Fortune Ship Passenger List includes Richard Hicks

Robert Hicks (Hix) – Born about 1570. In 1616 he was a fellmonger (hide dealer) residing in Southwark, London. Married, but arrived as a single man as had only one lot in the 1623 land division as “Robart Hickes.” Member of the 1626 Purchaser investment group as “Robte. Hicks.” His wife Margaret and two children arrived on the Anne in 1623. In the 1627 cattle division the “Hickes” family, Robert and “Margret,”appear with their four children. He died in 1647.[21]

The voyage

The 1621 voyage of the Fortune was the second English ship sent out to Plymouth Colony by the Merchant Adventurers investment group, which had also financed the 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship Mayflower. The Fortune was 1/3 the size of the Mayflower, displacing 55 tons. The Master was Thomas Barton. She departed London in the fall of 1621 and arrived off Cape Cod on November 9, 1621, and arrived in Plymouth Bay by the end of the month. The ship only stayed at Plymouth about three weeks loading cargo, and departed for England on December 13, 1621. About January 19, 1622, due to a navigation error, Fortune was overtaken and seized by a French warship, with those on board being held under guard in France for about a month and with its cargo taken. Fortune finally arrived back in the Thames on February 17, 1622.[1][2][3]

Passenger count

The identification of passengers comes largely from the 1623 Division of Land list and its distribution of lots as transcribed by William Bradford. From that list comes the following Fortune passenger list comprised from the works of authors Charles Banks and Edward Stratton based on their research as well as author Caleb Johnson with his information based directly on the 1623 Division of Land. Author Edward Stratton also has the list as written by Bradford in the language/spelling of the time. There are children listed here which were most likely not part of the original passenger count of 35. A number of persons listed in 1623 do not appear in the 1627 Division of Cattle list and this may be due to death, removal to an area outside the colony or a return to England.[4]

Additionally, 15 of those men (of 58 total) were included in a historic 1626 agreement regarding Mayflower and other debts owed by the colony to the Merchant Adventurers which were reorganized and taken over largely by the colony itself under a creditor group known as the “Purchasers” . In 1627 the debts and shares in the company were assigned in to 8 Plymouth colony leaders and 4 Merchant Adventurers, all known as “Undertakers.” Those 15 Purchasers are identified on the passenger list.

And although Bradford notes that thirty-five persons were on Fortune, only the names of twenty-eight persons are listed as receiving lots in 1623. Eighteen persons are known to have been unmarried, eight married but emigrating without their families, and as far as can be determined, Mrs. Martha Ford and Elizabeth Bassett wife of William Bassett were the only women on the ship. Records indicate that sixteen of the passengers were from the London area and three from Leiden. The origins of ten passengers could not be determined.[5][6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passengers_of_1621_Fortune_voyage ______________________________________________________________________________________

He was deputy to the colony court about 1650 and 1652, town treasurer of Eastham from 1646 to 1665, selectman in 1665 and afterwards, and was licensed as merchant in 1657. He died in Eastham in 1678. He married a daughter of Robert Hicks, whose wife and children came in the "Anne" in 1623. Her name was Lydia, and she bore him one son John.

Notes !Initial source: Family group sheet of Robert Hicks and Elizabeth Morgan in the FGRA collection of the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, submitted by Eva D. Nebeker, of Pocatello, Idaho.

Her sources:

• 1. Hicks (Hix) Rec. B13 C19 pp 360, 361. It was adjusted for Thyrle N. Stapley by Charles Stapley Fam. c/o Gladys J. Bushby , Rt#1, Box 386, Mesa, AZ. Note at the bottom of the sheet says children no. 3, 4, 5 added by Grace R. Johnson, San Luis Obispo, Cal.
• 2. A family group sheet of Robert Hicks and Margaret Winslow from the same collection submitted by Elsie Geneva Pace, Delta, Utah, compiled from "The Hicks Family" by Grace C. Toler pg 67-70; will of Margaret Winslow 1665 (A2D2 - Snow Estes Anc.) V. 1 pg 168-176), and "Col. Fam. of Amer." (Am 190) V. 18 pg 46-50, V. 8 pg 329, 330, Bital pg 1372.

The first sheet showed Robert Hicks born 1583, Southwark, London, Eng., son of James Hicks and Phebe Allyne, died 24 Mar 1647, married (1) 1600, London, Mddlsx, Engl, to Elizabeth Morgan, (LDS proxy sealing 14 May 1953 IFALL), b. abt 1585 of Eng.; died 1607, Southwark, London, Eng., daughter of John Morgan.

The second sheet has the same data, married (2) 1610, Margaret Winslow, born abt 1589, of Southwark, daughter of Edward Winslow and Magdalene Ollyver, wd (will dated) 1665 Plymouth.

"Snow-Estes Ancestry", by Nora E. Snow, 1939, gives both wills in full. His, dated 28 May 1745. It names wife, Margaret.

"Windecker-Gross and Allied Families" from "Americana" (973 B2a, 1942) also gives him two wives, quotes his and Margaret's wills, filed at Plymouth, Mass. It says the family moved to Duxbury, Massachusetts, as in 1642 two of his sons, John and Stephen, left his home and went to Long Island. (No source was given for this information and neither John nor Stephen are named in either will. Also, the will, dated 1645, says Robert was of Plymouth. (See further.)

An article in "THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST", vol. 51 pg 57, by Robert S. Wakefield, says: "Although some writers credit Robert Hicks with two wives, no burial of a first wife was found in Bermondsey, and I do not know of any evidence that would prove he had any wife other than Margaret."

"The Great Migration Begins", also by Robert S. Wakefield and published in 1995, names only one wife, Margaret _____. It says "Death: Plymouth 24 May 1647 (from inventory). (Savage and Pope both give this date as 24 March, apparently based on the abstract of the inventory published in 1850 [NEHGR 4:282]. On the original the month of death is in the upper right corner of the page, and is worn, so that only 'Ma' can now be read on microfilm. Bowman saw this as May, and his reading is followed here.)"

LDS proxy temple ordinances are from the FGRA sheet and that of his parents.

Children on the FGRA sheet of Robert and Elizabeth: Thomas, b 1601, Southwark, md 1625, Margaret Atwood; Robert, abt 1603, Southwark; Elizabeth, abt 1605, of Southwark, md John Dickinson; John, abt 1605, of Southwark, w.p. 14 Jun 1672, md (1) 14 Mar 1637 (div) Herodias or Horod Long, (no 2nd marriage on the sheet); Stephen, abt 1607, of Southwark. (see further, article from "American Genealogist")

Children on the FGRA sheet of Robert and Margaret: Samuel, abt 1611, Southwark, married 11 Sep 1645, Lydia Doane; Ephraim, abt 1613, Southwark, married 13 Sep 1649, Elizabeth Tilley Howland, died 2 Dec 1649; Lydia, abt 1615, Chichester, Sussex, Eng., married 1633, Edward Bangs, died 1677; Phebe, abt 1616, Chichester, married 1635, George Watson, died 22 May 1663. (see further, article in "American Genealogist")

"Cape Cod Series" V. 2 pg 70 says children of his first wife were Elizabeth (married John Dickinson), Thomas, John (b 1607, died Long Island, N.Y., May 1672, married Herodia Long) and Stephen. (see further, article in "American Genealogist")

"Snow-Estes Ancestry" gives only Thomas as child of the first wife and children of the second wife as Samuel, Ephraim, Lydia and Phebe. (see further, article in "American Genealogist") It also gives wills of Robert and Margaret in full. His will names eldest son Samuel, son Ephraim, grandson John Bangs, and others with no relationship given. Margaret's will, dated 8 July 1665, names son Samuel, daughter in law Lydia, son Ephraim, deceased, son-in-law George Watson, husband of her daughter Phebe, deceased. and grandchild John Bangs.

The Windecker-Gross..." article says children of the first marriage were Thomas, baptized in Bermondsey, buried Apr 1604; John, baptized 12 Oct 1605, one of the patentees to whom (Dutch) Governor Kieft in 1645, granted the township of Flushing, Long Island. Children of the second marriage, Sarah bapt. 25 Oct 1607, Samuel, not shown in Bermondsey records, Stephen, Ephraim, Phebe and Lydia. (see next source)

The "American Genealogist" article says: "Charles Edwards Banks, in his 'English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers' (1929), p. 119, lists the baptisms of three of the children of Robert Hicks, who came to Plymouth Colony in the Fortune in 1621, that he found in the parish of Bermondsey, and then he states, 'As there are no further entries in the register he probably removed to Southwark after the last-named date' (1607).

"This erroneous statement has probably been responsible for the long delay in finding the baptisms of more of the children of Robert Hicks, for there are baptismal records of five more children ... in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, Surrey, the same parish where the three entries quoted by Dr. Banks appear!

"The early records of this parish are printed and indexed, and, no doubt, this is the source of Dr. Banks' information, but he should have noted they end in 1609."

He lists the children as they are shown here, with the burials of Thomas, Sara and Mary. He says Ephraim died three months after his marriage and it was his widow, Elizabeth, who married John Dickenson and not the "fictional eldest daughter often credited to Robert Hicks." Also, he says that Ephraim was "apparently born 1624-7 in Plymouth, as Robert and Margaret Hicks apparently had three children with them in 1623-4 when the division of land was made, yet had four children when the division of cattle was made in 1627 (Samuel, Ephraim, Lidia and Phoebe)." And "As far as the other purported children of Robert Hicks are concerned, it should be noted that they are not named in the wills of Robert or Margaret and were not with them during the 1623-1627 period. It appears that John and Richard died before 1623. It should also be noted that Robert Hicks calls Samuel his eldest son."

"The Great Migration..." gives a "Bibliographic Note" at the end of the account of Robert Hicks which says "In 1938 Louis Effingham de Forest compiled a comprehensive summary of all that was known about Robert Hicks at that date [Moore Anc 295-308]. (This summary includes children Elizabeth and Daniel, for whom there is no evidence.)

"The Great Migration..." says he came in 1621 on the "Fortune" and his first residence was Plymouth. It gives a deposition made by Clement Briggs of Weymouth 29 Aug 1638 saying that "about two and twenty years since this deponent then dwelling with one Mr. Samuell Lathame in Barmundsey Streete in Southwarke a fellmonger and one Thomas Harlow then also dwelling with Mr. Rob[er]te Heeks in the same street a fellmonger the said Harlow and this deponent had often conference together how many pelts each of their master pulled a week. And this deponent deposeth and saith that the said Rob[er]te Heeks did pull three hundred pelts a week and diverse times six or seven hundred & more in a week in the killing seasons, which was the most part of the year (except the time of Lent) for the space of three or four years. And that the said Rob[er]te Heek sold his sheep's pelts at that time for 40s. a hundred to Mr. Arnold Allard, whereas this deponents's Mr. Samuell Lathame sold his pelts for 50s. per hundred to the same man at the same time and Mr. Heeks pelts were much better ware [PCR 12:35].

"On 13 July 1639 Robert Hicks of Plymouth, 'citizen & leatherseller of London,' by a bill dated 6 July 1618 was indebted to Thomas Heath, citizen & cooper of London for L180, which amount was demanded by letter of attorney made by Hannah Cugley but Hicks showed an acquittance of all debts to Heath, having paid it long ago [PCR 12:43]." The article says he was in the 1633 list of Plymouth freemen, among those admitted before 1 Jan 1632/3 [PCR 1:3]. In the list of 7 March 1636/7 [PCR 1:52]. In the Plymouth section of the 1639 Plymouth Colony list of freemen, with the annotation 'dead' [PCR 8:173]. (should the date be 1649?)

Also, "In the 1623 Plymouth division of land, 'Robart Hickes' was granted one acre as a passenger on the Fortune, and his wife and children were granted four acres as passengers on the Anne [PCR 12:5, 6]. In the 1627 Plymouth division of cattle Robert Hicks, Margaret Hicks, Samuel Hicks, Ephraim Hicks, Lydia Hicks and Phebe Hicks were the sixth through eleventh persons in the twelfth company [PCR 12:13].

"Assessed 18s. in the Plymouth tax list of 25 March 1633 and 12s. in the list of 27 March 1634 [PCR 1:9, 27]. 'Robert Hickes' was thirty-seventh on the list of Purchasers [PCR 2:177].

"On 10 Feb 1629 Robert Hicks purchased two acres on the north side of town from Steven Dean [PCR 12:7]. On 29 Aug 1638 Clement Briggs acknowledged his sale of 'one acre of land in the upper fall near the second brook' to 'Mr. Rob[er]te Heeks' [PCR 12:34]. On 9 Dec 1639 'Mr Rob[er]te Hicks' rented five acres at Reed Pond to John Smyth for three years, Smyth to fence the east side of the land [PCR 12:51]. On 13 July 1639 George Sowle acknowledged his sale of two acres of land to Robert Hicks of Plymouth [PCR 12:45]. On 20 July 1639 John Barnes of Plymouth, yeoman, acknowledged his sale of four acres of meadow at High Pynes to Mr. Robert Hicks [PCR 12:45. On 11 Feb 1639[/40] Mr. Robert Hicks of Plymouth, planter, sold to Samuell Hicks his eldest son all his house, outhouses and garden in Plymouth, together with four acres of land and eight acres of land and all the meadow at the Heigh Pynes and Iland Creek, and all his right title and interest in the land, and three cows [PCR 12:54]. On 7 Apr 1642 Mr. Robert Hicks sold two acres of marsh at Heigh Pines to Mr. William Bradford [PCR 12:79]. On 7 May 1642 Mr. Robert Hicks sold seven acres of upland at Hand Creek to William Brett of Duxbury [PCR 12:80]. On 9 Oct 1645 Mr. Robert Hicks sold to Georg Partrich a parcel of marsh meadow consisting of two acres [PCR 12:115].

"In his will, dated 28 May 1645 and proved 15 May 1648, 'Robert Hicks of Plymouth ... being full of infirmities of body' bequeathed to

• 'my son Ephraim all that my dwelling house barn and buildings with the gardens ... in Plymouth,' also 'all those three fields one lying on the north side of the said town of Plymouth ..., the second which I lately purchased of Mr. John Aldin and the third called the south field'; 'but my mind and will is that my executrix hereafter named shall have and enjoy three rooms in the said house during her life she keeping herself unmarried, viz. the hall and chamber over the cellar underneath, and also that my said son Ephraim shall pay her the thirds of the said lands during her life and widowhood'; to 'my said son Ephraim all my lands lying at Iland Creek on Duxbery side except two lots of upland of twenty acres apiece lying next unto Mr. Kemp's lands, which I hereby give and bequeath unto John Banges my grandchild'; to 'my executric ... the rents of the said land not set and let forth for six years yet to come if she shall so long live, but all the rest of my lands ... I give unto my said son Ephraim';
• 'I give unto John Reyner the son of Mr. John Reyner our teacher fifty acres of the purchased lands accruing .... to me as a purchaser of my share of lands lying at Seawams or Secunck if the said Mr. John Reyner his father do remain at Plymouth';

• to Samuell Eddy a pair of wearing stockings;
• to 'my said son ephraim ... my four oxen, paying my loving wife ... the thirds of the profits of the lands as is before mentioned ... and to draw her twenty loads of wood yearly to her house in Plymouth during her life' [MD 8:144-46, citing PCPR 1:1:703].

"The inventory of the estate of 'Mr. Robert Hicks deceased the 24th of May 1647 taken the fifth of July in the year aforesaid also exhibited upon oath the 4th of May 1648' totalled L39 13s., with no real estate included [MD ("The Mayflower Descendant") 8:143-44, citing PCPR ("Plymouth Colony Probate Records")1:1:69].

"On 23 Jan 1648 John Rogers of Duxbury bought the rent of lands improved by Mr. Robert Hicks now deceased from Ephraim Hicks of Plymouth [PCR 12:155-56].

On 1 May 1660 'Gorge Watson,' on behalf of his son John Watson and nephew John Banges, requested that, because 'Samuel Hickes' was mistakenly entered in the court records as purchaser of lands at Cushenah and Accoaksett, etc., and it should have been 'Mr. Robert' Hickes, it be corrected; the matter was referred to a later court [PCR 3:186]. On 3 Oct 1662 'Samuell Hickes' was offered an equal division with others in the lands of Mr. Robert Hickes at Accushen, Coaksett, etc., but he declined [PCR 4:27]. Margaret and Samuel could not agree on the division of goods in Robert's estate and the matter was taken to court 7 June 1661 [PCR 3:217].

"On 7 Oct 1662 'Margarett Hickes of Plymouth, widow, as sole executrix to my husband Mr. Robert Hickes,' confirmed his bequest of fifty acres to 'Elnathan Chauncye the younger of the twins of Mr. Charles Chauncye' [MD 17:240-41, citing PCLR 2:2:107].

On 22 March 1663[/4] 'Mistris Hickes' and 'Sam[uel] Hickes' were granted Lot 7 in the Plymouth lands at 'Puncateesett Necke' [PTR 1:64]."

"Snow-Estes Ancestry" says Robert was a leather dresser or felmonger at Southwark, Surrey, near London ..." It says he "came on the Fortune, Nov., 1621, and in the 1621 division of land in Plymouth, he received one acre; his wife and children came in the Anne, 1623, in which year he and his wife were granted four acres. In the Division of Cattle, 1627, the 'twelveth lot fell to John Jene & his companie joyned to him' ...", the list included Robert, Margaret, Samuel, Ephraim, Lidya and Phebe Hicks. It said "To this lott fell the greate white backt cow wch was brought over with the first in the Ann, to wch cow the keepeing of the bull was joyned for thes psonts to pvide for. heere also two shee goats."

It says further "He was the twenty-third signer of the agreement between Plymouth Colony and William Bradford, Capt. Miles Standish, and Isaac Allerton and others, dated at London, Nov. 17, 1628. (In) 1633, member of the General Court. On 7/17 Jan'y, 1632/3, Robert Hicks and Francis Cooke were appointed arbitrators to settle a difference about accounts between Dr. Samuel Fuller and Peter Brown. Oct. 2, 1634. he took the inventory of Stephen Dean's estate, and Feb. 27, 1643, that of John Atwood's estate."

"Windecker-Gross and Allied Families" gives some of the same information but calls him a "fellmonger or hide and wool merchant of London."
