Rev. Nicholas Street (1603 - 1674)

Rev. Nicholas Street was the son of Nicholas Street (1575 - 1617). He was baptized on Jan 29, 1603 in Bridgewater, Somerset, England. He was matriculated at the University of Oxford, Nov. 2, 1621, and is then described as eighteen, and as from Somersetshire. He received the degree of B.A. at Oxford, Feb. 21, 1624/5. It appears that he shipped cattle to New England on the Elizabeth bound from Dartmouth, England in April 1637, it is unclear if he was on the boat as it did carry planters (Coldham, p. 186) About 1638 he was settled at Taunton, MA then part of the Plymouth Colony, as colleague with Rev. William Hooke. He followed Rev. Hooke, a colleague of Rev. John Davenport , to New Haven, where he took the latter's place, Sept. 26, 1659. After Mr. Davenport was called to Boston, Sept. 27, 1667, he had sole charge of the First Church till his own death, April 22, 1674. The will of Benjamin Ling, dated Mar. 25, 1673, leaves a portion of his books to “my worthy friend, Mr. Street, teacher of the church in New Haven.” His first wife is perhaps Anne Poole but there are inconsistencies in the available records. His second wife was Mary Newman (-1683), the widow of Francis Newman (-1660).

Francis Newman held the roles of Secretary, magistrate and Governor of the New Haven Colony. It was at Francis’ brother Robert’s barn that the 1639 New Haven Covenant was signed but Robert returned to England and lived Stratford, Warwick. Mary Newman married William Leete after Nicholas Street died. The will of Nicholas Street was made April 14, 1674. He bequeathed to his wife the estate she brought him in marriage, the life use of the house once belonging to Mr. Hooke, “the church always declaring their willingness thereunto” to son Samuel, to daughters Susannah Mason, Sarah Heaton, and Abijah Shearman, and to grandchildren Samuel Street and Hannah Andrews. It was witnessed by William Trowbridge and Thomas Tuttle. The inventory, taken May 13, 1674, by Nicholas Auger and Thomas Yale, Sr., was 457 pds, 16 shillings.

Nicholas and his first wife had four children:

1. Samuel, born about 1635, died Jan. 17, 1717* in Wallingford. He married Anna Miles (1642-1730) on Nov. 3, 1664* in New Haven. Her father, Richard Miles, was one of the executors of William Ives estate in 1648. Anna’s brothers Samuel and John signed the Wallingford Agreement in 1668. They had seven children, the first three born in New Haven and the last four in Wallingford: Anna (1665-1705), Samuel (1667-1720), Mary (1670-), Susanna (1675-1704), Nicholas (1677-1733), Katherine (1679-), Sarah (1681-1785).
2. Susanna, married George Macey of Taunton, MA.
3. Sarah, married James Heaton (1644?-1712) on Nov. 20, 1662* in New Haven. They had nine children: Nathaniel (1664-1725), Samuel (1667-1690), James (1669-1670), James (1671), Abigail (1673-1731), Seth (1676-1739), Theophilus (1680-1760), Susanna (1680-1736), Anna (1682-).
4. Abiah, married Daniel Sherman (1642?-1716) on Sept. 28, 1664* in New Haven. They had nine children, all born in New Haven: Abigail (1665-1739), daughter (1667), Daniel (1668-1729), Mary (1670-), John (1673-1727), Elizabeth (1676-), Samuel (1679-), Eunice (1682-), Nathaniel (1685-1750).

His father, Nicholas Street, was born on Oct. 6, 1575 in Bridgewater, Somerset, England and his will is dated Feb. 13, 1617 in Taunton, Somerset. He married Susanna Gilbert (1584-?) and they had at least one child: Nicholas (1603-1674). There is a record of the Street family going back two more generations in Somerset, Nicholas (1550-1610 in Taunton), and Richard Street (1518-1592 in Stogumber) but this needs some validation.

A chronology of Rev. Street's life (Julian dates):

• 1603: baptized at Bridgwater, county Somerset, England
• 1621: age 18: matriculated at the University of Oxford
• 1624: age 22: received B.A. degree from Oxford
• ~1637: age 34: arrived at Plymouth Colony, America

He was matriculated at the University of Oxford, Nov. 2, 1621, and is then described as eighteen, and as from Somersetshire. He received the degree of B.A. at Oxford, Feb 21, 1624-5. About 1638 he was settled at Taunton in the Plymouth Colony, now in Massachusetts, as colleague with Rev. William Hooke.

Inasmuch as Hooke had already been ordained in England, and Street received the same rite as Hooke, it is probable that he, too, had been, and that the so-called "ordination" scene in Taunton was rather an installation of these men over that particular church.

Biography

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth ===Nicholas Street, the son of Nicholas Street and Susanna (Gilbert) Street, was baptized at St. Mary's church, Bridgewater, Somerset, England on 29 January 1603/4.<ref name="Baptism"/><ref name="TAG27:11"/>

Education ===Nicholas (described as Nicholas Streete of Somerset, gent.) matriculated at Broadgates Hall at Oxford on 2 November 1621 at the age of 18.<ref name="Oxford4p1435"/><ref name="TAG27:11"/><ref name="Street2-3"/> He received his B.A. from Pembroke College at Oxford on 21 February 1624/5.<ref name="Oxford4p1435"/><ref name="TAG27:11"/><ref name="Street2-3"/>

After a gap of about a decade, Nicholas went to Cambridge and receivedhis M.A. from Emmanuel College in 1636.<ref name="Cambridge4p174"/><ref name="Oxford4p1435"/><ref name="TAG27:11"/> Emmanuel College was originally intended for training Protestant ministers.<ref name="Emmanuel"/>

Residency near Taunton, England ===Nicholas's father's will granted him the "ancient estate in Rowbarton near Taunton & lease of Huntspill."<ref name="NEHGR46p267"/> It seems that Nicholas moved to that estate. According to Robert Charles Anderson's "The Great Migration Directory," Nicholas's last place of residence before he emigrated from England was Norton Fitzwarren,<ref name="GMD"/> which is a village just west of Rowbarton and no doubt the location of the estate that Nicholas had inherited from his father in his will.

First Marriage ===Based on Nicholas's date of baptism (January 1603/4) and the estimateddate of birth of his eldest child (Susanna, about 1629), Nicholas probably married his first wife about 1628. Based on his probable date ofemigration (1637), they were almost certainly married in England. Based on the fact that Nicholas had lived in Bridgewater, Somerset growing up and later lived near Taunton, Somerset, Nicholas and his first wife were very likely married somewhere in Somerset.

As discussed in her profile, the identity of Nicholas' first wife is unknown and there is no reliable evidence that her first name was Alice or that her maiden name as Pool.

Immigration ===According to Robert Charles Anderson's "The Great Migration Directory," Nicholas immigrated to New England in 1637 on the ship Elizabeth.<ref name="GMD"/> This date of immigration is consistent with the fact that Nicholas graduated from Emmanuel College in 1636 and the consensus that he was at what-became Taunton by 1638 or 1639.

Ministry in Taunton, Plymouth Colony ===Nicholas served as minister of the church of Taunton from 1638-9 to November 1659.<ref name="TauntHist176"/> It is reasonably believed by some that he was at least partially responsible for the town being named Taunton in 1639.<ref name="QuarterMillen165"/> His house was on the corner of Spring and Summer Street, two houses down from Mr. Poole's estate. Nicholas sold his property in Taunton for 150 pounds pursuant to a deed made made by his attorneys James Wyatt and George Macye in 1658.<ref name="QuarterMillen256-9"/>

Ministry in New Haven, Connecticut Colony ===In November 1659, Nicholas moved to New Haven in the Connecticut Colony to serve as a colleague with Rev. John Davenport. He was ordained teaching elder there in November 26, 1659.<ref name="TauntHist176"/><refname="Dana47"/> Nicholas was on a committee with Governor Newman, Deputy Governor Treat and Mr. Davenport in 1660 for the establishment of what became the Hopkins School,<ref name="NHRecordsIIp377"/><ref name="Hopkins"/> and, with Mr. Davenport, represented the Colony in 1662 and 1663 in its various disputes with the troublesome Dr. Bray Rossiter.<ref name="NHRecordsIIp455"/><ref name="NHRecordsIIp514"/> After Rev. Davenport removed to Boston in 1668, Nicholas served as the sole minister of the church of New Haven until his death.<ref name="TauntHist176"/><ref name="Dana47"/>

Second Marriage ===Nicholas's unidentified first wife died before or soon after his removal to New Haven. Nicholas married, second, Mary Newman, widow of Gov. Francis Newman of New Haven,<ref name="Street4"/><ref name="TauntHist176"/> who died in November 1660.<ref name="NewmanWiki"/>

Will; Death ===Nicholas made his will on 14 April 1674. In his will, he described himself as "Teacher of ye Church of Christ in New Haven" and made bequests to son Samuel, daughters Susannah Mason (sic; Macey), Sarah Heaton and Abijah Shearman, grandchildren Samuel Street and Hannah Andrews, Sarah Allsup, and his wife (unnamed).
