Another possibility is Ipswich, Essex, England, where the Hovey's were from, but Norwich, England is the favored location.

The children of Daniel and Abigail Hovey were born in Ipswich as follows:

I. Daniel, born in 1642 and died May 29, 1695 at the age of 53. He was a husbandman (a farmer who cultivated the land) and always lived in Ipswich. He served in many public offices. He constructed a house which stood on the south side of the river until July 17, 1894 when it burned to the ground. His first wife, Rebecca died on the day her son Daniel was born, May 24, 1665. He married Esther Treadwell, daughter of Thomas Treadwell, on Oct. 8, 1666. Besides his son by his first wife, Daniel and his second wife had 3 sons and 2 daughters.

II. John, born in 1644. He was a yeoman (a farmer who owned his own land) and attained the rank of sergeant in the militia. He was prominent in town affairs and held several offices. During his lifetime he acquired considerable wealth and was the sixth richest man in Ipswich, as measured by the tax rolls. John married Dorcas Ivory on Aug. 13, 1665. She died Nov. 5, 1711. He later married Mercy, widow of Dea. Joseph Goodhue of Ipswich (published in Ipswich, Nov. 30, 1712). Mrs. Goodhue was daughter of John and Ellinor (Pell) Boynton of Rowley, where she was born Oct. 5, 1651. She was previously married to a Josiah Clarke of Ipswich on Dec. 14, 1670. Following Mr. Clark's death, she married Deacon Goodhue July 14, 1670. He died in Ipswich Sept. 2, 1697. John Hovey died March 29, 1718 at the age of 74. Mercy survived him and died in Rowley Dec. 22, 1730 at age 79. They had 2 sons and 4 daughters.

III. Thomas, born in Ipswich in 1648. He moved to Hadley as early as 1672 and was a yeoman and a prominent man in the town. He served as representative to the general court in 1699 and 1703 and was a lieutenant in the militia. He married Sarah, daughter of Capt. Aaron and Sarah (Westerwood) Cook in November 1677. She was born in Hadley Jan. 31, 1662. He died March 4, 1739 at the age of 91. They had 2 sons and 11 daughters. Three daughters were triplets who died soon after birth.

IV. James, born in Ipswich in 1650. He was one of the first settlers of Quabog, in Hampshire county, Mass. In 1668. He married Priscilla, daughter of John Dane of Ipswich in 1670. James was one of the signers of the petition to the general court dated Oct. 10, 1673, praying for the incorporation of the settlement, and that it might receive name of Brookfield. The request was granted. James was killed by the Indians when a large number of his townsmen were massacred on Aug. 2, 1675. Priscilla survived him. They had one daughter and two sons.

V. Joseph, born in 1653.

VI. Abigail, married John Ayers before 1692. Nothing more is recorded in the Hovey Book. Other records indicate that her birth date was about 1655.

VII. Nathaniel, born March 20, 1657. He lived in Ipswich and married Sarah Fuller in November of 1679. He died March 24, 1692 at the age of 35. His wife, Sarah, married Christopher Bidlacke of Ipswich before Aug. 15, 1694. Mr. Bidlacke's first wife, Anna, died Dec. 13, 1692. Sarah and her second husband had one daughter. Nathaniel and Sarah had 4 daughters and one son.

VIII. Priscilla Hovey, born about 1659. Her name and birth is not indicated in the Hovey Book, but has surfaced from subsequent research.

1. (Although this is the claim made in The Hovey Book of 1914, this is not quite true. In an electronic mail from a Lonnie James Hovey, received by the compiler on Mar. 27, 1998, he relates that he is the first progeny of the sixth generation of the Hoveys in a family line that originated from one Frederick William Hovey who was born in Sept. 1821 in Prussia and emigrated to the U.S. to Northwestern Ohio by the 1860's. No one has been successful in finding where in Prussia Frederick originated but the spelling was firm. They, however, pronounce the name "Ho-vee" instead of "Hu-vee.")
