| 901 | It is thought that the Ealhmund mentioned as King of Kent in 784 is the same Ealhmund mentioned in the Wessex genealogy. He was not likely king by 785. | -, Ealhmund of Kent King of Kent (I2872)

| 902 | It was Humphrey's will dated 28 May 1646 and proved 10 July 1646 that identifed the family by refering to brothers Arthur, John and Henry and sister Margaret, wife of Richard Phillips of Fenstanton. | Howland, Humphre (I3921)
|
| 903 | It's likely that her marriage to George Diblin was his 2nd marriage and sometime after 1930 when she was still unmarried after her parent's deaths. | Williams, Alice Estelle (I1696)

| 904 | It's not clear if he had any surviving children. | McGuckin, Marvin H (I4082)

| 905 | It's not clear if they got married in England or in Massachusetts. From "Historic New England": "Robert Pierce and Ann Grenway settled in Dorchester in the first wave of seventeenth-century emigration from England to America, but the circumstances of their arrival are ambiguous. Family legend weaves a tale of a shipboard romance between them on the “Mary and John,” a vessel in John Winthrop’s Massachusetts Bay Colony fleet, but the passenger list for that 1630 voyage does not include a Robert Pierce. John Grenway, a millwright, his wife Mary, and their daughter Ann, however, were passengers on the “Mary and John,” and the Grenways became active residents of the fledgling town." | Family F800

| 906 | It's not clear that Julia's father was John Wadsworth. She was born in Massachusetts a year before her parents got married. John was born in New York where he lived all his life. | Wadsworth, Julia Mariah (I436)
|
| 907 | It's not clear who the mother of each of William's chldren is. We know that William married Jane Cowper in England in 1632. We also know from his will that when he died in 1670 his wife's name was Rachel. Also in his will he said, "will is yt all my moveables be at my wives dispose for the comfort of her life & at her death to be given unto her children." That implies that at least two his his surviving three children were Rachel's. If so, that would imply his daughter Rachel was from Rachel. However, it has been pointed out that the assumed birthdate for daughter Rachel may not have been 1640. Her younges daughter was born in 1653. She would have been around 13. [CIT:]370;[:CIT] has suggested that Rachel was born in England prior to William moving to New England. That would almost definately make Rachel the daughter of Jane. I believe the first name is too much of a coincidence so Rachel is likely the daughter of Rachel. We will likely never know for sure. From Pierce: WILLIAM BACHELDER, b. Berks Co., England, 1597; m. in Standford Dingley, Berks Co., England, Oct. 1632, Jane Cowper m. 2d, Rachel ; b. 1603; d. May 28, 1676. Henry Arthur, late of Standford Dingley, in Co. Berks, gent., complains that about August, 1630, took into his service Jane Cowper, spinster, agreeing to pay her 40s. a year, although she was so sickly that the other servants were compelled to do almost all her work. Afterwards her aunt, Katherine Smyth, who then lived in the house where pit. dwells, left her a legacy of £20. After a great deal of trouble pit. got the money for her and in return she lent it to him for a year, and pit. returned it to her and her husband, William Batcheler, except a small sum, which pit. kept back for her food "as she was somethinge fyne in her dyett" when she was living at her own request in pits, house after she received the said legacy. The answers of William Bacheler and Jane, his wife. The sd Jane says that pit. borrowed £4 of her, and that she in her turn borrowed 40s. of Margery Pryne, dau. of Mrs. Prine. She was persuaded by pits, landlord, Ric. Smith, to lend the said £20 to pit. The said William Batchelor says that he married the said Jane Cowper in October, 1632, and afterwards demanded the sd money of pit. , who only repaid part of it. He was born in England and married his first wife in Standford Dingley, Berks Co., England: was admitted an inhabitant to Charlestown in 1634; was a victualler and admitted to the church Nov. 10. 1634. His will is dated Feb. 12, 1669. Devises to his widow the house R. Austin lives in during life; then to daus. Atwood and Austin; to Joseph the other house and 1 common; to dau. Abigail one common.

| 930 | It’s not clear when Filippo joined the Army but on 28 August 1882 Filippo was made a Lieutenant in the Artillery. The Artillery was a branch of the Army formed in 1860 during the unification of Italy. By 1884 he was attached to the 16th Reggimento D'Artiglieria da Frotrezza stationed in Mantova about half way between Milan and Venice. By 1887 he had moved to Reggimento D'Artiglieria da Campagna stationed in Vigevano about 15 miles southwest of Milan. Filippo was promoted to Captain of Artillery on 14 April 1887. By 1897 he had moved out of active duty to teaching in the Artillery Department at the Military Academy (Accademia Militare) in Turin. Filippo stayed at the Military Academy until retirement around 1905 when he became part a reserve officer for the Artillery. Just before retiring he was promoted to Major. He remained a major in the reserves at least until 1910. While in the Military Academy he wrote at least 2 publications. The first was published in 1894 and written along with Alfredo Casella called "On keeping equipment in good repair among field-artillery regiments" (“Circa la conservazione del Materiale nei reggimenti d'artiglieria da Campagna Roma”). The second was published in 1895 and called "Oligarchy in the Army: Reply to the Pamphlet Entitled, 'Inconvenient Truths Concerning Italian Military Regulations'" (“L'oligarchia nell'esercito : risposta all'opuscolo Verità ingrate sull'ordinamento militare italiano”). | Annibali, Filippo Edoardo G (I346)

| 932 | Jane called Sarah her only sister. After her husband died, she ran a boarding school for girls with her three daughters at 12 Victoria Place in Newport. In 1871 she had 16 girls living in the school. After she died, her daughters continued to run the school. In 1881 there were 10 girls living in the school. When Sarah died her estate worth £600 was split up between her three "spinster" daughters. By 1891 her middle daughter, Mary had married and become widowed. The three sisters spent the rest of their lives living together on the estate of Mary's deceased husband. Since none of her daughters had children, the family line ended with them. | Francis, Sarah (I3353)

| 934 | Joanna’s second husband John Tuttle became disillusioned with New England and moved to Ireland around 1651. Joanna followed him around 1654. Before she left she rented out the family home and farm to Richard Shatswell. She put her son-in-law, George Gidding (married to her daughter Jane Lawrence) and Joseph Jewett in charge of her assets while she was gone. The lease said (at the time of the agreement, the New Year fell on March 23 each year so it was dated 5 days before 1654): Agreement, dated Mar. 18, 1653-4, between Mrs. Joanna Tuttell and Richard Shatswell, (signature) for her house and land at Ipswich, the said Joanna Tuttell being attorney to her husband, Mr. John Tuttell, now living in Ireland: That from the fourteenth day of the present month, said Shatswell should for two years enjoy the dwelling house, barns, orchard and outhouses of said Tuttell; also all her meadow, marsh and broken up ground within the common fence, paying to said Joanna at her now dwelling house in Ipswich, 241i. per year in corn, at each year's end; also two ---- and one cow, all of which should be in good condition at the expiration of the time etc. There were also two plow chains and a share and colter, two yoke's and half a harrow of which said Shatswell was to have the use. In March of 1659, Joanna’s son Simon was sued by a John Hasletine for stealing a mare and colt (interestingly, Hasletine’s attorney was Joseph Jewett). Even though just about all the evidence was for Simon, the jury found in favor of Hasletine. In September of that year, Simon sued Hasletine for stealing the same horse and mare submitting even more evidence and this time the jury found for Simon. Between the two trials, three letters from Joanna were submitted. They were sent to her daughter Jane and her husband George Gidding. They paint a grim picture of the family and business dealings that Joanna was going through. The first letter was sent to her daughter Jane in October 1656, 2 ½ years after the lease and before her husband John died, shows that she was having issues with Shatswell and her family. After several niceties, she asks Jane to ask her husband to look into Richard Shatswell who has not paid rent. At this point he owes £48 in corn. She also asks to check in on the mare (Simon’s mare) who is with Joanna’s son-in-law (by Marie Lawrence) Thomas Burnham. Joanna is very upset with Simon for cheating his father. Apparently they were involved in trade with Barbados and Simon seems to have traveled there. Simon never paid his father, his part of the business. The only other Tuttle son seems to be no better. Joanne tells Jane that Jane has many sons and Joanne hopes that Jane’s sons comfort her and are not “such afflictions as ours are”. Here is the letter: "To my Deare & Louing Daughter Jane Gidding att Ipswich, in New England These: Dauter Jane hauing an oportunity I could nott omit to let you understand that we are all in good health blessed be god. I hop you Receaved my last dated in february wherein I wright largely which now I shall omit god hath dealt graecously with me and fred me of the troubles of the world the lord give me grace now to spend the litell time I haue to liue more to his glory the letter I Receaved from you I lay by me as a cordiall which I often Refresh myselfe with. If you know how much it Rejoyced me to hear from you you would nott omite I pray lett me hear how your breach is made up in Respect of the ministrey which I long to hear if you haue Mr Cobete I pray present my loue to him and tell him I liue under a very honst man wher I injoy the ordinances of god In new england way we want nothing but more good company the lord increase the number. Jaen I pray intreat your husband to looke to oure besines I hear Richard Schwell hath paid noe Rent I pray speake to him and get it 48 li send me word what increase ther is of oure mare and whether Thomas Burnam have groncelled the house ore not simon deals very bad with his father he lies at Barbados and sends noe Retorns butt spends all, his father will have no mor goods sent to him. I could wish I had no such cause to writ I thinke he and John intends to undoe ther father. Jane you haue many sons the lord blese them & make them comforts to you & nott such aflictions as ours are I haue done only my dear and harty loue to your hussband & selfe and children I leav you to the lord how is abell to keep and preserve you to his heauenly kingdom which is the prayer of your dear and louing mother Joanna Tuttell. Carrickfergus, Oct. the 3d, 56 my deare love to you yor husband and yors J. T. The second letter to Jane and her husband, dated April of 1657 starts out by informing them the Joanna’s husband (Jane’s stepfather) John Tuttle died last December. He had never been sick until shortly before he died. Joanna was left “disolat In a strang land and in dept by Reson of Simons keeping the Returnes from barbadous”. So, with no rent and no income from her son Simon, Joanna found herself in debt. Joanna speculates that the grief that her husband felt from his two sons, Simon and John may have contributed to his death. The rent is way behind and she is concerned about the condition of her cattle. She will write to one of her other sons, John Lawrence for help. Joanne is also concerned about the state of her house. If Simon or John come, Jane should “let nott them meddell with anything there”. They will get part of the estate. Joanna talks of her daughter Hannah who is about to get married to “a good husband one that lous well and a hansom man”. Joanna likes Ireland because there is never frost or snow and never too hot. Here is the second letter: "To her louing son Gorg Giding dwelling In Ips in New England these: Sone Giding and dauter these are to lett you understand that the lord hath taken to himself my deare husband & left me disolat In a strang land and in dept by Reson of Simans keeping the Returnes from barbadous grife that [he] hath taken for his to sonns hath brought [upon him] a lingring deseas lost his stomuce and pined away never sick tell the day before he died which wos the 30th of December I pray talke [with] Mr Jeuett about that which I left with you & him this 3 yeares.

I like lerland very well we haue nether frost nor snow this winter butt very tempeat weather which agrees with me well my husbands death went neare the lord give me good of it & make up my losse in him selfe a teach this ----- sharp Rod to submit to the will of my god. that ---- I had need of it I pray Remember me att the throne ---- I should be glad that you would Right to me that I may heare from you. I have not one letter this yeare which I wonder att. Remember me to all yours and to all my friends that aske of me no more att present butt the lord bless you with all sprituall blessings in heavenly things in Christ which is the prayer of your afecinat mother Joanna Tuttell hanna Rem her kind loue to you & all yours Carrackfergus the 6th of Apriell 57. The third letter is addressed to George almost a year later on March 20, 1657 (remember that 1658 does not start until March 23). She is concerned about Mr. Jewett who is supposed to manage her estate. She says, “I heare he imporues my estate to his one (own) advantage”. He owes £12 to be paid to her son-in-law, Richard Martin in goods but gave Martin “nothing butt beefe that none ellse would take”. The rent farm is now four years behind (almost £100 in corn) and almost another £100 in debts. Her husband’s cousin John Tuttle has offered to buy the horse. She is waiting for £50 from her son John Lawrence to help pay debts in London. Joanna will soon move because her son-in-law, Hannah’s husband, has been transferred. So, she was obviously forced to live with her daughter because she had no money. Joanna is worried that should she have to move back to New England she will find her home and estate in terrible disrepair. Joanna closes with a warning to not send any goods to Simon who “will bring my gray head with sorrow to the graue (grave) with tears”. Here is the third letter. "These For her beloued sonne Mr George Gidding att Ipswich in New England" ; Carrickfargus, 20 March '57. Sonn Giding I Receaued 2 letters from you and am glad to heare of 'your welfear with yours I wonder I heare nothing from Mr. Juete I heare he improues my estaet to his one advantag I praid him to pay my son martin 12li in good goods and he lett him haue nothing butt beefe that none ellse would take I pray you to take care of my estat att Ips and lett nott him do what he list butt take a count of what he doth ther is 4 yeres Rent this march which corns to aboue a hundred pound and in depts ninty seauen pound and I heare my cossen John Tuttle would by the horse he will nott lett him without he pay him Englich goods I sent to deliuer goods to my sonn John lawrence to send me 50 li worth of beuar.

Simon won but it’s not clear what Joanna received. The case was filled with huge disagreements. Simon brought witnesses that said that the home and farm were in terrible condition when Shatswell moved out. Also, the one time Shatswell paid his £24 in Indian corn, the corn was rotten. The £97 in expense mentioned in the above letter were probably for repairs done after Shatswell left. The oven was said to have been a total loss, there were two broken windows, the barn was in ruins and require 300 feet of boards for repair and fences needed mending. There were several other issues. Shatswell produced bills for expenses and work he and others had done totaling over £48 (two years rent). Also, he produced several witnesses that said the estate was in just as good condition when Shatswell left as when he arrived. The fences were all in good repair. It’s not clear how much Shatswell was to pay, how he was to pay it, or whether he ever paid. It’s not known when or where Joanna died, except that she was dead by 1674. | Antrobus, Joanna (I1030)

| 937 | Johannes was born about two years after New Amsterdam surrendered to the British to become New York. Like his father and many other Dutch inhabitants, Johannes became prominent in New York administration. He held many positions. He was elected an assessor, Dock Ward in 1691, 1692 and again in 1693 and was elected assistant for the Dock Ward in 1694 and 1695. Like his older brother before him and his brother-in-law after him Johannes held the position of Mayor of New York. Abraham was the 20th mayor from 1691 to 1694. Johannes was the 23rd mayor from 1698-1699. At that time mayors were appointed, not elected. On 29 September 1698 the governor Lord Bellomont appoint Johannes Mayor. He was sworn in on 14 October. Johannes was Mayor for one year. During that year, there were a lot of changes in New York. Ralph J. Caliendo chronicles those changes in his book "New York City Mayors": "In 1698, a year after New York City citizens submitted a petition to Governor Fletcher for permission to erect an Anglican church, King William III granted the charter, together with a large tract of land in Manhattan, for an annual rent of 'one peppercorn.' The first service in Trinity Church was on March 13." "At midnight on a stormy October night, the bodies of Jacob Leisler and Jacob Milbourne were disinterred for a proper funeral. Their remains were laid in state in the Stadt Huys for two days. Governor Coote permitted the service out of compassion for the families after Parliament issued posthumous pardons." Stadt Huys is Dutch for City Hall. Jacob Leisler was a German born Huguenot colonist who had served as acting Lieutenant Governor of New York. Starting in 1689 he led an insurrection that became known as Leisler's Rebellion. He was able to take control of Southern New York until British troops arrived in 1691. "Pro-Leisler forces in the Dutch Reformed Church consistory now lead the anti-Leisler members six to one. Minister Selyns will be the sole member of the latter for the next year." "The Wall, or what was left was torn down. According to the first census, 4,037 people lived in Manhattan; 2,017 in Kings County (Brooklyn); 3,565 in Queens (including Nassau); 727 in Richmond County (Staten Island); and 1,063 in Westchester. Blacks - free and slaves - comprised about 14 percent of the population." "The city's monopoly of the flour trade is repealed." "On September 6, New York City's mayor is ordered to provide a hospital for the poor. The village of Harlem is give permission to erect one mill. On October 16, a shipyard is established on New York City's East River." Post Mayor, Johannes was elected alderman, East Ward in 1699, 1700 and 1701. There was some controversy for the 1701 election. Thomas Noell, the 26th mayor of New York was an anti-Leislerian where Johannes, like is brother Abraham was a Leislerian. The Leislerian aldermen, six out of eight aldermen, were worried that Noell would refuse to swear them in so they insisted to be sworn in by the retiring mayor, Isaac De Riemer. Many of the Dutch residents of New Amsterdam were Protestants came there to escape religious persecution by the Catholic Church. Twenty-one years after the British took over the new monarch of England James II was a Catholic. In 1688 he was deposed by his niece and nephew William and Mary (Protestants). However, the leaders of New York were still those appointed by James II. Jacob Leisler led his uprising against those leaders. He took control of much of New York. After over a year, troops were sent in and Leisler was arrested and executed. Eventually Parliament pardoned him. Leisler was revered among the Dutch community. That's where the New Yorkers found themselves in 1701. Even though Leisler had been executed, the next several appointed mayors were Laislerians. When the anti-Laislerian Noell was appointed the problems started. "On October 14, 1701, Thomas Noell took the oaths of office before the governor at the fort, then proceeded to the city hall and, having proclaimed his commission, proceeded to swear in the members elect, but all refused to take the oaths except French and Lurting, alleging that they had been sworn in by the retiring mayor Isaac De Riemer. On hearing this, he proceeded to swear in Brandt Schuyler, John Hutchins, and William Morris as aldermen, and Johannes Jansen, Robert White and Jeremiah Tuthill as assistants of the disputed wards. This proceeding caused so great an excitement that Noell was finally compelled to dismiss the assembly, without having sworn in the new city officials." "New York City had remained without a government until November 11, when Noell again proceeded to the city hall to swear in Schuyler, Hutchins, Morris, and their assistants. The Leislerian members were already there in their places as members of the Common Council. Regardless of their protests, the mayor proceeded to swear in their antagonists, when the whole twenty took their seats together, each fully determined to share in the administration of the government. Finding that nothing could be done with so intractable an assembly, Noell ended by dismissing them all for a fortnight and availed himself of the recess to appeal to the Supreme Court, which settled the matter by giving the seats to Schuyler and Hutchins and their assistants of the anti-Leislerians and De Peyster and his assistant of the Leislarian party. The board thus stood equally divided, but the balance of power remained in the hands of the anti-Leislerians, the mayor having the casting vote. The affair occasioned the most intense excitement and was one of the most turbulent elections ever witnessed in the city." Abraham was captain. He was later a lieutenant and by 1700 was a captain.

| 939 | John brought his family over from England and was the first ruling elder of the Dedham church. According to Anderson: John and Hester first lived in Hoxne, where their children Mary and Margaret were baptized. The family next appears in the neighboring parish of Oakley, with baptisms of children in 1631, 1634, and 1636. (Although Hoxne and Oakley are adjacent parishes, they are divided by several jurisdictional boundaries; Hoxne fell within Hoxne Hundred and the archdeaconry of Suffolk, Oakley within Hartismere Hundred and the archdeaconry of Sudbury. The northern boundary of each of these parishes was also the border between Suffolk and Norfolk.) The dominant family in Hartismere Hundred was the Comwallises, staunch Catholics and ancestors of Lord Cornwallis of Yorktown. At Oakley, this family held the advowson (the right to recommend appointments to the pulpit); and in 1628 or 1629, despite their Catholic leanings, they nominated a vigorous Puritan, William Greenhill. The Reverend Greenhill served this living for almost a decade, until silenced in 1638. Perhaps John Hunting was attracted by the preaching of Greenhill, moved from Hoxne to Oakley to benefit from his teaching, and then in 1638—being deprived of this religious nurturing—decided to join the migration to New England. Upon his arrival in the colonies, Hunting wasted little time in settling at Dedham. On 28 August 1638, the town agreed that he could be "enterteyned to purchase John Coolidge his Lott." According to his contemporary, Reverend John Allin: Towards the end of summer we having some experience of Jo. Hunting who came unto us that summer from England & some of us knowing him before & having very good testimony of him from others we agreed to make trial whether he might not be found meet for this work & be willing thereto; in both which we found that incouragement that he also came in amongst us into society. Thus, John Hunting became one of the eight "pillars" of the church at Dedham, admitted before the congregation formally organized. The Dedham church entered into covenant on 8 November 1638 and soon grew beyond those eight pillars. Its eighteenth member was "the wife of John Hunting who notwithstanding some scruples a while sticking in some of the church yet at length gave good satisfaction & was received.'" Shortly after this, the church proceeded to the selection of a ruling elder, the principal assistant to the minister. Four candidates were proposed; after lengthy consideration, John Hunting was chosen for the position and held it for the rest of his life. He also served Dedham in its secular affairs—being a feoffee (trustee) of the first free school in New England and a selectman on several occasions. Hester Hunting died at Dedham on 4 May 1676, having made a will on 4 January 1675/76 with the consent of her husband. In this document, which was not actually proved until 12 February 1684/85, Hester noted that £45 had been given her in the will of her brother Francis, but that it had not yet been received from England. She bequeathed £20 of this to her son John Hunting and £10 to her son Samuel Hunting, "liveing in Charlestown" [Massachusetts]. To Hannah, the wife of her son Samuel, she gave a pair of sheets and her best tablecloth; to her grandchild Samuel Hunting, the eldest son of son Samuel, she left six napkins. Hester then requested that the £15 remaining from her brother's bequest be divided into four equal parts and distributed as follows: one-fourth part (along with a coat) to her daughter Mary Buckner of Boston; one-fourth part to be divided equally among the children of her deceased "daughter Ware"; one-fourth part (and her best gown) to her daughter Hesther Fisher of Dedham; and one-fourth part (and other clothing) to Hesther Peck, the daughter of her son-in-law John Peck of Rehoboth. Finally, Hester made bequests of clothing to her maidservant Mary Wood and to Elizabeth Hunting, wife of her oldest son John. She then named sons John and Samuel as executors. John Hunting, Senior, of Dedham made his will on 15 December 1684; he was nearly eighty-three years old but had more than four years yet to live. John began by confirming the bequests made by his wife Hester. He then gave 20s. to his son Samuel, living in Charlestown; this, added to the sum already given Samuel, was to make up that son's full portion. The remainder of John's estate was to be divided into six parts. Two parts (a double portion) were to go to his eldest son, John of Dedham. One part was assigned to his widowed daughter Mary Buckner of Boston and her daughter Mary White; the mother was to have two thirds of their share, the daughter one. Another part was to go to a Dedham son-in-law, Robert Ware, Senior, in right of Robert's wife (Hunting's daughter) Margaret. A fifth part was bequeathed to Hunting's daughter Heasther Fisher of Dedham. The final part was left to his son-in-law John Peck of Rehoboth and Peck's eldest daughter Hesther (in right of Peck's first wife Elizabeth, Hunting's daughter); the Peck share was to be divided equally between Peck and the young Hesther. Executors were to be his Dedham friends, Sergeant Richard Ellis and Thomas Battelle, and his son John, Junior. Although Hunting died on 12 April 1689 and the inventory was taken on 11 June of that year, the will was not proved until 26 March 1691. This delay in probate may have been a reflection of the political upheaval consequent upon the 1689 overthrow of the administration of Sir Edmund Andros, governor-general of New England. In any event, John's estate was appraised at £153 3s. 11d., which £129 10s. represented eight different parcels of land. Of the three generations for which records have been found, the senior male representatives of the Hunting family of Palgrave, county Suffolk, had successfully maintained and improved their economic status. The father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the immigrant had each left a substantial estate to the next generation; and each successor to the family property had added more lands. The father of the immigrant John Hunting had already provided for his eldest son and was, at death, building a second fortune. John, by his decision to sail for New England, had foregone a landed inheritance in England that would have made him one of the wealthiest men in his community; yet, by the time he died in Dedham in 1689, his estate was probably greater than those of any of the brothers he had left behind. | Hunting, John (I2093)

| 943 | John was of the borough of Stamford in Lincolnshire (about 100 miles north of London) and was alderman (or Chief Magistrate) of Stamford, Lincoln County in 1376 and 1377. In 1376 he was deeded land in Tolethorpe in Rutlandshire (a couple miles away, but in a different county). From "Early Settlers of Watertown": Tolethorpe is situated on the right bank of the River Quash, in the Parish of Little Casterton, in Co. Rutland, about two miles north of the Borough of Stamford. In the 50th year of Edw. III. [A.D. 1376], Sir Thomas de Burton, Knt., by deed, dated on the Saturday next after the feast of St. Martin, the Bishop, conveyed to John Browne, of Stamford, Esq., all his lands, tenements, rents, and services in the Village of Little Casterton, with the reversion of the patronage of the church there. | Browne, John Esq.

| 944 | Joseph first arrived at the battle of Concord, April 19, 1773, as a private in Capt. Daniel Puller's Company form West Newton. In May 1775, he enlisted for eight months in Capt. Phinies Cook's Company, Col. Gardner's Reg't., receiving a bounty coat for this service. He enlisted a third time, March 1st, 1777 in Capt. K. Smith's Company, Col. Smith's Regt. Mass. Continental troops serving until July 1st, 1780. 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. He appears with rank of Corporal in Continental Army Pay Accounts 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. According to the autobiography of Joseph's youngest son, Joseph: "Among my earliest recollections were stories of the Revolutionary War recited by my father, Joseph Davenport, born May 22, 1756, who was a "Minute" man, and was called to the "Alarm" of April 19, 1775 at 2:00 a.m. He immediately joined the Army and fought in the Battle of Lexington and shared the privations and triumphs of Bunker Hill and Concord, driving the enemy out of the "Old Bay State." He was at Valley Forge, White Planes and at Saratoga with Gen'l. Gates at the surrender of Burgoyne; also at Princeton, Monmouth and Trenton. He was wounded during the war." | Davenport, Joseph (I534)
|
| 945 | Joseph is an interesting person for a couple reasons. First of all he was very close with his great nieces and nephew, Vinnie, Ira, Sarah and Julia. There are many letters written by Ira talking of Joseph. The last of these letters was dated 26 September 1882 indicating that he died some time after that. We also have a copy of a letter he wrote to Ira. The other reason he was important is that he links us to his father Joseph Davenport, Sr. Joseph Davenport, Sr. was a Revolutionary War veteran. Joseph was born 22 May 1756 in Newton, Massachusetts. From birth through the war, Joseph lived in northeastern Massachusetts. Then he disappeared. Joseph Davenport was a fairly common name. In the meantime a Joseph Davenport shows up in Western Massachusetts married to a woman named Mercy. Records show that Joseph and Mercy had 7 children born from 1781 through 1793. They had a son named Joseph born on 29 September 1879. So, where did our Joseph born on 17 July 1803? Well, we know that he was born in 1803 because of various records such as census. He was living with his niece Julia Wadsworth Ayer Evans, New York in 1860 and his great niece Vinnie Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1870. In 1880 he was living in a boardinghouse in Titusville. What ties in definitively with his Revolutionary War father is an excerpt from his autobiography. We don't have a copy of this autobiography but we have the excerpt from Alice and Clementine Ayer, his great great nieces. We don't know if they had ever met but they would have certainly have known of him because their father Ira and mother Jennie James Ayer were close to him. In 1864, after meeting Joseph, Jennie said, "Uncle Joseph’s letter was very kind and good. I think him a noble soled man too dear, I feel to love him." What that excerpt said was very specific: This Joseph Davenport born June 17, 1803 -- our great, grand mother's brother writes in his autobiography: "Among my earliest recollections were stories of the Revolutionary War recited by my father, Joseph Davenport, born May 22, 1756, who was a "Minute" man, and was called to the "Alarm" of April 19, 1775 at 2:00 a.m. He immediately joined the Army and fought in the Battle of Lexington and shared the privations and triumphs of Bunker Hill and Concord, driving the enemy out of the "Old Bay State." He was at Valley Forge, White Planes and at Saratoga with Gen'l. Gates at the surrender of Burgoyne; also at Princeton, Monmouth and Trenton. He was wounded during the war." We know nothing of Joseph's early life. Our first record of him is the 1860 census when he was living with his niece. His occupation was listed as Gentleman and his personal property was valued at $4000. In 1870 he was living with his great niece, Vinnie Ayer Barr and was listed as a retired farmer. For much of the Civil War he was in Washington, DC. We know that from letters written to his great nephew Ira. In 1865 he applied for a passport. We don't know where he was going but it was probably Zurich, Switzerland. The only picture of him we have was printed in Zurich. In the picture he is wearing a fez. The origin of the fez is anchient Greece. Starting in 1829 it became popular in the Muslim world. We now know them from the Shiners. That organization was founded in 1870. I don't know when they started wearing fezzes. But, since the picture was published in Zurich, it is not likely part of the Shrine organization. In 1870 and 1880 he was living in Titusville, first with his great niece Vinnie and then in a rooming house. In 1870 he was listed as a retired farmer and in 1880 at age 76 he was listed as an insurance agent. The last we have heard of Joseph is when Ira visited Titusville on 26 September 1883, Uncle Joseph was waiting for him at the train. | Davenport, Joseph (I544)

| 949 | Kenneth, King of the Picts (north and east Scotland) 843-858, is often thought of as the first King of Scotland but this is not the case. That title really goes to his grandson Constantine II. What is true is that he came to power after a very complicated succession and is at the head of a dynasty that led Scotland for hundreds of years. In the battle of 839 against the Vikings, the King of the Picts and all his possible successors were killed. Kenneth was one of four contenders to the throne. Sometime between 843 and 848 he defeated the last of the contenders to become the undisputed King of the Picts. During his reign the Vikings continued to make gains in the surrounding regions. | -, Cináed (Kenneth) mac Ailpín (I3007)
