Notes - (1) THE MEIGS FAMIILY [CONTRIBUTED TO ANCESTRY.COM BY "huffmanmj"]:
VINCENT MEIGS, born in Devonshire, England, about 1583 ; married, in 1608, _____. Came to New England in 1639 settled first in Massachusetts (Weymouth, probably), removed to Hartford and from there to New Haven, in 1644 ; moved to Guilford in 1647, and subsequently moved to Hammonassett, East Guilford, now Madison, in 1653 ; died there in December, 1658, and was the first person buried [Rocky's New Haven Co., p. 203] in East Guilford. The house of Sergeant Daniel Meigs, built in 1750, stands upon the original home lot of Vincent Meigs.
His two [three] sons, John and Mark, came with him to New England.
SECOND GENERATION
John Meigs, son of Vincent, Weymouth, Mass., 1639 [?], Hartford, New Haven, 1644, owned "Cutler's corner" in New Haven, fronting on Church- street one hundred and thirty-nine feet, and on Chapel street two hundred and thirty-five feet. William Jeanes owned it, by allotment, from 1639 to 1648; John Meggs, from 1648 to 1658, by deed; Town, from 1658, by cession. John Meigs, or Meggs, as he spelled his name then, acquired his title by purchase and conveyance, which is on record as follows : "Wm Jeanes passeth over to John Meggs his house and house lot, lying at the corner over against the house lot of John Budd and the highway." John Meggs took the oath of fidelity in New Haven in 1644, and was admitted freeman 1644.
He was a tanner by trade, active in business and had a large estate; he is also mentioned in early records as having "books, one was a Greek and Latin Dictionary," showing that he was a literary man.
When the trouble with Connecticut arose he took an active part on the side of the Connecticut usurpation, and accepted the appointment of constable for Guilford from the Connecticut authorities in defiance of the New Haven jurisdiction.
John Meigs settled in Guilford 1647; was admitted a planter on his buying a hundred-pound allotment at Hammonassett on its settlement, March 3, 1653-4: made freeman 1657.
Mr. John Meigs was one of the twelve men selected as patentees of the Charter of Guilford ; his name occurs in the Charter four times. He was Representative at Hartford, 1647.
May 14, 1663, John Meigs was chosen Constable over those submitting to Connecticut Colony at Guilford. [History of Guilford (Smith) pp. 19, 24, 25, 28, 50, 78, 79]. In 1668 he removed to Killingworth, where he died January 4, 1671, leaving a very large estate.
One of the most interesting incidents of his life is recorded in many histories and romances of New England. [Palfrey's New England, ii, pp. 490, 502. Atwater's New Haven, p. 426. Hollister's Conn., i, p. 239. Col. Histo. Soc., xxviii, p. 325. The Judges Cave, Romance of New Haven Colony, 1661, by Margaret Sidney, Chap. x, and the Regicides, F. H. Cogswell].
By a wild ride on horseback "the night of May 12, 1661, John Meiggs of Guilford" succeeded in reaching New Haven in time to notify Rev. John Davenport that agents of the King were at Guilford on their way to New Haven to seize the regicides Whalley and Goffe* then in hiding at Mr. Davenport's. The regicides, warned in time, hurried away to another of their mysterious hiding places, and John Meigs was considered to have saved their lives ; he is also said to have carried food to their "hiding place."
John Meigs married in Weymouth, England, in 1632, Tamazin Fry.

*His main claim to fame is that during the English Civil War he helped hide William Goffe and Edward Whalley (Major Generals under Cromwell), fugitive members of the English High Court of Justice which condemned and executed King Charles I, when they fled to North America after the restoration of the monarchy. Meigs rode from Guilford to New Haven to warn the regicides that the Royal Commissioners were on their way to apprehend them, and that it was time for them to escape. This was considered treason against the Crown a century before our Revolution.

(3) Thomasine Fry 1612 [CONTRIBUTED TO ANCESTRY.COM BY "gsteve01"]:
F R Y, of Weymouth, Massachusetts Acknowledgements
Thanks to Rockne Johnson for sending information on Thomasine (Fry) Meigs, and David H. Williams for sending information on Elizabeth (Meigs) Hubbell. The well-known genealogist Douglas Richardson informs us that he is directly descended from Thomasine (Fry) Meigs.
Introduction
The four Fry siblings who follow do not appear to have been in New England before 1635, but all were certainly there by 1642. All four are treated in Chamberlain’s History of Weymouth.[1] There is no reason for believing they were related to George Fry(e), of Weymouth, who d. in 1676.[2] It has been recently suggested that Mary may have been from Axminster, Devon.[3] Unfortunately, we have not had access to the best and most recent account of the family, incorporating research in English sources by Douglas Richardson, which appeared in Burton W. Spear, Search for the Passengers of the Mary and John, 1630, v. 16 (199_), the volume being now out of print and practically unprocurable.
The 1901 Meigs genealogy states that Thomasine Fry(e) was a daughter of William Fry(e), of Weymouth, Dorset.[4] The statement has been widely repeated,[5] and the IGI contains a number of entries from patrons’ submission record giving her birthdate (sic) as 29 Feb. 1612. The author of the Meigs genealogy appears to have been imposed upon by one of his informants, who passed on to him a garbled version of an account — unobjectionable in itself — of the family of William Frye, of Lyme Regis (not Weymouth), Dorset, which had been published about six years earlier by H.F. Waters in NEHGR 49 (1895): 495. The children of the William Frye treated by Waters are referred to in the 1620 will of their maternal grandfather as “my daughter Sarah Fry … her three children, Tristram, William and Mary.” This cannot be a reference to the Frye siblings of New England unless Waters’ reading of the name “Tristram” is cast aside, and it is assumed, against all probability, that Hannah/Anna Fry had not yet been born. Thus, it would appear that our subjects were forcibly attached to a family of high social status who happened to live in the same general vicinity as the Meigs family of Thomasine Fry’s husband. The subsequent connection of the Fry family with Weymouth, Massachusetts, may have contributed to acceptance of the very dubious proposition that they were from Weymouth, Dorset.
We continue with a brief outline of what is actually known respecting the four Fry siblings of Massachusetts, more detail generally being available in the sources cited.
Mary Fry, b. say 1604, d. (testate) 24 Jan. 1655/6 at New London. She m. by 1621 (in November of which year their first child was born), Walter Harris, of New London, Connecticut. Her identity is proven by the 1643 will of her brother William Fry, which mentions her son Thomas Harris, and by her own will, dated 19 Jan. 1655/6 and attested by mark rather than by signature, in which she named several collateral relatives including “my sister Migges,” “my sister Hannah Rawlin,” “my cosen [i.e. nephew] Calib Rawlyns,” “my two cosens Mary and Elizabeth Fry [the daughters of her brother William],” and “my two kinswomen Elizabeth Hubbard [i.e. Hubbell] and Mary Steevens [daughters of her sister Thomasine].”[6] They were the great-grandparents of Joseph Harris, of Poughkeepsie, New York, our ancestor.
William Fry, of Weymouth, Mass., b. say 1608, d. shortly before 26 Oct. 1642 (the date of his burial), “being sicke & weake in body.” His name appears in a list of the residents of Weymouth made in 1636.[7] He m. (as her first husband) Elizabeth (Foster?), probably a daughter of Elizabeth (Seamer?) Foster and stepdaughter of Jonas Humphrey (which Jonas Humphrey refers in his will to his “granddaughter Elizabeth Frie”).[8] His will, undated but certainly written before 2 Dec. 1642,[9] and proved 4 Dec. (10th month) 1643, mentions his wife (to whom he leaves the majority of his estate), his “two daughters, Elizabeth & Mary,” and bequeaths “to Thomas Harris, Thomas Rawlens & John Meggs, his three sisters youngest children, each of them a kid.”[10] his widow afterward married secondly, Thomas Daggett. Known issue (per Weymouth VR):[11]
Elizabeth Fry, b. 20 Dec. (10th month) 1639. She m. Nathan Fiske, Jr., son of Nathan Fiske, of Watertown, Mass.
Mary Fry, b. 9 Jan. (11th month) 1641[/2], d. 22 March 1704, and buried in Dorchester Cemetery. She m. Thomas Pierce, and had issue.[12]
Thomasine Fry, b. say 1614,[13] said to have d. 4 Jan. 1671/2 at Killingsworth, Connecticut (but she is not mentioned in the town vital records). She m. by 1641 (possibly in 1632), John Meigs, of Weymouth, Hartford, and Guilford, said to have been b. 1612, d. 4 Jan. 1671/2 at Killingsworth.[14] John Meigs made a will dated 28 Aug. 1671 and proved 4 June 1672, naming his wife as executrix.[15] The 1683 will of Gov. William Leete, of Hartford and Guilford, mentions “land … I bought at Homonoscitt of John Meggs,” though this might equally well be a reference to his son, or some other man of the same name.[16] Her “youngest child” John Meggs is mentioned in the will (proved 1643) of her brother, William Fry. Known issue (order partly inferential):
Mary Meigs, said in the Meigs genealogy to have been b. 1633, d. 30 April 1702 at Guilford. She m. (as his first wife) 3 March 1652/3, William Stevens (or Stephens), of Guilford and Killingworth, b. 1630, d. 26 Feb. 1704 at Guilford, son of John Stevens. She is “my kinswoman Mary Steevens” in the 1656 will of her aunt, Mary (Fry) Harris. They had six, and possibly seven, children.[17]
Elizabeth Meigs, said in the Meigs genealogy to have been b. 1635, d. in 1664-5, at Pequonnock. She m. (as his first wife) in 1650-51 at New Haven, Richard Hubbell, of New Haven, Guilford, and Fairfield, d. 23 Oct. 1699 at Stratford.[18] She is mentioned as “my kinswoman Elizabeth Hubbard” in the 1656 will of her aunt, Mary (Fry) Harris.
Concurrence Meigs, b. say 1637, d. 9 Oct. 1708. She m. (Capt.) Henry Crane, b. 1635, said to have been an immigrant from Suffolk. He was one of the original proprietors of Killingworth. They had eight children.[19]
(Deacon) John Meigs, Jr., b. 29 [sic] Feb. (12th month) 1641[/2], d. 9 Nov. 1713 “in his 48th year,” and buried in the West Cemetery, Madison, New Haven Co., Conn.[20] He m. (1) Sarah Wilcox, d. 24 Nov. 1691, “æ. about 42 years,” who as “Sarah, wife of Dea. John Meigs, was buried with her husband”; daughter of William Wilcox, of Stratford, by his wife Margaret ____. He m. (2) Lydia (____) Crittenden, widow of Isaac Crittenden. The Meigs genealogy lists eight children for him.[21]
Trial Meigs, said to have been b. 1646 at New Haven, d. 1690 at Killingworth. She m. in 1668 at Guilford, Andrew Ward, Jr., b. 1645 at Stamford, d. 1691 (?) at Killingworth, son of Andrew Ward and Esther Sherman, and had nine children.[22] Through their son Andrew (III) they were ancestors, in two different lines, of the Rev. Henry Ward Beech (1813-1887), the noted divine, and of his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.[23] Through their son William they were ancestors of Emma Hale, the principal wife of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet.[24]
Hannah/Anna Fry, b. say 1616, will proved 29 April 1692. She m. before 1642, Thomas Rawlins, of Weymouth and Boston, who d. (intestate) before 28 May 1670.[25] The 1874 Rawlins genealogy states of this Thomas Rawlins that his “mother was a sister of William Fry.”[26] Chamberlain’s History of Weymouth, p. 562, exhibits the same confusion, calling him “a son of a sister of William Frye,” and neglecting to assign him the son Thomas mentioned in Frye’s will. Why these authors should have placed him a generation too late is inexplicable, unless it was merely that he and his wife outlived her brother by a generation. It is unlikely to have resulted from a simple misinterpretation of the reference to his son Caleb as “my cosen” in the will of William Fry’s sister, Mary (Fry) Harris, for had these authors assumed (in ignorance of seventeenth-century usage) that Caleb and Mary were of the same generation, they would have placed Thomas Rawlins a generation too early. Yet their reconstruction implies that the testator was actually referring to a grandnephew, a somewhat distant relation to be remembered in the will of a woman with children of her own. In any case, his dates forbid him being anything other than Hannah’s husband. As their son Thomas must have been born before 1642 and all their other known children were younger, it leaves open the possibility that they had older children, including possibly the Benjamin and Abigail named in Chamberlain’s Weymouth as “unrecorded” in the town records. Known issue:
Benjamin Rawlins (unplaced).
Abigail Rawlins (unplaced).
Thomas Rawlins (missed in Chamberlain’s Weymouth), called the “youngest child” in the 1642 will of his uncle, William Fry, so b. say 1640.
Joshua Rawlins, of Boston, mariner, b. 2 Dec. (10th month) 1642 at Weymouth. He married, and had at least one child.
Caleb Rawlins, of Boston, housewright, b. 8 March (1st month) 1645 at Boston, mentioned in the will of his aunt, Mary (Fry) Harris. He m. Elizabeth Wilmot, daughter of Nicholas Wilmot, and they had eight children, for whom see the 1874 Rawlins genealogy.
Joseph Rawlins, bapt. 25 June 1648, aged about 11 days, at Boston.
Mary Rawlins, b. 24 Nov. 1652 at Boston.
Samuel Rawlins, b. 1 Sept. 1655.
