Note on Husband: John ILSLEY - shared note
from Woodbridge and Vicinity, Joseph Dally, 1873, page 37-38
On the 1st of June it was "granted to Elisha Ilsley to be as inhabitant and to have accommodations equal with other inhabitants, he engaging to come and settle by Michaelmas next, except he be disappointed for want of an opportunity; if so, then to make use of the first opportunity that shall present." Elisha was a brother to John Ilsley, both of whom, according to Whitehead (who refers to Coffin's "History of Newbury", in Massachusetts. They are the ancestors of the Inslees of the present day* (many of whom are now living in Woodbrdge), as well as of the Ilslys in different parts of the State. There is a tradition, which may or may not be true, that they came over in the old ship "Caledonia," the wreck of which, for many years, was seen on the shore at Perth Amboy, by some who are yet living. It is said that, driven by persecution, the Ilslys, with other dissenters, were compelled to flee from their homes, which were either in England or the north of Scotland, and were allowed by their enemies to depart only because they embarked on the unseaworthy "Caledonia," which was confidently expected to founder at sea and engulf the sturdy heretics. But lo! they came safely into harbor! before they landed, however, the Dutch captain proceeded to bind them over as servants to the planters in the vicinity, according to custom, until certain real or fancied debts in the old country had been discharged. A Mrs. Ilsly, filled with indignation, seized a bar of iron and, flourishing it over the captain's head, declared with emphasis that she and the rest had fled from tyranny at home to find quiet in the new land; and that she would not submit to slavery right on the borders of freedom. The doughty captain was cowed by the determination of the brave woman, and saved his head by landing his passengers without the indentures having been executed.
* For proof of this we refer to the Town Records, Liber B, page 117, where a deed for certain lands is signed by "William Insly" and John Inslee" -- the two men signing differently, as is shown by the quotation marks. This paper is very old, being dated 1714; from which we infer that the name for "Inslee" is synonymous with the more ancient "Ilsley."
