She was awarded the divorce and custody of their only child, Isaac and Joseph and Patsey BAILEY HOGAN in August 1818. He accused her of adulty and presented the following witnesses: Alexander JAMESON, Edward CROUSH and Adam .Payne. The divorce was granted. Rev. Adam Payne: mostly from Robert Barnes He lived for many years in Walker's Grove,( now called Plainfield?) Du Page Co. (?), IL. He served in the war of 1812 as a soldier in the Volunteer Militia, Territory of IL. He was with Capt. Nelson Rector at St. Louis. He was described as an eccentric preacher, and was preaching at Fort Wayne, IN in 1831. His listeners included Johnny Appleseed (John Chapman). At the time, he was living near his Uncle (?brother-in-law), John Dawson, in Dearborn, IN (?or was he in IL by this time). He was an early victim of the Black Hawk War: he was robbed and beheaded. It was reported that his head was displayed on a pole. Other sources say that his head was never found. Prior to his death, he had been a traveling Preacher among the Indians. He "promised hell and damnation if they should take to the warpath." Albany, NY, from a story about a Mr. Pierson: "characterized by a strong devotional spirit" became acquainted with the "notorious" Robert Matthews or Matthias - "his beard had now obtained a respectable length, and thus he attracted attention, and easily obtained an audience in the streets. For this he was sometimes arrested, once by mistake for Adam Paine, who collected the crowd, and then left Matthias with it on the approach of the officers" ... which Adam is this?

The 1879 Old Settlers Reunion Taken From the Henry Republican August 28, 1879 Old Settlers Their Meeting at Lacon Last Week The Oration by Perry Armstrong of Grundy County Short Talks by a Number of Pioneers An Immense Throng and Glorious Time. RELIGION We had no churches or church choirs or organs in those days, yet we had pure and undefiled religion with simple but effective religious services in our humble little cabins. Our pioneer preachers were men of slender education, yet they were wonderfully effective in their modes of preaching Christ and him crucified. Among the earliest of our preachers was the lisping yet trumpet-tongued Aaron Payne, and his more accomplished brother, Adam; then came the earnest, faithful and persevering Methodist preachers, Stephen Beggs and William Royal. Poor Adam Payne fell a martyr to his faith in the protecting had of God by venturing too far from the fort in the Black Hawk war in 1832, and his beautiful long black hair dangled from the scalp belt of one of Black Hawk's band of murderers. The heroic Aaron immediately volunteered as a private to avenge the death of his brother, and although fearless in his bravery and reckless of his personal safety, he survived through many a severe encounter and came home covered with scars, with the full assurance that Adam's treacherous death had been terribly avenged. Shortly after the Black Hawk war he moved to what was then the territory of Oregon, and was still living there a short time since, although nearly 90 years of age. His compeers and co-laborers, Royal and Beggs, are also living - the former in Oregon, and the latter at Plainfield, Ill. Posted on the internet: IL Black Hawk war Other Attacks Shortly after the attack on the Davis Settlement, Adam Payne, sometimes refered to as the Dunkard Preacher after the pacifist denomination, left Fort Beggs near today?s Plainfield and headed to the Ottawa fort. Payne had family there who sought to protect themselves from raiding Indian parties. As he passed through LaSalle County, he was spotted by a band of Indians who pursued him for several miles. When he approached an area about three miles northeast of present Marseilles, the Indians caught and killed him. His body was not found until sometime the following month. A Dorothea McClure married an Adam Paine in St. Clair Co., IL on May 2, 1816 (or is this date of marriage license). She may be the wife of our Adam. However, there is an Adams Paine in the area as well - is he the one who married Dorothea? Judy Kuster has Dorothea married to our Adam. Dayton Selby sent me the congressional record of Dorothea's request for her husband's pension (as he was in the war of 1812). Clearly, he spelled his name Adams Payne. Also, it says that he died in 1835. Therefore, I believe that she was not our Adam Payne's wife. Posted on the Internet: TNLINCOL Village Messenger, 1823-1828 (Fayetteville TN Newspaper) from The Village Messenger, Fayetteville, Tennessee, Vol. I, Number III, March 25, 1823: Agreeably to appointment made two years since, we are authorized to say that Adam PAINE will preach in the Court House in this place, on Saturday next. from The Village Messenger, Fayetteville, Tennessee, Vol. 3, No. 3, May 17, 1826: In "The History of Kendall County" around the time of the Blackhawk War, there is a reference to the slaying of "Mr. Payne, a dunkard preacher, while attempting to reach his family at Ottawa,..." on P. 12. On p. 88, "The next murder, while the Indians were camped, or secreted, at Holderman's, was that of Adam Payne, the missionary. He was a large, portly man, with a black beard that hung to his waist, and was well known, having preached about through the western settlements for years. He had been to Ohio, and on his return stopped in Chicago a few days to preach. The commander at Fort Dearborn, at the same time, was pressing horses to mount a company of rangers, and Payne, who had a splendid horse, in order to save it, decided to go to Hennepin, below Ottawa, where his brother Aaron lived. The morning he left he preached his last sermon, at the northern end of the military parade ground, corner of South Water street and Michigan Avenue. His sermon was two hours long, but he held his audience of traders, soldiers, citizens and Indians, spell-bound to the close, as he pressed upon them the reality of eternal things. When he came to Plainfield to put up for the night, he found the people in a state of great excitement over the news of the Indian Creek massacre. They imagined that the country was being over-run by an army of savages, who would not spare a soul alive, and that the woods all around were full of them. Besides this, the stockade there was too small to accommodate the multitude, so that it had been decided to break up and go to Chicago. They were to start the next morning after Payne's arrival, and tried to prevail on him to go with them, but he would not. He wished to see his family, and believed that his profession and his acqquaintance with the Indians, and, if it came to the worst, the fleetness of his splendid bay mare, would carry him through safely. So, in the morning, Plainfield was deserted__the settlers going eastward and Payne going west. He rode on without being molested until he passed Holderman's Grove, when there was a sudden report of guns, and a bullet pierced his shoulder, and another struck his horse. The Indians probably saw him from their hiding-place. They used to cut bushes and make a little barricade by the road, where they watched for travelers. One such hiding-place was found in a tree at the north-west corner of Kellogg's Grove, where they could overlook all the surrounding country. Payne immediately put his horse on the run, and out-stripped the savages, who would probably have given up the chase but for the fact that they knew he was wounded. Across the country they went like the wind, pursuer and pursued. Across the slough and up the next rise of ground west of Holderman's the fugitive urged his panting steed, but the race was nearly over. A little beyond the grove the horse dropped from exhaustion and loss of blood, and Payne deciding that his best course was to bravely stand his ground, waited until the Indians came up, and with his Bible in one hand and the other pointing heavenward, he appealed for mercy. Two of the three Indians were moved at this, but the third struck him on the head from behind, and he expired in a few moments. His head was placed on a pole, and at night the whole band assembled, laden with spoils from the houses of the settlers, and held a wild war dance around the spot where their victim fell. The body was found a few days afterwards by a company of rangers, or volunteer cavalry, and buried. The scalp was stuck up on a ramrod, with fifteen or sixteen little sticks around it, indicating the number they had taken. It was as large as the palm of a man's hand, and as thick as a little finger. It was probably left by the Indians through the belief that ill-luck would attend them by having the scalp of a man of God. Another Story, or Indian tradition, says that Gurty had once been Payne's interpreter, and when he recognized the body, after the dance was over, he was filled with remorse, and having buried it he burnt his most valuable articles over the grave to appease the Great Spirit. If that is true, the remains of Adam Payne sleep to-day not far from the south-west corner of Big Grove township, and the body found was that of a Dunker preacher who was also missed about the same time. As the Indians themselves gave this account, there is so far an air of great probability about it. Mr. Cummins was Payne's step-son and Mrs. Payne and her family went down with him and the Holdermans to a prairie camp in Putnam county. She never received any of her husband's effects, though she lived for a long time in the hope that she should. The following, from Vetal Vermet, who lived here at the time, corroborates the main features of the story, while differing in some minor parts. He says: 'Rev. Mr. Payne lived at Holderman's Grove at the time of the Indian war. Just before it commenced he had to go to Chicago on business, and when he returned found his family and the other settlers gone. He resumed his journey, but coming across some Indians hid in the grove, they chased him about seven miles in a southern direction, when they shot him, and he fell from his horse some time after he was killed. There we found and buried him, but his head we never found.'..." Posted on the Internet: History of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches The Brethren Church began with a very small group of people who wanted to be Bible believing Christians who would follow the Scriptures in simple faith and obedience. The protestant reformation of the 1500-1600's inspired by Martin Luther, John Calvin and others started the ball rolling. The Bible once again was given its rightful place. Biblical doctrines and good theology were taught. But barren orthodoxy and cold indifference to dynamic Christian living left many with much to be desired. The church was not relevant to ordinary life and simple faith obedience to the moral precepts of the Bible. It tolerated evil. Some people wanted to go a step further. Alexander Mack was one. Having studied carefully the commands of the New Testament together, Mack and his few followers (5 men and 3 women) began a new fellowship of believers in Schwarzenau, Germany. Their attitude of obedience to the Bible was demonstrated in a triune baptismal service in the Eider River in 1708. From that humble beginning the Brethren Church grew--not perfectly--not fantastically--but steadily and solidly. In 7 years several congregations were established in Germany. But by 1719, because of opposition, the majority of "The Brethren" moved westward to America under the leadership of Peter Becker, many living in the area of Germantown, Pa. From this humble beginning the Brethren Church started. Through many trials and a few divisions the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches has emerged to what it is today. A study of the Tunker Fraternity Church and the dates, names and places on the following list, and a reading of CE National's readable "What Is a GBC?" will help you get a birds-eye view of our history. For full details we suggest you read Dr. Homer A. Kent, Sr.'s book, Conquering Frontiers. Names, Dates and Places to remember: 1708 - Eight people, under the leadership of Alexander Mack baptized in the Eider River by Triune immersion at Schwarzenau, Germany. They declared they were returning to the New Testament more fully than Martin Luther and the other Reformers. 1719 - The people of the Brethren Church came to America. Peter Becker was their leader. Most of them settled and lived near Germantown, Pa. 1723 - On Christmas Day the American group baptized some others and began the first official church in America. Becker was the pastor. 1728 - The Ephrata, Pa. break off movement was started by Conrad Biessel. He led a group into a type of cloister life, trying to get people to stay away from the world via hyper-separatism, non-marriage and austere living. The whole thing failed, but the cloister with buildings can still be seen in Ephrata, Pa. 1729 - A second group of Brethren sailed to America. Alexander Mack was their leader and he became the pastor of the group in Germantown. 1742 - The first Annual Conference of the church in America met. 1743 - Christopher Sower, a printer, prepared and produced the first Bible printed in America. It was printed in German. He also printed other helpful literature. 1836 - At an annual meeting, "The Brethren" unanimously adopted the name "Fraternity of German Baptist." By now the church had lost a lot of its original evangelistic fervor. Some still carried the churches aggressive spirit. Among them were George Wolfe, leader of the Far Western Brethren in Illinois, and Adam Paine who had a real burden for the Indians. From Brethren Life, the Frontier Journal posted on the Internet: Written by Merle C. Rummel - Published 1999: gives a timeline of the establishment of the church in America.

Daily Sentinel Fort Wayne, Ind Monday, Oct. 23 Johnny Appleseed (concluded) Mr. Haley has well described his personal appearance, his sharp voiuce, etc., and those who knew him here will know him b that description. But his garb was not always alike, and some have seen him in other garbs and under other circumstances than those noted by Mr. Haley, so that some would describe him in one way and some another. He very rarely ate at table with others, and never slept in a bed. He preferred to lie on the floor of a tavern or private house__always laid in the bar-room of a hotel, when stopping there, and, when necessary, kept fire during the night. Exceedingly penurious, he complained of tavern charges and thought a sixpence quite enough for a meal. At stated times he would work, often coming to this place at the season of corn gathering and hiring to do that work. Capt. James Barnett, deceased, used to say that Johnny Appleseed was the best hand he hired to husk corn; and always gave the old pioneer a place to stay when he desired. This is no invidious mention, for there were many others who used to give him a place. John Rogers, Esq., now living and an octogenarian, Absalom Halcomb, now deceased, and others. He was regarded as a temperate man, and so he was, but occasionally he would take a dram of spirits to keep him a little warem, as he said. He did not believe in marriage on earth, but held that he was raising a girl to be his spiritual wife in the New Jerusalem, to gain which all his life was a sacrifice. On one occasion a gentleman now living, with whom he often lodged and ate, and who had a little daughter whom the old man fancied was asked by ole man if he would give him the child for his spiritual wife and on thoughtlessly giving him his consent, Johnny regarded the bargain as sacred and treated the child thereafter with much care. This, however, was interrupted by an accident. A neighbor's children came over to see this child and others of the family, when the father told a little boy to kiss Johnny's girl, which he did in Johnny's presence. This was considered by Johnny as a violation of faith plighted by the father, and in anger declined to further care for his spiritual wife. The name of this boy I withhold, less a very worthy gentleman, long my friend, and high in the esteem of the people of this county might be the subject of a joke. He is a husband and father now, and perhaps in no other instance has ever parted a man and wife, and this unconsciously. Our hero may be considered as insane by those who never knew him, but while this was not true, his fanaticism made him a religious monomaniac. I have seen him under many circumstances at public meetins, in private talks, in courts of justice, and at religious meetings, and never heard a disorderly word fall from his lips. In the year 1841, at a camp meeting, the first, perhaps, ever held by the methodists in this county__it was on the site of Lindenwood Cemetery, near a spring of wter, on the north side,__I saw him lying on the ground, near a large tree in good hearing of the pulpit; and I now have a vivid recollection of the earnest attention he gave to the eloquent words of the clergyman, who discoursed of that New Jerusalem, which our hero hoped to reach, and there carry on his now earthly occupation among the sacramental hosts around the throne of God. The wood-cut in Harper which represents a well-fed and dressed preacher somewhere in Ohio discoursing eloquently against extravagance of dress, &c., and where Johnny Appleseed went forward and amazed the divine by presenting himself as "a primitive Christian," dressed in coffee-sack and barefoor,__I say this represents a scene which actually transpired, and is confirmed by an incident which occurred at this place a little pater. A certain Adam Payne, who was also an eccentric man, but in a different way, a preacher of a very illiterate kind, who wanted to appear a second Lorenzo Dow, in 1830 came to this city, and standing on a box on the northeast corner of Clinton and Columbia streets, announced himself thus: "Hear ye! hear ye! I am now about to scold the devil." Having finished his scold Johnny Appleseed, being present, went forward and asked Mr. Payne if he recollected "the primitive Christian" which he had before seen in Mansfield, Ohio. Payne at once recognized him. Now, if this Rev. Adam Payne were the veritable itinerant missionary who appeared in Ohio and preached in Mansfield to an aopen-air congregation, as Mr. Haley has it. He certainly gives the picture too much color when he calls him the "well-clothed missionary," for Adam Payne was as poor as Johnny Applesee, of very plain dress, and wore long hair and a long bears; and, aside from tattered apparel, would have mated Johnny Appleseed very well. Mr. Haley states the incident of Appleseed comforting the "itinerant missionary" toward the latter part of Johnny's career in Ohio; and this is confirmed by the incident of recognition related above as taking place at Fort Wayne, in the year 1830. Right here a circumstance comes just in play to fix with some accuracy the time of Johnny's advent to this region. Adam Payne was a very near neighbor of my father__in fact the parents of Payne lived on our farm as early as 1916, in the county of Dearborn, Indiana, while the Indians were still numerous. He was given to eccentricities, and was an itinerant preacher, wore long beard and long hair, and some later than the period named, but before my memory, he and his parents emigrated to the wilds of western Illinois, and but little was heard from him for many years till one summer day in the year 1831, a steamboat landed at the wharf at Lawrenceburgy, on the Ohio River, and put off an aged coupld and their scanty effects. I was then residing there with my brother-in-law, Col. Spencer, who at once recognized them as Mr. and Mrs. Payne, Sr. They were taken to my father's house in the county, where they were kept over a year, and then removed to the county asylum, where they died. From these old people it was ascertained that Adam Payne, their son, had been killed by the Indians, and his head severed from his body, and carried on a pole as a trophy. Those who may read this, and who are of forty-five years of age, will recollect what ravages were committed on western settlers by the Indians before the Black Hawk was of 1832. It was these depredations, and the loss of theif son Adam, which caused these aged pilgrims to return to Dearborn county to die. Adam Payne was here in 1830, and is known to have been killed by the Indians, and his body treated as above described, somewhere in the northern part of this State, woon after his visit here. I have introduced this incident to give accuracy to the date of Appleseed's advent into the Maumee Valley; and this incident of Adam Payne's and Appleseed's meeting here to support the supposition that Payne was the identical itenerant missionary of whom Mr. Haley writes in Harper. If these circumstances do not fix it, the date then perhaps is lost. Still it is only essential as a bit of local history. For all that related to our hero in Ohio, and the relation of a beautiful story in elegant diction, refer the reader to Harper's Monthly for March, 1871. Now to the close of Appleseed's life. Mr. Haley gives obituary thus: ... John W. Dawson Spy Run Avenue, Oct. 20, 1871. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mikki9&id=I004269	Payne, Adam (I49544)

William Blackburn would have been 76 at the birth of Edward - though not impossible, enough to question. He would be a contemporary of Archibald and quite possibly another line entirely as he is from England and Archibald is believed to be Irish. Also, (from Vicki Piper via email 27 Sep 2011) "DNA testing has established a common ancestor between ... a descendant of Benjamin and Mary Blackburn and a descendant of James B. and Jane Rankin Blackburn......" my response: "Benjamin Blackburn - do you mean Immigrant b 1718?

1043	"JOSEPH MOLER, www.usgenweb.com One of the well known residents of Clinton township is Joseph Moler, who was born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, June 2, 1834. In 1853 he came to Indiana and has since made this state his place of abode. He is the son of John and Sarah (Colliver) Moler, the former born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in the same vicinity as his son, Joseph. His parents were Pennsylvania Dutch who came to Kentucky about 1790, his father, Joseph Moler, having been a soldier in the Revolutionary war. In 1853 John Moler and family came to Putnam county, Indiana, locating in Clinton township on the land where Joseph Moler now resides. It was then only partly cleared and had a few rude buildings on it, and here the elder Moler lived, and died on November 3, 1866, at the age of sixty-one years, having been born November 30, 1805. His wife died in 1856, at the age of forty-seven years. She was born in Montgomery county, Indiana, in 1809. Only one of their children was born in Indiana those to reach maturity were: Marr, who married Russell Allen, of Greencastle, and died in that city in 1873 or 1874; Joseph, of this review; Richard H., a farmer in Parke county, Indiana: Jeff. T., who lives in Louisiana, Missouri; Susan E., who married R. D. Hamilton and died when in middle life; Levi, who went to Missouri, where he died; Jemima, the wife of Mr. Hannah and living in Missouri; Presley C., a bachelor and still living on the old homestead; Emma J., who married Caleb Bratton, of Boone county, Indiana. Joseph Moler was nineteen years old when he came to Indiana. He remained at home until he was twenty-five pears old, assisting in clearing the place. On November 1, 1859, he married Lucy P. Newgent, he being twenty-five and she eighteen; they had lived on adjoining farms for some time. A sketch of her father, Edward Newgent, appears elsewhere in this volume. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Moler spent two years in Pulaski county, Indiana, then moved back to Putnam county on the farm of Mr. Moler's father, taking charge of part of it. In 1868 he rented and took charge of the entire farm of two hundred and forty acres. Later he bought the interests of others in the home place, owning eighty acres. He has made extensive improvements on his place, building a fine home in 1891, and he has good barns and devotes considerable time to stock raising, making grains also a specialty, feeding what grain the place produces. He has laid two hundred and fifty rods of tile. He is very successful as a general farmer. Mr. Moler is an independent thinker and keeps well posted on political and current events. He is no partisan and always votes for the men whom he deems to be the best qualified for the offices sought. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Moler, one of whom died when ten years of age. Levi Shelby Moler is a farmer in Clinton township, he was candidate for nomination as county clerk in 1910. Stella May married J. S. Brown, a farmer of Woonsocket, South Dakota. On November 1, 1909, was celebrated Mr. and Mrs. Moler's fiftieth wedding anniversary, which was quite an event in the Moler family and greatly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present. The only anniversary guest who was also present at their marriage was John Newgent, cousin of Mrs. Moler, he having enjoyed the celebration after a half century lapse from the nuptial day almost as much as the elder1y couple themselves. Rev. Joseph Skeeters, now deceased, performed the marriage ceremony. Fraternally Mr. Moler is a Mason and he takes a great interest in Masonry, endeavoring to live up to its wholesome teachings in his every day life.

Lawrence and Cassandra went to Shelter Island, Long Island Sound, having been banished under pain of death from Massachusetts in 1659. They died there in Spring of 1660 from privation and exposure, Cassandra dying just 3 days after Lawrence. Their son, Josiah, went to Rhode Island, and established a home for himself and family. He went back to Salem in 1660 to look after his parents' property and found it in very poor condition. He was whipped by the Puritans for returning to Massachusetts. It seems incredible that any followers of Christ could have so belied their professions, but it was an illustration of the saying of Robert Pollock, in regard to the hypocrite, "Who stole the livery of the Court of Heaven To serve the Devil in." Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier immortalized the persecution and banishment of Lawrence and Cassandra in his poem, Cassandra Southwick." John Greenleaf Whittier wrote CASSANDRA SOUTHWICK aka The Ballad of Cassandra Southwick. For some reason Whittier chose to used the name of Provided?s mother rather than Provided?s name itself. The following precedes the ballad which is printed in the Caller & Ober book on pgs. 79-83.) This ballad, by John Greenleaf Whittier, has its foundation upon a somewhat remarkable event in the history of Puritan intolerance. Two young persons, son Daniel and daughter Provided of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, of Salem, who had himself been imprisoned and deprived of all his property for having entertained two Quakers at his house, were fined ten pounds each for non-attendance at church, which they were unable to pay. The case being represented to the General Court, at Boston, that body issued an order, which may still be seen on the court records, bearing the signature of Edward Rawson, Secretary, by which the Treasurer of the County was "fully enpowered to sell the said persons to any of the English nation at Virginia or Barbadoes, to answer said fines".

1055	"Life and Times of Henry Burt of Springfield," Henry M. Burt and Silas W. Burt, 1893, pg 236 It is no longer believed that she is daughter of Deacon Samuel because there was no mention of her or her children in either Samuel or Margaret's wills, nothing in her records indicating her parentage. With no records, it's anybody's guess, but here's the logic both for and against: http://www.family2remember.com/famtree/b565.htm (snip) In these wills (of Samuel and Margaret), the Deacon makes mention of each of his children, Samuel, Margaret, Hester, Lydia, Mary, James and Judah. Margaret, his wife, does much the same in her will mentioning also Hester's husband, Samuel Marshfield, and son James' daughter, Helped, to whom she bequeathed her bed. What is notable about these two wills is that neither the Deacon nor Margaret mention anything about Benjamin Wright or Hannah (Wright) Stebbins of Springfield who have been often assigned by previous researchers as his eldest children. What I think is most important is that there is no mention made of any of the children of Benjamin or Hannah (Wright) Stebbins, either. It is true that Hannah had died in 1661, prior to the Deacon (1665), and might not have been mentioned in his will (prepared 1663) for that reason. But Hannah's children were alive and husband, Thomas Stebbins, did not remarry until 7 years after the Deacon's death. So, if the Deacon was so diligent in bequeathing to each of his other children, and since he would have known at the time of making his will in 1663 that Hannah was dead, he would have known he had to make provisions for Hannah's portion to go to her children. Therefore, I think it is certain he would have named them in his will if they were his grandchildren. On the basis that neither he nor Margaret mention these potential grandchildren in their wills, I believe Benjamin and Hannah were not his children. Nevertheless, Benjamin and Hannah have often been assigned as the eldest children of the Deacon, and thought I do not believe this is the case, I do believe they may have been niece and nephew to the Deacon or some other relation. Certainly I believe they were some member of the large Wright clan to which the Deacon belonged (originating from Sir John Wright of Kelvedon Hatch, Co. Essex, England). (apparently DNA has challenged this) To belabor this a little further, a second line of evidence focuses on Hannah in particular. The Deacon and Hannah's husband, Lt. Thomas Stebbins, were involved with each other as trusted friends (see again, Pynchon Court Records in "Families of the Pioneer Valley," Regional Publications, West Springfield, MA 2000). For instance, on 24 March 1654/55 Thomas Stebbins joined with the Deacon in providing a most personal and embarrassing bond to the Pynchon court in Springfield (in the matter of the illegitimate child the Deacon's son, Samuel Wright Jr., fathered upon his own sister-in-law, Mary Burt). This would have been a matter only very close friends would have joined together on. It has been used to indicate that Thomas was actually so close he was the son-in-law of the Deacon. So if the Deacon held the Stebbins family so close in his heart, why does he not bequeath something to these supposed grandchildren? There does not appear to have been any falling out between the Wrights and Stebbins. As late as 1659 the Deacon (or his son, we can't tell which) are arm in arm with Thomas' brother, John Stebbins, in a lawsuit against the town of Northampton. So there is not doubt the Wrights and Stebbins were close for a very long time. The question is, with this sort of close ties between the Deacon's family and the Stebbins family, had Hannah been the Deacon's daughter, her children would have almost certainly been mentioned in the Deacon's will, as being the recipients of her portion of his estate. Yet, they are not mentioned. ______________________ note by ss: Because Thomas Stebbins co-bonded with Samuel Sr. that Samuel Jr would care for his illegitimate child indicates some close connection. Also, Hannah named her firstborn Samuel Wright Stebbins. It seems to me to be a bit hasty to exclude her as a potential daughter because of lack of mention in the wills. My consideration in this is that in looking closely at Margaret's will, it seems to be mostly a carry-through of Samuel's more so than her own. However, Judah was mentioned in Samuel's and not in Margaret's, and he was still living. Samuel Jr. predeceased his mother, but his children were not provided for by her. So, not inconsistent that IF Hannah had been a deceased daughter, that she or her children would be mentioned in Margaret's will. On the other hand, Samuel's will, since he was so close to Thomas Stebbins, assuming for just a moment Hannah was indeed his daughter, is it possible that when Hannah died, 3 yrs before Samuel even wrote his will, he chose to settle with his widowered son-in-law to provide for his grandchildren at that time, thus their absence of mention in his will. It appears she died from complication of the birth of twins. That, along with leaving other small children with no mother, was a very sad situation and emotions would have been running high. Not knowing Thomas' financial situation, perhaps he could have used the help of receiving her share from Samuel's inheritance early to provide for these motherless children. Also, Thomas did get them raised before he married again, which was unusual as the men usually found another mother pretty soon. Which makes me wonder if maybe Samuel helped out all along rather than in one lump sum and considered it a tradeoff for Hannah's share. That makes even more sense. But unfortunately, unless there were some record of transfer of funds or property to Thomas Stebbins around that time period, this could never be anything but sheer speculation. But, nevertheless, Hannah is undoubtedly from the same family line, whether she be a cousin or a niece or a sister or a child -- her lineage would be the same, at least on her paternal side. ss	Wright, Hannah* (daughter?)

By deed dated 10 JUN 1650 Robert, with the consent of his wife, Elizabeth, "in consideration of their son Andrew living with them until the time of his marriage as a faithful and obedient child, "gave him, as a child's portion, a house and house-lot, six acres, more or less, with the enclosure adjoining to the north end of it, the whole being bounded, easterly, by land of Hugh Burt and the Rocky Hill of Andrew Mansfield; westerly, by the house lot Thomas Townsend and the street; north by the County Highway (now Boston Street); and south, by the town highway; besides other property in various parts of Lynn. Andrew was very active in Town affairs. He was made freeman 8 July 1645. He was a selectman, was on committees for laying out roads and settling land disputes. He served as trial juror and on Grand Jury 1650-1677. He was called "sergeant" from 15 March 1663. This showed the confidence which the people had for his legal ability. "There are many letters on file in the clerk of the courts office of Essex County in his clear legiable handwriting showing his ability and that the esteem in which he was held was well merited. He was deputy to the General Court from l880-1883 [sic] inclusive. By reference to the Court records it wilt be seen that he was entrusted by that body with important commissions." (Moulton). Andrew was married three times; 1st about 1850 to BETHIAH who died 2 July 1672. Bethiah's maiden name may have been Gedney (Lynn Hist. Register 1913) or Townsend (Warner-Harrington Genealogy). He married second 4 June 1673, MRS. MARY NEAL, widow of John Neal and only child Of Francis Lawes, a wealthy citizen of Salem. She died 27 June 1681. He married third, 10 Jan. 1661-82, MRS.

Andrew lived in Beverly for a time after he married Elizabeth Conant. . Andrew's will was dated 1 June 1679, with a codicil dated at Boston 19 Nov. 1683. It seems that while attending the General Court he was taken suddenly and seriously ill, as the codicl was witnessed by members of the court then in session.

On 30 Nov. 1062, before the court at lpswich, in the case of Brown vs. Laughton, Andrew stated (Quarterly Courts of Essex Co., Vol. VIII' pp.25e-257)that "about 43 years since (1639), he and his brother John bought of Mr. Manton, so called, a little house and house-lot and planting lot belonging to it in Lynn, and that the next summer their father, Robert. came into the country and they surrendered it up to him." It seems probable that Andrew and John came to Boston as early as 1636. . Where the Robert Mansfield family came from in England is not clear. They are said to have come from Exeter, Devonshire (Ms. Genealogy # 166, The Mansfield Family, in the Lynn Historical Society library.- Lewis and Newhall, p.187; Dr. Joseph Mansfield genealogy Ms, and manuscript of Charles F. Mansfield and Charles E. Lord, The Ancestors and Descendants of Lt. Tobias Lord, 1913, p. 191). Other Sources say that they probably came from Norfolk County. Moulton says "investigations In England by C, H, Townsend Esq. of New Haven tend to show they came from Norfolk County whence came many of the early settlers of Lynn" also in manuscripts by Helen Mansfield, and Helen Lawton and Chandler's History of New Ipswich, N.H. It has not been possible to find any documentary evidence for either Exeter or Norfolk County. . Robert Mansfield's name appears in many court and town records. His mark is found in Suffolk Deeds, Vol.II, p.266, dated 8 JAN 1665. On 9 JUL 1644 he was suued by one John Poole, :for taking away his arms" (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, I:64). On 5 JUL 1646, Robert was freed from paying a fine for not training, because of age (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, I:192). On 31 AUG 1647 Robert was sworn constable of Lynn (Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., VII, p.18). On 20 MAY 1650 (Essex Deeds, Vol.I, pp. 17 & 31) he bought four acres of salt marsh in Lynn from Samuel Bennett. . By deed dated 10 JUN 1650 Robert, with the consent of his wife, Elizabeth, "in consideration of their son Andrew living with them until the time of his marriage as a faithful and obedient child, "gave him, as a child's portion, a house and house-lot, six acres, more or less, with the enclosure adjoining to the north end of it, the whole being bounded, easterly, by land of Hugh Burt and the Rocky Hill of Andrew Mansfield; westerly, by the house lot Thomas Townsend and the street; north by the County Highway (now Boston Street); and south, by the town highway; besides other property in various parts of Lynn. . Robert did grand jury duty at Salem Court in June, 1654 (Quarterly Courts of Essex County III: 402-403) . On 20 JAN 1659 Robert and his son John bought of John Dekin a house, barn, orchard and one-half acre of land, which property Robert and Elizabeth, and John and his wife Mary sold to Benjamin Brisco of Boston, on 6 MAR 1659/60. (Essex Deeds Vol.2, pp.62,76). By the deed of 20 JAN 1659 Robert also bought three acres of land in Ramsdell's Neck, and ten acres which had been given to Dekin by the town of Lynn. . Robert's will (Probate Records of Essex Co., Mass., Vol II, pp.78-79), was dated 3 AUG 1664 and was proved in Ipswich Court, 26 MAR 1667. The inventory of his estate was attested in the same court, 30 APR 1667, by his son, John.	Mansfield, Robert* (immigrant) (I96579)

1091	"Not everyone in the Beaumont area was sympathetic to Confederate cause, James Gilbert Taylor and his wife Elvira Chase, was a New York Mariner who bought land on Taylor's Bayou and became captain of the schooner Glide, freighting molasses and hides from beaumont to Galveston. He knew all the twists and turns of local waterways. When the Civil War began, torn by conflict of loyalties, he nevertheless became the pilot for a Union blockage boat seeking to strangle the movement of ships from southern ports like Sabine Pass. Locals saw Taylor as a traitor, and $10,000 Confederate bounty was offered for his arrest. His son, Walter, joined the Confederacy in Spaight's Battalion. Taylor piloted the Clifton into Sabine Pass on Sept 8, 1863, only to meet the deadly artillery fire of Dick Dowling's Davis Guards. Its tiller rope severed, the Clifton ran aground and was captured. A fellow defector, Clay Smith of Orange, pilot of the Sachem, suffered a similar fate. Taylor is thought to have escaped to the Union gunboat Arizona, which picked up a few survivors and then fled to open sea. Taylor died under unknown circumstances in 1864. A number of his descendants live in Beaumont and the Taylor's Bayou area." http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dlacp&id=I55	Taylor, James Gilbert (I21594)
1092	"Of the Breckenridge immigrants, Jane Preston carried the Cromwell ancestry. Said to be of the same Prestons that spawned the Valleyfield Preston baronetcy in Perthshire, Scotland, Jane's branch of the family had been in Ireland since at least 1672, when her father, Archibald (or Phineas) Preston was born in the Ardsallagh Townlands below the sacred Hill of Tara. Archibald would find his wife in the daughter of the recently deceased Viscount of Montjoy (one of 8,000 killed at Steenkerke), Mary Stewart, the product of Protestant Ulster landowners firmly affixed in County Tyrone. After Jane's birth, the couple spent a good 11 years together farming in Ulster until he died in 1703. Three years later, the widowed Mary would wed again, this time to the eligible future admiral Viscount of Granard, then a ship captain assigned to the Baltic Sea. Jane, as eldest child, went through her teen years awaiting news of the success of her stepfather before finally meeting George Breckenridge and marrying in 1714, just three years before the great drought first set in."

1099	"On the surface, this is an improbable rags-to-riches story, but Elizabeth's circumstances were such that John's chances with her were much improved. For Elizabeth Stout had had a child out of wedlock in 1705 at age 14. The father of her child was James Hyde. The more specific recitation of the story comes from Stillwell's 'Historical Miscellany of New Jersey': 1705: The Grand Jury of Monmouth Co, N.J. present Elizabeth, daughter of James Stout, of Middleton, for a bastard child by James Hid, late of Middleton. She was fined 5lb and costs, or to be whipped ten lashes on her bare back. The fine was paid by her father, James Stout." Elizabeth had left town during her pregnancy, for her child, Sarah, was born in Hopewell, a town of southern Hunterdon County near Trenton (now part of Mercer County). Elizabeth and her beau never marrid and this was the source of the civil penalty that was imposed after the child was born. It it is not clear what happened to Hyde as a result of this affair, though he probably went to Hunterdon County around the same time as Elizabeth and didn't return to take the punishment that the town would have dealth him. He lived in Hunterdon County until his death in 1775. Whether he ever married is unknown. The stigma attached to Elizabeth took her out of the market for a "goo" husband and left the door open for such a low-born youth as John Warford. She and John married in Middleton in 1708 and their first child, Job, was born the next year. It certainly looks as if, even though Warford wasn't of the proper station to court respectable Stout women, he was fit enough to rescue young (and impetuous?) Elizabeth from the taint of her indiscretion. Whether daughter Sarah was raised by Elizabeth and John, by James Hyde, or by another family is also not known, but the child did all right in the end, marrying Aaron Runyan of Hunterdon County in 1734 and going on to raise a large family of her own in the Hopewell area. The couple spent several years in Monmouth Cuonty, probably living with her parents, before John Warford purchased land in Freehold (probably a town lot) from his in-laws, James and Elizabeth Stout in 1714. He sold this in 1717 to Daniel Clayton. Where they lived after that is unclear, but the young couple went on to have a total of ten children: four boys and six girls. Daughter Jane, who was to marry William Allen, was born 1725. The family moved to Hunterdon County in 1729, joining a growing group of Baptist families heading westward from the Monmouth area. pgs 165-166 "Reconstructing William Allen 1711-1799 including a social history of the Scots-Irish" by Douglas Allen c2010 Warford and Stout Families https://books.google.com/books?id=X59BAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA166&lpg=PA166&dq=james+hyde+elizabeth+stout&source=bl&ots=jQNNvezCDH&sig=-ppGMyc6tZvEyvQasEawX1HGjeY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBWoVChMIpeS_4vmcyAIVzZuICh1ANQ2n#v=onepage&q=james%20hyde%20elizabeth%20stout&f=false	Family: John Warford, Jr. / Elizabeth Stout (F28332)
