& RELATED FAMILIES


Margaret Painter first married an unknown MORRIS. This Morris was born circa 1663 in Newport, Rhode Island. They had one son, Richard Morris, born after 1680.

Children of Richard Morris (His spouse is unknown at this time)and grandchildren of Margaret Painter were as follows:

  1. Mercy
  2. Thomas
  3. Joseph
  4. George

After the death of Mr. Morris, Margaret married Lawrence Clinton. This was his third marriage. They had six children, probably all born in Newport, RI:

  1. Mercy born circa 1691
  2. Shubael born circa 1693 died Oct 5 1756 in French & Indian Wars
  3. Thomas born circa 1698 died 1761 West Haven, CT
  4. Joseph born circa 1701

  6. George born circa 1705 died Mar 27, 1776 West Haven, CT.

After Lawrence Clinton's death, Margaret married Jeremiah Mott. There were no children to this marriage. Margaret and Jeremiah resettled in Wallingford, Connecticut. It is assumed that is what brought Margaret's children to that region.

THE PAINTERS

Generation One Thomas Painter (Sr) was born in England in 1610, and married Katherine Unknown, circa 1630 in England. Thomas and Katherine Painter immigrated to the new world aboard the Winthrop Fleet of 1630:

1630, THE WINTHROP FLEET consisted of The Flagship "Arabella" and 10 other ships.
The first five ships sailed April 8 from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, and arrived at Salem June 13 and following days. The other half of the fleet sailed in May and arrived in July at various dates. Altogether they brought about seven hundred passengers during "the Great Emigration". On one of these ships was THOMAS PAINTER Destination:Boston and Hingham in Massachusetts and Mrs. KATHERINE PAINTER.

The following is from "The First Frontier" by David Horowitz,:
Chapter 2 entitled "Magnalia Christi Americana":

"On a summer day in 1630, the board of directors and the major stockholders of the Massachusetts Bay Company arrived in Boston to take possession of their recently founded colony. On board their flagship, the Arabella, Governor John Winthrop proclaimed a frontier covenant between God and the colonizing force: "We shall finde that the God of Israeli is among us, when tenn of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies, when hee shall make us a prayse and glory, that men shall say of succeeding platacions; the Lord make it like that in New England."

These settlers were a more substantial group than their Pilgrim predecessors. Reformist rather than radical in religion, they were from the landed gentry and commercial classes. Their settlement at once supplanted Plymouth as the dominant colonial authority in the north."

Whether Thomas and Katherine Painter were on the flagship "Arabella", or one of the other ships, is not known at this time.

"The First Frontier" by David Horowitz, published by Simon & Schuster, New York is an extremely interesting book about the Indian Wars. Anybody interested in America's early history might want to read it. 

The Children of Thomas Painter (Sr) and Katherine ? were as follows: 
  	  i. Shubael; born 1635 in Westerly, Washington, RI.married Mercy Lamberton;

 Shubael Painter; born 1635 in Westerly, Washington, RI; married Mercy Lamberton, 
daughter of George Lamberton and Margaret Lewen;  He died 1661 in  Westerly, RI.  
Shubael is listed as "free inhabitant of towne of Westerle" in the town meeting records
on MAY 18, 1669 in Westerly, RI.

GEORGE LAMBERTON

was a merchant gentleman and a sea captain. On January 6, 1629, he married Margaret Lewen in St. Mary's Whitechapel, London, England. They removed to America, where he was one of the original founders of the Colony of New Haven. He was allotted land in block 7 and owned over 266 acres.
