Notes:

IN 1727, Lieutenant Governor Wentowrth granted the charter for the Town of Barnstead to Rev. Joseph Adams and others. At the time it was a complete wilderness with hostile Indians living there, and so no attempt to settle the land was made until 1765.

The Reverand's son Ebenezer was the first person, who with his family, settled in Barnstead (date unknown) on a lot located near the north line of Barrington (now Strafford). The homes of the first settlers were just crude log homes. The cost of the first road built was passed to the charter owners through taxes, and due to the unusually high burden of this, many gave up their rights to the land at that time and had it sold at auction.

In the original charter the settlers were bound to build a meeting house for worship within three years of the Indian hostilities ending, so Rev Adams, who was living in Newington came to the town and selected land for the church. The site was described as "in a valley, near a stream of water, about a mile north of the Strafford line." Rev. Adams gave the first service at the church, and the workmen who had built the log structure attended.

Previously, in 1758 while in Newington, he was one of 8 clergyman selected bu the Congregational Convention to apply to Givernor Wentworth for a charter for a college. This was granted in 1769.

President John Adams, the Reverend's nephew described him "That in conversation he was vain, locquacious, though somewhat learned and entertaining; his sermons were delivered in a beautiful and musical voice, quoting scripture, and preaching without notes.

When Rev. Adams died in 1783, he was the oldest living minister in New England. It was reported in a letter written to President John Adams regarding his uncle's death that the last sermon he had preached was on the topic of peace and he had spoken about how proud he was that his own blood relative had played such a big part in achieving that.

Notes:

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."

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."

Nabby Adams Smith was the eldest child and only surviving daughter of John and Abigail Adams and the sister of John Quincy Adams. She married William Stephens Smith in London on June 12, 1786 while her parents were in residence there but the marriage was not a happy one. Abandoned on numerous occasions while her husband went "seeking his fortune", Nabby showed herself to be a true child of her parents, strong-willed, uncomplaining and able to keep herself and her children together under one roof, earning the unstinting respect of John and Abigail and of John Quincy, who loved her dearly ... one of the few people he did love dearly.

In October of 1811, Nabby discovered a lump in her breast and a mastectomy was performed without any anesthesia. Her parents were holding her hands during the brutal surgery and, according to John, she never cried out once. After recuperating at the Adams homestead in Quincy, she returned to her dreary life in New York. But the cancer proved too much for even Nabby's resilient spirit and, in the summer of 1813, in agony, she returned to her parents in Quincy and died in The Old Homestead. The elderly John Adams grieved in a letter to his old friend Thomas Jefferson: "Your friend, my only Daughter, expired, yesterday morning .... in the 49th Year of her age, 46 of which she was the healthiest and firmest of us all. Since which, She has been a monument to Suffering and to Patience." It has been said that neither John nor Abigail ever truly recovered from her death.

at Newmarket 30 Sept. 1850.

John Adams was born in Newington, New Hampshire on February 14, 1791 to John Adams and Abigail Coleman Adams. As a teenager Adams converted to Methodism and as a young man he became an itinerant preacher. He was appointed elder of the Bristol Conference in Rhode Island in 1810. In 1820 he married Sarah Sanderson of Watertown, Maine. He was known for his emotional appeals and fiery preaching and remained a popular minister through the 1830s. His preaching career spanned the period of the “Second Great Awakening” and primarily took him throughout the New England area. In the 1840s his preaching style and mental instability caused him increasing difficulties. Since his religious message was often unwelcome, Adams turned to preaching about temperance issues and using his singing voice. Adams died in 1851 after a period of illness.

Notes:

According to a History of Henry Adams, Joseph C. was born in Barnstead, Feb 25 1815 and was married Oct 29 1839 to Sarah B. Nutter the daughter of James and Hannah (Langley) Nutter. He was a blacksmith in Newburyport for many years.

Joseph's father died in 1820 when he was only 5 years old. In October of 1821 the Strafford Court granted guardianship of Joseph (listed as Josephus in the court papers) and his siblings to his mother. Shortly after, also in1821, there was a notice in the paper that his father's 50 acre farm in Barnstead, NH was being auctioned to pay debts. I have also found the probate records ordering this sale as the estate owed $1200.

It is unknown what his mother may have done then and where they lived, though by 1837 it is presumed they were living in the Newington/Portsmouth area as that is where his sister Sally Ann drowned (she was 17 at the time).

In 1839, Joseph is listed in the city directory at 57 Daniel where he had a blacksmith shop. His mother was also living in town, at 25 Court St., Portsmouth.

Joseph and Sarah married in 1839 and during the 1840 Census they were enumerated, living together, in Portsmouth. It appears that there may have been another Joseph Adams living next to them as neighbors. That is unusual and I don't yet know who it could be.

By the 1850 Census, Joseph and his wife were living in Newburyport, MA and had 5 children, 5 daughters ranging in age from 9 (Sarah F my ancestor) to 2. Ariadna Nutter, Sarah's 24-year old sister was also living with them.

The State of MA held a Census in 1855. Joseph and his family were living in Ward 6 of Newburyport and a son had now been born (he was 3 at this time), so they had 6 children.

In the 1860 Census, Joseph's family was still with him in Newburyport and he is listed as owning $700 in real estate.

MA had another Census in 1865. All his children are still living with him. Joseph's mother had just died the year before, in 1864.

In the 1870 Census, Joseph and Sarah were in their 50s. It notes that he owns real estate valued at $400 and personal property valued at $1000. They have 4 adult children still living with them, no occupations listed for any of them. Annetta 28, Ada (assumed to be Ariadna) 22, and (Joseph) Gilman 18

According to the Municipal Register in Newburyport, MA for 1872, Joseph C. Adams was in the Common Council representing Ward 6. Joseph owned a home and blacksmith shop in 1872 located at 2 Merrimac Court.

In the 1880 Census, Joseph is still living with his wife, his daughter Emma who is 35 and listed as a saleswoman and a granddaughter Nellie M. who is 4. Nellie May's gravestone says she died in 1886.

Joseph's wife Sarah passed away Jan 11 1892. They had been married 53 years.

On the 1900 Census Joseph is enumerated in Newington, NH, with his daughter Sarah and her husband Frederick DeRochemont (my 3rd great grandparents), his daughter Annetta now 57, and Sarah and Fred's children Frederick (23), Harry (32) and Harry's wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel, John, and Lawrence.

In 1907 Joseph was living with his daughter Emily and her husband in Newburyport when he died at the age of 91 from heart disease. Emily did not know her grandmother's (Sally's) maiden name and misreported her grandfather's name as Joseph--though this is understandable as Ebenezer had died in 1820 when Joseph was only 5, long before Emily was born, so Emily never knew her grandfather. The newspaper stated that he had been returned to Newington for burial.

Joseph and Sarah are buried in Newington. Their granddaughter Nellie is buried beside them.

Notes:

Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her.

She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister).
She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport.

On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA.

By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent.

I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd.

By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte.

Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery.

By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them.

In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport.

Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington.

The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written.

In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad.

In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher.

Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery.

General Notes:
Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.

Sarah married DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William on 20 Mar 1867 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Frederick (son of DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William and DEWIT, Maria Louisa, son of DEWIT, Maria Louisa) was born on 11 Apr 1841 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; died on 8 May 1926 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried on 8 May 1926 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1860, Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; Sally was living with her mother Mary Jane, her grandmother Sally, and a sister.

Notes:

The 1860 Census enumerates Sally Ann living with her mother, Mary Jane (Adams) Dearborn, her sister Mary Jane, and her grandmother Sally Adams, thus demonstrating the lineage from Sally Ann Dearborn to Sally Adams and Sally's late husband Ebenezer Adams Jr.

In 1862, Sally Ann married James Pickering.

In the 19 May 1903 Portsmouth Herald under the South Eliot section, it notes that, "Joseph Adams, one of the oldest residents of Newburyport, Mass., who has been the guest of his niece Mrs. S.A. Pickering, is en route for home, visiting Dover on the way." This demonstrates that Joseph Adams was Mary Jane Adam's brother and therefore the child of Ebenezer and Sally (Colbath) Adams

Sally married PICKERING, James M on 4 May 1862 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. James was born in 1836 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 17 Jan 1872 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The 1900 Newington census enumeration for Frederick included the following: he and his wife, son Harry and his wife Annie, grandchildren Mabel, John and Lawrence and father-in-law Joseph C Adams and sister-in-law Annetta A.

Frederic married PICKERING, Cora on 25 Jun 1904 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Cora was born in 1887 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; died on 25 Jul 1955; was buried in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The New Hampshire Marriage and Death Certificates indicate that Harry DeRochemont was born 18 Jan 1868 to Frederick W and Sarah F (Adams) DeRochemont. They were living in Newington at the time. Harry was the oldest child and by the 1880 Census he had 2 younger sisters and 2 brothers.

On 15 May 1895, Harry married Annie C. McKenzie from Prince Edward Island. He is shown as 27 on his marriage certificate and Annie was 18. It lists him as a farmer. They were married by clergyman Edward Robie in Greenland, NH. Annie's parents were John and Barbara McKenzie. Harry's first two children, Mabel and John were both born in PEI. But we know from newspaper reports and the births of the rest of his children that he was living back in Newington by 1899.

In 1900, Harry and Annie were enumerated in Newington, living with Harry's parents Frederick and Sarah, their three children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1), Harry's brother Frederick Jr., his grandfather Joseph Adams, and his aunt Annetta Adams.

Sadly, Annie died in 12 Mar 1906, just 4 days after giving birth to their son Bernard. Tragically, Bernard only lived a few months and also died on 17 Oct 1906. He is buried next to his mother in the Newington Cemetery. She had given birth to three more children before she died, James, Orville, and Harry Jr.

In the 1910 Census, Harry and his 6 children were still living with his parents in Newington. Elizabeth Haughey, a 24-year-old girl from Ireland was living with them as a housekeeper.

On 18 July 1916, Harry married his second wife, also a widow - Edith G. (Bradstreet) Garland. In 1917, the city directory lists them living at 612 Market St., in Portsmouth.

During the 1920 Census, they were living at 412 Hunker St. in Portsmouth. Harry's 4 boys, John, Lawrence, James, and Harry were still living with them, as was Clifton Garland and EB Garland (2 children, presumably Edith's from her first marriage) and Calton Bradstreet (age 25).

Harry's father died in 1926 and then his mother died in 1928.

During the 1930 Census, Harry and Edith were living in Newington, and his daughter Mabel (34 now) was living with them. Edith died in 1934.

During the 1940 Census, Harry was living alone in Newington; his son John W. and 8 grandchildren were living next door. On this Census, Harry indicates he had completed just 5 years of school.

On 8 Jun 1946, at the age of 78, Harry died in Concord. He is buried in the Newington Cemetery near his first wife Annie. J. Verne Wood was the funeral director. Death certificate says he died from a cerebral hemorrage. He had chronic myocarditis and myocardial degeneration. The attending physician was Dr. Everett F. Lombard.

Harry worked as a toll collector.

General Notes:
There was a notice of a marriage of Harry de Rochemont to Lena Fogg in the July 3, 1907 issue of the Portsmouth Herald although I have seen no other record to indicate that Harry had three wives. He was alone, widowed, in the Newington 1940 federal census. He was enumerated as being a mason's helper.

Harry married MACKENZIE, Annie C. on 25 May 1895 in Greenland, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Annie (daughter of MACKENZIE, John and CORBETT, Barbara) was born on 5 Jan 1877 in North Granville, Prince, Prince Edward Island, Canada; died on 12 Mar 1906 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.
