Notes for Thomas North:
Research: There is a North family genealogy at the LDS center in NYC. This is probably the right Thomas, however, this Thomas also had five brothers, and one of their sons could possibly be the father of this Mary. I only have the one line from John, the immigrant from Yorkshire. Both the Newells and the Norths are all of Farmington, although the Newells could have come from Hartford or Wethersfield, as did most of the settlers of Farmington.

2642. Richard Bidwell, born 1587 in County Devon, ENG; died December 25, 1647 in Windsor, CT.

Notes for Richard Bidwell:
Bidwell is an old Saxon name, Bidduelf, which means "War Wolf" (battle wolf).Richard Bidwell came from England on the "Mary and John", commanded by Capt. Squeb, which left Plymouth, England in March of 1630.
The ship carried 140 men and women, who had been selected and assembled largely through the efforts of Reverend John White, of Dorchester, England and had come from the western counties of Devonshire, Dorsetshire, and Somerset. They had chosen to ministers to accompany them, both men who were interested in bringing the gospel to the Native inhabitants of the New World; Rev. John Maverick, an elderly man from Devon, and Rev. John Warham, both ordained in the established Church of England.
A dispute with Captain Squeb caused them to abandon their original plan to land in the Charles River, and the whole company was put ashore at Nantasket. The Mary and John was the first of the fleet of 1630 to arrive in Boston Harbor, and the captain probably did not want to risk navigating the uncharted channel. After some exploring in small boats, they finally settled at Matapan, which they named Dorchester, in honor of the home town of the Rev. White.
They stayed there five or six years, and after the smallpox plague had decimated the Indians in Connecticut, they removed to Suckiage (Harford), sending their goods by ship, and walking overland through the wilderness. They departed in October, 1637, arriving so late that winter came upon them unprepared. By November 15, the cold was so intense the river froze solid, and by December 1, their food ran out. The spectre of famine and death haunted their future.

BISSELL ANCESTRY
The Coat-of-Arms described in Burk's "Complete Armory," and registered at the College of Heralds, is as follows:

Arms--Gules, on a bend, Argent; three escallops, sable.

Crest--A demi-eagle with wings displayed, sable, charged on the neck with an escallop shell, orl.

Motto--In Recto Decus--Variously translated, "In Rectitude, Honor," and "Honor is to be found on the straight road."

The Coat-of-Arms used by General Daniel Bissell and his descendants varies from the original Bissell Coat-of-Arms in the shape of the shield and the drawing of the eagle. These differences are accounted for by the fact that the descent is through a cadet house. The motto is Paratus et Fidelis--"Ready and Faithful."

The name has many variations: Bisselle, Byssell, Bysselle, Bissel, Bessell; Buissel is found in the Doomsday Book; Buscel, commonly Bushell; Buscall, a Huguenot name in London, 1618; Bichell, Norman-French; Bushall, Bizzell, Bisley, Bixley, Beasley, Bussell.
It has been proved that the family of Bissell is of Huguenot origin. The author of the present record, in reading Volume II of Stiles' "Ancient Windsor," at the New York Public Library, found an entry in pencil, evidently made by some other searcher, reading, "John Bissell's Huguenot Bible in Weston, Pennsylvania."

The family of John Bissell, who settled in Windsor, Conn., is the only Bissell family definitely known to have come to this country and all the colonial families are descended therefrom.

("John Bissell, the Immigrant Ancestor and his family").

JOHN BISSELL was born in Somersetshire, Eng., 1590 or 1591, died at Windsor, Conn., Oct. 3, 1677. He married, first, in England. Neither the name nor the date of birth of this first wife is known and her death is variously recorded as 1640, May 21, 1641 and 1642. The "Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy," published by A. N. Marquis & Co., Chicago, gives the name of his first wife as Mary Drake, but this information may be erroneous, there being a possibility that the name was confused with that of Mary, the eldest daughter of John Bissell, who married Jacob Drake. John Bissell was married a second time, but the name of his second wife in unknown. In the "History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," by Henry R. Stiles, in the list of Deaths in Windsor in 1640, we find recorded the death of "John Bissell's wife," and, again in 1665, "the wife of John Bissell, Senior." In the "Genealogical Dictionary of New England," by James Savage, we find the following, relating to John Bissell, Senior: "His widow died 21st day of May following (the birth of Joyce in 164-) and his next widow died the 29th of November, 1665, but of both the names are unknown." Again in Stiles's "Ancient Windsor:" "Nathaniel doubtless resided on the river bank below the Scantic from the time of his marriage (1662)--John Bissell, Sr., evidently died here (at Nathaniel's).

JOHN BISSELL, of Plymouth, Mass., 1628, and Windsor, Conn., 1639/40, of Huguenot descent, came with wife Mary (Drake) Bissell, aged 26 years, and three children. Built the first ferry across the Connecticut River. He was made Juror at Hartford in 1640/43, October, 1645, March, 1647, 1648. He was Deputy to the General Court in 1642, and attended forty-six sessions of the General and Particular Court before the Union of New Haven and Connecticut Colonies, and served in all as Juror twelve sessions of the Court at Hartford. John Bissell was Proprietor of Stratford and Deputy there, 1645/59, and in 1654, Assistant Magistrate. See American Ancestry, Vol. II, p. 168. Some of the names of Soldiers found in an old book of Records; Capt. John Bissel, Nathaniel Bissel, John Terry, John Partee, and Thomas Moore. See State Archives, Hartford, Conn., Travel, 373/37, p. 196. John Bissell was the first Settler on the East Side of the Connecticut River at Windsor, Conn. He was a soldier in King Philip's War, in 1675; Capt. John Bissel and Nathaniel Bissel of Windsor, Troopers, in 1676. John Bissell in Troop of Cavalry of 60 members. In 1675, the Bissel House was used as the Garrison. See Col. Dau. 17th Century, p. 183; Index; John Bissel, 1591-1677, b. Eng., Served in King Philip's War in 1675, Deputy 1648-59, Windsor, Conn. See Soc. Col. Wars, p. 46, John Bissell was Quartermaster of a Troop of Horse at Hartford, Conn., in 1677. This is surprising, in view of the fact that John Bissell, Sr., would have been in his late eighties at this time. Yet in Stiles' account to King Philip's War, the statement is made, "In an old book of rates we find the following names of Windsor Troopers, who were in actual service and received 6s 8d each 'on war account': Captain John Bissell, John Bissell, Jr., and others. John Bissel, Jr., Capt. at Bolton, Deputy, 1751, Lieut., 1768. After King Philip's War, there seems to have been a

period of great distress in some of the New England Colonies, but not so great in Connecticut, for Connecticut sent Contributions to the other Colonies. In the "Account of what persons of Windsor gave to the voluntary contributions made for the poor in want in other Colonies," we find these contributions: John Bissel, 2s; John Bissell, Jr., 5s; Thomas Bissell, 1?, Samuel Bissell, 4s, and Nathaniel Bissell, 1?.

John Bissell died Oct. 3, 1677, aged 86 years. His will was dated Sept. 25, 1675; his sons John and Thomas made executors, Deacon John Morse and Hon.. Daniel Clark Overseers of his will. Codicil to his will dated April 6, 1677. Inventory was 520P, 16s, 3d. Appraised Oct. 22, 1677. John Bissell's first wife died May 21, 1641, and his next wife died Nov. 29, 1665.
