Ann Isbell, relict of Robert Isbell, married after 1655 to William Nicholls.
Robert Isbell immigrated to Gloucester, Mass. by 1634; received a land grant in Salem, Mass. in 1635; moved to New London by 1650 (ref., Who's who in New England: A Biographical Dictionary (1915), p.592; "History of New London," by Frances Caulkins, p. 272).
New England Marriages Prior to 1700 (1985; 2007 reprint) by Clarence Almon Torrey, p.411: Robert Isbell married Ann Kingman.
Internet database "Netherlands, GenealogieOnline Trees Index, 1000-2015" lists Joanna Kingman as marrying Robert Isbell.
The Isbell and Kingman Families (1889) by Leroy Wilson Kingman lists Ann Isbell's maiden name as unknown. The author's grandmother was Miriam Isbell Kingman, 3rd-great-granddaughter of Robert and Ann Isbell.
Descendants of Henry Kingman (1912) by Bradford Kingman does not show Ann Kingman Isbell among the daughters of Henry Kingman.
Genealogy of the Isbell Family (1929) by Mary I. Scott, p. 14: "The common ancestors of all the Isbells in the United States are Robert Isbell (1st) and his wife, Ann Kingman."
Genealogy of the Isbell Family (1929) by Mary I. Scott, pp. 14-15 says Robert Isbell's wife was Ann Kingman, daughter of Henry Kingman.
Descendants of Robert Isbell in America (1944) by Edna Warren Mason) pp.1-2 states that the author believes Ann Isbell's maiden name is stated as Kingman in error.
Many family trees online show Robert Isbell's wife as Joanna or Ann Wells Kingman, born at Aderholt, Dorset, daughter of Henry Kingman and Joanna Drake, but the identification of Henry Kingman's daughters and their husbands is debated among researchers. His daughters Ann and Bridget married Robert Davis and Tobias Davis respectively. His daughter Joanna Kingman married Thomas Holbrook Jr. (1624-1697). Some claim Joanna "Ann" Kingman married both Thomas Holbrook and Robert Isbell but this appears to be incorrect. Thomas Holbrook was a first cousin of the Thomas Holbrook (1627-1705) whose 5th-great-granddaughter Florence Chandler Maybrick was convicted in England of poisoning her husband James Maybrick, who some claim was the real Jack the Ripper. Still others believe that Ann Kingman married both Robert Davis and Robert Isbell but this is not proven.
From The Descendants of Robert Isbell (1944) by Edna Warren Mason:
He was first noticed at Salem, Mass., where he became a Proprietor. In 1636 his name appears on the list of Grants of Land known as Land Grants A, also on the list made by Roger Conant of the Division of the marsh and meadow, ordered to be assigned and laid out to the families at a Town Meeting, December 25, 1637, known as Land Grants B. The figure 1 before his name indicates the number of persons in his family, and the figure 2, after his name, that he received half an acre. Robert Isbell and wife, Ann, lived in that part of Salem which in 1645 became Manchester. In 1651, before leaving for New London, "Robert Isbell of Manchester, carpenter, for 15 pounds sold his dwellinghouse and 49 acres of land with his partition of meadow which is one half acre allotted to him in 1638 by Richard Norman."
October 19, 1650, grants of land were made by the townsmen of New London to "Mr. Richard Blynman, Obadiah Bruen, Hughe Calkin, Hughe Roberts, John Coite, Andrew Lester, James Averye and Robert Isbell." Mr. Blynman was a minister at Gloucester, Mass., engaged to become the minister at Pequot Plantations as New London was then called. The others were a party of his friends from Gloucester and Salem who purposed to come with him and came on to make preparatory arrangements. Early in 1651, New Street, in rear of the town plot, was opened for the accommodation of the Cape Ann Company, as this little group was known. This was designated as "beyond the brook and the ministry lot." It was made into houselots and called Cape Ann Lane, nine lots on this street of six acres each. Beginning at the lower end Hughe Calkins had the first lot by the Lyme Road, or highway to Nahantic, next him, his son-in-law, Hughe Roberts, then John Coite, Andrew Lester, James Averye, Robert Allyn, William Meads, William Hough and Robert Isbell. Later, lands near New London, were laid out to Robert Isbell, Capt. John Avery and John Pickett, near Jonathan Brewsters in Poquetannock, and those were called the "Poquetannock Grants." December 1659, his house on New Street was sold to William Hough, and in 1665 the farm in the northern part of the town in what is now (1943) Ledyard and on which he had lived, was bought by George Geer."
"In December, 1659, he [Deacon William Douglas] purchased of William Hough of New London, Connecticut, the house that was Robert Isbell's in New Street." {Colonial Families of the United States of America [1919] by GEORGE NORBURY MACKENZIE, p. 193.) Deacon William Douglas (1610-1682) is at Findagrave 50191722.
In 1665, Eleazer Isbell sold 150 acres that had belonged to his father, Robert Isbell, including one of his homes, to George Geer (1621-1726) and Sarah Allyn Geer (1642-1725) (FindaGrave 41346410). Historians identify their great-grandson Thomas Geer as builder (c1796) of the house there now. Thomas Geer "the builder" sold it in 1799 to his 3rd-cousin Capt. Christopher Allyn's son, Capt. Alexander Allyn. It remained in the Allyn family until 1904, when George St. John Sheffield, a benefactor to Yale rowing, acquired it, and in 1907 Yale University purchased it. In 1878 the annual Yale-Harvard Regatta, begun in 1852, moved permanently to Gales Ferry (Ledyard, formerly New Haven). A large addition was built onto the Geer structure to house the Yale rowing team. A large boat house was designed by architect James Gamble Rogers who designed several Yale college library buildings. "Payne Whitney, 1898 heavyweight rowing captain, also contributed significantly to Gales Ferry." The Gales Ferry compound grew to include several historic Allyn houses, among others, which may have been on Isbell property also.
