2	I9293		Lady Godiva		Aft 1066	0	The legend of the nude ride is first recorded in the 13th century, in the Flores Historiarum and the adaptation of it by Roger of Wendover. Despite its considerable age, it is not regarded as plausible by modern historians,[citation needed] nor is it mentioned in the two centuries intervening between Godiva's death and its first appearance, while her generous donations to the church receive various mentions. According to the typical version of the story,[20][21] Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of voyeurism	tree1

Another son was Donald; also named, without giving the relationship, were John H. Corbett; John R. Corbett, and Roderick Corbett. Jessie was to inherit most of the estate. The will was presented for probate in February 1891, by John R. Corbett South Granville 16th June, Murdock Corbett, age 82, and on 27 December Ann McLeod, his widow, age 87.

9	I16857	(UNPROVEN)	John Richards	Abt 1710	1792	0	John figures in the history of the Indian wars; but every account published of him is not correct. The most reliable one seems to have been derived from his son Tristram, who used often to relate it in the hearing of his grandson, Samuel Richards, Jr. of S. Paris, Me., who has obligingly forwarded the following sketch, adding that the same, in substance, has been handed down among other descendants of this ancestor. "As he, and some of his neighbors, were at work in a field, at Rochester, N.H., they were suddenly surprised by a party of Indians, who ran towards them with terrific yells and whoops. Richards and his neighbors ran for his house, which was near by. Richards, however, concluded, as he neared the house, not to go in; and as his wife was at a garrison, at some distance, he directed his flight for her, but was soon brought down by a bullet. An Indian soon stood over him, with upraised tomahawk, and would soon have killed him, had he not called for quarter. The Indian, finding that he was not dangerously wounded, and that he could travel, spared his life, and took him, with another young man, as a prisoner to Canada. The men who ran inot Richards' house were all killed; their bodies being found by some of their friends soon after; and a web, which Mrs. Richards left in the loom unfinished, was found stained with the blood of her neighbors. Richards, and the other young man, having arrived in Canada, and appearing to be contented, were permitted to go out hunting with the Indians; and as they did not try to escape, were after about a year, allowed to go out alone. They then planned a way to escape. They found a large hollow log in the forest, and prepared it to hide in. as they passed that way they stowed a part of their provision there, and one evening crawled inot the log out of sight. The Indians, finding that Richards and his mate did not come home at dark, as usual, were soon searching for them, making the woods ring with their calls and answers, and many times passed over the log. after 24 hours search the Indians gave them up, and retired to their wigwams. Richards and his mate, hearing no more of the Indians, then crpet from their hiding and started for Rochester. Their scanty allowance was soon gone, and they began to suffer from hunger and fatigue. Richards' mate now gave himself up to die, as he could go no farther. Richards, being loth to leave him, carried him some distance, but finding his own strength failing also, and the young man begging Richards no to die with him, but to save his own life if possible, he reluctantly consented to do so. They found here the entrails fo a deer, which some hunter had left, and striking a fire, broiled it on the coals. This, said Richards, was the sweetest meat that I ever ate. He now left his companion, but had proceeded but a little way when he heard dogs barking behind him, and returnin, discovered that some hunters had found his friend. They were from Rochester, and carried Richards and his friend home." Of his sufferings and emotions in this events, fancy can paint but an imperfect sketch. Previous to his captivity, he m. at R., Abigail "Myers" or "Miles;" built his house by a living spring on the bank of the river, at Norway Plains in R., where he lived the rest of his days.	tree1

13	I12319	ABRAHAM	Marguerite	3 Jan 1645	9 Nov 1695	0	Marguerite was born on January 3, 1645 in the Parish of St-Eustache, Paris, Île-de-France, France to Godefroy (aka Guillaume Abraham) and Denise Fleury. Her father was about 30 when she was born, and according to online trees, he died shortly after, in the same year. Marguerite's mother, Denise, was 22 when Marguerite was born. The area in which she lived was the home of France's largest food market. Living in a single-parent household after the death of her father meant that Marguerite probably grew up in poverty conditions, altjhough there is no way to know for sure. Online trees also indicate that her mother Denise died in 1665 at the age of 42. If this is true, it provides context to the reasons Marguerite would have been willing to uproot her entire life for a harsh and distant land, that very same year. She would have had opportunities there that far exceeded what she would have had if she stayed living in France. Marguerite immigrated in 1665, on the ship "Le Saint-Jean-Baptiste, de Dieppe" departing on June 18, 1665 and arriving in New France on October 2, 1665. The ship was approximately 76' x 27.33' and 10.5' in depth and the crossing was made along with 130 soldiers and 81 other Filles du Roi. She brought a dowry of 100 livres with her. An unskilled worker in 1655 France woudl have made about 1 livre per 10-hour day worked, so 100 livres was rather significant and like the other Filles du Roi, this would have been provided by the king. Just one month after she arrived, on November 6, 1665, Marguerite married Joseph Ozanie (aka Ossany) Nadeau dit Lavigne on the Ile d'Orleans. Joseph was born in 1637 in Genouillac, Creuse, Limousin; a small, lightly populated commune in central France with a church dating back to the 13th century in which Joseph was baptized. Much of what we know of Joseph's life is thanks to the research of Ken Roy, published in 1998 as part of the Nadeau family reunion. http://www.royandboucher.com/genealogy/histories/joseph_ossany_nadeau.php Joseph was the son of Macia Nadeau and Jeanne Despins. He was a young man in his early 20s when he immigrated to New France, possibly in 1659 on the Le Sacrifice d'Abraham which sailed out of La Rochelle. It is believed that Joseph worked first as a wagon builder and wheelwright when he first arrived in Quebec, but became a farmer a few years later. After a brief stay in Quebec City, he settled in Chateau-Richer in the shore of the St Lawrence. On February 3, 1663, Lord Charny gave 3 acres of land to Joseph on the Ile d'Orleans in the Ste Famille area, the first parish that had been established on the island. When there were still only about 100 people on the entire island, Joseph cleared his land and built a 20'x15' cabin on what is now lots 224 and 226, just northwest of the Ste Famille church. After marrying in 1665, for the first two years, Marguerite and Joseph lived in Sainte-Famille, but then moved in 1667 to what became Sainte-Laurent after Joseph was granted 7 acres of riverfront that was also 40 acres deep by the Bishop of Quebec. He sold the land in Sainte-Famille on October 18, 1675 to Antoine Dionne (one of Jim's GGFs). Marguerite and Joseph had 5 children together, 4 who survived past infanthood and 3 who survived to adulthood. Our ancestor is Denis, their fourth child, baptized on June 18, 1673 in Sainte-Famille. Joseph died on February 10, 1677, when he was just 40 years old, and was buried two days later in Sainte-Famille. This left Marguerite a widow with several young child under the age of 10. The following year, on January 31, 1678, she married Guillame Chartier. They had no children together. Marguerite died at Beaumont sometime shortly after November 9, 1695 at about 50 years old.	tree1
14	I469	ADAMS	Abigail Amelia	14 Jul 1765	15 Aug 1813	0	Nabby Adams Smith was the eldest child and only surviving daughter of John and Abigail Adams and the sister of John Quincy Adams. She married William Stephens Smith in London on June 12, 1786 while her parents were in residence there but the marriage was not a happy one. Abandoned on numerous occasions while her husband went "seeking his fortune", Nabby showed herself to be a true child of her parents, strong-willed, uncomplaining and able to keep herself and her children together under one roof, earning the unstinting respect of John and Abigail and of John Quincy, who loved her dearly ... one of the few people he did love dearly. In October of 1811, Nabby discovered a lump in her breast and a mastectomy was performed without any anesthesia. Her parents were holding her hands during the brutal surgery and, according to John, she never cried out once. After recuperating at the Adams homestead in Quincy, she returned to her dreary life in New York. But the cancer proved too much for even Nabby's resilient spirit and, in the summer of 1813, in agony, she returned to her parents in Quincy and died in The Old Homestead. The elderly John Adams grieved in a letter to his old friend Thomas Jefferson: "Your friend, my only Daughter, expired, yesterday morning .... in the 49th Year of her age, 46 of which she was the healthiest and firmest of us all. Since which, She has been a monument to Suffering and to Patience." It has been said that neither John nor Abigail ever truly recovered from her death.	tree1

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. Aug., 1776, in Capt. Caleb Hodgdon's Co., and in Capt. Abraham Perham's Co., Col. Pierce Long, Dec. 7, 1776, to Jan. 7, 1777; 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."	tree1

Thomas Dudley and Gov. John Winthrop of Massachusetts. He was known as "Reformation John Adams" and was a noted evangelist, serving many pas- torates in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He died at Newmarket 30 Sept. 1850. John Adams was born in Newington, New Hampshire on February 14, 1791 to John Adams and Abigail Coleman Adams. As a teenager Adams converted to Methodism and as a young man he became an itinerant preacher. He was appointed elder of the Bristol Conference in Rhode Island in 1810. In 1820 he married Sarah Sanderson of Watertown, Maine. He was known for his emotional appeals and fiery preaching and remained a popular minister through the 1830s. His preaching career spanned the period of the “Second Great Awakening” and primarily took him throughout the New England area. In the 1840s his preaching style and mental instability caused him increasing difficulties. Since his religious message was often unwelcome, Adams turned to preaching about temperance issues and using his singing voice. Adams died in 1851 after a period of illness.	tree1

43	I601	ADAMS	Joseph	17 Jan 1723	22 Mar 1801	0	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." http://books.google.com/books?id=H89DXKVm4qcC&pg=PA2167&lpg=PA2167&dq=reverend+joseph+bass+adams&source=bl&ots=4UhEG4Jcu6&sig=N1EUKGR7sdHEkivAb8JAyc8UAto&hl=en&sa=X&ei=sg_yU__rJoOBygS4l4CQBg&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=reverend joseph bass adams&f=false	tree1

46	I32	ADAMS	Joseph Bass	4 Jan 1688	25 May 1783	0	IN 1727, Lieutenant Governor Wentowrth granted the charter for the Town of Barnstead to Rev. Joseph Adams and others. At the time it was a complete wilderness with hostile Indians living there, and so no attempt to settle the land was made until 1765. The Reverand's son Ebenezer was the first person, who with his family, settled in Barnstead (date unknown) on a lot located near the north line of Barrington (now Strafford). The homes of the first settlers were just crude log homes. The cost of the first road built was passed to the charter owners through taxes, and due to the unusually high burden of this, many gave up their rights to the land at that time and had it sold at auction. In the original charter the settlers were bound to build a meeting house for worship within three years of the Indian hostilities ending, so Rev Adams, who was living in Newington came to the town and selected land for the church. The site was described as "in a valley, near a stream of water, about a mile north of the Strafford line." Rev. Adams gave the first service at the church, and the workmen who had built the log structure attended. Previously, in 1758 while in Newington, he was one of 8 clergyman selected bu the Congregational Convention to apply to Givernor Wentworth for a charter for a college. This was granted in 1769. President John Adams, the Reverend's nephew described him "That in conversation he was vain, locquacious, though somewhat learned and entertaining; his sermons were delivered in a beautiful and musical voice, quoting scripture, and preaching without notes. When Rev. Adams died in 1783, he was the oldest living minister in New England. It was reported in a letter written to President John Adams regarding his uncle's death that the last sermon he had preached was on the topic of peace and he had spoken about how proud he was that his own blood relative had played such a big part in achieving that.

49	I399	ADAMS	Joseph Colbath	25 Feb 1815	10 Feb 1907	0	According to a History of Henry Adams, Joseph C. was born in Barnstead, Feb 25 1815 and was married Oct 29 1839 to Sarah B. Nutter the daughter of James and Hannah (Langley) Nutter. He was a blacksmith in Newburyport for many years. Joseph's father died in 1820 when he was only 5 years old. In October of 1821 the Strafford Court granted guardianship of Joseph (listed as Josephus in the court papers) and his siblings to his mother. Shortly after, also in1821, there was a notice in the paper that his father's 50 acre farm in Barnstead, NH was being auctioned to pay debts. I have also found the probate records ordering this sale as the estate owed $1200. It is unknown what his mother may have done then and where they lived, though by 1837 it is presumed they were living in the Newington/Portsmouth area as that is where his sister Sally Ann drowned (she was 17 at the time). In 1839, Joseph is listed in the city directory at 57 Daniel where he had a blacksmith shop. His mother was also living in town, at 25 Court St., Portsmouth. Joseph and Sarah married in 1839 and during the 1840 Census they were enumerated, living together, in Portsmouth. It appears that there may have been another Joseph Adams living next to them as neighbors. That is unusual and I don't yet know who it could be. By the 1850 Census, Joseph and his wife were living in Newburyport, MA and had 5 children, 5 daughters ranging in age from 9 (Sarah F my ancestor) to 2. Ariadna Nutter, Sarah's 24-year old sister was also living with them. The State of MA held a Census in 1855. Joseph and his family were living in Ward 6 of Newburyport and a son had now been born (he was 3 at this time), so they had 6 children. In the 1860 Census, Joseph's family was still with him in Newburyport and he is listed as owning $700 in real estate. MA had another Census in 1865. All his children are still living with him. Joseph's mother had just died the year before, in 1864. In the 1870 Census, Joseph and Sarah were in their 50s. It notes that he owns real estate valued at $400 and personal property valued at $1000. They have 4 adult children still living with them, no occupations listed for any of them. Annetta 28, Ada (assumed to be Ariadna) 22, and (Joseph) Gilman 18 According to the Municipal Register in Newburyport, MA for 1872, Joseph C. Adams was in the Common Council representing Ward 6. Joseph owned a home and blacksmith shop in 1872 located at 2 Merrimac Court. In the 1880 Census, Joseph is still living with his wife, his daughter Emma who is 35 and listed as a saleswoman and a granddaughter Nellie M. who is 4. Nellie May's gravestone says she died in 1886. Joseph's wife Sarah passed away Jan 11 1892. They had been married 53 years. On the 1900 Census Joseph is enumerated in Newington, NH, with his daughter Sarah and her husband Frederick DeRochemont (my 3rd great grandparents), his daughter Annetta now 57, and Sarah and Fred's children Frederick (23), Harry (32) and Harry's wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel, John, and Lawrence. In 1907 Joseph was living with his daughter Emily and her husband in Newburyport when he died at the age of 91 from heart disease. Emily did not know her grandmother's (Sally's) maiden name and misreported her grandfather's name as Joseph--though this is understandable as Ebenezer had died in 1820 when Joseph was only 5, long before Emily was born, so Emily never knew her grandfather. The newspaper stated that he had been returned to Newington for burial. Joseph and Sarah are buried in Newington. Their granddaughter Nellie is buried beside them.	tree1
