Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogical Sketch of Some of the Descendants of Robert Savory of Newbury, 1656
There was a Gothic bishop in the fifth century by the name of Sabas. He was mentioned in Gibbons' Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The name or some compound of it existed in England before the Norman Conquest.
One of the earliest notices of the name in this country is among the passengers of the ship Mary and jo/m. They took the Oaths of allegiance and supremacy enacted before leaving England on the 24th day of March, 1633. In old style this would be the last day of the year. Thomas Savory's name is the twelfth on the list and William Savory's is the twentieth. Wil liam T. Davis, in his work, Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, states that Thomas and William were brothers. There is no record of children born to William, who came with Thomas on the Mary and film, from Wilts, or Wiltshire, in the southwest of England. This vessel arrived at Ipswich, Mass., on the first of May, 1634, after a passage of five or six weeks.
