  • Notes 
    • ******** From Wikipedia *******************************

      In 1641, Thomas secured Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, the Elizabeth Islands, and other islands as a proprietary colony from Sir Ferdinando Gorges and the Earl of Sterling. This enabled him to transfer his business operations there. With the help of his son Thomas, a settlement was established and farming and whaling enterprises were begun.

    • ***********************************************
      * THOMAS MAYHEW (Matthew4), bapt. 1 Apr. 1593 at Tisbury, Eng., is the Governor, first of the name in this country, whose personal history has been sufficiently detailed in the two preceding volumes. The name of his first wife is not known nor has any clue to the date and place of the marriage been found. Neither is it known when or where she died. [Iris Gardner writes, "1st wife of Thomas Paine Mayhew was Martha Parkhurst b. 1595, d. 1635. Their son was Thomas Mayhew Jr., who married Jane Gallion."] He m. (2) Mrs. JANE (Gallion?)* PAINE, wid. of Mr. Thomas Paine, a London merchant, abt. 1634 (Vol. II, p. 90, Annals of E.). [*The name Gallion, if it be correctly given, is very rare in England. Galland is found in Green's Norton where the Paines owned property, and Gallyon in Ramsey, Huntingdonshire.] She was living 15 May 1666, but died before her husband. In London the compiler found references to a Gallion family, to which she may have belonged, and he has many other English notes relative to the Mayhews which he hopes to follow up in the future.

      Some interesting additional facts have also been discovered by the compiler respecting the early life of Gov. Mayhew. It will be recalled (Vol. I, p. 114) that a contemporary writer states that the Governor was "a merchant bred in England, as I take it, at Southampton."

      FROM: http://history.vineyard.net/mayhew.htm
      *********************************************************

      During a recent visit of the compiler to England confirmation of this was obtained which shows that this statement is correct. The following is verbatim copy of a record in the "Book of Free Commoners" belonging to the corporation of Southampton:

      "Nono die ffebr' 1620 (i.e. 1621) Thomas Mayhew late servant and apprntiee unto Richard Masey of the Towne and countie of Southampton mrcer havinge well and truely served his spprntiship with his said mr whoe beinge prsent testified to the same And he the said Thomas Mayhewe (desieringe to be admitted a free commoner of the said Towne to use his trade of a mrcer in this said Towne and his said mr likewise desieringe the same) was therefore this prsent daie admitted and sworren a free commoner accordingly."

      An interesting and important statement is therein found which recalls the statement of Thomas Macey of Nantucket (who is said to have emigrated from Chilmark, co. Wilts), that Governor Thomas Mayhew was his "honored cousin" (N. Y. Col. Mss., Vol. 25) and here is found documentary evidence that Thomas Mayhew was an apprentice of Richard Macey, a Southampton merchant. Richard Macey, his master, was a native of Chilmark and in his will of 20 Nov. 1633 he provided for his burial in that parish (Arch. Sarum X. 30). Undoubtededly further search would reveal the exact relationship of this Richard to Thomas Macey, the emigrant, and thus show the kinship between the families of Mayhew and Macey.

      Governor Mayhew had the following named children:

      By First Wife:

      20. THOMAS, b. (1620­1).

      By Second Wife:

      21. HANNAH, b.15 June 1635; m. (1) THOMAS DAGGETT (3); (2) SAMUEL SMITH.
      22. BETHIAH, b.6 Dec. 1636; m. (l) THOMAS HARLOCK; (2) RICHARD WAY 1675. [Iris Gardner writes, "Mary E. Way did a study of the Way Family of Nantucket, and wrote a book as well, titled The Way Family. My connection is with Bethiah Mayhew, who married Richard Way. She was the daughter of Thomas Paine Mayhew and Jane Gallion. Simon Mayhew was my 13th Great Grandfather.]
      23. MARY, b.14 Jan. 1639­40; Prob. d.y.
      24. MARTHA, b. (1642); m. THOMAS TUPPER 27 Dec. 1661. [*From this marriage was descendant the late Sir Charles Tupper, prime minister of Canada.]
