The Axtell Family in America: First Five Generations

Source: S.J. Axtell, “The Axtell Family in America: First Five Generations,” New England Historical and
Genealogical Register 53[1899].

[page 227]

The earliest appearance of the name Axtell which has come to my knowledge dates back to the year 1535. In that year the “bon homes” of a monastery of the Augustinian order in Gatesden, Hertfordshire, England, made over their property to Henry the Eighth, and among the names signed to the deed was that of John Axstyl. The registration of baptisms and deaths in the parish churches of England began about 1538. At St. Peter’s Church, Berkhampstead, a town in Hertfordshire, there is the record of the baptism of John Axtell, son of John, in 1539, and of William, son of John, in 1541. Five other entries of Axtells appear before 1614. From 1614 to 1628 there is a series of entries, as follows:

• John, son of William, bap. Aug. 14, 1614
• William, ” ” ” ” Dec. 1, 1616
• 1. Thomas, ” ” ” ” Jan. 26, 1619
• Daniel, ” ” ” ” May 26, 1622
• William, ” ” ” ” June 11, 1622
• Thomas, ” ” ” ” Oct. 31, 1624
• Samuel, ” ” ” ” Dec. 15, 1624
• Avie, daughter ” ” ” Mar. 28, 1627
• Sarah, ” ” ” ” June 20, 1628

It appears from the above that there were two William Axtells rearing families in Berkhampstead between 1614 and 1628. One, perhaps, was the William who was a burgess in 1628 and common clerk in 1639.

If we assign the first four in the above list, with Samuel, born 1624, and one of the daughters to one William and the rest to the other, we avoid difficulties which any other division encounters, and make Thomas (born 1619) the emigrant to America, brother of Daniel (born 1622) the colonel under Cromwell, who was put to death in 1660 for his share in the death of Charles I.

Mary, daughter of Thomas, was baptized in Berkhampstead, September 25, 1639, and Henry, the second child, October 15, 1641. Soon after the latter date, the little family appear in Sudbury, Mass. Here, June 1, 1644, another Mary was born. Thomas, the father, died in 1646, and was buried August 1st of that year.

“The inventory of the goods of Thomas Axtell of Sudbury, lately deceased. Inprimis, his land and house £8, 10, cattle £8, 10, wearing apparell and bedding with his armes £10, for Brasse and pewter £5. He expressed that Mary his wife should have all his estate to bring up his children.”

The widow married John Goodnow, September 19, 1656.

June 18, 1659, Edward Wright and Hannah Axtell of Sudbury were married. If the above identification of Thomas, born 1619, with Thomas of Sudbury be correct, this Hannah cannot have been his daughter. Who she was does not appear.

[page 228]

SECOND GENERATION.

2. HENRY² AXTELL (Thomas¹), born in England, 1641, took up land with the first proprietors of Marlboro’, Mass., in 1660. He married Hannah Merriam, June 14, 1665, and lived in the eastern part of Marlboro’.

Children of Henry and Hannah:

• i. SAMUEL,³ b. March 27, 1666; probably d. young.
• ii. HANNAH, b. Nov. 18, 1667; untraced.
• iii. MARY, b. Aug. 8, 1670; m. Zachariah Newton, 1698.
• 3. iv. THOMAS, b. April 16, 1672.
• 4. v. DANIEL, b. Nov. 4, 1673.
• vi. SARAH, b. Sept. 18, 1675; untraced.

Henry Axtell was killed by the Indians early in 1676. The inventory of his estate is dated April 1 of that year. His widow married Will Taylor, July 5, 1677.

THIRD GENERATION.

3. THOMAS³ AXTELL (Henry,² Thomas¹), married November 2, 1697, Sarah Barker of Concord, and lived in the east part of Marlboro’. About 1735, he moved to Hassanamisco, afterwards Grafton. He died December 18, 1750. His wife died June 26, 1747.

Children of Thomas and Sarah:

• i. THOMAS,⁴ b. Aug. 19, 1698; d. Dec. 22, 1698.
• ii. SARAH, b. Feb. 16, 1703; m. Josiah Hayden, Feb. 7, 1721.
• 5. iii. JOSEPH, b. Aug. 1, 1705.
• iv. HANNAH, m. Zedekiah Drury of Sutton, July 20, 1738.
• 6. v. THOMAS, b. May 11, 1712.
• vi. JOHN, b. April 15, 1715; d. April 10, 1742.
• vii. ABIGAIL, b. Oct. 8, 1717; m. Benjamin Pratt, Dec. 21, 1736.

4. DANIEL³ AXTELL (Henry,² Thomas¹), born November 4, 1673; died January, 1735. In 1695 Elder William Pratt organized a church in Dorchester, Mass., and soon after went to South Carolina to plant his church there as a missionary colony. In his diary, he records a very hospitable reception by Lady Axtell, the widow of Landgrave Daniel Axtell, who went from England to South Carolina about 1680. Probably Daniel Axtell of Massachusetts accompanied Mr. Pratt on one of his earlier voyages to South Carolina. May 12, 1702, he married Thankful, daughter of Elder Pratt, and lived in South Carolina till about 1707, when he returned to Massachusetts and became a large landholder in Berkley, then a part of Dighton and Taunton. A release, dated March 16, 1703, from Daniel Axtell of Carolina, county of Bartley, on Ashley river, made out in favor of his brother Thomas of Massachusetts, establishes the relationship. A clause in Lady Axtell’s will leaving property to her “kinsman Daniel Axtell in New England” shows a relationship there. But the landgrave could not have been the son of the regicide, since the landgrave had a daughter of age in 1678, as appears from his will made that year in England.

Children of Daniel and Thankful:

• i. ELIZABETH,⁴ b. April 28, 1703; m. —- Burt.
• 7. ii. DANIEL, b. Oct. 24, 1704.
• iii. REBECCA, b. Nov. 22, 1706; probably m. Jacob Cooke of Abington, Nov. 11, 1736.
• iv. HANNAH, b. April 10, 1710; m. Joseph Edmister, Feb. 18, 1741.
• 8. v. WILLIAM, b. April 13, 1713.
• 9. vi. HENRY, b. June 24, 1715.

[page 229]

• 10. vii. SAMUEL, b. Oct. 25, 1717.
• 11.viii. EBENEZER, b. March 24, 1724.
• ix. THANKFUL, b. Dec. 8, 1725.
• 12. x. THOMAS, b. Sept. 15, 1727.

FOURTH GENERATION.

5. JOSEPH⁴ AXTELL (Thomas,³ Henry,² Thomas¹), married Abigail Hayden of Sudbury, February 4, 1730. He lived at first in Marlboro’, but after 1746 in Grafton. His children were born in Marlboro’, and were:

• i. ELIZABETH,⁵ b. Aug. 7, 1730; m. (?) Nathaniel Cooper of Grafton, April 22, 1746.
• ii. MARY, b. Jan. 18, 1732; m. Samuel Giles of Hopkinton, Nov. 16, 1749.

October 6, 1760, Thomas, now a widower, married Mary Sanger, by whom he had several children, all of whom died young. Thomas died 1798.

• 15. v. THOMAS, b. Dec. 16, 1746.
• vi. and vii. MARY and PHEBE, b. March 12, 1748. Possibly Mary may be the Polly Axtell who m. George Smith in Grafton, 1786. Phebe m. Thomas Kidder, and afterwards joined the Shakers.

7. DANIEL⁴ AXTELL (Daniel,³ Henry,² Thomas¹), married September 15, 1737, Waitstill Babbitt. He lived in Berkley, and was prominent in town and church affairs. First wife died 1757; second wife, Phebe Reed.

9. HENRY⁴* AXTELL (Daniel,³ Henry,² Thomas¹), married Jemima Leonard, 1737. He removed about 1740 or ’41, with the Leonards to Mendham, N. J., where he died 1753 or ’54. His widow married Matthew Lumm. Children:

• 20. i. HENRY,⁵ b. March 16, 1738.

• iii. HANNAH, b. 1742; m. Zephaniah Burt, May 29, 1764.
• iv. BETHANY, b. 1744; m. Artemas Day, Jan. 21, 1767.
• 21. v. CALVIN, b. 1750.
• 22. vi. LUTHER, b. April 22, 1753.

10. SAMUEL⁴ AXTELL (Daniel,³ Henry,² Thomas¹), married Hannah Hatheway of Freetown about 1740, and spent his days in Berkley; died February 25, 1769. Children:

• i. SAMUEL,⁵ b. 1741; d. 1755.
• ii. HANNAH, b. Sept. 6, 1744; m. Samuel Tubbs, Aug. 23, 1762.
• iii. THANKFUL, b. 1746; d. Oct. 26, 1760.
• 23. iv. EBENEZER, b. Feb. 9, 1749.
• 24. v. EZRA, b. Oct. 25, 1751.
• vi. ABIGAIL, b. Feb. 14, 1754; m. Jonathan Reed, Nov. 5, 1772.
• 25. vii. SAMUEL, b. Jan. 8, 1756.
• viii. LOUISA, b. July 9, 1758; untraced.
• 26. ix. HENRY, b. May 3, 1761.
• x. THANKFUL, b. Nov. 15, 1762; untraced.
• xi. LURANA, b. Oct. 23, 1765; m. Pitts Phillips, Feb. 6, 1788.

11. EBENEZER⁴ AXTELL (Daniel,³ Henry,² Thomas¹). Berkley records say, “Ebenezer Axtell late of Mendom in Jarzes but now an inhabitant of Berkley and Hannah Hatheway of Berkley were married Oct. 15, 1751.” He is mentioned frequently as filling town offices. Children:

• i. REBECKAH,⁵ b. Aug. 9, 1752; untraced.
• 27. ii. THOMAS, b. July 15, 1755.
• iii. RACHEL, b. April 5, 1757; probably the Rachel Axtell who m. Jacob Goldthwait of Uxbridge, April 14, 1785.

12. THOMAS⁴ AXTELL (Daniel,³ Henry,² Thomas¹). There is no record of Thomas in Berkley, though the “Axtell Memorial” says he moved in 1769 or ’70 from Massachusetts to New Jersey with his two sons.

My informants say he married Hannah Goebel (a New England name, found in the Concord records) in 1746, and died in 1758. His widow married Nathan Lincoln. He probably followed Henry to New Jersey before 1750. Children:

• 28. i. DANIEL,⁵ b. April 12, 1748.
• 29. ii. THOMAS, b. 1750(?).

*The list of children here given accords with that in “The Axtell Memorial.” Between Bethany, b. 1744, and Calvin, b. 1750, there is room for two children. Possibly Ebenezer Axtell, ensign in New Jersey troops in the Revolution, belongs here. Also Henry S. Axtell of Bradford, N. Y., b. 1796, may be a descendant of a missing son. He claimed relationship with this family.
