Suggested Origins

• Robert Story, b. 1563 at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, d. 28 Jul 1604 in London, England; m. 1580 Elizabeth Sargent, b. 30 Jan 1556 at St. James, Courteenhall, Northamptonshire, England, d. 1603 at the same location.
  • Andrew Augustine Story, b. 1595 in Norwich, England; m. 1614 in Norwich Sarah Brooke, b 1592 in Norwich, d. 1625 in London, England. Andrew's death is variously reported as 1612 in Scotland, which seems unlikely, or in Norfolk. But he married in 1614, and his son William was born that year. We must list his death date and place as unknown.
    • William Story Sr., b. 3 Jan 1614 in Norwich, d. 20 Jan 1702 in Ipswich, Mass.; m. 1640 in Ipswich Sarah Foster, b. 15 Oct 1620 in Exeter, England, d. Jan 1703 in Ipswich. William emigrated in 1637 to Boston, Massachusetts, and settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, probably before 1640. Sarah emigrated in 1638 with her family from Exeter, Devon, England to Ipswich.
