Sir Richard Badcock

From https://vredenburgh.org/babcock/pages/James_Badcock.htm

"Again, at East Thorp... there is confirmatory evidence of the ancient residence of the Badcock people in Essex in the existence there of a manor of the Badcocks (* ibid).... But East Thorp is not Wivenhoe, and Abberton is not Wivenhoe, and we are assured, as above, that the name Badcock is not in the Wivenhoe parish register.
Nevertheless, ‘family tradition’ has it that at Wivenhoe lived -- born about 1580 -- a younger brother of Sir Richard, named James Badcock, a clergyman of the Church of England, of Puritanical persuasion, who became an exile in 1620 to Leyden, Holland, for the sake of religious liberty, and sailing thence, with others landed in New England -- some say at Plymouth, Mass. -- in 1623, thus becoming the founder of the family in this country.
