Hallett, a son of Richard Hallett, was born about 1616 in
Bridgeport, Dorchester, England and died August 17, 1729

Fones, was born

She married to
Henry Winthrop April 25, 1629 in England, and one year
later Henry set
out for America aboard the "Talbot". The pregnant Elizabeth was to
follow later with her step-mother-in-law, the governor's
third wife (who
was also pregnant at the time). On July 2, 1630, the very
day of his
arrival in the New World at Salem, MS, Henry went for a
swim at a nearby
Indian village. While making for a boat across the bay he
suffered a
severe cramp and drowned in full sight of his friends.
Elizabeth gave birth on May 9, 1630 to a daughter named
Martha Johanna.
On November 2,
1631, she arrived in Massachusetts aboard the Lyon with
her daughter and without a husband.
The situation
did not last for long. Within three months of her
landfall she had met and married Robert Feake
(c.1602-c.1662), a
landowner of some means who had arrived with the Winthrop
fleet the
prior year. Their union produced five children, including
Hannah Feake,
who married John Bowne.
Robert Feake
subsequently went insane as a result of personal,
domestic, and financial troubles. Elizabeth left him for
his business
manager, William Hallett. They were eventually recognized
as husband and
wife and settled in the New Netherlands colony in what
became Halletts
Cove, Long Island. Elizabeth (Fones) [Winthrop] {Feake}
Hallett died
about 1656 and William Hallett married Susannah Thorne in
April 1674.
