Cicely Clark
F, b. circa 1619, d. after 9 April 1691
Cicely was born circa 1619 in Northamptonshire, England. On 6 April 1635, Cicely left London aboard the ship, "Planter", under the command of Captain Nicholas Trerice, enroute for New England. Before being permited to board, Cicely had to present his certificate from the minister of St. Albans in Herefordshire and attestations from the justices of peace according to the Lords order. Listed among the passengers on board the ship were William Tuttell, aged 26 years, Elizabeth Tuttell, aged 23 years, John Tuttell aged 3 1/2 years, Elizabeth Swayne aged 20 years, Margaret Leach aged 15 years, Ann Tuttell aged 2 1/4 years, Thomas Tuttell aged 3 months & Sycillie Clark, aged 16 years. They arrived at Boston the 7th of June. By 1639, they had moved to New Haven..1 Cicely married Thomas Hunt I circa 1640 in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut.2 Cicely died after 9 April 1691 in Rye, Westchester County, New York, as she signed a deed on this date.
Additional Notes: Cicely's maiden name has been thought of as being Pasely, but recently there has been evidence brought to light that indicates a strong possiblity that her maiden name was Clark and that she came to Boston with the William Tuttle family of Ringstead, England in the ship "Planter", in 1635 at the age of 16 years. She moved with the family to New Haven in 1639. Research has produced no evidence of a Cicely Pasely or any other name variations. It has been noted that Thomas came to this country as an indentured servant, and Cicely also as a servant. The people that Thomas and Cicely worked for were both in New Haven by 1639. It seems likely that either the families that they lived with introduced them to one another or as servants, it is just as likely they met in their own circle. Although there is no definitive proof that Cicely was a Clark, there is no proof that she was a Pasely. Circumstantial evidence makes the Hunt Clark marriage a most likely scenario. It is a known fact that Thomas married a Cicely. More research on this marriage is needed.
