SOME DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM BUCKNAM
OF
CHARLESTOWN AND MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS
WILLIAM1 BUCKNAM was born in England about 1602, the date being
determined by the fact that he deposed in Middlesex County Court on 25 (7) 1665
that he was about 63 years of age (Charles Henry Pope, The Pioneers of
Massachusetts, [Boston, Mass., 1900], p. 77). When William arrived in this country
is not known. That he was still a single man may be ascertained from the court
deposition taken 16 Dec 1662 when Robert Lincoln stated "have known him, ever
since he came into the Country both singal man and married man." (Middlesex
County Court Records, Folio 31, 1662). There is conjecture that William came from
London and that he had a brother John who married 31 December 1616 at St. Faith,
London and was a member of the Merchant Tailors Guild (Robert W. Waite, Jr.,
Genealogical Sketches of the Waitt Family of Richmond, Virginia [1984], Vol. 3).
William died at Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts 28 March 1679 (Middlesex
Co. Probate, 1st Series, #3406).
William first married
WILKINSON, daughter of widow Prudence
Wilkinson (Charles Edward Banks, The Winthrop Fleet of 1630, [Boston Mass., 1930],
p. 97). It is possible that her name was Sarah, but there is no proof for it. She
died prior to 3 July 1641, the date of his son Joses's birth, as William refers to him
in his will as Sarah Knower's eldest son. William married secondly SARAH
KNOWER, believed by some to be the daughter of Thomas Knower. They were
probably married by 1640. In his will William makes it quite clear that it was
through the monies that came from Sarah that he was able to purchase most of his
real estate. He says: "the estate, whereby I purchased all my lands came unto
me
by
my wife Sara." She may be the Sarah who was baptized at St. Clements',
London, England 28 September 1628 (George Walter Chamberlain, additional note
furnished 26 Feb 1942 for his manuscript "Malden Genealogies to the Year 1800",
[1935-1936], in possession of The Malden Public Library, Malden, Mass., p. 403).
She could also be the "Sara Knore" who arrived in this country aboard the "Abigail"
in July 1635 (John Camden Hotten, The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, rpt.
[Baltimore, Md., 1968], p. 92). In 1656 the Middlesex County Court Files show
"Sarah Bucknam, ae. 34, servant to Mrs. Glover" (Middlesex County Court Records,
Folio 2, 1656). Sarah's father was found dead in a small boat laden with wood on
the Mistick River about 9 November 1641 (Thomas Bellows Wyman, The Genealogies
& Estates of Charlestown, rpt. Somersworth, NH [1982], p. 592, hereafter Wyman).
One of the early residents of Charlestown, William is recorded as having
property within the town limits in 1638. The Charlestown Land Records show where
he possessed "One Dwelling house with a garden plott, butting northeast upon the
streeteway, and bounded on the southeast by Edward Carrington" (Boston City
Document No. 39, A. Report of The Record Commissioners containing Charlestown
Land Records, 1638-1802 [Boston, Mass., 1883], p. 66). In 1649 he purchased from
Francis Willoughby 20 acres on the Mystic side. The following year he purchased
further land and meadows (Wyman, p. 147). On 2 April 1661, together with George

SOME DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM BUCKNAM
OF
CHARLESTOWN AND MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS
WILLIAM1 BUCKNAM was born in England about 1602, the date being
determined by the fact that he deposed in Middlesex County Court on 25 (7) 1665
that he was about 63 years of age (Charles Henry Pope, The Pioneers of
Massachusetts, [Boston, Mass., 1900], p. 77). When William arrived in this country
is not known. That he was still a single man may be ascertained from the court
deposition taken 16 Dec 1662 when Robert Lincoln stated "have known him, ever
since he came into the Country both singal man and married man." (Middlesex
County Court Records, Folio 31, 1662). There is conjecture that William came from
London and that he had a brother John who married 31 December 1616 at St. Faith,
London and was a member of the Merchant Tailors Guild (Robert W. Waite, Jr.,
Genealogical Sketches of the Waitt Family of Richmond, Virginia [1984], Vol. 3).
William died at Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts 28 March 1679 (Middlesex
Co. Probate, 1st Series, #3406).
William first married
WILKINSON, daughter of widow Prudence
Wilkinson (Charles Edward Banks, The Winthrop Fleet of 1630, [Boston Mass., 1930],
p. 97). It is possible that her name was Sarah, but there is no proof for it. She
died prior to 3 July 1641, the date of his son Joses's birth, as William refers to him
in his will as Sarah Knower's eldest son. William married secondly SARAH
KNOWER, believed by some to be the daughter of Thomas Knower. They were
probably married by 1640. In his will William makes it quite clear that it was
through the monies that came from Sarah that he was able to purchase most of his
real estate. He says: "the estate, whereby I purchased all my lands came unto me
by my wife Sara." She may be the Sarah who was baptized at St. Clements',
London, England 28 September 1628 (George Walter Chamberlain, additional note
furnished 26 Feb 1942 for his manuscript "Malden Genealogies to the Year 1800",
[1935-1936], in possession of The Malden Public Library, Malden, Mass., p. 403).
She could also be the "Sara Knore" who arrived in this country aboard the "Abigail"
in July 1635 (John Camden Hotten, The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, rpt.
[Baltimore, Md., 1968], p. 92). In 1656 the Middlesex County Court Files show
"Sarah Bucknam, ae. 34, servant to Mrs. Glover" (Middlesex County Court Records,
Folio 2, 1656). Sarah's father was found dead in a small boat laden with wood on
the Mistick River about 9 November 1641 (Thomas Bellows Wyman, The Genealogies
& Estates of Charlestown, rpt. Somersworth, NH [1982], p. 592, hereafter Wyman).
One of the early residents of Charlestown, William is recorded as having
property within the town limits in 1638. The Charlestown Land Records show where
he possessed "One Dwelling house with a garden plott, butting northeast upon the
streeteway, and bounded on the southeast by Edward Carrington" (Boston City
Document No. 39, A. Report of The Record Commissioners containing Charlestown
Land Records, 1638-1802 [Boston, Mass., 1883], p. 66). In 1649 he purchased from
Francis Willoughby 20 acres on the Mystic side. The following year he purchased
further land and meadows (Wyman, p. 147). On 2 April 1661, together with George
DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM BUCKNAM
Knower, he bought a forty acre and a fifteen acre lot of land at Malden from Capt.
Edward Johnson and his wife, Susan (Middlesex Co. Deeds 9:228).
William's first born son, John, taken from him by his first wife's mother,
Widow Prudence Wilkinson, is referenced in the Notebook of Thomas Lechford. His
notebook records the petition of "WILL" BUCKNUM of Charlestown carpenter,
Sheweth that wheras his mother in Law the widdow Wilkinson keepes away from,
him his sonne John Bucknum against the good will of this peticoner wch is like to
be a breach of peace betweene us, Yor peticoner humbly prayeth the widdow
Wilkinson may be ordered to redeliver to this peticoner his said child."
(Transactions and Collections of the American Antiquarian Society, Volume VII,
[1885], p. 411).
That William was a carpenter by trade is referred to in several instances. In
the inventory of the Estate of Mr. Nathaniel Sparrowhawk of Cambridge, who died
27 June 1647, it lists a debt to one "Wm Buckman" of Charlestown (New England
Historic Genealogical Register, [1853], 7:176, hereafter Register).
The court records indicate that the morals of Williams' second wife, Sarah,
were not the best. She and Robert Burden drew an admonition by the court "for
severall imodest and suspitious cariages in their familiarities together" (Deloraine
Pendre Corey, The History of Malden [Malden, Mass., 1899], p. 119, hereafter
Corey). At a Court held at Cambridge 5 (2) 1653 William bound himself to the
court "that his wife shall absteine from all private meetings wth Robert Burden
and Robert Burden bound himself that "he will abstaine from all familiarity or
private meetings with the wife of William Bucknam" (David Pulsifer, Middlesex
County Court Records, 1:37, hereafter Pulsifer). They appeared again 4 (8) 1653 and
the court discharged them of their bonds "for their good abearing" (ibid., p. 45).
William himself had trouble in this regard. He was convicted at a court held
in Charlestown 16 December 1662 "of shameful laciviousness in his word and actions,
towards sundry married women of Maulden, soliciting of them to undress &
attempting their chastity. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 25£ or to be
severely whipt twenty stripes, and to give 50£ bond with sufficient surities for his
good behavior. He was also to pay the court costs of 1£, 11 sh, 6 p. (Pulsifer
1:272). Amongst the women who testified against him were Margaret Greene,
Elizabeth Webb, Rebecca Greene, the wife of Roger Kenicutt, Hannah Barat, and
Hannah Hill who testified: "he came to our house and said is your husband home I
said no he said I came to see how rich he is and came roughly upon me and took
hold of me one hand about me and the other he offered to put under my apron and
i strove out of his arms and ran out of doors and there i sate till he was gone."
(Middlesex Co. Court Records, Folio 31). Four months later, on 2 April 1663, "W"
Bucknam is released from his bond for good behavior" (Pulsifer, 1:281).

SECOND GENERATION
2. JOSES2 BUCKNAM (William ¹ was born at Charlestown, Massachusetts 3 July
1641 (Wilton F. Bucknam, mss. at New England Historic Genealogical society, Boston,
Mass., hereafter Wilton F. Bucknam). He was about 18 years of age in 1659 (Wyman
p. 148). Joses died at Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts 24 August 1694
(Malden VRs, p. 333).
Joses first married HANNAH KNOWER, daughter of George and Elizabeth
(Kendall) Knower. Joses and Hannah were first-cousins. He married for a second
time at Malden 1 May 1673 JUDITH WORTH (Wyman p. 148). Judith was the
daughter of Lionel and Susanna (Whipple) Worth. After Joses' death, Judith married
Capt. John Lynde as his third wife (ibid.).
Joses served in King Philips' War under Capt. Wheeler 24 June 1676 for which
service he received £01, 10 sh, 10 p (Register [1884] 38:42). He paid taxes in
Charlestown 21 August 1681 (ibid. [1880] 34:274) and was made a Freeman 22 March
1689/90 (ibid. [1849] 3:347).
6.
Joses' will, dated 11 August 1694, divides his real estate between his sons
Joses, Samuel, John and Edward. Daughters Hannah Tuttle, Elizabeth Mellens,
Judith, Sarah, and Susanna were to receive cash legacies. He also says "if my wife
be now with child and it liveth to be of age it shall have equal proportion with the
rest of my daughters... He appointed his wife Judith and his son Samuel as
executors (Middlesex Co. Probate, First Series, # 3391).

April 1692 (Charlestown VRs, p. 155) and he died at Malden 25 August 1757
(Gravestone). He was baptised at Topsfield, Massachusetts 30 October 1692 (Vital
Records of Topsfield, Massachusetts to the End of the Year 1849 (Topsfield, Mass.,
1903], 1:21, hereafter Topsfield VRs). He is buried beside his wife in the Bell
Rock Cemetery.
His marriage intentions were published at Boston 27 August 1713 to PHEBE
TUTTLE (Edward W. McGlenen, comp., Boston Marriages from 1700 to 1809, rpt.,
[Baltimore Md., 1977], 1:93, hereafter Boston Marriages). Phebe, the daughter of
Edward and Abigail (
) Tuttle, was born at Boston 12 August 1692 and she died

(Middlesex Co. Probate, First Series, #3397).
Joses was a lifelong resident of Malden, living in the family homestead that
had come down through the generations. A farmer and weaver, he owned the
weaving shop that had belonged to his father. The shop later was to be known as
Barrett's Dye Shop, located in Malden Centre. Joses died intestate and the
inventory of his estate, dated 3 April 1758, mentioned several pieces of real estate,
including the Weave Shop and his homestead. The estate was appraised for 370£, 16

22 October 1703 (Charlestown VRs, p. 198). He died at Medway, Norfolk County,
Massachusetts 6 February 1795 (Vital Records of Medway, Massachusetts to the Year
1850 [Boston Mass. 1905], p. 293, hereafter Medway VRs). He and his wife are
buried at Medway in "The Old Churchyard" on Prospect Hill.
Nathan married at Braintree, Massachusetts 23 January 1727/8 MARGARET
FISKE (Samuel A. Bates, ed., Braintree Town Records 1640-1793 [Randolph Mass.,
1886], p.748). Margaret, the daughter of The Rev. Moses and Anna (Quincy) Fiske,
was born at Braintree 16 December 1705 (ibid., p. 673) and died at Medway 1 May
1796 in her 91st year (Medway VRs, p. 293).
After graduating from Harvard College in 1721 at the age of nineteen, Nathan
almost immediately commenced preaching in Medway. At the age of twenty-one he
was ordained and installed 23 December 1724 as the second pastor of the Church of
Christ. Nathan remained in this post for sixty-two years (Rev. E. O. Jameson,
History of Medway, Massachusetts 1713 to 1885 [Medway Mass., 1886], p. 347).
Nathan names all his children in his will except for Mary, Samuel and Sarah.
Samuel died when he was but three years old and Sarah died at the age of twenty-
five. It can be presumed that Mary was also dead when he signed his will 6

more ambitious work, that should comprehend sketches of indi
