Biography
Bethiah Lothrop, daughter of Thomas Lathrop, was born on 23 July 1649 at Barnstable, Massachusetts.[1]
Born in 1649 in the colony of Massachusetts, Bethia was the youngest child of Rev. Thomas Lathrop and Sarah Learned Lathrop. Her mother had been married previously, and brought two children into the marriage with Thomas.
Bethia's paternal grandparents were Rev. John Lathropp and Hannah Howes. Bethia's father was a prominent member of the community, and her mother Sarah was also accustomed to a comfortable life from her first marriage to Thomas Ewer, the tailor. Sarah was his second wife and assumed the care of his first three children, and then her two with Thomas Ewer. Thomas and Sarah Ewer made the move from London to the New World in 1635 settling in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Only Thomas, Sara, Elizabeth aged four, and Thomas aged aged 1½ were listed as passengers on the James. I am not sure what the disposition of Thomas Ewer's first three children was.
In June of 1638, Thomas Ewer died, leaving Sarah with several young children. By December of 1639, Sara had married Thomas Lathrop in Boston.
On June 7, 1642 Thomas Lathrop was sworn as the constable of Barnstable and again in 1665. Thomas was also a surveyor of highways there in 1642.
During this time in Barnstable, Sarah and Thomas began their family, having six children between 1640 and 1649 when Bethia was born.
By June 1656, Thomas was admitted freeman June 3, 1656. As a freeman, this meant that Thomas was a member of the church and was able to vote in regards to the colony and it's leadership.
Also in 1656, Thomas served on the Grand Enquest. The Grand Enquest is similar to what is now known as a Grand Jury. It was made up of freeman who served as "the voice of the community" in legal matters, criminal and civil. The members were responsible for investigating crime and/or community conditions and bringing charges against those who may have committed the crimes. Other responsibilities included a duty of surveillance amongst the community for illicit or unacceptable behavior which could include drunkenness, failure to attend church, officers and elected officials conduct. I think it would have been an honor to have been appointed but also a burden on one's morality and loyalty.
In 1667 Thomas Lathrop and Shuball Linnitt were ordered to administer upon the estate of Thomas Ewer, son of Sarah Learned and Thomas Ewer the tailor, and were appointed guardians to Thomas Ewer's children.
Bethia Lathrop married John Hinckley in July of 1668 in Barnstable, Massachusetts. John was the brother of Thomas Hinckley, the governor of Plymouth Colony. Bethia's first child was born in May of 1669 and her eleventh child was born 1692. In July of 1694 she died and was buried in Barnstable, Massachusetts. John remarried several years later in 1697 and Bethia's youngest children were raised and nurtured by his second wife, Mary.[2][3][4][5]
