• Notes

  Rev. John Lothropp (1584–1653) — sometimes spelled Lothrop or Lathrop — was an English Anglican clergyman, who became a Congregationalist minister and emigrant to New England. He was among the first settlers of Barnstable, Massachusetts. Perhaps Lothropp's principal claim to fame is that he was a strong proponent of the idea of the Separation of Church and State (also called "Freedom of Religion"). This idea was considered heretical in England during his time, but eventually became the mainstream view of people in the United States of America, because of the efforts of John Lothropp and others. Lothropp left an indelible mark on the culture of New England, and through that, upon the rest of the country. He has had many notable descendents, including at least 6 US presidents, as well as many other prominent Governors, and government, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and business people. —— Lothropp married Hannah House in England, on 10 October 1610. They had eight children: 1. Thomas Lothropp, baptised 21 February 1612 in Eastwell, Kent, England, by his grandfather Rev. John Howse, parson there. Record from Bishop's Transcript records at Canterbury. 2. Jane Lothropp, born 29 September 1614 in Egerton, Kent, England; married Mayflower passenger Samuel Fuller (1608–1683), s/o  Mayflower passenger Edward Fuller (1575-1621). 3.

Benjamin Lothropp, born December 1626 in Eastwell, Kent, England After Hannah's death, Lothropp married again, to Ann Hammond (?) in 1635. They had five children: 9.
