8701 The Spicer Genealogy does not list a son named Isaac, further research is necessary. SPICER, Isaac (I19973)
 
8702 The Spicer Genealogy does not list this marriage. Family: Elderkin LATHROP / Ellen SPICER (F4511)
 
8703 The Spicer Genealogy notes that Jeremiah had been engaged to one Phoebe Newman who died before they could be married. His 2 daughter was named Phoebe and his first son Numan, each remaining son's name contained the last syllable of her name (man). SPICER, Jeremiah (I19965)
 
8704 The Spicer Genealogy says, "he is said to have raised a family of 13 children to maturity; no full list of their births has been found." The book then lists 12 children, including the Ebenezer which I have assigned to Nathan's brother Ebenezer. Online genealogists have included an Isaac that was not included in The Spicer Genealogy. Family: Nathan Henry SPICER / Leah MAYHEW (F4469)
 
8705 The Spicer genealogy states that Anna died near Council Bluffs, IA on the way to Utah. SMITH, Abney Anna (I18230)
 
8706 The Spicer genealogy states that John died of "black tongue" in Nauvoo, IL, while on the road to Utah. SPICER, John (I18229)
 
8707 The Spicer Genealogy states, "It is possible that Ezekiel Spicer married a second time, for the birth of Sarah, daughter of Ezekiel and Martha Spicer, was recorded in Amenia, New York, October 23, 1759." The genealogy then goes on to state, "The church records of Haddam record the marriage of Lucy Spicer and Daniel Bates in January, 1758; this might indicate the death of Ezekiel, Sr. and the marriage of Lucy, his widow."
Obviously both of the statements can't be true, Lucy dies and Ezekiel remarries or Ezekiel dies and Lucy remarries. Further research is needed.

8711 The surname McGoldrick is borne by descendants of the Mag Ualghairg sept, a branch of the O'Rourkes, who were rulers of Breffny. This sept was located on the Leitrim-Fermanagh borders. The descendants of the sept were scattered so that the surname McGoldrick now is found mainly in Co, Tyrone and Co. Sligo as well as Co. Fermanagh. McGolrick, McGoulrick and McGorlick are variant spellings on record while the English surname Goulding has been reported by the Registrar of Births as used interchangeably with McGolrick in Downpatrick Union, Co. Down. MCGOLDRICK, Andrew (I114)
 
8712 The Thomas Book states "As Samuel Thomas unquestionably m in 1688, a Mary Hutchins, and their certificate is signed, first, by Francis Hutchins (see West River Marriage Book, p. 19), she must have been the child of a former marriage, her sister of the same name marrying Benjamin Hance.

Note: It seems unlikely to me that Francis Hutchins who married Elizabeth Burrage is the father of this Mary by a previous marriage as stated in "The Thomas Book." At the time of his will in 1698 Francis Hutchins listed 7 children in his will, a son John and 6 daughters all under the age of 16. If this Mary Hutchins marries in 1688 she was likely born between 1660 and 1673, too old to have been his daughter. I have seen recorded that son-in-law Samuel Thomas is mentioned in the will of Francis Hutchins but have not seen a copy of that.

From the West River Marriage Book, folio 19.

Whereas Samuell Thomas of Annarundell County in the Province of Maryland and Mary Hutchins of Calvert County in the County aforesaid (sic.) having declaired their Intentions of Marriage two sundry times att several Publich meetings of the People of God called Quakers in the County aforesaid which was admitted on by the said Meetings. Now these are to Certifie all people whom it may concerne that for the full determining of the Intentions aforesaid this 15th day of the 3d month called May 1688. In an assembly of the people of God aforesaid att the house of Samuell Thomas in Annarundell County The said Samuell Thomas did According to the Example of the holy men of God. Recorded in the scriptures of truth, take Mary Hutchins to be his Wife and in like manner she the said Mary Hutchins did then and there take the said Samuell Thomas to be her husband, Each of them promising to be loving and faithfull one to another as husband and wife so long as they both shall live. 
Family: Samuel THOMAS / Mary HUTCHINS (F369)

8715 The traditional date that has been ascribed to John Howland's birth is 'about 1592', and this has never really been questioned. However, a birth about 1599 is clearly a better estimate for the following reasons:- John Howland is called a 'manservant' in William Bradford's passenger list. Servents were contracted out until the age of 25. Thus, Howland must have been under 25 in 1620, meaning he had to have been born after 1595. Since Howland signed the Mayflower Compact, he must have been born sometime before 1600 to have been legally old enough to sign. John Howland's wife was born in 1607, and it is most unlikely that he, at the age of 32, married a 17 year old girl as his first wife. Most men married about age 25, and since his marriage occurred about 1624, this would place his likely birth at 1599.- John Howland's last child was born in 1649. If the 1592 date were accepted, he would have fathered a child at the age of 57, a most unlikely circumstance. William Bradford writes in that John Howland was a 'lusty young man' in 1620. It is unlikely that Bradford would call a 28-yearold a 'young man'. The only other person Bradford called a 'young man' in 1620 was John Alden, who was born in 1599. John Howland came on the Mayflower as a servant to John Carver. He is best remembered for having fallen off the Mayflower during a mighty storm, as recorded by Bradford: 'In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together, And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his live saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.'
"John Howland was born about 1599, probably in Fenstanton, Huntington. He came on the Mayflower in 1620 as a manservant for Governor John Carver. During the Mayflower's voyage, Howland fell overboard during a storm, and was almost lost at sea--but luckily for his millions of descendants living today (including Presidents George Bush and George W. Bush, and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt) he managed to grab ahold of the topsail halyards, giving the crew enough time to rescue him with a boathook.

It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man", a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30--Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is an unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the Mayflower Compact, we can assume he was probably about 21 in 1620, so the best estimate for his birth would be about 1599.

John Howland had several brothers who also came to New England, namely Henry Howland (an ancestor to both Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford) and Arthur Howland (an ancestor to Winston Churchill). John Howland is an ancestor to Presidents George and George W. Bush as well as First Lady Edith (Carrow) Roosevelt (Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt).

8716 The transcription of cemetery records indicate that the stone of Bailey Pearson is broken and that he was buried on December 26, 1872 at the age of 60y, 10m, 1day. This does not jive with his birthdate of 2 Feb 1807, it is exactly years off, perhaps because the stone is broken the transcriptionist was unable to clearly read the stone.

8724 The will of Roger Shaw contains the names of Abraham and Daniel Tilton, sons of his wife by her first marriage. His son, Joseph, was made sole executor of this will in which he is instructed to pay Abraham and Daniel Tiltontheir portion according to "Covenant" when they shall become of age.

8725 The will of Thomas Stone mentions only two sons, William and Richard, as well as his wife, Mary who is his executor. The will states that his son's shall receive their inheritance upon reaching the age of 18.
"I Thomas Stone, of Charles County........make this my last will and testament, and do make void all other wills by me forever. I make my loving wife, Mary Stone, my sole Executor.
I give my dear son, Richard, the plantation now in possession of Simon Stevens as his lease expires, also land.............., part of it being Poynton Manor.

8726 The will of William Crawford was written in February of 1852 and proved on November 16, 1852. The provisions of the will are as follows:
All of his home farm (followed by legal description) to son Johnathan Crawford and his children and their heirs. Johnathan, in consideration of this is to keep and maintain his mother in a comfortable manner during her life and to bury her without charge after her death.
To the children of his son Lewis he directs the executor to purchase land in the sum of three hundred dollars to be held by them and their heirs. Money to come from the sale of his personal property.
To his son William he gives two hundred pounds of bacon.
The residual of his personal estate is divided between his daughters Nancy Eckard and Rebecca Flanagan equally.

Not mentioned in this will are the children of his deceased son John, our ancester being a 12 year old orphan at the time.
Son Josiah and daughter Elizabeth are not mentioned either.
I had assumed that Lewis Crawford was dead, given the mention of his children but I find him in the 1860 census in Taylor, Harrison, IN with his wife Catherine and two children.

8727 The Wm. S. Carr File shows that Chloe Baker married Aaron Mason, Jr. which I believe to be incorrect and does not jive with other records. Source (S241)
 
8728 Thea Torfindsdatter, age 6, is enumerated in the 1865 Norway census with a family headed by Marit Pedersdatter, age 57 and her children, surnamed Ellingsen. She is listed as a foster child. MOEN, Thea Torfinsdatter (I16727)
 
8729 There appears to be a problem with either the birth date of Thomas or the death date of his mother. All records I can find list his birth after her death! POTVIN, Thomas (I17267)
 
8730 There appears to be a record in Maine as well as Canada of this marriage, on different dates. Family: Cecil Victor LEIGHTON / Helen Libby RYAN (F213)
 
8731 There are several versions of the family of John and Johanna (Garrett) Cole. The main difference beteen the two concerns Christopher Cole, one of the principals of the subject Cole line. The book, "The Parrish Family" lists Christopher as the son of John and Johanna Cole and the book, "Baltimore County Families" lists Christopher as the grandson of John and Johanna. The latter version is more consistent with the dates associated with Christopher's life and is used in this document. COLE, John (I918)
 
8732 There are several ways Johan's last name is spelled in records from Sweden: Lindahl, Linden, Lindau, Lindow, Lindan, Linds. It is likely his children used one of these last names but possible they chose Johansson. LINDAU, Johan Peter Andersson (I19746)
 
8733 There is a note on Clare's baptismal record that she was married in Belmont, Mass to Dr. Cullen Ryan on Sept. 4, 1929. MCGOLDRICK, Clare Catherine (I140)
 
8734 There is a "Levi White Chapin, 1822 - 1915" listed as buried in the Eldora Cemetery, Eldora Township, Hardin County, Iowa. Not sure whether this is the right guy or not but seems to be. CHAPIN, Levi (I1379)
 
8735 There is a Joseph F. Brown buried in the Mitchellsville Cemetery in Wheeler, Steuben, NY along with Elizabeth W. Brown (1868-1950); Sarah J. Brown (1842 - 1923) and John Brown (5/24/1789 - 4/29/1877). The dates seem close but have not yet proved this is "my" Joseph. BROWN, Joseph (I9063)
 
8736 There is a Levi Pearson in the 1860 census at Bad Ax, Hillsboro, WI who seems to fit. He is listed with a wife Mary and daughter Abba, 6 mo. PEARSON, Levi (I3312)
 
8737 There is a marriage record indexed as Frederick Techentien of Bridgeport and Louisa Stina Fedding or Vedding of East Saginaw. Their ages are 30 (1838) and 21 (1847) respectively. Frederick's occupation is Blacksmith and his birth place is recorded as Droenewitz, Prussia and hers as Grass Latzkow. They were married in Frankemouth, Saginaw, MI Family: Johan Friedrich TECHENTIEN / Elesebeth Sophie Catharina FETTING (F5963)
 
8738 There is a notation of this date in the Household Examination book that I believe indicates a marriage date but I am unable to find the record in the book of marriage records. Family: Gustaf ZACHRISSON / Stina ERSDOTTER (F5938)
 
8739 There is apparently some confusion regarding the mother of Frances Cotton. Below is a note from an Abell family genealogist.
"
The solution to the problem was presented by Thompson in his "The Genealogist" article. It is basically an argument by elimintation. I am a little fuzzy on the details (its been years), but if I recall correctly, the children of the firstwife were named in the will of her father, and the children of the third wife were named in her own will. Frances is named in neither of these, and thus is presumed to be daughter of the second wife, Mary Mainwaring. It is solid work." 
COTTON, Frances (I14860)
 
8740 There is confusion as to place of death. However, all accounts have January 1778 as date of death.

Isaac died while in the army.

Most accounts have his place of death as Framingham, MA. This is questionable given that he was in the army at the time of his death and he died during the Revolutionary War. Framingham may be given only because it is convenient (that was his home at the time).

Some accounts have his place of death as Valley Forge, PA. This is also unlikely and probably listed only because the date of his death is the same as the date of significant hardship at Valley Forge. No record however can be found of his death there or of him ever being there.

One account has him dying at Saratoga, NY. This too is unlikely as the battles in Saratoga were in September and October of 1777. He is listed however, as having been part of those 1777 Saratoga battles. 
HEMINGWAY, Isaac (I23062)
 
8741 There is no proof that Rachel Van Meter and Richard Wiley are the parents of Mary. According to one correspondent, a "VanMeter Association" disclaims this Rachel. Another correspondent claims Rachel is the daughter of Henry and Margaret (Moore) Van Meter. VANMETER, Rachel (I3458)
 
8742 There is no proof that Rachel Van Meter and Richard Wiley are the parents of Mary. According to one correspondent, a "VanMeter Association" disclaims this Rachel. Another correspondent claims Rachel is the daughter of Henry and Margaret (Moore) Van Meter. WILEY, Richard (I3457)
 
8743 There is record of the burial of a Mary Gill on the 2nd day, 5th month, 1708. I am not sure whether this is "my" Mary Gill or the daughter Mary. PEARSON, Mary (I3440)
 
8744 There is record of the burial of a Sarah Gill, daughter of Jno Gill on the 13th day, 9th month, 1716. I am not sure whether this is "my" Sarah Gill. GILL, Sarah (I24226)
 
8745 There seems to be some descrepencey about her birth date. The Kelloggs of the Old World and New by Timothy Hopkins and 3 other sources from the Fairfield Historical Society, li st her birth as 1655. BOUTON, Bridget (I2824)
 
8746 There was set off, 7 Sept., 1739, to John Kellogg, land at Ellis Neck, valued at £9, 4s., 6d., and on 27 Dec., 1739, '8 acres at ye upper end of Silver Mine Hill.' In 1731, the Parish of Canaan in Norwalk was established, and John's house was included in this parish, but in Oct., 1738, he was allowed, by act of the General Assembly, to leave the Parish of Canaan and rejoin Norwalk. His estate, appraise d at £1,800, was distributed in 1750. KELLOGG, Deacon Deacon John (I2531)
 
8747 There were several early HAILE, HALE, HAYLE, HEALE settlers in Virginia. Some have claimed that Nicholas Haile was the son of a George Haile. This is questionable, since while there were some George Hale immigrants, notably a 13 year old drummer boy named George Hale on the ship Supply in 1620, an a George Hale/Heale in Northumberland County who claims to be over 60 years of age in 1661, it seems that records indicate that Nicholas Haile of Lancaster Co VA, was of York County until 1656 when he is described as of Lancaster Co. In the Records of Northumberland Co is a Thomas Haile,Hayles, Hale who seems to have been born ca. 1601, and may be the 20 year old Thomas Hale arriving on the GEORGE in 1623. The Thomas Haile appears in Northumberland Co records starting in 1648. He apparently had a son name John. What relation may exist between Nicholas Haile and these other Haile, Hale families that were living in the same area is unknown.

There have been claims that Nicholas' wife Mary was nee Travers, however, so far there does not appear any substaniation of this claim and it appears that in migh have arose from a missinterpretation of Mary Hale being listed in the debts of the estate of Rawleigh Travers. (Thanks to Linda for providing some of the early VA record data on the Haile family)

8748 These individual records were created during a study about human genetics and disease. The millions of individual records were created from a variety of sources, including birth, marriage, and death records, obituaries, probate records, books of remembrance, family histories, genealogies, family group sheets, and more, but the documentation was not kept. Since genetics confirms relationships in a scientific way, researchers were not concerned with citing the source of every genealogical fact compiled. Source (S276)
 
8749 This 1869 Atlas of Clinton County shows the tannery of A. G. Kennon located on what is now known as "Kennon Creek." KENNON, Albert Gallatin (I502)
 
8750 This birth date, recorded on his death certificate is incorrect. Marquis is specifically mentioned in his father's will, written March 22, 1837. CRAWFORD, Marquis DeLafayette (I26304)
