His name has been found in later records to be spelled Asahel Coats. He is listed in his mother's will and is given her estate. The will is dated 1825 in its transcribed form.	COATE, Asahel (I8018)
5	"At age 7 yrs., Edward Cyrus Forte II was taken by Zera Patterson & Marie Amelia Bunnell Patterson to raise in Michigan. Zera always recognized ECII as his son. 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, 1874. 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. (F-317)	FORTE, Edward (Eddie) Cyrus (I10520)
6	"Bartlett" comes from an old Norman French surname, "Barttelot." The Bartlett 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 his service in Ferring, Sussex, where the next five generations lived. In the fifth 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, in 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 secondhand index made from the vital records for Connecticut, Mary's birth date is not in it. 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 evidence supporting the belief that Mary is the daughter of Mary Crittendon and George Bartlet and was likely 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 Hammonasset (River?), and had an original size of 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 who was only in the vital records at the time of her marriage and 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 who was of an appropriate age to be the father of all the other Bartlets known to be living in the area. Our Mary, Deborah, and Judeth are listed in the marriage records but were not recorded in the birth vital records as daughters of George. Also note that all three of these ladies had their last name spelled the same way 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 the recording of their births simply was not made. (F-463) The only other Bartlets in Connecticut at the time who could be parents of these young ladies all lived in Hartford County, CT. Their surnames were consistently spelled Bartlett with two t's, unlike the Bartlets 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 Windsor, 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 seem possible in this time period, especially if Mary had been named to honor a dying mother.	BARTLET, Mary (I11166)
7	"By the order of Job Pugh, on January 12, 1797, 31 lots were platted and a charter was drawn up for the establishment of Pughtown, VA. Jesse Pugh was the surveyor of record. The lots were sold at $1 each, and the purchasers were required to build a house with dimensions of 16 x 16 and to have a brick or stone chimney. If these requirements were not met, ownership of the lot would revert to Job Pugh. The streets running in a southeast-to-northwest direction were Liberty Lane, Adams Street, and Turkey Lane. The streets perpendicular to these were South Street, Stephens Street, Lewis Street, Washington Street, Job Street, and Dennys Street. Some of the original landowners of these lots were John Squib, Charles Johnston, Jacob Folk, Joseph Morgan, George Swhier, Jacob Files, Joseph McKee, William King, Joshua Pickens, Samuel Hott, William Davidson, William Adams, Lewis McCool, Eli Pugh, and James Davison. The post office at Pughtown was established on July 1, 1808. The first postmaster was William H. Holliday, followed by William Rayon and Frederick Nadenboach." (Lynna Search)	PUGH, Job (I7419)
8	"Clermont’s text says that William married Alice. William is probably the John William mentioned in the text as the husband of Elizabeth in a will. By now, William had estates in Wimstone, Holberton, Strechleigh, Forsan, Cokesland, Broke, Donstan, Tamerton, Smytheston, Wimpell, Thurveton, and Estecot, all thought to be in South Devon. He also had the manor of Ryme in Dorset. In 1369, William Fortescue and Nicholas Fortescue granted rights to the manors of Orcheston, North Allington, and some in Tenhed, etc., to Sir John Prideaux." https://fortescue.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Abridged-1869-Edition.pdf	FORTESQUE, William (I17607)
9	"Combination Atlas Map of Grant Co., IN," by Kingman Bros., 1877, in an article written about Enoch P. Jones, M.D., of Marion, Grant Co., IN, states this about his ancestor: "Richard Bright Jones emigrated from Wales to America, settling in OpA." (Possibly also known as Opeccin or Opecking, near Cape Fear.) "...he married Miriam, daughter of Aaron Coppock."	JONES, Richard Bright (I14398)

13	"Early Families of Pennsylvania" gives her name as Mary Jane Harp instead. (C-2408)	HAWKIN, Mary Jane (I10505)
14	"Early Families of Pennsylvania" states that she may have been the Elizabeth married to an Adam Frey who had children with him baptized at Oley Hill.	HARP, Maria Elisabeth (I14929)
15	"Early Immigrants to Virginia" states that she was Mary Baker instead, daughter of Caleb Baker and Catherine Hodwill. It is commonly believed that she was a Baker, but three Calhoun brothers witnessing a deed in which her husband was selling land suggests Mote. Women, whenever possible, had family representatives making sure their interests were considered. Persons descending from this Mary should check their DNA to see if it matches the Baker family or the Calhoun family to verify.	CALHOUN, Mary (I9667)

18	"Geni.com" Farmer from Southampton, England, on the ship "Confidence" on Apr. 24, 1638; grand juror in Barnstable, MA; surveyor of highways in 1674; a farmer in the Great Migration. His marriage is very controversial. His wife is often listed as Mary Little Dove Hyanno, but she was also supposed to be the wife of William Cornwell in Connecticut, who fought with her father in the Indian Wars and was an Indian negotiator. He received land from her father, where they lived and raised children. This is considered more likely to be true.	BEARSE, Capt Austin Augustine European Gypsy (I2201)
19	"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 Connelly'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 were 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.) Mary Kavanaugh (born 1787, Madison County, AL - died 1834, Madison County, AL) on November 28, 1807, in Huntsville, AL. Their children are: Preston Connally, Margaret Oldham Connally Blevins, Catherine Connally (married twice: William Lewis and Cortez D. Kavanaugh), and John Larkin Connally. (2.) Rachel O. Beal Ellett (born 1813, Huntsville, AL - died 1878, Huntsville, AL) in October 1824 in Madison County, AL. Their children are Sally Polk Connally Sale, Andrew Jackson Connally, and Mary Connally Kelley. - OneWorldTree • He bred many famous horses, among them the world-renowned "John Bascomb," named by consent after Rev. Henry Bascomb; "Bill Austin," "Red Mariah," "Longfellow," "Mollie Long," and many others. • John Oldham Connally and John William Connally (both settling in Madison County) were born in the same place. They do not appear to be brothers. They might be cousins. • Early Settler in North Alabama • Some of them say the year of birth is 1788 and others say 1783. The tallies on each date are approximately equal. Since 8 and 3 could be easily confused in old documents, it is hard to say which date is correct. - Editor's Note • Son of John Connally (born 1751, Virginia - died 1807, Georgia) and Sicily Moore (born 1759, Virginia) - OneWorldTree Related Links: • Alabama Guide - Alabama: a Guide to the Deep South by Writer's Program, © 1941, p. 329. • Ancestry.com - Page owned by wise1ok and requires Ancestry.com membership to view.

20	"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 heroine. Wikipedia	Boudicca * (I16270)

23	"John Coate was born Febuary the 18th Day at 20 minuts after 6 in themornign the 3 day of the week in the eyar of our Lord 1772" according to his parents' Bible.	COATE, John (I975)
24	"John Mast, Sr. was born in Switzerland in 1740 and died in Randolph Co., N.C. in 1800. Orphaned John, his brother, Jacob Mast, and 4 sisters immigrated to the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania under the care of their uncle, Johannes, on 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 passenger list 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 of the Englewood Independent newspaper, they were Amish Mennonites from the Palatinate in the 1700s. They and the Amish Mennonites on 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, consisting of his wife and about 4 children, migrated with the Beiler and Fisher families, leaving Malvern, Chester Co., PA, to go to Watauga 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 have moved 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 original book sent by Jordan Sutton, jordan65@peoplepc.com. Note the 8th and 9th names down on the right for Jhn Mash Senr and John Mash and compare these 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 sons 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. * (I7091)

28	"Pocahontas was married to Kocoum in 1610, per the Colonial Secretary of the Virginia Colony, William Strachey. She had at least one daughter, Ka-Okee, before the English captured her at the Patawomeck village in 1613. Ka-Okee was left behind to be raised by Japasaw’s family. She married a Mr. Pettus, an Englishman, and raised a number of children on land adjoining her cousin, Wahanganoche. It is strongly believed that Wahanganoche married one of the daughters of Ka-Okee, as that would have been the only way for him to carry on the tradition of his ancestors in taking a wife of the royal matrilineal succession to ensure that his own children would have the chance to one day lead the tribe." — William L.

30	"SIMS, Richard Wilson, husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away surrounded by love on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington, North Carolina, after a long illness. Born on September 9, 1946, to Karl and Hannah (Wilson) Sims, Richard grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, playing baseball and joining the Boy Scouts, where he earned the Eagle Scout Award. He earned a BA in Business Administration from the Detroit Institute of Technology and later an MA in Professional Management from Indiana Northern, which he attended on the weekends. In his first job as an accountant at Burroughs Corporation, he wore a seersucker suit and caught the eye of a co-worker, Kathleen A. Holub. Their marriage endured for 51 years until his passing, and they had four children: Christopher, twins Melissa and a beautiful baby boy (both deceased), and Elizabeth. They raised their family in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and in Roswell, Georgia. His career also included long stints at Contel Corporation and Verizon Communications. While he was not much of a typist, and his handwriting earned stern looks from his mother, a Latin teacher, he was a wizard with the adding machine and excelled in customer service. He traveled widely for his career, and he once received, unexpectedly, a trophy mailed to his home from Delta Airlines, congratulating him on flying more than two million miles. Although he had only cats growing up, and he claimed not to be an animal person, this changed the day he drove home to find a cute puppy in his son."	SIMS, Richard Wilson (I5654)

38	"Thomas Wright, Esq., was born 19 November 1610 in England. His first wife's name is unknown. He came first, probably, to Watertown, Massachusetts. He was of the Massachusetts Court of Assistants before the Colonial Government was established in Boston and removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut, probably about 1639. He was recognized as a man of influence and high standing. He was deputy to the General Court of Connecticut in 1643; Selectman, 1658; Commissioner on Town Lines, etc. He was made a freeman on 11 May 1654, and his name is on the 1669 list of freemen. He and Enoch Buck were Constables in 1668 to 1669, and he was on the court jury at Hartford the same year. He also seems to have been prominent in the church fight which led many to remove to Hadley, Massachusetts. Thomas had one homestead of three and one-half acres on the west side of High Street, on which his house was built, probably before 1639. His property was bounded by Robert Abbott on the north and Samuel Clark on the south. A house lot of three acres was recorded to him in Wethersfield on 11 December 1640. He received another homestead in 1654, consisting of a house, barn, and five acres of land, bought from Samuel Hale, on the west side of Back Street, between Luke Hitchcock on the north and land belonging to Matthew Griswold on the south. He bought the Richard Belden lot of twenty and one-half acres in West Field in 1654. He became, by purchase, the owner of a large part of the Great Island, thereafter known as Wright's Island, which he mostly gave to his sons Thomas and James, who bought other parcels of the island. Wright's Island, about six or seven miles below Hartford, lay a little north of an east and west line drawn through Wethersfield. Thomas Wright was given a grant of land which took in a part of the island, and he increased his part of it by purchase. He gave this to his sons Thomas and James. The latter increased his part of it by purchase and left most of it to his son James, who acquired nearly all of it and built a house there in 1711. He had a ferry of his own, and a dock was built near the north end of the island. There was a noted fishing place there for salmon and shad. As time went on, the stream east of the island filled up, and a division of its bed was made by arbitration between James Wright and adjacent owners. About 1780/1790, what was known as the island was set off from Wethersfield to Glastonbury, which had been made a town in 1696. The river began to wear away the upper part of the island and continued to do so until the dock finally appeared on the other side of the river. The Wright living there at that time went and claimed the land about it as his own and received it, too. At the present time, the river flows over what was the island—"A ten thousand dollar farm gone into the river." The house was removed to Glastonbury and is now occupied. The island was called by the Indians "Mannahannock" (Great Laughing Place). The Indians used to meet there and have games and wrestling. Thomas married second, on 2 May 1647, Margaret Elson, widow of John Elson, who had been killed by the Indians in the Wethersfield massacre of 1637. There were no children from the second marriage. In his will, Thomas also gave to his wife Margaret, "All the linen that I have in my possession that was of her own spinning." Margaret is said to have been, before her marriage to Elson, the wife of possibly Hugh Hilliard, or Hillier, by whom she had three children: Ben, Job, and John. She died in 1670-1.

(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, 1874. 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.

FORTE, Edward (Eddie) Cyrus (I10520)

"Bartlett" comes from an old Norman French surname, "Barttelot." The Bartlett 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 his service in Ferring, Sussex, where the next five generations lived. In the fifth 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, in 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 secondhand index made from the vital records for Connecticut, Mary's birth date is not in it. 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 evidence supporting the belief that Mary is the daughter of Mary Crittendon and George Bartlet and was likely 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 Hammonasset (River?), and had an original size of 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 who was only in the vital records at the time of her marriage and 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 who was of an appropriate age to be the father of all the other Bartlets known to be living in the area.

Our Mary, Deborah, and Judeth are listed in the marriage records but were not recorded in the birth vital records as daughters of George. Also note that all three of these ladies had their last name spelled the same way 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 the recording of their births simply was not made. (F-463) The only other Bartlets in Connecticut at the time who could be parents of these young ladies all lived in Hartford County, CT. Their surnames were consistently spelled Bartlett with two t's, unlike the Bartlets 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 Windsor, 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 seem possible in this time period, especially if Mary had been named to honor a dying mother.

"By the order of Job Pugh, on January 12, 1797, 31 lots were platted and a charter was drawn up for the establishment of Pughtown, VA. Jesse Pugh was the surveyor of record. The lots were sold at $1 each, and the purchasers were required to build a house with dimensions of 16 x 16 and to have a brick or stone chimney. If these requirements were not met, ownership of the lot would revert to Job Pugh.

The streets running in a southeast-to-northwest direction were Liberty Lane, Adams Street, and Turkey Lane. The streets perpendicular to these were South Street, Stephens Street, Lewis Street, Washington Street, Job Street, and Dennys Street. Some of the original landowners of these lots were John Squib, Charles Johnston, Jacob Folk, Joseph Morgan, George Swhier, Jacob Files, Joseph McKee, William King, Joshua Pickens, Samuel Hott, William Davidson, William Adams, Lewis McCool, Eli Pugh, and James Davison.

The post office at Pughtown was established on July 1, 1808. The first postmaster was William H. Holliday, followed by William Rayon and Frederick Nadenboach."

"Geni.com" Farmer from Southampton, England, on the ship "Confidence" on Apr. 24, 1638; grand juror in Barnstable, MA; surveyor of highways in 1674; a farmer in the Great Migration.

His marriage is very controversial. His wife is often listed as Mary Little Dove Hyanno, but she was also supposed to be the wife of William Cornwell in Connecticut, who fought with her father in the Indian Wars and was an Indian negotiator. He received land from her father, where they lived and raised children. This is considered more likely to be true.

"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 Connelly'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 were 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.) Mary Kavanaugh (born 1787, Madison County, AL - died 1834, Madison County, AL) on November 28, 1807, in Huntsville, AL. Their children are: Preston Connally, Margaret Oldham Connally Blevins, Catherine Connally (married twice: William Lewis and Cortez D. Kavanaugh), and John Larkin Connally. (2.) Rachel O. Beal Ellett (born 1813, Huntsville, AL - died 1878, Huntsville, AL) in October 1824 in Madison County, AL. Their children are Sally Polk Connally Sale, Andrew Jackson Connally, and Mary Connally Kelley. - OneWorldTree

• He bred many famous horses, among them the world-renowned "John Bascomb," named by consent after Rev. Henry Bascomb; "Bill Austin," "Red Mariah," "Longfellow," "Mollie Long," and many others.

• John Oldham Connally and John William Connally (both settling in Madison County) were born in the same place. They do not appear to be brothers. They might be cousins.

• Early Settler in North Alabama

• Some of them say the year of birth is 1788 and others say 1783. The tallies on each date are approximately equal. Since 8 and 3 could be easily confused in old documents, it is hard to say which date is correct. - Editor's Note

• Son of John Connally (born 1751, Virginia - died 1807, Georgia) and Sicily Moore (born 1759, Virginia) - OneWorldTree

It is important to note that in the 1840 census, he had 10 free black males living in his household in Madison County, Alabama. 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.

"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 heroine. Wikipedia

"John Coate was born Febuary the 18th Day at 20 minuts after 6 in themornign the 3 day of the week in the eyar of our Lord 1772" according to his parents' Bible.

COATE, John (I975)

"John Mast, Sr. was born in Switzerland in 1740 and died in Randolph Co., N.C. in 1800. Orphaned John, his brother, Jacob Mast, and 4 sisters immigrated to the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania under the care of their uncle, Johannes, on 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 passenger list 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 of the Englewood Independent newspaper, they were Amish Mennonites from the Palatinate in the 1700s. They and the Amish Mennonites on 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, consisting of his wife and about 4 children, migrated with the Beiler and Fisher families, leaving Malvern, Chester Co., PA, to go to Watauga 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 have moved 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 original book sent by Jordan Sutton, jordan65@peoplepc.com. Note the 8th and 9th names down on the right for Jhn Mash Senr and John Mash and compare these 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 sons 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.)

"Pocahontas was married to Kocoum in 1610, per the Colonial Secretary of the Virginia Colony, William Strachey. She had at least one daughter, Ka-Okee, before the English captured her at the Patawomeck village in 1613. Ka-Okee was left behind to be raised by Japasaw’s family. She married a Mr. Pettus, an Englishman, and raised a number of children on land adjoining her cousin, Wahanganoche. It is strongly believed that Wahanganoche married one of the daughters of Ka-Okee, as that would have been the only way for him to carry on the tradition of his ancestors in taking a wife of the royal matrilineal succession to ensure that his own children would have the chance to one day lead the tribe." — William L.

"SIMS, Richard Wilson, husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away surrounded by love on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington, North Carolina, after a long illness. Born on September 9, 1946, to Karl and Hannah (Wilson) Sims, Richard grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, playing baseball and joining the Boy Scouts, where he earned the Eagle Scout Award. He earned a BA in Business Administration from the Detroit Institute of Technology and later an MA in Professional Management from Indiana Northern, which he attended on the weekends.

In his first job as an accountant at Burroughs Corporation, he wore a seersucker suit and caught the eye of a co-worker, Kathleen A. Holub. Their marriage endured for 51 years until his passing, and they had four children: Christopher, twins Melissa and a beautiful baby boy (both deceased), and Elizabeth. They raised their family in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and in Roswell, Georgia. His career also included long stints at Contel Corporation and Verizon Communications. While he was not much of a typist, and his handwriting earned stern looks from his mother, a Latin teacher, he was a wizard with the adding machine and excelled in customer service. He traveled widely for his career, and he once received, unexpectedly, a trophy mailed to his home from Delta Airlines, congratulating him on flying more than two million miles.

Although he had only cats growing up, and he claimed not to be an animal person, this changed the day he drove home to find a cute puppy in his son."

It was a catastrophic defeat for Scotland, where it became known as "Black Saturday."[6] A highly detailed and illustrated English account of the battle and campaign, authored by an eyewitness, William Patten, was published in London as propaganda four months after the battle.[7]"

"Thomas married second, on 2 May 1647, Margaret Elson, widow of John Elson, who had been killed by the Indians in the Wethersfield massacre of 1637. There were no children from the second marriage.

In his will, Thomas also gave to Margaret, "All the linen that I have in my possession that was of her own spinning."

Margaret is said to have been, before her marriage to Elson, the wife of possibly Hugh Hilliard, or Hillier, by whom she had three children: Ben, Job, and John. She died in 1670-1.

Her will, dated 19 January 1670/1671, mentions her grandson William, son of Job Hillier, deceased; Margaret Woustan and Sarah Holamouth, daughters of her son Benjamin Hillier; and the wife of her stepson Thomas Wright. (She gives her towe [tow], and if that was not enough for her labor of love, her executors were to give more.) The inventory of her estate amounted to £82-19/8."

ELSON, Margaret (I9707)

"Thomas Wright, Esq., was born 19 November 1610 in England. His first wife's name is unknown. He came first, probably, to Watertown, Massachusetts. He was of the Massachusetts Court of Assistants before the Colonial Government was established in Boston and removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut, probably about 1639. He was recognized as a man of influence and high standing. He was deputy to the General Court of Connecticut in 1643; Selectman, 1658; Commissioner on Town Lines, etc. He was made a freeman on 11 May 1654, and his name is on the 1669 list of freemen. He and Enoch Buck were Constables in 1668 to 1669, and he was on the court jury at Hartford the same year. He also seems to have been prominent in the church fight which led many to remove to Hadley, Massachusetts.

Thomas had one homestead of three and one-half acres on the west side of High Street, on which his house was built, probably before 1639. His property was bounded by Robert Abbott on the north and Samuel Clark on the south. A house lot of three acres was recorded to him in Wethersfield on 11 December 1640. He received another homestead in 1654, consisting of a house, barn, and five acres of land, bought from Samuel Hale, on the west side of Back Street, between Luke Hitchcock on the north and land belonging to Matthew Griswold on the south. He bought the Richard Belden lot of twenty and one-half acres in West Field in 1654. He became, by purchase, the owner of a large part of the Great Island, thereafter known as Wright's Island, which he mostly gave to his sons Thomas and James, who bought other parcels of the island. Wright's Island, about six or seven miles below Hartford, lay a little north of an east and west line drawn through Wethersfield.

Thomas Wright was given a grant of land which took in a part of the island, and he increased his part of it by purchase. He gave this to his sons Thomas and James. The latter increased his part of it by purchase and left most of it to his son James, who acquired nearly all of it and built a house there in 1711. He had a ferry of his own, and a dock was built near the north end of the island. There was a noted fishing place there for salmon and shad. As time went on, the stream east of the island filled up, and a division of its bed was made by arbitration between James Wright and adjacent owners. About 1780/1790, what was known as the island was set off from Wethersfield to Glastonbury, which had been made a town in 1696. The river began to wear away the upper part of the island and continued to do so until the dock finally appeared on the other side of the river. The Wright living there at that time went and claimed the land about it as his own and received it, too. At the present time, the river flows over what was the island—"A ten thousand dollar farm gone into the river." The house was removed to Glastonbury and is now occupied.

The island was called by the Indians "Mannahannock" (Great Laughing Place). The Indians used to meet there and have games and wrestling.

Thomas married second, on 2 May 1647, Margaret Elson, widow of John Elson, who had been killed by the Indians in the Wethersfield massacre of 1637. There were no children from the second marriage.

In his will, Thomas also gave to his wife Margaret, "All the linen that I have in my possession that was of her own spinning." Margaret is said to have been, before her marriage to Elson, the wife of possibly Hugh Hilliard, or Hillier, by whom she had three children: Ben, Job, and John. She died in 1670-1.

Her will, dated 19 January 1670/1671, mentions her grandson William, son of Job Hillier, deceased; Margaret Woustan and Sarah Holamouth, daughters of her son Benjamin Hillier; and the wife of her stepson Thomas Wright. (She gives her towe [tow], and if that was not enough for her labor of love, her executors were to give more.) The inventory of her estate amounted to £82-19/8."

Thirdly, I do give and bequeath unto my son John Calhoun the sum of five shillings sterling.

Fourthly, I give and bequeath unto my son David Calhoun the sum of five shillings sterling.

Eighthly, I give and bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth one negro girl named Nancy Dawson and one two-year-old filly called Commarce and also one hundred dollars cash to be paid her one year after my death by my executor and two cows and calves.

Ninthly, I do give and bequeath unto my son Alexander one half of all my landed estate (that is the place where I now live) together with the half of the Devolve tract (that may remain of said tract after William Bell gets one hundred acres laid off where he now lives and that side the whole length of the original line) and one negro girl named Melicy and one roan mare, saddle and bridle and rifle gun and two cows and calves.

Tenthly, I do give and bequeath unto my son George all the other half of all my landed estate to be equally divided between himself and Alexander agreeably to quantity and quality (and after the decease of my wife all that reserve of land for her) to devolve to said Alexander and George to be divided in the manner above directed and one negro girl named Maray Ann; and one negro child named Henry and one sorrel mare, saddle and bridle and one shot gun.

Eleventhly, I will that the residue of my personal property, consisting of one wagon and gear of all kinds together with the remainder of my stock; plantation tools and one sorrel mare called Pickens; that the said property be and remain on the premises for the joint use of the plantation and family; and that when the money that is coming to the estate is collected by my executors after paying the legatees, the remainder, if any, be paid to my widow for the purpose of supplying the necessities of the family and I will that my negro man Willis be and remain on the plantation all the natural lifetime of my widow to help to support her; and that the present family share equally in the production of the plantation. And after the death of my widow, I will that the said Willis devolve to Alexander as his property.

Lastly, I do by these presents appoint and ordain my son Alexander Calhoun to be my sole and lawful executor of this my last will and testament. And I do by these presents revoke and disannul all other wills and testaments by me made. In witness hereof I set my hand and seal, the twenty-seventh day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the testator.

NOTE: I typed this from a typed copy provided by the South Carolina Civil Works Administration. This was part of the WPA program in the 1930s. I corrected spelling, added bold print, and reformatted the text for easier reading. I don't believe I altered the meaning in any way. I made every attempt to find the handwritten original but was unable.
