Henry KEMBALL

Born about 1600 at Laeford (Lawford), Essex, England, son of Richard KEMBALL [F9100]..
Henry, the emigrant, may have been the Henry mentioned in the will of Richard KEMBALL. This is, however, a matter of conjecture. We do know, however, that Henry Kemball of Mistley singleman and Susan Cutting widow of the neighboring parish of Great Bromley were married on 27 NOV 1628, at Great Bromley, Sussex, England.
Henry Kimball and Susanna Stone, with at least daughter Elizabeth and her son Richard Cutting, were on the passenger list of the ship Elizabeth on 30 April 1634 out of Ipswich, England. They settled in Watertown, Massachusetts.

The will of Richard Cutting of "Much Bromley" July 27, 1627, mentions his wife Susan and his children Richard and Susan. Richard came with his mother to this country and settled in Watertown, Mass.
