| 4252 | 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.

| 4253 | Mt Moriah Baptist Church has records of Milton. Discrepancy on birth date - obit in Baptists records says b. Jul 30 1814 -- tombstone says 1 Aug 1814. —— Some genealogists list his first wife as Mary Taylor, but this is not proven. Need to see the church records. —— He was a member of the Baptist Church about 1830 in Great Bethel Baptist Church, Uniontown, Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. He joined the church at the age of 16 and was licensed to preach on 6 Jul 1833, at the age of 19. He was ordained on 4 May 1834 in Great Bethel Baptist Church, Uniontown, Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. He served the church once a month, along with the Rev. Seymour, beginning 24 Jun 1837, then for one year beginning 24 Apr 1842 he was Pastor of the church. He was a patron of the Baptist Home Mission in 1854 in Mount Zion field (now Bonaparte Baptist Church), Bonaparte, Van Buren Co, Iowa. He was a preacher in 1858 in Mount Pleasant, Henry Co, Iowa. He was a minister in 1859 in Mount Zion field (now Bonaparte Baptist Church), Bonaparte, Van Buren Co, Iowa. He was Chaplain of the Iowa Hospital for the Insane from 1870 to 1883. —— The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mt Pleasant was established in 1869, with Rev. Enoch Smith, twenty members, and with Rev. Dr. Estep as pastor. Immediately succeeding Rev. Estep came William Shadrack. The successive pastors after Rev. Shadrack were James Estep, Rev. Rockefeller, Isaac Wynn, Simon Sigfried, Milton Sutton, John Parker, W. A. Caldwell, T. R. Taylor, WI. W. Hickman, B. F. Woodburn, G. A. Ames, Leroy Stephens. They built their first house of worship in 1830, and a new one on Main street in 1868, which is still in use by them. (History of Westmoreland County, Volume 1, Chapter 37) —— 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. William Whitehead (1863-1867), Rev. J. K.

| 4257 | My mother, Mamie Betts, was one of the strongest women I ever knew. One of the things I think of real often is the time she drove from Deer Isle, where we had spent the summer while my father was temporarily assigned to train for a new job, to Norristown, Pa. It was in August, 1924. In those days there weren't any Interstate Highways, so it was quite a trip. We had several flat tires, which my brother Charles, then twelve years old, had to change. After several repair jobs my mother was told she just had to buy a new tire. Of course, being on a tight budget, that was not very good news but she managed, and we finally arrived in Norristown. A few weeks later, on November 4th, my sister Anna was born. That was just one of the almost impossible things my mother did. Following is a copy of an article run in the Ellsworth American, issue of 10/ 24: Rather a remarkable drive was one taken last week by Mrs. L. B.Betts, a former Ellsworth woman, from Gardiner Maine, to a suburb of Harrisburg, PA, where Mr. Betts has recently opened a store. Nothing especially remarkable in the drive itself, but Mrs. Betts took seven children with her, the youngest less than a year old and the oldest not thirteen. That required some courage. * Note by Charlotte Betts Smith: The trip was to Norristown, Pa. not Harrisburg. We had previously lived just outside Harrisburg. And the starting point was from Sunshine,Deer Isle, where we had spent the summer with my grandmother. | DAVIS, Mary Fox (I38437)

| 4271 | Nathan came to New England as a small child with Abraham Conley, his step-father. His name first appears in the records when he signed the Submission to Massachusetts in 1652. He was granted sixty (60) acres of salt marsh land by the town of Kittery, York, Maine, on December 16, 1652. Nathan's first wife was Judith Conley, his step-sister, and they were married April 28, 1653 and had 2 sons, Nathan and Abraham. After Judith died in 1658, Nathan married Martha Everett. In 1676, with his son Nathan, Jr., he purchased an estate called Old Fields near Mount Misery in South Berwick, York, Maine. Nathan died in 1690 but, due to the Indian Wars, his will was not probated until 1697. | LORD, Nathan (I3949)

| 4272 | Nathan Hale was a soldier for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He volunteered for an intelligence-gathering mission in New York City but was captured by the British and executed. He is probably best remembered for his purported last words before being hanged: "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country." Hale has long been considered an American hero and, in 1985, he was officially designated the state hero of Connecticut. | HALE, Nathan (I46887)

| 4274 | Nathaniel Putnam was one of the principals in the great lawsuit concerning the ownership of the Bishop farm. His action in this matter was merely to prevent the attempt of Zerubabel Endicott to push the bounds of the Bishop grant over his land. The case was a long and complicated affair, and was at last settled to the satisfaction of Allen and Putnam in 1683. December 10, 1688, Lieutenant Nathaniel Putnam was one of the four messengers sent to Rev. Samuel Parris to obtain his reply to the call of the parish. Parris was afterwards installed as the minister of the parish, and four years later completely deceived Mr. Putnam in regard to the witchcraft delusion. That he honestly believed in witchcraft and in the statements of the afflicted girls there seems to be no doubt; that he was not inclined to be severe is evident, and his goodness of character shows forth in marked contrast with the almost bitter feeling shown by many of those concerned. He lived to see the mistake he had made. That he should have believed in the delusion is not strange, for belief in witchcraft was then all but universal. The physicians and ministers called upon to examine the girls, who pretended to be bewitched, agreed that such was the fact. Upham states that ninety-nine out of every one hundred in Salem believed that such was the case. There can be no doubt that the expressed opinion of a man like Nathaniel Putnam must have influenced scores of his neighbors. His eldest brother had been dead seven years, and he had succeeded to the position as head of the great Putnam family with its connections. He was known as "Landlord Putnam," a term given for many years to the oldest living member of the family. He saw the family of his brother Thomas Putnam afflicted, and being an upright and honest man himself, believed in the disordered imaginings of his grandniece, Ann. These are powerful reasons to account for his belief and actions. The following extract from Upham brings out the better side of his character : "Entire confidence was felt by all in his judgment, and deservedly. But he was a strong religionist, a lifelong member of the church, and extremely strenuous and zealous in his ecclesiastical relations. He was getting to be an old man, and AIr. Parris had whoily succeeded in obtaining, for the time, possession of his feelings, sympathy and zeal in the management of the church, and secured his full co-operation in the witchcraft prosecutions. He had been led by Parris to take the very front in the proceedings. But even Nathaniel Putnam could not stand by in silence and see Rebecca Kurse sacrificed. ? curious paper written by him is among those which have been preserved : "Nathaniel Putnam, senior, being desired by Francis Nurse, Sr., to give information of what i could say concerning his wife's lile and conversation. I, the above said, have known this said aforesaid woman forty years, and what I have observed of her, human frailties excepted, her life and conversation have been to her profession, and she hath brought up a great family of children and educated them well, so that there is in some of them apparent savor of godliness. I have known her differ with her neighbors, but I never knew or heard of any that did accuse her of what she is now charged with." http://www.biographiks.com/pleasant/salem.htm | PUTNAM, Deacon Nathaniel (I6375)

At the Second Battle of Bull Run, Dame was taken as a prisoner but released because she cared for Union and Confederate soldiers indiscriminately. In once instance, Stonewall Jackson authorized her return to Union lines. ——- She received the thanks of the New Hampshire Legislature for her tender care of the sick and wounded in the field from 1861 to 1865. Successful teacher. As a nurse in the Civil War she served continously with the 2d Regt NHV from Apr 1861 to Apr 1865; received the thanks of the New Hampshire General Court and $500; one of the founders of the Soldiers' Home at Tilton, NH; clerk in the Treasury Dept at Washington until 78 years old. 1860 - ran a boarding house on corner of Montgomery and Main Streets in Concord, NH., ----- New Hampshire in the Great Rebellion: Containing Histories of the Several New Hampshire Regiments, and Biographical Notices of Many of the Prominent Actors in the Civil War of 1861-65 By Otis F R Waite Published by Tracy, Chase & Co., 1870 Original from Oxford University No history of the Second New Hampshire Regiment would be complete without it contained more than a passing notice of Miss Harriet P. Dame, of Concord. She offered her services before the regiment left the State, and though not quite ready to go to Washington when they did, she soon joined them there, and was ever afterwards regarded as one of its most brave, patriotic, honored and beloved members. A lady writes the author asking that Miss Dame may be suitably mentioned here, and says: "She stepped forth, moved with a great purpose, and offered her life for her country. Such true heroism is unparalleled and unprecedented in the history of any country. She was more than the 'Florence Nightingale of America,' because she had not the secure protection of hospital, but stood with our soldiers beneath the rain and fire of bullets, undaunted. She knew no fear, and thought not for a moment of her personal safety, for God had called her, and she felt that His divine protection was over all." Words are too poor and a few pages too circumscribed to do her anything like justice. Her good deeds are enshrined in the memory and hearts of thousands who, but for her timely and tender care, would be numbered with other thousands who, for want of it, died upon the field of battle from wounds, and in hospital from disease incident to the exposures and hardships of war. Rev. J. W. Adams, Chaplain of the Second from December, 1863, furnishes the following beautiful tribute to Miss Dame : My personal acquaintance with Miss Dame commenced in the winter of 1863, when I received my commission, and joined the renowned " Old Second," at Point Lookout, Md. Even then her praise was in all the New England Regiments. Many who had unexpectedly pectedly recovered from sickness and wounds, had arisen from the sufferer's cot to call her blessed. The exploits of heroic men were not related with more enthusiasm, nor with half the satisfaction with which her deeds of sympathy were rehearsed. Her name could hardly be mentioned in a New Hampshire regiment without calling forth the response, " I owe my life to Miss Dame." Though nominally connected with my regiment, our boys were not permitted the entire monopoly of her fame. All the Granite State regiments in the armies of the Potomac and James spoke her name and referred to her acts with equal pride. I have heard them tell how she toiled day after day on the bloody field of Gettysburg, sometimes, during the battle, between the lines, and once a prisoner in the hands of the enemy, still absorbed and self-forgetful, devoting herself to the relief of our wounded men. And when the darkness of night, and the exhaustion of her energies made rest imperative, she would pillow her head upon the gory field, and sleep amid the dead and wounded scattered around her. During the winter of 1863 she had charge of the New Hampshire Soldiers' Relief Rooms in Washington, from which she frequently went forth on tours of inspection, that she might the more judiciously distribute the substantial aid and comfort directed to this channel, from the good people at home. When the Army of the James was organized for the campaign of 1864, she arranged to leave her charge in Washington, and follow its destinies. She was a better general than McClcllan, for she always managed to have a good stock of supplies, and was ready to move at a moment's notice. She also had the rare faculty of arranging the forces under her charge, and of leading off in the execution of her own plans. She was an incessant worker herself and kept every body around her at work. If she were to frame a ritual, she would be quite sure to have in it something like this: "From empty titles and hollow pretensions, — Good Lord deliver us. From kid-gloved nurses who stand by the bedside of human suffering, merely simpering, my good fellow I pity yon, — Good Lord deliver us." During the sanguinary conflict at Cold Harbor, she established herself at White House, rendering great service to our soldiers, who suffered severely. It was here that Capt. Smith died, and here too, a few days after the original volunteers of the Second embarked for home to be mustered out, leaving the re-enlisted veterans and recruits to add new luster to the fame already achieved by this noble regiment. Miss Dame remained with us, caring for our sick and wounded, until we all swung around in front of Petersburg. In the Eighteenth Army Corps field hospital, at Broadway Landing, she could be seen to advantage — one moment distributing garments, comfort.bags, cordials, &c., from her private tent, at another moving under the large cooking tent, surrounded with delicate and substantial articles of diet, and the large kettles steaming with wholesome and palatable food in a state of preparation. This tent was her throne; but she did not sit upon it. From this place she issued her orders, dispatched her messengers, and distributed luxuries to thousands. Here she not only ruled with system, but with sleeves rolled up, toiled harder than any of her assistants. In visiting my sick men in the hospital, and in procuring such articles of comfort as were necessary to keep the partially indisposed from following them, I had occasion to call on Miss Dame quite frequently. Her first inquiries would generally be — "Well Chaplain, how are the boys at the front? Are any of them sick? When are they going to got their pay? Is there anything I can send them that will do them good?" Many a can of condensed milk, beef tea, preserved fruit, with Jamaica ginger, blackberry syrup, farina, corn starch, and under garments for thoae who had none to change, stockings, mittens &c., &c., have I received from her to distribute among the feeble ones who did not wish to leave the front, and who had not seen the paymaster for six or eight months. She understood the importance of having the soldier keep up his correspondence with home ; and the destitute never lacked for a postage stamp to forward his missive, if she could supply it. After having compassed the rebel capital on all sides daring her three years of active service on the field, and in the hospital, it was her privilege to join our regiment soon after it entered the city of Richmond. And right well she enjoyed it, for a more patriotic heart than her’s never beat. But even now, and here, her ministrations were needed, and were cheerfully offered. When the excitement of war had passed away and no longer quickened the pulse or braced the nerve, many of our men found themselves victims of chronic diseases and broken-down constitutions. Many a soldier who had for three years looked wistfully toward home, and now confidently expected to reach it in a few weeks, or months at most, must lie down upon the bed of sickness, and turn his face the other way to follow the beck of Death, who was still busily engaged in opening graves in the distant South. From her headquarters at our regiment, she visited our own men, and those of other regiments, cheering the sick and desponding by her presence, and alleviating distress by skillful nursing, and substantial benefactions. On the 10th of July, 1865, our regiment was sent by cars to Fredericksburg. Miss Dame accompanied us. Owing to the destruction of the track, we were left as night came on, two miles below the city. The sick men occupied one freight car, Surgeon Stone and myself another, and Miss Dame, among piles of baggage, made her home in the third. But she seemed to think she was highly favored to have a rude freight car so much to herself, and was only anxious to make the sick ones as comfortable as possible. One man she sent to the nearest farmhouse for milk and other things that were needed, and others in other directions, so that the hospital was soon in tolerable running order. From Fredericksburg she went to Washington ; and soon returned with fresh supplies, to resume her duties. On the 27th of July, after the headquarters of the regiment had been moved to Warsaw Court House, she took the steamer for that place, where in a few weeks she finished the prosecution of her mission in person. The question is sometimes asked, " Was there not something indelicate in such familiar association with society composed entirely of men? And did she not subject herself to insult from the rude soldiery? " It is wholly gratuitous to say that the military authorities would have shielded her. She had no need of this. Her devoted spirit, discreet bearing, and holy mission, were all the protection she needed. A mother could be no safer with her children, nor a sister safer with her brothers, than was Miss Dame among the New Hampshire soldiers. If wo may suppose that one could be so thoughtless, as by word or deed to offend, a single word from her would have put every sword and bayonet of the command between her and the offender; and diminish his chances of life, by as many times as there were men in the command. Two or three times during the war, her tent, with most of her personal effects, was destroyed by fire, by which, and in other ways, she sustained a loss of hundreds of dollars. Of hardships, dangers, and losses, she never complained. But she was always ready to complain far the needy, and those who were recreant, as the agents of other's charities. The State has given but a faint expression of its obligations to this most practical and efficient of all its heroic female representatives in the War of the Rebellion. She deserves a monument, but does not need one. Her noble deeds are engraved upon the memories of thousands, whose children and children's children will rehearse them as among the most beautiful that adorn, the annals of our military hIstory.,,, | DAME, Harriet Patience (I1334)

| 4287 | Never married. —— Forster was returned as Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for Northumberland at the 1708 British general election. In 1709 he and his aunt, sold the indebted estates to his aunt's husband, Bishop Crewe, and were left with very little of the proceeds. In 1710 he voted against the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell. At the 1710 British general election he was returned again himself for Northumberland in a contest and tried unsuccessfully to return Tory candidates at Berwick-upon-Tweed and Morpeth. He was listed as one of the ‘Tory patriots’ who had opposed the continuation of the war, and one of the ‘worthy patriots’ who had helped to detect the mismanagements of the previous ministry. He supported the efforts of the Earl of Hertford and James Lowther, both Whigs, in carrying forward a bill to regulate trade on the border with Scotland. On 18 June 1713, he voted in favour of the French commerce bill. He was returned again at the 1713 British general election but was inactive in Parliament. He was returned as MP for Northumberland at the 1715 British general election but his activities were diverted into supporting the Jacobite cause. | FORSTER, Lord Thomas MP (I39903)

Before Sarah Good was executed, Rev. Noyes asked her to confess. Her famous last words were, “I am no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink.” He is also said to have said on the last mass execution day, September 22: “What a sad thing it is to see eight firebrands of Hell hanging there.” Later in life Rev. Noyes never repented his part in the witchcraft persecutions and didn’t sign any documents asking for forgiveness. | NOYES, Rev Nicholas (I47298)

| 4294 | Nicholas Shapleigh served his father for seven years after becoming 21 years of age. He resided on the farm which formerly was owned by his great-uncle, at Sandy Hill, in that part of Kittery, now Eliot, Maine. In 1706 he was captured by the Indians who ambushed them and killed his father John. Nicholas was carried to Canada as a captive. He was tortured, had his fingers cruelly amputated, and then seared with hot tobacco pipes. He was later ransomed and returned home. He later served in the Indian Wars. "He was several years a Major in the militia and a justice of the peace in 1733, and held several civil offices. He was one of the six original members of the Congregational Church at Eliot (the upper parish of Kittery), which was organized 22 June 1721.

Tufton represented Peterborough in 1601 and Kent from 1624 to 1625 as Member of Parliament.

| 4296 | NICHOLAS, Kittery, s/o Alexander, born in England, a man of eminence was first of Portsmouth, sold his estate there in Dec. 1644, chosen Treasurer of the Province of Maine 1649, captain in 1653, major in 1656, superseded in 1663 by William Phillips, being in 1662 a magistrate next to the right worshipful Henry Josselyn. He had wife, Alice, no. children, went home probably seven years later, and lived long, yet came not again to our side of the ocean, I presume, but died in England 1681 or 2. His name is not included with. those the royal commissionners honored in giving office, who might seem to prove his absence though special reason may be, his tenderness for Quakers. ----- Alexander's son, Major Nicholas Shapleigh (1618-1682), for whom the Town of Shapleigh was named, had no children, but brought from England and raised his nephew John Shapleigh, s/o his brother, Alexander, Jr. who died quite young. "Noted for his ability in public life and for his hospitable nature and tolerance for those not always in favor with others, he early became a distingushed man in the Province of Maine." An article in the Boston Globe indicated that the first cup of tea made in this country was brewed on the Shapleigh Estate in Eliot, Maine, in the 1600s. This was indeed Sandy Hill (Kittery), and probably was as early as 1636. Nicholas Shapleigh had a grist mill on Sturgeon Creek, about a mile away from Sandy Hill. Still today can be seen the remaining timbers of Major Nicholas Shapleigh's sawmill and gristmill, preserved for over 300 years by the salt waters. "When York and Kittery were taken into the Bay Government (Massachsetts), the "bounds of Yorke and Kettery were laid out by Nico Shapleigh...." On28 May 1659 Capt Nicholas Shapleigh and three others were appointed to lay out Scarborough, Falmouth, and Saco bounds. "At the time that Maine submitted to the governance of Massachusetts,with others of Governor Godfrey's counsil, he contended violently with the Massachusetts commisssioners in opposition to submitting to that Province, but as most of the people had yielded, Godfrey, Shapleigh, and most of the other members of the council signed a submission in 1652. "Despite his opposition to Massachusetts governance and he being far from a supporter of the Puritan faith (then the established religion of Massachusetts), Massachusetts appointed him as collector of the Province of Maine, Shire or County Treasurer. On 27 May 1663, the Massachusetts court met to "conferr the power of Major upon Captain Nico Shapleigh, for ordering of the militia in the county of Yorke..." Nicholas Shapleigh was evidently of the established Church of England, however, he appears to have had a strong leaning toward the Quakers and was at times considered to be one of them by the authorities of Massachusetts. In 1669 he and two others (one of them the town clerk), elected by the people selectmen of the town, were all removed from office on the charge of being Quakers, and the town was required to elect others. Less than a mile from the town site is a bronze plaque marking the site of the Signing of the Submission (to Massachusetts territorial rule), in1652. Major Nicholas Shapleigh was a signer of that document. From Shapleigh Family Association website: On 21 Feb 1676 Maj Richard Waldrene and Nicholas Shapleigh, were appointed a committe to "treat with the Eastern Indians for Peace." "In 1678, Nicholas Shapleigh, Captain Champernoon and Captain Fryer of Portsmouth were appointed by Massachusetts to settle a peace with Squandoand all the Sagamore upon the Adroscoggin and Kennebec rivers. They met the Indians at Casco and entered into articles of peace 12 April 1678. This treaty put an end to the distressing Indian wars which had existed three years and had greatly reduced the number of inhabitants." Major Nicholas Shapleigh was killed at the launching of a boat at John Diamond's shipyard in Kittery in 1682. His widow Alice, his deceased sister's three daughters, and his deceased brother Alexander's son John, were all heirs to his estate. His property consisted principally of land and mills. From Families of Old Kittery, Maine: "Nicholas, s/o Alexander Shapleigh, who built the first house atKittery Point, was one of the most prominent men of old Kittery. Heserved as one of the Provincial Councillors from 1644 to 1652 with theexception of one year. He was also County Treasurer and one of theCommissioners to hold the first term of Court in York County, in June,1653. He was several times on the Board of Selectmen and Deputy to theGeneral Court. He was appointed, in 1656, Major in the Militia. AsJustice of the Peace he was qualified to marry, and once, in 1660, he waspresented at Court for marrying Capt. John Mitchell and Widow SarahGunnison before their bann publication. He gave sympathy andentertainment to the early Quaker preachers, for which he, with two otherSelectmen, was deposed from office and disfranchised. Yet he wasafterward elected as Deputy. In 1667 he had command of the Militia inMaine and in 1678 was one of the Commissioners to conclude a peace withSquando and the Sagamores on the Androscoggin and Kennebec rivers. He wasextensively engaged in lumbering and milling, owning with others mills onSpruce Creek, Cammock's Creek and Sturgeon Creek. He had a long lawsuitwith Hugh Gunnison about sale of land at Kittery Point, the record ofwhich in the Supreme Court at Boston has been published in the MaineHistorical Collections. He was in 1674 imprisoned and fined two hundredpounds for the offense that, to use his own words, "I did inconsiderately and out of foolish pity receive and conceale William fforrest and two others being in a sudden hurry, my compassion overcoming my reason."These fugitives were accused of piracy. His sister, Katharine Hilton, sent in a touching petition that he be released, reminding the Court that "38 years since, in a time of great scarsity, in this land, our father layd out a good estate, for the supply of this Country, & the setleing some part of it, & in a seas/o there want supplyed them soe reasonabley with provisions, that it was thankfully accepted and acknowledged by the Authority then in being." He was at one time owner of Sebascodigan Island, off the coast of Harpswell. The town of Shapleigh was named in honor of him, he having once bought that township of Francis Small. He was killed at the launching of a vessel at the shipyard of John Diamond, at Kittery Foreside, 29 April 1682. A spar struck him on the head as the vessel moved. The early prosperity of Kittery was due as much to this man as to any other. He left no children, and his nephew, John Shapleigh, inherited his estate. The farm at "Sandy Hill" has been held by a Shapleigh ever since about 1636.«s3» | SHAPLEIGH, Nicholas (I18767)

Oh.; Cranmor is 35, b. Oh. This Richard might be the one in this family because Richard's brother Samuel has a number of ties to the Cranmer family in Marion Co., Oh.

| 4338 | Notes for Margaret Smith: Also see notes for Sally/Sarah H atch). Joan believes Margaret was William's first wife. She is buried in Dodge Co. MN (from Minnesota death record book @ MN Genealogical Society) and must have come with him from Indiana as did most of the children (see Elbert Tilden "History of Dodge County", appended). Nothing else is known about Margaret at this time. (Joan has never found her in census records in Ohio, Indiana or Mi nnesota). In Etta's diaries she once said her grandmother (who would be Mary T ilden Wright) was born in Pennsylvania, I think she means her great-grandmother (Margaret Smith). 1999 update: Joan received a copy of HISTORY OF CONCORD 1 854-1994 from Neil Wheeler a resident of West Concord, MN. (His name was given to Joan the secretary at the Baptist church in West Concord). This booklet (u npublished) was originated by Flossie Embury in 1954. The first settlers to Do dge County apparently came in 1854 and founded Mantorville (County Seat). Fift een of this original group moved on to (what is now) Concord and built a log h ouse for James M. Sumner, the first permanent dwelling in Dodge County. Refere nce is made to a book, THE HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY, MINNESOTA, published in 18 84 and written by H.A. Smith. Mr. Smith's father, A.N. Smith was one of the wa gon train members. The Smiths' and other members of this group came from New Y ork and Pennsylvania and had been gradually moving westward. Is it possible th at Margaret Smith is related to these Smith's and part of the reason the Tilde n's came to Dodge County? (see note above on birthplace of Margaret). Addition al information from this booklet is in the appendage of this history. Margaret Smith is listed in the MN 1860 death records (Dodge County). | SMITH, Margaret (I3556)

His house was in "Rocky Nook," Kingston, Plymouth, MA, Plymouth Co MA, and was the nearest building, now standing, to the site of the dwelling house of Elder Thomas Cushman. | CUSHMAN, Thomas (I17647)
|
| 4340 | Notes of Henry Wyles Cushman: His father, also Elisha, died when his son was a young boy. He was apprenticed to learn the carpenter's trade, at which business he labored until about his twentieth year, at which time he professed to be converted to God, and united with the Baptist Church in Kingston, Plymouth Co, MA, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. Samuel Glover. He soon began to take a deep interest in religious labors, and felt a strong impulse to engage in the work of the Christian ministry. After a somewhat protracted struggle, under a sense of incompetence and other hindrances, he finally yielded to the convictions of his mind and was licensed by the church in Kingston, Plymouth, MA, to preach the gospel of Christ. His education was mostly self-acquired, though he studied for a short time with his pastor, but never enjoyed the advantages of collegiate instruction. He preached in the neighboring villages, and supplied the Baptist church in Grafton with much acceptance for about a year. From that place he went to Providence, RI, about the year 1811, and assisted "Father Cornell" in preaching for a few months. Thence he went to Hartford, Conn., and after preaching in that city for a short time he was invited to the pastoral care of the First Baptist Church, which invitation he accepted, and was ordained as pastor of that body, June 16,1813. The ordination sermon on that occasion was preached by Rev. Stephen Gano, D. D., of Providence, RI, who became acquainted with him while in that city, and was his fast friend while he lived. He remained as pastor of the church at Hartford, until 1825, having gained the esteem and affection of all classes of citizens. His ministry was highly successful, two hundred and thirty-five having been added to the church at Hartford, which was more than double its former number. Many of those whom he baptized in that city still survive, occupying prominent positions in the community, and bear testimony to the fidelity and affection of their former pastor. His pastorate in Hartford also gave him a somewhat intimate and conspicuous relation to the progress of the Baptist denomination throughout the State of Connecticut. He was almost continually called to attend councils, ordinations, the constituting of churches, and similar services, in all parts of the State. He bore a prominent part in organizing the Connecticut Baptist Missionary Society in 1814, and was its Corresponding Secretary until 1822, when that society was reorganized under the name of the Connecticut Baptist Convention, of which he was a prominent trustee until he removed to Philadelphia, in 1825. He was subsequently President of that Convention from 1830 to 1834, inclusive, during his pastorate at Stratford. He was thus so intimately connected with the Baptist denomination in Connecticut, that the memory of his person and labors still remains fresh and pleasant among most of the older members of the Baptist churches in every section of the State. From the year 1800 to 1815 the larger body of the clergy of New England, especially the Congregational clergy, being conservative in their views and principles of government, sympathized with the Federal party, as it then existed. They were, therefore, opposed to the administrations of Jefferson and Madison, and consequently to the war with Great Britain in 1812,which grew out of the policy of the Democratic party of that day. The Baptist denomination was usually an exception, and being more radical and progressive in their views of government, generally, favored the administrations of those Presidents. Although not a politician, as we usually understand the term, and abstaining entirely, as every good and judicious minister of the gospel should, from political action and controversy, yet we infer that his sympathies and principles of government coincided with the Democratic party, as did his denomination generally. In the year 1813 a company of United States soldiers had been enlisted at Hartford, Conn., and had received orders to march to the scene of war on the northern frontier. It was a proper time for religious services and devout meditations. As they were about to depart they assembled in the Baptist church in Hartford, and a sermon was preached to them by Rev. Mr. Cushman, which, for ability, Christian principles and sound advise is rarely exceeded by any one. | CUSHMAN, Rev Elisha (I24430)

| 4342 | Notes of Henry Wyles Cushman: The first 11 years of his life were spent in his native city, where he attended school, first in the "Centre District," and afterwards at the Hartford Grammar School, then taught by Mr. Holland, who subsequently became Professor of Languages in Trinity College, in that city. In 1824, he removed with his father's family to Philadelphia, where he pursued his studies for a time at a academy, kept by the Rev. Mr. Ballantyne. For a short period he was there employed as a sort of clerk in the depositary of the Baptist General Tract Society, and afterwards in a mercantile house in Market street. In 1829, his employee (sic) having relinquished his business, he returned to Connecticut (whither his father had removed a few months previously), and was employed for a time in the store of a merchant in Bridgeport. Feeling a desire, however, to become acquainted with the printing business, early in the year 1831, he went to Hartford and entered the service of Mr. Philemon Canfield, then publisher of the "Christian Secretary," and proprietor of an extensive book-printing establishment. In 1834 he attained the age of 21, but remained in the employ of Mr. Canfield until the Spring of 1836. In March of that year, in company with Mr. Isaac N. Bolles, he commenced the publishing and editing of the "Northern Courier," afterwards called the "Hartford Courier," a political newspaper. In this business he continued, enlarging the paper with each successive year of its existence, until the autumn of 1839. Previous to his however (in March 1838), at the request of a large number of the Baptists of Conn., he had recommenced the publication of the "Christian Secretary," the Baptist paper of that State, which had been discontinued a few months before by the transfer of its subscription list to another paper in New York. This arrangement was unsatisfactory to the Baptist denomination in Conn., and Mr. Cushman was induced to revive the "Secretary," arranging at the same time for his father to remove from Plymouth to Hartford, for the purpose of taking the editorial charge. His father's declining health, however, soon threw the care of the paper upon his own hands, and after the death of his father (in Oct. 1838), he continued the publication of both papers, with the assistance of the Rev. Robert Turnbull, then pastor of the South Baptist Church, Hartford, in the editorial department of the Secretary. In the autumn of 1839, Mr. Cushman became converted to God, and united with the First Baptist Church in Hartford. Finding the editorial charge of the Courier no longer congenial with his feelings, he relinquished his connection with that paper, and devoted himself for a few months to the publishing and editing of the "Secretary" alone. But he soon had his thoughts turned towards the work of the gospel ministry. The views of his brethren in the church coincided with his own feelings in this respect, and in April, 1840, he was licensed by the church to preach the gospel. During most of the following summer he supplied the pulpit of the Baptist church in Willington, Conn., residing, however, in Hartford, and continuing the publication of the "Secretary." But in Sept. of that year, having received and accepted the unanimous invitation of the church in Willington to assume the pastoral office with him, he transferred the paper to other hands, and removed to that town. His ordination as pastor of the Willington church took place 30 Sept. 1840; the Rev. J. S. Eaton, of Hartford, preaching the sermon, and Rev. Robert Turnbull, then of Boston, giving the charge. Here Mr. Cushman remained for nearly five years, receiving constant and abundant tokens of affectionate regard from his people, and enjoying much prosperity in his work. Seventy-one members were added to the church during this period. In April 1845, having suffered from declining health, and finding his strength inadequate to the labor required in so widely extended a parish, he resigned his pastorate in Willington, and in August following took up a temporary residence in Hartford. Upon the occasion of his resignation the following action was taken by the church: "Willington, April 19, 1845. "Whereas, This church have with emotions of sorrow and deep regret received from your beloved pastor, Rev. Elisha Cushman, his resignation of the pastoral office; and whereas, it appears from his communication and from other evidences, that his health is so much impaired as to render it necessary for him to suspend his ministerial labors to a great extent for the present, and that he feels that his bodily health in future will not be sufficient to perform so much labor as is necessary amongst us, therefore, "Resolved, That we accept the resignation of Mr. Cushman. And now that he is about to leave us, we can truly say that we most earnestly and affectionately commend him to the Christian sympathy and fellowship of the Christian community, and especially to such church and people as he may be hereafter connected with; humbly and devoutly praying that the Great Head of the Church may restore to him his wonted health and strength, and direct his steps to some field of usefulness in the gospel ministry, and that he may yet be made the happy instrument of turning many more from sin to righteousness. "Resolved, That we feel constrained to bear testimony, that since Mr. Cushman has been with us (about five years), his faithful and able ministrations as a gospel minister, his meek and amiable deportment, and his untiring efforts to promote pure and undefiled religion, to make peace, and build up the Redeemer's cause in our midst, have greatly endeared him to us, and we part with him with reluctance, but with entire confidence that he has been governed, in taking the course he has, by a strict sense of duty to his divine Master and to us. "Resolved, That the foregoing be entered upon the records of this church, and that the clerk be directed to present Mr. Cushman with a copy of the same. By order of the church. "S. D. MERRICK, Chh. Clerk." After residing in Hartford for a few months, Mr. Cushman's health became much recruited, and he was able to supply churches in that vicinity during most of the following winter. In June, 1846, he went to the village of New Britain, about nine miles from Hartford, rather as an experiment, to test his ability for constant preaching, and continued to minister to the Baptist church in that place until the following spring. In April 1847, he was called by the Baptist church in Deep River, Conn., to become their pastor, which call he accepted and has continued his ministry in that place up to the present (1854-55) time. Since his connection with the Deep River church, about 80 have been added to its membership by baptism. For a number of years past he has been elected to the Secretaryship of the Connecticut Baptist Convention, which office he still holds. As a preacher of the gospel, Mr. Cushman is uncommonly successful and popular; one of the best evidences of which is the large number that have "taken up the cross"--have been baptized and united with the church under his ministry. He loves the work in which he is engaged. He is devoted to its cause. He feels that the highest interests of humanity are, to a considerable extent, dependent on the zeal and enthusiasm of faithful and true ministers of "Jesus the Saviour." Hence he is willing to "work on, work ever" in the service of his master, and hence the abundant success that has crowned his labors. But one of his sermons has been printed. As that is on a subject which he considers of the highest interest and importance, and one which has been too much neglected--and as we consider it an eloquent and ably written discourse--we give a few extracts which will show, not merely the sentiments of the author, but also his ethical and logical powers, and his zeal, eloquence and ability as a writer. | CUSHMAN, Rev Elisha (I24427)

Deceased was born 7/11/1829, near Georges Creek, Fayette Co, but moved with her parents when young to a farm near Flatwoods and remained near here the balance of her life. She was a daughter of Ruben and Jane Sutton, both of whom are dead. On 9/5/1844 she was united in marriage with John B Blair, from which union there were born 14 children, five of who are dead. Those that survive her are: Christena, wife of Jonathan Shaffer; Olen Sutton Blair; Paulina, wife of John W Lynn; Annie Bell wife of John F Clark; Ulysses Grant Blair; Setturah, wife of Dr L T Russell; Malissa, wife of Andrew L Carson; Avaleen Dunn Blair, and Joy T, wife of Jas A Wells. Deceased was left a widow 25 yrs ago with the care of 7 children, most of whom were small. She was always known as a loving, industrious wife, and a kind and indulgent mother. Well might those children rise up and call her blessed, for with the care and protection of those little ones she succeeded where many would have failed. She united with Flatwoods Baptist Church at the age of 11 yrs and was a constant attendant as long as her health would permit. Her husband was a deacon of that church for a number of yrs. All of her children that lived to the age became believers in Christ. Her remains were interred in the Flatwoods Cem on Sun, Aug 6th, beside her husband and children.
