Henry Butterworth

Ancestry of Colonel John Harrington Stevens and his wife Frances Helen Miller by Mary Lovering Holman, F A S G 1948[p. 254 ff]

Henry BUTTERWORTH, probably born in England, about 1598, died in Weymouth, between 1636 and 1641, and probably in 1636. He married, probably in England, about 1620, Mary ______, born in 1600, who died, probably in Newport, R.I., 26 Jan 1687. She married, secondly, between 28 Jan. and 28 Feb. 1640-41, THOMAS CLIFTON, born probably in England, in 1606, died, probably in Newport, 7 July 1681.

There is a scarcitry of record in regard to this Butterworth family. The deposition of Samuel Butterworth (vie post) shows that he lived in Weymouth with his "brother," "unnamed", but whose name is assumed to be John, probably because of the known items about John Butterworth, nephew of Samuel. But no John Buterworth appears in the early records of Weymough and one, Henry Buterworth, does so appear, hence the conclusion must be that Henry Butterworth was the "Brother" of Samuel. Later, in his deposition, Samuel mentions his "brother and sister", no names being given them, stating that they enjoyed the land until all removed to Seaconke. A careful study of this deposition forces the conclusion that the "Sister" was the widow of Samuel's brother, Henry, and who was later the wife of her second husband, Thomas Clifton.

In the belief of the day, Mary (____) Butterworth would be Samuel's "sister". [This was so because of the sacrament of marriage which made the two one flesh and all the relatives on either side the same relationship with the conjugal partner. Death did not dissolve these ties so when Samuel's "sister", Mary, widow of Henry, m. Clifton, he in turn became "brother" to Samuel Butterworth.] And it seems evident that Samuel and Henry had no real sister with them.

In the Proprietors' Records, as quoted in the History of Weymouth, p. 187, is a list of those people who were earlier granted land in "The great lots named in the old town book and formerly granted to be laid out on the East side of Fresh Pond..." In this list, "widow Butterworth", had been given fourteen acres and Samuel Butterworth sixteen acres, but Thomas Clifton does not appear receiving any land. Later, a list of land belonging to each of the residents shows that the land of the latter consisted of "six acres in the west field, fower acres first granted to mr Robert jeffrie and two acres first granted to William Hues... Tow acres in Harrisses Rainge first given to Samuel Butterworth bounded... on the north with the land of Jacob ffrench on the south with William Carpenter...Ó It seems apparent that Thomas Clifton obtained his two acres of the land granted to Robert Jeffries, by marriage with the widow of Henry Butterworth which Samuel Butterworth stated (vide post) was six acres and which was evidently owned by Samuel and Henry. There are no grants of land to the children of Henry Butterworth, in Weymouth, but they were minors when the grants were made. In 1644, Samuel Butterworth and Thomas Clifton were among those inhabitants of Weymouth who accompanied the Rev. Mr. Newman to what was later called Rehoboth. At the time of her marriage to Thmas Clifton, Mary Butterworth was aged forty and in a community where women were so scarce it is extremely doubtful if she would have remained unmarried for as long as nine years.
