ALICE HARCOURT (c.1450-c.1526)
Alice Harcourt was the daughter of Sir Richard Harcourt of Wytham, Berkshire (1416-October 1, 1486) and Edith St. Clare (d. before November 8, 1472). She married William Beselles or Bessiles of Besils Leigh, Berkshire and after his death took a vow of chastity. They had one daughter, Elizabeth. In 1520-21 and again in 1523-26, Alice and two servants lived at the nunnery of Syon, where her granddaughter, Susan Fettiplace, was also a vowess and two other granddaughters, Eleanor Fettiplace and Dorothy Coddington or Goddrington (née Fettiplace), were nuns. In her will, she made alternate burial provisions depending upon whether she was at Syon or Besselsleigh at the time of her death.

Notes:
Reverend Samuel Dudley was among the founding families of Salisbury, MA
From Collections, Topographical, Historical, and Biographical New Hampshire, Vol 1 (1822) Pgs 156-157
Received his education in England, began his ministry in Exeter, NH in 1650. Died 1683 aged 77
Rev. Samuel Dudley, was born at Canons Ashley, England, 1606, eldest son of Thomas Dudley, many times elected governor of Massachusetts Colony, and his first wife, Dorothy Yorke. Rev. Samuel Dudley came to America in 1630 with his father Thomas and Governor Winthrop.
Rev. Samuel Dudley was baptized on 30 November 1608 in All Saints, Northampton, England. Rev. Samuel Dudley graduated in 1626 from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He came to New England in 1630 on the Arabella. He lived in Cambridge, Ipswich and Salisbury as a planter and a farmer; called to Exeter, New Hampshire, 30 May 1650 where he settled as minister. He married firstly Mary Winthrop, daughter of Governor John Winthrop and Mary Forth, about 1632. Rev. Samuel Dudley died on 10 February 1682/83 in Exeter, New Hampshire, at the age of 74.

In 1630 came the arrival of John Winthrop and Thomas Dudley of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Aboard the Arabella from Yarmouth, England, Winthrop and Dudley sailed, and after a difficult ten week voyage, they landed on the shores of the New World, with Salem and Boston Harbor being the Arabella's earliest destinations. In 1637, the General Court of Massachusetts granted some 2,200 acres (9 km²) of land, including Huckins Farmland to the first residential Governor Winthrop and Deputy Governor Dudley. The following year, the two men agreed to divide the land so that the parcel south of the two large boulders by the Concord River (Brothers Rocks) belonged to Governor Winthrop and north of the Rocks was to belong to Deputy Governor Dudley. Later, Dudley became governor. Dudley’s son Rev. Samuel Dudley[1] and Winthrop’s daughter Mary were married, thus Brothers Rocks were so named because of this marriage of families.
The Two Brothers
When Governor Winthrop and his Deputy Thomas Dudley viewed their lands in early 1638, they decided to use two great stones on the site to divide the property. Winthrop claimed the land to one side of one rock; Dudley claimed the land on the other side of the other rock. They named the rocks "The Two Brothers." Over the years, the two men had many differences; however they learned to work together and even considered themselves "brothers" by their children's marriage. The rocks have come to symbolize the men's spirit of cooperation and democracy. The two brothers can still be seen near the banks of the Concord River in the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.

The Reverend Samuel Dudley
by Barbara Rimkunas
This "Historically Speaking" column appeared in the Exeter News-Letter on Friday, May 24, 2013.
In Exeter, as in most of New England in the 1600s, the most important man in town was the minister. The Reverend John Wheelwright had organized Exeter in 1638, but had been forced to leave when the townsmen voted to align themselves with the Massachusetts Bay Colony just five years later. Some of Wheelwright’s followers left with him, but many remained and quietly absorbed newcomers who arrived after Wheelwright’s departure. Although the town was able to govern itself with elders and selectmen, not having a spiritual leader weighed heavily on the inhabitants.
Wheelwright had hoped that his friend Thomas Rashleigh would accept the job, but Rashleigh refused for his own reasons. A substitute, the Reverend Hatevil Nutter of Dover, was asked to fill-in while the town searched for a new permanent minister. It was a time when money was in short supply, and so the Rev. Nutter was paid not with cash but with service. He owned a tract of land on the Lamprey River and it needed fencing. Every year, the townsmen of Exeter were required to donate time and materials to enclose the property. After five years, the job was done, the Reverend Nutter signed the town book acknowledging the work was done and his services were no longer needed. Fortunately, by that time, June of 1650, the search committee had located a new preacher when the Reverend Samuel Dudley accepted the call to come to Exeter.
It had been difficult finding someone to serve the town. There were few trained ministers available and Exeter had little to offer. It was still a fledgling community; the only resources in town were trees and fish. Several times, the committee had made offers to likely candidates, only to see the deal fall through. To attract Dudley, they had to make his commitment worth the privations he would have to endure. In exchange for his services, Mr. Dudley was to receive Wheelwright’s house, garden and cow-house - all of which needed some renovations before he could move in. He would also receive £40 a year as pay. The particulars are written into a contract that was transcribed into the town records, “it is further agreed upon that the old cow-house, which was Mr. Wheelwright’s, shall by the town be fixed up fit for the settling of cattle in, and that the aforesaid pay of £40 a year is to be made in good pay every half year, in corn and English commodities at a price current, as they go generally in the country at the time or times of payment.”
There was very little actual money circulating in the colonies during this time and commerce was done with a barter system similar to the Rev. Dudley’s contract. To pay the minister his due, townsmen were taxed based on the number of pipe staves, hogshead staves or bolts that they produced. These were finished pieces of saleable lumber that the people used as currency. The tax rate, as listed in the town records, was, “for every thousand of pipe staves he makes, two shillings, which shall be for the maintenance of the ministry; and for every thousand of hogshead staves, one shilling sixpence; and for every thousand of bolts sold before they be made into staves, four shillings.” All the lumber had to be delivered to the wharf twice annually and would be shipped down the river to Portsmouth or Boston to be exchanged for “English commodities.” The type of goods that were collected was not listed, but one can imagine Mr. Dudley received bolts of cloth, tea and rum for his efforts. Some of these he would no doubt trade around town in exchange for other goods. It was a complicated system - how much was one yard of cloth worth? Perhaps two or three chickens?
Dudley came to the town well-recommended from Massachusetts. He was the son of Governor Thomas Dudley and, although not university trained, had studied hard under his father’s tutelage and was considered well-qualified to preach. His first wife, Mary, had been the daughter of Governor John Winthrop. After Mary’s death in Salisbury, Dudley had married Mary Byley of Salisbury. She was his wife when he arrived in Exeter in 1650. After her death, he married a third time, to Elizabeth Smith of Exeter. The succession of wives bore him eighteen children, a sure sign of God’s grace to the people of that era.
Quite often during his tenure, the town was incapable of paying him the promised £40. To keep him in town, he was granted land and water rights. At the time of his death, his personal inventory showed him to be a man of means and great commercial instincts.
Dudley remained in Exeter and served as minister for thirty-three years. Charles Bell, author of the “History of Exeter, New Hampshire,” comments that, “there was no visible sign of failure of the powers, physical or mental, of Mr. Dudley, as he drew on to old age. When he was sixty-nine, he was appointed upon a committee for the equal distribution of the of the town lands, a duty which no feeble man would have been selected to perform.” He died in Exeter in 1683 and was buried, according to tradition, in the small cemetery on Green Street.

Historical Sketches of Andover, Massachusetts by Sarah Loring Bailey, published by Houghton Mifflin in 1880
Colonel Dudley Bradstreet was serving as the Justice of Peace in Andover during the witch hysteria. Though he didn't believe the witchcraft delusion, his duties required him to issue almost 50 arrest warrants before he finally refused to issue any more. Afterwards, both Dudley and his wife, Ann were also accused. They temporarily fled the area, evading arrest.
Dudley's father, Simon would serve as the Colonial Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1670 to 1686. After Simon's wife Anne died, he moved back to Salem and Dudley moved into his father's residence in Andover, as well as taking over his father's leadership role in the town. Dudley was an attorney, a colonel in the militia, schoolteacher, and served as a selectman and town clerk in Andover. He would also serve as a Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts and later, was a member of the Governor's Council. Though he opposed the entire witchcraft delusion, he found himself in the unenviable position of Justice of the Peace in Andover during the hysteria. In the eight weeks from July 15, 1692 until the "touch test" on September 7th, Bradstreet granted out arrest warrants against, and committed, some 30 Andover persons to prisons for supposed witchcrafts. On September 7th, after the ludicrous "touch test," he dutifully wrote out an additional 18 warrants. However, after he had issued those warrants, he refused to grant any more. Not long afterwards, both he and his wife Ann Wood (widow of Theodore Price), were themselves, accused of witchcraft, with the "afflicted" claiming that they had killed at least nine people. In response, Colonel Bradstreet and his wife fled the area. However, he later returned to Andover and his name appears first on the petition written in late December. The petition, presented to the Superior Court of Judicature at Salem at its opening session on January 3, 1693. It was signed not only by Colonel Bradstreet, but also the Reverend Francis Dane, Reverend Thomas Barnard, 38 other men, and 12 women. The petition was on behalf of Mary Clement Osgood, Eunice Potter Frye, Deliverance Haseltine Dane, Sarah Lord Wilson and Abigail Wheeler Barker, who were all church members who had been arrested together at the Andover touch test. He died in Andover, Massachusetts in 1706.
Dudley married WOOD, Anne on 12 Nov 1673 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. Anne was born in 1647 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; died in 1707 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

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."Ebenezer married HOYT, Lydia on 20 Apr 1779 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.
