• Francis Willoughby, who came to New-England in 1638, with his wife Mary and young son Jonathan, is alluded to by Hutchinson as "a gentleman from England ;" he was a son of William Willoughby, who, we learn from Winthrop, "was a Colonel of the City," i. e. of London ; while from other sources* we learn that he was a native of Kent, and had been for time commander of a vessel. This latter person appears to be identical with William Willoughby, who was a purveyor for ship-timber in co. Sussex, as early as 1628. ..... In April, 1636, he, together with John Taylor, sent in a proposition to the Board of Admiralty, for the raising of the Ann Royal, which, with all her ordnance and provisions, had recently sunk off the mouth of the Thames, and he is alluded to, immediately after, as one of the chief shipwrights engaged in the undertaking.

• .... July 11, 1651, it was reported to the House by Mr. Bond, from the Council of State, that Col. Willoughby was lately dead,* and that they recommended Capt Robert Moulton, senior, in his place ; whereupon Moulton was appointed. At the same time it was referred to the Council of State to make payments to Col. Willoughby "of his monies ; which with great willingness and good affection, he laid out for defence of the river of Thames, in the time of the insurrections of Kent and Essex ; and of other monies due to him from the State."
• The Colonel's widow, Elizabeth Willoughby, left a will, dated London, May, 1662, mentioning her late son William (ob. s. p.) ; the six children of her son Francis, of whom Sarah was then the only daughter ; and her sisters, Mrs. Jane Hammond of Virginia, and Anna, wife of William Griffin of Portsmouth. Mrs. Hammond's son Lawrence was the same person who, as Capt. Lawrence Hammond, was located in Charlestown, Mass. Colony, whose third wife was Margaret, widow of Dept. Gov. Francis Willoughby (his cousin), and whose eldest son was Francis Hammond.

• The original will of Mrs. Willoughby, sent out from England, was identified by her son Francis, 23 : (12) : 1662, at Charlestown, and filed 2 : 2 : 1663. A seal, attached to the signature, bears a chevron engrailed between three boars' heads.
• Concerning the son Francis Willoughby, much of interest may be found in Frothingham's History of Charlestown. Coming to New-England as we have stated, in 1688, with his wife Mary and infant son Jonathan, he was admitted an inhabitant Aug. 22, and joined the church during the following year (Oct. 10), from which time forward, till his death, .... etc.

• Soon after this Mr. Willoughby left England, taking with him a third wife, Margaret, whom he had there married; he appears to have been again present in the Colony by May, 1662, and sat as an assistant at the general court, held Oct. 20, 1663; was again chosen the succeeding year; became deputy governor, May, 1665, and so continued until his decease. ....
• The original will of the deputy governor does not appear on file. This will, drawn up June 4, 1670, and witnessed by Capt. Lawrence Hammond and Lawrence Dowse, was proved April 10, 1671, six days after the testator's decease. He states therein that the legacies left to his children, Jonathan, Sarah and Nehemiah, by their grandfather Willoughby, had been paid, and desires that his mother's will, which had not yet been carried out, might be made good. To his wife, who had brought a considerable estate with her, he bequeathed all household goods, plate and jewels, which had formerly belonged to her, or which had been given to her before or since marriage. To his eldest son Jonathan 10?. and some wearing apparel, and to each of his living children 5?., for that said son "hath cost me much money both in breeding up and several other ways, to the value of near a treble portion already, and for other serious and deliberate considerations, which I am not willing here to mention, it being a grief of soul to me that he should run out an estate so unprofitably as he hath done to his present suffering, &c. &c." After deducting all legacies and debts the testator leaves 14/32 of the residue of his estate to his wife ; 8/32 to his son Nehemiah, including what had already been paid in 1669 : to the other children, when of age, 3/32 to son William ; 5/32 to son Francis; 4/32 to daughter Susannah, and 3/32 to child still unborn. To eldest daughter Campfield as a token of love 10?., she having already received a liberal portion ; .... etc.

• The widow Margaret Willoughby married, Feb. 8, 1675, Capt Lawrence Hammond, of Charlestown, the cousin of her late husband ; she was his third wife (though he had no children by this marriage), and died Feb. 2, 1683. Her will, signed Aug. 21, 1680, and proved April 12, 1683, leaves one-half of the property, left her by her former husband, to her present husband Capt. Hammond, the balance to her only child Susannah Willoughby ; to her sister Elizabeth Lock 100?. due testator out of rente in England; the residue of her estate in Old and New-England to her daughter aforesaid, commiting her and her portion to the care and protection of her father-in-law Capt.

• Daniel Taylor speaks of her in his will, dated about six months after their marriage, as his "loving and dear wife." He confirms the settlement he had already made upon her for life of certain lands called Alton Park, Feverells, and Pettison's, in Little and Great Clackton in the county of Essex. He also gives her all his fee-farm rents in the County of Chester, during her life, his household furniture, and £40 in money. He also mentions that, before their marriage, he had given her a Necklace of Pearls, a Gold Watch, a ring set with Diamonds, etc., and that he had since bestowed upon her another "Ring with about eight Diamonds." He left a large amount of landed and other property. He was buried April 24, 1655. 23

• All that we can learn of our ancestress Mrs. Margaret Willoughby combines to give a very agreeable impression of her character and environment. Her whole history shows that she had a very loving and loveable nature, and great personal attraction. Perhaps she owed to her Spanish great grandmother Cattarina de Gallegos, a lady of noble extraction, some foreign charm of elegance and distinction. Descended from old heraldic families through both her father and her mother, who gave her a good portion, she married (when quite young, probably) Daniel Taylor Esq., a gentleman of good family-position and estate, who died in 1655, a few months after their marriage, after having dealt generously with his "loving and dear wife" both previous to their marriage and in the jointure he provided for her in his Will. After his death, she seems to have returned to her father's house, till, about three years later she married Francis Willoughby Esq., during his official career in England. Her descendants have the best of evidence that she filled satisfactorily her place in his family. Her mother-in-law, living with abundant means in London, left her old home there to come to America with her son Francis, to spend the rest of her days with him and his wife — her "daughter Margaret," — as she calls her in her Will. The Deputy-Governor, in his Will, confirms to his wife the right to all his mother gave her. His own love and tenderness toward his wife underlie all the provisions of his Will and overflow whenever he speaks of her. He tries to protect her against any possible annoyances
• https://archive.org/stream/familyhistoriesg12sali#page/556/mode/1up
• from his wayward son Jonathan, and all disputes about his property, bequeathing to her nearly half his estate, in addition to what he had already given her ; confirming to her her own personal articles of value which she had brought with her, and those that she had received from himself, or from his mother, or from any other person ; which articles she was to designate, he "having that confidence in her that she would not challenge the least thing that she hath not right unto." What a tribute to the delicate honor of a woman called upon to divide between herself and her own children on one side, and step-children on the other ! Having done all that was possible in his lifetime for his "loving and beloved wife," he made her sole executrix of his Will, and commended her to four of his "loveing friends" whom he made overseers of his Will, one of whom was his cousin and intimate friend Lawrence Hammond, "earnestly entreating them that, as they did ever manifest any affection and respect for" him "that they would manifest the like to" his "wife in all that assistance that she shall stand in need of; she being a stranger in the Country, and not knowing whome to apply [to] for help in case of need," and gave a special legacy to Hammond "provided he deale respectively with" his "wife and assist her about settling" his "estate."
• When the Deputy-Governor died, his children by former wives were : Jonathan, and Mrs. Sarah Campfield (both no longer at home) ; Nehemiah, then aged twenty-seven, who probably remained in his step-mother's house till his own marriage the next year ; William, aged about nineteen ; and Mrs. Willoughby's own children were : Francis, about twelve, and Susannah, about seven years of age. She being left with such a family, Hammond could most fully and faithfully accept the trust confided to him by becoming her husband, and the father of her Willoughby children. She had already known him well as her husband's nearest relative, and she could trustfully give herself and her children into his care ; which she did between three and four years after the death of the Deputy-Governor. Capt. Lawrence Hammond's Diary contains this record :
• https://archive.org/stream/familyhistoriesg12sali#page/557/mode/1up
• "I was marryed in Charlestowne to Mrs Margaret Willoughby, widow of Francis Willoughby Esq., on ye 8th day of February 1674/5, who dyed of a feaver on ye 2nd day of February 1682/3. By my wife Margaret I had no child."

• .... Though married four times, at his death, which took place 25 July, 1699, he left but one child, Abigail, who was then the wife of James Whippo of Barnstable, though a former husband had been Luke Greenough. In 1681 Mr. and Mrs. Hammond were living on the Wm Stevens farm at Gloucester [a tract of five hundred acres which she received from Gov. Willoughby]. She died 2 February, 1683, and was buried on the 6th."
