Individual Details
William Thomas Ivory
(1600 - 3 Oct 1652)
THERE IS NO DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE PARENTS OF WILLIAM IVORY OF LYNN. HE COULD BE RELATED TO "LORD OF MANNERS" WILLIAM IVORY, OF OFFLEY, BUT IT IS NOT PROVEN.
BIRTH William was born in 1600 in Offley, Hertfordshire, England[19,20,21]. (MAYBE)
DEATH William died in Lynn, Essex co., MA on 3d:8m (March): 1652; he was 52[22].
OCCUPATION His death record in Boston, Suffolk co., MA lists his occupation as carpenter.
MIGRATION We are not yet sure when and how he arrived in Boston, Suffolk co, MA. William perhaps arrived in Lynn, Essex co., MA in 1638. Savage[28] contends that he came over on the Truelove in 1635. However, this entry is for a William Ives, age 28. While "Ives" for "Ivory" is plausible, this would place his birth 7 years later than commonly accepted and includes no wife or children of William. Then again, Torrey maintains that William and Ann South got married in 1632 in Lynn, Essex co., MA. However, William is not mentioned in Anderson's The Great Migration series which records in detail virtually every emigrant to New England before 1634.
RESIDENCE AND LEGAL DOCUMENTS We know that William's monetary contribution to the settlement of Lynn, Essex co., MA was very small, since William received only 10 acres in the six-mile land grant of 1638[25,16,17].
On 31 October 1639, William sued Roger Scott for defamation in Essex Court, MA[23].
Estate of William Ivory of Lynn.
Inventory of estate of William Ivory of Lin, deceased, filed 29:1:1653. Amount 135li. 9s. 10d. Also a writing filed by Ann Ivory, relict of said William Ivory, as his last will. Declared invalid, for want of an executor. Administration granted to the widow. Deceased's son, Thomas Ivory, was ordered to have twenty pounds of the estate when twenty-one years of age, and Lois and Sarah, two of the daughters, ten pounds apiece when they are eighteen or married. Ruth Baly, a married daughter, to have forty shillings after the death of her mother. Remainder of the estate to go to the widow. [Ipswich Quarterly Court Records, vol. 1, leaf 33.]
