| 1103 | I837 | MARMION | John | Abt 1292 | 30 Apr 1335 | 0 | John Marmion was a notable figure in the early 14th century, closely associated with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. He was involved in the controversial execution of Piers Gaveston, a close associate of King Edward II, in 1312, for which he was later pardoned in October of the same year. John Marmion's political and military involvement continued over the years. He was summoned for military service against the Scots in 1314, and again in 1322 and 1323. In 1322, he received protection for his participation in a campaign in Scotland with the Earl of Richmond and was appointed as a commissioner of array for North Riding. By December 1326, he was summoned to Parliament, and in September 1327, he served on a commission of oyer and terminer in Yorkshire. In 1327, John and his wife Maud de Furnival, daughter of Lord Hugh de Furnival, made a significant property settlement involving the manors of Tanfield and Carthorpe. In May 1329, John received a three-year protection to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He faced personal challenges in October 1331 when his park at Tanfield was invaded and his deer stolen while he was under the King's protection. In July 1332, he was tasked with selecting archers for the King's expedition to Ireland. John Marmion married Maud de Furnival, and he is believed to have died on April 30, 1335. After his death, Maud made several property settlements and was involved in religious and charitable activities, including the establishment of chantries. She was commemorated in the parish church of Tanfield for her contributions. John of Gaunt later granted a license for land grants in West Tanfield and Carthorpe to honor the souls of John Marmion and Maud. John Marmion's life was marked by his military service, his involvement in significant political events of the time, and his contributions to his estate and family. |

He concluded his letter by adding that he hoped the execution would not affect their business dealings. | tree1 |
| 1107 | I15250 | MARSOLET DE SAINT-AIGNAN | Nicolas | 7 Feb 1601 | 1677 | 0 | HIGHLIGHTS: Was one of the very first interpreters between the French and the indigenous people, particularly the Montagnais and Algonquin.His experience and knowledge of Indigenous languages and cultures made him an important figure in the development of New France. After he married, he became a clerk for the Company of One Hundred Associates and later operated his own trading business. His influence in the fur trade earned him the nickname "the little king of Tadoussac CONNECTIONS: Michelle's 10th GGF on the Laviolette side. LIFE STORY: Nicolas Marsolet, born in Rouen in 1601, was among the first and most influential interpreters in New France. His arrival in the colony, likely in 1613 with Samuel de Champlain, marked the beginning of a long and complex career that spanned the formative years of French settlement in North America. As one of the earliest interpreters, Marsolet played a crucial role in bridging the cultural and linguistic gap between the French and Indigenous peoples, particularly the Montagnais and Algonquin. His activities took him to various key locations in New France, including Tadoussac, Quebec, Trois-Rivières, and Algonquin villages along the Ottawa River. Marsolet's reputation was not without controversy. Champlain accused him of living among the Indigenous people "in the greatest licence" and pursuing profits at any cost. These accusations culminated during the Kirke brothers' occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632, when Marsolet chose to remain and work with the English. Displeased by this 'treachery', Champlain met Marsolet at Tadoussac and, according to Champlain's diary, Marsolet and another interpreter and also deserter, Étienne Brûlé, both said, "We know quite well that if they had us in France they would hang us; we are very sorry for that, but the thing is done; we have mixed the cup and we must drink it, and make up our minds ever to return to France; we shall manage to live notwithstanding" While Champlain viewed this as betrayal, some historians, like Dionne, suggest that Marsolet's decision may have been motivated by a desire to maintain continuity in the colony's development rather than abandon it entirely. A notable incident involving Marsolet occurred when he intervened in Champlain's plan to take two Indigenous girls, Charité and Espérance, to France. Marsolet conveyed a request from Indigenous elders to return the girls to their village, likely agreeing that a life in Paris would not be in their best interests. This action, while angering Champlain, demonstrated Marsolet's deep understanding of and respect for Indigenous cultures. After the French regained control of Quebec, Marsolet initially maintained his distance from the colonial authorities and missionaries. He was known for his reluctance to share his linguistic knowledge, with the Jesuit Paul Le Jeune noting in 1633 that Marsolet had sworn never to teach the "Savage tongue" to anyone. This stance reflected the complex dynamics between fur traders, settlers, and missionaries in the colony. However, following Champlain's death in 1635, Marsolet's approach changed. He began to settle into colonial life, marrying Marie Le Barbier in 1637 and receiving the seigneury of Bellechasse. Over time, he acquired numerous land grants, though his primary focus remained on the fur trade and commerce. Marsolet's career continued to evolve. He became a clerk for the Company of One Hundred Associates and later operated his own trading business. His influence in the fur trade earned him the nickname "the little king of Tadoussac." Despite his commercial success, Marsolet showed little interest in developing most of his land grants, with the exception of his property on the Sainte-Geneviève hill. Throughout his life, Marsolet maintained his role as an interpreter, a skill that remained valuable to both civil and religious authorities. His experience and knowledge of Indigenous languages and cultures made him an important figure in the development of New France. Nicolas Marsolet died in Quebec City on May 15, 1677, leaving behind a complex legacy. As one of the last living links to the earliest days of French settlement in Canada, his life story embodies the challenges, contradictions, and adaptations required of those who bridged two worlds in the creation of New France. Despite the controversies surrounding some of his actions, Marsolet's contributions as an interpreter and his role in the early fur trade were instrumental in shaping the foundations of French-Indigenous relations in North America. |

| 1108 | I7200 | MARTEL | Charles | 686 | 22 Oct 741 | 0 | 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. | tree1 |

Today, the Plains of Abraham is a park. Their son Eustache, born in 1621, was the first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec, though he lived only briefly. Champlain's will included a substantial bequest to the Martin family, indicating a close relationship. Their son Charles Amador Martin became one of the first Canadian priests.

His early life is largely unknown, including the origins of his nickname "l'Écossais" (the Scot), which could suggest Scottish ancestry or connections. Around 1615, Abraham married Marguerite Langlois. Their first son, Jean, was baptized in Dieppe in 1616 but did not survive infancy. In 1620, Abraham and Marguerite, along with Marguerite's sister Françoise and her husband Pierre Desportes, sailed to Quebec, which had been established as a permanent settlement by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Abraham was a fisherman and mariner by trade. He and Marguerite were among the first European inhabitants of Quebec City. Their son Eustache, born in 1621, was the first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec, though he lived only briefly. Their daughter Marguerite (1624) and son Pierre (1630) were among the first children baptized at the newly established Notre-Dame parish. In 1629, when the Kirke brothers captured Quebec for England, the Martin family returned to France. They came back to Quebec in 1633 after the territory was restored to France. Champlain's will included a substantial bequest to the Martin family, indicating a close relationship. In 1635, the Company of New France granted Abraham 12 arpents (acres) of land on Cap Diamant's northern slope. This land, which Abraham cleared by hand, became known as the Plains of Abraham. In 1645, he received an additional 20 arpents from Adrien Duchesne. Abraham likely worked as a river pilot on the St. Lawrence River, referring to himself as a "royal pilot" in 1647, though no official record of this title exists. Abraham Martin died around September 8, 1664, in Quebec City. Marguerite remarried in February 1665 but passed away later that year. Abraham and Marguerite had eleven children in total, most of whom survived to adulthood. Their son Charles Amador Martin became one of the first Canadian priests. By 1800, their descendants numbered 7,765 married individuals. The Plains of Abraham, named after Martin, later became the site of the famous 1759 battle between British and French forces, cementing his place in Canadian history. Today, the Plains of Abraham is a park. Abraham Martin is remembered as one of the founding pioneers of New France, his legacy living on through his numerous descendants and the historical significance of the land that bears his name. |

| 1110 | I20252 | MARTIN | Anne | 23 Mar 1619 | 4 Dec 1684 | 0 | Jean Côté, born around 1605 in Perche, France, was among the early settlers recruited by Robert Giffard to help establish the colony of New France. He arrived in Quebec on July 20, 1635, as part of the wave of Percheron immigration that would shape the future of French Canada. Anne Martin, born on March 23, 1614, in La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France is often attributed as the daughter of Abraham Martin, but there is no evidence that this is true. Jean and Anne's paths crossed in the summer of 1635, and they were married on November 17, 1635. The ceremony, performed by Jesuit priest Charles Lalemant, took place at the home of Robert Giffard, with Guillaume Couillard and Giffard himself serving as witnesses. This union would prove to be one of the foundational marriages of French-Canadian society. The young couple's early years were shaped by the realities of colonial life. In 1636, Governor Montmagny granted them an arpent of frontage on la Grande-Allée near Quebec, while Giffard provided them with land in Beauport. However, the threat of Iroquois raids made them hesitant to settle their Beauport concession immediately. Instead, they initially rented a small parcel of land from Noël Langlois, Anne's step-uncle, to be closer to other settlers for mutual protection. Jean built a cabin on this rented land and began farming. Over time, they developed their properties, including a house in Upper Town, Quebec. Jean was known to be a diligent farmer and businessman, selling hay and engaging in various transactions with other settlers. Throughout their lives, Jean and Anne were active members of the growing colony. They had nine children together, eight of whom survived to adulthood: Louis (1636-1669) Simone (1637-c.1700) Martin (1639-1710) Mathieu (1642-1710) Jean (1644-1722) Jean-Noël (1646-1701) Marie (1648-1648) Louise (1650-?) These children would go on to play significant roles in the development of New France, with their descendants spreading throughout the colony and beyond. Jean Côté passed away on March 28, 1661, in his home in Quebec City. He was buried in the church of Notre-Dame de Québec, an honor that reflected his status in the community. Anne survived him by more than two decades, continuing to manage their affairs and see to the establishment of their children. She died on December 4, 1684, and was also buried in Quebec City. |

| 1114 | I11751 | MARTIN | Marguerite | 4 Jan 1624 | 25 Nov 1679 | 0 | Étienne Racine, born around 1606 in Fumichon, Normandy, France, was the son of René Racine and Marie Loysel. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Étienne was educated and could both read and write, likely due to his time at a Jesuit college in Normandy. This education would serve him well in the New World and foster a lifelong connection with the Jesuit order. In 1634, at about 28 years old, Étienne arrived in Quebec as an indentured servant to Guillaume Hubou, a fellow Norman from nearby Mesnil-Durand. This three-year contract brought Étienne to the shores of New France, where he would make his mark as a significant early settler. On November 16, 1637, Étienne's marriage contract was drawn up with Marguerite Martin, daughter of Abraham Martin (after whom the Plains of Abraham would be named) and Marguerite Langlois. Marguerite, born in Quebec in 1624, was merely 13 years old at the time. Due to her young age, the actual marriage ceremony was postponed until May 22, 1638, when Marguerite was 14 and Étienne about 32. Étienne's life in New France was marked by adventure and enterprise. From 1644 to 1646, he worked as a carpenter for the Jesuits at their Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons mission on Georgian Bay, showcasing both his skills and his continued connection to the Jesuit order. In 1647, Étienne's knowledge of both New France and his native Normandy proved valuable when he accompanied Robert Giffard back to France to recruit new settlers. This trip, which saw him depart from and return to La Rochelle, demonstrated Étienne's commitment to the growth of the colony. Upon his return in 1648, Étienne's efforts were rewarded by his friend Olivier LeTardif, co-seigneur of Beaupré. On March 27, 1650, LeTardif granted Étienne a substantial property of 710 meters wide by 7200 meters deep in what would become Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This grant makes Étienne the founder of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a town that would later become famous as a pilgrimage site. Throughout their lives, Étienne and Marguerite raised a family of ten children - four boys and six girls - who would go on to play significant roles in the development of New France. Their daughters' marriages to men like Noël Simard, Jean Gagnon, and Jean Paré would establish family lines that continue to be prominent in French-Canadian genealogy. Marguerite Martin passed away on November 25, 1679, at the age of 55. Étienne lived on for another decade, dying on April 24, 1689, at the impressive age of 83. Their lives spanned the crucial early decades of French settlement in Canada, and their legacy lives on through their numerous descendants and the town of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. |

| 1116 | I6282 | MARTIN DIT L'ECOSSAIS | Marie | 10 Apr 1635 | 25 Apr 1699 | 0 | Jean Cloutier, baptized on May 13, 1620, in the church of Saint-Jean de Mortagne in Perche, France, was the son of Zacharie Cloutier and Sainte Dupont. His journey to New France began early in life when he arrived in Quebec on June 4, 1634, with his father. The rest of the family, including his mother and siblings Louise, Charles, and Anne, joined them in 1635 or 1636. Marie Martin, born in 1635, was the daughter of Abraham Martin dit l'Écossais (after whom the Plains of Abraham are named) and Marguerite Langlois. She was born into one of the earliest French families in Quebec, her parents having arrived in the colony around 1620. On January 21, 1648, Jean Cloutier, at 27 years old, married Marie Martin, who was only 12 at the time. Their marriage contract, drawn up by notary Claude Lecoustre on December 27, 1647, preceded their wedding ceremony at Notre-Dame de Québec. This union, though shocking by modern standards, was not uncommon in the early days of New France, where the need to establish families and populate the colony often led to marriages between older men and very young women. Jean and Marie settled in Château-Richer on the Côte de Beaupré. Jean officially received his land concession on July 16, 1652, though his name appears on Jean Bourdon's 1641 map of the Côte de Beaupré. The 1680 map of Château-Richer shows their land, numbered 68, located just east of Sault à la Puce, with a flour mill near the river. Over their long marriage, Jean and Marie had fourteen children: An unnamed child (1650-1650) Jean (1652-1709) Marie (1655-1713) Marguerite (1656-1727) Louise (c.1657-1733) Anne (1659-1714) Sainte (c.1661-1725) Joseph (1663-1671) Pierre-Paul (1665-1665) Pierre (1667-1703) Françoise (1669-1721) Angélique-Geneviève (1672-1699) Agnès (1673-1761) Marie-Madeleine (1676-1699) Jean Cloutier was confirmed in the Catholic faith on February 2, 1660, at Château-Richer by Bishop Laval, alongside his parents. As a master carpenter, Jean played an important role in the construction and development of the growing settlement. The family appears in several censuses, providing snapshots of their life over the years: In 1666, Jean is listed as a 47-year-old carpenter with six children and a domestic servant. The 1667 census shows the family with eight children, 12 head of cattle, and 22 arpents of cultivated land. By 1681, Jean is 60 years old, with seven children still at home, 2 guns, 14 head of cattle, and 15 arpents under cultivation. Jean Cloutier died suddenly on October 16, 1690, and was buried the same day in the cemetery of La Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie parish in Château-Richer. The burial record states he was 79 years old, though this appears to be an overestimation based on his baptismal record. Marie Martin survived her husband by many years, though her exact date of death is not provided in the given information. |

| 1119 | I464 | MATILDA | Empress | 5 Aug 1102 | 10 Sep 1169 | 0 | The daughter of King Henry I of England, she moved to Germany as a child when she married the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. She travelled with her husband into Italy in 1116, was controversially crowned in St. Peter's Basilica, and acted as the imperial regent in Italy. Matilda and Henry had no children, and when Henry died in 1125, the crown was claimed by Lothair II, one of his political enemies. On Henry V's death, Matilda was recalled to Normandy by her father, who arranged for her to marry Geoffrey of Anjou to form an alliance to protect his southern borders. Henry I had no further legitimate children and nominated Matilda as his heir, making his court swear an oath of loyalty to her and her successors, but the decision was not popular in the Anglo-Norman court. Henry died in 1135 but Matilda and Geoffrey faced opposition from the Norman barons and were unable to pursue their claims. The throne was instead taken by Matilda's cousin Stephen of Blois, who enjoyed the backing of the English Church. In 1139 Matilda crossed to England to take the kingdom by force, supported by her half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, and her uncle, King David I of Scotland, while Geoffrey focused on conquering Normandy. Matilda's forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, but the Empress's attempt to be crowned at Westminster collapsed in the face of bitter opposition from the London crowds. As a result of this retreat, Matilda was never formally declared Queen of England, and was instead titled the Lady of the English. The war degenerated into a stalemate, with Matilda controlling much of the south-west of England, and Stephen the south-east and the Midlands. Large parts of the rest of the country were in the hands of local, independent barons. Matilda returned to Normandy, now in the hands of her husband, in 1148, leaving her eldest son to continue the campaign in England; he eventually succeeded to the throne as Henry II in 1154. |

| 1138 | I1237 | MENARD | Marie Barbe | 1653 | 1685 | 0 | Barbe Menard's mother and maternal grandparents were Calvinists in New R ochelle, France. They were known as Huguenots, followers of French ref ormer and theologian John Calvin (1509-1564) who further reformed and s pread the Protestant theology originally founded by Martin Luther. Bar be's mother was baptised as a Calvinist but was married in the Catholic c hurch. She presumably converted to the Catholic church sometime prior t o her marriage. The Huguenots were persecuted for their religious beli efs from the early 1500's through the late 1700's. During the time of B arbe's childhood, New Rochelle was designated as a Huguenot refuge by t he Edict of Nantes, signed by Henry IV in April, 1598. The edict ende d the Wars of Religion, and allowed the Huguenots some religious freedo ms. The Edict of Nantes was revoked in October 1685 by Louis XIV which r esulted in new persecution of the Huguenots and the emigration of hundr eds of thousands of Huguenots to other countries. | tree1 |
| 1139 | I1237 | MENARD | Marie Barbe | 1653 | 1685 | 0 | The Filles du Roi, or King's Daughters as they were later known, were s ome 770 women who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) between 1 663 and 1673, under the financial sponsorship of King Louis XIV of Fran ce. Most were single French women and many were orphans. Their transpor tation to Canada and settlement in the colony were paid for by the King . Some were given a royal gift of a dowry of 50 livres for their marria ge to one of the many unmarried male colonists. These gifts are reflect ed in some of the marriage contracts entered into by the Filles du Roi a t the time of their first marriages. Some 737 of these women married a nd the resultant population explosion gave rise to the success of the c olony. Most of the millions of people of French Canadian descent today, b oth in Quebec and the rest of Canada and the USA, are descendants of on e or more of these courageous women of the 17th century. | tree1 |

| 1142 | I13115 | MERCIER | Jeanne | Abt 1627 | 14 Dec 1687 | 0 | 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. |

The parties close to the falls were in position, but those whose targets were further down river had yet to reach them. This provided an opportunity for some settlers to escape or prepare for defense. The units not yet in position hastened toward their targets, pitching into whatever they came across. The carefully constructed plan quickly degenerated into wholesale slaughter. The attack on the south bank of the Oyster River was pressed with brutal ferocity. The family of Stephen and Ann Jenkins tried to escape the carnage by fleeing into their cornfield. In a June 1695 deposition, Mrs. Jenkins described what happened: "in the morning about the dawning of the day my husband being up went out of the dore, and presently returning cried to me and our children to run for our lives, for the Indians had beset the town: whereupon my husband and myself fled with our children into our cornfield, & at our entrance into the field, Bomazeen, whome I have seen since . . . , came towards us and about ten Indians more: & the sd Bomazeen then shot at my husband and shote him down, ran to him & struck him three blows on the head with a hatchet, scalped him & run him three times with a bayonet. I also saw the said Bomazeen knock one of my children on the head & tooke of [f]her scalp & then put the child into her father's armes; and then stabbed the breast. And Bomazeen also then killed my husband's grandmother and scalped her." [119]Bomazeen took Ann and her remaining children captive. Binding them securely, he moved on to the next home. The Drew garrison was the next to be struck. Francis Drew, the patriarch, made a dash for the Adams garrison to seek help, but was easily captured. He was bound and dragged back to within sight of his home, which he then surrendered on the promise of quarter. The promise of quarter was not upheld. Francis Drew was summarily tomahawked as his family was taken captive. Francis' wife was eventually abandoned by her captors and left to die in the woods. Nine year old Benjamin Drew was forced to run a gauntlet of Indians as a moving target for their tomahawks. Struck repeatedly, he could run no more. [120]Thomas Drew and his wife, Tamsen, were also taken prisoner. In 1698, Tamsen testified to her experience: "they heard a great Tumult and Noise of firing of Guns which awakened her out of her sleep, and she understanding that the Indians were in arms & had encompassed the House, willing to make her escape, she endeavored & att last got out the window and fled, but the Indians firing fast after her she returned to the House and her father-in-law [Francis Drew]took [her]by the hand and haled her into the House again, where upon she endeavored to get out at another window, but the Indians had besett that, so she returned to the other room where her friends were, and the window of that Room being open an Indian named Bombazine [Bomazeen]caught hold of her Arm and pulled her out att the Window & threw her violently upon the ground, she being then with child." [121]Tamsen's captors killed the child a short time after birth. However, after some four years of captivity, Tamsen was reunited with her husband. Beyond the Drew garrison, near the mouth of the river, stood the garrison of Charles Adams. A party of warriors had just finished moving into position when they heard the shot that killed John Dean. They gained entry to the house undetected. In an instant, the warriors set upon the sleeping family. Within minutes, Charles Adams and fourteen members of his household had been tomahawked in their beds. The only survivor was a daughter named Mercy. Her captors carried her to Canada, where she remained for the rest of her life. |

At age 18, he matriculated at Caius College, Cambridge University in 1624, receiving financial help from the college, and earning a B.A. in 1627. John married Lydia (unknown maiden name) in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England before their first child was born in March of 1631. John and Lydia emigrated to New England by 1634 with his wife and son John. He was Elder in the church at Roxbury, 1634, and made freeman in 1639. He preached in Rowley 1639-41. He was a proprietor and had a grant of land in Sandwich, 1641, and in Newbury, 1642. In 1642 he was asked to go as a missionary to Virginia, but declined "because of bodily weakness." He preached in Yarmouth, 1646 to 1662. In 1662 or 1663 he was called to Groton and preached there until his death. The earliest documents relating to any inhabitant of Groton, found among the files of the Middlesex County Probate Office, are those belonging to the estate of the Reverend John Miller, the first minister of the town. We are descended from John and Lydia on the Wright (Tucker) side. |

| 1153 | I9669 | MILLER | John | 7 Aug 1639 | 18 Apr 1720 | 0 | (I) John Miller, a native of England, born in 1624, was a member of the Grand Inquest at Middleboro in 1672. He was among the proprietors of the Twenty-six Men's Purchase (1661-62) at their meeting in 1677. Previous to April 29, 1678, he bought a house lot of Edward Gray. He was the owner of lot No. 154 in the South Purchase (1673), and was one of the owners of the Sixteen Shilling Purchase (1675). Mr. Miller lived on Thompson street not far from the brook near the house of the late Elijah Shaw, in Middleboro. He died May 11, 1720, in the ninety-seventh year of his age. His monument stands in the cemetery at "The Green," where rest the remains of six or more generations of his descendants. The Christian name of the wife of Mr. Miller was Mercy, and their children were: John, Mary and Elizabeth. Except for two or three minor court actions, little is known about Chater's life at Newbury except an unhappy phase of his matrimonial experience. Sometime in 1652 he was lying seriously ill as was also one of his servants, Daniel Gunn, a Scotchman who had been deported and sold into servitude after the battle of Worcester. Alice Chater, carrying food to Gunn, told him that, if her husband should die, he should be her husband, of which prospect the young man took immediate advantage. Eighteen months later she confessed to her invalid husband in the hearing of William and Isabel Houldred, who were visiting them. Adultery was a capital offense and Gunn and Alice Chater were soon before the magistrates and in peril of their lives. The verdict of the jury before whom they were tried in the county court-whether it was "guilty" or "not guilty" does not appear-was not satisfactory to the judges, and the case was sent to the higher court in Boston as were the prisoners. On May 14, 1654, perhaps hesitating to inflict the death penalty, the governor and council stated that they were not guilty according to law but that, because of her shameful and unchaste behavior, Alice Chater should be severely admonished and stand tied to the whipping post for one hour and then be discharged that she might return to her husband, while Gunn, after Mr. Lunerius, the physician, had restored him to health, was to be whipped.5 The unhappy young Scot did not long survive his ordeal. In the meantime Newbury gossip was busy with the name of Isabel Houldred who was nursing Chater during his wife's absence, but the magistrates decided that it was unfounded when the usual presentment was made. |

| 1154 | I8826 | MITTON | Anne | Abt 1638 | 1677 | 0 | In the tumultuous era of King Philip's War, a period marked by violent conflicts between Native American tribes and English settlers, the story of Ann Mitton Brackett and her family stands out as a remarkable tale of resilience and survival. Ann Mitton, a granddaughter of George Cleeves, one of the earliest settlers and founders of Portland, Maine, then known as Casco, was married to Anthony Brackett. They lived on a farm along Back Cove, near the area that is now home to Deering Oaks and the University of Southern Maine campus. This picturesque region, with its abundant natural resources, was also a flashpoint for the escalating tensions between the English settlers and the Native American tribes. The Bracketts, like many settlers, were caught in the crossfire of these growing hostilities. Their lives were upended in August 1676 when Simon, known as "the Yankee Killer," a Native American who had escaped from captivity in Massachusetts, led a war party in a surprise attack against Casco. The Brackett family, including Ann and Anthony, their children, and a slave, were captured during this raid. The capture of the Brackett family was a harrowing experience, but it was Ann's ingenuity and skills that turned the tide. Known for her adeptness in needlework, Ann played a crucial role in their escape. She skillfully repaired a damaged canoe, which the family then used to navigate across Casco Bay. This daring escape was a testament to Ann's resourcefulness and determination to save her family from captivity. After a perilous journey across the bay, the Brackett family reached Black Point. There, they found a vessel bound for Piscataqua, which offered them safe passage and a route to freedom. This escape was not just a physical journey but also a symbol of the resilience and courage that many settlers had to summon in the face of adversity. The story of Ann Mitton Brackett and her family is set against the backdrop of King Philip's War, a conflict that had far-reaching consequences for both the Native American tribes and the English settlers. The war, characterized by its brutality and the profound sense of fear it instilled in the communities, marked a significant chapter in the history of New England. Ann Mitton Brackett's story is a poignant reminder of the individual struggles and acts of bravery that occurred during this turbulent period in American history. Her actions not only ensured the survival of her family but also left a legacy of courage and resilience that continues to be remembered and honored. |

| 1155 | I8806 | MITTON | Mary | 1646 | 11 Aug 1676 | 0 | The story of Thomas Brackett and his wife Mary Mitton, as detailed in "The Bracketts of Peaks Island: An Introduction" by Reta Morrill, unfolds as a tale of early American settlers and their struggles. Thomas Brackett, a descendant of George Cleeve, one of Portland's first settlers, arrived in Boston from Scotland around 1629. He and his brother Anthony moved to Falmouth (now Portland) around 1662. Thomas married Mary Mitton, whose parents were Michael Mitton and Elizabeth Cleeve, George Cleeve's daughter. Thomas Brackett's life was marked by tragedy during the turbulent times of Native American and settler conflicts. In 1676, he was killed by Native Americans, and his wife and children were taken captive. Mary Mitton Brackett died shortly after her capture, but their children survived and were eventually returned. One of their children, Joshua Brackett, who was only two years old at the time of his capture, grew up to father Joshua Jr. and Anthony, from whom the Bracketts and Trotts of Peaks Island descended. The Brackett family's story is intertwined with the early settlement of New England and reflects the hardships and dangers of the time. Their legacy, particularly in Peaks Island and the broader region of Maine and New Hampshire, is a testament to their resilience and the challenging circumstances of early American life. |

| 1156 | I8828 | MITTON | Nathaniel | Abt 1648 | 11 Aug 1679 | 0 | 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. |

| 1170 | I14717 | MORIN | Noel | 21 Feb 1618 | 10 Feb 1680 | 0 | HIGHLIGHTS: Noel was a wheelwright who was recruited to come to New France when he was just 20 years old. Noel's wife Helene was recognized as the first European child born in New France. Helene was previously married but widowed at 19 with three young children. She went on to have 14 more children with Noel, although two died in infancy. His descendants, numbering in the thousands, include many notable figures in Canadian and American history, such as Pierre and Justin Trudeau, Jack Kerouac, Madonna, Jim Carrey, and Céline Dion. CONNECTIONS: Jim's 10th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch LIFE STORY: Noël Morin, born around 1616 in Brie-Comte-Robert, Île-de-France, France, was a significant figure in the early days of New France. The son of Claude Morin and Jeanne Moreau, Noël grew up attending the church of Saint-Étienne. His surname, possibly derived from "Morini," an Italian family long established in the region, might mean "brown of skin like a Moor." Trained as a wheelwright (charron), Noël was recruited by Robert Giffard to come to New France. He arrived in Quebec City in 1636, at the age of about 20. His skills as a craftsman were valuable in the developing colony, where transportation and construction were constant challenges. On December 27, 1639, Noël signed a marriage contract with Hélène Desportes, a young widow with three children. The contract, signed in the house of Olivier Le Tardif, included a dowry of 200 livres from a property Noël inherited from his mother in Brie-Comte-Robert. Their wedding took place on January 9, 1640, at Notre-Dame de Québec, attended by many prominent colonists. Noël and Hélène had twelve children together, born between 1641 and 1656. Their family became deeply woven into the fabric of New France society. Their eldest son, Germain, became the first Canadian-born priest ordained in New France, while their daughter Marie was one of the first Montreal-born nuns. In 1645, Noël acquired 50 arpents of land in Côte-de-Sainte-Geneviève, just outside Quebec City. Over the next two decades, he developed this property, building a house, shop, and barn. His success as a settler and craftsman led to further opportunities. In 1663, Governor Jean de Lauzon granted Noël a significant piece of land, elevating him to the status of seigneur. Noël named this fief Saint-Luc and adopted the title Sieur de Saint-Luc. Throughout his life, Noël continued to practice his trade as a wheelwright. In 1673, he was commissioned to make wooden mountings for 24 cannons in Quebec City, a project for which he was paid 960 livres. His expertise in this area is evident in his comment: "I am familiar with these cannons in the Upper and Lower town." Noël was also involved in various community affairs. He served as a witness to several marriage contracts and land transactions. In 1655, he and Hélène were granted a pew by the Fabrique of Quebec in exchange for two arpents of land, which later became part of the Citadel of Quebec. After Hélène's death in 1675, Noël turned to his son Jean-Baptiste for care in his old age. Noël Morin died on January 10, 1680, at the home of his son Alphonse in Montmagny. He was buried five days later in the cemetery of Notre-Dame de Quebec. At the time of his death, he was about 64 years old, though some records mistakenly listed him as 74. Noël Morin's legacy in New France was significant. He is recognized as one of the first 47 colonists of Quebec City, considered founders of New France. His descendants, numbering in the thousands, include many notable figures in Canadian and American history, such as Pierre and Justin Trudeau, Jack Kerouac, Madonna, Jim Carrey, and Céline Dion. Through his life as a skilled craftsman, land developer, and patriarch of a large family, Noël Morin exemplified the spirit of the early French Canadian settlers. His story is one of adaptation, perseverance, and the laying of foundations for future generations in the New World. |

Brewster, in his Rambles, says he was married in 1677 to Ruth, daughter of Henry Sherburne; she was born June 3, 1660. His widow's given name, written in her will, is "Mary." Ruth is believed to be an error. There is no record of his death. The town Tax-book of the year 1713 shows that the "Old Homestead" was taxed to the "Widow Moses" and her son James. From town and provincial papers it appears that he was a public man, having held a number of offices in the town and state. He was Lieutenant in Captain Tobias Langston's company, and was one of the members of a court martial called by Governor Usher at New Castle, Sept. 29, 1696. After his death in 1713, his widow, Mary, was appointed administrator of his estate. His widow later married John Sherburne, her cousin, Oct. 20, 1720. In 1733 his son James was appointed to close up its settlement. The inventory showed 97+ acres, besides marsh. AARON MOSES NH 2 lst wife RUTH SHERBURNE 2nd wife MARY Aaron Moses was born at the Old Homestead at Sagamore Creek. He was a Lieutenant in Capt.Langdon's Company. He was also a member of a court martial called by Governor Usher at New Cas September 29,1696. From Town and Provincial papers, it appears that he was a public man, having number of offices in the town and state. According to the agreement dated January 6,1679, between Sergeant John Moses and his wife, with their son, Aaron Moses, Aaron inherited from his father the plantation farm on Sagamore Creek, Portsmouth, where he lived and died. Aaron died June, 1713 at Sagamore Creek. He married 1st.on June 1,1676 to Ruth Sherburne, daughter of Henry Sherburne of Portsmouth, descendant of English noble family, came to Portsmouth 1631, member of church of England. She was born June 3,1660. He married 2nd Mary Leach, her surname dates are unknown. She married 2nd October 20,1720, John Sherburne who was probably a cousin of Aaron's first wife. Mary Sherburne left a will dated October 9,1732, executors, her sons, James and J Moses. John Sherburne witnessed the agreement between John Moses and his son Aaron, dates January 6,1679. The Town Tax-book of the year 1713 shows that the "Old Homestead" was taxed to the “Moses" and her son James. After the death of Aaron in 1713, his widow, Mary was appointed administratrix of his estate, and in 1733, his son James was appointed to close up its settlement. A son Aaron, and a daughter, Elizabeth (Moses)Smith, are mentioned as having died without issue previous closing up of the estate, September 10, 1734. The original will of Mary widow of Aaron Moses, dated October 9,1732 was in possession of the Moses Family at Portsmouth (1889) and was a personally examined by Zebina Moses. The will shows that her name was Mary and that she married October 20, a second husband, John Sherburne, and they lived on the Rye road near the line separating Rye and Portsmouth, in a field now owned by the heirs of Michael W. Tucker. The Old cellar is still visible about one-third of the way from "Sherburne's Well" to Tucker's barn. The line runs southwest from Samso Point, on Sagamore Creek, to Bellahack Brook, and the above mentioned place is on the Rye side. The copy of the will follows. (The above information was from Zebina Moses Volume 1 & 2) (The following information is from the book titled The Ancestry of Joseph Waterhouse.) Lieut. Aaron Moses was born at Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth about 1650. His only wife of whom contemporary documentary evidence is found was Mary ___________, whom he married about 1868. That he had an earlier wife whose name does not appear on the records is not conclusive, that she was Ruth Sherburne, youngest daughter of Henry and Rebecca (Gibbons) Sherburne of Portsmouth. Aaron Moses died in July, 1713 and his widow Mary Moses, married on October 20,1720 to Captain John Sherburne “of the Plains.” The statement that Aaron Moses and Ruth Sherburne were married on June 1,1676 appears in that version of Mary (Sherburne) Sloper’s family record printed in the “New England Historical and Genealogical Register“ in 1863, while, in the version printed in he same publication in 1907, the marriage is again set forth bit the date is changed to January 1,1677. It does not appear in the version printed in the “Portsmouth Journal” of June 8,1867, and later reprinted in Rambles about Portsmouth, Second Series in 1869, which of the three, is the only one likely to have been an honest copy of Mary Sloper’s original manuscript. Thus far, therefore, we have no reputable evidence that such a marriage took place, but theirs is not to argue that it did not. The person who made the additions to the manuscript in 1863, reasonable supposed to have been Dr. George Gains Brewster (1797-1872) who was a descendant of Mary Sloper and also of Aaron Moses by three different lines of descent, may have had other manuscript evidence or traditional accounts on which he based the added entry, even if he used a synthetic date. Time and propinquity as well as family association are all favorable, and there is no contradictory negative evidence. As we have seen, the care of Rebecca Sherburne, the unfortunate sister of Mary and Ruth Sherburne, was entrusted to Mary Huff, the sister of Aaron Moses, which would have been a reasonable family arrangement. Aaron took over the management of the family farm at Sagamore Creek in his father’s old age, and on it he lived his entire life. He made only one recorded purchase of land, a small tract on the south side of the mill-dam adjoining Thomas Beck’s land, from Richard Jose on February 11,1692/3, (NH Deeds 6:111). He sold to Elizabeth Savage, widow, a lot of 35 feet by 78 feet on which stood a house, near the meeting-house, on November 3,1701. His nephew George Walker bought from him a cart path from the King’s highway to Walker’s new field, and all of the Moses land on the western side of the highway in 1702 and in 1712 Walker also purchased for L40 the 45 acre grant made to Moses from the town commons in 1699, lying on the north side of the road from Capt. Langdon’s to Breakfast Hill (NH Deeds 6:826; 8:277). His only other conveyance was a small lot of 1½ acres lying on the hill about 50 or 60 rods from his dwelling house, to his well-beloved son James Moses on January 11,1711/2 (NH Deeds, 9:220). At his death the Moses farm contained about 98 acres. Moses took an active part in local military life. His house was a garrison in 1690 when the New Hampshire settlements were in grave danger from the French and Indians, and on May 23,1691/2 five pounds of powder were delivered to him for its defense. By 1684 he was the lieutenant of Capt. Tobias Langdon’s company of Portsmouth militia, and an original order of Lieut. Col. Thomas Parker (Packer), dated November 9,1695, survives by which thirty men from the two Portsmouth companies were detailed and equipped to range the woods in a circuit from Portsmouth to Dover to Exeter and home to Portsmouth, “to performe thaire march under ye command of Lft Aaron Moses,(NH Council Book, II:78). On the civil side, Aaron Moses was Portsmouth’s constable inn 1690 and by 1694 he was marshal of the colony his duties being comparable to those of a present day county sheriff. A warrant was addressed to him as “Provost Martiall” in 1684 and in that same year he called himself “Field Marshall,” a title that sounds more impressive to our ears by association with great military figures than it did to his. He sat on a trail jury in 1696. The petition to Massachusetts Bay to aid in the defense of New Hampshire, dated February 20,1689/90, had borne his signature. In the seating-list of the Portsmouth meeting-house of 1693/4, Aaron was placed in the third seat in the ,men’s gallery fronting the pulpit, while his wife was in he third seat in the women’s gallery. Administration on the estate of Aaron Moses was granted to his widow, Mary Moses, on November 21,1713, John Abbot and John Leach going on her bond, and an inventory amounting to L237:17:04, taken by Tobias Langdon and Hugh Banfield, was entered on February 5.1713/4 on the estate of “Aaron Moses who desesed July last past.” Over four years later, on June 4,1718, the court ordered William Sevy, James Randall and Ephraim Denet to make a new appraisal of the land only which they did on July 12, giving it a value of L261. Fifteen years more were to pass however before steps were taken to divide and settle the property, (NH Probate, No. 479). As before stated in 1720 at the North Church Mary Moses, Aaron’s widow, married John Sherburne. This was Capt. John Sherburne of the Plaines, who was born about 1650. Capt. Sherburne died between December 17,1723 and February 16,1730/1, the dates of the making and proving of his will, by which his estate was left to his many children and in which his wife was not mentioned, presumably because of the terms of a marriage agreement. Mary Sherburne of Portsmouth, widow made her will on October 9, 1732. It was not placed in probate but was preserved with only family papers. To her sons, James Moses, Joseph Moses and Josiah Moses she left a sheep a piece. To her granddaughter Mary Moses, daughter of her son Joseph, her featherbed, the bedding belonging to it and her biggest iron pot. To her three granddaughters, Mary, daughter of her son Joseph, Abigail, daughter of her son Josiah and Mary, daughter of her son James, all her silver, either wrought into plate or in money, to be equally divided. To her four daughters, Martha Moses, Hannah Moses, Abigail Moses (her daughter-in-law), and Sarah Scott, all her wearing apparel, to be equally divided. To her son Mark Moses, all her household goods of what kind soever not hitherto disposed of, her oldest cow, one steer, and three hogs, he paying small debts owed to Joshua Peirce, Mr. Priest and Thomas Sibson. Executors: James Moses, Joseph Moses, Witnesses: Theodore Atkinson, Samuel Sherburn, Margaret Fickett. Shortly before his mother’s death, James Moses took steps to settle his father’s estate to buy the interests of his brothers and sister in the farm at Sagamore Creek, securing quit-claim deeds from Josiah (December 20,1728) Mark (February 19,1730/1), Joseph (January 31,1731/2) and his sister Sarah Scott “one of the daughter of Aaron Moses” (March 9,1732/3) (NH Deeds 17:462, 19:372.387) He was appointed administrator de bonis non on October 19,1733, George Walker his cousin, and John Jackson, his brother-in-law, being his bondsmen. On October 22 a warrant was issued authorizing Thomas Beck of Portsmouth and John Sherburne of New Castle to appraise the estate, the widow Mary Moses (sic) having died. They wasted not time but signed the inventory of L191:15:0 on the following day, and on the day after that, the 24th, John Lang, Thomas Beck Jr., and Samuel Beck were ordered to repot on the division of the estate into eight equal parts. These steps must have been the subject of a previous agreement for on October 25 the three men reported that the estate could not be divided without damage to the whole----”if the Land be well improved the whole of it will not be more than sufficient to Maintain one small family great part of ye Land being Rocky & Barren & but Little firewood upon the whole.” This being the case the court again appointed appraisers on the next day, they being Seth Ring of Newington, Samuel Brackett of Rye and Joseph Langdon of Portsmouth, who were to decided for what sum the eldest son might purchase the entire farm. They were more deliberate than their predecessors and more optimistic in their estimates for on April 3,1734, they produced much greater figure of L294:8:9 which was nearer the valuation put on the land in 1718. The court accepted the appraisal and on September 10,1734 allowed James’s account. He showed that he had paid to “his brother Aaron who is since Dead without Issue” L15:12:0. All expenses being subtracted from L294:8:9 left L239:10:0 which “Remains to be Divided into Seven Shares.” On the same day the court ordered “to be Divided into Seven Shares among the Surviving Children the sum of L239:9....each share is L34:4:41/2.” Who were the surviving children? We know that Aaron out lived his father, but it was probably not for long as the only mention of him in the records is in James’s account where he is definitely stated to have died without issue. Elizabeth Smith died in Ipswich in 1725 also leaving no children. Mary Sherburne’s will names her five Moses Children---James, Josiah, Joseph, and Mark Moses, and Sarah Scott, all of whom were living in 1734. In a division into seven shares this leaves two share to be accounted for. The first theory since discarded, was that James, the oldest surviving son in 1734, had an extra share, leaving one share for a surviving daughter by their father’s first wife, who doubtless had her own mother’s personal belongings and was not mentioned in her stepmothers will. This provides a place for Ruth, wife of Timothy Waterhouse, as a surviving daughter. It does not explain, however, why the court contemplated division into eight shares on October 24,1733, but ordered division into seven shares in September, 1734. The final theory is that in 1733 the court believed that James, who was the oldest son then alive, was entitled to two shares, leaving six shares to be allotted to six other children, but that on further consideration the judge decided that only Aaron, the oldest surviving son in 1713 when the father died, would have been entitled to a double share, and, he being dead without issue, the seven surviving children as of the year 1734 should take a single share each. To make up the tally of seven we have (1) James, (2) Joseph, (3) Josiah, (4) Mark, (5) Sarah Scott, all named in their mother’s will, (6) and (7) two daughters by Aaron Moses’s first wife, one of whom I believe, or cumulative circumstantial evidence and no negative evidence to have been Ruth Waterhouse, and the other an unknown sister, on the “missing wives” subject to constant genealogical search. |

| 1174 | I9867 | MOSES | Aaron | 5 Jun 1650 | 6 Jun 1713 | 0 | Lieutenant Aaron Moses was born in a home located near Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. His exact birth date remains unclear, but it is believed to be around 1650. Aaron was the son of Sergeant John Moses, a respected member of the community, and his wife Alice, who is not well-documented in historical records. Military and Civic Involvement: Aaron Moses' life was marked by his active involvement in both military and civic affairs. He served as a Lieutenant in the local militia, a role of considerable importance during a time when local militias were crucial for the defense and order of colonial settlements. His military service included being a member of Captain Tobias Langdon's company, reflecting the community's reliance on local leadership for protection against various threats, including conflicts with Native American tribes. In 1696, Aaron was part of a court-martial convened by Governor Usher, indicating his involvement in higher-level military and judicial matters. His role in the militia and participation in the court-martial during this period align with the broader historical context of King William's War (1688-1697), part of the larger conflict between England and France for control of North America. Public Service and Land Management: Beyond his military duties, Aaron Moses was deeply involved in public service. He served as the constable of Portsmouth in 1690, a role that involved maintaining public order and executing the decisions of the town's court and administration. By 1694, he had risen to the position of marshal of the colony, akin to a modern-day sheriff, highlighting his standing and trust within the community. Aaron's management of the family farm at Sagamore Creek, inherited from his father, was a significant aspect of his life. He engaged in land transactions, including purchasing a tract near a mill-dam and selling various parcels, demonstrating his active participation in the local economy and land management. Family Life: Aaron Moses' marital life is subject to historical debate. While some records suggest he was married to Ruth Sherburne, the youngest daughter of Henry Sherburne, other documents, name his wife as Mary. This Mary is believed to be Mary Leach, whom he married around 1668. The confusion over his wife's identity reflects the challenges of early colonial record-keeping. After Aaron's death in July 1713, Mary Moses married John Sherburne, likely a cousin of Aaron's first wife, on October 20, 1720. This marriage further intertwined the Moses and Sherburne families, prominent in the Portsmouth area. Legacy and Estate: The administration of Aaron Moses' estate was granted to his widow, Mary, in 1713, and his son James was later appointed to finalize the estate's settlement. The estate included a substantial amount of land, indicative of Aaron's success and status in the community. Lieutenant Aaron Moses' life story is a blend of military service, civic duty, and family legacy, set against the backdrop of a turbulent and formative period in American history. His contributions to the Portsmouth area and his role in the local militia during a time of colonial expansion and conflict highlight the complexities and challenges faced by early American settlers. |

(Massachusetts included all of Maine and New Hampshire at the time) cordwainer, and wife Frances" convey the other lot and the house in which Josiah then lived. George Moses removed from Portsmouth and settled on a farm owned by Joseph Prout on Scottow's Hill. Scarborough, Maine (then Massachusetts), in 1754. Scottow's Hill was a landmark and was used in the early surveys, it is but a short distance from the sea, and from the site of the original Moses home, vessels may be seen passing to and from the harbor. | tree1 |

| 1188 | I12318 | NADEAU DIT LAVIGNE | Joseph Ozanie | 1637 | 10 Feb 1677 | 0 | Marguerite was born on January 3, 1645 in the Parish of St-Eustache, Paris, Île-de-France, France to Godefroy (aka Guillaume Abraham) and Denise Fleury. Her father was about 30 when she was born, and according to online trees, he died shortly after, in the same year. Marguerite's mother, Denise, was 22 when Marguerite was born. The area in which she lived was the home of France's largest food market. Living in a single-parent household after the death of her father meant that Marguerite probably grew up in poverty conditions, altjhough there is no way to know for sure. Online trees also indicate that her mother Denise died in 1665 at the age of 42. If this is true, it provides context to the reasons Marguerite would have been willing to uproot her entire life for a harsh and distant land, that very same year. She would have had opportunities there that far exceeded what she would have had if she stayed living in France. Marguerite immigrated in 1665, on the ship "Le Saint-Jean-Baptiste, de Dieppe" departing on June 18, 1665 and arriving in New France on October 2, 1665. The ship was approximately 76' x 27.33' and 10.5' in depth and the crossing was made along with 130 soldiers and 81 other Filles du Roi. She brought a dowry of 100 livres with her. An unskilled worker in 1655 France woudl have made about 1 livre per 10-hour day worked, so 100 livres was rather significant and like the other Filles du Roi, this would have been provided by the king. Just one month after she arrived, on November 6, 1665, Marguerite married Joseph Ozanie (aka Ossany) Nadeau dit Lavigne on the Ile d'Orleans. Joseph was born in 1637 in Genouillac, Creuse, Limousin; a small, lightly populated commune in central France with a church dating back to the 13th century in which Joseph was baptized. Much of what we know of Joseph's life is thanks to the research of Ken Roy, published in 1998 as part of the Nadeau family reunion. http://www.royandboucher.com/genealogy/histories/joseph_ossany_nadeau.php Joseph was the son of Macia Nadeau and Jeanne Despins. He was a young man in his early 20s when he immigrated to New France, possibly in 1659 on the Le Sacrifice d'Abraham which sailed out of La Rochelle. It is believed that Joseph worked first as a wagon builder and wheelwright when he first arrived in Quebec, but became a farmer a few years later. After a brief stay in Quebec City, he settled in Chateau-Richer in the shore of the St Lawrence. On February 3, 1663, Lord Charny gave 3 acres of land to Joseph on the Ile d'Orleans in the Ste Famille area, the first parish that had been established on the island. When there were still only about 100 people on the entire island, Joseph cleared his land and built a 20'x15' cabin on what is now lots 224 and 226, just northwest of the Ste Famille church. After marrying in 1665, for the first two years, Marguerite and Joseph lived in Sainte-Famille, but then moved in 1667 to what became Sainte-Laurent after Joseph was granted 7 acres of riverfront that was also 40 acres deep by the Bishop of Quebec. He sold the land in Sainte-Famille on October 18, 1675 to Antoine Dionne (one of Jim's GGFs). Marguerite and Joseph had 5 children together, 4 who survived past infanthood and 3 who survived to adulthood. Our ancestor is Denis, their fourth child, baptized on June 18, 1673 in Sainte-Famille. Joseph died on February 10, 1677, when he was just 40 years old, and was buried two days later in Sainte-Famille. This left Marguerite a widow with several young child under the age of 10. The following year, on January 31, 1678, she married Guillame Chartier. They had no children together. Marguerite died at Beaumont sometime shortly after November 9, 1695 at about 50 years old. |
