FONES

There is a traditional ancestral line, for which I have seen no evidence:  (NEHGR 18:185 ?)

William Fownes (c.1400) of Saxby, Worchester, married a daughter of Sir Robert Hyelton

George Fownes (c.1435) married a daughter of Malbanck, Baron of Malpas, Chester

William Fownes (c.1470) married Miss Telham of Telham, Sussex

John Fones (c.1494) married Miss Bradley, of Saxby, Devon

John Fones (c.1520) married Miss Lewell, of Dedford, Worcester, and had sons Robert, John, Thomas, Humphrey, Nicholas, and William.  Both sons John (b.1554) and Thomas (b.1556) are shown as the father of Thomas Fones (1573-1629)

Another suggestion starts with:
William Fones (c.1550) lived at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, as the father of:

Thomas Fones (24 Mar 1572/3-15 Apr 1629) m.25 Feb 1605 at St Peters, London, to Anne Winthrop (16 Jan 1585/6-16 May 1618); m(2) Priscilla Burgess, widow Shearman.   He was born at Dedford in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, apprenticed 1595 to a grocer in London, and was made a freeman of the Company of Grocers in 1602, but became an apothecary.  He lived at the sign of the Three Fawns in Old Bailey, London.

Daniel Patrick purchased the site of Greenwich, CT, in 1640, accepting Dutch rule over that colony 9 Apr 1642, Elizabeth signing for her husband, who was ill.  Feake became mentally unstable, abandoned her and returned to England in 1647.  The Governor of New Netherland granted her a divorce, and she married in New Amsterdam in May, 1647, William Hallett (1616-1710). When Greenwich was ceded to New Haven Colony in 1650, the English refused to recognize her divorce, and they moved to Flushing, Long Island, which was still under Dutch control.  Their house near Hellgate was burned by Indians in September, 1655, and the last record of her was her purchase of a house from Edward Griffin in October 1655, though some report she died in 1668, or 1673.  Elizabeth was the basis for the Anya Seton novel, The Winthrop Woman.  Robert Feake returned to Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1650, and was supported by the town until his death.
