6876	Ellen Baker forwarded your query about the references for Deacon Samuel Wright and his children. Unfortunately, we have yet to find any vital statistic records for any of the Deacon's children except James, Judah and the infant Helped who died shortly after birth. The births of these last three children are recorded in the early Agawam (Springfield) MA. records which are located at the Connecticut Valley Historical Museum's Archive library in the Quadrangle area of downtown Springfield. That Samuel Wright Jr. (or Sgt. Samuel Wright as he was known) was the Deacon's son there can also be no doubt. The Deacon was forced to acknowledge this son in official documents to the Springfield courts of those days for some misdeeds. (See Pynchon Court Records in "Families of the Pioneer Valley," Regional Publications, West Springfield, MA 2000). Evidence of the relationship to the Deacon for the girls, Margaret, Hester (Ester), Lydia, and Mary is most strongly established by the wills left by the Deacon and his wife. All are named in both wills. And, although for Margaret and Lydia there are also Springfield VR for their marriages (Lydia married four times!) and other records for Margaret (See NEHGR Vol IX, p. 200), there is nothing for Hester or Mary in the official records,and we know of their marriages via mention in wills and death records. So I source the wills first. The original handwritten wills, or shall I say officially transcribed wills, for the Deacon and Margaret are in the First Records Book of the Town of Northampton, MA. This record book is very fragile and is currently archived in the Hampshire County Clerk's office in Northampton, MA. It may be viewed by special request made to the County Clerk at the time of your visit. With their kind assistance, I have made a copy of all the pertinent Wright ancestry documents in it, including the two wills. I translated and transcribed both wills in their entirety for my publication. In these wills, the Deacon makes mention of each of his children, Samuel, Margaret, Hester, Lydia, Mary, James and Judah. Margaret, his wife, does much the same in her will mentioning also Hester's husband, Samuel Marshfield, and son James' daughter, Helped, to whom she bequeathed her bed. What is notable about these two wills is that neither the Deacon nor Margaret mention anything about Benjamin Wright or Hannah (Wright) Stebbins of Springfield who have been often assigned by previous researchers as his eldest children. What I think is most important is that there is no mention made of any of the children of Benjamin or Hannah (Wright) Stebbins, either. It is true that Hannah had died in 1661, prior to the Deacon (1665), and might not have been mentioned in his will (prepared 1663) for that reason. But Hannah's children were alive and husband, Thomas Stebbins, did not remarry until 7 years after the Deacon's death. So, if the Deacon was so diligent in bequeathing to each of his other children, and since he would have known at the time of making his will in 1663 that Hannah was dead, he would have known he had to make provisions for Hannah's portion to go to her children. Therefore, I think it is certain he would have named them in his will if they were his grandchildren. On the basis that neither he nor Margaret mention these potential grandchildren in their wills, I believe Benjamin and Hannah were not his children. Nevertheless, Benjamin and Hannah have often been assigned as the eldest children of the Deacon, and thought I do not believe this is the case, I do believe they may have been niece and nephew to the Deacon or some other relation. Certainly I believe they were some member of the large Wright clan to which the Deacon belonged (originating from Sir John Wright of Kelvedon Hatch, Co. Essex, England).	WRIGHT, Hannah (I4454)

6889	Eunice Edgerton was the daughter of Elisha Edgerton and Eunice Peck. She was born 19 July 1777 in Franklin, New London,Connecticut. She had at least one brother, Elisha. Eunice married Septa Fillmore (1774-1823) 21 Dec 1797 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut. Septa built a log house in lot 185 of the Refugee Tract in Chazy, Clinton, New York in 1799. Eunice was brought up by sleigh to Middlebury, Vermont by her father where Septa met her and took her the rest of the way to Chazy. The Fillmores were among the first five families to settle in Chazy Village, which was also known as 'Five Nations'. Together she and Septa had at least ten children: Phoebe, Fanny, Nancy,Zerviah, Harriet, Elisha, Laura, Sabrina, Eunice and John De LaFayette. Fanny Fillmore who was born in 1801 was probably thefirst child born in Chazy. Their first home had a roof over only one side and a dirt floor; it stood at the rear of the Chazy Hotel of which it was a part until 1950, when it was dismantled. Septa ran the Chazy Hotel until he died.Septa was a captain in the war of 1812 but only lived until 15Nov 1823 when he died at home in Chazy when the youngest child was only three years old. Eunice ran the hotel for some years. In 1830 she is in Chazy, Clinton, New York as the head of household of 15. However, in 1840 she went out to Zanesville, Ohio to stay with her son Elisha Fillmore. However, by 1850 she was with her daughter and son-in-law, Zerviah and John North, again in Chazy, New York. Eunice died 8 Feb 1869 in Chazy, Clinton, New York. 28 Oct 1999 AT Source: GenealogyLibrary.com Book: John North of Farmington Connecticut p.161Eunice Edgerton was sixth from Richard Edgerton of England who was one of the thirty-five original proprietors of Norwich (CT) in 1659.6 Dec 1999 AT Source:http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyclinto/chazy/chazy3.html REMINISCENCES OF OLDEN TIMES IN CHAZY AS TOLD BY EUNICE EDGERTONFILLMORE TO HER CHILDREN AND GRAND-CHILDREN By Mrs. J. F. Gilbert Septa Fillmore and Eunice Edgerton were married in Norwich,Conn., in 1797. Grandfather came in 1799 and Grandmother in the winter of 1800, her father bringing her as far as Middlebury,Vt., in a sleigh and grandfather meeting her there. They were both from homes of comfort and perhaps luxury at that time. Leaving brothers and sisters and a father's home to make a home in Chazy, then called the Five Nations, and almost a wilderness., I have heard grandmother say that if her father had known to what hardship and privation she was coming, he would never have given his consent. Grandfather built a log or block house with a roof over only one side and a dirt floor. This I believe was just back of where the hotel, (Chazy House), now stands. The cooking was then done before an open fire or in a kettle hung on a crane. I have often heard old people wish they could eat some of the good things cooked in that way.With the woods and wild beasts around them, grand-mother was sometimes left alone for two or three days when grandfather was obliged to go to mill, taking his grist and that of his neighbors to Chazy Landing and from there in a canoe to Noix where there was a wind mill. She would take her two babies up the ladder nights and pull it up after her, as there was only a blanket for a door below and the wolves were so plenty they lighted pine knots to keep them awav. (The people carried torches when they went out at night). One can imagine that there could be little sleep for a mother with little children under such circumstances. After a few years grandfather built the main part of the present hotel where they lived several years, and where he died. What is now the front piazza, was then enclosed and made into several bedrooms, which some of you may remember. There was a bake house where all of the cooking was done. For months before the battle of Plattsburgh many of the officers boarded at the hotel, which made lively times and hard work. At one time they were obliged to bake several hundred loaves of bread and hand them out of the window as fast as baked to the soldiers who were (in their way to Plattsburgh and stopped there for rations.Grandfather was a captain and expected to be ordered to his regiment at any time. While everyone was waiting in suspense a man came dashing through the place saving, 'The British are coming - the British are coming.,, This proved to be a false alarm. At the time grandfather was putting on his shoes and stockings. He left one stocking behind, kissed his wife goodbye, jumped upon his horse and rode for dear life as there was danger of his being killed by those in hiding, most of the way being a wilderness and filled with Indians and scouts sent out by the British. The British had sent out a proclamation that all who would remain quietly and peaceably at home should not be molested. Grandmother thought at first she would be brave and remain, but after grandfather had gone and she was left with her little family and the care of the hotel, she became frightened at the fearful hooting and howling at night. Fearing for herself and children she decided to attempt to reach Plattsburgh. She piled bedding, clothing and several little children on a big wagon and sent them on ahead. Then she took other things and followed, leaving her house filled with supplies of all kinds and all that they had gathered together in the few years of their married life. When they reached the old Woodruff place, about four miles this side of Plattsburgh, the road was blocked with felled trees, but Esq. Woodruff came out and let them through, and for the first time she felt safe. They went on to Peru, where they had friends, and grandmother was prostrated by the great anxiety and the effort she had made. When the news came that the British flag had struck, there was no more sickness for her,only suspense, as she did not know whether her husband was killed or not. When the battle was over and the British 'had marched back to Montreal, Sir,' she returned to find only the bare shell of a house; not an article of furniture, no food, all the supplies taken or destroyed, not a whole pane of glass,the front door riddled with bullets, a perfectly bare and desolate place. The only article found was an iron kettle up in the field. Every tree of the young orchard which grandfather had set out was cut down. Only the Free Mason sign upon the house prevented its being burned. Thus they were obliged to begin life anew. Grandmother said they never recovered the great loss of property as her husband did not live many years and there was no one to look after her interests with the government.After the battle several of the inhabitants were taken prisoners, among them old Dr. Carver. He was attending some of the sick and wounded at a hotel which stood just across the road from where the Cummings live. He was taken for an army surgeon. They took him to Montreal and kept him two months. Grandfather was there at the time and was told to get into bed with the sick soldiers, which he did boots and all, and often laughed at how he escaped being taken prisoner. Capt. Fillmore was Colonel by brevet.	EDGERTON, Eunice (I1332)

6893	Even though Helen had married Henry Haaker in 1889, her death record indicates she is the widow of Charles Colbo and she was buried under the name of Helen Colbo. Helen's obit reads as follows: Mrs. Helen Colbo, widow of Charles Colbo, died at the home of her brother, Mr. Thos. Anderson, on Saturday morning, July 27th, aged 45 years, 11 months and 6 days. The cause of Mrs. Colbo's death was consumption. She leaves one daughter, Miss Hattie, and four brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss. The funeral was held from the Norwegian Lutheran church on Tuesday, Rev. Rasmussen preaching the funeral sermon. Mrs. Colbo was a lady highly respected by all. A large circle of friends extend their sympathy to the bereaved ones.	ANDERSON, Helena (I11319)

6895	Excerpt from Pioneer Sketches of Long Point Settlement, E.A. Owen, originally published 1898, reprinted 1972 One of the oldest and best known families of Norfolk is the Anderson family, of Vittoria. Captain Walter Anderson was one of the mudsills in our social foundation, and no name figures more prominently in the annals of old Charlotteville during the first half of the century than that of Anderson. Walter Anderson was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. He was born in 1753, and came to America and settled in the colony of New Jersey just before the colonies threw off their allegiance to the English king. He remained loyal during the trouble of the Revolution, but what particular part he played in the drama does not appear. At the close of the war a party of Loyalists took refuge in a New Jersey fort to escape the abuse that was heaped upon them by their victorious fellow-colonists, and Mr. Anderson was one of them. Being sorely pressed in their place of retreat, Mr. Anderson and a comrade managed to escape in the night, and wend their way into Pennsylvania. They were destitute of means, but had good constitutions, and were richly endowed with that native pluck which so signally distinguishes the sons of "Auld Scotia," making them equal to any emergency in every civilized portion of the globe. Mr. Anderson was a strict Presbyterian, and a ready talker withal, and he proposed to his fellow refugee that they travel as missionaries—he as a preacher, and his friend as an elder. The scheme was adopted and proved highly successful. At one place in a back township they remained a whole week, holding meetings in a school-house and receiving material aid. Who but a Scotchman would have thought of this? They were thus enabled to avoid suspicion as to their being Loyalist refugees, and were housed and feted while making their way out of the country. They came to Upper Canada, and, after sending for his family, Mr. Anderson settled in the Niagara District on land which he drew as a U.E. Loyalist. In 1799 he came up to Long Point settlement with his family. His daughter, Rebecca, possessed a U.E. Loyalist right in her own name, and this she transferred to John McCall in consideration of his relinquishment of Lot 20, 4th concession of Charlotteville. The old Government deed for this Lot and Lot 12, in the 5th concession, has been preserved. It bears date May 17th, 1802, and is signed by Peter Hunter, Esq., "our Lieutenant-Governor of our said Province, and Lieutenant-General commanding our forces in our said Province of Upper Canada." Mr. Anderson was a stonemason by trade, and he was attracted to this lot by the plentiful supply of stone it contained. During the first session of the first term of the Court of Quarter Sessions, held at the house of James Monroe, on the 8th day of April, 1800, Walter Anderson petitioned for a reduction of his statute labor, and the Court granted the petition, fixing his labor for that year at four days. He was a member of the grand jury at this term of Court, it being the first grand jury in the Court history of old London District. As before stated, Captain Anderson was a staunch Presbyterian. He was very strict in his home government and very positive in his religious opinions. He donated two acres in the village of Vittoria for Presbyterian church purposes, but he did not live to see a church edifice erected thereon. This stalwart old pioneer died in 1818 from injuries received in falling from a roof while engaged in building a chimney, being in his 66th year. Mary, his wife, died in 1814, in her 57th year. Captain Walter Anderson had a brother, who settled in New York. William Anderson, a son of this brother was a shoe merchant in New York city, but nothing more is known of this branch of the family. A number of Captain Anderson's children died in early childhood. Those who grew up were five sons—Walter, John, Joseph, James and Henry; and two daughters—Rebecca and Elizabeth.	ANDERSON, Captain Captain Walter (I26016)
6896	Excerpt of will of Thomas Mears, May 16, 1674 in Anne Arundel County, MD in which he "bequeath unto my cousin Christopher Rowles all my wearing clothes and one cow." Ref. Wills Lib. 2 f. 3.	MEARS, Thomas (I658)
6897	Excerpts from "John North of Farmington Connecticut and His Descendants" John North sailed from London at the age of 20 in the Susan and Ellen and landed at Boston April 16, 1635. There is a mystery surrounding John North's marriage. Did he marry twice? There is no authentic record. He was married before leaving Ipswich, for his first child was born there in 1641. But the vital records of that town contain no births or marriages of any Norths or Birds. Most records state that his wife was Hannah, daughter of Thomas Bird. In the distribution of the latter's estate, August - September, 1662, portions were set to Mary Northe and to Hannah Scott, again mentioned March 3, 1663, as good wife Northe and Hannah Scott. From this statement is probably drawn the conclusion in the "Goodwin and Morgan Ancestral Lines," by F.F. Starr, that mary Bird was John North's second wife, and that Hannah was probably the first wife of Edmund Scott. Savage does not give the name of Edmund Scott's first wife and says his second wife was Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Upson. John North's oldest daughter was named Mary. None bore the name Hannah, but both names occur among his granddaughters. No satisfactory explanation being obtainable from this meagre information, it perhaps strengthens the reliability of the various old family records, which state that Hannah Bird was John North's wife. John North died early in 1691-2, aged 76 years. Though he is supposed to have been buried in Farmington, his grave cannot be found. His eill was taken Feb. 12, 1692, by JohnThompson, Sr., and John Orton.	NORTH, John (I12948)
6898	Executor of Mary E. (Luther) North's will, 1892, Albert North Stevenson was born about 1871 in New York, the son of John and Sophia (Kennon) Stevenson. By the age of nine or ten, he was found in June in the 1880 census with his mother and his younger sister and brother (Sophia and Pierre) in Chicago,Cook, Illinois at 94 Walnut Street. The same year in July he was also enumerated with his uncle and aunt, Albert and Betsey(Garrett) Kennon, in Nodaway, Adams, Iowa. Albert's mother died first in 1889 and his father the next year in 1890. In 1892, Albert was made executor of his aunt's will, Mary Elizabeth (Luther) North, half-sister to his mother Sophia Kennon. Mary E. North lived in Chazy, Clinton, New York. Her estate was divided between Albert and his siblings. Sophie got most of the household goods and the remainder of the estate and real estate was divided two-thirds/ one-third between Albert and his brother Pierre. Albert Stevenson married Grace (ca 1873 - ?) about 1903. In 1910, they and their two eldest children, Kate and Albert North, were living on Mackey Ave. in North Hempstead (Port Washington), Nassau, New York. By 1920, with their third child Mary, the family were at 60 Mackey Ave in Port Washington, Nassau, New York. Albert was a hardware merchant in 1920 and owned his own business.	STEVENSON, Albert North (I5399)
6899	Executors of John's will were his third wife, Eleanor and son Thomas, eldest son of his first wife, Elizabeth. Eleanor's son, Walter and Elizabeth's eldest son, Thomas received equally of dwelling plantation, "Poynton Manor," 500 acres each and St. Johns plantation. Walter was to have the portion of Poynton manor where the homestead dwelling was located, after the death of his mother. Sons Matthew and John were to receive Mangawoman Plantation of 500 acres. Daughers Eleanor and Elizabeth were given 400 acres of Durwin. Seven children were mentioned in a subsequent accounting by widow Eleanor. They were Thomas, John, Barbara, Matthew, Walter, Eleanor and Elizabeth.	BAYNE, Eleanor (I685)
