William Vassall
William Vassall, was baptized August 27, 1592, Stepney, Middlesex (London), England. He was a highly educated gentleman who was far ahead of his time and publicly supported freedom of religion. In March 1629 he was recorded in the Charter for the Massachusetts Bay Company as a patentee, along with his brother Samuel. The Charter founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, bringing over 20,000 English immigrants to New England in the 1630s.〔Charter of Massachusetts Bay Colony ''()''〕〔AGG Harry P. Folger 3rd Assistant Editor, ''The Mayflower Quarterly'', Sept. 2010, p. 256〕〔Eugene Aubrey Stratton.

William Vassall was a son of John Vassall and Anne Russell. William Vassall's paternal grandfather John Vassall had been sent to England by his father, who was also named John, to escape persecution in France, as the Vassall family were Huguenots from Normandy in the time of French religious purges in the 16th century.〔William Vassal: A Biography ''()''〕 William Vassall's father had been recognized by Queen Elizabeth I as achieving merit in the war with the Spanish Armada in 1588 by providing two ships which he commanded at his own expense, the ''Samuel'' and the ''Little Toby''.〔Dorothy Carpenter, ''William Vassall and dissent in early Massachusetts: Another Look at the Founding of Massachusetts with special emphasis on a forgotten dissenter, William Vassall'' (2004) p. 14〕〔Dictionary of National Biography, pp 155-156.〕 A 'Mayflower' (not the Pilgrim ship), of 250 tons out of London, owned by William Vassall's father John Vassall and others, was outfitted in 1588 for the Queen, possibly also for Armada service.〔R. G. Marsden, "The Mayflower", English Historical Review (19 October 1904), p. 675.〕 The Vassall arms can be noted on the National Armada Memorial in Plymouth England. In 1609, John Vassall was recorded as a shareholder on the Second Charter of The Virginia Company. Anne Russell was John Vassall’s second of three wives and with her had five children, William being the youngest.〔AGG Harry P. Folger, ''The Mayflower Quarterly'' (Sept. 2010), pp. 255-256〕
