Notes:

Excerpt from "Certain Comeoverers": William Vassall, your ancestor, the brother of Samuel, was six years younger than Samuel and was born at Ratcliffe August 27, 1592. In 1613 he married Anna King, the daughter of George King of Cold Norton in Essex. At a meeting of the patentees of Massachusetts Bay Colony held in London October 5, 1629, William Vassall, who was then acting as an assistant to Governor Cradock, was chosen "to go over." He came to Boston with Winthrop on his second trip, arriving in June, 1630. The ships of the little fleet were the Arabella, the Talbot, the Ambrose, and the Jewel. The Mayflower and several other ships which is was expected would accompany the fleet were not ready and were left behind. It is altogether probable that William Vassall, who was, in a sense, Governor Cradock's representative, was on the Arabella, which was the "admiral's ship." ..... After looking about the new settlements for a month or so William Vassall returned to England on the ship Lyon, (the same ship that took back William White's Breeches Bible.) ...
William Vassall was too liberal in his religious views to please the tyrannical Puritans of Boston, men of the stamp of cotton and Elliot. Winthrop called him " a man of busy and factious spirit, never at rest but when he was in the first of contention." He came back to New England in 1635 on the ship Blessing with his family (Anna his wife forty-two years old, and his children, Judith sixteen, Francis twelve, John ten, Ann six, Margaret two, and Mary one). Soon after he proceeded to the Plymouth Colony and subjected himself to the more liberal government of the Pilgrims.
William Vassall settled at Scituate and in 1635 a tract of two hundred acres on a neck of land by the North River was laid out to him by the Plymouth Court.
In 1642 he was a Counsellor of War of the Colonial Government.......
Disgusted with the powers which controlled the destinies of his adopted country, he left England for the Island of Barbadoes, where he and his brother had large estates, and there in 1655, the same year that Edward Winslow met his death in the West Indies, he died.

William married Anne KINGE on 29 Jun 1613 in Cold Norton, England. Anne was born on 01 Dec 1594 in Woodham, England; died in Barbados. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
