General Notes (Husband)

---

However, Some notes on inconsistencies in published genealogical data and additions thereto
(Ancestry.org), states:

The Pepper Genealogy by Emily Clark Landon, 1932, states on apge 10 that Robert Pepper who came to America about 1640 and settled in Roxbury, Mass., was supposed by Savage to be the son of Richard Pepper, who came with his wife on teh ship Francis in 1634. The History of the First Church of Roxbury by Walter E. Wting, 1908, on page 51, states Richard Pepper, age 27, came in 1634 from Ipswich, England. Hence Richard Pepper was not old enough to have had a son of marriageable age in 1642-3 because on 14 March 1642-3 Robert Pepper did marry Elizabeth Johnson.

(Actually, he was barely old enough if both he and Robert married at age 18. If Richard was 27 in 1634, then he was born in about 1607, and was about 36 in 1643.)

PEPPER GENEALOGY: Ancestors and Descendants of Robert PEPPER of Roxbury, MASS,Emily Clark Landon
"Richard PEPPER, Roxbury, came in the "Francis" from Ipswich, 1634 aged 27, with his wife MAry aged 30, and dau. Mary 3 1/2 yrs., besides Stephen Beckett of 11 years, united with the church early, as did his wife. Freeman March 4, 1635, but of father, mother, and children nothing is known beyond that, only a meagre note that he was living in 1648."

Francis, Springfield, prob 1645, will dated Dec 5, 1685, probated March 30, 1686, beq to cousins Joseph, Samuel, Marah, Benjamin and Jeremiah Northrup, who are sepcified in probation papers as living at Seaside, Conn. Phillis, a maid servant memb. ch. Roxbury about 1637 (E) Frances probably had no children. (ref. Pioneers of America, page 354.)

Richard Pepper, Roxbury, came in the Francis from Ipswich, 1634, aged 27, with his wife Mary aged 30, and daughter Mary 3 1/2 years, besides Stephen Beckett of 11 years, united with the church early, as did his wife. Freeman March 4, 1635, but of father, mother and children nothing is known beyond that, only a meagre note that he was living in 1648. He may have removed to long distance in Connecticut. Mr. Drake gave this man the name of pepy, in the transcript for Gen. Reg. Vol. XIV ages 331-2 but on the latter page has it both ways. Savage says that nine years before he had printed in 3 mass. Historical collections Col. X. pages 143 adn 4, the copy sent him by Country-man Henry Stephens, the accomplished assistant at the British museum and perhaps his Reading may seem equal. (ref. Saages Genealogical Dictionary Vol III).

Richard Pepper and wife Mary, were early members of Roxbury Church.

Someone's handwritten notes. Richard Pepper (Piper, Pyper) of Haddam, Conn. died Apr 3 1678 and willed estate to friends and neighbors. Freeman 1669, Constable 1669, Deputy 1674. Had proprietary land rights. Same?
