John Bancroft:
Sources: Genealogies & Biographies of Ancient Windsor, Stiles; The Bancroft Tree 350 Years in America 1632-1982, Constance Marie Bancroft:

Came in the "James" from London, England April 1632 arriving after 8 weeks on 12 Jun 1632. Resided in Lynn, Massachusetts. His widow Jane received 100 acres at Lynn in 1638. This land, formerly Jane's was disputed between Jonathan Stratten and Thomas Talmadge Jr., 16 Nov 1644. Thomas Bancroft, poet (a native of Swarkstone on-the-Trent, Derbyshire, where his parents are buried, and who printed a volume of epigrams and epitaphs, 1639, London, England, says of his brother:
"You sold your land the lighter hence to go
To foreign coasts, yet (fate would have it so)
Did ne'er New England reach, but went with them
That journey toward New Jerusalem".
Tradition speaks of a sojourn on Long Island and the death there of one of 3 brothers, and that 1 brother went to Massachusetts and 1 to Connecticut.

Original name may have been Barcroft.

(From The Bancroft Tree) Our immigrant ancestor was John Bancroft, Bishop of Oxford, of Warston-on-the-Trent, Derbyshire. We are from a branch of the family that settled at Swarkston, Derbyshire.

There is a discrepency with Thomas' marriages, Stiles says he married 1) Margaret Wright 8 Dec 1653 and 2) ?. Stiles also says that Thomas died 14 Dec 1684 in Enfield. Bancroft says he was married to 1) Alice Bacon and 2) Elizabeth Metcalf.[phelps2185.FTW]
