LAHORNE, Rowland

Rowland Lahorne arrived in New England before 14 January 1635/6, when the Plymouth Colony records noted his marriage to ‘Flower’ (Flora). He was granted eleven acres of land at Duxbury on 6 February 1636/7, which he sold together with a house on 8 November 1639. By 1643 Lahorne was at Charlestown, Massachusetts, where he took town office as a herdsman in 1646 and as a ‘field driver’ in 1649. He was still in Charlestown on 13 September 1654, when he and Flora acknowledged the sale of a house and fifteen acres of land at Malden. He described himself as a ‘planter’.

Lahorne returned to England sometime after September 1654. On 7 April 1663 ‘Rouland Langhorne of the City of London, cordwainer’ appointed Habbakuk Glover of Boston as his attorney to collect debts.

LAMBERTON, George (d. 1646)

George Lamberton, a merchant, was an early settler of New Haven. In 1641 he promoted attempts by New Haven merchants to establish trading posts on the Delaware: twenty New Haven families took part in this venture, but most came back in 1643 after resistance from the Dutch. Lamberton aided the establishment of the New England Confederation in 1643, and on its behalf negotiated with the director general of New Sweden about Swedish and Dutch opposition to English settlements on the Delaware.
