; from Ancestry.com: Francis Willoughby Immigrant Ancestors
Born: Bet. 1612-1614 London, England Married: Abt 1658 England
Died: 06/Apr/1671 Charleston, Middlesex, MA
FATHER. William Willoughby.
MOTHER. Elizabeth Locke.
WIFE. Margaret Locke.
CHILDREN with Margaret Locke.
1. Francis Willoughby.

3. Susanna Willoughby.

"Francis Willoughby, merchant, lived both in England and New England. He returned to England in 1640, where he married his second wife, Susan Taylor. He returned again in 1651 and remained until 1662, serving as Commissioner of the Navy at Portsmouth for eight years; he wed his third wife, Margaret, circa 1659. Francis, Deputy-Governor of Massachusetts, was admitted an inhabitant of Charleston August 22, 1638."

There is discrepency over the name of his first wife and the names of the children born of this first marriage. His third wife apparently was Margaret Locke and the third child of this marriage, Susannah, was born in MA in 1664. He was a shipwright in Wappingwall, England in 1635 and must have immigrated to MA about 1640. He "bound himself to pay 400 pounds to Thomas Bragne, his brother-in-law, and William Webb of London, in trust as a provision for his third wife, Margaret (Locke) Willoughby. He became a Commisioner of the Royal Navy, a selectman, deputy, magistrate 1650-1654 and then Deputy Governor of Massachusetts 1665-67 and 1668-70.

A book called "The Dayly Observation of an Impassioned Puritan"; a seventeenth century shorthand diary is attributed to Deputy Governor Francis Willoughby of Massachusetts by Francis Sypher in 1981. It has 17 pages.

From Family Histories and Genealogies by Salisbury, 1892
"Francis Willoughby was admitted an inhabitant of the town of Charlestown, in New England, August 22, 1638. According to the town records his property at the time consisted of one parcel of ground, with a house upon it situated to the south of the Mill Hill, facing north upon Elbow or Crooked Lane (afterwards Bow Street), with the Charles River to the south, another lane on the east, and the garden-plots of Tho. Brigden and Ab. Pratt on the west. Beyond these latter was the land of Ed. Johnson, the western boundary of which was Hayles Lane. He had also commons for one milch-cow, bought of Peter Garland; two lots of arable land, of two and four acres, along the south side of Mystick River; five acres of woodland in Mystick Field, and some twenty acres of land in Waterfield. The next year he bought of Sarah widow of Tho. Ewer a house and garden-plot, in the Middle Tow, with the Market Place (or Square) to the south and west; Dock Lane (or Water Lane) to the south-east and land of Increase Nowell to north-east. In 1640 some 'remote land' as it was styled, was set off from Charlestown and known as Charlestown Village, to be incorporated in 1642 under the name of Woburn. Some 3000 acres of this tract, called the 'land of Nod,' afterwards part of Wilmington, had been granted at an early period to different individuals, Francis Willoughby, having 300 acres, which he subsequently increased by purchase of 1150 acres more, which had been granted to Capt. Naler and Capt. John Allen..

"Our ancestors Judge Simon Lynde and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby were in social and public life in Massachusetts at the same time, and of the same rank, and must have met frequently. But we have not found their names associated, nor could we expect to do so. Simon Lynde having early in life kissed the hand of Charles I, always gave his fealty to that Kind and to his son, and was ready to maintain the King's prerogative; while Willoughby's father and himself had been active member of the Government which deposed and beheaded Charles I, and his own powerful influence both in England and in this country was always in favor of liberty to the people."⁷

; N.B. The link of Col. William Willoughby and his son Dep. Gov. Francis Willoughby to either the Willoughbys of Eresby or those of Parham as discussed in Greenwood [1876:67-78] and Salisbury [1892:517-23] was disproven by Everingham [1980:12-13]. Copies attached.

     from Salisbury [1892, pp. 560-562]: [quote] The foregoing pages embrace the principal facts which are known respecting Col. William Willoughby, and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby. We will now give the results of our investigations in respect to their English ancestry. We began by analyzing the arms which, as we have seen, were borne both by Col. William Willoughby and by his son Francis handed down to us on the mural monument of the former, in the Church of St. Thomas at Portsmouth, and on the seal of the latter. We have a water-color copy, and a photograph, of the monument ; and a clear copy in wax of the seal.
     As the result of Mr. Greenwood's investigations and our own, in regard to the arms, we give the following. The arms of the early Willoughbys de Eresby were undoubtedly Or fretty Azure. These were borne by Robert de Wilegby, afterwards Lord Willoughby de Eresby, at the siege of Caerlaverock in December 1299, when he attended King Edward I. The earliest crest mentioned in the collections of Glover, the Somerset Herald of the time of Elizabeth, who drew up an account of the Willoughby family, is a bat or demi-bat volant, the wings fretty. On the monument of Richard Bertie Esq. and his wife Catharine11 Willoughby (Duchess of Suffolk by her first marriage) daughter and sole heiress of William Willoughby Baron de Eresby, there is an escutcheon of Willoughby and Beke quartered, with "a bat displayed," as the crest of Willoughby. The bat is also found with Willoughby among the armorial bearings on the monument of their son Peregrine Bertie, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, where the mantlings are, as described, " Gules, doubled Argent." But from a manuscript in the Library of Canterbury, we have his arms as borne in 1590, in which the crest is the full, round, fierce head of a lion, with wings of a bat on either side, fretty. This later crest with a distinct lions face and a bat's wings Or fretty Azure is engraved in Edmondson's " Baronagium Genealogicum " as that carried by Robert Bertie, the son of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby, who succeeded his father as Lord Willoughby de Eresby in 1601, and was created Earl of Lindsey in 1626. By consulting our Pedigree of Willoughby it will be seen that Robert Bertie descended from Sir Christopher Willoughby, who was also the ancestor of Thomas Willoughby Esq., Sheriff of Kent in 1590, and of Sir Percival, who married Bridget daughter of Sir Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, and niece of Margaret Willoughby Maid of Honor to Princess Elizabeth. Finally, Lady Georgina Bertie, in her " Five Generations of a Loyal House," shows us, as Willoughby arms, frctty Or and Aztire, a full-faced helmet, over which a wreath, and on it the crest a lions head and neck couped at the shoulders, with wings expanded andfretty.

It will thus be seen that the bat's face of the early Willoughbys had been changed to that of a lion, while the bat's wings had been retained. The bat's face having fallen into disuse, no care appears to have been taken to retain the exact form of bat's wings. For Sir Francis Willoughby, knighted in Ireland in 1610, used for crest a lions headguardant couped at the shoulders Or, between two wings expanded Or fretty Aztire, the kind of wings not being described..

Now what were the arms borne by Col. William Willoughby and his son the Deputy-Governor, emblazoned on a conspicuous monument to the former on the interior wall of a church ; and used publicly by the latter, as shown by his seal attached to a business-paper?.

In the first place, the shield is Or fretty Azure; secondly, the crest is distinctly a lions headguardant, couped at the shozdders Or, between two wings expanded. Mantled Gules, doubled Argent that is, the arms of themural tablet and seal are those which belonged from the first, and have always belonged, to the Willoughbys de Eresby, with that modification,
as to crest, which was used by Peregrine Bertie, a descendant in the fourth generation from Sir Christopher Willoughby of the de Eresby line. While this crest is still retained among the family devices, and thus belongs to Lord Middleton, and others, it has been generally displaced by a man's bust ducally crowned, now used by the lines of Willoughby de Eresby.

There is but one discrepancy between the two emblazonments that is, that the high, stiff, bat-like, but indistinct, wings of the lion, on the mural tablet, are painted Gnles. This is easily accounted for. Any one who inthese days has had dealings with heraldic draughtsmen, knows the difficulty of securing accuracy, even now, and can easily understand how the mistake might have been made, nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, by the original heraldic painter, or, more probably, by some later restorer, in painting the wings Gufes, when the mantlings which surrounded them were partly of that color.

We find that Col. Willoughby was thirteen years of age when Peregrine Bertie, tenth Lord Willoughby de Eresby, died ; that Peregrine's son Robert, eleventh Lord Willoughby de Eresby and first Earl of Lindsey, died in 1642, and was succeeded by his son Montague, twelfth LordWilloughby de Eresby and second Earl of Lindsey, who died in 1666, leaving successors. Of course, the Colonel and his son, as well as the public at large, were familiar with the armorial bearings of these noblemen ; and they could not have used the same arms without full assurance that they were of the same de Eresby lineage.

The shield and crest of Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby are the same as those of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and of the Colonel, better drawn than those of the latter. In the minute cutting on the seal we can discern the " fretty " on the wings. The seal shows the " closed visor in profile " appropriated to esquires and gentlemen ; not the open bars of the "grated helmet in profile" (common to all degrees of the peerage under a duke) of his father's arms. As the distinction between the helmets of noblemen and gentlemen had not become fixed in Col. Willoughby's time he used the full arms as they had come down fromhis early titled ancestors.".

      ; N.B. The link of Col. William Willoughby and his son Dep. Gov. Francis Willoughby to either the Willoughbys of Eresby or those of Parham as discussed in Greenwood [1876:67-78] and Salisbury [1892:517-23] was disproven by Everingham [1980:12-13]. Copies attached.

     from Salisbury [1892, pp. 560-562]: [quote] The foregoing pages embrace the principal facts which are known respecting Col. William Willoughby, and Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby. We will now give the results of our investigations in respect to their English ancestry. We began by analyzing the arms which, as we have seen, were borne both by Col. William Willoughby and by his son Francis handed down to us on the mural monument of the former, in the Church of St. Thomas at Portsmouth, and on the seal of the latter. We have a water-color copy, and a photograph, of the monument ; and a clear copy in wax of the seal.
     As the result of Mr. Greenwood's investigations and our own, in regard to the arms, we give the following. The arms of the early Willoughbys de Eresby were undoubtedly Or fretty Azure. These were borne by Robert de Wilegby, afterwards Lord Willoughby de Eresby, at the siege of Caerlaverock in December 1299, when he attended King Edward I. The earliest crest mentioned in the collections of Glover, the Somerset Herald of the time of Elizabeth, who drew up an account of the Willoughby family, is a bat or demi-bat volant, the wings fretty. On the monument of Richard Bertie Esq. and his wife Catharine11 Willoughby (Duchess of Suffolk by her first marriage) daughter and sole heiress of William Willoughby Baron de Eresby, there is an escutcheon of Willoughby and Beke quartered, with "a bat displayed," as the crest of Willoughby. The bat is also found with Willoughby among the armorial bearings on the monument of their son Peregrine Bertie, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, where the mantlings are, as described, " Gules, doubled Argent." But from a manuscript in the Library of Canterbury, we have his arms as borne in 1590, in which the crest is the full, round, fierce head of a lion, with wings of a bat on either side, fretty. This later crest with a distinct lions face and a bat's wings Or fretty Azure is engraved in Edmondson's " Baronagium Genealogicum " as that carried by Robert Bertie, the son of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby, who succeeded his father as Lord Willoughby de Eresby in 1601, and was created Earl of Lindsey in 1626. By consulting our Pedigree of Willoughby it will be seen that Robert Bertie descended from Sir Christopher Willoughby, who was also the ancestor of Thomas Willoughby Esq., Sheriff of Kent in 1590, and of Sir Percival, who married Bridget daughter of Sir Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, and niece of Margaret Willoughby Maid of Honor to Princess Elizabeth. Finally, Lady Georgina Bertie, in her " Five Generations of a Loyal House," shows us, as Willoughby arms, frctty Or and Aztire, a full-faced helmet, over which a wreath, and on it the crest a lions head and neck couped at the shoulders, with wings expanded andfretty.

It will thus be seen that the bat's face of the early Willoughbys had been changed to that of a lion, while the bat's wings had been retained. The bat's face having fallen into disuse, no care appears to have been taken to retain the exact form of bat's wings. For Sir Francis Willoughby, knighted in Ireland in 1610, used for crest a lions headguardant couped at the shoulders Or, between two wings expanded Or fretty Aztire, the kind of wings not being described..

Now what were the arms borne by Col. William Willoughby and his son the Deputy-Governor, emblazoned on a conspicuous monument to the former on the interior wall of a church ; and used publicly by the latter, as shown by his seal attached to a business-paper?.

In the first place, the shield is Or fretty Azure; secondly, the crest is distinctly a lions headguardant, couped at the shozdders Or, between two wings expanded. Mantled Gules, doubled Argent that is, the arms of themural tablet and seal are those which belonged from the first, and have always belonged, to the Willoughbys de Eresby, with that modification,
as to crest, which was used by Peregrine Bertie, a descendant in the fourth generation from Sir Christopher Willoughby of the de Eresby line. While this crest is still retained among the family devices, and thus belongs to Lord Middleton, and others, it has been generally displaced by a man's bust ducally crowned, now used by the lines of Willoughby de Eresby.

There is but one discrepancy between the two emblazonments that is, that the high, stiff, bat-like, but indistinct, wings of the lion, on the mural tablet, are painted Gnles. This is easily accounted for. Any one who inthese days has had dealings with heraldic draughtsmen, knows the difficulty of securing accuracy, even now, and can easily understand how the mistake might have been made, nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, by the original heraldic painter, or, more probably, by some later restorer, in painting the wings Gufes, when the mantlings which surrounded them were partly of that color.

We find that Col. Willoughby was thirteen years of age when Peregrine Bertie, tenth Lord Willoughby de Eresby, died ; that Peregrine's son Robert, eleventh Lord Willoughby de Eresby and first Earl of Lindsey, died in 1642, and was succeeded by his son Montague, twelfth LordWilloughby de Eresby and second Earl of Lindsey, who died in 1666, leaving successors. Of course, the Colonel and his son, as well as the public at large, were familiar with the armorial bearings of these noblemen ; and they could not have used the same arms without full assurance that they were of the same de Eresby lineage.

The shield and crest of Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby are the same as those of Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and of the Colonel, better drawn than those of the latter. In the minute cutting on the seal we can discern the " fretty " on the wings. The seal shows the " closed visor in profile " appropriated to esquires and gentlemen ; not the open bars of the "grated helmet in profile" (common to all degrees of the peerage under a duke) of his father's arms. As the distinction between the helmets of noblemen and gentlemen had not become fixed in Col. Willoughby's time he used the full arms as they had come down fromhis early titled ancestors.".

Patentee -- Royal Charter of Connecticut from Charles II of England, 1662. One of the twelve appointed Assistants of said Company established in said Royal Charter. Ensign -- Wethersfield Trainband, Feb. 1653. Corporal -- Connecticut Colonial Troop, March 1658. Richard was baptized under the name Trott, married under the name Trett; his children were baptized as Trott, and Tratt, and he was called Treat when he died. It is not known when he came to the colonies. Some theorized he settled in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1637, but he is first recorded at Wethersfield, CT September 6, 1641, when he recorded his purchase of John Whitmore's house, barn and 12-1/2 acres of land. On November 13 1654, Richard and his son Richard were censured by the Particular Court saying "there is several in Wethersfield hath not upheld theire howses upon theire home lotts according as the Law requires ...." He was one of the judges who presided over the witchcraft trial of Nathaniel Greensmith and his wife, in December of 1662. Extracts from the Pitminster Church, Pitminster, Somerset, England, visitor brochure concerning the Trott / Treat family: present organ was built by Messrs. Minns of Taunton in 1905 and has an oak case presented by John Harvey Treat of America, who also gave the clock tower in 1903. The name Treat is also connected with the oldest bell in the present ring of eight bells. The bell of 1630 was cast at Nvnehead, a few miles away, by two brothers from a famous family of bell-founders, Richard and Roger Purdie. In all, three bells were then cast at the order of the young Vicar, Walter Travers, but the question of payment caused discontent among some folks in the parish. They were led by one Richard Trott, a respected yeoman. Some years after the case had been heard in the Bishop's Court at Wells, Richard Trott, (then aged 53) emigrated to the New World with his large family. He became a leader of the English colony of Connecticut (his surname then spelt as 'Treat"), his son Robert was made Governor and one of his very numerous descendants signed the Declaration of Independence. His story is told on the memorial tablet fixed to the north wall. Plaques found in the Pitminster Church, Pitminster, Somerset, England include:
IN MEMORY OF RICHARD TREAT, ALIAS TROTT, BAPTIZED IN THIS CHURCH AUG. 28 1584 WHO EMIGRATED TO NEW ENGLAND WITH HIS FAMILY IN 1637 AND WAS CREATED ONE OF THE PATENTEES OF THE CHARTER OF THE COLONY OF CONNECTICUT, BY KING CHARLES II IN 1662. HIS SON ROBERT TREAT WAS BAPTIZED FEB. 25 1624 AND WAS DEPUTY GOVERNOR AND GOVERNOR OF THE COLONY FOR 30 YEARS. THIS BRASS WAS ERECTED IN 1902 BY THEIR AMERICAN DESCENDANT JOHN HARVEY TREAT OF AMERICA. THE EAST WINDOW WAS DEDICATED BY THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS THE REVEREND GEORGE LEONARD CARY ON 2ND JULY 1989.

; from Ancestry.com: [quote]In the ancient church of St. Andrew and St. Mary in the hamlet of South Trundle, parish of Trull, Pitminster, Co. Somerset, Eng., is a Memorial Brass, erected (1903) bearing the following inscription: " In memory of Richard Treat, alias Trott, Baptized in this Church, Aug. 28, 1584, who emigrated to New England with his family , in 1637, and was one of the Patentees of the Charter of the Colony of Connecticut, by King Charles II, in 1662. His son, Robert Treat, was baptized February 25th, 1624 and was Deputy Governor and Governor of the Colony, for 30 years. This Brass was erected, in 1902, by their descendant John Harvey Treat, of America.".

There seems to be some discrepancy as to Richard Treat's wife. In the Hollister Family of America compiled by Lafayette Case on page 28, "He married first, Joanna, by whom he had several children, among whom were Robert, governor of Connecticut for many years, and Joanna, wife of Lieut John Hollister. His second wife Alice survived him, and is mentioned in his will. He died in 1669."

However in Ancient Wethersfield, Conn. by Henry R. Stiles, Vol II on Genealogies and Biographies, page 711, "...m. in Eng.(under the name of Trett) 27 Apl., 1615, Alice (dau. Hugh) Gaylord, of P., b. 1594. Their ch. were all b. in Eng.--under the name of Trott and Tratt." [end quote]¹²

; Ancestry.com: [quote] HON. RICHARD TREAT, SR.
Richard Treat, Sr., was one of the first settlers of Wethersfield, and represented that town in the first general court in 1637. He was appointed in 1642 by the general court, in connection with Gov. Wyllys, Messrs. Haines, Hopkins, Whiting, and others, to superintend building a ship, and to collect a revenue for that object. In 1643 he was a colonial grand juror, and in 1644 a member of the general court to which he was several times re‰lected. From 1658 to 1665, he was an assistant magistrate of the colony and was named in the royal charter of Charles II. as one of the patentees. He was one of the collectors of the Fenwick tax and of the fund for the support of students in the college at Cambridge.from [end quote].¹⁶

The family came to New England after 1637, the first mention of them in CT being in 1643. Richard Treat died in 1669-70; hi8s wife died in 1694.
