Rev. JOHN LOTHROPP, for this is the form in which he wrote his name, was the
fourth child of Thomas and Mary (----) Lowthroppe; was bapt. Dec. 20, 1584 in
Etton, East Riding, Yorkshire, England, and became the pioneer and founder of a
large family of Lothrops in America.  He deserves much more complete biography
than our sources of information will furnish.  He entered Queens' College,
Cambridge, in 1601; was graduated A.B. in 1605 and M.A. in 1609.  He married
(1) HANNAH HOWSE, of Eastwell, County Kent, England.  Marriage license issued
in Canterbury, England, Oct. 10, 1610, from L. Culleton's Heraldic Office, No.
25 Cranborne Street, London.

He was Curate in the parish church in Egerton, Kent, forty-eight miles from
London, England and was admitted to his living about 1611 by Dean and Chapter
of St. Paul.  It was probably his first and only charge as a minister of the
English Church.  that he was an acceptable minister we have no reason to doubt.

The church in which he officiated was an ancient structure standing on the
summit of a rounded hill, and could be seen from a great distance.  The site
was beautiful and the church itself, named for St. James, consisted of two
aisles and a chancel.  At the west end rose a square tower with a beacon
turret, a feature which gives a charm to so many pleasant English landscapes.
Here Mr. Lothropp labored faithfully for as long as his judgment approved the
ritual and government of the English church; but in 1623 he espoused the cause
of the Independents.  The next year he succeeded Rev. Henry Jacobs in London,
and became minister of the first Congregational Church organized in England,
which had been formed under the ministry of Mr. Jacobs.  Under Mr. Lathropp's
charge the congregation had no place of worship, their meetings being illegal.
Only such as could meet the oblique, and risk the danger of worshipping God in
violation of human statutes, were likely to be found in that secret gathering.
Yet in goodly numbers, in such places as they could stealthily occupy, they
held together and were comforted and instructed by the minister of their
choice.  They were tracked to their retreat where they were holding a religious
meeting in a private room in Black Friars.  Forty-two were seized and cast into
prison and eighteen escaped.  While Mr. Lothropp was in prison his wife "Fell
sick, of which sickness she died."  After it became evident that she would not
recover and shortly before her death he was allowed to visit her, but went back
again to prison.  It is said that after she died six of her children went to
the Bishop and begged of him to let their father come home, telling him they
were left alone and had nobody to take care of them.

After two years in prison Mr. Lothropp was released, only on condition of
leaving the country.  On his liberation he joined the persecuted founders of a
great nation in the new world.  In 1634 he with his children and 34 of his
church and congregation embarked for Boston, having for fellow passengers Rev.
Zackary Symmes, Ann Hutchinson and many others.  The Rev. John Lothropp tarried
not long in Boston, but, like the Revs. Hooker, Stone, Prudden and others, he
was followed by his flock from place to place.  He settled in Scituate, and
Barnstable, at both of which places Mr. Lothropp was the first pastor.  Soon
after his arrival in Scituate he married (2) Ann ----, and on his consenting to
settle there the town voted him a farm.  In 1637 while pastor at Scituate, he
was made freeman of New Plymouth, before Gov. Bradford, Miles Standish, and
others.  In 1639, with a majority of his people he went to Barnstable and
commenced its settlement there, and as a leader and pastor he was held in honor
till his death Nov. 8, 1653.  His wife Ann long outlived him; her home was in
Barnstable in 1683, and she died Feb. 25, 1688.

Letter from Orson Pratt to Parley P. Pratt referring to Joseph Smith's vision
about relationship of the two families:
  "Grandfather Christopher should be complete and every soul included in the
general record.
  "I have published the history and genealogy of Joseph Smith as written
before his death, this included six or seven generations of his ancestry.  You
will recollect that Joseph had a vision and saw that our fathers and his all
sprang from the same man a few generations ago.  I shall be pleased to trace
both genealogies back to their junction, if it be possible.
  "Please write often and forgive my negligence.
                 From your younger brother,
                            Orson Pratt"
