10056 The Pardee Genealogy by Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A. Source (S03478)
 
10057 The Peebles Genealogy by Leslie Peebles, show Jeremiah Wilbur as the son of Nathaniel and Rosanna Wilbur. The Hall Genealogy has Jeremiah as the son of John Wilbur and Mary Barber. Until further research is done, I will be leaving him as the son of John Wilbur.

Soon after their marriage, Jeremiah and Sally Orissa Wilbur moved to Arkwright, Chat. Co., NY, where Jeremiah had purchased a 36 acre farm. They lived there for about 17 years and six of their eight children were born there. In 1842, Jeremiah in company with two of Sally O. Peebles' bros., William F., Jr. and Seth Peebles, moved by wagon train to Branch Co., Mich. Soon after this, we believe in 1843, William F. Peebles, Sr. and wife also moved to Branch Co., Mich., but they went by boat from Dunkirk to Detroit, and then by wagon to Quincy, Michigan. The Peebles families only lived a short time in Branch Co., Mich., and all had moved to Boone Co., Ill. before 1845 or 1846, when we find that Seth and his father had again moved to Green Co., Wisc. where they made their last settlement.

Jeremiah and Sally remained in Quincy, Mich. and both died there. After Jeremiah's death in 1856, Sally kept their farm until the children were all grown up when she sold it to her son, Hart J. Wilbur. Sally lived to be 92 yrs. old and was a fine Christian woman beloved by all who knew her.

Jeremiah Wilbur was a shoemaker as well as a farmer. He kept an account book from time of his marriage until his death in 1856. this covered the years from 1826 to 1842 in Arkwright and from 1842 to 1856 in Quincy, Mich. this book is now the property of Jeremiah's grd-son Jerry F.Wilbur, of St. Petersburg, Fla. Jerry loaned this interesting old book to the writer. It is quite an informative record of the old barter system where little money changed hands. Most accounts were paid in either labor or commodities.

From the records it appears that Jeremiah was something of an herb doctor, as well as shoemaker. There are several notations where he prepared his 'bitters' or 'tonic' for various of his neighbors. A list of the people with whom Jeremiah had dealings is rather an interesting study of the early settlers in Arkwright, NY..... Most shoes sold for about $1.25 per pair unless (you found the leather), in which case the cost was about .75 per pair for shoes..

Mrs. Jennie L. Cross, of this place died at her home, on Tuesday afternoon from diabetes. Deceased has been a great sufferer from this disease for the past 26 years and death came as a relief from her sufferings. She was 60 years old at the time of death, and was married 42 years ago to J. C. Cross, who survives her. Two children were born to the couple, but both have been dead a number of years. Mrs. Cross although sick for so many years, bore it bravely, and by her pleasant manner drew about her a large circle of friends. The poor heart broken husband was devotedly attached and is entitled to the sympathy of all in his bereavement. The funeral will be held from the Methodist church today and the remains will be interred in the cemetery at Rush Lake, in the family lot, beside the children.

10059 The Plantagenets
1154-1399

The surname of this remarkable family derives from the nickname borne of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, between 1129 and 1251. Geoffrey, the father of Henry II, wore a spring of flowering broom (Planta genista) as his personal badge.

The first Plantagenet king of England was Henry II, and he is generally regarded as the greatest of them. Thirteen more kings followed him in a dynasty that ruled for 331 years, although for the last 86 years, rival families within the dynasty struggling to seize the crown took the names of Lancaster and York, even though all were Plantagenets. for much of this long period, the kings were involved in costly and largely unproductive wars with France and Scotland, and in power struggles with the over-mighty barons at home. As a dynasty, the Plantagenets made their greatest contribution in the development of English law, especially the unique Common Law, and by sponsoring a splendid architectural heritage.

Henry's succession in 1154 made him lord of a vast empire, and he was equipped with all the intellectual and physical qualities to rule it well. Henry began by destroying the castles built by rebellious barons during Stephen's reign, and then set about regulating the power of the Church. Although the latter years of his reign were plagues by family revolts, his vast empire was still intact when he died in 1189.

When Henry I became King of England in 1154 he was already Count of Anjou and of Touraine, andDuke of Normandy and of Aquitaine. As such, he was lord of an empire that stretched from the Cheviot Hills down to the Pyrenees, his territories in France exceeding even those of the French king. Known as the Angevin Empire (because the country of Anjou lay at its heart), this vast domain was held together by diplomacy and force of arms, and remained intact up to the death of Richard I in 1199.

In 1164 Henry se out various Church reforms in the Constitutions of Clarendon. These included the proposal that the clergy or others associated with the Church, if charged with a criminal offence, should be tried in the civil courts, and tat no appeal could be made to rome without the Kings consent. Despite fierce opposition from the Church, these reforms were adopted. The King quarreled with Thomas a Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, over the new laws and, although the two men were reconciled, they again quarreled in 1170. In exasperation, henry cried out: 'Will not someone rid me of this turbulent priest?' Four of Henry's knights responded to the King's outburst and set off for Canterbury, where they pursued the archbishop into his cathedral and murdered him in front of the altar.

In Plattsburgh, April 14, 1879, Lottie E., wife of Charles H. Ransom, aged 26 years.

Deceased was a daughter of our esteemed citizen, Mr. S.H. Whitney. Her remarkably amiable and cheerful disposition greatly endeared her to a large circle of acquaintances. October 9, 1877, she married Mr. Charles H. Ransom, son of Capt H.S. Ransom, well known in this county. The sudden bereavement falls heavily upon the afflicted husband, and upon both families, and wakens the deepest sympathy of the entire community. At the funeral services at the Methodist Church, Wednesday afternoon, the house was crowded to its full capacity. The remarks by the pastor, Rev. B.B. Loomis, were very appropriate and sympathetic, and the exercises both at the church and at the grave were unusually impressive. Rev. A.J. Waugh, of the First Presbyterian Church, and Presiding Elder Webster, participated in the services, and among the pall bearers were representatives of the Methodist First Presbyterian, Peristrome and Episcopal Churches.

Deceased was a member of the Methodist Church, and will be greatly missed in the society and the Sabbath-school.

THE RANSOMS IN AMERICA
Historical Paper With Biographical Sketch of the Late Esteemed and Beloved Mrs. Ferdinand Ransom of Chazy, New York
The death of Mrs. Ferdinand Ransom, of Chazy. N.Y., demands more than a passing notice. Mrs. Ransom was descended lineally from Robert Ransom, of Ipswich. Eng.,who settled in Plymouth. Mass. prior to 1650. He became a freeman in 1607, married Susanah in 1660.
He held various offices of trust, was one of a committee to receive funds for the increase of minister's salary. Robert Ransom died at Plymouth. Mass., December 14, 1697 and gave to the country a long line of defendants, ever at the front in defense of the Flag: and of its free institutions. Authentic records show, that for many centuries the Ransoms lived in East England, being of Danish stock,and were in later years prominent in the affairs of its principal towns. It is quite humiliating to confess that the Danes acquired the cognomen from the Prisons during the Danish Invasions from their custom of capturing people of prominence and holding them in captivity until ransom was paid for their release.
In England, they were inventors and took out many patents and gained many prizes and medals for improvinis in agricultural implements and were cooper plate engravers also.They vere partial to agricultural puruits in England, as their descendants are in America to this day.
Many of the Ransoms were Quakers and suffered persecution and imprisonment while on preaching tours in England Ireland and Holland.
Through the colonial period and the Revolutionary War the Ransom family in all its branches took an active part. Capt. Samuel Ransom gave his life at the Massacre of Wyoming, July 3, 1778.
Newton Ransom, of Colchester,Conn who married Sarah Jones. September 21, 1742. had removed shortly before the Revolution to Shelburne Falls Mass., and on the call to arms his six sons enlisted in the Massachusetts Continental Line, their names being: Ezekiel, John, Newton, Calvin,Hazael and Jabez. A seventh son Roswell Ransom. was with the Connecticut Troops, and was captured, to undergo unmitigated sufferings in a
military prison, on the expedition to Quebec. December 31, 1777. Jabes Ransom was with General Warren at Punker Hill. Ezekiel Ransom was with General Stark. Thus "Newton and Sarah Jones Ransom evinced their patrotism by giving seven sons to fight for their country's, honor. He was very pious and exemplary in all the walks of life!
In the Colonial Records " Hoadleys." are the names of twenty three Ransoms prominent in civil and military affairs. In the Connecticut Records
are the names of twenty three Ransoms, in the American Army during the Revolutionary War. Boston embraces more than thirty names. During the War of 1812 and the Civil War the Ransoms achieved repeated promotions for gallant conduct. Com.G. Marcellus Ransom, of Otsego Co.New York, was among the number.He died September l0, 1889. having served his country more than thirty three year, leaving a brilliant record as an officer in the American navy.In civil life, Epaphroditus Ransom,born at Shelburne Falls, Mass., on March 24,1798. married Almira Caldwell, of Montpelier. Vt, February 21,1827 should be mentioned. He was
appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, of Michigan in 1837 and was promoted to the Chief Justiceship in 1842. In 1845 he became Governor
and the Sault Ste. Marie canal was begun under his administration. In his second message he took radical action against the extension of slaver. In later years he removed to Fort Scott,Kansas, where he died November 12,1859. He was noted for fine social qualities and his home was always open to his friends.
From such stock on American soil sprung our lamented and beloved friend, Mrs. Ferdinand Ransom, "who was a Ransom of the Ransoms," her
mother being Phillnda Ransom, the wife of Roswell Barber and her husband, Ferdinand Ransom, a son of
Epaphroditus and Sally Ransom, who vied with her daughter-in-law in having a Ransom by birth and by marriage.
Mrs. Ferdinand Ransom was the grand daughter of "Kliaha and Irene Wells Ransom. married at Colchester. Conn January 25, 1776 She was the great granddaughter of Newton and Sharah Jones Ransom married September 21, 1742. the great-great granddauaghter of Robert and Alice Newton Ransom of Colchester Conn., married in Rhode Island 1707 and so in a direct line through Joshua and Mary Gifford Ransom back to Robert Ransom.of Plymoth Mass.the pregenitor of the New England Ransoms.
Ferndinand Ransom and Martha Barber were married in Chazy on April 12,1855, and the young wife became the light and joy of the homestead of Epapahroditus and Sally Ransom.
bear the cross, shall wear the crown.
The memories of our loved one are sweet though at in geaf sadness covers there prospect,as we think of the hospitality of that home on the hill side in Chazy, N.Y. beneath the shade of virgin trees. All is changed, no more the hum of labor, no longer hangs the Old Oaken Bucket. " no longer gleams the fire side hearth, the brook has ceased to dance , the willows bend lower to earth All is silent . . No longer is heard the sony of content ment and love, but above in the Heavenly Home are met In jubilant song., the loved ones who composed that happy family on earth.
The very names of Epaphroditus and Sally Ransom. Ferdinand and Esther Ransom are enshrined in the hearts of the irrelatives and friend.
May we. who share the blood of our beloved relative and friend, emulate her sterling worth and deep religious principles, as well as her Christian
graces of Faith Hope and Charity.
Mrs. Ransom, during the past few years, made her home with Mrs. James D. Dickerson of Chazy. where all her relatives were welcome, and where the dear, departed passed the time of her so journing here, with cheerfulness and patience, surrounded by all the comforts that the love of this family could bestow. I may be permitted to add an item of interest in this tribute to the memory of Mrs. Ferdinand Ransom, which has taken an historical as well as a biographical form . It is in regard to the establishment of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Western New York.
The first Episcopal Church (St.Paul's) was organized in the home of Elias Ransom in the " Village of Buffalo " In 1817, and he was one of Its first vestrymen.The broad mantle of this church
must have fallen upon Mrs. Ransom.his descendant, for its prayer book was her constant companion: and she told the writer" that nothing had ever brought her soul in to closer communion with God than words of grace of humble petition and of promise."
Surely the blessings of the Covenant are upon children's children to the latest generation and work done "In His name." is like the Soul mortal.

RECKLESS DRIVING

Yesterday evening CHARLES PADELFORD, who drives an express wagon, came near running over a woman at the Seventh street crossing on Hampshire Street. The fact was reported to Capt. Sliney and Padelford was arrested and charged with reckless driving. Many of the drivers of both hacks and express wagons are too careless in driving across street cossings, and an example should be made of some of them.

The Quincy Daily Whig: 1885 Jul 04

POLICE COURT

The prisoners' bench was well filled yesterday moprning. Justice Wallin seems to have turned over a new leaf, for on yesterday morning he assessed fines that are more apt to convince peace disturbers that it don't pay to get drunk and raise a disturbance.
C.C. Watson got full of levee whisky and made himself "too numerous to mention." For the fun he had he was asked to pay $25 and costs, and as he had spent all of his money for drink he was compelled to accept a position in the city's quarry, where he will work until he earns $26.50 at $1 per day.
William Lahan, another peace disturber, was fined a like amount, and went to the rockpile with Watson, to keep the latter from being lonesome.
CHARLES PADELFORD was also charged with disturbing the peace, but the charge should have been interfering with an officer. It appears that William and CHARLED PADELFORD were among the excursionist on the steamer Co. Patterson on Wednesday evening. They got into trouble on the boat, which was renewed after the parties left the boat. Constable Tom Harvey was present and arrested William Fees. PADELFORD interfered, and the result was that Fees escaped and PADELFORD was arrested and taken to the station. He was fined $25 and costs.

Sunday night George W. Slauson, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens, died at his home on Main Street at 9:30 o'clock, after years of sickness. Mr. Slauson, had been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism nearly twenty years, and the last attack came on about two weeks ago which resulted in the disease going to his brain and death soon followed. He was born in Phillips Town, Putnam Co., NY, on the 10th day of July, 1837. On the 18th day of May 1838, he came to this city with his father, the late Daniel Slauson, who was one of the wealthiest and best known lumberman in the state. He inherited considerable property by the death of his father, which by hard work and perseverance he added largely to, and leaves a fortune of $100,000. He was the owner of large mills and extensive pine lands at Ogantz Bay and other northern pine lands and was also owner of the schooner Fearless. The funeral occurs this Thursday afternoon.

10067 The record of Joshua's life and career is obscure and involved in much uncertainty. It is obvious from a close review of the Plymouth records that he was a man active in affairs, having numerous land deals, indicating that he was a general trade and property man. After his second marriage his relations to his children seem to have been mainly restricted to John, the son, by his wife, Susanna, and gave him the home at Plympton previous to his death. It seems quite likely that Robert and Mary, the children by Mary Gifford, remained in Rhode Island after their mother's death in their uncle's (Yelverton0Gifford) family, where they were reared.[gifford.ged]

10068 The record of the death of Samuel Deming upon the town records of Wethersfield, states that he was aged 63 "near out," and thus fixes the year of his birth at about 1646. According to the Kirby Genealogy, Talcott, and other authorities, his wife was Sarah Kirby, daughter of John Kirby of Middletown, the statement being based, probably, upon the fact that she was an heir of John Kirby. The land records of Middletown show that Sarah, widow of Samuel Deming, was one of the heirs of Mary Buck, and joined in deeding land which the latter received from the estate of John Kirby. The same records give a list of the grandchildren of Kirby, which includes Sarah Churchill, who was none other than the former widow of Samuel Deming, as shown by her signature to the distribution of Samuel's estate in 1729. These facts indicate that Mrs. Sarah Deming was the grand-daughter and not the daughter of John Kirby. DEMING, Samuel (I70182)
 
10069 The records of the town make several mentions of him in purchases of land, etc. And the minutes of the Friends' Meeting show that he was a member of that society in good standing. On May 1, 1728, he sold his property to Joshua Townsend and soon after appears as a resident of Rye, Westchester County. On August 29, 1766, he made his will, and o September 12 following it was proved. It mentions his sons Thomas and Isaac, daughter Martha, wife of Thomas Park, and Freelove, wife of Thomas Marsh. His wife probably died before 1743.

He was withal a successful farmer and a man highly esteemed by all who knew him.

10070 The Rev. Mr. Taylor who married Elizabeth Fitch and settled in the ministry at Westfield, Mass., had been a theological student in the family of rev. Mr. Fitch and through this connection developed an affection for the daughter of his teacher.

A curious love letter that Elizabeth fitch received from Mr. Taylor before their marriage has been preserved, (if not the original, at least a careful copy), which Miss Caulkins appropriately says, "displays in a striking manner the quaint and metaphorical taste of the age, - a taste, the decline of which can not be lamented, since it seems better adapted to the display of an elaborate fancy, than to express genuine feeling."

The address was accompanied with a crude sketch of a carrier dove with an olive branch in its mouth. Rev. Dr. Taylor then proceeds to show "that conjugal love should exceed all other love" but in illustrating this point he forgets the role of lover for that of the theologian and tunes into the style of a sermon which would not prove popular as a present-day love-letter. the drawing of the dove and olive branch, however, prove without doubt that the Rev. Dr. Taylor was pressing an ardent love suit in which he was successful. He was a man of great erudition and left a large number of MSS. to perpetuate his memory. After the death of his first wife, Elizabeth (Fitch) Taylor, whose daughter Hepzibah married Hon. Jon Pynchon, Rev. Mr.Taylor married Ruth Wyllis of Hartford. One of their daughters, by this marriage, was mother of President Stiles of Yale University, while their only surviving son Eldred, was the progenitor of a numerous and distinguished family.

10074 The second son of James I, Charles never expected to be King, only becoming heir to the throne after the death of his older brother, Henry, in 1612. Charles inherited his father's belief in the Divine Right of Kings and never wavered from that doctrine, even though it caused his own death. As a result, he was obstinate in his political dealings and constantly quarreled with his parliaments, ruling without one for 11 years.

For more than a decade, Charles attempted to rule without Parliament, enforcing the royal prerogative through the Court of Star Chamber and the Court of High Commission. Charles gave these courts arbitrary powers to suppress political and religious opposition to his personal rule. the rivalry between parliament and the monarchy gave rise to the Civil War, one of the greatest upheavals in British history.

The major battle of the Civil War took place outside the town of Naseby in Northamptonshire on 14 June 1645. the 15,000-strong Parliamentary New Model Army, an untried force trained by Oliver Cromwell and led by Cromwell and Thomas Fairfax, faced a Royalist army half its size led by the King. the defeat of the royalist army was decisive in giving victory to Parliament in the Civil War.

In early 1649, Parliament took the decision to try the King for waging war against his kingdom and against Parliament. The trial began on 20 January in Westminster Hall and was held in front of about 50 Members of Parliament. throughout the trial, Charles stubbornly refused to recognize the legality of the court. On 27 January he was found guilty and sentenced to death by execution. The sentence was carried out on 30 January.

Shy and serious, Charles was a strange mixture of great personal charm, modesty, and politeness, combined with a lot of nervous tension and no self-confidence.

10075 THE SETTLERS OF THE BEEKMAN PATENT VIII

THE MCCREADY FAMILY

The earliest record we have found for this family is a Charles McCrady, yeoman of New Rochell, Westcheter Co., NY who wrote his will 9 Oct. 1754, proved 30 Nov. 1754. It is abstracted as follows: "In the name of God, Amen. I Charles McCrady, of New Rochelle, yeoman, being weak in body. "As to my burial, I desire it may be decent, at the discretion of my executors." I leave to my wife "this house wherein I now dwell, with all the furniture, and the land and tenements that lie round it, during her widowhood, and after she had done with it, then to my sons James and Charles, that is, if my executors think that my son Charles will be likely to make a good use of it. But if they think he will spend it, then my son Charles's eldest son is to have it." But if he should have no son, then my son James is to have it. I leave my daughter Ann L20, to be paid by whoever has the place. My executors are to sell a pair of oxen, 2 cows, six acres of wheat now on the ground, and 6 or 8 hogs, to pa debts. I leave to my wife the old grey mare and the fat cow and 11 hogs. To my dau. Molly a horse. To my grand-son Charles Correy, a young steer. to my son Charles all farming tackling, and my saddle and bridle. I make my wife and my son in law George Correy, and my friend, Joseph Haim, executors. Susannah and Sarah Hunt and Robert Graham witnessed the will.

Note: Not sure which of his daughters married George Correy.

10076 The Slason Genealogy (note 1), 16-7 calls him a 2nd cousin, son of one Josiah Slason who was in turn called son of George's presumed brother Thomas. However since this proposal requires several moves back and forth between Cape Cod and the southwestern Conn. area without any proof at all, this relationship, although often repeated in print and on the Internet, is probably a complete fabrication. It is much ore likely tat Joseph was a 1st cousin, probably a previously unnoticed son of Eleazer Slason of Stamford and Bedford, a relationship still remaining to be proved. SLAWSON, Joseph (I51711)
 
10077 The Slawson/Slauson/Slosson book states a seventh child for Daniel Slawson and Molly Horton. This child Elmira born 1826 and died 1895 is actually Elmira Horton, first wife of Comfort M. Slawson. This Elmira is the daughter of Warren Horton and Harriett Darby. I have removed Elmira as a child of Daniel and Molly Slawson. SLAWSON, Daniel (I51088)

10079 The son of Thomas "The Settler" Dewey & his wife Frances, later the wife of George Phelps. Dewey married on 6 Nov 1662 at Northampton, MA to Hepzibah Lyman the daughter of Richard & Hepzibah Ford Lyman. The Deweys located at Northampton, MA about 1663 where Josiah learned the carpenter's trade and became a freeman in 1666. During King Philip's War he was a Sargent of the Guard at Westfield, MA.

He was a Quaker and in his religious discovery he says; "When I was entred into a married state I saw myself now under former ingagemnts of attending heart-searching & hearing Mr. Mather on the hearts hardness assert that there was no plague like unto that, I was affrighted there at & soon after hearing Mr. Eliot (now of Gilford) on a lecture sermon was so awakened as to resolve no longer to delay but to fall to search my own heart. But I found it hard & difficult work to keep my mind to it & sometimes I found that my heart would slip from ye work almost as soon as I was at it. So that I could find little rest."

He seems to have found that rest as he became a Deacon in the church at Westfield. In 1696 he moved to Lebanon, CT where he helped found the town, and where his name appears often in the early records.

10089 The Tribulations and Trial of Martha Mead
By Lee Meade
From Mead-e Family Tree, Vol.1, No. 2, Fall 1996, http://www.meadnewsletter.com/

It is generally believed that life was simpler during the early days of American colonization. The settlers worried about attacks by Indians, but they were few and far between. They had concerns about the weather, but for the most part, the Connecticut climate was mild and crops grew well. Everyone followed a stoic lifestyle, working from dawn to dusk during the week and socializing between intermittal breaks in the day-long Sunday worship service.
However, that wasn't always the way it was. At times, there was social intrigue too that stirred the community to dramatic proportions.
Martha Mead, believed to be the only daughter of William and Philippa Mead of Stamford, unwillingly became the subject of one of the most controversial legal cases in 17th Century New England.
If early records are accurate, Martha was born in the town of Lydd in County Kent, England, about 1632. She had an older brother Joseph, and younger brother John.
After landing at Boston, the Meads moved first to a new settlement at Wethersfield, Conn., and then on to Stamford, where William was one of the community first landowners.
She was just 9 years old when her father received a home lot and five acres of land as one of the original 42 settlers in Stamford. Twelve years later, she married John Richardson of Stamford and seemed to be well on her way to becoming a typical New England housewife.
But there was trouble and considerable tribulation just around the corner for Martha and her family.
Martha had a problem. Several months prior to her wedding, she discovered she was pregnant. She told her parents, her brothers and fiance.
"I don't know how it happened and I don't know who the father is," she confessed to her probably disbelieving audience.
As they attempted to sort through the facts, Martha recalled there was a day while she had been working as a domestic servant in the home of one of the Stamford residents when she lost consciousness during an epileptic seizure. When she came to, she had been taken to a bedroom in the house and, she suggested, may have been raped. There were only two men in the house at the time, and, although Martha knew both of them, she could not identify which one may have been her attacker.
Her husband acknowledged he was not the father, but he did not want her to be castigated in the eyes of the community, so he suggested they move to Roxbury, Mass., a small town near Boston, and live there until after the baby had been born. Outside the immediate family, nobody knew the real reason for the move.
The baby was born, but died within its first month of life, and Martha and John returned to Stamford.
All of this had taken place in 1653, but a year later a rumor surfaced in Stamford that Martha had been pregnant at the time of her wedding, that she had given birth to a baby in Massachusetts and the baby had died under mysterious circumstances.
One can only imagine the excitement the report stirred in the small, conservative Puritan town. For weeks, the gossip about Martha Mead was spoken in hushes. Then it broke into the open, and was brought to the attention of the magistrates in New Haven, the colonial capital of the province.
When Martha was confronted with the charges, she denied she had ever been pregnant. However on Oct. 18, 1654, a Court of Magistrates was called in New Haven to hear the case, and "take whatever action it deemed appropriate."
Present at the hearing were Theophilus Eaton, Esq., Governor of Connecticut; Stephen Goodyeer, Deputy Governor, and Magistrates Samuell Eaton, Francis Newman, Benjamin Fenn and William Leete.
The charge was that "Martha Mead, now the wife of John Richardson of Stamford, was guilty of fornication, proued by her being with child some months before marriage, and that to avoyde or stopp reproach, her husband had carried her to Roxbury in the Massachusets, where she was delivered of a child in January last, at the house of Mr. Joshua Hughes, wch child luied aboute or aboue a moneth and then dyed, but how and in what manner, the court though worth inquirie."
Richardson admitted his wife was with child before marriage, that he knew of her condition, but denied he was the father. He said he took her from Stamford to Roxbury before childbearing to avoid the public shame.
"When did you marry Martha Mead?" the Court asked. "And when did she have the child?"
"I married her at the latter part of wheat harvest," Richardson replied. "The baby was born in January. It passed away less than a month later. We returned to Stamford, but thought there was nothing to be gained by opening our personal discomfort."
Martha confirmed she had been with child before her marriage, but boldly declared, "I neither did - no do - know who is the father." "I was in a fit of swooning in my Master's house in Stamford," she explained. "While I was unconscious, I was carried to a bed in another room and I was taken advantage of. When I came to, I saw Joseph Garnesy in the room, but I do not know it was that abused me."
The court read the written evidence and heard the verbal testimony of several Stamford witnesses. In addition to Garnesy, one other man, John Ross, had been in the house when the incident allegedly occurred. Her brother, Joseph, and several townfolk, including goodwife Knapp, goodwife Stocke, goodwife Buxton, goodwife Webb and goodwife Emry, testified Martha had been subject to "fainting and swooning fitts, mixed with short distempers of frenzy."
In its findings, the court ruled it could do nothing else but find Martha Mead Richardson "guilty as charged, both of knowne fornication and continewed impudent lying, beeleeuing that no woman can be gotten with child without some knowledg, consent and delight in the acting thereof, and that she deserves to be publiquely and severely corrected by whipping, but considering she is now great with child, and according to testimony apt to fall into the aforementioned fitts, with due respect to her condition it is ordered that tenn pounds be paid as a fine to the jurisdiction within a years time for her heinous miscarriages."
The court acknowledged that "John Richardson, and her brother, Joseph Mead, did before the court as sureties ingage, and entered into a recognizance of fifty pounds for ye same, and vnder the same penalty promised and bound themselues that betwixt this and the court of magistrats in May next, they would bring a satisfying certificate from Roxbury concerning ye death of ye child, both wch being duely pformed their ingagmnt and recognizance are voyd & discharged, but till ten stand in force, and in ye meane time if she duely acknowlege her sinn and truly declare who is ye father of the child, the court will consider of some further mitigation."
Final disposition of the case lingered on through three additional hearings.
On May 28, 1656, Joseph Mead and John Richardson appeared in court at New Haven and acknowledged "payment of the fine of tenn pounds which was not required, but they desired forbearance till next Michaelmas, when they then see it paide." The court granted their request.
On Sept. 27, 1657, William Mead, Martha's father, and his youngest son, John, appeared in court petitioning for abatement of two fines. John had been fined ten pounds in a subsequent slander and harassment action, brought by a Stamford neighbor while the fine against Martha and levied against Joseph Mead and John Richardson remained unpaid.
The court considered both and granted that "half of each should be abated, provided the other half be paid forthwith."
The issue was finally put to rest when Joseph brought in two "milch cowes" which he offered as payment of the fines. The court, following a recess to determine the value of the two cows, argued the "cowes" were worth "only eight pound ten shillings," but "in fauour to them" (Joseph Mead and John Richardson), "the court would accept the cows as payment, and acquit and discharge the fines."
As a tragic aftermath, Martha Mead and John Richardson also lost her second baby, who like the first, died early in its infancy. The Richardsons never had any other children of record and shortly after the case was resolved moved from Stamford to nearby Rye, NY.
Although there is nothing to suggest the events were connected, both Joseph and John also left Stamford in 1657, crossing Long Island Sound to become involved in the founding of the town of Hemstead, Long Island. However they liked Connecticut better and two years later returned with their families - not to Stamford, but to its next door neighbour, the new settlement of Hogs Neck, later to be known as Greenwich.
William Mead and his wife, Philippa, remained in Stamford where they lived on the west side of West Street. Philippa died in 1657, possibly during an outbreak of malaria. An epidemic is suspected because records show only 16 deaths the entire year of 1657. Eleven of them occurred during the period between July 21 and Sept. 19.
William, the founding father of the family passed away in 1663, apparently of natural causes. However, neither of his two sons, Joseph and John - nor his daughter, Martha, ever returned to live in Stamford.
There was early speculation that William and Philippa had a fourth child, who died in 1657. There is no evidence of such a birth by Philippa and, in fact, it may have been Martha's second child, who was born in 1655, and died young.
Mead-e Family Tree Editor's Note: There is recent information that Mary and John Richardson did live in Westchester county, New York, and had three children, all girls. The three were Bethia, born 1654, and married to John Katcham; Mary, born1655, and married Joseph Hadley, and Elizabeth, born 1656, and married to Gabriel Leggett. As we know from the court records above, Mary was in trial in New Haven in Oct. 1854 and was pregnant at the time. Thus, it is possible, although not proved, that Mary's second child did live and was named Bathia. John Richardson died in 1679 and Martha remarried Capt. Thomas Williams. They had no children.

10092 The various theories proposed to explain either who Keziah, wife of Edmund Freeman (b. 1683), was or why she named a son Skeffe all fall apart upon examination, except one: Robert Wakefield's proposal that she was the same Keziah who was Stephen Skeffe's granddaughter, born out of wedlock to Stephen's daughter Deborah, later the wife of Stephen Presbury. It is the only explanation which satisfies all the evidence - the names, dates, and geographical location all align.

Edmund Freeman's wife Keziah's maiden surname of Presbury (published in 1858 and derived from older relatives that knew relatives living in Keziah's lifetime) was the married surname of Deborah (Skiffe) Presbury, Keziah's proposed mother. Mrs. Keziah Freeman herself could not have been any clearer about her ancestry with her choise of names for her children: Lydia,Stephen,Deborah, Skeffe, and Abigail.

There was no Sarah Skeffe to marry into the Freeman family behind the ancestry of Edmund Freeman (born 1683), and thus Dkeffe as a given name could only have come into the Freeman family via Keziah. Keziah doesn't fit anywhere into a Presbury family. She is not in the will of Stephen Presbury, who clearly identified his offspring, so she is not his daughter.

As Keziah was the daughter of Deborah, then it is not unreasonable that she was known (or remembered) by her mother's married name. Keziah in Stephen Skeffe's will is not given a surname, but it might well have been common knowledge that she was Deborah's daughter. The earliest source of Keziah's surname being Presbury dates from 1858, almost certainly derived from Keziah's granddaughter Agibail (Freeman) Hovey passed to her son-in-law Daniel Moulton. Abigail may have also assumed her grandmother's maiden name was Presbury, as this was the surname of Keziah's young (half) siblings. Keziah may have been born "Keziah Skiffe" (or even had the surname of her natural father), but given her mother's marriage to Stephen Presbury, and Keziah's younger Presbury siblings, later generations may have remembered her surname to match those of her immediate family.

Keziah, the wife of Edmund Freeman, must be the daughter of Deborah (Skeffe) Presbury and an unknown father, and the granddaughter of Stephen and Lydia (Snow) Skeffe, and thus a "Mayflower" descendant of Richard Warren.

MOTOR BIKE KILLS FRED M. SLAWSON

Register of Deeds Victim of Fast Driving Prevailing at the Five Points.

Consciousness Not regained.

Victim Struck Unawares by Charles Stubbs' Machine and Death Resulted Three Hours Later.

In full view of scores of persons who were passing the Five Points about 6 o'clock last Thursday evening Fred M. Slawson, register of deeds, was struck by a motorcycle going ten or twelve miles an hour, and injured so badly that he died three hours later.

Mr. Slawson was attempting to cross Broadway from the building formerly occupied by the Brehm clothing department to the Kimbll jewelry store. There were two livery automobiles standing against the curb, and he passed between them. As he emerged in the street the motorcycle, carrying Stubbs and Arthur Martin, bore down on him. The cycle was running in the car track and Stubbs said he tried to pull it out, but that the rails held it straight ahead.

CRASHED INTO VICTIM

In an instant the crash came. Mr. Slawson was knocked several feet along the pavement. The cycle overturned. When friends reached Mr. Slawson he was found to be unconscious. An examination by a physician showed that the victim had sustained two fractures of the leg, one of the arm and one of the skull.
Stubs was thrown to the pavement and fainfully bruised and his riding companion somewhat hurt.
As soon as the extent of the injuries to Mr. Slawson was comprehended aid was summoned and he was removed to his home, 108 Broadway. Every possible thing was done to bring him back to consciousness, but Mr. Slawson died at 9 o'clock. Without question he never comprehended what had happened nor suffered any physical pain. His daughter, Mrs. E.R. Dickerson, and many personal friends were gathered at the home when the end came.

MOTORCYCLE DRIVER ARRESTED

Young Stubbs was taken to the county jail. A charge of assault without regard for human life was lodged against him. Relatives appeared and furnished bond about 8 o'clock, before the death of Mr. Slawson occurred. he was brought into court Friday morning and the case was adjourned a week, pending inquiry by the coroner. No increase in bail nor change in charge was made.
Stubbs said he was riding at a moderate speed and did not see Mr. Slawson until he emerged from between the two cars. the motorcycle was then within a few feet of the spot where the collision took place.

RULE FOR INSERT
Mr. Slawson was 64 years of age. he had been connected with the office of the register of deeds for nineteen years. Two years ago he was elected register. He resided here all his life, excepting for about ten years when he was a resident of Fond du Lac. He was well known throughout the county, and respected and admired by a host of friends here in the city.
Surviving are Mrs. Earl Dickerson, a daughter; Charles , a son, and Miss Augusta A. Slawson a sister who teaches in the Milwaukee schools.

FUNERAL ON SUNDAY
the funeral for Mr. Slawson was held on Sunday at the Masonic Temple. The services there followed the ritual of the Knights Templar and the service at the grave was according to the Blue Lodge ritual. W.W. Perry of Milwaukee, secretary of the Masonic Grand Lodge, delivered the funeral sermon. Hundreds were present and viewed the remains which were exposed at the Temple.
The bearers were C.A. Haertel, E. J. Evans, John Rodgers, George B. Harris., H.E. Blair and A.S. Putney, Sr.

CARRIED ACCIDENT INSURANCE
It was learned this week that Mr. Slawson had carried an accident insurance policy for $5,000 in one of the companies handled by Chauncey Fraser, and the estate will benefit to that extent within a few days. the Policy was taken out in 1913. Mr. Slawson was also a member of fraternal insurance order in this city.
