HAP's page divisions are shown: after subject page numbers are complete document page numbers in brackets and issue dates. The original text had generations indented in turn: here, generation numbers are added to each individual: the children of the title subject are "1/--". Subject 622. 2/13/49 (362) HENRY REDDOUGH. The following is from "American Ancestry", Vol 10, which gives a complete family tree of this family and its complicated inter- marriages: from "The Genealogy of Francis Weekes of the Mayflower", by Dr. Frank Edgar Weeks, Kipton, Ohio, 1938: and from "The Ancestors of Frank Herb Davol and Phebe Downing Willets", by Josephine C. Frost, New York, 1925. The name is spelled in many different ways, such as Reddock, Reddough, Reddocke, Ruddock, Redeke, Rodick, and Reddoeke, but the common spelling in London in 1660, was Raddeck. However, the only child who could write, spelled it Reddough. The first record of Henry Reddough was that he was a resident of Warwick, R.I., and received a grant of 25 acres of land, and promised allegiance to the King. In 1654 he was Deputy to the General Court: and again in 1663. In 1650 he was Town Clerk. In 1656, he and Christopher Hawkhurst, his son in law, and Stukeley Westcott, were appointed Surveyors. In 1667 he was one of the seven purchasers of Matinecock, Long Island, and moved to that place. His will, dated August 26/1672, proved January 25/1693, appointed as Executors, Francis Weekes and Henry Townsend, who settled the estate in 1694, as follows:- "Hannah and Elizabeth having received something of their father`s alradie, Mary Hawkhurst is to have ye vellew of a cowe and two yeare heffar, and ye two youngest daughters Jane and Sarah, to have theire cowes and heffers, according to theire father's wil to nake ye two youngest daughters equell with ye said Hannah and Elizabeth, and it is to be understoode that the two youngest sisters are to have œ5 each of them more than ye other three sisters, and all the rest of ye mobeables are equelly to be divided amogst ye five sisters: also it is to be understoode that theire mother did at sum time say shee would give her two youngest dauahters, Geane and Sarah, each of them a bed and furneture and sum pewter." Henry married Mabel Burrowes, daughter of William Burrowes: I have seen this wedding date given as June 2/1656, but this is evidently incorrect. Mabel died shortly after her husband. Issue:- 1.
