| 503 | Benoni Wright was born in Lebanon, Connecticut in 1719 and seems to have been unaffected by the Great Awakening, at least in his youth. He was high-spirited and had at least one brush with the law. An old family document recorded that “he played crazy in the hills and was soundly thrashed by the town officers.” Other remembrances label him an “original character” and “lively fellow.” Fortunately for the Wright lineage, he settled down long enough to get married. Benoni Wright and Elizabeth (Eliza Betsy) Smith tied the knot in 1742 in Lebanon, CT. They had five children – Samuel, Theodora, Dan, Esther, and Benoni. The last son was born after Benoni’s death in 1761, which may explain why he was named after his father. His mother, Eliza Betsy Wright, called Benoni Jr. the “son of her sorrow.” Benoni Sr. was just 42 years old when he passed away. Benoni’s Connecticut was deeply divided by the Great Awakening. The Congregational Church was the most powerful organization in the colony; the colonial government was made up of “Old Lights” or conservative Congregational members. The Congregationalists that attended the religious revivals of the Great Awakening were the “New Lights” – liberals. The Old Lights discouraged revivals, even passed laws to prevent them. There is no clear indication which side Benoni supported, but it’s likely that as a rebellious youth, he chaffed at authority and would likely have aligned himself with the New Lights. Late in Benoni’s life, the Seven Years War broke out, involving most of the major powers in Europe. It was oddly prescient of the World Wars of the twentieth century in that it involved not only Europe but also European colonies in the Americas and Asia. In the North American theater it is remembered as the French and Indian War. The British were the big winners in this conflict, capturing New France (Quebec) in the north and Spanish Florida in the South. Benoni did not fight, but his brothers Samuel and Ebenezer are listed on the rolls of Connecticut militia. http://www.wright-brothers.org/Information_Desk/Just_the_Facts/Wright_Family/Wright_Genealogy/Nation_of_Saints.htm#samuelwright | WRIGHT, Benoni (I46313)

| 505 | Bethia Hawes of Milford had a natural child, b. 1658, of whose paternity she accused John Baldwin, but he was ably defended and not convicted. Bethia m. 31 October 1660 Obed Seward ... [the child named] Elizabeth m. 1April 1675 Nathaniel Potter." source: [Donald Lines Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven, 1931, Vol. 4, p. 945] The witnesses in the following document can all be found in Milford, CT records, and many of them were relatives of John Baldwin, and certainly neighbors of Zachariah Whitman, whose home at house lot #32 where Bethiah was living in 1658-59. Her father died when she was about 18 or 19, and her mother had died prior to that. The Whitman's were passengers on the "Truelove" which sailed from London on 20 Sep 1635 and included the Richard Hawes family. | HAWES, Elizabeth (I46796)

| 509 | Beulah was widowed as a young woman. She and her sister, Lydia Jane Trimper (also widowed), shared a home on Clementsvale, where they each had a grandchild to raise. Beulah brought up her grandson, Clarence Wright, who later joined his family in USA. Lydia’s son, Thomas, married Beulah’s only daughter, Jane Elena Wright, his first cousin. They had a son, George, then twin daughters, Elena & Huldah. Jane did not survive their birth. Elena died within a few months, so Huldah (and probably George) were taken in by their grandmother, Lydia. Huldah died of consumption when shw was 12. Beulah was said to be a good-natured woman who loved to laugh. She is buried in the cemetery next to her husband,though her name has never been added to the headstone. | LONG, Beulah Elizabeth (I16070)

| 526 | Born about 1585 (aged 50 on 17 June 1635). Planter & husbandman who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Abigail" & settled in Boston. (On 17 June 1635, "Ralph Roote," aged 50, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Abigail). Died in February 1666 . MARRIAGES: (1) By about 1633 Mary _____. "Mary wife of Ralph Roote" died at Boston on 15 November 1655. (probably) (2) Mary (Curtis) Ruggles, sister of William Curtis and widow of Thomas Ruggles. On 14 February 1675 , "Old Mother Roote who was Tho[mas] Ruggles widow afore" died or was buried at Roxbury. "She lived not only till past use, but till more tedious than a child. She was in her 89 year." "Mary Roote," aged 15, a servant of HENRY COLLINS , sailed for New England on the same vessel with Ralph Roote, but no place has been found for her in this family (although she might be the daughter who married in Lynn). —— Ralph Roote came in the Abigail in 1635, aged 50 (Hotten's Lists), along with his daughter, Mary, age 15; his 1st wife Ann was a member of the First Church of Boston in 1639; his 2nd wife Mary d. 15 Nov. 1655 Boston*, as Mary the wife of Ralph Roote; after careful elimination he is the only Roote of the proper age and unmarried state, who could be the husband of Mary the widow of Thomas Ruggles after 1662. (Suff. I: 461) The nuncupative will of Ralph Roote mentions, as he had love and care of sonne and dau. Bolston with whom he lived, they to have all excepting ten shillings to his dau. Jeane Buttell (or Battell), and five shillings to his dau. at Lin. Proved 29 Mar. 1666. (Suff.

This verbal will does not mention his widow Mary, it was unnecessary to provide for her, as she was well taken care of by the estate of her first husband Thomas Ruggles. http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/n/e/u/Michael-R-Neuman-Costa-Mesa/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0095.html | ROOTE, Ralph (I38192)

Buried at Saco on 22 June 1671. Married by 1653 Lucretia Williams, daughter of THOMAS WILLIAMS . She attempted to marry (2) George Garland (on 10 September 1672, "whereas information is given to this Court that Geo[rge] Garland hath lately published an intent of marriage with the widow Hitchcocke of Sacoe notwithstanding he hath lately owned himself to be the husband of another woman called Saraih Mills, these are therefore in his Majesty's name to will and require [the constable of Saco] to forbid the publication & to give notice unto the said Garland & to the widow Hitchcocke that they do henceforth forbear any further proceeding therein, & that they do not frequent the company of each other until authority take further order;" the couple continued to be prosecuted for this same offense in 1673 and 1674 | HITCHCOCK, Richard (I44431)

|
| 533 | Born in Pennsylvania, he studied law in Delaware and practiced in those two colonies as well as New Jersey. While serving in the Delaware Assembly, he moved to Philadelphia to enhance his law practice and become more active in the move toward independence. McKean represented Delaware in the Continental Congress, and he was present in July 1776 to vote for independence and the adoption of the Declaration. After helping to draft Delaware's new constitution, and in spite of being a vocal opponent of Pennsylvania's, McKean accepted the chief justiceship in the latter state and remained in that position for 22 years. This apparent hypocrisy, and his mobility, made him unpopular, but he became a moderate jurist and made a lasting contribution to the Pennsylvania courts. McKean supported ratification of the federal constitution but allied himself with the Republican faction in Pennsylvania. He was elected Governor in 1799 and served three controversial terms, surviving impeachment proceedings in 1807. He was an advocate of education, moderate judicial reform, and internal improvements. Thomas McKean might have been the last to sign the Declaration of Independence, but the evidence in inconclusive. He left Philadelphia shortly after July 4 and did not return until late August 1776. | MCKEEN, Thomas (I46281)

| 534 | Born in Skippers Gut. d/o William Major. | MAJOR, Alice (I46252)
|
| 535 | Born in Switzerland County, Indiana. She had 7 children. Occupationaccording to Harold Victor Adams' birth certificate information wasrecorded as "housewife." She was 16 years old at the time of her marriageto Newton. I have a photocopy of a news clipping with photos of her parents, Mr. andMrs. Wm. J. Gibbs of Sugar Branch, celebrating their 63rd year ofmarriage. William was 85 years of age at the time of the photo and storyand his wife, Lyidia Gibbs, was 84. A copy of that is included in thefamily album. Nettie, after her husband's death in 1905, eventually lived with herdaughters: Bessie and Ruth each had her for a time. From correspondenceand legal papers, Nettie was extremely difficult to live with and causedproblems for her daughters. Nettie also stayed with her son Rexford for atime, but that did not work out either. For the most part, Nettie livedwith her daughter Ruth, running up very high bills and being verydifficult with Gordon and Richard, Ruth's sons, who were both living withher at the time. That ended when Ruth had to take Nettie to stay withRex, as Gordon and Richard were going to leave if Nettie didn't. Rexcould only keep her for a short time, then Nettie went to live withAlice. Alice signed a warrant for Ruth's arrest for nonsupport of Nettie.The judge asked to see Nettie and was told she was in far too ill-healthto come to the court, and without any warning the court adjourned toNettie's house, where Nettie was discovered to be quite healthy and fit.After learning that Ruth was supporting herself and two sons, heexonerated Ruth from the arrest warrant and the charges of non-support ofNettie, her mother. Josie Kratz, daughter-in-law of Ruth Elaine Adams Greenwood Kratz,recalled meeting Nettie when Nettie was 89, and found her vigorous,difficult and controlling. I have a copy of a Deed of Conveyance transferring ownership (for $1) ofthe property in Kingman County, Kansas, which Newton purchased 6 monthsbefore his death, to Bessie Faye Tyson, in June of 1912. The Deed ofConveyance was performed in the County of Carroll, state of Kentucky. | GIBBS, Annette Nettie L. (I33161)

Daughter,' who married prior to 1663; she appears to be the wife of Capt. Philip CROMWELL; if so, and she survived him, her name was Elizabeth. 2. Thomas; he was accidentally killed by the fall of a tree while a young lad. The cause of his death was officially inquired into by the Coroner and a jury consisting of twelve principal citizens of Dover. The verdict of the jury is recorded at Exeter : it recites how "wee found Thomas Tuttell, the son of John Tuttell by the stump of a tree which he had newly fallen upon another tree, rebounding back and fell upon him which was the cause of his death, as wee consider." 3.

| 562 | Brydges edition of Collins' Peerage claims he was first married to Agnes, dau of Waldron de Saint Clare but no evidence for this can be found.

(A shipmate's poem) Only known portrait of a Mayflower Passenger 1651, Robert Walker One of the first to step upon the shores of the new land, Edward Winslowwas elected governor of Plymouth in 1633. He was called a printer ofLondon and is believed to be the principal author of Mourt's Relation(1622) and the author of Good News From England, A Relation of ThingsRemarkable in That Plantation (1624), Hypocrisie Unmasked (1646) and NewEngland's Salamander (1647).

Mayflower Families Through Five Generations,V,General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1991. Edward Winslow was twenty-five years old when he arrived at Plymouth in1620, and he was thirty-seven when he became governor some twelve yearslater. One of only two men to alternate as governor with Bradford (theother being Thomas Prence) during the 1630s and 1640s, he was probablythe most aristocratic of the Mayflower passengers in upbringing, andcertainly in outlook (his correspondence with Bay Governor Winthrop showsa thorough underlying belief that some by birth were intended to govern). Winslow became the colony's main emissary to England, and he engaged innumerous diplomatic and trade negotiations with the other New Englandcolonies. In 1646 he was chosen by Governor Winthrop and the Bay Colonymagistrates to go to England as their representative to defend the BayGeneral Court from the charges being made to Parliament by WilliamVassall and Robert Child . At the time Bradford ended his History, Edward Winslow was still alive inEngland, and the last words of the History are "So as he [Winslow] hathnow bene absente this 4 years, which hath been much to the weakning ofthis govermente, without whose consente he tooke these imployments [thatis, Parliamentarian service] upon him," a double lament.
