Biography

Note: this person's LNAB was not 'Newcomb'. Her LNAB is unknown. She was apparently the widow of a Mr. Newcomb upon her marriage to John Kingman. Reference: Mayflower Families Through Five Generations Volume 15 pp 74-75.

Bethia Newcombe married John Kingman in Bridgewater in 1698 following the death of his first wife.[1][2][3]

John Newcomb migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Find A Grave site says he "came to the American colonies as a baby aboard the Planter." It gives July 3 1634 as his birthdate, while WikiTree gives August 5 1634, perhaps a baptism date?

Ruth Newcomb

Are sister and brother.

John2 Newcomb (Francis1) married Ruth Marshall sister of John1 Marshall of Boston and Braintree. She was also "aunt" to John2 Marshall (John1) of Braintree.

From a recent article in The American Genealogist 61:111:

https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/american-genealogist-the/image?volumeId=12790&pageName=111&rId=144275796

"That leaves us with the probability that Ruth (___) Newcom [wife of John2 Newcomb] was a sister or sister-in-law of John1 Marshall. Since no brother of John1 Marshall is known whose widow could have been John2 Mashall's "aunt nucum" and since practically all other possibilities have been ruled out or shown to be highly improbable, we conclude that this early Scottish immigrant to Boston had a hitherto unknown sister Ruth, the first wife of John2 Newcomb of Braintree."

Note it was John Marshall's son John who called Ruth (Marshall) Newcomb his aunt in his diary per the article above.

Newcomb History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Newcomb is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It was a name given to a new person in town; a person who had just arrived to live in the area. The name Newcomb is derived from the Old English elements niwe, which means new, and cumen, which means come. The name is therefore transliterated as "newly come." Nickname surnames were frequently the result of a spontaneous reaction to a particular occasion or event.

Early Origins of the Newcomb Family

The surname Newcomb was first found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Newcomb Spelling Variations

Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Newcomb were recorded, including Newcombe, Newcom, Newcomb, Newcome, Newcomen and others.

Francis Newcomb, who landed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1635
