Ann Vinton

Caution

In this timeframe in England, there are lots of records online. But likewise there are lots of records not online and lots of records that do not exist. Civil birth, death, marriage records do not yet exist, so only church records (if one belonged) are available and many churches either didn't keep records or they have been lost.

We should not jump to conclusions from just one record. By the 1600's there are multiple families of Vintons in England. John and Anne are common names.

Hence, the two sets of parents listed below may both look like good candidates, but there is no proof and not enough circumstantial evidence to make a case.

Additionally a marriage took place between an Anne Moore and a John Vinton [prisoner] in 1646. This is perfect timing, but the place does not fit. [Marriage record from 1646 is from England, but he was in Massachusettts by then.] At this point there is just no proof.

John Vinton's Birth

We know that John was a skilled iron worker. The iron workers of England were a close knit group and probably spoke both French and English. Estimating from the birth of his first child in 1648 John was probably born say 1610-1628. The earlier date gives him time to become skilled in his craft.

Suggested parents:

• Blase and Eleanor
• Robert Vinton and Jane (Stone). John baptized: 24 Oct, 1619 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England

Migration

John Winthrop Jr. began bringing persons to Massachusetts, for the ironworks, on the An Cleve in 1643. Production began in 1646. John's daughter was born in Massachusetts in 1648.

Name Ann (Unknown) Vinton

Birth In England about 1620- 1646 based on birth of first child1619 England

Marriage John Vinton's wife was called Ann in the birth record of daughter Sara. She was called Elinor in the town records regarding the distribution of their estate. D. L. Jacobus believed that she was erroneously called Elinor in the town records.[1]

They were married by May 1648, when their first child was born in Lynn, Massachusetts.

FreeReg.org.uk: John Vintin, a prisioner, and Anne Moore were married 20 Jul 1646, at St Dunstan, Canterbury, Kent

Printed version: John Vintin, a prisoner, and Anne Moore were married 20 Jul 1646, at St Dunstan, Canterbury, Kent.

[This may not be the same John and Ann Vinton. It seems illogical that a prisoner would be the same skilled ironworker whom John Winthrop recruited to come to Massachuestts to help start the Lynn Ironworks.]
