  • Notes 
    • He is supposed to have come with the party of Rev. Richard Blynman in 1640. He was one of the earliest settlers and proprietors of Gloucester, MA. In 1642 he owned 6 acres of hoed ground; no grant can be found, so he must have settled on it before the incorporation of the town. He sold a house and land there to John Avery. He was in Watertown, MA in 1642, perhaps in Reading in 1644, and then in Boston, MA about 1657. His will was proved 27 September 1670. "It is said" he descended from Prince David of North Wales. The surname is probably Flemish and came to England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth when some 30,000 Flemish weavers left the Netherlands in search of religious freedom. Ironically, he was a Quaker in a province where that was a crime. Henry was born in Wales, circa 1590. He married Margaret (?) in Wales, say 1608. Henry Felch resided in Gloucester, Essex County, Massachusetts, in 1641. Henry Felch resided in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in 1642. He married Elizabeth (?) in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, after 2 Oct 1656 (2nd of 8th). Henry died circa August, 1670 in Boston, Mass.. His will was dated 4 July 1670, and was proved 27 September of the same year. [1]
