Notes

[NI0003] Has been called "P.J." since birth.

[NI0006] Elmer's named was originally Elmer Alvin, but was changed to Elmer Rudolph for some unknown reason.

Worked on a road gang in 1929. Used to take the road past Mt. Rushmore back and forth to work everyday and watched them carve the faces in the mountain.

Was always called "Stump" by his family (not by his wife,Marjorie, however) because when he was very young he was as wide as he was tall and his dad said he looked like a stump.

He was a football star at Winner, SDak. and still holds the record as the "best all around football player in the history of Winner High School". He received a football scholarship to the University of Oregon, Eugene. Soon after he reported to school (before classes even started) he got word his mother was very ill. He hitchhiked back to SDakota to be at her side when she died.

[NI0010] Hugh and Ellen had a first son, Harold, who was born about 1929. It is believed he died shortly after birth. No search has yet been made for birth and/or death records (as of 8/16/97). Whenever asked about Harold, Ellen would say "He was a poor little thing." It is believed that Hugh buried the child on the property.

[NI0011] Ellen was a very private person, who was loved by all her family. Even though she was a little thing, she had a strong, but quiet personality. It was very hard to get her to do anything she didn't want to do and to get you to do what she wanted you to do.

She lived 8 days after her 95th birthday. She lived alone until about shortly before her death when she was walking in the hallway of her apartment when her hip broke and she fell, landing very hard, breaking a bone in her neck. She spent the next few weeks in a hospital and then a convalescent home. She kept her wits and sense of humor up to the very end.

She got great joy from her children, 27 grandchildren, ____ great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren. She had all their pictures on her walls and knew all their names, and who belonged to who.

[NI0022] Killed at Petersburg, VA in Civil War.

[NI0025] Lived in Hunting Creek Area of Halifax County

[NI0026] Lived in Crystal Hill area.

[NI0032] Kate Glidewell was raised by a Nichols family, hence the erroneous thought that she was a Nichols.
1910 Halifax census: Henry Nichols, age 33, married 12 years; Carrie (wife), age 33 with Walter (or Willis) a brother, age 27; and Rebecca Glidewell (niece) age 17, Kate Glidewell (niece) age 15.

[NI0035] In the 1850 census of Halifax County, VA, the following children are listed:
Daniel, age 8
George, age 6
Sarah, age 4
Elizabeth, age 2

Nancy is not listed. It is possible she died early.

[NI0045] Never married

[NI0056] Died getting into a taxi after visiting husband Fred in hospital. Fred never knew Minnie had died. He past away 25 days later. He had Alzheimer's disease and recognized only his youngest child, Marjorie, in the last days of his life. He was a refrigeration engineer.

[NI0057] Had polio as a child. Never recovered from birth of son by C-section. Died 7 days after David's birth.

[NI0077] Nicknamed "Fritzi". Drowned in a swampy area in West Seattle.

[NI0089] Nicknamed "Chad". Diagnosed with Turett's Syndrome.

[NI0090] According to Frank's great great granddaughter, Sue, who lives in Michigan (1998), Frank picked up and left his family in Michigan. The youngest, Emily, was only a baby when he left for Seattle. Apparently, he and Margaret were never divorced. Emily came to Seattle in the 1920's to find her father. She met Ellen, his daughter by Nellie. None of this was known during Ellen's lifetime. She apparently did not want to share this information with her family.

[NI0093] Also listed as Mariah Tryphena, born May 14, 1844

[NI0094] per Boston, Mass 1890 Directory, he lived at 16 Posen.

[NI0160] The story goes that when Paul came to the US from Canada (Hamilton, Ontario?) he could not speak English (only French). When the immigration official asked what his name was, he pointed to the sky and then to a mud puddle. They thought he was saying Storms, and so that was the name they gave him.

[NI0161] Adelaide Bissett was one-half Cree Indian. In looking at her picture, she also looks to be a bit cross-eyed. The story is that when Paul Storms died, Adaldile gave all their belongings to the Catholic Church and became a num with the Little Sisters of Peace. This divided the family; some staying Catholic and others not.

[NI0180] As an Armstrong, Eleanor lived in the Fraser River area of British Columbia, Canada.

Note: The relationship of this Peter Hudson as son to Robert (3) Hudson (Chesterfield Hudsons) is speculation at this time (1995), proposed earlier by Malcolm Hudson. The basis for the speculation is that Peter Hudson names Robert (5) Hudson in his 1753 Halifax County will as "nephew" and leaves Robert "400 acres of land on both sides of the headwaters of Ashcake Creek whereon he (Robert) now lives".

[NI0379] George and Hannah lived near Gooseville Corners in Fabius, NY. Drove geese from Fabius to Albany for market in NYC and brought horses back for sale in Central NY.

from "Genealogy of the Benedicts in America Vol. II" by Elwyn E Benedict (1969), pg 276.

[NI0391] Frank was born Frank C. Kuffal but was adopted by his uncle Frank and the name was changed to Petera.

Frank either owned or worked on a boat which ferried carts and passengers across the Missouri River from Niobrara, Nebraska to Running Water S. D. No record of a boat owner named Petera was found in the Niobrara Museum even though there was quite an exhibit on the early ferries. This makes it possible that he either worked on one or leased from someone else.

He left Nebraska before 1912 and went by covered wagon to Oklahoma where they lived for 1 year. They then took the train back to Winner SDak and homesteaded there. He built their home and died in his bed there. The homestead is still in relatively the same condition as when they lived there. You can still see parts of the iron bedpost sticking out of the ground. The land has a sweeping view of valleys and a river. The home burned down in the 1929 and Elmer built his mother a 12x16 shack in Wood, SDak. This home is still there, although knocked to the ground.

A copy of a Warranty Deed shows him turning over his land to the Rosebud Tribe of Indians (Sioux). When Frank was very ill, he could not pay his taxes on the homestead because of medical bills so he lost the property.

He also owned the first blacksmith shop in Verdel, NE. He built a haystacker from bridge planks for a Frank Hanzlik. "It really did the job, but required four horses to move it." (according to "Niobrara Centennial Book", 1856-1956, which was updated by the Niobrara Bicentennial Committee in 1976.



In the 1900 Census, he is listed as head of household, living with grandmother Katherina. In Raymond, Knox County, Nebraska.

1920 Census has his family living in Mellette County, SD., Township 43, Range 26. (must be Wood)

[NI0392] Text of her obituary in newspaper (probably Wood SD paper):
"Mrs. Frank Petera, who has been critically ill at the Pierre hospital for the past several weeks, answered the final summons last Sat. morning at about 1 o'clock A.M. The direct cause of her death was cancer and anemia. Ida Broderson was born in Audubon county Iowa, March 4, 1884. On Dec. 22, 1907, she was united in marriage to Frank Petera at O'Neill, Neb. To this union, five children were born, all of whom survive her; four sons, Frank, Elmer, Benjamin and Arthur, and one daughter, Mrs. Ethel Soyars. The deceased husband passed from this life Oct. 4, 1925.
Immediately after her marriage she and her husband made their home at Verdel, Neb., where he operated a Missouri river ferryboat, and later he moved his boat to Wheeler and the family made their home at that place until 1914, when they moved to Winner and the father came to Mellette county and filed on a homestead northeast of Wood on the river. The family moved to Mellette county in 1916, and have lived here ever since.
The departed one had been in very poor health for some time past and for the past six weeks or two months has been a patient at the Pierre hospital, but was unable to get any relief there, and she passed away last St. morning.
Besides the children mentioned above who survive her, 7 brothers and 3 sisters survive her. They are Sam Broderson of Denmark, who has not been heard from in a number of years; John Broderson, Harry Broderson, Ralph Broderson, Chris Broderson, all of Wagner, SD., Elar Broderson of Stevensville, Montana, and Andrew Broderson, of Wood; and three sisters, Mrs. Ann Lesick of San Diego, CA; Mrs. Meda Hanley of Wagner, SD; and Mrs. Christina Misner of Wood. The body was brought to Wood Monday morning and funeral services were held in the Catholic church there. The body was taken to Winner where it was laid to its last rest besides the remains of her husband, in the Catholic cemetery there.
The funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors who had known the deceased for a number of years, and the floral offerings were beautiful. The bereaved have the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the entire community."

[NI0393] Was nicknamed "Cap" because he used to ride on his father's ferry boat when he worked on the Niobrara River.

[NI0394] Was always referred to as "Sis", never Ethel, by her brothers.

[NI0395] Served in World War II. Was a part of the Washington Soldiers' Home Community in Orting, WA Buried at Wash. Soldiers Home cemetery.

Had a wonderful sense of humor, was fun loving and great to all his nieces and nephews. Was our favorite "Uncle Benny".

Other children are Beverly and Jim. Mother's names not known.

[NI0396] Nicknamed "Bubbas" . Played the piano by ear; could play just about anything without reading any music.

[NI0398] Mr. ? Kuffal died around 1880 and Antonia moved in with her parents (Joseph and Katerina Petera) with her children. Apparently, she abandoned her Son, Frank C. Her brother, Frank, then adopted little Frank.

Antonia later married Hans Johnson and had two more children. They were living in Running Water, S.D., which is just over the Niobrara River from Niobrara.

[NI0400] The family emigrated to America June 26, 1866 from Bohemia and settled in Grant County, Wisc. They had 14 children, of whom 7 were alive in 1900.

1870 US Census lists his name at "Pettra". 1880 census says "Petera". 1870 and 1880 censuses are for Wingville, Grant County, WI.

1870 census has value of real estate as $1000, personal property as $260.

[NI0401] Katerina emigrated with her family to Nebraska in 1866 from Bohemia. Could not speak English at the time.

She is buried in Niobrara, NE. She has a very impressive gravestone, standing about 6 feet tall with a crucifix on top, reading (in Bohemian) "Here lies Katerina Petera, born in "Cechoch" (Bohemia?) 1821, passed away 15 November 1914, aged 92 yrs, 5 mos, 12 days. Rest in Peace". A rubbing from her grave was made by her great great granddaughter, Julie Petera Hudson, June 1997.

[NI0405] When his sister, Antonia's, husband (Kuffal), died Frank and his wife, Rosamund, adopted his nephew, Frank C. Petera. We do not know why she left her son to her brother.

An article in the February 19, 1925 "Verdigre Citizen" states: "Thursday evening Frank Petera was found dead in his chair by Emil Kacer and August Slechta. He died after he finished his evening meal. Two children of Mrs. Chas. Bernat were there a few minutes before. He was one of the charter members of the ZCBJ Lodge Uyschrad, Niobrara. He was treasurer for many years. In 1868 he and his parents moved to South Dakota where his father obtained a homestead. The father died and they sold what they had and Frank and his mother and brother-in-law moved to Chicago. They stayed two years and moved to Running Water, S.D. He worked for the railroad for some time and, when the Ponca reservation was opened to homesteaders, he and his mother filed for a homestead. After 12 years he sold his property and moved to Niobrara. He was 64 years old. He leaves to mourn one brother, Anton, living in Wisconsin; two sisters, Marie (Mrs. John) Cerny of Niobrara, and Antonia (Mrs. Hans) Johnson of Running Water."

He is buried at the cemetery in Niobrara, alongside his mother Katerina.

The ZCBJ Lodge is now the Western Fraternal Life Association. Frank was also on the building committee for their new hall in 1909. It was dedicated June 17, 1910.

[NI0407] The 1880 census of Wingville, WI has a Mary C. Kuffal, 5 mos old as daughter of Antonia Kuffal, and granddaughter of Joseph Petera, all living with Joseph.

Mary died of a heart attack while sitting in her rocker. She was found by a neighbor. Death certificate no. 00-314341, County no. 1142. State of South Dakota.

He is listed as head of household in 1900 census of Raymond, Knox County, Nebraska. Living with him were wife Sean, children Johnie, Harry, Meta (Almeda), Ida, Stenie(Christina), Chris and Ralph.

[NI0417] Sam, for some reason, was left behind in Denmark when his parents immigrated to the US.

[NI0420] Was living in Wagner, SDak in 1937

[NI0421] Was nicknamed "Steenie". Elmer recounts that when she had her son Laverne, "Sonny", she was standing up, holding onto a post, and Sonny came out and bounced off the floor. They were living with Ida and Frank at the time.

She is listed in the 1957 Olympia, WA City Directory as Christine Webb, kitchen worker at Ben Moore Cafe. Lived at 506-1/2 E 4th Ave., Apt. 8

[NI0422] Chris was one of the exceptions to the male members of the Broderson family. He was a hard worker and a very strict Catholic.

[NI0446] David's first house was a log structure built by him and his brother Samuel when they were 18 and 16 years of age, respectively. Later he built the brick house now standing on the crest of the hill, the brick having been made at the foot of the hill where he established a brick-yard for that purpose, and where were also made the brick for the house east of the "Capt. James place" on the farm once called the Magar Place.

In his will dated 2 Aug 1669, probated 16 Sep 1669, he mentions wife Margaret, eldest son Joseph, other children Samuel, James, Abigail (under age 21), sons-in-law Josiah Standish and Nathaniel Greenwood.

Logic makes James and Sarah his children by Anne Whitmore. Assume that the others are Margaret Lamb's. Also cannot match up the sons-in-law.

[NI0553] Are Belinda (Emery's wife) and Caroline Clark related?

[NI0559] Are Cynthia and Asa Whitman related? Asa married Mercy, Joel Thompson's sister.

[NI0566] Lived to be about 55 years old, which is rare for Downs children. Lived at home for the first few years, then was placed in managed care facilities.

[NI0578] Betty also had twin girls, Corrie and Cassie, in another relationship.

[NI0581] The following is from "Historical Southern Families", Vol. X by Boddie:

Chillian was a "Southside Virginia Planter, Vestryman, miller, and survey". When he married Mary Pettus, her father, John Pettus, Sr. gave them 315 acres of land on Little Roanoke River in Charlotte Co. They lived there for many years and paid taxes on the land until 1804, but in 1798, he moved to a plantation with mill on Turnip Creek, adjoining the land of his brother,Luke.

In 1809, they moved again to Halifax County within Antrim Parish to a more opulent plantation with 210 acres on the Dan River and 610 acres on Lawson's Creek, where he died. Mary outlived him about 16 years.

[NI0585] Thomas is not to be confused with another Thomas Palmer who also owned land on Turnip Creek in Charlotte Co. On the tax records, our Thomas is listed as "son of Chil".

Thomas displayed early in life those unmistakable qualities of ability and aggressiveness which, characterized by vision, discernment, judgment and wisdon, had far-reaching results. His heirs and their heirs were not only to inherit an exalted and eminent lineage, but were to be assured a classical education in higher institutions of learning. He purchased much land and finally owned over 5,000 acres on the Roanoke River near the Virginia-North Carolina line. This land has a manion house and family burial plot at Chestnut Hill in Northampton, NC and much more.

[NI0593] The following was obtained from Sue Palmer-Elliott who has edits a Palmer newsletter on America OnLine:
We think this Martin Palmer is the one who advertised his plantation, "The Kentucky" in William Co. on May 30, 1751. He probably sold his land in that county and moved to Charlotte Co. where he continued to reside the rest of his life. Charlotte at that time was included in the jurisdiction of Lunenburg Co. and the first record of Martin in that section of VA is found in Lunenburg Co.
On 7/7/1761, James and Sarah Sullivant of Lunenburg Co deeded to Martin Palmer 277 acres of land on both sides of Twitty's Creek at the head of an island and including the island (Vol.6, pg 385 Lun.Co.VA). In 1767 Isham Pruitt and wife Frances of Cornwall Parish, Charlotte Co. deeded land in that county to Martin Palmer (Vol. 1, p.157,Charlotte Co). On Feb. 5, 1770 Martin Palmer of Charlotte Co. deeded 10-1/3 acres of land in that county on Twitty's Creek to John Sullivan (vol.2,p.161). This deed clearly shows that the property that Sullivant deeded to Martin on 7/7/61 in Lunenburg was in that section which later became Charlotte Co.
On Sept 6, 1773, he deeded to his son, Luke Palmer, several slaves and on Feb. 6, 1775, he made a deed also to his son Chillion (our line) (vol. 3, p.362).
On Nov 1, 1779 Martin and his wife Milly deeded land in Charlotte Co. to James Tarpley of Brunswick Co (Vol. 1, p.161)
Mar 1, 1796, Martin Palmer Sr of Halifax Co., VA deeded to his son Isham negroes, cattle and all the rest of his real and personal estate (vol. 17, p.12). This seems to be the last record of Martin and it indicates that he had by this time moved to Halifax Co. It is to be noted that this deed speaks of him as Sr. and this is due to the fact that his son Martin had evidently become old enough to own property. There appears to be no will or administration and it is quite probable that he died soon after making this deed to his son Isham. He was taxed in Halifax Co. from 1782 to at least 1789.
Martin was in the Revolutionary War as Sergeant of the Virginia Infantry. A record of his service is on Pg 602, "Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution", by John H. Gwathmey.

Portions of this text can be found in Julie Hudson' files.

Legend has it that his family resided in the silk mfg. district of France and were of Latin origin; that they fled to Germany and, by way of Holland, to England. He was an only son, the name Thomas having been given to only sons in the family for more than 100 years. His mother died early. His father married again whose daughter, Mary Bridgum came to New England in 1638 on the same boat with Thomas, who was 21 at the time. They then married residing in the Mass. Bay Colony.

[NI1040] Per Lorraine Gerguson/Goss, descendent of Ezra Perry, a family story is that Ezra and his brother, Edward were brought to the US by their widowed stepmother, Mrs. Sarah Perry.

[NI1048] William and Elizabeth are the beginning of the "Hanover" Line of Hudsons.

[NI1097] History says that James and his friend Joseph Putney discovered the great meadows in Dunbarton, NH while on a hunting trip. The facilities there induced both men to form a permanent settlement. About 1748 after being warned that indians were in the area, they bundled their belongings and took refuge in the garrison in Concord, NH. The next day they returned to find their houses and barns smoking ruins, their cattle slaughtered and all their apple trees cut down but one. In 1749, they returned and made permanent settlement in Dunbarton.

A few years later, James, while he was driving cattle a distance back into the woods for feed, being dressed in clothing made of bear's skin, was mistaken for a bear by a friend, who shot and killed James.

[NI1110] Freeborn's unusual name honors his paternal grandmother's brother, by family legend, because he was such a puny little thing, no one thought he would live to bear the name anyway.

[NI1114] Andrew acquired warranty patent SW 1/3 of SW 1/4, Sect. 8, TWP. 76, Range 39 on October 28, 1863 (Pottawattamie Co., IA) Would have been first Carrier to homestead.

[NI1126] Andrew and Rebecca had 15 children.

[NI1134] Research of H. Byron Renshaw finds one Thomas Carrier arriving in VA in "Bristol to America", a passenger listing from 1654-1663. Thomas Carrier, Cordwainer, indentured to Henry Miller, merchant, for 4 years in VA.

Thomas was mentioned in Benjamin Franklin's "Pennsylvania Gazette" dated June 26, 1735 (item: Boston 16 June 1735): CARRIER, Thomas of Colchester, VT - lately died there in his 110th year, leaving 5 children, 39 grandchildren and 28 great-granchildren.

[NI1135] Martha (Allen) Carrier, as a result of the infamous witch trials, was hung at Salem, MA on August 19, 1692. Editred by George S. May, published May 1, 1978.

[NI1138] Kim died before her first birthday.

[NI1140] from "History of Southern Families, Vol. X", John Bennett Bodie

Luke's will, dated 1/15/1814 is on file in Will Book No. 3, p. 265, Charlotte Co., VA. He names his wife, Mary, and the above named children. "Virginia Magazine of History and Biography", Vol. 18, pg 32, lists Luke as one of the signers of the famous "Petition of Sundry Inhabitants of Prince Edward Co., Va", Oct. 11, 1776, for religious liberty.

Luke was a recognized patriot of the Revolutionary Ware. He is listed as having given material aid to the Continental Army.

Mary Foster and Luke Palmer signed a contract on April 28, 1813 "to dissolve the connection of man and wife and to separate from this day forward forever".

[NI1143] Information reprinted from Sue Palmer-Elliott:

Milly died when her youngest child, William, was an infant. He was cared for by his sister, Mary Jame, and an old family slave.

[NI1144] Moved to TN and KY

[NI1147] Probably the one who was in the 1810 census in Woodford County KY as head of a family with 7 persons and 4 slaves (KY State Hist. Soc. Reg. Vol 14#41, p.50). Also probably the one who was on the grand jury and a signer of a petition in 1819 in St. Charles, MO (History of St. Charles, Montgomery & Warren Cos, MO 18985, p. 192)

[NI1150] Descendents have stated that he moved to Brown Co. OH and died there. He was listed as a settler in Ames township, Athens County OF from 1805 to 1809 and was a trustee in 1808 and Overseer of the Poor in 1809 (History of Rocking Valley, OH 1883, p. 495).

[NI1154] The first record we have is his appearance as Martin, Jr. as witness to deeds in 1705 in King William Co. He also was the Martin Palmer who brought an action in 1721, together with Roger Palmer, on behalf of his infant brothers and sisters.

On May 7, 1722, Martin Palmer of St. John's Parish, King William Co. deeded to Julius King of the same parish 140 acres in said parish for 80 pounds, bounded by the lands of Joseph Brown and the road leading to Williams Ferry. Again, on Jan. 1, 1742, Martin and Roger Palmer sold jointly land in St. John's Parish.

Martin was also Sheriff of King William Co. in 1744.

There appears to be no further record of this Martin Palmer in King Wm. Co. However, we believe he lived there his entire life and had a number of children.

On May 30, 1750, there appeared in the Virginia Gasette an ad by Martin Palmer to the effect that he would lease or sell his plantation "where he now lives in King William Countys" (William & Mary, Vol. 12, p 82). We think that this ad refers to the son Martin rather than this Martin who was born abt 1685. If so, then Martin, who was born 1635 had died before this date.

[NI1156] It has been said by descendents of Martin Palmer that he had a brother William who went to So. Carolina with Isham Pruit and his wife Frances. It was not stated as to which Martin Palmer this William was a brother, but we have concluded from the meager data obtainable to date that William was a son of Martin (3), born abt 1685. Then, we are also assuming that Frances was a sister of this William Palmer.

The only record we have of this William in SC is in the records of the Parish of Prince Frederick Wingan, which show the birth of Jonathan Palmer, the son of William and Agnes, in July 1741, and also that they had a son born on Jan. 19, 1750. There appears to be another Jonathan Palmer in SC somewhat earlier, as appears from the following two records:

1) in 1718 thre was a grant of 500 acres of land in Berkeley Co., SC bounded north by Jonathan Pamor (an earlier spelling for Palmer), and another grant of 372 acres of land in the same county, bounded so by Jonathan Palmer. No mention is made of the grantee (8.C.H.&G. Mag., Vol 27, p.157).

2) On Apr 2, 1731, an inventory and warrant of appraisement of the estate of Jonathan Pamor was filed in court in the Charleston Probate Office, but no mention was made of the locality, but he was presumably of Berkley Co. (1731-33, BB p. 303). We have placed this Jonathan as an uncle of this William.

[NI1157] The only record we have of this Nicholas is a deed by James Palmer of St. John's Parish to Thomas Lipscomb , which deed recites that Nicholas, late of St. John's Parish had died in the year 1781, leaving a will by which his wife Ann and his son James were named Executors and that said James qualified on Dec. 23, 1795. This deed covered 200 acres in St. John's Parish and was recorded on Dec. 28, 1795, no date being given for the deed (Vol 1, p.?, KW County, Valentine Papers, Vol. 2, p. 905).

On the tax list of KW Co. for the year 1782 appears the name of Ann Palmer. There appears to be no further record of this James Palmer, nor do we know if Nicholas had any other children. There was, however, a William Palmer in KW County who was deeded land by James Johnson, Jr. and wife Lucy on Nov. 1, 1792 (Vol 1 KW Co). This William could also be a son of Nicholas.

[NI1158] This Frances may be confused with Frances, dau. of Tomas Palmer b. Oct. 21, 1725 who died 1804 in Union Co. SC and was the son of Robert Palmer of North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co. VA).

[NI1172] According to www.southern-style.com/pettus.htm, was a mayor of Norfolk Co., England

[NI1637] His first name is spelled variously as Barnard, Bernard, Barnet, etc. in records, but rightfully should be Barnard after his mother's father, Barnard Haile. Likewise, the surname Boorn is often spelled Bourn, Bourne, etc. He served in Capt. Nathan Smith's and Capt. Gideon Ormsby's companies during the Revolution. He was a farmer and butcher in Manchester.

His sons, Stephen and Jesse, were convicted of the murder of their brother-in-law, Russell Colvin, in 1819 and sentenced to be hung. The sentence was repealed when Russell Colvin returned to Manchester, alove and well. Barnard had briefly been jailed as an accomplice before the trial, but was released and not charged. Many books have been written about this.

[NI1641] Buried at Factory Point Cemetery, Manchester, VT. Lot 2, Block 1, Section Range 19. Belonged to Capt. Gideon Ormsby's Co., Col. Warren's Regiment, Vermont Militia.

[NI1723] John was a member of the Taunton, MA town council in 1675-76 and 1690; constable, commissioner and surveyor. His residence was at "Neck of land", about 3/4 mile from center of the town. In March, 1677, he was a distributor of 10 pounds, being Taunton's part of the "Irish Charity" sent from Dubl;in in 1676 for sufferers from King Philip's War. He was often on important committees concerning the settlement of boundaries.

Woodson and Annix were neighbors of Patrick Henry and named one of their sons after him

He was a revolutionary army soldier, drew land in Walton Co. in the Georgia Land Lottery of 1827.

[NI1782] Twin of Asa (Acy) Allen

[NI1783] Sherod came to Fayette Co. (now Clayton Co.) GA in the 1820's when that section was virtually a wilderness. He established his hime and plantation five miles west of Jonesboro, GA (a city not then existent). This section was made famous in Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind".

Sherod and Annis are buried at Riverdale Methodist Church Cemetary (Pleasant Grove), Riverdale, GA.

Sherod was a veteran of the Indian War of 1836. He was a large land owner and had many slaves.

More information on his children can be found in "Historical Southern Families", Vol. X by Boddie.

[NI1787] Moved to Villa Rica, Ga upon her marriage

[NI1872] Orrin G. Hatch is currently a United States Senator from Utah.

[NI1873] Henry III, as part of the Muscovy Co., failed in his attempts to find a passage to China in 1607 and 1608. Sailing in the "Half Moon" as part of the "Dutch East India Co.", he discovered the Hudson River in 1609. In 1610, sailing for England in the ship "Discovery", Henry founded what is now Hudson Bay. On this voyage, in 1611, the Discovery was mutinied and Henry and his son were set adrift in the sea to perish.

[NI1875] Henry's official title was Gentleman, Alderman of London, Lord of Manors. He has gathered considerable wealth in trade and was lord over many manors, some of which were conferred to him by King Henry VIII. The significance of the title Gentleman comes from the aristocracy of ancient England. Gentleman was a title given to men of certain novility signifying social position in England. During the 1500's, England was divided into two distinctive classes: the aristocracy (land owners) and the peasants. There was no middle class, so you were either a rich land owner or you were poor. Gentleman Henry was obviously of the aristocracy demonstrated by his collection of titles and the ownership of a coat of arms that identifies our family.

The inscription on Henry's tombe in St. Dunstan's indicates that he had 8 soms and 3 daughters with a wife named Barbara. The LDS Church documents only 2 of his sons; William (our line), and Henry II.

[NI1877] 1880 census states she was born in Canada - subsequent censuses say she was born in Michigan.

In the 1910 census of Midland, Michigan, she was living with her son, George, who had not married yet.

[NI1897] Supposedly, Thomas and his family came to America on the ship "Mary and Joseph". Another researcher into this line is under the impression that Thomas had been a tailor, by trade, and a farmer, by necessity. From the inventory of his estate, the assumption is that he may have also dabbled in carpenty/cabinet making.

[NI1898] Meltiah was lost at sea after Jeremiah's birth. Meltiah and Johanna are thought to have lived on some "free land" held by his uncle Captain Joseph Hatch, the land later found to be in New Hampshire after a new survey.

[NI1900] Jeremiah and Mary made their home in Winchester, Cheshire County, NH. He was a surveyor and held various offices in Winchester. They had 8 children.

[NI1902] Because of overcrowding as the result of veterans being given "bounty" land, Ira and Lucinda moved from Winchester, NH to what became Farmersville, Cattaraugus County, NY. On their way, they lived in Buffalo, Henrietta, and after 1817, they moved to Little Genessee. They had 8 children.

[NI1904] In the early 1830's Ira and Welthea joined the Church of LDS (Mormons) and moved to Nauvoo, Ill in 1840 where she died after having 7 children. Ira then remarried and had other families having entered into plural marriages in Utah.

[NI1905] Welthea was a direct descendent of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Colory.

[NI1906] Orin had 2 wives simultaneously, Melissa and Maria. He and Melissa had 13 children, and had 8 with Maria. He was a member of the famous Mormon Battalion, was in Coloma, CA when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, helped found several towns, including Carson City, NV, and then settled in Bountiful, Utah.

[NI1909] Orin Perry was prominant in the church, served in the Utah Legislature, and with his cousins, researched and wrote the book "Genealogy and History of the Hatch Family", published in 1925. He was said to have traveled to England to further research the line.

[NI1946] John arrived at Plymouth about 1630 with the last of the Leyden contingent. His identity is proved by a 1640 grant to him and Joseph Rogers, calling them brothers, and giving them each 50 acres at the North River. If Thomas had other sons, it is highly unlikely that they lived to maturity, since they neither appear in the 1622 tax list, nor were they granted land with their brothers.

Research among the married women of Plymouth and Salem, where many of the Leyden group landed, has so far failed to show any Margaret or Elizabeth as a likely daughter of Thomas. To date, the Mayflower Society recognizes only Joseph and John as children of Thomas.

In 1634, John bought land in Duxbury, and was also granted 50 acres in 1640, as was his brother, Joseph. John served on a jury for the first time in 1641, was made a freeman around 1641/42, and became a highway surveyor in Duxbury in 1644. He was also a deputy at court in 1657, and was made a constable of Fuxbury in 1685. As one of the "ancient freemen", he was given land in 1662 on the northerly side of Taunton. In 1664, he sold half his meadow northwest of "Joanes River" with the consent of his wife, Anna. This is the only time she is called by name except at their marriage.

In 1667 he was granted 100 acres on Coteticutt River, and in 1670, John Rogers of Duxbury, Weaver, "and his wife" acknowledged a deed made in 1654, through which he had sold the 50 acres granted to him in 1640. He sold another 100 acres in 1673. His last recorded land transaction was the sale of an acrew of his Duxbury land to Wrestling Brewster, acknowledging his signature in 1685.

The original will of John Rogers, probated Sept. 20, 1692, is not longer in existence, but the copy entered in the records of Plymouth Colonry at this death appoints his son, John Rogers, as "sole Executor and Administrator".

[NI1948] He became a citizen of Leyden, Holland on June 25, 1618 with sponsors William Jepson and Roger Wilson, and is called a Camlet-merchant. Just 2 years later on April 1, 1620, he sold his house in Leyden before coming to America on the Mayflower.

He brought his son, Joseph, on the Mayflower. He died the first winter, but Joseph survived. William Bradford, in his "Of Plymouth Plantation", writes of Thomas: "the rest of Thomas Rogers' (children) came over and are married and have many children."

In the 1622 poll tax for Leyden are listed his wife Elsgen (Alice) and daughters Lysbeth (Elizabeth), and Frietgen (Margaret), and son, John. John Rogers is known to have come to America and married, but, unfortunately, the whereabouts of Elizabeth and Margaret remain unknown, though Bradford seems to suggest they came to America and married.

The baptismal records of Thomas' children have just recently been found (1996) in Watford, England.

[NI1949] Elsgen is "Alice" in Dutch.

[NI1951] Killed by the "upsetting of a cart".

[NI1969] She never married.

[NI2017] John came to America from Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire, England, where the old Richmond Manor House is still standing. He probably left England about 1635, and was one of the purchasers of Taunton, Mass in 1637. He was married before he left England. He was away from Taunton much of his life - through the records he is known to have been at Newport, RI (where he was a commissioner in 1656) and other places - but he returned to Taunton and died there. The part of the town where he owned land is still called Richmondtown.
