[NI0003] THE ELDRED FAMILY - New Lisbon files
Children of Charles & Polly (Low) Eldred:

3. DeWitt Clinton, b. ?????, 1857. Died when 9 months old.

[NI0005] By 1937 (age 28) when he applied for Social Security, Ken was already employed at the feed mill, Charles H. Eldred & Co, Inc, and was living on Main Street in Bainbridge, New York. You could see right up the street that the mill was on from the vantage point of the house, as it was only about a block away.

Active member of the Rotary Club in Bainbridge, New York; served as master of ceremonies for Minstrel presentations in the 1950s. Worked in his father's business, Charles H. Eldred & Co., a feed mill. Member of the Eastern Federation of Feed Merchants, Inc. Ordained as a layreader in 1954 at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Bainbridge, New York. Was confirmed the same day as his daughter Claudine, June 4, 1944, by Bishop Edward Huntington Coley.

According to son-in-law Fred Breidster, Ken was quite a womanizer and gambler. He certainly made a lot of money in commodities futures during WWII, and also had government contracts that made him relatively wealthy for Bainbridge. Member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. He was an alcoholic and was known for overtipping and overspending when inebriated, but he was also a kindly, jovial man who was fun to be around. Fred held a grudge because as a brand-new son-in-law he worked for Ken at Eldred's Feed in Bainbridge. He said that Ken was very demanding and made it clear that he would never advance in the company. I remember Ken much more kindly. He was a fun grampy when his health was good, and Blanche stood by him totally. They moved to Pompano Beach in the mid-1960s and had a condominium on the 14th floor of the Ocean Monach, right near the main pier. We frequently went down to visit and loved every minute of it.

Charles Eugene(9) Eldred - (Charles(8), Daniel(7), Charles(6), Nathan(5), John(4), Capt. John(3), Lt. Thomas(2), Sge. Samuel(1))

As soon as Charles Eugene Eldred was big enough to do so, he was put to work helping in the general store his father conducted at Pleasant Brook. After finishing the local school he attended the Cooperstown Academy where he secured the basis of the accounting ability he used as an occupation in later life. When his father sold the store in Pleasant Brook and re-established himself in business in Oneida, N.Y., he took Charles Eugene into active partnership with him. It was here that he met his future wife, whose father was a prominent farmer, specializing in the breeding of fine horses. The Hitchcocks were descended from an old Massachusetts family and were well-to-do both financially and socially. His wife was well educated at the Canandsigua (N.Y.) Seminary for Young Ladies, an excellent private school in the lower Mohawk Valley.

In 1876 the partnership with his father was dissolved and Charles secured employment in a grocery store in Allegan, Mich., to which place he moved with his family. A couple of years later he moved again, to Muskegon, Mich., to be employed at the Powell Hardware Company. His younger brother, Burdette, had also moved, with his widowed mother, to Muskegon, where he was employed by a local Bank. The entire family now lived in the same city.

His residence in Muskegon covered several years. During this time his wife's grandmother, and an adopted son, named George, also came to live at Muskegon. His brother, Burdette, having removed to Beloit some time before, Charles, in 1894, also followed to Beloit, where he was employed as an accountant by the Fairbanks Morse Co. Soon after his removal to Beloit, and only 6 months after the birth of his second daughter, his wife died. His wife's mother, who had come to live with them, took over the household duties and conducted the home until her death in 1903.

Not long after the death of her grandmother, the younger daughter went to live with her older married sister, and Charles Eugene soon went to Chicago, where he was employed as an accountant by various business firms until his own death.

Charles Eldred grew up on his father's farm near Pleasant Brook, to which his father had moved from the Town of Laurens, Otsego Co., N.Y., two years before (Ot Co Ld Rec). As he grew older he became employed in a local general store, which he purchased shortly after his marriage and which he continued to operate until 1867, when he sold his interests and re-established himself in the same line of activity in Oneida, N.Y., with his eldest son associated with him. He continued active in his Oneida business until his death, from erysipelas, at the age of 49 years. His obituary, as printed in the Oneida paper, follows.

"Charles Eldred of Oneida died at his residence on Main Street, Friday evening, the 20th inst, after one month's illness, in the 49th year of his age. Up to the time of his last illness he had been unusually blessed with good health, and it was believed by his attending physician that the disease from which he suffered would not prove fatal. Up to a few hours before he breathed his last, his friends cherished the hope of recovery.

"Mr. Eldred came to this village seven years agoand, with his eldest son, established himself in business, and gained through his gentlemanly deportment and fair dealings with his fellow man, a reputation more lasting than fame and more honorable to his memory than earthly possessions. Previous to his removal to this place he had spent the major portion of his life in Pleasant Brook, in Otsego County, where he had engaged in a general commercial business, and, at the time of his death, still held an interest in a general store in his town, Rosebloom, and had been the recipient of other marks of honorable distinction by his fellow townspeople, whe best knew him.

"Since his residence in Oneida his business relations with his public, though fraught with strong competition, had earned him deserved to friendship and public esteem, as was apparent on the day of his burial, when stores and other chief places of business were closed out of respect for the departed spirit. The funeral services, held at his late residence on Monday afternoon, were, in spite of the fierce and boisterous weather, attended by a large concourse of Oneida's most respected citizens, assembled to pay their last tribute and respects to one who, in private life, as well as public, was, in the truest sense, a good neighbor and loyal friend.

"His remains were entombed in the Oneida Castle Cemetery. His widow, and three remaining children, of whom Charles Eugene is the eldest surviving son, have the sympathy of our inhabitants in this their sad bereavement."

The family continued to live in the family residence at No. 10, Main St., until after 1885, when they moved to Muskegon, Mich., where the sons had secured employment. Eventually the entire family moved to Beloit, Wis., to take advantage of employment opportunities.

Robert Eldred came to New England about 1635. Entered into a contract of service with Nicholas Simpkins of Yarmouth for a period of three years from July 1639. On May 25, 1639, before the term began, Simpkins assigned this contract with the consent of Eldred, to Mr. Thomas Prince of Plymouth, the later to pay him four pounds per annum and a ewe goat at the end of his term, as agreed by Simpkins, and ten shillings more claimed by Eldred, provided his claim should be established. In August 1643, Eldred was in the list of inhabitants of Plymouth, able to bear arms. On Mar, 3, 1644/5 he was plaintiff and defendent in suits with persons residing at Plymouth. Not long after this he came to Yarmouth, where he married Oct 31, 1649, Elizabeth Nickerson, eldest daughter of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson. He was Constable in 1657. He owned a farm given at Little Bass Pond near his father-in-laws which he sold Feb 25, 1666/7. About this time he removed to Monomoit and settled on a farm given to his wife by her father. His house was situated on the South side of the highway North of Oyster Pond in West Chatham. (Smith History of Chatham).
He died shortly before Jan 18,1682/3 when the inventory of his estate amounting to 316 pounds was taken. His widow, Elizabeth, and son Nicholas were appointed administrators Mar 9, 1682/3. This is the first inventroy record of any Monomoit settler.
The widow died just before May 3, 1706. Although no provision was made for the settlement of Robert's estate, and the names of her children would not so indicate. Mr. C. W. E. Smith, the Chatham Historian thinks Mary Eldredge who married John Smith of Eastham, may have been his eldest daughter.

The information on the first 4 generations was supplied by William Henry Eldredge of Twin Falls, Idaho (deceased) and Charles W. Eldredge of Rochester, NY. All other information compiled from City and Town Records of Harwich, Mass., Beverly and Winchester, Mass., Portland, Oregon, Bellingham, Washington, and records furnished by relatives and descendants of West Daggett Eldredge who came to Beverly, Mass from Harwich, Mass in 1804.

ELDRIDGE FAMILY HOME PAGE
Has information on Robert's descendants

The first Eldridge to come to this shore was actually named Eldred. Robert Eldred is thought to have arrived in New England in 1635 as a servant of Capt. Nichalos (sic) Sympkins. He lived in Plymouth for about 10 years and then went to Yarmouth, MA. His descendents have used the name Eldredg, Eldredge, Eldridge, and Eldrge, sometimes with the same person being listed under several different last names.

Chris and all:

It is unusual in my experience for a young man of 14 to show such an interst in his family's geneology and to express himself in such cogent and intelligent detail. My compliments to you, Chris!

As to your query, I'm sorry I cannot provide you with any information about your immediate line. Allow me, however, to offer you a speculation along with an historical perspective concerning your distant ancestors.

While I doubt the castle legend, you may be interested to know that I think you probably descend from a long line of settlers and that your ancestors had been in America many generations before your great-great (?) grandfather, Charles Eldredge, was born. I suspect your family is connected--in some way, perhaps not directly-- with William Eldredge of Yarmouth, Massachusetts. William is thought to have come from England around 1635. He died approximately 1679. His wife was Anne Lumpkin (her father's name was William Lumpkin; we know her mother only as Tamesin). Anne died November 1, 1676. William and Anne had 10 children: Anne, Sarah, Bridget, Elisha, Betha, Jehosaphat, Joseph, Samuel,
John, William.

When he came to the New World, William Eldredge probably came for religious/political freedom and for the hope of a better life.

Best Wishes,
Richard Eldredge

Dear Carrie,

The most I find out about my ELDRED line, the more confused I'm getting about
the ancestry of my William ELDRED (who married Ann Lumpkin). You have him
listed as the son of Thomas ELDRED and Anna Watson, but some people list him
as the son of Robert ELDRED and Joan? (including Bob Duerigen). You
mentioned the the database you were given has William included as a son of
Thomas and Anna Watson. Do you happen to know where you got that database?
I'm just trying to sort through the evidence for the various theories so that
I can make some sense of this all.

Thanks again for your help!

[NI0019] THE ELDRED FAMILY - manuscript from New Lisbon files

(cont. from John Eldred c1419)
One of these Ipswich descendants was named Samuel Eldred. He was born Nov. 27, 1620. On Nov. 25, 1640 he was married to Elizabeth Miller, of Needham Market, Norfolk, in the church of St. Mary-at-Kay's, in Ipswich, England. The couple seems to have sailed to America very soon after the marriage, for Samuel is on record in Boston in 1641, when he joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston. He was actually living in Cambridge at the time, but he later lived at several other places near Boston, among them being Charlestown, Medford and Chelsea, where he plied his trade of shoemaker and farmed rented lands. In 1660 he moved to Wickford, on the western shore of Narrangansett Bay, in Rhode Island. He and his descendants lived in Rhode Island for the next 100 years, and more. (cont. under Thomas Eldred 1648)

Samuel (1) Eldred. (Thomas(7e) William(6e) Thomas(5e) Nicholas(4e) Thomas(3e) Reginald(2e) John Eldred of Corby.) These are the names of Samuel's ancestors back in England.

b. Nov. 27, 1620 at Ipswich, County Norfolk, England.
d Exact date of death not known because no record exists and his grave is unmarked at the present time. However, it was after April 13, 1697, for he deeded land to his son on that date. A plot of land was set aside from his farm where he was buried. This private cemetery is still in existence, though long unused.
m. Nov. 25, 1640 at St. Mary-at-Kay's, Ipswich, England, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel Miller of Needham Market, County Norfolk, England.

Samuel Eldred was a shoemaker by trade and he probably engaged in that occupation for a time after settling in Cambridge, Mass., for the records do not indicate that he did any farming for some time after he came to New England. He probably farmed rented lands until his removal to Rhode Island. He appears a number of times on the court records of Plymouth Colony, usually as defendant with Edward Hutchinson as his attorney. In fact, Samuel Eldred seems to have been very friendly with the Hutchinson family, which may have been an influence in his decision to move to Rhode Island, which he did in 1668(date illegible). The Hutchinsons had already gone there after Ann Hutchinson's banishment.

He was one of the two signers to the deed by which the Sachems of the Narragansett Indians sold land rights to the new settlers. At first the region purchased was called The Narragansett. He was in the struggle between Connecticutt and Massachusetts for control of the Narragansett region. He represented Connecticut and suffered both persecution and imprisonment in defense of Connecticutt interests, which was appreciated and rewarded by the authorities at Hartford, as the records show. He last appears on public records in 1679.

Being now nearly 60 years old, he probably retired to his farm where he spent the rest of his life. In 1697 he deeded to his son, John, the house and 100 acres of f the homestead. His wife did not [appear] in the deed, so was probably dead. He was buried on the farm and 1/2 [acre] was set off as a private cemetery. HIs original house was still standing, though in ruinous condition, in 1721, and the remains of its foundations were visible as late as 1929.

Children of Samuel and Elizabeth (Miller) Eldred:
I. Elizabeth, b. Oct 26, 1642 in Cambridge, Mass.
II. Samuel, b. Oct. 2, 1644, at Cambridge. (*)
III. Mary, b. June 15, 1646, at Cambridge.
IV. Lt. Thomas, b. Sept. 8, 1648 at Cambridge. (**)
V. James, b. Exact date unknown but prior to 1657.
VI. John, b. Aug. 17, 1659, probably at Chelsea, Mass.
VII. Daniel, b. 1663 at Wickford, Rhode Island.

Robert, William and Samuel Eldredge came to this country, probably in the 1630's, as Samuel was living in Cambridge, Mass. in 1641.
We knew that the branch, (Samuel's) helped the settlement of Virginia. This means that the family has been in the US over 360 years.
The fact that the branch which we call our line, settled around Boston and Cape Cod has been established. We knew that they were Baptists, as they followed Roger Williams to what is now called Rhode Island, when he was driven from Massachusetts, because of his religious faith, as was Anne Hutchinson and her family.
That the Eldredges took an active part in the settlement of Rhode Island has been verified by existing records. For instance; Samuel Eldredge, one of three brothers who first came to America from England, was imprisoned in 1670 by R.I. authorities for assuming to call a jury. In 1674, this same Samuel Eldredge, was granted by the court, 20 rubles (6 shillings and a pence) for his good service in doing and suffering for the colony. Also, it is recorded that the Eldredges and some other brisk hands, went on a "night adventure" with Captain Benjamin Church, capturing 18 Indians. Also a son, Samuel was on a jury, summoned by his father in Kingston, R.I. in 1670.

Samuel ELDRED was born on 27 Nov 1620 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. He was married to Elizabeth MILLER on 25 Nov 1640 in St.Mary At Kays, Ipswich, England.

Samuel, one of the nine early Eldred immigrants to the American Colonies, probably sailed soon after his marriage to Elizabeth inasmuch as he was one of the members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston in 1641. This organization made him a sergeant. He lived in Cambridge for several years and in the general Boston area earning his living as a shoemaker and farming rented lands until 1660. He then moved to Wickford, RI on the western shore of Narragansett Bay. He appears a number of times on the court records of Plymonth Colony, usually as defendent, with Edward Hutchinson as his attorney. In fact, Samuel Eldred seems to have been very friendly with the Hutchinson family, which may have been an influence in his decision to move to Rhode Island, which he did in 1660. The Hutchinsons had already gone there after Ann Hutchinson's banishment from Massachusetts.

Samuel was one of a committee of two who signed the deed by which the Narragansett Indians sold land to the white settlers. In doing so he "made his mark" to verify his signature, hence he could not write his name, a common thing in those days. In 1670 he was elected Constable at Wickford, RI, and at once became a prominent figure in the struggle for authority over the Narragansett Region, which was going on between Massachusetts and Connecticut officials. He represented Connecticut and suffered both persecution and imprisonment in defense of her interests. This was appreciated and rewarded by the officials of Connecticut. He is last mentioned as a public official in 1679.

Samuel Eldred is mentioned in a 1663 request that the area of Narragansett country in dispute between CT and RI be under the protection of CT.

Naraganset 3, July 1663.
We shoe names are under written being the Inhabitants & the proprietors of the lands lying in the Naraganset have & doe desire (according to his Majesties grante) to be under the Govern'tt of Conecticot Collony & Request there protection according to a letter sent in June last. mr. Bradstreet & others have desired the same in ye Letter formerly Mentioned.

(These names are shown with their actual "marke"): Henry Tibit, Sam Eldred, Sam Waite, Tho. Sewell, Sam'l Eldred Junr, Ruben Willis & Armbras Leach.

In 1697 Samuel deeded to his son, John, 100 acres and a house, dying shortly thereafter. He is buried on his own farm, on a plot set aside by his son as "a burying place for our father's family forever." It is still in existence, though long unused an now grown up with weeds and brush. Samuel died between 4-13-1697 and 2-12-1699. His wife Elizabeth died about 1697. They are both thought to be buried in unmarked graves on their farm in the Eldred family burial grounds which is located at the exterme rear boundary of the Elm Grove cemetery in Allenton. It is about three miles south of Wickford and is only a few hundred yards east of the Post Road from Providence to New London. Samuel's son Capt. John Eldred is also buried there. The burial ground is on a half acre of land with several trees and surrounded by a chain fence. There is a marker there labeling it as the Eldred Family Cemetry. There is also an Eldred lot in the Elm Grove cemetery. A. H. Eldridge visited the site of the cemetery on 8 October 1956. It is located on the extreme rear boundry of the Allenton Cemetery. There is no marker for Samuel, nor for his wife Elizabeth. In 1721, his original house was still standing, though in ruinous condition, and the remains of its foundations were visible as late as 1929.

He is buried on his own farm, on a plot set aside by his son as "a burying place for our father's family forever." It is still in existence, though long unused an now grown up with weeds and brush. Samuel died between 4-13-1697 and 2-12-1699. His wife Elizabeth died about 1697. They are both thought to be buried in unmarked graves on their farm in the Eldred family burial grounds which is located at the exterme rear boundary of the Elm Grove cemetery in Allenton. It is about three miles south of Wickford and is only a few hundred yards east of the Post Road from Providence to New London. Samuel's son Capt. John Eldred is also buried there. The burial ground is on a half acre of land with several trees and surrounded by a chain fence. There is a marker there labeling it as the Eldred Family Cemetry. There is also an Eldred lot in the Elm Grove cemetery. A. H. Eldridge visited the site of the cemetery on 8 October 1956. It is located on the extreme rear boundry of the Allenton Cemetery. There is no marker for Samuel, nor for his wife Elizabeth. In 1721, his original house was still standing, though in ruinous condition, and the remains of its foundations were visible as late as 1929.

[NI0047] THE ELDRED FAMILY - from New Lisbon files
(cont from John Eldred c1674)
John (4) Eldred was also a farmer. He lived at various times in East Greenwich, Coventry and Exeter, R.I. He was twice married, butall his 10 children were by his first wife. This family is said to have been Royalist in sentiment at the time of the Revolution, which may account for the fact that all of them, by 1785, had moved to that area east of Albany, N.Y., around Stephentown, Petersburg and Pownal, where most of them lived the rest of their lives. In his old age, John, too, went to live with his children. He died at Pownal in 1784 and was buried in the Eldred Private Cemetery, 3 miles north west of Pownal, Vt.

His 10 children, in order of birth, were, Thomas, Nathan, James, Joband, Patience, his twin, Daniel, Amos, Gardner, Joseph, and John. Of these the families of Daniel and Nathan have been well traced. The families of Job and James have been less well traced, and but little is known about the families of Amos, Gardner, Joseph and Job. Patience married Stephen Harrington, and her descendants are well traced in the Harrington Genealogies. (continued later in this manuscript as follows:)

John(4) Eldred, (Capt. John(3), Lt. Thomas(2), Sgt. Samuel(1))
b. 1712 in N. Kingstown (Exeter) R.I.
d. May 10, 1784 in Pownal, Vt. Buried there.
m. (1st) Aug. 9, 1733, in N. Kingstown, Mary, daughter of Lt. John and Mary (Aylsworth) Greene of Quidnisett, R.I.
m. (2nd) Jan. 31, 1764, in Exeter, Abigail (Fish) Eldred, widow of his brother, William.

Until middle life John Eldred lived in Exeter, apparently on rented lands. He received 50 acres from his father. This he sold and moved to Scituate, R.I. where he remained until 1780. His sons moved away from Scituate, beginning that westward migration of the Eldreds that continues today. Three of his sons, Nathan, Job, Daniel, and a daughter, Patience, with her husband, Stephen Harrington, moved to Pownal, Vermont. Others moved to places in Massachusetts and N.Y.
(In old age John(4) went to Pownal to live with his children there.)

Children:
1. Thomas, b. 1733.
2. James, b. abt. 1739.
3. Nathan, b. March 16, 1742.

5. Job, twin to Patience
6. Daniel, b. Sept. 1, 1749.
7. Amos, b. before 1753.
Possible children of John and Mary Eldred:

10. John, b. Feb. 14, 1754.

"Early Families" notes:
Nothing is known of this man only that he was the father of the following four persons: Nathan, Job, Patience, Daniel. These four children were all born in R.I. and moved to Vermont. Job and Patience came to New Lisbon, N.Y. in 1793. Nathan and Daniel stayed in Vermont. [Only these 4 children listed this source --CEB]

John ELDRED, Captain, was born between 1670 and 1680 in Kingstown, RI. He died before 16 Oct 1741 in North Kingstowne, RI. John Eldred lived in that part of N Kingstown that was set off as Exeter in 1743. He served as an officer in the Third Co of Militia, N Kingstown (Lieutenant in May 1725, Captain in 1726 and in 1730-1736). In 1726 he was the administrator of his father's estate. On Oct 10, 1727 he was appointed an overseer for the estate of John Moss, and on April 9, 1728 he was a witness to the will of Thomas Wilcox. John and his wife, Mary, deeded an acre to John Whitford on Jan 29, 1731, and on Sep 13, 1733 he deeded 50 acres to each of his sons, John and William. The land deeded to his sons adjoined that of Joseph Rathbone. John was "Overseer of the Poor" in 1734, and at that time it was ordered that "Capt. John Eldred have out of the treasury, sixteen shillings for service done for this town [N Kingstowne]." He was executor for the will of his brother, William in Jan 1734, and a member of the Town Council in 1736. His will was filed for probate on Oct 16, 1741. He was married to Mary (last name unknown) after 1700 in Kingstown, RI.

In May, 1725, John was made a lieutenant of the North Kingstown's Third Company of Militia and then a captain of the same company in the following years: 1726, 1730, 1731, 1732, 1733, 1734, 1735, and 1736. (Smith's Civil and Military List of RI).

John was active in community affairs. In 1734 he was Overseer of the Poor and it was ordered that "Captain John Eldred have out of the treasury sixteen shillings for service done for this Town." The town of Exeter was formed from North Kingstown on 8 March 1742 or 1743 and after that date this family became residents of Exeter.

On 16 October 1741, John Eldred's will was probated providing for wife, Mary, a son whose name cannot be made out because of the burned record (but whom the land records show to have been John), sons William, James and Samuel; daughters Mary Eldred, Elizabeth Austin, and Susanna Eldred and grandaughter Sarah Eldred.

During a thunder storm on Wednesday the 10th inst. Mr. Charles Eldred of New Lisbon and Mr. Nathan Eldred and his son took shelter in the stable of a Barn belonging to Nathan Eldred, which was soon struck by a bolt of lightening, and a portion of the fluid tore Charles Eldred's hat open from crown to rim, and shocked him so severely that blood issued from one of his ears. His face was also scathed considerably from the fluid or flying splinters of the siding, and he was severely stunned, but soon recovered. The young man had his legs burnt some. The Barn, to all appearance, was struck in various places, as it appeared to be on fire all over at the first view, and burnt down in a very few minutes. About ten tons of hay were consumed in the Barn, which was insured. (Aug. 22, 1842; P. 2, Col. 6)

One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago (1842)
During a thunder storm on Wednesday the 10th inst. Mr. Charles Eldred of New Lisbon and Mr. Nathan Eldred and his son took shelter in the stable of a Barn belonging to Nathan Eldred, which was soon struck by a bolt of lightening, and a portion of the fluid tore Charles Eldred's hat open from crown to rim, and shocked him so severely that blood issued from one of his ears. His face was also scathed considerably from the fluid or flying splinters of the siding, and he was severely stunned, but soon recovered. The young man had his legs burnt some. The Barn, to all appearance, was struck in various places, as it appeared to be on fire all over at the first view, and burnt down in a very few minutes. About ten tons of hay were consumed in the Barn, which was insured. (Aug. 22, 1842; P. 2, Col. 6)

I have a lost gg grandfather. I have posted before but no one has
responded with a find yet.

Andrew J(ames?) ELDRED, b. unknow but about 1840, married Nancy TILLEY
(1844-1912) in Grafton, New York. They moved to Montevideo, Minnesota some
time between 1870-1880. They may have returned to Grafton about 1885 for a
brief visit and Andrew was said to have returned to Grafton or near there
again in his later years and died there. No dates or places known.

Andrew is son of Aaron ELDRED (1800-1887) and Fanny SMITH, m. about 1817.
There is a small family cemetary in Rensselaer County, "A Eldred Burial
Ground" with five graves .... Reverand Aaron ELDRED, Fanny (SMITH) ELDRED,
Israel R. ELDRED (b prior to Andrew), Elkhana SMITH, (Revelutionary war
soldier), his wife, Hepsibah REYNOLDS.
Family history rumors that Aaron was an attorney and a "fire and brimstone"
preacher of the Church of Christ. (Maybe Baptist)

Rensselaer is/was well populated with ELDRED family. James ELDRED and his
wife Rebeccah AYLESWORTH moved to the area from Rhode Island and raised a
family of 7 or 8 children there. ELDRED lineage is established, at this
point, to Samuel ELDRED of 1620. Can anyone shine any light on the
family of Aaron and where Andrew fits within it?

An RFD Route of Sixty Years Ago
by Wesley A. Beaman

Published in
The Morris Chronicle
January 8, 1908

"It may not be known to many of the rural mail carriers of today that years
ago the Cooperstown papers were delivered to subscribers throughout the
county by carriers from house to house. The fall of 1844, sixty-three years
ago, when the writer was 13 years old, witnessed one of the most exciting
campaigns history records. In that year Polk and Dallas, and Clay and
Frelinghuysen were the candidates respectively for President and
Vice-President. I was living then with my uncle, James H. Kenyon, at
Jacksonville (Mt. Vision), and he was the proprietor of a newspaper route
running south-west from Cooperstown.

Each Saturday morning that fall I left home on horse-back for
Cooperstown, over Buck hill. Reaching the county seat about half-past ten
o'clock, my first call would be at the Freeman's Journal office. Col. John H.
Prentiss was the editor and proprietor, and from him I obtained from 175 to
200 copies of the Journal. From there I crossed the street and called on
Andrew M. Barber and got 150 copies of the Otsego Republican. In the
latter office the late L.P. Carpenter, then 16 years old, was serving a
five-year apprenticeship.

I would get away from Cooperstown about one o'clock p.m. with big
saddlebags full of papers. My first stop was at Hope Factory, where I left several copies. From there to Hartwick village the houses were far apart and I made but few stops. I remember Elisha Fields and a few others. At Hartwick I recall Rufus Conklin, Dr. Head, Sheffield Harrington and Deacon Bissell; and then on down to Robinson tannery, where there were several copies taken. Then down to Linus Shepherd's where I crossed the creek to Mr. Brownell's and then came back and down to Thomas Wilcox's
store at South Hartwick, where I left a number of papers. Then I crossed the creek again to serve Amos Matteson, Isaiah Wright, Nathanial Gardner, and Rhodero Gardner. At the foot of the hill lived Gilbert Stevens, and there I struck the level road into Jacksonville, and always blew a long blast an my
horn to let the people know I was coming....

At one p.m. I was ready to leave Louisville, which I did by the Charlotte
turnpike road across the creek past the Franchot place. All of what is now
Hillington Cemetery was a part of the Franchot farm, excepting that small
plot which was the Franchot and Van Rensaelaer burying place. Passing the
Quaker church I came to Hopestill Cruttenden's (father of Albert and Lee
Cruttenden). On one trip Dr. William Bassett, who boarded at the Yates
hotel, started out with me, and side by side on horseback we went, each with
big saddlebags, for more than a mile together.

Up Patrick Hill first came Isaac Leggett's, then Thomas Furbush's, E
Turner's (father of Andrew Turner), John Patrick's, the Wings (Asa and
Harvey), and on over the hill to Horace Tucker's, Samuel Merrille's, to Butts'
Corners. Here, on almost the same spot where nearing completion stands
the Episcopal church, stood a flourishing whisky distillery, and the
foundation walls of the new church came from the stone walls of the old
still.

In the big stone house on the opposite corner lived a Mr. Strait. Here on the
corners I always blew a blast on my horn to hear the echo! After leaving
some copies there, I took the north road to John Brown's (where a family of
eighteen children were coming on), to Vincent Dunbar's brick mansion,
then ELDRED's and on to the Johnson schoolhouse where at the five corners I
left papers for a Mr. Morse and Uriah Warren, familiarly known as "Farmer
Warren." Mr. Warren met a tragic death in 1850. Having occasion to step
out of his back door one evening, by some mishap he fell of the steps into a
cistern, and was drowned....

The routes were bought and sold like stages routes. My uncle James Kenyon,
sold out to Jared Gardner, and he to his son William, familiarly known as
"Bildad." I think the last carrier on the route was Nehemiah Daniels, forty
years ago. Mr. Griffith sold his route to Orrelius Gardner, a brother of
William. And now one of the R.F.D. carriers from Mt. Vision, going over a
portion of the same old route, is Arthur Gardner of the fourth generation
direct from Jared Gardner. Many of the patrons had roughly constructed
mail boxes, very similar to the boxes used when the modern R.F.D. first
opened up for business. Often however the people or their children, notified
by the carrier's horn, were out to the road anxious to get their paper, for its
weekly visit brought to them about all the news they got of the outside
world, and often also the continuing chapters of an interesting serial story.

Quite a contrast with to-day, when even the daily paper, which is left at the
farmhouse door every day, has been distanced by the telephone which hangs
on the wall inside the farmhouse. Those were slow days back there,
compared with this day of the telegraph, the telephone, the trolly road, the
steam car, the automobile, the motorcycle, the daily R.F.D. and the
possibilities of navigation in the air looming right before us, to be
accomplished in this generation- But yet, we look back sometimes with
regret that those old days are gone forever; the people as neighborhood
communities enjoyed themselves socially more than they do now, the world
wasn't rushing along at such speed as now, and we had more time; the
people were just as contented, just as happy, and I think the boys and girls
enjoyed themselves just as much as now, and more, for in the country
districts there were more of them. "

An RFD Route of Sixty Years Ago
by Wesley A. Beaman

Published in
The Morris Chronicle
January 8, 1908

"It may not be known to many of the rural mail carriers of today that years
ago the Cooperstown papers were delivered to subscribers throughout the
county by carriers from house to house. The fall of 1844, sixty-three years
ago, when the writer was 13 years old, witnessed one of the most exciting
campaigns history records. In that year Polk and Dallas, and Clay and
Frelinghuysen were the candidates respectively for President and
Vice-President. I was living then with my uncle, James H. Kenyon, at
Jacksonville (Mt. Vision), and he was the proprietor of a newspaper route
running south-west from Cooperstown.

Each Saturday morning that fall I left home on horse-back for
Cooperstown, over Buck hill. Reaching the county seat about half-past ten
o'clock, my first call would be at the Freeman's Journal office. Col. John H.
Prentiss was the editor and proprietor, and from him I obtained from 175 to
200 copies of the Journal. From there I crossed the street and called on
Andrew M. Barber and got 150 copies of the Otsego Republican. In the
latter office the late L.P. Carpenter, then 16 years old, was serving a
five-year apprenticeship.

I would get away from Cooperstown about one o'clock p.m. with big
saddlebags full of papers. My first stop was at Hope Factory, where I left several copies. From there to Hartwick village the houses were far apart and I made but few stops. I remember Elisha Fields and a few others. At Hartwick I recall Rufus Conklin, Dr. Head, Sheffield Harrington and Deacon Bissell; and then on down to Robinson tannery, where there were several copies taken. Then down to Linus Shepherd's where I crossed the creek to Mr. Brownell's and then came back and down to Thomas Wilcox's
store at South Hartwick, where I left a number of papers. Then I crossed the creek again to serve Amos Matteson, Isaiah Wright, Nathanial Gardner, and Rhodero Gardner. At the foot of the hill lived Gilbert Stevens, and there I struck the level road into Jacksonville, and always blew a long blast an my
horn to let the people know I was coming....

At one p.m. I was ready to leave Louisville, which I did by the Charlotte
turnpike road across the creek past the Franchot place. All of what is now
Hillington Cemetery was a part of the Franchot farm, excepting that small
plot which was the Franchot and Van Rensaelaer burying place. Passing the
Quaker church I came to Hopestill Cruttenden's (father of Albert and Lee
Cruttenden). On one trip Dr. William Bassett, who boarded at the Yates
hotel, started out with me, and side by side on horseback we went, each with
big saddlebags, for more than a mile together.

Up Patrick Hill first came Isaac Leggett's, then Thomas Furbush's, E
Turner's (father of Andrew Turner), John Patrick's, the Wings (Asa and
Harvey), and on over the hill to Horace Tucker's, Samuel Merrille's, to Butts'
Corners. Here, on almost the same spot where nearing completion stands
the Episcopal church, stood a flourishing whisky distillery, and the
foundation walls of the new church came from the stone walls of the old
still.

In the big stone house on the opposite corner lived a Mr. Strait. Here on the
corners I always blew a blast on my horn to hear the echo! After leaving
some copies there, I took the north road to John Brown's (where a family of
eighteen children were coming on), to Vincent Dunbar's brick mansion,
then ELDRED's and on to the Johnson schoolhouse where at the five corners I
left papers for a Mr. Morse and Uriah Warren, familiarly known as "Farmer
Warren." Mr. Warren met a tragic death in 1850. Having occasion to step
out of his back door one evening, by some mishap he fell of the steps into a
cistern, and was drowned....

The routes were bought and sold like stages routes. My uncle James Kenyon,
sold out to Jared Gardner, and he to his son William, familiarly known as
"Bildad." I think the last carrier on the route was Nehemiah Daniels, forty
years ago. Mr. Griffith sold his route to Orrelius Gardner, a brother of
William. And now one of the R.F.D. carriers from Mt. Vision, going over a
portion of the same old route, is Arthur Gardner of the fourth generation
direct from Jared Gardner. Many of the patrons had roughly constructed
mail boxes, very similar to the boxes used when the modern R.F.D. first
opened up for business. Often however the people or their children, notified
by the carrier's horn, were out to the road anxious to get their paper, for its
weekly visit brought to them about all the news they got of the outside
world, and often also the continuing chapters of an interesting serial story.

Quite a contrast with to-day, when even the daily paper, which is left at the
farmhouse door every day, has been distanced by the telephone which hangs
on the wall inside the farmhouse. Those were slow days back there,
compared with this day of the telegraph, the telephone, the trolly road, the
steam car, the automobile, the motorcycle, the daily R.F.D. and the
possibilities of navigation in the air looming right before us, to be
accomplished in this generation- But yet, we look back sometimes with
regret that those old days are gone forever; the people as neighborhood
communities enjoyed themselves socially more than they do now, the world
wasn't rushing along at such speed as now, and we had more time; the
people were just as contented, just as happy, and I think the boys and girls
enjoyed themselves just as much as now, and more, for in the country
districts there were more of them. "

Carrie,

According to my calculations, my Great Grandmother, Lousia Eldred and your Great Great Grandfather, Charles Eugene Eldred were brother and sister. So I think I need the whole Eldred file, but so far I'm having a good time entering them one by one.

Then just to confuse things, Phebe Jane Myers who is the daughter of Lousia Eldred and Charles Perry Myers is my Great Grandmother on my Mom's side.

So my families run together at Lousia Eldred, it makes it nice for doing the family tree as there is not so many branches to trace.

I guess this makes you my cousin twice. :-)

Carrie,

Like I said I am very new to the Family Tree thing. I did get your file open and see some mistakes. The two aunts that did so much work on my tree were Carrie and Fannie Myers. Actually they are Caroline and Frances. Let me figure out how to compare the information and then how to get you the Myers file. I have it back to 1708 which is Nicholas (Mias) Myers who came over from Holland.

I need to finish putting in some current information as I got tired of entering the people I know and was more interested in where I came from. We have lots of cousins here in the west, however I didn't know many of them as I was the youngest of the litter and our family didn't get together very often, as the main branches were in Calf. and Oregon and Colorado. The rest of the kids in my family are more familiar with the cousins as they grew up with them back in Iowa and S. Dakota before my parents moved west where I was born.

I can't tell you how excited I am to find someone to share information with, I have been having a ball with your Internet file information and now having a real person to talk to is even neater....

Send me your phone number so I can call you if I get stuck getting my file split up. By the way I am in Idaho so we are not that far apart.

I was talking to my brother and found out that my other brother has 2 notebooks of info that traces our family back to at least Julius Caesar (sp?). I am getting these books to look at and make copies of. I will let you know what I find out and give you a copy if you want it. He also said there is another Myers cousin that has done lots of research and even has gone over to England. I will try to get that from her when my brother comes next month. Mom is working on letting my Aunt know that I want to get in touch with my cousin Cheryl who is now in Boston. I think she is the one that ended up with Aunt Carries book.

My brother is bring me his family pictures when he comes in Sept. so maybe I can get you scans of some of them.

If I manage to get all this info together we should have a big tree, or maybe more of a forest. :-)

Carrie,

The book my brother brought over was put together by Micheal Casburn of Littleton, Co. Have you seen that one? I have found a ton of mistakes in it already when compared with the info from my Mom and Aunt Carrie. Some of the things I know about myself are even wrong. Now I am worried about using any of his info, however he does have some dates I am missing.

Like you said, I need to do my own research and not trust anybody elses.

Thanks for the list you sent last night, I will have to check out some history books and see who some of these people are. I will get you some pictures when I get some scans done, but I can see this is going to be a long project for me. I was hoping to get all my data entered and then go on to doing my husbands. His grandparents came over from Germany and his dad was an only child so it is going to be really hard to find any information. Nick is not much help as he doesn't even know his grandparents names and both his Dad and Mom are gone. I told him too bad I didn't marry into an important family like he did. :-)

Thanks again for all your help and I am sure you will be hearing more from me.

He was a wealthy farmer and a Lieutenant in the local militia. He married the granddaughter of Ann Hutchinso [sic], the famous Colonial religious figure. He died in 1725, leaving 10 children, the eldest of whom was named John.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thomas ELDRED Lieutenant was born on 8 Jul 1648 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. He died in 1726 in North Kingstown, RI. He was married to Susanna COLE between 1670 and 1675 in Kingstown, RI. Susanna COLE was born about 1653. She died about 1726.

Nothing is known of the early life of Thomas Eldred. As a boy he must have lived in Wickford on Narragansett Bay with his parents. By the time he was a young man, his father, as well as others of his relatives, had moved to Kingstown. It is most probable that he lived in Kingstown and eventually married a girl who was the daughter of a family long friendly to the Eldreds.

The marriage is not recorded, but must have taken place between 1670 and 1675. The newly married couple settled at once on a farm in Kingstown and apparently spent the rest of their days on it, certainly in that vicinity. During his lifetime, he acquired considerable property and was the wealthiest Eldred of his generation.

In 1686 he was elected Constable of Kingstown; in 1692 Thomas was made a lieutenant in the militia, in 1703 he was appointed with others to lay out a highway (Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, J.O. Austin, p72).

He and his wife Susanna were still living in 1721, having deeded land to Nicholas Gardiner (their son-in-law) in that year. Thomas died intestate and the administration was granted to his son John in 1726. Susanna was probably not living at this time since she is not mentioned in the settlement of the estate.

Thomas ELDRED Lieutenant was born on 8 Jul 1648 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. He died in 1726 in North Kingstown, RI. He was married to Susanna COLE between 1670 and 1675 in Kingstown, RI. Susanna COLE was born about 1653. She died about 1726.

Nothing is known of the early life of Thomas Eldred. As a boy he must have lived in Wickford on Narragansett Bay with his parents. By the time he was a young man, his father, as well as others of his relatives, had moved to Kingstown. It is most probable that he lived in Kingstown and eventually married a girl who was the daughter of a family long friendly to the Eldreds.

The marriage is not recorded, but must have taken place between 1670 and 1675.

NY who is working on your line and has much on the Elred family. I am hoping
she will contact you. Eldred is a secondary line. She also has some
knowledge on the HARRINGTON line. I am interested in the childred of Spencer
S. Harrington who married into my CUMMINGS line which, I am researching.

My name and address is:Barry C.K. Moravek, 2387 Carriage Ave,, Richland, Wa.

Thomas ELDRED Lieutenant was born on 8 Jul 1648 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. He died in 1726 in North Kingstown, RI. He was married to Susanna COLE between 1670 and 1675 in Kingstown, RI. Susanna COLE was born about 1653. She died about 1726.

She was born in R.I. in 1774 (sic). Died in Otsego County, N.Y., 1812. Buried at Mt. Vision Cemetery. Married Stephen Harrington (brother of Mercy Harrington).

Refers to large family tree in book, not copied.

Moved to Otsego County, New York, in 1793 (New Lisbon files manuscript)

[NI0339] Rudolphus, when he was 3 years old, moved with his father in 1835 from Laurens to a farm near Alabama, Erie, NY where he grew up. They were a part of a considerable migration of Eldreds and their friends and neighbors to this part of Erie and adjacent Genesee Counties. Amoung this group were Jacksons, Andersons, Harringtons, John Eldred, the Darts and others. Soon after his marriage in 1854, Rudolphus bought a farm near Alabama on which he farmed for several years. Responding to the urge to seek better lands in the West, he sold this farm in 1863 and the next year moved to Stockbridge Wisconsin where he purchased a farm on which he resided until his death. His first wife Malinda died two years later in 1866. He married Hannah Newton in 1868. His father accompanied him to Wisconsin and died there in 1871. Rudolphus is often referred to in New York records as "Rudolph".

Rudolphus died in 1889 and Hannah died in 1897. Rudolphus, Malinda and Hannah are all buried together in the Portland Cemetery in Brant WI east of Stockbridge. Also buried near him is a Dale Eldred with a date Sept 2, 1922. I don't know if this is a birthdate or date of death.

Carrie,

I have attached three gedcoms. MURPHY.GED is the descendants of Rodolphus
Eldred, my gg grandfather. ANCESTOR.GED is Rodolphus' ancestors.
ELDRED.GED is descendants of Rodolphus' ancestors. I hope that makes sense. I had to split them up so my computer could work with them easier (and faster). I have collected this information from various sources and the accuracy may be far from correct.

I have not been able to find anything about Hannah Cole other than she
may have been born in 1776 and died Feb 18, 1832. I also have been unable
to find any information on Ruth and Obadiah Spencer.

It looks like your side of the family stayed in Otsego county longer than mine.
Rodolphus' father moved to Genesee county NY and then on to Wisconsin.
Do you know if there are any Eldred still in Otsego county?

If you will send me your gedcom, I'd love to have your information. If you
have any questions with mine, let me know.

Stockbridge is on the east side of Lake Winnebago, about half way up. It is
about 8 miles NW of Chilton. Brant is just a crossroads about 3 mile east
of Stockbridge. I have been able to go back there the past two years and
visit the cemeterys where four of my great grandparents, four gg and two ggg
grandfathers are buried. It was quite an experience. There are still
Eldreds and Murphys living on the original farms.

Carrie, I saw your query in/on the Eldridge list. I THINK that
I am a descendant of Thomas Eldred. Down the line from Thomas,
John,John, comes Gardiner, who is listed as a "probable " son of John.
Of course I would like to know more about whether he really is
or not, in the meantime I am claiming him until such time as I find
out a definite, one way or the other, which will probably never
happen. I pulled information off of my computer program (Family
Roots) which I am in the process of trying to get it ready to
transfer to " The Master Genealogist" problem being that all folks
without numbers either have to have a number assigned, or they will
assign 2 for each of them. Therefore there are some wives and
children of the 4th generation who are listed in the
notes section. # 34 Samuel and 1st wife Martha (Patty) Welch,
are my ancestors, their daughter Elsie Eldridge married Marshall
Stone of Auburn Mass, Marshall and Elsie were my great grandparents.
the ancestors of "Patty" are also, considered "probable"
I did not have any information on the ancestors of Samuel the
immigrant, where did you find that? I first located
information on the Eldridge family in the New England Historic
Genealogical Library, Manuscript Collection. Later I corresponded
with Nelson Eldred III who has written an Eldred book, but had no
information prior to Samuel the immigrant.
I hope that I can successfully attatch the infromation. Sometimes
it does not come out, I did send it to myself, and when downloaded
and brought up in "Word Perfect" it came out OK. I tried to go to
the web page listed at the bottom of your query but could not find it.
I tried search and found your quilt page, but had a hard time with
the colors. Pretty, but hard to read.
Best of luck, Bennie S. Larj, in SC

Bless you for all your hard work. I just found about 10 more
generations than I had before of the Eldredge family on your web page.
I have a lot of research on the Thomas Chester that married Sarah
Eldredge(1725-1798). Thomas Chester and sarh Eldredge were married
October 26, 1742 in Stonington,CT by Rev. Nathaniel Eells. If you would
like more of this I have it on The Family Tree Maker. One interesting
bit that I found weas that you have Charles Eldredge(1720-1795) married
to Mary Starr (1722-1779). I also have a Mary Starr (1696 - 1174) married
to John Chester (father of the previous Thomas Chester). There were
Starr's in the New London area, maybe there were 2 Mary Starr's? Do you
know any more about this? Again, thank you for the tremendous research
information.

Carrie:
I found your web site while trying to find a definite link between Sarah
Niles who Married Rouse Helme ... I discovered that you have a considerable amount of info on the Helme and Niles families. My Perkins line comes from Sarah Niles (mentioned above) and her sister, Tabitha Niles who married Abraham Perkins. Nearly everywhere I've looked, I've seen Tabitha's family without Sarah. Where did you find that information? Also, from where did you get all of the info on the Helme's? I'd very much appreciate your sharing your data sources with me.
My research is not nearly as extensive as yours but, I'd be willing to
share anything that you might wish to have. I have Family Tree Maker, so I could easily send you a FTM file attached to an e-mail note if your e-mail software will handle that.

A EULOGY

ROBERT DIXON HALL SR.
BORN: 10 FEB. 1904
DIED: 04 DEC. 1977

THERE WAS A MAN--- HE WAS NO DIPLOMAT , GENIUS OR SAINT

HE WAS A COMMON MAN, QUITE SIMPLE AND PLAIN

HE WAS A DRINKING AND GAMBLING MAN TOO-- NOW NO ONE CAN DENY.
AND THE STORIES HE TOLD-- WELL, HE NEVER HARMFULLY LIED.

HE WASN'T A WEALTHY MAN, HE WORKED LONG AND HARD AND DIRTY.

DRIVING A TRUCK FOR MORE YEARS THAN THIRTY.

HE FATHERED FOUR CHILDREN AND SO WITHOUT HIM WE WOULD NOT BE HERE, SINCE FROM HIM AND NANA CAME OR MOTHERS AND DADS SO DEAR.

HE WAS A MOST SENSITIVE MAN, THO HE PRETENDED A HARDNESS OF STONE. BUT WE KNEW THE REAL STRENGTH HE HAD CAME FROM THE LOVE HE HAD AT HOME, FROM HIS WIFE OF FIFTY YEARS HE FOUND A SOFTNESS IN HIS SOUL, SO HIS UNDERSTANDING OF TRUE PEACE HAS HELPED HIM REACH HIS GOAL.

HIS LOVE FOR HIS TWENTY GRANDKIDS WAS APPARENT AND TRUE

HE WAS RICH WITH HIS TIME AND ATTENTION, TOO. HE CARED FOR US-- H WAS CONCERNED.

IT SEEMED HE WOULD MAKE UP FOR THE LESSONS HE LEARNED, WHEN IN THE PAST HE WAS STRICT AND HARD-HEARTED, BUT HE GREW AND HE MELLOWED, AND NOW HE'S DEPARTED.

AND WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR GRAMPY, THAT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, TO FIND PEACE IN OURSELVES AND OUR GOD, WHO'S ARE FATE.

I am searching my HARRINGTON line which includes ELDRED. Does any of
this fit your information?

Perry G. HARRINGTON married Maryette ELDRED 12 May 1836 in White Pigeon,
Michigan. Perry b. 9 Jul 1812, Laurens Twp, Otsego Co, NY (father John
Harrington? and Hannah Parker?) His sister, Alvira, b. abt 1792, Laurens
Twp, Otsego Co, NY. Alvire (Harrington) Root, d. 10 Jul 1826, buried
Falls Bridge Cemetery, New LisbonTwp, NY.

Maryette ELDRED was born in NY.

If any of this seems to fit in, I would be delighted to share
information.

Subject: Harrington-Eldred

Barry forwarded your query to me and it looks like we are certainly
related! I have notes of Perry Greene Harrington son of Job Harrington and
Hannah Parker. Do you also know that Perry's brother, Olney Harrington mar
Maryette's sister Hannah Eldred. They resided in Tekamah, Nebraska. The
Eldred sisters were dau of Nathan (6) Eldred and his first wife, Hannah
Cole. My ancestor was Solomon Eldred who was the eldest son of Nathan and
Hannah and the brother of your Maryette. Solomon mar Sabrina Harrington dau
of James (4) Harrington and Mary Spencer. James and Job Harrington were
both sons of Stephen (3) Harrington and Patience Eldred. So, Sabrina was a
1st cousin of your Perry Harrington. A 4th child of Nathan and Hannah Cole
Eldred was Audrey Eldred who mar Jeremiah Harrington, Sabrina's bro. So 4
of their 9 known children mar Harringtons! Must be they were quite
compatible, but there is more.

All of these brides and grooms were marrying their own 2nd cousins!
Patience Eldred, wife of Stephen Harrington, was a dau of John Eldred and
Mary Greene. (Her twin bro was Job Eldred). Nathan Eldred, husb of Hannah
Cole, was the son of Nathan Eldred (brother of Patience) and Ruth Spencer,
and grson of John Eldred and Mary Greene. Complicated isn't it? Hope you
can draw a diagram to see how it goes. Would love more dates on Maryette
and any details you have. I'm estimating James Harrington b ca 1770/1 and
Job Harrington b. ca 1768 but not sure. Don't have all this on computer to
send but can check for info if you need it. They all seem to have come from
RI to Otsego Co. NY and on to the mid-west. I didn't have any info on
Alvira Harrington Root.

A Eldred researcher in the 1940's wrote that Perry and Maryette mar at
White Pigeon MI and settled on a farm in the town of Sugar Creek, Walworth
Co WI. In old age they moved to Elkhorn WI and died there. Their
descendants still live on the home farm and others live in and near Elkhorn.
This reasearcher taught school for a time in Elkhorn whre Delos Harrington
grandson of Maryette, was a pupil.

Please send me your lineage so we can figure out our connection, maybe
double 4th cousins? Good luck. Nancy Smith

We believe we descend from one of these children,Joseph,born 28 Feb 1759 married to Rhoda Goodale. I will be happy to send you a copy of the family group records she worked up for inclusion in your Eldred tree. Also I'd like to thank you for the time and effort you put forth in

Stukely Ellsworth and his bride dwelt in Otsego County, New York. First settling in the town of Laurens, but shortly moving north, to the town of Hartwick, about a half of a mile east of South Hartwick post office. He was Justice of the Peace, Supervisor of the Town, Assemblyman three times, and State Senator two terms. The "Green Book" says, he was elected to the New York State Senate in November of 1824, to serve four sessions. In going to or returning from Albany, he was injured by an accident to the stage, from which he never fully recovered. He died suddenly, while cutting wood at his house, March 31, 1837. He was buried on his own farm, but later his remains were removed to the cemetery. Which laid on the west side of the creek and between the villages of South Hartwick and Jacksonville.

Carrie,

I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I had a very busy week, but here's what I have about Leonard Aylsworth.

Leonard Aylsworth, b. 4 Jan 1796 in Otsego County, New York, d. 10 Oct 1842 in Branch County, Michigan, married Permilla Pride in 1821. They had 5 children. I have statistics on all if you want them.

Leonard’s parents were Stukely Stafford Aylsworth and Marcia (Mercy) Harrington. Stukely was born 26 Sep 1769 and died 31 Mar 1837 (in Hartwick, Otsego County, New York.) He married Marcia in Otsego County. Marcia was born 20 May 1775 to Stephen Harrington and Patience Eldred. I have tons about this family, (the Harringtons,) as well. Stukely and Marcia had 8 children that I’m aware of. I have birthdates and spouses if you want them.

Stukely’s parents were Judiah Aylsworth and Rosanna Edwards. Judiah married Ruth Draper on 1 Apr. 1745. They had at least one child. Then Judiah married Rosanna on 11 Mar 1764. Rosanna’s previous husband’s name was Stukely Stafford. Her father’s name was Jonathan Edwards. Judiah and Rosanna had 5 children. Again, I have more on these children if you want it, but no birthdates for Judiah or Rosanna. Judiah died July 1800 in Pownal, Vermont and Rosanna died in 1809 in Saratoga, New York.

One source I found listed Judiah’s parents as Arthur Aylesworth and Mary Franklin. Now that I look back at my notes I’m doubting this source. Arthur and Mary were born in 1683. If Judiah was about 20 when he first married, then Arthur and Mary would have been about 40 years old at Judiah’s birth. Nowadays giving birth at 40 is no big deal, but back than? Perhaps there’s a missing generation.

I checked out you web page. It's very nice. Let me know if you want any more info.

Dear Carrie,

I saw your information on the ELDRED/ELDREDGE family, and I'm hoping that you might be able to help me with my research. I'm feeling particular pressure to
make headway with this line since I will be travelling to Maine on vacation
this summer. This line is one of my few lines that has a Maine branch, so I'd
like to know as much as possible about the family before I go to make the
visit more meaningful.

I am researching the family of Mary ELDREDGE (or ELDRIDGE). All I know about
her so far is that she married Judah BAKER and they had a daughter Jane BAKER. Their daughter Jane was born 8 June 1761 and married Ebenezer GAGE in 1780 in Barnstable, MA.

I suspect that she may be the daughter of John Eldredge (born in 1715/1716 in
Kittery, ME) and Elizabeth Gorham. If this connection holds up, then her
father John was apparently the son of John Eldredge and Mary Jenkins, and that
John Senior was the son of Samuel Eldredge and Keziah Taylor, and Samuel was the son of Wiliam Eldredge ad Anne Lumpkin. However, I got this information about this connection from an unsubstantiated source, so I am looking for any other sources of information which could help support this connection. I know there is a lot of information available about this ELDRED/ELDREDGE family, but I don't want to get excitied about it until I can substantiate my connection.

Do you happen to have any information about this particular branch of the
family? Could you recommend some of the sources you used to get your
information? I realize that this may be a collateral and unimportant line to
you, but any help you could give me at all in finding references to this
family would be very much appreciated. I've been stuck on this line for a
while, and summer is coming up fast!

Thanks so much for your help!

I have a lost gg grandfather. I have posted before but no one has
responded with a find yet.

Andrew J(ames?) ELDRED, b. unknow but about 1840, married Nancy TILLEY
(1844-1912) in Grafton, New York. They moved to Montevideo, Minnesota some
time between 1870-1880. They may have returned to Grafton about 1885 for a
brief visit and Andrew was said to have returned to Grafton or near there
again in his later years and died there. No dates or places known.

Andrew is son of Aaron ELDRED (1800-1887) and Fanny SMITH, m. about 1817.
There is a small family cemetary in Rensselaer County, "A Eldred Burial
Ground" with five graves .... Reverand Aaron ELDRED, Fanny (SMITH) ELDRED,
Israel R. ELDRED (b prior to Andrew), Elkhana SMITH, (Revelutionary war
soldier), his wife, Hepsibah REYNOLDS.
Family history rumors that Aaron was an attorney and a "fire and brimstone"
preacher of the Church of Christ. (Maybe Baptist)

Rensselaer is/was well populated with ELDRED family. James ELDRED and his
wife Rebeccah AYLESWORTH moved to the area from Rhode Island and raised a
family of 7 or 8 children there. ELDRED lineage is established, at this
point, to Samuel ELDRED of 1620. Can anyone shine any light on the
family of Aaron and where Andrew fits within it?

Joseph apparently assumed the guardianship of his sister, Anne, after Stephen gave up this responsibility. A probate record in Scituate shows Joseph at court on December 21, 1795, as the guardian of Anne, and requesting settlement of her estate since he is about to move out of Rhode Island. His destination may have been Pittstown, NY as a Joseph Eldred was head of a family there in the census of 1810. He later moved to Fairfield, where he died before 1830; Catherine was listed as the head of the family at the census of 1830.

I am desperately searching for ancestry of Joseph Eldred (born in RI) who probably died in the Fairfield VT/Bakersfield VT vicinity in the early 1800's; married to Catherine .

He had sons Stephen and Alfred, both probably born in RI. I suspect he was somehow related to the Eldred family that migrated to Otsego NY.

I think that my "Joseph" may be the son of one of John and Mary's children. These were the Eldreds who settled in Northwestern VT in the early 1800's. My other suspicion is that perhaps I can find nothing on my "Joseph" because I'm looking in the wrong direction. Might he possibly be Joseph, son of John Eldred and Mary Greene? That one is a longshot.

Do you have any information in that area, or any ideas where to look? I'll appreciate any assistance you could give.

Thank you VERY much for the Joseph Eldred. My impression is that you and other Eldred researchers have been on the other side of the same dead end we have been on (we couldn't find any of Joseph & Catherine Eldred's ancestors; you couldn't find his descendants).

I've actually discovered some Eldred details that I mentally cast aside, which now fit into the puzzle. There is a clan of Eldreds down in the vicinity of Pownal VT, buried at the Ammon Fowler Farm there which I now believe may very well be Joseph's brothers/sisters.

I visited the Vermont Vital Statistics office in Middlesexx VT about 6
months ago and saw many Eldred birth/marriage/death records for those Eldreds. I didn't write any of them down (novice that I am) because at that time I didn't know of the connection.

I don't yet have a well written report. But keep bugging me so I don't
forget, and I'll work on assembling some data for you. Or if you prefer, I can attempt to email a Family Tree Maker file or GEDCOM file (which ever you prefer) as an enclosure.

I am also very interested in swapping GEDCOM's. If you could send me yours, I would greatly appreciate it.

In response to your comment about Pittstown NY, I am told by my newly discovered umpteenth cousin fello Eldred researcher that this Joseph would indeed be the one in Pittstown NY.

Her Aunt Lena (very old), used to listed to the stories of Lucy Eldred,
sister of Stephen's son Stephen Albert. She spoke of the Pittstown NY connection. Some records indicate Pittstown RI. But supposedly it was Pittstown NY. Do you know what the resource for the Pittstown NY info is? It would be nice to put that ambiguity to rest?

Again, let me know how I can best provide you with my complementary information.

Regards,
Jerry L. Eldred (g-g-g-g-grandson of Joseph & Catherine (Daly) Eldred)

Carrie,

I am so glad I was able to visit your family home page. I am doing
research on the Trude family and Tom Trude, tltrude@intplsrv.net, who is also doing research, sent me an e-mail in regards to your home page and asked me to give it a visit.

I originally had Elizabeth with a surname of Eldridge instead of
Eldred. I will be making corrections in my data file. Thank you so
much for making this information available. It's a very good site.

Is there any information that you might have regarding William D.
Trude's family? His father was John Trude, b. 1750. He had brothers
John Albert, Nathan Baker, and Norris Trude. He also had 3 sisters that
we have no further information on. If you can be of help, I would very
much appreciate it.

Thank you and have a good day!

[NI1469] Married his cousin Elizabeth Wells.

My name is Priscilla (ELDRED) POLLMAN. I am in Libby, Montana.

I have my ELDRED line traced back to, my grandfather Hobart C. ELDRED b.11 Nov 1873, d. 30 Apr 1927, son of Andrew J ELDRED b. ?, d. ?, son of Aaron ELDRED b. 1800, d. ?, son of James ELDRED and Rebeccah AYLESWORTH b. 1775. I have one more generation of Rebeccah but I have no information of when Andrew was born or died or where he died. He married Nancy TILLEY b. 14 Mar 1844, d. 5 June 1912, of Grafton, Rensselaer, NY, as was he and they moved to Minnesota. Family lore says he planned a trip to Grafton for a visit. No futher knowledge is available as to whether he went, took ill before, though he isn't buried in Minneapolis, MN where his wife is. He isn't in the cemetary with Aaron and that group.

Aaron ELDRED was a minister and I have located a very small cemetary where he, his wife, one son and his in laws are buried near Grafton. Rebeccah was born in Coventry, Kent, RI so I wonder if this may be where the ELDRED name came from into NY.

I see ELDRED, ELDREDGE & ELDRIDGE mixed throughout your lineage. Do you have knowledge of why the changes?

What sources have you drawn your information from? I watch this board faithfully and work the Mormon archives at the local library in Libby.

Our ELDRED line was two wide at my Grandfather, Hobart and Aaron. Hobart had two sons, Aaron no children. One of Hobart's, Raymond, didn't marry and Alvin, my father had one son and one daughter (me). Harold was the name carrier and bloodline. He has two sons, Andrew and Michael. Andrew has two sons and could expand further and Michael just had their first, a daughter. I believe more will be heard from that corner. Andrew is in Sanford, NC and Michael in Cottage Grove, MN.

I am anxious to hear from you. Priscilla

Will give you a brief line on Silas Card. He was born May 13, 1770 in
E.Greenwich, Kent Co., RI, the son of Jonathan Card and Sarah Matteson.
Jonathan was the son of William Card and Mercy Briggs. William was the son of
Peleg Card and Rebecca Dolover. Peleg was the son of James Card and Ruth
Havens. James was the son of Job Card, Sr. and Rebecca Card, a cousin of his.
Job was the son of Richard Card, the immigrant ancestor. Job was also born in
England.
I am lousy on the computer- if you give me your address, I will print out
an outline of Silas and Elizabeth's descendants. I don't know how to e-mail
part of my file without sending the whole thing, which believe me, you do not

Dear Carrie,
I was checking out the internet today, and found some of your information
on the Eldreds. Back in the 70's and early 80's, I did quite a bit of
research also. I notice many of the same names - Samuel, Daniel, Caleb, Phebe
(Brownell), etc. I am curious as to whether you have written a book. If so,
I would like to obtain a copy of it
Just a little more about my side - my name now, is Sue Owens Dodge - one
of the daughters of Bertha Luella Oates Owens. My mother was one of five
daughters of Christina Mae Eldred Oates. My grandmother was born in Moline,
KS. on Nov. 22, 1889. I have some old pictures showing Eugene Melville
Eldred's house is KS.
I would very much like to communicate with you if you think we are of the
same family tree. Please let me know. Thanks for your time.

Dear Carrie,
I was delighted to hear from you so quickly. I apologize for not having
a web page, but I have only been online for a month. Working full time, I do
not have the time, I would like to have.

Very Brief Summary of My Family Line:

I think we probably share Daniel Eldred & Amy Vaughn, as ancestors.
Their son, Caleb married Phebe Brownell - had a son, Caleb, Jr.
Caleb, Jr. married Amanda Melvina Gardner or Gardiner - had a son, Eugene
Melville
Eugene Melville married Eunice Philena Sherman - had twins, one of which was
my great-grandfather, Louis Harvey
Louis Harvey married Susanna Eulalie Cooper - my grandmother, Christina Mae
was born from this marriage
Christina Mae married Robert Wyatt Oates - my mother, Bertha Luella, was one
of their 5 children
Bertha Luella married my Dad, J.C. Owens (initials only) - my sister, Cynthia
Dianne and myself, Sue Darlane were born.

I know there are many links in between, and I have much information I
would like to share with you. If you let me know where to begin, I will do
the very best I can.

My best to you - please stay in touch. It's nice, to have contacted
someone with the same interest as I have.

Due to the hours I sometimes work, I may have to send this in segments. At

1813 in Burlington, Vermont. Her parents were Josaih Stoddard and Sarah
Roberts. In listing their children I have 1 extra child than you do.

Also the birth date you list as belonging to a child named "Polly" I have as

Titter, writing of Virginia Gray Moncla and Florence Augusta Blakewood Gray, . . . . . . They were saints by virtue of their "for me to live is Christ" and also by virtue of thier incomparable, exemplary life-styles. They will always be our standards; as they were for their generation, so, too, for every succeeding generation. For we owe, whatever level of Christian living that we are capable of attaining, to them and to our ability to remember. Our memory of them propels us into being a kinder, a gentler, and a more Christ-like people. I hereby cannonize them!

Julie's poem will help to know Virginia better. A Poem by Julie Gray Campbell:

Today, its my wedding day
And I'm amazed at how
My uncles, cousins, aunts, and friends
Have all gathered around

I stand beneath the lush green tree
In which I used to play
As I committ my life to a man
God gave me for all my days

Everything seems perfect
The weather, the bridesmaids, the twins,
The heavenly music soars through the trees
As the ceremony begins.

But I feel someone is missing
From our ceremony
Someone who spent many nights
Praying for me on her knees

It's Gamie that I'm longing for
With her love and smiling face
Of everyone in the world I know
No one could take her place.

I start to feel an emptiness
Because I want her to share
This special day when Jacques and I
Vow to always care.

Then Uncle Fred in his wisdom
Reveals the truth to me
Gamie never left Moncla
It's here she'll always be.

But even more than in one place
She's really everywhere
Her spirit is all around her family
And you ask, "Why there?"

So she can be with all of us now
In our joys and sorrows
Giving strength and comfort
For today and all tomorrows.

So I reflect then understand
Just what God's done for me
I can now with full assurance pray
Thank you, God, for my Gamie!

It's been four year since she's been gone
But I can finally say,
A great thing happened
When God took Virginia Gray.

From Titter's notes:
Grandpa was a Cambellite Christian. He first united with the Nazarene Church, then joined th Baptist Church and became a Deacon. He also attended the Episcopal Mission in Marksville.
He was a Bible scholar and was a good singer. Virginia said that one of his favorite solos was "And I Shall See Him Face to Face"

Below is from notes from a 1951 interview of Carmen Moncla Hiott with "Granny", "Mother Gray", "Aunt Bye", Florence Augusta Blakewood Gray.

Attended community private school at Bayou des Glaises.
United with Bayou des Glaises Baptist Church at age 14.
At age 15 she left home for Keatchie Female College, 25 miles south of Shreveport. It was Keatchie Baptist College when she graduated, June 16, 1882. Her degree was in English. There were 10 month terms. She left home in the fall and did not return (even for Christmas) until June. It was a week long trip by buggy from Bayou des Glaises to Keatchie. "Father, being a doctor and a preacher, had so many friends along the way, ......we broke up the trip spending nights with various families. "
She returned to Keatchie as Professor of English in 1884-85.
In 1887, she married J.A. Gray, son of Senator Abram Marshall Gray. To them were born nine children, 3 girls and six boys.
In 1905, the family moved to Marksville, Louisiana, and the next year Florence Augusta affiliated with its local Baptist church.
In 1926, the Rev. Brother McGhee established a Sunday School. "Mother Gray" was a SS teacher for about thirty years, from that time until shortly before her death. She assigned homework and expected recitations and presentations from her students.

Daddy, Alfred Moncla, said of Granny Gray shortly after her death, as we passed her house and didn't turn in . . . and I began to cry, "Titter, I would have married your mother if nor no other reason than because she was Granny's daughter. I have never known a better person than Granny Gray."

Kleinwood had postoffice from 1896-1919.

When Dr. Blakewood died. Granny Gray was 37 weeks pregnant with Uncle Marty (her third child); Aunt Helen (her second child) was 16 months old and had severe cleft lip and palate; Mary Ritter (her first child) had just died 10 months earlier.

FLORIDA STAR, Titusville, Fla., 31 July 1890, Obituary
Our community has met with a severe loss by the death of the Rev. Dr. Bettison W. Blakewood, who died last Saturday, the 27th instant, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. David Butler, near Osteen, Florida.
Early in this year, Dr. Blakewood moved to this State from Louisiana where he owned large estates in the rich land. These were subject to occasional innundations, and on account of these, he concluded to settle in Florida. He bought land near Osteen and had made extensive preparations to erect a commopdious dwelling, ordering all the machinery for a sawmill to saw his own lumber, and this machinery has just arrived. He also purchased a tract of land on Haulover for a winter residence, thus providing for the permanent settlement of himself and children. He designed to have all his children settled around him as comfortably as money could accomplish this, and thus also aid this part of Florida in building up socially. Our vicinity has lost a good and useful citizen.
The Baptist denomination has sustained a great loss, for he was not only a skillful physician, but also a minister of the gospel. His last sermon was preached for the Titusville Baptist Church just two weeks before his death.
We sympathize with his afflicted widow and his orphaned children and his many relatives. Dr. Screven, of our town, is a nephew of Dr. Blakewood.
The deceased was a native of Beaufort District, South Carolina, and represented a long line of some of the most honored and ancient families of the State, with many of whom the writer was well acquainted. Dr Blakewood was in the neighborhood of 70 years, but for one of his age was possessed of remarkable physical and mental power. He died of a disease which several times before had threatened his life. He died "with the harness on", in the full triumph of the Chrisitian faith. He labored faithfully for God and his fellow men and now, as was engraved on his coffin, he is "At Rest". The funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Baptist Church, at Osteen, and his body reposes in the beautiful cemetery near that place.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, yea, saith the Spirit for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
A. D. Cohen

Eleanor Blakewood Marshall says: Dr. B.W. Blakewood graduated from the Medical College of South Carolina, practiced in SC, then went to Harvard Law school for one year. He then passed the Bar in Somerset County, Maine. He practiced law and medicine in Maine and Quebec.

Dr. B.W. Blakewood graduated from the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, on March 16, 1841, at age 22. His thesis was "Bilious Remittent Fever". Bilious Remittent Fever is one of the severe, dangerous types of Falciparum malaria. Confirmed by Waring Historical Library, Medical University of South Carolina.

He married Mary Ann Talbird, ? year. Mary Eleanor was born 1845. Mary Ann died 1846.

Dr. B.W. Blakewood attended Harvard Law School, 1853-54, at age 34-35. Confirmed by Pusey Library, Harvard University Archives.

He married Henrietta Eldred in 1855. She was 19 years old; he was 36. Mary Eleanor Blakewood was 10 years old.

Ya know, I checked out the Anne part of his web site but never got to
digging around in the genealogy area. Here is part of the message
I received yesterday from Sam Casey.
************************************************************
I found my information on Robert Marbury, WILLIAMSON and ANGEVINE in
TAG (The American Genealogist) Vol. 64, No. 4, Oct. 1992 appropriately
entitled "The Well Beloved Mother-in-law of Robert Marbury" by F.N.
Craig. It gives the genealogy of all these lines, which were new to
me also only a few months ago when I found the article.

>From pp. 203-207 of this article it says:....."
On 26 Jan 1518, "...and the aforesaid jurors further say that the
aforesaid John Williamson died on the 24th day of March in the fourth
year of the present lord King (1512/13) and that Katherine Williamsom
is the daughter and next heir of the same John Williamson and is of
the age (at that time, i.e., 1517/18) of this inquisition of nine
years and above, and is now committed by the lord King to the wardship
to Thomas Hennage, esquire...." The inquisition into the estate of
Katherine Marbury, taken at Horncastle on 12 Jun 1526; the jurors said
that Katherine had died on 11 August 1525 alone seised of and
in...."the messuage, five acres of pasture and forty ares of arable
land...called Northorpe in Hemingby...and of and in two tofts (also in
Hemingby)...and...one messuage and five acres of pasture...in the town
and fields of Boston next to the stream called Old Fen Dike...and one
messuage, 23 acres and 3 roods of land lying in Gattoft in Leake in a
certain place called "the Hungate" next to the church of Leake..and in
ten acres of land...in Wrangel..." As extended, these lands were
worth together £2, 14s, 10d. yearly. "...and the aforesaid Katherine;
being so seised...took as her husband Robert Marbury esquire, whereby
the aforesaid Robert and Katherine were seised thereof in the right of
the same Katherine; and the said Robert and Katherine had issue,
lawfully procreated between them, a certain William Marbury and...the
aforesaid Katherine died seised...and the aforesaid Robert Marbury
survived her, and is still living, and remains entered as tenant, by
the law of England by reason of the aforesaid offsrping..and that the
aforesaid William Marbury is the son and next heir of the same
Katherine Marbury, and is of the age at the time...of this inquisition
of three quarters of a year and above." This record confirms that
Katherine Marbury and Katherine Williamsom of the first record are the
same person, for her lands in Hemingby, Boston and Leake correspond to
the tenements held by Alexander Williamson or his son John. It is
possible that Katherine (Williamson) Marbury died in childbirth. She
was born about 1508, the daughter of John Williamson who died on 24
Mar 1512/3, the son of Alexander Williamson. Her mother was Jane,
daughter of Michael Angevine who died on 20 Mar 1521/2. Katherine died
on 11 August 1525 at the age of about seventeen years, leaving her
husband Robert Marbury and a son William, three-quarters of a year old
in 1526."

That's just the tip of the iceberg, of course, but it gives you the
jist of the whole.

Pretty slick info he found there. I don't have access to the article
but I have someone trying to track it down for me.

Since his uncle was named Ira Harmon, it's possible that the "H" as middle name stands for Harmon. -CEB

"History of Broome County"
Town of Colesville
p. 337:
The following history of the Presbyterian Church at Ninevah is from Rev. J.S. Pattengill's history of the Presbytery of Binghamton:--
"The south branch of the Bainbridge church, formed by Rev. David Buck, in 1802, of seven members, was supplied by him and Mr. Chapin until 1806, when, like the northern branch, it remains without a minister or a record until 1817. By the effort of Mr. Chapin the church was encouraged to begin a new life and join with the north branch in the employ of Mr. Burbank. In 1819 a house of worship was erected as a union house. By the failure of the Congregational society to keep up its organization, the Universalists organized and claimed their inheritance.
"Rev. Isaac W. Ruggles was settled in 1820, and his pastorate continued about four years. After Mr. Ruggles's removal, the church is without a minister or record for the next six or eight years. When next heard from ten of its members are organized at Ninevah into a Presbyterian church by the name of Bainbridge and Ninevah Presbyterian Church, and the same day twenty-three were added by profession of faith. This organization was effected by a committee of Chenango Presbytery, with Ethan Pratt as chairman. For about two years previous to this organization at Ninevah, Rev. IRA SMITH had labored in the vicinity and, finding Nineveh about the centre of his undefined parish proposed to the people to build a meeting-house at Nineveh. His wishes meeting with a favorable response, it was agreed as a signal for the effort to begin, Mr. Smith was to blow the horn to call the people together. Accordingly on a Monday morning Mr. Smith blew the horn long and loud. The people heard and heeded, and the standing timber of Monday was erected into a meeting house during the week; and on the ensuing Sabbath the Gospel trump was blown by Mr. Smith in their new sanctuary. When a people have a mind to work and make common cause, church erection is successful without foreign aid. When the society built their new and present house of worship their extemporaneous sanctuary was remodeled into the parsonage now in use. Mr. Smith's pioneer missionary work continued about two years."

Hi Carrie:
Yesterday I sent along the copies of the latest information I found for you. Also I called the Sidney Town Clerk and asked about a birth record for Edith Smith for August 10,1886. Her name was not listed but it was Smith, female. According to what the town clerk wrote the entry listed her mother as Julia Peet and her father as Ira H Smith. There wasn't a marriage record there for Edith and Charles Eldred. And she checked about 11 years.
For now
Kim

Hi Carrie....
I got some good news......
I found Ira's father and where they lived over the course of a few years....
but what's more amazing is the PEET line through Amelia (not Julia). I did not have time to trace the PEET line in the census....yet. But I am sure where I found where they were in 1850 before Amelia was born. Funny she had a sister named Julia too.
Well the truth is this PEET line goes back about 9 generations to about 1597. Of course I do not attest to the accuracy but I can not dispute it and in my opinion until someone can show me reason not to accept someone's conclusions, I will accept it.
( Sorry, got on my soapbox there.....) A lot of time that many generations can contain several errors. But your Ira Smith is listed married to Amelia Peet. I am a little perturb with your SMITH ancestors too!!! Not only is SMITH a ridiculously difficult name to trace BUT they had to move around many times between 3 counties no less!!
well..... I think that was all the new news for today
For now
Kim
PS I cannot believe how lucky we have been researching your family lines!

From Oneonta "Star", 3/67
GOLD IN THE HILLS by Ed Moore

All that glitters is not gold and Nathan Smith was not at all certain what he had unearthed as he was cultivating corn on John Rockwell's farm near Garrattsville one sunny afternoon in 1903. When he had brushed the dirt from the shiny yellow object, he found that he was holding an English guinea coined in 1769 during the reign of George II. Another cut of the hoe and a silver half crown bearing the likeness of James II and the date 1685, came to light.

Smith was not aware of it at the time but he had solved a mystery of 125 years standing and had cleared the name of a daughter of John Johnson, one of the early settlers of the region.

John Johnson migrated from Derbyshire, England, about 1774 and settled in Burlington township, Otsego county. He had two daughters, one of them married to Robert Garrett, after whom the hamlet of Garrattsville was named. The unmarried daughter lived with her parents. Johnson was not a wealthy man but he was considered to be comfortably well off.

The Indians began to raid the white settlements in Otsego county in 1777 and then came the bloody massacre in Cherry Valley during the next year. The Johnson and Garrett families, who lived on adjoining farms, prepared to flee the area. John buried his hoard of gold and silver coins in a field but before he, Garrett, and their kinfolk could reach safety they were all captured by the Indians and taken to Canada where they were kept captive for five years.

When the two families returned to their former homesteads in 1783, Johnson began to seek his buried treasure, whose exact location he could not recall. An extensive search proved fruitless. The unmarried daughter was the only person with Johnson when he buried the coins and he accused her of taking the money.

The girl denied the charges but her father could not be persuaded that she was innocent and refused even to talk with her thereafter. She lived in the family home for a few years and then married and moved away. Johnson died not long after that, still believing that his daughter was a thief. As the years rolled by, no trace was found of the missing treasure and a division of opinion as to the girl's guilt developed among the descendants.

A century and a quarter later the mystery was solved when Nathan Smith found the cache of coins. The daughter had been proven innocent. Smith reported the find to his employer an they started to dig for the remainder of the treasure, agreeing that the proceeds of their search would be divided equally between them.

The men marked off a 12 foot square plot of ground and dug it to a depth of six inches, uncovering 33 gold and 37 silver coins, a few coppers and a silver and agate sleeve button. The gold coins ranged in date from 1730 to 1769, most of them having been minted during the reigns of George II and George III. The silver pieces, with the exception of one Spanish piece of eight, were dated from 1683 to 1698 and were issued during the reigns of James II and William III. The copper coins were English half pennies dated 1718 and 1724.

Where are these coins now? Williard V. Huntington purchased a number of them and they may very well now be in the Americana section of the Huntington Library at San Marino, California. Some others were given or sold to Johnson descendants. A rose guinea dated 1764 and bearing the likeness of George II and the Spanish piece of eight are in the possession of Mrs. Nathan Pendleton of Oneonta.

"History of Otsego County", 1878, p. 220, New Lisbon section:
"An honored pioneer and prominent citizen was Elias Cummings, who located on lands north of New Lisbon Centre. Three sons reside in the county; Harris in Plainfield, and Leman and Moses D. in this town. The latter has retired from active business, and is a resident of Garrattsville."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Elias Cummings was reared a farmer boy by his mother and stepfather. They died on their farm, one-half mile from Garrattsville, when advanced in years. The parents of Moses D. Cummings were farmers in this town all their lives. They were married December 4, 1803, and had born to them ten children, two dying in infancy, five sons and three daughters growing to mature years. There are now [1893] only two of them living, viz: Lemon, the first-born, now living in the village of Garrattsville, in his eighty-ninth year; and Moses D., the subject of this sketch. Elias Cummings served as Justice of the Peace some years, and also held other offices. He left a good farm and other property. The religious views of his parents were of the broad Universalist faith, and their moral character was of the highest and purest type."

HISTORY OF OTSEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK

Otsego County was set off from Montgomery County and organized as a separate county on Feb 16,1791 with Cooperstown designated as county seat. Otsego County is bounded by Oneida, Herkimer and Montgomery counties to the north, Schoharie and Delaware County to the east, Delaware County to the south and Chenango and Madison counties to the west. A part of Schoharie County was taken off in 1795, and a portion of Delaware County was set off in 1797. As it was first organized the county consisted of only two civil subdivisions: Otsego and Cherry Valley, both of which had been organized as parts of Montgomery County. Otsego was formed on March 7, 1788 and Cherry Valley on February 16, 1791.

Cooperstown was named after its founder Judge William Cooper, father of famed author James Fenimore Cooper. The first county officials were appointed on February 17, 1791 included: Judge- William Cooper; Surrogate- James Cannon; Clerk- Jacob Morris and Sheriff- Richard R Smith. Other early officials included District Attorney- Ambrose L Jordon, appointed in 1818, and Treasurer- Elihu Phinney. The first newspaper in Otsego County was the Otsego Herald or Western Advertiser, established April 3, 1795. It was the second paper west of Albany.

Hi Carrie,

Sorry that it's taken me so long to respond and I regret that this is
not much of a response either... but, I promise to once again return to my
own genealogy quest this week some time... and when I do... I shall check
for Lucinda.

I don't remember when exactly I e-mailed my initial question to you...
but a lot has happened (and been discovered), since that initial note and
I've 'fleshed' my own family tree out extensively. Hopefully, I'll be able
to let you know something by the end of the week... as the work demands on
my time have relented somewhat, in the last couple of days. (Whew!)

Do you have "Family Tree Maker" software? (Just wondering if you've
searched their databases.)

Until later...

RUSSELL, JOHN of Yorkshire, England, to America with Mr. Tunnicliff as an employee in 1758. [This is not my typo; the book says 1758 but note that he'd only be about one year old then, an impossibility. Maybe 1785? --CEB] John was a carpenter and shipbuilder, and received one acre of land for each day's work from Mr. Tunnicliff, working for three years. His land was on the Otego Creek in the western part of the Town of Otsego, 900 acres on which he resided until his death in 1832. He made his will 12 Sept. 1830; he d. 25 March 1832, aged 75. In his will he identifies himself as a res. of Otsego and names his wife Mary (nee Johnson, originally of Lincolnshire, England) and children (below). Mrs Mary Russell d. 13 June 1850, aged 90.

WILL BOOK 1, OTSEGO CTY NY p. 161

In the name of Almighty God, Amen. I, John Russell, of the town and County of Otsego, and State of New York, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of Sound mind and memory (for which Almighty God be blessed, and praised, for his mercies) do make and publish this my last will and testament-- and write the same with my own hand.
