Henry Birdsall (1590)

Henry Birdsall arrived in America, a widower, 1632, near Boston with
his daughter Judith, age 13, and son Nathan, age 21. He was a member of
the First Church, Salem, and known as Birdsall, 1636. Judith kept house
for her father and brother. Her father got into trouble with the Court
for "stealing" an Indian girl. This trouble was probably caused by Judith
running around with Henry Cook and neglecting her housekeeping duties. I
don't think he "stole" the Indian girl. He may have cheated on the wages
though. Judith married Henry Cook in 1639.
Henry apparently lived for a year or two with his son, Nathan, it is
supposed, to keep him out of trouble during his troubles with Mr. Newman,
the army and getting married. While living there was chosen by the Court
of New Haven to keep the Meeting House clean upon all public meetings for 3
pounds 15 shillings a year. "Good" Birdsall, as he was called, probably to
identify him from his not-so-good son was paid 3 pounds 17 shillings for
work on a bridge. No mention is made of his occupation but as all men of
that time he must have done a lot of farming.
