Captain John Mason, one of the original patentees of New Hampshire, sent stewards and servants as early as 1631 to tame and settle the area around Strawberry Bank, later called Portsmouth, New Hampshire. One of these servants was John Ault [1] who according to his own deposition [2] was born in 1601.

Ault is a Scottish name signifying descendant of Ealda, which means old. This could indicate a Scottish origin for John Ault but as most of the servants and men sent to New Hampshire by Captain Mason were from England, this is probably the case with him also. John may have come from Braunston, Northumberland, England.
John Ault was of Portsmouth in 1631 but from all apparent records he moved that same year to a place on the Piscataqua River known as Dover but shortly thereafter had settled at Oyster River. Oyster River, now called Durham, Strafford, New Hampshire, was then part of the township of Dover.
In a deposition with reference to the Lamprey River taken October 18, 1652, John Ault "sayeth that in the yere 1635, that the land about the Lampreel River was bought of the Indians and made use of by the men of Dover and myselfe both for planting and fishing a feling of Timber." Signed John Ault [3]

Remembrance Tibbetts came from London in the "James" in July of 1635 with Henry Tibbetts and his family. Henry was very likely her brother. Remembrance was twenty-eight at the time and was employed by Mr. Thomas Wiggins. She moved to Dover (now Durham) in 1638. [4]
[4] Charles Henry Pope, The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire (Baltimore: The Genealogical Publishing Company, 1965), page 7.
Dover was settled in 1623 and early adopted a form of town and provincial government of its own. Dover was annexed to Massachusetts by vote of its citizens on October 9, 1641. The early town and provincial books were destroyed soon after its annexation. Dover's oldest town book now in existence was started on December 27, 1647 and contains town tax rates. John Ault was taxed on October 19, 1648. [5]

Remembrance Tibbetts moved to Durham on December 14, 1638 (as noted above by year). Shortly after that, but possibly as much as two years later, she married John Ault. In 1645 the two of them sued Mr. Wiggins for wages due to her up to her move to Piscataqua. "At a Court holden at Dover, 10th day, 7 month where as upon a complaint of John Awite (Ault) and Remembrance, his wife, against Captain Thomas Wiggins for wages due to his wife before she came to Pascatquacke, New England, being on the 14th December, 1638; and in as much as it was proved by oath of Henry Tybbetts that her time of service did begin the 1st of Marche, before she came over to New England, yt was threfore ordered by ye sd Court that the sd Remembrance shall have such wages due unto her from sd 1st of March until ye sd 14th of December."
John and Remembrance lived at Durham most of their lives after 1640. John was a constable of the town in 1650. In 1650 and 1660 he was on the Grand Jury. In 1657 he and Richard York administered the estate of George Bronson who had been gored to death by a bull. John and his wife deeded lands to their three daughters in 1669, 1672, and 1674. [6]
[6] Pope, ibid.
When John Ault divided up his estate he gave half of the original estate which he had settled at Oyster River to his son-in-law John Rand, husband of Remembrance. This farm lay between Long Creek and the next brook north called in ancient deeds Plum Swamp Brook. The conveyance was made April 21, 1674 and consisted of "all ye place or plantation whereon I now live." [See the map in Photographs for reference to this location.]
"On November 17, 1718, John Rand, son of the John Rand, who with wife Remembrance, was probably killed by Indians in the massacre of September 29, 1691 [see Rand history], conveyed to Francis Mathes thirty acres of "Rand's Plantation," 'on the northwest side of ye Little Bay,' between John Edgerly's land on the south and John Ambler's land on the north.
"November 26, 1720, John Runnels sold to John Ambler land which John Ault gave to his son-in-law, John Rand and wife, Remembrance, in 1674, which land Runnels bought of Nathaniel Rand and Francis Rand. [7]

"In August, 1912, Hon. Lucien Thompson and myself carefully explored this region. We found what seems to have been the landing place at the mouth of Long Creek, on the north side, where in later times bricks were made. The mill dam may have been that of a tide mill, at the very mouth of the creek, where upright ledges form natural abutments and where a dam could have been built at little expense. The supply of water from tide and brooks would have been abundant for those times. An excavation on the hilltop, probably marks the site of the Edgerly garrison, burned in 1694. The pasture land around it is now overgrown with small pines and bushes, yet traces of the old road from the landing to the main road are easily discovered. Walking in a northerly direction over this wooded and hilly pasture one comes to a large field of the John Emerson farm, where Mr. Bela Kingman has a camp. In the southeast corner of that field, a few rods from the shore, not far from a fine spring of water, is a depression that marks the cellar of the house built by John Ault, given to his son-in-law, John Rand, and used as the garrison of this region after 1694. A portion of a brick was found near the surface.
"On the 17th of the 4th month, 1667, Thomas Seabrook and wife, Mary, conveyed to John Ault, for twelve pounds paid by Thomas Edgerly, all right, title, and interest in 'all such lands that John Hill did purchase of Thomas Footman, did purchase and pass over to Richard Bray, situate & lying in ye Little Bay on ye south west side of ye Brooke wch runneth between ye lot of sd Richard and ye Lott of Thomas Humphreys near John Aults land with ten acres of land more ajoyning to the land aforsd.'" (New Hampshire Deeds, III, 149a) [8]

On June 26, 1656, John took an oath of loyalty. He was still living in 1679 but it isn't known when either he or his wife died. [9] He deposed on March 2, 1677/1678, age about seventy-three (Norfolk Record). [10]
