Anthony m. in 1635 Eleanor _____.

The Bracketts of Maine and New Hampshire descend from Anthony Brackett of Portsmouth, NH. On 13 Jan 1652 a 30-acre grant was voted to him and on 04 Mar 1652 the land was laid out to the people of Sandy Beach, including Anthony. 19 Sept 1678 Anthony purchased land at Sandy Beach. On Tuesday, 28 Sept 1691 a band of American Indians descended upon the community killing 21 persons among whom were Anthony Brackett and his wife, and capturing two children of his son, John. Anthony was in Portsmouth by 1650, when he sold his house there. He married about 1635. C.E.Banks' "Topographical Dict..." states he emigrated from Salisbury, Wiltshire, England to Portsmouth, NH. The Bracket Genealogy (1896) infers he came from Scotland and that he deeded "glebe lands" to the church wardens at Portsmouth for a parsonage. The Leonard Weeks Genealogy (1888, p.130) states in 1640 he with 19 others conveyed 50 acres to the church wardens of Portsmouth for establishing a church, and reports he arrived in 1631 and settled at Strawberry Point (Portsmouth, NH) and died in 1691. Brackett is a rare English surname, found in Co. Norfolk in 1574. Anthony was a town selectman and owned a productive farm. His will was made 11 Sept 1691. "The Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire," Vol. III, 1908, by Ezra S. Stearns, p. 1013 states that the surname was originally Brocket and from Wales, that four brothers of the name came with Gov. Winthrop in 1630 and were believed to be natives of Scotland (Capt. Richard who settled in Boston and then Braintree, Peter who settled in Conn., William and Anthony who came to Portsmouth, NH in 1631 with John Mason)[this source is not always reliable!]. John Brockett [sic] arrived at Boston on the "Hector" 26 June 1637 with the Rev. John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton [Eaton served as Gov. of Conn.]; the group travelled to New Haven from Boston in the summer of 1638 and settled there; this John was born in England, 1609, was a surveyor and civil engineer, etc. - see "The Desc. of John Brockett..." (1905). [Note: Sandy Beach is now Rye, NH.]

Also see "Old Kittery and Her Families," Everett S. Stackpole (Lewiston, ME: Lewiston Journal Co., 1903), pp 298ff. for Anthony and his descendants. This reference gives his year of death as 1696. And see "Descendants of Anthony Brackett," Alpheus S. Brackett (1897), referenced by Stackpole, and "New England Annals, Chapter Six," Laird C. Towle, Editor (Bowie, MA: Heritage Books, 1980), pp. 18-23, which reports that he was taken captive by Native Americans in 1689 and held by them for about a year, and that he commanded Fort Loyal and two military companies in 1682. NEHGR for 1854, p. 77, reports he took the oath of freeman at Exeter, NH 14 July 1657.
