A royal land grant made his property the Lordship and Manor of Queens Village. His son, Henry Lloyd, inherited the land and constructed the first manor house. In 1763, Henry’s sons, Henry, John, Joseph and James, inherited the estate.

From Edward Antill to Henry Lloyd (October 5, 1725)

The Letter wherein You thought it not proper that Aurelia should be Hyred under Nine Pounds per Annum, is the reason that she is not yet Disposed of & I believe will not till she be let at a lower rate. I had once hyred her out for Eight pounds upon liking, but upon receipt of Your letter took her home again. 1725. From Henry Lloyd to Mrs. Smith I just now received a letter from Mr. Antill by which I find Aurelia is with you in order to be forwarded to me, but that she is obstinate in refuseing to come. I am to well used to Negroes resolutions to have any regard to them. What I aim at is the complyance with my Sister Lloyds desire & interest. I have no business for her & had much rather she were hyred out in the City & shall be much oblidged to you if you’l please to contribute towards hyreing her into some good family on as good terms as you can which will be most for my Sisters intrest & by far more agreeable to me than to have her with me. On the Bearers returne I expect to hear further in the mean time If she remains as she is it may be as Well. I have given you the trouble of this Supposing Mr Antill in the Country to whom with his Lady please to give my humble Service & accept the same from
Madam Your H[umble] S[ervant] H Lloyd

1725/26. From Paschal Nelson to Henry Lloyd
Dear Brother: This is wrote in behalf of your Sister Lloyd who has received yours, which was inclosed to me, by the Beaver. She now Sends you a Letter of Attorney that you may solely manage her Affairs in New York and not let them be under the direction of so many persons. And as she takes notice of what you write concerning her Negroes, that the People to whom they are hired out bring the Charges for their Clothing upon a par with their Wages, so she also fears the familiar Management and Carriage wherwith such servants are treated amongst the Dutch will spoil them, She desireth You would take them all home to your house where she hopes their Work will compensate for their Maintenance and if it over doth she had rather you, than any other should have some Advantage by them, seeing none will accrue to her by their hire; And she desires you to keep them there with you till you hear farther from her or see her again, for she intends if she can in any manner get her Brother Col: Ely’s consent, to return to those parts again. But the Negro Man Jack who is a Butcher is to remain in York as he is now, that is to pay his Mistress 12L per annum and find himself in all things. February, 1725/6

Sir: I received by Col.

I have not paid Beekman anything he absolutely refusing to any, till he can have all together. The principal occasion of thisis to inform you that since my being in New York I received a Letter from my Sister Lloyd (now Minzies) in answer to one I wrote her acquainting her with Beekmans resolutions and the Methods I should be oblidged to take wherein she expresses a high resentment at the mention of selling the Negros and says will have them again if it cost her ten times the value, but withall says her Brother and Sister Orgil will be in York in May or June. as I am willing to do every thing consisting with my safety I have Deferred proceeding any further on sale of the Negros since she tells me by them the money shall without fail be paid. I immediately acquainted Beekman with this and desired he would wait June out which He consents to, my letter having reached the day Aurelia was to be Exposed to sale at Vandue. I have been the more perticular in this affair
because I would intreat the favour that on Mr Orgil’s arrival as you happen to meet with him you’l please aquaint him therewith and that as soon as my affairs will permit after notice of his arrival I will see him in York. I am with due respect Sir.

Baptized Great Coggeshall, Essex, England, 18 February 1602/3, son of Rev. Thomas and Katherine (_____) Stoughton. Came from Rotherhithe, Surrey to Massachusetts Bay in 1632. He settled in Dorchester, but returned to England in 1644 and died there. Died in Lincoln, England, 1644.

Married in Rotherhithe, Surrey, England, 27 March 1627, Elizabeth Knight. She died at Dorchester on 6 August 1681.

Israel was brother of THOMAS STOUGHTON of Dorchester and Windsor was an elder brother of Israel Stoughton, and = Rev. John Stoughton, who, although he did not come to New England, did marry the widow of the Rev. Ralph Cudworth of Great Coggeshall, Essex, and Aller, Somersetshire, thus making Thomas and Israel stepuncles of James Cudworth of Scituate.

Colonel Israel Stoughton's house was situated at the northeast corner of Savin Hill Avenue and Pleasant Street.
He had the distinction of building the first mill in New England to grind corn by water. It stood in the Neponset River at the Lower Mills. In the early years of the settlement, Massachusetts had to buy corn from Virginia and from the local Narragansetts. In 1631 Chief Chickatawbut donated a hogshead to the Governor. In 1634 food was still scarce, and Massachusetts bought 400 bushels of corn from the Narragansetts. Israel Stoughton set up a water mill at the Lower Mills to grind the grain.

Stoughton's mill is mentioned both in the town records and in those of the Massachusetts Bay colony. Said to be the first grist mill in the country, it was installed to grind corn purchased from native Americans due to the shortages in the colony.

Dorchester Town Records

Nov. 3, 1633 ... it is generally agreed that Mr. Israel Stoughton shall build a water mill, if he see cause.

Jan. 6, 1633/4 ...it is ordered that Mr. Israell Stoughton shall have the privaladge of a weare at Naponset adjoyning to his mill ...

Nov. 3, 1634 ... it also ordered that their shall be a sufficient cartway be made to the mill at Naponset ...

and from the 1859 History of the Town of Dorchester, p. 33:

The town granted leave to Mr. Israel Stoughton to build a water mill [in 1633], and in January following, the mill and a bridge over Neponset being completed ...

Stoughton gained his title from his command of the Massachusetts forces during the Pequot War. He served as representative in 1634 and was the Governor's Assistant for many years.

Israel Stoughton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israel Stoughton (1603?-1644) was an early English colonist in Massachusetts, and later a Parliamentarian officer in the First English Civil War.

Life
Born in England, a younger brother of John Stoughton, he emigrated to New England in 1632. He settled at Dorchester, of which he was admitted a freeman on 5 November 1633. He was chosen representative for Dorchester in the assemblies of 1634 and 1635.

When the colony was disturbed by the antinomian disputes, Stoughton wrote a book which attacked the constitution of the colony and offended the general court. The author somewhat strangely petitioned that the book might be ‘forthwith burnt, as being weak and offensive.’ In spite of Stoughton's subsequent submission, he was declared incapable of holding office for three years. This sentence, however, was remitted in 1636, and Stoughton was chosen assistant in 1637.

He was entrusted with the command of the Massachusetts force against the Pequot Indians, where he took brutal measures. Stoughton was annually chosen as assistant till 1643, and in 1639 he, together with John Endecott acted as a commissioner on behalf of Massachusetts to settle a boundary dispute with Plymouth Colony.

Stoughton visited England towards the end of 1643 or the beginning of 1644, returned to America, and crossed again towards the end of 1644. He was then appointed a lieutenant-colonel in the parliamentary army, and soon afterwards died at Lincoln. His children included William Stoughton, best known as the chief magistrate of the Salem witch trials.

Notes:

Dissident Preacher and Writer. Fellow of Queens College, Cambridge.

Stoughton matriculated pensioner from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1573, received his B.A. from Queens College 1577, his M.A. 1580. He was ordained deacon and priest at Lincoln Cathedral on Feb. 13, 1582, and was brought to the attention of Robert, 3rd Lord Rich by John Butler of Thoby Priory, Essex, and continued to benefit from Rich's patronage for many years. He was rector of Naughton from 1586 until 1594, at which time he was made curate of Great Burstead, Essex. He published A general treatise against poperie, and in defence of the religion by publike avthoritie professed in England and other churches reformed (Cambridge, 1598), which was dedicated to Lord Rich. In 1600 he was instituted vicar at Coggeshall at Lord Rich's presentation, but due to his nonconformity he was admonished by Bishop Richard Vaughan and deprived of Coggeshall by the High Commission in 1606. Despite being removed from his living it was reported in 1606 that he 'doeth often expound the Word in his deske'. In 1610 at Great Totham, Essex, he signed the dedicatory epistle to his work The dignitie of Gods children. By 1616 he had returned to his native Sandwich, where he remained living in poverty until his death. He continued to expound on his beliefs, publishing Two Profitable Treatises in 1616, followed up in 1622 with The Christians Sacrifice, a text of some 251 pages, which was dedicated to his patron, who had since purchased the title Earl of Warwick. He signed the dedicatory epistle to this on 20 Aug. 1622 from 'my poore lodging in the poor Hospitall called S. Bartholomewes by Sandwich in Kent', and further stated he was now 'ready to be dissolved, and to laye down my earthly Tabernacle...the time of my departing being at hand...' Two days later he appended the work with The Authors postscript to his Children as it were his Last Will and Testament unto them.

At the end of his life he recalled being present at Hampton Court 43 years earlier, where he heard ministers preaching before Queen Elizabeth.

In 1606 Stoughton was a legatee, along with others, in the will of Timothy Saint Nicholas, who 'moste humblie thanckinge them for their faithefull endeavor and for their earnest labour and paines for the instruction of my conscience and the consciences of many men in the knowledge of Gods truthe and relligion'. Described as 'a silenced preacher', he received a bequest in the 1610 will of Alice Wade of Bildeston, Suffolk, and in 1612 was mentioned in the will of his first cousin Thomas Stoughton of St Paul's Parish, Canterbury. In the 1619 will of Charles Eure, esquire, fourth son of William, 2nd Lord Eure, Stoughton being described as of St Bartholomews in Sandwich, Kent, received the generous bequest of £10.

Thomas married Katherine Evelyn Montpesson in 1585 in Naughton, Suffolk, England. Katherine was born in 1564 in Naughton, Suffolk, England; died on 18 Apr 1603 in Naughton, Suffolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Elizabeth. Elizabeth was born in 1580 in , , , England; died about 1624 in St Michael Wood Street, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
