Disputed Name

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Seabrook-9

There are no records that contain the given name of Robert Seabrook's daughter or Thomas Fairchild's wife. Her given name is Unknown. Her mother (probably) was not Alice Goodspeed.

Genealogy hates a vacuum. Several scenarios have been "discovered" and written down as possible given names for ______ (Seabrook) Fairchild.

• Emma - Emma Seabrok was bpt 01 Jan 1606 in IVINGHOE, BUCKINGHAM, ENGLAND but...she was daughter of Thomas, not Robert [2] :
• Faith - Fayth Seaybrowck bpt 21 Dec 1636 in TRING, HERTFORD, ENGLAND d/o Robart Seaybrowck[3] doesn't fit. She was much to young, only three in 1639.
• Joanna - Johanna Seabrok, bpt 08 May 1608 IVINGHOE, BUCKINGHAM, ENGLAND was a d/o Thomas Seabrok[4]
• Sarah - The problem with Sarah as a given name for Thomas Fairchild's wife is that Sarah the daughter of Robert married Thomas Sherwood, so we know her name was not Sarah.

Alt birthdate: June 1618 ___________________________

Robert Seabrook was born in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, about 1571. Alice Goodspeed was baptized in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire, England, on Sunday, August 19, 1576. They were married in Wingrave on Sunday, September 12, 1596. She took the name Alice Seabrook. She is the daughter of Nicholas and Margaret (_____) Goodspeed. They had three children:

• i. Mary Seabrook was born in Wingrave about 1604. She married William Preston; she married more than once.
• ii. _____ Seabrook [#537]: She was born in England before 1620, and died between 1653 and 1662.
• iii. Sarah Seabrook was born in England about 1623. She married Thomas Sherwood of Stratford sometime before 1642. Note that he is not the Thomas Sherwood of Fairfield who is an ancestor in this genealogy. Jacobus has the following entry for Robert Seabrook.

An elderly man, one of the early settlers in Stratford, he did not long survive. His will is not found, and our only knowledge of it comes from mention made of it in Stratford Deeds, where land was entered to the following persons which they had by gift from their grandfather Robert Seabrook: —Samuel Fairchild, Thomas Fairchild, Jehiel Preston, John Wheeler's wife, Samuel Stiles's wife, and perhaps others not noted. From this we deduce that he had daus. who m. Thomas Fairchild, William Preston and Thomas Sherwood; the wives of Wheeler and Stiles were daus. of Sherwood.

Preston was from Chesham, co. Buckingham, and the name Seabrook is common in that county, where at Wingrave a Robert Seabrook m. 12 Sept. 1596, Alice Goodspeed, bapt. 19 Aug. 1576, dau. of Nicholas, Jr., and Margaret Goodspeed. She was a cousin of Roger Goodspeed, the Barnstable settler. If this was the emigrant Robert, he may have married more than once; but unless research in England be made, we have only vague surmise on which to build.

Children (perhaps others)

1. ?Mary, b. abt. 1601, living in 1680; m. (1) abt. 1635, William Preston, and came with him to New England in 1635 ae. 34; m. (2) Thomas Kimberly, of New Haven and Stratford.
2. Daughter, b. by 1620; m. by 1639, Thomas Fairchild, of Stratford.
3. Sarah, b. abt. 1623; m. by 1642, Thomas Sherwood, of Stratford.

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register has:

Alice, bapt. 19 Aug. 1576; probably d. before her father, as she is not mentioned in his will; m. at Wingrave, 12 Sept. 1596, Robert Seabrooke, a legatee, with his children, in the will of her father.
