notes

Owned Careswell, or Kerswell in Kempsey parish. There was the old family farmhouse where Kenelm lived from 1560 to 1605, when he sold it to Sir John Buck. He died two years later. It is clear from his will that he owned land at Kempsey, and that he had two houses which he let on lease when he went to reside with his wife Katherine in Worcester. The rent of the smaller house was 23/8 per annum, and the other, which must have been a good large house, where Kenelm had formerly lived, produced a rental of £13, a very good sum in those days. It is probable that the larger house was in the little hamlet of Clifton which lies between Kempsey and Severn Stoke, because the next certain date we possess at the moment is 1613.

ancestry

gleaned From Fleming Family History

He was said to have been " of an old Worcester County family from Droitwich, England (MD XXIX 122), which had existed in Worcestershire since before 1500 (BK 98)."

"And grandfather Kenelm Winslow can also be found in the tax records of Kempsey, co. Worchester, taxed 8 shillings in 1594, 1598, 1599, and 1600. "

"As to the parentage of the earlier Kenelm Winslow there is some uncertainty; he seems to have been named in honor of one Kenelm Bucke of Nash in the parish of Kempsey, who nuncupative will5, dated 20 Aug. 1547 and proved in 1550, named a daughter Mary, to receive "such portion as his executor shall think necessary at his discretion."

This Kenelm Bucke's son and heir was Francis Bucke, of Kempsey, whose will made in 1580 and proved the following year, was witnessed by John Winslow; in it the testator named his son John Bucke, supposedly he who bought Kereswell from Kenelm Winslow as stated above."

"He is now thought to have been born about 1551; seemingly he is that Kenelm Winslow of the city of Worcester who was born about 1551 and died testate in 1607, his will called him of the parish of St. Andrew in Worcester and referring to his eldest son, other children, and grandchildren, but without naming them, and appointing his wife Katherine executrix.

Note, however, that the above supposition would have made him 9 years old when his son Edward was born. Another theory is that the Kenelm Winslow mentioned above was really a brother to Edward Winslow, not his father.

"If we accept the evidence that Kenelm was the given name of Kenelm Winslow?s maternal grandfather, then Kenelm was already a family name in the Winslow family. If Kenelm Winslow, born ca. 1551, and Edward Winslow, born 17 Oct. 1560 (father of the colonists) were brothers, then Edward named a son Kenelm after his brother Kenelm or his grandfather Kenelm. He not only have a chronology that harmonizes with hitherto accepted data, but the colonist Edward becomes one generation closer to his relatives, the Grevilles".

"D. Kenelm Winslow, in Mayflower Heritage, identifies Thomas as Kenelm?s father, on the basis of his study of parish registers, manorial records, land evidences, and the like. Hunt, for unstated reasons, apparently agreed. Details remain unpublished - a most unsatisfactory state of affairs."
