Rev. John LATHROP (13th great grandfather) Religious Prisoner at Newgate 1632 - 1634

REV. JOHN LATHROP

(1584-1653) Reformer, Sufferer, Puritan, Man of God

Immigrant on the "Griffin" to Boston in 1635

As a result of the political conflict between King Charles and Parliament religious dissenters were persecuted. Rev. John was imprisoned from 1632 to 1634. While in prison his wife, Hannah House, died. He was banished to America upon his release. [Lothrop Hill Cemetery, Barnstable, Barnstable County, Massachusetts]

Rev. John Lathrop, son of Thomas and Mary (Howell) Lathrop, baptized 20 December 1584 Elton, East Riding, Yorkshire, England, died 8 November 1653 Barnstable, Ma. He married 1st in England to Harriet or Hannah Howes, daughter of Rev. John and Alice (Lloyd) Howes or House, born Eastwell, Kent, England, died 1633 Lambeth, London, England. Rev. John married 2nd 17 February 1636/7 Ann ( ) Hammond. He first settled in Egertown in Kent, and afterwards succeeded Henry Jacob as pastor of the Southwark Church in London. He was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1605 and M.A. in 1609. In 1611 he became vicar of Edgerton (Parish Church) County Kent, England but resigned in 1623 and went to London where he became pastor of the first Independent Congregational Church of England. On the 22nd of April 1632, he, with others of this church were arrested and imprisoned in the Old Clink Prison at Newgate for practising the teachings of the New Testament. He and some others were released two years later on condition of leaving the country. (Thanks to Susan Dorris)
During his stay in prison, John Lothropp became convinced that the superstitious usages of the Church of England were wrong and he rejected their ceremonies as relics of idolatry. With a desire to reform the Sacrament of bread and wine, and to abandon the use of the surplice (a gown worn by the clergy), the sign of the cross in baptism, and other outward ceremonies and forms, Lothropp joined hands with the Puritans, even though he did not agree wholeheartedly with their religious views.

Even as he took this stand virtually guaranteeing to keep him behind bars, a fatal sickness weakened his wife, Hannah, and left her near death. The "New England's Memorial," (1699), by Nathaniel Morton gives this touching account of the incident and the events which followed:

His wife fell sick, of which sickness she died. He procured liberty of the bishop to visit his wife before her death, and commended her to God by prayer, who soon gave up the ghost. At his return to prison, his poor children, being many, repaired to the Bishop at Lambeth, and made known unto him their miserable condition by reason of their father's being continued in close durance, who commiserated their condition so far as to grant him liberty, who soon after came over into New England. 6

At Hannah's death, the seven surviving Lothropp children ranged in ages from five to eighteen years. One source indicates that Lothropp's followers dressed the children in their best and presented them to Archbishop Laud, demanding to know who was to care for them.

After the death of his [first] wife [Harriet or Hannah HOWES], Lothropp petitioned for liberty to go into foreign exile, and the petition was granted 24 April 1634. He was required to give a bond and his word that he would not "be present at any private conventicles [gatherings]." He did, however, delay his departure long enough to reorganize the meetings of his congregation, which was joined at this time of crisis by William Kiffin's group. On 12 June 1634, order was given by the High Commission Court that "John Lothropp, of Lambeth Marsh, be attached if he appear not on the next court day." When he did not appear, an order was given that Lothropp was to be imprisoned again if he did not appear in court on June 19. He did not appear, and another deadline, October 9, passed. Finally, on 19 February 1635, Lothropp and his compatriot, Samuel Eaton, were ordered taken into custody for contempt. By this time, however, Lothropp was in New England. John, accompanied by six of his seven living children, thirty-two members of his church, and many others, had sailed on the Griffin from London to Boston. Eaton did not fare as well and reportedly died in a London prison 31 August 1639. (Thanks to Richard W. Price)

In 1635, he with his wife and child, and several of his parishoners, sailed for America on the "Griffin" to Boston. He was the "First Minister" of Scituate, Ma. (Thanks to Susan Dorris)

John's journal records little regarding his family life in Scituate. The first Lothropp home built in Scituate was completed in 1644. It was twenty-one feet across the front and twenty-nine feet long. The chimney was on the west side, with an oven projecting outside the wall. The roof was thatched. The frame was of great timbers covered with planks an inch and a quarter thick, left unplastered. Lothropp complained that the drafts brought on a "stitch in his side." (Thanks to Richard W. Price)

Having met with opposition, Rev. Lathrop and his friends decided to move. They first decided to move to Sipican on the south shore, but pirates haunted that coast and they would be liable to visits from them as well as French privateers and hostile Indians. They finally decided that Barnstable, Ma. would be a better place. He evidently was an advocate of freedom in religion....(Thanks to Susan Dorris)

Rev. John Lothropp's bible brought to America by Rev. John Lothropp onboard the Griffin in 1634. Rev. John Lothropp was a religious leader in Plymouth Plantation where he founded three churches which are still in existence.

The trip across the Atlantic was uneventful. John Lothropp apparently owned the only Bible aboard ship. While reading it one evening, he fell asleep; hot tallow from the candle dripped onto several pages, burning a hole through them. John later obtained paper and pasted it over the partially burned pages, then hand-printed from memory the lines of scripture which had been destroyed. This 1606 Bible is on display in the Sturgis Library in Barnstable, Massachusetts, in a room of John Lothropp's original house, now restored and made part of the library. (Thanks to Richard W. Price)

One of the remarkable things about John Lothropp, and the highest tribute to his character as a minister, was the way in which his congregation followed him throughout his wanderings. Many members of his original Kent and London gathering were with him in Scituate and accompanied him to Barnstable. History shows few more perfect examples of the shepherd and his flock.

Biographical Summary

Samuel Fuller came on the Mayflower at the age of 12, with his mother and father Edward Fuller. (He should not be confused with Doctor Samuel Fuller, his uncle, who also came on the Mayflower). Samuel's parents both died the first winter at Plymouth. Samuel was apparently raised by his uncle, and became a freeman of Plymouth in 1634. He married in Scituate the next year to Jane Tothrop, the daughter of Rev. John Lothrop and his first wife Hannah Howes. He and wife Jane would raise their family initially at Scituate, before moving sometime shortly before 1641 to Barnstable. He would live out the next forty years of his life in Barnstable. His probate records of 1683-1684 indicate that his wife predeceased him. He also bequeathed an Indian named Joel to his son John.

Tidbits on [uncle] Lauren Hotchkiss ROUNDY son of Shadrach and Betsey QUIMBY ROUNDY

Shared by H. Gail Poulock, From JOURNEY TO ZION, VOICES FROM THE MORMON TRAIL, by Carol C. Madsen, Deseret Book, 1997, Trail Excerpt:

"...we traveled until we had come down out of the hills onto the Platte again. As we were coming along one evening just before camping time we saw three bears on the other side of the river near a thicket of brush. Smoot, the captain, called to me to get ready and go with him and kill them. Accordingly I got my gun which was empty and loaded it with a double charge as I knew it would stand it, and took my pistol - a single barrel - in case I got into a close fight, and went with him. By the time we got started there were three more boys who had got ready also and went with us. Their names were Charles Chipman, George Peacock, and Lorin Roundy.

Well by the time we got across the river the bears had gone into the brush so that we could not see them, but we had three large dogs with us which we put on their tracks and into the brush they ran, but when they got to the bear they were so astonished they would not even bark at them. When we got pretty well up to the brush, Smoot charged right up, thinking I suppose, to get the first shot, but when he saw the bear he was about like the dogs. He was so excited he forgot he had a gun but hollowed, 'Here she is boys, come and shoot her quick'. Accordingly we ran as fast as we could right up to the brush, but when we got there the brush was high enough that we could not see them on foot. Just at this time the old bear noticed Smoot on his horse and she paid no more attention to the dogs, but came from them to us with a vengeance. This excited Smoot the more, and he hollowed 'take care, boys, run - here she comes. She is a fifteen hundreder,' and turning his horse he laid the whip and away he went with a vengeance.

This so alarmed the boys that they all turned and ran as fast as they could, leaving the bear and me to settle our little difficulties as best we could. In the moment of their running by me and leaving me to fight it out alone, I though of Daniel Boone's companions running and leaving him alone in like circumstances..." Obviously, they had entered grizzly country.

Shared by H. Gail Poulock, From OUR PIONEER HERITAGE, Vol ?, section on Bands and Orchestras, page 123:

"In 1857 an invitation was sent by Governor Young to the various towns in Utah County to join Salt Lake County in celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Pioneer's entrance into Utah. The celebration was to be held at the head of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Some twenty teams, headed by the band in their fine new wagon, went from Springville. Lauran H. Roundy, who was the possessor of some very fine horses, was teammaster. It took them one day to reach their destination and the celebration went on for three days. On the morning of July 22nd, the group gathered in front of Johnson's home and just as old sol shot his golden rays into the valley, the procession started with the band playing and their flags flying. The present road across Provo Bench was marked off that day for future travel. That night they camped at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The evening was spent in contests by various bands, among the number being the famous Nauvoo Brass Band. The next day the long train wended it way up to the beautiful valley at the head of the canyon where tents were pitched under the spreading branches of towering pines. The next day was never forgotten by those present. There was a battery of artillery that kept the echoes ringing from day break until eight p. m. A fine program was carried out while dancing, feasting and merriment was kept up until the wee hours of the twenty-fifth. It was on this date that A. O. Smoot and Porter Rockwell rode into camp sunburned and travel-stained, to impart the startling news that Johnston's Army was on its way to Utah. Immediately everyone left for home to prepare to meet them." Another example of Lauren spelled wrong.

(Taken from note by great grandchild of Matilda Ann Roundy the daughter of Lorenzo and Susannah)

Lorenzo Wesley, born June 18, 1819 in Spafford. Lorenzo married Adeline (Adaline) Whiting (1822-1845) on May 1, 1843, in Nauvoo. After the death of Adeline, Lorenzo married Susannah Wallace (1820-1892) May 16, 1847, in Nauvoo, according to his bio-sketch in the appendix of The Roundy Family in America. On April 22, 1857, in Salt Lake City, Lorenzo took as a plural wife Priscilla Parrish (1833-1914). Lorenzo was the father of 18 children. Lorenzo drowned in the Colorado River in 1876. Depending on which written source one reads, his death by drowning occurred on May 24,1876, May 25, 1876, May 27, 1876, May 28, 1876, or September 24, 1876. [His body was never recovered.] Lorenzo, according to LDS records, was baptized in 1837. According to the Early Church Information File Lorenzo was ordained a Seventy 8 April 1854 by Lewis Robbins and served in the 2nd Quorum of the Seventy, yet other LDS records claim he became a High Priest in May of 1845. When he was endowed in the Nauvoo temple on 22 January 1846 he was listed as a Seventy. Lorenzo received his Patriarchal blessing from Patriarch John Smith on 30 December 1845 in Nauvoo, his lineage "House of Joseph". Lorenzo was an early Pioneer of Southwestern Utah. Called as one of a group of missionaries to labor in the Southern Utah Native American Mission in October of 1853, Lorenzo became an able leader much depended upon by Brigham Young. Lorenzo was the founder of "Upper Kanab", helped build the first sawmill in Washington County, and was a leader during periodic troubles with the Indians. Lorenzo helped investigate the circumstances of the Mountain Meadow massacre. He was called to serve as a member and leader of exploration trips into northern Arizona. Lorenzo hosted Brigham Young while on his annual visits to Southwest Utah, helped locate and buildup several settlements and was a bishop at Kanarraville. According to a brief sketch Jared Curtis' wife, Elizabeth J. D. Roundy, provided George Knapp Collins for his Spafford, Onondaga County New York, Lorenzo was "a member of the (Utah) Nauvoo Legion....He was superintendent of the Co-operative Mercantile Institution in Kanarra, Iron County, Utah, was two or three time elected to the Legislature, was ordained Bishop in 1860, and was finally made President of the Southern Colony of Mormons".

[Aunt] Susanna WALLACE second wife of Lorenzo Wesley ROUNDY

Susanna WALLACE ROUNDY Birth: Dec. 12, 1820 Perth, Ontario, Canada.
Married: Lorenzo Wesley ROUNDY 16 May 1847 along the Mormon Trail. Death: Jul. 4, 1892 Escalante, Garfield, UT.
A story of Susanna WALLACE ROUNDY - A Utah Pioneer By Wavie WILLIAMS PETERSEN (a great granddaughter) A PICTURE ON THE WALL When I was a little girl, I was really impressed by what my Mother told me about the sweet lady in a picture, which hung on our wall. The lady was my Mothers grandmother, Susannah Wallace Roundy. Susannah Wallace was born December 12, 1820 in Perth, Lanark, Upper Ontario, Canada. She was the first child to be born to Francis Wallace and Sarah Alexander. In those early days the first child was called upon to help with the work at a very early age. Susannah learned to cook and sew and also help with the outside chores. She was a strong, brave, English girl. In her early teens she heard about Joseph Smith and his new Mormon religion. She met some missionaries and was fascinated by what they told her about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and she knew in her heart it was true. While knowing that her parents were very much against her joining the church, she accepted the Elder's invitation, and was baptized at the age' of 16,without the consent of her parents. When her father found out, he told her he no longer wanted her as a daughter. One night she slipped-out determined to find the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That same night, Susannah's younger sister, Matilda, ages 14, also left home to be with Susannah. What an undertaking for two young girls, all alone, and having to walk at least 50 miles through the desolate Canadian country, before coming to a town of any size. After many years and much hard work the two sisters finally arrived at Nauvoo "The City Beautiful', probably in August of 1845. At last they had found what they had been seeking --the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which they both were baptized members, and which they knew to be the one and only true church. While living in Nauvoo they became acquainted with, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum and were saddened at their murder. They wanted to meet the new Prophet Brigham Young. What a joy it must have been for them to see the city of Nauvoo in all its summer beauty. But they found the city in turmoil at this time because the persecutions had become unbearable for the Saints. Preparations for evacuating the city were in full sway. Everyone was busy. The people in the church soon found that Susannah and Matilda were eager to work and were strong, dependable girls. A family by the name of Barnard met them and invited them to join with their family to work their way across the wilderness. Now the sisters were happy, they were needed. Susanna was to be the cook and Matilda was to tend children and do housework. The Barnard family [purchased part of the Roundy's property in Nauvoo] also needed a teamster. A young man by the name of Lorenzo Wesley Roundy offered his services and was accepted by Mr. Barnard. Lorenzo was a young widower with two small children; his wife had died at the time of the second child's birth. His mother, Betsey Quimby Roundy, was caring for the children. When Susannah became acquainted with Lorenzo she was happy. He was the first young man she had met in all of her life who believed as she did. Many were the times she had prayed that she might meet someone special and be married in the church. She and Lorenzo became very good friends. Susannah had read in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, about Lorenzo's father, Shadrack being called to serve in the presiding bishopric of the church, and knowing this, she had hopes that Lorenzo might be the answer to her prayers. Before they moved out of Nauvoo, Susannah had the thrilling experience of going to the beautiful Nauvoo temple and on February 3, 1846 there she received her endowments. This company of saints left Nauvoo in the winter. They crossed the Missouri River in the ice and snow and sub-zero weather. The next several months were spent at Winter Quarters where more preparations were made for crossing the plains. All of the Saints were very busy. Everyone helped with the work. A gristmill was built and a good supply of flour was ground. Susannah and Matilda helped with the knitting and weaving. There was happiness and a great deal of sadness too, as many deaths occurred that winter. Later in that spring of 1847, after Brigham Young and the first company of 148 people left on their way, the Barnard's and their helpers, Susannah, Matilda and Lorenzo, along with about a hundred others, began the long trek across the plains. It was a tiring journey as they traveled slowly (Susannah and Matilda walked) and they all had many problems and hardships. Somewhere along the weary way, Matilda became suddenly ill. Everyone tried to help, but late in the day Matilda passed away. It was all so sudden, now what was Susannah to do? My heart cried out in sorrow for Susannah, as I thought of the burial of her sister, of the few words spoken and the singing and the tears. Now she was all alone with no family or relative to console her. But she knew she must go on. By now she had become close to Lorenzo, and he proved to be a great strength to her. This was the second company to arrive in the Salt Lake Valley, doing so in August 1847. Lorenzo's father, Shadrack, met them out on the trail, he had been sent to help other groups arrive in the valley. Lorenzo and Susannah were married later that year (May 1847). Susannah was full of joy to have such a fine man for a husband. They made their home in Salt Lake Valley for about a year, then they moved 15 miles north to Centerville. Susannah and Lorenzo were very close friends to Brigham Young, having known and loved him in Nauvoo. It wasn't long until Brigham began to call Lorenzo to serve in various capacities for the Church. At this time it was suggested that Lorenzo take a second wife. It was not easy for Susannah to share him with someone else, but she finally gave her consent. So in 1857 Lorenzo married Priscilla Parrish, who was to share his companionship, trials and sacrifices, which were made by most of those early pioneers. Life for Susannah was never easy, there were endless hours of backbreaking toil. She raised eight children of her own, plus one boy by Lorenzo's first wife (the other child died soon after birth.) There was very little time for rest or leisure. Oh how I wish I could write an accurate and detailed account of the courage and endurance of this pioneer woman, Susannah Wallace Roundy. It would be a story of how she helped to civilize the frontier, of her personal re-collections of Indian raids for she lived through he Indian wars of the ‘sixties'. It would be a story of the crickets and grasshopper plagues, of the severe winters sad the blizzards and many other dangers--all of these plus her recollections of the excitements of pioneering. I wish I knew her remembrances as a wilderness mother, and of how she coped with the day to day living; how did she like fireplace cooking, washing by hand, sewing, knitting And weaving for hours and hours at a time, how long before she had a kitchen range, on which to cook, did she help to deliver babies, dress the dead for burial, did she mind milking and caring for the animals when Lorenzo was away? The great work of survival demanded as much from he women as from the men. I have only praise and love for the tireless efforts and great strength of Susannah, this faithful pioneer woman. In the early 1860's Brigham Young called Lorenzo, along with others, to travel to Southern Utah and settle the area. Lorenzo picked up his two wives and families and moved to the settlement of Upper Kanab. It was a difficult assignment because of the savage Indians, who were always plundering, fighting, and stealing. During the time they were there they suffered great losses and many hardships. They were then told to move out and go to the town of Kanarra in Iron County. Life there was somewhat calmer. Before long Lorenzo built a fine, two-story brick home for Susannah and another one across the street for Priscilla, his second wife. Susannah's home came to be the meeting place for many, young and old alike, and also served as headquarters for the church authorities as they visited Southern Utah. Lorenzo was ordained and set apart as Bishop by Apostle Erastus Snow, shortly after they arrived at Kanarra, being the first bishop there, and held that position until his death in 1876. In the upstairs of the new home, Susannah and Lorenzo furnished one room in an especially nice way. They put in a beautiful bedroom set, which Lorenzo freighted down from Salt Lake; Susannah wove carpeting for the floor, put up fresh looking white curtains and her best quilts on the bed. It was beautiful, and Susannah kept it spotlessly dean. This room became known as ‘Brigham's Room', for they had decorated it especially for their dear friend Brigham Young to use as he made his trips to St. George visit his winter home. Once when President Brigham Young was visiting with them he complimented Susannah on her fresh, clean, calico dress and the large full-length white apron she always wore. He said calico was as fine as silk, so long as it was clean and neatly ironed. He also said he would love to see the women of the church in dresses of silks and satins, if they made them themselves. In the beginning I mentioned the dress Susannah was wearing in the picture. It was a pretty, pure silk dress in bright green and white plaid. My mother remembered the dress very well, she said it was beautiful. Susannah was intrigued with what the prophet had said about dresses so she began planning. In the early years many mulberry trees were planted in Kanarra, in fact one grew on the Roundy's lot. Susannah knew that silk worms lived on mulberry leaves. Could she grow them and make herself a silk dress, she wondered? Soon she sent a mail order to Salt Lake for some of the tiny eggs. How exciting to see the small box they arrived in. Hurriedly she opened it, and found the tiny eggs were already hatching. It was in the springtime and the mulberry trees were just getting their shiny new leaves. Susannah fixed a special table and covered it with the tender new leaves. Carefully she placed the tiny worms on the leaves, It was absolutely amazing to see how much the tiny worms ate. Each day the amount of leaves had to be increased. Finally she brought in branches. In about the third week the worms began to attach themselves to the branches and to start spinning a thread from their own little bodies. About 6 to 10 weeks later their bodies had completely disappeared inside as a beautiful little ball of silk thread was formed around them. These had to be heated immediately to kill the moth inside the ball, before it broke out and destroyed the thread. Next came the careful unreeling of the silk thread, winding it into skins to be dyed, then spun and wound onto spools for weaving the silk material. The tiny worms were touchy. When with them one had to be very quiet--any noise or disturbance or chilling would cause an imperfection or tangle in the thread. When I think of the patience, the hours and hours of weaving, setting up and threading the loom and all the work involved, I feel sure Susannah deserved to be proud of her beautiful hand-woven, pure silk dress. She truly had earned the compliments, President Brigham Young gave her upon his next visit. Lorenzo was often called to investigate new locations for settlements and he would report on climate, water, fertility of soil and ether things. On these occasions Susannah was alone with the children. She spent many, many, lonely days and lonely hours awaiting the return of her husband. What if something had happened and she could never look into his eyes again. In spite of her loneliness, she stood at her post of duty as wife, mother, good neighbor and friend to all Then one day he did not return. Susannah waited in vain. At this particular time President Brigham Young called him, with a small company of men to check a region in Arizona. This required crossing the Colorado River by boat. It was springtime and at this time the river often became turbulent and treacherous. The boat they were in capsized in the middle of the stream. All were thrown overboard and all were saved except Lorenzo. It was said by the other, they were certain a cramp, caused by the cold water, must have struck Lorenzo, for they all knew him to be an excellent swimmer. It was May 24, 1876 at the age of 57 that Lorenzo was drowned. What an extremely and dreadful shock for Susannah. All her days were lonely then and memory brought her sad and mournful thought of by gone days. Could she bear it? She thought of her days of joy with her beloved Lorenzo, the joys of hard work she had gladly given to make and keep a warm, clean, friendly home for them. Susannah could not accept the shock of Lorenzo's death. Very soon she sold her home in Kanarra and moved to Widtsoe, Utah to be near one of her sons, later moving to Escalante, Utah. The rest of her days were filled with sad memories of Lorenzo's dreadful and shocking death. At the age of 72, on 4 July 1592, she passed away. She was buried in Escalante, Utah. So ends may story of a "Picture on the wall" A story of my dear great-grandmother, a true and faithful woman.
