In the first place, Robert Feke was of English, not of Dutch,
descent. The family name, variously spelled as " Feake,"
"Feke," " Feak," etc., appears in England, as far back as
1593. The first ancestor of the painter in America was Robert
Feake, who came to Massachusetts Bay with Governor John
Winthrop in 1630, and become one of the earliest and largest
proprietors of Watertown, Massachusetts. His name entered
as " Mr. Robte ffeake," under date of 19 October, 1630, appears
in a list "of such as desire to be made ffreemen," in the
official records of Massachusetts.^ A high, pointed rock near
the Charles River, about eight mile3 above Watertown, re-
ceived from him the name of Mount Feake. He married
Elisabeth Fones, widow of Henry Winthrop, the son of
Governor Winthrop. She had been married in April, 1629, to
Henry Winthrop, who was her own cousin, and he, leaving her
in England, had come to America, and was drowned near
Salem, Massachusetts. William Coddington, later Governor
of Rhode Island, was in England while Bessie Winthrop was
a widow, and was regarded as a possible suitor for her hand ;
but this came to naught, and she came over to Massachusetts,
arriving in November, 1631. She probably become Robert
Feake's wife soon thereafter. He became freeman of the
colony in May, 163 1, Lieutenant to Captain Patrick from 1632
to 1636, selectman and representative to the General Court.
In 1639-40 he went with Patrick to Connecticut, bought land

at what is now called Greenwich, and finally became subject
to the Dutch. This fact, and the baptism of several of his
children in the Dutch Church of New York, as well as the
fact that a Tobias Feake, who perhaps was his nephew, was
appointed "schout" or sheriff under the Dutch at Flushing
in 1655, may be the foundation of the story that the family of
the painter was of Dutch origin.

The end of the life of the first progenitor of the family in
America was sad. For some cause he separated from his
wife, of whom he wrote affectionately, and he became mentally
deranged without recovery. He returned to Watertown,
where he died in February, 1662, having the reputation of
being a sincerely devout and good man. The Dutch and the
government of New Haven pursued Mrs. Feake and Mr. Wil-
liam Hallett, the manager of her property, with rigorous orders
and enactments, until they were driven to New London, to
John Winthrop. They could procure no return to Greenwich.
In 1649 Hallett, Mrs. Feake and the children removed to
Long Island.
This first Robert Feake and his wife Elisabeth had five
children, three of whom, at least, Elisabeth, Hannah and John,
became devoted members of the Society of Friends.
