1638 Yorkshire to Salem MA.
From Tenney genealogy: Thomas Tenney, a member of the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers' company from Yorkshire, England, arrived at Salem, Mass. in December, 1638, and settled at Rowley, Mass. in April, 1639. (Gage's Hist. Rowley.). In a deposition taken at Ipswich, Mass. 4 May, 1680, Mr. Tenney testifies in relation to an ox pasture in Rowley, and at that date he gave his age as about sixty-six years. (Ipswich Deeds, 4:329.) This would have made him twenty-four years old when he emigrated to America with his wife, Ann, who was mentioned in the will of Deacon Thomas Mighill as sister "Ann Tenney" and Faith Parrat, Sen. said will dated 11 June, 1654. Deacon Mighill or Rowley, Mass. brought with him, wife Ellen, who was buried 12 July, 1640, the first person buried there. He married (2) Ann Parrat, sister to Francis Parrat, who brought with him besides his wife, Elizabeth, his sisters, Ann, who married Dea. Thomas Mighill, and Faith, who married John Smith, and (2) William Law (Early Settlers of Rowley).
