Rev. Wilson did have a daughter named Mary, but she was born in a different year, and married Rev. Samuel Danforth.
In an article published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, January 2001, the authors list Mary Wilson, daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Mansfield Wilson, as follows: "Mary Wilson, b. in Boston 12 September 1633 and bp there 15 September 1633; married in 1651 Rev. Samuel Danforth, (2) Joseph Rock." No mention of Thomas Bray. Also, in Douglas Richardson's "Royal ," he states: "They [Elizabeth Mansfield and Rev. John Wilson] had two daughters, Elizabeth (wife of Ezekiel Rogers) and Mary (wife of Rev. Samuel Danforth and Joseph Rock)."

4157 Mary, the wife of Cornet Joseph Parsons, was the daughter of Thomas Bliss, of Hartford, Conn., a s/o Thomas Bliss, of Belstone Parish, Devonshire, England. She was born in Eng­land in 1620 and came to this country with her parents. The Bliss family soon became prominent in the Connecticut Valley, and has ever since been honorably known in the history of the country. In 1656, and soon after the removal of the Parsons family from Springfield to Northampton, Joseph Parsons brought an action for slander against Sarah Bridgman, the wife of James Bridgman, charging that Sarah had accused Mary, his wife, of being a witch. The record of this notable case will be found at considerable length in Trumbull's History of Northampton, Vol. I, pp. 43-50; also on pages 228-234, copied from the original record now on file in Boston. I will give only its substance.
Several Springfield families, including the Bridgmans, had set­tled in Northampton. It seems that Mary Parsons' strong per­sonality had aroused enmity in Springfield, which followed her to Northampton, and neighborhood gossip did the rest and she was accused of being a witch. Margaret Bliss, the mother of Mary Parsons, hearing these stories lost no time in interviewing the author of these stories.
"Goodwife Bridgman was equal to the occasion and told her to her face that she did hear that her daughter was suspected to be a witch." Exasperated by this slanderous gossip, Joseph Par­sons brought this action to defend the reputation of his wife. The belief in witchcraft was common at that time and the charge involved an unholy partnership with the devil. We, of the 20th Century, find it difficult to appreciate the situation as it existed 250 years ago, but the trials, persecutions, and punishments for witchcraft which took place in Massachusetts, a few years later, are the darkest blots upon its otherwise glorious history. The record of the testimony upon the trial which followed arouses mingled feelings of mirth and sadness and can be summarized somewhat as follows:
Following hard upon the heels of any disagreement, or quar­rel, between Mary Parsons and any member of the Bridgman family, a fatal disease would seize upon some horse, cow, or pig, belonging to the Bridgman family and, as the disease could not be accounted for in any other way, it must be the result of Mary's uncanny influence exercised by way of revenge. Mrs. Bridg­man's child died and she said she thought Mary Parsons had be­witched it.
Her eleven-year-old son fractured his knee, which seems to have been very bunglingly set by the "Chirugeon," and the little fellow in his agony cried out that Mary Parsons was pulling his leg off, and that he saw her on the shelf. When she went away he said that a black mouse followed her.
William Hannum testified that he had a ''falling out'' with Mary Parsons about the use of her brother John's (John Bliss) oxen. After that he lost, by disease, a "lusty cow" and a "lusty swine" that bad before been well and healthy. In a day or two after, while on his way to Windsor, with his cart and oxen, one of the cattle was bitten by a rattlesnake and died there. "These things," he said, "doe something run in my mind that I cannot have my mind from this woman."
A Mrs. Hannum was also a witness. She lived a short distance from Mrs. Parsons on Market Street. She testified that she had "been warned by some of Windsor and some of Norwattack (Northampton) to beware how I had to do with Mary, the wife of Joseph Parsons." Notwithstanding this warning, she spun yarn for Mrs. Parsons and there were disputes between them as to the quantity. Then Mrs. Parsons had asked that one of Mrs. Hannum's daughten might go to live with her, which had been refused. Then her daughter, "though formerly healthy, yet this summer hath been sickly and unhelpful to me which, though I know it may be by God's own immediate hand, yet it causes some jealousyes in me against Mary because it fell out within three or four days after I had given her a full denyal of my daughter's service."
And Trumbull adds : "Here is the covert insinuation of un­canny dealings by Mrs. Parsons. The daughter, charmed with the idea of living with one of the richest families in town was disappointed at the refusal of her mother and sulked and wouldn't help about the house work."
The decision of the court was in favor of the plaintiff and against Mrs. Bridgman, and she was ordered to make public ac­knowledgment of her fault at Northampton and Springfield, and that her husband, James Bridgman, pay to plaintiff £Io arid J.7 IS, cost of court.
And Trumbull makes the following comment on page 45 : "Mary Parsons was apparently a proud and nervous woman, haughty in demeanor and inclined to carry things with a high hand, she belonged to the aristocracy and evidently considered herself a dame of considerable importance. A woman of forci­ble speech and domineering ways she was not unwilling that her neighbors should have the benefit of her opinions on any sub­ ject touching herself and her family. A case so flimsy and frivo­lous and founded on jealousy, prejudice and superstition, con­ducted before honorable and sensible men, could not well have reached any other decision.
"To that community, however, in those days of belief in the supernatural it was serious and significant.
"Such gossip was an affront that Esq. Parsons could not ov.er­look in a town in which he ranked as one of the first in worldly possessions."
But the charge of witchcraft against this Mary Parsons did not end with the judgment in the slander suit.
Eighteen years after the charge was renewed and at about the time of the Salem witchcraft trials. The occasion was the death of Mary, a daughter of the same James Bridgman, and then the wife of Samuel Bartlett. The trial occurred in Boston and is referred to on pages 228-233, Vol. I, of Trpmbull's History of Northampton. At page 233 the author says, "the fact that Mrs. Parsons voluntarily appeared before the court 'desiring to clear herself of such an execrable crime,' and that subsequently she argued her own case before the court must not be overlooked.
On both these occasions she met her accusers boldly, protesting her innocence, and showing 'how clear she was of such a crime.' In this trial Mrs. Parsons was 'called to speak for herself' and from the meagre report upon record, undoubtedly did so most effectively."
In the Bliss genealogy, by J. H. Bliss (1881), pages 30-31, appear the record of the marriage of Joseph Parsons to Mary Bliss, and this mention of the witchcraft trial: "Mary Bliss, the mother of this family, two years after the birth of her youngest child, was charged with witchcraft by some of her neighbors who were envious of their prosperity and endeavored in this way to disgrace them.
"She was sent to Boston for trial, where the jury gave her a full acquittal of the crime and she returned home to N orthamp­ ton, from where they moved back to Springfield in 1679. Just after her acquittal in Boston her son, Ebenezer, was killed by the Indians and those who had been instrumental in bringing her to trial said, 'Behold, though human judges may be bought off, God's vengeance neither turns aside nor slumbers.' It is said that she possessed great beauty and talents but was not very amiable."
Mrs. Mary Parsons survived her husband twenty-seven years, dying in Springfield, in 1712, aged ninety-two. Her name as Widow Parsons appears in the Springfield records as a taxpayer and owner of real estate to the time of her death.

MNU, Queen Matilda “Maud” (I39920)
 
4160 Matilda was born around 1080 in Dunfermline, the daughter of the Scottish king Malcolm III and the Anglo-Saxon princess Saint Margaret. She was christened Edith, with the Anglo-Norman prince Robert Curthose standing as godfather at the ceremony. The English queen Matilda of Flanders was also present at the baptismal font and served as her godmother. Edith pulled at Queen Matilda's headdress, which was seen as an omen that the infant would be queen one day.
——
After Matilda died on 1 May 1118 at Westminster Palace, she was buried at Westminster Abbey. The death of her son, William Adelin, in the tragic disaster of the White Ship (November 1120) and Henry's failure to produce a legitimate son from his second marriage led to the succession crisis of The Anarchy.

4164 Maud de Percy is a descendant of Magna Carta surety barons Roger le Bigod, Hugh le Bigod, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. PERCY, Matilda “Maud” (I43315)
 
4165 Maud FitzJohn, Countess of Warwick (died 16/18 April 1301) was an English noblewoman and the eldest daughter of John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere. Her second husband was William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick, a celebrated soldier. Through her daughter, Isabella, Maud was the maternal grandmother of Hugh the younger Despenser, the unpopular favourite of King Edward II of England, whowas executed in 1326.

Maud was born in Shere, Surrey, England on an unknown date, the eldest daughter of John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, Justiciar of Ireland, and Isabel Bigod, a descendant of Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster. Maud had two brothers, Richard FitzJohn of Shere and John FitzJohn of Shere, and three younger sisters, Aveline FitzJohn, Joan FitzJohn, and Isabel FitzJohn. She also had a half-brother, Walterde Lacy, and two half-sisters, Margery de Lacy, and Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville, from her mother's first marriage to Gilbert de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy. The chronicle of Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshirenames Matilda uxor Guidono comitis Warwici as the eldest daughter of Johanni Fitz-Geffrey and Isabella Bygod.[1] Her paternal grandparents were Geoffrey Fitzpeter, 1st Earl of Essex and Aveline de Clare, and her maternal grandparents were Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk and Maud Marshal.

Maud married her first husband, Gerald de Furnivalle, Lord Hallamshire on an unknown date. Sometime after his death in 1261, Maud married her second husband, the celebrated soldier, William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick. Upon their marriage, Maud was styled as Countess of Warwick.

Together William and Maud had at least two children:[2]

* Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick (1270/1271- 28 July 1315), on 28 February 1310, he married as her second husband, heiress Alice de Toeni, by whom he had seven children.
* Isabella de Beauchamp (died before 30 May 1306), married firstly in 1281 Sir Patrick de Chaworth, Lord of Kidwelly, by whom she had a daughter, Maud Chaworth; she married secondly in 1286, Hugh le Despenser, Lord Despenser by whom she had four children including Hugh Despenser the younger, the unpopular favourite of King Edward II, who was executed in 1326, shortly after his father.

Maud died between 16 and 18 April 1301. She was buried at the house of the Friars Minor in Worcester. 
FITZJOHN, Maud (I43356)
 
4166 Maud Marshal, Countess of Norfolk, Countess of Surrey (1192 – 27 March 1248) was an Anglo-Norman noblewoman and a wealthy co-heiress of her father William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and her mother Isabel de Clare suo jure 4th Countess of Pembroke. Maud was their eldest daughter.[1] She had two husbands: Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, and William de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey.

Matilda's birthdate is unknown other than being post 1191. She was the eldest daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, herself one of the greatest heiresses in Wales and Ireland. Maud had five brothers and four younger sisters. She was a co-heiress to her parents' extensive rich estates.

Her paternal grandparents were [[John FitzGilbert Marshal] and Sybilla of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow", and Aoife of Leinster.

Sometime before Lent in 1207, Maud married her first husband, Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk. It was through this marriage between Maud and Hugh that the post of Earl Marshal of England came finallyto the Howard Dukes of Norfolk.[2] In 1215, Hugh was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta. He came into his inheritance in 1221, thus Maud became the Countess of Norfolk at that time. Together they had five children:[3]

* Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (1209–1270), married Isabella of Scotland. He died childless.
* Hugh Bigod (1212–1266), Justiciar of England. Married Joan de Stuteville, by whom he had issue.
* Isabel Bigod (c. 1215 – 1250), married firstly Gilbert de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy, by whom she had issue; she married secondly John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, by whom she had issue.
* Ralph Bigod (born c. 1218, date of death unknown), married Bertha de Furnival, by whom he had one child.
* William Bigod

Hugh Bigod died in 1225. Maud married her second husband, William de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey before 13 October that same year. Together they had two children:

* John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey (August 1231 – c. 29 September 1304), in 1247 married Alice le Brun de Lusignan, a half-sister of King Henry III of England, by whom he had three children.
* Isabella de Warenne (c. 1228 – before 20 September 1282), married Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel. She died childless.

Maud's second husband died in 1240. Her youngest son John succeeded his father as the 7th Earl of Surrey, but as he was a minor, Peter of Savoy, uncle of Queen consort Eleanor of Provence, was guardian of his estates.

Maud died on 27 March 1248 at the age of about fifty-six years and was buried at Tintern Abbey with her mother, possibly her maternal grandmother, and two of her brothers.

4169 May 31, 1737, James Folsom, of Exeter, glazier, was made guardian of Nicholas Calley, of Stratham (s/o Richard), a minor aged less than 14 years. Besides being a "glazier" he owned various pieces of land and no doubt farmed to some extent. His home stood on Main Street, near the present George W. Lamprey house. It was described by Mr. B. F. Swasey in his "Notes on Early Exeter," as he remembered it, "as a large two-story house." It was probably built around 1736 , and after passing through various ownerships (traced by deeds) was demolished several years ago. FOLSOM, James (I5444)

4183 Memorial of Peter Long
Memorialist served during the late war as a rifleman in Col. Worm's Battallion.
Drew 100 acres of his 150 as no. 31 in the Hessian line in the township of Clements; but as this was out of the way he settled first in the town plot of Digby; pursuing his trade as a carpenter. There had his other 50 acres assigned to him, in the township of Digby by the agents, no. 5 in letter B which contained about 50 acres. As soon as circumstances permitted he settled on the first lot and improved it. Now wishes to settle the second lot; but it has been reported vacant by the commissioners, and many applicants lay claim to it; and as the memorialist is not named in any grant in the township of Digby is in danger or losing his land, and prays his title be confirmed.

4189 Merritt "Bud" Talcott Davis was born in Stafford Springs, CT, on February 1, 1924 in the Johnson Memorial Hospital. He was the last of the Davis family to live on the family farm in Somers, CT. At an early age, he moved to Seattle, WA with his family. Here, he spent his youth, having many adventures. One of the most famous of these was the time that he and Glen Sperry (who later in life was killed by police during a bank robbery) stole a rowboat and attempted to row across Lake Washington. Bud was about 8 years old at the time. They were nearly killed by a crossing ferryboat, which was unable to see them in the dark.

Bud's parents divorced when he was about 12 years old (abt 1936) and Merritt Sr. kidnapped Bud and his brother Neil and took them back to live on the farm in Connecticut. Here Bud and Neil spent their teenage years, shooting squirrels and causing trouble. There was always competition between Bud and Neil, and they were always doing mean things to each other. Once, Neil told Bud that he wanted to have a paper ball kicking competition. The objective was to see who could kick a wad of balled-up newspaper further. Bud quickly agreed, sure that he could best his brother. However, unknown to Bud, Neil had hidden a large brick in Bud's newspaper ball. Since the contest was held barefoot, Bud ended up with a very sore foot while Neil laughed for many days. In retaliation, Bud decided to punish Neil with an ash-walking contest. Bud had discovered that there were very hot ashes under a pile of seemingly cold ashes on the farm, following a fire the day before. He told Neil that he had discovered how nice it was to run barefoot through this ash pile, saying that he had done so and that it was just heavenly to feel the cool ashes squish between your toes. Neil, of course, wanted to do this too, and Bud showed him the ashpile. Needless to say, Neil did not enjoy his tromp through the ashes too much.

Bud did not finish high school, opting instead to join the Navy in 1941 at age 17. He thought that fighting a war would be a lot more fun than learning math. He ended up in the European theatre, being stationed in England before the invasion. He also particpated in supply runs to Murmansk, USSR. In 1944, he was part of the Allied team that invaded France on D-Day. His job was to ferry troops to Omaha Beach on LST boats. He was not injured. Bud had many adventures during the war, primarily amourous liaisons with European women. He claims to have dated many English girls and even to have had sex with a French girl in an apple orchard. Bud loved the war.

When he returned home in 1945, he spend his time riding his motorcycle and just having fun in Somers. He met Margaret Slanetz in 1946 when she was a senior in high school, and it was purported that he had a wild time with her on their first date, which consisted of him merely showing up to some location where she was baby-sitting, being introduced to her by a friend. Bud and Margaret dated on and off for several years, but Bud was more interested in his motorcycles than in a real committment. When Margaret went away to dental hygiene school in Rochester, NY, in 1948, they didn't see much of each other. However, when she came back, they dated again, and ended up getting married on August 12, 1952 in Hazardville, CT.

Margaret's father, Walt, gave the newleyweds some land in Enfield, CT, and they built a small home there in 1953. There they raised a family, with son Mark born in 1956, daughter Diane born in 1958, and son Robert being born in 1963. During the 60's, Bud spent a lot of time having fun, hunting, fishing, and camping. His favorite place to camp was Baxter State Park, Maine, and the nearby Alligash wilderness. In 1962, Bud and family took a car trip from Connecticut to Washington state to visit his mother, sister, and brother. He had not seen his mother since 1948, when he spent a short time in Washington, obtaining his pilot's license on the GI Bill. This was to be the last time that Bud would see his mother.

In the summer of 1966, Bud learned that his father's colon cancer had recurred. His father, Merritt A. Davis, had converted to the Mormon faith and moved to Utah in 1962. Bud and family drove to Utah for a vacation that year. In December 1967, Bud and Margaret flew to Utah to see his father again. In May of 1968, Bud and his son Mark drove to Utah for a final visit with his father who died later that summer.

In 1978, Bud learned that he had come down with colon cancer, as had his father. He underwent a colostomy, had numerous radiation and chemotherapy treatments, but they were not successful. He made a final visit to his brother and sister in Washington in May 1982, and became seriously ill during that trip. Bud remained at home until May of 1985, when he was admitted to a hostel in Branford, CT. He passed away on July 5, 1985, and was buried with his grandfather and great grandfather in the North Cemetery, Somers, CT.

REVOLUNTIONARY WAR: 1778. Appointed 1st Lieutenant in Capt. Jacob Diefendorf's Co. Col. Clydes Reg, of Tryon Co. Militia, March 4 1780.
1783 promoted to Captain of Militia. Resigned in 1798 (pg. 116, 119 Countryman Genealogy)
——
Captain George died in 1809. leaving a will. He was a lieutenant from 1778 to 1788, when he was promoted to a Captain of Militia in 1798, when he resigned.
——
Capt George Countryman was married to Christina, daughter of Heinrich and Anna Rosina Diefendorf. Their home was situated in the Windecker-Conterman-Leyp patent, in what was long known as Dutchtown, in what was later the Town of Minden, Montgomery Co, NY, and is said to have been the only house, in all that populously settled section, which was not destroyed in the Tory-Indian Raid of 1780. For some time, it is said, the standing house was regarded as a monument of savage mercy. But after the war it appears the mystery was solved. One of the brothers of Captain George Countryman is said to have been a Tory, became a traitor to the American Cause and followed the Johnsons and Butlers into Canada. He left his family in Dutchtown and, at the time of the raid of 1780, fearing that his wife might have found a refuge in the home of his brother, George, his entreaties to have his brother’s house spared, prevailed. After the war, this brother sent word from Canada to Captain George Countryman informing him why his house had been spared and assuring him that had he known, at the time, how own wife was not in it he would have seen his house smoke like the rest. Capt Countryman replaced forbidding his brother ever to darken his door, since, he added, “You have not only been sales to your country but also you have been a traitor to your King.”
——
Following is a copy of the will of Capt. George Countryman, s/o Conrad Countryman : "In the name of God, Amen, I, George Conterman, of the town of Minden, county of Montgomery, and State of New York, being sickly in body, but of perfect mind and memory (thanks to God), calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do this day make and ordain this to be my last Will and Testament, after recommending my soul into the hands of Almighty God, and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in a decent Christian-like manner at the discretion of my executors, nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God, and as touching such worldly affairs concerning my estate, wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life.

will and testament, and do hereby utterly disallow, revoke and annul all and every former testaments, wills, regacies, bequests and executions by me in anywise before made and named willed and bequeathed, ratifying this and no other to be my last will and testament.

Revolutionary note: Expedition
——
The expedition organized by the Americans in June, 1779, to dislodge the British who had occupied the point where is now the town of Castine, Maine, as a base of supplies and a naval station, has been known in history as the Bagaduce expedition, but at that time was called "The Expedition to the Penobscot." The arm of the sea now called Bagaduce River was in former times called Matchebiguatus, an Indian name meaning at a place where there is no safe harbor. At the time of the Revolution it was known as Maja-Bagaduce, which was contracted into Bagaduce and hence the name of the expedition.
The fact that the campaign was a disastrous failure has probably deterred historians from the preparation of a full history of the affair; but as it was one of the most prominent events in Maine's Revolutionary history, it seems proper that the service, with the company rolls of the men who composed the regiments, should be recorded. The men were in no wise responsible for the results, and no doubt acted as well as they could under the circumstances in which they found themselves placed.

——
The Penobscot Expedition was a 44-ship American naval task force mounted during the Revolutionary War by the Provincial Congress of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The flotilla of 19 warships and 25 smaller support vessels sailed from Boston on July 19, 1779 for the upper Penobscot Bay in the District of Maine carrying a ground expeditionary force of more than 1,000 colonial Marines and militiamen. Also included was a 100-man artillery detachment under the command of Lt. Colonel Paul Revere. The Expedition's goal was to reclaim control of what is now mid-coast Maine from the British who had seized it a month earlier and renamed it New Ireland. It was the largest American naval expedition of the war. The fighting took place both on land and at sea in and around the mouth of the Penobscot and Majabigwaduce Rivers at what is today Castine, Maine over a period of three weeks in July and August of 1779. One of its greatest victories of the war for the British, the Expedition was also the United States' worst naval defeat until Pearl Harbor 162 years later in 1941.
On June 17 of that year, British Army forces under the command of General Francis McLean landed and began to establish a series of fortifications centered on Fort George, located on the Majabigwaduce Peninsula in the upper Penobscot Bay, with the goals of establishing a military presence on that part of the coast and establishing the colony of New Ireland. In response, the Province of Massachusetts, with some support from the Continental Congress, raised an expedition to drive the British out.
The Americans landed troops in late July and attempted to establish a siege of Fort George in a series of actions that were seriously hampered by disagreements over control of the expedition between land forces commander Brigadier General Solomon Lovell and the expedition's overall commander, Commodore Dudley Saltonstall, who was subsequently dismissed from the Navy for ineptness and failure to effectively prosecute the mission. For almost three weeks General McLean held off the assault until a British relief fleet under the command of Sir George Collier arrived from New York on August 13, driving the American fleet to total self-destruction up the Penobscot River. The survivors of the American expedition were forced to make an overland journey back to more populated parts of Massachusetts with minimal food and armament.

4210 Milton Ellis Sutton written Jan 30, 1888

The following brief sketch of the life & labor of the author is written for the satisfaction of relatives & friends, when he is no more on this earth.

I was born in Knox County Ohio July 30th 1814, being the third son of Reuben & Jane Sutton. I was brought up in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, my parents moving to that state in my early infancy. I was connected & United with the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in said county at the age of 16. And at an early period my mind was seriously exercised upon the safe & just preaching and command exhorting & talking to the people at prayer. At the same time I commenced going to school at what was known as "Valley Academy" a good grammar school in said county.

On leaving this school I went to read & study for the ministry with the Rev Wm Brownfield Pastor of the Simontown Baptist of which I became a member by letter & of which I was regularly licensed to preach. In this capacity I visited & addressed the people in different communities until my ordination was called for, which took place in Simontown in the winter of 1834. Rev Wm Brownfield, James Troy & Barnet Whitlatch constituted the council.

In June of the same year I was married to Miss Mary Wynn of the same state. For a number of years following I travelled much & I preached in many places in the counties of Fayette, Green, Allegany, Westmoreland, & Somerset in same state and more or less in other adjoining states in moving charge of sometimes two and sometimes four churches to whom I ministered on one or two Sabbaths each month. Once a month served being the general rule.

A few of my children died in infancy. The other 4 still living are Eliza A Burger of Oakland, James E Sutton of Canton Ill, Josephus Sutton, Crow Creek, Dakota, and Mary B Smith of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. 
SUTTON, Rev Milton Ellis (I3836)
 
4211 Milton Wright was born in 1828 on his father’s farm in Rush County, Indiana. He was a studious youngster, and was encouraged in his studies by his two older brothers, Samuel Smith and Harvey. Like his father, he was influenced by the tail end of Second Great Awakening and determined to lead a religious life in 1843. However, he did not formally join a church until 1847 when he became a United Brethren. The Church of the United Brethren was the first completely American religious sect and as such embodied many of the equalitarian principles of the new nation. It was especially popular in the Midwest and its unofficial headquarters were in Dayton, Ohio.
Milton moved quickly up the ranks. He took a supervisory position at Hartsville College (a United Brethren institution), was ordained a minister, served time as a missionary in the gold fields of Oregon, and then returned to Indiana to become a circuit preacher.
The Civil War loomed large in Milton’s early life, but he did not fight even though he was unequivocally an abolitionist. He was also a pacifist, so much so that he would not preach to the troops. Strong opinions like these made Milton both an influential and controversial figure in the Church of the United Brethren. His career required that he move his family often. They lived in three different locations in Indiana before Milton was appointed the editor of the church newspaper in 1869 and moved to Dayton, Ohio where the United Brethren maintained their printing house. In 1877, he was appointed Bishop of the United Brethren churches between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, and moved his family to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In 1881, he was called back east to become a circuit preacher once more and he deposited his family in Richmond, Indiana. In 1884 he moved the family for the last time, taking them back to Dayton where he could be closer to and more involved in church politics. In 1889, the Church of the United Brethren spilt along conservative and liberal lines and Milton became a Bishop of the conservatives, the Church of the United Brethren, Old Constitution.
That same year, his wife Susan died of tuberculosis. Reuchlin and Lorin had already left home – Reuchlin to start his own family and Lorin to see if he could make a go of it on the Kansas frontier. Wilbur, Orville, and Katharine remained. While Milton was building a new church, his two younger sons started a printing business, a newspaper, and a bicycle shop. Katharine attended Oberlin College, and then taught at Steele High School in Dayton. About the time that Orville and Wilbur began demonstrating their airplanes, Bishop Milton Wright was forcibly retired from his church over a disagreement on whether or not to prosecute a Brethren who had misappropriated church funds. Milton lived to see his younger sons achieve international fame for the invention of the first practical airplane, and then died in 1917.
For Wilbur, Orville, and Katharine, this was the end of their genealogical line. Nether brother married or fathered any children. Katharine married late in her life, but she had no offspring. Older brothers Reuchlin and Lorin, however, married and had sons and daughters. The ancient Wryta lineage continues through their progeny and many others.

*Sara Murphy, Patron of Writers and Artists in France, 91, Dead*
By Alden Whitman
Sarah Murphy, widow of Gerald Murphy and the model for Nicole in F. ScottFitzgerald's "Tender Is the Night," died yesterday of pneumonia in theArlington (Va.) Hospital. She was 91 years old and lived at 1113 BasilRoad, McLean, Va.
Mrs. Murphy, with her husband, was a friend and patron of scores of artists and writers, especially during the nineteen-twenties, when they lived in Paris and on the Riviera. Mr. Murphy, who was a painter and later president of the Mark Cross Company here had a flat in Paris and a home at Cap d'Antibes called the Villa America from about 1917 to 1931.
In the late thirties, the couple was instrumental in establishing EastHampton and Amagansett, L.I., as a center for artists. They had a home inEast Hampton and encouraged, first, expatriate European painters and then Americans, to live and work there.
In her years in France, Mrs. Murphy was a close friend of Mr. Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda, who were frequent guests on the Riviera. The novelist once told Mr. Murphy that "Tender Is the Night," which he liked the best of the four novels published in his lifetime and which he dedicated to the Murphys, "was inspired by Sara and you, and the way I feel about you both, and the last of it is Zelda and me because you and Sara are the same people as Zelda and me."
*Book Perturbed Her*
In the novel, Mr. Murphy appears as Dick Diver, an ambitious but disintegrating psychiatrist. Nicole Diver, fun-loving and self-centered, had the mannerisms and physical characteristics of Mrs. Murphy. The book, published in 1934, perturbed the Murphys and led Ernest Hemingway to accuse Mr. Fitzgerald of creating not people but beautifully faked case histories.
Late in her life Mrs. Murphy reread the book for the first time since it was published and said, "I didn't like the book when I read it, and liked it even less on rereading."
"I reject categorically any resemblance to us or to anyone we knew at the time."

Mrs. Murphy was born Sara Wiborg in Cincinnati on Nov. 7, 1883. Herfamily was well-to-do, and she was educated in Germany and at the SpenceSchool. She and Mr. Murphy married in 1916.

In France, she was a friend of such writers as Hemingway, Dorothy Parker,Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott and Donald Ogden Stewart as well asof Archibald MacLeish and John Dos Passos. Her artist friends includedPablo Picasso and Fernand Leger.

*Tribute on Living*

Mr. Dos Passos, who had known the Murphys for 40 years, once said inexplaining the couple's catalytic role with writers and artists:

"People were always their best selves with the Murphys."

And Mr. MacLeish had another explanation, remarking:

"Person after person -- English, French, American, everybody -- met themand came away saying that these people were really mastering the art ofliving."

Mrs. Murphy was also exceptionally handsome. One notable photograph showsher, arm in arm with Picasso, with Mrs. Murphy dressed in an ankle-lengthprint dress and a turban. That Mrs. Murphy lived with style was evident.She cared about the good life -- sun, air, food and wine, family, friendsand love.

The Murphys returned to the United States so that Mr. Murphy could runthe family store on Fifth Avenue. They lived quietly here and on LongIsland. Although they felt savaged in "Tender Is the Night," they neverforsook Fitzgerald as a friend. They helped him financially when hisdaughter was attending Vassar, and tried to understand his drinking andhis wife's final descent in madness.

Mr. Murphy died in 1964 at the age of 76. In recent years, Mrs. Murphyhas been living with her daughter, Honoria Donnelly, who survives, alongwith three grandchildren.

4222 Moses (d/o Aquila 1), Ensign, born 24 Dec. 1663, weaver, married 10 Nov. 1684 Anne Follansbee (1), died in West Newbury 6 Sept. 1743. 9 children. CHASE, Moses (I34501)
 
4223 Moses was about twelve years old when the family moved to Worcester. He probably followed his father to Brookfield for time, as he was deeded a farm there in 1732, but the births of his two oldest children are recorded in Worcester. In 1738, he sold his Worcester land and bought land in Rutland. He served as selectman and treasurer at various times in Rutland and lived in the "North West Quarter" or "Rutland District" which later became Barre. His home seems to have been in the area of the present Barre common. In 1778, he followed his children to Warwick, where in 1782, he gave the town land that is now the north end of the cemetery for a burying ground with the provision that they erect a fence and allow him to pasture his cattle and sheep there. His epitaph (part of which is below the present turf line) reads - "Reader behold and shed a tear, Think on the dust that slumbers here, And when you read ye fate of me, Think of the glass that runs for ye". LEONARD, Moses (I26721)
 
4224 Moses was the first male child born in Alna, Lincoln Co., ME. He moved to MA in 1788, where he engaged extensively in commerce. In this business he was eminently successful until the war of 1812. He then lost all his large property without a murmur against government. Having advocated the war at the commencement, he gave his influence to sustain it till the last. He was twice a member of the executive council of Ma before Me was admitted to the union as a state. He afterwards held many important offices. He was a gentleman of the old school, entertaining distinguished guests who visited the part of the state in which he lived, in a manner every way suitable to their rank and character and the abundant means he possessed in the days of his posterity. Of his 12 children, only one survived him. He saw much of life. He knew how to enjoy prosperity without pride and to suffer adversity without despondency or moroseness. Possessing in are markable degree the sensibility of his race, appreciating honesty and honorable dealing and acts of personal kindness, his detestation of everything dishonest and mean was limited only by the capacities of his vigorous mind. He knew neither rich nor poor, honorable or lowly. He was alike affable to all noble minded whatever their rank or position in society.

Moses Carlton owned the ship Liverpool Packet, the ship Mary, the brig Eliza, and the schooner Walter. He also held one-half of the schooner Edward Preble and three quarters of the ship William Carlton, the other quarter was held by his son William. Moses also held one-quarter of the ship Susan.
——
When his ships came in bringing home the fruit of their voyages, the cargo money, in nail kegs, was pushed uphill from Carlton's wharf in wheelbarrows to his mansion on High Street by Robert Dow and emptied into chests in the cellar.
Tradition relates of the affluent Moses Carlton, that standing one day on his wharf, he threw a gold ring into the Sheepscot River, saying as he did so, "There is as much chance of my dying a poor man as there is of my ever again seeing that ring." A few days later when fish was served on the bountiful Carlton table, there, to the consternation of the family, was the identical gold ring inside of the fish. At the time of the embargo he saw thirty of his vessels rotting at the wharves, and he died a poor man.
It was during this period of anxiety that Moses Carlton, fearing an attack on Wiscasset by the British, built for a hideout, a large house at Head Tide, equipped with a secret closet, secret stairs and a jug vault in the cellar, a replica of that built by Nehemiah Somes for the Lincoln and Kennebec Bank at Wiscasset. This house is still standing and is owned by Mrs. Fred Hilton of Augusta.

4248 MRS. VINCENT PASSES AWAY
Surrounded By the Children She Has Reared She Enters Into Rest—The Funeral Tuesday.
The wife of Rev. T. T. Vincent of the First Presbyterian church, Alice A. (nee Countryman), closed a useful and honored life, Saturday, September 21st, 1912, at 3:45 p.m., at her home in this city, at the age of 53 years, 10 months and 11 days. The immediate cause of her death was dropsy, resulting in partial paralysis of the right side.
Mrs. Vincent was born in Dakota county, Minnesota, November 10th, 1858. She was respected and loved by all her young friends for her unselfish disposition and lovable ways, and to know her was to love and respect her. She was married to Rev. T. T. Vincent of the same county and state, October 14, 1875, and on the 19th of the same month left her native state with her husband for Oregon, a state even at that time apparently remote and far removed from civilization. It was like a death knell to her parents, brothers, sisters and friends to say to her at that time "Goodbye."
For nearly thirty-seven years she faithfully, loyally and devotedly shared the labors, trials, successes and failures of her husband.
Nine children were born of this union, eight of whom survive and were by her side when she passes away. They are: Mrs. Ida Mae Mathany, Centralia, Washington; Ro. O. Vincent, Midland, Oregon; Prof. C. C. Vincent of the state agricultural college, Moscow, Idaho; Ira L. Vincent, of Wren, Oregon; Mrs. Pearl E. Stevens, Gervais, Oregon; Mrs. Elsie Williams, Corvallis, Oregon and Chester L. and Vivian I. living at home with their parents in Woodburn. She had six grandchildren: Howard, Alice and Clinton Mathany, Robert Vincent, Marjory Vincent and Gwendolyn Williams,She is also survived by four sisters and four brothers, one of whom was present at the funeral, Mr. P. K. Countryman of Portland, Oregon.

ELIZABETH BAPTIST CHURCH ORGANIZED 1842
The Baptist church at Elizabeth was organized with sixty-eight charter members, September 17, 1842. Prior to that date, the Baptist church at Salem had assisted in organizing the Baptist work in Elizabeth by sending their pastor, Rev. James Estep, to preach — as early as 1837. Taking part in the organization services were Rev. James Estep, Rev. Samuel Williams and Rev. William Penny.
The first meeting house was a frame structure, erected in 1833, and located in the lower end of the village. In 1863 the congregation purchased a house of worship from the Cumberland Presbyterians. The Elizabeth church was a member of the Pittsburgh Association from 1842 until 1853, at which time it became affiliated with the Monongahela Baptist Association. In 1859 the church severed its connection with the Monongahela Association and did not again affiliate itself with any Baptist Association until 1864, when it came back into the fellowship of the Pittsburgh Association. The church suffered greatly during the War Between the States. The present membership is 348.
The following ministers have served the church:
Rev. James Estep (1842), Rev. Isaac Wynn (1843-1844), Rev. Milton Sutton (1844-1847), Rev. J. K. Hornish (1847-1849), Rev. S. W. Fojambe (1850-1861), Rev. R. Sutton (1861-1863), Rev.
