FRANCIS LYFORD, OF BOSTON, AND EXETER, AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS

By William Lewis Welch

Introduction

Somebody has said that the genealogist wears leaden shoes, or something to that effect. I have found it so. It

is now many years since I began studying and arranging the records of my mother's family, and the genealogy has

increased in extent as material accumulated, until it has become a record of the entire Lyford family in America.

It is necessarily lacking in many details of dates and full names, for people written to would not answer, or could

not give particulars, if they did answer. I have found but one Lyford that was not a member of the family. He

was Richard Lyford, who was living in Boston in 1896, and then about forty-two years of age. He and all of his

family, including his grandfather, were born at Whitechurch, Oxfordshire, England. One Lyford I have been

unable to locate, that is Jacob Lyford, mentioned in New Hampshire State Papers, Vol. XIII, p. 77, as of North

Hampton, 7 June 1742. It is hoped that any persons discovering errors or omissions in the following pages will

write to William L. Welch, Salem, Mass., that notes may be made for further corrections.
 

REV. JOHN LYFORD

(Lyford's editorial note: May or may not be a relative of Francis, but John died several years before Francis was

born) The first of the name of Lyford in this country, was Rev. John Lyford who arrived at Plymouth in March,

1624. He was sent over by the company in England as minister for the colony. With him came his wife and

several children. He had been settled in Ireland for several years, having gone there from England in 1620.

Undoubtedly he was of the Established Church and was sent over to counteract the Congregationalist tendencies

inculcated by Robinson, with the hope of bringing the colonists back to the Church. Trying to carry out the ideas

of the home company as above outlined, soon brought him into trouble with the authorities at Plymouth, and,

early in the summer of 1624, some few months after his arrival, he was expelled from the colony, being given,

however, six months to remove his family. He moved to Nantasket (Hingham), and was followed by Roger

Conant and some others of the Church party. Later they became partly reconciled to the colony and occasionally

visited there. Lyford acquired property, or made himself so friendly with the people at Nantasket, that the land or

water, or both, at the mouth of the river (now Weir River) was named "Lyford's likeing;" a deed dated 1-7-1649

(seventh of March), and recorded in Suffolk Deeds, Liber I, mentions 'foure Acres meadow more or lesse at

Laifords likeing." The History of Hingham also mentions "Lyford's Liking Run," as being a small brook in that

vicinity. Probably early in 1625 they went with Conant to Cape Ann, where Conant had been made governor, and

there Lyford preached and administered the ordinances of the Established Church. Conant as governor, and

Lyford as minister, with others, came to Naumkeag during the autumn of 1625; and through the winter of 1625-26

and nearly to the end of the summer of 1627, Lyford was minister at Salem. For some three years he had been

Conant's minister, and for the last ten months, or longer, of that time, he had been at Naumkeag (Salem), or fully

two years before the establishment of the First Church, so called, or the ordination of Higginson and Skelton.

Roger Conant's son, Roger, was born in 1626, the first child born in Salem, was not baptized at the First Church,

after his father united With it, as all his brothers and sisters were; undoubtedly for the reason that he had been

baptized previously, and by Lyford.
 

Mr. John Fells, master of the "Jacobb," of about eighty tons, had been commissioned by the Virginia

Company of London, to transport passengers and goods to Virginia. On one of his voyages he had been wrecked

near Cape Cod, at the beginning of the winter of 1626-7, and remained at Plymouth during the summer of 1627.

During this time Fells visited Naumkeag, and other places, and probably gave Lyford that "loving invitation" to

go to Virginia. Fells and his party succeeded in obtaining passage in a "cuple of barks at ye latter end of sumer"

in 1627, and probably Lyford went with him. All that is further known of Lyford is that "he shortly after dyed in

Virginia." Judging of Lyford's character by Bradford's account, which is copied by nearly every one who writes

about those times, one gets an impression that he was capable of any kind of villany; but, on considering how

Roger Conant and others adhered to him, one realizes that there must have been a very different side of his

character and one worthy of consideration. It would be very interesting to have Lyford's own story of the troubles

placed before us.
 

John Lyford had several children; how many came with him I cannot say. We have records of Ruth and

Mordecai, and possibly Ann. his widow, Sarah, married at Charlestown, 10 Oct. 1634, Edmund Hubbard

(Hobart) senior, widower, of Hingham (Nantasket); she died 23 June, 1649. His daughter, Ruth, married 19 Apr.,

1643, James Bate (Bates) and died 9 Mar., 1689/90. There was an Ann Lyford who died at Hingham in July,

1639; possibly she was a daughter of John Lyford. In May, 1635, there sailed from London in the Suzan & Ellen,

Ann Lieford aged 13 years, but where she afterwards lived is not known. She may have been a daughter of

Lyford, and the Ann who died in 1639.
 

John Lyford's son, Rev. Obediah, died in Ireland and Mr. Hubbard was chosen, 6 Aug., 1639, guardian of

Mordecai, then 14 years old, who was to receive property that Obediah had left. Mr. Hubbard appointed William

Bladen, Alderman of Dublin, and John Fisher, of the same place, attorneys, to sell a lease at Leballeglish, County

Armagh.

In 1642 are recorded in Suffolk Deeds, Liber I, receipts from Ruth and "Mordecay" Lyford to their stepfather

Edmund Hubbard, of property left them by their father John Lyford, by his last will and testament. A record of

his will has not been found, and therefore it is impossible to learn further of John Lyford's family. Nothing

further is known of Mordecai.
 

I have been unable to trace any connection between this John Lyford and Francis Lyford who first appears in

Boston in 1667.
 

FRANCIS LYFORD

I find the earliest mention of Francis Lyford in Suffolk Deeds, Liber V, pp. 378-379, where he appears as one

of the witnesses to a conveyance of land, etc., at the "South end of the Towne of Boston," butting on a street or

highway leading from Boston towards Roxbury. He signs with three others: Robert Helmes, Nath. Hubbert,

ffrancis Lyford, William Pearse, Scr., under date of "12th ffebruary, 1667." Again in Suffolk Deeds, Liber VI,

pp. 219-220, under date of 20 Sept., 1670, appears this mortgage: "John Chandler, for and in consideration of

Eighteen pounds to me in hand paid by ffrancis Lyford of Boston, marriner . . . . for ever all that my dwelling

house & outhousing thereunto belonging and two acres of land or more or less in Roxbury . . . . and tenn acres &

a halfe of land lying & being in Roxbury in the nookes next dorchester & twenty two acres of land lying in

Roxbury in the Eighth lot in the thousand acres next Dedham. . . . . to be released for L19, 20th March next

Ensuing the date hereof in the dwelling house of Thomas Smith in Boston, Shipwright or Elsewhere."

In Suffolk Deeds, Liber VI, pp. 320-321, appears the following deed which was acknowledged 9th July,

1672: "To All People to whome this writing or Deede shall come wee Thomas Smith of Boston in New England

Builder & Elisabeth his wife send Greeting. Know yee that for & in consideracon of the Love wee the saide

Thomas Smith & Elisabeth doe beare unto o'Sone in Law ffrancis Lyford of the same place Marriner . . . . haue

granted . . . . unto the said ffrancis Lyford our beloved Sone . . . . A piece or parcell of Land conteining in length

fourty foote or more or Less from the Seaward as far as the sd Smith his Land reacheth being butted & bounded

Easterly with theSalt Sea & fforthill & westerly partly with the dwelling house of him the saide Smith & partly

with his Land. And conteining in breadth Eighteene foote to begin or beginning at the Easterly end of the saide

Smith his dwelling house & Soe to continue the said Breadth in every part of the said peice or parcell of Land

hereby given & mentioned . . . ."
 

Witness John Bradish, Peter Chapline.

Francis Lyford, after the death of his wife (perhaps in 1677) sold the land given him as above, as appears in

Suffolk Deeds, Liber XI, pp. 137-138.
 

"Francis Lyford of Boston in the Colony of the Massaschusetts in New England marriner for 90pounds of

lawful money of New England to him in hand . . . . by Magnis White of Boston afores marriner, all that his

mefsuage or tenement scituate lying and being in Boston neare unto the Sonce and ffort-hill . . . . (Reserving

onely an highway of twelve foote wide crofs the sd Land laid out by the Select men of sd Boston, for a passage

from the Towne to the sd Sconce)" . . . .

Acknowledged 9 ffebruary, 1678.
 

"John Bradish & Francis Lyford haue libertie granted them to wharfe before their house & land, they

makeing good and keeping in repaire the highway between sd wharfe & house," 12 Feb., 1677/8 (7th report of

Boston Record Commissioners, p. 115).
 

Francis Lyford bought of Benjamin Gillam and Hannah his wife, for 50pounds, a parcell of land, beach and

flats "near unto the Sconce . . . . Excepting onely one hundred foote privilege from the Barracado or outmost

wharves next the Sea channell to the Landward which the proprietors are to enjoy by Agreement. Lyford Keepe a

sufficient highway through the Lands &c according to order of Selectmen." (Suffolk Deeds, Liber XI, pp. 213-

214).
 

After the second marriage of Francis Lyford, he conveyed to his first father-in-law, the above described land

brought of Benj. Gillam as appears by Suffolk Deeds, Liber XVII, p. 72, under date of 18 June, 1689, viz.:

"ffrancis Lyford of the Towne of Exeter in the colony of the Massachsetts in New England, Marriner and

Rebecka his wife, for 86 pounds of Lawful money of New England, paid by Thomas Smith of Boston,

Blacksmith. All that a Certaine peice or parcel of Land, beach and fflatts, Scituate lying and being in Boston,

near unto the Sconce, . . . . soe farr as the said Lyfords propriety Doth runnor Extend."

Francis Lyford married his second wife in Exeter, N.H., and I find in Exeter, N.H., Deeds that "ffrancis

Leyford" of Exeter, Mariner, bought, 29 Oct. 1683, of Robert Tufton Mason, Esqr., sixty acres of land in Exeter,

known as "Samuel Dudley's great pasture," and fifteen acres of marsh land adjoining; also "7 acres in Sheep

pasture on side of Samuel Dudley deceased his house." He was to pay an annual rental of thirteen shillings lawful

money of New England and one shilling for every dwelling house (more than one).

Francis Lyford was selectman of Exeter in 1689 and 1690.

In a list of persons in Exeter who had received grants of land from the town, under date of 28 March 1698,

appears Francis Lyford as having 200 acres. During King William's war, Francis Lyford served from 6 Feb.,

1696, to 5 March, 1696, in Capt. Kinsley Hall's Company of militia in Exeter.

In New Hampshire Provincial Papers, Vol. II, p. 79, appears the following Custom House Return:

"Custom House in New Hampshire, Portsmouth in New England, October 14th, 1692, Clearings outward,

Boston.
 

Francis Lyford, Comr of the Sloop Elizabeth, of Exeter, of 20 tunns burthen or thereabouts, wth noe gunns,

14000 of trunnells, 1500 ft of Pine plancks & joyce."
 

"Exeter the 21 feburary, 1710. A noat of disburstsments. This are to Enforme whome it may Concern that

francis Lyford of Exetter hade his Slope Imprest by Capt. John Perkins of Portsmouth and promised to pay six

seamans families & goods in said slope with several more unknown to me" (N.H. Provincial Papers, Vol. XI, p.

645).
 

"On Saturday, 14 May, 1709. --- Province of New Hampshire at a Council & General assembly. Whereas,

Mr. Francis Lyford, of Exeter, was lately chosen Constable, to serve this present year, but being acted Very

infirm by sundry ailments, whereby he seems very unfil for that service; Voted that the town of Exeter forthwith

OTHER RESEARCHERS

Obtained in 1997, from Valerie Hannington, formerly a paid genealogy researcher, who is a Lyford relative:

On page 160 of the Chancory Lane Public Record Office listing there's a passenger list that shows a Francis

Lyford leaving for America in 1667. This Francis may be the son of John and Mary Lyford, from Steventon, in

Berkshire. He was born in 1641. Valerie traces her line to 1290, through the Steventon Lyfords. Thomas Lyford

begat Robert, born in 15??, in Stanford Dingley and married to Elizabeth in 1560, in Steventon. Their son,

William, was born in 1561. He married Elizabeth Smallbone in 1561. Their son, John, was born in 1603. He

married Mary and they had Francis in 1641.
 

MISC NOTES / QUESTIONS/ FOLLOWUP

LH's Note: Newer research than the following from the Genealogical Dictionary proves that Rev. John Lyford

died long before Francis was born. Two possibilities for the origin of Francis: (1) He was born in Berkshire,

England, and is not a grandson of Rev. John; (2) Francis is a grandson of Rev. John.
 

Another Note: If the following authors are correct, they tie Francis to the Rev. John's family. I wonder what else

I have in my files that I've ignored?
 

(1) History of the Dudley Family, Page 162

Mary, dau of Mary Byley, the second wife, married Dr. Samuel Hardy, son of Robt. of London, Eng., a

shopkeeper there, and had children; Abigail married Jonathan Watson of Dover, N. H.; Dorothy married Moses

Leavitt, of Exeter, land surveyor; Rebecca married Francis Lyford of Exeter; Elizabeth married Capt. Kinsley

Hall, a Counsellor and Judge of the Highest Court; Lyford and Leavitt came from Hingham, Mass., about 1658,

from which town the Gilmans and Folsoms had came...
 

(2) And then this: Genealogical Dictionary of New England Settlers, Volume 3, page 134:

Lyford, Francis, Boston, a mariner, m. a. 1670, a d. of Thomas Smith, and rem. to New Hampsh. and there m. 21

Nov. 1681, Rebecca, d. of Rev. Samuel Dudley. The name is perpet. JOHN, Plymouth 1624, came that yr. prob.

in the charity with Edard (sic) Windslow, bring. w. and ch. prob. four, soon bred disturbance, and was forced to

leave; went to preach to the fishermen at Nantasket, and next at Cape Ann, and thence, Felt thinks, he accomp.

Conant, 1626, to Naumkeag; but a. 1627 rem. with some adherens (sic) to Virg. and there d. soon, it is thot. A

reasona. conject. is, that he had w. Ann and ch. Ruth and Mordecai left at Nantasket, and that his wed. Ann, wh.

d. July 1639, had m. Edmund Hobart of Hingham. Ruth, in 1641, and Mordecai, next yr. give to him discharge,

as their stepfather, of certain tobacco and other chattels, in the will of their f. John, giv. to them. Ruth m. 19 Apr.

1643, [p.134] James Bates. Mordecai, Hingham 1642, s. of John, of whom I would gladly kn. more.
 

To confuse matters, some researchers believe our Francis was one of the following:

Francis Lyfford christened Pangbourne Berkshire, Eng 23 July 1642, father William Lyfford

Francis Liford christened Steventon, Berkshire 30 Jan 1641 father is John

And this may be a relative, father, uncle or??: Francis Lyford christened 27 July 1617, Stanford Dingley,

Berkshire, Eng, father Thomas (there's a line of Francis Lyfords in Stanford Dingley going back to the 1500's.
 

Yikes! What does it all mean? Was Francis from a Berkshire family, a relative of Rev. John, who came to

America and lived in Hingham with his cousins? Was he the son of Mordecai Lyford, son of Rev. John? Was

there more than one Francis (unlikely, given no other mentions)? What about Virkus, who says Francis came

from London to Boston in 1667 or researcher Valerie Hannington who says there is a PRO record showing

Francis Liford of Steventon sailing from England in 1667? Was he born in US, then went to London to see

relatives and came back? Did he go to London to buy a ship; he was a mariner?
 

LH visited the house that Francis Lyford built in 1681, in Exeter, NH, for his new wife Rebecca Dudley.

As of 1997, it was still a private residence. It sits above the river that flows through Exeter and to the sea,

allowing his to dock his sloop within sight of his house.
 

The Lyford name (originally designating a person "of Lyford") is of chapelry in the parish of West Hannay,

Berkshire, England. As early as 1273, the Hundred Rolls of County Oxford record one John de Lyford. The

question: does Francis come from this line?

History of the Dudley Family, Page 162

For several generations the Dudleys there were generally satisfied with common school instruction. According to

Belknap's History of New Hampshire, Rev. Samuel Dudley was a gentleman of "good capacity and learning."
 

I have already mentioned the marriage of his eldest daughter. There were five other daughters living when he

died, all of whom were married, and all have posterity now scattered over the world. There were seven sons

living, of whom five married, and two of them left posterity, one having posterity of other names, and one both of

his own and other names.
 

Mary, dau of Mary Byley, the second wife, married Dr. Samuel Hardy, son of Robt. of London, Eng., a

shopkeeper there, and had children; Abigail married Jonathan Watson of Dover, N. H.; Dorothy married Moses

Leavitt, of Exeter, land surveyor; Rebecca married Francis Lyford of Exeter; Elizabeth married Capt. Kinsley

Hall, a Counsellor and Judge of the Highest Court; Lyford and Leavitt came from Hingham, Mass., about 1658,

from which town the Gilmans and Folsoms had came; Stephen married 1st, Sarah Gilman, dau. of Hon. John, a

Judge, Royal Councillor, and Speaker of the Colonial Assembly. Samuel's wife was called "Hannah." These were

the only sons that left children. Byley married Elizabeth, dau. of Mr. Moses Gilman, the first Moses; James

married Elizabeth, daughter of Sam'l Leavitt, half-brother to Moses Leavitt; Theophilus Dudley never married;

Thomas married "Mary," but soon died, leaving no progeny; Timothy died young and unmarried.

A Francis Lyford is buried in the Gilman Family Cemetery, Gilmanton, NH 45, Abstract of Graves of

Revolutionary Patriots, Vol. 3, Serial: 10950; volume: 13.

This is probably the grandson of this Francis, but is most certainly in the line of Francis born 1641-42.

Beware of Gene Pool data! It's often not accurate.
 

viii. MARY LYFORD9, b. 16839.
 

Notes for MARY LYFORD:

Gene Pool record shows Mary born in Newbury, Mass, but Francis and Rebecca lived in Exeter then.

Then shows Mary born 1693. Third, Gene Pool shows Mary as daughter of Elizabeth, but born in 1692, more

than a decade after death of Elizabeth. Don't trust Gene Pool records!

-----------------------------------

History of the Dudley Family with Genealogical Tables, Pedigrees, & C

Biley Dudley, Esq., gave most of his estate to his wife, and his name-sake Byley Lyford, grandson of his half

sister Rebecca Dudley and her husband Francis Lyford. There was a child named for him, or, at least, that

afterwards bore the name of "Byley Dudley," viz., the son of his nephew, Nicholas Dudley4. That Byley Dudley

was then three years old. Perhaps the widow of Byley3, Esq., at a later day remembered the young namesake in

her will. It was a great fashion to give bequests to namesakes, and had been for hundreds of years. It did not seem

to strike the good people of ancient times as wise or expedient to distribute their estates at their death equally

among their heirs. But we now consider that heirs of equal degree of relationship to the testator, have equal

claims upon his estate; and that he is unjust to those he slights or neglects without good cause. I cannot discern

why the ancients should not have had the same idea of justice, unless they took Providence as their pattern and

exemplar, or what they called Providence.
 

In the early Town Papers of Exeter, I find Byley Dudley's name on Captain Kinsley Hall's Pay Roll, 1696--of

Prest men of Exeter who served His Majesty at Oyster River, 1695.
 

WILL OF BYLEY DUDLEY.

I, Biley Dudley, of Exeter, in the Province of New Hampshire in New England, being of sound mind and

memory, but ancient and infirm, and not knowing how soon God, in his Providence, may remove me hence, have

constituted and made, and, by these presents, do constitute, make, ordain, and declare this to be my last Will and

testament, hereby revoking and annulling all & every testament & will heretofore by me made or declared, either

by word or writing.
 

Imprimis: I commend my Soul into the hands of Almighty God, my maker, expecting free and full remission in

and through the merits of my blessed Saviour, and my body unto a decent burial, as my Executor in prudence

shall see meet. 2dly, I give and bequeath unto my beloved kinsman, Theophilus Hardy, immediately after mine

and my wife's decease, about three acres of flatts lying against that which was James Dudley's land, to be to him

and his heirs forever, provided that my 2d wife hath not occasion to dispose of it otherwise in her lifetime.

3dly, I give and bequeath unto my beloved Kinsman, Biley Lyford, son of Stephen Lyford, immediately after my

and my wife's decease, my dwelling house and barn and all my lands, marsh and flats, lying between Stanyan's

brook and the Lary's land, and bounded on the west by the highway, and Eastwardly, by the river, & also about

sixteen acres of land on the west side of the way, near Thomas Lyford's house, to be to him and his heirs forever,

provided that my sd. wife, Elizabeth Dudley, hath not occasion to dispose of the same otherwise.

Notes for JOSEPH LYFORD:

These are the Family Tree Maker Notes Pages of Lyford Hale (lyfordhale at greend.com):
 

This Joseph was the first mayor of Neponset.

The Lyfords moved from New Hampshire to Neponset in 1834 or 1836. Neponset is in Bureau County. From

the booklet: "Neponset's One Hundred Years- 1855 to 1955." (See Grandma Clyde's Who's Who book; she says

1834. She says Joe, Jr. came to Illinois in the 1850's. Does this mean whole family didn't move together?)

Most of the first citizens were from England. "Among those who came from the east were ... Lyfords ....

Robinsons .... After the Civil War, Mr. Wm. McKie came and for many years was C.B. & O agent. In an old

record we read that he was also tax collector and the taxpayers were urged to go to the depot to pay their taxes

(Thomas Otley's daughter by second wife married a McKie).
 

The Methodist church was formed in 1841. It was in the "Kewanee circuit," a minister coming to Neponset every

four weeks...In 1889 the young People's Alliance was organized...This soon became the Epworth League. A few

years later the Junior League was organized ( with Clyde Lyford as an officer).

"Our present form of Village Government was instituted back in 1866, when a petition signed by 34 voters call all

legal voters to a meeting...At this meeting W.A.P. Blanchard was made chairman and Joseph Lyford,

secretary....Another meeting was set for the 21st." Joseph Lyford was second highest vote getter to be on the first

Council. "At a special election in 1882, electors voted to incorporate as a Village. The next April the following

men were elected: Joseph Lyford ...."
 

"The first real school house was built in 1858. In 1861 a larger building was erected on that site. A five-room

school was built in 1864 on the present site of Neponset Grade School. Miss Addie Graves was the first school

teacher.
 

"The school system was organized into a four-year high school in 1910...the board members were .... M.H.

Lyford...." Moses Lyford continued to be active in school matters, showing up again in 1921-22 records as a

board member."
 

1877 records list Joseph Lyford as "merchant and grain dealer." "During the early 1870's Joseph Lyford, pioneer

merchant and lumber dealer, established a brickyard on the site where the village dump is now located. This

industry flourished and at the height of its production employed 15 men. There were several large kilns and

sheds. Later, Mr. Lyford sold the business..M.H. Lyford remains the only living person in this community who

was employed at this yard."

Pages 26 and 27 hold the letter of a J.S. Robinson, resident of the area. Page 27 also tells of Robert Otley

importing the first thoroughbred cow into the country, for which he paid $1,100 when cows were selling for $10.

His brother, George, brought in two Shorthorn cows for $3000 each and they were later sold for slaughter

because they did not produce offspring.

A David Robinson is listed on page 32, belonging to the Neponset Masonic Lodge in 1865. A "Cap" Robinson is

listed on page 40. A Robinson was mayor in about 1925.
 

From 1877 list of Neponset voters and taxpayers:

Jos. Lyford, farmer and ex-merchant

J. Lyford, farmer

Thomas C. Otley, farmer

George Otley, farmer

George Robinson, farmer

Wm. Robinson, laborer
 

Victor Lyford was the first secretary of the Floral Hill Cemetery Company, 1885.

In 1920 M.H. Lyford was a director. Moses "has served continuously as a director of the association since its

inception."
 

Page 46 says there was a business: Robinson & Stuart, cement blocks.

Page 49 says the original members of the Neponset Fire Company, organized in 1886 included A.M. Robinson.

In 1893, A.M. was chief. M.H. Lyford was on the fire district board of trustees in 1895. Scott Lyford joined in

1901.

Joseph was a 49er. Came back to Neponset in 1855. He or his father had a number of the first businesses in

town. See notes on his father.
 

In 1867 Joseph joined the Methodist Church and served on the Board of Trustees.

Was one of first Board of Education Members and was a town supervisor.
