| 13501 | Usher at the presidial court of Angouleme (huissier audiencier au sie?ge pre?sidial d'Angoule?me). | Chambaud, Pierre (I735)
|
| 13502 | Usher of the Chamber, 1429-49. Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire, 1437-38, 1442-43, 1457-58. Knight of the shire for Berkshire 1439-40, 1445-47, 1449-51, 1453-54, and possibly 1455-56. Sheriff of Wiltshire 1440-43. Esquire of the Body 1441-60. Knight of the shire for Oxfordshire 1442. Keeper of the Great Wardrobe 1444-46. Treasurer of the Queen's Chamber. | Norreys, John (I19626)
|
| 13503 | Usher of the King of Scots. Sometime Earl of Athol, 1233-35. Styled Justiciar of Scotland at various points between 1243 and 1255. In 1251 he was suspected of seeking his wife's legitimization so that she could be heiress to the throne of Scotland. In 1253 he accompanied Henry III of England on his expedition to Guienne. In 1255 he was one of the guardians of Alexander III during the king's minority. In 1264, acting on the king's orders, he and the earls of Buchan attacked the western islands of Scotland, specifically to punish those who had urged King Haakon IV of Norway to invade Scotland. They killed some, expelled others, and returned with a great deal of plunder. | Durward, Alan (I19401)
|
| 13504 | Usher to Henry II. | de Cherlecote, Walter (I2941)
|
| 13505 | Van de Pas shows her as Eliani "di Arborea," daughter of Gonnario II, jure uxoris Judge of Arborea, and Eliana de Lacon-Zori, daughter and heir of Comita I, Judge of Arborea, but he notes that this identification is "not rock solid." This couple is already identifiably ancestral to TNH (and millions of other English and American descendants of Richard Fitz Alan and Alice of Saluzzo) through their son Constantine I. Arborea was one of the four giudicati, principalities held and ruled by judges, that formed on Sardinia as Byzantine power gradually withdrew from the island. These were effectively independent by the mid-11th century, although they fell into the hands of foreign dynasties over the next several generations. | Eliana (I9529)
|
| 13506 | Variants of his name include Cornelis Cornelissen and van de Bogart; also, possibly, Cornelis Vos and variants thereof; see further on in these notes. According to Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (citation details below), he arrived on the ship den Waterhondt, sailing from the Texel in June or July 1640, and worked as a farm laborer for six years beginning 4 Sep 1640. However, in 1959 John Albert Bogart (citation details below) pointed out the existence of a 1657 deed in which Cornelius, his brother Gysbert, and their cousin Tunis are referred to as having been "minor orphans" in 1656. If so, this would seem to obviate the idea that he arrived as early as 1640. Whenever he actually arrived, his parents in the Netherlands are clearly identified in the transaction quoted below: "On this day, the 3rd of September 1661, appeared before me, Dirck van Schelluyne, notary public, and before the hereinafter named witnesses: Gysbert Cornelisz Bogaert, of the first part and Cornelis Cornelisz Bogaert, his brother of the second part, Gysbert Bogaert dwelling in Katskil and Cornelis Bogaert in the aforesaid colony [of Renselaerswyck] in N: Netherland; acknowledging, said Gysbert Bogaert that he had sold, and he Cornelis Bogaert, that he had bought of him, a just child's portion, to wit, a one-fourth interest in a farm lying in the jurisdiction of Schoonderwoert in Holland, received by him by inheritance and descent on the death and demise of their father Cornelis Theunisz Bogaert and of their mother Beeltie Cornelisz at Schoonderwoert aforesaid […]" [Early Records of the City and Colony of Albany and Colony of Rensselaerswyck, Volume 3, trans. Jonathan Pearson, ed. A. J. F. Van Laer; Albany: University of the State of New York, 1918] "Schoonderwoert " is Schoonrewoerd, a village about 15 miles south of Utrecht, modern population about 1600. It is also worth noting that one of our Cornelius's sons, Hendrick, stated in his 1679 marriage banns that he had been born in Heykoop, a tiny village two miles west of Schoonrewoerd. Our Cornelius may have been the same person as Cornelis Vos, also Cornelis Cornelisz alias Vosje. A. J. F. van Laer, in the appendix to Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (citation details below), says that this is "probably" the case. From Minutes of the Court of Rensselaerswyck 1648-1652 ed. A. J. F. Van Laer (Albany: University of the State of New York, 1922): "January 29, 1649, Cornelis, called Vossgen, has taken the farm next to Rem Jansz, smith, to the north, on the same conditions as others, the lease whereof shall commence next Easter." If so, then his wife may have been the Dirckjen Pieterse who was the subject of these probate records from Early Records of the City and Colony of Albany and Colony of Rensselaerswyck, Volume 1, trans. Jonathan Pearson (Albany: J. Munsell, 1869): "Conditions; The guardians over the estate left by Dirckjen Pieterse, deceased, wife of Cornelis Vos; propose at once to sell, at public sale, some household stuff, whereof the payment shall be made in good strung merchantable seewant, and that in the time of 8 days, and conditioned that no one shall purchase by an offset of any debts, as the aforesaid household stuff by order of the honorable court is retired, and destined for the payment of the funeral expenses (dootschult). The auction fees become a charge on the buyer. Payment as aforesaid. Done on the 6th of February, A. D., 1665, in Albany." [p. 68] And, three pages later: "We, the undersigned, administrators and guardians of the estate of Dirkje Pieterse, deceased, late wife of Cornelis Vos, acknowledge that in respect to the goods sold of said Dirkje deceased, they are paid and satisfied by the vendue master, Johannes Provoost. Done on the 12|22 March, A. D. 1665, in Albany. Andryes De Vos. This is the mark + of Barent Pieterse [Coeymans]. with his own hand set." [p. 71] A footnote to the second record quoted above states that "Dirkje Pieterse Coeymans (?)" was "probably" sister of the abovementioned Barent Pietersie Coeymans, alias Molenaer (Miller), which if true would make her a daughter of Pieter Barendse Coeymans of Utrecht and later New Netherland. However, a further footnote asserts that two years later, in 1667, the Cornelius Vos who was the widower of Dirkje Pieterse had married again and "was then called the son-in-law of Andries de Vos." S. V. Talcott (citation details below) and others say that our Cornelius died in or near Albany in 1665, which calls into question whether our Cornelius was in fact the man who was Dirkje Pieterse's husband. | Bogaert, Cornelius Corneliszn (I31332)
|
| 13507 | Various visitation pedigrees, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and many other secondary sources notwithstanding, she was not Mary Troutbeck, daughter of Robert Troutbeck. That was disproved in the 1920s. | Coke, Mary (I27806)
|
| 13508 | Variously given as born in Dublin, Ireland or Ayreshire, Scotland. In the 1880 and 1900 censuses, he was said by his son Andrew to have been born in Ireland. | Patrick, James (I6084)
|
| 13509 | Variously reported as a daughter of William Freeman or of Josiah Card. | Jane (I7557)
|
| 13510 | Variously spelled Blurman, Boreman, Burnham, Bowman, Boreman, Bordman. His existence is noted by MacLean W. McLean, "Robert Harper of Sandwich, Mass., and his Son Stephen of Falmouth" [TAG 48:3], as the father of Thomas Bowerman who m. Mary Harper, dau. of Robert Harper and Deborah Perry. We tentatively think he's the same individual as the Barnstable "Thomas Boreman" listed in Anderson's The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to N.E. 1620-1633, p. 185. Anderson is preoccupied with trying to establish whether a Thomas Boreman of Plymouth and a Thomas Boreman of Sandwich and Yarmouth are the same individual or two separate people, but it seems clear that whatever the answer to that question, there was a Thomas Boreman of Barnstable who married Hannah Annable. Savage gives Thomas Boreman and Hannah Annabel as father of Thomas b. Sep 1648, and McLean's Thomas who m. Mary Harper is also given as having been b. Sep 1648. He predeceased his father-in-law, who was appointed administrator of his estate. | Bowerman, Thomas (I3657)
|
| 13511 | VCH Buckinghamshire (II, 365-72) calls him "Reginald or Roger de Croft". | de Craft, Roger (I10380)
|
| 13512 | VCH Lancashire (3:180 note 4) says she was "closely related to the Norrises of Speke, probably daughter of Sir Henry le Norreys, whose mother was a Cecily." | Cecily (I35830)
|
| 13513 | VCH Northumberland (volume 4, "Manor of Brixworth") calls him brother, rather than father, of the wife of John de Verdun. "Simon son of Simon, probably the son of the rebel, held 2½ fees in Brixworth. In 1253 he had a grant of a weekly market to be held at Brixworth on Tuesdays, and a yearly fair there from 4 to 6 June. He is described as lord of Brixworth in 1262–3, his wife's name being given as Maud de Ralee. Simon supported the barons in their struggle against the Crown, and was captured at the battle of Northampton, his manor being committed to Henry de Boruhull on 21 April 1264. He received a safe conduct to go to court in August, 1265, and was finally pardoned in 1267. In 1276 Simon son of Simon had view of frankpledge, free warren, free fishery, and other liberties in Brixworth." [VCH Northamptonshire, citation details below.] | Fitz Simon, Simon (I19722)
|
| 13514 | VCH Oxfordshire (VI: 21, 325) and VCH Buckinghamshire (IV: 114) make her the daughter of Reynold de Courtenay who d. 1194, but RA makes them siblings. | de Courtenay, Egeline (I4688)
|
| 13515 | VCH Oxfordshire, "Parishes: Pyrton", (citation details below) says this family "were related to the Marmions of Checkendon." | Harlyngrugge, William (I35313)
|
| 13516 | Venetian bailiff in Negroponte from 1256 to 1258, then the last podestà of Constantinople from 1259 to 1261. | Gradenigo, Marco (I25384)

|
| 13518 | Vernon DuBar states that she was born in January 1875. | Sorrels, Lydia M. (I31898)
|
| 13519 | Very likely a descendant of Robert de Ponte Cardonis who was the subtenant in Heanton Punchardon, West Haggington, and Blakewell in Devon at Domesday, but the intervening steps are unclear. | Punchardon, John (I20098)
|
| 13520 | Very likely a follower of the Rev. Thomas Hooker. First appears in 1639 as a proprietor and inhabitant of Hartford. His name is on the Founders Monument in downtown Hartford. Removed to Norwalk in late 1650. | Seymour, Richard (I19385)
|
| 13521 | Very unlikely to have been a daughter of Heribert I, Count of Vermandois, despite claims to that effect in Ancestral Roots and many other genealogical publications. See Stewart Baldwin's commentary at The Henry Project for details. | Beatrix Queen Consort of France (I5571)

| 13649 | Viscount of the Avranchin. Probably Scandinavian in origin. Shown in some sources (including CP) as a son of a "Thurstan le Goz", son of Ansfrid, a Dane. Another persistent genealogical tradition is the identification of his wife as "Emma de Conteville," an alleged daughter of the Conqueror's mother Herleve by her husband Herluin. His wife is in fact unknown. | le Goz, Richard (I6101)

| 13663 | Vivian's 1874 edition of the 1620 visitation of Cornwall (citation details below), in the Launce pedigree on page 124, calls the wife of John Launce simply "Mary Da. of Polewheele of Polewheele". The Launce pedigree on page 280 of Vivian's 1887 combined edition of the 1530, 1573, and 1620 visitations (citation details below) calls her "Mary, da. of John Polewheele of Polewheele." The Polwhele pedigree on page 376 of the same book gives "Mary" who "mar. John Launce" as a sister of John Polewhele of Polewhele who married Grace Lower, and a daughter of John Polewhele of Polewhele who married a daughter of John Tresawell. We think this is chronologically implausible, and that Mary Polewhele, wife of John Launce, is more likely to have been a daughter, not a sister, of John Polewhele who married Grace Lower. | Polewhele, Mary (I27968)

|
| 13685 | Walter Rye (citation details below) gives his birth year as "circa 1300", but this has to be wrong, as he was an infant only child on his father's death in 1321. The ODNB (citation details below) says 1320, with a question mark. The ODNB also notes that "[i]t is sometimes impossible to distinguish Sir Miles Stapleton of Bedale from his first cousin, Sir Miles Stapleton of Haddlesey (c.1318–1372)." From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: It was probably he who went overseas in the king's service in September 1342, and the family's historian suggests that he was at the siege of Tournai with his younger brother Brian Stapleton, and then in Brittany. A Miles Stapleton, probably of Bedale, was singled out by the chronicler Adam Murimuth as taking the honours on the first day of a three-day tournament at Windsor which in January 1344 saw the inauguration of the order of the knights of the Round Table. He was given letters of protection to go abroad with Sir John Darcy, the king's chamberlain, in 1345, which may suggest that he was educated in Darcy's household. He was certainly present at the siege of Calais in 1346, and given his later link with the Garter, he almost certainly fought at Crécy in 1346 too. Having become associated with the royal household at about this time, he took part in three further tournaments between October 1347 and January 1348, at Bury St Edmunds, Eltham, and Windsor. An account for the great wardrobe in 1348 describes him as a knight of the chamber, and he became a founder member of the Order of the Garter, sitting on the king's side in the ninth stall. In October 1351 Stapleton was sent abroad with William Latimer and then, for a while, the careers of both Miles Stapletons, of Bedale and of Haddlesey, sometimes coincided. In 1354 both witnessed an instrument requesting papal intervention in the Anglo-French war. Stapleton of Bedale was involved in Lancaster's march across Normandy in 1356, and in 1358 he was paid £50 for acting as a messenger to Philippe de Navarre. In 1359 he went abroad again on royal service. In June 1360 he was granted a life annuity of £100, in consideration of his 'laudable service in the king's deeds of war' (CPR, 1358–61, 429). This makes it likely that he is the Miles Stapleton who was one of the witnesses to the treaty of Brétigny in 1360. Abroad again in June 1361 and January 1362, on the latter occasion he made his brother Brian his attorney for two years. His destination in 1362 appears to have been the Baltic rather than France, since in January 1363 he was one of a group of leading English knights recorded as borrowing money from local merchants at Thorn on the Vistula. The money was to be repaid at Bruges. In March 1361 and August 1362 he served on commissions of peace with the earl of Suffolk. Miles Stapleton of Haddlesey was appointed to a commission of the peace headed by the earl of Lancaster in 1361. In January 1364 Miles Stapleton of Bedale took out letters of attorney for three more years, but died on 20 October 1364, probably from wounds or disease after the battle of Auray (29 September 1364). […] In May 1349 Stapleton was licensed to endow a chantry at North Morton, but following his second marriage his plans became more ambitious, and between 1355 and 1360 his chantry developed into a Trinitarian priory at Ingham, to which Ingham parish church was appropriated. Stapleton was buried in the church, and he and his descendants were commemorated there in a series of splendid brasses: Sir Miles and his second wife were shown holding hands, with the inscription 'Priez pour les almes monseur Miles de Stapleton et Dame Johanne sa femme fille de Monseur Oliver de Ingham fondeurs de cette maison qe dieu de lour almes eit pitee' ('Pray for the souls of Sir Miles Stapleton and Lady Joan his wife, daughter of Sir Oliver Ingham, founders of this house, that God may have pity on their souls'; Gough, 1/2,120). In 1799 the brasses were sold as 'old metal', but rubbings were taken of them before their destruction. | de Stapleton, Miles (I18835)

|
| 13690 | Warden of Gloucester; Captain of Berwick-upon-Tweed; Chief Justice of South Wales; Seneschal of Aquitaine. Present at the siege of Caerlaverock, July 1300. He was summoned to Parliament from 16 Aug 1308 to 15 May 1321 by writs directed Mauricio de Bekeleye. He joined Thomas, earl of Lancaster, in the rebellion against Edward II and the Despensers. He was given letters of safe-conduct which, he believed, would allow him to go to the king and confer with him; in fact, he was arrested and taken to Wallingford Castle, where after five years of imprisonment he died. | de Berkeley, Maurice (I16837)
|
| 13691 | Warden of the Forest of Braydon as of 1330. On 14 Dec 1330, Queen Philippa appointed him Warden of the Forests of Chippenham and Melksham. "Also in 1330, Gilbert de Berwick held the manor of East Winterslowe which involved the curious duty of drawing a pitcher of claret and presenting it to the king whenever he was staying at the palace of Clarendon, the lord of the manor being allowed to retain the pitcher and the beaker from which the king drank."

|
| 13694 | Was Adeline/Adelinde (wife of Roger de Beaumont who died 1094) a daughter of Oda, wife of Waleran? Peter Stewart's answer on 9 Dec 2016: This is not known as a certainty from direct evidence, but seems most likely. Oda had five children by the time her husband Waleran of Meulan tried to have their marriage annulled, and she had died by the time he occurs with a second wife in 1033. Adela (or Adelina) was evidently the eldest daughter of Waleran, as her son Robert (born ca 1046) inherited Meulan. She was described a sister of Hugo, Waleran's heir, who was named as his son in the 1033 charter before the second wife. As far as we know Waleran had only two sons by his second wife. | de Meulan, Adeline (I3231)

|
| 13698 | We find ourselves doubting that, as asserted on Find a Grave and elsewhere, this Reuben Dutton was a son of Amasa Dutton (1745-1831). William Howard Tucker's 1889 History of Hartford and John Wolf Jordan's 1915 Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania both assert that the Reuben Dutton born to Amasa and his wife Sarah died "early." The 1916 Encyclopedia of Massachusetts says that Amasa and Sarah's son Reuben was born in 1773, married a Clarissa Thomas, and died in Brookfield, Vermont in 1866. Donald Lines Jacobus's Families of Ancient New Haven volume III, p. 590, tells us that the birth of Amasa Dutton's son Reuben was recorded at Litchfield on 3 Feb 1771 and that he was baptised at the Congregational church in the town of Washington, Litchfield County, on 17 Mar 1771. It's worth noting that our Reuben Dutton's Find a Grave page interprets the hard-to-read tombstone inscription as saying he died 23 Jan 1814 "aged 43 years", which would yield a birth date of 1771. But the tombstone's death date looks a lot more like it says 1811, not 1814. We'll wait until we can get a better look at that stone. It's also worth noting that whether Reuben Dutton and Polly Farnsworth died in 1811 or 1814 -- both stones are equally hard to read -- they appear to have died on successive days, 23 and 24 January respectively. And it's also worth noting that FamilySearch's database of Vermont death records contains no record for any Reuben (or Ruben) Dutton or Polly Farnsworth, at all. | Dutton, Reuben (I14662)

| 13701 | We have omitted the Traffords shown as preceding this Richard in, for instance, the Dugdale visitation of 1664-65 (citation details below). As J. Horace Round pointed out in a series of exchanges with W.H.B. Bird in the first decade of the 20th century, while this family and its surname certainly go back to the 12th and 13th centuries, some of the earlier names and connections claimed in the standard family pedigrees are implausibly fanciful. | de Trafford, Richard (I5250)

|
| 13704 | We know his middle name from the 1860 census, where it is abbreviated "Jas." According to the 1910 census, his father was born in Denmark and his mother was born in France. The 1910 census also calls him proprietor of a "music ware store". From the evidence of the elegant cartoon sketch attached to this entry, he must have later become a clothing merchant. | Krag, Charles James (I12204)
|
| 13705 | We know of no evidence that he had, as a middle name, "David." According to family legend, young Samuel Hatton was excited when all the bells in London rang on his eleventh birthday. Informed that they were ringing to mark the accession of George III, Samuel made a slighting remark about the new king, which caused his master (he was apprenticed to a paper-hanger) to flog him for his temerity. Stung by this, he ran away, leaving his widowed mother and his siblings, and went to Ireland, where he managed to find work, and eventually emigrated to Virginia. Other unproven assertions scattered around the internet are that he was born at Stony Stafford, Buckinghamshire (probably a corruption of Stony Stratford, now part of Milton Keynes) and that his father owned a brewery on "Hop Alley in London", which doesn't appear to have actually existed. What is known is that he served under Capt. William Hoffner in the 1st Virginia, commanded by George Gibson, from 1 Mar 1777 to 6 Sep 1780. Contrary to many claims, he was not present at the British surrender at Yorktown. Following the war, he and his family lived in Washington County, Maryland, Hampshire County, Virginia (now West Virginia), and ultimately, sometime between 1803 and 1810, settled in the Big Sandy River valley near Huntington, Virginia (now West Virginia), where he received a grant of 100 acres at Round Bottom (now Prichard) in Wayne County. Among the sons that came with him to the Big Sandy River valley were Samuel Jr., Philip, Elijah, Jonah, William, David, and Asa. Many Hatton descendants still live in that part of West Virginia, near the Kentucky and Ohio borders. Regarding that roadside marker, a 2009 series of forum posts chronicling one man's attempt to visit every marker in West Virginia on his motorcycle includes this one in which he visits the Samuel Hatton marker, installed just the previous year. "There was a fellow rider (Sean) pulled off by the marker enjoying a cigar break. When I mentioned what I was doing, he told me that Samuel Hatton was his Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather." The post includes a snapshot of Sean at the marker, looking just like an amiable biker dude. Whoever he is, Sean is TNH's sixth cousin, so hello, Sean. | Hatton, Samuel (I26764)

| 13711 | Westerly is only the first possible place Torrey lists for his marriage; the others are Stonington (next door to Westerly), Norwich CT, and Roxbury CT. Torrey doesn't name the wife. The unsigned and unsourced Find a Grave page for a Jonathan Armstrong 1630-1701, father of Benjamin Armstrong 1648-1717, has him in Westerly 1670. "JONATHAN ARMSTRONG, of Westerly or Pawcatuck, R.I., settled in the debatable part of the Narragansett territoryy, called in the native speech Mesquamicuck, by the English Squamicuck, claimed by Connecticut jurisdiction as belonging to their plantation of Stonington. He removed in 1670 or 1678 to Norwich, probably as land was granted to him there. He probably removed afterward to Roxbury, Mass., where his daughter Mercy died, October 2, 1694, and Martha died December, 1709." | Armstrong, Jonathan (I957)

| 13721 | Who this John Kent was and how he might fit into the many Kents of early New England is a puzzle that for the moment defeats us. He was certainly not the John Kent born in Newbury in 1645 to Richard Kent and his second wife Emme, as stated in various mind-bendingly confused (and confusing) Wikitree pages. That John Kent married in Newbury, in 1665 or 1666, Sarah Woodman, whereas this John Kent married Hannah Grizzel in 1662 and she lived to 1691. | Kent, John (I34482)

Jesse and Ann were, it is said, early settlers of Warren County, but after Ann's death Jesse returned to Newberry County, SC and died in 1825. Jesse is said to have been a son of John and Hannah Palmer of Newberry County. We have found no proof for any of this, although Daniel Palmer's son Isaac did in fact bear the middle name "Waldrip." | Palmer, Daniel (I28177)
|
| 13726 | Widely said to have been born in Elk Valley, Campbell County, Tennessee. She was almost certainly born in Campbell County, as both the 1850 and 1860 Federal censuses show that as her parents' residence. Her tombstone dates, transcribed by Joan Van Syckle, are 3 Jan 1857 and 15 Feb 1934. Her stone gives her name as "Tishia" Freeman. Some descendants report that she was also called "Tisha." According to a family group record prepared by Joan Van Syckle, "Teresa's date of birth according to [the] 1900 census is Aug 1863." The same FGR gives Teresa's parents as "Joseph Allen (? 1/1/1838 - 5/24/1910)" and "Patricia Barnes". But Teresa Allen's sister Rachel's death certificate on ancestry.com shows her parents as John Allen and Nancy Barnes, both born in Tennessee. Posted by user "Dolores1630" to ancestry.com: Teresa was variously known as, Tasia, Tacia, and Tacey on census records. My father, Teresa's grandson, told me in the late 1970s that he remembered his grandmother being called "Tasia" or "Stasia" and wondered if this was a nickname for "Anastasia" which is my oldest daughter's name. From her death records and her tombstone it appears her given name was Teresa. My father also remembered that Teresa was known for her herbal remedies and was always growing and preparing herbs. She would always quote from the Old Testament and loved to quote the verses about the revenge and punishment of God. "Hellfire and brimstone" verses he called them. He said he was none too pleased with this as a child as it frightened him a bit. | Allen, Teresa "Tacy" (I9861)

| 13739 | Widow of John White of Concord who was killed by native Americans. Contrary to what many online sources say, her marriage to John Crary is recorded at Concord, Massachusetts. The record says that she is currently of Plainfield — presumably Plainfield, Connecticut, not Plainfield in western Massachusetts. "Prudence Hayward was daughter of Joseph Hayward of Concord, Mass., by his 2nd wife, Elizabeth (Treadway) Hapgood, widow of Shadrach Hopgood, who was killed by Indians at Brookfield, Aug. 2, 1675, he being of Capt. Wheeler's Co. Her birth is not on record, but her father, Joseph Hayward, who was made guardian of 6 minor children of his own, Jan. 2, 1699-1700, for certain property 'to them belonging from the estate of their grandfather, Nathaniel Treadway, late of Watertown', names Prudence as about 12 years of age."

| 13748 | Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Anthony_Thacher From http://www.thacherfamily.org/tng/getperson.php?personID=I104541&tree=thacher: Thomas Anthony Thacher was a professor at Yale College; he graduated Yale College 1835; studied in Germany 1843 - 1845. On Sept. 16, 1846, he married Olivia Day, better known as Livy, the daughter of President Jeremiah Day [q.v.] of Yale. She died on May 18, 1858, leaving five sons, and on Aug. 1, 1860, he married her cousin Elizabeth Baldwin Sherman, who with three sons and one daughter survived him. Both wives were granddaughters of founding father Roger Sherman. His son Thomas Thacher was a prominent lawyer. His sons Sherman Day Thacher and William Larned Thacher were the founder of the Thacher School in Ojai, California; and his daughter Elizabeth Sherman Thacher married William Kent (U.S. Congressman). He was also the paternal grandfather of US Solicitor General Thomas D. Thacher and Molly Kazan, and the great-great-grandfather of actress and writer Zoe Kazan. Thomas A. Thacher was born in Hartford, Conn., the son of Anne (née Parks) and Peter Thacher. His first American ancestor on his father's side was Thomas Thacher who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1635, and later became minister of the Old South Church in Boston; on his mother's side he was descended from the Rev. Thomas Buckingham of Saybrook, one of the founders of the Collegiate School of Connecticut, since known as Yale College. He had his preparatory training at the Hopkins Grammar School, Hartford, and graduated from Yale with the class of 1835; where he was a member of Skull and Bones. | Thacher, Thomas Anthony (I13586)

He served for many years as the chief justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court of Judicature, the province's high court." Also historically important are the detailed diaries he kept from 1674 to 1729, recording "the people he met, what he read, what he thought, and the births, marriages, and deaths of family, friends, and acquaintances for virtually his entire adult life. In addition to the diaries, letter books, notations in 'interleaved almanacs,' and the journal of his trip to England in 1688 and 1689 all survive."

| 13769 | William Leo Hayden (1785-1866) was the natural son of Henrietta (Cole) Hayden, by Charles Ewing. When the Hayden family arrived in north-central Kentucky in 1785, they and the rest of their migrant party were confined for some months inside a rough-and-ready fort for their protection. It's easy to imagine that this was hard on them all, and Henrietta (Cole) Hayden had further reason to be depressed; she had lost four children on the trek from southern Maryland. Whatever her reasons, she had an affair inside the fort with a sketchy land speculator named Charles Ewing, and became pregnant as a result. She subsequently confessed the liaison to her husband, who publicly denounced her but did not divorce her. Henrietta and Basil went on to have several more children. William Leo, son of Henrietta by Charles Ewing, was raised in Basil and Henrietta's family, where his nickname was "Not Blood." Basil's will provided William Leo with half the amount he gave to each of his own surviving children. After Basil's death in 1804, Henrietta immediately married Charles Ewing. Shortly afterward, she declared in court that she "will not take or accept the provision made for me by Will of my late husband, Basil Hayden, dec'd., or any part thereof and I do hereby renounce all Benefit which I might claim by said Will, and I hereby claim Dower as the law directs." But in 1807 Charles Ewing left her and bigamously married one Mary (or perhaps Margaret) Flint. In 1808 Henrietta managed to divorce Charles, which required an act of the Kentucky legislature. From Littel's Laws of Kentucky, Volume 3: [Page 446] An act concerning the marriage of HENRIETTA EWING. approved Feb. 3, 1808 This act authorised her to sue CHARLES EWING, for a divorce, in the Nelson court, and to obtain it on a jury's finding that he had seperated from her and intermarried with MARY FLINT, and continued to live in adultery with said Mary. From John Medley (1615-1660) by Mary Louise Donnelly (citation details below): William Leo "Little Willie" Hayden was born 12/16/1785 in Washington Co Ky, the son of Henrietta Cole Hayden. The account of William Leo Hayden's birth is told in letters written by Rev Stephen Badin to Bishop Carroll. "The widow Hayden who had disgraced herself in marriage, has renewed her past scandals and finished by marrying heterodoxum corum heterodoxo (a protestant by a protestant - in 2/4/1805 letter). Mr Rohan who is keeping school on my land has among his school-boys a subject that might become a clergyman were not the illegitimacy of his birth an obstacle to it. I thought proper to inform you of his virtue & talents, & also that the parents are willing & in some degree able to procure him a liberal education. He belongs to Mr Hayden's family, tho he be not his father: he is twelve or thirteen years of age." William Hayden, mentioned in Basil Hayden, Sr's will as "Henrietta's son" [sic — the actual phrase is "my wife's son" —PNH], might be the illegitimate son of Charles Ewing whom Henrietta married seven months after Basil Hayden, Sr's death. In Washington Co Ky, on 2/5/1810 William Leo Hayden married first Anna Pike (d. 1/8/1811), the daughter of John Pike. In Washington Co on 1/4/1813 he married secondly Mary Hayden the daughter of Charles Hayden and Eleanor Elliott. The information on his birth and marriages was recorded in his family Bible. William Leo Hayden was well educated and was the teacher of his own children. In 1835 he moved with his family to Daviess Co Ky. On 11/16/1841 William Hayden purchased 1523 acres of land on the south bank of Panther Creek from William R Griffith and Philip and Eliza H. Triplett (Deed F: 554-555). For a time Court was held in his home. In 5/1866 William and Mary Hayden deeded to Charles Leo Hayden, "...who supported said William and Mary last 10 years ...," 206 acres (Deed T: 306-307). Mary died 7/14/1866 and William Leo Hayden died 12/6/1867 in Owensboro, Ky. From The Immigration of William "Little Willie" Leo Hayden, quoting a letter written in January 1886 by Richard R. Coomes to the Hon. B.J. Webb: [A]s some of St Raphael's congregation appear to show some dissatisfaction of the short and, in truth, unjust reference to said congregation, I feel bound to give some items concerning it. The facts concerning its settlement are these. In 1834 a man well known about Holy Cross [Catholic Church in Calvary, Marion County, Kentucky] as "Little Willie" Hayden, son of Basil Hayden, sold his farm near the church and immigrated to Daviess County, Kentucky to look for better situations for himself and his sons. With him came his brother, Lewis Hayden. The two selected land adjoining the St. Raphael farm, with "Little Willie" agreeing to purchase 1,500 acres adjoining the 200 acres that he had selected for the church. Lewis selected a like amount adjoining that of "Little Willie"'s if William R. Griffith, the owner, would donated 200 acres to the church. Griffith willingly gave the 200 acres and, by doing so, made a sale of the 3,000 acres to the two brothers. The sale of the land that he owned in that part of he county benefited himself, the Hayden brothers, and the Catholic Church. The above purchase was made in 1833 or 1834. At the time, there was not a Catholic living nearer than ten miles from Owensboro, in Daviess County, Kentucky. "Little Willie"'s family came in 1835 as the first settlers in St. Alphonso's congregation, his house being the first and only station for church until the first log church was built in 1844. He was the principal head of Catholic affairs so long as he was able to get about. He died on December 6, 1867, aged 82 years. There was another William Hayden who settled near St Raphaels but moved within the bounds of St Alfonsus before 1840. In 1841 when I moved within the bounds of the then St Raphael's, now St Martin's, there was living in the St Raphael's congregation Randall Blandford, William Sims, Reson Cravens, John Livers, Charles Clayton, John Hayden, John Mattingly, Sylvester Hayden, James M Hayden, Phillip Hayden's widow and family, Thadius Coomes, and others whose names I can't now recall. But this I can say, that after 1845, by marriages and imigration the county filled up very fast so that it was soon necessary to build the church of St Alfonso within seven miles of St Raphael's and a few years thereafter that of St Martin's both principally within the original boundry of St Raphael's all of which may be said to be a fairly prosperous farming country so that the Hayden purchase gave to the Catholics of Kentucky a chance for homes without having to go so far west, and as a general thing, to do better nearer home, not that I am opposed to going West by any means, some of my own brothers & a sister went and did better. I hope this will give you a better idea of the St Raphael country. Will of William Leo Hayden, written 21 Dec 1866, probated 6 Jan 1868: In the name of God. Amen. I WILLIAM HAYDEN, of Daviess County, Kentucky, being of extreme old age but of sound mind and disposing memory and calling to mind that all men must die and wishing to arrange my temporal concerns before I am imposed by the call to appear before my God and Judge to determine my lot through all Eternity hereby revoking and annulling all other wills which I may have made heretofore do make and establish this as my last Will and Testament to wit. Item 1. I bequeath my soul to God who gave it me and my Body to the Earth from which it was taken to be decently interred in an ordinary and plain manner. Item 2. I will and bequeath unto my granddaughter, HELEN MARION PIKE, one bed and furniture, the same that she now uses, it being in the possession of my daughter-in-law (Melissa Hayden) who is entitled to use of the same until my granddaughter may find it to be her interest, or necessary to leave her Aunt Melissa in that event it is to be given up to her demand. Item 3. I will and bequeath unto my son, CHARLES L. HAYDEN an equal share with all my other heirs not named of all money or cash notes or other estate of which I die possessed first paying or settling all just dues or demands against me out of the sd. money and before distribution is made. I further bequeath to my sd son, CHARLES L, HAYDEN trundle bed stead and bedding attached thereof. Also other articles of household and kitchen furniture and farming implements as also my large Duoay bible all of which last mentioned articles I now deliver into his possession as being his own right and I further bequeath to my son CHARLES L. HAYDEN the right of a roadway one rod wide leading from his farm along the lines of a sixty acre tract which I formerly sold to James Eubank so as to enter at the south of the land dividing between Alvin Hayden's farm and the farm which I have sold to URBAN HAYDEN which road and land shall be one rod wide thru from end to end and unobstructed by any gates or fence also on other land intersecting the land by or at the southeast corner of the orchard on the sd. farm and running through the sd. farm passing by URBAN HAYDEN's farm in the direction of the Glenn Bridge as so called this lane shall be one rod wide from end to end with gates there planted, this described road and lanes are reserved in the contract and sale of the land and premises to URBAN HAYDEN unto the afsd CHARLES L. HAYDEN and his heirs forever. Item 4. I will and bequeath unto whichever of my children I may be living with at the time of my demise my bed and all its furniture attached, my wearing apparel, my big arm chair, and small chair also any articles of furniture which I term side board, a large demijohn or glass bottle, a few other small bottles and convenient articles unnecessary to mention. And lastly, I hereby nominate and appoint my son WILLIAM C. HAYDEN the executor of this my last will and Testament. Given under my hand this 21 st day of Dec. 1866 in my own writing. [Signed in the presence of James Hayden, Edwin C. Hayden and James S. Hayden; the latter presumably his grandson-in-law James S.

Its transcription, "Bible records of Basil Hayden (Basil Robert Hayden, 1774-1833)", in Kentucky Genealogical Records Book, GRC Book Series 1, volume 319, pp. 84-87, lists, among the children of Basil and Henrietta (Cole) Hayden, "Milly Hayden 12/16/1785."

James Westfall Thompson's 1907 "Notes and Studies on the Identity of Bernard of Cluny" (citation details below) makes a good circumstantial, if not probative, case that this Bernard was the twelfth-century Benedictine monk best known for De contemptu mundi and the hymn "Omni die dic Mariae" ("Daily, daily sing to Mary").

| 13784 | With his brothers Robert and John, he appears to have fought a protracted dispute with the family of Sir John St. John over the manor of Littleton, Hampshire, which had been leased in the early 1500s to Noyes's parents by the Abbot of St. Peter's, Gloucester, but which had later been granted by Henry VIII to the St. John family following the dissolution of the monasteries. This ongoing fracas went well beyond legal challenges; on at least one occasion a group of several dozen "women and other persons...did assault Nicholas SeyntJohn, his servants and plough men," throwing stones and driving them away. At the next harvest, St. John took by force £200 worth of grain and threatened to burn the Noyes house and kill Robert, at which point the Noyes family gave up their claim. | Noyes, Nicholas (I265)

In September 1334 he was taken prisoner by the Scots, but was ransomed and returned to England. On 21 Dec 1337 he was justiciar of the lands in Scotland occupied by the king of England.

| 13791 | With his wife Sarah Brown, baptized into the LDS church in 1836. Baptism performed by Orson Pratt. [Findagrave.com] Membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1830-1848 has him born 17 Aug 1785 in Armagh, son of John Johnson; living in London, Ontario in 1813; "Baptism Date: 1836, Ordained High Priest." It also has him married to Sarah Brown (no further information about her) and comments that "Edward was listed among the Nauvoo members." Early Members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints says that "Edward Johnson resided at London, Ontario, Canada, in 1813. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1836. He was ordained a high priest and was listed among the Nauvoo members. He was baptized and confirmed a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by E. C. Briggs and G. R. Outhouse." This source also agrees that he was born in Armagh and gives a birthdate of "Aug 1785". Sources cited by Early Members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: Early Reorganization Minutes, 1852-1871, Book A, pp. 85, 141, 351, 507 Saints' Herald Obituaries, 1872, p. 478 Black, Membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: 1830-1848, 25:517-18 Nauvoo Temple Endowment Register, 1845-1846 Platt, Nauvoo: Early Mormon...Series, 1839-1846 Smith, Nauvoo Social History Project Belvidere, Iowa, RLDS Branch Records Note that Seventy Quorum Membership, 1835-1846 is at odds with some of this: it has him born in 1806 in Ireland (no more specific place) and dying in 1873 in Iowa (no more specific place). It does agree that he was baptized in 1836 and notes under "Post-Nauvoo data" that he was "affiliated with RLDS." It also gives "Brown, Sarah" as one of his wives. His obituary appears on page 478 of volume 19 (1872) of the Saints' Herald, the magazine of the RLDS. "At his residence at Preparation, Harrison Co., Iowa, April 18, 1872, of old age, Br. EDWARD JOHNSON, in the 87th year of his life. He was an old-time saint, and was faithful to his conceptions of duty to the last. Peaceful be his rest." Note that an age of 87 in 1872 is in accord with a birth year of 1785. Note also that while the Saints' Herald obituary places the (now-vanished) town of Preparation in Harrison County, Iowa, its site actually was and is in Monona County. From the Saints' Herald for 1 Jan 1873 (vol. 20, p. 16), by Joseph Smith III, Prophet-President: "The notable departures from this earthly life, so far as the church has been affected thereby, are Bro. William Marks, Sr., Brn. George Bellamy, J. B. Brown, Austin Cowles, N. H. Ditterline, Duty Griffith, Edward Johnson, John Norton, and Alva Smith, all good men. The most of these brethren were old-time Saints, faithful and true. All of them were of very excellent service to the church where they lived. As the New Year comes in we wonder how many that begin it will be left at its close to battle for the right." The fact that Edward Johnson died in Preparation naturally makes us wonder if he was one of those who were, for a time, "Baneemyites," followers of Charles B.

| 13794 | With his wife, he migrated to New England in 1635. Probably, but not absolutely proven as, a son of the Rev. Thomas Morse of Boxted, Essex; Hinderclay, Suffolk; and Foxearth, Essex. Samuel Morse and Elizabeth Jasper are the most recent common ancestors of BAM and TWK. They are also ancestors of presidents William Howard Taft and Calvin Coolidge, and (probably, assuming that Nathaniel Butler, husband of Sarah Herrick, was a son of Benjamin Butler, 1727-1800, and Susanna Whiting, 1734-1775) also of the two Bush presidents. Robert Charles Anderson, in The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume V, p. 174: In 1929 G. Andrews Moriarty published an extensive collection of extracts from probate records and parish registers for the surname Morse in Suffolk and Essex and on that basis constructed a pedigree of the family in those counties [NEHGR 83:70-84, 278-94]. He discussed three Samuel Morses who might have been the immigrant, and concluded that the New England man was the son of the Rev. Thomas Morse of Boxted, Essex, Hinderclay, Suffolk, and Foxearth, Essex [NEHGR 83:286-89]. (This same identification had been made in 1865 by Abner Morse [NEHGR 19:264-66].) In 1948, in the course of examining John Morse of Boston, Robert H. Montgomery analyzed Moriarty's arguments and concluded that Moriarty had not proved his case [TAG 24:147-56, at 148-49]. Less than a year later Moriarty defended his position vigorously [TAG 25:54-56]. We have accepted Moriarty's identification as the most likely solution, with the caveat that additional evidence would be welcome. | Morse, Samuel (I23101)

| 13815 | Writes Judge Edward F. Butler (citation details below): "Sarah Butler's father, John Stepney was a friend of her husband's father, Christopher, with whom he had several business dealings. She is mentioned in her father's July 1754 will as Mrs. Christopher Butler, together with Mary Stepney, Rachel Stepney, William Stepney and his wife Mary Stepney." This is footnoted to "Perquimans No., NC Will Book." There is nothing implausible about a man of Perquimans County being a friend and associate to a man of Chowan County; the two counties are adjacent. But we have been unable to locate a July 1754 will for a John Stepney of Perquimans County, North Carolina. The standard reference source on early North Carolina wills is Abstract of North Carolina Wills: Compiled from Original and Recorded Wills in the Office of the Secretary of State by John Bryan Grimes, Secretary of State (Raleigh, NC: E. M. Uzzell, 1910). In it are found abstracts of the wills of two John Stepneys. One, dated 11 Nov 1750, lists sons John and Samuel; daughters Sarah, Mary, Marcey, Elizabeth, and Rachel; and wife and executrix Sarah. The other, dated 2 Feb 1754 and probated in April, lists sons William and John; daughter Mary; and wife and executrix Elizabeth. The originals of both of these wills are viewable on ancestry.com. Although the first of these mentions a daughter Sarah, neither of them mentions a "Mrs. Christopher Butler." It is possible that the John who died in 1754 is the son John of the John who died in 1750. But neither of these John Stepneys had a will written in July 1754, nor one probated in that month. And neither ancestry.com, familysearch.org, nor Secretary Grimes's volume of abstracts, feature a will of any John Stepney who wrote a will, or who had a will probated, in that month. A John Stepney, possibly the one who died in 1750, was definitely a substantial figure in the early history of Perquimans County. According to the History of Perquimans County by Mrs. Watson Winslow (Raleigh, North Carolina, 1931), a John Stepney is found on a grand jury in 1693; took the oath as clerk of Perquimans County in Mar 1697; was one of only two justices who could sign his name (as opposed to making a mark) in the last decade of the 1600s and the first decade of the 1700s; was a vestryman appointed by an act of the NC assembly in 1715; and held the title "Register of All Writings for Perquimans Precinct" in 1716. | Stepney, John (I1852)
|
| 13816 | Writing in 1943, G. Andrews Moriarty (citation details below) referred to an "ancient illuminated pedigree on vellum, drawn up between 1608 and 1612 for Edward, father of the immigrant, with many carefully painted coats of arms. This pedigree eventually came into the possession of Richard Scott of Providence and passed down in the family of his descendants, the Scotts of Newport." This pedigree gave this Edward Scott as the son of another Edward Scott, the latter the third son of Richard Scott, third son of Sir John Scott of Scott's Hale, Kent. The Edward Scott shown as this Edward's father was given as a younger brother of Reginald Scott (d. 1599) of Smeeth, Kent, In 1960, Anthony Wagner demonstrated that this pedigree had to have been a forgery, probably made by "such an one as William Dawkyns, 'a notable dealer in arms and maker of false pedigrees,' for whose arrest in 1597 a warrant was issued giving the names of nearly a hundred families, chiefly in Essex, Hertfordshire, and Cambridgeshire, for whom he had compiled spurious pedigrees." A forgery, first, because evidence exists that Reginald Scott was an only son; and second, because of various IPMs and transactions too detailed to summarize here, it would appear that by 1576 no brother or male descendant of a brother of Reginald Scott could have been living, thus rendering the pedigree impossible. Wagner supposes that the present Edward Scott, who died in 1627, was probably one of the three sons of Richard Scott who d. 1565, and who was also a clothier of Glemsford. This fits very well with the Scott line presented by John Brooks Threlfall (citation details below), in which Richard Scott who died at Glemsford in 1565 is given, among his other children, an Edward "perhaps b 1540-44", who married an Elizabeth, who was a clothier, and who died in 1627. | Scott, Edward (I20000)

Emigrated with his father, wife, and offspring on the Bevis, which departed Southampton before 2 May 1638. He was a carpenter and a planter. He was literate; his will mentions many books, including works in Latin and Greek. There exists no record of him undergoing higher education; Zubrinsky (citation details below) speculates that he may have been tutored by a local clergyman. At various times, deputy to the general court of both the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Plymouth Colony.

| 13830 | [From this Phelps site.] Autobiography of Hyrum Smith Phelps Hyrum Smith Phelps first saw the light of day in the once beautiful city of Nauvoo, Illinois, February 26, 1846. Referring to his early life he said: My parents, Morris Phelps and Sarah Thompson Phelps, had already been expelled from their homes twice--Kirtland, Ohio and Independence, Missouri--leaving them very little of this world's goods. Some three or four thousand Saints had crossed the Mississippi River by ferry boat and on the ice headed for the valleys in the Rocky Mountains. By the middle of the following June, my father had a yoke of oxen and cows to pull one wagon, and in company with some others he started to follow those who had gone previously, arriving at what they called "Winter Quarters" on the Missouri River in Iowa. We remained there until June 1851. Father worked at wagon making most of the time. When he had managed to raise two teams of oxen and cows, a company of sixty wagons was organized, Father was made captain, and they started for Utah. After many trials and hardships, they arrived in Salt Lake City September 25, 1851. The first winter Mother and two children stayed with her brother, Samuel Thompson, in Mill Creek Canyon. During the winter, Father found a location in Alpine, Utah County and a house (such as it was) built on a piece of ground he had taken up. Soon after we were located, another member was added to the family, a son, Charles Wilkes Phelps, who lived four years and died with measles. During 1853 and 1854, Father, his son-in-law, James Holmes, Isaac Huston and James Preston built a saw mill near the mouth of Dry Creek Canyon about a mile and a half from Alpine. During the summers from 1853 to 1859, I herded sheep that belonged to the settlers of Alpine. All I had for my dinner was segos [lily bulbs] that I would dig out of the ground with a digger that I carried with me. (It was a pointed stick something the shape of a beaver's tail.) It was while herding sheep that I was tempted the hardest to steal It came very near getting the best of me. James Preston was down in the penstock of the saw mill repairing something, and I brought my sheep near the mill. I spied a dinner pail and taking the lid off I saw some flour biscuits. I put my hand in the pail to take a biscuit and was reminded of that commandment, "Thou shalt not steal. " Then I remembered the teachings of my mother, "Thou shalt not steal. " Finally I got courage enough to get away and I went out in the mill yard and began to pick gum. Soon I heard a voice call my name and when I went back, James Preston gave me a biscuit and a leg of chicken. Maybe you think I wasn't thankful I had resisted the temptation. We had been without wheat flour for several months and had been eating musty corn meal bread. I can now [1922] remember those days just as vividly as though they had been within the last two years. Only those that experienced the hardships of those days can realize what they were. I went to school three or four months in the winter until I was seventeen years old. About the fifth grade was as far as I reached. When I grew large enough to put a yoke on the oxen, I quit herding sheep and worked on the farm and in the canyon. When I was sixteen, I calculated I could do as much as a common man at most anything. In the spring of 1864 I was 18 years old. Father sold out all his lands and home and decided to go up to Bear Lake Valley, Idaho. James Holmes and my half brother, Joseph Phelps, and my father fitted out ox teams and made the start April 1864. They landed in Montpelier on May 17, 1864. All three took up a farm and started once more to make homes. They built log houses with dirt floors and roofs. In the winter of 1865 I commenced keeping company with Miss Clarinda Bingham. In the fall of 1866 frost had killed all of the grain and Calvin Bingham decided to move back to Hyrum, Cache Valley, as he had to depend on blacksmithing for a living. That meant he would take his daughter Clarinda also. She and I talked the matter over and we decided to get married. When I laid the matter before the blacksmith, he said, "Nothing doing. You are both too young!" (Which was verily true.) I talked the matter over with a friend, and he advised me to give the old folks the dodge and get married anyway. So on the evening of September 26, 1866, we invited a high priest by the name of John Turner to come over to the neighbors' and perform the ceremony for us. For a short time it looked like something interesting was going to happen around the place. I didn't have very much to say, but a good many things ran through my mind that space will not permit me to mention. Finally, things began to get normal again, and we decided if I would go down below to the town of Benningston and help get the sheep across the Bear River, we would be forgiven. This was carried out to the satisfaction of all concerned. Now for a description of the home I took my bride to: My mother's house had but one room 18 by 17 feet, a dirt roof and floor with a straw carpet. She had her loom in there during the winter. Her bed was in one corner and I had a bunk built in another corner. It was built into two sides of the house and one log stood out in the room. A straw bed, buffalo robe and quilts comprised our bed for the winter. In the spring, the fore part of May, I found there was going to be an increase in the family, which put me to my wits' ends to know how to meet the situation. But it happened that providence had smiled down on me again by sending the Indians into the valley somewhat earlier than usual. I happened to be the sole owner of a little brown pony which I sold to an Indian for a buffalo robe and seven elk skins. The nearest dry goods store at that time was Richmond, Cache Valley, some 65 miles across a big mountain. It happened that my brother Joseph was in the same boat that I was, and he and I started out to find a market for what we had to sell. I sold my buffalo robe and three of my elk skins, (I had four elk skins left to make me a suit of clothes) and bought a few yards of flannel and a few yards of calico, a bottle of castor oil, a box of Grafenburg pills and three hundred pounds of flour, and I went home with a smile on my face that did not come off for a long time. That summer I built a house and moved in and we called it our home. Father took a contract that summer to build a bridge over Blacksmith Fork about 60 miles southwest en route to Ogden. He let James Homes, Hyrum S. Rich and myself in with him, and we received $86 each in store pay on Williams Jennings in Salt Lake City. Now, reader, I want to tell you that was the first time in my life I had worked for money and appropriated the proceeds for myself. Previous to that it had always been for Father's family. With my store bill I bought me a scythe to cut hay, a pitchfork, a shovel, ax and kitchen furniture. And we were just as happy as young married folks can be Then for the next ten or fifteen years, every sixteen or eighteen months, an extra member was added to the family until we had an even dozen. I forgot to say that we obtained the cattail feather bed from bulrushes on the river bottoms the first winter. My spare time was occupied trying to improve my home and surroundings. Crops were cut short by the early frosts. Sometimes entirely. But with all the drawbacks that I endured, I accumulated means and felt I had been wonderfully blessed. In the summer of 1872, Brigham Young came to the valley on one of his annual visits and he preached discourses on plural marriage. (Up to that time, polygamy had never appealed to me very strong. I had been raised in a polygamous family, and I thought I never wanted any of it in mine.) After I heard Brigham Young's sermon, there was a feeling came over me that I had better at least make the attempt to get another wife, but to eliminate the courting; just ask the consent of the girl and her parents and if either was opposed, that was to be the end of it. When I raised courage to put it to the test, everything was in the affirmative. September 8, 1873, I was married to Mary Elizabeth Bingham, sister to my first wife, in the Endowment House. Being raised in a polygamous family, I thought I knew about as much as anybody on how to guide the ship. How well I succeeded, those that have been acquainted with me can be the judge. During the winter and spring of 1874 and 1875, Charles Mallory and I built a sawmill in Montpelier Canyon. After that I could build and finally got comfortably situated. On May 22, 1876, Father died after spending the winter in Southern Utah. He arrived home May 17 and died five days later. The early frost and cold long winters caused me to make a change to a warmer climate. With consent of Apostle Charles C. Rich, I disposed of all my belongings and put it into teams, wagons and cattle. On October 3, 1878, in company with Charles Dana and son Roswell, John Hibbert, John and William Lesueur, Charles Warrener and Robert Williams, we set out for Salt River Valley, Arizona. We arrived at Mesa on January 17, 1879. Robert Williams stopped in Salem, Utah. He had an ox team and the rest of us had horses. We arrived in Mesa with four teams, three wagons and about 25 head of cattle, mostly cows. The first settlers had only been located since October. They were living in tents and sheds mostly. The company let us join them, giving us a chance to work out water rights to get shares in the company. It was hard to get a home and get comfortably located again. I disposed of all my surplus stock, teams, and wagons which enabled me to buy provisions until I got houses, such as they were, to live in. Everything went well with us until September 1884 when Charles I. Robson, Oscar Stewart, Alma Spillsbury, George Wilson, James Wilson and I were indicted for polygamy and unlawful cohabitations. We never tried to evade the propositions as we believed the law unconstitutional, and we had no trouble getting bondsmen. The next spring the trial court convened in April, We all went down to Phoenix, the county seat, about a week before our trial was to come off to see if we had any friends that we could depend on. We found about all the friends we had were saloon men and that kind of people. We employed lawyers and the church sent Tom Fitch of Los Angeles to take charge of the trial. Things looked darker to us every day. Our lawyers worked with the judge and did all they could to get some assurance from him to show us some leniency, but failed. Alma Spillsbury's case was brought to the jury and in less than twenty minutes a verdict was given--Guilty. Our lawyers told us there was no use for any other to stand trial, and so they informed the judge that the others would plead guilty. We were told to appear at 10 a.m. the next day. The judge said we would have to promise to obey the law. That caused me some serious reflections. I will now relate a dream I had two or three nights before. I went to bed wondering what the outcome of it all would be. I dreamed I was out in an open country all alone, close by me stood a very small bull, a cherry red in color, the most perfect and handsome animal I had ever seen. His horns looked to be transparent and came to a very sharp point. As I looked, at a great distance I saw a large object moving towards me, and when it came close enough to tell what it was, I saw that it was a monstrous bull. I discovered that he was mad, and the closer he came the more mad he became. I saw he was making for the little bull, and he looked as large to me as an elephant. He never halted till he came up within six or eight feet of the little fellow, and all the while the little fellow stood chewing his cud not seeming to pay any attention to the monster bull. When the monster stopped, I thought he put out his tongue and his eyes were like balls of fire. He made a dive at the little bull, and at the same time the little bull caught him in the neck, completely unjointing it. The monster fell and I woke up. This dream brought joy to all of us. We felt that something was going to happen that would cause a change in our favor. On the morning of April 11 at 10 a.m., we all appeared ready to take our medicine. The first name called was Hyrum S. Phelps. The judge asked, "Mr. Phelps, you have pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful cohabitation. Have you anything to say why the court should not pass sentence on you?" "I have just one request, your honor," I replied. "That is that you do not insist on me obeying the law as you interpret it. I consider the law unconstitutional and made especially to punish the Mormons. I will hold myself subject to the law at all times, but I don't want to make any promises." "Mr. Phelps, I am not here to decide on the constitutionality of the law, but punish those that violate the law as it stands, and I shall expect something from you that will convince me you will obey it the same as all law abiding citizens," he said. "Your honor, God gave me my wives. They were virgins when I married them. I can hold my hand up and say before God and man that I never did, outside of the marriage relations, have anything to do with any man's wife or daughter." I spoke for fully five minutes on the purity of marriages and why we practiced it. At the conclusion of my talk I said, "That is all I have to say." The first word he spoke was to those sitting near him. He said with tears in his eyes, "Gentlemen, you may think that this is a desirable position to pass sentence on these men. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do. You are some of the best citizens we have." Turning to me he added, "Mr. Phelps, I realize your family needs you at home, and I shall give you only ninety days and no fine to pay." I thanked him for being so lenient. The next day the warden inspected us, gave us a clean haircut, a shave and a brand new suit of clothes with the stripes running horizontally. The night before I was sentenced, Mary Elizabeth gave birth to a baby girl and a month following she lost her little two-year-old boy. The warden gave us all privileges that were possible and the most comfortable cells in the prison. We were turned loose again on July 12, 1885. I then went to living again as I had always done. The stake authorities thought I was running desperate chances as I was living with both families, and advised me to go to Mexico. In the spring of 1887, I drove down to Juarez, Mexico to see what I thought of the country. I did not like the government in that country. On Dec. 3, 1890, I received a call to serve a mission to the Southern States and to be in Salt Lake to leave for the mission Dec. 16. I told my boys I would borrow the money and start Dec. 5 to go up to Bear Lake and see my folks there before going on my mission. The third day after I received my call, I started. I arrived at Maricopa where I was to change cars on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The train stopped, I looked out of the window and who should I see but my old friend the Federal Marshall who was after me. The Spirit told me he was wanting me and for me to get off the car on the opposite side from where the others were getting off. I was to go around, and come in behind and get on the other train on the opposite side from where the others were getting on and walk lame. When I came in full view of the officer, the Spirit seemed to operate on me just like some person giving me a command. When the train started off, I looked out the window and saw that my poor old uncle Brother Sam Thompson was returning home after a short visit with my mother. I did not have time to tell him what was taking place. I waited in Yuma until the next day and Uncle was on the train, so we went on our way without any more trouble. I visited my relatives in Bear Lake and they contributed more than enough to pay my expenses from Salt Lake and back again. I arrived at my journey's end (Spartanburg Mills) on Dec. 23, 1890. I had just one dollar in my pocket, and I gave that to the family I was to stay with to buy Christmas presents as they were very poor. David LeBaron was my first companion. I was gone 23 months, but never slept out one night, only had to pay for one night's lodging during my entire stay in the mission field. While on my mission I baptized four persons. When I returned home, I was a better man and had a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel During my absence, President Wilford Woodruff had issued the Manifesto and my law breaking was at an end. On the 26th of February 1889, I fitted out two teams and went to St. George, Utah, to work in the temple. I took my mother, wife Clarinda, daughter Lucretia and son Calvin. We had our three oldest children sealed to us and mother had her two oldest sealed to her and father. I also did the work for Grandfather Spencer Phelps and his wife. We were gone from home six weeks. The work done at St. George completed all the vicarious work on my ancestors that I knew of at that time. My mother made her home with me from the time we left Bear Lake, Idaho until her death January 31, 1896. About the year 1900, I received a letter from my nephew, William R. Holmes, who was laboring as a missionary in Massachusetts at the time that The Phelps Family of America and Their English Ancestors was being published in two volumes and there might be a chance for me to get my family included in the work. I sent a list of my family, but it was too late to be inserted in the book, However, I sent an order and received the genealogy of my ancestors back for eight generations. My wife Mary Elizabeth and I have been working in the temple at Logan, Utah most of the time since April 1919 to 1925. After returning home from my mission, my time was occupied on my farm and surroundings until about the year 1910. My sons being married and myself along in years, I was not able to do the work required. I decided to sell the 80 acres and when the buyer came along, I sold for $19,000 and bought a city lot in the town of Mesa, and built a home on it for Clarinda and a home for Mary Elizabeth on 20 acres I had left previous to my selling. On October 13, 1906 Mary Elizabeth's house burned down. We were sleeping out of doors at the time and everything was burned except the beds and clothing we had taken off our bodies when we went to bed. It was a brick house and it burned so quickly that the walls were not damaged very much. I soon rebuilt and was comfortably situated again. During the winter of 1917-18 I sold my ranch home and we moved into another home I had built in town. My plans were to spend the balance of my days working in the temple for the redemption of my ancestors who are dead and gone. Now in conclusion of the story I have given of my life, I must say that I have been true and faithful. On the advent of another birthday, I will be 77 years old and I have every reason to believe I will live till I am 95 years old. If I should live that long, I expect to hear of more sorrow and suffering from wars, famines, earthquakes and destruction by the destroying elements than I have ever heard of in the last fifty years. I have never sought after notoriety of civil offices. I am thankful that I was counted worthy to be called into the High Council at the organization of the Maricopa Stake, which office I held and tried to honor until the 8th of December, 1912, when I was ordained a patriarch. And I say as Nephi of Old, "I was born of goodly parents" who did all they could for their children under the circumstances by which they were surrounded. And as my ancestors before them. I am proud to know that I am of such stock, for many of them fought, bled and died in the Revolutionary War. I thank my God that I am permitted to do their work in the temple of the Lord, and I pray that my children will join with me as soon as circumstances will permit them to do so. I know the Lord expects it of us, and if we fail to do what we can for them, we will come to our condemnation. (You have ears to hear, take warning.) As for myself, I know I have made many mistakes and fallen into many habits that were not becoming to a Latter-day Saint. I have not controlled my tongue and have said many things I should not have said. But with all my failings, I have always tried to be honest with my fellow men. I have had no dollar in my life that I would be ashamed for any person to know how I came by it, not have I ever spent a dollar that I would be ashamed to tell my children— Clarinda, 12, and Mary Elizabeth, 14. Eleven of them have passed to the great beyond. Three of them died and left infant babes. A daughter, a young woman grown and a son 19 years. The others ranged in age from three months to four years. I have also two daughters that are left widows with ten and five children to take care of. So I feel content to know that when my time comes, I will have loved ones to mingle with over there. I thank the Lord that I was permitted to be born when the Gospel of Jesus Christ was again on the earth. I know that God lives, that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of the world and that Joseph Smith was and is Prophet of God and that the Church known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is indeed the only church that is acceptable unto Him as a church. This is my testimony and I here subscribe to it in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. P.S. When I die, I prefer to be buried by the side of my mother without any display of flowers, the same as the rest that have gone on before me. It is a satisfaction to know I will have loved ones to mingle with when my turn comes to go. Given this day the tenth of December, 1922, at Logan, Utah. /s/ H. S.

| 13832 | [Possibly the Robert Cates baptized 21 Aug 1667 at St. Andrews, Colyton, Devon, son of William or Cates Cates of Colyton, Devon by his wife Margaret. Some sources give him as "Robert Ezra Cates", son of "William Abraham Cates". We'll believe in these seventeenth-century middle names when we see them in seventeenth-century records. --PNH] From Economic History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century, Volume II, by Philip Alexander Bruce (New York: Macmillan, 1896): The leading planters were in the habit of importing shoemakers from England for the same reasons that moved them to bring representatives of other trades. [William] Fitzhugh, writing to John Cooper, one of his London correspondents, in 1692, requests him to send over to Virginia several shoemakers, with lasts, awls, and knives, together with half a hundred shoemaker threads, some twenty or thirty gallons of train oil and proper colorings for leather. He had set up a tan-house and wished to convert the product into shoes on his own plantation. The need of importing shoemakers was probably greater in the Northern Neck, in which part of the Colony Fitzhugh resided, than in the older communities, where the representatives of trade was more numerous and more skillful. The county records of that period contained many indentures between planters and shoemakers. Of these, a fair example was the contract of Robert Cate and Peter Wyke of Henrico in 1679. Cate entered into bonds to serve Wyke for a term of four years. He was to be exempted from task of planting and tending tobacco, but he was required to perform all other agricultural work; he was to receive by way of remunerations, food, drink, apparel, washing,and lodging, and when his agreement expired, a good suit and three barrels of Indian corn were to given him. It will be observed that while Cate was engaged principally for his knowledge of the shoemaker's trade, he was also expected to make himself useful in other branches of industry. This was probably the case with all classes of machanics who earned a livelihood in employment of landowners in the seventeenth century. From Dr. Banks R. Cates Jr., Charlotte, NC: Robert was a Quaker shoemaker from Henrico County Virginia in the James River area. Robert Cate entered into bond to serve Peter Wyke of Henrico County in September 1689 for a term of 4 years. Recorded October 1689. "Peter Wyke having made an agreem:t for service wh Rob:t Kate his bought serv't for a longer time, and both partyes desireing this Court's approbacon therof & concurrences therein according as ye law requires; the same is by ye Court thought to be for ye benefitt of ye sd serv:t (if ye word Apparell were interlined in ye Condicon, wch was pr ye sd Wyke consented to & done in open Court) & therefore order'd to be enter'd on Record." (Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, v. 32, no. 1, p. 25) Robert Cate was imported from England to Virginia. That is to say, his passage was paid by someone else, in return for which that person received a right to 50 acres of land in Virginia per head imported. Such a headright, for the importation of 28 persons, including Robert Cate, was claimed by John Pleasants, the younger of Henrico County, Virginia, in 1713.

| 13833 | [The following text about Robert Burdick appears on many different genealogical sites. We've been unable to identify its original author, but it seems to economically narrate the events that are found in other accounts of Robert Burdick.] Robert Burdick, the immigrant ancestor of the Burdick family [...] came to Newport, Rhode Island from England in 1651. Robert Burdick was admitted a Freeman of Newport on May 22, 1655, and a Freeman of the Colony of Rhode Island on May 20, 1657. He married Ruth Hubbard, the first white child born at Agawam (now Springfield), Massachusetts, on November 2, 1655. Robert Burdick gained early notoriety during a land dispute between the colonies of Rhode Island and Massachusetts over a tract of land known as the Pequot Country -- land taken by the English colonists in the Pequot War of 1637 -- which is now situated, largely, within New London County, Connecticut. Boundary disputes had been going on for some time between Massachusetts and Connecticut over land within the Pequot Country, but the conflict in this instance was primarily between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The dispute was centered upon a small settlement located in Pequot Country, between Mystic and Pawcatuck, which, in 1658 was named Southertown, and which, today is mostly contained within Stonington, Connecticut and a small part of Westerly, Rhode Island. In October 1658, the colony of Massachusetts laid claim to this settlement, declared it to be a plantation with the name of Southertown, annexed it to Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and appointed special commissioners and a constable to administer the new plantation. In the meantime, the colony of Rhode Island purchased land in a transaction known as the Westerly Purchase to add to its Narrangansett settlement. Included in the Westerly Purchase was some of the land within the boundaries of Southertown. A group of Rhode Islanders, including the Newport farmer, Robert Burdick, and his neighbors Tobias Saunders and Joseph Clarke, laid claim within the new settlement. In retaliation for the Massachusetts claim to Southertown, the Rhode Island Assembly sent out the warning to all settlers within the area of dispute that their land would be confiscated if they put it under the governance of another colonial government (e.g. Massachusetts). On September 30, 1661, William Cheseborough, an early settler of Southertown from Plymouth Colony, testified before the General Court of Massachusetts of his concern that some thirty-six inhabitants of Rhode Island had come into Southertown and had divided and laid out lots. The General Court of Massachusetts issued a warrant to apprehend the Rhode Island men who had settled in Southertown. A stand-off ensued, and Robert Burdick, Tobias Saunders and Joseph Clarke were arrested (although Joseph Clarke was "upon extraordinary occasion...set at liberty.") For two years, the colony of Rhode Island attempted, unsuccessfully, to negotiate the release of Burdick and Saunders. As a last resort, Rhode Island authorities abducted two Massachusetts officials, who were then exchanged for the release of Robert Burdick and Tobias Saunders. The issuance of the Charter of Connecticut by King Charles II on April 25, 1662 fixed the eastern boundary of Connecticut at the Pawcatuck River. Southertown was situated within this boundary, and thus under the jurisdiction of Connecticut. Later, the British Crown settled the conflict by dividing the disputed land between Connecticut and Rhode Island. The land where Robert Burdick had settled was awarded to Rhode Island, and became part of the area known as Westerly. The land that was awarded to Connecticut became part of the area known as Stonington. After his release from prison, Robert Burdick settled on the same land he was taken from and imprisoned over. He and his wife, Ruth, had eleven children, nine of whom survived to adulthood and had children of their own. He served as a deputy to the General Court of Rhode Island from Westerly for the years 1680, 1683 and 1685, and he was one of the earliest members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church (the Sabbatarians). | Burdick, Robert (I172)

| 13834 | [The origin of the document below is unknown to us. We think Vachel John Hinton was more likely born in or around 1779, and we're pretty sure there's no actual evidence for the name of his mother, but other than that it's interesting.] The Incredible Life of Vachel John Hinton Vachel John Hinton, November 12 or 13, 1771 - January 17, 1873 Vachel John Hinton was born on November 12 or 13, 1771 in Maryland to his parents, Benjamin Hinton and Sarah Hopkins-Hinton. In 1791 Vachel arrived in Kentucky and settled in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. Tragically, Vachel became completely deaf by the mid-1790s. He communicated for the rest of his life partly by writing on a slate that he carried around with him. Although he could not hear, he never lost the use of speech, but his articulation was much impaired by age. Mary Nancy Mattingly became his first wife on February 17, 1810 in Breckinridge County. Mary was born on May 10, 1790 in Kentucky to James Barton Mattingly and his wife, Emma. This marriage produced three children, all girls: Ann Nancy Hinton, born on December 26, 1810; Mary Ann Hinton, born in 1812, and Mary Ellen, born on September 13, 1813. Sadly, Mary Nancy Mattingly lost her life on September 26, 1813 when her youngest daughter was not yet two weeks old. Waiting over three years to remarry, Vachel married Jane Elizabeth Mattingly on January 20, 1817. Ignatius Mattingly and his wife, Sarah Catherine Fowler-Mattingly were her parents. Jane was born in Kentucky about 1792. This marriage would produce a total of eleven children, all born in Breckinridge County, Kentucky: John, born in December, 1817; Sarah M., born in 1825; Joseph H., born on March 25, 1820; James, born on November 14, 1822; Catherine, born in 1824; Austin, born in November, 1825; Nancy, born in 1828; Allen L., born on December 15, 1829; Ezekial, born in 1831; William, born in 1834, and Elizabeth, born in 1836. On January 17, 1873, Vachel John Hinton died at 102 years of age in the county he had help settle in 1791, that of Breckinridge County, Kentucky. His obituary described him as a devout Catholic who had for a number of years devoted much time to prayer. He was buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery (once called St. Anthony) in Axtel, Breckinridge County, Kentucky. He left seventy-three children and grandchildren. ***** Much more on this Vachel Hinton here.

He had a disagreement with a bear and lost his arm as a result, but it was the bear who lost the fight. Later, one-armed Billie became sheriff of Whitley County, an office he held for many years. He had considerable presence and could handle just about any problem with words alone. Nancy Jonckheere once found online a copy of an old North Carolina election handout from about 1850, which said was that the candidate was endorsed by 'Billie Davis, the famous one-armed sheriff of Whitley County, Kentucky.' By 1795, when Billie was 19, he was already married to Sarah Rapier, who was born about 1779 in North Carolina. Her brother Jesse moved to Whitley County, Kentucky, as well. Billie and Sarah both lived to a ripe old age and died in Whitley County: Sarah between 1860 and 1870, when she was at least 81 years old; and Billie in 1864 at the age of 88." ***** We wonder if he wasn't born significantly later than 1776. According to the records of the Kentucky Assembly, William Davis was sheriff of Whitley County in 1848 and 1849, at which time he would have been 72 and 73 years old if he was in fact born in 1776. Memory and oral traditions often exaggerate the age-at-death of particularly colorful individuals. More absurdly, multiple ancestry.com trees claim that this William Davis is the Union soldier who died on 6 October 1864 and is buried at Cave Hill National Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. We have no idea how they imagine that an 82-year-old man was serving as a Union private. ***** Michele Brooks reproduces a bill of sale for his estate, executed by his son Melton Lewis Davis, which may provide some clues to his ancestry: Sale Bill Dated 3 December 1864 Son - M.L. Davis 1 pistol $5.50 Son - William R. Davis 3 books 1.60 William Patrick 4 books .50 William Patrick 5 books .60 Dau - Matilda 1 book 1.90 son-in-law Sampson Parker 2 razors 1.40 Son - M. L.
