Notes for WILLIAM MARSH:

From the research of Gordon Marsh (to be verified).

In the History of the First Church, Stonington, Connecticut, there was found the following records. Elizabeth, wife of William Marsh, was admitted to the church August 24, 1690. William Marsh was admitted to the church May 14, 1693. Children born and baptized at Stonington:

Mary, born 5/16/1683 (Town Records) and baptized 9/7/1690

William baptized 9/7/1690

Thomas baptized 9/7/1690

James baptized 9/7/1690

Elizabeth baptized June 19, 1692

Ann baptized June 24, 1694

There is considerable confusion concerning our William Marsh. Some have tried to identify the above William Marsh with the William Marsh, aged 26 who sailed in 1635 aboard the ship "Mathew" from London, Goodlad, Master. Our William Marsh of Plainfield died 1724 and could hardly have been 113 years of age at his death which we would have been had he been aged 26 in 1635. If it is correct that William was eighteen years of age when he came to America, as some say, that he came at the restoration of King Charles II in 1660, then he was born about 1642, the year that his father, Capt. James Marsh, was executed. William should have been 82 years of age when he died, as his death took place at Plainfield, Connecticut in 1724.

It has been reported that the family, that William belonged to, at the time of his immigration, were citizens of a village or borough four miles out of the city of London, England, which is now incorporated in that great city. The Marshes owned mills around there and were engaged in the mercantile business. The brother, Capt. James Marsh, was killed at the battle of Edgehill in 1642, while serving with the King's forces.

One writer states that Capt. James Marsh was executed on order of King Charles I right after the Battle of Edgehill for being in sympathy with Oliver Cromwell while serving with the King's forces.

After the restoration of King Charles II, an Aunt of William Marsh, fearing for his safety called him home from college, had him, and two of his cousins emigrate to America where they would be beyond the immediate wrath of King Charles II.

Another write states that Captain James Marsh (William Marsh's brother) was taken prisoner at the battle of Edgehill and put to death on orders of Cromwell.

Marsh Family Bible: This very old Bible was the property of Daniel Benjamin Marsh who was ordained at Poughkeepsie, New York, June 30th, 1790. Some of the data was inscribed in the "record section," the tabulated form was on separate sheets made into a book form and was pasted in he bible.

(Copied by Minnie L.C. Colman, 1934; Syracuse, New York)

The record in an old Bible that was published in 1792 and was owned by Mr. Cady Marsh, Jamesville, Onandaga Co., NY. Note: This write understands that this Bible is now in the possession of the Boston Historical Society. "James Marsh of Kent in England was a Captain against Cromwell - When Cromwell got the victory, the said Marsh was beheaded at Hedgehall. His two sisters being concerned for their brother William who was at College, sent for him and two nephews, son to a half-sister to William, and they set sail for America and landed at Salem. William went to Boston and was a commissary in the old Indian War of 1676 was wounded in he Narraganset fight. He was removed to Stonington and was under the care of Dr. Noyce and was healed of his wounds. He then married Elizabeth Yeomans and soon removed to Plainfield where he lived and died leaving the following heir: James, William, Elizabeth,a nd Mathias."

Writer's biography of William Marsh:

William was born about 1642, County Kent, England, died 1724 at Plainfield, Connecticut. He was wounded during the King Phillips War int he Narraganset Swamp fight in 1675, and was removed to Stonington, Connecticut where he was treated by Dr. Noyce and nursed back to health by Elizabeth Yeomans, who he later married on October 18, 1681/2. She was the daughter of Edward and Mary (Button) Yeomans, (1630-1662) and was born 1659 at Haverhill, Mass. She was admitted to the First Church, Stonington, Connecticut, August 24, 1690. William was admitted May 14, 1693, he surveyed with his wife's brother, Edward Yeomans, the town of Plainfield, Connecticut. He removed with his wife and family, no doubt, about 1694, to Plainfield, conn. as the last church record at Stonington is dated June 2, 1694.

William and Elizabeth (Yeomans) Marsh had eight children:

- Mary Marsh

- William, died at Plainfield, Conn, 1/23/1759, aged 74. He was in the French and Indian War of 1756/57.

- Rev. Thomas Marsh

- James Marsh, died 4/29, 1749, married at Plainfield, CT 12/3/1711, Hannah Shepard who was born 1695, died between 1770 and 1776. There were 11 children

- Elizabeth Marsh, married Mr. Utley and lived in "Canada Parish", Windham County, Connecticut

- Anne Marsh

- Mathias Marsh, born about 1595 and died shortly after 1781; Styled "Captain", he married 1/2/1726, Priscilla Brigham, who was born 4/3/11709 in Marlboro, Mass. He owned large tracts of land in Connecticut and in Dutchess County, NY. He resided at Coventry Connecticut and was in Dover, NY as late as 1765, removed to Dorset, Vermont where he died.

- Joseph Marsh, born about 1679 (a questionable child) was at Volunetown with his brother James in 1725.

The above with some minor changes was taken from the Marsh family Bulletin, Volume 1, Number (4) July, 1955, compiled and edited by Warren L. Marsh, (now deceased), Willaimsport, Pennsylvania.

An observation by this writer: It is quite possible, William Marsh signed on with a Ships Master (which was quite common in those days) to become an indentured servant in order to gain passage to America. The length of service was usually seven to fifteen years. If William came to American in 11660, there would be 15 year in this country between 1660 and 1675 of unknown background. When the town records were searched at Plainfield, Windham Co., Connecticut, it was found that William Marsh signed his name with his (W) mark. There fore it would suggest to this writer that he could not write, although he may have ben able to read, itw as said that he was called home form College by his two Aunts, before emigrating to American sometime after 1660 to escape the wrath of King Charles II, who had regained his father's throne King Charles I. William fought in the Narraganset Swamp War again King Phillip in 1675-76.

Janet, unfortunately I am unable to help you; I do not know anything about the Marsh families from Kent. My James Marsh is reportedly from Kent England. Since posting my query, I've learned that it was more likely the father, also named James, that was beheaded. He would have been of an age (20-25)to have participated in the Battle of Edgehill in Warwickshire County (the 1st battle of the English Civil War against King Charles I). Because his son(s) James and William were young boys, I'm sure family must have helped raise them until they were old enough to leave England, as William did come to America. If I learn more that might help you, I'll forward any info.

Notes for REV. THOMAS MARSH:

Thomas was a deacon in the church at "Canada Parish" in Windham County, CT, afterwards called Hampton, in 1730. In 1738 preached at Mansfield, Connecticut where he was pastor-elect of the "Separatist Church," was imprisoned January 1746 for preaching without a license, but was ordained there the same year, 1746.

A letter dated December 14, 1975 to Mrs. Frances Allen Dunn a descendent of Jacob (3), Thomas (2), William Marsh (1), by Jame H. Barnett, Mansfield Historical Society.

Dear Mrs. Dunn:

Your corespondence with Mrs. Knowlton of the town clerk's office Mansfield, Connecticut has been brought to my attention because of my long-standing interest in the Mansfield Separatist Church which was headed initially by Mr. Thomas Marsh who appears to be one of your ancestors. I am writing you bout this matter form the standpoint of local history rather than genealogy but may be able to provide some relevant information that will be of use to you int he latter terms.

It is well-established that the Reverend Thomas Marsh is buried in the Mansfield Center Cemetery and I have seen his headstone. However, the local vital statistics do not indicate the place or even the date of his death. Form other sources, I gather that he died in 1753. His will is in the probate office of the Windham County Probate office and I have examined it or the court records of same. Mrs. Barnett and I recently discovered the name of Thomas Marsh and Eunice Marsh (his wife) in the records of the Hampton, CT. First Congregational Church and Mr. Marsh was listed as one of the founding members of the church and suggest that Thomas Marsh your great-great-great great grandfather's father was born 1687 though I know not where. He married Eunice Parkhurst of Plainfield, CT in February 4, 1712. They had a number of children one of whom was probably the ancestor Jacob referred to in your letter to Mrs. Knowlton. Another child, William Marsh was a member of Thomas Marsh's church in Mansfield and led a schismatic group of Separatists to Wantaga, New Jersey in 1756. We found some traces of in Newton New Jersey Historical Society records and learned that William Marsh has given up his leadership of the church he founded in Wantage and that he went to Wyoming Valley, PA where he was killed by the Indians.

Thomas Marsh bought land in Mansfield in 1749 and his son William acquired land in 17511 but sold it before he went to Wantage. Marsh's connection with the Great Awakening was strong and I am trying to trace his career in so far as documents make this possible. For instance I have in hand copies of the warrants and court records of three instances in which he was arrested for "disorderly" preaching; in each case, he was found "not guilty" but was not entirely exonerated by the court and was required to pay court cost. The cases involve arrest for unlawful preaching in Pomfret, CT., Windham, CT., and Tolland, CT. These affairs occurred in 1744, 45, and 46. Historical accounts suggest that he was arrested for planning to appear at a Separatist gathering in Mansfield, CT., scheduled for January 6, 1746 and that he spend six months in jail. I have not been able to locate any documentary evidences that he did in fact spend six months in the Windham Jail in spit of Isaac Backus' statements to this affect. A schism developed in the Mansfield Separatist Church sometime in the 1750's, one headed by Thomas Marsh and the other by John Hovey who was the first teaching elder of the church. The church died out gradually and expired finally in 1765 which only four member remaining. Thomas Marsh had no theological education, so far as I have learned and he was ordained by a curious process used by the Separatist so that the term "reverend" is perhaps a courtesy title but there is no doubt that he was an ardent and courageous Chistian who suffered much for his beliefs.

If you and or any member of the Marsh family known to you have in your possession any diary notes kept by Thomas Marsh or his descendants on this Separatist church in Mansfield, I would be most eager to learn of these and to see if somehow I might attain copies of this material. No records of the Mansfield Separatist Church have ever been found, to my knowledge and this greatly hampers the attempt to write a reliable historical account of this most interesting group and its leaders - Thomas Marsh, John Hovey, Shubael Dimmock, Matthew Denison, etc. If you know of anything - "The Marsh Interlude Years"? that might assist me in collecting material on the career of Thomas Marsh, I shall be most grateful for your help.

Your sincerely, James H. Barnett, Mansfield Historical Society

Notes for ELIHU MARSH:

From Abbe-Abbey Genealogy:

He resided for a time in Mansfield, then removed to New Fairfield, and later to New Milford, where he purchased alnd, 1765, 1769, and 1770. His home was in the part now called Jerusalem, and he resided there until his death. He was an elder in the Strict Congregational Church of New Milford for a number of years.

From History of New Milford (Orcutt)

Settled in New Milford (CT), at the place now called Jerusalem, on Rocky River, where he resided until his decease. He officiated as the minister of the Separate Church in New Milford, and as such was of very great importance to that church, for they were not able to pay the salary of a regularly installed minister, and Mr. Marsh had an independent property of his own. Whether he ever received any salary is unknown, but he probably served them as their minister several years while living in New Fairfield, and three years after settling in New Milford.

Elihu's will (not mentioning his wife) was admited to the Woodbury court on 5/18/1784 (per original document).

Notes for ERNEST GRIFFIN WALKER:

Written by the niece of Ernest G. Walker, Leona Sarah Walker Choffin (12/11/2001):

"Ernest G. Walker was a quiet, gentle man. He was 9 1/2 years younger than his only sibling, Murry. He seldom strayed from the Bath area. After graduating from Haverling High School, he lived in Hornell for a while where he worked in the Erie Railroad Machine Shop. He had a girl friend, but unfortunately never married.

His mother had a severe stroke about 1931, so he went back home to care for his mother and help his father on the farm. Grandmother was an invalid for five years before she died. His Father, then sold the farm and retired. So, Ernest had to find a job and a place to live. He worked at various jobs in Bath including a time at the V.A. Hospital. Eventually, he found that painting and yard work suited him. After falling off a ladder at the age of 73 and breaking his hip, he worked part time at the Chatfield Poultry Farm. Five years later, he broke his other hip. At this point, 1983, my Husband and I persuaded him to come and live with us. He eyesight and hearing were failing, but he still wanted to work. He was declared legally blind in 1986. In 1997, he had a minor stroke. His vision and hearing became more of a handicap.

In spike of his disabilities, he tried very had to do as much as he could for himself. He never wanted to be a burden. He was always cheerful and easy to get along with. (I think all the chocolate he ate, had a lot to do with it.) In June of this year, it was necessary to put him in a Nursing Home. He was able to ride around the halls in a wheelchair, and seemed to enjoy the freedom.

Uncle Ernest passed away peacefully on November 28, 2001 at the golden age of 102."
