7002 The following year, Jeanne-Angelique met Louis Prat, living in the
Lower-Town of Quebec. The wedding took place at the cathedral on 30
July 1691. Louis
Prat was a good fellow, an innkeeper, a merchant-baker, a ship owner
and the port captain of Quebec. In 1704, he built the ship le
Joybert. "A few months
after it was launched, the vessel returned triumphantly to Quebec,
bringing the Pembroke Gally, a frigate taken from the English. This
period is remembered
in a painting dated from 1706 given to the sanctuary of Sainte-Anne-
de-Beaupre. "

In 1716, Louis and Jeanne-Angelique were living in the Rue Sous-le-
Fort. The couple had three daughters, one of whom survived, Marie-
Josephe, and was
married to Charles-Paul Denis, Sieur de Saint-Simon, on 17 October
1713, at Quebec. Louis died in February 1726 and was buried in the
cathedral.

7003 The friends of Goeffrey were unaware that their playful nickname for
him "Plantagenet" would live through the years. The story is told
that while disguised in battle, and to make himself known to his
followers, he leaned down from his horse and grasped a sprig of
"plante de genet", the common broom corn which grew thickly on the
heath, and thrust it in his helmet. Thus he derived his popular
title.
A noble person was Geoffrey, one of the most powerful princes of
France, with elegant and courtly manners and a reputation for
gallantry in the field. His alliance with England came about in
consequence of the great tragedy of the sinking of the famous White
Ship. When it struck hidden rocks off he coast of France, young
William, Duke of Normandy, the heir to the English throne, and 300
hundred others, were drowned in the freezing November waters, the
Butcher of Rouen alone being saved.
King Henry I of England, in despair over the loss of his only son,
sought the aid of Geoffrey Plantagenet and personally invested him
with the order of knighthood. Approving the marriage of his daughter
Matilda with Geoffrey, King Henry expressed the hope that all
Englishmen would give them their full allegiance. The Barons took
oath to uphold the succession of Matilda and Geoffrey and their
children after them. When , therefore, the sons Henry, Geoffrey, and
William were born, their grandfather thought the succession to the
throne secure. However, King Henry had no sooner died that all the
plans he had labored at so long crumbled away. Yet eventually on 19
Dec. 1154, Geoffrey's eldest son was crowned King Henry II and thus
Geoffrey heads the line of English Kings which bear his Plantagenet
name.


Geoffrey "the Fair", meaning "the Handsome" was the first to use the Plantagenet name. One story relates that his father, Fulk the Younger atoned for some evil deed by being scourged with broom twigs or planta genista before the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Another story relates that Geoffrey wore a sprig of broom or planta genista in his hat. Regardless, it is generally agreed upon that the family name of "Plantagenet" has its origins with the planta genista or broom plant.

Born on August 24, 1113
Died on September 7, 1151 and interred at St. Julian's Church, Le Mans, Anjou.

Armorial Bearings of Plantagenet The arms of Plantagenet are described by Richard Thomson: "Ancient Arms of Anjou borne by the Plantagenets, who were Earls of that place, of which family King John was descended. Gules, a chief argent over all an escarbuncle, or." Note that:
(1) Shields were sometimes strengthened with iron bands radiating from the centre which eventually became a part of the coat of arms under the term escarbuncle, and;
(2) Geoffrey "the Fair" Plantagenet pictured above doesn't appear to be carrying these arms.

Geoffrey married on May 22, 1127 to Matilda of England who was born in 1104 and died on September 10, 1167. Matilda was the only surviving legitimate child of King Henry I of England. After the death of Henry I in 1135, Geoffrey laid claim to Normandy through his wife Matilda. Meanwhile, Matilda attempted the conquest of England from her cousin King Stephen who had gained the crown. Geoffrey did not accompany her, being still engaged in the conquest of Normandy, which he completed in 1144. In 1147 he undertook a crusade with King Louis VII of France. In 1150, Geoffrey and Matilda ceded Normandy to their son Henry (later King Henry II of England), who founded the English Angevin dynasty. Click on Matilda for her ancestry.

Geoffrey and Mathilda had the following sons:

* Henry II Curtmantle, King of England, born March 5, 1132/33. Click Here for this line.
* Geoffrey VI, Count of Nantes and Anjou, born June 1, 1134 and d.s.p July 26, 1158
* William Longespée (also William Fitz Empress), Vicomte of Dieppe, born July 21, 1136 and died January 30, 1163/64. (not to be confused with his nephew William Longespée, named in the Magna Charta)
(Douglas Richardson, Plantagenet Ancestry, Baltimore, 2004, p. 2 & 3)

Geoffrey was associated with an unknown girlfriend, said by Brian C. Tompsett to be named "Adelaide of Angers". Geoffrey and his girlfriend had a son:

* Hamelin Plantagenet

Geoffrey also had two daughters, but the mother is not known:

* Emma (or Emme) Plantagenet who married Dafydd Ab Owain, Prince of North Wales
* Mary, Abbess of Shaftesbury 
PLANTAGENET Geoffrey IV "Le Bon" (I6566)

7009 The Hulterstad Church, with it's mediavel tower, the only remaining part left of the original church, was built in the year 1200. This once Catholic Church had been one of the biggest churches in Oland. The nave is in the neo-classical style, which reminds one of a barn, was built in 1803. It was the first of its kind. At one time this was used as a parish fortress to protect the people of Oland from invading "heathens" south and east of the Baltic Sea. The great bell resting in the bell tower was installed in the 1630.

The church is surrounded by a cemetery. Most of our ancestors lay buried
in this tiny churchyard. However, like most cemeteries in the Scandinavian countries, if perpetual care is not paid by the family, the body is removed and the grave re-used. The gravestone is then placed against the surrounding wall of the churchyard. I believe this is what happened to the graves of Olof Andersson and his wife, M. Brita Nilsdotter Andersson but at the time of the visit to the church and cemetery, their names were not known to me. It is not known if any living descendants still live in the area. The family home is nearby on #10 Skarloff, Hulterstad, Oland, Sweden.

7010 The immigrant ancestor of the most numerous families of Davison in America of that period, was a Scotch Convenanter, a group in Scotland, which struggled for religious liberty. They were called thus because they found themselves in a series of covenants to maintain the Presbyterian doctrines. The Covenanter Army was defeated at the Battle of Dunbar Scotland by Oliver Cromwell in 1650. Daniel is supposed to have been a prisoner of war, who was exiled or deported to the Colonies in 1651 or 52. He built a house in Ipswich Hamlet, Essex, MA in the year 1667. He served in King Philips War 1675-1676. His will was dated December 5, 1693. The earliest record of Daniel Davison is the marriage record in the Essex court record. He was 27, Margaret was 22.

The placing of Daniel as one of the Scotch exiles was in the instance largely upon circumstantial evidence, and family traditions. When this solution was once accepted, it was found so well secured in circumstances that it seemed impossible to rove a flaw of genuineness of the same. The traditions, while indistinct as to the historical facts, were founded in lines of the family descent, and had been separated for two centuries, and could have only a common source at the beginning. Daniel Davison being an industrious, frugal thinking man under the conditions named in Rev. John Cotton’s letter, soon found himself able to reimburse the person who paid for his passage to America and in the short period of six years accumulated enough substance to become a farmer upon his own account, and married into a substantial English family, that has borne a worthy name through the centuries since. His children were able to make marriage alliances with the best families, the Dodges, the Whipples, the Morgans, the Tracys, the Williams and the Reddingtons who took and have maintained, during the eight to ten generations since, leaving good repute throughout the continent. He was an educated man to any degree. The record indicates he did not write. If by any chance, he was taken into the Scotch army on the levy of 1643, he could have had the opportunity for education. While it seems improbable at this time, that a boy of fourteen years would be called, yet in the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Davison, who enlisted at fourteen year of age, and fought in the lines for eight years, was only one of several of Daniel Davison's descendants of similar ages, who fought to make this nation possible.

At the date of dedication of the Hamlet church, 1714, the Davison’s and other residents of the Hamlet withdrew from Wenham church and became charter members of the Hamlet church, now Hamilton. This seems to be the only record that Daniel Davison was a member of the church. The fact that he was a member of the Convenanter Army stands as the strongest evidence that his people were of that faith, and that he was baptized as a child in Scotland.

The bloody and crushing experience of Dunbar and of Worcester, 1650 and 1651, it is said caused these unfortunate captives to curse the King, and clergy for “ensnaring them in misery”. Wheelock observed they could not look upon the perpetual meddling of the minister with the affairs of state, as the real source of all calamities, which had “recently befallen them”.

There is no recorded evidence that Daniel Davison held aloof form the church, except silence, which is not strong when his children were in church, and the record that he was buried by the good man as a member, is sufficient. At this date (1693) and for half a century thereafter, the “Hamlet of Ipswich” was more a part of Wenham than of Ipswich, five miles to the north. Here the Davison’s attended church, school and buried their dead. In the southwest corner of that ancient part of the Wenham cemetery today is a triangular tract that has no marking of burials. The fact that the area has been left, as further burials were made, confirm that belief that the ground is sacred to the memory of their ancestors.

About 1920, permission was asked and received, the consent of the present cemetery board to erect near the middle of the front of this area, a memorial to Daniel Davison and his wife Margaret. Daniel’s number in Rev. Gerrish’s list is 33; hence about the middle of the area may be his resting place. The inscriptions reads: “In Memory of Daniel Davison, Born in Scotland, 1630-1693 and his wife, Margaret Low. Ancestors of the Most Numerous Family of the Name in America. Buried 1693, by Rev. Joseph Gerrish”.
Daniel and Margaret had 13 children.

On September 13, 1666 he signed a loyalist petition. He served as a Major in the Essex Regiment and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. in 1672. He became a member of the Wenham Massachusetts Meeting House on January 5, 1674 and was a resident of Ipswich.

7020 The old Ipswich court records make reference to Benedict's second
son, John. as a child of 12, we have a court record that John broke
open the barn door of James Chute Jr., breaking the lock taking his
oxen and working them "contrary to his knowledge and order",
witnessed by Thomas Harris Sr., his wife and son.
In the winter of 1678-79, John lived in the home of Mr. Francis
Wainwright. John apparently worked for Wainwright in some sort of
employee capacity. Wainwright was of a prominent family and a rather
wealthy member of the community. John was caught stealing food from
Wainwright, and providing it to his mother. In the hearing John tried
to put the blame on his parents, stating that his mother told him
that they wanted wheat, which "he might help them to" whereupon he
removed a bushel and a half of wheat and delivered it to Benedict,
his father. His mother, Susanna, made John a cake out of it. Later,
according to John, his stepmother asked that John take some pork from
Wainwright's warehouse. He took 2 large pieces five or six times.
This led to further thefts, including a small hog, half bushel of
salt, two bundles of candles, sugar carried in a handkerchief, all of
which he brought to his parents. Susanna's version of the story was
somewhat different. Yes, John had stolen the goods, but she
apparently did not put John up to it. She says she was suspicious and
wished them sent back to Mr. Wainwright, but did not for fear of
making trouble. John was to be severely whipped and the parents were
ordered to pay restitution to Mr. Wainwright.
Five years later, at the age of 17, John committed some unknown wrong
against his father. This dispute apparently could not be settled
within the family, so Benedict had to take his own son to court. On
Mar. 26, 1684, Benedict received execution of a judgment against his
son and the town Marshall "delivered said John Pulsepher to his
father for a term of six years." The records give no details
regarding the nature of the offense which would warrant what appears
to be a six year indenture to his father. two months later, John
"acknowledged judgment to his father in wheat, malt and pork.
Sometime in the next four years, John left Ipswich, and moved to
Gloucester, near a spot on the old road leading to Coffin's Beach.

In May 1684, at age 21 yrs.; Ipswich town
records note that John Pulsifer acknowledged
judgement to his father, Benedict with wheat, malt,
and pork. Whatever the dispute between
was, could not be settled privately and
required Benedict to exact a formal court
order against his son. He left Ispwich and
settled to the west town of Gloucester on
the road leading to Coffin's Beach.

7021 The oldest, Marie-Madeleine, after her birth at Riviere-Ouelle, was
brought to Quebec to be baptized on 30 June 1680. Jean Marchand, a
carpenter from Quebec, and Marie
Gachet, wife in a second marriage to Charles Roger, Sieur des
Colombiers, served as her godparents. At the end of her sixteenth
year, Marie-Madeleine became the wife of
Pierre Boucher, at Riviere-Ouelle, on 4 February 1697, and gave him
ten children. After the death of her first husband, Madeleine married
the twenty year old
Jean-Baptiste Maisonneuve, a Gascon from Bayonne, on 21 March 1716.
She had four more children by him.

7022 The person buried in the Wright Brown family plot could very well be a Brown who married an Annable. It is actually unknown if the person buried in the marked grave is a female or male since the headstone is broken and the only remains of the first name is " as" on the end of the name. Earlier notes from the Historical Society in Penn Yan say it was a Dorcas who is buried there but can not be confirmed. Because the marker is in the shape of a heart, it is believed to be a female. Brown Dorcas (I52752)

7026 The St. Antoine church is located in Monroe Mi. on the River Raison.
This Parrish has changed names and is now going by the name of St.
Mary's.

We find Joseph listed as a son of James Louis and Julia in the French
family of the Detroit River area. We find no record of him in
Mackinaw Co. during the 1850 or 1860 census. We did locate a land
record that might be him on file at the Archives located in the Mich.
State Library, Lansing, Mi. The land record is a grant of land given
in Baraga Co., L'anse to Indians and is dated 1854. In checking the
1860 census for that county, we find a Joseph Perio residing in a
home occupied by several persons, most of whom are in the mining
profession. He lists himself as age 28 yrs. Since our Joseph was born
Dec. 1830, he would have been 29 yrs at the time this census was
taken, and therefore is a possibility of being the same person. We
have no proof of this , however.

7027 The story of Steadman Wyman is a real tragedy. In a letter written in March 1825 from Joseph Brown of Cavendish, VT to his brother, Aaron Brown of New Ipswich, he tells of the tragic death of young Steadman.

Dear Brother and Sister:

I am glad that any occasion can induce you to write. I received your letter thankfully, and could not but hope the sentiments of esteem you express were sincere. But I was unable to answer it at the time, and now am hardly able. For about four weeks I have been much out of health but am now upon the recovery. In our family we enjoy considerable health, we have a compentency of the work, and ought to be content. We have the means of grace and ought to improve them. Time is short and Death fast approaching. The thought, to me, is awakening! In some measure I am quickened, I am up, and find it my constant care to have all things, and especially myself, in readiness. I have tried the cords which bind me to the work and think that whenever I am called, I can break them with ease, and go joyfully the way whence I cannot return. Lord have mercy, and let me not be deceived.

Dear Brother, Dear Sister, Dear Children: Let this be your care, your business. Our confessions of faith are scarcely to be mentioned. It is a life mortified to the world a life of prayer, of watchfulness and sincere devotion to God, which encourages our hope, which brightens our prospect, and meets approaching Death with calmness and triumph! And in this way let us all be encouraged; let us surmount every difficulty and hold out--"Be faithful unto Death, and I will give thee the crown of Life." We all send our love to you, also our respectful regards to your aged Father and to all our friends. May the Lord command a blessing upon them.

You wished to hear the certainty and the circumstances of the unhappy suicide in our family. It happened on the 10th of January last. Steadman Wyman, the second son, two and twenty years of age, had for a long time been out of health, but then appeared upon the recovery. He appeared generally in good spirits, but sometimes melancholy. For a short time before his unhappy end, he became acquainted with a young woman in the neighborhood, and nothing appeared but that they were mutually satisfied with each other. However, the day preceding his last, she went in company with another young man to visit her parents. She returned, and in the evening, Steadman paid her a visit. After the visit, at about ten or eleven, he returned home and went to bed. His sister was up, and observing her Brother rather inattentive to himself, felt a little concerned. However, he rose in the morning as usual but appeared rather melancholy. He sat down and wrote, perhaps half a sheet.
But when his mother came near enough to read, he would turn his sheet over. His mother thought nothing but that he was writing to a particular friend, and so passed along. After the family was dispersed, his father at work and the children at school, he finished writing, went into a back room, took a part of a Cod-line, doubled it, and, as they supposed, prepared the knot, put it into his pocket, took his leave of the maid in the house, and set out to visit once more the girl we mentioned before. He was in her company, perhaps about an hour and a half. At the close of the visit he asked her plainly if she thought best to discontinue their acquaintance. She said she thought it best. He replied, you have a right to do as you think proper; and took his leave. Upon his return, about half a mile from his Father's house, he found a place which nature had formed convenient for his purpose--a tree bent over from the root, with the top lying upon the ground at the hightest place in the bow, about nine feet to the snow underneath, with conveniences for getting up. When he came to the place, he took off his hat, his greatcoat, and his collar and put them into his sleeve. He mounted the tree, he fastenend the rope, slipped himself off, and came to his unhappy end. Next day his Father found him and called a Jury to attend to his case. The Jury pronounced it premeditated suicide.

Mrs. Brown and I attended the Funeral as mourners. The corpse was carried to the meeting house. There was such a crowd of people, and the sermon--for a universalist minister--considerably appropriate. Text: "I saw in the cutting off of my Days, I shall go to the gates of the grave." The family seemed to bear the affliction as well as could be expected; except Mrs. Wyman. She was exceedingly borne down, and is still. Mary, my daughter, returned from there yesterday, which was Saturday, the 12th of March, and says Mrs. Wyman wishes I would write a letter for her to you, for she could not compose her mind to write herself. But I am unable. I have been several days about writing this. As to the young woman, whether she treated Steadman honorably or not is, in general, yet unknown. With regard to this there are different reports. The girl is in trouble, and told Mrs. Wyman the other day she could see no way to end it but by putting an end to herself. Steadman, as his grandmother told me, was established in the opinion that all would be well after Death. He was a young man of correct morals, dutiful to his parents, loving to his brothers and sisters, and esteemed by all his acquaintance. But concealed his troubles and his intentions to end it from all his friends. Not any of his friends nor his neighbors, so far as I have understood, had the least suspicion till it was too late.

From your very affectionate Brother. Joseph Brown.

7033 Their mother died when they were four and two years old. They lived with S. Rowland Davison, whose wife Amanda, was their half-sister, and other places until their father married again, to Amy Wells. Then they went home. But in a few years, their father, Rev. Amos west, was taken with Consumption and went to Illinois, to reside with his son-in-law, S. Rowland Davison, who had previously moved there. It was thought then, that the climate of Illinois would cure the consumption. He died at Goveland, Illinois. The two little girls were then left alone, orphans indeed. they then moved to Hoosick Falls, NY, where friends were residing, and working in the cotton factory, and went from there to Benninton, VT, and from there to North Adams, MA, where they both married. then the girls seem to have separated. We will first follow Adeline.

She married george R. Bly. He only lived a year and a half, and died of consumption in 1850. She then went to Adams, Jefferson County, New York, to where her two half-sisters, Emeline Lewis-Maxon, and Louisa Lewis-Reed, lifed. In 1853 she married Lorenzo Maxon. They moved in February 1854 to Walworth, WI. In 1865, they moved to Farina, IL, and lived there over thirty-nine years. She enjoyed peace, quiet and plenty, at the beautiful home of her son, who was a proprietor of a drug store, and an officer in the bank at Farina, IL. received her photograph recently. Had not seen her since 1847, at North Adams, MA.

7047 They moved to Illinois about 1838. Went all the way with a pair of horses and a wagon. Settled at Groveland, IL, where he took up land and made brick on his farm, and built a good brick house. He was a Brick Mason by trade. He also built several brick buildings in Pekin, IL. He with a partner, built the Court House, that is still in use. His land was what was then called, “the barrens”. Timber and undergrowth had to be cleared and grubbed before it could be farmed. For his orchards, seeds were brought from the OLD ORCHARD on the OLD HOMESTEAD, in Grafton, NY. I, (A. A. Davison) was quite a small boy, but well remember saving apple seeds for Uncle Rowland Davison to take to Illinois. When I came in 1851, it was quite an old orchard. Found only one tree with apples anything like any apples in the old orchard. He lived in Groveland, IL, until about the time Uncle John P. Davison (Davidson) came. He then took up several tracts of land eight miles west of Minonk, IL. A large farm for himself, and eighty acres for each of his nine children. He took great interest in Church and Sunday School, was a Deacon in the Baptist Church. I am not competent to write a brief sketch. He was a good man, and a true Christian. He was killed in an accident; was harrowing with a pair of young horses. They go frightened and ran. The harrow turned over and a tooth went through his neck, which caused his death. (A. A. Davison, 1905) DAVISON Rowland (Squire) (I35801)

7050 They resided in his native town of Grafton, NY, until in 1855 when with his father, he came to Illinois, and located in Clayton Township, Woodford County, where he resided on the farm until 1887 when he moved to Eureka, IL to give his children the benefit of Eureka College. He was elected County Treasurer in 1885. He resided in Eureka, until 1889 when he removed to Metamora, IL, the County Seat. After his term of office expired, he returned to the farm and lived there until the Fall of 1902 when he moved to Minonk, IL. During that winter, he had a severe attack of LaGrippe, from which he never recovered. He went to Excelsior Springs, Missouri, without receiving any benefit, and gradually grew weaker, until September 13, 1903 when he peacefully passed away. He was a prosperous farmer. Owned 720 acres of land, besides town and other property. Was nearly a life-long member of the Baptist Church, and was a leader in society, socially, religiously, and politically. He was a Democrat and cast his first ballot for James Buchanan. He was Treasurer of Clayton Township for twenty years, and also Supervisor. January 1, 1900, he assisted in organizing the State Bank of Benson, IL, and served as Vice President. Was a member of the Minonk Lodge, No. 927, I.O.O.F. Harvey was always gentle and kind, and had a pleasant word for everyone. The funeral services were held September 15, 1903, conducted by Rev. Robert Wallace of Minonk, IL, and Rev. F. M. Johnson of Benson, IL. Buried at Yankee Town Cemetery, eight miles west of Minonk, IL.

7077 Thomas Browne was born to Sarah Browne, who died in childbirth, and probably Thomas Browne. He was raised as a "son" by uncle, Edmund and Ann Woder Browne; came over on the "Confidence" in 1637 with his "brothers", Rev. Edmund and William, arriving in Ludlow, MA. They were preceded by two uncles, Richard and Abraham, who came over with the Winthrop fleet in 1630 and settled in Watertown. They were all from Lavenham, Suffolk county, England.

It was probably by the efforts of Abraham and Richard that persuaded Thomas, Edmund and William to join them for Richard in 1634 had been granted 600 acres of land in Watertown. Their cousin, John also came earlier, having first landed in Boston from London on 16 Sept. 1632 on the "Lion". He too, came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony of Puritans to join Reverand Winthrop and his followers, settling in Watertown.

Thomas and his brothers, Edmund and William arrived in Ludlow,MA in 1637. They probably went to Watertown for a brief period. By 1638 Thomas and his brothers petitioned the General Court for permission to settle a new town, which they named Sudbury. The General Court gave the authority to begin the plantation on 6 September 1638.

Rev. Edmund, a graduate of Cambridge University, became the first minister of Sudbury. He stayed on in Sudbury, marrying but died childless in 1677. He was highly regarded in the town as a religious leader even though some of the leaders in the town did not always agree with his views.

Thomas was a husbandman and a planter. He was admitted a freeman of the Bay Colony on March 14, 1638, and was a proprietor in Sudbury in 1640. His 34-1/2 acres of land were on Bridal Point Highway and later received another 29 acres. At the same time, his brother, William had received 8 acres.

The General Court on October 7, 1640, granted Thomas 200 acres of land in Sudbury in payment for the 25 pounds which was put into a joint stock by his aunt, Mrs. Harvey who authorized his application. His brother, Captain William Browne made a similar application and was granted 200 acres laid out for him in Sudbury.

Thomas married Bridget, perhaps Bateman, around 1639/40 and started their family in Sudbury.

Thomas soon grew tired of the religious arguments the town was embroiled in and departed for Concord in 1640. In Concord, he became a large landowner after he purchased land on 20 May, 1655, 9 January 1661 and 3 April 1671. All the Brownes were farmers and large landowners. Some of the lands belonging to Thomas were still in the family as late as 1896.

After his wife, Bridget died in 1681, he moved to Cambridge, Middlesex County, MA. He died there in 1688 and is buried in The First Parish Cemetery.

In the history of New England, Thomas was always known as Thomas Browne of Concord. He was a trooper of a Middlesex Company in the King Philip's War. (Colonial Wars Lineage Book, p. 71) He also was a town officer, probably of Concord in 1660, 1663 and 1668. On May 18, 1666, he was admitted to the church and was named a member of a committee to divide certain Concord properties on March 26, 1675. On November 20, 1680, "Late of Concord, now of Cambridge", he deeded his Concord lands to his son, Thomas Browne, Jr. and acknowledged the deed before Randolph, Dec.6, 1687. He filed on March 11, 1681/82, a list of properties which he had given to his son, Boaz Browne before the latter's marriage. John Gove, his daughter, Mary's second husband, was one of the witnesses. Son, Jabez Browne remained in Sudbury until the founding of Stow at which time he joined with his brother,Boaz and others.

Thomas's daughter, Mary did not conduct herself properly causing Thomas to write two letters to the Governor in December, 1670. He himself at one time was fined with others on February 9, 1658 for a nominal offense.

The Browne brothers were from a wealthy family of Brownes going back to John Browne of Stamford, County of Lincolnshire, England in the 1330's. One of John's descendents, Christopher was of Swan Hall of Hawkedon, County of Suffolk.

Thomas's Uncle Abraham was the son of Richard Browne of Swan Hall, Hawkedon,Suffolk County, England. He migrated to America in 1630 with his wife, Lydia and several children.

Thomas's adopted father, Edmund was born in Summerton, County of Suffolk, England in 1576.

The final "e" in Browne was dropped two generations after Thomas, beginning with Thomas, son of Jabez.

From "The Wives of Boaz Brown" NEHGR V140 Brown:

"Thomas Browne, husbandman and planter, was one of the founders of Sudbury, MA in 1638. He removed to Concord in 1640 and resided there until his wife Bridget died in 1680, at which time he removed to Cambridge, MA where he d. in 1688."

From "From Concord, MA to the Wilderness: The Brown Family Letters,
1792-1852" Brown-Groover, NEHGR V131 1977:

"The founding father of this family was Thomas Browne (1601-1688), a native of Lavenham, Suffolk Co., England, who had settled, with his wife Bridget, in Concord by the year 1640. Thomas was not the first of his family to emigrate to America, having been preceeded by two uncles, Abraham and Richard Browne, who crossed with the Winthrop fleet in 1630, and by a cousin, John Browne, who came c. 1632 on the Lion. They were all from Lavenham, and all settled in Watertown. The exact circumstances of Thomas's emigration are not known, but it is probably that he, accompanied by the Reverend Edmund Browne, 5 years his junior, arrived in 1637, joining their relatives in Watertown. In 1638, the settled in the newly established town of Sudbury, where Edmund, a graduate of the University of Cambridge, became the first pastor and both were assigned land. Although generally reguarded as brothers, they were more likely cousins. It is known that they had different fathers, each bearing the same name as his father. Since Thomas's mother Sara died in childbirth, it is not unreasonable to assume that he and his cousin Edmund, grew up as "brothers." In 1640 Thomas decided to make his permanent home in the nearby town of Concord."

Thomas's will was dated 15 May 1623 and proved 10 July 1627, administration being granted to Thomas Noyes the younger, his son.

Thomas Noyes of Charleton in the parish of Andever in the counte of South(hamp)t(on) yeoman, sick of body, left money towards the repair of the parish church of Andover and the poor of the parish, and 12s to each of his godchildren.

His younger son Thomas Noyes was to provide Dorothy with houseroom, lodging, and "wholesome sustenance meat and drinke" or 10 pounds yearly. To Thomas he left his lease in certain lands held of the Right Honourable William Lord Sandes of Charleton, and another lease held of Sir Edward Barret Knight in Charleton.

7083 Thomas was of Concord at the time of his marriage. Family: Wheeler Thomas / Davis Sarah (F23722)
 
7084 Thomas worked as an agriculture laborer

In the 1841 Census, Thomas was bout 22 years old working in Leeds, Otley, Skyrack Upper Division, in the weaving industry.

On the 1851 census they are married with one daughter Emma Jane age 2. Thomas is working as a coal porter, living at 81 Florist St. in the New Parish of St. Andrews in Leeds. His father Matthew is also at this address and both are lodgers. Sarah and daughter Emma are living at 137 Coal Pit House, Wooldale, Parochial Chapelry of Holmfirth, Village of Underbank. They are listed as visitors.

1861 census has the family living at number 150 North Lane, Headingly, Yorkshire. Thomas worked as a cart driver. This data records Sarah's birth place as Headingly.

1871 census has the family living at number 243 Woodman Fold, Leeds and Otley Road, Far Headingly, Yorkshire.

Research has the family immigrating to the United States about 1874. In Sarah's obituary is says the family came directly to Anoka, MN in 1874. They show up in the 1880 Census in District 42 Anoka, Anoka Co., MN. I believe their farm was section number 4 because of a 1888 platt map. In 1880 the family was listed as Thomas Smith, farmer, Sarah A., George H., Thomas H. and Louisa born in Minnesota in 1878. In the 1885 Minnesota census the family is in the same location. George is not listed but I found him living in St. Paul, Ward 1. He was age 21 and probably working there. Other four members listed plus granddaughter Ella Hawksley, age 4.

7089 THREATS FROM THE SEA

In 1690, bad omens came from the sea. Charles, the brother of Marie-
Madeleine Bouchard had married Marie-Madeleine Dube on 4 April 1690.
On Wednesday, the 26th of the same month, the tide carried him away.
He was buried the following Sunday, at Riviere-Ouelle.

That same summer the anxious inhabitants of Riviere-Ouelle watched
the waves coming from the east. They carried the unpleasant odor of
battle.

Sir William Phips, the British Admiral in command of 32 ships and
2,000 militiamen, appeared on the river opposite Riviere-Ouelle at
the beginning of October. The inhabitants were scattered all -along
the Coast and seemed easy prey to capture. At high tide Phips
debarked six boats loaded with 25 men each.

Without the seigneur, the local priest, Father de Francheville,
mobilized the available men, thirty all told, including Pierre
Dancause. The improvised soldiers took cover in the brush along the
river bank, each having a musket, some powder and a handful of
bullets. At the opportune moment, at the thunderous command of their
leader, they fired three times, so well that each volley sent several
of the attackers to meet his maker, while several others were
wounded. Quickly, the aggressors retreated to their ships. Riviere-
Ouelle was saved. And life continued as usual along the river.

Upon the petition of CYRUS PULCIPHER of Crown Point, N.Y. you are hereby cited to show cause before the Surrogates Court of Essex Co., at the Surrogates Office, Port Henry NY on the l st day of June 1931 at 1 A.M. why a decree should not be granted judicially settling the account of said Cyrus PULCIPHER AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PERSONAL ESTATE OF WILLIAM PULCIPHER, deceased.
Attest:
Hon Harry E. Owen April 23, 1931.
My grandfather Cyrus had a step brother Marion Barber, a bachelor, whose mother was, according to my mother, the mother of Cora Pulsifer. William Pulsifer, father of Cyrus, was married 4 times,and also had a number of "housekeepers" according to the many stories about him from my grandmother Lillian Pulsifer. He had a very bad temper, attributed to his experiences in the Civil War. His various wives and women would not stay with him due to his temper. I have some good stories she told me about him! My cousin Walton Spaulding of Crown Point owns the original farm of William Pulsifer in Crown Point, New York. My mother said that William Pulsifer inherited this from his mother's side of the family. I have the name of the family, but will have to ask my mother tomorrow, as I can't find my notes at this moment. William did not live at this farm, but had another farm closer to town where he lived.

William Wright, an early settler of Swanzey, was killed on his farm in Winchester by the fall of a great beam in a barn in 1810. His son, Luther was born there (Swanzey) and moved to Middlebury, Vt, where he lived for a time, but afterwards returned to Swanzey and died in Winchester, in 1838. He married Rhoda, sister of the Hon. Elijjah Belding, and reared a family of twelve children, two of whom are now living. One son, William, resides on road 17, in this town, is one of the selectmen, and has held the office of justice of the peace since 1850. He was town representative in 1849 and 1850 and has been largely engaged in settling estates, & c.

7156 Tracy was killed in a car accident.
In her short life she touched the lives of so many people. Her bubbly
personality always made her a joy to be with. Because of this she
made friends easily and once a friend, always a friend. She loved
life and was always there to help anyone with their problems and gave
little regard to her own.
She was proud of her Indian heritage and was doing research in this
direction, which I, as her mother, will carry on for her.
She was the best daughter I could ever hope to have and was my pride
and joy. There is an emptiness in my heart and life without her.
She is buried under a tree in the Saranac Village Cemetery.

DOUGLASS Cassandra (I36103)
 
7200 Vasseur, Charles, the grantee of Park lot No. 6, Tiny, in 1834. He was born at St. Maurice, Quebec, served with the "Voltigeurs,: then went west with the Hudsons Bay Company. He joined the British forces and was at the capture of Mackinaw in 1812. There were six brothers and all went to Mackinaw and followed the British to Drummond Island, thence to Penetanguishene. While at Mackinaw Charles married a young half-breed woman, named Marguerite Langlade, a near relative of the famous Captain Langlade and cousin of the Langlades of Tiny. Charles and several others, under Captain James Darling, walked all the way to Toronto and back during the Rebellion of 1837. He brought the first cow and the first yoke of oxen ever used in Penetanguishene from Georgia, around by Point Mara, the "Narrows" (Orillia) and Coldwater, thence home; the latter portion of the way being only an Indian trail so narrow and bad that he often had to carry the yoke on his shoulders and drive the animals ahead in single file. His mother visited Penetanguishene twice while living at Mackinaw, after which she moved to Green Bay, Wis., where she died. Charles drowned near Manitoulin Island, where his remains are buried. His wife died at Ontonagon, Mich., where is son Louis still lives. He had a family of fifteen children, only the eldest having been born on Drummond Island. I gleaned these reminscences from his son Paul, living at Penetanguishene, who claims that his father had a medal won fighting for the British, but that it has been lost. VASSEUR Charles (I55227)
