Nicholas married TRAVERS, SarahMassachusetts, USA. Sarah (daughter of TRAVERS, Henry and FITZ, Bridgett) was born in 1636 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 20 Aug 1709 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sarah's father, Henry Travers, sometimes spelled Travis, originated from London, England. He arrived on the "Mary and John" in early 1634. While some secondary sources claim Irish ancestry, there is no concrete evidence supporting this. The "Mary and John" passengers initially settled in Agawam, now Ipswich, Massachusetts, and in 1635, many, including Henry Travers, relocated to Newbury. There, he received six acres of salt marsh in the Great Marsh and a half-acre house lot near the First Landing Place, along with four acres in another part of Newbury. He was listed as one of the 91 freeholders of Newbury on December 7, 1642.

Henry's wife, Bridget, might have been related to Richard Fitts of Ipswich and Newbury, Massachusetts. Richard Fitts' will, dated December 2, 1672, mentions his sister "Travisse's" daughter. The term 'sister' could imply a sister-in-law, suggesting Richard Fitts might have been a brother-in-law or a step-relation. After Henry's departure, Bridget remarried Richard Window of Gloucester, Massachusetts, on March 30, 1659. There's speculation that Bridget might have been previously married to a Goodwin before marrying Henry Travers. It's also possible that Henry had a wife in England before coming to America, but this remains uncertain.

In a court held at Ipswich, Massachusetts, on September 29, 1646, John Emery was fined for his misconduct with Henry Traverse's wife, Bridget Traverse, who was also fined for her misdemeanors.

Henry Travers was a seaman. In 1648, he traveled to London and never returned, leaving behind his wife Bridget, daughter Sarah, and son James. Before his departure, he wrote a will, leaving various items to his daughter Sara, including livestock and household goods.

In 1655, Bridget petitioned the court regarding the estate, indicating that Henry had left seven years prior and she had only heard from him once, five years after his departure. It seems he chose to stay in England, abandoning his family in America. His estate was inventoried on July 15, 1659, posthumously referring to him as "late of Newbury, deceased."

At a court session in Ipswich on September 27, 1659, Henry Travers' will was presented but not proved. Administration was granted to his widow, Bridget, now Richard Window's wife. The court ordered the distribution of the estate among the family members.

After marrying Richard Window in 1659, Bridget moved to Gloucester. Richard's will, dated May 2, 1665, and proved on June 27, 1665, mentions the Travers children, particularly concerning James Travis's inheritance.

Bridget was widowed again and had passed away by November 9, 1673, when her estate was in probate. Administration was granted to Nicholas Wallingford and James Travis. An inventory conducted on October 9, 1673, totaled 11 pounds, 12 shillings, and 3 pence. Testimonies regarding her will were given, detailing the distribution of her estate among her children and grandchildren. Elizabeth Worcester, who later married Onesiphorus Marsh, Sarah Travers' third husband, was involved in the testimony.

Andrew married POORE, Sara G in 1628 in Nether Wallop, Hampshire, England. Sara was born in 1605 in Hampshire, England; died in 1701 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
