Biography
Early Settlement in Salem, Massachusetts
John Pride was born about 1590 in England. His wife's name was Edith.[1] They arrived in Massachusetts in the early 1630's.
John Pride's name first appears when, as a fisherman, he was granted lands on Juniper Point and Winter Islands. The town records of Salem show that he was given half an acre of land on Winter Harbor by their home and five acres on "Darbie Fort side" on Mar. 20, 1636/7.[2]John received another 20 acres in a land grant in Salem between Dec. 26, 1636 and Jul. 12, 1637.[3]
John Pride's name appears on a handwritten list by Roger Conant as a result of a town meeting held on Dec. 25, 1637 in which the division of marsh and meadow land was discussed. Division was based on the number of persons in the family and John's family was said to have consisted of 4 members to receive 3/4 acre.[4]
John mortgaged his house with land in Salem to Will Waltham of Waymouth on Dec. 23, 1640.[5]
First Recorded Potter in New England
John was the first recorded potter in New England where he was registered in Salem as early as 1641.[6] Settlers in New England imported much of what they needed from England, but redware pottery was something they could make for themselves. Having a strong British redware tradition to draw on, red clay deposits were plentiful, lead for the glaze was readily available and all they needed for equipment was a potter's wheel and a kiln capable of firing at the relatively low temperature of 1800 degrees.[7]
John Pride's Days in Court
John's name shows up fairly often in the town records of Salem[8]
On the 27th day of the 4th month, 1636, "Mr. Babb plaintiff & John Pride and Wm. Vinson defendants confessed debt 3 florin odd and agreed."
On the 26th day of the 4th month, 1638, John Leech and Wm. Vincent plaintiffs against John Pride defendant, accused of slander."
On the same day, John Pride was also a defendant in a case of debt and was ordered to pay 36 shillings and court costs to the plaintiff, Anthony Buxton.
Again on the 25th of the 4th month, 1639, John Pride was a defendant in a case of debt and the court ordered him to pay the plaintiff John Leech 42 shillings, 6 d. for damages plus court costs.
On the 24th of the 7th month, 1639, John Pride is the plaintiff and the defendant, Wm. Vinton was ordered to pay John 58 shillings plus 2 shillings for his days work.
On the first of the 5th month, 1640, John Pride was the defendant in a juried trial. The plaintiff, John Holgrave, accused John Pride of trespassing by cutting down trees along the highway. The jury found John guilty of a misdemeanor and ordered him to pay 12 d. in damages and 4 shilling in court costs.
At a General Town Meeting on the 13th of the 4th month, 1644, "Ordered that John Pride shall be forbidden to fence in the halfe acre lotts at Winter Neck and John Holgrave dothe promise to acquaint him with this order."
On Jun. 28, 1644, John Pride, petitioner, was ordered, with consent of Adam Ottley, about delivery of earthenware to Mr. Ruck and that a bond from him to Mr. Humpfreys be delivered.[9]Death and Remembrance
John Pride of Salem died intestate, and his widow brought in an inventory of his estate, the last, 12m:1647, which was valued at 88 pounds, 16 shillings.[10] The Court ordered distribution to his son, under twenty-one years, £ 8, and two daughters, under eighteen years, £ 4 each. The mother was to bring them up. House and land bought of Mr. Holgrave security.[11]
Pride's Crossing, named for John Pride, is a historic district in an old neighborhood of Beverly, Massachusetts on Hale Street, situated to the north by Beverly Farms and to the south by Beverly Cove. Other locations in Beverly named for this family are Prides Crossing Railway Station, Prides Crossing Post Office and Prides Beach.
