Olds, 313 Pinelake Court, Spartanburg SC PREFACE This project is one result of my long term hobby, family history. Although I have "always" known of my connection to John and Nancy (Higgins) Harrison of Wabash County, Illinois, extending proof of their connections to their parents and ancestral families in Connecticut, Massachusetts and England has occupied several decades. Although I had been researching my ancestors for years, the present concept derives from correspondence with Bill Currie, now of Lander, Wyoming, beginning about 1978. In 1980, he suggested that we combine our efforts on these families and eventually produce a publication. The division of labor, roughly following our strengths and interests, would be for me to concentrate on the ancestors while he concentrated on the descendants. There would be many more of the latter and some limitations would have to be set to make a manageable project. Years of correspondence and independent research followed. It has been valuable to me to have his interest and support during this process. During this phase, Bill shared many items helpful in my own research or in the overlapping areas of the immediate families of John and Nancy, as well as providing much appreciated comments, analysis and encouragement to greater completeness and accuracy. I have had the opportunity to visit New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts where these families lived and where the tombstones and archives of their lives exist, and where major research collections are available. Bill has recently (Dec. 2000, see Bibliography) published his efforts in two large volumes. Although it remains "unfinished", I feel it is time to share my work as well. The results of my own research have evolved through many stages into the present, electronic, form. As an electronic document, this presentation changes more rapidly than a traditional publication would. It can be presented in a variety of formats, styles and contents. Recent versions include a date on each page to help with identification. I have adopted an arrangement which presents the ancestral families, arranged in alphabetical order, with separate sections devoted to each and with no distinction between the Harrison and the Higgins ancestry. What others have shared with me, I am glad to share with you in the hope that through continued sharing we will improve the scope, accuracy and documentation of our knowledge of the family. Dan W. Olds Draft Notes on HARRISON/HIGGINS Ancestry Page iv Printed: 4 February 2003 Dan W. Olds, 313 Pinelake Court, Spartanburg SC Historical Introduction John Harrison and Nancy Higgins were descendants of colonial families of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The first ships to bring settlers to the New England colonies were the Mayflower in 1620, the Fortune in 1621, the Anne and the Little James in 1623. James I was king of England at this time. There were four different religious classes in England 1: Catholic, members of the Church of England, members of the Church of England opposed to certan formal ceremonies (Puritans), and Brownists or Separatists (Pilgrims). During the previous century there had been much political and religious conflict in England with the strongest elements alternately being the Catholic Church and the (Protestant) Church of England. Neither side was hospitable to independent religious activity and some of the Pilgrims had moved to Leyden, Holland, in the pursuit of religious freedom, before they came to America in an attempt to remain English. By 1630, relatively few settlers had come to the Plymouth area, but in that year seventeen ships of the Winthrop fleet arrived with nearly 1000 passengers. The period 1630 - 1649 is called "The Great Migration" and nearly 16,000 (estimates run as high as 30,000) settlers arrived. Most of them came to the Boston area at first. 2 New England settlers spread by groups, founding new towns, rather than as individual pioneers. Beginning in 1633 at Windsor, the first towns of Connecticut were formed by families from Massachusetts. Genealogical research in colonial Massachusetts and Connecticut is likely to be especially fruitful due to the quantity and quality of both the records and the research already done. John Harrison's ancestors have been completely identified for five generations, with several additional generations in some lines. All members of these five generations lived in Massachusetts or Connecticut and all were of English descent. The ancestry of Nancy Higgins has been less completely identified, but is likely to have the same general characteristics. Immigration to New England reduced to a trickle after the middle of the 17th century and about 95% of the colonial population

  • Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe
    Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe Thomas Lord Stanley was the son of Thomas, 1st Baron Stanley. The 1st baron was a younger son of Cheshire gentry who had been elevated to the peerage. Thomas, his son, became the 2nd Baron Stanley at his father’s death in 1459, and in 1461 became Chief Justice of Cheshire. In 1472 he married Eleanor, the sister of Richard Neville (“the kingmaker”). They had four sons that we know of; George, Edward, Edmund and James. George was to become Lord Strange, James joined the Church, Edward and Edmund played no part in the politics of the time. Lord Stanley’s brother, William, later became Sir William Stanley. After the death of his wife, Eleanor, he married Margaret Beaufort in 1482, and became the step-father of Henry Tudor, son of Edmund Tudor, the Duke of Richmond, who died in 1458. Margaret was the daughter of John, 1st Duke of Somerset; she brought him great wealth, and a wife of breeding and accomplishment. Thomas and Margaret had no children together. During the personal rule of Henry VI, Lord Stanley became Controller of the Royal Household, and in times of crisis the court looked to him to provide troops in the North-West. Stanley’s greatest danger came in 1459, when Queen Margaret made a bid to recruit him directly in Cheshire, when the Yorkists were mobilising and sought assistance from the Stanleys. To add to his dilemma, his father died that year, leaving the 24 year old Thomas to weather the storm. At the Battle of Blore Heath that year, young Stanley played a game of brinkmanship and held his retinue and levies some miles from the encounter.

  • The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
    The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.

  • Edward Bangs: His Arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs Arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623
    Edward Bangs: his arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. Governor William Bradford tells of the ship’s arrival in Plymouth: "About fourteen days after came in this ship, called the Anne, whereof Mr. William Peirce was master; and about a week or ten days after came in the pinnace which, in foul weather, they lost at sea, a fine, new vessel of about 44 tun, which the Company had built to stay in the country. They brought about 60 persons for the General, some of them being very useful persons and became good members to the body; and some were the wives and children of such as were here already." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed. Samuel Eliot Morison (New York: Knopf, 1991), p. 127. Edward Bangs & the 1623 Division of Land The 1623 Division of Land marked the end of the Pilgrims' earliest system of land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it in this way: "And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression."

BLACKSTONE'S " EXCELLENT SPRING 295 Mr. Henry H. Edes read the following paper, written by Mr. Michael J. Canavan, on — MR. BLACKSTONE'S "EXCELLENT SPRING." When Governor Winthrop's scurvy-stricken party of Puritans arrived at Charlestown from Salem towards the end of June, 1630, after a long voyage of eighteen weeks in cramped quarters, they set up booths and tents on the slope of Town Hill ; and not know- ing how to conduct a camp properly, in a short time " there was hardly a hut in which someone was not sick or dead." "And although people were generally very loving and pityful yet the sickness did so prevail that the whole were not able to tend the sick as they should be tended, upon which many died and were buried about Town Hill." " They notioned generally no water good for a town but running water," which they had not found in that locality. Mr. Blackstone dwelling on the other side of Charles River at a place called Shawmutt, where he had a cottage not far from a place called Blackstone's Point, came and acquainted the governor of an excellent spring there, withal inviting and soliciting him thither. Whereupon after the death of Mr. Johnson and divers others the governor with Mr. Wilson and the greater part of the church removed thither, whither also the frame of the governor's house in preparation at this town was to the discontent of some carried when people began to build their houses against the winter, and the place was called Boston.
