WikiTree: Richard Nason (1606-1696)
Richard Nason was in New England prior to 1639 when he married Sarah Baker in Kittery. He settled at Pipestave Landing, on the Salmon Falls River in the Berwick section of Kittery, Maine, in 1631 and apparently owned as many as three stockades in town on 200 acres of land that was just South of that owned by Thomas Spencer (another ancestor).In 1645, Richard and Sarah had a dispute with her father, John Baker, who was tried in New Hampshire and fined 5 shillings "for beating Richard Nason that he was black and blue and for throwing a fire shovel at his wife." It is possible that the Nasons were Quakers and in 1655, Richard was charged with not attending church meetings and in 1659 was fined 5 pounds and disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers.Richard and Sarah had 8 children together and through the Laviolette (DeRochemont-Shorey) line we are decended from two of them, Jonathan and Sarah. There was much tragedy in the family. In 1675, after attacking the Tozier's house (we are descended from the Toziers too) the Indians went southward to Sturgeon Creek where Richard Nason, Jr., was killed in his own doorway and his son Richard (Richard and Sarah's grandson), third of the name, was carried off to Canada, never returning. In 1691, our ancestor Jonathan was killed by his brother Baker with an oar while in a canoe on the Piscataqua River. The brother claimed he was acting in self-defense and was found not guilty by a jury. While Sarah had died in 1663, Richard lived until 1696 and so lived through these tragedies.

Founding Families of Kittery & The Berwicks (13)
While I was born in New Hampshire and have lived almost all of my adult in New Hampshire, I grew up just over the border, in Berwick, Maine. This is Jim and I met and dated throughout high school (Noble High School) and it's where we were later married at Our Lady of Peace. Berwick is where my grandparents purchased a farm after he was wounded in WWII and received a medical discharge from the Marines, and it is where they raised their nine children. It is where most of my family still lives and it is where Jim's parents live.
For all these reasons, I was beyond excited to find that our ancestral roots go back to the very beginning of the European settlement of Berwick. The branches run through both my maternal and paternal lines and I will use this collection to provide all my research.
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.
