Notes about Margaret Hulins

"The American Genealogist" [TAG] No. 208, Vol. 52, No. 4, October 1976, pages 93-97, by Myrtle Stevens Hyde."Hardly daring to believe that the wanted Thomas [Bliss] was actually found, we sought more evidence. Since someone in Rodborough might name Thomas Bliss, his wife Margaret and/or their children, all testators of Rodborough 1600-1660 from the Glouchestershire Consistory Court (where most Glouchester wills were probated) were listed.".. Reading them [wills of Glouschester] was started with 1621, and the 8th one read, that of John Hulins..."[See below for information given in will showing correct maiden name of Thomas Bliss' wife to be Hulins, NOT Lawrence.]ohn also had a SON LAWRENCE, for whom Thomas & Margaret undoubtedly named one of their sons, with the result that CARELESS INTERPRETERS of the evidence have LONG SUPPOSED that LAWRENCE was the MAIDEN NAME of MARGARET, an ERROR now DISPROVED." page 94.n name is LAWRENCE]. Margaret Hulins was born about the year 1594, and married to Thomas Bliss about 1612-15. She was a good looking woman, with a square oblong face that betokened great capability and force of character. She had a broad open brow, fair hair, and blue eyes. After the death of her husband, which took place about the close of the year 1639, she managed the affairs of the family with great prudence and judgment. Her eldest daughter, Ann, was married to Robert Chapman, of Saybrook, Conn., April 29th, 1642, choosing April for their marriage month instead of May, for the old English adage ran—" To wed in May, you'll rue the day." She removed with her husband to Saybrook, where her eldest brother, Thomas, came soon after to live with them, and where he-married in 1644, and in 1659 re-moved to Norwich, Conn., with thirty-four or thirty-five others and effected the settlement of that town. The other children of the widow Margaret Bliss, of Hartford, concluded not to settle there permanently, chilla and fever prevailing in some localities near the town; she and her children, therefore, in f year J 43, removed to the settlement of Springfield, Mass., thirty miles or more up the Coniu urn R ! c-r. Margaret sold her property in Hartford, and gathering her household goods and t tttle together, prepared with her eight children to make the journey through the forest to Springfield which she accomplished in about five days. Nathaniel and Samuel, her second and fourth ec is, had been there previously, and a dwelling had been prepared for the family on their arrival. A journey like this was thought a great thing in those days. They in this country were probably born Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah and John. England, and in the autumn of 1635, he with his younger brother George embarbed at Plymouth, with their families, for the then wilderness of America. Thomas located temporarily at Braintree, Mass., whence he afterwards removed to Hartford, Conn., where he died in 1640. We have been unable to ascertain the dates of birth of all the children in this family ; but it is evident that Thomas was the oldest son, and that he must have' been of age at the time of the distribution of the lots in Hartford, which would place his birth at about the year 1615-16. The births of the other children must have occurred between that of Thomas, jr., (unless Ann and Mary were older,) and the death of Thomas, sen., in 1640, which would allow two years at least between them. Probably there were no other sons of age at the time of their arrival in Hartford, as otherwise they would have had lots assigned them, — and there is nothing more discoverable respecting any of the children in Hartford. n 1616 in Hull, Yorkshire, England; d. 13 Oct 1687 in Saybrook, Middlesex, CTrshire, England. m.

She was eleven or twelve when they decided on still another move, to the rude little settlement of Hartford. There for a time life stabilized, and Mary grew to womanhood as an average member of an ordinary New England community. In 1646 she married Joseph Parsons, a successful merchant, and went to live in Springfield. Henceforth, her life would be increasingly set apart from the average.n, became members of the church.
