John Lathrop or Lothrop was baptized December 20, 1584 in St. Marys Church,
Etton, Yorkshire, England. He was a student at Queens College, Cambridge and
graduated there in 1609 with a Master of Arts degree. First ordained a Deacon by
the Bishop of Lincoln, he became Curate of Bennington, Hertfordshire in 1607 and
Curate of Parish Church at Egerton, Kent, England about 1611.
In 1623 he leaves Egerton and renounces his church orders, siding with the
independents. He was called to succeed Rev. Henry Jacob as Pastor of the First
Independent Church in Southwark, London in 1624. But trouble with the larger
church awaited him, for in 1632 Bishop Laud's warrant officer invades the home
where Rev. Lothrop and about 50 of his flock were secretly worshiping. He was
taken to Clink Prison, Newgate, London, on April 22, 1632. He visited his dying
wife, Hannah, briefly in 1633. Early in 1634 all but Lothrop were released on
bail; he, the leader of the Independent group, was deemed too dangerous to be
set at liberty. On April 24, 1634, his petition for liberty to go into foreign
exile was granted. He arrived in America aboard the Griffin. On January 19, 1634
he was chosen Pastor in Scituate, Massachusetts.
He remarried sometime prior to June 14, 1635 as on that date his wife Anna was
admitted to the church at Scituate. For his consenting to be the minister, he
was granted a farm in Scituate.
On January 1, 1638 certain freemen of Scituate, including John Lathrop,
complained to the Court that they were allotted such small portions of land that
they could not subsist on them. The Court of Assistants granted them up-land and
a neck of land lying between the North and South Rivers, provided upon the
condition that they make a township there and inhabit the said land. This became
the town of Barnstable. He was granted a four acre lot in this town upon which
he built a small house. A larger house was built in 1644. On March 7, 1654 Mrs.
Lathrop was granted letter of administration on the estate of Mr. John Lathrop,
deceased.
John Lathrop's son Joseph is a great, great grandfather to
Solomon Lewis, and John Lathrop's son Thomas is a
great, great, great grandfather to the same Solomon Lewis born 1750 in
Barnstable, MA.
