About Benjamin Thwing

Came to Massachusetts in 1635 aboard the Susan and Ellen, as a servant of Ralph Hudson .



Arrived in Cambridge MA in 1635. Sailed on the Susan and Ellen out of London as an apprentice to Ralph Hudson who was married to Mary Thwing. Parents possibly John and Helen Thwing of Kingston-Upon-Hull outside of York, England. I base this on the fact that Mary was the step-child of John and the natural daughter of Helen.

I would love to delete "No Name Brother"--mistaken addition to tree.



Benjamin Thwing was a servant and joiner born about 1619 (aged 16 on 18 April 1635). He came from Hull, Yorkshire to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the Susan & Ellen (on 18 April 1635, "Ben[jamin] Thwing," aged 16, servant of RALPH HUDSON {1635, Boston}, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Susan & Ellen). He first settled at Cambridge MA, and moved to Boston in 1636. He died by 7 January 1673[/4] (date of inventory). MARRIED By 1642 Deborah _____. ASSOCIATIONS: The English origin given for Benjamin Thwing is based on his sailing to New England as servant of RALPH HUDSON {1635, Cambridge} who was from Hull and on his presumed relation to Mary (Watts) Hudson, wife of Ralph, who had Thwing half-brothers. Thwing presumably also resided in Cambridge for his first year in New England. In his will of 24 September 1638, Ralph Hudson bequeathed to "my man Benjamin Thwing" £10 at the end of his term of service. In her will of 26 September 1651, Mary Hudson, Ralph's widow, bequeathed to "Benjamin Thwing" £6. Anderson's Great Migration
