According to the 1910 census she had had 13 children of which 11 were still living. She died a couple months after her husband leaving eight children still at home.

Koons, Mary Alice (I78)

According to the 1910 census she had just come to America to live with her brother Henrique in Brooklyn, was not married and could speech English. She was still living in Venezuela at the time of her brother Henrique's death.

Scholtz, Luisa Teresa (I993)

According to the censuses, her husband was a shoemaker and she was a tayloress.
I don't believe she had any children, at least none that survived.
In Reminiscences, her brother Ira said of her:
In the balance of my writing may be found the names of Sarah Black11 Ira Ayer and family. Mrs. Sarah Black experienced religion soon after the return of her Sister Martha from Hamburg. Sarah had a full benefit of Martha's experience which was a great help to her. Martha told her that faith and repentance was the ground work to build on, though in the days of early youth, she seemed to understand the way, and embraced it as a foundation, to build for her present good and everlasting welfare. Sister Sarah Black proved to be a sister in the church well fitted to fill every place where she could do good. Her seat would be filled at the preaching, her voice would be heard at the prayer meeting; and at the class meeting. She had a good story to tell. Her motto was, it must be done; her exhortation was to her Brethren and Sisters onward. If Meeting House was to be built, or buildings to be repaired, she and her worthy husband Joe Black, also a devoted Christian were always ready to share her portion of the expense and a little more. She is now seventy eight years of age, ready to go when the Master calls.

Ayer, Sarah Bradley (I432)

According to the Essex Antiquarian, he was a farmer and lived in Haverhill until 1679 when he moved to Ipswich. Other historians have different stories.

Ayer, John II (I381)

According to the Wadsworth Family Record, he died about four months before his last child John was born and on his death bed he predicted "Though I die, yet shall my name live forever." He had a son and many more descendants of with the Wadsworth name.

Wadsworth, John (I488)

According to the Wadsworth Family Record, Joseph moved from Duxbury to Lebanon, CT about the year 1702. This fact is established by deeds on record at Plymouth, MA: "In 1703 Samuel, then a resident of Duxbury with Joseph, his brother, then a resident of Lebanon, Ct., sold land in Bridgewater to one Thomas Snell, Plymouth Co." (Vol. 7 p. 56 Plymouth Co. Rec.) This shows Joseph went to CT before Samuel. In 1706 Samuel then a resident of Lebanon in joint deed with his mother, Mary - widow of Joseph, 2nd, sold their interest in Bridgewater land to Elisha Wadsworth - 76 acres for 20 ----. (Plymouth Co. record Vol. 6 p. 91) This establishes the fact that Joseph and Samuel, whose names appear in the Connecticut records of Lebanon, at the time, were descendants of Christopher of Duxbury.

Wadsworth, Joseph Jr. (I482)

According to the Ware Genealogy he was said to have had five wives, one son and six daughters. They were only able to identify four of the wives.

Ware, Ebenezer (I1955)

According to Virkus she was his second wife.

Jane (I621)

According to Ware Genealogy, Robert:
came from his English home to the colony of Massachusetts Bay some time before the autumn of 1642. The earliest date at which the name in any form occurs on the Dedham Records, is Nov. 25, 1642 ; when "Robert Weares is Admitted to the purchase of Thomas Eames his house lott and three acres of land."
A grant of land was made to him "6. 12. 1642," (6 February, 1642-3).
Various other grants were made to him of land in different parts of the town; on Dedham Island, and (in what was afterwards Needham), on Rosemary meadow brook, on the Great Plain, and near Magus Hill, etc. One lot of "three roods and twenty rod, more or lesse," was the second lot east from the N. E. corner of Webster Street and Great Plain Avenue in Needham. The localities mentioned can be found in the "Atlas of Norfolk Co., Mass.", Comstock & Cline, New York, 1876. See also Mann's Annals of
Dedham. Robert Ware joined the church at the time of the baptism of his eldest child, October 2 or 11, 1646. He was made freeman May 26, 1647 ; was member of the Artillery Company in 1644. He lived and died in Dedham, though three of his sons-John, Nathaniel and Robert-removed to Wollomonopoag, set off in 1661, incorporated as Wrentham in 1673. His name stands second in point of wealth on the tax list.
"Robert Ware the Aged" died in Dedham, April 19, 1699. His will, made February 25, 1698, was proved May 11, 1699. The inventory, taken May 3, was £250, 2, 10.

Ware, Robert (I2091)

According to Whittemore he is said to be of Salisbury in 1638, made a freeman in 1639, and is the son of John of Olney in Co. Bucks.

Partridge, William (I766)

According to Wikipedia was a daughter of Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria remembered in 13th century Cumberland as the mother of William fitz Duncan. She is thought to have been the wife Duncan II of Scotland, though very little is known otherwise about her.

-, Ethelreda daughter of Gospatric (I2683)

Ada had no children.

Pierce, Ada Maria (I4031)

Adam fought in the Civil War. He entered the army on November 3, 1862 (13 days after getting married), was discharged August 17, 1863, and died two years later from the effects of his imprisonment in Libby prison in Richmond, VA.

Learn, Adam (I1204)

Addrian, a member of the Dutch Navy, achieved the rank of Schout-bij-Nacht (literally meaning Watch-at-Night) or Rear Admiral. In 1828 he was named "ridders van den Nederlandschen Leeuw" which means "knight of the Dutch Lion" for saving his ship and crew in a terrible storm.
Tradition says that Adriaan fought for Napoleon during his occupation (1795-1813). This has not been verified but would make sense since Adriaan was 22 at the time of the occupation. It is not likely that he would not enlist until he was 40 when the occupation ended.
From newspaper accounts we see that Adriaan was promoted to Captain Lieut. in 1814, a year after the Netherlands became independent. In 1822 his ship de Arend arrived in Rio de Janero.
His fame came in January of 1827 when he was captain of the 74 gun ship the Waterloo (launched in 1824). He and his crew of 250 were taking 670 troops to Java to quell an uprising. The similar ship Wassenaar was also making the trip. Shortly after leaving port the ships were hit by a terrible winter storm. The Waterloo lost all three masts and its rudder. Using their anchor, they were able to avoid being washed ashore. The Wassenaar was not so lucky. Their anchor line broke and the ship was smashed on the rocks. Most of those aboard were saved. The Waterloo was repaired in England and four months later left for Java with the troops.
In 1828 when the Waterloo returned, Adriaan was named ridders van den Nederlandschen Leeuw" which means "knight of the Dutch Lion" for saving the ship and those aboard. While this is not an military honor, it is the second highest honor that a military man can achieve.
Again from newspaper accounts we see that in 1832 he was captain of the 44 gun Algiers. Someone else was captain of the Waterloo. In 1838 he was promoted to Schout-bij-Nacht or Rear Admiral.

van Daalen, Adriaan (I1566)

Adriaan was assisted by his uncle and guardian Pieter van Daalen. Lijsbet was assisted by her father IJsbrant Luijt. They were both assessed in the 4th class and, therefore, had to pay 3 guilders each.

After her husband died she became ruler of Mercia from 911 through 918.

-, Æthelflæd (I2749)

After her second husband William B Kneebone 1900 she applied for a Civil War pension by her marriage to Ira Ayer in 1908 but was denied because she had re-married.

Cronkite, Bessie E (I437)

After her second husband, John Fay, died she was left with 14 children, 7 of hers by Joseph Morse, 4 of hers by John Fay and 3 of John Fay's by his first wife.

Shattuck, Susanna (I2212)

After she got married she moved to Cuba coming back for the birth of her first two children. Her second child, Jane, developed a curvature of the spine while a small child and Alice felt it was because of the milk in Cuba. She convinced her husband to move permanently back to the U.S. about 1904. Her death certificate says she was born in Richmond (Ashland is a suburb).

At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld.

Living (I1677)

All genealogies show her being born in England and there was a Sarah who came with her parents on the Planter. However, we can be very confidant that our Sarah died in 1732 at the age of 85 (in her 86th year). That would put her birth at about 1646 a full 13 years younger than the Sarah on the Planter. It is likely that the Sarah from the Planter died and John and Joan had another child named Sarah while living in Ipswich. This works well with her marriage age. Sarah married Simon Tuttle in 1663 and had 13 children. This is a little unlikely for someone born in 1633.
The following obituary is almost definitely our Sarah. It's from the Weekly Rehearsal, 31 January 1732:
Ipfwich, January 14
Died here, Mrs. Sarah Tuttle in the 86th Year of her Age. A gentle woman of a vertuous and pious Character; and what may deferve this Pumblic mention, was blesft with a very numerous Offspring. She had Thirteen Children, and by Seven of them only, One Hundred & Seventy seven Grandchildren and great Grandchildren.

Cogswell, Sarah (I828)

All his brothers and sisters were listed in the 1850 census. He was not but there was a Lynford Kresge living nearby in Hamilton Township that was 21 years old and a Laborer. He was living in a house with several people of different last names. The was probably the same Linford Kresge who had moved out of his home and moved into a boarding house. On September 28, 1863 he was drafted into three years service for the Civil War. At that time he was described as being 34 years of age, 5' 5", complexions dark, eyes gray, hair sandy, born in PA, and a farmer. On October 30, he reported for duty and was given a furlough for ten days so he could raise $300. $300 was the standard amount to buy your way out of service. He never returned and was arrested in his home town October 19, 1864. His Civil War records give no reason why he deserted, however, his fourth child, Ezra, was born between the time he was drafted and when he reported. His other three children were 8, 5, and 2. He was Court Martialed in Philadelphia, found guilty, and sentenced to one year hard labor with a loss of all pay. After the sentence he was to serve his three year term at the front. On January 5, 1865 he started his sentence at Ft Whipple, VA and was assigned to build up the fortifications of Washington. Between February 16 and June 15, 1865 he was at Fort Delaware. He and 26 other prisoners signed a petition for a pardon and sent it to President Lincoln. In return for the pardon they said they would serve at the front. President Lincoln is known to have had a soft spot for pardoning deserters and according to Linford "he pardoned us but in the mean time he was shot and died. President Johnson sent for me and I went to Washington and he gave me my discharge." His sentence was remitted on June 10 by General Order 294 of the War Department and went to Washington on June 16. Lee surrendered Linford was mustered out with an honorable discharge on July 6, 1865. In 1884 he got a hernia from lifting heavy logs and in 1889 he was working on building public roads and was not always able to work because he had back problems (lumbago). He also complained of Rheumatism in his arms and legs. Based on a 1890 pension law for Civil War veterans he applied for a pension several times from 1890 through 1906 but was denied each time because he had not served the minimum 90 days. In 1905 he was living at 515 Allen St, Allentown, PA.

Anderson is fairly confident that this is the father of the Margaret that William Hunting married. The evidence includes the fact that a William Hunting married a Margaret Randolfe at Topcroft in Norfolk and 27 September 1599 and the parish register lists no children. They could have moved back to Palgrave. Also, in William "Randoll"'s will dated May 12, 1607 and proved January 7, 1608/9, according to Anderson:
[William] bequeathed £5 to "Margaret my daughter," a sum to be paid by his son William.

Randolf, William (I2284)
