VICKERS OR VICKERY FAMILY. [Communicated by William H. Whitmore.]

The account in Savage's Dictionary is very meagre; the following sketch of the family, prepared from the records, will be found, I trust, tolerably complete.

Of Isaac2 Vickers, son of George, sen., the record is more complete. He married, 1st, Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. Thomas Cromwell, and had

• Anna who m. Benjamin Loring 8 Oct., 1702, and d. 15 Aug., 1723, aged 47;
• Rebecca who m. Samuel Binney 11 Nov, 1701.

His wife was the widow of Richard Price, by whom she had sons Thomas, Joyliffe, and Richard, and dau. Elizabeth who m. Joseph Lobdell.

In proof of this see deed dated 27 Feb., 1703, Suflf. Reg., xx, 44. Martha Ballard, widow, " in consideration of receiving certain lands from Joseph Lobdell, mariner of Boston, Samuel Binney and Rebecca his wife, Benjamin Loring and Anna his wife, both of Hull; the said Elizabeth, Rebecca and Anna being the daughters of Elizabeth Vickore sometime Price, the daughter and heir of Capt. Thomas Cromwell sold to them another house also part of the Cromwell property, which was given to her by the will of John Joyliffe of Boston, who intermarried with Anna, the relict-widow of her father Robert Knight, and sometime tho widow of said Cromwell."

From Family Profile: Captain Thomas Cromwell, Seventeenth-Century Pirate by Thomas E. Jones Published Date: December 1985. link

Circumstantial evidence suggests that he was married to Anne _ by 1639 or 1640.

Cromwells will was short and probably hastily prepared after his injury He left five pounds to his daughter, ten pounds to Goodwife Sherman five pounds to Goodwife Spaule six bells to the Town of Boston, and the remainder of his estate to his wife, Anne

Although there is no solid evidence of Anne's parentage, Cromwells will raises the possibility that she was the Anne listed as daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Sherman and sister of Alice Sherman who married Thomas Spaule.

The Cromwells had only one child,

• Elizabeth, conjectured to have been born around 1640 She first married Richard Price on 18 August 1659.
  • They had Thomas b. 22 July 1660, Joyliffe b. 2 March 1662, Elizabeth b. 10 February 1664, and Richard b. 26 March 1667. The older Richard died in 1674. The older Elizabeth (i.e., Cromwell daughter) married her second husband, Isaac Vicers, between the period of 1674 and early 1680.
    • Elizabeth Price (i.e., Cromwell's granddaughter) married James Townsend of Boston.
    • Rebecca Vicers who married Captain Samuel Binney of Hull on 11 Nov. 1701.
