- Mariner/ship Master Boston, Suffolk, MA, MA/Samuel became master of the bark "Desire "
Captain Samuel Mayo was the eldest son of Rev. John Mayo and his wife Tamsin. He was born in England and came to New England with his mother and father and four other children in 1638, although the name of the ship is unknown. They settled in Barnstable.
Samuel Mayo was at least in his teens when the family moved to Barnstable in 1639, so he was probably born about 1620. He throve as a mariner. As soon as he could handle a boat, and knew how cod differ from hake, he setup in the fishing trade. He ran a packet for some time between the Cape and Boston. Samuel was ordained a teaching elder (minister) April 15, 1640 at Barnstable.
He married William Lumpkin's daughter Thomasine (Tamsin), of Yarmouth, born about 1625, who had the same given name as her own mother and her mother-in-law. In August, 1643, he was one of those between 16 and 60 in Barnstable able to bear arms. His wife joined the Barnstable church Jan. 20, 1650. In 1647 the town deeded him land for a fishhouse, on Crowell's Point below his dwelling. He had, beside fishing smacks, coasters, and ran a packet to Boston, long before Barnstable had her great fleet to make it the busiest port on Cape Cod.
