"Prisoner For Portsmouth." Kingston Daily Standard. September 27, 1913. Page 1. --- John Underhill, sentenced from Simcoe, to serve ten years and receive twenty lashes for a criminal assault on a young girl, was brought to the city last night and locked in the cell at the police station. This morning he was transferred to the 'pen' to begin his sentence.

[Underhill was 19, a farmer, tattooed on his wrists, and scarred elsewhere from farm labour. He was convict #F-649, worked on the prison farm, and was never reported. Remarkably, he was paroled April 22, 1914, having served less than seven months of his sentence. Sometimes this happened because of illness, or because there was doubts as to his guilt - hard to say in this case.]

John Reardon, 59, of Millis, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States allegedly called Congregation Agudas Achim, a synagogue in Attleboro, Bristol County, Massachusetts, on January 25, 2024. “Guess what? We are going to use your logic,” Reardon allegedly said in a voicemail he left. “If you can kill the Palestinians, we can kill you.”

The first in a line of Packards: the story of Elizabeth

Building off the last post in this blog, where I pledged to write about more female ancestors, countering past gender imbalances, I'd like to focus on Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Packard, who came over with a child, likely Mary, in 1638 from Hingham, a town in Norfolk County, England, to Hingham, a settlement in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Many aspects of her life are an utter mystery. Her surname, long speculated to be Stream, is unknown, and is often given second billing, when it comes to efforts by Packard descendants to remember the past, elevating Samuel Packard above her, even by those than communicated with my grandfather, Bob Mills, or those that communicated with me in the past. The same is the case in contemporary records during the time her husband, Samuel, was alive, already implying was a second-class citizen. But, who was she, and why does she matter?

As I've written in the past, Elizabeth seems to have met Samuel when he moved to Norfolk County, which was north of Suffolk County, where he was born, reportedly in the Red House Farm. I am, to be clear, indirectly descended from both people. Apart from that, she had, at least nine children with Samuel, along with five grandchildren. [1] I tied to break this down into a listing so its much easier for you (and me) to understand those mentioned in Samuel's will:

Elizabeth X, wife of Samuel

Samuel, son of Samuel and Elizabeth, eldest son

Zaccheus, son of Samuel and Elizabeth

John, son of Samuel and Elizabeth

Nathaniel, son of Samuel and Elizabeth

Mary, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth, wife of Richard Phillips

Hannah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Randall

Jaell, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth, wife of John Smith

Deborah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Washburn

Grandchild Israel Augur, son of ???

Grandchild Caleb Philips, son of Richard? Phillips

Grandchild Israel Packard, son of Zaccheus

Grandchild Samuel Packard, son of Samuel

Grandchild Daniel Packard, son of Samuel

In his will on October 29, 1684, Elizabeth received some money from her husband and much, much more. This included gobs and jobs of land, including:

his farm in the town of Bridgewater (36 acres), along with lands and meadows connected to the farm

share of meadow called Bullshole for life

all his goods and cattle

40 pounds for life

20 acres of land lying in Bridgewater between lands owned by James Keith and Joseph Hayward near Satuckett Pond

all money and chattle shall be divided equally among his children and grandchildren after she dies

a feather bed, which shall be given to his grandchild Deliverance Augur after her death

one of the joint executors of his estate along with her son Samuel

That's a sizable amount!

After Samuel died, she married a man, likely in late 1684 or perhaps in early 1685, by the name of John Washburn, a long-time Bridgewater resident. He would die sometime after October 30, 1686, outlining the following in his will [2]:

to my Wife Elizabeth Washbourne one Bed one Boulster one Pillow two pair of sheets one Blanket one Coverlet two chests Six bushels of Indian Corne one bushell of Barley. ffarther with Respect to money which was my wives part whereof I have already laid out for her we are agreed that I should Returne to her two pounds and ten shillings which I have already done.

Of course, she is not mentioned at all in his inventory. [3]

Over ten years after Samuel's death, on October 27, 1694, Elizabeth sold land given to her by Samuel: a 20-acre tract called “Satuckett Pond” or “Sehucket Pond," selling the the land to “an Indian” living in Bridgewater named Sam James for five pounds. [4] This agreement would be signed by Samuel’s son of the same name, Samuel Packard, Jr., along with two others, while identifying her as "Elizabeth Washburn Widow of the Town of Bridgewater":

Most importantly, in this agreement she explicitly noted herself as married to Samuel, calling him her "first husband":

"...by these presents convent with the said Sam James his heirs & assigners I...at the lime of making over and passing away said Land unto the said Sam James stood truley & lawfully peired and processed with the same & every part and parcel thereof of a good lure, lawfully & absolute Estate of Inheritance, by virtual of my first Husband, vis: Samuel Packard his will, and therefor, I have full power to Bargain, Sell, Grant, alienate, and pass away the piece onto said Sam James.

It goes on from there in legalese, basically saying she has the right to give Sam James the land. This transcription may not be completely correct, so I'd recommend you read the full page below, as I could have made errors:

Many years later, in April 1702, Elizabeth, still a “widow,” would sign a document about John Washburn’s heirs, receiving some rights. I came to the conclusion this is her as she is called "Elizabeth Solo" (widow):

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch, Bristol, Deeds 1699-1709 vol 3-5, image 304 of 806, page 83, county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

That is the last record we have of her. What I have posed here goes far beyond what I wrote in the past. Further recommendations for how I can find more about Elizabeth are appreciated, as I'm planning to focus on later Packard ancestors in the future.

Common Chaffinch Norfolk Woodlands.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Male chaffinches are colourful birds with an orange-pink breast and cheeks, grey-blue cap and orange-brown back. Females are much duller brown with hints of green and yellow.The Chaffinch is one of the most widespread and common birds in Britain and Ireland. Its patterned feathers help it blend in when feeding on the ground, so it's easiest to see when it flies, as a flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers is revealed. It's shy when it comes to bird feeders, preferring to hop about under the bird table or under the hedge. You'll usually hear Chaffinches before you see them, thanks to their loud song and range of calls

Another posting lapse is underway. I'm headed to my hometown in Virginia for family, food, and my fiftieth high school reunion. I have a great backlog of photos, which will likely only grow while I'm away. Fresh posts resume when I return.

Here's a postcard for you of the old Norfolk County Courthouse in Portsmouth, Virginia. Norfolk County no longer exists – subsumed by surrounding cities – and the courthouse is now repurposed as the city's art and cultural center. It was built in 1846. The circuit court still operated in the building during my high school years; I was a witness at a trial held there in a cramped, airless courtroom. It was a miserable experience that convinced me unequivocally that law school was not an option for me.

The postcard was printed by the Detroit Publishing Co. in 1905. The image is from the digital collections of the New York Public Library.

The "Hingham Community Band" and Samuel Packard

Recently, the Hingham Heritage Museum wrote about the Hingham Community Band which had prominence in the community in the 20th century. By that time, the Packard family that is covered on this blog was long gone. Undoubtedly there were some Packards remaining. Still, it is worth recounting the story of Samuel Packard in Hingham itself. After all, there is no doubt the Packards are in varied histories and records of Hingham, specifically genealogies and transcriptions of original records. In the Genealogies of Samuel Packard and Abel Packard it was written that

Samuel Packard and his wife and one child came from Windham, near Hingham, Norfolk County, England, to Hingham, in Plymouth colony, in 1638. He removed thence to Bridgewater about 1660. His sons, and probably he himself, were soldiers under Capt. Benjamin Church, in the Indian war with the famous King Philip, in 1675 and 1676. He had six sons and six daughters, viz.: Elizabeth, Samuel Jr., Zaccheus, Thomas, John, Nathanie l, Mary, Hannah, Israel, Jael, Deborah, and Deliverance. All his children Had families. He was appointed to office in Bridgewater in 1664, was licensed to keep an Ordinary in 1670, his will was dated in 1684, and it is supposed he died not long afterwards. His age was probably between seventy and eighty years.

Generally, this has been the accepted narrative. We know that Elizabeth's surname cannot be confirmed, that their marriage date is a guess, and that Samuel Packard died by November 7th, 1684, not that he died on that day. But, the last sentence is the only one that is mostly accurate. Dale Cook adds to this that "the birth date of Samuel is unknown – the date given in that statement is the date of his baptism in Stonham Aspal, which fact was not discovered until about a century after the book was published and is found nowhere in the book" and that the surname of Stream "was an undocumented and unsupported assertion made about a century after the book was published and is found nowhere in the book," adding that this book "leaves out the residence of Samuel Packard and his family in Weymouth." That is all valid, but it seems wrong to completely disregard the book because it does have accurate information about those living at the time that Theophilus Packard would have known when he assembled the book. Otherwise, sure, it is garbage that could be ripped apart into tiny shreds and thrown into a garbage compactor, never to be seen again.

This reminds me of the Packard poem where they say that

The second child, in Hingham born, Was for father named [Samuel], And as ensign he held rank Is by records claimed. ... The third son, Zaccheus, too we find In Hingham woods was born, And doubtless with his father wrought In raising Indian corn

As I wrote in my family history, the Packards were not only part of a society in Hingham but part of the growing colony in New England.

RED KITE MILVUS MILVUS - North Norfolk.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The red kite is a scavenger bird that was once very rare across the UK and even became extinct in Scotland in the 19th century. Red kites have several characteristics that make them easy to identify. These large birds of prey have a rusty brown body with grey and silver markings on their head. They have long angular wings in the same colour as their body but with darker markings at the tips. When fully extended in flight their wingspan can reach up to a massive 5-6ft depending on the size of the bird. Wings appear to bend backwards in flight and their long tail becomes forked, giving it a triangular appearance.

Seriously though I've worked in a good number of counties at this point doing this GI schtick and Lincolnshire has a level of NIMBYism that's near toxic

#and this includes fucking norfolk!#probably due to most of the county's land being owned/ruled by a council of farming liches #it'll be reyt. I'll get the last laugh when Lincolnshire is taken by the ocean in 50 years
