The Shapleighs of England and America (5032 words)
Alexander Shapleigh, ancestor of the Shapleighs in America, who settled in Kittery, Maine, in 1635, was a Merchant Venturer living in Kingsweare, England in the early 1600s.
Alexander Shapleigh, the pioneer of the American Branch of the Family, was born apparently at Kingsweare, about 1574, and was probably the son of Nicholas Shapleigh, of that place, but of this we are not quite sure.
Alexander could not call his estate Kittery Court, same as the English estate, for it consisted of eight hundred acres of timber land, but he named the house after the old house in England, and the name was preserved by his son Nicholas during his whole lifetime.
