Ann Oldage was born circa 1625. She married John Osborn circa 1644.¹ Ann lived in Windsor, Connecticut.

     Begat Eggleston was born circa 1586 in Settingtom, East Riding, England.² Begat immigrated to Dorchester, Massachusetts Colony 1630 . He married Mary Talcott circa 1645.^3,2 He died on 1 September 1674 in Windsor, Hartford County in the Connecticut Colony, which at that time was part of the of the New England Confederation.² One persistent rumor is the claim that Bigod's maternal grandmother was a Bigod, this stemming from Bigod's unusual Christian name. While the family of Bigod had some importance in the 12th and 13th centuries and cadet branches of the Bigods held the manor of Settrington until 2 Jun 1537 when Sir Francies Bigod was put to death for treason, some researchers say no link has been found of any blood relationship between Bigod Eggleston and the Bigod line and there are just as many who say there is a link. In any event, sometime before 1612, Bigod Eggleston arrived at Norwich, Norfolk, England. He married (Mary - surname unknown) and had four children who were born in England. He sailed to America on the ship "Mary and John", which sailed from Plymouth, England on 20 March 1630 just a few days ahead of the Winthrop Fleet of 1630 and arrived 70 days later, on May 30, 1630, at Dorchester, MA. He is listed on the passenger list for the Mary and John and the Winthrop Fleet.

Bigod first settled in Dorchester, MA in 1630 and was an original member of the Reverend Mr. Warham's church and was one of the founders of Windsor, CT in 1635. He brought to the colonies with him three sons, James, John and Samuel. A daughter Mary, another son James, and his first wife, are assumed to have died before Bigod left England and little else is known about them. He married again, Mary (and again, her surname is unknown). Together they had seven children; Thomas, Mercy (Marcy), Sarah, Rebecca (Deborah), Abigail, Joseph and Benjamin.

Bigod was fined 20 shillings in 1645 for "bequeathing his wife to a young man." The young man, a George Tuckye, was fined 40 shillings, but he took off and didn't pay. Why Bigod thought he needed a young man for his wife is certainly questionable as he was 67 years old when he fathered his youngest son. Some researchers say Bigod not only survived his second wife, but married for a third and final time. Once again, her name is unknown and noknown children came of this marriage. Bigod Eggleston had at least 63 grandchildren and 144 great grandchildren.

There's a great deal of speculation as to who Bigod's wives might have been. Mary Talcott is often named as one of them, however little hard information has come to light to support this guess. Who these women were remains one of the mysteries surrounding Bigod's life. Maybe somewhere there's a dusty old document that will one day solve this one for all of us.²

Alice Carpenter was courted by many suitors, among them young William Bradford. This marriage was opposed by her parents, who favored Edward Southworth, one of the seven sons of Sir Thomas Southworth. Obeying their wishes, Alice married Edward Southworth. Following the birth of two sons, Edward died in London, and in 1623 Alice accompanied her brother-in-law and sister to new England aboard the ship Ann. A month later she married Governor Bradford, whose young wife Dorothy May Bradford had died in a drowning accident upon the Mayflower's arrival at Plymouth. As first lady she was loved and regarded highly for her strength of character and her willingness to help those in need. She had a good education for her times, and brought considerable property with her from England. She provided guidance to the youth of the colony and promoted an interest in the literature. She lectured on current topics with grace and charm. The Bradfords enjoyed a happy marriage lasting 34 years. She had two sons from her first marriage Thomas and Constant Southworth, and three children William, Mercy and Joseph were born of her marriage to William Bradford. A descendant of Alice and her first husband Edward Southworth was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
