Evidently extensive coverage in NYGBR 119:80-84, 133-42: The connection between Moyles/Michael Williams and Michael Williamson of Ipswich and Newport is established in this article. “Moyles Williams” appears as s an original proprietor at Hempstead, and in 1667, the heirs of “Michael Williams” quit-claimed their interest in the estate of their step-father Henry Pearsall. The family goes by Williams after moving to Long Island.
Moyles came to Boston in 1635 as a servant to George Giddings from St. Albans Parish in Hertfordshire. He appears on the list as “Michell Willmson, 30.” He followed him to Ipswich and soon married Ann Pankhurst. The family followed Ann Hutchinson to Rhode Island in 1638. They were in Long Island by about 1644, and Moyles died shortly afterward.
His sons John and Joseph were profiled on pages 133-142.
Article also notes that the account of the Williams family in the Pearsall genealogy is fictional.
