About Honour Rolfe

There is a record of an oral will by Honor at Newbury, Mass., which confirms her death date and progeny. Thomas Blanchard was her son-in-law, Anna's first husband, who died the very same month (was there a plague?).

Honor married Henry ROLFE, son of John ROLFE and Honur, on 28 May 1621 in Whiteparish, Wiltshire, England. (Henry ROLFE was born on 5 Sep 1585 in Whiteparish, Wiltshire, England and died on 1 Mar 1643 in Newbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts

Honour Rolfe was born abt 1598 in Hamptonworth, Wiltshire, England and died 19 December 1650 in Charleston, Middlesex, MA. Honour died at the home of her daughter Ann Blanchard. She married her cousin Henry Rolfe, son of John Rolfe of Wiltshire, on May 26, 1631 in Whiteparish, Wiltshire, England.

Henry Rolfe's father (John Rolfe) was the brother of Honour Rolfe's maternal grandfather as Honor's mother Agnes also married a Rolfe (Richard, b. ca. 1567) who may or may not have been directly related to her.

Henry and Honour emigrated to New England in 1635 where they settled in Newburyport Mass, in that part of the town that, in 1764, separated as the town of Newbury. It is not known on which vessel they sailed.
