Special thanks to the following people for their
extensive research and documentation, which was used in compiling the
information in this annex:
2. Dr. George Lemar and Ruth Francis (Bryant) Rubright.
Origin of
the surname “Gurney:”
The American Gurneys descend
from the ancient Gournay tribe that accompanied Rollo
into Normandy, France. Two of the Lords
of Gournay who had helped William “The Congueror” defeat the Saxons in England, Hugh and Hugh,
Jr., were each granted by William, as recompense for that help, some of the
conquered English lands in Norfolk. Many
subsequent generations of Gournay families created
the pool of Gurneys that eventually helped populate America.

7 John Gurney
A. Biographical notes:
Born about 1654 at Weymouth, Massachusetts. Probably lost at sea. Resided at Weymouth and Little Comfort, Massachusetts.
In the summer of 1693 a crude sawmill was erected on the Schumatuscacant River, in the East end of what is now Whitman, Massachusetts. John Gurney’s father-in-law, Joseph Green, apparently sent John there to run the sawmill, which Joseph Green and John Porter, both of Weymouth, had jointly built as a means of opening up the territory and enhancing the value of the lands which they owned there. It was an early land promotion scheme and the builders, who owned large parcels of land, hoped to attract some settlers. This area was technically in the Northeast corner of the original township of Old Bridgewater, which later became South Abington, Massachusetts, and is now Whitman. The mill and the community which it developed around it was called “Little Comfort.”
In January 1695 John Gurney purchased from his father-in-law (or at least swapped Weymouth land for) about 95 acres at Little Comfort (Plymouth County deed 14:154). It included a 5-acres house lot where he built his home on the south side of South Avenue, across from the mill, an 80 acre parcel including some good farmland in the vicinity of the present Plymouth and Pleasant streets in Whitman, and 10 acres of swamp land adjacent to the Schumastuscacant River, called Bear Meadow.
John probably left Little Comfort and returned to Weymouth, Massachusetts, from where he took to the sea, and in 1702 was listed as the Captain of the 40-ton brigantine, “John,” a coastal boat registered out of Boston. John and his boat were never heard from again; it is presumed they were lost at sea.
After John Gurney’s disappearance, his five children inherited his estate, which they later sold to their cousins Joseph, Zechariah, and Nathan Gurney, children of Zechariah Gurney. That estate was divided into six parts. John Gurney’s oldest son, Richard, received a double share which was usual in those days. Richard sold his one third share to his cousin, Joseph Gurney, on 23 May 1719 (Plymouth Co. deed 14:215). Daughters Elizabeth and Mary and their husbands, sold their combined one third share to their cousin, Zechariah, Jr., on 2 February 1720/1 (Plymouth Co. deed 27:85). David Gurney sold his one sixth share to his cousin, Nathan Gurney, on 14 February 1727 (Plymouth Co. deed 37:85). John Gurney, Jr. probably sold one sixth share to his cousin, Nathan Gurney (or at least to cousin Zechariah or Joseph Gurney, since the three brothers divided up the property amongst themselves and settled on it).
B. Wife: Elizabeth
Green
Born 5 October 1664 at Weymouth, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Whitman) Green. Of interest, Joseph Green’s will of 8 September 1691 mentions “my daughter, Elizabeth Gurney.” Widow Elizabeth (Green) Gurney married (2nd), as his (2nd) wife, Timothy Cooper of Easton, Massachusetts on 16 October 1706 and resided there. Timothy’s 1st wife was Elizabeth’s cousin, Elizabeth Whitman.
C. Children:
1. Elizabeth Gurney: Born 5 May 1689 at Weymouth, Massachusetts. Married Ephraim Randall of Easton, Massachusetts and resided there.
2. Mary Gurney: Probably born at Little Comfort. Married Daniel Owen of Easton and resided there.
3. Richard Gurney: Probably born at Little Comfort.
4. David Gurney: Probably born at Little Comfort. Later moved to Easton, Massachusetts.
