Generation No. 1       ENGLAND
(DEAREBARNE)1 DEARBORN was born about 1510 in England. He married UNNAMED. She was born about 1511 in England.   Dearebarne was the probable original spelling of the current name Dearborn.    

Child of (DEAREBARNE) DEARBORN and UNNAMED is: 
WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)2 DEARBORN, b. Abt. 1537, Willoughby, Lincolnshire, England.

Generation No. 2       ENGLAND
 
WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)2 DEARBORN (DEAREBARNE)1 was born Abt. 1537 in Willoughby, Lincolnshire, England as the third child and youngest son of "Dearebarne".  William married his wife (name unknown),  who was born around 1541 in Willoughby also.  

 Children of WILLIAM DEARBORN and UNNAMED are:

  • WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)3 DEARBORN, b. Abt. 1562, Willoughby, Lincolnshire, England; d. November 5, 1631, Willoughby, Lincolnshire, England.

  • JOHN (DEAREBARNE) DEARBORN, b. Abt. 1564.

  • Generation No. 3       ENGLAND
    WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)
    3 D
    EARBORN (WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)2, (DEAREBARNE)1) was born about 1562-1570  in Willoughby.   He married AGNES HAY May 2, 1594 in Markby, England.  Agnes was born around 1573 in Devonshire, England.  William died and was buried on November 5, 1631 in Willoughby, England and Agnes was buried in Willoughby 29 August 1613. 

     Child of WILLIAM DEARBORN and AGNES HAY is:  GODFREY4 DEARBORN, b. Abt. 1599, England; d. February 4, 1685/86, Hampton, Rockingham County, NH.    

    Thanks to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/DEARBORN/1997-11/0878574366:"William was born in Lincolnshire, England probably in the early 1570s."  On May 2, 1594, he married Agnes Hay at a thatch church,  St. Peter's Church in Markby, England*.   "He married (2) Jane ____, who was buried there 16 Nov 1628. William was buried there 5 Nov 1631. He died intestate, and on 9 Dec 1631 administration on the estate of William Dearbarne of Habertoft in Willoughby was granted to his son George Dearbarne of Sloothby, weaver. The inventory of the estate, which totalled L35-18-2, listed a debt of 20 shillings owed the estate by Godfrey Dearbarne (Consistory Court of Lincoln, Admons, 1631 No. 41). Earlier sources specify Willoughby as the birth location but this will be changed to Lincolnshire, only.  On 2 May 1594 when William was 24, he first married Agnes HAY, in Markby...."   "Agnes died bef 29 Aug 1613; she was 40."  "They had the following children: 2 i. George (<1597-)  3 ii. Thomas (<1600-) 4 iii. Godfrey (~1599-1685) 5 iv. Henry (<1609-).   William second married Jane _____?. Jane died in 1631.   *Now the only thatched church in Lincolnshire County, England.

    AND TO BOSTON, TO EXETER THEN HAMPTON, NH

    GODFREY DEARBORN (WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)3, WILLIAM (DEAREBARNE)2, (DEAREBARNE)1) was born 24 Sep 1603 in Exeter, Devon, England, a weaver by trade in England and America.  Religiously he was a Congregationalist, who came to America in 1639.  He lived in Boston, then Exeter NH, then Hampton NH were he died February 4, 1685/86.   The second child of William and Agnes Dearborn, his wives are unclear to me.  

    In trying to resolve who his wives might be, I have put the tidbits of information I have found to date in the following table format:

    1599 Godfrey Dearborn is born
    (He seems to have been born in 1599 with christening date in 1603).
    1605 Godfrey's future wife (1st wife?) Lucy is born.
    1605 Anne (Goody?)  (Godfrey's second wife?) is born. (Possibly born 1607)
    1605  Godfrey's future wife (3rd wife) Dorothy is born.
       
    Before
    1629 
    Lucy Richardson marries 1st husband John Fields.
    1629 Godfrey and Lucy Richardson (Fields?) marry in England.   June 23, 1629.
    She is about 24 and he is about 30.
    1630 Son William dies (died young or at birth???)  Lucy died also??
       
    1631 Godfrey marries Anne (Goody?)  (Godfrey's second wife?). 
    *Seating plan for the Hampton meeting house has a pew assignment for "Goody Derborn."   "Goody" is a nickname for "Good wife" so "Miss Goody" may only be a nickname.  Some websites list Lucy Miss Goody Richardson as his wife.  Perhaps both his 1st and 2nd wife were called by this nickname.  *Per Terry Dearborn at Dearborn-L Archives August 1997.
    1632 Son Thomas Dearborn is born. Nov 1, 1632  (1632-1710)
    1633 Son Henry Dearborn is born. 22 Mar 1633     (1633/34-1724)
    1636 Daughter (name unknown) is born. 
    1638 Daughter Esther Dearborn is born.  
    1639 Godfrey, wife (Anne?), Thomas, Henry, Esther 
    and daughter (name unknown) come to America.
    1641 Daughter Sarah Dearborn is born.   (1641-1714)
    1642 Son John B. Dearborn is born.   (1642-1731)
    (He will be named as Executor in Godfrey's 1680 Will.)
    Abt 1662 Anne (Goody?) dies at age 57.
       
    1662 Godfrey marries Dorothy Dalton, widow of Philemon Dalton. 25 Nov. 1662
    1680 Godfrey completes his Will and names Dorothy as his wife, lists that a granddaughter Ann "Shatredg"* lives in his household, and states that all his 3 daughters are living in 1680, as well as Thomas, Henry and John.  No son William is listed.  *His daughter Esther, b. 1638; m. May 14, 1661 to Richard Shortridge (parents of Ann "Shatredg").
    1685 Godfrey dies.
    1696  Dorothy dies at age 91.

    The Dearborn Monument
    Hampton High Street Cemetery
    Hampton, NH 

    Built on 4 elevated lots 
    (1,196 square feet)

    $10,000 bequeathed by Joseph Frederic Dearborn, Attorney, to honor his first American ancestor, Godfrey Dearborn.

     Made of Barre, Vermont granite where it was created October 1890. 

     The monument is 46 feet tall.

    Some of the inscriptions:

    "DEARBORN"

     "'Erected 1890, by Joseph Frederic Dearborn, son of Jonathan and Sarah Towle Dearborn, in memory of Godfrey Dearborn'

    "'Ancestor of the Dearborn family in America, who emigrated from Exeter, England, to Exeter, N.H., in 1639, settled in Hampton in 1650, and died in 1686"

    Godfrey Dearborn 
    is not buried here.

    PER:  Dearborn-L Archives:  On 10-31-97 CTurpinABC@aol.com :
    "Godfrey and his family came to America by 5 June 1639, when he signed (by making his "D" mark) the "Exeter Combination," an agreement for self-government signed by 35 men, at the establishment of Exeter, NH. Godfrey was one of the followers of Rev. John Wheelwright, the founder of Exeter, who was from Alford, Lincolnshire (just a few miles from Hannah), and was banished from the Mass. Bay Colony in 1639 along with his flock, for supporting his sister-in -law, the celebrated Anne Hutchinson, in the Antinomian controversy.  Godfrey lived in Exeter for about ten years after which he moved to the neighboring town of Hampton, NH. He built a house (still standing at 73 Exeter Rd. [Rte 27]) reputed today to be the oldest frame house in the state."


    Note:  Exeter, never officially incorporated, is the only NH town settled for religious reasons where founder John Wheelwright and his 175 followers could practice their Puritan beliefs undisturbed following Wheelwright's banishment from Boston (the Massachusetts Bay Colony).  Exeter's tiered local government, called the Exeter Combination, became a model for town meetings and selectmen-ruled communities all over the state of NH.  Godfrey served as a selectman in Exeter NH and again in Hampton NH where he moved to in 1648.  He owned farms in both communities.
