ASSOCIATIONS: The defective entry in the 1623 Plymouth land division ha s "Manasseh & John Faunce" receiving two acres as passengers on the Anne in 1623, but "Kempton" has been omitted after "Manasseh." This has given rise to references to a non-existent "Manasseh Faunce" (see Phantom File), but when corrected is suggestive in other ways. Within four years after their association at the time of the land division, Manasseh Kempton had married the widow of GEORGE MORTON, and then six years after that Faunce married Kempton's stepdaughter. Faunce was nearly two decades younger than Kempton, and it may be that he came over in 1623 as Kempton's servant.
COMMENTS: Banks derives John Faunce from Stow Maries, Essex, citing onl y "Banks Mss." [Topo Dict 52]. DeForest, however, states that Banks also suggested the neighboring parish of Purleigh, Essex, "merely because the name Faunce is an unusual one and he was only able to find it in and around Perleigh" [Moore Anc 244]. Apparently no one has explored this clue any further.
Savage creates an extra child by interpreting the 29 November 1654 de ath date as applying to a non-existent son John, rather than to the immigrant himself.
John Faunce was one of the Purchasers of 1627 [PCR 2:177].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: A good account of John Faunce was published by DeFor est in his usual meticulous way [Moore Anc 244-47]. Rachel Barclay added some useful notes in 1962 [NEHGR 116:188-91].
