1951 There are many online trees that connect George Colbath, son of Pitman Colbath, with a marriage to a woman named Jane and 4 daughters. These trees also indicate that George died in Barnstead in 1843. The problem is that I can find zero evidence of any of this other than a Betsey C. (Colbath) Garland, widow, born in 1794, who died in Medland, MA in 1863 of a lightning strike, and her parents are listed as George and Jane.

Now, there is a Betsey C. Colbath among the four daughters attributed to George Colbath, but she was living with her son Isaac Garland in Gilmanton, NH in both 1850 and 1860. It is possible that she had moved to Medland or was visiting Medland in 1863 when this lightning strike killed her, but it is also quite possible that her parents names were listed incorrectly.

Also, I can find no evidence that George, son of Pitman Garland, had any connection with Barnstead. He didn't actually die in Barnstead in 1843, he died in Portsmouth in 1853. Also, if he ever married a woman named Jane, there is no record of it. In fact, the Portsmouth Athenaeum (The Athenæum houses an outstanding collection of documents and artifacts relating to local history. It also preserves what is undoubtedly the finest collection in the state of materials relating to the history of New Hampshire’s only major seaport.) has a record for George (https://athenaeum.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Colbath%2C%20George%2C%20c1759-1853) in which it attributes no children and lists him as unmarried (with a question mark).

The other daughters attributed to him are Jane Colbath born in 1782 in Barnstead, who married Daniel Sherburne.

Also a Hannah Colbath born in 1792 who married an Ezra Straw. They moved to Ohio and Hannah died theire in 1886. She was born in Portsmouth according to her obituary, but was married in Barnstead.However, Ezra was born in Barnstead, so this may account for that fact.

Finally, there is my ancestor Sarah Sally Colbath, born in 1789 in Barnstead, who married Ebenezer Adams Jr. of Barnstead in 1805, and died in Portsmouth in 1864. Ebenezer died in 1820 leaving her with young children to raise, and she never remarried, It would have been very difficult for a single mother in those years, so it makes complete sense that she moved her family to Portsmouth where there would have been more work than in Barnstead.

There are a few issues in resolving all of these inconsistencies, and the most significant is that the early vital records from Barnstead were lost in a fire. The second is that most of the early founding families of Barnstead had family ties in the Portsmouth/Newington areas, and I've found a lot of fluidity among them.

In my tree I have left George "married" to Jane, but only for research purposes, and have listed the four daughters I found in online trees. I have also listed Jane and Sarah Sally with Dependence and Eleanor, again, to aid with research, as explained below.

It is my belief that Jane and Sarah Sally were**very** likely the daughters of Dependence Colbath and Eleanor Walker. Dependence is from a branch of the family that was well established in Barnstead and the 1790 census lists them as having 2 sons and 5 daughters. We know they had one daughter Lydia, born in 1788 and died (unmarried) in 1832. She is buried with her parents in Barnstead. The two sons, it is believed were John and Dependence/Independence Jr. The names of the other four daughters living in 1790 are lost. As stated, I believe that two of them are Jane and Sarah Sally.

1954 There are no parents listed by the Newington town clerk on Amelia's death record. Her cause of death was "unknown". DEROCHEMONT, Amelia McCoy (I899)
 
1955 There is a "Pythian Sisters" marker on her grave. GARLAND, Edith G (Bradstreet) (I390)
 
1956 There is a death record at NHVR for 21 May 1865 of one Leonard de Wit, a single farmer, born in Demerara. In the 1860 census there is a Leonard C Dewitt who was living with the George Derochemont family. He was 26 at that time (born ca 1834), single and a farmer. I believe he is the man who died in 1864 and was more than likely Henrietta's nephew, son of her brother Leonard.

Marguerita Maseau of Newington showed me a beautiful wreath that Maria Louisa de Wit wore on her head at her wedding. She told me that her brother had bought it for her in England on one of his trips. I think it was Leonard who was the brother because in a deposition, Sarah (Anderson) de Wit said that she had visited the America once before moving here and also once to England. 
DE WIT, Leonard Charles (I1605)
 
1957 There seems to be some confusion in many online trees regarding two James Nutters.

James Nutter (c 1793-1881) of Portsmouth/Newington married Hannah Langley/Leathers. This James was the son of James Nutter and Elizabeth Seavey.

James Nutter (1795-1881) of Barnstead married Anna Nutter. This James was the son of John Nutter and Elizabeth Dame.

In my media files is a file including all the Nutter births in Barnstead that makes this distinction clear. MY James is the James from Newington/Portsmouth.

In 1830 a family of Jas Natter matching James' family (himself, wife, and 3 daughters in the right age groups) was living in Somersworth.

In 1840: James Nutter living in Newington had a household consisting of 3 sons (matching ages of Wolliam, Charle, and Edwin), a daughter matching the age of Ariadna - Sarah was married and Elizabeth was 19 and possibly on her own), and wife.

In 1850: James Nutter (age 56), a laborer born in NH owned $400 in RE and was in dweling # 777 in Newington, He was living with his wife Hannah (age 57) and 3 males William H (age 23), Charles H. (age 19) and Edwin M (age 15)

in 1860: James Nutter (67) a farm laborer owned RE valed at $750 and was in dwelling #890 in Newington. He was living with his wife Hannah (68) and a female Araidna N. (36)

In 1870: James Nutter (77) a farmer owned RE valued at $1000 and was in dwelling # 77 in Newington. He was living with his wife Hannah (78).

In 1880: James Nutter (86) was living in dwelling #49 in Newington with a female Annette Adams (37) noted as his granddaughter.

I've never found a birth record for James. But given his (supposed) mother's age (born in 1780) and marriage to James Nutter in 1797, I've come to believe that the online date of 1793 for James death is incorrect. I believe he was born in 1797.

1958 There was a petition by the Reading Selectmen to have the widow Hannah Davis 'put her children out to servise, and thus free the Town of supporting them And as the Widow Davis has no means of support. The Middlesex County Court Records Folio Collection, at the Massachusetts State Archives, has a petition(Follo 1679-86-4) from the selectmen of Reading on 12, 10mo. 1679, for power to dispose of Hanah Davise, a "wlddow woman" with minor children, "she not haveing whearewith to mainetaine her selfe but her hard labor much less to mainetaine her chlldren...she haveing bene by us warned to put her children out and free us of this truble but yet the matter is neglected..."

The Middlesex County court record book adds in 1679 that "The select men of Redding are ordered to dispose of the children of Widow Davis as the law directs. No further record Is found of the Davises in court records. It Is obvious that Hannah probably did not inherit property, land or otherwise, from her husband or her parents. She may well have remarried after 1679, but probably not In Reading as there is no record; the IGI entries for Hannah Davises marrying In Massachusetts during the next decade might be checked for possibilities 
RICHARDSON, Hannah (I16276)
 
1959 There was a William Havelock Smith who was born in Digby Nova Scotia on 1 April 1877. Both parents were also born in Digby and his mother was a Cleveland. In 1902, William was accepted as a US citizen and was living in Lynn, MA where his papers say he had beern for the past 10 years. If this is the right William, is this where Alma met him? Her sister lived in Lynn and she was traveling back and forth every year. In 1908, William Havelock married a Gescena Fisher from Plymouth, MA. They are no where to be found in the 1910 census when a William H. Smith and Alma "Smith" were found living in Brookline with their two children Muriel and Albert. However, the William in this census was said to have been born in 1868, which doesn't match William Havelock's birth date. Also, supposedly both Muriel and Albert were born in Ontario. SMITH, William H (I17607)
 
1960 There was an Abigail Wentworth baptized in Rochester on May 3, 1740. This could be the Abigail I am looking for. (UNPROVEN), Abigail Heard (I9884)
 
1961 There was another Sarah (Collins) who married a John Hoyt in NH. They were similar ages so need to make sure not to confuse them FURBER, Sarah (I936)
 
1962 They lived for a time at
Dover Neck, but moved to Welshman's cove, in
what is now Newington, New Hampshire. i\Ir.
Nutter was a prominent man in the colony and exer-
cised a wide influence. He was admitted freeman
in 1662, was "Corporall" in 1667, and "leftenant"
in 1683, being thereafter known by that title. He
was selectman, a member of the general court when
under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and later
of the general assembly of New Hampshire; and in
1681-82 a member of the provincial council. He had
three sons, John, Hatevil and Henry, and one daugh-
ter, Sarah.

1965 Third daughter of Hugh Magnus and Adelaide of Vermandois and as such represented both the Capetian line of her paternal grandfather Henry I of France, and the Carolingian ancestry of her maternal grandfather Herbert IV of Vermandois. As the wife of two Anglo-Norman magnates, Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester and William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, she is the ancestress of hundreds of well-known families down to the present time.

Elizabeth is reputed to have had an affair and left her first husband when he was near death. The historian James Planché claimed (1874) that the Countess was seduced by or fell in love with a younger nobleman, William de Warenne. There is no evidence that her second husband, William II de Warenne, second earl of Surrey, was that lover and only later rumors that she had a lover at all during her first marriage. William had sought a royal bride in 1093, but failed in his attempt to wed Matilda of Scotland also known as Edith, who later married Henry I,. He obtained a bride of royal blood when he married Elizabeth in 1118, very soon after the death of Earl Robert. Elizabeth survived her second husband William to later die 1131.

1966 Third wife of Edward the Elder, Eadgifu became the mother of two sons, Edmund I of England, later King Edmund I, and Eadred of England, later King Eadred, and two daughters, Saint Eadburh of Winchester and Eadgifu. She survived Edward by many years, dying in the reign of her grandson Edgar. EADGIFU (I7281)

1970 This is not Mary Ann Pitman born in 1703 in Lee, NH to Joseph Pitman and Elizabeth Ham. Many online trees have listed her as such, but that Mary Pitman married Daniel Downs, and she would have been far too young to already be married and having children in 1712.

Our Mary Pitman was likely born around 1690.

1973 Thomas Canney was sent to Dover New Hampshire by Captain Mason in 1631 or earlier and took a lot near Captain Wiggins in 1634.His wife's name is unknown, but she must have emigrated as part of another family; their first child was born abt 1636.They had five children together.

We have 6 separate lines of descent, all on the Wright (Tucker) side through their three daughters: Jane, Mary, and Hannah.

Thomas was a signer of the Dover Combination. In 1652 he was excused from the court for military training because of impaired eyesight.

After his first wife died, Thomas married againin 1652 to a woman named Jane.Jane was in court twice. Once in 1652 for beating her husband and again in 1655 for beating Thomas' daughter Mary and Mary's husband,

Thomas Canney was sent over by Captain Mason on or before 1631. He took a lot of Captain Wiggins in 1634, which in 1647 was bounded thus: - "Butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south and uppon ye land adioyning to ye spring north." He was taxed in 1648 and to 1668, and was alive in 1677. He had grants of land in 1652, 56 &c. He was a freeman in 1653. He was a sea captain and some have said he was from northern Scotland and belonged to the Campbell Clan. On 26 June 1661 "The Canney of Dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eiesight, [it] is granted him." - Court Records.
In the autumn of 1637, the people formed a "Combination" for government and Rev. George Burdett was placed at the head. In the absence of government, the growing colony found it necessary to organize. "In witness wee have hereto Set our hands the two and twentieth day of October in the Sixteenth year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord Charles by the grace of God King of Great Brittain France & Ireland Defender of the Faith &c. Anno. Dom. 1640" Thomas Canney, Richard Pinkham, John Heard, Robert Huggins, William Storer, William Furbur, John Damme and William Pomfret all signed this. The book "By The Name Of Kinnie" states that according to Mabel (Gould) Demers (formerly of #9 Stobie St., Waterville, ME) rearranged and amplified at Dunedin, FL 33528, 988 Philico Drive, 1971 by Mabel Demers Hinckley provides the information that Thomas Canney was a son of Sir Thomas Kinne and that his brothers William and John each spelled their names differently. This has not yet been verified by any other sources.1

1974 Thomas Holland was born in Upholand, Lancashire, in 1350.[1] He was the eldest surviving son of Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent, and Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent".[2] His mother was a daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent, and Margaret Wake. Edmund was in turn a son of Edward I of England and his second Queen consort Marguerite of France, and thus a younger half-brother of Edward II of England.

His father died in 1360, and later that year, on 28 December, Thomas became Baron Holand. His mother was still Countess of Kent in her own right, and in 1361 she married Edward, the Black Prince, the son of King Edward III. 
HOLLAND, Thomas (I17345)
 
1975 Thomas Jostlin sailed from London in April, 1635 aboard the Increase with his wife Rebecca and children Rebecca (18), Dorothy (11), Nathaniel (8), Elizabeth (6), and Mary (1), as well as servant Elizabeth Ward. They originally settled in Hingham, Plymouth County, later moving to Lancaster. JOSSELYN, Thomas (I20034)
 
1976 Thomas Nichols was a shipwright and planter who had migrated to Hingham by 1637. He married Rebecca Nichols in 1638. He served as a selectman. His home was on Forth Hill. NICHOLS, Thomas (I10032)
 
1977 Thomas Paine, a weaver from Wrentham, Suffolk, England, boarded the ship Mary Anne at Yarmouth, England in 1637 with his wife, Elizabeth (Bloomfield) and six children: Thomas (our ancestor), John, Mary, Elizabeth, Dorothey and Sarah. Thomas bought a vessel rather than sail in another's ship. The ship was captained by William Goose.The family settled in Salem, Plymouth Colony where Thomas died in 1639. Their home in Salem appears to have been located between the commons and New River near present Washington Square at Boardman Street. Around 1652, widow Elizabeth joined her daughter Mary Dickerson in Southold, Long Island, NY, as did sons Peter and John.

We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) line. 
PAINE, Thomas (I16176)
 
1978 Thomas Richardson, was the youngest of the three brothers of that name, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas who united in the settlement of Woburn, and the formation of a church there, in 1641. Thomas married Mary (maiden name unknown), possibly in England. Thomas (and likely Mary) and his brother Samuel most likely migrated to the United States five years after their older brother Ezekiel who came over in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630.

According to the "A Chronological History of Woburn, Massachusetts" for the years 1640's; 1650's; and 1676; the Richardson brothers were active members of their community and played a role in the building of the town of Woburn, Massachusetts. Thomas and Mary had 7 children together. He died in 1651 and Mary remarried to Michael Bacon in 1655. She lived to 1670. We are descended from Thomas and Mary through the Wright (Tucker) line. 
RICHARDSON, Thomas (I2733)
 
1979 Thomas Roberts served as the last Colonial Governor of the Dover Colony before it became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

At the March, 1640 elections, Thomas Roberts was chosen Governor or President of the Country in place of Gov. John Underhill. He held that office until Dover (then Northam) came under Massachusetts rule in 1642. I have seen this written everywhere. Thomas was not a Governor in any sense of the word as we know it today. In March or April of 1640 he was elected "President of the Court" of the Bristol Company, the owners of Dover. This position has been described as little more than head of a group of selectmen. When the Dover Combination was signed on 22 Oct. 1640, there were only about 40 men in Dover. So, as the colony grew in size other men stepped up into leadership roles. Thomas held various minor offices, but never again assumed a leadership position. This is not said to belittle him as he was quite successful, but to style him as Governor seems a bit much, not to mention Governor of New Hampshire, which he most certainly was not.

He was said to have come with the Hiltons. Signed the Dover Combination: 1640

Sewell's Hisory of the Quakers says he rebuked his sons for being cruel to the Quakers. 
ROBERTS, Governor Thomas (I4516)
 
1980 Thomas Spencer, born around 1596 in England. His exact parentage and siblings are uncertain, and DNA testing has disproven previous beliefs about his lineage.

Thomas married Patience Chadbourne, daughter of William Chadbourne, likely in England. The couple's first child is estimated to have been born around 1630. Thomas was part of a group of adventurers who sailed on the barque "Warwick" in 1630, aiming to establish a settlement, trade with Native Americans, and obtain lumber. They settled around the Piscataqua and Newichawannock rivers. Thomas's wife, Patience, probably joined him the following year.

In 1633, Thomas returned to England and came back to the colonies on the "Pied Cow" in 1634, bringing supplies, more men, and materials for two mills. He initially settled at the falls of Asbenbedick and later inherited a large house and half of a mill at "Great Works" from his father-in-law. In 1650, Thomas purchased a tract of land called Quamphegan from the Sagamore of Newichewanacke, Mr. Rowles, and sold it to Thomas Broughton of Massachusetts.

Thomas was a planter and timber harvester, floating timber down the river and sawing it at his mill. He also became a tavern keeper. In 1652, he signed the official document submitting to Massachusetts' governance. However, in 1659, he was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers, indicating possible Quaker sympathies.

Thomas's brother-in-law, Humphrey Chadbourne, expressed concern for Patience in his will, suggesting she might need support. Thomas died on December 15, 1681, in Berwick, York, Massachusetts Bay Colony. His will, dated June 2, 1679, detailed the distribution of his estate, including his dwelling house and lands to his eldest son William, and other properties to his wife Patience for distribution among their children.

---------

Thomas arrived at Piscataqua in July 1630 on the barque Warwick (TMS), returned to England in 1633, and returned to the colonies on the Pied Cow in 1634.

Thomas was a planter, lumberman, and tavernkeeper. Pope's Pioneers of Maine & New Hampshire says that Thomas was a proprietor of Cambridge MA in 1633, a freeman in 1634 who removed to Kittery. Patience and Thomas lived first at Strawbery Bank (Portsmouth), then on 6 Mar 1636/7 were called residents of "Piscataqua" (Kittery Point), and finally of Newichawannock (S Berwick).

Thomas was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers in 1659 (LND, 652). Evidence that Thomas and Patience may have been Quakers is seen in the courts 7 July 1663 when they were presented for "neglecting to come to the publique meeteing on the Lords day to heare the word preached for about the space of 3 Moenths" (MPC II:139). They were presented again for the same offense on 6 July 1675 (ibid, II:306). In a long list of "those persons yt entertayned the Quakers, with the answers given in by them respectively" we find: "That Thomas Spencer pay as a fine to ye country for his entertayning the Quakers the somme of five pounds, & be disfranchised" (The Records of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Vol 4, part 1, p 407). Edward Wharton piloted a vessel that carried a group of Quakers up the coast, and seven people were fined varying sums and/or disenfranchised (lost the right to vote) by the Massachusetts Bay government, the only entity which could disenfranchise a freeman. Thomas Spencer obviously answered their questions in sympathy with the Quakers, defied the government, and was cast out as a result. Because we don't have copies of his answers to the Court's questions, we don't know how steadfastly he supported the Quakers, but he clearly satisfied the Court that he was in sympathy with them or they would not have taken action against him. They did not take action against James Rawlings, for instance, whom they found to be "more innocent and ingenious then the rest."

1982 Thomine's first husband died shortly after they were married, when she was pregnant with her second child. S quickly remarried as was necessary and expected in those days. Her second husband abandoned her by 1638, leaving her alone to care for her young daughter and son. As she was still technically married, she was unable to remarry and in May 1642 she requested and was given permission from governemnt authorities to sell the belonging she jointly ownder with her husband, as she needed the money. She received only 12 livres, an amount that illustrates her poverty.

In 1646, she was recruited by Noel Juchareau, a recruiter for New France. He had been a witness at her second marriage, so he was someone Thomine knew. On March 16, 1646 she arranged to rent her farm to Giles Chastel and did something almost no woman woudl do at that time, boarding a ship with her two teenaged children, bound for New France. It is believed that they sailed on the La Marguerite that arrived in Quebec on August 6, 1647.

Her daughter Francoise married soon after arriving in Quebec, and Thomine mostly likely lived with her. In 1656, she was one of several who received the Scapular of Mont-Carmel, and she was confirmed at Notre-Dame-de-Quebec on August 10, 1659. The last record of her was living in her daughter's household during the 1667 census.

Four different towns in four different countries were founded by and named after Yaroslav: Yaroslavl (in today's Russia), Yuryev (now Tartu, Estonia) and another Yuryev (now Bila Tserkva, Ukraine), and Jarosław in Poland. Following the Russian custom of naming military objects such as tanks and planes after historical figures, the helmet worn by many Russian soldiers during the Crimean War was called the "Helmet of Yaroslav the Wise". It was the first pointed helmet to be used by any army, even before German troops wore pointed helmets.

1990 To the Irish annals which recorded his death, Malcolm was ard rí Alban, High King of Scotland. In the same way that Brian Bóruma, High King of Ireland, was not the only king in Ireland, Malcolm was one of several kings within the geographical boundaries of modern Scotland: his fellow kings included the king of Strathclyde, who ruled much of the south-west, various Norse-Gael kings on the western coast and the Hebrides and, nearest and most dangerous rivals, the kings or Mormaers of Moray. To the south, in the Kingdom of England, the Earls of Bernicia and Northumbria, whose predecessors as kings of Northumbria had once ruled most of southern Scotland, still controlled large parts of the southeast. Malcolm demonstrated a rare ability to survive among early Scottish kings by reigning for twenty-nine years. He was a clever and ambitious man. SCOTLAND, King Malcolm II of (I7311)

Antoine was a farmer who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) from the Artois area of France about 1664 or 1665 (although, technically, it was the Spanish Netherlands at that time). He established a farm on Ile d'Orleans, an island in the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City, Canada. Over time, Antoine's sons and their sons migrated from there south to Montreal and Michigan and east to Maine and down the New England coast of the United States.

Barbe Ménard was a fil du rois, or 'Daughter of the King'. About 700 of these young ladies were given a dowry by King Louis XIV to induce them to emigrate to the colony of New France. In 1669, 16 year-old Barbe arrived in Quebec with a group of fil du rois and shortly thereafter married Antoine. Barbe was from a Hugenot family (protestant followers of John Calvin) in New Rochelle, France. She and Antoine had seven children before she died giving birth to twins in 1685.

The photograph attached to the first message in this thread is of the Ile d'Orleans St. Famille parish registry for the year 1669. It shows the record of Antoine's and Barbe's marriage along with the names of their parents and the names of the witnesses.

I have a transcription of the entry in French, which I do not read. I can make out the essential phrases, but if there is someone out there willing to do a translation, I'll provide the transcription and we can all share the results.

For those of you who haven't connected your Vermette roots with Antoine and Barbe, post your "brick walls" here in this forum. If everyone combines their information, we can all make the connections and correct any errors in our information.

As in all things genealogical, those with different information are encouraged to speak up! One of the reasons I've posted this information is to get some life back into this board!

2025 Update as of 10/24/23

Every online tree I have found have Hannah’s parents listed incorrectly. A transfer of deeds by Abednego Leather’s children and heirs in 1821, make it clear that Hannah is actually the child of Abednego Edwards and Elizabeth Woodward. I have not yet found a birth certificate, but this is the only reasonable explanation of relationships.

-----

Inconsistency:The Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 asserts that The parents of Martha G. Witherell who died in 1896 at the age of 86 were Joseph Stevens of Lee, NH and Hannah Langley of Nottingham, NH.

Previous line of research:

I have come to believe that Hannah's maiden name was actually Leathers and not Langley.

The major fact this is based on is the Rockingham County deed Book 233 pp-48-52 in which Hannah is indicated as an heir to Abednego Leather's property. Additionally, her daugther Araiadna's birth record names her Hannah Leathers. We know that many 19th centure Leathers in NH changed their names because of the stigma it carried. Could this be true of Hannah? If so, it seems most likely that she was a daughter of Abednego Leathers (1770-?) and Sarah Sally Langley (1779-?), although in the deed, she is called out as an heir along with Polly, Abednego, Martha, Mehitable, and Charity as an heir. All of these individuals were children of Abednego Leathers (1742 - 1?) and Elizabeth Woodman (1745-1809). Due to birth dates, it seems impossible that she is of this generation, but why would she be the only one of the next generation named?
