[NI00020] Charles Wolf was the name used by Charles Beebe when he served in the
Civil War in Alabama.

[NI00035] The story was told that he was in the south part of the county driving
cattle
home for the winter when some broke away. Frank swam the Kankakee River
and
walked home, many miles, in his soaked clothing. The over exposure
resulted
in acute pnuemonia and gripple. His death at age 31 shocked the community.
He lived in Porter County his entire life. Attended Valparaiso University
where he studied languages, including French, German & Spanish.

[NI00037] 1900 moved from Elkhart, Indiana to Flasher, North Dakota; 1909 bought a
farm in Klamouth Falls, OR & i in Lynden, WA. Moved to the latter; 1917
moved
back to ND; 1925 moved to Peace River in British Columbia w/ son Frank;
1940 moved to Oaksville, WA w/ son John.

[NI00039] Ida May was driving to Valparaiso some months after Frank's death when her
horse became frightened at a train; the carriage overturned and a spoke of
the wheel pierced her lung. She did not recover from the accident and
died a
few months later. The 3 children then living were reared by relatives.

[NI00042] Died while in college. It is known that she was living at the time of her
father's death, when she would have been over 6 yrs old (according to the
ages of the other known younger children). After her mother's death,
she went with her sister Vera to live with their uncle Elmer Wolf.

[NI00043] After her mother's death, Vera went with her sister Ruby to live with
their uncle Elmer Wolf. Completed her grammar school education in
Morton Co., North Dakota. Attended Randolph Macon College until her work
was interrupted by a severe illness. She and Ed ran a diary farm near
Flasher, N.D. until 1928, when they moved to her native county.
She died there of diabetes.

[NI00044] Kenneth was less than 1 yr old when his father died and a little over 2
when
his mother died. He then lived with his paternal grandmother Susan Wolf,
at
the home of his uncle Martin Wolf until he was about 13. At that time his
grandmother died and his uncle moved Chicago & later to California.
Kenneth
then lived with his Elmer Wolf for 2 yrs, then with his maternal aunt
Phoebe Arnold Eaton. He graduated from Valparaiso HS. He earned a degree
at
Purdue university in 1915. [SOURCE: Clara Joan (Shafer) Cullison. 1997]

[NI00049] Graduated from Valparaiso university, where she also did post-graduate
work
and won a gold medal in grand recital. She was to teach music at the
University of Louisiana, a plan she gave up when she married. The young
couple moved to Lynden, Washington 2 yrs after their marriage. They sold
out
in 1918 in order to homestead in the Peace River Country, B.C.,
where she died. [SOURCE: Clara Joan (Shafer) Cullison. 1997]

[NI00053] Never married

[NI00054] Attended Washington State College. Operated a saw mill. Never married.

[NI00080] The identity of Mary, the mother of the Barmore clan, is shrouded in the mysts of time, possibly forever. It is further confounded by her daughter-in-law, Mary Smith, wife of James Barmore, as these early minutes of the Turkey Creek Baptist Church attest:

[NI00080] 1785 - Mary Baremore - dismission
1786 - Nov. 11 -- received Mary Baremore by letter
Were these refering to Mary, wife of Goerge Sr., or wife of James?
~~~~~~~
In 1979 we found some documents in Charleston which contained relationships we could not place. And still I cannot determine their exact relationship, but I know this info sheds light on the ancestry of at least one of these two Marys. Please let me know if you have more
clues!

[NI00080] "Settlement of Estate of Mary C Dupont" dated 7 May 1818, SC Archives, Misc. Records, Vol 4-0, pp. 391-393.

[NI00080] "Mary Colley Dupont, late of Charleston, widow, deceased did in & by her last will & testament bearing date 8th day of August in the year of our Lord 1816..."

[NI00080] Quoting the will, "...to my nephew Jesse W Norris as the sun full due. To the 5 children of Mrs Elizabeth Reeves of Pendelton District $100 each, to the children of John Swain the sum of $500 between them in equal share.... All the rest of the proceeds of the sales of the said lotts,
houses, & shares, I direct shall be equally divided between my nephews & nieces, viz John Swain, Mary Swain, & Robert Swain of Abbeville and Elizabeth Reeves & Jane Norris of Pendleton Districts share & share alike "

[NI00080] "And whereas we are all at present residing at a distance from Charleston & cannot give our personal attendance there for the purpose of receiving our said proportions of the rest & residues of the net proceeds of the sales of the said real & personal property... Now know ye that we John Swain, James Barmore & Mary his wife, late Mary Swain & Robert Swain of the district of Abbeville and John Reeves & Elizabeth Reeves his wife and Jane Norris widow of John Norris of the district of Pendelton in the state oforesaid have jointly & saverally made ordained & constituted & appointed & by there presents do jointly and lawfully make ordain constitute & appoint Jesse W Norris our true & lawful attorney...."

[NI00080] Signed by John Swain, James Barmore, Mary Barmore, Robert Swain, John Reeves, Elizabeth Reeves, Jane Norris. Sealed & delivered in the presence of John Reeves Jr & Ezekial Norris. South Carolina, Pendelton District
~~~~~~~
Thus, either James was a nephew or Mary was a niece of Mary Dupont and VERY closely related to the Swain family. It seems likely to me that the late Mary Swain was either the mother of James or Mary [prob. Mary]. Why else would they be the only ones not mentioned directly as the heads of family in the will, but as recipients of the residue of the estate, which
went to Mary Dupont's nieces & nephews.
~~~~~~~
Margaret Watson in her "Greenwood County Scetches," pp. 373-374, talks about the Nimrod Smith family which came from Prince William Co., VA to the Turkey Creek Community in Abbeville Distrist. He would have been just a tad younger than Mary Smith Barmore. Several children of Nimrod Smith married Swain. This connection seems hopeful and I will be looking into this in the future.

[NI00125] Some years after George Barmore's death, his widow, Nancy (Pyles) Barmore, with her children (with the exception of James) moved to Alabama. She at one time lived in Pickens County, Alabama, near McBee Creek and near where Robert Henry lived: in the northwestern part of the county, near the Alabama - Mississippi line. Her son Dale is said to have been killed in a storm there. In 1850 she was living with her son, Newton N. Barmore, in Fayette County, Alabama, and in 1860 she was living with him in Wellborn Township, Conway County, Arkansas, in or near the town of Lewisburg.

[NI00214] Sgt. Milford N. Barmore, now stationed in Africa while en route to an unannounced destination, stresses the importance of mail to the boys in the armed forces in a letter received this week by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Barmore, Coleman [Texas].

[NI00214] Sgt. Barmore, member of the AAF, writes as follows:

[NI00214] Somewhere in Africa
Feb. 28, 1944
Dear Mom and Dad:

[NI00214] Well, how are you making it by now? As for me I am still kicking, but a little lonesome and blue. But I guess everyone on this side of the pond is that way, so I guess I'm not by myself.

[NI00214] I am still in Africa. Don't know how long I will remain in the place where I am now. The natives here are a sight to see. Some times I wish that I had brought my camera with me, so I could get some pictures of the different places I've been and will be so I could take them back to the States with me. The natives all dress in long robes and are all barefooted.

[NI00214] I will be glad to get to my destination. That is if I have one. Maybe I will have some mail. It has been so long since I have gotten a letter from anyone. It will really be good to hear how things are still going back there at home. But I guess it is all about the same. I used to think
that it was pretty dull there around home. But, believe me, when you get over here where you can't drop in just anywhere and get a "coke" or some ice cream, you remember the good old place you call home.

[NI00214] I would be perfectly satisfied this morning if I was back there. Yes, I guess I would just lay around for awhile, just enjoying the pleasure of living. Then I would be content to get somewhere and settle down. That sounds funny, me wanting to settle down, doesn't it? But a little place to call my own is all I want when I return. I guess a lot of us boys will be changed when we get back. I know I will.

[NI00214] Well, I had better close for now. Be real good and keep things going back there, and we'll all be home soon I'm sure. It's just the backing that keeps things rolling over here. Write every chance you get. Because I will be longing for your good letters. Until then I remain,

[NI00214] Your loving son, BILL

[NI00466] At the 8 Feb 1817 meeting of Turkey Creek Baptist Church, "Sr Sally Dodson applied through Br Wm Long for a letter of dismission" which was granted. This probably indicates the time when Wm & Sarah Dodson & their family left Abbeville Co. & moved to Tuscaloosa Co., AL.

[NI00466] The minutes of Old Union Primitive Baptist church of Fayette Co., AL, of which Lemuel Dodson served as Church clerk for many yrs, show that Sarah (Sally) Dodson was rec'd into their fellowship. No mention is found in these minutes of Wm Dodson, and it is assumed that he left the church permanently after being disowned by Turkey Creek Church in 1816.

[NI00558] Wills of Richmond County, VA, Vol 5, FHC microfilm 0033677, pg 20: Will of John Gower: "beloved wife Susanna Gower; son Francis Gower; his 3 sisters Anne, Winifred, Elizabeth; son Francis Gower; daughter Ann Thrift; daughter Elizabeth Gowwer; wife Susannah Gower; daughter Winifred Gower." At court 5 Oct 1726.

[NI00571] Michael & Anna moved across Saluda River from Laurens Co. into Abbeville
(Greenwood) Co. early in the 1790s. Their home was near Ware Shoals on the
south side of the road leading to Shoals Junction. Both became members of
Turkey Creek Baptist Church in 1792. His tombstone reads Michael McGee and
"he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War." His name is spelled Magee in
church records. In his estate settlement "McGee" is the spelling, but
some of
his children spelled their names Magee.

[NI00572] Mrs. Paul G. Herman of Burbank, CA, assembled family data over a period of
nearly 40 years and in 1968 compiled a booklet, "The Descendants of
Michael McGee & Anna Melvina Simms." A copy of this very detailed listing
was
given to the County Historical Society collection in the Greenwood Public
Library. The records which follow in this database are in part from the
book
"Greenwood County Sketches" by Margaret Watson, 1970, which are condensed
from said work.

[NI00573] William was a farmer, preacher and contractor. He built a short stretch
of the
railroad westward from Greenwood. Minutes of Turkey Creek & Walnut Grove
Baptist churches mention sermons by "Rev. William Magee."
He moved to Anderson County.

[NI00574] Of William & Aseneth's nine children, only three remained in the area:
Michael, Nancy Louisa, and Abner Hill.

Indenture made 7 July 1835 between Robert Dowdy of the state of Alabama and the County of Benton to William M. Bell of the state of Georgia, County of Hall, for $650.00 one tract on the waters of Walnut Creek originally granted James King and Robertson, adjoining John Lott.
Witnesses: J. B. Payne, Robert Dowdy, James McConnel, JP.
Recorded 10 July 1835

[NI00613] SOURCE: "Notable Southern Families" Vol 3, by Zella Armstrong in 1926.
The surname, Tonnelier, derived from an occupation, meaning "barrel maker or cooper." Our ancestors were French Huguenots who escaped their native France because of religious persecution, several years after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Guillaume, his wife, and first son, Guillaume, fled to England in 1702 and settled near Scarbrough, North Riding, Yorkshire. There, the name was Anglocized to Tunnel. The second L was added after the family later came to America.

[NI00613] HISTORY LESSON: The Edict of Nantes (April 13, 1598) during the reign of Henry IV (1589-1610) put an end to religious conflicts, as a result of long negotiations with the assemblies of the Protestant churches. Protestants (Huguenots) were given the right to live in the Kingdom and equality of citizenship; their worship could be celebrated privately in the houses of seingeurs haut-justiciers (greater nobles), and publicly in places where it was celebrated in 1576 or where its celebration had been permitted by edicts of 1557, 1579 and 1580. Whereas all these terms constituted a state of toleration rather than freedom of conscience, there were additional privileges as well, including the right to fortify the places they still held and the right to hold assemblies of the religion. Louis XIV (1661-1715), the "most Christian king and eldest son of the church," considered himself the ruler of the souls of his subjects. Thus he felt himself called upon to establish the unity of the faith (Catholicism) and to repress all dissent.

[NI00622] "On July 8 Charles (3) Dodson leased land in old Rappahannock County.
Rappahannock Co. became extinct in 1692 being divided into Essex and
Richmond counties. Charles (3) Dodson owned land in both counties but
resided in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va., where he became a
large land owner.

[NI00622] "The records show that from 1680 to 1692 he was busy acquiring land which
he and his sons proceeded to improve, and indicated that he had the
confidence of his neighbors. We find him witnessing various documents and
on several occasions he is named in wills as Executor. In a will of John
Lincoln dictated Dec. 18, 1686, the comment was made in the affidavit of
witnesses that the maker of the will 'would have no other but Charles
Dodson as his executor
although several insisted that he have his wife.'

[NI00622] "Until 1686 the Episcopal Church was the State church in Virginia. All
children, regardless of religious affiliation, were required to be
baptized by the ministers of the church. Dates of birth and names of
their parents were recorded in the parish registers. The same information
was taken of marriages and burials. These church records are preserved.
They are available in the Virginia State Library in Richmond, Va.

[NI00622] Source: "Ancestors of Robert Dodson and His Descendants." Written by Mrs.
C. T. Dodson; Illustrated by Miss Oneida Uzzell. Privately published,
[1964?] (Note: This book is 115 p. and is located in the Dallas Public
Library, Dallas, TX, call # R929.2 D647d). References found online at href="http://pages.prodigy.net/wchs/puzzles.html"> Dodson Puzzles.

[NI00622] In his Will, Charles Dodson, Sr. bequeathed to his wife, Ann, and to his
daughters "moveable estate." To each of his sons, he gave a tract of land
with the restriction that the land could not be sold out of the Dodson
name "escept that one brother selleth to another and if no male heir
appeareth by none of my sons that then my Daughters may Inherit the
Land." This provisio caused some consternation and problem for those of
his sons who later wanted to sell out & leave the area. Several, upon
deciding to leave, sold to brothers; one leased to another man "for three
natural lifetimes."

[NI00623] Benjamine Dodson gave his daughter a legacy of land on the James River in
Essex Co., VA, May 1652. This joined John Hill, Sr.'s land.

[NI00623] Ann married John Hill Jr. by 3 July 1706 on which date John Hill and
wife, Anne, executrix of the Last Will & Testament of Charles Dodson,
dec'd, petitioned the court for an appraisement of the estate. The court
ordered John Rankin, William Smoote, John Mills & Richard White, or any 3
of them, to meet at the house of John Hill and appraise & inventory the
estate & reprot to the next court [Richmond Co. Order Bk 4, p. 171].

[NI00623] Thomas Dodson brought an action in court "against John Hill marrying the
Executrix of Charles Dodson." The action was dismissed by the court on 3
Apr 1707, "the plaintiff not prosecuting" [Richmond Co. Order Bk 4, p/
262]. The reason for the court action was not explained.

[NI00627] In 1768, shortly before his death, Abraham Dodson & Wm. Stamps were 2 of
the trustees of the Baptist Church to whom Jacob Hays and wife,
Katherine, sold one acre, "being part of the land where Hays now lives"
[Fauquier deeds 3-151]. Apparently this was the site of Broad Run Church.

[NI00628] Barbary Dodson evidently had problems with her faith, for the
notification is given beside her name on the membership roll "consigned
1772." The meaning of this is unclear but could mean that she was
banished or excluded from membership because of some noncomformity. On 29
July 1780, Joseph Drury was appointed to the task of bringing Sister
Barbary Dodson "to our next meeting to answer her Censor which has laid a
long time."

[NI00629] Enoch & Elizabeth Dodson signed the church charter for Turkey Creek
Baptist
Church which was adopted soon after the church was constituted
(i.e., soon after Jan. 22, 1785).
Enoch's will, filed at Abbeville, was signed in 1811, 5 years before he
died.

Dowdy Family Bible

[NI00724] OBITUARY for Marcus L. Dowdy (from newspaper clipping): "Was born in Monroe County Georgia, 1824; died Feb 5, 1897; age 72 years and two months. Died with congestion of the heart. Only lived 30 minutes after he was taken. He had went to Hico on business; was taken sick in town; a doctor was called in at once, but to no avail; the angel of death had come, whose mission is sure, and taken him home. Bro. Dowdy emigrated to Alabama with his parents in 1834. In 1845 was married to Miss Bettie Sides. To this union was born 12 children; four are dead and eight living. In 1850 emigrated to Houston County, Texas. Professed a hope in Christ in 1860. United with Antioch church same year. Was baptized by Eld. Mose Denman. In 1871 drew his letter and moved to Erath county, Tex., and united with Hopewell church. In 1879 was ordained to the office of deacon. Surely a good man and true friend to Israel is gone. He was known by all Baptists in this country, especially the care worn minister. His doors were ever open to brethren; always ready to help them in time of need. Much could be said of this great man, but this is sufficient. The old sister wants the Baptists to know that her doors will be open to them as long as she lives."

[NI00746] "I have proved the Bailey genealogy back to the 1630s. I have records back to 1583, but have not proved that they are the same family, only that I have record that William Bailey, born in 1583, came to America in 1608. He had a son named Thomas. Thomas & Stephen Bailey bought land side by side in VA at the same time. By records of their ages, Stephen could be, and I believe, the son of Thomas.

From "Early Settlers of Lee Co., VA", p. 29:
"Stephen Bailey, the immigrant, is believed to be the progenitor of the Lee Co., VA, Baileys. His descendants have spread over Virginia and other states. He received a land grant in 1657 from the King of England, in Northumberland (later Westmoreland Co.,) VA. "A descendant of Stephen
Bailey, Mrs. Clara Bailey Beal, kindly wrote the following: 'Stephen Bailey was seated on the bluff overlooking the river at Kinsale, VA, in 1657. The property is still in the hands of the Bailey family and the graveyard well kept.' "Stephen Bailey married Ann Walker, widow of William Walker. His will was probated in 1697. It named his sons William and John, and daughters Ann and Mary Smith, and Ann, daughter of Stephen Bailey, indicating he had another son named Stephen."

[NI01158] "Wordens Pond is an irregular sheet of water, I should judge one or two miles North and South, and two or three East and West.. Part of its shores are wooded and swampy, and the water in it quite shallow, as shown by the grass growing in it for some distance. I suppose it has been the baptismal grave of many hundreds. Uncle Lake Sanders said the Pond, with the waters into and from it, 'used to be capital for fishing; before the plaguey Mills spoiled it.' The Legislature of 1783 passed 'an act for draining Worden's Pond,' and in 1811 an 'inquiry' was made about it: so I conclude nothing was done to 'the Great Pond,' as styled by some of the present day" [1868]. [Src: ONW, p47]

[NI01159] Enoch studied medicine at the Medical College of SC at Charleston, and
with Abbeville physician Dr. Marshall Weatherall. He began his practice
in 1830. After his marriage, he moved to the village of Due West, SC and
continued his practice until poor health caused him to retire from
practice. He then operated a store in Due West. He was on the first Board
of Trustees of Erskine College when it was opened in 1839.

with his father & sisters. Their home site is not known, but is believed
to be
near the town of Hodges named c. 1855 for John's oldest son. John joined
the
Revolutionary forces when he was 15. His pension record shows he joined on
1 Apr 1780 as a private & served 21 months. He was later called Major &
may
have been an officer in the state militia.

[NI01446] The Jennings family came from England, but just when it came no
chronicler has
ever been able to determine. We can however, authentically go back to
Israel
Jennings, who was born about 1774. Originally New England colonists, his
ancestors had braved the frontier, and Israel spent his youth in Mason
Co.,
Kentucky. Married at age 25, the couple moved to Illinois and raised a
family
of 8 children at Walnut Hill. *"The Life of William Jennings Bryan."

[NI01535] Concering Rebecca Richmond, wife of Peter IV. I had a middle name of Thurston. This is incorrect. This information has been circulating around for years and it was speculated whether Thurston was her maiden name and Richmond was her name by a first marriage. There was a Rebecca Thurston who married a Richmond but she was not the one who married Peter Worden. Rebecca Richmond Worden is named in her father's will as "my daughter." She is a Richmond by birth. Many have tried to dispel this early bad genealogy.

2 daughters burn in the flames. Many years later Dorothy & her native son
return... See notes on daughter, Dorothy for more...

"Matthew was a man of powerful physique and the champion wrestler of
Athens
Co., Ohio. It is said that on one occassion a man who considered himself
the
champion of Kentucky, walked all the way from his home to Athens in
search of
Matt Dorr, hoping to defeat him in a fight. However, Matt turned the
tables &
the defeated Kentucky champ returned home a sadder, wiser man."
~~~~~~~
Cheryl Wright did extensive work in the process of getting the Dorr
family entered into "First Families of Athens County." Although 3 Dorrs
appear on the plaque of the Athens County Courthouse as founders, and
it's well known they were in the party that first arrived and settled
Athens, it had to be proven on paper. She's also been successful in
entering our family into Athens County's Civil War Families. If you are
ever wanting additional information about any of Athens County's settlers
you can contact the Athens County Historical Society and Museum. They're
very active in getting all this information preserved. They also have
many indices of old court records and some cemetery gravestone listings,
and are always working to get more in print.

[NI02482] In Loving Memory of Marian T. Busse

[NI02482] Marian was born in a farmhouse outside of Holloway, MN, in the same house where her father had been born. Her father delivered her, and evidently named her Dorothy, then renamed her later, a fact that was not made known to her until applying for her birth certificate after she was married. She was the eldest daughter and the 4th child of 12 born to Walter and Alida Rohloff.

[NI02482] Marian was received into the kingdom of God through Holy Baptism on May 15, 1921. On Apr. 10, 1938, she publicly professed her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was confirmed in her family's church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Holloway, MN.

[NI02482] Marian's large family saw very hard times. As one of the older children, she helped in the fields, did the milking, and took care of the younger children. She married Reuben Busse on Nov. 28, 1940, when she was 19 years old. They lived on a farm for a time. After a hailstorm took their crops, they moved to Minneapolis. There Reuben worked at an auto body shop and Marian worked in a defense plant.

[NI02482] In 1942 Reuben joined the Navy. He was stationed in Minnesota and Florida before being sent to the Santa Rosa Naval Air Station. Reuben, Marian, and their 2 year old, Jerome, moved here in 1945. They stayed after Reuben's discharge from the service to make California their home.

[NI02482] Along with her husband, Marian was a charter member of Mount Olive Lutheran Church. Her son, Jerome, was a member of the first Sunday School class and one of the first to be confirmed at Mt. Olive. Marian was actively involved in Mt. Olive's Women's Missionary League and a past president and treasurer.

[NI02482] Marian was widowed in 1993, after 52 years of marriage. She remained actively involved in her church and community until her recent illness. She was a dedicated member and supporter of the Sebastopol Senior Center.

[NI02482] Marian was with her son and his wife, at her home in Sebastopol where she had lived for most of her 58 years in California, when she peacefully passed into the arms of our Lord, on Wed., Apr. 16, 2003, one day after she turned 82.

[NI02482] Marian leaves behind her son and daughter-in-law, Jerome and Priscilla Busse of Calistoga; her granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and great granddaughter, Kara, Fred, and Kariann Sanderson of Sebastopol; 2 step-grandchildren, Don and Joy Ross; and 2 step-great grandchildren, Christina and Benjamin Ross. She is also survived by 3 brothers, Walter Rohloff of CA, and Dennis Rohloff and David Rohloff of MN; and 3 sisters, Freda Miller, Elaine Gadbois, and JoAnn Schnitzler, all of MN.

[NI03907] Migrated to Switzerland & Holland about age 17. He left the upper Rhine Oberthein Germany, the section of the Rhine River between Basel & Mainz, with his father; fleeing war, a harsh winter, heavy taxation & religious persecution around 1729. Jonathan & his family arrived on the QUEEN ELIZABETH in Philadelphia in 1738.

[NI03910] Born Jonathan Heinrich Seitz III. Died Henry Sides in 1830, age 96. Was 4
years old when his parents came to America. Led a large family group to
Walker Co., Alabama in 1818.

[NI03918] Andrew Felsinger, age 51, arrived in Philadelphia on September 16, 1738, on the Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by his daughter Dorothea Elizabeth, who had married John Henry Seitz, age 26. Felsinger, after his arrival, took up land in Bucks County, PA, to the North of Philadelphia, in the area which subsequently became Northhampton County in 1752. In the late 1740's, John Henry Seitz and his wife moved South to North Carolina and located in the Trans-Catawba Settlement in old Anson County (present Lincoln County). Felsinger, however, remained in Northampton County, PA, and eventually died there in 1767. On July 8, 1766, Felsinger made a Will in Northampton County. (Will book 1, page 31), in which he divided up his estate as followed:

[NI03918] THE ANDREW FELSINGER WILL:
Andreas Feltzinger (Felsinger?) of Lower Saucon Twp.

[NI03918] To wife Anna Margaretha L116 - 1 cow - 1 iron stove - and all the rest of my household goods.

[NI03918] My Godson Andreas, L4 - 1 suit of clothes, that I wore on Sunday and 4 shirts. To my daughter Dorothea Elizabeth, the wife of John Henry Seitz now, residing in the province of North Carolina --20's -- also 20's. To her husband John Henry Seitz -- (if her husband is dead according to a letter from her), then Dorothea shall have an equal part and share with the rest of my lawful issue (my grandson excepted).

[NI03918] All the rest of my goods except those above mentioned to be divided amongst the lawful issue of my said daughter Dorothea, as shall survive me in equal parts when they become 21 or on the day of marriage.

[NI03918] Executor: Son-In-Law Christopher Waggoner, Esq., of Lower Saucon Twp.
Witnesses: Valentine Opp, Godfreyd Richtor. 8 July, 1766.

[NI03918] An addition seems to have been made to the Will, by December 7, 1767, in which the following provision is made:

[NI03918] "What I gave to my wife is in lieu of her dowry and includes the bond of L66 (now in the hands of Christopher Waggoner, Esq.), being money which said Anna Margaretha his wife brought to me at the time of her marriage".

[NI03918] Witnesses: Valentine Opp, Godfreyd Richtor. Proved 7 December 1767.

[NI03918] It is not made clear in the Will, whether the younger Andreas was a Godson or a grandson; however, the implication seems to be that he was a grandson, perhaps the son of a deceased older Andreas. Christopher Waggoner, the son-in-law who was the executor of the Will, was a well known land owner and political figure in Northampton County, PA.

[NI03918] Waggoner was also the executor of the Will of Andrea's wife Anna Margaretha, when she subsequently died in 1775. It is possible that Christopher Waggoner was some how related to the younger Christopher Waggoner, who was intermarried with the Cagle's of Cabarrus County, NC and Davidson County, TN. One interesting feature of the Felsinger Will, is the fact that the Christopher Waggoner family does not seem to inherit money or property from Felsinger. No reason for this seeming omission has been discovered; however, it is possible that Waggoner and his wife, since they lived near Felsinger in PA, had already been given their share of Felsinger's estate before the Will was drawn up.

[NI03921] Regarding Andrew Felsinger, it is known that the Inventory of Property for his estate sale was drawn up in 1768, and that the Account of Sale was made in 1770. It was apparently in response to this sale, that John Cagle of Cumberland County, NC., sent back to PA in 1770, to collect a share of Felsinger's estate.

[NI03921] In 1770, John Cagle of Cumberland County, NC., gave power of attorney to Simon Hart (His neighbor in 1764 to 1770) who was to go back to Sorkney in PA. and collect their (Cagle, Seitz, and Klob) interest in the estate of Andrew Felsinger, who died in 1766 or 1767.

[NI04587] I have visited with Fannie Holley, daughter of Oliver Barmore. On one
visit, she took us to the cemetery in Pioneer, LA, where her grandfather
Thomas and wife are buried. Thomas fought in the Civil War along with
Edward Coulter, his brother-in-law, at Vicksburg, MS. It was in Tom
Barmore's Bear Camp where Teddy Roosevelt was a guest. There is a picture
of Teddy and Tom Barmore and wife and son Charles and wife and two of
Charles' children, taken during this visit, shown in this book. There is
a small community in that area called Roosevelt that is supposedly the
place where Teddy came on a train and unloaded his hunting equipment for
this hunt. There is a book "Genealogy of the DODSON, LUCAS, PYLES,
ROCHESTER, AND ALLIED FAMILIES" by S. Emmett Lucas Jr, Copyright June
1959. It has lots of information about these families. A copy of this
book was found in the library, Pine Bluff, AR by Phil Carter.

[NI05110] Age 5 to 10 in 1830 census, confirmed in 1840 census.

[NI05112] According to the research of Jackie Shirley, he found that Henry died of
pneumonia at Vicksburg, Miss. during the seige of Vicksburg during the
Civil
War. This has not been confirmed, but this Henry does not reappear
anywhere
aft 1860 except the birth of his 2nd son, Henry Thomas Shirley. In the
1860
census he is shown living next to George Shirley and his family consisted
of
1 child which was Wm David Shirley.

[NI05127] In 1880 Cynthia T Shirley is shown in Fayette Co, AL with 2 sons, living
next
door to her father, Wm Bird & family. It appears that Cynthia cont. to
live
with Henry Thomas & family as shown in the 1900 census in Fayette Co, AL.
She
evidently moved Jones Co, TX with Henry's family & cont. to reside in the
Ella Jane Shirley household aft the death of her son. She is prob. buried
in
Anson, but this isn't confirmed. She could be buried at Bethel since Wm's
first wife & 2 of his children are buried there.

[NI05140] According to a write up in the Anson paper about Will Shirley, they moved
to
Alabama soon after the start of the Civil War.

stayed
home & ran the farm.

[NI05158] Wm "Lloyd" Shirley moved with his parents to Jones Co, TX in 1906 &
settled in Elliot, about 6 mi. south of Anson. His father died the next
yr, leaving him to tend the farm since he was the eldest. Quoting Doris,
"When Daddy's family moved to TX, it was due to Uncle Will Shirley, who
had moved here 1st & wrote back telling how wonderful it was." Aft his
marr., he & Jon stayed in Elliot & farmed til mid 1920s when they moved
to 2 mi southeast of Anson.

[NI05166] Jon attended public schools in Anson & also attended Simmons Academy in
Abilene for at least 1 yr in 1917. She was a tennis player & taught all
her children to play tennis. Both Jon & Lloyd were active in church. They
attended the Elliot Baptist Church where Lloyd led the singing. He was a
deacon & Jon taught Sunday School. Doris remembers the Elliot church &
all the good friends that Lloyd & Jon had there. They missed it very much
when they moved but began attending the First Baptist Church in Anson.

[NI07473] Only Known reference is deed by which "Thomas, son of Robert de Worthington" granted a portion of land in Worthington to Cockersand Abbey. The deed was undated but known to belong to the period 1200-1235.

[NI07473] A Great Inquest of Service commissioned in 1212 refers to Thomas who holds the fee of half a knight of ancient feoffment, implying that the family had held the manor for several generations. Therefore it is likely that Robert was lord of the manor before Thomas. There are no records to show how long the family held the manor or from where they came.

[NI07474] Thomas de Worthington's tenure was "of ancient times" in 1212 but little is known before Robert.

[NI07474] Thomas held the manor of Worthington by the service of half a knight's fee of the Baron on Manchester. There were disputes between the 2 concerning the extent of the services due on at least 2 occassions recorded in 1221 and 1227.

[NI07474] Thomas de Worthington made 2 grants of land to Cockersand Abby and one to Burscough. They were in frankalmoigne, which meant that the tenure was to be perpetual and free of rent or temporal service. However, it was understood that the recipients would offer prayers regularly for the souls of the grantor and his heirs forever. The first is undated but can be placed in the period 1200 to 1235.

[NI07474] The deed where Thomas granted a portion of Coppull to Burscough Priory still has Thomas' seal which is 1-1/2 inches diameter with a trefoil design. A copy of the deed is in the collection of Worthington manor papers. This deed is also undated, but has been placed between 1232 and 1242.

[NI07475] On 9 Dec 1242, King Henry III ordered The Inquest of the Scutage of Gastony and William de Worthington was appointed one of the eleven "Inquirers of the Worpentake of Leylandshire" and William's own Military tenure was entered as "William de Worthington holds half a knight in the same of the said fee." The same refers to the barony of Manchester. It was again stated on 25 April 1282 following the death of the 7th baron of Manchester.

[NI07475] It appears that William and 2 of his sons, Hugh & henry, were supporters of Simon de Montforr, Earl of Leicester, in his attempts to curb monarchial and baronial power. On 28 June 1267 they, along with about 60 rebels, were granted remissions and pardon. William is mentioned in records in 1272 and 1276.

[NI07477] William de Worthington married Elene, a sister of Richard de Charnock of Charnock. The Birkacre estate was granted by Richard to William and Elene probably on the occassion of their marriage.

[NI07480] On 12 Feb 1288/89, an inquest following the death of the Earl of Derby was held and it was stated that Hugh de Worthington rendered to William a pair of spurs yearly which was the service for having the right of common in Chorley.

[NI07480] Hugh's son William was too old to have been a child of Hugh's marriage to Dionis. Therefore it is assumed that Hugh, like Dionis, had a previous marriage.

[NI07480] The executors of Hugh de Worthington's estate were Henry de Charnock and Henry de Burgh.

[NI07481] Took part in rebellion with father and received remission in 1267.

[NI07485] Succeeded to the manor on the death of his father about 1297. Mentioned in various records in 1302, 1310-11, 1317.

[NI07485] A final concord taken at Westminster 13 Oct 1318 gives the names of William's wife and 3 of their sons.

[NI07485] A pardon was given to William de Worthington for supporting Thomas the Earl of Lancaster against the king in 1318, which was likely this William.

[NI07485] In June 1320 a survey of the manor and barony of Manchester lists William de Worthington.

[NI07485] In Oct 1320 William and Alice his wife granted the manor to their son William.

[NI07485] William Sr. was still alive in 1327 when he was present at an inquest, but dead by 1331 when Alice, his widow, instituted a suit for her dower.

[NI07494] A cadet line of the Worthingtons of Worthington in Lancashire was established by Henry, the 3rd son of William.

[NI07494] Earliest reference is in a grant from Adam de Duxbury of a moiety of land called Burgh about 1290.

[NI07494] His position in the Worthington family is firmly established in a deed of 12 Nov 1327 in which Henry, son of William de Worthington, granted land to William de Worthington his brother.

[NI07494] There were several mentions of Henry between 1318-1334. They also refer to Mabel, widow of Henry, in 1340.

[NI07500] Several deeds are still in existence concerning Alan in 1343, 1344, 1345,
1350, & 1356.

[NI07501] Formed a new cadet line with his marriage to Isabel, the heiress of the Blainscough estate in Coppull.

[NI07501] Much debate over who this William was, as there were 5 Williams living at this time. [MWS went by the "Victoria History of the County of Lancaster" and listed him as the son of Robert.] All evidence was considered in 1973 by Sir Anthony Wagner, Garter Principal King of Arms and 2 examining heralds. They accepted that William de Worthington of Blainscough was the son Henry Wothington & Mabel. At the same time they recorded and certified the lineage of the Worthingtons of Blainscough during the 13th, 14th & 15th centuries.

[NI07501] In 1339 William Gerard and wife granted land in Brindle to "William de Worthington, Isabel & Thomas." They may have lived there as later it is refered to as the Worthington house. They could not have held Blainscough most of their lives, because John de Blainscough held it about the middle of the 14th century. In 1388 Thomas son of William de Worthington held it.

[NI07501] There were grants of land from Alan to William and his wife Isabel in 1345 & 1347.

[NI07504] Isabel was the daughter and heiress of John de Blainscough of Blainscough in Coppull. By this marriage the Blainscough estate passed into the Worthington family.

[NI07506] He is described as a child of Wm & Isabel in 1339.

[NI07506] He is next heard from when he is granted tenements (property held by a tenant), and lands in 1351, 1357 & 1358.

[NI07506] He was successful in converting life tenures which his father held into hereditary tenures.

[NI07506] On Sep 1359 he purchased land and the deed described him as Thomas son of William de Worthington.

[NI07506] Records of him appear in 1366, 1369, 1377, 1388 & 1390.

[NI07506] He obtained an entail of his land in Brindle in 1371.

[NI07506] In 1385 Nicholas returned property to Thomas de Worthington the elder and Ralph son of said Thomas.

[NI07506] In 1388, Thomas received a license from the Bishop of Lichfield to have an oratory at his house at Blainscough. The family had a strong Roman Catholic tradition.

[NI07508] MWS quotes notes from a 17th century abstract of Worthington of Blainscough deeds taken from "Victorian History" Vol 6, p227, Pub 1911: "Thomas de Worthington married a daughter of Thomas de Coppull."

[NI07508] PMW: "Nothing is known of the origin of Thomas wife Marjorie."

[NI07510] Of Blainscough, held the estate from 1390-1440. Name appears several times in records between 1390 & 1440. Ralph & Joan his wife entailed his lands in Wrightington in 1435. Entailed more lands in 1440, this time as part of a marriage contract for his grandson & heir Henry de Worthinton and Katherine daughter of William de Heaton.
Research: MWS; "The Worthington Families of Medieval England" by Philip M Worthington

[NI07511] His existence deduces from reference to "Thomas de Worthington the elder
and Ralph son of the said Thomas" in 1385 when he would have been quite
young.

[NI07513] The relationship between Ralph, Richard & henry is not exact. The authors of "Victoria History of the County of Lancaster" suggested that Richard was the eldest son of Ralph and Henry the eldest son of Richard. The College of Arms accepted this as proved when they registered the pedigree in 1973. Richard apparently pre-deceased his father, failed to succeed to the estate and left Henry as his grandfather's heir.

[NI07516] May have been a widow of a deceased son. She is listed in 1435 when Ralph entailed his estate.

[NI07520] Henry Worthington appears at the head of the Pedigree of the Worthingtons of Blainscough recorded by William Flower, Norroy King of Arms, during the visitation of Lancashire in 1567. The herald's records, still preserved in the College of Arms, are shown in "Worthingtons of Medival England." A trick of arms was recorded: Argent Three dung forks sable in chief a cresent. The heralds again recorded a pedigree of the Worthingtons of Blainscough at their visitation of Lancashire in 1664.
See PMW p126-129 for more on the arms.

[NI07520] Henry had inherited by 1448 as shown by one of the Blainscough deeds in which he made settlement of his lands in Coppull, Worthington, Brindle, Turton, Glazebrook & Wrightington.

[NI07524] In 1450 Henry used his Turton estate for a contract of marriage between his son and Joan, a duaghter and co-heiress of Richard Lowe of Preston. The marriage may have been a child marriage, for if Peter was an offspring of the marriage in 1440 between henry & Katherine, he could not have been more than 9 yrs old and the marriage may not have been consumated for some time. The eldest son of Peter & Joan was not married for 54 yrs after their own marriage.

[NI07524] Based on deeds of 1461, 1474 & 1475 Peter & Joan apparently lived in Worthington house in Brindhill during this period.

[NI07524] 1482: Peter & son Richard indicted with other for the murder of Adam Levesay and in 1483 Peter indicted 18 members of the Livesey family for assaulting him.

[NI07524] In 1485 Peter was granted an annuity for the rest of his life by King Henry VII "for good and faithful service." Most certainly for military service culminating in the Battle of Bosworth Field in Aug. 1485 when Henry Tudor won his kingdom.

[NI07524] Peter was appointed tax collector in 1489 & in 1505-06. In 1505-06, Peter lent money to the King. Other various records in 1501, 1508, 1512 & 1514.

[NI07527] In 1482, already a young man, Richard lived in Samlesbury, a village on the eastern outskirts of Preston and 10 miles N of Blainscough. Apparently married late in life because it was 15 years later when his father Peter prepared for Richard, his sonne & heir to marry Alice, daughter of John Ashton. Either the marriage never took place or she died young because Richard in fact married Agnes, daughter of Nicholas Rishton of Donkerhill sometime between 1505 & 1513.

[NI07527] In 1515 Richard & Agnes appear in an entail of Richard's estates in Coppull & Wrightington. Records in 1518, 1521 & 1525.

[NI07527] As Peter the heir was only 12 at the time of his father's death, the estates would have temporarily fallen under the wardship of the various superior lords. As Richard was tenants in chief in respect to part of his lands, there was an inquest post mortem held in Chorley 25 June 1528 (see PMW). The estate described totals 9 messuages and 380 acres. However 5 years after his death, a record filed in the Ducky Court of Lancster claimed his estate to include 7 messuages and 1170 acres.

Worthington of Blainscough.

Please contact: Gary Ousley

[NI07543] Recall that Richard died when his son Peter was 12 years old, allowing his estate to fall under the control of his superior lord. Presumably to avoid the possibility of Peter's marriage falling under the same control, his parents arranged for a contract of marriage when Peter was 7 years old. The girl was Isabel or any other daughter of James Anderton of Euxton in Lancashire 24 Dec 1520. The covenants provided that Richard set up trusts to receive all his lands in Coppull, Worthington, Brindle, Turton & Preston (1170 acres). Animosity developed between Peter & James Anderton as evidenced by a complaint in 1525.

[NI07543] Records in 1539, 1540, 1541, 1543/4, 1549, 1557, 1558, 1559, 1560, 1563/4. 1566, 1567.

[NI07543] Inquisition Post Mortem held 15 Jan 1577/8. Peter's son & heir Richard 40 years of age at the time.

[NI07543] Name Piers (Peter) "of Blainscough"

[NI07549] Lived in Euxton but his lands were in Bretherton, Healey & other places. Later generations acquired lands in Euxton. SOURCE: "The Worthington Families of Medieval England" by Philip M Worthington. Also: MWS; WP723

[NI07550] MWS says Agnes was born circa 1510. Married first Thomas Farrington. Then married James de Anderton circa 1510. Something is wrong here...

[NI07577] She procured the murder of her husband in 1466 and died soon afterward after having tried to make the younger son Chris her heir. (Research: MWS)

[NI07591] Rufus R. Worden married 2nd to Martha Gunning. Martha & husband came to Kansas from the same local in michigan as Rufus & Almyra. Purchased 40 acres of the NE section of R.R. & Almyra's land in 1877. A land record recorded on 7 June 1884 states "This indenture made this 24th day of May 1884, by and between Rufus R Worden and Martha Worden, his wife.

[NI09107] "John Dodson came over to America from England with Capt. John Smith in
1607. There were a hundred and five men in this company that founded the
first permanent English Colony in America.

[NI09107] "They reached the capes of Virginia April 1607, and sailed up the broad
river, thirty two miles from the river's mouth. They named the river,
James and their settlement Jamestown, in honor of their King.

[NI09107] "The colonists soon erected cabins out of poles and branches and some dug
caves to live in.

[NI09107] "The site of the colony was unhealthy, and the deaths, especially during
the first few years of the colony, were horrifying. From 1606 to 1618, a
period of twelve years, eighteen hundred immigrants sailed from England
for Virginia. At the end of that time only six hundred were living.

[NI09107] "Attacks by Indians, starvation, and the system of holding property in
common added to the difficulties of the colonists. But in 1612 they began
to grow tobacco and they fared better.

[NI09107] "The year 1619 brought three important events to Virginia and the
colonists. Virginia was permitted to enjoy a measure of self government;
a ship load, eighty, of prospective wives arrived from England (probably
Jesse (2) Dodson and William (2) Dodson married two of these women). The
colonist could secure a wife, with her permission, and by paying her
transportation, in the amount of one hundred and twenty pounds of
tobacco--about $500 dollars worth; and the first Negro slaves landed in
Virginia.

[NI09107] "In spite of all the hardships John (1) Dodson survived and was reported
to have been a mighty hunter and fur trader and in his dealings with the
Indians became the possessor of large bodies of land. He was a good
citizen.

[NI10802] Family tradition is that within a week after marriage in Virginia, Nimrod
& his bride Lettice set out for their new home in South Carolina. Each
rode a horse, and their one slave rode another horse and led a fourth on
which were packed their belongings. They stopped for a time in
Spartanburg County with a kinsman, Vincent Wyatt. By 1789 Nimrod Smith is
listed as a member of Turkey Creek Baptist Church.

[NI10802] Nimrod Smith is reported as buying several thousand acres of land in
different tracts in what are now Spartanburg, Laurens, Abbeville &
Anderson counties. In his later years he removed to his plantation in the
Broadway township of Anderson County.

[NI10802] Members of the family believe there was some kinship between Nimrod Smith
& Moses Smith, early member of near Greenville Presbyterian Church.

the Dorr family entered into "First Families of Athens County." Although
3 Dorrs appear on the plaque of the Athens County Courthouse as founders,
and it's well known they were in the party that first arrived and settled
Athens, it had to be proven on paper. She's also been successful in
entering our family into Athens County's Civil War Families. If you are
ever wanting additional information about any of Athens County's settlers
you can contact the Athens County Historical Society and Museum. They're
very active in getting all this information preserved. They also have
many indices of old court records and some cemetery gravestone listings,
and are always working to get more in print. Cheryl and her husband
Greg live at The Plains (formerly Wolf's Plains) and she does volunteer
work at the museum."

[NI10990] My gr grandfather (Larkin Cullins, son of Josh and Jane) took his family
to
Lincoln Center, KS, after fighting for the Union in the Civil War. He was
killed there while walling the inside of a well. His wife brought 10 of
12
children back to Fayette Co., IN. Two sons had married and stayed there.
Because he died, in addition to the fact that my gr grandmother seems to
have been a pretty bitter old bird, nobody passed on much family history.
Every time I contacted somebody named Cullins whom I thought might know
something, it was the same story: their part of the family had broken the
ties and was bitter. I think some of this developed over the Civil War.

[NI11021] Grandfather of Oliver Newton Worden. Most of O.N. Worden's book, published in 1868, is devoted to the descendants of this "John Worden, 2d."

[NI11021] "Deacon John Worden, 2d, died nearly 2/3 of a century ago. I have met only four, living, who knew him personally. Some of them thought I look like him--am about his height & weight, (5 feet 11, & 180 pounds)-- but he was blue-eyed. His clothes were of a Quaker cut, and he used plain language mostly. He was rather dignified, but quite sociable. A short time before his death, he visited Voluntown, and on leaving (walking with a cane) he said to a friend, 'Brother, will thee take a walk with me this morning?' That was the last time little Olive saw him. In Sept. 1802, he ate of a kind of whortleberry in milk--was soon attacked with cholera morbus--and in a few hours died at the age of 53? Conscious of the coming change, he had his children aroused from slumber to receive his 'last, solemn charge. He pathetically exhorted them to live in peace among themselves, to be kind to their mother, and, above all, to be prepared to follow him.' (J.B.W.) He was buried on his own farm, where are five marked graves in the following order:
[1] John Worden, 2d; [2] Lucy W., Gideon's first wife; [3] Susannah W., John's step-mother; [4] John, Gideon's son; and [5] Acus, Gideon's son. They have rough stones only, but the mounds have been reverently kept free from the plow by Deacon Wm. Crandall, son of Elder Eldridge Crandall, who purchased the Worden title." [Src: ONW, p43]

[NI11021] "It was a most beautiful day in August last that I saw the Grandfather Worden Farm, 3/4 of a mile S.W. of Worden's Pond, in South Kingstown, near Charlestown. It is part of the large Crandall farm, on which at different times, four families seem to have buried -one, however, left but a solitary grave. The farm was mostly on a gentle hill approached by a private road. The soil is thin and sandy, its best products appearing to be beans and a small, white, sweet corn from which these down-easters do make superior cakes on short notice. Some land once cultivated is again in timber. A few scatter apple trees remain, but the 1-1/2 storey house, well, and out-buildings have been all removed. A corn field covered where they had been, with the little grave-plot which holds four generations. It was difficult to imagine that a spot so vacant was once the endeared home of those honored ancestors." [Src: ONW, p47]

[NI11501] "Dolly, the first born of the family, was the favorite for her great beauty, her kindness of spirit, and her superiority as a singer. She was, however, the first great sufferer, by the death of her first husband, not long after marriage. And her own death, in the bloom of her matronly charms and usefulness, about six months before her father, was the first breach in the family circle proper." [Src: ONW, p48]

[NI11918] Newell Tunnell and his brother, Lucius, were young American adventurers. Both went to Africa when young men, Newell as an importer of American goods and exporter of South African products, while his brother Lucius went to the diamond country at Kimberly. It was at the American Colony at Capetown, South Africa, that Newell met and married Nellie Mason. She was the only child of Alfred Holding & Inez Phillips Mason. Inez was the daughter of I.G. Phillips, a carriage manufacturer of Rochester, NY, and sent his son-in-law Alfred Mason and his family to Capetown to represent his business interests. The American Colony in Capetown was closely knit and it was natural that the Masons & the Tunnells had a close social and business association. The Boer War practically ruined many businesses and put a severe strain on the family fortunes. Of his war record a Carlinville, Illinois paper stated: "this young man was a marine in the sixt regiment and participated in all the big..."

[NI12654] We believe, but have no proof, that the two Nancy's were first cousins; so for now, I cannot say for sure they were related. What we know for sure from census records is that Asa Randall and Levi Randall were close neighbors in 1840,1850, and 1860. Asa had a daughter named Nancy Amanda (mine) and Levi had a daughter named Nancy and they were not more than a year apart in age. I am going to continue to try to find out what happened to Levi's Nancy (this one) (she does not appear on the 1860 census).

[NI14038] This Matthew Griswold, the first of Lyme, and his four brothers, Thomas, Edward, Francis, and George, were born in England, and were the sons of Edward Griswold of Kenilworth in Warwickshire. All these five sons, except Thomas, came to America; and Edward, George and Francis lived at Windsor in Sept., 1649. Edward settled at Killingworth, Conn.; Francis settled at Saybrook, and removed from there to Norwich in 1660, and had two sons and six daughters; George settled in Simsbury; and Matthew, born about 1597, in England came with his brothers to Windsor, where he married, about 1636, Anne Wolcott, eldest daughter of Henry Wolcott Esq., and Elizabeth Sanders of Windsor, and settled at Saybrook at the first establishment of that town, about 1639. He was the first commissioners of the peace or magistrates. He had the charge of Gov. Fenwick's affairs, when the later left the colony.
