About the Author

Hartwells across America have been consulting family his- torian Joy Peach for more than thirty years. Born a Hartwell at Littleton, Massachusetts, Joy developed an interest in genealogy while still a child. Intrigued by her grandfather’s incomplete and unindexed genealogy of the Hartwell family compiled in 1887, she began trying to fill in the blanks and was named as the official genealogist for The Hartwells of America family association at its 1975 Annual Reunion. To produce this volume, Joy began the project of revising and correcting the 1956 version of The Hartwells of America by John F. Hartwell and immersed herself in the study of the family. In 1996, Joy completed the National Institute on Genealog- ical Research course given at the National Archives in Washing- ton, DC. In addition to being a member of several genealogical societies, she is also a frequent contributor to, and editorial board member of, MASSOG, the quarterly publication of the Massa- chusetts Society of Genealogists. She has also had articles published in the New England Historic and Genealogical Society’s NEXUS, and, most recently, in the October 2006 issue of The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, as well as in The American Genealogist, and has spoken to a number of groups. She was appointed Registrar for the Captain John Joslin, Jr., Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A volunteer at the Lancaster Historical Commission, Joy answers genealogical inquiries concerning the families whose lives have touched the Lancaster area. When the Lancaster, Massachusetts Historical Society chose to commemorate Black History Month, Joy researched the early African-American residents of that town. Fascinated by the information and compelling stories that she uncovered concerning this relatively unnoticed and unsung segment of the population, she expanded her research to include much of central Massachusetts, including Gardner. In 2000, the Freedom’s Way Heritage Associ- ation recognized the value of her work by granting her a schol- arship to continue her research. The results were published by viii About the Author

Freedom’s Way in the form of a booklet that is used as an educa- tional tool in classrooms. Joy lives in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and is the mother of three children: Lucinda Peach, a professor at American Univer- sity in Washington, DC; John Peach, a creator of movie and tele- vision program sets, who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Rebecca Cooke, an environmental engineer living in Hyde Park, New York, with her husband, Dr. Paul Cooke. For twenty years, Joy has been an active member of Walk’n Mass, the Massachusetts chapter of Volkssmarching, “Walks for the People.” Joy enjoys the health benefits of this noncompetitive sport, which has taken her to interesting places and to three national conventions. Through more than thirty years of research and collabora- tion, Joy has compiled thirteen generations of the descendants of William1. The Hartwells of America Association is pleased to publish the first installment of Joy’s efforts, The Descendants of William Hartwell, Concord Settler, 1636, Through Five Genera- tions. Hartwells throughout America owe a debt of gratitude to Joy for this major contribution to the family’s history. Not one to rest on her laurels, however, Joy is presently readying generations six through thirteen for publication. Introduction

Why a new edition of the Hartwell family saga? Two versions of the story of the descendants of William1 Hartwell, who arrived in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1635 or 1636, have already appeared in print. Those familiar with the first effort, compiled by Lyman W. Densmore in 1887, and titled Hand-Book of Hartwell Genealogy, 1636-1887, can have little doubt that a new edition of that work was in order. Mr. Densmore himself only published that edition as a preliminary work to arouse people’s interest and to solicit input towards a more complete genealogy. Mr. Densmore was never able to realize his plan for this larger work, and lost many of his research notes in a tragic fire. Things came to a standstill for several decades, until John F. Hartwell became family genealogist and, in 1956, published The Hartwells of America, a Genealogy of all the Hartwell Families of the United States and Canada based largely on the Handbook of Hartwell Genealogy (1887) by Lyman Willard Densmore (this somewhat lengthy title is hereinafter referenced as “HOA”). For a time this work was considered the “be-all-and-end-all” of the Hartwell family story in America, and the family association turned its efforts towards finding William1 Hartwell’s English origins. Consideration was even given to producing a genealogy of the Hartwell family in England. A wonderfully appropriate editorial comment concerning “done” genealogies appeared in the July, 1999 issue of The American Genealogist. Editor David. S. Greene writes: Whenever we think about a genealogy that is “done,” we picture name after name in regular ranks, with every date in place and every relationship established beyond question. Of course, once researchers gain the ability to evaluate evidence critically, they realize that no ances- tral line is ever truly complete and that all conclusions are open to critical evaluation. Such evaluation was the hallmark of the “Jacobus School,” and today it is central to [all] major journals in the field. Jacobus once wrote that many people don’t realize how tentative genealogical conclusions are. Of course, with thorough combing x Introduction

of the evidence and careful analysis, we can call many genealogical conclusions “proven” but always with the unspoken reservation that further evidence or evaluation may upset that conclusion. . . . In another way, genealogy is cumulative. People may return to a family and, often in the light of evidence that was not previously available, add to our understanding of it. . . . Genealogy is a process that is investigative and evaluative; it is also a process that is cumulative, with researchers continuing to reconsider and re-evaluate evidence. No matter how well a family has been researched, no family is ever completely done. [italics mine]. Lyman W. Densmore’s and John F. Hartwell’s contributions to the Hartwell family saga should never be underestimated. Both these gentlemen were well-intentioned and both did a fine job, according to the standards of their time, in recording the various twigs and branches of the Hartwell family tree. I would not have been able to accomplish this present volume without their previous input. When I first became the Hartwell family’s genealogist, some years ago now, I thought that my major tasks were to keep the families included in John F. Hartwell’s work updated, and to eventually publish a supplement containing these updates. As I worked more and more with the volumes produced by Densmore and John F. Hartwell, I came to realize that a supplement just wasn’t going to “do the trick.” For one thing, John F. Hartwell had already (in 1962) published a supplement to his 1956 work. Trying to integrate the information in that supplement with the information in the 1956 volume is a daunting task, as anyone who has tried it will soon become aware. Trying to integrate a second supplement would only further complicate this process. Moreover, there were several grievous errors regarding the early generations. The most flagrant of these is probably the statement that John2 Hartwell married sisters. Other misinformation includes (but is not limited to) the incorrect identity of Samuel2 Hartwell’s third wife, confusion about several different William Hartwells, the conflation of two Phipps Hartwells into Introduction xi one man, and the conflation of two Samuel Hartwells into one man, with the children of the younger Samuel Hartwell being attributed to still another Samuel (actually Robert) Hartwell, who never had any children. These last two errors have caused descendants to be included in the wrong generation from William1 Hartwell, and would be difficult to explain in a supplement. There are at least two supposed “divorces” that never happened, and several misidentifications of spouses, not to mention a few cases where children are attributed to their grandparents rather than their parents. In addition to the above problems, there are date “typos” in the 1956 work almost too numerous to catalog. These are probably the fault of the type- setter rather than the genealogist, but still result in some curious, often impossible-to-believe chronologies. Lastly, neither Densmore nor John F. Hartwell documented their work. Although both of them apparently looked at some probate records and deeds, they did not convey this to their readers, nor did they give many clues as to where they had obtained their information. Neither gentleman evidently thought places were nearly as important as dates, and both go on for generations without mentioning a location, as if (for example) being born in Maine, marrying in Illinois, and dying in California were not relevant to one’s life history. John F. Hartwell’s 1956 work is no longer accepted by hereditary societies, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, as proof of descendancy. Modern genealogical techniques call for documentation of every vital statistic, and I have tried hard to follow this rule. My impossible dream was to replace every “HOA” reference with a citation from an acceptable source such as a town record, cemetery inscription, or other evidence, but I have had to resort to “HOA” for a number of references, primarily in states such as New York, that have poor vital records. xii Introduction

Format

A few comments about format are in order at this point. Densmore started with the oldest progenitor (William1), then the oldest of the second generation (John2), oldest of the third generation, and so on, down to his own day. He then went back to the second oldest of generation two, second oldest of generation three, etc. This method not only resulted in wide separation of siblings, but, coupled with a lack of surnames, is almost as impossible to follow as it is to explain. The 1956 edition used a modified Register format, and John F. Hartwell deserves great credit for managing to rearrange Densmore’s family groups into this simpler format. Register format is a time-tested arrangement of families, developed by the New England Historic and Genea- logical Society, and today it is almost exclusively the format used by serious genealogists. John F. decided to separate his com- pilation into “Elder Male” and “Younger Male” lines, a perfectly acceptable arrangement, but one I have chosen to ignore in the interest of keeping every descendant of William1 in “the same part of the bus,” so to speak. My work is separated by generation rather than male progenitor.

Numbering System

My numbering system differs markedly from John F. Hartwell’s. Whereas he only gave people an arabic number, I have chosen, in accordance with Register format, to give people a roman numeral indicating their place in their family, and an arabic number, which is used primarily as a finding aid. True Register format calls for an arabic number only on those people being continued into the next generation. Those known to have died young, who had no progeny, or about whom no further information is available, are given only a roman numeral. I started out using this method, but then went back and gave every person born a Hartwell an arabic number (those who are “continued” Introduction xiii have a + sign before the arabic number). My reasons for this are two-fold: 1. It is always possible that further information will appear regarding someone who supposedly “died young” but really didn’t, or information may arise about someone previously thought to have had no later history. In the event of those happen- ings, the person will have a ready-made number, and we will not have to resort to “101a,” “A203b,” and so on, as John F. Hartwell did. 2. The number serves to give an indication of how many Hartwell-named descendants of William1 have actually appeared on the face of the earth at any point in time, and can possibly be used later to compile interesting statistics. Many people fail to realize that John F. Hartwell went back to number 2 when numbering the “Younger Male” line, thereby causing two people (one in each section of the genealogy) to carry the same number. This has sometimes caused needless hunting when people state that their ancestor is number such-and-such but don’t specify whether elder or younger male line. Each generation begins with the number of that generation, then a decimal point, followed by the birth order of that person in his or her generation. Thus, generation 4 begins with number 4.1 and ends with number 4.155, indicating that 155 Hartwells were born in that generation. Generation 5 begins with number 5.1 and continues to the youngest person born in that generation. This in- novative numbering system was adopted because adding a new Hartwell to any generation caused the entire work from that point on to have to be renumbered. This system means that only the generation into which the new Hartwell is added needs to be renumbered. xiv Introduction

Female Lines How far to carry non-Hartwell surnamed lines has been a continuing, not to say heart-wrenching, problem. Certainly any two people who can claim William1 Hartwell as a 10th great- grandfather share the same amount of his blood in their veins, regardless of whether or not their surname is currently Hartwell. That being said, the majority of surname genealogies (of which this is one) do not carry the descendants of people who no longer bear that surname much beyond the first generation, if that. Densmore and John F. Hartwell were quite inconsistent, carrying some female lines for several generations, and completely ignor- ing others. Apparently they included whatever was submitted to them, but did not go out of their way to research uncommuni- cative females. I wanted to be consistent in my treatment of all female Hartwells who married and had progeny, and eventually decided to carry these lines only through the grandchildren of the Hartwell-named woman, even though more information might be, and often is, readily available (such information more properly belongs in a genealogy devoted to the surname these people currently carry). All information about such Hartwell-related families is included under the biography of the Hartwell-named progenitor (usually the grandmother), who is the only person in the family to be given an arabic number (two rare exceptions to this rule are Francis Hartwell Blood and Simon Hartwell Tuttle, both of whom dropped their birth surname and took up their mother’s maiden name). The Hartwell-named progenitor is also the only person to be given a super-scripted “generational” number as, in the strict genealogical sense, her children and grandchildren are not x number of generations from William1 (although they really are), but are however many generations they are from the progenitor of their birth surname. In other words, while I am Joy F.10 (Hartwell) Peach, my children should use a super-scripted “12” after their names, since they are twelfth-generation descendants of “old father Peach” of Marblehead, Massachusetts. On the Introduction xv other hand, my brother’s children are entitled to use a super- scripted “11,” as they are eleventh-generation descendants of William1 Hartwell and still bear his surname. While some of these genealogical rules may seem like sexist mumbo-jumbo, the fact remains that to try to carry non-Hartwell lines for an infinite number of generations would be a nearly impossible task. As it is, I sometimes despair of getting all the Hartwells properly cataloged. More are appearing all the time, largely thanks to the Hartwell Web site (www.hartwell.org) con- structed by our official Web-master, Wes Hartwell. The queries he receives point up the fact that there are many Hartwell problems still to be solved. Although some unidentified spouses have been found, several remain unknown (or unconfirmed). Several “un-attached” Hartwell families have been successfully “attached” and others have been tenuously “attached,” but the origins of others are still lost in the mists of time. Moreover, at least one previously “attached” family is now found to have been incorrectly attributed to an ancestor who clearly had no son.

Spelling Spelling was far from consistent even after the Revolution. To a great extent names in this book have been spelled as found in each record. This often provides different spellings of an indi- vidual’s name at his birth, upon marriage, and in a deed or will. For example, Hayward is found as Heywood and even Howard for the same person. With variant spellings so common-place, use of “(sic)” is restricted to exceptional examples. To assist the reader, most variant spellings of a name are lumped together in the index, rather than separately alphabetized.

Place Names To conserve space, all county, city, town, and other geo- graphic references in this work are to locations within Massa- chusetts, unless otherwise indicated. xvi Introduction

Because the process of the division, annexation, and re- naming of Massachusetts’s colonial political subdivisions into its present-day counties, cities, and towns continued even into the middle years of the twentieth century, it is possible that an ancestor being researched was born, married and raised a family, and died in three different municipalities (or even two different states: until 1820 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts included present-day Maine) without, however, ever having left the family homestead. A very useful resource for genealogists researching Massachusetts families to help in tracing lines of descent through vital records kept since the 1630s is Galvin, William Francis, Historical Data Relating to Counties, Cities, and Towns in Mass- achusetts (NEGHS, 5th ed. 1997), which summarizes such municipal data as dates of division, annexation, and incorporation, archaic names, and section and village names and contains references to survey maps held by the Massachusetts Archives and a comprehensive index.

Conclusion So, while this genealogy is far from “done,” it does contain my best efforts to date on the families involved, and I hope it will become the standard work on the family until something better comes along. In conclusion, I would like to thank the numerous correspondents who have provided interesting data (most of whom are acknowledged in the text), the personnel of the many research facilities I have haunted and, most of all, the members of The Hartwells of America Association for putting their faith in me. It has been a fascinating and rewarding project, and will continue to keep me occupied for the foreseeable future.

1. WILLIAM1 HARTWELL died at Concord, Massachusetts, 12 March 1689/90 (CBMD 55), “in the 77th year of his age” (Middle- sex Probate File 10598). He may be the William Hartwell baptized at Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England, 21 December 1613, son of Francis and Mary (—) Hartwell (Beetle Gazette, Vol. 1, #1), although proof positive is lacking at this time (a discussion of William’s possible ancestry appears in Appendix A). William was evidently one of the many adventurous men who departed England during the years of the Great Migration (1629- 1640). His name does not appear on any ship’s passenger list found to date, but many of the 20,000 or so English who reached America during those years are similarly unrecorded. He first appears in the New World in 1636 when he was allotted a tract of nine acres of land in Concord, probably the fifth allotment from Meriam’s corner, nearly a mile east of the public square (HOA). He was one of the first settlers of Concord, who, on their way to “discover the fitness of the place” in 1635 or 1636, had struggled through the thickets, where their hands are forced to make way for their bodies passage, and their feet clambering over the crossed trees, which when they missed they sunk into an uncertain bottom in water, and wade up to their knees, . . . that the ragged bushes scratch their legs fouly, even to wearing their stockings to their bare skin in two or three hours. If they be not otherwise well defended with boots or buskings, their flesh will be torn. Some of them being forced to pass on without further provision, have had the blood trickle down at every step. And in time of summer, the sun casts such a reflecting heat from the sweet fern, whose scent is very strong, that some herewith have been very near fainting, although very able bodies to undergo much travel (Edward Johnson, The Wonder-Working Providence of Sions Saviour in New England, ed. William Frederick Poole [Andover, Mass., 1867], 81). On 18 May 1642, William was made a freeman of the colony, an honor conferred by the General Court only on those who could produce evidence that they were respectable members of some Congregational church. Being made a freeman was a prerequisite of the right to vote (Lucius R. Paige, List of Freemen of Massachusetts, 1630- 1691, 19 [hereinafter, Freemen]). 2 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

William was one of the petitioners on a document dated 5 October 1653, which went to the General Court requesting the incorporation of the town of Chelmsford. On 18 October 1659, with four other men, he petitioned the General Court for assistance in maintaining bridges across the Concord River. He was road overseer (along with Timothy Wheeler) in the west quarter in 1663- 64 (HOA). On 7 September 1664, a petition of Robert Fletcher, William Buss and William Hartwell was filed in court about a Joseph Lamson, who had been previously complained of, but who had been repentant of his misdeeds, so that the signers state “we doe pase it by” (Middlesex County Court Files, as quoted in the Fletcher manuscript by Winifred Lovering Holman). An address to the throne, dated 3 August 1664, from the citizens of Concord, expressing their loyalty, bears his name. In 1666 he was apparently one of the larger land holders in Concord, with 157 acres of land “be they more or less” in twenty separately described tracts (HOA). In 1671 William was granted power of administration on behalf of his widowed daughter, Sarah Parker, and her children (Middlesex Probate File 16483). In 1672 he was one of a committee of nine citizens appointed to frame rules for the guidance of the selectmen of Concord (HOA). On 15 October 1673, “the cornet’s place in the troop under the conduct of Thomas Wheeler being vacant, Court chose Henry Woodis the present quarter-master to be cornet and Corporall William Hartwell to succeed said Woodis as quarter-master” (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed., Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, 1661-1674, 4:II). William undoubtedly had only one wife, JEZAN (—), who was born ca. 1608 according to her testimony concerning the verbal will of her daughter, Sarah Parker. Jezan (as it is spelled in this document) testified before Simon Willard on 3 April 1675 that she was “aged 67 years or thereabouts” (Middlesex Probate File 16483). Jezan died at Concord 15 August 1695 (CBMD 57), with no age First Generation 3

Deposition of Jezan Hartwell (Middlesex County Probate File). given. [Notes: 1) Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary incorrectly credits William with two wives, Susan and Jazan. The name Susan appears only in the Cambridge copy of their son Samuel’s birth (NEHGR 8[1854]:347), and may have been misread by the clerk who transcribed the record, as all other evidence seems to agree that her name was Jezan (also spelled Jazan, Jasan, Jassin, etc.). 2) Jezan’s apparently unique name is a mystery on several levels. This researcher has been told by linguistic experts that the name definitely does not appear to be “English,” and, in an age when children were almost invariably named for their parents and/or grand-parents, this name was not used by any of Jezan’s descendants until the twelfth generation. It has been suggested that the name may possibly be a feminine version of Jazaniah or Jessaniah, but no connection with any males bearing these names has been found.] 4 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

No marriage record between William Hartwell and Jezan has yet been found. In his will, William1 Hartwell referred to Francis Fletcher (son of Robert1) as “cousin.” This reference has caused speculation that William may have married Robert Fletcher’s sister; likewise, Robert Fletcher may have married a sister of William’s; or the wives of the two men may have been sisters (Snow, Nora E., The Snow-Estes Ancestry). However, in those days, the term “cousin” denoted a variety of relationships, including, among others, nephew. It is possible that, because Francis Fletcher was married to Elizabeth Wheeler, sister of William’s daughter-in-law, Ruth (Wheeler) Hartwell (wife of William’s son Samuel), this was a close enough relationship to earn Francis the title of “cousin” to William. It is not known if William remained on his original allotment until his death. The Lincoln branch of the family believed that he spent his last years in what is now Lincoln, on the Hartwell farm, and the clause in his will giving his present dwelling to his younger son, Samuel, and the statement that this son lived nearest to him, lends color to the opinion (HOA). William made his will 19 December 1689, as follows: I William Hartwell of Concord in the County of Middlesex in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, being at present weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, do make this my Last Will & Testament in manner following. First, I commit my soul into the hands of God, trusting in his grace through Jesus Christ that he will receive it unto himself when he pleases to take me out of the world, & my body to be decently Buryed, hoping for the resurrection thereof at the appearing of Christ to Judgment, to Eternal life. And as for the outward estate which God hath been pleased to give, I having already disposed to my eldest son John by deed of gift, to the number of an hundred and four acres of upland & meadow or thereabouts, as by the said deed of gift may appear, of which he is possessed, and having also in the like deed of gift given an hundred acres to my younger son Samuel, seventy acres of which hundred he is also possessed of, my will is that he shall have to make up the said hundred acres twenty seven acres of upland out of my land which lyeth near Mr. Ephraim Flint’s great meadow, which twenty seven acres shall be of that which lyeth nearest the meeting house & for the rest of my Lands and effects my will is that they shall be disposed of as followeth. I dispose to my eldest son John First Generation 5 all my parcel of Land in the brick kiln field and six acres of upland more or less lying near a pond adjoining to some land of my son Samuel & to some of Mr. Hoar’s Land on the northeast. Also five acres of land in Crane field bounding with Christopher Wooley’s Land on the north, Sergeant Wheeler on the west and to the Land given to my son Samuel eastwardly. Also four acres in Crane field bounded on the southwest with Sergeant Wheeler’s Land, with Deacon Luke Potter on the southwest, with William Taylor on the northwest, & with John Myriam on the northeast. Also I give my son Samuel seven acres of meadow being part of thirteen acre meadow lying beyond Crane field adjoyning to John Myriam’s Land on the north, and also two thirds of my Land lying in the ox pasture adjoining to Francis Fletcher his meadow, on the south, also five acres of upland more or less ... the Bay path to Mr. Ephraim Flynt’s great meadow, part of it adjoining to Nathaniel Stow’s Land on the east side, also an acre & three quarters of land in cedar swamp, all this to be enjoyed by him & his heirs & assigns for ever, after mine and my wife’s decease, except my wife surviving me shall have need to sell any parcel or parcels thereof for her supply with convenient maintenance which I give her power to do as is hereafter expressed. Also I bequeath to my son Samuel and to his heirs & assigns forever, my present dwelling house and house lot with the other Buildings upon it with an acre & an half of broken up land & the other half of the little swamp before mentioned with a little piece of meadow about two acres with the upland adjoining to it upon the plaine behind the Hills adjoining to that of which he is already possessed. Also six acres of meadow adjoining to the seven given to my son John as is before expressed and four acres of upland adjoining to it on the south, also five acres of upland near land at the end of the Bounds not yet laid out lying towards Mr. Lane’s farm. Also six acres of upland more or less upon the said ... from south west adjoining to Deacon Myriam’s Land on the north & to James Taylor on the south. Also three acres in Chestnut field adjoining to Mr. Ephraim Flynt’s pond on the west. Also the other third part of my Land in the ox pasture adjoining next to John Farwell’s Land, also three acres more or less lying behind the Hills bounded by the Land which he had of his father-in-law George Wheeler on the south, by the Land of my other son John on the north, by the land of Samuel Jones on the southwest, adjoining to the pond which the East quarter gave him the said Samuel my son. Also four acres of meadow in the great Meadow adjoining to the acre of which he is already possessed, so that my will is that he shall have all the five acres bounded by Eliphalet Fox on the south, by William Baker on the north & the great River on the west & the upland on the east. Also one acre in Cedar swamp. Also I bequeath to him all my right & interest in the additional tract of Land given by the General Court to the Town commonly called the village. All the 6 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

parcels of land above said not to be enjoyed by my said sons John & Samuel till after the decease of my beloved wife Jezan, except the twenty seven acres to make up the hundred acres given to my son Samuel. It being my will that my said wife shall have the said house & house lot & all the parcels before expressed for her use and maintenance during the term of her life in case she survives me & I do hereby give her power to sell any parcel or parcels of the said lands except the house & lot & that which is near to it in case she shall need to sell them for her supply, provided that she sell not more out of that given to one son than out of that given to the other. Also I leave to my said wife all my cattle, horse & other living creatures for her own use during her life & for the satisfaction of any debts that I may be in at the time of my death and the payment of the charges of my burial. And at her death what is not before disposed of for the ends before mentioned then to be disposed of to the children of my said sons and daughters or the worth of them equally. Also I leave to my said wife all my wearing apparel for her to dispose of for her own comfort, if she pleases, or that she give one garment to my son-in-law Jonathan Hill. Also I desire her to give to the two eldest sons of the said John & Samuel all the arms belonging to my Trooping horse with the bridle & saddle, to be as equally divided between them as may be, and whereas the sword of officers in a troop is usually the Trumpetors of the Troop, my wish and desire is that my sons John & Samuel pay unto each of the Trumpettors four shillings in stead of the said sword which I desire may be kept for one of my grandchildren as aforesaid. Also my will is that my son Samuel’s second son called William shall have my fowling piece when he comes to the age of twenty one years. Also I bequeath to my said wife all the moveables in my house during her life for her use & after her death to my Daughter Mary; and my will is that none of them be sold for my wife’s supply, only I particularly bequeath a little Iron pot to my grandchild Mary, the Daughter of my son Samuel. Also my wish is that if the moveables in the house given to my Daughter Mary Hill amount not at my wife’s decease to the sum of forty pounds, then the said sum of forty pounds is to be made up to her by my two sons John and Samuel equally as followeth: To my two grandchildren by my Daughter Sarah deceased, as followeth: To my grandson Benjamin one pound ten shillings & to my grandson John ten shillings, to be paid to them by my said sons John & Samuel in equal proportion at the end of two years after the said Lands come into their hands by my wife’s decease. If they shall not take this gift thankfully but complayne, my will is that they shall have nothing at all. Also I leave all my utensils of husbandry (which I do not include in the moveables given to my Daughter Mary Hill) to my said wife or to her disposal before or at her decease. I also bequeath my three Books of Mr. Burroughs his works to my said two First Generation 7

sons and my said Daughter Mary, to each of them one. Also my will is that my said sons pay to each of my five grandchildren by my Daughter Mary Hill ten shillings within the space of two years after the Estate I hereby Leave has come into their possession. I also do desire my son Samuel according to his promise made before several witnesses, to take good care of his aged mother & to be helpful to her in the management of her concerns for her comfort, he living most convenient for it. Also I earnestly desire my said sons John & Samuel & as their father’s charge to them, to maintayne brotherly Love and unity between them, Living as becometh brothers in mutual helpfullness each to other. And lastly I do hereby appoint my said beloved wife & my sons John & Samuel the executors of this my last will & Testament & my much respected friend Luke Potter & my cousin Francis Fletcher overseers of the same. In witness whereof I the said William Hartwell have hereunto set my hand and seal this nineteenth Day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty and nine. Signed sealed & published by William William X Hartwell Hartwell as his Last will & Testament his mark in the presence of Jonathan Prescott John Meriam Samuel How (Middlesex Probate File 10598).

+2.5 v. MARY HARTWELL, no birth date on record; m. JONATHAN HILL. [Notes: 1) It is possible that Mary’s name has been incorrectly transcribed as “Marthe” at some point in time. No other records mentioning “Marthe” exist, and Mary’s marriage date is consistent with a young woman born on “Marthe’s” birth date. No evidence has been found for HOA’s statement that Mary was born “about 1643.” Her husband was born in 1646 and chances are good that she was younger than he. 2) A 2003 Willard Family Newsletter indicated that a previously unidentified John Willard, hung as a witch at Salem in 1692, was possibly the illegitimate son of John Willard of Concord and Martha Hartwell. The document containing this startling bit of news is currently being analyzed, and the Willard Family hopes to have more information soon. First Generation 9

3) Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary names other children of William and Jezan as: William, born probably in 1638; Jonathan and Nathaniel by second wife, Jessie. These children are also mentioned by Shattuck in his History of Concord, published in 1855, but there is no documentation on any such children or wife.] 10 Descendants of William1 Hartwell Second Generation

2.1 SARAH2 HARTWELL (William1) was born probably at Concord, circa 1639 and she died there 8 July 1674 (CBMD 18), with no age given. She married at Billerica, 18 April 1661 (BVR 267), BENJAMIN2 PARKER, who was born at Cambridge, -- June 1636 (CVR 1:537) and died there 17 January 1671/2 (CVR 2:686), son of Robert1 and Judith (—) Parker. Sarah and Benjamin Parker are buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Cambridge (Church records). “Robert1 Parker came with Governor Winthrop, possibly from Woolpit, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England. He was a member of the Boston Church in 1634, and of Cambridge in 1638. He died in 1685, age 83; his wife Judith died 1682, age 80. He was one of the sub-purchasers of the Dudley farm in Billerica, held a proprietor’s right, but probably never lived there. In 1660, [his son] Benjamin Parker had a grant on the south slope of Bare Hill, his house standing west of the old Woburn road” (Hazen, History of Billerica). Benjamin Parker’s will named his wife Sarah as executor of his estate, but on 2 December 1671, William Hartwell testified that she was incapable of executing the will, and he was granted power of administration by Captain Daniel Gookin and Thomas Danforth (Middlesex Probate File 16483). Sarah’s (verbal) will, dated 1675 and attested to by Jezan Hartwell and Isabell Taylour, left her wearing apparell to her sons and her sister, “the wife of Jonathan Hill of Billerica” (Middlesex Probate File 16796). The inventory of Sarah’s possessions stated that her estate “was indebted to Wm Hartwell for the sum of 12 pounds for keeping John Parker the younger son of the sd Sarah about two years and five months.” As we have seen, William Hartwell, in his will, left his grandson Benjamin Parker one pound ten shillings, and his grandson John Parker ten shillings, with the admonition “if they shall not take this gift thankfully but complayne, my will is that they shall have nothing at all.” (Middlesex Probate File 10598). One wonders what family dynamics lay behind this seemingly callous bequest. 12 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

John’s will left his estate to his wife Mary, but the Billerica selectmen decided that she was incapable of managing the estate properly, and appointed Samuel Danforth to be co-executor. After Mary’s death, John Blanchard, Benjamin Shed and Samuel Danforth stood bond, 3 April 1749, to administer the estate, and Samuel Danforth was chosen executor (Probate File 16633). Mary (Crosby) Parker has not been identified; her garbled identification in HOA is incorrect on several counts. John and Mary evidently had twins, John and Mary, b. 30 March 1745 (BVR 143), d. in infancy. 6.

2.2 JOHN2 HARTWELL (William1) was born at Concord, 23 (12) 1640 [23 February 1640/1] (CBMD 2), and he died there, of smallpox, 12 January 1702/3 (CBMD 58). He married first at Concord, 1 June 1664 (CBMD 11), PRISCILLA WRIGHT, who was born probably at Woburn before 1646 and died at Concord, 3 May 1681 (CBMD 24), almost certainly a daughter of John and Priscilla Wright of Woburn, born before that couple’s first recorded child in 1646. Naming patterns, plus the fact that John and Priscilla (Wright) Hartwell’s youngest child lived and died in Woburn, contribute to this identification. More about John and Priscilla Wright of Woburn can be found in William R. Cutter’s Wright Family of Woburn, Mass. (NEHGR 37[1883]:76-77). John married second, at Concord, 23.8.1682 [23 October 1682] (CBMD 25), ELIZABETH WRIGHT, who was born probably there ca. 1655 and died there 16 December 1704 (CBMD 68), daughter of Edward and Elizabeth (Mellowes) (Barrett) Wright. Despite their common surname, Lyman Densmore’s statement (copied verbatim by John F. Hartwell and appearing in several genealogical publications), that John2 Hartwell’s wives were sisters, cannot be correct. Firstly, the Biblical dictum that husband and wife Second Generation 15 become “one flesh” was taken in the most literal sense in the 17th century. Hence, the sister of a man’s wife became his sister, and marriage with such “in-laws” was frowned upon and usually prohibited in precisely the same way as if they had been actual blood relatives. There is an interesting discussion of this prohibition in an article by eminent genealogist Donald Lines Jacobus (The American Genealogist, 9[1932]:70-73). Secondly, Edward Wright, who apparently had no earlier wife, could not have married the widow Elizabeth (Mellowes) Barrett until late in 1652 or 1653, and thus could not have had a daughter old enough to marry in 1664. Elizabeth Mellowes had married first, Thomas Barrett, who drowned in the Sudbury River 14:4m:1652 [14 June 1652] (Middlesex Probate File 1269), by whom she had two children. Thirdly, Priscilla is not listed as a child of Edward and Elizabeth Wright in the highly regarded genealogy of the Bulkeley family by Donald Lines Jacobus (The Bulkeley Genealogy: Reverend Peter Bulkeley...[1933]). Descendants of John and Priscilla (Wright) may be somewhat disappointed by this finding, as descendants of John and Elizabeth (Wright) can claim descent from King Henry II through Elizabeth’s Mellowes/Bulkeley ancestry (see Appendix B). Further research might establish a relationship between John Wright of Woburn and Edward Wright of Concord, both of whom apparently had con- nections to Warwickshire, England. [Note: In a deed to John Hoar of Concord, Edward Wright stated that he was “sole heir” to his father’s estate of Castle Bromwich in Warwickshire (Middlesex Deed), but this comment does not necessarily indicate that Edward was an only child]. John Hartwell served in King Philip’s War, as a member of Captain Thomas Wheeler’s company, which marched to the defense of Quabog [now Brookfield]. He was made a freeman of the colony 21 March 1690 (Freemen, 36). The exact place of his residence is unknown, as he owned several small tracts of land scattered over Concord. In the apportionment of the grant of lands in Concord Village, now Acton, he was allowed one right. On 19 April 1697 he was one of a committee to run lines between Blood’s farms and the 16 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Chelmsford line, “from a stake at Hill’s ordinary with Chelmsford line to Walter Powers’ hill.” In 1698 and 1702 he was tithingman. On 23 January 1699, John and Elizabeth “his now married wife” deeded to John Fassett (husband of John Hartwell’s niece Mary Hill) a “meadow and uplands, formerly belonging to William Hartwell, dec’d” (Middlesex Deed 12:513). This property was located in what is now the town of Bedford. On 21 February 1703, Ebenezer Hartwell and Ebenezer Lamson approved the appointment of Peter Wright, the boys’ maternal uncle, as guardian to “Edward, aged about 15 years and Jonathan, aged about 13” (Middlesex Probate File 10563). John’s estate was settled 12 March 1704/5 by an agreement between his heirs, who are named as “sons Ebenezer and John, son-in-law Ebenezer Lamson and daughter Sarah Lamson, John Meriam, attorney for son William, son Joseph, daughter Elizabeth, and Peter Wright, guardian for sons Edward and Jonathan” (Middlesex Probate File 10562).

WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. 22 March 1678 (CBMD 22, incorrectly as “son of William”). William married at Concord, the Rev. Mr. Joseph Estabrook officiating, 18 Jan 1702/3 (CBMD 54), ABIGAIL, about whom no information has been found to date. After the date of their marriage, this couple disappears from the records of the area. According to HOA, William and Abigail “prob. lived in Dunstable, NH in 1744.” HOA also asserts that William died at Concord 10 July 1762, but both these statements almost certainly Second Generation 17

apply to other William Hartwells. William4 Hartwell (see #4.47) purchased land in Dunstable 10 June 1743 and is no doubt the signer of the petition dated Dunstable 18 June 1744. (A discussion of the William Hartwell who probably died 10 July 1762 appears under #4.47-iv.) Densmore believed that William may have been represented by lawyer John Merriam at the division of his father’s estate because of family resentment over the fact that he married only six days after his father’s death. However, John’s estate was not settled until after the widow Elizabeth’s death in 1704, and William and Abigail may well have left the area by that time. Further research is indicated. +3.6 vi.

ELIZABETH HARTWELL, b. 23.10.83 [23 Dec 1683] (CBMD 26) or 23 Dec 1684 (CBMD 30); death record not found. Elizabeth was unmarried in 1717/18 when her uncle, Peter Wright, wrote his will, giving her the use of his estate after the decease of his wife “during the time of her natural life,” but she subsequently married at Concord, Justice Minott officiating, 3 Dec 1722 (CBMD 106), SAMUEL WILSON, perhaps the son of William and Sarah (Blood) Wilson, b. Concord, 5 May 1690 (CBMD 33), d. there 5 July 1738, in the 49th year of his age (CBMD 435). Samuel is buried in Concord’s Main Street Burying Ground, but there is no record of Elizabeth, or of any children. +3.8 viii. EDWARD HARTWELL, b. 23 May 1689 (CBMD 30); m. SARAH WILDER. +3.9 ix.

2.3 SAMUEL2 HARTWELL (William1) was born at Concord, 26 (1) 1645 [26 March 1645] (CBMD 4), and he died there 26 July 1725 (CBMD 110). He married first, at Concord, 26 October 1665 (CBMD 12), RUTH WHEELER, who was born probably at Concord ca. 1647 (John Brooks Threllfall, Fifty Great Migration Colonists, 497) and died there 19 December 1713 (CBMD 82), daughter of George and Catherine (Penn?) Wheeler, as is shown by the wording of both William Hartwell’s and George Wheeler’s wills. Ruth’s birth is unrecorded; HOA has incorrectly accorded her the birth date of Ruth, daughter of Obadiah Wheeler, and this piece of misinformation has been repeated in several published works. [Note: Ruth and her sisters Sarah and Mary were all married on the same day, in what was possibly a triple wedding ceremony.] Samuel served in King Philip’s War under Captain Nicholas Manning of Ipswich, and was credited with 1 pound, 10 shillings pay on 24 June 1676 (NEHGR 42[1888]:95). Samuel married second, at Weston, the Rev. William Williams officiating, 5 May 1714 (WVR 3), REBECCA MEADS, who died at Concord, 23 January 1721/2 (CBMD 104). Rebecca’s birth date and parentage have not been found; she was possibly an unrecorded daughter of David and Hannah (Warren) Mead of Watertown. Samuel married third, at Chelmsford/Concord, 6 February 1723/4 (ChVR 245; CBMD 106), ELIZABETH FLETCHER, who died at Chelmsford, 4 October 1732 (ChVR 399), with no age or other clue to her identity given. HOA, apparently relying on a brief, early sketch of the Fletcher family (NEHGR 22[1874]:391), identified Elizabeth as the daughter born at Chelmsford, 10 December 1698 to Joshua and Grisel (Jewell) Fletcher. This identification is incorrect on several counts: 1) the Elizabeth Fletcher born this date was the daughter of Joshua and his second wife, Sarah Wiley/Wooley, Grisel having died in 1682; 2) Joshua and Sarah’s daughter Elizabeth married Joseph Keyes in 1720, and was still bearing him children in 1724; 3) it is virtually inconceivable, even in the early 1700s, that a woman would marry a man 53 years her senior. Winifred Lovering Holman, in her extensive typescript on Second Generation 19 the Fletcher family (NEHGS manuscript collection), provides a much more reasonable theory of Elizabeth’s identity, speculating that she was the daughter born at Concord, 16 December 1656, to Robert and Jane (Hildreth) Proctor. Elizabeth Proctor was the third wife and widow of Samuel3 Fletcher, who died at Chelmsford in October of 1723. Samuel Fletcher’s first wife was Hannah Wheeler, daughter of George and Catherine Wheeler, and thus a sister of Samuel Hartwell’s first wife, so the families would have been well acquainted. Moreover, papers in Samuel Fletcher’s probate file indicate that his widow Elizabeth was clearly upset by the prospect of living alone, so she probably welcomed a marriage proposal from the recently widowed Samuel Hartwell. Samuel, perhaps spurred by the death of his second wife the previous month, made his will 12 February 1721/2. He left all his “wearing apparall and husbandry tools” to sons Samuel, William, John and Jonathan; his staff or cane to son William; 10 shillings each to daughters Mary Parling, Hannah Hosmar, Abigail Childs, and Rebeckah Temple. All the remainder of his estate, both real and personal, was left to daughters Ruth, Elizabeth and Sarah Hartwell. Sons Samuel and William were named executors. The witnesses were Thomas Ball, Samuel Woolley and John Fox. The will was presented by the executors “with the consent of the widow” on 3 February 1725 (Middlesex Probate File 10586). Children, all by first wife, all born at Concord: +3.10 i. SAMUEL3 HARTWELL, b. 2 Oct 1666 (CBMD 12); m. (1) ABIGAIL STEARNS, (2) REBECCA (—), (3) MARGARET TOMPKINS, (4) EXPERIENCE TARBOX. +3.11 ii. MARY HARTWELL, b. 16 Feb 1667[/8] (CBMD 13); m. JOHN PARLIN. 3.12 iii. RUTH HARTWELL, b. 17 Oct 1669 (CBMD 14); d. Concord, before 15 Feb 1757, when her brother Jonathan Hartwell of Littleton, stating that he was “very aged” and “would rather not” administer Ruth’s estate, requested the judge of probate to appoint his son Josiah as administrator. Ruth’s estate was settled on her nephew Ephraim 20 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Hartwell of Lincoln, and this agreement was signed by Jonathan Parlin, Josiah Hartwell, Joseph Haywood, Stephen Hartwell and James Hosmer. Jonathan Hartwell and Rebecca Temple, “only living brother and sister” were each given 18 pounds, 16 shillings, 5a pence (Middlesex Probate File 10585). +3.13 iv.

(1) ca. 1695- 1700, DEBORAH THOMPSON, b. Billerica, 19 Sept 1676 (BVR 190), d. Bedford, 15 June 1744, in 68th yr (BVR 124), dau. of Joseph Thompson by his first wife, Mary Brackett. John m. (2) Bedford/Billerica, 3 Dec 1744 (BVR 80; BVR 266), MARY (BRACKETT) HILL, b. Billerica, 10 Feb 1680/1 (BVR 28), d. there before 1 June 1761, dau. of Peter and Elizabeth (Bosworth) Brackett, and widow of Jonathan Hill (see #2.5-ii below). John “had no children but adopted Hannah Carey. He accumulated a handsome competence, loaning money extensively, especially to his relatives, whose credit was good enough to enable them in many cases to secure two or three loans each” (HOA). In his will, written 14 May 1746, John gave his wife Mary five shillings, “she having had already a hundred pounds at least out of my estate.” In a complicated item, he requested the residue of his estate to be divided “equally” among the children of his brothers and sisters, but the exceptions to this item must have made his executors long for a calculator! He gave sisters Ruth and Elizabeth 20 pounds each; “Mary Manning of Woodstock, sister of my first wife,” was left his great Bible, and Hannah Cary “whom I brought up” [possibly the Hannah Corey born at Chelmsford in 1704/5] was left 30 pounds, a feather bed and bedding and a black chest. Lastly, William Bowes and Nicholas Second Generation 21

Bowes, sons of the Rev. Mr. Bowes of Bedford, were left six pounds apiece. Ensign John Hartwell of Concord and Timothy Hartwell of Bedford were named executors. Israel Putnam, Benjamin Kidder and Benjamin Putnam witnessed the will (Middlesex Probate File 10564). [Note: John’s first wife was unidentified in HOA, which stated that John’s bequest of his great Bible to Mary Manning was no help in establishing Deborah’s identity since it was not known if Manning was Mary’s maiden or married name. Torrey’s New England Marriages Before 1700 speculates, without explanation, that Deborah was an “Eiger.” Neither of these sources takes into account the qualifying phrase “of Woodstock” in John Hartwell’s bequest. This phrase was instrumental in identifying Deborah, since the only Mary Manning in Woodstock at the time John Hartwell made his will was Mary (Thompson) Manning, wife of Ephraim Manning (Geneal- ogies of Woodstock Families, 7:328). Mary, actually a half sister of Deborah, was b. Billerica 17 Nov 1691 (BVR 191), dau. of Joseph Thompson by his second wife, Mary Denison. Since Deborah’s mother, Mary (Brackett) Thompson, and Mary (Brackett) (Hill) Hartwell’s father, Peter Brackett, were both children of Richard and Alice (Blower) Brackett, John Hartwell not only married the widow of his first cousin, but his two wives were first cousins to each other.] +3.15 vi.

2.5 MARY2 HARTWELL (William1) died at Billerica, 12 February 1694/5 (BVR 368), and may well be the “Marthe” Hartwell whose birth was recorded at Concord 25th (2) 1649 [25 April 1649] (CBMD 5), although no proof of this theory has been found. Mary married at Billerica, 11 December 1666 (BVR 266), JONATHAN2 HILL, who was born at Woburn, 20 April 1646 (WB 119) and died intestate after 1717, son of Ralph Hill and his second wife, the widow Margaret (—) Toothaker (Donna Valley Russell, Ralph Hill of Plymouth and Billerica..., NGSQ 72[1984]:3-36).

On 26 Nov 1752, Mary Hartwell sued Isaac Farwell of Portsmouth, NH, to recover 41 pounds 10 shillings old tenor borrowed of her 9 June 1749. The court found for her on 17 Feb 1753 (Rockingham County, NH court records at NH Archives, Concord, NH). Widow Mary Hartwell, “being far advanced in years,” wrote her will 5 June 1757, mentioning “children of my son Jonathan Hill, deceased, viz: Jonathan, Mary (wife of Moses Abbott of Bedford) and Lydia; beloved son Peter Hill and his daughter Rachel; beloved daughter Mary, wife of Capt. Daniel Stickney of Billerica or her heirs; beloved daughter Elizabeth, wife of Francis Kidder of Sutton or her heirs; children of daughter Bethiah deceased, late the wife of Braviter Gray of Billerica, and her daughter Mary.” She named “beloved friend Deacon Ralph Hill of Billerica” to be executor of her estate (Middlesex Probate File 10579).

Nathaniel Dunton, Jr., son of the Nathaniel Dunton who died in 1718, was also married to a woman named Abigail, but since Nathaniel Jr. did not die until 1730, this Abigail is also not a candidate to be the wife of Samuel Hill.

Descendants of John2 and Priscilla (Wright) Hartwell

3.1 EBENEZER3 HARTWELL (John2, William1) was born at Concord 5 April 1666 (CBMD 12) and he died there before 27 October 1724, when his estate was inventoried by Isaac Patch, Jonathan Parling and Jonathan Lamson (Middlesex Probate File 10558). He married at Concord, 27 March 1690 (CBMD 32), SARAH SMEDLEY, who was born ca. 1670, and died at Concord, 13 No- vember 1715 (CBMD 87), eldest daughter of John2 (John1) and Sarah (Wheeler) Smedley (not John and Sarah (Smedley) Wheeler as in HOA). Ebenezer was appointed field driver (hayward) in the north quarter of Concord in 1696/7, 1702 and 1708, and fence viewer in 1700. On 28 February 1717 he was paid four shillings for “finding bell roap.” In a deed dated 3 June 1698, his father-in-law, John Smedley, conveyed several parcels of land in the northern part of Concord to his “eldest daughter Sarah, wife of Ebenezer Hartwell, who have both hitherto carried themselves Respectively and Lovingly towards me. . . .” It seems likely from the wording of this deed that Ebenezer and Sarah lived in the southern part of John Smedley’s house, which John apparently added on to in order to accommodate his daughter’s growing family. The house was close to the line which later divided Concord and Carlisle. Ebenezer left an estate valued at 520 pounds, 5 shillings and 4 pence, which was divided among his heirs; namely, eldest son John Hartwell, second son Ebenezer Hartwell, third son Samuel Hartwell, eldest daughter Sarah, wife of Jonathan Melvin, and youngest daughter Priscilla Hartwell, all of full age. The agreement, dated 12 February 1724/5, was witnessed by Isaac Patch and Jonathan Lampson; Samuel Hartwell was appointed administrator (Middlesex Probate File 10558). Children, all born at Concord: +4.1 i. JOHN4 HARTWELL, b. 12 April 1691 (CBMD 34); m. MARY PARLIN. 30 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

4.2 ii. PRISCILLA HARTWELL, b. 18 Dec 1692 (CBMD 38); d. Concord, 7 Jan 1692/3 (CBMD 56). +4.3 iii. SARAH HARTWELL, b. 28 July 1694 (CBMD 39); m. (1) JONATHAN MELVIN, (2) ELISHA SMITH. 4.4 iv. PRISCILLA HARTWELL, b. 27 Jan 1696/7 (CBMD 43); d. Concord, 20 Aug 1778, age 81y 6m 12d (CBMD 434; Gs:Hill Burying Ground). “Tradition says she was engaged to marry, but her lover, for cause not stated, went to Maine, turned hunter and hermit” (HOA). +4.5 v. EBENEZER HARTWELL, b. 22 March 1698/9 (CBMD 47); m. RACHEL FARNSWORTH. +4.6 vi. SAMUEL HARTWELL, b. 30 April 1702 (CBMD 53); m. (1) SARAH FARNSWORTH, (2) SARAH HOLDEN.

3.2 JOHN3 HARTWELL (John2, William1) was born at Concord, 15 April 1669 (CBMD 14) and his death record has not been found. He married at Concord, the Rev. Mr. Joseph Estabrook officiating, 1 June 1697 (CBMD 44), SARAH SHEPARD, who was born at Concord, 7.10.74, i.e., 7 December 1674 (CBMD 22), daughter of Abraham and Judith (Fillbrook) Shepard. On 4 May 1714, John sold the land in Concord “that he got from his father” to his brother Jonathan, “reserving free use for his father and mother-in-law” (Middlesex Deed 16:550). HOA says John “is chiefly noted as being the first of the family to pass beyond the limits of his native colony in search of a home, which he did in 1717, settling in Lebanon, Connecticut, buying a farm in the south part of the town on Sawmill River.” Unfortunately, no documentation is given for this statement. More research on this family might fill in some details of John and Sarah’s life. [Note: Connecticut’s Barbour Collection contains the following marriage record, “Thomas Perrin and Sary Hartwell were married at Hebron, 27 January 1742/3.” It has not yet been determined if this is a marriage record for a widowed Sarah (Shepard) Hartwell, making a second marriage, or that of an unrecorded daughter of John4 and Third Generation 31

Martha (—) Hartwell, making a first marriage. Further research in Connecticut deeds and probates is indicated.] Children, all born at Concord: 4.7 i. JOHN4 HARTWELL, b. 9 July 1698 (CBMD 45); possibly m. MARTHA (—). The only record so far found is the birth of a daughter, Mehitable, to John and Martha Hartwell at Lebanon, CT on 19 April 1720 (Barbour). As HOA points out, there is a possibility that Martha was a second wife of John3 Hartwell, although if the marriage of Thomas Perrin to Sary Hartwell refers to John4’s mother, this cannot be the case. 4.8 ii. SARAH HARTWELL, b. 28 July 1702 (CBMD 53); death record not found; m. Concord/Chelmsford, the Rev. John Whiting officiating, 16 April 1717 (CBMD 92: ChVR 245), JOHN GOLD/GOULD, probably the son of Samuel and Mehettebell (Barrett) Gould, b. Chelmsford, 24 Jan 1693 (ChVR 73). There seems to be no basis for HOA’s statement that Sarah married the son of Rev. Thomas Gould of Charlestown, who had seven children by a former wife, b. between 1697 and 1714. HOA admits “it is highly improbable that a mere girl of the age of Sarah, should, in those days, have married a man old enough to be her father.” We believe the above identification of Sarah’s husband is more likely. No further record of this couple has yet been found. +4.9 iii. MARY HARTWELL, b. 23 Dec 1705 (CBMD 64); m. GEORGE WOLCOTT. +4.10 iv. HEPHCIBETH [sic] HARTWELL, b. 27 Sept 1709 (CBMD 73); m. JOHN SPRAGUE. +4.11 v. PETER HARTWELL, b. 16 July 1712 (CBMD 79); m. (1) MARY COLEMAN, (2) JEAN LANGDON.

3.4 SARAH3 HARTWELL (John2, William1) was born at Concord, 12.2.1677 [12 April 1677] (CBMD 22) and her death record has not 32 Descendants of William1 Hartwell been found. [Note: A genealogy of Richard Rice of Concord (NEHGR 112[1958]:68) incorrectly accords her the death date of her brother Ebenezer’s wife.] Sarah married at Concord, Justice Minott officiating, 19 April 1698 (CBMD 46), EBENEZER LAMSON, almost certainly a son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Rice) Lamson, born probably at Charlestown, birth and death dates unknown (Rice Gen.; Lamson Gen.).

3.6 JOSEPH3 HARTWELL (John2, William1), was born at Concord, 24.11.80, i.e., 24 February 1681 (CBMD 24), and he died at Woburn, 14 November 1743, “in the 63rd year of his age” (WD 88; Gs:Woburn Burying Ground). He married at Woburn, 1 February 1706 (WM 125), RUHAMAH CUTTER, who was born probably at Cambridge, ca. 1678 and died at Woburn, 1 or 11 July 1756, age 78 (WD 88; Gs:Woburn Burying Ground), daughter of Richard and Frances (Perriman) (Amsden) Cutter. Joseph lived at the head of Mystic Pond which was at that time part of Woburn. He was chosen a deacon of the First Church of Woburn in 1736. Administration of his estate was granted to his widow and his son on 27 February 1743/4, and the inventory showed that he owned extensive property in both Charlestown and Woburn. The estate was divided among his heirs, namely, widow Ruhamah “Heartwell,” only son Joseph Hartwell, James Green, guardian for Jerusha Green, Samuel Wyman, and Seth Reed, guardian for Mary Hartwell (Middlesex Probate File 10570). Third Generation 35

Ruhamah Hartwell, widow of Charlestown, wrote her will 21 June 1756, giving bequests to her two daughters, Abigail Wyman and Mary Reed, and leaving the land she had purchased from Ebenezer Bradish to her son Joseph and her daughters. She gave a young horse to grandson Joseph Hartwell, and 1 pound, 6 shillings, 8 pence to granddaughter Jerusha Poole. Son-in-law Samuel Wyman was named executor, and the will was witnessed by John Cutter, Henry Putnam and Caleb Brooks (Middlesex Probate File 10584). Children, born as indicated: +4.12 i.

Descendants of John2 and Elizabeth (Wright) Hartwell

3.8 EDWARD3 HARTWELL (John2, William1), was born at Concord, 23 May 1689 (CBMD 30; HOA has Aug 1689), and he died at Lunenburg, 17 February 1785, age 96 (obit., New England Chronicle). He married at Lancaster, “between 1707 and 1712” (LBMD 274), SARAH3 WILDER, who was born at Lancaster, 22 January 1685 (LBMD 15) and died at Lunenburg, 7 August 1764, age 80 (ERL 345), daughter of Thomas2 ( Thomas1) and Mary (Houghton) Wilder. “Mrs. Sarah Hartwell” was admitted to the Church of Christ in Lancaster by John Prentice, 36 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Pastor, on 14 January 1710/11 (LBMD 397), indicating that the couple were married by that date. Torrey’s History of Fitchburg says Edward moved from Lancaster to Lunenburg about 1724, and his sale of land in Lancaster on 28 May 1723 to Simon Stevens, blacksmith, bears this out (Worcester County Deed 2:365). Edward was “an Original Proprietor of lot #37 in Lunenburg, and built the second dwelling house in the town. It stood on the Lancaster road, about 3½ miles from the center of the town. He was the second deacon chosen for the new church at Lunenburg, and was on the school committee in 1732, ‘33, ‘34, ‘41, ‘44, and ‘49. He was town treasurer in 1728 and 1732, selectman 1729-31 and 1738-41, 1743, ‘45, and ‘46. He was often representative, although there is no record of the years he was chosen. He was a Major of the militia, a Justice of the Peace, and in 1750 was appointed a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, which office he held until 1762. He was for many years the Clerk of the Original Proprietors, was a very fine penman, and wrote the original deed of every lot of land in the town, which then included the whole of the present city of Fitchburg, a large portion of Ashby and part of Townsend. He was not only one of the earliest settlers, but for a long period was deservedly one of the most influential men in town. He possessed a strong mind, and an education superior to that of most of his fellow townsmen. He was continually called upon to fill the most important offices in town. He was one of those men whose sound judgement and energy so well qualify them to take the lead in the affairs of a new settlement, when the influence of such persons is so essential to its prosperity. Whenever any important or extraordinary business was to be accomplished, he was called upon to take charge of it. In his capacity of Major, he took the lead in scouring the woods, when the people were alarmed by the movements of the Indians. ‘And finally he died’ as Whitney’s History says, ‘in the ninety-seventh year of his age, as full of piety as of days’” (Cunningham). The place where Edward was buried is not known, tradition being that he wished to be buried in the most private manner, as he feared that the Indians would disturb his grave. No probate records Third Generation 37 have been found for Edward. He evidently deeded all his property to his sons before his death. On 22 April 1761, Asahel received 38 acres of land “for diverse good causes and considerations” (Worcester Deeds 154:196). The next day, 23 April 1761, Edward was given 40 acres (Worcester Deeds 59:189). On 20 April 1762, “son Phinehas, for love, goodwill and affection” received 85 acres in Lunenburg, “which is his whole part and portion out of my estate” (Worcester Deeds 151:328). Joseph received “the homestead farm with all the buildings in the town of Lunenburg, land in Leominster, and the pew in the meeting house” in a deed dated 13 March 1781 (Worcester Deeds 100:338). Children, born at Lancaster and Lunenburg: 4.18 i. JONATHAN4 HARTWELL, bap. Lancaster, 18 Feb 1710/11 (LBMD 274); d. probably before 1719, when another son was given this name. +4.19 ii. SARAH HARTWELL, bap. Lancaster, 27 July 1712 (LBMD 274); m. (1) JACOB STILES, (2) STEPHEN BOYNTON. 4.20 iii. ASAHEL/ASAEL HARTWELL, bap. Lancaster, 21 March 1713/14 (LBMD 274); d. Lunenburg, 18 Dec 1803, age 89 (Cunningham; Gs:South Cemetery). Asael “was a justice of the peace, much employed in the settlement of estates; much given to jokes” (HOA). Cunningham says “he was Con- stable in 1748, selectman in 1755-59, and 1769.” He is probably the “Asa Hartwell” listed on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Lunenburg consisting of one male over 16 and one [unknown] female. In his simple will, dated 4 March 1793 and proved 16 Jan 1804, Asael left all his real estate to his nephew, Josiah Hartwell of Fitzwilliam, NH, now of Lunenburg. This bequest may have been influenced by the fact that Josiah had named his first-born son Asael. Josiah was named executor of the will, and Jonathan and Joseph Hartwell as “only relatives nearer than cousins,” agreed. The will was witnessed by Nathaniel Walker, Eleazer Hartwell and John Hartwell; the inventory was taken by Benjamin 38 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Kimball and Abraham Pierce (Worcester County Probate File A:27652). +4.21 iv. ELIZABETH HARTWELL, bap. Lancaster, 22 Jan 1715/16 (LBMD 275); m. (1) JOHN GIBSON, (2) JACOB GATES. +4.22 v.

PHINEAS HARTWELL, b. Lunenburg, 2 Jan 1731/2 (ERL 297); m. MARY PIERCE. [Note: HOA gives two more children: James, b. 1726 and William with no birth date. While there is room for these children to have been born between the two Josephs, no trace of either has yet been found.]

3.9 JONATHAN3 HARTWELL (John2, William1), was born at Concord, 15 February 1691/2 (CBMD 36) and he died at Littleton, 18 October 1778 (LVR 367; Gs:Old Common Burying Ground). He married first, at Watertown, 22 September 1713 (WVR 2:49), ELIZABETH BROWN, who was born at Concord, 8 March 1691/2 (CBMD 36) and died there 28 December 1717, age 25y 9m 20d (CBMD 29, 435; Gs: Main St. Burying Ground), daughter of Thomas and Ruth (Jones) Brown. [Note: Elizabeth’s is probably the oldest Hartwell gravestone still standing.] Jonathan married second, at Concord, 25 November 1718 (CBMD 97), SARAH WHEELER, who was born at Concord, 30 December 1697 (CBMD 44) and died at Littleton, 22 March 1748/9, Third Generation 39 age 50y 2m 23d (Gs: Old Common Burying Ground; also recorded in Littleton and Harvard VRs), daughter of Ensign Thomas and Sarah (Davis) Wheeler. Jonathan’s children are recorded successively in Concord, Chelmsford, and Westford, and his death is recorded in Littleton. He may not have moved that many times, however, since Chelmsford was made from Concord, and Westford from part of Chelmsford, so he may have lived in the part of the town that was continually broken off to form a new town. An early map of Westford shows his home in the western part of Westford, near the border with Littleton. Jonathan was a selectman of Westford in 1731, 1734 and 1747, and on the school committee in 1733 (History of Westford). On 8 March 1770, Jonathan Hartwell of Littleton purchased from Josiah Willard of Winchester, New Hampshire, land in Chester- field, NH (Rockingham County [NH] Deed 80:501), but he probably never lived on this land. Jonathan outlived all his sons, leaving no male heirs. In his will, written 14 February 1778, he left 5 shillings to “beloved granddaughter Sarah Hartwell, daughter of son Thomas, late of Littleton.” The rest of his estate, both real and personal, was left equally to beloved children, viz: Sarah Fletcher, widow of Major Daniel Fletcher, late of Acton; Betty Keyes, wife of Jonathan Keyes of Westford; Molly Hastings, wife of Josiah Hastings of Chester- field [NH]; and granddaughter Lois, “daughter of my son Oliver, late of Littleton, deceased.” Timothy Prescott was named sole executor and the will was witnessed by Thomas Read, Isaac Patch and Elijah Hildreth. Nathaniel Boynton, Thomas Read and Asa Bixby took the inventory on 26 January 1779 (Middlesex Probate File 10569). Children by first wife, Elizabeth Brown, born at Concord: 4.28 i.

Green, Three Military Dairies [Groton, MA, 1901]). Perhaps he never returned from this campaign, as he is not mentioned in his father’s will. Third Generation 41

Descendants of Samuel2 and Ruth (Wheeler) Hartwell

3.10 SAMUEL3 HARTWELL (Samuel2, William1), was born at Concord, 2 October 1666 (CBMD 12) and he died there, “husband to Experience his wife,” 27 November 1744, age 78y 2m (CBMD 159; Gs:Hill Burying Ground). He married first, at Concord, 23 November 1692 (CBMD 37), ABIGAIL3 STEARNS, who was born at Watertown, 14 June 1671 (IGI), and died at Concord, as a result of childbirth, 11 May 1709 (CBMD 70), daughter of Isaac2 (Isaac1) and Sarah (Beers) Stearns. Samuel married second, ca. 1710, REBECCA (—), who died at Concord 19 April 1714 (CBMD 85). He married third, at Salem, 29 May 1717 (SVR 3:472), MARGARETT TOMPKINS, who was born at Salem, 8 March 1672/3 (SVR 2:353) and died at Concord, 5 April 1723 (CBMD 104), daughter of John and Rebecka (Knights) Tompkins. [Note: Margaret was not a widow, as stated in HOA.] Samuel, called “Samuel Harpwell of Concord,” married fourth, at Lynn, 8 November 1725 (LVR 2:170), EXPERIENCE TARBOX, who was born at Lynn, 1 September 1679 (LVR 1:391), daughter of Samuel and Experience (Look) Tarbox. Other than the fact that she was living at the time of her husband’s death, no further record of Experience has been found. In 1694 Samuel bought of Richard Rice a part of the present Hartwell farm in Lincoln, and was living in that part of Concord in 1696 (HOA). On 5 August 1736, Samuel Hartwell, husbandman, Nathaniel Ball, trader, both of Concord, and John Morse of Cambridge, barber, gave bond for Samuel to administer the estate of his late wife Margaret Hartwell, formerly Margaret Tompkins. This estate consisted solely of a bond worth 20 pounds from her brother, Nathaniel Tompkins to herself (Middlesex Probate File 10578). Samuel wrote his will 20 February 1732/3 leaving “beloved wife Experience” one-half of all his estate. Eldest son Samuel Hartwell of Stoughton was left 40 pounds, as were the children of daughter Abigail Wheeler of Stoughton, deceased, son Joseph Hartwell of Stoughton, son Isaac Hartwell of Bedford, and daughter 42 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Lydia Shepard of Concord. Daughter Mary Cutler of Lexington was left 20 pounds. Son Ephraim was left all land in Concord, the dwelling house, etc., and the will was witnessed by William Wood, Peter Holden and Thomas Monroe (Middlesex Probate File 10587). Children, all by first wife Abigail Stearns, all born at Concord: +4.40 i. SAMUEL4 HARTWELL, b. 12 Nov 1693 (CBMD 38); m. HANNAH (—). +4.41 ii. ABIGAIL HARTWELL, b. 27 Nov 1695 (CBMD 41); m. WILLIAM WHEELER. +4.42 iii. JOSEPH HARTWELL, b. 11 Aug 1698 (CBMD 45); m. MARY (RICE) TOLMAN. +4.43 iv. MARY HARTWELL, b. 13 Jan 1700/1 (CBMD 50); m. BENJAMIN CUTLER. 4.44 v. ISAAC HARTWELL, b. 22 Nov 1703 (CBMD 60); d. Oxford, 6 Dec 1786 (OVR 285); m. (1) ca. 1730, ABIGAIL (TAYLOR) BACON, b. Concord, 8 March 1695/6 (CBMD 41), d. Bedford, 30 May 1733, in her 38th year (BVR 123; Gs:Old Burying Ground), dau. of Joseph and Ruth (Wooley) Taylor, and widow of Benjamin Bacon, by whom she had five children, born at Billerica. Isaac was “of Oxford” when he m. (2) at Reading, 20 Jan 1736/7 (OVR 176; RVR 362), MARY (THOMPSON) COWDREY, b. Woburn, 18 Aug 1703 (WB 255), d. Oxford, 14 Oct 1772, in her 70th yr (OVR 285), dau. of Jonathan and Frances (Whitmore) Thompson and widow of William Cowdrey. Mary evidently had no children, as her estate, consisting of land in Reading, Wilmington and Stoneham, was divided among her brothers and sisters, or their heirs (Middlesex Probate File 10580). [Note: Isaac’s second cousins, Ebenezer Lamson and Amos Lamson (see #3.4-i and #3.4-viii), married respectively, Patience Thompson and Esther Thompson, both apparently sisters of Mary (Thompson) Cowdrey.] Third Generation 43

Isaac m. (3) Oxford, 14 July 1773 (OVR 176), PHEBE (LOCKE) BREWER, b. Woburn, 15 Aug 1709 (WB 153), d. Ashby, before 19 Sept 1796 when her will was filed, dau. of James and Sarah (Cutter) Locke, and widow of Daniel Brewer. Daniel and Phebe were married 9 Sept 1731 and had at least two children, born in Weston. On 19 Sept 1796, John Jones testified that “Phebe Hartwell left no child within this Commonwealth but my wife” and requested that administration of Phebe’s estate be granted to Ralph Hill “who married a granddaughter of the deceased” (Middlesex Probate File 10583). Isaac Hartwell removed from Bedford, to Oxford in 1734, and was a large property owner there. According to HOA “he was a man of stern unbending character, deeply offended by the disposition made of his father’s property, and never to his dying day forgave his youngest brother Ephraim, on whom the property was settled by the court. . . . When the news of the fight at Concord in 1775 reached him, he took down his old musket and cleaned it for service, and was with great difficulty persuaded to abandon his intention of setting out for Cambridge to take an active part in the hostilities that followed.” In his will, written 18 Nov 1785 and proved 2 Jan 1787, Capt. Isaac Hartwell of the County Gore between Leicester and Oxford, left to his beloved wife Phebe 100 pounds lawful silver money, one of his best beds with furniture belonging thereto (two coverlids, 2 pair of sheets with ?acruit, curtings and vallants), improvement of one of the best lower rooms in my house, privilege in the cellar, etc. Isaac and Phebe had negotiated a marriage contract dated 25 June 1773, in which Phebe agreed to settle for 100 pounds from his estate, and she did not contest this agreement. Isaac left six shillings to his brother Ephraim “if he will come for it, it being all his portion as he had more property and privelege out of our 44 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

honored father’s estate than his three brethren, Samuel, Joseph and Isaac.” He willed a legacy left him by his father to the heirs of sister Lydia Shepard deceased, stating that she also “has had more than her sister or heirs of her sister deceased.” Also remembered in his will are his nephew Samuel Hartwell “that now lives with me, son of Jonas deceased.” Son-in-law (i.e., stepson) Samuel Bacon, brother Joseph and his heirs, brother Samuel deceased, heirs of sisters Abigail Wheeler deceased and Mary Cutler deceased, and nephew John Hartwell, son of brother Joseph were also remembered. The will was witnessed by Ebenezer Larned, Reuben Lamb and Silvanus Learned, and the inventory, taken by Ebenezer Learned Esq., Reuben Lamb of Oxford and Ezra Cary of Ward [now Auburn], showed an estate valued at 829 pounds, 14 shillings, and 1/2 pence (Worcester County Probate File A:27673). There is no evidence that Isaac ever had a son named Isaac, as mentioned by HOA. +4.45 vi. EPHRAIM HARTWELL, b. 14 Jan 1706/7 (CBMD 66); m. ELIZABETH HEYWOOD. +4.46 vii. LYDIA HARTWELL, b. 2 May 1709 (CBMD 72); m. JOHN SHEPARD.

3.11 MARY3 HARTWELL (Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 16 Feb 1667 (CBMD 13) and she died there 14 March 1738/9, age 71y 1m (CBMD 143). She married at Concord, Mr. Joseph Estabrook, minister, officiating, 1 November 1688 (CBMD 27), JOHN2 PARLIN, who was born at Cambridge, 31 March 1666 (CVR 1:542) and died at Concord, 24 February 1750, “age 84 or thereabout” (CBMD 415), son of Nicholas1 and Sarah (Hanmore) Parlin. John Parlin lived in the north part of Concord, “near unto Berry Corner,” where he owned considerable land (Parlin, Frank Edson, The Descendants of Nicholas Parlin of Cambridge, Mass. [1913], hereinafter, Parlin). Third Generation 45

[Note: HOA apparently confused Thomas with his brother, Jonathan, stating that Thomas died in 1793, age 90.] “Thomas and Ruth moved to Westford, ca. 1740, where Thomas was the first physician in that town. He served in the French and Indian war; went on the expedition against Ticonderoga; was in Capt. Leonard Whiting’s co., first battalion, and was in the hospital at Albany from 23 Nov to 3 Dec 1759, when he was discharged and soon after died” (HOA). Children, born as indicated: 1. Mary Meed, b.

3.13 WILLIAM3 HARTWELL (Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 19 August 1671 (CBMD 15), and he died at Bedford, 11 December 1742, in his 72nd year (BVR 123). He married, probably ca. 1702, RUTH (HOSMER?), who was born ca. 1675 and died a widow at Bedford, 7 or 17 February 1751/2, “in her 77th yr” (BVR 124). Although HOA suggests that Ruth was “either a WEBBER or a HOSMER,” the latter seems more likely. No Webbers have been found in the area this early, but a daughter of Stephen and Abigail (Wood) Hosmer, who is called “Bridget” in the town records and “Ruth” in the county copy of that record, was born at Concord, 28 August 1675 (CBMD 18), which matches well with the calculated birth date of William’s wife. This Bridget/Ruth Hosmer would be a grand-daughter of James and Alice (—) Hosmer, and a great- granddaughter of Stephen and Dorothy (Selden) Hosmer. Use of the names Stephen and Dorothy by William and Ruth Hartwell in naming their children is suggestive, as these names were not previously used in the Hartwell family, but were common among Hosmer progeny. In his will, dated 4 December 1742, William Hartwell bequeathed all his household goods and furniture, as well as two cows, to beloved wife Ruth. After Ruth’s death, the household goods and furniture were to go to daughters Ruth Bacon, Dorothy Arnall, and Mary Powers. Sons William, Daniel, Timothy, Stephen, and Joseph were all given bequests, and Daniel, Timothy, Stephen and Joseph were to be executors. The will was witnessed by Nicholas Bowes, John Meriam and William Raymond (Middlesex Probate File 10600). Third Generation 51

3.15 HANNAH3 HARTWELL (Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 8 October 1675 (CBMD 19) and she died there 5 January 1755 (CBMD 183). She married there, Justice Russell officiating, 18 February 1695/6 (CBMD 41), THOMAS3 HOSMER, who was born at Concord, 6 July 1672 (CBMD 16) and died there 2 November 1754 (CBMD 183), son of James2 (James1) and Sarah (White) Hosmer.

Concord 9 March 1702, but given Rebecca’s youth and the difference in their ages, this marriage may be between a different Rebecka and/or Ephraim.] Ephraim and Rebecca Wheeler and their children, Rebecca, Molly, Lois, Sarah, Oliver and Jesse “from Sudbury” were warned out of Princeton on 11 May 1766 (Worcester County Warnings, 52). 4. Mary Shevalley, b. 21 Dec 1726 (CBMD 116); m. ca. 1753 (CBMD 191 gives no date, but the listing is suggestive of a 1753/4 date), Robert Rozier. Although HOA says Robert d. in 1754, this seems unlikely in light of the fact that Robert and Mary Rozier and their children, John, Charles, Nathan and Molly were warned out of Princeton on 11 May 1766 (Worcester County Warnings, 52). 5. Sarah Shevalley, b. 12 Aug 1729 (CBMD 122); d. Concord, 13 Jan 1800, age 72 (CBMD 323); unmarried.

3.21 JONATHAN3 HARTWELL (Samuel2, William1) was born probably at Concord, ca. 1686 and he died at Littleton, 19 Decem- ber 1770, in the 84th year of his age (LVR 362; Gs:Old Common Burying Ground). He is the only one of Samuel and Ruth Hartwell’s children whose birth is not recorded in the Concord records, but he is mentioned in his father’s will. Care must be taken not to confuse this Jonathan with his first cousin Jonathan3, son of John2 Hartwell, since both Jonathans lived in the vicinity of Littleton. Jonathan married at Concord, Justice Minott presiding, 11 June 1713 (CBMD 83), HANNAH4 BLANCHARD, who was born at Woburn, 29 November 1690 (WB 21) and died at Littleton, 1 January 1763 (LVR 362), daughter of Thomas3 (John2, Joseph1) and Tabitha (Lepingwell) Blanchard. [Note: HOA incorrectly credits Jonathan with a second wife, who was actually the second wife of his son Josiah.] No probate records for Jonathan have been found in Middlesex County, but in 1757 he declined to administer the estate of his sister Ruth, stating that he was “very aged” and “would rather not” and requesting the judge of probate to appoint his son Josiah in his stead (Middlesex Probate File 10585).

4.1 JOHN4 HARTWELL (Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 12 April 1691 (CBMD 34) and he died there 20 December 1780, age 89y 7m 27d (CBMD 434; Gs:Hill Burying Ground). He married, ca. 1717, his second cousin, MARY PARLIN, who was born at Concord, 8 October 1692 (CBMD 37) and died there 5 March 1774, age 81y 4m (CBMD 434; Gs:Hill Burying Ground), daughter of John and Mary3 (Hartwell) Parlin (see #3.11-ii). John, a man of gigantic strength, was a schoolteacher for several years between 1733 and 1738, tithingman, highway surveyor, ensign of militia before 1741, selectman of Concord, and district clerk of Carlisle when it was first set off from Concord in 1754. About 1715, he built a handsome saltbox house on the Concord/Carlisle line (see illustration, below) that stood until March of 1956, when it was lost to a fire.

John4 Hartwell’s Saltbox House on the Concord/Carlisle line.

John wrote his will 3 January 1756, “being very sick and week [sic] in body, but of Perfect mind and memory, Thanks be given to 72 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

God therefor,” and mentioned beloved wife Mary, sons Simon and David, daughters Mary Hartwell and Sarah Merriam (Middlesex Probate File 10565). He apparently made a remarkable recovery from the illness that caused him to make his will, because he lived nearly 25 more years. Children, all born at Concord: 5.1 i. JOHN5 HARTWELL, b. 8 Jan 1718 (CBMD 95); d. Concord, 8 Aug 1741, age 22y 7m (CBMD 432; Gs:Hill Burying Ground). 5.2 ii. MARY HARTWELL, b. 31 Dec 1720 (CBMD 100); unmarried when her father wrote his will in 1756; n.f.r. +5.3 iii. SIMON HARTWELL, b. 28 Sept 1722 (CBMD 107); m. MARY WOOLEY. +5.4 iv.

4.3 SARAH4 HARTWELL (Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 28 July 1694 (CBMD 39) and she died at Worcester, sometime prior to 26 January 1769, the date her will was presented for probate. She married first, at Concord, Justice Minott officiating, 28 February 1714[/5] (CBMD 87), JONATHAN MELVIN (not John as in HOA), who was born at Charlestown, 29 May 1688 (ChVR 138) and died at Concord, 11 February 1737, “in the 49th year of his age” (CBMD 432; Gs:Hill Burying Ground), son of John and Hannah (Lewis) Melvin. Jonathan and Sarah “lived on a farm adjoining her brother John, on the south” (HOA). Jonathan Melvin wrote his will 26 May 1736, giving 208 acres of land in Dunstable that he had purchased from David Raymond to sons Jonathan, John and Ebenezer, with Jonathan, as eldest, to have twice as much as the other two. He left his lands in Concord and Acton to sons Josiah, Nathan and Amos, with Josiah to have ½ the house. Since these sons were all under age, wife Sarah was to be the executor. Daughter Sarah Barnes was Fourth Generation 73 left 90 pounds, and wife Sarah received all the household goods, and a negro servant called Rose who was 4 years old. He left his guns to John and Jonathan and his sword to Ebenezer. Some of the estate was distributed in 1748, with Sarah Smith of Worcester, Josiah, Nathan and Amos signing this document (Middlesex Probate File 15036). On 29 August 1747, Nathan and Amos chose Abishai Brown of Concord to be their guardian, and Abishai Brown, innholder, and Timothy Wesson, housewright, gave bond for Nathan in his 18th and Amos in his 16th year (Middlesex Probate File 10537). Sarah married second, at Concord/Worcester, Justice Flint officiating, 12 August 1741 (CBMD 152; WVR 388), as his second (or third?) wife, ELISHA SMITH of Worcester. Elisha, the son of John and Jane (Peabody) Smith, was born at Watertown, 11 January 1691[/2] (WVR 1:64) and died at Worcester between 29 July 1765, the date he wrote his will, and 19 February 1766, the date the will was presented for probate (Worcester Probate File A:54148). Elisha was the father of eight children by his first wife, PATIENCE BROWN, whom he married at Weston, 25 March 1713[/14]. His will provides handsomely for his “beloved wife Sarah,” but makes no mention of any of her children. In her very simple will, Sarah Smith left all her wearing apparel to her daughter Sarah Barnes, with the remainder of her estate to be equally divided between her four sons, John, Ebenezer, Josiah and Nathan Melvin, with son John being named executor (Worcester County Probate File A:54715). Children, all by first husband, all born at Concord: i. SARAH MELVIN, b. 23 June 1716 (CBMD 87); living in 1769 when she is mentioned in her mother’s will; m. Concord, 18 March 1735/6 (CBMD 132), JOSEPH BARNES, perhaps the son of Joseph and Hannah (Boynton) Barnes, b. Bradford, 11 June 1713 (BVR 19), although this is not proved for certain. Joseph died at Concord before 22 Oct 1759, when “Joseph Lee of Concord, physician, Jonathan Kitteridge of Tewksbury, yeoman, and Samuel Meed of Harvard” gave bond to administer Joseph’s insolvent 74 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

estate. Widow Sarah Barns was given her widow’s thirds, but no children are mentioned in the probate file (Middlesex Probate File 1109). Children, born as indicated: 1. Joseph Barns, b. Acton, 16 March 1736/7 (AVR 16); m. ca. 1763, Sarah (Melvin?) (see Note, below). 2. Sarah Barns, b. Acton, 25 July 1738 (AVR 16); perhaps m. (int.) Acton, 15 June 1767 (AVR 132), David Fish of Westford. 3. John Barns, b. Acton, 8 Sept 1740 (AVR 16); n.f.r. 4. Hannah Barns, b. Acton, 29 April 1742 (AVR 16); perhaps m. James Spaulding, Jr. of Westford. 5. Jonathan Barns, b. Concord, 19 May 1744 (CBMD 165); n.f.r. 6. Josiah Barns, b. Concord, 11 June 1746 (CBMD 168); d. there 8 April 1809, age 64 (CBMD 330); m. Townsend, 11 Dec 1783 (TVR 25), Lucy Hildreth, b. Townsend, 14 Oct 1758 (TVR 213), dau. of Oliver and Anna (—) Hildreth. 7. Betty Barns, b. Acton, 29 July 1748 (AVR 16); n.f.r. 8. Lucy Barns, b. Acton, 14 May 1750 (AVR 16); n.f.r. 9. Mary Barns, b. Groton, 21 April 1754 (GVR 1:21); d. the same day (GVR 2:199). 10. Molly Barns, b. Groton, 9 April 1755 (GVR 1:21); n.f.r. 11. Amos Barnes, b.

Since Joseph Barnes d. ca. 1759, it is more likely that these Fourth Generation 75

children belong to son Joseph, whose marriage record has not been found.] ii. JONATHAN MELVIN, b. 12 Oct 1718 (CBMD 95); d. prob. before 1766, as he is not mentioned in his mother’s will. As seen above, he was bequeathed 104 acres of land in Dunstable per his father’s will. He is almost certainly the Jonathan Melvin who signed a petition dated Dunstable, 18 June 1744, requesting six garrisons and 25 soldiers to be sent to the area for protection. Among other signers of this petition were William Hartwell (see #4.47), Benjamin Parker (perhaps #2.1-1-3) and Samuel Parker (Samuel T. Worcester, History of the Town of Hollis, NH from its first settlement to the Year 1879). Jonathan married at Hollis, NH, 4 Dec 1750 (NH VRs), MARY BROOKS, probably the dau. of Benjamin and Sarah (Haywood) Brooks b. Concord, 24 July 1734 (CBMD 137). (Benjamin and Sarah moved from Concord to Townsend.) Mary (Brooks) Melvin prob. m.

4.5 EBENEZER4 HARTWELL (Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 22 March 1698/9 (CBMD 47) and he died at Groton, -- 80 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

May 1739 (Middlesex Probate File 10559). He married at Groton, 4 August 1727 (GVR 2:82), RACHEL3 FARNSWORTH, who was born there 8 December 1704 (GVR 1:79) and died probably on or about 12 February 1765, daughter of John2 (Matthias1) and Hannah (Aldis) Farnsworth. Ebenezer “being sick and weak in body, but of perfect mind and memory” wrote his will 5 March 1738[/9], making “dearly beloved wife Rachel” his sole executrix, and providing for his son Ebenezer and the child that Rachel was “now big with.” The will was witnessed by Phinehas Wait, Benjamin Stone and William Lawrence; Rachel and Nathaniel Russell of Littleton gave bond 3 July 1739. Rachel did not long remain a widow, marrying second, at Littleton, 17 June 1740 (LVR 92), Dr. BENJAMIN CHASE, who was born at Newbury, 21 June 1717 (NVR 87) and died of smallpox at Kent, Connecticut, 14 April 1778 (John Carroll Chase and George Walter Chamberlain, Seven Generations of the descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase [1928], hereinafter Chase), son of Joseph and Abigail (Thurston) Chase. Benjamin and Rachel had five sons recorded at Groton: 1. Benjamin Chase, b. 1 October 1741; 2. Solomon Chase, b. 8 September 1743; 3. Ebenezer Chase, b. 4 June 1745; 4. John Chase, b. 4 September 1747, d. 1 October 1749; 5. John Chase (again), b. 12 February 1749[/50]. According to Chase, Benjamin divorced Rachel on 12 February 1765 and married second, at Amenia, New York, 15 May 1766, MARY DAY/DAYTON of New Milford, CT, by whom he had two more children. It seems more likely that the date given for this divorce is actually Rachel’s death date. Dr. Benjamin Chase of Kent, Connecticut, “in perfect health” made his will 15 May 1770, leaving his wife Mary the use of his estate until his son Stephen reached the age of 21. To sons [by Rachel], Benjamin, Solomon and John he left 5 shillings each (Donna Valley Russell, Sharon, CT Probate Records, 1757-1783). Children, born at Groton: +5.6 i.

4.6 SAMUEL4 HARTWELL (Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 30 April 1702 (CBMD 53) and he died at Groton, 26 May 1782, in the 81st year of his age (son’s diary). He married first, ca. 1728, “in the 26th year of his age” (HOA), SARAH3 FARNSWORTH, who was born at Groton, 20 November 1707 (GVR 1:79) and died ca. 1732 (HOA; Farnsworth), daughter of John2 (Matthias1) and Hannah (Aldis) Farnsworth, and sister of his brother Ebenezer’s wife. Samuel married second, at Groton, 9 June 1737 (GVR 2:83), SARAH HOLDEN, who was born there 5 September 1717 (GVR 1:117), and died 5 March 1798 (diary), daughter of John and Sarah (Davis) Holden. Samuel, “being aged and weak in body,” made his will 4 January 1773, and although he was to live nine more years, he did not update this will. He left well beloved wife Sarah all his estate until “beloved son Samuel, now in 12th yr of his age,” reached the age of 21. He left 3 pounds, 6 shillings and 8 pence to daughters Sarah Shattuck and Priscilla Green, while Hannah Hartwell and Lois Hartwell each received 6 pounds, 13 shillings, 4 pence. Grand- daughter Rachel Shattuck (then five years old) was given his Bible (Middlesex Probate File 10588). Children by first wife, born at Groton: 5.8 i.

Mr. Hull Abbott officiating, 6 July 1727 (ChVR 298; MVR 238), JAMES GREEN, who was born at Malden, 22 Novem- ber 1702 (MVR 32) and died at Mansfield, 21 August 1779 (MVR 195), son of Samuel and Martha (Green) Green. After Ruhamah’s death, James married second, at Cambridge, 20 March 1734/5 (CVR 2:171), DEBORAH BROWN, by whom he had several more children. James “was a selectman, removed in 1751 to Mansfield” (HOA). Fourth Generation 89

4.14 JOSEPH4 HARTWELL (Joseph3, John2, William1) was born at Charlestown, 15 August 1712 [ChVR 236] and he died before 21 May 1759, when administration of his estate was granted to Hannah Hartwell, Henry Putnam and Thomas Hutchinson (Middlesex Probate File 10572; Charlestown Genealogies and Estates, 479). Joseph was “of Woburn” when he married at Concord, Justice Flint officiating, 21 September 1738 (CBMD 145; WM 125), HANNAH REED. Hannah was born at Woburn, 27 August 1720 [WB 205], and died at Arlington, 31 January 1776 [AVR5 148], daughter of Israel and Hannah (Wyman) Reed. [Note: HOA’s assertion that Joseph “prob. m. (1) LYDIA (—) who d. 15 Nov 1732 in her 19th year” has not been verified, and seems unlikely.] Joseph participated in the French & Indian Wars as a private in Samuel Clarke’s Co. in the Crown Point Campaign, 15 Septem- ber 1755 to 16 December 1755 (Mass. Archives Vol. 94A), and later he was a private in Thomas Hartwell’s Co., Bagley’s Regt. at Fort William, where he was reported “present & Fit” in October 1756 (Mass.

4.17 MARY4 HARTWELL (Joseph3, John2, William1) was born ca. 1723, as she was in her 21st year on 19 November 1744 when she chose Seth Reed to be her guardian. Seth Reed, yeoman of Charlestown, and Samuel Gookin, gentleman of Cambridge, stood bond (Middlesex Probate File 10571). HOA incorrectly claims that Mary, “with an eye to the main chance,” chose Israel Reed, father of her future husband, as her guardian. While this makes a good story, it is not the case. Seth Reed, son of Daniel and Susanna (—) Reed, was born at Woburn, 23 March 1705 and was living in Charlestown with his wife, Lydia (Cutter) Reed, when Mary chose him as her guardian; the reasons for her choice have not been determined. Mary married at Charlestown (int.) 9 November 1745 (ChVR 471), ISRAEL REED, who was born at Woburn, 16 November 1722 (WB 205) and died there 5 July 1792, age 70 years (WB 154), son of Israel and Hannah (Wyman) Reed. Israel Reed is shown on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Woburn Fourth Generation 93 consisting of one male over 16 and two females, so Mary may have been still living at that time. Known child: i. ISRAEL REED, b. Woburn, 16 June 1747; d. Alstead, NH, before 20 Dec 1815, when administration on his estate was granted to widow Marcy Reed (Cheshire Co. [NH] Probate File 127).

Harvard, 21 Oct 1764 (HVR 31), death record not found, dau. of Jonas and Elizabeth (Cheney) Davis. Israel Reed is shown on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Littleton consisting of three males over 16, one male under 16 and eight females; he is no doubt the Israel Reed shown on the 1800 Federal Census residing in “Worchester” Co., with a family consisting of three males under 10, one male 10-16, one male over 45, two females 10-16 and one female 26-45. He was “of Athol, Worcester Co., MA” when he purchased land in Alstead, NH from John Chandler on 2 Feb 1802 (Cheshire Co. [NH] Deed 39:233). Children by first wife, all born at Littleton (LVR 160): 1. Israel Reed, b. 19 Dec 1768; d. Harvard, of smallpox, 19 March 1822, age 54y (Gs:Harvard Center Cemetery); m.

4.21 ELIZABETH4 HARTWELL (Edward3, John2, William1) was baptized at Lancaster, 22 January 1715/16 (LBMD 275) and is undoubtedly the “Widow _____ of _____ Gates” who died at Harvard, 1 February 1792 (HVR 271).

John Gibson “was a man of gigantic size and strength, and held an important place in public affairs–surveyor of highways 1736, 1742 and 1754, constable 1741, tithingman 1744, selectman 1747, 1748, 1751-1753, school committee 1748, 1754 and 1756, moderator at town meetings 1753 and 1757, captain of militia, probably chosen prior to 4 March 1754. He served also on various temporary committees—in 1745 ‘to repair the old meeting House,’ the church which he and Elizabeth had joined 3 August 1740, and in 1761, only a few months before his death, one of three ‘to Enquire into the Bounds of the Buring [sic] yard’” (Gibson Genealogy).

His death after a long pastorate of 52 years was greatly lamented by the parish and town, and his remains were interred in Leominster cemetery “with every mark of respect due to so venerable and highly esteemed a divine” (Gibson).

4.22 EDWARD4 HARTWELL (Edward3, John2, William1) was baptized at Lancaster, 29 September 1717 (LBMD 275) and he died at Lunenburg, 4 January 1799, age 82 (Cunningham). Although Cunningham indicates that Edward is buried in Lunenburg’s South Cemetery, there seems to be no documentation of this in either the cemetery or its records. He may have been living in Fitchburg with his son Thomas at the time of his death. Edward married at Lunenburg, Rev. Mr. David Stearns officiating, 7 August 1739 (ERL 251), ELIZABETH KNEELAND, who was born ca. 1719 and died at Alstead, New Hampshire, 1 October 1805 (Gs:North Cemetery, East Alstead), age 86 (Columbian Centinal of 10/30/1805). She was perhaps the EK born at Boston, 17 February 1719 (BRC 21), daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Smith) Kneeland, although positive proof of this has not been found. Edward and Elizabeth were admitted to the church in Lunenburg 24 August 1740, and Edward was on the school committee in 1755 and 1757 (Cunningham). In a deed dated 23 April 1761 and filed 16 August 1768, Edward received from his father, for “diverse good will and affection which I have and do bear towards my loving son” 40 acres on the west side of the town road, “which is his full part and portion out of my estate with what he had already” (Worcester County Deed 59:189). Children, all born at Lunenburg (ERL 297-8): 5.30 i. THOMAS5 HARTWELL, b. 5 June 1740 (not 5 Jan 1740/1 as in HOA); bap. 24 Aug 1740 (Cunningham); d. Alstead, NH, 9 Nov 1820 “Major . . . in 81st yr” (Gs:North Cemetery, East Alstead); m. Lunenburg, 9 May 1765 (Cunningham), PRUDENCE CARTER, b. Lunenburg, 15 June 1746 (ERL 280), d. East Alstead, NH, 29 Jan 1818, age 72 (Gs:North Cemetery), dau. of Thomas and Bette (Sawyer) Carter. Thomas had a distinguished Revolutionary career, beginning as a Private in Capt. Ebenezer Woods’s co. of Minute-men which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775, and ending with the rank of Major. He is listed on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Fitchburg consisting of two males over 16 and three Fourth Generation 105

females, indicating that perhaps his parents and an unmarried sister may have been living with him at that time. He was called “gentleman . . . of Fitchburg” as late as 1792, when he sold land there (Worcester County Deed 112:145), so he apparently did not move to Alstead until after that date. No recorded children. 5.31 ii. SOLOMON HARTWELL, b. 2 Dec 1741 (not in HOA); d. Lunenburg, 1 Jan 1741/2, age 30 days (ERL 345; Gs:South Cemetery). 5.32 iii. ELIZABETH HARTWELL, b. 5 Dec 1742; death record not found. She was “of Ward” [now Auburn, MA] when she m. at Sutton, 8 May 1780 (SVR 70; also recorded at Auburn and Princeton), JAMES ARCH of Princeton. According to HOA, James Arch was “one of Burgoyne’s soldiers, of Irish birth, escaped from camp in Cambridge, removed to Alstead, NH, settled on the north side of Arch’s pond.” Why Elizabeth is called “of Ward” on her marriage record when none of her family lived in that place, and why Cunningham’s History of Lunenburg (giving Z[abdiel] A[dams] as his authority) states that she married 16 Oct 1769, William Bourk/Burk of Lancaster, are unanswered questions. Correspondence with Harry Arch of Bedfordshire, England (who is researching the ARCH family) has revealed that James Arch enlisted at Wexford, Ireland, 3 May 1775, in the 24th Regt. of Foot, when he was noted as being English. He participated in the 2nd battle of Saratoga on 17 Oct 1777, and was naturalized at Princeton, 24 Jan 1780. Alstead legend has it that James, with three other men, deserted from Burgoyne’s army, then stationed in New York, and made their way through the wilds of Vermont to Alstead. Along the route from Vermont, they took shelter in a deserted farmhouse that was searched by British soldiers. James hid behind the door as the British entered, escaping while the British 106 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

killed his two companions (Marion Nicholl Rawson, New Hampshire Borns a Town). A prosiac, but more likely, explanation is that James was taken prisoner after the battle of Saratoga and brought to Rutland, which was the site of a large POW camp. As winter was approaching, the Americans decided to transfer the POW’s to a camp at Cambridge, where it would be less difficult to keep them warm. During this transfer, at least 300 British soldiers “escaped.” Many of the British had no really firm allegiance to England’s war against the Americans, and the Americans, in turn, seem to have accepted these “deserters” into their new commu- nities as equals. In some cases, the Americans may have even facilitated the “desertion.” James Arch probably met the Hartwell family through Thomas or one of his brothers, all of whom served in the Revolution. The Alstead legend that James took shelter in the house of Thomas, and subsequently married Thomas’ sister Elizabeth, is without foundation, as Thomas apparently did not move to Alstead until 1792, and Elizabeth was his sister, not his daughter. James Arch is shown on the 1790 federal census for Alstead, NH with one male over 16 (probably himself), one male under 16 (Edward Savage, son of Lydia Hartwell) and one female (wife Elizabeth). James and Elizabeth had no children, but apparently reared Lydia’s child. 5.33 iv. MARY HARTWELL, b. 22 Oct 1744 (not in HOA); d.

4.23 JONATHAN4 HARTWELL (Edward3, John2, William1) was baptized at Lancaster, 29 November 1719 (LBMD 276; HOA says b. 21 September 1719) and he died at Lunenburg, 11 July 1816 (Cunningham). He married at Lunenburg, Rev. Mr. David Stearns officiating, 3 December 1745 (ERL 251), ELIZABETH TARBELL, who was born at Groton, 13 April 1729 (GVR 1:138) and died at Lunenburg, 20 October 1819, age 90y 6m 7d (Cunningham), daughter of Eleazer and Elizabeth (Bowers) Tarbell. Jonathan was a farmer in Lunenburg. He is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Lunenburg consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16, and three females.

In his will, written 21 Dec 1818 and allowed 1 April 1834, Caleb left all his property to beloved wife Eunice, with nephew James Wood as executor and resid- ual legatee (Worcester County Probate File A:66863). The inventory of his estate shows that Caleb received a pension for his service in the Revolution. No recorded children. +5.48 vii. SUSANNA HARTWELL, b. 22 Sept 1763; m. ABEL STEARNS. 5.49 viii.

[?]WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. ca. 1769; d. Lunenburg, 31 Aug 1805, age 36 (Gs:South Cemetery). Perhaps the William Hartwell attributed by HOA to Joseph and Tabitha (Dodge), who was described as being “feeble in mind and body.”

4.25 JOSEPH4 HARTWELL (Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 14 May 1727 (ERL 297), and he died there 8 April 1807 (DARPI). He married first at Lunenburg, his father, Esquire Edward Hartwell, officiating, 22 September 1747 (ERL 252), TABITHA DODGE, who was born at Wenham, 1 January 1726 (WVR 30) and died at Lunenburg 25 April 1756 (ERL 345; not 11 April 1754 as in HOA), daughter of Josiah and Prudence (Dodge) Dodge. Fourth Generation 109

Joseph, called “Josiah of Lunenburg,” married second, at Reading/Wakefield, 9 February 1757 (RVR 362; WVR 198), as her second husband, PHEBE (EATON) HART, who was born at Reading, 1 August 1731 (RVR 79) and died at Lunenburg 15 September 1817 (Gs:South Cemetery), daughter of Noah3 (Jonathan2, Jonas1) and Phebe (Lilley) Eaton. Phebe was the widow of THOMAS HART of Lynn, whom she married 24 August 1749 (RVR 328). [Note: Phebe had at least one child, Rebecca, by Thomas Hart. Rebecca Hart married at Leominster, Benjamin Daby, and they named a child Joseph Hartwell Daby in honor of Rebecca’s step-father.] Joseph was a “Private [in] Capt. George Kimball’s co., which marched 20 April 1775, in response to the alarm of 19 April 1775; service 3 days; also, petition endorsed 21 September 1778, signed by said Hartwell and William Clark, of Lunenburg, stating that they were drafted, one from the militia, the other from the alarm list, ‘last year,’ to serve at the Northward against Gen. Burgoyne, which service they performed, but having been omitted from the pay roll by mistake of their Captain, they had not received the pay and mileage due them, and asking that their case be given consideration; also, warrant dated Council Chamber, 13 October 1778, drawn in favor of said Hartwell and William Clarke for wages for service at Bennington, they having been omitted from Capt. Bellows’s roll by mistake” (MSSR). Joseph “was a farmer in Lunenburg, an influential citizen and held most town offices” (HOA). In a deed dated 13 March 1781 and filed 23 June 1786, his father, Edward, for “diverse good causes and considerations,” gave Joseph the 57 acres comprising his homestead farm with all the buildings in the town of Lunenburg, as well as land in Leominster and the pew in the meeting house (Worcester County Deeds 100:338). He is shown on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Lunenburg consisting of three males over 16, one male under 16, and three females. In his will, written 9 March 1792 and proved 19 May 1807, Joseph left one-third of his real estate and all household goods to beloved wife, Phebe; 5 shillings to son Josiah “as his full part and 110 Descendants of William1 Hartwell portion, he having his time in learning a trade;” 5 shillings “with what I have given her before” to daughters Prudence Kendall and Ruth Kneeland; 10 pounds or “his full part and portion” to son William; 10 pounds each to sons Benjamin, Reuben and Jacob; one-half the household goods “at her mother’s decease together with what I gave her before” to daughter Tabitha Tyler; youngest daughter Catherine was to have “10 pounds at marriage and as long as unmarried, convenient house room in my house and ½ the household goods on her mother’s decease.” Son John was given all real estate in Lunenburg and Leominster, one-half the pew in the meeting house and all husbandry tools. Other personal estate went to sons Benjamin, Reuben and Jacob; with Benjamin and John being named sole executors. A codicil dated 21 August 1800 gave Catherine, “now married, equal portion as Tabitha Tyler’s.” The will was witnessed by Moses Tyler, John P. Heywood and Nathan Adams, Jr., and the inventory, dated 28 May 1807 and taken by Moses Tyler, John P. Heywood and Elijah Fairbanks, showed an estate valued at $2,865.17.40 [sic] (Worcester County Probate File A:27683). Children by Tabitha Dodge, all born at Lunenburg (ERL 298): +5.51 i.

4.27 PHINEAS4 HARTWELL (Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 2 January 1731/2 (ERL 297), and he died at Fitchburg, Friday, 18 March 1803 “in the 72nd year of his age” (ORF 2:317). He married at Lunenburg, his father Esquire Edward Hartwell officiating, 28 November 1754 (ERL 252), MARY PEIRCE, who was born at Lunenburg 5 March 1733/4 (ERL 313) and died at Westminster, 28 June 1819, age 95 [sic] (WVR 228), daughter of Ephraim and Esther (Shed) Peirce. Phineas “removed to Fitchburg about 1766, settling on the Hill place, where the Scott Reservoir since stands; was a leading man in town affairs the rest of his life, covering an important period in the history and development of the town and state” (HOA). Phineas is listed on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Fitchburg consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16, and four females. He was town clerk of Fitchburg for many years, recording the births of most of his own children. Phineas wrote his will 4 March 1803, leaving wife Mary 1/3 of his estate, and sons Ephraim and Phineas, Jr. (who were named as joint executors) all his real and personal estate. Son Abijah received $80; dau. Molly Flint, $44.53; dau. Esther Whitney, $46; dau. Relief Gibson, $18.25; dau. Elizabeth Phelps, $44.57. Son Phineas was to support dau. Prudence Hartwell during her natural life. The will was witnessed by Abraham Farewell, Stephen Thurston and 112 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Peter Snow, and approved 10 May 1803, despite the fact that Samuel Phelps appealed the will on behalf of his wife and the other heirs (Worcester County Probate File A:27705). Mary Hartwell wrote her will 29 May 1809, leaving all her personal estate and household furnishings to be equally divided among her four daughters: Molly Flint, Esther Whitney, Relief Gibson, and Elizabeth Phelps, and stating that her three sons, Abijah, Ephraim, and Phineas had already had their full share (Worcester County Probate File A:27697).

Hananiah deposed 2 May 1815 that all of Alpheus’s property consisted of [first], “a bond made by Phineas Hartwell to the said Alpheus on the 30th day of April 1807 in the sum of seventy two hundred dollars conditioned for the support of the said Alpheus and his wife and second, by a mortgage deed of certain lands as will appear by the record of said deed in the clerk’s office book 168, page 439” (Worcester County Probate File A:64709).

Descendants of Jonathan3 & Sarah (Wheeler) Hartwell

4.32 SARAH4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, John2, William1) was born at Chelmsford, 22 September 1723 (CVR 76) and she died, probably at Bolton, before 11 October 1787, when William Baker gave bond to administer her estate (Middlesex Probate File 7932). She married at Acton/Westford, 12 November 1741 (AVR 176; WVR 163), DANIEL5 F LETCHER, who was born at Concord, 18 October 1718 (CBMD 95) and died at Acton, 15 December 1776, in his 59th year (AVR 267; Gs:Woodlawn Cemetery), son of Joseph4 (Samuel3, Francis2, Robert1) and Hephzibah (Chandler) (Jones) Fletcher. Daniel was a blacksmith and a cooper. He served in the French and Indian War (1755-1763) as a Captain, and was at Crown Point in 1755, the Canada Expedition in 1758, and Nova Scotia in 1760. In 1768 he represented Acton in a committee at the General Court and in 1772 was a member of a committee of public affairs for that town. He served as a major in Col. Jonathan Reed’s regiment of Massachusetts militia; list of field officers of regiments to be raised for service at Quebec and New York (MS&S). His gravestone is inscribed: ‘Tis danger great he has gone through From en’mies hands his God him drew When fighting for that noble cause His Country and its famous laws.

4.34 THOMAS4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, John2, William1) was born at Chelmsford, 6 March 1726/7 (ChVR 76) and he died before February 1758, when he is listed as deceased in the record of his daughter’s birth (LVR 73). During the French & Indian War, Thomas Hartwell was a Captain in Bagley’s Regiment, sent to Fort William Henry (Mass. Archives, Vol. 948). In October 1756, he was reported “present and fit,” but he seems the most likely candidate to be the “_____ Hartwell, Capt. of the Massachusetts forces at Fort Edward, Lake George,” whose death on 23 July 1757 was reported in both the Gazette and the Newsletter (Index of Obituaries in Boston Newspapers, 1704-1800). 120 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Thomas married at Littleton, 26 April 1757 (LVR 86), MARY4 H OAR, who was born at Littleton, 18 July 1731 (LVR 22) and died there 17 April 1793, age 62 (LVR 342, 365), daughter of Benjamin3 (Daniel2, John1) and Esther (?) Hoar. Mary married second, at Littleton, 24 July 1759 (LVR 83, 222), JONATHAN WHEELER, by whom she had eight more children. On 17 April 1758, Mary Hartwell widow, Benjamin Hoar, yeoman, and John Fox, gentleman, gave bond for Mary to administer the estate of Thomas Hartwell, deceased. Capt. Joseph Baker, Lieut. Joseph Harwood, and Mr. Abraham Patch were appointed to take the inventory. They reported that Thomas left an estate valued at 7 pounds, 1 shilling, 5 pence, but on 27 August 1759, Mary (now Mary Wheeler) submitted an account showing an estate of 52 pounds, 19 shillings, less her expenses of 12 pounds, 1 shilling, 9 pence, leaving an estate of 40 pounds, 17 shillings, 3 pence (Middlesex Probate File 10596). Child, born at Littleton (LVR 73, 120): 5.71 i. SARAH5 HARTWELL, b. (posthumously) 10 Feb 1758; m. DANIEL5 HARTWELL (see #5.149).

4.35 OLIVER4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, John2, William1) was born at Chelmsford, 9 March 1728/9 (ChVR 76), and he died between 24 February 1773 when he witnessed a deed from his father to his brother-in-law Josiah Hastings (Cheshire [NH] Deed 1:95) and 1778, when he is called “deceased” in both his father’s will and his widow’s administration papers. He married at Littleton, 1 March 1758 (LVR 85), LOIS4 DUDLEY, who was born at Littleton, 12 June 1737 (LVR 49) and died before 20 November 1778, daughter of Samuel3 (Samuel2, Francis1) and Abigail (Waters?) Dudley. Oliver was a member of William Pierce’s Company during the Crown Point Campaign, 9 April to 15 November 1755 (Mass. Archives Vol 94A). Although both HOA and DAR records credit the following Revolutionary service to Oliver6 Hartwell (see #5.7-I and/or #6.14), it may belong to the subject of this paragraph. The Fourth Generation 121 phrase “reported sick and absent” perhaps gives a clue to Oliver’s decease. Hartwell, Oliver, Littleton. Private, Lieut. Aquila Jewett’s co. of Minute-men, Col. James Prescott’s regt., which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service, 7 days. Also, Hartwell, Oliver, Stow. Private; list of men returned as serving on main guard under Lieut. Col. L. Baldwin, dated 22 June 1775; also, Capt. Samuel Patch’s co., Col. William Prescoat’s (Prescott’s) regt.; company return dated Oct. 7, 1775; reported sick and absent (MS&S). Also, Hartwell, Oliver. Capt. Samuel Patch’s co., Col. William Prescoat’s (Prescott’s) regt.; order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money dated Cambridge, 26 December 1775 (MS&S). Administration of Lois Hartwell’s estate was granted to her brother, Stephen Dudley on 20 November 1778, when Stephen Dudley and John Robbins, both of Littleton, gentlemen, and Lemuel Blanchard of Cambridge, innholder, gave bond. These same three men also gave bond for Stephen Dudley to be “appointed guardian of Lois, a minor (having signified her choice) above 14 years of age, daughter of Oliver Hartwell of Littleton, gentleman, deceased.” Lois is called “the only surviving heir of her mother’s estate” (Middlesex Probate File 10577). Oliver Tenny, Joseph Harwood and William Henry Prentice, all of Littleton, were appointed to take the inventory, which was dated 13 February 1779, and showed an estate of 364 pounds, 3 shillings (ibid.). Child, born at Littleton (LVR 77): +5.72 i. LOIS5 HARTWELL, b. 8 Jan 1761; m. SAMUEL5 HARTWELL (see #5.148).

4.37 ELISABETH4 “BETTY” HARTWELL (Jonathan3, John2, William1) was born at Westford, 13 February 1731/2 (WVR 49), and she died there 10 February 1826, age 95 (WVR 278, as “mother of Capt. Jonathan Keyes”). Betty married first, at Littleton, 7 November 1751 (LVR 99), PETER5 REED JR., who was born at Lexington, 16 February 1728/9 (LVR 62), son of Peter4 (Philip3-2, Elias1) and Abigail (—) Reed. Peter died, probably at Littleton, prior to 16 February 1761, when administration on his estate was granted to 122 Descendants of William1 Hartwell widow Betty Reed. Peter Reed, cooper, and Richard Goldsmith, bricklayer, both of Littleton, stood bond (Middlesex Probate File 18585). Betty married second, at Westford, 1 July 1762 (WVR 244), as his second wife, JONATHAN KEYES, who was born at Chelmsford, 21 January 1721/2 (ChVR 88) and died at Westford, 20 June 1781 “in his 60th yr” (WVR 293), son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Fletcher) Keyes. Jonathan’s first wife was ELIZABETH FLETCHER, who was born at Chelmsford, 9 March 1719/20 (ChVR 63), and died at Westford, 23 July 1761, age 41y 4m 3d (WVR 203), daughter of Samuel and Hannah (—) Fletcher. Jonathan and Elizabeth had seven recorded children, but at least three of these died before Jonathan married Betty. On 24 January 1763, Jonathan Keyes was appointed guardian to Betty, Charles, Abijah, Sarah, Abigail and Molly Reed, all minors under the age of 14 years, children of Peter Reed, Jr. of Littleton, deceased (Middlesex Probate File 18586). Betty married third, at Westford, 15 October 1782 (WVR 194), as his second wife, Capt. PELETIAH FLETCHER, who was born at Westford, 3 May 1727 (WVR 40) and died there 23 February 1807, age 79 (WVR 280), son of Joseph and Sarah (Adams) Fletcher. Peletiah had been a Captain in the Revolution (DARPI). Betty and Peletiah had no children, but Peletiah had twelve children by his first wife, DOROTHY HILDRETH, who was born at Westford, 26 August 1736 (WVR 53) and died there 14 June 1782, in her 46th year (WVR 278), daughter of James and Dorothy (Prescott) Hildreth. Two of Peletiah and Dorothy’s children are known to have died in infancy, and one died shortly after Peletiah’s marriage to Betty. Two of Peletiah’s children subsequently married two of Betty’s children by Jonathan Keyes. HOA says “Elizabeth is noted as the mother of three sets of twins. It is said that there were about 40 who called her mother either by blood or marriage. About the time she died her grandchildren numbered 119, and her great grandchildren about 90. There were at one time 5 generations at one table in the old Keyes mansion.” Attempts to prove this statement have so far resulted in identifying the following 13 children and 103 grandchildren. Fourth Generation 123

Perhaps HOA counted some of Betty’s step-grandchildren in his total. Children by Peter Reed, born at Littleton (LVR 67): i. BETTY REED (twin), b. 22 Aug 1752.

4.38 MARY4 “MOLLY” HARTWELL (Jonathan3, John2, William1) was born at Westford, -- May 1738 (WVR 49), and she died at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, where her gravestone is too broken to determine the date of her death. She married at Littleton, 11 April 1757 (LVR 88), JOSIAH4 HASTINGS, who was baptized at Lexington, 27 August 1727 (LVR 35) and died at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, 14 December 1810, in his 84th year (Oran E. Randall, History of Chesterfield, NH [1882]; Gs.), son of Thomas3 (John2, Thomas1) and Sarah (White) Hastings. On 24 February 1773, Jonathan Hartwell of Littleton, gentleman, deeded to Josiah Hastings of Chesterfield, NH, for 20 pounds, 50 acres on house lot #7 in Chesterfield (Cheshire Deed 1:95). Mr. Randall puts Josiah’s arrival in Chesterfield as “about 1768,” which may be a little premature. Josiah was a soldier in 1775 and 1777 (Hist. Chesterfield).

Descendants of Samuel3 and Abigail (Stearns) Hartwell

4.40 SAMUEL4 HARTWELL (Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 12 November 1693 (CBMD 38) and he died at West Bridge- water, 25 December 1760, age 67 (WBVR 197; Gs:Jerusalem Cemetery). He married ca. 1717, HANNAH (—), who died at Stoughton, 19 April 1736 (HOA), identity not established. [Note: The 1962 Supplement to HOA gives her surname as “Chaucer,” but this undocumented statement is undoubtedly incorrect, as the surname Chaucer appears to be unknown in Massachusetts at that time.] Samuel “appears as a resident of that part of Dorchester cut off as Stoughton [in 1726], later divided to form Canton in 1797. He was examined 27 June 1717 for admission to a new church society gathered by Rev. Joseph Morse. He settled on a farm near the Sharon line, on the Walpole road, near Hartwell Brook; appears in 1733 as an appraiser of the estate of the Rev. Morse; removed in 1736 to West Bridgewater [sic; West Bridgewater was formed in Fourth Generation 137

1822], and was highway surveyor the same year; bought of Thomas Haywood the farm in the northern part of that parish on which the Hartwell and Copeland shoe factory was erected” (HOA). Samuel wrote his will 4 March 1760, being “weak in body, but of sound mind, thanks be to God.” He left his oxen and other goods to son Jonas, whom he named administrator. Also left legacies were: son Nathan; children of deceased daughter Abigail Adams; children of deceased daughter Hannah Reynolds; daughter Sarah Carver; daughters Silence and Experience Hartwell; and daughter Martha Packard, wife of Joshua Packard. He mentioned his right in the estate of his aunt Ruth Hartwell (giving further proof that the story of family resentment about the distribution of Ruth’s estate is an exaggeration), and the legacy left him by his father. The will was witnessed by Shepard Fisk, Adam Bailey and Matthew Bush, and the inventory was taken by Daniel Littlefield, Jonathan Burr and Shepard Fisk (Plymouth County Probate File 9372). Since Jonas died before the estate could be administered, administration was granted to Nathan Hartwell in 1761 (Plymouth County Probate File 9373).

4.41 ABIGAIL4 HARTWELL (Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 27 November 1695 (CBMD 41), and she died in childbirth at Stoughton, 13 October 1727 (CVR 35). She married at Concord, the Rev. John Whiting officiating, 10 December 1716 (CBMD 92), her second cousin, WILLIAM4 WHEELER, who was born probably at Oyster River [Durham], New Hampshire, ca. 1694 and died at Stoughton, 16 July 1773 (CVR 69), son of John3 (William2, George1) and Elizabeth (Wells) Wheeler (not the WW born at Concord, 9 January 1693/4, as identified by HOA). William became a ward of his uncle, William Wheeler of Concord, after his parents were killed by Indians on 27 April 1706. Following his marriage to Abigail, he removed to ancient Dorchester, where he bought land from the Puncapoag Indians in 1726 under a special authorization of the General Court (Acts and Resolves 10:706). The land is in the Canton of today. After Abigail’s death, William married second, at Stoughton, 21 May 1729 (CVR 30), SARAH STEARNS, by whom he had five more children (for more about William see NEHGR 104[1950]:244).

4.45 EPHRAIM4 HARTWELL (Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 14 January 1706/7 (CBMD 66), and he died at Lincoln, 7 May 1793, in his 87th year (LVR 164). He married at Concord, 7 November 1732 (CBMD 131), ELIZABETH HEYWOOD, who was born at Concord, 3 June 1714 (CBMD 84) and died at Lincoln, 20 June 1808, age 94 (LVR 164), daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hubbard) Heywood. “The youngest son, [Ephraim] remained on the homestead, caring for his father” (HOA). Although HOA says that Ephraim was “residuary legatee of the wills of his aunt Ruth and his father, and therefore was looked upon with a jealous eye by members of the other branches of the family, this statement would appear to be inaccurate in light of the fact that both Ruth (see #3.12) and Samuel died intestate, and their estates were settled by agreement among the heirs. “He received in 1735 the share of the Narragansett lands alloted as compensation for his grandfather’s services in King 146 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Philip’s war. In his will, made in 1786 [sic], he bequeathed a slave, Violet, to his widow. This bequest, however, in nowise contravened the spirit of the law or of the courts, as it was in point of fact a fitting provision for an old and faithful family servant. He lived on the homestead of his father, which fell just over the line in Lincoln when that town was set off from Concord, and kept a tavern on the detour formerly made by the Bay Road to the left of its present course, a little to the eastward of the Brooks tavern, later occupied by his great-grandson, Samuel7 Hartwell” (HOA).

Although there is no evidence that he ever lived there, Ephraim was a large landowner in Worcester County, Massachusetts, in the area of Rutland, Holden and Princeton. Beginning in 1744, he purchased land there, primarily from the estate of Robert Blood, and he eventually owned more than 200 acres (Worcester County Deeds 18:313, 21:144, 22:66, 35:81, 35:82, 53:479, 60:343, 74:466). He deeded land in Princeton to sons Ephraim, Jr. and Isaac. Ephraim is listed on the 1790 federal census as the head of a family in Lincoln, consisting Fourth Generation 147 of one male over the age of 16, one female, and one other person, possibly his former slave, Violet. [Note: Although slavery was abolished in Massachusetts in 1780, many former servants remained with their old masters.]

Ephraim’s will, written in 1793, left beloved wife Elizabeth 1/3 part of the house, etc., and a negro woman named Violet. Son Samuel received land, a house, etc. in Lincoln and Bedford and 10 acres in Princeton provided he pay daughter Elizabeth Putnam 13 pounds, 6 shillings, 8 pence lawful silver money. Son Ephraim received 60 acres of land in Princeton and son Isaac 90 acres, also in Princeton. Son John received the dwelling house in Lincoln and the new addition (reserving liberty for wife’s improvement), and land in Bedford and Princeton. Daughters Abigail Jones and Mary Brown were to receive 13 pounds, 6 shillings, 8 pence each. Grandson Ephraim Hartwell was given a pair of silver shoe buckles and grandson Jonas Stratton was to have “a pair of 3 year old stears when [he] comes to age 21.” Also a cow to granddaughter Lydia 148 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Stratton when she comes of age. John Hartwell was named sole executor. On 11 April 1794, Ephraim Hartwell, Jonas and Abigail Jones, Caleb and Lydia Campbell, Isaac Hartwell, Jonas Stratton, Roger and Mary Brown all certified that they had received of John Hartwell the legacy and bequests given them in Ephraim’s will (Middlesex Probate File 10560).

ISAAC HARTWELL, b. 8 July 1752 (CBMD 186); m. EUNICE MIRICK. 5.101 xiv. JONAS HARTWELL, b. Lincoln, 26 June 1754 (LVR 43). He “graduated from Harvard in 1777. He went to Bilboa, Spain, engaging in trade and accumulating wealth. When, in 1784, about to return home, he was seized and imprisoned at Leon by order of the Holy Inquisition. The captain of one of his ships, just arrived at Bilboa, had discharged ballast for repairs; hearing of the impris- onment of Mr. Hartwell, he set sail without ballast for America, by singular good fortune arriving safely in Boston. The family and friends at once appealed to the President of Congress [sic], who dispatched a swift sailing vessel with a demand on the Spanish government for the release of Mr. Hartwell, who died, however, about six weeks after his liberation, as is believed from the effects of slow poison administered during his confine- ment” (HOA).

4.46 LYDIA4 HARTWELL (Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 2 May 1709 (CBMD 72) and she died probably at Amherst, New Hampshire, between 1749 and 1757 (Shepard Families of New England: John Shepard of Concord, MA, Vol. 3, hereinafter Shepard). As we have seen, Lydia’s brother Isaac, in his will dated 18 November 1785, willed a legacy left him by his father to the heirs of sister 150 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Lydia Shepard deceased, stating that she “had more than her sister or heirs of her sister deceased.” Lydia married ca. 1729, JOHN SHEPARD, who was born at Concord, 30 May 1706 (CBMD 64) and died 29 November 1785 (Shepard), son of Daniel and Mary (Smedley) Shepard.

Descendants of William3 & Ruth (Hosmer?) Hartwell

4.47 WILLIAM4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 5 November 1703 (CBMD 60) and he died at Bedford, 20 April 1746 (BVR 124). He married, ca. 1726, DEBORAH (—), who died at Bedford 31 December 1745 (BVR 124). HOA speculates that Deborah was “probably Deborah Wheeler of Concord, daughter of Isaac and Sarah (How) Wheeler of Plainfield, CT, b. 13 Jan. 1701. There was a Deborah Wheat in Concord at the same time, dau. of Joseph and Priscilla (Flagg) Wheat, b. 5 March 1705.” [Note: Since William and Deborah named their second son Joseph, this latter identification seems the more likely; further research might help positively identify Deborah.] William served in the military in the area of Berwick, Maine, ca. 1722-25, at the end of Queen Anne’s War. His name appears as a “Centll” on the muster roll of Col. John Wheelwright & Co. for August 22 to November 27, 1722 (Mass. Archives 91:58-61); on that of Capt. Samll Wheelwright & Co. for June 2 to November 16, 1725 154 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

(Mass. Archives 91:209-210). For more about this military action see “Letters of Col. Thomas Westbrook & Others Relative to Indian Affairs in Maine” (NEHGR 48 & 49 [1894]). On 10 June 1743, William Hartwell of Bedford, purchased from Peter Powers of Dunstable West Precinct [now Nashua, NH], 145 acres of land in Dunstable W.P. (Rockingham Co. [NH] Deed 33:6) and on 10 June 1744 he was one of the signers of a petition to have garrisons and soldiers sent to the area (History of Hollis, NH). HOA appears to have believed that the signer of this petition was William3 Hartwell, son of John and Priscilla (Wright) Hartwell (see #2.2-v), but a deed from Joseph Hartwell, “son of William, deceased” selling this same piece of property, proves beyond question that it was this William Hartwell who owned land in Dunstable. On 26 January 1746[/7?], Thomas Fox, housewright of Concord, and Jonathan Wooley, housewright of Bedford, gave bond to be guardians of Ruth Hartwell “in her fifth year,” James Hartwell, “about 8 years of age,” and William Hartwell, “about 10 years of age” (Middlesex Probate File 10602). These guardianship appointments may contain clues to Deborah’s identity. Children, order of birth uncertain: 5.102 i. OLIVER5 HARTWELL, b. Concord, 13 Jan 1727/8 (CBMD 119) or Bedford, 30 Jan 1727/8 (BVR 29); d. Bedford, 14 Dec 1745 (BVR 124). Oliver “was a soldier in the expedition against Louisburg, C.B., prob. d. before the return of the expedition, as Joseph Arnold, administrator of his father’s estate, charges himself in 1749 with 16 pounds pay collected for his services” (HOA). +5.103 ii. JOSEPH HARTWELL, b. Bedford, 3 Nov 1730 (BVR 28); m. SARAH SKINNER. 5.104 iii. WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. Bedford, 9 June 1733 (BVR 28); d. there 13 April 1736 (BVR 123). 5.105 iv. WILLIAM HARTWELL (not in HOA), b. ca. 1736/7, as he was about 10 years of age in 1746 when Thomas Fox and Fourth Generation 155

Jonathan Wooley were appointed his guardians (Middlesex Probate File 10602). He is almost certainly the William Hartwell to whom several otherwise unaccounted-for records pertain. Chronologically these records are: 1) marriage intentions published at Westford, 21 Nov 1761 (WVR 178) between William Hartwell and Abigail Stratton. Despite the intentions, the marriage seems not to have taken place, since “Abigail Stratton of Concord” m. 29 Nov 1764, Solomon Wheeler of Kingston (CBMD 221); 2) a deed dated 2 Feb 1762 from Jonathan Stevens of Lunenburg to William Hartwell of Westford, blacksmith, for 40 acres of land in Lunenburg, being a farm with a house, blacksmith shop, etc... (Worcester Deeds 45:437); 3) a deed dated 8 March 1762 from William Hartwell of Westford, blacksmith, to Samuel Hunt of Lunenburg, gentleman, for 40 acres of land in Lunenburg, which, from the description of the bounds, was the same parcel of land and buildings William had purchased from Jonathan Stevens the previous month (Worcester Deed 45:478); 4) administration on the estate of William Hartwell of Concord, deceased intestate, granted to Jonathan Stevens, undoubtedly the same Jonathan Stevens from whom William had purchased land in Lunenburg. Jonathan Stevens, blacksmith, and Ephraim Lawrence, physician, both of the district of Pepperill, and Thomas Chamberlain of Deerfield in the county of Hampshire, stood bond. In due course, Jonathan Stevens declared the estate insolvent (Middlesex County Probate File 10604). These documents raise more questions than they answer, but certainly do not seem to pertain to William3, son of John2 and Priscilla (Wright) Hartwell, who was accorded the above death date by HOA. The fact that Joseph4 Hartwell married at Chelmsford lends credence to the theory that it was his brother William and not his third cousin William to whom these records belong. 156 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

4.48 RUTH4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 14 May 1705 (CBMD 63) and she died at Sutton, “after a long weakness” 25 or 27 October 1779, age 74 yrs (SVR 397; not 1759 as in HOA). She married ca. 1727/8, JONATHAN BACON, who was born at Billerica, 18 December 1700 (BVR 13) and died at Sutton, 14 October 1750, age 50 (SVR 397), son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Giles) Bacon. On 4 October 1750, ten days before his death, Jonathan deeded his extensive holdings in Sutton and Uxbridge to his son, Jonathan, Jr. (Worcester Deed 30:497). On 2 November 1750, Jonathan Bacon of Uxbridge, “for 135 pounds paid by my brother William Bacon of Uxbridge, and more especially in consideration of the instructions left me by my Honored father, Jonathan Bacon, late of Sutton, deceased,” sold William 550 acres of land, partly in Sutton and partly in Uxbridge (Worcester Deed 29:463). Then, on 2 February 1761, Jonathan of Uxbridge, “in consideration of 135 pounds paid by my brother Timothy of Sutton and more especially in consideration of instructions left me by my Honored father Jonathan Bacon late of Sutton, gentleman, deceased, all my interest in a certain tract and parcel of land and buildings in Sutton to wit: one half of the homestead where my honored father lived at his decease excepting the improvement I have conveyed to my Honored mother Ruth Bacon. . . .” (Worcester Deed 49:353). On 20 July 1764, Timothy of Spencer District “for 40 pounds paid by my Honored mother Ruth Bacon of Sutton, spinster [sic], release my claim to all my right which I have or ever expect to have in the dwelling house and barns and outhouses and interest in three acres of land adjoining, which land was formerly my Honored father, Jonathan Bacon’s late of Sutton deceased and purchased by my brother Jonathan Bacon of Fourth Generation 157

Uxbridge” (Worcester Deed 51:169). Still later, on 6 March 1770, Ruth Bacon of Sutton, spinster [sic], for 40 pounds paid by David Bacon of Sutton sold “all my right in three acres of land lying and being around my now dwelling house and buildings that is one half of my dwelling house that I [blank] of my son Timothy Bacon” (Worcester Deed 137:509).

4.49 DOROTHY4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 27 March 1707 (CBMD 67), and she died, probably at Grafton, before 9 October 1755, when her husband remarried. She married ca. 1726, JOSEPH3 ARNOLD, who was born at Reading, 8 December 1692 (RVR 11), and died at Grafton, between 16 August 1774 when he made his will and 19 August 1777 when his will was lodged by his executor (Worcester County Probate File #A:1925), son of William2 (Joseph1) and Elizabeth2 (Thomas1) (Clark) Arnold. Dorothy and Joseph apparently remained in the Stoneham/ Wakefield area for a few years, but on 10 December 1744, Joseph was “of Smithfield, Providence Co., Rhode Island” when he purchased from Thomas Arnold of Smithfield, for 700 pounds, a tract of land Thomas had bought of Jonathan Gaskill of Mendon (Worcester Deeds 19:437). This land was probably some of that containing “a dwelling house and two blacksmith shops” that Joseph Arnold, blacksmith of Grafton, Worcester Co., deeded for 14 pounds to his son Joseph Arnold, blacksmith of Shrewsbury, on 1 November 1760 (Worcester Deeds 46:486). Fourth Generation 161

Joseph Arnold, his wife and three children were warned out of Grafton, 14 May 1751 (Worcester County Warnings), but settled there nevertheless. Joseph Arnold married second, at Grafton, 9 October 1755 (GVR 161), ABIGAIL (—) NEWTON, widow of Obadiah Newton, who had died at Grafton 11 May 1753, and by whom she had at least nine children. Abigail’s birth date and parentage are not known, but she is doubtless the Abigail Arnold, late of Shrewsbury, deceased, for administration of whose estate Calvin Newton, gentleman of Shrewsbury, Jonathan Champney, Esq. of South- borough, and Daniel Newton of Shoreham, Addison Co., Vermont, gentleman, gave bond 5 February 1793 (Worcester County Probate File #A:1893). In his will Joseph Arnold left “beloved wife Abigail” everything left her by her late husband Obadiah Newton, as well as all that was left her by her late daughter Persis Newton [which was] in the hands of Colonel Artemas Ward of Shrewsbury “provided she shall quit all right to my tools, wearing apparel and estate that came to me by the decease of John Arnold late of Westborough and all my other estate.” Sons Joseph [Jr.], Thomas and William were left all Joseph’s wearing apparel, husbandry tools, and stock, to be equally divided between them. Daughter Mary, wife of Ebenezer “Howard,” was left 5 shillings out of the household goods. Daughters Dorothy (now wife of Benjamin Jacobs), Elizabeth and Rebecca (now wife of Unite Brown) were left the remainder of the household goods. Son Joseph [Jr.] was given 4 pounds out of a bond signed by him 19 August 1773, and son Thomas was given 19 shillings 4 pence out of the same bond “if that amount remain.” Son Joseph [Jr.] was named sole executor, and the will was witnessed by Aaron Hutchinson, Timothy Darling and Nathan Morse. Gershom Bigelow, Jonas Morse and William Morse, all of Marlborough, were appointed to take the inventory which amounted to 99 pounds, 7 shillings. When all the distributions and debts were paid, the balance of the estate was only 8 pounds, 16 shillings, and 8 pence. 162 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

4.50 DANIEL4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 20 March 1708/9 (CBMD 73) and he died at Bedford, 10 July 1745 (BVR 124; not 2 July 1795 as in HOA). He married at Bedford, 13 June 1734 (BVR 80), “Mrs.” [sic] SARAH4 WILSON, who was born at Billerica, 20 February 1711/12 (BVR 205) and died a widow at Charlemont, 2 April 1795, in her 86th year” (CVR 144; not 12 July as in HOA), daughter of Francis3 (John2-1) and Patience (—) Wilson. In his simple will, Daniel left everything to “beloved wife, Sarah,” and named her executor. He mentions sons Daniel, Solomon, Francis, and William, daughter Sarah, and the unborn child his wife is carrying (Middlesex Probate File 10551). In 1765, widow Sarah Hartwell was granted administration on the estate of her father, Francis Wilson. In an undated letter to the judge of probate, Sarah’s younger sisters, Joanna and Rebecca Wilson, complain that they are caring for their aged mother, which is a heavy burden, and the executor of the estate is doing nothing to 168 Descendants of William1 Hartwell help them, and is, indeed, cutting the hay and mowing the grass, and keeping it for her own use (Middlesex Probate File 25134). Children, all born at Bedford (BVR 28-29): 5.109 i. DANIEL5 HARTWELL, b. 14 March 1734/5; d. before 19 June 1760. On 13 March 1752, Daniel Hartwell, age 17, son of Daniel deceased, chose his uncle Timothy Hartwell of Bedford to be his guardian; Timothy Hartwell and Israel Putnam gave bond (Middlesex Probate File 10552). HOA states that, according to tradition, Daniel was a soldier in the French War, and the probable date of his death bears this out. On 19 June 1760, Sarah asked the court to appoint Solomon to administer Daniel’s estate. Solomon Hartwell, yeoman, Josiah Fassett, gentleman, both of Bedford, and Jessaniah Crosby of Billerica gave bond, 23 June 1760. Daniel’s estate was deemed too small to divide among his heirs, and Sarah Hartwell, Solomon Hartwell, Sarah Hartwell, and Isaac Willard, guardian [for William and Elizabeth], agreed that Solomon should have the entire estate (Middlesex Probate File 10555). +5.110 ii. SARAH HARTWELL, b. 4 Oct 1736; m. JEREMIAH BLOOD. +5.111 iii. SOLOMON HARTWELL, b. 20 April 1739; m. ABIGAIL DAVIS. 5.112 iv. FRANCIS HARTWELL, b. ca. 1741; d. probably young. HOA says Francis “was mentioned in his father’s will made in 1745, and his memory is preserved among the Kemps, descended from his brother William5, who have a tradition that he and his eldest brother Daniel were in military service. If this be true, Daniel must have been in one of the expeditions against Canada in 1758-9. Mrs. Mary Nelson of Cherokee, IA, wrote to Mr. Densmore before 1887 that her mother’s great uncle Francis was killed in one of the battles of the Revolution, the news reaching her father’s house during breakfast one morning.” Francis is indeed mentioned in his father’s will, but he is not mentioned in the settlement of his brother Daniel’s estate, Fourth Generation 169

nor was any guardian for him ever appointed, although all the other children had guardians. It is unlikely that Francis lived long enough to participate in any war. +5.113 v. WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. 1 Sept 1743; m. MARY LOVELL. +5.114 vi. ELIZABETH HARTWELL, b. (posthumously) 20 Oct 1745; m. ROBERT REED.

4.51 TIMOTHY4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 15 September 1712 (CBMD 81) and he died at Bedford, 27 Dec 1797 “with a complicated disorder, age 85” (BVR 123). He married at Bedford, 24 March 1736/7 (BVR 80), MARY DAVIS, who was born at Concord, 4 April 1719 (CBMD 96) and died of “lung fever” at Bedford, 22 April 1808, age 89” (BVR 123), daughter of Daniel and Mary (Hubbard) Davis. Nearly all that is known of Timothy is the fact of his acting as co-executor with John4 Hartwell of the will of his uncle John3 Hartwell, the money lender, and at the final settlement rendered a bill for services nearly five times as great as that of his co-executor, who seems to have performed about as much service, and which so took the probate judge aback that he ordered both accounts to “lie over for further examination” (HOA). Timothy is listed on the 1790 federal census as the head of a family in Bedford consisting of one male over 16 and one female. Children, born at Bedford: 5.115 i. UNNAMED DAUGHTER, b. 4 June 1750, d. 5 June 1750 (BVR 124). 5.116 ii. UNNAMED DAUGHTER, b. & d. 28 March 1753 (BVR 123).

4.52 STEPHEN4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born probably at Concord, ca. 1716 (calc.) and he died at Bedford, 12 July 1792, age 76 (BVR 123). He married first at Bedford, 31 December 1741 (BVR 81), MARY RAYMOND, who was baptized at Salem, 6 May 1723 (SVR ?:???) and died at Bedford, 12 July 1752 170 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

(BVR 124), daughter of Paul and Tabitha (Balch) Raymond. Stephen married second, at Bedford, 15 February 1753 (BVR 82), as her second husband, REBECCA (CHANDLER) DAVIS, who was born at Concord, 2 December 1711 (CBMD 80) and died at Bedford, 13 August 1790, age 79 (BVR 123), daughter of Samuel and Dorcas (Buss) Chandler and widow of ELEAZER DAVIS, whom she married at Concord, 17 June 1731 (CBMD 124). Stephen “settled in the south part of Bedford on a farm later owned by John McGovern” (HOA). He is listed on the 1790 census as the head of a family in Bedford consisting of two males over 16 and two females. Children by first wife, born at Bedford (BVR 30): +5.117 i.

Bedford, 30 Aug 1824, age 68y 2m (BVR 123), dau. of Joseph and Desire (Batchelder) Brown. Samuel is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a family in Bedford consisting of one male over 16 and one female. He made his will 9 Aug 1822, leaving $300 to the town of Bedford “for the support of the Congregational minister and sacred music.” He left the west end of his dwelling house “built just before her husband died” to widow Hannah Putnam. Samuel Heartwell Fassett, Samuel Hartwell Mead and Samuel Heartwell Putnam were all left $50 each, as was his nephew Judah Wright. Wife Desire was Fourth Generation 171

to have all the rest of the estate, and William Webber was named executor. Joseph Hartwell, Joel Wright and William Hartwell were witnesses (Middlesex Probate File 10589). Desire Hartwell, widow of Bedford, made her will 11 Oct 1823, leaving $100 to the American Education Society; $100 to the Rev. Samuel Stearns of Bedford and his heirs; $20 each to sisters-in-law Abigail Simonds, Tabatha Wright and Ruth Skelton; $20 to brother Stephen Mead; her pew in the meeting house to sister Elizabeth Hartwell and her heirs; her muff and tippett to sister Submit Richardson; her brass candlesticks to niece Eliza Mead; 6 silver spoons and the 2nd salt to niece Abigail Mead; a small waiter to niece Lois Mead; and $30 to nephew Hosea Evans and his heirs. Also mentioned are Lucy Desire Mead; her niece the widow Hannah Putnam; brother Asa Mead, who was named trustee for sister Esther Mead; and the children of sister Lydia Thompson, viz: Abijah, Franklin and Abigail Thompson. William Webber and John Meriam were appointed executors and John Webber, Zebedee Simonds, and Amos Hartwell took the inventory, which showed considerable personal property (Middlesex Probate File 10557).

4.53 MARY4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born probably at Concord, ca. 1719 (calc.), and was living in Sanford, Maine as late as 1771, when she is shown on the Massachusetts Tax Evaluation List. She was “of Bedford” when she married at Concord, Justice Minott officiating, 11 June 1741 (CBMD 152), as his second wife, WALTER3 POWERS of Bedford. Walter was born ca. 1708 and died at Sanford, Maine before 1771 (Early Families of Sanford- Springvale, Maine). His first wife, by whom he had several children, was SARAH FASSETT, daughter of John Fassett. On 4 December 1742, William Hartwell bequeathed “unto the children of my daughter, Mary Powers, and to their heirs and 172 Descendants of William1 Hartwell assigns forever, 15 acres of land, being in said Bedford, near the dwelling house of William Hastings.” In 1774, John Moore wanted to purchase this land, and the court divided the property into nine parts, “4/9 for the minor heirs and 5/9 for John Moore to purchase from the heirs who are of age.” James Hartwell was appointed to carry word of the court’s decision to the heirs (Middlesex Probate File 10600). HOA accords Mary five children: David, Nahum, Maria, Rebecca and Kezia, but Early Families of Sanford-Springvale, Maine gives her nine children none of whom bear the names cited by HOA. The account of the family in Early Families... seems well documented and matches the court’s division of land to the heirs, and is, therefore, cited here. [Note: Adeline Stack of South Port- land, Maine, did much of the research on this family]. “Thomas Walter Powers . . . apparently d. Sanford before 1771, when the Massachusetts Tax Evaluation List shows only Mary, Stephen, Walter and John Powers as Sanford taxpayers. He, his wife Mary, and children, John, Ruth, Stephen and Walter, were warned out of Newton, NH, 2 July 1751 (NH Rec. and Archives). According to Emery (p. 98) he was, however, an elder in the Baptist church of Sanford being ordained as a minister in Newton, NH, 1755. NH Archives also has a record from the Church of Christ in Concord (probably MA) making a strong condemnation of Power’s moral character as early as 1740 in that community. The first record of him in Sanford was 1 April 1768 when he acquired land in Sanford from Jeremiah Moulton and Joseph Simpson (YD 40:104). As a resident of South Sanford he helped ‘in building up a society of Baptists’ in that district of the town (Emery, 98). His deed of 2 April 1768 conveyed ‘lot 6 in Phillipstown, now Sanford’ to his ‘son, Walter Powers of Sanford’ (YD 40:104). Revolutionary records show that John, Jonathon, Nathan, Walter and William Powers, all of Sanford, served in the American Revolution. Given the inclusion of three of the above in the 1751 ‘warning out’ it is believed that all Powers men in Sanford were sons of Thomas Walter Powers” (Early Families of Sanford-Springvale). Fourth Generation 173

Children, born probably at Bedford, Massachusetts and/or Newton, New Hampshire, order of birth uncertain: i. STEPHEN POWERS, posthumously given a deed by Enoch Hale, 10 Nov 1808, witnessed by John Powers and Henry Hamilton (YD 71:98). The deed was written to replace one which had been mislaid and written “twenty odd years” before and names the following as Stephen’s heirs: “Rebecca Fogg, Hannah Powers, and Miriam Choat, all of Limington, spinsters.” The History of Limington (1975, p. 167) states that Lemuel Fogg, b. Limington 9 May 1771, son of Joseph and Mercy (Berry) Fogg, m. Rebecca Powers at Limington 6 Sept 1797. She d. Standish 13 April 1851, age 70y 3m [b. Jan 1781].” ii. RUTH POWERS, b. before 1751 when the family was warned out of Newton, NH. iii. WALTER POWERS, b. prob. Bedford, 14 March 1747 (Belmont NH VRs). As a deacon in the Baptist Church of Sanford, ME, he was chosen elder, 1774, and later served as minister of the Baptist Church in Gilmanton, NH (Emery, 100). As Walter Powers of Gilmanton, NH, clerk, he conveyed Sanford property in 1786 to Jonathon Powers of Sanford, his assumed brother (YD 96:185). By 17 Sept 1794 he sold additional Sanford land to Nathan Powers of Sanford, another assumed brother (YD 90:58). He married at Belmont, NH, 12 April 1768 (NH VRs), SARAH (WILLARD) HARMON, b. ca. 1748, dau. of Samuel and Dorothy Willard (Sanford and Belmont VRs). Children, recorded at Sanford, Maine (SVR): 1.

Jonathan was a Baptist church elder, preached in Back Street (Emery, 82). He lived in that section of the town which became Alfred. In 1790 he was enumerated in Sanford with a family of three males under 16. vii. TIMOTHY POWERS, n.f.r. viii. WILLIAM POWERS, n.f.r. ix. NATHAN POWERS, b. 1761 (ME Soldiers, 634).

4.54 JOSEPH4 HARTWELL (William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 17 January 1722/3 (CBMD 107) and he died at Bedford, 7 July 1792, age 69 (BVR 123). He married at Bedford/Beverly, 12 December 1750 (BVR 80; BVR 2:150), JEMIMA BATCHELDER, who was baptized at Beverly, 26 January 1728/9 (BVR 1:38) and died at Bedford, 13 July 1786, age 56 (BVR 123), daughter of John Jr. and Jemima (Conant) Batchelder. Joseph served in the Revolution as a Private, and also performed public service (DARPI). Part of the public service may have consisted in sending his slave, Jeffrey (also called Jeffries and Jesse), to serve in his stead (see Appendix C for Jeffrey Hartwell’s story). Joseph is listed on the 1790 census as the head of a Fourth Generation 175 household in Bedford consisting of four males over 16, one male under 16, and three females.

Descendants of Jonathan3 & Hannah (Blanchard) Hartwell

4.55 JAMES4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 30 July 1715 (CBMD 86) and his death record has not been found. He was “of Littleton” when he married at Groton, 22 February 1737/8 (GVR 2:82), JEMIMA FROST, who was born at Groton, 16 January 1714/15 (GVR 1:89), death record not found, daughter of John and Ruth (Scripture) Frost. James Hartwell, housewright of Groton, sold 26 acres of land in Groton to Thomas White, also of Groton, for 20 pounds, on 5 March 1760 (Middlesex Deeds 57:345). On 23 July 1762, James, still described as a housewright, sold Thomas White 100 acres of land with the buildings thereon, and Jemima gave up her dower rights (Middlesex Deeds 58:592); this property may have been their homestead. This deed is the last record of James so far found. James “must have been one of the earliest residents of that part of Groton now known as Shirley. He lived in an easterly section of the town, on a farm now owned by a descendant of the fourth generation—Sumner Stuart. He occupied the soil on which he lived and died long before the town had a corporate existence, yet his name does not appear on the list of petitioners for an independent organization” (Hazen, History of Shirley, [1883]). Children, all except James recorded at Groton (GVR 1:106): 5.134 i. [?]JAMES5 HARTWELL, b. ca. 1739; d. prob. Wells, ME, ca. 1806; m. Wells, ME, 30 Jan 1771 (Wells VRs), SARAH KIMBALL, b. Wells, ME, 19 July 1743; bap. there 30 Oct 1743, dau. of Joshua and Sarah (Thompson) Kimball. James has been added here in order to account for several unexplained references to a James Hartwell in Maine. These include: 1. James Hartwell witnessed deeds for Robert Miller of Sanford on 30 Aug. 1769 and 28 March 1774 (NEHGR 140 [1986]:19). 2. On 4 Dec. 1742, William Fourth Generation 177

Hartwell had bequeathed “unto the children of my daughter, Mary Powers, and to their heirs and assigns forever, 15 acres of land, being in said Bedford [MA], near the dwelling house of William Hastings.” In 1774, John Moore wanted to purchase this land and the court divided the property into nine parts, “4/9 for the minor heirs and 5/9 for John Moore to purchase from the heirs who are of age.” Mary (Hartwell) Powers was at this point living in Sanford, Maine, and James Hartwell was appointed to carry word of the decision to the heirs (Middlesex [MA] Probate file 10600). 3. James Hartwell was a Private in Capt. James Littlefield’s co., (late) Col. Storer’s regt.; enlisted 14 Aug. 1777; discharged 23 Oct. 1777 at Queman’s Heights; service 2 mos, 25 days, with Northern army, including 15 days (300 miles) travel home (MS&S). This co. and regt. were from Wells and Sanford, York Co., Maine. 4. James Hartswell [sic] of Sanford published marriage int. 25 Nov 1786 to Abigail Gould of Kittery (Vital Records of Kittery, Maine to the Year 1892, Maine Gen. Soc. Special Publication #8 [1991]). 5. April 5, 1802. “Voted the selectmen take Care of hartwell Best way they can” (History of Sanford, ME, page 227, citing Overseers of the poor records). 5. In 1806 the town [Sanford] voted unanimously to “prosecute villain or villains who took the body of James Hartwell from his grave,” and the next year Sheldon Hobbs was agent to York term of court to prosecute. Peter Whittemore and Caleb Emery were indicted for digging up the body of Hartwell, proved guilty, and fined ten dollars each and costs, May, 1807 (History of Sanford, p. 256). 5.135 ii. JEMIMA HARTWELL, b. 27 March 1741; d. Shirley, 1 March 1819 (HOA: Hazen). According to Hazen (apparent source of Densmore’s information) Jemima “was never married, but had two illegitimate children, HENRY FARWELL and SIMEON FISK. Henry married and had a large family of 178 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

children, all of whom, with father and mother were inmates of the Shirley almshouse for several years. Jemima lived a wandering and scandalous life, until in old age she became a town pauper.” [Note: None of this information is documented in the Shirley VRs.] A Jemima Hartwell is listed on the 1790 census as the head of a family in Shirley consisting of two females. It is not certain whether this Jemima is the mother or the daughter. +5.136 iii. MOLLY HARTWELL, b. 19 March 1742/3; m. REUBEN KENDALL. +5.137 iv. AMASA HARTWELL, b. 28 Feb 1745; m.

4.56 JOSIAH4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 11 September 1717 (CBMD 92) and he died at Littleton, 20 January 1791, in the 74th year of his age (Gs:Old Common Burying Ground). He married first, 16 February 1741 (HOA), BETHIAH WOOD, who was born at Bradford, 22 July 1722 (BVR 68) and died at Littleton, 30 January 1776, age 54 (Gs:Old Common Burying Ground), daughter of John Jr. and Sarah (Kimball) Wood. He married second, at Harvard/ Littleton (int.) 5 January 1777 (HVR 175; LVR 272), as her second husband, HANNAH (HASKELL) WILLARD, widow of Lemuel Willard of Harvard, birth and death dates not found. Hannah was the mother of eight children by Lemuel Willard. [Note 1: HOA incorrectly attributed this marriage to Josiah’s father, Jonathan. Note 2: HOA gives 15 January 1773 as Hannah’s death date in his sketch of Jonathan and 26 January 1803 in his sketch of Fourth Generation 179

Josiah. The first date is obviously incorrect, but neither of these dates has been found in published vital records.] Josiah was a farmer in Littleton, a deacon of the church, and prominent in town affairs (HOA). He is listed on the 1790 federal census as the head of a family in Littleton consisting of one male over 16 and three females. In his will, written 6 June 1787, Josiah Hartwell, gentleman, bequeathed beloved wife Hannah 1/3 part of all his estate. To son Joseph and his heirs he left 5 shillings “with what I gave him before,” to be his full share. Son John received one-half of a 65-acre lot lying on Oak Hill “with what he has already had.” Sons Benjamin and Samuel each received 5 shillings in addition to “what they already had.” Son Daniel was to have the “land and house where he now dwells.” Son Thomas received 40 pounds, “with what he already had. . . .” The heirs of daughter Sarah Melvin, deceased, received 5 shillings “with what they had before. . . .” Daughter Elizabeth Russell, wife of John Russell, was left 15 pounds. Son Simon was appointed sole executor, and was to have all messuages, tenements and estate not previously given. The will was witnessed by John Tuttle, Jude Gilbert of Acton, and Joseph Jewett, and was filed on 7 February 1791 (Middlesex Probate File 10575).

4.58 NATHAN4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Concord, 4 December 1719 (CBMD 97) and he died at Harvard, 8 December 1768, in his 49th year (HVR 276; Gs:Old Cemetery, Harvard Center). He married at Littleton, 11 March 1744 (LVR 98), MARY PATCH, who was born at Littleton, 27 July 1723 (LVR 13, 25) and died at Harvard, 21 October 1800, age 77 (HVR 276; Gs:Old Cemetery), daughter of Abraham and Hannah (Herrick) Patch. Nathan Hartwell “of Littleton in the County of Middlesex and province of Massachusetts” purchased 53 acres in the southern part of Harvard from Solomon Taylor on 28 December 1764 (Worcester County Deeds 59:373). Despite this purchase, Nathan, wife Mary, and children Mary and Lois were warned out of Harvard on 7 January 1766 (Worcester County Warnings 1757-1788 [1899]). The reason for the warning is not clear. HOA’s biography of Nathan contains speculations that the above deed and warning seem to disprove. HOA indicates that Nathan “may have lived somewhere other than Littleton during the 10 years between the time of his marriage and the birth of his first child,” and credits him with a son, James, born during those years. Since Nathan was “of Littleton” in 1764, and since, if he had had a son, that son would probably be mentioned in the warning out of 1766, this compiler has concluded that Nathan probably stayed in Littleton until his purchase of land in Harvard, and that James undoubtedly belongs to some other father, most probably Nathan’s brother James, who was married long enough before his first Fourth Generation 181 recorded child to have had a child in the interim, and who would have had more reason to name a child “James” than Nathan. A further reason to doubt that James belongs to Nathan is found in the deed of Mary Hartwell to Philemon Priest cited below. Nathan adopted Benjamin J. Lawrence, who died at Harvard 26 August 1775, age 23. Benjamin’s unknown father had died in 1767. Mary was named administratrix of her husband’s estate, which the inventory, taken by Israel Taylor, Oliver Whitney and Phineas Fairbank, showed amounted to 260 pounds, 18 shillings, and 4 pence, the bulk of which was the 53 acres purchased by Nathan in 1764 (Worcester County Probate File A:27703). Mary is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Harvard consisting of two females. Children, born at Littleton (LVR 70): +5.154 i. MARY5 “MOLLY” HARTWELL, b. 6 July 1755; d. Harvard, 13 Jan 1821, age 65 (HVR 295); m. Harvard, 11 Feb. 1817 (HVR 175), as his 2nd wife, PHILEMON PRIEST, whose first wife was her sister Lois (see below). On 27 May 1777, Mary Hartwell of Harvard, single woman, deeded to “my brother-in-law,” Philemon Priest, yeoman, for the sum of 80 pounds, “any part of the 2/3 of my late Honored Father’s real estate which by right of law falls to my sister, Lois Priest, and myself, reserving to myself only right in the 1/3 which belongs to my Honored Mother during her natural life” (Worcester Deeds 77:165). This deed is further indication that Nathan had no son, as any such son would surely have been entitled to a share in Nathan’s estate. +5.155 ii. LOIS HARTWELL, b. 12 July 1757; m. PHILEMON PRIEST.

4.60 HANNAH4 HARTWELL (Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 12 April 1723 (LVR 14, 22) and her death record has not been found. She married at Littleton, 4 April 1743 (LVR 98), 182 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

NATHANIEL4 POWERS, who was born at Littleton, 15 July 1720 (LVR 13, 25), son of Joseph3 (Thomas2, Walter1) and Hannah (Whitcomb) Powers. HOA states that Hannah was Nathaniel’s second wife, and the FHL’s IGI indicates that he may have married first, HANNAH HOAR, but there is no evidence for this in any published records so far found. The original marriage record is worn, and it is possible that the name was mis-read at some point in time. Since Nathaniel was only 23 at the time of his marriage to Hannah Hartwell, it seems unlikely that this was a second marriage for him. Nathaniel and Hannah appear to have removed to the Greenwich/New Salem area of Massachusetts ca. 1750, then up the Connecticut River Valley to Charlestown, New Hampshire ca. 1757, then across the river to Springfield, Vermont. Some of their children later appear in Ferrisburg, Addison County, Vermont. Known children, order of birth uncertain: i. LOIS POWERS, b. Acton, 5 Aug 1743 (AVR 90: Powers); n.f.r. ii. [?]SIMON POWERS, b. Littleton, 30 Oct 174- (LVR 56); d. Charlestown, NH, before 8 Oct 1776 (Charlestown records, 85); m. ca. 1773, PRUDENCE (—), about whom nothing is known except that she was named administratrix of her husband’s estate, 22 April 1777. [Note: Simon is questionable as a child of Nathaniel and Hannah, although his name does appear as such in Littleton records. It seems strange that Nathaniel and Hannah would have named succeeding sons “Simon” and “Simeon,” and “Simon” is referred to as “Simeon” in his probate file, but this is later corrected to “Simon.” Also, there seems to be scarcely room for all the children listed as belonging to Nathaniel and Hannah born in the 1740s, given the average span of two years between children. Possibly there is a mistake in Littleton’s published records, that a reading of the original records might reveal.] Fourth Generation 183

Children, b. probably at Charlestown, NH (IGI, which lists these births as occurring in both Charlestown, NH and Fairfax, VT): 1. Patty Powers, b. 10 June 1774; n.f.r. 2. Simon Powers, b. 15 June 1776; n.f.r. iii. SIMEON POWERS, b. Littleton, 1 Dec 17-- (LVR 56, poss. the Simeon Powers on the DARPI listed as “b 12-7-1745, d. about 1820, m. LYDIA DWINNEL, Cpl. NH”). A clue to the whereabouts of Simeon Powers may possibly be found in a deed, signed 14 Feb 1769, whereby Simeon Powers of Springfield, NY [now VT] sold Simon Stevens land in Pelham, NH, granted to Simeon Powers as an Original Grantee of Pelham (Rockingham Co. [NH] deed 880:350). The Simeon Powers shown on the 1790/1 census for Ferrisburg, Addison Co., VT with three males over 16, three males under 16 and three females is perhaps this Simeon Powers. A Simeon Powers, age 73 of Cuyahoga Co., OH, applied for a Revolutionary war pension 2 June 1818, stating that he enlisted at Charlestown, NH. In 1820 he had a wife aged 76 and no children dependent on him and he had lived with a son (not named) for a number of years (Revolutionary pension file S40284, BLW #489-100). Children, born at Rutland, Vermont: 1. Simeon Powers, b. 6 Feb 1769; n.f.r. 2. William Powers, b. 23 Sept 1770; n.f.r. 3. Joseph Powers, b. 6 Sept 1773; n.f.r. 4.

Although Joseph’s birth date is given as 7 Sept 1748 on his gravestone, this would seem to be an impossibility, given the birth dates of sisters Hannah and Mary; the difference between 27 Aug and 7 Sept can be explained by the 1752 calendar change, but the discrepancy between 1748 and 1750 is not so easily explained. Evidently Joseph was not quite as old as he and/or his family believed. Joseph was a soldier in the Revolution. In his pension application of 6 April 1818 he stated that he had supported a family of 21 children of which 18 were then living (Pension application W18772).

5.3 SIMON5 HARTWELL (John4, Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 28 September 1722 (CBMD 107) and he died there 16 August 1783, in his 61st year (CBMD 434), as a result of stumbling in a hole in the fifty-acre meadow near his residence and receiving a cut in the thigh by a scythe (HOA). He married at Concord, 13 February 1752 (CBMD 184), MARY WOOLEY, who was born there 18 January 1722/3 (CBMD 107) and died at Hillsborough, New Hamp- shire, 18 October 1806 (HOA), daughter of Samuel and Mary (—) Wooley. Mary Hartwell is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Carlisle consisting of one female, so she must have moved to Hillsborough after that date. Children, born as indicated: +6.1 i. JOHN6 HARTWELL, b. Carlisle, 10 April 1753 (CVR 18); m. SUSANNA FOSTER. +6.2 ii. MARY HARTWELL, b. Carlisle, 18 Aug 1755 (CVR 18); m. EBENEZER STOW. +6.3 iii.

5.4 SARAH5 HARTWELL (John4, Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 23 November 1725 (CBMD 115) and she died at Littleton, 12 April 1785, age 60 (LVR 150) or 23 April 1785 (Gs:Old Common Burying Ground; church record says she was buried 14 April). She married at Concord, the Rev. Mr. Daniel Bliss officiating, 11 April 1749 (CBMD 175), WILLARD MERIAM, who was born at Littleton, 6 September 1723 (LVR 13, 24) and died there 15 December 1811, age 89 (LVR 352), son of John and Hannah (—) Meriam. After Sarah’s death, Willard married second, 29 September 1785 (LVR 232), MARTHA “PATTY” PHIPPS, who was born at 188 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Charlestown, 24 June 1735 (ChVR 340) and died at Littleton, 24 October 1793 “in the 60th yr of her age” (LVR 363), daughter of Solomon and Elizabeth (—) Phipps. Willard is shown on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Littleton consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16 and four females. It is not known who the extra people are. Willard married third, 29 May 1794 (LVR 237), ELIZABETH PHIPPS, who was born at Charlestown, 3 April 1730 (ChVR 308) and died at Littleton, 18 July 1817, age 86 (LVR 354), sister of his second wife. Children, all recorded at Littleton (LVR 62): i. SARAH MERIAM, b. 16 Jan 1749[/50]; d. 2 July 1764, age 14y 5m 16d (LVR 363). ii.

5.5 DAVID5 HARTWELL (John4, Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Concord, 22 January 1730/1 (CBMD 125) and he died of cancer, probably at Carlisle, 8 April 1815 (HOA). He married at Carlisle/Concord, 23 October 1755 (CVR 56; CBMD 191, with bride as “Ruth”), RACHEL WOOLEY, who was born at Concord, 12 August 1733 (CBMD 134) and died there 14 April 1799, age 65 (CBMD 434), daughter of Samuel and Mary (—) Wooley, and sister to Mary who married David’s older brother Simon (see #5.3). David was a farmer on part of his father’s farm in the northern part of Concord (HOA). He is perhaps the “David Hartwell, Ser- geant, Capt. James Rusel’s (Russell’s) co., Col. Eleazer Brooks’s regt.; service 5 days; company marched to Dorchester 4 March 1776 to reinforce the army” (MS&S VII:391), although this service could also apply to his son, David Jr. He is almost certainly the “Daniel” Hartwell shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a Fifth Generation 189 household in Carlisle consisting of three males over 16 and five females, as this matches with his known family at this time. Children, all recorded at Concord: 6.5 i. SARAH6 HARTWELL, b. 5 Sept 1757 (CBMD 200); d. Carlisle, of “old age” 27 March 1850, age 92y 6m 28d (MA VRs 49:43); unmarried. +6.6 ii.

BETTY/BETSEY HARTWELL, b. 14 Nov 1773 (CBMD 250); death record not found; m. Carlisle/Chelmsford, 14 June 1810 (CVR 56; ChVR 245), apparently as his second wife, REUBEN PARKER, b. Chelmsford, 20 Dec 1771 (ChVR 110), son of Reuben and Sarah (Kimball) Parker.

Descendants of Ebenezer4 and Rachel (Farnsworth) Hartwell

5.6 EBENEZER5 HARTWELL (Ebenezer4-3, John2, William1) was born at Groton, 21 April 1736 (GVR 1:106) and he died there -- April 1767 (GVR 2:229). He married at Groton, 7 December 1763 (GVR 2:82), as her second husband, MARY (NICHOLS) FARNSWORTH, who was born ca. 1739 and died at Groton 19 March 1832, age 93 years (GVR 2:229), widow of Ebenezer Farnsworth Jr., whom she married 20 February 1755 and by whom she had three sons. Although both HOA and the Farnsworth genealogy claim that Ebenezer Hartwell married Mary Farnsworth, daughter of Matthias 190 Descendants of William1 Hartwell and Abigail (Shedd) Farnsworth, his wife’s true identity is proved by the following deposition dated 24 June 1778 and signed by Mary Hartwell’s mark: The widow Mary Hartwell of Groton Testifies & saith that her Son Edmund Farnsworth went & Lived with a man at acton and was to have been bound as an apprentice if he had liked his place; but being Discontented, he inlisted into the army in the Sixteenth year of his age, upon which his master never paid him any wages and withheld his Cloathing– That he served as a Soldier in Capt. Moors Compy and went to York; after his return from York came to Groton and lived with the Dopenant all winter and on the 17th of march 1777, inlisted into the Continental army for during the Warr & Received his Bounty from Groton and lived with her untill he marched again (S. A. Green, Groton During the Revolution, p.166.) S. A. Green also credits Mary with donating one pair of stockings to the army on three different occasions. Mary is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Groton consisting of two females (probably herself and her daughter Molly). Children, born at Groton: 6.12 i. MOLLY6 HARTWELL, b. 22 Oct 1764 (GVR 1:107); apparently living in 1790, she may be the Molly Hartwell who m. Groton, 1 Oct 1810 (GVR 2:83), as his 3rd wife, ELIJAH PIERCE. No death record for a Mary or Molly Pierce has been found. 6.13 ii. LUCY HARTWELL, b. 14 May 1766 (GVR 1:106); d. infancy (HOA).

5.7 OLIVER5 HARTWELL (Ebenezer4-3, John2, William1) was born at Groton, 22 April 1739 (GVR 1:107) and he died at Norwich, Chenango Co., New York, 17 July 1835 (Gs:Norwich Cemetery; Rev. Pension File S-44187). Oliver’s somewhat questionable biography as given in HOA reads: [M]ar. (1) RUTH FARNSWORTH, b. at Groton 22 March 1740, d. in Canada, age 100, dau. William and Ruth (Hobart) Farnsworth. (She m. 2d hus as his 2d w. 30 Sept. 1770 Ezekiel Foster, b. about 1730 in Mass., d. 29 Jan. 1819). [Oliver] mar. 2d w. HANNAH BENEDICT, who d. 28 July 1785, age 38, buried in Canaan Valley Cemetery, No. Canaan, Conn. . . . Oliver and Ruth were divorced, and after the birth Fifth Generation 191

of their son, Olive [sic], he went to Conn., where he re-married, removed in a few years to Dutchess Co., NY, and later to Norwich, Chenango Co., NY, where he died. . . He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis. Either he believed his first born dead, or was disposed to cast aside the past and begin life de nova in his new surroundings. Attempts to document these statements have so far resulted in no evidence of a marriage (or a divorce) between Oliver and Ruth Farnsworth, no record of a son named Oliver born to them, or any record of a second marriage for Ruth. The Shattuck Memorial by Lemuel Shattuck [1855], rather quaintly states that [Oliver’s] “mother, Ruth Farnsworth, afterwards married, removed to Canada, and died over 100 years of age,” the “afterwards” presumably referring to Oliver’s birth. In 1760 Oliver was given permission by the Groton selectmen to enlist in Captain Farrington’s company, Col. William Lawrence’s regt. for His Majesty’s service in Canada, and his name appears on the roll of men who enlisted 14 February to 9 April 1760 (Green, Samuel A., Groton During the Indian Wars [1883]). Since this service is about the time of his supposed marriage to RUTH FARNSWORTH, it is possible that Oliver never knew that he had left her with child, and the story of the marriage may have been concocted to protect her reputation. As was the custom in those days, Ruth would have named the child for its purported father, regardless of whether the father acknowledged (or knew about) the child. Oliver, perhaps following his step-father, Dr. Benjamin Chase, apparently went to Connecticut ca. 1764, where he soon married, as her second husband, HANNAH (BENEDICT) OSBORN, who died at North Canaan, CT, 28 July 1785 (Gs:Canaan Valley Cemetery), daughter of Benjamin4 (Benjamin3, John2, Thomas1) and Hannah (Bostwick) Benedict, and widow of (–) Osborn (Benedict Genealogy 2:38). It is interesting that in his will, written 20 September 1779, Benjamin “Benedick” of Canaan, CT, left to daughters Hannah and Rachel, “money I paid toward the farm where Oliver Hartell(?) lives equally” (Donna Valley Russell, Sharon, Conn., Probate Records, 1757- 1783, 71). Benjamin’s will also specifies that “certain stock” be given 192 Descendants of William1 Hartwell to Noah Osborn, leading to speculation that Noah might be a son of Hannah’s by her first marriage. Oliver was in Norwich, New York, before 25 August 1818, when he applied for a pension. His application states that he was a resident of Norwich, NY, 78 years of age, and was a resident of Canaan in the State of Connecticut in 1776 when he enlisted as a private for the term of one year in the Continental Service of the United States. He was attached to the company commanded by Captain Cochran and the Regiment commanded by Colonel Samuel Elmore of the Regular Continental Troops, and continued to serve until sometime in the month of February 1777, when he was honor- ably discharged at Fort Deighton (Dayton) near the German Flats on the Mohawk River in the State of New York. He further states that he is in reduced circumstances, has no property or means of support but the industry of his own hands, and is now unable to do any labor or work and is truly indigent and necessitous and in need of the assistance of his country for support (Revolutionary Pension File #17225). On 4 January 1820, Wyatt Chamberlin of Gilford and John Smith of Smithville in the County of Chenango, attested before Judge Isaac Sherwood that they served with Oliver Hartwell under the command of Capt. Joel Dickerson in the Regiment commanded by Col. Samuel Elmore. On 11 October 1820, Oliver, still resident in Norwich, 81 years old, testified that he had secured a pension certificate dated 30 May 1820 and that he had not since that time “disposed of any property with intent to bring myself under the provisions of an act of Congress to provide for persons engaged in the Revolutionary War.” He further stated that he was a cooper and so infirm that he was unable to do any labor of consequence. [Note: This pension file makes no mention of Oliver’s presence at the surrender of Cornwallis. It may be that this was an embellishment added by his descendants to impress Mr. Densmore. Several descendants of Oliver have joined the DAR on the basis of Oliver’s service from Groton, but since he left Groton before the Revolution began, this service must apply to some other Oliver.] Fifth Generation 193

Descendants of Samuel4 and Sarah (Holden) Hartwell

5.10 SARAH5 HARTWELL (Samuel4, Ebenezer3, John2, William1) was born at Groton, 19 March 1737/8 (GVR 1:107) and she died there 5 May 1798, in her 61st year (Diary; GVR 2:266 also gives 1796). She married at Groton/Pepperell, 25 May 1758 (GVR 2:83; PVR 174), JOB SHATTUCK, who was born at Groton, 11 February 1735/6 (GVR 1:216) and died there 13 January 1819, age 84 (Gs:Old Cemetery; GVR 2:266), son of William Jr. and Margaret (Lund) Shattuck. After Sarah’s death, Job married second, 26 May 1800 (GVR 2:155), ELIZABETH (LAKIN) GRAGG, widow of John Gragg. Elizabeth died at Groton, 1 June 1824 (GVR 2:265). Sarah is one of the rare women recognized by the DAR for their contribution to the Revolutionary War effort (DAR Application #470199). She was one of the band of women who, in April 1775, arrested Leonard Whiting of Hollis, NH, a noted Tory, bearing dispatches from Canada to the British in Boston. 194 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Job Shattuck “was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and later, during the Revolution, he was engaged at Lexington and Bunker Hill. Subsequently he was commissioned a captain, serving with zeal and marked ability in 1776, 1777, and 1779. He was involved in Shays’ Rebellion and had the courage and ability to become conspicuous. He was arrested, tried and sentenced to be hanged. His unblemished character and his former good service to his town and to the state could not be set aside and he was pardoned. Subsequently he enjoyed the confidence and respect of his townsmen” (Thirty Dunstable Families, 63). “He was a large land owner, resolute, uncompromising, and a leader among his townsmen.” (HOA).

Descendants of Peter4 and Mary (Coleman) Hartwell

5.19 ABRAHAM5 HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born probably at Northeast, Dutchess County, New York, 2 June 1743 (HOA) and he died there 24 August 1820, age 78 (Gs:Spencer’s Corners Burying Ground). He married, first, 2 April 1761 (HOA), MARY LAWRENCE, who was born at Northeast, NY, 25 December 1744 (HOA) and died there 10 September 1807, age 64 (Gs:Spencer’s Corners Burying Grund), daughter of “Esquire” Uriah and Mary (Clark) Lawrence. He married second, 24 October 1810 (Dutchess County Wills, Book F, Vol. 12, #2), PATIENCE (—), who outlived him. 216 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Abraham “settled on the turnpike from Salisbury, CT to Rheinbeck, NY, about 3/4 of a mile north west of Spencer’s Corners, buying the land in 1766. He was conspicuous for his great physical strength, and the nerve and daring with which he met and overcame his enemies and those of his country. He was a Captain in the Revolution (DARPI), and more than once detached on special duty to rid his own neighborhood of the cowboys who harried that section of the country unmercifully at frequent intervals during that period” (HOA). Abraham is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Northeast Town, NY, consisting of two males over 16, three males under 16, and five females. In his will, written 12 October 1818 and proved 31 August 1820, Abraham mentions wife Patience, sons Abraham, Lawrence, Niles and Nathaniel, daughters Mary, Chloe, Charlotte, Clarissa’s heirs, Phebe and Sarah, and grandson Luther, son of Abraham. Other references are to “Henry Dakin’s lands, Bazaliel Rudd’s lands, and Hamlin’s lands.” He specified that his wife’s furniture and belongings prior to marriage should be hers and “what she has made since their marriage.” James Winchell and Enos Hopkins were named executors, and the will was witnessed by Thirza Sherwood, Isabel Miller and Yates Perry (Dutchess County Wills, Book F, Vol. 12, #2). [Note: The marriage of an unidentified Thirza Hartwell to Samuel Sherwood was recorded at Great Barrington, “between 27 April 1818 and 27 April 1819” (GBVR). Since Abraham’s daughter Thirza died in 1798 and would not have witnessed his will in any case, perhaps the Thirza Sherwood who witnessed the will was a niece. More research is indicated.] Children, all born probably at Northeast, Dutchess County, New York, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: 6.29 i. MARY6 HARTWELL, b. 7 Feb 1762; d.

5.20 EBENEZER5 HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born probably at Northeast, Dutchess County, New York, ca. 1746 (calc.) and he died at Castleton, Vermont, 2 April 1813, age 67 (Gs:Cong’l Cemetery; DAR Application Paper #47283 of Louise Northrop Robinson). He married about 1768, HANNAH5 BANGS, who was born probably at Dutchess County, New York, ca. 1747 and died at Wilson, New York, 19 October 1820, daughter of Samuel4 (Jonathan3-2, Edward1) and Hannah4 (John3-2-1 Wing) Bangs. Hannah’s identity is confirmed by Samuel Bang’s will, which mentions daughter Hannah Hartwell. [Note: Hannah is a direct descendant of Elder William Brewster of the Mayflower.] 218 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

In 1768 Ebenezer purchased from Amos Bird of Salisbury, Connecticut, land in Castleton, Vermont, although he apparently did not move there until about 1786. Ebenezer and his brother Abraham signed the “Association” in June or July 1775 at Northeast, New York, as reported by Uriah Lawrence, Esquire, committee. He was a sergeant in Capt. Abraham Hartwell’s co., Col. James Vanderburgh’s Regiment, as shown by a payroll dated Clinton, NY, 25 September 1778; service 20 days, and his name also appears on the list of “Land Bounty Rights” (DAR Application Paper 47283). Ebenezer is listed on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in Castleton, VT, consisting of three males over 16 years (prob. himself, Ebenezer and John), five males under 16 (prob. James, Coleman, Ira, Thomas and Oramel), and five females (prob. wife Hannah and daughters Asenath, Roxana, Sarah and Hannah). In his will, dated 1 April 1813, and allowed 7 April 1813 (Fair Haven, VT Probates, Book 8:532), Ebenezer named beloved wife Hannah, and gave the following bequests: to sons Peter and James $4 each; to sons Ebenezer, John and Thomas $50 each; to daughters Sina Gill and Roxy Castle $10 each; to daughter Salla Porter $2; sons Coleman, Ira, Oramel and daughter Hannah Hartwell received the residue of the estate. Son Hiram is also mentioned, but son Horace is not. However, Fair Haven deeds show that Horace sold his share of Ebenezer’s estate to Coleman Hartwell on 12 April 1816 (Fair Haven Deeds 5:100), leading to speculation that perhaps Horace’s name was misread as Hiram when the will was transcribed into the Fair Haven probate book. [Note: Several Rutland County Vermont court records relate to “Horace Hartwell alias Stephen Gary alias William Munson.” This compiler has photocopies of these court records, but they do not serve to shed any light on whether there was a Horace Hartwell who used the name Stephen Gary, or whether Ruth Hartwell’s purported husband, Stephen Gary, used the alias Horace Hartwell. It is interesting that Ebenezer did not mention either Ruth or Horace in his will, although Vermont newspaper articles show that he did have a daughter named Ruth. Possibly she died before he wrote his will.] Fifth Generation 219

Assuming that Ebenezer named his children in chronological order (which may not be the case), the listing in his will differs somewhat from the listing given in the 1962 Supplement to HOA, which revised and corrected the listing in the 1956 edition, copied verbatim from Densmore’s 1887 work on the Hartwell family. This list is evidently based on copies of Bible records obtained by Isabel (Treadwell) Towne, who did a great deal of genealogical research on her lines during the 1920s and 1930s, and to whom much of the information on Ebenezer and Hannah (Bangs) Hartwell, their ancestry and descendants, should be credited. Isabel searched long and hard for the original Bible, which was carried to Oregon by Harriet Sophia (Hartwell) (Deane) Segerdahl, but she was never able to find what happened to it. Isabel’s files contain several copies of transcriptions of these Bible records in different handwritings, but all have the same dates. Curiously, there is less than a 9-month span between the births of three sets of the children: Ebenezer/ John, Thomas/“Roxada” and Oramel/Sarah. Correspondence from Helen (Mrs. Wilfred) Lewis in 1980 provided a date of January rather than HOA’s July 1784 for Thomas Hartwell, thus solving one of the problems. Also, John’s birth date might be explained by the fact that the recorder “forgot” that a new year had started, but this explanation does not apply to Oramel/Sarah. Ebenezer’s gravestone is inscribed: “Here lies my kind companion dear / A mouldering back to clay / For death on him hath laid his hand / But thru the goodness of the Lord / I trust He’s won the prize / Let Angels guard his sleeping dust / Till Jesus bids its rise.” Children, per above mentioned birth record, actual dates uncertain: +6.40 i.

Accord- ing to HOA he was “a man of irregular habits, twice m., had ch by 2d w; left Castleton in 1853 to visit relatives in Niagara Co., NY, not heard from afterwards.” James is shown on the 1850 federal census for Newfane, Niagara, Co., NY, in the household of his brother-in-law, David Porter (see below), so he apparently left Castleton before 1853 (Reel #561:382-3).

6.54 xv. HORACE HARTWELL, b. Castleton, VT, 19 March 1795. Not mentioned in Ebenezer’s will of 1813, Horace sold his share of Ebenezer’s estate to Coleman in 1816 (Fair Haven Deeds 5:100). Since Horace Hartwell was one of the aliases used by Ruth’s purported husband, Stephen Gary, this record may refer to him. According to HOA, Horace “kept stable for racing stock near New York City; unm.” However, HOA uses these exact same words in his biography of Horace Castle, Horace Hartwell’s purported nephew by his sister Roxana. It is not known at this time to which Horace, if either, these words actually apply.

5.22 PETER5 HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born probably at Dutchess County, New York, ca. 1749 (calc.) and he died probably at Granville, Washington Co., New York, sometime after the taking of the 1830 Federal census, when he is listed as the head of a household consisting of one male 80-90 (himself), one female 40-50 and one female 70-80 (wife Olive). He married ca. 1775, OLIVE WALDO, who was born at Windham, Connecticut, 24 November 1753 (Waldo Family in America, NEHGR 52[1898]:225) and died at Granville, New York, 6 December 1848, age 96 (Gs), daughter of John4 (Edward3, John2, Cornelius1) and Jemima (Abbott) Waldo. HOA indicates that after Olive’s death, given as “about 1850,” Peter married a second time, but in view of the fact that he would have been nearly 100 years old when Olive died, plus the fact that census records indicate that he predeceased Olive, this seems highly unlikely. HOA further states that, “they lived in Washington County, NY, and raised a family there,” then proceeds to list only one son, Phipps, “born about 1792.” However, Peter is shown on the 1790 census as the head of a household in Granville, New York, consisting of one male over 16 (himself), one male under 16 (probably Phipps), and two females (perhaps his wife and an unnamed daughter), indicating that he probably had at least two children born before 1790. In 1800 Phipps is shown on the federal census as the head of his own household, making it virtually certain 222 Descendants of William1 Hartwell that he was born at least 20 years prior to the taking of that census. His mother, Olive, had a older brother, Phipps Waldo, who was killed in the Revolution in January of 1776 (Waldo Family, op. cit.). Chances are good that Phipps was her first son, and, since she named him in honor of this brother, he was probably born not long after the brother’s death. Other indications that Phipps was much older than HOA says are discussed under the biography of Phipps himself (see #6.55). It is apparent that HOA skipped an entire generation. Further research on Peter4 and Peter5 Hartwell might reveal more data on this branch of the family. Children, born probably at Granville, New York: +6.55 i. PHIPPS6 HARTWELL, b. ca. 1776 (calc.); m. ELIZABETH MCDONALD. 6.56 ii. UNNAMED DAUGHTER, b. ca. 1785 (calc.); prob. unmarried.

5.23 SARAH5 “SALLY” HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born probably near Carmel, Dutchess County, New York, 12 July 1751 (HOA) and she died at Amenia, New York, 8 March 1836, age 84y 7m 27d (Gs:Spencer’s Corners Burying Ground). She married, ca. 1772, JAMES FOWLER5 REYNOLDS, who was born at Greenwich, Connecticut, 1 January 1746 and died at Amenia, New York, 1 August 1825, age 80 (Gs:Spencer’s Corners Burying Ground), son of James4 (James3, John2-1) and Phebe (Fowler) Reynolds.

5.25 JAMES5 HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born probably at or near Carmel, Dutchess County, New York, ca. 1750 and he died after 1800, when he is listed on the 1800 federal census. According to HOA “there is no proof of any description that James was the son of Peter. However, it is so stated in the Farwell Genealogy, and in Cutter’s Northern New York, authority in both cases unknown, but the fact that James did live in Carmel lends some color to the statement.” HOA further states that James “served as a private in the Revolution in Col. John Field’s Dutchess County Regiment, Capt. David Hecock’s company.” James appears on the 1790 federal census for South East, Dutchess Co., NY, with two males over 16, four males under 16, and two females. HOA concludes that this means he had one son over 16, four sons under 16 and one daughter, plus his wife, and while that interpretation of the census figures may very well be correct, it is not necessarily so, since the 1790 census does not indicate relationships. There is a James Hartwell Jr. on the 1810 Census, leading one to conclude that the two males over 16 on the 1800 census probably are James and a son of the same name. No marriage record has been found for James, but his wife may have been named MARY (—), as a Mary Hartwell, age 94, was found on the 1850 federal census living in the household of Orrin Jenks. More research needs to be done on this family. Children, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: +6.57 i. JAMES6 HARTWELL, b. 24 June 1771; m. SARAH WOOD. +6.58 ii. WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. ca. 1777; m.

5.26 THOMAS5 HARTWELL (Peter4, John3-2, William1) was born at Fredericksburg, Dutchess County, New York, 15 July 1759 (Rev. Pension File #S13301) and he died at Rome, New York, 15 July 1835 (Gs:Old Niles Burying Ground; HOA has 16 Aug 1838). Thomas was “of Fredericksburg, New York” when he enlisted in the spring of 1776 and served as a private in Capt. Joshua Barnum’s company, Col. Humphrey’s New York regiment. He re- enlisted 3 March 1777, in Capt. Philip D. Bevier’s company, Col. Lewis DuBois’s 5th New York regiment, and was severely wounded on 6 October 1777 at Fort Montgomery, “being shot through the ankle and cut on the hip by a bayonet, was captured, taken to New York and confined in the North Church prison and on the Jersey prison ship for one year and 10 months, was then released and later discharged.” He was allowed a pension on his application of 31 August 1832 when he was a resident of Rome, Oneida Co., New York, prior to which he lived in Hoosick (Revolutionary Pension File S13301). In 1778, Thomas apparently went from New London, Connecticut, where his mother was said to have taken him after his father’s death, to Hoosick Falls, and was the first doctor there. He married at Hoosick, New York, Samuel Guthrie, Esq. officiating, 16 August 1784 (NEHGR 82[1928]:255-256), HANNAH ASHE, who was born at Hoosick Falls, ca. 1768 and died 19 April 1829 (HOA), daughter of John and Mary (Green) Ashe. He is shown on the 1790 federal census as head of a household in Hoosick consisting of one male over 16 (himself), four males under 16 and two females, which seems like more children than he had at the time. He evidently moved to Rome, New York, about 1800. “He was a surgeon’s mate in 1791 and a surgeon in 1798. He built the homestead known as the Melinda Wells place, and in 1793 he founded the first Federal Lodge, #33, of the Order of Free Masons. In Rome, he lived on a farm of 100 acres on the road from Rome to Whitesboro . . . mentioned in Rome Medical Records in 1802. . . . Fifth Generation 229

Descendants of Joseph4 and Hannah (Reed) Hartwell

5.27 JOSEPH5 HARTWELL (Joseph4-3, John2, William1) was born probably at Boston, ca. 1740 and he died before 1797, when his 230 Descendants of William1 Hartwell widow was residing in Boston. He married at Charlestown, the Rev. Mr. Thos. Prentice officiating, 31 May 1763 (ChVR 427), ANNA HODGE, who was born ca. 1743 (calc.) and died at Boston, -- December 1813, age 70 (NEHGR 79[1925]:46), parents not identified. [Note: Joseph’s wife is possibly the Ann Hodges who was born at Boston, 2 May 1741, dau. of James and Katherine Hodges (BRC 24:243)]. According to HOA, Joseph “settled in Medford, was a lieutenant during the Revolution, was innkeeper at Metonomy [sic] in 1785.” Mass. Soldiers & Sailors in the Revolution makes no mention of any Lt. Joseph Hartwell from the Boston area, and there is no pension record for either Joseph or his widow. Although HOA accords him five children, born in Medford, the only children of record are Sarah, who died in 1778, and an unnamed son, born 1783, both recorded in Arlington. There is no Hartwell household on the 1790 federal census in the vicinity of Boston. Where HOA obtained his information has not been learned. Children, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: 6.72 i.

Descendants of Edward4 and Elizabeth (Kneeland) Hartwell

5.34 EDWARD5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 22 August 1747 (ERL 297) and he died probably at St. Albans, Maine, 30 March 1844, age 96 (Gs:South Cemetery, Skowhegan, ME). He married at Lunenburg, 9 December 1776 (Cunningham), LYDIA5 ITEWH , who was born at Lunenburg, 5 March 1755 (ERL 331) and died at Canaan, Maine, 21 April 1837, daughter of John4 (Josiah3-2, John1) and Mary (Whitney) White. In 1765 Edward was sent with a detachment of soldiers to Kennebec Fort, now Gardiner, Maine (HOA). During the Revolution, Edward Hartwell [of] Fitchburg [was a] Corporal in Capt. Ebenezer Fifth Generation 237

Bridge’s Co., Col. John Whetcomb’s Regt. of Minute-men which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775 to Cambridge; left place of rendezvous 25 April 1775; service 6 days; also Sergeant, Capt. John Fuller’s Co., Col. Asa Whitcomb’s Regt.; company receipts for wages for Aug. and Sept. 1775, dated camp at Prospect Hill; also, company return dated 6 Oct. 1775; also, order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money dated Camp at Prospect Hill, 14 Nov. 1775 (MS&S 7:392). Edward moved to Maine about 1780, and is shown on the 1790 census as the head of a household in Canaan, ME, consisting of one male over 16, seven males under 16, and one female. In his pension application, dated 23 July 1832, Edward stated that he was 84 years of age, was born in Lunenburg, in 1747, lived in Bloomfield, ME, for 48 years, and was now a resident of St. Albans (Pension File #S31087). He “was a remarkable and highly educated man, Maine’s first noteworthy musician and one of its earliest composers. His song book “Chorister’s Companion” published in 1815 is of especial interest because it contains both secular and religious music and it was used in what is now Skowhegan for many years. Other works include ‘Skowhegan,’ which is entirely secular, ‘Independence’ or ‘The Conqueror’s Song’ to be sung on the Fourth of July, ‘Charazin’ made in a great sudden thunder storm in 1697 by his father or grandfather who were also musicians, and several other pieces of music. Some of Edward’s children became well known singers or performers on musical instruments” (Louise Helen Coburn, “Skowhegan on the Kennebec” [1941]).

5.35 ASAHEL5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 24 August 1749 (ERL 297) or 3 September 1751 (Pension File #R4707) and he died at Northumberland, New York, 3 February 1844, age 93y 5m 5d (ibid.). He married at Lunenburg, 3 February 1774 (Cunningham), ABIGAIL WALKER, who was born at Lunenburg, 21 January 1753 (ERL 335) or 3 November 1753 (Pension File #R4707) and died at Saratoga, New York, 10 February 1823 (ibid.), daughter of Obadiah4 (Nathaniel3, Shubael2, Capt. Richard1) and Abigail (Gary) Walker. HOA says Asahel “was a soldier in the Revolution, settled in Westmoreland, NH, removed in 1792 to Stillwater, NY.” Asahel’s application for a Revolutionary pension (R4707) is confusing. Not only does his birthdate and that of his wife not correspond with the Fifth Generation 239 records of the town of Lunenburg, but his Revolutionary service is in doubt. Asahel testified on 31 December 1833 that he had served as a private in the company of John Fuller, and marched to Cambridge on the alarm of 19 April 1775. He was discharged in January 1776, returned to Lunenburg, and again volunteered 1 February 1776, under Capt. William Pope, when he again went to Cambridge, this time for two months. While at Cambridge, General Washington passed through the camp, patted him on the head and told him he was a “fine fellow.” Despite many affidavits to his veracity, his application for a pension was refused on the grounds that the rolls for John Fuller’s company showed a Sergeant Josiah Hartwell, but no Private Asahel Hartwell. Undaunted, Asahel responded that he was sometimes called Josiah, and sometimes Jonah, and sent in the family Bible (written in his own hand) showing his name as “Asahel Jonah” to prove his claim. This did not impress the government, and as late as 1852, Asahel’s heirs were still trying to get the pension. Finally they gave up and asked for a return of the Bible. A receipt, dated Schuylersville, New York, 11 August 1879, and signed by Asahel’s grandson, George W. Hartwell, shows that the Bible was returned to the family. The “Asahel Hartwell, Fitchburg, Private, Capt. Ebenezer Wood’s Co. of Minute-men, Col. Asa Whitcomb’s Regt. which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; returned 30 April 1775; service 12 days” (MS&S) is undoubtedly the same man who applied for a pension in New York, as there is no other Asahel Hartwell to whom this service could reasonably apply. The likelihood is that Asahel was telling the truth about his service, but couldn’t remember the names of his superior officers, something not to be wondered at in a man who apparently couldn’t remember his own birth date. According to his pension application, Asahel lived in Lunenburg and/or Fitchburg, removed to Westmoreland, NH “for about 10 years,” then Stillwater, Saratoga Co., New York, for another 10 years, and finally, Northumberland, New York. He is 240 Descendants of William1 Hartwell listed on the 1790 census as the head of a household in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, consisting of one male over 16 (himself), two males under 16 (Thomas and Josiah), and three females (wife Abigail, daus. Abigail and Prudence). He is apparently still in Westmoreland for the taking of the 1810 census, although this listing could be that of his nephew of the same name. Children, first two born probably at Lunenburg or Fitchburg, last two born probably at Westmoreland, NH (1850 federal census), birthdates per HOA: +6.91 i. ABIGAIL6 HARTWELL, b. 15 March 1778; m. ORRISON WHITFORD. +6.92 ii. PRUDENCE HARTWELL, b. 3 July 1780; m. BENJAMIN ROGERS (see #5.38). +6.93 iii. THOMAS HARTWELL, b. prob. Westmoreland, NH, 22 Sept 1784; m. PHEBE ROGERS. +6.94 iv.

5.36 SOLOMON5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 18 July 1751 (ERL 297) and he died at Worcester, Otsego Co., New York, 22 October 1847 (DAR application paper #397701). He married first, at Fitchburg, Rev. John Payson officiating, 21 September (or December) 1774 (ORF 2:254 gives both dates), DORCAS POLLEY, who was born at Leominster, 24 October 1754 (LVR 115) and died at Worcester, New York, 20 June 1820, age 65 (DAR appl. paper), daughter of Joseph and Dorcas (Coburn) Polley (also see #5.62). Solomon married second, 21 August 1831, as her third husband, MARY (—) (EDDY) HODGES, widow respectively of James Eddy and David Hodges, both soldiers in the Revolution. Mary died 19 February 1853. Solomon was a “Private [in] Capt. Ebenezer Bridge’s co., Col. John Whetcomb’s regt. of Minute-men, which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775 to Cambridge; left place of rendezvous 3 May 1775; service 14 days; also, Capt. William Thurlo’s co.; travel Fifth Generation 241 out and home 180 miles; service at 20 miles per day, 9 days; mileage (180 miles) also allowed; company marched on an alarm at Bennington 22 Aug. 1777, under command of Maj. Ebenezer Bridge by order of Gen. Stark and Col. Warner and was dismissed by Gen. Lincoln after proceeding 90 miles” (MS&S). Solomon is listed on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Fitchburg, consisting of one male over 16, three males under 16, and five females, which matches perfectly with his known family at that time. In 1832, Solomon applied for and received a pension for his Revolutionary service (Pension File #13329). Children, all by first wife, all born at Fitchburg (as recorded by Phineas Hartwell, town clerk) (ORF 2:323-4): +6.95 i. DORCAS6 HARTWELL, b. 4 Aug 1775; m. JOHN RAND. +6.96 ii.

5.38 MARTHA5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 14 August 1755 (ERL 297) and she died at Stillwater, New York, ca. 1820 (HOA). She went with her brother, Asahel, to Westmoreland, New Hampshire, and married 4 October 1784 (HOA), BENJAMIN ROGERS, who emigrated later to Stillwater, NY. 242 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

[Notes: 1) Since it is doubtful if Asahel went to Westmoreland much before 1790, it is possible that Martha and Benjamin Rogers preceded him there; 2) HOA’s cryptic remark that Benjamin and Martha “may have been the parents of Benjamin Rogers and Prudence-6 Hartwell,” must mean that they may have been the parents of Benjamin who married Prudence6 Hartwell, since Asahel’s pension file clearly shows that he was the father of Prudence (Hartwell) Rogers.] Child, per HOA: i. BENJAMIN ROGERS, m. PRUDENCE6 HARTWELL (see #6.92).

5.39 JOHN5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 2 April 1758 (ERL 297) and he died at Rush, Monroe County, New York, 28 September 1832 (Pension File 544197). He married first, ca. 1779 (calc.), HANNAH MOORE, who died ca. 1793, parents not identified. He married second, ca. 1802 (HOA), MERCY CARTWRIGHT, who was born at Sharon, Connecticut, ca. 1762 and died 5 February 1826 (HOA). He married third, ca. 1827, MARY (BUGBEE) BROWN, about whom nothing further is known. John Hartwell of Lunenburg served as a “private [in] Capt. Joseph Bellows’s co.; enlisted 1 Oct 1777; service to 19 Oct 1777, 25 days, at Saratoga, including 7 days (140 miles) travel home; also, Capt. Elisha Jackson’s co.; enlisted 25 June 1778 [service not given]; roll dated Middleton, RI, 27 Aug 1778; also, Capt. Benjamin Edgell’s co., Col. John Jacobs’s regt.; enlisted 25 June 1778; service, 6 mos. 9 (also given as 6 mos. 11) days, including travel (80 miles) home; enlistment to expire 1 Jan 1779; also, same co. and regt.; muster roll dated Freetown, 13 Sept 1778” (MS&S). [Note: John’s service is extraordinarily similar to that of his brother Samuel.] Efforts to “track” John and reconstruct his family have been difficult. HOA states that “about the age of 20 he went to Windham Co., VT, in the neighborhood of his brother, Asahel, who lived in Westmoreland, NH. He appears to have transacted business in Fifth Generation 243

Putney, VT, the records of which place do not mention his marriage or the births of his children, which may have occurred in Athens, where he apparently was a member of the Baptist church. Tradition assigns him a residence in Rutland Co., probably doubtful” (HOA). John is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a family in Athens, VT, consisting of one male over 16 (himself), three males under 16 (probably John, Thomas and Benjamin) and three females (probably wife Hannah and daughters Polly and Sophia). “About 1790 [sic] or 91, he removed to Delaware Co., NY, settling on Charlotte River, living in Harpersfield, Cartwright (Kortwright) or both, six or eight years, then going to Elmira, and later to Rush, NY, where he died” (HOA). John is, indeed, shown on the 1800 census as the head of a family in Delaware Co., NY, consisting of one male under 10 (prob. Daniel), two males 10-16, one male 26-45, one female under 10, one female 10-16, one female 16-26, and one female 26-45. “He was a blacksmith, a soldier of the Revolution; according to tradition helped to forge the chain that barred the North River against British vessels. This, however, presupposes that he was in New York state before going to VT, and is doubtful. He may have helped later on repairs or fastenings of the chain after entering the army. He was a local Baptist preacher” (HOA). John was a 60-year old resident of Rush, New York, when he applied for a pension on 27 April 1818, stating that he enlisted at Lunenburg, Massachusetts. The pension application mentions only sons Daniel and Thomas, an unnamed daughter, wife Mary, and her son Stephen, under 10 years of age (Pension File #544917). His will mentions his wife Mary and his children: Polly, wife of William Straight of Ohio; Elsy, wife of (–) Westfall; Daniel of Cattaraugus Co.; John B. of Avon, NY; Benjamin of Ohio, and John, a son who died leaving seven children in Ohio (Tree Talks 5:11, citing File 1833-11). Children by first wife, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: +6.102 i. MARY6 “POLLY” HARTWELL, b. prob. Athens, VT, -- Dec 1780; m. WILLIAM STRAIGHT. 244 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

5.40 SAMUEL5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 20 April 1760 (ERL 297) and he died at Worcester, Otsego County, New York, 8 June 1847, age 87 (Gs:Worcester, NY). He married, ca. 1798 (HOA), as her second husband, ANNA (HAWLEY) BARNUM, who was born at ?, Connecticut, ca. 1758 and died at Worcester, New York, 12 December 1844, age 86 (Gs). Anna’s parents have not been identified, but her death record identifies her as “former wife of D. H. Barnum.” Anna Hawley married at Fairfield, Connecticut, 8 May 1793 (IGI), David H. Barnum. Samuel served as a “Private [in] Capt. Elisha Jackson’s co.; enlisted 25 June 1778 [service not given]; roll dated Middleton, RI, 27 Aug. 1778; also, Capt. Benjamin Edgell’s co., Col. John Jacob’s regt.; service 6 mos. 11 days, including travel (80 miles) home; enlistment to expire 1 Jan. 1779; also, same co. and regt.; muster roll dated Freetown, 13 Sept. 1778; also, same co. and regt.; muster roll dated Freetown, 18 Oct. 1778; reported sick and absent” (MS&S). [Note similarities of service with that of his brother John, Fifth Generation 245 above.] Samuel applied for, and received, a pension; his brother Solomon attested to his service (Revolutionary Pension file #S10817). Children, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: 6.110 i. KNEELAND6 HARTWELL, b. ca. 1801; never married, a somewhat unreliable Methodist exhorter, taking frequent fits of wandering, thought to have been found dead in Delaware Co., NY. [Note: Kneeland Hartwell, age 50, is listed on the 1850 federal census for Worcester, Otsego Co., NY, as head of a household consisting of himself and Ann Smith, age 48, no doubt his sister (Reel #579:167, listed in index as “Freeland”).] +6.111 ii. ANNA HARTWELL, b. 19 Dec 1803; m. RICHARD SMITH. +6.112 iii. ROXA HARTWELL, b. 8 May 1805; m. SILAS JOHNSON.

5.41 LYDIA5 HARTWELL (Edward4-3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 11 April 1765 (ERL 298) and she died at Alstead, New Hampshire, 10 March 1796, age 31y (Gs:North Cemetery, East Alstead). The inscription on her gravestone reads: “Affliction for long time I bore / Physicians were in vain / Till death gave ease when God / [was pleased] to ease me of my pain.” According to HOA Lydia “went to visit her sister, Elizabeth Arch, in Alstead, NH, met EDWARD SAVAGE, of English birth, who afterwards returned to England.” A somewhat different version of Edward’s parentage is given in The History of Acworth, NH, which states that Edward was the 3rd generation in America, a descendant of Edward Savage of Rutland, but “went to Europe at the birth of his son, Edward, and death of his wife, 1786 [sic].” Both versions agree that Lydia’s son was raised by his aunt, Elizabeth Arch. Following clues given in The History of Acworth, NH about the origin of the Savage family in Rutland, has revealed that the father of Lydia’s child may very well have been Edward Savage, the American portrait painter and engraver noted for his portraits of George Washington, who sat for him several times (Encycl. Americana [1957] 24:321). Edward was born at Princeton, 26 November 1761 and 246 Descendants of William1 Hartwell died there 6 July 1817, age 56 (PVR 187), the son of Seth and Lydia (Craige) Savage. He did go to England in 1791 to study under Benjamin West, and later went to Italy, but returned to the United States and opened a studio in Philadelphia. He married at Boston, 14 November 1795, SARAH SEAVER, who is named as Edward’s widow and was apparently the mother of the children named in the administration of his estate: Charlotte B., Lydia, George, Sarah S., Elisabeth S., and Stephen B. Savage; the two youngest children, Elisabeth and Stephen, were under the guardianship of William Stedman. The estate was administered by Edward Savage, whose relationship to the deceased is not stated, nor is his residence given, although he received $291.42 for his trouble in administering the estate (Worcester County Probate File A:52130). There are also no references to Hartwells or Archs in the probate file, but that may not be significant. The families probably tried to cover up the fact that Edward returned to America and married another, while Lydia languished in Alstead. Child of Lydia Hartwell and Edward Savage: i. EDWARD SAVAGE, b. prob. Fitchburg, 25 Dec 1786 (Cunningham; HOA); d. Acworth, NH, ca. 1862, age 75y 8m (History of Acworth); m.

Edward was a Capt. in the War of 1812; settled in Acworth, NH, in 1824. Children (History of Acworth, NH): 1. Edward Hartwell Savage, b. ca. 1811; m. (1) Zoe Huston, b. 4 Oct 1808, d. 1 Nov 1859; m. (2) Fanny M. Baker, dau. of Capt. Nathaniel Baker of York, ME. E. H. Savage was a merchant in Marlow, NH, removed to Boston, where he was appointed a member of the Boston Police Dept. in 1850, Captain of Police in 1854, and Deputy Chief in 1861; author of History of the Boston Watch and Police 1631-1865 Fifth Generation 247

and Annual Report of the Chief of Police [City of Boston] for 1871 (NEHGR 26[1872]:214). Four children. 2. James Hervey Savage, b. 6 Nov 1820; d. 13 March 1850, age 29y 4m 7d; m. Clarissa E. Bartlett (History of Acworth).

5.43 JONATHAN5 HARTWELL (Jonathan4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 25 October 1748 (ERL 298) and he died at Lancaster, New Hampshire, 11 May 1800 (DAR Application #542256). He married, ca. 1776, NANCY DAGGETT, who was born probably in Ireland (Lincoln Genealogy) ca. 1753 and died at Burke, Vermont, 21 April 1838 (Buckman Genealogy), parents not determined. Nancy married second, as his second wife, EDWARD BUCKMAN/ BUCKNAM, who was born 21 June 1741 and died 29 March 1813, a scout in the Revolution (DARPI). Jonathan “went to New Hampshire, locating first in Walpole, the church in which town dismissed them in 1779 to the church in Lunenburg [MA], from whence he removed soon after to Lancaster, 250 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

NH, before the close of the Revolution, appearing in one case as petitioner for a garrison as protection against Indians, in another as petitioner for a new road” (HOA). [Note: This removal from Lunenburg to New Hampshire, back to Lunenburg, and back to New Hampshire, caused Cunningham, in his History of Lunenburg, Mass. to badly confuse two Jonathan Hartwells.] Jonathan was apparently living in Walpole, New Hampshire when he served as “Sergeant in the reinforcements sent from Cheshire County, NH at the requisition of General Gates to reinforce the army at Ticonderoga, October 1776, service 25 days” (NH Revolutionary Rolls, IX:103). He also served “as Sergeant in Capt. Benj. Flood’s [Alstead, NH] Co., Col. Benj. Bellows’ regiment, which went to reinforce the United States Continental Army at Saratoga under the command of General Gates, 21 Sept. to 21 Oct. 1777” (ibid. II:369). “He was a justice of the peace in Northumberland, NH in 1783 . . . taxed in Lancaster 1791-5, and hog reeve in 1795. The site of his dwelling is about two miles south of Lancaster village, in a pasture by the roadside; his grave, unmarked by a headstone, on a knoll in the same enclosure” (HOA). Jonathan is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Lancaster, NH, consisting of one male over 16, three males under 16, and four females.

Descendants of Joseph4 and Tabitha (Dodge) Hartwell

5.51 JOSIAH5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 7 August 1748 (ERL 298) and he died at Sangerfield, Oneida County, New York, 19 (DARPI) or 23 Novem- ber 1822 (Gs:? Cemetery), age 75y. He married first, at Lunenburg, 27 December 1770, REBECCA WALKER, who was born at Lunenburg, 16 August 1746 (ERL 335) and died 13 May 1816, age 70 (Gs), daughter of Obadiah and Abigail (Gary) Walker (see also #5.35). Josiah married second, RHODA (—), who evidentally outlived him, as she is mentioned in his will. Josiah and Rebecca lived in the southeastern part of Lunenburg. Both were admitted to the church 15 December 1771. Josiah was a “Sergeant in Capt. John Fuller’s co., Col. Asa Whitcomb’s regt.; muster roll dated 1 Aug. 1775; enlisted 25 April 1775; service, 3 mos. ½ day; also, company return dated 6 Oct 1775; reported deserted 21 Sept 1775.” Later he served as a “private in Capt. Joseph Bellows’s co.; marched 22 Aug 1777; travel out and home 180 miles; service at 20 miles per day, 9 days, with Northern army; company marched on an alarm at the Northward under command of Maj. Bridge at request of Gen. Stark and Col. Warner” (MS&S). There is no evidence that he was a Captain in the Revolu- tion as stated by HOA. The family moved to Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire about 1779, where Josiah is shown on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household consisting of one male over 16, one male under 16, and two females. They returned to Lunenburg about 1793, and were readmitted to the church from the church in Fitzwilliam on 3 September 1797. Josiah was on the school committee in 1794, and a selectman in 1798 (Cunningham). As we have seen, his uncle, Asahel Hartwell, left Josiah “formerly of Fitzwilliam, NH, now of 260 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Lunenburg,” all his real estate, and named Josiah executor of his estate (Worcester County Probate File A:27652), possibly because Josiah named his first born son Asahel. Josiah must have moved to New York after 1804, the date of the settling of Asahel’s estate. Possibly the confession in church of his brother John’s wife, Polly, of adultery with him (Cunningham) influenced his decision to leave Lunenburg. In his will, dated at Sangerfield, New York, 23 March 1822, and recorded 5 September 1823, Josiah left 1/3 part of his estate, both real and personal, to wife Rhoda. “Sons Asahel and Joseph, and daughter Rebecca Johnson, deceased, have heretofore received property so much as I intended as their shares in my estate.” Monetary bequests were left to grandsons William S. Johnson, Franklin Johnson, Josiah Johnson and granddaughter Rebecca W. Johnson. Grandson Luther H. Johnson was to be executor, and to receive the farm, and the remainder of the real and personal estate after the death of Rhoda. The will was witnessed by Thomas Jeffers, Norman Benedict, and Atriah Williams (Tree Talks 24:48). Children, all by first wife, born as indicated: +6.124 i. ASAHEL6 HARTWELL, b.

5.53 WILLIAM5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 15 February 1752 (ERL 298) and is the most likely candidate to be the William Hartwell who died at Surry, New Hampshire, 5 April 1814 (History of Westmoreland, NH; History of Surry, NH), although there is only circumstantial evidence to support this theory. HOA, copying Densmore, states that William of Lunenburg “was feeble in mind and body” and died there 31 August 1805, unmarried, but there is no hard evidence to support these statements. As we have seen, Joseph4, in his will, gave William 10 pounds, the same amount he left all his other sons. There is no provision for one of the other children to care for William “during his natural life,” as was the custom when a handicapped child existed in a family. Moreover, the gravestone for the William Hartwell who died 31 August 1805 is distinctly inscribed, “age 36,” indicating someone born ca. 1769—some 17 years after our subject. [Note: William Hartwell, b. ca. 1769, d. 1805, has not been identified as of this writing, but he could possibly be an unrecorded son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Tarbell) Hartwell, who have an unidentified male in their household on the 1790 federal census.] Both Densmore and HOA attributed the wives and children of William Hartwell of Surry, New Hampshire to William6, the son of Joseph5 (William4-3, Samuel2, William1) and Sarah (Skinner) Hartwell (see #6.253). After publication of his 1956 edition, John F. Hartwell received much correspondence from Marie Lucas of Nampa, Idaho, who was trying to identify her great-great-grandfather, Joseph Hartwell. All Marie knew was that her Joseph had married Huldah Andrews and had six children born in New York state before removing to Indiana, where he died in 1829. Using census, land, and court records, Marie came to the conclusion that her Joseph’s father was William6 Hartwell, son of Joseph5 and Sarah (Skinner) of Putney and Lyndon, Vermont. This William had gone from Vermont to New York, and then to Indiana, where he was shown on the 1830 Federal census as “between 70 and 80 years old.” Since the same William could not be in Indiana in 1830, while Fifth Generation 269 having died in Surry, New Hampshire in 1814, a search was made for another William of approximately the same age, and the only one found was William of Lunenburg. An unplaced William Hartwell, who may be the subject of this biography, appears on the 1790 federal census as the head of a household in Fitchburg, consisting of one male over 16, one male under 16 and two females. The first event that can be definitely ascribed to the William of this biography is his marriage at Westmoreland, New Hampshire, 22 July 1792, to POLLY DAWES (Histories of Surry & Westmoreland, NH, op. cit.). HOA accords this date to William’s marriage with “LUCY” DAWES, and gives no date for the marriage to Polly. Whether William had a previous wife named Lucy Dawes is a matter for speculation, but if the above-cited 1790 census entry applies to this William, then he seemingly had a wife prior to 1790, and her name may well have been Lucy. The fact that William and Polly named their first child Lucy may be an indication of this, although this theory presumes an unrecorded marriage, two (or more) unrecorded births, and two or three unrecorded deaths. On 24 November 1792, shortly after his marriage to Polly, William Hartwell “of Westmoreland” purchased from Thomas Wheelock of Alstead, NH, for 35 pounds, a tract of land in Surry, NH, being Lot #9 in the first range, estimated at 50 acres. Witnesses were Timothy Watts and Elizabeth Watts (Cheshire County Deed 23:194). Despite this purchase, William, Polly, and Lucy Hartwell were warned out of Surry on 18 October 1794 (History of Surry). On 20 March 1795, William Hartwell of Surry sold “10 acres of land I now live on” to Jepthah Dawes and his wife for them to live on “the rest of their natural lives.” This deed was witnessed by Jesse Streeter and David Streeter (Cheshire Co. Deed 26:372). William “Harwall” appears on the 1800 federal census as the head of a household in Surry consisting of two males under 10, two males over 45, two females under 10, one female 26-45, and one female over 45. On 30 June 1801, William Hartwell sold, for $400 paid by Robert Dawes of Harvard, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, goldsmith, a tract of land or farm in Surry, being Lot #9 in the first 270 Descendants of William1 Hartwell range, approximately 50 acres. Witnesses were Mary Daws and Moses Hale, J.P. (Cheshire Co. Deed 37:135). On the 1810 federal census, William Hartwell and “Japher” Daws are shown as joint heads of a household in Surry consisting of one male 10-16, two males over 45, one female 10-16, one female 16-26, one female 26- 45, and one female over 45. Four years after William’s death, on 12 February 1818, widow Polly Hartwell of Surry, NH, for $100, sold Elijah Fuller of Surry land and tenements left her by her late husband, William Hartwell of Surry, deceased. Witnesses were Ariel Carpenter and David Shaw, and “Polly Hartwell, State of Vermont, Windham SS at Rockingham, personally appeared and acknowledged this deed to be her free will . . . .” (Cheshire Co. Warranty Deed 79:51). Curiously, in 1819, the U.S. Collector granted Elijah Fuller, “land of widow Polly Hartwell, she not having paid taxes on same . . . .” (Cheshire Co. Deed 81:247). Elijah Fuller is probably the second husband of William’s purported niece, Polly (Kendall) (Stearns) (Fuller) Kendall (see #5.52-vi above). Efforts to identify the elusive DAWES family have been frustrating. If we assume, as does The History of Westmoreland, that Jepthah was Polly’s father, a reasonable assumption in light of William’s sale of land to Jepthah and his wife “for the rest of their natural lives,” then it would seem that Robert must be a son of Jepthah’s, and a brother to Polly. Robert Daws was “of Boston” when he married there, 8 November 1790, Mary Pain Bentley (BRC 30:115). He appears to have lived in Harvard only from about 1794 until about 1813, when he is called “of Boston” on a deed selling his property in Harvard to Jeremiah Dyer of Lancaster. No records of a Jepthah Dawes have been found; apparently his marriage to “Marah” and the births of his children are all unrecorded.

5.54 RUTH5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 11 April 1754 (ERL 298) and she died probably at Hartford, Vermont, at an unknown date. She married, at Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, 15 January 1776 (Hist. Fitzwilliam), JOSEPH KNEELAND, who was born at Harvard, 22 November 1752 (HVR 68) and died probably at Hartford, Vermont, ca. 1828 (DARPI), son of Joseph and Miriam (Averill) Kneeland. According to HOA, Joseph “lived Fitzwilliam, NH, removed to Thetford, VT” (HOA), but his children’s birth records indicate that he must have gone from Fitzwilliam to Holland [Mass.], and then to Sturbridge, before going to Vermont. Also, the Kneeland Genealogy states that he went to Hartford, Vermont. Further research is encouraged. Children, all recorded at Sturbridge (SVR 77): i.

5.56 BENJAMIN5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 18 July 1759 (ERL 298) and he died at Shirley, 17 March 1844, age 84y 7m 24d (SVR 191: Gs:Shirley Center Cemetery). He married at Leominster, the Rev. Francis Gardner officiating, 15 September 1782 (LVR 212), MARIEL NICHOLS, who was baptized at Leominster, 7 November 1762 (LVR 106) and died “of old age” at Shirley, 23 September 1851, age 89y 3m 17d (MA VRs 58:97; Gs:Shirley Center Cemetery), daughter of Israel and Desire (Holbrook) Nichols. Benjamin was of Lunenburg when he served as “Sergeant, Capt. Elisha Jackson’s co.; enlisted 25 June 1778; [service not given]; roll dated Middleton, RI, 27 Aug 1778; also, Capt. Benjamin Edgell’s co., Col. John Jacobs’s regt.; engaged 25 June 1778; service, 6 mos. 5 days, including travel (80 miles) home; enlistment to expire 1 Jan 1779; also, same co. and regt.; muster rolls dated Freetown, 13 Sept and 18 Oct 1778” (MS&S). [Note: Neither this entry nor the DAR Patriot Index accords Benjamin a higher rank than Sergeant, contradicting HOA’s statement that he was a Captain.] Benjamin is shown on the 1790 census as the head of a household in Shirley, consisting of one male over 16 and five females. He “was educated as a physician, and settled (about 1781) in Shirley, being the first of his profession who established himself in that town after its incorporation. For about 45 years he was the Fifth Generation 273 only physician in the town, and he practiced extensively and successfully in the neighboring towns, as well as in his own. He retained his vigor of body and of mind so that he was able to attend to his professional duties until within a short time of his decease. His obituary appeared in the Worcester Palladium, 8 May 1844” (Cunningham).

5.60 JOHN5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Edward3, John2, William1) was born at Lunenburg, 4 September 1770 (ERL 299) and he died there 1 October 1817, age 47y 0m 27d (Gs:South Cemetery; Cunningham). He married first, at Fitchburg, William Nichols, Esq. officiating, 7 May 1792 (ORF 2:210), “Mrs.” POLLY FARWELL, who was born at Fitchburg, 2 July 1775 (HOA: not in VRs), and died at Lunenburg, 18 282 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

December 1813, age 42 [sic] (Gs:South Cemetery; Cunningham), daughter of Edmund and Mary (Russell) Farwell. She was admitted to the church in Lunenburg, 9 April 1797, and on 28 October 1804, made a confession before the church of adultery with Josiah Hartwell, her husband’s brother (see #5.51). Her gravestone in South Cemetery, Lunenburg, reads “The die is cast, my hope, my fear / My joy, my pain lie buried here / And reader, you ere long must try / This dreadful change as well as I.” John married second, -- April 1814, Mrs. SARAH GOODRICH FAIRBANKS, who was born ca. 1782 and died “suddenly, vomiting, after long general debility, and great emaciation” 12 April 1816, age 34 (Gs:South Cemetery; Cunningham), parents not identified. Her gravestone reads “She kindly says, oh! why complain / That death has made me free? / Why should my pleasure give you pain? / Why will you grieve for me? / Those eyes that clos’d appear to you / Are open’d to eternal view.” John married third, at Leominster, 10 December 1816 (LVR 212), as her second husband, BETSEY (HALE) SNOW, who was born at Leominster, 15 April 1784 (LVR 67), and died there 12 December 1868, age 84y, 7m. 27d (MA Vrs 213.276), daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Wilder) Hale and widow of Lt. WILLIAM SNOW, who died at Leominster, 27 October 1814, age 32. [Note: HOA’s identification of Betsey as the dau. of Moses and Betty (Colburn) Snow of Leominster is incorrect; Betsey was definitely a widow when she married John. Betsey and William Snow were married at Leom- inster, 12 February 1804, and had two children: 1. Susan Elizabeth Snow, b. 8 Oct 1804; d. 8 Dec 1816, age 12 (Gs:Pine Grove Cemetery); 2. George William Snow, b. 8 Feb 1807; n.f.r.] John was a farmer in Lunenburg. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Betsey, on 18 November 1817; Betsey Hartwell, Joseph Hartwell, gentleman, and Lincoln Haywood, yeoman, all of Lunenburg, stood bond. On 30 December 1818, Beraleel Lawrence, guardian for Joseph and William B. Hartwell, Stephen Gibson and Samuel Davis signed their agreement with Betsey’s account of the estate (Worcester County Probate File A:27680). Fifth Generation 283

[Note: Cunningham says William “was under general guardianship in 1842, being mentally imbecile, a ‘non compas-mentus’ as the erudite town clerk calls him . . . living in Ware in 1865.” His death record gives no indication of this, merely stating that he was a farmer. Cunningham may have confused him with some other William Hartwell.]

“Nathan was a housewright, settled near his father, moved, probably to Pembroke or Plympton, returned to Bridgewater, and died there” (HOA).

In 1777 he conceived and executed the daring exploit of capturing Gen. Prescott. He was made Gen. of Militia, and was later wounded in a skirmish with the British at Bristol, RI. [Note: DARPI accords him only the rank of Colonel.] He was elected to the General Assembly from Providence. As the result of a law suit, the cost of which he refused, in principle, to pay, he was ‘detained’ in Danville, VT, for fourteen years, until set at liberty by Lafayette, who discharged the debt.

5.79 SILENCE5 HARTWELL (Samuel4-3-2, William1) was born probably at Stoughton, 21 December 1729 (HOA), although her gravestone indicates that the date was “1730” (BVR 134), and she died at Bridgewater, 19 January 1808 (BVR 2:506, as “dau. of Samuel Hartwell”). She is buried in Scotland Graveyard, Bridgewater. Mar- riage intentions between Silence and SETH LATHROP were published at Bridgewater, 7 December 1754 (BVR 2:161), but “the banns . . . were forbiden by the s[ai]d Silence Hartwell.” Considering that Silence was pregnant at the time, she must have had a good reason not to go through with the marriage. In May 1755, “Silance” Hartwell was fined for fornication and her fine was paid by her brother-in-law, Nathaniel Raynolds (MD 43:62). Nearly nine years after the birth of her son by Seth Lathrop, Silence married, 6 December 1763 (BVR 2:161), ROBERT KEITH, who was born at Bridgewater, 18 October 1742 and died there 10 July 1818 (BVR 2:505), son of Robert and Tabitha (Leach) Keith. Robert was a Sergeant during the Revolution (DARPI). Child by Seth Lathrop: i. SETH LATHROP HARTWELL, “child of Silence,” bap. West Bridgewater, 24 August 1755 (WBVR 47). Both HOA and Mitchell’s “History of Bridgewater” say he is probably Seth Lathrop of South Carolina. Children by Robert Keith, all recorded at Bridgewater: ii.

She married at Stoughton, 17 November 1749 (CVR 63), Rev. Mr. Samuel Dunbar officiating, ROGER4 SHERMAN “of New Milford, CT.” Roger “The Signer” Sherman was born at Newton, 19 April 1721 (NVR 174), and he died at New Haven, Connecticut, 23 July 1793, son of William3 (Joseph2, Capt.

Sherman of New Haven,” REBECCA PRESCOTT, by whom he had eight more children, seven of whom were living at the time of his death (NEHGR 8[1854]:308). Roger “was apprenticed to a shoemaker when a child, but in 1743 he removed to New Milford, Conn., where he was engaged with his brother in keeping a small store. He studied law, politics and mathematics without a teacher, was appointed surveyor for his county in 1745 and for several years made the astronomical observations for an almanac published in New York. In 1754 he was admitted to the bar, served for several terms in the provincial assembly, and in 1761 removed to New Haven, Conn. He became judge of the Court of Common Pleas there in 1765 and served in that position and as judge of the Superior Court for 23 years. He was assistant governor in 1766-85, treasurer of Yale College in 1766-76, and a member of Congress from 1774-91, when he was elected senator in which capacity he served the remainder of his life. He was one of the committee of five to draft the Declaration of Independence, which he afterward signed, was an active member of various war and ordinance committees, served on the treasury board and in 1777 was one of the framers of the original Articles of Confederation. He assisted in the codification of the laws of Fifth Generation 313

5.83 JOSEPH5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Stoughton, 20 August 1728 (CVR 16), and he died at New Milford, Connecticut, 18 April 1811, age 88 years (Gs:New Milford, CT). He married at New Milford, 24 May 1751 (Early CT Marriages, 111), REBECCA SHERMAN, daughter of William and Mehitable (Wellington) Sherman, and sister of Roger “The Signer” Sherman, who married Joseph’s sister Elizabeth (see #5.82). Rebecca was born at Newton, 30 July 1731 and died in Yates County, New York, ca. 1821, age 90. Joseph “removed soon after marriage to New Milford, CT, settled on Second Hill, three miles east of the village, where he bought and improved a large tract of land, part of which was later occupied by his grandson, William D. Hartwell. He was one of the ‘separates’ a number of persons who severed their relations with the church in 1773. His wife later became a follower of Jemima Wilkinson, and accompanied her children, Samuel and Mary Botsford to Yates County, NY” (HOA). Joseph is listed in the DAR Patriot Index by virtue of having served on a committee of inspection on provisions, 13 March 1780 (DAR Application paper #628805; Samuel Orcutt, History of Towns of New Milford and Bridgewater, CT 1703-1882 [1882] p. 221). Joseph appears on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in New Milford, consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16, and two females.

5.84 JOHN5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Samuel3-2 , William1) was born at Stoughton, 15 September 1730 (CVR 16), and he died 24 Sep- tember 1809 (HOA). He married at Stoughton/Wrentham, 12 July 1759 (CVR 264; WVR 2:315), DORCAS THURSTON, who was born at Wrentham, 26 September 1735 (WVR 1:197) and died at the residence of her son-in-law, Simeon Tucker, 19 June 1826 (HOA), daughter of Thomas and Dorcas (Grey) Thurston. John was a farmer and settled near his father (HOA). As we have seen, his father left him all his real estate, wearing apparel, utensils of husbandry, etc., and made him sole executor of his estate. John is undoubtedly the John Hartwell listed on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in Stoughton consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16 and three females.

5.85 ABIGAIL5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Stoughton, 12 July 1733 (CVR 44) and she died at Augusta, Maine, 28 July 1827, age 94 (AVR 2:337). She married at Stoughton, 13 February 1755 (CVR 65), Rev. Mr. Samuel Dunbar officiating, JEREMIAH4 INGRAHAM JR., who was born at Attleboro, 20 or 31 May 1733 (AVR 159) and died at Augusta, Maine, 22 February 1814 (AVR 2:337; HOA has 1813), son of Jeremiah3 (Jared2, Richard1) and Susanna (Tucker) Ingraham. Jeremiah “was a farmer, removed in 1780 to Fort settlement, now Augusta, Maine” (HOA). In her book, A Midwife’s Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich relates how Martha Ballard referred to “Old Lady Ingraham” as another midwife practicing in the Augusta area. Ms. Ulrich is unsure whether this reference was to Beriah Ingraham’s wife or to his mother. It would seem that Martha Ballard, who was born in 1735, must have been referring to the mother, Abigail (Hartwell) Ingraham, since Beriah’s wife, Sarah, born in 1759, would have been younger than Martha. Children, all born at Stoughton (also recorded at Augusta, Maine): i. BERIAH INGRAHAM, b. 8 March 1756 (CVR 68); d.

5.87 RUTH5 HARTWELL (Joseph4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Stoughton, 31 August 1738 (CVR 45), and she died of smallpox, 6 December 1776 (HOA). She married at Stoughton, 26 November 1756 (CVR 65), Rev. Mr. Samuel Dunbar officiating, BENJAMIN BUSSEY, who was born at Stoughton, 26 February 1734 (CVR 68) and died 15 August 1808 (HOA), son of William and Olive (Jordan) Bussey. After Ruth’s death, Benjamin married second, at Stough- ton, 20 August 1778 (CVR 146), RUTH WENTWORTH, who died there, 20 December 1839, age 88 (CVR 214). Children, born at Stoughton: i.

Benjamin “was born in 324 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

the house of Dea. Jonathan Hartwell while his father was absent at sea; settled near Jamaica Plain; endowed a professorship in Harvard College” (HOA). He is listed in the DAR Patriot Index as having served as a Private in the Revolution, but this same entry gives his death as “about 1780” which must be incorrect. Children, per HOA unless otherwise indicated: 1. Benjamin Bussey, b. 16 Oct 1781; bap. Dedham, 15 Jan 1786 (DVR 77); d. 21 Jan 1808. 2. Betsey Bussey, b. 12 March 1783; bap.

HOA’s statement that Jazaniah (usually a male name) was a “partner with his brother, Benjamin, went to England and died on passage” is at odds with the Canton record that calls Jazaniah a “daughter of Benjamin and Hannah.” Further research in wills and deeds might solve this puzzle.

5.94 SAMUEL5 HARTWELL (Ephraim4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 25 June 1742 (CBMD 155) and he died at Lincoln, 12 August 1829, age 87 (LVR 164). Marriage intentions between Samuel Hartwell “of Grafton” and MOLLY ESTABROOK of Rutland were published at Rutland, 10 January 1767 (RVR 149), although the actual marriage apparently did not take place. Samuel was perhaps living on some of the land his father had purchased in “Holdin” and Rutland, though why he would be styled “of Grafton” is not clear. Both Densmore and HOA credit him with being the father of Samuel Estabrook Hartwell, although neither of them mention these marriage intentions, nor do they refer to Molly Estabrook, thereby making it look as though Samuel and Mary Flint had a child two years before they were married. Molly4 Estabrook, daughter of Samuel3 (Daniel2, Rev. Joseph1) and Abigail (Flagg) Estabrook, was born at Sudbury, 22 February 1746[/7] (SVR ?). Except for the baptism of her son, Samuel Estabrook, in Rutland, 12 July 1767 (RVR 38), no further records of Molly have been found. Samuel married at Lincoln, 12 September 1769 (LVR 115), “Mrs.” MARY FLINT, who was born at Concord 22 March 1747 (CBMD 172) and died at Lincoln, 21 or 23 July 1846, age 98 (LVR 164), daughter of Ephraim and Ruth (Wheeler) Flint. [Note: Molly Estabrook’s grandmother was Abigail Flint, but the relationship between Molly and Mary (Flint) Hartwell has not been researched.] Fifth Generation 327

Samuel was a clock maker, and built a house on part of the homestead (HOA). During the Revolution, “Samuel Hartwell,

The Samuel Hartwell House (shown in 1955).

Lincoln, [was] Sergeant, Capt. William Smith’s co. of Minute-men, Col. Abijah Pierce’s regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; service 1 mo. 4 days.” Also, “Quarter Master, Col. Eleazer Brooks’s regt.; list of officers of a regiment drafted from Middlesex Co. militia and ordered to march to Horse Neck by Brig. Oliver Prescott 26 Sept 1776; also, same regt.; engaged 17 Sept 1776; discharged 16 Nov 1776; service 62 days, including 11 days (212 miles) travel home; order for payment of amount of roll dated at North Castle and signed by Col. Brooks; also, Quarter Master; list of officers of Suffolk Co. militia; commissioned 27 Sept 1777; said Hartwell, with others, stationed with guards at or near Charlestown guarding Gen. Burgoyne’s army, prisoners in Massachusetts (MS&S). 328 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

The Samuel Hartwell House was destroyed in a tragic 1968 fire and only its protected center chimney remains may be seen (shown in 2006).

Mary is noted for helping to carry the alarm on the evening of 19 April 1775, and for being the sole mourner of the British soldiers who lost their lives in that battle (Abram English Brown, Beneath Old Rooftrees, Chapter 18), and is listed on the DAR Patriot Index in

Burial of British Soldiers, April 20, 1775. Fifth Generation 329 recognition of her bravery. She applied for, and received, a pension based on Samuel’s service during the Revolution (Revolutionary Pension File W14841). Samuel is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in Lincoln consisting of two males over 16, four males under 16 and five females, indicating that his son by Molly Estabrook may possibly have been living with him at this time. He wrote his will 24 January 1820, leaving his beloved wife Mary 1/2 the house and cellar, use of all the household goods, and specifying the quantities of food she was to be given annually. He left his son Samuel his dwelling house in Lincoln, all his lands in Lincoln, Bedford, and Princeton (except what he gave to Jonas and Abel), all his livestock and farming tools, his blacksmithing tools, all his money (or money due him), and half his crosscut saw owned jointly by Samuel and his brother John, his money scales and several books. These bequests were contingent on Samuel’s paying “all my just debts and caring for my wife, giving her a decent burial at his own cost with decent gravestones for me and my wife.” He gave son Abel 1/3 part of his Princeton pasture, 1/2 of his cider mill, 1/2 his double sleigh and harness, his small iron bar, and his books on the history of Massachusetts. He gave son Ephraim a note he held against him for $27.53 and his great Bible. To son Jonas he gave 1/3 part of his Princeton pasture, his clock and watch tools, and several books. To daughters Polly Adams, Sally Munroe, and Elizabeth Rich, he left $25 each (besides the valuable sums they had already received). To daughter Lucy Hartwell he left $200 to be on interest, the west chamber in the front part of the house, and his loom and tackling. He named son Samuel as sole executor (Middlesex Probate File 10590). Child by Molly Estabrook, born at Rutland: +6.228 i. SAMUEL ESTABROOK6 HARTWELL, bap. 12 July 1767 (RVR 38); m.

5.96 EPHRAIM5 HARTWELL (Ephraim4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 8 January 1745 (CBMD 164), and he died at New Ipswich, New Hampshire, 30 May 1816, age 70 (Index of deaths in Boston Newspapers; History of New Ipswich, NH). He married at Lincoln, 1 June 1769 (LVR 114), “Mrs.” MARY BROWN, who was born possibly at Waltham, 26 December 1749 (HOA; not in VRs) and died at New Ipswich, NH, 30 November 1824 (HOA), daughter of Isaac and Mary (Balch) Brown. Ephraim evidently moved to Princeton, shortly after his marriage, as his only child was born there, and he was a resident of Fifth Generation 337

Princeton during the Revolution when he served as a “Private, Capt. Boaz Moore’s co. of Minute-men, Col. Ephraim Doolittle’s regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; service 9 days” (MS&S). Later, by “official record of a ballot by the House of Representatives, dated 23 January 1776, showing officers chosen to command the 6 regiments raised to serve before Boston until 1 April 1776; name of said Hartwell appears in place of that of Caleb Clap, which is crossed out, and who was chosen Quarter Master of Col.

About 1782 he moved to New Ipswich, NH, where he purchased a house and a store of Josiah Rogers. “He entered into trade, which he pursued with energy and success for about thirty years. His public spirit and enterprize made him popular, and he was elected to many important offices; he was candidate for Senator for several years, and often held town offices. He was an early and constant friend to the Academy; and it was owing to his energy that several kinds of manufactures were introduced here. He owned the Scythe factory on the South road; the first Linseed Oil mill, where the Factory in Bank village now stands. He had Pearlash works near his house; was one of those most deeply interested in the turnpike, as also in some other enterprizes” (History of New Ipswich, NH). He is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in New Ipswich, NH, consisting of nine males over 16, one male under 16 338 Descendants of William1 Hartwell and eight females, an entry which underscores the dangers of attributing all members of a household to the same parents.

5.100 ISAAC5 HARTWELL (Ephraim4, Samuel3-2, William1) was born at Concord, 8 July 1752 (CBMD 186), and he died at Princeton, 12 September 1831, age 79 (PVR 168). He married at Princeton, 9 February 1786 (PVR 104), EUNICE MIRICK, who was born there 31 August 1759 and died there 28 June 1823, age 64 (PVR 168), daughter of Caleb and Eunice (?) Mirick.

Later, he was “Lieutenant, Capt. Joseph Griffith’s co., Col. John Jacobs’s regt.; engaged 1 Jan 1778; service 5 mos. 19 days; engage- ment to expire 1 Jan 1779” (ibid.).

Descendants of William4 and Deborah (Wheat?) Hartwell

5.103 JOSEPH5 HARTWELL (William4-3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 3 November 1730 (BVR 28) and he died at Lyndon, Vermont, in the spring of 1805 (Caledonia Co. Probate File 3:76-77). He 346 Descendants of William1 Hartwell married at Chelmsford, (int.) 1 June 1751 (CVR 245), SARAH SKINNER, who was born at Westford, 11 May 1733 (WVR 104), daughter of William and Elizabeth (“Berrd” [Burt?]) Skinner. [Note: HOA’s speculation that Sarah was the daughter of Abraham and Phebe (Dickinson) Skinner is not correct, as Abraham Skinner’s daughter died before he made his will (Mrs. Gordon Wahl, Skinner Kinsmen).] A death record for Sarah has not been found, but she probably died between 1791, when she is most likely the female shown in Joseph’s household on the federal census of that year, and 1805, when there is no mention of her in Joseph’s probate file. In 1748, Joseph chose Nathaniel Whittemore of Concord to be his guardian (Middlesex Probate File 10603). Joseph was “of Westford” [MA] on 27 December 1752, when he sold “about 200 acres called Ruck’s Farm” in Dunstable [Nashua], NH, to Samuel Read and Ebenezer Stone, both of Westford. The deed states that this is land Joseph received as the heir of his father, William, deceased (Rockingham Co. [NH] Deed 41:249). Joseph is almost certainly the Joseph Hartwell shown on Capt. Thomas Lawrence’s billeting roll in 1758, indicating that he was still in Massachusetts at that time, apparently in the Westford/ Groton area, where most of the men in Thomas Lawrence’s company resided (NEHGR 50[1896]:353). He enlisted 2 May 1758 and served 24 days for a total of 12 shillings pay. Joseph moved to Westmoreland, New Hampshire (HOA), and was in Putney, Vermont as early as 1771, where his name appears on the Vermont 1771 census (PVR 391). He was Highway Surveyor of Putney in 1780, and apparently was a member of Capt. Fish’s company in 1781, although this reference gives his residence as “Townshend” (Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots of the Revolutionary War - Vermont). On 15 October 1783, Joseph Hartwell of Putney, husbandman, sold, for 25 pounds lawful silver money, to Timothy Hartwell of Putney, husband-man, a dwelling house and lot #18 in the first range (Putney deeds, 2:75). He was in Putney for the taking of the 1791 Federal Census, where he is shown as the head of a family Fifth Generation 347 consisting of one male over 16 and one female, probably his wife, Sarah. On 26 April 1799, Joseph Hartwell, yeoman of Putney, sold to John Campbel, lot #19 range 1 (Putney deeds, 3:357). Children, all except Timothy born probably in order of birth uncertain, dates per HOA unless otherwise indicated: +6.252 i. CATHERINE6 HARTWELL, b. ca. 1752; m. JOSIAH UPTON. +6.253 ii. WILLIAM HARTWELL, b. ca. 1753; m. (1) SUSANNAH SKINNER, (2) SUSANNA (SPERRY?) COLE. +6.254 iii. BETSEY HARTWELL, b. 7 June 1754; m. STEPHEN DUTTON. +6.255 iv. OLIVER HARTWELL, b. ca. 1756; m. HANNAH KELLEY. +6.256 v. RELIEF HARTWELL, b. ca. 1760; m. ELIJAH COOK. +6.257 vi. TIMOTHY HARTWELL, b. 23 June 1763; m. LYDIA COLE.

5.106 JAMES5 HARTWELL (William4-3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 1 June 1739 (BVR 28), and he died, probably at Stockbridge, before 21 September 1784, when James Wilson deeded land there to “my daughter Abigail Hartwell, widow” (Ken Stevens, Wilsons from New England, Vol. J:35). He married ca. 1764, ABIGAIL WILSON, who was born probably at Leicester, ca. 1734 (calc.) and died at West Stockbridge, 3 October 1817, in her 84th year (WSVR 98), daughter of James and Mehitable (Leavens) Wilson. HOA states that James Wilson was one of eighteen heads of families who removed to Stockbridge from Charlton [sic], and that after James [Hartwell’s] death, Abigail returned to Charlton, joining the church there in 1769. This may be true, but she must have returned again to Stockbridge, because she is listed on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a family in West Stockbridge consisting of two males under 16 and five females, and she definitely died there. According to Ken Stevens, James Wilson was “of Leicester” when he purchased land in Stockbridge in 1757, and there are no references to Charlton in his genealogical sketch of James and his family, so it would seem that HOA was misinformed. Further research on this family might reveal more details, although 348 Descendants of William1 Hartwell extensive research by eminent genealogist, Donald Lines Jacobus, among others, has failed to discover the parents of daughter Elizabeth’s first husband. Children, born probably at Stockbridge, dates per HOA: +6.258 i. ELIZABETH6 HARTWELL, b. 9 March 1765; m. (1) FRANCIS PAYNE, (2) EBENEZER STRONG. +6.259 ii. JAMES HARTWELL, b. 20 June 1766; m. REBECCA ATKINS.

Descendants of Daniel4 and Sarah (Wilson) Hartwell

5.110 SARAH5 HARTWELL (Daniel4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 4 October 1736 (BVR 28) and she died sometime after the taking of the 1790 Federal Census, on which she is shown as the head of a household in Bedford consisting of one female. She married ca. 1759, JEREMIAH BLOOD, who was born at Concord, 20 September 1741 (CBMD 186) and died between April and June 1790, son of John and Sarah (Coburn) Blood.

5.111 SOLOMON5 HARTWELL (Daniel4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 20 April 1739 (BVR 29) and he died “of mortification” at Conway, -- June 1805, age 75 [sic] (CVR 239). He married at Bedford, 9 August 1759 (BVR 81), ABIGAIL DAVIS, who was born there 23 October 1741 (ibid.) and died of “old age” at Conway, 27 April 1834, age 92 (CVR 239), daughter of Eleazer and Rebecca (Chandler) Davis. [Note: Abigail’s mother, Rebecca Fifth Generation 351

(Chandler) Davis, married second, as his 2nd wife, Solomon’s uncle Stephen Hartwell (see #4.52).] On 5 September 1754, Solomon Heartwell (being in 16th year), son of Daniel, late of Bedford, deceased, requested that his uncle Timothy Hartwell of Bedford be made his guardian. Nicholas Bowes witnessed the petition, and Timothy Hartwell stood bond for $300 on 16 December 1754 (Middlesex Probate File 10553). Although his name is mis-transcribed as “Sullivan” in Mass. Soldiers & Sailors in the Revolution, Solomon served as “Private [in] Capt. Thomas French’s co., Col. David Wells’s [Hampshire co.] regt.; service between 23 Sept 1777, and 18 Oct 1777, 18 days in Northern department” (MS&S). This is the same regt. in which Solomon’s brother, William, is known to have served on these same dates, lending further credence to the true identification of “Sullivan Hartwell.” Solomon is listed on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in Conway, consisting of one male over 16, two males under 16, and three females, which does not seem like enough people to account for his known family at that time. In his will, written 29 September 1804 and witnessed by William Merriam, Samuel Hartwell and Eleazer Davis, Jr., (all of Bedford), Solomon Hartwell of Conway in the County of Hamp- shire, yeoman, left all his household furniture and two good cows to dearly beloved wife Abigail. All the other estate, both real and personal, except for 11¼ acres of land, was to be sold by his executor “to the best advantage” and the proceeds divided as follows: 1/3 to wife, Abigail; the 11¼ acres previously mentioned to eldest daughter Abigail Rockwood; $70 to oldest son Daniel; $1 each to sons Solomon and Francis as their full portion with what they had before; $15 to dau. Rebekah Whitney; $1 each to daughters Sarah Dwight, Betsey Luce, son Samuel and dau. Polly Curtis; son Stephen to have $100 when he arrived at full age. Any over- surplus from the sale of the estate was to be equally divided among all the children (Northampton Probate File 68:1). 352 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

5.113 WILLIAM5 HARTWELL (Daniel4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 1 September 1743 (BVR 30) and he died at Charlemont, 28 August 1820, age 77 (CVR 144). He was “of Rutland” when he married at Holden, 4 July 1765 (HVR 141), MARY LOVELL, who was born at Holden, 6 August 1740 (HVR 61), and died a widow at Charlemont, 6 November 1822, age 82 (CVR 144), daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Cheney) Lovell. On 13 April 1764, William Hartwell of Holden, for the sum of 51 pounds, 13 shillings and 4 pence, purchased 50 acres in Rutland from Abel Loring of Sudbury (Worcester County Deeds 53:546). This deed was witnessed by Andreas Smith and Henry Taft. Despite the Fifth Generation 353 fact that he owned land there, he was “warned out” of Rutland on 20 August 1765 (Worcester County Warnings, 1737-1788 [1899]). William and Mary “removed soon after marriage to the Deerfield River valley, settling on the farm in Rowe where the ‘Davis’ mine, a rock yielding sulphuric acid, was worked as late as 1887 . . . removing in 1768 to the central part of Charlmont, about two miles from the Deerfield River, where he died. He was one of the first deacons of the Baptist church of that town, followed in that office by a son and a grandson” (HOA). William served in the Revolution, first as a “Sergeant in Capt. Oliver Avery’s co. of Minutemen which marched 21 April 1775 (just 3 days after his son, Lovell, was born) in response to the alarm of 19 April 1775; service, 17 days; reported returned home” (MS&S 7:390). He then served as a private in Capt. Hugh Maxwell’s co., Col. William Prescott’s (10th) regt., where he is “listed on a muster roll dated 1 August 1775,” and where there is a record of an “order for a bounty coat or its equivalent in money dated Sewall’s Point, 27 December 1775” (ibid., p.397 and p.677). He later participated in the march to Bennington, 15 August 1777, under General Stark (ibid.). William may have had earlier military service as he was one of the signers of a notice placed in the Greenfield Gazette on 18 Septem- ber 1810 notifying “Officers and soldiers who served between 1754 and 1764 to meet at the house of Widow Fales in Charlmont, re grants in Ohio” (G.G. Vol.19, #34 [970]). William is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a household in Rowe, consisting of two males over 16, two males under 16 and five females. No probate records for William have been found in either Greenfield or Northampton Probate Courts. Children, born as indicated: +6.271 i. JONATHAN6 HARTWELL, b. Rutland, 14 Jan 1767 (RVR 49); m.

5.114 ELIZABETH5 HARTWELL (Daniel4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born posthumously at Bedford, 20 October 1745 (BVR 30) and she died at Lexington, 8 May 1792 (LVR 196). She married at Lexington, 2 March 1771 (BVR 80), ROBERT REED “of Woburn,” son of Swithin and Margery (Perry) Reed. Robert died between 3 June 1796, the date he wrote his will, and 2 November 1796, the date the will was proved. Thus he could not possibly be the Robert Reed who drowned with his son at Boston Harbor 5 June 1805 as stated in HOA, because his will would not have been presented for probate in 1796 if he were still living. Robert was in service in the campaign to Ticonderoga in 1777; was enrolled in Capt. Parker’s co., 1775-6 (HOA). In his will Robert left son Robert $100, son Daniel $133.34, daughter Elizabeth [Perkins] $116.68, son-in-law Ephraim Perkins $147.50, daughter Sarah, wife of Caleb Coolidge, $116.68, daughter Maxmily R., Fifth Generation 355

$133.34, and daughter Margery $133.34. Son Sweathron was to have all the rest and residue of the estate and was appointed sole executor (Middlesex Probate File 18518). On 2 November 1796, James Reed of Woburn, gentleman, gave bond to be guardian “to Daniel and Sarah Reed, minors of more than 14 years of age, children of Robert Reed” (Middlesex Probate File 18599) and on the same date, gave bond to be guardian “to Maximily and Marjorie Reed, under 14 years of age” (Middlesex Probate File 18560). Children, all born probably at Lexington: i. SWITHIN REED, b. 13 Aug 1771 (LVR 63; HOA has 1773); d. there 28 Oct 1834, “about 65y” (LVR 196); m.

Watertown, (int.) 30 March 1799 (WVR 3:229; HOA has 3 May), EPHRAIM PERKINS. iii.

5.117 MARY5 HARTWELL (Stephen4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 19 December 1742 (BVR 30) and she died, probably at Holden, ca. 1821 (DAR Application paper #4317 of Mary R. (Swan) Felton). She married at Bedford, 11 May 1762 (BVR 81), Fifth Generation 357

FRANCIS WILSON, JR., who was born ca. 1741 and died probably at Holden, 7 February 1820 (DAR Application 4317), possibly a son of Francis Wilson (Ken Stevens, “Wilsons of New England” Vol. J; hereinafter “Wilson”). Francis served extensively in the Revolution, beginning with the alarm of 19 April 1775; he rose to the rank of Captain in 1779; all his service was credited to the town of Holden (MS&S).

5.118 ABIGAIL5 HARTWELL (Stephen4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 15 August 1744 (BVR 30) and her death record has not been found. She was apparently living in 1823 when she was remembered in the will of her sister-in-law, Desire (Brown) Hartwell (see #5.122), although she is not mentioned in the guardianship papers for her husband, taken out in 1808. This omission may not necessarily indicate that she was deceased at that time. Abigail married at Bedford, 9 January 1766 (BVR 81), JOHN SYMONDS, whose birth date and parents have not been found. John was living in Holden on 5 January 1808 when he was judged to be “non compos and unable to care for himself” and John Gleson of Worcester was appointed his guardian. John Gleson, James Gleson, and Reuben Gleson, all of Worcester, stood bond. An inventory of his estate, taken by Samuel Daman, Lemuel Abbot, and Oliver Knowlton, showed an estate worth $307.50 (Worcester County Probate File A:53702). John served in the Revolution from Holden, answering the alarm of 19 April 1775 as a member of Major Paul Raymond’s Co., 1st Regt. (History of Holden; MS&S). Children, (order of birth uncertain), all born probably at Holden: i. DORCAS SIMONDS, b. 14 Jan 1768 (HVR 85); d. 9 Sept 1771, age 4 (HVR 231). ii. NABBY SIMONDS, b. say 1770; d.

She married at Lexington/ Woburn, 14 May 1767 (LVR ;WM 125), JUDAH [W]RIGHT, who was born 9 May 1743 and d. ca. 1786 (History of Holden), son of John and Mary (Locke) Wright.

Benjamin Caldwell, b. 2 April 1799 (HVR ?). [Note: HOA lists as child #2, Mary, b. 20 Sept 1791, which, since this was Patty and Benjamin’s marriage date, seems unlikely. There is no mention of Mary in the Holden VRs, but there is room for further children to have been born between Stephen and Benjamin.] iv. JUDAH WRIGHT, b. Holden, 1 April 1774 (HVR 93); d. there, of dropsy, 17 Feb 1844, age 69y 10m 17d (HVR 236). Judah became blind from cataract while still an infant. His father died when he was about twelve years old and from early life he supported himself, and his mother as well, by making baskets and bottoming chairs. He was Fifth Generation 363

endowed by nature with excellent mental powers, and he always showed an intense desire to acquire knowledge. The years between 1801 and 1806 he often humorously styled his “Collegiate Course,” as during this period he often visited the family of the Rev. Mr. Avery, and received much assistance from his daughters. Many others at different times read to him, or acted as his amanuenses. For nineteen years Major Paul Davis was accustomed to read the Massachusetts Spy to him, and it is said that not nineteen weeks were omitted during all that time. He thus became, by common consent, one of the best informed men in the town. His knowledge of history was both extensive and exact, and few were so well acquainted with the occurences of the day . . . . He was accustomed, frequently, to arrange his thoughts in rhyme. In 1812, he published a pamphlet entitled “Poems Upon Various Subjects,” and in 1823, another, entitled “Alonzo’s Dream: or an Allegorical Representa- tion of the Light in which Faults and Misfortunes are Frequently Viewed by the Unthinking Part of Mankind.” At the Centennial Celebration of Holden in 1841 a hymn composed by Judah was sung (History of Holden, which contains two of Judah’s poems). v.

5.120 STEPHEN5 HARTWELL (Stephen4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 12 October 1749 (BVR 30) and he is almost certainly the “Mr. Hartwell” who died at Lexington, 7 December 1829, age 80 years (LVR 180). The DAR Patriot Index says he died “about 1775,” but this is extremely unlikely given the fact that his son Stephen was born in 1785 and that he is shown on the 1790 Federal Census as the head of a household in Bedford Fifth Generation 365 consisting of one male over 16, one male under 16, and three females. Stephen married at Bedford/Lexington, 19 January 1775 (BVR 81; LVR 142), SARAH REED, who was born at Bedford, 4 October 1757 (Bridge genealogy) and died at Lexington, 5 September 1838, age 83 (Index of Deaths in Boston Newspapers; LVR 180), daughter of Oliver and Sarah (Bridge) Reed. It is interesting that Desire (Brown) Hartwell, who seems to have remembered just about all her relatives in her extensive bequests, does not mention either Stephen or his wife, but they may have been estranged. Children, all born probably at Bedford: 6.281 i. SALLY6 HARTWELL, b. 5 May 1780 (BVR 29); n.f.r. +6.282 ii. STEPHEN HARTWELL, b. 18 May 1785 (BVR 30); m. LUCY H. ESTABROOK. 6.283 iii. [?]MARY HARTWELL, b. before 1790 (prob. one of the three females on the 1790 census); almost certainly the Mary Hartwell who married at Boxboro,(int.) 21 April 1828, as his 2nd wife, BENJAMIN PRIEST (see #5.154-iv).

5.121 RUTH5 HARTWELL (Stephen4, William3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Bedford, 1 March 175[2] “new stile” (BVR 30) and her death record has not been found, although she was evidently living in 1823 when she was remembered in the will of her sister-in-law, Desire (Brown) Hartwell (see #5.122). She married at Bedford/ Woburn, 19 June 1770 (BVR 80; WM 125), DAAZE/DAZE3 SKELTON, who was born at Woburn, 21 December 1742 (WB 240) and died “about 1794” [sic] (DARPI), son of Thomas2 (Thomas1) and Ruth (Reed) Skelton. “Dayz Skilton” was a Private [in] Capt. Joshua Walker’s co., Col. David Greene’s (2d Middlesex co.) regt., which marched probably on the alarm of 19 April 1775; service, 9 days; also, list of training soldiers belonging to 3d Woburn co. under Capt.

5.136 MOLLY5 HARTWELL (James4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Groton, 19 March 1742/3 (GVR 1:107), and she died in Vermont after 1800. She married at Leominster, (int.) 10 July 1762 (LVR 212), REUBEN KENDALL, who was born at Woburn, 25 Novem- ber 1739 (WB 140) and died at Andover, Vermont, ca. 1796 (Crockett, 16), son of Ebenezer and Hannah (Thompson) Kendall. Reuben was a private in Capt. Haskell’s co., Col. Prescott’s regt. during the Revolution (DAR Application 6498). Reuben and Molly moved to Mason, NH, about 1785, and then to West Windsor, Vermont.

5.137 AMASA5 HARTWELL (James4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Groton, 28 February 1745 (GVR 1:106) and he was buried at Shirley, 6 October 1807 (SVR 191; Gs:Shirley Center Cemetery). He married, ca. 1773, LYDIA MOORS, who was born at Groton, 10 March 1750 (GVR) and died “of old age” at Shirley, 5 April 1846, age 90y 11m (SVR 191), daughter of Timothy and Lydia (Nutting) Moors. Amasa is listed on the 1790 Census as the head of a family in Shirley with one male over 16, two males under 16 and five females, which agrees with his known family at that time. Children, born at Shirley (SVR 41-42): +6.313 i. LYDIA6 HARTWELL, b. 28 Jan 1774; m. ABNER PIERCE. +6.314 ii. ABEL HARTWELL, b. 9 Feb 1776; m. ELIZABETH HALL. +6.315 iii.

5.138 SUSANNA5 HARTWELL (James4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Groton, 15 April 1748 (GVR 1;106) and she died at Shirley, (HOA, no date given). “Mrs. Susanah” Hartwell and DAVID PRATT “of Groton” published intentions to marry at Shirley, 28 December 1771 (SVR 132), but the actual marriage may not have taken place until some time later, as Susannah Hartwell of Shirley confessed to fornication and on 7 June 1772 gave birth to an illegitimate female child. On 8 September 1772 she charged David Pratt of Harvard with being the father (Middlesex Court Records). David, a soldier in the Revolution, was born at Groton, 29 October 1748 (GVR 1:188), son of John and Hannah (Bowers) Pratt. His death record has not been found. Further research on this family is encouraged. Known children, born at Shirley (SVR 80): i. ANNA PRATT, b. 7 (court record) or 27 June 1772. ii. HANNAH PRATT, b. 11 Feb 1774; d. unm. 17 Sept 1814 (HOA). iii. DAVID PRATT, b. 18 Oct 1775; n.f.r.

5.139 JONATHAN5 HARTWELL (James4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Groton, 20 April 1750 (GVR 1:106) and he died, probably at Townsend, 26 January 1814 (DARPI), although Townsend records indicate that Abijah Tarbell was paid on 12 August 1816 for “making a coffin for Jona Hartwell” (TVR 463). He married at Shirley, (int.) 6 April 1776 (SVR 132), MARY “MOLLY” BOYNTON, who was born at Lunenburg, 19 October 1761, and died probably at Shirley, 30 September 1835 (Chandler), daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Wood) Boynton. Fifth Generation 393

Jonathan was a “Private, Capt. Job Shattuck’s co., Col. John Robinson’s regt.; pay roll made up from time of enlistment to time of marching to camp and dated Cambridge, March -, 1776; service, 8 days” (MS&S). He is listed as Jonathan, Jr., on the 1790 Census as the head of a family in Lunenburg consisting of one male over 16, five males under 16, and two females. “Jona Hartwell and famaly from Sherley” were warned out of Townsend in 1801 (TVR 437). Children, all born probably at Shirley: +6.320 i. MARY6 “MOLLY” HARTWELL, b. 25 Oct 1776 (SVR 42); m. JOHN PROCTOR. 6.321 ii. JONATHAN HARTWELL, b. 30 July 1778 (SVR 41); d. Groton “suddenly of heart disease” (HOA) 21 Feb 1843 (GVR 2:229); m. (1) Townsend, Rev. David Palmer officiating, 27 May 1802 (TVR 60), ESTHER WARREN, b. Townsend, 3 Dec 1778 (TVR 239), d. before 1825, dau. of Ephraim and Mary (?) Warren. He m. (2) Groton, 27 Jan 1825 (GVR 2:83), as her second husband, MARY “POLLY” (SANDERS) BLOOD, b. Groton, 14 April 1784, dau. of Oliver and Elizabeth (Wentworth) Sanders and widow of Eben[ezer] Lewis Blood. After Jonathan’s death Mary married (3) Townsend, Paul Gerrish, J.P. presiding, 8 July 1844 (TVR 189), JOHN SEARLS, widower of Townsend. HOA says that Jonathan was a millwright in Pepperell, but this is doubtful considering that all known records about him are in either Groton or Townsend. 6.322 iii. THOMAS HARTWELL, b. 28 July 1780 (SVR 42). HOA says he was a carpenter, served in gunboat fleet on Lake Erie in the War of 1812, but HOA also attributes this service to another Thomas altogether, so the statement is suspect. More research might solve this problem. +6.323 iv. JEREMIAH HARTWELL, b. 2 Nov 1782 (SVR 41, as “Jeremy”); m. PHEBE KIBBEY. +6.324 v. EDMUND HARTWELL, b. 11 Jan 1785 (calculated); m.

ELIAB GOWEN/GOING HARTWELL, b. 18 May 1793 (HOA), bap. Shirley, 27 Aug 1797 (SVR 41); d. Boylston, 23 Aug 1826 (BVR). Eliab G. Hartwell of Townsend and SUBMIT PIERCE of Pepperell pub. marriage int. at Pepperell, 21 Jan 1816 (PVR 207) and at Townsend, 9 Feb 1816 (TVR 49), but this marriage apparently did not take place, as Submit married, 18 August 1825, ABSALOM LAWRENCE (see #5.13-vi-1). HOA says Eliab “was a shoemaker in West Townsend. He suffered a disappointment in love which unsettled his mind, led to bad habits and death.” Adminis- tration of Eliab’s estate was granted to Edmund Hartwell; Edmund of West Boylston, Leonard Hartwell of Lancaster, and Jonathan Hartwell of Groton gave bond. Nathan Tilton, Levi Whitney, and Joseph Flagg, all of Boylston, took the inventory, which consisted mostly of $15.26 worth of shoemaker’s tools (Worcester County Probate File A:27665). +6.328 ix.

5.140 ELISABETH5 HARTWELL (James4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Groton, 3 April 1753 (GVR 1:106) and she died February 1840 (HOA). She married at Shirley, (int.) 31 August 1776 (SVR 132), SAMUEL WALKER JR., who was born there 23 March 1753 and died probably at Chesterfield, NH, 22 January or 8 February 1830 (DARPI), son of Samuel and Mary (Stratton) Walker. HOA gives a very confused account of Elizabeth, listing several marriages she is supposed to have made. Ethel S. Bolton, in Shirley Uplands and Intervales [1914] clears up the confusion, which apparently began with Seth Chandler’s History of the Town of Fifth Generation 395

Shirley [1883]. It was Lydia Hale who married first, James Diggins, second, Moses Ritter and third, Ezra Clapp, not Elizabeth Hartwell. Lydia (Hale) Diggins was evidently widowed before 1782, and was living at the house of Amasa Hartwell, which is probably where the confusion started. It is not known why she was living with the Hartwell family, as she does not appear to have been related to them. Samuel Walker was a soldier in the Revolution. HOA says he served in 1759 in Col. Oliver Wilder’s regt., but since he was only six years old at the time, this statement is suspect. Children, (HOA; Frank B.

Thomas Killicutt of Shirley was paid on July 16, 1776, being a private in Captain William Burrows’s Company, ‘a Journeying to Exeter.’ In November of that same year he is recorded as having ‘set off home.’ In 1777, he was in a company whose roll was dated at Littleton. He is called ‘of Groton’ at the time his marriage intentions were published. He settled in Shirley. From Parker’s Diary it would seem that he lived in the south part of the town near Scripture Frost, and that he and Frost were either partners or he was Frost’s man. He was a shoemaker by trade and made shoes for James Parker in 1784. He was named by Sally Priest of Groton as being the father of her child, Timothy Killecut, b. at Groton 19 November 1784 (GVR), and he was ‘warned out’ of Townsend in 1801 (TVR 437). What became of the family later is a mystery” (Bolton, Ethel S., Shirley Uplands and Intervales [1914]). Known children, born at Shirley (SVR 58): i. SARAH KILLECUT, b. 18 Feb 1779; n.f.r. ii.

5.142 JOSEPH5 HARTWELL (Josiah4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 2 February 1742/3 (LVR 54, 383) and he died at Readsboro [Heartwellville], Vermont, 9 August 1812 (Gs:Heartwell- ville Cemetery). He married at Groton, 19 March 1767 (GVR 2:83; Littleton VRs date the int. as 26 July 1766), ELIZABETH PEIRCE, who was born at Groton, 7 May 1747 (GVR 1:ibid.) and died at Phelps, New York, 30 November 1844, age 99y [sic], 6m (Gs:Burnett-Hartwell burying ground), daughter of William and Sarah (?) Peirce. 400 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Joseph “settled in Chesterfield, NH, was in the battle of Bennington, captain in the Revolution; apparently removed to Wilmington, VT, and settled in Readsboro, VT, about 1784, only the last three of his twelve children being born there. . . . He, with Throop Chapman, called the first town meeting in Readsboro in 1794. He owned at one time 3000 acres of land. At his first settlement in Readsboro his human neighbors were five miles away, but the wild beasts of the field were in sufficiently close proximity. His wife was a cousin of Gov. Benjamin Pierce of Hillsboro, NH, who was father of President Franklin Pierce. She removed late in life to Oaks Corners, NY, and died in the house of her son, Benjamin. Joseph is buried in the little cemetery in Heartwellville, VT, a settlement named for him about five miles from Readsboro, where the house he occupied and probably built was still standing in excellent repair in 1938” (HOA). Joseph is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a family in Reedsboro [sic], VT, with two males over 16, four males under 16, and six females. The inscription on his tombstone reads: In / Memory of / Capt. Joseph Hartwell / who was a native / of the Town of Littleton, / County of Middlesex, Mass. / He settled at this place in April / 1786 where he resided until he / died in August 1812 / Age 72 years / He was an ardent Patriot and / soldier of the / Revolution of 1776. ------This stone was erected in the summer / of 1849, from an affectionate regard / to his memory by his son / Oliver Heartwell / of the City of New York / who was born at this place / 4th October 1786.

5.143 SARAH5 HARTWELL (Josiah4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 24 September 1744 (LVR 55) and she died there 3 January 1783, age 39 (LVR 107, 336). She married at Concord, Thomas Whiting, Esq. officiating, 4 September 1764 (CBMD 215), ELEAZER4 MELVIN, who was born at Concord, 30 March 1743 (CBMD 207), son of Robert3 (David2, John1) and Sarah (—) Melvin. [Note: According to HOA, Sarah was Eleazer’s second wife, but no confirmation for this statement has yet been found, and, given the fact that Eleazer was only 21 years old at the time of his marriage to Sarah, it seems unlikely.] Although Eleazer is called a ship carpenter in HOA, he is described as a housewright in a deed from his father. Perhaps he plied both trades at different times. Eleazer served in the French & Indian War, 1758-1759, and remained a Loyalist during the Revolu- tion. As a result he “had his lands confiscated by the General Court [and] went to Nova Scotia, where he received liberal compensation from the British government” (Densmore). It is not known if Sarah 402 Descendants of William1 Hartwell accompanied her husband to Nova Scotia during his exile, but Eleazer evidently returned to Littleton, where, after Sarah’s death, he married second, (int.) 14 June 1783 (LVR 274), “Mrs.” ANNA BROWN of Lincoln, by whom he had a son, Arad, born at Lincoln, 16 October 1786 (LVR 55). Arad was “of Boston” when he married at Boxborough, 28 Aug 1810 (BVR 47), Lois Stone. Children, born as indicated: i. SARAH MELVIN, b. Littleton, 14 March 1767 (LVR 107); d. ca. 1807; m.

5.146 BENJAMIN5 HARTWELL (Josiah4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 4 November 1750 (LVR 55) and he died at Fitchburg, 3 April 1813 (ORF 2:323). He married at Littleton, Rev. Daniel Rogers officiating, 26 November 1778 (LVR 81, 228), SARAH5 SANDERSON, who was born at Waltham, 9 February 1752[/3] (WVR 80; also recorded at Littleton [VR 117]) and died probably at Fitchburg, ca. 1821, daughter of Moses4 (Samuel3, Jonathan2, Edward1) and Mary (Flagg) Sanderson. [Note: Both the Sanderson Genealogy (NEHGR 127[1973]:289) and LVR 471 claim that the Sarah Sanderson born in 1752 died young, and that Benjamin Hartwell’s wife, Sarah, was born 12 July 1757, but there is no confirmation of this in the Littleton Vital Records. Given the fact that Moses and Mary (Flagg) Sanderson spaced their children in typical two year intervals, and had sons born on 14 July 1756 and 24 August 1758, there seems scarcely room for a child born in 1757.] Benjamin served from Littleton as a “private, Lieut. Aquila Jewett’s co. of Minute-men, Col James Prescott’s regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; service, 8 days; also, Capt. Jonathan Minott’s co., Col. Baldwin’s regt.; pay abstract for mileage from home to headquarters and return, dated Cambridge, 12 Jan 1776; mileage (54 miles) allowed said Hartwell” (MS&S). 410 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

In 1781 the family settled in the west part of Fitchburg, where Benjamin is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a household consisting of one male over 16, one male under 16 and five females, which matches nicely with his known family at that time. On 6 September 1813, widow Sarah Hartwell requested that administration on the estate of her late husband, Benjamin, be granted to Josiah Hartwell, oldest son of the deceased (Worcester County Probate File A:27653). The inventory of the estate, taken by Seth Phillips, Philip F. Cowden, and Samuel Phillips on 15 November 1813, showed an estate valued at $6,126.00, containing land in Fitchburg and Ashburnham. Children, all recorded at Fitchburg (ORF 2:323): 6.352 i. SARAH6 HARTWELL, b. Littleton, 6 May 1780 (LVR 143; also recorded Fitchburg); d. 19 April 1840 (HOA). +6.353 ii. LOIS HARTWELL, b.

5.148 SAMUEL5 HARTWELL (Josiah4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 25 November 1754 (LVR 55) and is undoubtedly the “Mr. Hartwell” who died of fever at Winchendon, 27 August 1806 (WVR 197; Worcester County Probate File A:27708), although HOA says he died in 1833 by falling off a bridge. Probate records show that it was his son, Samuel Jr., who died in the 1833 accident. The two Samuels were combined into one man by HOA, Fifth Generation 411 and Samuel, Jr.’s children were attributed to Samuel Robert7 Hartwell of Conway, who never married, and is of the wrong generation. Samuel married at Littleton, 29 July 1779 (LVR 357), his 3rd cousin, LOIS5 HARTWELL (see #5.72), who was born at Littleton, 8 January 1761 (LVR 77), and died there “a widow, age 51” 2 April 1813 (LVR 353), daughter of Oliver4 and Lois (Dudley) Hartwell (see #4.35-i). Samuel was a “private [in] Lieut. Aquila Jewett’s co. of Minute-men, Col. James Prescott’s regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; service 12 days” (MS&S). He is shown on the 1790 Census as the head of a family in Littleton consisting of one male over 16, two males under 16 and three females. He probably moved to Winchendon in 1796 (HOA says “about 1790 ”) when he purchased Lot #114 in the second division from Abner Curtice, Jr. for $433 (Worcester Deeds). Samuel died intestate and insolvent. Lois declined to administer the estate, and, stating that “none of the male heirs being 21 years of age,” requested the judge of probates to appoint Thomas Fisher, Esq. administrator. Lois evidently took the $121.18 the court allowed her as her widow’s portion and returned to Littleton. Samuel’s estate was finally settled in 1817, with each of the credi- tors receiving only a few cents on the dollar. Children, all except last one born at Littleton (LVR 155): +6.359 i.

OLIVER HARTWELL, b. 23 May 1789; death record not found; m. Royalston, 5 Feb 1816 (RVR 122), SARAH JACOBS, b. there 5 Feb 1793 (RVR 45), d. Circleville, OH, 24 May 1834 (Index of Deaths in Boston Newspapers [C.C. 16 July 1834]), dau. of Capt. Joseph and Sarah (Bragg) Jacobs. Oliver is almost certainly the Oliver Hartwell mentioned in The History of Monroe County, NY [1877] as having purchased in 1820 a farm [in Pittsford, NY?] from Mr. Pardee. “The place was known as Hartwell’s Basin for a number of years, and was known as Bushnell’s Basin in 1877. The [Erie] Canal was built through this farm. Oliver Hartwell kept a grocery, a warehouse, and built boats, doing quite a business.” HOA failed to identify this Oliver Hartwell, but given the fact that his brother, Samuel, is known to have gone to Monroe County, NY, and that both he and Oliver appear on the 1820 Census there, it seems reasonable to assume that Oliver accompanied him. Oliver was in Circleville, OH, for the taking of the 1830 and 1840 Federal Censuses. 6.365 vii. CLARISSA HARTWELL, bap. Littleton, 8 May 1791 (LVR 319); d. probably young. +6.366 viii.

He married first, at Littleton, Jonathan Reed Justice of the Peace presiding, 15 December 1783 (LVR 229, as “Dr. Thomas Hartwell”), ELIZABETH “BETTY” HOWARD.

5.153 ELIZABETH5 HARTWELL (Josiah4, Jonathan3, Samuel2, William1) was born at Littleton, 22 September 1765 (LVR 56) and died, probably in Vermont, 9 December 1831 (ibid.). Although her death date is given in the Littleton records, it is doubtful that she actually died there. Littleton records also contain extracts from a Bible belonging to J. Hartwell Whitcomb, wherein “Betsy Hartwell b. 22 Sept 1765, died 30 Jan 1783 ” (LVR 383). This Bible record is puzzling, since “daughter Elizabeth Russell, wife of John Russell” was bequeathed 15 pounds in Josiah Hartwell’s will, written 6 June 1787 (Middlesex Probate File 10575), so she obviously did not die in 1783. Possibly at the time of her father’s second marriage, Elizabeth moved to Fitchburg to live with her brother Benjamin’s family, because she was “of Fitchburg” when she married there, the Rev. John Payson officiating, 17 October 1786 (ORF 233 [recorded by Phineas Hartwell, town clerk]), JOHN RUSSELL, who was born probably at Danvers, ca. 1760 and died at Stowe, Vermont, ca. 1820, age 60 (Stowe Center Cemetery record), son of Jonathan Jr. and Hannah (Flint) Russell. After their marriage, John and Elizabeth moved to Vermont, where they lived in both Windsor and Stowe (History of Columbia County, WI). 416 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

The Probable Ancestry of William1 Hartwell

At some point after publishing the 1887 Handbook of Hartwell Genealogy, Lyman Densmore obtained, from a gentleman in Ken- tucky, a descendency chart purporting to show William’s descent from a Sir Simon Hartwell of Wold Hartwell in 1066. It is said that Densmore lamented that he was unable to go to England to research the statements on this chart for himself. Despite this lack of verif- ication, the chart was published in the front of the 1956 genealogy, and some descendants have accepted it as gospel. After publication of the 1956 genealogy, the Hartwells of America Association, evidently feeling that there was no more research to be done on the family in this country, turned their attention to England. The “English Project” was instituted to try to discover the origins of the immigrant, William Hartwell, and to authenticate statements on the descendency chart. While there was controversy over the value of this project, and some reluctance to fund it fully, English genealogists were hired to search British records for Hartwells. Several editions of “The Beetle Gazette” were published by then family genealogist, Rodney Hartwell, explaining some of the results of this search, and the Hartwell Association even toyed with the idea of publishing a genealogy of all the Hartwells in England. After much research, the English genealogists came to the conclusion that while some of the statements on the descendency chart were correct, many were taken out of context or totally fabricated. Their conclusion was that someone had sold Mr. Densmore “a pup.” While no proof positive was found concerning William’s parentage and birth, several interesting leads were discovered. The most promising would seem to be records found in the area of Cranfield, Bedfordshire. Much has been made in the past of statements that William came from Kent, and this information appears on the IGI and several different web sites. However, Cranfield was the home of the numerous Wheelers who arrived in Concord, 428 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

Massachusetts about the same time as William, and it seems likely that he may have come from the same area. The “Beetle Gazette,” Vol. 1, No. 1, presented extracts from Cranfield Parish records that indicated that “our” William was most likely the son of Francis Hartwell by his first wife, Mary. William was the second of the three sons baptized by Francis and Mary at Cranfield. This same edition of the “Beetle Gazette” abstracted the following probate record, without commenting on its apparent relevance: 17 September 1576, William Hartwell of Leighton Buzzard, Co. Bedfordshire. Gives to son Francis Hartwell a black cow of 20 pounds, 3 shillings, 4 pence. Unborn child to have a bullock of the said cow. Further bequests to each of his children. If one of them die before the other is 12 years old, the living one to be the heir of the other. Wife Agnes to bring up the children, and use their legacies till they be 12. She is to have residue and be exor. Landlord Robert Thornback and Nicolas Felfe his neighbour to be overseers. Witnesses, Robert Thornback, Nicholas Felfe, Robert Felde, Thomas Burack, Anthony Slater. Proved 23 March 1578. This probate record seems to indicate that Francis was still a relatively young (or at least newly married) man, with a young child named Francis and another child on the way. If we assume that Francis was approximately two years old at the time his father wrote his will, that makes him a good age to be the father of the immigrant William, who was obviously named for his grandfather. A marriage record exists for William Hartwell to Annetta Gillett at Leighton Buzzard Parish on 26 June 1574. Since the names Agnes and Annetta could be interchangeable, this could well be the marriage of our William’s grandparents.

The major problems with this lineage would seem to be that there are no further records of William’s purported father, Francis, or his stepmother Ann, or of his purported brothers, Richard (Thomas?) and Robert. With the exception of Mary, the name of William’s purported mother, none of these names were used by William and Jezan in naming their children. Perhaps further research in and around Cranfield and Leighton Buzzard would yield more information on this family. 430 Descendants of William1 Hartwell Appendix B

Royal Ancestry of John3 and Edward3 Hartwell

Descendants of the children of John2 Hartwell can claim lineage going back to King Henry II of England through their mother, Elizabeth Wright. As explained in the biography of John2 Hartwell, his wives, although both surnamed Wright, could not have been sisters, so the royal lineage does not apply to John’s children by Priscilla Wright. While this royal line has long been known, its accuracy was confirmed in 1987 by eminent “royalty” genealogist, Gary Boyd Roberts, in an article entitled “Immigrants to New England for Whom Royal Descent Has Been Proved, Virtually Proved, Improved, or Disproved Since About 1960: A Bibliographical Survey” (NEHGR 141[April 1987]92-109). Martha (Bulkeley) Mellowes is listed in the section of the article entitled “‘Improved’ Royal Descents,” which refers readers to articles by John G. Hunt in TAG 35[1959]:100-106, TAG 37[1961]:45-51, and TAG 40[1964]:95- 99. This compiler has not seen these articles, but has no doubt as to their accuracy. The line is: Elizabeth Wright (1655-1704) m. John2 Hartwell (1640-1703) Edward Wright (1626-1691) m. Elizabeth (Mellowes) Barrett (1625-1691) Oliver Mellowes (1598-1638) m.

According to The Encyclopedia Americana, “Henry II, king of England, first of the Plantagenet line, [was] b. Normandy, 5 March 1133; d. Castle of Chinon, near Saumur, France, 6 July 1189. The son of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou and the Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, he was invested with the duchy of Normandy by the consent of his mother in 1150. The next year he succeeded his father in the possession of Anjou and Maine, and by a marriage with Eleanor of Guienne, just divorced from Louis VII, king of France, annexed that province with Poitou to his other dominions. “Henry succeeded Stephen as king of England in 1154. Although involved with his brother Geoffrey, who attempted to seize Anjou and Maine, and in a temporary dispute with France, he reigned prosperously till the memorable contest with Thomas à Becket. Anxious to dominate the clergy, Henry in 1164 summoned a general council of nobility and prelates at Clarendon, which assembly passed the famous constitutions named for that place, the effect of which was to render the church and ecclesiastical dig- nitaries subject to the temporal authority. “After the murder of Becket, Henry receded from his position and restored the church to its rights. Before this matter was ter- minated, Henry, in 1171, undertook an expedition into Ireland, and having left Earl Richard in the post of seneschal of Ireland he returned to England—the proceedings so important to the future destinies of both countries having occupied only a few months. Appendices 433

“Being an indulgent father, Henry had assigned to each of his four sons a provision out of his extensive territories. The eldest son, Henry, was not only declared heir to England, Normandy, Anjou, Maine and Touraine, but actually crowned in his father’s lifetime. On paying a visit to the court of his father-in-law, Louis VII of France, the prince was induced by the French monarch to demand of his father the immediate resignation either of the kingdom of England or of the dukedom of Normandy. This request being refused, he withdrew from his father’s court and was openly supported in his claim by Louis. “Henry’s various gallantries, exemplified in the popular and not altogether unfounded legend of fair Rosamond (italics mine) also embroiled him with his queen, Eleanor, who incited her other sons, Richard and Geoffrey to make similar claims. A general invasion of Henry’s dominions was in this way concerted, and began in 1173 by an attack on the frontiers of Normandy, but the king presently subdued his opponents and entered into an accom- modation with his sons on less favorable terms than they had previously rejected. Henry now employed himself in regulations and improvements which equally manifest his capacity and love of justice. He partitioned England into four judiciary districts, appointed itinerant justices to make regular excursions through them, revived trial by jury, discouraged that by combat, and demol- ished all the newly erected castles as shelters of violence and anarchy. The turbulence of his sons still disquieted him, but Henry, the eldest, was cut off by fever in 1183, and three years after the death of the equally restless Geoffrey occurred. Philip Augustus, then king of France, however, continued to foment the differences between Henry and his sons, and Richard was again prompted to rebel. A war followed, the event of which was so unfavorable to Henry, that he was at length obliged to agree that Richard should receive an oath of fealty from all his subjects. He also stipulated to pay a sum of money to the French king, and to grant a pardon to all Richard’s adherents. The mortification of Henry at these humili- ating terms was aggravated to despair when he saw the name of his 434 Descendants of William1 Hartwell favorite son, John, at the head of the list of deliquents whom he was required to pardon. Henry II ranks among the greatest kings of England. His wisdom and love of justice were acknowledged by foreign potentates, who made him arbiter of their differences and regarded him as the first prince of the age.”

A Hartwell Family of Color

Several years ago, this compiler attempted to match all the Hartwell records in the 17 volume set Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution, with the man who actually performed the service. This exercise proved to be both enlightening and frustrating. Perhaps the most frustrating was the record of a Jeffrey Hartwell, who could not be matched with any known descendant of William1 Hartwell of Concord. The mystery was eventually solved by information in The History of Dracut. Jeffrey Hartwell’s story is interesting and deserves to be included in this genealogy. 1. JEFFREY “JESSE” HARTWELL was born ca. 1751, as he was said to be about five years old on 6 July 1756, when Joseph Hartwell of Bedford purchased him from Joseph Fitch, for the sum of 24 pounds lawful money of New England (History of Dracut). Although there were several Joseph Hartwells in Bedford, Jeffrey’s owner was most likely Joseph4 Hartwell (see #4.54). Although this service is not listed in Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors, his daughter Frances’ obituary states that “her father, Jeffrey Hartwell, was in the battle of Bunker Hill, having gone on a three-months term as a substitute for his master, as he called him. Returning home, his master instead of allowing him his pay, took the money away and put it in his own pocket, upon which Jeffrey went off and enlisted until the close of the war” (Vox Populi, 27 March 1880). His documented service is: “Jeffrey Hartwell (also given as Jeffries) of Bedford [was a] Private in Capt. Edward Farmer’s co., Col. Jonathan Reed’s regt.; enlisted 29 Sept. 1777; discharged 8 Nov. 1777; service, 41 days; mileage home (185 miles) allowed; company marched to reinforce Northern Army; also, Private, Lieut. John Flint’s co., Col. Thomas Poor’s regt.; enlisted 16 June 1778; discharged 11 Feb. 1779; service, 8 mos. 9 days, at and about White Plains, including 12 days (240 miles) travel home; company raised to fortify passes of North [Hudson] river, NY; 436 Descendants of William1 Hartwell also, Capt. Asa Lawrence’s co., Col. Thomas Poor’s regt.; pay rolls for June-Aug. 1778 dated Fort Clinton; also, (late) Capt. Lawrence’s co. commanded by Lieut. John Flint, Col. Poor’s regt.; pay roll for Sept. 1778, dated West Point; also, Lieut. Flint’s co., Col. Poor’s regt.; pay roll for Nov. 1778, dated West Point; also, same co. and regt.; pay roll for Dec. 1778.” (MSSR VII:393). Less than a month after his discharge, an old Dracut journal entry, dated 4 March 1779, gives the information that “one Stephen Hartwell was here to advise relating to a Neagro named Jeffrey Hartwell. Spent considerable time with him at his request relating to said Neagro’s freedom. He would have given me a fee. I refused to take one (in a Neagro Cause).” Dracut town records from 1779 state that “John Varnum notified the town that he had received a laborer, a negro who calls himself Jeffrey Freeman, about twenty- eight years old from Joseph Hartwell in Bedford. Said Jefferey appears to be an able bodied laboring man and says he expects to earn his living at husbandry work.” (History of Dracut). Although a marriage record has not been found, Jeffrey apparently married, ca. 1782, MARIA (—), once a slave, who “was born in the old Royal Exchange in Boston, and was sent when a child to Dracut. There she lived in the Varnum family, and on her marriage . . . received for her wedding present two acres of land on which the present homestead stands.” Maria “was employed for many years by Joseph Butterfield Varnum” the man who made her the bridal gift of land. This land, located at the corner of Breakneck Hill Road [now Donahue Road] and Meadow Road [now Phineas Street], was where they built a house and where Violet and Frances made their home in later years. Their house “was once burned down and rebuilt” (Frances’ obituary). Jeffrey “Freeman” is shown on the 1790 federal census as head of a household in Dracut consisting of six “other free persons,” but whether this means that at that point in time he had four children is open to question. According to town records, “Jeffrey” Hartwell died at Dracut, 22 July 1816, age 75, but his gravestone calls him “Jesse” and gives a death date of 20 July 1816 (Dracut VRs to 1850). Maria died there 6 January 1839, age 90 (ibid.); Jesse, Maria, Violet, Appendices 437

Jesse Jr., Amaziah and Frances are buried in Dracut’s Hamblett Cemetery. Known children, born probably at Dracut, order of birth uncertain: i. VIOLET2 HARTWELL, b. -- Feb 1784 (calc.); d. Dracut, 9 May 1867, age 83y 3m (MA VRs 203:118); unmarried. Jesse Swain was appointed to administer the estate of Violet Hartwell, single woman, who left as her next of kin: Frances Hartwell of Dracut, sister; Elizabeth Offley, wife of G. W. Offley of New Bedford, a niece of the deceased and a daughter of Daniel Hartwell who was a brother of said Violet and is now deceased. Before adminstration of Violet’s estate was complete, administrator Jesse Swain died, and Henry Richardson was appointed to finish the job. An inventory taken on 22 October 1867 showed real estate valued at $1,659.98 and personal estate valued at $337.50. The probate packet contains receipts signed by Frances Hartwell and Elizabeth Offley’s marks, and Greensbury W. Offley’s signature (Middlesex Probate File 33720). ii. JESSE HARTWELL, b. say 1786; d. Dracut 23 March 1849, age 63 (Dracut Vrs to 1850); n.f.r. 2. iii. DANIEL HARTWELL, b. say 1788; m. BETSEY E. ADAMS. iv. FRANCES HARTWELL, b. 13 Nov 1792 (Gs); d. 13 March 1880, age 87y 4m (MA VRs 320:78); unmarried. Frances “received what little education she had at the village school. She was an inveterate reader, even in her old age... Unlike her brothers and only one sister, she spent a good deal of her life in travelling. When quite young she came to Boston and lived with some of its first families. With some of them she went to St. Petersburg, Rio Janeiro, the East Indies, France and England... She was accustomed herself to read her Prayer Book daily, and her last words were a repetition of the evening prayer” (obit.). v. AMAZIAH HARTWELL, b. say 1795; d. Dracut 2 October 1860, age 65 (MA VRs 139:90). 438 Descendants of William1 Hartwell

vi. [?]FRANCIS HARTWELL, b. say 1801; d. U. S. Marine Hos- pital, Charlestown, 8 Sept 1827, age 25 yrs (ChVRs 2:309).

2. DANIEL2 HARTWELL (Jeffrey1), b. say 1788; d. probably before 26 September 1842; almost certainly the Daniel “Hartwill” of Boston who married at Chatham, Connecticut, 13 April 1823 (Barbour), BETSEY E. ADAMS, who married second, at New Haven, 26 September 1842 (Barbour), GEORGE LORD. Records concerning Daniel are virtually non-existent. While the above marriage record does not identify Daniel and Betsey as colored, the record is attributed to them based on the fact that there is no other Daniel Hartwell whose marriage is unknown. This, coupled with the fact that the only two Adams families in Chatham, CT on the 1820 and 1830 federal censuses are both named Joshua and both are “other free persons.” Also, the subsequent marriage in 1842 of a colored couple named Betsey Hartwell and George Lord, has prompted the identification. What brought Daniel to Chatham, Connecticut, and when and where he died are unknown aspects of his life. Known child, born at Hartford, Connecticut: 3. i. ELIZABETH3 HARTWELL, b. 1 March 1827 (calc); m. GREENSBURY WASHINGTON OFFLEY.

3. ELIZABETH3 HARTWELL (Daniel2, Jeffrey1), was born probably at or near Hartford, Connecticut, 1 March 1827 (calc.) and she died at New Bedford, 22 September 1901, age 74y 6m 21d (MA VRs 516:322). She married at Boston, 17 March 1857 (MA VRs 110:23), as his second wife, GREENSBURY WASHINGTON OFFLEY, who was born at Centerville, Maryland ca. 1809 and died at New Bedford, 24 March 1896, age 87y 3m (MA VRs 463:299), son of John R. and Henrietta Offley. Greensbury is described as a clergyman on his marriage record and as a farmer on his death record. He was “of East Windsor” [CT] when he married first, at Hartford, 25 Novem- ber 1837 (Barbour), Rev. Heman Bangs officiating, ANN FREEMAN. Greensbury, age 45, black, minister, b. MD and Ann F., 43, black, b. CT were found on the 1850 federal census for Hartford, CT (Reel 41:160). In 1860 he was still in Hartford, age 50, Clergyman Meth., Appendices 439 with $7,640 worth of real estate and $300 worth of personal estate. Also in the household were Elizabeth Offley, age 28, black; Mary Brown, 16, black; Candace Augustus, 90, black, all born in Connecticut (Reel 78:936). According to Professor Thomas Doughton of Holy Cross College in Worcester, Greensbury W. Offley was a self-educated clergyman who was instrumental in founding the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Worcester. The “Anti-Slavery and Temperance Society of Colored Citizens,” an active political group sponsored by this church, raised money, participated in anti-slavery demonstrations across the state, and helped fugitive slaves to freedom. Although the marriage record of Adelaide I/J. Offley to Alexander C. Jones at New Bedford on 18 May 1876 (MA VRs 280:119) states that Adelaide, age 19 and born in Worcester, was the daughter of Greensbury W. and Elizabeth Offley, she was apparently actually the child of Mary Brown, and was adopted by the Offleys. Thus Jeffrey Hartwell’s line appears to end with his granddaughter, Elizabeth. 440 Descendants of William1 Hartwell Index
