The first northern SEWALL immigrant was Rev. Henry SEWALL (1614-1700) (wife Jane DUMMER) to Newbury MA in 1634. His English history is: .William SEWALL m. 1540 Matilda HORNE ..Henry SEWALL (Mayor of Coventry) m. c.1575 Margaret GRAZEBROOK ...Henry SEWALL (1576-1656) m. Anne HUNT (he also came to America) ....Rev. Henry SEWALL m. Jane DUMMER I descend from two of their daughters: Anne who m.1) Wm. LONGFELLOW, and 2) Henry SHORT and from Jane who m. Moses GERRISH. Another son of Henry SEWALL and Margaret GRAZEBROOK was ...Richard SEWALL who m. in England Mary DUGDALE. Their son, ....Hon. Henry SEWALL/SEWELL m. Jane LOWE and immigrated to Maryland. Thus, the Rev. Henry SEWALL of Newbury MA was a first cousin to the Hon. Henry SEWELL of Maryland. I keep the "Rev." and "Hon" labels in front of these two Henry's to distinguish them, although "Hon." Henry often changed the spelling from SewAll to SewEll. The Hon. Henry SEWELL was appointed Secretary of the Colony and was close to the Lords Baltimore. After Henry's death, his widow Jane married Charles Calvert, the Third Lord Baltimore in 1667.
