Palmer Tingley

PALMER TINGLEY, of Ipswich, MA, born in 1614, miller, age 21 years, came from Kingston-on-Thames, England, sailed on ship Planter, from Port of London, April 8, 1635. He was in Ipswich in 1639, when he received a grant of eight acres in reward for his services in the war against the Pequot Indians in 1637. No record can be found of his death or marriage. He is claimed as the husband of Anna Fosdick, because he is the only person of the name Tingley living in the Colonies at that time of suitable age to be her husband. He brought with him a certificate from the minister of Kingston-on-Thames, stating that he was no subsidy man, and testifying to his conformity.

He is supposed to have married, between 1635-1638, Anna or Hannah, daughter of Stephen Fosdick of Charlestown, MA, who came from Lincolnshire, England, to Charlestown, MA, in 1635 with his children and his second wife, Sarah Wetherell. Anna was born in 1615 and died in 1681. She married for her second husband, James Barrett, of Charlestown. She had by him seven children but only six are given here: James, Mary (Mrs. John Ross), Hannah (Mrs. John Scolley), Stephen, John and Sarah (Mrs. Simon Grover). Hannah Barrett's will states that she bequeathed to her grandchildren, Samuel and Thomas Tingley, and to her daughter Hannah Scolley's two children, etc.

Research Notes

Regarding Palmer Tingley of Ipswich, Massachusetts, Tingley says, "No record can be found of his...marriage. He is claimed as the husband of Anna Fosdick, because he is the only person of the name of Tingle living in the Colonies at that time of suitable age to be her husband."[6]R. C. Anderson in "Great Migration" says of this record: "While there is no evidence to disprove this statement, neither is there sufficient evidence to accept it, especially given the propensity of this author for inventing genealogical connections." Anderson says there is no marriage, nor any children recorded for Palmer Tingley.[4]Anderson goes on to say that Hannah Fosdick's marriage to Palmer Tingley "may be so, but her husband may just as well have been some other totally unrecorded man of that surname."[1]

concerns

This Palmer reportedly was born about 21 years after the death of his attached mother; either her date of death is incorrect, or this Palmer's date of birth is incorrect, or he was not her son. Further research is warranted.

Among the passengers on the " Planter " from London for New England, in April, 1635, was Palmer Tingley, described as a " miller," aged twenty-one years, who produced a certificate from the minister of Kingston-upon-Thames, that he was no subsidy man, and testifying to his conformity. Palmer Tingley was in Ipswich, Mass., in 1639 when he received a grant of eight acres in reward for service in the war against the Pequod Indians in 1637. Beyond this mention on the Ipswich Town Records, nothing is known of his career in New England. The name does not appear on the probate or land record indexes of Essex County, Ipswich series, or old Norfolk County. Suffolk files are also silent.

The widow, Anna Barrett, of Charlestown, in her will dated 2gth April, proved 20 June, 1681, names her "grand children, Samuel and Thomas Tingle," sons of Samuel Tingle or Ting- ley, by Elizabeth Call.

Anna Barrett was the wife of James Barrett. He was born about 1615; died 16 Aug., 1672,and was an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1643. She was probably the mother of his children, of whom the eldest was born 6 April, 1644. The father of Anna Barrett was Stephen Fosdick, an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1635, and a carpenter. He died 21 May, 1664. He bequeathed £10 to Hannah Barrett. As his daughter Anna or Hannah was aged fifty years in 1665, she would have been of marriageable age in 1635, when Palmer Tingley arrived in this country, and may have lived with him several years before 1643, tne probable date of her marriage with Barrett.

1. Tingley married Anna Fosdick probably between 1635 and 1640. After his death, date and place unknown, she married, second, James Barrett, of Charlestown, and died in 1681, leaving children by both husbands.
