She acted as administrator of her husband's estate. in 1776 she petitioned for a license to retail at her ship on Ann street. In 1781 she was licensed to sell tea.

9556 She may have married here and had children (Bradford's Hist 446). Eugene Stratton speculated in 'Plymouth Colony, Its History & People, 1620-1691", 288, that she might be Elizabeth, wife of SAMUEL EDDY; Clifford L. Stott in TG 10: 138-49, speculates that she may, alternatively, have returned to Watford from Leiden and m. there. ROGERS, Elizabeth (I98075)
 
9557 She never married. SLAWSON, Rue (I52189)
 
9558 She never married. After the death of her parents she lived for a time in the old homestead, as provided in her father's will, but subsequently moved into New Bedford to reside at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sylvia Grinnell. Her death took place in a house at the corner of Spring and Eighth streets, where she passed her last days.

Aunt Desire, as she is affectionately recalled by several of the elder generation, is described as a little woman, of a cheery and kindly disposition, and a favorite with all. A grand-niece, who reluctantly gave up a cherished ambition to attend dancing school, as contrary to the tenets of the Friends, tells with pleasure that she was rewarded by the Quaker Aunt Desire with the gift of some silver spoons and a bank book opening an account of ten dollars. "for being a good girl." In her will, executed three weeks before her death, Miss Howland remembered various relatives with bequests of furniture, silver spoons and other personal belongings, and cash, and also set aside one hundred dollars for the benefit of any relative in want. Her nephew, Edward W. Howland, was appointed executor. After a lapse of more than sixty-eight years, several of her legatees still survive.

Miss Howland was a regular attendant at the Howland family gatherings held for a number of years at Round Hills, where she and her venerable brother-in-law, Uncle Grinnell (they pronounced it as if spelled "Grinnle"), were conspicuous figures. On one of these occasions she was invited by Edward W. Howland to sign the family register, in the following words: "Aunt Desire, I desire thee to write thy name." "Oh, Edward, thou art always making puns about my name," was laughing rejoinder. At the reunion of August, 1850, tributes were read to the memory of Captain Grinnell and Miss Howland, whose deaths had not long since taken place, less than three months apart. One of the memorialists (whose names unfortunately have not come down to us), wrote of Miss Howland as follows:
"Our beloved Aunt Desire Howland was the sixth daughter of her parents, and her nephews and nieces love to recall to mind the days of their childhood when spending their vacations at the Round Hills how pleasantly she endured their childish freaks and gently reproved the naughty and refractory urchin; being the only unmarried child and long a resident here, her patience was well tested from the care she extended from the oldest to the youngest of the grandchildren, all of whom can testify to her kindness. Soon after the death her parents she became one of the family of her brother-in-law (our late beloved Uncle Grinnell), with whom she resided seventeen years, and survived him ten weeks.

"Tho' the patrimony received from her parents was small, yet being judiciously economized she ever made a respectable appearance, and withheld not her mite from the widow and the orphan; she was independent of the pecuniary aid of others, and may the example she has set before us long live in our remembrance, of a wise and judicious distribution of her little property, parcelling it out in small sums where she thought it would be useful. When taken sick she was impressed with the belief she should not recover and having arranged her business satisfactorily, her mind appeared centered on the goodness, love and mercy of her Holy Redeemer."

Another writer said in part:
"She preferred a state of single blessedness to matrimonial bonds, rejecting several suitors for her hand upon the ground of contentedness with her present home. Her family attachments were strong and manifested to the last moments of life, and those of her connexions who with unwearied kindness ministered to her every want during her hours of suffering will not soon forget her grateful acknowledgment of their attentions, nor will they lose the sure reward bestowed by Him who has sanctioned family ties and has said by the mouth of his servant, the Psalmist, 'Behold how good and how pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.'"

It is believed that one of these tributes was from the pen of Hon. George Howland Jr., secretary of the Howland family reunions, by whom they were entered on the records. 
HOWLAND, Desire (I92655)
 
9559 She probably married here and had children (Bradford's Hist 446). ROGERS, Margaret (I98076)
 
9560 She returned with her father to England in 1641 and likely married there. HUMPHREY, Elizabeth (I100583)
 
9561 She returned with her husband Herbert Pelham and their children in the ship "Supply" on 9 Nov 1646. "On the 25th of August, 1659, letters to administer the estate of Elizabeth, late of Ferriers, in Bures, co. Essex, were granted by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, to her husband Herbert Pelham. She immigrated in Oct 1635 to Boson (with her husband Roger Harlakenden). BOSVILE, Elizabeth (I73974)
 
9562 She was a single woman of Halifax in March 1738/9 when convicted of fornication and having a bastard child "born 18 February last." On 23 Jan 1742, Katherine confessed her fornication before the Halifax church, was baptized, and owned the covenant Her dau. Margaret was also baptized. On 17 April 1743, she was restored to full communion by the Halifax Church. This reconciliation was apparently too soon for James Snow, who was suspended from communion 17 April 1746 for not giving "Kath:Curtis sufficient satisfaction for putting her by from ySacrament." More than two years later, on 25 Sept. 1748, James Snow made a public confession "of his wrong dealing in objecting against (Kath) Curtis & putting her by from the Sacrament without Grounds," based on which he was restored to communion. On 6 Nov 1754, Caty Curtis received L10.16.3 from the estate of Francis Curtis. On 25 Jan. 1755, Catherine Curtis and her child were warned from Pembroke, having arrived from Halifax one month earlier. Her efforts from 1769 to 1772 to take care of her sister Hannah are described in Hannah's paragraph above. the selectmen of Halifax were instructed to care of Catherine Curtis at a town meeting of 8 July 1776. On 17 March 1777, the town voted that Eleazer Waterman should take care of Catherine Cortis for one year and L11.1.4. On 2 march 1778, support of Cate Curtis was given to Giles Leach for three months. On 11 May 1778, Henry Munro agreed to keep her for half a year. She must have died not long thereafter, for on 17 Nov. 1778, Henry Munro was voted L 10 "for keeping Cate Cortis three weeks and for her Funeral Charges.

Having provided a his own expense a fount of type, and procured funds in England and Holland for a printing establishment, he made an agreement, 7 June 1638, with Stephen Daye to superintend it, and took passage on board the "John of London", with his family, together with Daye, and three persons to work at the printing, besides others, among whom are said to have been Ezekiel Rogers and the emigrants who settled at Rowley."

9581 She was the daughter of Robert Holt and Mildred Stanfield, originally of Halifax county, Virginia. On 24 August 1806 Elizabeth married Timothy Meigs at Fort Southwest Point, a federal frontier outpost at what is now Kingston, TN. He was the son of Grace Starr Meigs & Return Jonathan Meigs who held the first appointment as Cherokee Agent and Agent of the War Department for Tennessee.

Elizabeth & Timothy lived in the home of the agent in present day Rhea county. When Grace Starr Meigs died on 10 Oct 1807, Elizabeth Holt Meigs became the hostess for the Agency. By this time her husband was acting as his father's clerk. By 1811 he had entered management of the factory that was the officially recognized supplier of goods to the indians and military personnel in the area. Shortly before he died he took a partner, John Ross, who later became the principal Chief of the Cherokees.

Elizabeth was unique in her involvement in a large, complex movement, one that receives little note as its outcome was utterly shameful. Her husband died 16 October 1815 following a brief illness. She & her 5 children continued to live with Return Meigs until his death. As an older woman, she lived with her daughter, Elizabeth Jane Hawk.

9582 She was the daughter of William Woodward, who appeared as a headright in four early patens for land in Virginia. William Woodward may have gained his reputation, as an Indian interpreter, through some business association with Abraham Wood, Thomas Stegge and/or William Byrd, all of whom were merchants who traded with the Indians. he patented 3,000 acres of land in New Kent County, of which 2,100 acres were purchased on 27 Sep 1664 from Cocka Coeske, Queen of the Pamunkey Indian tribe. WOODWARD, Martha (I100619)
 
9583 She was the first wife of Reverend Samuel Seabury (1706-1764) and she was the mother of Bishop Samuel Seabury (1729-1796).

Her dates of birth and death come from the "Mayflower Families through Five Generations" publication (family of John Alden) by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Several considerations lead to the conclusion that she was buried underneath St. James Episcopal Church in New London. (1) According to the "Memoir of Bishop Seabury"(1908), in the early history of the Parish the custom prevailed of burying the dead beneath the Church.(2) Her funeral took place in New London. Her funeral on May 10, 1731 is mentioned in the "Diary of Joshua Hempstead of New London Connecticut" and (3) Her husband was the rector of the Episcopal Church at the time of her death.

9591 Sheriffs of the County

The first Sheriff of Pocahontas county was Oscar Slosson, who was elected March 15, 1859. On Jan. 1, 1860, Henry Jarvis succeeded him and being re-elected in 1861, 1864 (for one year - an unexpired term) and in 1865, filled that office seven years, 1860 to 163, and 1865 to 1867. For the term commencing Jan. 1, 1864, he was not a candidate, and Abiel Stickney, who had been elected, having resigned the office March 21, 1864, Edward Hammond, by appointment of the board of supervisors on that date, performed the duties of that office until the end of that year.
It is of interest to note that Abiel Stickney was the one candidate in this county who was elected by the soldier vote. At the general election of Oct. 13, 1863, the home vote for the candidates for sheriff was as follows: John A. James, 16 votes; Abiel Stickney, 14, and John A. James was declared elected by a majority of two votes. But one month later when the four soldier votes were canvassed and all of them were in favor of Stickney, they gave him a majority of two votes and he was then declared elected.
On Jan. 1, 1868, Oscar Slosson became the successor of Henry Jarvis, and being re-elected in 1869, served four years, 868 to 1871. At the general election held in the fall of 1867, the contest for sheriff became a very spirited one and each of the candidates, Oscar Slosson and George Spragg, received 50 of the 100 votes polled in the county at that election. On drawing cuts the tie was decided in favor of Oscar Slosson.

Pioneer Period, 1855 to 1869 - Other important events

At their meeting held Jan. 2, 1865, the board agreed yo pay a bounty of $900 to each volunteer who would enter the army or navy of the United States, and the later records show hat Dennis Quigley and Thos. Quigley were recipients of this special bounty. This volunteer 'bounty' fund was raised by an assessment of four mills on the dollar during the year of 1865. A soldiers' 'relief' fund of two mills on the dollar had been raised for the benefit of those who had enlisted at the beginning of the war, namely:
A.H. Malcom
Oscar Slosson
Chas. W. Jarvis
W.S. Fegles
Henry Cooper
Henry Tilley
Hiram Evans
John Gayler
Andrew Mills

'For those true men who fought to lift
Our country's banner high in air,
Wreaths of lilies we weave and bring
Roses and star-eyed pansies fair.'

During the war, Pocahontas county furnished eleven men, which was one-third of the able-bodies residents of the county at the time. This was her full quota and there was no need of a resort to a draft.

Four of those named above, namely A.H. Malcolm, Henry Cooper, Hiram Evans and Oscar Slosson enlisted at the same time - Sept 2, 1861, at Fort Dodge - and became members of Co. A, 11th Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Capt. Franklin A. Stratton, of Fort Dodge. This company went by stage to Cedar Falls, the nearest railroad station, and in due season arrived at Dubuque where they were mustered in, September 21st, following.

9598 Shirley Mae Woolheater Bouton
HALCOTT CENTER _ Shirley Mae Woolheater Bouton, died peacefully on Friday, Jan. 28, 2011, at her home surrounded by her family.
On or about Sept. 11, 1922, a baby girl was found on the roof of an apartment building on the Upper West Side of New York City. The baby was taken to Bellevue Hospital, given the name 'Susan' and put up for adoption through The Sophia Fund, a NYC Adoption Agency. At the same time, Wilbur and Mary Woolheater of Delaware County were grieving the loss of their infant daughter, Madeline, who had only lived 12 hours. Wilbur journeyed to New York City in hopes of finding a baby to adopt. It was there that he was presented with the baby girl who had been found on the rooftop.
On Sept. 22, 1922, 'Susan' became Shirley Mae and she was brought home by train from New York City to Fleischmanns.
Shirley attended Clovesville School through eighth grade. She attended Roxbury High School and graduated at age 15.
Through the years, Shirley had several jobs that all involved hard work including milking cows, doing laundry, being a waitress, hanging wallpaper, and working at boarding houses.
During World War II, Shirley worked at Maye's Mill in Fleischmanns. It was the first time the mill hired women.
On May 17, 1940, Shirley came to Halcott Center, where she met Donald Bouton. They were married on May 17, 1945.
Halcott Center would be the Bouton's permanent home where they had a dairy farm for 14 years and raised Herefords for 12 years after that. Shirley worked for the Town of Halcott serving as school director for one term, Deputy Town Clerk for 20 years and Town Supervisor for 9 ? years. While she was Supervisor, Shirley was responsible for pioneering several community programs one of which included transportation for seniors. Prior to that program she helped by taking her neighbors to their doctor appointments in the family's 49' Chevy. She persuaded the Meals-on-Wheels folks to service the Valley. Although they would only come as far as the Greene Co. Line, she would meet the meals at the county line and get them delivered. Shirley was a member of the Halcott United Methodist Church, and the Halcott Ladies Aid. Shirley was a member of the Greene Valley Grange #881, and was at one time, lecturer for Pamona Grange. She served as Grange Chaplain, and as an annual delegate to the NYS Grange where she was instrumental in forging a grass roots effort to map-out fire numbers for the homes long before it caught on. She was also a member of the National Grange. Although Shirley was active in community service, she refused to
'play politics'. Shirley was endorsed by both Democrats and Republicans and always registered as an Independent.
Shirley was predeceased by her parents, Wilbur and Mary Rose Woolheater, a sister Madeline, and a brother Robert.
Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Donald W. Bouton; a son Dennis and his wife Jennifer Bouton of Halcott Center; a daughter Mary (Bouton) Konstantine and her husband Philip of Oneonta,; Grandchildren: Jamie (Bouton) Volger and her husband Mark of Margaretville, Lucas and Marshall Bouton of Halcott Center, and Jenna Mae and Sophia Rose Konstantine of Oneonta; several nieces and nephews and many, many friends.
Shirley was an excellent seamstress, making clothes for several members. She also knitted many sweaters and mittens. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. Shirley loved the color red, Cardinals and Black-Eyed Susans. During her later years in life, she found much joy in watching the birds, appreciating the changing colors of the seasons and marveling at beautiful sunsets.
Shirley had a strong faith that was her comfort and strength throughout her life, which included years of cancer. She spent much of her time praying for others. Never fearing death, she often said that when the Lord was ready, she was ready. She will be remembered for her keen sense of humor, being an excellent listener and her refusal to hold a grudge.
Although Shirley loved flowers, she was saddened when she saw flowers 'left over' after a funeral. The family suggests memorial contributions may be made to the Halcott Methodist Church, the American Cancer Society, or plant a Black-eyed Susan in her memory, enjoy it, and remember Shirley, an inspiring woman who was thankful for every day.
The Service to Celebrate the Life of Shirley Will be held on Tuesday at 11 am at the Halcott Methodist Church, with Peg VanSiclen as celebrant. Spring interment will be in the Halcott Cemetery. Friends will be received on Monday from 2-4 and 7-9pm at the E.B.Gormley Funeral Home 87 Main St. Phoenicia.
