In this article I've collected all the mentions in the literature that I've been able to find of William Rayment/Raymond and his brother, John. Articles are given in the order of publication. The year of publication is shown in the title in square brackets. Inaccuracies, where known, are mentioned. Comments are shown in square brackets.

First Settlers of New Hampshire [1848]

The contracting parties were "the President and Council of New England on the one part, ad sir Ferdinando Georges, Capt. John Mason, John Cotton, Henry Gardner, George Griffith, Edwin Guy, Thomas Wannerton, Thomas Eyre, and Eleazer Eyre, on the other part." Then follows, "as the forementioned have by their agents there, taken great pains, and spent much time in the discovery of the country, all which hath cost them, (as we are credibly informed,) �3000, and upwards, which hitherunto they are wholly out of purse for, upon hope of doing good for time to come, to the public, and for other sufficient causes," have sold, &c.

We must draw a few sentences more from Mr. Hubbard, who, it will be remembered, was living and wrote while many of the first settlers were alive, and who evidently communicated with them upon their beginnings at Pascataqua. He writes, "and whereas there is mention in this indenture of Capt. Neal, and the colony with him, there residing in the said house, it must be understood, that the agents of Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Capt. Mason, with the rest, and by their order built an house, and done something about saltworks, sometime before the year 1630; in which year Capt. Neal, with three other gentlemen, came over to Pascataqua, in the bark Warwick. He was said to be sent as governor for Sir Ferdinando Gorges and the rest; and to superintend their affairs there. Another occasion of their sending over, was said to be searching, or making a more full discovery of an imaginary province, supposed toa be up higher into the country, called Laconia. But after three years spent in labor and travel for that end, or other fruitless endeavors, and expense of too much estate, they returned back to England with a non est inventa provincia. Nor is there anything memorable recorded as done by him, or his company, during the time of his three years stay, unless it were a contest between him and Capt. Wiggans, employed in like manner to begin a plantation higher up the river, for some of Shresbury, who being forbidden by him the said Neal, to come upon a point of land, that liethin the midway betwixt Dover and Exeter, Capt. Wiggans intended to have defended his right by the sword; but it seems both the litigants had so much wit in their anger, as to wave the battle, each accounting himself to have done very manfully in what was threatened; so as in respect, not of what did, but what might have fallen out. The place to this day retains the formidable name of BLOODY POINT." The following are the documents:

George Rayment's Will [1895]

GEORGE RAYMENT of the parish of St. John's in Glaston in the Co. of Somerset, 26 June 1651, proved 30 October 1651. My body to be buried in the churchyard of St. John's &c. To my daughter Dorthy Robyns and her child forty shillings, and all the goods that I have in the house that I lived in, in the churchyard. I give to said daughter Dorothy Robins, and my best breeches and jacket and my best shoes to my daughter Dorothy's husband of Streete. To the wife of my son Maurice Rayment and her child forty shillings.

Item, I give and bequeath to William Rayment my son that is in New England six pounds, to be paid if ever he doth come to Glaston to demand it. Item, I give and bequeath to Elizabeth Rayment my daughter that is in New England twenty shillings, to be paid if ever she doth come to Glaston to demand it. To John Seemer, the son of William Seemer, twenty shillings. To Luce Seemer, the daughter of William Seemer of the said Glaston, twenty shillings. Twenty shillings I give to discharge my funeral expences. All the rest of my goods &c. I give to Maurice Rayment my son, whom I make my whole and sole executor. For overseers I do appoint William Seemer and William Billocks. (Then follows the date.) Item, I give to John Rayment my son that is in New England one shilling.

The witnesses were William Seemer, William Zealee (by mark) and George Rosier.

(Here we have the family of William and old John Rayment of Beverly, well known to searchers of the records at Salem. And I am glad to see the spelling conform to the pronunciation as I remember it from earliest childhood. Present representatives of that family now write their name Raymond. There was a Richard Raymond of Salem, who lived on the south side of Essex Street, and afterwards removed to Norwalk and Saybrook. But I have never seen the slightest evidence of a relationship between him and these Rayments of Beverly. The above will confirms me in this. I cannot, here and now, without my Essex Co. notes, tell what became of Elizabeth Rayment, the sister of William and John, who also went to New England. Perhaps some of my friends at home (for instance the Hon. John I. Baker) may be able to tell us. John Rayment, I believe, succeeded to the ownership of the farm belonging once to Thomas Scruggs, one of the Old Planters. and the old Rayment house (I hope) stands there to-day. I have often passed it in my walks. HENRY F. WATERS.)

Grants of Land for Services [1899]

In 1735, a society was formed in Beverly of the soldiers and representatives of the soldiers, who, under the command of Capt. William Raymond, had served in King William's war, so called, on the expedition of Sir William Phipps against Canada in 1690, for the purpose of petitioning the General Court of Massachusetts for the grant of a township of land. (�First Book of Records of the Proprietors of the Township lying on the North Branch of Piscataquog River, in possession of the Maine Historical Society, at Portland, Me. Also Main Historical & Gen. Recorder, vol. iv., p.245.)

Moses Gage...and his brother Adam served in the expedition of Sir William Phipps against Canada in 1690, in which expedition Adam was slain. To pay the men who went in this expedition, a score or more of townships were granted, all called Canada townships. To sixty men from Beverly, under command of Capt. William Raymond, was first granted in 1735, Halestown or Weare, N.H. When, on sttlement of the boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Weare was found to be in New Hampshire, a new grant was made in June, 1765, to their heirs in lieu of the first grant, now Raymond, Me.

We nowhere find grants of land offered or given to "the soldiers of King Philip's war and their heirs," in such terms. We do find that grants of townships were made to particular companies in that war, as the grant for instance, of Fall Town to the company under Capt. William Turner, which destroyed the camp of the enemy at Peskeompskut. May 19, 1676.

"Ancestry of Lyman J. Gage" NEHGR, Vol. 53, April 1899, pp. 202, 204.

We nowhere find grants of land offered or given to "the soldiers of King Philip's war and their heirs," in such terms. We do find that grants of townships were made to particular companies in that war.

The same rule was followed in the next war. No grants were offered or paid to "the soldiers of King William's war," but grants of townships were made to particular companies in that war, as of Huntstown, now Ashfield, to the company of Capt. Ephraim Hunt; of Winchendon to the company from Ipswich; of a township to the Beverly men under Capt. William Raymond; and other companies who were all in the expedition to Canada in 1690.

English Ancestors of John and William Raymond [1918]

George Raymond, or Rayment�both spellings are used in the same documents�after promising his signature to his will, signs it with only his mark. The will is phrased exactly as if, because he was paralyzed, or, at least, too feeble to write, he had it copied from the will of Arthur Raymond, of Ilchester, dated in 1623; and this Arthur, for several reasons, seems to have been the father of George. [Doubtful.] Ilchester is situated only twelve miles from Glastonbury. Arthur's will leaves a house and other property to his wife and to each of two other sons; but no house, yet the largest share of the property, to "George, my eldest son." George's will, made thirty years later, shows why he did not need a house. He refers to his possessions in the house that he occupies "in the churchyard of St. John's Glaston." The father of Arthur, George, of Ilchester, had left money for "George, the son of Arthur, to help to breed him to school." In the churchyard of St. John's there can still be seen the ruins of a great schoolhouse that was once there. Very likely George Raymond was connected with it as a teacher. Perhaps it was because his son William had learned something from his father with reference to the subject that, some years later, the Beverly (Massachusetts) Records tell of his being appointed to assist the selectmen in securing a teacher for their town. Moreover, the uncles�really grand uncles, though this term was not used in those days�to whom John's house was left in trust when he went "across the seas" were Arthur's brothers mentioned in the will of George of Ilchester. Both this will and that of Arthur are printed in the volume entitled "Somerset Wills."

Tomb of William Raymond of Ilchester Photo by the author, 1999.

Enough remains of the ruined tomb of William Raymond, of Ilchester, brother of Arthur, to enable us to make out the coat of arms of this family. The shield is that described by Burke in his book entitled "General Armory" as "argent three bars sable," in other words, silver with three black [p. 345] bars, these of equal size crossing the shield horizontally. The crest is a "dexter arm embowed in armor, grasping a battle axe, all proper," which means in their proper natural color. [Also see "the Raymond Family Coat of Arms."] The simplicity of this coat of arms shows its age. In 1581 and later, other coats of arms were granted to members of the Raymond family. Apparently, too, they belonged to the same branch of the family. This is said because we find different coats of arms used by different families of this name living side by side in the same counties and towns. It is worth while to say also that the story of a battle axe crest, like that of a Huguenot ancestry, is traditional in this branch of the Raymond family of America. It is a crest that surmounts many different English coats of arms. It is sometimes said to have been given to his knights by William the conqueror. If there is any truth in this statement, the crest connects this family of Raymond with that of a knight whose name is inscribed at Battle Abbey among those Normans who fought at the battle of Hastings in 1066. The family of this knight is said to have settled at a place named Raymond in the Hundred of Wye in the County of Kent. The migrations of the family are apparently indicated in the places to which Burke assigns the use of the coat of arms just described, namely, Langley Park, County Kent; Saling Hall and Valentine House, County Essex; and Marpole, County Devon. The latter was not far from Ilchester, County Somerset.

Captain William Raymond, of Beverly, was in the Narragansett fight in 1675; a deputy to the General Court in 1685-6; lieutenant commander of Beverly and Wenham troops in 1683; and commander of an expedition to Canada in 1690, for which he and his soldeirs subsequently received from the Crown a grant of a county of land. The wills of George and Arthur, the immediate ancestors of William in England, show that both were Protestants, but not excessively puritanic. William, of Beverly, was so influential in his church that he was able to persuade his pastor, Rev. John Hale, to accompany the expedition to Canada; but, at a time when Baptists were shunned and, more or less, persecuted in New England, he married, as his second wife, the daughter of the first Baptist minister who came to Boston, Ruth Hull. In the heat of the Salem witchcraft excitement, his son William, when a young man, testified that [p. 346] he told one who had said that another had tried to bewitch her, that "she lied." captain William married, for his first wife, Hannah, daughter of Edward Bishop. Their son William, born about 1666, married Mary, daughter of John Kettle. Their son William, born February 11, 1690, married Deborah, daughter of Benjamin Balch, and settled in Rochester, Massachusetts. Their son Daniel, born March 17, 1717, married Elizabeth, daughter of John Blackmer, and wido of Isaac Doty, and moved to Sharon, Connecticut. Their son Paul, born November 15, 1774, married Rachel, daughter of Zebulon Stevens, and settled in Richmond, Massachusetts.

John Marshall Raymond's Notes on Raymond, Abbot, Jackson and Allied Families... [1962]

Detail from Hubbard's 1677 Map of New England. North is to the right. Salem is just up and left from Cape Anne in the center. The History of the Indian Wars in New England, William Hubbard, 1677.

William Raymond, his older brother John, and his sister Elizabeth came to New England sometime before June 1651 (see note 512), but it is hard to fix the exact time of their arrival. The court records of Salem state on 28 Dec 1697: "The testimony of William Raymond, aged 60 years or thereabouts. Testifieth and saith that I, said Raymond, came to New England about the year '52." (Raymond, p,121) We know, however, that he did not arrive in '52---he was here at least as early as the spring of '51 (see note 512). It is generally accepted that William was of Salem in 1648 (Farmer, p.240; Felt, v.1, p.170; GDNE, v.3, p.513; An Heads). Unfortunately in the 1880's "exhaustive" research failed to turn up any original documentation of fact (Raymond, p.2). John seems first to be mentioned in American records when he was granted land in Salem 2 Apr 1653 (Salem, p.173). However, he had come to Salem earlier as about 1650 he married there (see below). No American record of Elizabeth has been found. Almost certainly William, then a lad of 11 to 14, came with one if not both of the others.

Another William Raymond is known to have been in New England in the 1630's. It is barely possible, if conjectural, that he visited Salem in 1648 and was the William Raymond mentioned of that place that year. This William Raymond came to America from Essex County, England, in 1630 or 1631. In 1622 Sir Fernando Gorges and Capt. John Mason, a London merchant, were jointly granted all the land bounded by the Merrimac and Sagadahoc rivers. Seven years later the grant was divided, Gorges taking the eastern portion, which he named "Maine", and Mason the western part, which he called "New Hampshire." Mason then formed "The Company of Laconia," and in 1630-31 this company sent a small group of men to settle at Little Harbor, now known as Portsmouth, N.H. This group representing the Laconia Company consisted of Ambrose Gibbons, William Raymond, other stewards, and forty servants. At Mason's death in 1635 his wife Ann inherited control of the Laconia Company. In 1639, finding the income from the settlement would not justify the expense, she refused to furnish supplies and the colony slowly disbanded. (Raymond, pp.1-2) William Raymond, the steward, may have left there and been in Salem in 1648.

John's first wife had died in England and was buried, according to the registry of St. Benedict's Church, Glastonbury, on 28 May 1639 (Americana, v.12, pp. 343-5) Her name was Margaret. John m. (2) Salem c. 1650 Rachel, dau of Thomas and Margery Scruggs. He m. (3) aft 1666 Judith, wid of William Woodbury Jr. (Raymond, p. 121; Upham,v.1,p.66)

William m. (1) Salem c. 1660 Hannah Bishop, and (2) 1681 Ruth, dau of Isaac Hull (Dawes-Gates,v.2,pp.704-8; Harris,p.131;Raymond, pp.121-2). William and Hannah had: William (128); Edward, bp 12 Jul 1668, m. Mary _____; George, bp 30 Oct 1670, d. bef 1709, m. 28 Mar 1698 Jerusha Woodbury; Hannah, bp 18 May 1673, m. (1) Nathaniel Hayward and (2) _____ Hutchinson; and Abigail, bp 23 Jul 1676, m. 29 Mar 1694 John Giles. William and Ruth had: Mary, b. 2 May 1682, m. Josiah Batchelder; Ruth, b. 1690, d. Mar 1747, m. Jonathan Batchelder; and Ebenezer, d. 21 May 1747, m. 6 Jan 1715 Joana Herrick. (Raymond, pp.121-2)

William Raymond, the immigrant, was a prominent citizen of Beverly, being selectman 1670,1683 and 1689, and Deputy to the General Court 1685 and 1686. As a military man he served long and well. He was a member of Capt. Lothrop's company at the capture of St. Johns and Port Royal in 1654. He was in King Philip's War in 1675, being in action at the Swamp Fight and the Narragansett Fort Fight. Tradition says that John Raymond, son of William's brother John, was the first man to enter the fort. In 1683 the General Court made William lieutenant commander of the newly-created troop of Beverly and Wenham men. He became captain in 1690 and commanded the Beverly company in the Canada Expedition. The General Court in 1735 granted a township six miles square "to Captain William Raymond, and the officers and soldeirs" under his command, and to their heirs, for their distinguished services in the Canada Expedition. The grant, however, was found to be in New Hampshire. After a further delay the General Court in 1765 gave a substitute tract in Cumberland County, Maine, and there the town of Raymond was founded on the shores of Lake Segago, named in honor of Capt. William Raymond. (Raymond ,p.121; Upham,v.1,pp.131-2; Dawes-Gates,v.2,pp.703-8; Harris ,p.131)

1. John Rayment and his brother William Rayment were the original immigrant ancestors of this branch of the Raymond family. They were sons of George Rayment of Glastonbury, County Somerset, England.

The will of George Rayment of Glastonbury has been found. This will was dated 26 June 1651, and states that they had already gone to New England. One shilling is left to son John and one pound to son William, if they came to Glastonbury to get it. (Henry F. Waters AM, Genealogical Gleanings in England, III (1901))

They came to America with their sister, Elizabeth, not later than the spring of 1651, and settled at Beverly, Mass. John Rayment was granted fifty acres of land 2 March 1653.(Essex Co. Land Records (1651).) The family name of Rayment was changed to Raymond soon after arriving in America.

In 1679 he [John] and his brother, William were on a committee to settle boundary dispute between Beverly and Salem.

2. WILLIAM RAYMOND ([son of] George), married (1) Hannah Bishop, born 12 April 1646, daughter of Edward Bishop.
