Lieutenant Francis Faulkner was the son of "Mr." Edmund Faulkner who came to America from Kingsclere, Southampton County, England, and was married in Salem, Mass., Feb. 4, 1657/58 [sic], by Mr. John Winthrop, to Dorothy Robinson, the marriage being the first on record of an Andover citizen. [NOTE: Lamson gives the wrong marriage year]. He was one of the ten Freeholders required by law to organize a Church there Oct. 24, 1645. He, with Mr. Woodbridge, the first pastor, negotiated the purchase of the Plantation from the Indians. He was one of the few honored with the title of "Mr." In a surprise by Indians April 18, 1676, "at Edmund Faulkner's they wreaked their vengeance on dumb animals...."

A journey of two hundred years ago from one town to another was made slowly and with many liabilities of delays from Indians, wild beasts, bad roads (if there were any at all), swollen streams, or dangers of being lost in storms or misled by imperfect landmarks of trees, stakes, and stones. "Entertainment for man and beast' was a frequent necessity in these wearisome journeys. The first man in a town frequently took in travelers as a courtesy; thus it often occurred that the Inn-Holder was one of the principal citizens. He was often also a "Vintnor." As the sale of liquor or strong drink to Indians made much trouble, the Court ordered that only the most trustworthy men should be licensed. The first on record to whom this license was granted in Andover was Mr. Edmund Faulkner in 1648. The Inns were frequently the resort of marriage, being the largest houses in town.

He was licensed in 1648 as the ﬁrst innkeeper in town. He was one of the ten freeholders who organized the Andover church, October 24, 1645, and was one of the few honored with the designation of “Mr.” in the records. He, with Mr. Wooldridge, negotiated the purchase of the plantation from the Indians and the family tradition says the price paid to the Chief Cutshamakin was twenty gallons of rum and a red coat. He took the oath of allegiance in Andover February 11, 1678, was selectman in 1674, town clerk 1675 and held other positions of honor.

In King Philips War the Indians attacked his house. Knocked off one of his cow’s horns, cut our her tongue, put a horse, ox and cow in a hovel and then set it on fire “only to show how they delighted in exercising in cruelty.” His daughter and her husband, Pasco Chubb, were killed by the Indians February 22, 1697-8, at Andover. The Indians were thus revenged for a cowardly and treacherous when Chubb’s was in command of Fort Pemiquid in 1696.

Edmund Faulkner and Dorothy Raymond (Robinson, Widow) were married 4 February 1647 by John Winthrop, in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. This was the first marriage on record of an Andover citizen.

Edmund Faulkner came first to Salem, and was the 9th settler in order of their coming to Andover, Massachusetts. In 1645 he was one of the founders of the First Church of Andover. He was licensed in 1648 as the first innkeeper in town. He was one of the ten freeholders who organized the Andover Church, October 24, 1645, and was one of the few honored with the designation of “Mr.” in the records. He was a selectman, and was town clerk in 1674-5. In 1662 Edmond Faulkner received £200 as a bequest from his brother “Francis Fawconer of Kingscleare, Hants, gent.” By this time, Edmond had already settled in Andover.

He made William Twiss of Andover his attorney in 1650 to collect legacy from the estate of his father, Richard Falconer, late of Kingsclear, Hampshire, England.

Edmund Faulkner took the oath of allegiance at Andover, February 11, 1678, and was selectman in 1674; town clerk 1676, and held other positions of honor. In 1686 he was the Constable of Andover.

INN KEEPER

He, with Mr. Woodbridge (the first pastor), negotiated the purchase of the plantation from the Indians and family tradition says the price paid to the Chief Cutshamakin (who was called the Chief of Massachusetts) was twenty gallons of rum and a red coat. In truth, not only was Cutshamakin not the supreme Indian ruler of Massachusetts, he didn’t even have enough authority to sell Andover.

King Phillip’s War: On April 18, 1676, King Phillip and Indians had a surprise attack on his house, knocked off one of his cow’s horns, cut out her tongue, put a horse, ox and cow into a hovel and then set it afire, “only to show how they delighted in exercising cruelty.” Edmond Faulkner’s house was burned, and his cattle were killed. There were many other attacks.

The recurring attacks by the Indians necessitated the erection of houses for safety, to which the scattered settlers might flee. The home of the Faulkner family at South Acton is one of those garrisons, or strong houses, of the territory originally included in Old Concord.

John Faulkner was one of twelve men who served from Andover with Capt. Gariner’s Company. They marched in the dead of winter into the Narragansett country, and Dec. 19th, met the hostile Indians in the celebrated Swamp fight, where they defeated and completely routed them.

A nephew, Col. Francis Faulkner, of Acton, Massachusetts, was chosen town clerk for 35 years successively from 1762. He was a member of the Provincial Congress, 1774, and a Representative in the G. C. 1783-4-5. He was also a member of the committee of safety, and of several other important committees held during the war of Independence. He held a commission in the military service of George III, but the arbitrary and oppressive acts of Great Britain caused him to renounce his allegiance to the Crown, and he became a strong advocate of the Revolution. In the spring of 1775 he was elected Major of regt. organized to oppose an anticipated British aggression. On the morning of April 19, 1775, a courier was sent to notify him that the British troops were on their way to Concord. He immediately discharged a gun three times in rapid succession, which was the alarm signal to call his men together. The courier arrived by daylight, and at sunrise Maj Faulkner marched with a goodly number of men who constituted a part of the command collected in Concord to oppose the operations of the British forces. He was in the skirmish there that morning, and with his men participated in the pursuit of the enemy to Charlestown. He was afterwards in several engagements during the war; was Lt. Col. 1776, and commanded the regt. Which guarded the prisoners after Burgoyne’s surrender, en route to Cambridge.

Following is an entry found regarding Edmund Falkner and his son-in-law, Joseph Marble: “I haue paid Joseph Marble 8s 7d which he say hee haue paid you: but I suppose tear is not so much dew to you: beside this yeare: for there was 4 11 1-4 of hopps: I sent you this Last summer the which I doe question whether you haue it upon accounts: Ed. Fawner.”

Edmund Faulkner’s Last Will and Testament: Edmund Faulkner was prominent in the affairs of the town of Andover, Massachusetts. In his will he left assets to his “son-in-law” Joseph Robinson (really his step-son.) Circumstances point to the fact that Edmund Faulkner married the widow Dorothy Robinson, and that Joseph Robinson was her son by an earlier marriage. Dorothy Robinson and her four-year-old son Joseph, had to have come from Kings Linne, Norfolk, England, where there were Fawlkners.

Edmund Faulkner died 18 January 1686 (about age 62) in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts. He was buried in the Old North Parish Burying Ground, North Andover, Essex, Massachusetts.

3. JOSEPH MARBLE (1650-1728)

3.a. MARY FAULKNER (1649-1725)

JOSEPH MARBLE, son of the immigrant ancestor of the Marble family (John Marble immigrated 1639) of Ashburnham, England, was born about 1650, to John Marble (1605-1695) and Judith Rand (1620-1720.)

His marriage record is in Andover, Massachusetts, where he married on 30 May 1671, Mary Faulkner who was born about 1649 in Andover, a daughter of Edmund Faulkner and Dorothy Raymond.

Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, was first settled about 1642 as Cochichewick. They had serious trouble with the Indians in 1676 and again in 1698. In 1692 more than 50 complaints were lodged against the Andoverites for bewitching, afflicting and consorting with the Devil. Three were hung; two of them women.

Joseph Marble at age of 19 was apprenticed to John Eames. 1671, on September 7, he was sued concerning a colt in his brother Samuel’s hands; and Samuel Marble, aged about 23, deposed that his brother Joseph left the horse in the meadow of a neighbor.

On 5 January 1673, Andover Records: “Granted ye 5th of January 1673 to Joseph Marble and to Samuel Marble a pcell (parcel) of low land, adjoining upon the south side and east end of their meadow the bought of Samuel Martin, and to be valued by the lot-lairers ye said Joseph & Samuell paying the true valuation to the towne.”

Apparently Joseph Marble was a Mason by occupation. It seems he signed his allegiance to Andover in 1692. He married a Mary Faulkner on May 30, 1671. His wife's parent's Edmund Faulkner and Dorothy Robinson were the first American citizens to be married. They married in Salem, Mass in the inn that they kept in 1647. Dorothy Robinson's first husband, Governor Winthrop died. Mary Faulkner's brother Frances married Abigail Dane, (daughter of the widowed Reverend Francis Dane considered one of the most influential Reverends in Andover). Frances and Abigail's two daughters, Abigail and Dorothy Faulkner were accused of witchcraft. They were tried but never condemned.

In 1681 Joseph was elected Constable of Andover. 1681, on March 6, Joseph Marble was chosen to survey the boundaries of a property dispute. Joseph was on the grand Jury which took part in the “Jail Delivery” when the witchcraft delusion began to subside in 1692, and much more listed in the Botsford Book.

Joseph posted bond with brother-in-law, Francis Faulkner, to release children Dorothy and Abigail Faulkner from Salem witch prison. A £100 bail bond promised by Francis Faulkner (husbandman) and Joseph Marble (mason) freed the sisters Dorothy and Abigail Faulkner (whose mother was still under a death sentence. She was not killed.)

In 1692 Joseph Marble was elected Fence Viewer. 1695, on March 4, Joseph Marble was elected as Grand Juryman. 1704, on September 18, Joseph purchased 165 acres in Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts. In 1725 and 1726 Joseph transferred land to his sons John and Edmund.

Joseph Marble died 2 August 1728, at the age of 78, in Marlborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

THE MARBLE FAMILY:

(I) Joseph Marble, the immigrant ancestor of the Marble family of Ashburnham, was born about 1650. He may have been son of a Nicholas Marble, who is found in Glucester, Massachusetts, as early as 1658. He was very likely a brother of Samuel Marble. Joseph and Samuel Marble settled in Andover, Massachusetts. Samuel, who seems to be the elder, had children: Samuel, born 1660, a brick mason; Freegrace, the progenitor of the Sutton branch of the family, given else where in this work; Enoch Noah, whose son Joseph died January 29, 1746, in the Louisburg expedition; Daniel; Job and Rebecca (twins), born 1695.

_________________________________________________

About 1650, Joseph Marble was born, possibly in Boston, Massachusetts. According to a listing in James Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of First Settlers of New England, Joseph was very likely a son of John and Judith Marble of Boston: if so then Joseph had at least one brother, John, born to John and Judith Marble in Boston on 10 Nov. 1646. There were probably other children of John and Judith.

His marriage record is in Andover, Mass., where he married on 30 May 1671 to Mary Faulkner who was born about 1649 in Andover, a daughter of Edmund Faulkner and Dorothy Robinson.

Joseph Marble and Mary Faulkner had at least seven children.

ANDOVER, Essex County, Massachusetts was first settled about 1642 as Cochichewick. They had serious trouble with the Indians in 1676 and again in 1698. In 1692 more than 50 complaints were lodged against the Andoverites for bewitching, afflicting and consorting with the Devil. Three were hang two of them women.

Posted 21 Apr 2014 by deblatzer

(Petition of the Andover Ministers and Twenty-Two Others -- October 1692)

To his Excellency the Governour, and Councill, & Representatives, now Assembled at Boston. The Humble Address of the ministers, and of some of the Inhabitants of Andover.

We being deeply sensible of the heavy judgment that the Righteous God hath brought upon this place, thought it our duty (after our earnest prayers to the God of Heaven, to give us help from our trouble) to lay before this Honourable Assembly, our present distressed estate, and to crave a redress of our greivances. It is well known that many persons of this Town, have been accused of witchcraft, by some distempered persons in these parts and upon complaint made have been apprehended and committed to prison. Now though we would not appear as Advocates for any who shall be found guilty of so horrid a crime, but we heartily desire that this place, and the whole land, may be purged from that great wickedness: yet if any of our #[freinds] friends and neighbours have been misrepresented, as tis possible some of them have been; wee would crave leave (if it might be without offence) to speak something in their behalf, haveing no other desighn therein, then that the truth may appear. We can truly give this Testimony of the most of them belonging to this Town, that have been accused, that they never gave the least occasion (as we hear of) to their neerest relations or most intimate acquaintance, to suspect them of witchcraft. Severall of the women that are accused were members of this church in full Communion, and had obtained a good report, for their blameless conversation, and their walking as becometh woemen professing godliness. But whereas it may be alledged, that the most of our people that have been apprehended for witchcraft, have upon Examination confessed it. To which we Answer that we have nothing to plead for those that freely and upon conviction own themselves guilty; but we apprehend the case of some of them to be otherwise. for from the information we have had and the discourse some of us have had with the prisoners, we have reason to think that the extream urgency that was used with some of them by their friends and others who privately examined them, and the fear they were then under, hath been an inducement to them to own such things, as we cannott since find thay are conscious of; and the truth of what we now declare, we judge will in time more plainly appear. And some of them have exprest to their neighbours that it hath been their great trouble, that they have wronged themselves and the truth in their confessions.

We are also very sensible of the disstressed condition of severall poor familyes, on whom this great trouble is fallen; some #[more] of our neighbors are like to be impoverished & ruin'd by the great charge they are at to maintain such of their familyes as are in Prison, and by the fees that are demanded of them, whose case we pray may be considered.

Our troubles which hitherto have been great, we foresee are like to continue and increase, if other methods be not taken then as yet have been, for there are more of our neighb'rs of good reputation & approved integrity, who are still accused, and complaints have been made against them, And we know not who can think himself safe, if the Accusations of children and others who are under a Diabolicall influence shall be received against persons of good fame.

We thought meet also to Signifye that not only persons of good creditt among our selves, but some Honorable & worthy men of other places, do suffer in their names by the acusations of afflicted people in this Town

Thus haveing given your Honors some account of our present troubles, we crave pardon for our boldness in this Address, and humbly pray this Honored Court to take into their serious consideration our low and distressed estate: And that the only wise God may bless yo'r counsels & Endeavors for the welfare of his people, shall be the prayer of

Dated at Andov'r 18'th Oct. 1692.

MARY FAULKNER was born about 1649 of Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, to Edmund Faulkner (1625-1686) and Dorothy Raymond (1624-1688.) She married Joseph Marble, 30 May 1671, in Andover.

Mary Faulkner passed away about 1725, of Marlborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts, at about age 76.

Wikitree:

Mary Faulkner was born about 1649.

She married Joseph Marble 30 May 1671 in Andover. Joseph, and Mary Fawkner, May 30, 1671.[1]

She passed away (probably) after 27 Feb 1724 (certainly after 29 March 1722) in (probably) Sudbury.

29 March 1722, Joseph Marble of Sudbury, yeoman, "and Mary my wife" (Mary surrendering her right of dower and power of thirds) convey to son Edmund "some certain pieces or parcels of upland and meadow" in Sudbury. Mary's signature or mark is not indicated in copy in Middlesex Deeds, Vol. XXV. Joseph acknowledges 21 December 1724.

27 February 1724, Joseph Marble, with "_____ Marble the wife of me the said Joseph Marble" (as it appears in copy in Middlesex Deeds, Vol. XXV) yielding her right of dower and power of thirds, convey to son John Marble one messuage or tract of land in Sudbury. Again, Mary's signature or mark is not indicated in copy in Middlesex Deeds, Vol. XXV, but it is probably safe to assume that the unnamed wife is indeed Mary. Joseph acknowledges April (?) 9, 1726.

Marriage: MARBLE, Joseph (?1650-1728) & Mary FAWKNER/FAULKNER (?1649-1725?); 30 May 1671; Andover/Sudbury/Marlboro [2]

______________________________________

I have always thought the Allen's were the unluckiest mortals that ever struggled for a foundation in the colony. But a rapid study of the Falconers has led me to change my mind. An ingenious, industrious, hard working race of well connected, well placed folks, they somehow never seemed to have any rest from hard discipline. All the Falconers that have survived to my day are of the sunniest spirit. Those I knew, who have gone, were the comfort of their kin when in health; and now all the dark shade is forgotten, and the light on the old time faces that look out from the quaint miniatures show the good will to all men.

Edmond Falconer, perhaps a Scotchman, comes to the Cochickewick plantation with Woodbridge to settle the bargain with the Indians, and when things are well started, he turns vintner, and opens the first house of public entertainment, on the Ipswich road possibly. I have not been able to locate the first homestead to my own satisfaction, though I think it was near the Pond, and the farm house, that was burned by the Indians in the raid of 1675, was perhaps in the Frye Village meadows, or near the Danes' land by the Ridge, on the war path of the Wamesit. His will gives Francis all his "lands and meadows in the west side of the town" not already given him by deed. Francis was the eldest son who married Abigail Dane. John settled on the upland behind the pond, marrying Sara, the daughter of Rowley George, the tailor. He had seen at the Narragansett fight, but seems to have suffered less than his father when the raid was made. The haste of retreat was so great that only the tongues of the cattle could be secured.

Edmond Faulkner's wife was Dorothy Robinson of Salem. In the will recorded 1691 (though Abiel Abbott says he died 1687 and the Records agree with him) he regrets that he cannot give more than "the pillows and pillow board," to Joseph Robinson, his son-in-law, "being willing would my estate have reached it to have manifested my love towards him in a larger measure." I think Joseph was his stepson, probably son of Dorothy Robinson by a former marriage. Dorothy Faulkner died in 1668, and three years later, Joseph Robinson marries Phebe Dane, the minister's daughter, and I do not think it was a second marriage. Edmond's marriage is the first on record of an Andover settler. John Winthrop, at Salem, tied the knot in 1647. They had a large house and a flourishing business in 1648. He was to pay into the treasury the cost of what liquor he drew for his own use. Possibly he refused to sell to Indians at some time, for orders were strict, even in those days, in this regard. He served as selectman in 1675, and passed off the stage just in season to be spared the witchcraft trials, and the awful tragedy of Hanna's life. He had only two daughters, Mary, who, in 1671, married the brick maker, Joseph Marble, from whose family our Marble Ridge is named, and Hannah, who married the cruel Pascoe Chubb two years after her father died. Mary had her two sheep added to her dowry, and to Hannah, who probably, at 30, was the housekeeper, he gives all the house stuff with one cow and the sheep, and just at the last, he tacks on "three pigs which are at home and one over to John's," room in the barn, with corn, and hay, and money due on a note, Abigail, the son's wife, also having money and corn.

Whether Pascoe, who was hiding at Andover from the disgrace and vengeance which he richly deserved, thought he would be well cared for in marrying Hannah, "this late commander of his Majesty's Fort William Henry at Pemaquid," at any rate must have suffered disappointment, for in the petition of 1696, from the jail he complains of the poverty of his list, "reduced to a mean and necessitous condition," by his confinement. He has friends enough to get a release, and Hanna's sheep and pigs receive the soldier's attention till the great snow of February and the lack of snow shoe men gives the vengeful Tarratines the opportunity to wipe out a few scores. Hanna and Pascoe are slain, but the children seem to be spared, for we find Hanna Chubb marrying John Abbott in 1710, which is all I have been able to gather as yet about the Chubb babes. These poor little wretched orphans survived, while the race of Francis and Abigail Dane became almost extinct, thanks to the winters of 1736-39, when the throat's distemper, as they called it then, made thorough work in Andover homes. It began in May, 1736, at Kingston, up the Merrimac, and raged till 190 children were gathered in from our small force. John Wilson lost eight children in a week. August to December was the danger period. History repeats itself and while they suffered on this swampy land, from defective sanitary arrangements, we are slowly preparing a day of reckoning with the ditch fiend with out luxurious Haggett's overflow.

Francis Faulkner's wife was one of the five condemned to die, but saved by confession at the witch trials. Miss Bailey's allusions to her high social position, her powerful friends, being the minister's daughter, and her own common sense in admitting that the devil might be making tools of the accused, who did not consent, was in her favor; the small children's testimony to the contrary. Released from jail after 13 weeks, she chooses for her boy, born March, 1693, to name Ammi Ruhamah (mercy for my people) and that would be all the punishment her neighbors would seem to require.

Francis, at 81, finds only son Paul left, and daughters who have emigrated with Daniel Morse to Danvers and with a Buttrick to Stow, so he divides his money and beds with Paul and Hanna Chubb Abbott, "my kins woman," the books to the boys at Stow. John's line fared better, as far as saving the boys went, but they were hard to keep. He died at 62, leaving his widow Sara Abbott with means to bring up the six sons and three daughters; young John comes of age to leave his mother to carry out her husbands' wishes and two more follow him. Daniel marries his cousin Frances and the lines end with them. Joseph marries a rich Johnson, who dies as soon as Abiel is born. He lives to marry Mary Poor, dying at 28, but leaving the Johnson money, which finally trains up two most worthy Faulkner's, Joseph and John, to help in the town building. The half brother Daniel emigrates to Blue Hill, Maine, and Joseph to Hamilton. Ammi Ruhamah's Francis, of the other line, won military fame in the Revolution, from Acton. Some further notice will be given of Joseph Faulkner in the town industries.

From the town of sea faring men on the Maine coast, more than one came back to get an Andover wife, and the grand parents of the children of Elbridge Carlton Faulkner probably were from "Down East." Mrs. George Chandler represents the branch here. Those of us who recall the industry and rare devotion to duty, of the brother that used to walk from the printing office of W. F. Draper to his home in the North Parish, until failing health sent him to the world of youth and strength; those who were welcome in the hospitable home in Frye Village of Joseph and Lydia Faulkner, and, most of all, the children who have grown up in a neighboring city under that pioneer teacher, Louisa, can best appreciate the Faulkner traits.
