Buried 3 Mar 1690/91 in Farmington CT. Married Mary Bird 9 Jan 1641/42 in Ipswich MA.John North and Mary Bird were married on January 9, 1640 in Ipswich, Mass.
Their Children:
John North born November 1, 1641 in Ipswich, Mass.
Mary North born about 1642 in Ipswich, Mass.
Samuel North born about 1644 in Ipswich, Mass.
James North born about 1647 in Ipswich Mass.
Thomas North born June 30, 1649 in Farmington, Conn.
Nathaniel North born December 18, 1653 in Farmington, Conn.
Sarah North born December 18, 1653 in Farmington, Conn.
Nathaniel North born June 29, 1656 in Farmington, Conn.
Lydia North born May 9, 1658 in Farmington, Conn.
Joseph North born March 18, 1659 in Farmington, Conn.
Documentation from the colonies says that John North was born 1615. The ancestry of John North who immigrated in 1635 has not been proven. Many are saying that he is the son of Sir John Dudley North, 3rd Baron, 1581-1666 and his wife Frances Brocket. I have seen no proof of this. Written biographies suggest that he is originated from Yorkshire, England. That is the location of origin for most of the passengers who embarked on the same voyage in 1635 on the "Susan and Ellen".

I hope the following will finally put Dudley North to rest.
From LDS FHL film #416757-Item 3, Transcripts of parish registers of London, St. Bartholomew the Less, London, England, 1547-1837 by Challen, W. H. (William Harold)
"Marriages at St. Bartholomew the Less:
18 Apr 1646, John North Esq. and the Lady Anne Bosville, widow of Sir Leonard Bosville."
I have no doubt that this John North is the 1612 son of Dudley and the transcriber thought the same as he saw fit to enter the following note.
"John North, son of Dudley 3rd Lord North (1581-1666) and brother to Dorothy North who married 4 Jan 1624 at St. Giles Cripplegate to Richard Lennard, 13 Lord Dacre of Chevening Kent and Hurstmonceau, Sussex, married firstly, 1634 at Kirtling, Sara, widow of Charles Drury of Rougham, Suffolk who she had married 1631 at Great Bealings, the daughter of Henry Seckford.
Lady Anne Bosville, daughter of Sir Thomas Ridley, etc, etc. et al"
So, perhaps we can spend our time looking for the real John North of Farmington.
