Ferris suggested Lavenham, Suffolk, as an origin for this family, for which there is no documentary evidence, but an origin in southwest Suffolk seems likely, as so many of the early Boston settlers were neighbors of Winthrop in England. The state ment in his will that he came from a long line of ministers should assist in finding his English home.
