| 264 | Stephen Gates arrived at Boston, Massachusetts on the ship Diligent,landing August 10, 1638. He travelled with wife Anne and daughtersElizabeth and Mary. He is listed "of Norwich, Norfolk", and bound forHingham. Ages are not given. He settled in Hingham, where he received a grant of three acres for ahouse lot, twelve acres for a "great lot" and a three acre planting lot.His house was on Town (now North) Street and was bounded on the north bythe street, on the east by William Buckland's land, and on the west bythe town swamp. In 1647, he received a grant of half an acre of saltmarsh. Stephen and his wife probably did not become members of the Hinghamchurch until about May 3, 1646, when their children, Simon, Thomas, Isaacand Rebecca were baptized (birth dates of the children are not found inthe town records). He sold his house lot and other property to William Hersey, June 26,1648, after which he may have removed for a time to Cambridge. By 1653,he had moved to Nashaway (Lancaster), where he became one of the town'slargest proprietors. he was one of the petitioners for Lancaster'sincorporation (April 3, 1654). His house lot was "on the neck lying north to the house lot of JohnWhitcomb, Jr., bounded by the lot of said John Whitcomb south by thehouse lot of Nathaniel Joslin north by a range of lots easerly whichlyeth on west side of Penicock River and westwardly a piece ofentervail...nigh adjoinning to the North River, the said house lot beingtwenty acres more or less." Stephen also had two intervale lots, one ofthirteen acres; the other of seven, and 314 acres of the upland division. Stephen was admitted Freeman May 14, 1656 and served as constable in1657. Stephen was fined 10 pounds because, as Constable, he failed tonotify the voters about a town meeting. The court remitted the fine, whenStephen attributed his lapse to illness, but they relieved him of hisconstable's staff. In 1658, the sons of John Whitcomb killed three ofStephen's pigs. Whitcome agreed to pay for them, but then sought to bereleased from the obligation being "aged and weak and mean in estate."The Court decided in Gate's favor. By then, Stephen was living inSudbury. He subsequently removed to Cambridge, where he rented a farm, made hiswill (dated June 9, 1662), and died sometime before the end of September,when his estate was inventoried. The will, proved October 7,1662, mentions his wife, sons Simon andThomas, and daughters Elizabeth and Mary (Maynar). | GATES, Stephen (I26742)

| 265 | Stephen was presumably the third son of Balthazar and Alice De Wolf of Lyme, Conn. He served as a youth in the Connecticut Volunteers during the India troubles, including "King Philip's War," with his eldest brother Edward, for which they were awarded a township in Narragansett now known as Voluntown, Connecticut. Stephen appears to have been married twice. Details of the first marriage are not available. His second marriage, to Hanna (De Wolf) before 1690, is dated by the birth of their first child. http://www.spoonergen.com/trees/US-William/notes.html#NI15593 | DE WOLF, Stephen (I245)

| 266 | Surname: Also spelled STERNES in Billerica Vital Records Death: In a deed dated 14 Oct 1728 (_Billerica Deeds_, 3:190), Capt. JohnStearns of Billerica gave for parental love and affection to SamuelStearns, "my grandson, the only son of my son, Samuel Stearns ofBillerica, deceased," a seventy-acre messuage of house lot near what isnow the Billerica-Bedford town line and a nine-acre lot near one DanielBarney's land in present-day Bedford. | STEARNS, Samuel Jr. (I15637)

|
| 268 | Surname: Recorded as 'Huchenson' in Salem, Massachusetts VRs, p. 1:455. Mr. Hutchinson lived through the ever memorable period of the Witchcraftdelusion of 1692. Strong in his mind, and sensible as he was on everyother subject, yet he was not proof against the current of thought whichpervaded some of the noblest intellects of that age. He was one of anumber who entered a complaint against Tituba, an Indian woman living inthe family of Rev. Samuel Parris, Sarah, the wife of Wm. Good, and Sarah,wife of Alex'r Osborn. During the greater part of its seventeenth-century existence SalemVillage was torn by internal and external dissension. There were fierceboundary disputes with Topsfield, dissatisfaction with the village'srelationship to the mother town of Salem, quarrels between the parish(political) and the church (spiritual) and personal controversies overthe choice of ministers, all culminating in the horrors of the witchcraftdelusion of 1692. Joseph Hutchinson seems to have kept fairly clear ofcontention. He was, however, definitely of the parish party. In 1686 hefenced off his loand surrounding the meetinghouse acre, leaving anentrance on the end toward the road. The authorities sued him for sodoing and his answer is indicative of his character: "Joseph Hutchinson his answer is as followeth:--First, as to the covenantthey spoke of, I conceive it is neither known of by me nor them, as willappear by records from the farmer's book. Second, I conceive they haveno cause to complain of me for fencing in my own land; for I am sure Ifenced in none of theirs. I wish they would not pull down my fences. Iam loath to complain, though I have just cause. Third, for blocking upthe meetinghouse, it was they did it, and not I, in the time of theIndian wars; and they made Salem pay for it. I wish they would bring memy rocks they took to do it with; for I want them to make fence with. "Thus hoping this honored Court will see that there was no just cause tocomplain against me, and their cause will appear unjust in that theywould in an unjust way take away my land, I trust I shall have relief; soI rest, your Honor's servant., (Nov. 27, 1686.) Joseph Hutchinson." In the long controversy between the parish and the church resulting fromthe personality and cupidity of Mr. Parris, Hutchinson was definitelyarrayed against that clergyman, and thus placed himself and his family ingrave danger when, in the frantic months of 1692, Parris practically heldpowers of life and death in his control. This does not mean thatHutchinson did not believe in the existence of witchcraft. He obviouslydid, as in an emotional reaction to the accusations of the "afflicted"children, he was one of the complainants who procured the warrantsagainst the first unfortunate women accused-- Tituba, Mr. Parris'sIndian slave, Sarah Good and Sara Osburn. As the hysterical proceedingsadvanced, however, he seems to have had strong doubts. He and his wifewere among the signers of the declaration as to the character of RebeccaNurse, and later the close questioning to which he subjected the childAbigail Williams upon a casual meeting with her indicates gravesuspicion. He emerged safely from the crisis and in later yearscontinued to lend support to Mr. Parris's opponents. Hutchinson did notleave a will nor is there any administration of his estate on file. Hehad given to his sons much of his real property during his lifetime. In his father's Will, it is expressed that the care of Sarah, hismother-in-law, be devolved on him. But shortly after his decease, shedesired "to take her abode among her relations," which was just prior toher marriage with Mr. Roots. In doing this some difficulty occurred inthe settlement of her affairs, between herself and Joseph. In 1658 he was chosen constable and tax gatherer, and his name appears onthe jury list for 1679; he was frequently chosen administrator andoverseer, and often was witness to wills, deeds and inventories. Thereis no will or administration of his estate on record, he having duringhis life time, distributed his large property among his children. | HUTCHINSON, Joseph (I15648)

| 271 | The first Calgary phone book from 1903 gives Irish Mellon's phone number as 53. He lived at the Blue Rock Hotel, which he managed. The address given is simply Stephen Avenue (now 8 Street SW). An unidentified newspaper clipping (probably the Calgary Herald) says this: "In the early 1900's the Blue Rock became the Albion... This was the era of proprietor Edward 'Irish' Mellon, a robust, jovial Irishman, as his nick-name implies, who operated the hotel from 1900 to 1915 when he and his sons enlisted in the First World War. Mrs. Mellon ran the hotel until his return in 1919 when they took a service-man's homestead near Youngtown." | MELLON, Edward D. "Irish" (I578)

| 272 | The first record of Launcelot Granger in the new world is in Ipswich,Essex, Massachusetts in 1648, where he leased the farm of Stephen Kent.From there, he removed to Newbury, Mass., where he married on Jan. 4,1653/54 to Joanna, daughter of Robert Adams. In 1679, they removed towhat is now Suffield, connecticut, and he died in 1689. Launcelot is identified as the father of eleven children, only six ofwhom are with Joanna. The other five children are apparently from aprevious marriage, though his wife's name is not unknown. There are a few records of the name Granger emigrating to the new world:Joan and Grace Granger were on the Hercules of Sandwich, which sailedfrom England to America and arrived June 3, 1637. They are listed withthe party of Samuel Hall of Canterbury. This could be Launcelot's firstwife and mother (Grace). Also on the same ship are Stephen Granger, traveling with Jarvis Boyketof Thannington, and Thomas Granger, traveling with Joseph Bachelor ofCanterbury and his family. These are not Launcelot's children, but may benephews. Although I don't know what relation there is between theseGrangers, it is likely that they represent one family, and that theytraveled to the new world very young which is likely why they travelledwith others. | GRANGER, Launcelot (I15661)

| 273 | The first record of William Ward is found in Sudbury in 1639. He may have been there several years. He was admitted Freeman May 10, 1643, and for many years was one of the chief men of the town. He was a deputy to the general court from Sudbury in 1644, for many years was a selectman and most of the time chairman of the board. He was the local magistrate--thecommissioner to end small causes. He deposed October 4, 1664, that he was about sixty-one years old, fixing the year of his birth as 1603. He was one of the nine Sudbury men who petitioned for the grant subsequently known as Marlborough, and including originally not only the present city of Marlborough, but the towns of Westborough, Northborough and Southborough. In 1660, the year of incorporation, Ward settled in the new town ofMarlborough, where his descendants have been numerous and distinguished. He was chosen the first deacon of the Marlborough church. He drew fifty acres, the largest size of house lot granted by theproprietors. These home lots varied, according to the importance of the individual proprietor, from fifteen to fifty acres. His house was on the south side of the road nearly opposite the meeting house, and his land extended to what was then called Belcher's pond, near which the tavern of his son-in-law, Abraham Williams, was located. Ward suffered the usual hardships and losses of the pioneer and especially during King Philip's war he lost heavily. His buildings were burned, his cattle destroyed and one son slain. He died at Marlboro, August 10, 1687, aged eighty-five years. His will was dated April 6, 1686. He bequeathed to his wife Elizabeth; children John and Increase; the children of sons Richard and Eleazer, deceased; son-in-law Abraham Williams; to all his children by former wife and present wife. His widow died December 9, 1700, in her eighty-seventh year. Source: Was downloaded with a GEDCOM many years ago and I have lost the source of where I got the GEDCOM file! | WARD, William (I13712)

| 274 | The inhabitants of Hampton and of the other towns in the province had,with few exceptions, refrained from joining Edward Gove in his quixoticattempt to reform the government; but they could not be insensible to thetyranny of Governor Cranfield. They ever had been, and still were, readyto assist in suppressing acts of rebellion; but they were not prepared toyield to oppression without a struggle. They regarded it as their rightto pour their complaints into the ears of the king, and to ask forredress. But under Cranfield's administration, it was dangerous tocomplain. Still, this appeared the only proper course to be pursued, andafter some consultation, it was adopted. So careful and so cautious hadbeen the movements of the leading men, that their agent had beenselected, funds had been raised to meet his expenses, and he had left theprovince, and was already at Boston, about to embark for England, beforethe governor was aware of their design. The agent, selected and sent on this important mission, was NathanielWeare, Esq., a leading citizen of Hampton. The confidence thus reposed inhim indicates that he had the reputation of being a man of ability,prudence and integrity; and the result showed that their confidence hadnot been misplaced. Fear of being detained by the governor constrained Nathaniel to hasten toBoston, without waiting to obtain the evidence he needed to substantiatethe charges being brought against Governor Cranfield. He was accoumpainedto Boston by Maj. William Vaughan of Portsmouth, and to him was intrustedthe important service of procuring depositions to be forwarded toEngland; but on his return from Boston, he was immediately arrested bythe governor's order, and committed to prison, where he was confined ninemonths much to the detriment not only of his own private interests, butto those of the oppressed people, as this prevented him from obtainingthe evidence necessary for the the King. Other individuals undertook thework that had been assigned to Mr. Vaughan, but they were denied accessto the public records, and when they applied to the governor to summonand swear witnesses for them, their request was not granted. Hence it wasnecessary to go out of the province to have the depositions properlyauthenticated. When Mr. Weare arrived in England, he was not prepared to bring hiscomplaints to the king at once; but after waiting a considerable time fordepositions from home, and waiting in vain, he ventured to profer somegeneral charges against Governor Cranfield. By this means a way wasopened for procuring, in a few months, the needful evidence for, thecomplaint having been referred to the Board of Trade, they transmitted acopy to the accused, that he might prepare a defense; and at the sametime ordered him to allow the complainants access to the records, and toafford them every facility for obtaining and authenticating evidence. However humiliating this order might be, it was from such a source, thathe dared not disobey. As he was charged with not following theinstructions of his commission, concerning Mason's claims, but allowingthose claims to be tried in courts not properly constituted, heimmediately, upon the receipt of this communication from the Board ofTrade, suspended the suits that had been brought, until a decision as tothe legality of the courts could be made by the proper authorities. Nathaniel meanwhile received the evidence needed and presented hischarges in a new and more specific form. A hearing was at length hadbefore the Lords of Trade (March 10, 1685), who reported to the king"that Cranfield had not pursured his instructions with regard to Mason'scontroversy; but instead thereof, had caused courts to be held and titlesto be decided, with exorbitant costs; and that he had exceeded his powerin regulating the value of coins'" Nathaniel had brought other chargesagainst the governor but in relation to them the Lords of Trade expressedno opinion. The report, as made, was accepted by the king in council(SOURCE: History of Hampton, New Hampshire by Joseph Dow). | WEARE, Nathaniel Sr. (I584)

| 275 | The Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut, by Judge Sherman W.Adams, mentions on page 435, in a sketch of the town of Wethersfield,that "In 1635 there was a considerable accession to the new settlement.Those whose names are given below also came from Watertown, a partarriving in 1635 and others in the year following." On the list of namesof persons coming from Watertown and vicinity was that of Lewis Jones.Watertown and Roxbury are not more than five miles apart. It is probablethat this was the ancestor of our Lewis Jones, who was perhaps born justafter arrival there. | JONES, Lewis (I15601)

| 276 | The rector of Wrentham Parish, England in 1617 was Rev. John Phillips,who later emigrated to Dedham Mass. During his years in Dedham, Phillipsonce stated that the blacksmith John Biglelow of Watertown, was the sameinfant whom he had baptized on Feb 16, 1617 as the son of "RandleBeageley", and that he had "known John Biglo from earliest youth upward."In a civil case in Watertown during his lifetime, John Bigelow took thewitness stand and identified himself as "John Biglo, formerly ofWrentham, England." John Bigelow seems to have arrived in Watertown about 1632. He probablycame with an older relative, Elizabeth Bigeloe, second wife of DeaconRichard Butler, who after a short stay in Massachusetts, followed theRev. Thomas Hooker to Connecticut. John took part in the Pequot War of 1636, serving from Watertown. Thenext public mention of him is his marriage in Watertown on 30 October1642 - the first marriage recorded in Watertown - before Mr. Nowell, toMary Warren, daughter of John and Margaret Warren. In the book "TheWinthrop Woman", which is well researched, there is a cannon-ballpitching contest between Will Hallet and "his opponent - Bigelow, theblacksmith." The contest was held in the Common of "Little Boston", onElection Day in the mid to late 1630's. John Bigelow took oath of fidelity 1652 and was a selectman in 1665, 1670and 1671. He became a Freeman 18 April 1690. His occupation wasblacksmith, which we find from town records, "Agreed with John Biglo thatfor ten trees the towne allowed him for the setting up of a shop for aSmithes forge, that he shall eighter go on with his promise of setting uphis trade, which is the trade of a Smith, within one twelfmonth after thedate hereof or else to pay unto the towne ten shillings for these tentrees he acknowledged to have off the towne." Dated 4 March 1651. Hishomesite consisted of six acres and was bounded north by Richard Amblerand William Parker, east by Thomas Straight, south by the highway and onthe west by Miles Ives. John's wife Mary died Oct. 19, 1691, and he married again on Oct. 2,1694, to Sarah, the daughter of Joseph Bemis of Watertown. John died 14July 1703. His will of 4 Jan. of that year was probated July 28, 1704. | BIGELOW, John (I21687)

| 277 | The Rev. Jacob Chapman in his genealogy on page 14 says: "There has been a tradition that the father of the Folsom family was, inEngland, John Smith, and that his name was changed during the voyage toAmerica. I find little ground for this opinion. John Foulsham, son of Adam, was baptized in Hingham, England, in 1615.(Research in the records of Hingham and in near-by towns, in 1927, failedto disclose a birth or baptism record.) In 1627 Adam Folsham, aliasSmith, made his will, naming three sons,--John, Adam and Peter. JohnFoulsham married, in Hingham, England, October 4, 1636, Mary, daughter ofEdward Gilman, who was baptized August 6, 1615. (Marriage record: JohnFowlsham alias Smith married 4 October 1636, Marie Gyleman.) In 1638 they came to Hingham, Mass. and in 1639 Adam Foulsham followedthem. If the family name was ever Smith, it seems it must have beenchanged before the birth and baptism of John Foulsham, the emigrant toHingham, Mass." However, in 1672 there is a deed signed by John Foulsham, recorded inVol. II, p. 287, Rockingham County Deeds, in which property is conveyedby John Foulsham to his daughter, which begins thus: "Whereas there is anIntent of marriage between George March, son of Hugh March of Newbery andMary Foulsham, daughter of John Foulsham alias Smith, of Exeter, . . ."(Deed in full in No. 7). This appears to confirm that John used the nameSmith at some time prior to this deed. The late Col. Charles E. Banks, well-known historian and genealogist,explained the term "alias" thus: "Alias" was used as a distinguishingterm not to conceal one's identity, but to make sure of that person'sidentity, when, for instance, grandchildren went to live withgrandparents and became known by the grandparent's name, or often calledby their surname. In maturity they took their legal surname and added toit the alias, or name they were sometimes called. The alias or both nameswere given to make doubly sure of the person's identity. | FOULSHAM, John (I25274)

| 278 | The settlement of Roxbury, Massachusett Bay Colony began in 1630 and theearliest records are dated 1639. An entry about 1641 is entitled "A noteof the estates and persons of the Inhabitants of Rocksbury" and lists,among others, Wm Cheiney with 24 1/2 acres. May 23, 1666, he was made a "freeman of the Colony," which made himeligible to hold colonial office and capable of voting on mattersrelating to the general government. He did not live long enough to takefull advantage of being made a freeman as he fell ill in the spring of1666/67 and died on 30 June 1667. The town clerk made this last entry forWilliam Cheney: "William Cheney aged 63 years died June the 30 day, 1667"and the minister recorded his burial in the church book: "1667, Moneth 5day 2 William Cheany sen." (This was in the time when the old calendarwas in use and the first month of the year was March, thus the 5th monthwas July.) | CHENEY, William (I13750)

| 279 | The smallpox epidemic hit the Cariboo in 1861/62 and after that HOB married and Caroline was the name he gave to his bride. She was an Indian Princess and the daughter of Chief Pasha. Her Indian name was was Quilinick. (The name Quilinick, Nana's spelling, is probably a phonetic spelling of the name. It is spelled differently in various sources e.g. in the 1881 BC census it is spelled Colenuk, in the 1891 census it is Calenick and Rhonda Alphonse spells it Kulinkia.) Source: Kirkpatrick Gold, Feb 23/92 ----------------------------------------- Source: Kirkpatrick newsletter dated January 2004 (The April 2004 newsletter gives the author as being "Tanya.") From: "Redwaterwoman" To: "Bowe's online History" Story of Quilinick This was told to me by my mother Marcella, it was told to her by an Elder from Esketemc {Alkali Lake Indian Band}. In the summer when the fish were running up the Fraser River near Little Dog Creek, Quilinck was a young baby, playing near the river. Her mother and a few grandmothers were busy fishing and tending to the fish. When they realized Quilinick had fell into the river. All panicked and tried their best to get her back, but she was swept down the river by the fast moving current. The ladies had thought that they would never see her again, they decided to stand in a circle and call on the grandmothers and grandfathers for help. A white swan was said to circle the ladies and fly down the river, the ladies followed the swan that flew overhead. The swan swooped down out of the ladies sight and was never seen again. The ladies kept on going till they came over a small hill, to where the swan had swooped down, and there was Quilinck sitting on the bank, all wet but safe and sound, with four white feathers spread out around her. [Dawn's note: Interestingly, the white swan shows up in Kirkpatrick history, too, though it is a symbol of an impending death with them.] | PASHO* (BELLEAU?), Caroline (Quilinick) (I99)

| 280 | The will of Richard Whitehead indicates that Mary "Lewes" was hisstepdaughter ("my daughter in law") and appears to be, with his wife, hisprincipal heir. Whitehead's will also mentions that 100 pounds due to hiswife Mary "while she was sole and unmarried, which money was entrustedwith my brother in law Hugh Hopkins and, by him, by and with the consentof my said wife and daughter, delivered unto me for the use of my saiddaughter, etc." . This seems to indicate that wife Mary had a brother or brother-in-lawHugh Hopkins, perhaps the brother of her deceased husband WilliamHopkins, and that she had a daughter Mary who had married a man named"Lewes" (or Lewis). From these scant clues, we believe that this is thewife and the daughter of William Hopkins. | ANDREWS, Mary (I30833)

| 281 | There were four Thomas Clark's in Ipswich. Three were made freemen, 1646,1652, 1674. Three signed the protest in 1666 against the treatment of theKing's Commissioners in Boston, being called Sr., Jr., and 3d. The mostlikely father of Samuel was Thomas the tanner. Thomas the tanner, or Sgt. Thomas Sen. and his sons had the tanyard atthe foot of Summer St. for some 60 yrs. His wife's family name is notknown, but she may be Mary Sherman, daughter of Samuel Sherman. Three ofhis sons lived on his land there: John, Sgt. Thomas and Freeman.Nathaniel and Jonathan lived at Newbury. Samuel, Josiah, Jonathan andFreeman were at Portsmouth. Thomas had liberty to "sett down Tan fattsat the end of his planting lot, upon two rods reserved by the River" in1640-1. The precise location of that tannery has been searched for, butnot found. It is supected that the location of the tanyard was on thecorner of Water and Summer Streets, and the vats on the river bank. In 1682 Thomas tried to arrange with Freeman for life support of himselfand wife Mary; two years later he changed the arrangements to John. Hedied 9 Jan. 1689-90, and his wife died 27 weeks later. Other Thomas Clark's in Ipswich were: 1. Thomas the tailor, son of Sgt. Thomas 2. Thomas the cooper, whose daughter married George Hiskett on June 11,1662. | CLARKE, Thomas (I30416)

| 284 | Thomas (*) Rose is supposed to have arrived at Plymouth Colony via St.Kitts about 1648 or before bringing several children. Savage calls himThomas and says it was probably he who died August 1658 at Ipswich,Massachusetts. Thomas had a brother, Joseph, who married Elizabeth Bumpusand lived in Marshfield, Massachusetts. (*) Note: On the use of given name Thomas, the "Parkhurst Manuscripts:Early Families of New London and Vicinity, Vol. 22 P-R" note that"Thomas" Rose is only a supposition. Most genealogists agree that thefirst name of Immigrant Ancestor Rose is unknown, although since the nameThomas was repeated down into future generations, it might be Thomas.Neither is there any known relationship with Daniel Rose of Wethersfield,Conn., Robert Rose of Mass, or the Rose's of Long Island. | ROSE, Thomas (I25042)
