Some sources identify her as Sarah Chandler, the daughter of Roger Chandler, as his wife, but Sarah Chandler married Solomon Leonard. Edmund Chandler also had a daughter Sarah Chandler. There is no contemporary record that confirms a marriage between them. PLEASE DO NOT REATTACH SARAH CHANDLER AS WIFE. Thank you. Biography Last Name at birth is apparently Simonson.[1] Moses Simmons' surname "Simmons" has been spelled different ways in the old records: Symonds, Symons, Simonson, Simmonson. Many of his later descendants have used the spelling Simmons. He was probably born about 1604. A previous version of this profile claimed, citing only online trees, that his parents were Moses Simmons and Lydia Holland. Anderson's Great Migration profile names no parents. Jeremy Bangs analyzed the extant Leiden records after Anderson and found no obvious identification of the immigrant's parents. He does, however, make the case that the patronymic naming conventions of the time and place would indicate that Moses' father's first name would have been Simon.[2] That he was of Dutch, not English, origins was called out by Bradford who in describing the Dutch who spoke English referred to Moses Symonson as the son of one who communed with the Dutch church in Leiden, and it wa because of this association that Moses was welcomed into the church in Plymouth, New England.[3] He was a "Separatist" by religion who lived in Leiden, Holland before migrating to Plymouth Colony on the Fortune (the second Pilgrim ship) in 1621. He is considered to be part of the Pilgrim Company. He was single at the distribution of cattle in 1627. He became a freeman about 1634. He married at least once, and probably twice.[citation needed] He was the father of seven children: Rebecca, Moses, Mary, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Aaron. In 1660, his wife signed a deed with him. Her first name was Sarah. She seems to have been the mother of his children. She seems to have pre-deceased him. The maiden name of Moses Simmons' wife is not known. Some sources identify her as Sarah Chandler, the daughter of Roger Chandler, as his wife, but Sarah Chandler married Solomon Leonard. Edmund Chandler also had a daughter Sarah Chandler. There is no contemporary record that confirms a marriage between them. The two families probably knew each other, as they lived in the same towns and at one time their families owned adjoining land. Benjamin Chandler, Edmund's son, was witness to Moses Simmon's will dated June 17, 1689. Moses Simmons died before September 10, 1691, the date of the Inventory for probate.[4] Several of the Simmons children married children of John Alden, another neighbor.

Thomas Wheeler Born before 9 Apr 1620 in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England ANCESTORS Son of Thomas Wheeler and Rebecca (Sayre) Wheeler Brother of Thomas Wheeler [half], Priscilla Wheeler [half], Ann (Wheeler) Halsey [half], John Wheeler [half], Deborah Wheeler [half], Elizabeth (Wheeler) Bread, Timothy Wheeler, Susanna Wheeler, Joseph Wheeler, Abiah Wheeler, Mary Wheeler and Ephraim Wheeler Husband of Ruth (Wood) Wheeler - married 1640 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts DESCENDANTS Father of Alice Wheeler, Joseph Wheeler, Nathaniel Wheeler, Thomas Wheeler, Ruth (Wheeler) Prescott, Joseph Wheeler, Ephraim Wheeler and Deliverance Wheeler Died 10 Dec 1676 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony Disputes: ' Wheeler, Albert Gallatin Jr. The Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America, Boston Massachusetts, 1914, James Savages Genealogies, and others - incorrectly identifies the relationships in this family. Corrections: 1: The Thomas Wheeler was baptized at Cranfield on April 9, 1620, and on p. 200 of the Wheeler Family is incorrectly attached as the son of Thomas Wheeler (1591-164) and Anne Halsey. He is that Thomas' (1591-1654) half brother. The Wheeler Fam. further incorrectly continues that the Thomas bp. April, 1620, married Joan/Jane Bryan. 2: There are two Thomas's who were both the sons of Thomas of Cranfield and unknown (likely different) mother's. None of the sources found indicate the name of his mother. The half brothers are Thomas (1591-1654) married Anne Halsey and Thomas (Apr. 1620 -1676) married Ruth Wood. 3: In his father's will, Thomas the Elder left bequests to both eldest son Thomas and youngest son Thomas, so it is likely that this youngest child Thomas is the son of Rebecca. 4: This Thomas Wheeler, actually baptized on April 20, 1620; married to Ruth Wood, is addressed in the Wheeler Family on p. 1-12: parents not identified. 5: In the same text p. 143, Sergeant Thomas Wheeler, baptized December 8, 1621 at Cranfield, parent's are not identified. He is actually the correct son of Thomas (1591-1654) and Anne Halsey. See the following: [Anderson, Robert C. Great Migration T-Y: 2011 p. 325] [TAG: Vol. 12: p.4-17] [TAG: Vol 14: p. 2-4] [Jacobus, Donald L. History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Volume 1, p. 662-6] Biography Thomas Wheeler was the youngest of his father's children.[1] CAPT. THOMAS WHEELER, of Concord, Mass. This "gallant and intrepid" Indian fighter was among the most interesting and important characters of our colonial period, and was preeminent among the few pioneers through whose restless daring the frontiers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony were so persistently extended. He was born in England. The date of his arrival in America and the name of the ship in which he came are not known. Several historians assert that he was a resident of Concord as early as 1640, and even before this date he was in this country trading among the Indians. The first written record that refers to him, however, is in May 18, 1642, when he took the oath of freeman at Concord, Mass. The first definite information concerning his trading with the Indians is on July 1st, 1657, when, with three others, he bought from the colony the privilege of trading with the Indians, paying there for the sum of £25. (He was with Capt. Hutchinson during King Philip's War and wrote a long account of their battle which is included.)[2] He died at Concord, Dec. 10, 1676, the record of his death identifying him fully by stating explicitly that he was the "husband of Ruth." His wife was Ruth Wood, a daughter of Wm. Wood. Whether they were married before or after his arrival in this country and if they were married before whether some of their children were born in England is not known ; if the children were all born in America it is more than probable that they were born in the wilderness beyond the reach of records. He is said to have been the brother of Timothy and Joseph.[3] __________________________________________________ | Wheeler, Captain Thomas of Concord (I128245)

| 1957 | Hugh Day's ancestral line goes back generations to Robert Day who was born in Ipswitch, Suffrolk, England in 1606 and came to Cambridge, Massachusetts in about 1634 and died in Hartford Connecticut in 1648. He and his wife Mary had a son named Thomas Day who was born in Cambridge in 1634 and died in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1711. Next was John Joseph Day (1676 -1752). Then came three Williams, William Day (1714-1777), William Day (1742-1815), and William Day Jr. (1773-1815). The latter moved to Vermont and from there to Leeds, Ontario, Canada. Hugh Day was born in about 1810 in a place called Bastard in Leeds, Ontario, Canada. He married Rhoda Day Nichols there in 1830 and there they had five children. Three, Almeda, Lydia, and William were born before their parents joined the Church in 1835. John was born and died the same day in Jefferson County, Illinois in 1837. and (Rhoda) died at an early age after they moved to Illinois. In 1844 in Nauvoo Rhoda died while giving birth to Rhoda Ann who also died. Hugh married Susannah Judd in Florence Nebraska in 1846 and they had two children while living in Pottawatamie, Iowa. Hugh took his family to Utah in the William Snow and Joseph Young Company of 1850. The group included Hugh and Susannah, their two children, Almeda age 18 and her husband (William McLellan), Lydia Maria age 17, and William Sheldon age 14. The next year Lydia married Benjamin T Mitchell. During the next 20 years they had 11 children, but only 6 lived beyond childhood. Lydia and Benjamin Mitchell's 4th child, Alonzo Abraham, married Marion Ross Young, daughter of Phineas Young and Eleanor James. And that is how the Day, Mitchell, and Young families were linked together. Hugh Day, Phineas Young, and Benjamin Mitchell were prominent men in Salt Lake City.Lydia Maria Day was the sixth wife of Benjamin T Mitchell. She was was born in Leeds, Ontario, Canada. Her parents were Hugh Day and Rhoda Ann Nichols. She had an older sister named Amanda. Her fathers ancestry in America goes back six generations. Robert Day and his wife Mary were both born in Ipswich, Suffolk England in1604. In 1629 at age 25 they were married in Kilburn, Yorkshire, England. They soon emigrated to the United States and were living in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1634. For a while they also lived in Ipswich Massachusetts at the time of his death in 1648 he was living in Hartford , Conneaut. William Day Jr was born in Rutland , Vermont in 1773. In 1796 at the age of 23 he married Elizabeth Johns of Leeds, Ontario Canada and they moved to a place called Bastard, Leeds Ontario, Canada. (That Place is now called Rideau Lakes.) A child, Elizabeth, was born in 1897, Loldica and Joel were born in 1801, Loura was born in 1803, Hugh was born in 1909, and Sarah Ann was born in 1811. William Day Jr died in 1815. Elizabeth lived until 1830. Hugh Day was only 6 years old when his father died. In the year his mother died he was age 21 and that was when he married Rhoda Ann Nichols. Her parents had also moved from Rutland Vermont. Her ancestors were from England and Wails but had been in the United states for six or seven generations. Hugh and Rhoda had six children Amanda was born in 1831, Lydia was born in 1833, and William born in 1835 were born in Leeds. That was when the Church came into their lives. Parley P Pratt was serving a mission in Ontario, Canada and several people significant in church history such as John Taylor, Wilford Woodruf, and the Fielding Family came into the church. Hugh was baptized on 29 December 1835. Rhoda was baptized 30 December 1836. After they joined the Church the headed for Nauvoo. John was born in LeRay, Jefferson Illinois in 1837. Hugh's wife, Rhoda Ann, died in Nauvoo in November 1844 after giving birth to a daughter named Rhoda Ann. Hugh married Susanna Jud in 1846 and the family went to Utah in a wagon train company lead by William Snow and Joseph Young in 1850 and settled in Salt Lake City. Hugh Day is listed as one of the prominent pioneers and settlers of Utah. | Day, Hugh (I110183)

| 1958 | Hugh Hilton, was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England on July 10, 1821. He came from a family which is said to be `the oldest family entitled to bear arms in Great Britain" (Reference: Encyclopedia Americana, V 16, p. 168). Hugh Hilton's grandfather was William Hilton of Bolton, born in 1765. He was a weaver and was married to Martha Taylor. Hugh's father was also named William, born 1796. His wife was Sarah. They had nine children; Hugh was the third. Hugh was born in Bolton on July 10, 1821. His father William was a brewer. These were very hard times in Bolton and the early childhood of Hugh was quite pathetic. When he was a young child, Hugh’s mother spread sandwiches and laid them on a shelf with his cap on it; then his shoes were put in line. At 5:00 AM he would get up, slip into his clothes and shoes, grab his cap and lunch and eat as he hurried to work. If he was late, he was whipped or sent home to stay until 8:00 and his wages were docked. He worked from 5:00 until 8:00 then had half an hour off for breakfast, then he worked until 12:00 when there was an hour off. He worked again until 4:00 and then there was a half hour off for tea; after which he worked until 8:00 PM. On Saturdays he quit work a little earlier. He could read and write although he went to school only at night and to Sunday School. As an older boy, Grandpa bought eggs and sold them on the streets, but people would always pick out the biggest eggs and he had to discount the little ones that were left and so lost his profit. Later on he worked in the brewery; when he got asthma, it was thought to have been brought on by working over so much steam in the brewery. Hugh was the first Hilton to respond to the call of the missionaries who brought the message of the restored Gospel to Bolton. He was 18 years of age at the time of his baptism, which was on February 27, 1840. On the same day a young lady named Jane Hewitt was also baptized. Hugh and Jane were married five years later on February 8, 1845. They were very active in the Bolton branch and the records indicate that Hugh performed several priesthood ordinances between 1840 and 1851. During the Bolton years Hugh and Jane had four children. Two died in England one died at sea and the one surviving child, Charles Hewitt Hilton, went with his father to Utah. Hugh Hilton was a weaver, a schoolmaster and brewer. Despite his very limited education, his small account book is very easy to read, with excellent handwriting, and gives evidence of considerable self-education. Hugh and Jane left Bolton for America, sailing to St. Louis, Missouri by way of New Orleans. They arrived in St. Louis on March 26, 1851 with their one surviving child Charles. Jane only enjoyed America for three months and passed away in St. Louis on June 18, 1851. Isabella Pilkington Frost was also a member of the Bolton branch having been baptized in 1849, and also came to St. Louis. Hugh married Isabella approximately ten months after the passing of his first wife Jane. Hugh was just slightly under average height, 5 foot 10 inches, had very dark brown eyes, black curly hair, and had heavy eyebrows. He usually wore a full beard. Their brief stay in St. Louis was dominated by their intent preparations for their trip across the plains to join the Saints in "the valley," that is the Great Salt Lake Valley. Hugh, Isabella and Charles arrived in Salt Lake City in November 1852. The marriage of Hugh and Isabella was eternalized as they were sealed in the endowment house November 13, 1855. In November 1857 the Saints were shocked to hear of the impending invasion of Johnston's army. Hugh was called to go with Major Lot Smith eastward in a effort to delay the progress of the Army. While he was away their child John Hugh was born on November 17, 1857. Because of the threat of Johnston's Army, Salt Lake City was vacated and Hugh's little family joined the exodus as they all moved to the community of Lehi, located near the shore of Utah Lake. They stayed there for four years. At this time Hugh made a beverage referred to as beer, and it is assumed that this was the non-alcoholic type. He sold this to the soldiers who were located at Camp Floyd about ten miles away. During the general conference of October 1861, the Hugh Hilton family was among several called on a mission to move to southern Utah and establish a new community near the Virgin River. The purpose of this mission was to raise cotton because it appeared that the normal source of cotton from the southern states would be interrupted due to the Civil War. Hugh, Isabella and their young family moved to Virgin in November 1861. They had two large wagons which they had purchased from the army as well as a large army tent. The pioneer world of Isabella was very demanding and she developed great skills to cope with this primitive culture such as carding wool, spinning yarn, weaving cloth, making clothes, making soap and tallow candles, and weaving carpets. She also enjoyed raising flowers for both the yard and the interior of their home. Isabella was an accomplished hostess. In 1863 Isabella and Hugh had the opportunity to entertain President Brigham Young and his party as they traveled through Virgin City. Hugh passed away 19 September 1873. Isabella died four years later on June 4, 1877. They were buried side by side and there is now a dual marker placed over their graves. Hugh Hilton (1816-1851; LCPX-S4R) is a son of Sarah Hardman, who is the sister of my gg grandfather, Edward Hardman (1811- ; LCRD-XSJ) who was born in Preston, Lancashire, England.: {dateOnly} {inPlace} {(description)} Some of Sarah's descendants migrated to USA. See details of Charles H Hilton. Some of her brother Edward's descendants migrated to Australia (including John Hardman (1861-1929). | Hilton, Hugh (I29652)

He supported the barons against Henry III King of England in 1263/64 and was taken prisoner at the battle of Evesham 4 Aug 1265[566].

| 1992 | I only have one memory of David. I was about 5 or 6 years old and were visiting from Pocatello. We had stayed with them and were getting ready for breakfast. David was shaving and I was watching him use a straight razor. He had a good sense of humor and asked me if I wanted to shave too. He swiped my face with some lather and came after me with the razor. I hollered no way and ran off. My perception is that he was a fun guy and a good father. | Christensen, David Odon (I131404)

| 1994 | I was born to loving parents on November 2, 1937 in Phoenix, Arizona, they were Joseph Edward and Nana Fontella Clark. At the age two, the family moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1939, This where I grew up and attended school. I enjoyed my mission to the Netherlands, where I served for two and a half years, I saw this redheaded girl at a party and told my friend, "I'm going to marry her." I did not know her name but a week and a half later I put a diamond ring on her finger and were sealed together at the Mesa temple Oct, 11, 1961. | Clark, James Robert (I133133)
|
| 1995 | I was the daughter of August and Augusta (Malm) Anderson. Early in life, my folks moved from Blackfoot, Idaho to Anaconda, Montana. My schooling started in the city school of Anaconda. Father was employed at the Smelters for a short time. His health would not permit working in the Smelters--he turned to the railroad for a livelihood and continued in its service all his earning days until he was 70 years of age. The family moved to Butte where I attended school and business college. Later in life, I completed the Beauty Culture training in Bozeman, Montana Beauty School. I operated in this profession for a number of years thereafter. Four children were born to us here--two girls and two boys. All were born and raised in Montana. I liked it there and was cozy and comfortable in my own home at Grass Range, Montana. I have fourteen grandchildren. Written in 1955 by Elvene when she was 63 years old.

| 1997 | I, Rosetta Welker Roberts was born on January 5, 1889 in Bloomington, Idaho to Inger Mary Madsen and James Albert Welker, I was the 7th Child. My mother was born in Denmark and when she was 3 years old her parents sold all they had and journeyed to the United States to join up the with LDS saints who were going to Utah. She had a baby sister die and burried along the trail. Her parents walked all the way as they gave all they had to help others who needed help to leave. When they arrived in Utah they settled in what is now known as 12th street in Ogden. They stayed there for awhile and then moved to Idaho areas of Monteplier, Bloomington and Benington. I was born in Benington. My father was born in Pottowattame Co. Iowa on July 6, 1851. He is of Dutch decent. He farmed for most of his life. He was a minute man and body guard for Brigham Young. He also carried the mail over the mountains to Casche Valley and had several exciting and life threatning experiences. In the winter he had to snow shoe to cross the mountains, in the summer he rode his horse. Then as of now, the mail must go through. But a pretty fair haired girl with dancing eyes and feet was the most important thing. Young Jim would take her to the dance at 8 in the evening, dance until 2, take her home, put on his snow shoes, throw the mail over his shoulder and start over the mounain. In the winter it was common to have the temperature register 40 below. They married Feb. 5, 1875. He was 24, she 21. It was the custom for the bride and groom to do the entertaining on their wedding night, so they had a dinner and dance for the whole town. They had a family of 10, 8 girls and 2 boys. The oldest boy drowned at the age of 18 months and my brother melvin died at the age of 19 while serving a mission for the LDS church in Holland. He and another missionary contacted small pox. When I was 14, I went to Montpelier to live with my sister Clara so I could attend better schools. I loved living with Tom and Clara, she was like a mother to me. I had many friends there. In December 1905, I went to Cokeville Wyoming to live with my sister Mary. It was here I met my future destiny. We saw each other first at the railroad station. Will had a big long black pipe in his mouth which did not impress me at all. But he had not yet been affilliated with our church. The next night we were formally introduced at the Character ball. Then the impression was more favorable, almost love at first sight. I invited him to a dance the next friday in Montpelier. He came, and from then on our fate was sealed. Will was baptized 1 year later and became a faithfull and devoted member of the church. Our courship continued for 4 1/2 years. During this time I was living in Idaho and he in Wyoming. We wrote letters and courted on weekends. I taught school for 2 years. On June 22, 1910 we were married in the Logan Temple. We got on the train in Montpelier and went to the Temple alone. After our marriage we returned to Cokeville Wyo and took up a homestead where we built a 4 room log house and lived there for 6 years. Cokeville was typical western town. Cokeville had 5 Saloons, a large hotel and 2 grocery-drygood stores. We also had some thrilling experiences of hold-ups, shootings, killings and bank robberies. We farmed for several years in the Cokeville area and then WW1 broke out and we sold out and moved to Burley where we lived for most of the rest of our lives. Will farmed and was also the Cemetery sexton for 23 years. In 1919 our Wilburn was born, a beautiful baby boy with auburn hair and big brown eyes. He was everything anyone could ask for. He has grown to manhood a fine and honorable man in every way. He was a very amusing little chap and very handsome too. He often heard people remark about his good looks and he really thought he was good looking too, and he ofen amusssed us with his funny remarks. One time we were traveling to Montpelier where we had a flat tire. We were out in the desert and it was hot, so the children got a blanket and hung it over a fence. He watched the other childfren and then said, "I guess I had better put my pretty little face in the shade too." We had 10 children. We lost 2 daughters in seperate fire accidents. Our 4 sons served in the second world war, and all came home safely. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 1960 and served 2 missions for our church serving the Lamonite people, also served several stake missions. We had many, many blessings through out our lives . We had sad times, happy times, good times and hard times, but the Lord was always there with us. If Grandma Rosetta Roberts were here today with us, I am sure she might say something like this... I am so thankful for my grandparents who listened to the LDS missionaries and accepted their message. Because of this we were blessed and our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have all been blessed. My life was spared many times because of blessings given to me thru the power of the priesthood. ( this is only some of the history of Rosetta Welker Roberts, taken from her life history, Joann Roberts Ingram put this into her words as she read grandmas history. Her life history that she wrote will be included, complete, in her memories section of family search. Linda Roberts Nielsen. | Welker, Rosetta (I50001)

| 1998 | I, William Carlyle Roberts was born August 16, 1884, the son of William H. and Minnie Tanner Roberts, in Cokeville, Wyo. A curly headed red faced little boy in a log house with a dirt roof and a dirt floor. It was a lean-to to the village blacksmith shop. When I was 2 years old, we moved to Rock Springs Wyo where my sister Lucy was born, then back to Cokeville where my brother Guy was born, then back to Rock Springs, Wyo until I was 6 years old. My mother married at the very young age of 16 and my father was not much older. Times were tough and one day my father and Grandfather Tanner had an argument and my father left. My mother and Grandfather Tanner raised me. He taught me how to ride, throw a rope, grand and cut out cattle, so I could get a job almost anywhere in stock country. On Sunday afternoons we would have a riding contest. We would pass the hat for the one to ride a certain horse. When the hat was passed they would call out "We have so much money on that black horse and if you get throwed, you don't get any money." So I knew I had to ride, so I did. I made as much as $10.00 in one afternoon, and that was good money, as I was making $22.00 for a whole month out with the sheep and $1.00 a day when I worked the dry good store. Always being small of stature, I became a little cocky and did almost as I pleased. When I was 14 I told my Mother and Grandfather I was a man now, and left to work in the red desert with a sheep outfit as a camp tender. I spent most of my youth working with the sheep camps and working on ranches. I had my own horse , saddle and gun - you just wasn't a man unless you had them. The best part of my life was meeting Rosetta Welker in 1905 and our 4 1/2 year courtship. Then our marriage on June 22, 1910. At the end of WW1 I loaded my family into our model T Ford and headed for Burley, Idaho. We had 4 children, Fern, Minnie, Jim and Evelyn. We drove to Montpelier and visited folk there and headed for Pocatello. When we got there a big celebration was going on as WW1 had ended. That was the first we knew the war was over. When we got to Burley we needed to buy a place to live so I went to work for the sugar factory and worked my spare time at the Dray and coal business. We lost all of our stuff in Cokeville as the government took the reserve rights because I had moved to another state. The dry ground and lambing ground was sold for taxes. We got $60.00 an acre so things were not so rosy, and to think Mother took it all as it came and never complained and raised our family on what we had. Over the years I farmed in several places around Burley and earned what I could. I became the sexton of the cemetery for $124.00 a month which was good wages. I stayed at that job for 25 years. The winter of 1927 I had my teeth, tonsils and adenoids all out the same day, and was sick all winter. The Children all said I was very cross and cranky, which was not usual for me. I became very active in the scouting program and I was one of the first to receive the Silver Beaver award in the state of Idaho and the first one to receive the Scout Masters key. While living in Mesa, AZ i was honored for 50 years continous scouting. Mother and I served on stake missions and in 1952 was called to the Sothwest Indian Mission and in 1958 we were called to the Eastern States Mission again working with the Lamonite people. While on this mission I was the oldest participant in the Hill Comorah Pagent. Inb 1963 we were living in Arizona and in March we traveled to SLC Utah for the wedding of Joann and Russel, then in April we went to conference. About this time I had 2 strokes and went to the hospital for 8 days. All the family gathered to watch me die, but when I got to heaven and the veil opened, the folks in there said,d "there's no room here", so they sent me down to hell, and they opened the veil and looked at me and said, "no we can't use him here as he raised too much hell on earth", so they sent me back to repent. So all I do now is rent and take pills. If William C. Roberts were here today with us I am sure he might say something like this: Mother and I had very many trials and tribulations and many many blessings as we raised our children and tried to serve the Lord. I am so thankful for all that I was able to do in my life and to serve others. I hope my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be pround of me. I am so proud of our children and their accomplishments. | Roberts, William Carlyle (I50003)

| 1999 | Ichabod TUPPER son of Thomas Henry TUPPER & Martha MAYHEW born 11 August 1673 at Sandwich, Massachusetts. He married Mary TINKHAM ca. 1711 in Massachusetts. He died 21 November 1748 at Middleboro, Massachusetts. | Tupper, Captain Ichabod (I50086)
|
| 2000 | Ichabod was christened in 30 December 1750, to Abijah and Eunice Curtis Stoddard in Woodbury, Litchfield, Connecticut, he was the sixth of twelve children. This was a troubled time period, when the colonies were being suppressed by the British Crown. Ichabod was twenty-six years old when the Revolutionary War was being fought. His father, Abijah Stoddard died fighting in the Battle of Crown Point, New York in Revolutionary War on 6 May 1776. He was fighting for the Colonists. Information received from Jim Barton: “In William Cothren’s work, The History of Ancient Woodbury Connecticut, written in 1850, in addition to a splendid family history and a family tree, he lists on page 785, the Record of Revolutionary War soldiers from Woodbury. The names of fourteen Stoddard patriots are listed. From this list we also learn that five died in the service of the fledgling American nation and one was wounded. But the most revealing thing of all is the list includes the name of Ichabod Stoddard, who at age twenty-six (1776) was on the sick rolls at Ft. Ticonderoga.” Ichabod married Mary Mitchell in Woodbury, about 1786. They had eleven children, all born in Woodbury, Litchfield, Connecticut. In the first edition of this book (A Window to our Past, A Look Back on our Curfew Heritage), I stated that I thought the Stoddard’s were Loyalists. That research has been found to be flawed as the following stated by Jim Barton, a family genealogist from Oriental, North Carolina will provide an explanation: “First, the term Loyalist can be widely applied but generally it applies to either those who aided and abetted the Crown during the American Revolution. The United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada maintains lists of these people, even including compensations awarded for properties lost. You can run down that lead for the Stoddard family, but I do not think it will yield much because if Ichabod Stoddard and his family moved there, it was well past the loyalist flight to Canada. “Timing of the Stoddard departure to Canada combined with the patriot history of the Stoddard’s in the Revolutionary War seems to support that they were Patriots. But as history has shown there were often different beliefs and divisions among families. “Here are a few facts I have assembled using the Canadian Encyclopedia: The American Revolution was fought 1776-1783. During the Revolution over 19,000 Loyalists served Britain in specially created provincial corps, accompanied by several thousand Indians. Others spent the war in such strongholds as New York City or in refugee camps such as those at Sorel and Machiche, Qué. Between 80,000 and 100,000 eventually fled, about half of them to Canada. The vast majority were neither well-to-do nor particularly high in social rank; most were farmers. Ethnically, they were quite mixed, and many were recent immigrants. White Loyalists brought sizable contingents of slaves with them. Free blacks and escaped slaves who had fought in the Loyalist corps and as many as 2,000 Indian allies, mainly Six Nations Iroquois from New York, settled in Canada. So, after the war concluded, the main waves of Loyalists came to what is now Canada in 1783 and 1784. While the initial influx was to the Maritime Provinces, after the creation of Upper Canada (what is now Ontario) in 1791, vast numbers of Loyalists settled there.” It is thought to be around 1805, that Ichabod and family, including his brothers, left Connecticut and settled in Bastard Township, Leeds, Ontario, Canada. Jim Barton continues, “In my mind it stems to the fact that the Stoddard’s were patriots during the Revolution. So, while I cannot give you a definitive reason why Ichabod Stoddard left Connecticut for Upper Canada in 1805, I can say with reasonable certainty that it was not for Loyalist reasons. The timing of it is all wrong. Why would a man age fifty-five, a Revolutionary War patriot who came from a family of patriots with a long history of service to the Colony, leave with his family for Upper Canada twenty years after the Loyalist influx? One thing is for certain, by 1850, there were no Stoddard’s listed on the Woodbury rolls. I wonder why? But to determine the answer for his reasons for emigration, I think one probably has to turn no farther than one word: opportunity. The fledging nation had its difficulties, New England especially. Maybe Ichabod sought new opportunity elsewhere.” EARLY SETTLERS OF LEEDS COUNTY AND THE SETTLEMENT OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BASTARD Although United Empire Loyalists, principally from Vermont and Connecticut, originally settled the Township a large number of Irish Emigrants in a few years came in, taking possession principally of the northern and eastern parts of the Township. This is where the Stoddard’s settled. The township of Bastard is located next to the Township of Kitley and Crosby in the military settlements of Canada. This township does not face the St. Lawrence River but is located next to those first settled on the river. There was another consideration. The government feared a future invasion by the Americans, in which case it would be preferable to have the officers scattered throughout the settlements, rather than all along one line. So, it was that when the settlers landed on the shore of the St. Lawrence, they drew their land by slips of paper from a hat. NAMING OF BASTARD TOWNSHIP The following account is given as to the peculiar name, which the Township received. Sometime after the settlement commenced, a notice was received from the Government that it was necessary to give the municipality a name. Elder Stevens, Sr., was appointed a delegate to proceed to Toronto and suggest a name, the understanding being that it would be Stevenstown. When the Elder arrived at the Crown Lands Office, the clerks were busily engaged in naming townships, following as a rule, the suggestions of the surveyors, or of interested parties. Coming to Bastard, there was a pause and a slight discussion. Elder Stevens was appealed to, and from modesty hesitated in giving Stevenstown, saying “that he did not know what to call it;” when one of the clerks remarked that, “as it has no father, it must be a bastard township.” The result was that it was set down on the map as Bastard. We do not vouch for the truth of the story, but have related it as received from an old settler. The following information has been extracted from a book entitled History of Leeds and Grenville Ontario from 1749 to 1879, by Thaddus William Henry Leavitt, 1879. I will include the pages where the information appears. It must be noted that I have found the events listed in the book are not in chronological order, but randomly placed as I suppose, when the information was found. Page 42 & 43, Chapter XII, Veterans of 1812-15: “Statement Showing the Names of All Veterans Who Have Proved Their Rights to Partake Of The Grant Of $50,000, Voted In Parliament In Favor Of The Militiamen of 1812-15; Leeds and Grenville. (listed among them is) “Arvin Stoddard, Chantry.” Page 43: GOURLAY’S MEETINGS (Robert Gourlay questioned the decision of Lieutenant Governor’s in banning the granting of land to Americans. This band made it difficult for land owners to sell their land.) “In Bastard, June 23rd, 1818, at the house of E. Ryerson Chamberlain … “Committee: Judson Stoddard.” Page 105: “In 1812, purchasing the mills … created by Sheldon Stoddard.” Page 120: is found a list of all the patents for land granted by the Crown up to the 1st of November 1820, in the township of Bastard. There is no Stoddard found on the list. This is a good indication that the Stoddard’s were not part of the Loyalist immigration. Page 121: “Among the early settlers of the Township were Arvin, Sheldon, Lyman and Ichabod Stoddard . . .” (Author believes these are Ichabod and his sons.) Page 121: “The Township Clerk has in his possession an interesting book of record, which dates back to 1800. At that time any settler who wished to do so, was permitted to write in the book facts bearing upon the public interest. Part of the work was devoted to family records; another portion being set apart for the registration of sheep marks. We give an example: -- ‘Arvin Stoddard, your mark is two slits in the right ear.’” Page 122: “Arvin Stoddard and one of his brothers walked most of the journey from Connecticut and settled at Arvin’s residence.” Page 122: “Ichabod Stoddard settled on the farm now owned by William Barber.” “Dr. Lyman Stoddard settled on the Gallagher farm. Dr. Stoddard left Canada with the Mormons. Nathaniel Stoddard settled at Tophy’s Mill…” Page 123: “Martha, a daughter of Samuel Seamon, married Arvin Stoddard.” Page 124: “LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS -- In January 1837, … Truman Stoddard, Lyman Stoddard … left the Township of Bastard and crossed the St. Lawrence at Cole’s Ferry en route for the Mormon El Dorado, in the far west.” Page 179: CHAPTER XLII, North Crosby. “Among the first and prominent settlers of North Crosby, were the following: -- Sheldon Stoddard who built the first mill in the Township … at the foot of Sand Lake, also erecting a house near at hand, on the farm at present owned by W. H. Rorison.” “A Town Meeting held at Sheldon Stoddard’s for the Township of North Crosby, on the first Monday in January 1829, ...” “In 1831, there were added to the township officers two Wardens, viz., Sheldon Stoddard. “The first building for public worship was a frame one, put up by Sheldon Stoddard ... “ (and others I will not list) ”It was also used as a school house.” Page 180: (The Township Upper Mills) The land was purchased from (Mr.) Sherwood by (Mr.) Stoddard. In 1817-18, Sheldon Stoddard and Rueben Sherwood built an extensive mill on the north shore of Rideau Lake …” The Stoddard family certainly was an integral part of settling and establishing the area of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario, | Stoddard, Ichabod (I36552)
