Dave, in reference to your John ROCKWELL and his wife Sarah ENSIGN,
we do have a match.  Your John's father was brother to my John
ROCKWELL (1588-1662(?)).  The following is an excerpt from "The 'Mary
and John'", by Maude P. Kuhns, 1971:

"William ROCKWELL was baptizd at Fitzhead, Somerset, Feb. 6, 1591.
He was the sone of John and Honor (NEWTON) ROCKWELL who married at
Fitzhead July 19,1585.  Besides William they had three other sons,
Richard, John and Roger; and one daughter, Joane.  John ROCKWELL,
senior, died 1636.

        John ROCKWELL brother of William, born 1588, married 1619
Wilmet, daughter fo Christopher CADE, and was the father of John
ROCKWELL, 3rd, 1610-1676, who married Elizabeth, the daughter of
Jonas WEED.  (This is my line)

        William ROCKWELL married Apr. 14, 1624, Susannah CAPEN, at
Dorchester, Eng., born 1602, the daughter of Bernard CAPEN, 1562-1638.
He came to New England on the 'Mary and John,' with his wife Susannah
and their children, Joanna and John.  He died in 1640, and in 1645
Susannah married Mathew GRANT.  She died Nov. 14, 1666.

        As one of the Deacons of the Dorchester Church, William ROCKWELL
signed the land grants and the town records, together with William
GAYLORD, Rev. MAVERICK and Rev. WARHAM.  He was a freeman in the first
group, application Oct. 19, 1630.  He stayed in Dorchester until 1636,
and received a land grant in Windsor in 1637.
        Children:
        1. Joanna, b. Apr 25, 1625, m. Nov. 15, 1642 Jeffery BAKER, who
        died Jul. 7, 1655
        2. John, July 18, 1627 - Sept 13,1673; m. May 6, 1651 (1) Sarah
        ENSIGN, d. 1659, dau. of James ENSIGN; 2) Aug. 18, 1662,
        Deliverance, b. 1640, dau. of Richard HAYES.  Deliverance, M. 2)
        Robert WARRENER.
        3. Mary, probably died young.
        4.Samuel, Mar. 28, 1631-1711; m. Apr. 7, 1660, Mary NORTON, dau.
        of Thomas NORTON"

There may have been other children, but my pages were copied from the
above reference and I didn't copy the next page, which could have been a
continuation.

genealogy                      -------------------------------
An error has been found in several printed genealogies, including the 
History of Kings County, Novia Scotia, by Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton. 
Eaton's book lists Daniel as the son of Jonathan and Margaret Rockwell. 
Jonathan is the son of Joseph and Hannah (Huntington) Rockwell of Windsor 
CT.
In the townland record books of Cornwallis, Kings County, Nova Scotia the 
parents of Daniel Rockwell are recorded as Daniel Rockwell and Tabitha 
Hartshorne Rockwell of Norwich, CT. Daniel married Anne Reynolds, the 
daughter of Benjamin and Ruth Reynolds. Marriage took place 17 Sept. 1769 
in Cornwalis, according to townland records.
According to vital statistics in Norwich, CT. records, parents of Daniel 
(married to Tabitha Hartshorne) in Norwich are Josiah and Ann Bliss 
Rockwell. Josiah's parents are Josiah Rockwell and possibly Hannah 
__________ (she appears in a Norwich land record with Josiah).
Parents have not been found of theis earliest Josiah Rockwell, who died at 
the hands of Indians in Norwich in 1675. 
I am seeking information on this earliest Josiah, his wife and parents.
