PRESERVED PURITAN
RALPH HEMINGWAY
ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Roxbury
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: "Ralph Hinningway a man servant" admitted to Roxbury church as member #96, among those admitted in 1633 [RChR 79].
FREEMAN: 3 September 1634 (as "Ralfe Hiningway") [MBCR 1:369].
EDUCATION: Made his mark to his will. Inventory included "Bible and other books" valued at 8s.
ESTATE: In the Roxbury land inventory of about 1652, "Ralph Hemmingway" held eight parcels of land, all of which were granted by the town: two and a half acres with house, barn and garden; three and a half acres in Black Neck; one acre in the Calve's Pasture; one acre and a half of salt marsh; eight acres of land; two acres of fresh meadow; twenty-four and a half acres "exchanged with John Roberts for so much of his lot lying in the Second Allotment in the Last Division being the second lot there"; and sixteen acres in the Thousand Acres near Dedham [RBOP 28].
In his will, dated 4 May 1677 and proved 11 July 1678, "Ralph Hemenway ... being aged ... and having bodily weaknesses and infirmities increasing upon me" bequeathed to "Elizabeth my wife" my whole estate during her natural life in the hand of "my son John Hemenway" to improve for her comfort; after her decease, to "my son Samuel Hemenway" 20s. paid by my son John Hemenway "and the reason why I do give him no more is because I look upon my self indebted and engaged unto my son John Hemenway who hath taken care of me and my wife in our age and knowing that God hath dealt bountifully with my son Samuel I desire him to accept my love in this legacy"; to "my son Joseway Hemenway" my piece of land in the upper Calf Pasture, also a piece of salt marsh in Black Neck; to "my son John Hemenway" all my other lands and housing and cattle and moveables after my wife's death; to "my daughter Elizabeth Holbrook" ¹8 in four years time, 40s. [a year]; to "my daughter Ruth" ¹12 in six years, 40s a year; son John Hemenway and "my loving friend Samuel Williams" executors [SPR 6:239].
The inventory of the estate of "Ralph Hemenway of Roxbury who deceased the month of June 1678" was taken 15 June 1678 and totalled ¹170 19s. 6d., of which ¹150 was real estate: "house and orchard & homelot," ¹50; "one acre and quarter of land in the upper calves pasture," ¹15; "three acres of land in the Black Neck," ¹18; "two acres of salt marsh," ¹20; "eight acres of woodland at the Eight Acre Lots," ¹8; "eight acres of pasture ground at the Great Lots," ¹20; "twenty-four acres of woodlands lying between Hollesen and the place commonly called Clapboard Hill," ¹12; "three acres of fresh meadows," ¹5; and "sixteen acres of land in the Thousand Acres," ¹2 [SPR 12:213-14].
BIRTH: By about 1609 based on date of marriage.
DEATH: Roxbury in June 1678 (inventory).
MARRIAGE: Roxbury 5 July 1634 Elizabeth Hewes [RVR MS 128]; she was probably the "[blank] Hues a maid servant" admitted to Roxbury church as member #102, at the end of 1633 or beginning of 1634 [RChR 80]; she died Roxbury "Widow of Ralph Sr., 2 January 1684/5, age 82 years" and was buried as "old widow Hinningway" Roxbury 3 February 1685/6 [RChR 186]. (The burial as recorded by Eliot is a year, a month and a day after the date of death as given in the town records; Eliot's dates are usually more reliable. Pope, perhaps in an effort to resolve this discrepancy, erroneously states that wife Elizabeth d. Feb. 4, 1684, aged 82.)
CHILDREN (all born Roxbury):
i MARY, b. 24 April 1635 [RVR MS 1]; bur. 4 April 1634 [sic] [RVR MS 96].
ii SAMUEL, b. __ June 1636 [RVR MS 1]; m. New Haven 23 March 1661/2 Sarah Cooper [NHVR 1:19].
iii RUTH, b. 21 September 1638 [RVR MS 2]; bur. Roxbury 18 July 1684 [RChR 185]. (On 28 July 1674 Edward Peggy was in Suffolk Court for "using indirect means by powders or other ways unlawful to engage the affections or desires of women kind to him & for begetting Ruth Henningway of Roxbury with child," and at the same court "Ruth Henningway is ordered to renew her bonds for her appearance at the next Court" [SCC 1:485-6]. On 24 September 1674 Ruth Hemingway was excommunicated from Roxbury church [RChR 212]. "Ralph Henningway" and Joshua "Hews" Sr. went to court 27 October 1674 and declared that "Ruth Henningway" was "not yet delivered" and they desired the case be continued until next court [SCC 1:517].)
iv JOHN, b. 27 April 1641 [RVR MS 3]; m. Dorchester 6 October 1665 Mary Trescott [DVR 21].
v JOSHUA, bp. 9 April 1643 [RChR 114]; m. (1) Roxbury 16 January 1667[/8] Joanna Evans; m. (2) Mary _____ (Mary, the wife of Joshua Hemingway Sr., d. Roxbury, 5 May 1703); m. (3) Roxbury 5 April 1704 Elizabeth Weeks.
vi ELIZABETH, b. 31 May 1645 [RVR Ms 5]; bp. 8 June 1645 [RChR 116]; m. (1) Dorchester 24 November 1663 John Holbrook [DVR 21]; m. (2) Roxbury 22 May 1679 Richard Hall [TAG 67:8-10].
vii MARY, b. 7 April 1647 [RVR Ms 6]; bp. 18 April 1647 [RChR 117]; bur. Roxbury 21 December 1653.
ASSOCIATIONS: Elizabeth Hewes was the sister of Lt. JOSHUA HEWES, and of Phebe (Hewes) Gorde of Roxbury. The mother of these three Hewes children was Mary Foote [TAG 53:206].
COMMENTS: Pope gives a daughter Mary born 7 April 1644, but this daughter does not appear on the Roxbury records, and note that the second Mary born to Ralph Hemingway was born on 7 April three years later.
