1333 Nicholas Byram. according;- to family tradition, was the son of an English gentleman of some prominence, William H. By- ram and his wife, Mary, of the County of Kent, who ri.moved to Ireland about the time this son was born in 1610. His father sent him at the age of sixteen to visit his friends in England m charge of a man who betrayed his trust, robbed him of his money, and took him to the West Indies, supposed to have been Barbadoes, where he was sold to service to pay his passage, and after his term expired he made his way to New England in 1633 or and settled at Weymouth. He married Su- sanne (36), daughter of Abraham Shaw in Dedham, about 1635. In 1660 he bought three proprietary or original purchase rights in Bridgewater. viz. : Moses Simmons, Phillip Delanos, and George Soules, and settled there soon after. He died in 1688. His wife died April 13. 1688-9. BYRAM, Dr. Nicholas (I7773)
 
1334 Nicholas Danforth was a leading citizen in his native town of Framlingham, Suffolk, England. He married Elizabeth Barber in 1617 or 18 and they had 7 children before her death in 1629, when her youngest son, our ancestor Jonathan would have been one year-old. He came to America in 1634 with his children and settled at Cambridge. His home in Cambridge was on what is now Bow St. Near Mt. Auburn St. He was Deputy to the general court in 1635, and selectman 1635. He must have kept a tavern as he was given permission by the general court in 1637-38 to "sell wine and strong water.We are descended from Nicholas and Elizabeth through the Wright (Tucker) line. DANFORTH, Nicholas (I16260)
 
1335 Nicholas, married Elizabeth Short in 1624 in England. He married, secondly at Ipswich, 20 June 1658, Hannah, widow of Daniel Rolfe; she died 20 June 1665. Nicholas then married widow Martha Preston 21 May 1666.

NOTES and HISTORY of the HOLTS......

It is said by antiquarians and students of the origin and signification of surnames that the family name Holt is derived from "a holt, or grove," at or near which dwelt some remote English ancestor. The progenitor of the American branch of the family was a pioneer settler in two towns and a man of influence among his associates.

There is a tradition that the dwelling of NICHOLAS HOLT, the immigrant, is one which still stands on Holt's Hill, sometimes called Prospect Hill, in Andover, Massachusetts. The descendants of the immigrant in Andover have been noticeable for their attention to learning. The HOLT family in that town included four college graduates previous to 1800. The family in this country in all its branches is very large and includes many names of considerable prominence in the town of Andover and elsewhere.

NICHOLAS HOLT came from Romsey, England, in the ship "James, " William Cooper, master, sailing 06 April, and landing in Boston 03 June 1635, after a voyage of forty-eight days. The names of forty-three male persons are found as passengers on the ship's roll, "besides the wives and children of Dyvers of them." Among the former occurs the name of Nicholas Holte, of Romsey (county of Hants), England, "Tanner." Undoubtedly he was accompanied by a wife and at least one child.
He was one of the first settlers at Newbury and Andover, Massachusetts. At Newbury he was husbandman, proprietor and town officer. and resided there some ten years. He made a long journey with others to take the freeman's oath 17 May 1637, and vote against Sir Harry Vane.

On 19 April 1638, Nicholas Holt was chosen one of the surveyors of highways "for one whole yeare & till new be chosen." 24 February 1637, it was agreed that "William Moody, James Browne, Nicholas Holt, Francis Plummer, Na Noyse, shall lay out all the general fences in the towne, that are to be made, as likewise tenn rod between man & man for garden plotts this is to be done by the 5th of March on the penalty of 5s apiece."In June 1638, all the able-bodied men of Newbury were enrolled and formed into four companies under the command of John Pike, Nicholas Holt, John Baker and Edmund Greenleafe. They were required to "bring their arms complete on Sabbath day in a month and the lecture day following," and "stand sentinel at the doors all the time of the public meeting."
He was a tanner as well as a farmer. He removed to Andover in 1644. He sold his Newbury land November 14, 1652. He is called a plate-turner (woodworker) in some records.

The first church records of Newbury prior to 1674 are lost, and consequently the name of Nicholas Holt is not found, but it appears in the following order of the town record: "Jan. 18, 1638. It is ordered that Richard Knight, James Brown & Nicholas Holt shall gather up the first payment of the meeting house rate, & the town within one fourteennight on the penalty of 6s 8d apiece." In 1644

Nicholas Holt was one of the ten original settlers who removed their families from Newbury and accompanied their pastor, the Rev. John Woodbridge, to "Chochichawicke," now Andover. On a leaf in the town records containing the list of householders in order as they came to the town his name is sixth. He was one of the ten male members, including the pastorelect, who composed the church at the ordination of Mr. John Woodbridge, October 24, 1645.
On May 26, 1647, he was appointed in connection with Sergeant Marshall "to lay out the highway between Reading and Andover, and with Lieut. Sprague and Sergeant Marshall to view the river (Ipswich River) and make return to the court of the necessity and charge of a bridge and make return to the next session of this court." At a general court held May 2, 1652, he was appointed with Captain Johnson, of Woburn, and Thomas Danforth, of Cambridge, "to lay the bounds of Andover," and May 18, 1653, he was appointed with Captain Richard Walker and Lieutenant Thomas Marshall to lay out the highway betwixt Andover and Reading and at the same term of court, September 20, 1655, the committee made a report of said survey.

Nicholas Holt died at Andover, January 30, 1685, aged one hundred and four years, says the record, but Coffin, with more probability, says eighty-three.
In his early, life he carried on the business of manufacturer of woodenware. A few years before his death, in distributing his property among his children, he styles himself "dish-turner." The word "tanner" on the roll of the ship "James" is probably an error of the recording official who mistook the word turner for tanner.

There exists an original document that is one large sheet of pale blue paper faintly lined in a slightly darker blue. The paper is folded to form four pages which read like you would read a book.

Pages 1 - 3 are in a very elaborate hand [Except for a line which starts, "There was a daughter..." which appears to be inserted in another hand].

Page 4 is in a different hand altogether and many assume it may have been added later.

Comparing the contents to Daniel S. Darrie’s "Genealogical History of the Holt Family in the United States: more particularly Descendants of Nicholas Holt." shows numerous differences.

No one seems to know who authorized this document or what sources were used in creating it.

It is known that it has been in the family for at least 100 years, having been passed down to one Jacob Lyman Greene of Hartford, who died in 1905. His secretary at the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, of which he was President, made a transcription of the document about 1895 along with other documents related to genealogical research that Jacob Greene had commissioned.

Website says: This website is dedicated to Henry Adams of Braintree and his descendants. I have been researching these descendants since 1993. The most time consuming part of the research has been the transcription of the book “The Genealogical History of Henry Adams of Braintree, Mass., and his Descendants, also John Adams of Cambridge, Mass, 1632-1897” complied and edited by Andrew N. Adams, published by the author 1898: The Tuttle Company, Printers, Rutland, VT. Every individual mentioned in this book has been entered into one Family Tree Maker file. I continually add individuals from research and the file now contains over 26,000 Adams connections. This FTM file has given me the ability to do quick look ups, family reports, family trees, etc. Over the past several years I have been able to help several relatives realize their connection to Henry Adams of Braintree as well as their connection to the Adams presidents who are also descendants of Henry Adams. My goal is to share this information with known and unknown relatives and to continually add (well-documented) descendants of Henry Adams to the file. The final destination of the information will be to preserve it at the many genealogical organizations all over the United States for future generations to use. I also have another website with over 28,000 relatives, including all my Adams relatives:

1364 Note taken from book - "John Hayes A Book of His Family" Volume One, published1936 by Katherine F. Richmond, Tyngboro, Mass.

Page 32 - "Deacon John Hayes (John1) born 1686/7 in Dover,New Hampshire; died 3 July 1759 in Dover, NH; buried in Pine Hill Cemetery where the following inscription appears on his gravestoneaaaaaaa; 'Dea. John Hayes the 1st born of the Pilgrim fathers of the N. E. Hayes family Died 3 July 1759 age 73 years.'"

The name Hayes is of Scotch origin. It was originally written Hay, and means an enclosed park or field. Four families of the name of Hayes came to New England in the seventeenth century. Thomas settles in Milford, Connecticut in 1645; Nathaniel at Norwalk, Connecticut in 1652; John at Dover, New Hampshire 1680; and George at Windsor, Connecticut in 1682. George Hayes born in Scotland in 1655, lived at Windsor and Simsbury, Connecticut dying at the latter place September 2, 1725. His great-grandson Rutherford, born July 29, 1758, who lived at Brattleboro, Vermont, and served in the Revolution was the grandfather of President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is probable that the present branch of the family, like all others born in New Hampshire, is descended from John, who came to Dover in 1680, and married Mary Horne.

"It is a family tradition that John came to America as a refugee after
the defeat of the Scot Covenanters at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in
1679, but this has never been proved. He was at Dover, NH in 1680 and is
referred to in Dover history as the "Scotsman" and as the "Covenanter".

*Source Information: Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Vol 3 by Henry Sweetser Burrage, Albert Roscoe Stubbs pub. 1909

Four men by the name of Hayes emigrated to New England during the seventeenth century. Three of these, Thomas, Nathaniel and George, settled in Connecticut, while John came to New Hampshire.

Thomas Hayes established himself at Milford, Connecticut, in 1645, but removed a few years later to Newark, New Jersey, where his descendants are living to this day.

Nathaniel settled at Norwalk in 1651, but this line disappears after 1729.

George came to Windsor, Connecticut, as early as 1680, and there is a tradition that he was a brother of John of New Hampshire, but no proof has been found.

The following family traces its origin to the New Hampshire immigrant.

(I) John Hayes settled at Dover Corner, New Hampshire, in 1680, and is the ancestor of most of the people of that name living in the surrounding region and along the Maine coast. It is said that he came from Ireland, but the form of his name is English; however, it would be quite easy to add additional letters upon coming to a new country.

It is also said that John had a brother Ichabod, who came over with him, but afterwards went south.

John Hayes had a grant of land at Dover in 1693-94, and he died there October 25, 1708.

On June 28. 1686. he married Mary Horne, and there is a tradition that she was but thirteen years old at the time. There were ten children:

John, born in 1687;
Peter, mentioned below;
Robert;
Ichabod, March 13, 1691-92;
Samuel, March 16, 1694-95;
William, September 6, 1698;
Benjamin, September, 1700;
a daughter who married an Ambrose of Salisbury (probably Massachusetts);
a daughter who married an Ambrose of Chester.

Genealogical Items relating to Dover, NH (NEHGR vol 6 pg 333)John1 Hayes the ancestor of the Hayes families of New England, is said to have emigrated from Scotland about 1680, and to have settled at Dover "Corner." His wife was Mary Horne, whom tradition says he married when she was but thirteen years old, which tradition is probably as true now as it ever was. He had a brothr Ichabod, tradition also says, who went South and left descendants there. John had a grant of land in 1693/4.

1367 Notes from Debbie Patch Wilson:
Abrham remained in Holland after the death of his parents in Demarrara. He was poor, married,
and had eleven children. The account of his children is given in the appendix of the "Commemorative Gathering, Notes of
Proceedings at the Meeting of the de Rochemont Family". It does not say who wrote the
appendix, but whoever it is says he corresponds with a son of Maximilian's brother Abraham
Fortunatus who stayed in Holland. The comments on each of the children were made by his son,
Charles Peter William, probably at the time of the gathering or at least after 1854 when he notes
that one child had left.

http://rochesterhistoricalnh.org/2014/07/30/rochesters-first-churches/#_edn4

By the 1720’s land for a new town north of Dover was divided up into lots of 60 acres owned by proprietors. Most of these men were investors and usually did not move here. The first attempt to get people to come here to settle failed because of conflicts with the native people and fears about moving into this wilderness.[i]
By 1730 a second attempt was made and several families came to settle the new town. One of the first acts of the proprietors was to vote to build a meetinghouse. Their vote was for a building, “forty feet long, thirty-five feet wide, and eighteen foot stud; to be well framed & Inclosed &c.” [ii]
This meeting house was built on the top of Rochester Hill. The spot was near the middle of the town as it was then laid out. Its position at the top of the highest point was good for safety. The roads all led to this spot. The building would be the center of the town government and also serve as the church. Most of the early Rochester settlers attended this meeting house which was called Congregational because the people of the congregation made the decisions.
The people gathered at the meetinghouse to make town government decisions as well as for religious activities. There was no separation of church and state. Everyone was taxed to support the Congregational meetinghouse ministry.
Many of Rochester’s first settlers were descendants of Puritan churches , and they followed the teachings of John Calvin. They subscribed to Calvin’s doctrines of predestination and the strict moral codes of their Puritan forefathers. They loved and feared their Lord, and they believed that their salvation was entirely in His hands.
At this time minsters were well -educated men, graduates of Harvard or Dartmouth and among the most educated people in the community. Rochester settlers wished to have such a person for their spiritual guidance. Ministers from Dover did visit the new town from time to time, but the people wanted someone of their own to rely on.
The land owning proprietors who mostly lived elsewhere were slow to hire a minister and the residents had to petition them for one. Their second petition in 1736/7 read in part, “Your petitioners have been settled here, some of them seven years or thereabout…we are now increased to the number of about 60 families and are as yet destitute of a settled minister.” [iii]
In May of 1737, Parson Amos Main was called to full time service. He was a Harvard graduate and his wife was also very well educated. She had attended the best schools available for women in Boston. The parson carried out his religious duties and helped with governmental responsibilities. [iv]
He acted as a lawyer and as a doctor for the people. The journals he kept show that he traveled to many area towns. He recorded charges for treating people in Berwick, Durham, Barrington, Lebanon, Somersworth, Dover and occasionally Greenland, Rye, Stratham, and Wells. While on these journeys he provided spiritual support, met with people on their deathbed, and baptized infants and adults. He dispensed medicines and set broken bones.
He also acted as a lawyer, writing wills and indentures. He was paid for his services with whatever the person could give him such as wool, flax, boards, beef, pork, or labor. Rarely, he received money. Money was scarce and people were more likely to trade goods and services than to use money. [v]
Parson Main and the early Rochester settlers lived in a time of great danger from the French and Indian Wars. During this time, some Rochester residents were captured and taken to Canada and others were killed. Parson Main is remembered as always carrying his gun wherever he went, but he never had to use it for defense. The native people had great respect for him. They frequently came to his house to visit and would tell him details that they knew about his travels like where he had been and even when they had seen him walk his horse or when he had trotted it. When asked why they had not killed him, they said it was because he was a good man, like their priests they knew in St Francis, Canada. [vi] Amos Main lived in his own private house until his death of consumption in 1760.

1375 On 26 March 1634, William boarded the Mary & John, a wooden sailing ship departing from Southampton, England. William settled briefly in Newbury, but in 1644, he moved to Andover. His is the sixteenth name on the list of "the names of all free house houlders in order as they came to towne." William married Grace before 1645; she was likely either Grace Berwick or Grace Lovejoy. William and Grace had 9 children. William died in 1689; Grace lived another 5 years, dying in 1694. BALLARD, William (I10641)
 
1376 On her 17th birthday, Isabel was married to Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, who was 20 years her senior, at Tewkesbury Abbey. The marriage was an extremely happy one, despite the age difference, and the couple had six children. MARSHAL, Isabel (I10297)
 
1377 On her husband's death, Constance was determined to put her youngest son Robert I, duke of Burgundy, on the throne of France, rather than the appointed successor, her eldest living son Henry. With the support of the duke of Normandy, the count of Anjou, and the count of Flanders, Henry overthrew his brother. Crowned Henry I, he then pardoned Robert and granted him the duchy of Burgundy. In the meantime, however, the conflict weakened the French monarchy. ARLES, Constance of (I7294)
 
1378 On Jan 24, 1692 the Abenakee Indians from Canada attacked the village of York, Maine. Killing , plundering and burning the town. Most accounts put the dead at around 48 and 80 taken prisoner. Amoung the dead were Philip Adams age 60 and his 15 year old son Nathaniel. A local poet expesses the horror of the day

Hundreds were murdered in their beds, Wiyhout shame or remorse; And soon the floors and roads were strewed, With many a bleeding corpse. The village soon began to blaze, To heighten misery's woe; But, Oh! I scarce can bear to tell The issues of that blow! They threw the infants on the fire; The men they did not spare; But kill-ed all which they could find, Though aged or though fair.

Another of our g grandfathers was also killed in this attack. John Parker, the Father of Hannah Parker who married Thomas Adams , was killed. 
ADAMS, Philip (I16118)
 
1379 On July 17, 1692 she was staying at a friends, Peter Joslin's house in Lancaster. While there, Indians attacked and killed her along with Peter's wife Sarah Howe and children. It is unknown as to what the relation was between Peter Joslin and Hannah, but 6 years later Hannah's niece, Johanna, became Peter's second wife. According to an article in the January, 1850 issue of the New England Historic Genealogical Register, the widow of Jonathan Whitcomb was living with the Joslin family. It states that "On the 18th July, 1692, the Indians assaulted the house of Peter Joslin, who was at his labor in the field, and knew nothing thereof until entering the house. He found his wife with three children, with a widow WHITCOMB, who lived in his family, barbarously murdered with their hatchets, and weltering in their blood. His wife's sister, ELIZABETH HOW , daughter of John How of Marlborough, with another of his children, were carried into captivity. She returned, but the child was murdered in the wilderness.

1380 On the 1786 map of the colony, B DeWitt is shown as the owner of lot 14. B de Wit on the Capt Walker 1798 map was the owner of Lot 63, Maicouncy Creek to the east side of the Demerary River. On the 1798 Bouchenroeder Map lot 63 Wittensburg was owned by the Enfans de Wit. This suggests that B de Wit died during 1798 or slightly before. He was called in a 1785 petition to the Dutch West India Company "a Hollander, formerly a ship's pilot".

An entry in the IGI gives the names of CC de Wit's parents but CC's wrong death date as circa 1833, submitted by a LDS member. Barthel must be a variant of Bartholomew as Carsten named a son Carsten Bartholomew de Wit.

1381 On the 1850 Census when Annetta was 7 years old she was living with her parents and siblings in Newburyport, MA where her father was a blacksmith. Her aunt Ariadna Nutter (age 24) was also living with them.

In 1860, according to the census she was still in Newburyport with her parents and siblings. Her aunt was no longer living with them. Her father is listed as the owner of real estate valued at $700

In 1880, Annette was living with her grandfather James Nutter in Newington. He died in 1881 of old age.

1397 Outchibahanoukoueou, also known as Ouéou or Outchibahanoukouéou, was born around 1600, likely in what is now Quebec, Canada. Her name is said to mean "woman who cooks fast" in her native language, offering a glimpse into Indigenous naming practices of the time.

While her exact origins are uncertain, some sources suggest she was born to an Abenaki band living along the Bécancour River. The Abenaki people were known for their early interactions with French settlers and their gradual movement from coastal Maine to New France (modern-day Canada) as European colonization progressed.

Outchibahanoukoueou met her future husband, Roch Manitouabeouich, in Sillery, Quebec, a Christian mission near Quebec City. Together, they became important figures in the early interactions between Indigenous peoples and French colonists.

She and Roch had at least two children: a daughter initially named Ouchistaouichkoue (later baptized as Marie Olivier Sylvestre), and a son named Ouasibiskounesout (later baptized as François). Their decision to entrust their daughter to the French colonist Olivier Le Tardif for a French education was a significant moment that would shape their family's future and symbolize the complex cultural exchanges of the time.

Outchibahanoukoueou's life straddled two worlds - her Indigenous heritage and the increasing influence of French colonial culture. The Jesuit Relations mention her, noting her consent to have her son François baptized and educated in the French manner, indicating her navigation of these cultural changes.

While specific details of her daily life are not recorded, as an Indigenous woman in this period, she would have played crucial roles in her community, potentially including food preparation (as her name suggests), child-rearing, and maintaining cultural traditions.

The exact date of Outchibahanoukoueou's death is unknown, with some sources suggesting around 1649, though this is uncertain. Her legacy lives on through her descendants, many of whom claim her as an important ancestor in Abenaki tribal histories.

Outchibahanoukoueou's life story, though shrouded in some mystery, represents the experiences of Indigenous women during a time of significant cultural change in North America. Her decisions, particularly regarding her children's upbringing, played a crucial role in shaping the early relationships between Indigenous peoples and French settlers in New France.

1398 Over the last few months of 1015, Cnut conquered most of England, and Edmund joined Æthelred (his father) to defend London, but Æthelred died on 23 April 1016, making Edmund King. It was not until the summer of 1016 that any serious fighting was done: Edmund fought five battles against the Danes, ending in his defeat on 18 October at the Battle of Assandun, after which they agreed to divide the kingdom, Edmund taking Wessex and Cnut the rest of the country. Edmund died shortly afterwards on 30 November, leaving two sons called Edward and Edmund; however, Cnut became the king of all England. IRONSIDE, Edmund (I7270)
