Thank you Stephanie, now we have our work cut out for us!

I for one have had many family and work related issues on my plate the last
several months and have done virtually no genealogical research - although I
have continued to read all my messages, I have responded to almost none as
yet. Hoping to get back into it the next several months, but as Tom has
proposed that I address this issue - thought I would respond.
I have seen your address on the Moffat newslist Esther, so I would assume you
have all the information that has been posted there recently in regards to
the Moffats in Barbadoes - and such.
I am not a Moffat descendant - and am not sure how I even got included in
the mailings - still they have been of interest given the possible Cloyes
connection.
Unfortunately I have nothing to add to what is already out there on a
possible Mehetable Cloyes. Although - I have been wondering if the Cloyes
name is found at all in Barbadoes, and I wonder how many other family lines
might bear researching there and in the West Indies as well as in Virginia
and the Carolinas (at a slightly later date for the Carolinas - say around
1680's-1700 era)
There apparently was a John Cloyes listed in a book called Cavaliers and
Pioneers that deals with early Virginia ancestry. Although I tried to get
the book on interlibrary loan - I learned that there were several volumes
and it was unavailable through that format. I have not as yet followed up -
but from what I learned - this John Cloyes was somewhat of a scoundrel and
ran out on a debt by leaving Virginia at a date consistent with about the
time our immigrant John Cloyes appears in Maine. I would love to know more
- and perhaps someday will.
But.. if you have any family that includes mariners during the early period
1630's-1720's or so and are having difficulty finding information because
the people seem to 'just disappear', you might think about checking these
areas.
On researching my Maine GENT/JENT lines, with connections to MASON and
MANNING lines - I learned something that I have not yet followed up on.
Many of my Gent ancestors appeared to disappear in the late 1600's.
However, Gent, Mason and Manning families are all found in proximity to each
other in Virginia in the late 1600 - early 1700s. Coincidence? Maybe - it
will bear checking out however. I also have connections to a family from
Charlestown, MA who left that area for 'Carolina' around 1700. All families
with seafaring traditions.
Another family line went from England to the West Indies - then some or all
came to MA during the 1600's. Eventually some of them went back to the West
Indies.
So....
Esther asked in a previous e mail about the Indian killings of John and
Thomas Cloyes. I will send what I know about these two. It may take more
than one mailing so be advised.
Good luck!

Generation No. 2
6. THOMAS4 CLOYES (JOHN3, PETER2, PETER1)155 was born 1656 in Watertown,
Middlesex Co., Massachusetts156, and died May 1690 in Casco Bay, Maine (of
Falmouth)157,158,159. He married SUSANNA LEWIS159 1670160, daughter of
JAMES LEWIS and SARAH LANE.

immediately. Also owned 6 acres and a house on the neck (Portland) which
property he rented and a 2 acre lot near the fort, to which property he
returned from Salem among the first after Philip's War, as by his petition
to Governor Andros 1687. (History of Framingham; Genealogical Dictionary
of Maine and New Hampshire; Maine Historical Society)
6/30/1675; "John Cloyse of Falmouth & Julian his wife" for the love that
they bear their 'sunn Thomas Clouse & Susannah his wife & alsoe In
Consideration of two oxen now received of him..." give him land that he
purchased of Mr. George Cleves. Signed as John Cloyce, she signs by mark.

Samuel and John Felton, 1734 - 1738. (Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and
New Hampshire)
"We indict Nathaniel Cloyes and Abigail Williams upon evidence of Thomas
Cloyes and Sarah Housing for their misbehavior toward their mother in law,
Julian Cloyes. In reference to the presentments of Nathaniel Cloyes and
Abigail Williams, touching their offences, it is ordered that they shall
make a public acknowledgement of their fault done to their mother by their
ill behavior toward her, before the next training at Casco, or to forfeit
five pounds each to the treasury, and for time to come to give in
suffecient security for theif good behavior, to the next court of Pleas for
this division unto our sovereign lord the king" (Maine Historical Society)
Cause of Death: killed by Indians 2nd destruction of Falmouth161
Military service: January 24, 1675/76, King Phillips War169
occupation: husbandman, cordwainer170
Notes for SUSANNA LEWIS:
1685; Sold interest in her father's estate to Richard Seacombe.
(Genealogical Dictionary of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont)
Aft1690; To Salem, Massachusetts. (Genealogical Dictionary of Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont)
More About SUSANNA LEWIS:
Fact 6: 1685, sold interest in her father's estate to Richard Seacombe170
Fact 7: Aft. 1690, to Salem, Massachusetts170
Children of THOMAS CLOYES and SUSANNA LEWIS are:
15. i. MEHETABLE5 CLOYES, b. 1674; d. Aft. 1708. (this is supposed)
16. ii. MARY CLOYES, b. May 06, 1677, Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts; d.
Aft. 1754, Sturbridge, Worcester Co., Massachusetts?.
iii. THOMAS CLOYES, b. Abt. 1679, of Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts171;

What we know of course is that in 1676 King Philips War began and there
were several Indian uprisings in Maine (and other areas). Again about 1690
the Indians destroyed many towns in Maine and killed a lot of inhabitants.

OK here we go. In my database I have an Edward Bishop who had 2 children
who both married Symonds in the 1700's. All were from Topsfield. What is
interesting is that these Symonds were descendants of the Symonds family
who were connected to the Towne family by marriage to Jacob Towne brother
of Rebecca, Mary and Sarah Towne - all accused witches. Other members of
the Symonds family married into the Towne family as well.
Members of the Wildes families also married into the Towne family.
Sounds like one hotbed of intermarriages among the 'witchcraft' families!

Hello Cloyes Researchers,
Can you help put a missing piece in our puzzle? Does anyone know of a Cloyes
(or any of the various spellings of that name) whose daughter was named
Mehitable?
Our Mehitable married William Moffatt about 1690. She was born about 1674 in
Falmouth, CT and died 1754 Killingley, Windham, CT. We have suspect that she
was a Cloyes and would be delighted to get confirmation from you.
Many thanks.

To me, the most interesting ones in this line are Thomas Cloyes and his
father, John Cloyes who were both killed by Indians. I'd like to know more
about the circumstances of their deaths. Anybody know anything about that?
It would be helpful if other Cloyes descendents would list their lineage on
this forum so we can get some exchanges of information.
