Facts and Events
Possible Identification of Edward Lummus' Origin
"Charles A. Lummus proposed that this immigrant 'probably was the son of Edward Lomys and Alice Perie, who were married August 2, 1593, in the Parish of St. Mary, Bocking, Essex. Rev. Nathaniel Rogers was curate of this church, but was dismissed because of his scruples against wearing the surplice, and came to New England, where he was ordained pastor of the church at Ipswich, February 20, 1638. Seventeen members of his Bocking church also came to America' [EIHC 53:13]. This suggestion deserves further research."[2]
