from AMERICA'S FIRST FAMILIES:

"Investigation in 1986 by a professional genealogist in England showed that Richard PETINGALE was baptized in Shotesham All Saints parish, Norfolk, England on 6 Jan 1610/11 to Mathew PETINGALE and his second wife, Mary COOKE. Richard was the second son born to Mathew PETINGALE. Richard?s older brother, Robert, remained in England, while, Richard decided to go to New England. Richard was not in line to inherit his father?s land as the second son. This was also a period of heavy war taxation, economic depression, overpopulation, war with France and Spain and the determination of the government to force the Puritans to conform to the Established Church. Passengers that could not pay for their passage became indentured servants or apprentices to obtain passage."

"According to an article in the journal 'Americana' on board the ship 'Lion?s Whelp' was a passenger listed as Richard PENGIL, arriving in Newbury on 29 June 1629. Richard PENGIL is believed to be Richard PETTINGELL although the Norfolk county emigrations or shipping records are incomplete for that time period."

"Richard was a member of the First Church of Salem in 1637. On June 2, 1641 he was made a freeman upon the recommendation by his minister, being over 20 years of age and worth at least 200 pounds in real or personal property. He had a grant of 10 acres at Enon (Wenham) in 1642 and was a witness to the will of Samuel SMITH of Enon in December of that year. He soon married Joanna INGERSOLL, (no record found), daughter of Richard INGERSOLL of Salem who named him as one of his sons-in-law in his will of 1644."

"Richard was still a member of Salem church when on July 7, 1644, he and his brother-in-law, John INGERSOLL, were appointed to arrest Sabbath day violators. His first child, Samuel, was baptized at Salem on 9 Feb 1644. He was constable of Wenham in 1648 and in that year he was a witness against George NORTON for scandalizing the church. Matthew, his second child was born about 1648 in Enon. After Wenham had a church, Richard was received by letter from Salem on Aug. 4, 1649."

"In 1651, having sold his house and land in Wenham to Samuel FORESTER, Richard bought a tract of land in the plantation of Newbury, about 15 miles north of Wenham, on the High Road, near "The Upper Green." The town gave him 14 acres of marsh in 1651 in exchange for a right-of-way on Ocean Avenue or Rolfe?s Lane. Later the town committee to settle a land dispute with John EMERY granted him an island in Plum Island River near Sandy Beach. He was chosen as a trial juryman in 1654 and 1671 and a grand juryman in 1658, 1665, and 1672. He took the Oath of Allegiance in 1678."

"In King Philips War Richard supplied for the troops cheese, a pair of bandoleers, bullets, a pound of powder and a worm, a horse for 20 weeks, a knapsack, and a saddle and bridle. He asked 5 shillings for curing a horse as well."

"Richard PETTINGELL did not make a will but divided his houses and lands between his three sons by deeds. On July 15, 1695, he granted to his son Matthew the two acres on which he lived, several other small acreages and one-third interest in the third of the farm of 70 acres in Salem which his father-in-law, Richard INGERSOLL, had conditionally willed to him. Two days later, on July 17, he granted to his son Samuel the upland where Samuel dwelt and other small lots, but the one third of one third of the INGERSOLL farm was to go to Samuel?s son Samuel. On the same day his own homestead of five acres and other small lots went to his youngest son Nathaniel together with a third of a third of the INGERSOLL farm in Salem. He died soon afterwards."

The children of Richard PETTINGELL and Joanna INGERSOLL were.

from Davis' MASSACHUSETTS AND MAINE FAMILIES:

Settled at Salem, Massachusetts, before 1641, admitted freeman2 June 1641. He had a grant of 10 acres at Enon (now Wenham), Massachusetts in 1642 and was a witness to the will of Samuel Smith of Enon in December of that year. He soon married Joanna Ingersoll, daughter of Richard Ingersoll of Salem who names him as one of his sons-in-law in his will of 1644. He was still a member of Salem church when on 7 July 1644, he and his brother-in-law John Ingersoll were appointed "to walke forth in the time of Gods worshippe to take notice of such as either lye at home or in the fields without giving good account thereof" and report them to the magistrates. This duty fell to them on every seventh Sunday from the date of the order. He was constable of Wenham in 1648, and in that year he was a witness against George Norton for "scandalizing" the church. After Wenham had a church Pettingill was received by letter from that of Salem on 4 August 1649.

In 1651, having sold his Wenham house and land to Samuel Foster, Pettingill moved to Newbury where he obtained various grants of land. He was chosen by Newbury as a trial juryman in 1654 and 1671 and grand juryman in 1658, 1665 and 1672. He took the Oath of Allegiance in 1678. In 1654 he, regrettably, acknowledged that he was sorry that he had signed the petition to the General Court in favor of Lieut. Robert Pike. His first judgement was the better.

In 1669 Pettingill, aged about 45, deposed in the case of Ingerson v. Barney that John Knight came home to Newbury and told his wife (Joanna Pettingill's mother) that he had sold to Mr. Pain some timber on the lot at Frost Fish river. She was much troubled and asked him why he had sold her timber, whereupon Knight said that she should have 20s. for it and acknowledged that he had no right in the land. [Records and Files, IV:111].

During the PArker-Woodman controversy which rocked Newbury in 1671 Nicholas Noyes said that he had heard Richard Pettingill say that he had had dismission from the Salem to the Newbury church. It was decided that, although Richard was listed as a member of the Newbury church, he was not so. "richard petinggill never desmision from Salem." The Wenham church was ignored. [Records and Files, IV:357, 360-362].

A most interesting deposition is that of 14 October 1673. Pettingill, aged about 52, said "I being very well acquainted with Giles Fuller of Hampton, deceased, + with Mrs. Fuller of Bastable [Barnstable], doctor, both in old England + here in new england + both told mee they were of Kinn : + ye sd Giles Fuller have told me in old England + new that Marth. Fuller Doctor now of Barnstable was ye nearest kinsman he had." [Records and Files, V:244]. Dr. Matthew Fuller was a son of Edward Fuller who was a Mayflower passenger, and followed his father to Plymouth. The Fullers were from Redenhall, co. Norfolk. [Register, 55:102].

In King Philip's War Richard supplied for the troops cheese at 19s., a pair of bandoleers 3s., bullets 6d., a pound of powder and a worm 2s., a horse for 20 weeks 30s., a knapsack 2s. 6d., a saddle and bridle 22s. He asked 5s. for curing a horse. [Records and Files, VI:448, 449, 454].

Richard Pettingill did not make a will but divided his houses and lands between his three "loving and dutiful" sons by deeds. On July 15, 1695, he granted to his son Matthew the two acres on which Matthew then dwelt, several other small acreages, and a one-third interest in the third of the farm of 70 acres in Salem which his father-in-law Richard Ingersoll had conditionally willed to him. Two days later, on July 17, he granted to his son Samuel the upland where Samuel then dwelt and similar small lots, but the one third of one third of the Ingersoll farm was to go to the grantor's grandson, Samuel's son Samuel. On the same day his own homestead of five acres and other small lots went to his youngest son Nathaniel together with a third of a third of the Ingersoll farm in Salem. [Essex Deeds, 10:184; 13:33; 14:282].
