THE LINES FAMILY 
 
 By Donald Lines Jacobus of 
 New Haven, Connecticut 
 
 Note 
 
 I have endeavored to give below 
 a fairly complete genealog}^ of the 
 Lines Family of New Haven through 
 the first five generations, and on a 
 few lines of descent to the present 
 day, hoping that these notes may 
 be made the foundation of a more 
 complete genealogy of the family. 
 I shall be glad to receive any addi- 
 tions or corrections. I take this 
 opportunity to express my indebt- 
 edness to all who have aided me in 
 my researches, but more particu- 
 larly to Mrs. Betsey Morgafi of 
 Woodbridge, Conn, ; Mr. Calvin C. 
 Lines of Peoria, 111., and Mr. H. 
 Wales Lines of Meriden, Conn. 
 
 Henry and Ralph Lines, usually 
 supposed to be brothers, settled in 
 New Haven about 1642, Henry 
 states in the birth-record of his 
 son, Samuel, that he is "second 
 Sonne of John Line (as he saith) of 
 Badby two miles from Dantry 
 [Daventry] in Northamptonshire." 
 I have obtained the will of a John 
 Lyne of Badby, who died in 1620. 
 This John was probably father of 
 John and grandfather of Henry, 
 the emigrant. Further search 
 might prove the connection of 
 Henry and Ralph with this John 
 Lyne. 
 
 I. John Lyne of Badby, North- 
 amptonshire, England, was left the 
 estate of his mother, Elizabeth Lyne 
 in 1600. He married Agnes. In 
 his will be names his sons John and 
 Henry, daughter Elizabeth, and son 
 Joseph. "I give unto my wife 
 Agnis X pound of currant monye. " 
 The will was proved February 27, 
 1620. 
 
 Children: 
 2. i. John. 
 
 ii. Henry, executor of his 
 
 father's will in 1620. 
 He was, therefore, born 
 before 1600, and was too 
 old to be Henry of New 
 ^ Haven. 
 
 iii. Elizabeth, 
 iv. Joseph. 
 
 2. John Lyne, Jr., was probably 
 the man called father by Henry 
 Lines. He had, then, for his second 
 son: 
 
 3, i. Henry ^, settled in New 
 Haven. 
 
 3. Henryi Lines (John) settled in 
 New Haven, Conn., and died Jan- 
 uary 13-14, 1663. "An inventory of 
 the estate of Henry Lines late of 
 Newhaven deceased taken & ap- 
 prised May 30, 1663." Elizabeth 
 Lines, doubtless his widow, mar- 
 ried, second, November 6, 1663, 
 Thomas Larapson; married, third, 
 March 29, 1666, Mr. John Morris. 
 
 Children : 
 
 i. John^ b. Aug. 7, 1656^

 iii. Samuel, b, Jan. 16, bapt. 
 
 Mar, 24, d. Apr., 1660. 
 iv. Hopestill, b. Nov. 6, 
 bapt. 9, 1661. 
 
 4. Ralph 1 Lines, Sr., probably 
 brother of Henry, lived in that part 
 of New Haven later designated the 
 parish of Am.ity, and now the town 
 of Woodbridge. He died Septem.- 
 ber 7, 1689, and his estate showed 
 an inventory of over ^242. In his 
 will, dated December 4, 1687, he 
 mentions sons Samuel, Ralph, 
 Joseph and Benjamin, wife "Alls," 
 and daughter Hannah. A codicil, 
 dated February i, 1689, says that as 
 his life has been prolonged, and his 
 daughter Hannah since died, he 
 leaves her portion to his wife, 
 Alice. An additional codicil, made 
 during his last sickness, states as 
 his son Benjamin has since died, 
 but his widow being with child, to 
 that child, if it lives, he bequeaths 
 its father's portion. He also speaks 
 
of his deceased daughter Merriman. 
 The will was proved November 13, 
 1689 (New Haven Probate, Vol. II, 
 p. 17). 
 Children: 
 
 5. i. SamueP, b. Apr.. 1649.

 (New Haven Probate, Vol. II, p. 
 115). His widow re-married, sec- 
 ond, John Hitchcock of Wiillinj^- 
 f ord ; and third, Samuel Clark. In 
 WiiUingford land-deeds, lier sons, 
 John and Daniel Lines, call John 
 Hitchcock their father-in-law [step- 
 father], and John Hitchcock had a 
 second wife, Mary (see "Hitchcock 
 Genealogy"). S;imuel Lines was
