If this is the same Isaac Onge who was baptized at Lavenham on 1 July 1627, he would be forty-three years old at this date. But there was an Isaac Onge who resided in Essex County in the 1660s and who in June 1661 deposed that he was twenty-five years old [EQC 2:286], and so born about 1636, long after the husband of Frances Onge had died. There does not seem to be any way that he could be a grandson of Frances Onge. One solution to this dilemma might be that the age given by Isaac in 1661 was misrecorded, and should have been thirty-five, which would be quite close to the Lavenham baptism. Alternatively, he might be related more distantly to the Onge family being discussed here. Frances Onge was granted six acres in the Beaverbrook Plowlands, which would indicate that her household could have held no more than six persons, and there are at least five candidates: Frances herself, sons Simon and Jacob, and daughters Mary and Elizabeth (assuming their presence on the basis of arguments given above). Under some circumstances the sixth might be Isaac." _______________________ Source : "On the first day of December, 1630, Francis Ong, with his wife Frances and three sons, Simon (2), Jacob (3) and Isaac (4), set sail in the good ship "Lyon" from Bristol, England, for Boston, in the colony of Massachuetts Bay,, in the New World. They arrived at Boston on the 5th of February, 1631, after a dangerous, severe and long voyage. ..." _______________________ Source : "... Notes for Edmond Ong: ... Sir John Winthrop the first governor of Mass. records the safe arrival of the "Lyon". Mr. He writes "The ship Lyon, Mr.William Pierce, master, arrived at Nantasket (later named Boston). The Lyon brought with her godly minister Mr. Williams with his wife, Mr. Throcmorton, Perkins, and Ong and others with their wives and kin, about 20 passengers and about 200 tons of goods. The fact that Gov. Winthrop mentions only four of the passengers leads one to believe they were leaders of the party. On July 25, 1636 the widow Francis became the proprietor of 30 acres of land in Watertown on the Charles River near Boston. Two months later she obtained 6 acres of land "in the Hither Plain, near the river." Francis died at the age of 55 and was buried on Nov 12, 1638. Five hears following her death, the children of Francis Ong received property based on debt owed by their mother. The history of Watertown, Mass. the first inland settlement in the Mass. Bay Colony and early home of Francis and her sons dates from 1630 when Gov. Winthrop's fleet arrived in the area with 1,000 people. This group split into 2 congregations (Puritan and Quakers) and signed two church covenants. One group settled in Boston while the other numbering over 100 families moved inland to the spot that became Watertown. Watertown, first known as Saltonstall Plantation, was one of the earliest of the Massachusetts Bay settlements, having been begun early in 1630 by a group of settlers led by Sir Richard Saltonstall and the Rev. George Phillips, and officially incorporated that same year. The first buildings were upon land now included within the limits of Cambridge. 2nd generation Isaac Ong resided in Watertown until at least 1670. We know that because of May 18th, 1670 he married Mary Underwood In Watertown, Middlesex, MA who was the daughter of Joseph Underwood and Mary Wilder. Shortly thereafter he made his way to New Jersey. He was living in the town Shrewsbury in the county of Manmouth in 1674. Isaac also married a second time to a woman named Sarah. Some believe that she was Mary's sister. It isn't know when Isaac married Sarah or if Mary died or the marriage went bad. All together it is known that Isaac fathered 7 children. It isn't sure whether Jacob's mother was Mary or Sarah. But if Mary and Sarah were sisters, then we would know if we are descendents of the Underwood family. Our ancester Jacob was born in 1672. It is know that Isaac and Mary were married in 1670. The oldest child Mary was born in 1671. Jacob was the second child. It is possible Mary could have died in childbirth and Jacob's mother was Sarah. The governor of Manmouth County, New Jersey was Richard Nichols. The founders of Manmouth bought land from the Indians. Among the purchasers were a number who had been victims of religious persecution. Manmouth promised freedom of religion. Issac was a Quaker, and this may have been the reason he moved to Manmouth. Issac bought land from the native Americans in 1674. Isaac died on June 13, 1698 in Mansfield, Burlington Co. New Jersey. In his will he left his plantation and all his personal property to his widow, Sarah. ..." _______________________ Source Par Edwin Salter: "ONG, OUNG\emdashIsaac Ong bought land of the Indians 1674, and was court crier 1683; his dau.
