| 1203 | Marie got the deRochemont House. It became the Great Bay Training Center. At one point, her nephew Louis fixed up the third floor and Virginia and her family lived there for a while. This would have been in the early to mid 1930's. Virginia says, "The barn and carriage shed where Grandpa Derochemont parked when he came from Cambridge have been moved. As a girl, I spent lots of summer days at The Farm with chickens, cows, cats and gardens. I have on the wall one of the skimmers Aunt Marie used to scoop up the thick Guernsey cream from the cooling pans in their kitchen. I have a picture of Bill Knight in the barn by the grain bin. My parents called their house Blueberry Ban. When my mother and brother sold the big house, Simplex used it for a while as office or guest house. Then Simplex sold the big house which was turned and moved SE and is now a homeopathic clinic. Most likely the wild strawberry plants that grew along the stone wall are gone, probably they did something with the brook and all the trees, the stand of pines and everything else that wouldn't turn a profit." | DEROCHEMONT, Marie Dillingham (I1677)

| 1204 | Marie had a daughter born out of wedlock, Marie baptized 16 Nov 1644 (born 6 Nov) in Ars-en-Re in the diocese of La Rochelle. The child was the daughter of Abraham Brunet from La Rochelle. Marie came ot Canada with her daughter in 1650, but it is likely her daughter died during the crossign as there is no mention of her in the Canadian archives. | RITON, Marie (I12788)

| 1205 | Marie Le Barbier, born on May 20, 1619, in St. Cande le Viel, Rouen, Normandy, France, was the daughter of Henry Le Barbier and Marie Le Villain. Her life took a significant turn when she married Nicolas Marsolet on March 19, 1637, in the parish of Saint-Sauveur, Rouen. Shortly after their marriage, the young couple crossed the Atlantic to New France, becoming one of the first French families to arrive after Quebec was returned to French control by the British. At just 18 years old when she married the 36-year-old Marsolet, Marie adapted quickly to life in the New World. She gave birth to their first child on February 22, 1638, less than a year after their marriage. Over the years, Marie and Nicolas had a total of ten children, though only six survived to adulthood. Throughout their nearly 40-year marriage, Marie managed their household and raised their family while Nicolas pursued his various business and interpreting activities. After Marsolet's death in 1677, Marie, then 58, remarried four years later to Denis Le Maistre (or Lemaitre) on May 8, 1681. This second marriage produced no children. Marie Le Barbier died on February 20, 1688, in Quebec, having spent almost five decades in the colony she had come to call home. | LEBARBIER, Marie (I15251)

She married CHARLES DIT BRISBOIS DUBOIS August 03, 1704 in St. Francois du Lac, PQ, son of RENE DUBOIS and ANNE-JULIENNE DUMONT. He was born December 05, 1680 in Quebec. Notes for MARIE URSULA MERCY PLAGNOL ADAMS: Marie apparently got to Canada as a captive of the Iroquois from their attack on Durham in 1694, aided and abetted by the French.

| 1212 | Marin Boucher, born on April 15, 1589, in the Parish of Saint Langis, Mortagne-au-Perche, France, was one of the most influential early settlers of New France. A skilled stonemason by trade, Marin's decision to emigrate to the New World at the age of 45 would have a profound impact on the development of the colony and leave a lasting legacy through his numerous descendants. Marin's life took a significant turn when he married Perrine Mallet, his second wife, sometime before 1630. This union came after the death of his first wife, Julienne Baril, in 1627, with whom he had seven children. Marin and Perrine would go on to have seven more children together, forming a large blended family that would become one of the founding families of New France. In 1634, despite his age and established family, Marin made the bold decision to join the Percheron immigration movement to New France. Along with Perrine and three of his children, Marin embarked on the ship Le Petit Saint-Christophe, captained by Pierre de Nesle, departing from Dieppe in April. They arrived in Quebec City on June 4, 1634, ready to face the challenges of life in the new colony. Upon arrival, Marin's skills as a stonemason were immediately put to use. He was involved in constructing Robert Giffard's home and eleven houses for other settlers. His expertise was so valued that Samuel de Champlain himself housed the Boucher family in Fort St. Louis until they could settle on their land. Champlain's appreciation for Marin's work was evident in his 1635 will, where he bequeathed Marin his last suit of clothes. The Boucher family initially settled on land along the St. Charles River, where Marin combined his masonry work with farming. Over time, they moved to Beauport, where by 1650, Marin had acquired a substantial property measuring 1,150 feet wide along the St. Lawrence River and extending four miles inland. This land would become the foundation for the family's prosperity in New France. In 1663, records show the Boucher family residing in Château-Richer, where they were part of a growing parish. That year, Marin and Perrine, along with their family members, were among the 170 parishioners confirmed by Bishop François de Laval in the newly built stone church. The 1667 census provides insight into the Bouchers' success, listing Marin as the owner of 8 head of cattle and 20 arpents of cultivated land. By this time, he had acquired enough property to provide for each of his children and their families, ensuring their future in the new land. Marin Boucher's life came to an end on March 28, 1671, at the age of 82. His burial record, signed by F. Pillion, a missionary priest, speaks to Marin's character, describing him as having "lived as a good Christian" and receiving the sacraments before his death. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of Château-Richer. Perrine Mallet survived her husband, continuing to manage the family's affairs. Her date of death is not provided in the given information, but her role in establishing the Boucher family in New France was crucial. The legacy of Marin Boucher and Perrine Mallet is immense. By the end of the 18th century, their descendants numbered more than 8,500, making Marin one of the most prolific ancestors in French-Canadian genealogy. Today, hundreds of thousands of people across North America can trace their lineage back to this pioneering couple. Marin and Perrine's story exemplifies the courage, resilience, and industriousness of the early settlers of New France. From their decision to leave their established life in France to their success in carving out a prosperous existence in the challenging environment of colonial Canada, they played a vital role in laying the foundations of French-Canadian society. | MALLET, Perine (I20241)

| 1224 | Married to count Geoffroy of Gâtinais, she was a widow by late 1045 or early 1046 when her mother Hildegarde departed for the Holy Land [Halphen (1906), 293 (act #169); Guillot (1972), 1: 102, n. 453; 2: 159 (act C 242)]. She then became the second wife of duke Robert I of Burgundy, probably not long afterward (since her daughter by that marriage was married in 1067), and died on the same day as her husband, 18 March 1076. As heiress of her brother Geoffroy II Martel, count of Anjou, Ermengarde carried the Angevin possessions to her sons Geoffroy III "le Barbu" and Foulques IV "le Rechin". | ANJOU, Ermengarde d (I95)

| 1226 | Martin Côté and Suzanne Pagé were early settlers of New France who contributed to the growth and development of the colony. Martin was born in Quebec City to French immigrant parents, making him one of the first generation of French Canadians born in the New World. Suzanne was also born in New France, to parents who had immigrated from France. Their marriage in 1667 united two families who were helping to establish a permanent French presence in North America. The couple settled on Île d'Orléans near Quebec City, where they raised a large family of at least 9 children between 1668 and 1686. Census records show their progress as farmers, with their holdings growing from 3 animals and 30 arpents of cleared land in 1667 to 10 cattle and 15 arpents by 1681. Martin and Suzanne lived long lives for their time, with Martin reaching 71 years of age and Suzanne living to about 65. Through their family and farm, they played a significant role in the early settlement and agricultural development of New France, contributing to the foundation of what would become Quebec society. | CÔTÉ, Martin (I20248)

| 1228 | Martin Prévost and Marie Olivier Sylvestre Manitouabewich's union stands as a significant milestone in Canadian history, representing the first officially recorded marriage between a French colonist and an Indigenous woman in New France. Born on January 4, 1611, in Montreuil-sous-Bois near Paris, Martin Prévost was the son of Pierre Prévost and Charlotte Vien. Seeking new opportunities, he immigrated to New France in the late 1630s, with his presence first noted in Quebec in 1639. He found employment as a storekeeper for the Company of One Hundred Associates, immersing himself in the bustling fur trade of the new colony. Marie Olivier Sylvestre Manitouabewich entered the world around 1624 as a member of the Algonquin nation. Her parents, Roch Manitouabewich and Outchibahanoukoueou, made the significant decision to entrust their young daughter to Olivier Le Tardif, a respected interpreter and intermediary between the French and Indigenous peoples. This act was likely a strategic move to strengthen alliances between their people and the French colonists, a common practice in Indigenous cultures of the time. Under Le Tardif's guardianship, Marie's life underwent a dramatic transformation. She was baptized with the name Marie Olivier Sylvestre and received a French education, first with the Ursuline nuns in Quebec and later with the Hubou family. This upbringing immersed her in French language, customs, and Catholic faith, while likely retaining some connection to her Algonquin heritage. Martin and Marie's paths crossed in this colonial setting, possibly through Martin's connections in the fur trade or through mutual acquaintances like the Hubou family. While we can't know for certain, it's possible that Martin was drawn to Marie's unique bicultural background, her education, and her ability to navigate both French and Indigenous worlds. For her part, Marie may have seen in Martin a chance for stability and acceptance in the French colonial society she had been raised to join. Their wedding took place on November 3, 1644, at Notre-Dame de Québec, witnessed by prominent colony members including Olivier Le Tardif and Guillaume Couillard. This high-profile ceremony suggests that their union had support from influential figures in the colony. While we can't definitively state that theirs was a love match, the fact that they chose to marry despite potential social challenges suggests a strong personal connection. Martin, at 33, was choosing to marry outside his own culture, which would have been a significant decision. For Marie, at about 20 years old, Martin possibly represented a bridge between the two worlds she inhabited. After their marriage, the couple settled in Beauport, near Quebec City, where they raised a family of at least eight children between 1647 and 1665. Martin continued his work as a farmer and maintained property in Quebec City, while Marie likely managed their household and cared for their children. Their life together wasn't without challenges. They likely faced prejudices from both French and Indigenous communities, navigating a complex social landscape. However, the longevity of their marriage and their apparent stability in Beauport suggest they found ways to overcome these obstacles Additionally, their union, while groundbreaking in many ways, also reflects the harsh realities of life in 17th-century New France. This is particularly evident in the tragic fate of many of their children. Martin and Marie had at least nine children between 1647 and 1665, but the records show a heartbreaking pattern of infant and child mortality: Marie Magdeleine, their firstborn, lived only about two months. An unnamed child, born and died in 1648. Ursule, born in 1649, lived until the age of 11, dying in 1661. Louis, born around 1651, was one of the few to reach adulthood. Marie Magdelaine, born in 1655, died at about age 7 in 1662. Antoine, born in 1657, died at age 5 in 1662. Jean, born in 1660, survived to adulthood. Jean Baptiste, born in 1662, also survived to adulthood. Marie Thérèse, their last child, was born in 1665 and survived to adulthood. This high rate of infant and child mortality was not unusual for the time. In 17th-century New France, it's estimated that about half of all children died before reaching adulthood. The causes were numerous: harsh living conditions, limited medical knowledge, diseases that are now preventable or treatable, and periods of food scarcity all contributed to this grim reality. For Martin and Marie, the loss of so many children must have been a source of immense grief. The death of their first two children in infancy, followed by the loss of Ursule at age 11, and then two more children (Marie Magdelaine and Antoine) in the same year (1662) would have been particularly devastating. Despite these tragedies, Martin and Marie persevered, continuing to build their family and their life together. The survival of their later children - Louis, Jean, Jean Baptiste, and Marie Thérèse - to adulthood would have been a source of joy and hope. Sadly, their union was cut short when Marie passed away on September 10, 1665, at approximately 40 years of age. Martin remarried later that year to Marie d'Abancourt, perhaps out of necessity to care for his younger children. He lived to the age of 80, passing away on January 27, 1691, in Beauport. The story of Martin and Marie represents more than just a historical first. It embodies the complex cultural interactions of early New France, highlighting both the possibilities for cross-cultural understanding and the challenges faced by those who crossed societal boundaries. Their legacy lives on through their numerous descendants, many of whom still bear the Prévost or Provost name across North America. | PREVOST, Martin (I12883)

| 1230 | Mary Spinney probably wasn't the biological daughter of Thomas Spinney. She was most likely born from a marriage between Margery Randall and William Norman, which was later found to be invalid. William Norman had married Margery by falsely claiming he was divorced from his first wife in England. This information was discovered, William was banished from the colony, and their marriage was subsequently annulled. By then, Margery had given birth to Mary, who would go on to marry John Fernald. This account is supported by evidence cited in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEHGR, 65: Jan 1911:85). According to the NEHGR, William Norman, under the false pretense of being divorced, entered into this marriage with Margery Randall. Once the truth about Norman's marital status was revealed, the marriage was legally annulled. However, Mary had already been born by this time. Thomas Spinney initially arrived at Chaleur Bay near Gaspe, now part of Canada, and later moved to the Piscataqua Colony at Strawberry Banks, presently known as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He traveled there on Captain Fernald's ship and eventually settled in old Kittery, now known as Elliot, Maine. Records in Kittery began to be kept only from 1650, the year Thomas Spinney married Margery Randall. Following her marriage to Thomas Spinney, Mary was recognized as Mary Spinney. Thomas and Margery Spinney later had five additional children: Hannah, Samuel, James, Thomas, and John. This part of the story is detailed in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (p. 512). | SPINNEY (NORMAN), Mary (I9698)

Thomas and Margery Spinney later had five additional children: Hannah, Samuel, James, Thomas, and John. This part of the story is detailed in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (p. 512). | SPINNEY, Thomas (I9707)

| 1234 | Mary was mentioned in will of grandfather Samuel Tibbetts as "Mary Corsen". On Ap. 17, 1742, "Mary Corson, daughter of Capt. Samuel Tibbets of Dover, deceased, conveyed to Capt. John Wallingford all right and title to an eighty-acre grant to said Samuel in the Salmon Falls Woods." Zebulon was in the army in 1746 when the family was living in Somersworth, near Dover. He and Mary moved upriver to nearby Lebanon, York Co. ME in their later years with most of their adult children. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by the Rev. Hasey in June 1773. In July and Aug. of that year Hasey was at Zebulon's house to pray with his sick daughter Lydia. On Jul 28, 1784 the Rev. Hasey wrote that 'Zebulon Corson said he heard a chorus of Angels' and after he became speechless that he "visited and prayed with him. Zebulon was described as a laborer and died from "decay of nature". Mary died at the home of son Moses. From ancestry: ID: I0028 Name: Zebulon CORSON Sex: M Birth: 17 JUN 1712 in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire 1 Death: 28 APR 1786 in Lebanon, Maine 1 Note: Zebulon was a laborer, and his wife, Mary, were both of the Somersworth section of Dover, New Hampshire, sold to Thomas Wallingford of the same town, for 25 pounds (British) that portion of an 80 acre grant not yet sold or disposed of that had been originally granted to Captain Samuel Tebbets, Mary's grandfather, and conveyed to her father, Samuel Tebbets and inherit- ed by Zebulon and Mary. The deed was witnessed by G. Wentworth and M. Hogden. The deed was signed by the 'X' marks of Zebulon and Mary, dated April 17, 1742 and recorded on February 16, 1745. Zebulon was in the Somersworth Army under the command of Captain Thomas Wallingford as of July 23, 1746. Zebulon was apparently residing at the time in the Rochester/Somersworth area of Dover, New Hampshire. (Somersworth was only an administrative district of Dover). He later moved from there and sometime before 1766 was an early settler at Lebanon, Maine. This was according to the journals of Reverend Isaac Hasey. Hasey was at Zebulon's on February 4, 1773 and again on February 11, 1773. On April 5, 1773, reference is made to Zebulon having Hasey's horse to go to Pine Hill, in Berwick, Maine. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by Rev. Hasey on June 27, 1773. Rev. Hasey was at Zebulon's house again on August 2, 1773, to pray with his sick daughter, Lydia.

| 1251 | Mathurine Robin, born around 1593 in Saint-Jean de Mortagne, Perche, France, was a pivotal figure in the early settlement of New France. The daughter of Eustache Robin dit Boulé and Mathurine Avrard, she grew up in rural France, developing skills that would prove invaluable in the New World. On June 2, 1615, Mathurine married Jean Guyon in Mortagne, beginning a partnership that would leave an indelible mark on French-Canadian history. In 1635, the couple embarked on a life-changing journey to New France, accompanied by five of their children: Simon, Marie, Claude, Denis, and Michel. This migration was part of the broader colonization efforts led by Robert Giffard de Moncel. Mathurine's role in the fledgling colony was crucial. As the wife of a master mason, she managed their household in Beauport, Quebec, while supporting her husband's work in constructing vital buildings and fortifications. Her responsibilities extended beyond domestic duties; she was instrumental in raising their large family and ensuring their survival in the challenging New World environment. The Robin-Guyon family grew to include ten children, all of whom survived to adulthood. Mathurine's maternal influence and household management skills were key to their family's success and, by extension, the colony's growth. By 1729, just a century after their arrival, Mathurine had 2,150 North American descendants. This number has since grown exponentially, with an estimated 123,800 descendants by the early 21st century. Mathurine's legacy is not just in numbers but in the resilience and adaptability she instilled in her family. Her descendants have played significant roles in shaping French-Canadian society and culture. While often overlooked in historical narratives that focus on her husband's achievements, Mathurine Robin's contributions to the establishment and growth of New France were equally vital. Her life exemplifies the crucial role women played in colonization efforts, managing households, raising families, and building communities in challenging frontier conditions. Today, Mathurine is remembered not only as the matriarch of a vast French-Canadian lineage but as a founding mother of Quebec, whose strength and perseverance helped lay the foundations for the vibrant French-Canadian culture that exists today. | ROBIN, Mathurine (I6305)

| 1253 | Maud de Lacy had a personality that was described as "highly competitive and somewhat embittered".[1] She became known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century[1] as she was involved in numerous litigations and lawsuits with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her own son. Author Linda Elizabeth Mitchell, in her Portraits of Medieval Women: Family, Marriage, and Politics in England 1225-1350', states that Maud's life has received "considerable attention by historians".[2] She endowed many religious houses, including the Benedictine Stoke-by-Clare Priory, Suffolk (re-established in 1124 by Richard de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford having been moved from Clare Castle) and Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, which she re-founded as a nunnery.[10] She also vigorously promoted the clerical career of her son, Bovo, and did much to encourage his ambitions and acquisitiveness. She was largely responsible for many of the benefices that were bestowed on him, which made him the richest churchman of the period.[11] Although not an heiress, Maud herself was most likely the wealthiest widow in 13th century England.[1] | LACY, Maud (I10295)

| 1259 | Medieval chroniclers celebrated Matilda for her devotion to prayer and almsgiving. Her first biographer depicted her leaving her husband's side in the middle of the night and sneaking off to church to pray. St. Matilda founded many religious institutions, including the canonry of Quedlinburg, which became a center of ecclesiastical and secular life in Germany under the rule of the Ottonian dynasty. She also founded the convents of St. Wigbert in Quedlinburg, in Pöhlde, Enger, and Nordhausen, likely the source of at least one of her vitae. She was later canonized, with her cult largely confined to Saxony and Bavaria. St. Matilda's feast day according to the regional German calendar of saints is 14 March. | RINGELHEIM, Matilda of (I7300)

When he became unpopular later in life, scurrilous rumours and lampoons circulated that he was actually the son of a Ghent butcher, perhaps because Edward III was not present at the birth. This story always drove him to fury. John was the fourth son of King Edward III of England.

Eventually, he was released, due to the intercession of King Henry's sister Elizabeth, Countess of Huntingdon. Not long after his release, Montagu joined with the Earl of Huntingdon and a group of other barons in the Epiphany Rising, a plot to kill King Henry IV and restore Richard II. After the plot failed, mob violence ensued, and he was caught by a mob of townspeople at Cirencester, held without trial, and executed by beheading on 7 January 1400. His eldest son, Thomas - by Maud Francis daughter of London citizen, Adam Francis - eventually recovered the Earldom, though the attainder against John Montagu was not reversed until the accession of Edward IV in 1461. | MONTAGU, John (I17429)

| 1268 | Most historians regard the beginnings of modern France with the coronation of Hugh Capet. This is because, as Count of Paris, he made the city his power centre. The monarch began a long process of exerting control of the rest of the country from there. He is regarded as the founder of the Capetian dynasty. The direct Capetians, or the House of Capet, ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by cadet branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royals since then, have belonged to the dynasty. Furthermore, cadet branches of the House continue to reign in Spain and Luxembourg. All monarchs of the Kingdom of France from Hugh Capet to Philip II of France were titled King of the Franks. Philip II of France was the first to use the title of King of France. | CAPET, Hugh (I7295)

| 1281 | My info here came from Debbie Patch: Cassel (Dutch is Kassel) is a commune in the nord department in northern France. Built on a prominent hill overlooking French Flanders, the town has existed since Roman times. It was developed by the Romans into an important urban centre and was the focus of a network of roads, which are still in use today, that converge on the hill. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Cassel became an important fortified stronghold for the rulers of Flanders which was repeatedly fought over before finally being annexed to France in the 17th century. | VESTJENS DE ROCHEMONT, Maria Margot Margaretha Vestjeris (I2178)

| 1282 | My notes: On this URL, the author has faithfully numbered his sources which he lists at the bottom of the page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mainegenie/DONNELL.htm "The names Henry Donnell and George Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, Devon from 1631 until 1634 Henry being a litigant in the Court of Sessions(1)" "In his deposition of 25 Aug. 1676 Henry Donnell suggests that he was in New England in 1631, apparently on a fishing voyage with George Jewell. His deposition of 21 Mar. 1683 shows that he was in York in 1635 or 1636." "Henry was at first a fisherman at one time in partnership with Sampson Angier,(2) later he was also an innkeeper. He lived on the road leading from York St. in the Harbor to Stage Neck which he possessed and used as a fishing stage for many years.(3) The road led to the ferry from the neck (then Stage Island) across the York River to Raynes Neck or Seabury Bank. It is probable that Henry had the ferry across the river. No record substantiates this but, it is an obvious inference as it cannot be admitted that such a convenience did not exist in the twenty years before the granting of the first recorded license. It was the natural location for ferriage being the narrowest part of the river and the establishment of a tavern at that point strengthens this opinion although the taverner may have maintained it for business reasons until the town took formal action.(4) Henry kept the tavern there. How early he combined his trade of fisherman with innkeeping is not known but, he was here as early as 1641 and probably catered to transient fishermen and travelers soon after. In 1649 his name is found in a list of those paying the excise tax for drawing liquor. He was charged with two pipes or butts of wine and 54 gallons of "licquers" an amount equal to Wardwell the taverner of Wells and greater than the tax for the widow Puddington's tavern in York.(5) Henry also had a fishery on Bragdon's Island.(6) He witnessed William Hooke's deed 18 Oct. 1644." "For some 18 years before King Phillip's War Henry lived and carried on a fishing enterprise at Jewell's Island in Casco Bay which he acquired a few years after Jewell's death in 1638 while his wife carried on the inn at York. On 6 Dec. 1664 he morgaged his houses, lands, fish houses, etc. as security for a contract to deliver a quantity of fish. The court records show that Frances and Henry were living apart prior to 1667 and she was authorized to retain for her own use what she had made by her own industry, she having a tavern license in 1669. This was about the time of Nicholas Davis' death and as they were next-door neighbors she may have assumed the management of his old inn.(7) In 1671 Frances furnished two barrels of beer for the county courts. On 2 Apr. 1660 Frances and her daughters Sarah and Margaret received a deed of land from the widow Ann Godfrey "for love and affection". In 1676 Henry was again an innkeeper in York." "On 29 Feb. 1671/2 being "stricken in years, and not capeable of manageing my fishing and my Island" Henry gave his Jewells Island land with his fishing plant to his son Joseph on the condition that he should have his maintenance there "So long as I please to continue with him there."(8)" "Henry appears among the jurors in 1650 and in 1653, and on the grand jury in 1651 and 1660. He was a selectman in 1661, 1666, 1673, 1677-9, and in 1683." "Henry took the oath of allegience to Massachusetts 22 Nov. 1652." "He, along with many others, was not satisfied with the division of Godfrey's land and they signed a petition to the general court in Boston stating their view. However, the awards were never changed.(10)" "Henry was evidently satisfied with the Massachusetts government as he did sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of worth" (i.e. Godfrey) for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they are instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."(11) His son Thomas did not sign this petition. However, both Henry and Thomas signed the "govern or get out" petition which was an indictment of incompetency with a notice that they would expect "due & seasonable performance" of Massachusetts' obligations to maintain law and order: "Your tollerating such an inconsiderate number of opposers frequently to violate & trample upon yr authority & laws, as cannot be altogether unknowne to you, to the obstruction of Justice, infringeing our Lybertys, deviding our peace and if not speedily prevented by your Worships, may as the case stands, snarl us in the bonds of Inextricable & prejudiciall Injuries, upon whom, under God, & our dread sovereigne wee looke att our selves Ingaged att present to depend for our security & releife."(12)" "Henry gave a deposition concerning John Pullman's estate 24 Sept. 1680.(13)" "Last mention of Henry in public records was made in 1687 but, the inventory of his estate was not made until 25 April 1693.(14)" --------------------------------------------- Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (G.D.M.N.H.) Authors: Sybil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby, Walter Goodwin Davis Publication: Portland, ME: Southward Press, 1928, page 199 "The names Henry Donnell and Geo. Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, co. Devon, 1631-4." "HENRY, b. ab. 1602-08" and he was first mentioned in 1641 but when he gave a deposition about Thomas Bradbury on 21 March, 1682-3, he stated that he was about 78 years old and that "47 or 48 years ago" he'd been in York, which was in about 1635-6. When Henry deposed on 25 August, 1676 (age 68, he said), his statement made it sound as if he had been in Maine, "at least on a fishing trip" in about 1631. "See Thomas Brooks." My notes: On page 112 of G.D.M.N.H., Thomas Brooks was a man who used an alias at times, "Basil Parker." Why? No one seems to know. In 1610, a Basil Parker was adm. (administrator or admitted?) "to comp(any) of haberdashers, London.....who was likely the same B.P., haberda(sher). of St. Gregory's by St. Paul's m(arried) 2 Feb. 1610-11 to Anne Saville." A Basil Brooks (now it's Brooks rather than Parker) sailed on the same ship with Henry "Dunnell" in 1635. Thomas Brooks first appeared at Saco court on 25 June, 1640, but as Basil Parker he witnessed deeds in 16443-1646. He was a Recorder from 1647 to his death and a Councillor in 1650-51. He owned property in partnership with Peter Weare (Henry's son-in-law) and died (apparently) at Gunnison's tavern, leaving records in Gunnison's trust. The administration of his property in 1651 was given to Mr. John Alcock, "with whom and his wife he was several times a wit(ness)." "Henry was an "early fisherman, later innkeeper at the Stage Isl. ferry, his w(ife) ran the inn while he lived at Jewell's Isl. in Casco Bay, where he made fish 16 or 18 yrs. until Philip's War (his s(on) Samuel said near 30 yrs. and that he bot the island of the Ind.; he mortg. it in 1644)." "At York, in 1676, Henry was an innkeeper again but in 1678 he was selling without a license. In 1686-87, he was licensed again. Henry was on the jury in 1650 and 1653 and on the Grand Jury in 1651, 1660. He was elected as a selectman in 1661, 1667, 1673, 1677-79, 1683. The last mention of Henry was in June 1687. An inventory of his estate wasn't completed until 25 Apr. 1693, "after the massacre." Henry's name showed up on several "Lists" and even though I don't understand what all of them were, I'll list them here as they're shown in G.D.M.N.H. List 272 - "Twenty-Seven owners of the Patent - 2 Me. Hist. Coll(ection) 323-325" List 275 - "An Imperfect List of the Inhabitants of York, made up in advance of their submission to Mass. - Mass. Arch. iii 193" List 277 - "Protest by the Inhabitants (of York) against the decision of the Mass. commissioners in favor of Mr. Godfrey, presented 21 Oct. 1654." Henry "Dunnell" and Peter Weare were two of the men who signed this list. List 285 - "Creditors of Robert Weymouth's estate, 1663 - York Court Records "Hene: Donnell" was one of the men on the list. List 24 - "Petition to the Lord Protector, 1657." That would be Oliver Cromwell. List 25 - "Petition from Maine, except Saco and Scarborough, for Mass. to use force, not merely declarative acts, to protect the inhabitants against a pretended power of Esq. Gorges's commissioners, (Fall of 1662) - Mass. Arch. 3: 269. Me.

His wife disposed of this island with the premises at Rogers' Cove to Sampson Anger and Henry Donnell, fishermen, before 1659." "DIVISION OF LAND ON THE EAST BANK" (of the York River) "June 11, 1641, the eastern bank of York River had been apportioned as far upriver as Gorges, now known as Cider Mill Creek. The entire tract was three miles wide, and extended inland for six miles. The final division, made the same year, mentioned only the dwellings of Henry Donnell, at Lobster Cove, Henry Lynn, on the south side of Gorges Creek, and the farmhouse of William Hook, in Scotland Parish." At Lobster Cove, next to "Farmer Alcock's Neck" on the eastern bank of the York River at York Harbor, was Henry's home and "fishing establishment." Henry stated that he had been living in that area in 1631. p. 232 "Jewell's Island contains about 100 acres and lies on the outer rim of the Casco archipelago. The first known occupant was George Jewell who found it a safe and convenient fishing port. It was provided with stages and flakes. A mariner who gave his name to the northern sound was George Luxon, a fishing master from Barnstable.

| 1283 | My notes: On this URL, the author has faithfully numbered his sources which he lists at the bottom of the page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mainegenie/DONNELL.htm "The names Henry Donnell and George Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, Devon from 1631 until 1634 Henry being a litigant in the Court of Sessions(1)" "In his deposition of 25 Aug. 1676 Henry Donnell suggests that he was in New England in 1631, apparently on a fishing voyage with George Jewell. His deposition of 21 Mar. 1683 shows that he was in York in 1635 or 1636." "Henry was at first a fisherman at one time in partnership with Sampson Angier,(2) later he was also an innkeeper. He lived on the road leading from York St. in the Harbor to Stage Neck which he possessed and used as a fishing stage for many years.(3) The road led to the ferry from the neck (then Stage Island) across the York River to Raynes Neck or Seabury Bank. It is probable that Henry had the ferry across the river. No record substantiates this but, it is an obvious inference as it cannot be admitted that such a convenience did not exist in the twenty years before the granting of the first recorded license. It was the natural location for ferriage being the narrowest part of the river and the establishment of a tavern at that point strengthens this opinion although the taverner may have maintained it for business reasons until the town took formal action.(4) Henry kept the tavern there. How early he combined his trade of fisherman with innkeeping is not known but, he was here as early as 1641 and probably catered to transient fishermen and travelers soon after. In 1649 his name is found in a list of those paying the excise tax for drawing liquor. He was charged with two pipes or butts of wine and 54 gallons of "licquers" an amount equal to Wardwell the taverner of Wells and greater than the tax for the widow Puddington's tavern in York.(5) Henry also had a fishery on Bragdon's Island.(6) He witnessed William Hooke's deed 18 Oct. 1644." "For some 18 years before King Phillip's War Henry lived and carried on a fishing enterprise at Jewell's Island in Casco Bay which he acquired a few years after Jewell's death in 1638 while his wife carried on the inn at York. On 6 Dec. 1664 he morgaged his houses, lands, fish houses, etc. as security for a contract to deliver a quantity of fish. The court records show that Frances and Henry were living apart prior to 1667 and she was authorized to retain for her own use what she had made by her own industry, she having a tavern license in 1669. This was about the time of Nicholas Davis' death and as they were next-door neighbors she may have assumed the management of his old inn.(7) In 1671 Frances furnished two barrels of beer for the county courts. On 2 Apr. 1660 Frances and her daughters Sarah and Margaret received a deed of land from the widow Ann Godfrey "for love and affection". In 1676 Henry was again an innkeeper in York." "On 29 Feb. 1671/2 being "stricken in years, and not capeable of manageing my fishing and my Island" Henry gave his Jewells Island land with his fishing plant to his son Joseph on the condition that he should have his maintenance there "So long as I please to continue with him there."(8)" "Henry appears among the jurors in 1650 and in 1653, and on the grand jury in 1651 and 1660. He was a selectman in 1661, 1666, 1673, 1677-9, and in 1683." "Henry took the oath of allegience to Massachusetts 22 Nov. 1652." "He, along with many others, was not satisfied with the division of Godfrey's land and they signed a petition to the general court in Boston stating their view. However, the awards were never changed.(10)" "Henry was evidently satisfied with the Massachusetts government as he did sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of worth" (i.e. Godfrey) for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they are instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."(11) His son Thomas did not sign this petition. However, both Henry and Thomas signed the "govern or get out" petition which was an indictment of incompetency with a notice that they would expect "due & seasonable performance" of Massachusetts' obligations to maintain law and order: "Your tollerating such an inconsiderate number of opposers frequently to violate & trample upon yr authority & laws, as cannot be altogether unknowne to you, to the obstruction of Justice, infringeing our Lybertys, deviding our peace and if not speedily prevented by your Worships, may as the case stands, snarl us in the bonds of Inextricable & prejudiciall Injuries, upon whom, under God, & our dread sovereigne wee looke att our selves Ingaged att present to depend for our security & releife."(12)" "Henry gave a deposition concerning John Pullman's estate 24 Sept. 1680.(13)" "Last mention of Henry in public records was made in 1687 but, the inventory of his estate was not made until 25 April 1693.(14)" --------------------------------------------- Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (G.D.M.N.H.) Authors: Sybil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby, Walter Goodwin Davis Publication: Portland, ME: Southward Press, 1928, page 199 "The names Henry Donnell and Geo. Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, co. Devon, 1631-4." "HENRY, b. ab. 1602-08" and he was first mentioned in 1641 but when he gave a deposition about Thomas Bradbury on 21 March, 1682-3, he stated that he was about 78 years old and that "47 or 48 years ago" he'd been in York, which was in about 1635-6. When Henry deposed on 25 August, 1676 (age 68, he said), his statement made it sound as if he had been in Maine, "at least on a fishing trip" in about 1631. "See Thomas Brooks." My notes: On page 112 of G.D.M.N.H., Thomas Brooks was a man who used an alias at times, "Basil Parker." Why? No one seems to know. In 1610, a Basil Parker was adm. (administrator or admitted?) "to comp(any) of haberdashers, London.....who was likely the same B.P., haberda(sher). of St. Gregory's by St. Paul's m(arried) 2 Feb. 1610-11 to Anne Saville." A Basil Brooks (now it's Brooks rather than Parker) sailed on the same ship with Henry "Dunnell" in 1635. Thomas Brooks first appeared at Saco court on 25 June, 1640, but as Basil Parker he witnessed deeds in 16443-1646. He was a Recorder from 1647 to his death and a Councillor in 1650-51. He owned property in partnership with Peter Weare (Henry's son-in-law) and died (apparently) at Gunnison's tavern, leaving records in Gunnison's trust. The administration of his property in 1651 was given to Mr. John Alcock, "with whom and his wife he was several times a wit(ness)." "Henry was an "early fisherman, later innkeeper at the Stage Isl. ferry, his w(ife) ran the inn while he lived at Jewell's Isl. in Casco Bay, where he made fish 16 or 18 yrs. until Philip's War (his s(on) Samuel said near 30 yrs. and that he bot the island of the Ind.; he mortg. it in 1644)." "At York, in 1676, Henry was an innkeeper again but in 1678 he was selling without a license. In 1686-87, he was licensed again. Henry was on the jury in 1650 and 1653 and on the Grand Jury in 1651, 1660. He was elected as a selectman in 1661, 1667, 1673, 1677-79, 1683. The last mention of Henry was in June 1687. An inventory of his estate wasn't completed until 25 Apr. 1693, "after the massacre." Henry's name showed up on several "Lists" and even though I don't understand what all of them were, I'll list them here as they're shown in G.D.M.N.H. List 272 - "Twenty-Seven owners of the Patent - 2 Me. Hist. Coll(ection) 323-325" List 275 - "An Imperfect List of the Inhabitants of York, made up in advance of their submission to Mass. - Mass. Arch. iii 193" List 277 - "Protest by the Inhabitants (of York) against the decision of the Mass. commissioners in favor of Mr. Godfrey, presented 21 Oct. 1654." Henry "Dunnell" and Peter Weare were two of the men who signed this list. List 285 - "Creditors of Robert Weymouth's estate, 1663 - York Court Records "Hene: Donnell" was one of the men on the list. List 24 - "Petition to the Lord Protector, 1657." That would be Oliver Cromwell. List 25 - "Petition from Maine, except Saco and Scarborough, for Mass. to use force, not merely declarative acts, to protect the inhabitants against a pretended power of Esq. Gorges's commissioners, (Fall of 1662) - Mass. Arch. 3: 269. Me. Prov. and Court Records i.199." ------------------------------------- Pioneers on Maine Rivers: With Lists to 1651 By Wilbur Daniel Spencer, Published by Printed by Lakeside printing company, 1930, p. 143 "DONNELL, HENRY, born 1602, fisherman; York, 1631; occupied Jewell's Island; died 1680; widow Frances, daughter of John Gouch, of York; children Henry, Joseph, Margaret, Samuel, born 1645, Sarah and Thomas." p. 134 Henry was on a list of heads of families, living in York, Maine in 1640. pp. 136-138 - YORK RIVER "(Edward) Godfrey's first fishing operations appear to have been conducted on Stage Island where he maintained two houses in 1648. His wife disposed of this island with the premises at Rogers' Cove to Sampson Anger and Henry Donnell, fishermen, before 1659." "DIVISION OF LAND ON THE EAST BANK" (of the York River) "June 11, 1641, the eastern bank of York River had been apportioned as far upriver as Gorges, now known as Cider Mill Creek. The entire tract was three miles wide, and extended inland for six miles. The final division, made the same year, mentioned only the dwellings of Henry Donnell, at Lobster Cove, Henry Lynn, on the south side of Gorges Creek, and the farmhouse of William Hook, in Scotland Parish." At Lobster Cove, next to "Farmer Alcock's Neck" on the eastern bank of the York River at York Harbor, was Henry's home and "fishing establishment." Henry stated that he had been living in that area in 1631. p. 232 "Jewell's Island contains about 100 acres and lies on the outer rim of the Casco archipelago. The first known occupant was George Jewell who found it a safe and convenient fishing port. It was provided with stages and flakes. A mariner who gave his name to the northern sound was George Luxon, a fishing master from Barnstable. Before 1660 the place was utilized by Henry Donnell, the veteran fisherman of York." ------------------------------------------ http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=nhfirstsettlers&id=I11526 Early fisherman, later innkeeper at the Stage Island ferry, his wife ran the inn while he lived at Jewell's Island in Casco Bay, where he made fish 16 or 18 years until Philip's War (his son Samuel said near 30 years and that he bought the island of the Indians; he mortgaged it in 1644).

| 1284 | Nabby Adams Smith was the eldest child and only surviving daughter of John and Abigail Adams and the sister of John Quincy Adams. She married William Stephens Smith in London on June 12, 1786 while her parents were in residence there but the marriage was not a happy one. Abandoned on numerous occasions while her husband went "seeking his fortune", Nabby showed herself to be a true child of her parents, strong-willed, uncomplaining and able to keep herself and her children together under one roof, earning the unstinting respect of John and Abigail and of John Quincy, who loved her dearly ... one of the few people he did love dearly. In October of 1811, Nabby discovered a lump in her breast and a mastectomy was performed without any anesthesia. Her parents were holding her hands during the brutal surgery and, according to John, she never cried out once. After recuperating at the Adams homestead in Quincy, she returned to her dreary life in New York. But the cancer proved too much for even Nabby's resilient spirit and, in the summer of 1813, in agony, she returned to her parents in Quincy and died in The Old Homestead. The elderly John Adams grieved in a letter to his old friend Thomas Jefferson: "Your friend, my only Daughter, expired, yesterday morning .... in the 49th Year of her age, 46 of which she was the healthiest and firmest of us all. Since which, She has been a monument to Suffering and to Patience." It has been said that neither John nor Abigail ever truly recovered from her death. | ADAMS, Abigail Amelia (I469)
