Shattuck |
|
The
Shattuck surname was first found in Lancashire, where they were seated from very
ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke
William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. It's an English variant of 'Chadwick', a habitational
name from any of various places called Chadwick, in Merseyside (formerly in Lancashire),
Warwickshire, and two in Worcestershire. One of the places in Worcestershire and
the one in Warwickshire are named as ‘the dairy farm (Old English wic)
of Ceadel’. The other in Worcestershire and the one in Merseyside are named
as ‘Ceadda’s dairy farm’. Ceadda was the name of a famous Anglo-Saxon
bishop, St. Chad. The Family Coat of Arms is a red shield with a silver inescutcheon
charged with a cross, within a border of silver birds. The Crest is a silver bird.
Our lineage to this family can be traced back to WILLIAM SHATTUCK, supposedly the son of JOHN and DEMARIS SHATTUCK, of England, although his exact origin and early history have never been proven. There is no doubt, however, that his immediate ancestors and connections were residents of England; and it has been conjectured that his father might have died on his passage or soon after his arrival, making him the son of widow Damaris Shattuck, who was admitted to the church in Salem, in 1641. He may also have been a brother of Samuel Shattuck, but there's no conclusive proof. According to court documents when he appeared as a witness, William was born in 1621/22 in Somerset, and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts as early as 1642 or '3, when he was not more than 21 years of age.

The
book PLANTERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH; by Charles Edward Banks (Gen. Pub. Co.; Baltimore,
1979) lists Samuel and William Shattuck as passengers to New England, origin Somersetshire.
William became a shoemaker. In the first Inventory of land in Watertown, he had
a homestall of one acre, bounded by John Clough and William Perry. He also had
3 acres of swamp land bounded by the same and by Joseph Morse. He was chosen hog
reeve and fence viewer in 1653 and 1659 and served in other posts as well. His
tax assessment in 1652 was 1 schilling, the smallest in Watertown. On 1654
Jul 4, he bought a house and 55 acres of John and Susan Clough, including a parcel
bounded by William Paine and Edward Goffe (E) and Joseph Morse (N), plus a parcel
bounded by Edmund Lewis (Sdied on the 14th of August, 1672, in Watertown. He married
SUSANNA HAYDEN on 1642/43 in Watertown. As its record has not been found at Watertown,
it is thought that William Shattuck's marriage took place prior to his coming
to Massachusetts, and probably not long before, as his eldest know child was born
in 1643. Susanna survived William, and re-married, on November 18, 1673, as the
second wife of Richard NORCROSS (b. 1621; d. about 1709).
Richard was schoolmaster at Watertown. She died December 11, 1686.¹

Barstow |

Deborah was born in 1650 in Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts,
to WILIAM BARSTOW (d. 1st of January, 1667/68, in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts)
and ANNA HUBBARD (b. 1616 "of Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts". Given
Name also found as "Hannah (Anna) Hubbard"), married on 8 May 1638 in
Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. The origin of the Barstow surname is English, dating back to the Anglo-Saxon culture, in which they supposedly took their name from Bairstow in West Yorkshire, derived from the old English terms beger (berries) and stow (grow), and referred to "the pl;ace where berries are grown." The Family Coat of Arms is Ermine, on a black fesse cotised black, three silver crescents. The Family Crest is a demi eagle emerging from a crescent. Deborah died on the 24th of November, 1679, in
Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, and is buried at the Old Burying Place.
Philip remarried to Rebecca Chamberlain (d. 1728) on 11 Feb 1680. He died on 26 Jun 1732 in Waltham, Massachusetts, and is buried at the Waltham burying-ground. The gravestone erected to his memory was standing in the Waltham burying ground
in 1852 (Waltham Burying, Ground, Watertown, MA): "Here lyes buried ye body
of Doctor Philip Shattuck who deceased June 26, 1722 in ye 74th year of his age.
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord". A new marble tablet has recently
been erected to which the above inscription was transferred from a moss grown
crumbling head stone of slate to one of more enduring marble by a descendent of
the 5th generation, A.D. 1853. (SOURCE: "Shattuck Memorials" by Lemuel
Shattuck in 1855).
Phillip and Deborah had the following children:
