Thomas Carter (minister)

The Rev. Thomas Carter (1608 – 5 September 1684) was a Puritan minister who was ordained in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1642.

Carter was born in Hinderclay, Suffolk, England, and baptized there on 3 July 1608. His father was James Carter, who was buried 3 May 1625. He had an older brother, James, baptized 14 June 1603, and an older sister, Mary, baptized 25 March 1605 or 1606. He studied at St John's College, Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1630 and his M.A. in 1633.[1] Carter was a student at Cambridge at the same time as John Harvard, and the two probably knew each other there. Like Harvard and many other Puritans, Carter immigrated to New England as part of the Great Migration, becoming a freeman of Dedham, Massachusetts in 1637. Carter was active in the church, both at Dedham, and at Watertown, Massachusetts, where he served as an elder.

Having demonstrated spiritual gifts during his time as an elder, on November 22, 1642, Carter was ordained at Woburn, Massachusetts and he became the pastor of the Woburn congregation.

In 1638, Carter married Mary Parkhurst (1614–1687), daughter of George Parkhurst and Phoebe Leete, whose cousin William Leete became Governor of the Colony of Connecticut. Together, they had eight children: Samuel, Judith, Theopilus, Mary, Abigail, Deborah, Timothy, and Thomas.

A painting by Albert Thompson depicting the occasion of his ordination is currently displayed at the Woburn Public Library. His ordination, as the painting suggests, included all of the major ministers of Massachusetts, including John Cotton, Richard Mather, John Eliot, Edward Johnson, John Wilson, with Increase Nowell sitting in the front row.

The birthplace and the parentage of the Rev. Thomas1 Carter, first minister of Woburn, Mass., cannot be stated with certainty, but there is no reasonable doubt that he was a native of Suffolk County, England, and there is ground for the belief that he was the son of James Carter, yeoman, of Hinderclay, Suffolk County, whose will, dated August, 1625, proved Oct. 1, 1625, is on file at Bury St. Edmunds.

Thomas Carter was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, England, from which he obtained his degree in 1629. After his arrival in America, he settled first in Dedham, MA, where he was a proprietor 25 April 1637. He next moved to Watertown, MA, and was made "freeman" 21 May 1638. At some point in time, he bought land in Cambridge, MA, which he sold 18 August 1643.

He became the first minister of the church in Woburn, MA, being ordained there 22 November 1642, and was a much honored pastor, "doing much to shape the character of the growing town."

The sons Samuel, Timothy, and Thomas and their mother signed an agreement to abide by the will.

Was matriculated a sizar of St. John's College, Cambridge University, April 1, 1626.

January, 1629/30: Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. John's College, Cambridge, England

1633: Master of Arts Degree from St. John's College, Cambridge, England

In Williston's book: "I, Thomas Carter, of Suffolk, am admitted as a student of this College on the Spalding scholarship." (Founded by William Spalding, yeoman, of Tainswarth, in Suffolk, who gave 60 pounds, and stipulated that the scholar must be chosen from Bury St Edmunds Grammar School, which was founded by Edward VI in 1550.) Handwriting samples from St. John's records and from known work of Thomas Carter later in MA suggest the same hand wrote all.

1635: Emigrated on ship "The Safety", Thomas Carter 25. Source 1: "The Complete Book of Emigrants" Also found in Williston's "Carter" in Woburn library. Both sources dispute "The Planter" emigre as being Rev. Thomas Carter (there were several Thomas Carters in the MA area at this time.) However, Virkus has him emigrating on "Planter" to Dedham, MA in 1635 as does "Historical Record of Town of Meriden, CT - 1906, Vol II, p 430, and Burke's, p2605., all of which state that he sailed incognito, posing as a servant until he reached New England and could be declared as a freeman.

Was related to John Carter, 22, who emigrated on same ship. John went to VA and is believed to have been the founder of the Carter family of VA. Early descendants of Thomas used the same coat of arms as did the VA Carters. John was a strong supporter of the Church of England while Thomas was a Puritan. Source: Burke, Sir John Bernard, "American Families with British Ancestry", p 2605.

Torrey's: A Thomas Carter married a Mary Parkhurst before 1640 in Woburn/Charleston area listed as 1610-1684 in Torrey's. Also Torrey has Timothy Dalton marrying Ruth Parkhurst, so Ruth may have been sister to Mary, Also there is a Mary Dalton, born 1582, Ipswich, father George Dalton - mother Phebe - but no other information. There is still another Mary Parkhurst Dalton b 1588 with spouseless relationship and one daughter with surname Carter (Hannah Carter).

Williston's: "Mr. Carter is admitted a freeman of Dedham, MA, March 9, 1636/7 (April 25, 1637 O. S.), being "presented" by Philemon Dalton (Dedham Records).

September 27, 1642: Woburn, MA is incorporated: "Charlestowne Village is called Woburn."

November 22, 1642: Ordained first minister, Woburn MA Church

(See scrapbook: Albert Thompson's painting of Carter's ordination.) Ordination of Rev. Thomas Carter, Woburn, MA, November 22, O. S., 1642

Seated on the bench with his hat beside him is Increase Nowell, Magistrate from Charlestown. The others are members of the Church.

Rev. Thomas-1 Carter, b abt 1610 probably at Hertfordshire, near St. Albans England, having received his degrees at St. John's College in 1629 and 1633; resided in Dedham and Watertown MA, and was ordained minister of Woburn, Nov 22, 1642, and died there 5 Sep 1684, aged 84. His wife's name was Mary, and she was probably Mary Parkhurst, the daughter of George Parkhurst Sr. of Watertown and Boston MA and his first wife Phebe. If so she was baptized in Ipswich MA 28 August 1614. Rev. Carter's wife Mary died at Woburn MA28 March 1687. [See a possible ancestry of Rev. Carter] Children of Rev. Thomas & Mary (?)

________________________ Manifest Ship Planter

Planter 1635

Founders of New England: Records of Ships Passenger Lists from England to New England between 1620 and 1640. This set of ships passenger lists includes ships to Virginia (a catch-all phrase to mean almost anywhere along the coast), Barbadoes, Bermuda, West Indies and of course New England Lorine's Note: This set of records consists of various passenger lists, names of individuals ready to sail to New England, and names of those taking the Oath of Allegiance (in preparation for sailing). It is not always obvious when each ship left. Researchers will have to determine whether or not a ship made more than one sailing each year it is mentioned. The original spelling has been maintained, so you will see "Landen" for "London", etc. Note that common words found are "uxor" meaning "wife", "mr" for "Master" (of the ship) Finding the names: You can browse each list, starting with the one below (scroll down). To browse the passenger lists of all ships I have online for this 20 year period to New England see the list of all known ships that made the voyage. I hope to find passenger lists for every ship on the list, so if you have a ship list, please consider donating it to Olive Tree. Transcriber: Laura Freeman
