• Notes

  NOTABLE: One of the original founders of Scituate, MA. Arrived in Plymouth in the ship Ann, 1623. Returned to England and immigrated with family in 1632. He was one of the Conihassett Partners. In 1625, a group of "Merchant Adventurers" from Kent, England led by Timothy Hatherly departed for the new world reached only a few years earlier by the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony. Hatherly was one of the adventurers who had financed the Plymouth colony in what is now southeast Massachusetts. When he returned to England in 1628 he left his nephew, Edward Foster, to keep him informed of affairs in Plymouth. Hatherly returned in 1632 to Plymouth carrying a grant from King James for all of the land beginning from the boundary of the Pilgrims' expanding colony north all the way to the southernmost beaches of what would become Boston Harbor. This land at the time was known by its Indian name - Conihasset. As a result, the grant from King James has become known in history as the Conihasset Grant. In 1633, the Colony Court ordered this tract of land be set aside and granted to James Shirley, John Beauchamp, Richard Andrews, and Timothy Hatherly. As time went on, much of the land covered in the original Conihasset Grant had gone fallow and remained undeveloped. To rectify this situation of neglect, Hatherly proposed to buy out the other landholders from the original grant in 1646. The price was 180 pounds. To finance the acquisition, Hatherly raised money from 30 investors and formed a stock company, who called themselves "Conihasset Partners," which operated as a for-profit company and de facto government for the next 121 years. Lydia was his third wife. Timothy's will, dated 12 Dec 1664, proved 30 Oct 1666, named his wife Lydia; Edward Jenkins, his wife and children; Nicholas Wade, his wife and children ; Susanna, wife of William Brooks, and children; Timothy and Elizabeth Foster; Thomas Hanford; Fear, the wife of Samuel Baker, and the other three children of Isaac Robinson, John, Isaac, and Mercy; Lydia Garrett, his wife's daughter, and her four children; George Sutton, his wife and children; the wife of William Bassett, his wife's daughter; widow Preble, his wife's daughter, Lydia Lapham; Thomas Lapham; Stephen Tilden; Nicholas Baker, "my man Thomas Savory"; and Lydia Hatch, daughter of William Hatch; with his friend Joseph Tilden as executor (Mayflower Descendant 16:158).
