Notes for GREGORY BELCHER:
FROM: Dorchester Reporter, 2002
It Happened in Dorchester
Roads, "Rough Trade," and Revelry
Bits and Pieces of Dorchester's Past
January 31, 2002
By Peter F. Stevens
A roadways project that comes in on time and on budget? In the land of the Big Dig? That's exactly what happened when Nicholas Clap, of Dorchester, with Moses Paine and Gregory Belcher, both of Braintree, designed and built a road from latter-day Quincy to Dorchester and Roxbury in 1655.
After taking measurements and scouting their route, the trio went to work. They recorded their project in Dorchester's Town Records:
"First, that the way shall be four Rodd Wide from Brantre [sic] bounds to roxbury bounds: secondly beginning near Henry Crane's house, the Way to Lye on the Sowtheast [sic] side of it in the old Beaten roede waye [sic]: and so to a Low White oake [sic] marked on the same side of the waye and so by the marked trees to the brooke [sic]: so from the Brooke the way being Lade [sic] in the Winter we agreed to take about a rod wide into Anthony Golliford's lot where the fence interrupts the waye: and so to a marked post towards John Gill's howse [sic]: from thence to a stake in Elder Kingsley's yard and from thence to the mill in the old beaten roade waye..."
The route ended in Roxbury, and while today's contractors and crews might chuckle at the quaint 17th-century "road gang's" reliance upon marked trees and posts, taxpayers now footing the cost overruns might long for the bottom-line efficiency of 1655 Dorchester road-builder Nicholas Clap and his associates: they finished their project on time and met their budget. Who says that change is always for the better?
Of that Colonial thoroughfare, in the late 19th Century William Dana Orcutt notes: "As nearly as can be estimated, this must have been the road which now runs over Milton Hill, from Quincy, to the Lower Mills, and then over Washington Street, in Dorchester, to Roxbury." No mean engineering feat in 1655.
Worried about the sort of miscreants who might wander into Dorchester via that engineering feat, Dorchester's Town Meeting enacted a number of laws designed to keep "rough trade" moving along that road and quickly out of town, and, as Dorchester's Colonial records show, the laws were applied.
Orcutt writes: "Many of the old laws...seem utterly absurd and unreasonable to us of this later date. For instance, an attempt to enforce such a law as that passed in 1659, concerning 'strangers,' would be apt to call forth at least the accusation of inhospitality. This law began by defining what strangers should reside within the jurisdiction [Dorchester], and how they should be licensed, and then went on to state that if any of the townspeople should entertain any sojourner or inmate in his house more than one week without first obtaining a license from the selectmen, he would be liable to a fine." If visitors had not worn out their welcome, a scramble by their hosts to the Town Meeting selectmen was a necessity.
A pair of "strangers," John Brown and John Hoppin, received the proverbial heave-ho in 1677 for "having no settled place of abode." In the following year, visitor Robert Stiles learned that newcomers who did not yet own their own home or property and "tarried too long" in Dorchester were, in the opinion of the Town Meeting, suspect. He was ordered to report to local leaders to explain his lengthy stay and to provide them an account of the "manner in which he spent his time."
In 1677, Robert Spur broke the town's "guest laws" and was called in front of the meetinghouse congregation. His offence? "Giving entertainment in his house to loose and vain persons." A fine, as well, perhaps, of a lecture on the perils of vanity, made him think twice about throwing future get-togethers in his home.
At about the same time when Spur was charged with having too much fun, Samuel Rigby, neither a vagrant nor a visitor just passing through Dorchester, upset his neighbors by "cutting up" around town. Rigby's actions &emdash; "the sin of cursing, excessive drinking, and the neglect of attendance upon the public ordinances" &emdash; led to an uncomfortable session in which he "had to answer" in church to his pastor and neighbors. Apparently, he reformed his ways or else imbibed and cursed afterwards in private.
As in the case of Samuel Rigby, 17th-century Dorchester resident John Merrifield also had a taste for spirits. To make matters worse in his neighbors' collective eyes, Merrifield, while under the influence, ranted and railed against the "spirit" that most townspeople embraced: when he was hauled in front of the gathered community at the meetinghouse, he was charged with "drunkenness, and also for contempt and slighting the power of Christ in his Church." Merrifield, like his fellow miscreants, left the meetinghouse with his a stern reprimand, a warning against future misdeeds, and a lighter purse.
In 17th-century Dorchester, the wages of many sins literally had a pricetag, as many who rode or walked into town on Nicholas Clap's road soon learned. Had there been a road sign leading into the settlement, it could have read, "Welcome to Dorchester &emdash; But Behave or Be Gone."

Gregory Belcher (1606-1674) Gregory Belcher was a
carpenter. He was born in County Warwick in 1606 and received a land
grant in Braintree in 1639. His inventory listed a few tools,
furniture—"3 chests, 2 boxes, 2 hanging cupboards, 3 tables 6
stools six chairs 6 cushions"—and a "servant" Henry,
who was probably an apprentice. Belcher’s earlier servant was
"Andrew Rounsimon, . . . a Scotish man dyed 8th 31 1657."
Belcher’s widow Katherine died in 1680. Presumably, much of the
furniture listed in her inventory was her husband’s: "the
cupboard with the lock and some small things 5s," "6 cushions
10s another cupboard 4s," "a great press 20s, 2 chests 2 boxes
20s," and "a press and chairs 45s 6 tables 2 stooles."

FROM: Thayer and Burton Ancestry , 1894
GREGORY BELCHER came from England to this country in
1634, and first settled at Boston, Mass. He soon after removed to
Braintree, where, about 1640, he assisted in founding the first church.
He afterwards owned the land where the first iron foundry was located in
America in 1640. His wife, who probably came from England with him, was
Catherine ((???)). He died at Braintree, November 25, 1674. She died in
1680, or soon after.
FROM: Descendants of George Abbott, of Rowley,
Massachusetts Vol 2
Gregory was an early settler and an original member of
the First Church of Quincy. The relationship existing between the members
of the foregoing families is unknown to the Compiler. Gregory Belcher
was the ancestor of the Farmington family, and must have been a man of
some prominence in Boston, as he was one of the founders of the Old
South Church.
FROM: Rich Houghton
Gregory Belcher, the immigrant ancestor, was born in
England in 1606. He is most likely the Gregory Belcher baptized on 30
March of that year in Aston Parish, Warwickshire, the son of Thomas-A
Belcher of the hamlet of Wardend, Aston. This Thomas-A appears to have
been the son of Gregory-B Belcher, yeoman, of Berkswell, Warwickshire;
Berkswell is about nine miles southeast of Aston. Gregory-B and his wife
Joane had at least one child:
i Thomas b. m. ------ ------
Gregory's will was dated 20 March 1620. Thomas-A lived
in Aston, where the births of three children were recorded:
i John bpt. 24 August 1604 m. ------ ------
ii Gregory bpt. 30 March 1606 m. Catherine ------
iii Margery bpt. 9 July 1615 m. ------ ------
Although both Thomas and Margery married in Aston,
there is no further record in the parish of Gregory, supporting the
conclusion that he and the immigrant were the same.
He married CATHERINE ------ , probably in England; it
is unknown who her parents were. They had the following children (not
necessarily in order):
i Elizabeth b.c. 1629 m. Thomas Gilbert
ii Josiah b.c. 1631 m. Ranis Rainsford
iii John b.c. 1633 m. Sarah ------
iv Moses b.c. 1635 m. Mary Nash
v Samuel b. 24 August 1637 m. Mary Billings
vi Mary b. 8 July 1639 m. Alexander Marsh
vii Joseph b. 25 December 1641 m. Rebecca Gill
Although Savage states that they came to Boston in
1634, it is more probable that they came to New England in 1637. He
settled in Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where
his name first appears in the records on 19 February 1637/8. He was made
a freeman there on 13 May 1640, and a Selectman in 1646 – an office in
which he served until June 1665.
He was one of the founders of the town's church. On 16
September 1639, he and seven others drafted and signed the covenant of
the First Church of Braintree:
" We poor unworthy creatures, who have sometime
lived without Christ and without God in the world, and so have deserved
rather fellowship with the devil and his angels, than with God and his
saints, being called of God out of this world to the fellowship of
Christ by the Ministry of the Gospel, and our hearts made willing to
join together in Church Fellowship, so by the help and strength of
Christ, renounce the devil, the wicked world, a sinful flesh with all
the remnants of Anti-Christian pollution, wherein sometimes we have
walked, and all our former evil ways, and do give up ourselves, first to
God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and offer up our proferred
subjection to our Lord Jesus Christ as the only Preist, Prophet and King
of his Church, beseeching him in his rich grace and free mercy to accept
us for his people in the blood of his Covenant, and we give up ourselves
also one to another by the will of God, promising in the name and power
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who worketh in us both to will and to do
according to his good pleasure, to worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth
and to walk in brotherly love and the duties thereof according to the
will of the Gospel, to the edification of the body and of each member
therein, and to be guided in all things according to God's revealed
will, seeking to advance the Glory of Jesus Christ, our head, both in
Church and Brotherly Communion, thro' the assistance of his Holy Spirit
which he hath promised to his Church, and we do manifest our joint
consent herein this day in presence of this assembly, by this our
present public profesion and by giveing to one another the right hand of
fellowship."
On 30 December 1639, he was granted a fifty-two acre
lot in the Mount Wollaston area of Braintree for which he paid three
shillings per acre. On 6 January 1657/8, he obtained a lease of the
Salter farm in Braintree from the estate of William Tyng. On 14 July
1664, he bought nine acres of land in nearby Milton from John Smith,
which he later gave to his son Joseph for a marriage portion. On 15
January 1666/7, Gregory and some others bought the Salter Farm for £1,900;
he had a one-eighth interest. Finally, he bought forty more acres of
land on the Braintree plain from Henry Crane on 18 May 1671.
On 26 March 1670, he and his son-in-law Alexander
Marsh bought the town iron works and 200 acres of land. The iron works
-- the first established in the United States -- had gone bankrupt in
1653, and its assets were tied up in litigation until acquired by Thomas
Wiggin, who in turn conveyed it to Gregory and Alexander.
Gregory died in Braintree on 25 November 1674. His
widow presented an inventory of his estate on 29 January 1674/5, signed
a bond to administer her late husband's estate on 30 January 1674/5, and
another along with her son Josiah on 6 March 1678/9. The inventory
listed the following items:
"A Inventory of the Goods & Chattels of

The total value of the estate was £629.05.00.
Catherine died in Braintree in the Spring of 1680. Her
will, dated 3 September 1679 and proved 20 July 1680, provided a cow for
her son Josiah "if he molest not my son Moses in his present
dwelling and possessions;" to son John a cow and a horse; to
daughters Elizabeth Gilbert and Mary Marsh some household effects; and
to her son Moses "who hath carried himsef so dutifully to myself
and his father the Great Bible and the whole house and land he now
possesses which I declare his father gave him." On 9 July 1680,
Josiah entered a caveat against the probate of his mother's estate
"until he be present." It does not appear, though, that any
contest was made to the will.

JOHN WINTHROP, THE WINTHROP SOCIETY :
The following document was found among the papers of
governor JOHN WINTHROP:
notes by the elder WINTHROP, dated 1629. written by
son JOHN WINTHROP.
Excerpt of this document ...Reasons for coming to
America, notice the mention of the Braintree, Belcher Family:
....."all other churches of europe are brought to
desolation, and our sins, for which the lord begins already to frown
upon us and to cut us short, do threaten evil times to be coming upon
us, and who knows, but that god hath provided this place to be a refuge
for many whom he means to save out of the general calamity, and seeing
the church hath no place left to fly into but the wilderness, what
better work can there be, than to go and provide tabernacles and food
for her when she be restored"john winthrop."unquote.
.....it began to burn within the hearts of men, as
they looked across the seemingly boundless ocean, the call of the new
world drove them. it compelled them to seek out a fruitful and untamed
land. just as moses had led the israelites into canaan land.
John winthrop wrote in 1629
"for god hath given to the sons of men a double
right to the earth --- there is a natural right and a civil right. the
first right was natural when men held the earth in common, every man
sowing and feeding where he pleased. then as men and their cattle
increased, they appropriated certain parcels of ground by enclosing and
peculiar cultivation, and this in time got them a civil right."
he felt it was man's duty to bring christianity and
european civilization to this new world called america.
.....John Winthrop insisted that God expected man to
spread over the earth and subdue it. "the whole earth is the lord's
garden, and he hath given it to mankind with a general commission (gen.
1:28) to increase and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it,
which was again renewed to noah. the end is double and natural, that
mankind might enjoy the fruits of the earth, and god might have his due
glory from his creatures." why then should one strive here for
places of habitation, at such a cost as would obtain better land in
another country, and at the same time suffer a whole continent as
fruitful and convenient for the use of man to lie waste without any
improvement?
.....but it wasn't just for land that they came, it
was for a new rebirth in christ's church that they longed for. "if
any such as are known to be godly and live in all wealth and prosperity
here, and shall forsake all this to join themselves with this church and
to run a hazard with them of a hard and mean condition, it will be an
example of great use both for removing the scandal of worldly and
sinister respects which is cast upon the adventurer, to give more life
to the faith of god's people in their prayers for the plantation, and to
encourage others to join the more willingly in it."
.....the whole town was the church and to say anyone
was not connected to the early churches would be useless. Belchers were
connected to the early churches as deacons, pastors , or listed as a
freeman: an upstanding man of the community...male church-member, and
must have experienced a transforming spiritual experience by god's
grace, as attested by himself and confirmed by church leaders.
therefore, a small percentage of the population: became a freeman.

Gregory Belcher, immigrant ancestor, was born about
1606, according to his own deposition. He was in New England as early as
1637, when he was a famer in Braintree, Massachusetts, and a proprietor
of the town. On December 30, 1639, he was granted a lot of fifty-two
acres on Mount Wollaston (Braintree) where he settled. He was admitted a
freeman, May 13, 1640, and served as selectman in 1646. In 1664 he
purchased land in Milton which he gave to his son John at his marriage.
In 1657-58 he leased the Salter farm in Braintree from the estate of
William Tyng, of Boston, and with others in 1666-67 he bought the place,
his interest being one-eighth. With his son-in-law, Alexander Marsh, he
bought the iron works with two hundred acres of land in Braintree. He
died November 25, 1674. He married Katherine ___, who survived him and

gedcom file @ KindredKonnection.com list Katherine's surname as
"BUCKLEY", however marriage records of The Church of England
for Mancetter, Warwickshire, England confirm her name as being ALCOCKE.
There is an established relationship between Katherine's family,
the Awcottes, and the BICKLEY family of Warwickshire, via the
marriage of Katherine's brother, William, to Margaret Bickley, and it
may be that someone at sometime having knowledge of the
relationship between the Awcottes and Bickleys mistakenly recorded
Katherine as a "Buckley", in regards to a belief she was a
Bickley. Notice also, the date and location of their marriage is
mistaken, 1627, and " Manchester" instead of
Mancetter.

Notes for SAMUEL BELCHER:
Was the original builder of the house in which
John Quincy Adams would be born and which is preserved today as
his birthplace by the National Park Service. His son Gregory
(1664-1727) lived in the present John Quincy Adams birthplace and
rebuilt it in 1716 into its present form.
FROM: National Park Information
John Quincy Adams Birthplace
The house now known as the John Quincy Adams
Birthplace was built by Samuel Belcher in 1663 and inhabited by
his descendants until Deacon John Adams bought it in 1744. John
Adams inherited this home when his father died in 1761. Here he
brought his bride Abigail Smith on October 25, 1764. It was in
this house that Abigail gave birth on July 11, 1767, to their
second child, John Quincy Adams, the future 6th President of the
United States. During the American Revolutionary War, while John
was distinguishing himself in Philadelphia as the delegate at the
second Continental Congress with "the clearest head and the
firmest heart," Abigail supervised the education of her
children took care of the farm and served as an inspiration to her
husband during this critical period of United States History.
Abigail penned many of her famous letters to her husband from this
Penn’s Hill farm. In 1779, John Adams drafted the Constitution
of Massachusetts in his law office in the northeast corner room of
this home. After drafting the Massachusetts Constitution, John
Adams traveled to Europe and ultimately negotiated and signed the
Treaty of Paris, which concluded the American Revolutionary War.
With peace secured, John requested his wife and daughter Nabby
join him in Europe. After serving as the first U.S. Minister
Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, John Adams with his wife Abigail
came home in 1788 to their new residence, "Peacefield,"
also a part of the Adams National Historical Park. While John and
Abigail would never again live in their Penn’s Hill cottage,
John Quincy Adams resided in his own birthplace during the summers
of 1806 through 1808 with his wife, Louisa Catherine.

Several of Samuels grandchildren I have found were wed by the Rev.
John Hancock the father of John Hancock who signed the Declaration

Samuel Belcher (1637–1679) Samuel was a
younger son of Gregory Belcher. Although his inventory does not
list any tools, both Samuel and his son, Deacon Gregory Belcher,
were carpenters. Perhaps Samuel’s tools went to Gregory, who had
yet to finish his training at the time of his father’s death.
(Sources: Sprague, Genealogies of the Families of Braintree.)
Deacon Gregory Belcher (1664–1727) The son of
Samuel Belcher, Gregory was referred to as a wheelwright,
carpenter, shipwright, and ship carpenter in Braintree records. He
died on July 4, 1727, "in the 63 year of his age being killed
with a plough." His estate included barrels, tubs, wooden
ware, five "low chairs," six "black chairs," a
"great chair," three chests, a "case of
drawers," a "square table," "sundry
tools," and a "glew pot and kettle." The

Notes for JOSIAH BELCHER:
Joseph Belcher is buried in the Granary Burying
Ground in downtown Boston near the Cheers bar. His gravestone
still remains" "was a wheelwright" as well as his
age at death. The Granary is a very famous cemetery including
members of the Hancock, Adams and many other well know families of
the area. The parents of Samuel Adams as well as the original
grave of "Mother Goose" are visited by literally
hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. I visited the Granary
Burying Grounds in 1993 and could actually see bullet holes of the
top of some stones from snipers on Bunker Hill.
Founded in 1660, the Granary is the third oldest
burying ground in Boston proper. In 1737, when grain was stored
where the present Park Street Church stands, the burying ground
was renamed the Granary. Along with Massachusetts Governors,
Clergymen, and Mayors, three signers of the Declaration of
Independence are buried here.
With its massive front gate, the Granary Burying
Ground serves as the final resting place for may notable
Revolutionary-era patriots, including three signers of the
Declaration of Independence: John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine and
Samuel Adams. Also buried here are Peter Faneuil, Paul Revere,
Benjamin Franklin's parents and the victims of the Boston
Massacre.It was originally called South Burying Ground because it
was located on the southerly most area of the Boston settlement.
As Boston grew toward the south, it was renamed Middle Burying
Ground. Its current name comes from the grain storage building, or
granary, which stood on the land where the Park Street Church now
stands.

In 1674-5 Alexander and his wife's father,
Gregory Belcher, purchased a defunct iron works in Braintree. This
iron works, or one close nearby was the first to operate in
America. No records indicate that they ever made the iron works
into a successful business. The property is listed in Alexander's

and ANN.
Notes for JOSEPH BELCHER:
FROM: Rich Houghton, Genforum
Joseph Belcher (Gregory-1) was born on 25 December
1641, most probably in Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. He was
the son of Gregory Belcher and his wife Catherine ------.
Around 1664, he married REBECCA-2 GILL (No.
84:3:1045). Rebecca was the daughter of John Gill and Anne [Billings?],
and was baptized in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony, on 7 July
1650.
On the occasion of his marriage his father gave him
nine acres of land in Milton, Norfolk County, where the newlyweds
settled. These were combined with large tracts that Rebecca, as her
father's heir, owned in Dorchester and Milton.
Joseph and Rebecca's life together was not without its
problems. The two grew estranged, and temporarily separated. This was a
situation that Puritan morality of the time could not tolerate and the
couple was summoned before the General Court. By the efforts of friends,
however, the two evidently reconciled and remained together.
Sometime around 1674, they moved to Braintree, Norfolk
County; Rebecca was dismissed to the Braintree Church on 6 September
1674.
Soon after moving to Braintree, the war with the
Indians known as King Philip's War began. Joseph served as quartermaster
in the cavalry troop of Capt. Thomas Prentice in the first expedition
against them at Mount Hope. In a subsequent engagement against the
Indians during King Phillip's War on 28 June 1675, at Swansea, Bristol
County, he distinguished himself by great bravery; he was badly wounded
in the knee and had his horse shot out from underneath him.
Joseph died in Braintree in late December 1678 or
early January 1679. His brief will provided:
" The Will of Joseph Belchar. That Capt. Brackitt
& Mr Quinsey shall have the over Seeinge of his estate & his
wife to have the estate to bringe up his children & his children to
have the estate equally devided & to have there portion at ye day of

Capt. Prentice was appointed captain of the special
Troop, June 24, 1675, and sent out with Capt. Henchman, as has been
related. On arriving at Swansey, at Miles's garrison, the Indians began
firing from the bushes across the river at our guards, and twelve of the
troopers volunteered to go over the bridge and drive them off. These
were commanded by Quartermaster Joseph Belcher and Corporal John Gill.
Mr. Church went along with them, and also a stranger, and William
Hammond acted as pilot. As they advanced across the bridge the Indians
fired upon them and wounded Mr. Belcher in the knee, killed his horse,
and shot Gill in the breast, but his buff coat and several thicknesses
of paper saved him from injury. They killed the pilot outright, and the
troopers were forced to retreat, bringing off Hammond and his horse. On
the renewal of the attack by the Indians next morning, the troop,
supported by Mosely's volunteers, charged across the bridge and drove
the Indians from the "Neck" and across to Pocasset. June 30th
was spent by the army traversing Mount Hope neck, and at evening Capt.
Prentice with his troop rode to Rehoboth and quartered over night.

On his marriage he was given by his father 9 acres of
land in Milton, where he settled. His wife, Rebecca, was sole heiress to
large tracts of land in Dorchester and Milton, from the estate of her
father. However, incompatibility made their domestic life unhappy,
causing a temporary separation & a summons before the General Court.
However, a reconciliation was finally effected. On the outbreak of the
King Philip's War, Joseph served as a Quartermaster in the Cavalry Troop
of Capt. Prenyce in the First Expedition against King Philip at Mt.
Hope. In a skirmish with the Indians at Swansea, 28 Jun 1675, he
distinguished himself by great bravery, being badly wounded in the knee
and having his horse shot out from under him. The inventory of his
estate amounted to 472 pounds, 4 shillings, and 9 pence was presented, 7

Notes for REV. JOSEPH BELCHER:
FROM: Rich Houghton, Genforum
Joseph Belcher (Joseph-2 Gregory-1) was born on
14 May 1668, in Milton, Suffolk (now Norfolk) County,
Massachusetts. He was the son of Joseph Belcher and Rebecca Gill,
and was named after his father.
His grandfather John Gill, with whom he lived as
a child, provided in his will that young Joseph be kept in school
until he was fourteen and then apprenticed to a trade. When his
widowed maternal grandmother Gill died in 1683, she left Joseph --
at the age of around fifteen -- the heir to a large estate
including "the best part of Milton Hill."
With his new-found wealth, the necessity of
apprenticing himself to a trade to make a living disappeared.
Instead, he decided to go to Harvard College in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. He received his B.A., and apparently his M.A., from
Harvard in 1690.
In the Spring of 1692, he began his career as a
preacher at the First Church in Dedham; he occupied the pulpit for
the first time on 17 April 1692 and then again on 15 May. The town
of Dedham had -- for various reasons -- been without a permanent
minister for almost eight years, and Joseph appeared as one of a
series of temporary guest speakers paid fifteen shillings per day
of engagement. His preaching apparently pleased the congregation,
as it was remarked that "[the] church was destitute and in a
broken state for eight years, when, to [our] great joy, the
Repairer of breaches supplied the vacany with a pastor (we trust)
after his own heart, in the Rev. Mr. Joseph Belcher." As a
result, on 23 May it was recorded in the town records that
"ye Ch[urch] and Town have given a Call [to Joseph Belcher]
to come and live and laboure amongst us."
After much soul-searching, he accepted their
call. He took the pulpit for the first time after their invitation
on 12 June and on 30 October began to preach regularly. On 29
November 1693, he was officially ordained as the minister of the
Fisrt Church to replace Rev. Adams, a post in which he served
until 1721; his portrait still hangs in the church behind the
pulpit. On 23 December, the town voted him a salary of £60 per
year.
He married ABIGAIL-3 TOMPSON on 8 March 1693/4
in Braintree, Suffolk (now Norfolk) County, Massachusetts. She was
born in Boston on 25 November 1670, and was the daughter of
Benjamin Tompson and Susanna Kirkland. The had at least seven
children, possibly eight:
i Abigail b. 23 August 1695 m. Perez Bradford
ii Rebecca b. 14 March 1697 m. Thomas Walters
iii Joseph b. 16 October 1699 m. Elizabeth Butt
iv Mary b. 23 July 1701 d. 11 January 1702/3
v Samuel b. 23 March 1704 m. Mabel Stoughton
vi Mary b. 1706 m. Joseph Richards
vii Gill b. 11 October 1711 d. unm. 16 May 1752
viii Patience? b.p. 1711 m. ------ ------
Joseph was greatly admired as a preacher. He
took up his ministry at a time when the witchcraft hysteria was
sweeping through neighboring towns. It may have been that Joseph's
calming influence, rational approach, and generally noninflamatory
attitude forestalled its spread into Dedham which was spared the
accusations and trials. Five of his sermons survive: One delivered
in Boston in 1698 before the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company; another before the Great and General Assembly of the
Province of Massachusetts Bay; two sermons preached in Dedham for
"Young Persons" and the "Rising Generation;"
and an ordination sermon preached at Bristol at the settlement of
Nathaniel Cotton in 1721.
In 1696 the town, which had a history of late
payments to its ministers, decided to try a system of voluntary
contributions to support the ministry. Apparently it did not work
well because in 1704, the old system of a direct tax was
reinstated. His salary was later raised to £100 and the
congregation supplied him with firewood. Although his predecessors
had occupied the house of Rev. John Allin, Joseph built a
parsonage to which the town contributed sixty pounds.
Town records reflect that on 8 December 1718,
his servants Cesar and Flora were married in Dedham.
In the autumn of 1721, he suffered a paralytic
stroke -- a "dangerous paralysis" -- and had to cease
his ministry. He was sent to convalesce in Roxbury at the house of
his son-in-law Rev. Thomas Walter, where he was treated by his
brother-in-law Dr. Philip Tompson.
He died in Roxbury on 27 April 1723. Five of the
principal men of Dedham were appointed a committee to hire a coach
to return his body to Dedham for burial, and the town voted £2.04.00
towards entertaining the men attending the funeral and their
mounts, and -- eight years later -- voted forty pounds to his
widow to defray the expenses of his funeral. He was buried in
Dedham on 1 May. Cotton Mather wrote a eulogy, which he read at a
lecture in May in Boston, entitled "A Good Character, or a
Walk with God Illustrated, with Some Dues Paid to the Memory of
the Late Reverend and Excellent Pastor of Dedham." Mather
called him "the never-to-be-forgotten Joseph Belcher,"
and said:
" we have had an excellent preacher of a
walk with God, who was an excellent pattern of what he preached
unto us; God has newly taken to himself one who walked with him;
one who lived what he spoke; one who did what he taught, and was a
walker in the path of the righteous, as well as a preacher of
righteousness . . . .
Among the articles of his piety, very
conspicuous, was the well-governed speech, and the management of
the helm, with which he very much prevented what, in the
computation of the ancients, makes half the sins of our lives. He
spoke so little, and what he spoke had such a guard upon it, and
he had such an evident aversion for evil speaking, generally
choosing to speak nothing of them who could not have much good
spoken of them, that I may truly say, to speak with the tongue of
men and angels (men possessed by angels) were not a glory equal
with that of having a tongue under such an holy regulation. A
gentlemanly temper and carriage, with a sweetness of disposition
which was a varnish upon those virtues in him, added yet more
lustre unto them.
Considered as a preacher, he was greatly admired
and followed, -- and yet with what a modest and what a humble
self-diffidence did he decline all public appearances, but what he
was in some sort compelled to.
Considered as a pastor, how faithfully, how
painfully, how patiently did he feed the flock, whreof he was
overseer! One would think it impossible for any one mouth to open
against a shepherd of so much goodness!"
His will, dated 17 April 1723 and proved in
Boston on 7 June of that year, provided:

In his youth he inherited a considerable estate
for those times. This enabled him to obtain a liberal education at
Harvard College where he graduated in 1690. He then studied for
the ministry and began to prteach in dedham in the spring of 1692.
This resulted in a permanent call and he was ordained and settled
there on 29 Nov 1693. He remained pastor there for nearly 30 years
until the autumn of 1721 when he was incapacitated by a paralytic
shock and was removed to his son-in-law Rev. Thomas Walter' home
in Roxbury to be under care of his brother-in-law, Dr. Philip
Tompson. He died there at the age of 54, 27 Apr 1723. His portrait

Notes for ROWLAND STOREY:
FROM: http://www.sgrl.f2s.com/rowlandstory.html
Rowland Story (his name was variously spelled Roland,
Rolen, Rolin) was a shipwright of Boston in 1673 when he bought land. In
1696, he signed a petition and was a resident of Boston. He died there,
and the inventory of his estate, dated 9 July 1709, was produced by his
widow and administratrix, Ann Story, on 14 Sept 1709.
Rowland was married twice. His first wife was named
Bethia, and she was the mother of two children. He married secondly on 3
Sept 1683 (1682?) to Anne Belcher, who was born 13 Sept 1663 (1665?) who
is said to have been the daughter of Joseph Belcher & Rebecca Gill.
She was the mother of 15 children. All of Rowland's children were born
in Boston, Suffolk Co. MA.
Apparently, shortly after the death of Rowland Story
Sr., his family, or at least some of them, moved to South Carolina,
where they remained for many years.

South Carolina. One of the main streets in the historic district
bears his name today with some of the finest homes in Charleston
located there.
Legare Street Tour
Thursday, October 23rd, 7-10 PM
Legare Street was named for Solomon Legare, a
prosperous Huguenot silversmith, who owned the area of land at the
intersection of Legare and Tradd Streets. This tour features some
of Charleston’s most significant houses built in the early
nineteenth century. Magnificent Charleston single houses, servants
quarters, kitchen and carriage houses exhibit interiors reflecting
modern lifestyles, yet respecting the character and significance
of the city’s historic architecture.

daughter of THOMAS ELLIS and ELIZABETH AYERS. She was born 1710 in
"of James Island".
Notes for ZACHARIAH STOREY:
Zachariah was born in Boston, Massachusetts, he was a
minor child when his father Rowland Storey I died. In 1719, Zachariah
Storey's brother Rowland Storey II (Mariner of Berkeley Co., South
Carolina ) was given guardianship of Zachariah and his brother Benjamin
after the death of Rowland Storey I their father.

Zachariah Storey I likely died from the epidemic of
1732. He had two small children and wife Mary who remarried Thomas

South Carolina.
----------------------------
Map of early James Island, or what is known. I have
marked in red the approximate coarse of the Newtown or James Island
River as it is called today. At the time of Zachariah Storey's death in
1732 he owned 44 acres on the Newtown Creek. It is likely that he owned
property somewhere in or near the red circle on the above map.
It is known that the Storey family married into the
family of Joseph Ellicott who owned almost 300 acres on the North west
branch of the Newtown Creek (Now call the James Island Creek) on James
Island. Joseph's will, probated in 1715 lists the 300 acres on Newtown
Creek as well. Joseph also lists Zachariah's brother Rowland Story who
is a neighbor and is married to Joseph's sister Elizabeth Ellicott. This
300 acres of land would be VERY close to the Benjamin Stiles (witnessed
document) Plantation located today on Paul Revere Dr. Benjamin Stiles'
Plantation is also close to the North west branch of the Newtown Creek.
Joseph Ellicott goes on to mention that his 300 acres border the land of
Charles Armstrong and of Richard Morgan (deceased). Charles Armstrongs'
property is also known to border what is today the Wappoo Creek area.
Joseph states that his property is partly upon land formerly belonging
to Richard Harlston, (Richard Hudson) but now to Mr. Dutch to Westward
upon Stono River, to the east upon Newtown Creek, and southward to other
land allotted to his brother in law Rowland Story. Considering that
Rowland Story , Zachariah.'s brother owned land in the area it is again
likely that Zachariah's 44 acre Newtown Creek lot would be very close to
his brother Rowland and distant relative Joseph Ellicott.
The fact that Benjamin Stiles is familiar and is
witnessing documents with Zachariah gives further evidence that
Zachariah's lot was in the North East branch of the Newtown Creek area
(known today as the James Island Creek). Unfortunately there is no map
remaining for the area this early in its history to prove my theory.

Zachariah [Zachary] Story, son of Rowland Story
(c1650-1709) & Anne Belcher, was born 27 June 1706 Boston, Suffolk
Co MA. He married 10 Mar 1729 St Andrews Parish, Berkeley Co SC to Mary
Ellis "of James Island." After the death of Zachariah, she m2.
2 (or 8) Oct 1733 in St Andrews Parish to Thomas Sissons. Zachariah died
testate, and his will, written 14 Feb 1732, probated 30 Apr 1732, names
wife Mary, son Zachariah (gets land "on James Island, formerly my
grandfathers, 44 A. on Perotown Creek"), daughter Elizabeth gets
land in Granville County, 372 A. One of the witnesses to this will was
Zachariah's brother, Jeremiah Story.
------------------------------
FROM:
Zachariah and Mary were wed at the St. Andrews Parish
Church, Charleston, South Carolina. The oldest Church in the state built
in 1706.
The grounds and church structure of Old Saint Andrew's
Parish Church are a beautiful spiritual and aesthetic setting to get
closer to God. Nestled close to the Ashley River and containing ten
acres of land, Old Saint Andrew's property is comprised of a cemetery,
an education building, and the main building dating back to 1706, the
oldest surviving church in South Carolina.
History
Saint Andrew's Parish was one of ten created by the
Church Act passed by the Assembly on St. Andrew's Day (November 30th)
1706. Construction of the building began that year, and over the west
doors there is a plaque commemorating the date and first wardens. The
original portion of the building (now the nave or larger part) measured
40' by 25'. An early rector, the Reverend William Guy, wrote that it was
"built of brick, the roof of pine, with five small square windows
in it, and not near finished on the inside, with a burying place of
seven acres." In 1723, the building was enlarged by the addition of
two side transepts and the chancel, thus completing the cruciform or
cross-shaped appearance of the floor plan. The brick of the nave is
ballast brick, brought over on ships, with that of the addition
apparently made on the grounds. The new roof was made of cypress and
remains to the present.
The tablets behind the altar, ordered by the Canons of
1604, are called a Reredos, and display the fundamentals of Anglican
prayer, law, and belief: the Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, and
Apostles' Creed. These are the originals installed about 1723, and are
painted on hand-hewn black cypress. Around 1820, they were set in the
Honduran mahogany federal capital, and were re-lettered, which accounts
for their modern spelling. They were retouched once, in 1855. The
railing around the pulpit and the altar is antebellum cast iron.
Originally the pews were high backed which cut down on
drafts, and for a number of years they were sold as means of raising
revenue. Those in the Church now date from the extensive restoration
carried out in 1855 by Colonel the Honorable William Izard Bull of
Ashley Hall Plantation. The flooring is original-- the small tile pavers
probably date from the original 1706 structure, with the larger stone
pavers from the enlargement. The baptismal font is original -- its base
(of a later period) consists of three pelicans, an ancient Christian
symbol of the Atonement and fidelity, and an heraldic device of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, which first
sent clergy to the parish.
The surrounding area suffered greatly from Indian,
Spanish, French, and British wars, as well as number of hurricanes (the
most famous being Hugo in 1989). A historic preservation effort to
ensure the proper restoration and to guarantee the architectural
integrity of the building is underway as the 300th anniversary date
nears.
---------------------------------------
Zachariah Storey / Story Sr. owned property in both
Charleston as well as a 372 acre island in Granville, Co. South
Carolina. The island is near Fripp and Hunting Islands in the South
Carolina low country. The Story River can be found there today and is
named after the Zachariah Storey family line. I had a chance to visit
the area in July 2003 and could see Zachariah's island as well as the
Story River which ran on one side of the island. Today it is known as
the Old Island Heritage Preserve and sits just a few hundred yards from
the Fripp Island resort. The "Old House" creek and a small
marsh is all that separates Fripp and Zachariah's island. Zachariah
Storey I owned the island until his death in 1732 and willed the
property to his child Elizabeth Storey who was then a young child. By
1755 the island is mentioned in the will of Ellicott Storey the nephew
of Zachariah Storey I. It seems Elizabeth had no interest in the island
and Ellicott Storey made a legal claim after Elizabeth had married
Ephriam Moshier and was living in New York state. The islands are quite
interesting and Zachariah Storey I would have owned his property during
the years that so many stories have been written about the area.
The neighboring Fripp island was owned by Capt John
Fripp, a well known mariner of Granville Co. South Carolina. He is
referred to as a pirate and supposedly buried treasure on the shores of
his home. His descendants became well known citizens of Beaufort, South
Carolina and owned plantations that stand to this day. Legend says the
pirate Black beard hid on Fripp and surrounding islands at times as
well, also hiding his treasure. Considering that Zachariah and most of
the Storey family were mariners it would be very interesting to know
more about the history of the island and any contacts he would have had
with Capt. John Fripp or other pirates. For more information and some
excellent reading see the following website.
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bean95/ft/frippus/links/mshore-01.htm
---------------------------------------
Legends of Fripp Island
There are several books on sale in South Carolina book
stores devoted to ancient tales and legends of the outer barrier islands
and the pirate days. It seems as there are more legends connected with
this lovely little island than any other on the South Carolina coast.
The island had numerous Indian mounds, and various relics of the Red
Man's occupancy have been recovered.
It has been written that the Pirate, John Fripp,
buried his treasure deep in the sands on Fripp Island at a location
known only to him. Later when he needed ready money he would row over to
the islands to replenish his coffers. Although several have attempted to
locate this treasure, none have been successful.
A modern tourist brochure carries this brief legend:
"Captain John Fripp - the island's namesake - did little to secure
a reputation for island hospitality .......... Whenever he needed funds
Fripp allegedly took a helper with him and sailed to the island. He
always returned alone.
The writings of a grant from King Charles II dated
1662, written on vellum or heavy parchment that carried his seal found
in previous references, apparently was a legend as well since I have
found no substantiating documentation of this event. If there were any
records of this in the Proprietary documents I have not been able to
find them and if this story is true any record must have been lost or
burned.
Fripp Island is said to have been the favourite
hideaway of that swaggering reckless pirate of the early eighteenth
century, Blackbeard, who roamed the Colonial coast - especially along
the Delaware, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Around Fripp Island were many
ideal places to evade capture. Small winding creeks, inlets and rivers
abound nearby. A high bluff made a perfect look-out. Blackbeard was born
in Bristol, England but one seldom hears him referred to by his real
name of Edward Teach. His nickname was due to the extraordinary quantity
of jet black hair with which his head and face were covered. He was in
the habit of twisting it with ribbons in small tails and turning them up
about his ears.
Somewhere beneath the sand dunes on Fripp Island,
Blackbeard is thought to have buried many treasure chests. In 1708, he
anchored off the Port of Charleston and there he plundered incoming and
outgoing ships, taking as prisoners some of the important persons of the
town. It was not a pleasant sight for the citizens of Charles Town to
see the pirate captain's ship guarding their port, its black flag with
its cross and white skull fluttering in the breeze. So when Blackbeard
sent a messenger bearing a white flag to the settlement saying that he
would liberate his prisoners and vacate the port in exchange for much
needed medicine for his crew, the offer was quickly accepted.
Early in the morning, in May, Blackbeard, wearing his
usual 'three brace of pistols hanging in holsters' marched at the head
of his men through Charles Town's streets, to obtain supplies.
In the dignified old city, a tale is whispered that
the high born, adventurous Miss O---- living in a large gray house near
St. Michael's Church, waved gaily at the bold young pirate, who returned
her greeting with a bow and a wide sweep of his hat.
He exchanged his prisoners for medicine as promised,
and on his way back to the ship, stopped for a moment where Miss O----
was standing in her gateway. Without a word, Blackbeard swooped her up
and carried the frantic, struggling girl aboard the vessel. Immediately
he set sail for North Carolina where his friend, Governor Charles Eden,
married him to Miss O---- despite her pleadings. Then sailing to what is
now called Fripp Island - where much of his treasure had been buried -
Blackbeard left his wife there heavily guarded while he resumed his
piracy of the high seas.
One end to this story is that Edward Teach's bride in
time ceased to exhibit the coldness she first showed, became a loving
wife and one day, bedecked in diamonds, pearls and rubies, she sailed
away with him to the West Indies. (From "Tales of Beaufort",

Old Island
Heritage Preserve
Preserve Directions
Old Island Heritage Preserve is only accessible by
boat. To reach the preserve, put in at Russ Point Landing at Fripps
Inlet on the south end of Hunting Island State Park. Travel across
Fripps Inlet to either Old House Creek or the Story River. The preserve
is on the right side of Old House Creek and on the left side of the
Story River. The uplands are difficult to access without crossing
expanses of salt marsh. Perhaps the best way to view the preserve is
paddling its boundary in a canoe or kayak. The shallow creeks and salt
marsh have good numbers of shorebirds, egrets, herons, gulls, terns and
red-winged blackbirds.
There are eight lots on Old Island that are leased for
fish camps. These leases were in effect when SCDNR purchased the island
and will be honored until they expire in December of 2004. Public access
is not allowed at these lease sites while the leases are in effect.
Highlights
The 400 acre Old Island Heritage Preserve is located
in coastal Beaufort County, near Hunting Island State Park. The property
was acquired from The Nature Conservancy's South Carolina Chapter to
protect seven coastal habitat types and feeding areas for the federally
endangered Wood Stork and federally threatened Bald Eagle. Perhaps the
most appealing feature of the property is a relatively undisturbed
coastal island. One only has to look across Old House Creek at Fripp
Island to see the potential for development on this property.
The preserve consists of one major portion of uplands
and several smaller, isolated pieces. The uplands are relict dune ridges
surrounded by many acres of salt marsh and tidal creeks. The dune ridges
are dominated by live oak, loblolly pine, and cabbage palm. The
understory consists of thick stands of yaupon holly and wax myrtle.
Several dune ridges have freshwater wetlands between them and some have
saltwater wetlands in the middle. This mosaic of habitat types makes the
island a very diverse system.

Loan from Zachariah Storey I to Elizabeth Aryes in

time of the loan. Thomas Ellis would have died by that date as well.

Witness Present Benjamin Stiles, Arch Hamilton South
Carolina. Proved in the Secretary Office by the Oath of Benjamin Stiles,
Testator Hon Hargrave, Depty Secty.
The witnesses above seem to have a good relationship
with Zachariah Storey and some of his family. Archibald Hamilton also
witnesses the will of Zachariah Storey I. Archibald's son Paul Hamilton
later in 1750 witnesses the will of Zachariah's sister in law Elizabeth
Storey (wife of Jeremiah). The Hamiltons were another well known family
in the Charleston area. Archibald Hamilton's grandson Paul Hamilton
became Governor of the state of South Carolina the mid 1700s.
Benjamin Stiles who was a witness above lived in very
close proximity to Zachariah Story on the Newtown Creek, now called the
James Island Creek and I suspect was a very close neighbor. Benjamin
Stiles built a home which was added on to by his descendants, now called
Stiles Plantation. There is a subdivision surrounding the property which
still bears his name. If you circle to the back of the home the original
structure built by Benjamin Styles can still be seen.
-----------------------------
Zachariah had several documents witnessed by Ben
Stiles of James Island. I believe that Ben and Zachariah are likely
friends as well as neighbors. Benjamin Stiles owned a large mansion
which is still standing on the old Newtown Creek (now called James
Island Creek). Furthermore Zachariah Storey I owned fourty four acres on
the old Newtown Creek. As of yet I have not found a map of Zachariah's
land in Charleston on the Newtown Creek but I suspect it is close in
proximity to the Plantation of Benjamin Stiles. The current Stiles
Plantation was added to the original home. The original home can be
viewed from behind on the street that runs along the water. The original
home of Benjamin Stiles is one of the oldest on James Island, South
Carolina.

baptized June 10, 1722 Berkley Co., South Carolina, died testate
in 1755; m. 27 Sept 1753 Mrs Sarah Williamson, widow of William
Williamson. In his will he mentions no children only his two
brothers and wife Sarah. He does leave the 372 acre Island
previously owned by Zachariah and other relatives to his wife
Sarah. The Island today is called the Old Island Heritage Preserve
and is located in coastal Beaufort County, near Hunting Island
State Park. Eagles, sea turtles and other wildlife live on the
preserve today. See the notes from Zachariah Storey I for further
details concerning the Island. Ellicott leaves "two boat with
their sails and all the Tackles" as well as a lot
"Fronting Broad Street" in Charleston, South Carolina.
Also leaves his brother John Story his "boat gun". I
assume that Ellicott Storey was living on the Island at the time
of his death in 1755. I see no other property in Granville Co.
South Carolina where he would be living when this will would have
been written there. As well he owns two boats with sails and a
boat gun.

Provincial Regiments
The New York Volunteers
This was one of the first loyalist regiments
organized, the commissions of some of its officers dating back to
January, 1776. It saw plenty of hard service. The first two companies
that were gazetted consisted chiefly of loyal refugees who were mustered
at Halifax while New York was still in the hands of the Americans. The
companies accompanied General Howe's army in August, 1776, and were
present at the taking of Long Island. Captain Archibald Campbell, a very
brave officer, and one of the first to fall in the revolution, was
killed in a skirmish at Westchester, New York, March 19, 1777. The New
York Volunteers were victorious, but could ill afford the loss of their
brave leader. As the war progressed, additional companies were formed
and the whole placed under the command of Lieut. Col. George Turnbull,
who was transferred from Colonel Beverley Robinson's Loyal American
Regiment.
The New York Volunteers particularly distinguished
themselves at the capture of Fort Montgomery on the 16th Oct., 1777.
They were about 300 strong and were enrolled in three companies under
Major Alexander Grant. The muster roll of the corps at this period is
now in the writers possession. Opposite some of the names are written
the words "killed at Fort Montgomery." Among those so named is
the name of their brave leader Major Grant.
The New York Volunteers fought well in the gallant
defence of Savannah, September 1779, and gained fresh laurels at the
taking of Charleston by Sir Henry Clinton in the following April. The
siege lasted twelve days and ended with the capture of the city with
5,618 prisoners of war and 400 pieces of artilery besides a great
quantity of spoils. Shortly after the corps was attacked at Rocky Mount,
on the Wateree river west of Camben, where they were in garrison, by a
superior force under Colonel Sumpter, but the latter was handsomely
defeated. Col. Turnbull and his men fought at Camden in the great battle
of the 16th August, 1779, in which the Americans lost 70 officers and
2,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners.
On the 25th April following, Lord Rawdon with 900 men,
the New York Volunteers included, gained a brilliant victory over
General Greene at Hobkirk's Hill. Again at Eutaw Springs on the 8th
September, the corps behaved well. Major John Coffin had honor of
opening the battle on behalf of the King's troops, which he did in
gallant style, and a very essential service was rendered by Major
Sullivan and another portion of the corps which at a critical moment
threw themselves in a brick house from which they could not be
dislodged, thereby holding in check the advance of the enemy's right
wing until the victory elsewhere was assured.
At the peace the New York Volunteers came to New
Brunswick and were allotted lands along the upper valley of the Keswick.
Quite a number of the corps made their influence felt in the country of
their adoption. Major John Coffin was for years a member for Kings
county in the house of assembly and a member of the executive council.
In the war of 1812 he raised and commanded a regiment, and eventually
rose to the rank of Major General. He died at the Nerepis in 1838, at
the age of 87 years. Captain Archibald McLean was distinguished for his
bravery at Eutaw Springs. He was a member of the house of assembly for
York county, and one [of] the old magistrates. He died at his residence
on the Nashwalk in 1830, aged 76 years. Lieut. Garret Clopper of this
corps was the first recorder of deeds and wills for York county. He died
at Fredericton in 1823 at the age of 67. His son Henry G. Clopper was
the founder of the Central Bank of New Brunswick and his portrait is now
engraved on the five dollar notes of the People's Bank of Fredericton.

Zachariah was likely a follower of the famous loyalist
spy Capt. John Walden Meyers of Albany. It is known that several of
Zachariah's descendants including Caleb Storey followed John Walden
Meyers to Quebec after the American Revolution. Many descendants of
Caleb can be found there today. I will need to confirm.
Information about John Walden Meyers
HISTORICAL INFO: "SETTLERS OF THE BEEKMAN PATENT,
Dutchess County, New York, An Historical and Genealogical Study of all
the 18th Century Settlers in the Patent", by Frank J. Doherty,
Pleasant Valley, New York 12569, 1990", Chapter 10, Page 575. We
quote: "The Revolutionary War - III, JOHANNIS WALTER MEYER."
"Many of the Ancient Documents at the Dutchess County Clerk's
Office contain information about local Tory activity. JOHANNIS WALTER
MEYER [or Waltermire, Waldenmier, etc.] was the subject of several of
them. He was a noted Tory spy and agitator and several books have been
written about his exploits during the Revolution, one of which was the
attempted kidnapping of General Schuyler in Albany in 1780. Two of the
books are: JOHN WALDEN MEYERS LOYALIST SPY, by Mary Beacock Fryer, (Dundern
Press 1983), and HANS WALTIMYER, by Jane Bennett Goddard, 1980. [See
also the lengthy accounts in the NEW-YORK JOURNAL and GENERAL ADVERTISER
issues of 13 Aug 1781 and 20 Aug. 1781]. Unfortunately, neither of the
books mentions much about his activities in Dutchess Co., nor do they
tell of his ancestery. He was born 24 Feb 1745, the son of John George
Waltermire [who is listed in DAR Graves 2:122 NYSL, because he
"made loans to the government"] and Margaret Bard, and was bpt.
at the Red Hook Lutheran Ch. {FJD}. John Waltermire spent some time in
Beekman in 1778 and on several occasions was able to persuade local men
who lived on Mountain Road [in present day LaGrange] to go with him to
join the British in New York. Waltermire became captain of the 9th
Company of the Loyal Rangers and served for 6 1/2 years for the
British."

well known loyalist John Walden Meyers to Quebec and his descendants can

Notes for ELIZABETH STOREY:
Elizabeth's father Zachariah Storey I left his 372
acre island to her in his will written 1732. Zachariah I and his brother
Rowland likely died of Yellow fever during the epidemic of the
Charleston and James Island, South Carolina areas in 1732. By 1755 the
island (near Hunting and Fripp Island) is owned by her cousin Ellicott
Storey. In 1755 Elizabeth would be living in the Dutchess Co., New York
area.

FROM: Richard Gifford, May 17, 2002
The first two settlers were, according to a history of
Dutchess, Tripp Mosher and Ephraim Mosher, shortly before 1760 (Timothy
Deuel must be one of the first settlers of this area as well). The two
Moshers were not all that closely related, second cousins once-removed,
but they were both from Dartmouth and their family connections are
interesting.

1787 The Hoag Farm 1962
Close by the lakeshore in the town of Grand
Isle, the farm of James O. and J. Byron Hoag has been in the Hoag
family for 175 years. It was purchased by Daniel Hoag in 1787, and
was then in what was called the "Two Heros", which
included the present North Hero, South Hero and Grand Isle. It is
said that Ethan Allen gave the name of "Two Heros" for
himself and Samuel Herrick. The Hoag farm was in a section later
called Middle Hero, which was again renamed Grand Isle.
The father to son list of owners is Daniel Hoag,
James, James W., and J. Byron and James O., present co-owners.
The family was originally Quaker. However, a
brother of one of the owners gave his life as a Union Soldier in
the Civil War.
J. Byron has been a selectman, a representative
in the State legislature in Montpelier, and manager of the
cooperative creamery.
It is a big dairy farm of 300 acres. The house
is 157 years old and the barn is over 100 years old.
There are a 19-year-old son and a 17-year-old
daughter to carry on the tradition.
This is the first award to a farm in Grand Isle
County.

9. JOHN5 STORY
(ROWLAND4 STOREY, ANN3 BELCHER,
JOSEPH2, GREGORY1)55
was born Abt. 1734, and died 1767 in "of St Helena's Parish".
He married ELIZABETH MIKELL November 23, 175356,
daughter of EPHRAIM MIKELL and ELIZABETH HAZZARD. She was born February
02, 1737/38.
Notes for ELIZABETH MIKELL:
Elizabeth was the dau. of Ephraim Mikell Jr., facts
about her father and grandfather:
FROM: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~ehm4m/docs/sc_extract.html
Ephraim Mikell, Sr., was of English origin, that seems
the most likely probability. For he came to this country, late in the
seventeenth century, with a group of other Englishmen, led by Lord
Cardross. Then, too, the "Mikell Genealogy of South Carolina,"
by Townsend Mikell, uncle of Dr. Mikell, says: "The name is spelled
in the older records, Mikel, Mickel, Michell, The sound variation from
"ch" to "k" is one of common occurrence in early
records and in early surnames. The theory of English origin of the
Mikell family is further strengthened by the fact that Ephraim Mikell,
Sr., married Martha Sealey, whose surname and its variants Seeley, Seely,
Sely, etc., are of great antiquity in counties Oxford, Norfolk,
Gloucester, and Somerset all of England. Of the founding of the family
in South Carolina, the "Mikell Genealogy" says, quoting an
earlier work by Rev. Dr. Basil Manly, "Historical Sketch of the
Baptist Church of South Carolina": "Not long after this period
(1682) lord Cardross, a nobleman from the North of England, came over to
Carolina, bringing with him a Colony of North Britons, who were chiefly
Baptists, and settled at Port Royal Island. But the neighboring Indians
and more particularly the Spanish settlement at St. Augustine proving
hostile, soon obliged them to remove to a place more secure, and before
1686 we find them settled at the mouth of the Edisto River," One of
the prominent members of the Colony was Ephraim Mikell, "a pious,
excellent man." He was appointed tax collector for Edisto Island in
1715. He died February 15, 1728-29. His son, Ephraim Mikell, Jr., one of
the executors of his father's will, died in 1743. He was captain of the
Regiment of Foot in the expedition against St. Augustine in 1740. He
married twice: (first) Mary, and (second) Mrs. Elizabeth (Hazzard)
McGilvery. The oldest son by his first wife was John Mikell, who was
born February 18, 1718, and died between December 13, 1764, and March
15, 1765. He was a prominent planter. His wife's first name was Ann.
Their eldest son and child was Ephraim Mikell, horn March 26, 1741, who
died June 22, 1809.

Fulton Ave.
Hempstead, NY 11550
INSCRIPTIONS FROM HEMPSTEAD'S OLD TOWN BURIAL GROUND.
The graves in the Old Town Burial Ground are numbered
consecutively from 1 to 543, beginning on the westerly side, &
extending, in twenty- one lines, from Fulton Avenue northerly as is
indicated upon the map which Engineer Smith has filed in the office of
the Village Clerk of Hempstead. While adopting an alphabetical order in
this list, for the convenience of reference, we have retained at the
left hand side the number of each grave, so that its location may be
readily determined by a reference to the map. Some of these graves,
which are indicated by a *, appear not to lie within the boundary of the
Old Town Burial Ground, but are in the Sammis section instead. The
stones marking these graves had not yet been buried, in May, 1923., To a
few of the inscriptions in the foregoing list have been added memoranda
from the Surrogate's office, showing the dates of probate & the
places of record of the wills of the deceased persons. Much interesting
family history may be gathered from these wills.

Notes for COMER BULLOCK:
FROM: http://users.stargate.net/~qecpaul/history/bullockhistory.htm
Comer Bullock, the cousin of Richard (3), who was born
in Rehoboth in 1734, served as Elder of the above mentioned Baptist
church (later called the Bangal Baptist Church) for almost 50 years and
he is said to have baptized over one thousand persons. An interesting
incident in the church was in 1771 when the mother church in Swansea,
Massachusetts adopted the singing of Watt's hymns in their services but
the local church was divided on the question of "singing by rule of
hymns". As a result, several families withdrew from church
attendance with Elder Ephriam (1) Bullock among the dissenters. On the
other hand, Elder Comer sided with the mother church and after a brief
spat the two groups soon patched up their differences. Elder Comer was
kept busy farming during the week, pastoring his own church, and
starting others. Later on a Baptist church was started in Kinderhook,
Columbia County, New York.
The Bullocks in Stanford were probably all farmers
dealing with various kinds of livestock. An important item for the
livestock owner during this period was the record of ear marks (Ref.6).
"The record of these marks helps differentiate the individual who
actually settled the area from that individual who simply owned
land." "Comer Bullock's ear mark is a crop of the left ear and
two slits in the end of the right ear. Recorded the 7 day of February
1774, by Samuel Rowland, Clerk." The Bullock name appears several
times as buyers and sellers of property and as mortgagors in Reference
6.
FROM: http://www.fbinstitute.com/baptist-in-america/benedict17.htm
In the Great Nine Partners a church was formed under
the ministry of the late Elder Comer Bullock, about 1779; it has, at
times, flourished much, and embraced a multitude of members in many of
the surrounding parts of the country. In 1790, according to Asplund’s
Register, it contained 870 members, and its preachers, besides Elder
Bullock, were Christopher Newcure, Christopher Newcure, Jr., Nicholas
Hare, James Purdy, and Abraham Adams. Mr. Bullock was born in Rehoboth,
Massachusetts, probably about 1756; was named after John Comer, once
pastor of a church in that town, to which he belonged before his removal
to this place, where he was ordained about 1780, by Elders Charles
Thompson, then of Warren, and Samuel Hicks of the place of his nativity.
Mr. Bullock finished his pious course in 1811.

of two first county commissioners. Sept. 12, meeting held at the home of
Marcus to conduct county business. Marcus Shaw became Otter Tail Co., MN
county treasurer after May 20, 1869 and resigned July 3, 1873
FROM: The family record of Linda A. Ellsworth
"In 1895 he is in Lamoni, Decorah Co., Iowa which
is where Graceland College is located. Marcus was a stone mason,
plasterer, etc. I have often wondered if he helped in the construction
of the college. I believe he was in Independence, MO by 1900. After
Eliza died he moved to Ottumwa, Wapello co., IA where his step-daughter
Lilly Bentley Ammenhauser lived."
FROM THE BOOK: Church History Volume 4, Chapter 13,
1878
April 7, Elder Marcus Shaw, of Detroit, Minnesota,
wrote in behalf of Mrs. Lois Cutler, wife of Alpheus Cutler, as follows:
(page 219)
In order to perform a duty that our late Sr. Lois
Cutler had in her mind to attend to before she died, but failed to do
it, I write.
After she had united with the Reorganized Church, she
asked for additional testimony; and she promised in her prayer that she
would make it known unto the world. Her prayer was about as follows:
"Lord, if the present Joseph, the son of the
martyred prophet, is truly his father's successor by right, and has been
called by thine own power to the presidency of the church, and is
accepted of thee as a prophet, wilt thou witness unto me in this manner,
by taking this lump off from my finger that has been here for a long
time. If this be done, I shall then know that the Reorganized Church is
the church, and that Joseph is thy prophet, and I covenant to tell the
same to the world."
The facts are as follows: She had a lump on one of her
fingers about the size of a large hazlenut, of a bony substance, which
had been there some fourteen years, and truly she could ascribe it to
some unseen power if it was removed. The good Lord answered her prayer,
for it remained only a few days afterward. She had thought for a long
time that she would write to the Herald of this miracle, but neglected
to do so. And now, to be obedient unto the Spirit, I write for her, and
add my testimony, as I was knowing to the fact that the lump was on her
finger for several years and that it went away, and I believe that it
was in answer to her prayer. Near three years ago she was miraculously
healed by the laying on of hands; and also by the laying on of hands and
prayer her eyesight was restored.-The Saints' Herald, vol. 25, p. 172.
FROM THE BOOK: Church History Volume 4, Chapter 11,
1877
Bro. Marcus Shaw, of Detroit, Becker County,

Notes for CORDELIA WHITING:
Little is known about Marcus Shaw's first wife
Cordelia other than a marriage record in Mills Co. Iowa. It is not
believed that they ever had children. Cordelia was the daughter of
Charles Whiting and Martha Manna Hurlburt. The Whiting family were
longtime Mormon/RLDS Church members for many generations. Several of the
Whiting descendants would move to the Independence Mo. area and are
buried at Mound Grove Cemetery including Alonzo, Lurette, Editha Ann and
Louisa Lida. These would all be first cousins of Cordelia Whiting. The
Whitings would eventually follow Adolphus Cutler and his movement to
Iowa and Minnesota as Marcus Shaw did.
FROM: http://www.cutlerite.org/history.htm
(Information concerning Chauncey Whiting the uncle of
Cordelia Whiting and his association with The Church of Jesus Christ,
Cutlerites which later moved to Independence Mo.)
Alpheus Cutler died August 10, 1864, and was succeeded
in office by Chauncey Whiting. Shortly after Cutler's death the church
moved to Minnesota where they established a thriving community at
Clitherall or Old Town, as it is now known. During this next 10 year
period they were visited by missionaries of a different restoration
group who offered an easier way of life and lead off those who were weak
in the faith, and many young members.
Chauncy Whiting passed away in 1902 and was followed
by his son, Isaac, in church leadership. Isaac continued in his office
until his death in 1922, at which time Emery Fletcher assumed the role
of President. About 1912, the Order of Enoch, having been discontinued,
for a time, due to the reluctance of some in turning in the homesteads
they had proved out upon, it was decided to again set up the Order as
originally instituted, and it has been maintained to the present day.

Andrew J. Simmonds (1943-1995), in his 1995 Nauvoo
Journal article, ("'Thou and all Thy House:' Three Case Studies of
Clan and Charisma in the Early Church") tried to link D. P. with
two of the daughters-in-law of Mormons "Sally Hulet Whiting, [and]
her husband Elisha Whiting, Jr." Simmonds says that "the
Hulets were a Massachusetts family settled in Lee, Berkshire County, who
moved to Nelson Township, Portage County, Ohio, in the Western Reserve
in 1814." In his 1979 unpublished Mormon History Association paper,
"John Noah and the Hulets: A Study in Charisma in the Early
Church," Simmonds identifies these daughter-in-law as sisters Lydia
B. Hurlbut, who in 1830 married William E. Whiting (1807-1834) and
Martha Mana Hurlbut, who, on Sept. 16, 1835 was married by Joseph Smith,
Jr. to Charles Whiting (1811-1841). Lydia remarried Charles English
after the death of William in 1841, and after Charles' death in 1839 she
married John J. Babcock. Lydia appears to have died on the Iowa trail c.
1847-48. Martha was born at Burlington, Vermont on Aug. 27, 1814. She
remarried the infamous Mormon outlaw Jackson Redding (1817-aft. 1850)
after the death of Charles Whiting in 1841; she died at Winter Quarters
on March 15, 1847.
FROM: http://www.swcp.com/~jhafner/whithurlhy.htm
(information concerning Cordelias family including her uncles and
cousins)
Friction between the Missourians and Mormons continued
in Caldwell County resulting in armed conflicts. In the fall of 1838,
Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Boggs issued his infamous order to the
militia to drive the Mormons out of the state or kill them in the
process. By March 1839, the Mormons had abandoned all settlements in
Missouri and had moved into Illinois and Iowa. Probable routes are shown
on the following map entitled "LDS Winter Exoduss from Missouri,
1838-1839." It seems likely that Lydia and her five children, and
Charles English, if still alive, traveled to Illinois with Elisha
Whiting, Sally, and other Whitings.
Accordig to Christensen, the Whitings came to the
"Morley Settlement" near Lima, Illinois. Also:
William E. Whiting's family was found in the record of
membership of Lima Stake. The record showed Lydia B. Babcock with
children; Edmond W., Mary M. and Martha B. Whiting. Mary and Martha, the
twins, were listed as under eight years; also Morenda, A. English and
Charles H. English were under eight years. That pointed to the fact that
Lydia had been widowed a second time and had married a third husband
named Babcock. She and her children were listed as members of the Lima
Stake when it was organized in 1840.
Although the earlier settlers in Illinois had
initially welcomed the Mormons driven from Missouri, once again there
was friction and mob violence. In the fall of 1845, the Mormons began to
gather in Nauvoo for protection and to prepare for a westward migration
in the spring. The exodus began in March, 1846. According to
Christensen:
The people known to have been traveling in that
immediate group which left Nauvoo were: Elisha and Sally Hulet Whiting
with their unmarried sons, Sylvester, Almond, and Francis Lewis. Also
with Elisha were his widowed daughters-in-law, the former wives of
William and Charles Whiting. Their families were composed of William's
three children, plus two sons born to Lydia by her second husband,
Charles English. Also, Martha Hurlburt Whiting and her three children
went along. Chancey and Editha Ann Morley Whiting, with their children
were in the group. So were Amos and Philena Morley Cox and their three
children. Orville and Elvira Cox and two children were part of the
group. F. Walter and Emeline Whiting Cox were there with their five
children. In the wagon with Edwin Whiting rode Mary Cox Whiting and
Jemima Losee Cox.
An incident in the Journal History is quoted as
follows:
28 March 1846. The main camp still remained on
Chariton River… A boy by the name of Edmund Whiting shot an otter at
the bend of the river; he afterwards discovered that the otter was
caught in a trap; he took off the skin and carried it to camp, leaving
the trap on the bank. In the course of the day the trapper, who lived a
short distance off, came into camp and stated that he had eight traps in
the neighborhood, and had lost six of them, intimating that the Camp had
stolen them; but this was not believed. In the evening, the Council
heard what the boy had done with the otter skin and called him into the
post office with the skin, when he related all his doings concerning the
matter.
The council were satisfied that he meant no harm and
instructed him to go early in the morning and bring the trap, and take
it and the skin to the trapper in company with Stephen Markham.
President Young instructed Brother Markham to say to the man that if one
of his traps were found in the camp within one thousand miles of the
place, it should be sent back to him with the man that took it.
30 March 1846. Stephan Markham reported that he could
not find Edmund Whiting, the boy that shot the otter in the trap and
that he had returned the skin to Mr. Davis, the trapper, who was
satisfied with the actions of the officer of the Camp.
Note that there is no mention of John Babcock, nor his
children.
The Whitings and related families went on west to a
temporary camp they called "Mt Pisgah" (near present Talmage,
IA, about 170 miles west of Nauvoo).
A sizable tract of ground at Mt. Pisgah was fenced,
the ground was plowed and planted to crops. The families went to work to
build temporary homes. Walter Cox built two huts for his family. The
Whitings again built a chair shop. Walter Cox cut down trees, split the
trunks and made benches for a little school in a grove. The lower
benches were for seats and the higher benches for desks.
Christensen mentions Edmond Whiting several times. In
response to a request from Mormon leaders for volunteers to serve in the
war with Mexico, Edmond and his uncle Almon were mustered into service
at Council Bluffs on July 16, 1846. After their return from service in
the "Mormon Battalion" (5), presumably 1847, they helped
establish a new settlement called Silver Creek or Cutler's Settlement
(between present day Silver City and Malvern). Chauncey, Sylvester, and
Lewis Whiting were also among those involved. Neither Edmond nor Almon
is mentioned in the 1850 US census of Pottawatomie Co, IA, but Chauncey
and his family are, as is a group of young Whiting people living
together: Sylvester - 24, Louis - 22, Abner - 20, Mary - 17, Martha -
16, Cordelia - 14, (wife of Marcus Shaw) and Elisha - 12. The last three
seem likely to be the children of Martha Manna Hurlburt Whiting, who
died at Winter Quarters, near present day Omaha, during the spring of
1847. We have wondered if the Mary - 17 could be 'our' Mary, but, if so,
where was her twin sister Martha? According to Christensen, Edmond
Whiting married Augusta McConoughly on July 19, 1857. His family is
listed in the Federal Censuses of 1860 for Fremont Co and in the 1870,
1880, and 1900 censuses for Page Co. He died June 12, 1908 in
Shenandoah, IA. According to Christensen, he spent one winter in
Minnesota, presumably with other "Cutlerites" in Clitherall,
but then returned to southwestern Iowa. His oldest son, William Elisha
Whiting was born in Manti on Jan. 25, 1862, became a physician, and in
1890 moved to Brush, CO, the home of his first cousin, Rena Bell
McGinnis, and her husband, John. The Colorado State Business Directories
for 1895 and 1896 list him as physician and postmaster, and also in the
drug business with McGinnis. Dr. Whiting died of typhoid fever on Feb
11, 1896, and was buried near the graves of Rena and John McGinnis in
the Brush Cemetary.

It was becoming very urgent for the pioneers to
complete their journey and to plant a crop as soon as possible in the
Salt Lake Valley. The Twelve directed Orson Pratt to lead an advance
company of 42 men and 23 wagons to proceed through the mountains. They
were instructed to make roads to enable the main company to follow
later. Heber C. Kimball returned to The Needles. At 3 p.m., this company
started their journey and traveled about eight miles down Red Fork.
[The company consisted of Orson Pratt, Orrin Porter
Rockwell, Jackson Redding, Stephen Markham, Nathaniel Fairbanks, Joseph

Notes for SARAH JANE ROCKWELL REED:
FROM: Linda in Oregon (a cousin through Marcus Shaw)
" I have seen that information about Sarah Shaw
being the daughter of Orrin Porter Rockwell. However, the marriage
records of Mills Co., IA says Marcus married Sarah Jane REED on Aug. 12,
1858. In the 1856 Mills Co., IA census a Noah and Sarah Reed are living
in the household of Luana Perry (Luana Hart Beebe Rockwell Perry
Baldwin)who was married to Orrin Porter Rockwell. Before that Marcus was
married to Cordelia Whitling. Marcus was a follower of Adolfus
Cutler."
Linda stated that Marcus or his children had submitted
lineage to the book: A history of the Hinmans and Kindred Families, 1907
at sometime during its production that had many verifiable facts. The
connection of Marcus' wife Sarah Jane as a daughter of Orrin Porter
Rockwell was also submitted. As so many know Marcus as the husband of
Sarah Jane Rockwell and with the production of the book, it is believed
that possibly Sarah Jane listed as Reed on the Mills Co. marriage record
had previously married a Reed and hence explaining the confusion with
the last names.

Notes for ELIZA ANN STUART:
Eliza Stuart died due to a fall from her bedroom
window July 4th 1919. It seems she was sleeping and became hot and
leaned out of the top floor window of her home for fresh air. It is
assumed that she became faint as well from heart disease which she
suffered from at the time. Eliza fell from the window and hit her head,
passing days later in a coma. Her home was located in what is now the
rear parking of the RLDS Temple in Independence Mo. Eliza's death made
frontpage news in the local paper, the Examiner. She was buried at Mound
Grove Cemetery, Independence, Jackson Co., Missouri.

Notes for GEORGE WALLACE THOMPSON I:
Thia is an article about my grandfather George
Wallace Thompson 's memories of growing up next door to the Smith
family of Independence Mo. This includes the son (Joseph III) and
grandson (Isreal Smith) of Joseph Smith Jr., the prophet of the
RLDS and LDS (Mormon) Churches. The Mormon prophet Joseph Smith
Jr. was murdered by a mob in 1844 in Carthage Ill. Several Cheneys
were in the group which brought Joseph Smith Jr. home to Nauvoo
Ill. for burial. My great-great grandfather Dr. Levi Cheney would
live next door to his son, Joseph Smith III in Independence Mo.
Joseph Smith III was the President of the RLDS Church until his
death in the early 1900s. My family have been in continuous
ownership of the original home of Dr. Levi Cheney since the 1890s.
This Biography was also published in the magazine
"Spectrum" in 1993 and probably at numerous times.
George Wallace Thompson passed away in 1996.

My Memories of Brother Israel's Family, by
George Wallace Thompson I
I am thankful for the rich spiritual heritage
which has been mine to enjoy, for I grew up in Zion among the
saints. I was born to George F. and Samantha Thompson, December 7,
1911. If they had not been members of the Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I might not have survived, for
I was born with Pneumonia. My mother often told me of calling the
elders to administer to me, and how I was healed. When I was seven
months old, I was blessed by President Joseph Smith III and Elder
W. H. Garrett.
Brother Joseph Smith III died when I was only
three years of age, so I do not remember him. But I was well
acquainted with his son, Israel A. Smith, and his beautiful wife
Nina. Their sons, Joseph Perrine, who was called Perry, and Don
Carlos, were my playmates. They lived at 1214 West Short, and we
lived at 1320 West Short, in Independence, MO. So my brothers and
I were close playmates of brother Israel's sons.
I was taught the gospel, and when I was nine
years of age, I was baptized by Brother W. D. Bullard who lived
near by. I knew many of the old time missionaries, and I remember
well the visits to Apostle Joseph Luff's home. He was also a
doctor, and he allowed me, with the curiosity of a growing boy, to
study the many bottles and vials and their contents on the crowded
shelves in his living room.
Many of the missionaries visited in our home to
have my mother cut their hair. She had a barber shop on the
Independence Square prior to her marriage to my father, who also
was a barber when they married. Mother had quit work to become a
wife and mother. Ever afterwards she looked upon her ability to
cut hair as a talent to use for the Lord. She let Brother Israel
A. Smith, who at the time was one of the Church's bishops, know
that she would like to use her talent for the Lord, and he agreed
to send the traveling seventies and elders who needed haircuts to
her.
Most traveling missionaries visited Brother
Israel when the arrived in Independence, for he was a friend they
all loved and trusted, as well as a Saint who sympathized with
their financial needs. He and mother worked together to keep the
missionaries well groomed. Mothers talents saved the men and the
Church much money. Those devoted preachers were on fire with the
gospel, and of miracles in God's church as mother cut their hair.
When I saw them coming or was at home, young as I was, I went to
listen to the stories, for I had faith that their testimonies were
true.
However much of my time was spent playing with
my brother, John, who was nearest my age, and Don Carlos and
Perry. Not far from our home was a little creek in some woods, and
we four boys, along with other neighborhood boys, damned up the
creek. The water rose to about three feet deep, making a pond. We
called it our swimming hole. Our poor mothers nearly worried
themselves sick, for they were afraid we would drowned. All we
managed to do though was to have a lot of fun and get wet and
muddy.
Whenever we were playing, brother Israel would
come to check on us from time to time, as we were busy and not
paying attention and not paying attention to what he was doing, he
would walk up quietly and manage to slyly slip a chocolate drop
into each boys pocket. More than once, when I was standing with my
hands behind me, I felt him place a little chocolate treat in my
open palm. He never was harsh with us boys, but was always gentle
and kind and forever giving us little surprises.
My brother and I and Don Carlos and Perry played
back and forth and in and around one another's homes. Sometimes I
went to Don and Perry's home not only to play, but to listen to
their mother sing. To me, she sang like an angel. I would sit out
on the porch steps or the concrete steps that lead down to the
sidewalks, and listen to her sing the hymns of the restoration,
parts of the messiah, and other beautiful pieces. I never grew
tired of hearing her sweet voice float from her open door or
raised window. And, though I was but a young lad, I would often
feel the thrill of the comforting spirit of the Lord as the music
feel upon my eager ears.
I am thankful for the rich heritage which has
been mine. That rich heritage included the teachings I received
from my parents, the testimonies from the fervent missionaries,
and the privilege of being close to the prophet Israel A. Smith
and his family.
The following was written by my grandfather
George Wallace Thompson, (grandson of Dr. Levi Cheney) to my older
brother about 1970, concerning the history of Dr. Levi Cheney:
"Dear Geo III
Hi Good Buddie:
I received your letter and will help you all I
can
My Grandfather, Your Great Great Grandfather was
a pioneer Doctor who practiced in the latter part of the eighteen
hundreds and up until 1901. In those days there were no drugstores
or Pharmaceutical companies who mixed and prepared medicines, so
the Doctors had to make their own medicine. They went in the woods
and dug herbs and gathered different tree and bush bark which was
used in their medicines. In those days most of the medicines and
cures were learned from the Indians. He would make his calls in a
wagon with a team of horses. If he had to make a long call,
sometimes maybe 15 or 20 miles he would just saddle a horse and
cut through fields to go the shortest way. If the person was real
sick, he would just stay at their house, maybe two or three days
or a week if necessary until the person was better and on the way
to recovery. When he went on horseback he had a special saddle bag
which fit over the horse to keep all his medicine and instruments
in. Sometimes he would have to hide in the woods from quarrelsom
Indians or Marauders, but most of the time the worst trouble he
would have was bad weather-with rivers and streams out of their
banks."
