Father may be John b. 1565, Surrey, John's father was Robert, b. 1540, Bermondsey, Surrey?

William Learned, the emigrant, was admitted freeman in the colony, May 14, 1634. On Apr. 26, 1638, he was chosen one of a committee of six who were desired to consider of some things tending toward a body of Lawes. Dec. 18, 1640, he signed at Charlestown the Town Orders for Woburn and was one of the first seven members of the church in Woburn, gathered Aug. 14, 1642. He was one of the first board of selectmen chosen Apr. 13, 1643, and again Feb. 9, 1644-5. At the same time he was elected constable (that official being, at that time, also tax-collector), and remained in office until his death, Mar. 1, 1646-7.

The following is from "The Great Migration Begins" by Robert Charles Anderson
WILLIAM LEARNED

On 13 January 1636/7 Charlestown selectmen "agreed to allow Goodman Learned a portion of marsh by his house agreed upon by Goodmaan Richeson & Goodman W[illia]m Baker for his haylot by Mr. Gibbons's which he yieldeth up to the town" [ChTR 24].

In the Charlestown land inventory of 1638 "William Lernett" held seven parcels of land: "three acres of arable land and meadow ... with a dwelling house"; "four acres of arable land ... in the East Field"; three and three-quarters cow commons; "two acres of meadow ... in Mystic Marshes"; "five acres of woodland ... in Mystic Field"; "fifteen acres of woodland ... in Mystic Field"; and "forty acres of land ... in Rock Field" [ChBOP 25].

When Gardy James sold land to Rowland Layhorn on 28 March 1649 James recited that the five acre lot had been bought by him from John Power, hosier, "who had it of William Mirable, and he had it of Georg. Michel, who had it of William Learned, which was the first proprietor" [ChBOP 101].

(2) Jane _____ ("Sarah [sic] Learned, widow," died at Woburn on 24 January 1660[/1]; in March following the "inventory of the estate of the widow Jane Learned deceased in Malden" was taken, and administration was granted on 2 April 1661 to Ralph Shepard [MPR Case #13856; William Law Learned, The Learned Family ... Being Descendants of William Learned ... (Albany 1882), pp. 8-10]).

On 16 November 1637 "Will[iam] Larnet acknowledged his fault in subscribing the seditious writing [in favor of Rev. John Wheelwright], & desiring his name to [be] crossed out, it was yielded him, & crossed" [MBCR 1:208].

Some sources state that a Sarah "Leonarde" baptized on 30 September 1604 at Ware, Hertfordshire, was the first daughter of the immigrant, but the date of this baptism precedes the only known marriage of William Learned by two years, and the surname in the Ware baptism is not one of the usual variants of Learned.

Because there was a JOHN HALL in Charlestown with wife Bethia some years earlier than the marriage of Elizabeth Learned to a John Hall of Charlestown, the suggestion has been made that one John Hall married successively the sisters Bethia and Elizabeth Hall.  This hypothesis has two fatal flaws.  First, marriages between a widowed man and his first wife's sister were considered incestuous in seventeenth-century New England, and only one or two instances are known.  Second, the JOHN HALL with wife Bethia had moved to Cape Cod before the marriage between John Hall and Elizabeth Learned; these were two different John Halls.

Goodeth GILLMAN ¹ was born ² about 1586 in Bermondsey, Surrey, England, United Kingdom. She died on 24 Jan 1660/1661 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Goodeth married ^{3, 4} William LEARNED on 22 Apr 1606 in St Olave, Southwork, Surrey, England, United Kingdom.

Isaac STEARNS [scrapbook] ^{1, 2, 3} was born ⁴ on 25 Feb 1601 in England, United Kingdom. He died ⁵ on 19 Jun 1671 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Isaac married ^{6, 7} Mary BARKER ⁸ on 20 May 1622 in Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom.

ISAAC STEARNS of Higham, Suffolk, was born about 1590. On 20 May 1622 at Stoke Nayland, the adjacent parish he married Mary Barker of Nayland. She was the daughter of John and Margaret (Walter) Barker of Nayland. Mary's father, John Barker, was buried 19 June 1617 at Nayland and shortly thereafter her mother, the widow Margaret, remarried to one Munnings of Gaines Colne, now  known as Colne Engaine, which is about 10 miles to the west and across the Stour River into Essex. This is learned from the records of Thomas Lechford:

Isaacke Sterne of Watertown. planter, sometime of Stoke Nayland, Suffolk, tayler, & Mary his wife, daughter of John Barker late of Stoke. Nayland, clothier, deceased, makes a letter of attorney to Thomas Gilson of Sudbury, Suffolk, baker, to receive & recover of & from _______________ Mummings of Gaynes Colne, Essex, yeoman, £5 due unto her by some bond or agreement made by the sd ___________Mummings before or after his marriage with Margaret Barker, mother of sd Mary (Lechford's Notebook)

Isaac Stearns came to New England in the Winthrop Fleet on the ship "Arabelle" with Gov. Winthrop and Sir Richard Saltostall. On the morning of 8 April 1630, the first five ships set sail from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. and arrived at Salem on the 12th of June. The other six ships of the Winthrop Fleet sailed in May and arrived in July, bringing altogether about 700 passengers. Not being satisfied with the prospects of Salem, the colonists soon moved on to Charlestown and thence to Watertown where they settled. Isaac Stearns settled near Mount Auburn. In 1642, his homelot was bounded on the north by the land of John Warren, on the west by the highway, on the south by the land of John Biscoe, and on the east by Pequusett Meadow, a part of which meadow he owned. In the distribution of the estate of his son Samuel in 1724, this homelot where his grandfIther had lived, was asàigned to the eldest son Nathaniel. Probably all the families of the name Steams in the United are descended from three early immigrants, viz. Isaac br.Charles, who settled in Watertown. or Nathaniel, who settled in Dedham. Isaac, in his will, calls Charles my kinsman. Probably Nathaniel was also related. Isaac Stearns was admitted a freeman on 18 May 1631, and he was a selectman for several years.

On 4 December 1638, Isaac Stearns and John Page were fined 5 shillings for turning the way about (i.e. changing the highway). In 1647, he and Briscoe were appointed by the selectmen to consider how the bridge over the river shall be built, and to agree with the workmen for doing it, according to their best discretion. This was the first mention of a bridge over the Charles River in Watertown. Isaac Steams died 19 June 1671, leaving a widow Mary, who died 23 April 1677.

His will, dated five days before his death, and with his autograph signature, is extant in the Middlesex Probate office. I. Isaac Sternes. of Watertown in the County of Middlesex, being sick in body, but though the goodness of God in sound memory, do declare this to be my last Will and Testament, in the manner and form as followeth:

6thly-I give to my grandchildren, the children of my daughter Mary, deceased, five and thirty pounds: my grandchild, Isaac Lernot, to have ten pounds of the said 35 pounds--the remainder, which will be twenty-five pounds, to be equally divided to the rest; which said thirty five pounds being added to what I formerly gave my daughter. Mary Lernot, will be an equal proportion with the rest of my children.
7thly-l give to rny daughter Sarah Stone, forty pounds, which being added to what she formerly had, will be her proportion.

Masons: and besides the meadow, give to my said daughter Abigail. forty pounds. all which being added to what she have had forrnerly, will be her proportion.
10thly-My will is, that my kinsman Charles Sternes, shall have ten pounds of my estate. Further, my will is, that my whole estate remain whole and unbroken for comfort and maintainance of my beloved wife, as said above, so long as she doth remain a widow save only the five acres of meadow given to my daughter Abigail, which she is to enjoy presently.

ffurther. I nominate and appoint my beloved sons. Isaac Sternes and Samuel Sternes. executors, to this my last Will and Testament, and have hereunto set my -hand. this fourteenth day of June. one thousand six hundred and seventy-one, in presence of.

William fond. Sen'r John Briscoe. Sen'r

The appraisal of his estate indicates he was comparatively affluent for his time, considering that he had previously given respectable portions to each of his seven living children. It included 14 parcels of land of 467 acres total, plus stock, fanning utensils, provisions and household goods.
