Text | He immigrated about 1635 to Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. (808) In trying to determine exactly when William and Joanna brought their children to Salem, Massachusetts, the following seems to indicate it probably occurre in the summer of 1635: On April 1635, William apprenticed his 12 year old son, John, to cooper Lionel Gibson for "a period of 8 years from 24th June next." From Norwich Consistory and Archdeaconary Visitation Records, we find on 26 Nov 1635 that William and Joan Towne were cited by the Archdeacon for failing to appear for Communion and are noted as Separatists. William and Joanna's children who came with them on the ship circa 1635 were: Rebecca, ae 14; Jacob, age 3 1/2; and Mary, age 1. Edmund, age 7, supposedly came to America in June 1637 (at age 9) with the Henry Skerry family. However, there is some question if he is the same Edmund Towne who was listed as age 19 on the ship's manifest. Apprentice records in Great Yarmouth have no record of Edmund being bound to Skerry.
