Andrew Foord was an early settler of Weymouth, Mass., where he was made freeman in 1654; he was also made freeman in Duxbury, Mass., that same year. He m. about 1649, Eleanor Lovell (dau. of Robert and Elizabeth Lovell), b. 1634; d. March 4, 1692, Hingham, Mass. Robert Lovell and his wife sailed from England, March 20, 1635-6, their dau. being called Ellyn on the, passenger list; she m. Andrew Foord under the name of Elleans, her name being given as Eleanor on the records of deeds in Plymouth, Mass. In 1651 the will of Robert Lovell was probated; in it he mentions his son-in-law Andrew Foord, and Andrew’s eldest son and youngest child, thus indicating that Andrew had at least two children at that time, and possibly three. Of the thirteen children of Andrew Foord, the births of three are not recorded on the Weymouth Vital Statistics, namely, Andrew, Mary and James, and it is possible to suppose that they were born previous to or near the year 1651. From the Town Records of Weymouth, we learn that Andrew Foord was one of the original purchasers of the Town and held large tracts of land, comprising 7 acres in the East Field, Lot No. 65 in the 2nd Division containing 18 acres, a large lot of land in the Great Cedar Swamp, a lot in the little Cedar Swamp, and 5 or 6 acres of common land. In the Plymouth Colony and Plymouth County Deed Books are found records of other large tracts of land belonging to Andrew Foord. Oct. 28, 1668, he with Lieft. John Hoibrook and James Lovell purchased of Constant Southworth and Cornett Robert Stetson,* both of Duxbury, consideration £3, a piece of land running two miles in length and three-quarters of a mile in breadth, being in the Plymouth Patent, near the line between the two jurisdictions of Massachusetts and Plymouth, and containing about 1,000 acres. Part of this land was sold by the owners in one-eighth part lots, each containing 125 acres, or given by Andrew Foord to some of his sons. A portion of it embraced the tract that was called in the Plymouth Colony records “Ffords farm,” and was afterwards incorporated into the town of Abington. Andrew Foord was also associated in other real estate transactions, and was a prominent man in the community. He removed late in life to Hingham, Mass., where he d. March ,1693. His will was dated Feb. 5, 1692-3, and was probated in March of the same year in Boston, Mass. The inventory of his estate was dated March 23, 1692-3, and mentions the tracts of lands he owned in Plymouth, also a right of land in Quinne Poge.

Therefore she was born near 1629. “Andrew Ford, Sen’, late of the Town of Weymouth, now resident in Hingham, in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, being under infirmities of age,” made his will as follows: Unto his son Israel Ford his dwelling house and about twenty acres thereunto belonging.

He was a member of Rev. Joseph Hull's Company, and with the company removed to Weymouth that year. He was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 2 Sep. 1635. he died at Weymouth shortly before 25 June, 1672.

Robert Lovell (4) was a member of the company of Rev. Joseph Hull at Weymouth Eng. 28 Mar 1635. They came to Wessaguscs, New England during the following Summer. They renamed it Weymouth in kindly remembrance of the port from which they sailed. He is termed a Husbandman and his age set down at 40 years. He brought with him his servant named Joseph Chicken, aged 16 years. His will was dated the 3 (2) 1652, probated 25 Jun 1672. His will names John and James and Andrew Ford, husband of Ellen. His property extended from the Tide Mill to King Oak Hill in scattered lots, and probably covered the place on the East side of the latter hill which was in aftertimes the homestead of Cpt. Enoch Lovell, the grandfather of Gen. Soloman. - Family Records and Pioneers of Massachusetts
Chapter XV THE COMING OF THE HULL COMPANY. During the summer of 1634, according to a record in the Town Records of Dorchester, "there went out to New England 20 ships, with 2000 planters." (See the Western Antiquary, Vol.6, p.88.) In 1635 Weymouth was numbered among the towns of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Gorges' claim had now become of no weight, and the Gorges party had transferred this interest to the Province of Maine. Weymouth began to take a prominent part in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In 1635 there came a large addition to the population of Weymouth. This was the Hull Company, already mentioned and a statement made where their names can be found, but it seems best that the list should be given. They came from Weymouth in England, but some of them were from other towns in Dorset and in counties near by.
We now find that the influence of Boston is felt as the center of the Bay State Colony, for permission had to be given to Hull and his company to settle in Wessagusset. Thus on July 8, 1635, the General Court of Boston passed an order giving permission to the Rev. Joseph Hull, with twenty-one families numbering about one hundred persons, to settle at Wessagusset.
The people of this company became prominent in the affairs of Weymouth, and some of their descendants hold that position to-day. In 1870 Mr. H. G. Somerby, who had been making investigations in England, discovered a list of the Hull passengers and sent it to Mr. William L. Appleton of Boston, with the following letter:
LONDON, September, 1870.
My DEAR MR. APPLETON: - Amongst a bundle of miscellaneous manuscripts just turned up in the Public Record Officer I find with other documents relating to New England, the following list of passengers which I have the pleasure of sending to you for publication in the Register.
I remain, yours very truly, H. G. SOMERBY.
Mr. Appleton gave the list to the Register and it was published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XXV, pages 13, 14 and 15, January, 1871. -
