5. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 248-49:
"EDWARD GRISWOLD (GEORGEA, HENRYB) was born circa 1607 in Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and died in 1691 in Killingworth, CT. He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:

"The 'Mary and John' made a good passage and arrived at Nantasket May 30 without casualty. These 140 passengers are generally known as the Dorchester Company, from the place chosen for their settlement, and as they remained a distinct body of colonists, and there are contemporary records to identify most of them, it has been possible to compile a tentative list of those who came on this pioneer ship. Five years later a great majority of them removed to Windsor, Connecticut, under the leadership of Warham.
The following list shows the names of heads of family and the number in each family sailing in this ship. It gives the county of origin and the place of settlement after arrival, with other notes of identification. The list shows that fifteen came from Somerset, fifteen from Dorset, six from Devon and three are of undetermined origin. The total number thus listed makes 134 out of 140 who came over.
[List includes:] William Gaylord (4). Somerset. Juror 1630. Freeman 18 may 1631 (Mass. Colonial Records, 1:367). Deacon of church. Removed to Windsor ('History of Dorchester, Mass.,' by Blake; 'History of Windsor, CT,' by Stiles)."

The authors note that their book updates Vol. II, "The Griswold Family England - America," which was published 50 years ago:
"Joseph (son of Edward), bp. Windsor, Conn. 22 Mar 1647/8; married in Windsor 14 Jul 1670 Mary Gaylord b. 1649, dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hull) Gaylord.
Deacon William Gaylord, father of Samuel, was one of the first settlers and one of the first deacons of the Dorchester, Mass. church. He moved to Windsor in 1638 where he speedily became a valuable and prominent citzen, serving as representative in 40 sessions to 1664. The estate of Samuel Gaylord mentions Joseph Griswold and his wife Mary.
George Hull, father of Elizabeth, came ahead of his family on the 'Mary and John' to Dorchester and in 1636 to Windsor where he was a surveyor and Indian trader. He late moved to Fairfield. As a follower of Roger Ludlow, he was instrumental in establishing the commonwealths of Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Joseph was a freeman in 1670; ensign in 1690 under Capt. Thomas Allyn. Ensign Joseph Griswold died Nov. 14, 1716. His will was dated 6 Sep 1716 with inventory taken 29 Nov 1716 by Daniel Griswold, Sen., Thomas Griswold and Joseph Barnard. His will mentions his wife Mary; sons: Joseph, Francis and Matthew; two daughters: Mary wife of Joseph Gillett, and Abigail wife of Josiah Phelps, as well as his granddaughter Sarah Gillett.
A daughter Elizabeth b. 28 Mar 1674, d. 1742 age 68 was previously attributed to his family. There are no entries in Windsor records for an Elizabeth with these dates, nor is she mentioned in Joseph's will, as she certainly would have if there had been such a daughter.
Children, recorded in Windsor:
Mary, b. 16 Mar 1670/1.
Joseph, b. 27 Jan 1677.
Francis, bp. 11 Jul 1683.
Matthew, b. 25 Feb 1686.
Abigail, b. 11 Aug 1689.

He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:

Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, p. 677: "George Sexton (Saxton), of Windsor and Westfield, was a contemporary of Richard of Windsor, and probably his brother. That he was not a son, appears from the setttlement of the widow of Richard. - 'Gen Ct. Rec.' The earliest mention thus far found of him is in 'Rec. of Deeds' (i. 33) at Springfield, Mass., in a deed from Thomas Cowper to George Sexton, 'now resident at Windsor,' of lands at Warrnoke river, 10 Jun 1663. On the 'Windsor Records' is the following: 'John, the son of George Sexton, was born at Windsor, 26 May 1673.' The date of George Sexton's removal to Westfield, Mass., appears from the following entry in 'Springfield Records': 'Jonathan Alford, aged 70, and John Fowler, aged 67, say that Ambrose Fowler and George Sexton, formerly of Westfield, now deceased, were possessed of land there above 46 years ago,' etc., dated 10 Jan 1717, which places the date of his removal at about 1671.
By a deed recorded at Springfield (Vol. II, 73), George and Catherine Sexton convey land in Westfield to their sons Joseph and Benjamin, in consideration of the sum of ₤160, dated 25 Jan 1687/8, and by an instrument signed by George Sexton, Jr. 'sometime of Westfield, but now of Newtown, on Long Island, son and heire to George Sexton of Westfield, lately deceased, consenting to the before mentioned writing made by my honored father' to my brothers Joseph and Benjamin, and dated 31 Oct 1690, it appears that George Sexton, Sen'r, died between 1688 and 1690.

"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield...
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely:
Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.
The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875.

The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891.
John Porter and his descendants, in 1893.

MARRIAGE:
1. Could William's wife have been Anne. Notice from the marriage extractions in the following article that an Anne Allgar married Henry Bette 16 Oct 1575, which would have been two months after William Algar's death. On the other hand, Anne may be another daughter of William Allgar born abt 1556 or earlier before William Jr. of abt. 1558. Since the husband of Anne is noted as the son John Bette, it would appear that he was a young enough groom to have to have his father's name included in the register entry. If Anne had been an older widow, then her newer husband most likely would not have had a father's name included. I assume Anne is a daughter until proven otherwise.

Comments: Since Thomas Judd did not leave a will, we have no complete, explicit list of his children. The compilation of nine children presented here is found in all secondary sources, and is arrived at by putting together various small pieces of evidence. Baptismal records exist for Ruth and Philip. John Winthrop Jr. treated four of them at one time: William, John, Benjamin and Samuel. William and Thomas are called sons in deeds made by the immigrant. Elizabeth and Mary carried the surname Judd in their marriage records, and there was no other Judd family in New England for them to belong to. The Farmington Church records include a list of the six youngest children of Thomas Judd, as noted in the individual entries above [Farmington ChR 1:49-50]. Better evidence for the marriages of the three youngest children would be welcome.
The town of Farmington began compiling its individual landholding inventories in the late 1670s, very close to the time that Thomas Judd married his second wife and moved to Northampton. This listing of the land of Deacon Thomas Judd is undated, but must have preceded the May 1679 sale of several parcels to his son William, since the first and second parcels conveyed to William in this deed were the second and third items in the inventory of Deacon Thomas Judd. Since these latter two parcels were purchased by Thomas Judd rather than granted to him by the town, and since we see from the deed to William Judd that Deacon Thomas had already transferred land to his son Thomas, we conclude that Deacon Thomas had already distributed most of his land to his children by 1679.
Bibliographic Note: In 1856 Sylvester Judd prepared a comprehensive genealogy of Thomas Judd and His Descendants [Northampton 1856]. Judd's work was consistently excellent and this volume is one of the best genealogies published at this formative period for genealogical scholarship.
In 1948 Donald Lines Jacobus compiled a brief, solid account of the family of this immigrant [Brainerd Anc 177-78]."

7. Information on Elizabeth's father: The following is at a Web Site called "Where to Begin?" The site is at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/2663/journal.htm: "The Deacon Thomas Judd was born Thomas Judd around 1608 in England, the same year that Quebec was founded. Thomas married a woman, probably in England. It is possible that their two children were Elizabeth and William, it is unknown which is older, nor is it known for sure if they were born in England or on the ship on the way over to America. It is also possible that his first wife died on the trip. These trips by our Ancestors prove to take their toll on many people. Sometimes the ships and/or crew were unprepared for such a long journey.
With no water to drink, and no place to wash or even a bathroom. The thought comes to mind of so many people tugging on the Captain's shoulders crying "Are we there yet?" Thomas arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633 or 1634 only 13 years after the famous Mayflower landed in Plymouth. It may be interesting to note that most of the people who arrived on these ships were "entitled" to land and/or goods once they arrived. The amount of land may have depended on many different things, the size of the family, the amount of participatation or help they leant to the group, as well as the prominence of the person. Sometimes these lands were set by the King of the country in which the people departed, in this case it is possible that King Edward I was responsible for granting Thomas Judd his 4 acres of land.
Thomas received the land in August of 1634 the location of which is described as being the West-End of Cambridge on the north-east side of the highway to Watertown. This land must not have been the only land he was entitled to, as he is also listed as receiving a portion of Meadow ground on August 20, 1635. Thomas was now a farmer. He built a home on the original 4 acres and on May 25, 1636 was admitted a Freeman of the colony. Ironically, it is more than probable that Thomas left Cambridge during the same week as he was admitted a Freeman of Cambridge. He was one of the members of Thomas Hooker's group that traveled up the Connecticut River to Hartford, CT. The Deacon Thomas Judd was named with Thomas Hooker in several history and genealogical books I have found; it may even be possible that the Deacon Thomas Judd was on the same ship with Thomas Hooker, if this is the case, the ship's name was the Griffen. It is also possible that since the Deacon Thomas Judd and Thomas Hooker were of the same group, that the Deacon Thomas Judd was one of many who came to America to leave the church of England. Thomas Hooker accepted the doctrines of Church of England but did not believe the ceremonies were biblical. In 1630 the Archbishop (Laud) attempted to silence Hooker for his nonconformity. When Hooker was called to appear before the High Commission, he fled to Holland where he preached at both Delft and Rotterdam. In 1633, Hooker, along with other Puritan preachers like John Cotton and Samuel Stone fled to America on the Griffen. A joke among the Puritans was that this group was guaranteed success because they had Cotton (John) for their clothes, Hooker (Thomas) for the fishing and Stone (Samuel) for their building. Thomas Hooker also did not get along with some of the people in Massachusetts, so he left, along with many other people, including Thomas Judd to establish the town of Hartford, Connecticut. In 1638, three of the towns of Connecticut met to form a government. Thomas Hooker preached to the General Court at that time and believed that the foundation of a government authority should be "laid in free consent of the people, that choice of public magistrates belongs unto the people by God's own allowance." This statement can be found to derive from Deuteronomy 1:13 which states "Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you." This was then the basis of the government formed in 1638 and the basis of the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, which was the first Constitution in America. To further look into the possibilities of a connection from the Deacon Thomas Judd to Thomas Hooker, we can wonder if they had a connection before the ship. We know that it is difficult to find where the Deacon Thomas Judd came from, perhaps this is because the Deacon Thomas Judd went with Thomas Hooker to Holland? Maybe the travels of the Deacon Thomas Judd were so often that he did not show up in the records of England? The only thing to use now is the clues and the guesses of the words of the past, which is what I am doing here, I will make sure that it is known that I am either speculating or if it is fact. To continue, the Deacon Thomas Judd must have remained in Hartford for a few years; his home there was built on about two acres of land and had gardens and other out buildings. His land butted up against a James Cole's land on the south end. My step-sister's husband is named Cole, it may be interesting to find a connection here. Thomas then left Hartford and went on to Farmington, where he became one of the first proprietors of that town. It may be somewhat interesting to try to think of Thomas' personal ordeal through all of this traveling. We know that he is very much a Christian (eventually he will be known as Deacon Thomas Judd). We also think that his first two children, Elizabeth and William, may have been born before all of this traveling. For a man to carry two small children through all of this, build their house (three times) and eventually become a prominent man of the community is by far a sign of times to come more than 350 years later. Thomas may have had a little help in the care for his children, it is possible that he married his second wife anytime during these travels. His third child Thomas was born after 1634 but before 1641. During a long span of time from May of 1647 to October of 1679, Thomas Judd was a deputy of the General Court. He was also a member of the church under the direction of Rev. Thomas Hooker and Rev. Samuel Stone. Being associated with both the church at Hartford and Cambridge. He stayed with the church at Hartford until Farmington had a church of their own on October 13, 1652. The first pastor of that church was Rev. Roger Newton, 1652. The second was Rev. Samuel Hooker, 1661. Stephen Hart became the first deacon of that church and Thomas the second. He was known as the Deacon Thomas Judd from 1668 on. In the Connecticut Colony records he is listed as Deacon Thomas Judd, it was as if he had changed his name. For from this point forward he would always be referred to as the Deacon Thomas Judd. The deacon was one of the first 84 proprietors of Farmington. Farmington was a very large township, consisting of 5 or 6 townships itself. A key hint as to when Thomas married his second wife is in the fact that five of his sons are listed as being among the 84 proprietors in Farmington in 1673. Samuel was not yet of age, therefore not listed. This statement (which is listed in "Thomas Judd and His Descendants" by Sylvester Judd) shows that these 4 sons had to have been born at least 16 years before 1673. This same statement has also shown me to have some sort of an argumentative as to when the children were born. It is listed that Samuel was born in 1651 or 1653 in the same book, yet it says in the statement that he was not of age in 1673. The question then is what is "of age"? Samuel would have been 21 or 23, the probability is that he was born late in 1651 and was not over 21 on the day in 1673 when land was distributed. If you are confused, imagine how I feel after I find the evidence to prove or disprove it, then I have to change all kinds of things. There is also conflicting information as to how many children Thomas had. Sylvester Judd lists 6 sons and 3 daughters. I have listed 7 sons and 3 daughters. The first of those daughters, and quite possibly the first child of the Deacon was Elizabeth Judd.

9. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 351-53:
"JOSEPH1 LOOMIS (JOHNA LUMACE, JOHNB LUMMYS, THOMASC) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHNB LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster [sic: Krysten] (Christian (___). JOSEPH1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, MARY1 WHITE, daughter of ROBERTA, a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA (ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. MARY1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. MARY1's younger sister, ANNA1, married ancestor JOHN1 PORTER.
United States President Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of MARY1's parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents.
JOSEPH1 was a woolen draper, He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen", the same ship that ancestor Rev. PETER1 BULKELEY had taken in 1635. The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 11 July 1638, they may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company of Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). JOSEPH1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote, brother of ancestor MARYA FOOTE. "On 6 January 1650, he was sued by" [ancestor WILLIAM1 BUELL] "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him" (ref. 3).
JOSEPH1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with "a 'debt in England'" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence against it. On December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide JOSEPH's estate equitably among them.
The children of JOSEPH1 and MARY1 (WHITE) LOOMIS, all probably born in Braintree, county Lancaster, England, and probably not all listed in the correct order of birth, were.

(Compiled for the first edition by the late Henry Bright, Esq., of Northampton, Mass. Additions to present edition from various sources. The extracts from the ancient Pinney will are furnished by Mrs. C.H. Pinney of Derby, Conn., who expresses an earnest desire that the many American descendants of Humphrey Pinney shall place some memorial {window, altar, or tablet} in the little church at Broadway, where their forefathers sleep, and where yet annual payment is duly made on the Pinney tomb in the graveyard of the annuities devised in 1631 for the poor of the name of Pinney or of Standerwicke.)
Humphrey (son of John) came to America in the 'Mary and John' with Rev. Mr. Warham's company 1630, sett. at Dorchester, where he m. Mary Hull, who had been a fellow passenger.
His immediate ancestors appear to have res. in Broadway, Somersetshire, Eng. Broadway is in Chard Union, in the deanery of Crewkerne, archdeaconry of Taunton, diocese of Bath and Wells, Hundred of Abdick and Bulstone, West Somerset. From the will of Edmund (uncle to Humphrey) Pynney of Broadway, dated 1631, recorded 2 Feb 1632 (Vol. Adelsy, fol. 16) Humphrey P. being administrator, we learn that said Edmund was buried in the sourth aisle of Broadway Church, in a tomb called 'The Pinney Tomb.' From his will (on file at Doctor's Commons, London, where a copy was procured by Dr. Charles H. Pinney, in 1886), we give the following extracts.
'Imprimis, I give to the maintenance of the Church at Broadwaie, aforesaid, three shillings and fourpence.
'Item" I give unto the poor people of the same parish of Broadwaie being none of the almpspeople of the Alms-house there, 20 shillings to be distributed amongst them according to the direction of mine executor and good friends hereafter in this mine will named to be mine overseer.
Item. I give to the poor people being alms people dwelling in the said Alms-house there 20 shillings to be divided unto them presently after my death.
Item: I do give the same grounds called East Mullyns - Butchers' Close, and Long Kite Meade, and every part and parcel thereof to the said John Pynney after the determis of the said Richard Pynney upon the condiiton that he from thenceforth pay 26 shillings and 8 pence yearly to two poor people, men or women, for their relief during the residence of my said term of 4,000 years, by quarterly payments, viz. of three shillings and fourpence quarterly to either of the said poor poeple, and if the said 'Richard Pynney shall refuse and do not pay the same according to this my will and desire aforesaid then and so often as the same shall not be paid it shall and may be lawful to and for any or every person or persons called or known by the name of Pynney or Standerwick inhabiting or dwelling in Broadwaie aforesaid into the said grounds, so as aforesaid charged with the yearly payment of the said 26 shillings and 8 pence to enter and distress (this last word not clearly decipherable) and the distress or distresses there from time to time taken to lead, drive, chase, carry away, or impound and the same impounded to detain and keep until the said yearly payments as aforesaid limited and bequeathed to the said two poor people shall be fully satisfied and paid.' (A copy of this will was in keeping of R. Drake Palmer, Vicar of St. Aldheim's Church, Broadway, in 1886.)
In 1859, this annuity of Edmund Pinney's from land situated in Abbots Ile (or Ile Abbots) was still paid regulary by the present owner of the property, and its recipients were two poor people of the name of Standerwick - a family which seems to have been intimately related to the testator, appearing in his will as legatees and executors of certain legacies. The will also contains legacies ordered to tbe paid by Humphrey Pinney, viz.: ₤4 yearly to Nicholas Pinney, and 20s yearly to William Watts, during their lives, payable quuarterly... in the churchyard of Broadway, upon the tomb, or monument called Pinney's Tomb, and with certain penalties imposed for default or delinquencies of regular payments.
Broadway Church is a small, ancient, but beautiful structure, situated in a picturesque churchyard, adorned with yews, located upon a little knoll in an extensive valley, about two miles from the rise of the hill which terminates in the Blackdon Range, - this hill itself being in the adjoining parish of Buckland and St. Mary's, and commanding one of the finest views in Somerset county. Broadway, a long, straggling village of some 400 agricultural inhabitants, an almshouse, etc., is said to have taken its name from a Roman road which led to Nevocke Forest, and whose breadth made an impression upon the Saxons. The forest long since disappeared, but there are traces of a Roman encampment on Blackdon Hill. The church is quite by itself at the end of the village. Pinney's Ground, from which the aforesaid annuities are payable, is in Ile Abbots, an adjoining village, boasting of a still more beautiful little church.

In the possession of the late Lucretia Stiles of Windsor were several ancient papers, mostly letters addressed to Humphrey Pinney of Windsor (by his nephew, John House of Montague, Eng., and from Geo Beatty of Combe, St. Nicholas Co., Somerset, Eng., relative to certain business which he had entrusted to Mr. Pinney; also concerning Mr. P.'s property in England) and Mr. P.'s will, dated 3 June, 1682. In one of these letters Mr. House (date of 1 Mar 1668), says: 'My Uncle William Pinney, hath buried his wife; she d. about a quuarter of a yr. since.' Among these papers was a lease, executed 20 Feb 1658, 'betw. Humphrey Pinney, now dwelling in Montague, of the one part, and Roger Dunster of Broadway, in the Co. of Somerset of the other pt'e,' relating to 'four acres of pasture and meadows, lying and being in the manor of Iilton.'

Estate: Granted four acres at Dorchester, 5 August 1633 [DTR 2]; granted twenty acre Great Lot, 4 January 1635/6 [DTR 14]; "Mr. Piney" granted Lot #42, ten acres, in the meadow beyond Naponset [DTR 321]. On 16 November 1640 "Humphry Pinny hath granted from the plantation an homelot on Sandy Banke thirteen acres and half in breadth, seventeen rods"; "in meadow sixteen acres and half"; "over the Great River in breadth next the same twenty-seven rods running to the east three miles"; and "near pinemeade fifteen acres in breadth fifteen rods, in length an hundred and sixty" [WiLR 1:8]. He purchased of "Josyas Hull his homelot, nine acres and half more or less, ... as also his dwelling house thereon with the outhouses, gardens & fences" [WiLR 1:8]. "Also, whereas his lot toward Pine Mead was entered but fifteen rod in breadth is now to be counted thirty rods in breadth according to his first grant from the town for thirty acres" [WiLR 1:8]. In his will, dated 3 June 1682 and proved 10 December 1683, "Humfryw Pinie of Winsor" appointed "my wife Mary Pinney" executrix; "to "my wife Mary Pineye my housing & land during her natural life and after her decease my son Samuel shall have one third part of my lot on the east side of the Great River"; "that two acres that he hath now in possession is to help make up the third part of the lot that he the said Samuel is to have & is to have it on the south side of the lot next to Samuel Gailard"; to "my son John Pineye the other two thirds of my lot on the east side of the Great River"; "my sons Samuel Pinny & John Pinny shall pay to my grandchild Sarah Pinny, the daughter of Nathaniel Pinny, £5"; "my housing and all the rest of my lands I give to my son Isack" he to pay to "my grandchild Nathaniel Pinny, son of Nathaniel Pinny deceased, £10"; to "my three daughters, Marye, Sarah & Abigaile, 5s. apiece"; "what estate I have in old England, my wife shall have one half of it and my son Isack the other half of it"; residue to "my well beloved wife"; "my son John & my son Isack shall not sell, alienate or mortgage all nor any of the abovesaid lands until they are of the age of fifty years, except it be to their own brothers" [Hartford PD Case #4268; Manwaring 1:349]. "An inventory of the estate of Mr. Humphrey Pinny who deceased Aug[us]t 20:1683" totalled £790 7s. (of which £200 was debts due in England), including £340 in real estate: "his dwelling house, barn, orchard, gardens, pasture, about 3 acre ½ land"; "11 acres land east [of] the way"; "16 acres ½ in Great Meadow"; and "upland & mead east the river" [Hartford PD Case #4268]. In her will, dated 12 September 1683 and exhibited 4 September 1681 [sic - probably 1684], Mary Pinney of Windsor "in reference to that estate which my husband hath left me" bequeathed to "my son Samuel £5"; to "his daughter Mary, 40s."; to "my daughter Mary Phelps £5"; to "my son Isaack £5"; to "my daughter Sarah Phelps £20"; £3 apiece to "three children of my daughter Abigail, ... Mary, Abigail and John"; residue "both in New England and Old England I do give and bequeath unto my son John" sole executor; "if my daughter Sarah Phelps" should die leaving no issue, the legacy given to her "shall be returned to my executor" [Hartford PD Case #4279; Manwaring 1:349-50]. "An inventory of the estate of Mrs. Mary Pinny who deceased Aug[u]st 18:1684" totalled £249 18s. 6d. (of which £100 was debts due in England), with no real estate included [Hartford PD Case #4279]. Birth: Baptized Hardington-Mandeville, Somerset, 20 November 1605, son of John and Joanna (____) Pinney [M&JCH 17:118 (this baptismal date was published without full documentation; as the register for this parish apparently does not exist prior to 1687, this date may come from Bishops' Transcripts; confirmation of this would be welcome)]. Death: Windsor 20 August 1683 [CTVR 55]. Marriage: Dorchester by 1636 Mary Hull ("Houmfery Pinne married in Dorchester Mary Hull" [Grant 58]), daughter of George HULL. She was admitted to Windsor church on 9 February 1639[/40] [Grant 10] and died at Windsor on 18 August 1684 [CTVR 56]. Children:

Associations: On 4 March 1632/3 Henry Paynter wrote from Exeter, Devonshire, to John Winthrop Jr., asking him to "take notice of Mr. Cogan and Mr. Hill and Mr. Pinny our pious and loving neighbors and good friends that now come unto you" [WP 3:109]. These three immigrants of 1633 were JohnCOGGAN, William Hill and HUMPHREY PINNEY, who were very likely passengers on the unnamed ship which sailed from Weymouth in that year [GMN 3:9-10, 16]. (The claim that Humphrey Pinney was a passenger on the Mary & John in 1630, returned to England to handle his uncle's estate, and then came again to New England has no foundation. Humphrey Pinney was certainly in England in 1632 [Dawes-Gates 2:659], and the record of 4 March 1632/3 sounds very much as if all three men are making their first appearance in New England.) Sarah (Pinney) Poole, wife of Edward Poole of Weymouth, was a niece of Humphrey Pinney [NEHGR 59:328]. In 1656 "Humphrey Pinny" sued John Brome in the Chancery Courts in England over the estate of John Pinney of Exeter; the court noted that the "complainant has been in New England 20 years since" [NEHGR 100:220, citing Chancery Depositions before 1714, 687/30]. Comments: On 2 June 1635 Humphrey Pinney was one of five Dorchester men who agreed to arbitration "of all differences & accounts betwixt the said parties concerning the ship Thunder" [MBCR 1:151; RCA 2:54]. Matthew Grant says that "Mr. Pinne" had six children born in Windsor from the time of their "beginning hither" [Grant 88]. On this basis the birth of Samuel, their first Child, is placed in Dorchester, even though this makes him nearly thirty at marriage, and leaves a gap of about five years before the birth of the second child. Note that there is also a large gap between the births of the sixth and seventh Children. This last child must have been born at the very end of the mother's Child-bearing period. Bibliographic Note: A good treatment of Humphrey Pinney, with a line of descent through his son Nathaniel, was published in 1931 by Mary Walton Ferris [Dawes-Gates 2:658-65].

6. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 2:97-98, "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, FOUND ON THE FAMILIES, SINCE VOLUME 1 WAS PRINTED":
"The first volume of "Search For The Passengers Of The Mary & John-1630" was rushed into print in early 1985 in preparation for a tour of the home towns of the passengers, by eighty descendants. This group spent 15 days, from May 17 to May 30, visiting the birthplaces and churches of the passengers in England, Dorchester, Mass. & Windsor, Conn. New information was not only gathered from the ministers, archivists and speakers on the tour, but also from the tour members, themselves, who had been collecting information on their ancestors, for many years.
HUMPHREY PINNEY- New searches in Somerset, along with information from Stiles' History of Ancient Windsor, has permitted the compilation of a short, provisional ancestry of Humphrey Pinney. Humphrey's uncle, Edmund Pinney of Broadway, Somerset, died in 1631 and Humphrey was made executor of his estate. He returned to England to settle the matter. The little church in Broadway has many reminders of the Pinney family. Edmund's tomb is in the south transcept of the church, under a brass placed there in 1891, by American descendants of Humphrey Pinney. On the back wall is the Pinney coat-of-arms, beside a framed scroll that describes Humphrey's journey to America on the "Mary & John" in 1630. Edmund Pinney left bequeaths to the poor of Broadway that were to be paid for 4,000 years. These bequeaths were still being paid, as directed, in 1859, from land rents. Today they are being handled by the National Westminister Bank in Ilminster. The Pinney account has 24 shares (value: 40 pounds), in the Charities Official Investment Fund, and it pays bequeaths of about 1.06 pounds, quarterly."

7. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 248-49:
"EDWARD GRISWOLD (GEORGEA, HENRYB) was born circa 1607 in Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and died in 1691 in Killingworth, CT. He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:
I Sarah2, b. 1631: d. soon, prob. at Kenilworth, Eng.

"'John Porter, Sr., came from Engl. and settled here in Windsor in 1639.' - O.C.R. According to statements furnished by Henry D. White, Esq., of New Haven, Conn., he came to New England with wife and nine children from Felsted, County Essex, England, probably in the ship 'Susan and Ellen,' 17 Jul 1638, and in company with his brother-in-law, Joseph Loomis - see 'Loomis.' In the Parish Register of Messing, County Essex, Engl, is the following rec. of mar.: '1620, Oct. 18. John Porter of Felsted and Anna White of Messing.' Anna, as we find from the Messing Parish Register, was bp. 13 Jul 1600 and was the dau. of Robert White of M., by his wife, Bridget (dau. of William) Allgar of Shalford, County Essex, and was probably the sister of Mary White of M., who m. Joseph Loomis, the emigrant ancestor of the Windsor family of that name (see 'Loomis,' p. 432). Another sister, Elizabeth White, m. 7 Nov 1616, William Goodwin of Hartford, and the three are thought to have been the sisters of Elder John White, though this is not yet proven. Both the Loomis and Goodwin marriages are from the 'Shalford Parish Register'."

"William Goodwin
Origin: Braintree, Essex
Migration: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150] First Residence: Cambridge Removes: Hartford 1636, Hadley by 1659, Farmington by 1670 Church Membership: William Goodwin was a sidesman of the church at Braintree, Essex, in 1622, and churchwarden in 1630 and 1631 [Goodwin Papers 2:1171-73]. On 25 June 1632 (and repeated on 16 July 1632 and 4 August 1632) William Goodwin was presented at the Commissary Court of Essex and Herts for "not receiving the Holy Communion at Easter nor since in his parish church" [Goodwin Papers 2:1175-77]. Several other members of the "Braintree Company," fellow passengers on the Lyon, were also presented at these courts, for the same or similar offenses, but they were safely beyond the reach of the ecclesiastical courts, as they were at sea on these dates. Admission to a Massachusetts Bay church, presumably Watertown, prior to 6 November 1632 implied by freemanship. He must soon have transferred his membership to the Cambridge church, and became elder of that church, for Winthrop reports that at the General Court held on 3 September 1634 "Mr. Goodwin, a very reverend and godly man, being the elder of the congregation of Newtown, having, in heat of argument, used some unreverend speech to one of the assistants, and being reproved for the same in open court, did gravely and humbly acknowledge his fault, etc." [WJ 1:169-70]; this episode does not appear in the official records of the General Court. At Hartford William Goodwin was the leader of the group which disputed with Rev. Samuel Stone [WJ 1:169-70, footnote; CCCR 1:318]. Freeman: 6 November 1632 [MBCR 1:367]. Education: On 24 February 1661/2 and on 1 February 1663/4 William Goodwin "in the name of the rest of the trustees" wrote long and learned letters from Hadley to the court at Hartford, regarding the settling of the estate of Mr. Hopkins [CCCR 1:374-75, 578-79; see also WJ 1:273-75]. Committee to "gather up [those passages of God's providence which have been remarkable since our first undertaking these plantations], and deliver them into the General Court in April next, and if it be judged then fit, they may be recorded," 10 October 1639 [CCCR 1:39]. On 22 June 1636 William Goodwin addressed a letter to John Winthrop Jr. from "Sekioge [Hartford]," reporting early happenings at Hartford. Offices: Deputy for Cambridge to General Court, 14 May 1635 [MBCR 1:116]. Appointed to committee "to consider of the act of Mr. Endicott, in defacing the colors," 6 May 1635 [MBCR 1:145]. Committee to deal with "Soheage, an Indian the sachem of Pyquaagg now called Wythersfield," 5 April 1638 [CCCR 1:20]. Estate: Granted a cowyard of three roods in Cambridge, 5 August 1633 [CaTR 5]. Granted two acres in "the mead[ow] next Wattertowne weir," 21 April 1635 [CaTR 12]. Granted a proportional share of three in meadow ground, 20 August 1635 [CaTR 13]. Granted two acres between Charlestown path and the common pales, 8 February 1635/6 [CaTR 17]. In the Cambridge land inventory, on 20 August 1635, William Goodwin was listed with eight parcels of land: one house with backside in town, about half a rood; three roods in Cowyard Row; two acres and a half in Old Field; two acres in Old Field; fourteen acres and a half in the Neck of Land; one acre and a rood in the Ox Marsh; three acres and one rood in Long Marsh; and thirteen acres in the Great Marsh [CaBOP 12-13]. (Most of this land passed into the hands of Samuel Shepard [CaBOP 77].) In the Hartford land inventory of February 1639 "Mr. William Goodwing elder there in Christ Church" held twenty-two parcels, seven of which had been granted to him: three acres with dwelling house, outhouses, yards and gardens; one acre, one rood and ten perches in the Little Meadow; thirty acres, three roods and twelve perches of meadow and swamp in the North Meadow; four acres and thirty-four perches on the east side of the Great River; fourteen acres in the Old Oxpasture; eight acres in the Cowpasture; and twenty-eight acres, three roods and twenty-eight perches on the west side of the Little River. Among the remaining parcels, acquired by purchase, was "one parcel belonging to Mr. Goodwin & to John Crow jointly lying on the east side of the Great River," which they had bought from several persons, totalling seven hundred sixty-six acres [HaBOP 23-28]. On 26 March 1645 "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford upon Connecticut River, ruling elder in the Church of Christ there, and John Crow of the same town, planter," sold to "Thomas Newell of Tunkses Sepos [Farmington] and John Standly of Hartford ... all our buildings and dividend or dividends of land made or to be made at Tunkses Seposs" [Farmington LR 1:54]. On 3 October 1654 Connecticut court gave "Mr. Will[iam] Goodwin liberty to make use of what timber from the waste land belonging to the country he shall have occasion for to keep his saw mill in employment" [CCCR 1:262]. On 14 March 1660/1 Connecticut court "having heard the case respecting Jeremie and John Adams and Edward Stebbing, respecting the sale of the homelot of Thomas Greenhill, at Hartford, do sentence and conclude, that the said sale of that lot by Edward Stebbing to Mr. Goodwin is a legal sale: the sale being acknowledged by Edward Stebbin in open court" [CCCR 1:362]. Birth: By about 1591 based on date of first marriage. Death: Farmington 11 March 1673 [Farm VR Barbour 58, citing FarmLR 2:141]. Marriage: (1) Shalford, Essex, 7 November 1616 Elizabeth White, daughter of Robert White of Messing, Essex [NEHGR 55:24]; she died before January 1669/70. (2) After 7 December 1654 and by January 1669/70 Susan (Garbrand) Hooker, widow of Rev. Thomas Hooker; she died at Farmington 17 May 1676 [Farm VR Barbour 58, citing FarmLR 2:141]. Child: With first wife
i Elizabeth, b. say 1620; m. by about 1640 John Crow of Hartford (probably as his second wife, since his eldest daughter Esther was born about 1628 and so was too old to be daughter of Elizabeth Goodwin) [Goodwin Gen 105-07]. In 1674 "Ozias Goodwin aged 78 years and W[illia]m Goodwin aged about 45 years" testified that "Mr. W[illia]m Goodwin deceased and Mr. John Crow his son-in-law ... were copartners in their buyings and sellings" [Goodwin Gen 107-08, citing Connecticut Archives, Private Controversies, Volume One].
Associations: William Goodwin's first wife, Elizabeth White, was sister of Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree, and of Anna White, wife of John Porter of Windsor [NEHGR 55:22-31]. Ozias Goodwin, who first appears at Hartford in 1639, was a brother of William Goodwin. On 19 December 1661 "`the town [Hadley] renewed Osias Goodwin's former grant' on certain conditions, which Mr. William Goodwin undertook to perform `for his brother'" [Goodwin Gen 91, citing Hadley Town Records]. Comments: Included in list of those to provide pales for common, with assignment of 20 rods, dated 7 January 1632/3 (although the list was actually compiled later) [CaTR 5]. At Hampshire court on 17 March 1662/3 "Sergeant Stebbins of Springfield attorney for Mr. Goodwin of Hadley" complained against widow Sackett of Springfield, adminstratrix, and William Blomfield, adminstrator to the estate of Symon Sackett deceased, in a matter of debt and the court ruled for the plaintiff [Pynchon Court 267-68]. Bibliographic Note: The family of William Goodwin has been especially well treated in print, due mostly to the patronage of James Junius Goodwin and the research of Frank Farnsworth Starr. In 1891 a number of authors, at the behest of James Junius Goodwin, wrote lengthy chapters which were gathered as "The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut, Descendants of William and Ozias Goodwin," (Hartford 1891), cited herein as Goodwin Gen. A biographical account of William Goodwin himself was prepared by Rev. George Leon Walker (pp. 77-94), and a similar treatment of Ozias Goodwin was done by Charles J. Hoadly (pp. 97-102). Frank Farnsworth Starr compiled the genealogies of the descendants of these two immigrants (pp. 105ff.). James Junius Goodwin then commissioned Starr to compile an account of some of his ancestral lines, which did not include any Goodwin material, presumably since that had already been published in 1891 ("Various Ancestral Lines of James Goodwin and Lucy (Morgan) Goodwin of Hartford, Connecticut," 2 volumes [Hartford 1915], cited herein as Goodwin Anc). Finally, the same team produced a massive three-volume set based on decades of research on the Goodwin name in England ("English Goodwin Family Papers, Being Material Collected in the Search for the Ancestry of William and Ozias Goodwin, Immigrants of 1632 and Residents of Hartford, Connecticut," 3 volumes [Hartford 1921], cited herein as Goodwin Papers). The material of most interest to descendants of William Goodwin may be found in Volume Two (pp. 1123-24, 1171-77)."

3. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken:
"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield...
According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born.
It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted.
Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford."...
The baptism of Elizabeth White, 5th March, 1591, is recorded in the Parish Register of Shalford, as is also her marriage, 7th November, 1616, then a singlewoman of that parish, to William Goodwin of Bocking, then a singleman. There is a bequest to her in her father's will, which is dated May 27, 1617, and she was probably present at her father's burial, 17th June, 1617. No mention of her has been found later than June, 1632.
John Tallcott and William Goodwin came over in the ship "Lion," which sailed June 22d, 1632, from London for Boston. A few days before she sailed John Tallcott and his wife Dorothy, and William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth, join in a conveyance of messuages, land, etc. in Braintree and Bocking, to Martin Holbeach, gentleman, Adrain Mott, Richard Skynner, Robert Aylett and Robert Morrys. John Tallcott was of kin to Richard Skynner and his wife Dorothy Mott was related to Adrain Mott. Whether William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth were related to or connected with any of the parties does not appear; but it may be remembered that Elder William Goodwin's nephew, William, son of his brother Osias, mentions in his will in 1689 "land in Hartford which formerly belonged to his uncle John Morrice."
It is plain that John Talcott and William Goodwin were disposing of their property in England because they were going to find new homes across the ocean.
That John Talcott came from Braintree, England, and that his wife Dorothy Mott came with him to Hartford, are facts well known and long ago established.
This sale of "Fine," an abstract of which is given below was sent some time ago to Mr. James Junius Goodwin of Hartford, who has very kindly permitted its present use. It is of great genealogical value. Before the finding by Mr. Waters of Robert White's will, which is printed in Mr. Goodwin's book, the "Goodwins of Hartford, Conn.," page 68, there was no reason for believing that William Goodwin's wife Susanna was his second wife. But this will, with a bequest to "my daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Goodinge of Bocking," and the discovery afterwards of the record in the Parish Register in Shalford of their marriage in 1616, and the conveyance of land in Braintree and Bocking by John Talcott and wife Dorothy, and William Goodwin and wife Elizabeth, made in June, 1632 (just as the "Lion" was about to sail, in which these men are known to have been fellow passengers), make it highly probable that William Goodwin's wife Elizabeth came with him to Hartford, and lead irresistibly to the conclusion that Robert White's son-in-law, William Goodwin of Bocking, and Elder William Goodwin of Hartford, were the same person.
The date of the decease of William Goodwin's wife Elizabeth has not been ascertained, but it must have been before January, 1669-70, for at this date William Goodwin sold land in Hadley, Mass., and the name of his wife who then joined in the deed of it is Susanna - "the first and only record of his wife yet discovered in America."
William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth left but one child, a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Crow, an early settler of Hartford. The date of her birth is not known, but it could not have been earlier than 1617, nor has the date of her marriage been found.
It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the "Lion" in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of 200 pounds should be reduced to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the "Lion," given in Drake's Founders of New England, page 12, his name follows next after the name of William Goodwin. [Footnote included after the work "Lion": "We know the name of the vessel from Gov. Winthrop's Hist. N.E., vol. I, p. 107."] His wife's name was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted lease in the handwriting of his son Nathaniel White (now in the possession of one of his descendants), dated March 28, 1666, the lessors being John White and Mary his wife, the lessee their son Nathaniel; the premises, his house and garden, etc., in Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of the lives of said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whether said John or said Mary...
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely:
Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.
The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875.
Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880.
The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891.
John Porter and his descendants, in 1893.
Memorials of Roderick White and descendants, in 1892.
From these books some of the preceding facts have been taken, and to these genealogies the reader is referred for full and interesting memorials of these families.
"Essex to wit:} This is the final agreement made in the court of the lord king at Westminster, In three weeks from the day of the Holy Trinity, In the year of the reign of Charles by Grace of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, King, defender of the faith, etc., from his accession the eighth, before Robert Heath, Richard Hatton, Francis Harvey and George Vernon, justices, then and there present, between Martin Holbeach, gentleman, Adrian Mott, Richard Skynner, Robert Aylett and Robert Morrys, complainants, and John Tallcott and Dorothy his wife, and William Goodwyn and Elizabeth his wife, deforciants, of three messuages, one barn, three gardens, two orchards, two acres of meadow and there acres of pasture with their appurtenances in Brayntree and Bocking...

4. The book, "Ancestors & Descendants of Clark Proctor Nichols and Sarah (Sally) Stoughton in England and America, 1620-2001, by Clara Pierce Olson Overbo (2002), pp. 160-61:
"WILLIAM GOODWIN, born probably at Braintree, co. Essex, England about 1591; died at Farmington, Massachusetts 11 March, 1673; married (I) ELIZABETH WHITE, daughter of Robert White of Messing, co. Essex, England; (see White Family) (2) SUSANNAH HOOKER, widow of Reverend Thomas Hooker.
Certainly William Goodwin's early life was spent at Braintree in co. Essex where he was living at the time he became the leader of the company which migrated to the New World. It is not known just how William Goodwin and Thomas Hooker became such close friends. Some have conjectured that Hooker may have lived with the Goodwins at Braintree for a time after he was evicted from his clergy position and before he found it necessary to flee to Holland to save his life. Hooker was an ardent and eloquent orator, well known throughout the entire area, and drew crowds to hear him speak. Naturally the Braintree group would wish for Hooker to come to New England and be their preacher which he did a year later.
The Braintree group of twenty-four, under the leadership of William Goodwin, arrived in New England September 1632 aboard The Lyon. They settled in a spot that they called Wollaston, but were soon ordered by the General Court of Massachusetts to remove to Newtown, which later became known as Cambridge.
Elder Goodwin, as he was called, became their church leader in the months that followed. Hooker and Stone arrived a year later amidst much rejoicing.
Reverend Thomas Hooker was then ordained as their pastor and Samuel Stone as their teacher. William Goodwin remained as the elder, which was a very important position in the church. At least he made it an important position.
Goodwin and his family were among the hundred or so people who left Newtown and trudged the long distance to their new home in Connecticut. There he assumed leadership in the establishing of the Hartford church and the body politic.
After Hooker's death in 1647, Reverend Stone became the clergyman of the Hartford church. Stone's ideas were somewhat different than Hooker's, and by 1659, a group under the leadership of Goodwin had moved back to Massachusetts and settled in the town of Hadley.
By 1670, the Goodwin family was living at Farmington where Samuel Hooker was the minister. Sometime after the Reverend Thomas Hooker's death, his widow, Susannah, married William Goodwin, becoming his second wife. This was probably in 1670 as Goodwin's wife had died in 1669/70. The reason for William and Susannah moving to Hadley may very well have been that Susannah's son, Samuel, was the minister of the church there.
William Goodwin died at Farmington 11 March 1673 after a life well spent in doing what he felt was right for him and for the colony of which he was a part.

5. The book "Colonial Ancestors. Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]:
"Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1]
Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2]
Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3]
A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut.
In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6]
The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles.
Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley."

4. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken:
"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield...
According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born.
It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted.
Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford."...
The baptism of Elizabeth White, 5th March, 1591, is recorded in the Parish Register of Shalford, as is also her marriage, 7th November, 1616, then a singlewoman of that parish, to William Goodwin of Bocking, then a singelman. There is a bequest to her in her father's will, which is dated May 27, 1617, and she was probably present at her father's burial, 17th June, 1617. No mention of her has been found later than June, 1632.
John Tallcott and William Goodwin came over in the ship "Lion," which sailed June 22d, 1632, from London for Boston. A few days before she sailed John Tallcott and his wife Dorothy, and William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth, join in a conveyance of messuages, land, etc. in Braintree and Bocking, to Martin Holbeach, gentleman, Adrain Mott, Richard Skynner, Robert Aylett and Robert Morrys. John Tallcott was of kin to Richard Skynner and his wife Dorothy Mott was related to Adrain Mott. Whether William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth were related to or connected with any of the parties does not appear; but it may be remembered that Elder William Goodwin's nephew, William, son of his brother Osias, mentions in his will in 1689 "land in Hartford which formerly belonged to his uncle John Morrice."
It is plain that John Talcott and William Goodwin were disposing of their property in England because they were going to find new homes across the ocean.
That John Talcott came from Braintree, England, and that his wife Dorothy Mott came with him to Hartford, are facts well known and long ago established.
This sale of "Fine," an abstract of which is given below was sent some time ago to Mr. James Junius Goodwin of Hartford, who has very kindly permitted its present use. It is of great genealogical value. Before the finding by Mr. Waters of Robert White's will, which is printed in Mr. Goodwin's book, the "Goodwins of Hartford, Conn.," page 68, there was no reason for believing that William Goodwin's wife Susanna was his second wife. But this will, with a bequest to "my daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Goodinge of Bocking," and the discovery afterwards of the record in the Parish Register in Shalford of their marriage in 1616, and the conveyance of land in Braintree and Bocking by John Talcott and wife Dorothy, and William Goodwin and wife Elizabeth, made in June, 1632 (just as the "Lion" was about to sail, in which these men are known to have been fellow passengers), make it highly probable that William Goodwin's wife Elizabeth came with him to Hartford, and lead irresistibly to the conclusion that Robert White's son-in-law, William Goodwin of Bocking, and Elder William Goodwin of Hartford, were the same person.
The date of the decease of William Goodwin's wife Elizabeth has not been ascertained, but it must have been before January, 1669-70, for at this date William Goodwin sold land in Hadley, Mass., and the name of his wife who then joined in the deed of it is Susanna - "the first and only record of his wife yet discovered in America."
William Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth left but one child, a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Crow, an early settler of Hartford. The date of her birth is not known, but it could not have been earlier than 1617, nor has the date of her marriage been found.
It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the "Lion" in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of 200 pounds should be reduced to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the "Lion," given in Drake's Founders of New England, page 12, his name follows next after the name of William Goodwin. [Footnote included after the work "Lion": "We know the name of the vessel from Gov. Winthrop's Hist. N.E., vol. I, p. 107."] His wife's name was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted lease in the handwriting of his son Nathaniel White (now in the possession of one of his descendants), dated March 28, 1666, the lessors being John White and Mary his wife, the lessee their son Nathaniel; the premises, his house and garden, etc., in Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of the lives of said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whether said John or said Mary...
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely:
Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.
The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875.

Shalford, a small parish of Essex County, England, is located in the north middle section of the county, four and a half miles northwest of Braintree, the nearest railroad town, and has a population of about 700.
The writer visited this parish in August 1891, made an examination of the Church Register which begins in 1558, and found many interesting items. In the record of baptisms are found:
1560 Sept. 9, Mary Allgar daughter of William Allgar
1562 Mar. 11, Brydgette Allgar daughter of William Allgar
1565 Apr. 6, Jdhn Allgar son of William Allgar
1567 Oct. 5, John Allgar son of William Allgar
1583 May 5, Elizabeth Allgar daughter of William Allgar
In the record of burials:
1565 Aug. 1, John Allgar son of William Allgar
1575 Aug. 2, William Allgar the elder
The following entries were found in the record of marriages:
1575 Oct 16, Henry Bette son of John the elder and Anne Allgar
1582 Sept. 27, Ralfe Bette and Marye Allgar
1585 June 24, Robert Whighte and Brydgett Allgar
The last entry gives us the marriage of Robert White and Bridget Allgar; the daughter of William Allgar of Shalford. Of White's parentage and earlier history we have no knowledge. He seems to have resided at Shalford until after November 7, 1616, the date of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Goodwin then of Bocking, Essex County, later of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other towns in New England.
In May 1617, he was a resident of Messing in the same county when he made his will, and where he was buried on the 17th of June following.
Thus far, there has not been discovered any record of the death of his wife Bridget, but she is supposed to be the person of that name, to whom one Nathaniel White of Faring, Essex County, in his will made June 9, 1623, left a life annuity of £ 10. (Commissary Court of London for Essex and Herts., vol. for 1623-4, 158.)
The following is a copy of Robert White's will, as entered in the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, volume Weldon, 40... [Article transcribes will; however, I do not copy it since I already have a transcript of it in a separate note.]
It will be interesting to note that of the daughters mentioned in this will, three with their husbands, became residents of New England, as follows:
Mary, wife of Joseph Loomis of Windsor, Connecticut Elizabeth, wife of William Goodwin of Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; Hadley, Massachusetts, and Farmington, Connecticut
Anne, wife of John Porter of Windsor, Connecticut. We have no knowledge of his son Daniel, except that he was made one of the executors of the will; possibly, he was the child of a previous marriage.

6. The book, "Ancestors & Descendants of Clark Proctor Nichols and Sarah (Sally) Stoughton in England and America, 1620-2001, by Clara Pierce Olson Overbo (2002), pp. 160-61:
"WILLIAM GOODWIN, born probably at Braintree, co. Essex, England about 1591; died at Farmington, Massachusetts 11 March, 1673; married (I) ELIZABETH WHITE, daughter of Robert White of Messing, co. Essex, England; (see White Family) (2) SUSANNAH HOOKER, widow of Reverend Thomas Hooker.
Certainly William Goodwin's early life was spent at Braintree in co. Essex where he was living at the time he became the leader of the company which migrated to the New World. It is not known just how William Goodwin and Thomas Hooker became such close friends. Some have conjectured that Hooker may have lived with the Goodwins at Braintree for a time after he was evicted from his clergy position and before he found it necessary to flee to Holland to save his life. Hooker was an ardent and eloquent orator, well known throughout the entire area, and drew crowds to hear him speak. Naturally the Braintree group would wish for Hooker to come to New England and be their preacher which he did a year later.
The Braintree group of twenty-four, under the leadership of William Goodwin, arrived in New England September 1632 aboard The Lyon. They settled in a spot that they called Wollaston, but were soon ordered by the General Court of Massachusetts to remove to Newtown, which later became known as Cambridge.
Elder Goodwin, as he was called, became their church leader in the months that followed. Hooker and Stone arrived a year later amidst much rejoicing.
Reverend Thomas Hooker was then ordained as their pastor and Samuel Stone as their teacher. William Goodwin remained as the elder, which was a very important position in the church. At least he made it an important position.
Goodwin and his family were among the hundred or so people who left Newtown and trudged the long distance to their new home in Connecticut. There he assumed leadership in the establishing of the Hartford church and the body politic.
After Hooker's death in 1647, Reverend Stone became the clergyman of the Hartford church. Stone's ideas were somewhat different than Hooker's, and by 1659, a group under the leadership of Goodwin had moved back to Massachusetts and settled in the town of Hadley.
By 1670, the Goodwin family was living at Farmington where Samuel Hooker was the minister. Sometime after the Reverend Thomas Hooker's death, his widow, Susannah, married William Goodwin, becoming his second wife. This was probably in 1670 as Goodwin's wife had died in 1669/70. The reason for William and Susannah moving to Hadley may very well have been that Susannah's son, Samuel, was the minister of the church there.
William Goodwin died at Farmington 11 March 1673 after a life well spent in doing what he felt was right for him and for the colony of which he was a part.

"Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1]
Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2]
Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3]
A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut.
In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6]
The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles.
Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley."

The list names the heads of households in Windsor by June 1641. Family related ancestors included are as follows.

Joseph Loomis (H. 1639)
George Phelps (D. 1635)*
William Phelps (D. 1635)*
John Porter, Sr. (H. 1639)
The second and third generations of these founders intermarried children from many other names among the Founders. The booklet also gives some history of the founding from which I quote the following:
"The Connecticut River valley was first explored in 1614 when the Dutch explorer Adriaen Block sailed up the river as far as the Hartford area. However, the Dutch at New Amsterdam (now New York City) did not take advantage of the river valley until 1633 when they built a fort at the present site of Hartford.
The valley was also explored by the English, both Pilgrims from the Plymouth Colony and Puritans from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In April of 1631 representatives of the River Indians went to Boston and then to Plymouth to ask that each colony make settlements in the valley..." [The local Indians were seeking to preserve peace in the valley by protection from their more warlike enemies including the encroaching Pequots from the southeast and the Mohawks from the northwest.]
"...In 1633 groups from New Amsterdam, Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies explored and/or attempted to settle in the valley. During the early months of 1633, the Dutch were becoming apprehensive about the English colonies possibly settling on what they considered their land..." [The Dutch erected a fort at the present site of Hartford with two cannons and named it "House of Hope."]
"The Plymouth Colony decided to go ahead with their explorations in the late summer of 1633... under the command of Lt. William Holmes... This party landed on Sep. 26, 1633, at the junction of today's Connecticut and Farmington Rivers and immediately erected... a 'Palizado' or stockade fort.
"In the late summer of 1633 the Massachusetts Bay Colony decided to reconsider the possibilities of settling... A party led by John Oldham explored an overland route to Connecticut. They traveled westerly following an ancient Indian trail known as the Old Connecticut Path, then known as the Great Trail, until they reached the valley. His positive report encouraged the MBC to send their first party to settle the valley in 1634. Ten adventurers were the first settlers of Wethersfield. After this party of Puritans arrived in the valley, many more followed.
"At this time the MBC was ripe for a massive migration. The colony was established in 1628 by Puritans from England who were seeking to 'purify' the community's civil, economic and religious lifestyle in response to the abuses of church and state power in England. Led by Gov. John Winthrop, these Puritans felt called by God to attempt to live personal and public lives pleasing to Him in the unspoiled wilderness to form a model Christian society for the world to emulate. After a few years in the Massachusetts Bay, some of the colonists began to feel that Winthrop's version of the Puritan vision was too restrictive. He believed that God governed society through only a few select men. For these theological and political ideals as well as for the practical concern of the desire to move from the overcrowded seacoast to the new land along the fertile river, Puritans from the towns of Waterton, Dorchester and Newtown were eager to consider the possibilities opened up by Oldam's explorations in the valley.
"As a result, an advance party from Dorchester under the leadership of Roger Ludlow explored the Windsor area in the late spring of 1635 followed by a permanent settlement of 60 men, women and children in October. They probably moved just before winter to thwart the plans of yet another group of explorers, the 'Lords and Gentlemen.'
"This party of about 20 men under Francis Stiles was sent form England by Sir Richard Saltonstall. They claimed the right to settle the valley by a patent granted in 1631 by the Earl of Warwick to Saltonstall and other noblemen of England. The Stiles group arrived in Boston from England on June 16, 1635, and stayed in Boston for ten days before leaving for Windsor. They sailed up the Connecticut River..."
"All the land within the present borders of Windsor was legally purchased from these Indians [Podunk, Poquonocks, Sicaogs and Tunxis]."
"...disaster struck in the winter of 1633-34 when a smallpox epidemic spread through the River Indians tribes killing most of them..."
"The Pequots continued to conquer most of the tribes in Connecticut until they were finally stopped in the Pequot War in 1637 when the men in the river settlements united to fight after the Wethersfield massacre on April 23. After the Pequots were defeated, the River Indians, and the Englishmen were able to maintain a peaceful coexistence."
In regards to the Plymouth group "just one month after the trading post was completed... the Dutch governor at New Amsterdam sent 70 men to evict the Plymouth settlers from their trading post. When the Dutch force reached Windsor, they found the Plymouth settlers so well entrenched that after a few hostile demonstrations they returned to New Amsterdam. After this one attempt to dislodge the Windsor settlers, the Dutch took no further action against the settlement at Windsor... The trading post stayed undisturbed for nearly two years after the Dutch conflict until in 1635 two groups of settlers came form the MBC to settle on land in what is now Windsor."
"The Dorchester group who arrived in Windsor in 1636 was actually a Puritan congregation established by the Rev. John White in Plymouth, England, in 1630. Seeking a creative solution to the problems of political and religious oppression in England, the Puritans decided to emigrate to the New World to perform an 'errand in the wilderness,' to develop a model society under God free from the corruption of England. Rev. White encouraged 140 people to covenant with God and each other to live as a Christian community in the New World. Rev. John Warham and Rev. John Maverick were chosen as ministers. Others in company included... established gentlemen... William Phelps; and young, mostly single men such as... George Phelps. After a day of prayer, fasting and preaching, they boarded the Mary and Johnwhere they met together every day for worship and preaching during the ten weeks of their voyage. Landing in the New World, they established their new community in Dorchester under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony headed by Governor John Winthrop."
"After a few years differences arose between Winthrop and some of the other ministers including Rev. Thomas Hooker, Warham and Maverick concerning the basis of authority in the government by a very few people whereas others saw that all the governed should have a voice in the government. Since these two ideas could not coexist, the problems of overcrowding the seaside colony and the inducement of a lucrative fur trade in the fertile inland valley helped the Dorchester group under Warham and the Newtown group under Hooker to decide to move west as congregations to develop their vision of the Puritan community under God."
"The Dorchester group traveled to the Connecticut River Valley following the Old Connecticut Path. It is debated whether the group continued all the way to Windsor on the Old Connecticut path or rather went through Agawam (now Springfield), Massachusetts, and traveled south along the Connecticut River until they reached Windsor. Most likely they took the Old Connecticut Path all the way since there were no known paths to Agawam large enough for a group of that size until the Bay Path was discovered in 1648."
"After walking for 14 days, the group reached Windsor at the end of October and settled on the east side of the Connecticut River across form the mouth of the Scantic River. For temporary shelter they dug into the sides of the low hills along the Connecticut River making homes that were enclosed on three sides by dirt, in front by posts and on the roof by wood and thatch."
"The unusually harsh winter came early that year freezing the river over by mid-November and preventing the ship laden with their possessions and provisions from sailing upriver from Long Island Sound. Some settlers traveled downriver, freed a ship and returned to the Bay Colony. Some returned to Dorchester overland through the snow. Still others decided to stay, subsisting through the winter on acorns, malt, grain and possibly receiving some food from the Indians and other groups of settlers. Undeterred from the harshness of the first winter, the Dorchester community renewed their determination to settle permanently in the Conn. River Valley. By the end of April of 1636 most of the congregation of the Dorchester church had removed to what is now Windsor, taking their church records with them and leaving a few townsmen remaining to reorganize a new church under the ministry of the Rev. Richard Mather who arrived from England a few months later."
"The land the Dorchester settlers started building on was owned by the Plymouth group. This piece of land was from a second land purchase from the Indians stretching from the Farmington River in the south to what is now Hayden Station in the north. The Dorchester settlers refused to acknowledge that the land belonged to the Plymouth group. The Plymouth group, who had not actually settled this second piece of land, was forced to stay in the Plymouth Meadow at the junction of the two rivers and eventually sold their land to Matthew Allyn. In 1640, two years after this sale, the Plymouth House and lot was declared to be within the jurisdiction of the orders of Windsor."
"In 1637 because of the threat of a Pequot attack, the Dorchester settlers constructed a palisade or fence of wooden posts on the higher ground north of the Farmington River. Here the settlers constructed more permanent homes. After the threat of Indian attack subsided and the homes of their families were completed, the settlers built their first meetinghouse for their church in 1639. The site of the meetinghouse in the center of what is now the Palisado Green is marked by a monument to the early settlers of Windsor."
"A few days after the Dorchester group reached Windsor, another group arrived...'The Lords and Gentlemen,' this group envisioned developing the Connecticut Valley into large manor-like estates upon which they would continue to enjoy the lifestyle to which they were accustomed in England. They claimed the right to settle under the Warwick Patent... giving them the right to settle anywhere in what is now Connecticut. This group included the Stiles brothers...as well as their servants and apprentices including... Thomas Barber..."
"Although the Stiles party wanted to settle the highland around the area that is now the Palisado Green, the Dorchester settlers allowed them to settle only in the northernmost part of Plymouth's second land purchase, the land just south of what is now Hayden Station..."
"In March 1636 the General court of Massachusetts established a commission of eight members to govern the river towns, including Agawam (now Springfield), for one year. Windsor's representatives were William Phelps and Roger Ludlow."
"Early in the following year the town of Dorchester changed its name to Windsor, Newtown to Hartford, Watertown to Wethersfield. The changes from Massachusetts names to wholly new names reflected the fact that the three towns were no longer under Massachusetts jurisdiction but constituted the separate colony of Connecticut."
"The three settlements in Windsor were merging into one identity with most of the Plymouth group leaving, the Dorchester group continuing to be the most prominent..."
"In May 1638 Rev. Thomas Hooker preached a sermon in which he propounded the theological basis of a democratic government. These beliefs were actually put into words by Roger Ludlow, a brilliant legal mind trained at Oxford University. Known as the 'Fundamental Orders of 1639,' this document expressed Rev. Hooker's belief that 'the foundation of authority is laid in the free consent of the people.' Thus, Roger Ludlow and Thomas Hooker were the primary contributors to the first written constitution in the world, which expressed the right of the people to govern themselves."
"Meanwhile, large-scale emigration into Windsor continued until about 1641 when it became a trickle, reflecting both the exodus of Puritans from England and the end of that Exodus when the Puritans finally secured political power there in 1641. In most cases people migrated first to the MBC then on to the Connecticut River Valley. One of these later groups which emigrated in 1638 form England to Massachusetts and then to Windsor was led by the Rev. Ephraim Huit, who then assisted Warham in his work. That group of immigrants, many of whom came over on the Susan and Ellen included John Porter and Joseph Loomis (who married the White sisters), John Bissell, Edward and Matthew Griswold and Daniel Clarke...."

4. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken:
"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
...It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted.
Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford."
The marriage of John Porter of Felsted to Anna White of Messing, 18th October, 1620, is found in the Parish Register of Messing. The baptisms of their children, beginning with Anna, September 21, 1621, their first born, down to Mary, October 1st, 1637, the last one there baptized are recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted. They probably went to Messing soon after this date, as the baptism of their daughter Anna (who is supposed to have died in infancy), November 4, 1638, is there recorded. These facts, taken in connection with the information concerning his family contained in the will of John Porter dated April 20th, 1648, and also in the Town Records of Windsor, are regarded as good and sufficient authority for the statement that this John Porter of Felsted and John Porter of Windsor, Conn., were the same person. The names of his children in his will (omitting his two eldest daughters) are the same and in the same order of seniority as the baptisms in Felsted, except that in his will he names first all his sons, and then all his daughters. Two of his children, as already stated, were born in Windsor, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna (Anna) in 1642. His two eldest daughters were not mentioned in his will because he had given them their portions at their marriage, as appears from the report hereinafter given of the Committee to the Court in Hartford in 1650, recommending that their portions be made equal to the portions given to their younger sisters.
These two eldest daughters were Anna, who married February 24, 1644-5, William Gaylord; and Sarah, who married October 24, 1644, Joseph Judson. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record gives the death in 1648 of Rose Porter, who was buried 12th of May, 1648, doubtless that one of the younger daughters whose death is referred to in the report of the Committee. The burial of their first Samuel is recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted...
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely:
Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.
The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875.
Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880.

From these books some of the preceding facts have been taken, and to these genealogies the reader is referred for full and interesting memorials of these families...
Abstract of the Will of John Porter, dated April 20, 1648, proved 7 June, 1649. [Vol. LV. 3]
"I give to my eldest son John Porter 100 pounds, and to my second son Jeames Porter I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel Porter, Nathaniel Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Anna Porter, I give to each of them thirty pounds apiece... My son Joseph Judson is to take twenty shillings of Thomas Thornton the next winter. Also I give fifty shillings to the poor of Wyndsor Church.

His two eldest daughters Ann and Sarah thought the portions given them by their father at their marriage should be made the same as their younger sisters, as appears from the following report of the committee appointed to consider the matter.
"March 7th, 1650.
"Upon the consideration of the business referred to our consideration touching the children of John Porter of Wyndsor, deceased, We finding some expressions of his that he would make the portions of his two eldest daughters as good as his younger; also we conceive the eldest were helpful to the estate and that the Lord hath taken away one the younger daughters and that the rest of the children are disposed of without damage to their portion; our apprehensions are (if the Court see meet) that the two eldest daughters portions be made up thirty pounds apiece.

5. The book "The Descendants of John Porter of Windsor, Conn., 1635-9," comp. Henry Porter Andrews (Saratoga Springs, 1893), vol. 1, pp. 1-2, 818-19:
"Among the early settlers of New England, in the great tide of emigration from England, subsequent to the granting of the charter for the colony of Massachusetts Bay, in 1628, came John Porter.
The records in England give his descent, in the sixteenth generation, from William de la Grand, a Norman knight, who came in the army of the Norman duke at the conquest, A D 1066, and that he acquired lands at or near Kenilworth, in Warwickshire.
His son Ralph (or Roger) became "Grand Porteur" to Henry first, A. D. 1120 to 1140, from which he derived the name Porter.
The Windsor church was formed in Plymouth, Eng., in March, 1630, by people from Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Warwickshires; the reverends John Maverick and John Warham being ordained, respectively, as pastor and teacher.
In 1630 they came to New England, settling at Dorchester, Mass., on the first settlement of that town. In the summer of 1635, the arrivals having become numerous, and the settlement "somewhat crowded, and hearing ye fame of ye Quinnitukut river,":a company was formed to make a settlement there, and on the fifteenth day of October they took their departure, carrying with them their church organization, under the Rev. John Warham, the Rev. Mr. Maverick remaining at Dorchester.
Trumbull says: "The journey from Massachusetts was made in about fourteen days' time; the distance being more than one hundred miles, and through a trackless wilderness. They had no guide but their compass, and made their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers, which were not passable but with the greatest difficulty. They had no cover but the heavens, nor any lodgings but those which simple nature afforded them. They drove with them one hundred and sixty head of cattle, and subsisted on the way, in a great measure, on the milk their kine."
"This adventure was the more remarkable, as many of the company were persons of figures, who had lived in England, in honor, affluence and delicacy, and were entire strangers to fatigue and danger." (See appendix, No. 1.)
This company reached the Connecticut river at a place called by the natives Matteneang, but to which the settlers gave the name of Windsor, many of their number being natives of the place of that name in England.
In 1639 the Rev. Ephraim Hewett, of Wraxhall, in Kenilworth, Eng., was called to assist Mr Warham, and it is probable that John Porter accompanied him, as at about that date his name first appears upon the public records.
John Porter's residence in Windsor appears to have been located near the "Little River," at its junction with the Connecticut, and between the residences of George Phelps and Joseph Loomis, and nearly opposite those of Henry Wolcott and Matthew Allyn.
He was for that period a man of considerable substance, as appears by his will printed in the public records of Connecticut. (See appendix, No. 3)
He died in Windsor April 22, 1648; his wife, Rose, having died in July, 1647, (See appendix, No. 2.)
Their children were (being of the second generation:)
-John Porter, born in England, 1620, married Mary Stanley.
-Sarah Porter, born in England, 1622, married Joseph Judson.
-Anna Porter, born in England, 1624, married William Gaylord.
-Samuel Porter, born in England, 1626, married Hannah Stanley.
-Rebecca Porter, born in England, 1628, died unmarried
-Mary Porter, born in England, 1630, married Samuel Grant.
-Rose Porter, born in England, 1632, died May 12, 1648.
-Joseph Porter, born in England, 1638, married Sarah Tudor.
- Nathaniel Porter, born Feb. 29, 1640, married Anna Groves.
-Hannah Porter, born Sep. 4, 1642, married John Coleman.
APPENDIX II:
Extract from a letter of Rev I. N. TARBOX, D.D.
Boston, Mass., July 17, 1884.
Henry Porter Andrews, Esq.
Dear Sir: I received your kind note this morning, and it occurs to me to say what perhaps I said to you by letter, some time since, though I am not quite certain.
Mr. John Porter seemingly had affinities with the Dorchester company, before it left England. He did not come over with it in 1630, nor did he join it while it remained in Dorchester, 1630-1636. He first appears at Windsor, Conn., with his wife and Children, in the year 1637, and was at once
treated as a man known an respected. He was put upon a committee in 1637, and was made a constable in 1639, then a high and responsible office. All the facts connected with him during his life at Windsor, indicate plainly that he was a man of substance and standing.
Many years ago I read his will, and wondered why his wife is not mentioned in it. I accepted the record of Mr. Stiles, that she died on the 12th May following, and so she would naturally have been named in such a document, but no trace of her appears in it.
...the present town clerk of Windsor ... John B. Woodford, Esq. ... was speaking … about John Porter's will, and the curious fact that his wife was not mentioned... he said that among certain errors which he had discovered in "Stiles," he thought there was one pertaining to John Porter and family... he showed... from the very early records that the Rose Porter, who was buried May 12, 1648, was the dau. of John Porter, and that his wife died in July, 1647.
I think that the dates I have given here, as to John Porter's arrival in this country, the date of his death, and those of his wife and daughter, will be found correct.
Very truly yours. Increase N. Tarbox."
APPENDIX: III.— Will of John Porter.
A particular courte in Hartford, Conn, June 7, 1649. This day was presented to this courte, the last will and testament of John Porter, late of Wyndsor, deceased, and the inventory of his estate, Anno 1648, Apl. 20.
Imprimis. This is the last will and testament made by me, John Porter, of Wyndsor. Although now weake and sick in body, yet perfect it memory, do bequeathe my soule to God that gave it, and my body to be buried, and my goods as followeth:
Item. I give to my eldest son, John Porter, one hundred pounds, and to my second son, James Porter, I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel. Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Sarah Porter and Anna Porter, I give to them thirty pounds apiece, which is to raised out of my whole estate, as housings, lands, cattle and household goods, and is to be paid as they come to be twenty years of age, or sooner if my overseers see just cause, without whose consent I would not have them to manage; which if they do, it shall be in the power of my overseers to abate of their portions, and give it to the others that are more deserving.
And in case of any of my children die before they he married or be twenty years of age, their portion shalt he equally divided amongst the rest, unless the overseers see cause to abate it upon the eldest. In case my estate shall he found upon particular view, to rise to be more in value than these portions above given, or less than the sum, my will is that it shall be proportionally added or rebated to my children's several portions except my overseers see cause to abate my eldest son, that hath the biggest portion, or likewise my second.
The particular goods wherein each child shall have his portion paid out of my whole estate, I leave to the direction of my overseers. My son, Joseph Judson, is to take twenty shillings of Thomas Thornton, next winter.
Also, I give fifty shillings to Wyndsor church. My desire is that my beloved friends would be the overseers of this my last will and testament, Mr. Warham of Wyndsor, Mr. Goodwin of Hartford, Goodman White of Hartford, and Matthew Griswold of Wyndsor. JohnPorter
Witness, Henry Clarke, Abigail Branker."

6. FHL publication "The Skinner Kinsmen. The Descendants of John Skinner of Hartford, Connecticut," compiled by Mrs. Natalie R. Fernald (The Pioneer Press; Washington, D.C.) quotes TAG 29:723: "Pynchon-Brett-Porter:
"Thomas Brett, gent., of Terling, co. Essex, in his will dated 15 Jan. 1615/16, proved 13 Nov. 1616, not only named his sister Frances Pynchon and her eight children (including William Pynchon, the settler of Springfield, Mass.), but also bequeathed to his "cousin" (nephew) Mr. John Porter his tenement called Philles in the parish of Little Baddow, Essex, and made the said John Porter his residuary legatee and one of his executors.
It seems certain that this John Porter was the resident of Little Baddow and later of Felsted, Essex, who married at Little Baddow on 12 Sept. 1587 Sybil Vessey, dau. of Thomas Vessey of that place. They were the parents of John1 Porter of Felsted, Essex, and Windsor, Conn., who was, therefor, a cousin of the Pynchons of Springfield, See H.F. Waters, "Genealogical Gleanings in England, 2:855-6; "The American Genealogist, 16:50; 18:58."

7. The book "Dorset Pilgrims," 1989:
pp. 144-5: "The minority who arrived upriver direct from England consisted of two groups … The [second] group came in 1638 in the company of the Rev. Ephraim Huitt, John Warham's new teaching colleague of Windsor church … He and his family brought with them a party consisting of Warwickshire neighbours like Edward Griswold; Joseph Loomis and John Porter from Essex..."
p. 157: "Such mercantile activities were undertaken by a small number of the more substantial Windsor settlers … A few had the resources and enterprise to become fully fledged merchants with connections abroad. John Porter senior was a prosperous merchant who employed his son James as his agent in London, where he was to become agent for Connecticut."
p. 161: Concerning the various committees appointed by the Windsor community: "There was the committee to determine what cows should be put to the bull for breeding and the other (John Bissell and John Porter) to ensure that enough calves were reared for the supply of hides."
p. 166: "The constable was thus a key figure in the town [of Windsor]. Originally there was only one, the first being the elder Henry Wolcott … followed by the elder John Porter, both men of weight. However, because the constable was responsible for arresting, prosecuting and punishing his fellow townsmen and for extracting their taxes, it was scarcely a popular office and two came to be appointed at a time. It is not surprising that only one man in our period was ever persuaded to take on the job for more than one term."
p. 200: "The Loomis boys [Nathaniel and Thomas] had as a fellow trooper a first cousin, John Porter junior. His father had come from Felsted in Essex, a neighbouring village of the Loomis's town of Braintree. Porter and Loomis had married sisters and the two families emigrated together, probably with the Huitt party in the summer of 1638, and settled near each other on large home lots on the Island. Like the Loomises, the Porters were a large, established family of means. There were nine children and John Porter's initial land grant of 400 acres rated him almost in the top quarter of land ownership; and when he died, an elderly man, ten years later, he left a sizable estate of ₤in land and chattels. He was a prominent citizen in Windsor, following Henry Wolcott as the town's second constable and acting as grand juror and deputy to the General Court. He traded overseas and sent his second son James to London where, as we noted, he was to become a prosperous merchant and colony agent. The eldest son John had inherited the family homestead on the Island and was to live a long and prosperous life, dying in 1688 leaving twelve children and an estate worth nearly ₤. He does not appear to have followed his father into civic life and, apart from serving along with his peers as a dragoon in King Phillip's War, he was to achieve no active military standing."

9. The book "Colonial Ancestors. Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]:
"Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1]
Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2]
Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3]
A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut.
In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6]
The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles.
Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley."

The list names the heads of households in Windsor by June 1641. Family related ancestors included are as follows. ST=Saltonstall Party of 1635 (Lords and Gentlemen); D=Dorchester, Mass; H=Huit Party from England arrived in Massachusetts on the Susan and Ellen, 1638; *=Arrived at Dorchester on the Mary and John in 1630.:
Thomas Barber (ST. 1635)
William Filley (D. 1640)
Jeremiah Gillett
Jonathan Gillett (D. 1635)*
Nathan Gillett (D. 1635)*
Edward Griswold (H. 1639)
Matthew Griswold (H. 1639)
Joseph Loomis (H. 1639)
George Phelps (D. 1635)*
William Phelps (D. 1635)*
John Porter, Sr. (H. 1639)
The second and third generations of these founders intermarried children from many other names among the Founders. The booklet also gives some history of the founding from which I quote the following:
"The Connecticut River valley was first explored in 1614 when the Dutch explorer Adriaen Block sailed up the river as far as the Hartford area. However, the Dutch at New Amsterdam (now New York City) did not take advantage of the river valley until 1633 when they built a fort at the present site of Hartford.
The valley was also explored by the English, both Pilgrims from the Plymouth Colony and Puritans from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In April of 1631 representatives of the River Indians went to Boston and then to Plymouth to ask that each colony make settlements in the valley..." [The local Indians were seeking to preserve peace in the valley by protection from their more warlike enemies including the encroaching Pequots from the southeast and the Mohawks from the northwest.]
"...In 1633 groups from New Amsterdam, Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies explored and/or attempted to settle in the valley. During the early months of 1633, the Dutch were becoming apprehensive about the English colonies possibly settling on what they considered their land..." [The Dutch erected a fort at the present site of Hartford with two cannons and named it "House of Hope."]
"The Plymouth Colony decided to go ahead with their explorations in the late summer of 1633... under the command of Lt. William Holmes... This party landed on Sep. 26, 1633, at the junction of today's Connecticut and Farmington Rivers and immediately erected... a 'Palizado' or stockade fort.
"In the late summer of 1633 the Massachusetts Bay Colony decided to reconsider the possibilities of settling... A party led by John Oldham explored an overland route to Connecticut. They traveled westerly following an ancient Indian trail known as the Old Connecticut Path, then known as the Great Trail, until they reached the valley. His positive report encouraged the MBC to send their first party to settle the valley in 1634. Ten adventurers were the first settlers of Wethersfield. After this party of Puritans arrived in the valley, many more followed.
"At this time the MBC was ripe for a massive migration. The colony was established in 1628 by Puritans from England who were seeking to 'purify' the community's civil, economic and religious lifestyle in response to the abuses of church and state power in England. Led by Gov. John Winthrop, these Puritans felt called by God to attempt to live personal and public lives pleasing to Him in the unspoiled wilderness to form a model Christian society for the world to emulate. After a few years in the Massachusetts Bay, some of the colonists began to feel that Winthrop's version of the Puritan vision was too restrictive. He believed that God governed society through only a few select men. For these theological and political ideals as well as for the practical concern of the desire to move from the overcrowded seacoast to the new land along the fertile river, Puritans from the towns of Waterton, Dorchester and Newtown were eager to consider the possibilities opened up by Oldam's explorations in the valley.
"As a result, an advance party from Dorchester under the leadership of Roger Ludlow explored the Windsor area in the late spring of 1635 followed by a permanent settlement of 60 men, women and children in October. They probably moved just before winter to thwart the plans of yet another group of explorers, the 'Lords and Gentlemen.'
"This party of about 20 men under Francis Stiles was sent form England by Sir Richard Saltonstall. They claimed the right to settle the valley by a patent granted in 1631 by the Earl of Warwick to Saltonstall and other noblemen of England. The Stiles group arrived in Boston from England on June 16, 1635, and stayed in Boston for ten days before leaving for Windsor. They sailed up the Connecticut River..."
"All the land within the present borders of Windsor was legally purchased from these Indians [Podunk, Poquonocks, Sicaogs and Tunxis]."
"...disaster struck in the winter of 1633-34 when a smallpox epidemic spread through the River Indians tribes killing most of them..."
"The Pequots continued to conquer most of the tribes in Connecticut until they were finally stopped in the Pequot War in 1637 when the men in the river settlements united to fight after the Wethersfield massacre on April 23. After the Pequots were defeated, the River Indians, and the Englishmen were able to maintain a peaceful coexistence."
In regards to the Plymouth group "just one month after the trading post was completed... the Dutch governor at New Amsterdam sent 70 men to evict the Plymouth settlers from their trading post. When the Dutch force reached Windsor, they found the Plymouth settlers so well entrenched that after a few hostile demonstrations they returned to New Amsterdam. After this one attempt to dislodge the Windsor settlers, the Dutch took no further action against the settlement at Windsor... The trading post stayed undisturbed for nearly two years after the Dutch conflict until in 1635 two groups of settlers came form the MBC to settle on land in what is now Windsor."
"The Dorchester group who arrived in Windsor in 1636 was actually a Puritan congregation established by the Rev. John White in Plymouth, England, in 1630. Seeking a creative solution to the problems of political and religious oppression in England, the Puritans decided to emigrate to the New World to perform an 'errand in the wilderness,' to develop a model society under God free from the corruption of England. Rev. White encouraged 140 people to covenant with God and each other to live as a Christian community in the New World. Rev. John Warham and Rev. John Maverick were chosen as ministers. Others in company included... established gentlemen... William Phelps; and young, mostly single men such as... George Phelps. After a day of prayer, fasting and preaching, they boarded the Mary and Johnwhere they met together every day for worship and preaching during the ten weeks of their voyage. Landing in the New World, they established their new community in Dorchester under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony headed by Governor John Winthrop."
"After a few years differences arose between Winthrop and some of the other ministers including Rev. Thomas Hooker, Warham and Maverick concerning the basis of authority in the government by a very few people whereas others saw that all the governed should have a voice in the government. Since these two ideas could not coexist, the problems of overcrowding the seaside colony and the inducement of a lucrative fur trade in the fertile inland valley helped the Dorchester group under Warham and the Newtown group under Hooker to decide to move west as congregations to develop their vision of the Puritan community under God."
"The Dorchester group traveled to the Connecticut River Valley following the Old Connecticut Path. It is debated whether the group continued all the way to Windsor on the Old Connecticut path or rather went through Agawam (now Springfield), Massachusetts, and traveled south along the Connecticut River until they reached Windsor. Most likely they took the Old Connecticut Path all the way since there were no known paths to Agawam large enough for a group of that size until the Bay Path was discovered in 1648."
"After walking for 14 days, the group reached Windsor at the end of October and settled on the east side of the Connecticut River across form the mouth of the Scantic River. For temporary shelter they dug into the sides of the low hills along the Connecticut River making homes that were enclosed on three sides by dirt, in front by posts and on the roof by wood and thatch."
"The unusually harsh winter came early that year freezing the river over by mid-November and preventing the ship laden with their possessions and provisions from sailing upriver from Long Island Sound. Some settlers traveled downriver, freed a ship and returned to the Bay Colony. Some returned to Dorchester overland through the snow. Still others decided to stay, subsisting through the winter on acorns, malt, grain and possibly receiving some food from the Indians and other groups of settlers. Undeterred from the harshness of the first winter, the Dorchester community renewed their determination to settle permanently in the Conn. River Valley. By the end of April of 1636 most of the congregation of the Dorchester church had removed to what is now Windsor, taking their church records with them and leaving a few townsmen remaining to reorganize a new church under the ministry of the Rev. Richard Mather who arrived from England a few months later."
"The land the Dorchester settlers started building on was owned by the Plymouth group. This piece of land was from a second land purchase from the Indians stretching from the Farmington River in the south to what is now Hayden Station in the north. The Dorchester settlers refused to acknowledge that the land belonged to the Plymouth group. The Plymouth group, who had not actually settled this second piece of land, was forced to stay in the Plymouth Meadow at the junction of the two rivers and eventually sold their land to Matthew Allyn. In 1640, two years after this sale, the Plymouth House and lot was declared to be within the jurisdiction of the orders of Windsor."
"In 1637 because of the threat of a Pequot attack, the Dorchester settlers constructed a palisade or fence of wooden posts on the higher ground north of the Farmington River. Here the settlers constructed more permanent homes. After the threat of Indian attack subsided and the homes of their families were completed, the settlers built their first meetinghouse for their church in 1639. The site of the meetinghouse in the center of what is now the Palisado Green is marked by a monument to the early settlers of Windsor."
"A few days after the Dorchester group reached Windsor, another group arrived...'The Lords and Gentlemen,' this group envisioned developing the Connecticut Valley into large manor-like estates upon which they would continue to enjoy the lifestyle to which they were accustomed in England. They claimed the right to settle under the Warwick Patent... giving them the right to settle anywhere in what is now Connecticut. This group included the Stiles brothers...as well as their servants and apprentices including... Thomas Barber..."
"Although the Stiles party wanted to settle the highland around the area that is now the Palisado Green, the Dorchester settlers allowed them to settle only in the northernmost part of Plymouth's second land purchase, the land just south of what is now Hayden Station..."
"In March 1636 the General court of Massachusetts established a commission of eight members to govern the river towns, including Agawam (now Springfield), for one year. Windsor's representatives were William Phelps and Roger Ludlow."
"Early in the following year the town of Dorchester changed its name to Windsor, Newtown to Hartford, Watertown to Wethersfield. The changes from Massachusetts names to wholly new names reflected the fact that the three towns were no longer under Massachusetts jurisdiction but constituted the separate colony of Connecticut."
"The three settlements in Windsor were merging into one identity with most of the Plymouth group leaving, the Dorchester group continuing to be the most prominent..."
"In May 1638 Rev. Thomas Hooker preached a sermon in which he propounded the theological basis of a democratic government. These beliefs were actually put into words by Roger Ludlow, a brilliant legal mind trained at Oxford University. Known as the 'Fundamental Orders of 1639,' this document expressed Rev. Hooker's belief that 'the foundation of authority is laid in the free consent of the people.' Thus, Roger Ludlow and Thomas Hooker were the primary contributors to the first written constitution in the world, which expressed the right of the people to govern themselves."
"Meanwhile, large-scale emigration into Windsor continued until about 1641 when it became a trickle, reflecting both the exodus of Puritans from England and the end of that Exodus when the Puritans finally secured political power there in 1641. In most cases people migrated first to the MBC then on to the Connecticut River Valley. One of these later groups which emigrated in 1638 form England to Massachusetts and then to Windsor was led by the Rev. Ephraim Huit, who then assisted Warham in his work. That group of immigrants, many of whom came over on the Susan and Ellen included John Porter and Joseph Loomis (who married the White sisters), John Bissell, Edward and Matthew Griswold and Daniel Clarke...."

4. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken:
"The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
...It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted.
Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford."
The marriage of John Porter of Felsted to Anna White of Messing, 18th October, 1620, is found in the Parish Register of Messing. The baptisms of their children, beginning with Anna, September 21, 1621, their first born, down to Mary, October 1st, 1637, the last one there baptized are recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted. They probably went to Messing soon after this date, as the baptism of their daughter Anna (who is supposed to have died in infancy), November 4, 1638, is there recorded. These facts, taken in connection with the information concerning his family contained in the will of John Porter dated April 20th, 1648, and also in the Town Records of Windsor, are regarded as good and sufficient authority for the statement that this John Porter of Felsted and John Porter of Windsor, Conn., were the same person. The names of his children in his will (omitting his two eldest daughters) are the same and in the same order of seniority as the baptisms in Felsted, except that in his will he names first all his sons, and then all his daughters. Two of his children, as already stated, were born in Windsor, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna (Anna) in 1642. His two eldest daughters were not mentioned in his will because he had given them their portions at their marriage, as appears from the report hereinafter given of the Committee to the Court in Hartford in 1650, recommending that their portions be made equal to the portions given to their younger sisters.
These two eldest daughters were Anna, who married February 24, 1644-5, William Gaylord; and Sarah, who married October 24, 1644, Joseph Judson. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record gives the death in 1648 of Rose Porter, who was buried 12th of May, 1648, doubtless that one of the younger daughters whose death is referred to in the report of the Committee. The burial of their first Samuel is recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted...
It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely:
Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.
The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875.
Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880.
The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891.
John Porter and his descendants, in 1893.
Memorials of Roderick White and descendants, in 1892.
From these books some of the preceding facts have been taken, and to these genealogies the reader is referred for full and interesting memorials of these families...
Abstract of the Will of John Porter, dated April 20, 1648, proved 7 June, 1649. [Vol. LV. 3]
"I give to my eldest son John Porter 100 pounds, and to my second son Jeames Porter I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel Porter, Nathaniel Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Anna Porter, I give to each of them thirty pounds apiece... My son Joseph Judson is to take twenty shillings of Thomas Thornton the next winter. Also I give fifty shillings to the poor of Wyndsor Church.

His two eldest daughters Ann and Sarah thought the portions given them by their father at their marriage should be made the same as their younger sisters, as appears from the following report of the committee appointed to consider the matter.
"March 7th, 1650.
"Upon the consideration of the business referred to our consideration touching the children of John Porter of Wyndsor, deceased, We finding some expressions of his that he would make the portions of his two eldest daughters as good as his younger; also we conceive the eldest were helpful to the estate and that the Lord hath taken away one the younger daughters and that the rest of the children are disposed of without damage to their portion; our apprehensions are (if the Court see meet) that the two eldest daughters portions be made up thirty pounds apiece.

5. The book "The Descendants of John Porter of Windsor, Conn., 1635-9," comp. Henry Porter Andrews (Saratoga Springs, 1893), vol. 1, pp. 1-2, 818-19:
"Among the early settlers of New England, in the great tide of emigration from England, subsequent to the granting of the charter for the colony of Massachusetts Bay, in 1628, came John Porter.
The records in England give his descent, in the sixteenth generation, from William de la Grand, a Norman knight, who came in the army of the Norman duke at the conquest, A D 1066, and that he acquired lands at or near Kenilworth, in Warwickshire.
His son Ralph (or Roger) became "Grand Porteur" to Henry first, A. D. 1120 to 1140, from which he derived the name Porter.
The Windsor church was formed in Plymouth, Eng., in March, 1630, by people from Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Warwickshires; the reverends John Maverick and John Warham being ordained, respectively, as pastor and teacher.
In 1630 they came to New England, settling at Dorchester, Mass., on the first settlement of that town. In the summer of 1635, the arrivals having become numerous, and the settlement "somewhat crowded, and hearing ye fame of ye Quinnitukut river,":a company was formed to make a settlement there, and on the fifteenth day of October they took their departure, carrying with them their church organization, under the Rev. John Warham, the Rev. Mr. Maverick remaining at Dorchester.
Trumbull says: "The journey from Massachusetts was made in about fourteen days' time; the distance being more than one hundred miles, and through a trackless wilderness. They had no guide but their compass, and made their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers, which were not passable but with the greatest difficulty. They had no cover but the heavens, nor any lodgings but those which simple nature afforded them. They drove with them one hundred and sixty head of cattle, and subsisted on the way, in a great measure, on the milk their kine."
"This adventure was the more remarkable, as many of the company were persons of figures, who had lived in England, in honor, affluence and delicacy, and were entire strangers to fatigue and danger." (See appendix, No. 1.)
This company reached the Connecticut river at a place called by the natives Matteneang, but to which the settlers gave the name of Windsor, many of their number being natives of the place of that name in England.
In 1639 the Rev. Ephraim Hewett, of Wraxhall, in Kenilworth, Eng., was called to assist Mr Warham, and it is probable that John Porter accompanied him, as at about that date his name first appears upon the public records.
John Porter's residence in Windsor appears to have been located near the "Little River," at its junction with the Connecticut, and between the residences of George Phelps and Joseph Loomis, and nearly opposite those of Henry Wolcott and Matthew Allyn.
He was for that period a man of considerable substance, as appears by his will printed in the public records of Connecticut. (See appendix, No. 3)
He died in Windsor April 22, 1648; his wife, Rose, having died in July, 1647, (See appendix, No. 2.)
Their children were (being of the second generation:)
-John Porter, born in England, 1620, married Mary Stanley.
-Sarah Porter, born in England, 1622, married Joseph Judson.
-Anna Porter, born in England, 1624, married William Gaylord.
-Samuel Porter, born in England, 1626, married Hannah Stanley.
-Rebecca Porter, born in England, 1628, died unmarried
-Mary Porter, born in England, 1630, married Samuel Grant.
-Rose Porter, born in England, 1632, died May 12, 1648.
-Joseph Porter, born in England, 1638, married Sarah Tudor.
- Nathaniel Porter, born Feb. 29, 1640, married Anna Groves.
-Hannah Porter, born Sep. 4, 1642, married John Coleman.
APPENDIX II:
Extract from a letter of Rev I. N. TARBOX, D.D.
Boston, Mass., July 17, 1884.
Henry Porter Andrews, Esq.
Dear Sir: I received your kind note this morning, and it occurs to me to say what perhaps I said to you by letter, some time since, though I am not quite certain.
Mr. John Porter seemingly had affinities with the Dorchester company, before it left England. He did not come over with it in 1630, nor did he join it while it remained in Dorchester, 1630-1636. He first appears at Windsor, Conn., with his wife and Children, in the year 1637, and was at once
treated as a man known an respected. He was put upon a committee in 1637, and was made a constable in 1639, then a high and responsible office. All the facts connected with him during his life at Windsor, indicate plainly that he was a man of substance and standing.
Many years ago I read his will, and wondered why his wife is not mentioned in it. I accepted the record of Mr. Stiles, that she died on the 12th May following, and so she would naturally have been named in such a document, but no trace of her appears in it.
...the present town clerk of Windsor ... John B. Woodford, Esq. ... was speaking … about John Porter's will, and the curious fact that his wife was not mentioned... he said that among certain errors which he had discovered in "Stiles," he thought there was one pertaining to John Porter and family... he showed... from the very early records that the Rose Porter, who was buried May 12, 1648, was the dau. of John Porter, and that his wife died in July, 1647.
I think that the dates I have given here, as to John Porter's arrival in this country, the date of his death, and those of his wife and daughter, will be found correct.
Very truly yours. Increase N. Tarbox."
APPENDIX: III.— Will of John Porter.
A particular courte in Hartford, Conn, June 7, 1649. This day was presented to this courte, the last will and testament of John Porter, late of Wyndsor, deceased, and the inventory of his estate, Anno 1648, Apl. 20.
Imprimis. This is the last will and testament made by me, John Porter, of Wyndsor. Although now weake and sick in body, yet perfect it memory, do bequeathe my soule to God that gave it, and my body to be buried, and my goods as followeth:
Item. I give to my eldest son, John Porter, one hundred pounds, and to my second son, James Porter, I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel. Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Sarah Porter and Anna Porter, I give to them thirty pounds apiece, which is to raised out of my whole estate, as housings, lands, cattle and household goods, and is to be paid as they come to be twenty years of age, or sooner if my overseers see just cause, without whose consent I would not have them to manage; which if they do, it shall be in the power of my overseers to abate of their portions, and give it to the others that are more deserving.
And in case of any of my children die before they he married or be twenty years of age, their portion shalt he equally divided amongst the rest, unless the overseers see cause to abate it upon the eldest. In case my estate shall he found upon particular view, to rise to be more in value than these portions above given, or less than the sum, my will is that it shall be proportionally added or rebated to my children's several portions except my overseers see cause to abate my eldest son, that hath the biggest portion, or likewise my second.
The particular goods wherein each child shall have his portion paid out of my whole estate, I leave to the direction of my overseers. My son, Joseph Judson, is to take twenty shillings of Thomas Thornton, next winter.
Also, I give fifty shillings to Wyndsor church. My desire is that my beloved friends would be the overseers of this my last will and testament, Mr. Warham of Wyndsor, Mr. Goodwin of Hartford, Goodman White of Hartford, and Matthew Griswold of Wyndsor. JohnPorter
Witness, Henry Clarke, Abigail Branker."

6. FHL publication "The Skinner Kinsmen. The Descendants of John Skinner of Hartford, Connecticut," compiled by Mrs. Natalie R. Fernald (The Pioneer Press; Washington, D.C.) quotes TAG 29:723: "Pynchon-Brett-Porter:
"Thomas Brett, gent., of Terling, co. Essex, in his will dated 15 Jan. 1615/16, proved 13 Nov. 1616, not only named his sister Frances Pynchon and her eight children (including William Pynchon, the settler of Springfield, Mass.), but also bequeathed to his "cousin" (nephew) Mr. John Porter his tenement called Philles in the parish of Little Baddow, Essex, and made the said John Porter his residuary legatee and one of his executors.
It seems certain that this John Porter was the resident of Little Baddow and later of Felsted, Essex, who married at Little Baddow on 12 Sept. 1587 Sybil Vessey, dau. of Thomas Vessey of that place. They were the parents of John1 Porter of Felsted, Essex, and Windsor, Conn., who was, therefor, a cousin of the Pynchons of Springfield, See H.F. Waters, "Genealogical Gleanings in England, 2:855-6; "The American Genealogist, 16:50; 18:58."

7. The book "Dorset Pilgrims," 1989:
pp. 144-5: "The minority who arrived upriver direct from England consisted of two groups … The [second] group came in 1638 in the company of the Rev. Ephraim Huitt, John Warham's new teaching colleague of Windsor church … He and his family brought with them a party consisting of Warwickshire neighbours like Edward Griswold; Joseph Loomis and John Porter from Essex..."
p. 157: "Such mercantile activities were undertaken by a small number of the more substantial Windsor settlers … A few had the resources and enterprise to become fully fledged merchants with connections abroad. John Porter senior was a prosperous merchant who employed his son James as his agent in London, where he was to become agent for Connecticut."
p. 161: Concerning the various committees appointed by the Windsor community: "There was the committee to determine what cows should be put to the bull for breeding and the other (John Bissell and John Porter) to ensure that enough calves were reared for the supply of hides."
p. 166: "The constable was thus a key figure in the town [of Windsor]. Originally there was only one, the first being the elder Henry Wolcott … followed by the elder John Porter, both men of weight. However, because the constable was responsible for arresting, prosecuting and punishing his fellow townsmen and for extracting their taxes, it was scarcely a popular office and two came to be appointed at a time. It is not surprising that only one man in our period was ever persuaded to take on the job for more than one term."
p. 200: "The Loomis boys [Nathaniel and Thomas] had as a fellow trooper a first cousin, John Porter junior. His father had come from Felsted in Essex, a neighbouring village of the Loomis's town of Braintree. Porter and Loomis had married sisters and the two families emigrated together, probably with the Huitt party in the summer of 1638, and settled near each other on large home lots on the Island. Like the Loomises, the Porters were a large, established family of means. There were nine children and John Porter's initial land grant of 400 acres rated him almost in the top quarter of land ownership; and when he died, an elderly man, ten years later, he left a sizable estate of ₤in land and chattels. He was a prominent citizen in Windsor, following Henry Wolcott as the town's second constable and acting as grand juror and deputy to the General Court. He traded overseas and sent his second son James to London where, as we noted, he was to become a prosperous merchant and colony agent. The eldest son John had inherited the family homestead on the Island and was to live a long and prosperous life, dying in 1688 leaving twelve children and an estate worth nearly ₤. He does not appear to have followed his father into civic life and, apart from serving along with his peers as a dragoon in King Phillip's War, he was to achieve no active military standing."

"Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1]
Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2]
Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3]
A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut.
In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6]
The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles.
Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley."

MARRIAGE:
1. The marriage of Mary Griffin and David Winchell is disputed as noted at the following website 17 Feb 2008: http://kinnexions.com/ancestries/griffin.htm from the files of Stephen M. Lawson:
"Both the 'Register of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut' (1941) and 'The Winchell Genealogy' (1869) claim that Mary Griffin, daughter of John and Anna (Bancroft) Griffin, married David WINCHELL as his second wife. Mrs. Albert H. Chase, in her article "David-2 Winchell (Robert-1) of Suffield, Conn.," TAG 24:1, pp 49-50, provides the evidence needed to remove this claim and state that "David Winchell had but one wife, Elizabeth Filley, whom he married 17 November 1669, the mother of his children."
Since the claim of the Winchell-Griffin connection has been in print for over 125 years, the recent forest of family trees based on outdated information with little documentation will spread this error rapidly. The Griffin-Bancroft branch is here to provide descendants of David WINCHELL with information on the family tree branch that needs to be pruned, and descendants of Mary (GRIFFIN) WILSON with information on the branch to be engrafted."

2. “The American Genealogist,” 24 [1948]:50-51, “David2 Winchell (Robert1) of Suffield, Conn.,” by Mrs. Albert H. Chase of Norwich, Conn.:
“David Winchell had but one wife, Elizabeth Filley, whom he married 17 November 1669, the mother of his children. Several authorities have given him a second wife, Mary Griffin, the daughter of John1 Griffin, who was born 1 March 1651. Among these are the Register of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut (1941) and The Winchell Genealogy. Let us first examine the Register:
Page 909, David Winchell, m. Windsor, 1 May 1672, Mary Griffin b. Windsor 1 Mar. 1651, d. 23 June 1728.
Page 315, Samuel Wilson, m. Windsor, 1 May 1672, Mary Griffin b. Windsor 1 Mar. 1651, d. 23 June 1728.
It is obvious that Mary Griffin could not have married both David Winchell and Samuel Wilson the same day. The Register gives a daughter, Martha Winchell, born at Suffield about 1678, daughter of David and Mary (Griffin) Winchell. Martha's birth is not recorded on the Suffield Vital Records, but she was the daughter of David and Elizabeth as will appear.
The Winchell Genealogy, pages 63-64, makes Mary Griffin the second wife and mother of all the children except the first child, Joseph. The mistake seems to have originated in Stiles's History of Ancient Windsor, Vol. 2, page 825, where the marriage is given of David Winchell to Elizabeth Filley, November, 1669, and then the first three children: Joseph, b. 13 Sept. 1670; Christian, b. 9 Mar. 1673; and Elizabeth, b. 7 Dec. 1675. These are all the children given. Under this is noted: David Winchell m. 1 May 1672 Mary Griffin. If this last statement were correct and referred to the David Winchell who married Elizabeth Filley, then only one child, Joseph, could be Elizabeth's, and that is so stated in The Winchell Genealogy. However, the vital records of Suffield, Conn., make it all clear. Two of the children (Mary and Jedediah) are called children of David and Elizabeth; and the death record of Elizabeth, 23 June 1728, reads: Elizabeth, widow of David (Vol. 1, p. 13).
Samuel Wilson and his wife Mary Griffin had a large family. Mary (Griffin) Wilson's death should be checked since the death date of Elizabeth (Filley) Winchell has been substituted for hers. For Wilson, see Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. 4, page 588.”

1. Here is a link to a photo of the famous brass effigy of Joane Berry: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/1771794916/ -- verified in person by myself 9 Sep 2015 (sits in the center aisle just back of the crossing of aisles under a rug):
The effigy reads: Beneath her effigy is a larger brass plate stating: "Here vnderlyeth the body of Ioane Berry daughter of Ieffry Berry sometime of the parish of Midley and wyfe to Iohn Austen of this pish [parish] of Horsmonden beinge of the age of 36 yeares who depted the 9th of Decemb: 1604 and left behind her 8 sones and one davghter.

From the Internet accessed 19 Aug 2015: "John Austen of Goudhurst, Kent, married Joan Berry in 1584. Among their many descendants was was one of England's finest writers, Jane Austen and two brothers who became Rear Admirals of the British Fleet. Although John has usually been regarded as the ancestor of the family it is now thought that his great grandfather was William Astyn of Yalding. Descendants may have migrated to Ramsgate and Loose in Kent. The West Kent branch became wealthy through wool and cloth, purchasing Broadford and Grovehurst at Horsmonden."
To see these estates, look at this link: http://austenfamilies.weebly.com/john-austen-of-goudhurst-m-joan-berry-1584.html

2. Jeffry Berry is mentioned by name as the father on his daughter Joane's tomb in Horsmonden, which states Joane was born 14 Feb 1565 in Midley (next door to Lydd) and married in Lydd. Midley parish records no longer exist except for a couple pages of the Bishop's Transcripts. The Lydd parish records begin about 1570 and have the following entries:
- The 1584 marriage of Johan Berey to John Austen.
- A 27 Aug 1586 christening of Catherin -- dau. of Geffrey Berry.
- Jefery Berry chr. 24 Nov 1611 -- son of John Berry.
- John Berye chr 23 Nov 1595 -- son of John Berye.
Since we know Joane was born 1565 to Jeffry Berry, the 1586 christening of Catherin seems too late to be Joane's sister -- indeed we find the probate of a different Jeffrey Berry in 1587 in which only one daughter is named: Catherin. This would indicate that there were two sequential generations of Jeffreys with perhaps one being the father of the other.
John Berry is probably related since the name Jefery is used a generation later.
The next Berry records in Lydd are marriages in the mid-1750s.

3. The book "A Goodly Heritage -- A history of Jane Austen's family," by George Holbert Tucker (1983), Chapter 1 (pp. 15-23): "The Austens of Kent" with notes (p. 213). Note that our line of descent is through the third son of John Austen I whereas Jane descends from the fifth son Francis. The following is a shortened excerpt from the first chapter; however, see the notes of the earliest Austen in my database for the full transcription:
"Jane Austen came of a goodly heritage. By birth, and with the added gift of genius tempered with amused ironic detachment, she was the ideal delineator of her particular class - the English country gentry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. On her father's side she was descended from six well-documented generations of respectable Kentish land­ owners who had gradually achieved eminence in their corner of England by way of the broadcloth trade.[1] That, and iron­ working, had been the leading industries of the Weald of Kent for many generations. The Leighs of Cheshire, her mother's family, were much more aristocratic. Not only was their social position higher than the Kentish Austens', but their distinguished pedigree, extending back into the mists of the Middle Ages, had ramifications that connected them with some of the most memorable names in English history.[2]
Many years after Jane Austen's death, in an undated letter to his nephew, the Reverend James Edward Austen-Leigh, her brother, Henry evaluated his paternal ancestry thus: '...it is no scandal to say that my aforesaid relations of West Kent never raised any alarming fears of their setting even the Medway on fire.'[3] Significantly, he did not feel it necessary to draw a contrast between his Austen and Leigh backgrounds.
The Weald of Kent, the home of Jane Austen's paternal forebears, derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning forest.[4] It is now used to denote that part of England lying between the North and South Downs, including a fair-sized part of West Kent, a greater part of Sussex, and fragments of Surrey and Hampshire.[5] For centuries before the Roman occupation of Britain it was an almost impenetrable woodland, traversed only by ancient trails, inhabited by robbers, wolves, wild boar and deer, and regularly visited in season by swineherds to fatten their flocks. The region remained remote even after the Romans brought their legions and made roads. But by the sixteenth century, when Jane Austen's ancestors rose to prominence there, much of the timber had been felled, and the area was dotted with clearings, where farming, cloth-weaving, and iron-smelting activities clustered around the square-towered medieval churches that still grace the Wealden countryside.
The surname Austen, variously spelled Austen, Austin, Astyn, and Awsten, before standardization settled on the first two, is still fairly common in the Weald.[6] The 1978 Tunbridge Wells telephone directory, covering a radius of a little less than fifty miles including much of the Kentish Weald, listed fifty Austen families and seventy-one Austins. Both surnames are diminutives of Augustine, the Old French version of the Latin Augustinus, the usual Middle English form of a saint's name.[7] The saint in this particular instance was St Augustine (d. AD 604), the 'Apostle of the English' and first Archbishop of Canterbury, whose name often was shortened to St Austin.
Jane Austen's confirmed paternal ancestry begins during the reign of Elizabeth I .with her fourth great-grandfather, John Austen I of Horsmonden, Kent, who was born around 1560 and died in March 1620. Reputable genealogists, including Sir Anthony Wagner, Clarenceux King of Arms, have speculated that John Austen I of Horsmonden was a great-grandson of a William Astyn, who lived at Yalding, a Wealden town a few miles to the north of Horsmonden. His will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in 1522, during the reign of Henry VIII. However no conclusive proof for this assumption has so far been established.[8]
John Austen I married Joan, a daughter of Jeffrey Berry of Midley, Kent, in September 1584. After bearing him eight sons and one daughter, she died in December 1604, in giving birth to twin sons, Thomas and Richard, who survived. She is buried beneath the nave of the sandstone church dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch in Pisidia, that stands in lonely Gothic dignity some two miles from the present village of Horsmonden. Her gravestone bears a brass representing a Jacobean lady, her hands clasped in prayer, wearing a great beaver hat and a high, pleated ruff. Above her effigy is a small brass plate with a Latin sentence that roughly translated says: 'O friend, if you seek the grave of the one who prepared it, it was John my husband by the name of Austen.' Beneath her effigy is a larger brass plate recording, among other things, that Joan Austen 'DIED IN CHILDBED OFTEN VTTERING THESE / SPEACHES LET NETHER HVSBAND NOR CHILDREN NOR / LANDS NOR GOODS SEPERATE ME FROM THE MY GOD.[9] It is not as dramatic as Jane Austen's last words, 'I want nothing but death', but its sincerity and directness expresses the deep-rooted, unpretentious piety that characterized Joan Austen's famous descendant. ·
John Austen I outlived his wife by' sixteen years, and is buried beside her. His will shows he was a man of means, owning property in both Kent and Sussex. He was succeeded by his eldest son, John Austen II (1585-1650), who, dying without issue, was succeeded by his eldest surviving brother, Francis (1600-88), Jane Austen's third great-grandfather.
John Austen I had been content to fill the role of a prosperous farmer, but by the time his surviving sons reached maturity they began to designate themselves as 'clothiers', that is, the fabricators of woollen cloth. Kent had been famous for its broadcloth since the fourteenth century, at which time Edward III invited Flemish weavers to come 'into our kingdom of England for the purpose of working wools there and otherwise exercising their mystery'.[10] Many of these Flemish weavers settled in the Weald of Kent, where water for finishing the heavy cloth was plentiful. By the fifteenth century the occupation of clothier had become so profitable that the fortunes of many former agricultural families like the Austens had been made in wool. The clothier provided the capital and the wool for the over-all operation, and the broadcloth, woven on looms by skilled weavers in cottages surrounding the clothier's more pretentious dwelling, was then processed in workrooms attached to his house. After that it was sold to London factors, who distributed it throughout England and on the Continent. For centuries Kentish broadcloth enjoyed an enviable reputation, but by the early eighteenth century, when Jane Austen's ancestors had turned to other occupations, its production was practically extinct in the Weald, the manufacture of finer types of cloth having shifted to other parts of England, particularly the Cotswolds. Even so, the industry had built up fortunes and a sturdy independence in many Wealden farming and sheep­ breeding families.
Daniel Defoe has this to say concerning the social class from which Jane Austen's paternal ancestors were descended:
"These clothiers and farmers, and the remains of them, upon the general elections of members of parliament for the country, show themselves still there, being ordinarily 14 or 1500 freeholders brought from this side of the county; and who for the plainness of their appearance, are called the gray coats of Kent; but are so considerable, that whoever they vote for is always sure to carry it, and therefore the gentlemen are very careful to preserve their interest among them."[11]
In this connection it is interesting ro note that in a book formerly owned by Jane Austen and now belonging to the Jane Austen Memorial Trust,[12] in commenting on a woollen works at Wootton-under-Edge 'belonging to Messrs. Austin' someone has written 'A branch of the Austens - the "Gray Coats of Kent" ', showing that the Hampshire Austens were well aware of their Wealden clothier background.[13]
To return to the Austen chronicle: it was Francis, the younger son of John Austen I, who acquired the two many-gabled, half­ timbered Tudor manor houses (still extant) of Grovehurst and Broadford near Horsmonden in 1647, that were subsequently occupied by many generations of his family. At his death in 1688 Francis left a handsome inheritance to his only son, John Austen III, Jane Austen's great-great-grandfather, who was born around 1629 and married Jane Atkins of Brightling, Sussex. By her he had two sons, John Austen IV and Francis who died young, and three daughters, Jane, Ellen, and Anne. Only John Austen IV and his sister Jane had any direct connection with Jane Austen's family. In the case of the earlier Jane Austen, the benefits were unforeseen, but long-lasting...

From the Internet accessed 19 Aug 2015: "John Austen of Goudhurst, Kent, married Joan Berry in 1584. Among their many descendants was was one of England's finest writers, Jane Austen and two brothers who became Rear Admirals of the British Fleet. Although John has usually been regarded as the ancestor of the family it is now thought that his great grandfather was William Astyn of Yalding. Descendants may have migrated to Ramsgate and Loose in Kent. The West Kent branch became wealthy through wool and cloth, purchasing Broadford and Grovehurst at Horsmonden."

It was under Francis Austen that the Horsmonden cloth industry reached its zenith. He purchased Grovehurst with its apppendant manors from Henry Whetenhall, a lineal descendant of the de Grofhursts... The house adapted as another 'hall' for his trade, in addtion to Braodford.
This was the family, let it be noted, from which sprang the immortal Jane [Austen, the writer] ...
Came the dawn of the Hanoverian epoch, and Horsmonden was once more an exclusively agricultural community.
Kent as a county was never noted for particularly vast estates, but the wide diffusion of rights in the soil which now followed the feudal system was now coalescing. The yeoman freeholders, whose holdings had been uneconomically fragmented by the Kentish system of inheritance, gavelkind, or equal division among male co-heirs, were giving way to the building up of medium-sized estates which could allow a certain rationalization in the size and compactness of agricultural tenancies. The land of Horsmonden, apart from that belonging to certain ecclesiastical and scholastic foundations, was gathered into the hands of three families of minor gentry. The Marriotts in the south were the successors of the City merchant draper Beswicke. The Austens, whose prosperity had originated from the cloth industry, were seated at Broadford. (In the nineteenth century they built a monstous mansion called Capel Manor, now mercifully demolished.) The Courthopes who derived their wealth from interests in the iron industry ...
This was the squirearchial triumvirate of a social system which was to survive through the eighteenth, nineteenth, and into the beginning of the twentieth century in the same three families. On their ownership of land rested their social prestige. Under them lived a comfortable class of agricultural tenants. An American visitor to Horsmonden in 1850 wrote in some surprise that 'the farmers who occupy and cultivate the land have not a freehold estate in it. They occupy it as tenants under short leases; either from year to year, or for seven, fourteen or twenty-one years. They pay an annual rent ... and often continue to occupy the same land, as tenants, from father to son. There are not fifty acres in Horsmonden the freehold of which is owned by the men who either cultivate or superintend the cultivation.' ...
Our 1850 chronicler goes on to observe that 'below the farmers there is a much more numerous class -- the farm laborers; of whom some farmers employ five, ten or fifteen. They recieve for wages 10s a week. Whether married or single, their food is not furnished by their employers but they board themselves. With the ten shillings the laborer must support himself and his wife, and six children if he has them and that in a county where provisons are dear. They seldom rate meat oftener than once a week, and many not once a month'."

3. The book "A Goodly Heritage -- A history of Jane Austen's family," by George Holbert Tucker (1983), Chapter 1 (pp. 15-23): "The Austens of Kent" with notes (p. 213). Note that our line of descent is through the third son of John Austen I whereas Jane descends from the fifth son Francis. The following is a shortened excerpt from the first chapter; however, see the notes of the earliest Austen in my database for the full transcription:
"Jane Austen came of a goodly heritage. By birth, and with the added gift of genius tempered with amused ironic detachment, she was the ideal delineator of her particular class - the English country gentry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. On her father's side she was descended from six well-documented generations of respectable Kentish land­ owners who had gradually achieved eminence in their corner of England by way of the broadcloth trade.[1] That, and iron­ working, had been the leading industries of the Weald of Kent for many generations. The Leighs of Cheshire, her mother's family, were much more aristocratic. Not only was their social position higher than the Kentish Austens', but their distinguished pedigree, extending back into the mists of the Middle Ages, had ramifications that connected them with some of the most memorable names in English history.[2]
Many years after Jane Austen's death, in an undated letter to his nephew, the Reverend James Edward Austen-Leigh, her brother, Henry evaluated his paternal ancestry thus: '...it is no scandal to say that my aforesaid relations of West Kent never raised any alarming fears of their setting even the Medway on fire.'[3] Significantly, he did not feel it necessary to draw a contrast between his Austen and Leigh backgrounds.
The Weald of Kent, the home of Jane Austen's paternal forebears, derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning forest.[4] It is now used to denote that part of England lying between the North and South Downs, including a fair-sized part of West Kent, a greater part of Sussex, and fragments of Surrey and Hampshire.[5] For centuries before the Roman occupation of Britain it was an almost impenetrable woodland, traversed only by ancient trails, inhabited by robbers, wolves, wild boar and deer, and regularly visited in season by swineherds to fatten their flocks. The region remained remote even after the Romans brought their legions and made roads. But by the sixteenth century, when Jane Austen's ancestors rose to prominence there, much of the timber had been felled, and the area was dotted with clearings, where farming, cloth-weaving, and iron-smelting activities clustered around the square-towered medieval churches that still grace the Wealden countryside.
The surname Austen, variously spelled Austen, Austin, Astyn, and Awsten, before standardization settled on the first two, is still fairly common in the Weald.[6] The 1978 Tunbridge Wells telephone directory, covering a radius of a little less than fifty miles including much of the Kentish Weald, listed fifty Austen families and seventy-one Austins. Both surnames are diminutives of Augustine, the Old French version of the Latin Augustinus, the usual Middle English form of a saint's name.[7] The saint in this particular instance was St Augustine (d. AD 604), the 'Apostle of the English' and first Archbishop of Canterbury, whose name often was shortened to St Austin.
Jane Austen's confirmed paternal ancestry begins during the reign of Elizabeth I .with her fourth great-grandfather, John Austen I of Horsmonden, Kent, who was born around 1560 and died in March 1620. Reputable genealogists, including Sir Anthony Wagner, Clarenceux King of Arms, have speculated that John Austen I of Horsmonden was a great-grandson of a William Astyn, who lived at Yalding, a Wealden town a few miles to the north of Horsmonden. His will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in 1522, during the reign of Henry VIII. However no conclusive proof for this assumption has so far been established.[8]
John Austen I married Joan, a daughter of Jeffrey Berry of Midley, Kent, in September 1584. After bearing him eight sons and one daughter, she died in December 1604, in giving birth to twin sons, Thomas and Richard, who survived. She is buried beneath the nave of the sandstone church dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch in Pisidia, that stands in lonely Gothic dignity some two miles from the present village of Horsmonden. Her gravestone bears a brass representing a Jacobean lady, her hands clasped in prayer, wearing a great beaver hat and a high, pleated ruff. Above her effigy is a small brass plate with a Latin sentence that roughly translated says: 'O friend, if you seek the grave of the one who prepared it, it was John my husband by the name of Austen.' Beneath her effigy is a larger brass plate recording, among other things, that Joan Austen 'DIED IN CHILDBED OFTEN VTTERING THESE / SPEACHES LET NETHER HVSBAND NOR CHILDREN NOR / LANDS NOR GOODS SEPERATE ME FROM THE MY GOD.[9] It is not as dramatic as Jane Austen's last words, 'I want nothing but death', but its sincerity and directness expresses the deep-rooted, unpretentious piety that characterized Joan Austen's famous descendant. ·
John Austen I outlived his wife by' sixteen years, and is buried beside her. His will shows he was a man of means, owning property in both Kent and Sussex. He was succeeded by his eldest son, John Austen II (1585-1650), who, dying without issue, was succeeded by his eldest surviving brother, Francis (1600-88), Jane Austen's third great-grandfather.

CHRISTENING:
1. Online Goudhurst Church record:
Christening entry says: April 1560 - baptized the 26 daie ___ sone of Robert Austen." Apparently the priest forgot to enter the name. It can only be for John considering the other children are accounted for and 1560 was the estimated date based on the marriage record.. The parish records begin 1558.

3216 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Here is some information taken from the Phillips Booklet, which is one of many booklets sold by the Ocean County Historical Society in Toms River, NJ. Richard Kuntz, the author of these booklets provided the following excerpts for me.
"Phillips Faniily Dover Twp.
This book in the Series "Families of Old Dover" will focus on the Phillips families that resided in Dover Township.
The 1773 Dover Township Tax Ratables contained the names: John and Thomas Phillips. The 1779 Ratables contained the names John, Thomas, and Joseph Phillips. The Monmouth County 1790 Freeholders List contained the name: Joseph Phillips resideing in Dover Twp. The 1793 Militia Census contained the names: Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, Richard, Andrew Phillips.
The following remark is taken from [ES - pg. xlv]
Ephraim Phillips was dec'd 1698. In the assment of taxes to Schrewsbury 1764, two John Phillips are named, one of which was in the Revolution and also Joseph Phillips. In surveys in Ocean County about the close of last century, and beginning of present, Thomas, Richard Sr., Richard Jr., and William G. Phillips took up land. Richard took up many tracts. In 1803, July 17th, Jacob Phillips married Rachel Ferguson by Daniel Stout of Goodluck.
The 1830 Census for Dover Township contained the following families:
1. Richard M: 1:5-10; 1:15-20, 1:40-50; F: 2:0-5, 1:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:40-50 T. 6
2. Witham M: 1:0-5, 2:5-10, 1:10-15, 1:30-40; F: 1:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:30-40 T. 8
3. Benjamin M: 1:20-30; F: 1:40-50 T. 3
4. Elizabeth M: 1:10-15, 1:20-30; F: 1:40-50 T. 3
5. William G. M: 1:0-5, 1:30-40; F: 2:0-5, 1:20-30 T. 5
The 1840 Census for Dover Township contained the following families:
1. Richard M: 1:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:15-20, 1:50-60; F: 20-5.11540, .2:1045, 1:40,50 .
2. William M: 1:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:15-20, 2:20-30, 1:40-50; F: 2: 0-5, 1:5-10, 1:15-20, 1:30-40
3. Jacob M:1:0-5, 1:20-30; F: 1:15-20
4. Richard M: 1:30-40; F: 2:0-5, 1:20-30, 1:50-60
5. Obediah M: 1-30-40; F: 1:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:10-15j, 1:30-40
6. John M: 1:20-30,.1:30-40; F: 1:10-15, 1:60-70
7. Jacob M: 1:0-5, 1:20-30; F: 1:0-5, 1:20-30 .
8. Thomas M: 1:0-5, 1:30-40; F: 2:0-5, 1:5-10, 1:20-30
Observation: It is possible that Jacob T. (1817), Obadiah (1800). and Richard (1814) are brothers. However, reviewing the 1830 and 1840 Census data for Dover Twp (given above), it is not possible to identify a household containing the three. Richard in 1830 and 1840 is the son of Richard (ca. 1740) mid Hannah. Elizabeth in 1830 is a candidate; but she has only two of the three in her household. However, She might be the female 50-60 in 4. Richard in 1840. More information is needed to clarify the relationships.
Consequently, the linkage between the Phillips family members listed immediately below is not available at this time. Each name will be presented in this document as the root for a family group, the family groups will be presented consecutively, and will be numbered accordingly.

The following is the index from the booklet that provides lineages. I have not seen the actual booklet, but this shows which children Mr. Kuntz assigned to which families. Since there is not much to work with in the original records, this is subjective. I do agree on most of Richard's children, with just a couple of differences due to some additional records that Mr. Kuntz may not have had and which are posted in FamilySearch as of 5 Aug 2022.:

1. Holocaust Yad Vashem website: https://yvng.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en&s_lastName=herzberg&s_firstName=leo&s_place=latvia accessed 8 Aug 2017:
"Lio Herzberg was born in Goldingen, Latvia in 1908 to Robert and Zofia. He was a clerk. Prior to WWII he lived in Goldingen, Latvia. During the war he was in Goldingen, Latvia. Lio was murdered in the Shoah. This information is based on a Page of Testimony submitted by his relative, Lea Zindel Shemin."
Note: I had an Israeli translate the relationship of Lea in the 1950s. He responds: "I looked at most of the POTs and it seems like this Lea is, or was, a relative. The word for relative (karov) is underlined in most of them at the end."
Update: Per email dated 28 Aug 2017 from Neomi May , whose mother has a part interest in the Robert Herzenberg building in Kuldigas:
"Unfortunately I can't add to the information about the Herzenberg family ... I only know that between May and Herzenberg families there existed a close friendship, especially between the young peaple.You should ask the Museum of the History of Kuldiga, maybe they can give you some more information. The only person, who would know about the relationship, was my father Leo May, but he died 2009, also unfortunately I have no one I could ask. My father told only that between May and Herzenberg families was a close friendship, but nothing about any relationship. It would be very interesting for me to learn more about Jewish families in Kuldiga ... If you would contact us 10 or 15 years ago, my father would have told you much more ... He loved his birth town very much and went every year to Kuldiga, there were a lot of memories. My Mother and I go every year for 5 or 6 weeks to Latvia. My mother is born in Riga.She survived as a refugee, but her parents were both killed in the Holocaust.My father told her a lot about his childhood in Kuldiga, showed her houses of friends and relatives too. We are actually in Kuldiga and my mother showed me the place where was the house of the Herzenberg family before. Unfortunately the house doesn't exist any more, only the place in the Jelgavas street. I am very sorry, that I am not able give you more information."
Noemi also mentioned in a 29 Aug 2017 email:
"Unfortunately I can't remember, whether my father ever mentioned Lea Zindel Shemin. I am very sorry. I suppose, that Lea wasn't in Kuldiga at that time, because there are some mistakes.
1) My grandfather Abram Adolf May, born in Sabile 1882, died before the WW2 in the year 1939.
2) His wife, my grandmother Thea (not Tecla !) May was born 1885 and killed at 11th December in Riga.
3) Their daughter Anna Hana May-Shenkman, the older sister of my father, was born 1915 (not 1916) and killed with her 1-year old son Abram and 82 year-old grandmother Fanny Berman in a forest near Kuldiga. One person on the page of this testimony is Leo Herzberg.
My father mentioned his name, maybe he was a schoolmate or friend, I can't remember."

If you contact the Hillston Library they have the whole Eade family documented, coupled with the book that his written on the family, many photographs as well. It is a wonderful family and many of the family are still in the district. Give the library a call, Lyn or Helen 69672 503

With the help of many of the List I have been able to piece together the story of the EADES...
Here is what I have found regarding the EADE family of Sussex, England, with a great deal of help from Listers, and lucky contact with a direct descendant.
George Eade was born in Sussex, England on 10th Mar 1857 to John Eade and Widow Ruth Eade (Daw nee Goreham).
George's father John had been married before and it appears that before the 1841 Census his wife (maybe Mary Ann), died leaving him with four children, Mary Ann b. 1831, Phoebe b. 1834 both in Westham, Sussex and Peter b.1836 and William b. 1839 both in Wivelsfield, Sussex.
In 1851 John Eade Widower aged 42 and his two sons Peter 15 and William 12, are living in Westham, Sussex and also at the same address was Ruth Daw, Housekeeper aged 31 and her four children Erman 11, Miriam 9, John 7, Sarah 3 and Robert 2 months.
On 10th March 1857 a son was born to John Eade and Ruth Daw (nee Goreham). In the June quarter of 1857 Widower John Eade and Widow Ruth Eade married, after the birth of their son George Eade.
In 1874 son of John and Ruth, George Eade with his girl friend Mary Ann Chapman, sailed from England and arrived in Moreton Bay in Queensland. I have found the arrival of a Mary Ann Chapman, aged 17 (correct age, born 1857 in Eastbourne, UK) arriving on board the "Ramsey" on 9th June 1874. George is on the ship, however he is not on the List of passengers on the Qld Immigration Website. Mary Ann was pregnant with their first child. The couple began to walk from Brisbane to New South Wales, on the way on 26th July 1874, before they reached the border John Thomas Eade was born and his birth is registered in Qld.
George Eade and Mary Ann Chapman married in 1877 at Tooragany and the marriage was registered in Hay NSW. George and Mary Ann Eade settled on land they purchased in Tooragany in the region of Booligal. The property later was called "Lilydale".
The following year George's father John 65 and his mother Ruth 54, sailed from England on board the "Northumberland" and arrived in Port Phillip Bay in Victoria in Nov 1875, joining the family in Booligal in NSW. I am not sure if any of the other children from the first Eade marriage and Ruth's Daw children immigrated.
John Thomas Eade, born in Qld in 1874 the son of George and Mary Ann, married Catherine Jane Davis on 12th March 1901 in Balranald NSW. Their eldest son Thomas Charles Eade, married Elsie G Johnson in 1926 in Hillston and I have been told by their daughter Irene, that her mother wrote a book about the journey that George Eade and Mary Ann Chapman made walking from Queensland with their baby son, John Thomas, to settle on their block of land in Tooragany. I am going to try and get a copy of this book, as I think it should be an interesting read.
The youngest child of John Thomas and Catherine Jane Eade (nee Davis) was Roy (Ray) Eade and he married Ellen (Helen) Mary Ann Keirnan or Kiernan in 1941. A big thank you to Fiona on the List, who went out of her way and visited the Griffith Cemetery and took photographs of Ray and Ellen's headstone and also of the Schaefer headstone of Glen Ronald Schaefer and Sarah Harriet Schaefer (nee Seaton), the maternal grandparents of my son in law."

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligulf accessed 3 Dec 2019:
"Ligulf (sometimes Liulf or Ligulf of Lumley; died 1080) was an Anglo-Danish nobleman with landholdings in the north of England.
Ligulf was married to Ealdgyth, the daughter of Ealdred the earl of Northumbria.[1] Ligulf's mother was a descendant of the earls of Bernicia.[citation needed] Ligulf was noted for his devotion to Saint Cuthbert.[2]
After the death of Waltheof in 1076, Ligulf was one of the last remaining noblemen in the north with ties to the house of Bamburgh, and he became one of the main advisors to Walcher, the Bishop of Durham. Two of Walcher's other advisors, Leobwin and Gilbert were opposed to Ligulf's advice.[1] According to John of Worcester, Leobwin took offence at the manner in which Ligulf replied to Leobwin's opposition to Ligulf's advice to the bishop.[3] In April or May 1080 they attacked Ligulf's house in the middle of the night and killed most of the household, including Ligulf.[1] The two men were aided by the bishop's own knights, although it is not clear if Walcher was involved in the plot or not.[4]
Ealdgyth survived Ligulf's death, as Walcher offered her a gift of land to settle the feud.[1] Walcher met Ligulf's surviving family at Gateshead and attempted to persuade them that the bishop had not been involved in the murder.[3] Ligulf's family did not believe the bishop and on 14 May 1080 Ligulf's partisans killed Walcher and his supporters at the parley.[1]
Ligulf and Ealdgyth had two sons – Morcar and Uhtred. Morcar became a monk at Jarrow. Uhtred may be the same as the Uhtred recorded in Domesday Book holding a manor at Rudston in Yorkshire as a tenant-in-chief of the king. Ligulf may also have had a daughter named Ragnald, as a "Ragnald, daughter of Ligulf" is recorded as granting lands to Fountains Abbey in the 1130s. She was married to Robert de Sarz.[1]

1. Humphri Bancroft shows up on an burial memorial in the St. Peter's Church in Chellaston in proximity to John Bancroft who died about 5 months after Humphri. They would be related, but how is uncertain. I have temporarily placed Humphri as a brother to John even though he is not listed with other siblings in Ralph's will. Ralph named his siblings, including John, in his 21 Apr 1557 will; however, there is no mention of Humphri - so the exact relationship is unproven even though one certainly exists. Humphri may have been the father of John and Ralph.

BURIAL:
1. From the website 1 Jan 2008 which is the website for the Chellaston Parish Church:
"Monumental inscriptions in St. Peter's Church, extracted from 'The History, Gazetteer, and Directory of the County of Derby,' Vol., II, Part I, by Stephen Glover, 1829: In the south asile of this church... is engraven [on an alabaster slab], the effigies of a man and his wife, in scroll lines. This is for Ralph Bancroft, and Alice, his wife, without date. Two others for the same family; the inscriptions on them are nearly obliterated:
Humphri Bancroft died Ano Dom. 23 April 1557; and Elizabeth, his wife, ...
John Bancroft died Ano. Dom. 13 Sep 1557; and Margaret, his wife,..."

The entire state was counted but only Pottawattamie listed everyone by name in the household and their ages; other counties only listed the head of the household and a numerical count without names of the various ages by sex in the household. No date is given when the census was taken but it was certified in Dec. 1851; however, the other counties show a Sep 1851 date which also appears more likely for Pottawattamie as well in light of ages given some children with known birthdays in October. Census return:

3. Descendant Karl Whittington indicates that the Mangum book cited below and other websites have an error by citing her name as "Amy Carline." Her correct name is Armelia Caroline Mangum. He indicates that his grandmother, Netie Beryl Bigler Bowers, wrote by hand and sent to Delta Hale back in 1954 information in response to her request for information. His grandmother was legally blind and her penmanship was just as bad; her response included both the spelling Carline and Caroline - Delta chose Carline given the equal choice. He indicates "Caroline" is correct. He has copies of the original correspondence.

BIOGRAPHY:
1. The book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, pp.32-33, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale: "Diary of Armelia C. Bigler a she wrote it: 'January 1, 1885. I (Armelia Caroline Mangum Bigler] was born March 21, 1834 at Pickens County, Alabama. Moved from there with my parents (Sarah and William Mangum) at the age of seven to the state of Mississippi, Itawamba County and in December 1845 was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by a Brother George Steward, confirmed by him and a Brother Gibbs. Started to Nauvoo about the 15th of January 1846 and arrived there about the 20th of March the same year. Stayed there one week and crossed the Mississippi River and traveled west. Sometimes camping one month at a place. Arrived at Mt. Pisgah (a settlement of Saints) the day the Father Huntington was buried, Sister Zina Young's father, and my baby brother was buried close to him in a few days. Stayed there four years and a half and moved to Council Bluffs. Stayed there one winter amd moved to a settlement on the Bongo River. Stayed there one winter; became acquainted with my husband, Jacob G. Bigler. Was sealed to him on February 12, 1852 by Ezra T. Benson. I was eighteen years old the next month. In June of the same year, crossed the Missouri River and started across the plains for Salt Lake City. On the 28th of June, my youngest sister died with cholera - age one year and eight months; there we left her lonely little grave. We traveled 15 days and buried my mother without a coffin. So many of the pioneers died, there was no coffin for her so they stripped the bark from a large tree. They dressed her in the best they had and with one strip of bark under her and one over, they joined both ends and dug a deep grave to protect her body from the wolves and buried her. She also died with cholera, was taken sick at night and was buried before nine o'clock the next morning. She left two children besides myself, one sister thirteen and a brother eleven years old. We arrived in Salt Lake City on September 23, 1852. Stayed there a few days and came on to Provo, and stopped there one week and my husband was called to settle Nephi and ordained to the office of Bishop there in October 1852. I was eighteen and seven months old. On January 16, 1854 my first child was born, Don M. Bigler my only son. I came near losing my life, but was restored through the power of God, and the second of April 1856 my first daughter was born, which only lived one month, taking the measles from me at two weeks old. Her name was Sarah M. Bigler. On the 17 of July 1857 my second daughter was born, Amy Armelia Bigler Grover. On April 6, 1861 my husband was called on a mission to England; and on the second of June, the same year, my third daughter was born, Caroline Eliza Bigler Grover. She was two and a half years old when her father retured. January twenty second my fourth daughter was born.'"

2. Quote about her husband's family: Bathsheba Bigler, sister of Jacob and the eventual fourth President of the General Relief Society, wrote about fleeing Nauvoo: "We left a comfortable home, the accumulations of four years of labor and thrift and took away with us only a few much needed articles such as clothing, bedding and provisions. We left everything else behind for our enemies. My last act in that precious spot was to tidy the rooms, sweep up the floor, and set the broom in its accustomed place behind the door. Then with emotions in my heart which I could not now pen… I gently closed the door and faced an unknown future…with faith in God." -Bathsheba Bigler 1826-1910. Note she had lost her father due to the Missouri persecutions. Two years later, on January 24, 1848, Henry Bigler, her cousin and a former member of the Mormon Battalion stationed at Sutter's Mill, recorded in his diary: "this day some kind of mettle was found in the rail race that looks like goald. First discovered by James Martial the Boss of the Mill." This started the Gold Rush to California. Bathsheba's sister Melissa becomes the grandmother to Joseph Fielding Smith.

3232 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I am having difficulty in resolving John against the two Sarahs reported in recent published sources. The problem lies in who is correctly reporting the baptismal and burial entries in the Kenilworth Parish Register in England. Consider the two following competing perspectives, both of which are very convincing. The first quote does not mention the baptism of the second Sarah nor the burial of the first Sarah, but it does include John who doesn't show up whatsoever in the second citation. If there were in fact two Sarahs, then the surviving one did in fact marry at age 15. The citations:
A. The booklet "The Griswold Family in England before 1639 - A Report of the Findings of Bonnie Boone Day Griswold and James Wells Griswold," 1984, Exeter, NH, copy in the library of the Windsor CT. Historical Society. The authors went to England to look up actual records. Quote from pp. 10-13:
"The search for hard facts about our direct Griswold ancestors in England has yielded information only on Edward. This we found in the Warwickshire County Records Library. Even this information is evidently not new because the names and accurate dates are given in Glen E. Griswold's Vol. II of the Griswold Family. But since he does not cite the source of his information, maybe the following will add a bit.
The above-mentioned library, located in Warwick, is well staffed and has a good catalog. However, the novice finds it confusing at the beginning. It takes several visits to learn how to use the available resources. We learned that there have been many visitors inquiring about he Griswolds.
Of great interest is the Kenilworth Parish Register. This is a leather-bound book, about 13 inches long and 5 inches wide. Originally it was a bound blank book with about 200 pages. Entries were made chronologically in ink in four sections: Baptisms (not births), Marriages, Burials, and finally in the back of the book, the 'Beneficences" of Lady Dudley of Kenilworth Castle to the members of the parish at the time of Christmas (read the book 'Kenilworth' by Scott). The librarian had to help us by translating archaic terms of some entries. The handwriting of the book changed from period to period indicating a different recorder. We are sorry to report that an earlier Griswold researcher had marked each of te relevant entries with a penciled X in the margin.
All the entries that relate to the family of Edward Griswold are listed below. Please note that even for the entries for the same family the spelling of the last name may be different.
In the section on Baptisms:
Sarah daughter of Edward Grissold was baptised Jan 29 1631.
George the sone of Edward Griswold was baptised may 19 1633.
Sarah the daughter of Edward Grissold and Margaret his wife was baptized Jan 10 1635.
Liddia the daughter of Edward Grissold and Marg-t his wife was baptised Dec 17 1637.
In the section for Burials:
Sarah the daughter of Edward Grissold was burried Dec 28 1634.
It is interesting to note tha the family names their second daughter Sarah in honor of her older sister who had died only two weeks before the second daughter was baptized.
These were the only references we could find that apply directly to our family, even though there were many other entries for other Griswold families.
It was exciting to hold this parish record book in our hands, but it was also frustrating to be so close to the facts we wanted and yet could not find. If the book could only talk, there would be so many answers to our questions."

B. The book "The Griswold Family, the First Five Generations in America," comp. and ed. by Esther Griswold French and Robert Lewis French, May 1990, printed by The Griswold Family Association, 116 Garden St., Wethersfield, CT, 06109, pages 6-24. The authors note that their book updates Vol. II, "The Griswold Family England - America," which was published 50 years ago. The following is a partial transcription regarding the children of Edward and Margaret of which the whole transcription can be seen in the notes of Edward Griswold:
"...Based on additional research, the order of birth and number of children of Edward and Margaret have been revised from that given in the earlier Griswold family genealogy. Kenilworth Parish Register entries show four children baptized there of which Lydia is the only one who did not come to this country, indicating she died as an infant in England. The first John died in 1642 in Windsor, Conn. The Kenilworth Parish Register begins with the year 1630 so no baptismal record has been found for Francis who was undoubtedly the oldest child, born about 1629 to have been married about 1652 at approximately 23 years of age. Sarah bp. Jan. 29, 1631/2 in Kenilworth is the logical one to have married in 1650. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary and the Kenilworth Parish Records refer to only one Sarah, born in England who came to Windsor with her parents in 1639. She would have been 18 years of age at the time of her marriage in 1650, not 15 nor 12 as has previously been asserted.
Children, first five born in Kenilworth, England, the rest in Windsor, Conn.:
Francis b. ca. 1629.
Sarah, bp. 29 Jan 1631/2.
George, bp. 19 May 1633.

2. FHL book 929.242 G868f "The Greswold Family, 12 Generations in England," researched and edited by Robert L. and Esther G. French, comp. by Coralee Griswold [Wethersfeld, CT; 1999]. The authors standardize spelling as Greswold for England and Griswold for America. As of 2012, it appears that this book is the most current evolution of the Griswold ancestry and includes all previous research up to 1999 when it was published. (It also supersedes the author's own work in 1990 for the later English generations). See notes in this database of the original Griswold for a more detailed explanation of the various sources and a bibliography of previously published books that the authors include in this genealogical compilation.
"Edward12 Griswold (George11, Roger10, John9, John8, John7, John6, John5, William4, Richard3, Ralph2, John1) was christened 26 Jul 1607 in Wooton Wawen, Warwickshire, England. In lieu of a will, Edward on Christmas Day, 1672, signed a conditional inheritance deed of his property to his son John, who was to pay certain legacies; but Edward did not die until 30 Aug 1691, in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, at the age of 84, and was buried in the Indian River Cemetery in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut. He married (1) Margaret (___) about 1628 in England. ["New England Genealogy," Vol. 1, p.250, cites her surname as HICKS, but the Robert Hicks family was already in Plymouth as of 1621. Records indicate Margaret and Edward were married in England after this date.] She was born about 1609. Margaret died 23 Aug 1670 in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, and was buried in the cemetery behind the Congregational Church, in Killingworth (now Clinton), Middlesex, Connecticut. Her stone being the oldest marked, "M.G., 1670."
When the Rev. Ephraim Huit arrived in Windsor, Connecticut with his congregation about 17 Aug 1639 to assist the Rev. John Warham, Edward and Margaret Griswold, their four children: Francis, George, John and Sarah; and Edward's brother Matthew, were with the company. ["Savage's Genealogical Dictionary," Vol. 2, p. 316.] In his own deposition, dated 15 May 1684, Edward stated that he was then aged about seventy-seven years and that, "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponsor] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." [Ferris, "Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines"; Gates & Allied Families; Vol. II; p. 399.] Mr. Huit had been pastor at Knowle and Wroxall, Warwickshire, England. A writer of note upon religious subjects and a powerful preacher of the Puritan faith, he was censured for his non-conformity and silenced by the Bishop of Worcester. This no doubt was the cause of his moving to New England with the company he organized, of which both Edward and Matthew were members.
Edward speedily became prominent in the affairs of the new community and was frequently mentioned in colonial records. He served as deputy to the General Court from 18 Aug 1658 to 14 Mar 1660 and again from 15 May 1662 to 11 Mar 1663. Edward served repeatedly on juries, at least two of which, in 1651 and 1662, deliberated on witchcraft cases and brought in verdicts of guilty. In 1659 he was one of the men from Windsor to build the fort at Springfield for Mr. Pynchon. He also served as Justice of the Peace.
Although he was granted land at Poquonoc he did not move there until after the title of the Indians had been fully extinguished in 1642. He was resident there in 1649 with two other families, John Bartlett and Thomas Holcomb. His home stood near the highway at the top of the hill, and contained 29-1/2 acres bounded mostly south and west by Stony Brook and east by the river. His sons George and Joseph received the homestead when he moved to Hammonassett in 1663 with his son John and two daughters, Hannah Westover and Deborah Buell, with their families.
The present Clinton, Connecticut is the original Killingworth; Main Street is the identical ground where the first settlers took their home lots. These were surveyed in 1663 by Byron Rossiter of Guiliford. Edward was one of the first settlers and doubtless suggested the name from Kenilworth Parish in England. He was the most prominent man in the new settlement and must be given full credit for first organizing this community. He was its first deputy to the General Court. He, with his two sons-in-law, were recorded as freeman in 1669.
Edward was instrumental in organizing the first church and was its first deacon. He frequently served on important civil matters; his services, counsel and guidance evidently much sought. He also served on the committee to establish a Latin school at New London.
Ancient land records on file at the office of the Secretary of State, Hartford, show land grants in favor of Edward: one of 200 acres; another of 100 acres given by the town of Killingworth. He showed the spirit of those early English settlers to accumulate large land holdings. They had 11 children:
i. Francis Griswold [male], born about 1629, died 1 Oct 1671.
ii. Sarah Griswold, christened 29 Jan 1631, died 6 Nov 1715.
iii. George Griswold, christened 19 May 1633, died 3 Sep 1704.
iv. John Griswold, christened 10 Jan 1635 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, died 1642 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
v. Lydia/Liddia Griswold, christened 17 Nov 1637 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, died about 1637 in England, and was buried 1637 in England.
vi. Ann (Hannah) Griswold, christened 19 Jun 1642, died 3 May 1714.
vii. Mary Griswold, born 5 Oct 1644, died 1690.
viii. Deborah Griswold, christened 28 Jun 1646, died 7 Feb 1717.
ix. Joseph Griswold, born 12 Mar 1647, died 14 Nov 1716.
x. Samuel Griswold, christened 18 Nov 1649 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, died 6 Jul 1672 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
xi. John Griswold, christened 1 Aug 1652, died 7 Aug 1717.
Edward had 1 stepchild:
xii. Mary Bemis, born 18 Nov 1654, died 27 Oct 1679.
Edward married (2) Sarah Diamond before 25 Dec 1672. She was born about 1632 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. She was the daughter of John Diamond and Rebecca (___). No children. Sarah also married (1) John Bemis."

3. From the book "The Griswold Family," by Edward Elbridge Salisbury, privately published 1884, copy in Windsor, Conn. Historical Society Library, pp. 8-10:
"[Edward] was twice married; first, in England, to Margaret ___, who died 23 Aug 1670. ('Her gravestone stands in the Clinton Congregational Burying Ground, with the letters M.G., and is called the oldest monument.') and secondly, in 1672 or 1673, to the widow of James Bemis of New London. 'Before coming to Windsor he had Francis, George, John, and Sarah, probably all born in England, and he had at Windsor; three sons and three daughters - all, as appears by their days of birth or baptism recorded at Windsor, by his first marriage...
Edward's third son, John, who was born in England, died in 1642; but he had another son of the same name, born in Windsor in 1652, whose grandson Josiah (son of Daniel, b. 1696) was the maternal grandfather of Hon. William H. Buell, now of Clinton, Conn. A daughter of Edward Griswold, Deborah (b. 1646), who married Samuel Buell in 1662, 'was the ancestral mother of all the Buells in Killingworth (Clinton), all the Buells east of Connecticut River, and nearly all of Litchfield, Conn.' Her husband was the great-grandfather in the fourth degree of Hon. W.H. Buell, so that the latter is descended on both sides from Edward Griswold of Killingworth. Edward Griswold's son John, (b.1652) had a son Samuel (b. 1685), whose daughter was the 'Mary, daughter of Samuel Griswold Esq. of Killingworth,' who married, in 1739, Elihu son of Rev. Nathaniel Chauncey of Durham, Conn., and was the mother of the late Judge Chauncey of New Haven. (See Memorials of the Chaunceys, by Wm. Chauncey Fowler, Boston, 1858, pp. 112-13.)"

4. The book "The Ancestry of Allen Grinnell Cleaver and Martha Irene Jessup," by William Jessup Cleaver (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc., 1989), pp. 486-90, 494-95:
"1. EDWARD GRISWOLD, son of George and Dousabell--, was baptized 26 July 1607 in Wooten Wawen, a chapelry of Henley in Warwickshire, England. He married in England Margaret-- and they emigrated to New England in 1639 with perhaps six children and his younger brother Matthew. Margaret died in Killingsworth, Connecticut 23 August 1670. Her gravestone marked "M. G. 1670" is the oldest in the cemetery. Edward married, second, in 1672/3 Sarah (--) Bemis, widow of James Bemis of New London. Edward may be buried in the empty space beside Margaret's stone in Clinton. He died in 1691 in his 84th year. (1)(4)(15)
In a deposition dated 5 May 1684, Edward Griswold stated that he was about sixty-seven years old and that "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponser] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." He was to act as agent for Whiting in collecting £200 from a Mr. John St. Nicholas who was expected to soon be in Windsor. The Rev. Ephraim Huet of Wroxall near Kenilworth, though an eminent preacher and writer of the Puritan faith; had b6en persecuted as a non-conformist by Archbishop Laud. He emigrated with a party which undoubtedly included the Griswolds, arriving in Windsor, Connecticut 17 August 1639. Huet became the first teacher in the church there. Edward received his first share of lands at Windsor in January 1640/41. In 1642 title to Poquonack-about four miles away -- had been cleared with the Indians and a few families including the Griswolds moved there and Edward had a corner lot of twenty-nine acres bounded by Stony Creek on both the south and the west. This settlement seemed so remote to the General Court that in September of 1649 in consideration of the exposure of so many dangers it freed one "souldger" from each family from attendance on each training-day requiring that he who "tarryes at home, stands about the aforesaid howses uppon his sentinel posture." (4)(5)(15)
Edward was deputy from Windsor to the General Court (legislature) from 1656 until the charter was received from King Charles II in 1662/3 -- except for one session. He later represented Killingsworth almost continuously from 1667 to 1689 and he was Judge at Killingsworth from 1667 through 1677. (7)
In 1659 William Pyncheon contracted Edward Griswold to build "Old Fort," a mansion for the Pyncheon family on Main Street in Springfield in the Bay Colony. The building stood sixty or seventy-five feet back from the street, was forty-two feet long, twenty-one feet wide and was twenty-two feet from the ground to the eaves and the same distance perpendicular from the eaves to the ridge beams -- a very steep roof. The walls were red Long Meadow stone and bricks made in Northampton. The brick walls were over two feet thick on the first floor and half that on the second story. Eight by ten oak timbers supported the roof. Edward Griswold was paid €40 for the construction including both the stonework and the brickwork. A future son-in-law, Samuel Buel, prepared the hewn logs. On 5 October 1675 when Springfield was attacked and burned by the Indians, the house was one of three fortified houses. The building stood until 1831 and until 1800 was the only brick building in Springfield. Major Pyncheon held Court in one of the lower rooms and records were stored in a space above the porch. (4)(17)
In March-1663 the General Court appointed a committee to view Hamonoscett to ascertain if it would be a fit location for a new settlement or plantation. The second report of the committee which had decided in favor of the location and that it would support thirty families included Edward Griswold's name as one of the first settlers. He was then age sixty-four. The settlement was called Kenilworth (later corrupted to Killingsworth) as a courtesy to Edward's memory of his home in England. It was specified that each settler was to stay four years -- and to build within two years. Edward deeded his lands in Windsor to his older sons, reserving a small annuity for himself, and moved in 1663. The new town was first represented on the General Court in May of 1667 and Edward Griswold was its first Deputy. He was Deacon of the First Church, as well, and Commissioner (Justice) for more than sixteen years. At this same time his son Francis sat on the General Court representing Norwich and his younger brother, Matthew, was Deputy from Lyme. Only two men, including Edward, were accorded the prefix "Mr." on the 1669 list of Freeman. He was involved with laying out land for other plantations, arranging roads and bridges and their upkeep and establishing a Latin School at New London. The General Court in appreciation granted him two hundred acres of land in 1674, laid out at the north end of the "Lyme bounds," and the town of Killings-worth followed suit with a one hundred acre grant. (4)(6)(7)
Rather than a will he signed a conditional inheritance deed on Christmas day 1672 -- nineteen years before his death. John Griswold was to receive all the property out of which he paid certain legacies. He had, in the spirit of most .colonists, accumulated considerable land. (4)(8)

These were the only references we could find that apply directly to our family, even though there were many other entries for other Griswold families.
It was exciting to hold this parish record book in our hands, but it was also frustrating to be so close to the facts we wanted and yet could not find. If the book could only talk, there would be so many answers to our questions."

The authors note that their book updates Vol. II, "The Griswold Family England - America," which was published 50 years ago. The following is a partial transcription regarding the children of Edward and Margaret of which the whole transcription can be seen in the notes of Edward Griswold:
"...Based on additional research, the order of birth and number of children of Edward and Margaret have been revised from that given in the earlier Griswold family genealogy. Kenilworth Parish Register entries show four children baptized there of which Lydia is the only one who did not come to this country, indicating she died as an infant in England. The first John died in 1642 in Windsor, Conn. The Kenilworth Parish Register begins with the year 1630 so no baptismal record has been found for Francis who was undoubtedly the oldest child, born about 1629 to have been married about 1652 at approximately 23 year of age. Sarah bp. Jan. 29, 1631/2 in Kenilworth is the logical one to have married in 1650. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary and the Kenilworth Parish Records refer to only one Sarah, born in England who came to Windsor with her parents in 1639. She would have been 18 years of age at the time of her marriage in 1650, not 15 nor 12 as has previously been asserted.

2. FHL book 929.242 G868f "The Greswold Family, 12 Generations in England," researched and edited by Robert L. and Esther G. French, comp. by Coralee Griswold [Wethersfeld, CT; 1999]. The authors standardize spelling as Greswold for England and Griswold for America. As of 2012, it appears that this book is the most current evolution of the Griswold ancestry and includes all previous research up to 1999 when it was published. (It also supersedes the author's own work in 1990 for the later English generations). See notes in this database of the original Griswold for a more detailed explanation of the various sources and a bibliography of previously published books that the authors include in this genealogical compilation.
"Edward12 Griswold (George11, Roger10, John9, John8, John7, John6, John5, William4, Richard3, Ralph2, John1) was christened 26 Jul 1607 in Wooton Wawen, Warwickshire, England. In lieu of a will, Edward on Christmas Day, 1672, signed a conditional inheritance deed of his property to his son John, who was to pay certain legacies; but Edward did not die until 30 Aug 1691, in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, at the age of 84, and was buried in the Indian River Cemetery in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut. He married (1) Margaret (___) about 1628 in England. ["New England Genealogy," Vol. 1, p.250, cites her surname as HICKS, but the Robert Hicks family was already in Plymouth as of 1621. Records indicate Margaret and Edward were married in England after this date.] She was born about 1609. Margaret died 23 Aug 1670 in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, and was buried in the cemetery behind the Congregational Church, in Killingworth (now Clinton), Middlesex, Connecticut. Her stone being the oldest marked, "M.G., 1670."
When the Rev. Ephraim Huit arrived in Windsor, Connecticut with his congregation about 17 Aug 1639 to assist the Rev. John Warham, Edward and Margaret Griswold, their four children: Francis, George, John and Sarah; and Edward's brother Matthew, were with the company. ["Savage's Genealogical Dictionary," Vol. 2, p. 316.] In his own deposition, dated 15 May 1684, Edward stated that he was then aged about seventy-seven years and that, "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponsor] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." [Ferris, "Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines"; Gates & Allied Families; Vol. II; p. 399.] Mr. Huit had been pastor at Knowle and Wroxall, Warwickshire, England. A writer of note upon religious subjects and a powerful preacher of the Puritan faith, he was censured for his non-conformity and silenced by the Bishop of Worcester. This no doubt was the cause of his moving to New England with the company he organized, of which both Edward and Matthew were members.
Edward speedily became prominent in the affairs of the new community and was frequently mentioned in colonial records. He served as deputy to the General Court from 18 Aug 1658 to 14 Mar 1660 and again from 15 May 1662 to 11 Mar 1663. Edward served repeatedly on juries, at least two of which, in 1651 and 1662, deliberated on witchcraft cases and brought in verdicts of guilty. In 1659 he was one of the men from Windsor to build the fort at Springfield for Mr. Pynchon. He also served as Justice of the Peace.
Although he was granted land at Poquonoc he did not move there until after the title of the Indians had been fully extinguished in 1642. He was resident there in 1649 with two other families, John Bartlett and Thomas Holcomb. His home stood near the highway at the top of the hill, and contained 29-1/2 acres bounded mostly south and west by Stony Brook and east by the river. His sons George and Joseph received the homestead when he moved to Hammonassett in 1663 with his son John and two daughters, Hannah Westover and Deborah Buell, with their families.
The present Clinton, Connecticut is the original Killingworth; Main Street is the identical ground where the first settlers took their home lots. These were surveyed in 1663 by Byron Rossiter of Guiliford. Edward was one of the first settlers and doubtless suggested the name from Kenilworth Parish in England. He was the most prominent man in the new settlement and must be given full credit for first organizing this community. He was its first deputy to the General Court. He, with his two sons-in-law, were recorded as freeman in 1669.
Edward was instrumental in organizing the first church and was its first deacon. He frequently served on important civil matters; his services, counsel and guidance evidently much sought. He also served on the committee to establish a Latin school at New London.
Ancient land records on file at the office of the Secretary of State, Hartford, show land grants in favor of Edward: one of 200 acres; another of 100 acres given by the town of Killingworth. He showed the spirit of those early English settlers to accumulate large land holdings. They had 11 children:
i. Francis Griswold [male], born about 1629, died 1 Oct 1671.
ii. Sarah Griswold, christened 29 Jan 1631, died 6 Nov 1715.
iii. George Griswold, christened 19 May 1633, died 3 Sep 1704.
iv. John Griswold, christened 10 Jan 1635 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, died 1642 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
v. Lydia/Liddia Griswold, christened 17 Nov 1637 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, died about 1637 in England, and was buried 1637 in England.
vi. Ann (Hannah) Griswold, christened 19 Jun 1642, died 3 May 1714.
vii. Mary Griswold, born 5 Oct 1644, died 1690.
viii. Deborah Griswold, christened 28 Jun 1646, died 7 Feb 1717.
ix. Joseph Griswold, born 12 Mar 1647, died 14 Nov 1716.
x. Samuel Griswold, christened 18 Nov 1649 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, died 6 Jul 1672 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
xi. John Griswold, christened 1 Aug 1652, died 7 Aug 1717.
Edward had 1 stepchild:
xii. Mary Bemis, born 18 Nov 1654, died 27 Oct 1679.
Edward married (2) Sarah Diamond before 25 Dec 1672. She was born about 1632 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. She was the daughter of John Diamond and Rebecca (___). No children. Sarah also married (1) John Bemis."

3. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 248-49:
"EDWARD GRISWOLD (GEORGEA, HENRYB) was born circa 1607 in Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and died in 1691 in Killingworth, CT. He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:
I Sarah2, b. 1631: d. soon, prob. at Kenilworth, Eng.

"1. EDWARD GRISWOLD, son of George and Dousabell--, was baptized 26 July 1607 in Wooten Wawen, a chapelry of Henley in Warwickshire, England. He married in England Margaret-- and they emigrated to New England in 1639 with perhaps six children and his younger brother Matthew. Margaret died in Killingsworth, Connecticut 23 August 1670. Her gravestone marked "M. G. 1670" is the oldest in the cemetery. Edward married, second, in 1672/3 Sarah (--) Bemis, widow of James Bemis of New London. Edward may be buried in the empty space beside Margaret's stone in Clinton. He died in 1691 in his 84th year. (1)(4)(15)
In a deposition dated 5 May 1684, Edward Griswold stated that he was about sixty-seven years old and that "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponser] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." He was to act as agent for Whiting in collecting £200 from a Mr. John St. Nicholas who was expected to soon be in Windsor. The Rev. Ephraim Huet of Wroxall near Kenilworth, though an eminent preacher and writer of the Puritan faith; had b6en persecuted as a non-conformist by Archbishop Laud. He emigrated with a party which undoubtedly included the Griswolds, arriving in Windsor, Connecticut 17 August 1639. Huet became the first teacher in the church there. Edward received his first share of lands at Windsor in January 1640/41. In 1642 title to Poquonack-about four miles away -- had been cleared with the Indians and a few families including the Griswolds moved there and Edward had a corner lot of twenty-nine acres bounded by Stony Creek on both the south and the west. This settlement seemed so remote to the General Court that in September of 1649 in consideration of the exposure of so many dangers it freed one "souldger" from each family from attendance on each training-day requiring that he who "tarryes at home, stands about the aforesaid howses uppon his sentinel posture." (4)(5)(15)
Edward was deputy from Windsor to the General Court (legislature) from 1656 until the charter was received from King Charles II in 1662/3 -- except for one session. He later represented Killingsworth almost continuously from 1667 to 1689 and he was Judge at Killingsworth from 1667 through 1677. (7)
In 1659 William Pyncheon contracted Edward Griswold to build "Old Fort," a mansion for the Pyncheon family on Main Street in Springfield in the Bay Colony. The building stood sixty or seventy-five feet back from the street, was forty-two feet long, twenty-one feet wide and was twenty-two feet from the ground to the eaves and the same distance perpendicular from the eaves to the ridge beams -- a very steep roof. The walls were red Long Meadow stone and bricks made in Northampton. The brick walls were over two feet thick on the first floor and half that on the second story. Eight by ten oak timbers supported the roof. Edward Griswold was paid €40 for the construction including both the stonework and the brickwork. A future son-in-law, Samuel Buel, prepared the hewn logs. On 5 October 1675 when Springfield was attacked and burned by the Indians, the house was one of three fortified houses. The building stood until 1831 and until 1800 was the only brick building in Springfield. Major Pyncheon held Court in one of the lower rooms and records were stored in a space above the porch. (4)(17)
In March-1663 the General Court appointed a committee to view Hamonoscett to ascertain if it would be a fit location for a new settlement or plantation. The second report of the committee which had decided in favor of the location and that it would support thirty families included Edward Griswold's name as one of the first settlers. He was then age sixty-four. The settlement was called Kenilworth (later corrupted to Killingsworth) as a courtesy to Edward's memory of his home in England. It was specified that each settler was to stay four years -- and to build within two years. Edward deeded his lands in Windsor to his older sons, reserving a small annuity for himself, and moved in 1663. The new town was first represented on the General Court in May of 1667 and Edward Griswold was its first Deputy. He was Deacon of the First Church, as well, and Commissioner (Justice) for more than sixteen years. At this same time his son Francis sat on the General Court representing Norwich and his younger brother, Matthew, was Deputy from Lyme. Only two men, including Edward, were accorded the prefix "Mr." on the 1669 list of Freeman. He was involved with laying out land for other plantations, arranging roads and bridges and their upkeep and establishing a Latin School at New London. The General Court in appreciation granted him two hundred acres of land in 1674, laid out at the north end of the "Lyme bounds," and the town of Killings-worth followed suit with a one hundred acre grant. (4)(6)(7)
Rather than a will he signed a conditional inheritance deed on Christmas day 1672 -- nineteen years before his death. John Griswold was to receive all the property out of which he paid certain legacies. He had, in the spirit of most .colonists, accumulated considerable land. (4)(8)

ACTION:
1. Look up Kenilworth Parish Registers to resolve the conflict per the notes given above for Sarah and John Griswold. 		Griswold, Sarah (I2129)
 
3234 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I am having difficulty in resolving this Sarah against the published sources. The problem lies in who is correctly reporting the baptismal and burial entries in the Kenilworth Parish Register in England. Consider the two following competing perspectives, both of which are very convincing. The first quote does not mention the baptism of the second Sarah nor the burial of the first Sarah, but it does include a John who doesn't show up whatsoever in the second citation. If there were in fact two Sarahs, then the surviving one did in fact marry at age 15. The citations:
A. The booklet "The Griswold Family in England before 1639 - A Report of the Findings of Bonnie Boone Day Griswold and James Wells Griswold," 1984, Exeter, NH, copy in the library of the Windsor CT. Historical Society. The authors went to England to look up actual records. Quote from pp. 10-13:
"The search for hard facts about our direct Griswold ancestors in England has yielded information only on Edward. This we found in the Warwickshire County Records Library. Even this information is evidently not new because the names and accurate dates are given in Glen E. Griswold's Vol. II of the Griswold Family. But since he does not cite the source of his information, maybe the following will add a bit.
The above-mentioned library, located in Warwick, is well staffed and has a good catalog. However, the novice finds it confusing at the beginning. It takes several visits to learn how to use the available resources. We learned that there have been many visitors inquiring about he Griswolds.
Of great interest is the Kenilworth Parish Register. This is a leather-bound book, about 13 inches long and 5 inches wide. Originally it was a bound blank book with about 200 pages. Entries were made chronologically in ink in four sections: Baptisms (not births), Marriages, Burials, and finally in the back of the book, the 'Beneficences" of Lady Dudley of Kenilworth Castle to the members of the parish at the time of Christmas (read the book 'Kenilworth' by Scott). The librarian had to help us by translating archaic terms of some entries. The handwriting of the book changed from period to period indicating a different recorder. We are sorry to report that an earlier Griswold researcher had marked each of te relevant entries with a penciled X in the margin.
All the entries that relate to the family of Edward Griswold are listed below. Please note that even for the entries for the same family the spelling of the last name may be different.
In the section on Baptisms:
Sarah daughter of Edward Grissold was baptised Jan 29 1631.
George the sone of Edward Griswold was baptised may 19 1633.
Sarah the daughter of Edward Grissold and Margaret his wife was baptized Jan 10 1635.
Liddia the daughter of Edward Grissold and Marg-t his wife was baptised Dec 17 1637.
In the section for Burials:
Sarah the daughter of Edward Grissold was burried Dec 28 1634.
It is interesting to note tha the family names their second daughter Sarah in honor of her older sister who had died only two weeks before the second daughter was baptized.
These were the only references we could find that apply directly to our family, even though there were many other entries for other Griswold families.
It was exciting to hold this parish record book in our hands, but it was also frustrating to be so close to the facts we wanted and yet could not find. If the book could only talk, there would be so many answers to our questions."

Kenilworth Parish Register entries show four children baptized there of which Lydia is the only one who did not come to this country, indicating she died as an infant in England. The first John died in 1642 in Windsor, Conn. The Kenilworth Parish Register begins with the year 1630 so no baptismal record has been found for Francis who was undoubtedly the oldest child, born about 1629 to have been married about 1652 at approximately 23 year of age. Sarah bp. Jan. 29, 1631/2 in Kenilworth is the logical one to have married in 1650. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary and the Kenilworth Parish Records refer to only one Sarah, born in England who came to Windsor with her parents in 1639. She would have been 18 years of age at the time of her marriage in 1650, not 15 nor 12 as has previously been asserted.
Children, first five born in Kenilworth, England, the rest in Windsor, Conn.:
Francis b. ca. 1629.
Sarah, bp. 29 Jan 1631/2.
George, bp. 19 May 1633.
John, bp. 10 Jan 1635/6; d. 1642 Windsor, Conn.

2. FHL book 929.242 G868f "The Greswold Family, 12 Generations in England," researched and edited by Robert L. and Esther G. French, comp. by Coralee Griswold [Wethersfeld, CT; 1999]. The authors standardize spelling as Greswold for England and Griswold for America. As of 2012, it appears that this book is the most current evolution of the Griswold ancestry and includes all previous research up to 1999 when it was published. (It also supersedes the author's own work in 1990 for the later English generations). See notes in this database of the original Griswold for a more detailed explanation of the various sources and a bibliography of previously published books that the authors include in this genealogical compilation.
"Edward12 Griswold (George11, Roger10, John9, John8, John7, John6, John5, William4, Richard3, Ralph2, John1) was christened 26 Jul 1607 in Wooton Wawen, Warwickshire, England. In lieu of a will, Edward on Christmas Day, 1672, signed a conditional inheritance deed of his property to his son John, who was to pay certain legacies; but Edward did not die until 30 Aug 1691, in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, at the age of 84, and was buried in the Indian River Cemetery in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut. He married (1) Margaret (___) about 1628 in England. ["New England Genealogy," Vol. 1, p.250, cites her surname as HICKS, but the Robert Hicks family was already in Plymouth as of 1621. Records indicate Margaret and Edward were married in England after this date.] She was born about 1609. Margaret died 23 Aug 1670 in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut, and was buried in the cemetery behind the Congregational Church, in Killingworth (now Clinton), Middlesex, Connecticut. Her stone being the oldest marked, "M.G., 1670."
When the Rev. Ephraim Huit arrived in Windsor, Connecticut with his congregation about 17 Aug 1639 to assist the Rev. John Warham, Edward and Margaret Griswold, their four children: Francis, George, John and Sarah; and Edward's brother Matthew, were with the company. ["Savage's Genealogical Dictionary," Vol. 2, p. 316.] In his own deposition, dated 15 May 1684, Edward stated that he was then aged about seventy-seven years and that, "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponsor] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." [Ferris, "Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines"; Gates & Allied Families; Vol. II; p. 399.] Mr. Huit had been pastor at Knowle and Wroxall, Warwickshire, England. A writer of note upon religious subjects and a powerful preacher of the Puritan faith, he was censured for his non-conformity and silenced by the Bishop of Worcester. This no doubt was the cause of his moving to New England with the company he organized, of which both Edward and Matthew were members.
Edward speedily became prominent in the affairs of the new community and was frequently mentioned in colonial records. He served as deputy to the General Court from 18 Aug 1658 to 14 Mar 1660 and again from 15 May 1662 to 11 Mar 1663. Edward served repeatedly on juries, at least two of which, in 1651 and 1662, deliberated on witchcraft cases and brought in verdicts of guilty. In 1659 he was one of the men from Windsor to build the fort at Springfield for Mr. Pynchon. He also served as Justice of the Peace.
Although he was granted land at Poquonoc he did not move there until after the title of the Indians had been fully extinguished in 1642. He was resident there in 1649 with two other families, John Bartlett and Thomas Holcomb. His home stood near the highway at the top of the hill, and contained 29-1/2 acres bounded mostly south and west by Stony Brook and east by the river. His sons George and Joseph received the homestead when he moved to Hammonassett in 1663 with his son John and two daughters, Hannah Westover and Deborah Buell, with their families.
The present Clinton, Connecticut is the original Killingworth; Main Street is the identical ground where the first settlers took their home lots. These were surveyed in 1663 by Byron Rossiter of Guiliford. Edward was one of the first settlers and doubtless suggested the name from Kenilworth Parish in England. He was the most prominent man in the new settlement and must be given full credit for first organizing this community. He was its first deputy to the General Court. He, with his two sons-in-law, were recorded as freeman in 1669.
Edward was instrumental in organizing the first church and was its first deacon. He frequently served on important civil matters; his services, counsel and guidance evidently much sought. He also served on the committee to establish a Latin school at New London.
Ancient land records on file at the office of the Secretary of State, Hartford, show land grants in favor of Edward: one of 200 acres; another of 100 acres given by the town of Killingworth. He showed the spirit of those early English settlers to accumulate large land holdings. They had 11 children:
i. Francis Griswold [male], born about 1629, died 1 Oct 1671.
ii. Sarah Griswold, christened 29 Jan 1631, died 6 Nov 1715.
iii. George Griswold, christened 19 May 1633, died 3 Sep 1704.
iv. John Griswold, christened 10 Jan 1635 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, died 1642 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
v. Lydia/Liddia Griswold, christened 17 Nov 1637 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, died about 1637 in England, and was buried 1637 in England.
vi. Ann (Hannah) Griswold, christened 19 Jun 1642, died 3 May 1714.
vii. Mary Griswold, born 5 Oct 1644, died 1690.
viii. Deborah Griswold, christened 28 Jun 1646, died 7 Feb 1717.
ix. Joseph Griswold, born 12 Mar 1647, died 14 Nov 1716.
x. Samuel Griswold, christened 18 Nov 1649 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, died 6 Jul 1672 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.
xi. John Griswold, christened 1 Aug 1652, died 7 Aug 1717.
Edward had 1 stepchild:
xii. Mary Bemis, born 18 Nov 1654, died 27 Oct 1679.
Edward married (2) Sarah Diamond before 25 Dec 1672. She was born about 1632 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. She was the daughter of John Diamond and Rebecca (___). No children. Sarah also married (1) John Bemis."

The authors note that their book updates Vol. II, "The Griswold Family England - America," which was published 50 years ago:
"Sarah (dau. of Edward) bp. Kenilworth Parish, England 29 Jan 1631/2. She married (1) at Windsor, Conn. 10 Nov 1650 Samuel Phelps b. 1625, d. 15 May 1669, son of William Phelps and his first wife, Elizabeth.
William Phelps, his wife and their six children came to Dorchester in 1630 on the "Mary and John," the first ship of the Winthrop Fleet which brought 1500 Puritans to Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Samuel and Sarah settled at Poquonoc where he had a grant of land. He assisted in building the Old Fort at Springfield, Mass. His will, Hartford Probate III:65, Manwaring I:225, mentions Sarah, widow, and Children: Samuel, Sarah, Timothy, Mary, William, John, Ephraim, Abigail and Josiah.
Sarah m. (2) in Windsor, 21 Jul 1670, Nathaniel Pinney, son of Humphrey from Dorchester, Mass. who became one of the first settlers of Windsor. Nathaniel was born Dec. 1640 at Windsor and died there 7 Aug 1676. He was mentioned in town records 15 Feb 1668/9 for payment for two years 'setting in the yeard,' which meant doing guard of sentinal duty in the meeting house yard during divine services. He was presented for freemanship 9 May 1667 and took the oath 10 Oct 1667. The tax list for 1675 showed that he had a family and a horse. His estate, Manwaring I:225 with inventory dated 4 Sep 1676 mentions Sarah, widow; Children: Nathaniel age 5 and Sarah age 3.
The assertion that Sarah married a third time has been disproved by the will of Sarah Pinney dated 13 Jun 1711 with inventory taken 26 Dec 1715 quoted in Manwaring II:421 from Hartford probate records IX:50-1. She states she is aged and weak; gives to her four daughters Sarah Moore, Mary Addams, Abigail Winchell and Sarah Grant wife to Thomas Grant her property to be divided equally between them; and appoints her brother Ensign Joseph Griswold, and Sergt. Benajah Holcomb executors. When the will was proved 7 Feb 1715/16 the executors declined the trust and the court appointed Benjamin Addams of Simsbury administrator. She died 6 Nov 1715 according to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, III:439.

"William Phelps, b. England, about 1620, emigrated to New England with his father, arriving in Massachusetts Bay 30th May, 1630, settled in Dorcheser with his father, removing from there to the settling of Windsor, with Rev. Mr. Warham's church, in 1635, where he m. Isabel Wilson, 4th June, 1645, (another authority says 16th June 1645 - the first may be publication of marriage.) She was probably a passenger in the ship Mary and John, of 1630. Says the O.C.R., '15th July, 1674, now since 29 years married and has no children.'
She was admitted to the church in Windsor, 11th March, 1654, and died July, 1674, without issue. He m. 2nd, 20th Dec., 1676, Sarah Pinney, (the daughter of Humphrey Pinney and his wife, Mary Hull, who were passengers in the ship Mary and John of 1630,) b. Windsor, 19th Nov., bapt. 3rd Dec., 1648, d. 2nd Nov., 1711.
Mr. Phelps settled one-third of his property on her, before marriage. By her he had no issue.
Mr. Phelps's residence in Windsor was a short distance east of his father's homestead, and on land purchased by his father from the Indians. He united with the church 17th Nov., 1639, and was made a freeman at Hartford 29th May, 1677.
His nuncupative will, dated 7th Feb. 1681, gives all his land to his borther Timothy. He died 10th Feb., 1681.
Mr. Phelps was a worthy man, though not as consipicuous a figure as compared with his father.
Mr. Phelps's house was garrisoned in King Philip's war, 1675-1676, by details of Windsor men. He had one of his wife's nephews reside with him, and possibly adopted him, and gave him lands on the opposite side ofthe road from his own house.
After the death of Mr. Phelps there was a controversy between Mrs. Phelps and adopted son, in connection with the land given her by Mr. Phelps before marriage.
(Note - Humphrey Pinney had several children; of these Sarah m. referred to above, Mary m. Abraham Phelps, son of George, Nathaniel m. widow of Samuel Phelps.)"

6. Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, pp. 346-353:
"Edward, born in Eng. about 1607; m. (1) 1630, in Eng., Margaret ___, who died 23 Aug 1670; her gravestone, inscribed "M.G., 1670,' is known as the oldest monument in Cong. Graveyard, Clinton (formerly Killingworth), Conn.; he m. (2) (1732 or '3, Sara (wid. of James) Bemis of New London.
Mr. Edward Griswold came to America at the time of the second visit of Mr. George Fenwick, at which date, also, came a large number of new settlers to the Conn. settlement. It was a time when many of the gentry of England and wealthy persons connected with the Warwick patent were intending removel hither; but the breaking out of the Scotch Rebellion compelled King Charles to call a Parliament, and they stayed at home to carry on their struggle with the King and Archbishop Laud. Mr. Griswold undoubtedly came in the interest of some of these patentees. He was attorney for Mr. St. Nicholas of Warwickshire, who had a house built in Windsor, and also a tract of land 'impaled' (fenced), as had Sir Richard Saltonstall. The Rev. Ephraim Huit, who came, also, in 1639, was from the same parish, as, also, the Wyllys family, who settled at Hartford.
His first location in Windsor is not known; but he had (see p. 157, Vol. I) a grant of land in Poquonok, to which he removed, in 1649, accompanied by a few families, who there found an 'outpost' settlement. His residence at P. was on the site of the present dwelling of the heirs of the late Eliphalet S. Ladd, and who, on the female side, are Griswold descendants. The spot is a beautiful knoll which overlooks the brook on the west, the Tunxis River on the south and east. As soon as he had fairly established his home, he began to take that active part in public matters which was natural to a man of his character. In 1650 he was a deputy from W. to the General Court, and continued, with the exception of one session, to represent the town until the reception of the charter from King Charles. At this time he was the principal promoter of a new settlement authorized by the court, called Hommonoscett, which lay immediatly west of Saybrook, and to which, about 1663, he removed with his younger children, deeding to his sons, George and Joseph, who remained behind, his W. lands, reserving a small life annuity therefrom. The settlement was organized as a town in 1667 and received, probably from him the name of his old English home Kenilworth, afterwards corrupted to Killingworth, and now known as Clinton. He was the first deputy from K., and continued to be its magistrate and representative for more than 20 years, 1662 to 1678-89, and was succeeded by his son John.
The 'Col. Rec.' show him to have been a very active, influential menmber of the legislature - pre-eminently one of those men who, in the first half-century, did so much to make the small colony of Connecticut so important a factor in American affairs. As a member of Sessions, he had the pleasure of meeting with his brother Matthew and his one son Francis; and there has, since that time, rarely been an Assembly of Conn. in which some of their lineal descendants have not been members. He was frequently a commisisioner; and, in 1678, was on a committee for establishing a Latin school in New London, and was first deacon of the K. church. He died at K., it is said, in 1691, in 84th year. Children (all by 1st wife; *Kenilworth Engl. Rec.):

"The Connecticut Magazine," Third Quarter, 1908, No. 3, Vol. XII, pp. 323-329, Article: "Recent Investigations in Connecticut Genealogy - Griswolds of Windsor," by Mrs. Julia Welles Griswold Smith, deals mainly with later Griswolds, but does have the following interesting comment in speaking of the children of Edward and Margaret: "Francis settled at Norwich; Sarah and Mary married brothers Samuel and Lieutenant Timothy, sons of Mr. William Phelps, and the Phelps and Griswold families have intermarried ever since. Deborah married Samuel Buell of Killingworth and is recorded as of fine presence and strong character, sometimes written of as 'the mother of all the Buells' in Connecticut. About 1663, after years of public service, Edward, the emigrant, deeded his Windsor lands and house to his sons, George and Joseph, and with some younger children removed to the south shore of the colony and was one of the founders of Killingworth, now Clinton. Here English Margaret died and here her tombstone stands today marked 'M.G. 1670.'
Edward immediately entered public life in Killingworth as in Windsor, as shown in Stiles and Salisbury Histories, but returning to Windsor for his last years, died in 1691. His sons, George and Joseph, who had remained there, are the ancestors of Windsor Griswolds...
Windsor had its real estate boom in 1640-50, when land was held at high prices and then dropped, for the obvious reason that if they could not pay Windsor prices there was plenty more land all about.
The Griswolds for many generations were large land-holders. Edward, first settler, had large acreage. George also bought of the Indians and was man of wealth and importance in Poquonoc. Windsor is an elastic term and includes much of what is since Poquonoc, Simsbury, Tarriffville, East Granby, and so forth. Samuel's property was some of the most beautiful in the state, nearly 500 acres, with views of Farmington River where it breaks through the Talcott Mountains and most romantic scenes of valley and mountain. Tarriffville used to be called Griswold Mills..."

"EDWARD GRISWOLD (GEORGEA, HENRYB) was born circa 1607 in Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and died in 1691 in Killingworth, CT. He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:

"1. EDWARD GRISWOLD, son of George and Dousabell--, was baptized 26 July 1607 in Wooten Wawen, a chapelry of Henley in Warwickshire, England. He married in England Margaret-- and they emigrated to New England in 1639 with perhaps six children and his younger brother Matthew. Margaret died in Killingsworth, Connecticut 23 August 1670. Her gravestone marked "M. G. 1670" is the oldest in the cemetery. Edward married, second, in 1672/3 Sarah (--) Bemis, widow of James Bemis of New London. Edward may be buried in the empty space beside Margaret's stone in Clinton. He died in 1691 in his 84th year. (1)(4)(15)
In a deposition dated 5 May 1684, Edward Griswold stated that he was about sixty-seven years old and that "about the year 1639 Mr. William Whiting, Dec'd, was Undertaker [financial sponser] for a shipp in England, in which Shipp I came to New England." He was to act as agent for Whiting in collecting £200 from a Mr. John St. Nicholas who was expected to soon be in Windsor. The Rev. Ephraim Huet of Wroxall near Kenilworth, though an eminent preacher and writer of the Puritan faith; had b6en persecuted as a non-conformist by Archbishop Laud. He emigrated with a party which undoubtedly included the Griswolds, arriving in Windsor, Connecticut 17 August 1639. Huet became the first teacher in the church there. Edward received his first share of lands at Windsor in January 1640/41. In 1642 title to Poquonack-about four miles away -- had been cleared with the Indians and a few families including the Griswolds moved there and Edward had a corner lot of twenty-nine acres bounded by Stony Creek on both the south and the west. This settlement seemed so remote to the General Court that in September of 1649 in consideration of the exposure of so many dangers it freed one "souldger" from each family from attendance on each training-day requiring that he who "tarryes at home, stands about the aforesaid howses uppon his sentinel posture." (4)(5)(15)
Edward was deputy from Windsor to the General Court (legislature) from 1656 until the charter was received from King Charles II in 1662/3 -- except for one session. He later represented Killingsworth almost continuously from 1667 to 1689 and he was Judge at Killingsworth from 1667 through 1677. (7)
In 1659 William Pyncheon contracted Edward Griswold to build "Old Fort," a mansion for the Pyncheon family on Main Street in Springfield in the Bay Colony. The building stood sixty or seventy-five feet back from the street, was forty-two feet long, twenty-one feet wide and was twenty-two feet from the ground to the eaves and the same distance perpendicular from the eaves to the ridge beams -- a very steep roof. The walls were red Long Meadow stone and bricks made in Northampton. The brick walls were over two feet thick on the first floor and half that on the second story. Eight by ten oak timbers supported the roof. Edward Griswold was paid €40 for the construction including both the stonework and the brickwork. A future son-in-law, Samuel Buel, prepared the hewn logs. On 5 October 1675 when Springfield was attacked and burned by the Indians, the house was one of three fortified houses. The building stood until 1831 and until 1800 was the only brick building in Springfield. Major Pyncheon held Court in one of the lower rooms and records were stored in a space above the porch. (4)(17)
In March-1663 the General Court appointed a committee to view Hamonoscett to ascertain if it would be a fit location for a new settlement or plantation. The second report of the committee which had decided in favor of the location and that it would support thirty families included Edward Griswold's name as one of the first settlers. He was then age sixty-four. The settlement was called Kenilworth (later corrupted to Killingsworth) as a courtesy to Edward's memory of his home in England. It was specified that each settler was to stay four years -- and to build within two years. Edward deeded his lands in Windsor to his older sons, reserving a small annuity for himself, and moved in 1663. The new town was first represented on the General Court in May of 1667 and Edward Griswold was its first Deputy. He was Deacon of the First Church, as well, and Commissioner (Justice) for more than sixteen years. At this same time his son Francis sat on the General Court representing Norwich and his younger brother, Matthew, was Deputy from Lyme. Only two men, including Edward, were accorded the prefix "Mr." on the 1669 list of Freeman. He was involved with laying out land for other plantations, arranging roads and bridges and their upkeep and establishing a Latin School at New London. The General Court in appreciation granted him two hundred acres of land in 1674, laid out at the north end of the "Lyme bounds," and the town of Killings-worth followed suit with a one hundred acre grant. (4)(6)(7)
Rather than a will he signed a conditional inheritance deed on Christmas day 1672 -- nineteen years before his death. John Griswold was to receive all the property out of which he paid certain legacies. He had, in the spirit of most .colonists, accumulated considerable land. (4)(8)

3. The book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude" by the daughters of the Utah Pioneers for daughter Barbara Graybill Stoker, b. Apr 1792 at Ashe, NC, notes the Wamplers, Graybills, and Stokers were of German origin coming to this country in the mid-1700's and settling in Ashe County, NC. They were neighbors and friends, and their children grew up together. Barbara was the fifth child born to her parents. When she grew up, she married David Stoker. After a forest area of Ohio was cleared in the early 1800's, the main body of Stoker and Graybill relatives crossed the border into Ohio on Christmas Day, 1815. While living in Ohio, the Stokers became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

4. I include a child for John Peter and Christina named Polly. The only place I have found this child is in the following book. There is no documentation and her inclusion here is somewhat tentative. There is a birthing gap of years between 1783 to 1787 in which another child or even another child could conceivably have also been born. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 6-8: "Polly Graybill, b. 24 Nov 1782, Ashe Co., NC."

5. Censuses:
1800 US: Ashe County, North Carolina. The total population for Ashe County, North Carolina in 1800 was 2785, including slaves. The 1800 Ashe County Census was the first for the northwestern most county in the Tar Heel State. This county was formed in late 1799 and included all of Wilkes County west of the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain. The 977 square miles that then composed Ashe County has been further divided, first in 1849 to form Watauga County, North Carolina and again 10 years later to form Alleghany County. This record includes families who may have been living in those areas at the time. The original census was in rough alphabetic order, and this does not facilitate the research of particular communities. I include all interrelated families of this time and place to better show relationships. A word of explanation on some of these families:
A. Mary and Barbara Burkett who married Peter and David Graybeal, had a father named Christian - unsure as to which is correct of the two.
B. Elizabeth Eller appears to be Elizabeth Dick, the wife of Peter Eller who had just died per his probate of 1799.The one daughter is probably Mary; unsure who the two boys are since there should be three: Jacob, Henry, and George. John Eller would be Elizabeth's eldest son and married to Susannah Kerns.
C. Henry Graybeal would have recently married Celia Henson and also the eldest son of [John] Peter and Christina [Wampler] Graybill who also appear to be in this same census. Note that Peter evidently had owned slaves at that time - the census does not say how many.
D. One of the William Hensons could be somehow related to William Henson who marries Nancy Graybill and to Celia Henson who marries Henry Graybeal.
E. The two Koons are probably brothers and are sons of Devault Koon judging from their ages. This would make them uncles to George Koons who eventually marries Mary Eller.
F. James Lewis, b. abt. 1790, marries Christena Graybill in 1807 - there may be a connection with these two James Lewis.
G. William Pennington marries Barbara (or Elizabeth) Eller and may be the younger of the two here listed.
H. Michael Stucker is a misspelling for Michael and Catherine Eller Stoker with their three oldest children: Polly, David, and Elizabeth.

1810 US: Ashe County, North Carolina; I include several related families in my database for this time and place. Some notes:
A. One of the two William Penningtons is married to an Eller - I assume it is the one with a younger wife.
B. One of the two Christian Burketts is probably the parent of Barbara and Mary who married Graybeal brothers.
C. James Lewis married Christina Graybill.
D. The older Peter Graybill would be John Peter and Christina Wampler Graybill. The other Peter and Henry would be their sons.
E. Adam Wilker could be Adam Welker, father of James Welker who later marries Elizabeth Stoker.
F. Surprisingly there is no Michael Stoker who should be there unless in adjoining county.
G. One of the two George Koons should be the George Koons of this database.
H. Not sure why two J. Ellers unless the transcriber inadvertently named the "J." as both Jacob when in fact the older one is John. Peter Eller would be a brother.
I. The older Peter Graybill would be John Peter Graybill, father of the other two Graybills: Henry and Peter [Jr.].

6. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

7. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot' which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court. Particulars of the case are given in records of this court. David Wampler, one of Peter's sons, acted as plaintiff and the other heirs were named as defendants. The plaintiff's solicitor recited the pertinent facts: Peter Wampler on 8 June 1792, being seized of divers Real Estate, duly made his last will and testament, and he devised that the real estate should be sold by his executor, and he constituted Martin Garber his executor; the said executor died without discharging the trust reposed in him; Letters of Administration De Bonis Non were granted to the plaintiff, David Wampler. The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings. The final record shows that court costs were paid, and then each of the heirs (named above) received 1/11 of the balance, or 39 pounds 13 shillings 11-1/2 pence each. Before the trustee sold this property, he placed an advertisement in a newspaper of Frederick, MD: 'Chancery sale of tract, Resurvey of Hunting Lot, 1 mile from David Roop's Mill, near mouth of Beaver Dam creek, possessed by Peter Wampler, Frederick County, deceased - David Wampler, trustee.' [ i. F. Edward Wright, "Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (Vol. 2), 1799-1805," Family Line Publ., Silver Spring, MD; 1986, item 573, "Frederick-Town Herald," 19 Mar 1803.] From the information given in this notice one can determine that the property was located in present -day Johnsville District, Frederick County. Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek. A German Baptist, or Dunkard, church was situated northeast of Johnsville, close to Beaver Dam Creek, and it is known that the Martin Garber family who bought land in this area in 1771 was active in the German Baptist community."

2. Mentioned in great grandson William's biography per two sources: www.rootsweb.com/~iaharris/ and FHL book 977.747-H2n, partial excerpt: "History of Harrison County, Iowa," 1891, pp. 686, 687: "William A. Graybill... To learn something of his early career the reader will be informed that he was born July 28, 1840, in Adams County, Ill., and accompanied his parents, who were among the early pioneers to locate in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, coming, as they did, before Council Bluffs had an existence, that location then being known as Miller's Hollow. Our subject remained with his parents until 1864. For nine years prior his father, himself and brothers A. J. & L., kept bachelor's hall in Pottawattamie County. [His father] Simeon P. Graybill was born March 26, 1816, in Jackson County, Ohio, and was the son of Mr. Graybill, a native of New York and of German ancestry. The father, Michael Graybill, was the son of Peter Graybill, who was born in Pennsylvania and married Christena Wampler, who had been taken prisoner by the Delaware Indians when a child and kept with the tribe for seven years and then returned to her parents. Peter Graybill was a son of John Graybill who came from Germany in the days of the Revolutionary War. Simeon Graybill's father, Michael, was married to Polly Stoker, in Ashe County, N. C., May 1811, removed to Jackson County, Ohio, and reared a family of eleven children: David, Catharine, Simeon, Levi, George, Lenore, Julian, Michael, Mary Ann, Elizabeth and Sidney."

3. Mentioned in the book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 90-91: "Polly Stoker, also called Mary, was the oldest child of Michael Stoker and Catherine Eller. Her mother lived with Polly in her old age in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. In North Carolina Polly married Michael Graybill, born May 14, 1787 to Peter Graybill and Christina Wampler, both natives of North Carolina and children of German parents. When Christina was five years old she had been stolen by Delaware Indians, but had been returned to her family when twelve. Her families were Dunkards or Anabaptists, both groups stemming from German Protestants. The Graybills lived in the German communities of early America, Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, Frederick County in Maryland and Ashe County in North Carolina. After a forest area of Ohio had been cleared in the early 1800's, the main body of Stoker and Graybill relatives crossed the northwest line into Ohio on Christmas Day, 1815. Some Graybills moved into Indiana where they married the daughters of John Smith and Massie Koons, great granddaughters of Peter Eller. In 1837, The Graybills left Ohio and Indiana for Caldwell County in Missouri. During the Mormon persecutions in Missouri, they fled to Illinois, coming to Pottawattamie County in Iowa in 1846-48. Vivian Graybill, of Independence, Missouri, has worked on the Graybill genealogy for many years and since he plans to publish a book with a great amount of detailed information I will not list the names of their complete families."

Possibly referred to in the following from the book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, p. 87: Michael Stoker, the son of (John) Michael Stoker, was a 28 year old bachelor in Wilkes County, NC when the US census was taken in 1790. The farm which Michael Stoker bought from John Dick was on the north fork of New River in Ashe County. (The boundary line had been changed from Wilkes.) In 1792 Michael married Catherine Eller, the oldest daughter of Peter Eller and Elizabeth Dick. The Ellers and Dicks were settlers in this same area and all of Michael and Catherine's children, except Eller, were born and raised among numerous family members in North Carolina. In 1815, the family joined a migration of relatives moving west into Ohio. This party of Graybills and Stokers, all ages from babies to the elderly crossed the border into Ohio on Christmas Day, 1815. Michael and his son David, who had just turned 21, took part in the first election held in Jackson County on April 1, 1816. John Michael Stoker, Michael's father, settled in Perry County, Ohio, about 60 miles north..."

'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 6-8, note that this book has some downline of the children of this couple: "John Peter Graybill, b. 3 Oct 1762, possibly in Lancaster or York Co., PA; d. 1 May 1848 (or 1845?), Vega, Bloomfield Twp., Jackson Co., OH; bur. at Vega; md. abt 1799, Frederick Co., MD to Christena Wampler. She was b. 1760, Frederick Co., MD; d. 1844, Jackson Co., OH. She was the d/o Peter and Barbara Wampler. When still a child, Christena, her younger sister and a neighbor child were kidnapped by the Delaware Indians. They were held for about seven years before they were released or rescued. The family knew they had the correct children when Christena sang lullabies that her mother had taught her. Their children included John, Polly, Peter Jr., Henry, Michael Peter, Nancy Mary, Christena, David, Joseph, and Elizabeth. Note that the children may not be in the proper order, and some later may have taken the name Graybeal, Grabill, Grabel or Grable. The reader should refer to all alternate surname spellings, since they may have been found by various spellings in various records."

6. Mentioned in their son Michael's biography in the FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 17-24, note that this book has a considerable downline of the children of this couple: "Michael Peter Graybill, b. 14 May 1787, Jefferson, Wilkes Co. (now Ashe Co.), NC; d. 24 Sep 1856, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., IA; bur. in the Graybill-Stoker Pioneer Cemetery; Pottawattamie Co,., IA; md. 1811, Ashe Co., NC to Mary 'Polly' Stoker.

She was the eldest child of Michael Stoker and Catherine Eller... Michael and Polly left North Carolina probably in early 1816, and settled in Bloomfield Twp., Jackson Co., OH. Michael's parents, Peter Sr. and Christena (Wampler) Graybill, accompanied them; also, Michael's brother Henry and sister Barbara who had married Polly's brother David Stoker. Polly's parents, Michael and Catherine (Eller) Stoker, and other Stokers also made the journey with them. [Also John Graybill?] In the early 1830's, the family was visited by Missionary John Fisher from Bloomfield Twp. and was introduced to the early Latter Day Saints church. Those who were old enough were baptized in 1833. Involved in the church, Michael Graybill Sr. and related families anxiously followed the news from Independence, MO. The wanted to gather with the Saints in Caldwell Co., MO to be part of Zion, the new Jerusalem. Michael sold his farm to his father, Peter Graybill Sr., who along with Henry, Michaels' brother, and sister Celia (Graybill) Henson, decided to stay in OH. In 1836, Michael and other relatives packed to make the trip to Far West, MO. They spent the winter with Stoker relatives in Monroe Co., IN, then arrived at Far West in September 1837..."

7. FHL 929.273 book "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, 1999, provides a very good and extensive history of the descendants of Hans Peter Wampler. The biography for Christina is spotty and basically passthrough from other databases already seen by me. He does add a reference to "Chancery Court, Vol. B54, pp. 318-325, David Wampler vs. the Heirs of Peter Wampler; proceedings dated 4 Sep 1802 to 5 Oct 1803, Maryland State Archives, Annapolis, MD." I have not seen the document but it appears to be about 10 years after the 1792 will of Hans Peter Wampler.

A letter written on 11 Aug 1757 from Hanover, Lancaster Co., PA, to the Governor of Pennsylvania read in part: '...We hear from Lebanon Township, Lancaster County, that on last Friday, four children were carried off by the Indians...'" Mrs. Shouse then quotes the Oct. 13, 1757 Pennsylvania Gazette article already quoted below; however, she seems unaware of the 1765 subsequent article which names two Wampler Children. She then continues: "The names of the children who were abducted are unknown. Some researchers of this line believe that two of the children were Eva and Christina. No proof has been found to substantiate this."

3. From copies in my files of the actual newspapers cited below sent to me from the City of Philadelphia, The Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1189:
A. "The Pennsylvania Gazette," October 13, 1757; p. 2: "By a letter from Hanover Township, in Lancaster County, dated the First Instant, we learn, that the children mentioned in our last to be carried off from Lebanon Township, belonged to one Peter Wampler; that there were five of them, and taken away while their Father and Mother were gone to the Meadow for a Load of Hay; and that the Indians likewise took from the House what they thought most valuable, and destroyed what they could not carry away, to a considerable Value. In the same Letter it is said, that the Frontiers are almost without Inhabitants; and that that Day, and the Day before, several Creatures were killed by the Enemy in Hanover Township and that on the Thursday before four People were killed in Berks County, and four made Prisoners, near the North-Kill, by a Party of Indians, supposed to be about Fifty."
B. "The Pennsylvania Gazette," January 17, 1765; Numb. 1882, p. 97; note the list has 207 names divided by those from Virginia and those from Pennsylvania. The list is then further divided between males and then females and Children. Both Wamplers are under Pennsylvanian females and Children. The list is signed by Lewis Ourry, Assistant Deputy Quarter-Master-General: "List of Captives taken by the Indians, and delivered to Colonel Bouquet, by the Mingoes, Delawares, Shawanese, Wyondots and Mohickons, at Tuscarawas and Muskingam, in November, 1764. Pennsylvanians - Females and Children, ...Christina Wampler... Christopher Wampler.."

Page 1:
"INDIAN BARBARITIES at The COMMENCEMENT of The YEAR 1764 - COL. BRADSTREET'S EXPEDITION To The UPPER LAKES - COL. BOUQUET'S SECOND EXPEDITION - HIS ADVANCE To THE
INDIAN TOWNS ON The MUSKINGUM - The SUBMission of The SavageS - The DELIVERY of The CAPTIVES To The WHITES - The FINAL TREATY of PEACE. DURING the winter of 1764, there was a cessation of the hostilities on the part of the Indians. Stricken with terror at the defeat and slaughter of their warriors at the battle of Brush creek, in Western Pennsylvania, by the army under Col. Bouquet, they retired farther into the forests and abandoned their usual haunts east of the Muskingum. But they retired only to prepare themselves for a renewal of hostilities in the ensuing year. The inhabitants on the frontiers being lulled into fancied security, by the stillness that reigned in the Indian camps during the winter, were awakened in the spring by the terrors of the war-whoop to all the horrors of savage barbarity. In several and distinct places they fell upon the border settlements, and wherever they went desolation and blood marked their trails. Alarm and suffering were again abroad among the inhabitants, and the whole frontier was the theatre of murdered families and burning dwellings.
It was therefore resolved that a decisive blow should be struck, and the merciless depredators be awed into silence and subjection. It was proposed to attack them at two different points, and "carry the war in the heart of their own country." With this view, Col. Bradstreet was sent, with a body of troops, to act against the Wyandotts, Ottawas, Chippewas, and other nations living in the vicinity of the lakes; while Colonel Bouquet should pass an army through Pennsylvania into Ohio, and attack the Delawares, Shawanese, Mingoes, Mohicans and other nations between the Ohio and the Lakes. These two divisions of the army were to act in concert. Col. Bradstreet was to proceed to Detroit, and Michilimackinac, in the first place, and on his return he was ordered to encamp and remain at Sandusky, to awe and hold in check the numerous north-western tribes, so as to prevent then from sending any assistance to the Ohio Indians, while Colonel Bouquet should march from Fort Pitt, and attack them in their settlements upon the Muskingum. Active measures were taken to raise the requisite number of troops for the expedition of Colonel Bouquet. A part of two regiments of the regular army, to be joined by the troops of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and two hundred friendly Indians, were to compose the army under Colonel Bouquet. The Indians never came, and the depredations of the savages upon the frontier of Virginia, employed all her troops for the defence of her frontier. In Pennsylvania, the Assembly passed a bill for raising one thousand men, which received the sanction of the Governor on the thirtieth of May; but the complement of forces was not obtained until the beginning of August. On the fifth of that month, the troops assembled at Carlisle, under their officers, Colonel Reid, Lieutenant-Colonel Francis, and Lieutenant-Colonel Clayton. Colonel Bouquet, accompanied by Governor John Penn, having arrived and taken command, the Governor addressed the Pennsylvania battalions, with a view to inspirit the soldiery, and to deter them from desertion. He adverted to the propriety of chastising the Indians, for their repeated and unprovoked barbarities on the inhabitants of the province: a just resentment of which, added to the courage of our provincial troops on former occasions, would, he did not doubt, animate them to do honor to their country. He told them that they were to be united to the same regular troops and under the same able commander, who had on that very day, the memorable fifth of August, in the preceding year, sustained the repeated attacks of the savages, and obtained over them a complete victory. He concluded be reminding them of the exemplary punishment that would be inflicted for the desertion should any one, forgetting the duty which he owed the country and the solemn oath he had taken, be guilty of the crime. The army then commenced its march, and on the thirteenth of August reached Fort Loudon. After all the precaution to prevent desertion, it was found that not less that three hundred of the Pennsylvania troops were missing. Application was immediately made to the Governor to replace the number by enlistment. The Governor gave the order, but the men were never raised. An application to the Governor of Virginia was more successful, and the requisite number joined Colonel Bouquet as Fort Pitt, in the latter end of September. While at Fort Loudon, Colonel Bouquet received dispatches from Colonel Bradstreet, dated August fourteenth, informing him that a treaty of peace had been concluded by him with the Delawares and Shawanese; but as these savages continued their murders and depredations, Colonel Bouquet placed no confidence in their sincerity, and resolved to prosecute his enterprise, and to force, if possible, the savages [page 2] from the frontiers. The propriety of his course was soon obvious. The express sent to Colonel Bradstreet, from Fort Pitt, with the answer to his communication, was murdered, and his head placed on a pole in the middle of the road.* The treaty entered into by the Indians was merely to gain time to remove their families.†
Colonel Bouquet arrived at Fort Pitt on the Fifteenth day of September. Shortly afterwards ten Indians appeared on the opposite side of the Allegheny river, and desired a conference. It was apprehended that it was a stratagem to learn the strength of the fort. They were requested to come over the river, but seemed unwilling. Three of the party, at length crossed over; but, giving no satisfactory reason for their visit, they were detained as spies, and their associates fled back to their towns.
On the twentieth of September, one of the Indians detained at the fort was sent to the towns on the Muskingum with the following message: "I have received an account from Colonel Bradstreet that your nations had begged for peace, which he consented to grant, upon assurance that you had recalled all your warriors from the frontiers; and in consequence thereof, I would not proceed against your towns, if I had not heard that, in open violation of your engagements, you have since murdered several of our people. As soon as the rest of the army joins me, which I expect immediately, I was therefore determined to have attacked you, as a people whose promises can no more be relied upon. But I will put it once more in your power to save yourselves and your families from total destruction, by giving us satisfaction for the hostilities against us. And, first, you are to leave the path open for my expresses, from hence to Detroit; and as I am now to send two men with dispatches to Colonel Bradstreet, who commands on the Lakes, I desire to know whether you will send two of your people with them to conduct them safe back with an answer? And if they receive any injury either going or coming, or if the letters are taken from them, I will immediately put the Indians now in my power to death, and will show no mercy in future to any of your nation that may fall into your hands. I allow you ten days to have my letters delivered at Detroit, and ten days to bring back an answer." About this time two Indians, an Onondago and an Oneida, came to Fort Pitt, with many professions of ancient friendship for the English, and endeavored to persuade Colonel Bouquet to abandon his design of marching against the Ohio Indians. They represented the expedition as dangerous, on account of the powerful and numerous tribes living in that region that would be arrayed against him. They recommended the dismissal of the two Indians detained at the fort, and gave assurances that if no hostile movements were made, the Indians would come and make peace. But these assurances being looked upon as a scheme to delay the march of the troops, till the lateness of the season would prevent them from proceeding, Colonel Bouquet answered that dependence could no longer be placed upon their promises, and that he would proceed to Tuscarawas, and either meet them in battle, or have a treaty permanently ratified. On the third day of October, Colonel Bouquet, with fifteen hundred men, departed from Fort Pitt, marched about a mile and a half over a rich level country and encamped for the might. The next morning, the army proceeding about two miles, came to the Ohio, at the beginning of the narrows, and then followed the course of the river along the beach. The next day they passed through Logstown, seventeen miles and a half from Fort Pitt. This place was noted for many years for the great trade carried on with the Indians, by the English and French. The Delawares and Shawanese abandoned it in 1750' and it was taken possession of by the Mingoes. It was deserted by the Mingoes after the battle of Brush Creek. The lower town extended about sixty perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge, on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the upper town, and quite across the Ohio, which, by its majestic, easy curr4ent, added much to the beauty of the place. The following day, the army passing over a steep ridge, crossed Big Beaver Creek, twenty perches in depth. It runs through a rich vale, with a strong current; its banks are high, and the upland adjoining it very good, covered with tall young timber. About a mile lrom its confluence with the Ohio, stood formerly a large town on a steep bank, built by the French for some Shawanese, Delawares and Mingoes. The houses were constructed of square logs, with stone chimnies. It was abandoned in 1758, when the French were driven from Fort Duquesne. Near the fording of Beaver Creek, stood also several houses, which were deserted and destroyed by the Indians, after their defeat at Brush Creek. ____

Two miles before the army reached Beaver, a person who had escaped from the Indians, came in. He had been taken about a week before, near Fort Bedford, by six Delawares. He stated that the Indians had seen the army the day before, but kept aloof, being awed by its numbers.* On the thirteenth of October, Colonel Bouquet, with his army, arrived at Tuscarawas, near the forks of the Muskingum. This place was found to be exceedingly beautiful, the lands rich on both sides of the river, - the country on the north-west side being a level plain for more than five miles in circumference. While the army remained in the camp here, the two men who had been sent by Colonel Bouquet the Colonel Bradstreet at Detroit, arrived. They reported that they had been made prisoners by the Delawares, within a few miles of this place, and taken about sixteen miles to one of their towns, there they were kept until the savages learning the arrival of the army, set them at liberty, ordering them to say the Colonel Bouquet that the Chiefs of the Delawares and Shawanese are coming to negotiate a peace.
The next day Colonel Bouquet proceeded two miles further down the Muskingum, and encamped on a high bank. The next day the Indians came to inform him, that all their chiefs were assembled about eight miles distant, and were ready to enter into a treaty with him, and were earnestly desirous of peace. He returned an answer, that he would meet them the next day in a bower a some distance from the camp. In the meantime he built a small stockade fort for the deposit of provisions, for the use of the troops on their return and to lighten the convoy. On the seventeenth of October, Colonel Bouquet, attended by a portion of the regular troops, the Virginia volunteers, and the light horses, repaired to the bower that had been erected for the conference. Shortly after the troops had been arranged so as to appear to the best advantage, the Indians arrived at the place appropriated for them. Of the Delawares, two tribes were present, numbering twenty warriors, with their respective chiefs, Custaloga and Beaver. Of the Shawanese, Keissinautchtha, a deputy from the chiefs, and six warriors. And of the Kiyashnta, Custaloga, Beaver and Turtle-Heart, were the chief speakers. Being seated, they first smoked the calumet of peace; after which, they laid them aside, and addressed Colonel Bouquet at length. The substance of which they had to offer consisted in excuses for their treachery and misconduct, throwing the blame on the rashness of their young men, and the nations living to the westward of them; sueing for peace in an humble manner, and promising severally to deliver up all their prisoners. After they had concluded, the Colonel promised to give them an answer the next day, and after dismissing them returned with the army to camp. On account of unfavorable weather, the next meeting did not take place until the twentieth, when Colonel Bouquet, replied, "that their pretances to palliate their guilt by throwing the blame on the Western nations, and the rashness of their young men, were weak and frivolous, as it was in the power of the English to protect them against all these nations, if they had solicited assistance, and that it was their own duty to have chastised their young men when they did wrong, and not to suffer themselves to be directed by them.
He recapitulated to them the many instance of their former perfidy; their killing and captivating the traders who had been sent among them, at their own request, and plundering their effects; their attacking Fort Pitt, which had been built with their express consent; their murdering four men that had been sent on a public message to them, thereby violating the customs held sacred among all nations, however barbarous; their attacking the English army at Brush creek, and after being defeated, falling upon the frontier and continuing to murder. He also referred to their treacherous violation of their late engagements with Colonel Bradstreet, in which they stipulated to deliver up all their prisoners by the tenth of September last, and to recall all their warriors from the frontiers. sh will no longer be imposed upon by your promises. This army shall not leave your country, until you have fully complied with every condition that is to precede a treaty with you."
"I have brought with me, the relations of the people you have massacred, or taken prisoners. They are impatient for revenge; and it is with difficulty that I can protect you against their resentment, which is only restrained by the assurances given them, that no peace shall ever be concluded till you have given full satisfaction.

"Your former allies, the Ottawas, Chippewas, Wyandotts, and others, have made peace with us. The Six Nations have joined us against you. We now surround you, having possession of all the waters of the ohio, the Mississippi, and the Lakes. All the French living in those parts are now subjects of Great Britain, and dare no longer assist you. It is therefore in our power totally to extripate you from being a people. But the English are a merciful and generous nation, averse to shed the blood even of their most cruel enemies; and if it were possible that you could convince us that you sincerely repent of your past perfidy, and that we could depend on your good behavior for the future, you might yet hope for mercy and peace. If I find you faithfully execute the following preliminary conditions, I will not treat you with the severity you deserve. I give you twelve days to deliver into my hands all the prisoners in your possession, without any exception; Englishmen, Frenchmen, women and Children, whether adopted in your tribes, married, or living amongst you under any denomination and pretence, whatsoever, together will all the Negroes. And you are to furnish the said prisoners with clothing, provisions and horses, to carry them to Fort Pitt. When you have fully complied with these conditions, you shall then know on what terms you may obtain the peace you ask.* The decided tone of this speech had the desired effect. The determined spirit in which it was delivered, the boldness of the army in penetrating into the wilderness, which they had deemed impassible by regular troops, and the vigilance of the commander who had signally defeated them a Bushy run, had the desired effect, and awed them into a desire for peace. At the close of the former conference on the seventeenth, the two Delaware chiefs delivered eighteen white prisoners, and also eighty-three small sticks expressing the number of other prisoners in their possession, promising to release them as soon as possible. None of the Shawanese Sachems appeared at the conference, and their deputy, Keissinautchtha, declined speaking until Colonel Bouquet had answered the Delawares, and then with dejected sulleness, he promised in behalf of his nation, to submit to the terms agreed upon by the other tribes. As the presence of the army was the best security for the performance of the promises of the Indians, Colonel Bouquet determined to march further into the country, and required some of each nation to attend him on his march. And before they separated, Kiyashta, the leading sachem, addressed the chiefs and warriors of the several nations, desiring them "to be strong in complying with their engagements, that they might wipe away the reproach of their former breach of faith, and convince their brothers, the English, that they could speak the truth," adding "that he would conduct the army to the place appointed for receiving the prisoners."† Colonel Bouquet declined shaking hands with the chiefs at the close of this meeting, and as they appeared dissatisfied, he told them that the English never took their enemies by the hand until peace was finally concluded.‡ The council then separated.
On the twenty-second day of October, the army began its march to the place appointed to receive the prisoners. But arriving at a place about a mile from the forks of the Muskingum, and thirty miles from the place of holding the late council, Colonel Bouquet concluded to encamp, it being in the midst of their towns and settlements. Four redoubts were built opposite the four angles of the camp; the ground in front was cleared, a store-house erected for provisions, and also a house to receive the Indians for the purpose of holding a council, upon their return with the prisoners. Messengers now arrived in camp from the Delawares and Shawanese, with information that the prisoners were already on their way, in charge of the Indians; and a Caughnawaga chief and twenty warriors presented themselves to Colonel Bouquet, with a letter from Colonel Bradstreet, in answer to the one which had been sent, by two Indians from Fort Pitt. The substance of this communication was, that Colonel Bradstreet had settled nothing with the several Indian tribes, and had recovered no prisoners - and that he found it impossible any longer to co-operate with Colonel Bouquet. It is important to say what would have been the effect of his determination, if Colonel Bouquet had not been in possession of the Indian territory with his army, and had the chiefs of the several tribes with him. On Friday, the ninth of November, the Colonel, attended by most of the principal officers, went to the council-house. Most of the prisoners had now arrived, and were given up, amounting to two hundred and six. Almost one hundred were still in possession of the Shawanese, which were delivered up in the ____

following spring. The conference was first opened with the Senecas and Delawares. Kiyashuta and ten warriors represented the former, Custaloga and twenty warriors the latter. Kiyashuta, Sachem of the Senecas, arose and spoke as follows: "With this string of wampum, we wipe away the tears from your eyes - we deliver you these three prisoners, which are the last of your flesh and blood that remained among the Senacas and Custaloga tribe of Delawares.* We gather together and bring with this belt,† all the bones of the people that have been killed during this unhappy war, which the evil spirit occasioned among us. We cover the bones that have been buried, that they may be never more remembered. We again cover their place with leaves, that it may be no more seen. As we have been long astray, and the path between you and us stopped, we extend this belt, that it may again be cleared, and we may travel in peace to see our brethren as our ancestors formerly did. While you hold it fast by one end, and we by the other, we shall always be able to discover anything that may disturb our friendship." Colonel Bouquet replied, that he received the last prisoners and heard with much gratification the speech of Kiyashuta. He was ready to join in burying the bones of the victims of this war, so that their places might be no more seen. The peace asked for should now be had. But as he was a warrior, other persons would be commissioned to make a treaty with them. He then required two hostages from each tribe, as a security against further hostilities, and that deputies should be sent fully empowered to treat for all the tribes, with Sir William Johnson, at Fort Pitt; and in that treaty everything should be settled to render the peace everlasting. This was done, when he took the chiefs by the hand for the first time which gave them great joy. The next day Colonel Bouquet met King Beaver, chief of the two other tribes of the Delawares, with thirty warriors, when the same ceremonies took place between them as on the preceding day, with the other tribes. He presented six hostages, and five deputies, to treat for peace. The Shawanese met Colonel Bouquet in council, on the twelfth of November. Although this nation saw themselves under the necessity of yielding to the same Conditions with the other tribes, yet there appeared a reluctance and sullen haughtiness in their conduct, which rendered it very suspicious. Their chiefs and forty warriors were present, also about sixty warriors, and their chiefs, of the Senecas and Delawares. The Red Hawk was their speaker, and he delivered himself with a strange mixture of pride and submission. The following extracts the specimens: "BROTHER: - You will listen to us your younger brethren; and as we discover something in your eyes, that prevents you from being satisfied with us, we will wipe it away that you may clearly see. You had heard many bad stories of us. We clear your ears that you may hear. We remove every bad thing from your heart, that it may be like the heart of your ancestors when they thought nothing but good. "When we saw you coming this road, you advanced towards us, with an uplifted tomahawk in your hand; but we take it out of your hands to throw it to the GOOD SPIRIT, to dispose of as he pleases. And now brother, who are yourself a warrior, we ask you to take hold of this chain of friendship, and receive it from us, who are also warriors, and let us think no more of war, in pity to our old men, women and Children. "Now, brother, I beg that we who are warriors may forget our disputes, and renew the friendship which appears by these papers, which I hold in my hand, to have subsisted between our fathers. A number of prisoners were delivered up, and hostages given to Colonel Bouquet, as security for the promised treaty of peace. Red Hawk pledged himself in behalf of the rest of the nation, who were absent as a great distance, in hunting, that they certainly should come to Fort Pitt in the spring, and bring the remainder of the prisoners with them. This pledge was afterwards faithfully redeemed. The basis of a treaty now being effected, the prisoners were brought into camp. The occurred a scene of thrilling interest; where were to be seen fathers and mothers recognizing and clasping their once lost babes; husbands hanging around the necks of their newly recovered wives; sisters and brothers unexpectedly meeting together after long separations, scarce able to speak the same language, or for some time, to be sure they were children of the same parents! In all these interviews, joys and rapture inexpressible were seen, while feelings of a very different nature were painted in the looks of others, flying from place to place in eager enquiries after relations not found! trembling to receive an answer to their questions! distracted with doubts, hopes and fears, on obtaining no account of those sought for! or stiffened ____

into living monuments of horror or woe, on learning their unhappy fate. The Indians, too, as if wholly
forgetting their usual savageness, bore a capital part in heightening these most affecting scenes. They delivered up their beloved captives with the utmost reluctance, shed torrents of tears over them, recommending them to the care and protection of the commanding officer, and continuing their regard to them all the time they remained in the camp. They visited them from day to day; brought them what corn, skins, horses, and other matters, they had bestowed on them while in their families; accompanied with other presents, and all the marks of the most sincere and tender affection. Nay, they did not stop here, but, when the army marched, some of the Indians solicited and obtained leave to accompany their former captives all the way to Fort Pitt, and employed themselves in hunting provisions for them on the road. A young Mingo went still further, and gave an instance of love which would make a figure even in romance. He had taken such a liking to a Virginia young woman, who was amongst the captives, as to call her his wife. Against all remonstrances of the imminent danger to which he exposed himself by approaching the frontiers, he persisted in following her at the risk of being killed by the surviving relations of many unfortunate persons, who had been captivated or scalped by those of his nation. These qualities in savages challenge our just esteem. They should make us charitably consider their barbarities as the effects of wrong education and false notions of bravery and heroism; while we should look on their virtues as sure marks that nature has made them fit subjects of cultivation as well as us; and that we are called on by our superior advantages to yield them all the help we can in this way. Cruel and unmerciful as they are, by habit and long example in war, yet, whenever they come to give way to the native dictates of humanity they exercise virtues which Christians need not blush to imitate. When they once determined to give life, they gave everything with it, which, in their apprehension, belongs to it. From every inquiry that has been made, it appears that no woman thus saved is preserved for base motives, or need fear the violation of her honor. No child is otherwise treated by the persons adopting it, that the children of their own body. The perpetual slavery of those captivated in war is a notion which even their barbarity has not yet suggested to them. Every captive, whom their affection, their caprice, or whatever else, leads them to save, is soon incorporated with them, and fares alike with themselves. Among the captives, a woman was brought into the camp at Muskingum, with a babe about three months old at her breast. One of the Virginia volunteers soon knew he to be his wife, who had taken by the Indians six months before. He flew with her to his tent, and clothed her and his child in proper apparel. But her joy, after the first transports were soon dampened by the reflection that another dear child of about two years old, captivated with the mother, and separated from her, was still missing, although many children had been brought in. A few days afterward a number of other prisoners were brought in, and among them were several more Children. The woman was sent for, and one supposed to be hers was produced to her. At first sight she was uncertain, but viewing the child with great earnestness, she soon recollected its features, and was so overcome with joy, that, literally forgetting her sucking Child, she dropped it from her arms, and catching up the new found child in an ecstasy, clasped it to her breast, and bursting into tears, carried it off, unable to speak for joy. The father, seizing up the babe she had let fall, followed her in no less transport and affection. Among the children who had been carried off, and had long lived with the Indians, it is not to be expected that marks of joy would appear on being restored to their parents or relations. Having been accustomed to look upon the Indians as the only connections they had, having been tenderly treated by the, and speaking their language, it is no wonder that they considered their new state in the light of captivity, and parted from the savages with tears. But is must not be denied that there were even some grown persons who showed an unwillingness to return. The Shawanese were obliged to bind several of their prisoners, and force them along to the camp; and some women, who had been delivered up, afterwards found means to escape and run back to the Indians towns. Some, who could not make their escape, clung to their savage acquaintances at parting, and continued many days in bitter lamentations, even refusing sustenance. The following paragraph from the speech of the Shawanese chief, on delivering his prisoners, is strong proof of what is before observed, concerning their tenderness and affection for the captives whom they have preserved: "Father, says, he to the English, we have brought your flesh and blood to you; they have all been untied to us by adoption, and although we now deliver them up to you, we will always look upon them as our relations, whenever the Great Spirit is pleased that we may visit them. We have taken as much care of them as if they were our own flesh and blood. They are now become acquainted with your customs and [Page 7] manners, and therefore we request you will use them tenderly and kindly, which will induce them to live contentedly with you." Business now having been closed with the Indians, the army commenced its march on the 18th of November for Fort Pitt, and arrived there on the 28th. A few days afterwards Colonel Bouquet proceeded to Philadelphia, and from thence returned to England. In the ensuing spring, when the ninth of May, the time designated for holding the council for ratifying the treaty of peace, arrived, ten chiefs and about fifty warriors, accompanied by a large body of the Delaware, Seneca, Sandusky, and Muncy tribes, made their appearance at Fort Pitt, for the faithful fulfillment of their promises. They brought with them all the prisoners except a few, who they said were absent with their hunting parties - such as probably preferred a savage life. The Shawanese now, as well as the other nations, expresses their entire satisfaction as the treaty of peace. Their tone was completely changed, and they seemed indeed rejoiced in perfectly brightening "the chain of friendship." Peace was ratified, and the Indians returned to their homes in the wilderness; and the deserted hearth stones of the white inhabitants, upon the frontiers, were again revisited, and the wave of population began to move on westward.
Thus closed the memorable Kiyashuta and Pontiac war - one of short duration, but nevertheless productive of more distracting disquietude, and serious injury to the frontier settlements, than had been experienced during years of previous hostility. The peace that now ensued lasted until a short time prior to the revolution, and gave confidence and security to the pioneers of the west. It was during this period of quietude that emigration to the valley west of the Alleghenies, was permanently commenced, when the foundations were laid of great and powerful States, now holding a controlling influence in the American Union."

5. Mentioned as part of the 206 captives that crossed this area northwest of Pittsburg:: Indian Trail Crossing of the Beaver River in Bridgewater, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Situated as it is, at the mouth of the Beaver River as it flows into the broad Ohio River, it has been known as "The Stepping Stone" of the Indian Tribes in crossing over to the northern part of the great stream as the Ohio River is known. This was true during prehistoric times, as well as during the advent of the French and English Colonial Period. The settlement blossomed forth with the budding and operation of the Lake Erie to Ohio River Canal and reached the peak of its growth, population and importance during that brief interlude. There is some justification to the popular expression that "Bridgewater was the offspring" of the now all-but -forgotten canal. (Located at the foot of Wolf Lane, at the down-river end of Bridgewater Dyke, a few yards below the new Bridgewater-Rochester bridge.) Here was the crossing of the Beaver River by an old Indian Trail that ran along the north bank of the Ohio River from the "Forks of the Ohio" at Pittsburgh to the Indiana country. During the occupation of Fort Duquesne by the French Army, this path was known as "French-Way." A branch of this trail veered westward at the lower end of Beaver, passing out the Tuscarawas Road to Blackhawk, to Negley, Ohio and West Point, Ohio and then on to the Tuscarawas River in Ohio. It is from this river that it derived its name. On the Bridgewater shore of the crossing was a branch path, known as the "Sandusky Trail," which went northward up (lie Beaver River to the foot of Fallston Hill. There it veered westward and wended its way out the Old Darlington Road through Darlington, Enon Valley, Petersburg, Ohio and on to the Indian villages around Upper Sandusky in Ohio. A segment of this trail went straight up the Beaver River from the foot of Fallston Hill to Mahoningtown. There it turned westward, passed through Mt. Jackson to Petersburg, Ohio, where it joined the main trail. Captain Sam Brady used the Sandusky Trail on his scouting expeditions to upper Sandusky. Some of his noted exploits occurred along its path. Colonel Bouquet's Army crossed the Beaver River at this point while en route to the Muskingham River in Ohio to obtain the release of white captives held by the Indians in that area. The crossing took place on October 6, 1764. When Colonel Bouquet's Army returned from Ohio, it re-crossed the Beaver River here with 206 released white captives. This was the landing point for two river packets that made daily trips to Pittsburgh during the Canal Boat days. The starting point for a stage coach line that ran to Cleveland, Ohio was at the steam boat landing."

6. Miscellaneous references to the Col. Bouquet, a swiss born british officer and his freeing the captives:
A book on the subject of captives released by Col. Bouquet in 1765: Booth, Russell H., "The Tuscarawas Valley."
: "In 1763, Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Indians successfully united together many of the tribes in the Ohio Country. His goal was to drive English settlers, traders, and soldiers from the Ohio Country. Pontiac's Rebellion, as it became known, was a direct result of the French and Indian War. In 1763, after England's victory in the war, the British government acquired all French colonies in North America. This created fear among the Ohio natives, especially because of the large and still growing number of English colonists in North America. While the French were in North America, the Indians could count on them for military assistance against the English as well as a steady supply of guns and ammunition thanks to the fur trade. With the French gone from North America, the natives' situation had become precarious at best. The first year of Pontiac's Rebellion went badly for the English. The Native Americans drove out most English people from the Ohio Country. England's two most important fortresses west of the Appalachian Mountains, Fort Detroit and Fort Pitt, nearly fell. The Indians successfully captured Fort Sandusky and murdered the entire garrison. Hundreds of other English colonists either died or were captured. In the autumn of 1764, the English military went on the offensive. Colonel Henry Bouquet, the commander of Fort Pitt, led a force of nearly 1,500 militiamen and regular soldiers from the fort into the heart of Ohio Country in October. Bouquet's force moved westward slowly. He had no intention of surprising the natives. He hoped to avoid battle altogether by convincing the Indians that they had no chance against the sizable number of British soldiers. Bouquet had every intention of destroying the native villages, especially those of the Delaware Indians and the Mingo Indians, in eastern Ohio unless they surrendered and agreed to all of the colonel's demands. On October 13, Bouquet's army reached the Tuscarawas River. Shortly thereafter the S 		Wampler, Christina (I1856)

3. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

5. FHL film 1036676 with the book, "Founders of Anne Arundel & Howard Co.s, MD," by J. D. Warfield, 1905, p. 370, has a passing reference to John Wampler concerning the Burgess family of Howard Co. In the will of Alexander Warfield of Frederick co., Alexander bequeaths land he bought of John Wampler to Caleb Burgess. This source does not give a will date nor an exact location of the land, but a location of Frederick co. can be inferred by the context.

3. FHL 929.273 book "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, 1999, pp. 50-56:
a. "John Wampler, b. 11 Sep 1768, PA; d. 28 Feb 1845, Rockingham Co., VA, md. Magdalene Garber, b. Dec 1768, d. ca. 1855 (at age 87), Rockingham Co., VA. Magdalene Garber was a dau. of Martin Garber Sr., and his wife Anna Preston of Frederick Co., MD. Recall that Martin Garber Sr. had been named by H. Peter Wampler, John's father, to serve as his executor. One finds John Wampler's name in several Frederick Co. land records between 1802 and 1810, some of which also pertain to Anna Garber, Samuel Garber, Christina Garber, John Garber, Martin Garber Jr., Mary (Garber) Diel (wife of John Diel) - heirs of Martin Garber Sr. In 1811, John and Magdalene Wampler, together with their children, migrated to Rockingham County, Virginia, where they established a homestead two miles south of present-day Timberville. In due course their six sons and five daughters established their own families, and today numerous Wamplers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia look to John Wampler as their patriarch. He became an active leader and elder in the Dunkard church (later known as Church of Brethren), and some of his descendants were to follow in his footsteps. John Wampler's son-in-law, Elder John Kline, kept a diary in which he noted on 28 Feb 1845 that Father Wampler died at 11:00 a.m. at the age 76 years, 5 months, and 17 days."
b. Issue of 11 children and at least 79 grandchildren:
i. Samuel Wampler, b. Dec 1791, PA; d. 2 Oct 1883, VA; bur. at Wampler Cemetery near Timberville, VA, md. Magdalene Wine, b. 1797, PA, d. 1864, VA; dau. of Michael and Susannah (Miller) Wine. res. Singers Glen. VA. The book details 10 children of this couple.

Rockingham Co., VA. had 1 child who died in infancy (1819). John Kline was an elder in the Church of the Brethren. Like most Brethren, he was vigorously opposed to slavery and to military service. Consequently, he had great difficulty with the political and military authorities. He was distrusted because he seemed willing to render medical aid to both sides in the Civil War. In 1862 he was imprisoned for nearly two weeks near Harrisonburg. No specific charges were placed, but he was suspected of being a Union sympathizer. As the war continued, distrust of Brethren like Kline increased, and in June 1864, he was ambushed, shot and killed near his home.
v. Susannah Wampler, b. 15 Dec 1798, PA; d. 11 Aug 1878, MO; bur. Mar 1819, Joseph Glick, b. 1799, VA; d. 1863, Holt Co., MO; son of John and Elizabeth (Bauserman) Glick. Res. New Market, VA; from 1857 on, Mound City, MO. The book details 10 children of this couple.

2. The following notes are from 23 Feb 2004 Rootsweb.com Worldconnect database ":480580" by Donna Shell with email dani5322@netzero.net:
a. Paper on "John & Ludwig Wampler, Sons of the Immigrant Christian Wampler (1718-1765), with Notes on William Wampler (1813-1886)" by Roy H. Wampler, dtd. 15 July 1988. (I have a copy.) [Kerry's note: I reviewed this book at FHL in Salt Lake City - FHL book 929.273 W181wr.]

3. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

4. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot" which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court. Particulars of the case are given in records of this court. David Wampler, one of Peter's sons, acted as plaintiff and the other heirs were named as defendants. The plaintiff's solicitor recited the pertinent facts: Peter Wampler on 8 June 1792, being seized of divers Real Estate, duly made his last will and testament, and he devised that the real estate should be sold by his executor, and he constituted Martin Garber his executor; the said executor died without discharging the trust reposed in him; Letters of Administration De Bonis Non were granted to the plaintiff, David Wampler. The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings. The final record shows that court costs were paid, and then each of the heirs (named above) received 1/11 of the balance, or 39 pounds 13 shillings 11-1/2 pence each. Before the trustee sold this property, he placed an advertisement in a newspaper of Frederick, MD: 'Chancery sale of tract, Resurvey of Hunting Lot, 1 mile from David Roop's Mill, near mouth of Beaver Dam creek, possessed by Peter Wampler, Frederick County, deceased - David Wampler, trustee.' [ i. F. Edward Wright, "Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (Vol. 2), 1799-1805," Family Line Publ., Silver Spring, MD; 1986, item 573, "Frederick-Town Herald," 19 Mar 1803.] From the information given in this notice one can determine that the property was located in present -day Johnsville District, Frederick County. Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek. A German Baptist, or Dunkard, church was situated northeast of Johnsville, close to Beaver Dam Creek, and it is known that the Martin Garber family who bought land in this area in 1771 was active in the German Baptist community."

1. Some have said the marriage was 24 Jul 1785, but that is incorrect. FHL book "Pennsylvania German Marriages," by Donna R. Rush (Baltimore, 1984), p. 477, shows a marriage of John Turner and Barbara Wambler, 24 Jul 1785, in First Trinity Reformed Church in York, York Co., PA. Apparently it must be a different Barbara than ours who married 24 Jul 1785.

2. Father's 1792 will mentions children of Barbara Warts so based on at least two children, she would have had to be married before 1788.

3. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

3. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot' which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court. Particulars of the case are given in records of this court. David Wampler, one of Peter's sons, acted as plaintiff and the other heirs were named as defendants. The plaintiff's solicitor recited the pertinent facts: Peter Wampler on 8 June 1792, being seized of divers Real Estate, duly made his last will and testament, and he devised that the real estate should be sold by his executor, and he constituted Martin Garber his executor; the said executor died without discharging the trust reposed in him; Letters of Administration De Bonis Non were granted to the plaintiff, David Wampler. The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings. The final record shows that court costs were paid, and then each of the heirs (named above) received 1/11 of the balance, or 39 pounds 13 shillings 11-1/2 pence each. Before the trustee sold this property, he placed an advertisement in a newspaper of Frederick, MD: 'Chancery sale of tract, Resurvey of Hunting Lot, 1 mile from David Roop's Mill, near mouth of Beaver Dam creek, possessed by Peter Wampler, Frederick County, deceased - David Wampler, trustee.' [ i. F. Edward Wright, "Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (Vol. 2), 1799-1805," Family Line Publ., Silver Spring, MD; 1986, item 573, "Frederick-Town Herald," 19 Mar 1803.] From the information given in this notice one can determine that the property was located in present -day Johnsville District, Frederick County. Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek. A German Baptist, or Dunkard, church was situated northeast of Johnsville, close to Beaver Dam Creek, and it is known that the Martin Garber family who bought land in this area in 1771 was active in the German Baptist community."

BIRTH:
1. Ancestral File reports birthdate of 2 Jun 1739 which is incorrect since the father would still be in Alsace in Europe prior to his 1741 proven immigration and also since the proven date of marriage of the parents was in 1743 in Pennsylvania.

Phebe Engler's gravestone gives her age as 64 yr., 3 mo., 5 d., implying that her date of birth was 12 Jan 1751, but this may conflict with her sister Anna Elizabetha's birth date which was probably a month or so before her baptism on 28 Oct 1750. The gravestone of Phebe's husband, Jacob Engler (1752-1816), is one which matches hers in design. Also buried at Wolfe Cemetery is a younger Jacob Englar (1764-1809) who was son of Philip Englar (1736-1817) and thus a brother of the Catherine Englar who married David Wampler, Phebe's younger brother. In the 1790 and 1800 censuses, Jacob Engler is listed as a head of family in Frederick Co., MD. Some previously published accounts [references Fred B. Wampler's "Wampler Family History 1701-1980" and Genevieve M. Shouse's "Wamplers of America"] of the Wampler family state that the name of Philiptenia Wampler's husband was Philip Engler (or Ingler), but I have found nothing in the original records to substantiate this claim. The Chancery Court records gives her husband's name as Jacob Engler. One witness to her father's will, however was named Philip Engler."

The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

5. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot' which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court. Particulars of the case are given in records of this court. David Wampler, one of Peter's sons, acted as plaintiff and the other heirs were named as defendants. The plaintiff's solicitor recited the pertinent facts: Peter Wampler on 8 June 1792, being seized of divers Real Estate, duly made his last will and testament, and he devised that the real estate should be sold by his executor, and he constituted Martin Garber his executor; the said executor died without discharging the trust reposed in him; Letters of Administration De Bonis Non were granted to the plaintiff, David Wampler. The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings. The final record shows that court costs were paid, and then each of the heirs (named above) received 1/11 of the balance, or 39 pounds 13 shillings 11-1/2 pence each. Before the trustee sold this property, he placed an advertisement in a newspaper of Frederick, MD: 'Chancery sale of tract, Resurvey of Hunting Lot, 1 mile from David Roop's Mill, near mouth of Beaver Dam creek, possessed by Peter Wampler, Frederick County, deceased - David Wampler, trustee.' [ i. F. Edward Wright, "Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (Vol. 2), 1799-1805," Family Line Publ., Silver Spring, MD; 1986, item 573, "Frederick-Town Herald," 19 Mar 1803.] From the information given in this notice one can determine that the property was located in present -day Johnsville District, Frederick County. Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek. A German Baptist, or Dunkard, church was situated northeast of Johnsville, close to Beaver Dam Creek, and it is known that the Martin Garber family who bought land in this area in 1771 was active in the German Baptist community."

a. "Anna Elisabetha Wampler, b.apt. 28 Oct 1750, PA, d. 1836, Frederick Co., Maryland, md. Abraham Hartman, d. 1829, Frederick Co., MD. Presumably Anna Elisabetha Wampler was also known as Ann Wampler. Anna Elisabetha is the name given in the 1750 baptismal record of one of Peter Wampler's daughters. Peter's 1792 will and later records refer to Ann, wife of Abraham Hartman. Abraham Hartman was mentioned in the Adminimstration Account (1796) pertaining to Peter Wampler's estate. Abraham Hartman's will was written on 4 Nov 1826 and probated 31 Mar 1829 in Frederick Co., MD. He bequeathed all his estate, real and personal, to his wife Ann, and she was named as the executrix. Ann Hartman's will was written on 7 Dec 1830 and probated 11 Apr 1836 in Frederick Co. She made a number of bequests to relatives and firends. The relatives were Mary, Ann, Daniel and Catharine Wampler, all children of her brother Jacob; her brother John Wampler; and four nephews, Jacob, John, David and Daniel Englers, sons of her sister Phoebe. Ohers who were to receive bequests wer Mary Engler, 'a young woman that I have raised'; and David Stoner and Henry Bucher of Frederick County. As her executor she named a friend, Daniel Sayler Jr. The assets distributed to her legatees amounted to $3,335.98. The passage of her will pertaining to the children of her brother Jacob reads: 'I give and bequeath unto my two nieces, daughters of my brother Jacob Wampler, Mary Wampler and Ann Wampler, eash of them fifty dollars in cash. In consequence of those two nieces, Mary Wampler and Ann Wampler bieng in a state of mental derangement it is my will that their said legacies be paid as follows: Fifty dollars to be paid into the hands of Daniel Wampler of Jacob to be applyed by him to the support of said Mary Wampler, and fifty dollars to be paid into the hands of Catharine the sister of those girls, to be by her applyed and laid out for the support of said Ann Wampler, provided the said girls should not live any more, then the laid legacies shall go to the said Daniel Wampler, and to said Catherine for their own use of their heirs.'"

3. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

4. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot' which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court. Particulars of the case are given in records of this court. David Wampler, one of Peter's sons, acted as plaintiff and the other heirs were named as defendants. The plaintiff's solicitor recited the pertinent facts: Peter Wampler on 8 June 1792, being seized of divers Real Estate, duly made his last will and testament, and he devised that the real estate should be sold by his executor, and he constituted Martin Garber his executor; the said executor died without discharging the trust reposed in him; Letters of Administration De Bonis Non were granted to the plaintiff, David Wampler. The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings. The final record shows that court costs were paid, and then each of the heirs (named above) received 1/11 of the balance, or 39 pounds 13 shillings 11-1/2 pence each. Before the trustee sold this property, he placed an advertisement in a newspaper of Frederick, MD: 'Chancery sale of tract, Resurvey of Hunting Lot, 1 mile from David Roop's Mill, near mouth of Beaver Dam creek, possessed by Peter Wampler, Frederick County, deceased - David Wampler, trustee.' [ i. F. Edward Wright, "Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (Vol. 2), 1799-1805," Family Line Publ., Silver Spring, MD; 1986, item 573, "Frederick-Town Herald," 19 Mar 1803.] From the information given in this notice one can determine that the property was located in present -day Johnsville District, Frederick County. Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek. A German Baptist, or Dunkard, church was situated northeast of Johnsville, close to Beaver Dam Creek, and it is known that the Martin Garber family who bought land in this area in 1771 was active in the German Baptist community."

a. "Joh. Jacob Wampler, b. 28 Sep 1749, PA, md. 12 Oct 1788 (lic. issued 21 Mar 1788), Frederick Co., MD, Mary Bare/Behr; witnesses at the marriage were Henrich Gernhardt and Jacob Hohl. In the 1790 census, Jacob Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, with one male of 16 years and upward, one male under 16, and two females comprising his household. The 1810 census of the same counyy lists an M. Wampler (female), and the 1820 census lists a Mary Wampler as a head of family. Likely these entries pertain to Mary, wife of Jacob Wampler. If so, he probably died before 1810. The official poll of the presidential election in Frederick County held in Nov. 1796 shows that Jacob Wampler voted for Geo. Murdock, Elector for the Democrat-Republican party. In 1796 there was no secret ballot. A Frederick newspaper notice printed on 20 Dec 1797 states: 'Caution from purchasing bonds given by use to a Jacob Hull - Joseph Greenwald, Jacob Wampler, John Giger.' "

2. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

4. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, pp. 28-29, mentions this child in regard to an 1803 sale of a piece of property after the death of Barbara Wampler: "After his marriage, Peter Wampler continued to live in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County until at least 1759... By 1762 Peter Wampler was paying taxes in Reading Twp., Adams (then York) County PA, and on 7 Aug 1765 he was granted Warrant No. 2577 for 200 acres of land in Reading Township; the land was surveyed on 10 Dec 1765. In 1770 Peter Wampler purchased land in Frederick Co., Maryland, and he lived there until his death in 1792. His name also appears in land records of 1775, 1787, and 1792-94. The tracts which he bought in the 1770s were named 'Park Hall (or Pork Hill)' and 'Mattingsly.' It is known that these tracts are situated in the western part of present-day Carroll County, in the vicinity of New Windsor. A deed executed on 5 June 1792, shortly before his death, gives his occupation as 'Weaver.' Thus he followed the tradition of his European ancestors who had practiced the trade of weaving. A deed executed in 1793 (after his death) pertains to a 126-acre tract called "The Resurvey of Hunting Lot' which he had bought from Philip Fishburn and which according to his will, was to belong to his wife during her widowhood. In the 1790 census, Peter Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, MD, with two males of 16 years and upward, one male under 16 years, and three females comprising his household. Peter wrote his will on 8 Jun 1792, naming Martin Gerber/Garber Sr. as his executor, with Joshua Howard, Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler as witnesses. The will was probated on 30 Jun 1792... On 9 Feb 1796 the executor, Martin Gerber/Garber submitted his account to the Orphan's Court. He reported assets of 1561 pounds, 11 shillings, 1 penny, payments on behalf of the estate totaling 331.18.9, leaving a balance due the heirs of 1229.12.4. Among the payments were 270 pounds paid to Philip Fishburn (evidently to complete the purchase of a tract of land), various sums related to building a house for the widow as had been stipulated in Peter's will (including 9 shillings 9 pence paid to Jno. Grabell 'for whiskey for workmen'), and a legacy of 20 pounds which the testator left to Martin Garber 'for his trouble in settling the estate.' Abraham Hartman, one of Peter Wampler's sons-in-law, is mentioned as a workman on the widow's house. At the end of the executor's account is a statement: 'Then came Martin Garver, who being a Dunker, solemnly affirmed and declared that the aforegoing Acct is just and true as it stands stated...' Earlier, when the will was presented for probate, a similar statement was made: 'Then Abraham Crumbacker and Philip Engler, two of the subscribing witnesses to the aforegoing... will... solemnly affirmed and declared that they did see the Testator therein named Sign and Seal this will...' One can conclude that these two witnesses, as well as the executor, were of the Dunkard faith. Like the Quakers, the Dunkers refused to take oaths because of religious scruples; instead, they 'solemnly affirmed and declared' any statements which they were required to make in legal proceedings. According to Guy Edgar Wampler Jr., a 4th-great grandson of Hans Peter Wampler, Hans Peter became affiliated with the Dunkers in the 1760s... One matter remained to be settled after the death of Barbara Wampler in 1800. Peter Wampler had devised to his wife during her widowhood all the land that he had bought of Philemon Fishburn, and after her marriage or death this land was to be sold by his executor. The executor, Martin Garber, however, died before this duty could be discharged. Thus the matter fell into the domain of the Chancery Court.

The Testator left the following children and heirs: David Wampler, Jacob, John, Daniel and Joseph Wampler; Barbara wife of John Warts; Eve wife of Henry Kinzig (Kinsey); Phebe wife of Jacob Engler; Christiana wife of Peter Graybill; Ane wife of Abraham Hartman; and Jacob Snider. On 4 Sep 1802 the court appointed David Wampler as trustee to sell the land; sureties were named. On 26 Mar 1803, the trustee, David Wampler, reported that the tract of land, known as 'The Resurvey of Hunting Lott,' had been sold to John Fox for 470 pounds 5 shillings.

Beaver Dam Creek flows northward through Johnsville District and runs into Little Pipe Creek.

a. "David Wampler, b. 1765, PA; d. 25 Mar 1842 (at age 77), Montgomery Co., OH; bur. at Dunkard Cem., Taylorsburg, Randolph Twp., Montgomery Co., OH. mar. (1) MD, Catherine Englar, b. 27 Jul 1763, PA, d. 14 Jan 1824, MD; bur. at Ambrose-Leatherman Cemetery, near Myersville, MD.; md. (2) 1824, Montgomery Co., Oh, Mary ( - -) Senseney, d. 9 Sep 1848, Montgomery Co., OH; bur. at Fort McKinley Cemetery, Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., OH. David Wampler lived in Maryland until 1824 when he moved to near Dayton, Montgomery County, OH. David's first wife, Catherine, was the eldest dau. of Philip Englar (1736-1817) and his wife Margaret Holverstot (1742-1819), natives of Europe who settled in Maryland in 1764. David's second wife, Mary, was the widow of Isaac Senseney (ca. 1766-1804) of Carroll (then Frederick) Conty, Md. Isaac and Mary Senseney were the parents of five children: John and Isaac Senseney, Mary who married Jacob Cook, Elisabeth who married George Winter, and Catherine who married George McGee. David Wampler bought a tract of land in Frederick County, MD, in 1793, and his name appears in other Frederick Co. land records up to 1822. Tax assessment records of 1798 show that he then owned land in present-day Carroll (then Frederick) County. When he sold a tract called 'The Range' on Little Pipe Creek, near New Windsor, on 5 Apr 1822, his wife Catherine relinquished her right of dower. He had purchased this tract in 1817 from the heirs of Isaac Senseney among whom was Isaac's widow Mary. The same Mary Senseney would later become David's second wife. A history of the Englar family states that "David Wampler was deacon of Pipe Creek (church) before he moved to Ohio in 1826 (sic)." The German Baptist, or Dunkard, church known as Pipe Creek (organized in 1758) was located close to Little Pipe Creek, between New Windsor and Uniontown. In 1824 David and Catherine Wampler were living in the Middletown Valley of Frederick County, MD. A month after Catherine died, David had a public sale of his livestock and farming utensils, and soon afterward he moved to Montgomery County, Ohio. His marriage to Mary Senseney took place in Ohio later in 1824. He was listed as a taxpayer in Montgomery County, Ohio, in 1825. His will written 13 Aug 1841 and recorded in Montgomery County, Ohio, in April 1842, made bequests to his wife Mary, his granddaughter Margaret Wampler of Montgomery Co., OH (dau. of Samuel Wampler, deceased); his granddaughter Amanda Wampler of Montgomery Co., OH (dau. of Daniel Wampler, deceased); and granddaughters Julia Ann Johnson and Ann Maria Brown of Frederick County, MD; he stated that he had already given his son Philip Wampler by way of advancement his full share of the estate. The will of Mary Wampler, David's widow, was recorded in 1848. She left her estate to her five children by Isaac Senseney, and she made a conditional bequest to a granddaughter, Eliza Cook. Her son, Isaac Senseney, was named to be her executor."
b. Issue by Catherine (sequence unknown):
i. Phillip E. Wampler, b. 10 Jan 1790, MD; d. 1 May 1878, Montgomery Co., OH; bur. at Ft. McKinley Cem., Madison Township, Montgomery Co., OH., md. 27 Apr 1815, Baltimore Co., MD, Catherine Royer, b. 21 Feb 1797; d. 28 Sep 1867, Montgomery Co., OH; bur. at same cemetery; dau. of Peter Royer (1775-1842) and his wife Anna Roop (ca. 1775-1858) of Carroll Co., MD. Philip was an elder of the German Baptist (Dunkard) church. In 1825 or 1826 he and his family moved from Carroll (then Frederick) County,MD, to Montgomery Co., Ohio. [The book has a transcription of an 1830 letter from Catherine Royer Wampler to her mother with many relatives listed including her brother-in-law: "Daniel Wampler is in very poor state of health since last summer and its very doubty if he will recover." The book also lists issue of 12 children and 112 grandchildren of this couple.

3245 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I cannot prove that Rebekah was related as a sibling to Roger Brown even though I currently temporarily list her as a sister. Her listing here is merely speculation. I have found the following statements. Note that the deed transcribed below is based on 100 acres which would have been the immigration bounty amount given as described in the first item below. Also the deed sounds a bit overdone which to me would be more indicative of sibling rivalry than a mother passing land to a son. On the other hand it could be a sister-in-law, but the deed does not call her a widow. Also of interest is that Roger does name one of his daughters Rebecca - perhaps a family name.
A. 27 Feb 2005 website http://indianasocietysar.org/browmatt.html. The site notes: information provided by Paul Revere DAR Chapter, Muncie, Indiana. Most of the information was given to me on June 3, 2004 by Mary Ann Bumgarner . In speaking of Mathew Brown's heritage, she notes: "...He immigrated before 1 Sep 1767; "The following Browns left Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland, arrived onboard the Brittania in Charlestown, SC and petitioned for land on Sept. 1, 1767 under the Bounty Act of 1761: Robert, Sr. petitioned for 300 acres, equivalent for himself, a wife and three children age fifteen or under. Ann age 42. Mathew age 12. William age 8. Elizabeth age 2. Robert, Sarah, Mary, Roger, John and Rebekah petitioned for 100 acres each, meaning they were all single and sixteen years of age or older."

2. FHL book 975.7W2r, 1968, "A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina 1763-1773," comp. by Janie Revill. This book states: "The immigrants listed in this volume were protestant refugees from Europe who came to South Carolina on the encouragement of an Act passed by the General Assembly of the Colony on July 25, 1761 called the Bounty Act. A copy of the Act is not available. It is referred to in the published Statues of So. Carolina... It was a broadening of earlier immigration laws, for the special benefit of these religious refugees. Applicants had to have certificates showing that they were protestants and entitled to receive the benefits allowed by the new Bounty Act, which was evidently modified and renewed from time to time." The dates are for approval of bounties and not necessarily date of immigration even though each group appears to have recently arrived and each listed group was probably from the same ship. The following names are included:
Council Journal, 33, page 145, meeting of 28 May, 1767, these two names together in sequence:
Andrew Adair - 450 acres. [No known relation.]
Alice Adair - 100 acres. [No known relation.]
Council Journal, 33, pages 150-157, meeting of 28 May 1767, these four names together in sequence:
Mary Adair
Alex'dr Adair
James Adair
Margaret Adair
Council Journal, 33, pages 229-234, meeting of 1 Sept. 1767, these seven names together in sequence:
Robert Brown - 100 acres.
Robert Brown, Sen'r - 300 acres.
Sarah Brown - 100 acres.
Mary Brown - 100 acres.
Roger Brown - 100 acres. [Father of Rebecca Brown who marries Thomas Adair?]
John Brown - 100 acres.
Rebekah Brown - 100 acres. [Most likely Roger's sister later married to Mr. Bishop.]

3. The book "Laurens County South Carolina - Minutes of the County Court, 1786-1789," by Brent H. Holcomb, SCMar, Columbia, South Carolina, 2004. The book notes: "This is a record that has only been recently found after being lost for so many years. It is incomplete missing the first 54 pages, pages 103-126, and an unknown number of pages at the end of the volume. There is at least one other volume, still missing, covering the years 1790-1799." It also notes: "Laurens County was formed in 1785 as a county of Ninety Six District. In that year justices of the peace were elected by the General Assembly to be administrators of the county courts. Within the pages of these court minutes are small court cases, lists of deeds presented to be recorded, applications for administrations on estates and wills proved (beginning in 1787), jury lists, petitions of various kinds, appointments for various offices, apprenticeships, estray animals tolled, and other items. The cases heard for debt or damages could not exceed £50, and cases heard for personal damages could not exceed £20. Criminal cases heard could not call for the loss of life or corporal punishment. Larger court cases were heard in the district courts, such as Ninety-Six." There are many Adair and related family entries. The following are for Roger Brown. On the entry on pg. 183, Colleen Gwynn [cghistree@msn.com] comments on Rebecca who may be the sister of Roger Brown: "The Rebecca Brown now Bishop matches with a deed between Rebecca Brown and Roger Brown in Laurens County, S.C. Deed Book; however, the deed made no mention of Brown now Bishop as this record does. The amount of property matches. This may be the clue to Rebecca's married surname." The quotations:
Pg. 64, 17 Mar 1786: "Roger Brown Plt vs. John Rogers Deft. Attachment. This day Came the Plt. and the Attach't being Returned Executed on a Bay horse the Property of the Deft, and the Deft not appearing to Replevy the same, it is considered by the Court that the Plt. recover against the said Deft. His Debt amounting to £2 s3 sterling and his cost by him in this behalf expended and the said Deft. in Mercy &C."
Orderd that the Sheriff Expose to publick the said horse by him attach't the property of the Deftt and pay the money arising from such sale to the Plt Towards Satisfaction of his Debt and Cost aforesaid and the overplus if any there be Return to the Deft."

Pg. 230, 9 Jun 1788: Roger Brown was drawn to serve as Pettit Jurour at the next court to be held for this county on the second Monday in September next.
Pg. 237, 10 Jun 1788: Concerning the case of William Hanna vs Benjn Rainey: "On application of Roger Brown on oath a Witness for the Plft against the said Deft Ordered that the sum of 27 shillings and 6 pence for eleven days attendance at 2/6 P'r day be taxed in the bill of cost against the Deft."

Pg. 263, 11 Sep 1788: Roger Brown named to the jury in the case of John Martin vs. John Wallace. In T.A. & Battery.
Pg. 265, 12 Sep 1788: "Wm Terry vs Lewis Duvall & Wm. Brown. This Day came the Defts & the Plft tho Solemnly Call'ed Came not: nor is his suit further Prosecuted. Therefor on motion of the Deft it is consdered by the Court that the s'd Deft Recover against the s'd Plft five Shillings Damages besides their Cost by them about their Defence in this behalf Expended.
On motion made on oath by Roger Brown a witness for the Plft against the said Deft Ordered that the sad Plft pay him the sum of 30/ for 12 day attendance at 2/6 P'r day."

BIRTH:
1. Based upon having to be age 16 at the time of the 1767 immigration bounty land deeded to Rebeckah Brown and that her brother, if in fact she is a sibling to Mathew Brown, notes in his Rev. War Pension application that he was born in Wexford Co., Ireland.

3248 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I have been in communication with Paula Haymon of Maryland who is a descendant of Jane Mangum and George Crawford. Paula is working on establishing Jane as the daughter of John Mangum and Rebecca Mangum. There is nothing but circumstantial evidence that is somewhat compelling. Many records show Jane married to Jedediah M. Brown, but there has never been any proof of this except for an undocumented note in the Mangum book by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale. On the other hand, the website has the county list of marriages of Itawamba County, Mississippi. Samuel Adair performed a marriage between her and George Crawford on 8 Jun 1841. Samuel would have been Jane's brother-in-law since he was married to Jane's sister Jemima. Jane Mangum and her husband did not follow all the other Mangums and Adairs to Iowa/Utah/Arizona. The 7 Oct 1919 written testimony of Samuel Newton Adair wherein he states Jeney Mangum, daughter of John and Rebecca Mangum married George Crawford, is the compelling link eliminating Jedediah Brown and adding George Crawford. Samuel would have been in a good position to have known this. As a side note, the names Jane and Jeney [Jenny] have long been accepted as interchangeable names for Jane. Paula's data is at the following Ancestry.com website: . She notes: "I have located a Cyrus Mangum whom I believe to be the son of John, in Pickens County, AL in 1840 and 1850, and Lavaca County, TX in 1860. I have the names of some of his children from these census records on my Ancestry.com site. I do not have the surname of his wife, however in 1850 and 1860 her first name is given as Lucinda. I began this search on him as my ancestor since Jane Mangum Crawford named a son John Cyrus. I wanted to determine if her father was Cyrus or John. Although most genealogies list Jane Mangum, daughter of John as married to a Jedediah Brown, I have a primary record for Jane Mangum's marriage to George Crawford in Itawamba County, MS in 1841. The Cyrus Mangum family [Kerry's note: Cyrus was John's son through his second wife Gemima Goggins.]:
Father: Cyrus Mangum, b: 1803 in South Carolina [Kerry's note: Newberry, Newberry, SC.]
Mother: Lucinda Unknown, b: 1812 in South Carolina
Children per Census of Pickens County, AL for 1850 and Census of Lavaca County, TX for 1860 US:
Mary Mangum, Sex: F Birth: 1830. Marriage: John Turman, b: 1822 in Tennessee, married: 1850 in Pickens County, AL. (Logical conclusions: I have placed Mary Turman in Cyrus's family as they lived near each other in both 1850 and 1860. I am not certain that his daughter in 1830 census is Mary but, here is what I've found. The daughter in the "Under 5" category of the 1830 Pickens County, AL census would have been 20-24 years old in 1850. As she was the only child in 1830, some conclusions may be drawn. (1) Cyrus and Lucinda were probably married within the past year or two. (2) With no other children, this makes her probably under two, highly likely to be under one and born in 1830. (2) Therefore, her age in 1850 is most likely toward the low end of the 20-24 range and is most probably 20. On page 11a of the Pickens County, AL., 1850 census, one page away from the Cyrus Mangum family, are Mary (20, b. in AL) and John Terman (28 b in TN). In 1860 in Lavaca County, TX, on page 193, the family immediately above Cyrus Mangum is Mary and John Turman, ages 30 and 38 with birthplaces of AL and TN, respectively.)
David Mangum, Sex: M Birth: 1833
Elizabeth Mangum, Sex: F Birth: 1836
Warren Mangum, Sex: M, Birth: 1837
Nancy Mangum, Sex: F, Birth: 1840
Alaham Mangum, Sex: M, Birth: 1844
John Mangum, Sex: M, Birth: 1850"

4. Email of Luella Mangum January 26, 2004:
"Cyrus Mangum's wife was Lucinda O'Daniel. Her parents were William O'Daniel and Mary Carolina Abercrombie. Mary Carolina was the widow of Benj. Williams. Both William and Mary C. were born in Laurens Co., S.C. She died in 1849 in Pickens Co. AL. He died 1838 in Pickens Co. Cyrus and Lucinda O'Daniel's children were: David (1833/36), James Warren Jan. 3, 1838, Nancy 1841, Lucinda "Alabama" 1844, Wiley C. 1846, Samuel 1848 or 9, John Abercrombie 1849 (Uvalde Records) m. Helen Steel 1884, William B. 1853 m. Darling Franks Rufus S. b. 1855. There were 3 other children, Permelia A., EDray, and Rhoda that were born from 1836-42 that died young. Cyrus d. 1862 is buried in the Old Moulton Cemetery in Moulton, TX. So is Lucinda."
"Cyrus is buried in my "Moore" family plot in Moulton, Texas. My husband and I were at a reunion for the Moore's/Winters/Crouch's and browsing the family fenced area. I am married to Richard Mangum and he discovered the tombstone. Being curious I went to Jacquellne M. Allen our family researcher (and she does document) to see what she knew. William O'Daniel c. 1775 married Mary Abercrombie as I said before. Their children were Mary, (she married William Moore), my line. Josiah Dial (M. Drucilla Maxwell), Rhoda (M. Abraham Bylers), Pamelia (m. Samuel Butler), Lucinda (m.. Cyrus Mangum), James (m Elizabeth Scallorn), Abercrombie (don't know). By Mary's first marriage she had Isabella Williams (m. Elijah Harris) and Benjamine Sherrill Williams (m. Edna Hitt)."
" Here is part of an article from an Uvalde book, p812, that Jackie sent me. J. A. Mangum - John Abercrombie Mangum, a descendant of the famous English general and proud to bear his name, was born in Pickens Co., Ala., March 20, 1849. His parents were Cyrus and Lucindia O'Daniel Mangum. Cyrus had inherited a large plantation from his father. He moved to Lavaca Co., Tx. in 1856 and operated his large farm there. They were staunch Methodists and supporters of the South. He, his son-in-law, John Calhoune Turman, and eldest son, David, enlisted in the Confederate Army. He came home to die of wounds and exposure in 1862. His wife and sons operated the farm until her death in 1880. At that time the family sold the property and all moved to Uvalde, buying adjoining ranches in both Uvalde and Zavalla Counties."

There is no apparent direct interaction between the two earliest Egg Harbor and Dover Winner men (John 1775 and Isaac 1783), but that does not preclude a connection back to Bucks county. (Exception: See Gary Coon's email in a separate note below that possibly associates some Doughtys with the Dover Winner who moved to Ohio.) I have already established Dover Isaac being Isaac Jr., son of Isaac Sr of Buck County and that he married Hannah Searl in 1776. Interestingly, and perhaps significantly, Egg Harbor John first appears in the 1775 Egg Harbor tax returns; however, we see a John in Northampton Twp. (and Abraham Winner) in the 1773-4 tax returns - John then basically disappears from Northampton. Most importantly, in a separate note above, I have transcribed a 1787 deed between Abraham "of Northampton" and John "of Great Egg Harbor." So Abraham and John probably have a strong relationship and both may be of the same generation as Dover Isaac if in fact not all brothers. (See separate note above of NJ Supreme Court 1783-85 case involving Abraham and Isaac Winner in Burlington Co. vs. Jacob Shinn, which seems to establish probably Dover Isaac and Abraham as close relations if not brothers.) They may all then be brothers or at least very close cousins. From what I have found so far, no one has really done a good job of outlining the connections at Bucks county. Perhaps my theory of Northampton Abraham, Good Egg John, and Dover Isaac will prove out more certainly in the future as we are able to make more links; meanwhile, here is reference material on John (in addition to what I have in other separate notes herein):
A. From my own research as into early NJ Winner probates detailed elsewhere in these notes, I construct the following Egg Harbor groups:
Family #1 (Egg Harbor):
-John Winner and Millicent Mapes (-1806), dau. of Joseph Mapes
-Amos
-John, Jr. (-1823) and probable wife Abigail (probate administrator)
-Possibly others (will states "all my children")
Family #2 (Egg Harbor): [This would be son of John Jr. in family #1.]
-John (-1839) and probable wife Harriet (probate administrator)
Family #3 (Egg Harbor): [This would be son of John Jr. in family #1.]
-Thomas D. Winner (-1868) and wife Ann
-Margaret (-bef 1868)
-George S.
-Mary
-Thomas D. (under age 14 in 1868; d. 1893)
-Margaret (under age 14 in 1868)
B. FHL films 851702 and 854018 are Quaker minutes involving Great Egg Harbor filmed from originals at Rutgers University. Various films deal with various localites. Unfortunately, this collection is someone's poorly written worksheets that are sketchy and hard to read. There is a page at the beginning of the films warning that these are not original records, but secondary work papers that should be used cautiously. Evidently the compiler was working from some source and upon studying it, I find it helpful in reconstructing the family of John Winner who died 23 Oct 1823 ("John, Jr., who I have shown as the son of John and Millicent (Mapes) Winner). It is titled "Winner, Somers Pt., Sculltown." It gives us the following descendancy chart for which I may be off on some dates from inability to read the author's "scrawl":
John Winner, d. 23 Oct 1823, married May 9, 1812 to Abigail Doughty (b. 1789, d. 20 Feb 1876 at age 86.7.24, who married second ___ Holdcraft. Children:
-Daniel, d. 2 Nov [Mar. or May?] 1827.
-James, d. 29 Aug 1836.
-Capt. John, d. 6 Nov (Dec) 1837.
-Thos. D., b. 1 Apr 1818, d. 13 May 1828 [Apparently something is off on these dates.] Married first Marg't D. Scull, b. 25 [May?] 1829, d. 25 [May?] 1864 (dau. of Richard Scull, d. ? Feb 1856 and [unreadable], b. ? July 1797, d. 18 Nov 1872. Married second Ann ( ) Edwards, a widow. Children of first marriage:
-Geo. s. Winner, b. at Part Richmond. Associated with Bargaintown, Atlantic Co., 4-1/3 mi. N. of Somer Pt.
-Marg. md. [unreadable: ___ Gawson or Garmore?].
-Amelia. Had granddaughter Miss J. G. Winner.
From what I gather on the Internet, Abigail Doughty's second husband was William Holdcraft. Apparently there was an association with the Quakers considering the source in which this information is located. More on this in the next notes below.

a. 20 May 2007 from Kris ___ :
"I have been doing research on this family for some time... Abigail is the mother of Harriet James Winner who first married John D. Winner, Jr. (often with the appellation Captain). Harriet James' mother was Sarah James. Her daughter was Abigail. I think that the Scull Bible records show that Harriet was a good friend of the family, which is why the first child was named after her. Often in the middle of the century, a very sentimental time, children were named for good friends and not always for relatives. Also very sentimental, Harriet James Winner wrote a poem to commemorate her husband's tragic death (he was thrown overboard in a storm), which left her free to marry her good friend's husband after Mary Blackman died. Abigail did indeed marry first John Winner, sometimes Jr and sometimes Sr. depending on when the documents identifying him were prepared. John Winner and Abigail did have the five children listed, the two boys died young, the remaining three (Thomas, Amelia and John) were under the care of their mother and divided their father's property after some legal finagling. John Sr. had at least two siblings, Joseph and Amos. I am getting a lot of info on Joseph, not much on Amos, because he may have died young as well. Their father was John Winner that married Millicent Mapes. I agree with others that have shared info that he first married Hannah Carr and had a son Samuel who died very young as did Hannah. There is a very strong connection with Abraham of Northampton, I think (but have no proof) that he was the elder John's brother. My connection with this particular group of Winners is probably through this Joseph from Great Egg Harbour who married Millicent Caveller (Cavalier) in 1803 and about whom I know nothing. She may have died and he may have married again - I am trying to pinpoint how it fits together as I don't have any evidence of his children. I am "assuming" that he had a son named Joseph, who was born in 1822 in NJ and lived most of his life in Williamstown - I know that I am connected to the Williamstown Joseph. I have photographs of Abigail et al's gravestones that I took recently on a visit to NJ..."
b. 20 May 2007 from Karen Winner :
"I'm Karen Winner and live in Philadelphia. ...on the Somers Point/Pleasantville Winners... One thing I have is about Amos, son of John Winner and Millicent Mapes. He married Mary Brackney (from Burlington) September 5, 1805. There are also military records for him which say he was in the War of 1812 and in the War with Algiers in 1815 (which I never heard of before!). He was discharged July 10, 1817 with a "surgeons certificate of disability." I have a note that's just an idea - that two of Amos' and Mary's children might be daughters (1) Susanna who married a Joseph Githens and (2) Milicent. Don't know where I might have gotten this idea. I have something about John Jr. complaining in court about his brother Amos and that he did not pay for land in Great Egg Harbor that came from their father. Amos was out of state, but hears about the suit and comes back and sells the land in question through the sheriff to John in 1812. This came from "Gloucester Deeds" - reel #13 in the NJ archives. I also have very little information about the Joseph you mention - and nothing about Millicent Cavaller. There are some deeds that involve John. He was postmaster at Somers Point in 1811. He was a judge in 1814 - and some other things. You probably have all of that. There was also a court case where John Winner and Japhet Townsend sue Joseph Winner for court costs - in 1816. I have been wondering if the John who was married to Hannah Carr and then M. Mapes might have been the son of Abraham Winner in Mt. Holly. Though, I've got nothing that makes me sure about that. Or John could be his brother, as you say. John married Hannah Carr in 1776 and Abraham married Mary Thatcher in 1769. The closeness in dates might mean that they are brothers. At Swarthmore Quaker Archives I found a card that lists the children of Caleb Carr and his wife Sarah. There were 8 kids listed. Mary, Job, Samuel, Isaac, Hannah, Samuel, Sarah & Rebeckah. What's interesting about this is that there are two Samuels. The first Samuel was born in 1754 and lives until 1832. Hannah was born in 1759 and died in 1778. But the second Samuel, listed after her, has no dates listed for birth or death. This could mean that this was Hannah's son and they both died in childbirth? Though when I first saw this card I took it to mean that the child ended up living with her parents. Why I thought that I don't know! Also, I have a John Winner who married a Polly Headly in Mt. Holly in 1811. Have no idea who this John is, though."

3. The case for a relationship of the early New Jersey residents Isaac Winner of Dover Township in Monmouth Co., Abraham Winner of Northampton Township in Burlington Co., and John Winner of Great Egg Harbor in Gloucester Co. to Isaac Winner Sr. of Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. Prepared 22 Nov 2011 by Kerry Petersen .
There are two basic groups of Winners circa the Revolutionary War and post era in New Jersey. The oldest are the Winnes of northern New Jersey who derive from the Dutch immigrant Pieter Winne of New Amsterdam and eventually Albany, New York. Their genealogical descendancy is conclusively presented in detail in "The Dutch Settlers Society of Albany Yearbook," v. 40 (1964-1966), pp. 6-28. A branch of this family ended up in upstate New Jersey and we easily follow them in New Jersey probate and other documents. They retained their Dutch roots even in the era of our discussion. They are all accounted for and they remain distinctly separate from our group of Winners. Unfortunately, some of the northern records indiscriminately interchange the surnames Winne and Winner for these families, which has led to confusion. An early Winner researcher from the 1950s, Enid Willardson, spent a lifetime trying to seek a connection from our Winners back through the Winnes, but failed in so doing even after amassing over 3000 Winne names. I have personally reviewed her workpapers after her decease and the tentative connection she contrived to make does not stand up to scrutiny and more modern research. Regrettably it was picked up by the old LDS Ancestral File based upon her submission and has since bled through to many unsuspecting user-submitted online databases. It is not my purpose to detail the Winnes; however, before linking our three early Winners under discussion, it was critical to eliminate the Winne family as a possible ancestry. Suffice it to say that this was done.
This then directs us to look to neighboring Bucks County for the source of our Winners. Any study of early New Jersey records in the three counties we are discussing quickly leads to the conclusion that there were no Winners reported there before our three Winner men. They came from elsewhere then New Jersey. Lets review first Isaac of Dover since his link to Bucks county is easiest to assemble. My descendancy comes from Isaac. We will then link Isaac to Abraham and then Abraham and John.
Isaac WINNER of DOVER:
The following is circumstantial, but very compelling nevertheless. First, I made comprehensive search of all early Winners in both New Jersey and Bucks co., Pennsylvania (abstracts available in the notes of the earliest Winner in my PAF files). With such a comprehensive overview of these early Winners and by process of elimination, I have found a pattern which I believe establishes and follows the ancestry of the earliest Isaac Winner of Dover Twp., Monmouth Co., NJ. - who is our first ancestor in that area. This is my thinking:
Isaac's son Jonathan (who married Sarah Predmore) in the 1850 census in Brown Co., OH, indicates he was born abt. 1778 in Pennsylvania - this is even though we know he was in Dover Twp. circa 1812. Jonathan's birth with him being the first born of Isaac would logically lead us to a marriage there for about 1776. (See separate research into the descendants of Isaac Winner, who also include: Ohio residents John Winner and Hester Ann Mason, Isaac Winner and Mary Catherine Powell, Samuel Winner; California resident George K. Winner; and Monmouth residents Rueben H. Winner and Amy Winner who m. 1. Charles Soper and 2. Jacob Creby/Creeley.)
Another link to Pennsylvania is found with Isaac's son, Isaac (bro. of Jonathan), who is reported to have married his wife Mary Catherine Powell in Philadelphia, PA, per the published biography of Isaac and Mary's son John Leopold Winner (see their notes for transcript).
We also have a personal family history memoir from Isabel (Lambert) Winner, wife of James4 Winner (Benjamin3, Jonathan2, Isaac1) who states that the Winners were from Pennsylvania, probably Bucks county. (Source: 20 Jun 2004 email from descendant Gary Coon who descends from Arnold Coon, Clara Wilding, Leoni Winner, then James.)
Interestingly, we find some records in Bucks county (and New Jersey) that fit the pattern.
A. "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson, Marriage Licenses from New Jersey Colonial Documents: "Winner, Isaac, Bucks, PA, and Hannah Searl, Bucks, PA, 1776 Nov. 9." (Familysearch, source film 888709, vol. W, p. 474.) Note that this date fits perfectly with Jonathan's birth discussed above while establishing a link with Bucks County and NJ. In doing an Internet search for this couple on 20 Nov 2011, absolutely no hits were found - this means that this particular couple has never been linked into a family tree or written up on the web even though the marriage record clearly exists. Many with Quaker backgrounds would "marry out of meeting" which would explain a marriage license over the border for two Bucks Co. residents (i.e. a trip to Las Vegas for a no-question marriage).
B. We find only one Isaac Winner in Bucks Co., PA, in the early records. Note however that all of a sudden in 1778/1779 we see both an Isaac Sr. and Jr. together in Middletown. Isaac Jr. shows as married, which concurs with the 1776 marriage discussed above. It also shows Isaac Jr. being in Pennsylvania at the time of the birth of Jonathan in 1778. References to Isaacs in Middletown return to one after 1779 then disappear after 1781. Perhaps Isaac Sr. died thereafter, but more importantly we see our Isaac in the Dover Twp., NJ tax records beginning 1783.

Summary: I believe that we are seeing our Isaac, his wife Hannah Searle, and Isaac's father, Isaac, in the above records. Until proven otherwise, I am considering this our ancestral line.
Abraham WINNER of NORTHAMPTON (aka Abraham of Mount Holly):
Abraham is not my direct line so I don't have as much research on his descendants; however, much has been published on Abraham himself. First let's establish what is more or less known from solid sources as well as the Internet about him and then I will introduce my own additional documentation that I believe links Isaac to Abraham.
A. First record of Abraham per FHL book 974.961 V2c "Burlington County Marriages," by H Stanley Craig (1932, rep. 2003), pp. 95, 233, 248: Abraham Winner - Mary Thatcher, 9-13-1769. Variant from FHL film 1320671, it. 5, the book "Historical and Genealogical Miscellany, Data Relating to the Settlement and Settlers of New York and New Jersey," by John E. Stillwell (Baltimore, 1970), p. 72, "Register of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, N.J.": "Married - Abraham Winner & Mary Hatcher, both of Burlington County, were lawfully married, Septem'r 3d 1769, at Mountholly." From the Internet it appears St. Mary's was an Episcopal Church. It is probable that this was an intentional marriage outside of Quaker meeting similar to Isaac's.
B. "Revolutionary Census of NJ," by Kenn Stryker-Rodda; List I (1773 & 1774): Abraham Winnor - Northhampton, Burlington Co.
C. Abraham (Winnor and Winner): Northampton, Burlington Co. Various Lists: 1774, 1787.
D. From "Old Inns and Taverns," by Charles Boyer, p. 49: "Another early tavern keeper was Abraham Winner, whose house was located on the north side of Gaskill's Lane, now Woodlane, near the old Quaker Meeting House. On April 22, 1776, he gave a mortgage to Joseph Butterworth on this property,vwhich had probably then been discontinued as a tavern."

(Note that there is also a Caleb Carr on the same tax list with 250 acres; I believe that the father of Hannah Carr who married John Winner in 1776 was Caleb Carr.)

M. I include the following just so I can refute it. From the Internet accessed 21 Nov 2011: "Gloucester County Historical Society - Oct, 9, 1969 from Ernistene Siegel, 1906 Watrous Ave, Tampa, FL 33606: "...there was an Abraham Winner of Mt. Holly, who was a tavern keeper there before the out break of the Rev War, and who is still there in 1787. This Abraham Winner was a descendant of Capt. James Winner, who was in Colonel McCrea's Regiment in the Revolutionary War. As a note, Captain James Winner was in Col. McCrea's regiment when they returned Levies, Fort Edward July 21, 1780. A return of Levies raised from Saraghtoga Regiment. And Now in actual service at Fort Ann under the command of Capt. Sherman, John McCrea, Colo. August 11th, 1780. No. 3092 Return of Levies from Colonel McCrea's Regiment. Fort Edward July 21 the 1780. " My comments: there is no document saying our Abraham is the son of Capt. Winner. Basic research shows that Col. James McCrea's local militia group was of Albany, New York and did not involve men from so far away as New Jersey since Col. McCrea's battles were in upstate New York. The Levies only mention a Capt. Winner, not James Winner. Albany was the seat of the Dutch Winnes, which is not our group. Changing the subject, the author Ernestine Siegel has published work on her ancestor James Winner who served in the Rev. War as part of the Bucks County Regulators. She has determined that he was a son of the same Isaac Winner Sr. to whom we linked Isaac Winner Jr. James is also father of the Lycoming Co., PA, Winners. Miss Siegel has published a pamphlet and a book on the subject which I am still reviewing. She does name the wife of Isaac Sr. as Rebecca ___.
Now to discuss ties of Abraham and Isaac - I found the following:
A. In the New Jersey State Archives in Supreme Court cases, I found the following which I believe is significant. We have already surmised above that Dover Isaac was almost certainly the son of Isaac Sr. of Middletown, Bucks Co., and that he married in 1776, left there shortly after 1779, and then shows up in 1783 in Dover. All of a sudden for just a very short time an Isaac shows up in Burlington as plaintiff with Abraham in a court case that begins in 1783. There is no Isaac before nor after in the area and the timeframe dovetails right into the sweet spot of 1779 to 1883 when Isaac is between Bucks Co. and Dover Township. The court cases:
-39304: Isaac and Abraham Winner vs. Jacob Shinn 1783-85 held at Burlington, Burlington Co.
-44555: Isaac Winner. Poor copy and I can't read any of the details. It is dated 1783 and is probably the same Isaac as above.
B. This statement is found on the Internet but without any source. We can't use it for documentation, but it is prescient: "Abraham had relatives in Bucks Co. who were Quakers - Isaac Sr and Jacob Winner."
Summary: We know Abraham did not have a son named Isaac at that time and it would be unusual to be partners with a cousin, so a conclusion of a brotherly connection is not out-of line. We could always argue it wasn't Isaac Jr., but Isaac Sr. who disappears from the scene in Bucks Co. in 1781 - but either way it ties Abraham to Isaac Sr.
John WINNER of GREAT EGG HARBOR:
There is much good documentation on this John and not necessary to repeat everything here. He apparently had two marriages.
The first marriage is per "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson: "Winner, John, Northampton, and Hannah Carr, Northampton, 1776 April 1." According to "The Carr Book," by Arthur R. Carr, 1947, Hannah was b. 10 Sep 1759 to Caleb Carr and she died 9 Aug 1778 in Mt. Holly (Northampton) in childbirth when their son Samuel was born 9 Aug 1778. The Carr book says he died three days later. The marriage was apparently out of Quaker meeting because we find in FHL book 974.961 K2m v.1 "Early Church Records of Burlington County, New Jersey," by Charlotte D. Meldrum, a reference to only one Winner in the entire book, which is in the Minutes of Mount Holly Monthly Meeting. "5th da, 4th mo, 1777... Hannah Winner, produced a paper acknowledging trouble of mind, for going out in marriage." We also find Hannah's father Caleb with 250 acres in the same area in which Abraham (but no other Winners) live (per Rootsweb accessed 21 Nov 2011: "Burlington County NJ - NJGenWeb; Early Tax List - Northampton Township, 1779"). The Carr book reports indicates he died 11 Sep 1783 and his buried next to his daughter. In any case this all places John Winner in Northampton just prior to his being in Great Egg Harbor.
John's second marriage is to Millicent Mapes for whom we have on record a will (and codicil) naming her three sons. We also have on record a will for her father Joseph Mapes in which he names his dau. Millicent Winner, his son-in-law John Winner, and his grandson Joseph Winner. Joseph Mapes was prominent in the Quaker community of Great Egg Harbor. John and Millicent has three sons: John, Joseph, and Amos - for whom we have marriage information. FHL film 1425085, it. 6, "Gloucester County, New Jersey, Marriage Records," by H. Stanley Craig, 1930:
-Joseph Winner and Millicent Caveller, 2-2-1803.
-John Winner and Abigail Doughty, 5-9-1812.
-Not reported for Amos. [Per Internet: He married Mary Brackney (from Burlington) September 5, 1805. There are also military records for him which says he was in the War of 1812 and in the War with Algiers in 1815. He was discharged July 10, 1817 with a "surgeons certificate of disability."]
-(As a side note, the same marriage records also has "Samuel Winner and Mary Thorn, 3-30-1813." Could it be John's son Samuel from his marriage to Hannah Carr who did not perhaps die three days after his mother as "The Carr Book" would have us believe?)
We also have a couple more records that place John Winner in Northampton with Abraham:
A. "The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey," v. 37, p. 75, "New Jersey Rateables 1773-1774, Northampton Twp. of Burlington Co.":
-"John Winner sm"
-"Abraham Winner 315; 6c"
B. "Revolutionary Census of NJ," by Kenn Stryker-Rodda; List I (1773 & 1774):
-Abraham Winnor - Northhampton, Burlington Co.
-John Winnor - - Northhampton, Burlington Co.
Most significantly the following record was found a very specific record that ties Northampton Abraham and Great Egg John. Note that we also gain a name of Mary for Abraham's wife. FHL book 974.961 R28h "Burlington County, New Jersey, Deed Abstracts - Books A, B and C," by Richard S. Hutchinson, p. 41: "Book B, p. 35 - Abraham Winner to John Winner." "28 May 1787 - Abraham Winner … Township of Burlington … New Jersey and Mary his Wife ... [sold to] … John Winner of Great Egg Harbour … Gloucester … Whereas the Said Abraham Winner … [by deed from Joseph Butterworth and Sarah his Wife dated 29 May 1780 and from Samuel Shinn dated 1 February 1776 became seized of two certain parcels of land in the Township of Northampton … (for 260 pounds) … All these his two … Parcels ... of Land …. (adjacent land owners or names - Jacob Hilliard, Edward Hilliard, Edward Andrew, Nathan Gaskill, Cripps Estate) … (3 acres, 2 rods, 23 perches) … The other Piece … [adjacent land owners or names - Side of the Great Road called Gaskill's Lane, Hannah Belcher, Johanna Brow)] … (7 acres, 7 perches). Memorandum - (Before the execution of the above deed, Abraham Winner excepts two Small Pieces, the one sold by him to Abel Harker and the other to Isaiah Bishop Which is Within the above bounds.); (Signed - Abraham Winner, Mary Winner; witnesses - Charles Ellis, Daniel Ellis.)"
Summary: It is apparent that John shows up in the records at Northampton in conjunction with Abraham from 1773/4 to 1778. He then disappears by 1779 from the area because only Abraham shows up as the only Winner in the 1779 tax schedules (this evidently is just before Isaac shows up). We then find our John in Great Harbor per Great Egg Harbor, Gloucester Co., various lists for 1774, 1780, 1781 (Winer), 1782, 1783, 1785 (Winners), 1785, 1786, 1790, 1791, 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1802. It appears that he had a short presence in Great Egg Harbor shortly in 1774 and then continuously from 1780 on. The 1787 deed between Abraham and John with their residences certainly confirms a family relationship.
Summary:
The marriages of Abraham in 1769, John in 1776, and Isaac in 1776 would indicate they were of the same generation and probably in that order of age. Interestingly all three appear to have married "out of meeting" from the Quakers. The connections and timelines seem to be more than coincidence. Isaac's apparent connection with Isaac Sr. in Middletown township, Bucks County, PA, would then argue all three must be tied together as probable brothers to most likely Isaac Winner Sr. Of course we cannot rule the taxman may have just called both Isaacs Sr. and Jr. to differentiate them in the locality and one of the other Middletown men could be their father. We see these potential Middletown individuals from tax lists to whom I add my comments:
-Isaac Winner, married, 1754, 1757, 1760 & 1762 listed next to Joseph, 1778 and 1779 as Sr. [By process of elimination, Isaac is the only one seemingly left standing for a potential father.]
-Samuel Winner, single, 1757, 1760 "Sam'l Winner at Joh. Winr.," 1762, 1778 married and next to John, 1779. [Samuel marries too late to be the father of our three Winners. Probably son of John Winner since they both disappear after 1778. A Samuel shows up as a son in John Winner's 1791 will who is probably this Samuel.]
-John Winner, married, 1757, (not listed in 1762), 1778 listed next to Samuel. [This is most likely the John who died and left a will in 1791. (1791, John Winner, Lower Makefield, will, #2356. John Winner of Lower Makefield Twp., Bucks, weaver. January 3, 1791. Proved January 23, 1791. Sons Samuel and John exrs. Ch. Rachel wife of Jacob Watson, Didwell wife of John Smith, Samuel, John, David, Joshua, and David [Moses?] Winner. Gdsns. Levi and John Terry sons of Joshua Terry. Wits: James Moon, Richard Neeld, Peter Vanhorn. Witnesses Amos Gregg and Amos Gregg, Jr.)]
-Joseph Winner, 1760 and 1762 listed next to Isaac. [Could this be Isaac Sr.'s father since he drops out of the record ca. 1762 and is close to him in the tax schedules? We also find the name Joseph used among Abraham's and John's sons.]
-Isaac Jr, married, 1778. [This is our Isaac that goes to Dover, NJ. and who married 1776.]
-James Winner, single, 1778. [Ernestine Siegel identifies James as a son of Isaac Sr.]
So from process of elimination, Isaac Winner Sr. appears to be the probable father. Subject to more research, Joseph Winner could perhaps be Isaac Sr.'s father or perhaps a brother.
There are two other interesting marriages reported in the 1770s for perhaps other close relations or even brothers to Abraham, John, and Isaac that will need closer scrutiny with further research:
A. FHL film 1320671, it. 5, the book "Historical and Genealogical Miscellany, Data Relating to the Settlement and Settlers of New York and New Jersey," by John E. Stillwell (Baltimore, 1970), p. 72, "Register of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, N.J.," p. 88: "Married - Sept. 29, 1774, Jacob Winner & Elizabeth Hellings." Note this is the same church in which Abraham was also married in 1769. The book "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson, "Marriage Licenses from New Jersey Colonial Documents" adds a residence: "Winner, Jacob, Bucks, PA, and Elizabeth Helling, Bucks, PA, 1774 Sep 29." I have not seen ongoing records thereafter for Jacob in New Jersey, so I suspect he married "out of meeting" and returned to Pennsylvania. We do find a Bucks Co. tax record in 1778, "Lower Makefield, for Jacob Winner, married." There was another Jacob in Southampton Twp., Burks Co. who appears on a 1772 tax list then in probate: "1778, Jacob, weaver, Southhampton, adm., #1563"; couldn't find actual probate, but was administration only. A couple of loose unsubstantiated Worldconnect entries show that Jacob who married Elizabeth Helling was son of a Jacob in Bucks co. - probably should consider the possibility that Southampton Jacob could be father of Lower Makefield Jacob. No other entries in Bucks Co. for a Jacob after 1778. A more likely explanation and one that Ernestine Siegel mentions in her book is that these two Jacobs were in fact the one and the same with Jacob then dying relatively young. His age would be surmised from the earliest entry with him being at least 21.
B. "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800," by William Nelson, "Marriage Licenses from New Jersey Colonial Documents": "Winner, Amos, and Rebeca Cooper, 1779 May 1." We see the name Amos later used for a son of John Winner of Great Egg Harbor; this would point to perhaps some kinship. I have found no other pre-1800 entries for Amos in either New Jersey or Bucks Co., PA.
I don't pretend yet to have sorted out all the very early pre-1800 Winners in Bucks County, but we should look a little further into the very earliest ones to see if we can someday connect things in the middle to Isaac Sr. These are all the entries I can find so far that are pre-1760. There is probably some relationship but I can't yet tell if they were early brothers or fathers/sons.
A. We know from probate records that the earliest Winner we have knowledge of in Bucks County (and specifically Middletown Twp.) is John Winner, weaver, Middletown, 1748 probate adm., #628 (administration only with no will). He is probably also be the same John who was a witness to a deed in 1731. Some Internet chat reports John's wife was Didwell, but I have not yet searched for substantiation for this. We do see the John who was a weaver (just like 1748 John) and died in Lower Makefield Twp. in 1791 having a daughter who he named Didwell. (See note above.)
B. We know from the following that there was a Jacob Winner that died before 1753, married as a second husband to Sarah ___ (first husband William Hooper. Jacob could very well be a brother to 1748 John.
a "Deeds 1684-1763":
-Joseph Smith of Bristol Twp., 1753, to Mary Martin, widow, property sold in 1743 to William Hooper, who died intestate and sheriff sold land to Mary Martin and Sarah Winner, formerly Sarah Hooper.
-Sarah Winner, widow of Jacob, deed 1753 to Mary Martin.
b. "Will abstracts 1685-1785": 1753, Sarah Winner of Bristol Twp., son Anthony Hooper. Joseph Smith, executor.
C. "Will abstracts 1685-1785": 1754, Mentions land in Newtown on which "Joseph Winner lives after decease of wife." Principal of will, David Lavell, document does not say relationship but doesn't appear related.
As for the other pre-1800 Bucks Co. Winners, I have an abstract of all the entries I have been able to find to date for any researcher that would like to analyze, find patterns, or sort it out.

4. Two bad connections have been copied and passed on through miscellaneous LDS Archive family group sheets, LDS Ancestral File, and submitter-based Internet bases. Apparently no one has taken time to really check them, and so new research shows these need to be corrected. One shows Benjamin Winner born in New Jersey about 1801 to John Winner and Hester Ann Mason and a death after 1860. We know this link to be erroneous since Benjamin was the son of John's brother Jonathan (birth and death dates are okay). See separate note above for reasons for this correction. The other bad connection is to link John who married Hester as a son to John and Millicent (Mapes) Winner of Egg Harbor City area of Gloucester Co. (now Atlantic Co.) This should also be corrected to show John as the son of Isaac Winner of Dover Twp., Monmouth, and brother to Jonathan Winner. See below for more on this.
The following is a copy of email dated 4 Jul 2004 from Gary Coon which provides detail on the Winners of Egg Harbor, NJ. I concur that John Winner (wife Hester) is not a son of John (wife Millicent). I believe, however, that John Winner was the son of Isaac Winner of Dover Township:
"I've looked back and rechecked some notes about the Winners of Great Egg Harbor. I am convinced that John Winner (wife Hester Mason) is NOT the son of John Winner and Melscent Mapes of Great Egg Harbor.
Will of Joseph Mapes: 25 Jan 1787. Leaves property to wife Mary, dau. Melicent Winner, and grandson Joseph Winner. Exec. wife Mary and son-in-law John Winner.
Will of Melscent Winner: 18 Apr 1791, to son Amos, all lands bequeathed by father. Use of it by husband John Winner. Codicil 1 Dec 1793: Should son Amos die before age of majority without issue, said lands to son John Winner. Will proved 12 Aug 1806.
To me this means that son Joseph born before 1787, son Amos before 1791, and son John between 1791 and 1793. I figure that Joseph got his inheritance directly from grandpa so Melicent was giving hers to Amos. But then John arrived and she had to think of him too. Strange that she wouldn't divide it between Amos and John.
John Winner married Abigail Doughty 9 May 1812 in Gloucester Co., NJ. (John Jr., I believe.)
Land transactions continue after this point for all John Sr. and his sons distinguishing between John Sr. and John Jr. They continue for John Jr. up till 1820.
Will of John Winner, Jr.: inventoried 1 Nov 1823 in Egg Harbor. (I haven't seen the estate document.)
Abby Winner [wife of John Jr.] shows up in the 1830 census with no husband. I believe she remarries a Mr. Veneble sometime after.
So it seems clear that John Winner (born 1786) of Clermont Co., OH, is not the son of John Winner of Great Egg Harbor. This John was married to Hester Ann Mason. Her father Joseph was living in that area of Gloucester Co. One of his sons, Case, stayed there and died in the county. So John did have ties to Gloucester Co.
Now John Winner Sr. of Great Egg Harbor did have ties to the Winner boys of neighboring Burlington Co. Going over the tax records, land records, wills, and marriages of this group, there could be seven brothers: Abraham, Jesse, Thomas, William, John, Samuel, Septimus. (It is said that traditionally a Septimus is the seventh son.) These guys show up together on wills, land deals, and such. Ex: Septimus and William owed his father-in-law's estate for three years rent. Jesse and John are mentioned elsewhere as owning money together. I believe John married Hannah Carr on 1 Apr 1776. She died in childbirth in 1778. He married Melicent Mapes (widow of John Coates) afterward settled in Great Egg Harbor with her family (if not already living there).
So John [Winner of Clermont Co., OH] could have been the son of one of them. I've ruled out John, Septimus (he moved to Butler Co., OH, but his son John is said to be the one ending up in Logan co., OH), William died 1813 (and the adm'r was Jesse Winner; no family mentioned), and Thomas was a resident of Philadelphia at the time of his marriage in 1780 (though he had property in Burlington and his wife was living there at the time of the marriage). John [of Clermont Co., OH] was born in 1786 in NJ but both parents were listed from PHIL on a 1798 land sale in Burlington. Most likely his father was Abraham, Jesse, or Samuel.
Other Winner males about his age, said to be related to Abraham are: Isaac Sr. m. Hannah Searle 9 Nov 1776 in NJ (both from Bucks Co., PA) and Jacob m. Elizabeth Helling 29 Sep 1774 in NJ (both from Bucks Co., PA).
Other unaccounted Winner males include:
Amos m. Rebeca Cooper 1 May 1779.
Isaac of Dover, Monmouth Co. [My note: This Isaac is probably the same who married Hannah Searle.]
Still don't know where Jonathan and Isaac come in, but because they moved to Ohio with John and Hester, her father Joseph Mason, and also Benjamin moving on to IL with John and Hester, they have to have close family ties to this Burlington bunch. [My note: Jonathan and Isaac are sons of the first Isaac of Dover.]
One last thing. Jonathan and Benjamin's neighbor in 1830 was Benjamin Doughty from Burlington. John and Joseph Winner were co-bondsmen on the estate of Yelverton Doughty. The adm'r was Thomas Doughty, possible brother of Benjamin Doughty and father of Abigail Doughty. [My note: this could be significant because it may be the only tie to Egg Harbor and Dover Winners even though these two clans were probably a generation or two apart as cousins originating from Bucks Co., PA.]
I'm not too sure about the Lycoming Co. [PA] Winners fitting in here very closely. They seem to be more removed from this group. My gggrandmother (Isabell Lambert m. James L. Winner [My note: James, Benjamin, Jonathan, Isaac]) said the Winners had lived in Bucks Co., PA. It appears that the Bucks Co. Winners had NJ interests, most likely in Burlington Co., just across the river. (Ex: Isaac Sr. and Amos marriages above.)" [Ernestine Siegel in her books on James Winner purports him to be a son of Isaac Sr. of Bucks Co. - hence a brother to Abraham, John, and Isaac. KP]

5. We have results of DNA testing comparing the southern NJ Winners to Dutch Winnes which confirms the two families are not related! Some emails on the subject:
A. 7 May 2012 email from Roger Winner, a direct descendant of Pieter Winne, has who had done a DNA test. He notes: "I have spent much time researching all early Winners but in particular my Pieter Winne lines. In all of my research I have not found anything suggesting a common ancestor for the two lines. ... I am in the direct male line descending for Pieter ..."
B. 9 May 2012 email from Roger Winner to Judy Winner . He notes: "The DNA tests provided the result I was looking for. Your husband and I do not share a common ancestor and therefore your line of Winners are not descended from Pieter Winne. Ancestry and Family Tree only have 32 of the 37 markers but I did not match 12 of the 32 markers."
C. From an ancestry.com message board http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.winne/231.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx of 2009 from a Judith Winner: "Family cemetery in Pike Co,Illinois shows John Winner (b Jan. 18, 1787, d Aug. 9, 1860). DOD may be Aug 18,1860. Family history says he was from Hamilton, Ohio. Married Hester Mason, etc. My husband Richard Winner has a 37 dNa marker match with Maurice D. (Mike) Winner, Jr., from Gloucester Co., NJ. His line is Maurice D. Sr 1904-1974, Lawrence C. - 1874-1943, James R. - 1850-1929, Joseph Winner - 1822 - 1895."
D. 19 Sep 2012 email from Judy Winner : "My husband Richard D. Winner is descended from Pike Co Illinois Winners. We have 37 marker Family Tree dNa. We heard from Maurice Dawson Winner who lives in Gloucester Co. NJ and Richard matches him.
Richard's line is:
John Winner (1787-1860)
Samuel Winner (10-13-1810 10-15-1882)
Thomas Winner (7-5-1849/after 1920)
Samuel Eaves Winner (12-24-1873 - 1918-1920?)
Warren Thomas Winner (6-25-1903/7-28-1988)
Richard D. Winner (1947 -)
I have emails from Roger rlwhershey@att.net who we shared dNa results which I will forward. [See above email from Roger dated 9 May 2012] Asked Richard's 70+ sister where her father lived (Warren) and she said on Dutch Creek. This is in Pike Co, IL where the Winner Cemetery is located. [Copy of DNA certificate and results in image file.]
E. Email from Kris Winner, Jul 24, 2012. "Hi Kerry - thanks for sending your notes. It looks like you and I are on the same track to some extent. I have come to many of the same conclusions. I may have some bits that you don't - I have spent a lot of time in Trenton and in DC trolling through the archives. So, where you have notes on some of the births or deaths or marriages, I have copies of the actual documents, some of which have additional names included. I think I will go through your notes and add in red where I might have a document of interest and you can let me know if you have it or not. My line is probably through Abraham/John. You may have seen a post on the message board (see http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.winne/231.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx from a Judy Winner. The Maurice she mentions is my dad's cousin. I met him two years or so ago in North Carolina and got some great things from him on more recent relatives, and he told me he had done the dna thing and came up with a match to the Ohio crowd. I have not emailed her about her query, but might have something for her, specifically that two of John Winner's sons were on a jury with Hester Ann Mason's brother, Case Mason, making a "link" to the Great Egg Harbor crowd. I often wondered if this John was the son of Septimus that was unaccounted for in his will according to Kim Secrist on the message boards again. I don't have Septimus's will, I need to get that to see exactly what it says."
F. 19 Sep 2012 email from me to Judy, Roger, Kris, and Karen Winner:
"Your husband's DNA tests against Maurice Winner and Roger Winner confirm my research. I have no DNA tests to add since I am not of the Winner surname, but I do have extensive historical research which anticipated and surmised what you have found. Many have suspected, but I believe I am the first to come to the firm conclusion that the southern NJ Winners come from Bucks Co., PA and not the Dutch Winne line...
Your second email today notes that Roger Winner, a confirmed descendant of Pieter Winne, has compared his DNA and it does not match your husband's, which I would have expected... Finally we have proof that the lines are not the same even though dozens of researchers have spent lifetimes on the subject. There continues to be much bad reporting connecting these two lines. We can now move beyond all that.
Your exact match to Maurice Winner is no surprise to me... Kris has not provided me an exact ancestral line; however, you mention on your board posting: "His line is Maurice D. Sr 1904-1974, Lawrence C. - 1874-1943, James R. - 1850-1929, Joseph Winner - 1822 - 1895." The 1822 Joseph is a generation or two removed from the earliest Winners I connect, but he is definitely in our mix. I believe he may be the son of Joseph Winner, b. 1803, who had a brother John and Amos. Their father is in turn John Winner who married Millicent Mapes (and also married Hannah Carr before Millicent). This John is my database and has probably 3 brothers and 1 sister (all of which you will see on my database). Their father, I believe, is our first surmised ancestor Isaac Winner (1733-1781) who married Rebecca ___, all of Bucks Co. Of John's brothers, one was Isaac (Jr) (1755 Bucks Co., PA - 1819 Monmouth Co., NJ) who married twice. He is the progenitor of the all the Southeast NJ Winners. His first wife was Hannah Searls, who had several children including your John Winner who married Hester Mason ... The fact that your husband's DNA and Maurice's match would put the common ancestor at the original Isaac Sr. of Bucks Co. - who is the earliest ancestor I have surmised thus far. Now that the linkage is more certain, it would be good for you to continue to compare with other Bucks Co. Winner descendants. Isaac Sr. had another son James who stayed in the area and has numerous descendants in Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania. I would be great to test against that major branch and proof would be outstanding icing on the cake. I have emailed Karen Winner of the James Winner line with a copy of this email (she has also reviewed my research paper) and perhaps she can locate a suitable candidate on her branch for DNA testing."

3250 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I looked up on FHL film 2193531, Ovingham Parish church marriage records, for the 4 Feb 1781 marriage of Robert Broad. The record clearly indicates the bride as Mary Burnett and that both are of the parish. Both signed with the mark of an X. The witnesses names, Jno. Greenot(?) and Robr't Blenksop, are unknown to me. Per the same film and church records, the 20 Feb 1798 birth and 8 Apr 1798 christening of their "eighth Child" Jonathan in Ovingham notes father as "Robert Broad, native of Byton," and mother's maiden name as "Mary Burnup, native of Allendale." The marriage occurred in Ovingham 4 Feb 1781 and the children were born 1781-1798. Allendale would be in the general area of her birth since it is the southern and eastern part of Hexhamshire. The big question is whether the name is Burnett or Burnup, both which can sound very similar in the local dialects (where even Burnhope sounds just like Burnup). Known children from FHL film 95025 all christened in Ovingham are as follows (not complete since Jonathan is listed as the eighth child in this christening record):
-Jane, Illegitimate dau. of Robert Broad and Mary Burnett of Wylam, chr. 4 Feb 1781.
-William, son of Robert and Mary Broad, chr. 18 May 1783, of Wylam.
-Robert, son of Robert and Mary Broad, chr. 16 Sep 1786, of Wylam.
-Margaret, 3rd dau. of Robert and Mary Broad, chr. 14 Sep 1794, Robert is a pitman living in Wylam.
-Betty, 7th child of Robert and Mary Bourne, chr. 27 Oct 1797, res. Ovington. (Robert is crossed out in Register - probably an error and should have crossed out Bourne, the mistake for Broad.
-Jonathan, 8th child of Robert Broad and Mary Burnup, b. 20 Feb 1798, chr. 8 Apr 1798.
Additionally from
We find a burial record for Mary Broad in Ovingham for 4 Dec 1826, age 70, residing at Wylam; this would give a birth date of approximately 1756, which is not too far off of the 1753 christening date we have for Mary Burnhope considering the variance in such dates in that time period and who was reporting the age at time of death. As for the husband, we find his burial record in Ovingham for 22 Dec 1824, age 83, residing in Wylam.
Another thing to consider is the fact that the minister wrote down a surname of Burnet twice - once at the marriage in 1781 and once at the birth of the first known child in 1781; however, it could have easily been the same curate working off the same error since the child was evidently born out of wedlock being christened the same day as when Robert and Mary are born.
I reviewed the christenings for a Mary Burnett chr. in Allendale and found no entries whatsoever for five years either side of 1756. I found no Burnetts listed whatsoever in the Allendale christening records from 1662-1875. On the other hand, I found 26 Burnops (or variations thereof) in the same 100 year plus span of christenings in Allendale; however, the only Marys were christened 1725, 1737, 1773, and 1798 in Alledale. In fact using the same criteria on IGI for all of Northumberland, I only found one Mary Burnett and that was in 1760 in Newcastle upon Tyne; however, for Mary Burnup, I also found only one entry and that was our Mary Burnop, chr. 14 Oct 1753 in Hexham. One must also realize that Hexham had the large Abbey and was the regional church/cathedral for Hexhamshire encompassing broadly the Allendale parish .
It is therefore my opinion to consider Mary Broad as Mary Burnup/Burnhope until proven otherwise.

CHRISTENING:
1. Note that Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. LDS IGI extracted records for Hexham, Northumberland, England per batch P000642, film 0094998, printout 6905734 show:
Mary Burnep, dau. of Isaac Burnep chr. 14 Oct 1753.
Joseph Burnip, son of Isaac Burnip chr. 7 Mar 1756.
Ann Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 9 Apr 1758.
Hannah Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 23 Mar 1760.

2. By following the various christening records of his children, we can ascertain Isaac's residence and and the name of his wife Jane. Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope do not show on most maps since they are not villages as much as a just a location. Using older maps, I was able to locate them. On modern maps such as Google, locate Hunstanworth in County Durham. Just slightly above Hunstanworth across the field is the River Derwent going from west to east. Slightly to the west of Hunstanworth, the river turns upward northwesternly while a serpentine forested hill turns southwesterly. At this first bow on the north side is Newbiggin Fell. Continue to follow the river as it then immediately turns back west and then you are at Riddlehamhope on the north side of the river. Slightly to the west of that is Riddlehamhope Fell. Note that this river is the boundary between counties Durham on the south and Northumberland on the north thereby making the Burnhopes residents of Northumberland. The meaning of the old English word Fell is from the Old Norse meaning an upland stretch of open country; a moor; or a barren or stony hill. We know that Isaac was a miller because he eventually ends up at Woodhall Mill very near Haydon's Bridge where he dies in 1781. The location of Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope on a river may have been due to work as a miller even though his early profession is not given in the christening records.
The record of his child William must appear in two separate registers (a local and bishop's trancript?) because my transcription shows the entry below whereas the LDS IGI shows the same entry without the father but with a mother Jane Burnhope listed. This establishes Jane as the wife of Isaac.
Note that in a separate transcription book for Hexham baptisms (1752-1851) which I reviewed at the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn Jun 2009, there were some minor differences as noted above in [brackets].
The various parish records showing the christening of Isaac's children in chronological order show:
Shotley, Northumberland:
William Burnhope, son of Isaac of Newggin(sic) hope chr. 21 Jul 1745.
Hunstanworth, Durham:
Kath. Burnhope, d. of Isaac, chr. 27 Jul 1747.
Isaac Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Ridlehope [sic], chr. 2 Mar 1748/1749 (bur in 1762 in Hexham).
John Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Newbigginhope, chr. 10 Mar 1750/1751
Hexham, Northumberland:
Mary Burnep, dau. of Isaac Burnep chr. 14 Oct 1753. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac of Leafield House. I have tried to find a Leafield House using Google and what I can find thus far is in Birtley, a suburb in County Durham of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne just north of Chester-le-Street. This is off the path considering Newbiggin and Whitley Mill are in close proximity to each other south of Hexham and makes one wonder if there is a closer Leafield House.]
Joseph Burnip, son of Isaac Burnip chr. 7 Mar 1756. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.]
Ann Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 9 Apr 1758. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.]
Hannah Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 23 Mar 1760. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac - not sure why one transcription would say Hannah and the other Mary.]

MARRIAGE:
1. FHL film 2193531, Ovingham Parish church marriage records: 4 Feb 1781 marriage of Robert Broad and Mary Burnett, both are of the parish, both signed with the mark of an X. The witnesses: Jno. Greenot(?) and Robr't Blenksop.

BURIAL:
1. FHL film 2193532, church records of Ovingham, Northumberland: we find a burial record for Mary Broad in Ovingham for 4 Dec 1826, age 70, residing at Wylam; this would give a birth date of approximately 1756, which is not too far off of the 1753 christening date we have for Mary Burnhope considering the variance in such dates in that time period and who was reporting the age at time of death. As for the husband, we find his burial record in Ovingham for 22 Dec 1824, age 83, residing in Wylam.

2. FHL has a microfiche of the monumental (gravestone) transcriptions for Ovingham Cemetery. i found nothing for the surname Broad.
 		Burnep or Burnup, Mary (I4615)
