Notes |
- Unlike many families of English origin all Hemenways and Hemingways in this country have a common ancestor in Ralph of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
He was admitted freeman 3 September 1634 "as Ralfe Hiningway". [MBCR 1:369]
In the Roxbury land inventory of about 1652, "Ralph Hemmingway" held eight parcels of land, all of which were granted by the town: two and a half acres with house, barn and garden; three and a half acres in Black Neck; one acre in the Calve's Pasture; one acre and a half of salt marsh; eight acres of land; two acres of fresh meadow; twenty four and a half acres "exchanged with John Roberts for so much of his lot lying in the Second Allotment in the Last Division being the second lot there"; and sixteen acres in the Thousand Acres near Dedham [RBOP 28].
