| 4101 | Thomas was born in Rattlesden, Suffolk county, England, in 1633, and was one year old when he came to New England with his parents. He later went to Ipswich, and was living in Hampton, New Hampshire, 20 Oct 1653, and was the owner of mill property there on Oyster river. He made his home at that place as late as 1660. He afterwards removed to that portion of Rowley which is included in the present town of Bradford, Massachusetts. Previous to 1675 the section where Thomas and his brother Benjamin lived was within the limits of Rowley, but the locality was called Merrimac when Thomas was elected constable on 20 Feb 1668-9. His house was one of legal places for posting and "publishing any orders or other business of public concernment to the whole town." His house was situated on the Boxford road, and its situation can still be located. At that place he lived and prospered for about ten years. He was a mechanic and a thrifty farmer, owning over four hundred acres of land and a large amount of personal property, as is shown by the inventory of his estate. At that time skulking Indians continually annoyed the white inhabitants. The Merrimack river was a pathway; the Indians could make rapid sallies upon the settlements and make their escape without penetrating the forests. Haverhill had been attacked with all the cruelty of the savages. On the night of 2 May 1676, three well known "converted" (half civilized) Indians, Peter, Andrew and Symon, were intending to kill some parties in Rowley, but the night being far advanced, they wreaked their vengeance on the Kimballs. Thomas Kimball was killed by Symon, and his wife and five children, namely, Joanna, Thomas, Joseph, Priscilla, and John were taken captive and carried forty miles into the wilderness, where they remained forty-one days, and were freed without ransom by the friendly offices of the chief Wanalancet, of the Penacook Indians. Her own life and that of her infant were threatened, and twice the fires lighted to burn them. They reached their home 13 June 1676. Great was the anguish of their friends during their captivity, and on 3 May 1676, her pious parents in Ipswich asked prayers on the Sabbath that they might be delivered. Subsequently she addressed a petition to the Governor and Council that she might be protected from Symon, the Indian, who had threatened to kill her and her children if she returned to her own house. The three Indians were seized and confined in jail, but escaped and pursued their course of blood most mercilessly thereafter, and their subsequent fate is unknown. They were semi-civilized and had worked for and lived a great deal with the white people. Thomas Kimball married Mary Smith, daughter of Thomas and Joanna Smith of Ipswich, about 1655, as is shown by the following note from the records of Salem: "Nov. 18, 1686 Richard and Benjamin Kimball of Bradford did covenant to and with the Selectmen of Ipswich that they would take Thomas Smith and his wife to Bradford to the house of Mary Kimball, widow of Thomas Kimball and provide their Meate, drink, washing, lodgeing, clothes and attendance with all things necessary for persons in such condition for the space of one year beginning at the date hereof, the price for a year to be £25. Dec. 8, 1687 Agreed with Richard Kimball of Bradfordd to allow unto him further keeping and providing for his grandfather Thomas Smith for the year ensuing £13." According to this Joanna Smith had probably died during the year. The name of Thomas occurs very frequently on the early records of the town of Merrimac. Until the time of his death he always held some town office, being frequently selectman. | Kimball, Thomas (I2193)
|
| 4102 | Thompson and Elizabeth were of Lunenburg Co., Virginia. | Staples, Thompson (I277)
|
| 4103 | Thought perhaps to have died in the 1830s in McNairy Co., Tennessee. Probate records of McNairy County do not date back to the 1830s due to record loss; deed index of McNairy County from the 1820s through the 1850s shows only one McCaleb entry, a land sale by an Alx McCaleb in the 1840s. Estate records of his brother, Andrew, indicate an attorney was representing him in Stokes County by the mid-1820's, perhaps because he had moved away to Tennessee.

|
| 4104 | Thought to have been married before 1749 in Carteret Co., North Carolina | Family F1518
|
| 4105 | Three Daniel Hoveys were probated in Worcester Co., Massachusetts by 1800; none can be clearly determined to be this man | Hovey, Daniel (I3543)
|
| 4106 | Three different burial records appear 1716-1720 in Wallenhorst for women named "Anna Feldmuller" (spelling varies). The record cited here gives the name as Anna Margaretha Feldmuller; in Germany at this time it would have been more common to retain her maiden name, so there is room for doubt as to whether this is the correct record. However, of the three possible records, this is the only one with a middle name and it coincides. | Niehuß, Anna Margaret (I4443)
|
| 4107 | Three different burial records appear 1716-1720 in Wallenhorst for women named "Anna Feldmuller" (spelling varies). The burial record cited here gives no middle name and is several months before Stephan vor der Nienporte remarries. | Feldtmöller, Anna Maria (I2836)
|
| 4108 | Three members of one family died recently at Rays Hill, Monday, February 11, son, Charles Ross Swartzwelder, of pneumonia. On Tuesday following his mother, Louisiana Swartzwelder, followed him and on the next Monday the father, Philip Swartzwelder passed over the river. (February 2, 1895) | Swartzwelder, Philip (I2985)
|
| 4109 | Three of his children, Hugh W, Martha A and Mary J Lauderdale, petitioned their brother, Ephraim L Lauderdale to be their guardian on 6 Feb 1857, referring to themselves as "minor heirs of Thomas J Lauderdale and Barbery Lauderdale." | Lauderdale, Thomas Jones (I818)
|
| 4110 | Three sons and three daughters were born to this marriage. | Family F989
|
| 4111 | Timothy Danielson was the son of John Danielson and Margaret Mighill, and the husband of (1) Beulah Winchester and (2) Elizabeth Sykes. He graduated with a theology degree from Yale College in 1756, but chose not to become a minister. He first became a teacher, then a trader, and finally an officer in the army. When the American Revolution began he immediately joined and was rapidly promoted, reaching the rank of Brigadier General during the war. General Horatio Gates commended him for his energy in recruiting soldiers and forwarding supplies to the army during the war. He was a member of the first and second Provisional Congress, serving as chairman of the military committee. After the war he was a senior major general of the MA state militia. Although not a lawyer he was also appointed Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for Hampshire County, MA. Upon his death he left an estate worth 1,658 pounds, including a library of forty volumes. According to oral family history, Gen. Danielson had a "Herculean frame, combined with Herculean strength." Timothy's male line died out with the early death of his two sons. His nephews and cousins changed the family surname from "Danielson" to "Donaldson," believing that "Donaldson" was the original family surname back in 1600's Scotland. | Danielson, Honorable General Timothy (I1119)

| 4139 | United States Army Officer. He served in the Continental Army from 1780 to 1783 and attained the rank of Sergeant. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1790 and was Clerk of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1791 to 1792. He reentered the Army as a Captain in 1792 and served until 1799. In 1799 he was appointed Consul in Tunis, where he negotiated unsuccessfully to end annual tribute payments for allowing American ships to trade in the Mediterranean. Eaton returned to the United States in 1803 and in 1804 went back to North Africa with a Naval fleet. Upon discovering that the ruler in Tripoli had recently come to power by deposing his brother, Eaton determined to end interference with American ships by restoring the brother to power. Assembling a force including 400 Arabs and 100 Greeks and Americans, the self-styled "General" Eaton attacked the provincial capital of Derna. Eaton was wounded, and his attack enabled US Consul Tobias Lear to negotiate a treaty that left Tripoli's ruler in power, but ended annual United States tribute payments. On Eaton's return to America he was received as a hero, but failed to obtain compensation for his personal expenses. Massachusetts later granted him 10,000 acres of land and he settled in Brimfield. Aaron Burr attempted to enlist Eaton in his 1806 expedition, but Eaton declined and later testified at Burr's treason trial. From 1807 to 1808 Eaton served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The town of Eaton, New York is named for him. (bio by: Bill McKern) | Eaton, William (I3241)

| 4140 | Unlike all later children of Johann Heinrich (Burlage) Mecklenfeld, Maria Gertrud Elisabeth's baptism record records her father's surname only as Burlage and not as Mecklenfeld (or as something that translates as "born Burlage, called Mecklenfeld"). She appears as Mecklenfeld in later records. | Mecklenfeld, Maria Gertrud Elisabeth (I4613)
