He landed in Plymouth in 1643 and married Sarah Masterson, the daughter of Deacon Richard Masterson, who was prominent in the Puritan movement. His ancestry is traced well back in time, being tied to royalty and nobility. The early Atwood's spelled their names Atte Wood. John is listed on some records as John Wood. He held many responsibilities with the Puritans. He was the Colonial Treasurer. His home was next to the Churchill's. We descend from his son John. As a separate note, his daughter, Mary, was married secondly to Major William Brewster, another Drew Ancestor.

John came on the Mayflower with his wife Eleanor and sons Francis and John arriving in Plymouth in 1620. He was hanged in 1630, for the murder of John Newcomen. He was apparently not a member of the Puritan movement, but came looking for a new home away from England. 
Francis came with his parents on the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1620. he married Christian Penn Eaton, the widow of Francis Eaton in 1634. Their daughter, Abigail married Eleazer Churchill. 
Henry was a son of Ralph Blaisdell and Elizabeth. He was a tailor and was born in 1632 in England. He took the freemans oath in 1690 after marrying Mary Haddon in 1656 and died in Amesbury between 1705 and 1709. 
Ralph was a tailor in Salisbury, Massachusetts, first receiving land there in 1640. He married Elizabeth who died in August 1667 in Salisbury. Tradition states that Ralph boarded the ship Angel Gabriel which was wrecked on the Pemaquid Point in what is now the state of Maine. He may have had Puritan tendencies and some of the passengers of that ship were Puritans. After living in Maine for a few years, he relocated his family to Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts, where he was a man of influence. 
He was baptized at St. Haleris, Austerfield, Yorkshire, England on 19 March 1589-90 and died in Plymouth, Massachusetts 9 May 1657. In 1620, he sailed for America on the Mayflower, and shortly after his arrival was elected Governor of the Plymouth Colony, to which office, excluding 1633-35, 1638 and 1644, he was re-elected each year while he lived. 

Governor William Bradford married first in Amsterdam, Holland, Dorothea May, who accompanied him on the Mayflower. He married second, 14 August 1623, Alice Carpenter Southworth, who was born in 1590, and was the daughter of Alexander Carpenter of Wrentham, England and was the widow of Edward Southworth. As noted already, he was a very prominent man in the new Colony throughout his life. He was the author of the history of the activities of the Puritans and new residents of the Plymouth Colony. 

William was the son of Governor William Bradford and Alice Carpenter Southworth. He was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts on 17 June 1624 and died there 20 February 1704. He served as deputy governor, Commissioner of the United Colonies, and many other governmental positions. William held many military ranks and became a major in 1685. He married Alice Richards, daughter of Thomas Richards in 1650 -1. They had ten children. 
He came to Boston on the ship Lion, arriving there on 16 September 1632. He became a freeman on 14 May 1634 and died early in 1646. 
William Brewster was the famous Puritan Elder, who was a central figure in the Puritan efforts of the late 1500's and early 1600's. He was born in Scrooby, Nottingham, England in 1563. On 3 December 1580, he matriculated at Peterhouse College, Cambridge. He did not remain to complete his course, leaving the university to enter the service of William Davison, Assistant Secretary of State. In 1587 Davison was involved in the tragedy of Mary Stuart. Although Queen Elizabeth was always antagonistic to Sir Thomas Walsingham, Secretary of State, she had absolute faith in his loyalty and retained him in office until the end. She preferred, however, to conduct her daily correspondence through his associate Davison, and to him she entrusted the death warrant of Mary, Queen of Scots. Without delay Davison passed the fatal paper to the Privy Council, and the execution was carried out. Whether from remorse or fear of public disapproval, the Queen regretted her action and made Davison the scapegoat, stating that he had slipped the document between other papers requiring her signature and that she had signed it through inadvertence. Davis was imprisoned, and although subsequently released, he was financially ruined and permanently disgraced. His friend and patron being a victim of such an injustice, was probably one of the causes that influenced William Brewster in his determined stand as a religious and political reformer. 

During this period, he became an active Separatist, advocating that the Puritan element withdraw from the "Church as by law Established." This movement was considered a threat to the state and the Puritan leaders attempted to escape to Holland. They were intercepted and imprisoned. Upon their release, Brewster and his associates made their way to Holland in 1608. He was chosen as the ruling Elder of the congregation. He was an instructor in the University of Leyden and conducted a small printing office. He printed a number of heretical works in several languages during 1617 and 1618. Eventually his press was confiscated through the intervention of the British Government. In 1620, he took his flock to England after the Dutch decided the influx of religious refugees had created an economic crisis and shortage of food. The Puritans sailed for America on 6 September 1620 from Delfshaven, England and arrived in Plymouth harbor after a difficult voyage on a bleak day in December in 1620. It was stated that the only reason he was not elected Governor of the Colony was that the civil and ecclesiastical office in the same person was deemed incompatible. He is credited as being the author of the "Mayflower Compact." 

He was the son of William Brewster and was a passenger on the Mayflower. He was made a freeman on 2 March 1635-6. He devoted the greater part of his life to agriculture. He died in the fall of 1650. He married Sarah Collier, who was born in England about 1616, the daughter of William Collier, one of the "Merchant Adventurers." She died 26 April 1691, at the age of 76.

He was a farmer in West Parish, on "the Chandler Homestead." He was surveyor 1716-1720; selectman 1720, chosen as selectman to oversee the poor 1725-26-28. He was chosen a trustee of the town, to take out of the Province Treasury "their aforesaid part of 60,000 pounds." At one time in his life, as he went to Newburyport, he was impressed by three of the kings officials, saying to him, as they laid their hands on his shoulder, "the King needs your services; you will go with us." Apparently yielding, he walked quietly along until they reached a spot where a house had been burned and where there was a deep cellar with ashes and half consumed timbers still burning, then turning round quickly, he seized them, one by one, and threw them all into the cellar, where he left them and went his way. 

He married Hannah Frye on  4 June 1701. She was born 12 April 1683 and died 1 August 1727 aged forty-four years.

He has one of the original proprietors of Concord, New Hampshire and a man of much influence. In 1733, he was tithingman and treasurer of Pennycook, New Hampshire. In 1746, he was captain of the garrison round the house of Rev. Timothy Walker. Captain Chandler was a man of great muscular power and a great wrestler. It is related "that being informed that Rev. Mr. Wise, of Ipswich, excelled in the art of wrestling, and had not been thrown, he made a journey on purpose to try his strength and skill. Mr. Wise on being requested, declined, having relinquished the practice as unsuitable to his profession. But being earnestly solicited by Mr. Chandler, they went into a door-yard which was fenced by a wall set in the bank, took hold, and began to play; when Mr. Wise suddenly, with a trip and a twitch, threw him over the wall upon his back. Chandler arose and requested another trial, but Mr. Wise refused. So the Captain returned home sadly disappointed." He married Tabitha Abbot, daughter of Nathaniel and Dorcas (Hibbert) Abbot. 
Thomas was the second child of William and Annis Chandler and was born in 1630. He died "15 day 1703". He was one of the early pioneers in the settlement of Andover, and was employed with George Abbot Sr. (another Drew ancestor) and others to lay out lands granted individuals by the general court.

She died in Andover, 25 October 1717, aged eighty-seven. Thomas was made a Captain in the militia and served as representative to the general court in 1678 and 1679 from Andover. 
William and his wife, Annis, emigrated to Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1637. Annis is supposed to have been a sister of Deacon George Alcock, of Roxbury. He took the freemans oath in 1640, and was at that time stricken with disease which caused his demise on 26 November 1641. He was among the proprietors of Andover, with his son Thomas, and tradition says he was the owner of the tannery at the corner of Bartlett street and Shawmut avenue, Roxbury. He had consumption for a year before he died. A chronicler of his time says he "lay near a yeare sick, in all which time his faith, patience and Godliness and Contentation so shined that Christ was much glorified in him -- He was a man of weake parts but excellent faith and holiness; he was a very thankful man, and much magnified Gods goodness. He was poor, but God prepared the hearts of his people to him that he never wanted that which was (at least in his esteem) very plentiful and comfortable to him -- he died in the year 1641 and left a sweet memory and savor behind him." 
John was born in Muston, Dorset, England in 1620 and first appeared in Plymouth Massachusetts in 1643. He died there on 1 January 1662-3. John married Hannah Pontus on 18 December 1644.

She was born in Holland or England in 1623. Hannah died on 22 December 1690. Their daughter, Hannah, married John Drew. We are also descendants of their son, Eliezer Churchill. He was an ancestor of Sally Churchill, the wife of David Drew. The Churchill family has at least four direct ancestral ties to the Drews of the late 1800's. Their children also married into the Billington and Ellis families and those spouses were also our direct ancestors. We have four direct connections with the Churchill family counting John and Hannah as one of those connections. His father, Joseph Churchill, was a merchant on Fleet Lane in London and in 1628 was supplying arms and other articles of outfit to Governor Endicott, of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Churchill family is documented back to the times of Roger De Courcil, of France, who accompanied William, Duke of Normandy on his invasion of England.

He was born after August, 1583 and died 7 April 1663 over age 80. His wife Hester, came to America in July, 1623 on the ship Anne with what was said to be the remainder of his children, therefore, at least one was with him on the Mayflower.

He was not given the title of "Mr.," but gave frequent service on the grand inquest and trial juries and was a surveyor of highways. His name was on the list of Freemen dated 1633.

Samuel was the common ancestor of the Hinckley surname in America. He was a Dissenter, in England through 14 March 1634-5. In order to escape out of his native country, he was obliged to swear that he "conformed to the order and discipline of the Church of England." This oath, whether taken with or without mental reservation, was perjury, according to the English Laws. They did outwardly "conform" in order to save themselves from imprisonment or persecution. 

In the spring of 1635, Nathaniel Tilden, Samuel Hinckley, John Lewis and James Austin of Tenderden, Kent, England and several other families emigrated to New England along with their families.

One charge against her was that she went from Amesbury to Newbury afoot, in a "dirty season." without getting her clothing wet. She is described as "a short, active woman, wearing a hood and scarf, plump and well developed in her figure, of remarkable personal neatness;" one who "scorned to be drabbled;" "a strong minded woman, as her examination shows." 

If the testimony of William Brown is conclusive as to date, she was accused of witchcraft as early as 1660. In April, 1669, suit of George Martyn against William Sergeant, for slander, in saying said Martyn's wife was a witch, the jury found for the defendant, but the court "concurred not with the jury." George Martyn gave bond that his wife Susanna should appear at the next court to answer to the charge concerning suspicion of witchcraft. In October 1669, she was required to acknowledge in open court that she wronged Christopher Bartlett, in charging him with lying and stealing. An interesting side note is that William Sergeant is also a direct Drew progenitor from Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts.
