Narrative

from Ipswich Eng. drew lots for houses, one of first settlers of Hingham, 1635,surname Marisco changed in America. It has not been confirmed that George was from Hingham, Norfolk, England although he did arrive at Hingham, MA with Rev. Peter Hobart and his congregation who did, in fact, emigrate from Hingham, Norfolk, England. Several families supposedly traveled from other areas to join the Hobart group in sailing to Massachusetts Bay. Also, the Hobart group was at Charlestown briefly before moving on to "Bear Cove" (Hingham) and George may have come over earlier, joining them there. In addition, a pamphlet titled "The Heyday of Their Strength" by M.E. Lonsdale is said to list the members of the Hobart Congregation at Norfolk without a George Marsh among them. Many questions remain, then. The one thing we CAN be sure of is that George Marsh/Marshe arrived at Hingham, MA in 1635 with his family..but, George Marsh and Elizabeth Key immigrated 1635. Their children Onisiphorus, Mary, Thomas and Elizabeth travelled with them. George Marsh lived in Hingham, Massachusetts Bay Colony, now Plymouth County, before 18 September 1635. He was among the group who drew their house lots from the Cove on the north side of the road to Fort Hill on this date. He became a freeman on 3 March 1635/36 in Hingham, Massachusetts Bay Colony, now Plymouth County. He left a will on 2 July 1647.
