Research Notes:
immigrated in 1630 in Gov. Winthrop's Fleet, with brother John and wife Alice
[Ref: Banks Winthrop p85]
immigrated in 1630, origin unknown, to Charlestown and later Malden. [Ref:
Anderson GreatMigrationI p1419]
came probably in the fleet with Gov. Winthrop [Ref: Sav-age PEMBERTSON James]
Eleven vessels, five arrived Salem June 13 and following days; other half
arrived July various dates. Altogether about 700 passengers, including
James & Alice PEMBERTON, also John & Elizabeth PEMBERTON [Ref: Banks Planters
p65]
requested admission as freeman Oct 19 1630, but never took the oath and does
not appear [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1419, Pope PioneersMA p352, Sav-age
PEMBERTON James]
no record in New England between Sep 1630 and 1638. This gap, and especially
the fact that he was not made a freeman in May 1631, suggests that he returned
to England for some portion of these years. There is even a possibility that
the 1630 man is not the same as the one who appeared in 1633 in Charlestown
[Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1420]
Dec 1633: admitted as an inhabitant of Charlestown [Ref: Anderson
GreatMigrationI p1420]

1637: five acres of land Mystic Side [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1419]
1637: 2.5 cow commons [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1419]
Mar 12 1637/8: "James Pemberton is referred to the committee of the next
Court about the ground which he had at Nantascot" [Ref: Anderson
GreatMigrationI p1421]
Apr 23 1638: in Mystic Side allotments, received five shares as his first
proportion, second and third proportions illegible [Ref: Anderson
GreatMigrationI p1419]
May 2 1638: "There is ten acres of land granted to James Pemberton, part
of it the land formerly planted by him, & the rest joining to it at
Nantascot [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1421]
Dec 30 1638: In cow commons on stinted common, had 2.5 [Ref: Anderson

Governor Council and Assitants. The humble petition of James Pemberton,
Prudence Wilkinson widow, Lewis Hulett, George Feld, George Knower, John
Greenland, and Thomas Whittimore. The petitioners show that whereas they
having been heretofore inhabitants in Charlestown and could not there have
accommodation to live comfortably they were forced to crave leave of the Court
to build and plant upon Mystic Side which they did by the leave of the Court
aforesaid and have expended a great part of their estates therein. Some of
the town endeavoring to straighten the petitioners and to hinder others from
coming to them as they say, have procured diverse orders to be made in the
town meeting which to the petitioners are very prejudicdial... These things
your petitioners humbly desire the Court in their wisdom to consider and
to order that they may have a convenient common allowed them and may have
equal remedy in their said grievances [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p663]
perhaps moved to Hull for a short time, about 1647, but moved to Malden before
1661 [Ref: Sav-age PEMBERTON James]
Savage's claim that he moved to Hull and back to Malden is off by a decade,
and it is not certain that these records apply to the James Pemberton of
Charlestown [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1420]
May 12 1648: acknowledged that he had sold one stinted cow common to
Robert Hale of Charlestown [Ref: Anderson GreatMigrationI p1419]
