| 4353 | William, the second child of Henry and his third wife Nancy Cook was born in "The Fort at Shawneetown" in Gallitin County Illinois. He married first Martha (Patsy) Nichols and sired eleven children the last in 1858. He next married Nancy Young and sired six more children. William purchased 20 acres near Huey Illinois ( formerly Clement) from John Huey in 1835. He then recieved title for the adjoining 40 acres of land from the land office at Vandalia Illinois on Aug 10 1838 described as "for the North East quarter of the North East quarter of Section twenty eight in Township two North of the base line, of Range two West of the third principal meridian, in the District of Lands subject to sale at Vandalia Illinois, containing forty acres."This location is probably the farm near Huey, Southeast of Carlyle where Emma Florence, first of six children with his second wife, Nancy Mariah Young, was born in 1864 and also where Earl Wilton Henderson was born in 1894. William also purchased another 40 acres on November 1 1839 located several miles from the first farm described as " the North East quarter of the North east quarter of Section Thirty Three in Township two North of the base line, of Range two West of the third principal Meridian in the District of Land subject to sale at Vandalia Illinois containing forty acres." Wilton Home Place - go south of Huey about one-half mile, then right about 1 1/4 miles. The house is yellow, I believe. It is just before you get to the road that turns south (left). (You can actually go to the cemetery that way, too). A half mile or so south of the house, off to the left, near another house, you will see the old Collins school building. It originally sat not too far south of the Wilton house (see the 1892 plat map). Cemetery - go about 2 miles south of Huey to where the paved road turns left; turn right and go towards the water tower on the hill; the cemetery is up the private drive past the water tower, and just a little ways past the house. George cut down the brush to clear a path in. In the western part of the SE Quarter of Section 33.This cemetery is located in Section 33 Clement Township. It is located in the woods on the top of a hill with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, most of the stones were below ground level and very difficult to find. In fact, we used the technique of dowsing for graves to find them. This cemetery is on private property. William purchased this 1 3/4 acre plot near Huey as a family burial ground and is buried there. The cemetery is located in Section 33 just south of the SE corner of William Wilton's property in Section 33 on private property. Before his wife would sign the deed however, William had to buy her a new dress ( ltr Emma Florence Wilton 1939). In June 2002 a relative ( 2nd cousin) found the Wilton cemetery near Huey located where described in a letter by Emma Henderson and found William's tablet headstone buried under dirt and also Sophia's. --James C Henderson | Wilton, William (I1892)

| 4361 | With his brothers, James and John, he sailed from Bristol on the ship "Mary" and arrived at Boston in April, 1636. They lived in Roxbury, MA for a time. James subsequently moved to Plymouth Colony and later settled in New Haven, CT, where he became a member of the Colonial Assembly of Connecticut and fought in the Pequot War. John grew disgusted with the bigotry, superstition, and the persecutions (including the witch trials) then taking place in New England and moved to Virginia. Miles joined the company of Sir William Pynchon in the colonization of western Massachusetts and was one of the founders of the city of Springfield, originally names Agawam after the Indian tribes that lived in the area. One of the company of colonists, Miles, though he was only 21 years of age, quickly became the second-in-command. He was one of the leading citizens of the new town and was regarded as an intrepid Indian fighter, farmer, and town leader. He had been given the title of "Sergeant Morgan" on the journey from Boston. In addition to establishing the farms that meant survival to the colonists he was also the butcher in the community and, in later years, operated a boat on the Connecticut River, trading with other colonists and with the Indians. He was subsequently known as "Captain Morgan." Unable to read or write, his mark on the town records was the sign of an anchor. On the voyage from Bristol he had made the acquaintance of Miss Prudence Gilbert, who was emigrating to the New World with her family. Once settled in Agawam he had a letter written to Prudence, who had settled in Beverly, north of Boston, and proposed marriage. She accepted and in 1642, accompanied by an Indian guide, a pack horse, and two companions, Miles set out for Beverly, where the couple were married. Prudence, her possessions piled on the horse, walked the 120 miles back to Springfield with her new husband. Morgan built one of the few fortified houses in town, was active in the militia, and was depended upon in the protection of the frontier town. During the fighting that swept the colony during King Phillip's War in 1675 the Indians attacked Springfield, nearly destroying the town. Many of the citizens took refuge in Morgan's house, and under his command, held off the attack. An Indian servant who worked for Morgan managed to escape and alerted the Massachusetts Bay troops under the command of Major Samuel Appleton, who broke through to Springfield and drove off the attackers. Morgan's sons were also famous Indian fighters in the territory and one of them, Peletiah, was killed by the Indians in battle in 1675. Miles appears in the records as a selectman, constable, surveyor, fence viewer, and overseer of highways. He was also appointed to sit in the balcony of the church during services and maintain order among the young men in the congregation. ("...up in ye gallery, to give a check to disorders in youth and young men in tyme of God's worship"). Given the piety of the early settlers this was a position of some honor and also attests to his force of personality. Not all their time was spent in church, however. According to the records, in 1673 Hannah Merrick, unmarried daughter of Thomas Merrick, accused Miles's son Jonathan with the paternity of her child. Miles provided his son's bail and Jonathan fought the charge. The court found him guilty, however, and ordered him to pay two shillings, six pence towards the child's support for four years. Jonathan's second wife eventually got a full confession from Hannah (the records do not indicate how) and Hannah was condemed to pay a fine of seven Pounds or receive twenty lashes as punishment for her perjury. Jonathan, not letting matters lie, then filed a suit charging slander against Hannah's father, but lost. Eight years later Miles was again in trouble over a child. His daughter Lydia worked in the household of the family of Samuel Gaines, who became the father of her child. Miles filed charges and won his suit and Mr. Gaines was ordered to pay child support. The judges declared their "greate Cause to Lament and bewaile ye sore hand of God agst us in suffering such vile inormityes to Breake out amongst us which as a Flood does threaten to overwelm us." | Morgan, Sgt Miles (I1738)

| 4399 | [Anne Hunt Ancestors.FTW] From Mrs. Gheesling: (1) "21 Aug 1645. John Hunt age 23, trans. from London to Va on George, by ctf. fr the Min. of Gravesend. So b. 1711/12 (sic.---should be 1611/12--FKG). "John was listed as a "transportee" by 1635. (2) John Hunt was owed money from the estate of Wm Baulke for the "rest of Baulke's bill"; and Mr. John Hunt and Col. Calthropp were named as "overseers' to the 1655 will of Alexander Hall--sohe certainly was a grown man of an acceptable business & personal ability by these dates. (3) He was on a Grand Jury 1662, (4) & still in York Co, New Pasquoson Parish (changed to Charles Parish 1692). He died 12 April 1679 as "Sr.". (5) Will was dated 12 April 1679 and proved 24 June 1679, York Co." Clara Hunt Miller received his will in which he names his children: John, Richard, William and daughter, Sarah, and "Richard, son of my brother, Ralph Hunt." So, John definitely had a brother, Ralph. Catherine Gheesling maintained he also had a brother, Thomas. | Hunt, Sr. John (I466)
