      1. James (1) Weeden was baptised 30 July 1585 at Chesham, Bucks Co, England son of Richard Weeden (br 1550) and Joan (br 1555). He married (1) 11 Sep 1615 at Chesham Phillipa Cocke who was baptised 14 Jan 1687/8 at Chesham daughter of William Cocke (br 1550) and Joan (br 1555). He came to America on the ship "Martin" in 1638, and was a member of the court of trials in Newport in 1648 and was on a committee at Portsmouth 16 May 1651. He was of Portsmouth when he sold land to Daniel Grinnell 32 Mar 1658.
