iv ELIZABETH HOAR, b. Taunton 26 May 1660 [PCR 8:39; MD18:169]; m. by about 1690 (and perhaps a few years earlier) WilliamTurpin [Austin 209-10].

v EDWARD HOAR, b. Taunton 25 September 1663 [PCR 8:39; MD18:169]; removed to Philadelphia by 21 March 1710/1 [BrLR 8:87].

vii MARY HOAR, b. Taunton 22 September 1669 [PCR 8:39; MD18:169]; m. Boston 2 December 1698 Duncan Mackum [BVR 244].

viii REBECCA HOAR, b. say 1671; m. Taunton 20 February 1690[/1?]Samuel Smith.

ix HEZEKIAH HOAR, b. Taunton 10 November 1678 [PCR 8:83]; m. by about 1701 Sarah Brightman, daughter of Henry Brightman [NEHGR 142:18,citing BrPR 6:121-23]. (Forty-six years elapsed between the birth of Hezekiah in 1678 and the birth of the eldest child of his eldest child in1724 [NEHGR 142:20]. His date of marriage has been estimated simply by splitting this difference.)

ASSOCIATIONS: Hezekiah Hoar was first cousin of ROGER CLAP {1630,Dorchester} [GMB 1:364-70], the mothers of the two men being sisters [NEHGR 144:144; Kempton Anc 4:122-23]. Perhaps Hezekiah resided at Dorchester prior to his emergence at Taunton.

Savage states that this immigrant was "brother of John," meaning John Hoar of Scituate [Savage 2:430-31]. John Hoar and his siblings and mother were from Gloucester, Gloucestershire [NEHGR 53:92-101, 186-98, 289-300]. [There is no known relationship between these two families.]

COMMENTS: Given the lapse of forty-six years between the birth of this immigrant and the date of birth of his first child, one might wonder whether an additional generation should be inserted in this lineage. Hezekiah Hoar appeared rarely in Taunton from 1639 to 1653 [PCR 2:168,3:31, 8:186, 195]. On the earliest of these dates, the immigrant would have been about thirty-one years old, and so it must be he rather than a putative son of the same name who took the oath of fidelity. In the remaining records down to 1654, the designations of Senior and Junior are not used, and there is no other indication that one generation was succeeded by another. For whatever reason, the immigrant did not marry until he was about forty-five.

Hezekiah Hoar was propounded twice for freemanship [PCR 3:31, 78], but was never admitted to this franchise, as he does not appear in any of the later lists of freemen [PCR 5:276, 8:199, 205-6]. This clearly did not prevent him from serving in a number of minor town and colony offices.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1987 Lyon J. Hoard identified the English origin of this immigrant, and published four generations of his agnate ancestry [NEHGR 141:22-33, 142:17-24]. In 1990 Ken Smallbone published additional data which solidified the identification of the immigrant, and provided leads to extending the agnate ancestry a number of generations further back [NEHGR 144:143-46].[robby1940.FTW]
===========================================================

The following is compliments of Robby Robinson
Will
Hezekiah was named in his grandmother Channon's will in 1616,
and he witnessed Combpyne leases inreversion for his two older
half-brothers in 1633, at which time he had already made
arrangements to sail for New England. Record of Hezekiah's
iemigration is found in documents discovered by Peter Wilson
coldham in the Public record Office in London. A port book
entry dated 31 March 1633 lists Ezechia Hore among other
"planters" going to New England with household goods, apparell
and other goods allowed free of customs by patent to sail aboard
the ship "Recovery" of London, Gabriel Cornish master, sailing
from Weymouth, Dorset. Weymouth is about fifteen miles east of
Combpyne by sea, somewhat farther by land. The date of sailing
is not stated, but since a month's time elapsed between the port
book entry and the date on which Hezekiah witnessed the leases,
it is clear that he did not actually leave England until after
30 April 1633.

FREEMAN: Oath of fidelity at Taunton (as "Hezekiah Hore"), 1639 [PCR8:186]. Propounded for freemanship, 7 June 1653, 8 June 1655 [PCR 3:31,78].
