Came to America with parents in 1634. First at Watertown, then to Ipswich circa 1646, and finally to Werham circa 1655. Constable in 1669.

Biography

The Kimball family goes back several generations at Rattlesden, Suffolk Co, England. Towards the last of April 1634, Richard embarked on the ship Elizabeth (William Andrews, master). His wife Ursula, and children; Henry (15), Elizabeth (13), Richard (11), Mary (9), Martha (5), John (3) and Thomas (1) went with him. This is all recorded in Drake's Founders of New England. They landed at Watertown, New England. Martha Scott (age 60) and Thomas Scott (age 40), mother and brother of Ursula, traveled with them.

Henry married first, about 1642, Mary Wyatt, daughter of John and Mary Wyatt, of Ipsiwch, MA. She died in Wenham MA on 12-Aug-1672.

He married, second, Elizabeth, widow of William Raynor, who previously had been the second wife of Humphrey Gilbert of Ipswich.

On Aug 26, 1676, Henry received wages due him for services in King Philip's War of 1675-6, his brother Caleb served with him. His daughter Hannah, wife of James Godfrey, drew a land grant in Narragansett #4 as a reward for her father's faithful services in that war.

• Richard Kemball1 came to this country in the ship Elizabeth, William Andrews, master, in 1634. He appears to have gone, soon after landing, to Watertown, Mass. He settled in a different part of the town from that occupied by Henry Kemball1. According to Bond and other writers Richard and Henry were brothers. There is but little evidence to support this supposition, and it seems to be mainly founded on the fact that they both came over on the same vessel. Richard is said on the shipping list to be thirty-nine years old, but he was probably somewhat older. He was, however, in the prime of life, and soon became a prominent and active man in the new settlement.
• He first settled in Watertown, and his home lot is thus given by Dr. Henry Bond : .... etc.
• .... Soon after this date he was invited to remove

• to impswich, where they were in need of a competent man to act as wheelwright to the new settlement. Here he spent the remainder of his days. .... etc.
• ....
• Richard Kimball was of the parish of Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England, as is shown by the following entry on the parish register :
• https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/29/mode/1up
• Henry Kemball ye sonne of Richard and Vrsula his wife baptized 1615 12 of August.
• Ursula was the daughter of Henry Scott of Rattlesden, as appears from the following extract from Henry Scott's will :
  • .... etc.
• Richard Kimball married second, Oct. 23, 1661, Margaret Dow, widow of Henry Dow of Hampton, N. H.
• .... etc.
• https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/32/mode/1up
• .... On the twenty-second of the following June the earthly pilgrimage of Richard Kimball ended, and, aged more than eighty years, he joined the great majority.
• His wife did not long survive him, but died the succeeding spring, March 1, 1676. Richard Kimball1 was well to do for those early days. The inventory of his estate, which was taken July 12, 1675, and returned to court Sept. 28, 1675, amounted to £737 3s. 6d. He had already given to his children at their marriages.
• CHILDREN.
  • i. Abigail2, b. Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England; d. in Salisbury, Mass., June 17, 1658. She married in England John Severans, b. __ , d. April 9, 1682, of Salisbury, Mass., who is first styled a planter, afterwards a victualler and vinter. She is not mentioned in the list of passengers, with the others of her father's family, on the Elizabeth. She was in the prime of life at the time of her death. Mr. Severans married, second, Oct. 2, 1663, Susanna, widow of Henry Ambrose. Mr. Ambrose, after having lived in Hampton, N. H., Salisbury, Charlestown, and Boston, died in Boston in 1658.

  • 2 ii. Henry Kimball2, b. Rattlesden, Suffolk county, England. There seems to be some doubt as to Henry's exact age. It is given on the shipping list as aged fifteen, in 1634. This would give the year of his birth as 1619. But it is evident that the ages on the shipping list are only approximate. Henry himself deposes in court, Sept. 28, 1669, that he is aged 53. This would give the year of his birth as 1616. But the parish records at Rattlesden are as follows: "12, Aug, 1615 Henry Kemball ye sone of Richard and Vrsula his wife baptized."
  • iii. Elizabeth Kimball2, b. Rattlesden, 1621. There is no record of her marriage. She was alive in 1675.
  • 3 iv. Richard Kimball2, b. Rattlesden, Eng., 1623; d. May 26, 1676, in Wenham, Mass.
  • v. Mary Kimball2, b. Rattlesden, Eng., 1625; m. Robert Dutch of Gloucester and Ipswich, Mass. Mary is wrongly given in many places as the wife of Deacon Thomas Knowlton, historians being misled by her fathers will, as he only mentions the first names of his daughters and does not leave anything to the children of Mary. But in an action for trespass against Richard Kimball, Sr., (in taking a heifer by his grandson Robert Dutch of the yard of Obadiah Wood and detaining the same Mar. 1662), this is shown to be wrong, Robert Dutch, Sr.'s wife was Mary. Savage's Dictionary is wrong in regard to her name. It says she was Mary Roper, daughter of Walter Roper. But Mary Roper was born in 1641. Mary Dutch says in a deposition that she is 36 in 1665, which would give her birth as 1629. Samuel Dutch calls Caleb Kimball2 uncle in deposition in 1664.

He was probably never married, as his estate was divided among his brothers and sisters. Administration was granted to his father Henry and his brother Richard. At the time of his fathers death the estate was still unsettled, and Richard is directed to divide it among the twelve children of Henry. There was due from his estate to his fathers estate, £25, as mentioned in his father's inventory. The total property according to the inventory was £50. Among the assets were 7 weeks' wages due fr. ye contry £12.2s. (Savage wrongly gives the Caleb that was killed at Bloody Brook as the son of Richard. The above notes will serve to show that it was Caleb, the son of Henry, who was killed. Caleb, the son of Richard, had two children born after this date, and did not die until 1682.)

• KEMBALL (Kemble, Kimball).
• The name Kimball, now borne by so many families in this country, is undoubtedly a corruption, or variation of Kemball or Kemble, a common name in England. In the Watertown records it was almost uniformly written Kemball for several generations.
• Embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for N. Eng., Ap. 10, 1634, in the Elizabeth, William Andrews, Master, RICHARD KEMBALL, aged 39, with wife URSULA, and chil., 1. HENRY, aged 15. 2. ELIZABETH, aged 13. 3. RICHARD, aged 11. 4. MARY, aged 9. 5. MARTHA, aged 5. 6. JOHN, aged 3 ; and 7. THOMAS, aged 1 year. He settled first in Watertown, of which he was a proprietor, 1636-7, and was adm. freeman. May 6, 1635. He removed to Ipswich, probably in 1637, as in that year, Feb. 23, a house-lot was then granted to him. His son Richard was also a proprietor of Ipswich, in 1648. It was probably his son, "Henry Kemball, Jr.," who was proprietor of a homestall and 3 other lots in Wat., 1642, and who m., in Wat., Nov. 13, 1650, Sarah Farwell. Richard Kemball, Senior, was probably the ancestor of most of the numerous families of the name of Kimball in New England.
• Also embarked, at the same time, in the same ship, HENRY KEMBALL, aged 44, with wife SUSANNA, aged 35, and chil., 1. ELIZABETH, aged 4 yrs. 2. SUSANNA, aged 18 months, and RICHARD CUTTING, aged 11 years. He was probably an elder brother of Richard Kemball. He settled permanently in Watertown.

He was chosen constable 22 Oct 1669. <ref>Ancestry of Charles Stinson Pillsbury- Mary L. Holman, The Rumford Press, Concord, 1938- Vol. I, p. 73ff</ref> Henry gave several depositions in court, among which was one given 4 mo. (June) 1665, wherein he states "that he never gave Goodman Symonds 5s & 6 pens a day for his boy and his bullockes, nor never did intend it, and sins the last March Corte he came to me and tould me he would take but five shillings."<ref>Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County- Vol. II, p. 11</ref> In 1656 he complained against Thomas Smith of Ipswich on account of Smith's cows destroying his cornabout two weeks before general training and the fence was broken down.

Wives

According to the History of the Kimball Family (1897), Henry Kimball's first wife was Mary, daughter of John and Mary (___) Wyatt who came over on the same ship as the Kimballs.<ref>History of the KimballFamily (1897)p 68; Genealogical & Family History of the State of NH makes the same claim.</ref>
Subsequent research, however, found that John Wyatt's wife had previously been married to Edward Riddlesdale, and that the children who cameover with them on the ship were John Wyatt's step children, not his own, although likely adopted and treated as his own in his will.<ref> "John Wyatt of Ipswich, Massachusetts, and his wife Mary (_____) Riddlesdale," in NEHGS Register 143:213. </ref> This research foundthat the Riddlesdale daughters who were baptized in Assington, England were later identified as the [adopted] children of John Wyatt, who probably had no children of his own. Robert Charles Anderson supports this view in his Great Migration series (2008).

Henry Kimball was married to:# (1640 Mary Riddlesdale (1622-1672), dau of Edward and Mary (____) Riddlesdale, and step/adopted daughter of John Wyatt.# (1672) Elizabeth Gilbert (1617-1676), widow of William Rayner; daughter of Humphrey and Elizabeth (____) Gilbert.

Children

1. The inventory of Henry Kimball's estate (Essex Wills, i. 45) mentioned a debt due from his son Caleb, late deceased.# The inventory of Caleb's estate (i. 36,45) mentioned that administration was granted on 30th 9th mo., 1675 to Henry and Richard Kimball; but on 30 4th mo, 1676, it was noted, "The said Henry [Kimball] being deceased, sole administration is granted to said Richard, who is to payout to each of them when they come of age." There was also somethingdue to Caleb, "to his uncle Richard's estate."# In the files of the probate office, an order of the Court, endorsed on the original inventory of the estate of Henry Kimball, dated September 26, 1676, referring to an agreement between Richard Kimball and John Kimball and their stepmother; adding: "They also are to pay their mother-in-law Elizabeth Kimball 15ls for the bringing up of their younger sister Deborah [Kimball] out of which the said mother is to pay the sd.
