Nicholas PATCH Jr.

Born at Parish of  S. Petherton in Somersetshire near Burlescomb, England. Died, day of month from New Eng, Hist. Gen. Reg. v 111. Ron Patch has d. bef 16 Nov 1673.  Alt. d. date given in another rec. as 26 Nov 1673. Still another record gives b. 1595 and this has been used rather than the c. date.  The baptized date is 26 Jun 1597.  Came to America on the ship Mary & John in 1636.  Another source gives the ship as the "Defender."  Doris Amsbury's book gives the emigration as May 1622 aboard the Sparrow, which was part of Ketch's fleet of which 1/8 was owned by the Norcross family. Death location and burial may have been in Beverly, Salem, MA.  Amsbury book also has info. from the Beverly Historical Society.  Some of the many hardships and Indian troubles experienced by these early settlers are described in Charles Bolton's Real Founders of New England. His account indicates that Edmund and Nicholas were part of a group that in 1622 settled at Wessagusset (Weymouth).  Not long after, it seems they joined the Roger Conant group in the Cape Ann area; then by 1626 they had moved on to Naumkeag (Salem). (Bolton pp. 43-53; 158-177).  A later listing give b. as 1597.  Still another reference give d. as 26 Nov.
