| 431 | Candlemas Massacre From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search An early incendiary attack The Candlemas Massacre took place in early 1692 during King William's War, when an estimated 150 Abenakis commanded by officers of New France entered the town of York, Maine, killing about 100 of the English settlers and burning down buildings, taking another estimated 80 villagers hostage, on a forced walk to Canada,[1] where they were ransomed by Capt. John Alden of Boston (son of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Plymouth Colony), who would soon be accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. The Indians set fire to all undefended houses on the north side of the York River, the principal route for trade and around which the town had grown. After the settlement was reduced to ashes, however, it was rebuilt on higher ground at what is today York Village. Although often referred to as the "Candlemas Massacre," Candlemas is traditionally celebrated by the Catholic Church on February 2, forty days after Christmas (or by the Church of England on that day or the Sunday between January 28 and February 3), the attack is reported in the diary of Samuel Sewall as having taken place on January 25 or 26: "Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1691/2.... This day...news was brought of an Attack made by the Indians on York."[2] Today the event is commemorated annually in York, with historical re-enactments and lectures, events presented by the Old York Historical Society and sponsored in part by the Maine Humanities Council.

| 434 | Capt. Anthony Eames, the youngest of Thomas and Millicent Eames’ five children, embarked on a transformative journey from England to America in 1633. At about 23, upon his father's death in 1618, Anthony's life took a decisive turn. His active involvement in local affairs as Churchwarden and Constable of Fordington Manor was a prelude to his decision to emigrate, inspired by letters from his sister-in-law Alice's brothers, who were among the early settlers in Charlestown. Sailing on the "Recovery" from Weymouth on March 31, 1633, Anthony, his wife Margery, and their children, including their last child Abigail born around 1632, arrived in New England. They first settled in Charlestown, where Anthony, alongside the Sprague brothers, signed the “Selectmen Government Agreement” in February 1634/5. The family soon moved to Hingham in 1636, receiving a plot of land. Anthony quickly became a prominent figure, representing Hingham in the general court and engaging in community leadership. His military experience in England translated well into his role in New England, where he was appointed Lieutenant in the Hingham Train Band and later Captain. He was actively involved in the defense and development of the town, from signing the charter for the 'Military Company of Massachusetts' in 1638 to operating the first Corn Mill in Hingham in 1643. In 1645, Anthony was central to a controversial incident in Hingham, leading to community divisions and even affecting the political climate in Boston. Despite this, he continued his service, moving to Marshfield Hills in Plymouth Colony in 1651, where he purchased land and became a respected member of the community. He served as a deputy to the general court and was involved in significant projects like demarcating the boundary between Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies. Capt. Anthony Eames' dedication to public service was recognized in 1659 when he petitioned for compensation for his efforts in running the boundary line, a request that was honored by the Massachusetts Bay Legislature. Margery, his steadfast companion, passed away in 1662 in Marshfield. Anthony lived until 1686, reaching the age of 91. | EAMES, Anthony Capt (I3466)

| 436 | Capt. Jonathan Alden was the youngest son of the Pilgrim, John Alden, and was born about 1627. He lived on the paternal domain, and was much employed in the civil atfairs of the town, and a selectman for several years He was much respected and honored by his townsmen, and inherited the virtues of his father. He was admitted a freeman in 1657, and chosen ensign of the company in 167i, afterwards lieutenant, and then captain, and continued in this capacity until his death, which occurred in February, 1697. He was buried under arms on the 17th, when an Address was delivered at the grave by Rev. Mr. VViswall, from which these passages are selected, - Alden' s Epitaphs. " .Neighbours and friends, we are assembled this day in a posture of mourning, to solemnize the funeral of the present deceased, to pay our last tribute of respect to a person well known among us. I need not enlarge upon his character, but, in brief, am bold to say thus much. He stepped over his youth, without the usual stains of vanity. In his riper years he approved himself a good Commonwealth's man ; and, which is the crown of all, a sincere Christian, one whose heart was in the house of God, even when his body was barred hence by the restraints of many difficulties, which confined him at home. He could say, in truth. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house. He earnestly desired the enlargement of Jerusalem, and inwardly lamented that the ways to Zion did mourn, because so few did flock to her solemn feasts ; but is now united to that general assembly, where is no more cause of sorrow on that account. " As to his quality in our militia, he was a leader, and I dare say rather loved than feared of his company. '• Fellow Soldiers, you are come to lay your leader in the dust, to lodge him in his quiet and solemn repose. You are no more to follow him in the field. No sound of rallying drum, nor shrillest trumpet will awaken him, till the general muster, when the Son of God will cause that trumpet to be blown, whose echoes shall shake the foundations of the heavens and the earth, and raise the dead. " Fellow Soldiers, you have followed him into the field, appeared in your arms, stood your ground, marched, countermarched, made ready, advanced, fired, and retreated ; and all at his command. You have been conformable to his millpdc tary commands and postures, and it is to your credit. But, let me tell you, this day he has acted one posture before your eyes, and your are all at a stand! No man stirs a foot after him ! But the day is hastening, wherein you must all conform to his present posture,- I mean, be laid in the dust." Mr. Wiswall, after olfering various solemn exhortations, with scriptural quotations, concluded his address thus :- " Fellow !:5oldiers ; Oh ! consider how dreadful it will prove, if, after you have with a matchless bravery of spirit acted the part of soldiers on earth, you should in the mean time forget your Christian armor and discipline, and bo numbered among those mentioned in Ezek. xxxii. 2(), 27, who, having been the terror of the mighty in the land of the living, yet went down to hell with their weapons of war, their iniquities remaining upon their bones! which that you may all escape, follow your deceased leader, as he followed Christ; and then though death may for a short space of time tyrannize over your frail bodies in the grave, yet you shall rise with him in triumph, when the great trumpet shall sound, and appear listed in the nmster roll of tlie Prince of the earth, the Captain of our eternal salvation."ommons@ hotmail.com. | ALDEN, Jonathan (I554)

| 441 | Carsten was referred to as "a farmer of Springfield, Maine" for a while. He has a footstone with his large stone in Newington. Also there are two markers, one a "US Veteran" and one a "Post 1 GAR". His obit in the Portsmouth Journal calls him a "late yeoman on the US Steamer Kearsage." The 1864 Portsmouth Directory shows that Carsten had a house on Dennett St. He was not in the 1860/61 directory nor the 1867 one. Neither was his wife. A Thomas H. De Wit posted bond as sureties of his estate 12 Sept. 1865. According to the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses, his daughter Sarah J Shannon claimed that her mother was born in British Guiana but that her father was born in New York. He was not. Carsten was an accountant in the 1860 Portsmouth, New Hampshire census: Carstine Dewit 52, accountant,born Demerara Anne E 43, born Demerara George Brown 20, farm laborer, born Demerara Thomas H Dewit 13, born New Hampshire Sarah J 9, born Maine Leonard O 6, born Maine Anna Maria 4, born Maine Carstin's marriage to Anna is also recorded in Portsmouth. | DEWIT, Carsten Bartholomew (I1288)

| 447 | Cattle precipitated the events of August 11, 1676 but probably provided only the immediate circumstance. On the 9th, neighboring Indians killed one of Anthony Brackett's cows. The circumstances are now unknown, but surely the Indians were making a point. Brackett was promised assistance in finding the culprits by an Indian named Simon whom, as historian William Willis' writes, "insinuated himself into his (Brackett's) confidence". This Simon turned out to be the Yankee Killer from Metacomet's army. He had recently escaped from Dover prison where he was held for murders committed during the previous summer. Simon is said to have had a "counterfeit pass". It is unlikely the Casco settlers knew any of this, but they were suspicious enough to send a report to Major Waldron at Dover. Travel was difficult, and communications were bad. Simon promised to bring the cattle slayers to Brackett, and he did. Very early on the morning of the 12th, Simon arrived with a war party whom he said killed the cow. Hardly contrite, the Indians ransacked the house and confiscated all the guns. Brackett asked the meaning of all this; he must have been stunned as it was obvious what was happening. Simon reputedly replied, "So it must be." Certainly it must, if the Indians were to reassert some control over their homelands. Brackett and his family were given the choice of submission to their captors or death. Ann Brackett's brother, Nathaniel Mitton, was visiting at the time. Mitton was unmarried and possibly quite a young man which might explain what happened next. He "offered some resistance" and was immediately killed. Certainly, this example provided the Brackett's with adequate incentive for submissive behavior. The two parents, five children and a Negro slave were bound together and carried off into captivity. | MITTON, Nathaniel (I8828)

He fought successive wars with neighbors in Brittany, Blois, Poitou and Aquitaine and traveled four times to Jerusalem on pilgrimage during the course of his life. Fulk was a natural horseman and a fearsome warrior, with a keen sense of military strategy that saw him get the better of most of his opponents. Fulk was also a devout Christian, and built, enlarged or endowed several abbeys and monasteries, such as the Abbey of Beaulieu-les-Loches, Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Saint-Aubin, and a convent, Notre Dame de la Charité at Ronceray in Angers. Although he never learned to write, he endowed a school with revenue to provide poor students with an education. Fulk also undertook four pilgrimages to Jerusalem. | ANJOU, Fulk III of (I7345)

| 456 | Charlemagne initially intended to divide his Carolingian Empire between Louis and his brothers Pepin and Charles, who nevertheless died in quick succession in 810/11. On 10 September 813, Charlemagne designated Louis his successor and had him proclaimed co-emperor. Ermengarde's husband became sole ruler as Holy Roman Emperor and King of the Franks upon his father's death on 28 January 814. The couple was anointed and crowned Emperor and Empress by Pope Stephen IV on 5 October 816 in Reims Cathedral.[2] | HESBAYE, Ermengarde of (I301)

| 462 | Charles Martel, who became Mayor of the Palace in 715, was an experienced warrior who was far-sighted enough to realize that a strong leader needed a permanent cavalry force; his attentiveness to the techniques of war would be part of the heritage that his son and grandson would inherit and put to good use. Because Charles Martel was illegitimate, he was not originally considered a contender in the power struggle that resulted when his father, Pepin II died; Charles was not even mentioned in his father’s will. However, that would not be an impediment for a Carolingian. Pepin’s widow, Plectrude, captured Charles and imprisoned him, but he escaped and raised an army which succeeded in overcoming his enemies. By 719, firmly ensconced as the Mayor of the Palace with the experience of authority established, power over the Franks was in his hands. He continued to fight against the enemies who presented a security threat against the eastern boundaries of the kingdom. | MARTEL, Charles (I7200)

| 463 | Charles, the King of the Franks, was the first leader since the fall of the Roman Empire to rule over a united Western Europe, branding his legend and legacy over a geography that would today cover what is now Belgium, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, and western Germany. Charles’ goal was to unite all the Germanic people into a single Christian kingdom. However, Charlemagne perceived a purpose to Christian living apart from its spiritual benefits; his sense of order realized that people who lived by a uniform code of behavior served the nation better. Charles the Great reconfigured the map of Western Europe with his military conquests, restored Latin as the language of the educated, and bolstered the Papacy with his armies. He married often and fathered many children, some legitimate, some not; he lived long and, during his lifetime, his Empire flourished. But his heirs could not sustain his greatness -his unification of Western Europe did not last. His legend, however, is eternal. He is such an integral figure in medieval history that, had he not been born, lived, and ruled, the destiny of Europe would have been altered. He is regarded not only as the father of Europe, because he unified the continent from the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea for the first time since Rome fell, but also as the father of modern France and Germany. | CHARLEMAGNE (I55)

| 482 | Christian Remick, born in 1631, either in England or Holland, made his way to the American colonies, arriving in Maine around 1651 or 1652. Settling in Kittery, he quickly established himself as a vital member of the community. His skills as a planter and surveyor were in high demand in the growing settlement. In 1655, Christian married Hannah Foster, (note that this is not the daughter of Andrew Foster and Ann Alcock as many family trees show her). At the time of her marriage, it is possible that she was Widow Thompson. Christian and Hannah had a large family, including children named Hannah, Mary, Jacob, Sarah, Isaac, Abraham, Martha, Joshua, Lydia, and another Sarah, all born in Kittery. Christian's civic engagement was notable. He signed the submission to Massachusetts in 1652, marking Kittery's acknowledgment of Massachusetts' jurisdiction. He served multiple terms as a selectman between 1670 and 1688, a role that involved overseeing town affairs and representing the community's interests. In 1692, he also served as a representative to the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts. Christian's contributions to Kittery extended beyond governance. He was a landowner, with records showing he received several grants, including a 52-acre plot where he built his homestead. His role as a surveyor was crucial in a time when land management and development were key to the town's growth. Christian Remick's life in Kittery was that of a respected and integral member of the community. His work, both in his professional capacity and as a town official, played a significant role in the early development of Kittery. He passed away after May 12, 1718, leaving behind a legacy marked by his contributions to the early American colonial life. | REMICK, Christian (I16321)

| 486 | Claude Poulin, born and baptized on January 26, 1616, in the parish of Saint-Maclou in Rouen, Normandy, was the son of Pascal Poulin and Marie Levert. His early education and apprenticeship as a carpenter likely took place under the guidance of monks at Saint-Maclou de Rouen. In 1636, at the age of 20, Claude embarked on a life-changing journey to New France. He arrived in Quebec on June 11, 1636, aboard a ship commanded by Sieur Courpon, part of a wave of new families recruited to bolster the fledgling colony. Jeanne Mercier, born around 1627 in Les Sables-d'Olonne, Poitou, arrived in New France a few years after Claude. Though her parents' names are unknown, we know she had a sister, Denise, who married François Baugis and immigrated to New France around 1640-1641. On August 8, 1639, Claude Poulin and Jeanne Mercier were married in Quebec City. Claude, a literate carpenter, was 23 years old, while Jeanne, who could not sign her name, was only about 12 or 13. Their union marked the beginning of a significant family line in New France. The couple's first child, Marie, was baptized on January 1, 1641, in Trois-Rivières. Shortly after, Claude and Jeanne made a surprising decision to return to France. During their time there, they had two more children: Pascal, baptized on February 15, 1645, and Madeleine, baptized on June 27, 1646, both at Saint-Maclou de Rouen. In the summer of 1648, the Poulin family returned to New France, settling initially in Quebec City. Over the next 16 years, they had six more children: Martin (1648), René (1651), Ignace (1655), Marguerite (1658), Marie (1661), and Pierre (1664). As their family grew, they moved to the Beaupré coast, where Claude received a land grant of six arpents in 1651. Tragedy struck the family in 1661 when their sons Pascal, 16, and René, 10, either became lost in the woods or were captured by the Iroquois. This loss was a stark reminder of the dangers faced by settlers in New France. Despite this heartbreak, Claude and Jeanne persevered. The 1667 census shows Claude as a 48-year-old carpenter and habitant, with Jeanne, 40, and their remaining children. By 1681, their household had changed, with only their adult sons Martin, Ignace, and Pierre still living at home. Claude and Jeanne were active members of their community. Claude contributed to the construction of the church at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, both financially and with his carpentry skills. The couple's generosity and involvement in church affairs suggest they were respected members of their community. Jeanne Mercier passed away on December 14, 1687, at the age of about 60. She was buried the next day at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Claude followed her just three days later, dying on December 17 at the age of 71. He was buried in the church of Sainte-Anne on December 18. Their nearly simultaneous deaths may have been due to the smallpox or measles epidemics that affected the colony that year. | MERCIER, Jeanne (I13115)

| 493 | Complete Peerage 12(1) (1953): 617-620 has a good account of Gilbert Talbot, K.G., 5th Lord Talbot (died 1418). Regarding his marriage to his surviving wife, Beatrice of Portugal, the following information is given: "He married, about 1415, Beatrice, a Portuguese lady, perhaps of the family of Pinto. He died s.p.m. 19 October 1418 at the siege of Rouen. His widow married before 1423 Thomas Fettiplace, of East Shefford, Berkshire, who died between 1442 and 1446 and was buried there. M.I. She died on Christmas day 1447 and was buried at East Shefford aforesaid. M.I." END OF QUOTE. The identification of Beatrice simply as "Portuguese lady" is a bit misleading. There are no less than four visitations which mention this lady, and in all of them she is identified as a daughter of the King of Portugal. The four visitation records are listed below. Furthermore, Collectanea Top. et Gen. 1 (1834): 80-90 indicates that Beatrice bore the ancient arms of Portugal, both on her seal and impaled with those of her husband, Gilbert Talbot. For whatever reason, Complete Peerage ignored the evidence of the visitations. | DE PINTO, Beatrix (I7072)

In England, he drew on the existing Anglo-Saxon system of justice, local government and taxation, but also strengthened it with additional institutions, including the royal exchequer and itinerant justices. Normandy was also governed through a growing system of justices and an exchequer. Many of the officials who ran Henry's system were "new men" of obscure backgrounds rather than from families of high status, who rose through the ranks as administrators. Henry encouraged ecclesiastical reform, but became embroiled in a serious dispute in 1101 with Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, | HENRY, King of England I (I786)

| 500 | Copied from http://www.seacoastnh.com/Famous-People/Framers-of-Freedom/The-Gilmans-of-Exeter/ During the time of the Revolution, there was one branch of the Gilman family of particular prominence -- the Nicholas Gilmans. At the onset of the Revolution in 1775, Col. Nicholas Gilman was 44 years old, married and the father of eight children. Sons John Taylor Gilman, 22, and Nicholas, 20, were active in various services of the war. Nathaniel, 16, remained at home to help his father. In later years, these three sons would become important to the state in their own right. The Gilman home, purchased from Nathaniel Ladd in 1752 and enlarged, became the state treasury when Nicholas was appointed treasurer in 1775 by the provincial government. It was here that bills were paid, currency signed to make it legal tender, and receipts kept in a black iron chest. This ponderous strongbox with its huge key remains in the same room today. Nicholas had been a shipbuilder and merchant before the trials of the emerging new government demanded use of his financial ability. Called the "Brains of the Revolution in New Hampshire," he had chief responsibility for fiscal matters within the state. Although he was in command of the Fourth Regiment of the New Hampshire militia and was at Saratoga in 1777, he took no recorded part in any of the military encounters during this time. His most important duty was serving as Meschech Weare's "right arm" in the civil government of New Hampshire. Nicholas and Ann Gilman lived to see the end of the war, but died within three weeks of each other in the spring of 1783. After the alarm of Lexington and Concord, Nicholas' oldest son, John Taylor Gilman, hurried with other Exeter patriots to Cambridge. Although caught up in the Revolutionary fervor of the day, he found time to woo and win the "Belle of Exeter," Deborah Folsom, Nathaniel Folsom's daughter, whom he married on June 13, 1776. When the Declaration of Independence arrived in Exeter the 16th of July, John Taylor Gilman was selected to read it to the townspeople from the steps of the town house. The following year John, as state pension agent, compiled registration lists of all the disabled soldiers and certified that they were entitled to aid. He represented New Hampshire at the Continental Congress for one term and became treasurer of the state upon his father's death in 1783. He was elected governor as a Federalist in 1794 and held that post intermittently for a total of 14 years, the longest any man has held this office since Colonial times. He died in 1828 at age 75. Nicholas (he never was referred to as Nicholas, Jr.), like his father and brother, quickly became one of the leaders of this era. At 20, he entered the army as captain and then became adjutant of the Third Regiment, New Hampshire line. He served only six years, joining Washington's staff in 1778 as senior deputy adjutant general. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Gilman made an accounting of the men taken prisoners. When Nicholas was 32, he was elected with John Langdon as a delegate from New Hampshire to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Gilman was one of the youngest of the 39 signers of the federal Constitution. His draft copy of the proposed Constitution with his marginal notes of amendments now hangs in his boyhood home, the "State Treasury." Nicholas Gilman's diligence and interest in politics were rewarded when he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1789. There he served four consecutive terms before his election as senator in 1805. He was in his second term as senator when, returning from Washington, he became seriously ill. He died a few days later--May 2, 1814--in Philadelphia. Senator Gilman had made his home with his brother, Nathaniel, and at his death left him the bulk of his estate--a gift much appreciated since Nathaniel had a large family and was known for his "generous hospitality." During the Revolutionary years, Nathaniel assumed some of the family obligations while his older brothers were away and assisted his father with the state finances. Although he is referred to as "colonel" because of his affiliation with the local militia, he never saw military action. In 1782 his father had purchased the Dr. Odlin house on Front Street in Exeter and upon his death the following year, the house became Nathaniel's property. (His oldest brother, John, fell heir to the "State Treasury ") It was here that Nathaniel brought his young bride, 17-year-old Abigail Odlin. She soon had many responsibilities: besides a growing family to look after, she had to supervise the servants who helped maintain the large farm while her husband was serving as state treasurer and financial agent of the federal government. Following the birth of their fourth child, in 1796, Abigail died at the age of 28. A few years later, Nathaniel, almost 40, married 20-year-old Deborah Folsom, Nathaniel Folsom's granddaughter, and the family was increased by seven children. Nathaniel never entered public life as extensively as his older brother had, but he did serve his community as a member of the House of Representatives for one term, and twice as senator. He was elected to important town offices and was a leader in various public enterprises. On January 26, 1847, Nathaniel, almost 88 years old, died at home. | GILMAN, Colonel Nicholas (I2203)
