In 1910 Census, Thomas is listed with his mother, Wilhelmina (Her name is given as Wilamena) Cochrane in Winthrop, Mass. His step-dad, Archie Cochrane, is a soldier at Fort Banks. It says Thomas's father was b. US (but Joseph Martin was actually b. in Canada). Also, the surname of Thomas and his sister, Grace, is Martin, not Cochrane.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[NI00024] I could not find Wilhelmina and her children in the 1900 Census despite checking spelling variations, even looking at the entire Census for So. Portland! Joseph is listed in the 1900 Directory as boarding with his sister Harriet and her husband, Sumner P. Loveitt, but is not in the 1900 Census anywhere, as far as I could determine!

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The 1910 Census entry for Wilhelmina is as follows:

COCHRANE, Wilamenaage 37, head, second marriage; m. 3ys; 3ch/3 lvg; b. Me; par b. (looks like) Que, Irish????

Comments on 1910 Census entry: Wilhelmina's given name incorrectly spelled as Wilamena. She had actually had 4 children by this time, not 3. First dau., Elizabeth Martin, was b. 1893 and d. 1897. The entry of her parents is difficult to read, but looks like "Que, Irish", which is way off the mark. The father of Thomas and Grace, Joseph Martin, was born at Gaspe, Canada, not the US. Also, Thomas and Grace's surname is Martin, not Cochrane.
Archie Cochrane is in a separate census entry, a soldier at Fort Banks in Winthrop, Mass.

Plaque on the wall of St. Margaret's Church, Horsmonden, Kent:

" To the Glory of God and in memory of Simon Willard of Horsmonden who in AD 1634 emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts, near which in 1635 he founded the town of Concord, - celebrated in American annals as the home of many leading thinkers and reformers, - where he lived twenty four years, and became a Major General in the Army and a Judge of the Supreme, Superior and Admiralty Courts. He was the friend of John Eliot the Indian Missionary.
Amongst his descendants were Rev. Samuel Willard, Pastor of the Old South Church, Boston, and President of Harvard University; Joseph Willard, also President of Harvard University; and Frances E. Willard, Founder of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, by whom in 1890 this tablet is placed in the church in which he was Baptized as a token of honour to Him, and love for the old homeland whence he went forth to carry the spirit of liberty and fraternity to the New World."

" To the Glory of God and in memory of Frances Elizabeth Willard born September 28th 1839, at Churchville, New York State, direct descendant of Simon Willard who went forth from this parish in 1634 and founded the city of Concord, Massachusetts in the New World. She accomplished a greater work than her ancestor as she laid the foundation of reform in her country wider and more enduring. With tireless enthusiasm she worked for the true liberty of America, and enlisted more than half a million women the world over, pledged to uphold the best interests of Home and Humanity in the strength of God. On the 18th February 1898, God called her."

The Willard Memoir [Joseph Willard], Soldiers in King Philip's War [George M. Bodge], History of Cambridge [Paige], History of Concord [Shattuck], History of Groton [Butler], New England Historical and Genealogical Register, all give interesting accounts of Major Simon Willard, one of the finest types of a Puritan, living in New England in the middle of the seventeenth century [1634-76].

Simon1 Willard was b. at Horsmonden, County Kent, England; bap. April 17, 1605. He was the son of Richard Willard by wife Margery, and brother of Margery [Willard] Davis, who married, in England, DOLAR DAMS. The family name in England is very old. It may be found in the Domesday Book.

Simon Willard m., in England, Mary, dau. of Henry and Jane [Ffielde] Sharpe, who was the mother of nine children. She was b. at Horsmonden; bap. Oct. 16, 1614; she d. at Newtowne [Cambridge]. He m. second Elizabeth Dunster, who d. in six months; m. third Mary Dunster, sister of Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard College. He mentions in his will "my sister Willard, and all her children." Mary [Dunster] Willard was living when her brother Henry's will was probated. She was the mother of eight children, by Willard, born between 1649-66. She m. second, July 14, 1680, Dea. John Noyes of Sudbury, Mass., and d. in that town, Dec., 1715.

Simon Willard was living in Cambridge [New Town] 1634. His house was on the south-east corner of what is now Winthrop and Dunster Streets. He moved to Concord in 1635.

In the summer of 1635 Rev. Peter Bulkeley, " a man of great learning, of large heart, of noble family, possessed of wealth, and distinguished as a divine, arrived in Cambridge, and to him Willard attached himself with affectionate regard." This alliance with Bulkeley shows that Willard had no disposition to follow the Hooker congregation to Hartford, and that his mind was so constructed as not to become a recipient of those somewhat mystical dogmas which became rife the following year in the Antinomian controversy.

In describing this emigration from Cambridge to Concord in 1635, Johnson in his Wonder Working Providence [second edition, p. 5] says, "The band of Concord is led by Capt. Simon Willard, being a Kentish souldier."

Again quoting from Johnson:
"Of the laborious worke Christs people have in planting this wildernesse set forth in the building of the Towne of Concord being the first inland Towne.
. . . "Upon some enquiry of the Indians who lived to the North-west of the Bay, one Captain Simon Willard being acquainted with them by way of Trade became a chief instrument in erecting this Town, the land they purchase of the Indians, and with much difficulties traveling through unknown woods and watery scrampes [swampes] they discover the fitness of the place, sometimes passing through Thickets, where their hands are forced to make way for their bodies passage, and their feet clambering over crossed Trees, which when they missed they sunk into an uncertain bottom in water, they wade up to the knees, tumbling sometimes higher, sometimes lower, wearied with this toile they at the end meet with a scorching plain; . . . lying in the open air, while the watery clouds pour down all the night season, and sometimes the driving snow disolving on their backs, they keep their wet clothes warm with a continued fire, till the renewed morning give fresh opportunity of further travel; after they have thus found out a place of abode, they burrow themselves into the earth for their first shelter." (Ibid., pp. 112-113.)

And thus was established by Rev. Peter Bulkeley and Major Simon Willard "the first inland Towne."

Johnson, an Englishman, was contemporary with these times. He was in this country, and his descriptions are from personal observations.

"A beautifully rounded little eminence, following the triangle made by the junction of Sudbury and Assabet Rivers with the woodlands, meadows, and arable land attached to it, made a tract of about four hundred acres, bounded chiefly by the two branches of the Concord River; in the second division of the lands, two hundred and twenty-eight years ago, it fell to the lot of Major Simon Willard." (Rev. Grindall Reynolds, D. D.)

The infant town of Concord probably owed more to Major Willard than to any other single person. He was its chief selectman; for eighteen years he was its clerk; for fifteen years its deputy to the General Court. From the beginning he was the military commander, and with two others made the legal tribunal before which all cases, between man and man, of small importance were tried. He was possibly the most influential man in the county. All through his later life he held the office of assistant. In Massachusetts, in the seventeenth century, an assistant was a person with high and varied duties. In the General Court he was a senator. To the Governor he was a councilor. In the administration of law he was a member of the only Supreme Judicial Court of the period. To all these honors and labors Simon Willard was called for twenty-two successive years, and just as he died received the largest vote given for any one for his twenty-third term. In 1641 to him and two others was given the whole charge of trade with the Indians. In 1655 he was promoted to the command of all the military force of Middlesex County. He settled innumerable cases of boundaries of land, and in one case that of the bounds between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

In July, 1658, the selectmen of Lancaster, feeling the need of a ruling mind, thought "meet to order a letter of invitation to be sent to Major Simon Willard to come and inhabit among us." A similar invitation in a previous year had been declined. But eight months before this last call Mr. Bulkeley had died: this may have weakened his affection for Concord. He accepted the invitation, and sold his farm. For twelve years he was the controlling mind in Lancaster. Then he moved to Groton, where his son was minister. There King Philip's War found him. At seventy, with all the fire and vigor of youth, he took command of the Middlesex soldiers. He it was who, with his troopers and friendly Indians, rescued Capt. Thomas Wheeler and Lieut. Simon Davis, in their last extremity, at Brookfield. March 14, 1676, while absent from home, his house at Groton, with sixty-five others, was burned. One month later he died in his new home at Charlestown. "He was a noble specimen of a noble race. Weighty in judgment, versatile, trusty, of kindly temper, of indomitable industry, he filled well almost every conceivable post."

Major Simon Willard d. April 0-4, 1676. His funeral was one of great pomp: it was on Thursday, the 27th of April. There was a military escort "of several hundred soldiers, consisting of three companies of foot, under the command of Captains Still, Cutler, and Holbrook; and three companies of horse, under command of Captains Brattle, Prentice, and Henchman, the last being commander of the whole." (Willard Memoir.)

Henry Willard had a large estate. At one time he occupied one of the garrison houses in Lancaster. He d. Aug. 27, 1701.

His children, some of whom were men of note, speak well for the character of Henry Willard. Josiah3 Willard, b. at Lancaster, 1693; m., 1715, Hannah Wilder.

She was b.1690, the grand-dau. of Thomas1 Wilder, b. in England, who m. at Charlestown, 1640, Anna Eames; removed to Lancaster, July 1, 1659; "a leading citizen and public officer until his death, Oct. 23, 1667." John2 Wilder m. Hannah --, was a farmer in Lancaster, and father of Hannah [Wilder] Willard.

Col. Josiah Willard was the commander of Fort Dummer [Brattleboro, Vt.]. He was one of the settlers and principal officers in Lunenburg, Mass. He died on a journey from home, Dec. 8, 1750. "He was the grandson of the renowned Major Simon Willard; and was a gentleman of superior natural powers . . . . His death is a great loss to the public, considering his usefulness in many respects, particularly on the western frontiers." The Secretary of State wrote to the son Josiah4 Willard, "I heartily join with you and your family, in the mourning for the death of your father, esteeming it a great public loss." . . . (Willard Memoirs.) His wid. Hannah [Wilder] Willard was living in 1751.

Josiah4 Willard, b. at Lunenburg, Mass., Jan. 21, 1715; bap. at Lancaster, Aug. 6, 1721; m. at Groton, Nov. 23, 1'739., Hannah Hubbard.

Mr. Willard passed many years of his life on the frontiers. He succeeded his father in command at Fort Dummer, and was made lieutenant-colonel. Afterwards he was made colonel. He was in active service in the lines in the campaign of 1755, and was stationed with his regiment at Fort Edward in the same year. His father was one of the grantees of Winchester from Massachusetts in 1733. A church was organized in 1736, and Rev. Joseph Ashley, a grad. Yale Coll.,
was ordained as minister; but the church was broken up and the town deserted of inhabitants on account of the Indian Wars.

But it was reorganized under a charter obtained by the son Col. Josiah Willard and his brothers in '753. A new boundary line had been established, placing the town in the jurisdiction of New Hampshire. Col. Willard became the most important man in the town, holding all the offices of any trust or importance. In 1771 he was chosen the first representative of the town in the New Hampshire Legislature. He d. Nov. 19, 1786; his wid. Hannah [Hubbard] Willard d. Aug. 15, 1'791.

I have had no luck finding Charles and family in the 1900 Census, despite having checked every Olsen in Maine, NH and Vt. Some were close, like Charles Olsen, fisherman, boarding in Gloucester, Mass., but in most cases the age or country of origin was off and never listed with the "correct family"

[NI00061] Renee Seiders has "Mary Lucinda MARR/MOOR/MAN"

[NI00063] 1900 Census gives dob as jan 1837; age 63;widowed and living with son Norman, near "Scott" and Mary A. Gamage.

[NI00067] "Mrs Abbie E. Seiders, widow of Daniel C. Seiders,died Sunday Oct 1 at Pemaquid Falls. The cause of her death was due indirectly to a fall which was sustained some time ago and this was followed by a shock. Mrs. Seiders was born in Georgetown, Maine Aug 19, 1846, the daughter of Benjamin F. and Lucinda M. Jordan. After their marriage, Mr and Mrs Seiders lived in Georgetown for a number of years, later moving to South Bristol. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Seiders made her home with her daughter, Mrs Grace S. Crowley of Pemaquid Falls. She is survived by six children: Mrs. Susie E. Holbrook, of Rutland, Massachusetts, Mrs. Grace S. Crowley of Pemaquid, Wilmot A. of Newfields, New Hampshire, Daniel C. of South Bristol, Jesse R of South Portland, Sanford K. of South Bristol; one brother, Horace A. Jordan of Portland, and one sister, Mrs. Cora A. Mears of South Bristol. Mrs. Seiders was a patient sufferer and was much loved by all those who knew her. Funeral was held Tuesday, Oct 3. Burial was in South Bristol."

-from obit in Portland newspaper in possession of Renee Seiders

[NI00068] According to letter from Nathalie Seiders of So. Bristol, 29 Nov 1977: " I have heard my mother say he was only 24 or 25 at the time of death, he and another fellow went to Boston to go out pogey fishing and hired hotel rooms for the night. Each had seperate [sic] rooms, they fouund her father dead in bed the next morning. He had blown out the gas light instead of turning it off when he went to bed. That left mama's mother with 3 children - mama [Laura Estelle] , Aunt Alice and Uncle Arthur and expecting another one that died a few hours after it was born."

[NI00069] According to a letter from Nathalie Seiders dated 1977, Mary Ann met and married a Fort Preble soldier (Irving Fox) and went to live in his hometown of Kezar Falls. She writes: " They had only been there a short time when he went into town for something and never returned. They never saw him again, never knew what become of him. After that she moved back here (So. Bristol) with the girls and later married Scott Gamage."

[NI00100] "By the will of his father, Clement became the owner of Richmond's Island, where he made his residence and where a number of his children were born. He then removed to his farm on the main land, just opposite to Richmond's Island, and here his first wife Elizabeth died. Tradition says of Clement Jordan that he was always looked up to by his neighbors for advice, as a counsellor in public trouble and as a healer of disease. He was nearly always chosen on the committee of safety in the troublesome times with the Indians, and with the mother country previoius to the Revolution. ... He was very zealous about attending meeting. His large family of children were always required to go, and having no conveyance, had to go afoot, the distance to church being five miles." Had a wide-spread practice as a doctor, treating diseases principally with herbs and roots collected by himself from the earth. source: The Jordan Memorial pg 180.

[NI00104] a great deal of information about Dominicus appears in the Jordan Memorial
From Folsom's History of Saco and Biddeford: " Sometime in the second Indian war, the garrison house of Mr. Jordan was violently assaulted by a large number of the enemy, when he made a brave and successful resistance. The Indians called to him, saying that'they were ten hundred in number'; to which he replied that 'he cared not if they were ten thousand'. A few years after several Indians came to Mr. Jordan's house, and were received with the familiarity common in time of peace, one of whom watching a favorable opportunity, struck a hatchet into his head, exclaiming as he inflicted the fatal blow -- 'There, Dominicus! now kill ten thousand Indian'. The family were all made prisoners, and carried to Canada. They were afterwards restored, excepting Mary Ann, (named by her French protectors Arabella,) who married a French gentleman at Trois Rivieres, on the St. Lawrence, where she was living 1761; she was probably of a very tender age when this calamity befel the family."

[NI00119] Conrad Seiders came to America with a son, Cornelius, though Renee Seiders believes they are one and the same. I do not concur at this point. Conrad was a yeoman of the German Protestant Society. Died at age 75. Grave site unknown, though perhaps at the old burial ground by the river near the original mission.


The information I have on the family of Conrad Seiders is from the research of Renee Seiders of Damariscotta. She obtained her information from the courthouse in Damariscotta and has done extensive work on the Seiders family. She is an officer and founding member of The Old Broad Bay Family History Project.

from History of Old Broad Bay and Waldoboro by Jasper J. Stahl vol I Colonial and Federal Periods Bond Wheelwright Co. Portland 1956 pg 284: "SEIDERS, Conrad 1748 Broad Bay deflected from Philadelphia by Joseph Crell under suasion of Samuel Waldo. With him from Frankfort am Main came his wife Elizabeth and six year old son Cornelius. Settled on west side of river just north of Eugley's Corner. Cornelius married Elizabeth, daughter of Charles C.G. Leissner. Apparently owned land later in this district which he was compelled to redeem of the Pemaquid heirs in 1764 for £16 2s 8d. This may have been the original family lot. The only stones left in the old Lutheran Cemetery at Meetinghouse Cove are those of two members of this family. Conrad a selectman 1779. Among sons of Cornelius: Jacob 1768-1832, Henry 1774-1839, and probably a Conrad......."

Letter from G.T.Ridlon Sr (author of Saco Valley Settlements and Families):
Kezar Falls, Me. Mar 2, 1905
Mr. Harry Gray
Ea. Denmark, Me
My Dear Friend - You will doubtless be surprised in receiving this letter, but you will find my reasons for writing further on. I have been visiting your home in Bridgton and for the first time found your sisters at home. Addie is, I believe, a real child of God. I am very much intrested in Sadie and persuaded her to read Gods word and to kneel with us in prayer, and she promised she would try to become a Christian.
But Sadie is peculiar and has to be dealt with in a patient, gentle manner. Your father and Sadie came home with me last Monday and made us a very pleasant visit. On Wednesday evening Sadie stood up in meeting here and requested prayer, God blessed her then and she wanted to speak again. She came home with us a happy child and we were all so full of joy that we did not retire until midnight; then Sadie went to her room and sung praise to God a long time.
While at your old house I wrote to Claude at Orono, telling him of Sadie's stand and urged him to be a whole-souled Christian. He promptly answered, writting (sic) one of the best letter I ever read, assuring me of his determination to give himself to God.
Now I am writing to the last one - Harry. My dear lad, I wish to tell you that we are all earnestly praying for you, that you, too, may go with your parents, and brother and sisters, that there may be a Christian household and a united family in Heaven. Wish you could hear Addie pray for you; and now Sadie and Claude are praying for you, Father and Mother are praying for you; I am praying that you may now seek the Lord and be Saved. Will you do so? I am your humble Friend; the true Friend of your family, and wish to have the privilege of seeing all kneel together at the family altar; the privilege of baptising you all at one time. What a blessed, God pleasing scene that would be! I cannot give you up. I am full of faith that you will be encouraged to settle this most serious matter at once and I pledge you my Christian friendship and kindly assistance if you will do as I am asking. May God bless you and make you a model Christian man. The pleasures of this world a (sic) transitory and leave the heart dissatisfied, but a hope in Jesus satisfies. Dear Sadie said she never enjoyed, in all her pleasures, what she enjoyed in a few hours since she publicly confessed Christ. Praise the Lord! I am so happy since I tried to lead Sadie to Jesus.
Come, O come and go with us. Do, O do. When can I see you at home? I will go up almost any day.
Please accept and read this in the same spirit it was written in. My prayers go with it. Amen.
Yours in Jesus
G.T. Ridlon, Sr.

Earl Bridges, homebuilder and outdoorsman, dies at 78
WINDHAM - There's no doubt that Earl Bridges was tough - he was, after all, a United States Marine. Who served at Iwo Jima.
Even his nickname, "Big Earl," conveys the impression that the 6-foot-2, 212-pound fellow was not to be messed with.
But Mr. Bridges, who was 78 when he died Monday, was an uncommonly gentle man.
"He was a very kind and loving man," his wife, June Wear-Bridges, who lives in Windham, said Monday.
She explained that Mr. Bridges, a general contractor who built houses in Portland, in Lewiston, in Dixfield, was a softie.
He loved his four cats and doted on them. He was an attentive husband who used to cook for his wife.
"He cooked the best beef stew," his wife said. "Pea soup, American chop suey, steak . . . He'd always have supper ready for me."
He enjoyed eating shrimp and was a huge fan of B&M Baked Beans.
"He made me come out and buy 48 cans of them last week," his wife said.
Mr. Bridges was born in Lubec, and still carried a lilt to his voice.
Much of the time, he wore a red baseball cap, but he was delighted to replace it with a cap from his beloved New England Patriots.
"He was a very big Patriots fan," his wife said. "He got the shirts and the hat and got everything."
Mr. Bridges enjoyed fishing and hunting, and generally was good at it.
There wre the occasional exceptions, however.
"Last year, he tried to shoot a deer through our TV room window," his wife said. "He missed it. The deer. But he got the window."
Of course, his family ribbed him for that, but Mr. Bridges was so good-natured and had such a sense of humor it didn't much seem to bother him.
He served in Iwo Jima and in Panama during World War II, but rarely talked about his experiences.
"He told me about when they landed at Iwo Jima," his wife said. "But he didn't talk too much about it. He just said how he was a kid and was scared."
His strength and sense of duty, however, overcame any fear he may have felt.
Mr. Bridges enjoyed collecting the new commemorative quarters, and always saved newspapers that came out on days of historic significance.
In the last few years especially, Mr. Bridges's faith grew substantially. He was a member of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Greater Portland.
"He insisted that we go to church every Sunday," his wife said. "He loved the people there and he just was very happy going there."
The other parishioners felt the same way about Mr. Bridges.

[NI00206] From Bridgton, Maine 1768-1968, chapter 12 - New Limington pg 337 footnote: " In the Bridgton News of Nov.30, 1894 was the following item: "The Seavey house in the Swamp District dates back to about 1789 - the first owner and occupant being Wm. Emerson, who came from Methuen, Mass. in 1772 and settled on a lot where Lyman Otis now lives. After six years, Emerson moved to the Swamp District, built an humble dwelling which, not many years later, was superseded by the present Seavey house, built and occupied by William's son, Eben Emerson. The next owner and occupant was Isaac Berry, father of Albert G. Berry, who married a daughter of Wm. Emerson. A house of similar character was built near to the Seavey house, the builder of which was presumably Wm. Emerson, son of Wm. Sr. and brother of Eben. This house was later owned by Deacon James Libby, who moved it across Woods Pond on the ice and dwelt there 'til his death......"
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Michael Emerson came from England, early in the 17th century, where he settled in Mass., and reared a family from whom descended William Emerson and Theodore, brothers, who came from Methuen, Mass., the former in 1772, and the latter in in 1779, and settled in Bridgton, Maine and became the ancestors of the Emersons in that town and Harrison. William Emerson was born in 1748, married Elizabeth Myrick, a Welsh lady, and died in 1827. "He was by nature," says Marshall Cram, " singularly fitted to aid in the settlement of a new country; he had a strong constitution, great powers of endurance, cheerful spirits and a kind heart". He had issue, six sons and seven daughters, of whom one settled here, viz: Major Jacob Emerson .....[etc]"

Is it possible he died in the Halifax harbor disaster in which the waterfront was wiped out and many boats lost?? There is a gravestone for Thomas William, Joseph and "little Willie" in the Trefethen graveyard on Peaks Island. It is unknown who placed the stone and when. Most likely, it was Thomas, my great-grandfather. It says "lost at sea". The Trefethen cemetery is located at the foot of Wild Rose path off Oak Lawn Rd. on Peaks Island, Portland, Maine.
*************
Joseph is listed in the 1900 Directory as boarding with his sister Harriet and her husband, Sumner P. Loveitt, but is not in the 1900 Census anywhere, as far as I could determine!
I could not find Wilhelmina and her children in the 1900 Census despite checking spelling variations, even looking at the entire Census for So. Portland!

In Reply to: Thomas Martin - Quebec to Maine posted by Jeanne on May 02, 1999 at 14:35:04:

One of the settlers of Acadia was Barnabe Martin who arrived there before 1666, so it certainly is possible that "your" Martin was an Acadian. Some of Barnabe's descendants dispersed to New Bruswick after the Grand Derangement" of 1755. I am descended from Barnabe but my line goes from Acadia to a marriage in Repentigny, Quebec in 1763. I suspect that the Acadia Martins were widely dispersed after the "Grand Derangement".
Do a search for Acadia or for Barnabe Martin.

[NI00232] In the death certificate for Elizabeth Martin Dewyea, it lists her father as Nicholas FRELATTE, not Frellick. I believe Frellick is the correct spelling. There were a number of Frellicks living on Peaks Island, where Elizabeth lived with her husband Thomas W. Martin and children. Her son by her second marriage to Francis Dewyea - Ernest X. Dewyea - supplied the information at her death and perhaps simply remembered incorrectly or it was misheard by the clerk.********

Harrison 'Happy' Wood, 87; 'just an all-around nice guy'
EAST BALDWIN - Sometimes it's hard to figure out how people got their nicknames.
Others, like "Tiny" for a big fellow, are meant to be funny.
Harrison Wood's was straight-ahead. For pretty much all of his 87 years, Mr. Wood, who died on Monday, June 16, 2003, was "Happy."
You could see it on his face: "Happy" Wood was a happy man.
There was always a smile, always a kind word, always cheer.
"He was just an all-around nice guy, I'd say," his son, Paul Wood, who lives in Raymond, said Monday. "Never got mad at anybody, always pleasant and involved in most everything."
He never smoked, never drank.
"Never swore," his son said. "Till the last week or two."
He was tall and lanky, with an easy way that lent itself to sales.
For 17 years, he sold cars at Walker Chevrolet in Kezar Falls.
"He was pleasant and not pushy," said his daughter, Janice Nickerson, who lives in Exeter, N.H. "Had a nice pleasant face and a pleasant demeanor."
The two said their father was a perfect dad who always was there for them.
He was an Eagle Scout and scoutmaster of the Baldwin troop. While scoutmaster, his son earned his Eagle badge.
"He wasn't too easy on me," his son said. "We climbed Mount Washington every year with his troop. He just loved to be outdoors. He loved people."
Mr. Wood was a fine athlete who played baseball with the Limington town team, which was state champion one year. He and the team went on to Kansas, where they competed with less success.
He kept playing the game, though, until he was older than 40.
Much of his life, he enjoyed square dancing, and always enjoyed dance music.
He wasn't much for reading - that was his wife's thing - but he liked game shows on television, things like "Jeopardy!," "The Price Is Right" and "Wheel of Fortune." He liked watching baseball, as well.
Mr. Wood also knew his way around the kitchen, and was a good cook, although he once let something burn in the oven because a friend had stopped by and he didn't want the friend to know that he, rather than his wife, was engaged in that particular enterprise.
He collected stamps and coins, and he enjoyed eating - especially ice cream.
Mr. Wood had an apple orchard, and always had gardens.
The longtime car salesman loved cars, too, and used to get a new one every other year.
His favorite: the 1957 Chevrolet.
"Everybody's favorite," his daughter said.

He also worked for 17 years at Walker Chevrolet in Kezar Falls as a salesman, for which he won trips both to the Bahamas and to Mexico for being top salesman. He was a member of the East Baldwin Congregational Church where he was custodian for many years. He was also custodian at Brown Memorial Library. He was a member of the East Baldwin Couples Club, the West Baldwin Grange, and later the Maple Grove Grange in Sebago. He was an Eagle Scout and scoutmaster of the Baldwin troop and had 5 scouts earn their Eagle Scout Badge at the same time. He went on many scouting trips and spent weeks at Camp Hinds with the troop as well as climbing Mt. Washington several times. He played baseball with the town team until he was over 40 and was run down by a man at first base and spent four days in the hospital with a broken collar bone, and thought it was then time to hang up his glove. He also enjoyed square dancing and was a member of the Sacopee Squares. He and his wife were also members of the Sunset Squares, and traveled with them to Hawaii, Bermuda, and Canada.

[NI00259] For the Morning Star: " DEATH OF REV. E.C. WILLEY - Died in Lawrence, Mass., April 6, Rev. E. C. WILLEY, aged 58 years, 8 months. Bro. W. was born, in Bartlett, N.H. experienced religion in the nineteenth year of his age, under the preaching of Rev. Samuel Haselton, and was baptised by the same. In 1834 he was licensed to preach the gospel, and in 1837 he was ordained by a committee chosen by the Sandwich Q. M. He was settled over the following churches in succession; 1st, 2d and 3d churches of Eaton, N.H.; afterwards in Bridgton.
From the latter place, in 1816, he removed to Lewiston, Me., and in the vicinity of that city, and other parts of the State, he labored as an itinerant preacher, the Lord blessing his efforts to the salvation of souls. Afterwards he had charge of a church in Albany, N.H., where he remained until the spring of 1862, when he removed to Lawrence, Mass. He at once connected himself with the F.W.B. church, and remained a worthy and faithful member until his death. While on a visit to his friends, last summer, he fell in the depot at Concord, on stepping from a morning train, and fractured his thigh bone. The close confinement necessarily following from this accident, together with his extreme suffering, so weakened his already enfeebled system, that he had not power to rally, and a disease, known as consumption of the blood, soon ended his life. During his stay with us, he was a consistent, faithful Christian; a constant attendant at church and social meetings, and ever ready to do his part. Even after his injuries, as soon as he was able to got out of doors, he was often seen coming to the prayer meeting upon two crutches, feeling his way through the darkness by the dim light of a lantern, carried by some friend. He felt a deep interest for the young, and often in heart-stirring appeals besought them to come to Christ. In his last illness, though the flesh seemed weak, and his affliction seemed almost too much to bear, yet the spirit was strong, and he was calm and peaceful. When asked as to his prospect for the future, he would exclaim, "All is bright; not a cloud to be seen; Jesus is mine and I am his; I can trust him." Death had lost all its terrors and he was patiently waiting for the summons, to come down from the walls of Zion. He expressed great anxiety for some of his children who were out of Christ, and had a desire to see them all loving and serving the Saviour, before he died, still he was willing to trust it all to God, who can do nothing amiss. A few days before his death he called his family to his bedside and gave them his farewell counsels, made preparation for his funeral and burial, and requested the writer to preach on that occasion. Then his work seemed done, for although he still lingered, he took but little notice of earthly things.
Thus died one of God's faithful servants, trusting in the Saviour he had sought in early life, and had so often recommended to others. He has gone to his reward, and doubtless in the morning of the resurrection, there shall be many souls who shall shine as stars in his crown of rejoicing. - J. BURNHAM DAVIS "

From the Athol Transcript April 12, 1910:
" South Royalston
Terrible Accident Saturday
South Royalston had the worst accident in its history Saturday afternoon, when two men lost their lives in the collapse of the new chimney at the woolen mill. Both Louis Fornier, 22, and William Gray, 51, are dead.
The job is in charge of the Webber Chimney Co. of Chicago, Ill., for the American Woolen Co. The concrete chimney, to be 105 feet when finished, is being erected at the new plant, and had reached a height of 70 feet. Without a word of warning to Fornier and Gray, who were on the top of the chimney, one whole section of concrete caved in, carrying with it the two men inside the staging, and the outside frame into which the concrete is poured, to the ground below, a distance of 70 feet. Both men were completely buried in the cement and truss work. Gray was taken out first, and was just breathing. Fornier was next removed from the ruins, and was dead, probably being instantly killed. The latter was taken to a nearby barn, while Gray was placed on a stretcher, and as the 2:15 passenger train west was just pulling in, he was placed on board and accompanied by his son, C.W. Gray, and Dr. Bates of Ashburnham, started for the Greenland hospital. Gray died just before reaching Millers Falls, having received fatal internal injuries. Both men were terribly mangled. Gray was just able to breathe a few words, and was conscious when taken out of the ruins.
Three fellow-workmen had narrow escapes from serious injuries when the chimney fell, as all were working nearly under it and just managed to reach a place of safety. They were Napoleon Gayonette, James Shean and William Dumas. The accident stirred everyone in the town, and work was generally suspended. Louis Fornier had lived about all his life in South Royalston. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fornier of Maynard, and was a good workman. He was married and leaves two children. His widow is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horton Adams of Athol, well known people in that town.
The death of Mr. Gray was particularly sad. His son, C.W. Gray, is foreman of the chimney job, and the former only came to town a week or so ago from his home in Bridgton, Me. He was intending to go back Monday, and was only helping his son out on the job. It is stated he had been trying to have the son give up the job, as he feared something might happen. He leaves his widow in Maine, as well as another son besides the one in Royalston. Associate Medical Examiner Dr. A. V. Bowker of Athol viewed the body of Fornier. It was freely expressed that the recent damp days had not allowed the concrete to dry sufficiently to allow the weight of men at the top; it was stated also that the (illegible) is but eight inches at the ...(illegible)...and it is claimed that this is not large enough for a chimney 105 feet high. The accident cast a shadow all over the town.
The body of Mr. Gray was taken to Greenfield, and yesterday it was taken by his son to Maine, where the funeral will be held. The funeral of Mr. Fornier will be held this morning in the Church of Our Lady Immaculate, and the burial is in Athol. It is stated that both the elder and younger Mr. Gray were planning to leave the job yesterday. The father (should say son [jmc]) had been in the chimney less than an hour before it collapsed and had just gone down to make out the pay roll. It was stated yesterday by one who has kept a close run of the work that the mixture of cement was correct, and the dimensions of the chimney were right, but the cause of the accident was the fact that the cement was not properly dry. Anyway many would like to see an investigation of the accident. "

Mainwaring and
Elizabeth Thompson never married , they produced Ebenezer .three books mislead on this . The facts will be found to verify this in the work of Charles Libby , a genealogist and lawyer. The correspondence is found between Mr. Libby and the author of the history of Wiscassett. He demonstrates and tries to reason with the author by proofs from the church where Elizabeth Thompson acknowledged that she was the mother of two children, one fathered by A Mr Ball and one by Mainwaring. Ebenezer took the Hilton name when he married , Alexander Gray was eventually the husband of Elizabeth.Embden Town of Yore book by Walker also covers the illigitimacy by saying that Ebenezer had lived so long with the Grays that he had gone by the name of Hilton.
One other book by Sinnett on the Hiltons of Maine also misleads.
Persons to this day are accepting the version that there was a marriage . A Thompson genealogy book was discredited for leaving Elizabeth out of the family. A descendant of Elizabeth said she was proud to claim her. Libby , whose wife I believe was connected to Hiltons also said they were proud to claim her as family. She had been orphaned young and then widowed young , had gone to her church and died with the town's respect.
These facts can be corroborated and verified. The other version may be utilized, but Mr Libby who was "up there "
in estimation in the New England genealogy circles , said an author would be no historian to stray from the facts.. A copy of the letters were filed at several libraries in Maine .
There has been much difficulty in tracing this family of Hiltons due to these misguided sensitivities .
I have a notion the errors are going to persist.
The Wiscasset Library and Damariscota Libraries in Maine as well as other libraries in Maine have copies of the correspondence.

Subject: [GM-L] 1650 SCOTS Prisoners shipped to Lynn, MA and Berwick, Maine
Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2000 14:24:27 EDT


. In November 1650 a number of these prisoners were ap- parently sent to
Boston in the "Unity," arriving in New England early in 1651, no doubt. Sixty
of these prison- ers were sent to Lynn, to work in the iron industry, and the
others dispersed. As the prisoners were sold as in- dentured servants at
about 30 pounds each, the average passage at the time being about 5 pounds,
Col. Banks has suggested that the owners of the "Unity" cleared a handsome
profit of about 1,500 pounds on the trip.

John Gifford, iron works manager, wrote in 1653: 'For 62 Scotts dd a
only left on the works, 17 to Awbrey, 3 to commissioners; 2 sold and rest we
desire to whom disposed of, which is 5 at 20 pounds. Col. Banks listed the
following as being probably prisoners who settled in Berwick, formerly a part
of Kittery, Maine: Niven Agnew, James Barry, Alexander Cooper, William
Furbush, Daniel Ferguson, Peter Grant, George Gray, William Alexander Gowen,
David Hamilton, Thomas Holme, John Key, Alexander Maxwell, John Neal, John
Ross, John Taylor, William Thomson and James Warren.

Mainers' mindsets altered, poll finds

Thomas Martin thinks twice before putting his hand in the mailbox at his North Waterboro home. .........
When it comes to anthrax, 8 percent were "very worried" that they or their family members would be exposed to it, and 29 percent were "somewhat worried."

Martin, 39, of North Waterboro, said he can't help having second thoughts now when he reaches in his mailbox to pick up his mail.

Martin, a store manager, said he has read the warnings that come in his mail about suspicious mail but said they're almost amusing because "by the time I've got it in my hands, it's too late." ................

Some of the respondents felt talking to the terrorists would be futile. Martin was one of them.

"People with that much belief and faith in anything they do, there's really not much you can say to those people," he said. "It would be like pounding your head against the wall. I'm sure those people on the planes had plenty to say - to no avail."

[NI00346] also have birth location of Duxbury, Massachusetts

[NI00347] HOWARD.
--John Howard, with his brother James, came from England and settled in Duxbury; he was among those able to bear arms there in 1643. James, it is said, went to Bermuda, and John came to W. B., and was one of the proprietors and original settlers in the town a. 1651; was young when he came over, and it is said, lived in Capt. Miles Standish's family; was a man of much influence in the new plantation; one of the first military officers in Bridgewater; took the oath of fidelity here 1657; his descendants still own and live on the place where he first settled; he always wrote his name Haward, and so did all his descendants till after 1700, and the early town records are conformable to this spelling; but for the last century it has been invariably written Howard. It is remarkable that the two names of Hayward and Haward, which have always been known as distinct families, were uniformly pronounced alike, Howard. They were perhaps the same originally, and both Hayward; but, in writing, John omitted the Y. There was supposed to have been some connection between the families, but perhaps it arose altogether from intermarriage, as John m. Martha , D. of Thos. Hayward, and was a younger man even that Thomas Hayward, Jr.--He d. about 1700.--He had John, James, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Bethiah, Ephraim.--Elizabeth m. Edward Fobes.--Sarah m. Zaccheus Packard.--Bethiah m. Henry Kingman.--He was licensed to keep an Ordinary or Tavern as early as 1670, and it is remarkable that a public house has been kept there by his descendants ever since till within a few years.

Samuel Packard Will

Samuel Packard the immigrant, early of Weymouth and Hingham came on the ship Diligence and ultimately settled in Bridgewater. He and his wife, Elizabeth ______ had numerous children. For Packard descendants, of course, his will should be of interest, but it is also interesting to note that she late in life married John Washburne, son of John and Margery Washburn and the husband of Elizabeth Mitchell, Mayflower Descendant. He died within a few years of the marriage, being then about 65. Note the interesting comment as it relates to a bequest for dau. Jael, current wife of John Smith, in which he seems to, but perhaps not necessarily, expresses some distaste for Smith.

pg 1 of THE PACKARD LEGACY.

"Although Wicken Hall is set well back from the pub and church, under the feudal system of medieval England it would have been the centre of village life and the residence of the lord of Wicken manor. From at least the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 18th century, the estate belonged almost exclusively to firstly the Barlee (or Barley) family and then the Bradbury family. The only person outside these two families to own the estate in this period was Robert Chatterton who purchased the estate from William Barley in 1557. He subsequently sold it, in 1580, to Matthew Bradbury (a nephew of Thomas Bradbury - the Sheriff of London in 1498 and the Lord Mayor of London in 1509). The present Wicken Hall dates from the 16th century. It has been much altered since and, at one time, was encircled by a moat. Until comparatively recently, Wicken Hall was a farmhouse but is now purely residential. William Bradbury inherited Wicken Hall from his father, Matthew Bradbury, in 1587 and held the estate for 35 years before, on his death in 1622, it passed to his first son Matthew. In about 1602, William Bradbury built Brick House for his second son Wyman or Wymond. This impressive building stands about one quarter of a mile to the west of the church and bears the arms of the Bradbury family over the front door. Up until the early part of the 18th century Wicken Hall and Brick House were owned by the two branches of the Bradbury family before coming into the common ownership of Joseph Sharpe who married into the Bradbury family. It is interesting to discover that William Bradbury’s two sons, Matthew and Wymond, married daughters of William Whitgift of Clavering, Matthew marrying Janne and Wymond marrying Elizabeth. Thomas, the second son of Wymond and Elizabeth Bradbury, emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1634 and his descendants now regularly visit the village to rediscover their roots. In St. Margaret’s church there are memorials to three children of Anne and Francis Bradbury (a grandson of the Matthew Bradbury who was Wymond’s brother). In fact Anne and Francis had seven children in all and must have expected that one of them would eventually inherit Wicken Hall from them. However not one of the children survived their parents. "

Harold E.

Farrington Jr., 86

SCARBOROUGH - Harold E. Farrington Jr., 86 died respectably on Dec. 11, 2004.

Harold, known as Bud by many, was born Dec. 4, 1918 in Portland to Harold E. and Bertha M. (Bond) Farrington.

After graduating from Deering High School, Bud went on to UM College of Agriculture, graduating in 1939.

Bud married the love of his life, Rowena Loletta Martin of Cape Elizabeth, on July 11, 1943, who predeceased him on May 9, 2003. While married to Rowena, Bud served our country in the U.S. Army as 1st Lieutenant from 1943 to 1946.

More than any of his material responsibilities and obligations was the love and passion he shared with Rowena for their family and their faith in God. A man of few words, he largely relied on Rowena to communicate their passions verbally while he, through his actions, reinforced their passions.

To his last hours, you could find him tapping his fingers and swinging his arms as if he was leading one of the parades he enjoyed so much. It was his great appreciation for music and love for his country that would bring tears to his eyes when he would hear the marching music of a parade. In earlier years, you would find him playing his clarinet in local bands as well as Chandler's Band which was founded by his great-uncle, Daniel Chandler in 1842.

Bud realized his lifelong dream and purchased a dairy farm on Fort Hill in Gorham. This dairy farm provided fresh milk, delivered to the door of many Gorham residents.

For many years, Bud volunteered for the West Gorham Fire Department as he found great satisfaction in helping others.

To help fulfill his desire for socialization, you could find him playing Bridge with his friends at Gorham Social Club on Saturday nights.

Bud also worked for Dixon Brothers in Gorham for several years, until his retirement where he took on the position of Greens-keeper at Rivermeadow Golf Course in Westbrook. Later on Bud worked for Neal & York Funeral Home before he finally realized what retirement was supposed to be.

Bud is survived by his seven children, Peggy MacWilliams of Standish, MaryAnn Look of Damariscotta, M. Bond Farrington of Gorham, Kathryn Hegarty of Buxton, Charles Farrington of Baku, Azerbaijan, Susan Marean of Gorham, and Thomas Farrington of Cumberland; 20 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and a sister, Elizabeth Towle, Framingham, Mass.

The family would like to recognize the generous care from the staff at the Veteran's Home in Scarborough and his daughters who kept track of his care and well-being.

Visitation will be held at Dolby and Dorr Funeral Chapel, 76 State St., Gorham, on Wednesday from 10-11 a.m. Funeral services will be immediately following at 11 a.m. also at Dolby and Dorr.

[NI00554] Aroline O. Cochrane
nurse; owned Aroline's Store

Aroline O. Cochrane, 85, a storekeeper and licensed practical nurse, formerly of Bowery Beach Road, Cape Elizabeth, died Wednesday at a Portland nursing home.

For about 14 years, Mrs. Cochrane and her husband, Harry N. Cochrane, ran Aroline's, a small country store at the corner of Two Lights and Ocean House roads that sold everything from candy to gasoline to lobster.

Aroline's sold both cooked and live lobsters, and got a great deal of its business from summer visitors and others on their way to one of the several nearby beaches, said her daughter, Janice C. Morin. The people of the neighborhood and the men at the nearby Coast Guard base were also steady customers.

During that time, Mrs. Cochrane's family lived in the back half of the store. She retired from that business after her husband's contracting business became successful and he built her a new home on Bowery Beach Road.

At age 48 Mrs. Cochrane decided to study to be a licensed practical nurse, and she ended up graduating in the first-ever class of LPNs at Southern Maine Vocational Technical Center, now Southern Maine Technical College. "She was always a caregiver, even before she was an LPN," said her daughter. "She cared for various members of the family. She did like it very much."

For several years Mrs. Cochrane worked as an LPN in the postpartum unit at Maine Medical Center in Portland.

Born in Portland, a daughter of Edward and Loletta Farrar Olsen, she attended Cape Elizabeth schools and was a graduate of Everett High School in Everett, Mass. After high school, she returned to Cape Elizabeth, and lived there for the rest of her life.

She attended Cape Elizabeth United Methodist Church and Cape Elizabeth Church of the Nazarene.

Mr. Cochrane died in 1992.

Surviving are a son, Harold H. Cochrane of Durham; three daughters, Janice C. Morin and Deborah J. Martin, both of South Portland, and Loletta A. Aubrey of Scarborough; a sister, Florence Harmon of Portland; 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

There will be no visiting hours. A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Seaside Cemetery, Cape Elizabeth. Arrangements are by Hobbs Funeral Home, South Portland.

He received of his father's estate about eighty acres about the mill and five acres of meadow on the same side of Langham Bank. He was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John Dodge, who died in England, 1635.

[NI01314] From History of Saco and Biddeford by George Folsom:
" Charles II directed his attention to New England soon after his restoration. In 1664, he appointed four Commissioners to visit all the colonies, 'with full power to receive and determine complaints and appeals in all causes and manners, and to settle the peace and security of the country'. Three of the Commissioners, Sir Robert Carr, George Cartwright and Samuel Maverick, Esquires, came into this quarter in the summer of 1665, when they issued the following proclamation: (long text follows, see Folsom pg 93-95 for entirety). ....we hereby nominate constitute.... Mr. Samuel Wheelwright of Wells,... Mr. R. Jordan of Richmond's Island...Justices of the Peace.....at York the 23 day of June, &c. 1665." (pg 93)
"...The accurate historian of Mass. relates, that those gentlemen, after making appointments and 'exercising divers acts of government' in N. Hampshire and Maine, returned to Boston; and that Mr. Maverick delivered a copy of a letter to the governor of that colony while sitting in court, purporting to be from the King, in September 1666. The Commissioner, it thus appears, was not himself here at the date of our record, but owing probably to the unkind reception with which they had met at Boston and at Portsmouth, he was induced to leave his family at this place, the seat of the new government, where the leading men and a great portion of the inhabitants had welcomed their arrival. The lady of Mr. Maverick was Mary daughter of Rev. John Wheelwright, whom he married at Boston 1660* [*Winthrop's Jour. i. 201, note.]...Mr. Maverick visited Boston 1667, with letters from Governor Nichols of New York, and perhaps accompanied that gentleman to England the same year. We find no subsequent notice of him. (pg139) footnote: Commissionaer Maverick was a son of Samuel M. of Noddle's Island;; the latter died 1664. He was a wealthy planter, and owned property in this quarter' "

Parish Registers of Wicken Bonhunt Baptism 1597 - 1812

1610/11 Feb 28 Bradburie, Thomas, 2nd son of Mr Wyman witnesses: Thomas Mede, Thomas Wadeson, Mrs Barlee, Mrs Jane Kemp

"Although Wicken Hall is set well back from the pub and church, under the feudal system of medieval England it would have been the centre of village life and the residence of the lord of Wicken manor. From at least the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 18th century, the estate belonged almost exclusively to firstly the Barlee (or Barley) family and then the Bradbury family. The only person outside these two families to own the estate in this period was Robert Chatterton who purchased the estate from William Barley in 1557. He subsequently sold it, in 1580, to Matthew Bradbury (a nephew of Thomas Bradbury - the Sheriff of London in 1498 and the Lord Mayor of London in 1509). The present Wicken Hall dates from the 16th century. It has been much altered since and, at one time, was encircled by a moat. Until comparatively recently, Wicken Hall was a farmhouse but is now purely residential. William Bradbury inherited Wicken Hall from his father, Matthew Bradbury, in 1587 and held the estate for 35 years before, on his death in 1622, it passed to his first son Matthew. In about 1602, William Bradbury built Brick House for his second son Wyman or Wymond. This impressive building stands about one quarter of a mile to the west of the church and bears the arms of the Bradbury family over the front door. Up until the early part of the 18th century Wicken Hall and Brick House were owned by the two branches of the Bradbury family before coming into the common ownership of Joseph Sharpe who married into the Bradbury family. It is interesting to discover that William Bradbury’s two sons, Matthew and Wymond, married daughters of William Whitgift of Clavering, Matthew marrying Janne and Wymond marrying Elizabeth. Thomas, the second son of Wymond and Elizabeth Bradbury, emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1634 and his descendants now regularly visit the village to rediscover their roots. In St. Margaret’s church there are memorials to three children of Anne and Francis Bradbury (a grandson of the Matthew Bradbury who was Wymond’s brother). In fact Anne and Francis had seven children in all and must have expected that one of them would eventually inherit Wicken Hall from them. However not one of the children survived their parents. "

From History of Saco and Biddeford by George Folsom: "The lady of Mr. Maverick was Mary, daughter of Rev. John Wheelwright, whom he married at Boston, 1660. Mr. Wheelwright left Wells about 1647, and settled at Hampton, N.H., the sentence of banishment having been repealed by the General Court on his petition a few years before. He afterwards went to England, where he was in high favor with Cromwell, with whom he had been contemporary at the university. [Cotton Mather's letter to G. Vaughan. iii Belknap. N.H. Appx. I]. After the restoration of Charles II, he returned to this country, and settled at Salisbury, Mass,. where he died Nov. 15, 1679. Samuel Wheelwright of Wells, a justice 1665, was his son. He has numerous descendants in that town and vicinity at the present day." (pg 139)

"They may have remained for a time in Dover, but eventually moved to Kittery, where, on Oct 19,1727, Zebulon Trickey, Samuel Small Jr, Moses Hanscom and John Pugsley, all yeomen of Kittery, purchased of John Waldron, of Dover, for £160, fifty acres "situate & being in the Township of Scarborough ... which was fromerly purchased by Anthony Row of Scarborough afores'd of Mr Henry Jocelyn & by sd Row sold & conveyed to me" (John Waldron); also small tracts of "upland, Salt marsh & Fresh meadow".* Nine months later (Jan. 2, 1728), John Pugsley, still a "husbandman of Kittery," for £55, paid by Samuel Small, of Scarboro, conveyed to him "all those several Tracts Pieces Parcels & Grants of Upland Marsh or Meadow Ground" which he had "purchased of John Waldron of Dover, in partnership" with the others.**
During this year he removed to Scarboro, and he and his wife, Elizabeth, became members of the First Church in Scarboro in 1728, the year it was founded. Their names had previously appeared in a list of members, in full communion, of the Second Church in Kittery, with the note, "removed".*** Elizabeth (Small) Pugsley, while living at Kittery, in 1721, recieved a deed of twenty acres of land, at "Great Hill near Wells Swamp," from her brother, Daniel Small; it being a portion of the land granted in 1671 by the town to her father, Francis Small. It is difficult to trace the children, as the Kittery Records do not contain their births."

Curtis graduated from Bridgton High School in 1964. After graduation he served his country in the U. S. Marine Corps serving two tours in Vietnam and after leaving the service he attended Nason College and the University of Southern Maine. Curtis worked most of his life as a self employed drywall contractor (Grayland Construction) in Tamworth, N.H., and later in Bridgton. He was a member of the Church of Later Day Saints in Oxford, was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed trap and skeet shooting at Western Maine Fish and Game in Harrison and at the Waterford Shooting Club. Curtis was very well read and was a published poet.
He is survived by his soul mate and friend, Nancy Knight of Bridgton; one brother ,John Gray of Wolcott, Conn.; two sisters, Carol of California and Susan of Oakville, Conn.; one uncle, Craig Gray of Stoneham; a foster brother, Brian Spear of Bridgton; and all his Marine Corps Brothers.

Throughout the morning, those who attended the rally signed petitions under one tent and picked up T-shirts in another. Some, such as Curtis Gray of Bridgton, said he attended the rally because he's upset that the Legislature did not send the issue out to voters.

In 1998 and 2000, voters rejected the extension of civil rights to gays and lesbians.

A Vietnam veteran, Gray said politicians have ignored the will of the people.

"I didn't fight (a war) for this," he said.

Besides those mentioned above I have consulted Civil War Records and Federal Census Records at the Maine State Archives; the Brownfield Cemetery Records; the Family Records of Carrie Gray Moses and Fannie Linscott York; and Miss Ruth N. Peckham. There are discrepancies in the birthdate of Anjavine W. Gray. His graves registration card on file at the Maine State Archives list his date of birth at 19 March 1840. His daughter Carries Gray Moses' records list his birthdate as 31 March 1840; and another source lists the date as 29 March 1840." - Hubert Clemons

School Reports. High School
"It has been a year of changes in the High Shcool. Miss Wilson resigned at the close of the school year and Mr. Claude A. Gray of this town was elected to fill her position. Two days before the opening of the fall term Principal Tooker resigned. This occurred at a very unfortunate time for filling the position. It did not seem best to delay the opening of the school, and the term commenced with Mr. Gray temporarily in charge. After attempting vainly for nearly a month to find some other satisfactory candidate, Mr. Gray, who meanwhile had done very well in charge of the school, was elected Principal. Mr. Gray is a graduate of the Bridgton High School and of the University of Maine. This is nearly his first experience in teaching and it is exceedingly gratifying to be able to say that the high standing of the school is being maintained."

[NI02169] According to Charles McKusick in The Descendants of John McKusick and Mary Barker, Magdalen "saw her first husband, Nathaniel Adams, killed during the York Massacre in 1692, and she was forced to march through January snow and cold to Quebec as a captive. Redeemed by relatives paying her ransom to the French, she returned toYork, Me. and later married Elias. She married John Webber in 1709 after Elias' death by Indian hands." (pg 390-391)

[NI02171] birthplace, probably Hampton, NH

[NI02175] According to Charles McKusick in The Descendants of John McKusick and Mary Barker: "He came to Plymouth, MA on the Fortune in 1621, and his wife and two children followed in the Anne in 1622. His letter, published in 1622, is the first by a Plymouth Pilgrim. He bought land at Nantasket, MA, but left in 1624 following a church "row" over the baptism of his daughter, Magdalen, by the Rev. Mr. Lyford who had been sent to Plymouth by the proprietors although not of the Pilgrims. Wiliam sold out and, with his brother, Edward, and Lyford founded Dover, NH. He and the familiy remomved to Kittery, ME after twenty years, and finally, to York, ME, in 1650."

Hilton.‘There are parishes and places so called in many counties and prob. several distinct families. The great baronial race which flourished in the XIV cent. derived their name from the castle of Hulton or Hilton, co. Durham, their ancient seat.’ (Sharp's Hartlepool, p. 167.) The American Hiltons, like the Drakes and the Webbers, have been victims of a ‘missing heir–estate in Chancery’ fraud. The legend went that the last Baron Hilton (of co. Durham) had d. a bachelor and that, as his two brothers, William and Edward, had emigrated, the estate was in Chancery. About 1885 Nathan Hilton, a magistrate of Yarmouth. N. S., collected a fund and hired ‘a woman in London to search the matter out’ (letter of Capt. B. R. Hilton. 1924). This woman, identity unkn., in order to connect the co. Durham family with the two brothers in London and America, must have invented probate records of two estates, ‘Ralph Hilton, 1602,’ and ‘Roger Hilton, 1619.’ Exhaustive searches by Mr. Hassam (1873-4), Col. Banks (1924) and the best professional Col. Banks knew, employed by him when he returned to America, failed to find any trace of ‘Ralph’ and ‘Roger.’ They did, however, find over thirty contemp. records supporting the origin of the American emigrant brothers in Northwich, co. Chester. The baronial pedigree was pub. in the Yarmouth Herald, Mar. 22-29, Apr. 5-12, 1898, and will doubtless charm the credulous for years to come.
§‡*Edward,first permanent settler of N. H., son of William, of Northwich, co. Chester, bro. of (13) and (17), prob. he who was bp. at Northw. (Witton chapelry) 9 June 1596. The record, now prob. illeg., was read ‘son of Richard’ by the vicar in 1920, and ‘son of William’ by a superannuated antiquary some yrs. later. The historian Hubbard's statement that Edward and William(17) were brothers, however, seems unquestionable. Apprent. to Marie, wid. of Charles Hilton of London, he was adm. to the Fishmongers Co. 9 Apr. 1621 (‘nup. apprent. Marie Hilton’–late apprentice of Marie Hilton–a final reading from the original record), and in the subsidy list of the Lond. companies of 1641 ‘In New England’ is marked ag. his name. He likely made a voyage to Piscataqua with trading goods and began a plantation, unrecorded, in 1628, the yr. set by his personal friends and purchasers of his patent for his arrival, and 9 June 1628 when the plantations agreed to send Thomas Morton back to Eng., he contrib. £1. The earliest contemp. rec. of him and Wm.(17) together, either in Eng. or here, are the livery of seisin of his Squamscot patent, dated 12 Mar. 1629-30, wit. by Wm. 7 July 1631 (N. E. Reg. 24.264; N. H. Court Files 21494), the Lewis-Bonython and Vines-Oldham patents at Saco river dated a month earlier, and the petn. of (18) (orig. in Suff. Ct. Files 362). E. H. was evidently back in London, waiting on Sir F. Gorges with Mr. Lewis, when the patents were gr. These doc. empower E. H., gent., to make livery of the two on the Saco, and Mr. Lewis to do the same for Hilton at Squamscot. Whether Hilton came over at once and went back to sell his patent to the Bristol men is quest. See Y. D. i. pt. 2. 9. Godfrey knew and told it best: ‘A Pattent granted to Ed. Hilton, by him sould to merchants of Bristoll they sould it to my Lo: Say and Brokes, they to sume of Shrwsbury’; and confirm. by Winthrop: ‘Pascataquack, which the Lord Say and the Lord Brook had purchased of the Bristol men.’ The patent recited: Hilton's Point lying some two leagues from the mouth of the river, having already at his own cost & charge transplanted sundry servants … where they have already built some houses. Hilton was in control at Dover Neck 4 Dec. 1632 when Winthrop recd. letters from Capt. Neale and W. H. that they had sent 4 vessels and 40 men to protect Pemaquid from Dixie Bull. He contin. the Bristol men's gov. until 10 Oct. 1633, when Capt. Wiggin arr. in Boston to take over the patent for the two Lords. He then set up for himself betw. Dover and Exeter. When Mass. stepped in, the Gen. [p.332] Ct. in Oct. 1641 ordered that Francis Williams and E. H., with two magistrates from Boston, should constitute the County Ct., and he was named again in 1642. In 1652 Exeter voted that he go with Mr. Dudley to the Gen. Ct. to assist him. Cf. Prov. Papers i. 306. Selectman, Exeter, 1645, 1646, 1651. When Charles II came in, Hilton prov. to be a strong loyalist, and in 1665 was arrested for sedition. Lists 241, 375b, 376ab, 377-379, 47, 383, 384a.

But there is Y. D. 16.259, 7 Feb. 1733-4: Samuel Annis of Marbleh., fisherman, and w. Avis, quitel. mtge. of ¼ of all eastern land claims in York or elsewhere of ‘our fa. John Hilton late of Boston, dyer or clothier.’ This vague deed is suggestive of fraud. Marbleh. and Glouc. were ablaze at that time with the money being made by forged deeds at Muscongus. If S. Annis of Marbleh. was s. of S. Annis of Glouc., and [p.333] if the Snellings, Tuckers and Martins of the two towns were related, we must ignore the deed as a swindle. Samuel Annis and wife were hired by Samuel Martin of Muscongus to live there with William Hilton(21) 7 or 8 yrs. See Hilton(21), Brown(15, 17), Chamblet, Fulford, Dennen. See Col.

[NI02179] According to Charles McKusick in The Descendants of John McKusick and Mary Barker: "A planter at York, Me, he had twenty acres of land laid out on 19 July 1645. He was mayor there in 1643-1644. He was an assistant to the court held at Mr. Gullison's on 7 Nov 1652, and he took the oath of allegiance to Massachusetts along with others on 22 Nov 1652 when Massachusetts gained sovereignty over Maine. He sold a parcel of land on 7 May 1664. He was prominent in the early affairs of York, ME, and the colony. He was killed by Indians in the York Massacre of 1692. Married first in England, he married second, Elizabeth Curtis and, third, Elizabeth Alcock."

He was a juror in 1647. He submitted to the Massachusetts government and was appointed a sergeant on 22 Nov 1652. He bought land at Cape Neddick on 16 July 1650. His interesting note, attesting to his position and wealth, is that his servant, John Smith, ran away and was returned by court order on 9 Sept 1640. The name is also found as Allcock, Allcocke, and Alcott."

[NI02270] THE DEVIL VISITS STANSGATE PRIORY
Cluniac Priory was established in the 12th century at Stansgate, Steeple.
The farmer was ploughing the field next to the old Priory when he spoke out loud that the Devil could have his soul if he would do the ploughing. The Devil then appeared and took the plough. The frightened farmer ran to the priory church with the devil in hot pursuit. As the farmer entered the church the devil made a lunge just missing thefarmer.
According to legend markscould be seen on the stone building that were reputed to be the devil.
The priory was demolishedby the landowner in 1923 although the field in question was not again ploughed until 1946 as successive farmers were worried by the legend.
The land in question is now owned by Anthony Wedgewood-Benn the celebrated MP.

Sonja Evangeline (Olsen) Hall
SOUTH PORTLAND -- Sonja Evangeline (Olsen) Hall, born the fourth child of Norman and Dorothy Mae (Doughty) Olsen, Feb. 6, 1934, in Cape Elizabeth. She attended Cape Schools and graduated from Cape Elizabeth High School in 1952.
She married Donald I. Hall Sr. on May 16, 1953. He predeceased her in 1974 and is interred in North Yarmouth Maine at Pine Grove Cemetery. Also predeceased by her brother Norman Olsen, sister Dorothy Harriman, and grandson Joshua Dalphonse. She is survived by daughters Ilona Dalphonse and husband Dennis of South Portland, Loletta Heath and husband Dana of Richmond, Althea Hall, Lisa Grimaldi, both of Portland and Donald I. Hall Jr. and wife Sarah of Chelsea. She is also survived by her sisters Elaine Gordon and husband Kenwood of Cape Elizabeth and Martha Conard of Richmond. She has 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, Daun Rocha of Portland, Mollie Collins and husband Casey, their children Devin and Noah all of Portland, Camilla Dubail and husband Peter and their children Natalie and Adam of Gray, Evangeline and Shawn Austin and their children, Elijah, Brynne, and Kiara of Augusta, Marjorie Emma Heath and husband Mark Charlton of Portland, Megan Grooms and her husband AJ of North Carolina, Christopher and Erin Hall of Randolf, Tiffany and Dominic Inchcombe of Chelsea.
Sonja was a fiercely independent woman. She grew up in Cape Elizabeth and lived as a Mainer did. She often went out on the water and aided her father in lobstering. After graduating from Cape Elizabeth High she went to Husson college where she then met her future husband Donald I. Hall Sr. After marrying she worked in the cloths pin factory in Portland. After giving birth to their eldest daughter Ilona, due to her husbands health they moved to Florida. Where they had three more children, Loletta, Althea, and Donald. As a family they liked to travel, and camp. On several occasions they would take vacations at nudist colonies in Maine and Florida. Just before her husbands death in 1974 it snowed in Georgia because he wanted to see the
Sonja Evangeline (Olsen) Hall
snow one last time. She packed up the entire family and drove to Georgia to see the snow.
Living in Florida after her husband death, she became a donut finisher for Krispy Kreme Donuts. Deciding to be close to the rest of her family she moved back to Maine, living across the street from her sister in Richmond. There, she then worked in the shoe factory in Richmond, until it's closing. Deciding to go back to school to help others she became a CNA. She then worked for Amenity Manor in Thompson and St. Joseph's Manor in Portland.
In and around her life she did many eclectic things; she loved to read, do crosswords, knit, crochet and paint pictures. She also played the accordion and did a variety of other arts and crafts. Working with her sister Martha, they built floats for the Richmond Days parade, winning awards. In 1984 she bought herself a motorcycle, in which her and her sister Elaine would ride all over Maine. At age 54 Sonja got herself a tattoo of a honey bee on her shoulder to symbolize the affectionately given name to her and her husband by a boss of theirs, Mr. and Mrs. Honeybee, this is now they continued to sign their cards to each other.
At the age of 60 she decided she was going to bungee jump over the Kennebec river. In her later years Sonja then moved to Portland to live with her eldest granddaughter Daun. In June of 2007 she moved to the Ceders Nursing Home, where she passed peacefully at the age of 73. Ever the independent she lived and loved the way she wanted to and expected others to do the same.
Visiting hours will be held 4-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, at the Hobbs Funeral Home, 230 Cottage Rd., South Portland, where a funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27. Burial at Riverside Cemetery Cape Elizabeth.

[NI02555] "William Sears, born in 1733, signed his deeds as a cooper, but he had evidently been a sea captain. He had a family of grown-up children, and considerable money to invest, when he arrived in Bridgton "about the year 1789" , according to Cram. He bought considerable Bridgton land, including some Asa Kimball had owned, and two or more outlying farms which he gave to his daughters. He built perhaps the largest and best-finished house in town on land that is now Herbert Chalmer's lawn. This became the first tavern south of Kimball's at the West Cove in North Bridgton. Later he bought all of Asa Kimball's holdings and built a grist mill where the Saunder's dowel mill now stands. He probably operated the saw mill and the grist mill and maintained an inn and perhaps a store of sorts, all of which promoted the growth of the Center Village."(pg29)

"If one could call the roll of all the businessmen who have operated in locations up and down Maine Street, they would emerge as men who envisioned great possibilities and worked laboriously to realize their dreams. The first of these men of whom there is any record is William Sears. He came from Beverly, Massachusetts, and in 1789 built a tavern, with a connecting store and livery stable, on the site where Herbert Chalmer's residence now stands. He must have been farsighted, for he shortly obtained title to much of the desirable real estate in the Center. Part of it he deeded to his daughter Elizabeth, who had married Abner Dodge of Beverly. They built their home in 1790 where the Edgar John's residence (formerly The Bridgton House) now stands at the head of Main Hill. (pg34)..... Before William Sears and his son Joseph sold the remainder of their holdings to William Emerson, and he to Richard Gage, they had transferred to many other incoming families clear titles to their homes. They had also sold locations for a wide variety of businesses: stores, hotel, harness and carriage shops, wheelwright and blacksmith shops, cobbler and machine shops, a printing plant and livery stables, as well as mills and tanneries."

[NI02621] "In a will dated 3 Mar 1681/2, signed by Walter Hatch, son of Elder William, 4 Mar 1681/2, but never proved, Walter Hatch gives his age as '59 yeares', and therefore he was born about 1623. In August 1643 Walter Hatch is on the list of those able to bear arms, that is, he was then at least 16 years of age. In the will of his father, dated 5 Nov. 1651, Walter Hatch is named before his brother William. In the division of the personal estate of his father he signs first, and the document is in his handwriting. In various other documents in which he is named with his only surviving brother, William, he is always named first. Walter, therefore must have been the eldest son of Elder William, and the child of a marriage contracted earlier than 1624" (French 258). Source: footnote 7. from Thomas and William Hatch of Scituate by Hooley 1998. online.

[NI02627] From footnote 44 in Thomas and William Hatch of Scituate: French, 257.

" Hannah, daughter of Widow Hatch bp 14 June 1646" (Scituate Vital Statistics to the year 1850, 1:173, Births).

[NI02631] "Little is known about Mary. Perhaps this daughter of Thomas and Lydia was not even named Mary. Savage wrote that Daniel Pryor was married to 'Mary and his son was the grandson of Lydia Hatch Spring. Mary was probably born about 1631 in co. Kent, England, and married Daniel Pryor before 1656 when their son, Daniel, was baptized. There is a baptism record in the Second Church of Scituate for Daniel Pryor of 6 July 1656 where he is called "Daniel grandchild to our sister Spring, and sonne to Daniel Pryor." Mary probably died before her son was baptized as it was not unusual a grandparent to stand in at baptisms for a deceased parent."

Hoping someone has information on the death of Isaac Poole who settled in Bristol, Lincoln, Maine. Born in 1739, the son of John and Jemima [Elwell] Poole, he married Olive Cleveland. Olive lived to the age of 96 and died in Bristol. No one seems to have any record of Isaac's death though.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

[NI03673] 1d. TIPS FROM READERS.
Unusual Given Name Has Ancient History
By Carl Hommel chommel6@comcast.net

I have noted on some mailing lists mention of the given name of
Benoni. This is an unusual name, and some people think that it is an
Italian family name and the child is named after his or her mother's
family and then indicate that they have been unable to find a family
with that surname.

Actually Benoni is a Biblical name that means "son of my sorrow."
It was the original name given to the younger son of the patriarch
Jacob. Rachel, his mother, in her dying agony named the child Benoni.
(Genesis 35:18).

This name was often given in American Colonial times to a child whose
mother died in childbirth or whose father died before the child was
born. In fact, this is an important clue. When one sees the name Benoni,
look to see what sad event might have caused the child to be given that
name. It might have been the death of a grandparent, a parent or a
sibling.

One Line of Descendants from Dolar Davis and Richard Everett


The writer has taken the liberty to present largely the main facts contained in the narrative of Dolor1 Davis, his son Samuel2 Davis, and grandson Lieut. Simon3 Davis, as given in the pamphlet of Hon. Horace Davis of San Francisco, Cal., in 1881.

The career of Dolor Davis, in New England, is that of a pioneer who by his energy and industry in subduing the wilderness was a type of those enduring qualities which distinguished his descendants in later generations. By trade he was a house-builder, added to which was farming.

Dolor Davis was born late in the sixteenth century, for he died in dune, 1673, "at the ripe age of 80," says one chronicler. His birthplace was probably in Kent County, England. His wife was from Kent, his associates in New England were largely with Kentish men, and the name of Dams is very common in Kent County.

Dolor Davis was twice married, first to "Margerye Wilerd" on March 29, 1624. She was the daughter of Richard Willard, "by second wife Margery," who was buried at Horsmonden, Dec., 1608, when Margery, the daughter, was six years old; for she was christened Nov. 7, 1602. Richard Willard was of Horsmonden, County of Kent. He died 1617, leaving a large estate, mostly in lands, part of which came to his daughter Margery Willard and another part to the son, Simon Willard, who was later the founder of Concord, in New England.

The first record we have of Dolor Davis, in New England, is on the Proprietors' Records in Cambridge [New Towne], of a grant of twenty-five acres on Aug. 4, 1634; also a house-lot, June 4, 1635. The wife Margery is supposed to be the "Margerett Davies, age 32, who with three children, John Davies (9 years old), Marie Davies (4), Elizabeth Davies (1), sailed on the Elizabeth, from the port of London, April 17, 1635, Win. Stagg, master." There is much uncertainty about Dolor Davis and family ever having had a residence in Cambridge. He sold the above-named house-lot in August, 1635. He moved, with considerable persistence, from place to place during nearly all of his life, possibly because this frequent change in residence gave him a better opportunity to pursue his trade as a carpenter.

In 1638 he was in Duxbury. In 1640 he took part in founding Barnstable. In 1643 he was an inhabitant of Barnstable, "able to bear arms"; freeman 1645. In 1655 he removed to Concord. In the same year he petitioned with others to the General Court of Massachusetts Colony for a grant of land in what is now Groton, Mass., and on the 29th of May was made one of the new selectmen. In 1656 his name appears on a petition for remission of taxes in Groton; but he seems never to have made Groton his home, for on Aug. 020, 1655, "he bought of Roger Draper his house and farm in Concord." In the conveyance he is called "Husbandman." Meanwhile he sold his property in Barnstable for "corn and cattle," the documents recording the various payments and the transfer itself being in the Plymouth Records. In them he is styled "house-carpenter." Margery Davis joined in the acknowledgment, which is the last record we have of her. She probably died in Concord before 1666, in which year Davis left Concord. Dolor Davis had lands granted to him in Concord in 1659, and in 1664 he signed a petition to the General Court as "an inhabitant of Concord."

Of the three children brought over from England, John and Mary were married and settled on the Cape, Elizabeth probably died young. Three more children were born in America, and they, too, were married and settled, but in or near Concord.

In 1666 Davis left Concord and returned to Barnstable, and was again admitted as an inhabitant, where his name appears on various documents. He married, after his return to Barnstable, Mrs. Joanna Bursley, born in England, 169.0, daughter of Rev. Joseph Hull and widow of Capt.John Bursley. She was living in 1683. Dolor Davis accumulated a large property for those times, which he distributed mostly among his children during his lifetime. On the 13th of September, 167'2, he made his will, which has his autograph signature, showing that he had some education. He always wrote his Christian name DOLAR. The will was proved July 2, 167'3. He probably died late in June.

The will recites that he has already provided for his sons Simon and Samuel; and then he bequeaths his house and land in Concord to his son John, adding, "I also bequeath to him my carpenters tools and serge suit and cloke." The inventory of estate in Concord was "£125 5s. 7'd." That he made a favorable impression on others is shown by the following:

"Perhaps of all the families which came to New England, not one can be selected more worthy of our esteem, and unqualified approbation than that of Dolor Davis. As a man he was honest, industrious and prudent; as a christian tolerant and exact in the performance of his religious duties; as a neighbor kind, obliging, and ever ready to help those who needed his assistance; and as a father and the head of his family he was constantly solicitous for the welfare of all its members, cultivating those kindly feelings and amenities of life which render home delightful." (Amos Otis, in Barnstable Families.)

Samuel 2 Davis, b. 1639; m. at Lynn, Mass., Jan. 11, 1665, Mary Meaddows; settled in that part of Concord which afterwards was set off as Bedford. Mary [Meaddows] Davis d. at Concord, Oct. 3, 1710. He m. second, Oct. 18, 1711, Ruth Taylor. She d. Aug. 6, 1720. He was the father of seven children.

Samuel Davis was made freeman March 91, 1689-90. He was with Major Simon Willard at the Brookfield fight on Sept. 28, 167'5. (King Philip's War, p. 121.)

His farm was on the back road from Concord to Bedford, about three miles from Concord town, on the edge of the river meadow. A well is there which he is said to have dug. The property is still owned by one of his descendants. He does not appear to have served in civil life.

June 90, 1690, petitioned Concord authorities for "a bridal path from his house to Billerica road." In 1706 conveys houses and lands to his "two well beloved sons." On May 8, 1713, he sells house, barn, and 9 acres to Eleazer Davis for £50. His signature is autograph, signing himself as "farmer." The date of his death and place of burial are unknown. It appears that he gave his property to his family while living.

Simon3 Davis, b. at Concord, Aug. 9, 1683; m. at Stow, Mass., 1719, Dorothy Heald,

dau. of Israel Heald by wife Martha. He lived in Stow, and was a blacksmith; d. Sept. 7, 1738, aged 78. His will is on record at East Cambridge, and mentions daughter Dorothy Davis and grandson Joseph Davis. Wid. Martha d. June 14, 1746.

"Lieut." Simon Davis lived at Concord until about 1721, when he moved to Worcester County, and settled in Rutland; selectman 1721; innkeeper 1723; waylaid and nearly killed by the Indians in the same year. Petitions with others to the General Court on May 13, 1740, to be set off in a separate township to be named Holden. This request was granted, and Mr. Davis was made moderator of the first town meeting in Holden, May 4, 1745; chairman of board of selectmen for several years; also juryman. He was closely identified with the church. He d. Feb. 21, 1763; wid. Dorothy d. July 21, 1776. Eight children. He was the ancestor of three Massachusetts governors: "Honest" John Davis, John Davis Long, and George D. Robinson.

The ancestry of Hon. Horace Davis separates here from my own.

Joseph4 Davis, b. at Concord, July 16, 1790; m. at Weston, May 24, 1743, Catherine Jones. Joseph Davis was grad. Harv. Coll. 1740. He was the first ordained minister at Holden, preaching from 1743 to 1'773. He was a representative to the General Court of Massachusetts 1'781; a member of the convention held in Boston, 1'788, for the ratification of the Federal Constitution by Massachusetts. He d. at Holden, March 4, 1'799; wid. Catherine d. May 15, 1815. From his monument:

"He was a man of science,
A zealous, pungent preacher."

Simon5 Davis, b. at Holden, March 10, 1745; m. at Andover, Mass., June 2, 1771, Elizabeth Clarke.

Simon Davis first of Holden, then of Andover, had the pioneer spirit of his ancestors. Soon after his marriage he moved with his friends into the wilderness, and became one of the first settlers in what is now Woodstock, Vt. Here he built a log house, in which his children were born. He was the first deacon in the newly organized church, and, being a man of education, he also organized a school board, and was himself the head of it. He had several grants in land; was selectman and juror; prudent and industrious, adding to farming the trade of Dolor1 Davis, that of housebuilding. He built and owned the first mill for grinding corn and the first saw-mill in Woodstock.

My father, his grandson, had the facts relating to Simon3 Davis recorded in a note-book, with his descendants.

They had seven children: John, Simon, and Abner settled in Illinois, and were men of influence; William and Gilman Davis removed to Boston, where the youngest son, Gilman, married Sarah Tuttle of Dorchester, and had his home in Cambridge.

They had three daughters.

Simon Davis d. at Woodstock, Jan. 17, 1793; his wid. Elizabeth d. at Boston, March 11, 1816.

William s Davis, b. at Woodstock, Vt., Feb. 2, 1'789; m. at Waitsfield, Vt., March 9, 1815, Sarah Gilbert Wait.

Mr. Davis moved to Boston, where his life was uneventful. He was one of the leading building contractors in the city. Both he and his wife were deeply interested in the Baptist church and in their pastor, Rev. Dr. Rowland Neal. Dr. Neal preached the funeral sermon for William Davis in the church on Jan. 10, 1880. The son remembered the text, "In my Father's house are many mansions." The body was interred in the basement of the church. Mr. Davis was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He accumulated a good property. Of his children six died young. Three children survived, the son, Almon Hemenway Davis, and two daughters, Martha Jane and Phidelia Davis, who married Eben Jones Mathes of Rochester, N.H.

Almon Hemenway' Davis, b. at Boston, April 12, 1816; m. at Dedham, Mass., June 2, 1844, Elizabeth Everett.

Mr. Davis was liberally educated. He had a rare combination of gifts. Not only was he a fine classical student, but he was also a mathematician of unusual excellence. It was at the Baptist Theological School, at Newton Centre, that he was suddenly called upon to teach Greek and Hebrew; in such an acceptable manner that he was urged to become a professor instead of entering the ministry, so admirable was his teaching. He had three parishes. Of the last two, one in Providence, R.I., and one in Boston. He left the ministry in 1851 to become an editor. In 1866 he received a call to become associated, on the editorial sheet of the Chicago Tribune, with his personal friend, Joseph Medill, Esq.

Mr. Davis d. in Chicago, Ill., Oct. 20, 1891; wid. Elizabeth d. in California, Dec. 6, 1904.

[NI04351] From History of Bridgton 1768 - 1968: " Beyond the Trailer Camp road is the Sylvester barn, an old landmark. The house was taken down in 1926. This location is, next to Jacob Stevens' site, probably the oldest one in Kansas. The original grant of land was of many acres, extending from Long Pond to Otter Pond, and from Sucker Brook to the Naples line. Amasa Sylvester, his wife Polly, and their two children, came from Fitchburg, Mass., in 1826. They came to Bridgton with an ox team. The story is that it took them three months to cut their way through the forests; the family slept under the cart at night. The house they built here was farther up on Packard's Hill. When Polly died February 16, 1885, she had lived there 65 years. Her daughter Roxanna married George Packard and they lived with her.
Amas's son, Aaron Sylvester, built his home down near the present barn. As one of his daughters, Nellie Graeb, said: "No one ever owned our land except the Indians, the Massachusetts Government and the Sylvesters." Aaron's descendants now live on it."

[NI04823] Elmer H. 'Bunk' Martin, 91


STANDISH - Elmer H. 'Bunk' Martin, 91, formerly of Sebago and currently residing in Standish, died on Dec. 29, 2003, while a patient in the Barron Center in Portland.

The son of Alison I. and LenDora Crawford Martin, Mr. Martin was born August 18, 1912 in Sebago. He attended Sebago schools and graduated from Potter Academy in 1931.

Mr. Martin spent most of his adult life in his home town of Sebago, with but brief visits to other areas. He loved hunting and fishing and participated in both during his entire life. He took great pride in teaching others the ins and outs of salmon fishing, trout fishing and the habits of the white tailed deer. He was eager and willing to pass on his knowledge to anyone who asked. He would be the first to tell you that he never passed up a chance to 'wet a line' and he was always ready to show a youngster how to do it properly.

'Bunk' Martin worked in the ship yards on the Maine coast during World War II and spent many years as a mechanic at new car dealerships in the greater Portland and Sebago Lake area. He was a jack of all trades and a true master of many. He built cottages and boats all over the East Sebago area and acted as a guide to many out of state hunters and famous people who vacationed on Sebago during the twentieth century. As a result of these interactions, Elmer became locally famous for his stories about life and times in Sebago. One of the famous people Elmer met and one of his favorites was the comedian Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame. Mr. Laurel was a guest several times at the West Shore Inn on Sebago and on each occasion he requested that Bunk Martin take him fishing. Bunk used to say that old Stan, as he called him, was quite a fisherman. During those trips out on the waters of Sebago, Stan Laurel shared with Bunk many stories of the Hollywood personalities of their time. Bunk recalled later that he thought old Stan was a down to earth guy with a great sense of humor and a real pleasure to be around.

Mr. Martin also worked as a deputy Sheriff in Cumberland County and as a bridge man for the State of Maine until his retirement. He worked the bridge on the causeway in Naples for many years and on the old 'million dollar bridge' between Portland and South Portland. He still found the time, however, to keep the wooden boats floating and the buildings in good repair at Camp Oatka in North Sebago.

Elmer is survived by his wife of 64 years, May H. Richardson. He is also survived by son, Chester A. Martin and wife Joan of Sebago; daughters, Diana Letellier and husband Fern of Sebago, Elizabeth Holland of Baldwin, Dorothy Peters and husband Michael of Dixfield and Sue A. Sorensen and husband Robert of Santa Maria, Calif.; 19 grandchildren; 34 great -grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson.

A public memorial service will be held at the Richville Chapel, Route 114, Standish on Saturday, January 10, at 11 a.m. Anyone wishing to attend this service is welcome.

[NI05942] From Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth. Chapter 1 - The Pioneers of Wescustogo 1635-1678 pg 12-13:

"Although the arrival of George Felt at Broad Cove has been said to have marked "the birthday of North Yarmouth" and he was long regarded as our first permanent settler, facts that a more diligent search of the records have brought to light have deposed him from this high seat and given that honor to William Royall. Felt, or Felch as the name was originally written, was living in Charlestown as early as 1633. He was born in England in 1601 and tradition relates that he came to America with Endicott. His wife was Elizabeth, the daughter of the Widow Prudence Wilkinson. In what is now the city of Malden he had, in 1638, quite a respectable property and herer resided with his wife and their children, George, Elizabeth, Mary and Moses. In 1640, as has been related, Felt became a land-holder at Wescustogo by the purchase from John Phillips of three hundred acres of land on the western side of the brook that has since borne his name at Broad Cove. His title to this he strengthened three years later by obtaining a deed from Gorges's agent, Richard Vines. Corey, the historian of Malden, regards Felt as an Indian trader rather than a settler during these first years. While he was thus engaged at Broad Cove, Felt's wife and young family remained at Malden, he retaining his home there until some time after 1664 when he and the family seem to have taken up their residence at Wescustogo. In 1670 he added to his possessions here by a further purchase from John Phillips of two thousand acres of land adjoining his first three hundred paying therefor sixty pounds. With the help of his sons he carried on his trading and farming enterprises until driven away by the Indian war George, his eldest son, married in 1662 Philippe Andrews, the daughter of Samuel and Jane Andrews. Jane, the mother, subsequently married Arthur Macworth, one of the most substantial settlers of Casco Bay. To George she deeded, in 1670, one hundred acres of land near Mussel Cove and this he increased by large purchases from the Indians and subsequent grants on the Presumpscot River on Lower Clapboard and Little Chebeague. When the Indian war broke out he was among those who fled for refuge to House Island and was killed in September, 1676, with all of his companions in a gallant but forlorn attempt to save their property on Peak's Island. After peace had come in 1678, the pioneer George Felt is supposed to have returned to his possessions at Broad Cove but he was now an old man and remained but a short time. A portion of his land he sold in 1680 to Walter Gendall, the remainder, to his son Moses and his grandson George. Ere this, he had returned with his wife Elizabeth to Malden, for in May, 1681, on the petition of James Nichols, Sr., Felt's son-in-law, the husband of his daughter Mary, the General Court ordered that "George Felt and his wife be accounted inhabitants of the town of Malden and accordingly the selectmen of the town do take care of them."
The aged couple thus became objects of charity remaining in these circumstances until their deaths, that of Felt occurring in 1693 when he was ninety-two years of age while Goodwife Elizabeth survived him but one year."

America's First Families
Ancestor Roll Of Honor

THOMAS THAYER
BRAINTREE, MA
(c1596-1665)

Thomas THAYER, son of Richard THAYER, was christened 16 Aug 1596 at Thornbury, Gloucestershire, England. Thomas died 2 June 1665 in Braintree, MA. He married Margery WHEELER 13 April 1618 at Thornbury, England. She was born 25 April 1600 at Thornbury, England, the daughter of Abel WHEELER and Jane SHEPHARD. Margery died 13 Feb 1672/73 in Braintree, MA.

The immigrant Thomas THAYER is the progenitor of the largest of the three branches of the THAYER Family of America. Well over 20,000 of his descendants are followed in my publication entitled A Comprehensive Genealogy of the Thayer Family of America. Thomas THAYER first appears in the records in America on 24 Feb 1639/40 when he was granted land at Mt. Wollaston (now Braintree) MA for his family of 9 heads for "40 acres more, there being in all 76 acres upon the same covenant of the three shillings per acre."

There has been much speculation concerning the exact year of immigration for Thomas THAYER. Some say as early as 1630, others as late as 1645--which was most certainly too late. In 1994, Raymond Alexander ("Rick") THAYER, TFA secretary, called the New England Historic Genealogical Society to ask about a list of possible ships which may have transported the THAYER immigrants to the Colonies. He spoke with Dave Dearborn, who was referred as an expert on the subject and was surprised to learn that the only entry ever given and available there was the name of the Captain of the ship John DRIVER, which brought Thomas to the Port of Boston, having left Weymouth, England in 1637. Evidently this was in reference to the goods which Thomas shipped from the Port of Weymouth on 22 April 1637 on the ship Speedwell. It is my understanding that the "names of the passengers were not recorded unless they also happened to be exporting dutiable goods, though some exceptions are to be found to this practice."(Genealogical Gleanings in England Passenger and Ships to America 1618-1668, by Peter Wilson Coldham.)

When Rick called NEHGS once again in 1995, he spoke with Mr. Dearborn's Assistant, Jerry Anderson, and was informed that there, were two recorded sailing vessels in the period between 1607 and 1670 with the THAYER name; one, the "Blessing" captained by John DEVINE, which evidently brought Thomas to Boston Harbor on 8 April 1637(The Complete Book of Immigrants, Volume I, 1607-1670, by Peter Wilson Coldham); the other was the "Speedwell" which followed shortly thereafter and carried Thomas' goods.

Thomas THAYER was a shoemaker, as can be seen by his will, dated 21 June 1664. This has been published in full in the 1835 THAYER Memorial by Dr. Elisha THAYER and elsewhere. Birth; Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Thornbury, Gloucester, England parish register, "Thomas TAYER," Godfathers were Thomas GIBBS and William DIMERY. Marriage; Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Thornbury, Gloucester, England parish register.

The Children of Thomas THAYER and Margery WHEELER were.
1. Urusla, christened 18 Nov 1619 at Thornbury, Gloucester, England, d. 13 Dec 1619 at Thornbury
2. Welfery, christened 20 May 1621 at Thornbury, d. 10 July 1621 at Thornbury.
3. Thomas, christened 15 Sept 1622, d. 9 Aug 1692/93.
4. Ferdinando, christened 18 April 1625, d. 28 March 1712.
5. Urusla, christened 8 Oct 1626 at Thornbury, d. 2 May 1627 at Thornbury.
6. Child THAYER, b. 1627 at Thornbury, d. 3 Dec 1627 at Thornbury.
7. Shadrach, christened 9 May 1629, d. 19 Oct 1678.
8. Mary, b. 24 June 1630 at Thornbury
9. Child THAYER, b. 1632 at Thornbury, d. 1632 at Thornbury.

Mabelle C. Dodge
2000-05-25


Mabelle C. Dodge Mabelle Coffin (Connors) Dodge, 86, of East Boothbay, died Monday, May 22 at Maine Medical Center in Portland.

Born October 6, 1913 at Machiasport, she was one of 15 children of Alonzo Anthony Connors and Mina Faustina (Gray) Connors. Mrs. Dodge's father was a lighthouse keeper serving on Petit Manan, Two Bush and Ram islands. When she was 12 years old, her father settled the family in Boothbay Harbor where she attended schools; still spending summers on Ram Island Light.

In 1931 she married Alfred S. Dodge Jr. of East Boothbay, and moved there to raise a family. They met in the summer of 1930 while Alfred (Duna) was working with his father to build the famous stone house of Rev. John Wilson on Fisherman's Island. In carrying the stone from Ocean Point to the island, the route was through the narrow strait between Ram and Fisherman's islands which allowed Duna and Mabelle to meet. Her husband died in 1972. Mrs. Dodge kept a home in East Boothbay for nearly 70 years where she was a loving wife and mother and active member of the community. Her main interests were the East Boothbay Methodist Church and its support organizations. Survivors include a son and daughter-in-law, Arthur I. and Elizabeth Locke Dodge of Harpswell; sons, Alfred S. Dodge III and William S. Dodge of East Boothbay; and a grandson, Andrew Ian Dodge of Harpswell. She is also survived by the widow of her son, Albert, who predeceased her, Maryls Jacobson Dodge of Wakefield, Mass.; and her brothers, Russell Connors of Thomaston and Jack Connors of Taylor, Texas; and many nieces and nephews; and family members of East Boothbay Methodist Church.

Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, May 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Simmons, Harrington & Hall Funeral Home in Boothbay. Funeral services will be held on Friday, May 26 at the East Boothbay Methodist Church at 2 p.m. Arrangements are being made by Simmons, Harrington & Hall Funeral Home in Boothbay. In lieu of flowers, mourners may make a donation to the East Boothbay Methodist Church in her memory.

The twins attended grade school in East Boothbay and graduated from Boothbay Harbor High School in 1953. They entered the U.S. Army and served as helicopter mechanics in Germany during the occupation. They were discharged from the army after three years and enrolled at Emery-Riddle School of Aviation, graduating in 1959.

How be ye? Been a long time since I had the chance to browse
Exiles. My son, Tom Burgess, recently visited Maine. Went
to the Fryeburg Fair together with my brother,
Curtis Gray. My daughter, Donna Burgess, also attended with
her sons. Tom sent me oodles of digital images of the farm
we operated as a riding stable in Baldwin, as well as the
fair, and covered bridge, plus relatives, etc. Makes me so
homesick. I am hoping to be able to visit late next Spring
(after the mud season) and catch up on some visiting.

We have a nice ranch (almost 3 acres) which will soon be
agriculture, as we will plant bare root Pilgrim Peach
Bushes in January. I have many adventures that I have
written
down, some have been published in local magazines, as well
as a pastel painting of The Shadow Ryder, a self-portrait of
sorts of myself and my Arab mare, Angel. Anyway,
think I am getting long winded, sort-of.

"Lastly there are the English Todds, who have come to this country by way of England, where they have been known at least, so far back as the eleventh century. Upon their entrance into England some of the Todds seem to have retained their Scotch name, while others exchanged it for its English equivalent."
"The second family sprung from John Todd, who came to Charleston, Massachusetts, in 1637, and two years later settled in Rowley, Mass. His antecedents are not yet discovered except that he came from Yorkshire. The Rowley Todds are found in Massachusetts, Vermont and the West and have furnished a general in the Revolutionary army and many men of ability and distinction."
"This huge dataset depicts the descent from Christopher Todd (1637-1919), being an effort to give an account, as full as possible of his descendants in America.

"Tod is the Scotch word for fox. In Scotland and the north of England a todhunter is a fox hunter. The name Todd is an altered form of the Scotch word tod. The shorter form of the name is therefore the original and correct one. The doubling of the final letter is a corruption. But at the present time everywhere unless in Scotland and perhaps even there too, the corrupt form is the more common one. "

He was a fish-packer and cooper by trade, and owned his own place of business on the water front in Charlestown. If the supposition that he was born in St. Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales, is correct, his choice of occupation is easily accounted for, as St. Davids depended entirely upon its fishing for the support of its population. In 1657 he removed to Newbury and became a farmer. The records of Charlestown show that "James Mirick, the cooper, and Margaret, his wife, sold house and lot in Charlestown to John Andrews". The same records state that in 1676 "James Mirick, aged 52 years in 1664, deeded to his son James, in Newbury, lands situated in Newbury." The date of his death is not found in the records, but he died before his wife, who died in Newbury, April 2, 1708."

Arthur H. Barton, 71
DENMARK -- Arthur H. Barton, 71, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2006. His long and courageous battle with cancer ended at his home surrounded by the people he loved.
Arthur and his twin brother Alfred were born in Denmark on Feb. 10, 1935, to Crystal (Dunn) Barton and Robert Barton. Arthur graduated from Fryeburg Academy and the University of Maine.
Arthur married his love, Anne Sanborn on April 27, 1957. Together, they built a beautiful home on Moose Pond and raised two loving children, Kimberly and Kelli. Growing up, many of the neighborhood children knew they had a second, loving home at Anne and Art's house.
Arthur had three grandchildren, Matthew, Taylor, and Stephen that he doted on and adored. They have grown up enjoying their time with their grandfather at their home away from home.
He dedicated his professional life to education, serving as a teacher and school administrator for over 30 years, most recently at Bonny Eagle High School. Arthur was a mentor to many and shaped a whole generation of teachers who passed through Bonny Eagle. Even during his retirement years, he continued to serve the educational community by creating and running an adult education program for SAD 72.
Arthur was an artist. Whether he was in a studio, woodshop, or garden, he could create something beautiful. Arthur's paintings have been widely collected and he was happy to donate a number of paintings to charity auctions. His other hobbies included reading, sailing with his close friend Jack, and collecting.
Arthur will be dearly missed by his wife Anne; two daughters, Kimberly Newton of Denmark and Kelli Caiazzo of Portland; three grandchildren, Matthew Caiazzo, Taylor Newton, and Stephen Caiazzo; a sister, Alice Graffam of Denmark; and two sons-in-law, Robert Newton and Mark Caiazzo.

[NI10194] John was a mariner and was a descendant of the noble house of Marr whose name he assumed upon coming to America in 1717. He was first known as John de Mar, but then changed his name to John Marr.(1)

This belief prompted a number of John's descendants (mostly descendants of Dennis) to form an organization to recover the Mar estates and wealth in Scotland thinking they were dealing with an estate worth $80 million. On 24 Apr. 1833 they all signed a document giving their lawyer Arthur McArthur $20,000 to begin the legal chase. Over the next 40 years they spent an additional $50,000 to try to prove their claim and all of this in 19th century dollars! Unfortunately they lost their case due to misconceptions, poor home work and bad advise. All of this activity alerted the Erskine heirs in Scotland who were fighting among themselves for the title. The birth of John Erskine alias Marr was recorded in Llangattock-vivon-Abel near Hilston Park and the village of Newcastle, but during the 1840's the records of this parish mysteriously disappeared. John Marr of Rochester, NY, a lifetime student of Marr genealogy wrote in 1903 that: "I have never heard in all my eighty years of life any doubt expressed that John of Kittery was other than the son of John Erskine, Earl of Mar."(2)

Who is that Cloaked Man?
Roger Conant
1592 to 1679

According to records, Roger Conant was baptized in East Budleigh, Devonshire, England in 1592, the youngest of eight children. In 1623 he emigrated to Plymouth with his wife, Sarah and son, Caleb. However, he was uncomfortable with the strict Pilgrim society in Plymouth and moved his family to Nantasket in 1624. In the late autumn of 1625, Conant was invited by the Rev. John White and other members of the Dorchester Company to move to their fishing settlement on Cape Ann as their governor.

Still looking for more favorable conditions for a settlement, he led a group of people to Naumkeag, now Salem, in 1626, and continued as their governor. In 1627 a patent was solicited from England and it was obtained by a group led by John Endicott who arrived in Naumkeag in 1628. Endicott and the other settlers of the New England Company now owned the rights to Naumkeag. Fortunately for the peaceful continuity of the settlement, Conant remained in Salem and, despite what must have been a disappointment for him, acceded to Endicott's authority as the new governor.

Conant built the first Salem house on what is Essex Street today, almost opposite the Town Market. In 1639, his was one of the signatures on the building contract for enlarging the meeting house in Town House Square for the First Church in Salem. This document remains part of the town records at City Hall. He was active in the affairs of the town throughout his life. In 1679, he died at the age of 87.

This dramatic, cloaked statue of Roger Conant faces the Salem Common and stands atop a huge boulder brought from the woods near the floating bridge at Lynn. Artist Henry H. Kitson designed this heroic bronze statue for the Conant Family Association and the statue was dedicated on June 17, 1913.

America's First Families
Ancestor Roll Of Honor

ROGER CONANT
MASSACHUSETTS (1591-1679)

A statue of Roger CONANT stands in Historic Salem today, in tribute of his contribution and early settlement in Salem and the Massachusetts Colony.

Roger CONANT, born 15 April 1591, was the eighth child of very respectable parents, Richard and Agnes (Clarke) CONANT, in East Budleigh, Devonshire, England. At about age 18 (1609) he and his older brother, Christopher, went to London and established themselves in career and community. Roger was a salter and Christopher was a grocer. During this time Roger probably married a first wife but she died in 1618, leaving no children. On 11 November 1618, Roger married Sarah HORTON, daughter of Thomas and Katherine (Satchfield) HORTON, at St. Ann Blackfriars in London. They had two children born there, one of which died less than two months old in 1619.

By 1623 Roger and Christopher had decided to pay their voyage to America. They had religious disagreements with the church and undoubtedly had an adventuresome spirit. It is known that Christopher came on the Anneto Plymouth Colony arriving in July, 1923. It is assumed that Roger, Sarah and son, Caleb (just over a year old), were also on that ship. No other ship record of them has been discovered.

Upon arriving at Plymouth, Roger seems to have been at odds with the settlers there, he being a Puritan, not a separatist, as they were. Some of the new settlers, particularly noteable, the Rev. John LYFORD and John OLDHAM, were expelled to Nantasket. Shortly thereafter, Roger and his family followed them. Christopher seems to have remained in Plymouth but no further record has been found of him. Roger resided at "Conant's Island", later called "Governor's Island" in Boston Harbor.

Upon hearing of Roger CONANT's good character and ability, Rev. John WHITE and the Dorchester Company asked him to manage their affairs at Cape Ann. Cape Ann had commenced in 1622-23 as a fishing site. Roger agreed to take charge of the settlement in the fall of 1625. Despite the settlement size of 200, the fishing trade did not profit and the growing of crops was not successful. The decision to disband the community was made. Roger, himself, did not like the Cape Ann location. A new site was chosen at Naumkeag, later called Salem. In the fall of 1626, the CONANTS and about 40 settlers moved to Salem. Many of their group in Cape Ann went to Virginia but Roger was determined to remain in what was to become Massachusetts Colony.

In 1627-28 a patent of land in Massachusetts Colony was granted and the news reached Salem in June, 1628. Roger expected to be appointed Governor or agent since he had already been the agent in charge for three years. However, one of the patentees, John ENDICOTT, was sent from England with about 50 new settlers and was designated the Governor. Despite the disappointment Roger CONANT must have felt, and the disagreements between the old and new settlers, he continued in his effort for a successful venture there, putting the good of the public above his own.

Roger became a freeman 18 May 1631. He was listed with the church members of Salem in 1636. He was a representative to the First General Court of Massachusetts Colony in 1636. He was appointed Essex magistrate and served regularly on the juries of Essex County. He held many town offices and was a Salem Selectman for many years.

Sarah and Roger had eight more children in America. Their sixth child, Roger, was the first white child born in Salem. They primarily resided in the Bass River section of Salem, now called Beverly.

Roger died 19 November 1679 in Beverly, following the death of his wife, Sarah. He accumulated a sizeable estate and lands.

Altho Roger CONANT was not the foremost leader in Massachusetts he certainly was instrumental in the development of it. He was a first settler of Salem, was agent of the beginning of the Colony for three years and served in many civic capacities. He was known to be of great integrity and character and always put the good of the community ahead of his own desires and ideas. he was an excellent arbitrator, often settling matters that could have caused much division and death. Also, because of his connections and reputation in England, his influence brought the formation of the Massachusetts Colony into reality.

[NI10460] probably died in King Philip's War

[NI10463] did he die unmarried at Marblehead?

[NI10465] From Lawrence Leach of Salem, Mass., and Some of his Descendants by F. Phelps Leach, pg 3-4:

"The immigrant ancestor in New England of the family which forms the subject of this article was sent over to Salem by the Mass. Bay Co., in 1629 (Suff., De., I). In Edwin M. Stone's early history of Beverly, on page 29 I find the following paragraph: "June 24, 1662, Lawrence Leach died, aged 82.
He held various offices in Salem. The usefullness of his life gained repect for his memory." His nunc will probated 25 (4) 1662; bequethed all to his wife Elizabeth, and administration was granted to her. She died about 1674.
When Lawrence Leach was about leaving Old England for New England, Gov. Craddock wrote form Gravesend, England under date of 17 Apr. 1629, a long letter concerning the affairs of the new colony, to Gov. John Endicott of the Mass. Bay Colony, in which letter I find the following paragraph:
"We desire you to take notice of one Lawrence Leach, whom we hav found a careful and painful man, and we doubt not, he will continue his diligence. Let him have deserving respect."
His life in America would seem to have fully justified the confidence reposed in him by Gov. Craddock, as he was chosen 31 Dec. 1638, one of the seven men to manage the public affairs of Salem; an office which he held for years, and had among his colleagues Gov. John Endicott, William Hawthorne, Roger Conant, John Woodbury and John Balch.
He was proposed for a freeman at Salem, in 1630, and was sworn 18 May, 1630; was one of the twelve jurymen which in Boston, in 1630, served on the trial of the first capital case that was heard in Massachusetts.
Lawrence Leach came from England to Salem, Mass., in the "fleet" with Rev. Francis Higginson, the first minister sent out by the Company, to superintend the spiritual affairs of the settlement. "The Talbot", which was probably the first vessel that ever entered Manchester Harbor, dropped anchor there 27 June, 1629...............
Lawrence Leach was one of the founders of the church at Salem, of which he was a prominent member. He engaged in farming and milling, at Rial-side. His mills were so important that a way was laid out to them, in 1657, from the meeting house at Cape Ann side and other adjacent towns caused road to be opened to them. (Freeman). He also had an iron foundry, which was the first in the colonies. Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts says: "Mr. John Leach, brother of Lawrence, was occupied at the iron works. "
This family is said to have descended from John DeLeche, surgeon to King Edwad III of England."

SKETCHES OF THE EARLY SETTLERS
OF WEST TISBURY.

JOSEPH MERRY.

This prominent pioneer of Tisbury is first found as a resident of Haverhill, Mass., in 1640, where he lived with a wife named Mary until about 1654, when he removed to Hampton, N. H. There his wife died April 4, 1657, having given birth to one child of record, Joseph, b. Dec. 19, 1654. The father, Joseph, was a carpenter by trade and plied his craft in Hampton as he had done before in Haverhill. Shortly after his wife's death he bought a house and ten acres of upland in Hampton, of Thomas Coleman, Sept. 29, 1657, and at the age of 47 years found himself a widower, with possibly a child to care for in his new home. But this was not long to remain so. Emanuel Hilliard of that town was drowned shortly after this in October, 1657, leaving a widow Elizabeth, daughter of John and Phebe Parkhurst of Ipswich, England, and sister of George Parkhurst of Watertown, Mass. The young widow was then about 29 years old, and before two years had passed she entered into a marriage covenant with Joseph Merry, who was then 21 years her senior. In this agreement he gave her the house and ten acres he had recently acquired, and sometime about Dec. 13, 1659, when the covenant was dated, they set up housekeeping, and four children were born to them in rapid succession, who later spent their days on the Vineyard. This explains the curious epitaph on the gravestone of Joseph in the West Tisbury cemetery "That being verified in him Psalms 92 14 They shall bring forth fruit in old age," a reference to his second marriage after middle life and the raising of a family.

Joseph Merry and his young family, consisting of Hannah, Abigail, Bathsheba and Samuel, born between 1660 and 1669 in Hampton, continued residence there till 1670, when in some way he became attracted to the Vineyard. If we are to credit the tradition that Governor Mayhew's first wife was a Parkhurst, possibly the sister of George of Watertown, it will be seen that Elizabeth Merry was related by marriage to the proprietor of Martha's Vineyard and thus the family connection is responsible for Merry's migration. However that be, almost as soon as the new township of Tisbury had been bought by Pabodie and his partners, Merry bought of Benjamin Church, on Nov. 19, 1669, the grist mill and its privileges "uppon the westermost Brook of Takemmy" with one eighth part of the propriety, or two shares, in the new settlement. The purchase price was £90 and Merry paid for it in whole or in part with his Hampton property, the homestead, an island of salt marsh and two shares in cow and ox commons in that town. The deeds finally passed Dec. 2, 1670, (Mrs. Merry and Nathaniel Batchelor acting as his attorneys by previous appointment), and from this it is presumed that Merry was already at the Vineyard attending to his new purchase and preparing the new home for his little family. The property purchased consisted, as laid out, of the mill on the New Mill river so long operated by the Looks, with land adjoining on the west side of the road, and about eighteen acres on the east side of the road, bounded by the river. This last lot is still known as "Merry's Field" after a lapse of two and a half centuries, though the property did not remain in the family beyond 1705. After operating the mill for five years, Joseph Merry sold that part of his estate to Tristram Coffin of Nantucket, and being then about three-score-and- ten years of age it is presumed that he devoted the rest of his life to his trade and tilling the soil. There is no record as to the location of his house, but in all probability it was in his "Field." His public services were few. He was constable in 1675, road surveyor in 1678 and 1687, and was chosen to divide common lands in 1689 and 1690. On March 2, 1677-8, the grand jury presented him "for contempt of authoritie in not obeying the summons in his Majesties Name to give in testimony" and for this he was mulcted in the sum of five shillings. In 1681 he sued Simon Athearn in the sum of £20 "for non payment of a frame of an house," but the two compromised on £7 and divided the costs. On July 12, 1689, being then about 82 years of age, he gave his homestead by deed of gift to his only son Samuel, then just entering his 21st year, and from that date on until 1701 his name appears but once in the records, when he gave some "information" about the ancient bounds of a town lot, being then in his 84th year. He passed the century mark in 1707 and died April 5, 1710, at the remarkable age of 103, undoubtedly the oldest person who has ever lived in the town. It is not known whether he survived his wife Elizabeth, as there is no record of her death nor a stone at her grave. If she survived she was 82 when her husband died. Of his children further evidences of longevity are noticeable. His daughter Abigail Pease died in her 80th year and Hannah Skiffe at 97 years.
