Four brothers came to New England from Yorkshire during “the great Puritan migration.”.

Given the size of the parish of Halifax and the multiplicity of Barstow families therein, further research needs to be undertaken before we can identify the parents of Michael Barstow and his brothers.

So evidence is needed to support their parents as Isabella Barstow & Matthew Barstow, II and “placeholder” profiles of unknown Barstow and wife of unknown Barstow have been created ínstead.

The brothers were:

Michael Barstow about 1600 in Parish Shelf, Near Halifax, County York, Yorkshire, England; and died between 23 Jun 1674 (date will written) and 13 May 1676 (date of inventory) at Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony, New England. Name also seen as Miles Bastow. No known children.
William Barstow (surname spelled: Beresto) who at the age of 23 embarked with his brother George on September 20, 1635 for New England in the Truelove, (corrected from Bond p. 679) John Gibbs Master.[9] He was a single man at the time.[10] He first settled in Dedham and soon moved to Scituate. Farmer says he was admitted as freeman in 1649. He died in Dedham on January 1, 1668, leaving a widow Anna and 8 children: His daughter Deborah married Philip Shattuck on November 9, 1670; Joseph was baptized in Dedham on April 25, 1641; Mary was baptized January 2, 1642/3.
George Barstow (surname spelled: Beresto) who at age 21, with his brother William,[11] embarked for New England on September 20, 1635 in the Truelove, (corrected from Bond p. 679) John Gibbs, Master[12]He married Susannah, daughter of Deacon Thomas and Susanna Marrett of Cambridge. He was a householder and a member of the 2nd Church in 1652. In 1653 he returned to Cambridge and died March 18, 1653/4. He died "from the treatment he received from Mr. (afterwards President) Chauncy. His widow, Susannah, died the following month, April 17, 1654, leaving two children: Margaret born 1650, and George born March 1652.
John Barstow d. Feb. 13, 1657/8. At age 33 he drowned coming from Dedham, in the night after falling through the ice near Mr. Parker's farm. Widow: Hannah who after married ____ PRINCE. 3 sons - Michael b. 1653 at Watertown, m. Rebecca Traine, died 1698, had 1 daughter Hannah; John; Jeremiah, perhaps the one whom Deane (History of Scituate, p. 218) attributes to his brother William.

A lineage is seen as “MICHAEL MILES5 BARSTOW (MATTHEW4, MATHEW3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1).

George Barstow died "from the treatment he received from Mr. (afterwards President) Chauncy.”

Did George Barstow die as a result of a full immersion baptism?

“There is record of Margaret being baptized 24 Feb 1650 and George being baptized 12 Jun 1653.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chauncy

During his time at Plymouth and Scituate, Chauncy got into a heated debate with the religious and secular leaders of the Plymouth Colony over the issue of baptism. Chauncy taught that only baptism by full immersion was valid, while the Separatist Elders taught that sprinkling water over the body was just as valid. The sprinkling method of baptism was much preferred in New England due to its cooler and harsher climate. The religious leaders of the Plymouth Colony held public debates, trying to convince Chauncy to change his views. When Chauncy still did not change his views, the Pilgrim leaders wrote to congregations in Boston and New Haven soliciting their views, and all the congregations wrote back that both forms of baptism were valid. Still, Chauncy did not change his teachings. It was because of this issue that Chauncy left Plymouth for Scituate in 1641. A year after arriving in Scituate, Chauncy had a chance to practice what he preached, when he publicly baptized his twin sons by full immersion. The plan backfired when one of his sons passed out due to being dunked in the water. The mother of the child who was supposed be baptized at the same event refused to let it happen, and according to John Winthrop, got a hold of Chauncy and "near pulled him into the water". When Chauncy was hired to be President of Harvard, he had to promise the leaders in Boston that he would keep his views on baptism quiet.”

Hmm, it looks like disputation, not immersion?

1653: His brother William Barstow brought suit against Reverend Charles Chauncey of Scituate, whom William caused his brother George great grief and which hastened his Georg's death, by setting bulls upon the church at Cambridge, preventing his brother from communion with the church. William later was ordered by the court to retract his accusation. [7] [4]
