He first married Lydia.
(NOTE: Robert Pease c. 1603, md. 2 Dec. 1628 at Widford, Essex to Lydia West, spinster of Great Baddow. This information from Essex Marriage Licenses in London via Marshall McCoy via Scott Foster. Is this Robert and Lydia?)

Robert and Lydia had the following children: Robert Pease and John Pease.

He second married Marie. Certain communications indicate that her last name was French. While Rice goes into her Huguenot background, there is no reference to the name "French". Banks cites the records of The Quarterly Court, Vol I for three children by this marriage.

Robert married Lydia in 1609 in England. Lydia was born in 1591 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

NOTE: He died sometime between Sept 1677 and June 3, 1689, when his widow disposed of her interests in his estate. She remarried in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he may have died.

Biography:
This man lived a troubled life. Emigrating to Salem at the age of 27, he married into the Weston family, which was embroiled with the local authorities over theology. His father in law was banished and later died in prison for his heretical teachings. His mother in law went mad and his wife, faced with arrest, was forced to recant shortly before she died. In 1644, the year his father-in-law was banished, his mother and brother died and John Pease sold his property in Salem and 'fled' to Martha's Vineyard, becoming one of the original settlers. There he remarried and peaceably raised a second family until he joined in the rebellion against the autocratic rule of Governor Mayhew in 1673. In the wake of reprisals by the Governor following his reestablishment of authority, John Pease left Martha's Vineyard for the mainland, probably for Portsmouth, New Hampshire, although it is not known for sure when or where he died.

Salem Records:
November 1634: Sailed with his brother Robert on the Ship Francis from Ipswich, arriving at Boston late in 1634.
3 Nov 1635, Salem court record: "Ordered that John Pease shalbe whipt and bound to his good behaviour for strikeing his mother [in law] Mrs. Weston and deryding of her and for dyvers other misdemeanors and other evell carriages". Massachusetts Colony Records, 1, 155.
1637, Salem: Mentioned as having land in the early Salem Town Record. "Robert Pease and his brother"
23 Apr 1638, Salem: granted "five acres of land next adjoining so Samuell Cominge neer unto the watermill"
18 June 1644, Salem: sold his house and 75 acres of land to his neighbor, Richard Ingersoll.
(His father in law being arrested in 1643, his wife arrested and/or recanting her 'heretical views', his mother and brother dying in 1644, all make his removal to Martha's Vineyard in 1645 understandable.)

Martha's Vineyard Records:
23 March 1646/7, Edgartown: sold ten acres of land at Mattakeeset to John Bland.
1650, New London, Connecticut: evidently involved in land transactions here. Probable that in these years he was involved in some land transactions in Connecticut before returning to the Vineyard.

Little record of him in the next twenty years, although he acquired a good deal of land and scattered lots on the Vineyard. Evidently lived first at Mattakeeset and then on the first lot of the Five and Twenty, situated at the north end of town at the place ever since known as Pease's Point (land which eventually was sold to Hannah Mayhew Daggett in 1692).

4 March 1674: will (Dukes Deeds, 1, 340)

Register Report: Robert Pease (1565-1623)

Evidently left the island following the dispute with Governor Mayhew. Not known when or where he died, but it is highly likely it was at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as that is where his widow remarried.

Research: Banks states that he devoted more time to John Pease's history than anyone owing to the claim that John Pease first settled on the island in 1632 and had a claim prior to Thomas Mayhew. This alleged settlement could not be born out by the discovered facts of his life.

Caulkins, an early histoiographer of Norwich and New London, Connecticut, confounds John Sr. and John Jr.,the latter living on a lot granted to his father, he not being of age when the grant was made. This is perhaps where the death place entry of New London in the Ancestral File comes from, although it is not known for sure where John Sr. died.

3. Vincent, Hebron, The Early Settlement of Martha's Vineyard (The Pease Tradition) - 1889 (Dukes County Intelligencer, Vol IV, No.2, Nov. 1962, Edgartown, Mass.) argues for the tradition that John Pease settled on Martha's Vineyard prior to the Mayhews.

///Two extant genealogies of the Pease line: 1st compiled by Frederic S Pease (1847) adopts the legend of the landing of John Pease on the Vineyard in 1632. 2nd compiled by Austin Spencer Pease (1869) (above) discards this legend. One or the other or both try to deny the violence to Mrs. Weston, with no evidence. (Vol II, 96) /// (See notes on Lucy Weston, his first wife).

He first married Lucy Weston, daughter of Francis Weston and Margaret abt 1630. Her father, an early settler in Salem, was originally a friend and supporter of Roger Williams, whom he followed in exile to Rhode Island. His second wife, Margaret, was a follower of Samuel Gorton, as became her husband and daughter Lucy. All were condemned by the local authorities at Salem and eventually banished to Rhode Island. Banks contends that Margaret later "became of hopelessly unsound mind." This was the environment that Banks cuts Pease some slack in his "forcible repression" of his mother-in-law, saying that "Doubtless she deserved forcible repression, and invited it by her actions."

17 October 1643: Lucy recanted her 'heretical views' (Mass. Col. Records, ii, 50).

They had the following children: James Pease and John Pease, born 1639. Died before 1711 in Norwich, Connecticut.

Great Baddow Parish Register: Robert the sonne of Robert Pease and his wife bap. April 1630.

At the age of 4 (1634) he traveled to Salem on the 'Francis' with his father Robert and his uncle John. Following the death of his father in 1644, the 14 year old Robert lived with his mother for a year, and at the age of 15 was apprenticed to Thomas Root of Salem for a term of five years. When his term expired in 1650 he appears in Edgertown, Mass. where his uncle had taken up residence in 1644. He evidently returned to Salem before 1660 (Banks), where he appears in 1667 with the birth of the first of his children.

He was with the Salem Company during King Philips War of 1676-6. Both he and his wife suffered imprisonment in 1692 when they were suspected of witchcraft. His wife was living in 1704 and he was living in 1713 when he was dismissed from the church in Salem to aid in forming the first church at what is now Peabody, Mass. No further record has been found of them.

Sarah Pease Biography:
A young girl of 13 or 14 when her father rebelled against the autocracy of Governor Mayhew, she evidently remained on the island, if indeed her father left at that point. She eventually married into the very family that her father had had so much trouble wilth, marrying the Governor's grandson, the second son of the Governor's 'favorite daughter, Hannah. The marriage has never been confirmed, however, and is considered very probble. See Family Group Sheets in LUNDELL for her parents and ancestors.

She married John Daggett, Deacon, son of Thomas Daggett and Hannah Mayhew, 1685. He was b.7 Sep 1662 in Edgartown, Dukes, Mass, She died 7 Sep 1724 in Attleborough, Bristol, Mass. He was buried in Attleborough Old "Hatch Burying Ground". Occupation Tanner (Vineyard) / Innkeeper (Attlebrough).

John Daggett Biography:
John Daggett must have had a rather remarkable impact on the community of Attleborough, through his son Ebenezer he was the father of a number of influential and important Daggetts in the history of Massachusetts and Connecticut, including a president of Yale University, Napthali Daggett, who led a contingent of students against the British when they invaded New Haven during the American Revolution. Another ancestor, bearing his ancestor's name John, wrote a historical sketch of Attleborough in 1849.

Deacon John was born and raised in Edgartown before moving to Chilmark to try his hand at tanning. In 1711 he sold his land there and moved to the mainland near the homelands of his uncle with the purchase of 200 acres of land on the main highway between Providence and Boston. That purchase also must have included the 'Old Garrison House' - an inn and tavern that had been garrisoned with troops during King Phillips War and was a familiar stopping point on that well travelled road. Deacon John sold the inn in 1722 and the building continued to stand until 1806 - 136 years from the time it was built about 1670. He died two years after retiring as it's innkeeper. He was 62.

Sarah married Daggett, Deacon John in 1685 in Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts, United States. John was born on 7 Sep 1662 in Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts, United States; died on 7 Sep 1724 in Attleborough, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States; was buried in Old Hatch Burying Ground Attleborough, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States.
