Zachary Bicknell (1590)
Zachary Bicknell and Agnes his wife sailed from England in the spring
of 1635. He was 45 years of age, and his wife 37. The entire family at
this time consisted of Zachary, his wife Agnes, their son John (11 yrs. of
age) and John Kitchen, a servant, aged 23. This family group formed a
part of the company of 106 English emigrants that came with the Rev.
Joseph Hull, a forty year old minister, from Somerset and Dorset, and were
permitted to settle at Weymouth, MA. Zachary Bicknell died within about a
year after his arrival at Weymouth,not, however, until he had built a house
and established a home, embracing twenty acres of unfenced land. His
widow soon married Richard Rockett (or Rockwood), and the home of the
Bicknells was sold to William Reade. His only son and heir, John, lived
to produce a large posterity from which most of the Bicknell's in America
descend.
