Biography

Margaret Bourne, daughter of Thomas Bourne and Elizabeth, married Josias, youngest brother of Gov. Edward Winslow, around1636. Josiah Winslow was the son of Edward Winslow (17 Oct 1560-1620) & Magdalen Oliver (ca 1566-aft 1606). Born on 11 Feb 1606 in Droitwich, Worcestershire. Josiah was baptized in Droitwich, Worcestershire, on 16 Feb 1606.16 Josiah died in Dec 1674 in Marshfield, MA. Buried on 1 Dec 1674 in Marshfield, MA.56 “mr Josiah Winslow Sen was Buried the first of December 1674 being in y^e 69 year of his age”.

The six children of Josiah Winslow and Martha Bourne, born at Marshfield, were:

• i. Elizabeth b. 24 Sep 1637, in Marshfield. She was apparently accidentally shot and killed by her eight-yearold brother, Jonathan, in 1646.

• vi. Mary b. ca. 1646; m. John Tracy 10 Jun 1670, in Marshfield and had one daughter

Comments

The origin of the family has not been determined and, as a result, no birth or baptismal record has been definitively associated with her. Trees that state that she was baptized in 1606 in Kempsey, Worcestershire appear to be mistakenly referencing the baptismal record of her husband baptized in Kempsey, Worcestershire, on 15 Feb 1605/6

Notes

Josiah was in Plymouth in 1631.16 He may have arrived on the White Angel at Saco in June 1631. Josiah resided in Scituate, then removed to Marshfield where he served as town clerk from 1646 until his death.

From http://minerdescent.com/2010/07/26/thomas-bourne/

Josiah Winslow's confusion over financial matters apparently held to the last, and the court made void his conditional bequest of house and land to his son Jonathan, as he had already given the property to him at his marriage.   On 1 Mar 1674/75 the court ruled that because he had during his life already given his lands in Marshfield without restriction to his son Jonathan on the latter’s marriage to Ruth, the daughter of Mr. William Sergeant, but in his will left the same lands to Jonathan in fee tail (which basically meant that he could not sell them), that part of the will was void, but the rest would stand (PCR 5:159-60)

• (I) Thomas Bourne, "the eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch on its Eden," who appears at Plymouth in 1637, a freeman of that Colony of Jan. 2, 1638. Judge Savage says he may probably have come from the County of Kent, bringing family. "His home lands were situated adjoining the estates of his sons-in-law, Josiah Winslow, Sr., and Robert Waterman, to whom he gave of his own lands liberally." He was also a large land holder in the south part of the Colony. "He was a man of substance and repute." His wife Elizabeth was buried July 18, 1660, aged seventy years. He was buried May 11, 1664, at the age of eighty-three years. His will, probated June 9, 1664, made his son John right heir and executor, and bequeathed to

Waterman ; Anne, who married Nehemiah Smith ; Margaret, who married Josiah Winslow, brother of Governor Winslow; and Lydia, who married Nathaniel Tilden.
• (II) John Bourne, son of Thomas, born perhaps in England, married July 18, 1645, Alice, daughter of Thomas Besbedge or Besbeech (the second marriage on the town book). Mr. Bourne succeeded to the homestead, which in 1854 and later was in the possession of the then venerable John Bourne, a descendant in the fifth generation of the immigrant Thomas and a Revolutionary patriot who entered the service at the commencement of the struggle and was a prisoner of war when peace was declared; he died in October, 1859, in the 101st year of his age. The children of John and Alice Bourne were: Elizabeth, born in 1646; Thomas, in 1647; Alice, in 1649; Ann, in 1651; Martha, in 1653; Mary, in 1660; and Sarah, in 1663. __________________________
