72 Hezikiah Allen's will in 1776 mentioned a child Catharine per book 'annals of the sinnott, roger, coffin, corlies, reeves, bodine and allied families'. citation monmouth county probate files.
Granvyl Hulse writes 'Catharine is reportedly the daughter of hezikiah Allen born 1716/20 in Shrewsbury,,,he was the son of Jonathon and Mary Corlies Allen both of Shrewsbury' but I have no citation on that.

Found a summarized transcription of aforementioned will on Hezikiah Allen of Shrewsbury Township dated 29 feb 1776. in 'The literary era: a monthly repository of literary and ..., Volume 3' no date of probate. liber 17, no page #, west jersey. perhaps there is another record when the will was proved?

So at this point we have no real evidence that our catharine is the daughter of hezikiah allen.

OneWorldTree shows catharine dau of hezekiah allen married unknown Hulse.

1776, Feb 29. Allen, Hezekiali, of Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth County; will of. Grandson, David Allen, £1. Daughters, Mary Allen and Martha Allen, all my wool now on the sheeps' backs. Rest of estate to be sold. Son, James. £10. Son, Jonathon, £10. Children-Mary Allen, James Allen, Jonathon Allen, Catharine Allen and Martha Allen, the rest. Executors-friends, Edward Patterson Cook and Benjamin Jackson. Witnesses-Christopher Romine, John Lawrence. Proved May 28, 1776. Lib 21, P. 91.

I am troubled by the fact that she was referred to as Catharine Allen, not Catharine Hulse in spite of being married for about 9 years at the time.

As this is all the real evidence we have, we would have to be leaning against this being the correct person.
 
CATHARINE ALLEN
 
73 I can find no written record of Mary Wilder marrying David Allen. David Allen
 
74 I have shown that the Samuel Allen who married Lydia Hastings is not the same Samuel Allen who is the father of Elizabeth. his daughter Elizabeth has a different birthday, lives in a different town and has a different husband. This line shows up in the on-line family trees and the OneWorldTrees, but it is proven to be incorrect. The details are as follows.

Baker in "Montville" shows that Lydia Hastings, dau of John Seaborn Hastings and Lydia Champney, married Samuel Allen of Massachusetts. They had a daughter Elizabeth Allen b. abt 1716 who married Jedidiah Graves. The Barbour Collection shows Elizabeth Allen married Jedidiah Graves June 1737 in East Haddam, Connecticut. The only way to reconcile this would be to say that Baker has the birth date of Elizabeth wrong and that she first married Samuel in 1732 and secondly married Jedidiah in 1737. BUT, according to The Barbour Collection Samuel Dewey and Elizabeth were continuing to have children until 1742, which means she could not have married Jedediah in 1737, thus she is a different person.
 
ELIZABETH ALLEN
 
75 The following writeup has been copied from: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jacmac/allen.htm

George Allen, the immigrant ancestor of many of the Allen families found in America today, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony on 6 May 1635 from England. George's name, along with the names of those he emigrated with (106 in all), was discovered on a list of passengers who departed from Weymouth, England for the New World on 20 March 1635. Unfortunately, the name of the ship they traveled aboard has never been determined. This party, which was under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull, was granted leave to settle at Wessaguscus Plantation on 8 July 1635 by the General Court at Boston. Wessaguscus was soon given municipal rights, at which time it was renamed Weymouth, and its inhabitants were allowed representation in the General Court at Boston.

Although it is not known for sure, George Allen may have been born in either Somersetshire, or Dorsetshire, England, or have at least resided in one of these places prior to emigrating. Lending some support for this belief is the fact that the Rev. Hull, and many of the other families that emigrated with George, appear to have been from one of these shires. Although George Allen is known to have married twice while still residing in England, the name of his first wife has not been determined. His second wife, however, was a woman named Katherine. Katherine accompanied George to America, and is believed to have been the mother of his five youngest children. According to the roster of passengers making up the Hull party, Katherine was listed as being thirty years old in 1635, thereby indicating that she had probably been born in about 1605 in England.

(NOTE: Although one commonly sees postings and family write-ups that indicate that our George Allen is the George Allen who married as his second wife, Katherine Starkes, on 5 November 1624 in All Hallows Church, Honey Lane, London, I know of absolutely no documentation that would support that this is the same George Allen. On the contrary, there is evidence that suggests that this George Allen was the son of Richard Allen of the Tower of London, and that he was still residing in London, England as late as 1640, when he was mentioned in his brother, Henry's, will. This George Allen is also believed to be the same George Allen who died at St. Michael Queenhithe, London on 26 March 1664.

In addition to the above, it has also been accepted by some that our George Allen was the son of John Allen of Saltford in Somersetshire, England. As with the above assertion, there is absolutely no evidence that I know of to substantiate this. There is, however, strong evidence that indicates that this George Allen was still residing at Saltford in 1638, when he was involved in a court case regarding tenements in the Tything of Saltford. By 1638, our George Allen was already well established at Sandwich on Cape Cod. Aside from the fact that a person named George Allen was identified as living in Saltford, England during the 1630's, any connection to our George Allen appears to be based more on conjecture than supportable facts.

The same also appears to be true regarding the assertion that our George Allen was the son of Ralph Allen of Thurcaston, England. Even though there were two individuals named Ralph Allen who were associated with our George Allen in New Plymouth Colony, I am not aware of any evidence, other than name similarity, to support this contention either).

Although no records have been found to verify it, shortly after settling at Wessaguscus (Weymouth), George and his family may have moved to the village of Saugus, Massachusetts (now Lynn, Massachusetts). Sometime during the period 1637/38, however, George and his family again moved, this time to the newly organized settlement in New Plymouth Colony of Sandwich on Cape Cod. George, who was a farmer by trade, was subsequently recommended for "freeman" status in New Plymouth Colony on 5 March 1638/39, and was later admitted as such on 3 September 1639. George was later sworn in as the Constable of Sandwich on 4 June 1639, and served as Surveyor of Highways in 1640. He also served as a Committeeman for the New Plymouth Court in 1640, 1641, 1642, and 1644.

George apparently died during the latter part of April 1648 at Sandwich, New Plymouth Colony, as he was subsequently buried there on 2 May 1648. George's will was later probated before the New Plymouth Court on 7 June 1648, and one year later, on 8 June 1649, his widow, Katherine, furnished an inventory of George's estate to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after George passed away, Katherine married for a second time to a man named John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.

Although the identities of all of George's children have never been determined beyond all doubt, the names of eight children have been verified through various documents. In addition to these eight, it is highly probable that three other individuals, namely John, Robert, and Francis Allen, are also sons of George. Aside from those children that are known and very probable, some researchers also believe that the Joan Allen who married Clement Briggs at Dorchester in 1630/31, and the Joshua Allen who married Mary Crowell at Yarmouth in 1671, are also George's children. After spending considerable time researching these two individuals, I am not convinced that they are George’s children, and have therefore not included them in this genealogy.

It should also be mentioned that the "five least children" that George referred to in his will have not been verified beyond all doubt either. However, these children, who have been interpreted by most authorities to be the children George Allen had with his second wife, Katherine, are strongly believed to be Matthew, William, Henry, Samuel, and Gideon.

78 Ralph Allen, Mason, of Sandwich shows in Sandwich records with children Jedidiah, Experience and Ephraim and probably died in late 1659. Ralph Allen, wheelwright, of Sandwich in his will of 18 Dec 1691 shows children of John, Joseph, Increase, Ebenezer, Zachariah and Patience and this other Ralph Allen was the son of George Allen-the immigrant, of Sandwich. This per The Great Migration by Robert Charles Anderson. Anderson states that Ralph Allen, Mason, is probably related in some way to George Allen, but not as son. Ralph Allen
 
79
Some on-line trees shows Samuel's parents as Joshua Allen and Mary Crowell. But this is disproved by NEHGR 1971 P232-233-"Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth, Mass." According to cemetery inscriptions from "History of Ancient Windham" the family plot shows their son Samuel died at Coventy, Ct 14 Oct 1718; whereas our Samuel was having children in Lebanon Ct until 1729 thus proving that these are different persons.

Many other on-line genealogies show this Samuel Allen marrying Lydia Hastings, dau of John Seaborne Hastings. But the children do not match up. So that is incorrect also.

I am unable to find a birth record for Yarmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts in 1675 as many on-line genealogies show. So I do not have a verified place of birth or date of birth.

1920 census he is lsited as a nephew to the head of household, Hiram & Julia Overmire. According to oneworldtree Hirams wife is Julia Bills. The Bills are related to Roy's mother, which could explain the relationship. So this is probably the right person on the 1920 census. His other siblings are all with different people in 1920.

98 1775 Census Revision for Schilling states Konrad Bell, Bachelor, age 25 "farms with the aid of relatives" The 1775 revision list for Schilling furthur notes that Konrad Bell, along with 2 other bachelors "Assigned to the colonies as laborers. According to testimony of the community they came alone to Russian and did not receive loans for farming. They were living in Lesnoy Karamysh (Grimm) with Grimm. They were in the colony of Gololobovka (Doenhof) and kinder (?) in that colony. They are currently engaged in farming, and with time will marry. Upon entering the economy they hope to be able to pay their debts. They are currently unable to assume the responsibility."
 
KONRAD BELL
 
99 Konrad Bell appears on the 1798 Kukkus Census in household #7 with his wife Margareta Heisner (perhaps Geisner)(from Schilling). His birthdate is 1750. He has one daughter Maria Barbara from a prior deceased wife.

Bell does not appear to be a common name in the Volga Colonies. A check of the Kuhlberg Lists shows 1 Bell, Konrad Bell, a single man, from Stolberg, a servant of Ludwig Hoff, doc #1656.

A check of the index of first settler lists does not show any Bell's. However a Bell does show up on the 1775 census revision for Schilling (Schilling does not have a 1st Settler List). the 1775 Census Revision for Schilling states Konrad Bell, bachelor, born 1750, "farms with the aid of relatives"
It would appear that Konrad Bell was perhaps the only Bell to immigrate to the Volga Colonies, or at least one of very few.

The 1775 revision list for Schilling furthrr notes that Konrad Bell, along with 2 other bachelors "Assigned to the colonies as laborers. According to testimony of the community they came alone to Russia and did not receive loans for farming. They were living in Lesnoy Karamysh (Grimm) with Grimm. They were in the colony of Gololobovka (Doenhof) and kinder (?) in that colony. They are currently engaged in farming, and with time will marry. Upon entering the economy they hope to be able to pay their debts. They are currently unable to assume the responsibility."

The 1798 census from Brent Mai's book listing all of the census records from 1798 shows only two Bell families, Konrad Bell in Kukkus and another Bell in Dinkel. The goal of this line of reasoning is to show that if we find any Bell's in Kukkus they are almost certainly without a doubt descendants of Konrad Bell.

In the 1834 census we do not find Konrad Bell, but we do find 3 Bell children all born between 1803 and 1810. Johannes, Konrad and Johann Philipp. They are living in the household of Philipp Neidhardt in 1816 (per the 1834 census-see household #102-P28) as step-children from his deceased wife. Based on our reasoning above we can conclude the following:

" These 3 children are sons of Konrad Bell.
" Konrad Bell died between 1810 and 1816.
" His widow Margareta Geisner remarried Philipp Neidhardt after 1810 and then herself died at some unknown date.

Continuing with the same reasoning, we can conclude that any Bells whom we find on the 1857 census are the 3 sons of Konrad and their descendants. On the 1857 census we find the following Bell's and the household #:

" #18 Christina age 23 (spouse of Christian Reitz)
" #33 Maria Margaretha age 30 (spouse of Konrad Baum)
" #47 Konrad age 51 (one of the sons) along with 9 children and grand children
" #49 Johannes age 54 (one of the sons) along with 6 children and grand children
" #70 Phillip age 48 (one of the sons) along with 8 children and grand children
" #98 Anna Elisabeth age 26 (spouse of Johannes Heizenrader)
" #103 Katharina Margaretha age 26 (spouse of Andreas Maser)

Of the 4 females listed Christina born in 1834 does not appear on the 1834 census. Katharina Margaretha appears as the daughter of Johannes born 1830. Katharina Margaretha appears also as the daughter of Johannes born 1830. Maria Margaretha appears also as the daughter of Johannes born 1827.

103 Edmund Bridges was born about 1612 in England. His parentage or birth location in England is not known. He came to colonial America on 13 July 1635 on the ship "James", which sailed from London, and he settled in Lynn, Massachusetts.

He may have been married first to Alice ______, but there is no confirmed record of this spouse. He married Elizabeth ________by 1636 (GM:1-390). Perhaps Elizabeth and Alice were the same person. His first known child was born 1637. He had 8 children with Elizabeth (or Elizabeth/Alice)

A marriage at St Johns in London, England between Edmund Bridges and Elizabeth Manwaring appears to be of different persons. A child was born 12 Aug 1640 of this couple in England. As this is 5 years after he arrived in America, this is obviously a different person. We see this information in some on-line trees.

Elizabeth died 31 Dec 1664. Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to1700 shows 1st wife of Alice ?Millinton (died after 1641+) with the question mark and with the notation that Alice and Elizabeth may be the same.

He married next to Mary Langton, widow of Richard Littlehale, on 6 April 1665 (GM:1-390) in Ipswich. He had one child with Mary.

Edmund Bridges was a blacksmith by trade. He settled first in Lynn. His name appears in records for Saugus, Rowley, Topsfield and Ipswich.

Although his will was proved in Ipswich, he may have died in Lynn, as that is where he lived at the time. His death date was 13 Jan 1684-85.

Edmund Bridges had connections to two accused witches in Salem. His son, Edmund, married Sarah Towne (Sarah's sister, Rebecca Towne Nurse was hanged for witchcraft) who was later accused of witchcraft. She spent less than one year in prison before being released. His son Josiah, married Ruth Greenslade, whose mother Ann Pudeator (Pudeator being the surname of Ann's second husband) was hanged in 1692 for witchcraft.

We cannot be sure if he married in New England or came over with his wife, but his first child was born in America. Obviously his wife was an immigrant also, but we have no details on when she arrived other than before 1636.

Copies of his will are on file.

109 MINERVA BURDICK

We have been unable to find any record of her parentage. They were many Burdick familes in New York and even in Warren County at the approximate time of her birth.

Her daughter Minerva Martha gives parents on death certificate of Frederick Plum and Minerva Burdick. Which would imply birth name is Burdick, 1st husband is Plum and 2nd husband is Phelps. As Minerva Martha was born to Minerva and 1st husband in 1838, that would imply that marriage to Norman Phelps would be after 1838. Which would fit with marriage date of 1842 which is implied by 1855 NY census. Therefore marriage date of 1834 given on the phelpsinc.com website has to be incorrect. Perhaps that is the date of her first marriage.

1855 New York Census has Minerva living in Washington County for past 13 years and her husband Norman, Jr living there for 62 years. That implies that Minerva did not marry Norman until at least 1842 when she moved to Washington County. That calculation also fits in with their first child being born in Dec 1842.

We have birth years running from 1801 to 1811 from various census records. We are using 1803 as that is what is on her gravestone. Although, we have no evidence that is correct.

1865 Washington County census says she had 10 children (but we believe that actually refers to Norman, not to her).
 
MINERVA BURDICK
 
110 John Burrows was born at Wethersfield, Hartford County, CT in 1642. He was the son of Robert and Mrs. Mary (Ireland) Burrows. He was married in New London County, CT on 14 December 1670 to Hannah Culver. Hannah was the daughter of Edward and Ann Ellis Culver. She was born 11 Apr 1651 and died abt. 1731. John Burrows became a freeman in October 1669 at New London, CT. The part of New London that he lived in became Groton in 1705. He was the sole heir of his father and inherited a large amount of land.
John and Hannah Burrows became members of the First Congregational Church of Stonington, CT on 3 January 1685/86. The members who lived long distances from the church petitioned for a site for a church on the Groton side of the river. The pastor, Rev. Saltonstall opposed this and the differences became bitter. John Burrows must have been on who opposed the pastor's views, because there is a record "John Burrows was re-admitted July 20, 1701, having been suspended for offense to Mr. Saltonstall".
On 12 February 1716, John Burrows died at Groton, CT without leaving a will. He had previously given his large land holdings to his son, John. His inventory was valued at 249 pounds, 6 shillings and 4 pence. Among the items found in the inventory of his estate was "1 bedd and beding for the negro Gearle". John is buried in the Wightman Burying Ground at Groton, CT. His grave is covered with a large flat stone known as a "wolf stone" to keep the grave from being dug up by animals.

111 Robert Burrows was born in England. His parents are not known. He was married about 1641 at Wethersfield, CT to Mrs. Mary Ireland , widow of Samuel Ireland. She was born about 1605 and died 3 October 1672 at Mystic, CT.

Robert came to America on the "Arbella" in 1630 with a group of Puritans on the flagship of Winthrop's Fleet. Tradition has said that he had been driven out of Manchester, England with his two brothers, John and William because of religious persecution due to their being Baptists. Supposedly, one brother settled in New York and the other in Pennsylvania. No basis has been found for this tradition.

Another theory on his birthplace is that because of his friendship with Robert Parke who also came on the "Arbella" and who came from Lancaster County, England, that this may have been his home. He was apparently also on close terms with Governor Winthrop of Connecticut who often visited him in Mystic.

In 1639, Robert Burrows settled in Wethersfield, CT. He was a carpenter by trade. He moved to Mystic CT and in 1660 was appointed by the General Court of Connecticut as the ferryman across the Mystic River. He ranked third in that town in the amount of taxable property held. Robert Burrows died in August 1682. There is no record of his burial.

Most of the above information comes from the book “Robert Burrows and Descendants” by R Earl Burrows 1975.

From Scots-Irish in Va.-Vol-2: David Caruthers filed a marriage bond to Elizabeth Jackson, dau of David Jackson on 14 March 1786.

From Virginia Marriages to 1800: David Caruthers married Elizabeth Jackson on 18 March 1786 in Augusta County, Virginia.

From Virginia Bond, Marriage, Probate Records 1639-1850: The will of David Caruthers dated 25 May 1810 in Augusta County, Virginia mentions wife Elizabeth, sons John and James and oldest daughter Jean. Book WB12-164 Prove Date 27 May 1816

From his obituary John Caruthers was born in Augusta County, Virginia 4 July 1793.

Therefore, we know that David of Augusta County, Virginia had a son named John sometime after 1786. We know that our John was born 4 Jul 1793 in Augusta County, Virginia. But is there any information to show that they are the same person?

After studying Census and Tax lists for Augusta County (details follow) it would appear that there were at most two Caruthers families in Augusta County-The David Caruthers family and the Thomas Caruthers family. We do not see another John as a head of household. Therefore, it would appear likely that there was only one John in Augusta County during this time period.

1790 US Census: Unfortunately the Virginia census records for this year is missing. A reconstructed Tax list for 1790 http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/ shows David Caruthers in Augusta County.

1800 US Census: Unfortunately the Virginia census records for this year is missing. A reconstructed Tax list for 1800 http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/ shows David Caruthers in Augusta County and Thomas Caruthers in Augusta County.

1810 US Census: David Caruthers in Augusta and Thomas Careathers in Augusta

1820 US Census: Elizabeth Caruthers in Stanton, Augusta County and John Careathers in Waynesboro, Augusta County. (1 male 26-44 and 1 female 26-44 is consistent with his just marrying Nancy Brown earlier in 1820.)

The date of birth of all David's children is not known. However David's will shows two sons, the eldest born 1786 and one eldest daughter, Jean, birth unknown. He mentions the other daughters would receive bequests as they come of age. Which would imply they were born after 1794, as the will is dated 1810. So, if James was the oldest child, David's birth date was probably 1766 or before. Which means he was aged at least 50 or more when he died in 1816. This would change to an older age if Jean was the oldest child or if he had started having children later in life.

DAVID CARUTHERS

>>Saturday, 17 Jan 1857<<

>AT IOWA HILL, a few days since, a miner by name of David CARUTHERS was killed by the caving of a tunnel. He was said to be a very worthy man and leaves a wife to mourn his loss. 
David Caruthers
 
126 Augusta County marriage records show that he married Margret Jackson on 17 Dec 1805.

Revolutionary War Pension for James Caruthers, as found on footnote.com shows he entered the service from Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia, although he later moved to Blount County, Tennessee. He was born 5 April 1760. He died 13 Jan 1846 and his widow Margaret (born 1 June 1769) applied for widow’s pension. The application states they married in 1806 in Augusta County, although no marriage record was able to be found in Augusta County at the time of the application. The information in this pension file is entirely consistent with the marriage record in Augusta County.

The pension file furthur states; “He was born in Chester County State of Pennsylvania on the 5th day of April in the year 1760. And at the early age of about 10 years moved with his father’s family to Augusta County, Virginia, where he resided at the time he was called into service.”

The 1820 US Census shows Elizabeth Caruthers living in Staunton, Augusta County. We would assume that the family home was also in Staunton at the beginning of the revolution. (1810 census only gives County, 1800 and 1790 are lost)

It seems quite likely that these records all refer to the same person and the real question is; how is James Caruthers related to John? 33 years older than John would seem to rule out being a brother, perhaps James is a brother to David, his father. As to marrying a Jackson, did the two brothers marry two sisters? Also note the reference to Samuel Jackson in James Caruthers’ will. There was also a reference to a Samuel Jackson in David Caruthers will.

It would seem that it is extremely likely that this James is related to our David, perhaps as a brother, perhaps as a cousin?

128 James died without any children to survive him. Probate divided his property between his brothers and sisters.

A record exists of marriage of James Caruthers to Martha P Brooks 20 Dec 1830 in Augusta County, Virginia. This may be the same person.

130 An obituary from the Columbia Statesman 17 Dec 1880 recounts his life:
Died-Caruthers
On Saturday morning, Dec 11, 1880, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Lucy Watson, eight miles northwest of Columbia, Mo., Mr. John Caruthers in the 88th year of his age.
Mr. Caruthers was born in Augusta County, Va., and two miles from Tinkling Spring (Presbyterian) meeting house on July 4, 1793. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, served six months under Capt. Larue(?). Col. Lindsey, Gen. Porter, at Norfolk, Va., and was drawing a pension at the time of his death. In March, 1820 he married a Miss Nancy Brown, the daughter of a well-to-do farmer who lived about two miles from his father’s home, and settled on one hundred acres of land given him by his father. She died in 1827 leaving three children, a son and two daughters. The son, David, removed in early life to California, where he married and engaged in mining. He adopted the plan of tunneling for gold, and was quite successful. He would have accumulated a large fortune, but for an incident which resulted in his instant death. The supporting props of the walls of the tunnel gave way, crushing him to death between a mass of earth and stone. He left no family but his wife. One of the daughters, Mary married Moore Petty, Esq., a well-known and highly respected farmer, teacher and justice of the peace, who resides near Bethlehem Church, in the neighborhood of Harrisburg in this county. Martha, another daughter by his first marriage, married Mr. Ishmael Vanborn, a well-known and prosperous farmer who died several years ago, and who lived near Midway, on the Columbia and Rocheport turnpike. Mrs. Vanborn died before her husband, leaving two children, a son and a daughter.
In 1828 Mr. Caruthers married his second wife, Miss Ann Rhodes Martin, of Albemarle County, Virginia, by whom he had 12 children, seven of whom are living. Thomas H, the oldest, is married and lives on a farm seven miles northwest of Columbia and near where his father died. Andrew died in his eleventh year. Martin V is married and lives near Harrisburg, in this county. James K is married and lives on the farm formerly owned by his father-in-law, Alexander Douglas, Esq., five miles northwest of Columbia. William lives near Harrisburg. Julius is dead. His oldest daughter by the second marriage, Margaret, married Mr. John Richards, of Rocheport. Elizabeth, the second daughter, who died a few years ago, married Mr. Geo W Thurston, who lives near Midway. The third and youngest daughter, Lucy, married Mr. James Watson, deceased, who lived on an adjoining farm to his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas H Caruthers. It was at her house that the deceased died.
Mr. Caruthers emigrated to Missouri in the fall of 1832, coming with John Akeman from Bath County, Va. and living for the first four years on the farm now owned by Mr. Robert Scott, five miles west of Columbia. He afterwards purchased 160 acres of land on the old Sexton Road where it crosses the Perche, on which he lived for thirty years. The farm is now occupied by Mrs. Hezekial (Mullaline?). His last wife died in November 1850, but he did not break up housekeeping until 18??, since which time he has lived with his youngest daughter, Mrs. Lucy Watson.
In 1818 or 19 he united with the Presbyterian Church and died (knowing?) of the Peace to his ashes, as they rest in the family graveyard on the old homestead.

1820 US Census: Elizabeth Caruthers in Stanton, Augusta County and John Careathers in Waynesboro, Augusta County. (1 male 26-44 and 1 female 26-44 is consistent with his just marrying Nancy Brown earlier in 1820.)

135 Elizabeth Charde married Aaron Cooke in Thormcombe, Dorset (10 mi. NW of Bridport) 2 Sep 1610

At Bridport, 15 ½ miles west of Dorchester her first husband Aaron Cooke was buried on 28 Dec 1615.

Elizabeth Charde Cook, the widow of Aaron Cook, married Thomas Ford 19 Jun 1616 in Bridport.

At Bridport, are baptism records for children of Thomas Ford (her husband):

Joan, 8 june 1617
Abigail, 8 Oct 1619

The Holy Trinity Church of Dorchester contains the following Baptism Records for children of Thomas Ford (her husband):

Thomas, baptized 21 Sep 1623; buried 6 Oct 1623
Hepzibah, baptized 15 May 1625
Hannah, baptized 1 Feb 1628/29; buried 28 Mar 1629

We conclude that between 1619 and 1623 Thomas and Elizabeth moved from Bridport to Dorchester.

It is possible that Thomas Ford was a widower with a child when he married Elizabeth Charde. In Powerstock, which is 6 miles northeast of Bridport, we find two men named Thomas Ford. One married 29 Jan 1607-08 to Julian Dun and the other married 13 Dec 1610 to Joane Way. We find three baptism records for Florence (1608), Thomas (1610) and Julian (1615) which likely belong to the Thomas Ford married first. And we find two baptisms in 1612 of which one would likely belong to the first Thomas (married 1607/08) and the other likely to the second Thomas (married 1610). Mary, baptized 18 Aug 1612 and Sarah, baptized 6 Jan 1612/13. After 1613 only one Thomas was having children baptized in Powerstock. Joane Ford was buried in Powerstock on 10 May 1615.

It is possible that Joan Ford, first child of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde was named Joan in 1617 in honor of the deceased first wife, which was not uncommon to do in those days. It is also possible that Henry Way, of Bridport, who also emigrated on the "Mary and John" at the same time as Thomas Ford, was related to Joane Way. Based on this reasoning, some have concluded that Thomas Ford probably first married Joane Way. I think "probably" may be too strong a word. I will go with Thomas Ford "may" have first married Joane Way and they may have had a daughter named Sarah or Mary.

We are unable to find record of parents of Elizabeth Charde. Numerous on-line records show Thomas Charde, but there is absolutely no record of this. There are some Charde wills and Charde tax records in Dorset, but even though the name of Thomas Charde does appear in some of these records there is nothing to indicate that he is a father of Elizabeth.

Thomas Ford, Elizabeth Ford, Joanna Ford, Abigail Ford, Hepzibah Ford and Aaron Cooke arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630. In 1637 Thomas Ford moved to Windsor and in1672 to Northhampton where he died 28 Nov 1676.

Elizabeth Charde died in Windsor 18 Apr 1643.

Some have said that Thomas Ford has more descendants than any other male New England immigrant. I do now know if that is true or not, but he certainly has lots of descendants. He had three confirmed daughters who lived to procreation age. Joanne married Roger Clapp and they had 45 grandchildren. Abigail married John Strong, they had 16 children and 143 grandchildren. Hepzibah married Richard Lyman and had 8 children and 43 grandchildren. That is a total of 231 great grandchildren for Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde from only 3 daughters. Plus Elizabeth Charde has additional descendants through her son Aaron Cook. As each generation multiplies itself, with the kind of start their descendants had, it would be virtually impossible for a later generation to catch up to them in numbers. Some notable descendants of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde include Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Princess Diana, Spencer Tracy, the Wright brothers, Samuel Colt, Rutherford B Hayes, Mike Huckabee, D.H. Lawrence, Sarah Palin, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Gary Boyd Roberts' books mentions these and many other prominent descendants.

136 Terry---Hazel Seeley born 17 Feb 1896 Bay City. In 1934 lived in Flint. Later years in Ft. Meyers Florida. She used to send Mom a Xmas card every year from Florida. Then the cards stopped. I found a death notice 5 Sept 1990 with info that seemed to fit her online. Mom said Yeah that is about the time the xmas cards stopped. Anyway I have a note that she died in Flushing, MI and is buried at Gracelawn Cemetery in Flint. She married Jay Cleaon Cheney on Aug 29, 1894. I think they had kids. Mom would know.

146 According to Genealogies at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Canada Sarah was married 1st to William Lounsbury and 2nd to Alexander Campbell and then moved to Ontario. However the Brant County, Ontario Gen web at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onbrant/biosbran1.htm has a biography of her son Morris that shows that it was William and Sarah (not Alexander) who moved from New Brunswick and all children are Lounsburys. So it would seem that either Alexander Campbell was the first husband, who did not move to Ontario or it is simply in error and he was not a husband. See Morris Lounsbury (b. 1831) for full writeup. SARAH COREY
 
147 According to Genealogies (first families) at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Canada; Thomas Corey and Catherine Vail moved from New York to New Brunswick in 1783 as Loyalists. They first settled at Gagetown, Queens County then on Washademoak Lake.

John Cory's mother gave him a copy of a book by Rev. Richard Rogers. A treatise on the bible. John transported the book across the Atlantic Ocean in 1640. He willed the book to his son John Cory, who willed it to his son John Cory. It continued to be passed from father to son as follows: Elnathan Cory, Ebenezer Cory, Elnathan Cory, John Cory, Elnathan Cory, William Smith Cory, Sidney Cory and Sidney gave it to his daughter Mae Cory Vicroy of Salem, Ohio who holds the book today, over 350 years after the book was given to John by his mother.

(HEADLINE:) She lived alone near her son. When found her body was found lying on the bed with the clothing burned off.

Mrs. Mary Phelps met with a terrible death last evening, shortly before 6 o'clock, being burned to death at her home on the farm of her son, Jerome, on Atherton Street in Burton.
Mrs. Phelps lived alone in a little house about 4 rods east of the residence of the son named, and (her) grandson Arthur, living several rods east of her. Last evening, between 5 and 6 o'clock her son went to the house where his mother lived to fix the fire and found her seated before the stove. He did what was necessary to the stove and cautioned the old lady, who was about eighty-six, not to meddle with the fire. Shortly before 6 o?clock Arthur left his house to go to the barn to harness a horse to take two ladies who were visiting him to the electric railway station at Morrish?s crossing, and while passing the house smelled smoke. He groped his way to the chair in which his grandmother usually sat, and finding her not there ran to the bed, on which he found her lying. He was unable to carry her out and called for his father. Together they carried the bed out of the house and found Mrs. Phelps was dead. Her clothing had been burned off her body and the bed clothing had been burned. It is supposed that her clothing caught fire and she rushed to the bed and threw herself upon it in the hope that the fire would be extinguished by so doing, or that a spark set fire to her dress and she went to bed, and while lying down the spark burst into a blaze and she was burned to death. The two young ladies who were visiting the younger Phelps passed the house a few minutes before Arthur did and smelled nothing.
Mrs. Phelps was born in New York and came to Davison with her husband, R.G. Phelps about 50 years ago. They lived in Davison for about twenty years and then moved to Burton where Mr. Phelps died about twenty-five years ago. She is survived by six children. They are Jerome, of Burton; Leander, of Saginaw; Eugene, who lives in California; Mrs. Delos Cole, of St. Johns; Mrs. Adaline Thompson, who lives near Millington, and Alice of Gratiot county.
Dr. Charles was notified and went to Burton last night, but did not deem an inquest necessary.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 10 a.m. from the home of her son, Jerome. Interment will be made in the Kitchen cemetery in Davison.

156 Edward Culver was born in England and died In New London, Connecticut 1685 in what is now called Groton. He married Ann Ellis at Dedham, Mass 19 Sep 1638. Ann Ellis died after 1682.
(TAG 31P129-137)

It is often said that Edward Culver was a scout in King Philips War in 1676. However he would have been over 60 years old at the time. Most likely this reference should go to his son, Edward.
(TAG 31P129-137)

in 1881 James P Snell in "A History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey" stated that John Culver, born England 1575-1580 had 3 sons; John who remained in England, Edward who emigrated to America in 1635 and Joseph who emigrated to Ireland. We do not have any source records for this.

A book by Frederic Lathrop Culver written in the late 1800's gives a genealogy of Edward Culver going back to Edward Culver of Kensington Parish, Middlesex, England who married in 1549. There are no source records and the book as a whole is considered unreliable.

161 Much of the information on John Phelps Jr comes from the Phelps Family History book (published 1899) and the Dewey Family History book (published 1898). Since their publication new information has emerged, in particular the Barbour Collection of Early Connecticut birth, marriage and death records (origjnal records on file at the Connecticut Public Library, with various indexes available on-line). Unfortunately, this older information permeates the online family trees causing much confusion and contradiction.

We also know he married Desire Dewey and had children with her. We cannot be certain if Deborah Dewey (who is listed in the Phelps book as his spouse) is a different woman from Desire, or was from an earlier marriage (Deborah is listed in the Dewey book as different from Desire, with a different birth date and different parents). But we now know that according to Connecticut Vital Records that he married Desire Dewey on 16 Jan 1755 and that 10 children were born in Hebron, Ct with John and Desire Phelps listed as the parents on each birth record.

transcriptions of Westfield Vital Records show wife of this Josiah as Experience Dewey--but that appears to be a mistake, as children born later are listed to Hepzibah. Also, Ebenezer listed as son of Josiah and Experience in Westfield Vital Records shows as son of Josiah and Hepzibah on his gravestone. Also Hepzibahs gravestone in Lebanon's Old Cemtery is inscribed as husband of Josiah.

167 The first record of Thomas Dewey in the new world is 1633 in Dorchester. Speculation is that since he first appears in a record in 1633, he may have arrived in July 1663 on an unnamed ship which sailed from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England. But again that is speculation.

It has been claimed that he was from Sandwich, Kent, but there is no evidence. And most of the early settlers of Dorchester were from the West Country of England, not Kent.

He married Frances Unknown, widow of Unknown Clark, in Windsor on 22 Mar 1638/39. It has been stated that her first husband was Joseph Clark of Windsor, but Clarence Torrey proved in 1928 that this was not the case.

Thomas died 27 April 1648 in Windsor.

His widow Frances remarried Nov 1648 the widower George Phelps, another of our ancestors.

Thomas Dewey appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and the above information is from that source.

Among the descendants of Thomas Dewey are Mamie Eisenhower, Admiral Thomas Dewey and three of the "Beach Boys" Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson.

176 From” Collver/Culver Genealogy” compiled by Frances McIntosh 1970:
John is mentioned as the father of Edward Culver’s wife Ann Ellis and he is also mentioned as one of the signers of “The Dedham covenant” (also called “The Dedham Compact”) in 1636. Ann’s mother is listed as Susan Lumber/Lombard/Lumbert/and others.

I also found this interesting story online which mentions his name at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Dedham,_Massachusetts,_1635%E2%80%931792
Tiot
In 1635 there were rumors in the Massachusetts Bay Colony that a war with the local Indians was impending and a fear arose that the few, small, coastal communities that existed were in danger of attack. This, in addition to the belief that the few towns that did exist were too close together, prompted the Massachusetts General Court to establish two new inland communities. The towns of Dedham and Concord, Massachusetts were thus established to relieve the growing population pressure and to place communities between the larger, more established coastal towns and the Indians further west.

The grant from the colony gave them over "two hundred square miles of virgin wilderness, complete with lakes, hills, forests, meadows, Indians, and a seemingly endless supply of rocks and wolves." Aside from "several score Indians, who were quickly persuaded to relinquish their claims for a small sum, the area was free of human habitation." The original grant stretched from the border of Boston to the Rhode Island border.

Dedham was settled in the summer of 1636 by "about thirty families excised from the broad ranks of the English middle classes" traveling up the Charles River from Roxbury and Watertown traveling in rough canoes carved from felled trees. These original settlers, including Edward Alleyne, John Everard, John Gay and John Ellis "paddled up the narrow, deeply flowing stream impatiently turning curve after curve around Nonantum until, emerging from the tall forest into the open, they saw in the sunset glow a golden river twisting back and forth through broad, rich meadows." In search of the best land available to them they continued on but the river took many turns, so that it was a burden the continual turning about.... West, east, and north we turned on that same meadow and progressed none, so that I, rising in the boat, saw the river flowing just across a bit of grass, in a place where I knew we had passed through nigh an hour before. "Moore," said Miles then to me, "the river is like its Master, our good King Charles, of sainted memory, it promises overmuch, but gets you nowhere."

They first landed where the river makes its 'great bend,' on what is today Ames Street, near the Dedham Community House and the Allin Congregational Church in Dedham Square. The Algonquins living in the area called the place Tiot. Tiot, which means "land surrounded by water," was later used to describe the village of South Dedham, today the separate town of Norwood. In "its first years, the town was more than a place to live; it was a spiritual community."

Many of the other yeomen settling the new Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony came from Suffolk, in eastern England. This group included elders Nathan Aldis, George Barber, Henry Brock, Eleazor Lusher, Robert Ware, John Thurston, Francis and Henry Chickering and Anthony, Corneileus and Joshua Fisher.

I have not yet found any source records on John Ellis.

per Terry--Grandpa Felsing went by Johannes Felsing on his info in the early years. The ship he immigrated on is on the internet but is hard to read the passenger list. It was I think a cement ship no really a passenger ship. The SS Lauenburg arriving on March 1, 1898 in Galveston, Texas. He is number 29 on the list. Line number 16 read Aug. Hergen. It is the line that asks where will you be staying...possible August Hergenröder. Almost looks like the name cousin is next to it. I can not find anyone with that name living in Nebraska at that time. Also if you look up further on the name list there is someone listed with last name Klemm who looks like they have the same info listed as Grandpa for Aug Hergen.

186 Prior to emigrating to the New World on the ship "Mary and John" Thomas Ford lived in Dorchester, Dorset, England. The Holy Trinity Church of Dorchester contains the following Baptism Records for children of Thomas Ford:

Thomas, baptized 21 Sep 1623; buried 6 Oct 1623
Hepzibah, baptized 15 May 1625
Hannah, baptized 1 Feb 1628/29; buried 28 Mar 1629

At Bridport, 15 ½ miles west of Dorchester we find earlier baptism records for children of Thomas Ford:

Joan, 8 june 1617
Abigail, 8 Oct 1619

We also find that Elizabeth Charde Cook, the widow of Aaron Cook, married Thomas Ford 19 Jun 1616 in Bridport. As Thomas Ford, Elizabeth Charde and the three living children, plus Aaron Cooke, son of the deceased Aaron Cooke, all arrived in the New World in 1630 we can safely conclude that all of these records pertain to the same family.

We can also conclude that between 1619 and 1623 Thomas and Elizabeth moved from Bridport to Dorchester.

It is possible that Thomas Ford was a widower with a child when he married Elizabeth Charde. In Powerstock, which is 6 miles northeast of Bridport, we find two men named Thomas Ford. One married 29 Jan 1607-08 to Julian Dun and the other married 13 Dec 1610 to Joane Way. We find three baptism records for Florence (1608), Thomas (1610) and Julian (1615) which likely belong to the Thomas Ford married first. And we find two baptisms in 1612 of which one would likely belong to the first Thomas (married 1607/08) and the other likely to the second Thomas (married 1610). Mary, baptized 18 Aug 1612 and Sarah, baptized 6 Jan 1612/13. After 1613 only one Thomas was having children baptized in Powerstock. Joane Ford was buried in Powerstock on 10 May 1615.
It is possible that Joan Ford, first child of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde was named Joan in 1617 in honor of the deceased first wife, which was not uncommon to do in those days. It is also possible that Henry Way, of Bridport, who also emigrated on the "Mary and John" at the same time as Thomas Ford, was related to Joane Way. Based on this reasoning, some have concluded that Thomas Ford probably first married Joane Way. I think "probably" may be too strong a word. I will go with Thomas Ford "may" have first married Joane Way and they may have had a daughter named Sarah or Mary.

In regards to which child, Mary or Sarah may have been born to Thomas and Joane, some have, perhaps erroneously concluded that it was Mary. Aaron Cook has appeared in the record as Thomas Fords "son-in-law". Aaron Cook is married to Mary Cook. Thus some have concluded that this wording is proof that Thomas Ford had a daughter Mary and is additional proof of the Joane Way marriage. However, this is faulty reasoning. In the terminology of the day "son-in-law" could also mean what we today call "step-son". And we know that Aaron was the step-son of Thomas, due to Thomas marrying his mother. And that would have nothing to do with whomever Aaron married. The Great Migrations series gives a maiden name for Aaron's wife, and it is not Ford. Therefore, if Thomas was the person who married Joane Way, we still do not have any idea if their child was Mary or Sarah. Neither child emigrated with Thomas. They both would have been 17 or 18 at the time and perhaps already married, if still alive.

It is unknown who the parents of Thomas Ford were. Burt Spears who has intensively researched the "Mary and John" passengers, has come up with 11 wills of people surnamed Ford in the area and timeframe we are looking at. It is impossible to put these wills together in a genealogical meaningful way. However, one will offers some possible clues. It is the will of Thomas Ford of Dorchester , proved 8 May 1611. In the will the executor is Thomas Forde, "son of my brother John Forde". If this is the same Thomas it would make his father John Forde. The clue here being that perhaps as executor he gained control of property in Dorchester, which would explain his move from Bridport to Dorchester some years later. Consider that we had two Thomas Fords in Powerstock that we know of and that the existence of eleven Ford wills could imply that the common name of Thomas appears even more than twice. I would say that this is a real stretch and that we can only conclude that we do not know anything about the ancestry of Thomas Ford.

Many on-line genealogies freely use the first wife as Joane, the first child as Mary and the father as John Ford as facts. The first wife and first child have not been proven and the father is pure speculation.

Thomas Ford, Elizabeth (Charde)Ford, Joanna Ford, Abigail Ford, Hepzibah Ford and Aaron Cooke arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630. In 1637 Thomas Ford moved to Windsor and in1672 to Northhampton where he died 28 Nov 1676.

After Elizabeth Charde died in Windsor 18 Apr 1643 he remarried at an unknown date to the widow of Thomas Scott. There was a child named Ann, but it is uncertain if Thomas Ford or Thomas Scott was the father.

Some have said that Thomas Ford has more descendants than any other male New England immigrant. I do now know if that is true or not, but he certainly has lots of descendants. He had three confirmed daughters who lived to procreation age. Joanne married Roger Clapp and they had 45 grandchildren. Abigail married John Strong, they had 16 children and 143 grandchildren. Hepzibah married Richard Lyman and had 8 children and 43 grandchildren. That is a total of 231 great grandchildren for Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde from only 3 daughters. Plus Elizabeth Charde has additional descendants through her son Aaron Cook. As each generation multiplies itself, with the kind of start their descendants had, it would be virtually impossible for a later generation to catch up to them in numbers. Some notable descendants of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde include Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Princess Diana, Spencer Tracy, the Wright brothers, Samuel Colt, Rutherford B Hayes, Mike Huckabee, D.H. Lawrence, Sarah Palin, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Gary Boyd Roberts' books mentions these and many other prominent descendants.

I have found four documents with Leah's maiden name; two spell it Furlow (son Eli's marriage record, dau Louisa's first marriage record) and two spell it Furler (dau Louisa's second marriage, Leah's Death Certificate). Canadian research seems to indicate the family name was actually Furler. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/furler.htm for information on the Furler family in Canada.

Possible parents are Cornelius Furler (b1769 in USA) and Mary Ann Gallop. This family also appears on the 1851 Canadian Census in Cayuga, Haldimand, Ontario. And is the only possible parent in that county based on that census. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/furler.htm for ancestors of these possible parents.

204 RUTH GREENSLADE

Verification of her parentage comes from the will of Jacob Pudeator, her mothers second husband. The will was contested and the case was dropped. Therefore, by order of the court 5 pounds as called for in the will was to be paid to Ruth Greenslate alias Bridges. The will spelled her and her 3 brothers surname as Greenslit, and the court order spelled it Greenslate, which no doubt contributed to the confusing spellings found in the various on-line genealogies. 
RUTH GREENSLADE
 
205 THOMAS GREENSLADE

A record of his birth has not been found. No record of his parents exists. There are parents listed in many on-line genealogies, but there is no evidence that any of these are correct. It would appear some genealogies were put together based upon the fact that two people had the same surname and therefore must be related. And then these genealogies were repeated and repeated on the internet. James Avery married Joanna Greenslade of Boston on 10 Nov 1643. This has caused many to assume that Thomas and Joanna were brother and sister. Perhaps, they are, but there is absolutely no evidence to connect the two.

There is no record of his marriage to Ann.

Thomas came over on the Margery in 1642 or 1643 (1). The Ilfracombe, Devon reference, as appears online, seems to be quite disputed. From what I gather, Greenslade was a common name in Devon and the name Thomas Greenslade does appear in records there, but there is no evidence that it is the same person. The year of birth is in dispute also, there is no authoritative reference to confirm it. Some of the dates given may relate to a Greenslade in Devon. I can't find any pertinent Devon records online. But I did find the name Greenslade in some neighboring Somerset records.

He is listed as a witness on deeds in Falmouth, Maine 1648, 1658 and 1651 (1). He had a foreclosure suit filed against him in Casco, Maine in 1667 (1).

Thomas Greenslad was a signer on a petition dated 4 July 1663 in the towns of Scarborough, Falmouth, Black Point and Casco, Maine (2).

The earliest records for Thomas in Salem, Massachusetts were in 1673, where there are mentions in court records:

1. Thomas Greenslade, for breach of the Sabbath was admonished (this may refer to his son, Thomas) (4)
2. Sara Greenslade, for suspicion of stealing and lying, was fined twice. (4)(Sara is possibly a previously unknown daughter of Thomas; there exists no other known record of her)
3. Goodman Grinslate received 5 quintals of fish from William Balkwell. (4)

There are no known records in Maine that reference Thomas's wife. It is assumed that the children were born in Maine, but no actual records are known to exist other than Noyes who lists the son Thomas as being born 1652 in Casco. (1)

References for Greenslade in the early years are Joanna Greenslade marrying Captain James Avery in 1644. The 1937 book "Twelve Generations in America" by Brookfield lists Joanna Greenslade as the daughter of Thomas Greenslade. Some sites I have looked at mention Joanna as a possible sister to Thomas. But two Avery books I looked at one 1893 and one 1926 only mention Thomas Greenslade as a possible relative, only because he has the same surname. "The Groton Avery Clan" by E, Avery 1912 mentions Thomas and also references Hotton's "List of Early Emigrants" who cites "Samuel Greenslide aged 27 and Barbary his wife aged 35, with 2 children, Mary and Barbara. Came over in 1637. A weaver from Norwich". The only reason for the mentions is again the same surname; there is no claim of relation, other than "possible relation". Another book "Some Colonial Families" by Roberts 1926 also mentions an Edward Greenslade of Boston. Therefore in addition to our Thomas, there were at least 3 other Greenslades/Greenslides in the colonies in those early years. It would not seem likely that they could all be of the same family.

Thomas died in July 1674 in Salem, Mass (3)without a will. He had more debts than assets therefore probate did not list any heirs.
Administration upon the estate of Thomas Greenslett, intestate, was
granted Mar. 27, 1677, to Ann Greenslett, who was to pay the debts as
far as the inventory, which was 3li, 16s. 2d. would allow.
Ipswich Quarterly Court Records, vol. 5, page 287.

Inventory of the estate of Thomas Greenslet taken Mar. 21, 1676-7 by
Edmund Batter and John Massey: one flocke bed & apertances, 1li., 2 old
Chests with raggs, 6s.; a lampe, ticke & Hauke, 4s., table, 2 wheels &
Chairs, 10s. 6d.; one Irone pott, 6 s. 8 d.; wood & old bedsteed, 7s.;
potts, 2s.; 2 swine, 1li.; total 3li. 16s. 2d. The debts many & not
knowne.
Attested in Ipswich court Mar. 27, 1677 by An Greenslet administratix of
the estate of her late husband Thomas Greenslet.
Essex County Probate Files, Docket 11,851.

They only listing of his children is in the will of Jacob Pudeator who mentioned the 5 step-children to whom he left 5 pounds each:
to leave to "John Greenslit and to the other fore of my wife's children viz., Thomas, Ruth, Samuel, and James Greenslit 5 pounds each."

The court records do list that 5 pounds was paid to Ruth Bridges alias Greenslate, although the will lists her as Ruth Greenslit.
Widow Ann (Greensleet) Pudeator was executed for witch-
craft 1692 at Salem; and Dec. 10, 1694, an inventory of the est.
was presented and admn granted Mr Philip English, attorney
for Grace Pudeater, Legatee [Essex P. R., Vol. 303, p. 198;
Case 22909].

James Greensleet starts action against the estate but lets
it fall, and Ruth Greenslate alias Bridges receives her legacy
of £5 from the estate of her step-father, Jacob Pudeator.

Greensleet et al ... and Vicki Greenslit Brooker responded with some
excellent answers for some of them.

Bill -- and other list members,
Here are some responses to your questions Vicki didn't answer.

Re: EDWARD GREENSLADE, JOANNA GREENSLADE STORY - IT'S SPECULATION
WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION. As far as I know, no one has found anything to
document who Thomas Greenslade's parents were.

Here are my feelings on the "father Edward, sister Joanna" story:
This has been passed around (without any documentation) for maybe 20
years. It's on a few old Temple Ordinance sheets and pops up on more
current group sheets using those oldies as sources. I am guessing that
it started with an assumption by researchers years ago that the Joanna
Greenslade who belonged to the Boston Church and who married John Avery
of Gloucester was Thomas Greenslade's sister. (Their assumption: same
last name, same time period, must be related.)

Absolutely no documentation has surfaced to my knowledge that there was
any relationship between Thomas Greenslade of Casco Bay, Maine, and
Joanna of Boston/Gloucester/and CT. While it is very possible that
Edward Greenslade was Joanna's father, long ago some researcher took a
big leap to assume Thomas and Joanna must be siblings, thus you'll see
an Edward Greenslade listed as being Joanna's father, and thus also
Thomas' father. So, please set this story aside as "speculation" until
some kind of documentation surfaces.

208 12th Governor of Georgia--Signer of the Declaration of Independence

LYMAN HALL was born on April 12, 1724 in Wallingford, Connecticut. It was not in the state of his birth, however, that Hall would gain fame as a colonial congressman, but further south, in Georgia.
Hall studied for the ministry at Yale where he graduated in 1747 at the age of twenty-three. Soon after, he married Abigail Burr and subsequently decided he would rather heal unhealthy bodies than tainted souls. So he studied long and hard and by 1754 he was ready to practice medicine.
First he opened an office in South Carolina, then he and his family settled in Sunbury on the Georgia coast. As a dedicated doctor, Hall's practice expanded and prospered - so much so that he was financially able to acquire a vast and successful rice plantation in Burke County, Georgia.
While the Georgia legislature was at first reluctant to send a representative to the Second Continental congress in 1775, Lyman Hall was determined to change this posture. He called a citizen's meeting that was filled with patriots who outwardly supported his loud cry for total independence. Thus, he was elected as a delegate to congress. He had no authority to vote, however, until the following year when his appointment was confirmed by the Georgia legislature.
In 1776, two other representatives for Georgia joined Hall at the Old State House in Philadelphia. He was the oldest of these signers and the one who spoke out most forcefully for freedom and a breakaway from the rule of England.
During the Revolutionary War, while Hall was still serving in Congress, the British destroyed his beautiful plantation. Hall's family, however, managed to escape to the north, later joining him in Philadelphia.
In 1782, LymanHall retuned to Georgia, where he was elected to the office of governor. He served just one year before returning in 1784 to a new plantation.
Hall died on October 19, 1790 in Burke County, Georgia, at the age of sixty-six.

Lyman Hall
1724-1790
Representing Georgia at the Continental Congress
Born: April 12, 1724
Birthplace: Wallingford, Conn.
Education: Graduated Yale College, (Physician.)
Work: Elected to Continental Congress, 1775; Delegate to the Georgia House of Assembly, Elected Governor of Georgia, 1783; Judge, 1785.
Died: October 19, 1790
Lyman Hall was born in Connecticut in 1724. He studied medicine at Yale College, graduated in 1756 and went to Charleston, South Carolina, shortly after to establish a medical practice. He bought land in Georgia in 1760 and established a plantation there, while continuing to practice medicine. Two years later he returned to South Carolina, still as a physician. In 1774, by this time partisan in revolutionary politics, he again came to Georgia and earned the unflattering attention of the Royal Governor, James Wright. He also secured election to the Continental Congress, where he was involved in provisioning food and medicine for the Revolutionary Armies. He was reelected to congress through 1780 but retired to his adopted state in 1777 when state matters, including the situation of his longtime friend Button Gwinnett, demanded his attention. A short time later, the war reached Savannah. Hall's property was burned and he stood accused of high treason. He fled to Charleston, which was also overtaken by the British. He then fled to Connecticut, some say, where he was harbored by family.
He returned to Georgia in 1782, to reclaim his lands, was elected to the House of Assembly in 1783 and then elevated to the office of the Governor. After a single year as Governor, he served one more year in the Assembly, then a year as judge. He then returned to private life and was involved in the continued development of agriculture in the state. Hall died in 1790 at the age of 66.

212 Children of Catherine the great: The Germans from Russia
Web posted August 6, 1997
By Barbara Hansen
Los Angeles Times
Russia's Catherine the Great can take credit for an intriguing, little-known facet of California's ethnic cookery.
During her reign (1762 to 1796), the former German princess was determined to civilize the lower Volga region, which was overrun with robbers and ruffians, so she opened the doors to German immigrants. She offered land, religious freedom and other incentives for them to settle in the Volga's villages.
Thousands responded, and all went well for about 100 years. Then the political situation deteriorated and thousands departed. A substantial number came to the United States, many putting down roots in Lincoln, Neb., which is now the headquarters of the American Historical Society of the Germans from Russia. Some moved on to California, settling around Fresno.
Among the Fresno contingent was a young couple, Jacob Heinrich and his wife, Elizabeth. Heinrich's great-great-grandfather, a carpet weaver, had settled in the Volga colony of Kukkus in 1767. Jacob was born there in 1882 and moved to the United States in 1902. He married Elizabeth ``Lizzie'' Felsing, another immigrant, in 1904.
Their descendants include granddaughter Karen Heinrich Shea of Lake Forest, who has become a chronicler of the Germans from Russia, especially their recipes.
An excellent cook, Ms. Shea has compiled Heinrich Family Favorites, a thick cookbook of recipes from descendants of Jacob and Elizabeth Heinrich. Along with the family genealogy, it tells how the Germans from Russia lived, worked and celebrated.
Elizabeth Heinrich cooked on a wood stove, put up jelly in half-gallon jars and made virtually everything the family consumed. ``Grandma ... Heinrich's cooking day often started at 5 a.m. ... ''' Ms. Shea writes in the book. ``All cooking was from `scratch,' no mixes or shortcuts. The family rarely, if ever, bought bread at the store, at 9 cents a loaf a terrible extravagance.''
Hard-working, honest and thrifty, the Germans from Russia were discriminated against. ``Rooshian town'' was the disparaging term for the part of Fresno where the early settlers congregated. They spoke different dialects according to the villages from which they came, and their Russian-influenced food was unknown to other Germans.
So obscure is this group that Ms. Shea, who was born in Fresno, says, ``I never knew I was a German from Russia until I was in high school.''
Heinrich Family Favorites contains more than 500 recipes. Only about 60 are the old Russian-influenced family recipes, but they are treasures.
``Beerocks,'' for instance. These are big yeast rolls stuffed with beef, cabbage and onions, a ``hand-held meal,'' as Ms. Shea describes them. ``It's the longest recipe in the book. All my aunts and uncles wanted their version in,'' Ms. Shea says.
Ms. Shea's beerocks are light, tender oval buns generously stuffed with juicy filling. The sausages were made by Ms. Shea's father, Philip. He still uses his father Jacob's early-1900s meat grinder and sausage stuffer. His recipe, which calls for 15 pounds of pork and 12 pounds of ``good beef,'' is in the book.
Ms. Shea's parents live on a grape ranch in Madera. From 1937 to 1954, they ran three bakeries in Fresno called Phil's Pastry Box.
Several recipes from the bakery are in the book, including oatmeal raisin cookies and a lemon cake glaze, both dated 1938. Streusel coffee cake is her mother Maxine's recipe. It is topped with a sour cream mixture, then streusel and finally cinnamon sugar. Ms. Shea says she likes a variation topped with Thompson seedless grapes.
Other family favorites in the book include pork ribs and sauerkraut - ``We have that quite often,'' Ms. Shea says - and Elizabeth Heinrich's turkey stuffing with raisins.
There are several recipes for ``blina'' (pancakes) and one for ``vareniks,'' stuffed dumplings that are boiled and then fried. ``After making a batch of 150 vareniks, I know why my grandmother had skinny arms,'' Ms. Shea says. The dough must be kneaded, then each varenik rolled out separately. The book gives a choice of potato-sauerkraut, apple, berry and cottage cheese fillings.
Heinrich Family Favorites is ``meant to be a family book,'' Ms. Shea says, ``but what I truly hope is that other people will write down the things from their families before they are lost.''
To order a copy, send $15, which covers shipping and handling, to 21352 Avenida Manantial, Lake Forest, Calif. 92630. Make checks payable to Karen Heinrich Shea.

215 On 10 Feb 1857, Peter Hider, son Peter, dau. Elizabeth, dau. Charlotte, granddau. Mary Ann Elizabeth (also: John William Barnett) all departed from London, on the ship Christiana. The ship landed at NYC on 8 Apr 1857. On 10 Apr 1857 the family arrived at Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.
In 1859 in Durham, Ontario, Charlotte married George Willey (son of Edward Willey and Jemima Batey-who lived in Hartfield, Sussex located right next to Withyham).
By 1864-65 Charlotte, George and family had moved to Rochester, New York. By this time for reasons unknown the family was using the surname Willard (instead of Willey). Charlotte's daughter, Mary Ann Elizabeth Hider was also using the name Willard, although she was 4 years old when her mother married George Willey.
It is unknown if Mary Ann Elizabeth knew that the family name was originally Willey or that George was not her biological father.
By 1866 George had died in Rochester.
About 1877 Mary Ann Elizabeth married William H Osborne in Rochester.
By 1880 the entire family had moved to Bay City, Michigan.
In about 1883 Charlotte remarried to James Flood.(per census record of 1900 and death certificate). Place of marriage is unknown. It would appear that from 1883 to 1896 Charlotte and James did not live in Bay City. No city directory entries until 1897, when James Flood is living at 2313 Fitzhugh. Also living at the same residence is Charlotte's granddaughter, Lillian Osborne and husband Edgar Melvin (per 1897 city directory entry of Edgar Melvin boarding at 2313 Fitzhugh)
Charlotte Flood died in Bay City on Jan 15, 1902. Per death certificate Charlotte Flood was born in England 22 Jul 1833. Her father is listed as Geo Hydar. Geo as a first name is an apparent error. Reported by her second husband, James Flood.

William and Florence migrated to the colonies in 1633, settling in Dorchester. In 1635 he moved to Windsor.

Florence died at Windsor 20 Aug 1641.

William remarried by 1650 to Jane, the widow of Henry Foulkes.

About 1654 William returned to England without his wife Jane, with the hope that we would join him at alater date. Which she did in 1655 or 1656.

Sometime after 1655, William Hosford died in England. His widow Jane died in England sometime after 15 Jan 1671.

233 This Thomas Huls was earlier assumed to be the son of Benjamin Hulse as is reported in many on-line trees. According to the Hulse Net website, that is probably incorrect. He may be a son of Benjamin's brother Richard or he may be a son of Gerritt Holsaert of a different immigrant family. THOMAS HULS
 
234 from: http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Morrow/MorSBlo.htm
WILLIAM HENRY HULSE, merchant; Sparta. Jabez Hulse was born in Tompkins Co., N. Y., Dec, 25, 1807, and is the son of Thomas and Leah (Weatherby) Hulse. Jabez's family consisted of his wife, Maria (Slack) Hulse, daughter of Theophilus and Mercy Slack, and seven children as follows Francis G. Albert S., William H., Jesse, Cornelia, James K. P. and Maria, all of whom are married, except Jesse, who lives with his father. Jabez was married Jan. 1, 1832, and came to Ohio in the fall of 1835, locating in South Bloomfield Tp., Morrow Co. His wife died March 10, 1870. Feb. 28, 1872, he was again married, his second wife being Maria Henry, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Henry, with whom he is yet living. His son William Henry, or "Hank," as he is more familiarly known, was born in Morrow Co., Ohio, Nov. 7, 1837; be lived with his parents until he was 15 years old, and was then apprenticed to learn the carpenters' trade. During his youth he obtained a thorough knowledge of the chair making business, which trade was followed, more or less, after he became a man; he learned the carriage makers' trade and worked at that in connection with his other trades. When about 33 years old, he began clerking for S. L. Newcomb, in Sparta, who was in the general -mercantile business; was also at Pulaskiville in the same business for a few months. On the 13th of October, 1875, he formed a partnership with Wesley Chipps, at Sparta, to be known as Chipps & Hulse, dealers in general merchandise. The partners advanced equal amounts of capital, and bought the stock of W. C. Harris, which invoiced at $31.25. These young men have been in the business ever since, and have the liveliest business in their lively town. Mr. Hulse was married June 13, 1869, to Miss Ellen Bliss, daughter of Caroline and Mason Bliss. The wife is one of a family of six children, and was born Dee, 4, 1846. Henry Hulse is Deputy Postmaster at Sparta. He is a Universalist in his religious belief, and is one of the most enterprising and successful business men of Sparta.
 
Jabez Hulse
 
235 We do have a record of a Katherine Hulse born NY in 1795 to Thomas Huls. But is this the same person?
On the 1850 census the households after Joshua & Catherine Rawling are Gilbert Hulse, Jabez Hulse and Reuben Hulse. According to the Hulse Web Site these 3 Hulse's along with Katherine match up by name and age and birthstate with 4 of the children of Thomas Hulse and Leah Weatherby. Therefore we conclude that Katherine is indeed the child of Thomas Hulse. Also telling is the fact that their son Jabez is given the middle name of Weatherby, apparently named after Katherine's mother.

John Irish
 
257 Birth: John Irish was born by about 1611, if he was eighteen at
the time of his indenture.
Death: He died by March 5, 1677/8.
Ship: Unknown, 1630
Life in England: In an indenture dated April 20, 1629, John
Irish of Clisdon, Somersetshire, laborer, agreed to serve Timothy
Hatherly of Southwark in Plymouth, New England, for five
years. Note: As there is no Clisdon in Somerset, it is unclear
what location was meant.
Life in New England: John Irish immigrated as an indentured
servant. As part of his payment when he finished his service, he
was to have 25 acres of land.The Plymouth court had ordered
the towns in which former servants lived to provide them with
land, but this practice did not work out. Ex-servants generally
received land in the colony’s “frontiers” where the colonial government
was encouraging settlement. In Plymouth’s case, this
meant Bridgewater, between Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay
and Saconett [Little Compton, Rhode Island] to the west. John
Irish received land in both locations.While his main occupation
was planter [farmer], John Irish described himself in a 1659 deed
as a “roper.”
Family: John Irish married Elizabeth _____ by about 1644 and
had three children. She died in Little Compton on August 28,
1687.
Children of John and Elizabeth Irish:
• Elizabeth was born about 1644. She married Philip Washburn
by about 1664 and had four children. She died on August 28,
1687, in Duxbury. He died about 1700.
• John was born about 1647. He married (1) Elizabeth ____ by
about 1672. He married (2) Priscilla (Southworth) Talbot on
March 1, 1689, in Bristol, Rhode Island, and had two children.
He died on February 21, 1717, in Little Compton,
Rhode Island. She died on June 11, 1722.
• Elias was born about 1649. He married Dorothy Witherell in
Taunton on August 26, 1674, and had one child. He died
before October 30, 1677, when the court appointed his
father-in-law,William Witherell, to administer his estate. She
married (2) William Wood on April 1, 1686.

268 W.L. Irish lists Polly born 1832 with no other info. I suspect he has the birthdate wrong and this is David Irish's daughter, but born in 1812. Only thing that makes sense with the census info. This polly shows in the same household as wm irish in 1850, 1860 and 1870. Could also be a daughter of amos irish. Could polly be nichname for priscilla (who is daughter of amos)??

Oakland County Marriage Records show that a Polly Irish born 1831 married Jacob Irwin. If this is the same Polly, then the 1831-32 birthdate would rule out the Polly born 1812 as being the same person.

Also Priscilla Irish married Allen Sheldon and could not have been the same person living with William Irish in 1850, 1860 and 1870.

Pages 237 - 240

SENECA SHELDON, a representative farmer and stock-raiser of section 36, Atlas Township, Genesee County, was born March 9, 1832 in Warren County, N.Y. He is a son of Allen and Priscilla (Irish) Sheldon, both of whom were born in New York, and of their family this son was the eldest, and in his native county he had his early training and education. From youth he has been engaged in farming and has pursued this calling with the exception of four winters when he aided his father in getting out logs from the woods. He received a common-school education, and has been an extensive and judicious reader.

The marriage of Seneca Sheldon and Servilla Babcock took place, February 28, 1854. This lady was born in Washington County, N.Y., and is a daughter of John and Ruth Babcock, of Washington County, N.Y. In the spring of 1854 he came too Genesee County, and established himself on the farm where he now lives, which was then practically unbroken and uncultivated and contained no buildings.

Upon settling here Mr. Sheldon at first built a board house and in that resided until 1876, when he erected the home in which his family now resides. He owns one hundred and five acres of land and is practically a self-made man as he and his faithful helpmate have gained their property by their determination and unflagging industry. He is a democrat in his political views but cooperates with any of his neighbors in efforts too secure the best of the community.

Mr. Sheldon raises a fine grade of American-Merinoes and Stropshire sheep and ahs made for himself a splendid reputation in this department of stock-raising. Mr. Sheldon and his wife aaaee active members in society and have seen this locality grow from a wilderness too its present prosperous conditions. They endured and encountered the usual self denials and hardships and carried through a vast amount of hard work during pioneer times. They are highly esteemed and have a large circle of friends.

How do we know that William Irish of Fairgrove Township is the son of Sally Phelps?

Most of our basic information comes from the book by Willis L Irish, “Descendants of John Irish The Immigrant 1629-1963” The full contents of this book can be accessed online at:



According to Willis Irish, Sally Phelps married David Irish; they had 12 children and in 1837 moved to Groveland Township in Oakland County, Michigan. Eight sons and 2 daughters came with them. William was the 10th of 12 children, born 1834 in Fort Ann, New York.

According to Willis Irish, William was married to Polly. They settled in Fairgrove Township and had the following children: Alfred 1862, Sophronia 1867, Mary 1870, Nellie 1873 and Ida 1876. Willis Irish notes that he later remarried to Henrietta between 1876 and 1880. We know that Willis was incorrect on the Polly marriage. A simple review of the census records for 1860, 1870 and 1880 shows William was married to Henrietta. Birth records of Ida and Mary on file with the Tuscola County clerk show Henrietta as the mother. I have not yet found birth records on the other children. The census records for 1850, 1860 and 1870 do show a Polly Irish living in the same household with William. It also shows Polly as 22 years his senior and not as his spouse. My suspicion is Polly is an older sister. Willis does list a Polly born 1832 as a child of David and Sally Irish, but to match with the census information Polly would have to have been born in 1812. Polly remains a question mark, but she very definitely was not Williams’s wife. But in spite of the Polly Irish error all of the information in Willis Irish’s book matches our William Irish.

Sally’s last two children being born in 1843 and in 1846 when Sally was aged 57 and 60. Herb Phelps (a Phelps family researcher) reports that David and Sally were divorced on November 15, 1847 and that she died in Groveland Township on February 17, 1879. The 1850 Census shows David Irish married to Delilah Irish and there are no children living with them. I do not find Sally on the 1850 Census, although I do find her on the 1860 and 1870 Census living with her son Liberty B Irish.

Sally is most likely the person referenced in the quintuplets story. Here is a quote from a Herb Phelps message board post:

“(There was an article in the The Washington Post of March 10, 1808; "The wife of David IRISH of Westfield (Now Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY.)was delivered of five children, two sons and three daughters. They were alive when born , but died in a few hours. They altogether weighed seven pounds and five ounces." Note of this event was also made in the 1810 Census of Queensbury, Warren Co. NY.)
David's wife was Sally PHELPS daughter of Norman PHELPS Sr. of Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY. born July 31, 1785 in Hebron, Tolland Co. CT. They moved to Michigan in 1837 and David & Sally were divorced on November 15, 1847.
Sally died in Groveland, Oakland Co. MI on February 17, 1879”

Another reference:

“David Irish, with a wife and three children, was the last family listed in the 1810 census of Queenbury, Washington County, New York. At the bottom of the page, the census-taker wrote a footnote concerning David's wife as follows: 'This woman is 24 years old and has had 10 children, 5 of which were born at one and the same time.' This may be the first instance of quintuplets recorded in this country."
Printed in National Genealogical Society Quarterly, June 1965, Vol. 53.”

I have attached an image from the 1810 Census, with an asterisk in the David Irish column and a note below which says exactly what the above reference stated.

Some more references concerning this event:

The number of children caught our eye, so we looked at the family. The note is really there, and does appear to be marked for David.

The Irish families living in Queensbury in 1810 are:
Amos Irish
Andrew Irish
Benjamin Irish
David Irish
Jonathan Irish

There is an extremely well presented website for the Irish family at:
http://lthome.com/genealogy/

We copied the following information from there:
Benjamin Irish
Birth , 16 Mar 1749/50 , S. Kingston, Washington, RI
Father , Joseph Irish, b. 20 Apr 1724, S. Kingston, Washington Co., RI
Mother , Dorcas (Irish)
Group Sheet , F0918

1. Andrew Irish, b. BET 1765 AND 1784
2. David Irish, b. 23 Jan 1783
3. Amos Irish, b. 1786, Amenia, Dutchess, NY
4. Jonathan Irish, b. 27 Jul 1789, Warren or Washington Co., NY

This looks like the family.

It should be noted that though the census says that Mrs Irish had 10 kids, only 3 are living with them.

If this is true that Sally had ten children by 1810, only 1 of the children listed by Willis Irish in his book was born before 1810. That would mean 21 children!!!! With the last born at age 60. It seems only fair to ask a few questions. Was Sally really the wife who had the quintuplets? Was Sally really having children at age 60? I cannot answer the first question, but I can answer the second.

Job Irish born in 1843 is listed as the 11th child in Willis’s book. He is given id# 3493 in the book. But, reviewing the book we see that Sally’s son Liberty B had a son, also in 1843, also named Job who is id#3499 in the book. It seems odd that the same name would be duplicated not only in the same generation, but in the same year by close relatives living in the same Township. We have not seen this in the family before. The census records for 1850 show only 1 Job Irish and he is living with Liberty B Irish, not David or Sally. I have found the Oakland County Death Record for Job Irish. He died January 19, 1871 at the age of 27y 11m 6d, which would give a DOB of February 3, 1843. The death record shows he was born and died in Groveland Township of consumption. It lists parents of Liberty B and Jane Irish of Michigan. Based on the above information I conclude that Willis Irish was incorrect and that child number 11 was actually a grand child, the son of Liberty B and Sarah Jane Irish.

Norman Irish born in 1846 is listed as the 12th child in Willis’s book. He is given id# 3494 in the book. Willis lists the following information for Norman P: born 7-29-1846 died 9-9-1856, son of J.R. and S.J (we will see what this means, shortly) a footnote states buried in Ortonville Cemetery, Groveland Township, Oakland, Michigan. Reviewing the book we see that Liberty B Irish also had a child Norman P id# 3500 born in 1844 and died in 1915. Again, I find it odd that close relatives living close together would reuse the same name so quickly. A review of the Census records shows only one Norman Irish and he is living with Liberty J. We consult the Ortonville Cemetery Inscriptions copied by Merle Perry Jr in July of 1964. We see only one Norman buried there. The listing reads Irish, Norman P s/o LB & SJ died 9/9/1856 age 10y 1m 10d. s/o means ‘son of’ according to the books abbreviation guide. The age translates to DOB of 7/29/1846. The DOB and DOD match with Willis’s listing for Norman P, son of David and Sally. But, s/o LB & SJ means son of Liberty B and Sarah J. Willis had by some kind of typo translated LB to JR. Based on the above, I conclude that child number 12 was actually a grand child, the son of Liberty B and Sarah Jane Irish.

Therefore, William was the last child of David & Sally Irish. Unfortunately his death record does not list his parents and I have no source records to show Sally as William’s mother. So for now, we must rely on Willis Irish to show William’s parentage.

I have also ordered the complete Civil War pension file records of William Irish from the National Archives. We know he applied for a pension, but we do not know if he received one. If he did, there should be some interesting personal information on file. NARA (the National Archives) says 60 to 120 days to receive anything, or nothing if that is the case.
 
William W Irish
 
275 Born May 14, 1834 in Fort Ann, Washington, New York to Amos Irish and Vina Harris of Fort Ann. His parentage is confirmed by a Marriage Record filed in Lapeer County on 10 Aug 1901 where he lists the names of his parents. (The book, Descendants of John Irish, The Immigrant, lists his parents as David Irish and Sally Phelps, but we now know that is incorrect)

He married Henrietta Phelps, daughter of Reuben Gibson Phelps and Mary Crossett of Fort Ann in Kingsbury, Washington, New York by 1857. On his military pension application paperwork he listed this date as 1842, which is obviously incorrect, as he would have been only 8 at the time. In the 1850 Census he was living with Amos and Vina Irish without a wife. So perhaps he meant 1852. His first child was born abt May 1855. (Albert on the 6/13/1855 New York State Census for Fort Ann as 1 month old; apparently died young, does not appear on any future census)

On the 1855 New York State Census for Fort Ann he and Henrietta are living with his parents, Amos and Vina.

By the 1860 census he and Henrietta are living within a few households of his in-laws, Reuben G and Mary Phelps in Davison, Genesee, Michigan.

On 12/14/1861 he is living in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan where is listed on the Tuscola County marriage record of Henrietta’s aunt Sarah Rebecca Phelps; “I do hereby certify that on the fifteenth day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty one at the house of William Irish in the Township of Fairgrove Joseph O. Shultz aged twenty three and Sarah R Phelps aged sixteen years both of the Township of Fairgrove”

On 22 Aug 1864 William Irish joined the 29th Michigan Infantry to serve in the War of the Rebellion. He was a private stationed in Cowan, Tennessee. After prolonged exposure to an ice storm, while guarding a railroad bridge, he fell ill and spent the rest of his life with lung and digestive problems. He was discharged from the Army for medical reasons on 06 Sep 1865.

On the 1870 and 1880 census he is still living in Fairgrove with Henrietta.

His wife, Henrietta died, 5 Oct 1887. Her gravestone which is next to Williams in Moreland Cemetery in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan says; “Henriette Wife of Wm. Irish Jan 28, 1835-Oct 5 1887”.

On the 1900 Census he is living in Ellington, Tuscola, Michigan with his daughter Sophronia.

William remarried 10 Aug 1901 to Laura Murna, daughter of Julius Balwin and Lucinda Pierce, both of NY . She died about 1906-1907. We know no more about her. It is on this Lapeer County Marriage record where we find our only known record of his parents names.

On the 1910 census he is living in Almer, Tuscola, Michigan with his daughter Sophronia.

He died on 14 July 1913 in Caro where he was living with his daughter Ida. His gravestone in Moreland Cemetery, Fairgrove reads; “William Irish Pvt 29th Mich Inf July 14, 1915”. The year on the gravestone is obviously incorrect as his military pension records clearly show he died 7/14/1913, the Tuscola County death ledger shows 7/14/1913 and a probate file was opened in Tuscola County on 8/14/1914.

Willis Irish in his book has William married to Polly by 1855 and only marrying Henrietta, his housekeeper after Polly dies. That is incorrect. His military pension file shows he married Henrietta Phelps in Kingsbury, New York. We have Tuscola County birth records for two of their children, Mary and Ida which both show Henrietta as the mother. We have the marriage record for his son Alfred which also shows Henrietta as the mother. A form to obtain burial reimbursement from the bureau of pensions filed by his son-in-law after his death lists Henrietta as his first wife and Mrs. Murna as his second wife. The wives are numbered first and second and Polly is not mentioned. The 1855 New York state census lists Polly as a child of Amos. It is obvious that Polly is a sister to William.

William’s date of birth varies from 1830 to 1834 on the census records. He also supplied at least 3 different years of birth during his pension application process. The bureau of pensions finally accepted 1832 as correct. This would conflict with the 1850 census by two years, which is the earliest census record where his age is listed.

2/15/1909 affidavit of William Irish-

I make the following declaration, to correct a statement made by me on March 3, 1907 in which I stated I was 77 years of age born May 14, 1829. That was an error. I was born May 14, 1832 and am past 76 years of age. There is no record public or private of my (birth). (Ever) since I could remember I knew my birthday was May 14 and that I was born in 1832. My memory is not as good as when I was younger and when making the statement called on gave 1829 when I should have said 1832 which I am positive is the correct date.

Notes:(Nathaniel E Tallmadge is the husband of his daughter Sophronia Irish)
(John Abell is the husband of his daughter Ida Irish)

It should be noted that age has a bearing on the amount of pension paid. At age 62, age 70 and age 75 the rates go up. So there is an incentive for the pensioner to pad his age. William Irish’s earliest age record would be the Oct 1850 census where he was listed as 16. That would translate to a year of birth of 1834, which would make him younger and pay him less pension money. The book “The Descendants of John Irish” lists him at 1834. A listing of census dates, ages and translated years of birth recorded before the pension application is as follows:

Oct 1850 Census 16 1834
August 1860 Census 28 1832
June 1870 Census 39 1831
June 1880 Census 50 1830

So it would seem that every 10 years he aged 11 or 12 years! I would say that as the years went by he probably forgot his year of birth and the earlier entries listed are more likely to be correct. 1834, which was the earliest entry used would probably have the most likelihood of being correct.

The Tuscola County Birth Ledger entry for his daughter Mary Udora Irish lists William and Henrietta as both being born in Fort Ann, New York. The other birth, death and marriage records only list New York. William’s military pension application lists Washington County, New York as his place of birth.

Some notes on his Civil War Pension file from NARA: Verifies most of the info we already knew about William. The major exception is that nothing about his parents is stated. Added info about a 2nd wife later in life. As part of the pension process the government asked for statements from people who knew him and served with him in the army. There are 21 handwritten statements, some 3-4 pages long. The only name we have heard before is Samuel Fairbanks. Also statements from doctors paint a picture of a sickly man who had many difficulties as life went on. Amazing that he made it to 82 years of age. I find fascinating the statements from his fellow comrades in the military. In the winter of 1865 he was involved in guarding a railway bridge in Cowan, Tennessee. He was exposed to a violent sleet storm during a 6 hour guard shift. His corporeal who relieved him of guard duty said he was coated with ice. He got very sick, very bad cold, coughing and basically the rest of his life, slowly got worse. Coughing and lung problems never went away. Constant bouts of severe diarrhea throughout his life. Everyone who knew him stated that when he came back from the service he was constantly coughing. One said he came back half the man he once was. Medical conditions are catarrh and catarrah of the head, lung problems, kidney problems, partial deafness, intestinal problems. Some of the forms say 5'10" some 5'7". Weight from 115 lbs to 125 lbs. A doctor who examined him in 1885 (note-this was before Henrietta had died) stated emaciated, unable to walk around but for short distances, unable to work.

More Notes:
(P117-118) William Irish died July 14, 1913 per John Abell, his son-in-law, with whom he was living at the time at 214 E Goarty St (on numerous bureau records) (John Abell wrote in hand 214 E Grant St)(P99) in Caro, Mi. Buried in Moreland Cemetery. (in 1900 and 1910 he was staying with Sophronia, but in 1913 when he died he was staying with Ida).

(P128, P123) (William Irish stated he was born in Washington County, New York.)

(P117) 1st wife was Henrietta Phelps who died about 10/5/1888 (note: we show 10/5/1887 per cemetery record) 2nd wife was Mrs Neuezna (Neuersna?Neuerna?Neuerma?) first name unknown died about 1906 (this was per John Abell on Application for Reimbursement Form on April 18,1914)(must have been married after 1900, cause not show up on any census) (Unusual that the children did not know her first name)

(P106) Married 1842 in Kingsbury, Washington County, New York. He stated never previously married. Per Pension form filled out June 4, 1898 by William Irish. Note:(obviously incorrect date, he would have been 8 at the time. Another reason why we have problems with dates) (we know from the census it would be after 1850. 1st child born 1857) (Kingsbury is just south of Fort Ann on the map)

(P137) Original pension application filed May 16, 1888. (This would have been after Henrietta had died) (this appears to be the earliest form)

(P6) Sept 10, 1890-pension application form-not the first application.

(P12) July 27, 1888 bureau of pensions requests records from war dept

(P37) Nov 27,1890-deposition of Wm Irish explaining his illness. Witness Miss Nettie Irish and James E. Hoye (James E Hoye was an employee of the Bureau of Pensions in East Saginaw.)

(P97) Another document witnessed by Miss Nettie Irish.

This shows us that Nettie is the going name for his daughter Nellie (who would have been 18 at the time) The two references I had earlier come up with for Nettie Irish who I believed could be William’s daughter, now I am sure that they are his daughter.

On May 27, 1912---

William Irish corrected his date of birth to May 14, 1831.

It should be noted that age has a bearing on the amount of pension paid. At age 62, age 70 and age 75 the rates go up. So there is an incentive for the pensioner to pad his age. William Irish’s earliest age record would be the Oct 1850 census where he was listed as 16. That would translate to 1834, which would make him younger and pay him less pension money. The book “The Descendants of John Irish” lists him at 1834. (I would imagine that date is from the census records) A listing of census dates, ages and translated years of birth recorded before the pension application is as follows:

Oct 1850 Census 16 1834
August 1860 Census 28 1832
June 1870 Census 39 1831
June 1880 Census 50 1830

So it would seem that every 10 years he aged 11 years. I would say that as the years went by he probably forgot his year of birth and the earlier entries listed are more likely to be correct. I doubt we will ever really know, though. I am entering 1834 as the preferred date, though, as that was the earliest entry.

In his pension packet on page 123 & 127 he states that he was born in Washington County, New York.

Johann Michael Johann was born on 28 February 1739 in Ober-Schönmattenweg (east of Weinheim), today in Baden-Württemberg. He immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and settled in the colony of Veltenhof. He married on 26 May 1760 in the colony of Fredericia (Denmark) to Eva Margaretha Sattler. She was born in about 1736 in Affolterbach.
They immigrated to Russia in 1763, and arrived in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764. They and their children are recorded on the 1767census of Anton where Michael is serving as the Vorsteher (mayor) in Household No. 1.

From http://www.russia-colonists.eu/wandere.htm by Gerhard Lang
MIGRATION OF COLONISTS FROM GERMANY IN 1761 TO SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND LATER TO THE VOLGA IN 1763.
In 1761, the Danish king (Duke of Schleswig-Holstein) recruited people from souther Germany to settle in Schleswig-Holstein, to drain the bogs and swamps and make the land productive. Many Germans answered the appeal. Later the worsening economic situation and resentment by local domestic workmen caused some colonists to break their contract with the king and desert. As the number of desertions increased, provision was made for colonists to apply for permission to leave.
At the same time, czarina Katharina the Great issued the manifesto that encouraged people to come to Russia. Among the inducements was provision for advance payment of colonist costs for the journey. There was a resident recruiter of colonists in Kiel.
The colonist records in Schleswig show that many colonists left, some requesting permission to do so while others simply deserted without a trace. Transport lists of those leaving from Travemünde and Lübeck are not to be found.
The Kuhlberg lists do provide listings of colonists arriving in Russia. The Volga village census records are another source. By comparing family names and ther names and ages of family members, I come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that many of the families that left Schleswig-Holstein became colonists on the Volga.

I am looking for any information on Alanson A. Smith. I think he might be my great great grandfather. I found him in the 1920 census living with a daughter in Mankato Township. If this is the right person he at one time lived in Tuscola County MI (Caro). He had a brother or uncle by the name of Freeman Smith. I cannot read the daughters name on the census entry. He was married in 1863 to Emily Shultz. She died in Caro MI on January 1, 1865. They had a son named Albert A. Smith who later changed his name to Albert A. Kile. He was adopted by Gearhart and Nancy Shultz Kile. Any of this sound familiar to any of you? Please email me direct if you have a connection. Thanks,

Hello,
I am really not sure if it is the same person. My great great grandfathers name was Gearhart Kile. He was born 01-28-1816. He died on 09-28-1896. He married Nancy (maiden name unknown) on 02-08-1838. Do not know when she died. They adopted Albert Smith on 01-03-1865. His name was not changed to Kile until 1885 because he had to be 21 first before they could legally change his name. His birthdate is 11-04-1864 and he died on 11-12-1937. They lived in the area around Caro, MI. Albert married Janet Johnston. They are both buried in the cemetary somewhere outside of Caro, MI. They had 5 children, Thresea, Ella, Sadie, Bessie, and Milton Thomas who was my grandfather. By all means contact me if there is a link. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G. KILE was born in Pennsylvania in 1852, and came to Tuscola County with his parents in 1856, and settled upon the farm now owned and occupied by the subject of this sketch. His father, N. Kile, died in July 1858. Mr. Kile was married in October, 1880, to Miss Tilley Fritz, of Pennsylvania, and has one son. His farm contains 160 acre of land on sections 12 and 13.

G. KILE, SR., was born in Columbus County, Pa., in 1818, remaining there until he became of age. In 1838 he was married to Miss Nancy Schultz, of that county, and soon thereafter bought a piece of land in the locality and commenced farming for himself, which he continued until 1852 when he sold out and came to Michigan. He at first rented a farm near Ann Arbor, upon which he resided two years, when he came to the township of Juniata and, after traveling a long distance through the unbroken wilderness, took up the farm upon which he now resides, and subsequently added eighty acres, making him a farm of 160 acres.
