Family narratives[edit]

(10g) Thomas Draper[edit]

TAG 15(1938):236-242

Thomas Draper was born say 1550, bur. Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England 9 July 1603, and m. say 1575 Grace NEWALL, b. say 1555, bur. Heptonstall 21 June 1600, daughter of James Newall. Thomas's will was dated 21 June 1603 and proved 6 Oct 1603. Known children:

  • Thomas, b. say 1576, d. unmarried. One Thomas Draper was buried 5 March 1607, and another 6 March 1609.
  • William, b. say 1578, m. Grace MITCHELL (see below).
  • Abraham, b. say 1580, bur. 31 March 1613.
  • Grace, b. say 1583, m. either 26 Sep 1603 John CRABTREE or 14 Nov 1603 Edward MAWD.

(9g) William Draper[edit]

TAG 15(1938):236-242

William, the son of Thomas Draper and Grace Newall, was born say 1578, bur. Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England 10 Oct 1635, and m. Heptonstall 29 Aug 1603 Grace MITCHELL, b. say 1583, living 1634. William's will was dated 4 March 1634. In a 25 April 1742 deposition, John, the son of William's youngest child, James, stated that his father's brothers were Thomas, John, and William, and his sisters were Mary and Martha. This is perfectly consistent with the family below, as assembled from the parish records. This John's only error was in calling James's father Thomas Draper, when it was instead William Draper. Children of William and Grace, bapt. Heptonstall:

  • Grace, bapt. Sep 1604, m. 12 April 1630 Michael HELLIWELL.
  • Thomas, bapt. 22 June 1606, m. 10 Dec 1627 Susan HORSFALL.
  • William, bapt. 30 June 1608, m. 24 Sep 1633 Helen WOOD.
  • John, bapt. 5 Aug 1610, named in father's 1634 will.
  • Mary, bapt. 20 Sep 1612, m. 21 Dec 1630 Christopher SHACKLETON.
  • Martha, bapt. 18 Sep 1614, m. 13 Nov 1645 Richard DENBY.
  • Susan, bapt. 17 Oct 1619, m. 14 June 1641 Luke HORSFALL.
  • James, bapt. 28 July 1622, m. 1646 Miriam STANSFIELD (see below).

(8g) James Draper[edit]

TAG 15(1938):236-242; Draper Gen:17-23

James, the son of William Draper and Grace Mitchell, was bapt. Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England 28 July 1622, d. Roxbury, Mass. 13 July 1697, and m. Heptonstall 21 April 1646 Miriam STANSFIELD, bapt. Hepstonstall 27 Nov 1625, and living in Jan. 1700/1 based on a probate document of son Jonathan who paid a debt for keeping his mother 3 years and 6 months (this would be following the death of James), the daughter of Gideon Stansfield and Grace Eastwood of Wadsworth in the Chapelry of Heptonstall. Based on the births of their children, James and Miriam likely sailed from England to New England either late in 1647 or some time in 1648. James was one of the original proprietors of Lancaster, Mass., but there is no evidence that he ever lived there. James likely first settled in Dedham, Mass. upon arriving in New England, but was not of record there until being admitted a townsman on 2 Jan 1653/4. He remained there until 1667, when called of Dedham in a 3 Oct 1667 deed, but the birth of his daughter Patience was entered in the Roxbury records in Aug 1668, so it was just prior to this that the family made the move to that town. James may have also lived in Charlestown, Mass. where he sold land in 1672 and where he was "notified" in 1676. Following James's death, his widow was offered administration of his estate on 19 Aug 1697, but she declined, desiring her oldest son James and youngest son Jonathan to be administrators. James and Mirian share an old slate gravestone in the Westerly Burying Ground, West Roxbury, Mass., but the stone was likely erected long after their deaths, and the dates and ages are not correct. Children: [49]

  • Miriam, b. Heptonstall 7 Feb 1646/7, most prob. m. Daniel HOLBROOK. When Daniel died by an accident, the paper that Miriam Holbrook signed relinquishing administration of the insolvent estate was witnessed by James Draper.
  • Susanna, b. prob. Dedham c. 1648, d. Charlestown, Mass. 20 March 1677/8, of smallpox, m. Charlestown 2 Sep 1668 John BACON, b. c. 1644, bapt. Boston 18 Oct 1657, aged 13, d. 7 April 1678, from smallpox. Susanna and John had four children born in Charlestown from 1670 to c. 1677, the youngest dying of smallpox on 18 March 1677/8.
  • Sarah, b. prob. Dedham c. 1652, d. there 23 July 1675, and m. there 19 May 1669 James HADLOCK, b. c. 1650, the son of Nathaniel and Mary Hadlock. Sarah and James had a daughter Sarah, born Roxbury 16 Dec 1670, who m. by 1685 John Marcy. James served in King Philip's War in 1676 under Capt Samuel Wadsworth and Capt John Holbrook. His daughter Sarah Mercy was granted land in 1733 for this military service.
  • James, b. prob. Dedham 1654, d. Roxbury 30 April 1698, m. Dedham 18 Feb 1681 Abigail WHITING, b. Roxbury 7 June 1663, d. there 25 Oct 1721, daughter of Nathaniel Whiting and Hannah Dwight. In 1675 James was a soldier during King Phillips War. In an anecdote related by a granddaughter, James is said to have died from injuries sustanined in a May Day (1 May) wrestling match, but this doesn't quite fit the death date given here. The inventory of the estate of James was dated 30 May 1698. James and Abigail both have extant gravestones in the Westerly Burying Ground, West Roxbury, Mass. They had seven children b. Roxbury 1681 to 1698. [50]
  • John, b. Dedham 24:4 mo:1656 (24 June 1656), m. (1) Abigail MASON; (2) Judith Rogers; (3) Elizabeth (DANIEL) Mason (Gen:145).
  • Moses, b. Dedham 26 Sep 1663, d. Boston 14 Aug 1693, m. (1) 7 July 1684 Hannah CHANDLER, b. 9 Sep 1669, d. 9 July 1692, daughter of John Chandler. Moses m. (2) 3 Nov 1692 Mary Thacher of Boston. Moses was baptized as an adult on 17:12mo:1683 (17 Feb 1683/4) and his wife Hannah on 30:1mo:1684 (30 March 1684) at the First Church, Roxbury. Moses received a grant by the town of Dedham for a blacksmith shop. Moses had three children with his first wife, born Roxbury 1686 to 1688, and one more with second wife born in 1693. Hannah is buried in the Eustis Street, or Eliot Burial Ground in Roxbury. (Gen:165) Moses has an extant gravestone in the Copps Hill Burying Ground in Boston, and his wife has an extant stone in the Eliot Burying Ground in Roxbury. [51]
  • Daniel, b. Dedham 30 May 1665, d. in Dedham, m. (1) Dedham, Mass. 16 Nov 1691 Elizabeth BRACKETT, b. say 1670, d. Dedham 12 Sep 1692 three days after the birth of their daughter Elizabeth. Daniel m. (2) by 1695 Elizabeth (ASPINWALL) Stevens, daughter of Peter Aspinwall. Daniel had the one child with his first wife, born 1692, and had seven more children with his second wife, born 1695 to c. 1713. (Gen:167)
  • Patience, b. Roxbury 17 Aug 1668, m. 13 March 1689/90 Ebenezer CASS, b. Hampton (NH) 17 July 1671, the son of immigrant John Cass and Martha Philbrick. They lived in Roxbury, Mass. for a short time, but on 11 Jan 1702/3 Ebenezer was living in New Roxbury (Woodstock), CT when he deeded his mansion house and barn and some acreage. About 1708 he moved to Lebanon, CT, and also lived in Hebron, CT. He was living on 7 Sep 1730 when he deeded 45 acres to Ebenezer Smith of Norwich for 450 pounds. Numerous online accounts give Ebenezer's death date as 1763, but I have found no evidence for this. One account says that Patience was dead by 1742, but again, no reference. It is possible that she was called deceased in the settlement of the estate of her son Moses, about 1742. Patience and Ebenezer had three children born from 1691 to 1695.
  • Jonathan, b. Roxbury 10 March 1670, d. Roxbury 28 Feb 1746/7, m. c. 1702 Sarah JACKSON, b. Newton, Mass. 10 (or 8) Nov 1680, the daughter of Sebas Jackson and Sarah Baker of Newton. Jonathan inherited his father's homestead in Roxbury and was a Captain in the Train Band. He and Sarah had six children born from 1703 to 1721. (Gen:179) Jonathan has an extant gravestone in the Westerly Burying Ground in West Roxbury, Mass. [52]

(7g) John Draper, Sr.[edit]

Draper Gen:145-6[53]

John Draper, the son of James Draper and Miriam Stansfield, was b. Dedham 24 June 1656, d. Dedham 5 April 1749, and m. (1) Dedham 3 Sep 1686 Abigail MASON, b. Dedham 6 Jan 1659/60 (6th of 11th month 1659), d. Dedham 23 Jan 170_ (probably 1705 or 1706), the daughter of John and Mary Mason. He m. (2) Dedham 12 June 1711 Judith Rogers, d. 30 Mar 1730, and m. (3) Dedham 26 Nov 1730 Elizabeth (DANIEL) Mason, b. Medfield 9 March 1678/9, daughter of Joseph Daniel and Mary Fairbanks, and widow of Joseph Mason. John left Roxbury for Dedham, where he was a farmer for most of his life. Children, all b. Dedham:[54])

  • Susanna, b. 10 Aug 1687, d. Medfield 27 Dec 1769, m. (1) Medfield, MA 13 Nov 1707 John PLIMPTON, b. Medfield 17 March 1679/80, d. Medfield 19 Jan 1729/30, the son of John Plimpton and Elizabeth Fisher; they had four children born 1708 to 1726; m. (2) Medfield 31 May 1731, as his second wife, Stephen SABIN, b. c. 1690, d. c. 1737, the son of Benjamin Sabin and Sarah Parker; he was town treasurer and schoolmaster at Medfield, who had m. (1) in Boston 3 June 1718 Elizabeth Mason. Susanna m. (3) Medway, MA 15 April 1739 Joseph PLIMPTON, b. c. 1690, d. Medfield 21 Oct 1740, brother of her first husband. He was a selectman of Medfield for six years, and representative to the General Court in 1720 and 1731. Concerning Susanna's birth date, the Draper Gen says b. 1 Aug, but the original hand-written record looks more like 10 Aug. Also, the year is not specifically given in the original record, but other births recorded on the same part of the page were from 1687. While Susanna and her first husband have no grave markers, they are almost certainly buried in the Vine Lake Cemetery in Medfield where her husband's parents and grandparents are buried. [55]
  • Abigail, b. Dec 1688? (Draper Gen says Dec 1686, but this is HIGHLY improbable based on b. date of Susanna, and unlikely based on marriage date), m. Dedham 19 Jan 1710/1 John BATTELLE, b. Dedham 17 April 1687, d. Dedham 14 Feb 1729/30, the son of John Battelle and Hannah Holbrook of Dedham. They had four known children, born 1713 to 1728. It is possible that Abigail remained John's widow, and was the Abigail Battelle taxed in Dedham on 13 Dec 1748.
  • John, b. 20 Feb 1690, m. Mariah HALL (see below).
  • Mary, b. 22 Oct 1693, d. Dedham, 25 Aug 1700
  • Hannah, b. 7 Aug 1695, d. Dedham, 24 Aug 1700.
  • Joseph, b. 3 June 1699, m. Boston 27 Jan 1725 [/6] Deborah ELLIS, b. Medfield 1 July 1700, daughter of Samuel Ellis and Deborah Lovell of Medfield. Joseph and Deborah had six known children born 1727 to 1735 (per Draper Gen.). Nothing more has been learned about them, but their son Joseph, Jr. was a Rev. War soldier, and lived in the part of Dedham that became Dover, and it is not unlikely that this is where Joseph and Deborah lived and died as well.
  • James, b. 29 Jan 1701, d. Dedham Nov 1719.

(6g) John Draper, Jr.[edit]

Draper Gen:146-7[56]

John Draper, the son of John Draper and Abigail Mason, was born in Dedham, Mass. on 20 Feb 1690, died in Dedham, MA in 1768 (though the death was recorded in Dover), and married in Boston, MA on 10 Sep 1724 Mariah (or Moriah) HALL, b. Dedham 6 May 1701, her obituary appearing in Dedham on 13 April 1766, the daughter of Thomas Hall and Abigail Martin. NOTE: John's birth is given as 20 Feb with no year in the vital record. He was not shown as a resident of Dedham until August 1714, suggesting he could have been born as late as 1693, and still be 21 in 1714. This birth year conflicts with the birth of his next sibling, but he could have easily been born in Feb 1692, and not conflict with the Oct 1693 birth of this next sibling. I include this, because we don't know where the 1690 year came from, as found in the Draper genealogy. [57] Children, all births recorded in Dedham: [58]

  • John, b. Dedham 8 Aug 1725, d. Dover 3 Feb 1805, m. Newton, MA 3 Oct 1751 Abigail CHENEY, the daughter of John Cheney and Elizabeth Burrage. He served during the Revolutionary War, and has a veteran's marker in the Dover Highland Cemetery (see below).
  • Mary, b. 7 July 1727, m. Dedham 15 May 1752 (per VR, but John Whiting's diary says 14 May--NEHGR 1909, p 187) Samuel FAIRBANKS, b. Dedham 14 Sep 1728, d. Dedham 28 March 1812, son of Joseph-4 Fairbanks (Joseph-3, John-2, Jonathan-1) and Abigail Deane. Samuel served as a Minuteman from Dedham, during the American Revolutionary War. Some sources say Mary died in 1831, but the Mary Fairbanks who died in Wrentham in 1831 is certainly not this Mary who was born in 1727. Mary and Samuel had five children: Capt Samuel, Laban, Jason, Mary, and Abigail. [59]
  • daughter, b. and d. in Dedham, 6 Mar 1730
  • Thomas, b. 26 June 1732, d. Roxbury, MA 10 Aug 1775 m. Dedham 14 May 1766 Lydia CHENEY, b. Newbury, MA Dec 1731, the daughter of John Cheney and Lydia Burrage. Thomas lived at his family's homestead on Farm Street. He was a private in Captain Daniel Whiting's Company in Brewer's Regiment in the Battle of Bunker Hill, and served two moths and 27 days. He died while in the service. He and Lydia had one daughter, Esther. Thomas has a veteran's grave marker at Dover Highland Cemetery, on a hill with a dozen other veterans, including his brother John and nephew Josiah. [60] [61]
  • Moses, b. 29 June 1734, d. Dedham 1 Feb 1740/1
  • Jonathan, b. 18 April 1737
  • Moriah, b. 27 Aug 1739
  • Susanna, b. 12 Mar 1747/8

(5g) John Draper III[edit]

Draper Gen:147

John, born in Dedham, Mass. 8 Aug 1725, d. in Dover, Mass. 3 Feb 1805, was the son of John Draper and Mariah Hall of Dedham. He was married in Newton, Mass. on 3 October 1751 to Abigail CHENEY, b. Newton, Mass. 20 Aug 1727, d. Dover 6 Oct 1809, the daughter of John Cheney and Elizabeth Burrage. John and Abigail had nine known children together, and after most of the children were grown, and John was in his early 50s, he enlisted for service in the Revolutionary War. He served from Dedham as a private, Capt Ebenezer Battle's company of the 4th Parish in Dedham, with service between 19 Apr 1775 and 20 Dec 1775, for one day. It appears that two of his older sons also served in the same company. He also performed guard duty in 1777 and 1778 in Cambridge and other places. John and 12 other Revolutionary War veterans had veteran's grave markers installed on a hill in the Highland Cemetery and dedicated during a 1911 ceremony. He and his family lived on the farm where he was born, on Springdale Avenue in Dedham (later Dover?) In 1800 John was enumerated on the census in Dover with wife and six younger people. John and Abigail are buried in the Dover Highland Cemetery; John has a veteran's marker, but Abigail has no marker. Children, births of first seven recorded in Dedham: [62]

  • Elizabeth, b. 15 Feb 1752.
  • Moses, b. 9 Feb 1754, "left for parts unknown," per the Draper genealogy.
  • Lydia, b. Dedham, Mass 22 May 1756, d. Medfield, Mass. 5 Jan 1815, married in Dedham, Mass. (Int 11 Oct 1776) to the much older Benjamin WIGHT, b. Medfield 5 June 1720, d. Medfield 10 Feb 1800, son of Jonathan Wight and Margaret Fairbanks of Medfield. They had no children. Benjamin's death record called him "town pauper." No burial record has been found for Lydia, but she is likely buried in an unmarked grave in this cemetery, in or near the plot of her husband's parents. [63]
  • Josiah, b. Dedham 2 Aug 1758, d. Dover 4 Oct 1839. He served as a drummer throughout the Revolutionary War from both Dedham and Medfield. He was married in Dover on 28 May 1787 to Keziah KNOWLTON, b. Medway, Mass. 15 March 1765, d. Dover 13 Oct 1843, daughter of William Knowlton and Rachel Anderson. Josiah appears on each federal census from 1790 to 1830, in Dover, Mass., and it appears he had as many as five daughters and a son. He received a pension for his war service, and following his death, his widow also received a pension. Josiah and 12 other Revolutionary War veterans had veteran's grave markers installed on a hill in the Dover Highland Cemetery which were dedicated during a 1911 ceremony. [64]
  • Aaron, b. 13 Jan 1761, living in 1830, is almost certainly the Aaron Draper who was a private, Capt Ebenezer Battle's Co., Lt Col Samuel Pierce's regiment, who enlisted on 19 May 1779 and was discharged on 1 July 1779 during the Revolutionary War. His total service was 1 month and 16 days, with travel included, spending time in Tiverton, Rhode Island. He m. (1) Dedham, MA 30 Dec 1784 Martha LITTLE of Dedham. A Martha Little, daughter of Robert and Abigail Little, was b. Wrentham, Mass. 19 Nov 1763. This wife appears to be still living in 1810, per the census, and with them was a boy under 10 years old. Aaron m. (2) c. 1814 Betsey CHILDS, b. Westminster, Mass. 8 Feb 1784, d. Dover 11 May 1871, the daughter of Joseph and Mary Childs. Aaron and Betsey had five children born in Dover from 1815 to 1824, but only one appears to have survived. Aaron is not found in the 1820 census, but in 1830 he was aged 60-69 with a female aged 40-49, and apparently his youngest daughter, aged less than 5. This suggests his other children had died. No death record has been found for Aaron, his first wife, or any of his children.
  • Daniel, b. 20 Feb 1763, m. Naomah DEAN. They are buried in the large town cemetery in Westwood, Mass. [65]
  • Abigail, b. 2 May 1765.
  • Mary, b. 12 Jun 1767.
  • Miriam, b. 1769, d. Dover, Mass. 21 Feb 1809, m. 13 Oct 1797 Josiah KNOWLTON, b. Medway, Mass. 10 April 1771, d. Dover, MA 6 Aug 1830, aged 59, the son of William Knowlton and Rachel Anderson of Medway. Josiah was called "of Sherburne" in his marriage record. Following Miriam's death, her husband likely remarried, as he appears on both the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Dover with a like-aged female (in fact with two like-aged females in 1830), but no children. Miriam and Josiah apparently had three children, but the birth of only one, William b. 1805, is found in the Dover vital records. [66]

(4g) Daniel Draper[edit]

Draper Gen:149-50,158

Daniel, the son of John Draper and Abigail Cheney of Dover, Mass., was b. Dedham, Mass. 20 Feb 1763, d. there 9 Dec 1834, and m. there 14 May 1793 Naomah DEAN, b. Dedham 7 May 1771, d. there 1 Sep 1833, daughter of Joseph Dean and Sarah Baker. In 1813 Daniel built a house at High Rock, West Dedham, and descendants to the sixth generation lived in it. He was known for his very powerful voice. His will, dated 18 October 1834, was proved 6 January 1835, and named his three sons Joseph, Martin, and Willard (his wife and daughters had all died by that time). Daniel is buried in the Westwood Cemetery in the same plot as his son Willard and two of Willard's sons. Naomah is buried nearby, according to the Dedham Vital Record by Robert Hanson. None of these people has an extant gravestone, except for a very small stone for Willard. Children, birth of first recorded in Dover, MA and last five recorded in Dedham: [67]

  • Sarah, b. 6 Dec 1793, d. 11 Aug 1795.
  • Joseph, b. 5 Aug 1795, d. Dedham 19 Jan 1838, m. Medfield, Mass. 19 Nov 1818 Polly C. ELLIS, b. Dedham 14 April 1792, d. Westwood, Mass. 3 June 1866, daughter of Phineas and Lucy Ellis of Dedham. The Draper genealogy gives Polly's maiden name as Colburn, but her death record gives her parents' surname as Ellis. However, living with Polly Draper and some of her children in 1850 is a Lucy Colburn, aged 89, apparently Polly's mother. Joseph erected a dam and fulling mill in Medfield used for fulling and making cloth. He eventually sold the business to Abner Mason and moved to W. Dedham (now Westwood). Joseph and Polly had eight children born from 1819 to 1834. At one time Joseph had a gravestone in the Westwood Cemetery, but no longer. While no record of Polly's burial has been found, her death record gives West Dedham (now Westwood) as her place of interment, so she is undoubtedly buried in the Westwood Cemetery with her husband. [68]
  • Martin, b. 7 Mar 1797, m. Sally FISHER.
  • Willard, b. 2 Nov 1800, d. 28 March 1877, and m. 2 Nov 1826 Louisa SMITH of Walpole, b. there 9 Aug 1806, d. Dedham, Mass. 19 June 1883, daughter of Abijah and Hannah Smith of Walpole. Mr. Draper lived all his life at High Rock Farm, W. Dedham, in the house built by his father. He was deacon in the West Baptist Church for 30 years. He and Louisa had nine children. Willard has a small extant gravestone in the Westwood Cemetery. [69]
  • Mary, b. 21 Aug 1803, d. 4 Sep 1819. She at one time had a gravestone in the Westwood Cemetery, but it appears to be no longer extant. [70]
  • Sarah, b. 1 Jul 1809, d. 10 Nov 1831, m. Nathanial NOYES, b. Dedham 10 March 1810, d. there 12 Nov 1889. Following Sarah's death, Nathaniel m. (2) Martha Colburn, b. Sherborn 23 Dec 1811, d. Dedham 10 Sep 1883. Nathaniel and both wives all have gravestones in the Westwood Cemetery, in a plot very close to where Sarah's father is buried. [71]

(3g) Martin Draper[edit]

Draper Gen:152-8 [72]

Martin, the son of Daniel Draper and Naomah Dean, was b. Dedham, Mass. 7 Mar 1797, d. Dedham 21 Nov 1879, and m. 12 July 1818 Sally FISHER, b. Canton, Mass. 6 Aug 1799, d. Roxbury, Mass. 9 April 1885, daughter of Elijah Fisher and Mehitable Wentworth Fadden of Canton. At the age of 8 or 9, Martin was sent to the home of Deacon Samuel Fales to live and work, and he stayed until early manhood. It was here that a young woman named Sally Fisher also came to stay, and the two were eventually married. Sally had been orphaned as a young girl, and was raised by her aunt, Rachel Cobb. Martin served in the local militia, known as the Dedham Light Infantry, and left the company as a Captain at the end of his tenure. He eventually bought his father's farm, High Rock Farm, located in West Dedham, now Westwood. For 44 years he was a deacon in the Dedham First Congregational Church whose pastor was Dr. Ebenezer Burgess. Martin and Sally share a tall monument with several of their children in the Westwood Cemetery. Children: [73]

  • Warren Fales, b. Dedham 12 Dec 1818, m. 24 May 1848 Irene Patience ROWLEY, b. Lansing, NY 25 Jan 1824, d. Andover, Mass. 27 Dec 1916. Warren grew up at High Rock Farm in W. Dedham (now Westwood), and with the urging of his father's pastor, Dr. Ebenezer Burgess, went to Phillips Academy in Andover, where he graduated in 1843. He then went to Amherst College where he graduated in 1847, after which he entered the Theological Seminary there. He left however, due to health issues, and taught in the public schools for a few years. In 1849 Draper returned to Andover, and began a career in the book selling and publishing business by going to work for the publishers Allen, Morill, and Wardwell. In 1854 he became the proprietor of this business, and for nearly 40 years he was the leading bookseller in Andover. During his tenure there, he published more than 600 volumes, some of them reaching quite large sales, and through thrift and enterprise he accumulated a considerable estate. Having no children, much of his estate was dispensed in charities, and Andover institutions received more than $100,000 from him. He was a large benefactor of the girls school, Abbot Academy (now a part of Phillips Academy), and Draper Hall there was named for him. He served for more than 20 years as the treasurer of the school, was one of the school's trustees, and also acted as general superintendent of the material interests of the school. Draper also established a prize fund and a scholarship at Phillips Academy, and provided for a cottage there as well. This cottage, called Draper Cottage, was given to the school, provided an annuity be given his wife until her death, which occurred on 27 December 1916 when she was in her 93rd year. After disposing of his business, Draper continued to devote himself to publishing works for the use of theological students and clergymen. After his death, Claude Fuess wrote that he was an example of "the old New England type of a Christian business man. Warren and Irene share a large monument in the Phillips Academy Cemetery, Andover, Mass. [74]

He became a teacher at Walnut Hill School in Somerville, then was elected Principal of the Prospect Hill Grammar School in Somerville. After remaining in that position for five years he joined his brother Warren F. Draper in the printing and publishing business at Andover. Following two years in that business, he became a bookkeeper in a bank, then in 1856 became an officer in the National Bank of North America, in which position he remained until his death. In 1879 he compiled and copyrighted an interest table for computing interest on daily balances, used by bank bookkeepers. In 1850 Martin was living with wife and infant daughter in Somerville in the home of his wife's parents. By 1860 he had moved to Cambridge, where he was the head of the household living with his wife, two children, a servant, and his mother-in-law. In 1864 he purchased an estate on North Avenue in North Cambridge where he lived until his death, and he appears on the 1870 and 1880 censuses for Cambridge. He was a great lover of music. Martin and Sarah had two children: Susan Amelia, b. Somerville, MA 9 Mar 1850, d. 1944; never married; and Warren Martin, b. Cambridge, MA 14 Apr 1859.

In 1870 they were living in Boston Highlands with two children, and were still living in Boston in 1880 with the same two children. Following her husband's death in 1889, Abbie continued to live for a while in the family home in Boston, at 77 Dale St., but by 1900 was at 137 Ruthven, the home of her daughter Jeannie and son-in-law Wilfred Bolster. She lived at the latter address as late as 1907. Abbie and Francis had three children. Abbie is buried with her husband in his parents' family plot, located right along Nahatan Street, in the Westwood Cemetery. [79]

(2g) Daniel Fisher Draper[edit]

Draper Gen:156

Daniel Fisher, the son of Martin Draper and Sally Fisher of West Dedham (later Westwood), Mass. was b. Dedham 10 June 1822, d. Cambridge 10 Feb 1874, and m. at the Winter Street Church, Boston, Mass. 1 May 1847 Mary Ann Stiles (COLLINS) Merrill, b. Salem, Mass. 27 Jan 1817, d. Cambridge 3 April 1889, daughter of Barnard Collins and Hannah Martin of Salem and Marblehead, and widow of Alfred Merrill of Portland, Maine, who died only a few years after their marriage. Her first husband had a portrait made of her, and this portrait was donated by her granddaughter, Mrs. Jeannette Rockwood Long, to the Portland Museum. From a professional photograph of this portrait, this memorialist had another portrait made in the late 1980s, a prized possession.

Daniel studied at Phillips Academy in Andover, then studied his profession of dentistry, and also taught in Dedham High School. He was threatened with lung disease all his life, making his profession quite hard on him. He was nevertheless successful in his business, and accumulated a large property. In his later years, he spent most winters in Florida. In the family genealogy, T. W. Draper characterizes Daniel as such: "He was a man of excellent judgment, of few words, and these to the point, and of honorable character."

The manner in which Mr. Draper met his wife was told to this memorialist by one of his granddaughters, Jeannette Rockwood Long, in the early 1980s. Mr. Draper was a dentist, and the young widow Mary Ann Merrill came to his office needing some teeth fixed. Mr. Draper was absolutely smitten with the beautiful Mary Ann, and after following her to her home was able to arrange for a proper introduction. They were eventually married, on 1 May 1847, and in his diary Daniel made this brief entry for his wedding day: "A Beautiful day. I picked my May flower in Winter St. Church at 11 oclock. Went to Springfield with her."

The diary of Daniel Fisher Draper, covered his life from 1846 to 1861. In 1855 he was living in Boston with his wife and three children, and the census included his son, Daniel Francis Draper, during his short life. He appears with family in the 5th ward of Boston in the 1860 census, with wife, two children, and many other boarders, including Daniel J. Coburn, Chief of Police. Daniel's health was poor during much of his life, and he spent time in Florida. In 1870 he was enumerated on the federal census in Jacksonville, FL, living there with his wife, three surviving children, and a domestic servant. His real estate was valued at $20,000, and his personal property at $10,000. Following his death, his widow lived in Cambridge, Mass., and was enumerated there in 1880, living with her son William and daughter Ella.

Daniel and Mary Ann are buried in the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. Because their original tombstones required a fee for upkeep, family members instead opted to have the markers removed, and an inscription placed on the marker of N. Frank Bryant, their granddaughter's husband. Children: [80]

  • Mary Adeline, b. Dedham 10 April 1848, d. 1 Feb 1932, and m. 29 Jan 1879 Edward Howard COBB, b. Abington, Mass. 13 Oct 1855, d. Cambridge 13 Dec 1940, son of Edward White Cobb. Mary's birth was recorded in her father's diary: "Baby born at 7 & 5 min PM...weighs 8 1/4 pounds." Wilbur Long, the husband of her niece, had this to say about her: "Mary was a rather impressive and commanding personality who for some years was a mind-practitioner, like the Christian Science operator but without precise theological trappings. With considerable success she counseled business men and gentry in and around Boston." She was a personal friend of Hariet Beecher Stowe, in whose book, "The Yearling" was mentioned a boat named the "Mary Draper." This boat, owned by the Draper family, was named for the subject Mary and her mother who was also named Mary. Mr. Cobb was a graduate of Harvard, class of 1878, and taught Chemistry and Physics at the friends' Academy in New Bedford, and also taught at Roxbury High School and the Laurence School in Boston. They had two daughters: Ruth and Winnifred. Mary and Edward are buried in the same plot with her parents in the Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge. [81]
  • William Burgess, b. 16 May 1852, m. Carrie Marie DREW (see below).
  • Daniel Francis, b. Andover, Mass. 28 July 1853, d. Roxbury, Mass. 18 Dec 1856. The entry in his father's diary reads "1853, July 28, Baby Daniel Francis born at 10 AM weighs 9 lbs". He appears with his parents in Boston in the 1855 census, aged 2. He died at Vernon Street in Roxbury, with the entry in his father's diary reading: "1856, Dec 17, Daniel Francis died at 10 min of 10 AM." Daniel is buried with his parents in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. [82]
  • Ella Frances, b. Dedham 7 April 1861, d. Cambridge 10 June 1952, m. 1905, as his second wife, Wendell David ROCKWOOD, b. Belgrade, Maine 20 April 1863, d. 16 April 1944, son of Albion Rockwood and Sarah Jane Ricker of Belgrade, Maine. Wendell married first Katherine Kennedy who died in 1902. Ella's birth entry in her father's diary reads: "Ella Francis born at 2 oclock PM weighs 9 lbs." Her son-in-law, Wilbur Long, relates the following story about her marriage: "Ella Frances was kept from marrying a painter-artist by family objections and seemed destined to remain an old maid. She dutifully cared for her invalided [sic] mother until the latter's death, then rented the family home she had inherited and for a number of years lived with the Cobbs, serving as living-in aunt and "nanny" to her sister's daughters, Ruth and Winifred. But Fate slyly intervened: while the Cobb family was touring Europe the hot water tank attached to the kitchen stove sprang a leak, and in distress Ella appealed to the nice widower living next door. He not only came to her aid but persuaded her to marry him. When the Cobbs returned the news infuriated them, but it was too late; the pair were engaged, and shortly were wedded." The year was 1905. They had their only child the following year, when Ella was 45 years old. Wendell was in the wholesale grocery business and served as the mayor of Cambridge, Mass. from 1916 to 1918. Wendell had two children with his first wife. Ella and Wendell are buried in the same plot with her parents in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge. [83]

(1g) William Burgess Draper[edit]

William Burgess, the son of Daniel Fisher Draper and Mary Ann Collins, was born in Boston, Mass. 16 May 1852, d. Medfield, Mass. 11 March 1939, and m. Somerville, Mass. 5 Sep 1882 Carrie Marie DREW, b. Bangor, Maine 3 Oct 1856, d. Newton, Mass. 8 Feb 1924, daughter of Edwin Drew and Phebe Almanza Shepard. Though Carrie was from Maine, her father was a grocer, and had a store in Somerville, Mass. William was a businessman who owned property in Boston, which he divided and sold as house lots, making a tidy profit. This is apparently what allowed the family to become financially independent. Carrie was said to be the financial manager of the family, and would give William an allowance with which he would pursue his favorite pastime of going to the movies. The family initially lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts where both children were born. By 1910 they had moved to 160 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands, Mass., when Carrie was the informant for her father's death certificate. They later lived at 17 Meredith Ave., Newton, which was the residence for both when they died. William and Carrie are buried with her parents in Mount Hope Cemetery, Bangor, Maine. Children: [84]

  • Warren Fales, b. Cambridge 9 Aug 1883, d. Arlington Co., Virginia 19 March 1970, m. Detroit, Michigan 6 April 1910 Margaret Ganesvoort MAXON, b. Waterford, NY 29 Oct 1883, d. Arlington Co., VA 28 April 1967, daughter of William Desnmore Maxon and Annie Cuyler Lush. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in classics from Smith College (Northampton, Mass.) in 1906. Dr. Draper was an Assistant Surgeon General and later Deputy Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service. After graduating from Harvard Medical School in 1910, Draper entered the Public Health Service, completing a two-year tour on the west coast followed by assignments near Washington D.C. During World War I he was commissioned by the U. S. Army as a sanitation officer, working at Camp Lee and Newport News, both in Virginia, and then conducting relief activities during influenza outbreaks in New England and Pennsylvania. Dr. Draper returned to the Public Health Service in 1919, and in 1922 was promoted to Assistant Surgeon General ahead of his peers. When the Virginia State Commissioner of Health died in 1931, the state's governor borrowed Dr. Draper to fill the position, which he did for three years. Five years after once again returning to the Public Health Service, in 1939, Draper was appointed as the Deputy Surgeon General, which position he held until his retirement. During World War II, Draper was brought into the United States Army with the rank of brigadier general, and served in Europe under General Dwight D. Eisenhower as a member of the Civil Affairs Branch of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). Put in charge of the Public Health division, he was quickly promoted to major general, and received recognition for his work with the vexing public health issues created by the war, and their impact on the ability of the Allies to fight. Dr. Draper returned to the Public Health Service after the war, and retired from that organization in 1947. Shortly after his retirement he became the assistant vice president for health services for the American Red Cross, but in 1948 was named the executive medical officer for the United Mine Workers (UMW) Welfare and Retirement Fund. Under his supervision, the fund created ten union-operated hospitals in coal mining regions of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. His two-decade tenure with this program brought him recognition and awards from the medical community. He retired from this position with the UMW in September 1969, but continued with the union as the special assistant in the newly formed UMW Department of Occupational Health until his death in 1970. Doctor Draper was influential in many professional organizations and was the president of several of them. He lectured at a number of medical schools, authored 61 articles on public health and preventive medicine, and co-authored several books and pamphlets. His humanity, humor, compassion and warmth of character are evident in many of his writings, and in the words of those who knew him. The Drapers had two children. Dr. Draper, his wife, and both children are buried together in the Columbia Gardens Cemetery, Arlington. [85]
  • Elwyn Burgess, b. Cambridge 28 Oct 1890, d. Cumberland, Rhode Island 3 Dec 1959, m. Newton Highlands, Mass. 8 Sep 1920 Olive May TITUS, b. Newton, Mass. 30 May 1893, d. State College, Pennsylvania 1 Aug 1972, daughter of John Edward Titus and May Rymes. Olive graduated from Simmons College in 1916, then worked as a legal secretary there until her marriage in 1920 to Elwyn. Though born in Cambridge, Mass., Elwyn had moved with his parents and brother to 160 Lincoln Street in Newton by the time he was seven, and this is where he grew up. He matriculated at Amherst College, but apparently didn't stay in school long, as he credits himself with only four years of high school and no college education in the 1940 census. It appears he left home and lived in Boston in 1911, but was back living in the family home by 1913, and stayed there until being drafted into the Navy during World War I. He was released from active duty in the United States Naval Reserve Force on 6 December 1918 in the grade of Yeoman 1st class, and was directed to return home to his address at 160 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands, Mass. Upon their marriage, Elwyn and Olive built a house in Swampscott (Lynn), Mass., and were living there when the Great Depression hit. Draper had been a successful businessman, and prospered, but was hit hard by the depression. The family struggled financially, and Draper had to use an early inheritance from his father to make ends meet. By 1932 Draper could no longer keep the house in Swampscott, and the family was forced to move. They were living in the Edgewood neighborhood of Cranston, Rhode Island by 1935 where they rented a house at 78 Massasoit Avenue for $30 per month. Elwyn was a manufacturers agent, and had his own company, the Draper Company, for marketing the sundry goods. His income in 1939 was $1836, supplemented by other sources. Eventually Elwyn and Olive retired to Cumberland, Rhode Island, where they bought a historic home (aged about 200 years) on Diamond Hill Road. This is where his two children and many grandchildren would meet for family gatherings while he, and after his death, while Olive was still alive. Though he died in Rhode Island, he was buried in the Drew-Draper family plot at Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor Maine, the area from which his mother's family had come. Elwyn and Olive had two children, a son and daughter. [86]

(9g) John Eaton[edit]

GM 2:403-7; Dedham Hist Reg 11:79,116; We Relate, Geni and Wikitree websites, citing Damon records that appear to be genuine, but not yet published (perhaps from the Eaton family association), and citing a Damon genealogy published in 1999; GM 6:298-9 (Richard Sherman fam)

John Eaton, b. say 1605, d. Dedham, Mass. 17 Nov 1658, m. St. James, Dover, Kent, England 5 April 1630 Abigail (BACHELOR) Damon, b. c. 1599 (aged 35 in April 1635), living 1658, the widow of Henry Damon who she married with license dated at Faversham, Kent, England on 6 March 1619/20. Abigail appears to have been the older sister of John Bachelor who was in Watertown by 1634, later moving to Dedham and then Reading, Mass. (see GM 1:117-22). Abigail and Henry Damon had apparently moved the 25 miles from Faversham to Dover, both in Kent, sometime between the births of their two surviving children, 1621 and 1624. On 13 April 1635, Abigail Eaton, aged 35; Mary Eaton, aged 4, and Thomas Eaton, aged 1, were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Elizabeth & Ann. Also on the list with them was Jane "Dammand" [Damon], aged 9, Abigail's daughter with her first husband. Anderson says that Abigail sailed with her mother and stepfather, but he does not name these people. John may have sailed over at a different time, or may have been mistakenly omitted from the list, and the same applies to John Eaton's stepson, John Damon. Apparently the passenger list of that vessel was reconstructed from certificates of conformity, and is likely incomplete. The Eaton family's first residence in New England was in Watertown, Mass. where John became a freeman on 25 May 1636. He was in Dedham in 1637, though he received a Watertown plot of three acres on 9 April 1638. He didn't join the Dedham church until 1641, keeping his membership at Watertown for several years after his move to Dedham. He lived in Dedham the remainder of his life. His will was dated 2 Nov 1658 and proved 9 Dec 1658, naming wife Abigail, children, and step-children. His inventory, taken 30 Nov 1658, totalled 392 pounds.

Children of Abigail with her first husband, surname DAMON:

  • John, bapt. Faversham 13 Jan 1620/1, d. Reading, Mass. 8 April 1708, m. c. 1648 Abigail SHERMAN, b. England say 1628, d. Reading, Mass. 25 Dec 1713, daughter of Richard Sherman and Elizabeth Whiting who came to New England in 1635. John and Abigail had five known children born from 1649 to 1661.
  • Jane, bapt. St James, Dover 15 Aug 1624 (called aged 9 in April 1635), bur. Rehoboth, Mass. 12 May 1694, m. Dedham 13 March 1643/4 John PLIMPTON, b. say 1620, d. c. 1677. She m. (2) 16 March 1680 Nicholas HIDE/HYDE, bur. Rehoboth 18 Oct 1690; m. (3) Rehoboth 1 April 1691 George KENDRICK. John Plimpton was in New England by 1640; the will of George Alcock of Roxbury, Mass., dated 22 Dec 1640, calls Plimpton his servant, likely meaning apprentice. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1643, moved to Medfield in 1652 and was titled Sergeant while living at Deerfield during the attack in 1675. Plimpton was captured by Indians on 19 Sep 1677 and "succumbed to hardships of his captivity" probably that winter. His widow filed his inventory on 24 Sep 1678. He and Jane had 13 children, born from 1644/5 to 1665/6, the first five of whom were born in Dedham, and the last eight at Medfield.

Francis Hall was b. say 1580, bur. Henbury, Gloucestershire, England 8 Dec 1620, and m. Berkeley, Gloucestershire 3 Feb 1606[/7?] Margaret Lewis, b. say 1586, pos. d. c. 1640. His will, dated 3 Dec 1620 and probated at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 18 June 1621 made bequests to his wife Margaret, son Edward, son Thomas, and youngest son, John. PROBLEM: if Edward was asking for payment from his father's will in 1640, why did he not do it sooner, such as in 1632 when he reached age 21? A possible answer is that the entire estate likely went to his mother, so perhaps she died in 1640, prompting Edward to request payment from the estate at that time. Children:

  • Edward, bapt. Henbury 29 Sep 1611, came to New England
  • Thomas, b. say 1614
  • John, b. say 1617

(8g) Edward Hall[edit]

Cutter 4:2392-3; Halls of New England 527-9; vital records of Rehoboth, Mass.

Edward, the son of Francis Hall and Margaret Lewis, was b. say 1610, d. Rehoboth (now Mass.) 27 Nov 1670 (VR), m. say 1650 Esther/Hester _______, b. say 1630. Edward was the son of Francis Hall, deceased, of Henborough, Gloucestershire, England per a certificate of health dated 15 July 1640, and issued by Gov. Thomas Dudley of the Mass. Bay Colony. This certificate was apparently issued as Edward, a carpenter of Duxbury, was moving from the Plymouth Colony to the Mass. Bay Colony, where he settled briefly in Braintree. Edward wrote a letter, dated the very same day as this certificate, apparently to his "very loving friends" Edward Stokes and john Taunton, both of Henborough, Gloucestershire, who were executors of his father's will. He gave direction to make payment to James Smith, mariner, and also mentioned his brother, John Hall, late of Henborough. He was a Plymouth proprietor of Duxbury as early as 1637, but lived in Braintree, in the Mass. Bay Colony in the early 1640s. In 1645 he went to Rehoboth, and then back to Braintree in 1650, then back to Rehoboth in 1655. He was also associated with Taunton and Bridgewater in the Plymouth Colony. In his 1647 will, John Gove of Charlestown, Mass. mentioned Goodman Hall of Duxbury. Edward's will was dated at Rehoboth 23 Nov 1670, with inventory dated 6 March 1670/1, naming only wife Esther and son John. His sons Samuel of Taunton, Thomas of Dedham, Andrew of Newton, and Benjamin of Wrentham in a 1715 quitclaim deed, relinquished all claim to the estate of their parents, Edward and Esther Hall, in Rehoboth and Attleborough to their brothers John of Rehoboth and Preserved of Hingham. After Edward's death, Esther may have remarried (see daughter Esther, below). Children, first two recorded in Braintree; remainder in Rehoboth:

  • John, b. 28 Jan 1650/1, d. Rehoboth Sep 1721, m. (1) Rehoboth 18 Nov 1684 Mary NEWELL; m. (2) perhaps Martha _______, d. Rehoboth March 1725. He was a soldier during King Philip's War, and was in the 1675 Swamp Fight. They were of Rehoboth in 1715. They had eleven children b. Rehoboth from 1685 to 1704, but only seven of them are found in the published vital record.
  • Esther, b. 23 Oct 1654; either she or her mother m. Rehoboth 24 Dec 1674 Thomas JORDAN. Because this couple had no children recorded in Rehoboth, it is suspected that the mother was the one to whom this marriage applies.
  • Samuel, b. 24 Oct 1656, living in 1715, m. 14 April 1686 Elizabeth BROWN, and lived in Taunton.
  • Jeremiah, b. 24 July 1658
  • Thomas, b. 31 March 1661, m. 1690 Abigail MARTIN (see below).
  • Preserved, b. 20 March 1663, living in Hingham in 1715, perhaps m. Lydia _______
  • Andrew, b. Rehoboth 10 May 1665, d. Newton, Mass. 1756, m. (1) Newton 1691 Susanna CAPEN, b. 16 Sep 1664, d. 18 Aug 1736, daughter of John Capen and Susanna Baesham of Dorchester; m. (2) 12 Oct 1737 Mary Bennett who survived him. He was a weaver and farmer, settling in Newton in 1695. His will was dated 30 Sep 1748. He had seven known children, probably all of first wife, born from 1695 to say 1715.
  • Benjamin, b. 7 Aug 1668, d. Wrentham 26 Aug 1726, m. Wrentham 9 Jan 1691/2 Sarah FISHER, d. 2 Nov 1751 or 1756. They had at least eight children, born from 1694 to 1709.

(7g) Thomas Hall[edit]

Thomas Hall, b. Rehoboth (now Mass.) 31 March 1661, d. Dedham, Mass. 29 April 1727, m. there 25 Feb 1690[/1] Abigail MARTIN, b. c. 1670. Abigail might be the Abigail Martin, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Martin, b. Boston 14 Nov 1669. In 1715, Thomas Hall of Dedham, with three of his brothers, relinquished all claim to certain lands in the estate of their parents, Edward and Esther Hall, to two other brothers. Children, b. Dedham: [87]

  • Abigail, b. 5 May 1695
  • Jeremiah, b. 10 Dec 1697, is likely the one of his name who married Margaret _______, and had a daughter, Anna Hall, who died in Dedham 10 Dec 1725. He is also likely the one of his name who appears on various tax and town records in Dedham in 1722, 1723, 1724, 1725, 1726, and 1728. It should be noted that a contemporary Jeremiah Hall was born in Wrentham, also in 1697.
  • Mariah, b. 6 May 1701, d. 13 April 1766, m. Boston 10 Sep 1724 John DRAPER (see above).
  • Daniel, b. 25 Jan 1702/3, m. Rehoboth, Mass. 18 Sep 1729 Margaret ROBINSON of Rehoboth. It is not known if this is the Daniel Hall who later married Ruth Peters of Wrentham, had four children with her born in Wrentham, then died in Wrentham on 8 Dec 1755. I'm uncomfortable with this arrangement, knowing that there were two separate jeremiah Halls--one in Dedham and one in Wrentham--and am thinking there are two different Daniels in these two towns as well.
  • Esther, b. 20 Sep 1705, m. Dedham 27 Jan 1729/30 Daniel COBURN. I find virtually no records on this couple. This is likely the Daniel Coburn who appears on a Dedham tax or town record in 1731. I can't find either the birth or marriage record for Esther in Ancestry.

(8g) John Cheney[edit]

TAG 76:245-7; GM 2:60-3

(7g) Daniel Cheney[edit]

Daniel, the son of John Cheney and Martha Parrat, was born c. 1633, d. Newbury, Mass. 10 Sep 1694, and m. Newburyport, Mass. 8 Oct 1665 Sarah BAILEY, b. Newbury 17 Aug 1644, d. Ipswich, Mass. 26 Oct 1714, the daughter of John Bailey and Elenor Emery. Sarah has an extant grave marker in the old cemetery in Ipswich. Children, b. Newbury: [88]

  • Sarah, b. 11 Sep 1666, living in 1743 but dead by 1755, m. 16 July 1696 John RICHARDS, b. Boston 1 April 1669, living in 1741, but dead by 1755, the son of Humphrey Richards and Mahitabel Ruggles. The marriage of Sarah and John is recorded in both Newbury and Newburyport, and earlier dates than given here are likely for intentions of marriage. Sarah and John had nine known children, born 1697 to 1711.
  • Judith, b. 6 Sep 1668, living in 1710, m. c. 1689 John EMERSON, b. Haverhill, Mass. 18 March 1661/2, d. Newbury 6 March 1745, the son of Michael Emerson and Hannah Webster. They had seven children born in Newbury from 1690 to 1704.

One account gives the death date for Hannah as 27 Nov 1768 in Newbury. They had eight children born 1699 to 1719. Their burial locations are not known, but FAG memorials have been created for them. [89]
  • Hannah, b. 3 Sep 1673, d. Rehoboth, Mass. 29 Jan 1731, m. (1) Newbury 17 Dec 1696 Lt. Thomas WISWALL, b.

(6g) John Cheney[edit]

John Cheney, b. Newbury, MA 10 July 1676, d. Newton, MA 1728, was the son of Daniel Cheney and Sarah Bailey. He m. (1) c. 1702 Elizabeth SEAGER, b. Newton 28 Jan 1682 (from vital record, but another VR entry gives 18 Jan), d. 10 Jan 1715/6, the daughter of Henry Seager and Sarah Bishop. John m. (2) Newton, MA 22 Oct 1717 Elizabeth BURRAGE, b. Boston, MA 10 June 1691, daughter of William and Sarah Burrage. Administration of the estate of John Cheney, late of Newton, was granted on 4 Nov 1728 to widow Elizabeth Cheney and John Burrig (Burrage), both of Newton. Following John's death, his widow m. 23 Oct 1729 Benjamin Whitmore of Newton, b. Lexington, MA c.1696 (and baptized there 28 Nov 1698 with two of his siblings), d. Newton 13 April 1754, the son of Samuel and Rebecca Whitmore of Lexington. [94] [95] Children of John Cheney with first wife; Elizabeth Seager, all b. Newton: [96]

  • John, b. Newton 10 Jan 1703[/4?], m. in Newton 24 April 1729 Lydia BURRAGE, b. say 1710, the daughter of William and Sarah Burrage. Some online accounts give John's death date as 19 Jan 1789. They had a daughter, Lydia, b. 1731, and perhaps a son John. [97]
  • Sarah, b. Newton 7 Oct 1706, d. New Marlboro, Bershire Co., MA 9 May 1791 (NOT 19 May as has been incorrectly published), m. Newton 3 Sep 1729 (this is the predominant date, but other vital records show 8, 13, and 23 Sep) Isaac Shepard, the son of Isaac Shepard and Elizabeth Fuller, b. Watertown, MA 19 Jan 1703/4, d. New Marlboro, 6 Jan 1778. They had ten children. [98] [99]
  • Daniel, b. Newton 28 Dec 1710, d. Newton 3 April 1743, apparently did not marry. He may be the Daniel Cheney who appears on some undated tax lists in Newton.
  • Timothy, b. Newton 18 Apr 1713, d. Newton 30 March 1772, m. Newton 21 July 1737 Sarah PRENTICE, daughter of Thomas Prentice and Elizabeth Jackson, b. Newton 3 Nov 1709, (d. 1787?). Their marriage record dated 27 March 1737 is likely an intention. An online source says Sarah m. (2) 6 Jan 1793 Daniel Mason of Lexington, and another says she died in Newton 3 April 1787, but I can confirm neither of these. Timothy learned the trade of turner, and was a manufacturer of chairs. He sold a saw-mill and lot of land close by the line of Brookline and Newton to John Dwight of Dedham, Sept. 29, 1738. He owned other lands, some of which had belonged to his wife's father. He removed to Needham for a short time and there residing sold land in Newton, Aug. 14, 1765. He was in town office several times, was "ensign" of a military company, no empty honor in troublous Indian times and was a man of efficiency. Timothy and Sarah had ten known children.
  • Moses, b. Newton 20 Oct 1715. On 14 August 1738 in Newton, Moses married first Abigail WHITMORE, daughter of Nathaniel Whitmore and Abigail _______. Moses was appointed in 1748 in Newton as a Tithingman. He served again in 1760. On 3 April 1755 in Newton, Moses married second Hannah WOODWARD, daughter of Jonathan Woodward and Thankful Myrick. During the Revolutionary War, on 22 September 1777, Moses enlisted as a private in Capt. Reuben Patty’s Company, Phineas Wright’s Regiment. He did later service in the Northern Department in the 6th Regiment under Col. William Williams. Children of Moses Cheney and Abigail Whitmore: Moses Cheney (3 Mar 1739 - 17 Oct 1758) and John Cheney (26 Aug 1740 - ). Children of Moses Cheney and Hannah Woodward: Submit Cheney (2 Jun 1755 - ) and Moses Cheney (28 Feb 1764 - 7 Apr 1833)

Children of John Cheney with second wife, Elizabeth Burrage, all b. Newton:

  • William, b. Newton 8 July 1719, m. in Newton 29 Dec 1745 Lydia FLAGG. They had five children. An online account says he died in Needham, MA 29 June 1766, but the Needham vital record contains no such entry. [100]
  • Elizabeth, b. Newton 2 Nov 1721, d. Needham, MA 23 May 1756, m. Newton 13 March 1749/50 Stephen HUNTING, Jr., b. Needham 6 March 1719, d. Hubbardston, Worcester, MA 1 Dec 1815, the son of Stephen Hunting (1688-1740) and Rebecca Woodward (b 1683). Following Elizabeth's death, Stephen m. in Needham on 14 Feb 1758 Hannah Converse "late of Newton", b. 12 Mar 1732, d. Hubbardston 19 Nov 1812.

Beulah apparently had a child earlier, who died in Needham because in the towns vital records, 28 Nov 1754 "a child belonging to Beulah Gregory died." John and Beulah had six known children.
  • Joseph, b. Newton 13 Oct 1732, d. Newton 25 June 1766, m. Newton 1 May 1755 (intention in Boston, MA 7 Mar 1755) Susanna CHICK, daughter of John and Susanna Chick.

  • Sarah, b. Newton 29 Apr 1735, m. Newton 30 Jan 1760 (intention 18 Nov 1759) Jonathan HAGER.

(9g) John Bailey[edit]

TAG 77(2002):241-7; Hoyt:213-14(Huntington)

John Bailey was born say 1585, d. Newbury, Mass. 2 Nov 1651, and m. Bromham, Wiltshire, England July 1611 Ann BAYLY, b. say 1591, bur. Bromham 27 Aug 1659. John lived in Chittoe, a village of Bromham, and was referred to as "John Bayly, Jr." or "the younger" in manorial rolls and parish records, suggesting an older man of the same name, possibly his father, lived in the area. The difficulty with assigning a father for this John, the immigrant, is that he had a contemporary of the same name in Bromham, so it is uncertain which of the two was the son of the elder John Bayly. John's last record in England was the 1635 burial record for his daughter Rebecca. Family tradition says John and his son John left England shortly after Rebecca's burial, and were passengers aboard the Angel Gabriel that wrecked off Pemaquid, Maine on 15 Aug 1635. This provides an explanation for why his wife refused to come to New England, and why John, likewise, would not return to England. John was a weaver, and was in Massachusetts as early as 6 June 1637 when his name appears in a court record for taking up residence beyond the Merrimack River in what is now Amesbury, without court approval. He became an original proprietor of Salisbury in 1639; most of the first settlers of Salisbury were from Wiltshire, England. There is clear evidence in the Essex County, Mass. court files indicating that John's wife refused to join him in New England. John was living in Salisbury as late as April 1649, but the following year moved to Newbury where he died. His will, dated 28 Oct 1651, was proved 13 April 1652. Children, all baptized at Bromham:

  • Rebecca, bapt. 22 March 1611/2, bur. Bromham 23 May 1612.
  • John, bapt. 19 Dec 1613, m. Eleanor EMERY (see below).
  • Rebecca, bapt. 10 March 1615/6, bur. Bromham 12 April 1635.
  • Robert, bapt.22 March 1617/8, living in England in 1651 when named in his father's will.
  • Anne, bapt. 17 Sep 1620.
  • Joan(na), bapt. 14 July 1622, liv. 1662, but poss. d. by 1663, m. c. 1642 William HUNTINGTON, b. say 1615, d. c. 1689 of Salisbury. William was taxed as a Salisbury commoner in 1650, and one of the first settlers of Amesbury in 1654-5. They had three known children born from 1643 to 1648.
  • Elizabeth, bapt. 19 Dec 1624.
  • Margery, bapt. 2 Dec 1626.
  • Frances, bapt. 2 Nov 1628.
  • Mary, bapt. 5 Dec 1630, bur. Bromham 18 March 1636/7 as "daughter of Anne Bayley."

John, the son of John and Ann (Bayley) Bailey, was baptized at Bromham, Wiltshire, England on 19 Dec 1613, d. Newbury, Mass. March 1691, and m. c. 1640 Eleanor EMERY, bapt. Romsey, Hampshire, England 7 Nov 1624, d. 1700, daughter of John Emery and Alice Grantham. John came with his father from England by 1637 and received land in Salisbury, Mass. in the first division in 1640, and again in 1643. Like his father, he was a weaver. He moved to Newbury about 1644. He was taxed in Salisbury in 1652 and was an Amesbury commoner in 1654, receiving land there in 1658. However, all subsequent records of him are in Newbury. His will was dated 30 Dec 1690 and proved 31 March 1691. Administration of the estate of widow Eleanor was given to son Joshua on 23 Dec 1700. Children:

He graduated from Harvard College in 1669 and was a preaher in Salem Village (now Danvers). Eight known children.
  • Joshua, b. prob. Newbury 17 Feb 1652/3, d. young. He may be the Joshua Bailey d. Newbury 7 April 1652, with an error in his birth date.

  • Joshua, b. Newbury 20 April 1657, summer 1722, m. Elizabeth _______. He received land in his father's 1690 will, and was the administrator of his mother's estate in 1700. His will was dated 15 June and proved 6 Aug 1722 naming wife Elizabeth, but no children.
  • Rachel, b. Newbury 19 Oct 1662, liv. 1700, m. Newbury 16 Feb 1679/80 Samuel POORE, Jr.
  • Judith, b. Newbury 13 Aug 1665, d. there 20 Sep 1668.

(10g) John Emery, Sr.[edit]

NEHGR 89(1935):376-7; GM 2:441-6(Anthony Emery)

John Emery, b. say 1573, may be the one of the name who was buried at Romsey, Hampshire, England on 25 Jun 1627. No record of his wife has yet been found. Children from the Romsey parish register:

  • John, bapt. 29 March 1599, m. (1) Alice GRANTHAM; m. (2) Mary (SHATSWELL) Webster (see below).
  • Anthony, bapt. 29 Aug 1601, living 9 March 1680/1, but likely died soon thereafter, m. c. 1630 Frances _______, b. say 1610, living 1660. Anthony sailed to New England aboard the James in 1635, with his older brother John; his wife and children were likely with him. Upon his arrival in New England, Anthony first settled in Newbury, Mass., but was in Dover (later New Hampshire) by 1640 and Kittery (later Maine) in 1649. He was in Portsmouth, Rhode Island by 1660. His occupations included Ferryman and Cordwainer. He was made a freeman on 18 may 1653 once Kittery submitted to the Massachusetts Bay government. Anthony seemed to spend a lot of time in court, suing, or being sued. In 1660, about when he left the Bay colony for Rhode Island, his wife sued him for one third of the value of lands that he sold. This suggests she did not go with him to Rhode Island.
  • Hugh, bapt. 6 Oct 1604

(9g) John Emery, Jr.[edit]

GM 2:446-52

John, the son of an earlier John Emery, was bapt. Romsey, Hampshire, England 29 March 1599, d. Newbury, Mass. 3 Nov 1683, and m. (1) Whiteparish, Wiltshire, England 26 June 1620 Alice GRANTHAM, b. c. 1602, d. by 1647, daughter of Walter and Eleanor Grantham of West Dean, Wiltshire; m. (2) Newbury 29 Oct 1647 Mary (SHATSWELL) Webster, widow of John Webster, and sister of John and Theophilus Shatswell. On 5 April 1635 John Emery and Anthony Emery (brothers) of Romsey, carpenters, were enrolled at Southampton for passage to New England on the James. John settled in Newbury, Mass., but isn't of record there until becoming a freeman on 2 June 1642. On 29 Sep 1646, apparently while a widower, Emery was fined 3 pounds, or to be whipped, "for his miscarriage with the wife of Henry Travers." He was bound to good behavior and not to frequent the company of the wife of Henry Travers. Emery served as an Ipswich juryman as early as 1648, and had a multitude of later jury appearances. He was a Newbury constable in 1655 and clerk of the market the following year. Along with the majority of Newbury men, Emery supported the petition praising Lt. Robert Pike of Salisbury, and in Oct 1654 the General Court began investigations on those who refused to repudiate their signatures. On 5 May 1663 he was accused of entertaining Quakers and with saying "if they came to his house they should be welcome and he would not forbid them." From 1669 to 1671, Emery was active in his opposition to Rev. Mr. Parker. A modern gravestone has been erected for John in the Burying Ground of the First Settlers in Newbury, Mass. Children with first wife, baptisms at Romsey, Hampshire: [102]

  • Alice, b. say 1622, m. c. 1643 John CHATER.
  • Eleanor ("Helena" in baptismal record), bapt. 7 Nov 1624, m. c. 1640 John BAILEY (see above).
  • John, bapt. 3 Feb 1628/9, m. c. 1650 Mary _______.
  • Anne, bapt. 18 March 1632/3, m. Newbury 25 Nov 1648 James ORDWAY.

Children with second wife, b. Newbury, Mass.:

  • Ebenezer (daughter), b. 14 Sep 1648, m. Newbury 21 April 1669 John HOAG.
  • Jonathan, b. 13 May 1652, m. Newbury 29 Nov 1676 Mary WOODMAN.

(10g) Walter Grantham[edit]

TAG 65(1990):211-13

Walter Grantham, born say 1570, d. c. 1622/3, m. say 1595 Eleanor _______, b. say 1575, may be the widow Grantam bur. West Dean, Wiltshire 7 March 1629/30. Walter was residing in West Dean in 1600 when his son John was baptized there, and likely remained there. His will was not dated, but probably written c. 1622 because it mentions granddaughter Alice Emery who was born c. 1622; it was proved 5 Feb 1622/3. From the wording of the will, his wife Eleanor was likely mother of all of his children, and she was the grandmother of Eleanor Lithba, William Lithba, and Alice Emery. Children:

  • daughter, b. say 1596, m. say 1617 _______ LITHBA, and had two children, Eleanor and William, by the time her father's will was written (c. 1622; proved 5 Feb 1622/3)
  • Thomas, b. say 1598, bur. West Dean 1 Feb 1661/2, m. Whiteparish, Wiltshire 5 Aug 1623 Elizabeth HEADGESS. Three known children bapt. West Dean 1629 to 1636.
  • John, bapt. West Dean 13 ____ 1600, bur. there 25 Sep 1600.
  • Alice, b. c. 1602, m. Whiteparish, Wiltshire 26 June 1620 John EMERY, almost certainly the immigrant to Newbury, Mass.
  • Joan, b. say 1604, unmarried in father's will (c. 1622).

(8g) John Burrage[edit]

Savage 1:308; Wyman:Charlestown Gens 1:157-8; Burrage Memorial [103]

John Burrage was b. c. 1618, d. Charlestown, Mass. 19 Oct 1685 in 68th year, and m. (1) c. 1640 Mary _______, b. say 1620, likely dead by 1654; m. (2) say 1654 Joanna STOWERS. b. c. 1624 (aged 47 in 1671), d. Charlestown 25 Dec 1689, aged 65, daughter of Nicholas and Amy Stowers. A John Burrage was baptized 10 April 1616 at Norton Subscourse, Norfolk, England, the son of Thomas Burrage and Frances Day, but I see no evidence that this is the New England immigrant, other than a suitable birth year and the name Thomas appearing among the children. Besides, this info comes from the Burrage Genealogy that appears to rely heavily on the research of Mr. Horatio Somerby. Somerby was involved in multiple fraudulent claims, probably to satisfy his patrons. John was an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1637, and admitted to the church there on 10 April 1642. His wife Mary was admitted to the church on 11 April 1641. He was a ferryman, but was replaced after he fell from a horse. Children with first wife Mary:

  • Mary, bapt. 8 May 1641, m. John MARSHALL
  • Hannah, b. 14 Dec 1643, m. 1662 John FRENCH of Billerica.
  • John, b. c. 1646 (aged 22 in 1668), bapt. 27 May 1660
  • Elizabeth, b. c. 1648, m. (1) 15 Sep 1668 Thomas DEANE; m. (2) 12 Aug 1680 John POOR.

Child of uncertain wife (Wyman suggests he's of the first wife, but a look at the other birth dates strongly suggests that he is of the second wife):

  • Nathaniel, b. 28 Dec 1655, d. 21 Dec 1656

Children with second wife, Joanna:

  • William, b. 10 June 1657, m. Sarah _______ (see below).
  • Sarah, b. 24 Jan 1658/9, m. 5 April 1682 William JOHNSON
  • Bethia, bapt. 26 May 1661
  • Thomas, b/bapt. 26 May 1663
  • Ruth, b. 28 Feb, bapt. 5 March 1664/5, m. 4 June 1683 Ignatius WHITE
  • Joanna, b. say 1667, d. 16 June 1668

(7g) William Burrage[edit]

William, the son of John Burrage and Joanna Stowers, was b. Charlestown, Mass. 10 June 1657, d. Newton, Mass. 1720, and m. c. 1690 Sarah _______, b. c. 1670, d. Newton 30 Aug 1745. William's inventory, approved 15 Aug 1720, showed an insolvent estate valued at about 38 pounds, with debts of 150 pounds. The large gap between the three older children and three younger children has not been explained. Children: [104]

  • Elizabeth, b. Boston 10 June 1691, m. (1) John CHENEY, Sr.; m. (2) Benjamin WHITMORE
  • John, b. Boston 11 Feb 1693 [/4?], d. Newton 24 Jan 1765, m. (1) Newton 9 Oct 1718 Lydia WARD, b. Newton 16 Aug 1692, d. c. 1724, the daughter of Dea. Richard Ward and Thankful Trowbridge. They had three children, born c. 1719 to c. 1724. John m. (2) Newton 17 Jan 1724/5 Sarah SMITH, who may be the Sarah Burrage who d. Newton 17 June 1775. John and Sarah had seven children born in Newton, but their birth dates were either lost, or not recorded in the first place; six of them are included in the Burrage genealogy.
  • Sarah, b. Boston 21 Sep 1695. She is not the Sarah Burrage who married Benjamin Adams; that Sarah was a generation younger, and it appears that Benjamin Adams was born about 1723, was married in 1755, and had several children thereafter.
  • Lydia, b. c. 1705, m. Newton 24 April 1729 John CHENEY, Jr., b. Newton 10 Jan 1703[/4?], the son of John Cheney, Sr. and Elizabeth Seager. They had a daughter, Lydia, born in 1731, and possibly a son John.
  • Abigail, b. c. 1707, m. Newton 8 January 1729 Edward PRENTICE, b. Newton 19 Nov 1706, the son of Edward Prentice and Sarah Osland. Abigail and Edward had eight children, born 1729 to 1744. Edward was certainly still living on 28 May 1760, when his son was called Edward Jr. in his marriage record.
  • Ruth, b. c. 1711, m. Newton 20 Oct 1731 Ebenezer SEGER (or Segor/Segur/Seager), b. Newton 21 Feb 1710, d. Newton 17 Nov 1785, son of Job and Mary/Mercy Seger. They had ten children born 1732 to 1751. Ebenezer's will, dated 14 July 1785 names several children, but no wife, so she likely predeceased him by a short amount of time, but not early enough for him to remarry. His will was proved 7 Dec 1785.

(9g) Nicholas Stowers[edit]

GMB 3:1779-82

Nicholas Stowers was b. say 1585, d. Charlestown, Mass. 17 May 1646, and likely m. (1) a woman whose name has not been found and (2) say 1623 Amy ______, b. say 1595 (based on last child b. 1638), d. Charlestown 2 or 27 Feb 1667/8. The children's birth years of say 1610 to 1638 represent a 28 year span in time, which is a much longer stretch than most woman would bear children. Nicholas is therefore assumed to have had more than one wife, though it is possible he had only one who was a teenager when they married. Nicholas was admitted as an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1629, and appears on the inhabitant lists there for Jan 1633/4 and Jan 1635/6. He was admitted to the Boston church as member #70, which would have been in the winter of 1630-1. On 14 Oct 1632 he and his wife were dismissed to the new church at Charlestown, and on 2 Nov 1632 Nicholas and Amy Stowers were among those who founded that church. He was made freeman on 18 May 1631, and held some very minor offices in the colony. His will was dated 16 May 1646 (the day before he died, per Wyman), with inventory "of Amy Stower" (obviously misnamed for Nicholas stower) dated 1 July 1646, totaling 165 pounds. Amy had likely died by 16 March 1668 when heirs of Nicholas asked that Samuel Hayward be appointed administrator [of the remaining estate?]. Children:

  • Elizabeth, b. say 1610, m. by 1630 George FARR
  • Richard, b. c. 1617 (deposed aged 76 on 8 May 1693), m. by 1647 Hannah FROST, d. 3 Feb 1698/9, aged 81 (gravestone, per Wyman), daughter of Henry Frost "late of Ipswich, Suffolk, England, mariner.
  • Joanna, b. c. 1624 (47 in 1671), m. John BURRAGE (see above).
  • Sarah, b. say 1626, m. c. 1645 Samuel HAYWARD.
  • Joseph, b. Charlestown b. 21 Feb, bapt. 23 Feb 1632/3, m. c. 1660 Mary BLAISDELL, daughter of Ralph Blaisdell.
  • Abigail, b. Charlestown 27 June, bapt. 28 June 1636, m. c. 1663 John KNIGHT.
  • John, b. Charlestown 15 Aug 1638

(8g) John Dean[edit]

Dean genealogy [105]

John Dean, b. 1650, d. Dedham, Mass. 13 Dec 1727, and m. c. 1676 Sarah _______, b. c. 1655, d. Dedham 20 May 1727, seven months before her husband. John's birth year comes from a deposition he made in 1685, calling himself aged 35. The maiden name of Sarah has been given as Farrington in a number of reports, but there is no documentary evidence confirming that this is so. John was a carpenter and husbandman whose provenance remains unknown. He first appears in the public record in Dedham, Mass. on 3 Dec 1672 as a "yonge man" preparing for settlement. He received swamp meadow in 1675, and timber to make a cider press in 1677. He was appointed as a fence viewer in 1682 and as constable in 1685, and thereafter was appointed as a surveyor on many occasions. His will was dated 30 Sep 1727, and names his children, but no wife, as she died less than a year earlier. Children: [106]

  • John, b. 25 April 1677, d. Dedham 28 March 1770, aged 93 years lacking a month, m. 23 Dec 1703 Hannah SAVIL, b. c. 1676, d. Dedham 27 May 1766, aged about 90, daughter of Dea Benjamin Savil and Lydia Barnes of Braintree. John was frequently referred to as surveyor and constable in the Dedham town records. On 18 July 1736, John was selected as one of the first deacons of the South Parish Church, upon the church's formation. They had eight children, born in Dedham 1705 to 1719.
  • Sarah, b. 13 Dec 1678, m. _______ HARDEN (Harding?). Sarah was living in Sep 1727 when named "Sary Harden" in her father's will
  • Ebenezer, b. 17 May 1681, d. 30 Oct 1766, aged 86, m. (1) 25 Nov 1706 Mary WHITE, b. c. 1685, d. 19 Jan 1711/2; no known children. He m. (2) c. 1713 Judith LEWIS, b. 6 July 1693, d. 2 Feb 1787, daughter of Barachiah Lewis and Judith Whiting. Ebenezer was a carpenter; he and Judith had eight known children, born 1714 to 1736.
  • Joseph, b. 14 March 1683, m. (1) Mary FAXON; m. (2) Prudence SAUNDERS (see below)
  • Jeremiah, b. 14 March 1683, d. 1756, m. Dedham 26 Jan 1710/1 Mary FISHER. b. 24 July 1687, d. 1770, the daughter of Capt. Joshua Fisher and Esther Wiswall. Jeremiah's name in the Dedham town records is found in connection with surveys and appraisals. His will, dated 25 March 1747, was probated 20 Feb 1756. Mary's will was dated 9 July 1770 and probated 7 Sep 1770. They had nine children born from 1711 to 1725.
  • Elizabeth b. 23 Oct 1689, m. Dedham 27 Dec 1718 John MACNAB, b. Dedham 23 Oct 1678, d. there 8 Dec 1751, the son of James McNabb and Sarah Roper. They had three daughters, born in Dedham 1722 to 1727. The small number of children leads to the possibility that Elizabeth died at an early age, but no remarriage for John has been found in the records.
  • Abigail, b. 12 June 1694, d. 31 Dec 1750 (Fairbanks gen), m. Dedham 3 May 1716 Joseph FAIRBANKS, Jr., b. Dedham 26 April 1687, d. there c. 1754, the son of Joseph and Dorcas Fairbanks of Dedham. Joseph inherited a part of the original homestead of his great grandfather, Jonathan Fairbanks, which had been divided between his father and uncle Benjamin. The Fairbanks House (Dedham, Massachusetts) was declared a National Historic Site in 1960. Jonathan was living on 9 March 1752 when he conveyed this homestead and other property to his son Joseph, Jr. He was likely dead by 22 April 1755 when the younger Joseph conveyed the property to his brothers, but his name in the deed did not include "Jr.". The Dover, Mass. vital record giving Joseph's death year as 1764 appears to be an error. Abigail and Joseph had eight children born in Dedham from 1717 to 1739.

(7g) Joseph Dean, Sr.[edit]

Joseph, the son of John Dean and Sarah [Furrington?], was b. Dedham, Mass. 14 March 1682/3, d. there 20 Dec 1721, and m. (1) Braintree, Mass. 7 May 1707 Mary FAXON, b. Braintree 1689, d. Dedham 12 Oct 1720, the daughter of Thomas Faxon and Mary Blanchard. Joseph m. (2) Boston 25 May 1721 Prudence SAUNDERS, who died in Dedham 4 Dec 1721, with Joseph dying two weeks later, leaving his children, aged 3 to 13, as orphans. Joseph held the title of Ensign, and was called a clothier in his administration papers. Though the family lived in Dedham, Joseph was baptized and joined the church at Milton on 16 Feb 1706/7 just prior to his first marriage. Also in one account of his marriage he was called of Dorchester. Children, b. Dedham: [107]

  • Mary, b. 18 June 1708, m. Dedham 22 Dec 1726 Israel SMITH, b. Dedham 19 June 1697, d. there 24 Aug 1745, the son of Asahel Smith and Elizabeth (Brewer?). A web source gives Mary's death as being Dec 1766 in Dedham, but I have found no record supporting this. Mary and Israel had two sons, born 1731 and 1734.
  • Thomas, b. 28 Oct 1709, d. Dedham 8 Dec 1745, m. Milton, Mass. 7 Oct 1731 Grace WADSWORTH, b. Milton 9 Feb 1709/10, d. Dedham 26 March 1789, the daughter of John Wadsworth and Elizabeth Vose. They had a daughter, Abigail. Grace m. (2) Isaac Bullard, as his second wife, b. Dedham 15 April 1709, d. there on his birthday, 15 April 1770, the son of William Bullard and Elizabeth Avery. Isaac had married first c. 1732 Mary Dean, b. Dedham 1711, d. there 1745, daughter of Jeremiah Dean and Mary Fisher. Grace shares a grave stone with her second husband, Isaac Bullard, in the Old Village Cemetery in Dedham. [108]
  • Joseph, b. Dedham 11 Feb 1710/1, m. Hannah BAKER
  • Sarah, b. 28 July 1713, m. 8 March 1731/2 John B________ per the Dean genealogy. The Faxon genealogy erroneously suggests that this Sarah also married Jonathan Starr. The Sarah Dean who married Jonathan Starr was a daughter of Jeremiah-2 Dean (husband of Mary Fisher and son of John and Sarah Dean).
  • Elizabeth, b. 28 Nov 1717, m. Dedham 16 May 1744 Eleazer STODDARD, b. Newton 11 March 1719/20, d. Mansfield, CT 1772, the son of Eleazer Stoddard and Susannah Hall. They had seven known children born 1745 to 1760, with the first five born in Dedham and the remaining two in Connecticut. FAG memorials have been created for them, though their burial locations are not known. [109]
  • Faxon, b. 27 Jan 1718/9, d. Martinsburgh, NY April 1807, m. Canterbury, CT 15 Oct 1746 Mehetable CLEVELAND, b. Canterbury 16 Feb 1727/8, the daughter of Samuel Cleveland and Sarah Boswell. Faxon and Mehetable had nine known children born 1747 to 1767. The family appears to have been constantly on the move, and online sources indicate that children were born in Canterbury, CT, "Mansfield, Canada" (Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Quebec?), Westfield, Mass., South Brimfield, Mass., and Berkshire, Mass. The following comes from the published history of Lewis County, NY: Faxon Dean (1718-1807) In the month of April, 1807, an unusual fall of snow followed by warm sunny weather, occasioned a flood in all the streams of this region, more destructive than ever before or since witnessed. The mill of General Martin, which stood a few yards above the present one, was undermined and launched into the stream when it floated down and finally lodged and partly went to pieces at the State Road Bridge. Mr. Faxon Dean, father of Samuel Dean, the miller, lodged in a small room in the upper part of the mill, and although advised of possible danger from the flood, remained there on the night that the mill was swept away. He had been a miller in his younger days, and loved the mill and its surroundings. When urged to leave his lodgings on that occasion, he said he liked to hear the dashing of the water, and slept the sounder for it. His cries were heard by the people on the bank, who followed with lanterns the floating building and its inmate but were entirely unable to render the slightest aid. These cries continued until the mill struck the bridge and went to pieces. His body was found among flood-wood some weeks after and was the first one buried in the old graveyard a mile south of the village. Faxon is buried in the Hogsback Cemetery, which is the first burial ground established in Martinsburgh, Lewis Co., NY. [110]

(6g) Joseph Dean, Jr.[edit]

Joseph Dean, the son of Joseph Dean and Mary Faxon, was born Dedham, MA 11 Feb 1710/1, d. Dedham 1779, and married (1) Dedham 11 Dec 1734 Hannah BAKER, b. Dedham 13 Jan 1713/4, d. c. 1753, daughter of John Baker and Sarah Whiting. Following Hannah's death, Joseph married Mary BAKER. The date of this second marriage is a source of confusion. The Dedham vital record gives the date of marriage as 2 Jan 1753, but also gives the date of intention to marry as 12 Dec 1753. John Whiting's Diary gives the marriage date as 17 Jan 1754 (see NEHGR, 1909, p.187). It appears therefore that the intention took place in Dec 1753, and that the marriage took place in Jan 1754, but which day in January requires a coin toss--is it the 2nd or the 17th? [111] [112] Children, b. Dedham:

  • Joseph, b. 17 July 1735, m. 6 April 1757 Sarah BAKER
  • Caroline, b. 19 March 1737, living in Dedham in 1810, m. Dedham 9 Jan 1763 John CARBEE/CARBY, b. c. 1735, d. c. 1795. John was almost certainly the Revolutionary War soldier of his name from Dedham who was a private in Capt Joseph Guild's company of Minute-men, in Col. Greaton's regiment. He marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775, and served for 12 days. He enlisted for several other campaigns as well. John appears with two females in the 1790 census for Dedham, but likely died within the next ten years, as "Carolina Carby" appears on the 1800 Dedham census in a household with one female 45 and over, and one female 26-44. Caroline also appears on the 1810 census in Dedham as "Caroline Carbee" again over 45 with a female 26-44. Online accounts that indicate John Carbee died in 1834 in Vermont likely refer to his son. Caroline and John had six known children, born in Dedham 1763 to1680, some of whom appear to have moved to Newbury, Vermont. [113]
  • Sarah, b. 24 Oct 1740, m. Dedham 9 Nov 1763 Jeremiah FISHER, b. Dedham 10 Nov 1735, d. Dedham 20 Nov 1776, son of Jeremiah-6 Fisher (Jeremiah-5, Daniel-4-3, Anthony-2-1) and Elizabeth Cooke, as his second wife. Jeremiah had married first Esther _______. He died of smallpox after housing a deserted British soldier at his home, and Sarah was left to raise her children. They had seven known children, six of whom survived childhood. [114]
  • Namah, b. 24 May 1744; nothing more known of her. The Dean genealogy, citing the records of Frank Smith, says she died 1 Sep 1833, but this death date belongs to her niece, Naamah (Dean) Draper, which brings its validity into question.
  • Luke, b. 29 May 1750, d. Dover, MA 18 Mar 1825, m. (int Dedham 16 Aug 1771) Rebecca RUSSELL, b. 1 Oct 1754 (per online account), probably the daughter of John Russell, Jr. and Elizabeth Colburn. Luke and Rebecca named one of their eleven children Colburn Dean. Luke was a Revolutionary War soldier, and involved in several engagements. The declaration of independence written by the town of Dedham says that Luke Dean was one of several soldiers who did guard duty around Dedham for 28 days. Dean appears as a resident of Dover, MA in 1779, and is there on the 1800 and 1810 censuses, and it appears his wife is with him during both enumerations. He is buried in Dover. [115] [116] [117]

(5g) Joseph Dean, III[edit]

Joseph Dean, the son of Joseph Dean and Hannah Baker, was born in Dedham, Mass. 17 July 1735, d. there 1829, and m. Dedham 6 April 1757 Sarah BAKER, b. 1742, d. Dedham 14 July 1818, aged 75. The Dean genealogy gives three different service records for a Joseph Dean of Dedham, but which, if any of these, applies to the subject has not been determined. There are two Joseph Deans in Dedham in 1800, and there are three in 1810. Only the one without a senior couple (m & f 45+) can be ruled out. This may be the only Joseph Dean in Dedham in 1820, with male and female aged 45+ and female aged 26-44. If this is the correct Joseph, then the older female may be his widowed daughter, Sarah, since his wife had died. Administration of Joseph's estate was dated 5 May 1829 giving the heirs as "no widow, Molly French, deceased [Mary], Sarah Holmes and Naamah Draper." [118]

John had married first in Dedham 28 April 1774 Esther Rhodes, daughter of Eleazer Rhodes, Jr. and Mary Woolcot. John Holmes appears on the 1790 census in Sharon, and it appears he is enumerated in both Sharon and Dedham in 1800, with similar households except for one person. Sarah and John had six children born in Sharon from 1785 to 1795. The fate of Sarah has not been learned.

Thomas, most probably the son of William Faxon (above), was born say 1600, d. Braintree, Mass. 23 Nov 1680, and m. (1) Swalcliffe, Oxfordshire, England 25 June 1625 Jane/Joan FAWDRY, bapt. Enstone, Oxford 12 June 1603, living 1662, daughter of Richard and Jane Fawdry. Jane/Joan Faxon was living in Brantree on 17 Sep 1662 as cosigner of a deed. Thomas m. (2) Braintree 5 Sep 1670 Sarah (MULLINS)(Gannett) Savill, b. c. 1621 (aged 73 in Aug 1694), d. 1697, the widow of Thomas Gannett of Duxbury and Bridgewater (Plymouth Colony), and of William Savill of Braintree. She was the daughter of William Mullins of Brantree, and granddaughter of William Mullins of the Mayflower. Sarah's will was dated 13 Aug 1694 and proved 25 Nov 1697. Thomas is first of record in New England in 1645 as a leaseholder on the land of Mr. Atherton Hough, but many early Braintree records were lost, and it is likely that Faxon was in New England much earlier. Thomas was made a freeman on 6 May 1657, was a commissioner in 1665, deputy to the General Court in 1669, and selectman from 1670 to 1672. He had extensive land holdings in Braintree and Dorchester, and was one of the original purchasers of Block Island in 1660. Faxon was assigned as "an able knowing man" to accompany Peter Noyse of Sudbury in surveying the island for settlement. Faxon sold his interest in the island in 1662. He died intestate, with administration of his estate given to widow Sarah and daughter Joanna Fisher on 23 Dec 1680, until his grandson Thomas Faxon come of age. The inventory amounted to 859 pounds, a rather substantial sum. Children of Thomas and Jane/Joan, baptized at Swalcliffe, Oxfordshire:

  • Richard, bapt 17 Sep 1626, m. c. 1654 Elizabeth _______ (see below).
  • Joanna, bapt. 19 May 1628, m. Dedham, Mass. 7 Sep 1647 Anthony FISHER (see his sketch)

(9g) Richard Faxon[edit]

Parker-Ruggles Hist.:524-5; We Relate website, citing Braintree records, Faxon Gen (1880), and Savage

Richard, the son of Thomas Faxon and Jane Fawdry, was bapt. Swalcliffe, Oxfordshire, England 17 Sep 1626, d. Braintree, Mass. 20 Dec 1674, and m. c. 1654 Elizabeth (WEBB?), b. c. 1633, d.

Braintree 4 Sep 1711, aged 89, son of Thomas and Anne Hobart of Hingham. Richard's undated will was proved 29 Jan 1674/5, naming sons Josiah and Richard Faxon, their mother, son Thomas; my father; daughters Mary, Sarah, Hannah, and Abigail; wife Elizabeth Faxon; and father Thomas Faxon Senr. Witnesses were Christopher Webb and John Bass. On 29 Jan 1674/5, Richard's inventory was presented in court by his widow, who was named Elizabeth Webb in the document. This, of course, suggests that Elizabeth's maiden name was Webb, and possibly a daughter of Christopher Webb who had numerous close dealings with the Faxons, and in fact was one of the two who made the subject inventory, and a witness to Richard's will. The difficulty is that Elizabeth is not mentioned in the 1671 will of Christopher Webb, nor was he known to have had a daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth has an extant gravestone in the Hancock Cemetery in Quincy, Mass., as does her husband Caleb Hobart. Children: [121]

Thomas, the son of Richard and Elizabeth Faxon, was born at Braintree, Mass. 2 Aug 1662, d. Weymouth, Mass. Aug 1690, and m. Mary BLANCHARD, b. 1 Dec 1662, daughter of Nathaniel Blanchard and Susanna Bates. In August 1690, Thomas joined the expedition of Sir William Phipps against the French in Canada. Before the expedition sailed, he fell victim to smallpox that broke out among the troops. Accounts do not say whether he actually sailed. The Braintree records simply state that on 9 Aug 1690 small pox broke out among the soldiers aboard the vessel, and six died. Four were thrown overboard at Cape Ann, and one other was thrown overboard at Nantaskett. The account does not say what became of the remaining victim. The Faxon genealogy (1880) states that Thomas was buried at Weymouth. Before he was to sail, Thomas left a will dated 4 Aug 1690, calling himself yeoman of Braintree, and "being prest out in the service of the Country in the Expedition against the French and Indians towards Canada..." In it he named his son Richard Faxon and daughter Mary Faxon (both minors); his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard; his mother Basse--Mrs. Susanna Basse; his three sisters, Mary Faxon, Hannah Faxon, and abigail Faxon; his Aunt Fisher; his brother Benjamin Hubbard; kinswomen Deborah Savel, Rebecca Bass, Sarah Weld, and Joanna Wales; Rev.

Thomas Blanchard was from near Andover, Hampshire, England, born say 1595, d. Charlestown, Mass. late spring 1654, and m. (1) in England c. 1621 ______ ______; m. (2) St. Edmunds, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England 15 May 1637 Ann/Agnes (BENT) Barnes, bapt. Penton-Grafton, Hampshire 16 July 1602, d. late spring 1639, daughter of Robert Bent and Agnes Gosling, and widow of Richard Barnes. The marriage license calls him a yeoman and widower of Clatford [Hampshire], England. He m. (3) c. 1640 in Massachusetts Mary _______, who survived him. Thomas and Ann were enrolled at London on 12 April 1639 for passage to New England aboard the Jonathan. According to the journal of their son, Samuel, "I Samuel Blanchard landed in New ingland on the 23 day of Jun in the year 1639." Ann died during the voyage, her infant died about the same time, and her mother died as the voyage ended. A court case at Cambridge on 6 April 1652 was won by Richard Barnes, Jr., the stepson of Thomas Blanchard, who sued Blanchard for 20 pounds due him at his majority from his mother's estate. While Thomas lost the case, the testimony reveals the very difficult circumstances into which he was thrust during his passage to New England, having cared for, but lost his wife, her mother, and their infant during the voyage, and being left with several young children as he arrived onto a new continent. "When Agnes [or Ann] was nere death in the ship she desired her husband Thom Blanchard that when he came to New England, that he would endeavour that her children might have their owne or their due, shee knoweing that it was in Mr [Peter] Noyse his hands for her sonn Barnes; her young child dyed shortly after in the ship. And her husband Thom Blanchard promised that he would, and hath since endeavoured it for her son Richd Barnes as appears..." Three different people gave testimony concerning the care with which Thomas provided his mother-in-law. The testimony of Samuel Hide: "...there was an old woeman lay in a cabbine in the shipp wch this depont [deponent] doth not remember that shee came forth all the tyme that shee was at sea untill she was brought forth to be buried, and sayth there was a bigg gerle there but this depont did not see her to doe anything about the old woeman or if she did it was very little. But this depont doth well remember that he saw the sayd Thomas Blanchard doe much about her and had light about her very much on nights untill shee dyed." Further testimony revealed that Blanchard's mother-in-law died about the time the ship came to port in Boston, Mass., and was buried on land. Thomas made his will 22 May 1654, which was proved 20 June 1654. Children with first wife, born in England:

  • Thomas, b. c. 1622, d. intestate 12mo:1650 (Feb 1650/1), and m. c. 1647 Anna ROLFE, b. c. 1626 (aged 32 in 1658), daughter of Henry and Honor (Rolfe) Rolfe. They settled in Malden. Anna m.

Samuel has an extant gravestone in the West Parish Cemetery in Andover, and second wife Hannah has an extant stone in the South Church Cemetery in Andover.

Perhaps she died much earlier than the date here indicates. [128]

The subject John was apparently in New England by 1635, as the birth of his daughter Mary that year is recorded in the Dedham records, though they were almost certainly living at Watertown at the time (Dedham hadn't even been created at that time). His first estate record appears to be a grant of land in Watertown on 25 July 1636. He was granted four acres in Dedham on 11 Aug 1637, and appears to have been living there by the following year. He was admitted to the Dedham church on 24 April 1638, and his wife on 9 Jan 1639/40. He became a freeman on 13 March 1638/9. He served in numerous capacities in the town government, including selectman many times from 1639 to 1655/6. He was surveyor of highways, and served on a multitude of committees. He is called yeoman of Dedham in his will, dated 16 June 1658 and proved 5 March 1660/1. His inventory, taken 8 Feb 1660/1, totalled 506 pounds, about half of which was real estate. Children:

NEHGR 154(2000):172-4

John Buller was born say 1510, d. by 1568, m. say 1535 Margaret _______, b. say 1515, bur. St. Martin, Barnham, Suffolk, England 3 Aug 1587. Margaret was listed in the 1568 subsidy of Barnham, indicating that John was deceased. John was named in the will of John Kent of Barnham, weaver, dated and proved in May 1538, and there appears to be a close familial tie. Because John Buller was the person of his surname found living in Barnham in 1535, he is assumed to be the father of the following:

  • Henry, b. say 1535, m. Margaret _______ (see below).
  • John, b. say 1538, bur. St. Martin, Barnham 16 Jan 1590/1 as "John Buller brother of Henry Buller."

William Bullard, the son of William Buller and Grace Bignette of Barnham, Suffolk, England, was likely born there c. 1594, d. Dedham, Mass. 23 Dec 1686, and m. (1) a woman whose name is unknown; (2) Cambridge, Mass. 4 Jan 1653 Mary (_______) Grissell, d. Charletwon 17 May 1685, widow of Francis Grissell of Charlestown. The Bullards were from Barnham, but his daughter was baptized at the opposite end of the county in Bradwell. This is likely where future research should be focused. He is most likely the "William Ballard" whose name appears on a list of those delinquent in paying a ship-money tax in 1638. William appears to have come to New England in 1638, and while aboard ship witnessed the will of John Harvie of "Gamscoln", Essex. William resided at Dedham and Charlestown, Mass. He called himself aged 85 and of Charlestown in his will, dated 5 July 1679 and proved 17 March 1686/7, though he died in Dedham. Known children:
