2. Captain Samuel2 Mayo (rev. John1), of Barnstable, Oyster Bay (Long Island), and Boston, was born in England about 1620 He seems to have come with his father to Barnstable, and for many years resided there.
In 1643 he married Tamsin2 Lumpkin (william1) of Yarmouth, who was born in 1626. In 1653, he, with Peter Wright and Rev. William Leveridge, of Sandwich, were purchasers of Oyster Bay on Long Island. The year after, in company with others, he removed thither. In 1654, he was pressed into an expedition against the Dutch. He is. then spoken of as "of Barnstable," perhaps because he had not gained a residence in his new home. How long he was detained in service is not certain; but in 1658 he moved to Boston, where he died, in middle life, in 1663
In April, 1664, power of administration was granted to his father, Rev. John1 Mayo on the estate of Samuel2 Mayo, deceased, mariner as his widow, Thomasine, declining to administer Mrs. Samuel1 Mayo afterwards married Mr. John Sunderland of Eastham (born 1618). She died in her eightyfourth year, June sixteenth, 1709, and was buried in the old burying ground in Harwich (now Brewster).

  • REV. JOHN MAYO.
  • Although this is an Irish name, the subject of the following sketch was born in England and graduated from an English university. He came over probably about 1638, and in 1639 was in Barnstable, where he was ordained a teaching elder in connection with Rev. John Lothrop. He was a freeman in 1640. In 1646 he removed to Eastham and subsequently took charge of the churchi in that town, where he continued until 1655, when he was settled over the second, or North, church in Boston. In 1673, in consequence of advanced age and infirmities, he went again to Barnstable, and there and at Eastham and Yarmouth passed the remainder of his life with his children, dying at the latter place in May, 1676. He was a man of prominence as a minister, and in 1658 preached the annual election sermon. His wife was named Tamosin, or Tamsin ; she died in Yarmouth in 1682. His chil-

    • SAMUEL MAYO.
    • Samuel, son of Rev. John was in Barnstable in 1639. He adopted the profession of mariner, running a packet for some time between the Cape and Boston. He afterwarda became connected with some members of the Sandwich church In the purchase of Oyster Bay, Long lsland. There was a wide difference among the Sandwich settlers on theological points, but in this instance the minister, Rev. William Leverich, and his sympathizers, were the liberal and tolerant wing, and were In the minority. Mr. Leverich and his associates resolved upon removal, and Mr. Mayo conveyed their goods and effects to the new settlement. The Dutch were then our enemies, and under a warrant from an officer of Rhode laland, in 1654, Mr. Mayo's vessal was seized at Hampstead harbor, for alleged unlawful Intercourse with them. — This being regarded as a high-handed offence against the dignity of Plymouth Colony, commissioners were sent to Rhode lsland to look after the matter. The act was disclaimed by the government of Rhode lsland, and an award of £150 damages made. — Mr. Mayo afterwards removed to Boston, where he died in 1663. He married Thomasine, daughter of Wm. Lumpkin of Yarmouth and his children were : Mary, 1645 ; Samuel, 1647. These two were baptized together 8 Feb. 1650. The long lapse of time for those days between the births and baptism, and the fact that the mother joined Mr. Lothrop's church Jan. 20 preceding the baptism, indicates that she was in sympathy with the disaffection towards the majority of the Yarmouth church and the minister, which was known to exist at that time. Other children were : Hannah, born Oct. 20, 1650; Elizabeth, May 22, 1653 ; Nathaniel, Apl. 1, 1658 ; Sarah, 1660. The last two were born in Boston.
  • The Cape families of this name are derived from John and Nathaniel, who went with their father to Eastham, where they settled. John married Hannah Reycroft, according to the Colonial Record, and his children were: John, born Dec. 15, 1652; William, Oct. 7, 1654 ; James, Oct. 8, 1656 ; Samuel, Aug. 2, 1658; Elisha, Nov. 7, 1661 ; Daniel, Jan. 24, 1664; Nathaniel, April 2, 1667; Thomas, June 24, 1670, who died soon; Thomas again, July 15, 1672. Nathaniel, married Hannah, daughter of Gov. Thomas Prence, and had Thomas, born Dec, 7, 1651 ; Nathaniel, Nov. 16, 1652 ; Samuel, Oct. 12, 1655; Hannah, Oct. 17, 1657 ; Theophilus, Dec. 17, 1659 ; Bathsheba, 1662.

Increase Mather) in the beginning of 1672, say: "Mr. Mayo, the Pastor, likewise grew very infirm, insomuch as the congregation was not able to hear and be edified." The congregation therefore desired a new minister and he consented, "On the 15th of the 2d month [April] 1673, removed his person and goods also, from Boston to reside with his daughter in Barnstable where (and at Yarmouth) since he hath lived a private life, as not being able through infirmities of old age to attend to the word of the ministry. The day of the 3d [May] month 1673 he departed this life at Yarmouth, and was there buried." His widow Tamison (Tamsen) died also at Yarmouth, Feb, 26, 1682-3.

  • 1 Mr. MAYO was in Barnstable in 1639, and became 'teaching elder' in the church of which Mr. Lathrop was pastor. His relation to the church here is said to have been that of "religious teacher" -- perhaps implying that he was not invested with the pastoral office. In Boston, he was nducted to the pastorate Nov. 8, 1655, and continued in office until 1673. They Plymouth record says, "Growing aged and unable to carry out his office, he removed again into this Colony, and lived near Yarmouth, and not long after fell asleep in the Lord." Rev. Increase Mather, who succeeded him in Boston, has, with greater particularity furnished us with the following record: "1672, in the beginning of which year, Mr. Mayo, the pastor, likewise grew very infirm, insomuch as the congregation was not able to hear and be edified; whereupon, the brethren, the pastor manifesting his concurrence, desired the teacher to take care for a supply of the congregation that the worship of God may be upheld among us." Again, "on the 5th mo. 1673, Mr. Mayo removed his person and goods to reside with his daughter in Barnstable, where, and at Yarmouth since, he hath led a private life, as not being able, through the infirmities of age, to attend to the work of the ministry. The -- day of May 1676, he departed this life at Yarmouth, and was there buried." Mr. Mayo preached the annual Election Sermn, June 1658. He, with his entire family, came from England.

In 1639 she made from Boston to Gravesend in the Thames in 23 days. In her Captain Pierce made his last voyage to the Bahamas, where he was killed by the Spaniards at New Providence on 13 July 1641."

In 1654 Pastor William Leverick of Sandwich had accepted Channcy's ideas about night communion. In search of peace he set out for Oyster Bay, LI, with his family and a company inclusive of the Samuel Mayos, in the Desire". In Hampstead Harbor, the bark with her cargo was taken by Capt.

'Samuel Mayo was at least in his teens when the family moved to Barnstable in 1639. Samuel was ordained a teaching elder (minister) April 15, 1640 at Barnstable. When his family moved to Eastham, Mass. in 1646, he stayed at Barnstable. He throve as a mariner. As soon as he could handle a boat, and knew how cod differ from hake, he set up in the fishing trade. He married William Lumpkin's daughter Thomasine, of Yarmouth, who had the same given name as her own mother and her mother-in-law. In 1647 the town deeded him land for a fishhouse, on Crowell's Point below his dwelling. He had, beside fishing smacks, coasters, and ran a packet to Boston, long before Barnstable had her great fleet to make it the busiest port on Cape Cod. In the earliest days John Davis' shallop served every purpose. But no vessel was built in the town for 35 years. In 1650 Capt. Samuel Mayo became Master of the bark Desire, the first important ship to hail from Barnstable.

'She was a swift craft and her log has interest, as she was the third vessel laid down in Massachusetts. She was built at Marblehead in the summer of 1636, of 120 tons burden. 3 falcons and a falconet with other equipment came from the bark Warwick. Her first master for whom she sailed was Capt. William Pierce, 'a skillful navigator and a Christian gentleman.' She first took Endecott's soldiers to Block Island for the Pequot War, and the next year carried them supplies.

Then she sailed to the West Indies with prisoners, rum, and salt fish; to return in 7 months laden with cotton, salt, and the first negroes to be enslaved in New England. In 1639 she made from Boston to Gravesend in the Thames in 23 days. In her, Captain Pierce made his last voyage to the Bahamas, where he was killed by the Spaniards at New Providence on 13 July 1641. The good ship headed for home; her dead were buried at sea.

'The original owners of the Desire were in debt to the John Harvard estate, according to accounts made up by Captain Pierce, Master, and the Agent of Mtr. Craddocke, one of them, and passed by Mr. Peters, another owner. When the president of Harvard College brought suit against William Pierce, Jr., and Richard Web in Middlesex court the debt was long overdue and in excess of 80 pounds. There is record of a hearing on 1 Oct. 1650. Eventually the Desire came to be controlled by Capt.

Samuel Mayo and his partners.

'Samuel took some settlers and their belongings to Oyster Bay, Long Island and in 1653 was associated with Peter Wright and William Leveridge in the purchase of Oyster Bay, Long Island from Assiapum. The actual purchase was made there in April of that year.....

'Lloyds Neck, called by the Indians Caumsett, contains about 3,000 acres of land; projecting into the Sound between Cold Spring and Huntington Harbor, near Oyster Bay, New York. The purchase of this Neck was made the 20th of Sept., 1654, from Ratiocan, Sagamore, of Cow Harbor (now Northport) by Samuel Mayo, Daniel Whitehead and Peter Wright, three of the first settlers of Oyster Bay, for the price of 3 coats, 3 shirts, 2 cuttoes, 3 hatchets, 3 hoes, 2 fathom of Wampum, 6 knives, 2 pair of stockings, and 2 pair of shoes. They sold out to Samuel Ancher, on the 6th of May 1658, for 100 pounds.'
'Capt. Samuel Mayo had his vessel seized for intercourse with the Dutch, by Thomas Baxter, under Rhode Island authority. It was suposed he had been trading with the Dutch in New York who were then at war with England. He obtained restitution with a degree for 150 pounds damage.
'Samuel witnessed a deed in Waymouth, Mass. in 1657. By 1658 he had moved to Boston where another of his 9 children were born. Capt. Samuel Mayo was also called Deacon. He died not too many years later in 1664.' Ibid.; p.11-12.
'Whether Massachusetts Puritans did or did not 'contract their church policy by a species of contagion from the Separatists at Plymouth,' from the settlement of the Bay a drift from Plymouth
thither persisted. Chauncy, lacking pecuniary support, left Scituate in 1654; the D.N.B. avers 'his disease was discontent, his manners offensive and his differences self-made.' Pastor

William Leverich of Sandwich had accepted Chauncy's ideas about night communion. In search of peace he set out for Oyster Bay, Long Island, with his family and a company inclusive of the

Samuel Mayos, in the Desire. In Hampstead Harbor the bark with her cargo was taken by Capt. Thomas Baxter, a Rhode Island privateer commissioned to act against the Dutch. At once, when

the Commissioners of the Untied Colonies took the matter up, the Providence Assembly repudiated Baxter. He was arrested in Connecticut, and prosecuted in the Connecticut Court by the owners of the Desire: Dea. William Paddy, Capt. Thomas Willet, merchant John Barnes, and Capt. Samuel Mayo. Baxter was mulcted 150 pounds damages, obliged to give up the ship, and penalized 50 pounds for his 'insolent carriages in the Court.'
