Life Itinerary of John Clement Ogden (RIN 1884) & (MRIN 701)

1844 ca - 1 Jul 1904

.

BIOGRAPHY: John Clement Ogden (RIN 1884) and Rosalie Rice (RIN 1887) were married on 28 Mar 1878 in Reveille, Nye County, Nevada. Their marriage lasted about 15-1/2 years.

The marriage was terminated in a divorce granted in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona on 27 Aug 1892. Their two daughters, Edith Clement Ogden (RIN 1888) and Florence Emilie Ogden (RIN 1655), were about 14 and 13 years of age, respectively, at the time of the divorce. Rosalie Rice would never talk about any members of her family or about her marriage to J.C. Ogden or about her own age.

The only contact that his daughters ever had with him after the divorce were 13 letters he wrote to them over a period of about eleven months, from 19 Apr 1895 until 9 Mar 1896. The letters were all in pencil on ordinary paper and were in the possession of Edith Clement Ogden (RIN 1888) until her death. While she had them Allen O.R. Drachman (RIN 1178) arranged to have a photocopy made of the letters and returned them to Edith. What happened to them after Edith's death is not known. Allen sent the photocopies to his nephew, Allen Ferris Drachman (RIN 1693) about 1993.

Rosalie Rice married a second time, in December 1894, to Judge Lawrence Oscar Cowan, (RIN 2814), in Kingman.

Letter #1: Leadville, Apl 19/95

My Dear Children:

You certainly must remember the remark I made when leaving you. That "it would be a long time before you would see or hear from me, and maybe never."

The first part of that prediction or determination has been I think pretty, (and maybe too) faithfully carried out. And no doubt you have thought (if in your new surroundings you have given or been allowed to give me a thought) that from my silence I intended to carry this latter part out to the letter. Such certainly was my intention at first, but the desire to hear from you has grown so great I may say uncontrollable that I write you. I fear though in vain, believing you will not be allowed to reply. I am thinking of going to the Gold fields of South America sometime in the near future and as the country through which we are obliged to travel to reach them is exceptionally unhealthy, there is a possibility that some of us may fall victims to the fever. So I wish to be in communication with you. I haven't the slightest idea as to where you are living, having never heard of or from you since I left. I write you in care of Eugene Trippel (RIN 1060), (his brother-in-law by marriage to Katherine F. Rice (RIN 2054), sister of JCO's wife, Rosalie Rice). He surely knows where you are.

I trust you will write me soon and send me your last photos and believe me if so long silent,

Your loving father,

J.C. Ogden (signed)

c/o C. Humoller

320 Harrison Avenue

Address as above and it will be forwarded to me.

(Apparently both his daughters wrote to him, This is obvious from the texts of the 13 letters here listed)

Letter #2: Leadville, Col May 7, 1895

My Dear Florence:

You say "How long." Oh, how long the time has been since we parted and how changed every-thing is.

Well you may emphasize it. It has been long and the current of our lives is surely changed. Where that current is carrying us to, whether to further disappointment or ultimately to a haven of happiness - the future must tell. Into the future you can look hopefully, for that is natural to youth. At times I become almost desperate in looking back and contrasting what has been and what might have been, and see disappointment followed by disappointment and ever increasing. I begin to believe in regard to life as Caesar says "Cui Bono" - i.e. - for what good.

From the foregoing you will think I have become despondent. Measurably so, I am, but not in a customary sense. The sad tone of your letter aggravated by a fit of melancholy puts me in this blue mood.

Your mother's marriage was news to me, but not unexpected (Rosalie Rice had remarried, after her divorce from JCO. She married, Dec 1894 in Kingman, Arizona, Lawrence Oscar Cowan (RIN 2814). I am pleased to hear you are so happy under the new condition of affairs and trust you will always be so.

The bicycle craze is on here the same as elsewhere, but do you think it just the thing for a lady. I don't, but maybe that is fogyism.

Sister says you are practicing typewriting, that is very nice to know, but I hope and believe you will never have to depend upon it or anything else.

When you have any pictures taken don't fail to send me one. The one you sent is better than nothing, but miserably taken. I suppose all the pictures taken when you were younger are fine. I have not a picture of either of you but the last one.

your loving father,

J.C. Ogden (signed)

Letter #3: Leadville, Col

May 21/95

My dear Children:

Your letter reached here this evening. I am delighted to hear of and from you once more - and to know for a certainty that you are in the land of the living.

The past few years have been far from pleasant ones for me - having been constantly haunted with doubts and dreads concerning yourselves - doubts as to whether your affection for me had gradually waned until entirely lost and dreads fearing some misfortune might have befallen you and possibly death had taken either or both of you. My anger said keep silent but my desire to know about you became uncontrollable and the latter conquered. For my long silence I feel that in justice to you I am to blame, but anger, if there is any justification for that feeling and I fully believe there is in my case, must be my excuse. But don't think for a moment tho' that I have harbored such a feeling toward either of you - far from it. My affection for you is stronger today than it ever was, and nothing I believe can change it. You will remember the old song. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", and very true it is.

The South American project I mentioned in my last letter has been abandoned and I think the North West will be our next stopping place. When I say "next" I think of the Wandering Jew, pretty near which I feel I am - that is, the Wanderer part, the Jew part I never can acquire.

We have a mild attack of the Yukon fever now and probably that will be the point we will ultimately reach.

Write me fully about yourselves - anything you can say, remember will be news to me, and if you can send me your latest pictures. I am anxious to see how you look stepping in to Womanhood.

Your loving father,

J.C. Ogden (signed)

Letter #4: Leadville, Col.

June 5/95

My Dear Edith:

Your letter with the photograph reached me yesterday.

I can see from the photo (which I can see is a poor one) a great change in your appearance and Florence's as well, but no more probably than one should expect in several years, at your ages. Before leaving here I will have my picture taken and send you each a copy. You will no doubt see a change in me, although I can see but little, if any. I am pleased, yet not surprised, to hear that you are so advanced in your studies, not surprised in knowing that you have the capabilities and the desire to learn. In my pride I read portions of your letters to a friend of mine, a highly educated man, and he expressed surprise at, as he termed it, the faultless composition, fine penmanship, etc.,

for children of your age and I know it to be no idle compliment.

I am doubly pleased to hear you are taking such an interest in Music, and show fine taste in your selections.

I am sorry you have no opportunity of taking Drawing Lessons as it is a beautiful accomplishment and I believe you both have the true artistic instinct which would soon develop itself after a few lessons, with patience and practice.

I have this winter, as a pastime, made several drawings, as presents, which are prized very highly by the owners. The last one, my "Chef d'ouvre" - a nude, yet not immodest nude, "Preparing for the Bath" 20 x 28 inches. I devoted a great deal of time to and have been very highly complimented for it. It will pass anywhere as a work of art, I believe.

I would like to be able to devote more time to drawing as I enjoy it. What I have done this winter has been without the expectation of remuneration in a desultory way, a little at a time as leisure  allows and when in the mood.

For some time I have had an idea of a picture (large) in my head, which I will elaborate and send to you, but don't expect it soon as it will take time and very little of that I have to spare at present.

You must have grown very rapidly to weight as you say, 116 lbs. Your picture shows in the crease? or do you call it dimple? in your neck a fair allowance of flesh. Neither of you I think though will ever be "Big" unless you are cases of what the Physiologists call atavism, that is showing characteristics of some remote ancestor. Surely your immediate ones are diminutive enough.

You wrote on Decoration Day and mention roses, which would indicate pleasant weather there. I question whether a rose ever bloomed here without forcing. This country is seasonless. It snows at all times of the year and is doing so now, as it has constantly for weeks past, but in this high altitude, 10250 feet, one cannot expect much else. Colorado, that is the mountainous part of it, is far from a desirable place to live. The climate is execrable. No good society, although a great deal of wealth, but that in the hands of ignorant men. In fact taking the population as whole there is more ignorance as the statisticians say "per capita" than any place I was ever in. I' ve not felt really well since I've been here and will shortly leave. We are preparing now for an extended trip West (Northwest). When we reach the coast or the neighborhood of the coast I will run down to S.F and trust you can arrange it to see me there, but of that we will talk in the future.

Your loving father,

J.C. Ogden (signed)

Letter #5: Leadville,

July 22, '95

My Dear Edith:

Your letter reached me a long time ago and I suppose you have thought from my not answering before that I must have left here.

Until now I've not been able to write as I have been suffering from an abscess on my right breast making writing, or any use of my arm, out of the question.

Yesterday I underwent an operation under the influence of Chloroform and am relieved of the intense pain enough to write you.

I hope you had the pleasant time on the "4th" that the "Bright red programme" you speak of

?????????? 

promised.

My ailment was well on its way at that time and the consequent pain would not allow of my enjoying anything if there had been anything to enjoy, which there was not.

The drawing I promised you as you will understand can not be made just now with a next to useless arm, but trust I will be able to make it before I leave which will be some time next month.

I am very sorry to hear of McKenzie's mental and financial troubles, of course the former being caused by the latter.

I have been engaged in Mining, but am not at present and will not be again in this neighborhood.

You say you have but two cats now. Isn't that enough? Somewhere in the West or South they gauge a Man's poverty by the number of his dogs, the more dogs, the greater the poverty. If the same rule applies to cats you have reached the comparative degree.

I will write longer next time,

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

P.S. I see you sign yourself, Edith Clement Ogden, parting your name in the middle as we say. Do you always sign it that way, and do you wish me to so address?

- - - - - - -

Letter #6: Leadville, July 22,'95

My dear Florence:

You will see from a reading of my letter to Edith, the cause of my not writing sooner.

You certainly have your hands full of correspondence and a cosmopolitan one too. Your Italian correspondent is easily a "Blood," Colonna being a very ancient and noble name. How did you come to correspond with her?

I have not read the works you speak of, but will if I can find them here. Descriptive accounts of Alaska, though I have read many, and believe the country to be, if not an El Dorado, a place where money can be made rapidly. Do propose giving it a trial.

Here money can be made in a small way in Mining, but the methods are entirely different from the West, and the people as well.

You say you are quite an ardent stamp collector. We have a boy in the office here, who is quite an enthusiast in that line (and only in that), and has a large collection. I read him the portion of your letter informing to that and he wished me to enclose some sheets of stamps, but I will not as my stay will be limited to probably a few weeks.

If you think he can assist you in any way, I will give you his address, so when I'm gone you can write him.

I've not yet had my picture taken and will not in my present state, as it will be a Ghost-like looking affair. I have grown very thin in the past few weeks, weighing but 130 lbs today.

Write soon,

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

Letter #7: Leadville, Col

Aug 20, '95

My dear Florence:

Yours of the 31st July came to hand some time ago. You ask when I intend leaving here. The time is now set for the 6th Sept. but may be a few days later.

Your correspondent Donna Vittoria (whose letter I return) certainly writes a very nice letter and I can understand, if your other correspondents write as well, that you must derive a great deal of pleasure from your large correspondence.

My "Philatelic friend", as you call him, (the word I must confess was a new one to me), sends you some Central American stamps which he hopes you may not have duplicates of. His collection is a general and pretty large one and he is increasing it from weekly exchanges from outside places. When he has any more of the C.A. kind he will send them to you if I am not here.

You ask what I have been reading lately, novels principally, of course, with a mixture of my old favorites, the Poets.

Better reading than novels is very scarce here, rarely do I find a person that has any taste for heavier reading. In fact have never met one with a good literary taste - that is - what I consider good.

I know you must have found much enjoyment from a reading of Don Quixote. If a person could only remember a tithe of the apt proverbs Sancho Panza vomits forth the reading will be well repaid

You can still address me here and if I'm gone they will forward,

Your loving father

J. C. Ogden

Letter #8: Leadville, Col

Aug. 20/95

My Dear Edith:

Yours of the 3rd came to hand some time ago, and should have been answered sooner. A little of the warm weather you speak of having would be very desirable here. It having rained daily for some time and the weather generally is too cool for comfort.

I am pleased to hear you take such an interest in cooking. It is well to know it if you never have to put it in practice. Sister's criticisms as to the "substantiability" of your cooking I suppose you pay little attention to. I don't suppose she has time to dabble with "Grub", her time being occupied with correspondence.

I don't remember reading or hearing of the Bicycle tourists you speak of but the town is full of them, transient as well as local. The craze is on here the same as elsewhere. All classes being touched with it, from the richest to the poorest and from gray headed old age to the "Kid" just able to walk. But I have not yet tried it.

"Aunt Sue" writes you a very nice letter which I return. I will write to Gran, thanks for the address.

I enclose you a clipping from a Denver paper. Is the M.D. Howell mentioned, our Howell? If so and you know the result of his trial, write me about it.

My arm or breast is about well, that is healed, but not entirely well.

Your loving father,

J.C. Ogden

Letter #9: DeLamar,

Nov. 12th, 1895

My Dear Edith:

You have without doubt been long expecting to hear from me, in answer to your last letter which was received in Leadville, a short time before leaving there. I have no excuse to offer for not writing sooner other than the upset feeling incident to moving around.

I arrived here somewhat over a month ago and met with a very cordial reception from both Mr. And Mrs. Plummer, who you will maybe remember of my speaking about as old Lake Superior friends.

The Captain, as we call him here, and who is manager of this large-paying property immediately gave me a good position, with a very good one promised in the near future.

You can hardly imagine the pleasure it gave me to meet my old friends after the years I have spent with uncongenial people. I spend the evening with them occasionally reminiscing but find them very much changed comparing them with myself, that is in appearance. Mrs. Plummer (nee Panny McIntyre) is the mother of three children, two girls, or more properly speaking, young ladies, and one boy. Her hair is snow white which contrasts strikingly with her youthful face. The Captain is also very gray.

They have accumulated a great deal of money and enjoy it. The daughters are highly educated and accomplished, having been schooled both in Europe and Canada.

Mrs. Plummer questions me often about you and Florence as to your looks and accomplishments and evidently takes a great interest in you.

The McIntyre girls, of which Mrs. Plummer is one, knew all of my family and regarded them at one time almost as relations, which will account for the interest she takes in you.

I wish you had some late pictures so I could show her what you look like. Don't fail to send me one when you have them taken. Hereafter, feeling as if I was settled, I will write you promptly and trust you will do the same.

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

Will write to Florence tomorrow,

Address DeLamar

Owyhee Co, Idaho

The DeLamar Mining Company, (Limited)

DeLamar, Owyhee County, Idaho

DeLamar,

Nov. 14, 1895

My dear Florence:

As you will have learned from my letter to Edith I have changed my habitat and am located here and I hope for a long time, as everything seems natural. The people are almost entirely western with the exception of the Plummers who of course are Canadians, but already westernized. You can have no idea how pleasant the change is from Colorado where everything is Eastern in method.

My intention was, you will remember, to drift West and finally go to the Yukon River, but meeting with this oasis, I have changed my mind, at least for the present. Do not imagine from oasis I mean a delightful, natural spot, for the camp is far from it, being situated in a narrow canon as all mining camps are or generally are with a surrounding desert country, the counterpart of Nevada.

My coming here and the warm reception I met with from my next to forgotten friends brings to mind a circumstance that happened in Colorado two years ago:

While surveying in a new camp in the Rocky Mts., I came across a man by the name of Horan, formerly a miner in Tybo and who instantly recognized me. He is an enthusiastic spiritualist and upon one of my visits to him had the spirits tell my fortune. The fortune, as all fortunes are, was good, and seeing my skepticism wished me to write it down, but which I did not, though I recollect it. Now the strange part is that so far, as to time and circumstance the prophecy is true, let us hope from that, if it is a faint belief, that the latter part will prove as true. If so we'll all be happy yet.

Will you inquire if Sam Butler is still in the neighborhood of Kingman? I would like to write him for information concerning the "Burro" mine in the South. If it is still unsold and is what I think it is I think it could be sold through a party here.

Hereafter, being settled, will write you promptly,

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

Letter #ll: DeLamar,

Idaho,

Dec. 18/95

My Dear Edith:

Your long looked for letter has reached me at last. I began to think that your letters must have miscarried.

You say the 5th was your birthday. What age were you then? Sixteen? That is what I make it. You say also that you are beginning to feel "rather large". I don't think you need to feel afraid of ever being "big" as that is not characteristic of either your Mother's or my family.

I am surprised to hear of your Aunt Mollie's death, but pleased to know that she made a successful marriage thus leaving the children well provided for. How many did she leave?

DeLamar of course is a mining camp and far from pleasantly situated, being in a deep narrow canon and at present covered with snow. There is no society but Mr. and Mrs. Plummer and family. There are very few Americans here. The company being English and the officers and employees English and Canadians with whom I can not agree politically but socially find them very pleasant company.

It is unfortunate you have no opportunity for taking Music lessons, and I suppose if you had you could hardly afford it. In a short time I will be able to assist you. My expenses have been pretty large since I came here as the officials with whom I associate are very dressy, so compelling me to be the same. I am still in the position I took when I came here. The new plant of which I am to have charge not being completed. Until then my salary will be comparatively small ($150.00 per month), the other position will pay me much more.

I hoped and intended to send yourself and Florence a substantial Christmas present, but for the reasons given above am unable to. In the near future tho, you can look for it,

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden- - - - - - -

Jan 19, 1896

My Dear Edith:

Your letter reached me several days ago and I have delayed answering thinking I could make arrangements to send you some money but this pay day it is impossible. I have in my pocket now $60.00 and would like to send it to you but I am making a mining venture with it and other money which I believe will result in "Big" money for all of us.

I am not extravagant by any means but the Holidays have played havoc with my purse as I wrote Florence.

Pay day is not far off now when I will send you something substantial.

I wrote Florence for your Mother's picture. Please see that I get it.

I have forgotten which I wrote to , you or Florence, about the fortune that was told me in Colorado. So far nothing has turned out as predicted and i believe the investment (that I am making for you) will turn out profitably. Let us hope so anyway. "Nothing ventured nothing won". I wrote to Bridge the other day asking about English, Hawkins, Later et all, will probably hear from him in a few days. Have you heard from or about any of them? I met there the other day Joe Parron, a big Mining Man and an Austin (Nevada) acquaintance who I am investing my "little pile" with which let us pray will turn out all right. Don't forget your Mother's picture.

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

Letter #13: DeLamar, Owyhee Co., Idaho

Mar 9, 1896

My Dear Edith:

I expect you have wondered why I have not written you before and well you may as it is a very long time since I received your letter. I did not wish to write you without sending you some money but was unable to do so. The party owing me promising to pay from day to day and yet the day has not arrived. My last month's pay went entire into my venture. I enclose you $5.00, a very small sum, but accept it as an earnest of something larger in the future. I return the photos by this mail, upon the old picture your Mother received many compliments. I have had a letter from Bridge with a suit of clothes, but he gave me little or no news of the Frisco people. I am sorry to hear of Hawkins' death and the circumstances attending it. His connections have certainly acted heartlessly. Pride, if not pity or love, should not have allowed him to die in a hospital.

There is no photographer here but there probably will be one in a short time when you shall have my picture.

Your loving father,

J. C. Ogden

Death of Mr. Ogden

One day this week Judge Kelley received a letter from Mokelumne, Calif., announcing the death of John C. Ogden at that place at 1 p. m. on July 1.

Mr. Ogden left here about two months ago in the hope of benefitting his health, he being a sufferer from miner's consumption. This hope proved futile, however, as he gradually grew worse, although he was in a nice climate and amid pleasant surroundings. The place where he died is about 15 miles east of Stockton.

Mr. Ogden worked in the mines at Wardner for about six years. He was a man of good education and unusual intelligence, a great reader, fond of the natural sciences and exceedingly well versed in general history. There were few subjects upon which he could not converse with interest and profit to his hearers, so that his society was sought by persons of literary and scientific tastes. He was broad in his views and free from dogmatism and superstition. He recognized no creed but liberty of thought, worshipped at no shrine but the truth and acknowledged no brotherhood but that of universal humanity.

The deceased has held responsible and profitable positions among the mines of California, in which state he spent the most active part of his life. He was about 58 years old. He was legally separated from his wife. He leaves two grown daughters, both of whom are living in Arizona, one a teacher in the public school at Tucson. He died with expressions of gratitude upon his lips for the tender ministrations of the strangers among whom fate had placed him, and it remains for his surviving friends in this place, where he acted out the last chapter in the drama of an industrious life, to emulate his virtues and cast the mantle of charity over his failings. John Ogden left foot-prints on the sands of time which are well worthy of following, and which will keep his name green in the memory of his friends for many years.

- - - - - - -

Very little more about John Clement Ogden (RIN 1884) has been uncovered. The following few paragraphs will describe how the location of his grave was discovered in August 1968 by his grandson, Allen O. R. Drachman, (RIN 1178); and his great-grandson, David Allen Drachman, (RIN 1244). This has been written by Allen, (RIN 1178).

In the fall of 1939 I was transferred from where I was working for the United States Gypsum Com-pany in Midland, Riverside County, California to another USG prospecting operation near Lovelock, Pershing County, Nevada.

Since my grandfather was buried in Mokelumne Hill I routed my auto travel through the town of Mokelumne Hill on my way to Heath. I was only in Mokelumne Hill for a few hours but I asked around the small village among a few people on the street if they had ever heard of John Clement Ogden. This was 35 years after JCO's death and burial. I thought that there was possibly a chance someone remembered him. I restricted my search to a number of elderly men who were sitting, sunning themselves in front of the few buildings in the very small town. No one knew anything about him.

I then went to the Protestant Cemetery and looked around there. It was a small cemetery, but I did not find any information and there was no caretaker nor caretaker's office in evidence, so I went on after several hours of searching.

According to what my mother, Florence Emilie Ogden, (RIN 1655), had told me: She and her sister, Edith Clement Ogden, (RIN 1888), had heard from their father from Mokelumne Hill in 1904 and that he was very sick and wanted to see them. He asked them to come up to see him. My mother had just given birth, within the last month, to her firstborn child, Harry Cowan Drachman, (RIN 1664). In addition she had had the measles during her confinement and had been advised by her physician not to go. Cowan had been born on 1 May 1904 in Tucson.

That was the last contact that either Florence or Edith had had with their father. I do not know why my Aunt Edith did not go, but I suspect it could have been lack of funds. She was married about 1904 and that could have occurred about the time her father died.

This letter must have been received in May or June, 1904, because their father died on 1 Jul 1904.

In the summer of 1968, with my son David, we spent two weeks traveling around California on a vacation and sight-seeing trip. We visited Mokelumne Hill on that trip. There was an old hotel there that had recently been refurbished in its old original style. David and I had lunch there.

After lunch we went into the hotel registration desk, which as I remember was in the hotel's bar. I asked the bartender, if by any chance, they had a hotel register from 1904. He said yes, reached under the bar and pulled it out.

I searched the register for the time prior to 1 Jul 1904 and prior to that date found an entry with my grandfather's signature. I recognized it as his signature, because on the 13 original letters listed above he had signed them exactly as in the register. He had an excellent Spencerian writing style.

I copied the signature entry with my Minox camera and made copies of it when I got back home. I sent most of my genealogical records to my nephew, Allen Ferris Drachman, (RIN 1693) in Concord, California, and he must still have a copy of our ancestor's signature.

I noted that although most of the registrants had paid their bills, (the amount for the rooms, were indicated as `Paid: $2.00', or `Paid $3.00' beside the names). There was no indication of my grandfather having paid his bill.

David and I went to the tiny little town library and asked there if there was a cemetery office for the Protestant Cemetery, but was told there was no office nor caretaker. I asked who might know anything about the cemetery and was told that a Mrs. Paul (?) who lived in a house adjoining the cemetery would know the most about it.

David and I went to her home and talked with her. She said that she remembered there was a grave marker with the name Ogden on it, but that it and many others like it, were made of wood. As a child she had often played in the cemetery and she was familiar with many of the markers.

 She also told us that there had been a brush fire in the cemetery and that through the carelessness of the caretaker the brush had become tangled about many of the markers and that they were consumed by the fire.

She described where my grandfather had been buried, between two other stone markers that she detailed for us.

We went to the cemetery and I made photographs of the location that she described and also made photographs of the lanes and roads leading to the location of the gravesite from the entrance gateway. There was a wooden archway at the main entrance to the little cemetery.

I printed these photos with the Minox enlarger I had and sent them with an accompanying plan showing where the grave site was and the route carefully marked, and coordinated, with the photos to my Aunt Edith. Edith had been born in December, 1878 in Belmont, Nevada so she was in her 90th year.

She prevailed upon her son, Nelson Cowan Tompkins, (RIN 1890), and his wife, Ila Van Buskirk, (RIN 1894), and my sister, Florence Rosalie Drachman, (RIN 1668), to drive her from Tucson, through Kingman, Arizona and through Nye County, Nevada all the way to Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras County, California.

They stopped in Kingman and in some of the mining camp towns where Edith had lived as a child with her parents and sister and looked up local records and information on the family. The copies of these that she gave me were sent on to my nephew, Allen Ferris Drachman, about 1991 or 1992.

The data from those records have been entered in the individual notes for the people involved which are in the File of Notes of which this Note is one.

On that trip made by Edith and Nelson and Nelson's wife and my sister, they visited a local monument company in the vicinity of Mokelumne Hill and had a very nice stone monument, about 4 feet high, carved, with my grandfather's name, his birth and death dates, and a Masonic Symbol on it, paid for it and had it installed in the place I had indicated on the plan and photos I had sent to her.

After the monument had been erected Edith had a woman friend, who was an acquaintance of Nelson's and who lived somewhere nearby in California, take pictures of the monument and send them to Edith. She sent a copy of one of the photos to me. I have sent it on to my nephew, Allen Ferris Drachman.

My Aunt Edith lived more than four years additional. She passed away on 4 Mar 1973, in Tucson, at the age of 94 years, 2 months, 27 days -- the oldest-lived relative that I know of in the entire family.

Children of John Ogden and Rosalie Rice are:

7. Bridget or Deila Geraghty, born Abt. 1834 in County of Meath, Ireland; died October 28, 1866 in Sacramento, Sacramento Co, California, USA.

Notes for Patrick Rice:

Patrick Rice -

PARENTS: The only information known about the parents of Patrick Rice is on the back of the certificate of marriage to

Patrick's second wife, Catherine Sexton. This information states that his parents were John Rice and Elizabeth O'Hair. That

certificate and baptismal certificates of 6 of his 7 children are located in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California. The oldest child's certificate, Mary Rice (RIN 2050), is not there, indicating that Mary may have been born before the Rices came to Sacramento. Mary may have been born in San Francisco, but all vital records in existence at the time of the earthquake and fire of April 1906 were destroyed by that calamity. A check of the re-recordation of records that took place after the San Francisco earthquake and fire showed no re-recording of her birth or of the marriage of Patrick and Bridget.

An inquiry to the Sacramento County Clerk on 3 Aug 1963 resulted in a statement from the clerk that no record of a will for

Patrick Rice was on file.

MARRIAGE: Patrick Rice was married twice, first, to Bridget (sometimes called Deila) Geraghty; and second, to Catherine

Sexton. There were 7 children of the first marriage and none of the second marriage.

DEATH: Patrick Rice was crushed to death by a locomotive in the railroad yard of Sacramento, California, just prior to

Christmas in 1891. He had visited a friend who lived or worked near the railroad yard and as he left he walked unknowingly in

front of the moving locomotive. An article about his fatal accident was printed in the Sacramento Bee newspaper immediately

after his death.

Notes for Bridget or Deila Geraghty:

Bridget or Deila Geraghty

NAME: Bridget Geraghty was also known as Deila.

DEATH: Bridget Geraghty died in childbirth with her tenth delivery. She bore 7 living children and three stillborn infants.

The family gravestone, a large 12 feet or more tall stone monument in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Sacramento, states that her

thre (sic) infants are buried with her. Patrick Rice, her husband, is buried in the same family plot.

 The photograph was taken October 13, 1984 by Allen Ferris Drachman during his visit to the gravesite. The stone is in the St. Joseph Cemetery in Sacramento. The condition of the stone is still good.

Notes for Catherine Sexton:

Catherine Sexton

MARRIAGE: Catherine Sexton was the second wife of Patrick Rice. They were married after Patrick's first wife, Bridget or Deila

Geraghty (RIN 2048) had died. Catherine had Sexton relatives living in the Sacramento, California area.

PARENTS: The only other information known about Catherine Sexton is on the back of a marriage certificate in the Cathedral of

the Blessed Sacrament, in Sacramento, California, where she and Patrick Rice were married on 19 Jul 1869. It states that her

parents were Patrick Sexton and Margaret Tobin

Children of Patrick Rice and Bridget Geraghty are:

Notes for Samuel Ogden:

Samuel Ogden - 1824

MARRIAGE: Samuel Ogden (RIN 1824) was married twice. He married, first, Rachel Gardiner (RIN 1832). He married, second,

Johanna Schellinx (RIN 1829).

Samuel was a resident of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, (known since mid-1700's as Elizabeth, Un-ion County, New Jersey) where he was born. Since he married his second wife at Easthampton, Long Island (now known as East Hampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York), he may have remained there a short time.

In 1711 we find him again at Elizabethtown, and an "Overseer of the Highways." In 1712 he was made Constable. He died, aged

about 37, having made his will 26 Nov 1714. His will was proved 10 Feb 1714/1715.

He apparently had four children, the first, Rachel Ogden, must have been by his first wife. The fourth, Samuel Ogden 2nd. must

have been by his second wife. It is not clear which marriage resulted in the second and third children, Johanna Ogden and

Rebecca Ogden, but they have been placed in the first marriage, to Rachel Gardiner.

LAND: Amagansett is mentioned in the East Hampton Town Records by that name as early as 1650. As often as not, today, it is affectionately called "Gansett." About 1670, three East Hampton men--Thomas Mulford, Jeremiah Conklin and Rev. Thomas James--bought from the Indians a large tract of land at Montauk. This was called the "nine-score purchase" because the three men who bought it were reimbursed when they conveyed it to the Montauk proprietors by an allotment of 180 acres at Amagansett.

Descendants of Mulford and Conklin were living in Amagansett before long; Mr. James sold his share to Abraham Schellinger in 1683. In 1572 owners of the land at Amagansett asked the town authorities to lay out a road, which is now Main Street. A year or two earlier, prospective Amagansett settlers had thought to locate on Town Lane; but failed to reach water there. Good drinking water was very important, so the settlers chose a spot within easy distance of the old Indian well, where a spring bubbled up through a hollowed-out pepperidge tree. The well was in a hollow, where the Bluff Road meets the road to the bathing beach. The regular trail of the Indians going on and off Montauk was along the bluff and then into East Hampton by Further Lane and Skimhampton Road.

The first settlers continued to use the Indian way to Montauk for a hundred years and not their present Main Street, according to Mrs. Gene Fitch Barnes, whose "Colonial Village of Amagansett" was published in 1920. Indian Well Hollow Highway was broken through farm land to join with the hollow and the beach and Further Lane. It was not until 1784 that a lane was opened at Pantigo ("as ye East Plaines are commonly called," according to a 17th century deed)--through land owned by the Daytons of Spring Close, coming out at the Schellinger property in Amagansett. This is now a section of the Montauk Highway.

The Baker (1680), Schellinger (1690), Conklin (1695) and Barnes (1700) families were first to move three miles eastward from East Hampton to settle Amagansett. They were younger sons who wanted more room to grow in. Before long, members of the Hand, Mulford, Miller, Edwards, Leek, Loper, Stratton and Bennett families had joined them, and later the Kings and the Lesters. In 1700 Amagansett was called a "thriving village." By 1810 there were thirty houses and a schoolhouse; in 1843 there were fifty houses. Amagansett's official population in the 1950 census, was 974. From its first settlement until fifty years ago or so, Amagansett lived almost entirely upon fishing, farming and whaling. Of recent years it has become, like its neighbors, a popular summer resort, although still quiet and unspoiled.

Abraham was baptized 20 Sep 1662 (probably born 11 Feb 1659), died 1 Jan 1711/1712, married Joanna Hedges on 15 Nov 1685 or 15 Nov 1688; she died 1 Nov 1708. Their children were Johanna Schellinx who married Samuel Ogden of Newark, New Jersey on 10 Sep 1707; Rachel Schellinger, born 8 Nov 1691, who married David Gardiner of Gardiner's Island on 15 Apr 1712/1713; William Schellinger born 9 Apr 1694; Abraham Schellinger, born 29 Jun 1697, died sine prole 5 Nov 1718; Isaac Schellinger, born 17 Mar 1699 (who inherited land in Westchester County and removed to New Jersey as a young man); Amy Schellinger, born 17 Jun 1701, (who married Joshua Plumb of New London, Connecticut on 11 Nov 1723); Zerviah Schellinger , baptized 1705 (who married Samuel Hudson on 9 Nov 1722).

Abraham Schellinger's children all inherited from their uncle, Daniel Schellinger. Abraham bought a great deal of land (see East Hampton Star, p 2, for 14 Aug 1952 and 4 Sep 1952) and this was more than 100 years later, to result in family squabbles over property. In a deed of 1702 he is referred to as "Abraham Schellinx, Cooper."

Notes for John Ogden:

June 1998:

From "The Early History of Southampton, L. I....", second edition, by George Rogers Howell, Albany: Weed, Parsons and Company, 1887, page 434:

"Ogden, John, Mr., freeman May 31, 1650. Was the leader in the settlement at North Sea with five other families besides his own in Feb. 1649/50. 1663 has son John and nephew John O. Here in 1665, but in 1667 is said to be of Feversham. In Feb. 1663 he is said to be J. O. of Feversham, and Elizabethtown was settled in Nov. 1664. But Feb. 1663=Feb 1663/4. So far our records. Hinman says he was at Stamford, Ct., in the latter part of 1641 or early 1642. Had w. Jane, who, according to tradition, was sister of Robert Bond. Hatfeld says he had brother Richard. In 1644 those two brothers removed to Hempstead, L. I., of which John Ogden was one of the patentees. He went, says Dr. Hatfeld, to Achter Kol or Elizabeth with his adult sons John, Jonathan, David, Joseph and Benjamin. Here as in his other residences he was appointed to posts of honor and responsibility. Dr. H. gives further information, which is beyond the scope of these pages. Samuel O. of Elizabeth m. Johana Schellinger of E. Hampton, Sept 10, 1707. John O. of same place m. Mary Osborn of E. Hampton, Oct. 8, 1722."

From page 29 of the same reference: "...nor is it at all probable that in the beginning of the settlement and at a time when there were but few families, and these in constant fear of the Indians, they would benture to scater their numbers so widely. The first permanent one, after the one at Southampton, was at North Sea, in 1650, when John Ogden received permission from the town to settle there with six families, who were to have 321 acres of land, and were to form a community by themselves upon conditions agreed upon as follows: Feb. 21, 1649 [i.e. 1449-50]. It is granted by the major parte of this towne that Mr. Ogden and his company shall have Cow Neck and Jeffery Neck for their owne proper Right; also, that they shall have for their planting Land in either or both of said necks three hundred 24 Acres of said Land provided they settle upon it and ..."

References cited in the preface of the above source include: Hatfield's "History of Elizabeth" and Hinman's "Puritans of Connecticut." (page vi, Preface].

From "Memorials of Old Bridgehampton", by James Truslow Adams, privately printed, Bridgehampton, Long Island, 1916, page 42: "I here call the reader's attention to the fact that all dates in the Records prior to the change in the Calendar are 'old style,' and I have thus quoted them without change so as to make my references agree with the Printed Records to which they refer."

and tradition says she was the sister of Robert Bond, an intimate associate of John Ogden, both in Southampton, Long Island,

and in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. In his will, John Ogden refers to her as his "Deare and beloved wife and soe hath been for

above fowerty yeares," (the spelling probably being that of Isaac Whitehead).

She was made administratrix of her husband's estate on 14 Sep 1682.

About a year after being widowed, on 14 May 1683, she petitioned Council to secure to her the rights of 300 acres in

Elizabethtown.

The date of the death of Jane is not mentioned, neither is the place of sepulcher of herself or her husband definitely known.

Doubtless, their dust lies beneath the rear of the present edifice of the First Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

The first meeting house was of wood and of an humble style of architecture. It was replaced by a new church in 1724, which

was 58 feet long and 42 feet wide. An addition of 15 ft was made in the rear in 1766. This church was burned by the British

and Tories on the night of 25 Jan 1780. Washington spoke of it as "the late misfortune and disgrace of Elizabeth Town."

The erection of a new church was begun in 1784, and completed in 1789. It has many times been extended and improved. The

steeple of the church, caught fire 160 years after the new church was completed, about the 1950's. The latest repairs, noted

by Allen O. R. Drachman when he attended church there one Sunday in the 1960's left the steeple off altogether. The part of

the building that was the base of the steeple was now flat.

It was the custom of the early settlers to bury their dead immediately in the rear of their meeting houses, and probably the

first two or three generations of the settlers of Elizabethtown are buried under the greater part of the present edifice. It

is therefore reasonable to suppose that among them lie the bodies of John and Jane Ogden, awaiting the resurrection of the

just. No headstones remain as memorials of their eventful, but successful lives, although some of the old brown slabs removed

to give room for the additions to the church were set in the walls, bearing as early a date as that of 1687. But their

monument is imperishably located in the hearts of their appreciative and loving descendants--a monument more enduring than

that of marble or bronze.

Children of John Ogden and Jane Bond are:

132. Jacob Schellinger, born Abt. 1626; died June 17, 1693. He was the son of 264. Daniel Schellinger. He married 133. Cornelia Melyn April 07, 1653 in Nieuw Amsterdam, New York.

133. Cornelia Melyn, born Bef. 1629; died February 25, 1716/17. She was the daughter of 266. Cornelis Melyn and 267. Janneken Adriaens.

From the book "Baker Ancestry" by Frank Baker:

"Cornelia Melyn, daughter of Cornelis Melyn, was, in her day, the belle of New Amsterdam,

and was sought for by the principal aspirants to the felicities of matrimony. Her father, unlike

most of those who emigrated to this colony in early times, was a man of considerable wealth

on his arrival here in 1639. After examining into the prospects and resources and conditions of

the country, he returned to the fatherland, where he procured a patent for a large portion of

Staten Island, and having decided upon establishing his residence here, he brought his family

in the year 1641 and at once commenced..."

Notes for Jacob Schellinger:

Jacobus Schellinger -

Old East Hampton was almost purely an English settlement, but for three Holland Dutch names, Schellinger (spelled "Schellinx," "Scallenger,", etc.--thirty different versions have been found in old deeds,)--, Loper and Van Scoy. Also one "Renicke the Dutchman" later called Reinick Garrison--was here 1666 and was granted land 1673; but his name disappeared soon after that.

Jacobus Schellinger born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1625 or 1626, son of Landmesser Daniel Schellinks, of a merchant family of wealth and position. Daniel was a well-known painter, etcher and poet of his day. Jacob came to Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) about 1652 as agent for his uncle, an Amsterdam merchant. In 1653 he married Cornelia Melyn, daughter of Cornelis Melyn, Patroon of Staten Island and at one time President of the Council in Nieuw Amsterdam, and widow of Capt. Jacobus Loper. Their marriage (that is, marriage of Jacob Schellinger and Cornelia Melyn) was recorded at the Old Dutch Church on 7 Apr 1653.

Cornelia was born in Holland in 1628/1629, died in East Hampton 25 Feb 1716/1717. Children: (the first four born in Nieuw Amsterdam, the last two born in East Hampton); William, (RIN 1910), baptized 8 Mar 1654; Catherine, (or Catalyntje), (RIN 191)1, born 9 Apr 1656 (she married Nathaniel Baker, (RIN 1916), son of Thomas Baker); Abraham, (RIN 1912), baptized 20 Sep 1662 (according to Mrs. Barker's records; Judge Hedges gave his birthdate as 11 Feb 1659); Daniel, (RIN 1913), born 1661, baptized 19 Jul 1665; Jacob, (RIN 1915), born perhaps 1666, died 28 Jan 1713/1714; Cornelius, (RIN 1914), born about 1668, died 1742/1743.

Jacobus and Cornelia Schellinger continued to live in Nieuw Amsterdam or on Staten Island for twelve or thirteen years after their marriage. In March, 1653, he was assessed 200 guilders when the Dutch were preparing defenses against the British; the money was used to construct earth-works topped by a palisade along the northerly side of what is now Wall Street, from the East River to the site of Trinity Church. It may be from this line of defense that Wall Street took its name. In 1655 the Schellingers were living on Staten Island when there were Indian troubles and their house was burned. Conquest of the New Netherlands by the British in 1664 put an end to trade between Holland and this colony. Jacobus Schellinger, with his wife and children and step-son James Loper, (RIN 2817), moved to East Hampton to retrieve his fortunes in the "Whale designe". He arrived here (East Hampton) probably 1664, and certainly before 2 Oct 1667, for he is mentioned in a deed of the latter date. His house lot was the original home lot of Andrew Miller. Through his granddaughter Rachel, who married David Gardiner of Gardiner's Island on 15 Apr 1712/1713, the property went into the Gardiner family and remained there until it was sold, a few years ago (that is, a few years before 1953), to Lawrence Baker.

Jacob Schellinger's "whale designe" prospered. Quoting from "Whale Off!" by Everett J. Edwards and Jeannette Edwards Rattray: "The Dutch led the world in whaling in 1625; it was not until after 1750 that their supremacy began to wane and England took the upper hand. Young Loper (James) and his stepfather--the only two Dutchmen then in the English colony of East Hampton--took to the whaling industry then flourishing there, like ducks to water. They formed a whaling company, employing Indians, and early Town records are full of their activities. Their fame spread----".

James Loper was invited in 1672 to settle in Nantucket and teach the Nantucketers how to whale; he was offered ten acres of land and a third of every catch he accomplished. He went, but did not stay long. His descendants still live in this township (the East Hampton, Long Island, area.)

Jacobus Schellinger & Co. were given a permit to kill whales off East Hampton 18 Nov 1675; they had already been employing Indian crews for eight or nine years.

After the death of Jacobus Schellinger on 17 Jun 1693, letters were written to his widow in East Hampton regarding the settlement of the estate of his brother Daniel. Cornelia long out-lived her husband, dying at East Hampton on 25 Feb 1716/1717.

The Abraham Schellinger, (RIN 1912), bible record gives the date of her death as 5 Feb 1716/1717. Various statements are given as to her age, but since it is now known that she was baptized 27 Feb 1628, new style, it is certain that she was in her 90th year at her death.

The joint will of Daniel Schellinks and Constantia van Rijssen, (RIN 1909), his wife, of Amsterdam, Holland, dated 17 May 1698, is in the New York State Library, also copies of three letters written 1704, '05, and '06 by an Amsterdam notary to Cornelia Melyn Loper Schellinger. Under this will, Jacobus' children were to have one-sixth of the residuary estate. Jacobus had three brothers, William, (RIN 1905), born about 1626/1627 - died 1678, who was a well known landscape painter, etcher and poet; Laurens, (RIN 1906), a surgeon in Amsterdam; and Daniel, (RIN 1913), born 1634 - died 1701, who was a silk merchant and also a very good painter, according to European critics. Before World War II Willem Schellinks' works were in many European galleries. His Italian Landscape hangs in the John G. Johnson Collection in Philadelphia.

Amagansett village was first settled by four East Hampton families in this order (according to Mrs. Gene Fitch Barnes): Baker, Schellinger, Conklin, and Barnes. Abraham Schellinger bought land east of the village of East Hampton, 1683, in a locality called by East Hampton people "ye eastern plaine," and by the Indians "Amagansett"; he and his brother Jacob and sister Catherine (who married Nathaniel Baker), were settled in Amagansett by 1690 and died there. Abraham's name is still remembered in "Abram's Landing" on Gardiner's Bay; and in "Abram's Path" a woods road in that vicinity. He was master of a sloop, the "Endeavour" carrying cattle, horses, sheep, and whale oil to Boston to be bartered for lumber and products of the West Indies.

Schellingers now (1950's) living in Amagansett and The Springs are descendants of Jacob, second generation. George V. Schellinger, 7th generation, owns the house built 1690 upon the original home lot of Jacob (1666-1713). It was moved back from the street in 1763 when the present house was built and is used as a workshop. It was probably the first permanent house in Amagansett.

In preparing these genealogical notes the writer has depended largely upon material furnished by Mrs. Eliza Schellinger Barker of Mattituck, Long Island, her brother George V. Schellinger of Amagansett, by Jacob Wilmer Schellinger of The Springs, by A. K. Schellinger of Palo Alto, California, and by Dr. Frederick A. Finch.

In Vol. I, East Hampton Town Records, Jacobus Schellinger's given name is spelled sometimes "James". That is doubtless a mistake in copying the badly-written, faded original documents, the preparation of which for printing in the late 19th century was a gigantic task.

The Flemish ending "incx" points to an origin in the Southern Netherlands.

Willem and Daniel Schellinger did not forget their brother Jacob in America. Willem Schellinger in his will dated 5 Oct 1676, left to his brother Jacob "In Nieuw Nederlant Op 'T Lange Ey-lant in Zouthampton" the interest on the sum of 1800 guilders, and Daniel Schellinger and his wife, Constantia Rijsen, (RIN 1909), in a will dated 1698, left one-third of their estate to Jacob Schellinger (then five years dead).

Jacob evidently lived on Staten Island with or near Cornelis Melyn, and was the son-in-law of the latter (who was taken in captivity by the Indians on the occasion of the Staten Island massacre of September, 1655, and later ransomed.) At this time his house and all its contents were burned and laid waste by the Indians.

He was, however, for some time, a resident of East Hampton, where he engaged in numerous real estate transactions. He died there 17 Jun 1693, aged 67, according to a Manuscript "Genealogy of the Schellinger Family," prepared by Isaac Schellinger of Amagansett, and dated 26 Feb 1884, which is now at East Hampton.

It will have been seen, that boat whaling was carried on almost from the settlement of the town, and became in time a profitable occupation. The natives were engaged by the white people, and the following is one of the numerous contracts entered into for that purpose.

"Easthampton, Aprill 2d, 1668. Know all men by these presents, yt wee whose names are signed hereunto, being Indians of Montauket, do engage ourselves in a bond of ten pounds sterling for to goe to sea uppon ye account of killing of whales, this next ensuing season, beginning at the 1st day of November next, ending by ye first of Aprill ensuing; and that for ye proper account of Jacobus Skallenger and his partners of Easthampton, and engage to attend diligently with all opportunitie for ye killing of whales or other fish, for ye sum of three shillings a day for every Indian; ye sayd Jacobus Skallenger and partners to furnish all necessarie craft and tackling convenient for ye designe."

In 1700 the town (Northwest) built a wharf there and a new highway. Abraham Schellinger, who owned the sloop "Endeavor," built himself a pier about that time.

The now vanished village of Northwest was really not a proper village, but a series of widely scattered farmhouses built within convenient carting distance of the wharves there. It was begun early. Samuel Mulford, the legislator-whaleman, Abraham Schellinger, and others, traded with Boston, Rhode Island and the West Indies by means of ships which sailed from Northwest.

East Hampton's early prosperity was founded on whale-oil and whalebone. First settlers in Southampton and East Hampton found whales stranded on the ocean beach. A watch was immediately organized for drift whales, which were divided up in the community. Shortly companies were organized to go offshore in pursuit of whales, and the first small boat whaling in American history began here. With "oyle" passing as currency at a high rate, every man, woman, and child was interested in whaling. Even the minister's and schoolmaster's salaries were paid in oil and bone, and in some years school let out in the whaling season (December to April) partly because of the weather and partly because every able-bodied male had to do his share in the whale-catch or trying-out of the oil. The literate did their reading by the light of whale-oil lamps.

The newcomers discovered that friendly Indians skilled in the capture of the "great fish" could be hired for small wages to go out and bring in still more. The Indians went off in crews of six, just as the white men did later on. Their canoes were made from hollowed-out logs. They did not "fasten" to the whale as did the white men. A drag, a log or thick square board was attached to the crude harpoon by a line of Indian hemp, made from the dogbane plant or by a deerskin thong. The Indian canoe was soon superseded, for whaling, by a beautiful cedar boat, light and graceful but capable of staying rightside up while being towed by a maddened whale. Colonial black-smiths forged iron harpoons and lances. Wigwams were erected at intervals along the beach for the whale-watchers who were to make a weft (set a signal on a tall pole) when a whale was sight-ed; then the whaling companies would race to the beach and rally on the shore.

At first, the Indians went off alone. In the year 1668, Jacob Schellinger and his stepson James Loper (East Hampton's only early Dutch settlers) hired an Indian crew at three shillings a day apiece, craft and tackling furnished, to go whaling. In 1675, eleven English settlers, including the minister, Thomas James, had two boats and hired twelve Indians to go to sea for them, prom-ising them one-half the blubber and bone secured. Soon there were so many white "adventurers upon the whale designe" that they used up all the available local Indian talent, and wanted to import some from Shelter Island. Bringing in strange Indians was against the law of the colony, but that law had to be amended to suit the whaling industry. Very soon the white men were going off with their Indian crews.

The tax on whale oil, which was shipped out of Northwest, vexed a succession of royal governors who had a hard time collecting it. The whale had been declared a "Royal Fish" by the Duke's Laws (1665). A percentage of every catch had to go to the government, and all whalemen must be licensed. This incensed East Hampton. There were eight whaling companies in the neighborhood. Samuel Mulford, prosperous East Hampton whaler, who was one of two men sent to the New York General Assembly by Suffolk County, fought for two things: a port of entry close at hand, so that eastern Long Island could trade legally with New England or the mother country without first journeying to New York for clearance; also, freedom from the tax and whaleman's license. Both things finally came to pass. Samuel Mulford defied a succession of royal governors, going over their heads direct to London. His story, as told in "Whale Off! The Story of American Shore Whaling" was made into a radio broadcast.

It was due partly to whaling--which was very good at the time around Cape May, New Jersey --and partly to a desire for larger landholdings, that there was a great exodus from East Hampton between about 1690 and 1710. Many pioneer settlers of New Jersey bore Long Island names, and their descendants have been very helpful with the genealogy for this East Hampton history. Among the old names transplanted to New Jersey are Barnes, - - -, Miller, - - -, Schellenger, - - -, and Vail.

"Lord John" Gardiner, whom Kidd had visited in 1699, employed Indian crews to whale for him on the south shore of Montauk. In 1704 John Shaw of East Hampton was given permission to build a house in Montauk "for the purpose of Whaling."

Early in the 18th century, sloops manned by Indians and commanded by whites began to venture out on two or three weeks' whaling expeditions, cruising close inshore along this coast, bringing the whales in at Sag Harbor for trying-out. In Queen Anne's time the industry was recognized as so important that a New York Colony law was passed that Indians found whaling between November 1 and April 15 must not be arrested or detained or otherwise hindered from whaling. Wages for Indian whalers were prescribed by law. Before the Revolution, whaleships began to be fitted out for voyages from Sag Harbor. Capt. Jonathan Osborn of Wainscott was probably the first native of East Hampton to go on a whaling ship. Capt. Eliphalet Halsey was the first Sag Harbor whaling master to round Cape Horn, returning in 1817 with 1700 barrels of sperm oil. Soon voyages to the Arctic and the South Seas began to reap rich rewards. Stately mansions were built by successful whaling captains or whaleship owners. Sag Harbor's last whaleship, the Myra, cleared in 1871.

Offshore whaling continued at East Hampton and Southampton towns until 1918. Watch was kept on the sand dunes. When a whale was sighted a "weft" was flown, or a fish-horn blown through the village street, and crying "Whale Off!" everyone rushed to the shore. The last large right whale was taken off Amagansett on 22 Feb 1907; a smaller one was captured at Wainscott the same day. The last right whale taken off in the area was in 1918.

Amagansett is mentioned in the East Hampton Town Records by that name as early as 1650. As often as not, today, it is affectionately called "Gansett.' About 1670, three East Hampton men -Thomas Mulford, Jeremiah Conklin and Rev. Thomas James--bought from the Indians a large tract of land at Montauk. This was called the "nine-score purchase" because the three men who bought it were reimbursed when they conveyed it to the Montauk proprietors by an allotment of 180 acres at Amagansett. Descendants of Mulford and Conklin were living in Amagansett before long; Mr. James sold his share to Abraham Schellinger in 1683. In 1672 owners of the land at Amagansett asked the town authorities to lay out a road, which is now Main Street. A year or two earlier, prospective Amagansett settlers had thought to locate on Town Lane; but failed to reach water there. Good drinking water was very important, so the settlers chose a spot within easy distance of the old Indian well, where a spring bubbled up through a hollowed-out pepper-idge tree. The well was in a hollow, where the Bluff Road meets the road to the bathing beach. The regular trail of the Indians going on and off Montauk was along the bluff and then into East Hampton by Further Lane and Skimhampton Road.

The first settlers continued to use the Indian way to Montauk for a hundred years and not their present Main Street, according to Mrs. Gene Fitch Barnes, whose "Colonial Village of Amagansett" was published in 1920. Indian Well Hollow Highway was broken through farm land to join with the hollow and the beach and Further Lane. It was not until 1784 that a lane was opened at Pantigo ("as ye East Plaines are commonly called," according to a 17th century deed) -- through land owned by the Daytons of Spring Close, coming out at the Schellinger property in Amagansett. This is now a section of the Montauk Highway.

The Baker (1680), Schellinger (1690), Conklin (1695) and Barnes (1700) families were first to move three miles eastward from East Hampton to settle Amagansett. They were younger sons who wanted more room to grow in. Before long, members of the Hand, Mulford, Miller, Edwards, Leek, Loper, Stratton and Bennett families had joined them, and later the Kings and the Lesters. In 1700, Amagansett was called a "thriving village." By 1810 there were thirty houses and a schoolhouse; in 1843 there were fifty houses. Amagansett's official population, 1950 census, was 974. From its first settlement until fifty years ago or so, Amagansett lived almost entirely upon fishing, farming and whaling. Of recent years it has become, like its neighbors, a popular summer resort, although still quiet and unspoiled.

Isaac Hedges, (RIN 1965), (younger son of William Hedges, (RIN 1962)), born 1637, died 1676. On 7 March 1676 letters of administration of his estate were granted. His young children were mentioned but not named. He married, in 1660, Joanna Barnes, RIN (1970), daughter of Joshua Barnes, (RIN 1981), of Southampton; who later removed to Westchester County, New York. She died 6 Jun 1706. Of their children, Judge Hedges mentions only a son, Isaac Hedges, (RIN 0330), born in 1664; but their daughter Joanna Hedges, (RIN 1917), married in the late 1600's Abraham Schellinger. Isaac Hedges was one of the men appointed to keep the dry herd at Montauk, 1662; in 1664 he was engaged as Town Drummer at 40 shillings per annum.

Of the early settlers of East Hampton, only three families who remained here permanently were not English. These were from Holland, and one was the Loper Family. The first Loper in America was Capt. Jacob (Jacobus) Loper, (RIN 2030), who came from Holland, served at Curacao in the West Indies with Peter Stuyvesant as Captain-Lieutenant, and in 1646 was a member of the Council of Nieuw Amsterdam (New York). In 1647 he was commander of a Dutch man-of-war, permanently stationed in the harbor there; and in June of that year he was married to Cornelia Melyn, (RIN 1908), daughter of Cornelis Melyn, Patroon of Staten Island and at one time President of the Council in Nieuw Amsterdam. Cornelis Melyn, a man of wealth, had a fine residence at the corner of Pearl and Broad Streets in Nieuw Amsterdam.

Capt. Jacob Loper died in 1652, leaving two young children, Janneken, (RIN 2816), and James, (RIN 2817). The next year his widow married Jacob Schellinger, a prosperous merchant, but in 1664, when the English conquered the New Netherlands, Schellinger with his wife and stepson removed to East Hampton, where young James Loper engaged with Jacob Schellinger in off- shore whaling, and became an expert at it. Two Nantucket whaleships bore the name Loper and they began shore-whaling operations at about that time; but in 1674 he was back in East Hampton and married Elizabeth Howell, daughter of Arthur Howell and granddaughter of the first Lion Gardiner of Gardiner's Island. It was the sixteen-year-old mother of Elizabeth Howell, Elizabeth, second daughter of Lion Gardiner, who, dying in 1657 a few days after the birth of her child, was said to have been done to death by the alleged witch, Goody Garlicke.

Stanley Williamson of Cape May, New Jersey, who has done considerable research on the early whalemen who left East Hampton for New Jersey, including his own ancestor Humphrey Hughes, says that Cornelius Skellinks purchased a tract of 134 acres along the bay shore at Cape May before 1690 from the West Jersey Society, and left descendants there. Between 1780 and 1850 Aaron Schellinger was prominent and gave his name to "Schellinger's Landing" over Cape Island Creek, the only road and bridge leading out of Cape May or Cape Island. Others are Capt. James K. Polk Schellinger and Clarence Schellinger, still living (1952) and an elder in the Presbyterian Church. The town Clerk of Cape May (1952) is Stanley Schellinger.

One of the Amagansett Schellinger family papers is a deed of gift for Plum Island and Gull Island, dated 1718, from Abraham Schellinger Jr. to Isaac Schellinx.

From "Autobiography of W.S. Tyler, DD, LLD", page 317:

MARIA MELYN, daughter of Cornelis and Jannetje (Adryaens) Melyn, born probably at Amsterdam, where she married

first June 18, 1655, Clars Allertzen Paradys, by whom she had one child. Paradys died and she probably moved to New Haven

Hetfield, etc.), of New Haven, where he "took the oath of fidellitie" May 1, 1660. In 1664 they migrated to the newly settled

plantation on the Arthur Cull sound, called Elizabeth Town in New Jersey, where his name "Matthias Heathfield" with sixty-two

others is subscribed to the "Oath of A Leagance & Fidelety" taken February 19, 1665. In a deed acknowledged before Philip

Carteret October 25, 1677, his wife signs her name MARIA HEATFELT, although her husband's name is spelled Matthias

Heathfield. ...(See Hatfield Geneaology (MSS.) by Edwin F. Hatfield, D.D., in the N. Y. Hist. Soc. Library.)

The N. Y. Dutch Church record of baptisms published by the N. Y. Gen. Biog. Soc. shows:

268. William Hedges, died 1674. He married 269. Rose.

269. Rose.

Notes for William Hedges:

From "History of East Hampton..." by Jeanette Edwards Rattray, page 369:

The first Hedges in East Hampton is thought to have come from Maidstone in Kent, England. The name still appears regularly in the Kent Messenger, newspaper published in Maidstone; and the name is still well represented here. Kentish records going back for centuries spell the name variously, Hedges, Hedge, Hodge or Hodges.

Judge Henry P. Hedges, 19th century east Hampton historian, considered William Hodges, who settled Taunton, Mass, in 1643 the same man who arrived in East Hampton by 1650 by way of Southampton and who name was spelled Hedges here.

From "The Early History of Southampton" by George Rogers Howell, second edition, Albany, Weed, Parsons and Company, 1887, page 287:

The ancestor of the Hedges families in Southampton and East Hampton was William Hedges, and when we have said this we have said all that is known of him, except that like his neighbors he was an Englishman and a Puritan. ... He came at first to Southampton, where he resided for a short period, and when in 1649 the colony to settle another town to the eastward was projected, he was one of the first to join it. He is on the list of inhabitants of Southampton in 1644. This is the earliest record known of his appearance in America at the date of this writing in 1886.

Children of William Hedges and Rose are:

270. Joshua Barnes, born Abt. 1615 in England; died Aft. 1695 in Easthampton, Suffolk Co, New York. He was the son of 540. William Barnes and 541. Thomasina Shepard. He married 271. Prudence.

271. Prudence.

Notes for Joshua Barnes:

From "The Early History of Southampton..." by George Rogers Howell, second edition, Albany: Weed, Parsons and Company, 1887, page 202:

"Joshua is first mentioned in 1649 when the town pays him money for his boat hire. "

From "The Town of East Hampton" by William S. Pelletreau, pages 3-4, contained in "History of Suffolk County...", New York: W. W. Musell and Co, 1882:

"In the spring of 1648 Theophilus Eaton, governor of the colony of New Haven, and Edward Hopkins, governor of Connecticut, obtained a deed for that portion of the town lying west of Montauk. This deed was given by the sachems of Shelter Island, Montauk, Corchaug and Shinecok. ... which the Inhabitants of Southampton have and do possess, as they by Lawfull right shall make appear; for and in Consideration of twentie coats, twenty-four looking glasses, twenty-four hoes, twenty-four hatchets, twenty-four knives, one hundred muxes, already received by us the forenamef Sachems, for ourselves and assotiates, and in consideration thereof wee doe give up unto the said Purchasers all our right and Interest in the said land..."

..."The first settlers of this town, the men for whom Governors Eaton and Hopkins purchased the territory, were John Hand, Thomas Talmadge, Daniel Howe,..., Joshua Barnes and John Mulford.

Of the above number all were originally settlers in Southampton. ...

...Joshua Barnes, although engaged in the purchase, did not remove with the rest, but lived and died in Southampton. William Barnes, his son, joined the new colony, and from him are descended the families of that name."

Children of Joshua Barnes and Prudence are:

Notes for Ralph Allen:

Excerpts from The Encyclopedia Americana, 1946, Vol 12:

The Religious Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, had its origin in England about the middle of the 17th century. ... George Fox ... is often called its founder. ... His spiritual views ... met a ready response in many pious persons... and bitter opposition from others....Between the years 1661 and 1697, over 13,000 Friends were imprisoned in England, 198 were transported as slaves and 338 died in prison or of wounds received in assaults while attending meetings. These persecutions were upon various pretexts, as, the refusal to pay tithes, to swear or to remove the hat; for preaching in public places; as disturbers of public worship, for speaking in "churches" ...; and as Sabbath breakers, for traveling to their meetings on the day called the Sabbath....

The first to arrive in New England were two women, Ann Austin and Mary Fisher, who came to Massachusetts from Barbados in 1656. After five weeks' imprisonment and much cruel treatment they were sent back. Stringent laws were promptly enacted by that colony to prevent others from coming and owners of vessels from bringing them. Regardless of the cruel penalties of these laws, the Quakers continued to arrive and suffer their infliction. In numerous instances delicate women were "stripped naked from the middle up, tied to a cart's tail and whipped through the town" and thence through other towns. Four --one a woman-- were hanged on the Boston Common. Nevertheless they increased in numbers and spread to adjoining colonies....

The following are excerpts from the book "George Allen of Weymouth, Mass., 1635; of Lynn, Mass, 1636, and of Sandwich, Mass., 1637-48..." by John Zermott Allen of Brookline, Mass., 1924,

Ralph is referred to as Ralph Jr. (son of George] in many references. The term Junior is to distinguish him from the other Ralph Allen in Sandwich (1651-?) who is called Ralph Allen, Senior.

On March 4, 1650-1, Ralph Allen, Jr., was charged by Anthony Wright in the Plymouth Court for detaining a young steer contrary to right. The Court appointed three men to look at the steer's marks. The jury found for neither party.

On March 5, 1655-6, Thomas Dexter, Jr., brought suit against Ralph Allen, Jr., for L10 damages for carting Dexter's wood over his march, mowing his grass and "his cattle lying at his hay", and not keeping up his fence. The court gave a judgment of 12 pence in regard to the fence, and costs of the suit amounting to L1.7.6.

On March 2, 1657, Ralph Allen, Junior and his brother, William Allen, "being summoned, appeared to answare for a tumultuose carriage att a meeting of the Quakers at Sandwich. These, being admonished in that respect, were cleared; notwithstanding, for their unreverent carrying themselves before the Court, coming in before them with their hatts on, were fined twenty shillings a peece."

On March 2, 1657, Ralph Allen, Jr., was fined twenty shillings. The marshall, unable to collect the total of fines amounting to L18, seized four cows, and because Ralph Allen, Jr., refused to remove his hat in court, he seized a "weather sheep" valued at L 2.

For some years the fact that Ralph Allen, Jr., was a Quaker disfranchised him, and until the ban against Quakers was removed his name does not appear in the town records.

While the Sandwich Meeting of Friends was the first to be established in America, it was not until 25th day, 4th month, 1672, that records of the meetings were kept. The record book of the Sandwich Meeting is now in the keeping of the Moses Brown School in Providence.

If one is inclined to the belief that the simple annals of the worth poor are not worth recording, I answer that in many cases (particularly with the Quakers, who took little part in public life.) these unimportant items are all that may now be gathered. I make no apology for presenting the references in the record to Ralph Allen, Jr., and his kinsmen.

Ralph Allen and his brother William were appointed one 24th day, 1 mo., 1673, to see "if Thomas Johnson's wife will put out her children."

At the meeting on 3rd day, 8th mo., 1673, Ralph Allen was detailed to "mend the way at ye Middle River and Mattapoisett."

Evidently this work was delayed, for at the meeting a month later Ralph Allen and Caleb Allen were directed "to mend the way at Muddy river and Mattapoisett during the next (4) days if weather be seasonable." At this meeting Ralph gave a report of the condition of Thomas Johnson's family.

At this meeting a committee was appointed " to speak to John Allen, Ralph Allen's son, about absenting himself from meetings."

Then the committee appointed to speak to Ralph Allen's son John made its report on 6th day, 12th mo., 1673, they said: "John Allen had answered the committee that he was not so considered as they might think he was, and so put them off."

When on 5th day, 4th mo., 1674, it was ordered to enlarge the meeting house, and the meeting ordered Ralph, William and Jedediah Allen to "procure it done."

On the 1st day, 11th no., 1674, Ralph Allen and William [illegible] were directed "to go to ye Governor and inform him of what words passed between the recorded non-townsmen and ye rest of ye town." Toward the expense of this committee to [illegible] Ralph Allen subscribed (2) shillings.

When the condition of Thomas Johnson's family was reported on 2nd day, 7th mo. 1681, Ralph Allen subscribed (10) shillings toward their relief.

On the 6th day, 2nd month, 1683, Ralph Allen and Robert Harper were appointed to care for the Yarmouth Friends who came to Sandwich, and also to procure a cow for a needy family. At the meeting the next month it was reported that the cow had been procured at a cost of (50) shillings. Ralph gave 5 shillings of it.

In a case of discipline, brought before the meeting 3d day, 6th mo., 1683, the record reads: "There being some oration to speak something concerning Matthew Joane; Ralph Allen declared that he heard Matthew Joane say that S--- W--- made a noyse in meeting like a bitch suckling of her whelps."

On the 4th day, 4th mo., 1686, Ralph Allen and others were appointed to help "end a difference" between George Allen and some neighbors.

The last reference to Ralph Allen, Jr., in the Friends' Records is under date of 6th day, 3rd mo, 1687, when he reported a difference between himself and Joseph Holg(?)ay, and he and Joseph were admonished to speak together and "consider of its being ended."

There has been confusion by many writers in placing the children of Ralph Allen, Sr., and of Ralph Allen, Jr., some of the children of the younger Ralph being attributed to the elder. The Leonard Papers probably correctly list the children of Ralph Allen, Jr.

It is now possible to correct this confusion. In the will of Ralph Allen, Jr., [illegible] the land bought of Constant Southworth. He also bought land from Constant Southworth's mother, Alice (Carpenter, Southworth) Bradford. The unrecorded deeds of these two pieces of land refer to Ralph Allen as "wheelwright". This proves that it was Ralph Allen, Sr., who was the "mason."

The deeds are printed in Vol. 18 of the "Mayflower Descendant", pp. 171-2 and 176-7.

The land which Ralph Allen, Jr., conveyed to his son Ebeneezer in 1675 was bought by him from Sarah Warren, the deed referring him as "planter." This was in Dartmouth, and was located as the deed recites at "Barnes his Joy", which name is preserved to this day as Barney's Joy, and upon it Ebeneezer built his homestead. The deed from Sarah Warren to "Ralph Allen of Sandwich, planter" is copied on pp. 80-81 of Vol. 3 of Plymouth Colony records in the Archives Division, Massachusetts State House.

The tract consisted of 70 acres, the one-half share Nathaniel Warren was allotte and adjoined the southerly side of the land Ralph Allen bought of Constant Southworth. The consideration was L 33. The deed was dated April 29, 1672.

A part of the land in Dartmouth belonging to Ralph Allen, Jr., was deed to his son Joseph, the deed being as follows: (Page 119-Vol. 5- Plymouth Colony Records, Archives Division, Mass State House.) "To all persons to whom these presents shall come, I, Ralph Allin, of Sandwich, in the collonie of New Plymouth, wheelwright, sendeth greeting. Know ye that I the said Ralph Allin for and in consideration of the naturall love and affection [illegible] I have the collinie aforesaid, wheelwright, as also for divers other good causes and considerations me heerunto moving: have given graunted alle in enfeoffs and confeirms unto the said Joseph Allin his heires and assigns forever; the one-third prts of a share or deale of land, lying and being in the Township of Dartmouth aforesaid, both meadow and upland, divided and undevided; which said land is prte of a whole share or deale of land, that I bought of Constant Southworth of Duxburrow in the Collonie sofresaid and the house Lot belonging to the whole share is to be esteemed A prte or prsell thereof; To have to to Hold; The said third prte of the said Share of Land together with all and singulare the commodities Liberties and privileges thereto belonging or any waies appertaining, To him the said Joseph Allin his heires and Assigned, To his and their owne proper use and behoofe for ever; and I the said Ralph Allen; the said third prte of the said share or deale of Land b these presents graunted unto him the said Joseph Allin his heires; and Assigns, against me my heires and Assignes, or any prson claiming from by or under me, will warrant and forever defend by the prsents. In witness whereof I have heerunto sett my hand and seale the eighteenth day of the first month in the yeer one thousand six hundred and seaventy and eight.

Ralph Allin and a (Seale)

Acknowledged before Thomas Hinckley, Oct. 6, 1679.

By a similar deed Ralph Allin, wheelwright, gave to his two beloved grandsons, Joseph Allin and John Allin, a one-third part of the same share of land.

Soon after Ralph Allen purchased land in Dartmouth, he became one of four of the purchasers to enter into an agreement for the construction of a mill. The fact is brought out in a case which came before the Massachusetts Superior Court at a later date. It is shown that in Case 2300, Index Calendar Vol. XI, Early Court Records in Suffolk County Court House. I quote:

"At a meeting held at the house of Widow Sisson Feb. 4, 1684/5 at Dartmouth, of lawful purchasers, as to the agreement between Ralph Allen, John Russell, Samuel Hix and Arthur Hathaway in behalf and by order of the lawful purchasers of the lands of Dartmouth and George Badcocke and Henry Tucker to build a mill in said township according to an instrument dated June 20, 1664, confirmed by the purchaswrs and ordered recorded in the purchasers book on Feb. 5, 1684/5."

The will of Ralph Allen was drawn in 1691, and he describes himself as "aged and weak". I assume he was one of the older of george Allen's children and that he was born about or earlier than 1600. In that will he requests burial in the Quaker burying ground at his brother William's house. For 33 years he had been a Quaker. It was in 1694 Rev. Roland Cotton was ordained minister at Sandwich, and eleven men who had been Quakers (including Ralph and George[ not George, Jr., whose estate had been settled the year previously] ) accepted the covenant which had but lately been put forth by the Synod in Boston. What prompted these men to rejoin the church in which they had never been comfortable we cannot now understand. So many of their Quaker relatives and neighbors had removed to Dartmouth, Rhode Island and New Jersey, that they may have felt isolated in their old age.

The General Court at Plymouth on July 6, 1669, granted liberty to Ralph Allen to keep a ferry at or near Pocassett for transporting passengers to and from Island to the mainland. He was also given liberty to buy one hundred acres of land from the Indians on condition that he pay the sum of ten pounds to the Colony. The land was to be purchased for him by Constant Southworth, who was to act with Ralph Allen.

On June 5, 1671, and again in 1680, Ralph Allen was appointed by the Court at Plymouth to be surveyor of the highways at Sandwich. On July 4, 1673, Ralph complained to the Plymouth court against Sarah Davis, administratrix of the estate of her late husband, Nicholas Davis, of Rhode Island, for damages in L 10 for non-payment of L9 -0s -5d. The suit was withdrawn.

The rights of citizenship which had been taken away from Ralph Allen in 1658 because he was a Quaker had been restored, or he could not have held a town office. The fact that Mr. Allen had been restored to citizenship is, however, proven by a list of persons who in 1675 were entitled to privileges of Sandwich.

On February 3, 1676, "Ralph Allen and Stephen Skiff carry the town's mind to Barnstable to confer with them about bring the out towns with us." (Sandwich Town Records.) This refers to Indian defense.

?. S. Allen assumes that Ralph Allen, Jr., at some time lived in Dartmouth, because on a deed given (illegible) Allen in 1684 to George Badcock and Henry Tucker, concerning a grist mill.

Before Ralph Allen, Jr., died, he divided large part of his land in Dartmouth among his children by deed, his son Ebeneezer securing the land at Barnes his Joy, on 4th month, tentn, 1675. On the same day he gave by deeds to his sons Zachariah and Increase the half-share he bought of Mrs. Bradford. On 18th of 1st month, 1680, Ralph conveyed for love and affection to his grandsons Joseph and John Allen sons of his son

Joseph, one-third of a whole share in Dartmouth he bought of Constant Southworth. The remainder of the share he gave to his daughter Patience and to his grandson Joseph. (See his will.)

At no place do I find the name of Ralph Allen's wife given. By analysis, however, I arrive at the conclusion that it was Susannah. In 1682, the Sandwich Monthly Meeting withdraw fellowship from Israel Gaunt. The declaration was signed by the Friends in the meeting. Among the signers were:

William Allen and Priscilla Allen, who we know was his wife;

Jedediah Allen and Elizabeth Allen, his wife;

George Allen and Sarah Allen, his second wife;

Francis Allen and Mary Allen, his wife;

Ralph Allen and a Susannah Allen, who I believe was his wife.

Children of Ralph Allen, as given in "Leonard Papers" in the New Bedford Public Library:

1. John

2. Joseph

3. Increase

4. Ebeneezer

5. Patience died Dec. 4, 1711. Married June 10, 1680, to Richard Evans. He died Sept. 9, 1727.

640. George Allen, born Abt. 1580 in England; died May 1648 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co, Massachusetts.

Notes for George Allen:

According to "The Allen Family" by Arthur Reierson, Higginson Book Co, 1998, George Allen was born about 1568. He is listed as a passenger in a company of about 100 people under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull. This company sailed from Weymouth, England, March 20, 1635 in the ship "Speedwell". The book by Reierson states that the list includes George Allen aged 54(?), Katherine Allen, his wife, aged 30, George Allen, his son, aged 16, William Allen, son aged 8 and Mathew Allen, aged 6 years. This would make 1581 approximately the birthdate of George. However, his date of marriage to Katherine Starkes is listed as 1589 in the book by Reierson, which is inconsistent with a birthdate of 1581. Another reference has the marriage date of George and Katherine Stark as November 4, 1624 in London, England. The book by Charles Edward Banks "The Planters of the Commonwealth:1620-1640 Passengers and Ships" lists the passenger George Allen as 24[?] I assume from the various ages given for George Allen that the age for the passenger George Allen in 1635 is illegible in the original manuscript. George was born during the rein of Queen Elizabeth, a time when Puritans found it difficult to practice their religion. When he came to Boston Harbor May 6, 1635, he remained until July. Then he and his family went to Weymouth (called Wessaguscus until September 2, 1635), MA. In 1636 they moved to Lynn [called Saugus] MA and then joined with others in the purchase of Sandwich, Mass and settled there in 1637. George was a Baptist and member of the First Church of Sandwich in 1638. When Sandwich was incorporated in 1639 George was elected constable, being charged with enforcement of all laws. He was also Deputy of the General Court, and was also appointed one of the surveyors of highways. Six or seven of his children became Quakers. George died in Sandwich and was buried there on May 2, 1648.
