Jonathon married Whittemore Sarah (Sally)Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. Sarah was born on 10 Aug 1772 in Newburyport, Essek County, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1800 Census, Isaac was living in Cambridge, Washington County, NY.
In the 1820 census, Isaac is living in Cato, Cayuga county, NY next door to his brother, Prince Annable.
In the 1830 Federal Census for Granby, Oswego County, NY, Isaac is listed as a resident, page 172, NY ID# NY55841820.

Who is the Isaac Annable/ Anible who is listed in New Bedford, Bristol County, MA in the 1800 census and is 16-25 years of age if not this Isaac?

Isaac married Beecher Polly in 1794. Polly was born about 1774. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is a possibility that this Cornelius, son of Isaac and Lydia, is the one who lived in Howard, Steuben County, NY instead of Cornelius, son of Cornelius, born in CT. Because the Cornelius in Howard had children by the names of Caleb and Lydia,(uncle and mother's names) leads me to believe this is this correct person who lived in Howard, NY. Need to be checked further.

He was taken prisoner in the War of 1812. (Home Folks Book of Darius Myer's Family)

In the 1830 census, Cornelius was living in Cameron, Steuben county next door to Charles Brown, the son of Eunice M.Brown, Cornelius's sister. Although it doesn't show that Eunice is with her family, the rest of the family fits in the profile. Eunice may have been off taking care of her elderly widowed father.

Cornelius III, was a mason by trade but in early life followed the sea for some years. He married in 1809, at Groton, CT, Abigail Lankton. After stopping at various places, among which was Fabrious, Onondaga County, NY. In 1827 they located on Oak Hill, Canisteo Township, but later removed in 1828 to Howard township, a short distance from his former home, where he afterward resided.

In 1811,he was living in New London, CT and was a seaman, sailing to Barbados on the Brig. Harriet, which departed New London on August 8, 1811. The ship's log lists him as a crewman, and was 36 years of age, born in New Bedford and living in New London. He was dark complexioned.

Cornelius married Lankton Abigail (Nabby) on 30 Aug 1809 in Groton, New London, CT. Abigail was born about 1779 in CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In March of 1813, Prince still had a farm in Saratoga next door to Joseph Guile and William Smith. In the 1820 census, Prince is living next door to his brother, Isaac in Cato, Cuyuga county, NY.

Prince, a quiet, thickset little man, had once been a sea captain. All of the Annable family were kind, hard-working gentle people. Prince married widow, Ruth Howland Dewell. To them was born nine children.

Prince moved to Sterling, Whiteside County, IL where he bought one hundred and sixty acres of Federal land on July 22, 1853. County 98, Sec. 29, Twp 22N, Archives Vol. 712, p 007. Section SW, range 06E, Record ID 249340

It is family tradition that he lived in a hamlet known as Hannibalsville, NY on the shores of Lake Ontario sometime during his adult life and before moving to Illinois. This was certainly named after the Annable families living in or near there. Eunice Annable, his sister, used the name Hannibal all her adult life in signing papers.

In the 1880 Federal Census of Otoe County, NE where his son, Isaac lived, it states that his father, Prince, was born in CT. and his mother, b. in NY.

Prince married Howland Ruth about 1804 in Prob. Saratoga County, NY. Ruth (daughter of Howland Silas and de LaFarge Sarah) was born on 20 Dec 1782 in Cuyuga County, NY; died on 26 Jul 1870 in Sterling, Whiteside County, IL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Annable was living in Milo, Yates County, NY in 1830 according to the NY census.

Notes:

It has been a family tradition that Eunice was born in New Bedford, but land records show the family was still in Dartmouth at the time of her birth. No birth records have not been found for the children of Lydia and Isaac Annable in Dartmouth. However, Lydia and Isaac were married and lived in Dartmouth until December of 1780 according to land records, when they moved to New Bedford, MA.

Census records show an Isaac Annable lived in Stillwater in 1800. This is probably Eunice's father.

She and Samuel Right Brown were married in Saratoga on 13 February, 1803. (This information was on a petition to the government to inquire of her eligibility for a land grant because Samuel had served as a volunteer and correspondant in the Volunteer Army in the War of 1812. She was denied the grant.) In this petition, it states that she never remarried but remained a widow of Samuel Right Brown for the rest of her life.

In the autobiography, "The Life of Thurlow Weed" , Weed who once worked for Samuel R. Brown in Auburn's Cuyuga Patriot printing office, wrote; 'Mrs. Brown was placid, emotionless and slipshod. Both were imperturbable. Nothing disturbed either. There was no regular hour for breakfast or dinner, but meals were always under or over done. In short, like a household described by an early English author,"everything upon the table was sour, except the vinegar." The printing sympathized with the housekeeping. This was certainly telling of her personality and character.

Weed also described the village of the Auburn, "as exceedingly muddy, rough-hewn and struggling."

Eunice was head of her household in the census of 1820 and 1825, listing six males and one female. She was not in any census in 1830. She could have moved to Cameron, Steuben County, NY and living with one of her children.

In the census for Torrey, Yates Co., in June 9, 1855, Eunice is listed in the household of her youngest son, Samuel Right Brown, Jr.

By June 19, 1860, she is listed in the household of her son, William Henry Harrison Brown and his wife, Elenor Jane. Samuel, Jr. and family had moved to Indiana and IL by this time.

It has been said that she became almost blind by the time she died.
