- From Findagrave:
Baptized Symondsbury, Dorsetshire, 19 May 1607, son of Andrew and Beatrice (Knote) Hallett.
Planter & husbandman from Symondsbury, Dorsetshire, who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Marygould." (On 20 March 163[4/]5, "Andrewe Hallett," aged 28, servant of Richard Wade, was enrolled at Weymouth, Dorsetshire, as a passenger for New England on the Marygould).
First settled in Dorchester (as servant of RICHARD WADE 1635, Dorchester); moved to Sandwich in 1639, & Yarmouth in 1642. Died between 14 March 1681/2 (date of will) and 19 May 1684 (date of inventory).
MARRIAGES:
(1) By about 1642_____ _____.
(2) By 1663 Ann Bessey, daughter of ANTHONY BESSEY 1635, Lynn
Both Savage and Pope have jumbled together records for Andrew Hallett Sr. and Andrew Hallett Jr. [Savage 2:340; Pope 209]. In sorting out these two men, we need to answer two questions: Which of these two men, if either, was the immigrant of 1635? Was the elder the father of the younger?
The age and parish of origin of the Andrew Hallett who appears on the 1635 passenger list mesh exactly with the baptism of an Andrew Hallett at Symondsbury, Dorsetshire, on 19 May 1607. We conclude that this is the immigrant, and make this the starting point for our analysis.
One of the men named Andrew Hallett appeared first in Yarmouth as early as 5 March 1638/9, and was always referred to as "Mr." or "Gentleman." The other Andrew Hallett appeared briefly at Sandwich, before moving on to Yarmouth. On 1 March 1643/4, by which time both men were residing in Yarmouth, a letter was sent to the General Court by "Mr. Andrew Hellot, Senior, of Yarmouth." The man with the designations of respect was, therefore, "Senior," and the man who appeared first at Sandwich was "Junior."
All in all, there is no direct evidence that the two men were father and son, and some slight indication that they were not, but the relationship is still possible. Further research in English records will be required to resolve this issue.
