COLLIERS OF MASS. V. II Generation No. 6 – DRAFT DRAFT 3-21-08 THIS BASIC GENEALOGY IS THE PRIMARY DOCUMENT IN APRIL 2008. ------------ INTRODUCTION – “DRAFT 10-19-06” and later (revised through 3-21-08) The introduction to Vol. One of the Colliers of Mass. still seems to be fairly adequate. I will add merely that at many points in generations 6 – 8 we have a frustrating lack of biographical data on our ancestors. In particular, New Jersey records, where we are interested in descendants of Moses (2) Collier, are sparse until about 1830, as earlier U. S. censuses have been lost. In Boston, Mass., there are no fairly complete records until about 1850, when Vital Records of the city began being collected at the state level. (It was in 1841 that the process of collecting records from all Massachusetts towns began, but some towns did not join the process for some years.) With unlimited time and access to all the records of the areas in which our ancestors lived, including probate and land transactions, we would be able to fill in some of these blanks, but we do the best we can. Starting with the Federal census of 1850 each individual in a family was listed with such information as age, occupation, birthplace, birthplace of parents, sometimes relationship to head of family, etc. We are thus able to find more generally available data from about the mid-19th century. Etc, etc. . . . . . . It was typical of the early genealogies NOT to follow the “female” lines. This means that we must look at more original records to follow those lines, Etc, etc. . . . . . . In some cases early genealogies and other records, particularly of the “Collier/Loring” descendants in Maine, were not as complete as they might have been. I have attempted to fill the voids, but gaps remain. My apologies to all, but particularly to the women who may read these notes, for the lack of coverage given to our “foremothers.” We all know they did, and do, most of the important work, while the men get the attention. It certainly was like that in the genealogy field, where until fairly recent days the daughters were essentially dropped from the list after they married. I have tried to find and restore as many names as possible. Even after the 1850 census started listing each individual in a household, with an occupation, it was rare to find a wife or unmarried daughter listed with a job title other than “keeping house.” I am aware of the inequity. Email to family and fellow researchers, Feb. 13, 2008 – Dear Friends, Sorry to have been such a recluse for the last couple of months. Among other things, I have devoted several hours a day to work on the next volume of the Collier genealogy - my last, as you will read below. I have reached a good point for a break, as I have the names and numbering system established for Generation 6. (This is not to say that I won't have to make some changes as I begin the final re-write, but I am satisfied that I am ready to begin that process.) I am attaching a very basic “DRAFT” genealogy of the 6th American generation of the descendants of Thomas and Susannah Collier, who in 1635 were among the first main group of planters in Hingham, Massachusetts. Other names in that first group were Otis, Loring and, I believe, three Lincolns. One of the latter was an ancestor of Abraham Lincoln. During nearly 400 years of living in America, “Colliers” have inter-married with descendants of all those families, and hundreds of others. Some were early immigrants to the Colonies, others came much later. The story of those marriages, children and the varied lives of our grandparents is, of course, the story I have tried to assemble from many fragments. (I follow the “Register” numbering system, in which only those individuals who had traceable children are given an identifying number.) What you have in the present document is the “uninteresting” but essential stuff: the bare names, dates and places. Over the last 3 months I have been locked in my garret – can a garret be in a basement? – reviewing my research on Generation 6, trying to identify “Unknowns,” analyzing “possibles, probables, etc.” Among other progress during that period, I have identified 79 “new” individuals in Generation 7 – the children of Generation 6 whose names appear in this draft – who had known children themselves. Roughly 66 of this number came from the Mass./Maine families, and 13 from New Jersey. I have inserted brief biographical notes, sometimes as little as “. . .farmer, moved to Wisconsin. . . ,” or, “John and Mary were the grandparents of [fill in the blank].” You will also see in a few instances notes to myself to check further on one matter or another, information to be wary of, and other similar items. This is, after all, a draft. I have the notes for a biography of the 136 “primary” individuals in Generation Six – some extensive, some little more than a name – but have not gone far with the re-writing and editing of those notes. Completing that and inserting references is the next project. I will be posting this draft of Generation Six on the various online genealogy forums. If past experience is a guide, this may bring our work to the attention of a few more distant cousins. ---------- A couple of additional housekeeping items today: 1) To my knowledge, no one has produced a verified English origin for Thomas and Susannah Collier. A tradition in the “Colliers of Cohasset” line, dating from the 19th century, is that Thomas was from Plymouth, Devon. Some online postings – again, NOT verified to my satisfaction, if at all – suggest Lancashire and other parts of late 16th – early 17th century England. I have looked at transcriptions or images of period records enough to say that there were several Thomas Colliers (various spellings) in England at the time. Devon still seems to me as likely an area as any, but I know some of you have other thoughts. Unless and until we find English baptismal records for Thomas and Susannah’s known children – Thomas, Jr., born about 1622; Moses, born about 1625; and daughter Susannah/Susanna, birth date unknown, all of whom came to Hingham – I will leave the question of English origins to others. I foresee that someday we will have some type of DNA testing done, which may provide at least a general area of origin. 2) I am providing at the end of the attached draft of Gen. 6 a very rough index, intended to allow you to find the particular “Colliers” you are interested in/descended from. I copy this in at the bottom of this cover message, as well. I would ask that any of you who are fairly serious about this genealogy take the time to check at least those parts of Generation 6 in which you are interested and/or knowledgeable. Let me know of any errors you spot, or additions you can make. It will be many months before I am ready to publish Volume Two, which will consist only of Gen. 6, so there is no rush in getting back to me. I thank all of you in advance for your contributions and proof reading. 3) When The Colliers of Massachusetts, Volume Two, is finally "finished" to the best of my ability, printed, and on its way to you and the various libraries and historical societies to which I donated copies of Volume One, I am going to retire from the active production of genealogies. With the research results on # 157 in Generation Two – “Gershom Collier of Boston and Chesterfield, Mass.” – I will have answered to my own satisfaction the question that launched me on this decade-long project: “Where did the Colliers of Munson and Southington, Ohio come from?” I naively thought that with just a little poking about on the back shelves of a library, I would find my answer in an old book. Instead, I discovered that I had to produce my own book. Two, in fact. All honors to those who have gone down this path before me, I say. 4) The “Collier” information I have gathered, beyond the 6th Generation, I will eventually donate to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Mother Lode for New England family history, on Newbury Street, Boston. There it will have a safe home, and can be accessed by our children or grandchildren when someday they ask, “Where did we come from?” If any of you should want to take up the writing task yourself, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Again, there is no need for a rush decision, as I will no doubt continue the work, at a less intense pace, for years to come.

DRAFT NOTES: Ezekiel Loring presumably came with his father from Hull, Mass. to North Yarmouth a little before 1750. (1) As the Loring records and volume one of this genealogy indicate, Ezekiel’s uncle, Rev. Nicholas Loring, was the leader of this movement from South Shore Massachusetts to the community a few miles north of Falmouth (now Portland, Maine). On July 27, 1753. he and Hannah Buxton of Falmouth published their intention to marry. The date of marriage was December 13, 1753. (2) The Loring Genealogy summarizes Ezekiel’s life as follows: "He lived in that part of old North Yarmouth, Me., which was afterward incorporated as Pownal. He enlisted in the Revolutionary army July 3, 1775, served six months on the seacoast of Maine. He enlisted in Captain Mayberry's company and was allowed mileage to his home, one hundred and fifty-five miles, from Dorchester where his regiment was August 29, 1776. Was quartermaster's sergeant in Capt. John Gray's company in Col. Jonathan Mitchell's regiment in the Penobscot expedition in 1779. He later lived on a farm at Pownal." (3) In addition to farming, Ezekiel seems to have practiced the coopering trade. (4) In the latter part of his life there are several land transactions recorded between Ezekiel and, among others, several of his sons-in-law. Most of these lots were in New Gloucester, Maine, another Cumberland County town, located northwest of Pownal. (North Yarmouth was the “mother” town for most of these settlements.) Ezekiel purchased land in New Gloucester in 1782, and may have lived there until his death. (5) 78.

DRAFT NOTES: Samuel Cutter was a farmer, and First Lieutenant in Maine regiments during the Revolutionary War. The Loring Genealogy, p. 51, gives date of death of Amelia as January 8, 1799, while A History of the Cutter Family of New England (1871), p. 76, transcribes her gravestone as stating she died “. . .Oct. 1809, Aet. 71.” The latter date is probably correct, in view of her birth in Hull, March 7, 1738/39. 81.

DRAFT NOTES: Binney Genealogy, pp. 63-65: "...He went to sea from Hull, in his youth, and left there for Weymouth, at the age of 25, and probably went to sea a while from Scituate. "He went to Weymouth, and was a tailor and clothier there. He voted ‘yes’ in town meeting in Weymouth, 1774 [sic] in favor of adopting the U. S. Constitution." He was a soldier in the Revolutionary army, from Weymouth, and served on April 19, 1775 in Capt. Jacob Gould's, Co., Col. Benjamin Lincoln's regiment. He also served in Col Solomon Lovell's regiment in Dorchester, March, 1776; in Hull, Aug 1787 [sic -- no doubt 1777]; 2 months in Cambridge, Feb. - Apr. 1778; and 6 months in Col. Crane's regiment of artillery, Boston, from July - Dec., 1780. "In company with Elisha Gould, as tailors, he made clothing for the soldiers in his own house." [On his death] "Being inform, he was run over by two fast young men [in a carriage], on their return from muster, and never spoke after it." 106. DORCAS6 BINNEY (ELIZABETH5 LORING, ELIZABETH4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born June 30, 1745 in Hull, Massachusetts. She possibly died in Boston, April 2, 1813. She married JOSHUA BAILEY October 14, 1764 in Hull, son of THOMAS BAILEY and ANNA LORING. He was born December 14, 1734 in Hull, and died on Rainsford Island, Boston Harbor, of smallpox. Children of DORCAS BINNEY and JOSHUA BAILEY are: i. JOSHUA7 BAILEY, JR., b. July 22, 1765, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Possibly the individual who died in Boston in March 1813. ii. SAMUEL BAILEY. iii. LORING BAILEY. Possibly the individual of this name who was in Boston at the 1810 Census, or died there April 1811. [Note: Register 78:412] Possibly married in Boston at least once, and had children, but I cannot confirm identity. iv. BARNABAS BAILEY, b. Abt. 1775; d. Aft. 1849, possibly Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Was a glazier and glass cutter in Boston at least from 1800 on. Have not determined whether he married or had children. He could be the Barnabas “Bayley” who was married to Miss Phebe Winchester by Rev. Thomas Baldwin at the 2d Baptist Church of Boston, July 3, 1808. [Note: Register 125:219] Barnabas Bailey appears in Nassau St., Boston, in the 1821 Tax List. DRAFT NOTES: HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND MUCH MATERIAL ON THIS FAMILY. The names Joshua and Loring Bailey were surprisingly common in Massachusetts in the late 18th – early 19th centuries, and I haven’t been able to identify “our” individuals. Mrs. Dorcas “Bayley” died in Boston, April 2, 1813, age 68. This would be about the correct age for Dorcas Binney. [[Note: Register 79:41] On the same page is recorded the death of a Joshua Bailey, age 48, in March 1813 – no day of the month given. This could be son Joshua, Jr., b. July 1765. 107. ROBERT6 GOULD (JANE5 LORING, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born May 29, 1759 in Hull, and died February 26, 1832 in Hingham, Massachusetts. He married MARY LINCOLN February 4, 1783, daughter of JOSIAH LINCOLN and MARY HOLBROOK. She was born July 22, 1763 in Hingham, and died there November 3, 1847. . Children of ROBERT GOULD and MARY (or, “Molly”) LINCOLN, all born Hull or Hingham, are: 332. i. JOHN7 GOULD, ESQ., b. September 26, 1783, Hull; d. Aft. 1838; m. (1) BERTHA TIRRELL BINNEY, February 28, 1811, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; b. October 29, 1791, Hull; d. May 31, 1830, Hull; m. (2) MARY COLE, December 30, 1838. .333. ii.

JANE GOULD, b. April 11, 1786, Hull; d. there May 12, 1787. iv. MARY/MOLLEY GOULD, b. December 6, 1789, Hull; m., as his 2d wife, LEWIS PRATT, June 20, 1827, Hingham. No children recorded in Hingham. In the 1850 census Lewis is listed as a shoemaker, but he also farmed at times. v. JOSIAH LINCOLN GOULD, b. January 10, 1792, Hingham; d. February 26, 1795, Hingham. . 334. vi. ROBERT GOULD, JR., REV., b. October 8, 1794, Hingham; d. there March 24, 1864; m. REBECCA LORING BINNEY, September 29, 1816, Hull; b. August 26, 1793, Hull; d. Marshfield, Massachusetts April 11, 1858. Robert was a Methodist minister, a graduate of “M. U. Conn.,” possibly a predecessor of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., which began functioning under the latter name in 1831. Robert Gould was also “several times a Representative at the General Court from Hull; also, in 1853, a member of the constitutional Convention.” He resided in Hingham after 1853. [Lincoln Hingham II:276] 335. vii. LINCOLN GOULD, b. June 5, 1799, Hingham; d. Aft. 1890, probably Hingham; m. ELIZA PORTER, October 22, 1822, Marshfield, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; b. there May 25, 1799; d. July 16, 1879, Hingham. Lincoln was a shoemaker by trade. viii. LYDIA GOULD, b.

HAYWARD BAILEY, November 8, 1827, Hingham, Mass.; b. 1805, Scituate, Mass.; d. December 26, 1844, Worcester, Mass.. DRAFT NOTES: I have found no specific biographical details about Robert Gould, but he must have been a respected citizen of Hingham, as in 1796 he was one of the Selectmen there. [Notes: Lincoln, Hist. Of Hingham II: 276-277)] DATES IN LINCOLN HAVE MINOR VARIATIONS FROM OTHER SOURCES -- CHECK, ANNOTATE. 108. SAMUEL6 LORING, JR. (SAMUEL5, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born November 9, 1753 in Hull, and died there June 14, 1840. He married HULDAH GOULD Aft. December 11, 1783 in Hull, daughter of JOHN GOULD and HULDAH BREWSTER. She was born August 29, 1747 in Hull, and died there July 23, 1820. Children of SAMUEL LORING and HULDAH GOULD, all born in Hull, are: 337. i. SAMUEL7 LORING, JR., b. October 21, 1784; d. November 9, 1868. ii. HULDAH LORING, b. May 11, 1786. Probably died young, in Hull. 338. iii. JOHN GOULD LORING, b. April 5, 1788; d. January 22, 1853. iv. JANE LORING, b. May 1790; d. September 5, 1791, Hull. DRAFT NOTES: Samuel Loring, Jr. was probably a farmer in Hull, but the 1917 Loring Genealogy mistakenly omits an entry for him, while giving some details on his two sons. He and wife Huldah, a descendant of Elder William Brewster of Plymouth, and William Collier of Duxbury, are both buried in Hull Village Cemetery. 109. JANE6 LORING (SAMUEL5, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born October 12, 1755 in Hull, Massachusetts, and died May 21, 1841 in Boston, Massachusetts. She married BENJAMIN BINNEY November 16, 1773, son of AMOS BINNEY and REBECCA LORING. He was born October 19, 1749 in Hull, and died there July 16, 1783. Children of JANE LORING and BENJAMIN BINNEY are: i. BENJAMIN7 BINNEY, b. May 4, 1774, Hull; d. before 1850, probably East Cambridge, Mass.; m. LYDIA GREENLEAF, .May 18, 1797, Boston; b. September 5, 1773, Hull, d. January 1858, East Cambridge. Benjamin probably worked in Boston in the early 1800s -- check directories further. ii. JOSHUA BINNEY, b. January 1, 1777, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; m. HANNAH GETCHEL, 1803; possibly b. Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts. Probably had children in Boston – cannot yet confirm. iii. MATTHEW BINNEY, b. November 3, 1779, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; d. April 18, 1800. iv. JONATHAN BINNEY, b. April 18, 1782, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; d. October 20, 1792, Hull, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. DRAFT NOTES: Binney Genealogy, pages 61 – 62: "Benjamin Binney was wading over from Hull to Petticks Island, to see his cattle, attempting to wade and swim, was drowned, his boy Joseph Angier was present, and saved his clothes, with which he ran to the town for help, the people tried, but did not recover his body...." "In 1775, Benjamin Binney was constable and collector of Hull, and surveyor of highways. Benjamin (Bene ?) Binney, aged 25, belonged to one of the four Independent Cos., at Hull March 1, 1777. March 15, 1776, he served two days in Capt. Peter Cushing's Co., Col. Solomon Lovell's regiment, assisting to guard the shore of Hingham, and enlisted March 1778, thirty-two days service, in Hull. Oct. 22, 1783, his widow Jane, administered on his estate, he styled yeoman. She resided in Cross St., Boston in 1790." Jane Loring and Benjamin Binney were 2d cousins. 110. MARY6 LORING (SAMUEL5, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born May 25, 1757 in Hull, and died there February 4, 1809. She married GIDEON TIRRELL Aft. January 14, 1782 in Hull. He was born Abt. 1753, possibly in Weymouth, Massachusetts, and died February 26, 1823 in Hull. Children of MARY LORING and GIDEON TIRRELL, all born in Hull, are: 339. i. EBENEZER7 TIRRELL, b. May 6, 1783; . m. MARY UNKNOWN. ii. GIDEON TIRRELL, b. October 11, 1784; d. December 30, 1801, Hull. iii. NANCY TIRRELL, b. November 2, 1786; d. May 14, 1802, Hull. iv. MARY TIRRELL, b. August 24, 1788; d. January 28, 1810, Hull. v. ELIZABETH TIRRELL, b. December 1, 1789; m. MATTHEW HULL, 1812, Hull. No later record yet found. vi. LORING TIRRELL, b. June 28, 1791. Name possibly “Samuel Loring.” He may have married and had children in Weymouth, but I cannot confirm identity.. vii. JANE TIRRELL, b. May 29, 1795; d. May 11, 1802, Hull. viii. MARIA TIRRELL, b. February 13, 1797; d. December 1839, Hull. No record of marriage seen. ix. HANAH TIRRELL, b. May 19, 1799. Her name is so given on page 36, Hull VRs. DRAFT NOTES: Information on this family is very sparse. Some conflicting information is in Chamberlain’s Weymouth Families. The Tirrell family had been in Weymouth for several generations, and a grandfather of Gideon’s – of the same name – had been a well-to-do land owner, a Weymouth selectman, and a member of the General Court. 111. JONATHAN6 LORING (SAMUEL5, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born February 2, 1759 in Hull, and died there July 6, 1830. He married LYDIA GOULD December 11, 1783 in Hull, daughter of ELISHA GOULD and EXPERIENCE LORING. She was born April 6, 1763 in Hull, and died Aft. 1796.

JONATHAN BRUCE, JR., August 30. 1812, Hull or Hingham; b. about 179, probably Marlborough, Mass.; d. February 15, 1868, Hudson, Mass. (Jonathan Bruce, Jr. was Keeper of Boston Light 1811 – 1833, and later a pilot. At least one child, Jonathan (ca. 1817 - November 5, 1891) was born at Boston Light.) . iv. ELIZA LORING, b. Abt. 1795; d. March 16, 1811, Hull. . v. ELISHA LORING, b. Abt. 1796; d. March 20, 1810, Hull , Plymouth County, Massachusetts. (LYDIA GOULD is # 117 in this genealogy. Jonathan Loring and Lydia Gould were first cousins.) DRAFT NOTES: As with his brother Samuel Loring, Jr. (see # 108, above), the 1917 Loring Genealogy has no main entry for Jonathan, while covering some of his children. Jonathan appears in the 1810 and 1820 Federal censuses of Hull, but in those years there are no entries to show occupation. 112. MATTHEW6 LORING (SAMUEL5, JANE4 COLLIER, JOHN3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was probably born September 18, 1751, in Hull. He married (1) AGNES E. FLOYD January 1, 1786 in Boston or Hull, Massachusetts. She was born May 1747 in Boston, and died Bef. June 1799. He married (2) HANNAH BLAKE June 13, 1799 in Boston or Hull. b. April 4, 1752 in Boston, d. before June 1801. He married (3) MERCY BATES on June 7, 1801 in Boston. She was born in Bath, Maine and died after 1817. Children of MATTHEW LORING and AGNES FLOYD are: i. SARAH7 LORING, b. October 20, 1787, Boston; d. January 11, 1812; m. THOMAS NEWCOMB, August 2, 1810, Boston, Mass.; b. March 9, 1784, Hull; d. March 4, 1878, Haverhill, Essex County, Mass. No record of children found. Thomas Newcomb and Sarah Loring were first cousins. (See “Appendix 2,” this volume of the Collier genealogy.) ii. EBENEZER LORING, b. January 23, 1790, Boston; d. early.” iii. NANCY LORING, b. Abt.

DRAFT NOTES: Matthew Loring was at the Boston Tea Party, December 16, 1773. This suggests to me that a supposed 2d son Matthew, born to his parents in 1761 Hull, is in error. (Also at the Tea party was “Gershom Collier of Northport,” father or uncle of # 157, and perhaps others with “Collier” connections.) Loring Genealogy, pages 103-104: "He was a cordwainer [maker of fine soft-leather shoes]; lived at Boston; in 1796 was the public "culler of leather." Was captain of the Boston artillery company. Was a private in Colonel Craft's regiment in 1776. Served on the brig 'Hazard' in 1777 and 1778." Buried in the Granary Burying Ground, Tremont St., Boston. The names and dates of his 3 marriages need to be checked carefully, as nicknames were used for the first two, and have led to earlier confusion in published sources. 113.

From 1816 until his death in 1828 the tailor shop was in various locations in Boston. At some point, probably not long after 1800, son Asaph, Jr. joined him in the tailor shop, and it is hard to separate the two records after that time. Asaph Harlow was a descendant of an early Plymouth Colony settler, William Harlow, who was there by 1643. Thomas Harlow, see below, was a brother of Asaph. 126. ELIZABETH6 SPEAR (JOSEPH5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born March 31, 1754 in Hull, and died February 7, 1830 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She married THOMAS HARLOW Aft. May 15, 1777 in Boston, son of ELEAZAR HARLOW and ABIGAIL CLARK. He was born Bef. September 23, 1746 in Duxbury, Mass., and died May 2, 1829 in Cambridge. Child of ELIZABETH SPEAR and THOMAS HARLOW is: i. PHEBE7 HARLOW, b. Abt. 1784; d. March 22, 1832, Cambridge. DRAFT NOTES: Thomas Harlow is probably the individual who was a jeweler in Boston, from at least 1800 on. The business operated from several addresses. Thomas was the brother of Asaph Harlow, see above. 127. GERSHOM6 SPEAR (JOSEPH5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born December 15, 1755 in Hull, and died January 4, 1816, probably in Boston. He married ELIZABETH BRADLEE June 4, 1780 in Boston, daughter of SAMUEL BRADLEE and MARY ANDRUS. She was born September 14, 1757 in Boston, and died January 6, 1832, probably in Boston. Children of GERSHOM SPEAR and ELIZABETH BRADLEE are: i. JOSHUA7 SPEAR, b. December 31, 1780; d. September 25, 1801. 382. ii. MARTHA SPEAR, b. February 12, 1783; d. August 27, 1868, Boston; m.

Abt. 1795. ix. JOSIAH BRADLEE SPEAR, b. June 30, 1800; d. 1833. DRAFT NOTES: The published records of this Gershom Spear are somewhat muddled. He may have served one or more enlistments during the Revolution. Three or four of the brothers of his wife, Elizabeth Bradlee, participated in the Boston Tea Party. By profession, Gershom was a cooper in Boston. Gershom and Elizabeth’s home was in Purchase Street, Boston, and she remained there for some years after his death. 128. SARAH6 SPEAR (DAVID5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born April 24, 1757 in Boston, Massachusetts, and died there May 18, 1783. She married JOHN INGERSOL, CAPTAIN Aft. October 2, 1776 in Boston. He died Aft. 1800, possibly in Boston. Children of SARAH SPEAR and JOHN INGERSOL are: i. DAVID SPEAR7 INGERSOLL, b. April 26, 1779, Boston; m. ELIZA FIELD, February 4, 1804, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Possibly the David S. Ingersol who was listed as a merchant in Bedford Street in the 1823 Boston Directory. ii. JOHN INGERSOLL, b. March 17, 1783, Boston. No later record yet found. DRAFT NOTES: John Ingersol is probably the individual who was a “retailer” in Battery March Street, Boston, at least from 1796 to 1803. I have not determined the origin of his title, “Captain,” although it could derive from service during the Revolution. 129. DAVID6 SPEAR, JR. (DAVID5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born September 18, 1764 in Boston, and died February 13, 1816 in Templeton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. He married (1) MARCY HIGGINS May 3, 1787 in Eastham, Cape Cod, Mass., daughter of FREEMAN HIGGINS and THANKFUL HOPKINS. She was born August 9, 1764 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, and died Aft. October 12, 1802. He married (2) SARAH FAIRBANKS March 1, 1810 in Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. She was born 1790 in Framingham, and died Aft. 1831. Children of DAVID SPEAR and MARCY HIGGINS, all born in Boston, are: i. SARAH7 SPEAR, b. March 20, 1788. ii. DAVID SPEAR, b. Abt. June 1789; d. February 23, 1790, Boston, Massachusetts. iii.

October 3, 1813, Templeton; m. EDWARD E. PARTRIDGE, September 27, 1834, Templeton; b. Abt. 1811, Holden, Worcester County, Massachusetts; d. Aft. November 12, 1865. . DRAFT NOTES: In the 1805 Boston Directory, David Spear, Jr. was a merchant at 6 Foster’s Wharf, Boston. In 1805 and 1806 his business is listed at 2 D. Spear’s Wharf. There is no listing for him in Boston again until 1816, the same year in which he died in Templeton. The 1816 Boston Directory listing is of a merchant in Leverett Street, although it isn’t clear whether this is the same man. The records do not address why the family moved to Templeton, Mass., unless David operated a store in that small town. 130. GRACE6 SPEAR (NATHAN5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born 1751, and died June 12, 1816 in Boston. She married WILLIAM FOSTER, SR. September 29, 1768, probably in Boston; son of THOMAS FOSTER and SARAH BANKS. He was born September 28, 1746 in Boston, and died there 1821. Children of GRACE SPEAR and WILLIAM FOSTER are: 390. i.

DRAFT NOTES: Foster Genealogy, page 940: " In 1784 Nathan Spear visited France, in company with William Foster (who had married his sister Grace), Mrs. Adams (the wife of John Adams), in a letter to her friend, Mrs. Granch, dated July 6, 1784, describing passengers on board the ship "Active," in which she sailed for London, writes of "Mr. Foster, a merchant, a gentleman soft in his manners, very polite and kind, loves domestic life and thinks justly of it. I respect him on this account . . . Mr. Spear brings up the rear, a single gentleman, with a great deal of good humor, some wit, and much drollery, easy and happy, blow high and blow low; can sleep and laugh at all seasons.... Mr. Spear reading 'Thomson's Seasons' with his hat on."- -N. E. H. G. R. xviii, p. 160. [William Foster] was a prominent merchant and public-spirited citizen of Boston about the time of the Revolution, 131. CHRISTIANA6 SPEAR (POOLE5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1771, and died December 10, 1841. She married JABEZ HATCH February 28, 1798 in Boston, Massachusetts, son of JABEZ HATCH and DEBORAH HEWS. He was born 1765 in Boston, and died there March 6, 1836. Children of CHRISTIANA SPEAR and JABEZ HATCH are: i. ELIZA7 HATCH, b. January 9, 1799; d. January 17, 1826; m. OLIVER BIRD; possibly b. New York. 396. ii. MARY HATCH, b. Abt. 1800; d.

DRAFT NOTES: In the 1805 and 1810 Boston Directories, Jabez Hatch is a “wood wharfinger” (A “wharfinger” is a keeper or owner of a wharf.) In later years he listed his occupation as auctioneer. 132. ABIGAIL6 SPEAR (POOLE5, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born 1777 in Boston, Massachusetts, and died June 29, 1852 in Leominster, Worcester County, Massachusetts. She married SAMUEL ABBOTT August 2, 1806, in Boston. He was possibly born Abt. 1765 in Boston, and died in Leominster October 15, 1856. (I cannot yet confirm date or place of either death. There is no indexed record of Abigail in Leominster in the 1850s.) Child of ABIGAIL SPEAR and SAMUEL ABBOTT is: 400. i. JAMES P.7 ABBOTT, b. November 23, 1813, Boston; m. SARAH SMITH SIBLEY, September 22, 1838, Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey; b. April 6, 1813, Bridgeton, New Jersey. . DRAFT NOTES: I cannot certainly identify Samuel Abbott in Boston records. He is probably the Samuel Abbott who was living in South Street, Boston at the 1820 census, with a family of 6 males and 6 females. I cannot confirm names of any of those additional children, although one was probably Henry A., b. about 1820, and another was possibly Mary P., born about 1815. These two were living in the household of Samuel and Abigail in Leominster at the 1850 census. No relationships were given in that census. Henry A. Abbott married and had several children in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. At the 1850 census both Samuel and Henry A. were farmers, Samuel with real estate valued at $4,000. 133. JOHN6 BRAY, JR., MAJOR (MARY5 SPEAR, MARY4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born August 4, 1761 in Hull, and died 1829. He married SARAH CHAPMAN November 10, 1785. Children of JOHN BRAY and SARAH CHAPMAN are: 401. i. SARAH SPEAR7 BRAY, b. March 3, 1787, Boston; d. October 18, 1844, Boston; m. JOHN WINSLOW, JR., October 27, 1808, Boston; b. February 27, 1783, Boston; d. August 20, 1868, Belmont, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. John Winslow was a descendant of John Winslow and Mary Chilton, she a Mayflower passenger. 402. ii. MARIA BRAY, b. Aft. 1785, probably Boston; d. Bef. 1840; m. ZACHARIAH GARDNER WHITMAN; b. Bet. 1785 – 1787, probably Hanover, Mass.; d. about 1840, probably in New Hampshire. Zachariah was probably the man who graduated from Harvard, 1807. Several children born in Boston. DRAFT NOTES: See James Spear Loring's “Spear Family Record,” Register, Vol. 18, pages 158-161. Mr. Loring identifies the younger John Bray as "Major" and a selectman of Boston, his daughter as Sarah, who married a son of General John Winslow. Inhabitants and Estates of Boston 1630-1800, NEHGS CD -- Noted 1/24/2002. John Bray was a Boston cooper; in 1788 in the Artillery Company, 1790 Third Sergeant, 1793 Ensign, 1798 Lieutenant Held Town Office. On Oct. 23, 1789 John Bray bought a wharf, warehouse and Cooper's shop from Nathan Spear, Jr. "merchant." This is probably his first cousin (b. about 1755), q. v. This debt seems to have been cancelled or paid off May 17, 1796.

(GERSHOM5, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born April 16, 1784 in Massachusetts, and died July 3, 1851 in Brooks, Waldo County, Maine.

DRAFT NOTES: History and Genealogy of the Families of Chesterfield, Massachusetts, 1762-1962, Town of Chesterfield, 1962, pp.199- 202: “John House was a blacksmith and farmer, noted for his strength. “In 1955, Rev. Edward Williams, Canon of Albany, N. Y., sent for our Chesterfield records, a copy of a transcript of the Family Bible of John House and Lydia Rhodes from which the following was copied: ‘The Bible from which these records were copied was doubtless the wedding gift of John House, 3rd, when he was married to Lydia Rhodes in 1800. They were of Chesterfield, Mass., where they resided at least as late as October 1823, when two of their daughters were admitted to the Church. Perhaps the next year the family removed, settling at Thomson, O., in the Western Reserve. The Bible passed to the only son, John House, 4th, who married a Jane Electa Moseley, who had been born at Peru, Mass., but whose family had moved first to Mentor, O., then to Thomson. . . ‘[The Bible]. . . had narrowly escaped destruction, for in the 1820s, when its original owner was traveling as a pioneer to the Western Reserve in two Conestoga wagons, they were following the shore line of Lake Erie when a sudden and severe lake storm came up. The waters rose so fast that only one of the wagons, which were drawn by oxen, containing the family, and a few of the most necessary household items, was saved.’ " 149. GERSHOM6 HOUSE (JANE5 COLLIER, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born May 21, 1777 in Hanover, Massachusetts, and died November 29, 1838 in Chesterfield, Massachusetts.

LYMAN ROOT, June 1, 1837; b.Westfield about 1813; d. there January 15, 1896. viii. MARIA HOUSE, m. UNKNOWN COOK. This was possibly the Henry C. and Maria Cook family which had a daughter Theresa Maria in New Marlboro, Berkshire County, Mass. in 1844. They were in Mackinac County, Michigan by 1850, and in Rockford County, Illinois in 1860. There were 4 children in the family in 1860. I cannot confirm the origins of this couple, however. 476. ix. AMELIA HOUSE, b. Abt. 1823; d. aft. 1880; m. CHARLES A. CUSHING, May 14, 1850, Springfield, Hampden, Mass.; b.

ANNA6 HOUSE (JANE5 COLLIER, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born October 8, 1781 in Hanover, Massachusetts, and died January 3, 1840, possibly in Chesterfield, Massachusetts. She married DAVID DAY BONNEY Aft. January 30, 1808 in Chesterfield. He was born October 26, 1772. Children of ANNA HOUSE and DAVID BONNEY, all probably born in Chesterfield, are: i.

Abt. 1815, possibly Belchertown, Massachusetts. This couple not certainly traced after marriage. iii. LUCINDA BONNEY, b. September 4, 1818. No later record found. DRAFT NOTES: (Anna House is called "Nancy" in several records.) David Day Bonney had been previously married and had children by his first wife, at least some of whom stayed in Chesterfield. David was probably a farmer, but I have found no record of his occupation, nor any record at all after the 1840 census of Chesterfield. 151.

Record of his death indicates he was married, but I have not located name of wife nor found a record of children. In 1860 Andrew was a farmer, living in household of his father in South Scituate. DRAFT NOTES: Demmick – sometimes rendered “Dimmick” – appears to have been a farmer in Scituate or South Scituate all his life. South Scituate is now the town of Norwell. 153.

Abt. 1814, possibly Abington, Plymouth County, Mass.; d. Aft. 1870. DRAFT NOTES: Hingham Hist. III: 301-302 and others. This gives dates for Perez, and two marriages. (Sometime after Aril 1823 he m (2) Sarah Simmons.)All children were by Mary Bowker.Surname sometimes given as "Witon," Wyton," or "Whiting." He was a carpenter who lived at Liberty Plain, South Hingham. Possibly early in career worked on Beacon Hill, Boston. The marriage of Perez and Mary is recorded in Boston, and he is possibly the individual listed there in the 1810 census. From at least 1800 to 1810 a Perez “Whiting” is listed in Boston directories as a housewright in Belknap and Hancock Streets Beacon Hill. This was the same period in which Gershom Collier “of Boston and Chesterfield” (see # 157, below) was living in that area. 157. GERSHOM6 COLLIER (EPHRAIM BOSWORTH5, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1771, probably in or near Boston, and died April 16, 1819 in Chesterfield, Massachusetts. He married MARY KITTELL June 16, 1793 in Boston, probably daughter of JOHN KETTELL and KATHARINE SOUTHER. She was probably born May 17, 1769 in Charlestown, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and died December 4, 1837 in Chesterfield. Children of GERSHOM COLLIER and MARY KITTELL, the first seven all probably born in Boston, are: i. MARY ANN7 COLLIER, b. Abt. 1795; d. March 4, 1851, Chesterfield; m. JOSEPH WETHERELL, August 15, 1818, Chesterfield; b. February 1783, Chesterfield; d. there April 20, 1861. Mary Ann was the 2d of 3 wives of Joseph Wetherell. They had no children. 502. ii. ELIZABETH COLLIER, b. 1796, d. 1871, probably Sparta, Monroe County, Wisconsin; m. LUTHER TORREY, Abt. 1814; b. Abt. January 1793, Chesterfield; d. August 14, 1865, Florida, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. iii. THOMAS COLLIER, b. Abt. 1798, d. Aft. August 2, 1860, possibly in or near Mount Pleasant, Wayne County, Pennsylvania; m. LODEMA HAWKINS, Aft. September 13, 1818, Chesterfield; b. Abt. 1789, Massachusetts; probably d. Bet 1850 - 1860, possibly in or near Mount Pleasant. I have found no record of Thomas and Lodema (also given as “Lodemia”) from 1818 to 1850, so cannot determine whether they had children. In 1850 Pennsylvania they were near neighbors of Samuel Hawkins, Lodema’s brother. Thomas “Collin,” farmer, with two unidentified children not shown in the 1850 census, is in the same area of Mt. Pleasant in the 1860 census, Lodemia not shown. I have not been able to trace any of these individuals after the 1860 census. Samuel Hawkins and his wife, Melintha White, were in Pennsylvania not long after 1830, so perhaps Thomas and Lodemia Collier also left Chesterfield about that time. 503. iv. JANE COLLIER, b. Abt. 1799; d. August 18, 1847, Chesterfield; m. JASON DAMON, SR., Aft. February 7, 1815, Chesterfield; b. August 5, 1795, Chesterfield; d. there November 15, 1868. 504. v. JOHN COLLIER, b. August 14, 1802, d. May 7, 1882, Newark Township, Gratiot County, Michigan; m. (1) MARY SAMSON, December 5, 1822, Chesterfield; b. February 10, 1804, Norwich (now Huntington), Hampshire County, Massachusetts; d. April 30, 1850, Mantua, Portage County, Ohio; m. (2) SARAH A. (UNKNOWN ) DAYTON, probably a widow, November 20, 1851, Burton, Geauga County, Ohio; b. Abt. 1809, Ohio; probably d. Bet. 1860 - 1880, Ohio or Michigan. John and Mary (Samson) Collier were the g-g-grandparents of the compiler and editor of this work. 505. vi. WILLIAM COLLIER, b. Abt. June 30, 1804; d. October 29, 1885, West Chesterfield, Massachusetts; m. (1) PARNEL SHAW, Aft. October 3, 1823, Chesterfield; b. August 18, 1805, probably Westhampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts; d.

March 1846, in or near Springfield, Hampden County, Mass.; m. JOEL PELTON, Chesterfield; b. Abt. March 1803, possibly in Springfield, Otsego County, New York; d. September 27, 1844, Chicopee Falls, Hampden County, Mass.. 507. viii. PRISCILLA COLLIER, b. April 26, 1807, Chesterfield; d. March 27, 1846, in or near Chicopee, Hampden County, Massachusetts; m. DORUS VINTON, May 25, 1825, Chesterfield; b. February 19, 1804, Chesterfield; d. May 11, 1844, Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, New York. 508. ix. JAMES MADISON COLLIER, b. July 9, 1809, Chesterfield; d. February 11, 1897, probably in West Swanzey, Cheshire County, New Hampshire; m. (1) DORINDA DRURY, March 2, 1835; b. January 19, 1814, probably Wendell, Franklin County, Massachusetts; d. Aft. June 5, 1880, possibly Rhode Island; m. (2) MEHITA B. BULLOCK, Bet. July 29, 1870 - 1880; b. January 28, 1817, Richmond, Cheshire County, New Hampshire; d. August 30, 1905, Westmoreland, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. DRAFT NOTES: Since publication of Volume One of the Collier Genealogy, in which I spoke of the uncertainty of identifying the father of # 157, more indirect evidence suggests that man was “Gershom Collier of Northport,” # 51. The main piece of evidence is that since at least 1884, tradition in the Chesterfield family has held that Gershom Collier was at the Boston Tea Party. On p. 144 of The History of Goshen. . ., 1881, the same statement is made: “Gershom C. Damon was grandson of Gershom Collier of Chesterfield, one of the party who threw the tea overboard in Boston harbor.” That individual cannot have been “Gershom of Chesterfield,” and must then have been “Gershom of Northport,” who was the only Gershom Collier of Massachusetts of the right age to be at the Tea Party, which took place December 16, 1773. The only Federal Census in which “Gershom of Chester- field” appears, that of 1810, indicates that he and his wife were both born between 1766 and 1784, so he was clearly too young to be at the Tea Party. His mother must have been an earlier first wife of # 51, perhaps the Hannah Morton who published her intention to marry “Southworth” Collier in Boston, April 13, 1774. If this can be proven to be the case, it would slam the door on the possibility that the Chesterfield man could have been at a 1773 event.) I retain the genealogy numbering system as I had it in Vol. One. See pp. 83-86 and 94-95 there for further discussion of this question. Boston archives do not record a birth date for Gershom Collier “of Boston and Chesterfield.” He was a Beacon Hill housewright at least from 1796 until about 1805, his business centered on Beacon Hill, then the booming area of the town. About 1795-97 he built and lived in a small, still existing, house at the rear of what is now Joy Court. About 1805 he sold this property and moved to Chesterfield, Mass., where other “Collier” families had been living for at least 20 years. In Chesterfield he operated a mill near the current Bisbee Mills until his early death. Mary Kittell (various spellings of surname) was probably a member of a Charlestown family which had been in Massachusetts since 1633, but I have not found documentary proof of this. 158. ANNA6 COLLIER (EPHRAIM BOSWORTH5, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1773, probably in Boston, Massachusetts, and died September 7, 1847 in Lafayette, Onondaga County, New York. She married ORANGE KING Aft. April 28, 1793 in Chesterfield, Massachusetts, son of PAUL KING and MARY ALEXANDER. He was born August 20, 1767 in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, and probably died Aft. 1850, in or near Onondaga, Onondaga County, New York. Children of ANNA COLLIER and ORANGE KING are: 509. i. HARRIET7 KING, b. September 7, 1798, probably in Chesterfield; d. May 22, 1891, Gerry, Chautauqua County, New York; m. HENRY WARNER, February 19, 1818, probably Onondaga County, New York; b. June 27, 1795, possibly Charlestown, Mass.; d. January 1, 1844, Gerry, New York. ii. REBECCA KING, b. Abt. 1801, New York; d. Bef. August 11, 1888, Onondaga County, New York; m. SYLVANUS ACKLES, Bef. 1850; b. 1799, possibly Sullivan County, New York; d. April 6, 1877, Lafayette, New York. No record of children. iii. RENSSELAER KING, b. Abt. 1802, Pompey West Hill (later Lafayette), New York; d. there December 11, 1825. 510. iv. BOSWORTH C. KING, b. Abt. 1805, New York; d. January 1, 1866, Onondaga, New York; m. (1) HARRIET SNOW; b. October 28, 1809, New York; d. July 27, 1854, probably Onondaga, New York; m. (2) JULIA A. UNKNOWN, Bet. 1854 - 1860; b. New York. 511. v. SOPHIA KING, b. Abt. 1810, Pompey West Hill (later Lafayette), New York; d. Abt. January 17, 1890, Salt Lake City, Utah; m. WILLIAM J. COOK, M. D., 1832, Lafayette; b. April 24, 1810, Lafayette; d. there June 2, 1862. vi. POLLY KING, b. September 9, 1812, Pompey West Hill (later Lafayette), New York; d. there May 20, 1882; m. JEREMIAH NEWHOUSE, Abt. 1832; b. Abt. 1821, Canada; d. Aft. 1880, probably Lafayette. (Census reports of Jeremiah’s age are very inconsistent.) No record of children. DRAFT NOTES: The orphaned Anna and her sister Rebecca were wards of Thomas James and his wife, Susanna5 Collier (# 71, Volume One), living in Chesterfield from 1788 until their marriages. Orange King was a member of an old Northampton, Massachusetts family. About 1800 – 1801 he and Anna, with several other Hampshire County families, moved to the greener pastures of Onondaga County, New York. In what was first called Pompey West Hill, but now the town of Lafayette, Orange built and operated a tavern. He also farmed, as did at least two brothers who settled in Lafayette.. 159. REBECCA6 COLLIER (EPHRAIM BOSWORTH5, THOMAS4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was probably born Abt. 1774 in Boston, Massachusetts, and died Aft. 1820, probably in Chautauqua County, New York. She married JAMES BATES, JR. January 12, 1792 in Chesterfield, Massachusetts, son of JAMES BATES and ABIGAIL LITCHFIELD. He was probably born August 9, 1767 in Hingham, Massachusetts (2d Precinct), and died Aft. November 20, 1850, probably in Chautauqua County, New York or Pennsylvania. Children of REBECCA COLLIER and JAMES BATES are: i. ANNA7 BATES, b. November 28, 1792, Chesterfield; m. UNKNOWN BURROUGHS. An old “Bates” family tradition says she had “no sons,” and eventually settled in Michigan. She could be the Anna Burroughs, b. about 1793, Massachusetts, husband James, a farmer, who was living in Covington, Wyoming County, New York in 1860. No death record found in Michigan 1867 – 1897. ii. ALPHEOUS BATES, b. Bef. August 4, 1795, Chesterfield; d. there August 4, 1795. iii. CALVIN BATES, b. February 28, 1797, Chesterfield; d. Abt. 1813, probably Onondaga County, New York. iv. RELIEF BATES, b. January 11, 1799, Chesterfield; possibly d. Michigan ; m. UNKNOWN ROBBINS. She could be the widow Relief “Robins,” born ca. 1797, “New York,” who was living with a daughter or granddaughter in Duplain, Clinton County, Michigan at the 1880 census. No death record found in Michigan 1867 – 1897. 512. v. JAMES BATES, b. April 9, 1801, Chesterfield; d. December 12, 1891, New York; m. SALLIE GROVER, July 19, 1824, Ellington, Chautauqua County, New York; b. September 21, 1806, New York; d. March 4, 1870, New York. 513. vi. EUNICE BATES, b. September 10, 1803, probably Pompey West Hill (later Lafayette), Onondaga County New York; d. July 23, 1893, possibly Arkansas; m. ALVAH HADLEY, January 24, 1821; b. February 6, 1796, Tunbridge, Vermont; d. May 13, 1856. 514. vii. ALPHEUS BATES, b. April 9, 1806, Pompey West Hill (later Lafayette), New York; d. August 18, 1872, McKean, Erie County, Pennsylvania; m. WEALTHY HOWARD, April 5, 1831, Warren, Warren County, Pennsylvania; b. October 30, 1806, Hartford, Connecticut; d. July 11, 1890, probably Erie County, Pennsylvania. . DRAFT NOTES: (Qualify/explain the Pompey West Hill/Lafayette NY information.) The orphaned Rebecca and her sister Anna were wards of Thomas James and his wife, Susanna5 Collier (# 71, Volume One), living in Chesterfield from 1788 until their marriages. James and Rebecca (Collier) Bates followed the King family by a few years in moving to Pompey West Hill, New York. They were perhaps there by 1803, as the last two Bates children are not recorded in Chesterfield. In 1809 Rebecca was one of the founding members of the Congregational Church of (now) LaFayette. At the 1810 census, James Bates and Orange King were living next to each other. In the spring of 1815 James Bates and his family moved further west, to the town of Ellington, in Chautauqua County, New York. James was probably a farmer wherever he lived, but in Ellington he also kept the first tavern. By 1820 the family was listed in the town of Gerry, just west of Ellington. Rebecca is reflected in the census of 1820 (then in Gerry, Chautauqua County, from which Ellington was split in 1824) but not certainly seen thereafter. James is seen in McKean Twp, Erie, Pennsylvania in the family of son Alpheus Bates in 1850, but not thereafter. The date and place of death and burial is unknown for both. 160. LUCY6 DOANE (JOHN5, JANE4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1756 in Scituate, Massachusetts, and died there 1814. She married JOSIAH DAMON January 7, 1779 in Scituate, son of JOSIAH DAMON and LEAH BRIGGS. He was born Bef. June 20, 1756 in Scituate, and died there Abt. July 28, 1830. Children of LUCY DOANE and JOSIAH DAMON, all born Scituate, are: 515. i. HENRY7 DAMON, CAPTAIN, b. April 14, 1780.; d. October 11, 1860, Scituate; m. (1) ELEANOR CURTIS, November 14, 1802, Scituate; b. Abt. October 26, 1783; d. January 2, 1804, Scituate; m. (2) ANNA COOK, November 28, 1805, Scituate; b.

See # 518, below, Captain Doane Damon, and # 191, Sarah Damon.) iii. NANCY DAMON, b. February 26, 1785, Scituate, Mass.; m. JAMES KNIGHTS, March 5, 1807; b. Abt. 1782. James (Called “Jonas” in the Intention, Scituate VRs) was “of Boston” at marriage. No later record found. 517. iv. JOSIAH DAMON, JR., b. July 7, 1788; d. April 11, 1852, Scituate, Mass.; m. (1) ELIZABETH CUDWORTH, August 1, 1813, Scituate; b. May 16, 1788, Scituate; d. July 14, 1814, Scituate; m. (2) THIRZA CUDWORTH, July 5, 1815, Scituate; b. July 23, 1795, Scituate; d.

Probably died young, but no record found. 518. vi. DOANE DAMON, CAPTAIN, b. February 14, 1792; lost at sea abt. December 16, 1825; m. SARAH DAMON, October 15, 1815, Scituate; b. September 14, 1789, Scituate; d. there January 25, 1876. (Sarah/”Sally” Damon is # 191 in this genealogy. Doane and Sarah were first cousins in the Damon lineage. Their common grandparents were Josiah Damon and Leah Briggs. 519. vii. JANE DAMON, b. September 9, 1793; d. March 23, 1834, Scituate; m. (1) GEORGE ANDERSON, October 15, 1812, Scituate; b.

MELZAR LITCHFIELD, February 5, 1818, Scituate; b. July 11, 1798, Littleton, Middlesex County, Mass.; d. August 2, 1831, Scituate. 522. x. JAMES DAMON, CAPTAIN, b. December 13, 1801; d. Abt. 1845; m. SARAH MERRITT, July 30, 1826; b. August 22, 1805; d. there September 30, 1896. . DRAFT NOTES: The names, dates and places of the Lucy Doane and Josiah Damon family are wonderfully complete, but I have found nothing on the occupation of Josiah. At least three of the sons were sea captains, so it is possible that Josiah was a mariner. 161. FANNY6 DOANE (JOHN5, JANE4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1758, and died Aft. July 26, 1802. She married BENJAMIN STEVENS December 18, 1775 in Scituate, Mass. He died Bef. July 26, 1802. Children of FANNY DOANE and BENJAMIN STEVENS, probably all born Boston, are: i. JOHN DOANE7 STEVENS, b. Bef. August 30, 1780; d. Bef. October 24, 1790, Boston. ii. JAMES DOANE STEVENS, b. Bef. April 12, 1781. iii. BENJAMIN STEVENS, b. Bef. April 12, 1781. iv. SALLY STEVENS, b.

JOHN DOANE STEVENS, b. Abt. July 1795; d. Bef. September 24, 1795, Boston. DRAFT NOTES: There were possibly three separate Benjamin Stevens in Boston during the period 1789 – 1800: a tailor, a merchant and a laborer. I cannot judge which one might have been “our” Benjamin, although we can perhaps omit the laborer. The Willcox’s ("Double Davenports," "Register," 158:14) feel he may have been the “'Mr. Benjamin Stevens Taylor' who was bur. Trinity Church, Boston, 5 Feb. 1797 age 46. . . “ 162. JOHN6 DOANE, CAPTAIN (JOHN5, JANE4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born November 6, 1765 in Scituate, and died there January 21, 1805. He married LUCY STUDLEY LITCHFIELD December 22, 1784 in Scituate, daughter of JOSIAH LITCHFIELD and ABIGAIL STUDLEY. She was born April 20, 1761 in Scituate, and died there February 12, 1839. Children of JOHN DOANE and LUCY LITCHFIELD, all born Scituate, are: 524. i. NANCY7 DOANE, b. May 27, 1787; d. Rye, New Hampshire; m. (1) UNKNOWN RAND; possibly b. Rye, New Hampshire; m.

NANCY6 DOANE (JOHN5, JANE4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1767 in Scituate, Mass., and died Aft. July 26, 1802. She married DANIEL HAYDEN November 24, 1783 in Scituate, son of EZEKIEL HAYDEN and ELIZABETH LINCOLN. He was born November 9, 1763, and died Aft. July 26, 1802. Child of NANCY DOANE and DANIEL HAYDEN is: i. JOSHUA7 HAYDEN, b. July 1790, Scituate. No later record found.. DRAFT NOTES: Unconfirmed online postings suggest Daniel Hayden served in a Rhode Island regiment during the Revolution, and died in Leominster, Massachusetts in 1823. I have not found a record of his occupation. 164. JANE6 DOANE (JOHN5, JANE4 COLLIER, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1768, and died June 9, 1787 in Cohasset, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.

U., 1805; counsellor at law..." After his death in 1830, the “Boston Tax List of 1831” had listings of several valuable properties held by his heirs. From the Massachusetts Historical Society cataloging of “David Stoddard Greenough Family Papers 1631-1859”: David Stoddard Greenough (David S. Greenough I, 1752-1826), lawyer and merchant, was the son of Thomas and Sarah (Stoddard) Greenough. In 1784 he married Anne Doane (1744-1802), daughter of John and June [sic] (Collier) Doane, widow of Elisha Doane, and mother of John Doane. After the Revolution, they moved to the former Loring house in Jamaica Plain (Roxbury), Mass. Their only child was David Stoddard Greenough, Jr. (David S. Greenough II, 1787-1830). An ardent patriot, David S. Greenough I was a member of the "Sons of Liberty," and on the Committee of Public Safety under George Washington. He served the state of Massachusetts as a justice of the peace in both Norfolk and Suffolk counties. From his mother Sarah (Stoddard), he inherited one-sixth of Noddles Island. With his brother William, he exchanged a share of a Chelsea farm for another two-sixths of Noddles Island, thus increasing his share of the island to one-half. David Stoddard Greenough, Jr. (David S. Greenough II) (1787-1830) was the son of David S. Greenough I and Anne (Doane). A member of the Harvard College class of 1805, he practiced law, served as a justice of the peace in Massachusetts, and was lieutenant colonel of the Boston Independent Cadets. In 1813 he married Maria Foster Doane (1793-1843), daughter of Elisha and Jane (Cutler) Doane of Wellfleet and Cohasset. They resided in Jamaica Plain (Roxbury) and had five children: David Stoddard (David S. Greenough III, 1814-1877), John (d. 1846), Anne, James, and Jane (d. 1847). David S. Greenough II was the heir of one-half of Noddles Island. Upon his death, the land was sold to William Hyslop Sumner, who later sold it to the East Boston Co. After the early death of D. S. Greenough II, his widow married, as his 2d wife, General William Hyslop Sumner, who was, among other accomplishments, a major developer of East Boston. In the 20th century his name was given to the first Boston Harbor tunnel. 166.

In 1860, he and Lucy are living across the New York state line, in Hampton, Washington County. John is now a shoemaker, with $2,500 in real estate. Son Fonrose is living with them, a farmer. (Hampton, Washington County, New York is most definitely not the summer retreat of the rich and famous which we associate with “The Hamptons.” It is a rural town just west of the Vermont state line.) 167.

At the 1850 census of New Vineyard, the widow Reliance (Collier) Thomas was living with son Benson, aged 21, a farmer reporting that he possessed $1,200 in real estate. With the exception of two clergymen, all the people in the neighborhood were either farmers or laborers. 169.

DRAFT NOTES: In the 1850 census of Freeman, Maine, Abner is a farmer reporting only $200 of real estate. I have not located the family in the 1860 census, but they were probably in or near Freeman.

She married NATHANIEL BOYNTON March 19, 1822 in Groton, Mass., son of NATHANIEL BOYNTON and ANNA BARRETT. He was born September 14, 1795 in Mason, New Hampshire, and died April 25, 1878 in Randolph, Orange County, Vermont. Children of ELIZA LAWRENCE and NATHANIEL BOYNTON are: 554. i. NATHANIEL AUGUSTUS7 BOYNTON, b. July 12, 1823, possibly New Hampshire; d. Abt. 1900, New York City; m. (1) ASENATH BLISS, September 3, 1845, Leominster, Worcester County, Mass.; b.

DRAFT NOTES: In the 1850 census of Shirley, Nathaniel was a farmer with $3,300 in real estate. In the 1860 census there he had $1,000 in real estate and $100 cash. I don’t certainly see Nathaniel and Eliza in the 1870 census, unless he is the individual in Concord, New Hampshire in that year. Eliza is not listed there. In 1870 daughter Mary Ann (Boynton) Nutting and her husband were in Randolph, Vermont, but Nathaniel and Eliza were not yet with them. 176.

Reportedly the manager of the Rockefeller Estate, Tarrytown, New York. DRAFT NOTES: Daniel Hemmenway was a farmer during his years in Florida, Massachusetts, then moved to Ohio between 1834 - 1837. In the 1850 census of New London, Ohio, listed as “Dan’l Hemmingway,” he was a farmer with $3,500 in real estate, the highest value listed on his page. In this 1850 census, with the 4 youngest children still living at home, Nancy is listed as 16 – born about 1834 in Massachusetts – while Collier is the youngest, 12, born in Ohio. In the 1860 census, listed as “Dan’l Heminway,” he is a carpenter, no real estate value listed. 177. SUMNER6 HEMMENWAY (HANNAH5 COLLIER, JONATHAN4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1804 in Massachusetts, and died November 24, 1888, possibly in Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo County, Michigan. He married (1) CLARINDA KEMP November 1826 in Florida, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, daughter of NOLTON KEMP and POLLY HARTWELL. She was born August 27, 1807, possibly in Florida, and died Bet. 1833 - September 1848. He married (2) LUCRETIA WHITNEY September 3, 1848 in Adams, Berkshire County, Mass., daughter of LEVI WHITNEY and SALLY METCALF.

DRAFT NOTES: Sumner Hemmenway was a farmer in both Massachusetts and Michigan. He possibly stopped briefly in northern Ohio in the 1830s, before moving on to Michigan. Note that he returned to Berkshire County, Mass. to marry his 2d wife. SOME CONFUSION IN THE NAME AND DETAILS OF SUMNER’S 3D WIFE. 178. JONATHAN6 HEMMENWAY (HANNAH5 COLLIER, JONATHAN4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born December 5, 1815 in Florida, Massachusetts, and died September 23, 1864 in Adams, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.

Father Daniel Hemmenway was living nearby. Bennington County is just north of Berkshire County, Mass. In 1860 he was farming back in Adams, Berkshire County and he died there in 1864. I have not yet found a death record for Lucretia (Brooks) Hemmenway. . 179. WILLIAM6 COLLIER, REV. (ISAAC5, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born October 11, 1771 in Scituate, Massachusetts, and died March 19, 1843 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Source: Harvard University Quinquennial Catalougue of the Officers and Graduates 1636 - 1930, p. 235. No record of marriage located. DRAFT NOTES: A graduate of the College of Rhode Island, now Brown University, Rev. William Collier was a Baptist minister in New York City and Charlestown, Mass. From online Apple- ton’s Encyclopedia, 2001 edition: “. . . He learned the carpenter's trade, but decided to become a minister, entered Brown University, and was graduated in 1797. He studied theology with Dr. Maxcy, president of the College, was licensed in 1798, ordained in Boston, 11 July, 1799, preached one year in Newport, Rhode Island, was pastor in New York City in 1800-'4, then in Charlestown, Massachusetts, till 1820, when his health failed and he removed to Boston and became a minister-at-large. He was active in the City mission and kindred enterprises, and was a pioneer in the temperance movement, beginning in 1826 the publication of a weekly temperance paper, called the "National Philanthropist," which was continued for two years. He also edited "The Baptist Preacher," a monthly publication containing sermons by living ministers, begun in 1827, prepared editions of Saurin and Andrew Fuller, and compiled a hymn-book.” After his retirement from the active ministry, from at least 1829 on, Rev. Collier operated a boarding house at 30 Federal Street, Boston. Among the residents over the years were John Greenleaf Whittier and William Lloyd Garrison. Rev. Collier was active in both the temperance and abolitionist movements 180. ISAAC6 COLLIER, JR. (ISAAC5, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born May 29, 1773 in Scituate, Massachusetts, and died December 16, 1840 in Scituate or Boston, Massachusetts. He married BETSEY HAYDEN March 27, 1793 in Scituate, Massachusetts. She was born Abt. 1764, and died August 16, 1840 in Scituate, Massachusetts. Children of ISAAC COLLIER and BETSEY HAYDEN, all except possibly the last born in Scituate, are: 565. i. JOSEPH HAYDEN7 COLLIER, b. April 16, 1798; d. September 30, 1863, Boston, Massachusetts; m.

Isaac may have lived or worked in Boston for some of his life. There is an Isaac Collier, rope-maker, on Pleasant Street, Boston, in 1821, 1822 and 1827, but I cannot confirm that he is our Scituate man. (There were Isaac Colliers from unrelated families of Salem and Marblehead, Essex County, Mass.) In the 1830 Boston Directory perhaps the same man is a ”block maker, shipbuilding,” at 148 Rear Pleasant Street. 181.

DRAFT NOTES: “COHASSET'S DEEP SEA CAPTAINS,” By EDMUND POMEROY COLLIER. From Genealogies of the Families of Cohasset, Davenport and Davenport, Comm. of Town history, 1909, “JAMES COLLIER, born at North Scituate in 1775, died there in 1850. He married Sally Lincoln of Cohasset, a daughter of Allan Lincoln, who was captured on board his vessel by the English during the Revolution and died in an English prison. Her mother was Persis Tower, who, after her husband's death, is said to have sailed a schooner to Gloucester, to obtain supplies for the inhabitants of Cohasset cut off by the English blockade. After the Revolution she married Captain James Hall, one of Washington's staff officers, and thus became the ancestress of two lines of sailors. “In the year 1803 he was owner and captain of the Light Horse. At the age Of 3r, in the year 1806, he was captain of the ship William Tell of Scituate, a vessel Of 258 tons. Possibly on this voyage he visited Antwerp, for his picture, painted in that city at about that time, is still in the possession of his grand-children. Later he bought the wharf in Cohasset formerly owned by Luther Stephenson and others, and became a vessel owner, as well as master, for in 1814 the schooner Little Sarah is registered at the Boston Custom House with James Collier as builder, owner and master. In 1821 he is again registered as her captain, and in 1824 of the Young James. All these, as well as the Elizabeth, built in 1829, were named for his children. “Although his living came from the sea, he wished that his sons might not be obliged to follow it, and gave four of them trades, which they promptly put one side and proceeded to enroll themselves in the ranks of Cohasset's sailors.” (Pages 11 and 12 of 1984 reprint.) When Captain Collier returned to live in Scituate for what proved to be the last 5 years of his life, he may not have lived in the Briggs-Collier House on the coast of North Scituate, where he was probably born. Per the Scituate Historical Society, a house on Border St, North Scituate, was built by James Collier in 1850. (ATTACH PHOTO, CHECK SOURCES, EXACT ADDRESS PER GARY BANKS, 2007) 182. MOSES6 COLLIER (ISAAC5, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born August 29, 1777 in Scituate, and died May 1826 in Minot, Cumberland County, Maine. He married (1) RACHEL CURTIS December 21, 1800 in Scituate, daughter of SAMUEL CURTIS and RHODA VINAL. She was born January 28, 1774 in Scituate, and died April 23, 1814 in Minot. He married (2) LUCY CURTIS January 22, 1815 in Minot, sister of his first wife. She was born June 23, 1783 in Scituate, and died Aft. 1830. Children of MOSES COLLIER and RACHEL CURTIS are: i. RACHEL CURTIS7 COLLIER, b. September 24, 1801, Scituate. 573. ii. MOSES COLLIER, b. November 8, 1803, Scituate; d. Bef. 1850, probably Maine; m. CLARISSA BERRY, June 24, 1827, Minot, Maine; b. Abt. 1801, Maine; d. Aft. 1850. iii. COPELINA COLLIER, b. February 1806, Minot, Maine; d. there March 24, 1806. iv. JANE ABBY COLLIER, b. November 20, 1808, Minot. v. TRU HOMER COLLIER, b. January 1810, Minot. vi. PELEG COLLIER, b. April 23, 1814, Minot; d. Aft. 1840. Children of MOSES COLLIER and LUCY CURTIS, all born in Minot, are: vii. ELIZA ANN7 COLLIER, b. October 25, 1815. viii. MARY COLLIER, b. February 5, 1818. ix. JUDITH COLLIER, b. March 24, 1815. x. CYNTHIA TOMSON COLLIER, b. July 25, 1822. DRAFT NOTES: Except for Vital Records of Scituate and Minot, little information is available for this family. Thanks go to Daniel Jenkins for identifying the Minot, Maine family as that originating in Scituate. Moses and Rachel Collier appear to have left Scituate for Maine between 1803 and 1806. I suspect that Moses was a farmer, the occupation of a grandson in Maine in 1860 and 1870, but I have no hard data about his occupation. In the June 6, 1826 issue of the Eastern Argus of Portland, Maine, is the following item about the death of Moses Collier, presumably the individual b. Scituate in 1777, although no age or name of spouse is given: "In Minot [no date given - probably late May 1826], Mr. Moses Collier [died]. In a state of mental derangement, he committed suicide by cutting his own throat, and was found in the woods, a short distance from his house, which he left about two hours previous." 183. PELEG6 COLLIER, CAPTAIN (ISAAC5, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born March 2, 1784 in Scituate, Massachusetts. He married LUCY VINAL September 10, 1807 in Scituate. She was born October 12, 1784 in Scituate, and died there September 4, 1847. Children of PELEG COLLIER and LUCY VINAL, all born in Scituate, are: 574. i. LUCY VINAL7 COLLIER, b. July 25, 1808; d. March 15, 1892, Medford, Mass.; m. LEMUEL WEBB, CAPTAIN, December 1, 1828, Scituate; b. September 18, 1798, Scituate; d. there March 16, 1862. 575. ii. PELEG HAYDEN COLLIER, b. September 9, 1809; lost at sea. March 1843; m. MARY MANN, October 31, 1830, Scituate; b. Scituate about 1808; d. there May 17, 1896 as widow of Bela Brown, whom she married in 1870. 576. iii. MERCY VINAL COLLIER, b. February 9, 1811; d. 1881, Scituate, Mass.; m. JOSEPH BATES, CAPTAIN, July 7, 1831, Scituate; b. September 30, 1800, Provincetown, Mass.; d. March 16, 1848, Scituate. DRAFT NOTES: I do not find a record of Captain Peleg's death. He was no doubt a sea captain, and I suspect that he died no later than the mid-1820s. Scituate VRs, Vol. II, page 72, has the marriage of a Mrs. Lucy Collier, otherwise unidentified, to Luther Jenkins, on Novem- ber 2, 1828. She died in Scituate in 1847, then the wife of Captain Luther Jenkins. I believe Peleg Collier or some of his descendants lived in the southern part of Scituate, where there is a Collier Road near the area called Third Cliff. This is some distance from Collier Avenue in North Scituate. 184. ELISHA HAYDEN6 COLLIER (ISAAC5, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born July 8, 1788 in Scituate, and died January 23, 1856 in Boston, Massachusetts. He married MARY BADEN November 8, 1812 in Boston. She was born Abt. 1794 in Massachusetts, and died Aft. 1860, possibly in Boston. Children of ELISHA COLLIER and MARY BADEN are: i. MARY ABBY7 COLLIER, b. Abt. January 1815, probably Boston; d. there July 7, 1816. ii. MARY COLLIER, b. Abt. September 1817; d. March 6, 1818, Boston.. iii. JULIA A. COLLIER, b. Abt. 1821, Charlestown, Mass.; d. July 23, 1855, Boston, Mass. Unmarried. 577. iv. ELISHA HAYDEN COLLIER, b. Bet. 1820 - 1822, possibly Boston; d. Aft. 1870, possibly New York. Probably moved to Oneida County, New York by 1865 and married there AMELIA MEEKER, b. about 1840, New York, probably died in or near New Hartford, Oneida County, New York after 1910. v. ELLEN COLLIER, b. Abt. 1823, England; d. Aft. 1850. 578. vi. JOHN HOWARD COLLIER, b. Bet. 1829 - 1830, London, England; d. Bet. 1900 - 1910, possibly Boston, Mass.; m. ANNA FAULKNER, August 23, 1853, Boston, Mass.; b. 1830, Ireland; d. Aft. 1920, possibly Boston, Massachusetts. . vii. CHARLES WILLIAM COLLIER, b. November 1834, England; d. January 10, 1854, Boston, Mass.. DRAFT NOTES: Elisha Hayden Collier is acknowledged as one of the co-inventors of a successful flint- lock revolver, which Samuel Colt probably used as a basis for his earliest percussion cap weapons nearly 20 years later. In 1813, Elisha was a merchant, dealing in East Indies goods, in Broad St., Boston. In 1816 he was a grocer at 9 Codman's Wharf, with house in Purchase St., Boston. In 1818, Elisha is listed as a grocer in Boston. In 1818 his business was on Codman's Wharf, and home on Hamilton St. During these years he must also have been working on his inventions, and the “Collier revolver” was in production about 1818. Not later than 1823 Elisha and his family moved to London, where the British Army purchased as many as 40,000 of the revolvers for use in India. The family seems to have remained in or near London until the 1840s, when it returned to Boston. Elisha also worked on other mechanical designs, including at least one invention in the paper making field, and improvements to steam boilers. At the 1850 census of Boston and at his death in 1856 his occupation was given as “engineer.” (INCLUDE PAINTING OF THE COLLIER REVOLVER BY ROBERT WILLIAMS, FROM THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON.) 185.

DRAFT NOTES: “COHASSET'S DEEP SEA CAPTAINS,” By EDMUND POMEROY COLLIER. From Genealogies of the Families of Cohasset, Davenport and Davenport, Comm. of Town history, 1909, “CAPTAIN GEORGE HALL was the son of Persis (Tower) Lincoln and Captain James Hall, and was born in Cohasset in 1790, in the house on the Plain, now owned by Mrs. Nina E. Lincoln. In his younger days he made voyages to the Mediterranean. On one of these voyages his vessel was captured by pirates, who signified their intention of stripping the vessel arid setting it adrift. It seemed as if the captain and crew were about to face death by starvation in midwinter. Most opportunely it was discovered that Captain Hall and the captain of the pirate crew were masons. Immediately the aspect of affairs was changed, and Captain Hall was allowed to go on his way rejoicing, bringing his vessel safely into port. “In 1815 he was awarded a gold medal by the Massachusetts Humane Society for his bravery in assisting in the rescue of two sailors shipwrecked off Cohasset rocks. In 1818 he commanded the schooner Dille Sarah, and in 1821 the schooner Aforgiana. In 1828 he abandoned foreign voyages, and for many years sailed a packet between Cohasset and Boston. CHECK SPELLING OF SHIPS’ NAME. “He afterwards engaged in the fishing business with his brother, Abraham, having a wharf and store at Hominy Point, near where 11ow stands the Cohasset Yacht Club House. He married Cynthia Collier of Scituate (whose brother, Captain James Collier had married his half-sister, Sallie Lincoln), and built the house on Highland Avenue, still known as the old George Hall house, where he reared a family of sixteen children [sic – I am short one child in my list]. Some of his sons are well remembered today as sailors and shipbuilders. To him descended from his father, the Revolutionary officer, his member- ship in the Order of the Cincinnati. He died at Cohasset in 1854.” (Page 13, reprint of 1984.) 186. ABNER6 BRIGGS (SARAH5 COLLIER, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born November 14, 1795 in Cohasset, Massachusetts, and possibly died September 10, 1855. He married BETSY UNKNOWN.

April 5, 1841, probably Chesterfield. DRAFT NOTES: Chesterfield records state that Charles Cudworth was born Feb. 20, 1781 in Scituate, while the Scituate Vital Records indicate the date was March 17, 1780. The Cudworths were descended from General James Cudworth, who came to Scituate about 1632 and was variously Assistant in Plymouth, commander of Plymouth’s armed forces during King Philip’s War, and deputy governor. General Cudworth spent a few years in Barnstable, Cape Cod, but is chiefly identified with Scituate. Charles and Susanna must have removed from Scituate to Chesterfield shortly after their marriage. Charles was no doubt a farmer, as were several sons, but the Chesterfield his- tory says of him only, “He weighed 334 lbs., ‘largest man ever raised in Chesterfield.’ " After the death of Susanna (Briggs) Cudworth, Charles Cudworth remarried, and had an additional 3 children in Chesterfield by his 2d wife, Susanna Keith. Charles and Abiel Cudworth (see # 188) were brothers, so these two marriages were of brothers marrying sisters. 188. JOANNA6 BRIGGS (JUDITH5 COLLIER, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born October 29, 1784 in Scituate, Massachusetts, and died June 22, 1862 in Scituate or Chelsea, Massachusetts. She married ABIEL CUDWORTH, DEACON December 2, 1810 in Scituate, son of JOHN CUDWORTH and ELIZABETH CLAPP. He was born October 19, 1786 in Scituate, and died there on September 30, 1863. Children of JOANNA BRIGGS and ABIEL CUDWORTH, all except the 2d probably born Scituate, are: i. ABIEL7 CUDWORTH, b. August 1811, d. Abt. 1814. 593. ii. ABIEL CUDWORTH, JR., b. August 28, 1815, possibly Chelsea, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; d. July 14, 1842, Chelsea; m. LYDIA P. DODGE; d. 1888, Chelsea. iii. SAMUEL STILLMAN CUDWORTH, b. May 9, 1816; d. 1885, Scituate, m. ALMIRA JAMES, May 19, 1842, possibly Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; b. Abt. 1821, possibly Roxbury; d. 1893, Boston, Mass. No record of children found. iv. POLLY BRIGGS CUDWORTH, b. August 8, 1819. Unmarried, per Damon Family records. v. JOANNE CUDWORTH, b. November 20, 1821; d. March 2, 1841, Chelsea, Mass. Probably died unmarried. vi. JANE CUDWORTH, b. November 18, 1825; d. September 25, 1887, Scituate. Died unmarried. DRAFT NOTES: At the 1850 census of Scituate, Abiel Cudworth, aged 63, is listed as a shoemaker, with $1,800 in real estate. Daughter Jane was living with her parents in that year. At the 1860 census, listed then as in North Scituate, Abiel is a farmer, with $1,350 in real estate and $300 in cash. Jane remains with the parents. His 1863 death record also lists his occupation as farmer. Abiel and Charles Cudworth (see # 187) were brothers, so these two marriages were of brothers marrying sisters. 189. SOPHIA6 BRIGGS (JUDITH5 COLLIER, WILLIAM4, GERSHOM3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born April 24, 1791 in Scituate, Massachusetts, and died Aft. 1880.

DRAFT NOTES: Sarah Damon is called “Sally” in some records. (Doane Damon is # 518 in this genealogy, his mother Lucy Doane being # 160.) Doane and Sarah were first cousins in the Damon lineage. Their common grandparents were Josiah Damon and Leah Briggs. Doane Damon was a mariner, lost at sea at the age of 33. Doane was also a member of the Scituate Baptist Church. Tobias Cook was also a mariner, but he survived to die on dry land at the age of 72. Tobias Cook had previously been married to a sister of Doane Damon.

He was probably a farmer, as were all three sons in 1850. We do have the following from a Sutton genealogy: “ . . . [Zebulon’s] wife, Mary, removed to Penn. and died April 7, 1856. He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, and a soldier of the Revolution (see Stryker's "Officers and men of New Jersey," page 776). His descendants, by the line of his eldest son Nathan, live at Gardner, Grundy County, Ill.” (Check for full reference here, including date of publication.) Mary (Lewis) Sutton is probably the individual living alone near Mark Sutton, age 47, b. N. J. in Silver Lake Twp., Susquehanna County, Penn. at the 1850 census, taken Nov. 15, 1850. 196. JACOB6 SUTTON (RACHEL5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born October 12, 1773, possibly in Bedminster Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, and died December 27, 1853 in Hardyston, Sussex County, New Jersey. He married HANNAH RORICK March 18, 1797 in New Jersey, daughter of MICHAEL RORICK and LUCRETIA HARDIN. She was born April 21, 1777 in New Jersey, and died March 27, 1862 in Romeo, Macomb County, Michigan. Children of JACOB SUTTON and HANNAH RORICK are: 605. i. MICHAEL RORICK7 SUTTON, b.

DRAFT NOTES: At the 1850 census of Hardyston, New Jersey, Jacob and Hannah were living in a large household, perhaps headed by oldest son Michael. (The divisions between families on the page are very faint.) Michael was a farmer with $10,000 in real estate, a typical value on that census page. Jacob, listed as 76 years old, is a “laborer.” He no doubt was a farmer when younger. Jacob was also in Hardyston at the 1830 census. Son Michael R. Sutton moved his family to Michigan in 1856 and the widow Hannah went there also. In the 1860 census of Bruce, Macomb County, Michigan, Michael was a harness maker. 197. DANIEL6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1762 in Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey, and died November 3, 1823, possibly in Somerville or Bridgewater, Somerset County, New Jersey. He married ELIZABETH BUDD January 21, 1783 in Basking Ridge. She was born Bet. 1764 - 1765 in Basking Ridge, and died December 21, 1843 in Somerville or Basking Ridge. Children of DANIEL DOTY and ELIZABETH BUDD, all born in Basking Ridge, are: i. THOMAS BUDD7 DOTY, b. February 10, 1785; d. Abt. 1795, probably Basking Ridge.. ii. ELIJAH DOTY, b. August 7, 1786; d.

(2) UNKNOWN, possibly Logansport, Cass County, Indiana. Mr. Doty and his first wife divorced, she remaining in New Jersey, He is supposed to have removed to Indiana, remarried, and fathered at least two children there. I have not been able to locate confirming Indiana records. [NOTE] 618 ix. ELIZA ANNE DOTY, b. Abt. November 1806; d. Basking Ridge; m. HENRY WINNE, M. D.; b.

DRAFT NOTES: See Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol. 11, Part II, Edward Doty..., Peter B. Hill, Compiler, Gen Soc Mayflower Desc., 1996, pages 49 and 138-139. Page 138 states Daniel died in Basking Ridge, but his will indicates he resided in Bridgewater, in the central part of Somerset County. "Daniel was a Revolutionary War soldier, a teamster in the New Jersey militia. "On 13 May 1799 Daniel Doty and wife Elizabeth of Morris Township NJ sold 23 acres of land to Peter Sharpenstein. "The will of Daniel Doty of Bridgewater, Somerset Co, NJ, signed 17 July 1823, proved 22 Nov. 1823, mentions only his wife Elizabeth, whom he named executor." Daniel is probably the individual living in Bernards, Somerset County in 1819 when he freed a slave named Paris Mulford on April 19. 198. JOSEPH DENMAN6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born August 17, 1767 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, and died August 27, 1814 in Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey. He married ELIZABETH JOHNSON Abt. 1792 in Basking Ridge, daughter of SAMUEL JOHNSON and SARAH UNKNOWN. She was born July 17, 1775, and died February 16, 1817 in Morristown. Children of JOSEPH DOTY and ELIZABETH JOHNSON are: i. HANNAH AYRES7 DOTY, b. November 24, 1793, possibly Morristown; d. September 20, 1818; m. DAVID NORRIS, March 4, 1813, Morris County, New Jersey.

July 9, 1870, possibly Somonauk, Illinois. DRAFT NOTES: The Doty genealogies I have checked do not offer any biographical details on Joseph Doty. One son was a manufacturer, while another was a house painter. . 199. BARNABUS BARNET6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born November 12, 1771 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, and died there March 30, 1835. He married (1) ELIZABETH SUTTON November 26, 1795 in Morristown, New Jersey, daughter of URIAH SUTTON and ELIZABETH BOCKOVER. She was born January 30, 1771, probably in Somerset County, New Jersey, and died December 27, 1821 in Basking Ridge. He married (2) MARY COURSEN SIMPSON December 15, 1827 in Basking Ridge, daughter of DAVID SIMPSON and REBECCA PRICE. She was born February 9, 1783, and died July 12, 1833 in Basking Ridge. Children of BARNABUS DOTY and ELIZABETH SUTTON, all born in Basking Ridge, are: 623. i. URIAH SUTTON7 DOTY, b. October 1, 1796; d. November 1, 1883, Morristown; m.

Abt. 1816, Westfield; d. March 2, 1855, Union, New Jersey. . DRAFT NOTES: " His name appears in some records as both Barnet and Barnard, in addition to Barnabus.” (SOURCE ??) "On 14 Nov. 1806, Barnet Doty and wife Elizabeth of Morris Township NJ sold 67 1/2 acres on the road leading to Basking Ridge NJ to John Doughty, Esq." (page 140) Barnabus and brother Stephen married successively two sets of sisters: the Sutton and Simpson sisters. (Stephen is # 202 in this genealogy.) Other than these tidbits, I have found nothing substantial about Barnabus’s life, although I suspect he was a farmer. Son Uriah was a laborer in the two censuses I have checked for him. Son Daniel S. Doty was a farmer in 1870 and 1880, while youngest son Samuel S. Doty was a tailor in 1850 and 1860, and a farmer in 1870. An online posting for Samuel says that he “. . . was born at his father's farm in Basking Ridge.” 200. ELIZABETH6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1778 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, and died May 2, 1822, probably in New Jersey or Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. She married JOHN BENJAMIN August 23, 1800 in Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, son of HERRICK BENJAMIN and MARY STOWE. He was born 1776, and died March 11, 1852 in Morristown. Children of ELIZABETH DOTY and JOHN BENJAMIN are: i. DANIEL7 BENJAMIN, b. 1807, Morris County, New Jersey; d. December 23, 1878. 628. ii. JOSEPH BENJAMIN, b. Abt. 1808, Morris County, New Jersey; d. after July 23, 1850; m. CHARLOTTE UNKNOWN; b. abt. 1822, d. after July 23, 1850. This couple probably had one son, Abraham, who perhaps moved to Indiana with uncle John S. Benjamin, below. 629. iii. JOHN S. BENJAMIN, b. Abt. 1815, Morris County, New Jersey; d. after 1860, perhaps Indiana. Joseph Benjamin removed to Clinton County, Indiana by 1860. DRAFT NOTES: After the death of Elizabeth, John Benjamin married (2) Bethia Crane. Beyond dates, I have found no biographical details on this family, not even certain locations in the 1850 census.. 201. HANNAH6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1780, probably in Basking Ridge, and died January 9, 1860, probably in Morris County, in New Jersey. She married (1) UNKNOWN MCCARTER. He died Bef. December 20, 1806. She married (2) ENOCH GOBLE December 20, 1806 in Morristown, New Jersey, son of SIMEON GOBLE and ABIGAIL CONGER. He was born 1754, and died Bef. January 6, 1824 in Morris County, New Jersey. Child of HANNAH DOTY and ENOCH GOBLE is: 630. i. BENJAMIN7 GOBLE, b. Abt. 1807, probably in Morristown; d. Aft. 1880; m. (1) CATHERINE UNKNOWN, before 1835; b. about 1801 – 1803, New Jersey, d. after Dec. 27, 1850; m. (2) MARGARET UNKNOWN; before 1870; b. Abt. 1827, New Jersey; d. Aft. 1880. DRAFT NOTES: I have found little biographical information on this family, but Enoch Goble was likely a farmer, as was son Benjamin. Hannah Doty was the third wife of Enoch Goble. ONLINE RECORDS OF THE GOBLE FAMILY ARE CONFUSED AND CONTRADICTORY. 202. STEPHEN6 DOTY (GRACE5 COLLYER, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born April 6, 1784 in Basking Ridge, and died there June 16, 1843. He married (1) ANNA SUTTON December 1, 1804 in Basking Ridge, daughter of URIAH SUTTON and ELIZABETH BOCKOVER. She was born August 19, 1778 in Basking Ridge, and died there October 15, 1827. He married (2) ABIGAIL PRICE SIMPSON April 12, 1828, daughter of DAVID SIMPSON and REBECCA PRICE. She was born May 3, 1789, and died August 28, 1872. Child of STEPHEN DOTY and ANNA SUTTON is: 631. i. MIRANDA7 DOTY, b. Abt. 1806; d. Aft. 1897, possibly Basking Ridge; m. SOLOMON GILLESPIE, December 21, 1828, Morris County, New Jersey; b. Abt. 1802, New Jersey; d. June 2, 1863, Basking Ridge. . DRAFT NOTES: Again, except for the fairly complete names and dates in the 1897 Doty-Doten Family in America: Descendants of Edward Doty. . . , I have found no details on the life of Stephen Doty of Basking Ridge. Stephen and brother Barnabus married successively two sets of sisters: the Sutton and Simpson sisters. (Barnabus is # 199 in this genealogy.) 203. THOMAS6 COLLYER, JR. (THOMAS5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born Bet. 1783 - 1786 in New Jersey, and died December 15, 1863 in Independence, Warren County, Indiana. He married ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. She was born April 13, 1781, probably in Pennsylvania, and died July 27, 1855 in Independence, Indiana. Children of THOMAS COLLYER and ELIZABETH UNKNOWN are: 632. i. LEWIS7 COLLYER, b. 1806, Nelson County, Kentucky; d. Bef. December 3, 1869, Warren County, Indiana; m. (1) SARAH UNKNOWN; b. Bet. 1800 - 1810; d. December 1, 1847, probably Independence, Indiana; m. (2) FRANCES LINE, August 10, 1848, Butler County, Ohio; b. Abt. 1804; d. October 28, 1865, probably Independence, Indiana. Per one online account, first wife Sarah was Sarah Line, daughter of John Line (or, Lyons) and Sarah Enyart (“[Sarah]. . .[b]. 12 Dec. 1794... [d].1 Dec. 1847. . .” ). The Line family was from New Jersey, but was in Butler County, Ohio at least by1806. After the death of Sarah, Lewis Collyer returned to Butler County, Ohio to marry “Fanny,” who was in 1848 the widow of George Collins. ii. ELIZABETH COLLYER, b. Abt. 1827, Ohio; d. Aft. September 27, 1850, when she was living with her parents in Warren Township, Warren County, Indiana. She is probably the Elizabeth Collyer who married Job Jefferson in Warren County on February 12, 1852. I have found no later record for the couple. iii. HANNAH COLLYER, b. Abt. 1828 - 1829, Ohio; d. after the 1850 census, when she was also living with her parents in Warren County, Indiana. She is probably the Hannah Collyer who married Benjamin Neal in Warren County on December 29, 1853. This couple resided in neighboring Fountain County, where Benjamin, a farmer, died November 7, 1905, and Hannah C. Neal died February 22, 1908. In the 1900 census Hannah is clearly recorded as having borne 10 children, none still living in 1900. I haven’t located records of children in earlier censuses. The birthplace of both of Hannah’s parents is recorded in 1880 as Virginia, and in 1900 as Pennsylvania, and her recorded age varies a little over the censuses. In the 1860 household there is an unidentified Susan K. “Collier,” born about 1841, Indiana, in the household, as well as a Leander Neal, born about 1851, so too young to be a child of Hannah’s. DRAFT NOTES: THOMAS COLLYER, JR. ALMOST CERTAINLY HAD OTHER CHILDREN, PER CENSUS RECORDS. ONE WAS POSSIBLY JOHN COLLYER, B. ABT. 1819, OHIO, D. AFTER 1900, WHO LIVED IN WARREN COUNTY, INDIANA FROM AT LEAST HIS MARRIAGE IN 1843. ANOTHER POSSIBLE CHILD OF THOMAS COLLYER, JR. WAS RUTH COLLYER, B. ABT. 1811, OHIO, D. AFTER 1860. SHE M. DANIEL MILLER IN BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO IN THE EARLY 1830s, AND THEY LATER LIVED IN FOUNTAIN COUNTY, INDIANA, JUST SOUTH OF WARREN COUNTY. OF THIS RUTH COLLIER, A FOUNTAIN COUNTY HISTORY SAYS: “. . .[She was] daughter of Thom[a]s Collier, a prominent pioneer of Butler County. The father of Thomas Collier was one of the heroes of the Revolutionary War.” [NOTE SOURCE ??] Thomas Collyer, Jr. seems to have been in Bardstown, Kentucky about 1806, and probably his father was as well. In 1820 both were probably in Liberty Township, Butler County, Ohio. Butler County at that period had a significant number of settlers from New Jersey, including Dotys. In the 1830 Liberty Township census Lt. Thomas Collyer, Thomas, Jr. and Lewis Collyer all appeared, although the surname was rendered “Colleur.” All were probably farmers, and that is the occupation usually given in the 1850 and 1860 Indiana censuses, after the families moved to Warren County. 204. IRA MORRISON6 COLLYER (THOMAS5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born January 8, 1817 in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky, and died May 25, 1904 in Marion, Marion County, Kansas. He married MARTHA ANN ROBERTS April 21, 1840 in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, probably daughter of JOHN ROBERTS and MARTHA J. ZANE. She was born September 1, 1822 in Hamilton, Ohio, and died August 2, 1910, probably in Marion, Kansas. Children of IRA COLLYER and MARTHA ROBERTS are: 633. i. MARTHA J.7 COLLYER, b.

June 18, 1900 (There was a thirteenth child, name and sex unknown to me. wrc 8/7/06) DRAFT NOTES: 8/7/06 -- review the following – some minor changes needed after correspondence with Tony Frolich, June – July 2006. As noted in the biography of his father, Lt. Thomas Collyer (# 74 in this genealogy), Pierson Sayre of Butler County, Ohio was appointed guardian of Ira Collyer in March 1835. The father had died, aged about 90, on August 24, 1834. I have no reason to think that Mr. Sayre did not fulfill his duties until Ira turned 21 years of age, on January 8, 1838. In 1839 Ira M. Collyer is listed as a member of a fire company in Hamilton, Butler County. (Note 1) Ira and Martha Ann Roberts were married by the Rev. Charles Swain in Butler County on April 21, 1840. Martha Ann’s parents both seem to have been from New Jersey, although I am not completely confident in the ancestry of John Roberts, her father. He does not appear in the 1850 census, the first in which all members of a family were named, and their places of birth given. Mother Martha (Zane) Roberts is listed in the censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1870 with Ira and Martha Ann Collyer. A brother of Martha Ann was a well known woodworker and clockmaker in Boone County, Kentucky. Judge Anthony W. Frohlich of Boone County is writing a study of a famous clock built by Thomas Zane Roberts, including some genealogical material on the family. I thank him for sharing some of that information with me. (Note 2) According to family records, the first 3 children were born in Hamilton, Ohio. Sometime between, say, 1847 and 1850 the family removed to Carroll County, Kentucky. A few of the later children were again born in Hamilton, but I do not know whether the entire family returned to the old home for a time, or whether Martha Ann for some reason went there to give birth. Particularly in the case of son William, born 1862 in Hamilton, events of the Civil War might have dictated a temporary retreat from Kentucky. (Note3) At the September 5, 1850 census enumeration of District 2, Carroll County (in or near Carrollton) “I. M. Collyer” was a merchant with $900 in real estate. At the Carrollton census of June 8, 1860 Ira M. “Colyer” is reported as a farmer, with $6,500 in real estate and $2,500 in personal estate. (At this 1860 census, in addition to mother-in-law Martha Roberts, a Simeon Roberts, aged 48 and born in New Jersey, was also in the Collyer household. This is likely another son of Martha, but no relationship is given.) The Carrollton census of June 1, 1870 lists Ira M. Collyer as a retail merchant with a substantial estate. He appears to have $4,500 in real estate and the same in personal estate. (The 1870 figures aren’t clearly written – the amounts could be $11,500 in both categories.) In the census of June 21, 1880 the family was in Prestonville, Carroll County. “I. M. Collyer” is again listed as a merchant, with father born in New Jersey and mother in Maryland. From the Carrollton (KY) Democrat, Sat. Feb 23, 1884: “I. M. Collyer of Prestonville was one of 30 or 40 people [recently] driven from their homes by flooding.” In 1885 Ira and Martha Ann moved to Marion, Kansas. Daughter Rebecca and her husband, Charles P. Ames, were living in Marion at least as early as 1880. The Rev. George Froh and his wife Mary Elizabeth (Collyer) were there by 1901, probably earlier. The Collyers remained in Marion for the rest of their lives. The following excerpts from issues of the Marion, Iowa Record of 1901 and May and June, 1904 give a somewhat florid overview of the life of Ira Collyer. (Note4) Probably from an issue of 1901: SON OF A REVOLUTIONARY SIRE Ira M. Collyer, the subject of the following sketch from the Marion, Kansas Record, is the father of Mrs. George Froh of this city. Rev. and Mrs. Froh recently returned from a three weeks' visit at his home in Marion. ---------- We believe that Marion enjoys a distinction shared by no other community in the United States – the citizenship of a man who is the son of a man who fought for seven years under George Washington in the Revolutionary War. We refer to our revered fellow citizen, Ira M. Collyer. Thomas Collyer, his father, was born in Amboy, Monmouth County, New Jersey, 1741 [sic]. He was First Lt. in the first company raised on the Delaware to fight for national independence. The company was commanded by Capt. Bailess. He fought under the immediate command of Washington and was at Valley Forge and other historic places. He remained in the Continental Army until the close of the war, and was a pensioner at the time of his death where he was buried. He lived to be ninety-seven years of age. When seventy-three years of age, he moved to Nelson County, Kentucky, where he married Mrs. Mary McAdams, and to them was born, when this old soldier was about seventy-five years of age, a son, the subject of this sketch, our highly esteemed fellow citizen, Ira M. Collyer. Mr. Collyer will be eighty-five years of age on the first day of next January. He is yet quite active in body, does a good deal of outdoor work, and is in the possession of his intellectual faculties to a remarkable degree. He is a gifted man, possesses a clear, logical mind, richly stored with information, a delightful conversationalist, and a heart whose kindness beams from his intelligent, kindly face, and manifests itself in his soft gentle, refined voice. In earlier life he was a very successful businessman, amassing a comfortable little fortune, but reverses and the treachery of friends swept his earthly possessions from him. Misfortune, however, could not rob him of his cheerful smile, nor of his profound faith in God, and though poor in purse, he is rich in character and in the promise of a glorious hereafter. From the birth of his father to the present time covers a period of one-hundred and sixty years, and antedates the Declaration of Independence nearly forty years. He is probably the only man in the United States of whom this could be said. From issues of May 26 and June 2, 1904: Obituary [:] Ira Morrison Collyer was born in Bardstown, Ky in the year 1817, and fell asleep in Jesus in Marion, Kansas, May 25, 1904. He was converted and joined the Methodist church in 1840 and continued a faithful and honored member of the same until the time of his death. He was a man of quiet Christian spirit, who adorned the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. For many years he was engaged in business pursuits and was always known as a man of the strictest integrity. He was well informed on the religious and political questions of the day, being a constant reader of the church papers and the best literature. His spiritual life was fed daily by the word of God and sweet communion with Christ. He was married to Martha A Roberts in 1842 [sic, actually 1840] and thirteen children were born to them, eleven of whom, with the widow, survive him to cherish the memory of a father who was always tender and thoughtful, and a life that was fragrant with good deeds. The funeral was held at the Methodist church on Saturday morning conducted by the pastor, Rev. D. McCormick, and the remains were lovingly laid to rest in Highland cemetery. Copied from Marion Record , Marion, Kansas Thursday, June 2, 1904 ------------------- [Page break Wade C.] Marion Record Thursday, May 26, 1904 Father Ira Collyer, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this town is dead. He passed away Wednesday afternoon, and will be buried Saturday. The RECORD will say more of this good man next week. ------------------ [Page break Wade C.] Marion Record, Thursday, June 2, 1904 The death of Father Collyer, briefly mentioned in last week’s RECORD removed from Marion one of its most respected citizens. Ira Morrison Collyer was born in Bardstown, Kentucky in 1817 and was therefore 87 years of age at the time of his death. He grew to manhood from early childhood in Butler County, Ohio. In 1860 [sic, actually before 1850] he moved to Carrolton, Kentucky where he resided till 1885, when he came to Marion, Kansas, where he has lived highly honored, respected ever since. When twenty-two years of age he joined the Methodist Church, and was a faithful, consistent, devout member to the end of his long life. He was married to Miss Martha A. Roberts in 1840 and for sixty-four years they have lived happily together. Thirteen children were born to them, eleven of whom are still alive. Mr. Collyer was a very intelligent man, well posted in history and full of interesting reminiscences which it was a delight to hear him relate. He was a modest man, but firm in his convictions and courageous to the advoca[c]y of what he believed to be right. Funeral services were held Saturday in the Methodist Church of which he was a faithful member. The pastor Rev. McCormick preached a beautiful and most appropriate discourse.

JOHN6 COLLYER III (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born March 4, 1782, probably in Somerset County, New Jersey, and died January 5, 1865, probably in Bedminster, Somerset County, New Jersey. He married ELIZABETH GASTON September 16, 1806, daughter of JOSEPH GASTON and IDA VAN ARSDALEN. She was born November 17, 1782, and died November 11, 1857. Child of JOHN COLLYER and ELIZABETH GASTON is: 641 i. MARGARET BROWN7 COLLYER, b. June 19, 1807; d. Aft. 1860, probably Bedminster, Somerset County, New Jersey; m. JOHN B. VAN DE VEER, December 12, 1826, probably Bedminster; b. October 29, 1806; d. Aft. 1870, probably Bedminster. DRAFT NOTES: Portions of notes from Diane Hutchins, November 28, 2004: “According to the church membership list John Collyer was received into the Bedminster Reformed Church by certificate from the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church on May 7, 1812. His wife, Elizabeth Gaston, was received by certificate from the Lamington Presbyterian Church on the same date. [Lamington is an unincorporated area within Bedminster Township.] They were both "...[d]ismissed to a Pres. Ch. to be formed in Pluckamin..." on March 11, 1851. The formation of the Presbyterian Church at Pluckemin was hotly debated in the Reformed Church at Bedminster. John Collyer attended a "Great Consistory" in which he gave his support (in the minority) for the new church. As he said ‘Would be pleased if it could be done in harmony.’ "John served several times in the 40 years he was a member of the Bedminster Dutch Reformed Church as deacon and later as elder. He was one of five men appointed to a committee in 1816 to determine whether brick or wood would be the most cost-effective choice in the remodeling of the church.” In the 1850 census of Bedminster, John Collyer was listed as a farmer with $2,000 of real estate. Living with John and wife Elizabeth were granddaughter Eliza Collyer Van De Veer, her husband Andrew J. Gulick, and their infant daughter Anna. Just above the Collyer family was daughter Margaret, her husband John B. Van De Veer, and 3 children still living at home. At the 1860 census, after the death of his wife, John Collyer is living with his daughter and son-in-law in Bedminster. He listed his occupation as carpenter in 1860, and had $1,700 in personal estate. 206. GEORGE6 COLLYER (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born May 25, 1787 in New Jersey, and died September 5, 1856 in Somerset County, New Jersey. He married (1) ANN SMITH February 15, 1812, daughter of ELIJAH SMITH and MARY SUTTON. She was born July 1, 1794, and died January 7, 1817, possibly in Mt. Bethel, Somerset County , New Jersey. He married (2) CATHERINE WHITENACK October 27, 1818 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. She was born November 12, 1784, and died February 4, 1867. Children of GEORGE COLLYER and ANN SMITH are: i.

Page 95 has the roster of Capt. John Brees Co. of Light Infantry, Third Regiment New Jersey Detailed Militia. Samuel C. Collyer served as Corporal from Sept. 7, 1814 to Dec. 4, 1814, while George "Colyer" was a private, serving the same dates. The company was formed in Basking Ridge, and the dates listed are typical for all but two men of the 28 man unit. Other surnames in the unit were the "Collyer" related ones David A. Douglas, and Ayres, Lewis, Southard and Whitenack. ------------------------- George is named in a quitclaim deed of 1822, living in Bernards Township. ----------- In the 1850 Federal census of Bedminster, George was a blacksmith living next to son Samuel Doty Collyer, a carpenter. George claimed real estate valued at $600, as best I can read the entry. -------------- His will is listed in the Somerset County Index of wills as # 3546R. Will and inventory both dated 1856. His name is given in the index as George "Colyer." ----------- Catherine Whitenack may have been previously married, as one record gives her name at marriage to George Collyer as Catharine “Southard.” [NOTE SOURCE ??] 207. JACOB6 COLLYER (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born January 5, 1790 in New Jersey, and died November 6, 1868, probably in Bernards Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. He married NANCY SOUTHARD July 6, 1820, daughter of LOTT SOUTHARD and SARAH UNKNOWN. She was born November 19, 1798 in New Jersey, and died January 14, 1863, probably in Bernards Township. Children of JACOB COLLYER and NANCY SOUTHARD are: 645. i. SARAH ELIZABETH7 COLLYER, b. April 24, 1821; d. Aft. 1880; m. SAMUEL SEARING BEACH, JR., February 11, 1840, Somerset County; b.

DRAFT NOTES: Jacob Collyer appears to have been the brother who eventually acquired the old “Collyer Plantation” off South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge. On an 1873 map of the town, after his death, that property is listed as owned by “J. Collyer Est.” Jacob was a slave owner in the early 1800s, and granted freedom to a slave named Joan on April 5, 1825. At the 1850 Federal census, Jacob, age 60, was a farmer with real estate of $7,000. Living with Jacob, his wife Nancy, and daughter Helen was Jacob’s youngest sister, Susan, listed as “idiotic” then, and at least as early as 1818. In the 1850s, and perhaps in other periods, Jacob held the office of “Commissioner of Deeds.” I do not know whether this was a Bernards Township or Somerset County position. At the 1860 Federal census, Jacob was 70 years old, a farmer, with real estate of $13,000 and personal estate of $4,000, both substantial sums. Brother Pierson had only $450 in real estate, and $ 100 in personal estate. Jacob, wife Nancy and sister Susan Collyer are all buried in the Old Church Yard of the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church. 208. SAMUEL C.6 COLLYER (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born May 27, 1794, probably in Somerset County, New Jersey, and died April 14, 1872 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He married RUTH CROSS January 29, 1818 in Bedminster, Somerset County, New Jersey. She was born Abt. 1794 in New York, and died Aft. 1880, probably in Newark.

Page 95 has the roster of Capt. John Brees[’] Co. of Light Infantry, Third Regiment New Jersey Detailed Militia. Samuel C. Collyer served as Corporal from Sept. 7, 1814 to Dec. 4, 1814, while George "Colyer" was a private, serving the same dates. The company was formed in Basking Ridge, and the dates listed are typical for all but two men of the 28 man unit. Samuel and his wife seem to have left Somerset County for Newark before 1828. There Samuel generally worked as a carpenter, as shown in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. In both 1850 and 1860 he listed $5,000 in real estate. His sons also were carpenters or contractors. 209. THOMAS6 COLLYER (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born August 7, 1797 in Somerset County, New Jersey, and died March 24, 1875, probably in Newark, New Jersey. He married (1) ABIGAIL PEARSON January 24, 1821 in Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey. She was born November 24, 1802, and died 1835. He married (2) REBECCA UNKNOWN December 12, 1839.

By the 1850 census he was a carriage maker there, in the South Ward. He had $2,000 in real estate in 1850. In 1870 Thomas and Rebecca were living in Newark’s 9th Ward. He was then aged 73, probably retired, and listed real estate of $6,000 and personal estate of $ 30,000. They had a live-in servant in 1870. 210. PIERSON S.6 COLLYER (JOHN5, JOHN4, THOMAS3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born January 23, 1800 in New Jersey, and died June 27, 1867, probably in Bernards Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. He married CATHERINE AYERS February 25, 1824 in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, daughter of WILLIAM AYERS and ELCEY UNKNOWN. She was born May 4, 1805, and died September 7, 1834.

In the 1850 census he was a farmer, with no real estate listed. In that year his 3 younger children were still living with him. Pierson S. "Colyer" was one of the Commissioners of Appeals, Bernards Township, in 1854. At the 1860 census, Pierson was still living in Bernards with his daughter Evelyn and son-in-law Cornelius De Coster. De Coster was a store keeper, while Pierson remained a farmer, with $450 in real estate and $100 in personal estate. 211 DANIEL6 ROBINSON (SAMUEL5, JOHN4, SUSANNAH3 COLLIER, MOSES2, THOMAS1) was born in 1748, probably in Westfield, Union County, New Jersey, and probably June 27, 1827. He married ABIGAIL SAYRE February 21, 1770 in Westfield, daughter of JONATHAN SAYRE and JANE WALMSLEY. She was born in 1753, possibly in Westfield, and died April 2, 1819.

(1) EZEKIEL LUDLOW/ or LUDLUM, March 24, 18ll in Westfield, who probably died May 30, 1835, perhaps Westfield, and (2) MAHLON JOHNSON, October 16, 1838 in New York City, second marriage for each. Mahlon Johnson’s first wife, Sarah or Sally Baker, was probably a daughter of Elizabeth Robinson and Lewis Baker, although the online records seem garbled. Mary and her first husband may have lived in Morris County, New Jersey, although I do find a record of one child, Abigail “Ludlum. . . daughter of Ezekial and Mary,” who died April 19, 1816, and is buried in the Westfield Presbyterian Cemetery, also called the Colonial Cemetery. Ezekiel “Ludlum” is also buried there. In the 1850 census Mahlon and Mary Johnson were in Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey. [Sayre Genealogy, p. 151; First Settlers of Passaic Valley, p, ____?, etc.] Daniel Robinson (the surname also sometimes given as “Roberson”) was a blacksmith in Westfield, as were his father and grandfather. Both Daniel and Abigail are buried in the Westfield Presbyterian Cemetery. The date often given for Abigail’s death – 1818 – differs from that given in the cemetery records, April 2, 1819. The ages given for them at their deaths are 65 for Abigail, 78 for Daniel. RECORDS ARE SPARSE FOR MOST OF THIS FAMILY. FAIRLY GOOD MARRIAGE, BAPTISMAL AND CEMETERY RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY, BUT BIOGRAPH- ICAL DETAILS ARE SCARCE IN 18TH CENTURY NEW JERSEY RECORDS. 212.
