Research Notes:
immigrated 1634 to Ipswich, origin unknown [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationII
v1p52]
[WTM: apparently incorrect, see note from Great Migration I v1p55]
came to Ipswich, MA, 1635, from Norwich, Co Norfolk, England, owner and master
of the ship "Angel Gabriel". The Angel Gabriel was an armed ship that came as
a consort of the "James" Aug 1635, and both caught in a terrible storm, having
to part company. The "James" anchored near the Isles of Shoals, and the
"Angel Gabriel" off Pemaquid, Maine. A diary of Rev. Mather, gives account of
the disastrous gale, a it imperiled the "James" which arrived "rent in sunder
and split in pieces" in Boston. The "Angel Gabriel" was the first vessel that
miscarried with passengers from Old England to the New; built for Sir Walter
Raleigh, sailed from Bristol, England of 240 tons burden, carrying 16 guns
[Ref: AndrewsHF ANDREWS p41]
"Ten Years at Pemaquid" and Vols XXX & XXXIX Mass Archives quoted in [Ref:

Angel Gabriel of Bristol, 240 tons, ... Taylor, Master. Sailed for New
England in June and was wrecked at Pemaquid in August, but no lives were lost
[Ref: Banks Planters p160]
[WTM: apparently incorrect, see note from Great Migration I v1p55]
Among those rescued with Captain Andrewes and family, were his nephews John,
Thomas, and Robert Burnham, sons of his sister Mary, in his charge. Also a
London merchant, John Coggswell, to Ipswich. From records large grants were
given to both. [Ref: WaltersP WALTERS HOVEY-p26]
[WTM: apparently incorrect, see note from Great Migration I v1p55]
the ship in the fury of an easterly storm with her cargo were totally lost;
some of the passengers not escaping death. This shipwreck is chronicled as
one of the greatest disasters in the annals of Pemaquid. Pemaquid was about
fifty miles east of Portland, Maine, and was the patent granted to Aldsworth
and Elbridge, of Bristol, England, and includes the present towns of Bristol,
Newcastle, Damariscotta, and Nobleboro, Maine [Ref: AndrewsHF ANDREWS p42]
placed by various writers as a passenger on the ill-fated Angel Gabriel in
1635. However, this is a physical impossibility. He was admitted to
Massachusetts Bay freemanship on 6 May 1635, an event which implies his
arrival in New England by 1634 and which required his presence in New England
on 6 May 1635. The Angel Gabriel was riding at anchor near Bristol, England,
on 26 May 1635, and did not sail for New England until 4 June [Ref: Anderson

licensed to "keep ordinary (an inn) in the plantation where lives during the
pleasure of the court". It was agreed he might sell wine "if he so not
unwittingly sell to such as abuse it by drunkeness." It proved confidence in
his discretion and integrity. [Ref: WaltersP WALTERS HOVEY-p26]
license to keep an inn is the earliest reference to a public house in the
records of Ipswich [Ref: AndrewsHF ANDREWS p43]

will and names son, Lancelot, Bishop of Winchester, first in a list of 54 men
chosen to make the King James version of the Bible. It also names son Thomas,
brother-in-law William, and brother-in-law Robert. It is said William came to
Boston in 1633. "Genealogical Gleanings in England" Vol 1 p603 cited in [Ref:

Andrewes" [Ref: WaltersP WALTERS HOVEY-p26]

of the town, likewise six acres on the hill lying on the north side of town,
also an houselot in town near the river" [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationII

1640-41 in Ipswich, Robert ANDREWES was surveyor to transform crooked paths to
passable highways for ox-carts and primitive carriages, and detect
encroachments on the roads and enforce laws to repair by labor of all "youths
above 14 years of age." They could call all for one day's work with men &

The fact that he mentions John, son of Humphrey Griffin, as a legatee in will
strongly suggests that the legatee was a relative. Humphrey Griffin died at
Ipswich, Sep 16, 1662, leaving a widow, Elizabeth; his wife Joan died Jul 17
1657. Possibly the first wife may have been a kinswoman to Robert Andrews; a
sister perhaps. [Ref: AndrewsHF ANDREWS p46]
Thomas Howlett, designated as the guardian of his son, John, may have been
related, yet he does not so state. Howlett was one of the first settlers who
went to Ipswich with Mr. Winthrop, and his name is frequently mentioned in the
early records, from which it appears that Andrews and Howlett resided near
each other at Ipswich [Ref: AndrewsHF ANDREWS p46]
