Documents Great Migration: William Freethy (1612-1688)
https://www.americanancestors.org/DB115/rd/7373/583/235162647It is believed that William arrived on the ship Speedwell in 1635. In the early years of his settlement, William found himself on Richmond Island, off the coast of Maine. Here, he was involved in a notable mutiny. The crux of the problem was a dispute over payment: the crew members were upset because Winter wouldn't issue them bills for additional money they believed they were owed beyond their agreed shares. This disagreement led to a serious conflict, with some crew members, believing they were mistreated, deciding to leave the plantation. They planned to start fishing on their own, heading westward, though their exact destination was unknown. The mutineers included Lander, suspected to be the ringleader, along with William Ham, Oliver Clarke, John Bellin, William Freethy, and John Simmons - six men in total.William married Elizabeth in Portsmouth in 1640 and then later moved to York where he was a ferryman. William and Elizabeth found themselves in court several times for offenses such as profaning the Sabbath, refusing to lead an "orderly" life, fighting, and drinking. We are descended from the Freethy's through the Laviolette (Shorey) line.
