Notes |
- John Bancroft sold his holdings in Swarkeston in preparation for emigration´uª0 ´uª0 to New England but´uª0 ´uª0 died in 1635 before he could make the trip. His widow, Anne,´uª0 ´uª0 came to New England, possibly with´uª0 ´uª0 Nathaniel Sowther who was a witness to John's will´uª0 ´uª0 and overseer of his estate. She moved with her´uª0 ´uª0 family from Massachusetts to´uª0 ´uª0 Southampton, Long Island. Her children, John, Thomas, and Anna,´uª0 ´uª0 later moved to the´uª0 ´uª0 Connecticut Valley.
´uª0 John's younger brother, Thomas, a poet and author in England, wrote of his brother:
´uª0 You sold your land the lighter hence to go
´uª0 To foreign coasts, yet (Fate would have it so)
´uª0 Did ne'er New England reach. but went with them
´uª0 That journey toward New Jerusalem.
