The
first record of Richard Sykes in New
England was when he joined the Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts the
4 day 9th
month 1639, November 4, 1639. It's not known on what ship he
arrived. A relation of religious experience or confessions was a
necessary prerequisite to church membership in 1639. This would
have taken some time so Richard probably arrived in the Spring of 1639
at the latest. The next record showing him is becoming a Freeman,
13th day 3th month 1640, May 13, 1640 at
Cambridge Mass. He is included in the list, in sequence, with
several other Dorchester men. He would have to have been 21 to
become a Freeman so that makes his birth in England before May 1619.
Phebe
Sykes joined the church in
Dorchester on
the 9 day 4 month 1640, 9 June 1640. This is the first record of
Phebe
in New England, her surname has not been found. It was reported
to
be Green by (Ref. 7), Elizabeth (Oviatt) Browning, but from other
records I have proved this is not true.
There
is an active investigation that
she
might be Phoebe Cooley brother to Benjamin Cooley another early
Springfield family. In Benjamin Cooley’s will he mentions
"my cousen Sikes land ..." and there is a Phoebe Cooley bp. 10 Nov 1609
and a Benjamin Cooley bp. 25 Feb 1615/6 at Tring, Hertford, England.
Richard & Phebe were probably born
before 1619 for a couple of reasons: first Phebe had her last child,
James, in 1651. If she was in her early 40's that would put her
birth about 1610.
Richard also asked for release from Training on 24 Sept 1661 due to age
and
weakness; if he was in his early 60's that would make his birth about
1600.

Rebecca Sikes was baptized 3 month 9 day
1641, as recorded in the Dorchester church records. Warren
"Springfield Families" (Ref. 2) give Rebecca's birth as Roxbury,
1640. I don't know the source of this. Richard and Phebe
were living in Dorchester, MA before and after this. Many of the
first settlers to Springfield were from Roxbury because that is where
William Pynchon came from. Also I have not found a primary source
with her birth date listed as 6 Dec 1640. Typically babies were
baptized within a week or two of birth.

On 20 Aug 1672, Victory and his brother
Nathaniel were granted land, 30 acres on the northerly side of their
father's land
in Springfield, MA at Cowseek Brook with the condition they would not
bother passage over their land in the times of the flood of the Old
River.
On 4 Aug 1679, Victory Sikes and several
other made a motion at a town meeting to have the town give them some
land for a
sawmill. Victory's first five children were born in Springfield,
MA.
On 10 Aug 1680 Victory was granted 50 acres of land in Suffield (part
of
Massachusetts until 1748). For running Boundaries between
Springfield
and Suffield in 1681, Victory was paid 3 shillings. This doesn't
seem
like much. Perhaps this explains why Suffield boundaries took so
long
to straighten out.
He moved his family to Suffield in
1682.
Victory was a carpenter by trade (all Suffield land grantees had to
have a trade). With his brother Increase, he contracted to
build a barn 52 by 24 feet,
for Major Pynchon in Springfield, MA
The land grant
in Suffield was 50 acres
located on Springfield road which was changed to Crooked Lane and is
now Mapleton Avenue. Dr. George Dimmock (Ref. 10) said that
Victory lived on the north corner of North Street and Mapleton
Avenue. Victory's first
wife Elizabeth died during child birth shortly after moving to Suffield
in
1683. Victory remarried 16 Jul 1684 to Elizabeth Granger.
He
had four more children by his second wife. Of his 11 children
only
three survived him. Jonathan, Samuel and Victory. In these
days
they were eager to carry on the family names. Victory was no
exception.
He had two Jonathan's, two John's, and two Victory's. There is a
possible problem with the second John. There is only one birth
date recorded in the Suffield v.r., but two death deaths, John son of
Victory & Elizabeth d. 28 Apr 1687 & 19 Apr 1690, hardly enough
time for the second John to
be born between the two Victory's.
He held many
town offices in Suffield:
Sealer of the Weights and Measures, Constable, and even read the
service in the old
church. Victory in 1691 took James King to court because King had
some
clapboards that Victory had made from a tree he had cut down on the
Common. King had brought the clapboards back when he found out
who the owner was. The Judge found the clapboards to be Victory's
but didn't fine King because King had thought the clapboards to be from
his land.
As Constable, Victory had the job on 5
Apr
1697 to take William Peirce of Suffield, CT from court in Springfield
to Suffield and to keep him in custody until he paid a 15 shillings
fine and received a whipping on the naked body with eight
stripes. Four as punishment for his profaning the Sabbath day and
four stripes for his said theft.
Victory's second wife Elizabeth died 20
Mar 1691/2.
He remarried a third time to the widow Judah(Pritchard) Trumble.
He
died 25 Apr 1708, age 59.

Benjamin and Hannah
Sikes were some of
the
original settlers of Ludlow, MA.
Ludlow records show
that in 1776 at a
town
meeting three men were chosen to meet with Benjamin to acquire some
land, "where
we bury our dead." The clerk's minutes recorded for the town
meeting
of 31 Mar 1777 says:
"Received a deed of a Gift
from Mr.
Benjamin Sikes
of a Certain piece of land in order to or as a place to bury our Dead"
-
voted
also that the Thanks of the town be Returned for the same to the said
Mr.
Sikes for his Benevolence. The Sikes Cemetery named for Benjamin
is
the oldest cemetery in Ludlow. When Benjamin gave the land it was
already
a burial place for two Sikes family members. The first grave is
Anna
(wife of Lieutenant John Sikes) his daughter-in-law. The second
grave is Submit, daughter of
Reuben and Mary Chapin.
The gravestone of Benjamin,
who died on
2
Aug 1781, aged 77 years, reads "Death is a debt / To nature due, /
Which I have paid / and so must you".
The gravestone of Hannah,
who died on 7
Apr 1790,
aged 84 years, reads "Life is uncertain / Death is sure / Sin is the
wound,
/ & Christ the cure".

Titus
Sikes and family
moved to
Vermont. Instead of settling as close together as possible, as
the Farwell brothers did, the Sykes's scattered over the valley and
adjoining towns as far apart as possible, as if to occupy the whole
valley. After two or three
generations, in 1856, there were said to be more names of Sykes on the
Grand
List of Dorset than any other family. There were at least ten
farms
owned and operated by Sykes's in 1861, based on a 1869 map of Dorset
with
13 Sykes names. The
first Sykes to
relocate was Titus,
Jr., who
settled at the upper end of West Hill Road, probably in 1772, a year
before
Cephas Kent established his tavern at the foot of the same road.
The
two families came from Suffield, and were already connected by the
marriage of Cephas's son, John to Titus's sister Lucy. In the end
four Kent's married four Sykes's, from Titus's family. The
Sheldons, another old Dorset family, also came from Suffield.
Titus's oldest son
was
Sylvanus, who
settled on a Dorset farm, which in 1964 was the home of Mrs. Frank L.
Dillon. Ashbel settled in Rupert, VT, just up the valley from
Dorset. Jacob in Pawlet, VT, also just up the valley.
Israel, eventually, up the
East Road where Mrs. Matthew P. Gaffney lives. Victory,
eventually
moved across the street where Mr. & Mrs. Leon Edgerton now lives,
as
of 1964. The
father of the six
sons, Titus Sykes
Sr., came up from Connecticut before the Revolution with some of his
children, 16 in all, including two sets of twins. Two sons died
as a young children. He later returned to Connecticut but finally
came back to Dorset, settled, and died there in 1811. He acquired
a large farm on the East Road,
now Route 30, about a mile out from the village and judging from a
fascinating old document signed by him in 1789, built two houses
there. According to the deed; his gift to his son, Israel, half
of his extensive property
and what he called "the
old
dwelling house" and to another son, Victory, the other half of his
property,
and what he called "the new
house", where he was living. That "old dwelling house", old
in 1789, where Israel
Sykes, his children and his grandchildren lived, is now Mrs. Gaffney's
home.
The "new house", new in 1789, is the present Leon Edgerton house,
(1964).
For many years, all through the 1800s, the road North from the village
was
known as the Sykes neighborhood, as the South end of West Road was the
Kent
neighborhood. Titus Sykes's will, one of the precious records in
the
Dorset Town Office, begins: "Titus to Israel: I, Titus Sykes of
Dorset,
for consideration of the love and goodwill and affection, which I, the
said
Titus Sykes, bear my son Israel Sykes ..... freely give, grant and
assign
unto him ..." Similarly worded is the section devoted to his son,
Victory. Titus
Sykes after his
removal to Vermont
still loved the "land of steady habits" and longed to see it, and
frequently visited his native town, but as his years increased, the
journey became too great and tiresome for his declining strength.
His sons, now and then visited his and their birthplace. On one
occasion, as the two of them were
about to start on their journey, they went to bid their aged Father, a
good-bye, and asked "What shell we bring from old Connecticut," he
replied, "Bring some
of the good old Connecticut dirt to cover these Dorset rocks with."
This is one of the
family
lines that
started to spell there name with a 'y' instead of a 'i'. The
graves of Titus and Rhoda are next to each other in the Maple Hill,
Cemetery. Rhoda, who died in 1791, has on her grave stone "Wife
of Titus Sikes", Titus who died in 1811, has "Titus Sykes"; There
are several other examples
of the Sikes spelling in the Dorset Cemetery, Titus Sikes Jr. d. 1832,
Mary (Roe) Sikes wife of Sylvanus Sykes d. 1832 & Eleanor Sikes d.
1798, but most of this branch of the family preferred "Sykes".
Four of the six sons
of
Titus served in
the Revolutionary
War: Sylvanus, Titus Jr., Ashbel, and Jacob.
