| 21 | "According to a historical summary of Tobins on an unsourced website, "There were Tobins recorded in New Jersey in the 18th century. Isaac Tobin was born in Hunterdon county in 1750. His father may have been James Tobin from Kilkenny. Isaac fought in the Revolutionary War (after initially deserting) and later moved with his son William to Ohio." I have not yet proven with certainty that the parents of Isaac are James and Esther Tobin/Tobey. Isaac Tobin was a Revolutionary War Soldier. He resided at Hunterdon Co., New Jersey at the time of his enlistment. Records of his bre in the family bible according to Isaac's Pension Application dated 1833. The bible is in an unknown location. He first enlisted for 3 months starting Sept. 1776 under Captain Joshua Corshon's Co., Col. Chamber's Regiment. He was stationed at Woodbridge as a guard to military stores. He enlisted in the fall of 1777 for one year as a drummer, rank of private, in Capt. Thomas Patterson's Co., Col. Dayton's New Jersey Regiment, but after 4 months he took sick with the Bloody Flux and was given permanent leave. This information was from his pension application. According to Ric Tobin, a current researcher of the Tobin line, Isaac served 3 times in the Revolution and may have been at Valley Forge. After the war, he lived in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey; Loudoun (apr.1790-1806) and Culpepper (apr.1806-1824) Counties, Virginia; and Madison Twp., Guernsey Co., Ohio (1830-1836) where he died. There is a possible sister, niece or daughter to him, Peggy, who married John Vaughn on Dec. 17, 1807 in Culpepper Co., VA while he resided there. He seems to have spelled the name Toby or Tobey while living in New Jersey, and Tobin from Virginia on. He is in the Hunterdon Co., New Jersey Tax Ratables lists in 1778 as owning a house, 10 acres and 2 horned cattle. Again in 1780 in the Hunterdon Co. Ratables, he is listed as owning 11 acres, no house and 1 hog. (CL-197) A will has not been able to be located for him at this time. Center Cemetery, where he is buried is probably located in Center Twp., just off Rte. 22, east of Center, not accessible to the road. His marker is no longer standing according to family researchers who have attempted to find his grave sight. Here is a time line of Isaac's life as it appears in public records: Feb. 1776: Nathaniel Tobey made a deputy by the high sheriff, John Baines, in a case before the Inferior Court of Common Please, Trenton, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey involving Isaac Tobey. Isaac was to appear before the court to answer a plea by Joshua Corshon for 298 pounds proclamation money which Isaac owed. (Miscellaneous Records #33454).

Zera was born in C(anadaigua), N.Y. in 1821 and as a young boy moved to) Lake Mich. Maria Amelia Bunnel was born in Canadaigua, N.Y. on 8/20/1825. She died 12/12/1897. She moved to "(Grass) Lake, Mich. They were m. (in) (Grass) Lake Michigan in 18? & moved to Fenton in 1872 where they lived 12 years after which they moved to Detroit in 1884. Three years after Maria's death Zera married Miss Minnie French." (F-320: Info. from Libby Swenson, great, great granddaughter of Jarius and Martha Lincoln Bunnell, and granddaughter of this Edward Cyrus Forte.) Edward C. Forte was married in Fenton, Michigan on Dec. 2, 1974. He was a dry goods merchant for many years before becoming a Vice-President and then President of a Commercial Savings Bank in Fenton. After his retirement, he and his wife would spend their winters in Fenton and their summers in Glendale, California. His wife died in Glendale in 1930. He died Thursday at 2 p.m. June 11, 1942 at age 90. (His obit. says he was 91, but this appears to have been in error. It also gave his marriage date as one year earlier than all other sources) His obituary is copied in F-314d. It is his daughter, Mrs. Corrigan, that gleaned and kept much family history from her father and passed it down to her daughter, Libby Swenson. He and wife had one daughter only. Libby is who I received these xeroxed copies from. In her mother's family pedigree is states that Edward Cyrus died June 10, 1942 instead of June 11, 1942.

| 26 | "Bartlett" comes from an old Norman French surname, "Barttelot" The Bartlet name is first found in England with an Adam Barttelot, Esq., who served under William the Conqueror and died in Co. Sussex in 1100 A.D. He was given lands for hisce in Ferring, Susex where the next 5 generations lived. In the 5th generation, his descendant, John Bartlett bought lands in Stopham, Sussex, England where his descendants still live today. It is not known how our Mary ties into the lineage. (F-531, 633) It is conjecture at this point, who Mary's parents are. A Mormon Ancestral file record gives her birth date as Sept. 11, 1669 of Guilford, New Haven, CT. It also states that she is the daughter of George and Mary Cruttenden Bartlett. However, upon checking the Barbour Collection which is an excellent second hand index made of the vital records for Connecticut, Mary's birth date is not in them. This birth date is likely a misinterpretation of Mary Crittendon Bartlett's burial date which is listed as bd, Sept. 11, 1669. In the Barbour Collection, bd means burial date. However, I still find the most proof supporting the belief that Mary is the daughter of Mary Crittendon and George Bartlet and likely to have been born near her mother's death. First, our Mary was from Kenilsworth/Killingworth at the time of her marriage, a town ten miles Northeast of Guilford Twp., Connecticut where George and Mary had lived. In fact, Kenilsworth/Killingworth abutted Guilford, divided by the Hammosett (River?), which had an original size ten miles in length. (F-503) Another child of George and Mary Bartlett also lived in Killingworth at the time, Daniel Bartlett. The fact that Mary is not in the vital records as the child of Mary and George Bartlet is also not surprising. Another daughter tied to George and Mary in Talcott was not placed in the town records either, i.e. Deborah, until her marriage. (F-499) There is also one more unaccounted for female Bartlett that was only in the vital records at the time of her marriage, that is also highly likely to be the daughter of George and Mary. A Judeth Bartlet married John Boyd on Mar. 28, 1676/7 in Killingworth, CT. (F-502) So what we have is only one Bartlet, Deacon George Bartlet, living in the Guilford/Killingworth area of an age appropriate to be the father of all the other Bartlet's known living in the area. Our Mary, Deborah and a Judeth are listed in the marriage records, but were not recorded in the birth vital records as the daughters of George. Also note that all three of these ladies had their last name spelled the same as George's name was spelled, Bartlet. It is my belief that these daughters had to be daughters of George and Mary Cruttendon Bartlet. Since both these parents died while having young children, it seems likely that recording of their births was simply not made. (F-463) The only other Bartlets in Connecticut at the time that could be parents to these young ladies all lived in Hartford County, CT. Their surnames were consistently spelled Bartlett with 2 tt's, unlike the Bartlet's of the Guilford/Killingworth area. John Bartlett of Windsor Twp, Hartford (m.1641?) (One researcher believes she is descended from a John, perhaps this one??? (F-477); Benjamin and Deborah Bartlett of Winsdor, Hartford (m.1665); Esaya (Isiah) and Abia Bartlett of Windsor Twp., Hartford (m.1663); Josia Bartlett of Windsor, Hartford (m.1664?); Robert and Ann Bartlett of Hartford, Hartford (m.1643?) (F-332); and Edward Bartlett (d. 1676) in Windsor leaving a will, (F-504). I have checked the Barbour collection for a Mary, Deborah or Judeth Bartlet, being born to any of these, and have not found them in the vital records for these families either. (F-502) As far as our Mary goes, it is true that if she was the daughter of George and Mary Bartlet as seems likely from time and place, she was the second living daughter of theirs to be named Mary. This would have been possible, if she had been born near her mother's death. Multiple children were given the same names in a family in the history of England, even when an older sibling was still living. This pattern would still would seem possible in this time period especially if Mary had been named to honor a dying mother. | BARTLET, Mary (I13119)

| 39 | "Green Bottom Inn, famous old hostelry erected by John Connelly in 1815. The inn had a private race track, where President Andrew Jackson raced his horses without success against Innkeeper Colnnelly's famous Gray Gander, once rated the world's fastest horse and winner of a $20,000 purse. Many notables, including president James Monroe and President James K. Polk, gathered here for rest and diversion. A monument marks the location of the inn, which was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1930." - Alabama Guide • The Inn's tavern and grounds was a "mecca of sporting men from all parts of the South". Connally was a race horse breeder "of no mean renown." At his "Old Green Bottom Race Track," he raised and trained "Gray Gander," the fastest horse then known to the racing world." Andrew Jackson was a frequent visitor to Connally's Inn and there he raced his horses and fought his cocks. - Betts • "Court records in Madison County indicate John Connally died about 1845, leaving an estate that included 2,073 acres. He left a wife Rachel O. Beal Connally who served as administrator of his estate along with John R.B. Eldridge. It took 15 years for the estate to reach a final settlement." - Betts • "One of Huntsville's earliest hostelries, was located on Meridian Pike on site now occupied by Alabama A & M. Built in 1815 by John Connelly, the inn attained widespread fame for its adjoining race track, over which many of the outstanding race horses of the period completed. Gen. Andrew Jackson, an avid follower of the sport, often stopped here to race his horses and fight his cocks. For many years the table where he dined was preserved." - Card Cow • "The Green Bottom Inn was one of Huntsville's earliest hostelries. The inn and tavern were built in 1815 by John Connely... The Inn was located on Meridian Street where Alabama A&M University now stands. It was favorite haunt of General Andrew Jackson where he 'raced his horses and fought his cocks.' The Inn burned in 1931." - Huntsville Madison County Public Library • "It would be in 1815 when the Green Bottom Inn would be built by John Connally near what is now Normal. Here (Andrew) Jackson and (John) Coffee and other early sportsmen came to witness horse races and practice their own skill at horsemanship." - Record • Married: (1.)

This is where his son James who was likely a mulatto lived at the time he was having most of his children. His son James was trained to be a blacksmith (for his father's horse ranch) and became very wealthy in life. | CONNALLY, John Oldham (I984)

| 40 | "He is listed as the son of George Hollingsworth and Jane Elwell with a birth date of 1739 according to Lewis Wright and Eli Jay. (C-610, 1546) He moved from Virginia to South Carolina in 1767. (C-265) He apparently purchased 100 acres ien Co. on the waters of the Little River shortly before marrying on Sept. 29, 1772. His land was bounded by Abraham Hollingsworth. (C-947) According to Eli Jay, he was the leader of the Quaker movement to Ohio in 1804. (C-1546) In any case, he and his family got a certificate to move to Miami MM, Oh on Aug. 8, 1805. (C-106) They had sold their land of 100 plus acres in Newberry Co., SC to Samuel Cothran on July 12 of that same year. (C-897) Isaac was in the 1790 census records living fairly near (Big?) John Coats in the 96th District of Newberry Co., South Carolina. He was the male listed at over age 16. He had 3 males under 16 and 5 females in his household in that year. His father-in-law had been living with him until his death just about the time of the enumeration. He was a farmer by trade. He used to say that his crops never grew better than when his wife, Susie, was away preaching. Susannah often traveled with her sister, Charity Wright Cook who also was a well known Quaker minister. He seems to have supported her ministry well. He also "possessed great physical strength and unbounded courage. During the Revolution when a British officer approached his corn crib he was forbidden entrance. The officer drew his sword and threatened. Big Isaac went to him, took the sword from him, saying: 'Thus far shalt thou go, but no farther.' The Officer succumbed." (C-109, 457, p. 63) His kindly heart was pointed out in "The Annals of Newberry" when an Irishman asked him for work, just as he was going to meeting. He had the man move a pile of stones for him. When he returned, the stones had been moved and he requested him to move them back. He paid him for this service. He was a man who knew his mind. When moving to Ohio, he was asked by a passerby where he was moving. He answered, "I am not moving. I am sitting still." The man responded, " Well, where are you bound then?" He replied, "I am not bound at all. I am a free man." One of his daughters reprimanded him later for his discourteous answers and he told her, he did think it was any of the man's business. He was also known for disliking the young males' style of exposing their suspenders without jacket. When he came across a youth dressed this way, he would lift the suspender pulling the button off. Many a youth avoided him because of this. When they settled in Miami Co., Ohio and built their "rude cabins" he described it sitting in a "dark, mephitic tangled woods." He only lived in these woods, that he helped clear for three years before his death. (C-930) | HOLLINGSWORTH, Isaac (I12094)

Richard Bertie was from an unusually humble stock for the connections he made. He was the son of Thomas Bertie (ca. 1480-bef. 5 June 1555), Captain of Hurst Castle and a master mason, and Aline Say. His paternal grandfather Robert Bertie (died 1501/2[2]) was also a stonemason at Bearsted, Kent, and was married to one Marion, by whom he had two more children, a daughter Joan Bertie and a son William Bertie, born after 1480.[3] Richard matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, on 17 February 1533/1534 and succeeded his father in 1555."

| 42 | "In 60/61, Boudica led the Iceni and other British tribes in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (modern Colchester), earlier the capital of the Trinovantes, but at that time a colonia for discharged Roman soldiers. Upon hearing of the revolt, the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus hurried from the island of Mona (modern Anglesey) to Londinium, the 20-year-old commercial settlement that was the rebels' next target. Unable to defend the settlement, he evacuated and abandoned it. Boudica's army defeated a detachment of the Legio IX Hispana, and burnt both Londinium and Verulamium. In all, an estimated 70,000-80,000 Romans and Britons were killed by Boudica's followers." She is considered a British heroin. Wikipedia | Boudicca * (I17609)

| 46 | "John Mast, Sr. was born in Switzerland in 1740 and died in Randolph Co., N.C. in 1800. Orphaned John, brother, Jacob Mast, and 4 sisters immigrated to the Schuykill River in Pennsylvania under the care of their uncle, Johannes Mn the ship Brotherhood, John Thompson, Captain which arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam on Nov. 3, 1750." This account from a 2nd hand history, although the best info we have, has not yet been supported by first hand records. Supposedly the only copy of the passengers from this ship's arrival included 119 persons out of the 300 who were on board, and no Masts are on it to verify the data above. According to Professor Daniel Mast in an August 30, 1978 letter to the editor on the Englewood Independent newspaper, they were Amish Menonites from the Palitinate in the 1700's. They and the Amish Mennonites in the ship they came on settled around Heidelberg and Bern, Pennsylvania. Due to Indian uprisings, around 1760 they moved into the Conestoga Valley and purchased land in Berks and Chester Co., Pennsylvania. It is here that his brother Jacob Mast became a Bishop of the Mennonite Church. Although Jacob is usually listed as the older brother, there is no first hand evidence of this. Brother John married and had several children before Jacob began having children and could easily be the older brother. Before 1763 and probably around 1760, John Mast, Sr. drifted on foot from what is now Elverson located west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in what appears to be the border of Chester Co., PA and Bucks Co. It was the home of his brother Jacob. He traveled through Virginia to what is now Randolph Co., North Carolina. (C-205) In one account, he moved south because he and his brother had a falling out. In one published account, he and his family of wife and about 4 children migrated with the Beiler and Fisher families leaving Malvern, Chester Co., PA to go to Watuaga Co., NC and then to Rowan County, North Carolina. Malvern was not settled by Amish Mennonites (as opposed to just the Mennonites with whom they rarely associated) until 1768, so it is somewhat unlikely that this account is accurate due to the fact that John and several Fouts and Hoover families bought land on Feb. 17, 1763 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. It became part of Guilford County, NC when Guilford Co. was formed and is currently a part of Randolph County, North Carolina. John's sister, Magdalena moved to what became Randolph Co., North Carolina also in one account. However, I suspect this is not true, as in 1810 she appears to move to Holmes Co., Ohio with her son John from Somerset Co., Pennsylvania. Their other three sisters are supposed to have died unmarried back in Berks Co., PA being buried near their brother, Jacob. C-270g, E) John Mast, Sr. is often listed as a Revolutionary War soldier. This is based on the fact that John Mast Sr. with his son John Mast, Jr. supposedly appear in the records of the Siege of Charleston in the 1797 Yearbook of the City of Charleston, SC on pg. 405. However, when the original records are checked the names are definitely for a family of Mash's, not Masts. I've included a copy of the orginal book sent by Jordan Sutton, jordan65@peoplepc.com. Note the 8th and 9th name down on the right for Jhn Mash Senr and John Mash and compare this to other names ending in h or t on the page. It definitely belongs to a Mash family also in South Carolina at the time and not our John Masts. It makes sense that John Mast Sr. and relatives were not a part of the Revolutionary War because John Mast, along with Andrew Fouts, Jacob Fouts, Frederick Waymire and Andrew Hoover, are shown on the 1779 Randolph Co, NC tax lists of William Cole as having refused to take the Oath of Allegiance because they were pacifists. The other families listed in this group were Quakers suggesting that Jacob Mast had similar feelings. (C-1058, 2251e, E) John Mast Sr. and Barbara had 12 children, ten of whom came to Ohio, seven daughters and son's David, John and Jacob, in 1801. They settled in Miami and Montgomery counties. Many of their children attended Quaker meetings and married Quaker spouses although they were never official members of the Quaker church. This info. is from Brien's Vol. I of Quaker Genealogies, a section entitled: The Mast Family. (C-205) Items in ( ) are added from other sources: HISTORY OF WATAUGA CO., NC, p.330. (C-270b) and info. from Mrs. McIntosh (C-270g) (*NOTE: The dates on this family group sheet should be taken as opinion only. They are often contradicted between sources, especially birth dates. Birth order of John and Barbara Mast's children has not been the same in any two records I've seen.) | MAST, John Sr. * (I8071)
