| 1302 | W. R. RUE, farmer; P. O. Enon. Mr. Rue is the son of John and Sarah Rue. His father was a native of Maryland, and his mother of Pennsylvania; they removed to Cincinnati in 1798, removing to Greene Co. in 1807. The subject of this sketch was born Feb. 8, 1815, in Mad River Township, and was of great assistance to his father in clearing up his farm which was among the first improvements in this vicinity. Mr. Rue remembers distinctly when the Indians were roving around in. bands numbering from five to five hundred. He has many relics of the Indians, including a fine pipe and two of the largest earrings ever found, one of which he found on his farm and the other near the county house. These relics were exhibited at the Clark-Shawnee Cen-tennial, and was a great attraction. Mr. Rue married, in 1840, to Miss Lois Forsythe of Virginia. He purchased the old homestead in 1865, living on it several years, and then selling it and buying the farm on which he now resides, containing 81 1/4 acres. Mr. Rue attended general muster for about fifteen years, and from the age of 21 to 55 never failed to work the roads. He saw the Mormons when on their way from Cort-land, N. Y., to Nauvoo, Ill., several of whom worked a few days for his father. The family consists of four children - three sons and a daughter. | RUE, William R. (I1262)

| 1314 | When he arrived in the United States -- through Castle Garden, not Ellis Island, he told his grandson, Pete Scheiner -- he recalled walking across a bridge into Manhattan "and didn't know what the hell he was doing." In the 1940s, Abraham wrote his memories of meeting his wife, Fannie Orel (Little Bubbe). He also published a series of paperback pamphlets called "Hodge Podge," filled with useful advice, like Poor Richard's Almanac. He was an inventor, an artist, and electrical engineer. He worked with Thomas Edison, who is said to have given Abraham a gold watch when he retired (although Edison, born in 1847, was older). Abraham invented a car battery. In addition to painting, Abraham carved beautiful walking sticks, the best of which were stolen from the nursing home where is son, Louis, lived in the late 1970s. His granddaughter, Ruth Sheinaus Asimov, said that when Abraham arrived in the US, "he opened a little art store doing portraits...eventually he sent for his family. I don't know the chronology, but eventually, I know he gave up the art store and worked on electic automobiles in Hartford, where my father went to elementary school. (Either the "Brown School" on Darling street, or the "Darling School" on Brown St.) Abraham's collaborator was Mr. Landau," after whom a style of car was named. Also from Ruth: "They also lived in Elizabeth, NJ, where Lizzie was born, and Washington Heights where Rosie was born. (Liz was the youngest.) Abraham worked for the Edison company, had met Thomas Edison on a number of occasions, and became foreman of the battery department. He invented some kind of storage battery that they used there. When he retired, he got either a gold medal or a gold watch, neither of which are around." "After he retired, he and his wife, Fannie took a trip back to Kishinev. (1936) They traveled to Europe on the Ile de France, via Rome. I still have the bracelet they brought me from Rome." Where did the name Sheinaus come from? Ruth says that Abraham made it up. He was originally "Schinder," and changed his name apparently to avoid being conscripted into the Russian Army. By taking the name Sheinaus, he could pretend to be a family's only son, and the Russian Army was thought not to take only sons. CENSUS ADDRESSES: 1920: 481 Van Buren St. Brooklyn.

| 1322 | William and Mary were married about 1790. Six of their children were born in the Pendelton district, and they moved to Caldwell county, KY, about 1803, where they had six children. In the fall of 1817, they moved to Illinois, first stopping on Wood river, about two miles from Alton, in Madison county. Their destination was the San-ga-ma country, but it was more economical to remain idle that winter than to move up, and thus incur the necessity of hauling provisions for themselves and stock. Early in 1818 William Drennan, his half brother, Joseph Drennan, his son-in-law, Joseph Dodds, and George Cox, left their families near Alton, and, with their teams, farming implements, provisions, and all the young men and boys belonging to the families who were able to assist in making a home, started, piloted by a white man named William Moore, who had belonged to a company that had been over the country before, in fighting the Indians. He was called an Indian Ranger. Arriving at Sugar creek, they took a day or two for exploring, and on March 10, 1818, drove to the spot on which William Drennan built his cabin and which proved to be section 32, town 14, range 5 west, when the government made its survey. It is on the northwest side of Sugar creek, and about twelve miles nearly due south of Springfield, and near where the Sugar creek Cumberland Presbyterian church now stands. Immediately after their arrival they built two cabins. One was occupied by George Cox alone. The other was occupied for the summer by William and Joseph Drennan and Joseph Dodds. That was the one spoken of as belonging to William Drennan. As they had not the slightest idea of cultivating the prairie, these three men agreeed to clear all the land they could in one body, and have a crop from it that year in common, with the understanding that before another year they were all to work together until an equal sized piece was cleared for the other two. They cleared the timber from about fifteen acres, fenced it, plowed as well as they could among the roots and stumps with a little short wooden mouldbourd plow, and planted it in corn and pumpkins. The soil in the timber was very light -- so much so that in some places they would almost sink in over their shoes. In frencing this land, they inclosed about three-fourths of an acre of prairie. After they had plowed and planted their crop, one of the men suggested that it was quite a waste to have that under fence and nothing growing on it, and proposed that they break it up and plan something on it. IN order to make sure work, they uncoupled one of their wagons, hitched four horses to the forward wheels, and fastened their wooden mould board plow to the axle. They soon found this was a failure. Try as they would, the plow would not center the sod, and they reluctantly gave it up. While they were taking off the team and plow, one of the boys, full of fun and mischief, took up a hoe and began to shave the grass off, saying he could break the prairie with his hoe. That suggested an idea to one of the men, and he, also, took a hoe and began shaving the grass. It was the work of but a few minutes to remove the sod from a spot several feet in diameter. He then called one of the othermen, and proposed that, as they were well advanced with their work, and there were seven or eight of them, and all had hoes, that they call all ahands together , and shave the grass from the whole piece, plant something on it, and see what would be the result. The man spoken to first, laughted at the idea as ridiculous, but after studying a moment, he fell in with it, and the men and boys were all called up, and the grass shaved off, holes dug, and corn and pumpkin seed planted. They did not tought it any more; that killed the grass. The crop was fully twice as much in proportion to the area, as that planted among the stumps, and the next spring it broke up the nicest of any land they had ever seen. This taught them an important lesson, and caused them to make greater exertions to induce some one to invent a plow that would break up the prairie. I have this account from the venerable William Drennan, who was one of the young men that assisted in doing the work, and who has lived in sight of the spot to the present time. Several years elapsed before a plow was invented that would do good work at breaking. IN the mean time the early settlers continued clearing their land, that they might have it to cultivate, and were always uneasy for fear their timber would be exhausted. There can be but little doubt that the same labor required to destroy the timber on one acre would have shaved the grass from two acres, with no better implements than a hoe. They could, by that means, have had better land to cultivate, twice the quantity of grain raised, and saved their timber, but the probability is they never thought of it. After the provisions they brought with them were exhausted, one fo their number would return south, load a couple of horses with provisions, salt, and other indispensibles, in regular pack saddle style, and bring them to their new home. The distance was between sixty and seventy miles. They brought cows in the spring, and had plenty of milk. Wild honey was abundant, and Mr. Drennan told the writer that two of their number would cut down a hollow tree where bees had stored their wealth, and with a few hours work, would bring in from two to five gallons of honey. While they were doing this, others of their number would be looking for more bee trees, so that they always had four or five trees ahead, and knew just where to go when they needed more honey. For meat, they would hunt as the necessitieis required, some times one, and often all would hunt. IN warm weather they would take venison, the breast of turkeys and geese, cut the meat into thin slices, sprinkle a small quantity of salt on it, and dry it on a frame work of sticks about three feet hight, setting the frame in the sun, with a smouldering fire underneath. In this way the meat would soon be cured, and ready for use at any time. This they called jerked meat, a considerable supply of which could be kept on hand. Fresh meat, jerked meat, milk, honey and bread, constituted their bill of fare during the first summer. As trips were made back and forth, some fo the younger sons and those who had families were brought to the new settlements. After the crops were cultivated, the men who had families returned to them, leaving the unmarried men and boys to take care of the property. The four men who came up in the spring, all brought their wives and childern in the fall of that year. Mr. Cox arrived first, Joseph Drennan next, and, William Drennan, with his son-in-law, Josephy Dodds, came together, arriving Dec. 3, 1818. Of the twelve childeren of William Drennan, Sen.--- Mattie, born in South Carolina, married in Kentucky Samuel William, born Oct 15, 1797, in Pendleton district, SC, came to Kentucky, and from there to Sangamon county with his father, arriving March 10, 1818 in what is now Ball township. He was married May 30, 1822, in Sanagamon county to Margaret Anderson. They had twelve childern, all born in Sanagmon county, viz: James A., born AUg 6, 1828, married Dec 8, 1853, to Rachel Cannan. They have six children, Jannetta F, Mary E, Robert W, Minnie W, Ira and Frederick, and reside in Ball township, five miles northeast of Auburn. Samuel, born Oct. 30, 1829, went to the Pacific coasat in 1852, and was married there May 28,1868 to Lousia Fernald, who was born April 4, 1839 in North Berwick, Maine. They have three children, Edith A., Mabel L, and Dora A, and reside in Santa Cruz county, Ca. John T, born Jan 14, 1832, enlisted August 9, 1862 at Chatham, in Co. I, 73d Ill INf, for theree years. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, Sept 20, 1863, lay five days on the battlefied, before medical aid was given. He recovered, but is permanently disabled. He was dischard on account of physical disability, June 16, 1864, and resides with his parents in Ball Township...

Of course, this was filled out by husband Abraham Sheinaus, who has since proven how little appreciation he had for consistent and realistic dates. Let's assume that Abraham was born around 1860 (which would make his age at death 97). If Fannie were 81, she would have been born around 1868. If Fannie were 79, she would have been born around 1870. The passenger list of the Anchoria on which she immigrated with her mom, Rose Adler Orel, and daughter “Ester,” 7, and son “Pinkas” (Louis/Foff), 1 month, arrived July 24, 1893 and lists her as 26 years old — meaning she was born around 1867. | OREL, Frima (Little Bubbe) (Fannie) (I734)

| 1346 | [Byrne.FTW] GEORGE1 ABBOTT was probably born in England, and died in Rowley, Essex Co., Mass., 1647, where he had lived about five years after coming from England with his family, about 1642, being one of the first settlers. The early records of Rowley, including 1647 the year of his death, which covered the entire period of his residence there, are missing, and not much is known of him except what is given in the published accounts of the settlement of the place, which is very little. The sufferings of the first settlers of the town were probably far greater than its history indicates. They were literally in the wilds of a new continent, surrounded by want, suffering, sickness, wild beasts, hostile Indians, and with none of the comforts of life which they had been used to in England, nor could these be obtained. Probably few who read the brief history of George Abbott's family will better understand the situation than the writer, whose business for a score of years after the Civil war was to protect frontier settlers from the many dangers that surrounded them. But in George Abbott's day there was no disciplined government force to guard those helpless people; they were literally alone, and so differently reared from most of the pioneers of the nineteenth century, that their privations were more keenly felt. It is no wonder, then, that George Abbott, and possibly his wife, soon sickened and died from want and exposure, in the early days of Rowley In accordance with custom Mr. Abbott probably deeded most of his estate before his death to his eldest son, Thomas Abbott, Sr. His inventory of effects amounted to ú95: 2s.: 8d.(*) The estates of his sons, however, indicate that he owned much more land than there is any record of in his day. Of course at his death all land, excepting his house lot, was held by Rogers' company, but was probably afterwards divided among the settlers, each receiving his share according to the amount contributed to the company on its organization, and his heirs would no doubt receive his portio The particulars of the settlement are given in the History of Rowley, by Thomas Gage, and in the History of Essex Co., Mass., by D. H. Hurd. The latter says:-- "The town of Rowley, Mass., was founded in 1639, by the Reverend Ezekiel Rogers and his company. The original grant was from Ipswich on the south to Newbury on the north, and from the Ocean on the east to the Merrimack River on the west. Mr. Ezekiel Rogers was the son of the Rev. Richard Rogers, a distinguished Puritan, of Weathersfield, Essex Co., England, and bred at Cambridge; in 1604, he was of Corpus Christi, when he graduated as a Bachelor of Arts, and of Christ College, in 1608, when graduated as Master of Arts. After leaving the university he became Chaplain in the family of Sir Francis Barrington, of Essex, exercising himself in ministerial duties for about a dozen years. "He was then called to a public charge, at Rowley, in Yorkshire, where he continued with great favor for about seventeen years, when he was compelled to relinquish his charge--as he tells his story in his will--'For refusing to read that accursed book that allowed sports on God's holy Sabbath, the Lord's day, I was suspended, and, by it and other sad signes of the times, driven with many of my hearers into New England.' The landing was made at Salem, Mass., in the autumn of 1638, and the new town founded in April, 1639--the act of incorporation reading as follows: 'The 4th Day of the 7th Month [September] 1639....' Mr. Rogers was a man of great note in England for his piety and ability, while the members of the company he brought with him to Rowley were called by Gov. Winthrop, 'Godly men, and most of them of good estate.' "In the tract set off to Rogers' company several farms had been laid out; these were purchased by the company for ú800. The purchase money was contributed by such as were able to pay, and in the laying out of house lots, all who paid nothing were given one acre and one-half, while those who paid were given lots in proportion to the amount they contributed." The distinction becomes more apparent when the rules of the assignment of rights, called "gates,"(+) in the commons which extended five miles from the town "every way" where the company owned property, are known. The rates were as follows:-- "A one and one-half acre house-lot was entitled to one and one-half gates; a two acre lot to four and one-half gates; a three acre lot to thirteen and one-half gates; and a four acre lot to twenty-two and one-half gates.... The time of laying out the several house-lots is unknown. On the 10th of the Eleventh Month, 1643, Mr. Thomas Nelson, Mr. Edward Carlton, Humphrey Reyner, and Francis Parrat, appointed by the town for that purpose, made a survey of the town and registered the lots to all the inhabitants as granted and laid out." The names of the fifty-nine to whom house-lots were registered in this survey, together with a brief account of each, are then given, the list being headed by George Abbott, who received two acres. In subsequent divisions, according to a book containing a record of the laying out of lands and divisions of fences from 1643 to 1647, he received, including the foregoing house-lot, 21 1/4 acres, variously located; but this was evidently only a fraction of the land owned by him. A recapitulation shows that lots were distributed to the settlers as follows: One received a one acre lot; twenty-eight received one and one-half acre lots; twenty-two received two acre lots; three received three acre lots; three received four acre lots; and two received six acre lots, making in all fifty-nine. Only thirty of this number, of whom George Abbott was one, contributed anything towards buying the land belonging to the company. Gage says, in effect, that when Mr. Rogers' party first arrived in Salem, in the fall of 1638, it consisted of about twenty families: that they spent the winter in Salem, improving the time looking out a place for a "plantation," during which they were increased to about sixty families. The place where they located was first called Mr. Rogers' plantation, afterwards Rowley,--from Rowley in Yorkshire, Eng., where he and some of his people had lived. For nearly five years they labored together in common to clear up the land on each side of the brook that ran through the central part of what is now the first parish, the members of the company not owning land in severalty. They were very industrious every way, soon built themselves houses, a fulling mill, put their children to work spinning "cotton wool," many of them having been clothiers in England, and were the first to manufacture cloth in the western world. (Johnson's Wonder Working Providence.) Mrs. Abbott's death, in case she came to America, was doubtless given in a book used for recording the general affairs of the town from 1639 to 1672, but much before 1647 is illegible, and several leaves, etc., are lost; therefore the dates of early deaths, etc., in the family cannot be given. The supposition is that one or the other of the two children named Thomas in George Abbott's family was an adopted son. The elder was known as Thomas, Sr., and the younger as Thomas, Jr. The following from the Ipswich, Mass., court records indicates that the latter was not a son of George Abbott whose death occurred in Rowley, 1647, the day and month of which is not known except approximately, as indicated below:-- "30--1mo. 1647 [Mar. 30, 1647]. The court sitting at Ipswich ordered a warrant issued for George Abbott, Thomas Abbott, Sr., Thomas Abbott, Jr., and Nehemiah Abbott about putting out by the town of Rowley of one of the sons of George Abbott. Permission given to the town to set forth Thomas Abbott, Jr., son of George Abbott of Rowley, to be an apprentice to John Boynton for seven years. Boynton to pay Thomas Abbott ú5, at end of term, provided that it be not fully concluded until next court so his father may have an opportunity to object." The warrant for the four so-called sons of George Abbott, was issued, without doubt, after his death, as probably no such action would have been taken in regard to this particular child before that event; in case he was a son, it is singular that similar action was not taken with the other minors. The Ipswich court records show that after the division of George Abbott's estate, the guardians of the children receipted to the court "30. 1mo. 1648" [Mar. 30, 1648], for ú16 as George's, ú21 as Nehemiah's, and ú16 as Thomas, Jr.'s, portion of the estate. An "overplus" of "about 50sh, of George Abbott's children's estate," was left in the hands of Mark Simons, "executor to George Abbott, 28--1mo. 1648." Later on it also appears(*) that the guardians, Humphrey Reynor and Thomas Mighill, were discharged from their trust March, 1654, on acknowledgment by the sons at Ipswich court that they had received satisfaction. According to the Mass. Colonial Records (ii: p. 215), Abbott made a will, for it was referred by the General Court to the Salem Court, Nov. 11, 1647; but, though search has been made for it repeatedly in all the several court and county records, deeds, wills, etc., of an early day, and in every other conceivable place, no trace of it has been found, nor any complete record of the settlement of his estate.

The foregoi is a true copy of record in this offic "Attest: CHAS. S. OSGOOD, Reg." From the foregoing inventory Abbott seemingly invested all he had with the company at Rowley; and the fact that his son Thomas, Sr., was one of the overseers and leading men of the settlement in 1656, and that in 1650, barely three years after his father's death, only seven settlers owned more land each than Thomas, Sr., indicate that his father at the time of his death (when the land he probably gave his other heirs is taken into consideration), was one of the leading proprietors, but at this late day little can be found pertaining to his affairs, or to any of his early descendants. His sons, for the time, were all well off. As his progeny are becoming legion, there can be no doubt that a desire to know as much as possible about his early history exists on the part of every thoughtful living descendant. On this account great pains have been taken to make his record complete, both here and in England, for from him have descended some of the most eminent of their day in the arts and sciences, including scholars, divines, jurists, statesmen, soldiers, educators authors, philanthropists, pioneers, specialists, business men, diplomats, politicians and trusted leaders and representative persons in almost every useful occupation in life, some of whose records are almost as brilliant as those of the chil. of Maurice Abbot, of Guildford, Eng.; and no pioneer bearing the name in America has a more distinguished descent than George Abbott, of Rowley, the most prominent of whom, like the celebrated Guildford family, from poor boys have risen to eminence. One notable fact is that not a saloon-keeper has been found among any of his descendants, covering a period of over two and a half centuries. The Compiler has copies of several scores of Yorkshire and London, Eng., wills,--all obtainable covering the period in which documentary evidence would develop his lineage, and including the Featherstone parish, where it is suggested in the Lawrence family register Abbott came from, but the desired information cannot be found. George Abbott had 3 children. | ABBOTT, George (I296)

| 1349 | [Byrne.FTW] John Hall took the oath of fidelity in Middlesex Co., 1652, and in the same year the town of Cambridge apportioned to him 20 acres of church land in Billerica. He resided in Concord, Mass., several years previous to 1667 when he returned to Cambridge, and in 1675 removed to Medford, about eight miles from Boston, where he purchased a farm of Caleb Hobert, June 27, 1675, and gave a mortgage on it the same day for ú260, and which he paid May 2, 1681. The records of Medford begin in 1674, but very little is written before 1677, when John Hall was chosen constable and selectman, which at that time were the most important offices of the town. Dea. Thomas Willis and John Hall were chosen selectmen, March 12, 1690. In 1699 John Hall made his will, dividing his large landed estate between hia sons, who were to pay his daughter's portions in money, and his widow Elizabeth had rights reserved for her during her life, and had the use of a portion of the house and cellar; Stephen and Thomas had the house and land near it; the house was situated a few rods east of the railroad depot in West Medford, and was demolished many years ago, and the old cellar filled up in 1876; Daniel A. Gleason who married a descendant of John Hall, owns a house and lot in Medford near where the old house stood. In the old burying ground in Medford, is a thick slate gravestone about as wide as it is high, and arched at the top, in the arch is a death's head, under which stands an hour glass, flanked by two winged figures; at one of the upper corners is written "Memento Mori," at the other "Fugit hora," and on the body of the stone is engraved as follows: "Here lies the body of JOHN HALL, aged 74 years, Died the 18th of Oct., 1701. The memory of the Just is blessed." By the side of this stone is another on which is engraved "In memory of Elizabeth, wife of John Hall, who died Feb. 4, 1713, in the 74th year of her age." And on the other side of the first mentioned stone is a smaller one "In memory of William Hall aged 19 years who died Jan. 4, 1683." | HALL, John (I248)
|
| 1350 | [Byrne.FTW] Mr. Abbott came to New England with his father's family, probably about 1642, lived at Rowley, Essex Co., Mass., about 14 yrs., when, in 1655, he settled in that part of Andover afterwards North Andover but now Andover Centre. He was a husbandman and tailor, very thrifty and industrious, and for that day was financially well off, being, according to the tax list, one of the five wealthiest men in Andover. He was a member of Sergt. James Osgood's Militia Co. 1658-9, and according to the Essex Co. court record, had previously been a member of Sergt. Stevens's Co., the custom being for the citizens of Andover to petition the Court to confirm their choice of a Sergeant.(*) He was made a freeman, May 19, 1669, and was elected constable June 3, 1680, "for ye north end of ye town for ye year ensuing." (t. r.) He probably held other town offices but the records are not sufficiently explicit to tell, there being so many George Abbotts. He was much respected, and for many years had charge of the North Meeting House, Andover: the pulpit was cushioned at an early day, and by a vote to give him the use of a part of the parsonage lands for his services in repairing the meeting-house, he agreed to "mend ye pulpit cushions, and to gett ye meeting-house lock mended;" in 1675 he was paid "for sweeping ye meeting-house and ringing ye bell, thirty shillings per annum;" June 1, 1676, he was sold 9 acres "of upland on ye north side of Joseph Marbles 'land,' provided it be not prejudicial to Richard Barker, and he is to pay for it nine pounds in sweeping ye meeting-house and ringing ye bell at thirty shillings per annum." (Andover Land Rec.) "At a meeting of the selectmen of Andover ye 16, of ye 1. month 1679/80 [Mar. 16, 1679/80] we have agreed with George Abbott, drummer, to ring ye bell at nine of the clock at night, as also to give notice by ye towling of the bell every night of ye day of the month and his time of ringing to begin the time of ye instant March, which he is to doe, and to be payd for his labour thirty shillings by ye year, etc." It was the custom at one time to beat the drum for the signal for service and daily labor, "and none but a sober and industrious man could be chosen for such duties."(+) Abbott probably had charge in all about 30 yrs., some of his sons temporarily taking his place about the time of his death. The Town Committee's first assignment of land to him bears no date. According to its estimate it consisted of two parcels of about four and six acres each. The first included a dwelling house, orchard, etc., and was prob. the ground now (1900) partly occupied by the new house of John Bannon on the left of the road running northerly from the old cemetery, and extending through to the trolley-line of to-day, on which street his house probably fronted. Mr. Sutton's place was next north, George Abbott, Sr.'s place next, the minister's next, etc. The second was bounded north by the cemetery and "Meeting-house greene," east by the road passing by the Kittredge house of to-day, south by John Aslebe's land, and west by land of Mr. Bradstreet and John Frye, Sr. The first record of Abbott's land in Andover in the registrat's office at Salem, Mass., is on June 10, 1662, when he paid Job Tyler ú29: 15s., for the foregoing property, which was inherited by his son, John, who sold it to Lt. John Aslebe,(*) June 17, 1696, when Abbott moved to Sudbury, Mass. The second piece of land assigned him was virtually identical with that now lying south of the old cemetery and in front of the Kittredge house, excepting the little triangular piece east of the cemetery, which would be formed by its eastern wall, the road, and the prolongation of the south wall of the cemetery to said road about in front of the Kittredge House; this triangle was without doubt the "Meeting-house green" in 1662. The church was probably just inside the open space where there are no trees, in the southeasterly corner of the cemetery as it now (1900) is; it probably fronted easterly, and was approached from the "Meeting-house green" by a walk or quite wide passage-way entering the cemetery just north of the grave of John Stevens and others now obscure. The slightly excavated site and its approach are plainly visible to the eye of an expert, the custom of the period being to make interments in close proximity to the church and on either side of its approach. The earliest tablets extant are found in this part of the cemetery, but nearly all have been destroyed by time and climatic influences, only a few having been renewed. Abbott's grave is doubtless among the unmarked ones near the old site. When the first assignment of land was made him by the committee, there was probably no road leading northerly from the centre of the cemetery back of his land, on which his house stood, for had there been, it would doubtless have been given as an eastern boundary to his "house-lott" instead of by the "common" but in 1696 a road had been established, for it is given as the eastern boundary when the lot was sold by his son John, and the next road west (on which the street cars now run), passing between the Phillips and Bradstreet houses, is given as the western boundary, as in the first instances. A condition in deeding this property was that "ye said George Abbott is to pay unto ye minister fower shillings by ye year so long as this waie of rating remayne." The deed is witnessed by Edmund Faulkner and Thomas Abbott, Jr., which shows that the latter was probably living in Andover early in 1662.(*) There were many other assignments of land to Abbott by the Andover Committee, and a record of many real estate transactions by him in the Salem deeds, but the property was so scattered in small pieces, according to custom, that its location would not be understood now by any but an expert. He was very thrifty, seemingly grasping every opportunity to turn an honest penny, until, at his death, he was affluent for his day. He d. intestate, in Andover, Mar. 22, 1688/9, ae. about 58 yrs.(+) His widow, Sarah, was m. by Rev. Francis Dane, Aug. 1, 1689, to Sergt. Henry Ingalls, b. in England about 1627, son of Edward and Anna, probably of Lincolnshire, Eng., who settled in Lynn, Mass., 1629, progenitors of the late Hon. J. J. Ingalls, U. S. Senator for Kansas. They both d. in Andover,--he Feb. 8, 1718/19, ae. 92, and she in 1728, ae. 90 yrs. There were no chil. by this m. Sergt. Henry Ingalls moved to Andover, Mass., 1653, and was m. there by "Mr. Bradstreet," July 6, 1653, to Mary Osgood, b. in Eng., prob. 1633. She d. at Andover, Dec. 16, 1686, ae. about 53 yrs. He was a tanner. His will is dated July 5, 1714, and was proved Feb. 16, 1718/19. Over 100 acres of land were divided among his 12 chil. His son James who m. Hannah, dau. of George and Sarah (Farnum) Abbott, was given the homestead and charged with the care of the wid. (Osgood, Gen. Reg., etc.) He was juror, 1690-1; constable, 1669, 1675, and highway surveyor, 1672. (t. r.) The original duplicate agreements of the settlement of Abbott's estate between his heirs are on file among the Salem, Mass., court papers. After stating that the Government of the country was in an unsettled "posture," the widow and children who were of age, acknowledged their adherence to the following division of the estate: The widow accepted ú25, which she had already received, and an interest in one end of the house, if she should have cause to make use of it at any time during her life. The eldest son, George, accepted 16 acres of upland, on which he had built a house, given him by his father during his lifetime, although there was no legal conveyance of the same; also a "parcel of meadow commonly called 'Woodchuck Meadow,'" ú5 worth of live-stock which he already had, ú6 worth of household effects which he also had, and half of the meadow on the further side of "Woodchuck Meadow" valued at ú5. John, the 2d son, accepted the homestead, orchard and house, except that part reserved for his mother and part of the orchard given his bro. George, a "parcel of meadow" on Shawsheen River, lying on the west of Mr. Bradstreet's meadow, the other half of the meadow back of Woodchuck Meadow, 2 acres of land in the "Newfield," three-quarters of an acre in the "Cochichawiche field," ú14 worth of live-stock, and ú3: 13s. worth of "moveables" which he already had. Nehemiah, the 3d son, accepted "four score acres" of upland, and all the meadow remaining undisposed of, ú6: 2s. worth of live-stock, and ú1: 4s. worth of household effects. John and Nehemiah agreed to pay their sisters, Sarah, Mary, Hannah, and Lydia, 20s., apiece, it being sufficient in addition to what they had already received to make their shares equal with the others, excepting Hannah, who was to have ú18 more when she was of age. She chose Nehemiah as her guardian. The youngest two children, Samuel and Mehitable, minors, were given such portions as the Court should appoint, which was ú70 to the former, and ú18 to the latter when each was of age. John and Nehemiah agreed to pay all debts of the estate and to collect all due it. The agreement was signed by all concerned and witnessed by Dudley Bradstreet and John Ingalls. It was dated Jan. 20, 1689/90, and acknowledged at Haverhill, Mass., Mar. 21, 1689/90, before "Nath: Saltonstall, Assist." Henry Ingalls, Sr., and his wife sent in their consent in writing, and the husbands of Sarah and Mary made acknowledgment for them. The second, also signed by all parties, is only a revision of the original, more clearly and grammatically arranged, excepting that an agreement to pay the amounts determined by the Court in the cases of the youngest two children when of age is added, signed by John and Nehemiah Abbott, approved by the Court, and attested by "Benjm Gerrech, clk," but bears no date.(*) They had 10 children. | ABBOTT, George (I292)

| 1351 | [Byrne.FTW] Percival Hall, of Medford, owned the covenant of the church of Cambridge in order to have his children baptized; and son Percival was baptized Nov. 20, 1698; he and his wife were admitted to full communion Dec. 31, 1699; he was one of the founders of the church of Medford, Feb. 11, 1713, and was chosen deacon in place of his father-in-law Thomas Willis, who resigned on account of old age, March 9, 1720. He was proprietor of Sutton in 1720, and removed to that place in the fall of 1720, or in the following spring; was dismissed from the church of Medford, Dec. 3, 1721, and with his wife was admitted to the church of Sutton, the same month, and not long after was chosen the 2d deacon of that church; he became a very prominent and efficient man in both church and town affairs. He appeared to be the chief means of the settlement of his kinsman Rev. David Hall, from Yarmouth, over the church of Sutton; he was a very large landed proprietor, and represented the town in General Court (see History of Sutton). His grandson Jonathan Hall, of Windsor, Vt, said "that he was a short, thick man, and a great worker." His grave is near that of his son Willis in the burying ground near the meeting house in Sutton Center, but there is no grave stone erected to his memory. Those of his posterity who feel an interest in having a suitable monument set up at his grave will do well to write to Gardner Hall, of Sutton, on the subject. His children were: NOTE. THE WILLIS FAMILY. The name is written on the records of Cambridge, Willow, Willows, and Willoes, the name should be spelled Willow, and is quite another name than Wyllys, which is generally spelled Willis. But his descendants prefer to be called Willis rather than Willow. George Willow (Willis) the emigrant ancestor was born in England about 1602, and came to Cambridge about 1628, although the formation of the town was not until 1630. In 1688 he stated that he was 86 years old and had lived in Cambridge 60 years. He m., 1st., Widow Jane Palphry, the mother of John Palphry, some of whose descendants have been men of distinction; m., 2d, Sarah (???), who survived him. George Willis and wife Jane were members of the church of Cambridge in full communion before 1658, when the church records were burned. He made his will Sept. 17, 1690, and it was probated Oct. 7, 1690. He left two sons, 1. Thomas, b. Dec. 28, 1638; 2. Stephen, b. Oct. 14, 1644, and both had families. Thomas m. Grace, dau of William and Grace (Newell) Tay. William Tay was b. 1608; d. 1683, lived in Boston in 1643; m., in Roxbury, Sept. 14, 1644, Grace, dau. of Abraham Newell. Thomas was a house wright and lived in Billerica several years and removed to Medford before 1713 when he was one of the founders of the church, and was chosen its first deacon. He died Aug. 14, 1725. His wife Grace was born Aug. 23, 1645, and died Jan. 23, 1716, e. 70 years (see gravestone Medford). Their dau. Grace, m. Stephen Hall, of Medford, "Stow Hall" so called (see Halls of Stow). | HALL, Percival (I232)
|
| 1352 | [Byrne.FTW] Richard Barker was a husbandman, one of the first settlers of Andover, and the only citizen known to have been in the place from the town recs., 1643. His name is connected with the first business transaction of record, and all other town affairs of importance for 50 yrs. He was prominent in ch. affairs, frequently selectman, etc., and was often admr. of estates. | BARKER, Richard (I287)
|
| 1353 | [Byrne.FTW] Samuel R. Hall, probably came to Croyden, to see about some land owned by his father, and settled there as a farmer. He held the offices of constable, collector, tithingman, moderator etc., and was a soldier from that town in the revolutionary war. He had surveyed in 1794, some of the eastern townships of Canada, and purchased the half of one of them, of fraudulent parties, and on Jan. 20, 1796, he started from Croydon, with his family, to go to Canada and take possession of his purchase, and proceeded as far as Guildhall, Vt., before he knew of the fraud. The swindlers had been paid, and Mr. Hall found himself in Guildhall (which was nearly a wilderness at that time), without the means to make any more purchases. He lived in Guildhall several years, and was a great spiritual blessing to the town; the people were destitute of the preached gospel, and Mr. Hall gathered them together and conducted prayer meetings, with exhortations, and his gifts and usefulness, appeared to justify his becoming a preacher of the gospel, and he was accordingly ordained as a Congregational minister. In 1807, he removed to Rumford, Me., where he was the means of gathering a church, and became its pastor, and continued such until his death. Mrs. Hall was a feeble woman in the later years of her life. | HALL, Samuel Read (I205)

| 1355 | [Byrne.FTW] Stephen Hall was a farmer, and probably had a portion of his father's homestead in Sutton, and built the house in 1752, which is now owned by John Armsby; it was kept in the family for four generations; he was a tall, broad shouldered man, and served as a lieutenant and quartermaster in the old French and Indian war from 1755 to 1760. His wife was received from the church of Uxbridge by the church of Sutton, Feb. 23, 1746 | HALL, Stephen (I219)
|
| 1356 | [Byrne.FTW] The early home of some of the Farnums, after leaving Andover, was at Dracut, Mass., and it is said, though it is somewhat doubtful, that they were of Welsh ancestry. It was a strong family, many of its carly members taking a prominent part in the early public affairs of the country. Brig. Gen. James M. Varnum was b. in Dracut, 1748, and took an active part in the Rev. War. A younger bro., Gen. Joseph B. Varnum, b. 1750, was a Capt. during the Rev. War, and 16 yrs. a mem. of Cong., during which time he was 4 yrs. Speaker of the House and 6 yrs. U. S. Senator. Among the noteworthy names of the family in Andover at an early date were Capt. John Farnum of the French and Indian War; Mr. John Farnum, a grad. of Harv. Univ., 1761, and member of the convention for framing the Constitution of Mass.; Capt. Benjamin Farnum of the Rev. War, Dea. of the North Ch.; Dea. Jedediah Farnum, and his son Timothy, Esq., a grad. of Harv. Univ., 1808, lawyer of Monmouth, Me.; Rev. Enoch Farnum, of Wayne, Me.; Mr. Armstrong Farnum, merchant, Boston and Phila.; Capt. Levi Farnham, etc. | FARNUM, Ralph (I294)
