    Hatevil Nutter, originally from Warwickshire, England was in Dover by 1637 when he purchased property, described as being east of Fore River, west of High Street. It is unknown whether Hatevil married Anne Ayers in England or once he was in Dover. Together they had four children and we are descnded on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) side through their son Anthony and also their daughter Mary. 

    In 1647 Hatevil made an agreement with the selectmen of the town to set up a sawmill on the Lamprey River. He was one of the wealthy men of the colony and was largely engaged in the lumber business and in ship building.

    As an early Elder of Dover's First Church, organized in November 1638, Hatevil was a fervent supporter of the church. Hatevil became known for his strong opposition to the Quaker missionaries Anna Coleman, Mary Tomkins, and Alice Ambrose in 1662, who he believed were spreading harmful teachings. He played a role in their persecution, advocating for their forced removal from Dover.

    The treatment of these Quaker women was brutal. Richard Waldron, the deputy, ordered them to be stripped, tied to a cart, and whipped through several towns as a punishment for their beliefs. This was done in front of the meeting house, with Hatevil Nutter present, urging on the constables. The account of their suffering is vividly described, highlighting the harshness and cruelty of their persecution. Despite this, the Quaker women endured and sang amidst their pain, astonishing those who watched. This event didn't deter the Quakers. They eventually returned to Dover and successfully established a Quaker church. Over time, a significant portion of Dover's population converted to Quakerism

    Founding Families of Dover    		Founding Families of Dover (1)
    Dover, New Hampshire, holds the distinction of being the oldest permanent settlement in the state and the seventh oldest in the United States, established in 1623 by William and Edward Hilton at Pomeroy Cove on Dover Point. Originally known as Bristol, the area saw a second settlement at Dover Neck in 1633. Briefly an independent colony named Northam, it was officially named Dover in 1637, potentially after Robert Dover, an English lawyer known for his resistance to Puritanism.

    The early township encompassed what are now Durham, Madbury, Newington, Lee, Somersworth, and Rollinsford. Nicknamed "the Garrison City" due to its garrisoned homes built from abundant trees for protection, Dover thrived despite challenges. The town utilized the Cocheco River for industrial purposes as early as 1642, starting with a sawmill, and later developing an extensive shipbuilding industry in the 1700s. By 1830, Dover had evolved into a prominent cotton goods manufacturer, with the Dover Cotton Factory established in 1814 marking the beginning of its textile industry.
    Black Sheep    		Black Sheep (1)
    In the intricate web of family history, we often stumble upon ancestors who stand out as the proverbial 'black sheep.' These individuals, whose actions diverged from the norms and expectations of their times, have left behind a trail of stories ranging from the mildly scandalous to the deeply troubling. Historical records, when carefully examined, reveal tales of ancestors who faced the Colonial courts for drunken misdemeanors, endured public shame for illicit affairs, or were implicated in more grievous acts like theft, violence, and even rape. These narratives, while sometimes amusing in their absurdity or shocking in their severity, form an essential part of our family's multifaceted history, offering a glimpse into the societal values and personal struggles of the past.
    Great Migration    		Great Migration (119)
    The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

    An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.

    You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
