An early incendiary attack
The Candlemas Massacre took place in early 1692 during King William's War, when an estimated 150 Abenakis commanded by officers of New France entered the town of York, Maine, killing about 100 of the English settlers and burning down buildings, taking another estimated 80 villagers hostage, on a forced walk to Canada,[1] where they were ransomed by Capt. John Alden of Boston (son of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Plymouth Colony), who would soon be accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. The Indians set fire to all undefended houses on the north side of the York River, the principal route for trade and around which the town had grown. After the settlement was reduced to ashes, however, it was rebuilt on higher ground at what is today York Village.

Although often referred to as the "Candlemas Massacre," Candlemas is traditionally celebrated by the Catholic Church on February 2, forty days after Christmas (or by the Church of England on that day or the Sunday between January 28 and February 3), the attack is reported in the diary of Samuel Sewall as having taken place on January 25 or 26:

"Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1691/2.... This day...news was brought of an Attack made by the Indians on York."[2]
Today the event is commemorated annually in York, with historical re-enactments and lectures, events presented by the Old York Historical Society and sponsored in part by the Maine Humanities Council.

56 I16118  ADAMS  Philip  1632  25 Jan 1692  On Jan 24, 1692 the Abenakee Indians from Canada attacked the village of York, Maine. Killing , plundering and burning the town. Most accounts put the dead at around 48 and 80 taken prisoner. Amoung the dead were Philip Adams age 60 and his 15 year old son Nathaniel. A local poet expesses the horror of the day

Hundreds were murdered in their beds, Wiyhout shame or remorse; And soon the floors and roads were strewed, With many a bleeding corpse. The village soon began to blaze, To heighten misery's woe; But, Oh! I scarce can bear to tell The issues of that blow! They threw the infants on the fire; The men they did not spare; But kill-ed all which they could find, Though aged or though fair.

Another of our g grandfathers was also killed in this attack. John Parker, the Father of Hannah Parker who married Thomas Adams , was killed.

In the article that describes her deat, it says she left her mother, a sister, and several brothers.

Sally Ann's death was by drowning. She was out with friends and had gone to Wood Island (Portsmouth/Newington) in 2 boats. Coming back Sally Ann was in the smaller boat with 2 young men and two other females. It capsized and she sank and drowned. The others barely escaped. Going out she had gone in the larger boat, but coming back she wanted to be in the smaller boat as she said it went faster.

64 I879  ADAMS  Sarah Frances  9 Aug 1840  10 Dec 1928  Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her.

She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister).
She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport.

On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA.

By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent.

I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd.

By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte.

Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery.

By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them.

In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport.

Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington.

The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written.

In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad.

In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher.

Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery.

General Notes:
Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.

69 I7278  AELFGIFU      944  Saint Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, also known as Saint Elgiva was the first wife of Edmund I (r. 939-946), by whom she bore two future kings, Eadwig (r. 955-959) and Edgar (r. 959-975). Like her mother Wynflaed, she had a close and special if unknown connection with the royal nunnery of Shaftesbury (Dorset), founded by King Alfred, where she was buried and soon revered as a saint. According to a pre-Conquest tradition from Winchester, her feast day is 18 May. According to William of Malmesbury, Ælfgifu would secretly redeem those who were publicly condemned to severe judgment, she gave expensive clothes to the poor, and she also had prophetic powers as well as powers of healing.  tree1 
70 I7275  AELFTHRYTH    945  1000  The first king's wife known to have been crowned and anointed as Queen of the Kingdom of England. Mother of King Æthelred the Unready, she was a powerful political figure. She was linked to the murder of her stepson King Edward the Martyr and appeared as a stereotypical bad queen and evil stepmother in many medieval histories.

King Edgar organised a second coronation on 11 May 973 at Bath, perhaps to bolster his claim to be ruler of all of Britain. Here Ælfthryth was also crowned and anointed, granting her a status higher than any recent queen.The only model of a queen's coronation was that of Judith of Flanders, but this had taken place outside England. In the new rite, the emphasis lay on her role as protector of religion and the nunneries in the realm. She took a close interest in the well-being of several abbeys, and as overseer of Barking Abbey she deposed and later reinstated the abbess.

Ælfthryth played a large role as forespeca, or advocate, in at least seven legal cases. As such, she formed a key part of the Anglo-Saxon legal system as a mediator between the individual and the crown, which was increasingly viewing its role in the courts as a symbol of its authority as protector of its subjects. Ælfthryth's actions as forespeca were largely for the benefit of female litigants, and her role as a mediator shows the possibilities for women to have legal and political power in late Anglo-Saxon England.

71 I7272  AETHELRED  II  966  23 Apr 1016  Later perspectives of Æthelred have been less than flattering. Numerous legends and anecdotes have sprung up to explain his shortcomings, often elaborating abusively on his character and failures. One such anecdote is given by William of Malmesbury (lived c. 1080-c. 1143), who reports that Æthelred had defecated in the baptismal font as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarchy would be overthrown during his reign. This story is, however, a fabrication, and a similar story is told of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Copronymus, another mediaeval monarch who was unpopular among certain of his subjects.

Efforts to rehabilitate Æthelred's reputation have gained momentum since about 1980. Chief among the rehabilitators has been Simon Keynes, who has often argued that our poor impression of Æthelred is almost entirely based upon after-the-fact accounts of, and later accretions to, the narrative of events during Æthelred's long and complex reign.

72 I7177  AETHELWULF      13 Jan 858  Steyning then Old Minster, Winchester; remains may now be in Winchester Cathedral[  tree1 
73 I7177  AETHELWULF      13 Jan 858  Regarded as historians as king who consolidated and extended the power of his dynasty, commanded respect on the continent, and dealt more effectively than most of his contemporaries with Viking attacks. He is regarded as one of the most successful West Saxon kings, who laid the foundations for the success of his son, Alfred the Great.

On his way back from Rome, Æthelwulf stayed for several months with Charles the Bald, King of the Franks and married Charles' twelve-year-old daughter, Judith. After Æthelwulf's death Æthelbald married his stepmother, to the later horror of Asser, the biographer of his youngest brother, Alfred the Great. Asser denounced the union as being "against God's prohibition and Christian dignity, and also contrary to the practice of all pagans",[1] but the marriage does not appear to have been condemned at the time. Æthelbald and Æthelberht appear to have been on good terms: when Æthelbald died in 860 Æthelberht became king of both Wessex and Kent, and they were never again divided.

76 I7325  AIMERY  IV  1024  1094  In 1055 he was allied with Geoffroy Martel, Count of Anjou, against William, Duke of Normandy, and he participated in the siege of Ambrières, a castle built by William on the border of the County of Maine. After returning to Thouars in 1056, he joined the army of the Duke of Aquitaine to fight against the Saracens in Spain. He participated in the capture of Barbastro and brought a rich booty back to his hometown of Thouars.

In 1066, he was in England as part of the invading army of William the Conqueror. At the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, he commanded a corps composed of Poitevins, Bretons, and Angevins. Aimery IV did not settle in England, however, but received ample reimbursement and returned to France.

In Thouars, he rebuilt the castle in 1080. Aimery IV was also lord of La Chaize (near La Roche-sur-Yon), where he built a castle and a church dedicated to St. Nicolas.
Early in 1090, he made war on Pierre de Mortagne and took his castle. The Viscount of Thouars was assassinated by two of his own knights in 1093. He was buried in the church of Saint Nicolas in La Chaize.

83 I603  ALDEN  John  15 Sep 1599  12 Sep 1687  The youngest of the Pilgrims who became involved in government at the start of Plymouth Colony; when they arrived he was 21. Alden was at first assigned to live with the family of Captain Standish and he lived with this family until he was married. There is a story that after the death of Mrs. Standish, the Captain asked John to ask for the hand of Priscilla Mullins on his behalf. John is said to have been qite handsome, and Priscilla responded to him "Prithee, John, why do you not speak for yourself?" Later, John and Priscilla married and it is fabled that Captain Standish never forgave John. However, history doesn't really support this as John and Captain Standish spent the rest of their lives working together in the government, worshiping in the same church, and their children intermarried.

In 1626, John worked with Standish, Brewster, Howland and others to pay the debts, contracted in England, and to prevent the ruin of the colony's credit.

In 1631, John moved to Duxbury and settled on the land that had been granted hin there on the South side of the Bluefish river. He bult his house near Eagletree Pond. The original grant gave him 169 acres.

In 1633 he was appointed as a member of the Board of Assistants to the Governor, a position he continued in almost continually until his death. He often served as Deputy Governor and served as Governor in his absence. He was often on the council of war, many times an arbitrator, a surveyor of lands for the government and for individuals, and several times was authorized to serve as an agent or attorney for the colony. He was chosen treasurer in 1656 and held that office for 3 years. There was little pay for all these years of public service and while John Alden began with assets, these dwindled over time as he had little time to devote to his own affairs. When he died, he left an estate of only 50 pounds sterling. He is described as "He was possessed of sound judgment, and of talents, which though not brilliant, were by no means ordinary and disputable. The writers who mention him, bear ample testimony to his industry, integrity, and exemplary piety, and he has represented as a worthy and useful man, of great humility, and eminent for the sanctity of life. He was decided, ardent, resolute and persevering, indifferent of danger, a bold and hardy man stern and austere and unyielding, of incorruptible integrity, an iron-nerved puritan who could hew down forests and live on crumbs"

He died in Duxbury at age 87 on 12 Sep 1686. He was the last surviving signer of the Mayflower Compact.

The Mayflower Compact, signed by 41 English colonists on the ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620, was the first written framework of government established in what is now the United States. The compact was drafted to prevent dissent amongst Puritans and non-separatist Pilgrims who had landed at Plymouth a few days earlier. The Mayflower Compact was the first democratic document to be drafted in the New World, and became a model for later documents, such as the Constitution. Basically, the Mayflower Compact was the first governing document in America. The Mayflower Compact is the first document in American history demonstrating the attempt to form a government based of the concept that government should derive its power from the “consent of the governed.” The Mayflower Compact specified basic laws and social rules for the new colony and served as a foundation for the democratic structure of the settlers. The significance of the Mayflower Compact is that it contains extremely important concepts that helped to shape the History of America.

Fact 1: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was based on the concept of majority rule
Fact 2: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was the first known document that provided self-government in America
Fact 3: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it was the first democratic government to be established in the colonies - The colonists agreed to choose their leaders and make their own laws which they agreed to follow
Fact 4: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated because it stated that the adult males, not including servants, who settled at Plymouth, would have the right to vote on issues
Fact 5: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated by its democratic concept of law made by and for the people
Fact 6: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is illustrated as it expressed mutual regard for one another as equals in the sight of God
Fact 7: The significance of the Mayflower Compact is because it is often cited as one of the foundations of the US Constitution setting a precedent as the foundational document for the Plymouth Colony

The Mayflower Compact set a precedent and was an influential document for the Founding Fathers as they created the US Constitution. The Mayflower Compact made a significant contribution to the creation of a new democratic nation which would become the United States of America.

Immediately after agreeing to the Mayflower Compact, the signers elected John Carver (one of the Pilgrim leaders) as governor of their colony. They called it Plymouth Plantation. When Governor Carver died in less than a year, William Bradford, age 31, replaced him. Each year thereafter the "Civil Body Politic," consisting of all adult males except indentured servants, assembled to elect the governor and a small number of assistants. Bradford was re-elected 30 times between 1621 and 1656.

In the early years Governor Bradford pretty much decided how the colony should be run. Few objected to his one-man rule. As the colony's population grew due to immigration, several new towns came into existence. The roving and increasingly scattered population found it difficult to attend the General Court, as the governing meetings at Plymouth came to be called. By 1639, deputies were sent to represent each town at the other General Court sessions. Not only self-rule, but representative government had taken root on American soil.

The English Magna Carta, written more than 400 years before the Mayflower Compact, established the principle of the rule of law. In England this still mostly meant the king's law. The Mayflower Compact continued the idea of law made by the people. This idea lies at the heart of democracy.

From its crude beginning in Plymouth, self-government evolved into the town meetings of New England and larger local governments in colonial America. By the time of the Constitutional Convention, the Mayflower Compact had been nearly forgotten, but the powerful idea of self-government had not. Born out of necessity on the Mayflower, the Compact made a significant contribution to the creation of a new democratic nation.

84 I553  ALDEN  John  1626/27  14 Mar 1701/02  Stone preserved at the portico of the present Old South Church in Boston (original grave removed, stone found during excavation)  tree1 
85 I553  ALDEN  John  1626/27  14 Mar 1701/02  The most picturesque career of any of the children of the Pilgrim was that of Captain John Alden of Boston.
Born in Plymouth about 1626, he passed his earlier years in Duxbury where the records show that he was admitted freeman in 1646. Three years later he removed to Boston, which was thenceforth to be his home, his dwelling being situated on a passage leading from Cambridge Street to Sudburv Street, and called after him "Alden's Lane," today known as Alden Street.
In his youth he became a mariner and in later years rose to eminence in his profession and acquired by means of it what was in his day something of a fortune. He was for some years master of a merchantman owned by John Hull, and later for many years commander of the armed vessel belonging to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay which supplied the Maine posts with provisions and stores. He also saw service in the French and Indian wars, and in 1691 a vessel in his charge was taken by a French frigate, and he and his son were made prisoners, not, however, for a long captivity.
But by far the most interesting episode in Captain Alden's career was his arrest and trial as a witch, and as of all those so accused he is the only one who has left us a written account of his experiences, his case is of exceptional interest. The narrative is given in Upham's "History of Witchcraft," as follows:
"John Alden, Sr., of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, mariner, on the twenty-eighth day of May, 1692, was sent for by the magistrates of Salem, in the county of Essex, upon the accusation of a company of poor distracted or possessed creatures or witches; and being sent by Mr. Stoughton, arrived there on the thirty-first of May, and appeared at Salem Village, before Mr. Gedney, Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Corwin.
" Those wenches being present who played their juggling tricks, falling down, crying out, and staring in people's faces, the magistrates demanded of them several times who it was of all the people in the room that hurt them. One of these accusers pointed several times at one Captain Hill, there present, but spake nothing. The same accuser had a man standing at her back to hold her up. He stooped down to her ear; then she cried out, 'Alden, Alden afflicted her.' One of the magistrates asked her if she had ever seen Alden. She answered ' No.' He asked her how she knew it was Alden. She said the man told her so.
" Then all were ordered to go down in the street,where a ring was made; and the same accuser cried out, ' There stands Alden, a bold fellow, with his hat on before the judges ; he sells powder and shot to the Indians and French. . . . ' Then was Alden committed to the marshal's custody, and his sword taken from him; for they said he afflicted them with his sword. After some hours Alden was sent for to the meeting-house in the village, before the magistrates, who required Alden to stand upon a chair, to the open view of all the people.
" The accusers cried out that Alden pinched them then, when he stood upon the chair, in the sight of all the people, a good way distant from them. One of the magistrates bid the marshal to hold open Alden's hands, that he might not pinch those creatures. , Alden asked them why they should think that he should come to that village to afflict those persons that he never knew or saw before. Mr. Gedney bid Alden confess and give glory to God.
" Alden said he hoped he should give glory to God and hoped he should never gratify the devil:but appealed to all that ever knew him, if they ever suspected him to be such a person; and challenged any one that could bring in anything on their own knowledge, that might give suspicion of his being such an one. Mr. Gedney said he had known Alden many years, and had been at sea with him, and always looked upon him to be an honest man; but now he saw cause to alter his judgment. Alden answered, he was sorry for that, but he hoped God would clear up his innocency, that he would recall that judgment again; and added that he hoped that he should, with Job, maintain his integrity till he died.
" They bid Alden look upon his accusers, which he did, and then they fell down. Alden asked Mr. Gedney what reason there could be given why Alden's looking upon him did not strike him down as well, but no reason was given that I heard. But the accusers were brought to Alden to touch them; and this touch, they said, made them well. Alden began to speak of the Providence of God in suffering these creatures to accuse innocent persons.
" Mr. Noyes asked Alden why he should offer to speak of the Providence of God: God, by his Providence (said Mr. Noyes), governs the world, and keeps it in peace; and so went on with discourse, and stopped Alden's mouth as to that, Alden told Gedney that he could assure him that there was a lying spirit in them ; for I can assure you that there is not a word of truth in all these say of me. But Alden was again committed to the marshal, and his mittimus written.
" To Boston Alden was carried by a constable: no bail would be taken for him, but was delivered to the prison-keeper, where he remained fifteen weeks; and then, observing the manner of trials, and evidence then taken, was at length prevailed with to make his escape."
From the prison Captain Alden made his way to Duxbury, where he aroused his relatives in the middle of the night with the information that " he was flying from the devil and the devil was after him." He remained there for several months, until the witchery scare had subsided, when he gave himself up to the authorities at Boston and no one appearing against him, he was discharged, but with a temper forever after soured against any mention of witchcraft.
Captain Alden was married twice, each time to an Elizabeth. The first wife died before 1660, for this was the year in which he marriedElizabeth Everill, widow, who remained to share his home until 1695 or 96. He himself lived until 1702, when he died at the age of seventy-five. According to Ebenezer Alden's Memorial he was the father of fourteen children, at least four of whom died in early infancy. At the present day there are no descendants of Captain Alden bearing the name.
When he first came to Boston Captain Alden united by letter with the "First Church" of that city, but later joined the secession from that church which resulted in the organization of the " Third Church," afterward the Old South Church, of which he was thus a charter member. Today his gravestone is one of three preserved under the portico of the New Old South Church building at the corner of Copley Square in that city. The story of its recovery is given in the Boston Transcript for April thirty, 1870, as follows:
" Mr. Samuel Jennison, the owner of property on and about Carlton Place, has recently, on account of the widening ot Eliot Street, begun operations for the purpose of building there a new block. As the excavations have been going on some relics of the past have been dug up, including a lot of bones and quite a number of gravestones, some of them nearly whole. These are small slate stone tablets, such as may be seen in the King's Chapel, Granary, and other ancient buryinggrounds in the vicinity, and most of them have the old-fashioned death's head cut over their inscriptions."
The inscription upon Captain Alden's stone reads,
" Here lyeth the body of John Alden, Senior, aged seventy-five years. Deceased March fourteen, 1702." The stone was consecrated, in its present position, in 1884, Hamilton A. Hill delivering upon that occasion a memorial address.

86 I554  ALDEN  Jonathan  Abt 1633  14 Feb 1697  Capt. Jonathan Alden was the youngest son of the Pilgrim,
John Alden, and was born about 1627. He lived on the
paternal domain, and was much employed in the civil atfairs
of the town, and a selectman for several years He was much
respected and honored by his townsmen, and inherited the
virtues of his father. He was admitted a freeman in 1657,
and chosen ensign of the company in 167i, afterwards lieutenant,
and then captain, and continued in this capacity until
his death, which occurred in February, 1697. He was buried
under arms on the 17th, when an Address was delivered at
the grave by Rev. Mr. VViswall, from which these passages
are selected, - Alden' s Epitaphs.
" .Neighbours and friends, we are assembled this day in a
posture of mourning, to solemnize the funeral of the present
deceased, to pay our last tribute of respect to a person well
known among us. I need not enlarge upon his character, but,
in brief, am bold to say thus much. He stepped over his
youth, without the usual stains of vanity. In his riper years
he approved himself a good Commonwealth's man ; and, which
is the crown of all, a sincere Christian, one whose heart was
in the house of God, even when his body was barred hence by
the restraints of many difficulties, which confined him at home.
He could say, in truth. Lord, I have loved the habitation of
thy house. He earnestly desired the enlargement of Jerusalem,
and inwardly lamented that the ways to Zion did mourn,
because so few did flock to her solemn feasts ; but is now
united to that general assembly, where is no more cause of
sorrow on that account.
" As to his quality in our militia, he was a leader, and I
dare say rather loved than feared of his company.
'• Fellow Soldiers, you are come to lay your leader in the
dust, to lodge him in his quiet and solemn repose. You are
no more to follow him in the field. No sound of rallying drum,
nor shrillest trumpet will awaken him, till the general muster,
when the Son of God will cause that trumpet to be blown,
whose echoes shall shake the foundations of the heavens and
the earth, and raise the dead.
" Fellow Soldiers, you have followed him into the field, appeared
in your arms, stood your ground, marched, countermarched,
made ready, advanced, fired, and retreated ; and all
at his command. You have been conformable to his millpdc
tary commands and postures, and it is to your credit. But,
let me tell you, this day he has acted one posture before your
eyes, and your are all at a stand! No man stirs a foot after
him ! But the day is hastening, wherein you must all conform
to his present posture,- I mean, be laid in the dust."
Mr. Wiswall, after olfering various solemn exhortations,
with scriptural quotations, concluded his address thus :-
" Fellow !:5oldiers ; Oh ! consider how dreadful it will prove,
if, after you have with a matchless bravery of spirit acted the
part of soldiers on earth, you should in the mean time forget
your Christian armor and discipline, and bo numbered among
those mentioned in Ezek. xxxii. 2(), 27, who, having been the
terror of the mighty in the land of the living, yet went down
to hell with their weapons of war, their iniquities remaining
upon their bones! which that you may all escape, follow your
deceased leader, as he followed Christ; and then though death
may for a short space of time tyrannize over your frail bodies
in the grave, yet you shall rise with him in triumph, when
the great trumpet shall sound, and appear listed in the nmster
roll of tlie Prince of the earth, the Captain of our eternal salvation."ommons@

Notes for William Allen
"Alan is said to have been the name of an obscure Breton saint and from
Brittany it was imported into England by the many Breton followers of the
Conqueror and his immediate seccessors. Obviously it is from this
Christian name that the surname Allen derives. While common in England and
Scotland, Allen became much more so in New England where in 1790 it held
sixth place." 1574

"Ann Goodale (Richard, IA; John of Great Yarmouth, Eng.)
b. abt. 1623/4. Was living in 1625 (see John of Great Yarmouth's will)
m. William Allen abt. 1639. He, b. in Eng.; came to Salisbury, Mass.,
where he d. 18 June 1666; s. of Benjamin and Hopestill (Leonard) Allen."
1790

"William Allen, who appears in Salisbury, Massachusetts, in 1639, was
probably a very young man at the time of his emigration and, like most of
the early settlers of Salisbury, he may have lived first in one of the
older communities such as Newbury, across the Merrimac river, drawn to the
new settlement by his marriage to Ann Goodale, which must have taken place
early in 1639. There is no documentary evidence of his age, but we can
suppose that he was born about 1615. He lived in Salisbury until his death
on June 18, 1686. His wife Ann died 'about ye last of May,' 1678, and he
married secondly Alice whose maiden name is not known but who had had two
former husbands, John Roper and John Dickinson. She died, Allen's widow,
on April 1, 1687. Allen participated in the first division of Salisbury
land in 1639 when the town was called Colchester, and in that of 1640 when
it had become Salisbury. By trade he was a house carpenter, and, as he
consistently signed documents by mark, it is probable that he could not
write. He participated when the town divided the mowing of beach lots in
1654, and in 1657 he bought lot No. 35 of Mr. Hall's farm, which Hall had
sold to the town, for £1:18:2. His name appears on several church lists
and petitions. He also bought and sold several small planting lots, ox
commons, etc., between 1650 and 1667. Allen was sworn constable of
Salisbury on April 9, 1650, and was on the Grand Jury in the Salisbury
Court of December 2, 1666." 1574

"In 1677 Allen was twice in court. On July 4 he complained that Sarah
Taylor, his servant, had departed in a disorderly way, accusing his wife
of beating her cruelly. The court ordered Sarah's mother to place her in
some godly family and in the meantime Sarah was 'to refrain from the
company of Goodwife Houldredge and Sarah Buswell.' In October Allen and
his son Jeremy, then aged 19, were sued by Joseph Greeley to recover a
horse which Jeremy had taken without Greeley's knowledge. Greeley won the
case and Allen was ordered to return the horse within one month, if it was
sound and well. If it was not, Geeley was to recover £5 in corn or neat
cattle."1574

"William Allen, born in England, died at Salisbury, Mass., 18 June 1686;
married first, Ann Goodale, born ___, died at Salisbury, Mass., about the
last of May 1678, daughter of Richard and Dorothy (_____) Goodale; married
second, in 1684, Alice (_____) (Roper) Dickison, born in England, died at
Salisbury, Mass., 1 Apr., 1687, widow of John Roper and John Dickison. He
settled first at Newbury, Mass., where he had a grant of land, 19 June
1638. He was an original settler of Salisbury, Mass., in 1639. Here he was
elected Constable and tookoffice 9 Apr. 1650. He served on a Grand Jury at
Salisbury, 10 Apr. 1666. His son-in-law, Peter Ayer, appeared in Court as
his attorney, in 1668, in a case involving land ownership. His will, dated
16 Apr. or Sept. 1674, codicil dated 7 Nov. 1676, proved 22 July 1686,
named his wife Ann, daughter Hannah Ayer, and his other children. His
widow Alice made a will 24 Mar. 1687, which was proved 20 Apr. 1687. His
son Richard Allen died in 1678, and referred in a nuncupative will to a
chest with its contents then at his brother Peter Eyer's house in
Haverhill, which he gave to Samuel Eyer, son of his brother Peter." 1568

"William Allen first settled at Newbury, Massachusetts, which granted him
four acres of planting ground on Deer Island on June 19, 1638. His land
was mentioned in April, 1639, in describing another grant, and in 1641,
there appears a grant 'To Mr Wm Allen on the necke on the great river an
house lott of foure acres,' and also four acres of upland. This was,
however, probably only the recording of an earlier grant, as he had
certainly left Newbury and settled at Salisbury, Massachusetts, before
this. Salisbury was settled in 1639, and Allen appeared on 'The first or
Original list of ye townsmen of Salisbury in ye boke of Records.' He was
one of the first settlers, and he received land there in the first
division. It is probable that he married and removed to Salisbury in 1639,
as his first child was born ther in January, 1639/40. His wife was Ann
Goodale, who died 'abt ye last of May 1678' at Salisbury (see Goodale)."

96 I12063  ANCELIN  Francoise  1655  22 Sep 1711  Francoise was born in 1655, the daughter of Gilles Ancelin and Catherine Clement in the parish of Saint-Martin, Ile de Re, Aunis, France. Her cousing Rene Anceling traveled to New France when Francoise was about 10 years old and her father died about the same time. This was likely her motivation for immigrating to Canada herself in 1669. when she was only 14.

On November 10 of that same year, Francoise married Guillame Valade dit Asselin. Guillame was born in about 1647 (so he was 22 at the time of his marriage) in Saint-Sauveur, La Rochelle, the son of Andre Valade and Sarah Cousseau. By 1666/67, he was living in Beauport, Quebec working as an indentured servant for Nicolas Juchereau.

Guillame and Francoise lived in the village of Saint-Joseph at Charlesbourg. They had 14 children together, 11 that survived childhood.

97 I1532  ANDERSON  Anna Eliza  23 Sep 1817  6 Jun 1873  Her mother is listed as Sarah on her death record. I think that her mother was Sarah Anderson who married Leonard De Witt as her second husband. Anna was the widow of George W Brown. She died from consumption.  tree1 
98 I1533  ANDERSON  Sarah  Dec 1796    In her court deposition concerning Pickering and Wife v. De Rochemont, Sarah deposed that she came to Demerara circa 1802 as a little girl, lived with the de Wits in one end of the Water Side House so-called after she married Leonard and for about ten months after he died. She then moved up the Demerara River above the tide. She reached it by a row boat, and it took about six hours to reach on a good tide. She then returned to Georgetown after having lived in the country for six months and was appointed mistress of the Free School until she removed to the United States. She had already visited the states once and England once. She also stated that she had three daughters and a son by her first husband.

Sarah sponsored the baptism of Frederick's son William Henry in September of 1829 as Sarah Anderson. Leonard C DeWitt sponsored him as well as did Henry Howes and JA Odde.

I think it is her daughter who married Carsten B De Witt.
