Alice Pemberton

Biography

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pemberton-6

James Pemberton came to Massachusetts with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. He applied for Freemanship in the fall of that year. He disappears from the records until 1633 when he appears in Charlestown with his wife Alice. She is obviously a good puritan woman who was made a full member of the church. James was not, there is no record of him taking the Freeman's Oath or becoming a full church member.

James Pemberton and Alice had four children, three of whom, outlived him. Alice died before October 1651, when James is known to have had a new wife, Margaret.

In the Middlesex County Court on 9 Jan. 1653/4 “whereas James Pemberton wyth Marget his wife, Edward Barton ye son-in-law on the one part and Richard Exter with Bridget his wife and daur Elizabeth on the other part have agreed that wee Capt Robert Keane Tho Marshall, Will Serjeant and Joseph Hills shall determine case of Dispute” [8]

James died in 1662, leaving a very modest estate.
