• Notes

  d/o Hugh Atkins/o Kendall, Westmoreland, England —— In the early days of the Colony all marriages were solemnized by magistrates, the clergy having no part in the ceremony. In 1641 Governor Bellingham, as magistrate, married himself to Penelope Pelham, and when called on to come down from the bench and plead to a complaint against him for the act, refused to do so. Joseph Hills was a magistrate “for the trial of small causes,” and followed the Governor’s example in his marriage of January 1656, but, unlike the Governor, did not escape public censure…. He was admonished by the Court. Genealogical Data Relating to the and Descendants of William Hills, the English Emigrant; pp71-71
