| 101 | His son's birth registration entry notes that his father lived on Meeting Street in Dromore, and that he was a carpenter. | Catherwood, James (I93)
|
| 102 | History of James Morgan shows birth as 2 July 1685, but Barbour should be relied on. | Morgan, Margaret (Margery) (I830)
|
| 103 | In 1857, the Khans moved from Khyber to Farukabad due to the British influence (they had come to Farukabad to fight the Indians). | Khan, Zaman (I1606)
|
| 104 | In a letter dated February 27 1962 from his sister Esther to another sister Lucinda, Esther writes: "I was so glad to get your letter and am answering it right away because I am planning to write a long letter to each one of the family regarding Ray's account and other things which have beentaking place. I think of Ray so many times and it makes me sad to think of the way he suffered, but God knows best. It's hard to think that way but we wouldn't want him back if he couldn't be well. I'm sure Lou that Ray loved each one of us and the reason he couldn't mention his family was on account of being the County Hospital and the Salvation Arm was helping him (he was only workingpart time). It was so difficult for him to talk even before he had surgery." | Catherwood, Reinford Salter (I142)
|
| 105 | In comparison with other research, Margaret may be Thomas' granddaughter rather than daughter (ergo, a missing generation between them). | Bliss, Margaret (I942)
|
| 106 | Jabez was a soldier in the French and Indian War and, in fact, appears to have died in battle. According to War 1675-1775 Colonial, Volume 1, a Jabez Bradley was in private service in 1757 (original Vol VII, entry 21a). I was given permission to examine the original document that contained the reference to Jabez in private service, titled Vol 7 French War. It appears to be a log of fiscal and supply activity at Fort William Henry around 1757. From the page where Jabez is mentioned is: (Page Heading) In Colony of Connecticut to Capt. (??) and the company under his command and Lt. Joseph Pitkins Regiment for their service at the time of the alarm for relief of Fort William Henry and parts adjacent August, Anno 1757 (...) John Abbot, Abnea West, Thather Lothrop,...,Samuel Huntington, Jabez Bradley,...31 Privates in Service 14 days each @ 34 pr. mo. each makes 24.16 This section obviously is a record of payments made. The Archives probate index lists Jabez Bradley of Tolland, dated 1758, Hartford District. I examined the microfilm pertaining to that entry, and found the following: An inventory of the estate of Jabez Bradley. It reads, in part: Hartford County Tolland October 10th 1758. We the subscribers hereunto, being desired to apprise the estate of Jabez Bradley late of Tolland dec. and being under oath have apprised the same as hereafter particularly we have entered the same. L S D One Handkerchief 0 4 0 a pair of boots 0 8 0 Beds, bedsteads and covering 6 11 0 Pots, kettles, and ironware 1 0 0 Yoak and iron plows and chains 3 13 6 Iron shod wheels and cart 4 10 0 A looking glass and 49 bushels of wheat 9 8 6 Meat cattle 19 3 0 Sheep and Hay 18 10 0 a Yoke of oxen 12 5 0 1014 pounds of pork 7 7 10 one farm of Land 84 0 0 the old farm of Land 350 0 0 At the bottom of the document are the signatures of three men, the "apprisors". Assumedly, the above valuations are in Pounds, Shillings, and (Pence?). The total valuation appears to be around 530 Pounds. This inventory appears on one 9 by 12 inch sheet. On a separate microfilm page, but what may be the reverse side of the inventory, is a note that Hannah and Jabez (Jr) Bradley apparently filed the inventory with the court. There was also a document dated 5 January 1759 that appears to be a performance bond for the executors of Jabez's estate, Hannah and Josiah Bradley. Essentially, they paid 300 pounds bond to the Judge as surety for the execution of the estate, with a final accounting due the court by the 5th of January 1760. The document is signed by the marks of Hannah Bradley, Josiah Bradley, and Henry Bradley. The document is a pre-printed form, with names and dates handwritten. According to "Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War", Volume II (Collections of the CT Historical Society Vol X), Jabez either "Dyed, Deserted, or Captivated" on 14 September,1758. Since he never returned home, it is probably safe to say that he did not desert. Therefore, I believe it is proper to assume that he died on that day, or very soon afterward. He is listed as having been in the 12th Company under Captain Chapman. | Bradley, Jabez (I681)
|
| 107 | James, John, and Miles were three Morgan brothers who arrived in America together; that much is fairly well-accepted. However, there is very little evidence that their father was WilliamMorgan, and even less that their mother was Elizabeth Morgan, daughter of Sir William Morgan and Elizabeth Winter. Granted, there isn't much evidence against the connection, but virtually noprimary evidence supporting it, either. | Morgan, James (I2039)
|
| 108 | John bought land from his brother Samuel in Colchester, Connecticut in 1746, and apparently moved there straight away. His home appears to have been located in a neighborhood known as Bull Hill, close to what is now known as East Hampton. John acquired additional lands in Colchester, Middletown, and Chatham. The home stood at a corner of the now abandoned road that led from New London to New Haven and Hartford, and he kept a tavern and general store there. Up to the day of his death, John kept himself busy about his barn. On the final day, feeling a bit ill, he returned to the house and asked for a warm drink. Before it could be prepared,he had expired in his chair. On his stone is engraved "Sacred to the memory of Mr. John Isham who died March 2nd A.D. 1802 in YE 81st. year of his Age Make Jesus Christ your Friend". | Isham, John (I851)
|
| 109 | John was a landowner and one of the thirty nine original settlers of Norwich, Connecticut. He was the first County Clerk and Schoolmaster there. He is also said to have owned property inLebanon, Franklin, and Bean Hill, Connecticut. By the many documents he signed while Clerk, he fixed the present spelling of the family name. (See Burpee's Story of Connecticut). He was a Deputy to the General Court of Connecticut from Norwich in October, 1691. His autograph can be found in Caulkin's History of Norwich. He was one of the four original proprietors the five miles tract purchased from Owaneco the Indian in 1692, and moved there about 1698. Can anyone imagine the pain and anguish John and his wife must have endured? Out of thirteen children, six died under the age of five, including the first five children the couple bore. | Birchard, John (I87)
|
| 110 | killed in the French and Indian War | Grant, Noah Captain (I1571)

| 111 | King John divorced her on the grounds of consanguinity; her grandfather Robert being an illegitimate son of Henry I. | FitzRobert, Isabel (I4676)
|
| 112 | Known more frequently as CW Post, Charles started the Postum Cereal Company, later to become the Post Cereal Company and even later, General Foods. | Post, Charles William (I1002)
|
| 113 | Like his father, he was a deacon of the church, holding office for forty-two years. | Adgate, Thomas (I294)
|
| 114 | lung cancer | Post, Martha June (I535)
|
| 115 | Mary and her sister Rebecca were among those accused at the Salem Witchcraft Trials and put to death by hanging on Gallows Hill. From her prison cell, she wrote: "...seeing we are unable to plead our own cause, nor is counsel allowed to those in our condition...you who are our judges...please be of counsel to us...direct us where in we may stand in need. We are not conscious to ourselves of any guilt in the least degree of that crime whereof we are now accused...nor of any other scandalous evil, or miscarriage inconsistent with Christianity." | Towne, Mary (I836)
|
| 116 | May have arrived with her husband James Salter on the Friesland, but Census entry does not make that clear. | Marsden, Esther (I97)
|
| 117 | Members of the household: Name Age Andrew Catherwood 30 Martha Catherwood 28 Amy Catherwood 6 Esther Catherwood 4 Andrew G Catherwood 1 The address appears to be 18 Anson St, Barrow in Furness (Hindpool). | Family F29
|
| 118 | Moved to Windham, CT in 1700 from Beverly and Wenham, MA. Roberts, in Genealogies of Connecticut Families, says: "It is said that many curious incidents occurred in the life of this man,making it quite romantic. He was a person of great activity and energy." | Hibbard, Robert II (I1848)
|
| 119 | No documentation has yet been found establishing her maiden name as McGillis, though that is Post family history. There are several census which put her as the wife of Jabez, in Ohio, with a birth year approximating 1812. The 1880 US Census (Geauga, Ohio) shows her father's birthplace as Canada and mother's birthplace as Massachusetts. She is listed as a widow and homemaker. | Mcgillis, Mary Ann (I25)
|
| 120 | No source material found supporting a death date of 16 July 1961 | Catherwood, Amy (Caroline) (I137)
|
| 121 | No source material found supporting death date of 10 Aug 1963 | Catherwood, Esther Agnes (I138)
|
| 122 | No vital records have been found substantiating her birth or parents, though records of her marriage and death exist. | Lander, Orsa Jane (I27)
|
| 123 | Notes that she was not able to read or write, and that her parents were both born in England. | Marsden, Esther (I97)
|
| 124 | Numerous sources (census, death certificate) put his birth year as 1867. | Krueger, George R. (I789)
|
| 125 | Occupation listed as "smith", and sovereignty as Germany. Note that the date of immigration on this citation differs nearly 10 years from later Census entries. | Krueger, Rudolph August (I790)
|
| 126 | Occupation: Lab iron works. | Family F88
|
| 127 | Oddly, his Florida driver license issued in 1976 shows his date of birth as May 2 1902, rather than 1905. His court-recognized Registration of Birth dated December 8 1941 states clearly his date of birth as May 2, 1905, and this is the date found in all family records. In a "man on the street" piece in a New Smyrna Beach FL newspaper, the topic was "Should we resume diplomatic relations with Cuba?", Charles is quoted as replying "Yes. If we did so then Cuba would cuddle right up to us and would never be a threat. In fact, Cuba should have become a State long before Hawaii way out there. It has good tobacco and sugar for us, among other things." The quote was accompanied by a photograph of Charles, cigar in mouth. | Post, Charles Walter (I30)
|
| 128 | On her marriage license she is shown as residing in the Village of Best Station, PA. | Blose, Emma T. (I8957)
|
| 129 | Other earlier sources show this to be Margaret Lawrence; more recent sources believe that Bliss' wife was Hulins. | Hulins, Margaret (I284)
|
| 130 | Other sources list her as born 1684, such as: Charles and Hugh Brogan Mosley, editor, American Presidential Families (London, U.K.: Alan Sutton and Morris Genealogical Books, 1994), page 471. | Hatch, Amy (I654)
|
| 131 | Other sources, such as her funeral card, showed a birth year of 1903 | Basinais, Armeline Florence (I148)
|
| 132 | Other spellings of the surname that may be found include Caulkins and Calkin. A part of the Welsh Company, he immigrated with his minister Rev. Blinman. Settling first at Marshfield, the moved to Gloucester. After eight years they removed to New London. In 1650 he was a deputy from Gloucester to the General Court of Massachusetts. While at New London, he was chosen twelve times as deputy to the Connecticut Assembly, and was a New London selectman for some time. At Norwich, he was a deputy at ten sessions of the Legislature from 1663 to 1671. He was one of the first deacons of the Norwich church. At all three towns, he was primarily employed in public business, serving on various committees. | Calkins, Deacon Hugh (I466)

|
| 141 | Richard came to America on the famous "Mayflower" voyage. He was not one of the Puritans fleeing religious persecution for Leyden Holland, but rather was one of the "strangers" picked up inLondon by the ship (the "strangers", over 30 men and families, comprised more than half the Mayflower passengers). The Mayflower, having departed Plymouth England 6 September 1620, landed inAmerica later that year. Richard's wife and five daughters came later aboard the "Anne" in 1623. He was not one of the Leyden, Holland Pilgrims, but instead had been a merchant at Greenwich,county of Kent, England (Directory of Ancestral Heads). He joined the Pilgrims in Southampton and, upon their landing at Plymouth, was one of ten men chosen to be in the exploring party, and was one of those surprised by the Indians in "TheFirst Encounter". Though Warren appears to have been all but excluded from some Pilgrim histories such as Bradford's, it appears he was among the more important and accomplished of thePilgrims. Richard was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact, the first establishment of civil government in America. He was given the prefix "Mr.", or Master, by Governor WilliamBradford, which indicates one of high birth or achievement. He may have had a period of illness before his death in 1628. Even so, he appears as a leader of one of twelve groups formed to own cattle in 1627. In that same year, he is listed asone of the 58 sole proprietors of land in Plymouth Colony. His wife, Elizabeth, outlived him by 45 years. She never remarried, but was allowed to succeed to her husband's rights as "Purchaser". She was honored with the title "Mrs.", as mostwomen were called "Goodwife". (Mayflower Families, 1981: Mass. Society of Mayflower Descendants) There are numerous sources of information about Richard and the three generations following. Only some of them are cited here; there may be several other corraborating sources. | Warren, Richard (I647)

| 142 | Roswell's will, written earlier in the year of his death, is partially reproduced and summarized here: (Roswell leaves his entire estate to his wife, Sarah, for so long as she lives. Subsequent to his wife's death, the remains shall be equally divided between his children William, Ogden, Harriet, and Cornelia, subject to "the restrictions and limitations concerning my son William".) "whereas my son William Bradley has hereafter been the subject of habits of Intemperance which have rendered him at times incapable of managing his own business or providing for himself, buthas recently pledged himself to abstain therefrom and hath thus far duly fulfilled his pledge. I therefore in view of his past and present conduct and with a desire to promote his futurecomfort advantage and support, do further will direct and declare as gratification restrictions and limitations on the Second article above mentioned, that if he shall adhere to his present determination to abandon wholly his habits of Intemperance and shall at the time of the decease of my said Wife, so far wholly have conquered the Same, that in the opinion of my ... Executor it would be safe for him the Said William for his own good to take charge and management of business and his own future, then and in that case the said William shall come into possession of his portion of my Estate above devised and given equally with the other devisees. ... But in case the said William shall return to his former habit of Intemperance...I further will order and direct that my son George Bradley, who is hereinafter appointed my Executor, take possession and control of the share of my Estate so designed for my son William ... and hold the same as trustee for the benefit of the said William." (The will continues to give specific instructions on taking care of poor William should he return to his Intemperance.) | Bradley, Doctor (medical) Roswell (I697)

| 143 | Rudolph served in the U.S. Civil War. He enlisted for three years at Otto, NY in the 64th N.Y.V.I. (also known as the Cattaraugus Regiment), Company C, on September 16, 1861 at age 19. He re-enlisted on January 19, 1864. Among the battles in which the 64th served were: Yorktown; Fair Oaks; Gaines' Mills; Antietam; Fredericksburg; Chancellorsville; Gettysburg; Spottsylvania; and Petersburg (according to the NY Adjutant General's Report, 1868). On May 5 1864 he was wounded at the Battle of Wilderness, Virginia (Spotsylvania County), part of Grant’s Overland Campaign (for this gunshot wound to the left leg he ultimately received a pension of $2 per month). The principal commanders in the battle of Wilderness were Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and Maj. Gen. George G. Meade for the USA and Gen. Robert E. Lee for the Confederacy. Losses were heavy:5597 Killed, 21463 Wounded, and 10667 Missing or Captured from the USA, and 2000 Killed, 6000 Wounded, and 3400 Missing or Captured from the CSA. There were 162,920 total troops engaged (USA101,895; CSA 61,025). On the morning of May 5, 1864, the Union V Corps attacked Ewell’s Corps on the Orange Turnpike, while A.P. Hill’s corps during the afternoon encountered Getty’s Division (VI Corps) and Hancock’s II Corps on the Plank Road. Fighting was fierce but inconclusive as both sides attempted to maneuver in the dense woods. Darkness halted the fighting, and both sides rushed forwardreinforcements. At dawn on May 6, Hancock attacked along the Plank Road, driving Hill’s Corps back in confusion. Longstreet’s Corps arrived in time to prevent the collapse of the Confederate right flank. At noon, a devastating Confederate flank attack in Hamilton’s Thicket sputtered out when Lt. Gen. James Longstreet was wounded by his own men. The IX Corps (Burnside) moved against the Confederate center, but was repulsed. The battle was a tactical draw. Grant, however, did not retreat as had the other Union generals before him. On May 7, the Federals advanced by the left flank toward the crossroads of Spotsylvania Courthouse. On September 22 1864 he was transferred to Company A, and promoted to Corporal on October 10 of that year. He was further promoted to First Sergeant on January 7 1865, and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant on July 11 1865 (date of rank May 27, 1865). Three days later (July 14) he was mustered out of service at Washington. | Krueger, Rudolph August (I790)
