Philemon Whale Notes

bullet

Note some confusion about the various wives of John Moore. Also note there may be more recent data, not included here.  These notes are simply for those interested in the name for further study:

NEHGR 114:155 (1960--Recent Books) Ancestry of Philemon Whale --"In the Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines, reference is made to Philemon Whale, weaver, whose daughter, Elizabeth, was second wife to John Moor(e) of Sudbury and Cambridge, Mass. . .
From the Parish Registers of Chickney, Essex are the following entries:

Baptized
1599-27 May, Philemon, son of Philemon Whale
1593-31 Jan., Elizabeth, dau of Philemon Whale
1610-30 Oct. - Philemon, son of Jonas Whale and Frances Whale

The elder Philemon Whale, above, was a cleric; his will, styling him of Chickney, Essex, 4 April 1618, was probated 19 May 1620; evidently he was buried 23 March 1619; his testament names his wife Agnes, his elder brother, John, deceased and the testator's two sons, Jonas and Philemon (see printed PCC wills, reg. Soames, 1620). The deceased brother, John Whale was evidently that John Whale of Colchester, whose will dated 1608 names his brother Philemon. (See also NEHGR 63:65, the will of John Whale in the parish of St. Mary, Towne of Colchester, County of Essex)

Agnes, relict of Philemon Whale, clerk, may well have been Anne Norwood whom Philemon Whale married 4 Sept. 1587, according to the parish registers of Great Canfield, Essex.(see Col. Banks' MSS in the Library Congress; The Register, vol 53, p. 303).

Some Descendants of John Moore of Sudbury, MASS (NEHGR 57:300+) John1 Moore bought a house and land of Edmund Rice in 1642, in that part of Sudbury which afterwards became Wayland. He took the oath of fidelity on July 9, 1645. He married in Sudbury, Elizabeth, daughter of Philemon Whale, who outlived him. On August 25, 1668, he made his will, in which he refers to his age. He died Jan 6, 1673 (?) and his will was probated April 7, 1674 (Worcester Co Probate) He mentions his sons John of Lancaster, William, Jacob, Joseph, to whom he leaves his house and Benjamin; also his daughters Elizabeth, wife of Henry Rice, Mary, wife of Daniel Stone and Lydia, wife of James Cutler. His widow Elizabeth was named as Executrix. The valuation of his estate showed L804.7.0. she died Dec. 14, 1690.
