John Vinal MAY have been born about 1636 in Biddenton, Kent, England, but his brother Stephen made an acccount of their arrival in Scituate. "Martha was the oldest, Stephen was born in the middle of December of 1630, and John was two or three years younger". This information came directly from Ann to Stephen.
John is the son of Stephen and the "Widow Ann Vinal". His father, either passing just before or on voyage over, left Ann and her 3 children coming to the New World alone in 1636. She was one of the few women who were land holders soon after arrival, so the family may have been with some financial means. She was the only woman to be considered a founder of Scituate, Plymouth Colony. Her first home was built in 1637, which Stephen later resided at upon Ann's passing in 1664,
The family name can be found spelled "Vinall" in records, and it varies even within this branch of the family.
