2. Armand Leon Brown, b. Jan-27-1923 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[1]} d. Apr- 9-1985 in Doddridge Co, WV, buried Apr-11-1985 in Masonic Memorial Park Cemetery, Crystal Lake (West Union), WV, resided in Doddridge Co, WV, resided 1946 - 1974 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH, resided until 1945 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV, occupation A&P Grocery Produce Manager, education Doddridge Co H.S. (1941), military Apr- 6-1943 - Jan- 9-1946 S/Sgt, US Army Armor, World War II (Europe).^{^[2]}^{,^[3]}

Armand held several jobs as a youth, including doing custodial work at the West Union Post Office and pumping gas at the local filling station. After his 1941 graduation from Doddridge County High School, he worked at the A&P grocery store at the end of Main Street near the court house. He had a knack for working with fresh produce, much of which was displayed outside the store to attract customers. One person it attracted was a pretty teenager who walked by every morning on her way to school. Armand happened to be watching one day and saw her grab an apple and continue on her way. He rushed out of the store and demanded that she either return the apple or pay for it. We don't know what she ended up doing, because at this point in telling the story, Armand would always say "And that's how I met my wife. I caught her stealing apples." That teenage girl was Geneva Gaston, and they married a few years later. Although it was never made clear in the telling of the story, there's little doubt that far from being an apple thief, Geneva was simply trying to get the attention of someone special.

He married Aug-4-1946 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[4]} Geneva Pauline Gaston.

(1945), Salem College.

Graduate of Doddridge County High School (1945) and attended Salem College, Salem, WV, 1945-46. Worked for two years in the office of the Ford garage in West Union. Upon her marriage to Armand Brown in 1946, she moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where Armand's family had moved from West Union while he was overseas during World War II. From 1962 to 1974, she worked as cashier and office worker for A&P food stores in Youngstown and vicinity. In June 1974, with Armand's heart problems preventing him from continuing his job with A&P in Youngstown, they returned to Doddridge County, moving into the house on Oxford Road, at Cabin Run, where Geneva had lived with her family for about five years prior to her marriage. From then until his death in 1985, Armand and Geneva operated what had been her parents' small grocery store adjacent to the family home, changing the name from Gaston's Grocery to Brown's Grocery. With her brother Sam, Geneva was a driving force and principal compiler of this genealogy.

Grandparents

4. Addison Avery Brown, b. Aug- 1-1881 in Verndale, Wadena Co, MN,^{^[9]}^{,^[10]} d. Jan-13-1954 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH, buried in Lake Park Cemetery, Youngstown, OH,^{^[11]} resided in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH,⁵ resided 1910 - 1943 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^{5,^[12],^[13]} resided 1893 - 1910 in Chehalis County (now Grays Harbor Co), WA,^{^[14]}^,10 resided originally in Verndale, Wadena Co, MN, census 1910 in Montesano, Chehalis (now Grays Harbor) Co, WA, census 1900 in Satsop, Chehalis (now Grays Harbor) Co, WA, census 1885 in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, MN, occupation glass-blower (in WV) and steel mill worker (in OH).⁵

Born in Minnesota in 1881, Addison Brown moved from there to the state of Washington with his father in June 1893. Federal Census data of Jun 5 1900 identifies Addison Y. [sic] Brown, age 19, residing in Satsop, Chehalis County (now known as Grays Harbor County), Washington as a servant and farm laborer in the household of Edward F. Foster, b. Aug 1862 in Idaho. Addison's birthdate was given as Aug 1880 [sic], birthplace Minnesota, father's birthplace Massachusetts, mother's birthplace New York. Edward Foster's wife Mary was shown as born in Apr 1864 in West Virginia. The Fosters' neighbors were the family of Jasper and Virginia Mowry; they and the oldest five of their seven children were born in West Virginia, the younger two born in Washington. We can only speculate that it was through the Fosters and/or the Mowrys that Addison was somehow introduced to Nancy "Babe" Haught and eventually came to West Virginia. This is supported by the fact that Jasper Mowry appeared in the 1870 Census of Doddridge County (New Milton Twp) as the 9-year-old son of George & Mary Mowry, and that Jasper N. Mowry & Jennie (nickname for Virginia) Knight were married in Doddridge County on Mar 10 1856.

Census data of April 19 1910 states that Addison Brown was a 28-year-old laborer living in Montesano Precinct, County of Chehalis (now Grays Harbor County), Washington, with place of birth as Minnesota in 1881, residing as a "hired man" in the household of John C. Smith (age 52, born in Wisconsin) and his wife of 27 years, Jennie C. (age 47, born in West Virginia), and their children. Addison must have come to West Virginia soon thereafter, as he and Nancy "Babe" Haught were married Dec 20 1910 in West Union, and daughter Waneta was born Oct 23, 1911.

1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Jan 3 1920 at 111 Wabash Avenue:

A. A. Brown, 38, b. Minnesota, both parents b. Minnesota, occupation truck-dray driver; wife Babe Brown, 33; step-dau Clella Haught, 15; dau Jaunita Brown, 8; son Vernon A. Brown, 2 months.

Stated birthplace of Addison's parents is clearly in error.

1930 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Apr 14 1930 (location appears to be one of several households at 317 E. Main St.):

Addison A. Brown, 47, b. Minnesota, both parents b. Minnesota, occupation salesman at feed store, age 26 at first marriage; wife Babe, 43, age 22 at first marriage, b. WV, father b. Pa., mother b. WV; dau Mabel W, 18; son Vernon A, 10; son Armond L, 7.

Again, the stated birthplace of Addison's parents is in error. Daughter Mabel W. Brown was better known as Waneta Brown; with her name appearing as Juanita Brown, she had been enumerated a week earlier in Harrison County in the household of half-sister Clella and her husband Lawrence Ingram.

1940 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Town of West Union), enumerated on Apr 29 1940 at 304 Cottage Ave:

A. A. Brown, 59, b. Minnesota, laborer; wife Babe, 52, b. WVa; son Vernon, 20, single, laborer at cleaning & pressing shop; son Armand, 17. (Note: It is known from immediate family that in 1940 Addison Brown was employed as a delivery truck driver for the L. A. Hess Transfer Company of Fairmont, WV.)

In an affidavit dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of Addison's birthdate, Addison stated that his family had moved to Montesano, Washington when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

Addison always told his son Armand that his only living relative not descended from him was a cousin, Edith Maria Weeden, whose address was 10 Guernsey Street, Norwich (Chenango County), NY. We have since determined that Edith Weeden was the wife of Archer Lewis Weeden (b. Mar 18 1870) (married May 20 1891) and was born Edith Maria Terwilliger in New York on Feb 13 1873, daughter of Andrew Jackson Terwilliger (1829-1904) and Mary Esther Sanders (1842-1919) (married Dec 12 1871). Census data shows that Mary Esther Sanders was a sister of Almira Sanders, Addison's mother. It was Edith Maria Weeden who in January 1943 provided an affidavit supporting the filing of Addison's delayed birth certificate in Verndale, Wadena County, Minnesota.

He married Dec-20-1910 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[15]}^{,^[16]} Nancy Lou "Babe" Haught.

5. Nancy Lou "Babe" Haught, b. Jan-19-1884 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[33]} d. Sep-23-1977 in Coshocton, Coshocton Co, OH,^{5,^[34]} buried in Lake Park Cemetery, Youngstown, OH,^{^[35]} resided (nursing home) in Coshocton, Coshocton Co, OH,^{5,^[36]} resided formerly in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH,^5,34 resided originally in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV.⁵

Nancy was always sensitive about her age, and no one in the family was ever sure exactly when she was born. The official Jan 19 1884 birth date was provided at the time of the delayed recording of her birth record in 1944 and was based principally on the testimony of her sister Rosa. Age 23 given at time of Dec 1910 marriage would put birth date in 1887, as would age 43 in the 1930 Census. The SSDI reports her birth date as Jan 19 1885, while her headstone shows her birth date as Jan 19 1889, also incorrect. A birth date of Jan 1882 was given in the 1900 Census, correctly placing her between older sister Icy Dell (listed as b. Jul 1880) and younger brother John Homer (b. Nov 1883). An analysis of the 1900 Census data for that household leads to the conclusion that Nancy and siblings Elizabeth, Icy & Homer seem to have shifted their birthdates in later years to make themselves appear a few years younger than they were. In Nancy's case, the shift seems to have occurred at about the time of the 1910 Census (when she was listed as being only 4 years older than in the 1900 Census), as her given age stayed fairly consistent after that. In the end, although we list her birth date as January 1884 to conform with her official birth record, the likelihood is that she was actually born in January 1882 as indicated in the 1900 Census.

She married (2) Dec-20-1910 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^15,16 Addison Avery Brown.

Very little has been found regarding Ammi Almanzia Brown and wife Almira Sanders. It is not known for sure when or where they were married or when they moved to Minnesota. Born in Massachusetts in 1829, Ammi was found in the 1840 Census with his parents and brother residing in Burlington, Otsego Co, NY. He was next found in the 1860 Census residing in Crawford County, Wisconsin with his first wife, Deborah, and their two children. (Further evidence of this first marriage is his 1898 application to the Washington Soldiers Home, on which he stated that he had two children, ages 44 and 16.) He was a resident of Palmyra, Jefferson Co, Wisconsin in Aug 1862 when he entered military service for the Civil War. Ammi's and Almira's marriage must have occurred upon Ammi's return from Civil War duties, as they are found together in the 1870 Census in Guilford, Chenango Co, New York. They were next found in the 1885 Census of Wadena Co, Minnesota, with son Addison.

Circumstances taking Ammi from Minnesota to the state of Washington in 1893 are unknown. An affidavit by son Addison Avery Brown, dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of Addison's birthdate, stated that his family had moved from Minnesota to Montesano, Washington, when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

If Almira died in about 1888, as is likely based on son Addison's twice testifying as much, there is evidence that Ammi twice remarried. The first re-marriage was confirmed by the discovery of an item in the Tacoma Daily News of Sep 10 1894, which reported that Ammi A. Brown had filed for divorce from Deborah S. Brown on the grounds of desertion after only three days of marriage. A news item in the Nov 12 1894 issue of that newspaper stated in its entirety "Armi [sic] A. Brown has been divorced from Deborah S. Brown." Just over three years later, Ammi's marital status was listed as married on his Feb 1898 application to the Washington Soldiers Home. But on his March 1899 application to the Soldiers Home, his entry for marital status was "She has left me, I do not know where she is." Correspondence from fourth wife Rachel A. Brown, and others, found in his Soldiers Home file shows that Ammi and Rachel were married on Jun 27 1895 in Tacoma, and that she left him in Spring 1898. A letter from her dated Sep 29 1899 indicates that she had not been informed of Ammi's death three months before, supporting his contention that she had deserted him.

Addison Avery Brown always gave his parents' names as Ammi Almanzia Brown and Almira Saunders (or Sanders), and official records support that. But Addison's obituary identified his parents as Adli Brown and Rachel Sanders. The basis for that information is not known, other than an apparent confusion of his mother with his stepmother. Ammi's middle name Almanzia has been found in only two documents, son Addison's delayed birth certificate, and Addison's application to the Modern Woodmen of America.

Addison's birth certificate, which was not registered until 1943 when he was a longtime resident of Doddridge County, WV, identified his father as Ammi Almanzia Brown, age 54 at the time of Addison's 1881 birth, born in Massachusetts, occupation carpenter; and his mother as Almira Saunders Brown, age 39 at time of Addison's birth, born in New York. Information supporting the delayed filing was provided in affidavit by Edith Maria Weeden, 20 Brown Avenue, Norwich, Chenango County, NY, who was identified as Addison's cousin. Addison always told his son Armand that Edith was Addison's only living relative outside the immediate family.

Civil War Service Records reflect that Ammi A. Brown, a resident of Palmyra, Wisconsin, served as a Private with Co A of the Wisconsin 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment from Aug 1862 to Jun 1865. Applications to the Washington Soldiers Home in 1897, 1898 and 1899 show this to be the same Ammi A. Brown, born Sep 13 1829 in Boston MA, carpenter by trade, who was the husband of Almira and the father of Addison. He applied for a Civil War pension on Sep 16 1890, classification "Invalid," which may correspond to what is now called "disabled."

1840 Census, Burlington, Otsego Co, New York:

Household of Ammi T. Brown

1 male age 40-50 (this would be Ammi T. Brown, who we know from the 1870 Census was born about 1799)

1 male age 10-15 (i.e., Ammi A. Brown, b. 1829)

1 male age 5-10

1 female age 40-50

No record of Ammi Brown was found in any 1850 Census.

1860 Census, Crawford Co, Wisconsin:

Ami Brown, 30, b. New York, occupation (blank); Deborah, 28, b. New York; Ida, 6, b. New York; Edwin, 2, b. Wisconsin.

Although our Ammi Brown was not born in New York, he did live there before coming to Wisconsin. Despite the discrepancy, this appears to be our Ammi with his first wife and their children (Edwin later appears with him in the 1870 Census). Ammi was a resident of Wisconsin when he entered the military in 1862.

1870 Census, town of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY:

Ami Brown, 39, b. Massachusetts, occup house carpenter; Almira Brown, 28, b. New York; Edwin Brown, 11, b. Wisconsin; Ami Brown, 71, b. Connecticut, occup carpenter & joiner.

Although relationships are not stated, it would appear that the elder Ammi is the father of the younger, who in turn is the father of Edwin. Based on the earlier census, Edwin's mother was Deborah, not Almira. No entry for this Edwin Brown was found in any subsequent census.

No entry for Ammi Brown was found in the 1880 Census, although we know that he was in Minnesota for the birth of son Addison in 1881.

The 1880 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, Albert A. Brown, age 40, carpenter, born in New York; and Almira Brown, age 35, his wife, born in New York, her father born in Connecticut, and her mother born in New York. Despite the discrepancies, the possibility cannot be discounted that this is the couple in question. The same Census shows Charles W. Brown, age 35, born in New York, father born in Connecticut, mother born in New York. Given ages and locations, these two Browns could be brothers or other close relatives.

The 1885 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena County, A. A. Brown, age 53, born in Massachusetts; Almira Brown, age 41, born in New York; and Addison (misspelled Adison), age 3, born in Minnesota.

Minnesota Land Records, Document 16156, St. Cloud Land Office, on file at U.S. Bureau of Land Management, show that Ammi A. Brown purchased 80 acres of land on Dec 16 1890, with the following legal description: Aliquot Parts S1/2SE, Base Line 5TH PM, Fractional Section No, Township 134 N, Range 34 W, Section # 4.

In "The Famous & Not So Famous," published by the Verndale Historical Society in 1987, it is noted that the relationship between the many Brown families who settled there has not been entirely determined. Of the many pages devoted to settlers of the Brown surname, only the following three entries appear regarding this one: (1) "Architect and Builder. I am prepared to take contracts for erecting buildings of all kinds. Plans and specifications furnished on short notice. Stair building a specialty." [Wadena County Tribune, Dec 5 1878, attributed to A. A. Brown] (2) "A. A. Brown has erected a barn near Verndale." [Verndale Journal, Dec 26 1879] (3) "The A. A. Brown Furniture, 1882, is mentioned in 'Bartlett Township History,' Volume I." It is noted that there were apparently two A. A. Browns, Ammi Almanzia and Albert A., who were carpenters and residing in Verndale at that time.

Based strictly on the two Censuses and on son Addison's birth certificate, Ammi would have been born either ca 1840, ca 1832 (most likely), or ca 1827; but entries on his applications to the Washington Soldiers' Home consistently and specifically state his birth date as Sep 13 1829. Ammi Almanzia Brown was thought by family lore to have died at age 74 of apoplexy, although son Addison, born in 1881, recalled that he was about 18 at the time of his father's death, which would have been shortly after Ammi's last admission to the Washington Soldiers' Home in Orting, Pierce Co, WA in 1899. Discovery of his grave at the Washington Soldiers Home Cemetery in Orting shows that Ammi Brown's death occurred on Jun 20 1899, also reflected in Pierce County death records.

(Note: Cara's last name actually was probably something other than Brown, since Rachel and Ammi Brown were married just five years before.)

The remainder of the household consisted of seven boarders: David Mannanson, 30, b. 1870 in Minnesota, occupation carpenter, married 10 yrs; Steven Mannanson, 8, b. 1892 in Michigan; Pearl Mannanson, 1, b.

9. Almira Sanders, b. ca 1843 in New York,^{^[77]} d. ca 1888 in Minnesota,^{^[78]} resided 1885 in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, MN,^{^[79]} census 1870 in Guilford, Chenango Co, NY, census 1850, 1860 in Norwich, Chenango Co, NY.

Addison Avery Brown always gave his mother's name as Almira Saunders and stated that she was one-half American Indian. Almira's birth was in New York sometime between 1840 and 1844, based on the following: Age 9 at 1850 Census would put it in about 1841, age 20 at 1860 Census would put it in about 1840, age 41 at 1885 Census would put it in about 1844, and Addison's birth certificate gives her age at his birth as 39, putting her birth in about 1842. But with her sister Mary's birth date confirmed in both the 1900 Census and her death record as Feb 1842, and with Almira appearing in the 1850 Census one year younger than Mary, Almira's birth date is more likely to be about 1843.

Almira was with her parents and siblings in the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Norwich, Chenango Co, NY, and she was with husband Ammi (and his father and son from a previous marriage) in the 1870 Census of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY.

Almira was not found in the Census of 1880. That year's census of Wadena County, Minnesota, lists an Almira as the wife of Albert A. Brown, giving her age as 35 (b. ca 1845) and reports her father's birthplace as Connecticut, and her mother's as New York. Despite the similarities in names and locations, this does not appear to be the same couple.

The 1885 Minnesota Census places her in the household of A. A. Brown with son Addison, identifies her as Almira and gives her age as 41 (b. ca 1844), birthplace New York.

No entry for her was found in the 1900 or subsequent censuses.

In an affidavit filed by son Addison in 1935 to establish his date of birth, he stated that his mother had died when he was about age six. This would put her death in about 1887 or 1888. In 1915, in an application for membership in the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal beneficiary society, Addison stated that his mother died at age 44 of "inflammation of bowels." This would also put her death in about 1888. One question on that application was "Which do you resemble in general characteristics, father or mother?," to which Addison stated that it was his mother. This is noteworthy because Addison did have certain facial characteristics associated with American Indians.

Information provided at Addison's funeral identified his mother as Rachel Sanders. This reference is believed to be the result of confusing Addison's mother Almira with his stepmother Rachel. A funeral card found in family papers identified the deceased as Rachel A. Brown, died Feb 1 1904, age 53y 10m 25d, location not given. Based on age at death, the birth date would be Mar 7 1850. Through Veterans records, we have determined that Rachel was Ammi's fourth wife.

Thus, there is still some uncertainty as to the exact identity and birth/death dates of the wife of Ammi Brown and the mother of Addison. It does appear fairly certain, however, that her parents were Henry J. Sanders and Olive Mowry. If Almira died in 1887 or 1888 as stated by Addison, the location would likely have been in Minnesota, since she was there in 1885, husband Ammi is known from a land purchase to have been there in 1890, and his move to Washington State occurred in 1893.

When John Morris Gaston and Elizabeth Hart were buried in the family cemetery in 1927 and 1921, respectively, no permanent marker was put in place.

The likely origin of Launa Capitola Bowyer's middle name was the popular culture of that time. Capitola "Black Cap" Black was the spunky, cross-dressing heroine of "The Hidden Hand: Or, Capitola the Madcap" (serialized 1859, published in book form 1888) by Mrs. E.D.E.N. [Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte] Southworth (1819-1899). Searchable census indexes for 1860 and 1870 bring up 202 and 595 Capitolas respectively, suggesting the popularity of serial fiction in general, and of this novel in particular. Towns in California (www.capitola.net) and Texas (extinct) were named for this heroine. [Source: The Daily Genealogist blog at AmericanAncestors.org]

They had no children of their own, but James Blaine Gaston and his wife Hazel raised a boy who was said to have been left on their doorstep. The boy went by the name Jack Gaston, until his late teens when he changed his name and ran away. The boy died sometime between 1974 and 1978, with the funeral held in Salem, WV. Some family members speculate that the boy was born to the unmarried sister of his foster mother Hazel May Yeater.

16. Ammi Tufts Brown, birth name Amma Tufts Brown, census name Amina Brown,^{^[216]} b. Nov-22-1799 in Brooklyn, Windham Co, CT,^{^[217]}^,76 d. btwn 1870 - 1874 in New York [Probable, but not confirmed. The 1870 Census was the last record we have of Ammi T. Brown. He did not appear with son Ammi A in the 1874-75 Elmira city directory, as he had in the 1869-70 Chenango County business directory.], census 1870 in Guilford, Chenango Co, NY, resided 1869 in New Berlin, Chenango Co, NY,⁶⁷ census 1850 in Pittsfield, Otsego Co, NY, census 1840 in Burlington, Otsego Co, NY, occupation carpenter & joiner.⁷⁶

The birth of Ammi T. Brown is documented in "Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection)," Brooklyn Vital Records, Vol. 1, p. 232, in which he is identified as Amma Tufts Brown, b. Nov 22 1799 in Brooklyn, Connecticut, son of Rufus & Mary. Although other variations of his name have been found in census records, he seems to have generally identified himself as Ammi T. Brown. He was named for his uncle, Ammi Tufts, the husband of his mother's sister Lucy.

His marriage to Annis is documented only by their appearance together in the 1850 Census of Otsego County, New York. Other than the births of his sons Ammi A. in Boston in 1829 and Andrew in New York in 1834, we have no record of Ammi T. Brown's whereabouts between his birth in Connecticut in 1799 and his appearance in the 1840 Census in Otsego County.

1840 Census, Burlington, Otsego Co, New York:

Household of Ammi T. Brown

1 male age 40-50 (i.e., Ammi T. Brown, who we know from his birth record was born in 1799)

1 male age 10-15 (i.e., son Ammi A. Brown, b. 1829)

1 male age 5-10 (i.e., son Andrew Brown, who we know from the 1900 Census was born Sep 1834)

1 female age 40-50 (i.e., wife Annis Brown, who we know from the 1850 Census was born about 1801)

1850 Census, Pittsfield, Otsego Co, New York, enumerated on Sep 6 1850:

Amina Brown, male, 50, b. Connecticut, occup house joiner; Annis Brown, female, 49, b. New York; Andrew Brown, male, 15, b. New York, farmer.

1870 Census, town of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY:

Ami Brown, 39, b. Massachusetts, occup house carpenter; Almira Brown, 28, b. New York; Edwin Brown, 11, b. Wisconsin; Ami Brown, female, 71, b. Connecticut, occup carpenter & joiner.

Ami is clearly a misspelling of Ammi, and labeling the elder Ami (Ammi) a female is considered to be a clerical error, especially in view of the listed occupation.

No record of this Ammi Brown was found in any 1860 or 1880 Census.

The 1830 Census of Adams, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, had the following entry:

Household of Arnum Brown

1 male age 30-40

1 male under 5

2 females age 20-30

1 female under 5

Despite the name variance, the handwriting is not entirely clear, and the possibility cannot be discounted that this is the household of Ammi T. Brown.

"Gazetteer and Business Directory of Chenango County, N.Y. for 1869-70," compiled & published by Hamilton Child in 1869, p. 205, has the following consecutive entries for the town of New Berlin:

"BROWN, AMMI A., (South New Berlin), carpenter and joiner.

Brown, Ammi T., (South New Berlin), lot 41, T. 16, house joiner and farmer."

The preface to the publication states "Name set in CAPITALS indicates subscribers to this work." It also states "Post Office Addresses in Parentheses" and explains that "T." stands for Township.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychenan/69nbrlin.htm

A similar publication five years later, "Boyd's Elmira and Corning Directory" for 1874-75, published by Andrew Boyd and W. Harry Boyd, contains the following entry on page 58: "Brown Ammi A., carpenter, h 258 W Hudson ." The key to abbreviations indicates that the "h" stands for house.

Since there was no entry for Ammi T. Brown, we can only speculate that he may have died in the intervening five years. He also was not found in the 1880 Census.

http://www.joycetice.com/director/1874p058.htm

The name Ammi is from the Hebrew, meaning "my people."

1900 Census, Otsego Co, NY (Otego Twp), enumerated on Jun 14 1900:

Andrew Brown, 65, b. Sep 1834 in NY, both parents b. NY, farmer, married 42 yrs; wife Malvina, 59, b. Jan 1841 in NY, both parents b. NY, mother of 2 children (one still living).

1910 Census, Otsego Co, NY (town of Otego), enumerated on Otsdawa Creek Road on Apr 21 1910:

Andrew J. Brown, 76, b. NY, both parents b. NY, dairy farmer, married 53 yrs; wife Malvina R. Brown, 68, b. NY, father b. Connecticut, mother b. NY, mother of 2 children (one still living); servant Gaby Beckwith, white male, 44, b. NY, both parents b. in U.S., single, occupation laborer on dairy farm.

It is noted that the birthplace of Andrew's father is given as New York, rather than Connecticut, and that there is an inconsistency with the birthplace of Malvina's father. We consider these to be errors, probably due to the fact that Andrew's father Ammi lived nearly his entire life in New York.

17. Annis ___, b. ca 1801 in New York,²¹⁶ census 1850 in Pittsfield, Otsego Co, NY, census 1840 in Burlington, Otsego Co, NY.

Other than her birthplace and approximate birth date from the 1850 Census, we have found no information regarding Annis, wife of Ammi T. Brown. The 1850 Census is the last record that we have of her. Her death was presumably between 1850 and 1870, since husband Ammi was found without her in the 1870 Census. No 1860 census record was found for either of them.

The name Annis is a medieval (both English and Scottish) form of Agnes much used by some colonial families. It is often misread as ‘Annie,’ a diminutive not used as a formal name much before the nineteenth century.

Sep- -1809,^{^[226]} [In the1920 Census, son David Haught stated his father's birthplace as Pennsylvania and his mother's as West Virginia; but in the several censuses that included Peter B. Haught himself, he provided his own birthplace as Virginia. This is likely in present-day West Virginia, probably Monongalia County near the Pennsylvania border.], d.

Independent Exempt Inf, Civil War,^{87,^[230],^[231]} [The 1890 Veterans Schedule entry for Peter B. Haught, which was based solely on information provided by his widow Bashaba, indicated that he had served for 1 yr 5 mo, with a discharge date of June 1865. But monthly company muster rolls completed at the time of his service clearly show that he enlisted in Doddridge County for a period of three years on Dec 8 1862 with a muster-in date of Jan 9 1863 at Wheeling, and that he was mustered out in Wheeling on Apr 23 1864. His length of service thus corresponds to the 1890 Veterans Schedule, but with different dates. He seems to have understated his age by ten years during his military service. The two companies of the W.Va. Independent Exempt Infantry were stationed at Wheeling, the state capital, to perform guard and escort duties.].

Peter B. Haught, presumably a descendant of Paul Haught of Holland, came into Monongalia Co, (W)VA, from Fayette Co, PA, and purchased a farm of 117 acres, on Statler's Run, on Sep 28, 1837. In 1845 he sold this land and lived in Greene Co, PA, for a short time, later relocating to Doddridge County, West Virginia, near the Ritchie County line. As explained below, his exact parentage has not been definitively determined.

According to the 1948 W. B. Haught genealogy, Peter Haught I was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1720. He married there in about 1747 and sailed from there on the ship Patience, landing at Philadelphia on Sep 9, 1751, with his wife and daughter Elizabeth. Sometime prior to 1755, he settled near the present town of Moorefield, in what is now Hardy County, WV. His son, Peter Haught II, was born in the South Branch valley on July 1, 1755. (This is presumably the Peter Haut, age 95, listed in the 1850 Census of Monongalia County, along with six other household members.) Peter Haught I had another son by a second wife in 1790.

Peter Haught I had three brothers who also came to America: (1) Tobias Haught, who never married; (2) Henry Haught, who had sons John, Nicholas and Peter, the latter killed at Fort Meigs on Feb 23, 1813; and (3) Paul Haught, who is thought to be the ancestor of the Peter B. Haught (1809-1883) of this genealogy.

Paul Haught came to Statler's Run in 1776 and marked a settlement right on a tract of land near the location of his nephew, Peter Haught II, and Richard Tennant. There is no evidence of Paul's return to this settlement right, but two of his sons, John and Jacob, came and claimed the land as heirs of Paul Haught, and had it surveyed on April 6, 1785. Their patent on this tract of 324 acres is dated Oct 25, 1792. On April 4, 1800, they sold 169 acres of the tract to Peter Tennant (son-in-law of Peter Haught I), and on Oct 8, 1804, they sold the remaining 155 acres to Samuel Varner. John Haught and his wife Catherine acknowledged the deed in Monongalia County, while Jacob Haught and his wife Magdaline Haught acknowledged in Fayette Co, PA. John Haught lived in Monongalia County for a few years, owning land on Days Run, and on Dunkard Creek, near Blacksville. His deed for the Dunkard Creek land, to John Johnson, is dated Aug 2, 1806. He moved to Fayette Co, PA. Amos Haught, apparently another son of Paul Haught, was assistant to Samuel Hanway, Surveyor of Monongalia Co, and made two surveys of farm lands in November 1783. Peter Haught, who purchased land on Sandy Creek on March 7, 1815, must have been another son of Paul Haught, as both Peter Haught I and his brother Henry had sons whom they named Peter. [Haught, W. B., "Genealogy of the Haught Family of America," 1948, pp 1, 112 and 165]

Monongalia County marriage records show a marriage between Peter Haught and Elizabeth Jenkins on Aug 16 1803. A marriage bond was issued in Monongalia Co (W)VA on Jan 1 1838 for Peter Hought, Jr. and Rachel Wilson, daughter of William Wilson. The spelling Hought is presumably a variation or misspelling of Haught. ["Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine," Vol 64, No. 11, Nov 1930, p. 705]

Adding to the confusion of the many Peter Haughts in that region at that time is this entry from "Chronicles of Core," p. 5: "Certificates granted by the commissioners for adjusting the claims to unpatented lands on the westernwaters for the county of Monongalia in February, March and April 1781 include the following .... Peter Haught, Senior, 400 acres on Statlers Run, adjoining lands of Henry Smith, to include his improvement made in 1776." Core also makes reference (p. 6) to Richard Tennant, "the ancestor of a very large and important family still living in Monongalia country, came from Glasgow, Scotland, about 1760, selling his time for seven years to pay his passage. About 1769 he married Elizabeth Haught, who was of German descent, at Moorefield, Hardy County, Va.... after serving in the Revolutionary War for a time, came and settled on Jake Statlers Run. His brother-in-law, Peter Haught, came with him." [Core cites Wiley, in "History of Monongalia County, p. 26]

Another Elizabeth Haught of that time is also cited by Core (p. 45): "Elizabeth Piles (nee Haught) died March 18, 1834, aged 49 years, 6 months, and 27 days, and was buried in the Price Cemetery. She was the wife of John Piles, son of Zechariah Piles by his second wife, Susannah." Her age at death would put her birthdate at Aug 19 1784.

Very near the grave of Peter B. Haught is a marker for Nancy L. (Postlewait) Britton, who was born about 1853 in Ritchie County, a daughter of Isaac & Mary Ann (Haught) Postleweight. Mary Ann Haught was born about 1819 in Pennsylvania, parents not known. But the proximity of her daughter's grave to that of Peter B. Haught would suggest a close relationship, perhaps siblings.

Other researchers have reported the parents of Peter B. Haught variously as [1] Jacob Haught (1767-ca 1849) & Magdalena Croushour (1767-1815), [2] Johan (or John) Peter Haught (ca 1786 - ca 1844) & Sarah Sally Carver (1794-1843), and [3] Paul Haught & unknown. For ourselves, until a definitive connection surfaces, the parents of Peter B. Haught must remain an unsolved mystery.^{^[232]}^{,^[233],^[234]}

First name has appeared variously as Almina and Elmina, although the latter is by far the most predominant. Middle name Ellen obtained from birth record of son James P. Smith. Although her marriage record indicates her middle initial as C, this may be a matter of interpreting the handwritten entry. Headstone clearly reads "Elmina E."

Identified in her obituary as Mary A. Haught, daughter of John H. Gaston and Jane Pritchard Gaston. Basis for middle initial "A" is not known, as her middle name has been determined to be Martha and her headstone clearly identifies her as Mary M. Conversely, the obituary of her son Marvel L. Haught identifies her as Mary Ellen Gaston, and she appears in the 1850 Census as Mary E. Gaston, age 6 months. Her own obituary reads in part: "Mrs. Haught was born and reared and spent her entire long and useful life on the same farm in South West District. She was well known to many of the citizens of Doddridge County and was loved and revered by all who knew her; she was always kind and generous to the poor and was always attentive and helpful to the citizens of her community in times of sickness and distress. She lived a useful life, retaining her memory and optimism of life until a few days before she was called. When her life's work was finished, she fell asleep, assuring her relatives and friends that she was prepared to the change and that all was well with her."

Doddridge Co birth records (Book 3, Page 91) show an unnamed male Haught born to J. C. Haught and Anna E. Haught on June 28, 1898. Unclear whether this is one of the seven more fully identified children known to have been born to this couple.

The will of Peter B. Haught (Will Book 1, p. 133, dated Jun 6 1883) left all to two of his sons, M. L. & D. M. Haught. As for son John, the will stated "I consider that John C. Haught have got his share in Hogs, Cattle and money. But I give and bequeath him five dollars when my business is all settled."

Spelling of name appears in various forms as Bashaba (headstone), Barsheba (father's will), Bathsheba (1870 Census), Basheba, etc. Birthplace possibly Buckhannon, Upshur Co, WV.

22. William M. Watson, b. ca 1818 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^{^[255]}^,183,92,44 d.

There is some question as to the date and place of birth of this William M. Watson. Age 45 given at time of 1860 Census would put birth in about 1815, while age given for the 1870 and 1880 Census would put birth ca 1819. Age 53 given at time of his second marriage, in Sep 1871, would put birth ca 1818. Age 72 given at the time of his death in Feb 1890 would put birth ca 1817 or 1818. His place of birth is given as Harrison County in the record of his second marriage, but as Mercer County in his death record. Harrison County would seem more likely.

Civil War records on file at Doddridge County Court House show that W. E. Crichfield [sic] enlisted in the Union Army on Jan 3 1862. According to his grave marker, he was a member of Company M, 6th West Virginia Infantry, with rank of Private. His death occurred on Aug 10 1864 in Cumberland, MD, and was the result of falling from a window of a hospital building. He was buried in the Nutter Cemetery on the Maxwell Farm in Doddridge County. Location of the cemetery was specified as "4.0 miles west of Porto Rico on Route 23. Cemetery 400 ft. north of highway." This corresponds to oral family history provided by Walter Ray "Shiner" Husk, who advised that a headstone does exist for William, but not for his wife Malinda buried beside him.

Some researchers report the parents of Nancy Nutter, the wife of William Watson, as James Nutter (1773-1833) and Julia Ann Davisson (1775-1826), a relationship that is at variance with substantiated facts about her. Nancy Nutter Watson's death record in Doddridge County states that she was born in Barbour Co, (W)VA, the daughter of "A. Nutter." While Barbour County is inconsistent with the reported birthplaces (Harrison and Doddridge Counties) of her siblings and may be incorrect, we do know that her husband William Watson's family had resided for some time in Barbour County, and that her two oldest children were also born in Barbour County. As far as can be determined, James Nutter and Julia Ann Davisson spent their entire lives in Harrison County and had no known Barbour County connections.

Adding to the confusion is the Nutter genealogy compiled by Donald Norman, based on Barr Wilson's work, listing among the children of James Nutter & Julia Ann Davisson, and also among the children of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, a daughter named Nancy who married a William Watson. That there would be two Nancy Nutters who married two William Watsons in that region and time frame seems very unlikely. However, we do know that a Nancy Nutter married a William Watson in Harrison County on Oct 22 1840 (or possibly Mar 4 1841, based on interpretation of the handwritten marriage record; a Marriage Bond was executed in Harrison County on Sep 1 1840 by Nancy Nutter's parents, Anda (sic) & Malinda Nutter, and also signed by her brother Willis Nutter and by Otha G. Watson, half-brother of William M. Watson). There is nothing in the marriage record itself (MR Bk 3, p. 145) reflecting the parentage or exact identity of either person, leaving open the possibility that it was a different Nancy Nutter, a different William Watson, or both. But the family members mentioned in the marriage bond should dispel any doubt.

No other marriage record for William or Nancy was found in Harrison, Doddridge or Barbour Counties. Given all the evidence and circumstances, we conclude that it was this Nancy Nutter, daughter of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, who married William Watson.

24. Eli Morris Gaston, b. Aug- 3-1822 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^{^[295]} d. Jan-27-1909 in Doddridge Co, WV,¹⁰⁶ [A newspaper memoriam in the West Union Record of Feb 12 1909 indicated his death date as Jan 28 1909, also reported by family members. But Doddridge County death records indicate Jan 27 1909.], buried in Gaston Family Cemetery, Upper Run, Summers, Doddridge Co WV, census 1870, 1880, 1900 in Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV, census 1850, 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA, occupation minister and farmer.

The Methodist Protestant Church was introduced into Doddridge County, WV by Eli Morris Gaston and his brother Daniel. These two young men came onto the headwaters of Hughes River in 1843 and purchased several thousand acres of wooded land where they established homes. Eli and his wife Rulina set up housekeeping in a one-room log cabin on Gaston Run in December 1846. Later they constructed a two-story log home where they spent their entire married lives. This house burned down in 1910.

In 1846 the Gaston brothers succeeded in having a Methodist Protestant minister come into the new settlement and preach at Eli's home. Arrangements were made for regular services, and the people built a log house for school and church services. The new house was named Harmony because of the fine spirit of harmony and cooperation among the people composing the new settlement. In 1866 the old log house was replaced by a neat frame building which served the congregation until 1901, when a large modern house of worship was built. The Reverend Mortimer Ireland (b. 8/8/1835) was pastor at that time. Charter members included Eli Morris Gaston and Daniel Gaston and their wives, J. E. Strother and his wife, John Hart and wife, S. M. Gaston and wife, and Samuel Richards. Others who joined later included R. Husk and wife, Isaac Hileman and wife, John I. Gaston and wife, T. W. Chapman and wife, J. S. Britton and wife, and George Pierce and wife. This was considered to be the best congregation of its denomination in Doddridge County.^{^[296]}

But Doddridge County Death Records give age at death on Sep 30 1911 at 86y 1m 18d, putting birth at Aug 12 1825. Also, 1900 Census states her age as 74 and her birth date as Aug 1825. The 1860 Census shows her age as 35, while the 1870 Census has it as 44.], d.

No information regarding the parents of Rulina Lowther has been found. A copy of her obituary was located, but although it specified her birth as Aug 12 1825 in Harrison County, it made no mention of parents or siblings. Harrison County in 1825 encompassed a much larger area than it does now, so her birthplace may actually have been in present-day Doddridge County, which was created in 1845 from parts of Harrison, Tyler, Ritchie and Lewis Counties. A reference in one printing of her obituary to her and husband Eli having "20 children" was clearly a typographical error intended to be "10," as another printing stated that they had "ten children."

It was once thought that her actual first name was Pauline, but that is now considered doubtful and was probably the result of a clerical error. The original handwritten death record for her son John Morris Gaston on file at the WV State Archives identifies his mother as Rulina Lowther, while the corresponding typed death record for him on file in Harrison County identifies her as Pauline Lowther. Since this was the only time that the name "Pauline" has been noted in original records, it was presumably a misreading by the typist of "Rulina" on the original handwritten document. Similarly, the obituary of her son Eli Clark Gaston identified her as Rebecca Lowther, the only time that that name has been noted and is presumably a misprint intended to be Rulina. With these two exceptions, all other references to her are as Rulina (misspelled Relina in her handwritten marriage record). The only reference we have found of her middle initial was in the 1910 Census, which clearly identified her as Rulina A.

Family information sheets completed by her son David Dow Gaston and grandson Ira Dow Gaston identified her as Rulina Lowther, born Aug 12 1825 in Harrison Co, died Sep 30 1911. The space for the names of her parents was left blank on the form filled out by David, while Ira's stated that she was the daughter of "Unknown."

The only photograph we have of Rulina Lowther was found among other family photographs. Three of her grandchildren and one niece were named Rulina.

Age given at Aug 1867 marriage was 20, and at Aug 1888 marriage was 41, both of which would support a birth date in Sep or Nov 1846.

According to Doddridge County Probate Records (Bk 2, p. 227), Sarah E. (i.e. Elizabeth, his 2nd wife) Hart was "appointed guardian of Alaska Hart & Etta Hart, orphans of Andrew N. Hart."

He married (1) Aug-30-1867 in Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[326]}^{,^[327]} [Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937" gives marriage date as Oct 30 1867.], Sarah Emaline Britton, also known as Emaline Britton,^{^[328]}^{,92,^[329]} census name E.

The name Sarah Elizabeth Harlow (or Harland) appearing here is deduced from the records of her marriage and the births of her children. Marriage records identify her as "Mrs. Sarah E. Nucholes" (previous marriage?), born in Augusta, VA (now Hampshire Co, WV), and husband Andrew Hart's obituary identifies her as "Mrs. S. E. Knuckles." Birth record of daughter Dalla identifies her as Elizabeth Harland Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, but Dalla's obituary identifies her as the daughter of "Andy and Martha Nuckles Hart." Dalla's death record identifies her as the daughter of Andy Hart & Martha Muckles [sic]. Birth record of son Alaska identifies her as Sarah E. Harlow Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, and his death record also identifies her as Sarah Harlow. Based on apparent quality of the records, the latter is believed most accurate of those. But obituary of daughter Etta Wanda Hart Merritt identifies her parents as Andrew and Elizabeth Poole Hart. A death record for a Sarah E. Hart (d. Apr 14 1918) is on file in Doddridge County, age and parents are not listed, cause of death given as "old age."

Virginia, married 20 yrs (second marriage), mother of 8 children, 7 still living; son George W, 18; dau Florence V, 17; son John T, 15.

This Census information indicates that William and Eliza began their relationship and family well before their January 1901 marriage, which presumably was delayed because William was not yet divorced from his second wife.

The obituary also stated that his first wife, Salome Cain Hart, had "died ten years ago."

viii Juliet Hart, b. Nov-11-1865 in Summers, Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[365]}^{,^[366]} d. Jun- 6-1910 in Doddridge Co, WV,⁸ [Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County Deaths" lists the death of "Juhette Hildman" on Jun 6 1909. Undated and partly illegible obituary clipping states that she died June 6th at age 44 years, illegible months, 25 days. Husband's obituary in 1921 states that she died in "about 1907," but that would put her birth in 1862, three years before her documented birth. An age of 44y6m25d at death on Jun 6 1910 would calculate to a birthdate of Nov 12 1865, just one day off from what was documented. This is the basis for the death date given here as Jun 6 1910. A death date of Jun 15 1907 was reported by nephew John W. Hart in a W. Guy Tetrick family information survey completed in 1931. Meanwhile, Doddridge County death records (DR Bk 2, p. 64) list a "Juliette Hildman," age 50, married, who died at Summers on June 6, 1909 of TB. This may be the same person, as husband Isaac did remarry and had a child in 1912.]. She married May- 7-1882 in Doddridge Co, WV,^{^[367]} [Obituary of Isaac Lynch Hileman incorrectly states that he and Juliet Hart married on May 13 1881. That date, and also May 11 1881, is also reported in "Hileman Genealogy." But Doddridge County marriage records clearly show May 7 1882.], Isaac Lynch Hileman, b.

At time of his death, had been employed for fifteen years as superintendent of W. Brent Maxwell's farm in Doddridge County. He was mis-identified in son Grant's obit as "Isaac A. Hileman." Son Willis' obituary stated that he was survived by sisters Maysel, Maybell and Pearl, and by "one step-sister, Mrs. Jim (Rachel) Leeson, Oxford." This would actually be a half-sister, Rachel S. Pierce, dau of Willis' mother Lucinda Richmond and her second husband Esta Waitman Pierce. Willis' obituary also states that he was predeceased by nine brothers and five sisters, some of whom, it would seem, were probably step-siblings. Isaac's own obituary contained numerous factual errors regarding names and dates.

In the 1900 Census of Doddridge County, Isaac Husk was listed in the household of son George and was described as 81, b. Mar 1819 in Pa, father b. in (blank), mother b. in Pa, widowed.

The exact history of the original charcoal of the widely-distributed formal portrait of the elderly Isaac Husk has not been determined. However, it is known that it was handed down to his grandson Walter "Shiner" Husk. Per Shiner's instructions, upon his death in 1993, it was in turn passed down to Isaac's great-grandson Samuel D. Gaston. Following Sam's death in 2012, it was handed down to his nephew and Isaac's g-g-grandson, Renee L. Brown, with whom Sam had collaborated on this genealogy for so many years.

The obituary of Charles L. Leeson states: "In 1896 he was married to Miss Nancy Husk, and to this union was born two children. His wife and children preceded him in death many years ago. On November 1 1915, Mr. Leeson was married to Miss Minnie Gaston, who survives with a number of nieces and nephews, and many friends to mourn their loss." He was the last survivor of a family of seven. [West Union Herald, Jan 13 1955]

1900 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Southwest District):

Charles Leeson (age 34, b. Dec 1865), Nancy V. (wife, age 32, b. Mar 1868), Howard G. (son, age 2, b. Apr 1898), and Minnie Jane (dau, age 7 months, b. Oct 1899).

29. Elizabeth Jane Critchfield, also known as Jane Critchfield,^{44,377,94,181} b. Mar-17-1825 in Greene Co, PA,^{44,^[406]} d. Feb-17-1890 in Doddridge Co, WV,⁴⁴ buried in Hart Cemetery, Taylor Drain Rd, Oxford, Doddridge Co WV,^{^[407]} census 1870, 1880 in Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV.

Some question exists as to her correct first name. Although widely believed to have been Sarah, evidence seems more to indicate Elizabeth. In either event, she was known almost exclusively only by her middle name, Jane. Her name was given as Jane in the 1870 Census, and even her headstone identifies her only as "Jane, wife of Isaac Husk." The death record of Isaac Newton Husk incorrectly lists his parents as Isaac Husk and Jane Whetlatch [sic], confusing his mother with his grandmother, Sarah Whitlatch.

30. Samuel A. McNemar, b. Dec-30-1830 in Hardy Co, (W)VA,^{44,^[408]} d. Feb-19-1916 in Ritchie Co, WV,^{^[409]}^,44 buried in Oil Ridge (aka Fairview) Church Cemetery, Co Rd 26, Ritchie Co, WV,^44,96 resided in Cairo, Ritchie Co, WV,⁹³ census 1880 in McClellan District, Doddridge Co, WV, census 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA, census 1850 in Hardy Co, (W)VA, occupation farmer, blacksmith,^{97,^[410]} military Pvt, Co E, 12 WVa Inf, Civil War.⁸⁹

There has been much confusion over the birth date of Samuel A. McNemar. His headstone reads Dec 30 1830. A delayed birth record for son Joseph, submitted by daughter Margaret Martin on Feb 24 1953, gives Samuel's age at Joseph's Nov 1878 birth as 48, making Samuel's birth Dec 1829. Samuel's age at death of 87y1m19d reported by the doctor puts his birth at Dec 31 1828, while age at death of 89 reported by the undertaker puts it in about 1826/27. Age 21 given at marriage puts birth about 1837, while age 26 in 1860 Census makes it about 1834.

(Note: The young male would be son James Sanford McNemar, the middle initial being in error. The identity of the young female is not clear, but could be Basheba's younger sister Mary Catherine, despite the variance in age.)

(Note: James McNemar's given name appears to have been originally entered as "Sanford," which is faintly visible under the entry "James Samson." The name Samson has not been found elsewhere in connection with James S. McNemar. The middle name Sanford is found in his daughter Grace's birth record and in his own death record.)

32. Rufus Brown, b. Aug- 5-1771 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^{^[436]} d. Jul- 6-1838 in Otsego Co, NY,^{218,^[437]} buried in Lull Cemetery, Otsego Co, NY,¹²⁶ resided settled aft May 1813 in Otsego Co, NY.¹¹⁷

Rufus Brown left no will. The only record found of his death is his headstone, the weathered inscription on which is reported by Findagrave.com as "In memory of RUFUS BROWN, who died July 6th 1832, aged 66 years." But there appears to be an error in the transcription of the badly worn marker. Given his documented Aug 1771 birth date, it is almost certain that either his age was other than 66, or that his death date was other than 1832, probably the latter. If his age was in fact 66, his death date was probably 1838, or possibly 1839. Support for this conclusion, as well as a record of his children's names, is found in Grantor Record Book 65, p. 413, Cooperstown NY, dated Feb 29 1840, in which the children of Rufus Brown signed a Conveyance-Indenture transferring ownership of his property to them. This was presumably done as part of the settlement of Rufus' estate. Thus, it is likely that Rufus had died sometime within the previous year or so, and that his wife had predeceased him. His death was probably in Otsego County, his last known residence.

He married⁶⁵ May-16-1797 in Brooklyn, Windham Co, CT,^{^[438]}^{,^[439]} Mary Williams,

Based on locations and ages, the following census records appear to pertain to the family of this Rufus Brown.

After his death in 1860, the farm passed out of the family. Willis was a direct descendant of Thomas Nutter (d. 1732), Captain in the Revolutionary War, who built Fort Nutter on his land, now Nutter Fort, Harrison Co, WV. His gravesite is marked by a government historical marker. Willis and wife Juliet had nine children, four of whom, Andrew, Thomas, Willis Floyd, and Phylander served in the Union Army in the Civil War, as did their sister Mary Catherine's husband, John Gribble.

Children by Elizabeth King:

x Marion Gaston, b. Jun- 7-1852 in Lewis Co, WV,⁸¹ [Age 96y 5m 28d, stated in death record and on headstone, would put birth date at Jun 4 1852. But death certificate specifies birth date as Jun 7 1852. His death certificate also identifies his mother not as his father's second wife Elizabeth, but as Amanda Washburn, Elizabeth's daughter from a previous marriage to Isaac Washburn. This is consistent with the ages of Elizabeth (51) and Amanda (27) at the time of Marion's birth. Amanda never married, so she presumably remained in the Gaston home. The relationships projected to the public are not known, but since Marion's surname was Gaston, it is assumed that he was raised as the son of Hugh and Elizabeth, with his actual biological mother appearing to others as his stepsister. Stated another way, the Elizabeth Washburn who married Hugh Gaston was born Elizabeth King, she was the widow of Isaac Washburn by whom she had a daughter Amanda, and Marion Gaston, though legally and to all appearances the son of Hugh and Elizabeth, was biologically the son of Hugh and Amanda. Informant for Amanda's death record was listed as her son, not identified by name. Amanda shares a common headstone with her mother Elizabeth and stepfather Hugh.], d.

Maiden name has also been reported as Kelley and Kellar. Obituary (Weston Independent) gave burial in Sassafras Cemetery, and parents being from Gilmer Co, WV. Obituary also gave marriage date as June 6 1876, which is at variance with marriage record of Jan 5 1876. Four surviving brothers were given as residents of Kansas.

49. Susana Jett, b. btwn 1780 - 1790,^{^[530]} d. May- 1-184_,²⁹⁵ census 1830 in Harrison Co, (W)VA.

No record of the parentage or other information of Susana Jett has been found.

In Book 2, p. 388, of Harrison County Marriage Bonds is a record of a bond of $150 being paid by Hugh Gaston and James Coberly (spelling may be Cubberly) in connection with the marriage of Hugh Gaston and "Susana Jett of full age." It is unknown what relationship existed between James Coberly and Susana Jett; we have found only that a James Coberly (b. 1779) and wife Letitia "Tisha" Jett (b. 1783) were residents of Harrison/Gilmer Co in that time period.

A W. Guy Tetrick family information survey completed by great-grandson Ira Dow Gaston in 1931stated that his grandparents were Hugh Gaston, born 1788, died July 5 1888, and Susana Jett, born "unknown," daughter of "unknown," they were married in 1811, and she died May 1 1849. The reported death date is considered suspect,, since husband Hugh Gaston is known to have remarried on June 1 1848.

Isaac Cain and his son William fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. They were both shot at the Battle of Gettysburg, and both were captured when Isaac refused to leave his more severely wounded son. William was taken to a local hospital, where he soon died. Isaac was transported to Point Lookout, Maryland, where he was confined as a Prisoner of War until his death in December 1864.

Point Lookout was the largest Union POW camp and had by far the worst living conditions. Built to accommodate 10,000 prisoners, its population at the end of the war had grown to 22,000. Shelter consisted only of various types of tents, with no barracks to protect the men from the elements. At least 3,584 prisoners died there over a 22-month period. There were only 50 escapes.^{^[535]}

Samuel Husk predeceased his father, Frederick, who had died prior to June 1848. Since Elizabeth appeared in the 1830 Census as the head of family, we must assume that Samuel had already died by then.

1830 Census, Western District of Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia):

Household of Elizabeth Husk:

1 female, age 60-69 (is this Elizabeth's mother or mother-in-law ?)

1 female, 40-49 (this would be Elizabeth herself)

2 females, 5-9 (daughters Mary & Elizabeth)

1 female, under 5 (daughter Sarah)

1 male, 15-19 (son Frederick)

2 males, 10-14 (son Isaac, and another son ?)

2 males, 15-20 (son Samuel, and another son ?)

(Note: If ages are correct, son Isaac is not accounted for in this census.)

The next-listed household is for Harvey Husk, with the following members:

1 male, age 20-30

3 males, under 5

1 female, 20-30

1 female, under 5

We have not been able to determine how this Harvey Husk fits in with the other Husks of this genealogy. Could he be the "other son" in the 1830 Census?

64. Benjamin Brown, b. Apr- -1732/33 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^{^[647]} d. abt Jan 1792 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^{^[648]}^{,^[649],647} military Patriotic Service in Revolutionary War in Connecticut.^{^[650]}

Many researchers report that this Benjamin Brown (father of Rufus and 16 others) was born on Sep 1 1713 in Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut, a son of Deacon Thomas Brown and Rachel Leavens, and died on Nov 17 1773. But we have not found original documentation for this, and it is contradicted by (1) the birth of four of Benjamin's children after 1773, (2) Benjamin Brown's entry in the DAR Patriot Index, (3) Benjamin Brown's will (a copy of which is in our possession) dated 1791 and proved in 1792, (4) the estate of Abigail Cleveland Brown Adams, administered in 1782, which mentions her "eldest son Benjamin Brown," and (5) the will of Josiah Cleaveland identifying Benjamin Brown as his grandson.

The entry for Benjamin Brown, Patriot Ancestor #A015287, in the DAR Patriot Index reads as follows:

Benjamin Brown, born about 1734 in England, died 1792 in Connecticut, married Hannah Benjamin, Patriotic Service in Connecticut.

The England birthplace indicated by the DAR is inconsistent with all other references to this Benjamin Brown and is considered suspect. Correspondence with the DAR revealed no basis for assigning the England birthplace, which was apparently the result of conjecture on the part of a DAR applicant. This appears to be the same Benjamin Brown mentioned in "The Benjamin Family in America," p. 113, wherein the husband of Hannah Benjamin is identified as Benjamin Brown (son of Benjamin Brown and Abigail Cleveland), born ca Apr 1732/33 at Canterbury, died Jan 1 1792 at Canterbury. Benjamin Brown was living in the house of his maternal grandfather, Josiah Cleveland, at the time of the latter's death. In 1751 Benjamin was called "the minor son of Mrs. Abigail Adams" and in her will was called "eldest son." (Abigail Cleveland Brown had remarried John Adams sometime prior to Nov 1741, birth date of their first child.) This would also be the same Benjamin Brown identified as a grandson in Josiah Cleaveland's will, extracts from which are found in "The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families," pp. 81-82.

Adding to the confusion, there is a birth record for another Benjamin Brown, born May 30 1734 in Stonington, Connecticut, son of John Brown. This appears not to be the Benjamin Brown of interest. Based mainly on the birth records of other children, it is likely that there were two or more Benjamin Browns who were married to different Hannahs in that location and time frame.

All things considered, it appears certain that the Benjamin and Hannah of interest to us here were married in Canterbury on Feb 25 1755. Further confirmation is found in Connecticut probate records, which show that the will of Benjamin Brown, husband of Hannah and father of Rufus and others known to be in this family, was dated Nov 28 1791 and proved on Feb 7 1792 in Canterbury, Plainfield District, Windham County.

Having thus established the parents of this Benjamin Brown as Benjamin Brown and Abigail Cleveland, we must wonder whether the aforementioned Deacon Thomas Brown and Rachel Leavens might actually be his grandparents. Further investigation will be necessary to prove or disprove that possibility.^{647,^[651],^[652]}

xiv Patience Brown, b. Jun-11-1776 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT.^{^[666]}

Other than her birth record, no reference to Patience Brown as a child of Benjamin Brown & Hannah Benjamin has been found. Some versions of the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records report Jun 11 1776 as Patience's birth date, some report that as her death date, and some as both. We consider it possible that Patience is the same person as Benjamin & Hannah's daughter Thankful, who married Jirah Peabody and for whom no birth record by that name has been found. Thankful's age in the 1850 and 1860 censuses would put her birth in or about 1776.

Thomas Pritchard's ancestors came from England and settled at Jamestown in about 1610.

"Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 40, lists as children of John Moody Pritchard and Sarah Haddox the same first eight that we show here, with the exception that a son Jasper is listed rather than James. James is documented through his marriage record as a child of this couple; since Jasper and James are shown as being of the same age, it would appear that James was also known as Jasper. There is no reference at all to a daugher Isabel, who is found in the 1860 Census and is identified in her marriage record as a daughter of John M. & Sarah Pritchard.

Reports by some researchers of Thomas Dickerson Pritchard's death in Lewis County in 1862/63 are clearly incorrect.

The adjacent household on one side was that of Thomas & Mary's son Elias R. Pritchard, and on the other side that of Mary's first cousin William Robert Lowther.

"Nancy Tichenell, first wife of Thomas Pritchard Jr., was descended from a prominent New Jersey family, most of whom retained the original spelling of Tichenor. Beginning with Nancy's father Moses, a Revolutionary War soldier, the spelling went awry, and his descendants used a variety of forms, most ending with 'L'."

Nancy Tichenell (Titchenell, Tichnell, Tichenal) died before Oct 25 1812 (the date of husband Thomas Pritchard's remarriage to Mary Moody) in what is now Preston Co, WV. Nancy and Thomas had seven or eight children. Some genealogists believe that his daughter Mary was actually the daughter of Mary Moody. Because his daughter Elizabeth was born Feb 20 1812, it is quite likely that Nancy died at the time of that birth, a common event in pioneer families. Mary's given name is another clue.

"Two weeks after their marriage in Allegany County, Maryland, Thomas became the guardian of Nancy's younger siblings, Stephen Tickenal (sic), Margaret Tickenal, and Jain (Jane) Tichenal, orphan children of Moses Tickenal, all of that county."^{^[697]}

92. John Nutter, b. ca 1765 in Sussex Co, DE,^{294,^[698]} d. Jan- -1808 in Harrison Co, (W)VA.^294,698

John Nutter (1765-1808) moved with his parents to Fayette Co, PA in 1769, and to Harrison Co, VA (WV) in 1772. In 1772 he lived at Nutter's Fort, which his father Thomas Nutter was instrumental in building. John's will was either written or probated on Feb 22, 1808 in Harrison Co. Among other property, he left 200 acres of land in Ohio, suggesting that he had visited there at one time or another.²⁹⁴

He married Oct- 2-1786 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^294,698 Elizabeth Cottrell.

We have found several discrepancies in the research done on this family: (1) Jacob Nutter is listed by Minnie Kendall Lowther (HRC, p. 236) as one of the children of John C. Nutter & Emily Vincent, but not by Don Norman. We have found no other reference to this Jacob Nutter. (2) Conversely, Don Norman lists Joseph Skelton Nutter and Avery Fillmore Nutter among their children, but Minnie Kendall Lowther does not. Joseph does appear twice as their son in census records, but Avery appears only once and is listed as a grandson. Avery's death record identifies his father as John Nutter, but does not name his mother. (3) Lowther identifies one of John & Emily's children as Thomas Nutter, while Norman identifies him as William Thomas Nutter. This appears to be the same person.

Oct-20-1839 in Hackers Creek, Lewis Co, (W)VA.⁷⁴⁷

There is some disagreement among researchers as to Isaac R. Swisher's name. Variations offered are Isaac Lewis Swisher, Lewis Isaac Swisher, and Isaac R. Swisher. Based on information in the death records of his son & grandson, we conclude it was Isaac R. Swisher. Researcher E. Murray Taylor is in agreement with this, theorizing that the commonly found variation Lewis Isaac Swisher originated in the hand-written marriage record of Isaac Swisher being married in Lewis County.

Nearly all information listed here pertaining to the descendants of Lewis Isaac Swisher and Jane Gaston, unless otherwise noted, is courtesy of the research efforts of E. Murray Taylor, Jr., of Fairmont, WV, much of which centered on an existing Swisher family genealogy and the William A. Marsh 1880 Census of Lewis County, WV.

This is a genealogy of the descendants of this Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst), with particular emphasis on those branches of the family tree closest to the principal compilers, Samuel David Gaston and Geneva Gaston Brown. The information presented here was obtained from countless sources over many years of research. Wherever possible, the original source is documented, but the reader can rest assured that even when a source is not specified, the compilers were highly confident of the accuracy of the information before including it in this collection.

Though not proven, the following Husk family is probably connected to the Husk lineage which is the focus of this genealogy. They are more fully described at http://www.doddridgecountyroots.com/bk6html/f20121.html :

1. Isaac Husk, b. ca 1838 in Pennsylvania, 1850 & 1860 Census in Monongalia Co, 1870 & 1880 Census in Washington Co Pa.

m. Elizabeth Johnson, b. ca 1837 in Pa.

m. Louisa Wharton

Children by first wife:

2. William Johnson Husk, b. 1859 in Monongalia Co, (W)Va.

m. Ida Roberta McIntyre in 1885 in Tyler Co WVa, b. 1867 in Tyler Co, d. 1936 in Tyler Co.

They had 12 children: Ethel Leora, Nancy Louisa, William Luther, Edgar Leo, Dwight Lovell, Amma Lotus, Dewey Liston, Hazel L, Herbert Leslie, Omer Russel, Virginia Pearl, Chloe Frances.

If any reader of this genealogy knows how this Husk family is connected to our primary Husk lineage, please let us know.

Despite extensive research in more recent years, nothing about the ancestors of the elder Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst) has been discovered. Information on the earliest of his descendants has also been very hard to come by. However, this genealogy is, and always will be, a work in progress, and additional information regarding the early generations, as well as the current one, will be added as it becomes known. In that vein, readers of this collection are invited to inform us of any errors or additional information for future updates.

5th Great-Grandparents

128. Benjamin Brown, d. bef 1741 in Connecticut [Presumed, since Benjamin Brown's wife Abigail had her first child by second husband John Adams in November 1741.].

The parentage of Benjamin Brown, husband of Abigail Cleveland (and father of Benjamin Brown (b. ca 1733) who married Hannah Benjamin), has not been determined. His name is known only from a reference in "The Benjamin Family in America," p. 113, wherein the husband of Hannah Benjamin is identified as "Benjamin Brown, the son of Benjamin and Abigail (Cleveland) Brown." He is presumed to have died in Connecticut before 1741, since Abigail's first child by her second husband was born in November of that year.

Although quite possible, it would be only speculation to suggest that this is the Benjamin Brown widely reported as the son of Deacon Thomas Brown and the father of Rufus Brown. If any reader of this genealogy has information which would support or disprove this possibility, please let us know.

He married⁶⁴⁷ Abigail Cleveland, also known as Abigail Cleaveland.^{^[781]}

Children:

64. i Benjamin Brown, b. Apr- -1732/33 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,⁶⁴⁷ d. abt Jan 1792 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^648,649,647 military Patriotic Service in Revolutionary War in Connecticut.⁶⁵⁰ He married⁶⁴⁹ Feb-25-1755 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^647,653 [at Canterbury Congregational Church], Hannah Benjamin.

129. Abigail Cleveland, also known as Abigail Cleaveland,⁷⁸¹ b. Jun- 3-1715 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,⁷⁸¹ d. Dec-15-1782 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,^{^[782]}^,652 [at homestead, North Society], buried Morse Cemetery in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT.^{^[783]}

The precise year of Abigail Cleveland's second marriage, to John Adams, is not clear. Genealogist Andrew N. Adams reports a date of 1733, when her son Benjamin Brown was not more that one year of age. But Canterbury town records show that the first of Abigail and John Adams' nine children was not born until November 1741.

In 1746 John Adams and his wife participated in the formation of the Separatist Church in Canterbury, which gave rise to much dissension in that village. John Adams was made a member of the early church in 1741, and his wife Abigail in 1745.

On Apr 17 1752, John and Abigail Adams acknowledged receipt of a legacy from the estate of her father, Josiah Cleveland of Canterbury, which had been bequeathed to them in a clause in his will of Dec 28 1750, in which Josiah Cleveland mentions his daughter Abigail Adams and his grandson Benjamin Brown.

John Adams' will was drawn on May 4 1762, and the estate was administered that same year. In it he mentions wife Abigail Adams. Mrs. Abigail Adams' estate was administered Feb 19 1783, and mention is made of her "eldest son Benjamin Brown."

According to an article by genealogist Emily Wilder Leavitt of Boston, written in the "New England Historical & Genealogical Register" in 1894, in "a little graveyard in the northern part of Canterbury the tombstones of both John and Abigail Adams have recently been found: 'Here lies the body of Mr. John Adams who died January 16, 1762-3, in his 66th year.' On that of his wife is inscribed: 'Here lies the body of Mrs. Abigail, wife of Mr. John Adams who died December 15, 1782.'"

Abigail's brother Aaron was the father of Moses Cleaveland, the founder of Cleveland, Ohio.⁶⁵²

"Thomas Pritchard Sr. was born about 1730-35 in King George, Stafford or Prince William County, Virginia, and died before 1812 in Allegany County, Maryland. He married Rachel Davis about 1759 in Loudoun County, Virginia. Like his father and earlier ancestors, he was a craftsman and pioneer at heart. The exact location of his birth is not known because of Virginia's fluctuating county borders and formation of new counties from older ones. Christopher II, his father, received a Prince William County land grant in 1742 from Lord Fairfax. Prince William County was formed in 1730 from Stafford and King George Counties. Fairfax County was formed in 1742 from Prince William County, Loudoun County was formed in 1747 from Fairfax County, and Fauquier County was formed in 1759 from Prince William County. These boundary shifts allowed the Pritchard family to leave traces in each county."^789.

Though not proved, it is considered likely that this William Pritchard/Prichard was actually the son of Thomas Pritchard Sr.'s presumed brother William Christopher Pritchard, who died six months before the child's birth. Since no record of the child's mother, Amelia Knotts, is found after that, it is possible that she died during childbirth, and the child was then taken into his uncle Thomas' family.^{^[797]}

He married Feb- -1805 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA,^{^[798]} Hannah Meredith.

181. Rachel Davis, b. ca 1745 in Loudoun Co, VA.^{^[800]}

Rachel Davis was born about 1745 in Loudon Co, VA, and died probably between 1813 and 1815 in Allegany Co, MD. The Davis family came to America from Cardigan, Wales. Rachel's grandfather may have been Thomas Davis Sr., who died in Loudon County on May 6 1758 and was married to Margaret.⁸⁰⁰

Jane, b. ca 1789, m. Henry Duckworth Jan 10 1801 in Allegany Co MD. She was the wife of George Cease in Oct 1818 as revealed by her mother's will written at the time.

Levi Douglass was born possibly in Virginia, but more likely on the eastern shore of Maryland in present-day Wicomico County. His date of birth is generally accepted as being around 1750, but may have been as late as about 1760. In about 1777, just prior to his 1778 marriage to Nancy Anne Merrick in Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia), Levi Douglass signed a petition for the formation of Harrison County, which came about in 1784. In May 1785, a survey for Levi Douglass was recorded for 400 acres in Harrison County on the Brushy Fork of Elk Creek, adjoining the land of Benjamin Coplin.⁷⁰¹

Excerpts from "History of Harrison County West Virginia," by Henry Haymond, 1910:

"On the 31st December, 1771 a party of explorers consisting of John Merrick, Samuel Cottrill, Andrew Cottrill, Levi Douglass and Sotha Hickman, encamped on Ann Moores run near the present town of Grasselli in Clark District.

They were engaged in hunting and looking out for lands upon which to make permanent settlements. On New Year's day 1772 they turned out to hunt, and passing south through the low gap where Lemuel D. Holden afterwards lived for so many years, and near there killed a bear and several turkeys.

On the little bottom where Brushy Fork empties into Elk Creek their dogs discovered a herd of buffalo and in a short time the hunters had killed seven of them. One of the largest of the herd being fatally wounded in attempting to escape down Elk Creek fell dead into the bed of the little stream that puts into Elk below the mouth of Brushy Fork, and lay in such a position that they could not pull him out, and he was left to lie there with regrets that they could not get his robe.

The party remained in this camp all winter and were visited by a friendly Indian who hunted with them for some time.

They discovered the abandoned camp on the "West Fork River of Robert Lindsay a trapper, and also where he had made one or more canoes to transport his furs down to Fort Pitt.

In the Spring of 1772 they selected lands on which to establish permanent homes. Andrew Cottrill located his claim and built his cabin at the site of their camp, on Ann Moore's run, where Grasselli is now located. Samuel Cottrill just east of where Clarksburg now stands, near the Jackson grave yard. Sotha Hickman on the opposite side of Elk Creek near where the Elk View Cemetery now is, and Levi Douglas preempted four hundred acres on the Brushy Fork of Elk. John Merrick did not permanently locate in this country but probably went further West.

There are still residing in Harrison County many descendants of the two Cottrills, Hickman and Douglass, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that their ancestors were among the very first permanent settlers in the present limits of Harrison County." [p. 21]

"It appears that at the June Court 1787 appraisers were appointed for the estate of Levi Douglass and that at the September Court of the same year Mrs. Ann Burrowes was appointed guardian for Thomas Cottrill orphan of Andrew Cottrill, deceased. This indicates that both of these men died in that year, which is a

matter of interest as they were both among the original pioneer settlers of Harrison County, as is related elsewhere, and had borne the hardships of frontier life for sixteen years." [p. 208]

"Levi Douglass. In company with Sotha Hickman he was captured by Indians, an account of which is given elsewhere. He was a man of sterling worth and for that day accumulated considerable property.

The census of Monongalia County taken in 1782 before Harrison County was formed, shows that at that date his family consisted of four members.

The inventory of his estate was dated August 4, 1787, the exact date of his death being unknown.

His descendants still reside in the County." [p. 382]

"Sotha Hickman. ... While trapping on the Liitle Kanawha River in Company with Levi Douglass they were captured by a party of Indians and taken to their towns on the Sciota River in Ohio.

One night while the Indians were holding a grand dance and festival the prisoners were left in charge of an old man who fell off into a sleep. They each then quietly seized a gun and equipments and struck out for home and liberty.

Travelling only at night they were four days without food and after reaching the Virginia side of the Ohio River they were fortunate enough to kill a bear and ate so much of it that they both became very sick and were relieved by drinking what was called rock oil, which was found floating on the surface of Hughes River." [p. 383]

"To show the household articles in use, and the personal property belonging to a well to do pioneer, the following is taken from the appraisement of the estate of Levi Douglass, who died in 1787 :

2 horses, 1 colt, 2 steers, 2 heifers, 1 cow, 1 calf, 17 shoats, 1 plow, 1 negro boy, 1 rifle gun, shot pouch and powder horn, 1 woman's saddle, 2 bridles, 1 man's saddle, drawing knife, stillyards, pot and hooks, hackle-bell, pans, spinning wheel, wooden ware, knives and forks, pewter ware, beds and bedding, flax seed, wheat, hemp seed, beehives and hominy block."

William was said to be Scotch-Irish, and he operated a tavern located on the main highway between Trenton, NJ and New York. He attended Baptist church. Some sources (based on an error in the much-cited "Upper Monongahela Valley, West Virginia" by Bernard L. Butcher) indicate William as the father, rather than the brother, of Elizabeth Davison, wife of Watters Smith. This is not the case.⁸³²

Watters Smith moved with the Green family through Pennsylvania and settled on George's Creek in what is now Fayette Co, PA, but was claimed by Virginia. He served as a militiaman during the Whiskey Insurrection to retain order for the new Federal government. He was a neighbor and acquaintance of Baron von Steuben, the Prussian officer who trained the American troops. In Spring 1796, he and his wife moved to Harrison County, (W)VA, where he bought a 200-acre farm from John Prunty. The original deed, dated 1/21/1792, was on display at the Watters Smith State Park (www.watterssmithstatepark.com), Harrison Co, as of June 1993. The land adjoined Thomas Smith's land, also purchased from Prunty on 9/18/1787, which farm was later purchased by William Davisson and settled on by heirs of John Gaston, who married Watters Smith's sister-in-law Anna Davisson. Watters Smith is the ancestor of almost all the Harrison County Smiths. He was one of four neighbors who founded the Broad Run Baptist Church in 1804. Originally located at Duck Creek and known as Good Hope Church, in 1817 it was moved to its present location with the new name Broad Run, in honor of the old Broad Run Church in Fauquier County, Virginia. Watter Smith is believed to have been the church's first deacon, and Job West was the first clerk.

364. Joseph Tichenor, b. ca 1685 in Newark, Essex Co, NJ,^{^[869]} d. Mar- -1750 in New Jersey.^{^[870]}

"Joseph Tichenor died in 1750. His will of March 1, 1750, mentions only his first five children, Moses, James, Joseph, Daniel and Jane, all minors. Joseph, James and Jane were over the age of 14, so they asked the court to appoint Thomas Woodruff, Jr. of Elizabeth, NJ as their guardian. Since Daniel and Moses were under the age of 14, they were not entitled by law to choose their guardians.

"In 1731, Joseph acquired land in New Vernon, a few miles south of Morristown. A second tract of land was purchased in 1739. He also purchased land in what is known as 'Turkey Pasture' from the heirs of William Penn. This is in the Great Swamp, now a wildlife preserve.

"According to Harold Tichenor, the records of the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown contain the words 'confest for disregarding the lot' by Joseph's name. This refers to a casting of lots to settle a dispute over establishing a church in Morristown. The people of Morristown (then called West Hanover) worshipped at the Presbyterian Church at Hanover, which was established by 1718. By 1733, the population of Morristown (so named officially in 1740) had increased. The eastern portion of the parish opposed the move, so the church resorted to casting of lots. Even though the proposed division was voted down, a Morristown church was organized and a confession for disregarding the lot was required of those who had a part in it, Joseph among them. The church records also show that he renewed his covenant April 24, 1743, and became a communicant in September 1749."^870.

The basis for this was not noted, but may be from the date of the probate of Matthew's will or settlement of the estate.

Hugh, along with his brothers, William, John and Joseph, arrived in America about 1720 through the Port of Perth Amboy and settled in New Jersey.

He married Isabel Simonton, d. aft 1792.

Some doubt exists about Isabel's maiden name. She was probably a sister of Robert Simonton, who settled in Bedminster Twp, Somerset Co, NJ, before 1754, whose land at that date adjoined the land of Hugh Gaston, and who moved to Pennsylvania and died in Mount Bethel Twp, Northampton Co, in 1786, leaving children James, Ephraim, Robert, Peter, Benjamin, Margaret Nelson, Jean Britton, and Esther Ross, of whom James & Peter settled in Washington Co, PA.

By some accounts, Hugh Gaston Jr. was the grandson of Hugh Gaston (b. 1687), but he was probably his son. Of Hugh Gaston Jr.'s four children, two were borne by his first wife (Mary Sloan), none by his second wife (Mary Adams), and two by his third wife (Mary Kirkpatrick).^825,827

vi Elizabeth Gaston, b. 1737.^827,825

Known to be a sister of Hugh Gaston Jr. (b. 1734) and would therefore have been the daughter of Hugh Gaston (b. 1687), although there is a possibility that Hugh Gaston (b. 1687) was their grandfather. One source lists her date of birth as 1730.

She married^827,825 Thomas Kirkpatrick, resided (settled) in Bernards Twp, Somerset Co, NJ,^827,825 [near Liberty Corners].

Connection, if any, between the families of David Kirkpatrick and Thomas Kirkpatrick, both of Somerset County NJ, is not known.^{^[886]}

vii Rebecca Gaston, b. Dec-12-1739 in Bedminster Twp, Somerset Co, NJ,⁸²⁵ d. Jun-23-1819.^{^[887]}

Known to be a sister of Hugh Gaston Jr. (b. 1734) and thus the daughter of Hugh Gaston (b. 1687), but he may actually have been their grandfather.

She married⁸²⁷ William Logan, b. Mar-18-1736,⁸²⁵ d. Jan- 8-1814,⁸²⁵ resided in Bedminster Twp, Somerset Co, NJ,⁸²⁵ resided in Peapack, Somerset Co, NJ,⁸²⁷ occupation Captain.⁸²⁷

However, that James Gaston may actually have been the one baptized on Mar 28 1742 as the eldest son of John Gaston (b. ca 1719).

The name of James Gaston appears as a member of the congregation of Lamington Church, Bedminster Twp, in the years up to 1766. A James Gaston (probably the James b. ca 1750, son of William b. 1720) also took up land in Mt. Bethel Twp, Northampton Co, Pennsylvania, in 1773.

Part of the Lousada family remained Loyalist during the Revolution, retaining their name's old spelling and moving to Canada or England.

520. Joseph Benjamin, b. Sep-16-1633 in Newtowne (now Cambridge), Middlesex Co, MA,^{^[911]} d. Spring 1704 in Preston, New London Co, CT.⁹¹¹

William Clarke of Yarmouth died Dec 7 1668 and gave his property to Joseph Benjamin by noncupative will. Sarah Clarke's mother was probably a sister to Thomas & Barnard Lumbert, which would make Joseph's two wives cousins. This would also account for Barnard Lumbert, age 60, hearing the will of William Clarke.

In Savage's account of the Lumbert family, he indicates that Joseph Benjamin's first marriage may have been "a run-away marriage."

Joseph was a watchman in Charlestown in 1665. He lived in Barnstable and then, sometime before 1668, moved to Yarmouth. He sold a farm in Cambridge, which he had inherited, on Oct 30 1686. The town of Preston, Connecticut, was established in 1686, and Joseph and his family moved there in 1696, where he bought 100 acres of land.⁹¹¹

728. Daniel Tichenor, b. Aug- 9-1656 in New Haven Colony, Connecticut,^{^[916]}^{,^[917]} d. May- -1728 in Newark, Essex Co, NJ.⁹¹⁷

The Fundamental Agreement of the first settlers of Newark, New Jersey, was signed by a Daniel Tichenor, While improbable that the signer was this Daniel Tichenor since was only eleven years old at the time, it is still a possibility. The Fundamental Agreement (which provided that only members of the established church would be "admitted freemen or free Burgesses) did not have the force of law, and there is no good reason that a minor could not have signed such a symbolic document. No Daniel Tichenor received land in the first division of land or was on the first taxt list as would be expected of a man of age. His name does not appear in the records of Newark town meetings, after the signing of the Fundamental Agreement, until 1680, when he requested land. This was surely our Daniel Tichenor, as he was 23 at the time. The records give no evidence of an older Daniel Tichenor.

[Vital Records of Connecticut, New Haven, Series I]

[New Jersey Historical Society Collections - Records of the Town of Newark, Vol. VI, pp. 3-116, and supplement thereto]

Daniel Tichenor's name appears six times between 1680 and 1700 in the town records. In 1684, he had "Liberty ... to take up a piece of land in the Common ..." He was chosen fence viewer in 1689 and was chosen pounder in 1690. One item in the town record of Mar 5 1693 reads as follows: "Whereas, there is much Prophanation of the Lord's Day in the Time of Worship, by the playing of Boys and Girls; therefore Daniel Tichenor and Thomas Lyon are chosen to look after them, and to correct them, or call them by Name as they shall see occasion, for the Year ensuing." [New Jersey Historical Society Collections - Records of the Town of Newark, Vol. VI, pp. 103-116]

On Jun 1 1680, Daniel Tichenor was deeded two acres in his father's home lot. Daniel bought 4-1/2 acres in "Little or Tichenor's Neck" adjacent to that lot on May 2 1694. In 1697, he received land, evidently jointly with his brother Jonathan, in right of their father. On Sep 3 1701, he had an "interest of one right" in purchase agreement covering Indian lands west of Newark. His will, written Nov 4 1727, named his wife Elizabeth and children Daniel, John, Joseph and Jane.

John Gaston (1645) or his father John (1600) was listed on the hearth-money rate list at Magheragall, Upper Massereene Barony, in the extreme south of County Antrim, Ireland, SW of Belfast. The family later moved a few miles north, as John (1645) had a son William ca 1680 at Carenleigh, Cloughwater, near Ballymena. Clough was a few miles north of Ballymena in Kilconway Barony, and held five Gaston households at time of the 1740 Protestant Householders index of County Antrim.^{^[921]}

iii Mary Gaston, b. 1695 in Ireland.^{^[927]} She married in Ireland,⁹²⁷ James Cauldwell, b. 1691 in Ireland.⁹²⁷

From "Family Records or Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Passaic Valley," p. 68: "James Cauldwell, with his wife Mary, emigrated from Ireland, about the year 1732, when his son William was six years old, and settled on Long Hill, on lot No. 30, addition of the Elizabethtown lots, which it appears he drew. From tradition among the families, it would seem, and I am led to believe, that James Cauldwell's wife was Mary Gaston, sister of the father of Hugh Gaston, of Peapack. Hugh Gaston was brother of Capt. William Logan's wife, and probably also brother of the wife of Thomas Kirkpatrick, at Liberty Corner. His children called him Uncle Hugh Gaston, and Mr. Gaston, Mrs. Logan and the old Kirkpatrick family claimed kin to the Cauldwell family."^{^[928]}

1032. Moses Cleveland, b. ca 1624 in England,^{^[954]} d. Jan- 9-1701/02 in Woburn, Middlesex Co, MA.⁹⁵⁴

Moses (or Moyses) Cleveland (or Cleaveland), the common ancestor of all the Clevelands or Cleavelands of New England origin, came as a youth from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England. According to family tradition, he sailed from London and arrived in America in the year 1635. He first landed in Massachusetts, probably either at Plymouth or Boston, only 15 years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.

There is evidence to suggest that the young Moses was at that time an apprentice to a ship's carpenter, working for his passage over. It is believed that he came from Ipswich as an indentured apprentice to a joiner, housewright, or master builder, name of his master not known but conjectured to be Edward Winn, whose daughter he later married. He was known to have gone to Woburn with his master, and he did settle there in 1640-41.

In 1642, he was granted a share of public land in Woburn, and in 1643 he became a freeman. A freeman was required to be of godly walk and conversation, to be at least 20 years of age, to take an oath of allegiance to the government of Massachusetts Bay Colony, to be worth 200 pounds, to hold office if elected or else pay a fine of 40 shillings, and to vote in all elections or pay the same fine. These restrictions and conditions were so onerous that many who were eligible preferred never to become freemen, being more free as they were. Over the years, Moses Cleveland became a man of some prominence in New England.^{^[955]}

He married Sep-26-1648 in Woburn, Middlesex Co, MA,⁹⁵⁴ Ann Winn.

Children:

i Moses Cleveland, b. Sep- 1-1651 in Woburn, Middlesex Co, MA,^{^[956]} d. bef Oct 30 1717.⁹⁵⁶

Moses Cleveland moved from Woburn, Massachusetts, probably as early as 1679-80, when his name last appears on the tax list, or he certainly left soon after Mar 31 1686, the date of son Joseph's birth. He evidently next settled at or near Edgartown, Island of Martha's (then Martin's) Vineyard, in Dukes County, Massachusetts. There he was a farmer, and very probably became a mariner like his father-in-law, Nicholas Norton. Many of his descendants have since followed the seas.

Moses and Ruth (Norton) Cleveland sold land at Edgartown on Mar 8 1694, and soon moved to Southold, New York, where their son Ichabod was born the next year, and where they probably remained till their deaths. There is no record of Moses Cleveland's death, which occurred prior to Oct 30 1717, for a deed of that date executed by his son Ebenezer mentions Moses Cleveland, deceased.

Moses Cleveland was a Volunteer in King Philip's War, 1675-76, accompanied by his brother Samuel.^{^[957]}

1040. John Benjamin, b. ca 1580/98 in England,^{^[961]} d. Jun-14-1645 in Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA.⁹⁶¹

John Benjamin, with his wife and four children, sailed from England on the ship "Lion" (Lyon) on June 22, 1632. They arrived at Boston Harbor on the evening of September 16, 1632. John Benjamin was a friend of John Winthrop, who had arrived in America in 1630 and later became Governor of Massachusetts. His friendship with Winthrop is thought to have greatly influenced John Benjamin's decision to leave England for America. Also, two of Abigail's brothers had already come to New England, which may have also played a role.

The Benjamins settled in Newtowne (now Cambridge), Massachessetts. On Nov 6 1632, John Benjamin was elevated to the status of Freeman. He soon built what Governor Winthrop described as a "Mansion ... unsurpassed in elegance and comfort." John Benjamin was clearly both wealthy and well educated. He was addressed by the Governor as "Mister," a title of respect reserved for the few. On May 20 1633, he was appointed Constable, the chief executive officer of the town.

In 1637, the Benjamin family moved to Watertown, Massachusetts, on a homestead of 60 acres. Watertown records of 1642 show that John Benjamin owned the largest homestall in the town at that time.

The will of John Benjamin was made on Jun 12 1645, two days before his death. It was witnessed by Massachusetts Governor Thomas Dudley and Deputy Governor John Winthrop, and was handwritten by Winthrop. In 1900 the will was bought at auction because of Winthrop's autograph. A copy of it appears in "New England Historical & Genealogical Register," Vol. 45, p. 19.^{^[962]}

Robert Williams' birthplace was England, possibly in Norwich, County Norfolk. He arrived in Boston with his wife Elizabeth and several children in 1637. By the end of that year, they had joined the neighboring settlement of Roxbury. Robert was made a freeman there on May 2nd of the following year.

As a signer of the Petition to the Governor of the Colony, 1672, in censure of Harvard College, it is clear that Robert Williams was a staunch and typical Puritan, who refused to conform to the tenets of the Established Church of England during the intolerant reign of the first King Charles. It was for that reason that he left England for the Massachusetts Bay, where he could more freely exercise his rights of conscience and religion beliefs.

Roxbury town records show that Robert Williams was one of the five townsmen or selectmen in 1647 and 1653. He took an active interest in the early founding of schools in Roxbury. Ellis' "History of the Town of Roxbury" refers to him as "one of the most influential men in town affairs." Farmer's "Genealogical Register of the First Settlers in New England" calls him "the common ancestor of the divines, civilians and warriors of the name who have honored the country of their birth."

His Last Will and Testament is dated Nov 26 1685, and was probated on Sep 29 1693. He died in Roxbury on Sep 1 1693, age 100.^{^[966]}

William Park embarked with the Rev. Roger Williams, in ship Lion, in December 1630, arriving at Boston in February 1631. He became one of the founders of the first church of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and was its Deacon for many years. He was Deputy to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for 33 years, having the longest term of service in that capacity under the old Charter. Johnson, in his "Wonder-working Providence," calls him "a man of a pregnant understanding."

His will was dated Jul 20 1684, with codicil dated Apr 4 1685. He died on May 11 1685, age 79, with burial at the Roxbury burying ground. His will, probated on Jul 30 1685, made provision for schools and the poor of Roxbury, and "that every child and grandchild or grandchildren shall have, each of them, a new Bible bought and given unto them, out of what I have given unto my beloved wife."

"Martin Tichenor took the oath of allegiance at New Haven Colony in August 1644. This is the first known record of his presence in the colony. He and Mary Charles were married by the governor. ...

"The spelling of his name varies in New Haven records, but his will is signed 'Tichenor,' the spelling found most often in New Jersey records. The exception are found in a few records pertaining to this sons using single or double L's at the end of the name. Early tradition is that Martin Tichenor came from France. However, Taylor Tichenor, son of James Tichenor, whose genealogy is used in Teachenor's 'Partiail History of the Tichenor Family in America,' published in 1918, states that the most generally accepted tradition is that his ancestry is English, though of Dutch-Flemish derivation.

"A study of the Connecticut and New Jersey colonial records cited in Harold Tichenor's 'Tichenor Families in America,' published in 1988, suggests that Martin was a Puritan and most probably came from England. ...

"In 1665, New Haven and Connecticut were merged into one colony. This allowed baptism of children regardless of their parents' church affiliation. When the Puritans objected to this arrangement, ..." they opted to leave the colony and become homesteaders in New Jersey, arriving at the Passaic River in early May 1666. "No sooner did they begin to unload their supplies than Hackensack Indians confronted them to claim the land for themselves. Ultimately, the settlers purchased the land from the Indians ..."^{^[976]}

According to Northampton County, VA, court records, Christopher Nutter was born in 1642, probably in England, and died in Somerset County, MD in 1702. He emigrated to Northampton Co in August 1662. His wife, Mary Dorman, was an indentured servant of John Curtis. Christopher's will was probated in Somerset Co, MD, dated Dec 2, 1702.²⁹⁴

The Reverend John Huett's name appears in the Somerset County and Maryland provincial archives spelled variously as Huett, Huet, Hewett and Hewitt, but most commonly Huett, which was the spelling used by him in witnessing the will of John Evans, of Somerset Co, dated May 6, 1686. On February 19, 1661, John Huett was granted an annuity on account of his father's beheading. He was the resident clergyman of the Church of England in the county. It is believed that he was transported to Virginia in 1663 by Capt. Adam Thorogood. He returned to England, studied for "holy orders" and was ordained deacon, returning then to Somerset County in Maryland. In 1682 he returned once again to England, where he was ordained a priest by the Bishop of London. He returned again to Somerset County, where he remained the rest of his life. The Reverend John Huett appears to have been the first and only clergyman of the Church of England resident from late in the year 1680 until 1696. He gives to the Church of England, and her daughter the Protestant Episcopal Church, in this country a "Father Founder." Rev. John Huett was a true and courageous minister from whom we can draw inspiration. The ministry in Somerset was purely missionary in nature. The minister's work was door-to-door. Services must have been held in the homes of the planters, in store houses, barns or, in seasonable weather, in the open air, as no reference has been found to a house of worship. His work was not only pastoral and prophetic, to counsel and teach the people under his care, but also faithfully to minister the sacraments of the Gospel. The Reverend John Huett was elected by the freeholders of Somerset County on April 18, 1692 to represent Somerset in the Lower House of Assembly, but it was subsequently decided that it was improper for clergy to hold such office, so he was immediately named a chaplain to the Assembly. The Reverend John Huett's home plantation was called "Contention" in Somerset County. He died at his plantation and is buried there.

1536. Jean (John) Gaston, b. ca 1600 in Foix, France.^{^[986]}^{,^[987]}

Jean (John) Gaston of France was the first known ancestor of our Gaston family. There has been much speculation regarding his ancestry, ranging from descendancy from the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the possibility that he belonged to the Bourbon family and was a cousin to King Louis XIV of France. Jean Gaston belonged to a Protestant group known as Huguenots. On Apr 13 1598, King Henry IV of France endorsed the Edict of Nantes, which granted rights to the Protestant Huguenots. But the edict was abrogated in 1685 by King Louis XIV, who declared France entirely Catholic again and embarked on a policy of persecuting all Protestants. In the meantime, because of the political and religious climate, at age 40 Jean Gaston had fled with his family to Scotland, and his estate in France was confiscated. His brothers and sisters in France remained Catholics and sent money to him in Scotland until he became established there. Some 25 years later, his three sons fled Scotland for Ireland with their wives, also for religious reasons. Jean died in either Scotland or Ireland. [American Ancestry, Vol V, p. 104]

"That the Gaston family was a French family there is no doubt. As early as 1445, 'two gentlemen' of the name of Gaston, living at or near LaMothe St. Didier, became interested in what were believed to be wonderful cures wrought at the shrine of St. Andrew in that town, especially because one of these Gaston sons was there cured of the disease known as 'St. Anthony's Fire.' In consequence, they devoted their property to the work, and, seven other persons assisting, built a large hospital. The hospitallers soon founded the 'Congregation of Regular Canons of the Order of Anthony,' and one of the Gastons was made Grand Master of the Order. (See McClinton and Strong's "Cyclopaedia of Biblical Literature" (1894), Vol. I, p. 252). The name was common in France afterward. Alphonse Daudet, the noted French novelist, used the name 'Marie Gaston' as a pseudonym." [Anna Reger Gaston, "Gaston Family Lines of Somerset," published in the "Somerset County Historical Quarterly" in New Jersey]

There are numerous Gaston family crests, or coats of arms, pertaining to Gastons of various origins. Burke's "General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales" (Harrison & Sons, 1884) describes the one believed to be of our Gaston lineage as follows: GASTON of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Chequy argent. On gueule. Three escallops in bend or. Crest: an owl sable. Motto: Fama semper vivit.

An excellent resource pertaining to Gaston origins and related information is the website Planet Gaston, found at http://gaston.siteperso.net/ . Some Gaston researchers have attempted to show tenuous royal connections and paint a romanticized picture of the family history, and it is therefore likely that some embellishment of the facts has occurred over the years. A highly informative treatment of the facts and myths of the Gaston legend can be found at http://home.mindspring.com/~bgaston2/_images/Gaston_Legend.pdf .

This is a genealogy of the descendants of this Jean (John) Gaston, with particular emphasis on those branches of the family tree closest to the principal compilers, Samuel David Gaston and Geneva Gaston Brown. The information presented here was obtained from countless sources over many years of research. Wherever possible, the original source is documented, but the reader can rest assured that even when a source is not specified, the compilers were highly confident of the accuracy of the information before including it in this genealogy. By its very nature, this collection is a work in progress, and additional information regarding the early generations, as well as the current one, will be added as it becomes known. In that vein, the reader is invited to inform us of any errors or additional information for future updates.

Children:

i William Gaston, b. ca 1642 in Scotland, d. in Ireland, immigrated abt 1660-1668 to County Antrim, Ireland.⁹²⁰

William Gaston (b. 1642), along with his brothers, John and Alexander, went to County Antrim in Northern Ireland between 1662-1668. He is referred to by genealogists as "the first Irish William Gaston" to distinguish him from brother John's son William and others. He was the father of the Charleston, South Carolina, Gastons who emigrated in the 1760's-1770's from County Antrim, Ireland.^930,929

He married Unknown.

iii Alexander Gaston, b. 1648 in Scotland, d. in Ireland, immigrated abt 1660-1668 to County Antrim, Ireland.⁹²⁰

Alexander Gaston, along with his brothers, John and William, went to County Antrim in Northern Ireland between 1662 and 1668, during the time of the persecution of Protestants in Scotland. Alexander Gaston left many descendants in and around Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland. One of them was a certain Miss Gaston of Killycowan, who was reportedly the great-grandmother of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur. (Exact lineage not specified, has never been determined, and the connection is considered tenuous at best. The genealogy of President Chester A. Arthur can be found at various websites, including our own treatment at www.doddridgecountyroots.com/register/arthur.htm )^933,920

1537. Agnes ___, d. aft 1650 in Melrose, Roxburghshire, Scotland.

Some researchers identify Agnes as possibly the daughter of Phillip of Navarre, and it is also said that she was accused of witchcraft in 1650 [per "Surnames of Scotland" by George F. Black]. But other researchers have convincingly refuted those assertions, and have further cast doubt that the wife of Jean Gaston was named Agnes at all. Although we side more with the skeptics, we nonetheless report Jean Gaston's wife as Agnes simply out of tradition.^{^[988]}^,921

1554. John Oliphant, b. ca 1640 in Pencaitland, Lothian, Scotland, d. in New Jersey.

The first Oliphant to come to America was William Oliphant, "The Covenanter," who was arrested in June 1685 for attendance at a conventicle, or meeting of the Presbyterians, imprisoned with others at London, Leith and Dunottar Castle, and then exiled to His Majesty's plantation in East Jersey, under sentence of death should he return to his native land. The ship sailed from Perth on Sep 5 1685, reaching New Jersey in December. Shortly after William was sentenced to exile, his parents, John and Janet (Gilchrist) Oliphant of Pencaitland, indentured themselves and their minor daughters, Margaret and Janet, to John Hancock, of Edinburgh, to serve him for four years in New Jersey, for their passage over and room, board and other necessities. After the four years, Hancock was to grant John Oliphant 25 acres of land in America, along with one cow, two sows, and was to plow one acre of land and give him corn to plant. Tradition says that John had lost his property because of the heavy fines imposed on him by the English for his loyalty to the Presbyterian cause. Most researchers assume that the Oliphant family sailed to America aboard the Henry and Francis of Newcastle, which was used to transport various religious prisoners and interested emigrants to New Jersey. It appears that William was among the dissenters, while the other Oliphants joined him voluntarily to seek a new life in America.

He married ca 1660 in Scotland, Janet Gilchrist.

On 3/17/1680, he purchased from Isaac Deschamps, a merchant of NYC, a 2-acre home lot, a 40-acre farm lot and four meadows in Bedford. He built a house and resided there. He bequeathed his estate by will dated 9/26/1683 "to his children" but did not name them. But Thomas and Jasper were the two sons, as they subsequently conveyed the same property to another in 1696.⁸⁹⁸

The De Louzada family were Sephardic Jews. During the Spanish Inquisition, Jews were forced to become practicing Catholics, or else be burned at the stake or escape to another country. The Jews who joined the Catholic Church were called "conversos." Many of these conversos remained secret Jews and were called "marranos," literally "pigs" in Spanish. Jacob De Louzada was probably such a secret Jew, since he and Rachel remarried in a Synagogue when they had an opportunity. Jacob and Rachel had fled from Spain to Portugal and then to England.

After the death of Rachel in 1708, Jacob and his two sons, Aaron and Moses, emigrated in 1710 to America where Jacob became a wealthy chocolate merchant in New York. Jacob was buried in the Chatham Square Burial Grounds in New York City, but his body was removed on June 9, 1856 to the 21st Street Burial Grounds to accommodate mercantile growth in the city. Jacob's gravestone is inscribed in Hebrew.^859,858

2066. Edward Winn, d. Sep- 5-1682 in Woburn, Middlesex Co, MA.^{^[991]}

Edward Winn was born possibly in Wales, but more probably in England. He came from England to America with his wife Joanna (or Jane), and three children. It is conjectured that he was a master builder, and that he came from Ipswich, England or vicinity, and that Moses Cleveland was his apprentice and accompanied him to America. He was in Charlestown, Massachusetts prior to Dec 18 1640, and was in Woburn, Massachusetts after that, being one of the original planners of the town. He was made a freeman on May 10 1643 and became one of the leading men in town affairs. He was chosen a town officer, a surveyor for sale in 1658-59, and a selectman in 1669.^{^[992]}

2072. Thomas Paine.

According to varying traditions, Thomas Paine was from Kent County, England, or from North of England. He came to Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621, or to America in 1624 in a fishing vessel. He was a fisherman at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In 1639 he was deputy from Yarmouth to the First General Court at Plymouth. He was living in Yarmouth as of 1650.⁹⁰⁷

2074. Nicholas Snow, b. in England, d. Nov- -1676 in Eastham, Barnstable Co, MA, immigrated Jul- -1623 at Plymouth, Massachusetts.^{^[993]}

A plaque in the Eastham, Massachusetts, Town Hall reads as follows:

"To the memory of Nicholas Snow, who arrived at Plymouth on the Anne in 1623 and was an original purchaser and one of the first founders of Nauset in 1644, an incorporator of the town renamed Eastham in 1651, the first clerk of the town holding that office seventeen years from 1646 to 1662. Deputy to the General Court from 1648 to 1652. Selectman from 1663 to 1670. Also surveyor of highways.

He was born in England and died at Eastham November 16, 1676. About 1625 he married at Plymouth Constance Hopkins, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, both of whom came on the Mayflower in 1620. From this union came 12 children. His home was at Skaket, now Orleans.

To commemorate his sturdy manhood with the assurance of his faithful service to the company of pioneers with which he was associated, this memorial is erected by his descendant in five lines, Elbridge Gerry Snow, 1916."

She journeyed with her father and stepmother, Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins, her brother Giles, her half-sister Damaris and her half-brother Oceanus, who was born during the voyage.

Sometime before 1627, Constance Hopkins married Nicholas Snow, who had arrived at Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. The inventory of Nicholas’ estate, taken at the time of his death, includes carpenter’s tools. This may have been his trade. His inventory also included books, so he was probably literate. Nicholas held various minor positions in Plymouth, such as highway surveyor. The Snows moved from Plymouth to Nauset, on Cape Cod in the 1640s. On the Cape, Nicholas served as surveyor, constable and selectman. Constance and Nicholas had 12 children. Nicholas died in November of 1676, Constance a year later in October of 1677.

4150. Stephen Hopkins, b. ca 1581 in England,^{^[997]}^{,^[998]} d. Jun- 6-1644 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, immigrated Nov- -1620 at Plymouth, Massachusetts.⁹⁹³

Stephen Hopkins, a descendant of Sir Richard Hopkins of Coventry, England, was a tanner and merchant who was one of the passengers on the Mayflower in 1620, arriving with his family and settling in Plymouth Colony. Hopkins was recruited by the Merchant Adventurers to provide governance for the colony as well as to assist with the colony's ventures. He was a member of a group of passengers known to the Pilgrims as "The Strangers" since they were not part of the Pilgrims' religious congregation. Hopkins was one of forty-one signatories of the Mayflower Compact and was an assistant to the governor of the colony through 1636.

It is believed that the Stephen Hopkins who arrived on the Mayflower was the man of that name who had arrived in Virginia in 1609 aboard the new flagship of the Virginia Company, the Sea Venture, with Sir George Somers took the helm. He held the position of Minister's Clerk, serving as lay reader to the chaplain of the fleet. The ship was enroute to the Jamestown Colony in Virginia with much needed supplies when it was deliberately driven onto the reefs of Bermuda to prevent its foundering as a result of the damage it had sustained during a severe storm. All 150 passengers, crew and a dog survived the mishap. The ship's longboat was fitted with a mast and sent to Virginia for help, but it and its crew were never seen again. While stranded on the island, Stephen Hopkins attempted to start a mutiny, for which he was sentenced to death. But he was eventually set free after complaining of the "ruin of his wife and children." Hopkins and the remaining survivors spent nine months on Bermuda building two smaller ships, the Deliverance and Patience, from Bermuda cedar and materials salvaged from the Sea Venture. He and the other castaways eventually made their way to Jamestown, where Hopkins appears to have stayed for (some say) two years before returning to England. The Hopkins family is considered one of the First Families of Virginia. The story of the Sea Venture shipwreck, and Hopkins' mutiny, is said to be the inspiration for "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare.

The Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society was founded in 2005 to perpetuate the memory of the Hopkins family who arrived on the “Mayflower” in 1620. The Society encourages research on Stephen Hopkins, one of the most colorful and independent-minded Mayflower passengers, on his first wife, Mary, his second wife, Elizabeth, and on their descendants. The Society assists descendants of the Pilgrim Hopkins family to acquire proof of eligibility for membership into the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Tortworth is a small hamlet and civil parish near Thornbury in South Gloucestershire, England. It is noted for a huge and ancient chestnut tree, believed to be over 1000 years old. The tree, in St. Leonard's churchyard, looks like a small woods because many branches of the main trunk have descended and taken root. Boundary records compiled in the reign of John already showed the "Great Chestnut of Tortworth" in South Gloucestershire as a landmark. It was also known by the same name in the days of Stephen. This tree measured over 50 feet in circumference at 5 feet from the ground in 1720.⁹⁹⁴

^{^[38]} Immediate family, No birth record has been found for Clella Haught, who was born out of wedlock to Nancy "Babe" Haught. According to family tradition, Clella's father was Sylvester Orval Prunty (1878-1956), son of Marshall Neal Prunty and Flora Odell Lawson. However, Clella's marriage record identifies her as Clella M. Haught, daughter of F. O. Prunty and A. A. (Haught) Brown. It was long thought that "F. O." was an error that should have been "S. O." But information provided in 2010 by a Prunty family member reveals the existence of old family letters indicating that Clella's father was not Sylvester O. Prunty, but rather his brother Felix O. Prunty (1883-1967). Apparently out of shame, Felix had left the Doddridge/Ritchie area in 1904 shortly before Clella's birth, returned in 1907 long enough to get married, then moved permanently to Oklahoma. There is no evidence that Felix had any further relationship with Nancy or with Clella.

Officers of the Wisconsin 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment were Colonel Charles C. Meservey; Lieutenant Colonel Jacob T. Foster; and Majors Charles C. Meservey, L. H. Drury, Richard W. Hubbell and David C. Fulton. The regiment originated in Dec 1861 as a detached company of 2nd Wisconsin Infantry and was stationed at Fort Cass. On Aug 28 1862, a detachment of 40 men, with three pieces of artillery, was sent to garrison Fort Buffalo, an exposed post, where it repulsed an enemy attack. It returned to Fort Cass in Sep 1862, moved to Fort Ellsworth in November, and was transferred to Fort Worth in May 1863. In Jun 1863, Capt. Meservey was authorized to recruit a battalion of four batteries of heavy artillery, using the original battery as a basis. Battery A moved in October from Fort Worth to Battery Rodgers, where it remained until May 1864, and was then transferred to Fort Willard (Fort Willard Circle and Glen Drive, off Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria, VA). It returned to Battery Rodgers in August and was mustered out at Washington on Aug 18 1865. The entire regiment's original strength was 1,777, with gains by recruits (407), draft (4) and reentlistments (29) bringting to total to 2,217. Losses were by death (73), desertion (70), transfer (28), discharge (223), unaccounted for (3), and mustered out (1,820). (Sources: "Civil War Regiments from Wisconsin," by Lt. Col. Jerome A.

^{^[77]} 1850 Census, Note: Earl Perry Crandall, citing NBV : VARS' Records; Vol II, p. 171, reports Almira's birth as Mar 18 1845 in Plainfield, Otsego Co, NY. But this was actually for a different person, Almira Saunders, daughter of William M. Saunders & Catherine Beedle.

^{^[78]} Presumed, In an affidavit filed by son Addison in 1935 to establish his date of birth, he stated that his mother had died when he was about age six. This would put her death in about 1887 or 1888. In 1915, in an application for membership in the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal benificiary society, Addison stated that his mother died at age 44 of "inflammation of bowels." The location was probably in Minnesota, since Almira was there for the 1885 Census, husband Ammi is known from a land purchase to have been there in 1890, and his move to Washington State occurred in 1893.

^{^[84]} Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, Name listed as David B. Haught, the middle initial being an obvious error. His birthplace was given as Doddridge Co, and death place as Greene Co, PA, but it is certain that those should be reversed. Occupation given as "retired farmer," and marital status as widowed. Parents identified as Peter Haught (b. in Pennsylvania) and Basheba Musgrave (b. in West Virginia). Handwritten entry gives date of birth as 5/14/1843, but age at death (79y, 6m, 25d) puts birth at 5/14/1848, which coincides with other sources. Cause of death listed as pulmonary tuberculosis.

MR Bk 1-A, p. 122, shows that the marriage occurred in Doddridge Co on Jan 5 1858. At first glance, the latter entry looks like July 5 1858, but closer examination of the elegant handwritten entry reveals that what appears to be "July" is actually "Jany," the common abbreviation for January in those days.

Clarksburg Daily Telegram, Friday, Feb 15 1924.

^{^[335]} WV State Dept of Health, Div of Vital Statistics, Death Certificate (http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx), Previous reporting of William "Billy" Hart's death in 1895 was in error. That report was based on Doddridge County Probate Records (Bk 1, p. 168) showing that on Aug 13 1895, Isaac Husk was appointed "guardian of Rosa (sic) A. Hart, orphan of William Hart and Sarah J. Hart." Sarah Husk Hart had died in Jan 1879, and Isaac Husk was the child's grandfather. Billy Hart remarried his cousin Mary Catherine "Kate" Hart in Sep 1879, and they later divorced, presumably prior to the 1895 court action for guardianship. Harrison County Marriage Records show that this William Hart remarried Eliza Harlow on Jan 4 1901.

Subsequent reporting of his death occurring on Jul 8 1927 was also incorrect. That was based on a family history survey conducted by W. Guy Tetrick in 1931 and completed by William's nephew John W. Hart, stating that William Hart was born on June 5 1850 and died on July 8 1927. Both of those dates have since been found to be incorrect.

Age 19 yrs 6 months given at time of William's marriage in Apr 1870 would put birth date at about Oct 1850. More significantly, Harrison County death records show that William Hart, widowed, born Sep 26 1850, died Feb 14 1924 in the town of Ocean Mines (Simpson District), burial at Mt. Zion Church Cemetery. (Headstone there is hand-inscribed with birth date 1850, but incorrect death date of 1923.) Identificaton of his parents as William Hart and ___ Harlow by informant George Hart of Ocean Mines (relationship not stated, but determined to be William's son) is considered an error, apparently stemming from the informant providing the names of his own parents, rather than those of the deceased.

The ceremony itself was held Aug 25 1853. Groom identified as Josiah Hart, age 24, born in Baltimore MD. Bride identified as Mary Mathew, age 18, b. Preston County. Her given age would put birth in about 1835, but 1900 Census gives her age as 68 and states her birthdate as Jan 1832. MR Bk 1 listed bride's parents as Humphrey & Sarah Ann Mathew, but MR Bk 1-B identified her father as Overfield Matthews.

^{^[539]} Death record of husband, He was identified as a widower at the time of his death in Feb 1909.

^{^[540]} Headstone, Reports of Sarah Garrett Hart's death date as Apr 3 1850 are incorrect. They are based on a reading of a damaged portion of her headstone, which appeared to bear that date. But the 1850 Census of Doddridge County, enumerated on July 23 1850, shows that she was residing with her husband in the home of their son John. A re-examination of a photograph of the headstone shows that what had appeared to be a zero as the last digit of the year 1850 was more likely the upper portion of an eight, making the death date Apr 3 1858. The lower portion of the headstone has become even more damaged since the photo was taken. No death record was found for her at Doddridge County.

^{^[792]} Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ <EmpCary@cs.com>, The Pritchard Family History (Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1999, rev 2001), "There are several explanations why John Prichard dropped the 't' from his surname. Because clerks filling out many of his Revolutionary War documents used this spelling, he may have decided to adopt it for legal purposes. His younger brother, William, also eventually dropped the 't', although it was retained in some of his earlier legal papers.

"One intriguing factor which may have considerable bearing upon their decision is the influx into western Virginia - notably Monongalia County - of Melungeons (or Guineas) with the surname Pritchard. These people were regarded by their neighbors as 'half-breeds,' as they often were a mixture of Portugese, Spanish, Turkish, Muslim, American Indian, and - more infrequently - blacks. Since the Pritchards and other settlers in the area were proud of their English and Welsh heritage, they did not wish to be mistaken for 'mixed breeds.' Both John and William may have chosen this means of distancing themselves from people they considered to be undesirable, because once the connection was made, it was almost impossible to undo. ... Besides Pritchard (with a 't'), other common Melungeon surnames in western Virginia were Dalton, Goens, Kennedy, Mayle, Minard, Minor, and Norris. ... A detailed account of them is found in 'The Melungeons: The Resurrection of a Proud People - An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America' by N. Brent Kennedy (Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, September 1996.)", p. 56, 58.

^{^[986]} Albert F. Koehler, The Huguenots, or The Early French in New Jersey , original publication 1955 by Clearfield Co, republished 1992-2003 by Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD, The Gaston entry in its entirety: "The Gaston family was originally from Foix, Southern France. The earliest certain ancestor of the New Jersey Gastons was John Gaston, a Huguenot, born about 1600 in France. The family fled to Scotland where John married and among other children had three sons, John, William and Alexander, who later emigrated to County Antrim, Ireland, about 1660-1680. Joseph Gaston, son of John of Ireland, was born about 1700 in Ireland and came to New Jersey with his brothers Hugh, John and Alexander. It is presumed that their arrival was through the port of Perth Amboy about 1720. Joseph Gaston lived in Bernards Twp, Somerset County, where he died in 1777, leaving his wife Margaret. The widow, Margaret, moved to Hardwick Twp, Sussex County, with her son Joseph, where she died on August 31, 1795, aged 90 years.", pp. 21-22.

^{^[987]} Charles A. Hanna, Ohio Valley Genealogies , Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore MD, 1989 (orig. pub. 1900), Hanna was not definitive regarding Jean Gaston's birthplace, stating that he was born "about 1600, in Scotland (or France), of Huguenot descent." Although he does not provide a date or identify Jean's wife by name, he does specify that Jean married in Scotland. p. 40.

It was in use 1829-1851. Shearith Israel, the first Jewish congregation in North America, was formed in 1654 by Spanish and Portuguese Jews who journeyed from Recife, Brazil, seeking refuge from the Inquisition. While New Amsterdam's city fathers did not recognize freedom of worship, they respected the Jews' right to their own consecrated burial ground. Shearith Israel purchased the cemetery plot on West 21st Street in 1829 for $2,750. It, too, was on the outskirts of the expanding city, which for sanitary reasons had prohibited interment below Grand Street after the yellow fever epidemic of 1822. In 1832 the congregation bought land extending the cemetery east to Sixth Avenue and south to 20th Street. Fifty years later the land was sold to Hugh O'Neal, who built a dry goods store there. Shearith Israel used the cemetery for burials until 1851. That year, New York City prohibited burials south of 86th Street and the establishment of any new cemeteries within city limits. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2260432.
