8601	The age of the deceased is given as 38 which is a few years off but baptism and burial are the only records found in the area for someone named Jean Baptiste.	BOUFFORD, Jean Baptiste (I26930)
8602	The Aulls genealogy states that this Sarah Aulls married Andrew Broat and that they are buried in Wheeler Cemetery. The marker in Wheeler shows Sarah, wife of Andrew Broat, died August 14, 1825, aged 52 years. The birthdate of Sarah is in 1785, if she died in 1825, her age would be 40. I question the accuracy of the Aulls Genealogy.	Family: Andrew BROAT / Sarah AULLS (F628)
8603	The Aulls Geneology, by Leslie Aulls Bryan lists Amelia's parents as Uriel and Anna (Pratt) Chapin - this is incorrect. It also gives an incorrect date for her birth (1Aug1825).	CHAPIN, Amelia Wells (I523)
8604	The Baptist Church was organized at a council held September 23, 1843, by eight persons, viz: Elder Edward Otis, Charles B. Miner, Mary G. Miner, Edward Otis, Merrill Otis, Hileman Otis, and Hannah and Sarah Otis, united. The first three of these were from Connecticut, the remainder from Ohio. It was not until two years afterward that preaching was secured. During this time, Elders Otis, Jonathan Miner and others officiated. During the Summer of 1845, Elder Charles E. Tinker was secured to preach one Sunday in each month, and so continued for five years. The meetings were sometimes held on the north side of Barren Grove, and at other times at the west end, in school-houses, and often in the open air. For the last two years of this mail's labors the meetings were not held at Wethersfield, and this church ultimately became the Baptist Church at Annawan. Another church was established at Wethersfield, May 17, 1851, with eleven members. They were: Ezekiel Cole, Mrs. Maria Cole, John Ewing, Mrs. Keziah Ewing, Mrs. Jane White, Mrs. Susan Ellenwood, Mrs. Caroline Purviance, Mrs. Maria F. Miner, Charles B. Miner, Mrs. Mary A. Miner, and Austin Sykes. Of these, the last three named are members.	SMITH, Mariah Jane (I480)

McGOLDRICK, Richard Deane Of Denmark, Maine was born in Boston May 12, 1928 to Bernard Francis and Gertrude (Deane) McGoldrick and passed away peacefully at home on October 3, 2010 after a long battle with esophageal cancer. He lived in Quincy, MA and Centerville, MA, attended Thayerlands Academy and Cranwell Prep in MA and graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Business Administration degree in 1950. He was in the Navy program at UND and was discharged from the Navy in 1954 as a LTJG.

He was married to Marcia O'Keeffe in 1951. They had four children: Bernard Francis, Mary Marcia, Richard Deane Jr. and Michael Arthur and resided in Wellesley, MA. In 1977 Dick was one in a cadre of men who opened a half-way house known as Answer House, supported their fundraising efforts and realized the eventual addition of Sullivan House, both in South Boston. Dick was an avid golfer, played in many tournaments and in 1973 was president of Woodlands Country Club in Newton, MA. Dick moved to Maine in 1984 where he operated Old Port Yacht Sales in Portland. Here he met his loving wife, Marilyn. Together they enjoyed sailing the Maine coast as well as "going south" and cruising the Caribbean. They also journeyed on many extended motor home trip adventures around the country. Dick moved to Denmark, Maine in 1985, sold his food brokerage company and started new careers, which included becoming an EMT II, a constable, an Animal Control Officer (in 10 towns), a Substance Abuse Councillor, a Domestic Violence facilitator, a Bail Commissioner, President of Harvest Hills Animal Shelter, and was again active in community theatre.

8615	The California Death Certificate index lists the death of a Constanc L. Stillings who was born in Minnesota on Jun 1, 1890 and died Feb. 19, 1976. I do not have independent verification whether this record belongs to "my" Constance. Also enumerated in the California index is one Phyllis B. Longerbeam, born North Dakota Jan 7., 1923, died Oct 31, 1993 in San Diego County. This Phyllis could be Constance's daughter.	ALDEN, Constance (I17018)

8620	The children and grandchildren of Frances Foote suffered very much from the Indians. Her oldest child, Hannah, married Samuel Gillet in 1668 and had 4 children. While they were all very small, Hannah's husband was killed in the great fight with the Indians at Turners Falls on the Connecticut River, May 19, 1676. The next year Hannah married Stephen Jennings, and a few months later she was captured by the Indians and taken to Canada. The poor woman - soon to be a mother - left three little children at home, the oldest but six. (Her first baby had been burned to death). Hannah was rescued in a few months, then her baby was born and named Captivity. some years later they moved to Brookfield, Massachusetts. One day in July Hannah's husband Mr. Jennings was in the meadow, with five other men, making hay, when some Indians sprang upon them suddenly and killed them. The husband of her daughter Captivity was also slain by the Indians. Another daughter of Frances Foote and John Dickinson, Sarah, who married Samuel Lane and had five children, also had a terrible experience. Less than a year after Samuel Lane's death in 1690, she married a widower, Martin Kellogg, with two small children, whose wife had died six months before. They had four more children. Three of the last children and one of the first wife's who was named Martin were captured by the Indians in Deerfield, February 29, 1704 and taken to Canada. Martin Kellogg, Jr. the first wife's child, was rescued but was captured several times. He learned the Indian language and was often employed to interpret treaties with the Indians. He became a Captan and was remarkable even in that day of strong men for his great strength and firmness, and many tales are told of his exploits. The three other children of Sarah Dickenson and Martin Kellogg, Sr. who were captured were; Joseph, 13; Joanna, 11; and Rebecca,9. Joseph learned the Indian language and on his return from captivity often acted as an interpreter. Joanna stayed with the Indians and finally married an Indian Chief and had a number of children. Once she came to visit her half brother, Martin Kellogg, Jr., bringing some of her children with her. He tried to persuade her to stay with him, but she would not and returned to her Indian home. Rebecca remained with the Indians until she was grown. Then she married Benjamin Ashley. Knowing the Indian language so well, she was often employed as an interpreter by the missionaries. At one time she went with one of them through the woods on a mission to the Indians and died in an Indian village.	FOOTE, Frances (I4321)

8636	The first ads touting a marvelous memory discovery which allows "any book learned in one reading." begin showing up in the United States. A search of newspapers finds ads from Vermont to California and Texas to the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. Pictured is the ad that appeared in "The Progress" in White Earth, MN, typical of most. The professor claims he is recommended by Mark Twain and W.W. Astor and that he has given classes at Yale, U of Penn., Wellesley and Chautauqua University. At about this time ads also begin appearing in Melbourne, Australia.	LARROWE, Marcus Dwight (I16391)
8637	The first government township to be separately organized in Martin county was Nashville Township. Because of its proximity to much timber on the Blue Earth river and being nearer to market, Nashville settled rapidly and in 1864 had sufficient people to maintain a township government. In April, 1864, A. M. Nash and other residents petitioned the board of county commissioners to set Nashville off from what was then known as Waverly precinct and call a special township election to elect officers. The commissioners granted the petition and ordered the election to be held May 3, 1864 at the home of A. M. Nash. Some of the residents wanted the township named Buffalo as shortly before a few of these animals had been seen in the township, probably the last buffalo ever seen in the county. The commissioners however decided to honor the name of Mr. Nash and called the township Nashville.	NASH, Alanson M. (I19637)
8638	The first permanent white resident of Calis arrive in 1779 from Machais, Maine, some 45 miles south. Many of the first residents were from that area in Maine.

DENZER, Pansy Pearl (I25218)
8641	The following was taken from "The Narrative of Captain John Fillmore" a brochure printed in 1837 bu A. M. Clapp of Aurora, NY. At an early age, John had a yearning to go to sea. This, his mother, understandably, opposed, and John respected her wishes awaiting the time when he would become of age, or gain his mother's consents. In the meantime, John was apprenticed to learn the carpenter trade. One of his acquaintances, William White, was apprenticed to a tailor. After about two years, John again sought permission to go on a voyage to the West Indies. Recognizing his strong desire for the sea, and realizing that his could not be long postponed, Abigail, now Mrs. (Dr.) Robert Bell, gave consent for him to go aboard the fishing sloop, Dolphin, with Captain Mark Haskell. After a few weeks at sea and off the coast of Newfoundland, the Dolphin was hailed by another vessel, which they feared to be a pirate ship, as indeed it was, and commanded, by none other than the notorious pirate, Captain John Phillips. The fishing sloop was capable of neither fight nor flight. The pirate ship sent a boat to the sloop demanding the names of the crewmembers and content of cargo. When these had been supplied the boat returned to the pirate ship. After a short delay it again came to the fishing sloop with a message from Captain Phillips. If they would send him John Fillmore the sloop and the remainder of the crew would not be molested. There was a hurried conference in which John refused to go aboard the pirate ship. Captain Haskell also gave his refusal. Phillips was incensed with the refusal and sent again with orders to bring Fillmore dead or alive, saying also, that if Fillmore came he would release him at the end of two months. John realized that further refusal would, in all probability, mean instant death for himself and all of the crew. He decided to go rather than to bring the vengeance on the pirates upon his comrades. Once on board the pirate ship John was amazed to find his former acquaintance William White, as a member of the pirate crew. White had told Captain Phillips that if he could engage Fillmore in his service he would have a good stout, resolute fellow, every way, as a hand. Aboard the pirate ship, John refused to sign the "Articles of Piracy", and thus became what was known as a "forced man." There were ten men in the pirate crew, all but John having subscribed to the articles. Treatment at first was better than he had anticipated, John being assigned mainly to the helm. In the weeks, which followed, no capture of any consequence had been made. At the end of two months John requested his release according to agreement, but Phillips replied that since they had done little business as yet he could not spare him, but would set him at liberty at the end of a further three months. Little of value was taken during this period. However, a few new hands had been acquired, some of whom did and others did not sign the articles. John again requested his release, according to promise, saying he wished to go to see his mother who had heard nothing from him since the return of the fishing sloop with the news of his misfortune. "Let you at liberty! Damn you, you shall be set at liberty when I'm damned, and not before," replied Phillips in a rage. Thereafter conditions for John worsened. One day when they had failed in an attempt to overtake a fine merchant vessel, Phillips, in a rage, cut with his sword, eleven holes through John's hat and the skin of his head. On another occasion Phillips accused John of plotting against him and drawing a concealed pistol from his coat, pointed it at John's breast and pulled the trigger. Happily for John, it missed fire. Phillips recocked the pistol and again attempted to shoot, but John struck the pistol aside and was unharmed. John became more fearful and also more watchful of any attempt upon his life. He determined that if such an attempt were made he would sell his life as dearly as possible. About the end of the seventh month from my entering on board, we took a merchantman belonging to Boston, Captain Harridon commander; young man about twenty-two years of age. The father of this young man was a merchant in Boston, and had given his son the education requisite for a mariner, and sent him to the West Indies, Captain of this vessel, in which he was returning when we took him. This vessel, the 'Squirrel', of Cape Anne, was taken in April 1724. This vessel was a fine, fast ship and Captain Phillips took her for his operations, handing over his former ship to other members of his crew. John is credited with having formed a plan to overcome the pirate crew and take charge of the ship. When an opportunity arrived the plan was put into action. There was a brief, bloody battle in which Captain John Phillips was 'dispatched'. The pirates were overcome, and those still living were bound. The new crew brought the ship into Boston Harbour and handed it over to the authorities. All crewmembers were arrested and charged with "Piracy, felony and robberies." The trial was held at the Court of Admiralty, Boston, 12 May 1724, with the Honorable William Drummer, Esq. "Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England." John Fillmore and Edward Cheeseman were the first prisoners to be brought before the court. Nine charges of "piracy, felony and robbery" were read. They pleaded "Not Guilty". Evidence was taken from other crewmembers and from the two "prisoners at the bar". After the trial the prisoners were taken away and "The Court was cleared and in private." "Then the Court having duly weighed and maturely considered the evidence, unanimously agreed, and voted, that the said John Fillmore and Edward Cheeseman were "Not Guilty." The Court awarded John Fillmore a gun, a silver-hilted sword, a curious tobacco box, silver shoe and knee buckles and two gold rings the pirate captains used to wear. Of the eleven other persons tried, four were found "guilty" and sentenced to be executed. Seven others were found "not guilty." The record of the trial is in the Massachusetts State Archives, State House, Boston, Volume 63, pages 342 and following; Criminal Trials, May 12, 13, 1724. John Fillmore was known as Captain John and "Cpt. John Fillmore" is inscribed on his gravestone. He is buried in Plain Hill Cemetery, Franklin, Conn. The rank of 'Captain' was a military one. He was commissioned a Captain of the 7th Military Company in Norwich, May 1750. He was discharged, at his own request, April 29, 1754. (Military Papers in the State Department at Hartford, Conn. Vol. IV, pg. 253, and Vol. V, pg. 176) John also purchased property, from Samuel Griswold, Jr., conveying some 70 acres of Plain Hill in Norwich, on November 9, 1724. He bought the property for 103 pounds. Plain Hill was in the part of Norwich known as West Farms. On May 2, 1786, this area was incorporated as Franklin, named in honor of Benjamin Franklin. John and Mary had four children, John; Abigail; Mary, and Henry. Mary (Spiller) Fillmore died following the birth of Henry on June 1733. It is unknown where she is buried. An incident recorded in Caulkins, History of Norwich: "In 1756, three sons of Capt. John Fillmore, Jr., viz., Nathaniel, Comfort and Amaziah, were brought before Mr. Justice Huntington charged with driving the rate collector from their father's house, armed with clubs and making use of threats and abusive language. Being minors, they were released without penalty, but the record intimates that their father was implicated in the misconduct of his sons." The family was probably Separatists and refused to pay rates for the support of the regular ministry. The 'regular ministry' would be that of the Episcopal Church. Several Fillmore families of this and the next two generations were staunch supporters of the Methodist-Episcopal Church. Later generations of the Fillmores were predominately Baptists. In the earliest Nova Scotia Census Records extant many Fillmores designated themselves as "Dissenters" in the column indicating religious affiliation. Of the three sons of John Fillmore, Nathaniel had a distinguished record as a soldier; Amaziah joined the expedition to Cuba in 1762, was present at the reduction of Havana, where he died shortly after of fever. Comfort continued to reside on his father's homestead and had a family of fourteen children. Dorcas, second wife of John Fillmore, died on March 16, 1759, she was 45 years of age. Their youngest child, Deliverance was known as 'Dillie' and was born on January 2, 1757. Capt. John Fillmore married, third, widow Mary Roach on January 1760. They did not have any children. Mary died on April 23, 1798. Capt. John Fillmore died in Norwich (Franklin), Ct., on February 22, 1777. He was buried in Plain Hill Cemetery beside his wife, Dorcas. The inscription of his gravestone read: "Behold and see as you pass by As you are now so once was I As I am now so you must be Prepare for death & follow me." John's homestead went to Comfort Fillmore and subsequently to his youngest son, Comfort Day Fillmore. The gun, awarded to John from the pirate ship, also went to Comfort Day. Comfort Day later resided in Lisbon, Conn. In his will, dated September 19, 1774, Capt. John Fillmore mentions his wife Mary, and all of his surviving children, fourteen in number. His estate was appraised on March 14, 17, 19 and 20, 1777.	FILLMORE, John (I815)
8642	The following was taken from the Hatfield Town Records: 'Elizabeth, wife to Daniel Belden head of the family, together with Daniel Belden, John Belden and Thankful Belden, their children, were all of them slaine by the enemie September 16,1696. ''Sept. 16, 1696.

8645	The Foote Family (A.W. Foote) lists her birth year as 1648, an obvious error, I've listed it as 1684.	JENNINGS, Sarah (I7642)
8646	The George Wright document states: 1) "This John died before 1779 because his widow is listed in the 1779 tax records for Menallen Township." 2) This John Wright was called "Stone House Johnny" and was supposedly a veteran of the Revolutionary War in spite of his being a Quaker. John's will is on file in Will Book C, p. 131 in Adams Co., PA. It was written 15-Aug-1817 and probated 4-Jul-1820. Perhaps the author has the father and son mixed up.	WRIGHT, John (I9269)
8647	The Hawkins came from RI, Abraham being the earliest we know of. He fought in the Revolutionary War and settled in Wallingford, VT. He had two wives and 16 children. George Washington Hawkins was his first born (in NH) and had two wives as well with 21 children. He lived near Plattsburgh NY and in the 1840's moved his family to Lake County IL (his last child was born in IL). Tertius would seem to be the third child but was the fourth by the second wife, Isabelle Stetson. She was descended from Cornet Robert Stetson who was prominent in King Phillip's War in the 1690's in MA. The hatmaker branches off very early winding up in Philadelphia.	HAWKINS, George Washington (I26479)
8648	The history of the Sacred Heart Church of Reedsburg, dates from 1880, which was the year the first Catholic Church of Reedsburg was erected. For some time previous, however, there had been mass meetings, conducted by the Rev. Father Whiteof Baraboo, in several private homes. As early as 1876 Mrs. E. F. Buelow, a resident of Reedsburg, began to circulate a subscription among those of her faith in the village, and in a few years the sum had amounted to enough so that in the fall of 1879 work was begun on the erection of a church. It was completed in 1880, dedicated that spring, and cost $1,200. The subscribers to the fund and members of the parish were the families of Paul Bishop, Patrick Tierney, Peter Byrne, Stephen Timlin, William Horkan, E. F. Buelow, Edward Timlin, Mrs. Frank Ingalls, William Boehn, Frank Meckler and Mrs. Lassallette.	BUELOW, Edward Frederick (I3274)
8649	The Hitchcock genealogy states that Mercy is born in 1681 and that she dies in 1774 at the age of 86. No explanation for the math error.	HITCHCOCK, Mercy (I4877)
8650	The Illinois Marriage index lists a marriage between Wimar and Wilhelmina on Feb. 20, 1888 (this may be the date of the marriage or the date licence was issued). The Iowa State database of marriages also lists a marriage between Wimar and Wilhelmina in Chickasaw Co., on Feb 13, 1888.	Family: Weimer OBERHAUSER / Wilhelmina WEGNER (F288)
