| 1608 | James Hunt resided in Jamestown, Hanover, Lunenburg, Pittsylvania, Halifax and Charlotte Counties, Virginia. At the age of 74, he volunteered for the Revolutionary Army with his grandson, John Wimbish. He was a Presbyterian, and his funeral was preached by Dr. Archibald Alexander, who wrote of Mr. Hunt (see The Life of Archibald Alexander, D.D. pp. 137-) He was the father of Rev. James Hunt of Montgomery Co., Maryland. James Hunt had land deeded from King George II in Halifax Co., Virginia in 1761. He enlisted in Captain Thomas Tweatt's Co. of the 14th Va. Regt., as a Corporal. This regt. commanded by Col. Charles Lewis. He was promoted to Sergeant Major and in early Spring of 1779, he became a member of the 10th Va. Regt. His name is found last on the muster roll the 9th of Dec. 1779. He left a will in Charlotte Co., Va. Pittsylvania Co., Va. history says: "James & Ralph (?) of Hanover, Va., in 1746 bought land in Lunenburg Co., Va. There James Hunt reared a large family (m. Sarah Whitlock) leaving 7 sons. "He died at his home on the Staunton River". "Patrick Henry attended his funeral." His home was near Patrick Henry's home, "Red Hill" in Charlotte Co., Va. Andrea I, pg. 23 states "his family came from Virginia to N.C. and on into Spartanburg, S. Carolina." | Hunt, James (I443)

|
| 1610 | James Logan was born in 1835, Fayette County, Alabama to Robert "Bob" Logan and Virginia Jane "Jennie" McCaleb. The Logans were staunch Republicans and Church of Christ believers. Robert had been raised as a Presbyterian but was supposedly converted by Andrew Campbell. The eight brothers, born between 1823 and 1847 all supported the Union cause although the oldest, Daniel Lapsley "Lap" Logan could not enlist for medical reasons. Because of a hernia, he was unable to serve in the Union Army with his brothers but he helped build bridges for the Union forces. It is possible Lap died from tuberculosis although it is rumored he was murdered and his body tied on the back of horse, taken home, and thrown into the yard. James enlisted as a private in the Union Army in Limestone County, Alabama. He was signed in by Captain Canfield, for three years with Company K, 1st Regiment, Alabama Calvary at Huntsville, Alabama on July 1, 1862. He was transferred to Captain Smith's Company, 1st Regiment, Alabama Calvary, at Huntsville, Alabama on August 12, 1862. His service records show that he was with Company E, 1st Regiment, Middle Tennessee Calvary, by October 31, 1862. In November, he entered Number 4 Army Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee, when he died December 24, 1862 from pneumonia. He was buried in Nashville City Cemetery, Davidson County, Tennessee, grave marker number 2059. James received a land grant in 1856 and had been a farmer in Fayette County, Alabama prior to his enlistment. He never married. -- Donna W Collins | Logan, James M (I368)

| 1619 | Jeremiah Hess was born about 1675. He first appears in Mutterstadt, Germany, at the beginning of the 18th century. (1) Married a woman named Anna. (2) Children: (3) Peter, possibly born in 1703. Hans Conrad, born May 3, 1705. Died in Ireland. Elisabeth, born Oct. 21, 1708. Died in Ireland. Christian, born July 14, 1713. Died in Mutterstadt. Hans Conrad, baptized Aug. 19, 1714. Balthasar (usually Baltzar in America), baptized Dec. 8, 1717. Eva. The Hess family first appears in Mutterstadt, which is southwest of Mannheim in the modern state of Rheinland-Pfalz. In her study of the immigrant from Mutterstadt to Pennsylvania, Annette K. Burgert says that the town was uninhabited following the Thirty Years? War (1618-1648). The village was slowly repopulated by migrants from France, Switzerland and other parts of Germany. (4) However, the Pfalz continued to be a poor and troubled region, causing many to move elsewhere. Many fled to Ireland. In 1709, Jeremy Hess and his family appear on the list of immigrants who arrived in England on June 2. Jeremy appears under the heading of husbandmen and vinedressers and is listed as 34 years old and Lutheran. In his party, were his wife; sons, ages 7 and 5; and daughter, age 2. Also on the list are Paul Heyn and Michel Andrus, both of Mutterstadt. (5) Once again, life was hard. Two children ? Hans Conrad and Elisabeth ? died in Ireland. In 1711, the Hess and Heim families were among those who gave up on Ireland and migrated to Holland. (6) The Hesses must have returned to Mutterstadt, where the births of three children are recorded after 1711. (7) Almost 20 years later, Jeremiah and his family again left Germany. In August 1730, Jeremiah arrived in Philadelphia aboard the Thistle of Glasgow, which had sailed from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Also aboard the ship were Thomas and Heinrich Hess, who may have been relatives. A Ludwig Has also appears on this list of immigrants, who qualified on Aug. 29, 1730. (8) In 1730, Jeremias Hess appears as the baptismal sponsor of a child of Johan Georg Schweinhart at Falckner Swamp in what is now Montgomery County. (9) On Sept. 9, 1734, Jeremiah received a warrant for 100 acres in Philadelphia County. (10) Jeremiah and his family settled in Salford in Philadelphia County, according to his will. By the time Jeremiah wrote his will April 28, 1739, Peter and Eva had moved to Maryland. Conrad and Baltzer remained in eastern Pennsylvania. Jeremiah died before April 11, 1743, when his will was proved. (1) "Early Pennsylvania Pioneers from Mutterstadt in the Palatinate," by Annette K. Burgert, page 11. Also in "The Palatine Families of Ireland," by Henry Z. Jones Jr., page 63. (2) Anna is identified by Jones as the daughter of Hans Paulus Heim of Mutterstadt. However, Burgert, who checked the same records, doesn?t make that connection. (3) Peter, Eva, Conrad and Baltzar are listed in Philadelphia County Will Book G, No. 73, as cited in "Collections of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, Vol., IV, Abstracts of Philadelphia Wills, Part II, 1726-1747," page 823. A facsimile of Jeremiah Hess? will appears in "I Shook My Family Tree," by Thelma (Hess) Parsons, pages 170-171. The birth dates come from the Mutterstadt church books, as cited by Burgert, page 11. Irish immigration records cited by Jones and Burgert also indicate that Jeremiah and Anna has a 7-year-old son when he arrived there in 1709. This son may have been Peter.

| 1621 | Jeremiah was born in Bradford, MA on October 15, 1707 and died in Warner, NH on May 18, 1764. He married on January 20, 1732 to Elizabeth Head. He was a resident of Bradford on April 8, 1732, when he and his brother, David of Concord, NH, sold land to Thomas Richardson. He and his wife sold land to James Head in settlement of her father's estate, on June 10, 1734. He lived in Bradford, MA, Hopkinton and Warner, NH. He was buried at the old fort on Putney's hill in Warner. Children were all born in Bradford, MA. | Kimball, Jeremiah (I2148)

In 1309 (2nd year of Edward II 1307-1327), John SWIFT, son of William AUUCHERCHE, granted to Joan, three acres of land in Toketon in Renham, abutting on the lands of Roger, son of Roger de TOKETON [Joan's brother], for 20 marks sterling. Died after 1318. | de Toketon, Joan (I657)

| 1623 | Job H. Martin's Pension Deposition, Summer 1890. In 1890, Job and several witnesses had to appear before Edward Pittis, a special examiner of the pension office, to justify Job's application for a special disability pension for Civil War veterans. Job's personal statement was taken near Job's home in Buffalo Mills, Pa. At the time, Job was 64 years old and worked as Assistant Postmaster in Buffalo Mills (his wife Eve was Postmistress). In his testimony, Job gave the following details about his Civil War service: He was drafted at Chambersburg in July 1864 and reported to McConnelsburg in August. He paid a commutation (most likely 300 dollars) instead of serving in the military. A month or so later, he was again drafted and reported to Captain Oysler (sp?) in Chambersburg, who gave Job permission to return home (to near Warfordsburg?) since he had recently paid a commutation, but to be ready for recall. He was indeed recalled shortly thereafter and reported to the captain near the end of Feb 1865 at Chambersburg. He was assigned to Company H of 97th P.V. He started with about 100 other men to go meet the regiment. Long, hard marches. During day they would drill. They reached regiment about April 1865 at Facit Station, N.C. They remained there about 2 weeks waiting for their guns, drilling every day without them. They got their guns and started the next day for Goldsboro, N.C., and from there to Smithfield, N.C., then to Raleigh. They remained there about 6 weeks, where his regiment was detached to guard hospitals, after which he was discharded (by G.O.) in May 1865. His bunkmates were David T. Fields of McConnellsburg; David Montgomery of Patterson's Mills (Fulton Co); John Glenn of Patterson's Mills; and Adam Gress of McConnellsburg. He was claiming this pension for "diseases of kidneys, heart, and spine." Job claimed that he contracted these ailments about a month after entering the service. After leaving military service, Job lived about 5 miles north of Warfordsburg in Fulton County, Pa. Worked as a bookseller. In Spring 1869, he moved with his family to Buffalo Mills, Bedford County, Pa. From 1869 to about 1875-76, he was engaged in mercantile business and again became a book agent. He could only do "light work" during all this time, like gardening and helping his wife at the post office. Not a week passed, he claimed, that he didn't cough and spit up blood. He claimed to be in excellent health before the service. He was treated now and then between 1887 and 1890 by a Dr. Weller of Hyndman, Pa. and Dr. Musser who lived near Somerset, Pa. David Montgomery appeared as a witness on Job's behalf in July 1890 at Webster Mills, Fulton Co. David was a blacksmith. During war, he was a bunkmate of Job's. He remembered Job was "of a despondent nature and always looked on the dark side." But, "he always seemed willing to do his part when on duty." David Fields appeared as witness at McConnellsburg in July 1890. David was a farmer. He knew Job from boyhood. They used to go to school together. He remembers Job's chronic diarrhea and complaints of pain in his side and back. He, too, remembers Job's "despondent nature." Job would often go to the doctor for medicine, but was "always able for duty." Adam Gress appeared as witness in Todd Township in Fulton Co. Adam was a Farmer. He didn't know Job before the service. He remembers Job saying he was not fit for the service when they first met at Chambersburg. Adam "distinctly remembers" Job's chronic diarrhea. He also remembers Job complaining of rheumatism. He "complained constantly." He was "always low-spirited and constantly sulking about his home." The "boys made considerable sport of his constant complaints and tried all they could to cheer him up." John Glenn appeared as witness at Webster Mills in Fulton Co. in July 1890. He was a "Laborer." He didn't know Job before the service. Job "was a good soldier and performed his duties faithfully." David Winter appeared as witness in Bethel Township in Fulton Co. in July 1890 (his po was at Sideling Hill). David was a blacksmith. He knew Job before the war, and remembered Job as a "stout, hearty man." John Hill appeared as witness in Bethel Township (his post office was at Sideling Hill). John was a farmer. He was 62 in July 1890. He knew Job "for many years before the war." He was "a hearty mann." He remembers that Job complained quite a lot when he returned from the war. He "did not appear to be in good health as he was before the war." John had not seen Job since 1869, when he left for Buffalo Mills. (Editor's Note: the examiner did not ask John if he was related to Job, but I think he may have been. Job's mother, Ruamy, was a Hill; John and Job may have been first cousins.) Abraham M. May appeared as witness in August 1890 at Sulphur Springs in Bedford Co. (his po was at Mann's Choice). He was 65 years old. He was a farmer. He knew Job before the service. He was then "a healthy man." He remembers Job complaining much about back pain when he came back in 1865. Abraham at that time lived "just across the line" in Bedford County from Job's home near Warfordsburg in Fulton. Abraham lived there until about 1868 and often saw Job until that time. Abraham moved into the Buffalo MIlls area about the same time that Job did. He was not related to Job. Jacob W. Hardman appeared as witness in August 1890 at Buffalo Mills. He was 55 years old and a farmer. He had known Job for 30 years or more. He remembers Job between 1858-1863 as a "stout hearty man." He renewed his acquaintance with Job in 1869 when he came to Buffalo Mills. He was a near neighbor. Jacob was a first cousin of Job's wife, Eve (editor's note: exact connection unknown). William Malsberry appeared as witness in August 1890 in Hyndman. He was a millwright and carpenter. William first met Job in 1869. He remembers Job complaining of pain in his back and sides. Mason Burket appeared as witness in August 1890 in Mann's Choice. He was 34 years old. He was a blacksmith. He first met Job about 1874. He was for a time a near neighbor of Job's. Ephraim B. Miller appeared as witness in August 1890 in Buffalo Mills. He was 50 years old and a farmer. He knew Job for thirty years past. He remembers him as a "stout hearty man" before the service. Ephraim resided in Buffalo Mills all of his life. He remembers Job's bad cough after 1869. Ephraim was township supervisor "for many years" as of 1890. He was Job's brother-in-law. William B. Huffman appeared in August 1890 at Buffalo Mills. He was a farmer and 63 years old. He knew Job since 1869. He recalls Job's complaints. William boarded with Job and his family 1872-73. Huffman lived in Somerset Co., Pa., and Garrett Co., Md., from 1875-77. Moved back to Buffalo Mills in 1878. Dr. Frederick S. Weller appeared in August 1890 in Hyndman. He was 60 years old and a physician. He knew Job for 18 years past. He had no knowledge of Job's physical condition before 1885, when he first treated him. He recalls lumbago and disease of heart. | Martin, Job H (I2926)

| 1630 | Johann Conrad Hess was the son of Jeremiah and Anna Hess, who were German immigrants. (1) Married Maria about 1741. Her maiden name may have been Best. She was born about 1722. (2) Children: (3) John William. Christian. Jeremiah, born in 1751. Frederick. Johannes. Maria. Married Jacob Grotz. Elizabeth, bapt. July 23, 1758. Married Jacob Keller. Ann. Married Tobias Scholl. (The Daughters of the American Revolution file for Conrad, which contains known errors, and "History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania," list a Henry Conrad as a son. A younger Conrad does appear as a witness in some records pertaining to the family but is not listed in Conrad?s will or a deed that records the sale of his property after his death.) Conrad seems to have been a prominent man in the early history of Northampton County. He served in county government in the mid-1700s and also operated an inn known as Lofty Oaks on the outskirts of Easton. Upon the formation of the county, Conrad was appointed a supervisor for Williams Township. The appointment was made June 16, 1752. Conrad was appointed a justice of the peace for Northampton County on Nov. 27, 1757. He was among the justices presiding over the Northampton County Orphan?s Court, beginning March 22, 1758 and continuing until at least 1761. On Nov. 27, 1757, a council of colonial officials approved Conrad and others for "the Commission of the Peace for Northhampton." (4) In the 1761 tax lists for Williams Township, he is listed as "Conrad Hess, Esq.," another indication of his standing as a member of the county?s legal community. (5) Conrad appears as a justice at most sessions of the orphan?s court until 1762. (6) Conrad probably held other positions, but I have not confirmed them. "History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania" says he was "prothonotary and Clerk of the Quarter Sessions and Oyer and Terminer from 1760 to 1771." According to a manuscript in the Hess file at the Wyoming Valley Historical Society in Wilkes-Barre, he was appointed to the election board of Northampton County in 1756. Much of the work of the county court may have been done at Conrad?s Lofty Oaks, according to a manuscript in the Hess family file at the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society. "The name Conrad Hess Esq. appears on file in the records of the Orphan?s Court of the County of Northampton in Easton, Pa., for the period 1758-1771. Since the court sessions of the county were held in taverns before the courthouse was built in 1766 it is very likely the Loft Oaks tavern served in this capacity during this period," the item says. Loft Oaks was situated on 157 acres in Williams Township, which was just south of Easton. Conrad received a warrant for the property on March 8, 1743, according to the Hess file at the Northampton society. Land records say Conrad didn?t receive a patent on the land until Sept. 12, 1796. Upon his death, the land was divided among his children, who then sold it in pieces. (7) A brief note on Conrad?s Lofty Oaks Inn is included in "Historic Structures of Williams Township": "A small one and one-half story stone structure, now owned by the Joseph Link family, was once an inn and tavern operated by Conrad Hess. It is located at the intersection of Industrial Drive and Old Philadelphia Road at the northernmost limit of Williams Township. A search of the deeds does not permit an accurate dating of the structure nor a precise time period when is operated under Hess?s management, but a date prior to 1780 would appear plausible. Conrad Hess, son of Baltzer Hess, was a major landowner, citizen, and parishioner of the early Lutheran Church which stood on the site of the Easton Water Reservoir ... He is listed in the 1758 Horse and Wagon Census as Conrad Hess, Esq., and in the 1780 tax rolls as a well-to-do farmer. His son Jeremiah is listed as the innkeeper." (8) The family may have been Lutheran. Elizabeth was baptized in 1758 by the Rev. Daniel Schumacher "in the church at Williamstown across the river." Schumacher was a Lutheran circuit preacher who served various parishes in the region. (9) Conrad died before Feb. 6, 1797, when his will was probated. Maria probably died sometime before 1790 because Conrad is listed as living alone in the 1790 Census of Williams Township. (1) Philadelphia County Will Book G, No. 73, as cited in "Collections of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, Vol., IV, Abstracts of Philadelphia Wills, Part II, 1726-1747," page 823. A facsimile of Jeremiah Hess? will appears in "I Shook My Family Tree," by Thelma (Hess) Parsons, pages 170-171. Much research has been done of Conrad, but some of it seems to be faulty. Manuscripts at the Wyoming Valley Historical Society indicate that several researchers have confused our Conrad and others of the same name. Conrad?s parentage has been a matter of great dispute. Secondary sources are confusing or conflicting. "Historic Structures of Williams Township," page 8, says his father was Baltzer Hess. It seems that there was a Baltzer who was his brother. Conrad?s file with the Daughters of the American Revolution says he was born about 1726 to Swiss immigrant Nicholas and Catherine Hess. However, Nicholas? son Conrad was born in the 1740s, far too late to be our Conrad. The DAR file frequently confuses this Conrad with others of the same name. Concerning his birthplace: I have obtained an abstract and two transcripts of Conrad?s will but have not obtained a copy of the original yet. They are at odds. The will was in German and had to be translated, which probably explains some of the confusion. Conrad was a resident of New Britain Township, according to a transcript in a manuscript focusing on the Hess family, which is available at the Wyoming Valley Historical Society in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and "Abstracts of German Script Wills," page 117, which is available at the Marx Room in the Easton Public Library. (2) Wedding and birth dates and maiden name come from "A History of the Wapwallopen Region," by the Wapwallopen Historical Society, page 54. Other secondary sources cited here mention the connection to the Best family. (3) The children are listed in Northampton County Will Book 3, page 119, and in Northampton County Deed Book, E-2, page 143, the second of which lists the married names of the females, except Ann. The females? husbands are named in "History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania," by Charles Rhoads Roberts, page 566. Elisabeth?s baptism is listed in "The Record Book of Daniel Schumacher 1754-1773," translated by Frederick S. Weiser, Page 77.

| 1632 | John C Logan Submitted by Donna W. Collins John Logan was born in 1827, Marion County, Alabama to Robert "Bob" Logan and Virginia Jane "Jennie" McCaleb. The Logans were staunch Republicans and Church of Christ believers. Robert had been raised as a Presbyterian but was supposedly converted by Andrew Campbell. The eight brothers, born between 1823 and 1847 all supported the Union cause although the oldest, Daniel Lapsley "Lap" Logan could not enlist for medical reasons. Because of a hernia, he was unable to serve in the Union Army with his brothers but he helped build bridges for the Union forces. It is possible Lap died from tuberculosis although it is rumored he was murdered and his body tied on the back of horse, taken home, and thrown into the yard. John voluntarily enlisted in the Union Army, January 16, 1863 for one year at Glendale, Mississippi. He was mustered in on January 22, 1863 at Corinth, MS as a private in Captain David B. Waldeman's Company B, 1st Regiment of Alabama Calvary. He was honorably discharged in Memphis, Tennessee, January 22, 1864. John married Margaret Catherine Pate on March 26, 1869. Margaret had been born March 20, 1842 in Marion County, Alabama. John and Margaret's birth dates used here are from the 1880 census records and from John's service records. They do not match their grave markers. Their farming homestead was near Guin in Marion County, Alabama. They were the parents of ten children. John died January 26, 1898 and is buried with his wife in the Logan Family Cemetery located on their homestead. | Logan, John Calvin (I214)

| 1633 | John Danielson served in the American Revolution as did six of his sons and his two brothers. He also served in the earlier French and Indian War, and participated in the important Crown Point expedition in 1755. John was the son of John Danielson and Margaret Mighill (Maghell). Danielson enlisted 12 May 1775 as a private, Capt. Amos Walbridge's company in Brimfield, Col David Brewer's 9th Regt. He served in the battles of Bunker Hill, Long Island and Trenton. He crossed the Delaware with the troops on 25 Dec 1776. For a time he was a member of the bodyguards to General Washington. John Danielson and his wife moved from Brimfield, MA, to Butternuts, Otsego Co, NY, in 1796. After his death nearly all of his children and grandchildren changed the family surname from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson' by common consent, believing, according to oral family history, that 'Donaldson' was the original family name back in 1600's Scotland. During the past century some researchers have speculated that John Danielson of Brimfield was the grandson of wealthy James Danielson of Killingly, CT, but that is disproven by James' 1728 will, which shows only two sons, Samuel and James, Jr. Much of the best research on the Donaldson/Danielson family was done from 1925-1965 by Harriet H. Donaldson Wilkinson. | Danielson, John (I1106)

| 1636 | John Nichols was a sergeant in Company J of the 111th Regiment of Illinois Volunteers Infantry. He enrolled 11 August 1862 and served three years. He was discharged from service 22 May 1865 at New Albany, Indiana by reason of Surgeons Certificate of Disability. He was wounded at the battle of Rocca, Georgia on 14 May 1864. Colonel James S. Martin was the Commanding Officer of the Regiment. | Nichols, John (I0976)
|
| 1637 | John was born in Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England, in 1631, and came to America with his father. He settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and died there 6 May 1698. In a deposition made in 1666 he says he is 35 years old. In a deposition made in 1684, when he was 53 years old, he and his nephew, Philip Fowler, testify "that Mary wife of Thomas patch, Abigail Bosworth (probably wife of Haniniel Bosworth, who Richard, Sr., calls cousin in his will), and Elizabeth Spofford were daughters of Thomas Scott, Sr." In 1656 he was appointed attorney for Thomas Scott of Stamford, Connecticut, son of Thomas Scott, Sr., late of Ipswich, and brother-in-law of his father, Richard Kimball, Sr. Thomas Scott's will was approved 8 Mar 1653-4, and mentions children Thomas, Elizabeth, Abigail, Hannah, Sarah, Mary and brother Richard Kimball. Thomas Scott, Jr., was in the Indian War, under Capt Lathrop, when he was killed at Squakehege (Northfield, Massachusetts) 8 Sept 1675. By trade John was a wheelwright, but by occupation, he seems, like his brothers, to have been an extensive farmer. He frequently bought and sold land, and there are a number of deeds on record in Salem bearing his name. 16 Oct 1665, he was appointed one of the executors of the will of Bridget Bradstreet. In her will she mentions her oldest daughter, Martha Kimball. (This is evidently a clerical error, Martha was the wife of William Beal). She givers to her "the ground she hath now in her possession, and my greine hood, peuter dish, and Mr. Morton's Bocke and on sheet and on peliber (Pillowbear) To my daughter Mary Kemball my ould bible, my cloth waskate, my stamell peticote, on boulster and on palow, on peuter dish and on candlestick." John married Mary Bradstreet about 1655. He came over on the same ship with her and her father and mother. She was born in England in 1633. Most historians say this John married for his second wife Mary Jordan. This is an error. (See John-3,Henry-2, Richard-1). On 8 Mar 1673, he united with the church by taking the covenant. His will is made 18 Mar 1697-8. In it he mentions his sons Richard, John and Mosis, to whom he gives "sixe shillings a peece in money, which is all i intend to for them having by deed of gift giuene before what I them intended out of my estat." He mentions his six "dafters Mary, Sarah, hannah, Rebekah Elizabeth and Abigail." His "sunes Beniaman and Jospeph kimbal" have all the personal property divided between them, except one steer that he gives "to my sun beiamin, and my best cubbard I gue toe my sun beniamin's wife: in consideration of what they have dune or may doe for em in my eage and weaknes." His real estate had all been given away before this time, and his personal property which was estimated at £131.9s.11d. consisted mainly of "Quick Stock" as follows: "Six Oxen £24. Eight cows £26. 13 young cattle £18.10s. 29 shepp £6. 12 swine £5." All children were born in Ipswich, MA. | Kimball, John (I2192)

| 1638 | Jonathan was born in Bradford, MA on November 26, 1673 and died on September 30, 1747. He married on July 15, 1696 to Lydia Day. She was born on March 18, 1676 and died on September 16, 1739 and was the daughter of John and Sarah (Pengry) Day, and thence, sister to his brother Benjamin's wife, Mehitable. He married, second, 3 Nov 1739, widow Jane (Pierson) Plummer, who died 1764. This last marriage, late in life and soon after the death of his first wife, evidently was not a happy one, as he says in his will: "Since my wife Jane has eloped and refuses to live with me, I give her five shillings and a pair of leather gloves." The widow was not satisfied with this, as afterwards she receipts for £50. Jonathan Kimball bought and sold many tracts of land. Some of the deeds concerning these transfers throw considerable light on the relations of various parties concerned. "Jonathan of Bradford for love and goodwill gives all his lands in Chester to be equally divided among his four sons" Benjamin, Jonathan, Nathaniel, and Isaac, 12 Nov 1733. All children were born in Bradford, MA. | Kimball, Jonathan (I2164)

| 1644 | Joseph Parsons is believed to have been the first of the name in America. He was known as Cornet Joseph, from the military title which he, in later years, bore; the Cornet being the color-bearer and third in command in a British troop or regiment of cavalry... [Parsons] came to America about 1635, possibly earlier. On July 15, 1636, he was witness to the deed of cession made by the Indians to William Pynchon and others of a large tract of land, then called Agawan but later Springfield... At that time he was about seventeen years of age... This deed was made but sixteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims, and but six years after the first settlement of Boston. Munsell's "American Ancestry" states that Joseph Parsons came over with William Pynchon, the leader of the Springfield colonists, who was one of the patentees of the grant by the Crown to the Massachusetts Bay Company, and a fellow passenger with Winthrop, who came over in 1630... In 1651, he was elected a selectman, the highest town office in the gift of the people. About 1655 he purchased of William Pynchon... a monopoly of the Connecticut River beaver or fur trade, in which... he was for many years successfully engaged. From 1672 to 1678 he was a Cornet of the Hampshire Troop, commanded by Capt. John Pynchon, the first troop of horse formed in Western Massachusetts, and in 1679, he was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, the first regularly organized military company in America... In the spring of 1671 Joseph Parsons, with three others, went on an exploring expedition to what is now Northfield, Mass., and concluded a bargain with the Indians for a tract of over 10,000 acres of land on the "great river" (Connecticut). His intimate acquaintance with the Indians as a fur trader, taking him to their villages up and down the Connecticut Valley, made him invaluable in any transactions with them... [Parsons] served in the French and Indian wars, Colony of Massachusetts Bay. He was a partner of William Pynchon in the fur trade of the Connecticut valley and was the chief founder of Northampton, Mass. Cornet Joseph Parsons was preemninently a business man, with the courage and enterprise which peculiarly fitted him to take a leading part in the settlement of a new country. Savage says that he was "the most enterprising man in the Connecticut valley for a quarter of a century," and Burt, in his Monograph, says that "with perhaps a single exception he was the most prosperous and successful of any of the settlers and acquired a handsome property, the largest, unless it be that of John Pynchon, of any in Hampshire County, an evident indication of his foresight and enterprise." pp. 39-42, The Parsons Family, by Henry Parsons | Parsons, Joseph (I1334)
