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: 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. Elizabeth Fones (21 Jan 1609/10-after1655) born at
the Winthrop manor at Groton, Suffolk, married 25 Apr
1629 Henry Winthrop (10 Jan 1607/8-3 Jul 1630) son of John Winthrop and
Mary Forth, who drowned trying to swim ashore from his ship the Talbot
when it first landed in Salem. Elizabeth followed in the Lyon on 2
Nov 1631. She married 2 Dec 1631 Robert Feake
(20 Sep 1602-1 Feb 1661/2) goldsmith, and lived at Watertown. Robert and
Capt. 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. Elizabeth Feake (1633-Nov 1675) married, late in
1658, Captain John Underhill (c.1609-21 Sep 1672)
They were married in Flushing, NY, and lived at the Underhill estate,
"Killingworth," Oyster Bay, Long Island. They attended the
Quaker Church at Flushing. Elizabeth Underhill (2 May 1669-after 1747) married
about 1689 Isaac Smith (1657-1747)
son of Abraham Smith. They lived on the east side of Hempstead Plains. She is
supposed to have married (2) Joshua Smith.
They attended the Quaker Church at Flushing until 1702, when he converted to the
Church of England under the preaching of Rev. George Keith, who stayed at his
house 21 Nov 1703.
