52	Elizabeth (Perement) Clason of Stamford, Connecticut, Who Was Tried for Witchcraft, and her Clason Descendants Harlan R. Jessup In 1692, at the same time as the witchcraft hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Clason and Mercy Disborough were tried as witches at the county seat in Fairfield, Connecticut. The case against Elizabeth has been well documented and is briefly summarized in this article. In a booklet dated 1959, which does not mention the case, Robert W. Carder1 summarized the Clason descendants of Elizabeth and her husband Stephen Clason of Stamford. That family summary, somewhat amended, follows the trial summary. The Witchcraft Trial of Elizabeth Clason Katherine Branch, a seventeen-year-old servant of the Clasons?s neighbors Daniel and Abigail Wescot, was subject to convulsive and paralytic seizures, and in the aftermath of several of these she accused Elizabeth, along with Mercy Disborough and several others, of bewitching her. Elizabeth vigorously denied the accusation but acknowledged there had been an ongoing tension between her and Katherine?s mistress, arising from a dispute over the weight of a quantity of spun flax. On another earlier occasion Elizabeth had chastised Mary Newman whose children had stolen some fruit from the Clason orchard. That evening three of the Newman?s sheep had died, and, finding no other cause, some believed them to have been bewitched. In May of 1692 a Court of Inquiry began hearings in Stamford "Upon ye Information & sorrofull complainte of Serjeant Daniel Wescot in Regard of his maide Servant Katherine Branch whom he suspects to be afflicted pr witchcraft." While hearings continued, Elizabeth Clason and Mercy Disborough were held in the county jail at Fairfield until the October conclusion of the trial. In June both Elizabeth and Mercy were put to the water test, being bound hand and foot and pushed into a deep pond or millrace where the guilty were expected to float because of the devil?s aversion to water. This test was already being discredited by New England cleric Increase Mather and by others. Elizabeth being "bownd head & foote & put into the water she swam like a corck & one laboured to pry her into the water & she boyed up like a corck..." On 4 Jun 1692, in Elizabeth?s defense, some seventy-six of her neighbors and friends signed a petition assuring the court that "...we have not known her to be of a contentious frame nor giuen to use threatening words or to act maliciously towards her neighbors but hath bene siuil and orderly...and not to be a busybody..." The special court, headed by Governor Robert Treat, was convened in Fairfield on 14 Sep 1692, and their formal indictment reads in part: "Elizabeth Clawson is complayned of & accused as Guilty of witchcraft...for that on the 25th of Aprill ...& at sundry other times she hath by the Instigation & help of the divell...afflicted & don harme to the bodye & estates of sundry of [their Majesties?] subjects..." The court heard evidence for several days, but after long deliberation the jury was unable to reach a conclusion in either case. The court reconvened on 28 October and, after additional testimony and further examination for ?witchmarks,? the jury found Elizabeth not guilty and she was freed, returning to her family in Stamford where she lived another 22 years to age 83. The jury found Mercy Disborough guilty and maintained this conclusion even after reconsideration. Apparently alarmed by the possibility of an execution, Governor Treat appointed a special committee, which reported in May 1693 that they had reprieved Mercy Disborough. Their report admonished against further such trials stating that "...the miserable toyl they are in in the Bay [Massachusetts] for Adhereing to those last mentioned Litigious things is warning enof, those that wil make witchcraft of such things wil make hanging work apace...."

He subscribed 2s to the major Denison fund, Dec. 19, 1648. the same year, 648, Feb. 8, he sold his farm in Ipswich, 32 acres, for L5 to Thomas Safford, but this does not mean that he left Ipswich then, for the same year he bought of Daniel Ladd, of Haverhill, "house and land on High St. in Ipswich," and twelve years later, Aug. 30, 1660, Henry Kingsbury andSusan his wife, of Ipswich, sold to Robert Lord their House and Land on High Street for two Oxen in hand - L5 to be paid Robert Paine and 40s to Edmund Bridges.

Henry Kingsbury was one of the inhabitants of Ipswich who signed a petition, May 17, 1658, stating tat they have all taken toe oath of fidelity, but are not freemen. They claim the right to cote in town affairs, which had been questioned in town meeting. ( There was some relationship between Henry Kingsbury and John Gage, who was a neighbor of Kingsbury at Ipswich, and afterwards at Rowley... Savage states that John Gage came from County Suffolk in the fleet with Winthrop. He, too, went with the younger Winthrop to Ipswich, and then removed about 1662 to that part of Rowley afterwards Bradford, and was again a neighbor of Kingsbury. Gage deposed in 1662 that he was aged about 58, therefore a somewhat older man than Kingsbury. His first wife was Amee, who died in June, 1658. Either she was Kingsbury's sister, or Kingsbury married Gage's sister. Gage died March 24, 1672/3; his will mentions wife Sarah, five sons and one grandson. Henry Kingsbury was one of the appraisers of John Gage's estate, March 26, 1673, and also of Jonathan Gage's estate, March 15, 1674/5. Susanna, wife of Henry Kingsbury, died in Haverhill, February 21, 1678/9. he died in Haverhill, October 1, 1687.

At age 22 years William Joyner removes from the Boston area to New London, CT. "The Diary of Joshua Hempstead of New London, Connecticut, 1711-1758." Hempsted who was a shipwright, carpenter, lawyer, and surveyor and was acquainted with 'Will' Joyner writes several accounts in his Diary.

80	Wilmot Spofford Ames states that John Ames of New London was born at Woburn, Middlesex County, Massachusetts to Robert and Elizabeth Ames on the above date. Frances Manwaring Caulkins states in her HISTORY OF NEW LONDON that John was from Massachusetts, and mentions (specultively) that he is of the "Andover" family. However, Genealogist John M. Raymond deals with John's origins exhaustively in his article "The Ancestors of John and Robert Ames of Wethersfield, Connecticut." In his paper, Raymond states definitively that John Ames who arrived in New London in 1696 was of the Woburn Family of Robert and Elizabeth, and is the John mentioned by Caulkins in her HISTORY as arriving in New London County in 1696. He further affirms that John, being mentioned in Robert of Woburn's will, and in Ames Family Histories and Genealogies, is without doubt the John of the Woburn Family. John Ames married Abigail Rose Morgan at Groton, New London 1 Feb 1698. They had 5 children (known) before Abigail's death 25 Feb 1713. Their first child was John, Jr., born 14 Aug 1701. John, Sr. remarried Paltiah Stebbins on 20 Jul 2013, and they had 3 children. Joshua Hempsted records in his DIARY for 1 Jun 1735: "John Eams Died with the Plurisie Sick a fortnight 60 odd."

81	With the dawning of the day last Saturday, Sun Prairie lost another and one of the last of her pioneer residents in the person of Mrs. Mary Pinchin, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Minnie DeLine, at the extreme age of 92 years, 2 months, and 18 days. She suffered a stroke of apoplexy Thursday evening the 12th inst., shortly after retiring for the night, but her seemingly rugged constitution kept the spark of life within the aged body for nearly 10 days before the soul took its flight across the "dark river." The deceased's maiden name was Mary Slauson and she was born in the town of Carmel, Putman County, NY on January 3, 1816. She grew to womanhood and was married in her native state, the date of her union with William Pinchin being March 17, 1836. Six children blessed their union, four girls and two boys. The boys died in infancy, but all the daughters survive her; Mrs. H. Marks of Ohioa, NE, Mrs. Emma Gibbons of Pasadena, CA, Mrs. Jacob Wolf of Sun Prairie township, and Mrs. Minnie DeLine of this village. In 1856 the family came west to the wilds of Wisconsin and after remaining for a short time at Racine came on to Pierceville, where Mr. Pinchin ereced a shop and set up in the blacksmith business. Two and one half years later the family moved to Sun Prairie and with the exception of 8 years, when the family lived between Jefferson and Lake Mills, and a short time at Lodi, their home has been in Sun Prairie. Mr. Pinchin's shop was on the corner of Vine and Main Streets and the building still stands there. The husband died in 1895 of lung fever on Feb. 17. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the DeLine home at two o'clock and the remains were taken to their final resting place beside those of her husband in the village cemetery.

83	WHEELER FAMILY (MILFORD) Wheeler, Thomas. Deputy (Milford) to Conn. Leg., May and Oct. 1670, May 1671. He was adm. to Milford Church, 9 Aug. 1640, and d. at Milford, 26 Nov. 1672. His wife Jane was adm. 27 Sept. 1640, and buried 11 June 1673. She is called Joan in probate records; no evidence has been seen for the oft-repeated assertion that she was a Bryan. Nor can we accept Orcutt's statement that the Milford Thomas was son of Thomas, Sr., of Fairfield, despite its acceptance by the compiler of the bulky 'Wheeler Family in America', for the Milford Thomas was certainly too old a man to permit of such identification. The wills of Thomas and of William of Stratford prove that they were brothers, but of their parentage we permit ourselves no guess. Will 18 Nov. 1672, proved 11 June 1673; eldest son John and John's three eldest daus., Sarah, mary, Elizabeth; 2d son Nathaniel and his dau. Esther; sons Ephraim and Joseph; son Thomas; my bros's children here, vis., William, Thomas, Sarah; wife Joan. Inv. of his widow Joan, 23 June 1673.

85	John was born about 1665, married Prudence Manwaring about 1688, and died on 5 December 1757, aged 92. No records are known for the births or baptisms of their children, and they left no probate records naming them. A death notice states that John had thirteen children, all of whom lived to have issue; of these, six sons and four daughters have long been recognized, leaving three reputed children unidentified. The six sons are unambiguously identified in a set of deeds of gift. On 24 November 1733, John Beckwith of New London gave 50 acres of his son Oliver Beckwith of Lyme, and on 7 June 1743 he gave 10 acres to son John Beckwith Junr of New London, 10 acres to son Richard Beckwith of New London, 20 acres to son Jonathan Beckwith of Saybrook, and his homestead or farm of 200 acres to youngest sons Joseph and Benjamin Beckwith of New London. Further, on 5 August 1746 Joseph and Benjamin Beckwith of New London gave 20 acres to their brothers Jonathan Beckwith of Saybrook, Joh Beckwith Junr of New London, and Richard Beckwith of New London. Of the four daughters, two are identified by reasonably direct evident. Hannah Beckwith married George Chappell in New London in 1718, and in 1737/8 Joshua Hempstead recorded in his diary the burial ofGeorge Chappell's wife, "the Daughter of John Beckwith." Another daughter, Mary, was discovered by Parkhurst in a volume of Hempstead's marriage and Justice Court records; Mary was identified as a daughter of John Beckwith of New London when she was charged with fornication in 1729, and as a daughter of John Beckwith in the record of her marriage to Benjamin Luther the following year. The other two daughters, Bathsheba and Prudence, are identified indirectly by onomastic evidence, by the fact that their 1716 and 1717 marriages took place in New London, and as will be explained below, by the near-complete absence at that time of any other Beckwiths residing in New London except John and his brood. Regarding the last point, in 1704 the Connecticut General Court issued letters patent granting ownership of the town of New London to the inhabitants already owning property there ("proprietors"), who were specifically named. John was the only Beckwith named in the patent, indicating that by 1704 he was the only Beckwith residing in New London who owned land there. The town common lands were eventually divided among proprietors enrolled as of 25 March 1728. The only Beckwith in whose right land was laid out was again John, indicating he was still the only Beckwith landowner in New London. Beyond that date, the extensive surviving New London rate books, show that the only Beckwiths taxed there up to 1761, were John, his sons, and grandsons, and a William Beckwith (Sr.). This William was in New London by 1727 and died about 1784. Evidence will be presented indicating that he was probably one of John's previously unidentified children. The specific location of John's land within New London turns out to have consequences. His deeds and those of his sons frequently mention as bounds the Niantic River on the east, the town line with Lyme on the west, or both, and Hempstead in his diary also mentions that John "lived on ye west side Nihantick River near Lyme line." Their location on the periphery of New London may have played a role in the complete failure of John and his sons to register the births of their children with the town clerk. More significantly, in May 1726 the sliver of New London lying between the Lyme line and the Niantic was annexed to the East Society in Lyme, also called the Second Congregational Church of Lyme.

86	On the death of her brother Richard Plantagenent , Earl of Warwick, on 28 Nov 1499, she became sole heiress, not only to her father, but to the Earls of Warwick and Earls of Salisbury. She was Lady of the Chamber to Queen Katherine of Aragon in 1509. Sir Richard de le Pole died before 18 Dec 1505. In 1538 King Henry VIII struck at the family of Pole, on account both of their descent from King Edward IV's brother George, Duke of Clarence, and of the action of Cardinal Reginald Pole, who hoped that Paul III would publish a Bull of deprivation. Their youngest son, Sir Geoffrey Pole, was sent to the Tower on 29 Aug 1538, followed on 4 November, by their first son Henry, Lord Montagu. Margaret Plantagenet, Countess of Salisbury, was sent to the Tower of London, attainted, and beheaded at the Tower on 28 May 1541. She was the last surviving member of the royal House of Anjou (usually known as the Plantagenets).	PLANTAGENET, Margaret (I44540)
87	Randy Muller of "Randy Muller's Family Tree on Rootsweb.com, he feels that naming Welthea (Wealthy) Morgan as a child of Joshua Morgan and Eunice Wilbur is hypothetical. Mainly because of the name similarities in Wealthy's children (Wilbur), and Wealthy herself, who may have been named after her paternal grandmother. I concur with Randy's findings. Until further research is done to show otherwise, I will be leaving Welthea Morgan as the daughter of Joshua Morgan and Eunice Wilbur.	MORGAN, Weathea (I71354)
88	William Whiting represented Hartford in the General Court from 1710 to 1715, and was Speaker in 1714. In 1693, he went as Captain of a company of Whites and Indians to Maine. In 1705 he held the rank of Major. In 1709 he bore the rank of Colonel, and led a body of horse and infantry into the county of Hampshire Mass., to repel the French and Indians. In 1710 he was command of the troops at Port Royal, and in 1711, in the expedition against Canada. Col. Whiting was Sheriff of Hartford county in 1722. He removed to Newport, R.I., late in life, and probably died there.	WHITING, Col. William (I83316)
89	" A Genealgical History of the Hoyt Family": He was taken captive by the Indians, and carried to a place a few miles notrh of Quebec. While in the city one day with his master, he was noticed by an agent of the Mass. government, who paid a sum of money for his ransom, and immedicately sent him home. He landed in Boston after an absence of two years and a half, and settled in his native town, Deerfield. A number of years after his return from captivity, his old master visited him and was entertained with great hospitality, much affection being manifested on both sides.	HOYT, Lieut. Jonathan (I30413)
90	" A Genealogy of the Ingersoll Family" - Simon Ingersoll was a noted inventor. His son Samuel C. writes: "I helped him build the first automobile ever made. It was in 1857 or 1858. We ran it by steam. We rode into Stamford with it one day and the Warden looked it over and said, "It is very dangerous and you must get it away at once. The boiler will burst or you will run over somebody, sure, yes, sure." "Gentlemen, I am going to stay just long enough to say, some of you standing here will see the day they will be just as common as horses and wagons are." "The Steam Rock Drill, of course, is known the world over, capitalized for ten millions many years ago, but he was robbed out of everything and July, 1894 was penniless. Had he lived two or three months longer he would have had the first flying. He had an anti-friction arrangement and the steamer "City of Chicago" was to be laid on dock to have it applied just a short time before he died. In fact he got his death cold by being in the water to apply it to a little boat. It would have saved from $300 to $500 a trip across the lake and back."	INGERSOLL, Simon (I31789)

93	"A Collection of Family Records, with Biographical Sketches, and other memoranda of various families and individuals bearing the name DOUGLAS": ....He removed from Plainfield to Old Canaan about 1746, and remained there some twenty years. In 1766 he removed with his family to what was at that time Jericho Hollow, Mass., but which was subsequently included in Stephentown, NY. His son William had preceded him the year before. When Asa came he brought with him a company of men who cleared thirty acres of land and built a large farmhouse. The nearest neighbor was four miles away, and they were obliged to go fourteen miles to the sawmill. The garret of the house, which is still ('77) standing in good repair, was used during the Revolutionary war as a jail, there being at that early day none in the county. Asa participated in the war, and led a company of thirty "Silver Grays" at the battle of Bennington, on the 16th of August, 1777, when the force of British and Indians sent to seize the stores collected at that place were defeated by the Americans under Col. John Stark. Asa continued to reside in Stephentown till the time of death, which occurred Nov. 12, 1792. His widow survived him some fourteen years, and died June 12, 1809.	DOUGLAS, Asa (I68386)
94	"A Collection of Family Records, with Biographical Sketches, and other memoranda of various families and individuals bearing the name DOUGLAS": he was admitted to the church, July 24, 1698. The next year he removed with his wife and two children to "the new plantation on the Quinnebaug, which was afterwards named Plainfield." Here lands were set off to him "on the east side of the river." He also owned lands in Voluntown, which he purchased of his father, Aug. 18, 1715, for "thirteen pounds of good and current money." He was one of the little company that covenanted together and formed a church in Plainfield, in 1705. The Rev.Joseph Coit was called to the charge of this little flock, and William Douglas was chosen the first deacon. In the old burial ground at Plainfield, an ancient gravestone bears this inscription:---- "in memory of Mr. William Douglas, Who was ye first Deacon of ye churh of Christ in Plainfield who departed this Life August ye 10th A.D. 1719 in ye 46th year of his Age." Deacon Douglas died in the prime of life, and greatly lamented. All the church and town records, and all but a few files of the probate records, of Plainfield, were consumed at the burning of the town by Arnold, in 1781. Among the probate records saved, was the will of Dea. William Douglas. It was dated july 6, 1717, and proved Sept. 25, 1717. In it he provided for his wife, Sarah, and eleven children, all of the latter under twenty-ine years of age. His wife was Sarah Proctor, but no date of his marriage can be found in the New London records. His eldest two children were born in new London, all the others in Plainfield. His widow, Sarah, was living in 1729, but no record of her death has been found.	DOUGLAS, Deacon William (I19628)
95	"A Collection of Family Records, with biographical Sketches, and other Memoranda of Various Families and Individuals bearing the name Douglas": His eighteenth year was passed in the American army. he married, May 12, 1779, Hannah, daughter of Judge (James?) Brown and Hannah Douglas, of Pittstown. They settled in Stephentown, but subsequently removed to the town of Chazy, on the shore of Lake Champlain. "On the 15th of March, 1793, he landed at the lake shore of Chazy, with his family, of wife and seven children. His was the first English family which settled in this town." He was a man of great influence as the town became settled, and his death was mourned as an irreparable loss. He died at Plattsburgh, as he was on the way to visit his aged mother and his son in Albany, Oct. 16, 1808, fifteen years after his first arrival in Chazy. His widow passed the last years of her eventful and useful life in the family of her granddaughter in Chazy. Her vigor of body and mind were preserved to a remarkable degree to the end of her life. She died Oct 4, 1853, at the advanced age of nearly 93 years.	DOUGLAS, CAPT. John (I68382)

98	"A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Kelsey": Bethia possibly died about 1636 and William may have married a second wife shortly after this, who would thus have been the mother of the four younger children, and possibly of John. There is no mention of William Kelsey's wife in any known records.	KELSEY, William (I67550)
99	"A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Kelsey": That this Bethia Kelsey, wife of David Philips, was a daughter of William seems beyond contradiction. Hinman says that it was Bethia Kelsey, widow of William who became the wife of David Phillips of Milford, but the hartford Town Records disprove this by the record of Sept. 1665, when it was voted that "the town will give ten pounds to David phillips, of Milford provided he remove from hartford with Bethia Kelsy (wrongly copied as Kelly) his wife, at such a time as the townsmen appoint him." As William was living for at least 10 years after this meeting, it could not have been his widow who was here named, so it must have been a daughter. Nothing further is known of Bethia and her husband, David Phillips.	KELSEY, Bethiah (I67553)
100	"A Genealogy of the Hoyt families" shows the wife of David as being Rebecca Allis, daughter of Thomas Allis.	HOYT, David (I30232)
