3951

The immediate source for her, the baptism of daughter Anna Maria Gudenrath, is the only record that has her given name as "Catharina" rather than "Elisabeth."

Batsche, Elisabeth (I4564)

3952

The last name is sometimes rendered "Ponz"

Puntus, Anna Katherina Elisabethe (I3110)

3953

The last two digits of the year are illegible in the Woburn record; however the births are in chronological order and this birth falls between a spring 1701 and spring 1704 birth. The Lexington record gives both birth and baptism dates in full.

Blodget, Sergeant Samuel (I2271)

3954

The location was then in Clermont Co., Brown Co. being organized in 1817

Kimball, Hazen (I2088)

3955

The Manhattan and A A Taylor mills were owned by the same company

Henry, Eugene James (I3927)

3956

The marriage is also recorded on 24 August 1819 in Irsengund, Oberreute, Lindau, Bayern, Germany, which may have been Martin's home church. Perhaps only banns were published in Neunkirchen?

Family F1399

3957

The marriage is recorded in the parish records of Weiler im Allgäu; the place of marriage is not specifically noted; the bride is from Augsburg and so perhaps the marriage was there.

Family F2009

3958

The marriage record notes that there was no license but that banns were published

Family F1128

3959

The marriage record to Mary Mighell indicates he was the son of "James"

The Mason County tax rolls of 1880 do not specifically list his occupation, however, he owned no land but apparently some equipment that would be used in farming

Eaton, John (I0910)

3962

The month and first three digits of the year are all that is legible. Their first known child was born in the spring of 1686

Family F410

3963

The month is indistinct in the record but must be after August.

Family F2021

3964

The official death record misidentifies his wife as "Madeleine Schneider."

Wallet, Laurent (I2479)

3965

The only information in the record other than name and date is "munitus smtis ætatis .." and so we cannot be sure this record is for this person, but it is very likely the case. (29 Nov 2021)

Krehe, Johann (I4505)

3966

The original will includes an addendum dated 7 May 1802 mentioning a son John; his recent purchase of a colt "with his own money" is willed not to diminish his share in the estate; the addendum is noted to be unproven.

THE ORIGINS OF THE DANIELSON FAMILY

By Marcella Pasay

Reading early histories of the area one may be led to believe that James Danielson arrived in Connecticut almost directly from Scotland. Some texts refer to his being "of New Shoreham" (now Block Island, RI) at the time he buys land in Pomfret in 1706. Where did he come from? In RI Genealogies, in the chapter entitled "Early Block Island Families, we read:

"Some of the first proprietors in Dorchester and Braintree did not go to Block Island in person but sent agents and factors, among them several of the Scots from the Braintree iron works, who left numerous descendants on the island. Among these may be mentioned William Tosh (McIntosh, Duncan Ross alias Tormut Rose, Alexander Enos (Innis), Duncan McWilliamson, Robert Guttridge, James Danielson, and others."

What was James Danielson's connection with the Braintree iron works? Established in the mid-seventeenth century on the Saugus River, the iron works recruited "skilled and unskilled, free and indentured" workers. Among the indentured were a number of Scots prisoners taken at the Battles of Preston and Dunbar and Worcester. Was James Danielson, namesake of the Borough, a Scots prisoner? No. James was born in 1648/1649. These battles took place within a few years after his birth. Searching the New Shoreham records, however, we read:

"James Danelson Juner his Marke being the marke?."

It was, in fact, his father, James, who first arrived in New England, probably not as a prisoner, but as a skilled worker from Scotland. Prisoners were not allowed to bring their families and were not paid much. According to the New England Genealogical Register (vol. 6, p. 250) and the Essex Quarterly Court Files, a James Danielson resided in Braintree and gave a deposition in 1653. It states he was twenty years old but he was most likely older. (If James, Jr., was born in 1648 his father would only have been fifteen years old in 1653.)

There are no further records of this first James, his wife, or what happened to them. It may be that when his work was completed he returned to Scotland and left his son as an apprentice in Braintree. James, Jr., must have been a trusted employee and exhibited good business sense to be selected as an agent for the New Shoreham enterprise. He must also have had some capital of his own in order to begin his land purchases.

James did very well on the island buying and selling property and building a cattle herd. He married twice and each wife bore him a son. When he arrived in Connecticut James and Samuel accompanied he and his wife, Mary.

At least one historical account mentions a son, William, but there is no record of his birth or death and he is not mentioned in his father's will. There is a William Danielson in the Pomfret land records but the property does not seem to be in any way adjoining or part of the Danielson property. There are no land transactions recorded between the aforementioned William and the other Danielsons. The surname of William may well be a corruption of Dennison as the early text is not clear. Until other records are found, we must exclude this William from the family of James.

James Danielson was on the roster of the Saugus Iron Works in 1653. He died in 1728 in Killingly, Ct. The epitaph on his tomb stone says he died in the 80th year of his life so that makes his birth date abt. 1648. The battles that he was supposed to be captured at and sent to this country as a prisoner took place in 1650 and 1653 so there no way he could have been sent as a prisoner. He gave a deposition while at the iron works in 1653 which stated that he was 20 years old. That would have made his birth date 1633 in Scotland. David P. Wilson, researcher of Ct. genealogy found a book of Rhode Island records in the library at ECSU, that listed James Danielson being made a free man May 5, 1696. Since James Jr. was born 5/15/ 1687 he would have been 9 years old, so this was apparently James Sr. The info from my mother's 30 year research into her family reflects the following: James Danielson was resident of Ayrshire, Scotland. He settled at Block Island in May 1683.

The reason for the move to America has been explained by being a prisoner in Scotland of a war with England and being sold or forced to immigrate as an indentured servant for 10 years at an iron works on Block Island. The iron works went out of business and he became a free man. This info came from Helen Winslow Mansfield, historian at Block Island in letters dated in 1952. The other explanation is that he came of his free will to work for the iron works. Which ever was true, he became an important and influential citizen with much land on the island before selling and moving to Killingly, Conn. The records we have shows land purchases of 170 acres on the island between 1686 and 1696. He sold 124 acres of land and a mansion house on the island to Thomas Mitchell for 545 pounds. He already lived in Conn. at that time.
We do not know when he moved to Conn. but they still bought Block Island property in 1704 and started selling it in 1705. If the arrival date is correct, he would have been about 35 years old and two years later he married Hannah George Rose (widow of Tormut Rose) on 3/11/1685. She died abt. 1693 in New Shoreham, RI. He then remarried Mary Tosh (MacIntosh) at New Shoreham, RI (Block Island) 1/22/1700. He had three children: James B. , John B., Samuel B. The Killingly, Conn. Donaldsons (Danielsons) are descended from Samuel. Anita Leon, of NYC, now deceased, was a family historian.

In a letter to my mother, Harriet H. Donaldson, she said that James 1st wife was Abilgail by who he had a son, John. There is no record of a wife Abigail on BI and no record of the date of birth for John on BI. My mother speculated that John was born in Scotland and his mother Abigail died there. This would explain the missing info on BI. There is more info about property purchases, etc. but too much to list here. Send Email for more info if interested. He is buried at the Old Westfield Cemetery which is the cemetery he gave to the community.

Danielson, Sergeant James (I1147)

3968

The provisions of the original will led to about thirty years of dispute and resolution between the heirs and was in no way better (and in many ways worse) than there having been no will at all. The intent was for all the children, sons and daughters alike, to come away with an equal share of the estate, accounting for any gifts of land ("deeds of gift formerly by me made") and for any expenses incurred caring for Daniel Ladd or wife Ann. A later provision not quoted here requires the children to pay the estate's debts in equal proportion. Thus the estate had to then pay for a complete inventory of not only all of the land and items in Daniel Ladd's possession when he died, but also all land he had ever owned and gifted to any of his children. In addition, the heirs had to total all expenses and allow for time and trouble taken if any of them had any part of caring for Daniel or Mrs. Ladd at any point. To further complicate matters, one of the children was already dead and two more died within five years, increasing the burden of portioning out the estate to now include grandchildren--who would then be required to pay some portion of their grandfather's debts!

Ladd, Daniel (I3455)

3969

The quitclaim deed gives "Marey" as the name, and contains a number of other questionable spelling choices

Hanna, Mary (I4277)

3970

The record clearly states "third day of April" but the wedding is likely to have actually been on the thirtieth day of April.

Family F1978

3971

The record does not mention a burial date; it was probably on the day she died

Untereiner, Anna Magdalena (I2609)

3972

The record incorrectly gives his age as 92 years; he was three weeks shy of 82 years old.

Flottel, Herman (I4554)

3973

The record is undated except to say "689." It appears between records dated 27 Apr 1689 and 10 Aug 1689.

Groote, Anna Margaretha (I4663)

3974

The record notes he had taken Communion, apparently for the first time, on April 14th, and was a good man.

Blommenthal, Johan Simon (I4536)

3975

The record states "mortuus occitus in via silvæ", or "died on the forest road." A note in the margin says "trouvé assassiné au Burgerwald," or "found murdered in the town's forest." This would have been an area within the village limits (today, within the "Commune") that was kept wooded as a resource for the residents.

Heim, Philippe (I4789)

3976

The regiment was ordered to Richmond, Virginia shortly after entering service in Jul 1861. Jackson Pate died at Richmond. The regiment left Richmond in Sep 1862

Pate, Jackson A (I831)

3977

The Rowley town record does not give a specific date. English forces, including two Massachusetts regiments, laid siege to Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal), Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, Canada twice in 1707; the first time in May/June and again in August. Neither siege was successful. A contemporaneous diary gives "Aug. ye 13, being wensday ... Lieutenant Gage killed by a great shot in his tent." (sic.)

Gage, Thomas (I3095)

3978

The son Samuel who is given a contingent heir, Rowland Thomas, did, indeed die without heirs in 1701 at age 38 or 39

Thomas, Rowland (I1350)

3979

The source does not give a birthplace, but it was most likely Epe. (22 Sep 2021)

Nieporte, Maria Elizabeth (I4423)

3980

The source does not give a first name or sex.

Blomendaels, FNU (I4549)

3981

The source does not give a place of death. (2021 Sep 23)

Schulte, Anna Margaretha (I2830)

3982

The source does not give the place of birth but it is most likely Epe (22 Sep 2021)

Nieporte, Heinrich Rudolph (I4421)

3983

The source does not give the place of death; it was likely to have been Epe. (2021 Sep 23)

Nieporte, Maria Elizabeth (I4423)

3984

The source does not record the last digit of the year but does show her as the last child born in Salem of this couple

Flint, Ann (I3875)

3985

The source does not specify the place of death; it is very likely to have been Epe. (2021 Sep 23)

Nieporte, Franz Heinrich (I2755)

3986

The source gives no date for burial but it was likely on the date of death

Untereiner, Simon (I2577)

3987

The source lists him twice; it is safe to assume he moved from his father's house to his brother's house during the canvassing for the directory

Nieporte, August H (I2772)

3988

The source record (marriage of Jacob Laubacher and Salome Chor) is very clear but gives her name as Margaretha Dauglerin. The feminine form of "Daul" would normally be "Daulin" or "Daulerin."

Daulin, Anna Maria (I4767)

3989

The source record names "Johannem Franciscum." However, the godfather on record was Caspar Roswinkel; children were nearly always named after their godparent. We believe the priest recorded the name incorrectly; this family had another male child also named Johan Francis in 1728. While this is known in cases where the first child dies in infancy, it was not common. Here, no other Gudenrath family was having children in Malgarten at the time (or for many years before and after).

Gudenrath, Caspar (I4563)

3990

The source says 1301 but this is probably intended to be 2301

Snyder, Louisa Ellen (I2826)

3991

The sources disagree slightly as to the date; headstone and town records give 1 Mar 1738, as does one of the probate papers, while another probate paper gives 6 Mar 1738. We use the consensus date of 1 Mar 1738.

Sawyer, Joshua (I2392)

3992

The surname "Broadroom" may be an Anglicization of a French name. The marriage return shows her name as "Frances Agness"

Broadroom, Mary Frances (I2503)

3993

The surname appears in slightly different forms, usually Langenkampf, throughout Rieste records. (29 Sep 2022)

Lankamp, Maria (I4714)

3994

The surname could be read as "Perrolas" or "Perrolar" in some records but people living in Magland today are named Perrollaz. It is possible to compare against words such as "onze" and "Suzanne" to determine that the last letter of the name is a 'z.'

Perrolaz, Marin Joseph (I4739)

3995

The Thomas Wadsworth household in the 1840 census shows a woman aged 30 to 39 (i.e. born between 1801 and 1810) but the Julius Nichols estate file lists her before brother Fountain who was born 1808

Nichols, Nancy (I1880)

3996

The three available censuses give his birth year as 1851, 1852 and 1853

McDowell, William (I2762)

3997

The town of Barnstable was at this time part of Plymouth Colony

Fuller, Samuel (I2080)

3998

The town of Dedham was then located in Suffolk County, Norfolk County being created in 1793

Whiting, Nathaniel (I1274)

3999

The town of Mendon was then located in Suffolk County; Worcester County was not organized till 1731

Chapin, Josiah (I1233)

4000

The town of Plainfield was included in Hartford County at the time

Mighell, Nathaniel (I1149)
