Born in the city of Birmingham, Warwick shire, England, May 21, 1836, he crossed the ocean at the age of four years, his father also a native of this shire, emigrating to the United States in the hope of bettering himself in regard to his worldly affairs, a hope that met with fulfillment in the latter years of his life. On their arrival in New York they went at once to Racine county, Wis., locating on a farm, though previous to this time he had been engaged in the prosecution of his trade, which was that of a hatter. He took up one hundred and sixty acres of government land and continued in this location for twenty years, after which he moved to Juneau county, of the same state, amply able to afford the life of retirement to which his inclinations led him. He lived to be eighty-four years old, becoming an American citizen in the same sense of the word that he was once an English, taking an active interest in the events of the day and lending himself to all movements that contributed to the general welfare. He was in entire sympathy with the emancipation movement, being a strong Republican in his political convictions. In his religious views he found his church home with the Congregational denomination. He reared a large family and lived to see them all well settled in life: Samuel W., of Mauston, Wis.; Joseph, a farmer of the same place; Alfred, the subject of this sketch; Philip, who gave his life in active service in the Twenty-second Wisconsin, Company H, during the Civil war; Eliza Fluno, of juneau county, whose husband is a miller; and Mary Palmerton [actually Palmiter], who is now a widow engaged in the millinery business in Chicago, Ill. After the days of his youth were passed- days spent, during the summer time upon the farm, in the winter in the primitive school of Racine county- Alfred left home engaging in work for himself, turning naturally to the cultivation of the soil. Until 1864 he worked among the farmers of the neighborhood, going in the last-named year to join an emigrant train bound for the west. After six months of tedious journeying the party arrived safely in Boise City, Idaho, having been singularly fortunate in escaping the depradations of the Indians while on the trip. For twelve months after his arrival in Idaho, Mr. Smith worked in the mines, going in the fall of 1865 to a farm near Portland, Ore., which he worked for one year. He then bought a farm in Multnomah county, situated on the Columbia river, making this his home for the next four years, his next venture being in Yamhill county, where he invested in nine hundred and ninety-six acres of land located in Moore's valley, about four hundred of which are in active cultivation. For the same number of years that his father had spent on the place that gave him his competency -twenty years- he remained here, engaged in general farming and stock-raising, in 1900 retiring from active life, giving over the duties to his sons. Mr. Smith was married in 1863 to Miss Sarah Miller, a native of New York, and the children born to them are as follows: Mary E., at home; Charles L., of The Dalles; William B., of Carlton; Samuel P., a veterinary surgeon of North Dakota; Alfred, on the home farm; Arthur C., of McMinnville; and Emma Alexander, of Moore's valley. In his political convictions Mr. Smith follows the example of his father, upholding the principles of the Republican party, and serving in the same as road supervisor and various school offices. source - "Portrait and Biographical Record of the Willamette Valley", pages 660-661. 1870 census, Portland Post Office, Multnomah Co., Oregon, page 154: 1880 Census Place: North Fork, Yamhill, Oregon: Source: FHL Film 1255084 National Archives Film T9-1084 Page 409A Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Alfred SMITH Self M M W 45 ENG, Occ: Farmer Fa: ENG Mo: ENG Sarah D.

(issue of Thursday, February 9, 1882) Died MILLER - At North Settlement, in this town, February 6, Miss Polly Miller, aged nearly 82 years. [Note the four day discrepancy between her date of death as listed here and on her gravestone. In this case I think the newspaper date is correct.] (issue of Thursday, February 9, 1882) Polly Miller, of Ashland, died on Monday evening of this week, at the residence of her brother-in-law, Jesse Bronson. She was eighty-two years of age. Her death is the removal of one of the old landmarks of the region. In early life she met with disappointments which preyed upon her mind until it gave way and left her a mental wreck. As is not unusual in such cases, she acquired a roving disposition and a dislike for friends. While her physical strength would permit she almost constantly traveled from place to place on foot. Her condition and appearance excited the ridicule and insults of the rude and thoughtless, and the sympathy and compassion of those who appreciated the reason which God had given them and denied to her. Such a mode of life was annoying to her friends, and when all efforts to keep her at home failed they at times secured her detention at the alms-house. But restraint was irksome, and so long as strength permitted she preferred to wander from place to place. Her long, weary, sad life here has ended; death has removed all impediments to mental activity; and, clothed and in her right mind, she has gone to her account and reward. How much has been passed to her credit, upon that account, by reason of her affliction, we know not. But she has to do with one who tempers justice with mercy, and who doeth all things well.

These oaths were, first, allegiance to the State of New York; second, to support the constitution of the United States; third, freedom from any conspiracy or concern in any duel, heretofore or hereafter; and fourth, faithfully to perform the duties of the office. Beer's History of Greene Co.: p398 In section of pioneers of Windham. "Colonel Enoch Blakeslee was about making a visit to CT near the residence of the Doctor's (previous paragraph is talking about Dr. Elias Preston) relatives, and asked him what message he had to send. "Tell them," said the doctor, "that I have on two pair of pants and three vests." He was quite a scholar, and wrote rhymes for the amusement of the young people at the houses where he staid.

Notes for Allen Barlow: History of Broome County, New York: ALLEN BARLOW was born in Windham, Greene county, N. Y., September 17th, 1810. He was the son of Alanson and Mary Ann Barlow. His uncle, Joel Barlow, was U. S. Minister to France (appointed in 1811 by President Madison). The family were very prominent in Greene county. Allen received a common school education, and was afterward graduated in a select school at Andover, Mass., paid for by his own labor, which he improved to the utmost extent. When seventeen years of age he was called to teach in his own school district, which he accepted. Afterwards he went to the next district and taught three or four years, then to an adjoining town, and next to Lexington and Hunter, where he remained teaching some five or six years. He next took charge of a high school in the same town (Lexington) for two terms, subsequently clerked in a store near by, where he remained some two years and became familiar with the business. He then purchased the interest of the store at Lexington Heights, where he had clerked about two years. In September, 1838, he was married to Lucina Denton Blakeslee, daughter of Colonel Enoch Blakeslee, a well known military man of that day. After marriage he began to look for a desirable place to permanently locate. He had saved some $400 while teaching, which was his capital to purchase the business in the store. Subsequently he sold out and went to Prattsville, Greene county, N. Y., purchased a village lot of Colonel Pratt for $100, worked with his father one season, engaged in peeling bark and getting out timber for building his house on his lot in Prattsville. An aged man, a carpenter, Captain Munson, offered to lay out the work for the frame of his house to be built in Prattsville, ten miles distant. With his assistance he made the frame work and built the house with his own hands under instructions from his friend Captain Munson. A schoolmate, Cyrus Smalling, who had become a carpenter and builder, finished the house and waited for his pay. The next season he received his money. By means of this practical work he had become proficient as a carpenter and joiner, entered the employ of Cyrus S., the carpenter, and continued with him two or three years, as journeyman, at the trade. When he had paid for his house and lot and had earned some $700 ahead, in the spring of 1849, he went by the Isthmus of Panama to San Francisco, arriving just after a terrible fire that had nearly destroyed the town. He went with a party of thirty other acquaintances to seek his fortune. He purchased a chest of carpenter's tools after arrival in San Francisco for fifty dollars, and began his labor at ten dollars a day for his services as carpenter. He boarded at the U. S. Hotel, in San Francisco, slept in a hammock in the garret, paid two dollars per day for his board. In the fall of the same year he concluded to try mining and selected the southern mines, went on a steamer up the San Juan river to Stockton, thence sixty miles to Sonora. He engaged with B. Cruthers in manufacturing mining apparatus, entered his employ at six dollars per day, continued with him until the next spring, then he went into partnership with him, carrying on a general merchandise store, his capital consisting of $700, his partner furnishing the balance. He went to San Francisco and purchased goods. The firm did a very large business, as sales were from $100 to $1,000 per day, with customary 100 per cent. profit. One year's business placed the firm out of debt. During the year 1851 a mining company was formed to build a sluice-way from the mountains leading to the valley of Sonora. Mr. Barlow was solicited to become superintendent of the company. He accepted the position, but still continued as partner in the mercantile business. The destruction of Sonora by fire during this year included the firm's store. Everything was consumed. However, the firm re-built the store within the space of five days, purchased more goods and continued one year in trade when they were again in imminent danger of being burned out, but the store narrowly escaped. Previous to this the firm had built a hotel to accommodate one hundred boarders, which was almost completed and in running order, when it was completely destroyed by the second fire. He continued in trade till 1853, when he sold his interest and came home to New York. He remained in Greene county and built a house for his brother-in-law, made a trip through the country with his wife in search of a desirable location for business, and finally reached Binghamton in 1854, partly negotiated for his present home and subsequently completed this negotiation. In 1856 he entered a drug store as clerk for one year, in the village of Binghamton. He then purchased a half interest in a drug store with L. M. Rexford, in the village of Binghamton, N. Y., and in a short time afterward he became sole owner of the same. In 1857 he sold out and during the civil war he was appointed U. S. gauger, one of the first appointed under the new law. He held this office, with the exception of the years 1872 to 1878, up to 1884, when he resigned. During the war he was most active in supporting the government. He is a self-made man and one of independent thought. While in this office he carried on the manufacture of stencil work, which he has continued, and subsequently added the rubber stamp manufacturing, which has grown into an extensive business, occupying a basement within the block which he now owns on Washington street, city of Binghamton, N.

Notes for Richard Denton: from "Richard Denton" by: Irena Marion Denton Wooton (11th Generation Denton in America) © 1978, 1987, 1991, 1997: Richard Denton (5) great-great grandson of Rev Richard and my 4 times great grandfather, was born in 1714, married February 24, 1736 to Tabitha Rogers. They resided in Huntington, Long Island until about 1760 when they moved to North East, Dutchess County, New York. several of the Dentons moved to Amenia and Pine Plains about the same time. Unfortunately all early records had been kept at Amenia where they were destroyed by fire many years ago thus eliminating many valuable sources of information one might have expected to find in these old communities. I expect that one would find many Dentons in the old cemeteries of the area and it is my hope that I can make such a search one day. All Huntington dates are from Presbyterian Church or Town records. Richard (5) and Tabitha had ten children: Samuel, Mary, Temperance, Sarah, Josias, Israel, Richard, Isaac, Phebe, Jesse (6) (my ancestor). All of these children were bapti at Presbyterian Church, Huntington, Long Island, N.Y. This generation served in the war of the Revolution while their father was one of the signers of the Dutchess County "General Association", the local Declaration of Independence, in July 1775. The was led to several of these children moving to Saratoga County, N.Y. Five who made the move were: Samuel (6) bapti January 23, 1736, married October 27, 1760 the widow Hannah Weeks. Mary (6) bapti November 5, 1738, married Joel Ketchum January 9, 1764. In 1776, this couple moved to Amenia Precinct to be closer to her family and to get away from the hostilities in the Long Island area. Later, with Mary's brothers, they moved to Saratoga County where Ketchum's Corners, a small community near Saratoga Springs, was named after them. Mrs. Elizabeth Abel, Stillwater Town Historian, has recently written a "History of Ketchum's Corners". Joel died in 1808. Mary's date of death is unknown though both are buried at Ketchum's Corners Cemetery.

Notes for Jacob Jacobs: 1790 North Hempstead Twp., Queens Co., New york Jacob Jacobs 1 1 3 1 male16 and over (Jacob Jacobs) 1 male under 16 (unk) 3 females (2 of the four daughters and spouse) Following submitted by Irene M. Denton Wooten, from a manuscript handwritten by Elma Phoebe Denton Dayton, sister of Benjamin Denton. : Jacob Jacobs, supposedly of Jewish ancestry lived in Wales during the War of the Revolution and was very wealthy, owned castles, lands and three hundred serfs, beside these he had three vessels on the sea. He and his brother used these to send provisions to the American soldiers. This was against the law, his brother was watched one night as he was leaving the vessel and surrounded by a mob and hanged. Jacob Jacobs would have shared the same fate had he not been warned by an old and faithful slave. As it was, he and his young wife and infant son were permitted to come to this country, leaving all their riches and serfs behind them. They settled on Long Island and the son grew up, married and had four daughters: Sally, Polly, Thirza and Phebe. The last two married cousins by the name of Denton (Irene's note:actually all four married Dentons} Making sense of this: For the 4 daughters to have married the Dentons, they must have been born between 1750 and 1765. If Jacob Jacobs came to this country during the American Revolution, the earliest he could have come is 1776, but probably 1780. Therefore even the youngest daughter would be 11-16. So to make the 1790 census make sense, Jacob Jacobs is the male over 16, maybe a laborer is the male under 16, but Mr. Jacobs must have been about 65 years old which makes sense if he had riches in Wales. So I believe that Jacob Jacobs himself is the immigrant with four daughters. Children of Jacob Jacobs and ??? are: i. Lena Jacobs, born Abt. 1751 in Wales; married Israel Denton; born Bef.

Notes for Samuel Blakesley: My father's name was Joseph, my grandfather's name was Samuel, my great-grandfather's name was Ebenezer, and his father was Samuel, the first immigrant from England." SB "The forefoing pages are a copy of the original statement made by Oliver D. Blakeslee, son of Liver Blakeslee, the son of John W. Blakeslee, the son of Joseph Blakeslee, the son of Samuel Blakeslee, the son of Ebenezer Blakeslee, the son of Samuel Blakeslee the First, who with his brother John Blakeslee, settled upon Boston Neck, and carried on their occupation as blacksmiths. This was in the early settlement of British America." They supposedly came from england to this country about the year 1636. Deposition." NOTE FROM BEBE: Compilations from the New England Historical Records question the literal accuracy of this deposition: "Samuel Blakeslee, of Wheatland, Monroe County,New York, A RATHER EXCENTRIC INDIVIDUAL, prepared a manuscript history of his family, dated December 30, 1822. Undoubtedly this tradition is founded on facts, but probably some of these facts are sadly mixed and misapplied." FROM CONNECTICUT GENEALOGIES #1 There is not a Blakesley entry in the first an dsecond books of Hew Haven births, death, and marriges other than those of Samuel Blakesley and his descendants, and all of these records have been incorporated into this genealogy: and every deed indexed under Blakesley, either as grantee or grantor, in the first thirty volumes of the New Haven Land Records, has been examined. SAMUEL BLAKESLEY I Samuel Blakesley was a planter of Guilford, Conn., in 1650, and is the ancestor of the Woodbury and Waterbury, Conn., Blakesleys. The emigrant Samuel was probably a blacksmith, as the inventory of his estate includes "Shop Tools," 196 pounds of iron, and a lot of "refuse iron." The New Haven land records also show that other Blakesleys, for several generations, were blacksmiths. Samuel married Hannah Potter, daughter of John and Elizabeth Potter of New Haven. He bought his home lot at Guilford of Henry Dowd, about 1649. Richard Hubball "was admitted a planter a Guilford, Feb. 24, 1653/4, on purchasing Samuel Blatchley's lot and accommodations." (Steiner's History of Guilford, Conn., pp. 125, 129.) He removed to New haven between 1653 and 1657, and, by the New Haven records, died May 17, 1672. His inventory amounted to #231.14s.9d. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, by the County Court, June 16, 1672. Widow Hannah Blakesley maried Henry Brooks, Dec. 21, 1676. (New Haven Records.) On Jan. 3, 1676-7, Henry Brooks and his wife were warned to appear, with the children of Samuel Blakesley, before the court to give security. Samuel, being of age to choose his guardian, sought his father and mother, which the court approved and also appointed them to be guardian to Ebenezer, who was under age to choose. (County Court Records, Vol.,1,p.99, now with the Clerk of the Superior Court.) On Feb. 6, 1676-7, Henry Brooks and wife appeared before the court for the settlement of the estate of Samuel Blakesley, late of New Haven, deceased, and distribution was ordered, -----To Hannah Brooks, relict of the deceased; to John Blakesley, the eldest son; to Samuel Blakesley; to Ebenezer Blakesley; to Mary, daught of said Blakesley.

Theophilus from New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Volume IV: (I) Abraham Doolittle, who spelled his name Dowlittell, was born in the later part of 1619, or early in the following year, and early cast his lot with the Puritans. About the time of attaining his majority he came with his wife in search of a home in the new world to escape the religious tyranny of his native land and to enjoy personal and political liberty. He was in Boston as early as 1640, and before 1642 removed to New Haven, where he bought, or built for himself a house. He was a staunch Puritan, and his abilities were early recognized by his fellow colonists. In 1642 he took the oath of fidelity and was made chief executive officer of the New Haven colony when scarcely twenty-five years old. He was industrious, interested in public affairs, and had a comprehensive grasp of mind. Seven times he was chosen as deputy from New Haven to the general assembly in Hartford. It is said that Abraham Doolittle was the first white man to explore the forests north of New Haven, and in 1669 was one of the settlers of Wallingford, where he was chosen treasurer in 1671. In 1673 he was made sergeant of the first train band, and at the time of King Philip's war in 1675 he was a member of the vigilance committee. His dwelling in the lower part of the town at this time was fortified by a picket fort, and the old well which stood within the enclosure and supplied the inmates of the fort is still in use. He died August 11, 1690, having reached the allotted age of three score years and ten. His gravestone is still standing, the oldest in Wallingford. He was among those who organized the church at Wallingford. He married, in England, Joane, daughter of James Allen, a prosperous citizen of Kempton, in the county of Bedford, England. She died about twenty years later, and he married (second) July 2, 1663, Abigail Moss, born April 10, 1642, daughter of John Moss of New Haven, who died at Wallingford in 1707, at the age of one hundred and three years. She survived her husband, and died November 5, 1719, at the age of sixty-nine years. Children of Abraham Doolittle and Joan Allen are: i. Abraham Doolittle, born February 12, 1649/50. 295 ii.

Notes for Richard Beach: from ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM, Frederick Virkus: BEACH, Richard (b ca. 1620), from Eng. to Watertown, Mass., 1635, thence to New Haven Colony, and signer of the Compact of 1639, removed to New London, 1667; m ca. 1640, Catherine (Cook) Hull (widow of Andrew Hull, of New Haven). RICHARD BEACH1 OF NEW HAVEN A Biography By Eugene H. Beach, Jr. Reprinted from the Beach Family Journal, Vol. II, No. 1 (Spring, 1994) Richard Beach1, the "Immigrant" or "Pilgrim", first finds mention in the records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven on June 4, 1639. Nothing of his life prior to that time is known with certainty, although unsubstantiated claims abound. According to one source "It appears that Richard was born about 1611..."; presumably based on the belief that "In 1691 he died... age about 80 years", Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, pp. 5, 7. His place of birth and the identity of his parents have been the subject of much speculation, See: E. Beach, "Beach of New Haven", Beach Family Journal, Vol. I, No. 2, pp. 31-37; Vol. I, No. 3, pp. 50-60, for a comprehensive discussion of various claims and theories concerning the origins and ancestry of the New Haven Beach family. Otherwise, it is established by the ancient records that he was (1) brother to Thomas Beach1 of New Haven, (2) "cozn." [i.e. cousin] to William and Thomas Iles or Eyles, also of New Haven, and (3) was in some way related to John Moss, one of the founders of Wallingford, Connecticut. It also generally accepted that John Beach1 of New Haven was yet another brother of both Richard and Thomas, although the evidence for this is largely circumstantial. Much confusion still persists because of earlier genealogists' mis-identification of Richard Beach of New Haven with one Richard Beach of Watertown, Massachusetts, e.g., Farmer, A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England, p. 30 ["Beach, Richard, Cambridge, 1635, Watertown, 1639; may have removed to New Haven..."]; Bond, Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, p. 679; Hinman, A Catalogue of the Names of the Early Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut, pp. 163-164. While it is now clear the two men were separate and distinct, one still encounters claims that Richard Beach of New Haven came from England in 1638/39 on the ship "Elizabeth and Ann", when in fact that vessel was the one which transported Richard Beach of Watertown to Boston in 1635. Other sources, following the lead of Elmer T. Beach's Beach In America, published in 1923, recognize the distinction between the two Richard Beaches while still suggesting the existence of some relationship between them, such as uncle and nephew, but such theories have yet to be proven. Even the first record to Richard Beach at New Haven has generated a fair amount of confusion. The entry for June 4, 1639, reads: "... John Clarke being absent when the couent w[as] made, doth now manefest his consent to itt, allso Richard Beach, Andrew Low, Goodmn Banister, Ar[thur] Halbidge, John Potter, Robt Hill, John Brockett and John Johnson, these persons being nott [ad]mitted planters when the couent was made doth now express their consent to itt." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 12-13. In order that this reference may be properly understood, something must be said of the history of the New Haven colony generally. On April 25, 1637, some 500 Puritans, headed by the Reverend John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, embarked on the ship "Hector" and one or more other vessels, sailing from England to arrive at Boston on June 26, 1637. Here they wintered until March 18, 1638, when the company sailed around to the south of Connecticut, to the old Indian grounds of Quinnipiac, which had been chosen as the site of the new settlement. After providing for their immediate physical needs, the "planters" or "proprietors", i.e., those who had invested in the colony as stockholders, turned their attention to the question of "settling Ciuill Governmt". At the urging of Davenport a "plantation covenant" or agreement was reached in 1638 to make the Scriptures the supreme law of the community. Before this could be implemented, however, it was necessary to "gather" or organize the first church. A group of twelve were selected for this purpose who, after a suitable period of prayer and consideration, chose from among themselves the first seven church members. These seven, in turn, elected their church officers and established the qualifications by which others would be admitted to fellowship. This done, a committee was then appointed to organize the colony's government itself, culminating in a "general meetinge" of "all the free planters assembled together" on June 4, 1639. Here two questions were propounded and voted on, the first being "Whether the Scripturs doe holde a perfect rule for the directio: and gouernmt of all men in all duet(ies) wch they are to performe to God and men..." Not surprisingly, all expressed their assent to this principle. The second question concerned whether the assembled planters would reaffirm their earlier "plantation covenent," which again"... was assented vnto by all, and no man gainsaid itt,..." Taken together, these covenents and understandings were known as the "foundamentall agreemt", to which the assembled colonists signed their names; the signature of Richard Beach following those of his kinsman, John Moss, and Moss' brother-in-law, John Charles, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 17. As the entry first quoted above makes clear, however, eight of the New Haven freemen, including Richard Beach, were specifically asked to express their consent to the initial "planation covenent". In the case of John Clarke this was because of his "being absent when the couent was made..." Based on this Elmer T. Beach and others have suggested that Richard Beach was likewise absent when these preliminary agreements were reached in 1638. Thus: "... it appears from the record itself that he was not present at the first meeting when the matter was first talked over. For some reason or other he had been absent at the first meeting, as was the case with six or seven others, possibly they had been out on military duty, for a guard of seven or eight was constantly on duty night and day, to prevent surprises by Indians." Beach, Beach In America, p. 38. This author's own reading of the entry, however, leads to a wholly different conclusion. Of the eight men seperately asked to affirm the plantation covenant, only Clarke is described as "absent" at the earlier meeting. As for Richard Beach and the others, the reason given for requiring their separate assent is that "these persons being nott [ad]mitted planters when the couent was made..." This suggests Richard Beach was in New Haven as early as 1638, but had either not paid in his share to become a "proprietor" [stockholder] and/or had yet to satisfy the requirements of church membership necessary to participate in the colony's civic life. The old New Haven records thereafter contain numerous entries related to Richard Beach. Many of these provide interesting insights into everyday life in the colony, including various disputes and controversies between the settlers themselves or with their new "theocratic" government. Consider, for example, the next reference: "At a Court holden the 3d of Aprill, 1640 - Itt is ordered thatt John Mosse, Timothy Forde and Richard Beach shall pay each of them 1s fine for trees wch they did fall disorderly." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 31-32. One can well imagine the scene - Richard Beach, his kinsman John Moss, and Timothy Ford setting out to fell trees, either for lumber or firewood. Most likely working with broad axes, they cut down more than they could use, or else left behind large piles of brush, perhaps blocking a path. Someone then complained to the authorities and all three found themselves hauled into court where each was docked a shilling, proving in the process that "visible sainthood" and status as a "free burgess" or "planter" did not guarantee the "orderly" felling of trees. Several months later, however, the situation was reversed, with Richard Beach giving testimony in a case against one Arthur Halbridge, accused of false measure in the sale of lime used in building the town mill. Thus, at a general court held November 4, 1640: "Edward Adams testified vpon oath thatt the note of informaco: wch he had formrlly delivered into the court [concerning lime wch Arther Halbidg hath delivered to the mill] is true, wch when he had done, Arther Halbidge excepted against itt, thinking to prove the said Edward Adams a pjured pson. Butt Goodman Pigge, Rich: Beach and John Wakefield affirmed the truth of what Edward Adams had testified , [though the said Artur Holbidg did conceive they would have contradicted Edw: Adams his testimony], itt was therefore ordered thatt the said Arther should pay two folde for all the want of measure thatt is charged vpon him, and from henceforthe take noe worke by the great, nor burne any lime, to sell." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 46. Unfortunately, it appears that Richard Beach failed to profit by Arthur Halbridge's example since, two years later, at a court held August 5, 1642, we find: "Richard Beach for nott perfor'ing covenant in the worke wch he undertooke to doe att the mill, wch he was to doe strongly and substantially, butt did itt weakely and sleightly as was proved by the testimony of John Wakefield the miller, himselfe allso nott denyinge itt; Itt was ordered that he should make good the damage butt because the damage is not justly known what itt is, Mr. Goodyear, and Mr. Gregson are to [ve]ew the worke, and consider off and sett downe the damage by his [defec]tive workmanship..." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 75. We can forgive this dereliction of duty, however, since at the time he was likely preoccupied by matters more important than the mill work, i.e., his marriage to Catherine or Katherine Cook[e], the widow of Andrew Hull, and the birth of the couple's first child. The exact date for this event is not certain. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, p. 144, says "Richard, New Haven 1639,... m.a. 1640 the wid. of Andrew Hull,..." Hibbard's History of the Town of Goshen, Connecticut, p. 418, says "m. in 1640-1, Catherine Cook;..." On the other hand, R. R. Hinman, in his Catalogue of the Names of the Early Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut, p. 163, states "BEACH, RICHARD, a New Haven planter, and unmarried in 1643." The question is further complicated by a undated tax list for early New Haven, said by some to have been made in April, 1641, but appearing in the published records with entries for 1643, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 92. This list includes both Andrew Hull and Richard Beach, despite the fact Hull is said to have died in 1640. Hull's household is shown as containing four persons, presumably being himself, his wife Catherine, and their two daughters, with an estate valued at 40 pounds and including 35 acres of land. In contrast, Richard Beach's household is shown as containing only one person, presumably himself, with an estate valued at 20 pounds and including 12 acres of land. But in any case it is clear Richard Beach was married by late 1641, based on the fact the couple's first child, Mary, is said to have been born in June, 1642. Moreover, the town records for February 8, 1643/44, explicity state that "Richard Beach hath ingaged his house and lott to secure a former agreemt in reference to the children of Andrew Hull, late deceased," Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 124. Further references to Richard Beach in the old New Haven records are as follows: On January 4, 1643, he and several others were fined one shilling each "for late coming to trayne," i.e., military drill, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 122. The following year, on July 1, 1644, Richard Beach and all other planters signed the so-called "Oath of Fidelity", pledging loyalty to the colonial givernment, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 137-139. Thereafter, at a court held October 6, 1645, he was again the subject of a complaint by a fellow colonist: "Michaell Palmer complayned that Richard Beech did promise to pay him a debt of 35s in beaver but had fayled. Richard Beech acknowledged the debt & his promise to pay beaver, but professed he could not gett beaver. The court ordered that Richard Beech should pay the debt in some other pay soe as it may equall beaver, to the said Palmers satisfaction (wth damadges for forbearance,) before the next court, or elce an execution [i.e., seizure of property] shall goe forth agaynst him." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 170. Later that same year, at a court held December 3, 1645, he was witness in a claim by Stephen Medcalfe against one Francis Linley. The latter had sold Medcalfe his gun, representing it to have been recently repaired and in good shape, when in fact it had a defective breech. After losing an eye when the gun barrel exploded, Medcalfe brought suit for damages. In the course of the trial "Richard Beech affirmed that Francis offered him that gun to sell & demanded 20s, telling him to his best remmembrance that it had a new britch [i.e., breech]," Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 178. Since the accident might just as easily have been fatal, one wonders how history might have been changed had Richard Beach purchased the weapon instead of Medcalfe. As noted above, Richard Beach's marriage to the widow Hull was accompanied by an agreement between the couple, sanctioned if not required by the New Haven court, to guarantee Hull's two daughters their share of their father's estate. As security for his promises Richard Beach had pledged his house and lands. As the old town records reveal, however, this apparently caused considerable trouble and inconvenience, requiring him to appear several times before the authorities to explain his actions or else petition for relief. In January 1645/46, for example, it is recorded that: "Richard Beech hath sould his owne howse to bro: Wm Pecke & whereas the said howse was sugadged for the securitye of the portions of the children of Andrew Hull, (whose widdow he marryed,) in liew thereof he hath now ingadged his howse, barne, cellar & well, vallewed at 40L wth the 7 acres of land on wch it stands, the howse, barne & celler being compleatly finished being built wth bricke & stonne as he promiseth & so kept in repaire & the land in hart for securitye of the portions of the said children." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 184 Adding to such difficulties was the fact his cousin, William Iles, had or would soon die, with Richard Beach serving as the administrator of his estate. Thus, at a court held February 2, 1646/47: "Ricd Beech informed the court that his cozn Wm Iles had done some work for Mr. Mullyner, & several times he had desired to have had it issued but he hindered it, & now latly he refusseing to make payment for what was don, he had him warned to the court to answere it. Mr. Mullyner told Ricd Beech, if he would prove the bargaine & pformance of it, he would pay him. John England said he was to vnderpin his howse, make a back to a chimney, stone a well & get the stons, for three pownds; but to his knowledge he had no time set him for the doeing of it; he being at work at Mr. Shirmans, whose necesjtj was very great, he desired Wm Iles to get some boddy els to help hm, but in fiue severall times they came & things were not ready, & when they had don his howse & almost finished the well, insomuch that there was 20 inches water, 7 weeks after Michaelmas; after that, Jno England would have put a caske in the bottom, & dugg it deeper, but Mr. Mullyner would have pswaded him the spring were risen 2 foote in the well, when it was otherwayes in Goodmn Wards well, as was tryed, & he hath held them of [i.e., off] wth delayes, that it is yet vnfinished... The centence of the court was, that Mr. Mullyner pay 55s vnto John England and Rich Beech, (and that he pay 5s) besids the chardges vnto them, Jno England finishing it." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 294. Moreover, the need to post security as fiduciary of Isles' estate placed further burdens on Richard Beach's land holdings. Thus, at a court held March 2, 1646/47: "Wm Iles his inventory was presented to the court, wherevpon the Gor propownded that Rich Beech give in securyty to the content of this court, or els pay into the treasurers hands the vallew of the inventory. Bro. Anthony Thompson and bro. Clarke are desired to view the land Rich Beech presents for securyty at home. Also orderd that the secretary wright a letter to the towne where Wm Iles lyved, vnto his brother, and that Richard Beech should bring into the court what chardges he hath bin at in gathering the inventory." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 300-301. A particularly interesting reference is that contained in the records of a court held the following week, on March 10, 1646/47. As students of early New England history are aware, seating in the church or "meetinghouse" was as formal an affair as admission to church membership itself. Seats were assigned by a committee, based on such factors as a member's social status, wealth and age; with the more prominent members sitting closer to the front. Thus, on this date, "The names of people as they were seated in the meetinghowse were read in court & it was ordered they should be recorded wch was as followeth:..." Not surprisingly, the first seats in the middle section were reserved for the governor, deputy governor and others of high station. A similar pattern was followed for the other two sections, described as "In the crosse seats at the end" and "On the other side of the dore." As the record discloses, Richard Beach was chosen to occupy the second row of seats "On the other side of the dore", consistent with what today might be called his solid "middle class" standing. In like fashion, "Goody Beach" occupied a corresponding seat in the sections set aside for female members, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 302-304. As noted above, Anthony Thompson was to inspect Richard Beach's land to determine its value as security for the Iles' estate. Thompson evidently liked what he saw, or else Richard Beach was in need of funds, for two months later, at a court held May 4, 1647, note was made of: "An entry of 5 acr. 1/4, 12 rodd of land lyeing on the west side abutting eastward vpon a highway by the west meddow, westward vpon the second devizion of land on the west side, allyenated [alienated, i.e., transfered] from Richard Beech to Anthony Thompson." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 307. On that same day it was also recorded: "Rich: Beech propownded to the court for helpe, Mr. Mullyner not paying to hm what the court ordred hm to pay for his cozn , Wm Iles. The court propownded that hee would stay till another court, wch he inclyned to doe. Further, whereas Anthony Thompson & John Clarke were to view some land of Rich Beeches for securjtie of Wm Iles his estate, they thinke the land is not securytye, therefore the court gave him time till the next court to provide sufficient securytye, or els to pay it into the treasurer." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 310. The time allowed to post this security proved insufficient, however, for at a court held on December 7, 1647: "Richard Beech dissiered of the courte that he might, till further order, retaine in his hands the estate of William Iles, deceased; but he being not fitted to give in sufficient securetie, it was respited till another courte." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 345. Unfortunately, this further "respite" or adjournment likewise proved inadequate for, at the court held one month later, on January 4, 1647/48, it is recorded that Richard Beach, among others: "... being all warned seasonably [i.e., timely notified], made no appearanc, thoughe the court satt a good space of time. The court gave order that they should be warned to the next courte, to answer for this neglecte." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 356. But just when it might seem Richard Beach stood in danger of a charge of contempt, help came forward in the person of his brother, John Beach. Thus, at the court held February 1, 1647/48: "Richard Beech dissiered of the courte that he might retayne the estate of William Iles in his hand till further order, wch is as apeares by the inventorie 13L: 17S: 00D: the courte tould hime vpon securetie he mighte; he offered himeselfe and 9L worthe of land, as it was valewed by Anthony Tompson & John Clarke as apeares in a note vnder there hands. The land is 22 acrs of vpland in the second devission, and 5 acrs of meddowe in the west meddowe, and 2 acrs of vpland in the quarter at his house, and for the other 5L John Beech becometh suretie wth hime, as the said John Beech declareth in courte, wch the courte accepted, wth this proviso, that if John Beech should dye or leaue the towne, Richard Beech put in other securitye to the courts satisfaction." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 364. Still, with his property now pledged to secure both the Iles' estate and the two Hull children's inheritance, Richard Beach apparently sought to acquire additional lands. The records for the court held June 6, 1648, reveal that: "John Moss passeth ouer to Richard Beech 1 acr, 1 quarter & 14 rod of meddowe, lying in the west meddowe, one end abutting on the West River, the other end running into a cove in the vpland, betwixt the meddowe of Richard Beech & James Russell." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 384. As noted above, John Moss is believed to have been related to the three Beach brothers, most likely their uncle, so it is possible this property was a gift. Years later, for example, Moss is on record as coveying to John Beach2, Thomas1, the nephew of Richard Beach, a parcel of land in Wallingford, Connecticut, in consideration of the "natural affection" he felt toward his "cousin". In addition to this acquisition from John Moss, Richard Beach also sought a grant of land from the colony itself. Thus, at a court held January 31, 1648/49: "Richard Beech desired a small pec [piece] of meddow in a cove on ye west side next his owne, but it was said in ye court that it is lotted out allreadie." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 427-428. Perhaps because this parcel was unavailable, Richard Beech chose instead to dispose of the piece of meadow he did own. The court held February 6, 1648/49 accordingly noted that: "Richard Beech passeth ouer to Mathew Moulthrop one acr & a half of meddow lying, 1 acr of it in ye west meddow on this sid ye river, fronts vpon Mr. Lambertons vpland, ye reare to ye river, a highway through ye meddow to ye north, Mathew Molthrop on ye south, 1/2 acr in Sollatary Cove not laid out." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 430-431. The foregoing is the last reference to Richard Beach in Charles Hoadly's Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, published in 1857. Based on this fact Elmer T. Beach would later write: "A vail of partial obscurity covers his whereabouts and doings between 1648, when he disappears from the active records of New Haven Colony, and 1660." Beach, Beach In America, p. 54 Elmer T. Beach further relied on this apparent final reference to support his theory that Richard Beach of New Haven and Richard Beach of Watertown, Massachusetts, were related; the former leaving Connecticut c. 1648 to stay with his "uncle" in Massachusetts until 1660, when he would return, See: Beach, Beach In America, pp. 138-139. It appears, however, that Elmer T. Beach was ignorant of or else did not have access to Franklin Bowditch Dexter's Ancient Town Records: New Haven Town Records, 1649-1662, published in 1917 by the New Haven Colony Historical Society and containing material not previously included by Hoadly. This source clearly shows Elmer T. Beach's basic assumption - that Richard Beach left New Haven c. 1648 - to be unfounded. On the contrary, he remained there at least until late 1657, as these further records reveal. At a court held April 1, 1651, the question of Andrew Hull's two children again arose: "Richard Hull is to be warned to the next Court aboute his fence: and to give in security for Richard Beech for so much as his house and land is worth, wch was ingaged for the portions of ye children of Andrew Hull." Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 69 While the record is somewhat obscure, Richard Hull is thought to have been a younger brother of Andrew. It further seems likely that, as uncle of the two Hull children, he served as surety for Richard Beach on the latter's pledge, much as John Beach had done earlier in connection with the estate of William Iles. If so, then this entry may mean Richard Beach had recently sold his house and land, requiring Richard Hull to post other security in its place. On the other hand, it is clear that Richard Beach had not yet moved totally from New Haven, but may have instead relocated to the "suburbs", for at a court held June 7, 1652, "It was propounded that new viewers for the fences might be chosen for the yeare ensuing, and accordingly it was done:...", with John Thomas and Richard Beach selected "... for the quarters from Millford highway to the sea side;...", Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 132. Responsible for seeing that all fences in his district were kept in good repair, to prevent livestock from running free and/or damaging crops, he lost little time in discharging his duties, for at a court held December 7, 1652: "Richard Beech, one of the viewers for the suburbs quarter, complained that there is a parcell of fence in their quarter wch the old viewers informed them belonged to severall men, vizd. Edward Parker, William Peche, John Wakefield, Mathew Camfield; but they do not owne it. He was told the quarter must looke after it, and see it be issued; else it must come to the Court againe, and that will be chargeable to those that are found the offendors/" Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 156. It was also in this year that Richard Beach found himself a witness in the celebrated case of his brother, Thomas Beach, versus Edward Camp. According to the records of a court held November 2, 1652: "Thomas Beech declareth that he went to Richard Sperries farme vpon some occasion betwixt his brother Richard Beech and himselfe, and found their Edward Camp, Ralph Lines, and Richard Beech: it seemes they were talking of him when he came in, for Edw: Camp said when he saw him, here hee comes;..." Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, pp. 151-153. After a heated argument between Camp and himself, Thomas Beach left to go home. Camp followed him into the woods, however, and assaulted Thomas Beach with a stick, causing injuries which the governor himself would later see and describe, "... Thom: Beech hauing showed him his arme, and the effeccts of them he found in his body, being sore beatten aboute ye backe." Although not witnessing the actual assault, Richard Beach and the others "... all testified that there was a quarrelling betwixt them in the house, and that after Thom: Beech was gone, Edward Camp eate some victuall and went out, saying he would goe fetch his gune wch he had left in the woods..." Ultimately Camp confessed, pleading in mitigation that "... he did it in a passion, but it was but wth a small sticke that he strucke him wth, that he thought would not hurt him." Curiously, Elmer T. Beach was aware of this incident between Thomas Beach and Edward Camp, Beach In America, p. 29, but was apparently ignorant of its date, since otherwise he would not have asserted Richard Beach "disappeared" from the New Haven records after 1648. We may assume the administration of William Iles' estate was, by this time, concluded to the satisfaction of all concerned. There are, in any event, no further references to it in any of the old town records as published. Such was still not the case, however, with Richard Beach's promises concerning his two step-daughters, children of Andrew Hull. Thus, at a court held June 6, 1654: "The court being informed that Richard Beech is to goe away from this Towne, called him to show how he intended the two children his wife had before hee married her (wch was Andrew Hulls) should haue their portions paid, wch is fifteene pounds ten shillings a peece, as appears by Ingagment vnder his & his wiues hand before marriage: he said he intended the house he liued in and the land should be part, and two cowes & a steere Children of Richard Beach and Catherine Cooke are: i. Mary Beach, born June 1642 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died Bef. 1690 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut; married John Hull; born Bef. May 24, 1640 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died December 06, 1711 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. Notes for John Hull: A physician; surgeon for Connecticut Colony in King Philip's War (paid 14 shillings a week while in service). Moved to Stratford in 1661, then to Derby (originally called Pawgassett) in 1668; prominent in town and church - built the first parsonage and first meeting-house. Moved to Wallingford in 1687 and built the first flour and corn mill there. One of the original proprietors of Derby. Represented Derby in the General Court. On September 28, 1696, the town of Derby voted to sue John Hull for "non performance of covenant as to the building & maintaining a mille for ye said Towne." ii. Benjamin Beach, born October 1644 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died April 09, 1713 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; married (1) Mary Peacock Abt. 1671; born Abt. 1644 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; married (2) Sarah Wells February 01, 1677/78 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; born September 28, 1659 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; died Abt. 1704; married (3) Mary Wheeler December 05, 1705 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; born September 13, 1655 in Stratford, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; died August 17, 1747 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. Notes for Benjamin Beach: It is sometimes claimed he was a brother to his father, rather than son, but this is based on the mistaken belief that he purchased property in Stratford ten years earlier than was actually the case. 296 iii. Azariah Beach, born July 06, 1646 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died Abt. 1693 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; married Martha Ives 1675 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. iv. Mercy Beach, born Bef. May 21, 1648. v. Abigail Beach, born June 04, 1653 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died August 11, 1722 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; married Simon Tuttle 1679 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut; born March 22, 1646/47 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died April 16, 1719 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. 594. William Ives, born September 09, 1621 in Ipswitch, Suffolk, England; died April 03, 1648 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. He was the son of 1188. John Ives and 1189. ???. He married 595. Hannah Dickerman June 14, 1639 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. 595. Hannah Dickerman, born 1622 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died November 06, 1665 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. She was the daughter of 1190. Thomas Dickerman and 1191. Eleanor Whittington. Notes for William Ives: Born about 1607 in England, died 1648, New Haven, Connecticut. Married Hannah [possibly Hannah Dickerman, daughter of Thomas D. Dickerman and Eleanor Whittington, b. 1622, d. 1665]. Her second husband was William Bassett (m. Nov. 7, 1648). William Ives sailed from England in the ship "True Love" in 1635, landing at Boston. He is listed in the "Original Lists of Persons of Quality, 1600-1700," as "Wm. Joes," age 28, transported to New England on TrueLove, Sept. 1635.1 Genealogist Arthur Coon Ives has explained that early copyists frequently misspelled the name Ives, and that the letters "v" and "u" were used interchangeably.2 It is generally assumed that William came from the Norfolk, England Ives family. He lived for a time near Watertown, Massachusetts, and then joined the Davenport Company, a group of Puritans led by Rev. John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton. They left Boston Harbor on March 30, 1638 in search of a location for a new colony, finally landing at what is now New Haven, where the Quinnipiac River meets the Sound. They held their first Sabbath observance under an oak tree at the harbor on April 15, 1638. "Will Eues" was among 63 planters of the group. A 1641 map apparently shows the 18 ¾ acres assigned to William Ives in the new colony.3 The group purchased the land for the colony from the Indians, and supposedly lived in peace with the Indians for quite a while. The census of the colony in 1639 indicates that William had married "Hannah" by that time.4 In a church roll of 1641, William was listed as #69, and in 1646 Hannah was listed as #149.5 At a General Court held on March 10, 1646 to designate seats in the meetinghouse (men and women on separate sides), "Willm Ives" and "Sister Iues" were listed.6 William died at New Haven in 1648, leaving a widow and four children. His widow remarried to William Bassett on November 7, 1648.7 Children of William Ives and Hannah Dickerman are: i. Phebe Ives, born October 02, 1642; married Joseph Potter; born November 1636 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. ii. John Ives, born Bef. December 29, 1644 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died 1682 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut; married Hannah Merriman November 12, 1668 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; born May 16, 1651 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died 1702 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. Notes for John Ives: John was baptized December 29, 1644 in the New Haven colony. When he was about 23 (1667), the New Haven colonists voted to create a new village on the East River, and their request was granted by the "General Courte" at Hartford. On January 31, 1668, 39 colonists, including John and his brother Joseph Ives, signed a covenant to settle in the new village by "next May."11 The new village was Wallingford. John Ives and Hannah Merriman were married on November 12, 1668. [Hannah was born May 16, 1651 in New Haven.] They left New Haven and settled in Wallingford at "North Farms".12 John was a farmer. In the new village, each planter was required to help build the community. Decisions were made by a majority vote, with guidance from the Bible and Church. The first homes built were log cabins with thatched roofs, and later frame buildings of white oak. John died in about 1682 (age 38), leaving five children, the youngest of whom was only a baby. Hannah remarried to Joseph Benham in the same year. iii. Joseph Ives, born 1647 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died November 17, 1694 in North Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; married Mary Yale January 03, 1671/72 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; born October 26, 1650 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died October 15, 1704 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. 297 iv. Martha Ives, born 1648 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut; died Aft. 1690; married Azariah Beach 1675 in New Haven, New Haven Co., Connecticut. 596. Thomas Andrew Sanford, born 1608 in Hatfield, Broad Oak, Essex, England; died October 18, 1681 in Milford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. He was the son of 1192. Ezekiel Sanford and 1193. Rose Warner. He married 597. Sarah Meadows 1637 in Dorchester, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts. 597. Sarah Meadows4,5, born 1615 in England; died May 14, 1681 in Milford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. She was the daughter of 1194. Henry Meadows and 1195. Margaret Preston. Notes for Thomas Andrew Sanford: Thomas Sanford (1-1) first appeared in the Town Records of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Dorchester was settled in 1630, but no lands were allotted until 3 April 1633. It is now a part of Boston and called South Boston and Dorchester. The town records begin 16 Jan 1632. The first settlers were prior to 1636 were one hundred and thirty eight in number, and Thomas Sanford was one of them. He was made a Freeman on 9 March 1637. This right or title conferred upon the holder the right of suffrage and also an advantage in the division of lands. The principal qualification for this position was church membership in a Congregational church. Much reference is made in the notes as to the term "freeman". A freeman was required to be of godly walk and conversation, required to be at least twenty years of age, to take the Freeman's Oath of allegiance to the government of Massachusetts, to be worth £200, to hold office if elected or pay a fine of forty shillings, to vote at all elections or pay same fine. He was allotted land in Dorchester in 1635. He entered into an agreement to look after the town cows for the season of 1635 and 1637. It is believed that he married in Dorchester and this his first two children were born there. It is also believed that he stayed there until after April, 1640, when the parcel of land was granted to him that had been previously only "booked" to him. He was surely in Milford in January, 1642, when he joined the church. His third child, Mary, is recorded in the records of the First Church of Milford as having been born in January 1641. Milford land records indicate that he was allotted land there beginning in 1643. His name appears in other instances over the years as late as 1680. They indicate that he bore his part and was held in the good opinion of this neighbors, that he was a frugal and industrious citizen, which was shown by the amount of his estate, appraised 21 Oct 1681, soon after his death at over £450. Two of his sons, Ezekiel and Samuel became quite wealthy for those times. Records indicate that he could read, write, and "cast accompts (accounts)." His will shows him to have been a prosperous, successful man, of a kindly and generous nature and of exceptional character. Thomas Sanford Genealogy c., 1911, pp. 60-82 Thomas Sanford arrived in the colonies with his younger brother Andrew and his uncle, Andrew Warner, in 1632 at Dorchester, Massachusetts. He sailed on the ship Arabella as part of the Winthrop Fleet. Many ships over many months came as a part of that activity. He, one brother and their uncle, traveled as single men. He married Dorothea Meadows in Dorchester and they had two children. She died shortly after. He married Sarah Meadows and they set out for Hartford, Connecticut, where some of his relatives had settled, then went on to Milford, Connecticut, where they made their home and had more children. They became an important part of that community by owning property and being very active in both church and civic affairs. They were considered among the founders of Milford, Connecticut. All but the first two children were born at Milford and the parents were buried there. He was married to Sarah Meadows in 1641 in Dorchester. There are no stones marking their graves. The oldest stone marker is 1726, Mrs. Samuel Sanford. Maid Sara Whitlock is mentioned in his will. (Source: Elizabeth Wallace) John Sanford, San Jose, CA (June, 1996) Additional information on the ancestors of Thomas Sanford is located on Brøderbund World Family Tree, Volume 8, Pedigree #3331. This provides a vital link to Nicholas deSandford and his spouse, Alice Botilier. Alice is a descendant of Henry II, King of England, and links the Sanford family with the royal families of the United Kingdom and other royal families on the continent. Dennis BeMent (August, 1997) An excellent published record of the Sanford Family in America is available in some libraries entitled: Thomas Sanford Genealogy - The Emigrant to New England, 1610-1910 by Carlton E. Sanford, Potsdam, New York; c., 1911, The Tuttle Company, Rutland, Vermont. This is a two volume set consisting of 1612 pages and over 18,000 Sanford descendants. One known set is located at the Orlando Public Library, Orlando, Florida. Reference numbers are included for many of the descendants as assigned from the original publication. In order to provide an efficient reference to that publication the following is an interpretation of that reference: 4-141/110 would indicate David Sanford, who was of the fourth generation, individual #141, with the first reference of him in the original publication located on page 110. A reprint of the above 1911 book is also available from the Higginson Book Company in Salem, Massachusetts. There appears to be considerable confusion in ascertaining all of the pertinent information on Thomas as there were other Sanford's that emigrated to American and many others by the name Thomas. The author of the book, Carlton E. Sanford, indicates that Thomas' first two (of seven) children were born in Dorchester and the other five in Milford. He does not, however, acknowledge that the first two children were from a first wife as indicated in some later records. Carlton Sanford indicates that Thomas was not a part of the Winthrop Fleet. Later records indicate that he was in fact part of one of those crossings. Dennis BeMent (November, 1997) THOMAS ANDREW SANFORD CONNECTICUT (1607/08-1681) Thomas SANFORD, progenitor of his line in America was born in 1607/08 at Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, England. Thomas settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he was granted a four-acre tract of land 22 Nov. 1634, and sixteen acres, 4 Jan. 1635. These two plots were "on the west side of the way by Mr. Hawthorne's by the brooke on Roxbury boundes" and on 18 Feb. 1635, he was allotted two acres in the fresh marsh nearest the town. Thomas was married 1636-37 to Sarah, maiden name unknown, at Dorchester, MA. She died May 14, 1681 at Milford, CT. Her name is not mentioned in her husband's will who died in the following October. He was added to the First Church of Milford Jan 9, 1642 and she Dec. 16, 1642. Thomas and Sarah were the parents of seven children. An interesting document in Dorchester, MA, records, entered April 17, 1635, reveals that Thomas THORNTON and Thomas SANFORD were to keep the cows for seven months for which they were to receive 5s.3d. a cow if there were six cows; if the herd were less they would receive less payment. The two men promised to collect the cows each morning an hour after sunrise, and to drive them across the bridge on their return trip at evening. This routine was followed each week day, and by one man on Sunday. The following year, 1636, it was further ordered by the court that all cows must be placed in the care of keepers in a common pasture from April 17th to November 15th, and Mathias SENSION was to assist Thomas SANFORD in herding them. Thomas was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, March 9,1636/37, in Dorchester, MA. Thomas SANFORD removed to Milford, CT, and the birth in January 1641, of his daughter Mary is recorded in the annals of the First Church of Milford, which indicates that he was residing there then. He was admitted to the church January 9, 1642 Thomas acquired various tracts of land in Milford and served on town committees. On the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of founding the town the citizens of Milford erected a stone bridge over the stream, which had formerly been difficult to cross when entering the town. This bridge built in 1889, in memory of the founders, contains heavy stones on the battlements in which the names of the pioneers are cut. The memorial inscription to Thomas SANFORD follows: Thomas Sanford Obit 1681 Sarah His Wife Died, in October, 1681, in Milford, CT. His will made September 23, 1681, and his estate was valued upon appraisal, October 21, 1681, at L450 18s. 3d.

Notes for William Potter: William Potter, Savage says of Watertown, Mass., probably came in the Abigail from London, in 1635, aged 27, with wife Frances, aged 26, and child Joseph, aged twenty weeks. He removed to New Haven and with his brother John signed the agreement in general town meeting, 1639. "In 1643 brother Potter was fined one shilling for coming late last trayining day," and again was fined for defective arms. He took the oath of allegiance with others in 1644. In 1645 Brother Potter (William) made an offer "to carry every man's grist from their howes to the mill & bring it back againe to their howes for 2d pr. bushell." His name appears in the seating of the meeting house in 1646, and in 1647 he was one of the Fence viewers for the farms this side of East River. In Oct. 5, 1647, it is recorded, that Mr. Evance hath sold to Wm. Potter 27 and a half acres of meadow as it cometh to him in the towne books, and lyeth in the east meadows between Mr. Crayne and Bro. Punderson and 32 acres of upland. He was one of the appraisers on the estate of Richard Mansfield in1656. His home lott was on the west side of the Quinipiac River, near the present Cedar Hill railroad station. His will was made May 19, 1662, and is as follows: "William Potter disposes of his estate of outward things as followeth. After all Debts discharged my will is that my wife should have her living out of the farms till my Sonne Nathanll, come to ye age of 21years, then ye sd. Nathaniell is to possess ye sd. farms and all yt is upon it, if my wife continue a widdow my will is yt my Sonne Nathanll allow her a comfortable Living out of the same and if shee see cause to Dwell elsewhere my will is yt my sonne Nathaniell allow her 12th a yeare. - it: my will is yt my sonne Joseph should have 30th. payd him within yt term of six years after ye date hereof. - it: my will is yt my daughter Hope and my daughter Rebeckah shall have 20th. apiece payd ym when their mother sees good to pay it them.

Potters, 1639., by James Shepard, of New Britain, Conn., Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1983 © Broderbund Software, Inc.] from Submitted by Joyce Lee Wiggins Kaufman of Dallas, Texas: William POTTER arrived at Boston aboard the "Abigail" from London in July of 1635. Traveling with William were his wife, Frances CHILDS?, and his 20 week old son Joseph. William's Mother (Hannah POTTER BEECHER), step-father (John BEECHER), and brother (John POTTER) followed William to America two years later. They were part of the company that arrived aboard the "Hector" that included the very prominent Puritans Rev. John DAVENPORT and Theophilus EATON. The party had intended to settle within the Massachusetts Colony, but upon their arrival, decided to found a new colony elsewhere because of what they perceived to be a tainted religious climate in Boston. The families made arrangements for temporary housing in Boston while a site was being selected. The BEECHERS and John POTTER probably moved in with William and his family during this period. Shortly before the arrival of the "Hector", an army from the Massachusetts Colony had raided and slaughtered the Pequot Indians at their village of Quinnipiac on Long Island. The returning soldiers told stories of an abundant land and a favorable harbor. Hearing the glowing reports, Rev. DAVENPORT dispatched Rev. EATON with a party to explore the area. The party included John BEECHER, William's step-father. They arrived in the Quinnipiac area in early autumn and found it quite suitable for the establishment of a colony. Fearing the approach of winter, however, EATON thought it prudent to delay attempting the establishment until the following spring. He decided to leave seven men to winter at Quinnipiac, further explore the area, and to prepare for the arrival of the main colony. John BEECHER was one of the seven men left behind. He died sometime during that winter and was buried in an unmarked grave. The colony that became established the following spring was New Haven Colony. John BEECHER'S remains were discovered some years later while digging a cellar. William POTTER, his family, Hannah (his mother), John POTTER, and Isaac BEECHER (John BEECHER'S son) all removed from Boston to New Haven. They may have went with the original settlers in that spring of 1638 but that cannot be established. They were definitely there by 1639, however, because both William and John POTTER signed the New Haven Agreement in a general town meeting that year. Early New Haven records indicate that William's life was a 'good news - bad news' scenario. On the one hand his seating assignments in the church indicate that he progressed in the standing. On the other hand he was frequently fined for offenses ranging from absence at military training, improper care of arms, to failure to submit a timely inventory for taxation. In 1659 Hannah POTTER BEECHER died and appointed William executor of her will. She left 2/3 of her estate to William and 1/3 to Isaac BEECHER. She requested that William 'be as a father to his younger brother and his children.' In 1662 records from the Court of Magistrates, New Haven Jurisdiction reveal, "William POTTER was called before ye court to answer to wt charge or accusation as they understand from examination is layd against him, viz that he hath committed ye sin of bestiality wth sundrie creatures." William apparently denied the charges, "The Governr told him, that first he must mind him of his carriage before ye magistrates when he was examined, that when you heard wt your wife & son testified to your face, yet you was not affected as you should have beene, whether true or false, but stood in a stupid way, making denial of wt was testified". The court decided that "yt if he was guilty God would bring it forth to light, & soe wth as much solemnes as they could, left it with him & alsoe with Mr. GILBERT to game any further discovery as he could". It appears that this Mr. GILBERT and his further 'examination' produced the desired confession, "God hath brought it forth out of his owne mouth; and seeing the church hath done their duty, which they well approved of, they as minister of lustice call him to account". William made his will on 19 May 1662. And so it was that on 6 June 1662, the town paid Thomas WHEADON to hang his former friend William POTTER.

Nathaniel applied for land at Elizabethtown, NJ in 1664 but probably died at Jamaica. from "Richard Denton" by: Irena Marion Denton Wooton (11th Generation Denton in America) © 1978, 1987, 1991, 1997: Nathaniel Denton (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather) was born about 1628 in Bolton, Yorkshire, England as church records show his Baptism as March 9, 1628 or 29. About 1652, Nathaniel married Sarah Smith daughter of William and Magdalen (?) Smith and sister of Thomas Smith. An interesting note on these two families: Nathaniel's niece, Hannah, daughter of his brother Daniel married Sarah's nephew Samuel who was Thomas' son. Since Nathaniel's brother, Samuel, also married a Smith girl (John's daughter), it could very well be that the two girls were cousins though I find no proof of this. However, names in Wills of these families indicate this to be highly possible and probable. Nathaniel in 1656 with his brother Daniel was another of the earliest settlers of Jamaica, L.I. and was also one of the grantees in the October 28, 1664 land agreement at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, the "Elizabethtown Grant" or patent. Nathaniel sold his holdings in this patent to John Ogden in 1665. Hempstead Town Records show that on September 13, 1665, Nathaniel's brother Samuel sold to John Ogden "one brown stere cropt in ye of ears aged 2 years". This, I believe, translates to "one brown steer two years old with a nick in its ear" which was Samuel's "brand" and is mentioned only because Mr. Ogden's name again appears, also the language of that era is interesting to say the least. Nathaniel was a "Patentee" in Jamaica, also, in 1665 and 1686 so was, obviously, among the affluent landowners of the day. Children born to Nathaniel and Sarah were Nathaniel, Jr., Samuel, Richard (my progenitor), Maria and Phebe. Nathaniel died October 18, 1690 and, like his brothers, left no will. Sarah was born about 1634 but I have found no date of death listed for her as of this writing.

Notes for William Rogers: William Rogers of Long Island -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to records at the Shakespeare Birthplace, he lived and may have been born in "Harvard House" which was built by Thomas Rogers, his grandfather in 1595. William is believed to have come to the Colonies in 1635. There is considerable dispute over whether or not Thomas Rogers, passenger on the Mayflower, was William's father. Thomas died in the first winter after the Mayflower arrived. William came in the barque Phillip in June 1635. He was voted to be a freeman on 6 Mar 1649. From The American Genealogist, Vol 10, No 1, July 1933: With the discovery of William Bradford's list of the passengers on the "Mayflower" many genealogical controversies were stilled but many others were aroused by the governor's brevity and his indefinite statements. When, for instance, he wrote that Thomas Rogers was accompanied by only one son, Joseph Rogers, on the memorable voyage, but that the rest of Thomas' children came over later, married and had many children, he excited many claims that immigrants of the name of Rogers were the unnamed children of the Pilgrim father. One of the most persistently advanced of these pretensions to "Mayflower" ancestry has been based on an attribution of William Rogers of Long Island as one of the missing children of Thomas Rogers. Largely through the efforts of the late J. H. Drummond one of the missing children has been identified in John Rogers of Duxbury, Mass., but no satisfactory proof has been advanced for the parentage of William Rogers. The late Mrs. A. A. Haxtun in her "Signers of the Mavflower Compact" stated that "Harwich Records say 'William, son of the first Thomas, settled in Huntington, Long Island,' " and that: "From Cape Cod the 'record', 'Thomas came in the Mayflower with son Joseph, other children, including John and William coming afterward. In the course of ten years' experience as Historian of the New York Society of Mayflower Descendants the writer has frequently seen claims based upon descent from William Rogers as a son of Thomast Rogers, asserting that probate proceedings, church records, and other material substantiated this connection, but an extended investigation of all these clues, including those offered by Mrs. Haxtun, has resulted in complete failure to locate proper authorities. In view of this situation, and considering the somewhat large group of descendants of William Rogers, these notes, which appear to settle the question of his ancestry, are presented. The facts relating to William Rogers' life in this country are few. He first appeared at Wethersfield, Conn., where he owned five pieces of land before a general registration in 1640, these plots all adjoining pieces owned by Thomas Wicks (Wickes, Wilkes), to whom he is generally believed to have been related. Possibly Rogers belonged to the company of Rev. Richard Denton, as is sometimes stated, but he was not in the original group which went from Wethersfield to found a settlement at Toquams (Rippowams) (Stamford), Conn., in 164I. Denton's followers to Stamford included Thomas Wicks and Jonas Wood, both later associated again with William Rogers. Rogers is not again noticed until 1644, when he is found at Southampton, Long Island. He was one of the earliest settlers there and was probably there before 1644. Howell says he was there in 1642. He had a house on the main street in 1648 which the family continued to own for seven generations. He was a freeman at Southampton on March 6, 1649, and can be found in that town until 1655, although he appears to have lived for a few years previous to 1649 in Hempstead. After 1655 his son Obadiah Rogers, is found occupying the house that William had in Southampton. It is generally assumed that William turned his home over to his son Obadiah and removed to Huntington with the remainder of his family. On July 30, 1656, the Matinecock Sachem and other Indians deeded to William Rogers, Jonas Wood, and Thomas Wilkes the land needed for the settlement of Huntington, Long Island. This is the last mention of William Rogers on the records. There is no will nor settlement of estate, and nothing to show the date of his death except that the "Widow Rogers" appears in a deed in 1667. She is mentioned from time to time in the records until her will, made on November 22, 1669, was proved February, I670. This will shows the widow's Christian name to have been Ann. She has frequently been suggested as a daughter of Edmund Sherman, but the original source of this theory is unknown and the attribution lacks proof and is probably incorrect, as will appear. It is possible that the widow Ann Rogers married George Wood, after the death of William' Rogers, as there is a record of Ralph Hall and his wife Mary having been charged with witchcraft in causing the death of George Wood, an infant child of Ann Rogers, called the widow of George Wood. If she married Wood and moved to Setauket, as is asserted, her married life with him was probably a very brief one and, after Wood's death, she was generally known by her former name of Rogers. Under this name she made her will. The will of Ann Rogers of Huntington mentions her children as Obadiah, John, Noah, Hannah and Mary. She also refers to her "son Samuel," but probably Samuel was a son-in-law, perhaps Samuel Messenger, to whom Ann Rogers granted land in 1669. Another son. Jonathan, is known although not mentioned in his mother's will. Noah Rogers calls him brother in a deed in 1699. The information available about these children is given briefly and the order of birth being uncertain: I. Obadiah2 Rogers, who is called the eldest in his mother's will. He married Mary , probably sister of William Russell of Southampton, whose will, made in 1678 and proved in 1682, calls Obadiah Rogers a brother. Obadiah2 Rogers' will was made July 24,1689, and proved June 23, I692, mentioning his widow Mary and seven children, one daughter being then deceased. Obadiah' Rogers continued to live at Southampton after his parents had moved to Huntington. The town records contain several references to him. 2. Jonathan2 Rogers. Born about 1637. Died in 1707 at Huntington. Married Rebecca and had children. Admitted freeman at Huntington, May I2, I664. Served as rate gatherer, fence viewer, and overseer at Huntington, and operated a sawmill and grist mill at Cold Spring. He owned a piece of land in common with Samuel Titus, sometimes suggested as a son-in-law of Ann Rogers. 3. John2 Rogers stated in a deposition made September, 1676, that he was then thirty-six years old, hence born in 1640. He was a fence viewer and overseer at Huntington and was admitted freeman there Mav I2, 1664. He removed to Branford, Conn., where he died without issue. 4. Noah2 Rogers married April 8, 1673 Elizabeth Taintor. She was born on 22 June 1655 and died in 1732. He died at Branford, Conn., October 8, 1725. In 1699 he disposed of holdings in Huntington, listing himself "of Branford." He was made freeman May 11, I662, and was deputy from Branford in 1704. 5. Samuel2 Rogers. 6. Mary2 Rogers. 7. Hannah2 Rogers. In searching for the ancestry of this family of Rogers attention was attracted to the town of Stratford-on-Avon. county Warwick, a place known by name to everyone. The available printed records of that community give entries which supply a family closely resembling the Rogers group of Long Island. On February 7, I6I2/13, William Rogers, son of Thomas Rogers, was baptized. On February 2, 1630/1, William Rogers married Anna Hale. On March 7, I63I/2, was baptized Anna, daughter of William Rogers. On September 29 1633, was baptized a son Obadiah and on September 4, 1636, a son Jonathan, both sons of William Rogers. When Jonas Wood, Thomas Wickes (Wilkes) and William negotiated the "Eastern purchase" in 1656 they paid "2 coates, fore shertes, seven quarts of licker and aleven ounces of powther." The purchase included all the land from Cow Harbor Brook (the brook at the head of Northport Harbor which was the eastern boundary of the Huntington land purchase of 1653) east to the Nissequogue River, south to Old Country Road and north to Long Island Sound. Just how this beautiful piece of property was apportioned among the three men may appear in the early town files but is not mentioned in the published records. A small booklet published by the Huntington Historical Society which describes a walking tour around the part of the present park originally known as the "TOWN SPOT" states the following: "The ARSENAL (1747-8) The house stands on a sub-divided lot which originally formed the the north corner of the home lot of William Rogers (1) who lived here from 1653 to 1664 in a house which stood a few feet away from what is now 427 Park Avenue. On the southwest corner of Park and So. Woodhull was the tannery (ca 1740). "This property was originally the homelot of Noah Rogers (2), who lived here from 1653 until 1669. He sold it to Thomas Wickes Jr. whose family used it as a pasture." (This transaction was witnessed by one Joseph Rogers,) Possibly the property listed below described the farm where William and Ann lived later. In Volume I of the Huntington Town Records p, 139 is the following entry: /Deed Ann nogers to Samuel Messenger/ 1669 Aug 9/ Ann Rogers sells land .... "all my Rite Title I intrust in and to my accomodation situate & Being in Huntington as housing, barn, outhousing, orchard, garden, trees home lot frame for a house already hewn .... bounded by lot of Thomas Wicks on ye north side, Noah Rogers on ye south side, Thomas Jones on ye west side and ye Rear ye woods in Commonadge ....

Anne Rogers, born Abt. 1647. 618. Thomas Wickes, born 1612 in England; died March 19, 1670/71 in Huntington, Suffolk Co., New York. He was the son of 1236. Edward Wilks and 1237. Katherine Rogers. He married 619. Isabela Harcourt Abt. 1646. 619. Isabela Harcourt Notes for Thomas Wickes: TAG #34, Oct 1932, Vol IX, No. 2, pg 79 (partial article by Herbert F. Smith, of Baltimore, MD) Thomas Wickes of Wethersfield, and Stamford, Connecticut, and of Huntington, New York, does not seem to have been related to either of the above. Wickes (generally so called), who was literate, wrote his name in the earliest documents extant in the Huntington Town Records as wilks, consistently. In one instance of record which the writer knows of, the name was misread as Weeks when written Wilks, notwithstanding the fact that the old-fashioned e was written differently than we know it now. The "I" was not dotted and the "l" had been partly obliterated. Moreover, the statement to the effect that he married Isabella, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Potter) Harcourt of Oyster Bay appears to be without foundation, as the said lady was the wife of Thomas Weekes of Oyster Bay, son of Francis and Elizabeth. Wickes, or to give him his proper name, Wilkes, is indicated by investigations now current to have been the son of Edward Wilkes of the suburb of Shottery in Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, by Katheren Rogers his wife, a relative of William Rogers also of Huntington, New York, and close friend of Thomas Wilkes or Wickes. These people were unrelated to George or Francis Weekse, so far as we can ascertain, a fact which seems very definite. Children of Thomas Wickes and Isabela Harcourt are: 309 i. Rebecca Wickes, born Abt. 1646 in Huntington, Suffolk Co., New York; married Jonathan Rogers 1667. ii. Thomas Wickes, born 1650 in Oyster Bay, Suffolk Co., New York; died in Huntington, Suffolk Co., New York; married Deborah Udall. iii. Elizabeth Wickes, born 1654; married John Ketchum Abt. 1688; born 1653 in Southold, Suffolk Co., New York. Notes for John Ketchum: Grantee in the first Nichols patent of Huntington, Nov 30, 1666. Was a representative to the Government of Mass., he removed to Setauket, L.I. in 1648, went to Newtown in 1668, died 1697. In 1665 John Ketcham and Thomas Wickes were Overseers at Huntington. iv. Sarah Wickes, died Aft. 1699; married Thomas Brush Abt. 1680; born Abt. 1651 in Huntington, Suffolk Co., New York; died April 16, 1698 in Amwell, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.

Susan Payne, born August 09, 1623 in England; died Aft. October 03, 1661. She was the daughter of 1242. William Payne and 1243. Hannah Ann ???. Notes for Lt. John B. Ketchum: John Ketcham, christened 8 September 1622 at St. Andrews Church, Cambridge, England, died in Newtown, Queens Co., New York, before 17 May 1696; married about 1646, Susan Payne, daughter of William Payne. John immigrated to Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony, from England. He was "made free at the 2d Session of Salem Cort, the 28: 12 m, 42" on 28 February 1642/1643 at Salem, Massachusetts. In 1646, he purchased several utensils at an auction sale of the estate of Michael Carthrick for 17s at Ipswich. In 1647, he possessed land at Ipswich adjoining on the west a grant to his father-in-law, William Payne. In 1648, he subscribed to Major Denison's Compensation at Ipswich, and he was representative from Ipswich to the Massachusetts Bay General Court at Boston. He immigrated before June 1653 to Hashamomack, (later called Southold), Suffolk Co., New York, where on 4 June 1653, he purchased a house and land for 20 pounds from Steven Goodyear of New Haven. In 1657, he was appraiser of the estate of William Salmon, along with William Wells and Barnabus Wines Sr. He immigrated before 1 December 1659 to Setauket (Brookhaven), Suffolk Co., New York. At a town meeting on 1 December 1659 at Setauket, a "home lot" was made over to John "Chachum." He was granted a six acre lot in the "Old Field" and a four acre lot in Setauket in 1661, the same year he was elected Constable. On 31 July 1663, he was in a court dispute as follows: "Action between William Alburtis pltf and John Citcham defendant. Defendant swears that 'hee to the best of his Memmory he never Gave John alburtis order to winter two swine that was Thomas Martens'" John and Susan Payne sold their place at Southold, New York, to Thomas Moore, Sr., on 29 September 1666. John was named Patentee of Huntington on 30 November 1666. He immigrated in 1668 to Newtown, Queens Co., New York, where he was elected Constable in April 1669. He served as Overseer with Robert Field between April 1672 and August 1673. In 1673, England and Holland declared war on one another, and on 30 July 1673 the Dutch captured the colony at New York City. John was one of two Deputies, along with John Burroughes, sent as representatives of the town of Newtown to the meeting called by Colonial Gov. Richard Nicholls. They presented themselves in the fort at New York to "the lords, commanders, and the noble military council" bearing the Engish colors and a constable's staff in token of the town's submission to the Dutch States General, and petitioned for the uninterrupted enjoyment of their privileges. They were told that they would be allowed the same immunities as subjects of the Dutch nation, and were directed to notify the town of "Middleburg" to nominate six persons, from whom the court would select three for magistrates, and also to appoint two deputies to unite with others of "Rustdorp, Heemstede, Vlissingen, and Oyster Bay," to present three nominess for the office of scout (sheriff), and three for secretary, which latter officers were to have authority over these five named towns to be united in one jurisdiction on 22 August 1673 at New York City. John was selected by the inhabitants as one of the six persons, along with Gershom Moore, Richard Betts, Jonathan Hazard, Ralph Hunt, and John Burroughes, from whom the Dutch court would select three as magistrates. The court selected Betts, Hazard, and Hunt, who were sworn into office in August or September at Newtown, New York. John served as Overseer with Robert Field between November 1674 and 1675 at Newtown, New York, and he was elected town clerk in 1675 at Newtown. John's wife, Susan, died before 1676 at Newtown, Queens Co., New York. John and Bethia Richardson, daughter of John Richardson and Martha Mead obtained a marriage license on 26 February 1676/1677 at New York, and they were married 14 March 1676/1677 at West Farms, Westchester Co., New York. He was taken to court in "Thomas Stevenson v. John Ketcham," under action to recover damages to Stevenson's horse between 5 June 1677 and 6 June 1677. On 17 May 1697 John Ketcham's will was probated and letters of administration granted to widow Bethiah.

Notes for Simon Tuttle: Simon Totill or Towtills of Ringstead, co Northampton, b abt 1560, buried Ringstead, 6/15/1630, married abt 1592, Isabel Wells, b abt 1565, dau of John Wells of Ringstead, who mentioned her in his will, 1618. Symon mentioned in both his father's will and his father in law's', whose will also named all four Tuttle grandsons (or rather, four of five of them, he left out John). Simon Tuttle supervised will of Mathew Harris of Woodford in 1600. His widow accompanied her sons on the Planter in 1635, but probably didn't live long. See Simon Tuttle's will at Sam Casey's web site. Simon Tuttle was a very well -off man with much property and possibly a fair number of sheep. Gene Curtin mentions that the College of Arms was cited as the source for Simon's children by a family historian ordinarily skeptical of noble ancestry claims, from which he infers that Simon Totill had the right to bear a coat of arms. The catalogue of his property from his will reads: land he gave his son Richard, with land, meadows, and commons, and the house and other buildings, where he and his wife live. land, meadows and commons which he bought from Thomas Holding and Edward Asin alias James and of William Sillyman. the dwelling house where Mr. Wrothfall now lives with all the houses that belong to it, and adjoining yard and orchard. John White lived there or held it too, at some point. the meadow which he purchased from Joane Bateman widow, apparently a large meadow, since he divied it up among his family. (William had inherited 20 pounds from his grandfather, John Welles.) a meadow he bought from Eusache Morton and Thomas Ekins. a bedstead adn furniture, a table in the hall with a frame, "framed stools", more than one chimney in his house, good brass pans, a great cubboard, more than two chairs some of them large, a chest by the bed. a malt mill sheep. Half a dozen of them to a specific family member, the others to be divided. one acre of "leyres" which he purchased from Mr. Carier. Could be something to do with the sheep. Atleast thirty-five pounds. Plus 2(xxs) to be given to the church, the poor, etc. John Wells' will indicates that he was atleast as well of, perhaps a bit wealthier, than Simon Tuttle. subsidy rolls indicate that John Wells or Weales, and Simon Totehill or Symon Tootwell, of Rinsteed, were assessed for pieces of armor or equipment and amounts of money, I forget what if anything that is supposed to signify. Children: Richard (see below) William (see below) John (named in Simon's will, possibly the individual below) Thomas (the Thomas I couldn't identify with William b abt 1609 who I didn't know where he went yesterday were Thomas teh son of Simon, and William Tuttle the emigrant - from Jacobus's version. William was not known to be born in 1607, not 1609, until his baptismal record was found at Ringstead.

Notes for Richard Tuttle: Richard Tuttle, who, at the age of forty-two, immigrated with his family on the Planter, which sailed from London to Boston in April 1635.

Beach, Jr. Reprinted from the Beach Family Journal, Vol. II, No. 3 (Fall, 1994) Thomas Beach, the "Pilgrim" ancestor of this line, first finds mention in the records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven for somewhat less than distinguished reasons. As a member of a fledgling settlement in a potentially hostile wilderness, it was expected that he and all other males of suitable age would be ready to defend the town against attack. This meant making sure their firearms - undoubtedly heavy match lock muskets with a stand or "rest" required to steady and aim them - were in good repair. Thus, at "A Court holden April 7th, 1646," it is recorded that: "Thom Beech defective in his rest fyned 6d." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 229, 232 And while it might be hoped that this sire of so many future patriots and pioneers might respond to this admonition and fulfill his civic responsibility, such was not to be. On the contrary, exactly three months later, "At a Court held at Newhaven this 7th July, 1646," it is recorded that: "Ricd Newman, Fran: Browne, Robert Vsher, Wm Bassett & Thom Beech for their defects in their guns, fyned 1s a piece." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 260-261 By the following spring, however, Thomas Beach's relationship with the civil authorities appears to have improved. Thus, by an entry dated March 7, 1647, it is recorded he had then or shortly before taken the "Oath of Fidelity" and joined in the "Fundamental Agreement" or "Covenant," by which the Scriptures were made the basis for both civil and church law in the New Haven colony, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 139. In so doing Thomas Beach, like his brothers Richard and John before him, was admitted as a "planter" and made a "freeman" - one entitled to the privileges of corporate citizenship and not, as has been erroneously assumed, indicative of a prior state of bound servitude It is claimed by some, on the basis of unknown evidence, that Thomas Beach was, as of this time, "... a young man in 1648 and unmarried and resided with his brother Richard, who lived at the corner of Meadow and Whiting Streets and that his brother John then lived on the adjoining lot," Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 12. He does not appear further in the early New Haven records, however, until March 1, 1652, when he is mentioned in the transcript of a trial involving one Bishop, accused of mistreating his servant, Samuel Andrews. Among other allegations, Bishop was claimed to have forced Andrews to go barefoot in cold weather, with the result that the young man soon developed painful frostbite. Andrews ran away to the home of Mistress Evans, who sought to provide for his needs. Thus: "Samuel Lamb, servant to Mris. Evanc, aged about sixteen years, testifyeth vpon oath that his Mris. sent him wth Sam. Andrews, when he dwelt at Goodman Bishops, to Thomas Beech his for a pare of shooes for Sam. Andrews,..." Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 166 This establishes Thomas Beach's trade as that of a cobbler and not, as some have stated, a blacksmith, See: e.g., Elmer Taylor Beach, Beach In America, p. 43. Also in 1652 Thomas Beach married Sarah Platt, the daughter of Deacon Richard and Mary (Wood) Platt, of Milford, Connecticut, Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 12. She was born at Ware, Hertfordshire, England, and baptized there on September 11, 1635, Abbott, Families of Early Milford, Connecticut, pp. 547-548. Some sources give the date and month of the marriage as September 25th, but the basis for this is uncertain, James, The Ancestry and Posterity of Obil Beach, p. 43. Miss Helen Beach, one of the authors of The Descendants of Thomas Beach of Milford, Connecticut, claimed that the ceremony took place in Milford, but no evidence for this has yet been found. It is clear, however, that the couple resided in New Haven for the two years following their marriage, where their first child, Sarah, was born March 1, 1653/54. In this regard it should also be noted that at least one source has confused the date of Thomas Beach's marriage with the date of daughter Sarah's birth, American Historical Society, Encyclopedia of Biography - Connecticut, Vol. III, p. 91. The next record which has been preserved concerning Thomas Beach is not only the most extensive, but also the most interesting since it concerns an altercation and subsequent litigation between him and one Edward Camp. At a term of the New Haven court held on November 2, 1652, it is stated that: "Thomas Beech declareth that he went to Richard Sperries farme vpon some occasion betwixt his brother Richard Beech and himselfe, and found their Edward Camp, Ralph Lines, and Richard Beech: it seemes they were talking of him when he came in, for Edw: Camp said when he saw him, here hee comes; Edward Camp said to Thomas Beech that the message he bid his brother Richard doe to him was false, and said he you said you have something else to saye to me, therefore speake now, but Thom: Beech refused; Edwa: Camp urged him to speake but Thom: Beech would not, but said to Edward Camp, doe you hold yor tongue, I will not speake; then Edwa: Camp rose vp from the place where he satt, came to him and knitt his fist and threatened him, and he thought he would haue beate him, saying shall you teach me to speake; after this he went out to goe hom, and when hee was aboute three quarters of a mile from ye farme homeward Edward Camp ouertooke him, and threw him downe, and fell vpon him wth his cudgell, and beate him verey much, and said I will haue you know you rogue you shall not teach mee to speake; ye impression of the blowes were apparrently seene as ye Gouernor testifyed, Thom: Beech hauing showed him his arme, and the effeccts of them he found in his body, being sore beatten aboute ye backe. Edward Camp was bidden to speake for himselfe. He said hee desired Thom: Beech to produce his proofe: he was asked if he denyed it; he said Thomas Beech hath charged him, and let him prove it, and that is all he shall say. Wherevpon Ralph Lines, Richard Beech, and Rich: Sperry all testified that there was a quarrelling betwixt them in the house, and that after Thom: Beech was gone, Edward Camp eate some victuall and went out, saying he would goe fetch his gune wch he had left in the woods; but that Edward Camp beate him they cannot testifye. The Gouernor told Edward Camp & informed the Court that this case is like the case of a rape, spoken of Deut. 22, there is no witnes onely the testimoney of the maid and the effects found vpon her; the damsell cryed and there was none to saue her; then none but herselfe to testifye, yet that was accepted; it is as when a man riseth vp against his neighbour; so in this case, there is no other witnes but the parties wronged; he testfies the thing and offers to affirme it vpon oath, showes the print of the stroakes given him: and the partie charged cannot cleere himselfe by any contrary affirmation; nor (if that were permitted) dares he deny the fact vpon oath; but when the Gouernor was aboute to prepare Thom: Beech for his oath, by shewing him the danger of perjury in such a case, Ralph Lines spake privately to Edward Camp, wherevpon Ed Camp said he did not desire Thom: Beech to take oath. The Gouernor tould him if he would confess the thing it might be spared, but if he put him to it, and knowes himselfe guilty, the oath will be required at his hand; it were better for him if he did it, to confess it was in a passion and show his sorrow for it; Edward Camp said it was so; he did it in a passion, but it was but wth a small sticke that he strucke him wth, that he thought would not hurt him. Thomas Beech was asked what he demanded for damage; he said he left it to the Court, but he thinkes it hindered him five shillings in his labour, and the Court charges and time spent in runing aboute; wherevpon the Court by way of sentence Ordered that Edward Camp paye to Thomas Beech (all his charges being included) twenty shillings, and that he paye also to the Towne for disturbing the peace twenty shillings, but he was told had he not by a seasonable confession somewhat mittigated the sentence, the fine would haue bine higher, and he must haue bine bound to the peace; that such as are apt to abuse their strength might be warned, and others traueling alone in ye woods the better secured:/" Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, pp. 151-153 This record is significant since it establishes, by Thomas Beach's own declaration, his relationship to his brother, Richard Beach. From the perspective of those claiming descent from Thomas Beach it is equally, if not more interesting as an all-too-rare glimpse into the life and times of an otherwise distant and enigmatic ancestor. It would be a mistake, however, to believe that the miscreant Edward Camp was brought so readily to justice. On the contrary, at a session of court held on December 7, 1652: "Thomas Beech desired execution for twenty shillings that Edward Camp was by this Court ordered to paye him, but refuseth; wch the Court would have granted, but Mr Goodyeare promised Thomas Beech to paye him twenty shillings, wth wch he was satisfied:/" Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, pp. 155-156 The next reference to Thomas Beach is that which records the birth of "Sarah Beech the Daughter of Thom. Beech... the firft of March 1653/54," Vital Records of New Haven, 1649-1850, Part 1, p. 10. Within the next seven months, however, Thomas Beach, his wife and infant daughter would depart New Haven for Milford, some eight miles to the west. Thus, the old New Haven records contain this final mention of Thomas Beach, dated October 3, 1654: "Francis Browne was complained of for absence at Trayning also. It was answered that he was carying away Thom: Beech to Milford." Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 222 Given the sorry state of the roads at this time, at least one author has speculated that the family's journey was "probably by water," Jacobus, Mary (Royce) Beach, p. 9. Indeed, the old New Haven records contain other entries which indicate that Francis Brown operated a ferry. In any event it should be noted that this record, perhaps unknown to earlier historians, contradicts claims that Thomas Beach was not in Milford until several years later, See: Savage, Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. 1, p. 144 ["Thomas, Milford, 1658"]; Hibbard, History of the Town of Goshen, Connecticut, p. 421 ["settled in M. 1657-58"]; Virkus, Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol. IV, p. 732 ["at Milford, 1658"]. Thomas Beach's relocation to Milford was undoubtedly motivated by several considerations. For one thing it would mean his wife and child might now be nearer to Deacon Richard Platt and his family. For another, the Milford town records for 1654 reveal the grant to: "Thomas Beach, lately of New Haven, an acre of land to build a house [on the] condition that he doe sett up and follow his trade." Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 12 From the probate of his estate it is learned such a house was indeed built, "with round stones," in that part of Milford called Old Main Street, Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 12; Vol. III, No. 1, p. 236. It was here that the remainder of Thomas Beach's children were born and where he at last died, in early 1662. According to one source his death came on March 1st, but this is suspect; the same month and day also being erroneously given by the same source for his marriage, American Historical Society, Encyclopedia of Biography - Connecticut, Vol. III, p. 147. Note should also be taken of the error made by Hibbard, History of the Town of Goshen, Connecticut, p. 421, which asserts Thomas Beach died in 1677, even though his widow, Sarah (Platt) Beach, is known to have remarried Miles Merwin in 1665. The place of Thomas Beach's burial is unknown. His estate was the first administered at Milford, with the initial inventory having been filed on May 31, 1662. Subsequent probate records indicate the following: "13 June 1666. Inventory of ye estate of Thomas Beach, late of Milford, deceased, exhibited a house and land included and prized at Thirty pounds, reserved for ye benefit of the children of ye sd Beach and securitie given for ye said Thirty pounds by Miles Murwin.

Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 1, p. 236, citing County Court Records of New Haven, Vol. I, pp. 6, 81. See also: The Ancestry and Posterity of Obil Beach, pp. 44-45 The Court thereupon approved the sale of the house, appointed Deacon Richard Platt as administrator, and declared that "ye thirty pounds (it being the fruit of the bounty & love of the grandfather) to be equally distributed to the four children when they shall come to lawful age." Sarah (Platt) Beach was admitted to full communion in the First Congregational Church of Milford on May 3, 1663. The following year, on September 4, 1664, she caused at least two, if not all of her children by her late husband to be baptized. She remarried, as noted, Miles Merwin in 1665, bore him four daughters, and died on March 15, 1670. ISSUE: i. SARAH, b. Mar 1, 1653/54; bpt. Sep 4, 1664; d.c. 1690; m.

JOHN BEACH1 OF NEW HAVEN A Biography By Eugene H. Beach, Jr. Reprinted from the Beach Family Journal, Vol. II, No. 2, Summer, 1994. John Beach, the "Immigrant" or "Pilgrim", first finds mention in the records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven in 1643. His life prior to that time is largely a mystery, although several claims have been made over the years concerning his date of birth and parentage. One source asserts he was born in 1623, "son of Rev. John, of Derbyshire.", Virkus, Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol. IV, p. 732. Charles C. McClaughry, author of Genealogy of the Beach Family of Connecticut, states at pages 34 and 36 of that John Beach was "Born 1620" and "Died 1681"; however, the latter is demonstrably wrong and the former is without any known basis. Mahlon W. Beach, in his Beach In Canada, p. 49, declares he "... was born presumably in 1619", but the authority for this is not given. According to the Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 8, "Those who claim descent from Benjamin(2) John(1) say that our John was born in England in 1623. Others claim that he was born in 1620 but as no record has been found in England it seems the date of birth is mere conjecture unless it can be based on evidence not yet discovered by the writer"; a conclusion with which few can disagree. For a further discussion of his alleged parentage, See: E. Beach, "Beach of New Haven", Beach Family Journal, Vol. I, No. 2, pp. 31-37; Vol. I, No. 3, pp. 50-60. The question of John Beach's relationship to the other Beaches of early New Haven has likewise been the subject of some speculation. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. I, p. 144, suggests he was "s. of Richard, of New Haven, if he were not br. as seems prob." On the other hand, R. R. Hinman, A Catalogue of the Names of the Early Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut, opines he was the son of Thomas Beach1, brother of Richard1. Finally, Deacon Lewis M. Norton was of the belief that John Beach1 and a supposed brother, Benjamin Beach [actually the son of Richard1], were entirely unrelated to Richard Beach1 and/or his brother, Thomas Beach1. Even the currently held view - that Richard, John and Thomas were all three brothers - is not without its critics who point to the lack of any "hard" evidence for such a relationship. Thus, while Thomas Beach1 is on record as the brother of Richard Beach1, no similar documentary proof exists as to the relationship of John Beach1 to either. Still, the circumstantial case for such a relationship is strong. Both John Beach1 and Thomas Beach1 had sons named for each other, and each likewise had daughters named Sarah. John Beach1 and Richard Beach1 each had sons named Benjamin, and all three had daughters named Mary. When Richard Beach1 became administrator of the estate of his cousin, William Iles, John Beach1 agreed to act as his surety. Both Richard and John Beach likewise moved to Stratford, Connecticut, within a short time of each other. Finally, when John Beach2, eldest son of Thomas1 , was left an orphan after 1670, he either went or was sent to Wallingford, Connecticut, where his uncle John Beach1 and several of his children resided or else owned property at various times. Almost without exception, the published accounts date John Beach's initial appearance in the New Haven town records as January 4, 1643, when he was fined for defects in his gun and "twice late coming" to milita training, e.g., Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 8; Mahlon W. Beach, Beach In Canada, p. 49; Joseph P. Beach, A Brief of the Early Pilgrims of the Beach Family ["In the year 1643 John Beach is first mentioned... where he is fined for a defective gun.'] What all such authorities fail to consider, however, is the fact that, under the Julian calendar then in effect, the New Year began on March 25. This meant that January, February and March 1 through 24 comprised the last part of the year, rather than its beginning. For a more complete discussion of the differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars, See: e.g., Doane, Searching for Your Ancestors, pp. 138-142. Thus, the first true record of John Beach in New Haven is the entry usually regarded as the second mention, i.e., at "A Court held... the 7th of the 4th Moneth, 1643." Since March was considered the "First month" - notwithstanding the fact New Year's day was March 25th - this entry translates into June 7, 1643; not April 7 as the Beach Family Magazine and other published accounts erroneously report.[See: end note 1] What then of this initial record itself? For one whose descendants include a goodly number of notable judges and attorneys it is, appropriately enough, the transcript of a civil trial in which John Beach found himself the defendant, accused of negligence in the felling of a tree so as to cause the death of a cow belonging to one George Smith. Thus: "Joh. Beach, haveing killed a cow of George Smyths wth the falling of a tree, the said George required satisfactio., forasmuch as he conceiveth thatt the said John did itt through negligence, butt he the said John Beach alleadged for himselfe, thatt he did nott doe itt negligently, for he being falling a tree, there came some cowes about him, and the tree in falling did rest vpon the bowes of another tree that stoode neare, and then he left the tree, and drave away the cowes as he did conceive wthout the reach of the tree, and in the meane time some goates coming vnder the tree he retourned to drive them away allso, and then came in haste to give 3 or 4 chops att the tree to hasten the falling of itt before the cattell could come againe. Butt it was testifyed by brother Andrewes and brother Tompson (who were intreated to veiw the cow and the place,) thatt he had nott done whatt in reason he might, and ought to have done to prserve the cattell, and thatt if he had been as carefull as he might, no hurt need have be done, for the place was so hemmed in wth fallen trees as thatt there was little way open, (on thatt side wch he said he drave the cowes) for them to come in att againe, so thatt he might have kept them from danger if he had beene as carefull as he ought to have beene, besides, they affirme thatt the cow was killed about a rod or 20 foote wthin the reach of the tree, moreouer itt was testifyed by brother Andrewes and Robt Campion, thatt he the said John Beach did affirme thatt when he was cutting the tree the last time, he saw the cowes comeing againe, and he did throw sticks att them, butt confessed he did not goe to drive them as before, wch was noted to be a great neglect of him, and allthough he did alleadge in the Court thatt he did drive the cowes wthout the compasse of the fallen trees aforesaid, brother Tompson observed itt to be an vntruth, for he had tolde them att the first, when they went to view the cow, thatt he drave them to such a place, wch both he and brother Andrewes affirme was wthin the aforesaid compasse. Vpon all wch testimony i[t] was ordered thatt the said John Beach shall make good the damage to the vallue of 5L wch price Georg Smyth sett vpon his cow wth much moderatio., though she was really worth more." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, pp. 88-89. In an earlier age this record may well have been viewed as somewhat embarrasing. Indeed, the version quoted in the Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 9, as "furnished by the Rev. E. C. Beach", is highly edited. From today's perspective, however, it should be treasured and appreciated as an all-too-rare glimpse into the "everyday life" of 17th century colonial America. One can readily imagine a young John Beach, attempting to make his start in the New World, setting out to fell a tree, perhaps as timber for a home or else as firewood with which to heat one. Working alone, undoubtedly using the heavy broadax of that day, he succeeds in cutting through the trunk, but the prize does not fall cleanly; its top coming to rest "vpon the bowes of another tree". As if this were not enough, he now finds he must contend with free ranging livestock who, perhaps attracted by the sound of his ax, have wandered into harm's way. First cows, then goats, then cows again must be driven off, with a couple hasty "chops" with the ax in between. Under the circumstances it would not be surprising if a few choice words were hurled at the bothersome kine in addition to the "sticks" which he admitted throwing. All proved in vain, however, as the tree chose an inopportune time to complete its fall, killing George Smith's cow. As it seems likely John Beach had not yet acquired the resources to purchase his own livestock, much less pay the princely sum of 5 pounds as damages for the death of another's, he may be forgiven for attempting to put the events of that late-May/early-June day in the best light possible. The next mention of John Beach in the early New Haven records is that commonly, although erroneously, regarded as the first, i.e., "Att a Court held att Newhaven the 4th of January, 1643," or 1644 under modern Gregorian reckoning. Its significance lies in the fact that the colony perceived itself surrounded by potentially hostile forces; not just Indians, but French to the north, Dutch to the south, and pirates from the sea. Consequently, every adult male was not only expected, but required by law to own a firearm, maintain it in good repair, and report regularly for drill or training. A failure to do so was punished by a significant fine, as the entry itself reveals: "Isaack Whitehead, Will Mecar, Thomas Powell, Tymothy Forde, Goodma. Hitchcock, Rich: Webb, Pillipp Leake, bro: Elsey, Jonathan Marsh, Ricd Beech, John Lawrenson, Robt Emery, Will. Iles, Hen: Gibbons, Tho Robinso., Nicholas Gennings, Tho: Yale, John Hill, bro Lamson, fined each 1s for late coming to trayne. And Rich: Newman, John Beach, and James Stewart fined each man 2s for twice late coming. Richard Newman, Peter Browne, Will Potter, John Beach, Goodma. Ward, John Benham, Isaack Whitehead, Robt Leay, Tho Blakeley, John Medcalfe, bro Lamson, fined each man 2s for defect. guns." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 122. While probably of small consolation to John Beach at the time, the record shows he was certainly not alone in his neglect of military duty. On the contrary, the entry for January 4, 1643/44 continues beyond that quoted above, with fines meted out for "want of shott and pouder", "defect. sworde", "want of match" [the smoldering wick used to fire the guns of that era], "defect. rest" [a rod used to support and steady the heavy match-lock gun], and "totall defect in armes." Moreover, the names on these lists of fines represent a significant percentage of the total male population of New Haven at the time and include several of the town's most prominent citizens. The next reference to John Beach is that of July 1, 1644, at which time he, along with all other freemen, took the so-called "Oath of Fidelity", swearing allegiance to the "fundamentall order and agreemt" adopted in June, 1639, by which the Scriptures were made the supreme law of the colony, Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 139. In view of this oath, not to mention the fines imposed earlier in January, 1643/44, it might be hoped he would henceforth take his civic duties more seriously so as to discharge them more faithfully. As the next reference reveals, however, such was not the case. Instead, at a court held November 4, 1645, it was recorded: "John Beech & Ambrosse Sutton being sent forth by the mr [i.e., master] of the watch to walke the rounde went into a howse & layed them downe to sleepe, & soe neglected their trust, for wch they were fined 5s apeece." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 173. This time, however, the punishment seemingly had the desired effect, for the old records contain no further entries of a similar nature. On the contrary, John Beach apparently managed to escape public notice altogether until February 1, 1647/48, when he agreed to serve as surety for his brother Richard. The three Beach brothers were related in some manner to two other early immigrants to New Haven, William and Thomas Iles (Eyles). When William Iles died, Richard Beach served as his adminstrator and, on February 1, 1647/48, petitioned the New Haven court to "retayne the estate... in his hand till further order." To guarantee the estate would not suffer loss as a result, the Court required Richard Beach to post sercurity equal to its value of 13 pounds, 17 shillings. Since Richard Beach's own lands had a value of only 9 pounds, however, the record reveals: "... and for the other 5L John Beech becometh suretie wth hime, as the said Joh Beech declareth in courte, wch the courte accepted, wth this proviso, that if John Beech should dye or leaue the towne, Richard Beech put in other securitye to the court's satisfaction." Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 364. From this it would seem John Beach had by now himself amassed a respectable estate, sufficient to satisfy the court of his ability to make good a debt of five pounds, had that been necessary. Other records likewise attest to John Beach's success; for example, at a court held March 7, 1647/48, "Arther Halbich passeth ouer to John Beech his house and home lott wth all his accommodations thereto belonging wthin Newhauen", Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 370. See also: Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 9, which quotes an entry for May 21, 1647, not indexed in Hoadly, "Due John Beach from estate of Edward Banister 0-5-11", i.e., five shillings, eleven pence. The next reference to John Beach is somewhat obscure. At a court held November 12, 1649, it is recorded that "Mr. Thomas Yale and John Beech had libbertie to deppte the court", Hoadly, Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven, 1638-1649, p. 499. The word "deppte" is presumably shorthand for and/or an archaic spelling of "depart". Thus, the entry would suggest John Beach and Thomas Yale were excused from attending the proceedings. For what reason, however, is unstated. John Beach next finds mention at a court held December 3, 1650. On that date Thomas Langden stood trial for failing to keep his fences in repair, allowing his livestock to escape and do damage to a neighbor's crop. In his defence "Thomas Langden said Jno Beech his fence was downe also that cattell might come in:..."; an early version of the argument since used by countless school boys and speeding motorists. As the court tersely noted, however, "... he was told all must fare alike:/", Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 52. The final, active mention of John Beach at New Haven is at a court held August 3, 1652: "John Beech passeth ouer to Lancelot Baker his house and home lot wch he the said John bought of Arthur Holbich, lying betwixt the house and home lot of Henry Pecke and William Pecke, and 12 acrs of land of the second devission lying on the west side, wch is all the second devission wch belonged to the lot of Arthur Holbich, be it more or less:/" Dexter, Ancient Town Records, Vol. I, p. 134. Having sold his house and lands, John Beach thereafter left New Haven, although the precise date and place of his relocation is uncertain. Elmer T. Beach, in his Beach In America, p. 41, declares "He lived in New Haven till 1650, when he married Mary, and settled in Wallingford, about seven miles north of New Haven. He lived in Wallingford ten years, and his four older children were born there. In 1660 he removed to Stratford..." This is an impossibility, however, since as noted above, John Beach in fact remained in New Haven until at least 1652 and the town of Wallingford would not be founded until 1669-70. Jacobus, History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, p. 40, says he "rem. to Stratford, 1652". Compare, however, Orcutt, History of the Old Town of Stratford, Connecticut, Vol. I, p. 136, which states: "John Beach,... came to Stratford and bought his first land here May 21, 1660, of Ens. Bryan of Milford, 'one house lot 2 acres.'" [On the other hand, Orcutt, Vol. II, p. 1123, declares "Beach, John, appears first on Stratford records in 1661."] Whatever the exact date of his arrival, however, John Beach thereafter finds mention in the Stratford records on a regular basis, mostly with regard to the grant, purchase or sale of lands. For a listing of such transactions See: Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 4, pp. 319-320, quoting the notes of Joseph P. Beach, an early family historian and himself a descendant of John Beach1. John Beach further find's mention as an 'inhabitant' on the 1668 list of Stratford freemen, which was "... drawn up by the Governor's order, to straighten out church difficulties, and discover voting rights," Rebecca Donaldson Beach, The Reverend John Beach and His Descendants, p. 132, Compare, however, Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 9, which dates this list as 1669. In one often quoted record dated January, 1671: "John Beach was chosen crier for the town; and to be allowed four pence for every thing he cries; that is to say for all sorts of cattle and all other things of smaller value, two pence." Wilcoxen, History of Stratford, Connecticut, 1639-1939, p. 217; Orcutt, History of the Old Town of Stratford, Vol. I, p. 136, but with "years" substituted for "pence". While some interpret this position as that of "town crier" in the sense of night watchman [i.e., "Ten o'clock and all is well!"], the entry, taken as a whole, suggests something more like a public auctioneer for lost or forfeited property, in much the same way a county sheriff today might auction land and chattle seized to satisfy a judgment or fine. It is also during this period that John Beach finds mention as one of the original proprietors of Wallingford, Connecticut. His name is among those signing the covenant for "ye intended Village", thought to date from 1670 or 1671, Davis, History of Wallingford, Connecticut, pp. 77-78; 85-86. It is said, however, that: "He seems to have bought in Wallingford with a view to the settlement of his sons there. John Jr., Isaac and Thomas removed to Wallingford, but the first two died in Stratford... As John Beach senior's estate was administered in Fairfield county probate court, he evidently had not transferred his residence to Wallingford." Davis, History of Wallingford, Connecticut, p. 637. Be this as it may, the Wallingford records, like those at Stratford, reveal a series of real estate transactions, involving grants of land by the town, purchases, trades and sales. It is indicative of his growing wealth and prominence that, in 1672/73, John Beach was assigned the fourth seat of the highest rank in the meeting house, Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 4, pp. 319-320, quoting the notes of Joseph P. Beach. Likewise, when the time came to establish the church in Wallingford, John Beach "Senior" was one of thirteen men chosen "upon the 15th day of the 2nd month [April, in Julian reckoning], 1675", to form the first church at Wallingford, Davis, History of Wallingford, Connecticut, pp. 97-98. At this point, however, a note of caution is in order with respect to references to "John Beach" at Wallingford since, in addition to John1, the immigrant, his son, John2, John1, born in 1654, as well as his nephew, John2, Thomas1, born in 1655, resided and/or owned property there. Both would have been too young to be the man referred to in the early 1670's, but later entries are less clear. Most authorities assume, for example, that "John Beach Senior" invariably refers to John1, the immigrant, with the title "Senior" serving to distinguish him from his son. It must be remembered, however, that the title "Senior" did not have the limited connotation in 17th century usage generally accepted today, i.e., the father of a child of the same name. It was also frequently used to distinguish the older of two men having the same name whether related as father and son, uncle and nephew, cousins, or not at all. See: e.g., Webster's New International Dictionary, 1923, p. 1920 ["senior... 1. Elder; - often used (abbr. Sr.) after a personal name to indicate the older of two in the family or community bearing the name." (italics added)]. Thus, such references might also be to John2, John1, who was slightly older and thus "senior" to his cousin, John2, Thomas1. In contrast, references to "Goodman" John Beach denote a degree of social standing unlikely accorded any but the immigrant John Beach1, at least during his own lifetime. In this regard it is frequently claimed that John Beach1 "... had civilian service at the 'Lower Garrison' in King Phillip's War [1675-1676] and it is recorded of him that he 'was of Stratford and returned thither,'" Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 9, quoting the New Haven Genealogical Magazine, Vol. I, p. 242. Two entries in the Wallingford records, as abstracted in the notes of Joseph P. Beach, appear to form the basis for this claim. The first, dated October 15, 1675, states: "It was granted that those persons that live at the end of the town where Mr. Moss liveth, viz, Mr. Moss, Mr. Brockett, Sergeant Doolittle, John Beach, Senr., Eliasaph Preston and Wm. Elnathan, If they see cause to fortify any of their houses which they can agree upon for their safety in these times of danger, that their first charges shall be defrayed out of ye town treasury." Notes of Joseph P. Beach as quoted in Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 4, p. 320. The following spring, on March 7, 1675 [1676 under the Gregorian calander of today], these same men were granted leave to belong "to the loer garrison", with John Beach described as the "loer guard of the town", Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 4, p. 319. Once again, however, the identity of this "John Beach" is questionable, Compare: Beach Family Magazine, Vol. II, No. 2, p. 156. At the time of this conflict John Beach1, the immigrant, would have been a man in his mid-50's, at least, and unlikely to have seen further military service. Consequently, the reference might instead be to John2 John1, who would be of more appropriate age. This seems all the more likely if, as Davis and others suggest, it was in fact John2 John1 who resided regularly at Wallingford on property owned by John1, who himself continued to reside at Stratford. There is likewise a remarkable degree of confusion over the date of John Beach's death. One source puts it as early as 1667, Wallingford Tercentenary Committee, Founders and Descendants of Wallingford, Connecticut, p. 4. Hibbard, History of the Town of Goshen, Connecticut, states that he died in 1679, while McClaughry, Genealogy of the Beach Family of Connecticut, p. 36, claims he died in 1681. Finally, Rebecca Donaldson Beach, in The Reverend John Beach and His Descendants, p. 132, suggests he lived until at least 1699 when a John Beach [actually John2, John1] appears on a list of Stratford proprietors. It is now known, however, that John Beach died June 16, 1677, Jacobus, History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, p. 40; Beach Family Magazine, Vol. II, No. 2, p. 156. His estate was probated in the Court at Fairfield, Connecticut, and includes a written agreement by his adult children, dated November 6, 1677, for the division of his assets. This declares that: "Whereas our honored father John Beach dying very suddenly did also dye Intestate [i.e., without a will]: we his children to prevent any after Trouble: and for the good and benefit of our brethern and sisters not yet come to age have come to this agreement..." Beach Family Magazine, Vol. III, No. 2, p. 258, quoting Fairfield, Connecticut, Probate Records, Vol. 3, p. 21. The agreement thereafter gives the names and birth dates of the ten children of John Beach; provides for the appointment of guardians for the six children still under age; and sets forth the portion or share of the estate - with a net value of 344 pounds, 5 shillings and 6 pence - each child would receive. In addition to his land holdings in both Stratford and Wallingford, which were considerable, the estate also included such personalty as "Waring apparrle, 9-8-0; 1 bible & other books, 0-7-0; Bedding, linnen, etc; 5 new chairs and 4 old chayrs; 4 Chests;... yarn and spinning wheels & a woollen wheele wool Cards,... armes & Ammunition..." Little has been said to this point concerning the marriage of John Beach or the identity of his wife. Since his first child, Elizabeth, was born in March, 1652, it is generally agreed he married circa 1650. At the birth of his son Benjamin, in 1674, the name of his spouse is given as Mary, Jacobus, History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, p. 41. With respect to her maiden name and origins, however, there is once more much confusion. McClaughry, Genealogy of the Beach Family of Connecticut, p. 36, declares John Beach "was married in 1650 (about) to Mary (?) a Danish lady." The so-called "Anjou Typescript" [reprinted in Beach Family Journal, Vol. I, No. 4, pp. 85-94], states he married June 3, 1651, Elizabeth Peck, daughter of Nathaniel Peck. Savage, however, in his Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. I, p. 144, claims he "m. a d. of Thomas Staples, of Fairfield," a view shared by Deacon Lewis Norton in his notes on early Beach history, Beach Family Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 9. This, in turn, has led most genealogists since that time [with the significant exclusion, however, of Jacobus] to identify the wife of John Beach as "Mary Staples", supposed daughter of Thomas Staples of Fairfield. It is unclear, however, whether Staples - himself a contemporary of John Beach - would have had a daughter old enough to have married circa 1650. Even more compelling, however, is the fact John Beach2, John1 is on record as marrying first, at Stratford, Hannah Staples of Fairfield, the daughter of Thomas Staples. Had John Beach1 likewise married a daughter of Thomas Staples, then John Beach2 John1 would have wed his own mother's sister, i.e., his aunt. Since this is clearly impossible, the identity of John Beach's wife must remain an open question unless and until new information is forthcoming. Whomever she was, however, she is not mentioned in the administration of her husband's estate and is therefore believed to have died prior to 1677, possibly soon after the birth of Benjamin in 1674.

Notes for Ezekiel Sanford: Ezekiel Sanford was baptized at Much Hadham, Herts, England on 20 Feb 1586-86 as the eldest son of Thomas and Mary Sanford. He married Rose Warner in Hatfield. The town, modernly called Hatfield Broad Oak, is about six miles southeast of Much Hadham, over the county line into the shire of Essex. The records of baptisms, marriages and burials in this parish have been lost, prior to 1662, depriving all of the exact date of his marriage and the baptisms of his two eldest sons, Thomas and John, born between 1607 and 1612. It is unknown what his trade or occupation was.

Two daughters were named in the will of her father, Rose and Elizabeth. Her father, John Warner was a real yeoman of England. A yeoman meant a man who owned land, a freeholder, and who lived upon that land and who tilled it. The lands he owned were not extensive; a few closes, or fields, or from two to six acres each, divided by hedges, comprised his holdings. He was in average circumstances, neither affluent nor poor. Hatfield Broad Oak was ever a country village. Her brother, Andrew Warner, (was the uncle who) accompanied her sons, Thomas and Andrew to America.

More About Dorothy Meadows: Ancestral File Number: 16HS-7JS42 Burial: 1640, Dorchester, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts42 Notes for Thomas Andrew Sanford: Thomas Sanford (1-1) first appeared in the Town Records of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Dorchester was settled in 1630, but no lands were allotted until 3 April 1633. It is now a part of Boston and called South Boston and Dorchester. The town records begin 16 Jan 1632. The first settlers were prior to 1636 were one hundred and thirty eight in number, and Thomas Sanford was one of them. He was made a Freeman on 9 March 1637. This right or title conferred upon the holder the right of suffrage and also an advantage in the division of lands. The principal qualification for this position was church membership in a Congregational church. Much reference is made in the notes as to the term "freeman". A freeman was required to be of godly walk and conversation, required to be at least twenty years of age, to take the Freeman's Oath of allegiance to the government of Massachusetts, to be worth £200, to hold office if elected or pay a fine of forty shillings, to vote at all elections or pay same fine. He was allotted land in Dorchester in 1635. He entered into an agreement to look after the town cows for the season of 1635 and 1637. It is believed that he married in Dorchester and this his first two children were born there. It is also believed that he stayed there until after April, 1640, when the parcel of land was granted to him that had been previously only "booked" to him. He was surely in Milford in January, 1642, when he joined the church. His third child, Mary, is recorded in the records of the First Church of Milford as having been born in January 1641. Milford land records indicate that he was allotted land there beginning in 1643. His name appears in other instances over the years as late as 1680. They indicate that he bore his part and was held in the good opinion of this neighbors, that he was a frugal and industrious citizen, which was shown by the amount of his estate, appraised 21 Oct 1681, soon after his death at over £450. Two of his sons, Ezekiel and Samuel became quite wealthy for those times. Records indicate that he could read, write, and "cast accompts (accounts)." His will shows him to have been a prosperous, successful man, of a kindly and generous nature and of exceptional character. Thomas Sanford Genealogy c., 1911, pp. 60-82 Thomas Sanford arrived in the colonies with his younger brother Andrew and his uncle, Andrew Warner, in 1632 at Dorchester, Massachusetts. He sailed on the ship Arabella as part of the Winthrop Fleet. Many ships over many months came as a part of that activity. He, one brother and their uncle, traveled as single men. He married Dorothea Meadows in Dorchester and they had two children. She died shortly after. He married Sarah Meadows and they set out for Hartford, Connecticut, where some of his relatives had settled, then went on to Milford, Connecticut, where they made their home and had more children. They became an important part of that community by owning property and being very active in both church and civic affairs. They were considered among the founders of Milford, Connecticut. All but the first two children were born at Milford and the parents were buried there. He was married to Sarah Meadows in 1641 in Dorchester. There are no stones marking their graves. The oldest stone marker is 1726, Mrs. Samuel Sanford. Maid Sara Whitlock is mentioned in his will. (Source: Elizabeth Wallace) John Sanford, San Jose, CA (June, 1996) Additional information on the ancestors of Thomas Sanford is located on Brøderbund World Family Tree, Volume 8, Pedigree #3331. This provides a vital link to Nicholas deSandford and his spouse, Alice Botilier. Alice is a descendant of Henry II, King of England, and links the Sanford family with the royal families of the United Kingdom and other royal families on the continent. Dennis BeMent (August, 1997) An excellent published record of the Sanford Family in America is available in some libraries entitled: Thomas Sanford Genealogy - The Emigrant to New England, 1610-1910 by Carlton E. Sanford, Potsdam, New York; c., 1911, The Tuttle Company, Rutland, Vermont. This is a two volume set consisting of 1612 pages and over 18,000 Sanford descendants. One known set is located at the Orlando Public Library, Orlando, Florida. Reference numbers are included for many of the descendants as assigned from the original publication. In order to provide an efficient reference to that publication the following is an interpretation of that reference: 4-141/110 would indicate David Sanford, who was of the fourth generation, individual #141, with the first reference of him in the original publication located on page 110. A reprint of the above 1911 book is also available from the Higginson Book Company in Salem, Massachusetts. There appears to be considerable confusion in ascertaining all of the pertinent information on Thomas as there were other Sanford's that emigrated to American and many others by the name Thomas. The author of the book, Carlton E. Sanford, indicates that Thomas' first two (of seven) children were born in Dorchester and the other five in Milford. He does not, however, acknowledge that the first two children were from a first wife as indicated in some later records. Carlton Sanford indicates that Thomas was not a part of the Winthrop Fleet. Later records indicate that he was in fact part of one of those crossings. Dennis BeMent (November, 1997) THOMAS ANDREW SANFORD CONNECTICUT (1607/08-1681) Thomas SANFORD, progenitor of his line in America was born in 1607/08 at Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, England. Thomas settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he was granted a four-acre tract of land 22 Nov. 1634, and sixteen acres, 4 Jan. 1635. These two plots were "on the west side of the way by Mr. Hawthorne's by the brooke on Roxbury boundes" and on 18 Feb. 1635, he was allotted two acres in the fresh marsh nearest the town. Thomas was married 1636-37 to Sarah, maiden name unknown, at Dorchester, MA. She died May 14, 1681 at Milford, CT. Her name is not mentioned in her husband's will who died in the following October. He was added to the First Church of Milford Jan 9, 1642 and she Dec. 16, 1642. Thomas and Sarah were the parents of seven children. An interesting document in Dorchester, MA, records, entered April 17, 1635, reveals that Thomas THORNTON and Thomas SANFORD were to keep the cows for seven months for which they were to receive 5s.3d. a cow if there were six cows; if the herd were less they would receive less payment. The two men promised to collect the cows each morning an hour after sunrise, and to drive them across the bridge on their return trip at evening. This routine was followed each week day, and by one man on Sunday. The following year, 1636, it was further ordered by the court that all cows must be placed in the care of keepers in a common pasture from April 17th to November 15th, and Mathias SENSION was to assist Thomas SANFORD in herding them. Thomas was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, March 9,1636/37, in Dorchester, MA. Thomas SANFORD removed to Milford, CT, and the birth in January 1641, of his daughter Mary is recorded in the annals of the First Church of Milford, which indicates that he was residing there then. He was admitted to the church January 9, 1642 Thomas acquired various tracts of land in Milford and served on town committees. On the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of founding the town the citizens of Milford erected a stone bridge over the stream, which had formerly been difficult to cross when entering the town. This bridge built in 1889, in memory of the founders, contains heavy stones on the battlements in which the names of the pioneers are cut. The memorial inscription to Thomas SANFORD follows: Thomas Sanford Obit 1681 Sarah His Wife Died, in October, 1681, in Milford, CT. His will made September 23, 1681, and his estate was valued upon appraisal, October 21, 1681, at L450 18s. 3d.

Isaac Beecher, the ancestor of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Her first husband, Potter, died in England, where she married a Mr. Beecher. It is generally supposed that her husband was John Beecher, one of the seven whom Eaton sent to New Haven in advance of the colony and who died before the colony arrived. She has been considered to be the mother of Isaac Beecher, for she calls him her son in her will and gave him one-third of her property. There was in New Haven, says G. F. Tuttle, as early as 1641, a widow Hannah Potter, known as widow Potter the midwife. In 1643 she had two persons in the family, thirty pounds estate and twenty and one quarter acres of land. She is called "sister Potter the midwife," in seating the meeting house in 1646. She is supposed to have been akin to the other Potters, but there is no record to show it. She has often been confounded with the widow Hannah Beecher, our subject, but the records clearly show that they were two different persons. The will of Hannah Beecher was proved April 5, 1659, and is recorded in first part, vol. i, p. 80, of New Haven Probate Records, as follows: "I Hannah Beecher of New Haven, expecting my great change, do make this my last will and testament, I bequeath my soul unto the hands of my Lord Jesus Christ by whose meritt I hope to be saved and my body to be burried at the discretion of my Son William Potter my Executor. And for my worldly goods I give unto John Potter my Grand child twenty shillings and to Hannah Blackly, my Grand child, wife of Samuel Blackly, twenty shillings. And to Samuel Potter my Grand child twenty shillings to be paid to them within three months after my decease. And for the rest of my estate I give one third part to my son Isaac Beecher and two thirds to my eldest son William Potter, making him my Executor, desiring him to be as father to his younger brother and his children. And in dividing my goods my will is that my son William should have me feather bed with that belongeth to it, unto his part and that the rest be divided at the discretion of my Overseers with the assistance of Sister Wakeman and sister Rutherford and I desire my loving freinds [sic] Mr. Mathew Gilbert and John Wakeman to be overseers of this my last will whereunto I have set my hand this 13th day of June, Anno 1657.

Dutton : His tombstone bears the following inscription in Latin: "Here lies the, dust of Richard Denton. O'er his low peaceful grave bends the, perennial, cypress, fit emblem of his unfading fame. On earth his bright, example,, religious light, shown, forth o'er multitudes. In heaven his pure, rob'd, spirit shines like an effulgent star." A graduate of Cambridge in 1623, and acknowledged by many as the founder of Presbyterianism in America, Rev. Richard Denton came to New England in 1635. Before coming he was a preacher in Halifax England. From England, the Cambridge University listing for Richard Denton says: "Sizar of St. Catherine's Easter, 1621, b. 1603 in Yorks, B.A. 1622-3, priest 8 June 1623. Deacon at Peterborough 9 March 1622-3. Curate of Coley Chapel, Halifax, for some years." ("Sizar" is defined as an undergraduate student.) From an unnamed history of the Denton family: The general opinion among members of the Denton family is that all of the Dentons in the United States are descendants of Rev. Richard Denton. Our research seems to substantiate this, for we have found only two instances where other Dentons lived in America and neither of these left heirs named Denton. From New England Genealogical Reg. 11/241: Rev. Richard Denton came to American from the Parish of Owram, North England on the ship "James." He lived in Wetheresfield and Stamford, Connecticut. The J.S. Denton papers show baptismal records of Nathaniel and Timothy sons of Rev. Richard Denton "in Parish Church of Bolton, England." Rev. Richard worked first with the famous preacher, Cotton Mather. Rev. Mather speaks of Rev. Denton in his early memoirs: "Rev. Denton was a highly religious man with strong Presbyterian beliefs. He was a small man with only one eye, but in the pulpit he could sway a congregation like he was nine feet tall." In his book, "The History of the Clergy in the Middle Colonies" author Weiss makes reference to the religious conflict of early Connecticut which resulted in Rev. Richard Denton moving on to Hempstead, Long Island, NY in 1644. He settled there in the midst of a large Dutch colony. However, there were also many English settlers living in the area without benefit of religious guidance. With these scattered members for a beginning, Rev. Denton established the first Presbyterian Church in America. This church was so successful that soon the Dutch neighbors were attending services there. History shows some controversy developed when Rev. Denton began to baptize some of the younger children of the Dutch who did not agree with all the Presbyterian beliefs. The history of Hempstead, Long Island makes many references to the Dentons and their marriages and big families. The men were active in the local militias fighting the Indians and they developed excellent military experience that prepared them for officer commissions when they moved on to the Virginia frontier. From "Narratives of New Netherland, 1609-1664" a letter to the Classis of Amsterdam from Johannes Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius dated August 5, 1657: "At Hempstead, about seven leagues from here, there live someIndependents. There are also many of our own church, and some Presbyterians. They have a Presbyterian preacher, Richard Denton, a pious, godly and learned man, who is in agreement with our church in everything. The Independents of the place listen attentively to his sermons; but when he began to baptize the children of parents who are not members of the church, they rushed out of the church." From another letter dated Oct. 22, 1659 the same writers continue: "Mr. Richard Denton, who is sound in faith, of a friendly disposition, and beloved by all, cannot be induced by us to remain, although we have earnestly tried to do this in various ways. He first went to Virginia to seek a situation, complaining of lack of salary, and that he was getting in debt, but he has returned thence. He is now fully resolved to go to old England, because of his wife who is sickly will not go without him, and there is need of their going there on account of a legacy of four hundred pounds sterling lately left by a deceased friend, and which they cannot obtain except by their personal presence." from "Richard Denton" by: Irena Marion Denton Wooton (11th Generation Denton in America) © 1978, 1987, 1991, 1997: Rev Richard Denton Our progenitor is the Reverend Richard Denton born 1603 in Yorkshire, England, was educated at the University of Cambridge, a rare accomplishment and privilege in that era, and received his A.B. from Cambridge in 1623 on June 8. He became Curate of Curate of Coley Chapel a small community amount those near Halifax in England, from when he migrated to America in 1630. Records indicate he was, at that time a Congregational Minister preaching at Watertown, Mass. about 1635. From there, he went to Wethersfield, Conn. being one of the first settlers of that town. In 1641, he was again a first settler this time at Stanford, Conn. He evidently did not live there too long as he is reported to have preached to the English soldiers at the Fort in New Amsterdam 1643-45. Confirming this move is a 1650 deed at Stanford, Conn., in which he disposed of valuable property there and says he was of Mashpeag, Long Island. There are also two documents at the State Library at Albany, New York signed by him and dated from Mashpeag and Middleborough in 1650-51. Town records at Hempstead, Long Island, New York show that he was engaged to act as minister there in 1644. It is said that many of his Stamford parishioners followed him to Hempstead as was the custom in those days and where he established a Presbyterian Church, known as Christ Church, it is still in existence on Denton Square, though the original church is long gone and on its site is the fourth Christ Church, this one a modern edifice nearly a block long. I personally believe that the Rev. Richard Denton was buried at Hempstead, Long Island, when he died in 1662 or 1663 at the age of 76. Some historians list his burial place as Hempstead, Essex, England, but I cannot follow this line of thinking after studying his contributions to the settling of America. I have to agree with those who say he was interred in America. About 1623-24, the Rev. Richard Denton married Helen Windlbank in England, where their first four children were born all Baptisms being recorded at Bolton; Sarah, born about 1624; Daniel born 1626; Timothy born 1627; Nathaniel born 1629. A fifth child Richard, was born at Dorcester, Mass. in 1630, the Dentons having arrived in America June 11, 1630. Samuel was born 1632-34; and John 1636. Nowhere have I found further mention of Helen and the search goes on. His ancestry is notable and the name Denton well established in England's history. It has often been said that the Denton family is really French and early families in England were known as "De Denton" Undoubtedly there is some connection between the French "Dentons" and English "Dentons" although the family was well established and prominent in England long before the "Dentons" came into prominence. From somewhere comes a notation that the name Denton originated in ancient Rome and that the Roman Consul, Julius Dentatus, went to England with Emperor Saverus and built the tower on Pict's Wall, a part of Denton Hall near Carlisle, Cumberland County, England. It has also been said that Denton is a Saxon word meaning "Den" a valley and "ton" a town, or a "valley in a town" freely translated to mean one who came from a homestead in a valley. Since this is the explanation given me by my great aunt, it is the one I adhere to; and it could well be true as there is much evidence to indicate the Dentons were Saxons (as were our "Wakeman" ancestors). The deDenton may have originated when marriages took place between the deVillibus and Denton families. Or perhaps there were those who thought the "de" added a tone of aristocracy to the name. At any rate, the name in England dates as far back as the Norman Conquest of 1066, the earliest records dating back to William I during whose reign a family settled at Denton and Denton Hall is still known throughout England. Bueth, the Saxon, Lord of Denton was Lord of all the lands in the Barony of Gillesland, and dwelt at the Tower of Denton, at Denton Hall. When Cumberland was conquered, Bueth was driven out, was held prisoner by the Normans and died in banishment in Scotland. His son, Gilles Fitz-Bueth, assisted David King of Scots in retaking Cumberland and as Bueth's heir claimed the lands as his. The King supported his claim and dispossessed Hubert deVillibus who had been given the lands by William the Conqueror. Later, Robert deVillibus killed Gilles, Lord of Denton; yet, ironically, these two families eventually intermarried. The British grant for Coat of Arms recorded in Cumberland for this Denton family is a silver shield, two red bars and three martlets (birds) colored black. British records list a number of Coats of Arms grants for persons named Denton. This particular line became extinct when, five generations later, Sir Richard Denton died. However, another Coat of Arms is described as "Argent two bars gules in chief three cinquefoils sable. Crest: A lion couchant or." This would mean a silver shield, two red bars in three black arcs forming a circle. The shield would be surmounted by a gold lion in a crouching position. Gilles' marriage produced two children who carried on a long line of landed and titled descendants according to historians. We read of "Thomas, Lord of Over-Denton. Askelin deDenton, Robert deDenton who built Carlisle Hall. Adam deDenton, lord of Denton Hall in Gillesland. John, founder of the Dentons of Buckinghamshire. Another John deDenton who married his cousin Lady Isabella deVillibus. She was the daughter of Eustace deVillibus, Lord of Hayton, and Alice his wife who was the daughter of Bueth, Lord of Denton. Then there was John, Lord of Ainstipligh the forest of Garaway, and Kirkpatrick Agingrow in Scotland ....all of these lands being a gift from Edward Baliol, King of Scots. One Sirith deDenton married her cousin Robert deDenton adding to his land holdings the other half or part of "Nether Denton" called "West Denton" which, most likely was adjacent to or adjoined the Carlisle Hall lands. Sir Richard deDenton lord of Denton Hall and Nether Denton was also Governor of Carlisle. Descendant John Denton, Esq. who exchanged Denton Hall and all his land holdings in Gillesland with a kinsman, William Lord Dacre, for Warnel in the Parish of Sebergham; and Thomas Denton, Esq. who built the house at Warnel later called the Hall of Warnel-Denton. Some accounts say the main tower of Warnel Hall was built as his ransom by a Scottish nobleman who had been taken prisoner by Thomas. In "Surnames of Scotland" the name Denton is listed and described "From the old barony of Denton in Dumfrieshire. Alan deDenton was juror on inquest at Gerwan (Girvan) in 1260. In 1329, Elizabeth deDenton received a legacy from the Queen Elizabeth 1st." As the family multiplied, it spread counting the notable and notorious among its members. Ministers were numerous as were writers, lawyers, teachers and doctors with the first recorded in that profession being Doctor William Denton 1605 - 1691, physician to King Charles I. Whether he was a brother or a cousin of our Reverend Richard Denton has not been ascertained though it would seem reasonable to believe that they were related and quite possibly brothers. This belief stems from the influence Rev Richard must have had in the Court of King Charles I in order to obtain permission to leave England to be able to remove his family to America. We may also believe that Rev Richard's position at court was enhanced by his marriage to Helen Windlbank who is believed to have been the daughter of the King's Privy Council Master Secretary Windlbank. This would also place them in the company of Puritans John Winthrop had gathered to make his company to remove to America. In 1629, the Puritans had obtained a grant from King Charles I for settlement in New England; and in 1630, one thousand Puritans reached America, our Rev Richard Denton among them with his family as well as John Winthrop, Governor of the Colonists, land at Salem, Mass on June 11, 1630, aboard the ship "Arbella". The New England Genealogical Register says the Rev Richard arrived on the ship "James"; however this is refuted at the New York State Library at Albany which lists the "Arbella". There is no disagreement as to his ministerial abilities, and I would very much like to obtain a copy of his "Solilioquia Sacra" (Sacred Soliloquy) which "describes the four fold state of man in his created purity, contracted deformity, restored beauty, and celestial glory. It is said to be a farseeing work that Churches would find of great interest. According to the Rev Doctor Cotton Mather in his "Magnalia Christie" volume 1, page 398, our Rev Richard Denton was one of those "carried about of winds" which is to say the religious unrest and persecution of the times forced him to flee from England to America for freedom of worship, hence from one place to another in America. Mather goes on to say that in the realm of this new freedom, the Rev Denton's "doctrines dropped as rain, his speech distilled as dew". Though he was small of stature, his great soul shone through all he did and his mind was brilliant. It is said he was blind in one eye but still saw far beyond what the eyes of man can see. His epitaph is reported to read: "Here sleeps the dust of Richard Denton; O'er his low peaceful grave bends The perennial cypress, fit emblem Of his unfading fame. On Earth His bright example, religious light! Shone forth o'er multitudes. In Heaven His pure rob'd spirit shines Like an effulgent star." This is a translation from the Latin in which many epitaphs were written in that era. And having this information, how can historians not know where he is buried? "A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England" by John Farmer with additions and corrections by Samuel G. Drake lists "Richard, Minister, Wethersfield and Stamford, Conn and Hempstead, L.I. where he died 1663." Cotton Mather also wrote that Rev Denton would have his reward among the saints and wrote this couplet (Coincidental?): "Here Denton lies, his toils and hardships past, whose name no memory of dishonor mars. On earth a light of faith, he shines at last full-orbit and glorious with the eternal stars." "Toil and hardship"! What it must have been like when he began his ministry about 1621 when he was said to be graduated from "Sizar of St. Catherine", then Deacon of Catherine Hall, of Peterborough and Curate of Coley Chapel, Halifax. Records of this last church show that the Denton family, generously endowed with Richards, had been located in that area for over a century. Coley Chapel was the name of a settlement and was the center of a small group of such communities near Halifax. Many of the early settlers of Hempstead came from these communities, as well as many of those at Wethersfield and Stamford, Conn. It seems safe to assume that these settlers either accompanied or followed the Rev Richard Denton to America. History is rich in the hardships of those early settlers. The Rev Denton seems to have been classified a "Presbyterian Independent" during his ministry at Watertown, Mass. Since such a leaning was frowned upon by many, in 1635 Mr. Denton moved stablishing a new settlement which he named Wethersfield, Conn. and where he established a church of a "Congregational" nature, more Quaker than Presbyterian. Despite the wild, uncivilized, strange and hostile land and natives, the community seems to have grown and prospered under his guiding hand. The Dentons also prospered as did many of their friends acquiring land, building wood houses and barns for their live stock. The latter was often put up before a house in order of importance since the cattle, pigs, horses, chickens, etc., were their food and transportation sources as were the wild animals hunted for food. Naturally, in such virgin country, game was plentiful so the children were taught early in life the art of hunting, farming all other craft necessary for survival. At the same time, the children were taught the ideals and beliefs by which their father lived, and for which he lived. Their formal education was also, most likely, furnished by their father with much, I'm sure, contributed by their mother, as it is known that the older children at least could read and write and were, at times, even quite eloquent. As to the younger boys born in America, I am not certain though there is indication that neither Samuel nor John could write as land transfers have been found in which they used their mark. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Denton's wife found the rigors of their adopted land and a large family too much and did not live too long after coming here, not long enough to teach her younger children to read or write, anyway. In 1641, the Rev Mr Denton became one of the first settlers, if not the actual founder, of Stamford, Conn. where records show him to have been the owner of very valuable property. A deed recorded at Stamford reveals that he later sold his land holdings to the Rev John Bishop who succeeded him as Minister at Stamford. This title transfer took place after the Rev Denton had become minister at Hempstead, Long Island, New York in 1644. A descendant of baronial land holders, it was natural for Richard Denton and his family after him to invest in land wherever they lived. Hempstead, Long Island records, livre C page 146 (Volume 2, page 17) shows "Samuel Denton and others on June 20, 1679 became owners of land, 50 acres each on the same terms as those from whom they bought" so they had restrictions even then that "went with the land". Samuel is on the 1673 Dutch census at Hempstead and in 1685 is shown to have owned 240 acres of land. He was born about 1632 - 34, married about 1656 to Mary Smith daughter of John Smith who was, quite obviously, Dutch as evidenced by wording of Hempstead Town Records Vol. 1, p. 152 wherein one Jeremy Wood of Hempstead "covenanted bargained and sold to Thomas Rushmour and Samuel Denton (joyntly) all my rights and priviledges upon Mathrew Garrisons Neck and at Mattinacock --- 15 day of March 1663". And further along in the same records is "Aprill 18th anno 1665 whar as I John Smith:r: of hamsteede have bargened and bouaitte of ambrose sutton the seller and seller Loote that was hes and sumtimes Edmon Wodes and all his writt and Tittall of Lands one (on) the plaines I the a fors'd John Smith have sold on to my suninlaw Samuell Denton" etc., etc. Samuel died intestate March 20, 1713 per NY Surrogate 8-505 administrator his son Samuel. Papers filed Court of Appeals at Albany, New York. It should also be noted on Feb 3, 1663, he was elected a "Townsman" per Hempstead Town Records. This was in all probability the same as a "Selectman" or according to today's language a councilman or supervisor. Rev. Richard Denton's son Daniel born about 1626, either in Lancashire or Yorkshire (Historians do not agree on this point), England, Baptized at Bolton, was town clerk of Hempstead, Long Island in 1650. In 1656, he became one of the first settlers of Jamaica, Long Island where he became the first Town Clerk; and in 1662, became a Magistrate of Judge as we would say today. On October 28, 1664, he was one of the grantees of the deed for the land at and about Elizabethtown, New Jersey known as the "Elizabethtown Grant". Daniel was appointed Justice of the Peace by Governor Nichols in 1665 and 1666. In 1670, he revisited England where, in London, he wrote and published a book "A Brief Description of New York - formerly known as New Netherlands". According to a file card in the State Library at Albany, New York V. 39, G917.47, D41a2, this book was "printed for John Hancock at the first shop in Popes-Head Alley in Cornhill at 3 Bibles and Wm. Farley Bardley at the 3 Bibles in Minories 1670. The type was set up on a scale so much larger than the rest of the work, the imprint is often cut off by the binder. This is the first separate publication in English relating to the province of New York. Advertised at the foot of page 21 is `The accurate Accomptant or London-Merchant-To be sold by John Hancock at the first shop in Popes-Head-Alley at the sign of the 3 Bibles in Cornhill 1670'." The original edition is "bound in light brown crushed levant, gold tooled, with circular corner ornaments and inside gold tooled borders by Bradstreet's". Obviously, the purpose of this 16 page book was to increase the migration of desireable settlers to America. It goes so far as to offer advice to those venturing the move. When Daniel returned to America, he settled at Piscataway, East Jersey where he was appointed Magistrate on August 25, 1673. For whatever reason, in 1674, he sold his holdings there and moved to Springfield, Mass. where he became a school teacher as well as Town Recorder. There are also records showing that Daniel and Nathaniel Denton owned what would, today, be considered a sizeable amount of land and very valuable land. Imagine 250 acres of land on Long Island or in New Jersey just across the border from New York! In their day, they owned much of the land in and about Jamaica, Hempstead and Huntington, Long Island as well as land in and around Elizabethtown, New Jersey! Daniel had married Abigail Stevenson (daughter of Edward and Anne _____?) in 1659 and had two children, Daniel, Jr. born about 1661 in Jamaica, L.I. and baptized in the Dutch Church in Brooklyn December 14, 1679 at the age of 17 or 18. Abigail was born about 1662. Obviously there were problems as Daniel and Abigail were divorced June 26 1672. Abigail remarried in October 1672 a Major Daniel Whitehead (another Daniel!) who was the son of Daniel and Jeanne (Skidmore-this name will appear again later) Whitehead. Abigail was buried at Jamaica October 15, 1715. Daniel Denton also married a second time at Springfield, Mass. on April 24, 1676 to Hannah Leonard born December 19, 1659 at Springfield, daughter of John and Sarah (Heath) Leonard. They had six children, Hannah, Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thomas and Alice. Ten years later, June 12, 1684, at a town meeting at Jamaica, L.I., N.Y., it was ordered (?) that "Daniel Denton shall have liberty to come and settle himself and his family in Jamaica". Here, he again became Town Clerk, and on December 20, 1689, he was commissioned County Clerk of Queens County. He died about 1703 but left no Will of record. In 1641, he with a majority of his congregation emigrated to Toquams, later called Rippowams, and finally Stamford, Conneticut. In Stamford he acquired some valuable real estate which he sold in 1643 to his successor, the Reverend John Bishop, when he was again compelled to move. It seems his views were only a little less narrow than his contemporaries, but in those days no deviation of belief was tolerated. This time, in the year 1644, he became pastor in the newly settled village of Manetos, New Netherland, now called Hempstead, Long Island. He was the first minister in the three towns, Wethersfield, Conn., Stamford, Conn. and Hempstead, L.I. his church in Hempstead is said to be the earliest true presbyterian Church in America. It was erected in 1645 or 1646 at what is now the corner of Fulton and Franklin Streets in New York City. The building was about twenty-four feet square and had a fort or stockade attached for protection against the Indians. Like other churches of that time, it had no bell. A drummer walking through the village streets, summoned the faithful to meetings. Mr Denton's salary was approximately $325.00 a year paid for the most part in kind. Some random notes about our ancestor; In 1647, he stated he was 61 years old. In a deed at Stamford in 1650, in which he disposed of his property there, he refers to himself as of "Mashpeag" on Long Island. There are two documents at Albany, signed by him, dated from Mashpeag and Middleborough in 1650-51. For a time he preached to the English soldiers at the fort in New Amsterdam, probably at about the time of the Indian troubles in 1643-5. In 1658, he was definitely engaged to act as minister at Hempstead, as appears from a contract on the Town records. In 1649, Charles I was convicted of treason and beheaded, and his views were soon replaced by those of Oliver Cromwell's. In 1658 or 1659, Reverend Denton returned to the land of his birth. He took a church in Essex and wrote "Soliloquia Sacra". He died at Hempstead, Essex in 1662-3 at age 76. There a tomb to his memory is a Latin inscription: "Hic jacet et fruitur Tranquilla sede Richardus Dentonus cujus Fama perenis erit In Cola jam coeli velut Astra micantia fulget Que multi Fidei Lumina clara dedit" Thompson gives the following free translation: Here sleeps the dust of Richard Denton O'er his low peaceful grave bends The perennial cypress, fit emblem Of his unfading fame. In Heaven His pure rob'd spirit shines Like an effulgent star. It is said that Richard Denton was a small man, blind in one eye, but ready to face the devil, in any form, with the other one if his conscience so directed. Whenever he preached, it was with fervour and conviction in his words.. He is stated to have been Presbyterian, but his services at the earlier churches in New England was in a vicinity of markedly "Independent" or "Congregational" opinion and he evidently accepted the Church of England, at least in his later years, in taking a charge in Essex. A rather interesting study of his religious affiliations is found in "History of the Presbyterian Church, Jamaica, L.I." by James M. MacDonald, D.D. 1862, pages 65-67. His influence among the early settlers of these various communities was evidently powerful, as we find that quite a few of the first settlers at Stamford, evidently followed him to Hempstead. Venn's "Cambridge Alumni" says of Richard Denton; "Sizar of St. Catherines, Easter, 1621, B. 1603 in Yorks. B.A. 1622-3. Priest 8 June, 1623. Deacon at Peterborough, 9 Mar. 1622-3.Curate of Coley Chapel, Halifax for some years. Went to New England about 1638. Preached at Stamford, Conn. and Hempstead, Long Island, 15 years. Returned to England 1659, said to have died at Hempstead, Essex. Authour of Soliloquia Sacra. [windlbank.ged] In 1623, Richard Denton was graduated from Cambridge University, and settled in an established Church of England in Halifax, where he remained until 1630. While in Cambridge, Denton became interested in the debate about church policy led by Cartwright. Denton did not leave the Church of England at the outset. However, his seven years in Halifax made it clear that he could no longer remain in the orders of the Church of England. With followers from this church, Coley's Chapel in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, he started for New England in the Puritan exodus of 1630-1640. They stopped first in Massachusetts, then moved to Weathersfield and Stamford. In 1643, a committee from Rev. Denton's settlement went to Long Island to spy out the land. They met with the Indian chiefs of Marsapeague, Mericock and Rockaway and received from them a conveyance of two-thirds of Great Plains, now known as Hempstead Plains. The above document is a 1740 copy of the agreement of November 18, 1643. Robert Fordham and John Carman are mentioned in this document, as is Micah Smith. In 1644, Rev. Richard Denton led the migration from Stamford to Hempstead, Long Island, NY. November 13th, 1643. A graduate of Cambridge in 1623, and acknowledged by many as the founder of Presbyterianism in America, Rev. Richard Denton came to New England in 1635. Before coming he was a preacher in Halifax England. From England, the Cambridge University listing for Richard Denton says: "Sizar of St. Catherine's Easter, 1621, b. 1603 in Yorks, B.A. 1622-3, priest 8 June 1623. Deacon at Peterborough 9 March 1622-3. Curate of Coleys Chapel, Halifax, for some years." ("Sizar" is defined as an undergraduate student.) In his book, "The History of the Clergy in the Middle Colonies" author Weiss makes reference to the religious conflict of early Connecticut which resulted in Rev. Richard Denton moving on to Hempstead, Long Island, NY in 1644. He settled there in the midst of a large Dutch colony. However, there were also many English settlers living in the area without benefit of religious guidance. With these scattered members for a beginning, Rev. Denton established the first Presbyterian Church in America. This church was so successful that soon the Dutch neighbors were attending services there. History shows some controversy developed when Rev. Denton began to baptize some of the younger children of the Dutch who did not agree with all the Presbyterian beliefs. The history of Hempstead, Long Island makes many references to the Dentons and their marriages and big families. The men were active in the local militias fighting the Indians and they developed excellent military experience that prepared them for officer commissions when they moved on to the Virginia frontier. From "Narratives of New Netherland, 1609-1664" a letter to the Classis of Amsterdam from Johannes Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius dated August 5, 1657: "At Hempstead, about seven leagues from here More About Rev.

Daniel Denton43, born 1626 in Bolton, Yorkshire, England43; died 1703 in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY43; married Abigail Stevenson 1659. Notes for Daniel Denton: [windlbank.ged] Daniel was the author of "A Brief Description of New-York: Formerly Called New-Netherlands . . ." (London: Printed for John Hancock and William Bradley 1670; New York: Gowans, 1845) This promotional tract was written to encourage English settlement of territories lately seized from the Dutch and gives an account of the geographical features and general economy of the country surrounding New York, relates some customs of the native inhabitants and offers incentives and advice to prospective settlers. It was reprinted in the New York Times in 1900. It said: "A second, perfect copy of this book previously unknown to bibliographers came to light at the sale of Lord Ashburton's library in November 1900. Mr. Brayton Ives paid $525 for this copy. When Ives collection was sold in March, this same copy resold for $615. A copy of this book is in the possession of Columbia University library." In 1650 he was made town clerk of Hempstead, where his father was pastor, and in 1656 he held the same position in the town of Jamaica. When his father removed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Denton remained on Long Island and in 1664 he became one of the grantees of a patent at Elizabethtown, NJ. In 1665 and 1666 he served as justice of the peace in New York, appointed by Governor Nichols. He married Abigail Stephenson who bore three children and from whom he was divorced in 1672. The two elder children remained with their father, while the infant, Mercy, accompanied her mother, who subsequently remarried. Denton left New York for England in 1670 (which may have occasioned his divorce), and there he evidently participated in settlement enterprises and possible in the newly acquired (by the English) fur trade. "A brief Description of New-York" is a twenty-five page pamphlet describing the topography, climate, soil, fauna and flora, settlements, crops, products, trades and occupations of the area between the Hudson and Delaware rivers and includes Manhattan Island, Staten Island and Long Island. He also included in this pamphlet some anecdotal relations of Indian customs and society. Quite understandably, he did not describe the Indians as a threatening presence, noting that: "It hath been generally observed, that where the English come to settle, a Divine Hand makes way for them; by removing or cutting off the Indians, either by Wars one with the other, or by some raging mortal Disease." From his will: "In the name of God, Amen. I, Daniel Denton of Goshen in Orange County, being mindful that the hour of death is uncertain, and also that it behooves every man to set his house in order . . .

Christened on 29 May 1631 in Coley Chapel, Halifax, England. Died on 20 Mar 1713 in Hempstead, Long Island, NY. Samuel was listed on the 1673 Dutch Census at Hempstead, NY and owned property in Hempstead from 1662 and lived in the area most of his life. Transactions in 1703 show that he owned slaves. In 1685, he was reported to be owning 240 acres of land. The 1698 Census at Hempstead, NY lists six of his nine children. "New York Surrogate 8-305: Adm. Samuel Denton, late of Hempstead, intestate March 20, 1713 to his sons Samuel and Jonas." Papers filed with the clerk in Court of Appeals, Albany, NY named a daughter, "Hannah, wife of Thomas Treadwell," also spelled Tredwell. From the "Tennessee Valley Historical Review:" Hempstead town records show that Samuel Denton and others took up land, 50 acres each, on the same terms as the first proprietors. In 1663, jointly with Thomas Rushmour, Samuel Denton obtained all rights and privileges upon Matthew Garrison's Neck and at Mattinacock, from Jeremy Wood of Hempstead. On April 18, 1665, John Smith of Hempstead sold to "my son-in-law Samuel Denton" certain lands. In 1698 he was called Samuel Denton, Senior. A deed of gifts from Samuel Denton of Hempstead, Yeoman, in consideration of "paternal love and affection I have and do bear toward my well-beloved son James Denton of Hempstead, Yeoman" to land within the township of Hempstead. December 16, 1710. The date of Samuel's inventory was March 15, 1713 and was taken by Obediah Volintine and James Serion. "March 10, 1713, Hempstead. Mary Denton ye widdow and Relict of Samuel Denton, late of Hempstead in Queens County, doth for divers good causes and consideration hereunto moving, refuses to administer upon the estate of her deceased husband, Samuel Denton." So the administration was granted to Samuel and Jonas Denton, sons of said deceased. The records pertaining to the administration of the estate clearly show receipts from the children calling each by name. Therefore we have a definite list of the children of Samuel and Mary Smith Denton. From Genelogical Data from Inventories of NY Estates 1666-1825 by Kenneth Scott and James Owne.

Notes for John Stevens: [AnneCrewe.ged] founder of the Guildford and Killingworth branches of the Stephens (or Stevens) family. He was named for his uncle, John Stephens, a member of Parliament. Shortly before his embarkation for American (1644-45), his father's house at Lypiatt had been besieged and captured by the royalist party and future prospects were not bright for the young man. Some of his friends and associates had already come to America, among them Samuel Desborough (brother of General John Desborough, one of the leaders of the commonwealth and brother-in-law of the lord protector, Oliver Cromwell) who had become a resident of Guilford, Connecticut in 1641. He persuaded John Stephens to leave England. John's wife had died just before this. Taking his two sons and daughter he came to America and settled in Guilford, Connecticut. His name appears in the New Haven Colony records as early as 1645. He had an estate in Guilford. An island not far from his estate was named Falcon Island because of the falcon in the Stephens coat of arms. Being a member of the Church of England, John Stephens was at first denied the right of suffrage but took the oath of allegiance with his sons in 1669. As the Church of England was not tolerated in the Colony at that time, he had to subscribe to the Puritan doctrines. He died on August 27, 1670, By his will, filed among state papers in Hartford, Conn., he left the principal portion of his estate to William Stephens, his eldest son in America, on condition of a gift on money to his eldest son, John, who remained in England.from "Genealogies of Connecticut Families," John was one of the early settlers of Guilford, but not a signer of the original plantation convenant. He shared in the first division of homelots and lands. His homelot of 1 1/2 acres was on the east side of Fair Street. In addition, he owned a parcel of upland containing 36 1/4 acres, besides the Alderswamp, nea the present Alderbrook cemetery. "Goodman Stevens" was fined for neglect of fencingl on October 9, 1645. He was a planter in 1650, but before 1656 seems to have united with the church, as he is recorded as a freeman in the latter year. His will, made on August 27, 1670, leaves to his son, Thomas "the mare I usually rede on and my biggest brass kettle," "my best sute and my cloake and my bed and one payre of sheets and all my other bedding." To his son William he gave "all my houseing and my homelot and my meadow at the East River her in Guilford, he paying out of it 10 pence to my daughter Mary Collins and sonne John Stephens in old England to be paid here in currant pay in New England. The inventory of the estate showed 32 pounds of property at Killingworth, and 93 pounds at Guilford. He signed with his mark, and seems to have been one of the less conspicuous settlers.

Notes for Thomas Stevens: According to "Genealogies of Connecticut Families," Thomas removed to Killingworth, and was a member of the church there in 1670. He never became a freeman in Guilford. He was a strong adherent of Dr. Rossiter, and in October, he, his brother and father joined with others in Guilford in seceding from New Haven Colony, and tendered themselves with their persons and estates to the Connecticut Colony. The bitter controversy that followed was a chief cause of both Thomas' and William's leaveing Guilford. Thomas was a man of ability and prominence at Killingworth, and twice he served in the General Assembly from that town. In 1654-5, he was convicted of selling flax with defective weights, through carelessness in not having them inspected. In 1654, when an expedition against the Dutch was proposed, he was chosen corporal, "but only for this present service and that he accede no higher in any other office because he is not a freeman."

Bartlett) who m Caleb Stone and became the mother of seven children. We find no mention of this individual either in the Meigs book or any other Conn. source. In addition, the age of the mother at the time this child is said to have been born increases the improbability. Hence, Sarah, 2nd, is omitted here. John Meigs was the only son of Vincent Meigs, the immigrant of that family. Hence, the Wilcoxson strain flows today in every name-line descendant of Vincent Meigs. The Meigs family was one of uncommon lustre in the history of the colonies and the early republic. The family supplied many eminent military and civil officers during the Revolution and the period immediately following.

Notes for Edward Ketchum: Tracing of the roots of this Family Line goes back to Edward Catcham / Katcham / Ketcham who was mistakenly reported as being born in 1590 to 1595. This was published in a book about Ketcham Genealogy, but it was only an approximate date (or guess) of Edward’s birth date. THIS IS INCORRECT, as there has NEVER been a birth certificate found on Edward. If anyone has actual proof of Edward’s date of birth, please e-mail me with the details. Edward m1: Mary Hall in 1619 in England. They had at least 4 children, namely; Mary, John, Hester, and Anna (or Hannah). These 4 children are mentioned in Edward’s 1655 Will. Edward m2: Sarah Salmon in about 1635. They had at lest 5 children, namely; Sarah, Samuel, Edward, Joseph, and Rebecca (or Rebekah). There is controversy over two of these children, namely; Samuel and Edward. They could possibly be Edward’s grandsons, or so the story goes. That brings a possible question as to the other three children (Sarah, Joseph, Rebecca). None of the children from Edward’s second marriage were mentioned in Edward’s 1655 Will. Apparently, it is rumoured that genealogy researchers have assumed that these children from Edward’s second marriage are mentioned in the lacunae. Children of Edward Ketchum and Mary Hall are: i.

Notes for Thomas Sanford: Thomas Sanford was not only a successful man, but a thoughtful, sagacious man, deeply interested in his family's welfare.

His will indicated him to be an active, enterprising citizen, and bore his part in public matters, though he did not achieve distinction in a political way. (Source: Thomas Sanford Genealogy, c., 1911, p. 78) Much Hadham, a parish in the hundred of Edwinstree, county of Hertford, 4¼ miles (W.S.W.) from Bishop's Stortford, containing 1208 inhabitants. The living is a rectory with Little Hadham, within the peculiar jurisdiction of the Commissary of Essex and Herts, concurrently with the Consistorial Court of the Bishop of London, rated in the king's books at £66.13.4., and in the patronage of the Bishop of London. The church is dedicated to St. Andrew. The Independents have a place of worship here. There is a small endowment for the education of six boys and six girls. Here are the remains of a palace belonging to the Bishops of London, now a private residence. Dr. John Owen, an eminent non-conformist divine, was born at this place in 1616.

Notes for Edward Stevens: Courtesy: Kristen Ingram (writerlady@juno.com) Sir Edward , who was knight of Lypiatt Park and The manor ofLittle Sudbury, County Gloucester. He was born between1570-1582, since he is mentioned as a minor in 1590 (anotherreport says he was b. 1584, and yet another reports says he wasb.1590), died in 1670. He studied at the University of Oxford and the Middle Temple, London. He married Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Crewe, Knight of Northamptonshire, Speaker of the Houseof Commons, whose son was John, first Lord Crewe, of Storr. Theestates of Sir Edward Stephens, inherited from his father, areof great historical interest. Lypiatt Hall still survives inexcellent condition, rising on the slope of a hill overlookingthe valley of Stranconit. The Whittingtons held the manor underthe Plantagenets and by successive changes it passed into thepossession of Attorney General Stephens who was succeeded by SirEdward Stephens. It is stated in the history of Gloucestershireby Sir R. Ackyns that the Gunpowder Plot was concocted in thiscastle and the identical room is still pointed out. During thestormy days of the commonwealth the castle was garrisoned bythose in favor of Parliamentary interest with whick all theStephens family sided. in 1642 the castle was besieged by aroyalist military force in command of Sir Jacob Astley and aftera severe contest was captured with a loss of 51 men. Itsentrance is an embattled porch. The building is divided in thecenter by a hall, the ceiling of which has a classic fresco. Ithas towers and means of defense. The adjoining private chapel isof mediaeval constuction. The othe manor house of Little Sudburyis not so well preserved. The house was visited by Henry VIIIand Ane Boleyn in their royal progress. Sir Edward Stephenstook active part in the political turmoil in which he lived,siding with the Parliamentary Party in the controversy as longas the conflict was confined to a constitutional struggle andwas not armed against the royal person of Charles I. Sir Edwardwas an earnest lover of Old English liberty but when, after aclose relation to public affairs, he was convinced that theParliamentary leaders had gone too far and were a menace to theConstitution, he, with the large body of Conservatives, electedto suffer rather than share in the radical measures. Having beenan energetic member of the Long Parliament, he refusedmembership in the Rump Parliament and was one of those violentlyejected from the House of Commons by Colonel Pride in therevolutionary proceedings commonly known as "Pride's Purge".This indignity was later regarded as an honor. Sir EdwardStephens and Sir Matthew Hale were elected by all ofGloucestershire as the two knights of the shire to theRestorative Parliament and they favored the over- whelming wishof the English people for the restoration of the ancient line ofkings. Sir Edward had been a member of Parliament for Yorksburg,1640-41. He was secluded and confirmed as a prisoner of state bythe Parliamentary Party in 1648 when he turned against theirexcesses. He was rewarded for his patriotism by King Charles II,who conferred upon him the honor of knighthood July 11, 1660,within a few days after restoration had taken place. Sir Edwarddied in 1670. He had four children by his wife, Anne Crewe, thesecond child being John Stephens the progenitor of the AmericanStephens family of the Guildford and Killingworth branches.[AnneCrewe.ged] Sir Edward , who was knight of Lypiatt Park and The manor of Little Sudbury, County Gloucester. He was born between 1570-1582, since he is mentioned as a minor in 1590 (another report says he was b. 1584, and yet another reports says he was b.1590), died in 1670. He studied at the University of Oxford and the Middle Temple, London. He married Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Crewe, Knight of Northamptonshire, Speaker of the House of Commons, whose son was John, first Lord Crewe, of Storr. The estates of Sir Edward Stephens, inherited from his father, are of great historical interest. Lypiatt Hall still survives in excellent condition, rising on the slope of a hill overlooking the valley of Stranconit. The Whittingtons held the manor under the Plantagenets and by successive changes it passed into the possession of Attorney General Stephens who was succeeded by Sir Edward Stephens. It is stated in the history of Gloucestershire by Sir R. Ackyns that the Gunpowder Plot was concocted in this castle and the identical room is still pointed out. During the stormy days of the commonwealth the castle was garrisoned by those in favor of Parliamentary interest with whick all the Stephens family sided. in 1642 the castle was besieged by a royalist military force in command of Sir Jacob Astley and after a severe contest was captured with a loss of 51 men. Its entrance is an embattled porch. The building is divided in the center by a hall, the ceiling of which has a classic fresco. It has towers and means of defense. The adjoining private chapel is of mediaeval constuction. The othe manor house of Little Sudbury is not so well preserved. The house was visited by Henry VIII and Ane Boleyn in their royal progress. Sir Edward Stephens took active part in the political turmoil in which he lived, siding with the Parliamentary Party in the controversy as long as the conflict was confined to a constitutional struggle and was not armed against the royal person of Charles I. Sir Edward was an earnest lover of Old English liberty but when, after a close relation to public affairs, he was convinced that the Parliamentary leaders had gone too far and were a menace to the Constitution, he, with the large body of Conservatives, elected to suffer rather than share in the radical measures. Having been an energetic member of the Long Parliament, he refused membership in the Rump Parliament and was one of those violently ejected from the House of Commons by Colonel Pride in the revolutionary proceedings commonly known as "Pride's Purge". This indignity was later regarded as an honor. Sir Edward Stephens and Sir Matthew Hale were elected by all of Gloucestershire as the two knights of the shire to the Restorative Parliament and they favored the over- whelming wish of the English people for the restoration of the ancient line of kings. Sir Edward had been a member of Parliament for Yorksburg, 1640-41. He was secluded and confirmed as a prisoner of state by the Parliamentary Party in 1648 when he turned against their excesses. He was rewarded for his patriotism by King Charles II, who conferred upon him the honor of knighthood July 11, 1660, within a few days after restoration had taken place. Sir Edward died in 1670. He had four children by his wife, Anne Crewe, the second child being John Stephens the progenitor of the American Stephens family of the Guildford and Killingworth branches.

One daughter, Katherine, was the mother of John Harvard who founded Harvard University. When Shakespeare returned to Stratford-on-Avon in 1596, the news at the time was of the building of an ornate three-storied house, now called Harvard House, on High Street. It was built by Thomas Rogers to replace his old home destroyed in a fire. Harvard House has been well maintained and is a popular tourist site today. A picture of this house is featured on the Rogers' home page. He first appeared on the Stratford scene in 1561 and was a butcher in 1585. He was elected Capital Burgess, and later Alderman (Council Book S.) and served as Chamberlain in 1588, as Baliff (Mayor) in 1589 and 1595. He resigned as Alderman in 1609 on account of advanced age.

Notes for Edward Dymoke: [windlbank.ged] Edward Dymoke descended in the female line from Robert, Lord Marmyon, cousin to William the Conqueror and hereditary Champion to the Duke of Normandy through his descent from Rollo, the Dane. He fought at Hastings and was hereditary Champion at the Coronation of William and Matilda at Winchester 1068, holding Tamworth Castle and Scirvelsby Court in England and Fontenaye in Normandy for this service. The Dymokes still hold Scirvelsby under this tenure. The last exercise of this office was at the coronation of George IV when the Champion in full armor rode into the state dining hall, issued his challenge to any that might contest the King's right, drank to the King's health out of a golden cup that he retained for a fee, then backed his Horse out of the presence of the King.

He was the entailed Lord of the vast Furneaux estates, and is alleged to have earned and received Knighthood, through recognitin of military service performed. Besides his numerous entailures, he amassed a very considerable personal property; and altogether, was the representative of one of the wealthiest families of his section of England.
