Augustine Jean was born in the village of La Tacq, Parish of St. Ouens, Isle of Jersey, , Channel Islands, England, 9 Jan 1647. He was a French Norman. The tradition of the sea was in his blood and there must have been the lure of the distant horizons an heritage of his Viking ancestors -- as even before he was 28 years old tradition has it that he made more than one voyage to America on his own ship. In Nov. 1674 his father Edmond /Edmund JEAN de la Tacq of St. Owens (1597-1674) died severing the last of his ties to home, his mother Esther La Rossignol (1612-1672) had died two years before. The following spring 1675 he sailed to America as Captain in the merchant service with Pierre Baudoin. He settled first in Reading, Massachusetts were he was known as “Mariner of the Isle of Jersey.”

His full baptismal name was “Augustine Le Rossignol Jean” by this name he sold his estate in the Isle of Jersey in 1677. He was named ofter his mother’s brother. The name Augustine Jean little by little was anglicized to John Gustin. He can be found as Augustin Jean, Augustine John, John AUGuststin, Gustine, Gustan, Guston, Gustin, Etc.

King Philip’s War was at its height John GUSTIN was in Marlboro Massachusetts and served as sergeant in the company of Capt. Beers who was killed in a battle known as Beers' Ambush. He served under Captain Turner. Captain. Turner was killed by the Indians at the battle of Falls Fight.

After the war he received a grant of land from Gov. Danforth at Falmouth in 1680 and the privilege of operating a brick yard. He bought more Falmouth land with money left his by his father and mother. He was granted a fourth lot with liberty in the cove for a brick yard. In his Will he describes these lands as ‘lying in Casco Bay, at Martin’s Point and Pasumscot River,’ now the city of Portland, Maine.

He had married, 10 Jan 1678, Eliza / Elizabeth BROWN born March 26, 1657 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA and died Aft. 1720 in Falmouth, Cumberland, ME. Elizabeth was the daughter of Capt. John BROWN of Watertown and Ester (Hester) MAKEPEACE and granddaughter of Thomas MAKEPEACE of Boston. In the following year John and Elizabeth moved to his new property where their first son, Samuel and a daughter Sarah were born.

On 26 May 1690, the French, assisted by a party of Abenakis Indians, captured, sacked and burned Falmouth, John Gustin and and the Browne families being among the very few who escaped from that slaughter. After the attack only a chair was left on the Gustin property. The Gustin's fled to Lynn, where they remained until 1719. Children born in Lynn, Massachusetts were John, Abigail, Ebenezer, Thomas, and David. The title to the Falmouth property was listed in the will of [Augustine Jean].[During King William's War [the first of the French and Indian Wars], on September 21, 1689, Major Benjamin Church and 250 troops defended the town of Falmouth, Maine from native attack. 21 of his men were killed or wounded. Church then return to Boston leaving the small group of English settlers unprotected. (The following spring, May 1690, Castin returned with over 400 French and native troops and massacred the English settlers in the Battle of Fort Loyal. When Church returned to the village he buried the dead.) (Wikipedia, Falmouth, Maine.)]

He moved from Lynn, Massachusetts back to Falmouth 1n 1719. When he died aft 3 July 1719 in Falmouth, Cumberland, Main. He left a widow and seven children.

Immigrants Richard CHURCH and Anne MARSH 11th great grandparents

Richard Church (1610-1667) the immigrant, born February 8, 1610, married, May 18, 1627, Anne Marsh (1610-1684) daughter of Edward Marsh, of Braintree.
They arrived in Boston and settled, originally in Newton, Massachusetts. In 1636 he and his family went with Rev. Thomas Hooker to settle the area now know as Hartford, Connecticut. Church an original proprietor of Hartford 1637, received, in 1639-40, a home-lot on the east side of the road to the Cow Pasture (North Main St.) ; freed from watching and warding, etc. March, 1655; chosen chimney-viewer, 1648; surveyor of highways, 1655. Removed to Hadley with "the withdrawers," in 1659; d. there, Dec. 16, 166 1.

[Church resided on the east side of Burr street (originally known as the road from “Centinel Hill to the cow Pasture,” according to W. L. Porter.) “Centinel Hill” is that part of Main street at the head of the present Morgan street, and was originally much higher than it now is. The “Cow Pasture” was in the vicinity of the present Keney Memorial tower, and it was directly east of the “Cow Pasture” that Richard Church lived, his land probably extending down to the present Windsor street.]

He was a participant in the great controversy which divided the first Church in Hartford, and he sided with the party which opposed the Rev. Samuel Stone, as his signature to a letter to Mr. Stone’s remonstrance shows. This letter bears date of March 12, 1655, at which time Richard Church was in Hartford. Probably, in 1659, he removed to Hadley, with the “withdrawers,” and died there, December 16, 1667. Anne Church his widow, died March 10, 1684, aged 83.

Children of Richard Church and Anne Marsh are:

NOTE: There were two immigrants named Richard Church. They have been confused because they were born and died near the same time.

He lived his life in Plymouth, Salem, and Hingham Massachusetts.

As early as 1614, the residents of the Valley began to encounter the first representatives of European nations exploring North America. In time, English colonists driven in part by a search for religious freedom began to settle the Connecticut Valley. A dissenting Connecticut congregation under the leadership of Rev. John Russell in 1659 founded Hadley as an agricultural community on the east bank of the Connecticut River. John Pynchon purchased the site of the new settlement, a fertile peninsular plain defined by a bend in the Connecticut River, from the Nolwotogg community on behalf of those settlers. The first settlers laid out this area, formerly known as the Norwottuck Meadow, as the center of the new settlement before their arrival, with the Town Common, referred to as "the Broad Street," as the central feature. The common measured 20 rods wide and one mile long, with the Connecticut River defining both ends, and was reportedly based on the original plan of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Eight-acre home lots were ranged along both sides of the common, with farmlands behind.

In 1675-76, during King Philip's War, to guard against Indian attacks, a palisade that ran far enough behind the houses to include most of the barns and farm buildings enclosed the street and common. Legend has it that, during that conflict, the town was saved from destruction when, at a critical moment, William Goffe—one of judges who had helped execute the King of England, now hunted as a regicide—who showed up in the midst of the townspeople, warned them of the danger, and led the town in fending off the assault, disappearing shortly afterward. Goffe, later known as "The Angel of Hadley," became the subject of many legends. As one of the English judges who sentenced King Charles I to death, he had fled to hide in New England when the English monarchy was restored in 1660.

Original Lt. William Clarke gravestone from 1690,
still preserved in Northampton, MA graveyard.
Was replaced by a larger monument by relatives in 1884. [see below]

Lt. William CLARKE (1609-1690) m Sarah STRONG (1611-1675)

Lt.William Clark was born in 1606 or 1609 in Dorsetshire? England and died on 19 July 1690 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA. He is buried in Bridge St. Cemetery in the same aforementioned location. William married Sarah STRONG around 1636 in Dorchester, Suffolk Co., MA and she was born in England around 1611 and died on 6 September 1675 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA. She also is buried at Bridge St. Cemetery, Northampton, MA. William's second wife was Sarah Slye Cooper and they were married on 15 November 1676 in Northampton, Hampshire, MA. Sarah was born in England around 1620 and died on 8 May 1688. She was the daughter of George SLYE. (http://www.familytreesite.org/clarke.htm)

There are at least three versions on the arrival of William Clarke in the New World:

Version 1 - He departed Plymouth, England on March 30, 1630 aboard the ship 'Mary and John' arriving in Nautucket (now called Hull) on May 30, 1630. He would have been 21 at that time. This is the version that appears in most family records.

Version 2 - William Clarke emigrated in 1630 aboard the ship 'William and Mary' in the company of Rev. Mister Warham of Plymouth, Dorsetshire, England. He settled first in Dorchester, Suffolk, Ma. prior to 1635, where he officiated as Townsman or Selectman from 1646 to 1653, removing to Northampton in 1659.

Version 3 - William Clarke left England on the ship 'Mary and John', which sailed from London on March 24, 1633, arriving in New England in June of that year.

This last version seems the most likely, even though it does not agree with 'old family tradition'. The port of embarkation also differs.

"He was the first citizen of Northampton to be elected deputy to the General Court, and 14 times between 1663 and 1682 was elected to that office, although not consecutively. He was Associate Justice of county court for 26 years; In 1662, he was authorized by the General Court to solemnize marriages, being the first person in that town to hold that responsible position. Frequently appointed by the Court to deal with Indians. He was chosen Lieutenant of the first military company ever organized here, when that was the office of highest rank to which the company, on account of its small number of men was entitled, and was in active service during King Philip's War and was at the same time a member of the military committee of the county. He supplied the commissary department to some extent during King Philip's Indian War and the Legislature ordered the Treasurer to pay him in 1676 'thirty-eight pounds, eighteen shillings for "Porke and bisket" delivered to the country's use'. He helped to build the first grist mill and the first saw mill in the town. He was greatly interested in promoting the new settlement of Squakheag (Northfield) and is named as having served as town clerk at the second settlement of that place, although there is no evidence that he ever lived there. Several times he was chosen commissioner, with others, to determine disputed boundaries between Northampton and neighboring towns. His home lot, one of the largest, covered the north half of the Smith College property. Tradition states that here he built a block house upon this lot which was used for refuge during the Indian troubles. His dwelling house was burned in 1681, having been set on fire by a Negro, as he averred in search of food. * In 1671, he was licensed to sell "wine, cider or liquor for a year". He had large grants of land in the meadows and elsewhere and purchased many acres in different parts of the town. All his lands, embracing nearly two hundred acres, with the exception of 7 3/4 acres, he disposed of before his death to his sons, reserving to himself an annuity of 24 pounds.

"The house of Lieut. William Clarke, situated very nearly on the ground now occupied by the main Smith College building, was burned on the night of July 14, 1681. It was built of logs, and Clarke and his wife were living in it at the time. A Negro, named Jack, set the house on fire. He confessed the deed and pretended that it was done accidentally, while he was searching for food, swinging a burning brand to light his way. Jack did not belong in town; he was a servant to Samuel Wolcott of Wethersfield; was a vicious character, a forerunner of the great army of tramps now everywhere wearying the patience of the public, and had already been before the courts for other misdemeanors. His object undoubtedly, was robbery, and it is not probable that he went about the house searching for food even, with a lighted pine torch in his hands. Very likely after stealing whatever he could lay his hands upon, he set the house on fire to conceal the robbery, or from spite against William Clarke, who was at this time 72 years of age.

Capture and Punishment of the Incendiary. Jack was arrested in Brookfield or Springfield, and was brought before the court in Boston, where he plead not guilty. When his confession was read to him, however, he acknowledged it, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The court believed his confession as to setting the house on fire, but did not credit his statement that it was done carelessly. He was sentenced to be "hanged by the neck till he be dead and then taken down and burnt to ashes in the fire with Maria, the Negro". Maria was under sentence of death for burning the houses of Thomas Swan, and of her master, Joshua Lamb, in Roxbury. She was burned alive. Both of these Negroes were slaves. Why the body of Jack was burned is not known.

note 1: Many slaves were burned alive in New York and New Jersey, and in the southern colonies, but few in Massachusetts. note 2: Tradition has handed down the following items concerning the burning of Clarke's house: The Negro fastened the door on the outside so that no one could escape, and set the fire on the outside. William Clarke injured his hands considerably (pounded them, it is said) in his endeavor to escape, and his wife was somewhat burned. John Clarke, grandson of William, a little more than a year old, was brought out of the house and laid beside the fence. There was powder in one of the chambers, and when it exploded the ridge pole was blown across the road, and one end forced into the ground. The Negro had taken offense at something William Clarke had done in his official capacity, and set the fire in a spirit of revenge. He was discovered either at Brookfield, Springfield, or near New Haven, and identified by means of a jack-knife in his possession that belonged to the Clarke's."
