Eight Utah naval reservists, four of them from Ogden, are participating in full scale sea maneuvers, the world famous Seattle Sea fair and a side trip to Vancouver, B.C., in an adventure which began last Saturday. The Utahns are Wendell A. Farr, 540 8th St.; Joseph A. Graves, SN, 3791 Ogden Ave.; Jack D. Lynch, FA, 590 8th St.; Jack M. Peterson, FA, 650 8th St.; Thomas G. Larsen, SR, Arcadia; Arnold E. Webb, SR, Myton; Franklin D. Spencer, SR, Neolas and Kendall B. Schaefemayer, SR, Roosevelt. Making the trip are 96 naval reserve officers from the 12th naval district, which included northern California, Nevada and Utah. Leave Treasure Island. The reservists left Treasure Island, San Francisco Saturday afternoon aboard the destroyer escorts, U.S.S. George A. Johnson, U.S.S. Grady and U.S.S. Thomas F. Nickel. The three ships were scheduled to rendezvous outside Golden Gate with three similar ships with reservists from the Eleventh naval district. En route to Seattle, the group will conduct battle problems and drills. During the Seattle Sea fair the reservists will join a long line of combat vessels in a salute to the host city of Seattle. Cruisers, destroyers, submarines and amphibious craft will be in the sea parade which will converge at its finish to a point where the ship's crews will march through the streets in a parade. A simulated amphibious assault will be staged against a Seattle park beach. From Seattle, the reservists will make a side trip to Canada and then will return to San Francisco, conducting training and gunnery exercises on the way." 3.

Petersen will arrive home today with her three children, Kerry, and twins, Karen and Chris, to join her husband, after seven months in Europe. Mrs. Petersen, a native of Nice, France, has been there visiting her Russian parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas de Lanskoy, who are now making their home in Nice. It was her first visit home in nine years. Mrs. Petersen came to America is an LDS convert and receive her American citizenship papers four years ago. Mr. Petersen joined his family for a month in the summer and while there he and his family visited in Scotland, England, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany and Denmark. "My wife's mother acted as interpreter," Mr. Petersen said, "as she speaks 14 languages. She was attached to the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., at the time of the Russian revolution." He explained that after the overthrow of the Russian government, Mrs. Petersen's parents were exiled in France and have lived there since."

The following is a hodge-podge collection of bits and pieces of notes, quick memories, and copies of our children's school assignments about me and my family history collected over the years. It also includes history and stories about my business. Hopefully, this will be clarified and added to in the future a little at a time. It was suggested and I was able to get started through the prompting of my daughter Karen Jasper and with a lot of help from everybody. It all began in 1932. I, Jack Merlin Petersen, was born March 22, 1932 in Ogden, Weber County, Utah, in the United States of America at the Thomas Dee Hospital on Harrison Blvd. (The hospital has since been demolished.) My mother was Irene Hales, daughter of Charles Henry Hales III and Sarah (Sadie) Catherine Stoker. She was born in Junction City, Piute County, Utah. My father was Paul Franklin Petersen (he went by the name of Frank), son of Peter Petersen and Mary Ann Burnhope. He was born in Ogden, Weber County, Utah. My family has a rich heritage - the very better of two worlds: my wife Irene's European heritage – even though she did not experience it, her ancestors were well-to-do, well-bred and well-educated; my heritage was of pioneers – many living in log cabins with dirt floors and many not reading or writing, but they were very religious and dedicated. I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but not in the strictest sense as I now understand it as my father was not a member and never joined the Church. My mother was a member, but did not attend church much without Dad being with her. She did teach in the Primary at one time. Also in the church at that time a woman could not enter the Temple for their own endowment without her husband. They were both very supportive. I was a member of the Ogden, Utah, 8th Ward, and Ben Lomond Stake. I received many Aaronic Priesthood Achievement Awards in my youth. I was blessed in the Church on June 5, 1932. I was baptized and confirmed on March 31, 1940, nine days after my eighth birthday. I was ordained a Deacon on August 27, 1944, a Teacher on December 29, 1946, a Priest on April 17, 1949, an Elder on June 2, 1951, and a High Priest on September 25, 1980. I have always thought that going to church was something that you were supposed to do. I introduced myself once in a church talk and I will use some of it here: I believe most of you know me; I am Jack Petersen, a common name, but there aren't very many of my Petersen family around. Truthfully, the name should be Pedersen. This was my grandfather's name when he arrived from Denmark at age nine. He had a younger sister, who never married; she took care of her parents into their old age. So you can all understand that without a husband to take care of, she was able to reach the age of ninety-five and eight months. She must have had an accent, as I learned to call her Ankristine. I was surprised to realize not too many years ago that it wasn't Ankristine but Aunt Christine. I have one sister, Shirley Petersen, married name Dunbar, born on June 10, 1928 in Ogden, Utah. My sister and I were part of a family of nine Petersen and eight Hales cousins. But in that group there were only three Petersen boys -- Sherman, Paul, and I are the only three Petersens in my generation. Paul has since passed away. The names of my cousins are: PeterSEN -- Sherman Carl Petersen, Paul Fredrick Petersen (deceased), Joyce Koepke, LaRay Koepke, Warner Lawrence Hansen (deceased), Keith Richard Shupe, and Carole Patricia Shupe. HALES -- Edward Scott Hales (deceased), Kenneth Lee Hales (deceased), Suzan Hales (deceased), Bonnie Hales, Charles Henry Hales(5th), and Patricia Hatten. My grandfather Peter Petersen was a cowboy and my grandmother's father Thomas Burnhope was also a cowboy; they rode the range together at Promontory, Utah. My Petersen grandparents had five children, four of whom lived. They lived in Utah and I have found or been told that all the children were blessed in the LDS Church – and some were baptized – but something or someone drove them out of the Church. I understand my grandmother took issue with the Church burial procedure at the death of her mother. She left the Church and never spoke thereafter of her brother Isaac, who supported the Church position. All I ever was told was that if I ever met a Burnhope, I would know I was related. I did by chance meet one and became acquainted with two third cousins, Keith and Ken Burnhope. My mother and father knew each other as children since their families had small farms next to each other on Third Street at Five Points in Ogden, Utah. My mother comes from a family of early Mormon pioneers. Her grandfather Charles Henry Hales II and her great grandfather Charles Henry Hales I were polygamous. Her great grandfather with his two wives had 26 children who all lived to adulthood. I have a lot of Hales relatives, even an Apostle. Also, in every major event in Mormon and Utah history, I had a relative present or involved: in the city of Nauvoo, on the covered wagon track, and in the Mormon Battalion with over 14 relatives serving including two grandfathers and a grandmother. Some sailed on the Ship Brooklyn. They lived in the settlements of Pueblo, CO, San Bernardino, CA, Southern Utah, and Northern Arizona. They were involved with the cotton industry, iron mills, the railroad, and many others. My mother had four brothers and one sister: Charles Henry (Jack), Clemont (Mont), Dwayne (Duke), and Doyle, and my Aunt Melba. I loved my uncles. They were very good to me. As I said before, Shirley and I have six cousins on the Hales side of the family. In 2010 it was down to three. My mother and dad built a "honeymoon house" at 650 8th Street in Ogden. It was just a two-room house and they built it themselves before they were married. They married November 19, 1926. I lived in this house throughout my youth. They added onto it a little at a time. I didn't move from this house until I was married in 1952. My parents lived here the rest of their lives. My dad lived at home with his parents while he was building their house. His dad charged him rent for living there, which didn't make dad very happy since it took a lot of his building funds. He said he would never charge his children rent if they lived at home and he never did. I was raised through the Depression years. I had no real understanding of the hardships it caused many -- I was too young. My father worked for George A. Lowe Company, a pioneer, full-line Hardware Company in Ogden, Utah on Wall Ave. and was steadily employed there for 20 years. This company had the first telephone in the state -- a line from their warehouse to their retail store. I do remember Dad going next door to help clean up a chicken coop for a family to move into. They didn't have any other place to live. Perhaps due to the depression there were very few pictures taken in my youth; however, occasionally a photographer would come down the street with ponies and they would have cowboy and cowgirl costumes for the children to put on. They would go door-to-door to see who would like a picture of their children sitting on a pony. I have several pictures of Shirley and myself on these ponies. As a young man, Dad worked for a canning factory making tomato ketchup. (They also made very good pork and beans.) He seemed to have enjoyed that experience. He spoke of it often. I have a picture of him standing by one of the company trucks. I believe the canning factory name was "Pierce." My mother was very neat and clean and hard-working. She would always call us children in and clean us and put fresh clothes on us prior to Father's return from daily work. We always had two meals a day with the family. We always sat down to eat breakfast together and we always had supper together. Mom would have it prepared and on the table by the time my dad came home from work, which was right around 6 o'clock. Dad was always very punctual. Mother always set the table with a tablecloth. We always had home canned fruit on the table along with jam or jelly. Her rule for nutrition was very simple, "Your plate must have three colors of food on it." My dad said it was cheaper to buy good food then it was to pay a doctor. So we ate well. She always thought she was overweight (a Hales' trait) inasmuch as she had copies of all the popular diets of that time. She also wore a house dress during the day, but a corset for dress-up. She liked to read -- especially the stories in romance magazines. As a child, I enjoyed eating the leftovers from my father's lunch box. I now believe that he saved me a half of his jelly sandwich or other treats. I enjoyed waiting on the street corner for my father's return from work. He would let me ride on the running board of our Model A Ford the rest of the way home. My father was industrious and very good with his hands. He did all of his own building and repairs at home. He had a large city lot, which was very well kept. He was very proper and polite. I never heard him tell a joke or an off-colored story. I never heard him swear -- not a word. He was so meticulous that even when he sharpened his wood pencil with a pocketknife, every cut was exactly the same. His pocketknife was always sharp as were all of his other tools and knives. He had little patience with anyone who did not take care of their tools. Dad had beautiful handwriting. Even while working in the warehouse, he kept his shoes shined. He had a shoe shining kit there and in it a brush with letters "WHSE" for warehouse carved in the wooden grip. I have that brush. While working in the warehouse, he always wore a rolled-up black stocking cap, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and bibs overall. Dad sometime would have a baseball mitt in his back pocket; they played catch in the parking lot on their lunch break. Dad also played ball at the company picnic; he liked to bunt himself on base. Dad smoked all his life. Through my younger years, he always rolled his own cigarettes. You would always see him with a string and round tag from the "Bull Durham" tobacco sack hanging out of his shirt pocket, western style. I believe that smoking had a lot to do with his early death at age 67. He wouldn't go to a doctor because of the lecture he would get about smoking. At George A. Lowe Hardware, Dad managed the upstairs floor. The warehouse was almost a city block long. I enjoyed visiting there. Grandpa Petersen also worked there in packing and shipping. He would wave to me on my visits. I always snuck a ride down the chute from the second floor to the shipping department and met with him. One of my dad's responsibilities was the ordering of many tons of coal for the heating of the warehouse. I once visited with Dad when he was giving an order to the owner of a coal company. I blurted out something like, "With all the coal that Dad buys from you, you ought to give us coal for our home for free." He said, "I couldn't do that, that's my business." Dad responded to me by saying, "Where do you think the fruit comes from at home for Christmas?" (We always had a case of apples, oranges, or grapefruit under the Christmas tree.) The owner's remark always fascinated me about not giving away for free the actual product that he sold for a living. Irene captured a great photograph of Dad – a very typical one. Dad always wore a white shirt and tie and a pair of western cut pants called "Pinks." He would come home and change into his bib overalls, take off his tie, and would keep the white shirt on. The photograph shows him sitting in the kitchen below a Union Pacific Railroad calendar, which he always used for scheduling. He was holding his glass of beer. His ring with a diamond set in black onyx and watch (both of which I have in my possession) are showing in the picture. Payday was Shirley's and my big day. Dad would bring home a sack full of candy bars, five or six for each of us. He purchased these at Payless drug store, three for a dime. Dad liked licorice. When Shirley started working she would bring home expensive handmade chocolates. Our house was set back deep in the lot, and we had a large grassed front yard with a winding sidewalk to the front door. The front door and entrance had a round top and round glass door window. There was a special curtain for the door made by Mother that gathered to the center. (I now have that curtain – 2012.) Our front yard had five large Rome Beauty apple trees and a large Catalpa tree. I spent a lot of time climbing in the apple trees and picking up fallen apples. I found that with a pointed stick about 18" long, I could stick it into an apple and throw the apple almost a city block. I often cleaned the yard this way. You might wonder what the neighbors thought -- but apples came from such a distance that they could never guess the source! We had a large fruit and vegetable garden in the rear of the house as well as a large chicken coop. Dad kept the garden and the yard immaculate. I was often jealous of the yard because Dad spent so much time in it. I played most of my games at the neighbors because Dad would not let us roughneck in our yard. The garden was irrigated weekly and the irrigation ditch came from the front down the right side of the yard. I spent many hours under the apple trees in the irrigation ditch playing "cars," building roads and garages on its banks with road system surpassing today's freeways. I also did a lot of the irrigating, weeding, and harvesting of our garden. Sometimes it got pretty hot though. Every spring a farmer would bring a team of horses down the street soliciting work at plowing your garden spot. Dad used their services sometimes, but most of the time we hand-spaded it ourselves. The city would grade the dirt street in front of our house. They used a road grader that looked a lot like the ones used today but a team of horses pulled these; it was also oiled yearly. In the garden, we had all types of fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, black caps, dewberries, gooseberries, currants – red, black, and yellow – rhubarb, cherries (white Queen Ann canning cherries; our red Bing cherry tree died), peaches, pears, and many varieties of grapes. We had two walnut trees – Black and English. We would also always raise carrots, peas, radishes, onions – both green and seed – corn, tomatoes, green peppers, and "grass peas." The "grass peas" seed originally came from Denmark and was brought over by my great grandfather. They resembled and were used like Lima beans. They were cooked with a ham hock. I still have a few of these seeds. They were very tasty. My grandfather, Peter Petersen, with a "sen" in the name, came with his parents at the age 9 from Denmark. I have always believed his dream was to travel, which you didn't do much in those days. I now believe he did this thru reading his National Geographic magazines. He always had a stack of them. He gave me one of his old books, a large old book, which I still have: "Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution, 1928." I spent a lot of good times working with my father in the garden. I also helped my mother can the fruit and vegetables. We always had over 200 quarts of tomatoes at the end of the season, along with peaches, pears, apricots, and cherries. I remember working the cherry pitter with juice running down my arms and off my elbows. My favorite was canned apricots with pineapple chunks and apricot jam with apricot nuts. I would crack the nuts. We also put up a lot of grape juice. Thinking of irrigating, every spring the neighbors would form a work party and we would cut the weeds out of the canals. I still remember the smell of the weeds and the spearmint that grew along the ditch bank just like "herb tea." (Is that why I have never liked it?) My father taught me the use of tools and being in the hardware business he always had the newest tools available. He taught me to make repairs properly and not just to do a quick fix. My Uncle Mont had the reputation of wiring and taping things together -- I was told to do it right and not like "Mont." I helped my father mix his own house paint – white lead, linseed oil, and turpentine. He taught me how to hold a paintbrush and how to work the paint into the wood. Dad would save the salvaged wooden shipping crates at the Lowes' warehouse. When he had a big enough pile, he would have their truck deliver it home. It was my job to pull, straighten, and save all the nails, then cut the wood up for firewood. The crates were made out of cheap hardwood and I used a carpenter handsaw to cut them up. This was hard work. I don't think I ever used a new nail until I was out of high school. Spring was greeted with the ladies on the street putting scarves on their heads and with an apron over their house dress and armed with a stepladder, brushes, and a bucket full of hot soapy water, they would handwash the outside of their houses, Chickens were a major part of my youth: feeding, caring for, egg gathering, and butchering. In the spring we would have the little chicks around a light bulb in the basement, later in the back of garage. Dad liked Leghorns (white eggs) and Grandpa Petersen liked Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs) and the two discussed quite often the virtues of each breed of chicken. I have learned that the world record for egg production is held by a White Leghorn that laid 371 eggs in 365 days. My mother would gather the eggs and sell the surplus for her kitchen money. I can remember the Metropolitan Insurance salesman coming weekly for the $1.00 premium for the insurance policy for Shirley's and my education. Mom would have to make sure she had her eggs sold for this payment, as well as for our monthly church fast offering envelope. Chicken was a main dish at home with the spring fryers as one of my favorite. When they were large enough, they would be split in half and fried, and I would get a whole half chicken. Mother made great fried chicken, as did my Grandmother Hales! The older hens were used for stewing with homemade hand-cut noodles. I remember many times hearing my dad tell my mother that the egg production was down and it was time for him to go talk to the chickens again. He would go to the coop, sit on his haunches, and talk to them. He told the chickens that if they didn't start laying more eggs some of them would lose their heads. While doing this he would have a chance to feel the underside of the individual hens and pick out a few that were barren, these are the ones that got their heads cut off. The egg production would increase almost overnight while we had chicken and noodles for supper. The family rule was if you did not know what to feed Frank, fry him two eggs. Dad always tried to raise pigs as he did in the earlier days. He would wash down the pens daily and handwash the pigs, but the neighbors would always report him for keeping pigs. The city was being built up around us and it was against the city ordinances. As I said earlier, my father was not a member of the LDS Church. I do not know how serious he was but he said that if he had to join a church, it would be the Catholic Church. He said this is because when he was young he used to sell newspapers. He would always go over to the Catholic Church when there was a mass to sell newspapers. The members would be in a good mood after church and be very kind, so they bought lots of his newspapers -- so he thought the Catholic Church was all right. There were a lot of experiences with the Mormon missionaries trying to convert him. He was always fair game for any new missionaries that came around. Their challenge was to "go over and convert Frank Petersen." He was always polite, but he teased them -- he liked to tease (a Petersen trait). One time they asked him what religion he belonged to. He said, "The Salvation Army." The two sister missionaries said, "That's not a religion." Dad replied, "It is, and it's a very popular Protestant religion," which it is. They came back 30 days later after they had spent all their free time studying the Salvation Army religion. They asked him questions about the religion and of course he knew nothing about it. He was very quiet that evening. Our earlier Bishop was Roland Peterson. According to dad, Shirley got special attention until the membership realized she was not his daughter, and then it all stopped -- wrong Peterson We were members of the Ogden 8th Ward, Ben Lomond Stake. The church was on 7th street and Adam. The church building was dated with reddish brown brick, and was a story and half tall, with the congregation area on the upper floor and the classrooms in the daylight basement. It had tall, wide concrete steps in front up to a porch and double entrance doors. Primary was on Wednesday afternoon. On that day, I hurried from school to the church – first one there put a stick through door handles and was the guardian of the doors. I liked that assignment. The congregation area had a wooden floor with moveable chairs. On one end there was a full stage with curtain and on the other end the speaker's pulpit with the choir setting. The chairs would be turned around as needed or moved to the side for dances and other activities. I remember on hot summer days I would stand at door and pass out paper fans with wooden handle. I don't know the circumstances but after 20 years at Lowe's Dad quit one day, got drunk, and threw away his lunch bucket, as he was never going to work again. About three weeks later he went to work for Sears & Roebuck Co. Sears was located on the main street, Washington Boulevard, close to 22nd Street with the warehouse on the street behind. It was next door to the American Food Store where I worked. There was a little desk over in one corner where they were starting to sale insurance. The sign read "All-State." They also sold a small car called "The All-State." It was actually a "Henry J" made by Kaiser-Frazer Motor Company with a Sears's nameplate. Dad started in the warehouse, then sold farm machinery, and then worked in the retail store in the hardware department. He worked there for another 20 years until his retirement. I don't have a clear memory of this; however, Lowe's opened up a small satellite retail store called Riteway Hardware. Dad was involved with the operation and worked there. When they decided to sell the store, I was in high school. I did my best to try to talk him into buying it so that we could work together. This didn't happen. It was sold to another Lowe's employee, Mr. Sorenson. My sister Shirley worked for him for some time. My favorite dessert was Hasty Pudding (sometimes called "Poor Man's Pudding"). Ingredients: 2 cups water, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup sugar, ½ cup of milk, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp butter, 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Boil water, sugar, vanilla and 1 tsp butter together. While this is boiling, cream the remaining ingredients into a batter. Then fold in 1/2 cup of raisins and nuts, dropping by tablespoon in the boiling mixture. Then bake for 1/2 hour at 375 degrees. Black walnuts are the best to use in this recipe. Cracking and cleaning them was my job. I also liked egg-less cake, sometimes called "Depression cake," with white frosting. During the Depression, eggs and shortening were very expensive and this cake needed none. My dad was also able to "water witch" using a forked stick to find ground water. By holding the forked stick overhand with each hand over the individual forks, then spreading the forks and rolling both hands under and up between the forks until the knuckles faced each other, and then pulling back and again spreading the forks, the front of the stick (the "pointer") would turn down toward the ground if water was present. He would team up with an acquaintance from work. Dad would locate the water and while holding the willow over his knees; his partner would count the pulsations of the willow to determine the depth to the water. I never saw the friend do his thing, but I saw Dad locate water many times. When I was in the eighth grade, my science teacher said that there was no such thing as the gift of water witching. I told this to my dad and so he took me out front of the house and cut a green forked stick from the apple tree and told me to hold it properly over a known underground stream. Nothing happened! He put his hand on my shoulder and the forked stick began to move and scared me to a point that I dropped it. I picked it up again and told myself that there was no way I was going to get fooled. I gripped tightly on the stick, my dad put his hand on my shoulder and it again began to turn down with such force that it twisted the bark off in my hands. There was a drought in the area for several years and many of the neighbors hand dug wells for themselves. There was an underground stream that came down the street and crossed under our front yard. They would tap into this stream. One of our neighbors, the Wardles (he later became my bishop) four lots west of us down the street, wanted Dad to locate water on his property. Dad and his friend searched diligently and could not locate this stream on his property. Brother Wardle had no choice but to dead-reckon a location by sighting a line between a well west and a well east of his property and he hand dug very deep but never found water. Later, that boarded up dry well hole was always a concern to our parents when we played in the area. In recalling a few of my funniest memories, I will relate a few. There are only two ways to sweep with a straw-broom; turn the broom sideways for a wide stroke or endways for narrow power stroke. Once in my youth I was busy sweeping and my father put his hand on my shoulder and told me to turn the broom because I was sweeping like a woman. (You could say things like than then.) It is terrible how we forget the important lessons in life when we get older. I can't remember which way he had then told me to sweep. I may have spent my whole life sweeping like a woman. I am also told that a woman sweeps toward herself and a men sweeps away. One other was when my mother chased me up the apple tree with a willow switch in her hand. She then pulled up a chair and sat at the base of the tree until my father came home. I did not know until that day that my dad could climb apple trees. I remember when I had made a successful raid on the neighbor's melon patch with an armful of cantaloupes. I knew how much my dad enjoyed them, so I burst into our house shouting: "Dad would you like some melons I just stole?" To my horror, there sat the ward teachers from the church. One of them was a counselor in the Bishopric who owned the melon patch. My dad surveyed the embarrassment and calmly received the cantaloupes, sliced them and served the stolen bounty to all. I remember as a child when both of our parents were working. My sister and I had chores to do when we got home from school. One of these chores was to light a fire in the kitchen range, to have it ready to cook supper and also work as a heater to warm the house. Many times we would argue over whose turn it was to light the fire and our folks would find us huddled in blankets in a cold, dark house. Supper was delayed on those evenings, if we got any at all. I slept on a fold-down couch in the kitchen in our little two-room house. Our house was well-built and in bad weather the neighbors would spend the night with us. One night the wind was blowing very hard and the neighbors came over to stay with us as their houses were built on wood foundations and they could feel the wind begin to lift their houses. I remember waking up finding their kids in bed with me. Ogden experienced a lot of heavy winds called "Easterners" or "Mountain Wind." I came home from elementary school one day and the wind was so strong we had to walk backwards against the wind or it would suck our breath away. I found our large chicken coop had been picked up and turned upside down. Dad rebuilt the coop but only half the size. One of my earliest recollections was our outhouse. We had a very nice two-holer. It sat in the back of the garage. It was so nice that the neighbors would often use it. I would occasionally find one sitting sound asleep. I am told that I was frightened of teddy bears. I was even frightened of the closet where they were kept. I had pure white hair and was called "Cotton-top" by the relatives. I also wore bib overalls and tennis shoes. I was told that one day I got lost. The whole neighborhood was out looking for me. Everybody was getting very panicky. I was found still asleep in my bed. I had rolled over against the wall. We bathed in a tin tub on the kitchen floor and the water was heated in a tea kettle on the coal-burning range. Mother always rinsed our hair with vinegar water. Our two-room house was enlarged first with a closed porch off the kitchen and a half basement, then two bedrooms and a bath in the rear. This was done about the time that I was 7 or 8 years of age. There was a stairway leading up into a large attic. This was to be my bedroom but it never came about. I remember watching the basement being dug out from under the house. It was done with a team of horses and a scoop. They would back the horses under the house and pull out a scoop full of dirt. My weekly allowance was 25 cents. It was saved and spent on Saturday. It cost me 5 cents for the bus to town, 10 cents for a movie ticket – this covered the cost of a double feature movie, two cartoons, and a news reel – 5 cents for a the bus fare home, and 5 cents for a candy bar. I liked the cowboy movies and there were a lot of them. The good guys wore white hats; the bad guys wore black ones. Sometimes I would buy two candy bars and walk home, about four miles. If I ever had an extra dime, I would buy a comic book. Shirley was into "Big Little Books." They were about three inches square and one inch or so thick. No matter where I walked, I would always try to find a short cut. This was quite easy because there were walkways along the irrigation ditches (they had to have public access to the ditches). In most cases these "short cuts" probably took longer to get home. Isn't that the way all short cuts are! "Budget Cards": The LDS Church used to assign each family a portion of the ward budget. When this was paid, a "budget card" was issued. The card was used for admission to all church activities. It was important to me as a youth as the 21st Ward had a movie every Friday night. The ward was only a few shortcuts away from home. One of my favorite short cuts was to walk on a trail called lover's lane, which skirted around a hill and the lower edge of the old Ogden Pioneer Cemetery. There was no concern with walking this way in the daytime, "But at night, never!" One time I was late getting out from a movie and it was getting dark. The fog was rolling up the trail from the Ogden River. With the darkness, the cemetery, the fog, and the howling dogs, I was pretty spooked. In my earlier years, we did a lot of camping. If a camping trip was planned, Mom would always fry up a bunch of chicken to take along and boy was it good. Nothing like what we eat today. Camping and fried chicken were some of my favorite things. In most instances, Dad would come home from work on Friday and decide to spend the weekend camping. We would fill up the back seat of our Model A Ford, and then Shirley and I would ride on the top of the bedding, which was great fun. In most of those trips, we experienced two or three flat tires, which was common. Dad always carried a jack, a hand pump, a tire iron, and a box of patches. I can still remember him walking across the field with an inner tube in one hand and a pump in the other heading for a creek to find the leak. Most of our camping trips were up Ogden Canyon and into South Fork. We always stopped at "The Oaks" for a treat on the way home. It was usually pink "Mother Goose Popcorn," which came with a surprise in the box or maybe a box of "Cracker Jacks." The LDS Church had a large picnic park in the canyon; it was used for outings. I remember it well; at one outing I walked by a large table with three or four large milk cans on it. One was marked butter milk; I poured myself a paper cup full – "Yuck! now I know what butter milk is." I have now learned to like it. On one of these trips, we found a very nice campsite. Someone had left in a hurry. There was a watermelon in the creek and firewood gathered, cut, and neatly stacked. Dad would make our bed by laying a mattress and bedding on a canvas ground cloth. Mom and Dad would sleep on the sides with us two kids in between. That night Mom awakened with a start. She had felt a cold nose in her hand. She woke in time to see a mountain lion run away into the brushes. Dad rolled up the bedding with us kids still in it, loaded up the car, and we were gone. Shirley had a very bad case of hay fever one year, which was relieved in the canyon. So we lived in a tent in the canyon all summer and Dad commuted to work. These trips stopped when the car broke down and you could not get replacement parts through the war years. Even if it hadn't broken, we could not have gotten gas due to the rationing of gas, tires, and batteries. How I miss these trips. This was devastating for a young fellow not to be able to go back into the mountains that I loved so much. I remember traveling to Logan once on a bus and to Salt Lake City several times riding on the Bamberger Electric Railroad, which ran between those cities at that time. We would always visit the State Capitol. I liked to see the "Mormon Meteor," the fastest car in the world at the time. It was on display there. It set world records on the Salt Flats. I remember my dad taking my Grandpa Peter Petersen to Montana looking for the old ranch where he worked. I don't remember the trip but I do remember the valley that he pointed out. I discovered a full skeleton of a deer or maybe a sheep that I found interesting and a bit scary. On another trip my Aunt Melba was with us. Dad parked the car and I took off up the steep hill. Melba yelled at me, "Don't go up there, the jackrabbits will get you!" I didn't know what a jackrabbit was. I turned and tumbled down the hill. I must have been a boob. Melba was my aunt, my mother's only sister, and the youngest child in her family. She was a redhead and covered with freckles. I always blamed her for my freckles. She was a California girl and always dressed the part – always wearing Bermuda shorts. Melba lived with my family on 8th Street in Ogden after her high school graduation. In 1938-39 she had graduated in the first class from the new million-dollar Ogden High School built with PWA funds -- it actually cost $1,200,000. She worked as a telephone operator. The waiting time to have a home telephone was over a year. But as she was on call, we had a phone immediately. When she left our home, the phone left too. The Palmer family lived four houses up the street from ours. They made excellent homemade candy and supplied the neighborhood around the holidays. I played with their kids. We liked to put on plays. We used their single car garage as our stage, hung a blanket over the doorway as our curtain, and set chairs in the driveway. We charged the neighborhood kids a button or two or a marble to see our performance. I also remember the Palmer's clothesline always lined up with long underwear. This was strange even in those days. I was a senior in high school when my girlfriend told me that Mormons in good standing wore undergarments. I recall saying, "Not me!" One day the young Palmer boy met me on the sidewalk in front of our house. He was showing off two new cap pistols – replicas of a pirate's muskets with two hammers and two triggers on each. He handed one to me for my inspection. It was a nice gun. As I examined it, he asked for it back. I told him to give me a minute, but he then grabbed for it and knocked it out of my hand. It fell and broke on the sidewalk. He ran crying home and apparently told his mother that I had taken it away from him and thrown it on the sidewalk. The mother came charging down to our house and ran into my hot-tempered redheaded Aunt Melba. This caused a rift between the families that never did heal. Several years later, I was walking past their house and the same boy came charging out of his house right through the screen door with his hair and clothing on fire. I tackled him and rolled him around in the newly cut grass and patted him down with the wet grass. His mother, not aware of the crisis, walked from behind the house carrying a straw broom. She apparently saw what looked like me beating up her son. She came a running and broke the broom handle over my back. I got up and walked away. Later she was very apologetic. My Uncle Doyle was the only one to graduate from college in the family. He was called into the service as a Captain in the coast artillery in Panama throughout the duration of the war. He met and married a nurse there, Margaret Scott. She was once a Catholic nun. They had only one child, my cousin Ed Hales. She died shortly after his birth from cancer. My Uncle Jack was drafted. He was "Big Jack" and I was "Little Jack." He sent home for a copy of his birth certificate. When he received it, it had the name Charles Henry on it. He sent it back telling his mother that she had sent his Dad's certificate. He did not know until that time that his name was Charles Henry (III). He named his fourth child Charles Henry also. He had three small children when he was drafted. My dad and mother gave his family a lot of assistance at that time. They repaid them later by giving us a lot of help and gifts for our children. My uncle Jack did not serve in combat. In 1957, I attended the funeral of my Uncle Duke (Dwayne Hales), who lived in Pasadena, California. The family went by caravan from Ogden. Irene was not able to go because of the young children. My uncle's wife was Beatrice "Bea" Hales. She was a very nice lady and they had no children. She worked in the Sears headquarters, which was in Pasadena. As my dad also worked at Sears, they had something in common. I'm told she remarried and was living in Las Vegas. She has since passed away. My mother was very protective. As I understand, when she was a child living in North Ogden, she was rabbit hunting with a young boy with a .22 rifle and there was an accident and the boy shot himself and died in her arms -- so she was extremely scared of guns. I wasn't allowed to have a gun. I was a very disappointed Scout when my parents would not sign the release to target shoot at the firing range at scout camp. When my troop would go to the shooting range, I was restricted to our cabin. Later, when Mother visited our house, we had to put away all the kid's toy guns as they upset her too much. My dad did have a .22 rifle that I was able to use when I was older. I used it to rabbit hunt which I enjoyed. I got my first gun when I graduated from high school, an Ithaca 12 gauge shotgun which I still own. I now have Dad's .22 Rifles; it is a model 62A Winchester pump. I also wasn't allowed to have a bike until I was almost 15. I was more interested in cars by then. I kind of resented that. I did put a lot of miles on that bicycle though. I was riding down a hill on my bike and a big dog came out of a driveway – yes, a big dog. He got me on the leg and I crashed into a barbed-wire fence. It was a nasty wound. My uncles got out their guns and were going to shoot the dog but this was stopped. The wound became infected. I remember the doctor putting some type of acid on it to burn out the infection. I had another injury in my youth. My mother and I were in a five-and-dime store. I was looking at toys. Glass divider strips were used to separate the toys. My mother said, "Let's go." I did not want to. As she pulled me, I grabbed onto one of the strips and my finger was sliced open. The store doctor wasn't very sober when he stapled my finger back together. Fridays were garbage pick-up days. We would ride our bikes around and pick up magazines. Life and Look Magazines were our favorites. We would then sit on our front lawns and cut out pictures and articles that would interest us. Lots of war stuff. We pasted them into scrapbooks. I still have two of those scrap books – I still like to cut and paste. I liked helping my mother with her housework. I especially liked to put the clothes through the washing machine ringer. Our big day came when our Twin Dexter arrived. The Twin Dexter was a two-tub washing machine. One tub always had Stewart Bluing in the water. When I hung the clothes on the outside line, my mother made sure that like items and sizes were hung together neatly with as few clothes pins as possible. We didn't have many. Whites with whites hung first, shirts by the tail, never by the shoulders. Our clothesline ran from the back of the garage to the front of the chicken coop. We had four lines with a supporting post in the middle. You had to wash the lines before hanging any clothes, walking the length of each line with a damp cloth. My mother did a lot of fine needlework, tatting, crocheting, and embroidery. We still have some of her pieces. It was my job to tear strips of overalls and other items for the rag rugs. Mother ironed everything – shirts, pants, dresses, towels, bed sheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs – everything. Of course, fabrics were not the same then as they are today. She had a system to fold the item as she ironed and did both sides at the same time. She taught me how to iron a shirt, which process I still use today – first the collar both sides, the yoke both sides, both sleeves, the body right to left, then touch up the collar & yoke. Through my younger years my mother was always home. She did work out of the home only at harvest time. She would work in the canning factory. She was paid by the piece and did quite well especially processing tomatoes. I remember her coming home in the evening with her hands cut and wrapped with tape, cut by the sharp spoon-shaped tomato knife. The money she made all went for the household extras and furnishings. While she was working, I some time stayed with my Grandma Hales. A daily train went past her house on 16th Street and up Ogden Canyon. It was a great sport to smash pennies and other items on the track. I came down with the chicken pox at Grandma's house and the house was quarantined and I couldn't go home. They posted a "Quarantined" sign on the house. I have also had red measles and mumps. I was quarantined at home for those also. Shortly after the war started, Mother went to work for the Civil Service as a clerk at the 2nd Street Ordinance Depot in Ogden, Utah. She later, after an illness, transferred to Hill Field Air Force Base. She would have her hair done so she always looked very nice. She had beautiful white hair. I remember my dad and mother discussing if he should quit his civilian job and go to work at the higher paying government defense work. He rationalized that after the war those bases would all be closed and everyone would be looking for a job and jobs would be hard to find. Of course, this didn't happen. Most bases are still open. There was a prisoner-of-war camp located in the Second Street Ordinance Depot in Ogden with mostly Italian prisoners and a few German prisoners. They made a lot of trinkets for sale – especially out of U.S. silver coins. I remember once when my father was preparing to do some concrete work and he knew of a location in the rear of the yard that would yield fine pea gravel. He offered me five dollars if I would dig down and uncover it. I dug and picked for a week after school in the hot sun and I finally gave up. My dad spent another 15 minutes and moved a couple of inches of dirt and found what he was looking for. I learned here a lesson of perseverance and enduring to the end. Remembering that lost five dollars has spurred me on to complete many dreaded projects. I was always quite industrious selling greeting cards door-to-door in the fall, gardening seeds in the spring, and shoveling snow. The inventory came from ads that used to appear in comic books. However, my best product was black walnuts. I would clean and rake the neighbor's yards for an exchange of their fallen walnuts. I would husk them and bag them and sell them door-to-door, pulling them in my red wagon. This lasted until I was old enough to pick fruit. I could make more money picking cherries than any other type of fruit. I would enter the orchard with a bus load of pickers. By mid-morning many of them would have twice the cherries turned in than I would. But by the end of the day I would be the top picker and I learned there that it was best to set a pace and stay with it to the end. In the long run you would accomplish more. I used some of this money for the down payment for my first car, the green Chevrolet. I hated picking raspberries. Their bushes were always full of stinkbugs. I look at raspberries today even in the stores and still smell those little green guys. I also received a lesson when I was working for a farmer planting celery. Utah celery was in high demand as it was whiter than most. I was being paid very little by the hour. It didn't take me long to realize that the more hours you worked, the more money you made. So I was working 12 to 14 hours a day. The farmer called me to the side and said that I was foolish. He said that I soon would burn myself out and lose interest in the job. He said that in the long run I would make more money if I set a more reasonable pace. I shrugged this off and continued the long hours. But, as he said, I get so tired that I lost interest and quit. The others on the crew worked the reasonable shift and completed the project and made much more money than I did. This was a lesson I learned but have never totally been able to apply. I have continued to work long hours. Maybe I am still looking for the five dollars I lost before. I also hoed sugar beets. The rows were long and the sun was hot. You worked with a short hoe with a three-foot long handle. So you worked bent over. I also worked in the onion fields. We crawled down the rows and cut off the tops just before they were dug up. I also worked in the peonies fields. We "budded" the plants, cutting off all the little buds and leaving only the biggest ones. This was done in spring so it was not so hot. I received my first steady job at the age of 14 at the American Food Stores as a box boy, working there full and part-time for six years. I worked in the groceries but mostly with produce. The store and company no longer exists. I liked the grocery business. It was exciting. Every week we had a new challenge, a new promotion, and new displays. You could see very quickly what worked and what didn't. I also made good friends with our customers. The railroad pay day was our big weekend. I worked so hard as a box boy on those weekends, I couldn't sleep at night. The store closed on Sundays, so on Saturday nights the employees could buy a big bag of bakery goods for a dollar. I would take one home for my folks. I also saved the blemished citrus fruit for them. Dad would buy them at a special price for juice. Also, Hi-C canned fruit juice was a family favorite. I also worked with a milkman delivering milk on a route. I felt I had made quite an accomplishment when I could carry two full milk bottles in each hand. I was taught how to fold a paper airplane by an older boy sitting on the high exterior steps of Lincoln Elementary School. I had just finished my first plane when he had a seizure and rolled down the steps. That was the first seizure I had ever seen. It wasn't a good experience. I still make this paper plane and every time I do, I think of him. During the time dad worked at Lowe's, the owner's family stored some of their personal belongings at the Lowe's warehouse. Some had been there for many years. To get rid of them, they put them up for auction to the employees. Dad bought a large trunk for a few dollars, sight unseen. We opened it at home. It was full of old fashioned clothes, an old set of small blue encyclopedia books, dishes, and lots of Christmas ornaments. It was great fun; we kids used the clothes for dress up. Mentioning encyclopedias, our family had a set of "Book of Knowledge" which I really enjoyed. They had a lot of fairy tales in them, which I had not yet seen elsewhere. They also had pictures and articles of many places that were "a must to see." I remember in particular a picture of a Model T Ford parked in front of one of the windows of Zion's National Park tunnel. Also Lake Louise, Canada, Crater Lake, Oregon, Carlsbad Caverns, and many other sights. I believe I have now personally visited them all. On December 7, 1941, I was lying on my folk's bed with my mother and we were reading the Sunday funny papers. That was fun as the bed always had a feather tick on it. A neighbor, a friend of Shirley's, ran over to our house and announced that the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor and a war was beginning. We all rushed to the radio for more information. I was nine years old at the time. I believe that I had a very normal childhood until the war started. The war years used rationing coupons for gasoline, sugar, coffee, shoes and other items. Food stamps were also used. The lowest priority of gasoline rationing was 3 gallons per week. There were war bond drives – even in schools where the kids could buy stamps of a small denomination, glue them into a book, and exchange the full book for a bond. There were salvage drives for newspapers, old rubber tires, and scrap metal. We even saved tin foil from packages and gum wrappers. We would form them into a ball sometimes as large as a softball. These would be all turned in. We also harvested milkweed cotton for life preservers. We were paid quite well for these salvage items. The family automobile was a Model "T" Ford, which I don't remember. It was replaced with a Model "A" Ford. Shortly after the beginning of the war, our beloved Model "A" Ford broke down and parts were not available to repair it. We did not have another car for seven years until Dad's purchase of a 1946 Plymouth Club Coupe in 1949. Dad purchased it from my new brother-in-law Bob Dunbar. After the war, veterans had priority in buying new cars; Bob was able to buy the Plymouth as he served in the Navy. Bob sold his Plymouth to dad and bought a new Chevrolet. I had always thought that this Chevrolet was a wedding gift from his folks, but I have been corrected. Without an automobile for seven years, it stopped my love for camping, fishing and hunting, which I never picked up again in my later years, which I now regret. About the same period, our radio died and we couldn't get it repaired. There were very few radio tubes available, and you couldn't buy a new radio. A friend of Dad's tried to wire around the missing tubes, but this didn't last long. So throughout the war I used a crystal set with earphones. With it I could pick up only one station – Ogden's KLO. A crystal set was more of a toy. It had a wire coil and a wire came out of the end of the coil, which was called a "cat whisker." You needed a long aerial of maybe 100 feet or more. By touching a rock crystal with the cat whisker you could pick up a radio wave and hear it on the earphones. You couldn't get any other volume. A dry-cell battery powered it. I haven't seen one of these for a long time. It was about 5" tall and maybe 2 ½" in diameter. I would listen to programs like the Lone Ranger, Terry and the Pirates, I Love a Mystery, Captain Midnight, the Shadow, the Saint, and others. Now back to our little house. There was no heat in the back bedroom so a blanket would be hung across the hallway. The sewer line came out the back of the house at a depth of about four feet. It ran along and out from the back, down the east side of the house, and out to the street. The connection there was about 12 feet deep. The total run was about 250 feet. Dad hand dug the trench, laid the pipe, and hand filled it by himself. He tunneled under all the apple tree roots As I said before, our hot water came from a teakettle heated on the kitchen range. We advanced to a kitchen range with a water jacket built in with a hot water tank next to it. When the basement was completed, we had running hot water heated by a monkey stove (a small coal-fired stove with a water jacket and tank next to it). I later used this little stove as a temporary heater in the house I was building. A few years later, we installed a coal stoker and hot air furnace in our basement and had for the first time central heating throughout the house. As we grew older, Shirley took over the bedroom and Dad remodeled the back porch into a very small bedroom for me. I collected automobile pictures of 1946 to 1948 vintages and hung them all over my room. I hung my model airplanes from the ceiling. I enjoyed drawing pictures of planes and carving them out of pine blocks. I still bear scars on my hands from the knife. One of my original planes is a dead ringer to the F15 that flies today. Our family enjoyed the holidays. We always had Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Hales' home on 16th street in Ogden, where an old-fashioned country dinner was prepared. I remember the mashed potatoes and gravy the most and also the white cake. My grandpa would always pour milk on his cake making it more like a pudding. Bread and milk was common at the Hales as well as milk toast (two pieces of toast with hot milk, a chunk of butter, and salt and pepper). Christmas dinner was always served at Grandpa and Grandma Petersen's on Madison Street. I would have to leave my Christmas toys behind at home much to my dislike. We would leave at about one o'clock for their house. On Christmas morning the type of gifts I would generally get were Tinker Toys, Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs, microscopes, chemistry sets, and games such as Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Monopoly, and Pit. It would always seem like the uncles and aunts would get together and send me the same gift. One year it might be all pocket knives or wallets or belts. My Aunt Melba's gifts were always wrapped very elaborately. My biggest disappointment was when I reached the age my uncles and aunts stopped giving gifts. I remember Grandma Petersen with her long white hair always rolled into a bun on top of her head. She was prim and proper and had blue eyes. There we would have a second Christmas and we had a gift exchange with our relatives on that side of the family. Their home was at 2264 Madison Avenue in Ogden; it was built in the 1800's and four generations of my family have lived in it. (It was demolished in 2010.) My cousins Warner, Joyce, and LaRae were good friends. I was always surprised of the different types of toys they enjoyed such as a toy working typewriter, lead soldiers, a casting set for melting lead, and other items. Dinner would be more continental than country. Plum pudding was always a treat as it was served flaming when brought in by Grandma Petersen. Grandpa Petersen also kept a very neat garden and chickens. He didn't have as many flowers as Dad did. My favorite thing other than the chickens was his Mulberry tree. I liked to climb the tree and eat the berries. He had a small dirt cellar under the house with access through a floor trap door located in the enclosed rear porch. The cellar was always full of home canned jars of peaches, pears, jams and jellies neatly placed on wooden shelves grandpa built and wood kindling very neatly stacked, chopped and ready to set morning fires. Grandma only burned wood in her big black kitchen range. She said it cooled down faster than coal when she was through cooking. On the porch was the ice-box that was filled each week with a chunk of ice. I remember the bath room with it claw-footed bathtub. I locked myself in there once. Grandpa had a fancy wind-up clock hanging on a kitchen wall that I liked. Grandma had a piano that she played. She gave me my one and only piano lesson by showing me how to play a few keys. The piano sat in the small living room along with a coal stove (with isinglass in the door) with a coal bucket and shovel. The wall behind the piano had a narrow set of stairs leading to the upstairs bed rooms. Sometimes I would go with Dad to visit Grandpa Petersen. They would sit in the kitchen and talk and have a glass of his homemade wine. I would get a taste once in a while. The first Christmas I remember was in our own family's two-room house. I remember my fold-down bed was in the kitchen and Dad had built me a windmill out of Tinker Toys, which I was very proud of. He had gone outside and shook some sleigh bells and then told me that Santa Claus was outside and if I didn't go to sleep he wouldn't come in. I dozed off very quickly. Dad would buy the tree and string the lights, then us kids took over and decorated the tree. We used the old-fashioned ornaments from Dad's old trunk, strings of popcorn, cranberries, and colored-paper chains. As a kid, we played a lot of tag games. One was called "Round-up." The first one caught in the previous game was "it." He would chase after the others. If he captured or tagged one, he became his helper and chased after the others that weren't tagged. This game ranged over miles through barns, over hay stacks, and over roofs of chicken coops. It was an all-out war. "Kick the Can." A can would be placed under an "arc" (or street) light and the person that was "it" had to protect the can as well as jump over the can to tag someone. The person that was "it" would find a player and race him to the can. He would yell "over the can for the player and identify him by name." If he was beat to the can and it was kicked, the kicker was free as well as any other players that had been caught and were waiting in prison. We played marbles, usually the traditional knock the marble out of the circle – but my favorite was "holies." You would dig 4 holes about the size of a cup about 5 feet apart at the corners forming a square. Another hole would be dug in the center. It would look something like a baseball diamond. You would each put several marbles in the center of the hole and this would be the pot to win. You would lag to a line drawn in the dirt for position of turn. The person closest to the line was the first and so on. The first person would start from the first hole. You could take a hand span (thumb in the bottom of the hole and make a radius with the finger) and shoot from anywhere within the radius to the next hole. When you reached a hole you had a second turn. The next player would shoot the same way and attempt to hit his marble for a repeat turn and to knock him out of the playing field similar to croquet. If you could span into your hole another marble, you would have three tries to knock it out of the hole. If you were able to, you got your next hole free. You would always try to knock your competitor's marble into the center hole. This would kill him or yourself if you went in. You traversed the square three times and then you would shoot to the center hole and be made a king. You would then attempt to hit the other players' marbles. A touch from the king would kill the player. The last one alive took the pot. The marble that the individual shot with was called the "ta." We took great pride in this marble. Of course we played "hide and seek" also. If you had an "arc" light in front of your house, you were the most popular kid in the neighborhood. Kids don't play outside like this anymore.

On 4 March 1651/2 the court confirmed the bargain between John White and John Skinner's widow for land [RPCC 108]. In 1659 John White paid some of the highest mill rates in Hartford [HaBOP 497]. In February 1671[/2] John White paid a modest proportion for the purchase of undivided lands in Hartford [HaBOP 549]. On 30 January 1672[/3] John White drew lot #27 in the lands next to Windsor [HaBOP 552, 565].

Associations: Three of John White's sisters came to New England with their husbands: Mary, wife of Joseph Loomis; Elizabeth, wife of William Goodwin; and Anne, wife of John Porter [NEHGR 55:22-31]. Comments: John White may have resided briefly in Middletown [Goodwin Anc 2:402-03].

Bibliographic Note: In 1901 "A Descendant" published an excellent article on the White family in England, and the connections to other New England immigrants [NEHGR 55:22-31]. In 1915 Frank Farnsworth Starr prepared the best account in print of the immigrant and his children [Goodwin Anc 2:395-419]." 2. Mentioned in father's will of 17 Jun 1617: Daniel, co-administrator of will with Robert's wife Bridget. Sarah, eldest dau. and wife of James Bowtell of "little Salinge." "Marie, wife of Joseph Lummis of Branetree." Elizabeth, wife of "Willm Goodinge or Goodings of Bockinge." Bridgett, unmarried. Anna, unmarried. Nathaniel John, minor under age 20. Also mentions a kinsman: Ralph Bett, the younger. 3. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken: "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield... According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born... The home lots of Joseph Loomis and John Porter in Windsor were adjacent, and these two sisters, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, began in 1639 new homes side by side, in which they lived the rest of their days. Three years before, in 1636, their brother John White, and their sister Elizabeth (White) Goodwin, had settled in Hartford... It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the "Lion" in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of 200 pounds should be reduced to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the "Lion," given in Drake's Founders of New England, page 12, his name follows next after the name of William Goodwin. [Footnote included after the work "Lion": "We know the name of the vessel from Gov. Winthrop's Hist. N.E., vol. I, p. 107."] His wife's name was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted lease in the handwriting of his son Nathaniel White (now in the possession of one of his descendants), dated March 28, 1666, the lessors being John White and Mary his wife, the lessee their son Nathaniel; the premises, his house and garden, etc., in Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of the lives of said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whether said John or said Mary. The Parish Register of Messing gives the marriage, December 26, 1622, of John White and Mary (Lev)it. A facsimile of a tracing made by Mr. William Brigg of this entry is here given. [A reproduction is included in the article; Mary's last name seems a bit faded and an L then space then it can be made out.] At the request of Mr. Frank F. Starr, of Middletown, Mr. William Brigg, editor of the Herts Genealogist and Antiquary, very kindly made a careful examination of this entry. His great experience and skill in deciphering old records make his suggestions and conclusions on difficult words in such records of great value. He writes to Mr. Starr as follows: "In reference to this entry: all I need say is that it is a most difficult one to read so far as the surname of the wife is concerned. In the tracing you will notice faint lines where the initial letter of the name ought to appear. These lines were only visible under a very strong magnifying glass, and the letters following are totally illegible until we come to the last two, viz. 'it,' which are clear enough. It struck me at once that the initial letter was 'L,' and I immediately searched the portions of the register in the same handwriting for a capital L, but failed to find one. Then I searched through the baptisms to see if there was any name ending in 'it,' during the period in which it might be supposed she was born, and again I failed to find anything satisfactory. Later on in the register, however, in the years 1633 and 1635 respectively, I came across the baptism of two children of Isaac Levit and Mary his wife, and I have very little hesitation in suggesting that the name of John White's wife was Levit. On my return home I looked again at the will of Robert White, printed in Mr. Goodwin's book, and found that a certain William Levett was one of the witnesses. I think you will agree with me that my suggestion is a very probable one." Mr. Brigg found among the Filed Wills, Archdeaconry of Colchester, the will of William Levett, yeoman of Messing, dated 9th October, 1626, proved 15th December, 1626, at Fering. He left an estate of about five hundred pounds. Mentions wife Margaret, sons Isaac, Richard and John. Mr. Brigg also found the nuncupative will of his widow Margaret, dated February 16 [bad print in the book and it may be 15], 1633, proved 9 March 1633. Mentions sons Isaac, John and Richard, also a son William not mentioned in her husband's will. No daughter is mentioned in either will. William Levett's will is valuable because the name of one of the witnesses is "John Whit." The following is a facsimile of a tracing made by Mr. Brigg of this signature, and under it is a facsimile of the signature of Elder John White of Hartford, to the recommendation of the Council in 1677, of which he was a member, called to heal the difficulty which had long troubled the ancient church in Windsor. [Both facsimiles as described are included; the second one includes an "e" at the end of it.] The variation in the spelling of these names is not considered important. Autograph signatures of the same person are often found where the spelling is not precisely the same, especially when the difference consists of the final "e." Persons familiar with the handwriting of those times have examined these facsimiles and considering that one signature was written in 1626 and the other fifty-one years afterwards, when the writer was about 76 years old, have expressed the opinion that they are sufficiently alike to have been written by the same hand. Of Elder John White's children, Mary and Nathaniel were born in England, but only the baptism, July 16, 1626, of Mary has been found. The rest of his children named in his will were born here... It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely: Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860. The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875. Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880. The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891. John Porter and his descendants, in 1893. Memorials of Roderick White and descendants, in 1892. From these books some of the preceding facts have been taken, and to these genealogies the reader is referred for full and interesting memorials of these families... Extracts from Parish Registers of Shalford and Messing, Co. Essex, transcribed by Mr. Frank Farnsworth Starr... From the Parish Register of Messing. Marriages... 1622, Dec. 26, John White and Mary (Lev)it.

I looked up Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, for the biography of Elder John White. There was none because of his residency in Hartford. 5. FHL book "Ancestors & Descendants of Clark Proctor Nichols and Sarah (Sally) Stoughton in England and America, 1620-2001," by Clara Pierce Olson Overbo, 2002, pp. 163-64; I question the birth date of John White, which I do not believe has a documented source: "John White, born at Shalford 13 July 1600; died at Hartford, Connecticut 23 January 1683/84; married at Messing 26 December 1622, Mary Levitt. John and his wife and two oldest children, probably Mary and Nathaniel, came to New England on the Lion in 1632. They lived at Newtown. John was admitted a Freeman in March of 1633. In 1635 he was chosen as a Selectman which means he was a member of the board which conducted the business of the town of Cambridge, as Newtown came to be known. In 1636, many of the congregation left Newtown to find a place to live where they could enjoy more religious freedom. The Whites were among the group who suffered many hardships as they traveled to reach their destination on the Connecticut River. That settlement became known as Hartford. John was one of the Original Proprietors of Hartford and was granted a home lot of two acres and thirty-two acres of upland for farming. Sometime later he also acquired 150 acres of land east of the river. He was chosen a Selectman at Hartford at least four different times. After the death of Thomas Hooker in 1647, dissension began in the church. Samuel Stone had become the minister and many were most dissatisfied. This unrest continued until April of 1659, when sixty settlers of Hartford signed an agreement and moved up the river to a place where the town of Hadley was established. John was one of the first settlers there. John became a Selectman in this settlement and also served as Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts, as they now were back in Massachusetts. John also became an elder in the church in Hadley. This may be where he acquired the title of Elder John White. By 1670, dissension was again rampant in the Hartford church, and its membership again was divided with many forming another church in South Hartford. Shortly thereafter, John and his wife moved back to South Hartford and joined the church there. He became an elder. Records also mention that he was an arbitrator and counselor in church matters. Mary died before her husband. Children of John and Mary (Levitt) White... [lists 8 children b./bap. 1623-1645]" 6. FHL book "Various Ancestral Lines … Goodwin and … Morgan …," by Frank Farnsworth Starr (1915; Hartford), pp. 399-409: "John White, youngest son of Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White of Shalford and Messing, Essex County, England, was presumably born in the former parish, but there does not appear to have been any record of his baptism on the church books. Whether or not he preceded his father in the removal to Messing will probably never be known. He married at Messing, December 26, 1622, Mary whose surname it is difficult to read, owing to the damaged condition of the register. The name is thought to have been "Levit", and she may have been a relative of William Levett, who was one of the witnesses to Robert White's will. The Messing Register contains the record of the baptisms of three of John's children: John, Mary and Philip, a "daughter", the latter being baptized December 21, 1628. Whether John White continued to reside in the parish or lived elsewhere before his emigration to America, is not known. He and his brother-in-law, William Goodwin, were two of the passengers on the "Lion" which in June 1632, sailed for America and arrived at Boston on the 16th of September. (New Eng. Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 14 p. 300-1, Hotten's Lists of Emigrants to America, p. 150, Winthrop's History of New England, 1853, vol. I, p. 107, and Mass. Historical Society Collections, series 4, vol. I, p. 94.) On page 4 of the first volume of Cambridge Town Records, under date of January 7, 1632, are several votes regarding the houses of the inhabitants, fixing their distance, the kind of covering and other matters of importance to the new settlement. Immediately following these votes and supposedly of the same date, is an entry showing the proportion of the common pale or fence that each of the inhabitants was to build. Among the names, forty-two in number, we find that of "John White", who was assigned "15 Rod", (Records of the Town and Selectmen of Cambridge, 1630-1703, p. 5) showing that he had already become a resident of that town. He is supposed to have been the John White who was made one of the "Freemen of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay in New England", on "March 4th, 1632." (Records of Massachusetts, vol. I, pp. 366-367.) On page 3 of the first volume of Land Records of Cambridge (Proprietors' Records of the Town of Cambridge, 1635-1829, p. 4) is an entry of John White's lands under date of "May the first 1635", the first entry reading thus: "John Whitte in Cowyard row one dwellinge house wth other out houses wth bake sides and garden about three roods William goodwin on the northeast William Wadsworth on the southeast backe Lane on the southwest [___] Hopkins on the north West." (According to the map of early Cambridge in Paige's History of that town, and p. 15 of the text, this was located on what is now known as Bow street.) There are also recorded to him, two and one-half acres in the Old Field, three roods in Cow Yard Row, two more pieces in the Old Field of one and one-quarter acres each, one acre at Long Marsh Hill, thirteen and one-half acres in the Neck, eleven acres in the Great Marsh, three and a quarter acres in Long Marsh, one acre in Ox Marsh and one-half a rood in Cow Yard Row. (Proprietors' Records of the Town of Cambridge, 1635-1829, pp. 4-5.) "The 3rd of November 1634" he was "Chossen sueveior to see the highways and streete kept cleane and in repair for the yeare followeinge." (Records of the Town and Selectmen of Cambridge, 1630-1703, p. 10.) February 3, following, be was one of seven men chosen "to doe the whole bussines of the Towne and soe to Continew vntell the ffirst Monday in November next." (Ibid, p. 11.) In 1635 steps were being taken by a large number of the Cambridge inhabitants to remove out of the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and in the fall of that year, part of the number, and in the following spring, the remainder did so remove to what was at first known as Newtown, and later as Hartford, Connecticut. As one of the sympathizers of this movement, "John White of the Newtowne" sold to Nicholas Danforth on October 20, 1635 his house and lands, as recorded to him on page 3 of the first volume of Proprietors' Records." (Proprietors' Records of the Town of Cambridge, 1635-1829, p. 36.) He is believed to have removed soon after, and on May 30, 1636, he sold to Danforth additional lands in Alewife Meadow and the Ox Pasture, when he was described as "John white of the New Town vppo Quinetucquet River". (Proprietors' Records of the Town of Cambridge, 1635-1829, p. 36.) His homestead of two acres in Hartford was located on the north side of what is now Charter Oak avenue, with the present Governor street for its western boundary. The description of this property is entered on page 301 of the Book of Distributions: "Febr: Anna dom: 1639" "Severall parcels of Land in Hertford vpon the River of Conecticott belonging to John White & to his heires forever" "viz One parcell on which his dwelling house now standeth wth other outhouses, yards, or gardens, therein being Contayning by Estimation two acres more or lesse pt whereof he received in Exchang wth Mr Hopkins for pt of his house lott Abuttinge on the high way leading from John Moodyes into the South meadow on the South & on the high way leading from Willm Hillses to the Ox pasture on the west & on Mr Hopkins his yards & other land of his on the North & on the East" Mr. Hopkins, his neighbor on the east, later become Governor of the colony. Mr. White had also eleven and a quarter acres in the South Meadow, two acres in the Little Meadow, six acres in the Ox Pasture, eight and a quarter acres on the east side of the river at Hockanum, besides other tracts in various parts of the town. (Hartford, Conn., Land Records, "Book of Distributions", pp. 301-304, and Connecticut Colonial Land Records, vol. I, section 2, p. 12.) His name appears among the "Names of (such Inhabitants as haue) Right in v[ndivded Lands."] (Hartford Town Votes, Conn. Historical Society Collections, vol.6, p. 16.) At a town meeting held in January 1640, be was one of a committee appointed to apportion among the inhabitants the land on "ye east sid of ye greate River." (Ibid.,vol. 6, p. 39.) In January 1641, February 1645 and 1650, he was chosen one of the Townsmen, later called Selectmen, and in February 1649 he was appointed one of the Fenceviewers. (Ibid., vol. 6, pp. 58, 79, 95, 91.) The earliest entry in the first volume of the Land Records of Middletown, Connecticut, is dated "the last of May 1654." It is unfortunate that no record was kept of the transfer of lands for the first four years of the settlement, as a study of the first volume of Town Votes reveals the fact that various parties, not residents there after 1654, owned lands prior to that date, and possibly resided there for a short time. The following entries in the record of Town Votes would seem to indicate that John White was for a short time resident there. "Aprell the 11th 1653" "John halle senior condescended: to exchange with John whit senior so that hee: may lye next vnto him in the medow as them twayn shalle agree: or as tow indeferent men chosen by themselves shalle judg met and so to sit down satisfyed theire with". (Middletown, Conn., Town Votes, vol. I, folio 6.) "may the 24th 1653" "It was granted by the town that John see shall haue 30 acors of upland joyning to his home lote part being his proportyon of sowbegs felde and In case at deuiding of the parcells any one com short of their answerable proportyons It is agreed that any such shalle haue their shars made up in the next felde that be taken in goodman white abating so mu[ch] of his other deuision in yt felde as hee hath more then his share in this." (Middletown, Conn., Town Votes, vol. I, p. 7.) In March 1654, the town took action regarding the building of the meadow fence to be erected by the persons owning land in the meadow, "the proportyons of men in the ffence comes to a dayes worke and a quarter to an acre." (Ibid., p. 7-1/2.) Following this vote is a list of the persons who were to build the fence, with the amount of time they were to give thereto. Among these names is that of "Jo White". His time was "2 Days" indicating that he owned about two acres in the meadow. Whether he conveyed his lands to his son Nathaniel or sold them to other parties will probably never be known. In 1655 he had evidently returned to Hartford, for at the annual town meeting held February 15, be was given his old position as one of the Townsmen. (Hartford Town Votes, Conn. Historical Society Collections, vol. 6, p. 110.) Soon after the death of Thomas Hooker, the beloved pastor of the Hartford Church, differences of opinion regarding matters of church government arose between Mr. Stone, Hooker's successor, and a number of the congregation. These differences created great uneasiness in the town and were the cause of various appeals to the General Court and to the ministers of the neighboring plantations and colonies. The differences continued so long and such strong feelings were developed, that on April 18, 1659, fifty-nine persons met together in Hartford, at least thirty of whom resided there, and agreed to remove into the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, "to the plantation, purchased on the east side of the river of Connecticut beside Northampton therein to inhabit and dwell by the 29th of September come 12 months which will be In the year 1660." One of the signers us John White. One week later, he was one of five persons chosen by the whole body to proceed to the new plantation and to lay out fifty-nine home-lots of eight acres each. The plantation was started in the summer of 1659, and as a result of meetings held the following November in Hartford, Wethersfield and Hadley, seven men including John White were chosen "to order all public occasions, that concern the good of that plantation the year ensuing. (Judd's History of Hadley, Mass., 1863, pp. 19-20.) The records further show that on the 22d of the same month, this body of men called Townsmen laid a rate or tax to raise funds for the purchase of the plantation and maintenance of the minister. (Ibid., p. 20.) According to the map in Judd's History of Hadley, John White's homelot was on the east side of the main street ahout fifty rods south of "the middle highway to the woods," now the road leading to Amherst. (Ibid., p. 20.) As early as March 16, 1661 he was a juror of the County Court. (Hampshire County, Mass., Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 4.) He was again Townsman or Selectman in 1662, 1663, 1665 (Hadley, Mass., Town Votes, vol. 1, pp. 6, 25, 35) and a Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts in August 1664 and in May 1669. (Records of Massachusetts, vol. 4, part 2, pp. 117, 418.) In 1671 he had again become a resident of Hartford and on the 9th of April that year, he and his wife, who is not named in the record, having been dismissed from the church at Hadley, were admitted to full communion in the Second Church of Hartford. (History of the Second Church of Christ in Hartford, p. 291.) He retained the title to his Hartford homestead of 1639 until December 5, 1667, when he conveyed it to his son Jacob. (Hartford, Conn., Land Records, vol. 1, p. 85.) On his return to Hartford he presumably spent the last years of his life with Jacob on this property. For several years prior to 1677 the residents of Windsor, Connecticut were torn into two factions over ecclesiastical matters, each body worshipping by itself under a separate minister. Various attempts were made to compose their differences and in January 1677, a council consisting of John Talcott, Colonial Treasurer, John Allyn, Colonial Secretary, five ministers and seven laymen from the neighboring towns, drew up a letter of advice recommending a course of action in order to unite the opposing parties and heal all differences. Among the signatures appended to this document, that of John White is the first of the laymen. This letter with the autographs of the members of the council is preserved in the Connecticut State Library, volume 1 of "Ecclesiastical," document 63. Wise as this advice was, it was not followed and not until 1684 did the quarrel come to an end. The following entry on the records of the Second Church in Hartford shows the high esteem in which he was held by the church members: "March 28, 1677, the church having before chose Mr. John White to the office of Ruling Elder, and he accepted it, he was accordingly, this day, ordained to be in that office, in the presence with the approbation of the elders and messengers of some neighbor churches. "This holy man, having faithfully served the Lord in his place and that also with good success through grace (he was a good man, and God was with him), fell asleep in Christ, and went to receive his reward, January, 1683." (History of the Second Church of Christ in Hartford, p. 60.) The original inventory of his property still on file at the Hartford Probate Office states that "elder John white – deceased Janiuare th 23, '83" Doubtless he was laid to rest in the graveyard adjoining the First Church of Hartford, but there is no stone to mark his grave or that of his wife. She is supposed to have died before him as no provision for her was made in his will. This will dated December 17, 1683, was presented to the Hartford County Court, March 6, following. The original is on file and reads as follows: "For as much as my time Vncertaine, and j know not the day of my death, j Account it my dutie, to make my last will and testament which is as followeth. "j Resigne and give up my selfe, soul snd bodie to my soveraigne Lord & maker, my God and father in my Lord & saviour Jesus Christ: and to prevent trouble to those that shall survive mee, j do dispose of that portion of outward estate which the Lord hath in mercy blessed me with, in manner following (viz) "j give & bequeath to my son Nathanaell White thirtie pounds, and my best broad Cloath Coate & j also give him my iron bound Chest in my Chamber, & my Cob irons in my parlour, & that part of my ox pasture which lyeth on the Left hand of the way as wego to wethersfield "j give to him & his heirs for ever, bounded upon the high way west, Henery Grimes land North, Mr Niccolls his Land South, the South meadow east.

"John (his W Mark) White senr" "This was declared by John White Senior to be his last will & Testament the Seventeenth day of December. 1683, a in presence of. Caleb Watson, Mary watson" The total value of his property was £190-09-00 of which his real estate amounted to £51-00-00. A debt owing him by his son Nathaniel was valued at 90-00-00. The original inventory of his property still on file discloses that he had disposed of most of his real estate before his death, but interesting item: "By His Intrest in Harford mell," ₤-00-00 shows that he was past owner of the grist mill of the town located on Little river near the Main street.

John and his wife and two oldest children, probably Mary and Nathaniel, came to New England on the Lion in 1632. They lived at Newtown. John was admitted a Freeman in March of 1633. In 1635 he was chosen as a Selectman which means he was a member of the board which conducted the business of the town of Cambridge, as Newtown came to be known. In 1636, many of the congregation left Newtown to find a place to live where they could enjoy more religious freedom. The Whites were among the group who suffered many hardships as they traveled to reach their destination on the Connecticut River. That settlement became known as Hartford. John was one of the Original Proprietors of Hartford and was granted a home lot of two acres and thirty-two acres of upland for farming. Sometime later he also acquired 150 acres of land east of the river. He was chosen a Selectman at Hartford at least four different times. After the death of Thomas Hooker in 1647, dissention began in the church. Samuel Stone had become the minister and many were most dissatisfied. This unrest continued until April of 1659, when sixty settlers of Hartford signed an agreement and moved up the river to a place where the town of Hadley was established. John was one of the first settlers there. John became a Selectman in this settlement and also served, as Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts, as they now were back in Massachusetts. John also became an elder in the church in Hadley. This may be where he acquired the title of Elder John White. By 1670, dissention was again rampant in the Hartford church, and its membership again was divided with many forming another church in South Hartford. Shortly thereafter, John and his wife moved back to South Hartford and joined the church there. He became an elder. Records also mention that he was an arbitrator and counselor in church matters. Mary died before her husband. Children of John and Mary (Levitt) White: i. John White, baptized at Messing 28 December 1623 (perhaps died young). ii.

The book "Colonial Ancestors. Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]: "Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1] Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2] Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3] A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut. In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6] The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles. Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley. 1. JOHN1 WHITE was not yet of age when his father wrote his will and died in 1617;[8] assuming an approximate age of twenty-two years upon his marriage in Messing, county Essex, England, on 26 Dec 1622, to MARY (LEV)IT,[9] he could have been born around the year 1600. If so, his age at his death would have been about eighty-three, for his will was dated 17 Dec 1683, and the inventory of his estate was dated 23 Jan 1683/4.[10] His son Nathaniel, active, successful and respected like his father, was to live to about this same age.[11] In the parish register of Messing, the name of John's wife is given as Mary, but the first letters of the surname are illegible; the last two letters, however, are "it." A search for names found locally and so ending produced the surname, "Levit;" additional support for a tie between the two families occurs when a John White is found to have been a witness to the will of a William Levett, yeoman, of Messing, dated 09 Oct 1626 and proved 15 Dec 1626. From such evidence, Mary's maiden name is believed to be "Levit," or "Levett," and the William who died before 15 Dec 1626, leaving an estate of around £500, to be her father.[12] John and Mary White lived in England about ten years before departing for America. In company with William Goodwin and others who would later found Hartford, they sailed on the Lyon on about 22 June, and arrived in Boston on 16 Sep 1632.[13] Joining Hooker followers who had earlier located at Braintree, they settled into their first home across the sea at Newton. In less than a year, on 04 Mch 1633/4, John White was admitted a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and in February, 1635, when Newton held its first local elections, John was one of the seven men chosen as "townsmen," or "selectmen."[14] Then, in the general removal of the Cambridge people to Hartford, John and his young family are believed to have come over to the Connecticut River with Thomas Hooker in June, 1636. He was one of the original proprietors, and his homelot was located next to that of Edward Hopkins, second governor (in 1640) of the Connecticut Colony. By 1642, he had been elected an "orderer," or selectman at Hartford, holding that office again in 1646, 1651 and 1656. He often served also as a juror, or arbitrator in the adjudication of private differences.[15] After Thomas Hooker's death in 1647, problems developed within the Hartford Church, centering around personal and doctrinal differences between the Rev. Samuel Stone and Elder William Goodwin. This resulted in attempts to establish a second church in Hartford,["'/ and that effort repeatedly failing, a large contingent of Hartford settlers decided to remove and resettle elsewhere. On 18 Apl 1659, having received permission from the Massachusetts General Court, some fifty-nine persons "engaged" to remove and resettle at Hadley in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.[17] In this wrenching situation, at about age sixty, John White held firmly with his brother-in-law, William Goodwin, and actually made the move to Hadley in about 1660. It meant, of course, breaking new ground and building all over again. By this time strong in experience and wisdom, John White was even more a prominent leader than he had been before in Hartford. Informally a selectman at Hadley at the outset, he was formally confirmed as such in 1662, 1663 and 1665. In the years 1664 and 1669, he was Deputy from Hadley to the General Court in Boston.[18] After 1670, John White's name no longer appears on the records of Hadley. What happened was that the people of Hartford who had sought to establish a new church had finally prevailed, withdrawing with the Reverend John Whiting as their minister. Located on the south side of the Little River, this church became known as the "South Church." More or less coincidental with this event, John White returned to Hartford and rejoined the old friends who espoused the same congregational principles which he embraced. Probably, he was then elected to be the Elder of South Church, today an uncommon office, but indicative in that earlier time of enormous respect and love. At length, on 28 March 1677, he was elected to the office of Ruling Elder, and having accepted, he was then formally ordained and installed, just as would be a called minister. It was in this way, during his final years of life, that he took on forever the worthy title of "Elder" John White. Children of Elder John and Mary (Levit) White: i. John2 White, bp Messing, co.

Extraction of the family of William Clinch and Ann Knight from the Stockbury Parish Records (Parish Records FHL film 1473718, it. 2; Bishop's Transcripts FHL film 1737092, it. #3, and Archdeacon's Transcripts FHL film 1752235, #2 -- Note all films should be consulted for research in Stockbury because some are missing pages that others are not): -15 Oct 1774, Ann Clinch, wife of William, bur. -9 Feb 1779, William Clinch, Snr., bur. -16 Feb 1728/9, John Clinch s/o Will: and Ann, bap.; 9 May 1798, John Clinch bur. -13 Dec 1730, Ann Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap.; 1 Oct 1765, Ann Hales, wife of Stephen, bur. -No Elizabeth listed bapt. in 1730. -24 Sep 1732, Elizabeth Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap. -12 Oct 1735, William Clinch s/o William and Ann, bap.; 1 Oct 1809, William Clinch bur. -9 Jul 1738, Mary Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap. -21 Sep 1740, Margaret Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap.; 9 Aug 1741, Margaret Clinch d/o Willm. and Ann, bur. -17 Oct 1742, James Clinch s/o Will'm and Ann, bap.; 27 Mar 1750, James Clinch s/o William and Ann, bur. -No Sarah listed bapt. in 1744-1746; Sarah Banner, bur. 12 Feb 1808. -18 Sep 1748, Thomas Clinch s/o William and Ann, bap.; Thomas Clinch, bur. March 24, 1820, aged 72 years. Conclusions: 1. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no record of Sarah's baptism in the estimated time period of 1744 to 1746. 2. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different James Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first James bapt. 17 Oct 1742 was bur. 23 Mar 1748/1749 and the second James was baptized abt 1750 and bur. 27 Mar 1750. What we can confirm is the first baptism and the second burial making these two James actually just one person. Additionally, the burial record calls James as a son and not an infant of his parents. 3. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different Elizabeth Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first Elizabeth was bapt. 13 Dec 1730, the same day as Ann, and that this Elizabeth must have died before 1732 when another Elizabeth is christened into this family. There was only one that is correct is the latter one. The original Parish Record shows the entry in 1730 as Elizabeth which was then crossed out and corrected to say Ann. The Bishop's Transcript picked up Elizabeth and was not also corrected. The Archdeacon's Transcript is missing that year. MARRIAGE: 1. Ancestry.com's "London, England, Clandestine Marriage and Baptism Registers, 1667-1754": James Fuller and Elizabeth Clinch of Thornham, Kent, marr. 12 Nov 1753 London, England. Place description: May Fair Register. Officiating Minister: Keith (1753 Nov - 1754 Mar). Source: Registers of Clandestine Marriages and of Baptisms in the Fleet Prison, King's Bench Prison, the Mint and the May Fair Chapel. Records of the General Register Office, Government Social Survey Department, and Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, Registrar General (RG) series 7. The National Archives, Kew, England. Note: Thornham [sometimes spelled Thurnham], is a parish next to Stockbury, Kent, England This record is intriguing. I did a wide geographical and broad time search on all Elizabeth Clinches born circa 1732 and it is apparent that Clinch is a very Kentish name with a smattering in Cornwall/Devon. I did however find this Elizabeth Clinch born at Westminister in 1731 added by extraction who would be a likely candidate: Elizabeth Clinch (M9KY-8YM) bapt.19 Mar 1731 at Saint Martin In The Fields, Westminster, London, England. On the other hand the marriage record does state she is from Thornham, Kent. Only one Thornham in England in Norfolk, so the corrected Thurnham seems spot on to be in Kent. The baptism for James Fuller, 11 Mar 1754, son of James and Elizabeth Fuller is found in Stockbury, so the 1753 timing looks appropriate for the marriage. They must have moved shortly thereafter from Stockbury since it was the only child born of this couple in this parish. We know Elizabeth was dead by 1769 from her father's will, which does mention James Fuller. The will clinches this (no pun intended) -- I feel this is our Elizabeth, dau. of William Clinch and Ann Knight. I wonder what was the background story of the record source: "Registers of Clandestine Marriages and of Baptisms in the Fleet Prison, King's Bench Prison..." I feel this is our Elizabeth, dau. of William Clinch and Ann Knight. BURIAL: 1. No record found in Stockbury Church records.	Clinch, Elizabeth (I1218)

MARRIAGE: 1. Some have Christian Plank married to this Hannah. Plank family genealogy shows Christian marrying Hanna (Anna), the daughter of Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young - not this Hanna who would have been 22 years his senior. ACTION: 1. Records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Caughnawaga, now the Reformed Church of Fonda, in the village of Fonda, Montgomery County, N.Y. New York, unknown, 1917, 748 pgs., has the following births to parents Christoffel Forncrook and Anna/Annatje Frederick. I am not sure who Anna Frederick may be, but the best option is her being Hannah, daughter of Philip Frederick. Being that she had her first child in 1776, she would have had to be married by 1775 - assuming an average female age of 18, her birth would have probably been no later than 1757. With the exception of Barent who was born in 1739, Philip's uncles would not be candidates for her father since all were born from 1743 on. Barent Frederick would also be eliminated since he did not marry until 1771. Philip's daughter, Hanna, was born 1755 which positions her well. Need to confirm if Annatje can be translated as Hanna. Birth/baptism entries follow. None of the sponsors help solve this except for Peter and Lena [Magadalena] Frederick who could be siblings of Anna. Also one of her boys is named Philip which may in honor of her father Philip. Please note that in the first four entries below for Christoffel, "Forncrook" are written in pencil over the surname: A.

Eve Fredericks, b. 1750, d. 1830, dau. of Philip Fredericks.

Montgomery Co., NY, (1) Sophia; (2) Nellie; (3) Hannah; (4) Elizabeth; (5) Philip; (6) Abram; (7) Cornelius C.; (8) Maria." 4 The book "Our Van Horne Kindred," by Elsie O. Hallenback, 1958, copy in the Montgomery County NY Archives: "Cornelius Van Horne, oldest child of Mathias Van Horne and Nelly Crumm, was born in Upper Freehold, NJ on March 10, 1745. When a young man he came to Warrensbush, Tryon Co., NY where he worked for Philip Frederick who had a grist mill and saw mill at Mill Point, along the Schoharie Creek. Philip Frederick was the son of Peter Frederick, a Palatine who had been driven out of south-west Germany during a religious persecution, and emigrated to Mill Point where he settled and raised his family. According to the records of the Old Dutch Reformed Church of Schoharie, NY, he and Sophia Saltz, daughter of Francis Saltz, were registered for marriage on Nov. 11, 1752... Cornelius Van Horne married Eve Frederick, the fifth child of Philip Frederick and Sophia Saltz, and they built a home on the opposite side of the Schoharie Creek from that of her parents. There is an old lease in existence dated May 6, 1792 for this land which was in the very north-east section of the Corry Patent and in the Town of Glen, Montgomery County. It was given to Cornelius Van Horne by Silvanus Wilcox, and the witnesses where Thomas B. Vinman and Abraham Vootsik..." [Kerry's note: I am not sure how the author reckoned that Eve was the fifth child of Philip and Sophia.] 5. The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s): A. Eve took care of her grandfather Francis Saltz and planned the dinner for his funeral: "There was a family named Coss among Saltz's neighbors, and both the parents falling sick and dying, he took their children to his house for care. When one of them had become a young lady of eighteen, Saltz, then a widower of ninety, fell in love with and married her. All the neighborhood was invited to the wedding, and it was a gay time in the old Dutch fachion. The sequel was hardly as gay to the aged bridegroom, for his youthful bride ran away in a year with a hired man, incidentally taking the old man's money, which was in silver and kept in a hair trunk ornamented with fancy nails. This trunk is now owned and used by the C.C. Van Horne, aged 84, who is a great grandson of Saltz; and it is as nice as when the second Mrs Saltz skipped away with the hired man and the silver. It is not related that the old man pined for his graceless companion; but during the few remaining years of his life, he would sometimes sit down and count over his silver money, doubtless thinking bitterly of that which was spirited out of the hair trunk. These last years he spent with his grand-daughter, Mrs. Cornelius Van Horne. At his death, she, according to the custom of the day, baked for all his friends - some two hundred - who were expected to attend the funeral, but the creek was so high that only the pall bearers, in two canoes, crossed it; they buried the aged man on his homestead, of which he had never obtained any title." B. An accident involving Mrs. Cornelius Van Horne on Schoharie Creek: "In olden times a dangerous dugway skirted the so-called 'blue bank,' near Mill Point. It was a narrow track, and having for a time no railing, was the scene of several perilous accidents in which, however, no loss of life occurred. One of them, at least, had a humorous phase. Jacob Van Horne undertook to drive by this point with Mrs. Cornelius Van Horne and another lady in his wagon. One of the horses took to kicking, and both of them, with the vehicle, went off the bank. The driver and the younger lady managed to jump out, but Mrs. Van Horne, as well as the horses, brought up in a bed of soft blue clay at the foot of the declivity. Her eyes and mouth were filled with the mud, and she was motionless and silent. One of the men who came to the rescue remarked that she was dead, and they had better leave her and attend to the living woman, who was hurt and screaming with pain and fright. The old lady's ears were still open, it seems, and hearing this obituary remark, she spit out a mouthful of clay and shouted, 'I ain't dead yet!' She was not indeed, but lived to startle a worthy laborer, named Snyder, who was employed at setting posts for a railing to protect this very spot. He had just finished a toilsome job on a large white oak post as Mrs. Van Horne came up the hill, unobserved by him; and leaning his spade on it, stepped back a little, took off his hat, wiped his sweaty forehead, and said aloud, 'There! Thats good enough for the devil, and what's good enough for him, is good enough for any one!' 'Why, Mr. Snyder?' inquired the old lady. 'Hello!' said the workman, as he jumped round: 'I didn't see you. How you scairt me!' The solidity of Snyder's work was shown in connection with a breakdown which happened at this point sometime after. The team getting loose from the wagon, backed over the verge, one each side of the big white oak post, and the neck-yoke catching on that, the horses were suspended until the men, despairing of getting them back, cut them loose and let them slide to the bottom, where they landed without serious injury." BIRTH: 1. The Philip Frederick Mill dates from 1750 according to the New York state historical highway marker sign. Maria Saltz's father lived just down the road. This would help us surmise that all of their children were born at "Millpoint" within the modern boundaries of Florida Township in Montgomery County.

Except for these two entries, I have not found any other references to a Hendrick Van Horn. Follow up: Orietje may be a diminutive form of Ortrude per family history consultant at FHL.

The book also gives some general local history per the following excerpts: "Herkimer County, in north central New York's Mohawk Valley, received its name in 1791 in memory of General Nicholas Herkimer, the Revolutionary War militia commander... There were probably in excess of 15,000 Indians in the region about the year 1700, but by the time of the American Revolution their population had eroded to about 10,000... due in part to lack of resistance to European deseases. Their numbers then fell sharply during and just after the Revolution as a result of migrations to Canada and points westward, the exodus being necessitated by the fact that most of the Iroquois, except for the Oneidas, took the British side during the War of Independence..." "As to the early Europeans, the Dutch traders of Fort Orange (now Albany) initiated commerce wtth the Mohawk Valley Indians in the early 1600s... The Dutch traded alcoholic beverages, firearms, tools, and fabrics in exchange for land and beaver hides. In 1664 the British took control of New York State and the Mohawk Valley area came under the jurisdiction of Albany County from that time until about 1774 when it became Tryon county (in 1784 the area was renamed as Montgomery county, the western portion of which was set off in 1791 as Herkimer County). In modern times, Herkimer County bounded by Oneida County on the west and by Montgomery and Fulton Counties on the east. Prior to 1760 there was only limited settlement by the Dutch or English to the west of Schenectady, since the Mohawk region was vulnerable to incursion of the French and their Indian allies from Canada..." [N.B. Tryon was changed to Montgomery because Tryon followed the Tory cause whereas Montgomery was a patriot.] "With the exception of a few families, such as the Fondas, Schuylers, and Van Slykes, the Dutch and English seem to have been little induced to settle the Mohawk Valley, and so the opportunity fell to a group of immigrant Germans from the Palatinate, or lower Rhineland area in central Europe. Several thousand of these Palatines had left their German homelands, being much reduced in circumstance after years of warfare with France, and had gone to England at Queen Anne's invitation in 1709... The English temporarily housed many of these people in tents outside London and early in 1710 about 2,000 were placed aboard ships for passage to the American colonies, being promised land in New York in exchange for work in Hudson River camps, to be set up for the production of pitch for use in sealing naval vessels. There were delays in embarking and the Palatines were crowded into undersized and ill provisioned ships so that the Atlantic Ocean crossing itself became a tragedy in which, by New York Gov. Hunter's account, some 466 of them perished. From 1710 to 1712 the German immigrants required government subsidy, and the payment records by Gov. Hunter to heads of households survive (as in Knittle) and are referred to throughout this book as the NY Palatine Subsistence List. The pitch operations having failed, the Germans had to fend for themselves, moving for a while to contested lands in the Schoharie Valley west of Albany." "The Palatines remained a displaced people without land entitlement until September 1721 when the Albany City council endorsed their petition to purchase Mohawk Valley land, not closer to Albany then 40 miles west of Ft. Hunter. Then on October 16, 1721, New York Governor William Burnet, presumably wishing ot see buffer settlements of a friendly population in the central Mohawk area, granted the appropriate license, which allowed the Palatines, in 1722, to purchase land form the Indians in the vicinity of where the West Canada creek flows into the Mohawk River. Upon completion of the survey of these lands in 1723, and in resposne to the request of Palatine leaders Joseph Petrie and Conrad Richaert, the deeds were prepared under the designation of the Brunetsfield Patent. At about the same time, other Palatines received land grants at Stone Arabia and elsewhere in the Mohawk Valley... the Burnetsfield Patentees... were wholly within the present county of Herkimer [as opposed to other area Palentines in other parts of the Valley]..." "From 1723 onwards, until the French and Indian Wars commenced, [the area] was generally at peace and the residents prospered to the extent that some writers have termed the community almost utopian. Wheat grew abundantly in the fertile soil and the accumulation of livestock and goods was extensive..." "At 3 a.m. on Nov. 12, 1757, disaster struck German Flats [as Herkimer was then known] in the form of a surprise raid by a French and Indian war party... 40 killed, 150 prisoners, and much booty taken... After the 1757 devastation there were periods of relief such as the negotiated return of some prisoners in 1758 and the building, in that same year, of Ft. Stanwix as a protective outpost about 35 miles west of German Flats. With the French surrender to english forces at Montreal in 1760, relative peace was restored to the Mohawk Valley, although occasional difficulties with the Indians required that the settlers mantain a more viglant militia than had been required in earlier years..." "Of particular note to the modern-day researcher is the fact that many of the early... families both moved and visited up and down the Mohawk Valley, thereby necessitatiing the search of church records over a wide geographic area for the presence of relevant marriage and baptism entires. Of note also is the information value of the baptismal sponsors, as those individuals were usually of the same generation (except when a grandparent would be sponsor for a grandchild of the same given name) and most often were brothers or sisters of the parents." "The second devastation to fall upon.. the surrounding... area came formalignments brought about by the American War of Independence. The British enrolled most of the area Indians, plus several Mohawk Valley settlers as well, to the Tory cause, and in August 1777 the bloody battle of Oriskany pitted former neighbor against neighbor... Oriskany turned the British back to Canada momentarily, but a year later they were back in a more nefarious form of military tactic, that of the hit and run assault on isolated settlements. From 1778 through 1782, the British waged a war of attrition in the Mohawk Valley, with members of raiding parties paid eight dollars for each scalp taken, regardless of the victim's combative status, sex, or age... Sometimes the settlers had to scramble quickly into the forts..." "By the end of the American Revolution, the... region was severely depleted in manpower and resources and a new phase of rebuilding began with the expansion westward of New Englanders, who were lured by the open lands of northern New York which had become available with the departure of the Indians. The resultant shift in population base was evident in the 1790 census when about a third of the... area people appear to be new arrivals of English extraction..." 3.

The book "Our Van Horne Kindred," by Elsie O. Hallenback, 1958, copy in the Montgomery County NY Archives: "Cornelius Van Horne, oldest child of Mathias Van Horne and Nelly Crumm, was born in Upper Freehold, NJ on March 10, 1745. When a young man he came to Warrensbush, Tryon Co., NY where he worked for Philip Frederick who had a grist mill and saw mill at Mill Point, along the Schoharie Creek. Philip Frederick was the son of Peter Frederick, a Palatine who had been driven out of south-west Germany during a religious persecution, and emigrated to Mill Point where he settled and raised his family. Accoriding to the records of the old Dutch Reformed Church of Schoharie, NY, he and Sophia Saltz, daughter of Francis Saltz, were registered for marriage on Nov. 11, 1752. Francis Saltz was another early settler along the Schoharie Creek, about five miles above its entrance into the Mohawk River. In heh History of Montgomery County, it states 'that one Francis Saltz and Cornelius (Boss) Putman purchased the Shucksburg Patent of 1200 acres of land along the Schoharie Creek, Mr. Saltz taking the half farthest up the creek, and Mr. Putman the lower half. Mr. Saltz later on sold part of this land to his son-in-law by the name of McCreavy; another part to his son-in-law named Young; another part to Philip Frederick, a fourth part to Michael Marlett and the remaining 200 acres he deeded to Peter Crush [Grosch] if he would marry his crippled daughter who had never been able to walk. Mr. Crush accepted this offer, and after building a home on the land, carried his wife to it on his back.' There is another story regarding Francis Saltz in which he purchased a millstone from Sir William Johnson for a song. The only saw and grist mill at that time was owned by Sir William, and it was on the north side of the Mohawk River which was a long ways for farmers to carry their grain. Mr. Saltz heard that Sir William had a used millstone on hand and purchased it on two years credit. When the two years were up, he journeyed to the home of Sir William in Fort Johnson, NY and there 'found him entertaining some grand company.' Sir William knew that Mr. Saltz was a good singer, so asked him to sing for his guests, but Mr. Saltz was rather diffident about doing it until Sir William told him that if his singing suited him, he would cancel his debt for the millstone. He sang several songs but Sir William was silent about his bargain, so finally Mr. Saltz brought out his wallet and sang 'Money bag, money bag, yu must come out, as the man he will be paid.' All the guests immediately burst into laughter and so did Sir William, so Mr. Saltz was able to return to his home with all his money intact. Mr. Saltz was a very kind-hearted man and when Mr. and Mrs. Coss, the parents of a neighboring family both died suddenly, he took the children into his home until they grew up. When he was about ninety years old, he married one of these orphaned girls and invited the whole neighborhood to the wedding. About a year later, his bride eloped with his hired man, taking all his silver money which he had hidden in a small hair trunk, This trunk is still in possession of his family. Cornelius Van Horne married Eve Frederick, the fifth child of Philip Frederick and Sophia Saltz, and they built a home on the opposite side of the Schoharie Creek from that of her parents. There is an old lease in existence dated May 6, 1792 for this land which was in the very north-east section of the Corry Patent and in the Town of Glen, Montgomery County. It was given to Cornelius Van Horne by Silvanus Wilcox, and the witnesses where Thomas B. Vinman and Abraham Vootsik. During the Revolutionary War, Cornelius served as a private in the Third Regiment of the Tryon County Militia and his name is inscribed on the monument at Oriskany where a battle was fought which was one of the turning points in the war. Cornielius died on Feb. 6, 1823 leaving a will dated Jan. 9, 1818 (Wills of Montgomery County). Eve Frederick, his wife, who was born Aug. 8, 1756 died on Nov. 1, 1830, and they are both buried in the van Horne Family Cemetery on his farm. [Children:] A. Sophia Brouwer, b. 9 Dec 1776; m.

His mother and most of the siblings eventually join him there. His brothers joined him in the militia during the Rev. War. 6. From the book "Van Horne Family in America, 1634-1888," by Abram L. Van Horne, copy in the Montgomery County NY Archives, p. 24: "Cornelius Van Horne, b. 10 May 1745, son of Matthew, when of age 21 emigrated to Montgomery Co., New York. He was the fourth son Matthew. He giered out to Philip Frederick who owned a grist and sawmill on Schoharie Creek, about five miles above its entrance into the Mohawk River, and the next year married his daughter Eve, and located on the opposite side of thecreek, in the town of Glen, where after few years his mother, who was Nelly Crum, and six of her children came and grew up and married.

The James Adair who was part of Marion's band was not of Laurens Co. nor was John's father James old enough to have served in the War of Independence, yet we are certain that this John is correctly placed due to the correlation of his birth date as compared with his tombstone and the LDS Temple records as reported by his cousins. John's father James may have had a previous wife before Rebecca if this account of John's mother's death is correct.] "Graves Co. "The Adair Family. The Adairs are among the oldest families of Graves County. They came originally from Ireland, and settled in one of the Atlantic States a number of years before the war of the Revolution. The family originally settled in South Carolina, where James Adair, grandfather of Turner Adair, distinguished himself in the war of Independence as a member of the celebrated Marion's band. Late in life he settled in Alabama, where he died about the year 1839 or 1840. His son, John Adair, was left an orphan, when but three weeks old, by the death of his mother. He made his home with the families of his aunt and grandfather, and at an early age was apprenticed to the blacksmith trade, which he followed all his life. He was married in 1820 to Margaret Wilson, by whom he had thirteen children, whose names are as follows: James McConathy, Elizabeth, Jane, Turner, Martha C., Sarah A., James H., S.B., John P., Joseph B., Margaret P., Mary P. and Virginia P. In the year 1830 Mr. Adair came to Graves County, Ky., and settled in Lynnville Precinct on the place where his widow now resides. He died June 4, 1878. Turner Adair, third child of John Adair, and eldest member of the family now living, was born in 1825 in Lawrence [sic] District, S.C. He remained with his parents until twenty-two years of age, when he engaged in farming for himself, which occupation he continued until 1849, when he joined a company of young men as daring as himself, and made an overland trip to California for the purpose of engaging in mining. He participated in all the active scenes of that exciting period, and was fairly successful in his quest of fortune. He returned home in 1858, and at once resumed farming, which he still follows. Mr Adair has never married and at the present time lives with his mother on the old homestead." D. "Elizabeth McClure Wilson [mother of Margaret (Wilson) Adair] is also buried in Graves Co, KY ...

So they did not die on the same date. (p. 721). Further, when Sara died, her daughter, Blanche, was granted administration of Sara's estate on 12 June 1626, nearly 20 years later.

The following partial excerpt concerning the three immigrant sisters of John White is found in the biographical sketch for John White in "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," Volumes I-III (see his notes for full transcript): "JohnWHITE Origin: Messing, Essex Migration: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150]...

Bibliographic Note: In 1901 "A Descendant" published an excellent article on the White family in England, and the connections to other New England immigrants [NEHGR 55:22-31]. In 1915 Frank Farnsworth Starr prepared the best account in print of the immigrant and his children [Goodwin Anc 2:395-419]." 7. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken: "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield... According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born. It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford." In the Loomis Genealogy, pages 9-11, evidence is given proving that Joseph Loomis, of Braintree in England, came to Boston in 1638, and settled in Windsor in 1639. It is believed that this Joseph Loomis is the Joseph Loomis whose marriage, June 30th, 1614, to Mary White, is recorded in the Parish Register of Shalford, and this theory is supported by the bequest in 1617 of Robert White to my "daughter Marie, the wife of Joseph Lummis of Brantree." The home lots of Joseph Loomis and John Porter in Windsor were adjacent, and these two sisters, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, began in 1639 new homes side by side, in which they lived the rest of their days. Three years before, in 1636, their brother John White, and their sister Elizabeth (White) Goodwin, had settled in Hartford... It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the "Lion" in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of 200 pounds should be reduced to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the "Lion," given in Drake's Founders of New England, page 12, his name follows next after the name of William Goodwin. [Footnote included after the work "Lion": "We know the name of the vessel from Gov. Winthrop's Hist. N.E., vol. I, p. 107."] His wife's name was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted lease in the handwriting of his son Nathaniel White (now in the possession of one of his descendants), dated March 28, 1666, the lessors being John White and Mary his wife, the lessee their son Nathaniel; the premises, his house and garden, etc., in Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of the lives of said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whether said John or said Mary... It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely: Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860. The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875. Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880. The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891. John Porter and his descendants, in 1893. Memorials of Roderick White and descendants, in 1892.

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

The book "Colonial Ancestors. Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]: "Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1] Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2] Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3] A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut. In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6] The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles. Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley." 12. The book "Ancestors and Descendants of Thomas Rice Lyon and his wife Harriet Wade Rice with related families," by Patty Barthell Myers (2003), pp. 448-51: "JOSEPH LOOMIS, b. Eng., c1590; d. Windsor, Conn., 25 Nov 1658. He m. Messing, County Essex, England 30 Jun 1614 MARY WHITE. She was bpt. Shalford, England, 24 Aug 1590; d. Windsor, Conn., 23 Aug 1652, d/o Robert White and Bridget Allgar of Messing. Joseph Loomis was a woolen draper in Braintree, Essex Co., England; sailed from London 11 Apr 1638 in the Susan and Ellen, and arrived at Boston 17 Jul 1638, living for about a year at Dorchester, Mass. It is mentioned in the town records of Windsor, Vol. 1, that on the 2d of Feb., 1640, he had granted him from the Plantation 21 acres adjoining Farmington Aver, on the west side of the Connecticut river; also several large tracts of land on the east side of the Connecticut, partly from the town and partly by purchase. He probably came to Windsor in the summer or autumn of 1639, and he is generally supposed to have come in the company with Rev. Ephraim Huet, who arrived at Windsor 17 Aug 1639. He brought with him five sons, all of whom were freemen 7 Oct 1669, and three daughters. The marriages of these children are recorded in the town records of Windsor, as were the births of their children, but as the dates of birth of Joseph's children are not recorded, it is difficult to determine the order of seniority. His house was situated near the mouth of the Farmington river on the "Island," so called because at every great freshet it became temporarily an island by the overflowing of the Connecticut river. In the Records of particular Court for the colony of Connecticut, Vol 2, p. 115, is recorded the agreement of the children of Mr. Joseph Loomis, respecting the division of the estate of said deceased as approved by the Court 2 Dec 1658.

(Manwaring, Charles W., A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, Hartford District. Vol. 1, 1650-1663, pp. 135-6.) It is believed that the order in which the children were named in the division of the estate indicates the relative ages of the children. Further, Joseph Loomis, the younger, and John Loomis had land granted to them from the Windsor Plantation in 1643. The other sons acquired no land until several years afterward. The marriages of the sons, as recorded at Windsor, took place in the order of the names mentioned above. i. JOSEPH2 Loomis, b. Eng. c1615; d.

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

Shalford, a small parish of Essex County, England, is located in the north middle section of the county, four and a half miles northwest of Braintree, the nearest railroad town, and has a population of about 700. The writer visited this parish in August 1891, made an examination of the Church Register which begins in 1558, and found many interesting items. In the record of baptisms are found: 1560 Sept. 9, Mary Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1562 Mar. 11, Brydgette Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1565 Apr. 6, Jdhn Allgar son of William Allgar 1567 Oct. 5, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1583 May 5, Elizabeth Allgar daughter of William Allgar In the record of burials: 1565 Aug. 1, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1575 Aug. 2, William Allgar the elder The following entries were found in the record of marriages: 1575 Oct 16, Henry Bette son of John the elder and Anne Allgar 1582 Sept. 27, Ralfe Bette and Marye Allgar 1585 June 24, Robert Whighte and Brydgett Allgar The last entry gives us the marriage of Robert White and Bridget Allgar; the daughter of William Allgar of Shalford. Of White's parentage and earlier history we have no knowledge. He seems to have resided at Shalford until after November 7, 1616, the date of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Goodwin then of Bocking, Essex County, later of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other towns in New England. In May 1617, he was a resident of Messing in the same county when he made his will, and where he was buried on the 17th of June following. Thus far, there has not been discovered any record of the death of his wife Bridget, but she is supposed to be the person of that name, to whom one Nathaniel White of Faring, Essex County, in his will made June 9, 1623, left a life annuity of £ 10.

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

In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6] The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles. Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley."

Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield...

In 1915 Frank Farnsworth Starr prepared the best account in print of the immigrant and his children [Goodwin Anc 2:395-419]." 5. NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken: "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. ...It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford." The marriage of John Porter of Felsted to Anna White of Messing, 18th October, 1620, is found in the Parish Register of Messing. The baptisms of their children, beginning with Anna, September 21, 1621, their first born, down to Mary, October 1st, 1637, the last one there baptized are recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted. They probably went to Messing soon after this date, as the baptism of their daughter Anna (who is supposed to have died in infancy), November 4, 1638, is there recorded. These facts, taken in connection with the information concerning his family contained in the will of John Porter dated April 20th, 1648, and also in the Town Records of Windsor, are regarded as good and sufficient authority for the statement that this John Porter of Felsted and John Porter of Windsor, Conn., were the same person. The names of his children in his will (omitting his two eldest daughters) are the same and in the same order of seniority as the baptisms in Felsted, except that in his will he names first all his sons, and then all his daughters. Two of his children, as already stated, were born in Windsor, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna (Anna) in 1642. His two eldest daughters were not mentioned in his will because he had given them their portions at their marriage, as appears from the report hereinafter given of the Committee to the Court in Hartford in 1650, recommending that their portions be made equal to the portions given to their younger sisters. These two eldest daughters were Anna, who married February 24, 1644-5, William Gaylord; and Sarah, who married October 24, 1644, Joseph Judson. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record gives the death in 1648 of Rose Porter, who was buried 12th of May, 1648, doubtless that one of the younger daughters whose death is referred to in the report of the Committee. The burial of their first Samuel is recorded in the Parish Register of Felsted... It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely: Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860. The Loomis Genealogy, in 1875. Loomis Genealogy, female branches, in 1880. The Goodwin's of Hartford, Conn., in 1891. John Porter and his descendants, in 1893.

Abstract of the Will of John Porter, dated April 20, 1648, proved 7 June, 1649. [Vol. LV. 3] "I give to my eldest son John Porter 100 pounds, and to my second son Jeames Porter I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel Porter, Nathaniel Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Anna Porter, I give to each of them thirty pounds apiece...

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

Henry Porter Andrews (Saratoga Springs, 1893), vol. 1, pp. 1-2, 818-19: "Among the early settlers of New England, in the great tide of emigration from England, subsequent to the granting of the charter for the colony of Massachusetts Bay, in 1628, came John Porter... This company reached the Connecticut river at a place called by the natives Matteneang, but to which the settlers gave the name of Windsor, many of their number being natives of the place of that name in England. In 1639 the Rev. Ephraim Hewett, of Wraxhall, in Kenilworth, Eng., was called to assist Mr Warham, and it is probable that John Porter accompanied him, as at about that date his name first appears upon the public records. John Porter's residence in Windsor appears to have been located near the "Little River," at its junction with the Connecticut, and between the residences of George Phelps and Joseph Loomis, and nearly opposite those of Henry Wolcott and Matthew Allyn. He was for that period a man of considerable substance, as appears by his will printed in the public records of Connecticut. (See appendix, No. 3) He died in Windsor April 22, 1648; his wife, Rose, having died in July, 1647, (See appendix, No. 2.) Their children were (being of the second generation:) -John Porter, born in England, 1620, married Mary Stanley. -Sarah Porter, born in England, 1622, married Joseph Judson. -Anna Porter, born in England, 1624, married William Gaylord. -Samuel Porter, born in England, 1626, married Hannah Stanley. -Rebecca Porter, born in England, 1628, died unmarried -Mary Porter, born in England, 1630, married Samuel Grant. -Rose Porter, born in England, 1632, died May 12, 1648. -Joseph Porter, born in England, 1638, married Sarah Tudor. - Nathaniel Porter, born Feb. 29, 1640, married Anna Groves. -Hannah Porter, born Sep. 4, 1642, married John Coleman. APPENDIX II: Extract from a letter of Rev I. N. TARBOX, D.D. Boston, Mass., July 17, 1884. Henry Porter Andrews, Esq. Dear Sir: I received your kind note this morning, and it occurs to me to say what perhaps I said to you by letter, some time since, though I am not quite certain. Mr. John Porter seemingly had affinities with the Dorchester company, before it left England. He did not come over with it in 1630, nor did he join it while it remained in Dorchester, 1630-1636. He first appears at Windsor, Conn., with his wife and Children, in the year 1637, and was at once treated as a man known an respected. He was put upon a committee in 1637, and was made a constable in 1639, then a high and responsible office. All the facts connected with him during his life at Windsor, indicate plainly that he was a man of substance and standing. Many years ago I read his will, and wondered why his wife is not mentioned in it. I accepted the record of Mr. Stiles, that she died on the 12th May following, and so she would naturally have been named in such a document, but no trace of her appears in it. ...the present town clerk of Windsor ... John B. Woodford, Esq. ... was speaking … about John Porter's will, and the curious fact that his wife was not mentioned... he said that among certain errors which he had discovered in "Stiles," he thought there was one pertaining to John Porter and family... he showed... from the very early records that the Rose Porter, who was buried May 12, 1648, was the dau. of John Porter, and that his wife died in July, 1647. I think that the dates I have given here, as to John Porter's arrival in this country, the date of his death, and those of his wife and daughter, will be found correct. Very truly yours. Increase N. Tarbox." APPENDIX: III.— Will of John Porter. A particular courte in Hartford, Conn, June 7, 1649. This day was presented to this courte, the last will and testament of John Porter, late of Wyndsor, deceased, and the inventory of his estate, Anno 1648, Apl. 20. Imprimis. This is the last will and testament made by me, John Porter, of Wyndsor. Although now weake and sick in body, yet perfect it memory, do bequeathe my soule to God that gave it, and my body to be buried, and my goods as followeth: Item. I give to my eldest son, John Porter, one hundred pounds, and to my second son, James Porter, I give three score pounds, and to my other six children, to wit: Samuel. Porter, Rebecca Porter, Rose Porter, Mary Porter, Sarah Porter and Anna Porter, I give to them thirty pounds apiece, which is to raised out of my whole estate, as housings, lands, cattle and household goods, and is to be paid as they come to be twenty years of age, or sooner if my overseers see just cause, without whose consent I would not have them to manage; which if they do, it shall be in the power of my overseers to abate of their portions, and give it to the others that are more deserving. And in case of any of my children die before they he married or be twenty years of age, their portion shalt he equally divided amongst the rest, unless the overseers see cause to abate it upon the eldest. In case my estate shall he found upon particular view, to rise to be more in value than these portions above given, or less than the sum, my will is that it shall be proportionally added or rebated to my children's several portions except my overseers see cause to abate my eldest son, that hath the biggest portion, or likewise my second. The particular goods wherein each child shall have his portion paid out of my whole estate, I leave to the direction of my overseers. My son, Joseph Judson, is to take twenty shillings of Thomas Thornton, next winter. Also, I give fifty shillings to Wyndsor church. My desire is that my beloved friends would be the overseers of this my last will and testament, Mr. Warham of Wyndsor, Mr. Goodwin of Hartford, Goodman White of Hartford, and Matthew Griswold of Wyndsor.

FHL book "Various Ancestral Lines … Goodwin and … Morgan …," by Frank Farnsworth Starr (1915; Hartford), pp. 395-399: "The Family of Robert White. Shalford, a small parish of Essex County, England, is located in the north middle section of the county, four and a half miles northwest of Braintree, the nearest railroad town, and has a population of about 700. The writer visited this parish in August 1891, made an examination of the Church Register which begins in 1558, and found many interesting items. In the record of baptisms are found: 1560 Sept. 9, Mary Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1562 Mar. 11, Brydgette Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1565 Apr. 6, Jdhn Allgar son of William Allgar 1567 Oct. 5, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1583 May 5, Elizabeth Allgar daughter of William Allgar In the record of burials: 1565 Aug. 1, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1575 Aug. 2, William Allgar the elder The following entries were found in the record of marriages: 1575 Oct 16, Henry Bette son of John the elder and Anne Allgar 1582 Sept. 27, Ralfe Bette and Marye Allgar 1585 June 24, Robert Whighte and Brydgett Allgar The last entry gives us the marriage of Robert White and Bridget Allgar; the daughter of William Allgar of Shalford. Of White's parentage and earlier history we have no knowledge. He seems to have resided at Shalford until after November 7, 1616, the date of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Goodwin then of Bocking, Essex County, later of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other towns in New England. In May 1617, he was a resident of Messing in the same county when he made his will, and where he was buried on the 17th of June following. Thus far, there has not been discovered any record of the death of his wife Bridget, but she is supposed to be the person of that name, to whom one Nathaniel White of Faring, Essex County, in his will made June 9, 1623, left a life annuity of £ 10. (Commissary Court of London for Essex and Herts., vol. for 1623-4, 158.) The following is a copy of Robert White's will, as entered in the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, volume Weldon, 40... [Article transcribes will; however, I do not copy it since I already have a transcript of it in a separate note.] It will be interesting to note that of the daughters mentioned in this will, three with their husbands, became residents of New England, as follows: Mary, wife of Joseph Loomis of Windsor, Connecticut Elizabeth, wife of William Goodwin of Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; Hadley, Massachusetts, and Farmington, Connecticut Anne, wife of John Porter of Windsor, Connecticut.

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

NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken: "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield... According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born. There was a James Bowtell of Salem and Lynn, 1635, freeman 14 March, 1639. His will, dated 22 August, proved 26 November, 1651, mentions wife Alice, sons James and John and daughter Sarah. See Essex Ins. Hist. Coll., Val. I., page 9, for abstract of this will. No connection has been discovered between this testator and Robert Whites's son-in-law, James Bowtell...

FHL book "Various Ancestral Lines … Goodwin and … Morgan …," by Frank Farnsworth Starr (1915; Hartford), pp. 395-399: "The Family of Robert White. Shalford, a small parish of Essex County, England, is located in the north middle section of the county, four and a half miles northwest of Braintree, the nearest railroad town, and has a population of about 700. The writer visited this parish in August 1891, made an examination of the Church Register which begins in 1558, and found many interesting items. In the record of baptisms are found: 1560 Sept. 9, Mary Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1562 Mar. 11, Brydgette Allgar daughter of William Allgar 1565 Apr. 6, Jdhn Allgar son of William Allgar 1567 Oct. 5, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1583 May 5, Elizabeth Allgar daughter of William Allgar In the record of burials: 1565 Aug. 1, John Allgar son of William Allgar 1575 Aug. 2, William Allgar the elder The following entries were found in the record of marriages: 1575 Oct 16, Henry Bette son of John the elder and Anne Allgar 1582 Sept. 27, Ralfe Bette and Marye Allgar 1585 June 24, Robert Whighte and Brydgett Allgar The last entry gives us the marriage of Robert White and Bridget Allgar; the daughter of William Allgar of Shalford. Of White's parentage and earlier history we have no knowledge. He seems to have resided at Shalford until after November 7, 1616, the date of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Goodwin then of Bocking, Essex County, later of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other towns in New England. In May 1617, he was a resident of Messing in the same county when he made his will, and where he was buried on the 17th of June following. Thus far, there has not been discovered any record of the death of his wife Bridget, but she is supposed to be the person of that name, to whom one Nathaniel White of Faring, Essex County, in his will made June 9, 1623, left a life annuity of £ 10. (Commissary Court of London for Essex and Herts., vol. for 1623-4, 158.) The following is a copy of Robert White's will, as entered in the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, volume Weldon, 40... [Article transcribes will; however, I do not copy it since I already have a transcript of it in a separate note.] It will be interesting to note that of the daughters mentioned in this will, three with their husbands, became residents of New England, as follows: Mary, wife of Joseph Loomis of Windsor, Connecticut Elizabeth, wife of William Goodwin of Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; Hadley, Massachusetts, and Farmington, Connecticut Anne, wife of John Porter of Windsor, Connecticut. We have no knowledge of his son Daniel, except that he was made one of the executors of the will; possibly, he was the child of a previous marriage. Child of Robert and ___ White: -Daniel bap. ___ legatee and executor of the will of his father; nothing further known about him. Children of Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White (Church Register, Shalford, Essex County, England): -Sarah, bap. Mar 8, 1585, mar.

Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]: "Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1] Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2] Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3] A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut.

There is a burial recorded in Ightham for "Thomas James, Gentleman," who is very likely this person -- if not, it could possibly by his uncle Thomas James. This is the only Thomas James that occurs in this parish so it seems unlikely to be the uncle. 2.

Church Membership: Admission to Dorchester church prior to 5 November 1633 implied by freemanship. Freeman: 5 November 1633 (as "Mr. Will[ia]m Hill") [MBCR 1:368]. Education: His inventory at Fairfield included "books" valued at £2. Offices: Dorchester selectman, 2 October 1636 [DTR 19].

Connecticut jury, 2 December 1647 [RPCC 49, 50]. Estate: Granted four acres in Dorchester, 5 August 1633 [DTR 2]; received Lot #2, six acres, and/or Lot #14, five acres, in meadow beyond Naponset (both listed as for "Mr. Hill," and only William had that honor at Dorchester in the early 1630s) [DTR 321]; granted "that parcel of ground adjoining to his former lot between it and John Iles," 6 January 1633/4 [DTR 5]; granted nine acres (in place of an earlier grant of twelve acres), 2 November 1635 [DTR 13]; granted two acres marsh, 27 June 1636 [DTR 16]; seven acres added to an earlier grant, and also to hold land about Rocky Hill in common, 5 July 1636 [DTR 18]; granted one lot slightly smaller than eight acres and one lot slightly larger than eight acres in division of 18 March 1637/8 [DTR 30]. On 20 July 1638 "Mr. Hill merchant of Dorchester" sold to Edward Breck of Dorchester his homelot at the neck (four acres), a hill valued at nine acres (which he had received in place of an earlier grant of twelve acres), eleven acres of meadow (six acres which was granted to him and five acres which was granted to Thomas Marshfield), one acre at the end of Mr. Withington's lot (with the house on it and five acres of stinted commons), eight acres and ten goads in the Cow Pasture (and so on to every five hundred acres), together with common and privileges in land beyond Naponset (eight acres ten goads to every division) and "also his part of the land lately granted by the court unto the said town according to the same proportion" [DTR 34]. William Hill had also earlier sold to William Clark a small lot at the Great Neck and seven acres at Squantum Neck [DTR 37, 43]. In the Windsor land inventory on 28 October 1640 William Hill held eight parcels: "a parcel of land on the north side of the rivulet in the palisado"; "a garden plot adjoining"; two acres and a half in the Great Meadow, sixteen acres in meadow thereto adjoining; over the Great River in breadth forty rods & in length three miles (annotated "sold to Stephen Taylor"); eight acres "at Podanke in meadow with an addition of swamp" (annotated "sold to Thomas Ford"); nine acres "by the brickills" (annotated "sold to Walter Filer"); sixty acres near Paquannicke; and a parcel both within and without the palisado, abutting on the burial place (annotated "sold to David Wilton") with five acres adjoining thereunto [WiLR 1:18]. In his will, dated 9 September 1649 and proved 15 May 1650, "Mr. William Hill" bequeathed to "my beloved wife Sarah the third part of my estate"; to "my eldest daughter Sarah a silver spoon"; "my estate shall be equally divided amongst my children only my will is that my son William being my eldest son for every two parts the rest of my children have, he shall have three parts"; if any die before marriage, their share to be divided among the rest; William to receive his portion at marriage; "my beloved wife Sarah" executor and power to dispose of £5 where she sees good; "Mr. Jones, Mr. George Hull and Thomas Thornton" overseers [Hartford PD Case #2723]. Thomas Thornton deposed before the court "Mr William Hill sending for me on his deathbed I went to him; being far spent when I came yet of perfect memory and understanding as I judge & acquainted me with his will by word of mouth which was thus, namely that his wife should be executrix and that she should have the thirds of that estate he had left his debts being first paid ... and his wife should have £5 to dispose of, nextly that his eldest daughter Sarah had her portion only he would give her a silver spoon, nextly that the rest of his estate should be equally divided amongst five children William, Josepth, Ignatius, Jeams & Elesibeth only in the division his eldest son William on the division should have one third which words he changed in the writing of his will ..." [Hartford PD Case #2723]. "The sum of Mr. Hill's goods in Winsor" was prepared on 24 September 1649; the items, mostly debts due to Hill, were not totalled, but did include "land called brick kills," £2, and "Henry Curtis is behind of his rent," £11 19s. 3d. The inventory of the estate of William Hill (at Fairfield) was taken 16 November 1649 and totalled £225 16s. 10d., including real estate valued at £30: "one homelot planted with apple trees," £10; and "his own homelot & other dividends," £20 [Hartford PD Case #2723]. Birth: By about 1594 (based on date of marriage), son of James Hill of Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire [FOOF 1:278-79; TAG 43:16; Waters 70-71]. Death: Fairfield between 9 September 1649 (date of will) and 24 September 1649 (date of inventory at Windsor). Marriage: St. Mary Arches, Exeter, Devonshire, 28 October 1619 Sarah Jourdaine [TAG 43:16]; she married (2) Boston 5 January 1653[/4] Nathaniel Sowther 44] as his second wife; she married (3) after 18 January 1662/3 as his second wife Edmund Greenleaf [TAG 43:17]; she was alive as late as 19 April 1671, but was probably dead by 1 February 1673/4 [TAG 43:17]. Children: i Sarah, b. say 1620; m. Windsor 17 September 1646 Joseph Loomis [Grant 48]. ii William, b. say 1622; m. by about 1661 Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Rev. John Jones (eldest child b. about 1661; Rev. John Jones in 1665 made bequest to daughter Elizabeth Hill [FOOF 1:280-81]). iii Joseph, b. say 1624; named in father's will, 9 September 1649; no further record (not named in wills of brother-in-law, Anthony Wilson, 1662 [FOOF 1:280]; of aunt, Mary (Hill) Godwyn, 31 March 1665 [Waters 70]; or of stepfather, Edmund Greenleaf, 22 December 1668 [TAG 43:17, citing SPR 7:112]). iv IGNATIUS, b. say 1626; d. by 12 January 1675/6, when the inventory on his estate was presented by his brother Sgt. James Hill [SPR 5:315]; apparently unmarried.. v James, b. s ay 1628; m. Boston 10 April 1662 Hannah Henchman [BVR 86]. vi Elizabeth, b. say 1630; m. by about 1650 Anthony Wilson (only known child b. about 1650; in his will of about 1662 Anthony Wilson named "my mother Hill" and brothers William, Ignatius and James Hill [FOOF 1:695-96]). Associations: Sarah (Jourdaine) Hill, wife of William Hill, was sister of Mary (Jourdaine) Coggan, wife of JohnCOGGAN of Dorchester and Boston, and of Elizabeth (Jourdaine) Duncan, wife of Nathaniel DUNCAN of Dorchester; the three sisters were daughters of Ignatius Jourdaine of Exeter, Devonshire [TAG 43:14-18]. Comments: In the absence of baptisms, the children are listed here (as they were by Jacobus in FOOF) in the order they are named in their father's will. This arrangement is consistent with what is known of their later lives; also, the three surviving sons were always named in the same order when they appeared in the wills of other relatives. It has been assumed that the first child was born one year after the marriage, and the others at regular two-year intervals thereafter, although this makes Sarah and William older than they would appear to be based on their marital histories. In a letter of 14 March 1632/3, written from Exeter, Devonshire, Henry Paynter wrote to John Winthrop Jr. asking him to take notice of "Mr. Cogan and Mr. Hill and Mr. Pinny our pious and loving neighbors and good friends that now come unto you" [WP 3:109]. These would be JohnCOGGAN, William Hill and HUMPHREY PINNEY, who arrived in 1633 on the unnamed Weymouth ship [GMN 3:10]. The "Sarah Hill" on the passenger list of the Recovery in 1634 was the wife of this William Hill, perhaps accompanied by some or all of the children [NGSQ 71:171, 77:250]. On 2 September 1641 "Mr. Hill" stood bond for JohnCOGGAN when MATTHEW ALLYN successfully sued him for slander [RPCC 15, 16]. In May 1656 "Mr. Hill" was called upon to make a distribution of the estate of William Cross [RPCC 163, 166]. He acted in a similar capacity for the estate of Henry Whelpley in 1662 [RPCC 250]. On 5 March 1639/40 "Mr. Hill" was one of those who subscribed to the papers regarding the estate of the children of Thomas Newberry [RPCC 9]. As attorney for Lawrence Ellison he successfully sued Thomas Marshfield at court on 1 June 1643 [RPCC 21]." 6.

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

7334	RESEARCH_NOTES; 1. The book "Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America," by Elias Loomis; update of 1875 edition published by Elisha S. Loomis, Berea, Ohio,1908. Note - Dr. Elias Loomis died before the Supplement was published. But this third (1908) edition contains all new materials which he had collected, along with all new data collected and obtainable since his death. From Preface: 'While we have retained unbroken Dr. Elias Loomis's historical account of Joseph Loomis, his origin and his name, as set forth under the heading, Historical Data, p. 21, yet we deem it best to add such supplementary facts as have come to light since 1875, especially as touching the name Loomis. Indeed it is very doubtful if our ancestral name originated in the way Dr. Loomis surmised, as the investigations of Prof. C. A. Hoppin, Jr., hereinafter given, seem to show. That Joseph's great-grandfather died at Thaxted, Eng., in the year 1551, is now proved as evidenced by Thaxted church records. But whence came his ancestors, what was the origin of the name, and what is our right to a coat-of-arms? These queries are raised and discussed in Prof. Hoppin's scholarly report to which the reader is referred. Evidently our antecedents are not Royal, but something far better, viz., clean, God-fearing, industrious men of respect and influence - men of character and back-bone.'"

7337	RESEARCH_NOTES; 1. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D16-D17: “DIRCK STOFFELS LANGESTRAET immigrated in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Stuyvesant as Director of the province, two years after the erection of the church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the province by Nicholls. He settled at Flatlands (Amersfoort); and this fact, since the village was of less consequence than either Flatbush (only three miles may) or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited and named it presumably came, renders it probable that Langestraets were from Utrecht. However that may be, Dirck (or Richard, in the English) was in 1677, a member of the Flatlands church, sitting under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Zuuren. He may have been for years before that an active member of the church, and probably was; for it must be remembered that the lists in the Flatbush record begin with the year 1677. In 1687, in September, thirteen years after the first cession of the province to England, there was a general administration of an oath of allegiance to the British Crown to all of the Dutch people; and with the others, Dirck took that oath at Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693, and on a census roll of 1698. After this his name occurs no more on the Long Island records and it is thought that he moved to Monmouth county, New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after his arrival in this province, he married CATHARINA VAN LIEUWEN; afterward, in his older age, some time before, but not far from, February 13, 1690, he married Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. An ante-nuptial agreement made with this second wife is still to be found in the town records of Gravesend; and in it reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen. At an early period, date now unknown, he had bought land at Shrewsbury in New Jersey, which he devised by his will to his son Richard. By his first wife Catherina, he had issue as follows: (1) Stoffel Dircksen, of whom hereafter. (2) Claasje Dircksen, born about 1672 and who married Abraham Lott, of Jamaica. (3) Adrian, baptised September 16, 1677. (Adrian; bapt. Sept. 16, 1677; married Christina Janse 1707.

He was the first of all those interrelated families to come over. He preceded the Langestraets by five years and the Lanen Van Pelts by eleven years. Not much is known about Frederick Van Lieuwen. He came from Utrecht, having been probably a resident of Leuwen, which is a village in Gelderland, located on the Waal River. He brought his family with him and settled in the village of Jamaica, located on Long Island. He had a total of nine children, many of whose descendants are still in Somerset County, New Jersey. History does not record all their names, however we do know the following: (Sources: "EARLY SETTLERS OF KINGS COUNTY," Bergen, pages 343-344) CHILDREN: -Jan Frederick Van Lieuwen.

The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-15: “… the first comers were the family of Van Lieuwen, in 1652, in the year when Van Tromp was parading the English Channel with his broom aloft, seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first congregation on Long Island. Next came the Longstreets, in 1657, five years later, and two years after the building of the church at Flatbush. Then arrived the family of Lanen van Pelt, in 1666, the year before the English seizure of the province, and fourteen years before the organization of the church at New Utrecht. Although the family of Van Lieuwen preceded the Longstreets by five years, and the natural course of historical statement would therefore demand that account be first given of them, yet the logical arrangement of a genealogical narrative requires that the Longstreets be given precedence: they are the main branch, and any other course would beget confusion. By way of preliminary, a statement in respect to Dutch names is needed. They then made but little use of family names. Many of them had none. Even in the most formal and important documents men are frequently designated by their Christian names alone; and that, where they were possessed of patronymics. It was, however, the custom to add to a man's own Christian name that of his father. These peculiarities cause much trouble, in tracing genealogies. There is one drawback on this difficulty, however, which is that the name of a person, as written, usually gives the Christian name of his father; thus Stoffel Dircks, means Stoffel the son of Dirck; Thys Janse means Thys the son of Jan. The terminations used for this purpose were various, but principally these: s, z, es, se, ces, en, sz.” 3.

Children: Caty, b. 2 Oct 1816 Nancy, b. 1819 Anna, b. 8 apr 1821." BIRTH: 1. The actual birth place is unknown. Both Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young were of Warrensbush (now Florida Township) in Montgomery Co. They both did eventually end up in Johnstown, which is about 10 miles max from Mill Point and north across the Mohawk River. When they moved is not known except that they did buy land there at Keck Center in 1792. They may have been paying quit-rent on the property before then since it was about the early 1790 when many of the landowners were finally selling the quit-rented land. Alida Reed in her booklet already referenced elsewhere in these note indicates she believes they moved there shortly after the birth of their first child Peter. She is confident that it may have been no later than when Margaret was born in 1785 because the sponsors at Margaret's birth were Jacob Bossert and his wife Margaret. She says, "In the geneology of the Bossart family (sometimes spelled Boshart and Bushart) we find the first of that family did live in the section of Johnstown that leads to Fonda. So they were probably neighbors." I currently use "of Warrensbush." MARRIAGE: 1.

His e-mail address is ; note reference to Samuel Gillet's children at the end of the will [Is this the father of Hannah Dickinson?]: "Little is known of Nathaniel's activities in England. He was no doubt educated, signing the Billingborough bishop's transcript of 1633/4 with a firm hand. He was accordingly appointed town clerk both in Wethersfield and Hadley. Nathaniel arrived in Wethersfield, CT between 26 June 1636, when his daughter was baptized at Billingborough, and July 1638, when his son was born at Wethersfield. It is difficult to say what influences led Nathaniel to emigrate. Perhaps he heard the Puritan doctrines from Rev. Simon Bradstreet, vicar of Horbling from 1696 to 1621. Rev. Bradstreet's son Simon went to Massachusetts in 1630 and rose to prominence in the government of the Bay Colony. Twelve miles to the east of Horbling and Billingborough, Rev. John Cotton expounded his Puritan views from the pulpit at Boston until he fled to New England in 1633. Nathaniel apparently spent little if any time in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and he was not among the Watertown contingent that settled Wethersfield in 1635. Nathaniel held many positions of trust in the communities of Wethersfield and Hadley. He served on the jury of the Particular Court in 1642. After several years as de facto town clerk of Wethersfield, he was officially appointed to the office in 1645. He held this position until 1659, when he removed to Hadley, Massachusetts. Nathaniel Dickinson served as deputy to the Connecticut General Court from 1646 to 1659. He was elected selectman of Wethersfield in 1646. His homestall consisted of a house, barn, and three acres of land in March 1649. In May 1653 he was a member of the committee to direct a contemplated expedition against the Dutch, and in October 1654 Nathaniel was one of the commissioners appointed to consult with the constables of the various Connecticut towns about "pressing men for the expedition into the Ninigret country." He was also active in church affairs, being a deacon of the Wethersfield church. When dissension arose in the congregations at Wethersfield, Hartford and Windsor, Nathaniel Dickinson and his son John were active in the organization of a new settlement under the leadership of Rev. John Russell. Nathaniel was one of the 59 men who signed the agreement to settle Hadley, Massachusetts, on 18 April 1659. He was selected to survey the original 59 home lots of eight acres each. In Hadley Nathaniel was again chosen town clerk in 1660. He took the freeman's oath on 26 march 1661, and the same year was a member of the committee to erect a meeting house. Soon after the establishment of Hadley, settlers began taking up land on the west side of the Connecticut River. On 21 January 1660/1 Nathaniel was a member of the committee appointed to lay out home lots on the west bank. Twenty-eight lots were surveyed for the original proprietors, among whom were sons Nathaniel, Samuel, and Obadiah, and stepson William Gull. These four were also among the petitioners for a separate township in 1667. The town of Hatfield was established in 1669. In his later years, Nathaniel, Sr., settled briefly in Hatfield but returned to Hadley shortly before his death. Nathaniel was an original member of the Hampshire Troop, organized in March 1663/4 under Capt. John Pynchon. During King Philip's War, 1675-77, Nathaniel lost three sons - John, Joseph, and Azariah. Another son, Obadiah, was captured by the Indians and taken into Canada but escaped and returned in 1679. Nathaniel served as selectman, assessor, and school trustee at times and was a deacon in the Hadley church. Nathaniel died in Hadley on 16 June 1676. He wrote his will on 29 May 1676, ten days after his son John was killed in the Turner's Falls battle. The will was proved the following 26 September, and an inventory of his estate, totaling Đ502 2s 6d, was taken on 22 December 1676. "I Nathll Dickenson Senr late of hadfeyld now of Hadley in ye County of Hampshire upon Conecticutt do make & ordane this my Last will & testement as followeth.

From the family files at the Windsor, Connecticut, Historical Society is the following typescript: "An Early Bee Hunter's Adventures. A true story by Francis McGee Thompson. The first settlement made by the English upon the 'Long' river of the Indians, the 'Fresh' river of the Dutch, now called the Connecticut, was made by William Holmes of Plymouth, who sailed into the mouth in October, 1633, and unloaded from his vessel at a point just below the mouth of Windsor river, the already prepared frame of his house. When he returned to Plymouth he took with him some of the sachems of that region, whom the Pequots had driven out. The Dutch from Manhattan had traded on the 'Long' river with the natives since 1614 and intending to forestall the English, they had early in 1633 erected a small fort where Hartford now stands, which they named 'Good Hope.' The Dutch trained the two small guns in their fort on Holmes' ship and ordered him to stop, but he told them he had commission from the Governor of Plymouth to go up the river, 'and if they did shoote, they must obey their order and proceede.' So he proceeded to his destination. Within two years, churches at Dorchester, Watertown and New Town, with their pastors, had moved bodily to the Connecticut, and settled at Windsor, Wethersfield and Hartford. Among the earliest from Dorchester to Windsor, was Jonathan Gillet, or as more frequently spelled in early times, 'Gillit.' He subsequently removed to Simsbury, and raised a family of ten children. His third son, Joseph, (bapt. 25 Jul 1641) was one of the early settlers of Deerfield, later the frontier town of the Connecticut valley, and was killed by King Philip's Indians at the massacre of Lothrop and his men at Bloody Brook, 18 Sep 1675. Samuel, younger brother of Joseph, was slain on the retreat of Capt. William Turner after the fight at Turner Falls, 19 May 1676. The next year the widow of Samuel married Stephen Jennings of Hatfield, and that same year she with two of her children, were taken prisoners to Canada. While a prisoner she became the mother of a babe whom she named Captivity Jennings. These prisoners were rescued in 1678. Joseph Gillet was the father of seven children, and his son, John, born 10 Jun 1671 was the hero of this story. [Story continues in notes of Joseph Gillet.]" 3. 20 Mar 2008 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bart/Gillet.htm: "Samuel Gillett baptized in Windsor 22 Jan. 1642/3, married Hannah Dickinson 23 Sept. 1668 in Hadley (Hatfield?), MA, killed 19 May 1676 at Turner's Falls. Samuel & Hannah settled on the frontier at Hatfield, MA. Hannah was born 6 Dec. 1648 in Wethersfield, died after 1687. She was a daughter of Sgt. John & Frances Dickinson. She married (2) Stephen Jennings in Hatfield 15 May 1677 and they removed to Brookfield, MA. Samuel and Hannah had 4 children. Samuel was with Capt. Turner at the Falls Fight at Peskeompsinson [Sheldon, George, "A History of Deerfield, Massachusetts" (1895), 2:173.] in which 37 English were lost including Samuel and Capt. Turner. [Williams, John, "The Redeemed Captive Returning to Zion" (1795/1966), 110.] Hannah had been remarried only a few months when on 19 Sept. 1677 she and her 5-year old daughter Mary and her 4-year old son Samuel were captured during an Indian attack on Hatfield. Hannah was pregnant at the time. When the authorities refused to pursue the Indians in fear of ambush, her husband and Benjamin Wait set out together to recover the captives who were headed for Canada. After a journey that lasted all winter they reached Canada in January and negotiated a ransom with the French. There Hannah had a daughter she named Captivity Jennings on 22 Jan. 1678. Hannah returned to home with her children in June 1678. [Spear, Burton W., "Search for the Passengers of the Mary & John, 1630," 5:59.] On 22 July 1710 Stephen Jennings while engaged in making hay was ambushed and killed by Indians at Brookfield. Captivity Jennings married Abigah Bartlett. He too was killed by Indians Oct. 1708. [Stiles, Henry R., "The History of Ancient Wethersfield, CT" (1904), 328.] Samuel Gillett, son of Samuel and Hannah, was born ca. 1673, married Hannah HASTINGS 9 Jan. 1697/8." 4.

Later civic assignments included assessor, fence-viewer "that fences are adequate," townsman, among others, as well as to serve on special commissions. One such searched for a minister, beginning 3 April 1688; he and eleven others (including "Danll Denton Junr") contributed expense money to bring a new minister to Jamaica.

Other projects included evicting land encroachers, investigating moneys gathered by town collectors, and reporting on town surveying work. Death was already upon him when he drew his will on 29 May 1719, proved two days later. First admitting to being "very weak and sick of body," he listed his heirs and his property holdings (New York Wills 9:176f.; WNYHS 2:219-20): "to son Nathaniel: houses and house lot he now lives on; half the land on my Neck below Jonathan Waters; half my lot at end of lane at rear of Home Lotts; piece [of land] lying by John Messingers; piece [of land] between Little Plains and land that was Benjamin Denton [identity uncertain]; all my meadow on Long Neck; 10-acre right of Commonage; 10-acre right on plains; my brown horse.

Death was already upon him when he drew his will on 29 May 1719, proved two days later. First admitting to being "very weak and sick of body," he listed his heirs and his property holdings (New York Wills 9:176f.; WNYHS 2:219-20): "to son Nathaniel: houses and house lot he now lives on; half the land on my Neck below Jonathan Waters; half my lot at end of lane at rear of Home Lotts; piece [of land] lying by John Messingers; piece [of land] between Little Plains and land that was Benjamin Denton [identity uncertain]; all my meadow on Long Neck; 10-acre right of Commonage; 10-acre right on plains; my brown horse. 'to son James: land in hollow near his house; my meadow on further East Neck if he pays his brother Robert £10 within a year; 25 acres right of pasturage; 5 acres right on the plains. "to son Robert: house and lot where he now lives; land he bought called Freemans Farm; land on hills he bought of Wait Smith; half the land that was Widow Ashman's; all his right of par-sonage in Jamaica; 5 acres rights of commonage & 5 acres rights of plains if he pays "my" son Nehemiah £20 within a year. "to sons Timothy and Nehemiah: my own house and lot; lot at rear of Thos. Smith & Capt. Carpenter home lot; lot in hills on East side path and piece on west side. "to Timothy: my shop and smith tools; £10. "to wife Elizabeth: best bed and furniture and west room; use of all land given youngest Sons till Timothy is 21. "to daughter Deborah: the East room; liberty of the cellar and well and orchard ~o long as she remains single. "to wife and two daughters Deborah and Martha: remainder of movables divided equally. to son-in-law Samuel Dean [widower of daughter Catherine]: 10sh. "to the five Sons: all his land in the Jerseys; they share the expense of securing better title. "Executor: son Nathaniel. "Overseers: Brother Foster [sister Phebe's husband] and Cousin Nehemiah Smith [first wife's nephew]. Witnesses: Samll. Smith, John Carman, Jekemiah Denton [a nephew]. On 3 October 1727, the two youngest sons received their portions (JTR 3:231-2), but the puzzling "land in the Jerseys," not mentioned earlier, never reappears in the records. The will leaves no doubt, however, that the eldest grandson of the Rev. Denton had prospered exceedingly.

Krumm notes that land purchases made by Nathaniel Denton Jr. in Jamaica indicate numerous holdings and a process of acquisition that extended throughout his life, "with a marked increase after he had inherited property from his father in 1690." He also notes that "his occupation is most frequently identified as 'yeoman' (a farmer or freeholder under the rank of gentleman), but on 23 March 1692/3, he is called 'shoomaker. ... In his will he refers to his 'shop and smith tools' as a special legacy."

ROBERT DE QUINCY, son and heir apparent. He married c.1197-1200 (date of charter) HAWISE OF CHESTER, suo jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux [see CHESTER 5 for her ancestry]. She was born in 1180. She had 10 librates of land in Waddington, land in Sibsey, and the service of three fees in Cabourn in marriage. They had one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). He and his father were captured at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217. ROBERT DE QUINCY died at London in 1217, and was buried at the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex. In the period, 1217-19, his widow, Hawise, granted a rent to the brethren of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England for the foundation of a chantry at the Hospitallers' house at Clerkenwell, Middlesex, for the soul of her husband, Robert. About 1230-1 his widow, Hawise, received a charter from her brother, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, purporting to convey to her the Earldom of Lincoln. On 27 October 1232, shortly after Ranulph's death, the King granted the 3rd penny of the county of Lincoln to Hawise as the Earl's sister and co-heiress, in consequence of which grant she may be held to have become the Countess of Lincoln. On the preliminary division of the honour of Chester, she received the castle and manor of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire, with the Earl's lands in Lindsey and Holland. As Hawise, Countess of Lincoln, she presented to the churches of Toynton All Saints, Lincolnshire, 1235, 1237; Little Steeping, Lincolnshire, 1235; a mediety of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire, 1237; and Winceby, Lincolnshire, 1233, ?1246-7. In 1241 she sued Amabel, widow of Richard Rufus, in a plea of dower in Northamptonshire. Hawise de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln, died shortly before 19 Feb. 1242/3. Brooke Cat.

HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk. Isabel, Countess of Arundel, died shortly before 23 Nov. 1282, and was buried at Marham, Norfolk. Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

7350	RESEARCH_NOTES; 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., styled "the younger," of Hanley Castle, Worcestershire, King's Chamberlain, Constable of Odiham Castle, Keeper of the castle and town of Dryslwyn, and Cantref Mawr, Carmarthenshire, Keeper of the Castle and town of Portchester, Keeper of the Castle, town and barton of Bristol, Keeper of the Castles, manor, and lands of Brecknock, Hay, Cantref Selyf, etc., Breconshire, and Huntington, Herefordshire, son and heir. He married at Westminster shortly after 14 June 1306 ELEANOR DE CLARE, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 2nd wife, Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I, King of England [see CLARE 8 for her ancestry]. She was born at Caerphilly, Glamorgan shortly before 23 Nov. 1292 (date of her mother's churching). They had five sons, Hugh, Knt. [3rd Lord le Despenser], Edward, Knt., Gilbert, Knt., John, and Philip, and five daughters, Isabel, Joan (nun at Shaftesbury Abbey), Eleanor (nun at Sempringham Priory), Margaret (nun at Whatton Priory), and Elizabeth. In 1310 he purchased the manor of Winstone, Gloucestershire from Geoffrey de Pulham. He presented to the church of Winstone, Gloucestershire in 1311. He accompanied the King to Pontoise in 1313. His wife, Eleanor, was co-heiress in 1314 to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by which she inherited the lordship of Glamorgan in Wales, including the castles of Llanblethian, Kenfeg, Neath, Llantrisant, Caerphilly, and Whitchurch, and the manor of Stanford in the Vale, Berkshire. He was summoned to Parliament from 29 July 1314 to 10 October 1325, by writs directed Hugoni le Deipenser juniori. From Nov. 1317 his influence at court rapidly increased, and, by the end of the following year, he won a lasting ascendancy over the king's mind. In 1320-1 John de Cromwell, Knt., Lord Cromwell, and his wife, Idoine, settled the manors of Amersham, Buckland, and Singleborough (in Great Horwood), Buckinghamshire, Moulton, Potterspury, and Yardley, Northamptonshire, Perlethorpe, Nottinghamshire, Winderton (in Brailes), Warwickshire, West Winterslow, Wiltshire, etc. on themselves for the life of Idoine, with successive remainders to Hugh le Despenser, Knt., the younger and Hugh le Despenser, Knt. the elder for life, and to Edward son of Hugh le Despenser, Knt the younger and his heirs. In 1320 the king seized the lordship of Gower in Wales, as a means of conferring it on him. The dispute over this seizure united a powerful group of Welsh marcher lords in a coalition against Hugh; moreover, his rule in Glamorgan was intensely unpopular with the Welsh. Civil war broke out May 4, 1321, and the lordship of Glamorgan was quickly overrun and devastated. Hugh and his father were subsequently banished by Parliament 14 August 1321. The royalist counter-offensive against the baronial opposition began in October 1321. Following the royalist victory at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2, Parliament in May 1322 reversed the sentences on the Despensers, who were allowed to return from exile. Hugh recovered the lordships of Glamorgan and Gower. From 1322 to 1326 he directed England's internal and foreign policy. By fraud and violence, he accumulated enormous possessions in both England and Wales. The revolution of 1326 was the inevitable result of the misgovernment of the Despensers. In Sept. 1326 Queen Isabel (wife of King Edward II) and Roger de Mortimer landed at Orwell, Suffolk, with a force of 700 mercenaries hired from the Count of Hainault. In a matter of weeks, the government of the Despensers collapsed. On October 2, King Edward II left London and fled to south Wales, accompanied by Hugh the younger. They were captured near Llantrisant, Glamorgan 16 Nov. 1326. SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, 2nd Lord le Despenser, was taken to Hereford, and executed there 24 Nov. 1326. In 1330 his bones were collected and buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Eleanor, was treated with remarkable leniency and her inheritance was restored to her 22 April 1328. Shortly before 26 Jan. 1328/9, she was abducted from Hanley Castle, Worcestershire and married without royal license WILLIAM LA ZOUCHE MORTIMER,* Knt., 1st Lord Zouche of Richard's Castle, of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, Fulboum and Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, and Nutboum (in Pulborough) and Treve (or River) (in Tillington), Sussex, Justice in Eyre for forest pleas in Essex, Joint Keeper of Caerphilly Castle, Keeper of Glamorgan and Morganno, Chamberlain of Cardiff, Keeper of the Tower of London, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1328, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Walthamstow, Essex, Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Wyke or Rumboldswyke (in Rurnboldswyke), Sussex, Cherhill, Newton Tony, and Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire, etc., younger son of Robert de Mortimer, of Richard's Castle and Puddlestone, Herefordshire, Burford, Milson, and Tilsop (in Burford), Shropshire, by Joyce, daughter of William la Zouche [see RICHARD'S CASTLE 3 for his ancestry] [see BEAUCHAMP 10 for the details of the remaining portion of their lives]. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and William (clerk). Sir William la Zouche Mortimer, 1st Lord Zouche of Richard's Castle, died 28 Feb. 1336/7, and was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Eleanor, died testate 30 June 1337.

In 1343 he gave a yearly rent of 10 marks from his manor of Broad Town, Wiltshire to Shaftesbury Abbey, Dorset, for the life of his sister, Joan, a nun in the Abbey. In 1344 he sued Anthony Citroun regarding waste in the manor of Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The same year he and his wife, Elizabeth, were granted an indult for a portable altar.

In 1349 he was granted an annuity of 200 marks for bearing the King's Standard against his enemies at Calais. He was summoned to Parliament from 25 Nov. 1350 to 6 Dec. 1389, whereby he is held to have become Lord Bryan.

He married (1st) after 4 March 1291 (date of letter) and before 11 May 1297 (date of papal dispensation to remain in marriage, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred) ISABEL DE CLARE, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 6th Earl of Hertford, by his 1st wife, Alice, daughter of Hugues XI le Brun (otherwise de Lusigian), Count of La Marche and Angoulême, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine brother of Henry III, King of England) [see CLARE 8 for her ancestry]. She was born 10 March 1262/3. They had no issue. He fought in the king's division at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, where he distinguished himself for bravery. In consequence of his services, the same year he was granted lands in Scotland belonging to Mowbray, Strivelyn, and Chartres. He presented to the churches of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, 1299, Acton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, 1309, Pillerton, Warwickshire, 1310, Notgrove, Gloucestershire, 1313, and Naunton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, 1313, and to the chapel of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, 1309, 1313. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Com' Warr'. Guy and his wife, Isabel, were separated in or before 1302, and subsequently divorced; she married (2nd) about 1316 MAURICE DE BERKELEY, Knt., 2nd Lord Berkeley [see BERKELEY 6 for further details of her life]. Guy served under Edward, Prince of Wales, at the Siege of Stirling Castle in 1304. For his good services, he was granted Barnard Castle, co. Durham in 1307. He attended King Edward I on his last campaign and was present at his death 7 July 1307. Sometime in the period, 1307-11, Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, and other earls and barons, while assembled in the Parliament in London, wrote to the Pope praying for the canonization of Thomas de Cantelowe, late Bishop of Hereford. He was present at the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, where he carried one of the Swords of State. He was prominent in procuring the banishment of Peter de Gavaston, Earl of Cornwall in 1308, and alone opposed his recall in 1309. Guy married (2nd) shortly before 28 Feb. 1309/10 ALICE DE TONY, widow of Thomas de Leyboume (or Leyburne), Knt., of Leybourne, Kent (died shortly before 30 May 1307), and daughter of Ralph de Tony, Knt., of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Walthamstow, Essex, Painscastle, Radnorshire, etc., by his wife, Mary [see TONY 9 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1282-5 (aged 24 or 27 in 1309). They had two sons, Thomas, K.G. [11th Earl of Warwick), and John [Lord Beauchamp], and five daughters, Maud, Emma (wife of Roland de Oddingseles), Isabel (wife of John de Clinton), Elizabeth, and Lucy (wife of Roger de Napton). Alice was heiress in 1309 to her brother, Robert de Tony, Knt., Lord Tony, by which she inherited extensive estates throughout England, including the manors of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Brinkley, Kirding, Long Stanton, and Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire, Carnanton (in Mawgan), Cornwall, Walthamstow, Essex, Necton, Little Cressingham, and Saham Toney, Norfolk, Garsington, Oxfordshire, East Bergholt, Suffolk, Newton Tony and Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire, etc. He presented to the church of Pillerton, Warwickshire in 1310. He was one of the Lords Ordainers of Reform in 1310. In June 1312 he seized Gavaston at Deddington, Oxfordshire, and carried him off to Warwick Castle. On the Earl of Lancaster's arrival, Gavaston was handed over to Lancaster and executed without trial 19 June 1312. He presented to the churches of Notgrove, Gloucestershire and Naunton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and to the chapel and chantry of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire in 1313. Although pardoned for his participation in the death of Gavaston in 1313, Guy and his confederate Earls refused to serve in the Bannockburn campaign the following year. SIR GUY DE BEAUCHAMP, 10th Earl of Warwick, died at Warwick Castle 12 August 1315, and was buried at Bordesley Abbey, Warwickshire. He left a will dated 25 July 1315. His widow, Alice, married (3rd) by license dated 26 October 1316 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM LA ZOUCHE MORTIMER (formerly DE MORTIMER), Knt., of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, Fulbourn and Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, and Nutbourn (in Pulborough) and Treve (or River) (in Tillington), Sussex, Justice in Eyre for forest pleas in Essex, Joint Keeper of Caerphilly Castle, Keeper of Glamorgan and Morganno, Chamberlain of Cardiff, Keeper of the Tower of London, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1328, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Walthamstow, Essex, Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Wyke or Rumboldswyke (in Rumboldswyke), Sussex, Cherhill, Newton Tony, and Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire, etc., younger son of Robert de Mortimer, of Richard's Castle and Puddlestone, Herefordshire, Burford, Milson, and Tilsop (in Burford), Shropshire, etc., by Joyce, daughter of William la Zouche [see RICHARD'S CASTLE 3 for his ancestry]. They had four sons, Ralph, Alan [2nd Lord Zouche], Robert, and Philip, and one daughter, Joyce. He apparently fought at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298. In 1304 his kinsman, Alan la Zouche, Knt., Lord Zouche [see CHARLTON 5], settled the reversion of the manors of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, Fulbourn and Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, and Nutbourne (in Pulborough) and Treve (or River) (in Tillington), Sussex on him, on whose death in 1314, he entered into these estates. In 1313 William was pardoned for his participation in the death of Peter de Gavaston. He was summoned for service against the Scots, 1315-35, in Gascony, 1324-5, and in Ireland, 1332. In 1322-3 John Botetourt and his wife, Maud, conveyed to William and his wife, Alice, all their right in the manor of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire. William was summoned to Parliament from 26 Dec. 1323 to 14 Jan. 1336/7, by writs directed variously Villelmo la Zousbe, Willelmo la Zouche de Castro Ricardi (or de Mortuo Mari, de Assheby, de Mortimer), whereby he is held to have become Lord Zouche. His wife, Alice, died shortly before 8 Jan. 1324/5. As a supporter of Queen Isabel, he was present at the extraordinary Council held at Bristol in October 1326, when Prince Edward was chosen as Keeper of the Realm. In Nov. 1326 he was sent with the Earl of Lancaster into Wales to pursue and capture Edward II. William married (2nd) about 26 Jan. 1328/9 (when he abducted her from Hanley Castle, Worcestershire) ELEANOR DE CLARE, widow of Hugh le Despenser ("the younger"), Knt., 2nd Lord le Despenser (hanged 24 Nov. 1326) [see DESPENSER 11], and daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 2nd wife, Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I, King of England [see CLARE 8 for her ancestry]. She was born at Caerphilly, Glamorgan shortly before 23 Nov. 1292 (date of her mother's churching), and was co-heiress in 1314 to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and William (clerk). Soon after their marriage, orders were issued for their arrest 5 Feb. 1328/9 by Roger de Mortimer, acting in the king's name. Eleanor was subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London and then in Devizes Castle. In Dec. 1329 she was compelled by the King to surrender the lordships of Glamorgan and Morgannwg, and the manors of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and Hanley, Worcestershire, until they should have paid an impossible fine of £50,000. They received a pardon 22 Feb. 1329/30. In Jan. 1330/1 she recovered her lands for a reduced fine of £5,000, which sum was never paid in full during her lifetime. In 1332 he had a protection going beyond seas with the Princess Eleanor for her marriage to Renaud, Count of Guelders, in the Low Countries. The same year he had license from the Bishop of Lincoln to have a chapel in his manor-house at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. In 1332 Anthony Citroun and Nicholas de Salvo acknowledged that they owed William and his wife, Eleanor, a debt of £20,000. In 1336 William la Zouche Mortimer, his step-son, Hugh le Despenser, Knt., and four others acknowledged that they owed debts of £266 to Asselmo Symonete, and £1600 to Gwido de La Chouche, merchants of Lucca, which they had not paid. SIR WILLIAM LA ZOUCHE MORTIMER, 1st Lord Zouche of Richard's Castle, died 28 Feb. 1336/7, and was buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Eleanor, died testate 30 June 1337.

He married (1st) in the spring of 1253 ALICE (or ALIX) DE LUSIGNAN (or DE LA MARCHE), daughter of Hugues [XI] le Brun (or de Lusignan), Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine brother of Henry III, King of England), by Yolande, daughter of Pierre de Braille sled Mauclerc, Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see LUSIGNAN 6 for her ancestry]. They had two daughters, Isabel and Joan. Earl Gilbert played an important role in the constitutional crisis and the Barons' War, 1258-67. Initially he supported the Baronial cause. He and Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester captured Rochester, Kent 18 April 1264, but shortly afterwards Tonbridge and Rochester fell to the royalists, who soon gained control over southeast England. On 6 May the royalist forces were camped at Lewes, Sussex. Attempts at arbitration failed, and on 14 May the Battle of Lewes was fought. Earl Gilbert commanded the 2nd line at the battle, where the king and his brother, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were captured. Prince Edward and his cousin, Henry of Almain, became hostages, being initially sent to Dover Castle. The king and Richard of Cornwall were taken to London with Montfort. Montfort made every effort to secure peace, as unrest within the realm continued. Earl Gilbert, then the most powerful lord in the kingdom, was annoyed because Bristol had passed into Montfort’s hands. Furthermore, the earl was jealous of Montfort’s monopoly of power. Consequently early in 1265 Earl Gilbert withdrew to the Welsh Marsh, the home of Montfort’s intractable enemies. In Feb. 1265 Montfort banned a tournament at Dunstable for fear of conflict between his men and the followers of Earl Gilbert. All efforts to arrange ameeting between Montfort and Earl Gilbert failed. On 28 May 1265 Prince Edward escaped from captivity to join Mortimer and Earl Gilbert at Wigmore. The following month, Prince Edward and Earl Gilbert were denounced as rebels by Montfort. Earl Gilbert shared Prince Edward's victory at Kenilworth 31 July-August 1265, and, at the Battle of Evesham, 4 August 1765 he commanded the 2nd division and contributed largely to the victory. At the end of 1266, Earl Gilbert quarreled with Mortimer, who favored a more violent policy of repression. Sometime before 1267, Earl Gilbert conveyed the manor of Sunworth (in Buriton), Hampshire to Roger de Loveday, to hold to him and his heirs by the annual payment of a pair of gilt spurs at Easter. Earl Gilbert and his wife, Alice, were legally separated at Norwich, Norfolk 18 July 1271. In 1271 he had license to enditch his new castle of Caerphilly in Wales. At the death of King Henry III 16 Nov. 1272, Earl Gilbert took the lead in swearing fealty to King Edward I, who was then in Sicily returning from the Crusade. He was Joint Guardian of England during the king's absence. In 1274-5 William de Valence and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert [de Clare], Earl of Gloucester, and Robert de Boyton touching a tenement in Woolstone, Buckinghamshire. In 1275 Gilbert went to France to negotiate for peace. He was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277 and 1282. In 1278 he was among those selected to escort King Alexander III of Scotland to the king. He failed to recover his ancestors' lands in Normandy in the Paris Parlement in 1279. In May 1283 he was contracted to marry the king's daughter, Joan, provided he be formally divorced from his wife, Alice, and be free to marry where he will, and also that he obtain a dispensation from the Pope to marry to Joan, a 1st cousin once removed of Alice. In 1285 Gilbert was absolved from the contract of marriage between him and his former wife, Alice. He granted Alice various properties for her support, including the park and manor of Thaxted, Essex, and the manors of Warham, Wells, and Wiveton, Norfolk, Burford, Oxfordshire,and Speenhamland, Berkshire; she subsequently married Gilbert de Lindsey. In 1286 and 1287 he was beyond seas with the king, and, in June 1287, he was again in Wales on the king's service. In 1287 he sued Cecily de Vivonne, widow of John de Beauchamp, and others regarding the wardship of Thomas de Hawy. He married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 April 1290 (by dispensation dated 16 Nov. 1289, they being related in the 2nd & 3rd degrees of affinity) JOAN OF ENGLAND [sometimes styled JOAN OF ACRE], daughter of Edward I, King of England, by his 1st wife, Eleanor, daughter of [Saint] Fernando III, King of Castile, Leon, Galicia, Toledo, Cordoba, Jaen, and Seville [see ENGLAND 7 for her ancestry]. She was born at Acre in Palestine in Spring 1272. They had one son, Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], and three daughters, Eleanor, Margaret, and Elizabeth. In 1291 his quarrels with the Earl of Hereford about Brecknock culminated in a private war between them. Both earls were imprisoned by the king, Earl Gilbert being fined 10,000 marks as the aggressor. In 1291 his wife, Joan, received a papal indult to enter Cistercian monasteries accompanied by eight honest matrons. In 1293 he was appointed Captain of the forces in Ireland, and resided there until some time in 1294. He presented to the churches of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, 1295, and Thurning, Northamptonshire, 1295. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Monmouth Castle 7 Dec. 1295, and was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Joan, married (2nd) early in 1297 RALPH DE MONTHERMER, Knt., Privy Councillor, Keeper of Caerlyon, Cardiff, Caerfilly, Lantrissan, Newburgh, and Usk Castles, 1307, Steward of the lands of Earl of Buchan, 1308, Guardian and Lieutenant in Scotland, 1311, Steward of the lands of John ap Adam, 1311, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1315-20. Ralph was a native of Wales. Ralph was a native of Wales, and was near related to John Bluet, Knt., who served as his bachelor in Scotland in 1303. Ralph and Joan had two sons, Thomas, Knt. [2nd Lord Monthermer], and Edward, Knt. [Lord Monthermer], and one daughter, Mary (wife of Duncan of Fife, Knt., 10th Earl of Fife [see CLARE 8.ii.a below]). Their marriage enraged her father, the king, and he committed Ralph to prison in Bristol Castle 10-22 July 1297, and all of Joan's lands were seised into the king's hand. By the mediation of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham, peace was made between the king and his daughter, and her lands were restored to her 31 July 1297, save Tonbridge and the Isle of Portland. The king afterwards became much attached to his new son-in-law, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford during the minority of his step-son, Gilbert de Clare. By Sept. 1297 Ralph and his wife were allowed to stay in the outer bailey of Windsor Castle, which the king had lent them. In 1297 he was summoned to serve with the king's overseas expedition. In 1298 he was appointed Captain of the 4th Division of the king's army in Scotland. He was summoned to serve against the Scots in 1299, 1300, and frequently thereafter. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300. He presented to the churches of Pimperne, Dorset, 1299, and Naseby, Northamptonshire, 1305. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Rad'us de Monte H'meri Com' Glouc' & Herf’. In 1303 he and his wife, Joan, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert son of Thomas de Clare concerning a tenement in Plashes (in Standon), Hertfordshire. He was briefly Earl of Atholl in Scotland, 1306-7, he being defeated by King Robert de Brus in 1307. JOAN OF ENGLAND died 7 April 1307, and was buried in the Austin Friars at Clare, Suffolk. In August 1307 he surrendered to King Edward II custody of the lands of his step-son, Gilbert de Clare, a minor, and had a grant of 5,000 marks in lieu thereof. In 1308 John de Huntley, of cos. Somerset and Gloucester, owed him a debt of £15. The same year he had license to hunt in the king's forests or chases when passing through them. He was granted a charter for a weekly market and two yearly fairs at his manor of Llanfair Discoed, Monmouthshire in Nov. 1308. He was summoned to Parliament from 4 March 1308/9 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Rldulpho de Monte Hermerii, whereby he is held to have become Lord Monthermer. In 1309 he was granted the barony of Erlestoke, Wiltshire, including the manors of Stokenharn, Oakford, Pyworthy, and Sterte, Devon and Hunton, Hampshire. A similar grant of Warblington, Hampshire was made to him in Dec. 1310. He was going beyond seas in the king's service in May 1313. In 1313 Henry Fitz Alan brought a writ of replevin against him and complained that he had wrongfully seised his beasts, namely two bullocks, one calf, and two mares in Dodbrooke Burgh, Devon, whereby Henry claimed he suffered damages to the amount of £20. Ralph fought at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, where he was taken prisoner. In 1315 he had permission to go on pilgrimage to Santiago of Compostella in Spain. The same year he presented to the church of Stokenham, Devon. He likewise presented to the church of Shorncote, Wiltshire in 1316 and 1317, by reason of the land and heir of John ap Adam being in his hand. He married (2nd) before 20 Nov. 1318 (without the king's permission) ISABELLE DESPENSER, widow successively of Gilbert de Clare, Knt. (died shortly before 16 Nov. 1307) [see BADLESMERE 8.i] and John de Hastings, Knt., 1st Lord Hastings (died 10 Feb. 1312/3) [see HASTINGS 10], and daughter of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., Earl of Winchester, 1st Lord Despenser, by Isabel, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., 9th Earl of Warwick [see DESPENSER 10 for her ancestry]. In Dec. 1318 perambulation was made by the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London of the land of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's in the parish of St. Dunstan [?in the East}, London on complaint of Thomas de Neusom, clerk of Sir Ralph de Monthermer, who stated that because the tenement of the Dean and Chapter adjoining that of Ralph was not built up along the street, vagabonds crossing the tenement by night broke down Ralph's party-walls and entered and done damage there. Ralph and his wife, Isabel, were pardoned by the king 12 August 1319 for marrying without the king's permission. In 1324 he was summoned for military service in Gascon in person. After the reduction of the Queen's household in1324, the king's daughers, Eleanor and Joan, were put in charge of Ralph and his wife in the king's castle of Marlborough. SIR RALPH DE MONTHERMER, 1st Lord Monthermer, died 10 May (or 5 April) 1325, and was buried at Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire. He left a will enrolled 15 July 1325. On 19 Feb. 1325/6 his widow, Isabel, was appointed custodian of the corpus of Marlborough Castle and of the houses within the walls for the safe dwelling of herself and of the king's daughters living with her. Isabel died testate 4 (or 5) Dec. 1334, and was buried at Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire. [Footnote 9. For evidence of Alice's 2nd marriage, see Cal. IP.M 3 (1912): 234-251; Genealogist n.s. 38 (1922): 169-172.
