John Churchill was born in 1613 in Dorset County, England, in a towncalled Muston. He married Hannah Pontus December 18, 1644 in Plymouth,Massachusetts. He died January 1, 1662.

Our John Churchill of Plymouth may have emigrated to the New World toescape a civil war breaking out in England in 1642. It is alsopossible he was escaping poverty in his home town of Dorchester wherefarmland was scarce. He was not deeply religious like the Pilgrims.Anyhow, we do know that he was in Plymouth by 1643, more than 20 yearsafter the first Mayflower, ready to marry and be a farmer.

At 30, Hannah Pontus was rather old in 1644 when she married JohnChurchill. However, she was related to Governor Bradford, so John waspolitically well-connected by marrying Hannah. Despite her age, Hannahprovided John with six children.

John bought Richard Higgins? farm August 18, 1645, probably with helpfrom Governor Bradford. The deed written out by Mr. Higgins says thatthe buyer was "John Churchwell."

John Churchill (or Churchwell) was propounded a freeman June 4, 1650,and "admitted" to vote on June 5, 1651. He was doing well financially,because a man who was poor would not have been allowed to vote inthose days.

John bought 10 acres of upland on October 20, 1652, after hisfather-in-law died, using money his wife Hannah had inherited from herdad.

The occupation of John Churchill was listed as that of a "planter."His home was located in Plymouth at a place known locally as "HobbsHole." He died in 1662, leaving behind six young children, the oldestbeing only 16.

ANCESTORS OF JOHN CHURCHILL

His ancestors came from Dorset County in Muston, a town which nolonger exists. It may have been located near the present day town ofWinterbourne Kingston.

An ancestor of Sir Winston Churchill also came from Muston, a WilliamChurchill in the 1530?s. It is possible that this William Churchill isthe same ancestor for both the famous prime minister of England, andfor the John Churchill who went to Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Here is one theory about the Dorset line to John Churchill of 1643 inPlymouth Colony, but please note it may not be entirely correct. Forone thing, this lineage gives the wrong birthdate for John Churchill,who was born in 1613, not 1620.

William Churchill (b 1531 Dorset, England) = Mary Crense or Cruese (b1535)
John Churchill (b 1561 d 31 May 1621 Muston, Dorset, Eng.) = EleanorMeller (b 1565 Muston, Dorset, Eng). Bought Muston Manor in 1609.
John Churchill (b 1603 d 23 May 1682 Steeple, Dorset, Eng) = Sarah ??(b 1602 d 23 Oct 1678 Steeple, Dorset, Eng)
John Churchill (b abt 1620 d 1 Jan 1662/3 Plymouth, Plymouth, Ma.) =Hannah Pontus (b 1614 d 22 Dec 1690 Plymouth, Plymouth, Ma.) This isthe John Churchill who first appeared in the records of PlymouthColony in 1643.
