  • Notes 
    • According to "The William Barstow Family" by Arthur Radasch, 1966:

      "William Barstow and his brother George came to America on the ship Truelove, which sailed from England Sept. 2, 1635. Their names were written "Beeresto" on the ship's list of passengers. William's age was given as 23, and George's age as 21, which makes 1612 the year of William's birth. Michael Barstow, an older brother, and John Barstow, aged 10 in 1635, came to America about the same year, as Michael was in Charlestown Mass. in 1635. Two sisters, Elizabeth and Susan, also came to America. Elizabeth married William Randall in Scituate, Mass, in 1640, and Susan married William Perry of Marshfield.

      The relationship of the 4 brothers is obtained from Michael's will and other records. ...

      William was in Dedham, Mass. in 1636, where he was one of the original landowners. He was selectman there in 1636 and in 1642. He signed the petition for incorporation of the town, which at the time was known by the name of Contentment. ...

      William removed to Scituate about 1644 or 1645, and was made a freeman there in 1649. He was one of the first settlers in taht part of town later known as Hanover....

      By occupation, William was a shipwright. He started his shipbuilding business in Hanover in a yard on the North River that he established about 1660. Shipbuilding was continued by his descendants in Hanover and in other towns in Massachusetts and in Maine."
