1. RALPH(1)GORHAM
Notes
for RALPH GORHAM:
COMMENTS:
On 5 March 1638/9 Ralph Gorham the elder was presented for
beating Webb Adey [PCR 1:118].
Webb
Adey is probably the best-recorded antisocial pauper in Plymouth
Colony. Although he seems to have done his best at all times
to live by his own rules and not those of the Colony, he did
receive grants of land, and at his death had not one house
but two.
In some
records his names are reversed, and he appears as Addy Webb;
this version of his name is seen only at his first appearance,
in the tax lists, and in his death record. At all other times
he is Webb Adey, and that is the sequence used here. (Savage
enters him under the surname "Webb," and in another place
misrepresents him as "William Adey.")
