  • Notes 
    • This name is sometimes spelled Bootfish in early Colonial records. Robert Bodfish was a freeman at Lynn, Massachusetts, 6 May 1635, and two years later removed to Sandwich, where, or at Barnstable he died about 1651.[1]

      His wife was named Bridget, and their older children may have been born in England or at Lynn. After his death, Bridget married, as his second wife, Samuel Hinckley, father of Governor Thomas Hinckley. Samuel Hinckley was born in Kent, England, and came to America in the Hercules about 1634, settling at Scituate, but in 1639 removed to Barnstable, perhaps after a short sojourn in Sandwich. [2] His wife Sarah died 18 August 1656, and be married (2) "about y' ' 15 Decemb' 1657", "with Bridget Bodfish Vid." [3] "He was a man prominent in public affairs as shown by the town records." [4] He died and was "buried end of October 1662."
