11. JOHN CUMMINGS, (John,3 John,2 Isaac,1) married, Oct. 3,
1705 (recorded in Charlestown),
Elizabeth Adams. He died in Westford, where he was an early
settler, Apr. 27, 1759. She died Apr.
30, 1759, only three days after. His farm was on Stoney brook.
"Samuel Spalding deeded to John
Cummings, of Chelmsford, land on Stoney brook, Jan. 19,
1721-2," near present railroad station,
including land latterly owned by Mr. Geo. B. Dupee and Sarah
Cummings. He bought land as early as
1707. His dwelling was probably near Mr. Dupee's and the Great
Elm. He was moderator of the
meeting called in the west precinct of Chelmsford, to make
choice of a minister, May 2, 1727. He
was called deacon then, although the second church was not
orgamized until August following. Rev.
E. R. Hodgman (History of Westford to whom as well as to his
history this compiler is much
indebted), infers that he had been deacon in the first church
before this time. He was elected deacon,
however, in the new precinct in Dec., 1727. He was moderator of
the first recorded town meeting in
Westford, Mar. 2, 1729-30, and was chosen one of the first
board of selectmen. He appears on the
board during 13 years. He was town clerk in 1736.
CHILDREN:
I. Elisabeth, born Aug. 24, 1706, in Chelmsford. She is

lived
on the West side of Salmon brook. It is related of
him
that he once went to search with others, for a
neighbor
named Whitney, who having escaped from the Indians,
had built himself a hut in the bushes. Approaching
this hut, and seeing a movement in the bushes, Read fired and
killed Whitney, the memory of which saddened his
remaining
years. His wife died Nov. 3, 1778, in Dunstable.

4. JOHN CUMMINGS (John2, Isaac1) married Sept. 13, 1680, Elisabeth,
daughter of Samuel and
Hannah (Bracket) Kinsley, of Billerica, Mass. Hannah Bracket,
daughter of Capt. Richard and Alice,
was baptised Nov. 4, 1634, in Boston. He is probably the John
who is designated as "Serg't
Cummings," and was one of a small garrison in Dunstable
established Dec. 25, 1702, under command
of Lt. Col. Jonathan Tyng. It is usually stated that it was the
garrison at his own house which was
assaulted, July 3, 1706, by a party of two hundred Mohawk
Indians. His house stood on the right
hand of the road from Dunstable to the present town of
Tyngsborough, about a half mile from the
former place. The stories of the attack are not harmonious in
all particulars. It seems to be agreed that
there was a company of soldiers in the garrison at the time and
that they were surprised. "At sunset a
Mr. Cummings and his wife went out to milk their cows and left
the gate open. The Indians who had
advanced undiscovered, started up, shot Mrs .Cummings dead
('Goody Cummings died July 3, 1706,
at night.') upon the spot, and wounded her husband who had his
arm broken, but was so fortunate as
to reach the woods while the Indians were engaged in the house.
That night he lay in a swamp in the
northerly part of Tyngsborough, about a quarter of a mile west
of the great road, and a few rods
south of the state line. The next day he arrived at the
garrison near Tyngsborough Village." (1. N. H.
Hist. Coll. 133.) He is spoken of as selectman in 1711 and in
the same year the house of Mr. John
Cummings was reported as one of seven fortified houses in
Dunstable, having two families, two males,
two soldiers, and twenty-one persons in all. "Sarg't Cummings &
Henry Farwell were deputed in
1717, Jan. 10, by vote of the town to get a minister as soon as
they can." May 20th, 1725, after the sad occasion of Capt. Lovewell's
defeat, both John Cummings and John Cummings Jr. joined with
the Selectmen and other citizens in
petitioning the Governor and Council of Mass. for protection in
the defenceless condition of the
community. The question arises whether the elder John had
remarried. It is on record that"John
Cummings of Groton, weaver, and wife Elisabeth, widow of John
Sollendino, sold land in Groton,
1732." Sollendino was married 1679-80, to Elisabeth Usher, said
to be the first marriage in
Dunstable. He was a carpenter and helped build the meetinghouse
in 1677 and a bridge over Salmon
Creek, 1699. His house was one of seven garrisons in 1711.
CHILDREN:
11. i. John, born July 7, 1682.
12. ii. Samuel, born Oct. 6, 1684.
iii. Elisabeth, born Jan. 5, 1687, married Joseph French,
son of
Samuel and Sarah (Cummings) French (2, iv.) and
born
Mar. 10, 1687. A Captain Joseph French lived in
1717 at
the first house on the main road to Tyngsborogh 8
rods
northerly of the State line and he was to
"entertain the
minister." He was selectman in 1725.
Children of Joseph French:
1. Joseph, born July 28, 1713, married, first,
Bridget,
who died Oct. 29, 1735, aged 29; married,

Col.
in the inscription.

SECOND GENERATION.
2. JOHN CUMMINGS (Isaac1) married Sarah Howlet. She was a
daughter of Serg't Thos. and
Alice (French) Howlet, who was commoner, 3 Mar. 1634, Repr.
1635, granted a house lot in
Woburn, 1635, purchased 40 acres there, 1637, serg't 1643,
ensign 1646, had one share and a half
in Plum Island (Ipswich) 1666, and died, 1668 (78?) ae. 79. His
wife, Alice, died June 26, 166-(6?),
and he left a widow Rebekah, who died in Newbury, Nov. 1, 1680.
Sarah had a brother William, at
whose request, John Howlet, a nephew of Wm., deeded, May 20,
1715, 70 acres in Ipswich to her
grandson, Joseph Cummings. John Cummings, (listed among the
commoners, 1672) by his father's
will, 1677, was made sole executor and given the "house and
lands, 40 acres more or less," from
which were to be paid the legacies to other heirs. In 1661, he
was taxed 10s. in Rowley Village
(Boxford). Four hundred acres were laid off there to him and
Thomas Dorman and Robert Stiles.
This was bordered on the west by the Andover line. In 1678-9,
he is spoken of as "a gatherer" in
Boxford of a rate "to procure powder and bullets." Both himself
and wife were members of the
Topsfield church and dismissed, but he "without
recommendation," Dec. 6th 1685. But on the 16th of
the same month he was one of seven males mentioned as having
entered into covenant to form the
church in Dunstable. He had become a proprietor, one of the
first fourteen proprietors, of that new
town, some three years before, Nov. 30, 1682. Jonathan Tyng
deeded lands to him and to Isaac,
John Jr., and Thomas Cummings at the same time, Jan. 29, 1683.
He was selectman in 1682, and for
several years town clerk. He died Dec. 1, 1700, and his wife
Dec. 7, following.
Of his children, Nathaniel, Thomas, Sarah, William, Eliezer,
Benjamin and Samuel are recorded in the Essex County records at Salem.
The birthdays of the others
are not known. As respects Isaac and Ebenezer, Fox's Dunstable
says: "These two were either killed
by the Indians or drowned, as they died Nov. 2, 1688, and were
not buried for many days after." Mr.
Kimball Webster, of Hudson, N. H., quotes from Dunstable
records as follows: "Isaac Cummings,
son of John and Sarah, departed the 2 Nov., and was buried the
20th Nov. 1688."

FIRST GENERATION.
1. ISAAC CUMMINGS appears on a list of the "Commoners" of
Ipswich, Mass., on the last day of
the year 1641. He is said to have had, as early as July 1638, a
planting lot in "Reedy Marsh," and a
house lot in town. An old record is quoted in Essex Co. Hist. &
Gen. Register, to wit: "Whereas
Isaac Comings...Sold Andrew Hodges of this town all the said
seven acres of land, more or less, lying
near highway to Jeffries Neck, 1639, 26, (6)." The name appears
on a list of Freemen in Watertown,
1642. In 1652, Samuel Symonds and his wife Martha sell him in
consideration of œ30, 150 acres
"joining partly on Daniel Clark's land." This Clark was an
early settler of Topsfield. Mr. Samuel Todd,
who married one of the Cummings descendants, and who had given
much attention to this research,
once wrote me: "There is evidence that the first Isaac owned
considerable land on the west side of
Howlet's (then Winthrop's) brook, pretty near two miles N. W.
of the old Cummings place on this
side of the river." "One hundred acres lying on the westerly
side and fifty acres on the easterly side,"
so says Historical Collections, Vol. V. of Topsfield Historical
Society.
In 1666 he was constable, and his son Isaac was his deputy, and
in a deposition he states his age to
be 65. The same year he was assessed 4s. 7d. to pay the town's
indebtedness. He was deacon of the
church, and in 1676, at least, moderator of the town meeting.
No mention remains of his wife nor of
her name. She was not living when his will was made, May 8,
1677. It is on file in the probate office,
but unrecorded.
Will of Isaac Sr:
"The last will and testament of Isaac Comins Senier. I, being
sencable of my approaching desolution,
being at present weak in body yet perfect in my understanding,
having by the grace of God bene helped to provid for my future state in
another world: doe now in ordering of what
God hath been pleased to bestow upon me of the blessings of
this life, take care and order that, in the
first place, my debts be duly paid. nextly I doe by this my

Isaac the ten acres of division land, on the south side of the

and key: item, my history book with
such books as are his own, viz. a bible and testament. item, I
doe give him ten pounds to be paid at

forty acres, more or less, consisting of upland and meadow with
all the privileges and emoluments
thereof and apertainances thereunto belonging provided that
this land shall stand bound in part and in
wholl for the payment of these legacyes and in case the said
legacyes shall not be payd according to
my will, the land shall be sold and payment be made out of the
price thereof and the remainder shall
be to the executor. Item, my will further is that if any of
these my children shall through discontent att
what is done for them in this my will, cause trouble to arise
to the executor that then there shall be
nothing pay'd to him or them, but the legacy or legacyes willed
to them shall return to and remain in
the hands of the executor as his proper right. My desire
further is that Isaac Foster and Thomas
Dorman would take care that this my will be duly performed.

6. NATHAN2 SHED (Daniel1), the youngest child of Daniel1 and
Elizabeth Shed, was born in
Billerica, Mass., 5 Feb. 1668/9, and became a freeman 18 May
1685. Of his brothers, Daniel the
eldest had died and the others were established in homes of
their own, so it was quite natural that his
father should look upon him, the last at the fireside, with
especial favor and as the one to receive the
remainder of his property, and from whom he should ask care and
support due to advancing age.
About the time of Nathan's marriage in 1694 he agreed with his
parents for their future maintenance,
the written covenant thereto was recorded at Cambridge, and a
full copy of it has been previously
given in the account of the father Daniel1 Shed. (See ante,
page 43.)
Thus we see that Nathan2 Shed was possessed at the start of his
married life of a large and valuable
estate, which he increased by later acquisitions and grants. In
the general distribution of the common
lands of the town in 1707 his share was in the proportion of a
"four acre lot" (i. e. 4/10 of the unit right
of 125 acres). The next year (1708) his apportionment was 39
acres from the commons west of the
Concord River; his land was near Chelmsford line and within the
later limits of that town. His house
was doubtless the same that his father occupied and was
situated near the centre of what is now
Billerica village on the easterly side of the Concord or
Bedford road, on the estate in recent years

WILLIAM FRENCH, aged 30, came to New England in the ship Defence in 1685,
with his wife
Elizabeth (aged 30 or 32) and four children, Francis aged 10,
Elizabeth 6, Mary 2 1/2, and John 5
months. William French is entered on the passenger list as
servant to Mr. Harlakenden, "no doubt for
purposes of deception," Savage says. Emigration at that time
was not the unrestricted right of English
Puritans. The child John was baptized on their arrival at New
Towne (Cambridge) by the Rev.
Thomas Hooker, a fellow-passenger whose name does not appear on
the shipping list, since his
departure, had it been known to the authorities, would no doubt
have been prevented.
In the French family at Cambridge other children were born:
Sarah, Jacob, two Hannahs, a Samuel
who died young, and a second Samuel, whose birth is not
recorded, who became a pioneer of
Dunstable, N. H. William French was made a freeman of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony the 3rd of
March 1635/6, and a member of the Ancient & Honorable Artillery
Company in 1638. His home in
Cambridge was on what is now the westerly side of Dunster
Street about midway between Harvard
Square and Mt. Auburn Street. He bought this property in 1639
and sold it to William Barrett (See
Barrett) June 10th, 1656:--my now mansion house scittuated in
Cambridge before named with about
halfe a rood of land adjoyning to the same and planted with
fruit trees.
"Strength Out of Weaknesse; Or a Glorious Manifestation of the
Further Progresse of the Gospel
Among the Indians in New-England" is the title of a compilation
of letters &c dealing with the work of
the Rev. John Eliot. It was published in London in 1652. Known
as Eliot Tract #6 (and a copy now
priced at one hundred dollars) it contains a
question-and-answer interview which William French hadcompilation.

4, pp. 192-3.)
Settlement of Billerica (Shawshin) was begun about 1653 and
William French was one of the first
proprietors. The town was incorporated in 1655 and in the
printed account of the celebration of the
two hundredth anniversary it is stated (giving as reference
Rec. Mass. vol. iv, pt. 2, p. 383) that in
1659 Lt. French, for Billerica and Chelmsford, was empowered to
join in marriage within those towns
or limits such persons as shall desire the same, being
authorized by law. In March 1659/60, when the
first selectmen (townsmen was the old name) were chosen, he was
one of the five. As Lieutenant in
the local militia he did garrison duty during King Philip's war.
Elizabeth, his wife, died in Billerica March 31, 1668 and he
married, May 6, 1669, Mary Stearns
(daughter of Thomas and Sarah Lothrop and widow of John
Stearns). Their children were Mary,
Sarah, Abigail (who died young) and Hannah. Lt. William died
the 20th of November 1681. His will
was dated the 5th of June 1679 and was proved December 20,
1681. In it he called himself aged
about 76 years. Having already given to his other children
their portions, the estate, except for
legacies to grandchildren, was left to his widow and her
daughters. The widow married, June 29,
1687, Isaac Mixer of Watertown, Mass.

GENEALOGY
OF
OUR BRANCH OF THE ADAMS FAMILY,
AS DEDUCED FROM HENRY ADAMS,1 OF BRAINTREE, MASS.
I. HENRY ADAMS.1
HENRY ADAMS1 was the first settler of our line in this country.
He came from England to America
about 1634 with his wife, eight sons, and one daughter, and
settled at Mount Wollaston (subsequently
named Braintree, now Quincy), Massachusetts. Here, on February
24, 1639-40, the town of Boston
granted him forty acres of land for the ten persons then
composing his family, and he continued to live
there until his death. He probably died October 6, 1646, as it
appears by the town records that he was buried October 8,
1646. From what place in England he emigrated is somewhat
problematical. The inscription placed
upon the column erected to his memory by his
great-great-grandson, John Adams, second President
of the United States, reads as follows:
"In memory of Henry Adams, who took his flight from the Dragon
persecution, in Devonshire in
England, and alighted with eight sons near Mt. Wollaston. One
of the sons returned to England; and,
after taking time to explore the country, four removed to
Medfield and the neighboring towns, and
two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left
hand, remained here, who was an
original proprietor in the township of Braintree, incorporated
1639.
"This stone and several others have been placed in this yard by
a great-great-grandson, from a
veneration of the piety, humility, simplicity, prudence,
patience, temperance, frugality, industry, and
perseverance of his ancestors, in hopes of recommending an
imitation of their virtues to their
posterity."
The later and more approved opinion, however, and the one
entertained by John Quincy Adams, is
that he came, with others, his fellow-settlers, from Braintree,
Essex County, England. He left a will,
probated at Boston, June 8, 1647, in which mention is made of
five of his sons, his wife (whose name
is not stated), and his only daughter Ursula. An abstract of
this will may be seen in the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, vol. vii. page 35.*
It is believed that the widow and daughter returned to England,
accompanied by the son John,2
shortly after the death of Henry,1 and that they (the mother
and daughter) never returned to America,
as no trace of them can be found since the death of Henry.1

Notes for Henry Adams:
GENEALOGY
OF
OUR BRANCH OF THE ADAMS FAMILY,
AS DEDUCED FROM HENRY ADAMS,1 OF BRAINTREE, MASS.
I. HENRY ADAMS.1
HENRY ADAMS1 was the first settler of our line in this country. He came
from England to
America
about 1634 with his wife, eight sons, and one daughter, and settled at
Mount Wollaston
(subsequently
named Braintree, now Quincy), Massachusetts. Here, on February 24,
1639-40, the town of
Boston
granted him forty acres of land for the ten persons then composing his
family, and he continued to
live
there until his death. He probably died October 6, 1646, as it appears by
the town records that he
was buried October 8,
1646. From what place in England he emigrated is somewhat problematical.
The inscription placed
upon the column erected to his memory by his great-great-grandson, John
Adams, second President
of the United States, reads as follows:
"In memory of Henry Adams, who took his flight from the Dragon
persecution, in Devonshire in
England, and alighted with eight sons near Mt. Wollaston. One of the sons
returned to England; and,
after taking time to explore the country, four removed to Medfield and
the neighboring towns, and
two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand,
remained here, who was an
original proprietor in the township of Braintree, incorporated 1639.
"This stone and several others have been placed in this yard by a
great-great-grandson, from a
veneration of the piety, humility, simplicity, prudence, patience,
temperance, frugality, industry, and
perseverance of his ancestors, in hopes of recommending an imitation of
their virtues to their
posterity."
The later and more approved opinion, however, and the one entertained by
John Quincy Adams, is
that he came, with others, his fellow-settlers, from Braintree, Essex
County, England. He left a will,
probated at Boston, June 8, 1647, in which mention is made of five of his
sons, his wife (whose
name
is not stated), and his only daughter Ursula. An abstract of this will
may be seen in the New England
Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. vii. page 35.*
It is believed that the widow and daughter returned to England,
accompanied by the son John,2
shortly after the death of Henry,1 and that they (the mother and
daughter) never returned to
America,
as no trace of them can be found since the death of Henry.1 John,2
* Abstract of the Will of Henry Adams, of Braintree, Mass., copied from
the New England
Historical
and Genealogical Register:
"First, my will is, that my sonne Peter and John, and my dau. Vrsula,
shall have the ground in the
Neck, both vpland and meddow, during the terme I was to enjoy it, vntil

Increase Nowell, Sec.
however, married his wife, Ann, in England, and had a daughter born
there, returned to America
about 1650, and settled in Concord, Mass.

Genealogical Records of Descendants of John and Anthony Emery
Page 309
PART II.
ANTHONY EMERY AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
1 ANTHONY EMERY, second son of John and Agnes Emery, was born
in Romsey, Hants,
England; married Frances (???), and came to America in the ship
"James," landing in Boston, June 3,
1635. He was probably in Ipswich, Mass., in the following
August, and soon after settled in
Newbury, where he lived until about 1640.
A court record of Dec. 22, 1637, shows that he was a brother of
John, and a similar record of June
10, 1638, that he was then residing in Newbury.
He removed to Dover, New Hampshire, about 1640, and Oct. 22, of
that year, signed the "Dover
Combination." From that time until 1649, when he removed to
Kittery, Maine, he was identified with
the interests of that town. His house was at Dover Neck, about
a mile from the present railroad
station at Dover Point, and three or four miles from Major
Richard Waldron's settlement on the
Cocheco river. There he kept an ordinary, which was destroyed
by fire, as appears from the
following petition:
"Right worp com of the Massachusetts
The humble peticon of Anthony Emry of Dover
Humbly showeth
Unto your good worp that your poore peticonr was
licenced b
the towne abousd to keept an ordinary wh shd give Dyet &
to
sell beere & wine as was accustomed & sithence there was
an order that non but one should sell wine upon which
there
hath beene complaint made to your worp as Mr. Smyths
saith
& hee hath in a manner discharged your petr wch wilbe to
your
petr great damage haueing a wife & 3 children to
maintain &
not a house fitted for present to liue in haueing had
his house
& goods lately burnt downe to the ground "Humbly
beseeching
yor worp to bee pleased to grant to your petr that he may
sell wine & that Mr Smyth may be certified thereof hee
keeping
good order in his house & he shall as hee is in Duty
bound pray
for your worps health & happyness."
This petition does not bear date, but it is known from other
papers that Anthony Emery petitioned in
1643, for permission to keep an ordinary, and that March 7,
1643-4, he was "allowed whereby to
draw out his wine." In that year and in 1648 also, he was one
of the townsmen (selectmen) for the
"prudentiall affaires" of Dover.
On November 15, 1648, he bought of John White, a house, field,
and great barren marsh on Sturgeon Creek in Pischataqua, afterward
Kittery, now Eliot, and two
other marshes. He seems not to have taken possession, however,
until the next year, for he served as
grand juror in Dover, in 1649.
During his eleven years' (1649-1660) residence in Kittery, he
was juryman several times, selectman in
1652 and 1659, and constable. He was one of the forty-one
inbabitants of Kittery, who
acknowledged themselves subject to the government of
Massachusetts Bay, Nov. 16, 1652. At four
different times he received grants of land from the town. He
also bought of Joseph Austin of
Pischataqua, July 15, 1650, "a little Marsh soe Commanly called
aboue Sturgeon Cricke, with a little
house & vpland yrunto belonging, as also one thousand fiue
hundred foote of boards, for & in
Consideration of Two stears Called by ye name of draggon and
Benbow, with a weeks worke of him
selfe & other two oxen wch is to be done at Cutchecha."
In 1656, he was fined œ5 for mutinous courage in questioning
the authority of the court at Kittery, and
in 1660, again fined, for entertaining Quakers, and
disfranchised.
May 12, 1660, he and Frances his wife, sold house and land at
Cold Harbor to son James for œ150
together with all other lands in Kittery, "with all & singular
the houseing, barne Garden oarchards
Commans profetts priviledges fences wood Tymber appurtenances &
Haeredtaments belonging, or in
any way apprtayning thereunto."
Deprived of the rights and privileges of a freeman in Kittery,
he turned his footsteps toward a colony
in which greater liberty was allowed, and was received as a
free inhabitant of Portsmouth, Rhode
Island, Sept. 29, 1660.
It has been conjectured that he, prior to settling in Newbury,
or removing to Dover, bought land in
Portsmouth, and dwelt there awhile. This conjecture has its
origin in the fact, that one "Good-man
Emeres" owned land in Portsmouth in 1643, as is known from the
records of a general town meeting
held in Portsmouth, March 1, 1643.
Who "Goodman Emeres" was, or whence came the Little Compton,
Rhode Island, family of Emerys,
has been mere conjecture. We have been unable thus far to trace
their genealogy, or to connect them
with our ancestor, except in name and locality. We accept the
Portsmouth records as evidence of
Anthony Emery's first legal residence there until 1680, though
he is designated "of Kittery," in a deed
to his son James, Oct. 1, 1663.
He served as juryman from Portsmouth on several occasions, was
chosen constable, June 4, 1666,
and deputy to the General Court, April 25, 1672. The last
record that we find of him living is that of a
deed of land in Portsmouth to Rebecca Sadler, his daughter,
dated March 9, 1680. It is barely
possible that he returned to Kittery, and that Anthony Emery
who was representative from Kittery at
York, March 30, 1680, was our ancestor, but it does not seem
probable that he, an old man,
disfranchised, would after twenty years' absence, be chosen to
legislate for the "province of Mayne."
From the petition quoted, we know that he had three children,
and from another paper, that James
was his surviving son. We are thus enabled to give this list of
children:
2 i JAMES,2 b. in England about 1630; came to America with his
father.
3 ii A SON, name unknown.
4 iii REBECCA.
It is difficult to estimate the character of Anthony Emery.
From what little we know of him, however,
we infer that he was a capable business man, energetic,
independent, resolute in purpose, bold in
action, severe in speech, jealous of his own rights, and
willing to suffer for conscience' sake. He did
not hesitate to express his opinions, though on one occasion it
may have savored of "mutinous
courage." He recognized a higher law than statute-law, and with
the courage of his convictions,
preferred to suffer the penalty of the latter rather than
disobey the former and violate his conscience.
In entertaining Quakers he obeyed the divine commandment: "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

1. DANIEL1 SHED, born in England, probably about 1620, was the progenitor
of our family in
America. It is a matter of sincere regret that the exact date
of or the circumstances attending his arrival
on these shores have not been learned, although every available
avenue in America has been searched
for the information. The name of Daniel Shed appears among
those of the earliest settlers in ancient
"Brantrey" as early as 1643, and, along with it, among the
founders of this town seated on the
southern shores of Massachusetts Bay, may be found the family
names of Adams, Quincy, Barrett
and Spaulding, with others well known in later American history.
Before entering upon the full story of his life and the record
of his descendants, it will be well to divest the mind of all knowledge
of material things as now existing in New England and go back in
imagination to the conditions and circumstances that this group
of settlers found when they made their
first appearance here nearly three centuries ago, in order to
judge more correctly of their careers.
Banish then from mind our contiguous towns and cities. Banish
not alone the mills and marts, the
railways and telegraphs of which the ceaseless throbbing
measures like a pulse the nation's health
through all the arteries of its vast business life; banish
everything that over two centuries of increasing
civilization has wrought; find a land without a name, a land
almost without homes save here and there
a few rude ones or such habitations as fortune hunters raise; a
land untraversed, untrapped and of
unknown extent. Such was the country to which the Puritans came.
DANIEL12 SHED (Daniel11, Thomas10, Thomas9, Thomas8, John7,
John6, John5), was bapt. 25
June 1620 in the ancient parish church of Finchingfield, County
Essex, as appears from its old
parchment register still perfectly preserved from 1617. The
venerable church (except for loss of its
spire) still presents the same appearance as it did just three
centuries ago when the infant eyes of
Daniel12 Shed first beheld it; even the very font, which held
the sacred water with which he was
christened, still remains in regular use. This baptismal record
is the sole mention of him in these
registers which have been carefully examined down to 1710; if
he had died there his burial would
have been recorded. His father, Daniel11 Shed, in no record in
Finchingfield is ever termed "senior,"
nor is there anything to infer that there were ever two Daniel
Sheds of adult age living there at the
same time. In the Protestation Roll of Feb. 1641/2, only one
Shed appears in Finchingfield, Daniel11
Shed; at that time the son Daniel12 Shed was nearly twenty-two
years of age; as all males over
eighteen years old are
Page 448
listed, and as Daniel12 Shed does not appear on this roll
either in Finchingfield or in any of the other
surrounding forty-five parishes of the Hundred, it is evident
that he had removed from the
neighborhood before February 1641/2.
During the period of 1630-1642, about twenty-five thousand
English Puritans emigrated to New
England, either to escape religious restrictions or with the
hope of bettering their material condition.
Over half of these emigrants were from the counties of Essex
and Suffolk, and among them was
Daniel12 Shed who first appears on records in New England in
1643, in Braintree, Mass. This town
was named for Braintree in Essex, only eight miles south-east
of Finchingfield, and a large majority of
the early settlers of Braintree, Mass., are known to have come
from various parishes in Essex and
Suffolk in England within a fifteen-mile radius of the mother
town of Braintree. Neither the date of
sailing, the port of departure, nor the name of the vessel
which brought Daniel12 Shed to New
England has been discovered; but his emigration must have taken
place before 1642, so probably
about 1640, or about the time he became of age.
So here may be framed a very real mental picture of the
emigrant Daniel12 Shed, raised as a farmer's
boy in rural Essex in eastern England, amid strong Puritan
influences, and while yet a youth so imbued
with their fervid religious faith and desire for liberty as to
join the memorable throng that left their
beloved ancestral homes and braved the perils of the deep and
the hardships of pioneer life in a
savage wilderness to found a nation in the New World.
"What sought they tnus afar?--
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?--
They sought a Faith's pure shrine!"
The substantial worth of this epochal emigration, extolled for
two centuries by many writers, was aptly
set forth by William Stoughton in his sermon at the
Massachusetts general election of 1668: "God
sifted a whole nation that he might send choice grain into this
wilderness." In the three centuries that
have elapsed since the birth in 1620 of Daniel12 Shed, he has
become the progenitor of nearly four
thousand descendants born of the name Shedd, and of scores of
thousands of descendants born of
thousands of other family names, now dispersed all over the
United States. This old New England
stock, derived from the Puritan founders like Daniel12 Shed,
has been the predominant element in
influence in American institutions among the population of our
northern and western states.
Page 449
To the south some thirty or forty miles was Plymouth Colony
where the Pilgrims came first, quite a
score of years before, there to establish their homes and enjoy
"freedom to worship God" as to their
minds seemed best; there still they dwelt, with added friends
and strength, exemplifying the beauty of
their faith,--a pilgrim band. Northward, little more than half
as far, was Naumkeag (Salem) and a little
beyond was Agawam (Ipswich), where at each a little church band
had settled seeking under its
favorite preacher to secure social and religious freedom.
Boston, on its then narrow neck of land, was thus
early the chief town, and, strange as it seems, with less than a
hundred houses within its bounds, its citizens felt severely
hampered
for room. For their relief the General Court was persuaded in
1634 to grant for an extension of territory
BRAINTREE
In the broad plantation that was thus established, settlement
had not progressed very far when early in
1640 the General Court set off the territory as a separate town
under the name of Braintree. There
also our first ancestor Daniel1 Shed fixed his home about this
same time.
*Chronological Order of Settlements in New England. The
Pilgrims came to Plymouth in 1620.
Endecott with the first Puritan company founded Salem in 1628.
The charter of the Massachusetts
Bay Colony was granted in 1629, and in 1630 a fleet of fourteen
ships brought 1500 colonists under
Gov. Winthrop, who founded that year the towns of Boston,
Dorchester, Charlestown, Hull,
Medford, Roxbury and Watertown. Cambridge and Lynn were settled
in 1632, Ipswich, Andover
and Hingham in 1634, and Braintree, Concord and Newbury in
1635. Over twenty other towns were
also established in the Massachusetts Bay Colony before
Billerica was settled in 1653 and
incorporated as a town in 1655.
As early as 1622, only two years after the landing of the
Pilgrims, one Thomas Morton visited Mt.
Wollaston, as it was later known, and was much pleased with its
appearance and with the abundance
of fish found off the shore. Morton (a lawyer from Cliffords
Inn, London) again turned up in the
settlement and securing the leadership set up a free and easy
manner of life;
This free mode of life was a great offence to the religion of
the staid Puritans and Separatists
comprising the other colonies upon the coast, who soon took
stringent measures to remove the source
of evil; after many futile attempts Morton was finally taken
and in Sept. 1631 was sent back to England while his house was burned
On 27 Jan. 1639/40, "there is granted to Mr. William Tompson,
Pastor of the Church at the Mount,
120 acres of Land there." (Town Records of Boston, vol. 1, p.
47.) By subsequent transfers, to be
quoted later, it is established that this grant comprised the
neck which became a few years later the
home of our ancestor until 1658, and which for a century even
after his removal from the town bore
the name of "Shed's Neck."
All these grants near Mount Wollaston were by order of the
General Court on 13 May 1640
incorporated as the town of Braintree* which comprised the
present towns of Braintree, Quincy,
Randolph and Holbrook, and from then its progress was assured.
For over a century and a half
Braintree maintained its original area; then on 22 Feb. 1792
the northerly third of the town was set off
to form the town [now city] of Quincy, and on 9 Mar. 1793 the
south-westerly third became the town
of Randolph a part of which on 29 Feb. 1872 was established as
Holbrook. The 120-acre grant to
Rev. William Tompson in 1639/40, which was occupied to 1658 by
Daniel1 Shed and so for a
century was known as "Shed's Neck," was located in that part of
Braintree which since 1792 has
been Quincy.
Extending from the main land of old Braintree into the waters
of Massachusetts Bay were five necks
of land: Squantum was the most northerly one; next was Hough's
Neck; the next or middle one was
Shed's Neck which after 1750 was known as Germantown;
It seems evident that Daniel1 Shed came to Braintree a youth ??
young bachelor of small means,
arrived there or became of age too late to become an original
proprietor and grantee of lands, and did
not have means to purchase an estate. So about the time of his
marriage in 1646 he doubtless leased
for a term of years from Rev. William Tompson the 120-acre neck
granted to the latter in 1639/40,
and on account of Daniel1 Shed being the first resident on the
tract it came to be generally known as
"Shed's Neck." Here he evidently continued about twelve years
until 1658, when perhaps the
expiration of his lease or the destruction of his house by fire
together with the opening up of cheap
lands in the new town of Billerica on the then frontiers
induced a removal to the latter place.
In 1916 the Shedd Family Association secured a small plot of
land on the crest of the Neck and
erected thereon a memorial to Daniel1 Shed in the form of a
lighthouse, consisting of a column of
Quincy granite about twenty feet high surmounted by a
substantial glass and copper lantern enclosing
a powerful incandescent electric light. A bronze tablet on the
base of the column bears the following
inscription:

restored.

"ffarme" of our ancestor.
Here again in "Brantrey's book of records" of births, marriages and
deaths "beginninge in ye year
1643" we find a page of especial interest, for it records the
births there of seven children to our
ancestor and his wife Mary between 1 Oct. 1647 and 30 Oct. 1658.
This feeling of unrest and desire for change was felt as well
in the little settlement at Braintree, and
frequent changes were there made among the neighbors and
associates of Daniel1 Shed. Peter and
Joseph Adams, sons of Henry Adams (the ancestor of the
Presidents Adams), continued to reside in
Braintree as has also an honorable posterity, while two other
sons, Thomas and Samuel, were among
the first settlers of Chelmsford far northward in the valley of
the Merrimack. Thither also went
Edward Spaulding and Thomas Barrett whose descendants' names we
shall later find closely allied by
intermarriage with our own family.
All to find new homes in the town of Billerica lying well north
upon the Concord and Shawshine rivers
near where they join the Merrimack. Thither also in 1659 went
our own ancestor Daniel1 Shed, with
his family, and there established their permanent home from
which a numerous posterity has gone
forth.
BILLERICA
Leaving his old home in Braintree our Daniel1 Shed came to ??
and in 1659 bought from George
Willice a certain tract ?? which had been the original "right"
of Joseph Parker
Page 453
As settlements began the need for a separate existence as a tow
became the primary question. After
long deliberation of the stc the "Genall Cort" combined all the
grants it had made in that section with
all unclaimed lands, and on 30 May 1655 incorpora?? it as the
town of Billerica. At that time not
more than nine or ?? families were located there, but others
soon followed and the maistenance of the
town was assured.
Few indeed were the accommodations afforded by the new ??kment to which
our ancestor brought
his family of seven children whose ages ranged from one to
twelve years. The houses were small and
rude; there were no fences or enclosures. The ??ister's house
was built but not yet finished, and "the
meeting ??," that one rallying point in all early towns, was
not begun. The force and peculiarity of their
seclusion comes to us more fully ?? se read of the meagre
opportunities for travel to neighboring
towns: a road by which to reach their forest home from
Cambridge and Woburn; another to Concord
on the south, while only a path ?? northward to Andover and
another to Chelmsford farther west. ??
what roads were these,-- without form, little more than tracks
?? by blazed trees!
Page 454
We can learn very little from the records as to his coming or
the ??ils of his early abode there though
many things can be gath?? by inference. The year 1659 must have
been the time of his ??val. for in
October of the preceding year he had a daughter ??h born by
"wiffe Mary" in Braintree, while in the
ancient ?? of Billerica we find a "sone," Samuel, born to
"Daniel and ??beth Shed" on Aug. 13, 1660.
In addition to the purchase of land already mentioned our
ancestor received numerous later grants
from the town of Billerica besides other private purchases, so
that his estate finally embraced quite a
large territorv.
"BILLERICA THEIR TOWN BOOKE OF RECORDS
TRANSCRIBED ANNO DOMINI 1665."
"Daniel Sheed purchassing & possessing all the premises--Hence
all the remaining grants wch are

the four ?? are all stakes, this is
granted on account of ye gratuity ??ion Other small grants
followed at various times and as late ?? the
general distribution on 9th 1685 we find one of three acres ??
Corpll Daniel Shed Senr.
As early as 1663, or only four years after his settlement
there, ?? ??nd that Daniel Shead paid
œ1-4-10 in "the ministers rate" for the Rev. Mr. Whiting's
maintenance out of a total levy of œ71-1-8;
?? fifty assessments ran from 3s. to œ3-17-6, showing that he
?? not accounted poor. When the
meeting house was built Daniel ?? was assigned "to ye 2d seat
in ye fore gallery of ye meeting ??."
For various reasons we judge that he was a strong sup?? of the
church and a close friend of Minister
Whiting. ?? it is that their homes were but a few rods apart,
and aside ?? any personal reasons that
may have existed for this friend?? there were plenty of
external causes to bring them into close
??ionship.
Aside from their struggles with natural obstacles which
required ?? the ingenuity of the settlers to
overcome there was another ?? that rested upon all alike and
with which they were less ?? to cope
because it was less tangible; this came from their fear ?? ??e
Indians round about them. Friendly as
seemed those whose ?? forms were often seen at their own
firesides and who had ?? a measure
embraced Christianity and civilization through the ?? of Eliot
among them at Wamesit, still the settlers
watched ?? closely to guard against any treachery and to gain
some hint ?? pending attack from the
less friendly tribes farther back. For ?? than fifty years this
danger hung over the pioneers, some??
almost forgotten, then with one burst bending them low in ??
fury and destruction. So imminent
seemed this danger in 1667 ?? the settlers in Billerica
determined to build a stone and brick ??cation
house; and again eight years later during King Philip's ??
several of the larger houses were appointed
garrisons and ??teeted as well as they could be. Among these
was Rev. Samuel ??ing's house, and
thirty men and seyeral yoke of oxen were ?? two days putting it
in proper condition for defense; to
this ?? as garrison was assigned Daniel Shed Sen. and his son
John, ??mas Dutton Sen. and his son
John, John Rogers Sen. and his ?? sons John, Thomas and
Nathaniel, also John Durant and ?? other
soldiers, making eleven soldiers in all and six families
Page 456
under this roof, which was ordered "to be ye maine garrison & ye
last refuge in case of extremity." What anxious times were
these with little news from the outside, and
yet amid their dangers Cupid stole into the garrisons with his
arrows, past the sentinels, and wounded
several youthful hearts as the sequel shows. The Indian attack
however did not come nor for several
years afterward, so that the families returned to their homes
and the preacher performed his services
without guns being stacked in church ready for instant use.
It was probably at this time that our ancestor Daniel1 Shed
Sen. acquired his military title of "Corpll,"
and for other similar service his son John2 Shed probably
acquired his various appellations of
Sergeant, Ensign, etc. It may be well to note here that all the
descendants of Daniel1 Shed, though by
no means fighting men, have always been ready to answer every
call for protecting the country's
rights, and many have laid down their lives for the public good
during the various wars in which our
country has been engaged.
As the years came and went, some prosperous, some less
successful, his children married, one by
one, with the children of his neighbors, and all settled not
far away from the old homestead, and in
turn reared around them many children according to the custom
of those days. If amid their many
cares they became incautious and forgetful of their danger they
were rudely recalled to their exposure
by the Indian attacks in 1689 upon Dover, N. H., and three
years later on 1 Aug. 1692, the deadly
blow so much feared fell upon this little settlement, blasting
the homes of Zachariah Shed and
Benjamin Dutton who lived near "the falls." With the fears
aroused by this alarm mingled with the
witchcraft excitements and trials at Salem three years more
passed, and ?? second massacre fell upon
them on Monday 5 Aug. 1695 when fifteen persons in four
families suffered the fury of the Indians.
The early settlers had no time for more improvements than ??ity
demanded, -- all their energies were
given to clearing ?? the heavy forests, not for profit in the
lumber, but that the ?? soil might be
exposed to the sunlight and induced to yield ?? the necessaries
of food and shelter. It needed men
with ?? arms and strong hearts imbued with mutual sympathies ??
their work, and such they proved. If
their circumstances ?? but scant returns for their toil they
made their wants few ?? ??portion. They
were laying foundations then and looking to ?? future with high
hopes and large faith. In England
landed ??ions were largely the basis of wealth and rank, so
here it ?? natural for them to secure as
many broad acres as they were ?? hoping thus to build a rich
and prosperous future.
Page 457
To summarize in brief our knowledge of the life of our first
ancestor as conveyed by records and by
inference we may say that he was born probably between 1620 and
1625 in England whence he
came as a youth or a young man perhaps just of age to make a
home for himself in America. He
landed about 1643, probably at Boston, being then unmarried,
but about 1646 acquired a wife at
Braintree where they had seven children. She died in 1658-9,
and a few months later he married a
second wife and settled in Billerica, Mass., where he had four
more children and died 27 July 1708,
probably aged about eighty-eight years.
It was quite natural that the youngest son of the family should
?? to the father's homestead, and while
he doubtless pro?? as well for all his children as his means
allowed when they ?? out for themselves,
yet Nathan was the one chosen "to pro?? for them in theire old
age" and received the homestead.
Here is a copy of the agreement of which the original is on
file ?? the Registry of Deeds for Middlesex
County at Cambridge; the ??lling and use of letters has been
followed.

2 JAMES2 EMERY, SEN. (Anthony1), son of Anthony and Frances
Emery; came to America with
his father in the ship "James;" married, first, Elizabeth
(???). She died after 1687. He married, second,
Dec. 28, 1695, Mrs. Elizabeth Pidge (n‚e Newcomb), widow and
second wife of John Pidge of
Dedham, Mass. Administration was granted in 1691 to Elizabeth,
widow of John Pidge, who died
intestate. Inventory of the estate was filed June 19, 1691.
"The account of Elizabeth Emery late Relict
or widow and admin, of the Estate of John Pigg deceased in
Dedham," and on June 10, 1709, James
Emery presents the division of the estate. May 10, 1700, "James
Emery of Dedham in New England,
the only surviving son of Anthony Emery late of Portsmouth on
Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations deceased, quitclaims to his sister Rebecca Sadler
alias Eaton, lands, estate Goods and
Chattels of said Anthony Emery late deceased." In 1713, James
Emery gives a deed in which he
describes himself as of Berwick. It would seem that James
Emery, after his election as representative
to the General Court, resided in Dedham, and after the
settlement of the estate of John Pidge or Pigg
removed to Berwick. He had grants of land in Kittery, 1653,
1656, 1669, 1671; was selectman of
Kittery, 1674, 1676, 1677, 1684, 1685, 1692, 1693, 1695;
elected representative to the General
Court, 1693, 1695; grand juror and constable, 1670. It is
related of him that when he went to Boston
his carriage was a chair placed in an ox cart drawn by a yoke
of steers. This mode of conveyance
was necessary as there was not in Kittery a carriage large or
strong enough to carry him safely. He
was a large man weighing over three hundred and fifty pounds.
The date of his death is unknown, but
from a deed given in 1714 in which his son James called himself
James senior, it is evident it was
before 1714.

1. DEA. JOHN BLANCHARD. It has been stated in print many times that Dea.
John Blanchard of Dunstable was a son of
Thomas Blanchard, the American ancestor of a numerous family. A son John
is not named in the will of Thomas, and
evidence recently discovered establishes the fact that Dea. John was a
son of Widow Ann Blanchard, who died in
Chelmsford, June 24, 1662. William Blanchard, the tailor, who died in
Boston, October 7, 1652, probably was a brother
of Dea. John. Dea. John Blanchard married about 1657, Elizabeth Hills,
born 1627, a daughter of Joseph and Rose (Clark)
Hills. For good service to the colony, 500 acres in Dunstable were
granted to Joseph Hills, which in his will is bequeathed
to his granddaughters, Hannah and Elizabeth Blanchard of Dunstable.
Elizabeth (Hills) Blanchard died about 1662, and
Dea. John Blanchard [p.4] married, second, Mrs. Hannah (Braekett)
Kinsley, born in Braintree, 1634, a daughter of Dea.
Richard and Alice Brackett and widow of Samuel Kinsley. Elizabeth
Kinsley, child of Samuel and Hannah (Brackett) Kins-ley, was the wife of
John Cummings of Dunstable.
Dea. John Blanchard was one of the foundation members and the first
deacon of the church of Dunstable and one of the
most active and useful citizens. In the lives of his sons and his
grandsons, his example was cherished and his good works
were renewed. He died 1694. For his will see Granite Monthly, July,
1906. His widow Hannah. her daughter Elizabeth
(Kinsley) Cummings, her son Nathaniel Blanchard with his wife, Lydia
Blanchard, and Susannah, a daughter of Nathaniel
and Lydia Blanchard, were slain at Dunstable by the Indians, July 3,
1706. There were two children of Dea. John and
Elizabeth and nine of Dea. John and Hannah Blanchard.
Deacon John Blanchard married first (1658) Elizabeth Hills, baptized 21
October 1627, died about 1662. Second, c. 1663, Hannah ( Brackett)
Kinsley, killed by Indians 3 July 1706.

John was the first Governor of Connecticut.
Settled at New London.
[NI0109] One of the first proprietors of New London.
[NI0110] was of New London in 1651.

From a letter from Ernest Robinson to Hazel Bates in Oct 1954: "In the
year 1854 or thereabouts, the people of West Brome decided to have a more
advanced school. They accordingly engaged a fellow by the name of Parry
Reid as principal. This school taught various subjects some that was
considered of a somewhat advanced nature at that time that included
Geometry and Trigonometry and natural Philosophy that is called elements
of physics at the present time. These above subjects appear to me have
been dealt with in a very pracctical manner. In the year at the fall
term of this school they decided to start teaching French and our Father
(Richard son of the first James) having finished his studies that June
and Parry being a cousin, engaged Richard to come and be a French
Specialist in this school."

[NI3334]
Was one of the first settlers on Long Island, in 1655
[NI3335]
Came to Ewing, New Jersey, in 1700, and was one of the first settlers in
that place. He purchased a tract of land from the Indians, and June 2,
1701, he added one hundred and fifty acres, part of the Mahlon Stacy
tract, the deed for which is still preserved showing that the transfer
was made by John Brearly to Will Read (bachelor). Serveral years
later, we find that slaves were kept on the place, as the record shows
that men were bought and sold. Soon after his settlement in this place,
William Reed with several others took measures for the erection of a
church for themselves. This was the beginning of the congregation which,
after the foundation of the township, was called the First Church of
Trenton, but now takes the name of the township of Ewing. The original
deed for this was dated March 9, 1709, and conveyed two acres of land
from Alexander Lockhart, a Scotchman, to William Reed and others. We
find William Reed still actively engaged and interested in the call of
the Rev. David Colwell, which was made in behalf of the United Trenton
Church. The following is in the original call: "We the subscribers do
hereby promise and oblige ourselves to support the said Mr. Colwell with
a maintenance and otherwise assist him as we may to discharge his
ministerial functions among us, as witness our hands this 7th day of
April, 1736. William Reed, Andrew Reed, and others."

Farms, together with some smaller lots. The first settlers had grants of

Came to Brome County app 1849.
from Londonderry, though not known if she was born there
Upon arrival, the Scotch-Irish petitioned the assembly of Massachusetts
for a tract of land. The signatures of Archibald Mackmurphy and John
Macmurphy are found among the early petitioners of the in habitants of
Londonderry before 1738 (Belknap, 1970). The assembly gave them
permission to stake out a settlement of six miles square in any
unappropriated lands eastward. The Mc Murphy family, along with many of
the Scotch-Irish families, settled in an area above Haverhill in New
Hampshire referred to as Nutfield because of the great number of chestnut
and walnut trees there. They first built huts near a brook which falls
into the Beaver River. They brought with them the necessary materials for
the manufacture of linen and their spinning wheels. They planted flax,
cultured pototoes, churned milk, drank buttermilk , and made barley
broth, none of which the English did (Preston, 1930). The way
Massachusetts in provided settlement lands to the Scotch-Irish was to
have them settle on the frontiers as a living shield against the French
and the Indians. The motive of the Ulstermen in coming to New England was
to establish homes and commercial activities with ownership of the land
and less government control, and to be free to worship as they saw fit.
The Scotch-Irish emigrants were also offended at being called "Irish"
because they had frequently ventured their lives for the British crown
against the Irish papist. The people in New England did not understand
the distinction and it was some time before they were treated with common
decency. Inter-marriage among the Scotch-Irish families was very common
for the first few generations because of the ill-treatment that they
received from established settlers. The first dwellings were made of logs
but, as saw-mills were built along the area where Beaver Brook tumbles
from the pond into the Merrimac, two good frame houses were erected. The
first frame house was for Pastor McGregor and the second frame house was
for John McMurphy, Esquire (Scotch-Irish Society, 1889). John McMurphy,
Esq. held a commission as justice of the peace, dated in Ireland, and so
antedated the commission signed by Governor Shute on 29April 1720, to
Justice James McKeen, the foremost man of the settlement.

Perry lived in Dunham and was quite a gifted writer on certain questions
that he was interested in. He wrote quite a lengthy article for the Good

He was a Deputy State Fir Marshall. Ten year member of the ND Volunteer
Fireman's Organization (38 years) and later Secretary. He was a business
owner in Bismarck, ND. Union Mercantile Company. He was later Secretary
& Treasurer before selling out his interest. He was a City Treasurer in
Bismarck, ND (2 terms). He was an Alderman for 12 years in Bismarck.
Also served several years on the Burleigh County Central Committee.
In the spring of 1886 Guilford & Fidelia moved from Sutton, PQ to the
Dakota Territory by rail. Guilford accompanied the railroad car and the
family followed a few weeks later. In the rail car was a span of mares,
10 head of cattle, a dog, lumber for a frame house, furniture, bedding
and clothing to last the family for a number of years, tubs of maple
sugar and a barrel of salt pork. In Michigan, when the car was laid over
for a day another car was added to the train and this was occupied by
H.W.Allen. The two men became acquainted and found that they were headed
for the same destination. They became close friends and the families were
very close for the remainder of their lives. Both men filed on claims
close to each other. Since Guilford & Fideila settled in Dakota Territory
before there was a North & South Dakota, their children qualify as
"Pioneers" and their grandchildren as "Children of Pioneers." When they
arrived in the Dakota Territory a claim was filed next to Fidelia's
brother, James Albert Robinson. Guilford, his family and all their
belongins moved in with Fidelia's brother in the 4 room house until they
could build their own house. Just a few days later, the house caught fire
from a spark from the chimney. The house was banked with flax straw and
the spark caught the straw afire. Fidelia discovered the fire, and
moments later her nephew Israel Robinson saw it and thought of the new
desk his father had just given him. He rushed into the house and shoved
the desk part way through the door and could get it no farther. Fidelia
grabbed arms full of clothing from the bedroom and ran to the door
thinking the men would be there soon and help get the desk and cloths out
but the fire burned so fast that she was obliged to break a widow and get
out that way minus the clothes. The barrel of pork that had been stored
in a shed was still burning after the rest of the building was all
burned. They got close enough to tip the pile of pork out-what was left
of it. Guilford picked up the burned pieces in a bag and Fidelia scraped
the charred sides off and used the center for meat that summer. The
winter of 1887 was a very severe one--snow coming on October 27th and
never leaving until spring. By Christmas the snow was four feet deep and
the food supplies were running low. Finally, on the 3rd of January, the
only food left in the house was a bin of potatos. They also had milk from
two cows. Guilford decided that he would try to make the trip to
Bismarck, and with luck expected to return in a week or ten days. Long
before daylight on the 4th of January, he hitched his team to an old
fashioned bobsled and started. About 4 O'clock another blizzard came
howling out of the Northwest and Fidelia spent 7 long nights and days
wondering whether her husband would ever be heard of again until the
spring thaw might reveal his resting place. The two older boys had only
been able to milk, water and feed the cows twice during thoes 7 days.
Late in the afternoon of the 8th day, Guilford came home. But, to the
surprise of the family, he told them that he had not reached Bismarck but
had only gotten as far as the homestead of a bachelor by the name of
Jorgerson when the blizzard struck. The traveling had been so tough, and
the snow so deep, that he had to travel on the ridges, and hill tops,
around ravines or else shovel a path through them, so the horses could
wallow through. A few days later, after his team had rested up, he
started out again and this time successfully completed the trip in nine
days.

appointed to a committee which included Daniel Jones to make and improve a
road "crossing the Mountain", presumably Mt. Sutton. His farm included
the
land that is now the Brock Cemetery, Glen Sutton. The farmhouse standing
near the burial ground was lived in by his son Samuel and was possibly
originally built by Thomas. He died 3 Jun 1844 and was buried in the
Brock
Cemetery. Mary died 19 Mar 1853 and was buried beside her husband - their
gravestones have survived. Mary's burial is found in the records of Potton
Methodist Church, she was 70 at the time of her burial, and of Sutton. In
the 1851 census Mary was living with her son Samuel and family.

Potton Twp that Ezra and wife Hannah appear to be burried in Ruiter's

got
this index from the Brome County Historical Society. The address for

so I
don't know if it is still good.

MARY MILLER, b. 1760 in New Hampshire, the daughter of Mary Rogers
and Hugh Miller. She m., prob. ca. 1779, Benjamin Barnet. The place of
their marriage unknown but it probably took place in the Bradford/Newbury
area of Vermont. Benjamin, b. 20 Oct 1756 in Litchfield, NH, was the son
of Samuel Barnet and Ame Smith. He came from a family of Revolutionary
Soldiers, all the older male members, including his father, fought in that
War. Benjamin also joined a regiment (as did his brother Samuel of
Bolton,
VT) known as the "Silver Greys" during the War of 1812. This regiment
consisted of older men, hence the name. Mary and Benjamin probably had
moved from Richford to Brome County as early as 1802, as his name, as well
as their son Robert's, appeared on a petition for that year. The
petition
was signed by residents of Potton and Sutton - they were asking for
schooling to be provided for the area. Benjamin's Revolutionary Pension
Application, filed in 1818, contradicts this fact, as he does not admit
moving to Canada until around 1808. His signature appeared on another
petition presented to Governor Craig of Quebec in 1807. When he applied
for
his Revolutionary War pension, he gave Richford as his residence. It seems
likely that he did not spend many years in Canada. He appears in the town
records of Richford as late as 28 Mar 1838 when the town "voted to raise
one hundred dollars for the support of Benjamin Barnett to be collected or
not as townmen may think best -". The deathdate on his gravestone in
Jericho Road Cemetery, E. Richford, VT is 1828, but I believe he died in
1838 or later. In the 1825 census for Sutton, Benjamin does not appear,
but there is a Mary Barnet, living alone. It appears that the couple
spent
their later years living apart, possibly due to poverty. The actual
gravesite for Benjamin and Mary is unknown, but the stone, erected by a
descendant, can be found in an isolated location near the Canada/U.S.
border. There is only one other stone at the site, and it was propped
over
the Barnet stone in 1986. One side of the stone reads: "Benjamin Barnett
Newbury 1756, Sutton 1828. Washington Guards, Col. Cilley, Stillwater,
Saratoga, Monmouth 1777-1780. Capt., Silver Greys, Plattsburg 1814. His
wife Mary Miller Bradford 1760, Sutton 1830." The other side reads:
"Jacob Barnett, frozen to death on Sutton Mountain" (no dates), and "Amy
Barnett, 1795-1825". Jacob and Amy were two of their children. The
birthplaces of Benjamin and Mary are incorrrect, as previously discussed,
they were born in New Hampshire, and went as young children to Newbury and
Bradford, respectively. The children of Benjamin and Mary have mainly
been
identified as such by their descendants, and the fact that there was no
other family by the Barnett name in the area. One daughter, Susan, died
in
Richford in 1882, and on her death record her father's name was given.
There are also two other individuals who may have been children of
Benjamin
and Mary's - Hiram b. ca 1805 in Glen Sutton, Que., and Alpheus b. ca Feb
1803, in Johnson, VT.
(More information on them in a supplement).
Hugh Miller and Mary Rogers (sister of the famous Major
Robert Rogers), the first settlers of Richford, VT. Their son James was
the first settler of Glen Sutton, Que.
Mary Rogers, the daughter of James Rogers and Mary McFatridge, was born 3
Aug 1736 in Methuen, Essex Co., Massachusetts. When she was young she
moved to New Hampshire with her parents. She probably married Hugh Miller
ca 1756; attempts to discover Hugh's origins have been unsuccessful but it
is safe to say he was probably of Ulster Scots origin. He was born ca
1734, probably in New Hampshire (a Hugh Miller, son of Archibald Miller,
who lived in Chester, NH is a different individual). It is unknown where
they began their married life, although it seems possible it was in the
Litchfield or Merrimack, NH area, neighbouring towns in Hillsborough
County. A Hugh Miller appears in the town records, along with several
other individuals who later all moved to the same area in Vermont. These
included Samuel Barnet - several of his children married several of Hugh
and Mary's children. By 1771 Mary and Hugh were living in the town of
Bradford, Orange County, Vermont where they stayed for over twenty years.
On page 10 in the book Historical Skeleton of the Coos County (NH) by
Rev. Grant Powers, it says that Hugh Miller lived 1/4 mile south of the
Newbury, VT line, and in 1771, when he was absent, his wife and family
were
rescued from a great flood. He went on to say that Mary was the sister of
Robert Rogers, the famous soldier. Lorenzo Sabine, in his famous work on
the Loyalists, mentions at some point that Robert Rogers had gone to visit
his sister at Bradford, Vermont. Bradford land records and the census of
1790 (actually taken in 1791) for Vermont show that Hugh was indeed a
resident there and in one deed his wife Mary is mentioned, although no
maiden name is given.
Hugh seemed to have an adventurous streak as he was a soldier in both
the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution (unfortunately he
never made a pension application or his records were lost, so that
valuable
source of information is unavailable). In 1795, when he was about 60
years
old he packed up his wife, youngest children, several older children and
their spouses, and a few grandchildren. They moved north to become the
first settlers of the town of Richford, Vermont, in Franklin County.
Richford is just south of Brome County, Quebec. The whole area at that
time was a wilderness. From the Vermont Historical Magazine edited by
Abby
Maria Hemenway, and published in 1871, comes this account: "They arrived
here in March (1795), and the weather was so severe that it was necessary
to erect some shelter without delay; they cleared a small patch of ground,
left four blue beech staddles standing, for corners, withed on poles,
covered with boughs and blankets, and probably carpeted the cold ground
with the smaller boughs of the hemlock. Such was their camp." Hemenway
also provides a list of the children and in-laws that accompanied Mary and
Hugh on their sojourn north. She further gives a picture of life in the
early days that illustrates that it was a difficult one. Hugh died in
1810
of a "shock", 20 days after hearing about the death of his son Daniel, and
was buried on his farm. A plaque commemorating Hugh is found in the
Richford Cemetery. The widowed Mary lived her son Jacob and died in 1820.
During her days in Richford, she was a doctress and midwife and many a
time
had to travel long distances to help deliver a baby, sometimes travelling
by snowshoe, finding her way by marking trees. Hemenway states "more
could
be said about this good woman...she had no privilege of meetings for about
7 years. In 1802, Bishop Hedding, that pioneer of Methodism, then a young
man on the Fletcher (Vermont) circuit, following the trail of the early
emigrants, by marked trees...preached the first sermon in town at her
house." Mary's funeral was held in a barn and she was buried beside her
husband on a hill. Known children of Mary Rogers and Hugh Miller (surname
MILLER):

EARLY GENERATIONS OF THE Founders of Old Dunstable THIRTY FAMILIES
PREFACE.
page 61
THOMAS READ, a tailor of Chelmsford was born about 1656; parentage
unknown. He was not a son of Obadiah and
Anna Read, as stated in Read Genealogy, 1861. He was a freeman, April 1,
1679, and a soldier in King Philip's War,
1676. He married, probably in 1679, Hannah Blanchard, daughter of Dea.
John and Elizabeth (Hills) Blanchard, see. On
the warrant of warning or caution against settlement in Chelmsford
issued June 10, 1679, under date of June 14, 1679, the
constable made a return: "Thomas Read and Hannah Read, his wife, is fled
away out of our town we know not whither,"
and a second return dated September 27, 1679, the constable' says:
"Thomas Rade and hanna Blanchar are run away out
of this county and I am informed they are gone to the southward." If he
lived elsewhere a number of years it is certain that
he returned to Chelmsford. In 1717, he sold to Joseph Blanchard of
Dunstable the land willed to his wife, Hannah, by her
grandfather, Joseph Hills, and by her father, Dea. John Blanchard. In
1725, the selectmen of Chelms-ford petition the
General Court, saying Thomas Blanchard "an ancient and infirm man" had
petitioned the town for assistance and that his
sons John, Thomas, William and Jonathan, who were able, had refused to
assist him. Very probably Thomas and Hannah
(Blanchard) Read had more children than are named in this register.
Hannah Blanchard was born 6 November 1659 at Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
She married Thomas Read of Chelmsford, tailor, in 1679. The early married
life of
Thomas and Hannah appears to have been an adventurous one for a
constables report of
Chelmsford dated 14 June 1679 states "...Thos. Read and Hannah Read, his
wife, is fled
out of town, we know not whither, " and a later report of 27 September
1679 says, " Thos.
Rade and Hannah Blanchar are run away out of this country and I am
informed that they
are gone to the southward." However, they later returned to Chelmsford,
for he was a
member of the garrison there 16 March 1691 and in 1727 was one of several
petitioners in
regard to placing the town line between Chelmford and Westford.
Received a town grant of land March 24, 1711.
(IV) Thomas Read, son of Thomas Read (3), was born at Chelmsford,
Massachusetts, 1687, and married Sarah Fletcher. He was a
prominent man in
the town of Chelmsford and held the office of justice of the
peace. He died
December 24, 1773, aged cighty-six years. The Reads were
the first settlers in that part of
Chelmsford, now Westford. The children of Thomas and Sarah:
Sarah, born
1712; Timothy, 1714, see forward; Eleazer, 1731; Benjamin, 1732.
The land granted to him was forfeited for not being occupied. He was a
resident of New London in 1650. He removed to the Barbadoes and had
extensive mercantile interests in that place, which after his death was
carried on by his son Joseph.
His family appears to have been in some way related to the family of
Abraham Palmer, a prominent member of the Massachusetts Colony. The
mercantile house appears to have been represented at a later date by one
Joseph Reade, who was probably a son of Major John.

leading member of the church of Rev. John Fiske. He had a tract of land
granted him by the town of Salem. He went with Rev. Fiske and his church
to Wenham, then called Enon, meaning "much water". He was representative
from Wenham in 1648 and in 1651. He was sent in 1655, by Mr. Fiske and
his church, to look for a more commodious settlement; and he selected
Chelmsford. The next spring, Mr. Read, Mr. Fiske, and a majority of the
church, removed to that place. He, however, left Chelmsford in 1661 and
returned to Boston where he died in 1680; and his gravestone is now
standing in Copps Hill Burying-yard. He was a tailor by trade, and owned
considerable real estate on Copps Hill at the time of his death.

Esdras Read's daughter Rebecca was in court to testify against a

uncomely manner with a stick"
From Dana Converse Backus:
Boston records state that December 24, 1638, Esdras Read was allowed to be
an inhabitant and to have a great Lot at Muddy River (now
Brookline) for four
heads. If that means four in the family it would account for two
children. There
is no record of his ever having taken possession of this grant,
and two months
later (February 25, 1638, O.S.) he became an inhabitant of Salem.
He was
given a grant by the town, was admitted to the church May 10,
1640, and had
two children baptized May 31, 1640. His wife Alice was not
admitted to the
church until December 29, 1640, but children might be baptized if
one parent
were a member. These two children would be the son Obadiah, born
1639 or
1640, and Bethia, the younger of the two children who formed the
family of four
at the time of the Muddy River grant. The eldest child would
doubtless have
been baptized before leaving England.
Esdras Read was made free the 2nd of June 1641, and until 1655
his name
appears in Salem records or in those of Wenham, the neighboring
settlement. At
a court held at Salem, September 17, 1650, Joshua Ray was
presented for
abusing the body of Rebecca Read in an uncomely manner with a
stick and the
court admonished Joshua accordingly, soundly, and he was fined.
This is the
record as written. The printed version is more condensed and is
indexed under
Esdras Read's name. Rebecca may have been about fourteen at this
time and
Joshua Ray a few years older. (He married in February 1651, O.S.
It is vaguely
suggestive of a relationship between the families that his
mother's name was
Bethia and he named a daughter Rebecca.) In or about 1655 Esdras
Read removed to Chelmsford and the Rev. John Fiske
with other members of his congregation from Wenham also settled
there the
next year. Mr. Fiske's note book, under date of 1 of 12 1656 has
the following
entry:
Upon this day the Brethren presented their children, names and
ages as
follows:--Brother Read. Bethia about 19 y old. Obadiah about 17 y
old.
The 12th month 1656, old style dating, would be February 1656/7,
and
Rebecca Read had been married to Joseph Parkhurst seven months
before, a
sufficient reason for her not being presented as one of her
father's children.
About 1661 Esdras Read removed to Boston. In 1670 he was in
Woburn but
again in Boston the next year and died there, intestate, in 1680.
The inscription
on his gravestone in the Copp Hill burying ground gave the date
of his death as
July 27, 1680 and his age as 85 years. The death of his wife,
Alice, is not on
record. (See Parkhurst)

War.

Massachusetts, March 21, 1714. He married; November 10, 1732, Mary
Cummings. He moved from Chelmsford to Dunstable, Massachusetts,
when
that town included the present towns of Dunstable, Nashua,
Nashville, Hollis
and parts of the towns of Pelham, Londonderry, Hudson, Merrimac
and
Townsend, some now of New Hampshire, some of Massachusetts,
having an
area of two hundred square miles. For many years Dunstable was on
the
frontier and the early settlers were exposed to Indian attack
frequently. Many
outrages were committed there by the Indians and many deeds of
valor and
heroism by the white men. The children of Timothy and Mary Read:
Elizabeth,
born 1733; Mary, 1734; Timothy, Jr., 1736; Eleazer, 1749.
Notes for Thomas Adams:

says that Henry Adams1 came to America in 1632.
NOTE II.--Thomas Adams2 and Mary Blackmore were married at Braintree in
1642. NOTE
III.--Thomas Adams2 served as a soldier inKing Philip's War, and in 1678
was Ensign, and in 1682 Lieutenant, of the Chelmsford Foot Company.
THOMAS ADAMS2 (Henry1) was born in England in 1612. His wife was
Mary Blackmore. He was admitted freeman May 10, 1643; member of the

settled in Concord, Mass., with his brothers Samuel2 and John,2 and
bought lands there. In 1654 he and his brother Samuel2 sold their landed
interest in Concord to Samuel Stratton, having previously petitioned for a
new town, which was granted, and in which they shortly after settled and
called Chelmsford. He and his brother Samuel2 built the first mill in the
town of Chelmsford, which was on the present site of the city of Lowell,
and, with others, the first church and school-house in that town.
Thomas2 was for some years Town Clerk of Chelmsford, was Selectman,

youngest of their nine children baptized in England. His date is
given as
December 21, 1629 and he was brought to New England when less
than ten
years of age. He was among the early settlers of Chelmsford,
Mass. which was
founded 1653-4 and on the 24th or 26th of June 1656, when in his
twenty-seventh year, he married at Concord Rebecca Read. (For
notes on
Rebecca Read see Esdras Read.)
Joseph Parkhurst's name appears as one of the proprietors of the
New Field in
Chelmsford, where his share was allotted to him March 12, 1666/7.
In a paper
on Early settlers of that part of Chelmsford now Lowell,
published by the
Historical Association of Lowell, Henry S. Perham wrote: "Another
resident of
this section was Joseph Perkis. He was a son of George Parkhurst
who came
from England and settled in Watertown, ancestor of a family which
has always
been prominent in Chelmsford. Joseph Parkhurst later removed to
Stony Brook
neighborhood, now in Westford, where he died." In his history of
the town of
Westford, once part of Chelmsford, the Rev. Edwin R. Hodgeman
quotes from
the town records of 1707: "also we laid out a highway ... and by
the house of
Joseph Parkhurst and as the way is drawn until it comes to Stony
Brook way."
Joseph Parkhurst died November 30, 1709, in his eightieth year.

his family in Watertown, Mass. probably about the middle of the
1630's. He
owned land there before 1638, which he had bought of Hugh Mason.
The first
public record concerning him is dated May 10, 1642, when the town
ordered
that a highway be laid out by his house. He became a freeman May
10, 1643.
Whether his wife, Phebe, came to America with him is not known
since her
death is not on record, but several of their nine children, who
had been baptized
in England, are in New England records.
About 1645 he married Susanne, widow of John Simpson of
Watertown, and
about that time removed to Boston. The date of his death is not
found and it
seems probable that he left New England. On the 13th of June 1655
he
petitioned for right to sell certain land in order that he might
go to the aid of his
wife, who had returned to England. At that time he testified that
he was near
sixty-seven years old, which would put his birth date as about
the time of the
Spanish Armada.
Mrs. Ruth Dalton, whose husband was the Rev. Timothy Dalton, died
May 12,
1666, aged eighty-eight. In her will, dated November 22, 1663,
she left
legacies to George Parkhurst's children, and in their
acknowledgments she is
called Aunt Dalton by the two sons, George, Junior, and Joseph.
As she did not
bequeath to the children of George Parkhurst by his second wife,
it is thought that
his first wife, Phebe, was her sister.

Elwin and his family moved from Bismarck, ND to Grand Island, OR during
the summer of 1936. Elwin did some farming, although the land that they
had purchased proved to be mostly river gravel with little soil. Soon
after they moved to the island, they discovered that neighbors would come
by with a tuck or trailer and ask for some of the gravel to use for
surfacing their dirveways, and farm lanes. Most would pay a small amount
for each load. This was Anna's "pin money." The "pin money" became a
noticeable income so Elwin decided that gravel was what they had the most
of and began building a small elevated bunker to facilitate truck
loading--this was the beginning of what was later to become a significate
commercial gravel processing and distribution business. In the years that
followed, Elwin built two more gravel processing plants, each much bigger
that the one before. The gravel business flourished during World War II
as it was considered a strategic business with products being used for
construction of the McMinnville airport, bridges, and roads. Anna did the
bookkeping for the business between 1938 and 1950. Elwin sold the
business in 1952.

age of 103. Ella has been described as a very independent woman who

Maria never left her father, and never lived with Albert!
Nina (Putnam) Lawer, a grandaughter of Clifford & Maude's remembers her
grandparents well as she spent a great deal of time at thier house. She
helped her grandmother gather eggs, "pen up" the turkeys, and help with
the daily watering of Grandma's multitude of flowers. Grandpa carried the
pails of milk, brimming with foam, to the the house where he hand-turned
the cream separator. This procedure was done in the little cellar by
lamplight. There they kept jars of jelly, the crocks filled with homemade
pats of butter and crates of white eggs. Grandma used "egg money" to
purchase gifts for birthdays and Christmas.
The winter of 1896 was memorable for heavy snows. At that time Maude
Robinson lived in Williamsport and Clifford Putnam lived in Winona county
where he was raising cattle. Cliff intended to bring his bride to Fort
Yates to be married and accordingly he set out, driving a light tough
team hitched to a sleigh. The weather was cold and snow was deep, so
Cliff wangled a pair of "buffalo boots" (knee-high boots made of buffalo
hide with the hair turned inside) from the Army hospital at Fort Yates,
as well a two heavy buffalo robes. He was taking no chances on his young
lady getting cold feet before he could get her back to the fort. Before
setting out on the trip, Cliff was advised to travel up the valley of the
Beaver. He drove all day through the deep snow and as dusk started to
settle, he became completely turned around in directions, but he kept
going, even after dark set in. Finally the team stopped on their own
accord which was good, since they were standing at the very edge of a
30-foot perpendicular drop into a ravine! After that near mishap, he
decided to let the horses have their heads. Leaving the sleigh he set off
on horseback and finally came to the edge of a deep gulch. Looking down
he saw a lantern moving, so he called and was answered. It was the McLain
place, and a good bit off the route he had intended to take. After
spending the night there, Cliff started for Williamsport and his
bride-to-be. It took him two days to travel from the McLains to the
Robinson home. Starting back, the couple decided to go West to the river
and follow the stage road. Bundled in robes and wearing clumsy buffalo
boots, it took two days to get to Fort Yates. Along the way, snow banks
twelve feet high lined the road in many places. They were married at the
fort by the Army Post Chaplain.
