Disputes

He is sometimes said to have been born in 1618 at Brettenham, county Suffolk, England.[citation needed] He is said to have been the son of Henry Sandys and Elizabeth Goffe.[citation needed]

According to the Topographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants ... by Banks, Henry Sandys' home parish in England was Culford.[19] Culford Parish is in St Edmundsbury, Suffok, England, which is 16 miles from Brettenham. Unfortunately, like a lot of early 20th Century writers, Banks does not reveal his evidence for Culford as Henry's origin.
According to Patricia Hatcher writing for the Great Migration Newsletter, the surname is common at the Kirk Ella and Howden, towns in East Riding of Yorkshire, England. [2] These villages are near Rowley, East Riding of Yorkshire, the inspiration for the Ezekiel Rogers' Company naming of Rowley, Massachusetts.
