451	"Simon Lobdell and his Descendants": Ebenezer was evidently a man of property. History says that he was one of the principal inhabitants of Ridgefield 1784. In 1743 he bought from the heirs of his father the property that was formerly the property of Simon Lobdell. In 1751 Ridgefield court granted him license to keep public house and sell strong drinks. (Fairfield Co. court records).	LOBDELL, Ebenezer (I69493)
452	"Simon Lobdell and his Descendants": Jacob Lobdell, a farmer, b. about 1756, d. at North Salem, NY 27 Feb 1834. He m. for his first wife, at Ridgefield, conn., 11 Dec 1783 Betty Whitney, b. 16 July 1757 at Ridgefield, d. at North Salem, 8 May 1795, dau. of Richaard and Esther (Clark) Whitney. Mr. Lobdell resided on the farm left him by his father and was closely identified with St. James Church, of which we find him vestryman at different times. Jacob m. for his second wife, rebecca, b. 4 April 1773, second dau. and eighth child of John and Deborah (Brush) Morehouse of New Milford (the part which is now Brookfield), Conn. Her parents were probably of Ridgefield before settling in New Milford, 1769 or 70. The name of Jacob Lobdell is recorded as a private in Nov., 1781, in Capt Ephram Lockwood's company, belonging to Fourth Westchester County Regiment of the State Militia, commanded by Col. Thaddeus Crane; also that said regiment was employed in active service in the Revolutionary War.	LOBDELL, Jacob (I69518)
453	"Simon Lobdell and his Descendants": Joshua, an only son, b. at Springfield, Mass., 23 Dec 1671, m. for his first wife at Milford, Conn. 11 Aug. 1695 - Gov. Robert Treat performing the ceremony - Mary, dau. of John and Alice Burwell, early settlers of Milford. upon one of the stones of "Memorial Bridge" at Milford, is carved the name of the father of Mary. No record can be found of her death, but perhaps it occurred soon after the firth of her dau., Susannah, who was bapt. 5 March 1710, and on 9 April, 1710, Simon Lobdell, then an old man, was admitted to the First Church of Milford....... (The following item of Joshua is contributed by Mr. Henry Lobdell of Salem Center, who is now living on part of the original farm in the manor of Cortland, Westchester Co., NY, leased by his great grandfather - Ebenezer Lobdell before the Revolution - of Stephen De Lancey, and afterward purchased by him at sheriff's sale." "After the death of Mary, Joshua, with his children moved to the town of Ridgefield, Conn., 'in 1712, in which year on 3 March, he bought of James Brown of Norwalk, Conn., one twenty-ninth part of the town of Ridgefield. (the above James Brown was one of the original proprietors who purchased of the Indians, in1708, all that land, now called Ridgefield.) during the succeeding twenty or thirty years Joshua was continually adding to his estate by purchase from the proprietors or their grantors. The date of the death of Joshua cannot be determined from Ridgefield records but it must have occurred before 31 Oct. 1743, as on that date, Caleb agrees to assume the support of his mother, Eunice, widow of Joshua Lobdell (deceased), late of Ridgefield". From Burt's first century of Springfield, Mass.: "In 1743 a deed in Book S. Springfield records mentions - "Samuel Lobdell; Caleb and John Lobdell; Jabez Northrup and wife Sarah; Seaborn Burt and wife Susannah - all of Ridgefield, Conn. Samuel Plum and wife Mary, of Derby, Conn., and Joshua Lobdell of Cortlandt Manor, NY, to Ebenezer Lobdell of Ridgefield, Conn., all interest in estate of our father Joshua - and land that formerly belonged to Simon Lobdell, formerly of Springfield, Mass." About 1713 Joshua m. for his second wife, Eunice, dau. of Lieut. John Olmstead and his wife Mary Benedict of Norwalk, Conn. Eunice was b. about 1689, and was aunt of Rebecca St. John, who married Samuel, eldest child of Joshua and Mary (Burwell) Lobdell.	LOBDELL, Joshua (I69497)
454	"Simon Lobdell and His Descendants": Joshua, b. March 1703; m. Mary, dau. of Joseph Reynolds of Ridgefield. They resided in Ridgefield, for several years after marriage, presumably after1730 (?) they moved over the line - from Ridgefield, into Courtland Manor - North Salem, Westchester Co., NY state. Joshua was Capt. of Westchester co. Militia Company for several years, and many of his company with Joshua as their Capt. volunteered for the French and Indian wars of 1755-60. History records the death of Capt. Joshua, as before 1769 - probably in 1767 - as on that date his son, Joshua, third, was appointed administrator of his estate His widow survived him, residing in Courtland Manor in 1768 at which time a deed is recorded at Ridgefield in which she joins with her children in selling land in Ridgefield to john Whitlock of Ridgefield....	LOBDELL, Joshua II (I69522)
455	"Simon Lobdell and His descendants": The name of "Simon Lobdell" appears among the "after-planters" names of Milford, Conn. - about forty - a framed list of which is now hanging in the Town Clerk's office at Milford, Conn. My supposition (the author) after much study - is that Simon came as a young lad with one of a party fromHereford, England (a shire in West of England, bordering on Wales) in 1645, at which time history tells us the second party came - that his sisters Ann and Elizabeth came at same time but remained in Boston. From public records at Milford it appears that Simon Lobdell, in 1646, had given him by the "first planters" of the town, for a house lot, a triangular shaped half-acre of ground. A. In 1655 we find his name given as a resident of Milford. He took the freeman's oath at Hartford Conn., May 21, 1657 and was a tax-payer of that place in 1667. A. He went to Springfield, Mass., probably through the influence of his brother-in-laws (his sisters both having married prosperous men of Springfield). There he was prison-keeper from 1666 to 1674, and there he must have accumulated considerable property. B. In 1681 Simon purchased 60 acres (but was not a settler) at Stony River, between Springfield and Windsor, and had interest in Hull, Mass., in 1682. No proof of his marriage or birth of Mary, his first child, has been found, but I assume without proof that he married Persis Pierce, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth Pierce of Charlestown, Mass., and that the families were members of the same party on their way to the new home in New England. Simon returned to Milford, Conn., where his wife Persis was admitted to the First Church of Milford, 7 January, 1677, and on 9 April 1710, Simon united with the same church. At. Milford his children married and there Simon died, previous to 4 Oct. 1717, as on that date, at Probate Court held at New haven, Conn., his son Joshua Lobdell of Ridgefield, Conn., moved for administration on the estate of Simon Lobdell of Milford, lately deceased, which was granted on his bond. The same administrator exhibited a jointure made between the deceased and the widow of full satisfaction....	LOBDELL, Simon (I69500)
456	"Simon Lobdell and His Descendants": When a little child the home was broken up on account of the death of his mother, and like the boys of that time he was encouraged to learn a trade, that of tailor, with his brother Samuel in Ridgefield, Conn. When still a youth he went to California, engaged in mining and late in the clothing business in San Francisco when that city was destroyed by fire 3 May 1851. He lost everything, seeking refuge on the now famous "Nob Hill", where he awoke next morning with but twenty-five cents in his pocket. On returning in 1856 he m. Sarah Eleanor Keeler, b. 11 June, 1832, at Ridgefield, Conn., dau. of Adonirum and Charlotte (Brush) Keeler, and for more than a quarter of a century he labored together with Brokaw Brothers, Astor place, New York City, for the best interests of the clothing business. Mr. Lobdell's quiet attention to his business affairs, his interest in church and Sunday-school work, his complete devotion to his family, his generous hospitality and his attractive personality won for him much love and reverence from all. Although for more than a dozen years removed to the country near the old homeland of his forefathers, he kept in touch with the city of his adoption (New York) by the newspapers, which, as he had a keen appreciation of intellectual attainments, were his daily delight, and which served to kindle afresh the fires of his ardent patriotism. Here in Ridgebury, after a long illness, he died Monday morning, 25 Feb., 1907, leaving his wife and two daughters.	LOBDELL, John (I69508)

466	"The Bingham Family": He and his (second) wife were both alive Aug. 31, 1770, and in "common" good health. 1716 -- The second ecclesiastic Society of Old Norwich was organized in 1716 and located in that part of Norwich called "West Farms." In 1786 this became the town of Franklin. 1718, Dec. 30 -- A Thomas Bingham of Norwich charged the Town L 1.0.8 for bounty on snakes' tails and for drumming. As people were called to church by beat of drum, this is probably what is meant. 1725 -- He was Ensign, 2nd Co., of Train band. 1739 -- He removed from Old Norwich to Franklin, 2nd Society--"West Farms"-- in 1739 and lived in the house where, in 1865, the late Thomas Hyde resided.

467	"The Bingham Family": He and his wife, Ruth, were admitted to the 2nd Church at Norwich-West Farms or Franklin, "by profession," Jan. 4, 1736. He was 2nd Lieut. 8th Co., 2nd Regt, in the French War, 1758, under Capt. John Durkee and Col. Nathan Whiting. Also 1st Lieut., 3rd Co., 4th reg't, under major John Durkee, 1759. They lived at Norwich, where all his children were born, until shortly after the close of the French War, when they removed with their family to Charlemont, Mass., a mountainous town among the spurs of the Green Mts., some 30 miles south-east of Bennington, Vermont. About 1773 his youngest sons, Jeremiah and Calvin, went to Bennington and purchased a farm, partly cleared, on which the frame of a house had been erected and partly finished, and they, soon after, with their aged parents, removed thither. Deacon Joseph, when a young man, was possessed of uncommon muscular strength and was exceedingly quick in his movements. He was full six feet two inches tall, not fleshy, had a keen, penetrating eye and an indomitable will. He was an officer in the "old French War" and commanded a company at Ticonderoga. He was of eminent piety and great benevolence - a member of the church and deacon for many years. Social and affectionate in disposition, his conversation abounded in moral and religious instruction; and was eminently scriptural and spiritual. He was a man of prayer and had great trust in its efficacy. He lived within two miles of the ground where the battle of Bennington was fought, on Saturday, Aug. 16, 1777, and was prevented from being there by a broken hip . His son, Jeremiah, was in the battle; but Calvin, that morning, removed his aged and infirm parents to the center of the town, where were collected most of the aged men with the women and children. During the day Deacon Joseph called the people to the church and prayed fervently.	BINGHAM, Joseph (I69672)
468	"The Bingham Family": He took care of his father and mother in their old age, succeeding to the ownership of the homestead, which at his death went to his son Elijah, who sold it off and went to new Hampshire in 1773-4. The Homestead was soon in the hands of strangers and has remained so ever since. Aug. 20, 1740, Joseph Bingham was one of a committee of three to receive from the Colony of Connecticut, funds allotted to Windham as damages for taking away Rev. Mr. Clap to be President of Yale College. He was a deacon and a quiet, pious man. the inscription on his tombstone is "Here lies the body of the dearly beloved & godly man, Joseph Bingham, who fell asleep in Jesus 4 Sep., 1765 in the 78th year of his age."	BINGHAM, Joseph (I69917)
469	"The Bingham Family": Lived first as Lebanon, where he was in 1707. Then removed to Windham, where on May 4, 1711, his father gave him a farm of 81 acres on the east side of Merrick's brook in Scotland (Third Society). In Oct. 1731, Nathaniel and his son Isaac were among the petitioners for a separate religious society at Scotland. In 1732, Nathaniel was one of the committee appointed by the people of Scotland to provide a minister and was then called "Sergeant." He was one of the original members of the Scotland church or Third Society, organized Oct. 22, 1735; and was chosen one of its first deacons, Nov. 19, 1735. In 1740 Deacon nathaniel Bingham had leave to build a "pew, at the west end of the pulpit, next the stairs." He was influential in town affairs and was evidently one of the substantial men of the Third Society. His property was inventoried at L132.09.06.	BINGHAM, Deacon Nathaniel (I70471)
470	"The Chandler Family" - Col. Joshua Chandler Jr., Esq and Sarah Miles, New Haven, Conn., dau. of Joseph, son of John, son of Richard Miles. Sarah Miles, b. 6 Oct. 1722; d. ? She lived only about two weeks after the family arrived in the Provinces. She was a delicate person, and suffered much on the passage there. He was graduated at Y.C. 1747, being ranked the thirteenth in the class of twenty-nine, in "dignity of family." He settled at New Have in the practice of the law, and his house stood where the Tontine Hotel was afterwards built. The Chandler house, moved off, was afterwards the residence of Rev. Dr. L. Bacon. The original site of the house was the north part of the "Matthew Gilbert Lot." It came to Mr. Chandler from timothy Alling. He and his son-in-law, Amos Botsford, who lived on the rear of it, owned the whole of that square. he owned the Avery estate at New Haven, and also a salt marsh farm, five or six miles out from New Haven, near which passes the railroad. He got about a hundred Frenchmen from the Provinces to dyke it. This is still called the "Chandler Farm." At a town meeting at New Haven, 23 May 1774, Joshua Chandler Esq., was placed first on a Committee of eighteen, "of Correspondence for the Public Safety." He was a member of the Legislature of Conn. 1775. But he was soon suspected of loyalty, and was sent to North Haven as a prisoner b the Whigs of New Haven. Like many of his relatives in the country who held offices in the colonies under the King, he was loyal to the mother country; and when New Haven was invaded by the British troops under Major-Gen. Wm. Tryon on Monday, at noon, 5th July, 1779, while the Whigs were celebrating their independence from the mother country, they were piloted in by two of the sons of Mr. Chandler. Now the crisis had come, he could no longer remain neutral. But the next morning, while he was preparing an entertainment for his "friends", Gen. Tryon told him that he could not hold the place, for the militia were fast gathering. The outposts were called in, and the enemy retreated, taking some of the prominent citizens prisoners, and others of them as friends. Mr. Chandler and his family went off as friends and so sudden was the departure that Gov. Baldwin, who was then a boy, said afterward he remembered going into Mr. Chandler's house on the morning after they left, and there seeing the table spread for a large company, and the viands all untouched. His son John, if he left at all, soon returned to New Haven. While on Long Island, 10 Feb. 1782, he, with others addressed "Mr. Rivington, acting Deptuy Inspector General of Refugees on the Island" and stated that "we were driven from our respective homes, having left our property in the country," etc. His property in and near New Haven, Conn., which he valued at L30,000 was confiscated under the agency of Charles Chauncy, Esq., of New Haven. Joshua Candler settled at Annapolis, Nova Scotia, on the South Shore of the Bay of Fundy. "The landing of the Loyalities, May 18, 1783, "is one of the remarkable events noticed in teir registers ad that day as it returns is still celebrated by a salute of cannon firing, at noon. Charles Chauncy exhibited the inventory of his estate 1 Apr. 1781, L8,755; 8s.:1 1/2 d. It was solf for L8,050:1s.;2d. Col. Chandler had a large property at New Haven, which he was forced to leave. He sailed for England to see about a remuneration for his loss. commissions were appointed to adjust the claims of the loyalists. He returned to Annapolis' and, on that fatal March of 1787, he, with his daughter Elizabeth, and son William Chandler took all their books, papers and evidence of their colonial property, and sailed across the Bay for St. John, New Brunswick, to meet the Commissioners, to prove their titles and their losses, and to get their claims allowed. but the vessel in a violent snow storm missing the harbor, was driven on the rocks on Musquash Point, within about nine miles of St. John. His son william, hoping to secure the vessel, fastened a rope around his body and jumped overboard to swim to the land, but he was immediately crushed between the vessel and the rocks, and was drowned. This was on the 9th of March, 1787. Col.Chandler, his daughter Elizabeth, and others, finally got ashore. But they were miles from any dwelling and the weather severe. It is said he urged his daughter to leave him and make her way to some house, but that she refused to leave her father. He then climbed a high point of the rocks for a look-out, from which, being so benumbed with cold, he fell and soon died. The others, his daughter and Mrs. Grant, after wandering about in the woods perished on the 11th March, 1787. Their bodies were found and carried to St. John, N.B. and buried in the old burying ground at the head of King Street. After about seventy years their remains were sought for, but only the smallest portion of the larger bones were found. These were "carefully depsited in the lot of Amos Botsford, Esq., in the "Rural Cemetery," the new and beautiful Woodside grounds at St. John. the old slate-stone slabs - about two by three feet - were laid aganst the embankment fo the Botsford lot; the letters of the inscription having been cut deeper by the pious order of his descendants. Under the "death's head," with rays and wings, is the following inscription: Here lyeth the Bodies of Col. Joshua Chandler, Aged 61 years And William Chandler, His Son Aged 29 years, who were Ship wreck'd on their passage from Dighy to St. John on the Night of the 9th day of March 1787 & perished in the Woods on the 11th of said Month. Here lyeth the Bodies of Mrs. Sarah Granat Aged 38 Years Widow of the late Major Alex Grant; & Miss Elizabeth Chadler aged 27 years, who were shipwreck'd on their passage from Digby to St. John on the Night of th 9th day March 1787 and Perished in the Woods on the 11th of said Month. His son Charles Henry Chandler, soon after the death of his father, then about twenty years old, went to Europe to get the claims of the estgate allowed. e took what evidence of the losses of the amily he could find. He took what evidence of the losses of the family he could find. But they had mostly been lost in the wreck. Charles H. Chandler remained in England a year, trying to get a hearig and to get the claims allowed. The Commissioners at last said to him, "We know your father oshua Chandler was wealthy and had large and just claims, but we do not know how much, and there is no proof of it. We will allow you each, Mrs. Sarah Botsford, Mrs. Mary Upham, Thomas, Samuel and Charles H Chandler, L1,000.".......	CHANDLER, Joshua (I10719)
471	"The Cleveland Genealogy" - Deacon William Cleveland resided first at Norwich, where he learned the trade of silversmith, watch and clockmaker. His farm was on Bean Hill. His jewelry shop, the first house south of the Methodist E. Church, is still remaining, now A.A. Adams' tavern. Here he manufactured spoons; on the back of the handle of which the name CLEVELAND was embossed in bold, handsome letters. Specimens still exist; one of these spoons was presented to his great grand-daughter Ruth, a daughter of President Grover Cleveland; an account of the presentation appeared in '"The Sun, N.Y., Feb 6, 1893" - Soon after marriage he set up in business at Worthington, Massachusetts. He removed to Salem where he remained in business a few years thence went to New York. However, he lived most of his life at Bean Hill, an outskirt of Norwich. He died while visiting Hon. Lewis F. Allen, his son-in-law and cousin as well.	CLEVELAND, Deacon William (I12082)

476	"The Descendants of John Drake of Windsor Connecticut".	Source (S04153)
477	"The Descendants of John Drake of Windsor, Connecticut": The will of Francis Drake of Esher, County Surrey, England, dated 1633, has this bequest: "And unto John Drake my Cozen William Drake's sonne twenty punde to be sent unto him into New England in Comodityes such as my Executor shall thinke fitt" (43 Seager). Mr. henry Waters in his notes upon this will expresses the belief that this refers to John Drake of Windsor, Conn. Vivian in his "Visitations of Devon" makes the same assertion. With two such eminent authorities to support us we may trace the roots of the Drake family tree on English sol back to John of Ashe or even farther if our interest and time permits. Just when John Drake arrived in New England we do not know, but we find his name on a list of those to be made freemen Oct. 19, 1630 (Boston Record Commissioner's Report, Vol. 29, p. 133). For some reason his name does not appear upon any list made in Boston and of his activities during the next few years we know little. In 1637 John Drake's name appears among the forty-six purchasers of Taunton, but his sojourn there must have been very brief for in Matthew Grant's Record of the Church at Windsor, Conn., we find this entry, "Womin admited here - "ould wido Drake. feb. 23. 1639." Just why John Drake's wife (if it was she) should have been called an "ould wido" twenty years before she really became one, is difficult to understand. It is somewhat at variance with the record of her death Oct. 7, 1681, "hir 100 yer of age have liued a wido 22 y()." This record also might tax one's credulity. We gain from Matthew Grant the fact that the Drakes were in Windsor early in the year 1639. John Drake was granted fourteen acres, an homelot with meadow adjoining fro the plantation at Windsor, Conn., Jan. 26, 1640. "Aug. 17, 1659. John Drake Senior dyed accidentaly, as he was Driving a Cart, Loaded with corn, to carry from his house to his son Jacob's the Cattle being 2 oxen and his mare, in the high way against John Griffin's Something Scar'd the Cattle, and they Set a runing, and he Labouring to Stop them, by takeing hold on the mare, was thrown down on his face, and the Cart Wheele went over him: brake one of his Legs and bruised his body, so that he was taken up Dead, being carried into his Daughters house had Life come again, but Dyed in a Short time and was buried on the 18th day of August '59."	DRAKE, John (I19788)
478	"The Descendants of John Drake" - Mary Drake, born May 21, 1674, in Simsbury, Conn. She married Seth Shove, "Teacher of the Work of God." He was the son of Rev. George and Hopestill (Newman) Shove, of Tauton, Mass., where he was born Dec. 10, 1667. He was graduated at Harvard in 1687. Jan. 25, 1691, the town of Simsbury,Conn., voted to settle Mr. seth Shove in the Church at that town. Mr. Shove expressed himself as willing to spend his days with them, but for some reason he was never installed there. In 1695, he removed to Danvury, Conn., was ordained there the following year and remained with the Church in Danbury until his death Oct. 3, 1735. May 1, 1699, Seth Shove, of Danbury, Conn., deeded land in Simsbury to Thomas Barber, Jr. The deed had this proviso, "In case my wife's brother, John Drake, redeem the land when he comes of age, 21 years, the deed is void". Apr. 18, 1711, JohnDrake disclaimed interest. Probably Mary (Drake) Shove's sister Hannah, and her brother John, accompanied her to Danbury. Hannah married there but John returned to Simsbury. Rev. Seth Shove married 2nd, Abigail, daughter of Francis and Hannah (Seymour) Bushnell of Norwalk, Conn. Francis Bushnell's inventory was taken Oct. 1697. Abigail, then under 18, chose John Taylor as her guardian. From this it seems safe to consider the child baptised Nov., 1696, as the daughter of the first wife. The widow Abigail and Seth Shove were appointed Administrators on the estate of rev. Seth Shove. In the distribution, Mary Minor, Hannah Starr and Lydia Bouton are mentioned. There were probably other children. The loss of the early records at Danbury leaves many problems unsettled.....	SHOVE, Seth (I49722)
