(9g) Ralph Shepard[edit]

Great Migration 6:262-269

Ralph Shepard was born in England c. 1606, and d. Charlestown, Mass. 20 Aug 1693, though the tombstone at Malden says he d. 11 Sep 1693, aged 90. He m. St. Bride Fleet Street, London 21 May 1632 Thankslord PERKINS, b. c. 1612, living 28 March 1675 when she acknowledged a deed. As English Puritans were being hrrassed by Archbiship William Laud, Ralph Shepard was called before the Court of High Commission on 24 April 1634, and then summoned again on 8 May, being called a tailor of Limehouse. Limehouse was a hamlet in the parish of Stepney in Middlesex (now a part of London). Shepard's response was to immigrate to New England with thousands of other Puritans. Ralph was aged 29 when he enrolled on 30 June 1635 at London for passage aboard the ship Abigail with his wife Thankes, aged 23, and daughter Sara, aged 2. It is likely that Thankslord was pregnant with son Thomas during the voyage. Ralph and Thanks first settled in Watertown, Mass., then later lived in Weymouth, Malden, and Concord, Mass. Ralph has a surviving gravestone in Bell Rock Cemetery in Malden. Children: [25]

  • Sara, b. 1633, aged 2 on ship passenger list in 1635, but no other record
  • Thomas, b. c. 1635, d. 1719, m. (1) 1658 Hannah ENSIGN, m. (2) by 1700 Joanna _______ (see below).
  • Isaac, b. Weymouth, Mass. 20 June 1639, d. Concord, Mass. 12 Feb 1676 [1675/6) during King Philip's War, and m. Concord 10 Dec 1667 Mary SMEDLEY, daughter of Baptist Smedley. Isaac and his brother Jacob have a memorial stone in the Power Burying Ground in Littleton (formerly Concord), Mass. [26]
  • Trial, b. Weymouth 19 Dec 1641, d. Weymouth, Mass. 22 Feb 1708 [1707/8?], m. Malden 11 March 1660[/1?] Walter POWER, b. perhaps County Waterford, Ireland c. 1639, d. Concord, Mass. 22 Feb 1708 [1707/8?]. I doubt that they both died the same date in different localities. Trial and Walter both have or had gravestones in the Power Burying Ground in Littleton (formerly Concord), Mass. [27]
  • Abraham, b. say 1647, m. Concord 2 Jan 1672[/3?] Judith FILLBROOK.
  • Thanks, b. Malden 10 Feb 1650[/1?], m. Chelmsford 13 Dec 1669 Peter DILL.
  • Jacob, b. Malden June 1653, no further record per Anderson, but family lore says he was killed with his brother Isaac on 12 Feb 1676 during King Philip's War. A memorial stone was erected for him and his brother Isaac in the Power Burying Ground in Littleton, Mass. [28]

(7g) Isaac Shepard[edit]

We Relate website, citing Shepard Families of New England by Shepard and Jacobus (1971) pp 10-11;

Isaac Shepard, the son of Thomas Shepard and Hannah Ensign, was b. c. 1682, d. Norton, Mass. 4 June 1724, and m. Cambridge, Mass. 31 Dec 1702 Elizabeth FULLER, b. Cambridge 22 Jan 1679/80, d. Weston, Mass. 29 June 1761, aged 84 [though actually aged 81], the daughter of Joshua Fuller and Elizabeth Ward. Isaac may have been born in Charlestown, but he was living in Medford when he was married. Following Isaac's death, Elizabeth m. (2) Weston 7 Sep 1738 Abel ALLEN, b. Watertown 15 Sep 1669, d. Weston 8 April 1756, aged 87 [actually 86], the son of Lewis Allen and Sarah Ives. His first wife was Sarah, who d. Weston 18 Sep 1736. On 2 Aug 1756 it was determined that Elizabeth Allen, widow of Mr. Abel Allen, deceased, was non compos mentis, and required a guardian. On 28 Feb 1757 Nath. Felch was assigned as her guardian. Find-a-grave memorials have been created for Isaac and Elizabeth, though their burial location remains unknown. Ditto for six of their nine children. Children, first two born Watertown; remainder born in Norton: [32]

  • Isaac, b. 19 Jan 1703/4, d. New Marlborough, MA 6 Jan 1778, m. Newton 3 Sep 1729 (this is the predominant date, but other vital records show 8, 13, and 23 Sep) Sarah CHENEY, b. Newton 7 Oct 1706, d. New Marlborough 9 May 1791 (NOT 19 May as has been incorrectly published), the daughter of John Cheney and Elizabeth Seager. They had eight children born 1730 to 1746, and possibly others.
  • Joshua, b. 3 April 1705 (this record is not found among the Watertown vital records, so its source is unclear), d. Needham 7 Nov 1730, m. Elizabeth OUKINTON, b. 1700, d. 3 Dec 1788, aged 88. She m. (2) John Wilkinson, likely the one b. Attleboro, Mass. 9 May 1702, son of John Wilkinson and Rachel Vails. He died in Attleboro, but is buried in the same cemetery as his wife and her first husband. Joshua and Elizabeth are buried in the Shepardville Cemetery, Plainville, Mass. (once a part of Wrentham, Mass., which is why the deaths are found in the Wrentham vital records). [33]
  • Elizabeth, b. 13 May 1707, m. (1) Weston, Mass. 20 Aug 1728 Benjamin BULLARD, b. 1681, d. Weston, Mass. 18 Nov 1740, in his 60th year, the son of Jonathan Bullard and Hester Morse. Elizabeth m. (2) Weston 14 April 1743 Aaron RICE, b. Sudbury, Mass. 13 Aug 1700, d. summer 1755 in camp at Crown Point, the son of John Rice and Tabitha Stone. Aaron had married as his first wife Hannah Wright, who d. Rutland, Mass. 23 Aug 1741. Aaron had been a corporal and quartermaster in the Rutland militia as a young man. He died while commanding a company on the northern frontier during the French and Indian War. Elizabeth m. (3) Rutland, Mass. 28 June 1760 Caleb BENJAMIN, b. Watertown 28 Jan 1702, d. Windsor, VT 8 March 1775, son of Abel Benjamin and Abigail Stimson. They lived in Hardwick, Mass., and this may be where Elizabeth died, though her death is not found in the vital record of that town. Elizabeth had four children with her first husband, born 1729 to 1739. Benjamin Bullard has an existing grave marker in the Farmer's Burial Ground in Weston, Mass. [34]
  • Jonathan, b. 6 Aug 1709, d. Windsor, VT 26 March 1798, m. N. Stonington, CT 23 Dec 1736 Love PALMER, b. Stonington, CT 26 March 1717, and either d. c. 1764 or d. Alstead, NH 23 July 1796. Some claim that Love died before Jonathan remarried, and some claim that they were divorced, and that they both remarried. If the latter is true, then it appears that Love married a Mr. Hearick, and that she is buried in the Alstead Center Cemetery with an extant grave marker. Whichever the case, Jonathan m. (2) Sandisfield, Mass. 31 Jan 1765 Mary UNDERWOOD, b. 1725, d. Windsor, VGT 18 July 1808. Jonathan had ten children with his first wife and one more with the second. Jonathan and Mary have extant grave markers in the Old South Church Cemetery in Windsor, VT. [35]
  • Hannah, b. 2 Aug 1711, m. Newton 8 Jan 1730 [/1?] Joseph NORCROSS, b. 1 July 1701, d. Princeton, Mass. 27 March 1789, the son of Richard Norcross and Hannah Sanders. Joseph was born in the West Parish of Watertown, Mass., which in 1713 became the town of Weston, and his birth is found in the Weston vital records, but not those in Watertown. Hannah and Joseph had nine children, born c. 1731 to 1753.
  • Nathaniel, b. 13 Feb 1713/4, d. 1752, m. Mindwell WOODWARD. He is buried in the Woodcock Cemetery in Attleboro, Mass. [36]

Coventry, CT 1 March 1746, the daughter of John Stone and Lydia Hyde of Newton and Framingham, Mass. Margaret was born in Framingham, Mass., but the record of her birth is not there, but in Newton instead. Noah m. (2) Coventry, CT 9 March 1747 Abigail GLEASON, b. Enfield 1727, d. Somers, CT 3 Feb 1819, aged 91, the daughter of Isaac Gleason and Mary Prior. Noah had three children with Margaret, born 1739 to 1744 and nine children with Abigail, born 1748 to 1761.

(6g) Nathaniel Shepard[edit]

Nathaniel was born in Norton, Mass. 13 Feb 1712/3, d. Attleboro, Mass. 14 April 1752, the son of Isaac Shepard and Elizabeth Fuller. He married in Newton, Mass. 30 Nov 1736 Mindwell WOODWARD, b. Newton 26 Feb 1716/7, d. New London, NH 21 Sep 1794, the daughter of Ebenezer Woodward and Mindwell Stone. Following Nathaniel's death, Mindwell married in Attleboro (intention there 25 April 1754) Jeremiah Everett, the son of Richard Everett and Mary Fuller. After Mindwell remarried, she moved to New London, New Hampshire with her second husband and many of her children, and she is buried there in the Old Main Street Cemetery. Nathaniel and Mindwell had ten children together, and Mindwell then had four more with Everett. The births of all ten children of Nathaniel and Mindwell Shepard are found in the Attleboro, Mass. vital records, but they took place at several different locations. The births of the four children of Mindwell and Jeremiah Everett took place in Attleboro.

The following is from the article "Genealogy of Shepard of Henrietta, Loraine County, Ohio" by Kate Shepard Hines in The Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly, vol. 9: "Nathaniel Shepard...was converted at Brookline under the preaching of Mr. Whitefield, and in 1746 was called to preach to the Baptist congregation at Attleborough, where he died. He made many tours through the neighboring towns assisting other pastors, being a man of a beautiful spriit, and and earnest and efficient pastor. He took an active part in the early efforts which led to the establishing of Brown University, although it was not finally effected until after his death. Dr. Backus, the historian of the Baptists of New England, wrote a sketch of his life and death. At the marriage of Dr. Backus, Mr. Shepard performed the religious part of the ceremony, when the groom himself preached a sermon. Nathaniel Shepard's will was dated Apr. 13, 1757, and proved May 18th."

The following is from John Dagget's History of Attleboro (1894): Tradition says that Nathaniel was a tailor. After he became ordained, he had the reputation of being an earnest preacher. His funeral was very heavily attended, and the sermon was preached by Mr. Carpenter of Norton. Following Nathaniel's death, "his body was interred in the burying place nearly opposite to Col. Hatch's tavern." This cemetery had been called the "Old North Burying Ground" or "Hatch's Burying Ground," but today is called the Woodcock Cemetery. [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]

Needham, Mass. 22 Aug 1819, and m. in Needham 3 Nov 1777 Jemima (Allen) Parker, the widow of Jonathan Parker who was killed at the Battle of Lexington on 19 April 1775. jemima was born in Dedham 15 Feb 1747/8, and died in Needham 3 Jan 1832, the daughter of Hezekiah Allen and Jemima Kingsbury. They share a grave marker in the Needham Cemetery. [45] [46]
  • Elizabeth, b. Providence, RI 20 Jan 1747 (in Attleboro VR), m. _______ PARKS.
  • Jacob, b. Attleboro 13 Dec 1748 (the printed VR says 1749, and another online VR says 1747; 1748 fits the best in family), d. Sturbridge, Mass. 6 April 1827, and m. (1) 15 Dec 1773 Patience HOLBROOK, b. Brimfield, Hamp., Mass. 19 Nov 1753, died 15 Dec 1784, daughter of John Holbrook and Patience Fisher. He m. (2) 24 Nov 1785 Grace PERRY, the daughter of Jonathan Perry and Martha Morse. Jacob was aged three and a half when his father died, and resided with his maternal grandparents, Ebenezer and Mindwell Woodward, in Newton. He was apprenticed at the age of 14 and became a carpenter and joiner. At the age of 21 he moved to Sturbridge, where he became a builder of churches, schools and bridges. He was a deacon of the Baptist church in Sturbridge. Jacob and Patience are buried in the Old Burying Ground in Sturbridge. [47]
  • Hannah, b. Attleboro 1 Sep 1750, d. Attleboro 26 June 1808, m. Attleboro 25 Oct 1771, as his second wife, Deacon Jonathan STANLEY, b. Attleboro 8 Aug 1733, d. Attleboro 5 May 1811, son of Jacob Stanley Elizabeth Guild. Jonathan had married as his first wife Martha Pond, b. Wrentham, Mass. 17 Jan 1734, d. Attleboro 14 Aug 1770. Jonathan and both wives are buried in the Robinson Cemetery in North Attleboro. [48]
  • Samuel, b. Attleboro 24 June 1752, d. Attleboro 25 Jan 1754. [49]

Children of Mindwell with her second husband, Jeremiah Everett:

  • Samuel Everett (twin), b. Attleboro 16 Nov 1756, d. Attleboro 1816, m. Attleboro 13 July 1780 Susanna WALLCOTT, b. c.1760 in Attleboro, the daughter of Moses Walcott and Mary Blackinton. Samuel was a private in Capt Caleb Richardson's company, Col Timothy Walker's regiment, from 24 April to August 1775. He appears on the 1790 census for Attleboro. He and Susanna had ten children.
  • Hannah Everett (twin), b. Attleboro 16 Nov 1756, d. 12 Aug 1832, m. Attleboro 3 Feb 1777 William FREEMAN, b. 1756, d. 30 Mary 1825. Hannah and William are buried in the Elder Ballou Meeting House Cemetery, Cumberland, RI. A William, son of Daniel Freeman and Johannah ( ) Read, was b. in Attleboro 16 March 1759, but this would make William aged 17 at marriage, which is unlikely. [50]
  • Penuel Everett, b. Attleboro 3 Sep 1758, d. New London, NH 5 Feb 1813, m. Attleboro 16 Jan 1783 Hannah SLACK. An online account says a Hannah Slack, daughter of John, was b. Attleboro 10 Jan 1762, but this is not in the published Attleboro vital record. However, Hannah did have a brother, John, and two sisters, Mindwell and Molle, who all went north with her. Penuel was a private in Capt Caleb Richardson's company, Col. Timothy Walker's regiment, 24 April to August 1775, and later marched to Rhode Island on 21 April 1777. He and his brother Levi moved to New London, NH about 1783, but by about 1790 he was living in Lunenburg, VT. By 1796 he was in Haverhill, Mass., but the next year he was back in New London. [51] [52]
  • Levi Everett, b. Attleboro 23 Sep 1760, d. New London, NH 5 Mar 1844, and m. c. 1785 Lucy TITUS, d. New London, NH 25 Oct 1832. It is highly likely that Lucy was the "Luce Titus" born in Rehoboth, Mass. on 7 Oct 1762, the daughter of Jonathan Titus and Dorothy Kent. Jonathan Titus came to Attleboro, and is buried in the Newell Cemetery there. Levi was in Capt Caleb Richardson's company that marched to RI 21 April 1777. Levi and Lucy had seven known children; they are buried in the Old Main Street Cemetery in New London. [53]

(5g) Ebenezer Shepard[edit]

Ebenezer, b. Brookline, Mass. 13 Jan 1741/2, d. New London, NH 12 April 1811, was the son of Nathaniel Shepard and Mindwell Woodward of Brookline, Dedham, and Attleboro, Mass. He was married in Dedham, Mass. by the Rev. Mr. Thomas Balch on 2 December 1762 to "Mrs." Jane McCORDY, b. c. 1739, d. New London, NH 30 Mar 1819, the daughter of Thomas McCordy. Though Jane was called "Mrs." in her marriage record, this is not significant, because all the brides married by Rev. Balch were designated "Mrs." even though most had not been previously married. On 1 Feb 1760, Ebenezer Shepard, aged 18, chose John Woodward of Newton to be his guardian. Ebenezer was called of Newton in his 1762 marriage record to Jane. He was a joiner by occupation. He and Jane were received into the First Church of Dedham on 8 Jul 1764. Ebenezer marched on the alarm of 19 Apr 1775 in Captain Aaron Fuller's (Dedham) Company, and on the alarm of 4 Mar 1776 to Dorchester in Captain Joseph Lewis' (1st Dedham) Company, Colonel William McIntosh's Regiment. On 26 Jan 1779 he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant of the Second Company, Colonel McIntosh's (Suffolk County) Regiment and on 12 Sep 1780 1st Lt of Captain Daniel Fisher's Company, same regiment. He also served as Lt. from Aug to Dec 1781 at Peekskill in Capt Thomas Newcomb's Company, Colonel Joseph Webb's Regiment. Sometime following the sale of Dedham property in 1782, the family moved to New Hampshire, where they appear on the 1790 federal census for Kersarge Gore (then in Hillsborough Co.). They moved to New London, NH in 1793, and appear on the 1800 census there. Ebenezer was baptized at the New London Baptist Church on 23 Jun 1790 and his wife there on 23 Oct 1793. On 19 Jan 1794, Jane was dismissed from the First Church in Dedham and recommended to the church in New London. Ebenezer's will, dated 6 Mar 1811, was proved 4 Jun 1811, and named wife Jane, daughters Catherine Smith, Betsey Messer, Hannah Peasley, Polly Greeley, Sally Hunting, and Mindwell, and sons Ebenezer Shepard, Jesse Shepard (sole executor), and John Shepard, and grandson Ebenezer S. Messer. Ebenezer and Jane are buried in the New London, NH Cemetery. Children, b. Dedham, MA, but only the first two recorded in the published vital record; all baptized at the First Church of Dedham: [54]

  • Catherine, b. 4 Jun 1763, bp 29 Jul 1764, m. Dedham, Mass. 20 Apr 1782 David SMITH. A David Smith, son of Thomas and Rebeckah Smith, was born in Dedham 4 March 1756. In 1790 the family was living in Kersarge Gore, next to her parents, with what appear to be two sons and two daughters. In 1800 they were living in New London, NH close to her parents, with what appear to be five sons and three daughters. They are also found on the 1810 and 1820 censuses in New London, but none thereafter. From this it appears that David Smith died in the 1820s, and either Catharine died or remarried in the same timeframe.
  • Elizabeth, b. 12 Jun, bp 16 Jun 1765, m. 1784 James How MESSER, son of Lt. Samuel Messer and Sarah How. James appears on the 1790 census for New London, NH with what appear to be wife, son and two daughters. They are also on the 1800 census for New London with what appear to be three sons, three daughters, and another adult male. They are buried in the Old Main Street Cem., New London. [55]
  • Ebenezer, b. 1767, bp 12 Jul 1767, d. Wilmot Flat, NH 7 Dec 1849, aged 82, m. 8 Jan 1793 Sally BURPEE, b. Rowley, MA 26 Feb 1775, d. Wilmot Flat, NH 28 Apr 1850, dau of Lt. Thomas Burpee and Joanna Foster. Ebenezer Jr. was a private, Continental Line, Revolutionary War. He was of Brookfield when married in 1793. They appear on the 1800 census in New London, NH with what appear to be three sons and two daughters. Ebenezer Shepard, yeoman, made his will 12 Aug 1844; it was proved 22 Jan 1850. Ebenezer Jr. and Sally had eleven children. They are buried in the Old Main Street Cem., New London, NH. [56]
  • Jesse, b. 12 Nov, bp 16 Nov 1769, m. (1) Hannah PAIGE; m. (2) Hannah (_______) Pattee. Jesse is buried with his first wife in the Old Main Street Cemetery, New London, NH. [57]
  • Hannah, bp 12 Apr 1772, was living in 1811 when named in her father's will, but apparently dead by 1820 when her husband appears alone on the census (or maybe that's his father living alone, because he likely had a lot of kid); m. c. 1797 Samuel PEASLEY, son of Samuel Peaslee and Sarah Bean of Sutton. An online account says Samuel Jr. was born 28 Nov 1776 and d. Newbury, NH 28 Sep 1852, which is consistent with the administration of his estate in 1853. He is the Samuel Peasley Jr., appearing on the 1800 census for Sutton, Hillsborough Co., NH with what appear to be wife, two sons, daughter, and another young couple. He is also in Sutton in 1810 with family, but appears to be living alone in 1820 in Sutton. He is not found in 1830, but may have remarried by 1840, when he appears in Newbury, NH aged 60-69, with female aged 70-79, and two younger people. An online account gives Samuel and Hannah ten children, born 1798 to 1817.
  • Mary (or Molly or Polly), b. 27 Dec 1772, bp 6 Feb 1773, d. Milwaukee, WI 14 Dec 1853, m. 12 Sep 1793 Jonathan GREELE(Y), b. Haverhill, MA 24 Mar 1766, d. New London, NH 5 Dec 1849, son of Joseph Greeley and Prudence Clements of Warner. Jonathan appears on the 1800 census for New London, NH with what appear to be wife, two daughters, and three boys, two of whom would be too old to be his sons by wife Molly. Seven children. They are buried in the Old Main Street Cemetery in New London, NH. [58]
  • Sally, b. 1776, bp 10 Mar 1776, d. New London, NH 9 Jan 1835, m. New London, NH 12 Jun 1804 Jonathan HUNTING, b. New London, NH 23 Jan 1779, d. New London, NH 1 Oct 1861, son of Dea. Ebenezer Hunting and Hannah Ordway. They are buried in the Old Main Street Cem., New London, NH. [59]
  • Mindwell, bp 7 Jun 1778, m. William STEAD, b. c. 1780, and resided in Albany, NY.

(10g) Thomas Ensing[edit]

TAG 56:219-20 (will of Thomas, Sr.); 60(1984):97-100; TAG 75(2000):8-15 (the primary research on this family)

Note: In England, the family name was usually spelled "Ensing(e)"; in New England the name was generally spelled "Ensign".

Thomas Ensing was born possibly at Robertsbridge, Sussex, England say 1571, bur. Hove, Sussex (40 miles west of Rye), and m. Brighling, Sussex 27 May 1594 Constance PILCHER, b. say 1570, bur. Rye, Sussex 21 Feb 1624/5, daughter of David Pilcher of Battle, Sussex. The family lived at Rye, where Thomas was land chamberlain in 1599, collecting town rents. Thomas was also likely a merchant, having paid duties on a shipment of wheat. He bought a tenement in Rye called Vyne in 1600, and later served as a jurat and deputy mayor for many years. Rye was a hot bed for Puritan activity, and Thomas was squarely among those with Puritan sentiments. This is what likely compelled him, following the death of his wife, to relocate to Hove, about 40 miles west of Rye, on the coast, where the Puritan and regicide, Anthony Stapley was located. Thomas's will was dated 14 Dec 1631 and probated at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 27 March 1632. The will does not state where he is from, but in it he made a bequest to the poor of the town of Rye, which is in Sussex. Children of Thomas and Constance, all but second baptized at Rye:

  • John, bapt. 8 June 1595, d. Jan 1620/1, and m. St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, Surrey, Eng. 12 Oct 1620 Margaret POWELL, daughter of William Powell. She m. (2) St. Mary Magdalen 13 May 1622 Henry Robrough, minister. John's will was dated 5 Jan 1621/2, and proved eleven days later on 16 January.

Mayflower Descendant 16:22-24 (inventory and will of Thomas); TAG 61(1985):46-9 (Mann family connection (daughter Sarah)); TAG 73(1998):241-55

Thomas, the son of Thomas Ensign and Constance Pilcher, was baptized at Rye, Sussex, England on 15 April 1599, d. Scituate, Mass. c. 1663/4, and m. (1) Cranbrook, Kent 27 April 1629 Hannah WYBORNE, b. say 1609, d. prob. Scituate, Plymouth Colony, c. 1638, daughter of John Wyborne and Martha Keene; m. (2) prob. Scituate 17 Jan 1638/9 Elizabeth WILDER, b. Shiplake, Oxfordshire, England c. 1621, living in 1676, daughter of Thomas Wilder and Martha Higgs. Thomas was a yeoman and had arrive in New England by 1638 when Tho Ensigne of Scituate, planter, purchased four acres of upland from William Betts of Scituate. He continued to live in Scituate, Mass. where he made land purchases in 1640 and 1642. He was a proprietor and one of the Conihasset partners, but the timeframe for this is not seen in the sources that mention it. His will was dated 16 July 1663 and "exhibited" 9 June 1664. His inventory was taken 17 Feb 1663/4. In his will he names wife Elizabeth, son John, daughter Hannah (no surname), daughter Sarah (no surname), "Daughter hannah her son Thomas Shepherd", and "Sarah Underwood my wifes sisters Daugter". He had two surviving daughters named Hannah, one with each wife, and this is made clear in the will of son John, who names each Hannah by her married name. Children with first wife, Hannah:

  • Hannah, bapt. Biddenden, Kent 11 Sep 1631, bur. there 5 Nov 1631.
  • Thomas, bapt. Biddenden 4 Nov 1632, bur. there 15 Jan 1632/3.

On 4 Aug 1658 John chose James Cudworth as his guardian until he reached legal age, likely because he had recently inherited land in England from his brother Thomas, who had returned there years earlier. John made oath as to the inventory of his father on 17 Feb 1663/4. The date of John's will is incorrectly given as 5 July 1676 (AFTER he died), so likely should have read 5 March 1675/6 before he engaged in hostilities with the natives. It was proved 20 oct 1676 by John Vinall and Thomas Jenkins.
  • Sarah, b. Scituate, Mass. c. 1650, d. by 1723/4, m. (1) say 1670 Joseph WADE, b. c. 1649, d. Rehoboth, Mass. 26 March 1676 during King Philip's War, son of Nicholas Wade and Elizabeth Hanford; m.

On 3 Oct 1665 Sarah was convicte of "Whordom aggreuatted with diuerse cercomstances" and sentenced to be whipped. On the same day, her widowed mother, Elizabeth Ensigne, filed a suit against Thomas Summers for 500 pounds damage for "inticing and drawing away her daughter unseasonably...and abusing her daughter. The jury awarded her only 50 shillings and the cost of the suit. The will of Thomas Mann was dated 13 Feb 1723 and proved 12 July 1732; it did not mention a wife. Sarah had no known children with her first husband, and eight with her second husband born from 1679[/80?] to 1697[/8?]
  • Hannah, b. Scituate c. 1652, m. c. 1670 Thomas WADE, b. c. 1650, son of Nicolas Wade and Elizabeth Hanford. They had three known children, b. say 1671 to 1675[/6?].

(11g) (poss.) Christopher Jackson[edit]

Parker-Ruggles Anc:401-3

Christopher Jackson was born say 1575, bur. "Whitechapel and Stepney, London, Co. Midd., England" 5 Dec 1633, and m. St. Dunstan's, Stepney 20 Oct 1602 Susan JOHNSON, bapt. St. Dunstan's 8 March 1579/80, daughter of Philip Johnson and Sarai Berry. St. Dunstan's was the parish church in the parish of Stepney, located in eastern inner London. As the London population grew, Stepney became a parent parish to many later parishes, such as Whitechapel and Bethnal Green. Christopher and Susan were both called of Mile End (located in Stepney) in their marriage record. In the baptismal records of their sons Edward and Myles, Christopher was called "of Bednal Green, tailor", but many accounts say he was instead a nailer. Children, given in Parker-Ruggles, quoting research of Horatio Somerby:

  • John, bapt. St. Dunstans 6 Jan 1602[/3?], d. Cambridge Village (now Newton), Mass. 30 Jan 1674/5, m. Margaret _______.
  • Edward, bapt. St. Dunstan's 3 Feb 1604[/5?], supposedly the Edward below, but very troubling is the burial at St. Dunstan's on 28 Feb 1604/5 of Edward, son of Christopher Jackson.
  • Myles, bapt. St. Dunstan's 28 June 1607. A Myels Jackson of London was married to Anne DAWES, daughter of William Dawes of London, clothworker, and Elizabeth Edes. Myles Jackson of alhallowes Barking, maryner, was m. St. Dunstan's 20 June 1645 to Joane JONES.

(10g) Edward Jackson[edit]

Savage 2:530-3;

see references at We Relate website [88]

Edward, likely the son of Christopher Jackson and Susan Johnson, was likely baptized at St. Dunstan in the East, Stepney, Middlesex, England about 1602, based on the age on his gravestone. However, Savage is skeptical of the age on his gravestone (79 years and 5 months), particularly in light of the fact that his gravestone is a replacement stone, erected in 1825. While a baptismal record for this particular Edward has not been found, there are compelling reasons to believe that he is of Christopher and Susan's family, and this provenance for him has been accepted since published in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England in the mid 19th century. Edward d. Cambridge Village (now Newton), Mass. 17 July 1681, and was married (1) about 1629 to Frances _______, b. say 1610, d. Cambridge Village 5 Oct 1648; and m. (2) Cambridge Village 16 March 1648/9 Elizabeth (NEWGATE) Oliver, b. c. 1617, d. Newton 30 Sep 1709, aged 92, widow of John Oliver and daughter of John Newgate. Edward was apparently still living in England as late as 20 Feb 1642/3 when called Mr. Edward Jackson, naylor [nailer] in a document. However, he was in New England by October 1643 when he purchased a house and six acres of Samuel Holye [Holly] of Cambridge. He took the freeman's oath in May 1645 and became a prominent man in Cambridge Village. He served as representative to the general court for 16 or more years beginning in 1647, and deeded 400 acres of land to Harvard College. In 1678 he was the author and first signer of a petition to the general court requesting that Cambridge Villaged be set off from Cambridge as a separate town. This was done about a decade later, after Edward's death, and in 1691 the town was name New Town, shortened to Newton. Edward has an extant gravestone in the East Parish Burying Ground in Newton; the stone was repaired [or more likely, replaced] in 1825. The name of his second wife may be included on the founders monument in the same cemetery. Children with first wife, first six baptized at Whitechapel, London, England: [89]

While an English origin for Richard has not been confirmed, the following sheds some light: In his 13 Oct 1665 will, Amos Woodward of Colchester [Essex], carpenter, made a bequest to "my uncle Woodward's children's children in New England". Richard's son George named a son Amos. On 30 April 1634, Richard Woodward, aged 45, his wife Rose Woodward, aged 50, with George Woodward, aged 13, and John Woodward, aged 13, were enrolled at Ipswich, England as passengers aboard the ship Elizabeth of Ipswich.

Exeter 24 March 1602/3, liv. c. 1636, daughter of John Marshall and Alice Bevys. Elizabeth was apparently a kind and helpful person, because she received preferential treatment in the wills of her father, mother, and her brother Richard Marshall. Thomas was in New England by 1637, settling first at Dorchester, then moving to New Haven, and returning to England permanently by 1641. His three younger sons and all of his New Haven estate were put into the hands of his steward, Henry Gibbons, who failed to properly execute his responsibilities. As early as Nov 1641 the court placed the children under the care of Sgt Thomas Jeffrey and his wife, but after much litigation, it wasn't until the death of Gibbons in 1686, that all the property was conveyed back to the three sons. These three younger sons became progenitors of the family in America. Children, baptized at Exeter, unless noted otherwise:

  • Elizabeth, bapt. St. Petrock 6 March 1627/8, bur. 10 May 1630.

His second wife Hannah left a will dated 20 Jan 1707/8, and proved the first Monday of March 1707/8. Thomas had eight children with his first wife, born from 1658 to 1680, and one child with his second wife born in 1690.

While his siblings were born in England, James was born after his parents arrived in New England, where they settled in Dorchester. When James was very young, the family moved to the New Haven colony. The father returned to England by 1644, leaving James and his two brothers in the care of his father's steward, who was deemed so unfaithful, that the town authorities intervened, and put them under the care of Sgt Thomas Jeffrey and his wife. James inherited his father's lands in Dorchester, and once he came of age, he went there to occupy and managed them. In 1664 he moved with his family to Cambridge Village, now Newton, Mass. He was appointed lieutenant of the Cambridge Village company of foot during King Philip's War, 1675-6. When Cambridge Village became a separate town in 1679, James was elected a member of the first board of selectmen, and held the office for nine consecutive years.

He served as deputy for nine years beginning in 1638, and was elected Assistant annually from 1654 until his death. In 1653 he was elected deputy for Springfield, and was speaker (of house of deputies?). His full estate was not administered immediately after his death, and it wasn't until 27 Oct 1715 that his grandson, Humphrey Atherton, son of Consider Atherton, was appointed administrator for the balance. When the remaining estate was distributed in 1717, all of his children were deceased except for Thankful Bird. Humphrey's grave is marked by an inscribed slab atop a brick vault in the Old Dorchester Burial Ground. Children, first four likely born in England, remainder likely born in Dorchester, Mass.: [135]

According to Putnam's, he was chaplain of the company under Capt. William Turner in 1676, during King Philip's War, and after the disasterous "Falls Fight", he was separated from the troops, and after several days of wandering returned to Hatfield. The Hollister genealogy says he was chaplain of Capt. Lathrop's company "which was cut to pieces by the Indians at Bloody Brook (Deerfield)" (Hollister Gen, p 35). Following this experience, he became afflicted with hallucinations from which he did not recover, and died the following year. He and Sarah had three known children, born 1674/5 to 1676 (including twins), and Sarah later had five more children with her second husband, born from 1680/1 to 1689.

(6g) Thomas McCordy[edit]

Thomas McCordy was born in Ireland, possibly Ulster, about 1706, died Dedham, Mass. 1758, and is said to have married a KILPATRICK, perhaps shortly before or after arriving in New England. His daughter's Find-a-grave memorial says his wife was Elizabeth Kilpatrick, 1708-1772. Thomas and his brother John are thought to have been sons of James McCurdy of Ireland. Thomas left Northern Ireland with his brother John, arriving in New England about 1728. Following a short stay in Boston, he was in Pemaquid, Maine by 1730. On 18 April 1735 he signed a contract to settle at St. Georges, Maine, and on 4 May he and other settlers drew for their lots. The following year they settled their lots, which were located in the "upper town of St. Georges", which became Warren, Maine. Thomas received lot #34, while his brother John was given #32. A later indenture between Samuel Waldo of Boston and "Thomas McCurdy" of St. Georges River, farmer, was made 26 Jan 1743. About 1745, with the outbreak of King George's War, Thomas went to Massachusetts, and on 28 July 1746 signed a petition in Woburn. By 1750, following the cessation of hostilities, he returned to St Georges, but within a few years he was back in Massachusetts, this time at Dedham. The following note from the Vital Record of Deham, Massachusetts 1635-1845 pg 535 certainly pertains to him: "Mr. Hezekiah Fuller...informed...that on the 6th of this instant he had taken into the house that he lately purchased of Mr. Woodward, one Thomas McCordy, with his family, consisting of six in number & that the said McCordy was born in Ireland & came last from St. Georges in the Eastward" What's missing is the year of this note, and the names of his family members. Thomas died while living in Dedham, and the administrators bond is dated 14 April 1758. His inventory was taken on 19 April, and filed in Boston on 21 April. His children were:

  • Elizabeth, b. prob. Bristol, Maine 20 July 1731, d. 1798 or 1799, and m. c. 1751 John CALDERWOOD, b. Ireland 15 Feb 1725, d. Vinalhaven, ME 1808, the son of James and Margaret Calderwood. They had 13 children. Elizabeth and her husband are buried in the Calderwoods Neck Cemetery, Vinalhaven, Maine. [138]

(8g) Cornelius Page[edit]

Hoyt:275-6

Cornelius, the son of John Page and Mary Marsh of Haverhill, Mass., was bapt Hingham, Mass. 15 July 1649, d. Haverhill 10 or 11 Oct 1697 and m. (1) Haverhill 13 Nov 1674 Martha CLOUGH, b. Salisbury, Mass. 22:1:1654 (22 March 1654), d. Haverhill 11 May 1683, the daughter of John and Jane Clough. Cornelius and Martha were married in a double ceremony with their siblings, Mercy Page and John Clough. Cornelius m. (2) Haverhill 16 Jan 1684[/5?] Mary MARSH (his first cousin), b. Hingham 22 Feb 1658/9, d. Haverhill 24 Nov 1697, the daughter of Onesiphorous Marsh and Hannah Cutler. The Haverhill vital record gives his death date as 11 Oct 1697, but his grave marker gives 10 Oct. Cornelius signed the oaths of fidelity and allegiance in 1669 and in 1677. The administration of his estate took place on 18 July 1698, with the estate divided the following year. Cornelius has an extant grave marker in the Pentucket Cemetery in Haverhill. Though Martha does not, the Page genealogy by Case and Sanderson (1978) states that she is buried there as well. It is unknown why Mary has no extant marker; probably because it was a child or descendant of the first marriage who installed the marker(s). Children, all births recorded in Haverhill: [140]

With first wife, Martha:

  • John, b. 27 Sep 1675, m. Sarah SINGLETARY (see below).
  • Amos, b. 22 Oct 1677, living in 1748, m. (1) c. 1697 Hannah (HUSEY?), b. c. 1677, bapt. as an adult 20 March 1709, and d. Salisbury 4 April 1740; m. (2) Amesbury 24 June 1741 Merriam STEVENS. Amos was a soldier during Queen Anne's War in 1710. He and Hannah had seven children born 1697/8 to 1714, with births recorded in the Salisbury vital record. Curiously, the parents for some of the children are called Amos and Hannah (or Hana), and for some of the children are called Amos and Husey, and for one child only a baptism is found, giving only the father's name. From this, some have argued that Husey is the maiden name of the first wife. A FAG memorial has been established for Amos, with no burial location. [141]
  • Elizabeth, b. 14 Sep 1679, d. Hampstead, NH 12 June 1752, m. Haverhill 1 May 1700 Thomas JOHNSON, b. Haverhill 11 Dec 1670, d. there 18 Feb 1741/2 in his 72nd year, son of Joseph Johnson and Hannah Tenney. Elizabeth and Thomas had ten children born 1700/1 to 1719. Elizabeth has an extant grave marker in the Riverview Cemetery in Groveland, Mass., while Thomas has an extant grave marker in the Maplewood Cemetery in Haverhill. [142] [143]
  • Joanna, b. 6 March 1680/1, likely died young.
  • Mehitable, b. 13 Feb 1681/2, d. Haverhill 9 May 1682.
  • Cornelius, b. 1 April 1683, d. Haverhill 24 May 1683.

children with second wife, Mary:

  • Joseph, b. 21 Sep 1686, d. Haverhill 13 Feb 1686/7.
  • Joseph, b. 12 Sep 1689, m. 1710 Mary THOMPSON, b. 27 July 1691, the daughter of John Thompson and Elizabeth Brewer. The Page genealogy by Case and Sanderson (1978) states that Joseph probably died in 1760. Joseph and Mary had eleven or twelve children born 1711 to 1736 in Haverhill, but lost five of them during an epidemic in March and April 1737. The family lived in the north parish of Haverhill, which became the town of Plaistow, New Hampshire in the 1740s.
  • Sarah, b. 23 Nov 1691, d. Haverhill 18 June 1762, and apparently never married. Even though she was fairly elderly, she was nevertheless called the daughter of Cornelius and Mary "Mash" in her death record.
  • Thomas, b. 24 Feb 1693/4, d. Haverhill 4 Oct 1771, aged 77, m. Boxford, Mass. 2 Nov 1715 Lydia BIXBY, b. Boxford 3 Feb 1694/5, d. Haverhill 16 Nov 1744, the daughter of Jonathan Bixby and Sarah Smith. The birth record for Lydia in Boxford gives the year as "1694-1696?", but her parents' marriage date, and birth of her next sibling strongly suggests that she was born Feb 1694/5. Her death date is from the Page genealogy (1978), but is not found in the vital record of Haverhill. In 1735, Thomas was one of the founders of the West Parish church in Haverhill. He and Lydia had nine children born in Haverhill from 1718 to 1738. Thelda Brigham's genealogy of the Page family states "Chase's History says Thomas with brother Joseph was a Proprietor of Pennycook [Concord, NH] and settled there." (Appdx, p 109) If so, it must have been after his last child was born in Haverhill in 1738.
  • Cornelius, b. 20 May 1696, d. Haverhill 14 April 1764, m. (1) Haverhill 9 Dec 1729, Mary COOPER, b. c. 1710, d. Haverhill 16 Feb 1755. He m. (2) Haverhill 27 Nov 1759 the widow Ruth (DOW) Haseltine, d. Haverhill 8 Nov 1761, widow of Jonathan Haseltine, b. Bradford 12 April 1694, d. Haverhill 26 Feb 1753, son of Abraham Haseline and Elizabeth Longhorn. Cornelius and Mary had four children born in Haverhill 1730 to 1738/9. He was listed in the Haverhill town rate on 10 Dec 1741.

(7g) John Page[edit]

John, the son of Cornelius Page and Martha Clough, was b. Haverhill 27 Sep 1675, d. Haverhill 7 March 1717/8, and m. Haverhill 21 May 1700 Sarah SINGLETARY, b. Haverhill 23 Oct 1679, d. there 3 Jan 1756, the daughter of Nathaniel Singletary and Sarah Belknap. John served in Lt Col Saltonstall's company in 1710 during Queen Anne's War. John has an extant grave marker in the Pentucket Cemetery in Haverhill. Children, all births recorded in Haverhill: [144]

  • Nathaniel, b. 15 Feb 1700/1, d. Nov 1778 (per Page genealogy), m. by Rev. William Allen of Greenland, NH 4 July 1728 (likely at Greenland) Phebe CHAPMAN, d. Haverhill 29 Sep 1742. Phebe is likely the Phebe Chapman born in Hampton, NH 29 Dec 1702, daughter of Samuel and Phebe Chapman. Phebe, daughter of Samuel Chapman, was baptized in Greenland, NH in 1717. Nathaniel and Phebe had seven children whose births were recorded in Haverhill from 1729 to 1742, with twins born in 1742. After Phebe's death, Nathaniel disappears from the Haverhill records. He may have gone into northern New Hampshire.
  • Sarah, b. f24 March 1703, m. 10 Feb 1726 Timothy JOHNSON. They had eight children.
  • Jonathan, b. 23 April 1705, m. Haverhill 30 Sep 1728 Ruth JOHNSON, b. Haverhill 5 July 1710, daughter of Thomas Johnson and Rachel Ordway. Jonathan and Ruth had nine children with births or baptisms recorded in Haverhill from 1729 to 1746. Jonathan died in 1773, probably in Atkinson, NH, according to the Page genealogy (Case and Sanderson, 1978, p 36).
  • John, b. 23 July 1707, d. Salem, NH Oct 1755, and m. Haverhill 15 Nov 1733 Elizabeth GILE. They had at least one child, John, b. 1738.
  • Edmund, b. 7 Nov 1709, d. 1768, m. Abigail PAGE, daughter of Jeremiah. They have a memorial marker in the Maplewood Cemetery in Haverhill.
  • Hannah, b. 23 Feb 1711/2, d. Haverhill 24 July 1717
  • Abiah, b. 7 Dec 1715, m. Haverhill 24 March 1736/7 Joshua PEASLEE of Methuen, who d. Methuen 11 Oct 1736 (the marriage and his death are recorded in both Haverhill and Methuen). Abiah and Joshua lived in Methuen where both of their children were born, one in winter 1737/8, and the other 1738/9. Unless she died early, it seems that Abiah would have remarried, but no such record is found in Haverhill or Methuen.
  • Mehitable, b. 27 May 1718, d. Haverhill 11 Oct 1736.

(6g) Edmund Page[edit]

Edmund Page, the son of John Page and Sarah Singletary of Haverhill, Mass., was b. Haverhill 7 Nov 1709, d. Plaistow, NH 15 Aug 1768, and m. 5 Feb 1735 Abigail PAGE, b. Haverhill 23 Mar 1708, the daughter of Jeremiah Page and Deborah Hendrick of Haverhill and Newbury, Mass. Edmund settled in North Haverhill, which in 1742 became Plaistow and Atkinson, New Hampshire. In 1738 he built the original wing of the Page homestead in Atkinson. He served as a colonel in the New Hampshire militia, and raised his nephew John, sending him to Harvard. In 1850, a memorial marker for Edmund and Abigail was erected in the Maplewood Cemetery, Haverhill, Mass., but I suspect they are actually buried in New Hampshire--either Atkinson or Plaistow. Children, all b. N. Haverhill, Mass.: [145]

  • Daniel, b. 6 Nov 1735, d. 20 Nov 1736
  • David, b. 23 Nov 1737, d. Chatham, NH 1 April 1812, m. (1) Elizabeth "Betsey" Eastman, b. 11 Jan 1740, daughter of Samuel Eastman and Elizabeth Putney. He m. (2) Ruth Eastman, b. Sep 1740, d. 5 Apr 1822, daughter of Philip Eastman and Abiah Bradley of Concord, NH. David and Ruth are buried in Fryeburg, ME. David served in Roger's Rangers during the Seven-years War, and was the colonel of a New Hampshire regiment during the RW. He was a selectman, justice of the peace, and state representative from Conway, NH. In 1775 he was a member of the Provincial Congress at Exeter, NH. He and his second wife are buried in the Fryeburg Village Cemetery, Oxford Co., Maine. Eleven children. [146]
  • Ruth, b. 14 Mar 1740, d. 16 Mar 1740
  • Jesse, b. 16 Feb 1741, d. 14 July 1787, and m. Hampstead, NH 21 June 1763 Sarah "Sally" SAWYER, b. Newbury, Mass. 19 May 1743, d. Atkinson, NH 3 Aug 1792, the daughter of William Sawyer and Hannah Follansbee. Jesse was a captain in Col Gale's NH regiment in 1778. He lived on the Page homestead in Atkinson. He and Sally are buried in the Atkinson Cemetery. [147]
  • William, b. 14 Mar 1742/3, d. Dunbarton, NH 1792, m. 1767 Hannah HEATH, b. 1744, d. prob 1796, daughter of Bartholomew Heath and Mary Pike. He was a farmer in Dunbarton. [148]
  • Deborah, b. 13 Jul 1745, d. Conway, NH 27 Oct 1815, m. Plaistow, NH Oct 1762 Joshua KELLEY, b. Newbury, MA 13 Feb 1743, d. Conway, NH 1 May 1822, the son of John Kelley and Hannah Davis. Joshua was a soldier in the RW. He and Deborah share a tombstone in the Green Hill Cemetery, Conway (Carroll Co.), NH. [149]
  • Job, b. 10 Nov 1748, d. Conord, NH 15 Dec 1798, m. Haverhill 27 May 1783 Lydia KIMBALL, b. Bradford, Mass. 23 Aug 1754, d. Concord, NH Oct 1833, daughter of James Kimball and Lydia Duston. He served in Col. Bartlett's regiment during the Rev. War. [Note: I called the Concord Cemetery Office (they have records for 13 Concord cemeteries) on 27 Feb 2015, and they did not have any record of Job and Lydia under the name Page or Paige).
  • Jeremiah, b. 25 Mar 1751, d. Conway, NH 6 Jan 1827, m. Mary DUSTON, b. likely in Salem, NH 9 Aug 1752, d. Somersworth, NH 1 Nov 1808, daughter of Thomas Duston and Abiah Guild. Jeremiah was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and settled in Conway, NH shortly thereafter, where he was a surveyor and tithingman. Mary died when she was thrown from her horse while returning home from Salem, NH. Jeremiah and Mary are buried in Green Hill Cem., Conway. [150]

(5g) William Page[edit]

William, the son of Edmund and Abigail (Page) Page, was b. Haverhill, Mass. 14 Mar 1743, d. Dunbarton, NH 1792, and m. 1767 Hannah HEATH, b. Haverhill 15 April 1744, d. probably 1796, the daughter of Bartholomew Heath and Mary Pike. They moved to Dunbarton where William's uncle Capt Caleb Page lived, and near where Hannah's brothers, Solomon and Simeon, lived in Bow, NH. William's will, dated 10 Dec 1791, names his two sons and eight unmarried daughters. William appears to have come to Dunbarton in connection with his uncle, Caleb Page, the brother of his mother. He is very likely buried in his uncle's cemetery which is in Bow, NH, very close to Dunbarton. Children, all born in Dunbarton: [151]

  • Mary, b. 17 Aug 1767, d. 12 March 1848, and m. after 1791 Greene FRENCH, b. Hopkinton, NH 15 Feb 1767, d. 27 Jan 1843, son of Green French. Oddly, a Green French was married to Sally Page in Dunbarton on 13 Dec 1792. Perhaps the clerk mis-copied her given name. Mary and Green are buried in the Old Main Street Cemetery, New London, NH. [152]
  • Abigail, b. 25 Dec 1768, d. Waterville, Maine Jan 1853, m. Dunbarton 8 May 1792 Caleb HEATH, b. Bow, NH 26 Feb 1768, d. Belfast, Waldo, ME 3 March 1838, the son of Solomon Heath and Abiah Carleton. Caleb was a witness to the 1791 will of Abigail's father. About 1800 Caleb moved with his wife and several young children to Newport, Cheshire Co., NH, and settled on the I. Millen farm. He was enumerated there on the 1820 census with wife and three older boys. Sometime, within the next 15 years or so, Caleb and Abigail left Newport, and went to live with their son Solomon, a lawyer, in Belfast, Maine. This is where Caleb died. Abigail, continued to live with Solomon, and appears with his family in the 1850 census in Belfast. The following year, Solomon moved with his family, including his mother Abigail, to Waterville, Maine, and it is here where Abigail died in 1853. Caleb is buried in the Grove Cemetery, Belfast, ME, which has mention of Abigail, but they do not believe she is buried there. She is therefore likely buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery in Waterville, where her son Solomon is buried. [153] [154]
  • Hannah, b. 28 Dec 1770, d. 25 Feb 1813, m. 3 Feb 1793 Jesse SHEPARD. They are buried in the Old Main Street Cem., New London, NH. [155]

Following Sarah's death, Ezekiel m. 6 April 1818 Emily Adams, daughter of Solomon Adams and Molly Bancroft. Ezekiel moved to New London, NH with his parents about 1781. He and both wives are buried in the Old Main Street Cemetery, New London, NH. [156] [157]
  • Ruth, b. 7 Oct 1776, d. Newport, NH 18 Nov 1842, m. Dunbarton NH 22 June 1796 Joseph SAWYER, b. Warner, Mmk, NH 2 Feb 1771, d. Newport, NH 30 July 1854, the son of Joseph Sawyer and Judith Kelly. Following their marriage, Ruth and Joseph moved to Newport, New Hampshire, then in Cheshire Co., and raised a family of nine children. Joseph is enumerated there on the 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses, living with the family of Benjamin F. Sawyer, aged 29, in 1850. [158] [159]
  • David, b. 1 Feb 1779, d. Hopkinton, NH 24 Sep 1833, m. Elizabeth (Stinson) Mosure, b. Dunbarton, NH 3 July 1779, d. Hopkinton 1 Feb 1835, the daughter of William Stinson and Agnes Caldwell. Elizabeth had married first, in a double wedding with her sister, at her father's home in Dunbarton on 23 Oct 1804 (intention recorded Salem, Mass. 9 Sep 1804) Silas Peirce Mosure. In his History of Dunbarton (1860), Caleb Stark said of her, "the lady who married Silas P. Mosure made an unfortunate match. She afterward married David Page." David and Elizabeth are buried in the Old Hopkinton Cemetery. [160]
  • Betsey, b. 9 Mar 1781, d. Concord, NH 10 Aug 1828
  • Laban, b. 4 Aug 1783, d. 9 June 1854, m. Concord, NH 28 April 1813 Nancy DAVIS, b. c.1785, d. Concord 30 Aug 1836, aged 51. Laban appears on the 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses for Concord. In 1850 he was aged 66, living with Hannah H. Page, aged 34, and Ann E. Page, aged 21. Laban and Nancy are buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery, East Concord. [161]
  • Lydia, b. c. 1784, named in her father's 1791 will.
  • Susannah, b. 11 Nov 1785, named in her father's 1791 will.

Haverhill July 1710. At the age of 18, Thomas Whittier sailed with his uncle John Rolfe to New England aboard the Confidence, sailing from Southampton 24 April 1638. Thomas first settled in Salisbury, but soon moved to Haverhill where he took the oath of fidelity in 1650, and became a freeman in 1666. He was a selectman in 1682. In the 1642 will of his uncle Henry Rolfe, Thomas was bequeathed a swarm of bees. Administration of his estate was given to his widow Ruth and eldest son John on 1 Feb 1696/7. His inventory, filed 23 April 1697, amounted to 438 pounds, and his estate was divided on 8 May 1699. A decade later, administration of Ruth's estate was given to her son John on 19 Sep 1710, and in Jan 1710/11 her dower was divided.

Bartholomew Heath was b. England c. 1616 (deposed in 1657, aged 41), d. Haverhill, Mass. 15 Jan 1681[/2], and m. c. 1642 Hannah MOYCE, b. prob. Suffolk County, Eng. say 1616, d. Haverhill 19 June 1677, the probable daughter of Joseph and Hannah Moyce. Bartholomew was the brother of John Heath, who also settled in Haverhill. He became a freeman in 1648, and served several times on juries from 1650 to 1668. His inventory was made 28 March 1682. Children:

John Heath, the son of Bartholomew Heath and Hannah Moyce, was b. Newbury, Mass. 15 Aug 1643, d. Hampton, NH 21 Sep 1706, and m. Haverhill, Mass. 14 Nov 1666 Sarah PARTRIDGE, b.

(7g) John Heath, Jr.[edit]

John, the son of John Heath and Sarah Partridge, was b. Haverhill 14 March 1674/5, and m. Haverhill 12 Jan 1696/7 Frances HUTCHINS, b. Haverhill 7 June 1676, the daughter of Joseph Hutchins and Joanna Corliss of Haverhill. Some source gives a death date of 20 April 1720 for Frances, and John was apparently living when she died. This is not a public record, and I have found no evidence to support this assertion. FAG memorials have been created for John and Frances in the town cemetery of Hampstead, NH, but there appears to be no burial record or grave marker for either. The FAG memorials suggest that John and Frances lived in the part of north Haverhill that was incorporated as Plaistow, NH in 1749. Children, all births recorded in Haverhill: [177]

  • Samuel, b. Haverhill 25 April 1698, m. Haverhill 17 March 1725 (probably 1724/5, based on first child being born in 1725) Elizabeth EMERSON, b. Haverhill 27 June 1699, the daughter of Stephen Emerson and Elizabeth Dustin. They are not the Samuel and Elizabeth Heath who died in Roxbury in 1763, and their death dates remain undiscovered. FAG memorials have been created for Samuel and Elizabeth in the Pentucket Cemetery in Haverhill. [178]
  • John, b. 11 June 1700, m. Haverhill 3 Sep 1728 Lydia BRADLEY, b. Haverhill 31 May 1707, the daughter of Isaac Bradley and Elizabeth Clement. John and Lydia had six to eight children, the first three or four all dying of throat distemper in Sep and Oct 1737 (three of their deaths are recorded in Haverhill records).
  • William, b. 9 Jan 1701/2, m. (1) Haverhill, c. 1725 Elizabeth DOW, b. Haverhill 29 Feb 1703/4. d. there c. 1729, daughter of Stephen Dow Jr. and Mary Hutchins. They had one to three children (likely two). William m. (2) in Haverhill 18 June 1730 Elizabeth GREEN, likely of Bradford, as the marriage is also found in the Bradford vital record. William and second wife Elizabeth had four known children, born 1732 to 1741.
  • Caleb, b. 30 June 1704, d. Hampstead, NH 1753, m. Haverhill 26 March 1730 Susanna EMERSON, b. Haverhill 19 June 1711, daughter of Benjamin emerson and Sarah Silver. Some accounts give Caleb a death date of 25 April 1753, but the New Hampshire vital record in Hampstead only gives the year. Caleb and Susanna had eight children born 1731/2 to 1746.
  • Joanna, b. 13 Feb 1706/7, d. Plaistow 12 Jan 1789, m. c. 1726 Daniel GILE, b. Haverhill 10 Dec 1697, d. Plaistow c. 1795, son of Ephraim Gile and Martha Bradley. Daniel's surname is spelled Gild in his birth record, and other spellings include Guile and Guild. According to the Gile genealogy (p 225), they lived at the foot of Sweet Hill in Plaistow, and Daniel died at the age of nearly 100 years. This genealogy credits them with 13 children, born 1726 to 1752. Memorials have been created in FAG in the Maplewood Cemetery, Haverhill, for Daniel and Joanna, but proof is lacking as to their actual burial location. [179]
  • Bartholomew, b. 1 April 1709, d. 20 April 1784, m. Mary PIKE
  • Sarah, b. 5 Sep 1711, m. Haverhill 14 March 1737/8 Humphrey EMERY, b. Newbury, Mass. 15 April 1715, son of Jonathan Emery and Ruth Richardson. He settled in Dunbarton, NH near the Bow town line. Sarah and Humphrey had ten children born 1738 to 1755 (source: Emery genealogy by Ruffus Emery, p 25).
  • Benjamin, b. 4 April 1713, m. Plaistow (Haverhill Dist.) NH 1744 Sarah (EASTMAN) Emerson, b. Haverhill 16 Feb 1713/4, daughter of Jonathan Eastman and Hannah Green. Sarah was the widow of Robert Emerson, b. Haverhill 6 Oct 1713, d. 1742, the son of Benjamin Emerson and Sarah Silver. Sarah was given administration of the estate of her husband Robert Emerson on 29 Dec 1742. She had four children with him, born 1736 to 1741. Benjamin Heath bought and sold land in Plaistow, NH in 1745, and signed the petition for incorporation of the town on 29 July 1746. On 24 June 1747 settlement of the "account of Benjamin Heath of Haverhill District and Sarah his wife, formerly called Sarah Emerson, late widow of Robert Emerson" took place, Sarah being the adminstratrix of the estate. Benjamin and Sarah had four children together, born 1745 to 1751. In May 1756 Benjamin served in Samuel Watts' company, Col. Nathaniel Meserve's regiment during the Crown Point expedition, being discharged in December. From about 1779 to 1788 Benjamin appears to have lived near his son Robert in Perrystown, later called Sutton, New Hampshire. He is likely one of the two Benjamin Heaths appearing in the 1790 census in Hampstead.
  • Nehemiah, b. 23 Feb 1718, m. at First Church of Kingston, NH 6 Feb 1744/5 Mary EATON, b. Haverhill 31 May 1727, daughter of Samuel Eaton and Mehitable Harriman. They had four known children, born 1745 to 1754.
  • Rachel, b. 20 April 1720, m. Haverhill 27 Nov 1739 Moses JACKMAN, b. Newbury, Mass. 25 June 1719, son of Samuel Jackman and Miriam Plummer. Rachel and Moses had eleven children born c. 1740 to 1759.

(6g) Bartholomew Heath[edit]

Bartholomew, the son of John Heath and Frances Hutchins of Haverhill, Mass., was b. there on 1 April 1709, and died on 20 April 1794, aged 85 years, according to the History of Sanbornton, NH, but the place is not given. He very likely died in Bow, NH. He m. in Haverhill on 3 June 1736 Mary PIKE, b. Haverhill 6 April 1716, the daughter of Hugh Pike and Hannah Emerson. She died on 1 or 11 October 1803, aged 88. Bartholomew and Mary lived in the part of Haverhill that became Plaistow, New Hampshire. Therefore, their earlier children were born in the former, and the rest in the latter, but it is doubtful they ever moved. Later in life they likely moved to Bow, NH where their surviving children lived and are buried. One of their sons and two of their daughters-in-law still have extant tombstones. Of their many children, only four appear to have married and had families. Children: [180]

  • Sarah, b. Haverhill 7 Feb 1736/7, d. Haverhill 24 Sep 1737
  • Solomon, b. Haverhill 28 June 1738, d. Bow, Merrimack Co., NH 18 April 1822, m. Abiah CARLTON, b. Dec 1748, d. 3 May 1801, aged 52y 5m. Solomon and Abiah are buried in the Heath family cemetery in Bow. [181]
  • Laban, b. Haverhill 13 April 1740. A Laban Heath died in Plaistow, NH 28 Dec 1771.
  • Simeon, b. Haverhill 8 May 1742, d. Plaistow 18 Dec 1746
  • Hannah, b. Haverhill 15 April 1744, m. William PAGE, and lived in Dunbarton, NH

  • Simeon, b. Plaistow 6 May 1749, d. Bow, NH 28 Mar 1833, m. in Plaistow 28 Oct 1772 Sarah Carleton, b. 7 April 1752, d. 21 Oct 1818, aged 66, said to be the daughter of Edward Carleton and Abiah Clement. He is likely the Simeon Heath who m. (2) 5 July 1819 at Bow, Betsy Carthane. Sarah has a surviving grave marker in the Heath family cemetery in Bow. [182]
  • Aaron, b. Plaistow 8 Oct 1751, and died there 27 Oct 1751.
  • Samuel, b. Plaistow 3 Feb 1753, d. there 30 Oct 1754.
  • Samuel, b. Plaistow 16 Nov 1755, d. (Sanbornton?) 15 July 1828. He may be the Samuel Heath who m. in Plaistow about 1776 Sarah WHITCHER (sometimes given as Whitaker). If so, then he m. (2) in Plaistow, "about 1784" Hannah CHENEY, b. Plaistow 31 May 1761, d. Plaistow 6 Jan 1811, the daughter of Dustin Cheney and Sarah Mount. Samuel was a Revolutionary War pensioner, but there are so many Samuel Heaths that I cannot determine what his record of service was.

(10g) Joseph Moyse[edit]

Pillsbury Anc:507-8; Hoyt 180-1,262,285-7,796,992

Joseph Moyce was b. say 1590, liv. 1669, and m. Hannah _______, d. 1655. The 1648 will of Nicholas Stanton of Ipswich, Suffolk, England, made a bequest of 40 shillings to Joseph Moyse or his wife, living in New England. The surname Moyce is particular to County Suffolk. It is possible that he is the Joseph Moyce who married 2 Nov 1609 Anna FOLCARD, and had a daughter Anna, bapt. 16 Sep 1618 at Dennington, Suffolk. Joseph was in Salisbury, Mass. as early as 1639, and was a joiner by trade. He was granted land in the town's first division in Dec 1640. Children, prob. b. Suffolk, England:

  • Hannah, b. c. 1616. It is possible that she is the Anna Moyce bapt. at Dennington, Suffolk 16 Sep 1618. Hoyt states that there is no proof that Hannah is the daughter of Joseph, but there is record of none other of the name at that time in New England. Hannah m. Bartholomew HEATH (see above).
  • Martha, b. c. 1619, d. Salisbury, Mass. 26 Feb 1712/3, m. (1) c. 1674 George GOLDWYER, d. Salisbury 12 April 1684; m. (2) Salisbury 30 Oct 1684 Maj Robert PIKE, b. c. 1615, d. Salisbury 12 Dec 1706, son of John Pike who came from Langford, England, sailing aboard the James in 1635..

John Partridge, b. say 1580, d. 1647/8, and m. (1) ________ ______; m. (2) Frances _______, liv. 1647/8. John was called of Olney, Buckinghamshire, England in his nuncupative will based on statements that he made on 20 Jan 1647[/8], and which was drafted as a memorandum on 12 Feb 1647/8 following his death. In it he called himself a laborer, and he called on William Geynes [Gaines], Richard Kent, and Roger Tayre of Olney to settle his debts and maintain his widow Frances Partridge "the then wife of...John" as long as she should live after his decease. After her decease, any overage should go to the children of John's son, William Partridge, and the three children of Henry Gaynes, brother of William Gaynes "all wch said psons now or late were in New England". Only known children:

(9g) John Hutchins (line 1 of 2)[edit]

line 2 at sandbox d2

Essex Genealogist 21:46-9; 27:71-78; Granbury Family (Jacobus et al, 1945?):159,261-2

John Hutchins was b. c. 1604 (aged 65 in Nov 1669), d. Haverhill, Mass. 6 Feb 1685[/6] (VR), and m. c. 1635 Frances _______, b. say 1615, d. Haverhill 5 April 1694 (VR). John and Frances were in New England by 1640 when the birth of their son John was recorded in Newbury, Mass. John is believed to be the "John huchinson Carpentr [aged] 30" enrolled May 1638 as a passenger for the Bevis out of Southampton, but the "Francis Alcock, Virg[in]" on the ship was not his wife, as claimed by many, as he was already married with children before arriving. Apparently his wife and children came on a later ship. The Bevis sailed out of Saouthampton, Hampshire, and most of its passengers were from Hampshire, Wiltshire, and southwestern England. John was a servant of Richard Dummer, who was from Hampshire. The Hutchins surname is most common in neighboring Wiltshire. John was a carpenter who erected and repaired dwellings and meeting houses. He was not well educated, though books were included in his inventory. His work included building the Portsmouth, NH meeting house from 1659 to 1660. In 1665, John's wife was empowered to act as her husband's attorney in 1665 "by reason of his being dumbe." Perhaps he had had a stroke, though he continued to be fairly active another two decades. John's will was dated 24 June 1674 (but seems to have been lost?), and inventory was dated March 1686; the will of his widow "Francis" was dated 4 March 1694. Children of John and Frances:

  • William, b. say 1634 (testified in court April 1656), m. Haverhill 1 July 1661 (VR) Sarah HARDEY, daughter of Thomas Hardy. William is called son-in-law in the 1671/2 will of Thomas Hardy. William lived in the part of Rowley, Mass. called Merrimack Village, later Bradford, Mass.
  • Elizabeth, b. say 1636, d. 1710?, m. Haverhill, Mass. 1 April 1656 (VR) Thomas AYER, b. England c. 1628, d. Haverhill 9 Nov 1686. Thomas served on several grand juries and was a Haverhill selectman in 1680 (see sandbox d2).
  • poss. Samuel [but it appears that this was actually Samuel Hutchinson], b. say 1638, d. Haverhill 18 Jan 1712/3, m. Andover, Mass. 24 June 1662 Hannah JOHNSON, b. c. 1642, daughter of John and Susan Johnson.
  • Joseph, b. Newbury, Mass. 15 Nov 1640 (VR), d. young.
  • Benjamin, b. Newbury 15 May 1641 (VR) [this appears to be the birth date in error; a year of 1644 would fit well with the other known children]
  • Joseph, b. Newbury 10 Oct 1641 (VR), m. Joanna CORLISS (see below).
  • Love, b. Newbury 16 July 1647 (VR), d. Kingston, NH Feb 1739, aged 92, m. Haverhill 15:10m:1668 (15 Dec 1668) Samuel SHERBURNE, b. Portsmouth, NH 4 Aug 1638, d. Casco, ME 4 Aug 1691, son of Henry Sherburne and Rebecca Gibbons. Samuel was killed by Indians at Maquoit, Casco Bay (now Maine). Three known children born 1671/2 to 1688.

(9g) George Corliss[edit]

Corliss Gen:3,6-9,201-21,236-41; Haverhill vital records

George Corliss, b. say 1617, d. Haverhill, Mass. 19 Oct 1686 (VR), and m. Haverhill, 26 Oct 1645 (VR) Joanna DAVIS, b. say 1625, liv. 1687, daughter of Thomas Davis and Christian Bellsire of Marlborough, Wiltshire, England, and Newbury and Haverhill, Mass. Following George's death, Joanna m. (2) Newbury 4 Oct 1687 James Ordway. The Corliss genealogy, cited above, gives no documentary evidence of the origins or arrival in New England of George Corliss, so there is nothing to support "old family records" that Thomas Corliss of Devonshire "appears as the father of George Corliss." The first New England record appears to be his marriage in Haverhill in 1645. He was constable in 1653, and selectman for several years between 1650 and 1679. His will was dated 18 Oct (the day before he died) and proved 23 Nov 1686, with inventory taken 27 Oct 1686. Children, all b. Haverhill:

  • Mary, b. Haverhill 8 Sep 1646 (VR), d. Haverhill 22 Oct 1722 (VR), m. 23 Jan 1665[/6?] (VR) William NEFF of Newbury, b. c. 1641, d. Pemaquid, ME Feb 1688[/9] (Haverhill VR), aged 47 years. They had seven children born from 1667 to c. 1678. William died while serving at Pemaquid (now Bristol Co., ME). While Mary was serving as a nurse for for Hannah (Emerson) Duston, who had recently had a baby, the two women were captured by Indians on 15 March 1697 [1696/7?]. On the night of 30 March, the two women, and another captive named Samuel Lennardson, killed their captors, scalped them. After they returned to Haverhill, they appeared before the General Court in Boston, and Hannah was awarded 25 pounds, while the other two were awarded half that. In 1738, Mary's son Joseph Neff, was awarded 200 acres of land for his mother's services. They received many other gifts as well, including a tankard from Gov. Nicholson of Maryland. A monument to the captors was erected on the island where the captives freed themselves, and was unveiled 17 June 1874; it bears the inscription "Hannah Dustin, Mary Neff, and Samuel Leonardson, March 30th, 1697--Midnight."
  • John, b. Haverhill 4 March 1647/8 (VR), d. Haverhill 17 Feb 1697/8 (VR), m. Haverhill 17 Dec 1684 (VR) Mary WILFORD, b. 18 Nov 1667, daughter of Gilbert Wilford of Ipswich, Mass. They had seven children born from 1685/6 to 1698.
  • Joanna, b. Haverhill 28 April 1650 (VR), d. 29 Oct 1734, m. Haverhill 29 Dec 1669 (VR) Joseph HUTCHINS (see above).

Deborah apparently had an illegitimate daughter, Daborah "et Patre ignoto" (father unknown?), b. Haverhill 21 Feb 1675. Deborah had four children with her first husband born from 1680[/1?] to 1686, and two more with second husband, born 1691 and 1696 (both killed by Indians). Thomas then m. Sarah Haynes.
  • Ann, b. Haverhill 8 Nov 1657 (VR), d. Haverhill 1 June 1691 (VR), m. Haverhill 1 Nov 1677 (VR) John ROBIE, d. Haverhill 16 June 1691 (VR). John had been a soldier during King Philip's War (1675-6), and in 1691 was killed by Indians at Haverhill only a two weeks after his wife died. They had seven children born from 1678 to c. 1690.
  • Huldah, b. Haverhill 18 Nov 1661 (VR), m. Haverhill 5 Nov 1679 (VR) Samuel KINGSBURY, d. Haverhill 26 Sep 1698 (VR). They had two children born 1680 and 1681.

(10g) Thomas Davis[edit]

GM 2:310-16

Thomas Davis was born c. 1603 (aged about 66 in Nov 1669; aged 70 in Nov 1674), d. Haverhill, Mass. 27 July 1683, and m. Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England 14 Nov 1622 Christian Bellsire, b. say 1605, d. Haverhill 7 April 1668. "Thomas Davyes, sawyer, late of Marlborough [Wiltshire]" was a passenger on the James of London, which left Southampton for New England on or about 5 April 1635. There are no records for him for the next six years, but the evidence is fairly conclusive that he is the same as the 1635 passenger. Thomas was a sawyer, mason, and yeoman who first settled in Newbury where he was made a freeman of the colony on 2 June 1641. By 1646 he was living in Haverhill, where he remained. He signed deeds and documents with a mark. His public service consisted of many jury duties. On 25 Sep 1683, William Neff of Haverhill was appointed administrator of Thomas's estate, and an inventory was made a month later on 30 October, totalling nearly 216 pounds. A second administration was granted on 17 Feb 1717/8 to his grandson, John Corliss, but was not acted upon, and a third administration was given once again to Corliss on 15 April 1723. An inventory of remaining estate was made 28 Feb 1728/9 totalling 276 pounds. Children:

  • Joanna, b. say 1625, m. (1) George CORLISS; m. (2) James ORDWAY (see above)
  • Joseph, b. say 1627, d. Haverhill 15 Sep 1671, apparently unmarried.

(8g) Hugh Pike, Sr.[edit]

Hoyt:290,800-1; GDMNH:555

Hugh Pike was b. c. 1657 (aged 21 in 1678), d. Dec 1727 or Jan 1727/8, and m. (1) Newbury, Mass. 17 June 1685 Sarah BROWN, b. 10 May 1663, prob d. by 1691, daughter of Francis Brown and Mary Johnson; m. (2) by 19 Dec 1692 Mary _______, liv. 1717, but d. by 1727. Mary was a granddaughter of Richard Woodhouse or Woodis of Boston. Hugh was a housewright, and a soldier during King Philip's War under Capt. Turner at Hatfield and at Hadley in 1676. He took the oath of allegiance and fidelity at Newbury in 1678. Hugh bought land in Coxhall, Maine in 1694, and it is possible he is connected to the Pikes of Maine. Richard Pike who is the right age to be Hugh's father, was of Newbury in 1655, but settled Falmouth in 1675. Richard had a son Samuel. Hugh's will was dated 2 Dec 1727 and proved 22 Jan 1727/8. Children with first wife:

  • daughter, b. Newbury 18 June 1685, prob. d. young
  • Hugh, b. Newbury 28 May 1686, m. (1) Hannah KELLY; m. (2) Hannah EMERSON (see below).

(7g) Hugh Pike, Jr.[edit]

Hoyt:1000; Haverhill vital records

Hugh, the son of Hugh Pike and Sarah Brown, was b. Newbury, Mass. 28 May 1686, and m. (1) Newbury 30 June 1714 Hannah KELLEY, b. Newbury 17 Nov 1686, d. 1715, the daughter of John Kelley and Sarah Knight. He m. (2) Amesbury, Mass. (also recorded in Newbury) 24 Nov 1715 Hannah EMERSON, b. say 1695, liv. 1734, whose provenance remains in question. Hannah is NOT the daughter of Samuel Emerson and Judith Davis, as stated on SO many websites. Their daughter Hannah who was born in Haverhill in 1691 actually died young. Samuel and Judith then moved to Durham and then Dover, New Hampshire, where they had another daughter named Hannah, born 1699/1700 or thereabouts. This younger Hannah married Job Clements, and was uncomfortably young to marry Hugh Pike, anyway. The search for Hannah's parents continue, and though no one will like this, her mother may have been "Elizabeth Emerson, single woman" who had a few children in Haverhill about the time Hannah would have been born. Hugh Pike likely lived in the part of Haverhill that became Plaistow, NH. His two surviving sons, James and Moses, both had properties in Plaistow, likely obtained, in part, from their father. Hugh and Hannah are likely buried in one of the old cemeteries there. Children, all births in Haverhill vital records: [183]

with first wife, Hannah Kelley:

  • Hannah, b. 31 March 1715 (in both Newbury and Haverhill VR), d. Hampstead, NH 16 Feb 1805. The Haverhill record calls her the daughter of Hugh Pike and Hannah Emerson, but this is likely in error, as she is almost certainly the daughter of Hugh Pike's first wife. Hannah m. Newbury 27 April 1736 Samuel BROWN, b. Newbury 2 July 1712, d. Hampstead, NH Oct 1786, aged 74, the son of James Brown and Rebecca Kelley of Newbury. They had seven children born 1737 to 1749.

with second wife, Hannah Emerson:

  • Mary, b. 6 April 1716, d. 1803, m. Haverhill 3 June 1736 Bartholomew HEATH
  • Solomon, b. 30 May 1717, d. Haverhill 20 Feb 1719/20

Sarah and Francis had 14 children, born 1738 to 1765, and are buried in the Francis Chase Cemetery in Newton, NH, both with extant grave markers. [184]
  • Abigail, b. 23 March 1721, d. Bradford, NH April 1808, m. c. 1743 Annas CAMPBELL, b. Tyrone, Ulster Co., Ireland 1716, d. Henniker, NH 28 Jan 1772, son of Alexander and Janet Campbell. Annas is buried on his farm in Henniker, while Abigail is buried in the Bradford Center Cemetery, Bradford, NH, but no gravestone was found for her during a visit in April 2017. [185]
  • Elizabeth, b. 14 July 1723, m. Haverhill 28 Nov 1745 Joseph DAVIS; no other records found.
  • James, b. 21 May 1725, d. Haverhill 1811, m. Haverhill 12 March 1746/7 Anne GEORGE, b. Haverhill 12 March 1728, living in 1811, the daughter of John Swaddock George and Alice Robinson. James's death record in Haverhill suggests that his wife was still living. James may have been the one of his name from Haverhill who served as a private in Capt Sawyer's company, Col Frye's regiment, that marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775. A James, Jr., likely his son, also served, or maybe both records pertain only to James Jr. James and Anne had seven children with births recorded in the Haverhill records. The oldest child was born in Newbury in 1747, and the last four children were born in Plaistow, NH (1752 to 1763) likely because James lived in the part of Haverhill that became Plaistow.
  • Moses, b. 20 Jan 1726/7, m. 14 Feb 1746/7 (in Plaistow, NH records) Naomi HARRIMAN, b. Haverhill 28 April 1729, the daughter of Abner Harriman and Sarah Merrill. Moses and Naomi apparently lived in the part of Haverhill that became Plaistow, NH around 1750, but sometime about 1765 they apparently moved to Bath, NH, located in Grafton Co. Web accounts give Naomi's death as 1766, and Moses as 1802. His name is on a plaque of those who served during the American Rev. War, located in Bath, but I have been unable to find his war record. Moses and Naomi had seven children, born 1748 to 1765.
