Seventh Generation The seventh generation descendants of Richard include quite a few notable individuals. Samuel P May was not a descendant but was married to two Sears sisters(Nos. 2804 & 2808) and wrote the definitive work on Richard Sears' genealogy. This volume would not be possible without his remarkable efforts. Rev Edmund H Sears is a well known theologian and author of the words to "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." He also wrote the first Sears Genealogy which was pointed out to contain many errors by Dr May. The Sears' Family Tree is based on Edmund's work and was created by Olive Sears(No. 2222). Sea captains abound and are the subject of many of May's anecdotes. Capt Joshua (No. 2516) the clipper ship captain and Capt Dean (No.2465) a packet captain are just two of the more well known seafarers. The sequence numbers of this generation range from No. 1811 to No. 3590. Their birth dates begin in 1774 (No. 1852) and go to 1856 (No. 3418). There are over 600 individuals with recorded children carried forward from the last generation. May had about 300 families in his seventh generation and we now list about 450 families with surname Sears. Children of this generation number 2200 and were born between 1800-1899. The largest families have 13 children (Nos. 2121, 3181, 3496). Two of the children from this generation have no recorded offspring and are not carried forward to the next chapter but should be noted. Jacob Sears (No.4325) is known for his philanthropy and the Jacob Sears Memorial Library in E Dennis, MA and Clara Endicott Sears (No. 4797) world renowned historical writer. 1805 Elizabeth4 Crowell, Bethia3, Paul2, Richard1) 7 6 5 4 Joseph COLLINS[16526](Stephen Collins, Abigail Crowell, Paul Crowell, 3 2 1 BORN: 19 Apr 1795 Windsor,Hartford co, VT Bethia , Paul , Richard ) DIED: 25 Jul 1854 Troy, NY BORN: 2 Mar 1782 Liverpool, Nova Scotia HUSBAND Henry James NAZRO[14488] DIED: Brookfield(?), Nova Scotia BORN: 31 Jul 1787 Worcester, MA WIFE Elizabeth(?)[16530] DIED: 2 Dec 1851 Troy, NY MARR: 18 Mar 1815 Troy, NY CHILDREN FATHER: John Belcher NAZRO[14489] MOTHER: Mary COFFIN[14490] 3595. i.
