From The North Adams Evening Transcript, January 10, 1914: Clergyman Gives History of Stafford Hill Settlement

Any history of the Baptists in Western Massachusetts would have to include my 6X great grandfather Peter Werden (Worden) and after a general description of the area, Rev. Pease discussed the important position my ancestor had in his community.*

[10 Jan 1914, Page 8 - The North Adams Transcript at Newspapers.com]

 *There's even a mention of my 4x great grandfather Richmond.

Weddings in my Ancestral Line: December 8th through 14th

Two of my known direct ancestral couples were married during the second week of December:
maternal 6X great grandparents Moses Cooper and Mary Mathewson were wed in Glocester, Rhode Island, on December 10, 1732; and maternal great grandparents Lewis Logan Slater and Rufina Tomlinson in Severy, Kansas, on December 13, 1885.

The following two couples also married during the second week of December but I'm less certain of my relationship to them: paternal 10X great grandparents Thomas Ford and his first wife Joan Way wed in England on December 13, 1610*; and maternal 5X great grandparents William White and Jemima Wright were married on December 13, 1781 in Adams, Massachusetts, by my 6X great grandfather Elder Peter Worden.**

*This is a line that I haven't looked at in years and so I'm not certain of my connection. In any case, I would be descended from his second wife Elizabeth Charde.
**This couple's relationship to me is entirely speculative and not to be relied on. If it's true they are the grandparents of Hannah Leonard, the wife of Porter Worden (my 3X great grandparents)

New England Weddings in my Ancestral Line: December 1st through 7th

Three of my direct ancestral couples married during the first week of December: 6X great grandparents Jonathan Palmer and Mercy Manwaring were united in Stonington, Connecticut, on December 1, 1706; 8X great grandparents John West and Renew Carpenter married in Rehoboth, Massachusetts on December 4, 1703; and 7X great grandparents Jonathan Aldrich and Mary Wilson wed on December 4, 1740 in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

The first paragraph of Old-Time Marriage Customs in New England by Alice Morse Earle published in The Journal of American Folklore in 1893 sets the stage for a wedding:

This excerpt from  Pamela McArthur Cole's article on New England Marriages,* gives us an idea of the traditional setting for weddings.*

Also my 7X great grandmother Sarah Nutting, left widowed by my ancestor Jonathan Farnsworth five years earlier, married John Stone on December 7, 1698, in Concord, Massachusetts.

*These two articles were originally published one after the other in the same issue of The Journal of American Folklore. Both are worth reading although I don't think either would meet modern standards of scholarship.

Working on Wednesday: David Darling (1805- 1895) Farmer

Although this maternal 3X great grandfather was born in Rhode Island, in 1816 his father (also named David*) had relocated the family to central New York State, first living in Chenango County and then moving on to Virgil in Cortland County by 1825. Although we don't have a record of their union, that's probably where the younger David and Polly Gates were married about 1830.

As far as we can tell David and his growing family remained in Cortland County through the 1850 U.S. Census which found them living in Harford, about 7-1/2 miles from Virgil. (My direct ancestor Mercy is enumerated on line 19 and her younger sister Amanda, the second wife of my great great grandfather George Tomlinson, is on line 22.)

However, from the 1852 Iowa State Census we learn that the Darlings were now residing in Fairview Township in Jones County.

David, as head of household, appeared in an 1854 Iowa State Census and the whole family are listed in the 1856 state enumeration.

Four years later only Amanda was left at home in Fairview with David and Polly.

In Fairview 10 years later David and Polly had been joined by their widowed daughter Lovina and her son George.

David and Polly were alone in their house in Fairview in the 1880 U.S. Census.

Polly died in 1883, probably in Fairview as she is buried in the Norwich Cemetery in Jones County. In his obituary in Boulder Daily Camera of January 28, 1895, David Darling was described as a resident of Valmont, east of Boulder. (The Mrs. G. M. Tomlinson referred to is his daughter Amanda.) We don't know where he was buried.

[Source: Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) online]

There's no reason to believe that David ever followed any other occupation than that of a farmer in his lifetime. He was too young to be a soldier in the War of 1812 and too old to actively participate in the Mexican and Civil Wars. His greatest adventure appears to have been the life changes that took him from a childhood in Rhode Island to his last breath in Colorado 90 years later.

Working on Wednesday: Hill Freeman Warren (1896 - 1956), MD

We've been searching for my grandfather James Chappell Warren Jr.'s older brother "Henry H." for a long time.

[Year: 1900; Census Place: Justice Precinct 1, Johnson, Texas; Roll: 1649; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 0053; FHL microfilm: 1241649. Ancestry.com. 1900 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2004. Original data: United States of America, Bureau of the Census. Twelfth Census of the United States, 1900. Washington, D.C.]

As Christine wrote in a post focusing on their father James Chappell Warren Sr. in January of 2015:

"His son Henry was not on the 1910 Census but Nannie counted him as still living.  I am unsure of Henry's fate as I don't find him after the 1900 Census."

As you can see in the 1910 U.S. Census, although only two were still living at home, Nannie stated she had three surviving children at the time.

[Year: 1910; Census Place: Justice Precinct 1, Johnson, Texas; Roll: T624_1569; Page: 17B; Enumeration District: 0042; FHL microfilm: 1375582. Ancestry.com. 1910 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2006. Original data: Thirteenth Census of the United States, Washington, D.C.]

His maternal grandfather was Henry Hill Freeman so we assumed that Henry's middle name was probably Hill too but never found a trace of that name in subsequent censuses, military or school records, or Texas death records. In our family tree Henry's profile ended in 1900. What happened to him?

Last Sunday night, since I planned to write about my great great grandmother Nannie Freeman Warren in my Monday Is for Mothers post, it seemed a good idea to take another look for her oldest son. I knew from experience that trying to locate a Henry H. Warren had proved fruitless so I decided to see what an Ancestry.com search for an H. Warren would turn up.

[Ancestry.com]

Well, the age was right and we thought there was a "Hill" in his name but Connecticut? However the next record, from Social Security Applications and Claims, 1936-2007 database, was dispositive:

[Ancestry.com. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA:

Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2015.]

I had found my missing great uncle!

We still haven't found Hill Freeman Warren* in the 1910 U.S. Census but we know where he was in 1915--studying medicine at Vanderbilt University. We even have a portrait of him.

[Ancestry.com. U.S., School Yearbooks, 1880-2012 (database on-line).]

[Detail of above yearbook page]

Hill was active in college sports. How good was he? A student representative speaking for Vanderbilt's Medical Department at a Faculty-Senior Dinner on April 16, 1915, said in part:

[Vanderbilt University Quarterly, Volume 15. page 114.

Source: Google Books]

From records published during World War II listing retired naval officers we learn than Hill enlisted as an assistant surgeon in the U.S. Navy on August 20, 1917, was ranked a lieutenant on June 6, 1920 and left the service on October 22, 1923.

[Ancestry.com. U.S., Select Military Registers, 1862-1985 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2013. This collection was indexed by Ancestry World Archives Project contributors. Original data: United States Military Registers, 1902–1985. Salem, Oregon: Oregon State Library.]

From the 1920 U.S. Census we learn that Hill was then living in Newport, Rhode Island, with his Connecticut-born wife Grace (Morris) Warren.

[Year: 1920; Census Place: Newport Ward 5, Newport, Rhode Island; Roll: T625_1670; Page: 1B; Enumeration District: 59; Image: 1095. Ancestry.com. 1920 United States Federal Census [database on-line].

Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C.]

The couple's firstborn, Morris Hill Warren. was born in 1921 and their second child, Elizabeth, came into the world on May 20, 1923, only three weeks after my father Tracy Stuart Warren's birth in Texas.

By the 1930 U.S. Census, Hill, Grace and their family were settled in New London, Connecticut, and he was a general practitioner. His mother-in-law Grace (Morley) Morris was living with them. (They owned their house but didn't have a radio.)

[Year: 1930; Census Place: New London, New London, Connecticut; Roll: 282; Page: 6B; Enumeration District: 0026; Image: 317.0; FHL microfilm: 2340017.

Fifteenth Census of the United States, 1930. Washington, D.C.]

All five of  them were still living together in New London in the 1940 U.S. Census and Hill was now calling himself "Physician & Surgeon."

[Year: 1940; Census Place: New London, New London, Connecticut; Roll: T627_524; Page: 10B; Enumeration District: 6-44. Ancestry.com. 1940 United States Federal Census [database on-line].

And the Warrens are listed in the 1945 New London City Directory.**

[Ancestry.com - U.S. City Directories, 1822-1995]

As i knew from the first post-1900 record I found, my "lost" great uncle died on October 13, 1956 in Hartford, Connecticut. So far I haven't located his obituary or place of burial.




*He appears never to have used his first name as an adult.
**Checking the listings, Grace Morris was still living with them.

Monday Is for Mothers: Orinda "Rinda" Lippett (1762 - After 1820)

By 1767 when Rinda was about five years old, the Lippett family left their home in Scituate, Providence County, Rhode Island, and moved to Berkshire County in western Massachusetts. Her father John and his brother Hezekiah opened the first general store in North Adams.

Several years later Peter Worden joined the community as the Elder of the Baptist Church in New Providence (later changed to Cheshire) and his large family included his 11-year-old son Richmond.

Elder Peter Worden strongly supported the Revolution and probably encouraged Richmond's original three-month enlistment in the local militia in January of 1776 and subsequent periods of active duty.* At the end of 1780 Richmond received his final discharge in Vermont and lived there for several years. Sometime around 1782 Rinda and Richmond were married, probably in Cheshire; their first child, a son named Welcome, was born the following year.

Engraved by Joseph Callender and Samuel Hill, Boston, 1801. Vignette Drawn by G. Graham. Source: David Rumsey Historical Map Collection.]

From Richmond's 1832 and 1833 pension applications we know where and when Richmond, Rinda and their children moved over the years and we can follow them through census records, although since only the head of household is named, Rinda is accounted for only in the appropriate column for her age group in each census. 

"That he lived in Shaftsbury [Vermont] Two Years, moved back to Cheshire Massachusetts lived there about thirteen Years, then moved to Schuyler Herkimer County where he lived thirteen Years, he then moved to Cayuga and lived in the Town of Brutus in said county Twelve Years, when he removed to his present place of residence where he has resided ever since..."**

So we find them in Schuyler Township in Herkimer County, New York, in the 1800 U.S. Census.

Original data: Second Census of the United States, 1800. NARA microfilm publication M32 (52 rolls). Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C.]

And in the 1810 U.S. Census the Wordens were in Aurelius, Cayuga County in New York.

[Ancestry.com. 1810 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2010. Images reproduced by FamilySearch. Original data: Third Census of the United States, 1810. (NARA microfilm publication M252, 71 rolls). Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C.]

In the 1820 U.S. Census enumeration the Worden household is in the Township of Oswego in Oswego County, New York.

[1820 U S Census; Census Place: Oswego, Oswego, New York; Page: 10; NARA Roll: M33_79; Image: 21. Ancestry.com. 1820 United States Federal Census [database on-line].

Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C.]

Orinda and Richmond had at least nine children, including twin boys Lippett and Lymond*** who were born in 1791.

Unfortunately when Richmond didn't mention his wife or children in his pension applications. He stated that he was still living in Oswego but there's no census record in his name in 1830 so we don't know when Orinda died. She's undoubtedly buried in Oswego County but the location of her grave is unknown.

Monday Is for Mothers: Mercy Moone (1723 - 1805)

I've been waiting for the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) to add the genealogical sketch of Elder Peter Worden, Sr., my maternal sixth great grandfather, to their database Western Massachusetts Families in 1790. It finally happened just before Christmas and had information that's new to me, including some about his wife Mercy* Moone.

Mercy, the daughter of Ebenezer Moon(e) and his wife Elizabeth, was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, possibly on November 10, 1723 (apparently her birth record was partially destroyed in a fire in the 1890s so the year is uncertain).

[Detail from A map of the colonies in Connecticut and Rhode Island, divided by counties & townships, from best authorities. Thomas Kitchin, London, 1758. Source: Library of Congress Geography and Map Division Washington, D.C.]

She married Peter Worden on August 18, 1749, in Coventry, northwest of her home town. Since Peter was born in 1728, his new wife could have been as much as five years older than he.

Peter served as Elder of the Baptist Church in Coventry and part of Warwick but by the 1760s falling church attendance and their growing family put strains on Peter's resources so when the chance to relocate to western Massachusetts arose in about 1770, the couple readily agreed to the move. They settled in New Providence, now known as Cheshire, in Berkshire County.

[Detail from Massachusetts, D.F. Sotzmann, Carl Ernst. Bohn, Paulus Schmidt (Engraver), Hamburg, Germany, 1796.

Source: Library of Congress Geography and Map Division Washington, D.C.]

Other than two lists of church members, there is no mention of Mercy in public records but when Elder Peter made his will on April 18, 1804, in it he called on their son Peter, whom he named executor, to take care of Mercy because she "is reduced in her rational and animal powers." 

Elder Peter survived Mercy who died on December 6, 1805. Her age at death is given as 80 but that could be the result of rounding.

I descend from this couple through their son Richmond Worden and his wife Orinda Lippett whose son Lyman married Elizabeth Brown--and the next generation is represented by my three times great grandparents, Porter Worden and Hannah Leonard, the earliest of my ancestors that we have a photograph of.


*There is some confusion about what her given name was--both Mary and Mercy appear in records. The sketch considers Mercy to be "probably correct" and spells her surname with a final "e".

Monday Is for Mothers: Hannah Field (About 1642 - About 1703)

[Roger Williams Welcoming Settlers to Providence, Roger Williams National Memorial, National Park Service]

Although there's general agreement that her father was John Field, one of the earliest settlers in Providence, Rhode Island,* there are those who believe that Hannah Field's mother was Ruth Fairbanks. But the only Ruth Fairbanks I've found in the records was a woman who married Robert Field in 1624 and moved to New York. Torrey** isn't even certain that the given name of Hannah's mother was Ruth.

[Torrey's New England Marriages to 1700, Volume 1, Page: 539
via New England Historical Genealogical Society's wedsite americanancestors.org]

Hannah, my eighth maternal great grandmother, was probably born about 1640 in Providence and appears to be the oldest child of John and ?Ruth, followed by at least three brothers and a sister.

The next record I've found for Hannah is that of her marriage to James Mathewson (once again from Torrey) and the newlyweds continued living in Providence.

[Torrey's New England Marriages to 1700, Volume 2, Page: 1014
via New England Historical Genealogical Society's wedsite americanancestors.org]

The couple had nine children during the twenty years of their marriage and Hannah was pregnant with the last one, my direct ancestor Daniel, when James made his will about four month before he died, on December 3, 1682. Daniel was born nearly two months after his father's death.***

[The early records of the town of Providence, v. I-XXI ... v.4. Providence (R.I.). page 128;

Original from Cornell University via HathiTrust Digital Books]

Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate a scan of James Mathewson's will but here is a transcription that retains the antiquated spelling:****

"I James Mathewson of ye Towne of Providence being weake of body yet haveing my perfect Memory, Doe make my last will & testament as followeth,
First I Comett my body to ye dust & my Spirit to God that gave it.
Secondly I give to my son James six score acres of land with all ye Comonage betweene ye seven mile line & ye foure.
Thirdly I give to my son Thomas Twenty one acrs of land which I bought of Daniell Browne, with Twenty acres which I had of ye Towne.
Fourthly, I give to all my sons Equall alike all my share of land beyond ye seven mile line.
Fifthly, I Give to my son Zachariah, & ye Child unborne, if it be a son; my house & land, & three five acre Lotts lieing up Naspatuckett River with the land at ye Round Cove, But if it be a daughter, then it all remaines to my son Zachariah.
Lastly I make my beloved wife Hannah Sole Exsecutrix of all my mooveables of household goodes, & Cattells what so Ever to despose to my Daughters as shee shall see cause. This being my last will & teastement, Jn wittnesse hereof I sett to my hand & seale this twenty foure day of August 1682:

Signed & sealed in ye James Mathewson presence of
William Hopkins his X marke
Eward London"

In 1687 Hannah was taxed as the widow of James Mathewson but sometime after that she married Henry Brown***** whom she survived, although she declined to act as his executor, ceding that chore to her stepsons.

And after that, Hannah Field Mathewson Brown disappears from the records. It's presumed that she died and is buried in Providence where she had lived her whole life.

I've included a video about Roger Williams (1603-1683) the most famous of the founders of Rhode Island and the founder of the first Baptist Church in America. He would have been a familiar figure to my ancestors.

Monday Is for Mothers: Elizabeth Mott (1629 - 1694)

Elizabeth Mott was only six years old when she left her homeland with her father Adam, her new stepmother Sarah, three older brothers and younger stepsister in a ship named Defense that departed from London in July of 1635. After landing in New England the Mott family lived first in Roxbury, then moved to Hingham, and finally settled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island by 1638, probably in search of greater religious freedom.

While there are a number of references to Adam Mott and his sons in early Portsmouth records*, we know nothing about Elizabeth until her marriage to Edward Thurston in Newport in June of 1647.** They were members of the Society of Friends, better known as Quakers.

[Ancestry.com. U.S., New England Marriages Prior to 1700 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2012. Original data: Torry, Clarence A. New England Marriages Prior to 1700.* Baltimore, MD, USA: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2004.]

As far as we know, Elizabeth and Edward lived in Newport for the rest of their lives. Elizabeth died at the age of 65 in 1694 and is buried in the Coddington Burial Ground where Edward joined her in 1707.

The Newport Historical Society has a video titled Colonial Newport: An American Experiment that provides a useful review of early Rhode Island history.

*As can be found by a search of the Mott name in The Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth.
