Notes

Of Lynn by 1638, grandfather of Tabitha (Ivory) Rand. Savage: “IVORY, THOMAS, Lynn 1638, by w. Ann had Thomas; Lois, wh. m. 10 May 1656, John Burrill, and was mo. of Speaker Burrill, the beloved; Ruth, wh. m. Theophilus Bailey; and Sarah, wh. m. Feb. 1661, Moses Chadwell; d. 1664. His wid. m. William Croft” (source). A William Ivory of Lynn, carpenter, who came in the Truelove in 1635 aged 28, was perhaps his brother.

Through his daughter Lois (born 1640, died 1720) he is the ancestor of a family of Massachusetts public men: her son John Burrill (1657-1721) was Speaker of the House, her son Ebenezer a Councillor, and her great-grandson Timothy Pickering Secretary of State (source).
