| 1956 | Hosea is another one of those who's name gets all mixed up and has several variations. He has been listed as Hosea, Barrachiah and Kiah, just to name a few. I think his name was probably something like Hezekiah. In later years I think he got tired of people messing up his name and settled on Hosea. Military minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York, 1783-1821 Vol. 1 & 2. Hosea (Kiah) Barrachiah Harnden (1782) 1809-1812 Paymaster, 2nd Battalion, 4th Regiment of Artillery, Washington Co., NY From Jean Carmean: I ran across this information in my online travels> OHIO STATEWIDE FILES - Know your Ohio: Norwich --Part 3-- Norwich Settlement-- During the summer of 1817, Hosea Harnden began life on lot thirty-seven, section two, later owned by John S. Hester... NORWICH TOWNSHIP Early Beginnings http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron/townorwich.html ...The first school house was built in the spring of 1819 on the east bank of Slate run. This cabin was quite primitive, built of logs, and covered with elm bark. It measured twelve by sixteen feet in size. It had neither floor, windows or desks. A row of split oak benches served for seating, and the unchinked spaces between the logs served as windows. Miss Aurilla Lindsey taught the first term of school in the summer of 1819. Her pupils were: Phoebe Chapman; Mrs. Martha Cook (the new bride); her two sisters, Eleanor and Betsey Fletcher; Sabin Kellogg; Louisa Ellis; Mansfield and Brazilda Cook; and Hosea and Drazilla Harnden. The school was supported by subscription, and proved so expensive that no attempt was made to build another until 1824. | Harnden, Hosea Barrachiah (I6856)

| 1958 | http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=qwertyii&id=I17018 The Family of Louis Séguin and Marie Anne Raizenne Louis Séguin (8 Apr 1712, Boucherville, QC - 13 Jul 1763, Gran d Détroit, QC) married Marie Anne Raizenne (1719, QC - 2 7 Mar 1787, Oka, QC) on Sunday, 8 Apr 1736, at the Church of Our Lady of Loretto (now called the Church of the Annonciation), in Lac des Deux Montagnes (present-day Oka), QC). Louis Séguin, born 8 Apr 1712, in Boucherville, QC, and baptized in the parish of Ste Famille, was the eldest son of Jean Baptiste Séguin and Genevieve Barbeau. His baptismal entry is recorded as follows and contains the names of his godparents, Louis Reguindeau and Marie Veronneau: Lan mil sept cent douze le neuvieve jour davril, je pretre soussign e faisant les fonctions curiales dans la paroisse de la Ste Famille d e Boucherville, ai baptise Louis, né le jour précédent de Jean Bap tiste Séguin et de Genevieve Barbot son épouse. Le parain a été L ouis Reguindo, la maraine Marie Veroneau qui ont déclaré ne savoir signer de ce requis selon lordonnance. C. Dauzat ptre English translation: The year 1712, the 9th day of April, I the undersigned priest being the parish priest at the parish of Holy Family of Boucherville, baptize Louis, born the preceding day of Jean Baptiste Séguin and Genevieve Barbeau his spouse. The godfather is Louis Reguindeau, the godmother Marie Veronneau who declare as not being able to sign according to the ordinance. C. Dauzat, priest On his 24th birthday, 8 Apr 1736, Louis married 16 year old Marie Anne Raizenne in the church of the Annociation, Oka, QC. Marie Anne was the daughter of Ignace Raizenne and Elisabeth Nims, both of whom had been seized as captives in their childhood during the French and Indian raid on the New England village of Deerfield, Massachusetts on 29 Feb 1704. (As children they were originally named Josiah Rising and Abigail Nims but when baptized by the French, were given new names in honor of St Ignatius and Ste Elizabeth.) Since it is such an historically interesting story, I will depart momentarily from the story of Louis Séguin and Marie Anne Raizennes lives in order to share the tale of her parents. In 1703, the Marquis de Vaudreuil, the Governor of Nouvelle France, was convinced that an attack on the colony was likely to come from Boston. He named LeNeuf de Beaubassin in charge of an expedition, with Abenakis Indians, against the English coast from Casco to Wells. The following year, the English retaliated against the Abenakis. Consequently, Vaudreuil sent Hertel de Rouville as the head of an expedition made up of 250 French soldiers and Christian Iroquois and Hurons. On 29 Feb 1704, the small village of Deerfield, Massachusetts, situated on the Connecticut River, was raided. Ms. Elizabeth Marineau Liska, who wrote an article for The Genealogist, continues the story... The small village of Deerfield, located along the Connecticut River in Massachusetts, was surrounded by a stockade and was inhabited by several hundred people. It was February and there was a great amount of snow cover, with some habitations almost covered over. In the fort there were twenty soldiers, provided by Governor Joseph Dudley of Massachusetts Bay. During the night of February 28, the attackers, consisting of French soldiers, Iroquois and Huron Indians, approached the village. At dawn the attack was begun with a mighty war cry, surprising the villagers in their sleep. Doors were broken down, windows were broken and the victims were quickly floored by by guns and hatchets. In minutes the disgraceful victory was won with almost no resistance. After the swift massacre, the village was completely destroyed by fire. Forty-seven known per sons were killed, and 112 taken prisoners. Hardly had the sun risen on that winter day of February 29, the attackers were on their return to Canada. A few parties consisting of neighboring villagers pursued the fleeing invaders, but were unsuccessful. The return trek to Canada [over the Green Mountains and through the snow wearing snow shoes] lasted 25 days, during which 12 prisoners died because of wounds, bad treatment, or the cold weather. Among the prisoners [who survived] were a 10 year old boy Josiah Rising [born 2 F eb 1694], and a small 4 year old girl, Abigail Nims [born 11 Jun 1700 ]. Along with Abigail, her mother Mehitable and a brother Ebenzer were also taken captive. Mehitable died on the journey to Canada. The Nims home had been in the stockade and later burned with three small girls. Abigail's brother Henry and sister Rebecca were among those killed. Abigail was the daughter of Godfroi de Nismes, a French Huguenot [French Protestant] who first appeared in North Hampton, Massachusetts on September 4, 1667. He participated in Turners fight with the Indians on May 18, 1676, and was a soldier in King Philips War. He married a widow, Mrs Mary (Williams) Miller and lived in Deerfield, Mass. Mary died on April 27, 1688. On June 27, 1692, Godfroi (also Godfrey ) married the widow of Jeremiah Hull, Mehitable Smead, daughter of William Smead. Godfrey had 11 children in all. A daughter, Thankful (Munn), escaped during the massacre because her home was hidden in the drifts of snow. Josiah Rising, born February 2, 1694, was the son of John and Sarah ( Hale), living in Suffield, Conn. The first American ancestor in this family was James Rising born in 1617, and a native of London, England. At age 18, he sailed on the Dorset, September 13, 1635, landing near Bermuda. He then went to Salem, Mass. On July 7, 1657, he married Elizabeth Hinsdale, daughter of Robert and Anne (Woodward) Hinsdale of Boston, Mass. In 1662, James Rising and family moved to Windsor , Conn. where his young wife, Elizabeth, died on August 11, 1669. On April 2, 1673, James married Marthe Bartlett and settled in Suffield, Conn. In 1676, he bought a 50 acre farm for 16 shillings. A shilling was worth 25 cents. He was known as James Rysand, and it was under that name that he was buried on September 11, 1688. Of James' first marriage to Elizabeth Hinsdale, a son John was born c irca 1660. He married Sarah Hale on November 21, 1684; Sarah probably was the daughter of Timothy and Sarah (Barber) Hale. Sometime after his second marriage, John sent his son Josiah (born Feb 2, 1694) to visit his maternal grandparents in Deerfield, Mass. He could not know then that he was never to see his son again. John Rising had 18 ch ildren with his two wives. He died on December 11, 1720, about the age of 60. He bequeathed to his son Josiah in Canada (who would then be about 26 years old), the sum of 5 lbs in silver, payable up to three years after his (John) death, in case he [Josiah] returned from captivity. With the arrival of the captives in Canada, Abigail was entrusted to an Indian woman, Ganastarsis, who was believed to be the wife of the Chief of Iroquois of Ours; while Josiah lived with his captor. These were Christian Indians, and did not mistreat their captives. The two young prisoners were formally adopted into the tribe in a special and significant ceremony, presided over by the great Chief. The warrior captor comes before the Chief with his captive, and is praised for his bravery. The captive is then officially given to the warrior as a slave. The slave is also given an Indian name. Josiah received the name Shonatakakani which translated to French was il lui a ot e son village [he was taken in his village]. Abigail received the name Tatogach, for which the French translation was elle retir e de leau or elle desenfle [she withdrew from the water]. The priests of St Sulpice, missionaries at Sault-au-Recollet, considered the Protestant baptism received at Deerfield and that by the Indians insufficient, and proceeded on 11 Jun 1704 with the Catholic baptism. It was the third baptism for each Josiah Rising was given the new name of Ignace Raizenne. Abigail Nims was also baptized and given the new name of Marie Elisabeth Nims. Following is a translation of the baptism of Abigail: "On Jun 15, 1704, the rites of baptism have been administered by me , the undersigned priest, to a little English girl named in her country Abigail, and now Marie Elisabeth, born at Deerfield in New England the (31 May O.S.) 11 June1700 of the marriage of Geoffroi Nimbs, shoemaker, and of Mehetable Smeed also deceased. The child, taken at the said place 11th March last and living in the wigwam of a squaw of the Mountains, called Ganastasi. The godmother was Damoiselle Marie Elisabeth Lemoyne daughter of Messire Charles LeMoine, Ecuyer, Baron d e Longueuil, Chevalier de l'Ordre de St Louis, and Captain of a company; with Francois Bounet who said he could not sign, inquiry having been made according to law. Mariel, priest Marie Elisabeth de Longueuil [witness] Josiah was baptized similarly, and received the name Ignace. In 1712, an attempt was made to ransom the children, then John Nims , Abigails brother, came to Canada accompanied by Lieut. Samuel Williams. The children were not released, but Abigail's brother, Ebenezer , with his wife and their son were released. [By the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, prisoners could obtain their liberty if they presented a request to either the Québec, Trois Rivieres, or Montréal governments.] After the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 [nine years following the raid ], the Governor M. de Vaudreuil proclaimed that all prisoners be redeemed. Many preferred to stay in their adopted homes and it was with much difficulty that their protector, Abbe Maurice Quere, obtained their release from the Iroquois Indians. Josiah and Abigail were placed in the Catholic Mission where, it is said, they were taught in the French, English, and Indian languages. On July 29, 1715 [two years after the treaty], Ignace Raizenne (Josia h Rising) at the age of 21 years, married Elisabeth (Abigail Nims) who was 15 years old [at Notre Dame de Lorette Church in Oka]. Following is a translation of that act: July 29, 1715, I have married Ignace Shoentakani and Elisabeth Tatogach, both English, who wish [to] remain with the Christian Indians , not only renounce their nation but even wishing to live as Indians . In person [the presence] of Jean Baptiste Haronhiatek, Gabriel Tsirokas, Pierre Asonthen, Alexis Tarhi. Ignace Shoentakani, about 23 or 24 years, and Elisabeth ,about 15 years old. Both were taken at Dierfile, about 13 years ago. Maurice Quere, priest" In 1721, the mission of Sault-au-Recollet was transferred to Oka. Fr Quere was named there as the curate. The Raizenne family followed the missionary and the Sulpician Order gave them a vast property in the village of Oka. Two sons and six daughters were born to this couple . Marie Elisabeth Nims died at about age 46 and was buried at the mission cemetery on 3 Jan 1747. Ignace Raizenne died at age 77, on 29 Dec 1771 and was buried in the Chapel of the Kings at Oka. Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts, is a recreated village, much like Greenfield Village is in Dearborn, Michigan, or Old City Park is in Dallas, Texas. Historic Deerfield can be visited at its web site: Historic Deerfield -http://www.historic-deerfield.org/deerfield.html Returning to the lives of Louis Seguin and Marie Anne Raizenne..... Louis Séguin was one of the principle figures of the era. He was an army major of Vaudreuil, commander of the Oka fortification, a fur trader and owner of four concessions in the Cote de lAnse, in the Vaudreuil seigneurie. In 1752, it was at Louis Séguin's residence that the Marquis of Rigaud and the engineer Louis Franquet stayed during the inspection of the fortified posts. It was also mentioned that Louis had four servants, which was rare at that time. In the fall of 1752, Louis permanently left Oka to stay with his family in Concession #49 above Grand-Détroit, where the community of Hudson is now located. He died on 13 Jul 1763, at age 51, and was buried in front of the altar in the Oka Chapel Des Rois. Captain Lemaire (St Germain), Fr Maçon de Thirlay (priest of the du Lac Mission), and Ignace Raizenne (Louis father-in-law) all had the honor of being buried in the chapel. In 1778, Louis widow, Marie Anne, gave ownership of the family farm on Concession #49 to the Seigneur, the Marquis of Lothiniére, and she then returned to Oka. Marie Anne died at the age of 67 and was buried in the Oka local cemetery on March 27, 1787. Louis and Marie Anne Séguin had sixteen children (6 boys, 10 girls): REFN: 8932 Mariette Hogue states that he was a lieutenant-colonel in the Militia. Reference Number: 270 2 3 Event: Alt.

| 1960 | http://www.gbnf.com/GENEALOGY/jenkins/html/d0071/I312.HTM Frye Genealogy Author: Ellen Frye Barker Call Number: CS71.f947 ADRIAN OF KITTERY About 1620 in that part called Kittery Point, of Kingsweare, England, the town on the river Dart, directly opposite Darts, mouth, lived a merchant, Mr. Alexander Shapliegh, who sent ships with merchandise to Lisbon, to Newfoundland, and later on to New England. In 1635, his son-in-law bought for him a large tract of land in the province of Maine, extending half way from Piscataqua (Portsmouth, N. II.) to the Agamenticus river (York, Me.). This tract of land was named Kittery Point, in memory of the old home in England and conveyed before 1650 to Nicholas, third son of Alexander Shapliegh. With the name of Nicholas Shapliegh that of Adrian Fry appears often on the Kittery, Me., records. He was a Quaker and married Sarah, dau. of John White. His mark with that of his wife often appeared on legal papers from 1664 to 1692. He witnessed a deed in 12-7-1663, was a witness at Court in 1667, and had a grant of 100 acres in 1669. In 1664 he witnessed a receipt for a "Negro Boy named Mingoe, and a Sorrell Horse." Adrian lived just south of Sturgeon Creek in 1674 and the place was called "Frye's Point" in a deed in 1713. In 7-15-1690, "At a Court of Sessions held in York, Adrian Fry & Family were P'sented for not Comeing to Mitting." During all this period he appears on the records as a grantor and grantee of various tracts of land. On 10-12-1692, Adrian Fry executed the following quaint paper: "Know all men by these presents, that 1, Adrian ffry of Kittery in ye County of York and Province of ye Mass.

OLD KITTERY & HER FAMILIES Witnessed a deed in 1663, was a witness at Court in 1667, had a grant of 100 acres in 1669 and living just South of Sturgeon Creek in 1674. The place was called "Frye's Point" in a deed in 1713. He married Sarah (dau. of John White?). In 1692 they deeded land to son William for maintenance the rest of their lives. William was made administrator of his mother's estate 22 Nov. 1709. Adrian had probably died some time before. RE: OLD KITTERY & HER FAMILIES John White, 1604-9, was in Kittery as early as 1640. Had wife Lucy in 1670. Their daughter Hannah married Robert Allen. William Frye calls Francis Allen his "cousin." See York Deeds, VII. 107. This usually means nephew, but in this case I can only explain it as meaning cousin in the recent sense of that word, and this could be only by the assumption that Adrian Frye married Sarah, daughter of John White. Facts seem to indicate that William Thompson married another daughter of John White. Old Kittery and Her Families The lot next north was owned by Nicholas Frost, Jr., and passed from his heirs to Jabez Jenkins in 1696. North of this lot and reaching to the mouth of Sturgeon Creek was the old Frye homestead, where Adrian Frye was living, probably as early as 1663, the date when he is first mentioned as witness to a deed. His son, William, inherited the place, and sold ten acres of it, the point lying between the river and Sturgeon Creek, to Philip Pike, 4 April 1713. It was "commonly called Frys Point," and there was reserved "a burying Place of three Rod Long & Two Rod Wide fronting on Dover River." | Fry, Adrian (I6316)

But he was a dying man. His death took place on 18 October and they buried him there in the Cathedral of St Paul. He never fulfilled his vow to go to Jerusalem."

Chris Phillips ------------------ The following post from Nathaniel Taylor, 22 Jan 2004, gives the story behind the battle which caused Hugh's death: Well, it was I who first first posted the death date & circumstances on Hugh of Vermandois when I started this whole messy thread. But the 1101 date is clearly correct, because Hugh died of wounds after the battle in which a Crusader force was annihilated at Heraklea (Asia Minor) in late September of 1101. There is no mistaking the year, in the chronology of the first Crusade's aftermath. Runciman (2:28-29) does not provide a precise date for that battle, but it was one of three major failures of Western forces the Summer and Fall of 1101. See generally his _History of the Crusades_, vol. 2, chapter 2, "The Crusades of 1101." On the battle at Heraklea, he says: "Early in September they [see below] entered Heraclea, which they found deserted as Konya had been. Just beyond the town flowed the river, one of the few Anatolian streams to flow abundantly throughout the summer. The Christian warriors, half-mad from thirst, broke their ranks to rush to the welcoming water. But the Turkish army lay concealed in the thickets on the river banks. As the crusaders surged on in disorder, the Turks sprang out on them and surrounded them. There was no time to reform ranks. Panic spread through the Christian army. Horsemen and infantry were mixed in a dreadful stampede; and as they stumbled in their attempt to flee they were slaughtered by the enemy. The duke of Aquitaine, followed by one of his grooms, cut his way out and rode into the mountains. After many days of wandering through the passes he found his way to Tarsus. Hugh of Vermandois was badly wounded in the battle; but some of his men rescued him and he too reached Tarsus. But he was a dying man. His death took place on 18 October and they buried him there in the Cathedral of St Paul. He never fulfilled his vow to go to Jerusalem. Welf of Bavaria only escaped by throwing away all his armer. After several weeks he arrived with two or three attendants at Antioch. Archbishop Thiemo [of Salzburg] was taken prisoner and martyred for his faith. The fate of the Margravine of Austria is unknown. Later legends said that she ended her days ia captive in a far-off harem, where she gave birth to the Moslem hero Zengi. More probably she was thrown from her litter in the panic and trampled to death." trampled to death." Runciman cites Albert of Aachen, 8.34-40 (pp. 579-82 in the edition he cites); and Ekkehard, 24-26 (pp. 30-32), among other material on the legend of the the Margravine of Austria, etc. Nat Taylor (Research):Another name for Hugh was Hugues I "le Grand", Comte de VERMANDOIS.

| 1968 | IMMIGRATION: 1620 OCCUPATION: Riverboat pilot Martin arrived in New France with his wife, Marguerite Langlois, her sister Françoise and brother-in-law Pierre Desportes (the parents of Hélène Desportes) about 1620. Martin may have been of Scottish descent or he might have used the sobriquet if he had been enrolled in military service or had been a member of an illegal organization: such names were used to avoid detection by officials looking for deserted soldiers or in case the records of an illegal organization were seized. It is also possible that he acquired the name because he had made several voyages to Scotland as a young man. There is some question as to whether Martin was really an official pilot or not, although he was referred to as "king's pilot" in his own day. However, he did fish well down into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is presumed that the Plains (or Heights) of Abraham are named after Martin. It is picturesquely said that the "Côte d'Abraham" was the path that Martin used to descend to the St. Charles River to water his animals. His property amounted to 32 acres in all, 12 received from the Compagnie de la Nouvelle-France in 1635 and 20 as a gift from Sieur Adrien Du Chesne, ship's surgeon to Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny in 1645. This land was sold by the Martin family to the Ursulines in 1667. It is possible that this is the same Martin who was employed by Jean de Biencourt and Du Gua de Monts as navigator on the coast of Acadia, although he would have been very young at that time. When David Kirke captured Quebec in 1629 and left his brother Lewis as governor until 1632, Martin and his family stayed on. In his later years Martin fell in the estimation of his fellow citizens when he was accused of improper conduct with regard to a young girl in Québec. He was imprisoned for this on 15 Feb. 1649. SOURCE: Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online, http://www.biographi.ca/EN/ ------------- Sieur L'Ecossais This is the Abraham Martin after whom the "Plains Of Abraham" were named. Arrived from France on sailboat "LeSallemonde" at Tadossac on 30 August 1620 with wife and daughter Anne. Received concession of ground that formed a plateau where Wolfe and Montcalm fought the battle of Québec.This area is known as "les plaines d'Abraham" (the plains of Abraham). Abraham went to France after the taking of Québec by Kirk on 24 July 1629, and returned to Québec in 1633/34. He was a master pilot. On 19 January 1649, a young girl of 15 or 16 years became the first woman in Québec to be executed. It is not clear exactly what she was accused of but one possibility was "Thievery". We do know that Abraham Martin was accused of raping (indecent liberties?) with the same girl around this time. Was known as the Scotchman. He donated the land known as the Plains of Abraham, site of the battle of Québec. SOURCE: Denise Caron, "Caron Braun Family Tree", http://www.ancestry.com --------------- Abraham Martin, Galleran's son, arrived in 'New France' on the sailboat LeSallemandie at Tadoussac on August 30, 1620. His wife Marguerite Langlois, was sister to Françoise Langlois who was married to Pierre Desportes (parents of Helene Desportes who was the first European person born in Canada ). After the take-over of Québec by Kirke, they were turned over to France, then in 1633, returned to Québec. He was thus back, with his family including a daughter named Anne, working as a River pilot, ploughman and fisherman. Abraham is often noted as Abraham Martin 'dit' l'Ecossais, meaning Abraham the Scot. At this point we need to consider the possibility that there were two Anne Martins. One of them was a kid sister to Abraham and born about 1617, the other was Abraham’s daughter, born on March 23, 1621. Both are presented as both have credibility and of being the Anne Martin who married Jean Côté . Both Annes were born in Perche Province in France. Also, the assumption is held that Abraham married Marguerite Langlois in France on Oct 24, 1621, leaving Anne to have been born before the marriage in both cases. In the case of the Anne that was Abraham’s sister, she was born 1617, and would have been 28 years junior to Abraham. Her Mother would have been about 50 at the time of her birth. She could have met Jean while in France and then came over on one of the several ships that arrived from France in 1635 and at the time would have been 18 or so. She might also have came over as a guest of her brother with the idea of seeing what might develop with Jean. In the case of the Anne that was Abraham’s daughter, she was born 1621 and would have been 15 at the time of her arrival from France and her marriage to Jean. While this is possibly more credible than the first scenario, it conflicts with the data that Abraham and Marguerite had another Anne that was born in 1645. ...we will be holding to the idea that the Anne that married Jean was the one that was Abraham’s daughter, unless some other data comes to light that causes us to consider otherwise. SOURCE: Tom Thievin, "Our Cote Genealogy",http://www.thievin.net/CoteHistory.html -------------- SOURCE: Jane Goodrich from http://www.electracat.com/Linda2/f383.htm Abraham Martin, called l'Ecossais and Master Abraham was probably a complex personality. There are many unanswered questions about this man. Why did they call him the Scotsman? Of the various theories proposed, the most intriguing is based on evidence found in Dundee, Scotland. "Here lies one godly and virtuous woman, Sarah Auchinleck, spouse of Abraham Martine Frenchman, chirugeon barber; who departed life July 25, 1665. Of her age 40. Here also lies one honest man, Abraham Martine Frenchman, chirugeon barber, lawful son of Abraham Martine, merchant, burgess of the city of Metz in Loraine; who departed life in June 13, 1673 of his age 57." If the father of the man in this grave is our Abraham Martin, that would have placed him in Scotland in 1616, near the age of 27 years, clearly possible. In 1619 or 1620 he arrived in Québec with his wife Marguerite Langlois, her sister Françoise Langlois and her husband Pierre Desportes. Abraham is an unusual name for a good French Catholic of that era, although sometimes Old Testament names were used ( such as by his friend, Samuel de Champlain). It is possible though, that Abraham was of Hugenot birth. The Plains of Abraham was the scene of a famous battle in 1759. In the 17th century it had been the meadow of Abraham Martin. He had 32 arpents in all, 12 from the Compagnie de la Nouvelle-France in 1635. The other 20 was a gift from Sieur Adrian du Chesne in 1645. Du Chesne was ship's surgeon to Pierre Lagardeur de Repentigny. Master Abraham's descendants sold the land in 1667 to the Ursulines, a religious order. The Kirk brothers conquered Québec in 1629 and sent most of the inhabitants back to France. Rene Jetté includes Abraham Martin and his family in those sent back, but many references have him amongst the few who stayed on. There is no record of Martin children being born during the years of this occupation. He clearly was at Québec both before and after the Kirk brothers incursion. His son, Eustache was the first French boy child born in New France. His daughter Helene Martin was the god-daughter of Samuel de Champlain. Champlain's wife seems the likely connection between his and the Abraham Martin family. Helene Boulle, the wife of Samuel de Champlain did not adapt well to frontier living and only spent four years in Québec. She found solace and companionship with Abraham's wife Marguerite and her sister Françoise Langlois who bore the first French child born in New France, another relative, Helene Desportes. When Samuel de Champlain died he left a legacy to Marguerite Martin, another daughter to help her "marry a man of Canada", and he left money to Abraham Martin "to be spent for clearing land". Contemporaries called Abraham Martin a king's pilot, leading to the conclusion that he was the first river pilot of Canada. Although he was illiterate he associated with Champlain and Pierre Desportes, both literate and well born individuals. He did much more than just leave his name to the Plains of Abraham.

| 1970 | In Lee-Oatman Cemetery, South Granville, Washington, New York, there is an unmarked grave at the side of Jonathan's grave which is thought to be his wife's grave. As a young man, he moved to the vicinity of Hebron and Salem, Connecticut with his parents and siblings. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War. He served with the Connecticut Militia that invaded Canada in 1755. He was in Capt. Isreal Putnam's company in the campaign against the French around Lake George, Fort Edward, Fort Ticonderoga and at Crown Point. He was at Quebec in 1760 under command of Isreal Putnam. He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He saw active service as Sergeant of his company, on the march to West Chester following the "Lexington Alarm" and in the campaigns around New York City in 1776. In these campaigns he served as Sergeant in the 5th Company, Captain Ephraim Warren, Lieutenant David Waters, 11th Regiment, Colonel Ebinezer Williams of Pomfret, Conn. Lieutenant Colonel Isreal Putnam of Pomfret, 3rd Brigadier General Gordon Saltonstall (Succeeded by Brigadier General John Tyler) Connecticut Militia. He was a Sergeant in one of the celebrated Connecticut Regiments that won distinction under General Benedict Arnold at the battle of Saratoga in 1777. After having seen Northeastern New York during the campaigns, both in the French and Indian Wars and in the Revolutionary War, he moved to that locality in 1779, taking advantage of the "Land Grant" to Revolutionary Soldiers. He was one of the seven original settlers at Granville, Washington Co, (Charlotte Co. first) New York, in 1779. He built conaucted (spelled like it is in letter.) a hotel with a large hall connected with it at Granville. (The hotel burned down in 1930). Jonathan owned this dance hall in Granville, Washington, New York according to the Harnden/Edgecomb Manuscript. Originally John S. Harnden, Jonathan's son supposedly died by drowning in the Niagara River according to family legend. This was suppose to have happened about 1812. However, John S. is found in Vermont until 1830. Given the fact that Jonathan died in 1813, I suggest it was probably he who died by drowning. | Harnden, SGT Jonathan (I6846)

| 1975 | Isaac2 Harrington (Benjamin1) was born probably at Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island in the 1660s and died at Norwich, New London County, Connecticut in 1727. He married Sarah, who died at Norwich in 1744. Soon after selling his home place back to his mother, Isaac bought 50 acres eight miles outside of Providence on the southern side of Westquadomsett Brook, near the Pawtucket River from Rebecca Whipple. Later, on 31 March 1696, he sold 50 acres of this plot with a house to Samuel Wilkinson. (EPR, XIV:271). Apparently, Isaac had settled near his older brother in the Westquadomsett section and probably went on to Norwich, Connecticut in 1696. He was a weaver by trade and Norwich may have afforded him greater economic opportunities. On 7 January 1724 in Providence, the following was witnessed, etc.: "Isaac Hearnden of Norwich, CT., yeoman, ...to Robert Currie of Providence... all my right of and to the Commonage 7 undivided lands... which appertaineth to me by the last will... of my father Benjamin Hernden and again repeated & confirmed by a deed made unto me by my Honored deceased mother." Isaac made his will 3 September 1727 and it was proved 16 August 1728. It reads as follows: "Will of Isaac Herington of Norwich, New London Co., Conn." "Dated 3 Sept 1727." "Isaac, very sick & weak in body but of perfect mind & memory, etc... Debts and funeral charges to be paid by the Executrix...

| 1983 | Jcques was an army officer at Port Royal and was the brother in law of Germaine Doucet, sieur de la Verdure, Aulnay's assistant.

|
| 1984 | Jcques was the FIRST Bourgeois to come to Acadie in 1632 Served as LT of garrison at Port Royal under Germain Doucet. Jacques Bourgeois born 1621 and a surgeon by profession, arrived in Acadia in 1642. In 1644 he married Jeanne Trahan and many of their descendents were deported to Massachusetts. Jacques Bourgeois was a surgeon. He may have learned this profession in a commandery of the Order of Malta near his home in France. He joined his father and brother, Robert, in Acadia in 1641 (sailing from France aboardthe ship, "Le Saint-Francois."), likely making him the first to practice medicine in the colony. In 1643 at the age of 22, Jacques Bourgeois married Jeanne Trahan, the daughter of Guillaume Trahan and Francoise Corbineau, at Port Royal. Jeanne, who was born at Bourgueil in the French province of Anjou, was only 14 years old at the time of her marriage to Jacques. This union is the progenitor of the present day Acadian family, Bourgeois. In 1646, the Governor d'Aulnay granted Jacques and Jeanne Bourgeois anisland called Isle-aux-Cochons situated in the Dauphin River (today called the Annapolis River) just upstream from Port Royal. The English did not leave a presence at Port Royal and in 1667, the colony was ceded to France, although the French did not take possession until 1670. In the interim, the Acadians governed themselves under acyndic ruled by Guillaume Trahan, the father of Jeanne Bourgeois. By the census of 1670, Jacques and Jeanne had added six children, one son, Guillaume, and five daughters, Marguerite, Francoise, Anne, Marie(the younger) and Jeanne (the younger). In this census Jacques was the richest inhabitant at Port Royal. Also, by this time, Charles, their oldest son had married Anne du Gast (Dugas), and they had one daughter, Marie. The oldest daughter of Jacques and Jeanne was also married by1670, to Pierre Sire (Cyr), and they had a son Jehan. In addition to his profession of surgeon, Jacques was a farmer and marine merchant. His boats followed the coast of the Baie Francaise (Bay of Fundy) to trade with the Mic Mac Indians and descended the coast to New England to trade with the English. In 1671, Jacques, aided by his three sons and his son-in-law, Pierre Sire, and his future son-in-law, Jean Boudreau, founded the settlement of Beaubassin, near the border separating present day New Brunswick from Nova Scotia. Jacques and his son Guillaume, returned to live at Port Royal after the establishment at Beaubassin, although they kept farms at the new settlement. Jacques' other two sons, Charles and Germain, stay at Beaubassin with their families. At the beginning of Sep 1696, the English Colonel Benjamin Church from Boston attacked Beaubassin, which had been left undefended by the French. Jacques was enlisted to negotiate with the English contingent from Boston. Jacques obtained a promise from Col. Church that the residents would be left inpeace, but Church reneged on his promise and the soldiers from Boston burned most of the homes in the region. The Acadians of Beaubassin were forced to flee to the woods; however, the English respected the Acadians' capabilities as marksmen and refused to chase the Acadians out of the reach of their ship's cannons. Jacques died in his late 70's shortly before 1700, as he was not listed in the census of that year. In 1702, the commandant of the fort at Port Royal referred to him in an official report as the late Jacques Bourgeois. At the time of the deportation in 1755, many of Jacques' grandchildren were deported to the American colonies where they suffered greatly. Some eventually made their way back to Canada, and the Bourgeois name is common today in southeastern New Brunswick. The Bourgeois ancestors of Acadia go back to one person. Their ancestor Jacques, born in France abt 1619, arrived in the colony as a surgeon abt 1641 on the ship Le Francois. About two years later, he married Jeanne Trahan, daughter of Guillaume Trahan and Franoise Corbineau. He settled in Port-Royal. In 1672, he sent some settlers to Beaubassin and is thus considered the founder of that area. His son Charles, born abt 1646, married Anne Dugas, d/o Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet abt 1668. Charles and Anne settled at Beaubassin. Charles Bourgeois II son of Charles I and Anne, born abt 1672, married abt 1692 to Marie Blanchard, d/o Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Gougeon. Pierre Bourgeois, born abt 1699, was the second son of Charles I and Marie. He married August 18, 1722 Marie-Franoise Cormier at Beaubassin. She was the d/o Pierre Cormier and Catherine LeBlanc. The sixth of their eight sons, Joseph Bourgeois dit Calotte, was born at Beaubassin on March 10, 1741. Abt 1764, he married Felicit Belliveau, daugther of Pierre Belliveau and Jeanne Gaudet. They settled at Pisiguit and then at Memramcook where Joseph died November 20, 1833. All of the other Bourgeois families of southeast New Brunswick, descend from Germain Bourgeois, second son of the first ancestor. DC0016 Laurant Molin's census (1671) of Acadia, New France (which is today knownas Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia), begins with the Bourgeois Family and indicates that Jacques BOURGEOIS' holdings, included 33 head of cattle, two dozen sheep, a pair of oxen and five acres of land under tillage...a sizeable estate for the times. Pierre Cyr for example, owned but one cow, two sows and six sheep (Massignon, Page 944). Shortly after 1671, Jacques BOURGEOIS, who also engaged in fur trading, moved his family up the Bayof Fundy to Cumberland Basin, which the indians called Chignecto. His three sons-in-law, Pierre Cyr, Germain Girouard and Jean Boudrot accompagnied Jacques on this move. Shortly thereafter, Michel Le Neuf, a Quebecois aristocrat, was granted a Seigneurie in the area. It was he (Michel Le Neuf), who renamed the Bourgeois Settlement, Beaubassin, Acadia (Clark, Pake 141). Leo Cyr's book, indicates Jacques imigrated to Acadia in 1642, "probably from Couprans-en-Brie (Departement Seine-et-Marne), near Paris France, with 18 families that Sieur D'Aulnay brought with him on one of his many voyages from France to Acadia. Jacques and Jeanne had ten children, three boys and seven girls.. According to Janet Jehn's "Acadian Descendants" Book, the Jacques BOURGEOIS family resided at Beaubassin, Acadia (they were listed in theAcadian Census of 1698) and later moved to Port-Royal, Acadia. Her book also indicates that Jacques was instrumental in the actual development of the Chignectou Colony (in about 1672), which later became known as the"Bourgeois Colony" and then Beaubassin, Acadia. Based on the book entitled "Remember Us" (A genealogy of the MoultonFamily from Louisiana), "Dr. Bourgeois arrived at Port Royal in about1642, as the personal surgeon of Governor d'Aulmnay. Jacques became theLieutenant (second in command) of Port-Royal, on August 16, 1654. He was one of the most prosperous residents of Port-Royal and owned a schooner used to transport settlers to the new Colony". The Port Royal Acadian Census of 1678-79 lists "JAQ" BOURGEOIS and JeanneTrahan as owning 20 acres of land and 15 cattle. The Census also lists two girls, one aged 15 (born in 1663) and another aged 12 (born in 1666.These were probably Marie and Jeanne, the two youngest daughters of the BOURGEOIS. He was married to Jeanne (Anne) TRAHAN about 1643/44 in Port Royal, Acadia. (DC0016 Early Acadians-horman) \DC0016 Les Bourgeois en Acadie ne remontent qu'à une seule souche.

In about 1672 he began an agriculturaldevelopment which became Beaubassin and set up a flour mill there. Birth: "Historical Genealogy of a Branch of the COMEAU family" by Rev.James Comeau, 1960 Founder of Beaubassin. Before leaving France, Bourgeios had entered themedical profession. He came to Port-Royal in 1642 with 18 families thatGov. Menou d'Aulnay brought with him on one of his voyages, Bourgeois'father, also names Jacques, was an army officer at Port-Royal and thebrother-in-law of Germain DOUCET, Sieur de La Verdure, Aulnay'sassistant.... While Jacques Senior was returned to France, his son remained in Acadiawhere he became the ancestor of a large number of descendants, In 1643 hehad married Jeanne, Guillaume Trahan's daughter, who was born in Francein 1631; they has ten children; seven girls and three boys. AtPort-Royal, Jacques became a farmer and shipbuilder. He traded with theBostonians, particularly with John NELSON and William PHIPS; he learnedtheir language, and was the interpreter for the French in their dealingswith the English. In 1672 he sold part of his holdingsd at Port-Royal inorder to settle, with his sons Charles and Germain, and twl of hissons-in-law, in the Chigneto Basin, thus becoming the first promoter ofsettlement in this region; he built a flour mill and a saw mill there. Afew years later, in 1676, the region was made into a Seigneury, theholder of which was Michel LENEUF de la Valliere (the elder), a noblemanborn at Trois-Rivieres; the new fief, 100 square leagues in extent, wasnames Beaubassin. As LaValliere brought in settlers and indentured employees from Canada, two distinct establishments adjoined each other atBeaubassin; but a clause in the title to the land grant protected the interests of Jacques BOURGEOIS and the otherAcadian settlers established on the domain; it was not long before the two elements of the population mergedinto one.... The distinguished colonist had settled at Port-Royal again before 1699;he died there, an octogenarian, in 1701. The family name was perpetuated by two of his three sons: Charles, bornin 1646, who married Anne Dugas in 1668; and Germain, born about 1650, who married his first wife,Marguerite Belliveau, in 1673 and his second wife, Madeleine Dugas, in 1682; the third son, Guillaume, left only adaughter.

| 1994 | John Dwight emigrated from Dedham, England, to New England around late 1634 or early 1635, as followers of John Rogers, the celebrated preacher. He settled in Watertown for a short time. John Dwight was one of the original proprietors of Dedham, and he was present at their first town meeting on 1 Sep 1635. As a proprietor, he was included among the signers of the Dedham Covenant. He was a freeman on March 13 1639. He brought with him his wife Hannah, whose family name is unknown, two sons and a daughter Hannah. He was a wealthy farmer in Dedham and known as an effective peace maker. He was elected selectman for 16 years (1639-1655). John was a founder of the Church of Christ, when it had its first meeting in Dedham in 1638. He was also one of five trustees of the first free school in America supported by a town tax, in 1644. John Dwight was second in line on the tax assessment roles. Savage, vol. 2 John of Watertown, removed with the first settlers to Dedham about 1635, he was a Freeman 13 Mar 1639, had brought wife, Hanna (who died 5 Sep 1656) and some children from England, as his eldest son, perhaps named John, was lost in the woods between Dedham and Boston 24 Mar 1633, aged 7 years; Hannah and Timothy. He had Mary, b. 25 July 1633, called the first female child of Dedham; and Sarah, 17 June 1638; and died 24 Jan 1661. In his will of 16 June 1758, probayted 5 Mar 1661, he names wife Eliz.

| 1995 | John Harington, son of Robert and Agnes, was an outstanding man in his generation. He was born in 1281 and died in 1347. He was knighted by the Prince of Wales in Westminster Palace. He fought against the Scots and was made a Baron and attended Parliament from 1326 until his death. He married Joan, daughter of Sir William Dacre. They were buried in nearby Cartmel Church in a magnificent tomb out from a solid block of sandstone seven feet long with their effigies carved on the top. The tomb was opened in 1832 during repairs to its screen and some of John?s bones, the bones of his hunting hawk or falcon together with a piece of his leather doublet, were removed. They are in the possession of one of his descendants in England today. By this time the family name had been changed from de Haverington to Harington. Many branches of the Harrington family descend from this John of Aldingham, Harrington is a common name in this section today. One of his younger sons, Nicholas Harrington, founded a family in Yorkshire which was, for two centuries, one of the richest and most powerful in England. However, in the Wars of the Roses they supported the wrong side and many fell in battle or were beheaded. The twenty-five manors they had possessed were forfeited to the Crown and they passed from history. | Harrington, 1st Baron Of Harington John (I8163)

| 1996 | John Harnden & Samuel Eames of Goshen headed a petition to the General Court in Boston, asking that the north part of Woburn and the west part of Reading be made a separate precinct. This was denied and the petitioners were joined in a similar appeal on Nov 26 the same year by Daniel Pierce, Benjamin Harnden and Samuel Walker; this also was denied, but a subsequent petition for separate township was received with favor, and on 25 Sep 1730, an act of the general Court incorporating the new town as Wilmington was passed. The condition was imposed that "the inhabitants" be "required" to provide themselves with a minister "within the space of three years," which was done. By 1733 John Harnden became a Deacon of the first church in Wilmington, Mass. The following is from Jonathan Lance Harnden Jr.: " John, son of Richard & Mary, b. in Reading Aug 30, 1668 - died in Wilmington Dec. 13, 1727. Married Susannah in Reading 1690. On the fifth day of Sep. 1729, a petition, headed by Samuel Eames and John Harnden of Reading, was presented to the General Court, praying the north part of Woburn and most of Reading be made a district precinct. This seemed necessary owing to the great distance the inhabitants were forced to travel who lived in the northern part of Woburn, as Woburn covered a great deal of ground. Woburn and Reading were summoned to show cause... A commission from both towns spent some days in carefully considering, looking over the ground, noting the distance, and estimating the ability of the region for the support of preaching. After five years and eight months of endless talk, the petition was granted. A bill incorporating the new town under the name of Wilmington was passed to be engrossed Sep. 25, 1730. The second town meeting was held Dec. 3, 1730 at the school house - John Harnden being moderator. At this meeting it was voted to build a meeting house 46-30120, the body of the house to be all oak, and all to be of oak but the middle principals. Deacon John Harnden, a member of the Reading Church, and James Thompson, of the Woburn Church, were made a committee for providing preaching until March and Deacon Harnden was appointed "cash keeper." The records show that he was able and trustworthy. The first settled minister was the Rev. James Varney and the same two men who in 1729 petitioned for a separate town, were also the first two deacons of the church, Samuel Eames and John Harnden." | Harnden, John (I6774)

| 2000 | John, with his wife, Ann (Clinton), and two young sons, and evidently a daughter, Rebecca, later of husband, John Watson, sailed from England for America, arriving in Boston Harbor about 1630. John, the head of the family, was drowned in Boston Harbor soon after their arrival, and before 1640, the year in which the Massachusetts Colony law was passed requiring registration of vital statistics under penalty of twenty shillings. His death seems not to be of record. The younger son, Abraham, of wife, Rebecca Cutter, and the daughter, Rebecca of husband, John Watson, both settled in Charleston, Mass., where there is record of both marriages and their deaths, together with the death of the mother, and these deaths show the relationship between the mother and the two children. The date of the birth of Abraham is indicated in his desposition under date of April 15, 1673. He was ten years old at the time of the arrival of the family at Boston in 1630 and about 12 years was then the age of his brother, Benjamin, who went into Rhode Island with Roger Williams and was among the first settlers in that Colony. He settled in Providence, R.I., where he took the oath of allegiance on Nov. 19, 1645. He married Elizabeth White, daughter of William and Elizabeth White of Boston. They reared a family of nine children whose names, together with those of both parents, appear on many pages of the public records of Providence. When John Harrington arrived in Boston Harbor in about 1630, with his wife and two young sons, Abraham, then aged 10 years, and Benjamin, then aged about 12 years, there was another Harrington boy, Robert, still in England, and who came to America some four years later in 1634, on the ship "Elizabeth," when he was 18 years old, probably at the expiration of a contract of apprenticeship. He disembarked at the same harbor in Boston, and settled in Watertown, Mass., a neighboring town to Charleston, and we find his name there on a list of land proprietors as early as 1642, and where, in 1649, he married Susannah George. It is thought that this Robert Harrington, and a brother of Abraham of Charleston, Mass., and Benjamin of Providence, R.I. As a side note early records indicate that a Thomas Hernden arrived in Boston in 1635. I don't know of any relationships to this man, but he's placed here as a future reference. As another side note Richard Harrington arrived in 1643. Other notes: Sir John and Mary Rogers had nine children whom they raised as strict Puritans. At least three of these sons named in various sources as John, James, and Henry. One of these was a younger son, called John by Cutler and other New England authorities, who was the first of the family to arrive in the New World. However, Ian Crimble states that John was the oldest son who married Dioness Ley and remained in England. Since the son who came to America was drowned in Boston Harbor in 1630 before any vital records were kept there, and since the later burial records refer to his wife, Ann Clinton, as Widow Errington, no certain proof is available. At least he was a younger son of Sir John Harington according to public records and family traditions. Ann Harington died in Charleston, Mass., in 1663. Her tombstone is the oldest in nearby Auburn Cemetery. Even more notes: (1) Hamden is a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The town's nickname is "The Land of the Sleeping Giant". Hamden was originally settled by Puritans as part of the town of New Haven. The land was purchased by Theophilus Eaton and Reverend John Davenport in 1638 from the local Quinnipiack Native American tribe. It remained a part of New Haven until 1786 when 1,400 local residents incorporated themselves as a separate town. It is named after the English statesman John Hampden. (2) John Hampden (circa 1595?1643) was an English politician, the eldest son of William Hampden, of Hampden House, Great Hampden in Buckinghamshire, a descendant of a very ancient family of that county, said to have been established there before the Norman conquest, and of Elizabeth, second daughter of Sir Henry Cromwell, and aunt of Oliver Cromwell. The town of Hamden, Connecticut is named in his honor. Also, Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia is named in his honor and that of Algernon Sydney, another English patriot. (3) Edward Winslow (1595?1655) was an American Pilgrim leader on the Mayflower. He served as the governor of Plymouth Colony in 1633, 1636, and finally in 1644. He was born in Droitwich, Worcestershire, England, on October 18, [[1595]. In 1617 he removed to Leiden, united with John Robinson's church there, and in 1620 was one of the "pilgrims" who immigrated to New England on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth colony. His first wife was Elizabeth (Barker) Winslow, whom he married in May 1618 at Leiden. She accompanied him on the Mayflower, and died soon after their arrival in Plymouth. Also accompanying Winslow were his children, George Soule, a teacher for the children, and Elias Story, a servant. Winslow remarried in May 1621 to Mrs Susannah (---) White, the mother of Peregrine White (1620-1704). This was the first marriage in the New England Colonies. Winslow later founded what would become Marshfield in the Plymouth Colony where he lived on an estate he called Careswell. Winslow was delegated by his associates to treat with the Indians in the vicinity and succeeded in winning the friendship of their chief, Massasoit (c. 1580-1661). He was one of the assistants from 1624 to 1647, except in 1633-1634, 1636-1637 and 1644-1645, when he was governor of the colony. He was also, in 1643, one of the commissioners of the United Colonies of New England. On several occasions he was sent to England to look after the interests of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony, and defend these colonies from the attacks of such men as John Lyford, Thomas Morton and Samuel Gorton. He left on his last mission as the agent of Massachusetts Bay, in October 1646, and spent nine years in England, where he held a minor office under Cromwell, and in 1654, was made a member of the commission appointed to determine the value of certain English ships destroyed by Denmark. (4) Peregrine White (November 20, 1620-July 20, 1704) was the first English child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. He was born in Provincetown Harbor to William and Susanna White, before the passengers of the Mayflower had decided where they would settle. His name means "one who journeys to foreign lands," or, more simply, it is a French and Middle English word for "pilgrim." Soon after the landing, his father died, and his mother remarried to Edward Winslow. It was the first wedding in the New World. Winslow later adopted Peregrine and made him an heir. White's name appears frequently in the records of the colonists. He was an esteemed member of the community as the first child born in New England. He later became a citizen of the settlement of Marshfield, Massachusetts, and held some minor civil and military offices. White died in 1704 at the age of eighty-three. (5) Massasoit Sachem or Ousamequin (c.1581-1661), was the sachem, or leader, of the Pokanoket, and "Massasoit" of the Wampanoag Confederacy. The term Massasoit actually means Great Sachem. Massasoit (Ousamequin) was born circa 1581[1] in Montaup, a Pokanoket village at the site of today's Warren and Bristol, Rhode Island. He held the allegiance of seven lesser Wampanoag sachems. Massasoit visited Plymouth in 1621 and negotiated a treaty guaranteeing the English their security in exchange for their alliance against the Narragansett. Massasoit actively sought the alliance since two significant outbreaks of smallpox brought by the English had devastated the Wampanoag during the previous six years. He was commonly known as Massasoit, but he was called by many other names, including: Ousamequin, Woosamequin, Asuhmequin, Oosamequen, Osamekin, Owsamequin, Owsamequine, and Ussamequen. (6) The Wampanoag (Wôpanâak in the Wampanoag language) are a Native American tribe. In 1600 they lived in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, in an area also encompassing Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the Elizabeth Islands. Their population numbered about 12,000. Wampanoag leaders included Squanto, Samoset, Metacomet (King Philip), and Massasoit. Modern Thanksgiving traditions are based on the Wampanoags' interaction with the Pilgrims. All of the previous is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia online. So, what do these 6 facts have to do with the Harnden family? Well, let?s start with John Hampden. He was a central figure at the start of the ?English Revolution? or ?English Civil War?. He was also granted land in Connecticut by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick in 1629. However, no one has been able to prove that John Hampden ever set foot in the New World. I believe Hamden, Connecticut is named as it is because of this ?Land Grant?. But, even the researchers of the John Hampden Society deny that John ever traveled to the Colonies. They believe as I do, that John was considered somewhat of a hero for the Americans, and as such many early historians tried to attach him to the history of the New World, in more ways than which he belonged. Here is what a researcher at the John Hampden Society Annual Dinner had to say on the matter: "The Society?s Annual Dinner, held this year on 24th June, was as enjoyable and entertaining as ever. Around 30 members and guests sat down to a meal that was well up to the Spread Eagle Hotel?s usual high standard, and were entertained and in-formed by a fascinating talk by Dr Maija Jansson. Making a welcome return after being guest speaker two years ago, Dr Jansson, who is Director of the Center for Parliamentary History at the University of Yale and a Vice-President of the Society, spoke on the intriguing subject, The Multiple Mr Hampdens. Described by Dr Jansson in an earlier letter to the Society as ?some myths demythologized?, this was an in-depth look at a couple of persistent stories concerning the Patriot. The first was about the ?Master John Hampden, a gentleman of London? who, according to Edward Winslow, Governor of Massachusetts, wintered in the North American colony in 1623. He may well have been the ?John Holmeden, gentleman?, whose name appeared on the passenger list of the Supply, which sailed from Bristol to Berkeley, Virginia in September 1620. This mysterious gentlemen, whose name became corrupted to ?Hamden? or ?Hamdin?, later left the Berkeley colony and may have been Winslow?s guest. Dr Jansson also dealt with the story that Hampden and Oliver Cromwell had tried to emigrate to the New World in 1638, which she believes was started by Americans who revered Hampden as a hero. Dr Jansson pointed out that it was only after his involvement with Ship Money that John Hampden became famous enough for the North American to seek to identify him with these two names. She demonstrated by listing her meticulous research that both these stories are fallacious." So, why am I mentioning John Hampden here, if he?s not a Harnden and never set foot in the New World? Well, many early historians corrupted the name John Harnden and linked it to the English Patriot John Hampden. Amongst these early historians are William Bradford, Rev. Thomas Prince, Thomas Hutchinson and Richard Mather. (A side note here; Richard Mather was the grandfather of Cotton Mather. Cotton Mather wrote of the Harnden Massacre in his diary. He had met with the family about a month or two, before they were killed.) These early historians recite their stories from the writings of Edward Winslow. Edward himself wrote his own stories of his adventures in the New World. Unfortunately, as is so common with our surname it was corrupted by these historians. That is except in the story written by the witness himself. Edward Winslow writes our name properly as Harnden when discussing his adventure with John Harnden. Good Newes from New England Written by Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow, Good Newes from New England was published in London in 1624. It is a journal of events that occurred between 1622 and 1623 at Plymouth Colony. It includes information about Tisquantum's death (November 1622), the sickness of Massasoit, Thomas Weston's Wessagussett Colony, and much more. Chapter 4 ?During the time that the Captain was at Manomet, news came to Plymouth, that Massasoit was like to die, and that at the same time there was a Dutch ship driven so high on the shore by stress of weather, right before his dwelling, that till the tides increased, she could not be got off. Now it being a commendable manner of the Indians, when any (especially of note) are dangerously sick, for all that profess friendship to them, to visit them in their extremity, either in their persons, or else to send some acceptable persons to them, therefore it was thought meet (being a good and warrantable action) that as we had ever professed friendship, so we should now maintain the same, by observing this their laudable custom: and the rather, because we desired to have some conference with the Dutch, not knowing when we should have so fit an opportunity. To that end my self having formerly been there, and understanding in some measure the Dutch tongue, the Governor again laid this service upon my self, and fitted me with some cordials to administer to him, having one Master John Harnden a Gentleman of London (who then wintered with us, and desired much to see the Country) for my Consort, and Hobomok for our guide. So we set forward, and lodged the first night at Nemasket, where we had friendly entertainment. The next day about one of the clock, we came to a ferry in Corbatant's Country, where upon discharge of my piece, divers Indians came to us from a house not far off. There they told us, that Massasoit was dead, and that day buried, and that the Dutch would be gone before we could get thither, having hove off their ship already. This news struck us blank: but especially Hobomok, who desired we might return with all speed. I told him I would first think of it, considering now that he being dead, Corbitant was the most like to succeed him, and that we were not above three miles from Mattapuyst his dwelling place, although he were but a hollow hearted friend towards us, I thought no time so fit as this, to enter into more friendly terms with him, and the rest of the Sachems thereabout, hoping (through the blessing of God) it would be a means in that unsettled state, to settle their affections towards us, and though it were somewhat dangerous, in respect of our personal safety, because my self and Hobomok had been employed upon a service against him, which he might now fitly revenge, yet esteeming it the best means, leaving the event to God in his mercy, I resolved to put it in practice, if Master Harnden and Hobomok durst attempt it with me, whom I found willing to that or any other course might tend to, the general good. So we went towards Mattapayst. In the way, Hobomok manifesting a troubled spirit, brake forth into these speeches, Neen womasu Sagimus, neen womasu Sagimus, etc. My loving Sachem, my loving Sachem, Many have I known, but never any like thee: And turning him to me said; Whilest I lived, I should never see his like amongst the Indians, saying, he was no liar, he was not bloody and quell like other Indians; In anger and passion he was soon reclaimed, easy to be reconciled towards such as had offended him, ruled by reason in such measure, as he would not scorn the advice of mean men, and that he governed his men better with few strokes than others did with many; truly loving where he loved; yea he feared we had not a faithful friend left among the Indians, strewing how he oft-times restrained their malice, etc. continuing a long speech with such signs of lamentation and unfeigned sorrow, as it would have made the hardest heart relent. At length we came to Mattapuyst, and went to the Sachem Comaco (for so they call the Sachems place, though they call an ordinary house Witeo) but Corbitant the Sachem was not at home, but at Pokanoket, which was some five or six miles off; the Squa-sachem (for so they call the Sachems wife) gave us friendly entertainment. Here we inquired again concerning Massasoit, they thought him dead, but knew no certainty; whereupon I hired one to go with all expedition to Pokanoket, that we might know the certainty thereof, and withal to acquaint Corbitant with our there being. About half an hour before?Sun-setting, the messenger returned, and told us that he was not yet dead, though there was no hope we should find him living. Upon this we were much revived, and set forward with all speed, though it was late within night ere we got thither. About two of the clock that afternoon the Dutchmen departed, so that in that respect our journey was frustrate. When we came thither, we found the house so full of men, as we could scarce get in, though they used their best diligence to make way for us. There were they in the midst of their charms for him, making such a hellish noise, as it distempered us that were well, and therefore unlike to ease him that was sick. About him were six or eight women, who chafed his arms, legs; and thighs, to keep heat in him; when they had made an end of their charming, one told him that his friends the English were come to see him; (having understanding left, but his sight was wholly gone) he asked who was come, they told him Winsnow (for they cannot pronounce the letter 1, but ordinarily n in the place thereof) he desired to speak with me; when I came to him, and they told him of it, he put forth his hand to me, which I took; then he said twice, though very inwardly, keen Winsnow, which is to say, Art thou Winslow? I answered ahhe, that is, yes; then he doubled these words, Matta neen wonckanet namen Winsnow; that is to say, O Winslow I shall never see thee again. Then I called Hobomok and desired him to tell Massasoit, that the Governor hearing of his sickness was sorry for the same, and though by reason of many businesses he could not come himself, yet he sent me with such things for him as he thought most likely to doe him good in this his extremity and whereof if he pleased to take, I would presently give him; which he desired, and having a confection of many comfortable conserves, etc. on the point of my knife, I gave him some, which I could scarce get through his teeth; when it was dissolved in his mouth, he swallowed the juice of it, whereat those that were about him much rejoiced, saying, he had not swallowed any thing in two days before. Then I desired to see his mouth, which was exceedingly furred, and his tongue swelled in such manner, as it was not possible for him to eat such meat as they had, his passage being stops up: then I washed his mouth, and scraped his tongue, and got abundance of corruption out of the same. After which, I gave him more of the confection, which e swallowed with more readiness; then he desiring to drink, I dissolved some of it in water, and gave him thereof: within half an hour this wrought a great alteration in him in the eyes of all that beheld him; presently after his sight began to come to him, which gave him and us good encouragement. In the mean time I inquired how he slept, and when he went to the stool? They said he slept not in two days before, and had not had a stool in five; then I gave him more, and told him of a mishap we had by the way in breaking a bottle of drink, which the Governor also sent him, saying, if he would send any of his men to Patuxet, I would send for more of the same, also for chickens to make him broth, and for other things which I knew were good for him, and would stay the return of the messenger if he desired. This he took marvelous kindly, and appointed some who were ready to go by two of the clock in the morning, against which time I made ready a letter, declaring therein our good success, the state of his body, etc. desiring to send me such things as I sent for, and such physic as the Surgeon durst administer to him. He requested me that the day following, I would take my Piece, and kill him some Fowl, and make him some English pottage, such as he had eaten at Plymouth, which I promised: after his stomach coming to him, I must needs make him some without Fowl, before I went abroad, which somewhat troubled me, being unaccustomed and unacquainted in such businesses, especially having nothing to make it comfortable, my Consort being as ignorant as my self; but being we must doe somewhat, I caused a woman to bruise some come, and take the flower from it, and set over the grit or broken come in a pipkin (for they have earthen pots of all sizes.) When the day broke, we went out (it being now March) to seek herbs, but could not find any but strawberry leaves, of which I gathered a handful and put into the same, and because I had nothing to relish it, I went forth again, and pulled up a sassafras root, and sliced a piece thereof, and boiled it till it had a good relish, and then took it out again. The broth being boiled, I strained it through my handkerchief, and gave him at least a pint, which he drank, and liked it very well. After this his sight mended more and more, also he had three moderate stools, and took some rest. Insomuch as we with admiration blessed God for giving his blessing to such raw and ignorant means, making no doubt of his recovery, himself and all of them acknowledging us the instruments of his preservation. That morning he caused me to spend in going from one to another amongst those that were sick in the Town, requesting me to wash their mouths also, and give to each of them some of the same I gave him, saying, they were good folk. This pains I took with willingness, though it were much offensive to me, not being accustomed with such poisonous savors. After dinner he desired me to get him a Goose or Duck, and make him some pottage therewith, with as much speed as I could: so I took a man with me, and made a shot at a couple of Ducks, some six score paces off, and killed one, at which he wondered: so we returned forthwith, and dressed it, making more broth therewith, which he much desired; never did I see a man so low brought, recover in that measure in so short a time. The Fowl being extraordinary fat, I told Hobomok I must take off the top thereof, saying it would make him very sick again if he did eat it; this he acquainted Massasoit therewith, who would not be persuaded to it, though I pressed it very much, strewing the strength thereof, and the weakness of his stomach, which could not possibly bear it. Notwithstanding he made a gross meal of it, and ate as much as would well have satisfied a man in health. About an hour after he began to be very sick, and straining very much, cast up the broth again, and in overstraining himself, began to bleed at the nose, and so continued the space of four hours; then they all wished he had. been ruled, concluding now he would die, which we much feared also. They asked me what I thought of him; I answered, his case was desperate, yet it might be it would save his life: for if it ceased in time, he would forthwith sleep and take rest, which was the principal thing he wanted. Not long after his blood stained, and he slept at least six or eight hours; when he awaked I washed his face, and bathed and suppled his beard and nose with a linen cloth: but on a sudden he chops his nose in the water, and drew up some therein, and sent it forth again with such violence, as he began to bleed afresh, then they thought there was no hope, but we perceived it was but the tenderness of his nostril, and therefore told them I thought it would stay presently, as indeed it did. The messengers were now returned, but finding his stomach come to him, he would not have the chickens killed, but kept them for breed. Neither durst we give him any physic which was then sent, because his body was so much altered since our instructions, neither saw we any need, not doubting now of his recovery, if he were careful. Many whilest we were there came to see him, some by their report from a place not less than an hundred miles. To all that came, one of his chief men related the manner of his sickness, how near he was spent, how amongst others his friends the English came to see him, and how suddenly they recovered him to this strength they saw, he being now able to sit upright of himself. The day before our coming, another Sachem being there, told him, that now he might see how hollow-hearted the English were, saying if we had been such friends in deed, as we were in show, we would have visited him in this his sickness, using many arguments to withdraw his affections, and to persuade him to give way to some things against us, which were motioned to him not long before: but upon this his recovery, he brake forth into these speeches; Now I see the English are my friends and love me, and whilest I live I will never forget this kindness they have showed meet Whilest we were there, our entertainment exceeded all other strangers. Divers other things were worthy the noting, but I fear I have been too tedious. At our coming away, he called Hobomok to him, and privately (none hearing save two or three other of his Pnieses, who are of his Council) revealed the plot of the Massacheuseucks before spoken of, against Master Weston's Colony, and so against us, saying that the people of Nauset, Paomet, Succonet Mattachiest, Manomet, Agoweywam, and the Isle of Capawack, were joined with them; himself also in his sickness was earnestly solicited, but he would neither join therein, nor give way to any of his. Therefore as we respected the lives of our Countrymen, and our own after safety, he advised us to kill the men of Massachusetts, who were the authors of this intended mischief. And whereas we were wont to say, we would not strike a stroke till they first begun; if said he upon this intelligence, they make that answer, tell them, when their Countrymen at Wessagussett are killed, they being not able to defend themselves, that then it will be too late to recover their lives, nay through the multitude of adversaries they shall with great difficulty preserve their own, and therefore he counseled without delay to take away the principals, and then the plot would cease. With this he charged him thoroughly to acquaint me by the way, that I might inform the Governor thereof at my first coming home. Being fitted for our return, we took out leave of him, who returned many thanks to our Governor, and also to our selves for our labor and love: the like did all that were about him. So we departed. That night through the earnest request of Corbitant, who till now remained at Sawcaans or Pokanoket, we lodged with him at Mattaiuyst. By the way I had much conference with him; so likewise at his house, he being a notable politician, yet full of merry jests and squibs, and never better pleased than when the like are returned again upon him. Amongst other things he asked me, If in case he were thus dangerously sick, as Massasoit had been, and should send word thereof to Patuxet for Maskiet, that is, Physic, whether then Mr. Governor would send it? And if he would, whether I would come therewith to him? To both which I answered yea, whereat he gave me many joyful thanks. After that, being at his house he demanded further, how we durst being but two come so far into the Country? I answered, where was true love there was no fear, and my heart was so upright towards them that for mine own part I was fearless to come amongst them. But, said he, if your love be such, and it bring forth such fruits, how cometh it to pass, that when we come to Patuxet, you stand upon your guard, with the mouths of your pieces presented towards us ? Whereunto I answered, it was the most honorable and respective entertainment we could give them; it being an order amongst us so to receive our best respected friends: and as it was used on the Land, so the ships observed it also at Sea, which Hobomok knew, and had scene observed. But shaking the head he answered, that he liked not such salutations. Further, observing us to crave a blessing on our meat before we did eat, and after to give thanks for the same, he asked us what was the meaning of that ordinary custom? Hereupon I took occasion to tell them of Gods works of Creation, and Preservation, of his Laws and Ordinances, especially of the ten Commandments, all which they hearkened unto with great attention, and liked well of: only the seventh Commandment they excepted against, thinking there were many inconveniences in it, that a man should be tied to one woman: about which we reasoned a good time. Also I told them that whatsoever good things we had, we received from God, as the Author and giver thereof, and therefore- craved his blessing upon that we had, and were about to eat, that it might nourish and strengthen our bodies, and having eaten sufficient, being satisfied therewith, we again returned thanks to the same our God for that our refreshing, etc. This all of them concluded to be very well, and said, they believed almost all the same things, and that the same power that we called God, they called Kiehtan. Much profitable conference was occasioned hereby, which would be too tedious to relate, yet was no less delightful to them, then comfortable to us. Here we remained only that night, but never had better entertainment amongst any of them. The day following, in our journey, Hobomok told me of the private conference he had with Massasoit, and how he charged him perfectly to acquaint me therewith (as I showed before) which having done, he used many arguments himself to move us hereunto; That night we lodged at Nemasket, and the day following about the mid way between it and home, we met two Indians, who told us that Captain Standish was that day gone to the Massachusetts: but contrary winces again drive him back, so that we found him at home; where the Indian of Paomet still was, being very importunate that the Captain should take the first opportunity of a faire wind to go with him, but their secret and villainous purposes being through Gods mercy now made known, the Governor caused Captain Standish to send him away without any distaste or manifestation of anger, that we might the better effect and bring to pass that which should be thought most necessary.? Nathaniel Philbrick also used our spelling of the name in the book ?Mayflower? when he wrote the following: ?A John Harnden, a gentleman, from London, was wintering (1623) in the colony.? What do we know about Edward Winslow? Edward came to the New World on the Mayflower. He came over with his wife Elizabeth Barker and 2 sons as mentioned above. But, they fail to mention his daughter Elizabeth, whom is mentioned in his will. ?I Edward Winslowe of London. Esquior. being now bound in a voyage to sea in the service of the comon welth do make publish & declare this to be my last will & testamt touching the disposing of my estate. ffirst I doe give will devise & bequeath all my lands & stock in New England & all my possibilities & porcons in future allotmts & divicons to Josia my onely sonne & his heires, hee allowing to my wife a full third parte thereof for her life Also.

Sealed & subscribed in the presence of Jon Hooper Gerald Usher servant to Hen: Colbron pr me Edw: Winslow We also know from the above, that Edward?s wife Elizabeth Barker died soon after their arrival in Plymouth. We also know that a William White died shortly after arriving leaving his widow Susannah and some White children. It?s recorded that Edward married Susannah and it was the first marriage in the New England Colonies. Also, Edward adopted the White children. Elizabeth White the daughter of William White, should be of great interest to any Harnden researchers. For it was an Elizabeth White the daughter of William White, whom married Benjamin Hearnden. Benjamin Hearnden b. 1618 was the brother of our Richard Harnden b. 1615. Benjamin was not very law abiding and was chased out of Lynn, Massachusetts around or just before 1647 (where the Harnden Line of the family was so prevalent) and settled in Rhode Island. Many of his descendants now bear the name Herringten and Harrington. There is a lot of debate on the proper origins of the White and Harrington families, but this is a link that could prove valuable in researching this story. If Benjamin Hearnden married the Elizabeth White who?s step-father was Edward Winslow, then there would certainly have been a relationship with Winslow and the Harnden family. If nothing else Winslow had a relationship to the White family, and the Harndens had a relationship to them as well. So, who was this John Harnden mentioned in Winslow?s story? Benjamin Hearnden b. 1618 had a number of siblings. Four brothers and a sister to be exact. Richard Harnden b. 1615, Robert Harrington b. 1616, John Harndel b. 1619, Abraham Harrington b. 1620 and Rebecca Harrington b. 1622. All of these children were fathered by John (Harrington) Hearnden. John was born in 1584 in Bath (Englbell), Somerset, England. He married Ann Clinton in 1613 in St. Botolph's Parish, London, England and died about 1631 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts by drowning in the Boston Harbor. Harrington family tradition holds that John (Harrington) Hearnden brought some of the family over in 1630. And that later in 1634 Robert "Harrington" came over on the ship "Elizabeth ?. There is no record in the passenger list for the ?Elizabeth? to suggest a man with a name close to resembling Robert Harrington. However, in the Winthrop Fleet which sailed in 1630. There is a Robert Harding. If this is the same man and he came over later then the rest of the family, it could place John (Harrington) Hearnden and family in the New World early enough to have gone with Winslow. So, I suggest this may have been the John Harnden in question, a gentleman, from London, whence he wed his bride, but a mere 10 years earlier. All this is speculative at best, but does make some good points. It should only be used as a tool in your research, and not taken entirely as fact. I add it here, because I think it may have relevance to our family and the early history of our Country. I mean look this indirectly connects us to the first marriage, first birth and first Thanksgiving in America. | Harrington, John James (I6938)
