"Ancestral Heads of New England Families," Frank R. Holmes (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1999), p. cvi states the surname is from "Little Hal or Henry, the diminutive termination ett being added.... Andrew came to Plymouth Colony, 1637, proprietor at Dorchester, Mass., 1638, removed to Sandwich, Mass., afterwards to Yarmouth, Mass." Basic information is in "The Great Migration...1634-1635" (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2003), Vol. 3, pp. 195-200.
Andrew was baptised 19-May-1607 at Symondsbury, Dorsetshire, England, and sailed 20-Mar-1635 from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England to Massachusetts. His wife was Mary _______. He brought his wife and several children to Lynn, Mass. in 1636, then to Plymouth, 1637, and Sandwich, 1638. He appears to have been the schoolmaster. He was a proprietor in Yarmouth, 1639 (owning 200 acres, including the tidal pond and mill; most of his land was in what became Barnstable). He was taxed in Bowood, Dorset, England in 1640 on a subsidy - not many of the New England immigrants are found on these subsidies, as only a few of them were freeholders - the subsidies were a special tax which Parliament permitted the king to levy on landowners who had sufficient personal property to make collection of taxes cost-effective. At his death, Andrew left a cow to Yarmouth for the use of the poor. {-cf."Parentage of Andrew Hallett of Yarmouth, Mass.," by John G, Hunt, in "The American Genealogist," April, 1961, pp. 84-5} An "Andrewe Hallett, age 28, servant to Richard Wade" is on a list of persons bound from Weymouth to New England dated 20 March 1635/36 in "The Complete Book of Immigrants, 1607-1660", Peter Wilson Coldham (1988). The Hallett family is also treated in "Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families," C. F. Swift (Barnstable, MA: F.B. & F.P. Goss, 1888) and Family Tree Maker's CD 194, "Cape Cod Library," I:1244. Also see NEHGR (1946) 100:220, and "Pioneers of Massachusetts - 1620-1650," Charles Henry Pope (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2013), p. 209.
----- From: eberan@juno.com (Evelyn S. Beran) 5 Jan 1998:
The book by Janet Elaine (Hallett) Smith ["The Hallett History" (December, 1994: VanJan Publishing Co., 190 Filmore Avenue, Grand Forks ND 58201); (701)775-4357] has some thoroughly enjoyable narrative about both Andrew Sr. and Andrew Jr., Andrew Jr.'s will and inventory, and pictures of Stedcombe House in Devon, built by a Richard Hallett about 1697 -- probably a "cousin" to our line. The rest is on more recent generations. But she does nothing to solve our identity questions regarding Andrew & Beatrix, Andrew Sr. and Mary, and Andrew Jr. She cites Otis, Savage, Banks, and inquired of mystery writer Mary Higgins Clark, who wrote a story about a Hallett family in England, and who set her well-researched story in the Hallett house in Devon; also a reply from Elizabeth Murray, a literary researcher who worked with Clark, who reported that Stedcome House was destroyed during the English Civil War and rebuilt by Richard Hallett 40 years later. And that the Halletts had made their money in the West Indies. Janet Hallett Smith notes family stories that at least some of the New England Halletts were involved in rum running. One story is that some of the rum was hidden in a certain "Widow Hallett's barn," and in order to keep anyone from finding it, she gradually drank it all herself! Story not proven to Janet's satisfaction, but fun. She identifies the Andrew Hallett who came at age 28, servant of Richard Wade, age 60, as Andrew Hallett Sr. She cites Banks' Topographical Dictionary that Andrew Hallet came from the parish of Stoke Abbott (or Stoke Abbas), and that "Andrew Hallett of our Yarmouth" paid subsidies in Bowood in Dorset. Another reference under South Bowood/Stoke Abbortt: "Narcissus Pavye (paid) for Andrew Hallet now in New England" -- presumably the subsidy. Another reference is that twice Andrew Hallet signed the Protestations Returns (1642 onwards); these were signed by Protestants, but refused by Catholics and Dissenters. He signed these in the parish of Netherbury. Cites that Savage refers to Andrew as going home about 1645 but soon coming again. Smith pondered why "gentleman" Andrew, obviously a man of good estate, came as an indentured servant to Richard Wade. Her investigation led her to "a tradition in Dorset England, that Andrew Hallett Sr. wrote to some of his relatives congratulating himself on his cleverness in outsmarting the ship line. If he came as the gentleman he was, he would have had to pay his own fare, as well as that of his wife and all six children. So he persuaded a cooper, Richard Wade, age 60, to list him as an indentured servant in exchange for paying one-half of the fare for Richard Wade. As a result, Andrew Hallett was able to transport his entire family to the colonies for only one-half one one fare, rather than the eight fares he should have paid. Further information from this purported letter told that when they got off the boat in the new land, Richard Wade began to give Mr. Hallett orders, to which Mr. Hallett replied, "I am on free soil now; no one shall ever again tell me what to do." And, according to records of people who knew him in America (including Gov. William Bradford, who confirmed this story in some of his writings), 'no one ever did!'"
-----
Of Andrew Jr. she says: "Of the children of Andrew Hallett Sr. 'His other children were better educated; but, notwithstanding, Andrew was the most respectable and succeeded best in life.'" [MY NOTE: the discrepancy in education might also be explained by Andrew Jr. being nephew rather than son of Andrew Sr. -- hence educated in a different family.]
"Andrew Hallett Jr. married Ann Besse. She was the daughter of Anthony Besse of either Lynn or Sandwich. According to tradition, she was only fourteen years old when they married, but she was said to be a strong healthy woman, and that she was the mother of twins before her fifteenth birthday. The tradition further relates that on the day following the birth of her children she requested her mother, who acted as nurse, to take care of the babies while she went out to seek birds eggs for them. The grandmother at that time could not have been over thirty, for she had children of her own fifteen years younger than her grandchild Abigail, and if Ruhama was one of the twins, not far from twenty. They lived in Sandwich until July 28, 1640, when he sold his farm to Daniel Wing and Andrew moved to Yarmouth, where he lived until his death in 1684. Following in the Hallett tradition which had been established by his father, Andrew Jr. eventually became the largest land holder in Yarmouth, owning about three hundred acres of the best lands and meadows in the town. He owned so much property on both sides of the main lane that it was eventually named "Hallett Street," which it is still called today. He also owned lands and meadows in Barnstable, 1000 acres in Windham, Conn., and approximately 500 acres more just outside Yarmouth. "Again turning to Amos Otis, we learn more of Andrew Jr.'s reputation. "The mode in which he acquired his large estate I shall attempt to elucidate. Two words, industry and economy, are the keys which unlock the whole mystery....
"Andrew Hallett Jr. did not acquire his wealth by official services. His name frequently occurs on the records, but not in connection with any office that conferred much honor or afford him large emoluments. In 1642, '56 and '58 he was a surveyor of highways; in 1651 and 1679 constable. In 1659 he was appointed by the Court one of a committee to raise money for the support of the ministry in Yarmouth. In 1660, '67 and '75 he was on the grand jury; and Oct. 30, 1667 he was appointed by the Colony Court, at the request of the town, a member of the land committee of Yarmouth. None of these are offices of honor or profit; but they show that he was a man in whom his neighbors had confidence, that he was a man of common sense and sound judgment. When a young man he was unable to write, yet soon after he came to Yarmouth he acquired that art, for in 1659 I find his name subscribed to the verdict of a jury of inquest. "He took the oath of fidelity while a resident in Sandwich, and his name and that of his father appears on the list of those who were able to bear arms in Yarmouth in August 1643. On the criminal calendar his name does not appear. In those times the most trifling faults were noted, and he who escaped a prosecution must necessarily have lived a blameless life. He also kept his name off of the civil docket.... He was a member of the church in Yarmouth; but circumstances show that he did not entirely acquiese in all the crude notions promulgated by Mr. Matthews. He often attended the meetings of Mr. Lothrop, and Mr. Walley, and some of the members of his family afterward joined the Barnstable church.... One of the major points of interest which ran through the Hallett family was the type of houses in which they lived. Andrew Hallet Jr.'s house is dscribed thusly by Amos Otis: "The house which he bought of Gyles Hopkins in 1642, was probably the same that Mr. Stephen Hopkins built in the summer of 1638, and if so, was the first house built by the English on Cape Cod below Sandwich. it was small and poorly constructed, and was occupied as a dwelling not many years.... It probably contained at first only one room. The excavation into the hill, and the chimney, covered nearly the whole of the west side, and the other three sides were covered with hand-sawed or hew planks, and the roof with thatch. The walls were not shingled on the outside, or plastered on the in. The seams in the boarding were filled or "daubed" with clay. Oiled paper supplied the place of glass....
"The second house in which Andrew Hallett Jr. resided in Yarmouth stood on the west side of the mill road. Family tradition says that Andrew Hallett built the house himself. "The new house was built on a little knoll, and fronted due south, as all ancient dwellings did. By such a location, our fathers secured two objects which they considered essential: the rays of the sun at noon, or dinnertime, as they called that hour of the day, shone parallel with the side of the house, and their "great room" in which they lived, was on the sunny or warm side of the house. The chimney was uniformly built on the west side, and projected outside of the frame. The exact size of Andrew Hallett's new house cannot be stated accurately: it was about 22 feet by 26 on the ground, and was only about one or one and one-half stories high. The "great room" about 17 feet square, occupied the southeast corner. The fireplace was eight feet wide and four deep, and the mantle, which was of wood, was laid about five feet and a half high, so that the family could pass to the oven, which opened on the back of the fireplace near the south corner. There was a small kitchen or work room at the northwest corner; at the northeast corner a small pantry, with a trap door leading to the cellar. Between the pantry and the great room was a bed-room, the floor of which was elevated about two feet, to give greater depth to the cellar. The bed occupied near all the space, and it was so low in the walls that a tall person could not stand upright therein. A ladder in the front entry led to the chamber, which was occupied for weaving and lodging rooms. No part of the house was ever painted or any of the rooms papered. The windows were of small diamond shaped glass set in lead. No blinds or curtains were needed, and none were ever used. The furniture of the house was for use, not for show.... He had one of the lushest orchards in Massachusetts, setting goals for others to try to achieve. He had Kentish Cherry trees brought over by the Pilgrims, which rapidly multiplied by suckers and were set on the outer edge to protect the other less hardy trees. He raised apple trees from seeds, brought from England. The pignose--a good winter apple--was the most productive. The Foxwell was a fall apple of fair quality. He also had pear trees, raised from seeds, but they did not prove to live long. He also had French sugar pear trees, which he grafted into the poorer pear seedlings and which survived quite well. 'Goodman' Hallett, as he was called, was referred to as a husbandman. By honest industry, skillful management and economy, he accumulated a large estate. In 1676 his tax was one twentieth of the taxes of all of Yarmouth. "He was a very practical man. The furniture in his house bore witness to his belief that "nothing was valuable that was not useful." "A large house makes a slave of the wife, and elegant furniture drouges of the daughters," he was quoted as saying to his neighbors. He had Indian servants who assisted him in the labors of his fields. He never expected them to do anything he was not willing to do himself. When asked why he lived in so small a house, he is said to have replied, "Comfort lives in a small house and needs no servants: care in a large one, and requires many." He was also very cautious of spending money. "Daylight," he would say, "was cheaper than candlelight" and as soon as the day broke he was up and dressed. He was a man of faith, beginning each day around the breakfast table with the odler daughter reading a passage from the Bible, singing a few stanzas from a favorite hymn and Goodman Hallett kneeling down in prayer, asking God's blessing and protection on his country, his church, his household and his dear friends in England. "He loved to tell stories to his children about "home," as he called Old England. "He was handy with all types of chores, from the making of andirons for the fireplace to the making of shoes for his family. He demanded the same industrious spirit from his wife and children. "The girl who did not know that the dishwater should be heating during meal time is unfit to be married," he told his daughter, Abigail, when she was in her teens. His wife was an expert weaver and seamstress, a craft which was handed down to many future generations. "Goodman" Hallett died in the spring of 1684. He was at least 70 years of age. All of his children had married and left home...." The inventory of the estate was appraised by John Miller and John Thacher on 19 May 1684 and signed by his widow, Ann Hallet 31 May 1684 (copy of inventory included). Ann Hallett continued to live in the easterly part of the house; her grandson John Bourne lived with her and her son Jonathan occupied the west part of the house. She died in the spring of 1694, leaving a will dated June 23 1684. Her wearing apparel, consisting of articles of wool, linen and silk, hose shoes, hat, etc., was appraised at L15-00-00 or 50 dollars in silver money, showing that on the Sabbath and holidays she dressed in great style. There is a sketch of the interior layout of the home, and a copy of Andrew Hallett Jr.'s will.
Smith includes narrative about daughter Abigail and her marriage to Captain John Alden Jr. (son of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins) on 10 Dec 1672; he was 17 years older than Abigail. In 1692 he was accused of witchcraft -- there is narrative about the incident, taken from "The Witches of Salem."
Martha Bourne, daughter of Bathsheba Hallett and Richard Bourne, married John Bradford, son of Dorothy and William Bradford. She includes some interesting narrative about Dorothy Bradford.
---
A young girl, Maria Hallett, recognized as a descendant of Andrew Hallett, but whose ancestry is not spelled out, (identified by Smith as probably the daughter of John Hallett), was at Crosby's Tavern one night when a terrible storm forced a ship full of seamen to come ashore to wait out the storm. The storm lasted several days and during that time Maria (age 16) had an affair with a sailor, Samuel Bellamy, and by the time he left port she was carrying his baby. It is said he promised Maria he would return for her once he had amassed a fortune for her. Soon afterwards he was considered one of the most notorious pirates to sail the seas. Maria's baby died the same night it was born and people said it was because "Black Sam is the devil in the flesh, and Maria has consorted with the devil." She was accused of witchcraft. On Cape Cod the witches were sentences to jail rather than hanged. After a few days, Maria's father was able to convince the town council (with a great deal of money), that Maria was not dangerous and should be freed. They forbade her to live in the town, however, and she resided all her days in a little shanty across a field of poverty grass which was known as "Goody Hallett's meadow." She was well-known for weaving the most beautiful fabrics in all of Massachusetts, and although people were forbidden to visit her, many risked being stoned to cross the meadow and purchase her fine fabrics.
The National Geographic of July 1975 published an article about Cape Cod which included the story of Maria Hallett and Black Sam Bellamy. "It even elaborated further, claiming that "she sat, keeping watch on the shore, waiting for the return of her lover, Black Sam Bellamy, warning the sailors of danger by tying lanterns on the tails of whales." ... "The magazine account goes on to tell of the red slippers she always wore, and that on April 22, 1751, she succombed to the sea and was demolished by one of the whales off the coast. Further proof of this lies in the fact that when one of the whales was captured and cut open, inside they found Maria's red slippers." "The Encyclopedia Americana" says of Samuel Bellamy, "a notorious pirate, was wrecked in his ship, the Whidah, of 23 guns and 130 men, off Wellfleet, on Cape Cod, in April 1717, after having captures several vessels on the coast and an indecisive engagement with a French ship proceeding to Quebec. Only one Indian and one Englishman escaped of his crew. Six of the pirates, who had been run ashore when drunk a few days previous, by the captain of the captured vessel, were hung in Boston in November 1717. "Black Sam," as he was known by then, was never seen again, nor was his body ever recovered." "The Whidah, Black Sam's ship, was lost off the coast and it was not until a crew who specialize in searching for lost sailing vessels found the remains just off the coast of Cape Cod, near Wellfleet. Did Black Sam ever know that he had a son who died at birth? Was he returning to bring his fortunes to Maria? No one will ever know, but there were huge amounts of Spanish gold on board when it was located, as well as mammoth emeralds from Colombia. When was the ship found? Not until 1992!"
Her pedigree chart shows: Generation 1: Androwe HALLET b. England, m. Betryx KNOTE 1598, Symonsbury, England. Generation 2: Andrew HALLETT Sr., b. Symonsbury, England (elsewhere she says about 1607), m. Mary, came to America in 1635 and lived in Yarmouth MA; died Yarmouth MA about 1652; Mary died about 1660 at Yarmouth. Generation 3: Andrew HALLETT Jr., born about 1615 in England; married Ann BESSE, daughter of Anthony of Lynn and Sandwich, died spring 1694; Ann died 1684 at Yarmouth MA.
The only way I [Evelyn] can believe this sequence is If Andrew Sr. was son of Andrew and Beatrix, born as the first child of their marriage about 1599, although christened in 1607. If born in 1599, he would be 16 at the birth of Andrew Jr. in 1615 -- and that is pushing it, by my logic. If born about 1607, he'd be much to young to be the father of a son born 1615. But the Andrew who came about 1635 was age 28 (born about 1607) and Smith identifies that one as Andrew Sr. by her narrative based on English tradition... Ann Besse, by tradition, married Andrew Jr. at age 14 and had twins by age 15 -- I have the twins' birth as 1644. That would guestimate Andrew Jr. and Ann's marriage as 1643, and Anne's birth at 1629. And make Andrew Jr., if born 1615, 29 at marriage -- not unrealistic. But also probably a nephew rather than a son of Andrew Sr., IF Andrew Sr. is the immigrant with Richard Wade in 1635!!
