Tamison

The fact that John Mayo's widow was the same person as William Lumpkin's widow is established by the following: 1. In the settlement of John Mayo's estate [Md.9:119], is states: "Mistris Tamasin Mayo the Relict of Mr. John Mayo above mensioned made oath to the truth of this Inventory soe farr as shee knowes; excepting onely the Goods and estate which shee had before theire Intermarriage, which shee had not Claimed Right nor power to Dispose of but onely to use while they lived together as, as shee affeirmeth and to bring in what further shee may know the 2cond of June 1676". 2. Court Orders, V., 7 June 1787: [MD 9:121]: Adminstrators appointed to "the estate of Mr. John Mayo Deceased...with Reference unto his wifes prte and amonst his Children" 3. A church record in the hand-writing of Rev. Increase Mather says: "In the beginning of the year 1670, Mr. Mayo, the pastor, grew very infirm. On the 15th of April he removed his person, and his goods also from Boston to reside with his daughter in Barnstable, ..." In ["The Reverend John Mayo, Genealogy" by E. Jean Mayo, p.2] 4. The rarity of the name Tamison. 5. No known records of a Tamison Lumpkin after William Lumpkin's death aside from those known under the name of Tamison Mayo. 6. The close connection between the Lumpkins and Mayos as evidenced by the marriage of their children Samuel and Thomasine. Number 1 and 2 above show that they had not been married long at the time of Rev. John Mayo's death. Record 3 shows that John Mayo was wifeless in 1670, so that his widow was not his original wife. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Her Possible Roots: A 1990 submission to I.G.I. by "Director 088-002A, Nancy Ruth Waldo Clement, 9 Collier St., St. Catherines, Ontario Canada L2P2RD" stated the following information: Thomasine Constable born 1605 in West Rasen, Lincoln, England, died 1682; daughter of Marmaduke Constable and Ann ---. It shows her husband William Lumpkin born 19 Jan 1584 at St. Peter, Lincolnshire, England, died 1671, son of Richard Lumpkin (no mother named). The Constable/Lumpkin marriage is given as 1625 at Barnstable, Barnstable Co., Mass. A note on the back shows "Thomasine Constable md (2) Rev. John Mayo." The source was given as "James Savage - I.G.I, or possibly 1.6.1, but is not to be found in Savage's genealogical dictionary of New England. Courtesy of ed.chapman@idealink.washington.dc.us
