Patience Kemp, only child of William Kemp and Elizabeth Partridge (Rev. Ralph,1 Partridge of Duxbury), b. no later than June 1642 at Duxbury, Mass. where she d. Oct. 29, 1676. For further discussion regarding Patience's paternity, see her father's memorial.
Patience's father William died intestate between Nov. 2, 1640, when he helped arbitrate an agreement between two parties [PC Court Orders, 1:164], and Sept. 23, 1641 when his extensive estate inventory was made at Duxbury, Mass. [MD 5:387]. Under normal circumstances Patience's birth could not have occurred later than late-June 1642. Unfortunately, Patience has no known gravestone that can offer the approximate date of her birth.
On Nov. 9, 1660 at Weymouth, Mass.,[*1] Patience m. as his 1st wife, Samuel Seabury, s. of John and Grace Seabury, b. Dec. 10, 1640 of record at Boston, Mass. He d. Aug. 5, 1681 at Duxbury, Mass. Their children are outlined in their father's memorial.
At their marriage, Samuel was less than one month shy of his 20th birthday. In this era, a wife was typically but not always younger than the husband, sometimes being many years the younger spouse. Coupled with the date of not later than June 1642, Samuel's age provides a clue as to the range of when Patience was born. For practical purposes only, the writer has ascribed 1642 as a probable year of her birth.
[*1] The Duxbury Town Record has the marriage occurring on Nov. 16, 1660, with asterisk indicating no corresponding intent to marry was of record at Duxbury. However, in 1660 New England all marriages were by a civil magistrate and the requirement to publish an intent to marry was not part of the marriage requirement. On the other hand, the early Weymouth Town marriage records, copied from the Suffolk County Registrar's Office in 1852 by the then Weymouth Town Clerk, has the marriage occurring one week earlier on Nov. 9, 1660. In 1660 Patience's step-father, Rev. Thomas Thacher, was pastor of the Weymouth Church where Patience had been raised from early childhood. Thus, it is more likely that Patience married per the Weymouth record vs. the Duxbury record.
