Ancestry Descendants ANCESTRY and DESCENDANTS of AMAZIAH HALL and BETSEY BALDWIN Compiled by EDITH BARTLETT SUMNER 960 South Oxford Avenue, Los Angeles 6, California 1954 Lithoprinted from Author's Typescript, By American Offset Printers, Los Angeles, Calif. FOREWORD The Ancestry and Descendants of Samuel Bartlett and Lucy Jenkins, published in 1951, set forth the first half of the lineage of Henry6 Baker Bartlett (1856-1920), This present work constitutes the second half. Consequently, only an out­ line of this Bartlett family is included here for the sake of clarity of reference. The Bartlett-Jenkins Ancestry consisted principally of Plymouth Colony families and contained several lines to the Kayflower. This Baldwin-Hall Ancestry consists primarily of Connecticut families, although a few from Rhode Island are included. It contains no Kayflower lines but does include a number of important families. These have been traced back to ancient English lines; for example, the Bruen family is given in detail to 1209,with full documentation. Several of Governor William Leete's royal lines are also given. Two articles of general interest have been placed after the lineages-there is a sketch of the town of Guilford, in or near which many of these families settled; also informa­ tive selections from the voluminous manuscript left by Hannah Hall Bartlett (1817-1906), The illustrations include properly authenticized coats­ of-arms for eleven families; also reproductions of two state­ ments in Hannah Hall Bartlett's own hand-writing, which are of value to descendants for proof of lineage. Abbreviations are obvious: b.,born; m.,married; d,,died; dau.,daughter; c before a year (cl847), circa, about. Baldwin or Hall ancestors occurring in other families are in capitals (upper case). DATES. The calendar correction by Gregory XIII in 1582 was immediately adopted by all Catholic countries, but not by England or her colonies until 1752, Before then the new year began on Karch 25, causing the confusing double-dating, as January 14, 1722/3. After 1752 this became JAnuary 14, 1723, "new style," In this compilation the double dates have been given when possible. CONTENTS Family sketches: Alcock, 1 Baldwin, 3 Barnes, 16 Bartlett, 18 Bishop, 21 Bowers, 27 Bradfield, 33 Bruen, 35 Butler, 49 Chittenden 51 Cook, 54 Cruttenden, Crittenden, 56 Dimmock, 58 Downs, 60 Edwards, 62 Evarts, 65 Frisbie, 69 Goldham, 72 Goodrich, 73 Gregson, 75 Hall, John, - 80 Hall, William, 93 Harrison, 95 Hazard, 101 Hull, 103 Hyland, Highland, 105 Ives, 107 Johnson, 109 Kimberly, 112 Lawton, 120 Leete, 126 Mowry, 136 Munger, 139 Paine, 143 Parmelee, 145 Rogers, 150 Rose, 156 Sheafe, 161 Shelley, 167 Shearman, Sherman, 173 Shute, 185 Family sketches, continued: Smith, George, 188 Smith, Henry, 190 Stent, 192 Taintor, 195 Tripp, 199 Tyler, 202 Wardwell, Wardell, Waddell, 205 Whitehead, 210 Wilkinson, 214 Guilford, sketch of, 216 Grandma's Story, 218 ILLUSTRATIONS Chart, ancestry of Betsey Baldwin, before page 1 Chart, ancestry of Amaziah Hall, before page 1 Coats-of-Arms: Baldwin, 3 Bowers, 27 Bruen, 35 Chittenden, - 51 Gregson, 75 Lawton, 120 Leete, 126 Sheafe, 161 Sherman, 173 Shute, 185 Wardwell, 205 Reproduction of Hannah Hall Bartlett's letter accompanying gift of pewter plate, with ac­ count of Eber Hall's return from Valley Forge, facing page 14 Reproduction of second page of Hannah Hall Bartlett's letter to granddaughter Adaline Bartlett Sinsabaugh, with information necessary for her D.A.R. application, facing page 92 .Zach~Baldwin .James4Baldwin .John3 Baldwin .George2 Baldwin .Johnl Baldwin John Baldwin "Maryl Bruen John Bruen "Deborah4 Rose .John3 Rose John2 (Robt)) Rose 0 • 4 Phoebe2 Ives Wm!& Hannah Ives "Hannah Tyler .Peter3 Tyler .Roger2 Tyler Roger1 Tyler s:t: "Ann "" .

From Thomas Aspinwall's Notarial Records: Mr Thomas Alcocke, Loueing and kind brother my love remem­ bered unto you & my sister & on yor children, hoping in God that you are in good health as I and my children are at this present time, now praised be the Lord for it. Brother the cause of my writinge to you is this, I heard not from you a greats while until ml' RICHARD Wright brought me newes that you were well, but he could tell me nothing, concerning my children web is a great griefe unto mee. The parting from them was a great griefe unto mee web brought me neare unto death but the Lord in mercie raised me up againe, 2 Alcock blessed be the Lord for his mercie unto mee. But since Mr Wright came [went] over & can tell me no newes from the~ w<:h is a great griefe unto mee, & I am afraid that they are not well because it pleased God to take away my Brother [George] out of this world before they were able to help themselves. wch makes mee the more fearefulle that they be not s0 looked unto as if it bad pleased Almighty God that hee had lived for then he would have beene a father to them by his pmise to mee. Yet if they be wth any of his friends I hope they will use them well for his sake. Brother my love remembered unto xrs Alcocke & her chil­ dren, hoping in God that they are in good health, the Lord revive his mercie unto them. And Brother my earnest desire is that you would be pleased to doe so much for mee as to send mee a lettre from you of them, &who they be wth, & what trade they be. I should be very glad to see you or them if it might please God that it might be soe; if not, I must be content as well as God will give mee leave. The Lord in mer­ cie to blesse us all & give us all grace to serve him as we ought to doe. And so I rest yor loveinge sister ELIZABETH WHITEHEAD of Lemintun priors.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose."

JOSEPH LEETE. TO MY KINSFOLK~ INTRODUCTION. When I commenced my researches into the history of the family of Leete some forty years ago, I was actuated mainly by the desire to acquire, for my own personal satisfaction, a better knowledge of my ancestry. It was natural therefore, that, when I published my book in I 881, for private circulation only, I should place on record, in the form of a letter to my children, an explanation of the circumstances connected with the production of the work. I wrote as follows :- " EVERSDEN, SOUTH NORWOOD PARK, S.E., 5th September, I88I. " My DEAR CHILDREN' In years to come, when you will be inclined to look more closely than now into the following record relating to your genealogy, you would, if left in ignorance, inquire with a natural wonder, how it came to pass that your father was able to place in your hands this small volume, crowded with facts concerning your ancestry, and bristling, from beginning to end, with the oft-reiterated name of Leete. In anticipation of such curiosity, I will endeavour to relate . Vl INTRODUCTION. the particular circumstances which led to the collection of these details of our family history. You will hardly need to be reminded that I was born, in I 8 3 1, at Royston, situated on the borders of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, where our family have resided since the year 1768, the date at which my great-grandfather, Robert, of Eversden, married and settled in the busy little market town of Royston.

The first sod was turned in 1636, sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth and six years after the Puritans located in the vicinity of what is now known as Boston. On May 31 of that year the members of the Rev. Thomas Hooker's church at Newtown, now known as Cambridge, having disposed of their homes in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, turned their faces towards the Connecticut valley. After a journey of two weeks, which can now be made almost in as many hours, this band of pioneers crossed the Connecticut River and located on the land that was subsequently known as Hartford.

He became registrar for the Bishop of Ely's Court at Cambridge, England, which was investigating the activities of the Puritans, and became converted to Puritan beliefs. In May 1639, he, with his wife, Ann, and their young child, left England for Quinnipiac (New Haven) with the Rev. Henry Whitfield. Leete was an original planter (settler) of Guilford, being one of the 25 who signed the covenant of the Whitfield Company on June 1, 1639 and among those who purchased Indian lands in 1639 and 1641.
