| 7203 | Vina's sister Amanda also ended up in St. Paul. She married Milton W. Taylor born 1854 in Wisconsin, in late 1888 or 89. She maybe had married for the first time in 1878, but at this time I don't know to whom or where. Milton may have children from his first marriage but they had no children together. He also worked for the railroad as a car repainter. They lived at #925 Fremont St., St. Paul. They witnessed the marriage of George Smith and Vina Pulsifer on April 17th, 1888, at the Ramsey County Courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lorraine talked many times of visisting Aunt and Uncle Taylor, because they lived close to the Smith home on 3rd Street. When she and her brother Bob were all dressed up for their 1st Communion they were taken to see Aunt and Uncle Taylor. Uncle Taylor answered the door and wanted to know who the bride and groom were, a happy memory for a little girl. | TAYLOR Milton W. (I37218)

Luther Sisson's obituary in the "Yates County Chronicle" 5 January 1871: Luther Sisson (77 years and 5 days) died at his home in Dresden, January 2, 1871. He was the son of George and his wife Bethany Luther Sisson, natives of Rhode Island. His parents were firm and devoted members of the Friend's Society [led by "the Friend" Jemima Wilkinson, not to be confused with the Society of Friends, the Quakers], and his birth Dec 27, 1793, is said to have been the third in the Friend's Settlement. He was the youngest of the children. His brothers were Benoni and Jonathan, and his sisters Lydia and Lament. Benoni married Mary Meek, and was the father of John and James Sisson of Jerusalem. Jonathan married Catherine Vosbinder and was the father of six children, among whom is Harrison H. Sisson of Jerusalem. Lydia married isaac Prosser and has a son living in Torrey. Lament was the wife of Richard Hayes. George Hayes, her son, lived in Dresden. Luther Sisson grew up under the immediate influence of the Friend's Society, attending the meetings with his parents. In conversation with the writer of this notice in 1868, he spoke with the highest respect of the Friend, and declared in the most emphatic terms that he held statements adverse to her integrity to be utterly false. Mr. Sisson was one of the early school teachers having commenced at the age of 19 in Larzelere Hollow in Jerusalem in 1812. He taught school several years, and was at one time a clerk in the store of William Huston at Eddytown. He married Sarah Maria, sister of Wright Brown, Jr. of Torrey who is still living. They had a son, Charles H. Sisson, who resides at Dresden. Mr. Sisson was in his more vigorous years a man of activity and quietness of thought, and nearly always held some town office. In 1854 and 1855 he was supervisor of the Town of Torrey. As a constable he frequently attended court at Canandaigua, before Yates County was erected, and took a number of persons to jail there when imprisonment for debt was the law of the land. He was a Justice of the Peace, a teacher, merchant, and farmer by turns, and lived to a good old age, retaining his mental vivacity to the lastest period. He was a descendant of Richard and Mary Sisson of 1608 ca. | Sisson Luther (I52744)

| 7217 | Was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War and who had a remarkable military career. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant Edward Annable 1753-1836 Revolutionary War Campaigner On March 11, 1948, Mr. F. R. Blair of General Motors Overseas Operations, New York, wrote about Lieut. Edward Annable, his Revolutionary ancestor, and loaned the following letter, circa 1887, to Anthony Anable (9th generation) to be copied. This letter was written by Fernando C. Annable, son of Lieut. Annable, to Desire Fuller Ormsby, his niece. She was the grandmother of Mr. Blair. ---------------------- Letter from Fernando C. Annable to his niece, Desire Fuller Ormsby, circa 1887: "Respected Niece- Go back in your imaginaion to colonial days-so far that the mist of time makes many things obscure and tradition may magnify the facts--there lived two girls, Dolly Dimick and her sister, Desire Dimick, belles of Boston. Dolly married John Ellis, Jr., and Desire married Samuel Annable, Jr. They moved to Ashfield (New York) and were farmers. This John Ellis, Jr. and Dolly Dimick had a son Dimick Ellis, who married his cousin, Polly Annable, the daughter of Samuel Annable, Jr., both of whom died in Sempronius (New York),and the first funeral I remember of going to was hers. She was over ninety when she died and now I am eighty-two. (This will give you some idea of time.) "This Dimick Ellis and Polly Annable had a son, who is now living in Brooklyn (New York) and has become wealthy in the oil trade. He has written many pamphlets on the new dispensation of Swedenborg (as he calls it ) and last summer went to Europe, and lectured in one of their institutions. He has sent me a number of his books. He is Puritan, purified by Swendenborg. I never saw him but think he is older than I am by a few years. You can easily find him, and he will be delighted to see you. "Your Grandfather, Edward Annable (my father) was eighteen years old when the battle of Lexington was fought and, as soon as he heard the news, he went down to Boston (about 70 miles) and enlisted for a short time, and was at the battle of Bunker Hill. He had some powder and three bullets and one of them was a pewter one. (This I heard him say often.) His father was a Tory, and, when he heard that Edward had enlisted, he hoped he would never come back. (This last item my mother told me.) "Now I will relate what I have heard him relate of the Stony Point attack and surrender. When the men for that attack were called for, the regiment to which he belonged was paraded in a straight line and it was announced by an officer (I think Anthony Wayne, but am not sure) that a certain expedition was required and of so dangerous a nature that it would be no disgrace to any soldier should he decline it, but all who desired to be detailed might shoulder arms. All arms were shouldered. Then an officer passed along the line and touched every other man, saying to him, "Advance". This new line was told again that the expedition was a dangerous one, and it should be no disgrace to decline, but no one would decline, and no one thought of Stony Point. "Out of these men so detailed, a forlorn hope (as father called it) were drawn by ballot to carry axes to cut away the abates. There was a Virginian who was not drawn on the forlorn hope, who told a soldier who was drawn, that his father, who was a planter in Virginia would honor any draft he might draw on him which he would give him, to have his chance in the forlorn hope. This was refused and the Virginian haughtily turned round and said, "I have ever been unfortunate from birth. I have reason to curse my wayward stars. I came within one of dying on the field of honor." Father told me this story more than once when I was a small boy, and it made such an impression on me, to think that a man wanted to die in battle, that I have remembered it until now. "Father was on guard in camp and could distinctly hear the cannon, but did not know where it was. After the expedition had gone out, which everybody knew but did not know what for, Washington was seen walking forward and back in very measured steps. When the cannon was heard he stopped, stood motionless until it ended, and then walked rapidly to his quarters and was not seen again that night. The next morning a messenger brought the news of the surrender. It was then that father's company, or a detail from the regiment (I don't know which), was ordered to Stony Point to relieve Wayne and his men. When he went in to the fort, the clotted blood was to be seen on the ground and looked like butchering hogs (as he expressed it to me). "Father first enlisted for a short period and subsequently for the duration of the war. He never took a furlough, but continued in the service till the close of the war. I do not know at what time he became a lieutenant, but the only captain I ever heard him speak of was Captain Wigglesworth, a Prussian officer, highly educated, who brought many books with him and came over with Lafayette. He had served under Frederick, the Great. He was a very courteous gentleman, well beloved in camp, but a tyrant on parade. From him I think father obtained his education, which was considerable, especially in writing and Roman history. "Father was one of the detailed guard that conducted (Major) Andre to the gallows, and who stood close by. He distincly heard his last words. I will tell you the story as he told it to me. "He was a slim man and had a long neck, and, after taking off his neck handkerchief, he took out three pins from his collar and wove them into his coat sleeve very nicely. His hand trembled while doing it. He was blindfolded and his arms were very loosely tied behind him. Then Colonel Schamel said to him, "if he had anything to say, he could say it now" Then, with some little effort, he raised the handkerchief from his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, I wish you to bear me witness that I meet my fate like a brave man." Then turning towards Colonel Schamel said, "Gentlemen, you may proceed". (These last words were not in the proof sheets you saw and I have called the writer's attention to it). "Father was in the battle of Saratoga, but I never heard him say much about it, that I remember, more than that there was firing going on at different times for three days. He was in the battle of Brandywine, but I do not remember that he said much about that, but often spoke of it and of Lafayette who he thought was a brilliant young man and did well that day. He was not at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered, but was left under (General) Putnam with the New England troops to watch New York City, which that general always wanted to attack and was always importuning Washington to do, and was discontented because he was denied the privilege of doing so. "The battle of Monmouth is a long story as he told it to me. I have never written it before, nor have I told it to my children, but this is what he said about it. It was the hottest day he ever saw, and his regiment went into that battle in their shirt sleeves. They piled their coats on the ground and a guard was placed over them. He was in Lee's division who made the first and abortive attack, for which Lee was censured so severely by Washington. His division again marched forward to the front and received the enemy's fire until they retreated. Following up their retreat was terrible suffering. The enemy filled up the wells behind them. There were no streams nor water to be had and men fell out of the ranks exhausted. On this retreat they found (I think) seven dead Hessions in the shade of an apple tree, who wore their uniforms buttoned up, as on parade, who were not wounded, but had died of heat. "Father said he saw much of Washington that day, galloping his horse about the field, stopping for a few moments in one place and going to another for a few seconds. At one time he stopped, then he galloped off to some other place. I have heard him say that some soldiers died of drinking water, but nothing about Washington's care for them, but probably other officers took care of their soldiers, who knew the danger. I remember that it was thought the heat and fatigue of that day caused his fever sore, and it may be true, but I now think it was probably due to another cause, and I will give you my reason. "Washington wanted to remove the army sixty miles distant. (I do not remember when nor where.) There was no enemy on the route, and the men were told they might break ranks and go as they pleased. A strife got up to see who would go the farthest, and father was one of the few who went through the first day. He carried his musket, cartridge box with twelve rounds of powder and balls, his canteen, three day's provisions, and all the clothes he wore for one year. Twice he performed a similar feat. My mother said he had for years varicose veins, or bunches, as she called them, in the veins many years before they broke out into a sore-but this is beside the question. "All these stories were told to me while a small boy, often to keep me at work. He taught me the letter which Andre wrote to Washington to change the mode of his death, which I can repeat yet, and when I was old enought to read them in history I was greatly surprised to find them printed, for I really supposed that father and I were the only persons that knew it. "Now I have written you a great deal of history that will do you no good if you take the trouble to read it, and it will do you but little hurt if you never tell of it, and I promise never to do it again. Yours Sincerely, (signed) F. C. Annable In the Federal Census of 1790 for Ashfield, Essex County, MA, Lt. Edward and perhaps his father, Samuel are shown living next door to each other. Edward is shown having 1 male16 years and older, including head of household and 5 females in his household.

| 7225 | Was an Episcopelien minister. Reverend Clement H. Beaulieu Bayfield Progress Newspaper Bayfield, WI Tuesday, October 16, 1916 Reverend Clement H. Beaulieu, of Le Sueur, Minnesota, has revisited the place of his birth. Though well past man's allotted span of life and without any particular pull from those "fond recollections" of which the he speaks he has entertained longing to once again see the region were the days of his childhood were spent. Accompanying friends to Ashland, he seized the opportunity afforded him, came to the city Friday and crossed by boat to Madeline Island, setting foot once again upon the soil not trod during a period of 68 years. Reverend Beaulieu’s father, whose name was identical with the sons, was stationed on Madeline Island for some years as agent for American Fur Company, the great early day corporation which builded the fortune that the New York Astor family have since been adding to and spending. The island post, a fort like structure, was attached to what the corporation new as the Fond du Lac District, the headquarters being at the head of Lake Superior where the city of Duluth has since come into being. In log-walled room within the Madeline island fort the claimant was born in on a rigorous night in January twenty-year 1841. There, except for occasional family excursions to Fond du Lac, he remained (a brother and sister being his only playmates, except for the Indian children who lived on the island or whom crossed occasionally from the mainland with their fur-bartering parents) until 1848, in which year the family removed. In the old, and now overgrown, burial ground that it joined the company post repose the bones of Reverend Clements’s paternal grandfather and those of his father's brother, both of whom died there while in service of the fur company. There also are the graves of the two Beaulieu children who died while the family lived on the island. These graves the visitor of last Friday found and to them he gave some attention. The lapse of years in the long lack of attention has resulted in the following of the marking slab's and in the partial obliteration of the inscriptions; but the most noticeable evidence of the passage of time was seen in the tree of body-large size that had grown squarely in the center of the graves of grandfather Beaulieu. >From Madeline Island the family went to Minnesota, finally finding location in St. Paul when civilization had created such a place. The Reverend Beaulieu attended school, going finally to Elizabeth town, New Jersey, and in finishing just his schoolwork at Fay Academy. Entering his own ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church, he has since served continuously in that work, that service being rendered chiefly within the state of Minnesota. >From the state his brother Charles served with distinction and gallantry as captain of a company in the ninth Minnesota infantry during the Civil War. Despite his years of reverent Beaulieu is still vigorous somebody and agile of mind and, though there is no left in all this region practically nothing (not even the lands contour) to be recognized as of the long-ago, he greatly enjoyed his brief visit.

| 7246 | Wayne was born in Momence, IL, the third child and second son of Delia O'Connell and John Wilson, Jr. He went to one-room country schools and attended Momence High School. He served in WWII in the Army Air Corp and was stationed at Chenute Field for a time. He was then sent to the Aleutian Islands. Wayne was always working with his hands...he loved making things. In the service when plastic was first on the market, he made his niece, Sonja, a beautiful clear plastic heart that had a red interior, looking much like tiny veins. He also made himself a false tooth when he had a tooth that needed a crown instead of going to have it fixed by a dentist! After he was discharged from the service, he returned to Grant Park, married and started an electrical business with his younger brother, Gaylord. They were known for miles around as the Wilson Bros. Electrical Contractors. His love for making things extended to the making of wonderful, custom guns. These were muzzle-loaders made to exact replicas of days past. Every part of the gun, down to the screws were made by hand. His most prized possession was a muzzle-loader he had made and later willed it to his favorite niece, Sonja Mortensen, daughter of his sister, Ruby. Sonja has since given it to her only son, Raymond Black, to keep it in the family. Wayne was the quiet one, unlike his siblings. He was serious, thoughtful and also very caring. He had for sometime, been very ill. The doctor in Grant Park was treating him for a liver ailment. The area under his right lung was swollen. When his nephew, Dr. John Mortensen came to visit him and checked him over, he discovered the real problem was a severe heart condition and he was in heart failure. Wayne was taken immediately to the VA hospital where a pacemaker was implanted just under the skin. His nephew had saved his life for many more years. He regained his energy and strength after years of suffering from this unknown heart condition. The misdiagnosis would not be the last in this family. The same doctor in Grant Park also misdiagnosed his brother, Jack, a few years later that resulted in his untimely death. His Social Security number is 354-28-7240 issued in IL. | Wilson Wayne Elwood (I53032)

| 7249 | Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-- Wednesday, October 9, 1912 Charles Bulkley, one of the best known farmers of the Cowanesque valley, died at his home in Osceola on Sept. 28, at 7 o'clock, following an illness of several months. He was born on the farm where he died, Nov. 25, 1827, and would have been 85 years old the 25th of the coming November. He was the son of Ira Bulkley and succeeded his father to the home farm and he also acquired by purchase the larger part of his grandfather's estate which gave him about 500 acres. He is survived by his third wife, also 2 daughters, Mrs Myra Tubbs, widow of the late Henry Tubbs, of Osceola and Carrie, wife of Dr. F. F. Knapp of Elkland. | Buckley Charles (I51709)

| 7280 | When first married, they lived with his brother, Daniel P. M. Davison, near the head of Second Pond. Afterwards, he bought a farm on the east side of Long Pond, in Grafton, NY, where he resided several years. Aunt Fanny Parks, a maiden sister of Aunt Sally Parks-Davison, made her home with them all the rest of her life, and went with them to Illinois, where she died. He lived on a very rough, stoney farm. The great stone heaps and stone walls he built are a tribute to his strength and energy. He always took a great interest in religious matters, being a Deacon in the Baptist Church. In politics, he was a Jackson Democrat and held the highest offices in the town. He was for several years Captain of the Grafton Rifle Co., of New York State. Socially, Uncle Milton's was one of the best places in the world to go visiting. They were always so kind and pleasant. They left the farm and kept the Quackenskill Hotel for awhile before they came to Illinois in 1855. In fact, all the Davisons have left OLD GRAFTON, where our branch of the Davison Family originated. I was there a few years ago, and there was not one there, and no relatives, except by marriage in town. (Written by A. A. Davison in 1905) Milton came to Illinois and took up land west of Minonk, on Grand Prarie. came from rocks and stones of OLD GRAFTON, to where you could seldom find a stone large enough to throw at a bird. Tell that in Grafton, and you would find our veracity at stake. He showed the same dilligence and perserverance that he did in Grafton, and soon established another homestead, and by hard work and increased value of land, acquired a large fortune. Aunt Sally Parks-Davison died May 27, 1885. He then lived with his children about ten years, to the good old age of 83 years, 6 months, and passed away March 19, 1895, after a life well spent in Church, Sunday School, State and Home. They are buried in the Yankee Town Cemetery, eight miles west of Minonk, Illinois. | DAVISON John Milton (I35661)

| 7281 | When I was a little girl my grandmother, Araminta, used to say that her grandmother was a witch. A good witch mind you. She was apparently a mid-wife and herbalist and she "sat with the dead" after the formal wake was over. She was apparently a respected healer in her community of Castine. She had a "big black book of herbal lore and "spells" that Gram used to mention was taken by the "Green side of the family". Flora was married twice, first to a man whose last name was Green and lastly to my Great-Great Grandfather, Amos J. Perkins. The psychic part comes in when her second husband was lost at sea. She was apparently upstairs in her little house in Castine when she heard some coach wheels and a horse pull up at the house. She looked out the window and saw a black coach and horse with a single lit lantern swinging in front. Knowing that this was the coach that sent messages of loved ones lost at sea, she knew that her husband Amos was dead. She went downstairs to greet the messenger formally, but when she got to the front door, the coach had disappeared! A few days later the real coach showed up and she knew that what she had seen was a "sending". Pretty spooky, huh? I guess it's a little late for Halloween...By the way, the story was passed from Flora's daughter Minta to my grandmother to me. Minta apparently had a reputation for telling a pretty mean ghost story. | GRINDLE Flora H. (I38233)

| 7290 | WILES WHITE PAPER PROJECT NO. 5 - “D” Schultz Northern Michigan Family History Charles Wachter, Jr. Mackinac Island Fur Trader-Native American Roots Twice Verified by Daughters' DNA ...by Marie Rundquist and Richard Wiles Mackinac Island on Lake Huron is central to the histories of North America's fur-trading industry in the the 18th and 19th centuries and the Wachter, Fraser, Fisher, and Farlinger (also known as Farling and McFarland) families of northern Michigan. On Mackinac Island, a 3.8 square mile spit of land located at the “tip of the mitten,” mid-way between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, the North American fur-trading industry found its nexus, and a culture, comprised of Canadian fur-traders and their Native American wives, had its beginnings. At the root of this family genealogy and cultural heritage is grandmother “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” whose storied, Scottish surname evokes discussion of John Fraser, a founding partner in Canada's McTavish, Fraser and Co. -- chief suppliers and fur brokers for the legendary North West Company. According to Harry Duckworth, John Fraser had engaged in Canadian business affairs throughout his career, traveling between London and Canada to restore a failed financial position while under the firm of Fraser and Young. John's association with the North American fur-trading industry began in earnest in the early 1790s, when he was at the mid-point of his life, and the McTavish, Fraser and Company was founded 1. Based in Montreal, Fraser's company engaged in commerce with Mackinac Island fur trading society 2, fostering the inter-dependency of the two regions: with Mackinac Island serving as a supplier of furs and Montreal acting as its agent and vital link to the markets of Europe 3. In addition to his wife, Jeanne McKenzie, and two daughters, Justina and Mary, John Fraser had three sons: James, John (whom he helped place on the board of supervisors of the amalgamation of fur-trading giants, the North West and Hudson Bay Companies), and another who became a priest. According to Duckworth, daughter Mary married an unrelated, “James Fraser of Belladrum 4.” Through his partnership with McTavish, Fraser, and Company, John Fraser had in his later years, re-gained his fortune, established a Fraser family legacy in the North American fur-trading business, and he died in 1825, at the age of eighty-three. 5 In the early 1790s, when the McTavish, Fraser and Company was gaining a foot-hold in the local fur-trading economy, “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” of unknown parentage, was born. According to her husband's military records, Nancy-Anne Fraser was a half-breed, a “Metis,” of Anishinaabe (Ottawa (ODAWA)- Chippewa (Ojibwa)) and European (Scottish) ancestry. The Metis culture on Mackinac Island was born of the Native American “country wives,” and the Canadian fur-traders they never “officially” married, but with whom they had first or second families. This kinship-centered, social structure, an integral component of the fur-traders' economic sphere, survived and thrived on Mackinac Island, despite the political struggles between the United States and Britain in the late 18th century 6. Family genealogy has, that in 1814, Nancy-Anne Fraser married James Farlinger, a blacksmith born in Ontario; she and her husband began their family on the nearby Drummond Island, following the James Wachter settlement patterns of other fur-trading families who sought British protection after the War of 1812. Daughters Marie (born 1824), Josephee (Josette) (1815), Elizabeth (1817) and Nancy (1819), were of an age to have attended a Protestant mission school, established on Mackinac Island, for the purpose of educating Indian children, but whose students were mostly the offspring of fur traders and their Native American “country wives 7.” James Farlinger and Nancy Fraser divorced after 1824, and James Farlinger remarried a Lamorandiere. By the mid-1840s, all four daughters had left Drummond Island to marry and begin their own families. The Farlinger daughters' choices of spouses and eventual life circumstances crossed political boundaries and cultures. Daughter Marie and husband Charles Wachter, whose family was part of a commercial, fishing enterprise, married on Mackinac Island, Michigan (1845), and remained close to home. Daughters Josephee (Josette) and Nancy followed the paths of other fur-trader families who moved to Canada with the British: Josephee (Josette) married husband Thaddeus Lamorandiere (1837), and Nancy married David McArthur (1838) at Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. Daughter Elizabeth married into the Beaulieu fur-trading family, established for generations on the Great Lakes 8; she and husband Clement Hudon married in 1835, in St. Joseph, Michigan, an area that was historically sympathetic to the French 9. Daughters Elizabeth and Nancy died in Minnesota, on the White Earth Reservation, in 1903 and 1879, respectively, with Elizabeth's name appearing opposite a number on an Indian Roll, her origins described as “mixed blood.” Daughter Marie died in 1871 on Mackinac Island; her sister Josephee (Josette), died in 1890, in Saginaw, Michigan. Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, where in 2006, the late-descendant of Nancy Farling combed the Internet, visiting family genealogy websites with a singular mission: to uncover the origins of her earliest recorded grandmother, Nancy-Anne Fraser, and a hidden family line. Long after her passing, her posts remain published on the Internet, her earlier questions, and replies received, offering a series of clues, that six years later, in 2012, Petoskey, Michigan historian, researcher Richard Wiles, followed, bread-crumb fashion, as he researched the Wachter et. al. family history. The late descendant left an especially significant clue for Richard to find, one that revealed Nancy-Anne Fraser's earliest roots – her haplogroup “A” (Native American) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results, which were published on a DNA project website next to the name of her earliest ancestor, “Nancy Fraser.” Of genealogical concern, the published haplogroup “A” mtDNA test results revealed the Native American ancestries of Nancy-Anne Fraser and her maternal-line descendant, now deceased. After researching the haplogroup A mtDNA test results with Family Tree DNA representatives and the Administrator of the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Project, Richard Wiles determined that to verify Nancy-Anne Fraser's Native American ancestry, he would need to locate another test participant. In search of a second candidate, he compiled the genealogies assessed for the Wachter et. al. family, referenced earlier in the article, tracing maternal-line ancestries from mother to mother, through each of Nancy-Anne Fraser's four daughters, and discovered a second, maternal-line descendant, who agreed to test. At this point, it is critical to recapitulate the maternal line genealogies of the two candidates: the first candidate, now deceased, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Nancy (Farling), who died on a reservation. The second candidate, discovered through genealogy research, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Marie (Farling), who died on Mackinac Island. For researcher Richard Wiles to verify the accuracy of the compared genealogies, and the Native American ancestry of Nancy-Anne Fraser, the two candidates' mtDNA test results must match! After several weeks, the second candidate's mtDNA test results were returned: a match had been found between the first and second set of mtDNA test results. The original haplogroup A mtDNA finding received by the first candidate, the late descendant of Nancy (Farling), had resolved to the subgroup “A2i,” as the second candidate, a descendant of Marie (Farling), had completed the full mitochondrial sequence DNA test. For the Wachter et. al. family, the discovery of a Native American ancestry, twice-verified by matching haplogroup A / A2i mtDNA test results, revealed the family's historic, Native American – fur trader legacy. As a result of Richard Wiles' persistence in locating a second descendant, and pursuing further mtDNA tests, an esteemed, Native American 10, Mackinac Island cultural heritage that had been destroyed by physical isolation, politics, and prejudice has been recovered for the Wachter, Fisher, Fraser, and Farling families.

| 7292 | WILES WHITE PAPER PROJECT NO. 5 - “D” Schultz Northern Michigan Family History Charles Wachter, Jr. Mackinac Island Fur Trader-Native American Roots Twice Verified by Daughters' DNA ...by Marie Rundquist and Richard Wiles Mackinac Island on Lake Huron is central to the histories of North America's fur-trading industry in the the 18th and 19th centuries and the Wachter, Fraser, Fisher, and Farlinger (also known as Farling and McFarland) families of northern Michigan. On Mackinac Island, a 3.8 square mile spit of land located at the “tip of the mitten,” mid-way between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, the North American fur-trading industry found its nexus, and a culture, comprised of Canadian fur-traders and their Native American wives, had its beginnings. At the root of this family genealogy and cultural heritage is grandmother “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” whose storied, Scottish surname evokes discussion of John Fraser, a founding partner in Canada's McTavish, Fraser and Co. -- chief suppliers and fur brokers for the legendary North West Company. According to Harry Duckworth, John Fraser had engaged in Canadian business affairs throughout his career, traveling between London and Canada to restore a failed financial position while under the firm of Fraser and Young. John's association with the North American fur-trading industry began in earnest in the early 1790s, when he was at the mid-point of his life, and the McTavish, Fraser and Company was founded 1. Based in Montreal, Fraser's company engaged in commerce with Mackinac Island fur trading society 2, fostering the inter-dependency of the two regions: with Mackinac Island serving as a supplier of furs and Montreal acting as its agent and vital link to the markets of Europe 3. In addition to his wife, Jeanne McKenzie, and two daughters, Justina and Mary, John Fraser had three sons: James, John (whom he helped place on the board of supervisors of the amalgamation of fur-trading giants, the North West and Hudson Bay Companies), and another who became a priest. According to Duckworth, daughter Mary married an unrelated, “James Fraser of Belladrum 4.” Through his partnership with McTavish, Fraser, and Company, John Fraser had in his later years, re-gained his fortune, established a Fraser family legacy in the North American fur-trading business, and he died in 1825, at the age of eighty-three. 5 In the early 1790s, when the McTavish, Fraser and Company was gaining a foot-hold in the local fur-trading economy, “Nancy-Anne Fraser,” of unknown parentage, was born. According to her husband's military records, Nancy-Anne Fraser was a half-breed, a “Metis,” of Anishinaabe (Ottawa (ODAWA)- Chippewa (Ojibwa)) and European (Scottish) ancestry. The Metis culture on Mackinac Island was born of the Native American “country wives,” and the Canadian fur-traders they never “officially” married, but with whom they had first or second families. This kinship-centered, social structure, an integral component of the fur-traders' economic sphere, survived and thrived on Mackinac Island, despite the political struggles between the United States and Britain in the late 18th century 6. Family genealogy has, that in 1814, Nancy-Anne Fraser married James Farlinger, a blacksmith born in Ontario; she and her husband began their family on the nearby Drummond Island, following the James Wachter settlement patterns of other fur-trading families who sought British protection after the War of 1812. Daughters Marie (born 1824), Josephee (Josette) (1815), Elizabeth (1817) and Nancy (1819), were of an age to have attended a Protestant mission school, established on Mackinac Island, for the purpose of educating Indian children, but whose students were mostly the offspring of fur traders and their Native American “country wives 7.” James Farlinger and Nancy Fraser divorced after 1824, and James Farlinger remarried a Lamorandiere. By the mid-1840s, all four daughters had left Drummond Island to marry and begin their own families. The Farlinger daughters' choices of spouses and eventual life circumstances crossed political boundaries and cultures. Daughter Marie and husband Charles Wachter, whose family was part of a commercial, fishing enterprise, married on Mackinac Island, Michigan (1845), and remained close to home. Daughters Josephee (Josette) and Nancy followed the paths of other fur-trader families who moved to Canada with the British: Josephee (Josette) married husband Thaddeus Lamorandiere (1837), and Nancy married David McArthur (1838) at Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. Daughter Elizabeth married into the Beaulieu fur-trading family, established for generations on the Great Lakes 8; she and husband Clement Hudon married in 1835, in St. Joseph, Michigan, an area that was historically sympathetic to the French 9. Daughters Elizabeth and Nancy died in Minnesota, on the White Earth Reservation, in 1903 and 1879, respectively, with Elizabeth's name appearing opposite a number on an Indian Roll, her origins described as “mixed blood.” Daughter Marie died in 1871 on Mackinac Island; her sister Josephee (Josette), died in 1890, in Saginaw, Michigan. Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, where in 2006, the late-descendant of Nancy Farling combed the Internet, visiting family genealogy websites with a singular mission: to uncover the origins of her earliest recorded grandmother, Nancy-Anne Fraser, and a hidden family line. Long after her passing, her posts remain published on the Internet, her earlier questions, and replies received, offering a series of clues, that six years later, in 2012, Petoskey, Michigan historian, researcher Richard Wiles, followed, bread-crumb fashion, as he researched the Wachter et. al. family history. The late descendant left an especially significant clue for Richard to find, one that revealed Nancy-Anne Fraser's earliest roots – her haplogroup “A” (Native American) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results, which were published on a DNA project website next to the name of her earliest ancestor, “Nancy Fraser.” Of genealogical concern, the published haplogroup “A” mtDNA test results revealed the Native American ancestries of Nancy-Anne Fraser and her maternal-line descendant, now deceased. After researching the haplogroup A mtDNA test results with Family Tree DNA representatives and the Administrator of the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Project, Richard Wiles determined that to verify Nancy-Anne Fraser's Native American ancestry, he would need to locate another test participant. In search of a second candidate, he compiled the genealogies assessed for the Wachter et. al. family, referenced earlier in the article, tracing maternal-line ancestries from mother to mother, through each of Nancy-Anne Fraser's four daughters, and discovered a second, maternal-line descendant, who agreed to test. At this point, it is critical to recapitulate the maternal line genealogies of the two candidates: the first candidate, now deceased, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Nancy (Farling), who died on a reservation. The second candidate, discovered through genealogy research, descended from Nancy-Anne Fraser through daughter Marie (Farling), who died on Mackinac Island. For researcher Richard Wiles to verify the accuracy of the compared genealogies, and the Native American ancestry of Nancy-Anne Fraser, the two candidates' mtDNA test results must match! After several weeks, the second candidate's mtDNA test results were returned: a match had been found between the first and second set of mtDNA test results. The original haplogroup A mtDNA finding received by the first candidate, the late descendant of Nancy (Farling), had resolved to the subgroup “A2i,” as the second candidate, a descendant of Marie (Farling), had completed the full mitochondrial sequence DNA test. For the Wachter et. al. family, the discovery of a Native American ancestry, twice-verified by matching haplogroup A / A2i mtDNA test results, revealed the family's historic, Native American – fur trader legacy. As a result of Richard Wiles' persistence in locating a second descendant, and pursuing further mtDNA tests, an esteemed, Native American 10, Mackinac Island cultural heritage that had been destroyed by physical isolation, politics, and prejudice has been recovered for the Wachter, Fisher, Fraser, and Farling families.

| 7300 | William de Beauchamp (d.1170) of Salwarpe and Elmley allegedly married Bertha dau. of William de Braose (d.1211). The latter's great grandson, William de Braose (d.1230) of Abergavenny had a dau. & coheir Maud (d.1301) who married Roger de Mortimer (d.1282) of Wigmore. Saunders gives no marriage of a Bertha de Braose (or of a Maud de B) to William de Beauchamp. Turton does give the marriage of Bertha and William based on information from the first edition (1910) of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*. As far as I can tell the second edition omits any reference to the early Beauchamps. B Burke's *Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages of the British Empire* (London, 1883) p.29 has William Beachamp marrying a Maud de Braose. Since (1) Burke is to be treated with extreme caution, (2)it seems that the editors of the second edition of *The Complete Peerage* deleted material on the early Beauchamps and (3) Saunders notes marriages between the baronial families dealt with but omits this marriage, the upshot would seem to be that there is no hard evidence of a Braose marriage to William Beauchamp (d.1170).

| 7303 | William Goldsmith Brown was born on March 3, 1812 in Whitingham, Vermont. William Goldsmith was the second son of Nathan Brown sr. and Betsey Goldsmith Brown. William’s brother Nathan jr., as mentioned earlier, was 5 years older. There were also, 2 daughters, Sophia and Nancy, of which I find only brief mention. William Goldsmith and his older brother Nathan, shared a passion for education, both attending William College. Nathan graduated Valedictorian in 1827 at the age of 20. In 1833 William Goldsmith entered Williams College but was forced to leave at the end of his junior year because of poor health. William had received a serious hip injury from a fall from a horse drawn wagon when in his teens, an injury from which he never fully recovered. All of his life he walked with a limp and often used a cane. His name was later placed on the alumni roll at Williams College. Nathan married Eliza Ballard, sister of a classmate at Williams College. William Goldsmith married Eunice Fisher of Halifax, Vermont, a nearby town. William and Eunice had 5 children; Anna Judson, Addison, Mary E. Fred C. and Francis Fisher. Eunice Fisher Brown died in Wisconsin sometime before 1868. William Goldsmith received his early schooling in New Hampton, NH and at the Bennington, Vt. seminary where his brother Nathan was a teacher. In spite of his injury, William became a teacher and at various times taught school in Bennington, Whitingham, Holyoke and Shelburne Falls. William Goldsmith took up the challenge of a newspaper editor and publisher in 1840 as editor of the Vermont Telegraph, then later, The Voice of Freedom, both papers were published in Brandon, Vt. and still later, the Chicopee Journal, in Chicopee, MA. When William Goldsmith left Brandon, Vermont, he turned the publishing of the Voice of Freedom paper over to his brother, Nathan. While in college Nathan had written a poem that he attempted to have published, he was just nineteen years old. The poem entitled “The Missionary’s Call” was offered to a number of publishers without success. No one was interested in publishing his work at that time, but he was heard to say, that if ever his poem was published, it would be his sign from God for him to enter the mission field. When Nathan took over the job as publisher of the Brandon newspaper from his brother, he published his own poem! His message from God heeded, he began to prepare for the mission field. In 1832 Nathan resigned his position with the Telegraph and enrolled in Newton Seminary (presently Andover Newton) to study for the ministry. In December of that same year Nathan and his wife embarked for Burma as a missionary for the Baptist church. For two years he was stationed at Maulmain, Burma. Nathan learned the Burmese language and then was transferred to a station 800 miles from Calcutta into the country of Assam. He then had the challenge of learning yet another language. In 1855, after twenty-two years of toil and suffering in Assam, India the Browns returned to America. Two of their children died while in India. Much of his story is told in the book, The Whole World Kin, edited and compiled by Nathan’s wife, Mrs.E.W.Brown. Seventeen years later, after recovering his health and after working as editor of a publication for the Baptist church, in America, he completed his life’s work in Japan. In 1873 he left his home in Claremont, New Hampshire for Yokohama, Japan. Learning yet another language. He died in Yokohama in 1886 at the age of 79. One of the projects he is remembered for is the translation of the Bible into Vernacular Japanese. A copy of that Bible is in the archives at Harvard Theological College library. There is enough material on record to write a whole book just on the life of Nathan Brown. I do not thing I will attempt it. I will say this though; Nathan left a long list of accomplishments in America, India and Japan. He was known as a linguist and found languages easy to comprehend and translate. In 1856 William Goldsmith moved his family to Springfield, Mass. where he lived while editor and publisher of the Chicopee Journal. His son Francis Fisher attended high school there in Chicopee. Shortly before the Civil war William Goldsmith went west, eventually locating in Farmington, Wisconsin. His daughter, Anna Judson joined him there in 1865 when she was twenty-five years of age. _______ In the U.S. Census of 1870, William Goldsmith Brown, Eunice Brown, Anna J. Preston and Frank Preston all lived in Farmington. Later moving to a farm in Linwood, Wisconsin, which was near his shingle mill on Mill Creek. William Goldsmith Brown had a talent for writing, especially poetry. Over the years he acquired a name for himself as an author and editor and eventually was honored by being declared Poet Laureate of Portage County, Wisconsin. A selection of Brown’s poetry follows this chapter. Their son Francis Fisher Brown, carried on the tradition of writer and author. During his lifetime he made a name for himself with the Dial Magazine in Chicago. One of Francis fisher’s best known works, “The Everyday life of Abraham Lincoln” has been reprinted and declared to be one of the best accounts of the life of Abraham Lincoln ever written. Francis Fisher Brown was is business in Chicago and one year before the famous Chicago fire, he lost his printing business to fire. His friend Frank Lloyd Wright, designed his new reading room and publishing house there in Chicago. *Just a note: Francis Fisher Brown was of frail health from a sickness suffered during the Civil War of which he never fully recovered his physical strength. He operated his publishing business in Chicago and raised his family in Pasadena, California. A close friend and fellow writer in California was John Muir the naturalist. William Goldsmith’s brother Nathan had a heart for God. In his boyhood he established his role as a missionary. The following is a quote from the book the Whole World Kin as compiled by Nathan’s wife, many years later. “One day some seventy-five years ago a little lad came out of the doorway of a low, unpainted farm-house in Vermont, with a sorrowful, yet determined expression on his face. He trudged along the country road for a considerable distance; his countenance growing more troubled as he proceeded, till at length overcome, apparently by fear or distress, he turned and ran home, the tears coursing down his cheeks. After being comforted and encouraged by his mother, he started out again, but was overcome and turned back as before. He had evidently undertaken some difficult or unpleasant business, but it was not given up; again he set out, furnished now with a trifling commission from his mother, to open the way for his own more serious errand. On he marched with more heart to the house of a rather remote neighbor. It was Mr.---, an isolated, rough-mannered man, of whom the country people reported strange things; that he believed in no life apart from this green earth; that he had been heard to say that he should come back as one of the birds, squirrels or cattle when done with this body; and worse than all, that the Bible was not true, and that there was no God! Filled with concern by these reports, the little boy had for some days been thinking the matter over; had become oppressed I with a sense of responsibility, and determined to visit the atheist. His mother had noticed his seriousness, discovered his plan and fearing that he might encounter harshness and profanity, had tried to dissuade him from going, till, finding that the idea was a fixed conscientious purpose, she had at length consented, and the child has set out on his errand. At last the two mile walk along the hilly road was accomplished; the house was reached, and the mother’s message delivered. The real object of the visit was then discovered by the question. “Mr.---do you believe the Bible?” “No; no more than I believe in the dog’s barking.” Not daunted by this blunt negative, the little missionary commenced trying to convince the unbeliever that there is a God. “Who the h*$#&*---sent you here to tell me that?” was the angry retort. “Nobody sent me,” returned the boy, “but I came to tell you THERE IS A GOD.” He said it as he would have told a blind man there is a sun; and then turned homeward, his mission accomplished, his mind at rest. Transcript of a letter from Alice Mable Preston Eggelston believed to be written in 1965. As a child of 12, Alice talked to her grandfather, William Goldsmith Brown, hearing many stories, words of wisdom and more. She was able to capture the following bits of family history. “The Ancestors of this Brown family came to America from England to join his brother Peter Brown of the Mayflower colony in 1600 **see note. Joshua Brown was born in the 1700’s and he and his brothers served in the Revolutionary War. A record of all these facts is written in the book the Whole World Kin.

The following is from a letter written by Phil Loghry, gg-grandson of William H. H. Loghry: By the way, he generally preferred to use his second name, Henry. Henry enlisted in the Union Army on March 29, 1864. He was later captured by the Confederate Army, and held for seven months in the Andersonville Prison. He was ultimately released on a prisoner exchange agreement, April 1, 1865, and was honorably discharged on May 30, 1865. During his time in prison, his wife, Elizabeth took ill and died, leaving their children (Charles, JULIA, and Freddie) homeless. By the way, Freddie was a girl...notice the female spelling of the name; also Charles' obit states his brother (Frank), and two sisters (JULIA and Freddie) preceded him in death. Ok, back to the homeless children; I can only assume that brother Frank and wife Elizabeth Sicklar Loghry took the children into their home and cared for them until after their father was discharged from the Army, since both families at that time lived in St. Anne, ILL. (Real estate records show Frank as owning a home in St. Anne during this period. Henry is not listed of owning property there.) Some of this is only speculation on my part, but it could answer the confusion about who JULIA's parents were...I have no doubt that Wm. Henry, and Elizabeth Williams Loghry were her parents, but (speculation) Uncle Frank and Aunt Elizabeth Sicklar Loghry took her & siblings in for quite a long time, since father Henry needed to re-establish a home after the war. On Oct 16, 1866, William Henry married again, to Mrs. Henrietta Swan, a soldier's widow. There were nine children from this union.

| 7307 | William Morrison Posted by Dick Campbell Apr 1999 "William Morrison, one of Becker County's earliest white settlers, was born in Montreal, Canada, March 7th, 1785. His father was a Scotch immigrant named Allan Morrison, a native of Stornoway, on the Lewis, one of the Hebrides or western Isles, forming part of Scotland, and his mother a Canadian French lady named Jane (or Jessie) Wadin. William having received a common school education, commenced clerking in a store in Montreal before he was fifteen years of age. Montreal was at that time the home and general headquarters of the British and Canadian fur traders, who came down the Ottawa and St Lawrence Rivers, in mackinaw boats and birch-bark canoes, every summer, with their winter's collectionof furs, and returned the same season, to the far Northwest, with a new supply of goods for the next winter's business. The few avenues to fortunes presented to the ambitious young men by the Canada of that day, coupled with the tales of adventures, and stories of the large profits made in the fur trade, fired young Morrison's ambition, and he at the early age of sixteen, was apprenticed by his father with the Northwest Fur Company, then the great rival of the more ancient Hudson's Bay Company, and started for old Grand Portage on Lake Superior, the Company's western headquarters, with the returning boats. The next year, in 1802, he was sent to Leech Lake and thence to an outpost on the headwaters of one of the streams tributary to the Crow Wing River, from which point they collected furs from their Indian hunters scattered through what is now Becker and Otter Tail Counties. These Indians were Pillager Chippewas, and from information gathered from some of the old Indians I knew at Leech Lake in 1870, and who remembered well "Sha-gah-nansh-eence," the "Little Englishman," as he was called by the Chippewas, I would locate this outpost at Shell Lake. In 1803-4 Morrison wintered at Upper Rice Lake on the head waters of the Wild Rice River, and it was during that winter and the spring of 1804 that he visited Lake Itasca and the various smaller lakes which form part of the source of the Mississippi River. No white man had ever visited that country before Morrison, and he rightfully claimed to be the discoverer of the source of this great river, although Nicollet, Beltrami and Schoolcraft all claimed this honor several years later. It being the policy of the Northwest Fur Company not to allow any of its traders to remain more than one or two years at the game outpost, Morrison was, in this manner, enabled to visit many places, and became well acquainted with the fur resources of a vast territory; the knowledge so acquired soon proved of great value to him. His industrious habits and natural shrewdness, coupled with his ability to handle the rough "voyageurs" and his popularity among the Indians, soon attracted the notice of his employers, and after several years spent in managing various trading posts tn Minnesota, he was placed in charge of a number of them, with headquarters at Sandy Lake, on the upper Mississippi River. It was while stationed there that an incident occurred, illustrating his popularity with, and influence over the Indians. Tecumseh's brother, "The Prophet," had sent out his tobacco to all the western and northwestern tribes, with a secret message to the Indians to join him in a general massacre of the whites in the Indian country. Such was the reputation and influence of this famous grand medicine man, the prophet, over the Indians, that although the Chippewas were of a peaceful disposition and had no great cause of complaint against their traders, they dared not refuse the invitation. The tobacco sent was smoked in secret council, the Indians withdrew away from the trading posts, and generally assumed an unfriendly attitude. Morrison had left Sandy Lake and gone on a business trip to Fond du Lac, to meet with the other chief traders and the managing board of the Northwest Company. While there, messengers came in from Sandy Lake and a number of other trading posts, with reports, that the Indians were acting in an unfriendly manner, and that their actions indicated there was mischief a brewing, but none of the traders' employes could find out what the trouble was. The assembled traders decided that Morrison was the only one able to get the secret out of the Indians, and he started at once for Sandy Lake, his own post, with the messenger who had brought the report. They had a light birch canoe and traveled rapidly, so that on the forenoon of the third day they paddled out of Prairie River into Sandy Lake. Some young Indians, who were returning from a deer hunt, recognizing him, hurried home to spread the news, that the "Little Englishman" was coming home. From stray hints heard while at Fond du Lac,Morrison had made up his mind that "The Prophet" was at the bottom of the trouble, and he soon decided on his plan of action. Paddling close to the shore he was soon opposite the wigwams of the Indians, but contrary to custom he never stopped to enquire about the news and kept on as if in a great hurry. This nettled the suspicious Indians, and one of them was sent on to intercept Morrison above one of the small portages which cut across the points formed by the long bends of the Mississippi River, below the mouth of the Sandy Lake River. His face was painted black, and as Morrison did not seem to notice him, the Indian hailed the canoe, when the paddlers stopped. "You seem to be in great hurry," said the Indian, "what news where you come from?" "Nothing," answered Morrison, "and what is going on here?" "Nothing here either." Then Morrison slowly began paddling away; stopping suddenly, he half turned around saying: "Oh yes, there is some news I was forgetting. The great medicine man, "The Prophet," has been killed by the Long Knives, (the Americans). Then he resumed paddling and soon reached his stockade, a short distance down the Mississippi. The next day the Indians flocked in and resumed friendly relations, without showing the least sign of ill feeling. As luck would have it, messengers came a few days afterwards from Lake Superior; confirming his report of the death of "The Prophet," and all circumstances connected with the plot came out. It was a lucky hit. Morrison had calculated that if he could get the Indians to come around, he would succeed in getting them started out deer hunting, birch-bark raising, etc., and get them scattered, so they could not spend their days of idleness in plotting more mischief. William Morrison stayed with the Northwest Fur Company until in 1816, when being offered better inducements, he joined the American Fur Company (John Jacob Astor's), and was placed in charge of the department of Fond du Lac, with headquarters at Old Superior, Wisconsin. This department embracing within its territory, Lake Vermillion, Red Lake, Sandy Lake, Leech Lake, Lake Winnebagoshish, Cass Lake, Otter Tail Lake, Crow Wing on the Mississippi, and Grand Portage on Lake Superior. He remained in charge of John Jacob Astor's business there until 1826, when having acquired what was called a competency for those day', he retired from the fur trade and returned to Canada. There to purchased a large island, since known as Morrison's Island, in the St. Lawrence River, between Old Fort William Henry, now Sorel, on the south shore, and Berthier-en-Haut, on the north shore of the river. For some years he was engaged in farming, but pastoral life was too quiet and unexciting for his active mind, and after a few years spent on the farm, he settled in Berthier, where for many years he carried on a mercantile business, and was also judge of the county court. While trading in the upper Mississippi country, he married a Pillager Chippewa woman, by whom he had two boys and a girl. His wife dying soon after the birth of the last born, the children were, according to Indian custom, taken care of by the wife's mother, who always thereafter followed and lived with her grandchildren. When Morrison left the Indian country in 1826, he made arrangements to take his three children with him, but on the eve of the day set for the departure of the boats, from Superior for Mackinoe, the grandmother stole the children and disappeared during the night. Search for them was made for several days, but with-out success, and they were necessarily left behind. They returned eventually to Leech Lake, and in course of time the two boys grew to be great hunters and warriors, and many Sioux scalps dangled from their belts whenever they went out with a war party. In spite of their Indian bringing up, and thanks to the good advice given them by their uncle, Allan Morrison, they never forgot that they were of white blood, and always exercised their influence over their reckless tribesmen to keep them from molesting the whites, and but for the stand take n by Joseph, (or Ay-gans as the Indians called him), at Leech Lake during the outbreak of 1862, there would have been a massacre of the employes and traders at the agency. Hole-in-the-day, head chief of the Mississippi Chippewas, had stirred up the Pillagers to such a pitch that they had robbed the stores and made the whites prisoners. They had met in several councils and the most reckless of them had decided that the whites must die the next morning. Ay-gans had taken an active part in the councils, but had always taken the part of the prisoners. At last, when he saw that all his efforts had been in vain, he got up and spoke about their comradeship in war and in the hunts, and also on their relationship to one another and of that law of nature which binds kin to kin, and then he bared his arm, displaying his light skin, saying: "You are talking of killing our white friends. and you say they must die tomorrow. Look at this arm; it is light colored, the blood that runs through it is white man's blood, and when you kill our white friends you will kill me also." That last part of the speech was telling. Ay- gans was a brave man, and his last words, were to Indian ears, both defiant and threatening. The next morning other brave men took sides with the whites and their lives were spared. They were marched down to Gull Lake as prisoners, and turned over to the care of the Gull Lake Indians, and afterwards liberated. Descendants of this Jos. Morrison are now settled on the Wild Rice River in Norman County, but formerly were a part of the first contingent of Otter Tail Chippewas, who removed with their father to Becker County in 1872, and settled around the present agency and the Old Trading Post. The daughter was taken into the family of one of the missionaries and followed them to Stillwater, where she married a German farmer, and died several years ago. Joseph died at Beaulieu, Minn., in January, 1889. His older brother Richard, or Dekaince, died at Otter Tail Lake about 1870. William Morrison's second wife was a Miss Ronssain, daughter of a Fond du Lac, Minn., Indian trader. She was the mother of two sons and two daughters, and went with her husband to Canada, where she died a few years afterwards. William, the older of the two boys, left Canada for the. west and eventually joining one of Col. Fremont's expeditions to the Pacific coast, went to California, where he settled and died about 1850. The younger son, Donald George, left Canada before he was twenty years of age, and worked his way through Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin to Minnesota, where he settled in the Red River valley near the boundary line, and became a member of the territorial Legislature of Minnesota. A few years later he settled in Old Superior; Wisconsin, where he was elected register of deeds of Douglas County, an office he held for years afterwards. He died in Superior, in 1898. After the death: of his second wife, William Morrison found himself with four young children, with none but hired help to manage and care for them, so after a couple years of this kind of existence, he married Miss Elizabeth Ann Kittson, an elder sister of the late Commodore N. W. Kittson of St Paul, Minnesota. Four daughters were born of that union. Mrs. Morrison died in February, 1864, and her husband, who had been blind for several years could not bear up long under the blow. He aged rapidly after this, and although surrounded by kind friends who endeavored by their attentions and company, to keep his mind interested in the events of the day, he lost all interest in life and gradually passed away. He died on Morrison's Island August 7th, 1866, and was buried in Sorel, alongside of his last wife. In religion he was an Episcopalian, and in politics a Conservative, and a strong supporter of the Canadian government in the troublesome years of 1837-38, and possessed of much influence with the authorities. This he used to good advantage after the rebellion, and was instrumental in saving the lives and liberty of many of his patriotic friends." from pages 226 - 232 in the book "A Pioneer History of Becker County Minnesota" by Alvin H.

| 7311 | William was a printer in Auburn, possibly working with Samuel Right Brown before the demise of Samuel, on the Cayuga Patriot. He lived at 46 Orchard Street in Auburn, Cayuga county, NY. In 1850, however, he is listed as a Prison Keeper in the Auburn Census. He married Rebecca Wood/Weed of Preston, Chenango county, NY and had at least two children; Thurlow Weed Brown and daughter, Emma. After the death of Rebecca at the age of 55 years old, William moved to Fort Atkinson, WI to be with his children where he died in 1878. In an article published in the Cayuga Republican on 1 Oct. 1828, is mentions the death of Edward Weed, a merchant of Weedsport, aged 32 years, died in Auburn on 30 of Sept. 1828 at the house of his brother-in-law, William Brown, Esq. | Brown William (I52691)

| 7313 | William was in Liverpool, Nova Scotia for a time,living on Coffin Island. He joined his brothers, Isaac and Ephraim there. He came back to fight in the Rev. War for the state of Massachusetts as did his brother, Isaac. An Annable Island is name after the Annble brothers who lived there in Nova Scotia. | Annable William (I53226)

| 7317 | William was the son of William Weeden. | Weeden William (I53951)
|
| 7318 | William was the youngest son, and one of seven children. He became a Methodist minister,being ordained in 1833 and started preaching in Kennebunk in 1834. While he was preaching, he married Frances Allen. They were married in Kittery by her brother, William Allen, who was a lawyer and a judge. As court was in session at the time, her brother brought all of the court officials to the wedding. He preached for a number of years until his family became larger. He then apparently resigned and took other work that paid better. At some point, he took his family to Mechanic Falls, NY where he became Depot Master. In the 1850 Census report, Arthur, his son, is living with them. Son, William and daughter, Henrietta are living in Mechanic Falls. In the 1860 Census report, they were living in Oxford where William was active in the Methodist Church again. His sons, William,3rd. and Arthur were the first to join the army. Both brothers were wounded in action. Prior to the Civil War, William took a trip to California. I wonder if this was with a Sheldon Annable and a Wright who went prospecting for gold? (Mentioned in the "Anable Family of America" by Anthony Anable, 11th generation.) In the spring of 1864, Rev. William entered the Army as a chaplain after moving his wife and daughter to Portland, Maine. He became ill with pneumonia while at Winchester, Virginia and lost his life while serving in the Civil War. It was reported that the Masons of Portland brought his body back for burial. His widow, Frances filed for a pension and after much difficulty was able to get a small amount. The above information is by Ira Brown and family, 1946. | Brown, Jr. William (I50493)

| 7319 | William went by the name of Henry during his life. He married Elenor Jane Townsend,(known by Jane) dau. of Uriah Townsend of Dresden, Yates County,NY. At the time of his marriage, Henry was living in Cameron, NY according to " The Vital Records of Western New York" There is another birthdate of 2 Feb 1815. I don't know which one is correct. In a letter written from Cameron, March 15, 1880, Charles Loghry, husband to Juliette Brown, sister to Henry; writes to his son, William Henry Harrison Loghry (Henry,the above's namesake) and mentions 'Uncle Henry', William Henry Harrison Brown.

At the time the 1870 Federal Census was taken for Torrey, Yates County, it shows that William and Jane were living next door to Wright Brown, Jr., his uncle. William went by the name of Henry during his life. He married Elenor Jane Townsend,(known by Jane) dau. of Uriah Townsend of Dresden, Yates County,NY. At the time of his marriage, Henry was living in Cameron, NY according to " The Vital Records of Western New York" William and Jane lived next door to Wright Brown, Jr. and his wife, Emily in Torrey in 1870. In another data base on Ancestry.com he is listed as being born on 2 Feb. 1815 in Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. | Brown William Henry Harrison (I52924)

| 7320 | William White, a wool carder, perhaps related to the White family of Sturton le Steeple, was one of the first twelve men on the Mayflower who were in a position to be called Mr. or Master because of social or economical status. He was a leading "stranger" who joined the Mayflower journey to America. Little is known about Pilgrim William White. He and Susanna White left England with son, Resolved. At Cape Cod, on Nov. 11, 1620 according to the old calendar, William was one of the forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact. Two to three weeks later, son Peregrine was born, the first English birth in Plymouth Colony. Susanna was widowed in February. Their two servants died about the same time. Susanna became the first colony bride in May, marrying Edward Winslow, a Mayflower passenger who had lost his wife a few weeks before. At least five children were born to Susanna and Edward Winslow. SUMMARY: The ancestry of William White of the Mayflower is not known. Incorrect royal lineages have been given for him, as well as an incorrect identification of him as the son of Rev. John White of London. William Bradford wrote that William White came on the Mayflower with his wife "Susanna". There is a marriage record in Leyden on 27 January 1612 for a William White, woolcomber, and an "Anna" Fuller, sister of Samuel Fuller. The marriage was witnessed by Sarah Priest and Samuel Fuller. This record, however, does not relate to the Mayflower passenger, as commonly claimed. The reasons for this conclusion are as follows: A William White had Sarah Priest witness his marriage; a William White in 1621 witnessed the marriage of Sarah Priest. However, the William White of the Mayflower was dead in America and could not have witnessed Sarah Priest's marriage. It would therefore appear that this is not the William White who came on the Mayflower. Susanna, widow of William White, married second Edward Winslow. Anna Fuller was baptized in 1577, and Edward Winslow in 1595. It is most unlikely that 25-year old Edward Winslow would marry a woman 18 years older than him for his first wife. Children of William White were buried in infancy in 1613, 1615, and 1616. These deaths indicate it would be most unlikely they had a child Resolved in 1615. Susanna, wife of William White, is not Susanna Tilley either, another common claim. That "theory" was disproved in Pilgrim Notes & Queries 1:1. From http://mayflowerhistory.com/white-william/ William White BAPTIZED: 25 January 1586/7 at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England, son of Edward and Thomasine (Cross)(May) White. MARRIAGE: Susanna Jackson, about 1614, probably in Amsterdam. CHILDREN: Resolved and Peregrine. DEATH: 21 February 1620/1 at Plymouth. Important Note: The origins of William White in England were just recently discovered in 2017 in a collaborative research project by Caleb Johnson, Sue Allan, and Simon Neal. The results of this research were published in the following peer-reviewed genealogical articles: Caleb Johnson, Sue Allan and Simon Neal, "The English Origin and Kinship of Mayflower Passengers William White and Dorothy (May) Bradford of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire," The American Genealogist, 89-2(April 2017):81-94 and 89-3(July 2017):168-188. Sue Allan, Caleb Johnson and Simon Neal, "The Origin of Mayflower Passenger Susanna (Jackson)(White) Winslow," The American Genealogist 89-4(October 2017):241-264. William White was baptized on 25 January 1586/7 at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England, the son of Edward and Thomasine (Cross)(May) White. His mother, Thomasine, was married to John May, and was therefore was also the grandmother to Mayflower passenger Dorothy May. William's mother Thomasine was buried on 10 November 1591 at Wisbech. His father Edward died about 1594 when he was seven, and he went to live with his maternal grandmother Jacomine and her second husband Thomas Robinson. Thomas Robinson died in 1595, so widow Jacomine raised her grandchildren William (and sister Martha) White. Martha died and was buried at the age of 19 in 1608, and (turning 21 that year) William headed off with his half-siblings Henry and Jacomine May to Amsterdam (he was given permission to reside in Amsterdam in June 1608), where they joined the church congregation of Henry Ainsworth. William White witnessed the marriage of his half-sister Jacomine to Amsterdam printer Jan l'Ecluse on 5 May 1609. He married Susanna Jackson, daughter of Richard and Mary (Pettinger) Jackson. Susanna was likely born and raised in Scrooby, and her father held a lease for a portion of Scrooby Manor. She may have fled with her father to Amsterdam in 1608, and there married William White. William and Susanna had their son Resolved about 1615, and son Peregrine was born sometime the last three days of November 1620, after arrival and anchorage off Provincetown Harbor, but before the Pilgrims had explored and found Plymouth. William died the first winter, 21 February 1620/1, on the same day as three other passengers, including William Mullins. His wife Susanna remarried to Edward Winslow a few months later, on 12 May 1621, being the first marriage to occur at Plymouth. | WHITE William (I10055)

| 7323 | William, well educated and an Alderman of London was the son of John and Anne Russell Vassall. He was a man of some wealth who was one of the original patentees of New England lands and Massachusetts Bay Company and was one of Craddock's Assistant at the time he was made acting Governor of the Massachusetts Company of London. In 1630, Vassall came to New England on the "Arabella" with John Winthrop from Prittlewell, Essex County, England, but returned to London in 1631 in the ship "Lyon", being chosen with his brother by the colonist to present their petitions of complaints against Endicott's government to Craddock in England. He returned, leaving London 17 June 1635 in the ship, "Blessing" at age 42 years with his wife, and six children, whom he left in Roxbury while he built his house at Scituate on the beautiful location overlooking river, marshes and ocean. It was known as "Belle House" on his plantation, 'West Newland.'. (NEHGR 17:56; Deane, Scituate, p. 366; Pope) They became members of the Scituate Reformed Church. William became involved in the religious and political life of both colonies. He became a follower of Rev. John Lathrop, a religious refugee from London who was also quite controversial. In 1646, finding himself out of sympathy with the colonial leaders and seemingly ran afoul of his neighbors because of the Child Petition, Vassall went back to England, and in 1648, without returning to Scituate, went to Barbados and had estates in both Barbados and Jamaica where he became even more wealthy. Some evidence exists that he dealt heavily in the slave trade. He died and is buried in the Parish of St. Michael in 1655. In his will, dated 13 July, 1655, he names his son, John and his daughters, Judith, Francis, Ann, Margaret and Mary. (NEHGR 17:57) BIOGRAPHY: The following is from "The Vassalls of New England": He was the first of his name who came to this country, was an Assistant in the Massachusetts Bay Company, and one of the original patentees of New England lands. At a formal meeting of the Governor and Company held October 15, 1629, he, with others, was appointed "to go over," and in the next year he arrived in this country, but returned after a short stay, in the ship Lyon. In June, 1635, he embarked with wife and six children on board the Blessing, for New England. Upon his arrival here it would seem that he settled first in Roxbury; for we find in the Church Records of that town the following entry made by the Rev. John Eliot in his account of the church members: "Mrs Anna Vassaile, the wife of Mr. William Vassaile. Her husband brought five children to this land, Judith, Frances, John, Margaret, Mary." (and one other, Ann, afterwards married to Nicolas Ware). How long he remained at Roxbury we do not know, but, November 28, 1636, we find him connected with the church at Scituate, in which town Deane says he erected a house in 1635, on land laid out to him by order of the Court, and which he called West Newland. He took the oath of fidelity at Scituate, February 1, 1638. In December, 1639, license was granted him "to make an oyster bed in North River," before his house. In 1642 he was chosen one of a council of war, aggressions having been threatened by the Narragansetts, and in 1643 his name appears on the militia roll. In 1644-5 he was prominently concerned in the division of the church at Scituate, and the settlement of Mr. Witherell over the disaffected portion, against the advice of protestations of the churches at Plymouth and Marshfield. The separation of the churches arose partially from the views held by its pastor, the Rev. Charles Chauncy, upon the ordiannce of baptism, with whom Mr. Vassall had early disputed on dotrinal points. (for an interesting discussion of the subject see Deane's "Scituate".) In 1646 he sailed for England, in the Supply, in aid of a petition for the redress of wrongs in the government, and never returned, but in 1648 removed to Barbadoes, and there died in 1655, aged 65 years. His will is dated at Barbadoes, July 13, 1655. He bequeathed to his son John one-third of all his estates, and the remainder to his daughters, Judith, Frances, Ann, Margaret, and Mary. His son was appointed executor, and in his absence Nicolas Ware, who appointed, May 8, 1656, Capt. Joshua Hubbard of Hingham, his attorney for the sale of the Scituate estate, by virtue of two writings, one signed by Resolved White and James Adams, February 18, 1656, and the other by Margaret and Mary Vassall, March 3, 1655-6. The estate was conveyed by Joshua Hubbard to John Cushen and Mathyas Briggs, for £120, and consisted of about 120 acres, with house and barns. The deed was signed by Joshua Hubbard, Resolved White and Judith his wife, and James Adams, July 18, 1657. According to Adventurers of Purse & Person, Virginia 1607-1624/5 by Virginia M. Meyer/John Frederick Dorman, 1987 (Abstracted): John VASSALL, father of William, was a subscriber for two shares of stock in the Virginia Company with an investment of £25.10.0 in 1618, and was the son of John VASSALL, a Huguenot of Normandy, sent into England by his father because of the troubles in France. In 1588 John, of county Essex, England, fitted out at his own expense and commanded two ships, the Samuel and the Little Toby, to help repel the Spanish Armada. The arms granted to him by queen Elizabeth I in consequence of this service were adopted by his family thereafter n place of those used by his French forebears. John VASSALL m (1), 25 Sept. 1569, Anne HEWES [HUGHES], who died without issue, (2), 4 Sept. 1580, Anne RUSSELL of Ratcliffe, Co Middlesex, buried 5 May 1593, and (3), 27 March 1594, Judith (BOROUGH [ABOROUGH]) Scott, daughter of Stephen BOROUGH and his wife Joan OVERYE of Stepney and of Chatham, County Kent, and widow of Thomas SCOTT of Colchester, County Essex. John VASSALL was an alderman of London and also a vestryman in Stepney Parish, Co Middlesex, where his three marriages took place. In a deposition made in 1610, John VASSALL described himself as of Eastwood, Essex, and aged 62. He died 13 Sept. 1625 of the plague and was buried at St. Dunstan, Stepney. His will, dated 29 April 1625, proved 16 Sept. 1625, named his wife Judith and his children. His wife, Judith VASSALL of Eastwood, Co Essex, died testate, her will dated 09 Nov. 1638, proved Jan. 1638/9. Issue of John VASSALL by Anne RUSSELL included Judith, baptized 25 March 1582; d after 29 April 1625; married John FREEBORNE of Prittlewell, Essex (will dated 27 Jan. 1617/8, proved 17 Feb. 1617/8); Samuel; John, born 14 March 1589/90, died 30 Aug. 1591; and William. By his third wife, Judith BORROUGHS (Scott), John VASSALL left issue: Anna, born 10 Jan. 1595/6, buried 24 July 1640, married John JONES, rector of St. Nicholas Acons, London, who died 14 May 1636 at Highgate, Middlesex; Rachel, who m Peter ANDREWES of Ratcliffe, Middlesex (d 1650); Stephen, who matriculated Pembroke College, Cambridge, 1616, with a B.A. 1619/20, and an M.A. 1623, later the rector of Rayleigh, Essex, died 1643, married (1) Mary BROMLEY of Orsett, Essex (d 30 Jan. 1632/3), and (2) Mary GRUBB(E) of St. Alban's , Hertfordshire, b 2 Jan. 1614/5, who resided at Rayleigh when she made a deposition in 1646, aged 30; Thomas, born 7 April 1602, of St. Leonard, Eastcheap, London, when he married and of Whitechapel, London, in 1651, who m 27 June 1625 at St. Nicholas Acons, London, Anne DICKENSON; Mary, who married Edward WEST of Ratcliffe, a mariner; Elizabeth, born 1607, of Ratcliffe, Middlesex, m, 20 Jan. 1625/6 at St. Nicholas Acons, London, Henry CHURCH, born 1602, of Wapping, Middlesex. William VASSALL'S son John VASSALL, born about 1625, served as a lieutenant of militia, 1652, and later as captain, at Scituate, Mass. John VASSALL sold his New England holdings by 1661 and moved to the West Indies, then or later. He engaged also in the settlement of Cape Fear, NC, was appointed Surveyor General of "Our County of Clarendon" by the Proprietors, 24 Nov. 1664, and in 1667 applied for relief to be sent to his followers and himself. By April 1670 he was in Virginia where as "Colonel" John VASSALL he was chosen as guardian, on 24 Feb. 1670/1, by his nephew John WARE. Col. John VASSALL married Anna LEWIS, daughter of John LEWIS, an English resident of Genoa. On 17 Dec. 1671 John VASSALL gave a power of attorney to his wife Anna, and Edward LEWIS, had apparently left Virginia by 17 March 1672/3 when his wife was acting in his behalf, and clearly was away by 9 April 1674. His plantation of 1170 acres in Old Rappahannock County, now Essex, which he bought from John WEIR, 7 Jan. 1667/8, was sold to Mrs. Honoria WEIR, 13 July 1671. He was a resident of Jamaica when he made his will, 10 Aug. 1684-6 July 1688, which mentioned his wife and children. His widow was naturalized there, 20 July 1685, and was buried 23 Feb. 1719/20 (will dated 20 Feb. 1719/20, proved 2 April 1720). William VASSALL'S daughter, Anna VASSALL, born about 1629, married, before July 1655, Nicholas WARE of Old Rappahannock County, merchant, who was named executor of the will of her father and purchased Resolved WHITE'S portion of their father-in-law's estate, 17 March 1656/7, and Mary VASSALL'S portion, 11 May 1657. As a merchant of St. Michael's, Barbados, 3 Jan. 1661/2, Nicholas WARE gave bond to John VASSALL of Barbados to secure payment to VASSALL for "four good negroes." Their son, John, born 19 Oct. 1656, probably the John WARE who married Mrs. Elizabeth MORGAN and left will dated 24 July 1703, proved 29 March 1704, which mentioned wife Elizabeth, son John WARE, daughter Elizaeth WARE and sons-in-law [stepsons] Anthony and Robert MORGAN. (Adventurers of Purse & Person, Virginia 1607-1624/5 by Virginia M. Meyer/John Frederick Dorman, 1987) Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691, Eugene Aubrey Stratton, FASG, Ancestry, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, 1986, pp. 365-6provides some additional data abt additional descendants of William VASSALL (d ca1655, Barbados): "William VASSALL, born ca. 1593, the son of John VASSALL, an alderman of London. William and his brother Samuel VASSALL were among the original patentees of the Massachusetts Bay Company. William came to New England in 1630 as a Bay Colony Assistant, but returned to England after a short while� In 1635 he sailed aboard the Blessing, at age forty-two, with his wife Ann, age forty-two; and children Judith, sixteen; Frances, twelve; John ten; Ann, six; Margaret, two; and Mary, one; and settled at Roxbury in the Bay Colony. Shortly after, however, he moved to Scituate, the Plymouth Colony town closest to the Bay Colony (NEHGR 17:56; Deane, Scituate, p. 366; Pope). His involvement in the religious and political life of both colonies can be seen in the text. He left in 1646 for England in connection with the Child petition, and never returned to New England. He later moved to Barbadoes, where he was quite prosperous, and he died there in 1655. In his will, dated 13 July 1655, he named his son John, and his daughters Judith, Frances, Ann, Margaret, and Mary (NEHGR 17:57). VASSALL'S wife was Ann KING, and she was possibly related to the Thomas KING who also sailed on the Blessing and settled at Scituate (see NEHGR 109:95). Of their children, Judith married Mayflower passenger Resolved WHITE and their descendants can be found in MF 1, and Frances married James ADAMS, son of John ADAMS, q.v. Son John VASSALL was on the 1643 ATBA for Scituate, and in 1652 he was a lieutenant under Capt. James CUDWORTH, but later left the colony. Daughter Ann married Nicholas WARE, and daughter Margaret married Joshua HUBBARD (also seen as HOBART) (Torrey, p. 377)�Though William himself seems to have had no Virginia connection, his son John and his daughter Anne, wife of Nicholas WARE, were residents of Rappahannock Couty, Virginia, and his brother Samuel died on a voyage to Virginia. Additional information on William VASSALL is given in Roger D. Joslyn, "The English Origin of John Stockbridge and His First Wife Ann," (NGSQ 74:111) Note: Elsewhere, Stratton states that John STOCKBRIDGE'S wife, Ann, was neè KENDALL, and that she was among those who, with the VASSALLS, were members of the Scituate Reformed Church (See Combs &c. Families of the Plymouth Colony, MA) One John VASSALL appears as a headright in the land patents of Virginia on 20 Aug 1650 (Isle of Wight - VA Patent Book 2:240) by Robert BLAKE & Samuell ELDRIDGE, 560 A. described as "Lyeing upon the third swamp SW by W from Henry WHITE'S plantation." Other headrights included: John CLEMENTS, Edw. ALCHARD, Jo. STORREY, Wm. BATTS, Eliza. PHILLIPS, Richard WALTON, Mary MARTIN, Martha COLE, Tho. SYER, and Wm. BALDWINN. (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. I, Nugent, p. 197) Question: Could SYER be SAYER? See Also John CLEMENTS of Talbot Co MD associated with the Combs-Roe Families. John VASSALL was in Old Rappahannock Co VA on 04 Jul 1670 (Old Rappa. DB7:108-111) when he witnessed the indenture between "William UNDERWOOD Senyr. of the Parrish of Sittingborne in the County of Rappa.:" and Mr. John FOXHALL of Pope's Creek in the County of Westmoreland, Merchant," the former being the son of Col. Wm. UNDERWOOD whose widow, Elizabeth, had married by 1663 Archdale Combs I of Old Rappa. Co VA, and the latter having been the father-in-law of one Alexander GORGES whose relationship to Sir Ferdinando & Mary ARCHDALE Gorges remains unknown thus far (we're working on it). Apparently the relationship between Nicholas WARE and John WEIRE of Old Rappa. Co VA also remains unknown. That there was one seems probable based on the close associations between the two families. John WEIRE appears in the records of Lancaster Co VA by 04 Sep 1650 when he witnessed a deed between Richard COLEMAN and Wm. VEALE & John VAUSE for land on the south side of the Rappa. River [later Old Rappa. Co, then Essex], adj. George MOSELY. (Lancaster Court Orders, 1652-1655, p. 206, Fleet's Col. Abstracts). Note: William VEALE d testate with will dated 1693 (apparently not extant) in which he deeded land in (Lancaster > Old Rappa. >) Essex Co VA to his grandson, Charles Combs (unidentified). A patent for 500 A land in Gloucester Co VA, dated 25 Mar 1655/6, for Peter FORD included as a headright one John WARE, the land described as "Cacamount on the northeast side of Mettopony [Mattapony] River beginning at a lower tree of Capt.

(Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 1, p. 208) It is not known if John WEIRE d in VA or MD (or elsewhere), but it appears probable that "The Island" was a Maryland tract. Robert PAYNE and Abraham Combs of Old Rappa. Co VA & St. Mary's Co MD (where he d in 1684) were godparents to the children of John & Joane (Combs?) Meador, with Abraham self-titled the "brother-in-law" of John MEADORS. (See also below). It also appears, based on his use of the phrase "daughter-in-law" (step-daughter) that John WEIRE was not Honoria's first marriage (not researched). Witness William MOSELEY was the uncle (somehow) of William UNDERWOOD, Sr., the above-referenced step-son of Archdale & Elizabeth UNKNOWN Underwood Underwood Combs of Old Rappa. Co VA (whose relationship to Abraham and Charles Combs remains unknown, albeit highly probable that there was one). By 04 Sep 1684 John WEIRE'S widow, Honoria, had already married and buried George JONES of Old Rappahannock, and was acting as Administratix of JONES' estate. (Old Rappahannock OB, 1683-1686, p. 40 (55), Old Rappahannock Order Book Abstracts, 1683-85, Ruth & Sam Sparacio, Antient Press, McLean, VA, 1990) George JONES had been a co-administrator in 1679 with Amory BUTLER of the estate of Col.

| 7331 | With his fathers family moved to North Stonington, CT in 1701 where his father died in 1703. In 1706 when administrator was granted of the fathers estate to Sarah, the mother, and Peter Davison, brother of the deceased, Josiah is recorded as age 14. No record of guardianship has been discovered for any of his father’s children, nothing is known of him in the ensuing five years, to 1711, though a minor, probably acting for himself, from foregoing deeds to him. Josiah had learned the “Potters” trade at age 19 years and was doing business. He afterwards is described as a “Carpenter” and finally as a “Miller”. Josiah Davisson’s family has become a legion in numbers and in force from ocean to ocean. It is very important that from the day he settled at Wading River, Long Island, until his grandson came out of the dark ages of Virginia. No vital records exist other than a few preserved in Bible and court deeds and records. The fables of family tradition have in a way, aided to locate persons and places. The seven sons of Josiah Davisson of Millstone, NJ with the possible exception of two, went to Virginia, and Daniel was the first to go. He located in that part of Augusta Co. which is now Rockingham, first on “James Branch”, 1746. During the next 20 years, the older sons of Josiah followed. About 1780 they or their sons were inhabitants of what is now Harrison Co., WV. “The Davisson’s” who are all descendants of Josiah are one of the strong lines of descent from our common ancestor, Daniel Davison, 1630-1693, the “Exile”. At about 40 years of age, Josiah, for some reason became Davisson. He had eight sons, six of whom took the new name and have sent it down to the present. The reason for this change is shrouded in mystery, but some have believed it was on account of ill will toward Robert Davison of the Monmouth, NJ family. Josiah came to the Millstone Valley below where Princeton now is situated in 1736, with limited means. He purchased thirty-three acres of land, including the site of the Aqueduct Mills, and in a quarter of a century acquired the lands upon the east side of the Millstone up to the Cranbury branch. Here he found Robert Davison in the forks of the streams with Scotch determination to remain, an unverified tradition says. A line fence sometimes makes better enemies, so it may be imagined that Josiah, who had until then non but yielding competition, may have thought this reason enough for putting a new thread in his tartan. This is not history, only tradition, possibly a myth. | DAVISSON Josiah (I34709)

| 7342 | Wright Jr. is the fourth child of Wright Sr's second marriage. His father and mother moved him and the rest of their family to Milo, Yates County, in 1808 from Providence and earlier, Stillwater, Saratoga County, NY. They left their farm in Stillwater which was located on the battlefield where his father had fought during the Revolutionary War. No land records can be found there. It is thought they may have rented the farm in Stillwater before moving on to Providence. He father, Wright Sr., homesteaded forty acres in Torrey (Milo) and later gave a portion to his son, Wright Jr. to which he added many more acres. The homestead was still in possession of the family as late as the death of Wright Jr. in 1874. I do not know if it still remains in the Brown family today. Wright Brown, Jr. was always regarded as a substantial citizen and was called upon to discharge public duties in various capacities among his neighbors and it is believed with universal satisfaction. He was also a man of inquiring mind and generous spirit and it was said that his life was truly a blessing to those associated with him and his death was a greater loss to others than to himself, for he had lost his sight and sat in darkness for many years and had suffered much from a nervous derangement due to an unsuccessful operation. (Taken from his obituary.) Wright enjoyed being one of the first Masters of the Masons in Torry. This was taken out of a family bible owned by Marjelia Chubb and past down to her grandson, D. Michael Beard of Arlington, TX. Also, in this Bible, there is a reference someone had written in pencel,"Who is Sam Brown?" Sam was Wright's half-brother by his father's first marriage to Hannah Newland. Census Report of 1825 Milo, Yates County, NY for Wright Brown, Jr.: 3 males and 2 females.

Vital Records Extracted from the Yates County Chronicle, 9 July 1874. Editor: Stafford C. Cleveland May - July 1874 Died at his residence in the town of Torrey, Wright Brown, Esq., on Sunday June 28th, aged 78 years. Mr. Brown has been a resident of the locality since 1808, and was the son of Wright Brown, who was born in New Hampshire in 1750, and was associated with his father in the French war and afterwards in the Revolution, participating in the battle at White Plains and at Stillwater, Saratoga County, and after the war, settled on the farm which was the battlefield of that memorable event, the "Stillwater farm." Althought he had served through the war seven years, he sternly refused to accept a pension for his services, to the day of his death, from personal pride and early educational influences. It was at this farm in Saratoga Mr. Wright Brown of whom we write, was born, June 1, 1796, and he was the fourth child of a second marriage. Mr. Brown, the father, was induced to emigrate to this section and in1808 settled on what remained his homestead about forty acres, and also formed a portion of the homestead of the son during his life, and he having added many acres to it. Mr. Brown, Jr. married Emily King of Port Byron, and they have four children; Sarah D., Margaret R., Richard K; and Justina S.

| 7343 | Written and read by Pamela Freeman (Brustman) - Daughter 6-23-19 at Susan’s memorial Words. There are never any words to sufficiently express sorrow. Never the right words to adequately express what it is you feel when someone passes from this life, and summarily, out of yours. See, it isn’t the space that is now there, where there used to reside a person. The place setting that will never be set again, the book we will never read to them again, the birthday card bought ahead of time, and now not given, nor received. It isn’t even that we now use past tense rather than current or future when we speak of them. It is that the mind forgets and allows you to think they ARE. That there is a still, still. Seeing something, a new bird, or the cat doing something silly, or tasting a new dish at a restaurant, or wanting advice on a recipe, you reach for the phone, forgetting. It is that forgetting, like that, when you have to remember anew that they are, in fact, now gone, and grieve afresh. The sudden wash of tears when you thought you were done when driving home because you thought of something they did or said, or that you would have liked to share with them. What words dare to claim they can articulate such? None. And so we cover our tracks with Those words, there aren’t enough words… there are no words… And yet, I stand here, and am going to attempt to put into mere words what my mother was, to me. She was, as you all know, my Mother. My writing has this capitalized. Because she was, at the heart of my world, my mom. Can I say that again? She was the heart of my world. We had our scrimmages, our battles, our not so puppies and rainbows times. Sure. But we ended up being not just mom and daughter. We were best friends. So I lost not only my mom, but one of my very best friends, I lost her grievously slowly, little by little, due to Alzheimer's Disease. But I am going to back up a bit. My mom was smart, educated, well-read, a life-long learner, and witty. My mom could be silly. I view this as a virtue or attribute just as being generous and educated are. And it was a part of who she was. She was extremely talented, she was famous amongst friends and relatives as both cook and baker.. At various holidays she would commence baking, pans and pans of caramel rolls, and then deliver them to friends and family. She would make Christmas cookies and candies and give those out, known for her italian anise cookies. She made hundreds and hundreds of them. So she gifted me her talent of cooking, but also, she taught me to love to cook. She taught me that cooking is a form of love - it is a gift, that you create for those you love. Food is not just substance on a plate, it is carefully crafted, color and texture and flavors chosen to all work together, just as an orchestra plays together, I grew up with food made from scratch, and nearly anything you can think of made at home, jam, salsa, sauces - spaghetti bbq sauce, whatever, my mom made it. Thursdays were bread making day. She would time it so that the bread would come out of the oven as we got off the bus so we could cut thick slices of bread so warm it hardly held together flopping and draping as we covered it with butter and ate it greedily. To my mom, food was a gift, something she could give. So this is what I learned beside her and amongst my aunts in the kitchen, that food is part of the joy of living, and it is part of giving that joy and love to others. When the extended family, and by this I mean primarily the Childs family, gathered, we would often clump around the kitchen. The kitchen was where the laughter and voices blended into what to me was the music of my childhood. And so too, came song, as the Sisters and their Mother would sing. Singing was something that seemed to just flow out of the Sisters and my grandma. They would spontaneously break out into song, harmonizing and blending. She sewed, just about anything and everything. I grew up wearing clothes she sewed, including making the patterns. She painted and drew. I don’t know if there was much that she tried and failed at. Now, I am not saying she was super-mom, though, she was. And i AM and was biased. But, she really did do all those things, she really was incredibly intellectual, she read higher mathematics and mathematical philosophy books for fun. She loved to learn. As a mom, she got up every morning early to make sure we had a hot breakfast before going to school. Regardless of whether she was working, which she did not, when we were very young, but as we got older, she went back to work. She made sure we had hot breakfast every morning. Mondays were fried or soft boiled eggs, toast, and bacon. Tuesdays were pancakes from scratch, Wednesdays were either cornmeal mush or oatmeal, Thursdays were scrambled eggs, and Fridays were either waffles or French Toast. We were also read to and helped to learn to read when quite young. My entire family, dad, brother, mom, and myself were and are voracious readers. Books introduced me to new worlds and adventures, encouraged my own imagination and seduced me with a love for words. We had amazing family vacations throughout childhood into adulthood, usually camping in a tent, when we were young, because that is what we could afford. It engendered my love and appreciation for the outdoors that is a large part of who I am today. Later, my mom’s work with the Mn PCA introduced me to the politics and work of environmental regulation and sparked my own interest and concern for the environment. She had an amazingly beautiful voice and she LOVED to sing. Some of my earliest memories involve her singing. We would go camping, pretty much every summer after school let out. And at night, my brother and I would be tucked into our musty smelling sleeping bags on the ever-leaking air mattresses that would be flat by morning, and she would sing us lullabies. Hush little baby don’t say a word, momma’s going to buy you a mocking bird… I loved that. I still hear her voice in my head singing it. And as I said, she and the Sisters and my grandma sang. It was like spontaneous combustion except with song. She sang in church choirs, i remember. I don’t think though that she was so much wanting accolades or attention for her singing so much as she just loved to sing. She was even known to sing Sentimental Journey, in Oppish I believe there are people here who have heard her do that. Perhaps at an MPCA party? She sang at Gable Pines, and i heard that staff and residents there loved her singing. To my mom, singing was an expression of being alive, she sang as a bird will sing upon a branch. She sang because song was in her. I mentioned the Sisters. My mom was the middle of five sisters. I remember hearing her sing some little ditty she had come up with about them, the song named them, in order, and their mother, its a good thing there is no brother. Something like that. The Sisters, we capitalize it, are a formidable force in the family. Their mother, Margaret, before she died, was the center pole of the family. But the Sisters are what have held the fabric of the family together for so long after sub-families began to have families of their own. There are traditions that came down in the family. Sunday nights watching Mutual of Omaha wild kingdom and then Disney as a family, with popcorn, made on the stove, with butter and salt on it, and home made cocao, and peanut butter toast, maybe apple wedges. We would say snitch when we passed by a cemetery Christmas Eve family gathering, dressing up for it, with a fancy dinner, and then a family photo before the gift opening. And at every gathering, the Sisters and grandma would do Bowling Green. We’re the girls from Bowling Green, but you can’t bowl on our Green… This is a women’s only thing, done in a line, with gestures. It was a Child’s women thing, and it was demanded by the men, with much teasing and laughter. It began as the Sisters and grandma only,but eventually drafted all of the younger and married into the family women, also. There are some photos in the back that depict Bowling Green. These are gifts handed down, passed down as family heirlooms. So my mom sang Oppish for her comrades at the PCA. It was my mom’s job at the PCA, information officer, public relations, that made me want to look at this type of work myself. I graduated with a communications degree with an emphasis in public relations. I remember her time at the PCA. She felt the gravity of that job. But she had fun, too. I remember her talking about wearing a fake nose and mustache and having Good Morning Vietnam as her computer boot up. She talked about her work and her co workers in ways that made me want to work there. And she made friendships that lasted through her retirement and even her days in the memory care center. So my mom gave me motherly advice, as mom’s do. She taught me the important things, such as good table manners, that food, although a gift, really ought to not be seen or heard once in the mouth. She told me that “Girls who expect to date, shouldn’t expectorate.” I believe that was a quote from when she was a girl, from her schooling. I don’t. Expectorate. She taught me that spiders are scary. And it is ok to scream when you see one. She taught me to not be too serious. My mom, loving mother, once planted fake ants in my brother’s kitchen cabinet for him to discover. My brother was afraid of ants. She thought it was pretty funny. She once made, when they were not so ubiquitous as they are now, a dirt cake. This was very early in my brother’s dating with Sue, who he married. My mom made a cake in a clean terra cotta pot, covered the top with crumbled oreos, and put a small plant or flower, I don’t remember what it was, in it, protected from the actual cake, of course. She use a clean small garden shovel to dig into it and serve it and we have the most wonderous photo of Sue leaning back and looking absolutely horrified that my mom was serving this. My mom had a great sense of humor. Her eyes would sparkle with laughter and glee. So. One last thing. She gave me a last gift. Or someone did. Some of you know, probably, that she died when I was away. I was in Europe. Well. The day before we were to leave, I took the day off, so that I could run errands, do last minute stuff, and most importantly, see my mom. Now, up until then for the last month, maybe two, she had not recognized me when I went to see her. See, before she stopped recognizing me, when I went to see her, she would see me and her whole face would light up and she would say, often very loudly, Pam, that’s Pam, my daughter! But the last couple of months, I would go, and she would acknowledge that I was there, but her eyes were blank. She didn’t know who I was, just that I said I was there to see her and perhaps she knew me. So, that Thursday I stopped in, and she and my dad were in the upstairs dining room, listening to a woman with a guitar sing. And I came round the corner and was in front of everyone and she saw me and her face lit up. She knew who I was. And so I went to go sit next to her, and she said, did you think you lost me? And I said no, I just found you. And she looked into my eyes and beamed. And every few minutes, she would look into my face and eyes again, and beam at me, locking eyes and smiling with a light upon her face, or more, within her, shining out. And when the concert was done, and I had been there longer than I was meant to, but I just didnt’ want to tear myself away from her. I stood and said I had to go, and I was going to go on a trip, but that I would be back in two weeks and would come see her when I returned. She lifted up her arms then, to hug me. She had not done that for I don’t know, maybe a half year? More? I walked away thinking and feeling like I had been given one of the world’s best gifts. I had been having a difficult time with our leaving on teh trip, knowing she was in hospice now, and didn’t have that much time left with us. She didn’t seem close to dying, but it was just a matter of time, after all. So I felt heavy about that. But that gift, that made me feel as if it was ok. She said goodbye to me. I didn’t know that she really said good bye to me. That that was the last time I would ever see her alive. But she knew me. She looked into my eyes and smiled, and she hugged me good bye.

| 7356 | [Aaron Root Decendants 1-10-2002.FTW] Was born in Charlestown township, Portage county, Ohio, September 19,m 1822. He remained with his father on the farm until he was sixteen years of age, when he removed to Windham, in his native county, and attended the academy of that place, going through a regular academic course of studies. In the spring of 1842 he commenced reading medicine with George Conant, M.D. subsequently prosecuting his medical studies with Professor John C. Delamater, of Cleveland, in whose office he remained as a student until the spring of 1845 when he was regularly graduated and received his diploma. He soon thereafter moved to Grafton, Lorain county, and entered upon the practice of medicine, which he followed until the winter of 1851 and 1852. During the latter year he turned his attention to the study of dentistry under Dr. Kellogg of Cleveland, with whom he remained almost one year. He then returned to Grafton where he continued to reside until the spring of 1860 at which time he removed to Elyria and engaged in the active practice of dentistry in which he continued until 1875. He then disposed of his dental practice to Dr. White, and moved to Oberlin, where he practiced until September, 1878, at which time he returned to Grafton where he oversees the business of his farm and also practices his profession. Dr Knowlton married Caroline C., daughter of William and Mary Kinney, who were among the early settlers of Grafton. They have one son, William E. Knowlton, who resides at home with his parents. In politics Dr. Knowlton is a republican having acted with that party many years. He is generally considered a first-class professional man, an honest man and a good citizen.
