Jeanne WOOLEN

Notes:

Name:
The connection of the John halls of Boston and New Haven with the Wilkes family makes the identification more complete. In 1633, probably on the "Griffin", Mr. William Wilkes came over with his wife and several relatives and settled in Boston, where he was living, August, 1636, as the records show an order of that date requiring him "to set his fence in line so as to provide for a street." February 9, 1634, his wife, Joan, joined the church in Boston. In the fall of 1637, he went with Governor Eaton to New Haven, his family probably following him the next year with Davenport. He remained there until 1644, when he returned to England, dying there two or three years later. His wife embarked for London in January, 1646, in Lamberton's Ill-fated ship and was lost at sea. In Mr. Wilkes' family was a young English girl, perhaps half through her teens, Joan Wollen, or Jeanne, as she was more commonly called, supposed to have been a niece or cousin of Mrs. Wilkes whose name she bore. This young girl could hardly have escaped the sharp eyes of a young fellow of twenty-seven or eight, like John Hall, in so small a town as Boston then was, and it was impossible that he should not have made her acquaintance during the five years both were living there, if he had not already done so on the voyage over. In 138, Jeanne goes with Mrs. Wilkes to New Haven. The next year John Hall, presumable the freeman of 1634, and the Pequot soldier of 1637, also appears there and makes a settlement, and not long after marries this same young English girl, Jeanne Wollen.
