    • Burial: 26 Feb 1864, Portsmouth, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, USA

    Notes:

    Based on Census and death records she was born approximately 1789 in Barnstead.

    People online have listed that she was the daughter of George Colbath and Rebecca Milken, but I haven't been able to verify that. According to the census, in 1790, Dependence Colbath's family was the only Colbath family in Barnstead. There were nine people in the household; two males over 16, one under 16, and 6 females (one would have been Eleanor). So, Dependence probably had 2 sons and 5 daughters, although birth records have proved impossible to find. Unforunately, many of Barnstead's records were lost in a fire, so these may have been among them. I believe that Sally was the daughter of Dependnce and Eleanor.

    She marrried Ebenezer Adams Jr. in Barnstead in 1808

    Ebenezer Gilman was born 1 May 1809
    George Washington was born 8 Mar 1811
    Mary Jane was born 19 Feb 1813
    * Joseph Colbath was born 25 Feb 1815
    John Quincy was born 30 Mar 1819

    Her husband, Capt. Eben Adams Jr. died 1 Jun 1820 (causes unkown)

    Sally Ann, the youngest daughter, was born 13 Jul 1820 (yikes! a month after her husband died!)

    On 12 Oct 1821, Sally was granted guardianship of her children following their father's death

    The 50-acre farm owned by her husband in Barnstead was auctioned in 1821. His estate was insolvent. (see attached)

    The1830 Census notes one Sally Adams and one young female living in Portsmouth. I am assuming this is OUR Sally, but what happened to the other children??

    In 1837, Sally Ann, the youngest daughter dies in a tragic drowning in Portsmouth. The newspaper notes her mother and siblings. (see attached)

    In 1839, her residence is listed in the city directory as 25 Court St., Portsmouth. Her son Joseph C is also in Portsmouth at this time, living not far away where he had a blacksmith shop at 57 Daniel

    In 1860 she was living in Portsmouth with her daughter Mary Jane, and two granddaughters Sally Ann and Mary Jane.

    Sally died from "consumption" on 25 Feb 1864. Her burial spot is unknown.

    My questions????

    How did Ebenezer die? He was so young!

    What happened to Sally and the children after Ebenezer died?

    I do NOT yet know enough about probate and land records but I'm guessing that Ebenezer got his land from the original Adams holdings (his great grandfather Rev. Joseph Adams). I'm thinking there would be a record of that?? Rev. Adams will left the land in Barnstead to Dr. Joseph Adams, Ebenezer's father. I can't find a probate record for Dr. Joseph Adams so far, but maybe there is some record of a land transfer to be found.

    Also, that after he died, the court must have made some provisions for his children. Did they really leave them homeless and without any support? There must be some record.

    Where did Sally come from? Who are her parents?


    There are many online trees that connect George Colbath, son of Pitman Colbath, with a marriage to a woman named Jane and 4 daughters. These trees also indicate that George died in Barnstead in 1843. The problem is that I can find zero evidence of any of this other than a Betsey C. (Colbath) Garland, widow, born in 1794, who died in Medland, MA in 1863 of a lightning strike, and her parents are listed as George and Jane.

    Now, there is a Betsey C. Colbath among the four daughters attributed to George Colbath, but she was living with her son Isaac Garland in Gilmanton, NH in both 1850 and 1860. It is possible that she had moved to Medland or was visiting Medland in 1863 when this lightning strike killed her, but it is also quite possible that her parents names were listed incorrectly.

    Also, I can find no evidence that George, son of Pitman Garland, had any connection with Barnstead. He didn't actually die in Barnstead in 1843, he died in Portsmouth in 1853. Also, if he ever married a woman named Jane, there is no record of it. In fact, the Portsmouth Athenaeum (The Athenæum houses an outstanding collection of documents and artifacts relating to local history. It also preserves what is undoubtedly the finest collection in the state of materials relating to the history of New Hampshire’s only major seaport.) has a record for George (https://athenaeum.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Colbath%2C%20George%2C%20c1759-1853) in which it attributes no children and lists him as unmarried (with a question mark).

    The other daughters attributed to him are Jane Colbath born in 1782 in Barnstead, who married Daniel Sherburne.

    Also a Hannah Colbath born in 1792 who married an Ezra Straw. They moved to Ohio and Hannah died theire in 1886. She was born in Portsmouth according to her obituary, but was married in Barnstead.However, Ezra was born in Barnstead, so this may account for that fact.

    Finally, there is my ancestor Sarah Sally Colbath, born in 1789 in Barnstead, who married Ebenezer Adams Jr. of Barnstead in 1805, and died in Portsmouth in 1864. Ebenezer died in 1820 leaving her with young children to raise, and she never remarried, It would have been very difficult for a single mother in those years, so it makes complete sense that she moved her family to Portsmouth where there would have been more work than in Barnstead.

    There are a few issues in resolving all of these inconsistencies, and the most significant is that the early vital records from Barnstead were lost in a fire. The second is that most of the early founding families of Barnstead had family ties in the Portsmouth/Newington areas, and I've found a lot of fluidity among them.

    In my tree I have left George "married" to Jane, but only for research purposes, and have listed the four daughters I found in online trees. I have also listed Jane and Sarah Sally with Dependence and Eleanor, again, to aid with research, as explained below.

    It is my belief that Jane and Sarah Sally were**very** likely the daughters of Dependence Colbath and Eleanor Walker. Dependence is from a branch of the family that was well established in Barnstead. He was, in fact, the only Colbath listed as a head of family in Barnstead in 1790 and the 1790 census lists them as having 2 sons and 5 daughters. We know they had one daughter Lydia, born in 1788 and died (unmarried) in 1832. She is buried with her parents in Barnstead. The two sons, it is believed were John and Dependence/Independence Jr. The names of the other four daughters living in 1790 are lost. As stated, I believe that two of them are Jane and Sarah Sally.

    Notes:

    Ebenezer was a soldier at Crown Point and Ticonderoga during the Revolutionary War.

    Fort Ticonderoga was captured on May 10, 1775, when a small force of Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen and Colonel Benedict Arnold overcame a small British garrison at the fort and looted the personal belongings of the garrison. Cannons and other armaments from the fort were transported to Boston and used to fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the Siege of Boston.

    After seizing Ticonderoga, a small detachment captured the nearby Fort Crown Point on May 11.

    Notes from Debbie Wilson:

    Stuart Merrill in his History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, 1979, states that Ebenezer married Lydia Hoyt in 1779, that in the census of 1790 he included in his family two boys and three girls. He is buried on the farm according to Merrill. Merrill maintains that son James lived on his father's farm, and we know this from the pension information below. The pension file of Ebenezer reads as follows:

    "April 6, 1818, Ebenezer Adams of Barnstead, Strafford Co. New Hampshire aged 64 deposed:
    that he enlisted Nov. 1775 and served two months; enlisted again in March, 1776, and served four months; in August, 1776, enlisted at New Castle, New Hampshire under Capt. Abraham Perkins, in the New Hampshire Line, where he served as a sergeant for twelve months, and in August, 1777, was discharged at Stillwater, N.Y. He was in the battles of Fort Ann and Skenesboro. The same day Dudley G. Adams of Gilmanton, testified to service in the company commanded by Capt. Abraham Perkins, and Ebenezer Adams, Sergeant, as did Israel Huckins of Barrington, New Hampshire.
    William Walker , Noah Robinson and John Kinne, Selectmen, testify to soldier's need of a pension. Claim allowed and Certificate North 16498 was issued Feb. 14, 1820 Act March 18, 1818 for one years service as private.
    May 2, 1820 soldier submitted a schedule of his property, but stated that he owned a considerable amount. He mentions a wife, Lydia, aged 62 yrs, a daughter, 30 yrs. of age, and a grandson, 11 yrs. old in his family.

    His name was dropped from the rolls on account of property. In 1822 soldier applied for a renewal of pension, stating that when his name was dropped, his creditors foreclosed, and that now he has not more than fifty dollars' worth of property. A number of citizens of the town testify in his behalf, among whom were: James Adams (no relation stated), John Bickford, Abraham and Daniel Bunker, John Daniels, Reverend Enos George, Pastor of the Congregational church in town, of which Ebenezer is a member, Jeremiah Jewett, John and William Nutter, John Peavey and Joseph Tasker.

    November 25, 1824, James Adams of Barnstead, New Hampshire testified that he was present when Harrison Hoyt Adams, formerly of Barnstead, but now of Kittery, York County, Maine agreed to pay off what he owed to various persons, among whom were: Ebenezer Adams (who died June 1, 1820), Ebenezer Coe, store-keeper, Jedediah Leighton, Betsy Adams, who nursed the family in several illnesses, Dr. Thomas Shannon of Pittsfield, New Hampshire, Joanna Pease, Nancy Merrill, Charles Hodgdon . Esq., Stephen Watson, as well as Harrison Hoyt Adams and James Adams. Owing to business troubles, H.H. Adams was obliged to sell the farm, and it was bought by James Adams, etc.

    Ebenezer Adams was, therefore, restored to the roll; and a certificate with the same number was issued April 1, 1828, according to Acts of March 18, 1818, and May 1, 1820."

    Ebenezer married HOYT, Lydia on 20 Apr 1779 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Lydia (daughter of HOYT, John and FURBER, Sarah) was born on 12 Feb 1758 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; died on 18 Dec 1836 in Formerly Strafford County, Barnstead, Belknap, New Hampshire, USA.

    Notes:

    In the History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, Stuart Merrill asserted that Dependence Colbath was the son of Benjamin Colbath. This is incorrect. He is the son of James and Olive (Leighton) Colbath and Benjamin was his uncle. Benjamin did have a son named Dependence, but he was at leas 15 years younger than "our" Dependence and he also moved to New York state, where he died in 1840.

    In 1816, Dependence and Eeleanor lived on lot 13, 1st division, below Roy Witham's property. In 1808, he owned lot 58, 1st division.

    According to the census, in 1790, Dependence Colbath's family was the only Colbath family in Barnstead. There were nine people in the household; two males over 16, one under 16, and 6 females (one would have been Eleanor). So, Dependence probably had 2 sons and 5 daughters, although birth records have proved impossible to find. Unforunately, many of Barnstead's records were lost in a fire, so these may have been among them.

    There are many online trees that connect George Colbath, son of Pitman Colbath, with a marriage to a woman named Jane and 4 daughters. These trees also indicate that George died in Barnstead in 1843. The problem is that I can find zero evidence of any of this other than a Betsey C.

    The other daughters attributed to him are Jane Colbath born in 1782 in Barnstead, who married Daniel Sherburne.

    Also a Hannah Colbath born in 1792 who married an Ezra Straw. They moved to Ohio and Hannah died theire in 1886. She was born in Portsmouth according to her obituary, but was married in Barnstead.However, Ezra was born in Barnstead, so this may account for that fact.

    Notes:

    Dr Joseph graduated from Harvard in 1745 and became a doctor contrary to his father's wishes (he wanted him to be a minister). He settled in Newington but moved to Barnstead in 1792. He married Joanna Gilman, dau of Ezekiel Gilman and Sarah Dudley. The Adams genealogy says that Ezekiel was commander of the New Hampshire forces at the taking of Louisburg in 1745.

    According to the revised edition of the Gilman genealogy, "Ezekiel did not die at the Louisburg Garrison as has been stated. In 1749 he deeded land in Exeter to his son Bradstreet and in 1748 distinguished himself by his original device for transporting artillery over swamps. The Major was a lumberman and had drawn masts over boggy ground on sleds and adopted the same method with artillery with complete success, teams of men being used instead of oxen or horses."
