The Douglas Library in Hebron, Connecticut has "Town of Hebron Vital Records: Barbour Collection 1708-1854," p. 96, does not shows a marriage for Hannah to Benjamin Smith, nor does it give a birth record. There is however one birth record that indicates: "Hannah Phelps, d. Timothy, b. Dec 25, 1715, v. 1, p. 62." This could be a daughter of Timothy, son of Timothy and Martha, because her marriage to Benjamin Smith is reported as 29 Jan 1725 which would make a birth of 1715 if in the marriage info is in fact correct. 3.

From the book "Our Town's Heritage, 1708-1958, Hebron, Connecticut," by John Sibun, 1975, Connecticut State Historical Society: "The first white men to settle in town were Timothy Phelps and William Shipman, who arrived in Hebron from Windsor in June 1704. The area, then a wilderness, was used by the Indians as a hunting ground, and the few white men who knew of its existence passed through to other locations. The first two houses were located along Route 85 south of today's center. Approximately on what is now the Hilding driveway, Shipman built his homestead and Phelps constructed his home across the road on the land now owned by the Porter family. It is possible they worked on their property during the summer months only for the first two years, and returned to their families in Windsor when winter set in. The settlers had some prior knowledge of what to expect before they arrived, as the land had been scouted years before but never occupied. Like so much territory on which Connecticut towns were founded, Hebron's land was owned originally by the Indians. However, in the case of Hebron, it was obtained not by seizure or conquest, but legally, in the form of a legacy drawn up by Joshua, Sachem of the Western Nehantics… …Hebron became an incorporated town in May 1708 with nine families living within its boundaries. Up until then, Lebanon excepted, towns had been named for their English counterparts and Hebron was the second Biblical name used in Connecticut. No one is certain how or why the name of Hebron came to be used. It may have been named by a scholar of the Bible, for it was apt in that its Hebrew origin meant a settlement created by people coming from diverse directions. There are numerous Hebrons in the United States, and the one in Nova Scotia was founded by people from Hebron, Connecticut, who were Tory "refugees." The original Hebron in Palestine was old in Abraham's day and is believed to be one of the two oldest cities in the world. The first settlers in Hebron included Shipmans, Roots, Sawyers, Posts, Tillotsons, Palmers, Curtis, and two families of Phelps. Filers, Jones, Youngs, and Trumbulls were also among the very earliest families. Probably the first spot named in the area was Prophet's Rock in use even before the name of Hebron. Prophet's Rock, located on the Smith property on Burrows Hill Road, is really two pieces of granite which look as though one large mass had been cleaved down the middle. It stands on the brow of the highest point around with one stone slightly larger and higher than the other. Each part of the rock has an overhang where one can huddle snugly from the rain and wind, and a sheltered place where a fire can be lighted. It is easy to see why Indians probably used the rock for refuge and observation when on the trail. When man was not there, it became a natural lair for the hunted animal or one sheltering itself from the noonday sun. Here in 1706, so legend has it, the wives of Shipman and Phelps came to find their husbands. One evening the two original settlers heard strange sounds echoing across the valley, and an investigation revealed their families standing on the rock calling for them. It is conjecture whether they really could be heard. Be that as it may, the men were overjoyed to be reunited with their families. Martha Crow Phelps thought her place was with her husband and on her own initiative had resolved the situation. Bringing with her the goods that would make life in a virgin area more bearable, she camped along the way as the trip apparently took a few days. It is said she did not hurry, but negotiated the rough going stoically, clutching her Bible to herself as she lay down in the shelter of rocks and rested under fallen trees. Born in Windsor 36 years before, it could not have been an easy decision to make the journey, for Martha's mother had "disappeared" many years before when she had set out on a like journey to seek her husband. Hebron is the 41st oldest town in the state and its very early origin can be shown by the fact that the Mayflower had arrived at Plymouth a bare 80 years before the first white men came to the region. For many people this magic date, to all intents and purposes, marks the start of the country's history. During the 1600's Plantations were founded in areas such as Saybrook, Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield which were accessible by waterways. It was not until later that inland towns, such as Hebron, came into being. The 17th century was a time when the Indians in Connecticut chose sides and either fought for, or against, the white man. The Pequot tribe, which alone outnumbered the Englishmen, was one of the biggest and fiercest bands which roamed the countryside and frequently plundered the tiny colonies. Eventually, with the aid of other tribes, notably the Mohegans of Saybrook who hunted up through Hebron, the white man gradually brought lasting peace to the Connecticut countryside. Before 1704 there was nothing to distinguish Hebron from the rest of this part of New England. Deer and other wild game roamed across a brush wilderness, slept in the caves, and sunned themselves on the great slabs of rock which dotted the countryside. Hunting the game to provide food and clothing, Indians from the local tribes hurried along the trails that had been blazed up from the shore line. Hebron was laced with these paths. The town area, as we know it now, probably did not support a regular large community of Indians, but from time to time, may have had isolated small resident groups. In addition to hunting, the Indians used the area for a little seasonal farming. Each spring, the tribes would send some of their members to take possession of large inland hillsides suitable for growing corn. To clear the land quickly, vegetation was burned to the ground. Other Indians arrived with seed corn and ground fish porgies for fertilizer, and after the planting was completed, returned to their shore line homes. At the end of the summer the Indians collected their harvest. Some of it was used on the spot for a big celebration feast complete with dances around a corn stalk fire. The festivities over, the Indians headed for the shore with a corn supply which they hoped would last them through the long winter months ahead. Indians still used Burnt Hill, situated next to the Hebron road of that name, for growing corn long after the first white men came, but gradually the settler edged the red man out of his use of this type of land. Very little, if any, trouble occurred between the first local Hebron settlers and the Indians. But in the first few decades when there was general unrest in the state, some residents took to sleeping in a Block House which was situated near the site of the old Brick School and what is now the junction of Route 85 and the Old Colchester Road. In 1705, the Connecticut General Assembly authorized John Pritchard and John Plumb to survey the five mile tract (what is now part of the eastern and southern sides of Lebanon), the boundaries to be marked on convenient rocks. These markers remain; the one in Goshen bears the legend LVMC (for Lebanon Five Mile Corner). Many years ago, Clarence Bissell led a small party to rediscover the Hebron "L Rock." They set off from what is now Archie Green's house and located a flat rock three quarters of a mile from the southwest corner of Amston Lake; the chiseled "L" was still legible. The "town fathers" also established laws at this time with which to govern the community. The first complete record of Town Officers was made in December 1709 when a town clerk, constable, 3 townsmen, surveyor of highways, and a lister were elected. It was voted that a diamond would be the town brand for cattle, and a certain white oak centrally located, was designated as the town's notice board. Initially, town meetings were held in various private homes. At this time, the primary business at meetings was that of establishing a church. An early town law stated that no timber, wood, hay, or stone could be transported out of town. This was to ensure that the community did not experience any shortages in its attempt to become self-sufficient. In 1710 the state was petitioned to allow the town the right to tax the land within its boundaries. There are few details of the first town meeting which was held on September 20, 1708, at which Timothy Phelps was elected Town Clerk. Another Phelps, Nathaniel, was "elected" in 1712 to be the town's first innkeeper. It appears that enough visitors were passing through the village to warrant such action. His tavern was situated near the Colchester line… …It is very hard to find a time in the town's history when a Jones was not in residence. The oldest family grave- stones go back to 1775, but Joneses were in town long before that time. Many of them were soldiers including Ezekiel Jones who had been a drummer boy in the Revolution. Several towns in the state have a Jones family, and it is safe to say probably in many cases their ancestors came from Hebron many years before. Not only is there a street called after the prolific Jones family in Hebron, but there is a cemetery on that street named for them. For many years, they gathered once a year to put the cemetery grounds in order and at the same time have a picnic where everyone was brought up to date on the news of all branches of the family. One Hebron Jones, Joel, found that being a principal citizen of the village had its drawbacks. In the late 18th century, he spent some time imprisoned in Tolland jail after the town was unable to pay its county taxes. This was one way the law could be enforced to collect taxes, but para- doxically, a sure way that a person could gain the respect of his fellow citizens…" [Included with this article is a line drawing depicting "Martha Crow Phelps seeks her husband, with her on the "Prophet's Rock." Also there is a photo of the rock. Also included is a copy of a township map drawn in 1744 by Isaac Pinney with the original in the Connecticut State Library Ecclesiastical Vol. VII. The map lists the following Phelps: Esq. Phelps, Capt. Phelps, N. Phelps, C. Phelps, Noah Phelps, S. Phelps, and Phelps. The Phelpses are generally clustered to the east of the township center and approximately a third of the way up from the bottom of the township. There is only one "Jones" listed and that is on the western edge approximately 2 miles up from the southern border. This was John Jones' residence at which time he would have been a teenager in the household. There is still a Jones Street and Pond at the old location of the Jones. There is also a Jones Cemetery. Also listed are three "Porters" just to the west of the Phelps.] BIRTH: 1. Website 4 Sep 2007 www.douglaslibrary.org/barbour.

It stands on the brow of the highest point around with one stone slightly larger and higher than the other. Each part of the rock has an overhang where one can huddle snugly from the rain and wind, and a sheltered place where a fire can be lighted. It is easy to see why Indians probably used the rock for refuge and observation when on the trail. When man was not there, it became a natural lair for the hunted animal or one sheltering itself from the noonday sun. Here in 1706, so legend has it, the wives of Shipman and Phelps came to find their husbands. One evening the two original settlers heard strange sounds echoing across the valley, and an investigation revealed their families standing on the rock calling for them. It is conjecture whether they really could be heard. Be that as it may, the men were overjoyed to be reunited with their families. Martha Crow Phelps thought her place was with her husband and on her own initiative had resolved the situation. Bringing with her the goods that would make life in a virgin area more bearable, she camped along the way as the trip apparently took a few days. It is said she did not hurry, but negotiated the rough going stoically, clutching her Bible to herself as she lay down in the shelter of rocks and rested under fallen trees. Born in Windsor 36 years before, it could not have been an easy decision to make the journey, for Martha's mother had "disappeared" many years before when she had set out on a like journey to seek her husband. Hebron is the 41st oldest town in the state and its very early origin can be shown by the fact that the Mayflower had arrived at Plymouth a bare 80 years before the first white men came to the region. For many people this magic date, to all intents and purposes, marks the start of the country's history. During the 1600's Plantations were founded in areas such as Saybrook, Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield which were accessible by waterways. It was not until later that inland towns, such as Hebron, came into being. The 17th century was a time when the Indians in Connecticut chose sides and either fought for, or against, the white man. The Pequot tribe, which alone outnumbered the Englishmen, was one of the biggest and fiercest bands which roamed the countryside and frequently plundered the tiny colonies. Eventually, with the aid of other tribes, notably the Mohegans of Saybrook who hunted up through Hebron, the white man gradually brought lasting peace to the Connecticut countryside. Before 1704 there was nothing to distinguish Hebron from the rest of this part of New England. Deer and other wild game roamed across a brush wilderness, slept in the caves, and sunned themselves on the great slabs of rock which dotted the countryside. Hunting the game to provide food and clothing, Indians from the local tribes hurried along the trails that had been blazed up from the shore line. Hebron was laced with these paths. The town area, as we know it now, probably did not support a regular large community of Indians, but from time to time, may have had isolated small resident groups. In addition to hunting, the Indians used the area for a little seasonal farming. Each spring, the tribes would send some of their members to take possession of large inland hillsides suitable for growing corn. To clear the land quickly, vegetation was burned to the ground. Other Indians arrived with seed corn and ground fish porgies for fertilizer, and after the planting was completed, returned to their shore line homes. At the end of the summer the Indians collected their harvest. Some of it was used on the spot for a big celebration feast complete with dances around a corn stalk fire. The festivities over, the Indians headed for the shore with a corn supply which they hoped would last them through the long winter months ahead. Indians still used Burnt Hill, situated next to the Hebron road of that name, for growing corn long after the first white men came, but gradually the settler edged the red man out of his use of this type of land. Very little, if any, trouble occurred between the first local Hebron settlers and the Indians. But in the first few decades when there was general unrest in the state, some residents took to sleeping in a Block House which was situated near the site of the old Brick School and what is now the junction of Route 85 and the Old Colchester Road. In 1705, the Connecticut General Assembly authorized John Pritchard and John Plumb to survey the five mile tract (what is now part of the eastern and southern sides of Lebanon), the boundaries to be marked on convenient rocks. These markers remain; the one in Goshen bears the legend LVMC (for Lebanon Five Mile Corner). Many years ago, Clarence Bissell led a small party to rediscover the Hebron "L Rock." They set off from what is now Archie Green's house and located a flat rock three quarters of a mile from the southwest corner of Amston Lake; the chiseled "L" was still legible. The "town fathers" also established laws at this time with which to govern the community. The first complete record of Town Officers was made in December 1709 when a town clerk, constable, 3 townsmen, surveyor of highways, and a lister were elected. It was voted that a diamond would be the town brand for cattle, and a certain white oak centrally located, was designated as the town's notice board. Initially, town meetings were held in various private homes. At this time, the primary business at meetings was that of establishing a church. An early town law stated that no timber, wood, hay, or stone could be transported out of town. This was to ensure that the community did not experience any shortages in its attempt to become self-sufficient. In 1710 the state was petitioned to allow the town the right to tax the land within its boundaries. There are few details of the first town meeting which was held on September 20, 1708, at which Timothy Phelps was elected Town Clerk. Another Phelps, Nathaniel, was "elected" in 1712 to be the town's first innkeeper. It appears that enough visitors were passing through the village to warrant such action. His tavern was situated near the Colchester line… …It is very hard to find a time in the town's history when a Jones was not in residence. The oldest family grave- stones go back to 1775, but Joneses were in town long before that time. Many of them were soldiers including Ezekiel Jones who had been a drummer boy in the Revolution. Several towns in the state have a Jones family, and it is safe to say probably in many cases their ancestors came from Hebron many years before. Not only is there a street called after the prolific Jones family in Hebron, but there is a cemetery on that street named for them. For many years, they gathered once a year to put the cemetery grounds in order and at the same time have a picnic where everyone was brought up to date on the news of all branches of the family. One Hebron Jones, Joel, found that being a principal citizen of the village had its drawbacks. In the late 18th century, he spent some time imprisoned in Tolland jail after the town was unable to pay its county taxes. This was one way the law could be enforced to collect taxes, but para- doxically, a sure way that a person could gain the respect of his fellow citizens…" [Included with this article is a line drawing depicting "Martha Crow Phelps seeks her husband, with her on the "Prophet's Rock." Also there is a photo of the rock. Also included is a copy of a township map drawn in 1744 by Isaac Pinney with the original in the Connecticut State Library Ecclesiastical Vol. VII. The map lists the following Phelps: Esq. Phelps, Capt. Phelps, N. Phelps, C. Phelps, Noah Phelps, S. Phelps, and Phelps. The Phelpses are generally clustered to the east of the township center and approximately a third of the way up from the bottom of the township. There is only one "Jones" listed and that is on the western edge approximately 2 miles up from the southern border. This was John Jones' residence at which time he would have been a teenager in the household. There is still a Jones Street and Pond at the old location of the Jones. There is also a Jones Cemetery. Also listed are three "Porters" just to the west of the Phelps.] BIRTH: 1. Website 4 Sep 2007 www.douglaslibrary.org/barbour.

Burnham's at Podunk, 3 of 4 miles below. John, Jr., asked, in 1663, to be released form his ferry contract, which was granted on condition that some one could be found to take his place.

From an undated newspaper article published by the "Manchester (Connecticut) Evening Herald": "Hebron in History and Story," by Susan B. Pendleton. Article found in the Windsor Historical Society Library, call no. R979.6N: "When the Herald indicated a willingness to allow space for some bits of fact and legend about Hebron, it delighted me beyond measure, and I only wished that my old friend F. Clarence Bissell of blessed memory were here to help in the task. We people of Hebron probably owe more to Mr. Bissell for gathering and preserving Hebron history than to any other person, not even excepting that delightful old historian, the Rev. Samuel Peters, who sang Hebron's glories in the early days in such a way that it was hard to tell fact from fancy. Hebron as a town may, be said to have taken its initial start in the world of Attawanhood, (whose baptismal name was Joshua), sachem of the Western Nehantics, and third son of Uncas, great sachem of the Mohegans, made a will, February 1675-6, giving to twenty-nine Saybrook men and women a large tract of land, with a map drawn by himself, showing its location on both sides of the Unguashot River. This river, which runs along the eastern part of Marlborough near the Hebron line, is now commonly known as the Blackledge river, and a sign placed by the state gives that name. It seems a pity that the old Indian name was not used instead. I believe this word is pronounced as if spelled Ungushet, with accent on the second syllable. It is a wide and beautiful stream. Chistian Convert. Attawanhood left part of this land to his children, and wished them to be taught and trained after the manner of the white people. The home of this old sachem was in what is now Lyme, near the Eight Mile Island. He became a convert to Christianity and was given the name of Joshua at baptism. His will, which may be found entire in the State Library, is an interesting document, but too long to be quoted here in full. By its terms he gives to his two sons, in addition to other tracts, 'forty acres of land already broke up at Podunk, and also a plot of land about half a mile square lying in the last addition to Hartford bounds, and in case either die, then to my two squaws or the survivor of them. Further, my will is that my children be brought up for the first four years, henceforward, with Trusty and their mother to teach them English, and that they should live at or near Saybrooke.' He provides for his daughter, and gives further direction as to the schooling of the three, adding 'Also it is my desire that they come not among the Connecticut Indians.' Trusty was his slave, also an Indian. He says of him 'Also I desire Trusty may not go to the Narragansetts. I have chosen him to have the oversight of my children, as aforesaid. Also I desire to be buried at Saybrooke, in a coffin, in an English manner.' The Strange Sign. The will is signed and sealed at Pattapoque, Feb. 27, 1675-6. Attawanhood (or Joshua, if we must use his less romantic English name) ... [missing pages] ...towns, had been settled, the former in 1700 and the latter in 1702, and there were undoubtedly well defined trails for a good part of the way, over which the settlers made their march. Further light is thrown on the beginnings of Hebron by the narrative of Governor John S. Peters, a native of Hebron, born in 1772, in his historical notes written in 1843. He says that the two first settlers built log house on ground 'now occupied by Ira Bissell and Joel Wilcox, in autumn of 1705.' Trumbull has this date 1704, but possibly the discrepancy may be accounted for by the 'old style and new style' system of dates. It seems likely, whatever the date, that the settlers built their log houses that first fall after staking out their claims. Hilding brothers now live on the Ira Bissell place, and when a few years ago, they made some excavations for the purpose of making a foundation for a garage, they came upon the old site of one of the log houses. An ancient looking ink bottle was found by one of the men while digging. The bottle was whole and is preserved by the Hilding family. While this may have been part of refuse or junk thrown into the cellar hole or foundation after the old log house had gone down it probably dated well back to the early days of the town. And it may easily have been owned by the first settlers. First White Woman. Governor Peters in his memoirs tells the story of the coming of the first white woman in these words: 'While the men were making preparations for their families in the summer of 1706, they brought their provisions with them and remained for weeks at their new homes. Their wives, being anxious for the welfare of their husbands and unwilling to be left too long alone, four or five started one shining morning for the promised land, twenty long miles through the wilderness, regulating their course by marked trees and crossing the streams on logs felled for the purpose. Night overtook them in the lower part of Gilead. They wandered from the line and brought up on the hill south of Nathan Smith's house was later located. Fearing that the wolves would regale themselves on their delicious bodies they concluded to roost upon the top of the high rock on the summit of the hill. Here they proclaimed their lamentations to the winds. This novel serenade attracted the attention of their husbands, who wandered towards the sound until they fortunately found their wives on the rock which they had chosen for their night's repose. The gratification of the interview can be better imagined than described.' As Governor Peters was a great hand for setting down memoirs or historical notes, and as he could easily have talked with the children or grandchildren of these early settlers, there would seem to be no doubt of the truth of the delightful little tale. Hardy, Brave Women. One can imagine these brave, eager women, impatient at the long delay which had left them at Windsor, separated from their husbands, and with no means of finding out whether they were so much as dead or alive. It is no wonder that, wearied of waiting and eating out their hearts with anxiety, they finally decided to take the matter into their own hands and find out for themselves where their husbands were and how they were faring. Two of these women were Timothy Phelps' wife and William Shipman's wife. It is thought that a third may have been Nathaniel Phelps' wife, and it has also been suggested that an unmarried sister or two may have accompanied them. Timothy Phelps' wife was Martha Crow, who was born in Windsor in 1670, and was therefore 36 years old. Her husband was 43, and at the time they had five children, Martha, 16, Timothy, 13, Noah 12, Cornelius, 8, and Charles, 4. It is supposed that the oldest daughter, Martha, may have stayed at home to look out for the younger children. Perhaps one reason why Martha, Timothy's wife, was bent on making the trip to the new settlement of her husband was an account of a poignant memory of a painful experience which had happened in her family years before. Her father, Christopher Crow, as tersely noted on Windsor records, had 'disappeared for parts unknown.' His wife, Mary Burr Crow, Martha's mother, going in search of him was never heard from again, so the children were left fatherless and motherless, although, it is said, well provided for. The mystery of the disappearance of the parents has never been solved, though descendants have made all possible research. Probably it was Martha who was the leading spirit in the Hebron walking trip. Strange Disappearance. They undoubtedly started out early in the morning on a pleasant summer day, wearing homespun garments and stout shoes. No doubt, too, they carried along with them as much provision in the shape of food as they could manage, samples of their own cooking maybe, with which to regale their husbands who had been so long deprived of such good things. Supposedly the trip went well at first; the trail not difficult to follow, logs over the streams easy to cross, the woods green and pleasant with the sun shining through here and there, marks on the trees to set them right when they were at all doubtful. One can picture them resting by the side of some brook, along about noon, eating their carefully carried lunch, and drinking from the stream. By that time their feet were getting tired and they were a little stiff and lame. They went on a little slower, and by and by it began to grow darker in the thick woods, harder to make sure of their way. And at last dusk came creeping on. The shadows gave the trees a weird look. They could no longer distinguish the marks on the trees. It is no wonder that the wayfarers strayed from the trail, casting about in a panic until they brought up in the lower part of Gilead. Only there was not any Gilead then, nothing but wilderness of trees. As the darkness deepened, they heard hoarse, ominous sounds, and they wandered wildly here and there in the attempt to find their bearings. No doubt well trained in woods lore the women managed to reestablish their way in the right general direction. Finally they stumbled by chance upon a great boulder in the vicinity of Burrow Hill, near Edwin T. Smith's place. Mr. Smith is a descendant of the Nathan Smith mentioned by Peters in his account. But of course nobody lived there then. They hailed the great rock as a heaven sent refuge, and managed somehow or other to scramble up on its rugged sides and cast themselves down on its broad, flat top. If at this stage they gave way to 'lamentations' as the facetious historian, Peters, would have us believe, it is hardly to be wondered at, but I believe that after they had taken a minute or two to catch their breaths and send up a prayer to heaven, they made the welkin ring with a loud hallooing, in the hope that maybe, just possibly, the men would hear them and come to their rescue. Rescued. The distance across the valley from the rock to the place where the log houses were located in not so far that such a call might not have been heard on a still summer evening. And what a meeting that must have been when the men came hurrying pell mell, to find the women on top of the rock! After having walked considerably further than twenty miles, in their wanderings, these hardy pioneer women must have been almost exhausted, but it can easily be imagined that in their delight at finding their 'men folks,' they forgot their weariness and were able to continue the mile or so more to the pleasant little log houses in their promised land. Nathaniel Phelps' wife was Hannah Bissell, a daughter of Samuel. From the women of this party many Hebron people have descended, indeed, it is probably not too much to say that about all the old Hebron families can trace back to them in one way or another. The rock of the story may be seen today just as it was when the women scrambled atop of it, and many parties of young people or others interested in historical lore continue to visit it.

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.)" 2. Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, pp. 608-611: "Pinney (Pynney, Pinne). (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. Edmund Pynney's will informs us that he had a bro. John the elder, and a bro. John the younger; a sister Alice, who m. a Way; a sister Johanna, who m. Giles Godwin. John the elder m.

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.'

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: i. Samuel, b. Dorchester say 1636; m.

Windsor 24 February 1663[/4?] [CTVR 17; Grant 58]; m. by 1686 Sarah Clark (eldest child b. Windsor 17 January 1686 [Loomis Rec 1:31]), daughter of Daniel Clark [Windsor Hist 2:153]. 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.

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.

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.)" 2. Henry R.

Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, pp. 563-65, has the following information, but I omit the first part which states he was born in 1599 in Tewkesbury in County Gloucester and married Elizabeth since this is not regarded as being correct as explained in notes above: "William... came to Dorchester, Mass., with Rev. Mr. Warham, of whose church, formed in Plymouth, England, he was an original member. - Old Church Records. He was accompanied hither by his wife and five children... He was from the first a prominent and highly respected citizen at Dorchester, his name frequently occurring in the "Mass. Records." 19 Oct 1630, he applied to be made a freeman; 9 Nov 1630, he was one of the jury empaneled for the trial of Walter Palmer for the murder of Austin Brotchus - the first trial by jury in New England; 27 Sep 1631, he was appointed Constable of Dorchester; 4 Mar 1634, Ens. Gibbs and Wm. Felps were appointed by the Genreral Court to go with a committee of three to arrange the borders between Boston and Dorchester, and explain what each town wants; 5 May 1635, he was a member of the General Court of Massachusetts from Dorchester. In the spring of 1636 he removed with his children (his wife having died in Dorchester) to Windsor, whither his brother George is understood to have preceded him, in the first emigration of Mr. Warham's church in the fall of 1635. In Windsor, as in Dorchester, he ranked as an honored and active citizen; was a member of the first court held in Connecticut, 1636; also in 1637, which declared war against the Pequots; was a magistrate from 1638 to the close of 1642; foreman of the first Grand Jury 1643; deputy to Gen. Ct. 1645, '46-'49, '51, '57; in 1658 was again made magistrate and held the office for 4 years after; is frequeintly named on the petit jury; in 1641 was appointed together with Mr. Welles of Hartford a committee on 'lying'. He was an excellent, pious, and upright man in his public and private life, and was truly 'a pillar in church and state.' His residence in Windsor was about three-quarters of a mile N.W. of Broad St on the road to Poquonock, on a place owned (1859) by Dea. Roger Phelps. He m.

The periodical "The American Genealogist," 75(2000):26, "Phelps Corrections," by Myrtle Stevens Hyde, FASG: "The purpose of this discussion is to correct two errors in my article on the "English Origin of William Phelps" in TAG 65(1990):161--66 (both corrections belong on page 103). In that presentation, the death date of William Phelps's wife was, given as 21 November 1675, an error, first of all, for 27 November 1675. But, with sincere gratitude to recent communication from Peter H. Judd of New York City.[1] and assistance to him by Donna Holt Siemiatkoski of Windsor, Connecticut, the date can be totally changed. The wife that William1 apparently brought to New England with him was Ann Dover. His death occurred on 14 July 1672 in Windsor, Connecticut. The 1675 death that I and others had listed for his wife was as above, the entry in the Windsor Vital Records being for "William Phelps his wife." Another entry in the same records fits much better: "Mrs Ann Phelps" 30 August 1689.[2] The reasons are: first, there is no other Ann Phelps in Windsor to whom this entry might likely apply; second, her name was the same as the wife of William1; third, at that period the "Mrs" denotes a person of respect (which would fit the wife of William1), rather than showing her marital status; and fourth, the 1675 entry of "wife" rather than "widow" indicates a woman whose husband was alive, and WiIliam1 was then deceased. Robert Charles Anderson, in his "Great Migration Begins," gives the 1689 death date for Ann (Dover) Phelps. The other correction is for the death of the first wife of William2. I gave it as 15 July 1674 in Windsor, citing George E. McCracken, "Robert Wilson of Farmington, Conn.," TAG 52(1976):78. That article gives no specific source for the 1674 date, and that date does not appear in the Windsor Vital Records. In fact, the vital records have no date for "Isabel Phelps." William's first wife, who was first the wife of Robert Wilson. William married, second, in December 1676. Undoubtedly the 27 November 1675 death of "William Phelps his wife" belongs to Isabel.

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.'

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.

I Timothy Phelps of Windsor, being very aged yet retaining a good measure of understanding and memory, do make this my last will and testament: Imprinis. I give, devise and bequeath all my estate whatsoever, both real and personal to my three sons, William, Cornelius and Samuel, to have, hold and improve the same in trust for the use of my wife during her natural life, and after her decease my will is, and I hereby do give and devise all my housing and lands with the appurtenances to my sons, Timothy Phelps, William Phelps, Cornelius Phelps, Samuel Phelps, Nathaniel Phelps, and heirs of Joseph Phelps in room of their father, to be equally divided into six equal parts, provided always, and it is my will that they pay and make up to their sisters, Sarah, Hannah, Ann, and Martha, my daughters, or to their heirs and to the heirs of my daughter Abigail, deceased, 48 pounds as money apiece; and my will is that what they have already rec'd. as entered upon my book shall be reckoned as part of sd. summs and my 2d. son and the heirs of my son Joseph shall pay their sisters and their heirs above mentioned in equal proportion, except that the heirs of Joseph shall pay 4 pounds more than an equal proportion, and my son Cornelius 4 pounds less than an equal proportion.

I appoint my wife Mary and my three sons, William, Cornelius and Samuel, to be executors. John Mansfield. Thomas Moore. And whereas, I being aged and my wife soe, and not knowing how long it may please God to continue my life, and not knowing what debts and charge may arise before I leave this world, my will is that my sons and my daughters and their heirs shall pay their equal parts and shares of my debts and charges after my decease, and my daughters, Sarah, Hannah, Ann, and Martha, and the heirs of Abigail, shall have 46 pounds apiece with what they have already had, to be paid as money out of my estate after my decease. By the charge as above mentioned I intend that if there be any extraordinary charge, so that the improvement of my estate will not maintain me.

Mr. Warham, of whose church, formed in Plymouth, England, he was an original member. - Old Church Records. He was accompanied hither by his wife and five children... He was from the first a prominent and highly respected citizen at Dorchester, his name frequently occurring in the "Mass. Records." 19 Oct 1630, he applied to be made a freeman; 9 Nov 1630, he was one of the jury empaneled for the trial of Walter Palmer for the murder of Austin Brotchus - the first trial by jury in New England; 27 Sep 1631, he was appointed Constable of Dorchester; 4 Mar 1634, Ens. Gibbs and Wm. Felps were appointed by the Genreral Court to go with a committee of three to arrange the borders between Boston and Dorchester, and explain what each town wants; 5 May 1635, he was a member of the General Court of Massachusetts from Dorchester. In the spring of 1636 he removed with his children (his wife having died in Dorchester) to Windsor, whither his brother George is understood to have preceded him, in the first emigration of Mr. Warham's church in the fall of 1635. In Windsor, as in Dorchester, he ranked as an honored and active citizen; was a member of the first court held in Connecticut, 1636; also in 1637, which declared war against the Pequots; was a magistrate from 1638 to the close of 1642; foreman of the first Grand Jury 1643; deputy to Gen. Ct. 1645, '46-'49, '51, '57; in 1658 was again made magistrate and held the office for 4 years after; is frequeintly named on the petit jury; in 1641 was appointed together with Mr. Welles of Hartford a committee on 'lying'. He was an excellent, pious, and upright man in his public and private life, and was truly 'a pillar in church and state.' His residence in Windsor was about three-quarters of a mile N.W. of Broad St on the road to Poquonock, on a place owned (1859) by Dea. Roger Phelps. He m. (2) at Windsor, Mary Dover, b. in England, and who is said to have been a fellow passenger with him on the 'Mary and John.' She was a member of original church of Dorchester and Windsor. - O.C.R. After a residence of 42 years in New England, ow which 36 where passed in Windsor, he died there 14 Jul 1672; his widow d. 27 Nov 1675. - O.C.R. In the Old Church Records and other Windsor records, Mr. Phelps was distinguished from his son William as 'Ould Mr. Phelps.' children (by first marriage, born in England): A. William, b. abt. 1620 (in a deposition taken at Hartford 29 May 1677, is mentioned as being about threescore years of age - i.e. b. 1617); removed from Dorchester with his father to Windsor where he was admitted to member of Windsor church 17 Nov 1639. - O.C.R. He m. (1) Isabel Wilson, 4 Jun 1645, 'now since 29 years and has had no child,' 15 Jul 1674 (O.C.R.); she admitted to Windsor 11 Mar 1654 (O.C.R.); d.s.p. He m. (2) Sarah (dau. Humphrey) Pinney, 20 Dec 167 (O.C.R.); she was b. 19 Nov, bp. 3 Dec 1648; he sett. one-third of his ppy. on her before marriage; no issue by her. He was made a freeman at Hartford 1669; d. 7 Feb 1681; contrib. 9 s. to Conn. Fund for Relief of Poor of other Cols., 1676. His noncupative will, dated 10 Feb 1681 gives all his land to his bro. Timothy. (He had land near his father, and his homestead on the N. side of the E. and W. road which ran from Josiah Ellsworth's {late Peter Brown's} house to the Rivulet. It was garrisoned in King Philip's War (1675/6) by details of Windsor men. William,. Jr. was a worthy man, tho' not a conspicuous figure as compared with his father. He had one of his wife's nephew's, Samuel Wilson, reside with him, and possibly (O.C.R.) adopted him. He gave him land on the opp. side of road form his own house. In making Sarah Pinney his second wife he executed a jointure before marriage, giving her much of his property, and a controversy arose, after the death of 'William the younger,' concerning this land, between her and the adopted son. William Phelps owned the W. part of the Ellison-Orton lot, 40 rods on highway, and bought of Sam.

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.

Court, as by the Records of the Court may fully appear. And that the sd. Difference may be put to an End and fully issued, they the sd. Gillett and the sd. Adams have mutually and full agreed, and do by these presents fully and absolutely agree in manner and form following: ( - - ) And for Confirmation hereof, and every part of this Agreement, we have hereunto set our Hands this 30th day of April, 1695. Witness: Daniel Clarke sen., Joseph Mygatt. [Signed:] Jonathan Gillett, Peter Brown, Cornelius Gillett, Samuel X Adams, DEBORAH X Adams." [From this we ascertain that Jeremiah's wife was Deborah who later married Samuel Adams. Brothers include Jonathan, Cornelius; and a probable nephew: Peter Brown (probably a nephew at age 25 in 1693). We can also infer a probable relationship with next door neighbor Josiah Gillett. Also confirms ages of Timothy Phelps, Sr. at 54 in 1693 and Joseph Loomis (son of John) as 41 in 1693.] MARRIAGE: 1.

Servin of Lenox, Massachusetts, 1899, pp. 88-89: "Nathaniel Phelps, b. England, about 1627, emigrated to New England with his father, in ship Mary and John, settling with his father in Dorchester, removing to Windsor, Ct., in 1635-6, where he m. Elizabeth Copley, 17 Sep 1650. She was an English lady. Says the Hon. James H. Phelps of Townshend, Vt., a descendant of the family of Elizabeth Copley, in England was the celebrated artist, John Copley, father of Lord Lyndhurst, who on the 30th of April, 1827, became Lord Chancellor of England.' Lord Lyndhurst appears to have no knowledge of this connection, as may be seen from his letter herewith attached. As this connection must be traced back over 200 years, here is no reason to doubt the same. Mrs. Phelps died in Northampton, Mass., 6 Dec 1712, some ten years after her husband. Her will probated in Northampton, Vol. II, 1678-1716. Reference is made to her sons Nathaniel and William Phelps, who are to have the land her husband left her, to be divided equally between them. Her homestead also to be divided between them, Nathaniel to have the side he lives in, and William the other side. To Abigal 50 pounds; to the children of Matthew and Mary Closson 5 pound each; to her son-in-law, Matthew Closson, 10 shillings; to Thomas Copley 3 pounds; to Samuel and John Lankton 20 shillings each. Mr. Phelps resided on the Orton place opposite his father's homestead, which he purchased of his brother Samuel. Here he resided up to 1656-7, when he removed with part of his family to Northampton, Mass., one of his first settlers. Says Stiles: 'He was a pious man of good intellect, and of a sound, discriminating judgment - was one of the first deacons of the N. Church. His homestead was occupied by him for 43 years, and by his descendants until 1835.' His homestead comprised the land which was over fifty years ago occupied by Miss Margaret Dwight's school, and which at a later date was a College Institute of J.J. Dudley, Esq., and which is now Shady Lawn. The old homestead stood a few rods north of that edifice. (Clark's Northampton Antiquity). Although Mr. Phelps, removed to Northampton in 1656-7, we find him paying slip rent in Windsor 4 Jan 1659. 8 Feb 1679, Dea. Nathaniel Phelps, with his sons Nathaniel Jr. and William, took the oath of allegiance before Worshipful Maj. Pynchon. 11 May 1681, he was made a freeman by the General Court at Boston. He died in Northampton 27 May 1702, aged 75 years, honored and respected. His children were: I. Mary, b. Windsor, Ct., 21 Jun 1651, m. Matthew Closson. II. Nathaniel, b. Windsor, Ct., 2 Jun 1653, m.

[Nathaniel Pinney was the brother of Sarah Pinney who married Samuel Phelps' brother William.] Mr. Phelps bought 1st Oct., 1657, Thomas Orton's house and land south of road separating it from his father's homestead, and brother William's: the house stood on the rear of the lot just opposite his father's house. This lot was a triangular shape, 4 rods on the rivulet, 60 rods on east and west road, 40 rods on Mill road, and 47 rods on the southeast line. The rear of this lot and house he sold to his brother Nathaniel, and removed to Poquonock, where he had received a grant of land, and where he also bought John Bartlett's place east of Stony Creek, and north of Thomas Holcomb's, and running east of the rivulet. Here he died 15th May, 1669. He witnessed a deed of land to his father by the Indians in 1666. January 8th, 1660, he paid rates for short slips, 7 shillings, highest amount assessed that year.

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 quote of what is fully quoted in the notes of Edward Griswold: "Edward was baptized July 26, 1607 at Wooten Wawen, Warwickshire, England. He was the son of George Griswold born Nov. 6, 1574, and his first wife Dousabel (possibly Leigh, Lye, Ley) who was buried Aug. 28, 1615 at Wooten Wawen. Edward married ca. 1628 Margaret (surname unknown) who was born ca. 1609, making her age 20 at the birth of her first child and 43 when her last child was born. Margaret died Aug. 23, 1670 at Clinton, originally Killingworth, Conn. Her gravestone marked 'M.G. 1670' is the oldest stone in the cemetery behind the Congregational Church in Clinton. However it does not show the patient devotion nor the hardship endured in rearing her family in that vast wilderness... Edward married (2) Sarah Dimond Bemis, daughter of John and Rebecca (Bemis) Dimond and widow of James Bemis, constable of New London, who died in 1665. Her daughter married as his first wife, John, youngest son of Edward and Margaret. The date of Edward's second marriage was before Dec 25, 1672 when a deed of gift to his son John was executed 'of and for natural affection and also for divers other good causes' giving John 'my housing and land lying and being in the the Township of Killingworth' for which John was to pay to: 'Samuel son of ffrancis Griswold deceased ₤60 when he attains the age of 21 and if he dye before he be twenty-one years of age then John is to pay ₤5 a year to his six sisters the daughters of ffrancis. In case John dye childless and have no issue then the ₤60 or the ₤30 is to be returned by those that inherit the land to the widdow and relict of John Griswold or whom he shall bequeath it to. And all the above sayde land and housing so returne to the eldest sons of George, Joseph and Samuel Griswold the imediat sons of Edward Griswold Snr and if they have no sons then to their eldest daughters. Also the sayde John Griswold is to kepe all the housing in good repayre and to allow to my wife after my decease the use and benefit of the parlors and meadow to kepe two cowes during the time of her widdowhood. Also if John Griswold dye and have no issue his widdow is to enjoy the one halfe of the housing and lands during the time of her widdowhood. Witnesses: Tobias Hull, Jonas Westover.

The earliest reference of John Ramage being in what is now Laurens County, South Carolina is a petition made by John on 2 December 1766 for 200 acres of land. In 1768, John Vaughn received 150 acres "butting and bounding to the south on land laid out for John Ramage." This land was located on Warriors Creek in the northern part of what is now Laurens County, South Carolina (Colonial Plats, Volume 14, page 534). Records in 1770, would indicate that John Ramage never took posession of the land which had been surveyed for him on Warriors Creek. A Memorial of 500 acres presented to Edward Garrett in 1770 was described as being located in the forks between the Broad and Saluda Rivers including a "former survey laid out for John Ramage on a branch of Enoree River called Warriors Creek" (Memorials, Volume 10, page 299, from roll 881, AD 647). In 1773, John Ramage received a Royal Grant consisting of 500 acres of land located near Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church. The land had been surveyed in 1772 and the grant was signed in 1773. This land was also located near the land granted to Joseph Adair (Index to Memorial Grants, South Carolina Archives, Volume 28, page 112)." [Kerry's note: the term "royal" probably is incorrect since the grants at that time were colonial.] John Ramage's wife was named Jean (sometimes listed as Jane). She appeared on the estate settlement of Joseph Adair (ca. 1790) as being his daughter. We do not know the birth date of Jean (Jane) Adair Ramage. It appears that John Ramage had children during the 1750's (maybe as early as 1747) before they migrated to South Carolina. This has led some to wonder if Jean was John's second wife. Documentation has been found that would indicate that the following were children of John Ramage: Mary Ramage Dillard, Benjamin Ramage, and Josiah Ramage. While we think that it is possible that James Ramage and/or Capt. Joseph Ramage were sons of John Ramage, we have found no document that would substantiate this. We would hope to find a legal document that will list all of the children of John Ramage. During the late 1980's, documents were found that would prove that John Ramage of Laurens District, South Carolina was an American Patriot during the American Revolution. These documents confirmed that John Ramage was among the Laurens District Patriots who were part of the American invasion of East British Florida during 1778. Later John Ramage signed a petition to the Governor of South Carolina in support of his Colonel, James Williams, prior to the Battle of Kings Mountain. John and Jean Adair Ramage's family was listed on the 1800 Laurens County, South Carolina census. They were never listed on another census, which leads us to believe they both died during the first decade of the 1800's. At this time we have been unable to find a will or an estate settlement for either John or Jean Adair Ramage. In 1990, a monument in memory of John Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, South Carolina." 2.

Joyce Packenham 'Mrs. Wallace' Ramage of Mesa, Arizona, was instrumental in researching the disposition of John and Jean Adair Ramage's land. Of the 500 acre grant which John Ramage received in 1773, all the land has been accounted for with the exception of six acres. The following disposition took place: 5 Jun 1789 - 90 acres were sold to Robert Bell. 1 Jan 1799 - 94 acres were sold to Nathan and Jane Davis. 16 Feb 1799 - 100 acres were sold to Benjamin Ramage. 16 Feb 1799 - 110 acres were sold to Josiah Ramage. 1804 - 100 acres were sold by John Hutson, Robert and Mary Hutson, and Robert and Hannah McCord. There is no record of this 100 acres being sold by John Ramage. The second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina. John Ramage is considered the earliest Ramage to migrate to Laurens County, SC. The next generation of Ramages in Laurens County, SC included: Capt. Joseph Ramage, James Ramage, Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage, and Benjamin Ramage. At this time we have documented proof that Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage and Benjamin Ramage were children of John Ramage. As for Capt. Joseph Ramage and James Ramage, it is possible that they may have been sons of John Ramage but additional documentation is needed before we can say for certain. It has always been a family tradition that there were three Ramage brothers who settled in Livingston County, Kentucky from Laurens County, South Carolina. Two of the brothers were thought ot have been James Ramage and Josiah Ramage. We do not have documented proof of a third brother although there was a Jesse Ramage in the Kentucky Militia in 1803. This Jesse Ramage may have been a brother. Jesse Ramage would be considered in the second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina if documentation is found to substantiate that he was in fact a brother to James Ramage and Josiah Ramage who migrated to Kentucky. At this time we have found no records in South Carolina pertaining to this Jesse Ramage. It should also be noted that there may have been females who were part of the second generation. By having been married we have not been able to associate them with our Ramage family. Capt. Joseph Ramage (mid 1700s-1825) was born in Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina at an early age (reference: 'Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas,' F.A. Battey and Co., 1889, pages 95 and 96). He was an American Revolutionary patriot in Laurens District, South Carolina. He married Elizabeth Bourland, a daughter of William and Mary Bourland, who were neighbors of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage in Laurens County, SC. The children of Capt. Joseph and Elizabeth Bourland Ramage were: John Ramage, James Ramage, Jane 'Jennet/Jenny' Ramage Bonds, Robert Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage Sparks, Elizabeth Ramage Wesson, Jesse Ramage, Joseph Ramage, Rebecca Ramage Dabage (Dobage), and J.L. Ramage. In 1990, a monument in memory of Capt. Joseph Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, South Carolina. James Ramage (1760s-ca. 1831), his wife, Lucy (Lydia), and their family migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. James and Lucy (Lydia) Ramage's children included: John Ramage, Thomas Ramage, Judah 'Judith' Ramage Phillips, Jane Ramage Stalion, Josiah Ramage, Nancy Ramage Kidd East Mitchell, Margaret Ramage Glass, and Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens (note: land transaction would indicate that Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens may have been a daughter of James Ramage but it is not fully documented at this time.) Mary Ramage Dillard (early 1760s-ca. 1795) considered an American Revolutionary Heroine because of her late night ride to warn the American Patriots of an impending attack. Her effort is said to have prevented a Tory victory at Blackstocks (Tarleton's first defeat in South Carolina). Mary was the wife of Capt. James Dillard. Capt. James Dillard and Mary Ramage were the parents of: John Dillard, Priscella Ramage Dillard Garrett, Jane 'Jennie' Dillard Burke, Elizabeth Dillard Harris, George W. Dillard, Samuel Dillard, and Mary 'Polly' Dillard Garrett. Documentation has been found that proves Mary Ramage Dillard was a daughter of John Ramage. Josiah Ramage (1760s-1823), his wife, Margaret, and their children migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. Land records in Laurens County, SC indicate that Josiah Ramage was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage. Josiah and Margaret Ramage's children included: Joseph Francis Ramage (we believe that Joseph Francis Ramage was son of Josiah but it is not fully documented at this time), John Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage McElmurry, William Benjamin Ramage, James Ramage, Jane Ramage McElmurry, Jesse Ramage, Josiah Ramage, Jr., and Sharlet (Charlotte) Ramage McElmurry. Benjamin Ramage (4 Oct. 1773-ca. 1812) and his wife Eleanor Adair, were the parents of: John Jewel Ramage, Benjamin 'Ben' Ramage, II, and George Washington 'Wash' Ramage. Land records in Laurens Co., SC indicate that Benjamin Rambae was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage." 4. The book "The Ramage Family of Laurens, South Carolina," 1999, Martis D.

Records indicate that our Ramage family in Laurens County, South Carolina, migrated to the area from Pennsylvania by the 1760s. A. Various spelling of Ramage. In researching for records concerning our Ramage ancestors we should be aware that the name has ahd various spellings. While Ramage is by far the most common spelling, we have seen our ancestors spell the name using double m's (Rammage). Other spellings can usually be contributed to the official recording documents spelling the name as they thought it should have been . The various spellings of the surname that we have seen are: Ramage, Rammage, Ramadge, Ramaidge, Famiadge, Ramidge. B. Joseph Ramage of New Castle County, Delaware: a.

This reference to Josiah Ramage's will would indicate that his two sons, John and Josiah Ramage would have had to have been born by December 30, 1730, since the will is quoted as having named his two sons. Josiah and Jannet Ramage's son, John Ramage, may have been the John Ramage who was the earliest known Ramage to settle in what is now Laurens County, South Carolina." D.

John Ramage, b. 1 Jan 1727. Mary Ramage, b. 14 Dec 1729. Jane Ramage, b. 2 Jan 1731. Rebecca Ramage, b. 13 Jan 1733. Some of the children listed above may have been children of James and Jane Beard Ramage but at this time we do not have documentation to prove this. We have found no references related to James and Jane Beard Ramage following hteir marriage. On will ntote that the list of children born in Philadelphia stops in 1733. Were some of the children born in Philadelphia children of James and Jane Beard Beard Ramage? What happened to this family? It is possible that James Ramage in Philadelphia was related to the Ramages in Newcastle County, Delaware. It is also possible John Ramage, born in 1727 in Philadelphia, was the John Ramage who settled in South Carolina. We would like to obtain addtional information on the children of James and Jane Beard Ramage and any other Ramages who lived in Philadelphia during the early 1700s. In the book 'Colonial Scotch-Irish of the Carolina Piedmont,' by C.G. Davidson, he mentions that in the 1750s, John Duncan of Aberdeen, Scotland settled on a creek, now bearing his name (Duncan Creek) and in a few years, a number of families from Pennsylvania settled above him - Adairs, McCrarys, Mitchells, Ramages, etc. One will note that the Beards also moved to South Carolina from Pennsylvania. Were these Beards related to Jane Beard Ramage? F. Miscellaneous Records of Cumberland/Franklin County, Pennsylvania. a. Historical Records: From the book 'History of Cumberland and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania,' published by Warner, Beers and Company, 1886, pages 15-18, the following is written: 'The first settlers in the North Valley and the region to the northward, embraced in what was Cumberland County, were mostly Scotch-Irish, a fearless and aggressive people who were impatient at the delays of the land office, and began as early as 1740-42 to settle on lands to which the Indian titles had not been fully extinguished. The Indians very naturally regarded them as intruders, and in 1750 threatened to settle matters in their own way if the Government failed to put a stop to the proceedings. Measures were promptly adopted to expel the intruders. In a report ot the Pennsylvania Governor, James Hamilton, in 1750 the following concerns Wed., the 30th of May 1750. The magistrates and company, being detained two days by rains, proceeded over the Kittochtinny Mountains and entered into the Tuscarora Path, or Path Valley, through which the road to Alleghany lies. Many settlements were formed in this valley, and all the people were sent for and the following persons appeared: Abraham Slack, James Blair, Mose Moore, Arthur Dunlap, Alezander McCartie, David Lewis, Adam McCartie, Felix Dayle, Andrew Dunlap, Robert Wilson, Jacob Pyatt, Jacob Pyatt, Jr., William Ramage, Reynolds Alexander, Samuel Patterson, Robert Baker, John Armstrong and John Potts, who were all convicted by their own confession to the magistrates of the like trespasses with those at Shearman's Creek, and were bound in the like recognizance to appear at court, and bonds to the proprietaries to remove with all their families, servants, cattle and effects, and having all voluntarily given possession of their houses to me, some ordinary log houses to the number of eleven were burnt to the ground, the trespassers, most of them cheerfully and very few of them with reluctance, carrying out all their goods.' b. Land Records: John Ramiadge received a warrant on 14 Sep. 1751 for 50 acres which was surveyed in the county of Lancaster but at that thime was Cumerland County, Pennsylvania. We should try to obtain additional information concerning this John Ramiadge (Ramage). Of interest would be if either the deed when he bought the land or the deed when he sold the land included the name of his wife. In the book 'History of Franklin County,' published by Beers 1887 (page 597) the follwing information concerns this John Ramage and the land: John Ramage (land entry September 14, 1751) neighbors: Joseph Shirk, Adam Burkholder, James Stewart and Bernard Lutz. c.

Franklin County Church Records: Josiah Ramage was a pew holder during Rev. John Craighead's ministry (1768-1798) at the Rocy Springs Church which was near Chamnbering, Franklin Co., PA. Listed on #22 are the following names: William Davis, James Davis, and Josiah Ramage. 'History of Rocky Springs Church,' compiled by Rev. S.S. Wiley and A. Nevin Pomeroy, 1894. h. Greene Township: From the book 'Historical Sketch of Franklin County,' I. H. McCauley, page 136, (compiled ca. 1880) a description of Greene township states that it was formed out of the eastern end of Letterkenny township in 1788. The oriignal settlers in this township (then Hopewll or Lurgan) were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, who came into it contemporaneously with the settlement of surrounding districts. Among the settlers were the Armstrongs, Thomsons, Ramages, Stewarts, Culberstons, M'Clays, Hendersons, Criswells, Bittingers, Fergusons, Bairds, and Johnsons whose descendants are among the most worthy in the township,and still adhere to the faith of their forefathers. i. Microfilm - Franklin Co., PA - Subj. History, GSF #424853, O #856049, page 59: Josiah Ramage killed his wife, Mary, 24 March 1785 in Letterkenny Township by hitting her on the head with fire tongs. He was executed 3 May 1785 by hanging by Sheriff Jermiah Talbot on a hill later called Gallows Hill at Chambersburg. G. Misc. Records of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: In Hopewell there is a record of a Josiah Ramage who married Mary Kerr. They were listed in her father's estate settlement in 1746. It should be noted that George Ramage of Scotland (born ca. 1660) married Janet Kerr in 1694. We have no documentation that would support a connection between Jane Kerr Ramage's family in Scotland and Mary Kerr Ramage's family in Pennsylvania. It is interesting to note that the Kerr family was associated with the Ramages both in Scotland and in America. a. Revolutionary Records: A John Ramage was born 8 June 1750 in Hanover in Lancaster County, PA. John Ramage was living in Lancaster County when he joined the Revolutionary Patriots during their struggle for independence during the American Revolution. John Ramage served five months during 1776, 4 months in 1777, and two months in the fall of 1778. Following the Revolution, John Ramage lived in Lancaster, Northumberland, and Lycoming counties of Pennsylvania. At the time he asked for his pension he was 82 years old. The pension record gives reference to the date of his birth as coming from 'a register kept by his father.' (Reference: From the Revolutionary file of John Ramage of Pennsylvania). b. Tax Lists: John Ramge, 1780 West Haven. William Ramage, 1780 West Haven. H. Misc. Records of Pennsylvania: Letter to the Governor of New England. The following is from a petition taken from 'History of Dauphin County, PA,,' Vol. 1, Luther Reily Kelker, page 23. 'We, whose names are underwritten, inhabitants of ye North of Ireland, Doo- in our own names, and in the names of many others our Neighbors, Gentleman, Ministers, Farmers, and Trademen, Commissionate and appoint our trusty and well-beloved friend, the Reverend Mr. William Boyd, of Macasky, to his Excellency the Right Honorable Collonell Samuel Shute, Governor of New England, and to assure His Excellency of our sincere and hearty inclination to Transport oursleves to that very excellent and renowned Plantation, upon our obtaining His Excellency suitable encouragement; and further, to act and Doo in our names as Prudence shall direct. Given under our hands this 26th day of March, Anno Dom. 1718.' Thomas Ramadge was among many signatures. The greater number of the signers of the above petition, or memorial letter, found homes in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is said that of the 309 petitioners there were only thirteen who did not write their signatrues. I. Later Ramage Immigrants: It should be noted that during the late 1700s and throughtout the 1800s, Ramages migrated to the United States and many of these families settled in Pennsylvania. These Ramages should not be confused with our family who had settled in the state earlier. Records indicate that our family had left Pennsylvania during the 1760s although they may have left family behind." 5. Website http://www.bfhawkins.com/Pages/RamageFamily.htm 9 Jul 2005: From: Ruth Ramage McElhaney, author of: Livingston County, Kentucky Ramages, 1802-1994 "The name of our earliest Ramage ancestor to arrive in the New World is unknown. Neither do we know the exact date of his arrival. We do know that our family is of Scotch origin and possible, may have been originally French. After the Scottish Rebellion many Scotsmen were banished to Ireland where they lived in constant turmoil from the Catholic population and the feudal land system. The first mass migration of the Scotch-Irish to America took place about 1710-1720. Our family arrived in the New World at about that time." "The earliest record found is the marriage of the widow of Alexander Ramage in 1678 in the Virginia Colony. Alexander Ramage was an English Sea Captain. No connection has been found between our family and Alexander Ramage. The next record found was the marriage of James Ramage to Jean Beard on 28 November, 1724 at the Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, PA.... No further record of this family has been found. Contemporary in age with this James Ramage was a Josiah Ramage of Newcastle County, Delaware. No marriage record for Josiah has been found but his wife's name was Jannet (Jeanette, Jean, Jane) as recorded in a legal document appointing Joseph Adair, Sr. as the administrator of the estate of Josiah Ramage, deceased as of 30 December, 1730... Signing this document were Jannet (Ramage) Tate, John Ramage and Josiah Ramage of Cumberland County, PA. The estate was settled in 1756." [Comment note dated 11 Jul 2005 from Jett Hanna [jettplane@aol.com]: Looked at this more closely...I think the Ruth Ramage McElhaney book probably misstates some of the source material, based on the reports of the deeds and other documents. John Ramage doesn't look to be connected to Joseph Adair, only to Josiah Ramage and his family. Josiah died in 1730, but the family didn't sell the land until the 1750s. I think the only legal document Ms. McElhaney is referring to "appointing Joseph Adair, Sr. as the administrator" is the power of attorney given to Joseph Adair Sr. in 1755. There is no probate for Josiah. What is really important here is that this more firmly ties the Laurens Adairs to being in the New Castle area."] "The relationship of these two men is not known. That they were closely related is undoubtable as they named their children the same names. Judging by the Scotch tradition of naming the first born son for the paternal grandfather, the father of these two men should have been a John Ramage. The will of a John Ramage was probated in Dublin, Ireland in 1746. His relationship to our family, if any, has not been traced." "Was our John Ramage a son of James and Jane (Beard) Ramage or of Josiah and Janett ?Ramage? To date no documentation has been found to determine his parentage. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate that Josiah and Janet were his parents because of their close connection with the Adair family... "No marriage record has been found for John and Jean (Adair) Ramage. They probably married in PA about 1755-60.... About 1760 Joseph Adair, Sr. left PA and settled near the Waxhaw Colony in SC on the Adair land grant made by the British Crown in 1755. In 1773 John Ramage received a 500 acre grant decreed by King George II of Great Britain. These two grants of land were adjacent and located in the fork of the Enore and Saluda rivers on Duncan's Creek, where John Duncan of Aberdeen, Scotland had settled in 1752. This settlement was made up of Presbyterians from PA and included Beards, Mitchells, Davis, McCrearys, Easts and others. This area was then known as District 96 and later became Laurens County, SC." [Comment from Jett Hanna 10 Jul 2005: "On the 1755 land grant, I will look at details...I think I have searched the SC Archives and council journals pretty well and never found support for Joseph getting a grant this early...I'll review and see when what I call the "Kentucky governor" Adairs got their grants. Not impossible that they could be in NC-boundaries were indistinct at best. I have a deed from PA showing Joseph selling land there in 1764."] "Except for Benjamin Ramage who married Eleanor Adair, no marriage records have been found for any of the children of John and Jean (Adair) Ramage." Records indicate that our Ramage family in Laurens County, South Carolina, had migrated to the area from Pennsylvania by the 1760's. Many early records of Ramages were found in Franklin, Cumberland, Lancaster, and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania (see sidebar), as well as New Castle County, Delaware, which at one time was part of Pennsylvania . Although no proof has yet been found to link our Ramages to any of these families, it is highly likely they were related. It should be noted that during the late 1700's and throughout the 1800's, Ramages migrated to the United States and many of these families settled in Pennsylvania. These Ramages should not be confused with our family who had settled in the state earlier. Records indicate that our family had left Pennsylvania during the 1760's although they may have left family behind. John and Jean (Adair) Ramage died in Laurens County ca 1800-1810 and are, without doubt, buried at Duncan Creek Presbyterian Church where both the Adair and Ramage families were active members. Joseph Adair, Sr's. will was probated in Laurens County in 1804. In it, he names his daughter Jean Ramage, as wife of John Ramage. In his settlement records it is stated that John Ramage built his coffin. Our Ramages were - and are - a pioneering people. From Scotland, to Pennsylvania, to Laurens Co., South Carolina, their pioneering spirit spurred them on to conquer new frontiers. Within the first 3 generations of John and Jean Ramage, their children's descendants continued to explore new territories: • Joseph lived out his life and died in Laurens Co., SC. His descendants were later found in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, and Georgia. • Josiah migrated to Livingston Co., Kentucky in 1802, where he died. Descendants migrated on to Mississippi and Texas. • James migrated to Livingston Co., Kentucky in 1802, where he died. Some of his descendants joined a group of several other families and left the Cumberland River Valley via covered wagon for "Californy" in 1873. • Mary Ramage Dillard lived out her life and died in South Carolina, but her descendants later moved on to Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama. • Benjamin lived his whole life and died in Laurens Co., SC. His family migrated to Arkansas and Alabama. • Elizabeth Ramage Ewing probably died in South Carolina, but her descendants moved on to Texas." 6. Website http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?hugh:ramage:408.html posting of Melinda Tillman March 16, 2002: "My ancestor Elizabeth Ramage is one of my favorite grannies. Because of her pioneer spirit, I have bragging rights to being eighth generation Texan. Elizabeth is believed to be the daughter of John Ramage and Jean Adair. She married Samuel Ewing and had 2 known children, daughters Jane and Margaret, born in the 1770's in Laurens District SC. Samuel Ewing and Joseph Ramage served in Rev War and their wives stayed together during the War. Jane, my ggm married Nathan Davis and Margaret married Obediah Roberts. They lived in the area of Duncan's Creek amongst all the Ramages Ewings Adairs Bourlands Dillards etc. Sam Ewing either died or parted with Elizabeth ca 1800, because she left SC with the Ramages and Davises to settle in Livingston Co KY. In Nov 1802, she married Hugh Lewis in Livingston Co with Nathan Davis as bondsman. The families apparently stayed in KY about 10 years before the Davises and Lewises moved on to Jackson Co IL. Hugh Lewis apparently died in IL or on the way to the wilderness that would later be Texas. Nathan Davis lists his mother in law as a member of his family in a character certificate for the Mexican government in the early 1820's. Elizabeth Ramage Ewing Lewis, being a "widderwoman," qualified for a full headright (translation- HUGE tracts of land just for being qualified as head of household and being on the land that that became the Republic of Texas.) Because of that land and the fact that one of her grandsons, Oran Roberts, later became the Governor of Texas, there is ample documentation to prove the lineage. My mother, her father, his mother and her father were all born in that same area of East Texas now in Shelby and Panola Counties." BIOGRAPHY: 1.

Judging by dates of other estate records recorded on pages preceding and following page 19, the will appears to have been recorded sometime in 1789 or early 1790. There are no loose probate papers for the estate of Joseph Adair; Sr. Joseph Adair, Sr., cooper, married in Ireland? Or in Pa. ? a first wife, said to have been Sarah Laferty. Laurens Co. SC records give no proof data for this wife. She was the mother of Joseph's children. Joseph Adair's will was written 9 Jan. 1788 and proved 1789/90, recorded in Will Book A-1, p. 19. The following children are mentioned in the will: 1. Joseph Adair, b. 12 Apr. 1735 (from lineage chart), died 17 Oct. 1812. He was called Joseph Adair, Sr. after the death of his father. 2. James Adair. b. Dec. 1747, d. 23 Mar. 1831 in Indiana. Proved to have been son of Joseph Adair, Sr. cooper, by the Power-of-Attorney issued to his brother, Benjamin Adair. (Deed Bk. G, p. 666.) 3. Benjamin Adair, b. 1752, d, 3 Sept. 1823. 4. Jean/Jane Adair, b. before 1755, married (John ?) Ramage. [Listed in will as Jean Ramage; some misread writing on will as Leah but it is definitely Jean.] 5. Sarah Adair - Single in 1788? Or married to an Adair?" B. "Jean/Jane Ramage, dau. of Joseph Adair, Sr., cooper. Jane Adair is thought to have married John Ramage. In 1773, John Ramage received a grant of 500 a. on Duncan Creek not far from Duncan Creek Church and Joseph Adair, Sr. The 1800 census of Laurens Co. indicates that both John and Jane were born 1755 or before. There is no will or loose probate records for John Ramage in Laurens Co. On 5 June 1789, John and Jane Ramage sold to Robert Bell, 90 a., part of the 500 a. grant; On 16 Feb. 1799 John and Jane Ramage sold to Benjamin Ramage 100 a., part of the 500 a. grant; on the same day, John and Jane Ramage sold to Josiah Ramage, 110 a., part of the same grant; on 1 Jan. 1799, John and Jane Ramage sold to Nathan (Jonathan) Davis, 94 a., part of the 500 a. grant; Benjamin Ramage and James Ramage were witnesses. The above deeds account for 394 a. of the 500 a. grant. Disposal of the other 106 a. has not been determined. The above deeds are recorded in Bk. C, p. 151; Bk. F, pp. 417 and 418; also p. 423. In the absence of actual proof documents and based on the deeds, a logical conclusion could be drawn that Benjamin Ramage, Josiah Ramage, and Jane, wife of Nathan Davis were children of John and Jane Ramage. James Ramage was also associated with the above and was of an age to have also been a son. A daughter may or may not have married Robert Bell who died intestate by 1792. No wife was mentioned in his estate record, only his daughter, Isabella, who mar. on 15 Aug. 1797, Robert Scott. Mentioned sons were Richard Bell, James Bell, and David Bell, all of whom moved to Livingston Co., Ky. c1800/01. Joseph Ramage who lived in the Duncan Creek area was considered to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage; however, in 1817, Joseph Ramage stated that he was born 5 June 1747 and was too old for jury duty. He may have been too old to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage. Joseph Ramage married Elizabeth Borland and their family is well documented by Marty Ramage in his excellent book. Our Ramage Family, published in 1986. In a letter written to Lyman Draper (*Lyman C. Draper, author of 'Kings Mountain and Its Heroes,' published in 1881) in 1873, Mrs. Nancy E. Boyce. age 71, daughter of Capt. James Dillard and his second wife, stated that the first wife of her father was Mary Ramage, the daughter of John and Jane Ramage. Mrs. Boyce's letter also identified Mary Ramage Dillard as the Mrs. Dillard who warned Sumter at Blackstock's on Tyger River that British soldiers were headed in that direction. Mrs. Boyce also stated that an older sister had been of the opinion that the warning had been taken to Musgrove's Mill. (Comment by compiler: The British were already at Musgrove's weren't they??)

Source for below: Brenda Hawkins, bfhawkins@earthlink.net The earliest reference of John Ramage being in what is now Laurens County, SC is a petition made by John on 2 Dec 1766 for 200 acres of land. In 1768, John Vaughn received 150 acres "butting and bounding to the south on land laid out for John Ramage." This land was located on Warriors Creek in the nothern part of what is now Laurens County, SC (Colonial Plats, Vol 14, pg. 534). Records in 1770, would indicate that John Ramage never took possession of the land which had been surveyed for him on Warriors Creek. A Memorial of 500 acres presented to Edward Garrett in 1770 was described as being located in the forks between the Broad and Saluda Rivers including a "former survey laid out for John Ramage on a branch of Enoree River called Warriors Creek" (Memorials, Vol 10, pg. 299, roll 881, AD 647). 1773, John Ramage received a Royal Grant consisting of 500 acres of land located near Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church. The land had been surveyed in 1772 and the grant was signed in 1773. This land was also located near the land granted to Joseph Adair (Index to Memorial Grants, SC Archives, Vol 28, pg. 112). John Ramage of Laurens District, SC was an American Patriot during the American Revolution. Documents confirmed that John Ramage was among the Laurens District Patriots who were part of the American invasion of East British Florida during 1778. Later John Ramage signed a petition to the Governor of SC in support of his Colonel, James Williams, prior to the battle of Kings Mountain. In 1990, a monument in memory of John Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, SC." 4.

James Williams Petition listing the Adair family Patriots. Note that Thomas Adair's parents are the ones listed as number 4 (Joseph and Sarah) and his grandparents are number 3 (James and Eleanor). Most of the other Adairs were brothers or cousins. The petition has come to me from Mildred Brownlee's manuscript "Early Adairs of Laurens County, South Carolina" and also from the "South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research," vol. 15, p. 32. James Williams was one of the most renown Patriots of the Laurens area and this listing of signers of the petition of the area gives us a good source of patriots also associated with him. Col. James Williams and Capt. Josiah Greer were also military leaders of many of these same individuals during the 1778 American invasion of British East Florida per the source of Doctor George Ross' medical reimbursement papers quoted in this database under Rebecca Montgomery's notes. This petition typescript is item #5767, Manuscript Dept., Wm. M. Perkins Library at Duke University, Durham NC. Submitted by Mrs. Mary Ann McCrary and published with permission of the Manuscript Dept. This petition pre-dates the Battle of Kings Mountain (7 Oct 1780), as Col. James Williams was killed at that time. [NB: a second version of the petition was located in the South Carolina Library in 1999 and the gaps in the Duke University petition were filled in as indicated by brackets.] {Any notes or comments added by me are in these brackets.} "To his Excellen[cy John Rutledge, E]sq.

Ramage, Jr., 4218 Ridgemont Drive, Belden MS, 38826, FHL film 2055402, Item 2, p. 10: "John and Jean Adair Ramage's land. Joyce Packenham 'Mrs. Wallace' Ramage of Mesa, Arizona, was instrumental in researching the disposition of John and Jean Adair Ramage's land. Of the 500 acre grant which John Ramage received in 1773, all the land has been accounted for with the exception of six acres. The following disposition took place: 5 Jun 1789- 90 acres were sold to Robert Bell. 1 Jan 1799- 94 acres were sold to Nathan and Jane Davis. 16 Feb 1799- 100 acres were sold to Benjamin Ramage. 16 Feb 1799- 110 acres were sold to Josiah Ramage. 1804- 100 acres were sold by John Hutson, Robert and Mary Hutson, and Robert and Hannah McCord. There is no record of this 100 acres being sold by John Ramage. The second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina. John Ramage is considered the earliest Ramage to migrate to Laurens County, SC. The next generation of Ramages in Laurens County, SC included: Capt. Joseph Ramage, James Ramage, Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage, and Benjamin Ramage. At this time we have documented proof that Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage and Benjamin Ramage were children of John Ramage. As for Capt. Joseph Ramage and James Ramage, it is possible that they may have been sons of John Ramage but additional documentation is needed before we can say for certain. It has always been a family tradition that there were three Ramage brothers who settled in Livingston County, Kentucky from Laurens County, South Carolina. Two of the brothers were thought ot have been James Ramage and Josiah Ramage. We do not have documented proof of a third brother although there was a Jesse Ramage in the Kentucky Militia in 1803. This Jesse Ramage may have been a brother. Jesse Ramage would be considered in the second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina if documentation is found to substantiate that he was in fact a brother to James Ramage and Josiah Ramage who migrated to Kentucky. At this time we have found no records in South Carolina pertaining to this Jesse Ramage. It should also be noted that there may have been females who were part of the second generation. By having been married we have not been able to associate them with our Ramage family. Capt. Joseph Ramage (mid 1700s-1825) was born in Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina at an early age (reference: 'Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas,' F.A. Battey and Co., 1889, pages 95 and 96). He was an American Revolutionary patriot in Laurens District, South Carolina. He married Elizabeth Bourland, a daughter of William and Mary Bourland, who were neighbors of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage in Laurens County, SC. The children of Capt. Joseph and Elizabeth Bourland Ramage were: John Ramage, James Ramage, Jane 'Jennet, Jenny' Ramage Bonds, Robert Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage Sparks, Elizabeth Ramage Wesson, Jesse Ramage, Joseph Ramage, Rebecca Ramage Dabage (Dobage), and J.L. Ramage. In 1990, a monument in memory of Capt. Joseph Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, South Carolina. James Ramage (1760s-ca. 1831), his wife, Lucy (Lydia), and their family migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. James and Lucy (Lydia) Ramage's children included: John Ramage, Thomas Ramage, Judah 'Judith' Ramage Phillips, Jane Ramage Stalion, Josiah Ramage, Nancy Ramage Kidd East Mitchell, Margaret Ramage Glass, and Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens (note: land transaction would indicate that Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens may have been a daughter of James Ramage but it is not fully documented at this time.) Mary Ramage Dillard (early 1760s-ca. 1795) considered an American Revolutionary Heroine because of her late night ride to warn the American Patriots of an impending attack. Her effort is said to have prevented a Tory victory at Blackstocks (Tarleton's first defeat in South Carolina). Mary was the wife of Capt. James Dillard. Capt. James Dillard and Mary Ramage were the parents of: John Dillard, Priscella Ramage Dillard Garrett, Jane 'Jennie' Dillard Burke, Elizabeth Dillard Harris, George W. Dillard, Samuel Dillard, and Mary 'Polly' Dillard Garrett. Documentation has been found that proves Mary Ramage Dillard was a daughter of John Ramage. Josiah Ramage (1760s-1823), his wife, Margaret, and their children migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. Land records in Laurens County, SC indicate that Josiah Ramage was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage. Josiah and Margaret Ramage's children included: Joseph Francis Ramage (we believe that Joseph Francis Ramage was son of Josiah but it is not fully documented at this time), John Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage McElmurry, William Benjamin Ramage, James Ramage, Jane Ramage McElmurry, Jesse Ramage, Josiah Ramage, Jr., and Sharlet (Charlotte) Ramage McElmurry. Benjamin Ramage (4 Oct. 1773-ca. 1812) and his wife Eleanor Adair, were the parents of: John Jewel Ramage, Benjamin 'Ben' Ramage, II, and George Washington 'Wash' Ramage. Land records in Laurens Co., SC indicate that Benjamin Rambae was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage." 2. Jett Hanna [jettplane@aol.com] provided me on 8 Jul 2005 with a copy of his analysis of the Brownlee manuscript as follows. It mirrors my own understanding; however, anything with which I disagree I note in [brackets]. Jett entitles his paper as "Laurens County Area Adair Family Trees." It is broken down by three families: James Adair who married Eleanor, his brother Joseph who married Sarah Laferty, and a William of whom absolutely nothing is known except just his name on the Williams Petition and that Brownlee notes he died 1780-84 and that his estate was administered 1784 per Abbe Wills, p. 10. Text quoted as follows: "This tree is based on Early Adairs of Laurens County, South Carolina, by Mildred Brownlee. This was provided to me by W. Lee Adair, who obtained it from the Laurens County Public Library. Handwritten notes show a date of 1990 on Brownlee's manuscript. I have not examined these deeds personally. In some cases, notes and questions below are my own additions. This analysis seems to discredit some of the trees in the Adair History and Genealogy, and adds significantly to what is know of the Laurens area Adairs. I have not fully finished analyzing this work, and may have left out parts that are not as critical to my work. "Based on this work, it appears very possible that the elder Joseph Adair (m. Sarah, m. Susannah) and his brother James (m. Eleanor) settled in Laurens County at the same time, as suggested by the Adair History and Genealogy. I do not believe, however, that this James was the author of the book on the Indians and reputed patriarch of the Cherokee Adairs. This James was a cooper (barrel maker) according to the deeds. Modern editions of the History of the American Indians suggest that the author James Adair was a direct immigrant to South Carolina, but with no concrete evidence. "The Williams Petition: In the tree, LCW is Laurens County Wills; LCD is Laurens County Deeds. Also mentioned is the Williams petition. This petition is a significant document in analyzing the Laurens County Adairs. Published in the South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Vol. XV, No. 1 1987, p. 32-33, the original is #5767, Manuscript Department, Wm. Perkins Library at Duke University. The petition is in support of Colonel James Williams, a militia leader of the Patriots in the Laurens area (Little River Regiment). The petition, signed by members of the Little River Regiment, is directed to the Governor of South Carolina and the Privy Counsel, and attests to Williams' devotion to the Patriot cause. Williams led militia in a number of battles. I suspect that this petition was provided prior to Williams' elevation to the rank of Brigadier General following the Battle of Musgrove Mill, which was fought in what is now Laurens County. Williams had been accused of puffing his role in the battle. Williams went on to die at Kings Mountain - one of the few Patriot casualties that day on October 7, 1780. Williams had run for the South Carolina legislature as a Patriot in 1778, only to lose to Robert Cunningham, the infamous Loyalist leader. For more on Williams, see Draper, "Kings Mountain and Its Heroes," (Cincinnati, 1883). Signers of the Williams petition include the following Adairs: Isaac Adair, Jms. Adair, James Adair, Sr., Joseph Adair, Jr., Joseph Adair, Benjamin Adair, Joseph Adair, Sr., James Adair, Jr, son of James, William Adair, John Adair, and John Adair, Sr., and Alexander Adair. Comparing deed and will records to the names, Brownlee identifies the Adair signers [copies Brownlee's explanations]. Brownlee's identifications look very logical to me.

First I most humbly bequeath my soul to God my maker, beseeching his most gracious exceptance of it, through all sufficient merits & meditations of my most compassionate Redeemer Jesus Christ who gave himself to be an atonement for my sins & is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God by him seeing he ever liveth to make intersession for them & who I trust will not reject me a returning penitent sinner when I come to Him for mercy; In this hope & confidence I render up my soul with comfort, humbly beseeching the most glorious & blessed Trinity, one God most Holy most merciful & gratious to prepare me for my disolution then take me to himself into that place of rest & incomparable felicity which He hath prepared for all that love his holy name, Amen; Blessed be God I give my body to the earth from whence it was taken, in full assurance of its resurrection from therein at the last day; As for my burial, I desire it may be decent without pomp or state at the discretion of my dear wife who I doubt not will manage it with all prudence; As to my worldly estate I will & positively order that all my debts be paid & next I give & bequeath to Susanna my dearly beloved wife all my stock of black cattle & hogs with all the pewter of my dresser; one hundred & sixty Continental dollars which is in the hands of my son Joseph Adair & all the store of my grain that may be mine at the time of my death for her support; Also all the farming utentials that belong to me at my death; Also my beds & bed furniture to possess the same during her life, & at her decease to go to my son James Adair, Also to my son Joseph Adair I give & bequeath the remainder of the Continental money that remains in his hands; Also one long posted bedstead & my armed chair; Also I give & bequeath to my son James Adair the one-half of my coopers tools; & other utentials belonging to my trade with the whole of my wearing apparel, & also my chest at the decease of my wife; Also to my son Benjamin Adair, I give & bequeath the other half of my coopers tools & utentials belonging to my trade & also the half of that twenty pounds old currency which he had of me for which he was to have palled a graveyard which he never performed; Also to my daughter Jean Ramage, I give & bequeath my brass seals; Also to my daughter Sarah Adair, I give & bequeath that other half of that twenty pounds old currency which is in the hands of my son Benjamin Adair; Also I give her at the death of my wife, that iron pot that was her mothers with my iron crook; Also I give & bequeath my daughter Mary Owens my biggest iron pot & my course flax hackle at the decease of her mother & to her husband John Owens the one-half of the sawed plank of my loft and floor; & if it shall please God to call me home by this present disease, it is my will that the money he owes me should go to defray my funeral charges; Also to Robert Long my son-in-law, I give & bequeath the other half of plank of my loft & floor; And I do by these presents nominate constitute & appoint & ordain as the executors of this my last will & testament my truly & well beloved sons Joseph & James Adair; & I do hereby revoke & disavow & make null & void every former will by me made ratifying & confirming this & no other to be my last will & testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand & affixed my seal this 9th day of January in the year of our Lord 1788. s) Joseph Adair wit: James Montgomery, William Borland, James (J) Greer' Recording date of the will is not stated. Judging by dates of other estate records recorded on pages preceding and following page 19, the will appears to have been recorded sometime in 1789 or early 1790. There are no loose probate papers for the estate of Joseph Adair; Sr. Joseph Adair, Sr., cooper, married in Ireland? Or in Pa. ? a first wife, said to have been Sarah Laferty. Laurens Co. SC records give no proof data for this wife. She was the mother of Joseph's children. Joseph Adair's will was written 9 Jan. 1788 and proved 1789/90, recorded in Will Book A-1, p. 19. The following children are mentioned in the will: 1. Joseph Adair, b. 12 Apr. 1735 (from lineage chart), died 17 Oct. 1812. He was called Joseph Adair, Sr. after the death of his father. 2. James Adair. b. Dec. 1747, d. 23 Mar. 1831 in Indiana. Proved to have been son of Joseph Adair, Sr. cooper, by the Power-of-Attorney issued to his brother, Benjamin Adair. (Deed Bk. G, p. 666.) 3. Benjamin Adair, b. 1752, d, 3 Sept. 1823. 4. Jean/Jane Adair, b. before 1755, married (John ?) Ramage. [Listed in will as Jean Ramage; some misread writing on will as Leah but it is definitely Jean.] 5. Sarah Adair - Single in 1788? Or married to an Adair?" B. "Jean/Jane Ramage, dau. of Joseph Adair, Sr., cooper. Jane Adair is thought to have married John Ramage. In 1773, John Ramage received a grant of 500 a. on Duncan Creek not far from Duncan Creek Church and Joseph Adair, Sr. The 1800 census of Laurens Co. indicates that both John and Jane were born 1755 or before. There is no will or loose probate records for John Ramage in Laurens Co. On 5 June 1789, John and Jane Ramage sold to Robert Bell, 90 a., part of the 500 a. grant; On 16 Feb. 1799 John and Jane Ramage sold to Benjamin Ramage 100 a., part of the 500 a. grant; on the same day, John and Jane Ramage sold to Josiah Ramage, 110 a., part of the same grant; on 1 Jan. 1799, John and Jane Ramage sold to Nathan (Jonathan) Davis, 94 a., part of the 500 a. grant; Benjamin Ramage and James Ramage were witnesses. The above deeds account for 394 a. of the 500 a. grant. Disposal of the other 106 a. has not been determined. The above deeds are recorded in Bk. C, p. 151; Bk. F, pp. 417 and 418; also p. 423. In the absence of actual proof documents and based on the deeds, a logical conclusion could be drawn that Benjamin Ramage, Josiah Ramage, and Jane, wife of Nathan Davis were children of John and Jane Ramage. James Ramage was also associated with the above and was of an age to have also been a son. A daughter may or may not have married Robert Bell who died intestate by 1792. No wife was mentioned in his estate record, only his daughter, Isabella, who mar. on 15 Aug. 1797, Robert Scott. Mentioned sons were Richard Bell, James Bell, and David Bell, all of whom moved to Livingston Co., Ky. c1800/01. Joseph Ramage who lived in the Duncan Creek area was considered to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage; however, in 1817, Joseph Ramage stated that he was born 5 June 1747 and was too old for jury duty. He may have been too old to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage. Joseph Ramage married Elizabeth Borland and their family is well documented by Marty Ramage in his excellent book. Our Ramage Family, published in 1986. In a letter written to Lyman Draper (*Lyman C. Draper, author of 'Kings Mountain and Its Heroes,' published in 1881) in 1873, Mrs. Nancy E. Boyce. age 71, daughter of Capt. James Dillard and his second wife, stated that the first wife of her father was Mary Ramage, the daughter of John and Jane Ramage. Mrs. Boyce's letter also identified Mary Ramage Dillard as the Mrs. Dillard who warned Sumter at Blackstock's on Tyger River that British soldiers were headed in that direction. Mrs. Boyce also stated that an older sister had been of the opinion that the warning had been taken to Musgrove's Mill. (Comment by compiler: The BRITISH were already at Musgrove's weren't they??) [Children:] ??Joseph Ramage, mar. Elizabeth Borland. Josiah Ramage. b, before 1774, mar. Margaret ___, to Livingston Co., KY. James Ramage, b. before 1774, mar. in Laurens Co., also to KY. Benjamin Ramage b. 4 Oct. 1773, d. Dec.(?) 1811, Laurens Co. mar. Eleanor Adair. b. 2 Jan. 1774, dau. of James Adair and wife, Hannah. ?Jane Ramage, mar. Nathan Davis, No further data. Mary Ramage, b. 1760/62, d. 1795/97. She was the first wife of Capt. James Dillard and the mother of seven children." 4. I list in this database only two of John and Jean Adair Ramage's children: Benjamin because of his marriage to another Adair in my database and Mary, wife of Capt. James Dillard, because of her heroic efforts in the Revolutionary War. BIRTH: 1. Unverified from various databases on Rootsweb Worldconnect. BURIAL: 1.

The book "The Vikings, a History," by Robert Ferguson (Penquin Books, 2010), p. 381, in commenting on the ending of the Viking Age by the effective Christianization of the Scandinavians: "In St. Olav, the Norwegians had had their patron saint since about 1034. The Danes, who had accepted Christianity at the monarchial level some sixty years earlier, had to wait a little longer for theirs. In 1086 Cnut II of Denmark was planning an invasion of William the conqueror's England with a fleet which, somehow, never quite managed to leave the waters of the Limfjord. I was almost as though the memory of how such things were done was fading. Before it had returned he was dead, murdered by his enemies in the church of St. Alban, in Odense. As St. Cnut he was canonized in 1101." The farm of Skibstedgaard at the western entrance of the Limfjord was the rallying point for this invasion force. Tina Thurston, academic and author of the 2001 book "Landscapes of power, landscapes of conflict: state formation in the South Scandinavian Iron Age," sent me this email in 2001 about Skipstedgaard, which was a magnate farm. Thurston had been doing some archaelogical digs at the farm: "Re: magnate farms -- yes, you are correct that they indeed run counter to the Dane's traditional system. They were not local -- they were representatives of the king, and were part of the move, on the part of the central government, to change the Danes from a sort of "democratic " society into one much more like other parts of Europe. In fact, the reason we are excited is because a magnate farm would sort of offer proof that the kings indeed had their eye on this area and wanted to get rid of the local rulers in favor of their own men." 2.

The manor of Ightham was possessed temp.

The Jameses were originally, says Philpot, called Hastrecht, from a lordship fo that name, which they possessed near Utrecht. (The family of Hæstrecht was allied by marriage to the ancient and eminent houses of Wassenaer and Waermont.) Roger, son of Jacob Van Hæstrecht, emigrated into England in the reign of King Henry VIII. and being known, after the Dutch manner, by the name of Roger Jacobs, the English at length called him Roger James.

Parents of these godChildren included William Huler (Hulen) and wife, Selah; Robert Purrier (Pryor/Prior) and wife Frances; and Arthur Richardson and wife, Mary. 3. Website of Lynn Parham at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lynn.parham/savidge.htm: "We believe John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant John Mangum, married Olive Savidge. She was apparently a daughter of Robert Savidge of Surry Co., Virginia. In his will of 1697 he names his sons Charles and Lovelis and his daughter Olive. The 1728 will of Loveless Savidge mentions an Olive Manggum. John Mangum Jr. died in 1744 and his estate was administered by Olive Mangum. Olive was a godparent to several children in the Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., Virginia after John's death. We suspect those children were Olive & John's grandchildren. We also suspect that another child was John Mangum 4. Mangum Family Bulletin, REPRINT 1987 (as Issue Number 4), [Originally issued as Volume 1, Number 4], Issue Number 4, December 1969, edited by James Lynn Parham, pp. 49-50: "By 1728(15) we again have a John Mangum in Surry County. On this date a John Mangum witnessed the Will of John Spratley. It was theorized above that this John was a son of the earlier John. Deeds in 1742 and 1743(20,21) indicate that this John's wife was named Olive. With this in mind, some earlier records concerning the Savidge family assume some importance. In 1697(7) the Will of Robert Savidge names sons Charles and Lovelis and daughter Olive. In 1713(11) the Will of Charles Savidge mentions sons Robert and Lovelis. In 1728(16) the Will of Lovelis Savidge mentions Olive Manggum. It is at least possible that Olive, John's wife, was named Olive Savidge before her marriage and she may have been the daughter of Robert Savidge. However, additional clarification is needed here. In 1744(22) the estate of John Mangum deceased was signed by Olive Mangum as administrator. In 1747(23) Olive witnessed the Will of John Richardson and between 1752 and 1754(24,25,26,27) an Olive Mangum was a godparent to four children born in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County.

(Bennetts and other individuals who have or might have some relationship to the Mangums. These names were taken from microfilm of Surry County records and from various published sources.) 10 June 1674: Southwark Parish had 238 people and Lawnes Creek Parish had 182 people including a John Bennett. 1678 - Jonah Bennett and George Morrell were listed. 1688 - Jno Bennett, Jonas Benett & William Bennitt. 1692 - John Mangle (page 280), Robert Savadge, Charles Savage, Wm.

Bennett & Tho Ward. 1694 - James Bennett, Jonas Bennett, William Bennett, George Morrell (Jr. & Sr.), Robert Savage & Charles Savage. Notes on Surry County, Virginia Tithables: a. It is unknown who Jonah Bennett is, and whether or not he has any connection to the Richard Bennett Sr. family. b. George Morrell sold and received land to/from John Mangum in 1695/6. c. John Mangle is listed only because of the similarities to the name 'John Mangum'. It presents some interesting coincidences, coming one year before the first listing of our John Mangum in 1693. The English 'Mangles' have been given some consideration for the procurer of the Mangham/Mangum name. See the "Origins" articles in the Journal, beginning with issue 39. [A subsequent issue of this Journal, no. 45 as quoted above, indicates this is in fact John Mangum in his earliest record in America.] d. John Mangum (Jr.?) apparently married Olive Savidge sometime before 1728. There is no known marriage record, but John & Olive Mangum were selling land as man and wife in 1728. e. Richard Bennett Jr. married Sarah, widow of Daniel Lewis. She married Robert Lancaster after Richard Bennett Jr. died. In her 1722 Will in Isle of Wight County she mentions Mary and Sarah Mangum, daughters of John Mangum. f. John Mangum appraised the estate of Thomas Ward in 1728. 6. The book "Wills and Administrations of Surry County, Virginia, 1671-1750," by Eliza Timberlake Davis, p. 114: "SAVIDGE, Robert: Leg. To wife, (Mary Savidge) my dwelling place, 265 acres, and at her death to son, Charles Savidge. Mentions son, Lovelis Savidge. Daughter, Olive Andrews, household goods, cattle, etc. Mary Savidge, Exerx. Made: 17 March, 1697/8. Prob.: 3 May, 1698. Book 5, p. 155. 7. The following transcriptions are various land and tithable records from 1681 on showing the Savage family. The mentions are incidental to the transcriber's research into the family of Phillips and may not be 100% complete. In reviewing these limited records, I make the following observations: 1. Charles is mentioned from 1681 on and Robert from 1685 in descriptions of various land deeds. No Lovelis is mentioned until 1719/1720. Henry is mentioned from 1735. 2. In the tithables (taxes), both Charles and Robert are mentioned from 1681 on. In 1697, Robert appears for the last time. The two Charles show up (the original one plus one associated near Jno. Baker) in 1696 and 1697. Lovelis shows up for the first time in 1700. This roughly coincides with Robert's death in 1698 where he names his two sons Charles and Loveless in the will. From the two Charles listed, it would appear that perhaps there was an older Charles and a younger Charles. Perhaps the older could be a brother to Robert, but not knowing the exact age of Robert, he may have been a son - it does seem strange though that Loveless only appears from 1700 on whereas Charles was 1681 on. The junior Charles could have been the son of Robert or perhaps the son of the original Charles - more info is needed to sort out this puzzle. 3. A Henry shows up in tithables from 1691 on in Lawne's Creek Parish, and then exclusively in Southwark Parish from 1694 on. His exact connection to the other Savages/Savidges is currently unknown. 4. Sarah ___ is confirmed the wife of the Loveless who is the son of Robert. 5. In the tithables, a Mary Savage is identified in 1699 and a "Widdow" Savage in 1701. These could very well be the same person and the wife of the deceased Robert of 1698. Transcription from the Surry County Virginia Records: Email from Debra [mailto:kylea@jps.net] April 01, 2007; Re: Savage family in regards to the Phillips family: "The Savage family lived very near my Phillips; they were neighbors. When you pull the Surry CO VA Surry records you will soon understand this. I am going to attach one of my files for you. I do have many of these original records (scanned), but not all. I still have quite a bit to add to this file = it is always a work in progress. Though the focus is on the various Phillips that lived in the area during this time period, there are several Savage records. The focus of this file is aimed at specific individuals or families who lived in Colonial Surry CO, VA (area) prior to 1760, and is specifically focused on the Phillips family... The data (records) presented are a basis for further study, but readers should not use the hypothesis and theories as fact. A. County Formation Background: Isle of Wight and James City Counties were (both) formed in 1634 and were original Shires. Isle of Wight was formerly known as Warrosquyoacke; name changed to Isle of Wight (IOW) in 1637. Lawne's Creek Parish VA was established by the General Assembly in 1640 in that part of James City County south of the James which would later become part of Surry CO VA (formed 1652). It bore the name of Capt. Christopher Lawne who settled in 1619 in the area which was referred to as Lawne's Plantation and Lawne's Creek. This parish was small, beginning "from the Mouth of Hogg Island creek along by the James river to Lawnes Creek and from Lawnes creek to the head of the uppermost branches of the said creek and from the head of the branches of Lawnes creek to the branches of Chippokes [Chipoakes] creek westerly and thence to the mouth of Chippokes creek and thence to Hogg Island creek." (Charles Francis Cocke, Parish Lines Diocese of Southern Virginia, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA, 1979, p. 58) Southwarke Parish, established in 1647, covered the large area between the two Chippokes, whereas the Lawne's Creek Parish covered the relatively narrow area between Lower Chippokes (Lower Chipoakes) and Lawne's Creek. When Surry County was formed from James City County (the part south of the James) in 1652, it included both Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish. Surry County, Virginia, was named for the English County of Surrey. County court records begin with 1652. In 1720 Brunswick CO, was formed from parts of Prince George CO, Isle of Wight CO and Surry CO. Portions of Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish thus became part of St. Andrew's Parish in Brunswick County VA. Brunswick County was not fully organized until 1732, so look for records in both jurisdictions during this time period. In Nov 1738 the General Assembly "enacted the parishes of Southwark and Lawne's Creek be divided by the Blackwater River." (Cocke, p. 60) Therefore, portions of the two parishes between the James and Blackwater River became Southwark, and those south of the Blackwater were joined to form the new parish of Albemarle, the name Lawne's Creek parish fading into history. Southampton CO, VA was formed April 30, 1749 from Isle of Wight and Nansamond. It is located South of Surry but adj to it. It is also located adj to Isle of Wight to the West. Surry, IOW and Southampton all come together in a "tri county" area. Sussex County was formed in 1753 from the part of Surry County that was south of the Blackwater River." B. Various references to the Savage family in Debra's research on the Phillips family: a. "On March 1, 1681 'A' Charles Savage was granted probate on the estate of Alice Jordan [relict of Richard who died 1687. This Richard Sr was f/o Richard Jr who marr Elizabeth Reynolds.

She was apparently a daughter of Robert Savidge of Surry Co., Virginia. In his will of 1697 he names his sons Charles and Lovelis and his daughter Olive. The 1728 will of Loveless Savidge mentions an Olive Manggum. John Mangum Jr. died in 1744 and his estate was administered by Olive Mangum. Olive was a godparent to several children in the Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., Virginia after John's death. We suspect those children were Olive & John's grandchildren. We also suspect that another child was John Mangum 4. "The Mangum-Mangham-Mangrum Journal," Issue No. 49, July 2002, (formerly "Mangum Family Bulletin"), James L. Parham, editor, pp. 21-28, article includes scanned images of the actual documents. The editor notes: "The will of Lovelis Savidge (and inventory) [involves]... Mangums in early Virginia. In this case we believe that John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant, married into this Savidge family, probably marrying Olive Savidge who is mentioned in the will as Ollife Manggam. The will image is very poor in some sections, and the handwriting is difficult to read. My transcription probably has many errors, so be careful in using this information... (EDITOR'S Comments ON The Will/INVENTORY of LOVELIS SAVIDGE: On 17 March 1697/8 the will of Robert Savidge named sons Charles and Lovelis and dau. Olive. (Probated 3 May 1698. Surry County Bk 5, page 155.). We believe the Lovelis Savidge of the will [below] is that son of Robert mentioned in his 1697/8 will. Lovelis probably named a daughter after his aunt Olive Savidge, and this daughter married John Mangum (Jr.), son of the immigrant John Mangum. There are several records which show that this John Mangum (Jr.) was married to Olive and some of these will be presented in later parts of this series. Note that the clerk who transcribed the will spelled the surname "Savidg", omitting the "e". Olive is spelled "Ollife Manggam." It is unknown if this official record of the will is a faithfully copy of the original will. Of course, Lovelis could not write his name and he had a quite peculiar signature mark like an upside down "L". The spelling in the will was quite poor, even more so than is usual in the antiquated writings of the time. Note also that a James Bennit witnessed the will. There still seemed to be a tie between these "second generation" Mangums and Bennetts. It is unfortunate that I could not decipher the parish where Lovelis resided. If you can make it out from the image supplied, or if you by chance run across a better copy of the will in your Virginia microfilm searches, please let me know. Also, in my copies, the first part of the second page was totally black. That part of the will does not seem to contain anything significant, but if anyone sees the original, or a better microfilm copy, please make a note of it, and if possible a copy for me. Finally, I could not decipher that 'inserted' word after "..of Lovelis Savage..." from beginning of second line of the inventory. Maybe you can?). [Note also that the will is confusing in that is seems to list two separate sons, Lovelis and Lovlis, each receiving a feather bed - I believe this to be a slip of the pen and they are one and the same.]: Will of LOVELIS SAVIDGE, dated 6 Oct. 1728.

Mangum Family Bulletin, REPRINT 1987 (as Issue Number 4), [Originally issued as Volume 1, Number 4], Issue Number 4, December 1969, edited by James Lynn Parham, pp. 49-50: "By 1728(15) we again have a John Mangum in Surry County. On this date a John Mangum witnessed the Will of John Spratley. It was theorized above that this John was a son of the earlier John. Deeds in 1742 and 1743(20,21) indicate that this John's wife was named Olive. With this in mind, some earlier records concerning the Savidge family assume some importance. In 1697(7) the Will of Robert Savidge names sons Charles and Lovelis and daughter Olive. In 1713(11) the Will of Charles Savidge mentions sons Robert and Lovelis. In 1728(16) the Will of Lovelis Savidge mentions Olive Manggum. It is at least possible that Olive, John's wife, was named Olive Savidge before her marriage and she may have been the daughter of Robert Savidge. However, additional clarification is needed here. In 1744(22) the estate of John Mangum deceased was signed by Olive Mangum as administrator. In 1747(23) Olive witnessed the Will of John Richardson and between 1752 and 1754(24,25,26,27) an Olive Mangum was a godparent to four children born in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County.

The following transcriptions are various land and tithable records from 1681 on showing the Savage family. The mentions are incidental to the transcriber's research into the family of Phillips and may not be 100% complete. In reviewing these limited records, I make the following observations: 1. Charles is mentioned from 1681 on and Robert from 1685 in descriptions of various land deeds. No Lovelis is mentioned until 1719/1720. Henry is mentioned from 1735. 2. In the tithables (taxes), both Charles and Robert are mentioned from 1681 on. In 1697, Robert appears for the last time. The two Charles show up (the original one plus one associated near Jno. Baker) in 1696 and 1697. Lovelis shows up for the first time in 1700. This roughly coincides with Robert's death in 1698 where he names his two sons Charles and Loveless in the will. From the two Charles listed, it would appear that perhaps there was an older Charles and a younger Charles. Perhaps the older could be a brother to Robert, but not knowing the exact age of Robert, he may have been a son - it does seem strange though that Loveless only appears from 1700 on whereas Charles was 1681 on. The junior Charles could have been the son of Robert or perhaps the son of the original Charles - more info is needed to sort out this puzzle. 3. A Henry shows up in tithables from 1691 on in Lawne's Creek Parish, and then exclusively in Southwark Parish from 1694 on. His exact connection to the other Savages/Savidges is currently unknown. 4. Sarah ___ is confirmed the wife of the Loveless who is the son of Robert. 5. In the tithables, a Mary Savage is identified in 1699 and a "Widdow" Savage in 1701. These could very well be the same person and the wife of the deceased Robert of 1698. Transcription from the Surry County Virginia Records: Email from Debra [mailto:kylea@jps.net] April 01, 2007; Re: Savage family in regards to the Phillips family: "The Savage family lived very near my Phillips; they were neighbors. When you pull the Surry CO VA Surry records you will soon understand this. I am going to attach one of my files for you. I do have many of these original records (scanned), but not all. I still have quite a bit to add to this file = it is always a work in progress. Though the focus is on the various Phillips that lived in the area during this time period, there are several Savage records. The focus of this file is aimed at specific individuals or families who lived in Colonial Surry CO, VA (area) prior to 1760, and is specifically focused on the Phillips family... The data (records) presented are a basis for further study, but readers should not use the hypothesis and theories as fact. A. County Formation Background: Isle of Wight and James City Counties were (both) formed in 1634 and were original Shires. Isle of Wight was formerly known as Warrosquyoacke; name changed to Isle of Wight (IOW) in 1637. Lawne's Creek Parish VA was established by the General Assembly in 1640 in that part of James City County south of the James which would later become part of Surry CO VA (formed 1652). It bore the name of Capt. Christopher Lawne who settled in 1619 in the area which was referred to as Lawne's Plantation and Lawne's Creek. This parish was small, beginning "from the Mouth of Hogg Island creek along by the James river to Lawnes Creek and from Lawnes creek to the head of the uppermost branches of the said creek and from the head of the branches of Lawnes creek to the branches of Chippokes [Chipoakes] creek westerly and thence to the mouth of Chippokes creek and thence to Hogg Island creek." (Charles Francis Cocke, Parish Lines Diocese of Southern Virginia, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA, 1979, p. 58) Southwarke Parish, established in 1647, covered the large area between the two Chippokes, whereas the Lawne's Creek Parish covered the relatively narrow area between Lower Chippokes (Lower Chipoakes) and Lawne's Creek. When Surry County was formed from James City County (the part south of the James) in 1652, it included both Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish. Surry County, Virginia, was named for the English County of Surrey. County court records begin with 1652. In 1720 Brunswick CO, was formed from parts of Prince George CO, Isle of Wight CO and Surry CO. Portions of Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish thus became part of St. Andrew's Parish in Brunswick County VA. Brunswick County was not fully organized until 1732, so look for records in both jurisdictions during this time period. In Nov 1738 the General Assembly "enacted the parishes of Southwark and Lawne's Creek be divided by the Blackwater River." (Cocke, p. 60) Therefore, portions of the two parishes between the James and Blackwater River became Southwark, and those south of the Blackwater were joined to form the new parish of Albemarle, the name Lawne's Creek parish fading into history. Southampton CO, VA was formed April 30, 1749 from Isle of Wight and Nansamond. It is located South of Surry but adj to it. It is also located adj to Isle of Wight to the West. Surry, IOW and Southampton all come together in a "tri county" area. Sussex County was formed in 1753 from the part of Surry County that was south of the Blackwater River." B. Various references to the Savage family in Debra's research on the Phillips family: a. "On March 1, 1681 'A' Charles Savage was granted probate on the estate of Alice Jordan [relict of Richard who died 1687. This Richard Sr was f/o Richard Jr who marr Elizabeth Reynolds.

Virginia Court actions (1741-1751) mentioning: John Mangum (II), his wife Olive Savidge, and his orphaned Children; his brothers James, William, and Samuel Mangum; and miscellaneous Savages/Savidges. We know that Olive Savidge had brothers Love/Love Jr./Loveliss and Robert since all three are identified in the 1728 will of Loveliss Sr.. The relationship of the other Savages/Savidges - Benjamin, Henry, William and his wife Mary, and John - is undetermined from these documents and further research is needed. (Henry and Loveliss Savidge are named in the same document which would indicate some type of relationship.)

| 4697 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. The book "Wills and Administrations of Surry County, Virginia, 1671-1750," by Eliza Timberlake Davis, p. 114: "SAVIDGE, Robert: Leg. To wife, (Mary Savidge) my dwelling place, 265 acres, and at her death to son, Charles Savidge. Mentions son, Lovelis Savidge. Daughter, Olive Andrews, household goods, cattle, etc. Mary Savidge, Exerx. Made: 17 March, 1697/8. Prob.: 3 May, 1698. Book 5, p. 155. 2. There appears to be a divergence in opinion between Lynn Parham, editor of the Mangum Journal, and John Palmer, author of the Mangum book, both quoted below. Even though it appears both are using the same original records, Lynn suggests that the Olive Savidge who married John Mangum II was a granddaughter of Robert Savidge thru his son Lovelis and that there were actually two Olive Savidges: an aunt (sister to Lovelis) and a niece (dau. to Lovelis). John, on the other hand, suggests that there was only one Olive and she was the dau. of Robert and brother to Lovelis. Lynn is correct for the following reasons: a. Lovelis Savidge definitively names Olive as his daughter and married to Mangum. This leaves no doubt as to the relationships. In Robert Savidge's will, Olive is named as a daughter and married to an Andrews. b. If John Mangum II was born ca. 1694 as currently theorized, then Olive would have probably been born about the same time or later. In Robert Savidge's will of March 1697/8 [Gregorian Calendar], he names three children. From their will probates, his two sons have subsequent death dates of 1713-1718 and 1728-1729, which is approximately an average generational shift. Judging from his sons' deaths, one would also assume that Robert was in the normal later years making a recently born infant Olive improbable. In fact he names her married as Olive Andrews. 3. The book "The Mangums of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Utah and Adjoining States," by John T. Palmer, Santa Rosa, 1992, FHL film 1697868, pp. 4-5, issue of John Mangum and Frances Mangum, first Child: " John Mangum, b. ca. 1703, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA, m. Olive Savidge, dau. of Robert Savage. His [John Mangum's] estate was administered 20 Dec 1744, Surry Co., VA, by Olive Savidge Mangum, m. bef. 6 Oct 1728 who was godparent to four children born in the Albemarle Parish of Surry Co., VA. Parents of these godChildren included William Huler (Hulen) and wife, Selah; Robert Purrier (Pryor/Prior) and wife Frances; and Arthur Richardson and wife, Mary. 4. Website of Lynn Parham at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lynn.parham/savidge.htm: "We believe John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant John Mangum, married Olive Savidge. She was apparently a daughter of Robert Savidge of Surry Co., Virginia. In his will of 1697 he names his sons Charles and Lovelis and his daughter Olive. The 1728 will of Loveless Savidge mentions an Olive Manggum. John Mangum Jr. died in 1744 and his estate was administered by Olive Mangum. Olive was a godparent to several children in the Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., Virginia after John's death. We suspect those children were Olive & John's grandchildren. We also suspect that another child was John Mangum (John III?) who moved to Mecklenburg Co., Virginia. His son, John, was a Revolutionary War patriot. His descendants were the subject of a book by Mrs. Delta Ivy Mangum Hale." 5. "The Mangum-Mangham-Mangrum Journal," Issue No. 49, July 2002, (formerly "Mangum Family Bulletin"), James L. Parham, editor, pp. 21-28, article includes scanned images of the actual documents. The editor notes: "The will of Lovelis Savidge (and inventory) [involves]... Mangums in early Virginia. In this case we believe that John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant, married into this Savidge family, probably marrying Olive Savidge who is mentioned in the will as Ollife Manggam. The will image is very poor in some sections, and the handwriting is difficult to read. My transcription probably has many errors, so be careful in using this information... (EDITOR'S Comments ON The Will/INVENTORY of LOVELIS SAVIDGE: On 17 March 1697/8 the will of Robert Savidge named sons Charles and Lovelis and dau. Olive. (Probated 3 May 1698. Surry County Bk 5, page 155.). We believe the Lovelis Savidge of the will [below] is that son of Robert mentioned in his 1697/8 will. Lovelis probably named a daughter after his aunt Olive Savidge, and this daughter married John Mangum (Jr.), son of the immigrant John Mangum. There are several records which show that this John Mangum (Jr.) was married to Olive and some of these will be presented in later parts of this series. Note that the clerk who transcribed the will spelled the surname "Savidg", omitting the "e". Olive is spelled "Ollife Manggam." It is unknown if this official record of the will is a faithfully copy of the original will. Of course, Lovelis could not write his name and he had a quite peculiar signature mark like an upside down "L". The spelling in the will was quite poor, even more so than is usual in the antiquated writings of the time. Note also that a James Bennit witnessed the will. There still seemed to be a tie between these "second generation" Mangums and Bennetts. It is unfortunate that I could not decipher the parish where Lovelis resided. If you can make it out from the image supplied, or if you by chance run across a better copy of the will in your Virginia microfilm searches, please let me know. Also, in my copies, the first part of the second page was totally black. That part of the will does not seem to contain anything significant, but if anyone sees the original, or a better microfilm copy, please make a note of it, and if possible a copy for me. Finally, I could not decipher that 'inserted' word after "..of Lovelis Savage..." from beginning of second line of the inventory. Maybe you can?). [Note also that the will is confusing in that is seems to list two separate sons, Lovelis and Lovlis, each receiving a feather bed - I believe this to be a slip of the pen and they are one and the same.]: Will of LOVELIS SAVIDGE, dated 6 Oct. 1728.

Issue No. 4 "Mangum Family Bulletin," Dec. 1969 "John Mangum of EARLY Virginia," by James L. Parham Foreword This article marks the beginning of a series of articles on the Mangum family. The articles will be concerned with specific individuals or families, migrations or other periods of transition. The purpose of the articles are threefold. First, they will attempt to clarify some of the misconceptions concerning various families or persons, second they will present some of the problem areas needing further research, and third they will begin the difficult task of connecting the various Mangum lineages. Many of the conclusions presented will of necessity be by inference or guesswork and will be subject to change as additional information is gained. Readers should use the data presented a basis for further study and not as actual fact. These articles were begun with some hesitancy since they could result in lineage errors is used unwisely. However, a theory or hypothesis is sometimes a great help to a researcher, whether he is a scientist or a genealogist. So, please use caution! Introduction Most researchers with a Mangum ancestor are naturally curious about the origin of the Mangum family in America. This is true even though they are several generations away from connecting their own lineage to the original immigrant and have no assurance that there is actually a connection. The editor is no exception. Most researchers agree that the first Mangum immigrant came to Virginia shortly before 1700. This is based on the fact that we have found no earlier record of a Mangum in Virginia or any other colony. These early Virginia records concern one or two John Mangums in Isle of Wight and Surry Counties. There has been a great deal of confusion about just what these records mean, with each researcher having his own opinion and basing his opinion on what few records he has. The discussion below will present all records that the editor has been able to obtain and hopefully will clear up some of the confusion concerning these records. John Mangum of Surry County, Virginia The first records of a John Mangum in the new world begin on 25 May 1695.(2,3)* On this date Richard Bennett Sr. sold 100 acres of land in Surry County, Va. to John Mingham. John is living in Lower Parish, Surry County, and Richard is living in Upper Parish, Isle of Wight County. On the 23rd of March 1695/6, John Mangum sells this land to George Morrell in exchange for 90 acres of land in Isle of Wight County.(4,5) John is still living in Surry County at this time (Lawnes Creek Parish). You will note that the name is spelled Mingham, Mangum and Mangham in these deeds. Such variations were not uncommon in that day. Names were generally spelled by the way they sounded to the clerks and officials that kept the records. On the 4th of May 1696(6) John Mangham was involved in a court suit. Here, the Surry County records concerning John Mangum appear to stop, at least for a time. The records above suggest several probabilities. First, if we assume that John was at least 21 years old when he purchased land from Richard Bennett Sr., then we get a birthdate of 1674 or before. The absence of earlier records suggest that he was an immigrant. In later records, we find that John Mangum was closely associated with the Bennett family. A full discussion of these Bennetts is given in References 1 and 28. Lastly, you would expect the absence of further Surry records of a John Mangum to mean that John either moved or died. Here, the obvious conclusion is that he would move to where he had purchased land, that is, Isle of Wight County. John Mangum of Isle of Wight County, Virginia In 1704(8) the quit rent of Isle of Wight County lists a John Mangann with 100 acres of land. This is apparently the 90 acres that John bought from George Morrell. The 10 acre discrepancy may possibly be explained by the suggestion that the acreage was given in round figures, but that remains to be seen. In 1707(9) John Mangum witnessed the Will of John Parson, and in 1709(10) he is mentioned in the Will of Richard Bennett Sr. This John Mangum was apparently married to one Frances ___, granddaughter of Richard Bennett Jr. In 1709 John Mangum is mentioned in the Will of Richard Bennett Sr.(10) In 1720(12) Richard Bennett Jr. names Frances Mangum in his Will and calls her granddaughter. In 1737 Frances Mangum signs the inventory of the estate of John Mangum as administrator.(19) It is probable that John Mangum married Frances by 1709 and possibly as early as 1695. This latter date is the date of the deed from Richard Bennett Sr. to John Mingham. We have no clue to the parents of Frances, but Boddie(28) lists the children of Richard Bennett Jr. as Richard, Jane(Cofer), Silvester, Ann(Bell) and James. One of these may have been one of her parents. In 1722(13) Sarah Lancaster, widow of Richard Bennett Sr., names Sarah and Mary Mangum as daughters of John Mangum. Both must have been unmarried at this time. John Mangum left additional records in Isle of Wight(14,17,18) and died in 1737.(19) In summary, it appears that John Mangum was an immigrant and was born in 1674 or before. He originally lived in Surry county, Virginia but later bought land in Isle of Wight County and moved there. He married Frances, granddaughter of Richard Bennett Jr. Since Frances has relatives in Isle of Wight and may have been born there, this may have provided the incentive for John's move to Isle of Wight. The date of their marriage is uncertain, but must have been no later than 1692. It is probable that they had several children. Possibilities include Sarah and Mary* both unmarried in 1722, William of the Albemarle Parish, Surry County, and Nicholas, Henry and John, all of Surry. William, Henry and Nicholas will be dealt with in later articles. This first John died in 1737 and administrator of his estate was Frances Mangum. *An alternate possibility is that Sarah and Mary and even William were grandchildren of John and Frances. John Mangum II of Surry County, Virginia By 1728(15) we again have a John Mangum in Surry County. On this date a John Mangum witnessed the Will of John Spratley. It was theorized above that this John was a son of the earlier John. Deeds in 1742 and 1743(20,21) indicate that this John's wife was named Olive. With this in mind, some earlier records concerning the Savidge family assume some importance. In 1697(7) the Will of Robert Savidge names sons Charles and Lovelis and daughter Olive. In 1713(11) the Will of Charles Savidge mentions sons Robert and Lovelis. In 1728(16) the Will of Lovelis Savidge mentions Olive Manggum. It is at least possible that Olive, John's wife, was named Olive Savidge before her marriage and she may have been the daughter of Robert Savidge. However, additional clarification is needed here. In 1744(22) the estate of John Mangum deceased was signed by Olive Mangum as administrator. In 1747(23) Olive witnessed the Will of John Richardson and between 1752 and 1754(24,25,26,27) an Olive Mangum was a godparent to four children born in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Some of the references and helpful comments were supplied by Mr. Joseph F. Inman, 508 Seneca Rd, Richmond, VA 23226(Genealogist) and Mr. Thomas M. Powell, 606 Highland Ave., Henderson, N. C. 27536. The next planned article will deal with the family of Henry Mangum of Early Virginia. 8. The book "Colonial Surry," by John B. Boddie, copy in the Courtland, Virginia public library, pp. 200-201, has a list named "A List of Tithables Taken June 10, 1694" which contains the following individuals with the surname Savage, which may or may not be a variant spelling of Savidge: Charles Savage, 1 Henry Savage, 1 Robert Savage, 1 9. The following transcriptions are various land and tithable records from 1681 on showing the Savage family. The mentions are incidental to the transcriber's research into the family of Phillips and may not be 100% complete. In reviewing these limited records, I make the following observations: 1. Charles is mentioned from 1681 on and Robert from 1685 in descriptions of various land deeds. No Lovelis is mentioned until 1719/1720. Henry is mentioned from 1735. 2. In the tithables (taxes), both Charles and Robert are mentioned from 1681 on. In 1697, Robert appears for the last time. The two Charles show up (the original one plus one associated near Jno. Baker) in 1696 and 1697. Lovelis shows up for the first time in 1700. This roughly coincides with Robert's death in 1698 where he names his two sons Charles and Loveless in the will. From the two Charles listed, it would appear that perhaps there was an older Charles and a younger Charles. Perhaps the older could be a brother to Robert, but not knowing the exact age of Robert, he may have been a son - it does seem strange though that Loveless only appears from 1700 on whereas Charles was 1681 on. The junior Charles could have been the son of Robert or perhaps the son of the original Charles - more info is needed to sort out this puzzle. 3. A Henry shows up in tithables from 1691 on in Lawne's Creek Parish, and then exclusively in Southwark Parish from 1694 on. His exact connection to the other Savages/Savidges is currently unknown. 4. Sarah ___ is confirmed the wife of the Loveless who is the son of Robert. 5. In the tithables, a Mary Savage is identified in 1699 and a "Widdow" Savage in 1701. These could very well be the same person and the wife of the deceased Robert of 1698. Transcription from the Surry County Virginia Records: Email from Debra [mailto:kylea@jps.net] April 01, 2007; Re: Savage family in regards to the Phillips family: "The Savage family lived very near my Phillips; they were neighbors. When you pull the Surry CO VA Surry records you will soon understand this. I am going to attach one of my files for you. I do have many of these original records (scanned), but not all. I still have quite a bit to add to this file = it is always a work in progress. Though the focus is on the various Phillips that lived in the area during this time period, there are several Savage records. The focus of this file is aimed at specific individuals or families who lived in Colonial Surry CO, VA (area) prior to 1760, and is specifically focused on the Phillips family... The data (records) presented are a basis for further study, but readers should not use the hypothesis and theories as fact. A. County Formation Background: Isle of Wight and James City Counties were (both) formed in 1634 and were original Shires. Isle of Wight was formerly known as Warrosquyoacke; name changed to Isle of Wight (IOW) in 1637. Lawne's Creek Parish VA was established by the General Assembly in 1640 in that part of James City County south of the James which would later become part of Surry CO VA (formed 1652). It bore the name of Capt. Christopher Lawne who settled in 1619 in the area which was referred to as Lawne's Plantation and Lawne's Creek. This parish was small, beginning "from the Mouth of Hogg Island creek along by the James river to Lawnes Creek and from Lawnes creek to the head of the uppermost branches of the said creek and from the head of the branches of Lawnes creek to the branches of Chippokes [Chipoakes] creek westerly and thence to the mouth of Chippokes creek and thence to Hogg Island creek." (Charles Francis Cocke, Parish Lines Diocese of Southern Virginia, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA, 1979, p. 58) Southwarke Parish, established in 1647, covered the large area between the two Chippokes, whereas the Lawne's Creek Parish covered the relatively narrow area between Lower Chippokes (Lower Chipoakes) and Lawne's Creek. When Surry County was formed from James City County (the part south of the James) in 1652, it included both Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish. Surry County, Virginia, was named for the English County of Surrey. County court records begin with 1652. In 1720 Brunswick CO, was formed from parts of Prince George CO, Isle of Wight CO and Surry CO. Portions of Lawnes Creek Parish and Southwarke Parish thus became part of St. Andrew's Parish in Brunswick County VA. Brunswick County was not fully organized until 1732, so look for records in both jurisdictions during this time period. In Nov 1738 the General Assembly "enacted the parishes of Southwark and Lawne's Creek be divided by the Blackwater River." (Cocke, p. 60) Therefore, portions of the two parishes between the James and Blackwater River became Southwark, and those south of the Blackwater were joined to form the new parish of Albemarle, the name Lawne's Creek parish fading into history. Southampton CO, VA was formed April 30, 1749 from Isle of Wight and Nansamond. It is located South of Surry but adj to it. It is also located adj to Isle of Wight to the West. Surry, IOW and Southampton all come together in a "tri county" area. Sussex County was formed in 1753 from the part of Surry County that was south of the Blackwater River." B.

Website of Lynn Parham at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lynn.parham/savidge.htm: "We believe John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant John Mangum, married Olive Savidge. She was apparently a daughter of Robert Savidge of Surry Co., Virginia. In his will of 1697 he names his sons Charles and Lovelis and his daughter Olive. The 1728 will of Loveless Savidge mentions an Olive Manggum. John Mangum Jr. died in 1744 and his estate was administered by Olive Mangum. Olive was a godparent to several children in the Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., Virginia after John's death. We suspect those children were Olive & John's grandchildren. We also suspect that another child was John Mangum 4. "The Mangum-Mangham-Mangrum Journal," Issue No. 49, July 2002, (formerly "Mangum Family Bulletin"), James L. Parham, editor, pp. 21-28, article includes scanned images of the actual documents. The editor notes: "The will of Lovelis Savidge (and inventory) [involves]... Mangums in early Virginia. In this case we believe that John Mangum Jr., son of the immigrant, married into this Savidge family, probably marrying Olive Savidge who is mentioned in the will as Ollife Manggam. The will image is very poor in some sections, and the handwriting is difficult to read. My transcription probably has many errors, so be careful in using this information... (EDITOR'S Comments ON The Will/INVENTORY of LOVELIS SAVIDGE: On 17 March 1697/8 the will of Robert Savidge named sons Charles and Lovelis and dau. Olive. (Probated 3 May 1698. Surry County Bk 5, page 155.). We believe the Lovelis Savidge of the will [below] is that son of Robert mentioned in his 1697/8 will. Lovelis probably named a daughter after his aunt Olive Savidge, and this daughter married John Mangum (Jr.), son of the immigrant John Mangum. There are several records which show that this John Mangum (Jr.) was married to Olive and some of these will be presented in later parts of this series. Note that the clerk who transcribed the will spelled the surname "Savidg", omitting the "e". Olive is spelled "Ollife Manggam." It is unknown if this official record of the will is a faithfully copy of the original will. Of course, Lovelis could not write his name and he had a quite peculiar signature mark like an upside down "L". The spelling in the will was quite poor, even more so than is usual in the antiquated writings of the time. Note also that a James Bennit witnessed the will. There still seemed to be a tie between these "second generation" Mangums and Bennetts. It is unfortunate that I could not decipher the parish where Lovelis resided. If you can make it out from the image supplied, or if you by chance run across a better copy of the will in your Virginia microfilm searches, please let me know. Also, in my copies, the first part of the second page was totally black. That part of the will does not seem to contain anything significant, but if anyone sees the original, or a better microfilm copy, please make a note of it, and if possible a copy for me. Finally, I could not decipher that 'inserted' word after "..of Lovelis Savage..." from beginning of second line of the inventory. Maybe you can?). [Note also that the will is confusing in that is seems to list two separate sons, Lovelis and Lovlis, each receiving a feather bed - I believe this to be a slip of the pen and they are one and the same.]: Will of LOVELIS SAVIDGE, dated 6 Oct. 1728.

Mangum Family Bulletin, REPRINT 1987 (as Issue Number 4), [Originally issued as Volume 1, Number 4], Issue Number 4, December 1969, edited by James Lynn Parham, pp. 49-50: "By 1728(15) we again have a John Mangum in Surry County. On this date a John Mangum witnessed the Will of John Spratley. It was theorized above that this John was a son of the earlier John. Deeds in 1742 and 1743(20,21) indicate that this John's wife was named Olive. With this in mind, some earlier records concerning the Savidge family assume some importance. In 1697(7) the Will of Robert Savidge names sons Charles and Lovelis and daughter Olive. In 1713(11) the Will of Charles Savidge mentions sons Robert and Lovelis. In 1728(16) the Will of Lovelis Savidge mentions Olive Manggum. It is at least possible that Olive, John's wife, was named Olive Savidge before her marriage and she may have been the daughter of Robert Savidge. However, additional clarification is needed here. In 1744(22) the estate of John Mangum deceased was signed by Olive Mangum as administrator. In 1747(23) Olive witnessed the Will of John Richardson and between 1752 and 1754(24,25,26,27) an Olive Mangum was a godparent to four children born in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County.

| 4699 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. The book "Ye Historie of ye Town of Greenwich with Genealogical Notes …," by Spencer P. Mead with the assistance of Arthur S. Kimball (Camden, Maine; Picton Press), pp. 517-18: "According to "Hotten's Lists of Emigrants to America," Phettiplace Close came to Virginia in 1608, and was granted a patent of one hundred acres of land on the James River, in the Corporation of Henrico, in 1626. In response to an inquiry as to him, the secretary and librarian of the Virginia Historical Society, under date of May 29, 1908, states that he has no "evidence to show whether Phettiplace Close (Clause) left a family ... As the name does not appear here later, I think it probable that he was one of the numerous settlers, who succumbed to disease, or was killed by the Indians." The name of Close, in New England, first appears in the will of William Frost of Fairfield, Connecticut, dated Jan. 6, 1644, where one Goodman Close is mentioned as having one of the testator's heifers. (See "Manwaring's Abstract of Hartford Wills," vol. I, page 13.) Goodman Close probably died at Fairfield about 1653, and left him surviving, his widow, Elizabeth, and the following children: Hannah, Thomas, Joseph, and Mary. His widow afterwards married George Stuckey, and had one child, Elizabeth Stuckey. George Stuckey bought land at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1640, sold out in 1645, removed to Fairfield, where he married the widow Close, and later removed to Stamford, Connecticut, with his step-children. His wife died at Stamford, Sept. 4, 1656. He died at Stamford, Sept. 28, 1660, leaving a will, which is recorded in the Stamford Land Records. The will is dated Aug. 23, 1660, and makes mention of the Close children, namely, Mary Close, Thomas Close, Hannah Close, and Joseph Close, then deceased. On the settlement of his estate, Nov. 6, 1660, Mary Close was represented by her guardian, which shows that she was not twenty-one years of age at that time. According to the records, the Close family in New England, in 1660, consisted of Hannah Close, who, June 9, 1657, married Joshua Knapp, Thomas Close, and Mary Close, who, June 25, 1668, married Samuel Holly. A search of the Parish Registers for County York, England, seems to indicate that Goodman Close was born in Grinton Parish, where the family attained considerable prominence. Thomas Close above referred to settled permanently in Greenwich, Connecticut, and was one of the original patentees named in the patent granted to the Town of Greenwich by the General Assembly in May, 1665. He married Sarah, daughter of Richard and Ann (Husted) Hardy, in 1669. He died in Greenwich in 1709, leaving a will, dated Dec. 3o, 1708, which was probated in 1709. He was a member of the General Assembly in 1701. GOODMAN1 CLOSE, b. about 1600, in County York, England, m.

He was in Windsor by 1640, purchasing land originally granted to John Taylor; built a house and sold to Richard Weller in 1645. That was probably the date of his removal to Fairfield, where he purchased property from Nicholas Knell, and sold it to Giles Smith, who had it recorded in his name 17 Dec. 1651.

D35-D36: “Frederick Van Lieuwen (or Van Liew, as it was sometimes spelled) immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1612; which, as remarked in connection with the first Longstreets, was the year in which the Dutch Admiral, Van Tromp, sailed the English Channel with a broom at his mast-head, was seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first religious congregation on Long Island. He was the first of our related families to come over, preceding the Langestraets by five years, and the Lanen van Pelts by eleven years. Not much is known of him. He came from Utrecht, having been probably, at one period, a resident of Leuwen. a village in Gelderland, on the river Waal. He brought his family with him, and settled in the village of Jamaica, on Long Island. He had in all nine children, many of whose descendants are still to be found in Somerset Co., N. Jersey. Their names are not all known, but among them were the following: (1) Jan Fredericks. Jan Fredericks was probably the oldest child; born in Utrecht about 1647-48. He marred Aeltie Jans, daughter of Jan Jansen. Was on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn in the years 1675. '76, ’83, and '93; deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church there, in 1683; took the oath of allegiance, there, in 1687. Issue: Jan, bapt. Dec. 9. 1677; Margriet, bapt. Mar. 14, 1680; Abraham, bapt. July 9, 1682; Grietje, bapt. Apl. 20, 1685; Dina. bapt. Mar. 25, 1687; Esje, bapt. Nov. 10, 1689: Hendrick. bapt. Apt. 30, 1694: and Elizabeth, bapt. Dec. 13, 1697 -- All in the Kings County Churches. (2) Catharina, of whom next. (3) Hendrick. ___ Hendrick was baptised Oct. 14, 1683: married. 1st., ApI. 18, 1713, Geerje Corteiyou of New Utrecht (at which place he probably resided at one time); married, 2nd, Marya ___, and had by her a son, Jurien, who was bapt. Aug. 26, 1721, in New Utrecht. Catharine Van Lieuwen, wife of Dirck Langstraet, was one of the oldest children, probably the second. She was born about 1648-1650, and in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, in all probability must have married about 1669, as her family began to be born about 1670. We have no indication of the date of her death, further than this: that one of her sons was born about 1680, and her husband married a second time in February, 1690; so that she must have died between those dates. It was probably after 1685.” | Marya (I5721)
