James MacWithey

James MacRory(Macwithey)

James MacRory (MacWithey) was born about 1630 in Scotland, possibly in the Outer Hebrides. It is believed that James MacRory was a Royalist highlander fighting with the Clan Donald forces under Montrose and General David Leslie against the English forces of Cromwell. The struggle began after the English Puritans executed King Charles in 1649. The highland Scots were in favor of restoring the throne to his son, Charles II, whom they felt to be the rightful king of England and Scotland. This war was called “The War of Restoration.”

The Scots suffered two terrible defeats at the hands of Cromwell’s forces. The first was at the Battle of Dunbar which took place on September 3, 1650 outside the Scottish town of that name. Although the English forces numbered about 11,000 and the Scottish forces numbered over twice than many, the English won a surprising victory. Three thousand Scots were killed in the battle and many were captured. They were forced to march, wounded, weak, and hungry, down into England where they were thrown into prison and eventually dispersed to Ireland, Barbados, Virginia and Massachusetts and sold as indentured servants. A group of approximately 150 of the Dunbar prisoners were loaded on the ship Unity two months later, on November 11, 1650, and sent to Massachusetts, arriving there in early 1651. A list of the prisoners on the Unity has not survived.

The second major crushing defeat for the Scots occurred deep within English territory at the city of Worcester a year after the Battle of Dunbar, on September 3, 1651. Many Scots were killed and prisoners were captured. Three months later, a boatload of these prisoners were dispatched to Thomas Kemble of Charlestown, Massachusetts to be sold as indentured servants. This ship was the John and Sarah, which left England on December 8, 1651 and arrived in Boston by February 24, 1652. Fortunately, a list of these prisoners has survived, albeit some of the names are illegible due to various reasons, including tears in the original document. The name James MacRory does not appear on the John and Sarah list, but there was a Rory Machy on the list as well as an Alester Mackrore. It should be noted that several Scots, whose names are on the John and Sarah list, settled in Dedham at about the same time as James MacRory.

James MacRory appeared on the Dedham, Norfolk County, MA tax list dated February 11, 1661.

In November 1662, James MacRory married Mary Everett in Dedham, the daughter of Richard and Mary (Winch) Everett. She was born on September 28, 1638, and was 24 years old at the time of her marriage. It is not known how old James was, of course, but if he was about 20 or 21 at the time of his capture, he would have been born about 1630, and about 32 at the time of his marriage. Mary Mackerwithey died on 13 JUN 1670, probably from complications resulting from the birth of their daughter Margaret, ten days before. Margaret survived seven days after her mother’s death.

James Mackerwithey then married Patience Cubby on February 20, 1670/1. There is an uncertainty regarding this marriage. There is not a death record for Patience Mackerwithey, nor any marriage record for a third marriage with Experience______, but all subsequent birth records listed Experience Mackerwithey as the mother. The date and place of James and Experience Mackerwithey’s deaths are unknown.

James MacRory (MacWithey or Mackerwithey) was born about 1630 in Scotland. It is thought by some sources that MacRory was a clan name, a minor branch of the Clan Donald. Clan Donald is subdivided into several groups. We were most likely associated with MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. A surname related to the MacRory Clan is MacCuithein, a part of Clan Donald, which seems phonetically close to Mackerwithey, a name James used after arriving in Mass. MacCuithjein or Cuithein is found as Scottish place names. In Kilmuir there is a Baile Mhic Cuithein (MacCuithein township) and on the Isle of North Uist, there is a Cnoc Cuithein. The first records for James were Macarory. The Dedham, Massachusetts church records are Macarory exclusively until 1670, and the town records wavered from Macarory to Mackerwithey until 1685 when Macarory ceased.

It is believed that James MacRory was a Royalist highlander fighting with the Clan Donald forces under Montrose and General David Leslie against the English forces of Cromwell. The struggle began after the English Puritans executed King Charles in 1649. The highland Scots were in favor of restoring the throne to his son, Charles II, whom they felt to be the rightful king of England and Scotland. This war was called "The War of Restoration."

The Scots suffered two terrible defeats at the hands of Cromwell's forces. The first was at the Battle of Dunbar which took place on September 3, 1650 outside the Scottish town of that name. Although the English forces numbered about 11,000 and the Scottish forces numbered over twice that many, the English won a surprising victory. Three thousand Scots were killed in the battle and many were captured. They were forced to march, wounded, weak, and hungry, down into England where they were thrown into prison and eventually dispersed to Ireland, Barbados, Virginia, and Massachusetts and sold as indentured servants. A group of approximately 150 of the Dunbar prisoners were loaded on the ship Unity two months later, on November 11, 1650, and sent to Massachusetts, arriving there in early 1651. A list of the prisoners on the Unity has not survived. The Reverend John Cotten, at Boston, referred to these men in a letter to the Lord General Cromwell on August 28, 1651, "The Scots, whom God delivered unto your hands at Dunbar, and whereof sundry were sent hither, we have been desirous (as we could) to make their yoke easy. Such as were sick of the scurvy or other diseases have not wanted physick and surgery. They have not been sold for slaves to perpetual servitude, but for 6 or 7 or 8 years, as we do our own." Sixty of these men were evidently sent to Lynn to work in the ironworks, another group was sent to Kittery (now Berwick), Main to work in lumbering and sawmills, and the remaining men sold to others at a cost of about 30 pounds each.

he second major crushing defeat for the Scots occurred deep within English territory at the city of Worcester a year after the Battle of Dunbar, on September 3, 1651. Many Scots were killed and prisoners were captured. Three months later, a boatload of these prisoners were dispatched to Thomas Kemble of Charlestown, Massachusetts to be sold as indentured servants. This ship was the John and Sarah, which left England on December 8, 1651 and arrived in Boston by February 24, 1652. Fortunately, a list of these prisoners has survived, albeit some of the names are illegible due to various reasons, including tears in the original document. The English also apparently had difficulty in transcribing highland names spoken by the prisoners in thick Scottish brogue or Gaelic accents and the mangled spelling of the names reflect this. The name James MacRory does not appear on the John and Sarah list, but there was a Rory Machy on the list as well as an Alester Mackrore. It should be noted that several Scots, whose names are on the John and Sarah list, settled in Dedham at about the same time as James MacRory. They were James MacNab, Daniel Makiah, Neil Makiah, William MacCain, James Grant, and John MacIntosh. James MacRory's son, John, married a Johanna MacIntosh, perhaps the daughter of John.

Where or from whom James MacRory served his indenture is not known. Some of the men in this shipment were sent to the Saugus Iron Works, some were consigned to Thomas Kemble, a lumber merchant in New Hampshire, and others were indentured in and around the Boston area and outlying towns. More than likely, our James served his indenture in Boston or in one of the surrounding towns. It is not surprising that his name would not appear in early records since he would not have been a church member nor allowed to marry or hold land until the end of his indenture.

In the book, A New England Town - The First 100 Years, Kenneth A. Lockridge mentions a group of Scots who came to Dedham, "Thus a group of 6-8 Scotsmen settled in the 1660's without subscribing to the covenant. They were not warned out; They paid taxes, worked and even married in the community just as any townsmen, but they were, by implication, second class citizens." (P.81)

James MacRory first appeared on the Dedham, Norfolk County, MA tax list dated 11 Feb 1661. The Scots suffered 2 terrible defeats at the hands of Cromwell's forces. Many were killed and prisoners were captured. On December 8, 1651, the ship John and Sarah left England with a boatload of prisoners to be sold as indentured servants. It arrived in Boston by Feb. 24, 1652. It seems likely that James was aboard, but there is no evidence where he served his indenture. Several Scotsmen did come to Dedham in the 1660's in such a way. He married there in November 1662.

He married Mary Everett, daughter of Richard Everett and Mary, in Nov 1662 in Dedham, Massachusetts. She died on 13 June 1670 in Dedham. He then married Experience or Patience Cubby on 20 Feb 1671.
