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.

504 Cotton Mather, in Magnalia, Vol 1, Page 495, writes:

"One Matthew Pratt, whose religious parents had well instructed him in his minority, when he was twelve years of age became totally deaf through sickness, and so hath ever since continued. He was taught after this to write, as he had been before to read; and both his reading and his writing he remaineth perfectly, but he has almost forgotten to speak; speaking out imperfectly, and scare intelligible, and very seldom.

He is yet a very judicious Christian, and being admitted into the communion of the church, he was therein for many years behaved himself unto the extreme satisfaction of good people in the neighborhood. Sarah Prat, the wife of this man, is one also who was altogether deprevied of her hearing by sickness when she was about the third year of her age; but having utterly lost her hearing, she has utterly lost her speach also, and no doubt all rememberance of everything that refers to language.

Mr. Thatcher made an essay to teach her the use of letters, but it succeeded not; however, she discourses by signs, whereat some of her friends are so expert as to maintain a conversation with her upon any point whatever, with as much freedom and fullness as if she wanted neither tongue nor ear for conference. Her children do learn her signs from the breast, and speak sooner by her eyes and hands than by their lips. From her infancy she was very sober and modest; but she had no knowledge of a Deity, nor of anything that concerns another life and world. Nevertheless, God, of his infinite mercy, has revealed the Lord Jesus Christ, and the great mysteries of salvation by him, unto her, by a more extraordinary and immediate operation of his own spirit unto her, an account of her experience was written from her, by her husband; and the elders of the church employing her husband, with two of her sisters who are notably skilled in her way of communication, examined her strictly hereabout, and they found that she understood the unity of the divine essence, and trinity of persons in the Godhead; the personal union in our Lord, the mystical union between our Lord and his church; and that she was acquainted with the impressions of grace upon a regenerate soul. She was under great exercise of mind, about her internal and eternal state; she expressed unto her friends her desire for help; and she made use of the Bible, and other good books, and with tears remarked such passages as were suitable to her own condition. Yea, she once, in her exercise wrote with a pin upon a trencher, three times over, "Ah poor soul!" and therewith, before divers person, burst into tears. She was admitted into the church with the general approbation of the faithful,.....and her carriage is that of a grave, gracious, holy woman."

514 Darby Field, an early settler, initially made his appearance in Boston, Massachusetts in 1636 before moving to Durham, New Hampshire by 1638. In Durham, he operated a ferry service between Durham Point and Newington, navigating across Little Bay. Field was recognized for his linguistic skills, particularly as a translator for Native American languages. His residences included Marblehead in 1637 and Oyster River in 1639. In the same year, he actively participated in the local community, as evidenced by his signature on the Exeter Combination. Field was a dynamic figure, deeply involved in the contemporary matters of his time. By 1638, he had mastered the Native American language and frequently worked as an interpreter.

His adventurous spirit led him to be the pioneer European to climb Mt. Washington, situated in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Despite his early achievements, Field's later years were shadowed by mental health issues. As per the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, his vibrant but brief life was eventually overshadowed by mental illness.

Mt. Field, which stands at 4,326 feet within the White Mountains' Willey Range and adjacent to Crawford Notch, is named in honor of Darby Field. He is famously recognized for his 1642 expedition of Mt. Washington, a venture driven by his quest for minerals, specifically diamonds. However, he only found quartz, leading to profound disappointment. His ensuing erratic behavior resulted in his confinement for the safety of himself and others. A court ruling mandated that Strawberry Bank, New Hampshire (later known as Portsmouth), should contribute financially to the costs associated with his detention and care.

521 Deacon Jonas Humphrey, son of Jonas and Frances Humphrey, was born in Wendover, England, about the year 1620, as in 1688 he called himself sixty-eight years old. He came to New England with his father in 1637, was located in Dorchester for a few years and then settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It seems, however, that he must have maintained a place of residence in each town, for he held office in Weymouth in 1648, while his two eldest children were born in Dorchester at later dates. lle settled permanently in Weymouth in 1653-54, and lived in the north part of the town, at the place called 'old south farm,' and the old homestead on Neck street was kept in the family for nearly two hundred years afterwards. He was a leading man in Weymouth, where he was made freeman in 1653, and held the office of selectman many years, a part of the time being chairman of the board. For many years also he was deacon in the church. He died February

11. 1698-99, aged seventy-nine years, and his will, dated August 6, 1692-93, was admitted to probate March 30, 1699. Deacon Humphrey married probably in Dorchester,

but neither the name of his wife nor the date of their marriage are known. She was called Martha. They had six children: 1. Samuel, born in Dorchester, 1649, married Mary Torrey. 2. Nathaniel, born in Dorchester, 1652,

married Elizabeth . 3. Jonas, born in

Weymouth, February 24, 1655, married Mary Phillips. 4. John, born in Weymouth, August 31, 1658. 5. Sarah, born in Weymouth, May 16, 1661. 6. James, born in Weymouth, September 10, 1665, married first, Thankful ,

second, Margaret Torrey.

527 Deposition against Susannah Martin 11 May 1692

The deposition of William Brown of Salisbury, aged seventy years, who, testifying, saith: That about one or two and thirty years ago Elizabeth, his wife, being a very rational woman and sober, and one that feared God, as was well known to all that knew her, and as prudently careful in her family, which woman going upon a time from her own house towards the mill in Salisbury, did there meet with Susanna Martin, the then wife of George Martin of Amesbury. Just as they came together the said Susanna Martin vanished away out of her sight, which put the said Elizabeth into a great fright; after which time the said Martin did many times appear to her at her house, and did much trouble her in many of her occasions; and this continued until about February following, and then, when she did come, it was as birds pecking her legs or pricking her with the motion of their wings; and then it would rise up into her stomach, with pricking pain, as nails and pins; of which she did bitterly complain, and cry out like a woman in travail; and after that it would rise up to her throat in a bunch like a pullet’s egg, and then she would turn back her head an say, ‘Witch, ye sha’nt choke me.’

In the times of this extremity the church appointed a day of humiliation, to seek God on her behalf, and thereupon her trouble ceased, and she saw goodwife Martin no more for a considerable time, for which the church, instead, of a day of humiliation, gave thanks for her deliverance. She came to meeting and went about her business as before. This continued ‘till April following, at which time the summonses were sent to the said Elizabeth Brown and goodwife Osgood by the court to give their evidences concerning the said Martin; and they did, before the grand jury, give a full account.

After which time the said Elizabeth told this deponent that, as she was milking her cow, the said Susanna Martin came behind her and told her that she would make her the miserablest creature for defaming her name at the court, and wept grievously as she told it to this deponent. About two months after this deponent came home from Hampton, and his said wife would not own him, but said they were divorced, and asked him whether he did not meet with one Mrs. Bent of Albury, in England, by whom he was divorced. And from that time to this very day she has been under a strange kind of distemper and frenzy, incapable of any rational action, though strong and healthy of body.

He further testifyeth that when she came into that condition this deponent [got] Doctors Fuller and Crosby to come to her for her release, but they did both say that her distemper was supernatural, no sickness of body, but that some evil person had bewitched her.

Sworn the eleventh day of May Anno Domini 1692, before me, Robert Pike, Assistant.

576 Donald McKenzie's son John McKenzie was baptized on 15 Apr 1845 at the United Church in Breadalban. My research has shown that Lot 67 was populated in the 1830s and 1840s by Highlanders who came from the Isle of Skye area. Is this where Donald is from? MAC KENZIE, Donald (I2063)
 
577 Dorothy Barker was a member of the Church of Dorchester, MA in 1636 to Nov. 4, 1639. (p. 517) [1] [2]

The widow Dorothy Barker, married Enoch Hunt at Weymouth as his second wife. After his death she married third John King of Weymouth in 1652. (p. 159)[3]

It is believed that Barker is NOT her maiden name, but the name of an unknown third husband prior to Enoch Hunt.

580 Dr Joseph graduated from Harvard in 1745 and became a doctor contrary to his father's wishes (he wanted him to be a minister). He settled in Newington but moved to Barnstead in 1792. He married Joanna Gilman, dau of Ezekiel Gilman and Sarah Dudley. The Adams genealogy says that Ezekiel was commander of the New Hampshire forces at the taking of Louisburg in 1745.

According to the revised edition of the Gilman genealogy, "Ezekiel did not die at the Louisburg Garrison as has been stated. In 1749 he deeded land in Exeter to his son Bradstreet and in 1748 distinguished himself by his original device for transporting artillery over swamps. The Major was a lumberman and had drawn masts over boggy ground on sleds and adopted the same method with artillery with complete success, teams of men being used instead of oxen or horses."

594 During the 1901 Census of Canada, John and Barbara and three children, A. Christie (8 Mar 1886), D. John (8 Jun 1888), and Voilet (16 May 1892) on PEI. He is noted as a Presbyterian, as is the rest of his family. It says he lived in DISTRICT NUMBER: 136; SUB-DISTRICT: Lot (township/canton) 21; SUB-DISTRICT NUMBER: C-1. His birth is noted as being 15 Apr 1849. However, it is assumed the census taker wrote this incorrectly as his baptism record say 1845. Two doors down there is a John Corbett born in 1844, his wife Sarah b. 4 Apr 1851 and 2 children - 19 yo A. Hector and 17 yo A. Margaret. Could these be Barbara's brother and his family?

In the 1910 US Census, John, Barbara and their two adult sons Hector and John D. were living on North Hampton Rd. in Greenland, NH. John A. was listed as a farm manager, able to read but not write. He was born in PEI, but his father was born in Scotland. His two sons were listed as farm laborers. They were renting. The immigration year for all of them was listed as 1908, with the exception of Hector who was listed as 1906. All four of these family members are buried in the South Granville Presbyterian Cemetery on PEI and we know that is where John and Barbara died on Christmas Day 1914, so they must have returned to PEI sometime between 1910 and 1914. Their daughter Annie was married to Harry DeRochemont of Newington. Annie and her baby died in 1906, but their other grandchildren remained in Newington, so clearly they had some ties to the New Hampshire seacoast region.

it is important to keep in view that the Scots became the largest ethnic group on the island and that PEI was to become the most Scottish province in Canada. Moreover, as Kennedy has suggested, over 80% of the Scots on PEI were from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland

595 During the 1940 Census, John W. Derochemont was enumerated living in Newington where he was a renter. He was 42 years old and was living with his wife Elspy (35), and their 8 children: Jacquilyn (14), John W. (13), Elinore M. (11), Lucinda A. (9), Norman H. (8), Marilyn A. (8), Elspy (6), and Mary P. (5). His uncle Jospeh A. DeRochemont (age 61) was also living with them. John W. indicated he had completed 8 years of school. Elspy had completed high school (12 years of schooling). They reported having been living in the same house in 1935. John was working as a "helper" mason.

John's father - Harry - was living alone in the house next door. On the other side, Henriette DeRochemont (age 74) was living with her two sisters Marie (61) and Sara (69). Percy DeRochemont and his family (a wife and 3 teen children) were living a few doors away. John W. was the only renter; all his other family who were neighbors owned their homes.

In 1953, in the 31 Aug edition of the Portsmouth Herald, in his uncle Frederick William's funeral notice, "J. William" deRochemont is listed as a pallbearer.

John Willie's death certificate notes that he is divorced. This must have happened after 1940 as Elspy was still living with him at that point.

Elspy Mae died in 1956, her death was reported by her mother. Her name is reported in the death certificate as "Elspy Mae Cassidy" but her marriage status is divorced, so it is assumed that she married again after divorcing John Willie, but had divorced again by the time of her death. Elspy is buried with her parents in the Pine Hill Cemetery in Dover, under her maiden name of Shorey.

598 Ebenezer was a soldier at Crown Point and Ticonderoga during the Revolutionary War.

Fort Ticonderoga was captured on May 10, 1775, when a small force of Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen and Colonel Benedict Arnold overcame a small British garrison at the fort and looted the personal belongings of the garrison. Cannons and other armaments from the fort were transported to Boston and used to fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the Siege of Boston.

After seizing Ticonderoga, a small detachment captured the nearby Fort Crown Point on May 11.

Aug., 1776, in Capt. Caleb Hodgdon's Co., and in Capt. Abraham Perham's Co., Col. Pierce Long, Dec. 7, 1776, to Jan. 7, 1777;

Notes from Debbie Wilson:

Stuart Merrill in his History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, 1979, states that Ebenezer married Lydia Hoyt in 1779, that in the census of 1790 he included in his family two boys and three girls. He is buried on the farm according to Merrill. Merrill maintains that son James lived on his father's farm, and we know this from the pension information below. The pension file of Ebenezer reads as follows:

"April 6, 1818, Ebenezer Adams of Barnstead, Strafford Co. New Hampshire aged 64 deposed:
that he enlisted Nov. 1775 and served two months; enlisted again in March, 1776, and served four months; in August, 1776, enlisted at New Castle, New Hampshire under Capt. Abraham Perkins, in the New Hampshire Line, where he served as a sergeant for twelve months, and in August, 1777, was discharged at Stillwater, N.Y. He was in the battles of Fort Ann and Skenesboro. The same day Dudley G. Adams of Gilmanton, testified to service in the company commanded by Capt. Abraham Perkins, and Ebenezer Adams, Sergeant, as did Israel Huckins of Barrington, New Hampshire.
William Walker , Noah Robinson and John Kinne, Selectmen, testify to soldier's need of a pension. Claim allowed and Certificate North 16498 was issued Feb. 14, 1820 Act March 18, 1818 for one years service as private.
May 2, 1820 soldier submitted a schedule of his property, but stated that he owned a considerable amount. He mentions a wife, Lydia, aged 62 yrs, a daughter, 30 yrs. of age, and a grandson, 11 yrs. old in his family.

His name was dropped from the rolls on account of property. In 1822 soldier applied for a renewal of pension, stating that when his name was dropped, his creditors foreclosed, and that now he has not more than fifty dollars' worth of property. A number of citizens of the town testify in his behalf, among whom were: James Adams (no relation stated), John Bickford, Abraham and Daniel Bunker, John Daniels, Reverend Enos George, Pastor of the Congregational church in town, of which Ebenezer is a member, Jeremiah Jewett, John and William Nutter, John Peavey and Joseph Tasker.

November 25, 1824, James Adams of Barnstead, New Hampshire testified that he was present when Harrison Hoyt Adams, formerly of Barnstead, but now of Kittery, York County, Maine agreed to pay off what he owed to various persons, among whom were: Ebenezer Adams (who died June 1, 1820), Ebenezer Coe, store-keeper, Jedediah Leighton, Betsy Adams, who nursed the family in several illnesses, Dr. Thomas Shannon of Pittsfield, New Hampshire, Joanna Pease, Nancy Merrill, Charles Hodgdon . Esq., Stephen Watson, as well as Harrison Hoyt Adams and James Adams. Owing to business troubles, H.H. Adams was obliged to sell the farm, and it was bought by James Adams, etc.

Ebenezer Adams was, therefore, restored to the roll; and a certificate with the same number was issued April 1, 1828, according to Acts of March 18, 1818, and May 1, 1820."

600 Edgar was crowned at Bath and anointed with his wife Ælfthryth, setting a precedent for a coronation of a queen in England itself. Edgar's coronation did not happen until 973, in an imperial ceremony planned not as the initiation, but as the culmination of his reign (a move that must have taken a great deal of preliminary diplomacy). This service, devised by Dunstan himself and celebrated with a poem in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, forms the basis of the present-day British coronation ceremony.

Known as a reformer. Edgar oversaw realignment of county boundaries that woudl endure for more than 1000 years (until 1974) and also reformed weights and measures and the coinage.
