Photos of the Descendants of James Harvey Jr and Christina Torrey Brown

🧬 indicates I have an autosomal match to a sibling of someone I descant from. This supports the accuracy of my descent from that branch.

John Quincy Brown is the root person in this branch of my family tree. The tree to the right is for his father James Harvey Brown Jr. His mother Christina Torrey Brown has her own tree. His grandmother Delecty Chase Brown has her own page too due to size of pages.

The Family Groups connected to her are listed alphabetically by surnames. The Interactive Family Tree to the right is an overview road map showing how the Family Groups on this page connect to the root person. Details for a woman are in her husband's box but her name in that box links to her father's Family Group.

Avery Family Tree

Avery Name Meaning: English: from the Anglo-Norman French personal name Auvery, a Norman form of Alfred. It could also be from a variant of the Anglo-Norman French personal name Aubri (see Aubrey). At least in the case of the original Puritan settlers in New England, there has been some confusion with Averill.

Margaret first married first Thomas Stevens of Ipplepen, Co.Devonshire, England. Christopher Avery married 2nd Alice Berdon 26 Jul 1630 in Wolborough,Co.Devonshire,England.
Margery’s father was buried at Abbotskerswell on 24 Feb 1612/3, and an administration of his estate in 1613 at the Archdeaconry of Totnes appears in the index by Olive Moger, who abstracted probate records at the Consistory Court of Exeter prior to their destruction in World War II.
St Mary the Virgin Abbotskerswell started in the 10th century, major reconstruction 15th and 19th century where Margaret and her parents are buried and where she married.
His father's estate was inventoried 6 Aug 1613 at Newton Abbott, Devon. Christopher was from Torbrian in the Arch Deacon of Totnes.
Christopher Avery, along with his son James, migrated to Groton,CT about 1636. Christopher and James left Alice behind in England, never to return. Christopher Avery was fined many times for "living apart from his wife", which was an offense in Puritan New England.
Christopher was a weaver like his father. He was described as a Kersey weaver from Devon. (Kersey is a coarse lightweight woolen cloth usually ribbed with cotton warp.

Comments

First called Ensign 1662. Lieut New London Trainband May 1665. Trainbands were companies of militia in England or the Americas, Deputy, Judge New Londontown in 1663 He was a captain in the colonial militia. In the Great Swamp Fight, a battle at Kingston, Rhode Island on Dec 19, 1675, Avery commanded a group of allied Pequot Indians. Avery served as a captain in command of forty Englishmen from Stonington, Lyme, and New London in 1676. He also served as captain of one of four companies which protected the frontier.
His second wife was Abigail (Ingraham) Chesebrough Holmes Avery, the widow of Samuel Chesebrough and of Joshua Holmes, married 4 Jul 1698. (Her marriage to James Avery was brief....she is buried under the name of Abigail Holmes.)
Joanna was most probably the Johanna Greenslade baptized at St. Sidwell Parish, Exeter, Devonshire, England on Feb 4,1621/2, the daughter of and Johan Baker Greenslade, though this is not conclusive. Her parents are not found in New England records, even though she married James Avery in Massachusetts.
He was Deputy to the General Court 12 times from 1656 to 1680. He also served for 20 years as a town selectman.
About 1656, he built the "Hive of the Averys" at the head of Poquonnock Plain, in the present town of Groton about a mile and a half from the river Thames.
The bronze bust, representing Captain James Avery as a typical Puritan, magistrate and Indian fighter was designed by the noted sculptor, Bela Lyon Pratt,

Comments

It is assumed their father was David Badcock as there were few in MA during this period. He was first seen in Dorchester, MA Colony in the 1640 Church rolls. And that area of MA is where all the 3 siblings were found.
George Badcock and Henry Leland's wills establishes the 3 are siblings.

Barrett Family Tree

Barrett Name Meaning: It May be from a medieval personal name, but if so the form is unclear. Alternatively, it May be a nickname for a quarrelsome or deceitful person, from Middle English bar(r)et(t)e, bar(r)at ‘trouble’, ‘strife’, ‘deception’, ‘cheating’ (Old French barat ‘commerce’, ‘dealings’, a derivative of barater ‘to haggle’). It is possible that the original sense of barat survived unrecorded into Middle English as a word for a market trader; the Italian cognate Baratta has this sense. It could also be a nickname or metonymic occupational name from Old French barette ‘cap’, ‘bonnet’.

10 Apr 1662 Thomas and his son Thomas bought a house and 52 acres in Chelmsford, MA and relocated.
The Barrett–Byam Homestead is a historic house, now headquarters of the Chelmsford Historical Society, located at 40 Byam Road, Chelmsford, MA. The original house dates to circa 1663, though much or all today's structure May date from the mid-18th century. The homestead was established in 1663 by Thomas Barrett, who bought a house and 52 acres (21 ha) of land from a James Parker. It was originally built as south-facing "saltbox" with a central chimney and fireplace in every room. The heating system appears to have been rebuilt circa 1800 with Rumford fireplaces in each room.

Brown Family Tree

Brown Name Meaning: English, Scottish, and Irish: generally a nickname referring to the color of the hair or complexion, Middle English br(o)un, from Old English brun or Old French brun. This word is occasionally found in Old English and Old Norse as a personal name or byname. Brun- was also a Germanic name-forming element. Some instances of Old English Brun as a personal name May therefore be short forms of compound names such as Brungar, Brunwine, etc. As a Scottish and Irish name, it sometimes represents a translation of Gaelic Donn. As an American family name, it has absorbed numerous surnames from other languages with the same meaning.

A Y-DNA test by a great-grandson of John Quincy Brown proves that we do descend from Thomas Brown b. ca 1628 in England and died 28 Aug 1693 in Lynn MA. One of Thomas' descendants is James Brown m. Abigail Utley. They had a son David Brown born in Stonington CT. But there were 2 David Browns with ties to Stonington. Although many details indicated our David Brown in our line was the correct son, the Y-dna proves the David Brown in this tree is the corect David.

Mary Newhall Brown emigrated as an infant with her parents and older siblings as Thomas was present for the land division at Lynn in 1638. Her birth record in England recently found
Daniel kept the family farm while his siblings move to Stonington
Thomas was a dishturner and was said to be of Grawton [Groton], Middlesex in Jun 1663, when he deeded land to William Longley of Lynn.
A Thomas Browne listed as soldier 1675 Lynn MA
He bought of William Longley his house lot (6 acres), bounded E. with lands of Richard Haven, W. with land of John Newhall, S. by Mill Street, and N. by the common.
The family purchased and received large tracts of land, most of which was located in the present town of North Stonington, bounded as follows: the western boundary was nearly all on Ossekonk Swamp, the northern bounds of which extended from the Ossekonk brook on the west of Shunnock River on the east, joining on the north the lands of the late Stephen Avery and lands of the Main family, to lands of the Randall family; easterly on the Randall land to the Richardson's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land and Miner territory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to the said Ossekonk Swamp.
The following is a copy of the orally declared last will and testament of Thomas Brown, senior, of Lynn, Mass.: His widow was appointed Administratrix of his estate Oct 9, 1693, The following was taken down in writing this day, being ye 7th of October, 1693: Memorandum - About two years since: though in ye last sickness of Thomas Brown, hereinafter named, he declared the following sentences as his last will and testament, who died about six weeks ago. Thomas Brown, of Lynn, Sen., being of proper memory and good understanding, declared what his last will and testament should be, in the presence of Jeremiah Shepard, John Newhall senior, and Mary Shepard. After some serious discourse with Mr. Shepard about his spiritual condition, he earnestly desired Mr. Shepard to be helpful to him in settling his temporal estate, and said he was very apprehensive of the decay of nature, be reason of many bodily informities that did weaken him, and therefore could not put long continuance in this world. So he thought it meet to take the present opportunity of expressing his mind concerning his last will and testament; and desired Mr. Shepard to draw it up that he might read it and subscribe to the same. And having committed his spirit to God, and his body to the dust, wishing a decent interment thereof, suitable to his rank and quality, he did thus, fearlessly, freely, and voluntarily and deliverately express himself: My will is, that after my honest debts and funeral charges are paid my home and homestead, with all my land in Lynn, as also my cattle and moveables, with doors, I give and bequeath to my son Ebenezer, who hath been very careful of me and my family, and whom I have betrusted with the management of my outward affairs, only my will is that my son Ebenezer provide for my wife, that she be comfortably maintained out of my estate. I give and bequeath to my wife all my moveables within doors, pewter, brass, bedding, &c., to be at her absolute disposal. I give to my eldest son Thomas, my long gun, which I value at forty shillings. I give to my son Joseph twenty shillings, having already bestowed some lands upon him. I give to my son John twenty shillings. I give to my son Daniel five pounds. I give to my daughter Norwood twenty shillings. My will is that my loving wife should be executrix, and my son Ebenezer executor. To this, my last will and testament, I constitue my brother John Newhall, and Robert Potter, senior, to be my overseers. Thomas Brown did thus express his mind, in reference to his last will and testament, in presence of us. JEREMIAH SHEPARD, MARY SHEPARD, JOHN NEWHALL, SEN. Before ye Honored Bartho Gedney, Esq., Oct 9th, 1693, Mr. Jeremiah Shepard and Mary his wife, and John Newhall, Sen., made oath that what is within as above contained in this paper was expressed by said Thomas Brown as his last will and testament; and that said John Newhall and Mary Shepard, add that he also gave to his son Eleazer five pounds. Sworn to ye day aforesaid. Attes: STEPHEN SEWALL, Register

3 of the siblings married Douglas signings.
There are 2 Abigail Utley born around the same time in CT. One was born in Windham CT. She married Amos Clark, raised a large family with him and died in Windham in 1811. This is not the the Abigail Utley who was born in Stonington and married James Brown in this tree. They moved to NY and there is no recorded death date for her. Find a Grave for Abigail Utley Clark stated incorrectly she was married first to James Brown and used the birth date incorrectly from Stonington with a death date in Windham. They were 2 different people. That error has now appeared in lots of ancestry.com trees.

For decades we have looked for the parents of James Harvey Brown Sr. But the period of time he lived only the Head of the Household was listed in the census - not wife or children. There were many Browns inn in the county who could be his father and no wills listing him as a child or land records indicating a relationship. The break through was a pension for a David Brown who severed in the Revolutionary War for 3 years. A copy of the family bible with the names and birth dates of his children listed James Harvey Brown with birth date that matched our James Harvey Brown's birth date on his grave. Once that was discovered I found lots of autosomal matches to James' siblings decendants was well as his Mother's siblings.
David's exact birth date is in one of the many pages in his pension application 18,642 for his Revolutionary Service. In his first deposition he just says age 55 but in a deposition on 20 Jun 1820 he states he is 61 eleven months and 18 days. It lists his children's ages and marriage date to Rachel and location etc. David joined the Continental Army at Pittstown in Albany CountyApr 1776. Commanded by Benjamin Hicks under Colonel Goose Van Schaick for 10 months. In Feb 1777 he enlisted as a Sergeant under Capt Joseph McCraken under Colonel Goose Van Schaick until 2 Apr 1779. He then hired John Armstrong to complete his 3 year term. David served in the same general units as his brother Jonathan Brown who joined 2 months before him. The both list being in the Battle of Monmouth.
There is another David Brown in b ca 1757 unknown location and parent. He m. Lydia Miner in Stonington 8 Jun 1786. He d. 23 Seo 1854 in Stonington and serves in the Revolutionary War in CT pension 10,453. A Sons of the Revolution application has merged the 2 David Browns and led to many inaccurate trees. The other David had a slightly different birth date based on his gravestone where as the David Brown as my tree has it has exactly the same birth date as the birth record in Stonington. But more importantly a y-dna test by a male couisin who decents from John Quincy Brown proves this Brown line decends from Thomas Brown b. 1628
Description of the command of Col Goose Van Schaick in Wikipedia under which David Brown served from Apr 1776 to Apr 1779. "On Mar 8, 1776 he was made colonel of the 1st New York Regiment. On Jul 6, 1777, he was wounded at the Siege of Fort Ticonderoga. He served under Gen. William Alexander at the Battle of Monmouth. He is most famous for hisApr 1779 expedition against the Onondaga Indians, starting from Fort Stanwix. His force of 558 troops attacked and burned their principal settlement together with provisions and stores, killed their cattle, and took 32 prisoners without a loss of a single man. Because the most militant warriors had already left, the villagers were mostly neutrals. The Onondagas accused the soldiers of raping and killing the women. On May 10, 1779, an act of the Continental Congress: "Resolved, that the thanks of Congress be presented to Colonel Van Schaick and the officers and soldiers under his command, for their activity and good conduct in the late expedition against the Onondagas". At the time, the expedition was considered to be more effectual than the soon-following Sullivan Expedition."
Rachel lived in Lordstown Trumbull County, Ohio 4 Feb 1846. I have been unable to verify her death date or locate where she is buried.

Diana Brown 🧬 b. 18 May 1820 Royalton, Niagara Co, NY d. 22 Mar 1882 Flushing Cem MI * m. pre 20 Dec 1838 Joseph Lorenzo Richardson b. 15 May 1814 NY d. 30 Nov 1896 Joliet Will Co. IL. He apparently joined the civil war and afterwards deserted his family and m. 11 Jun 1867 Sarah Elizabeth Fitts. Unless there was a divorce then Joseph was a bigamist. Her death registration says she is a widow.
- Elias Richardson b. 5 Jun 1838 d. 6 Jan 1854 Flushing Cem MI
- Abigail Diana Richardson b. 11 Mar 1840 NY d. 19 Feb 1912 Flushing Cem MI * Both Abigail and William have 2 marriages. Records for both Henry and Mary A indicate they were born before the marriage of Abigail and William so either they started a relationship prior to marriage or blended their families. Henry is listed as a step-son in one census and that should apply to the Head of Household which is William which should men Henry is a son of James Hempsted. Yet Henry lists William and Abigail as his parents in marriage and death records. In the 1900 census Abigail lists her having had 3 children one of who is living.
  - m. 1 Jan 1863 Flint MI James Hempsted b. 1843 I thought it was odd that both Abigail and Prudence married a James Hempsted the same age but Prudence's husband was in the civil war at the time Abigail married a James Hempsted. They May have been unrelated or cousins etc. Lack of census records make it hard to figure out.

James Harvey's birth date is given as 1795. But I do not believe the gravestone still exists and either there could have been a transcription error he his wife had the wrong age. I have DNA matches to several of his siblings as well as his Mother's family. Also the pension application gives the children's names and birth dates. His is the only one with a middle name.

WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH, was the first white man who settled Stonington, Connecticut. His dwelling house stood on the west side of Wequetequock Cove, near the head of the tidewater. William Chesebrough, Thomas Stanton, George Denison, Walter Palmer, and Thomas Minor were founders of Stonington.
He was a gunsmith until he came to Stonington in 1649, when he became a farmer, living on the large grants of land given him by the town of Pequot (now New London).
He came to this Canada West with the John Winthrop Company in 1630 and first settled in Boston, Massachusetts and became a member of the first church. In May 1631, he was admitted a freeman of the Massachusetts Colony.
In 1634, he was elected constable of Boston. He later moved to Braintree, and in 1640 he was elected deputy to the Massachusetts General Court. Soon after, he moved to Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony where he took an active and prominent part in organizing the town of Rehoboth.

Winthrop Fleet

The General Court of that colony later ordered him to be arrested for an affray with an Indian, which led him to look further for a new permanent home. John Winthrop, Jr. urged Chesebrough to settle in his new settlement at Pequot, but he decided against it and and finally chose to settle at the head of Wequetequock Cove in the Pawcatuck area instead. It was another friend, Roger Williams, who encouraged and assisted him in moving to Pawcatuck during the summer of 1649 when he moved his family into their new house in Wequetequock, including his wife and four sons, Samuel, Nathaniel, John and Elisha.
Mr. Chesebrough, traded with the Indians and with people of Long Island, which was prohibited by the General Assembly of Connecticut. In January, 1652, the town of Pequot gave him a large tract of land, which was afterwards liberally enlarged until it embraced between two and three thousand acres. Mr. Chesebrough succeeded in drawing around him a number of "acceptable persons" and the settlement of the town was begun. In 1654, however, the planters wanted to separate from Pequot for religious and civil purposes. This measure was resisted by the planters at Pequot. In the meantime, Massachusetts laid claim to the settlement, and the dispute went up to the court of the Commissioners of the United Colonies. In 1658 the court awarded all the territory east of Mystic River to the Massachusetts Colony, under the name of Southertown, until 1662, when it was included in the new charter, and again became a part of the colony of Connecticut. In 1665, the name Southertown was changed to Mystic. In 1666, it was again changed to Stonington.
Mr. Chesebrough held numerous positions of trust not only in the Massachusetts Colony, in the town of Rehoboth, in Plymouth Colony as well. He was elected to several positions between 1653 and 1656.
He held the office of Townsman (Selectman) until Southertown was annexed to Connecticut, and was the first man elected deputy after the reunion. He succeeded in restoring amicable relations with the Court which had been seriously disturbed by the jurisdictional controversy. After his return, he was elected first selectman of the town, and re-elected every year up to the time of his death, on Jun 9, 1667.

William Chesebrough, Thomas Stanton, George Denison, Walter Palmer, and Thomas Minor were founders of Stonington.
He married Bridget in Roxbury Mar 1640 and she died 1643. He went back to England and married Ann Borodell daughter of John Borodell and Alice Freeman around 1645. When he went back to England he served as a soldier and was in the battle of York and Marston Moor. He was taken prisoner for a year. He escaped and returned with his second wife.
On Dec 19, 1675, in the great swamp fight, of King Phillip's war, Capt. George, was captain along with Capt. John Mason, Jr., of the New London County forces, under Maj. Robert Treat,. In 1676 George was in command of forces, raised by him as Provo- Marshal. They pursued the remaining Narragansett and Wampanaug Indians, and defeated them and capturing the Indian Chief Canonchet, who was taken to Stonington where he refused to make peace with the English, and was shot. He assisted as magistrate to enable the Pequot chiefs designated by the English to control the remnants of the Pequots. He was assistant and deputy from Stonington to the General Court for fifteen sessions.
In 1652, the Town of New London granted Capt. George Denison 200 acres of land in the Pequot-se-pos valley at Mystic. He built his house there May 3, 1663, Here George and Ann stayed until their deaths. 1899 this house was still standing and was known as the Oliver Denison house, it was located a few feet west of the of home of Reuben Ford.

Alice is also famous because many of her descends through her 3 daughters that came with her to America include Edgar Rice Burroughs, Katherine Hepburn, Julia Child, Nelson and David Rockefeller, Warren G.

Both Alice's ancestry and descendants are most heavily matrilineal which is unusual because women's maiden name is frequently unknown. It is unusual to have such a well documented female side.

John and Grace are buried in a private burial ground, the Frink/Williams Yard, Stonington. Their early hand-carved fieldstones remain. The Yard is located on Stony Brook road behind what is believed to be John and Grace Frink’s homestead on Taugwonk Road.
On Nov 14, 1666, John Frink was “received an inhabitant into the town” of Stonington, Connecticut along with Grace and their three daughters. 1668 Stonington census included John Frink.
He was the town’s first carpenter.
He served as a Sergeant in King Philip’s War. After the war, in 1696, the Colony of Connecticut awarded tracts of “the conquered land” specifically to the “English Volunteers” who had served in the war. John was No. 2 on the list of all applicants for this land, in what was to become known as the town of Voluntown, Connecticut. He received 200 acres l
A marker(right) celebrates the origin of the town and mentions John Frink and Thomas Leffingwell, two of the volunteers.
In 1670 John Frink represented the town of New London, Connecticut at the General Court. In the same year, in a Hartford, Connecticut court he was among persons nominated from Stonington to be “freemen.”

I have not found any evidence he is son of Zaccheus Goole. Others have researched the Zaccheus children's baptism records and Francis is not included.
Francis seems to have immigrated before his apparent marriage in America. The first documented appearance of Francis Go(u)ld in America found to date is in court at the 3 Seo 1639 session described as "A Quarter Court, held at Boston, the 3rd Day of the 7th Month, 1639" showing the Governor and others in attendance.
Francis "Goole" appears in Plymouth court records multiple times in 1644 and 1645 On 24 Nov 1644 (page 78) he is sued by William Hanbury, who rented ("farmed out") his house, land & livestock to Francis. Francis, instead of growing & gathering crops, apparently tried to sell the livestock and other items and was considered "unlikely to pay the rent". The parties agreed that Francis would leave the property and give everything back to Hanbury although no monetary fine or compensation was discussed. On page 79 of the same source, at the court of 7 Jan 1644/45, we find Francis lodging a complaint of trespass against John Shaw(e) Jr; Shaw was forced to pay a fine to Francis. And finally on 4 Jun 1645 (page 87) we see Francis as a "planter of Duxbury" fined and especially tasked with good behavior towards our sovereign lord the king and all his leige people to appear again at the next general court and abide the further order of the court and to not depart the same without lycence. Why he was fined is not stated.
By 1649 Gould had moved to Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, where he was living with his wife, Rose. The first six children of Francis and Rose Gould were born in Braintree and they continued to reside there until late in 1659 or early in 1660, when they moved to what was then the frontier at Chelmsford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, It was at Chelmsford that Francis and Rose made their home for the rest of their lives. Francis built the Rose house, presumably named for his wife.

He held the manor of Hodyford and was assessed as "Thomas Hatche the elder" in the Hundred of Street in the subsidy of 1524. The name of his wife is not found.* Thomas Hache was very probably a grandson of John at Hecche of Sellinge next Monks Horton who made his will Nov 15, 1464. He gave the residue of his goods to his wife Agnes and his son Thomas and named them executors. The woods upon his lands at Westwell and Charing were to be sold to pay his debts. His feoffees, William Knight, John Parys, William Smyth, John Webbe and William at Melle were to permit Agnes, his wife, to hold all his other lands and tenements until his son Thomas came of age of twenty-four years when he was to have one-third of the lands. His sons John and William were likewise each to have one-third when they reached that age, when the feoffees were to make over the lands to the three sons equally, they paying to Agnes their mother 20s. annually for life. If all the sons should die before reaching twenty-four, Agnes was to have the lands for life, and after her death they were to be sold and the money employed to provide a chantry priest to sing and pray in the church of Selling for two years, the residue to be expended in charity, for the souls of his father and mother and all the faithful departed. To each of the feoffees for their pains, 6s. 8d.f John at Hecche was undoubtedly descended from a family of Atte Hacches of the Hundred of Calehill, which contains the parishes of Westwell and Charing in which lived others of the name contemporaneously with John at Hecche of Selling.
The will of Thomas Hache the elder of Sellinge beside Horton Monkyn was made Dec 12, 1530, and proved Dec 31, 1534. He directs that he be buried in the churchyard of Sell- ynge. To every godchild 6d. To Thomas Hache, son of John and Elioner Hache, 40s., 20s. at the age of twenty-four and 20s. at the age of twenty-five to be paid by my son John. If the said Thomas die within age without heirs then it is to be paid to his sister Agnes, and if she die within age without heirs, rever- sion to my son John. To my son John, my best brass pot my daughters Agnes, Margarete, and Alice 6s. 8d. apiece. To my son William all debts he owes me and two silver spoons and to his daughter Agnes Hache 6s. 8d. To Agnes, daughter of John Hache the elder my son, now dead, 6s. 8d.

She entrusted her children Thomas and Agnes Hache to her father-in-law for ten years, and, in case of his death within that time, to William Hartt. After several small personal legacies the residue was to be di- vided between her son Thomas at the age of twenty-one and her daughter Agnes at eighteen. Executors: William Hartt, "my fadre Hacche."

In 1636 and 1637, Hutchinson was granted 100 acres in the heavily forested section, later called Salem Village and Danvers. The last 20 acres granted him were on condition that he "shall sett up plowing within 2 years." This became his homestead. He began accumulating a large property, buying Edmund Freeman's two hundred acres adjoining his, and then one hundred acres granted to John Thorndike. In 1648 Richard went south near Whipple Hill and bought the Elias Sileman another adjoining farm of 150 acres, where he cleared meadows on which the church meeting house was later built- now the center of the town of Danvers. In 1649, with his son-in-law Nathaniel Putnam, he bought an additional 150 acres from William Haynes. And finally in 1662, in partnership with John Putnam, John Hathorn and Daniel Ray, from Major Hathorn and Capt. Richard Davenport were bought two farms of about 280 each, making him one of the largest land owners.
Richard was admitted to the Salem church in 1647, but held no public offices. His court appearances were for minor issues as both plaintiff and defendant, but in 1660 as a witness he gave his age as about fifty eight years.
Richard died probably shortly before 26 Seo 1682 in Salem Village. Richard Hutchinson of Salem made his will on 19 Jan 1679 which was proved on 28 Seo (first witness testified) and 28 Nov 1682 (second witness). He stated that his wife (3rd wife) was to remain at his son Joseph's house with comfortable sustenance supplied and an allowance of 10 shillings yearly. If she chose to live elsewhere, she was to have the estate which she brought with her. He named his daughter Abigail and son-in-law Anthony Ashby; granddaughters Bethia Hutchinson and Sarah Hadlock; his servant Black Peter, who was to receive 5 acres of land; sons-in-law Nathaniel Putnam, Thomas Hale, James Hadlock; daughter Hannah and her husband Daniel Bordman; son and sole executor Joseph Hutchinson. Joseph declined the executorship and the widow Sarah and Nathaniel Putnam were appointed administrators. The inventory of his estate was presented 28 Nov 1682 by Sarah Huchenson and Nathaniell Putnam as administrators which totaled £94 after debts were paid.
1636 Alice was a memeber of the 1st Church of Danvers and Richard joined 1647
The Salem Village map on the right is from 1692 4 years after Richard died. But it shows some of his children and grandchildren who inherited land from him.

Town records state that Henry was buried 100 rods SE of his dwelling, which was the location of the only burial ground at the time in town.
There is an Egyptian Revival obelisk erect in 1847 for Henry . It is located on the east side of the Unitarian Church on Washington Street. The inscription reads " Henry Lealand, The Puritan, Emigrated from the W. of England in the time of the Commonwealth, settled in Sherborn in 1660. Erected by his grateful descendants. Aug 18, 1847. His piety still remembered is ample testimony to the worth of his character.".
He immigrated to America 1652. He occupied land in South Sherborn which was then called Boggestow. Henry Leland married Martha Badcock and built a dwelling to the northeast of the present Leland House at 118 Mill St. His 500 acre estate was distributed among his three sons - as specified in his will of 1680. Over time Leland's have figured prominently in town and state military, political, commercial and social history. Seventeen Leland's fought in the Revolution and three participated in the Civil War. Leland's have served as Selectmen and Representatives to the General Court. For many years Leland's operated a grist mill and later a saw mill on the Mill Pond of Brown Meadow Brook. In 1850 Henry Leland's 9,624 descendants referred to him as "our common ancestor". At the time of the Leland Monuments dedication, almost half of the town could claim relationship with Henry. It is interesting to note that one of Henry's descendants became a First Lady of The U.S. The daughter of Thankful Leland, Abigail Powers married Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the U.S

Comments

William Chesebrough, Thomas Stanton, George Denison, Walter Palmer, and Thomas Minor were founders of Stonington.
Miner was born in Chew Magna, in Somerset, England. Thomas was admitted to the church in Charlestown as a founding member in Nov 1632, and there is no record of him in America earlier. He relocated to Hingham, MA in 1636, where his son Clement was baptized in Mar 1637/38. Thomas is listed as a Founder of New London, CT in 1645 and also of Stonington in 1652.

Grace Palmer Minor

First settler of New London 1645. Second householder in Stonington Oct 1652. Miner and his son Ephraim helped found the Road Church. In about 1653, Miner bought land west of Stonington, across Quiambaug Cove near present-day Mystic, and built a house for his family. Around this time he began one of the few diaries to survive 17th-century New England. It covers the years 1653 to 1684 and was published in book form in 1899. It is available online and from some sources downloadable as a pdf file.
Miner was active in public affairs in both New London and Stonington. He was appointed chief military officer of the Mystic Train band in Jul 1665. During King Philip's war he served as a Lieut. He was referred to by that title in Feb and Apr 1676. In Aug 1676 he was called Captain, but is usually mentioned in later years as Lieutenant. He is listed as one of four on the Stonington Founders' Monument. A memorial stone was placed in Elm Grove.
Grace "became a member of the First church of Charleston, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, 1 Jun 1632, at the same time her father and step-mother united with it.[

Comments

Sgt. Nichols came to the colonies in 1635/6 and was one of the first settlers of Stratford, Connecticut. The first mention of anyone from Stratford was a Connecticut General Court order to assigne Sergeant Nicholls for the present to train the men and exercise them in military discipline. He was probably a widower when he came to America with his three sons and a daughter. Sgt. Nichols also owned land in Southold, Long Island, New York, where he married in 1645 Anne Wines, daughter of Deacon Barnabas Wines. Francis Nichols personal property inventory was recorded in Stratford in 1655.
In 2000, Neil Thompson reveals the true pedigree of Francis of Stratford in "The English Origin of Sergeant Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut." [TAG 75:267] used as sourcing here and disproves earlier theories that his father was Francis.
Spring of 1639, he and sixteen other families settled on 76,000 acres of land at Cupheag which would be named Stratford in Apr 1643.
In Oct 1639 the Connecticut General Court placed him in charge of military affairs. He was a Sergeant of the Stratford Trainband.

OnApr 5, 1629, Palmer sailed on the Four Sisters from Gravesend, England to Salem, Massachusetts, arriving that June.
The next year, he was indicted on manslaughter charges for allegedly beating a man to death, but was acquitted in Nov 1630. His close friend William Chesebrough stood as a witness. Serving jurors/peers: William Rocknell, William Balsten, William Phelps, John Page, William Gallant, John, Balshe, John Hoskins & Lawrence Leach in the trial. Palmer and Chesebrough took the Oath of a Freeman on May 18, 1631. 1635, he was elected a selectman of Charlestown and the next year became constable.
On Aug 24, 1643, Palmer and Chesebrough left Charlestown and started a new settlement called Seacuncke (later renamed Rehoboth). Palmer was among the first selectmen. When the settlement assigned itself to Plymouth Colony, the deputy elected to represent Rehoboth at the Plymouth court refused to serve because he preferred attachment to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Palmer was then appointed in his place.
Palmer and Chesebrough were also dissatisfied with the Plymouth alignment and, sometime prior to 1653, John Winthrop, Jr. persuaded Chesebrough to relocate to southern Connecticut. Chesebrough obtained a 2,300-acre land grant from the settlement in New London, Connecticut; Palmer and his son-in-law. Thomas Miner followed him and purchased land on the east bank of Wequetequock Cove, across from Chesebrough. In Aug 1652, Miner built his father-in-law and himself a house on their land; the next year, both their families joined them, and other settlers soon followed. The group struggled for years for self-rule. During that time, Palmer served as constable and again as a selectman. It took until 1661 to build a church meetinghouse due to resistance from the General Court of Connecticut, which preferred that the colonists travel across the river to New London. Palmer died two months after the meetinghouse was first used.
He was a vigorous giant, 6 feet 5 inches tall. Walter was a Farmer and Dairyman.

John was a blacksmith and as such was sought after to settle in several towns, but decided on New London where he went in 1652.
He later became a ship captain "journeying to Europe and outsailing pirates."Coit & Mould, in 1678 built for him a vessel of one hundred tons, which bore the family name of " John and Hester," in which he and his sons made several voyages. Coit & Mould were the largest ship builder in New London and the John and Hester the largest ship they had built at that point in time. It cost 450 pounds.

Comments

Various errors appear in published works regarding Amos.
On Jul 22, 1639 Amos, a merchant tailor, was residing at Boston when he witnessed the deed, along with Stephen Winthrop and Thomas Lechford (latter who wrote the document), between Thomas Purchase and Gov. John Winthrop of the Mass. Bay Company. His property was on N side Summer St, Tremont N corner of Winter St., Washington St corner Spring Lane, Milk St, and Walter St.
By 1673 he resides in Stonington CT
He was closely connected with the Winthrop family for many years, acting under a power of attorney for Stephen while the latter was in England, being associated with Dean as one of the proprietors of Groton, and looking after many business matters for Mrs. Downing. He was the agent for Governor John Winthrop, the younger, and with him gave credit to Samuel Winthrop, of St. Christophers, in the West Indies. He also acted for Capt. Wait Winthrop as umpire in a mill dispute. In addition to carrying on the business of merchant tailor, he soon became a general trader throughout the colonies, and with his own vessels, to the West Indies. He acquired large tracts of land, probably as many as five thousand acres, at Stonington, New London, and in the Narragansett Canada West. During the early history of Massachusetts there were no practicing lawyers and a number of business men acted as attorneys. It is stated that Amos Richardson was one of the three most active attorneys in the law courts during the life of the Massachusetts colony. The family name of Mary, wife of Amos Richardson, is unknown; he did not, however, have a second wife, as stated in the "Richardson Memorial.: It is probable that they were married in 1642, the year that he purchased his house and garden. Amos Richardson probably moved to Stonington, Conn., about 1663, but also retained a residence in Boston for a number of years. His name appears in the list of inhabitants of Narragansett in July, 1663, and of Wickford in May, 1668; but while he had landed interests there it is evident that he never had an actual residence in Rhode Island. The Diary of Thomas Minor notes, under Jun 19, 1661, that Mr. Richardson's house was raised and on Jun 22, 1663, that his son was to finish it that day. Amos Richardson was one of the most active members of the so-called Atherton Company later called the Narragansett Company, and he must have taken a leading part in the organization of it. Amos Richardson was not a member of the church, either in Boston or Stonington, and that is probably the reason for his not being made a freeman until May, 1665. His wife united with the First Church in Boston, Dec 26, 1647, when her second child, John, was 28 days of age. The celebrated John Cotton was the minister at this time, and all of her children were baptized by him, in her right. At Stonington she was an original member of the church and attended the first communion service Seo 10, 1674. Amos Richardson died Aug 5, 1683, at his residence, "Quiambog Farm," Stonington. Thomas Minor notes in his Diary: "Mr. Richardson sent for me Sabath day the fifth about one a clock in that Mr. Richardson departed this life." Also on the 17th following: "mistris Richardson made her will." His wife was appointed by his will as sole executrix, but she died early in the following month, and their sons, Stephen and Samuel, were appointed executors. Both wills were probated by the General Count in 1683. Ancestry.com: History of New London - Amos Richardson, of Stonington, died Aug 5th, 1683 Mary, his relict, survived him but a few weeks. John, the oldest son of Mr. Richardson, was minister of the church in Newbury, Mass., where he was settled in 1674. He had two other sons, Stephen and Samuel, and a daughter, Prudence, who married, first, Mar 15th, 1682/3, John Hallam; second, Mar 17, 1702/3, Elnathan Miner. A lingering lawsuit was sustained by Mr. Richardson for several years against the town of New London to obtain possession of a house lot, formerly granted hi, which, comprising the greater portion of the Parade, (State St.,) had been assumed by the town for a highway and public square. Mr. John Plumbe was Richardson's attorney. It was at last decided that Richardson should be indemnified for his lot, out of the nearest unoccupied land that the town owned. In execution of this judgment the Marshall look four pieces; one piece of ninety-six rods, being a part of the original lot and on the north side of it, the same on which the first Episcopal church was afterward erected; a lot at the corner of Main and State Streets, west side, which had hitherto been left common and unenclosed; ten rods on Mill Cove, and one hundred rods on the Beach. "These two last pieces (says the marshal's return) were prized according to law, on the Cove, one rod for two, and on the Beach, two rods for one; the four pieces containing 285 rods were delivered to Mr. Amos Richardson and accepted in full satisfaction; Feb 13, 1681."

They were residents of Concord by 1671.
During the armed conflict King Philip's War 1675-1678 Robert signed up 24 Jul 1676 and served under Capt. John Cutler at Hassanamesit, now Grafton, Massachusetts.
Some time in the 1680s the family settled at Groton, Massachusetts, where, in 1686, Robert Robbins and Peleg Lawrence bought land from the Nashobah Indians.
On 17 Mar 1692, Robert "Robin" and his family were listed in John Davis' garrison in the southeastern part of the town.
At a Groton town meeting on 8 Jun 1702, it was voted to give three acres of meadow and ten of upland to “robart robins Sener” if he would give his Indian land 'titels' to the town.
In 1711, Concord, Chelmsford, Lancaster, and Stow petitioned the General Court for parts of the Nashobah lands, some of which later became part of Littleton.

Transcript of Murder Trial for Murder of Betsy Van Amburgh

First Constitution of independant countey Vermont 1777

1772 Rupert Bennington VT, 1778 Bakersfield Franklin County VT , 1777 Bennington VT , 1790, 1800 Resided Bennington VT, 1787 Oath of Allegiance
Vermont Index card indicates he was a separatist, bought 100 A, politically said put 1777, emigrated from Norwich CT (Suffield CT). Says pro-Vermonter.
Vermont Independence. The colonists complained that the government in England made decisions without asking them. The Vermont settlers felt the same way about New York’s government. New York was making decisions without asking the settlers. The colonies wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776. A year later, Vermont declared its independence from New York! On Jul 8, 1777, a group of delegates met in Windsor to sign the Constitution of Vermont. The Constitution said that Vermont was an independent state. Vermont was not part of New York or part of New Hampshire. Gaius Smith was the Rupert town representative representative along with Moses Robinson and signed the Constitution. After the Revolutionary War Vermont jointed the US as the 14th state.
Gaius was the attending physician for an injuries child who died. He was the first to testify in the trial for her murder. The trial resulted in a long and colorful series of court proceedings. "The Trial of Stephen Arnold, for the Murder of Betsy Van Amburgh, a Child Six Years of Age "
Practiced Medicine in Bennington, VT from 1772 until 1804. He lived 1/2 mile east of Dr Parsons (his residence became Wm Weeks place) in a house refereed to as the Young house in the History of Vermont Gazeteer.1867.
Tombstone at Robinson's Corners Cemetery reads: "In memory of Keziah, consort of Doctor Gaius Smith who departed this life Mar 13, 1812 in the 70th year of her age. A pattern she through every scene of life A pious Christian and a faithful wife A neighbor kind, a sweet and plesant [sic] friend Twas thus she lived and peaceful was her end."
"In memory of Doctor Gaius Smith who departed this life Seo 26 1819 in the 75th year of his age. Friends nor physician could save This mortal body from the grave, Nor can the grave confine it here When Christ doth call it to appear."

The Vermont Historical Gazeteer "Dr. Gaius Smith is believed to have settled here during the Revolution. He resided half a milo east of Dr. Parsons, at what has since been known as tho Young place. He was for many years in extensive practice, and removed to Burlington, N. Y., in 1804.

Gauis Smith's potentail ancesters based on DNA

There is no proof of Gaius' parents. Since y-dna can not be used as Gaius left no direct male descendants who had sons of their own, the best clues we have are autosomal DNA connections as well as the movements of various Smiths to VT.

A birth date attributed to him seems to try and connect him to a birth in MA of around that time but it does not sync with his gravestone. He likely was born in Suffield CT according to card created for early Vermont residents documenting their histories but that May have been based on another Gaius perhaps a nephew or cousin. But the other Smiths that resided on Rupert VT did come from Suffield. I am listing the Smith family that lived in Suffield at that time. Some are connected to Rupert VT where Gaius lived. Some I have autosomal DNA connections. Hopefully it will become clearer what Gaius's pedigree is. It is likely Samuel Smith m. Mary Ensign are his great grandparent. His grandparents are likely Ebenezer Smith m. Sarah Huxley or Ichabot Smith m. Mary Huxley (2 brothers who married 2 sisters). As for his actual parents the most likely is Nathaniel m Mary Denison.

Thomas, Cambridge MA; freeman, May 14, 1634; removed in 1637 to Hartford, CT, where he was one of the original proprietors; his home lot in 1639 was on the east side of Main Street, near what is now the junction of Main and Windsor Streets; he served in the Pequot War; chimney-viewer, 1650; constable, north side, 1658; surveyor of highways, 1672; he was sergeant of the trainband in 1650, and received in 1671 a grant for 60 acres, "for his good service in the Canada West".
Sgt. Thomas first settled at Cambridge, Mass. where in 1633 he received a grant of a homelot, was made a freeman of the Mass. Bay May 14, 1634 (implying he had joined the Cambridge church), and received an additional grant of land at Cambridge in 1635. He removed to Hartford, Conn. by 1639 where he was a member of the Hartford First Church and his name is on the Hartford Founders Monument. In 1639 his homelot was on the east side of what was later Main St. near the junction of Windsor Street. According to the 1640 replicated map of Hartford, his lot adjoined the south side of his older brother William's lot. He served in the 1637 Pequot Indian War and in 1650 was elected Sergeant of Hartford's train(ing) band. In 1671 he received a grant of 60 acres "for his good service in the Canada West." His will dated Sept. 9, 1686 at Hartford was proved Oct. 26, 1687.
At Sgt. Thomas Spencer's death, the only cemetery within the then limits of Hartford was the one adjoining the Hartford 1st Church, now known as Hartford's Ancient Cemetery, where he was undoubtedly interred. The Hale Connecticut Cemetery Database inappropriately infers that Sgt. Thomas was interred at Suffield, Conn. due to a lack of genealogical understanding by the person who in the 1930s inventoried the cenotaph monument of the Suffield descendants of Corp. Thomas,2 Spencer Jr. (Sgt. Thomas,1). At the time of Sgt. Thomas Spencer's death at Hartford, Suffield was barely a settled town of Mass., and did not secede from Mass. and become part of Conn. until 1749.
On an unknown date after Nov. 2, 1634, Thomas m. 1) Ann Derifield (q.v. Doryfall, etc.), sister of Barnabas Derifield of Braintree, Mass. She, "aged 24 yeeres," departed in lateApr 1634 aboard the Elizabeth of Ipswich (Mr. William Edwards, Master) and was admitted to the Boston Church Nov. 2, 1634 as "Ann Derifall, our brother Wm. Coddington's maid servant." Assuming Ann was obligated to serve Coddington for a minimum of three years and could not marry while in his service, she and Thomas Spencer likely m. not earlier than late 1637, which is complemented by the earliest likely date of birth of her first child, son Obadiah in circa 1638. They had the following three known children. Based on the recorded age at death of Samuel, the birth order of Thomas' children by Ann is different than normally written:

James left England with his wife, Sarah and perhaps his oldest child for America between 1632 and 1634. He was made a freeman on 4 Mar 1634/5 in Newtown (Cambridge) in the Mass. Bay Colony.
He May have been associated with Rev. Thomas Hooker's company since the family soon removed to Hartford and his name is on the Founder's Monument.

Thomas Huxley of New Haven, 1660, was a servant of John Wakeman. He was called servant in the will of Wakeman in which he bequeathed his gun to Thomas Huxley, providing Thomas "carried himself honestly and faithfully". Mr. Wakeman's
will was probated in Hartford, Sept 14, 1661. We have every reason to believe that he accompanied his master to Hartford and that he was given the gun.
Thomas Huxley, while seemingly of lowly origin, did nothing to tarnish the name. Rather, he added to it as he advanced steadily in the communities in which he lived. In May 1667, Thomas married Sarah, oldest daughter of Sergt. Thomas Spencer
of Hartford.
He became the owner of several pieces of land in Hartford, he sold most of this land and removed to a new settlement, Suffield. Here in 1678 he was granted 60 acres of land on High Street facing the Green. He was voted a freeman in 1681, as a
"householder and a member of ye church." Mar 6, 1683 Thomas was elected to the office od Selectman, the highest local office of a settlement. In 1681 he was chosen "a keeper of Public House of Entertainment."

Dorthy m. 2nd John Russel. John & Dorothy Russell removed from Wethersfield, CT. to Hadley, Conn
A description of Henry Smith by his son, Samuel, in a letter to Samuel's son, Ichobod: "....He was five foot ten inches tall and spare of build, tho not leane. He was active as the R'd Skin Men & sinewy. His delighte was in sportes of strengthe, & withe his owne hands he did help to rear bothe our house and the firste meeting house in Wethersfield wherein he preacht yeares to fewe. He was well Featured & Fresh favored with faire Skin & longcurling hair (as near all of us had) with a merrie eye & swete smiling Mouthe, tho he coulde frowne sternlie eno' when need was...I remembered ye sweetnesse & ye Charity of my firste Farther."
A Henry Smith married a "Miss" Cornish about 1610 in Norwich, Norfolk, England, but it is not clear if this is the same Henry Smith. Some sources say he married Dorothy Cotton in 1619. Could this have been the same person? The name "Cotton" was used to name children for several generations down
He studied at Kings College in Cambridge, England in 1619-1620, and was ordained by the Bishop of Peterborough on 8 Jun 1623.
Henry came with his wife, four children, four men servants, and four maid servants on a ship with John Driver, master, sailing from Weymouth, England in 1636, perhaps to escape Laudian persecution. They settled first in Watertown, Mass., and in Mar of 1636, Rev. Smith and six other men were appointed commissioners, giving them full power by the Massachusetts legislature to govern Connecticut for one year. On Dec 5, 1637, Henry and his wife were admitted to communion at the Watertown Church.
In 1637/8, the family removed to Wethersfield, Conn. and Rev. Henry was the first ordained minister there. His homelot consisted of five acres and was bounded by the Wethersfield Green and the burying ground. According to an article in the "Connecticut Nutmegger", there was great dissatisfaction with the leadership of Rev. Smith (the wealthy ruling elder of the church, Clement Chaplin, incited rebellion in the flock against Rev. Henry and the people brought grievances against him), and because of this, the Connecticut legislature asked that he "lay down his place, if it be done according to God". Rev. Henry refused to resign, and the court found that there was no basis to the complaints. As a result, Mr. Chaplin and others were fined for what they had done against Rev. Smith.
In 1637, Henry Smith from Wethersfield was one of 90 men who joined in the Pequot-Narrigansett War in Rhode Island.
The year after Henry's death (1649), widow Dorothy Smith married John Russell, father of Rev. John Russell who was sucessor of Rev. Henry Smith as minister of the Wethersfield Church.
According to his son, he died of the great fever just before the birth of his daughter, Elizabeth. Rev. Henry Smith's will was dated May 8, 1648, giving Dorothy full power to dispose of his estate. His will instructed that Samuel was to have his house lot which was intended for his eldest son, Peregrine, deceased. Henry left five acres each of meadow to sons, Samuel & Noah. The rest of the children were not named in the will but were to receive 20 pounds each, and the children of his two married daughters were given five pounds each. His estate was inventoried by James Boosey & Samuel Smith, and totaled a little more than 370 pounds.
