  • Notes 
    • John Livermore (Lyvermore) came to America in April 1634 at the age of 28. He embarked on the ship, Francis at Ipswich, England. He was admitted as a Freeman on 6 May 1635. His name was spelled as Leathermore on the list. He removed to
      Wethersfield in 1635. He was one of the original settlers of Quinnipiac, New Haven on 4 Jun 1639. He signed the fundamental agreement of the New Haven Colony in 1639.



      On 7 May 1650, John Livermore sold his estate and left New Haven for Watertown. In 1655, he was fined iis (2 shillings) for owning two disorderly hogs.



      John Livermore's will was proved 16 Jun 1684, dividing his estate among his survivors. His wife, Grace, was named executrix of his will.



      John Livermore's grave is in "The Old Burying Place" in Watertown, MA, 75 feet from the entrance behingd the tall monument. John is separated from the rest of the Livermores.
    • (Research):Further research is needed, but it does appear that John Lyvermore was a passenger on the Francis which sailed from Ipswich 30 April 1634 and landed at either Plymouth or Boston, MA. Her Captain was Mr. John Cutting. Ref: Public Records
