1513 Inherited from his father a slave which went to his son Richard as John had died before his father:
…Item, I give and bequeath unto my grandson Richard Ankrom, son of my deceased son John Ankrom, one negro girl named Bark, and if he should die before he arrives to lawful age or before he shall have issue lawfully begotten of his body, it is my will and desire that my grandson William Ankrom, son of the said John Ankrom, shall have the above named negro girl named Bark.

John had a fort on his property during the American Revolution, which was several miles from Fort Jackson. His fort was where Colonel William Crawford met with the Frontier Rangers, this information is found in John’s pension file. John was in Captain James Archer’s company from Washington County, Pennsylvania in 1782.

1522 Israel Dewey married Sarah Root in Westfield, Massachusetts in 1709 or 1710. Sarah was the daughter of Thomas Root and Mary Spencer. The records of Westfield bear very little about the life of Israel but some of his service to the town can be found. In 1720 he was a selectman. In December of 1722 he was chosen by a vote along with Captain John Ashley and Joseph Dewey to "dignify the seats in the meeting house". In 1727 Samuel Dewey sold his portion of the house and homestead of their father, Cornet Thomas Dewey to Israel for 100 pounds. This portion included 4 acres bordered to the west by the county road (Little River Road), to the north by John Ingersoll, to the south and east by Hains Kingsley.
Israel died in the morning of January 26, 1728 at the age of 42. At the time of his death his estate was inventoried and appraised to be valued 812 pounds and 6 shillings. Although no burial records exist for him, my personal belief is he was buried in the Dewey family plot, not far from his parents and children in The Old Burying Grounds also called The Mechanic Street Cemetery in Westfield. This particular area of the cemetery where the majority of Dewey's are located (section I) there are many blank areas where no headstones can be seen and a portion of the original cemetery records have been lost to time. Since both his parents and both of his sons are buried there, it makes sense that he is probably buried there also.

DEWEY, Israel (I581)
 
1523 It appears that Amey was about ready to pop her first child out when they were married in Dec as their first child was born a little over a month later. Family F197
 
1524 It has been said he probably married an Elizabeth because he owned a place called “Betty’s Delight”. No evidence has been found for this assumption. He was not the original owner of the land and other properties in the area also carried the same name.

Abraham Lemaster, farmer, son of John and Sarah Lemaster, was born ca. 1638 in St. Marie's Parish on the Isle of Jersey in the Channel Islands. The area in which Abraham lived was a part of St. Mary's County, Maryland until 1695 when that portion of St Mary's County (lying between Zekiah Swamp and the current St Mary's County line, including access to the Patuxent River between Swanson's Creek and Indian Creek), were included in Charles County, Maryland.


First record found for Abraham LeMaster:
1662
Abraham witnessed the will of George Houldcraft, Sept. 21, 1662. “Md. General References, Will Vo. 1, p. 32.

1668
Proved RIGHT to 50 acres for TIME OF SERVICE
land Office, Liber #11, Folio 545 November the xvi th, MDCLXVIII (1668)
In margin is written “Abra Lemaster pos. on right and assignee Snell”
came Abraham Lemaster of the County of St. Maries and proved right to fifty acres Land due for his time of Service performed to Jon Smith and assignes it to Roger Snell in the following words Vix:
Know all men by these presents that I Abraham Lemaster of the County of St. Maries in the province of Maryland, planter, have assigned and made over to Roger Snell of the place aforesaid, planter, all my right title interest claim and demands of in and to Service with John Smith to have and to hold, the said fifty acres of land to him, the said Roger Snell to the only use and behoofe of him the said Roger Snell his heirs and assignes forever, Witness my hand and Seal this xvi th day of November in the xxxvii the year of the Dominion of Cecilius Anna Domini 1668.
sealed and delivered in the presence of Edward Savage.
Abraham Lemaster Sealed (#3)
then in margin - “Roger Snell proved one right, hd, and warrt. 100 acres
Roger Snell, Servant to Capt. William Boarman. This right proved before me, this v th day October 1668.
November the xvi[16] MDCLXVIII[1668]
Charles Calvert
Warrant then issued to lay out for Roger Snell one hundred acres of land to him due, as of cert? returned the xvi[16] day of Feb next.

1672
We find Abraham living on “Betty’s Delight” when surveyed for Edward Evans, Chingamuxon Hundred, August 22, “Charles Co. Rent Rolls, 1639-1724” On August 1, 1663, Granted to Edward Evans of St. Mary’s Co. 200 acres of land by assignment from Richard Edelin, the assignee of William Boarman, the assignee of Thomas Noble due Nobley for transporting Samuel Haley, Mathew Hinch, James Weatherly and Thomas Whinley into the province to inhabit, etc., do hereby grant unto Edward Evans all that parcel of land called “Betty’s Delight” lying in St. Maries Co. and beginning at a bounded red oak of Capt. Boarman’s nea the land of “Hall’s Place etc. Land Office, Annapolic, Liber 17, Fo. 221” Another reference vol. 2 p. 154 of Rent Rolls.

1685
After living on “Betty’s Delight” for many years as noted above, on November 10 of this year Abraham bought it from Edward Evans.
And he was having several court appearances about this period as found in “Court Proceedings” St. Mary’s Count, Book DSA p. 46, versus John Dent; again in book DSC p. 69 in 1692 vs. David Jones; again vs. Jones in 1693 on p. 260 of same book; vs. Wm. Taylord, where mention was made of Mrs. Abraham Lemaster, but no further information about her, in “St. Mary’s Judgments” TL #1, 5B pp 636, 687, 688, 689.” This is a very long, hard to read, instrument where Taylord was suing Abraham, for several years, but Abraham won the case. Then in 1699 we find Abraham serving on jury several times, according to “Provincia Court Judgments, St. Mary’s County” Book W. T. 33, pp 11, 23, 27, 33. In 1700 he is mentioned on “Early Settlers List” Land Office, Book 11, p. 545. But this is of little value since this particular list was developed some time after 1900, and it is amazing he was not mentioned for an early date since we have found many references for him beginning with 1662, as previously given.

1717
In 1717 his dau. Mary mentioned as wife in will of Robert Barron, made Aug. 10, probated Oct. 1. Witnesses: Len Sweeny, John Donaldson, Alexander Edmonds, Mathew Loddadill. Charles Co. Wills, Liber 14, Folio 387. Again she is mentioned in 1729, though confusing, in a lease, as wife of Stephen Noe, per book C. #2, p. 203, Charles Co. “Hodges Marriage Recores”’ lost suit with brother John for legacy left by father, Abraham, per Book Q, #2, p. 269, same source, for want of jurisdiction. She was called Ann in this latter action. Either Mary had married Stephen Noe by this date, or there is an error, which is more probable, since Hodges does not enjoy much credit for accuracy at Hall of Records.

While this inventory indicates a very meager estate, Abraham had been quite wealthy in land, as his will indicates and others, which he had given to his children.


--------------------------
The oldest son of Abraham Lemaistre appears to have been Richard Lemasters. Richard was not mentinoed in Abraham's will, it is assumed, because Richard had been given "Toombett" next to his father's acreage near Zekiah Swamp, when he was five years old, and it was to become his home for fifteen years later. There are precedents in both Maryland and Virginia of fathers securing land grants for underage sons, the purpose behind such practice being to circumvent the British custom of promogeniture.
The omission of Richard Lemaster form his father's will, though understandable, is unfortunate for genealogists since no other documentation has been found to prove conclusively that Abraham Lemasters was Richard's father. However, careful scrutiny of records in St. Mary's and Charles counties during the latter 1600's reveals the presence of no other adult Lemaster male except Abraham. It is, therefore, a reasonable conclusion that Richard Lemasters was the son of Abraham Lemasters because there was no other Lemasteres around who could have been his father.
Richard Lemaster married Martha Dennis around 1690. Martha is believed to have been the daugthter of Jean and Lysbet Denys who fled France in 1685 when the Edict of Nantes was revoked and settled in Somerset County, Maryland, as John and Elizabeth Dennis. There is no record of the marriage, but on April 11, 1752, Thomas Jameson testified before the Charles County court in a dispute over a corner of Betty's Delight that Richard Lemasters and John Dennis, Jr. were "brothers." (Jameson meant by this statement that Richard and John were Brothers-in-law in modern parlance.) Land records also show that on John Dennis owned a plantation which adjoined Betty's Delight. This John Dennis may have been either the father or John Dennis Jr. The name was called Tennison in land records. Richard and Martha (Dennis) Lemaster started their married life in St. Mary's County, Maryland, in the area claimed also by Charles County, Maryland. When the matter was settled, their land was in Charles county. Both counties are at the tip of Maryland which is bounded by Chesapeake Bay.
As a married man, Richard was termed a "Carpenter". He also made several land transactions, some of them were repeated in more than one source.
Martha died between 1713, when her name appeared on a land deed, and 1723, when her name was absent from a land deed of that date.
In the settlement of Virginia, Tobacco was not merely the money crop, but was money, it being the medium of exchange. lt's value in relation to the English pound was fixed by the House of Burgesses, as was it's quality and the amount of production. (Early day crop allotments?) Richard was able to purchase "Betty's Delight", for 5,000 pounds of Tobacco, in 1727 from his brother John, who had inherited it. Perhaps it was because John had produced no male heirs, that he was willing to sell the land to Richard, who willed the land to his son John. John sold it to one Abraham Hargess in 1747, thus removing Lemaster's ownership of "Betty's Delight" after sixty years of occupancy.
All of the children of Richard and Martha Lemasters remained in the Charles County area during the early part of their lives, but following the French and Indian War (1754-1763) several of them migrated farther west in Maryland and south across the Potomac River into Virginia.
Richard lived until after 1735. His will or grave have not been found. He was married to Martha Dennis about 1694 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. 
LEMASTERS, Abraham (I423)
 
1525 It is believed that he had a first wife named Elizabeth who was buried at Whichford on 11 Jan 1552/3 (our ancestress), then married Elizabeth Banks. It is presumed that he is the same Thomas Wells who was being taxed at Whichford in 1542.

Administration of his estate was granted on 8 Oct 1558 to his brother Walter, for his two children until they reached the age of 21. 
WELLES, Thomas (I2601)
 
1526 It is believed that Sarah had connections in Wakefield as there is no ‘of ___’ to their marriage entry. Family F2653
 
1527 It is believed that this John is not a child of Edmund and Elizabeth

A Jo. Farrington was on the Ship Hopewell 1635 as an 11 year old child of Edmond Farrington. 'He was of Dedham' by 1646.

John Farrington, born about 1620 , probably arriving in America through Barbados. He was of Dedham by 1646 and died there June 27, 1676. He married April 23, 1649, Mary Bullard, dau of William Bullard, who outlived her husband. She married 2nd, a William Hoadley of Brandored, Connecticut.

------------------------------
In the list of passengers on the Hopewell of London, which sailed for New England on April 1, 1635, appeared Edmund Farrington, of Buckinghamshire, aged 47, and his wife Eliza, 49 with their children:
Sarah, 14
Matthew, 12
John, 11 (b1624)
and Eliza, 8.

They came from a town called Olney and settled at Lynn, Massachusetts, where Edmond died January 2, 1671.

Son Matthew had children born at Lynn:
Sarah, b. Feb 13, 1658, d. Jan 6, 1659
William, b. May 6, 1660
Sarah, b. June 15, 1663
Theophilus, b. Aug 13, 1666.

Son John had children born at Lynn:
Edward, b. Jul. 5, 1662;
John, b. Mar. 7, 1664;
Jacob, b. Jul. 22, 1666.

Edward and Jacob removed to Andover, Maine where Jacob died in 1667[at 1 year of age??].

Their fifth child was, Nathaniel Farrington was born at Dedham on Aug. 9, 1656, and died there May 8, 1723. He m'd Sarah Whiting, d. Dec. 1, 1723.
Their sixth child was, Jonathan Farrington was born at Dedham on Nov. 5, 1699 and died there Apr. 24, 1752. He m'd Aug 10, 1727, Prudence Childs, dau. of Joshua and Elizabeth (Morris) Childs, of Brookline, Mass., b Jul 22, 1703.
Their sixth child was,Nathaniel Farrington was born at Dedham on Mar. 15, 1735/6 and died there. He m'd Oct 19, 1758, Miriam Wight, dau of Joseph and Miriam (Stanley) Wight, b. Dec 5, 1736. they had children: Catharine, b. Dec 15, 1758, bap. Mar. 27, 1768; Nathaniel, b. Jul 1, 1760, bap. Mar 27, 1768; William, b. Oct 2, 1762, bap Mar 27, 1768; Abigail, b. Mar 10, 1765, bap Mar 27, 1768; Thomas, bap. Mar 27, 1768; Ambrose, b. Feb 10, 1770; Chloe, b. Mar 25, 1772, bap. July 12, 1772; David, b. Nov 13, 1774; and Leonard, b. June 25, 1777, bap. May 31, 1778. 
FARRINGTON, John (I666)
 
1528 It is evident that Peter Dragoo III was a stock farmer because of records that state:
“June 12, 1729 Peter Dragoo’s Eare Mark for his horses and cattle recorded. Then agin August 10, 1753 Peter Dragoo Eare Mark for his horses and cattle, cancelled and re-registered to one Joseph Lake.”

It was at this time that he and his family moved to Fredericks Co., VA. Peter IV now 26 and Margaret 14. On the way to Virginia they stopped at Western Pennsylvania to visit relatives. 
DRAGOO, Pierre (Peter) III (I874)
 
1529 It is most likely that Catherine/Katherine is the daughter of James Atkinson and Margaret Brown. Joseph and Katherine are selling property (see Joseph land notes) that was formerly James Atkinson’s, they received it after his death and are quit claiming their portion of the inheritance to John Adams, who was the administrator of James’ estate. Ebenezer Buckhanon and Kinz Atkinson are also quit claiming the same exact property to John who was executor of James’ will. Ebenezer’s wife is Rebecca Atkinson. ATKINSON, Catherine (I33)
 
1530 It is my understanding that Nathan Landon married Hannah Bishop ca. 1692-95. They had a son, James, who died while young, at Southold.

Daniel's son, James, was born 29 Mar 1685, at Taunton, Bristol Co. MA. He was sent to Southold, to be raised by his uncle, Nathan, after Daniel (Daniel Lander), along with Thomas Pound and others, was arrested in 1689 for piracy, found guilty, and hanged at Boston. In 1698, James Landon, age 13, was living in the household of Nathan Landon at Southold. James Landon married Mary Vail at Southold in May 1707, a bit too early to have been a son of Nathan. There is speculation that Daniel's wife, Ann, was Ann Lobdell, daughter of Isaac Lobdell and Martha Ward. My connection to all this is through my Moore ancester, Samuel Moore, who married Rachel Landon, the daughter of James and Mary Landon, at Litchfield, CT, 9 Oct 1735.

See the New England Historical & Genealogical Register for more information about the above.

LANDON, James (I331)
 
1531 it is not positive she died here specifically ROBINSON, Mary (I3562)
 
1532 It is now believed that Rachel is a daughter of Elzy and Mary. According to Wes Cochran’s bio on Absalom George he had no children named Rachel or Absalom, the two of an age who show up in the 1850 census with William and Deborah. Elzy died in the 1830s so I think the two were raised by their grandparents for a short time. Deborah would have been in her 50s if these kids were hers.

There is a daughter to Mary and Elzy George in the 1830 and 1840 census of an age of my Rachel. Also a Mary George is living with Rachel and Ezra Hays in the 1870 census who is the age to be Rachel’s mother.

She had a son in the 1850 census, William, age 2. Rachel’s marriage entry with Ezra Hays has no listing for parents, and she is listed as single, not widowed or divorced. Which indicates that William is probably an out of wedlock child. 
GEORGE, Rachel Ann (I91)
 
1533 It is thought by Sue Shepard that William might not have been the son of William Atkinson Shepard. But we have no evidence one way or another and we will never know, unless someone in the family gossiped about it. SHEPARD, William Gerald (I7)
 
1534 It is thought that William come from England in 1633 with the Rev. Thomas Hooker, the first minister of Hartford, Connecticut. Stayed for a while in Newton, Massachusetts before settling in Hartford, he owned land there in 1639. Shortly afterwards William went to Saybrook, Connecticut. A daughter was married there in 1652. His wife’s name is unknown as is anything else about her. HYDE, William (I3333)

1537 Jacob Houghtaling was born about 1676 at Coxsackie and was living at "Roelof-Janssen Kil" (the well known creek that later formed the Dutchess-Columbia County border) at the time of his marriage, 23 October 1698, to Jannetje Jacobsz van Noorstrand, daughter of Jacob Jansen van Noorstrand and Jannetje Jacobsz born at "the Halve Maen" (Van Noorstrand Gen. 80). They were married in Kingston, where the bride then resided (Kingston Marriages #138).
In the 1714 census of Dutchess County, Jacob Hoogteeling appears as head of a household of one male 16-60, two males under 16, three females under 16, and one female 16-60. The Reverend Josua Kocherthal, the Palatine minister, recorded that on 29 July 1716 he married 'Jan von Nordstrandt, widower, residing with Jacob Hochdihl near Rhinebeck, and Belicka Caujun, widow of the late Fransa Caujun, residing with Henrich Chisem" (Lou MacWeathy, Book of Names). Jacob's residence is more clearly defined in the will of Robert Livingston of 1728 (WNYHS 2:324), in which he names Jacob Houghtaling as one of his Livingston Manor tenants on a tract of land "lying on the southwest side of Roelof Jansen's kill." As Jacob did not own this land, his name does not appear on the Dutchess County list of freeholders. In the Book of Supervisors he is listed as a resident of North Ward from 1717 to 1730, of Rhinebeck Precinct in 1738 and 1739, and of Northeast Town from 1742 to 1779, the last time his name appears, when he would have been 82 years old. As each of these sections was formed from the preceding, it is unlikely that Jacob moved during his lifetime. In 1725 he was one of three "surveyors of ye Fences" in his district (Bk. of Supervisors 2:32) and in 1727 he was one of the two "overseers of ye Kings High Ways" (Ibid.). No evidence of a will has been found.
Jacob and Jannetje (van Noordstrand) Houghtaling had seven children authenticated by church records. In addition, two other daughters appear, because of their sponsorship at family baptisms, to have belonged to this family. 
HOUGHTALING, Jacob (I2273)
 
1538 Jacob Straight served as a guard at Fort Frederick in Maryland and died in the service of General Forbes’ Army near Will’s Creek, Maryland in October of 1758. His wife, Elizabeth, and his father, also died in October of 1758 near Will’s Creek, as there were many small raids between 1757 and 1758 by Indians, causing the settlers to flee to the Fort, it is quite possible and probable that they were killed during this particular attack. It is reported that a number of settlers were massacred and a number of women and children taken prisoner.

Jacob’s son and daughter, Jacob Jr. and Betsy were killed by an Indian raid on their settlement in (West) Virginia October 3, 1786. 
STRAIGHT, Jacob (I869)

1540 James Atkinson testified in 1832, at the pension hearing of his brother, Charles, that he was 70, which means he was born abt. 1762.

EMIGRATION: About 1799, brothers Charles and James Atkinson moved to the Northwest Territory and settled on Sunfish Creek in what is now Monroe Co., Ohio. Within the next 3 to 4 years they were joined by their brothers, William, Isaac, and Mitchell, and their sister, Mary Jones-Inghram. (Source: Catherine Fedorchak, Vol. II, p. 61 - furnished by Robert Guilinger)

RESIDENCES: Adams Township was organized on 6 Mar 1826. Sunfish Creek flows through the middle of Adams Twp. Piney Forks is a tributary of Sunfish Creek. The township is bordered by Sunsbury, Switzerland, Salem, Green and Center townships.

Early settlers of Adams township were Charles and James Atkinson, Gilbert and Mitchell McCoy, Elias Conger, Christian Hartline, Phillip Noland, Robert Norris, Samuel Bracey and the families of Mellott and Powell.

REFERENCE:
According to Hardesty: James Atkinson laid out the town of Jamestown on the Sunfish creek, near the mouth of Atkinson's Run in Monroe Co., OH. The name of Jamestown was changed to Cameron, OH in 1860. [Note: Some list the year as 1837. REH]

BIOGRAPHY:
James [Atkinson], the son of Cornelius [Atkinson], was engaged with his brother Charles in protecting the frontier at that time against Indian hostilities and both emigrated to this State at the same time. James was a single man at the time he came to this State, but soon afterward married Mary BROWN (usually called Aunt Polly ATKINSON by the young people in earlier times) and shortly after their union, moved to Licking county in this state among the Indians, but remained there but a short time when they moved back to this county and settled on Sunfish creek near the mouth of Atkinson's run, bought a quarter section of land from the government, erected a house thereon, and laid out the town of Jamestown (now called Cameron), and having lived there for many years, and raised a large family of children, he died at a good old age, and his remains were interred in the Cameron cemetery; his relict (Aunt Polly) lived in this county several years after his death, and moved with one of her sons to Wood county, West Virginia, and there died at a very old age.
(Source: History of Monroe County, Ohio; H.H. Hardesty & Co., Publishers, Chicago and Toledo, 1882, p31)

EMIGRATION-RESIDENCES: James and Mary Atkinson moved to Licking Co., OH. Then they moved back and settled on Sunfish Creek near Atkinson Run, where they bought 1/4 section from the government. They erected a house and laid out the town of Jamestown (Cameron), OH. James died there. His wife moved to Wood Co., WV with one of her sons and died there are at a very old age.

RESIDENCES: Charles and James Atkinson were early settlers at Sunfish Creek, Salem Twp., Monroe Co., OH (Found in Monroe OGS Navigator, July 1994, page 56, no source citation)

EMIGRATION: According to Robert Guilinger, siblings, Charles, James, William A., Mary, Isaac, and Mitchell Atkinson moved from Pennsylvania to Monroe Co., OH about 1799. He did not state his source for this conclusion.

CONFLICT-DEATH: Robert R. Guilinger lists the date of death as, Sep 1841.
Others have listed 1845 in Monroe Co., OH. In 1843 and 1845 Legal Notices were posted pertaining to his Estate Settlement.

James Atkinson married Mary Brown - he lived in Monroe Co. too. In the early 1790's Charles Atkinson went to live on Ten Mile Creek in Greene County, Pa. He and probably his brother James, also engaged in defense of the frontier against the Indians and lived in a stockade fort near the present city of Waynesburgh. They both served in the so-called Whiskey Rebellion. James was a Sgt. in Capt. James Seal's Company (Pa. Archives, 6th series, Vol. 5, pages 618, 630). Charles later served at Fort Henry on the present site of Wheeling W. Va.

About 1799, Charles and James Atkinson moved to the Northwest Territory on Sunfish Creek in what is now Monroe Co., Ohio, where they were soon joined by their brothers, William, Isaac, Mitchell and their sister, Mary Jones- Ingram, in the next three to four years.

James was the founder of Jamestown, now known as Cameron on Sunfish Creek in Monroe Co. William lived in Clarington, also in Monroe Co., Isaac was the first Associate Judge in the county, and Mitchell, the youngest brother was only 19 when he came to Ohio.

ATKINSON FAMILY - 2nd Installment
Joe Bachman found these Atkinsons in the 1830 census - all in Salem Township. James (he was the son of Cornelius) and aged 60/70, his wife was 50/60, and he had the following in his family: 1 female 20/30; 1 female 15/20; and 1 male and 1 female 10/15; and 1 female under 10.

One James Atkinson died prior to 1845, as the court records show that John Adams, administrator of that estate, sued the heirs in order to complete a contract made by that James in his lifetime. Heirs of this James, according to the court records, were Daniel Wire as guardian of infant defendant Wm. Lippencott, Humphrey Lloyd, Mary Atkinson, Margaret Smith and Jeremiah Smith, her husband, Keziah McCoy and James McCoy, her husband. This court entry may have concerned the Revolutionary Soldier, James Atkinson, but if so, then some of the material in my book Monroe Co. Ohio Records, Vol. II, page 62, concerning that family is in error. The use over and over of the same given names in these early families, and the fact that only heads of families were listed in census schedules prior to 1850 make the task of identifying all these different James' and Charles' families difficult.
