| 351 | I8832 | CLEEVE | George | 1586 | 1667 | 0 | George Cleve; Cleeve; Cleaves; CleevesComment:Esquire, as designated in the patent of Gorges to him 27 Jan. 1636, came to New England about 1630. Settled at Spurwink, built a house, planted, etc. having a promise from Gorges of 200 acres of land, as he claimed. In 1632 he bought a share in the patent which Richard Tucker had purchased of Richard Bradshaw. John Winter, as agent of Robert Trelawney, ejected him from the land in 1633, and seized upon his houses. [Testimony in Maine court at Saco June 25, 1641.] He had a lawsuit in court at Saco 25 March, 1636. He visited Boston in 1643 with Mr. Rigby, "a lawyer and a parliament man, wealthy and religious," who had purchased the "Plough Patent"; they sought to obtain the help of Mass. in establishing the claims of that patent; desired to join "the consociation of the United Colonies." [W.] He petitioned the Gen. Court of Mass. 5 (3) 1645, "on behalfe of the people of Ligonia," asking protection against the claims of Mr. Vines and others, basing his claims on the Rigby patent. [Mass. Arch. 3, 179.] As agent of "Collonell Alexander Rigby, President and proprietor for the province of Laconia," he leased lands in 1651. Took oath of allegiance to Mass. govt. 13 July, 1658. As deputy president of the Assembly of Lygonia, 22 (7) 1648, he was chairman of the committee to sit at Richmond Island and report on the estate of Winter. He deeded 20 May, 1658, to his grandchild Nathaniel Mitten, land adjoining that formerly granted to his father Michael M. Was sued by Robert Jordan in 1659, and his goods attached in a rough manner; bed and clothing taken from his sick wife, then 87 years of age. Nathaniel Mitten was alleged by "Richard Powssley of ffalmouth" in 1687, to have been a grandson of Cleve. See also Bradshaw, Bucknall, Jordan, Macworth, Moses, Tucker, Winter. |

| 354 | I4452 | CLOUGH | John | 1613 | 26 Jul 1691 | 0 | Salem Witch Trials connection: John Clough and his wife signed the petition in favor of Mary Bradbury. Mary was tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang, but managed to evade the sentence being carried out until after the trials had ended. She lived until 1700. Interestingly, my direct ancestors John Allen and Robert Pike supported Mary Bradbury as well. Our ancestor John Clough, sometimes spelled Cluff and Cluffe, was born about 1613. John Clough’s descendants have wondered if they were related to the Welsh Clough family, but despite much effort, could trace no connection. Richard Clough Yr Hen (meaning “Senior”) from Denbigh, Wales, was the father of three daughters and seven sons. One son, Richard (Jr.) made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land on crusade. He returned to Great Britain, where he accumulated a considerable fortune, and was knighted…becoming Sir Richard Clough. Members of the John Clough Genealogical Society (descendants of John Clough of Salisbury, Massachusetts) contacted Oxford ancestors to start a Clough Y-line DNA study. The Y chromosome of a male member of the Society (surnamed “Clough”) was analyzed, as was the Y chromosome of a direct male descendant of Sir Richard’s son by a Dutch mistress. The results were exactly the same. Meanwhile, our John Clough sailed from London, England, to America on the ship Elizabeth in 1635. Unlike many of the other settlers in New England, the passengers on the Elizabeth were not an organized company, but rather a group of individuals seeking land and a new home. “John Clough evidently came from a prosperous family as he paid at least 25 pounds for his passage on the Elizabeth and 50 pounds to become a proprietor of Salisbury.” He arrived at the age of 22. His name is first found on the records of Charlestown, Massachusetts, from there he went to Watertown, Massachusetts, and became a proprietor. Later, Clough removed to Salisbury. In 1639, John Clough was among original settlers of a new township named Colchester near the mouth of the Merrimack River. The name of this new town was changed to Salisbury the following year. There is a record of the general court granting to John Clough, land at Salisbury in 1639. Like most of the 20,000 Englishmen who migrated to New England between the years 1620 and 1640, John Clough was a Puritan, yet he was even more of a dissenter than the Pilgrims or the Puritans of the Bay Colony. John Clough was a Presbyterian, a member of a religious sect that was forbidden to assemble in England by order of the King in 1610. Nevertheless, he was quickly admitted to the church of Salisbury and was made a freeman in 1640. John received his land in the “first division” and acquired additional land in 1640. He paid 50 pounds to become a proprietor in Salisbury. To receive his share of the second division of upland land, he had to possess at least another 150 pounds. John married Jane Sanders in 1642. John received land in the first division at Salisbury and again in 1640; he was a taxpayer in 1650 and he subscribed to the oath of fidelity in that year; he was admitted freeman in 1642. By 1650, then 37 years old, John Clough was firmly established in Salisbury, where he became prominent in public affairs. He was appointed as the “Jury of Tryals,” an office he filled many times before 1677. That he was involved in other activities is indicated by this note in a town meeting: “Liberty be granted to John Clough, Robert Pike and Henry True to transport so many plank as will serve for the deck of a vessel building in Boston.” Pike, a wealthy business man, True and Clough were in an enterprise of building a “vessel in Boston,” probably for the coastal trade, which was a means of rapidly accumulating one’s income. All these outlays suggest that John Clough received considerable money from an inheritance in England, yet he left no record of his lineage or birthplace. About 1656, he became a pioneer on Salisbury Plains where he bought a farm of several hundred acres. This is where he erected his homestead. Salisbury Plains was a distance about two miles northwest into the wilderness. His rights as a commoner in the divisions of “upland” probably permitted him to purchase shares of land that is now part of Kingston, New Hampshire, where his grandchildren lived in the early 1700s. Before his death, John Clough acquired hundreds of acres of land in Salisbury, Amesbury, and Haverhill, which he distributed either by gift during his lifetime or by will to his children and grandchildren. John and Jane Clough were the parents of seven children. All were born in Salisbury. Both boys and girls attended the school that was taught first by the minister and then by Thomas Bradbury. Bradbury is highlighted in a chapter of the book titled Mary Bradbury. Jane died in 1679. John then married Martha Blaisdell, the widow of Thomas Cilley, in 1686. Martha is part of the Shipwreck Survivors chapter of this book, while Thomas is featured in the Cilley Family chapter. John Clough died in 1691 in Salisbury. His will was witnessed by Henry Blaisdell, the brother of Martha. Thomas Clough, the second son and fifth child of John and Jane, is our next direct ancestor. He was born in 1651. Their oldest child, Elizabeth, was born in 1642. She married William Horne. Elizabeth had the distinction of being the only woman to sign her own name, among many signers of a petition to Massachusetts to set up a temporary government. All other women made their mark. Horne was killed in the Indian massacre at Oyster River, New Hampshire, in 1689 when the Waldron Garrison House and several other garrisons were burned. Elizabeth was taken by Indians in Dover in 1707 and killed. from https://vandenheedemarkfamily.wordpress.com/gilman-family/clough-family/ |

| 356 | I20157 | COLBATH | Betsy Caroline | Mar 1794 | 11 Aug 1863 | 0 | 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 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. |

| 357 | I2046 | COLBATH | Dependence | 17 Feb 1742/43 | 28 Jul 1838 | 0 | 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. |

| 363 | I20155 | COLBATH | Sally | 1789 | 26 Feb 1864 | 0 | 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.

| 364 | I738 | COLBATH | Sarah "Sally" | Abt 1789 | 26 Feb 1864 | 0 | 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? |

| 378 | I2905 | CORSON | Charles | 30 Nov 1788 | 23 Apr 1860 | 0 | He had a farm in Lebanon on River Rd. in sight of the bridge over the Salmon Falls River at East Rochester. Roger Gray says the farm was on the corner of the old River Road and the old county road that ran from East Rochester across the bridge over the Salmon Fall River, once called Garland's Bridge, and then east to Sanford, ME. The farm was on the east side of River Rd. and must have run north along the road for about a half mile. A little way up River Rd. on the right (going north) is an old abandoned building on a little rise (if it hasn't been torn down). This was the old school house and was on a lot taken from the farm. He was an elder and preacher (unpaid) of the Free Will Baptist Church. He presided at the marriage of some of his children including Eliza and Jeremiah Shorey. In 1992 an old account book was found in the attic of an old house in Lebanon, ME. The book was in fairly good condition, and Roger Gray and Mabelle Corson were able to borrow it for examination. The book was the property of Rev. Charles Corson, and had been primarily used by him to record the accounts of his customers who had brought wool to be carded in a mill set up by Charles. The mill is described in "The History of East Rochester, NH: by Arlene Stone, as a "grist mill and carding rolls." This was the beginning of the woolen industry in East Rochester. Actuall the mill was erected across the Salmon Falls River from East Rochester in South Lebanon. The earliest date noted in the account book was 1815 and the mill data ends with the terse statement "Factory burned Oct. 18, 1857." Many of Charles Corson's customers paid for his wool carding services by goods and services; very little cash seems to have been available. It was in this mill - about 1841 - that his daughter, Harriet Corson, lost a hand; however, Harriet grew up to become the first school teacher in East Rochester. "The History of East Rochester" states that in about 1847 two local businessmen bought what machinery Corson had, including the set of cards. Two years later they expanded the mill and began manufacture of blankets. This brings into question how long Charles had operated this mill.

| 379 | I3001 | CORSON | Cornelius | 1652 | 1729 | 0 | The name has had many spellings, but we stick with the present Corson. Cornelius was known as Cosenwhit, Cossen, Cursenwhitt, and Corson. David Allen McNeal theorizes he may have been a Dutch mariner from New York, appearing first in Dover in 1685. He married Hannah Hobbs before 3 Feb 1686. He was charged on that date with striking his mother-in-law, Hannah Hobbs. A Cornelius Cossen and Joanna Armitage, both married people were found in naked bed together and charged in Suffolk County (Boston) in June 1686. They were ordered to wear signs declaring they were being punished "For Adulterous and Lascivious Behavior to each other" for one hour, and that he was to be whipped with 25 stripes on the naked back and she was to get 20 stripes, or pay 70 pounds each. Cornelius was listed as a resident lieutenant in Frost's Garrison in Kittery in 1704. Genealogical dictionaries suggest this was a son of Cornelius, but it may well have been the Cornelius who owned the 23 acre grant at Lower Salmon Falls River just above the Frost Garrison. It would have been very easy for him to get there by canoe (five miles at most). Cornelius' grant was on the lower, or south side of the present (1987) bridge from Dover to Eliot. Research has suggested that the New England Corsons are not related to the New Jersey or South Jersey groups, though the lines may merge farther back than that. Cornelius may have been a descendant of John Cousins who settled on Cousins Island as early as 1627, or may have been associated with a William Cosin who lived in Boston in 1649 (a convenient time frame for Cornelius' birth).

| 382 | I3015 | CORSON | Samuel | 1685 | 1764 | 0 | Samuel, along with Bartholomew Stevenson, Peter Mason Jr. and Stephen Jenkins were charged in September 1701 with aiding in the escape of Grace Hall, daughter of the Deacon John Hall, after being charged with bastardy (she was 27 years old at the time). Samuel was witness against Joanna Potts, his mother-in-law, for selling drink in 1707. He owned 20 acres of land in 1719, presumably on his father Cornelius' grant on Fresh Neck Creek in Dover, left to him by his father. In 1719 Richard Waldren filed a suit in court against a dozen people "Pretenders to Land at Cocheco Point", including "Samuel Cosen. Planter." The suit dragged on for nine years and was settled in 1728 by dividing the land in question and giving half to Waldren. It appears that Samuel left his father's grant early in the 1720's but not because he was dispossessed. During the time of the lawsuit Samuel held a homestead in the Rollingsford (or Somerswirth) section of Dover. He was granted land in 1722 in Rochester, receiving a "thirdly third share," or one share to be divided equally between three poeple. He sold this property in 1725, but never lived on it, as the first permanent settler didn't move into Rochester until 1728. Samuel's land was noted in Somersworth 9 March 1727 in a plan to lay out a highway from Salmon Falls to Cocheco, passing between Samuel Corson's land and the Wallingford's land. Samuel "Cason" along with other inhabitants at the Somersworth section of Dover, signed a petition 17 April 1729 asking to separate Somersworth from Dover, stating: "the Dwellin places of your Ptitioners are at a great distance from the house of the Publick Worship of God in the Town of Dover where your petitioners live, by which their attendance thereon is rendered very difficult....It is humbly prayed by them that your Excellency .... sett them off as a Parish .... amongst themselves." Samuel is believed to have moved into Berwick, Maine in the early 1730s, probably shortly after 17 March 1729/30 when he and his wife sold their homestead to Thomas Wallingford. The earliest mention of his name in York County was "Samnuel Corson of Berwick" among a group of men who bought the mill privileges at Great Falls in Somersworth in 1737. On 6 June 1739, Samuel Colson of Berwick, labourer, sold his property to Samuel Lord for 50 pounds. By 1742 Samuel was on the Rochester tax list, and there is no evidence he lived in Rochester before that date. Samuel signed his "O" mark 19 Sept. 1753 in a deposition with two other men stating the "mark and dry pitch pine standing .... exact location then given .... seen the Letters thereon and have known it to be the reputed Bounds of Dover ... for thirty years past and upwards and further saith not." He received a summons issued to him in February 1756 for defaulting on a note on behalf of Job Clememnts.Judgement was obtained in Portsmouth by Clememnts for the balance plus two pounds, 18 shillings and 6 pence in costs. He lived probably to 1764, and had moved over the Rochester line into Somersworth. In the First Annual Report of the City of Sommerworth a new road "over ye rocky hills" is described as "running ... to the old way below Samuel Corson's house." By this time there were two other Samuel Corsons - one Samuel's son removed to Cherryfield, Maine, and his grandson Samuel (son of Zebulon) and in his 30s. His grandson was in the list of inhabitants of Lebanon, ME in 1760 and had purchased the land he was living on by 1766. |

| 400 | I392 | DE AQUITAINE | Guillaume IX | 22 Oct 1071 | 10 Feb 1126 | 0 | An anonymous 13th-century vida of William remembers him thus: The Count of Poitiers was one of the most courtly men in the world and one of the greatest deceivers of women. He was a fine knight at arms, liberal in his womanizing, and a fine composer and singer of songs. He traveled much through the world, seducing women. In a striking departure from the typical attitude toward women in the period, William seems to have held at least one woman in particularly high esteem, composing several poems in homage to this woman, who he refers to as midons (master):[8] Every joy must abase itself, and every might obey in the presence of Midons, for the sweetness of her welcome, for her beautiful and gentle look; and a man who wins to the joy of her love will live a hundred years. The joy of her can make the sick man well again, her wrath can make a well man die, His frankness, wit and vivacity caused scandal and won admiration at the same time. He is among the first Romance vernacular poets of the Middle Ages, one of the founders of a tradition that would culminate in Dante, Petrarch, and François Villon. Ezra Pound mentions him in Canto VIII: And Poictiers, you know, Guillaume Poictiers, had brought the song up out of Spain with the singers and viels... In Spirit of Romance Pound also calls William IX "the most 'modern' of the troubadours": |
