Disputed Origins

Richard Kimball is said to have been christened 10 April 1595 in Rattlesden, Suffolk England, but:

  • Robert Anderson does not identify such a christening in The Great Migration.
  • a transcription of Rattlesden baptisms does not list such a christening. There is a christening on that date, but for someone else entirely.

Two theories exist for the parents of Richard Kimball

  1. Many online family trees claim his parents were Henry Kimball and Joann Eisely/Eyesley. This appears to be based on the 1589 baptism of a daughter Rachel to this couple, with the assumption that they must have had other children, Richard (and Henry) being of them.
  2. Robert Charles Anderson (in TGM IV:154, "Henry Kemball", citing Kimball Family of America (1890), p 17) argues for Richard Kemball/Kimball (brother of Henry, above?) and Elizabeth as the parents of both immigrants Henry Kemball and Richard Kimball, who he also claims as brothers:
"The identity of the father of this immigrant Henry Kemball is based on geography and occupation. In his will proved on 10 September 1619, Richard Kemball of Lawford, Essex, wheelwright, bequeathed to "my eldest son [implying there was at least one younger son] Henry Kemball all my working tools belonging to my trade except out of them as many as hall be fitting for to serve to axe a cart withall". The immigrant Henry Kimball had his first two children baptized at Mistley, Essex, immediately adjacent to Lawford. We do not know the occupation of the immigrant Henry Kimball, but we do know that his brother Richard Kimball was a wheelwright, as were some of his sons."

It is the policy of WikiTree's Puritan Great Migration project to follow R. C. Anderson in "The Great Migration" until more authoritative research or sources are located to indicate otherwise. Please use g2g to discuss.

Biography

NEHGR 28:241 says this: "As to the Kimballs, Mr. M.A. Stickney, of Salem, has kindly given me the following particulars: Richard1 Kimball and Ursula, his wife, came in the Elizabeth of Ipswich, in 1634... With them came Martha Scott, aged 60, and Thomas Scott, aged 40, who were probably the mother and brother of Richard's wife as he calls Martha Scott his mother in records.
Anderson's Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Vol. IV, I-L, p 157 says this: "MARRIAGE: (1) By 1615 Ursula Scott, daughter o Henry Scott of Rattlesden, Suffolk (in his will of 24 September 1623, Henry Scott included bequests to 'Abigail Kemball my grandcihld,' to 'my grandchild Henry Kemball' and to 'grandchildren Elizabeth and Richard Kemball [NEHGR 52:248, citing 'Bury Wills, Book Pearle, L., 117"; Phoebe Tilton Anc 117-20]."

He was certainly in the parish of Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England, at the time of his son's christening, as is shown by the following entry on the parish register:

"Henry Kemball ye sonne of Richard and Vrsula his wife baptized 1615 12 of August."[1]

Emigration

Richard Kemball, his wife Ursual, and seven of their children (Henry, 15; Richard, 11; Mary, 9; Martha, 5; John, 3; Thomas, 1; Elizabeth, 13, is found with the Raynor children) embarked on the Elizabeth of Ipswich the last of April in 1634, the adults taking the Oath of Allegiance at the Ipswich Customs House before sailing.[2] They traveled with extended family members who also appear on the list.

The original Ipswich Custom House documents have been imaged and can be found at FindMyPast. The adults are found on folio 102 (p. 1) and the children on folios 104-05 (pp. 3-4).[3]

Coat of Arms?

While a coat of arms exists for a Kimball family from the county of Cumberland, England, there is evidence that the Suffolk county Kemball family never had such a coat of arms. The Cumberland coat of arms takes its origin from a parish of that name upon the Scottish border. Arms: Argent (Silver) a lion rampant, gules (Red) upon a chief (Sable) three crescents of gold. Crest: A lion rampant holding in the dexter paw a dagger au proper. Motto: "Fortis non ferox".[4]

Life in New England

Richard Kimball settled first at Watertown, Massachusetts, in a different part of town from Henry Kemball. His home lot is thus given by Dr. Henry Bond:  :"Richard Kimball, six acres, bounded on the north by Cambridge, east by the land of W. Hamlet, south by the highway, and west by land of Edward White."

This lot was situated a long way from the centre of the town. It is now in Cambridge, which many years ago annexed the eastern part of Watertown. The lot was situated near what is now the corner of Huron avenue and Appleton street, and near springs of water.

He was proclaimed freeman on 6 May 1635, and was a proprietor in 1636-7. Soon after this date he was invited to remove to Ipswich, where they were in need of a competent man to act as wheelwright to the new settlement. Here he spent the remainder of his days. The town granted him a house lot, 23 Feb 1637, "next adjoining Goodwin Simons at the west end of the town." He was also granted at the same time "40 acres Beyond the North Riuer near the land of Robert Scott." In 1639 he had liberty to pasture "two cows free." On "the last day of the last month 1641" he is mentioned as "Among the Commoners of Ipswich." He was appointed one of the seven men on 1 Mar 1645. On the "22nd day of the tenth mo. 1647" he was allowed two Pounds for killing two foxes.

19 Dec 1648, he contributed with others three shillings as his annual proportion toward the sum of £27, 7s, as a rate for the service of their military leader, Major David Dennison, then commander of the military forces of Essex and Norfolk counties.

In September, 1652, he was one of the appraisers of the estate of John Cross, one of the earliest settlers of Ipswich.

On the "25th day, 11 mo 1652," he and his son Richard, Wheelwrights, "for £14, seel 30 acres upland bounding on the land of Mr. John Winthrop," also another lot of land of ten acres of "medow." 1653 he was one of a committee of three to survey fences in the common fields north of the river. His brother-in-law, Thomas Scott, died Feb. 1653-4 and he was joint executor with Edmund Bridges of his will. On May 25, 1654, their official position was recognized by Thomas Scott, Jr., then a resident of Stamford, Conn.

Richard KEMBALL sen'r, & Joseph FOWLER, both of Ipswich, wheelwright & husbandman, in the county of Essex, in New England, do bind ourselves, heirs & executors, to Humphry BRADSTREETE of Rowley, in the same county, in the full & just sume of fifty pounds, for to secure the said Humohrey, his heirs, executors & administrators, from all charges & incumbrances touching the horse that the s'd Humphry BRADSTREETE, hath sould me, and recovered from Zacheus GOULD, in December 1649, witness our hand. Richard KIMBALL (the marke of). Joseph FOWLER. Signed, sealed & del'd in the presence of these, 3 of the 01 month, dat. 1653, witnes Matha WILLIMS. John BRADSTREETE.

In 1660 he was granted the right "to fell 20 white oak trees to make wheels for the townsmen their use." In 1664 he owned 43 shares in "Plumb Island."

Richard Kimball "Sr." died June 22, 1675 in Ipswich,[5] having previously made his will and set his earthly affairs in order. He was then over eighty years of age.

Family

Richard Kimball married (first) by the 1615 baptism of their first child, Ursula Scott, mother of all his children, daughter of Henry Scott of Rattlesden, Suffolk County, England; Ursula was baptised at Rattlesden 14 Feb 1596-7.[6]

Some online trees claim that the marriage took place 23 OCT 1611/2 in St. Nicholas Church, Suffolk, England.[citation needed] However, Ursula would have been only 14 as of that date. Not impossible but not at all common.

NOTE: The St. Nicholas Church published its records; there is no such marriage recorded there.

Ursula's father, Henry Scott, left a will (made "24 Sept. 1625 in the 21st year of James of England by Henry Scott of Rattlesden in the Co. of Suffolk and the diocese of Norwich" and proved in the court of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury 10 January 1624-5 [must be 1626].) which serves to establish the relationship between the families:

"To Abigale Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Henrie Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Elizabeth Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21 to Richard Kemball my grandchild twenty shillings to be paid at 21."

Henry Scott was buried in Rattlesden 24 Dec. 1624. (Parish Register.) Henry Scott's will also mentions his wife Martha, and sons Roger and Thomas Scott.

Thomas Scott came with his wife, Elizabeth (Strutt) Scott and children to this country on the same ship as Richard Kimball and his family, and they brought Martha (Whatlock) Scott with them. Elizabeth Strutt was also of Rattlesden; her parents were probably Christopher and Anne (Waller) Strutt. She married Thomas Scott at Rattlesden, 20 Jul 1620. Among the children of Thomas Scott was Elizabeth, bapt. 18 Nov 1623, in Suffolk, and given in the shipping list as 9 years of age. This Elizabeth Scott married in Rowley, Massachusetts in 1647, John Spofford, from an ancient Yorkshire family (pre-dating 106, according to the records). John Spofford was the son of another John Spofford, who, in 1662, lost his ministery in Silkston, Yorkshire for "non-conformity." He was, of course, a Puritan. A daughter of John and Elizabeth (Scott) Spofford, Sarah Spofford, born 22 Mar 1661-2, married Richard Kimball(3). The passengers on the Elizabeth were very much an inter-related group; it also included Munnings, undoubtedly related to Richard Kimball.

Ursula (Scott) Kimball apparently died in Ipswich 1 Mar 1660, although another record gives her death as 17 June 1656.[citation needed]

Richard Kimball married second, 23 Oct 1661, Margaret (Cole) Dow, widow of Henry Dow of Hamptom, New Hampshire. There were no children from this marriage, although, from his will, Richard evidently held Margaret Dow's children from her first marriage in great affection.[7]

Children

Richard and Ursula had eleven children. The first eight were born in Rattlesden Parish, Suffolk county, England, the ninth at Watertown, Massachusetts, the last two at Ipswich:

  1. Abigail, listed first in her grandfather's 1625 will, died June 17, 1658; married John Severans; she died in Salisbury, Massachusetts, mother of twelve children. Not on the "Elizabeth" passenger list; may have been married by that time.
  2. Henry, listed second in his grandfathers 1625 will, married, about 1640, Mary, daughter of John and Mary Wyatt, a passenger on the "Elizabeth" with him in 1634; married (second) Elizabeth (Gilbert) Rayner, a widow; Henry was a resident of Watertown, Ipswich, and Wenham, Massachusetts; thirteen children.
  3. Elizabeth, listed third in her grandather's 1625 will, born about 1621; living and still single ? in 1675.
  4. Richard, listed fourth (and last) in grandfather's 1625 will
  5. Mary, born probably shortly after Sept 1625 (not named in her grandfather's Sept 162 will); married Robert Dutch, of Gloucester and Ipswich, Massachusetts; six children.
  6. Martha, married before January 1650 Joseph Fowler;[8] he was killed by the Indians, May 19, 1676.[9][10][11]
  7. John, born about 1631, died May 6, 1698; was a wheelwright and an extensive farmer, about 1655 married Mary Bradstreet, born in England, 1633; they came to America on the same ship in 1634; thirteen children.
  8. Thomas, born about 1633, died May 2, 1676; was a mechanic and thrifty farmer, owning over four hundred acres of land and a large amount of personal property; on the night of May 2, 1676, at his home in Rowley, on the Boxford road, he was killed by three Indians, his wife and five children [trobert ?] taken captive and carried forty miles into the wilderness where they were kept forty-one days when they were freed; Thomas married Mary, daughter of Thomas and Joanna Smith; nine children.
  9. Caleb was born about 1635; married Anna Hazelton, daughter of Robert Hazelton at Ipswich on November 7, 1660.[12]
  10. Benjamin was born about 1637. Married Mercy Hazelton, daughter of Robert Hazelton at Salisbury on April 16, 1661.[12]
  11. Sarah, born about 1635, died June 12, 1690; married, November 24, 1658, Edward Allen, of Ipswich.
Note: R. C. Anderson in "The Great Migration" has Henry Kimball as the oldest child; bp. Rattlesden, Suffolk on 12 August 1615. m. (1st) Mary Riddlesdale dau. of Edward Riddlesdale. m. (2nd by 1675 Elizabeth (Black) (Gilbert) Raynor, daughter of John Black and widow of Humphrey Gilbert & Wm. Raynor. Abigail as 2nd oldest b. say 1617; m. John Severance. She may have been the Abigail Kimball baptized at Hitcham, Suffolk on Nov. 5, 1617.[12]

The last two children are not included in the list of children, Benjamin and Caleb. Also, Anderson, Robert Charles et al., The Great Migration Parish Web Mapping, www.nehgs.org, indicate that he was from Rattlesden parish, Suffolk, England if you want to use that source.

The image of him should be detached unless someone can produce reliable evidence that it is actually an image of him. The person who posted the image did not provide a source or explanation and has been inactive for 4 years. I could find no support for this image on the internet, apart from its usage for him on familysearch.

I agree, the likelihood of this being an image of this Richard is slim to none.

Re: the image, a Joane Landers posted this link where the image appears over the signature "Joseph Kimball" https://archive.org/details/genealogicalfami01stea/page/n17/mode/2up?q=kimball the books is a family history of New Hampshire so I'd agree with removing the image normally, but with the number of Josephs in the text I'm not sure which Joseph this is supposed to be. A descendant of Richard apparently, at any rate. In order not to lose it, maybe just add an appropriate source and description?

One of RIchard Scott's descendants became a Latter Day Saints prophet. As such, I would think that they would be a reliable source for Kimball information. But I would still be careful if you look there for answers. They don't redact information sent in by others. They just record and post it via their files.

If Margaret had children with Richard, then those children would be half-siblings to her Dow children. But she and Richard had no children. All of Richard's children were by his first wife. So Margaret's Dow children are only step-siblings to Richard's children.

Question is .. she had sons. Why are they not listed as half ?

Michelle, The explanation for why we've chosen parents Richard and Elizabeth over Henry and Joanna is in the biography. Mostly because Puritan Great Migration Project generally uses the conclusions of Anderson.

Question !

I have Richard Kimball born 10.04.1595 in Rattlesden as son of Henry Kemball & Joanna Eysley & brother of Henry 1590-1684; both travelled together in April 1634; do you have access to birth records in England ?

Kemball-58 and Kimball-60 appear to represent the same person because: The two profiles have the same wife

Kemball-58 and Kimball-60 do not represent the same person because: Assume different people

Kemball-58 and Kimball-60 appear to represent the same person because: This stray set of profiles (spouses Unknown-373914 and Kemball-58) were once assigned as parents of Elizabeth Kemball-59, age 13, who sailed on the Elizabeth 1634. Since Elizabeth's parents have been discovered, these former parents should also be merged.

Kimball is spelling used by Anderson. Kemball is spelling used on sons bpt and passenger list.
