| 15 | According to "History of Newton": Joseph, and of John Davenport and grandson of Thomas Davenport, born August 30, 1701, was a clothier, and settled about 1731 at Newton Lower Falls, on the right side of the road leading to Upper Falls, where he died March 12, 1752. His wife was Sarah Ware, daughter of Ebenezer Ware, of Needham. | Davenport, Joseph (I532)
|
| 16 | According to a genealogy done by his great great grandson August Leberegt Statius Muller, Franciscus Muller name was von Statius. He was supposed to be the infant son in a royal family living in a castle in Oost-Friesland near Esens in what is now part of Germany and born about 1500. He was reportedly the only survivor in his family of a great flood. He was found asleep in his cradle by a local miller who raised him. To honor the miller von Statius changed his name to Statius Muller. No one knows where this story came from but it is not true. Instead, Franciscus Muller was a Lutheran pastor who followed in the footsteps of his father in [COLOR:31,73,125,255,255,255]Börry[:COLOR], Germany. | Muller, Franciscus (I588)
|
| 17 | According to Alice Ayer Williams and Clementine Ayer Morse he was the younger son of the Earl of Carmarthen. I have not been able to prove this. He came to America and settled in Richmond, VA. He was in the shipping business between Canada and Liverpool (his wife wrote a poem while sailing from St Johns, New Brunswick and Liverpool). He was also involved in shipping to China and other eastern ports. Most of the beautiful and valuable things that he collected during his travels were lost when Richmond was burned during the Civil War. During the war he and his family moved to Washington because he was a Union man. At the time of his daughter Jennie's wedding they were living at 302 13th St in Washington. His son, Samuel, said (in his 1904 Civil War Pension application) that there were nine children of which four were still alive. | James, William (I547)
|
| 18 | According to Alice Ayer Williams and Clementine Ayer Morse he would have become the Earl of Carmarthen had the family stayed in England. He fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. He enlisted and was discharged in Washington, DC in 1st NY Artillery as a 1st Lt. in 1862. He was captured and held prisoner in Libby Prison. From there he was able to escape and find his way home. After the war he lived in Ashland and Richmond for a few years until about 1876 when he moved to Schenectady, NY. When he enlisted he described himself as 5' 7'', complexion medium, and dark brown eyes and hair. In 1904, he described himself as 5' 7", 235 lb., dark brown eyes, and gray balding hair. He had several scars and a stiff toe wounded by a bullet. | James, Samuel Reginald (I549)
|
| 19 | According to Alice Williams: He first served in the battle of Concord, April 19, 1775, as a private in Capt. Ammiet Fuller's Company from West Newton. In May 1775, he enlisted for eight months in Capt. Phienoss Cook's Company, Col. Gardner's Reg't., receiving a bounty cost for this service. He enlisted a third time, March 1st, 1777 in Capt. E. Smith's Company, Col. Smith's Regt. Mass. Continental troops serving until July 1st 1790. He was with Gen'l. Gates at the surrender of Gen'l. Burgoyne, Oct. 17, 1777. Joseph Davenport appears as a private in Capt. Cook's Company. Joseph Davenport appears with rank of Corporal in Continental Army Pay Accounte of Capt. K. Smith's Company, Col. Smith's Regt. for services from March 1, 1777 to July 1, 1780 - credited to the Town of Newton. | Davenport, Josiah (I1234)
|
| 20 | According to Anderson, he "became the celebrated minister of Chebacco Parish In Ipswich, and author of two important tracts, The Churches Quarrel Espoused (1715) and A vindication of the Government of New England Churches (1717)." | Wise, Rev. John (I2530)
|
| 21 | According to Anderson, he "should have been born no later than the second decade of the sixteenth century and died before the compilation of the 1568 subsidy list." | Hunting (I2309)
|
| 22 | According to Bigelow Genealogy, he "is said to have died in Spain, but we find no date of death." | Bigelow, David (I2031)
|
| 23 | According to Bigelow Genealogy, he: "was in the public service and was injured by being thrown from a horse". | Bigelow, Benjamin (I2027)
|
| 24 | According to Bigelow Genealogy: "He was a carpenter by trade. His father sold him a piece of land in Weston, Oct. 7, 1717. He lived in Weston a short time and then moved to Worcester where he lived for a time, and it is supposed that he lived a while in Newton, and in 1740 he is found to be living in Waltham. We find but few of his children's births recorded, the most of them being from the church records. We have no date of his death or of the death of his wife, but tradition says that he died in Cuba." | Bigelow, Ebenezer (I2001)
|
| 25 | According to Bigelow Genealogy: "He was a soldier in King Phillip's War in Capt. Ting's company and was wounded, and in consideration of his services in that war the General Court gave him a grant of land in Narragansett No. 2. He lived in Watertown the most of his life and his children were born in that town, and when his father died he was appointed executor of the will with his brother-inlaw Isaac Learned, and was a well known citizen in Watertown; but late in life (his 87th year) , being anxious to reside on the land that he had earned at the peril of his life, removed from Watertown (in company with his son Eleizer) to the grant of land in Narragansett No. 2, now Westminster, making the journey June 9, 174;i, where he spent the last years of his life, and died Feb. 1, 1745, in the 90th year of his age, and was the first adult who died in the new town. He had a large family of children, but one of whom lived in Westminster." | Bigelow, Jashua (I2017)
|
| 26 | According to Bigelow Genealogy: "We find no record of his birth, but family traditions say that Jabez settled in Bristol, England, and had a large number of descendants, and he was engaged in mercantile business, but we fail to find any records to corroborate the tradition." | Bigelow, Jabez (I2028)
|
| 27 | According to Crane, he "removed to Worcester at the time of the third and successful attempt to settle in 1718 and was very prominent among the early settlers." | Flagg, Benjamin (I2242)
|
| 28 | According to Crane, he settle in Watertown and was "one of the first proprietors of the attempted settlement of Worcester in 1674, served in King Philip's war." | Flagg, Michael (I2052)
|
| 29 | According to Crane, he was a "soldier on guard at Lancaster in King Philip's war and killed by the Indians in the massacre August 22, 1675." | Flagg, William (I2378)
|
| 30 | According to Crane: Gershom was a tanner, removed to Woburn about 1668, held a commission as lieutenant in King William's war and was killed by the Indians in a skirmish at Wheelwright's pond, Lee, New Hampshire, July 6, 1690; | Flagg, Lieut. Gershom (I2236)
|
| 31 | According to family tradition he came from Glamorganshire, Wales. He was one of the first settlers of Newbury, MA about 1633. He was then one of the first founders of Haverhill, MA. | Williams, John (I620)
|
| 32 | According to Harry Warren, he died in a railroad accident. | James, Clemens R. (I551)
|
| 33 | According to her cousins Clementine and Alice her name was Christine but she was called May. However, she also went by Emma according to the 1880 census and her first wedding announcement in 1895. In the 1900 census through the last record of her that I have, her 1908 wedding announcement she went by Christine or Christina. After her second marriage she moved to England where she and her husband raised a family. She may have gone my May after moving to England. Her cousins Julia and Alice and Alice's daughter Angela went to visit her in England in 1926. | Jourgensen, Emma Christine "May" (I1721)
|
| 34 | According to his brother he lived on their father's farm. In 1850 and 1860 it was valued at $6000 and $7000 respectively. He recruited, trained, and was captain of a Company that fought in the Civil War as did his brother Ira. His company was Company K, 116th Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry. He died of disease in camp during the Civil War. Post No 202 of the Grand Army of the Republic (Union veteran's organization) named themselves the James Ayer Post in his honor. His brother Ira was a member. A memorial book by the James Ayer Post to Ira Ayer gave the following description of James Ayer: Captain James Ayer was the youngest brother of Captain Ira Ayer. He was born in what is now the town of Evans, August 14th, 1813, and died in camp at Baton Rouge, La., May 22, 1863. I have heard it stated at various times, though I am not prepared to substantiate the fact from any records, that James Ayer was the first white male child born within the present limits of the town of Evans. His early life, like that of his older brother, developed military ability. When a young man he was Captain and afterwards, by successive promotions, Major, Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel of a Regiment of New York State Militia. He resided all his life in the town and upon the same farm where he was born. As a citizen he was honored and beloved by all. In a long acquaintance with him and with those among whom he resided I never heard other than words of esteem spoken of him as a neighbor, a friend and earnest and exemplary Christian citizen. Like his brother he had been called to pass through great affliction. A short time before he offered his services to his country he buried his wife and was left with two motherless children of tender age to care for. He, however, did not falter in his convictions of duty and receiving authority to recruit a company he soon found himself mustered into the service as Captain of Company "K," One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry. He was an efficient officer and had he lived would undoubtedly have gained promotion, as he had the entire confidence of his superior officers. In the service he exhibited the same spirit of kindness and solicitude for others welfare that had ever been a prominent trait in his life and character and the more intimately the members of his company came to know him the stronger was their attachment to him as a friend and their admiration of him as an officer. A few days before we left Baton Rouge on the Port Hudson campaign, he was taken sick and much against his wish compelled to remain in his tent, not wishing to go to the hospital. ... His symptoms, however, grew more alarming. He was taken with fever, followed by inflammation of the bowels and at 5 P.M. of May 22nd he passed away. ... After the war had ceased his remains were removed from Southern soil and placed by the side of his beloved wife in the town where he was born. | Ayer, James Jr. (I434)
|
| 35 | According to Hoyt he was of Salisbury and was probably from Suffolk Co., England. He received land in the first division of 1640 and 1641 and received more land in 1654. He was listed as a commoner and taxed in 1650 and 1652. He signed a petition in 1658. The will of Nicholas Stanton of Ipswich, Suffolk Co., England in 1648 mentions Joseph Moyce of Salisbury. In 1648 in Haverhill, MA there was a reference to "Goodman Moyce and his three sons" although Hoyt only had records of his daughters. | Moyce, Joseph (I768)
|
| 36 | According to Hoyt her name may have been Folcard. | Hannah (I769)
|
| 37 | According to Ira Ayer, his nephew, he went to sea at an early age and "after years he was captain of a vessel, was cast away and remained on a masthead three days." At the time of his marriage, the births of his children, and his death, the Haverhill Vital Records referred to him as both Capt. Low Bradley and Caleb Low Bradley. | Bradley, Caleb Low (I652)
|
| 38 | According to Jacobus and Waterman in "Hale, House and Related Families", 1952, Thomas was probably the father of Richard. He was from Woodford in Northampton, England. Thomas was named as a witness for five other people. | Totehyll, Richard (I2372)
|
| 39 | According to NEHGR: "After inheriting the homestead at his mother's death, according to his father's will, he removed to Milton, where his name first appears on the tax list in 1707. In Milton he lived in the old farm house still standing (as of 1867) on the Isaac Davenport estate, who inherited the Homestead. His will is in the Suffolk Co. probate office." | Davenport, John (I531)
|
| 40 | According to NEHGR: "Charles was ensign, and held many town offices; was selectman most of the time from 1700 to 1714. His homestead on Washington Street was on the south side of Mt. Bowdoin. His inventory amounted to £2700. | Davenport, Charles (I1990)
|
| 41 | According to NEHGR: "His wife Naomi is supposed to have been the Naomi daughter of Timothy Foster, of Dorchester, who was born Feb. 11, 1668, at Dorchester." | Foster, Naomi (I1973)
|
| 42 | According to NEHGR: "Thomas Davenport of Dorchester, first appears on any of its records as member of its church, Nov. 20, 1640; his wife Mary joining March 8, 1644." "He was made a freeman, May 18, 1642, and constable 1670. He probably lived on the eastern slope of Mt. Bowdoin, near the corner of Bowdoin Street and Union Ave. He bought house and lands of William Pigrom, Nov. 25, 1653, and of William Blake, Feb. 5, 1665. He made his will, July 24, 1683, 'being aged,' leaving the homestead to his youngest son John, after his widow's death." "His inventory amounted to £332 16 8." | Davenport, Thomas (I530)
|
| 43 | According to Old Families of Curacao, he "died in the internment camp at Tjimahi in Indonesia on 26 April 1945. His grave stone says he was loved under supervision the Japanese director. He was head engineer on Sumatra's East coast and member of the state Mobilization Council." | Statius Muller, George August Laan (I1732)
|
| 44 | According to Pierce, he "was a weaver; res. in Worcester for a time until driven away by Indians." | Atwood, Philip (I2489)
|
| 45 | According to Pierce, Timothy moved to Dorchester just before getting married, still keeping some of his property in Scituate. | Foster, Sergt. Timothy (I2461)
|
| 46 | According to Samuel James' pension application, Jane had 9 children, 4 of whom were still alive in 1904 (Samuel, Jennie, Hannah, and Emma). During the Civil War she helped the wounded and dying in hospitals. She often wrote letters to the families of the soldiers that died. She is mentioned in the biography of her son-in-law Ira Ayer, II because after writing a letter to the family of a soldier from Ira's regiment Ira came to thank her. This is when Ira and Jennie met. According to Alice Ayer Williams and Clementine Ayer Morse she is one of the few woman mentioned in "Deeds of the Civil War" (this book may have been "Martial Deed of Pennsylvania). She crossed the Atlantic 24 four times and Jennie was born on one of those trips. Below is a poem she wrote during a particularly rough passage. The ship was traveling from New Brunswick to Liverpool when it encountered a terrible storm. STANSAS Written on board the "Lillies" on a passage from St John NB for Liverpool In the "Lilies" from the port of "St John" we set sail. Towed out by the steam boat, with a southerly gale, Around the bluff headlands where the winds wildly blow Away! far away! to the Eastward we'll go II Three cheers 'from the gallant ship soon rose on high And rang through the vapour that obscured the sky, But twill soon clear away and Norwesters will blow Bound away to the East ward in the "Lillies" we'll go, III Night soon came on and the winds wilder blew We stood by and up our top gallants did clew While the tempest tossed ship lay rolling to and fro Bound away to the East ward in the "Lillies" we go IIII We beat down the bay for two days or more Till the winds drove us down on the bold Yarmouth shore Our foresail to pieces while we "ware ship" is rent But another good sail in it's place soon is bent, V The wild "Petite "passage" lay under our lee Either we must run through it or lost we shall be Either we must run through it from the frost and the snow Or away to the Eastward we never shall go VI So now then Lay aft-every soul of our crew Stand by your "Clewgarnets" your mainsail up Clew Jump start your main Jack and let your wheel flow And flying away to the passage we go. VII We near it hope in each sailors heart now beats high Alternately "luff" and "Keep away" is the cry We clear it. We fly from the frost & the snow. And in triumph away to the Eastward we go. VIII But still there Cape Sable looms out on our lee Board your main tack and we'll stand out to sea And now let the west winds more wildly blow For before them in triumph to the Eastward we go IX Still wilder and wilder the good west wind blows Think our good starboard anchor is adrift from the boat And our boatswain washed away with a wild [Gyfar - may be Gybe or Jibe] Still away far away far away to the Eastward we go X Our anchors secured we snugged every sail And ran 'fore the fury of that western gale Away from New Brunswick and the [ice] & the snow In the wild Ocean "Lillies" to the Eastward we go We run fore the fury of that western sea Till our bulwarks are stove and life boats washed away But the west wind is Blowing. so let each sheet flow And away! far away! to the East ward we go. Let her ride o'er the foam let her bend to the blast Thirteen knots are counted as each hour is past Blow good wind and we fly from the frost and the snow And in triumph away to the East ward we go But Hark! the ship popps she is struck by the sea Our wheel is all smashed and taffrel rail washed away Our foresail is split [Dump] and up it blew As flying wildly away to the Eastward we go Lay aft with your tackles lay aft all our crew Quick with your helm up before we come to There away she goes off 'fore her deadly foe Like lightning away to the East ward we go These lines are most respectfully dedicated to the Captain & passengers of the ship "Lillies" and will be concluded on arrival in the Mersey. -- Clew-garnet is the tackle used to furl the lower square-sails. -- "Till the bulwarks are stave" means till the bulwarks are broken. -- Taffrel rail or taffrail is the rail around transom of a ship. | Francis, Jane (I548)
