Notes:

There is also a John Mayo in Roxbury who lived in Leiden.

John2 Mayo (John1) was born on April 2, 1597 in Farthinghoe Parish, Northamptonshire,
England.2 He was baptized on October 10, 1597 in Farthinghoe Parish, Northamptonshire,
England.1 He married Tamisen Brike on March 21, 1618 in Leiden, Holland; marriage of Jan
Meyer, a baize worker [works with coarse woolen used to make curtains, tablecloths, linings
etc.] from England, and Timmosijn Breyck, also from England in the Reformed Church. The
witnesses were Timmosijn's mother Susanna Breyck, and her sister, Marytgen Duijck. Jan was
accompanied by Thomas Smith [Jan Meyer in Dutch is John Mayo in English; Timmosijn
Breyck is Tamisen Brike.].3 He died in May, 1676 in Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Plymouth

Rev. John Mayo, Tamsen and the five children were in Barnstable, Massachusetts in 1639 to
welcome the last of the Scituate settlers as they arrived in America. Mr. John Mayo, Samuel
Mayo and Nathaniel Bacon are on the 1640 list of first settlers of Barnstable, Plymouth Colony.
[NEH & GR 2: 64]
The Mayo's remained in Barnstable until he moved to Nausett (Eastham), Plymouth Colony, staying there from 1646 to 1654. He was the first pastor of the church there. The original site is
located on Highway #6A by the Cove Burying Ground marker of the Congregational Church. A deed by John Morton of Eastham dated May 12, 1655 sells land that partially includes an area
just beyond the dwelling house of John Mayo Junior, all of which Morton bought earlier from Mr. John Mayo Senior. (The Mayflower Descendant 9:233, Plymouth Colony Deeds p. 155)
By November 9, 1655, Rev. John Mayo's family moved to Boston where he became the first pastor of the "old North Meeting House" on Salem Street, which was the second church in Boston.

John Mayo (1597-1676) by Lynn Scott
John Mayo was born 1597 in Northamptonshire, England. (1)
At 17 he attended Magdalen Hall, Oxford University, but left without taking a degree, probably to escape taking the oath of
conformity, which was required to graduate. (2)
"In his early 20's he was in Leiden, Holland and married there: Jan Meyer [John Mayo] of England, baize-worker, accompanied by Thomas Smeth [Smith], his acquaintance, was betrothed March 21, 1618 to Timmosijn Breyck [Tamisen
Brike] of England, accompanied by Susanna Breyck [Brike], her mother, and Marytgen Duijck [Mary] her sister.
A baize-worker works with wool fabric and many Puritans in Leiden had this occupation because of the demand." (3)
John apparently went back to England and lived in North Newington, Oxfordshire, which is fairly close to Thorpe Mandeville where he was raised. (4) Throughout the 1630's there was much trouble in England. King Charles I was severely persecuting any person or group that strayed from the Church of England. Never the less, there was much dissent and there was unrest in Parliament. In 1637, and edict forbade anyone from traveling abroad without a license and plague was prevalent in 1638. Around this time, John Mayo decided to leave England and go to America. In spite of restrictions, twenty ships carrying around 3000 passengers left England for Massachusetts Bay that year. (5) John and his family arrived in Cape Cod, Plymouth Colony in the spring of 1638 or 1639. John first settled in Barnstable along with 20 other families where he became a teacher in the church and an assistant of Rev. John Lathrop. (6)
He appeared on a list of inhabitants of Barnstable in 1643 and in 1649 contributed fourteen rods of fence at Stony Cove. He and his sons Samuel and Nathaniel were listed in 1643 as being able to bear arms and saw active service in Lieut. Thomas
Dymake's Co. In 1646 he removed to Nausett (Eastham) and was pastor of the church there until 1655. (7)
At that time the meeting house was but twenty feet square with a thatched roof. In 1655 he accepted a call to Boston as the first pastor of Old North Church. (8)
While living in Boston, he owned a house and lot on Middle (now Hanover) Street 38 x 180 feet, selling it for
200 pounds in 1675 to Abraham Bording. (9) The close of the pastorate of John Mayo of the North Church in 1673 is marked in records by Increase Mather:
"In the beginning of which year Mr. Mayo, the pastor, likewise grew very infirm in as much as the congregation was not able to hear and be edified. On the 15th day of the 3rd month,
1673, Mr. Mayo removed his person and goods also from Boston to reside with his daughter in Barnstable where since he hath lived a private life."
John died in Yarmouth, Massachusetts 3 May 1676. (10) Thomasine died 1683.

There is no record of John Mayos parents. Please do not add anyone to this record Added by William Stead

"This is a copy of the will of John Mayo of Thorpe-Mandeville,, Northamptonshire, England, that was written by him in January 1629/1630, shortly before his death. It was common practice in those times to wait to prepare the will when the person was on his death bed. In cases of sudden death, wills were not left at all. This John Mayo, who died and is buried in the church yard at Thorpe-Mandeville . . . was believed to be the father of our immigrant ancestor, Rev. John Mayo. . . .This John Mayo of Thorpe-Mandeville, believed to be the father of our immigrant ancestor Rev. John Mayo, was married to Katherine Mayo. She was buried next to her husband in 1633. Their children were:
1.) John Mayo (our ancestor): baptized on Oct. 16, 1597 in Farthinghoe Parish, Northamptonshire, England. [Also Philip (female), Anne, Elizabeth, Joyce and Gilbert]. . . .
Towns connected to them were Thorpe-Mandeville, Farthinghoe Parish, and Slapton. Both John and Katherine Mayo are buried at Thorpe-Mandeville. Thorpe-Mandeville is only 4 miles away from Farthinghoe Parish, where most of their children were baptized. Middleton-Cheney, where Rev. John Mayo was originally thought to be born, is only 3 or 4 miles away from these towns. I had Nancy Long, the town historican of Middleton Cheney, check the town records personally, and she found that a researcher had made an error, and that Rev. John Mayo was actually born in Farthinghoe Parish and not in Middleton-Cheney, as previously thought. The researcher had Rev. John Mayo as being baptized in Middleton-Cheney on April 2, 1598. However, Nancy Long found that Crescent Mayo, son of Peter Mayo, was actually baptized on that date and not 'our' John Mayo. She discovered his baptism record in Farthinghoe Parish instead. According to Chauncy's Last Living, Rev. John Mayo's father was from Thorpe-Mandeville and was buried there. Rev. Charles Chauncy was a vicar in nearby Marston St. Lawrence before coming to America and he was friends with Rev. Mayo's father. It was quite easy to locate the death record and will of Rev. Mayo's father there and also the burial record of his mother, Katherine Mayo. The baptism records of Rev. John Mayo and his siblings were located in a nearby town of Farthinghoe Parish. The will of John Mayo of Thorpe-Mandeville was quite helpful with that task. That is where we stand so far on the English research of Rev. John Mayo and his origins." [
"Believed to be the will of the father of Rev. John Mayo . . .
'I John Mayo of Thorpe of Mandeville in the County of Northampton do make my last will and testament bequeathing my soul unto God and my body to be buried in the churchyard at Thorpe [Mandeville] And for my temporal goods I do bequeath as follows I make the executors Katherine Mayo my beloved wife and Elizabeth Mayo my daughter and further my will is that my two executors shall divide my goods equally between them and also shall equally be enforced to pay my debts for the rent of the house and close and also those legacies hereafter named. To my son Mr John Mayo I by legacy bequest a coffer [box] of ash [ie. ashwood] standing over the kitchen. Item to my son in law) Thomas Gilbert of Slapton I give all those tools which he have now with him in his keeping. Item I give to my daughter Anne Gervice one pewter platter as my exectrix shall please to give. In witness hereafter I have subscribed my hand the eighteenth of January 1629 [ie. 1630]. Item I make my overseer Daniel Gervice my son in law. Singed John Mayo Witnesses William Gardener

(I have modernised the spellings but I have not altered the meaning or intention; items in square brackets are my own additions. I have looked at the burial register and the entry for John Mayo is very faded. The name can only just be read, the date of his burial is illegible." [749]--Source:
