Francis Lebaron A COLONIAL WEDDING. DESOEND~~NTS OF FRANCIS LEBARON OF PLYivIOUTH; IvL<1_SS. COMPILED BY MARY LEBARON STOCKWELL. BOSTO~: T. R. MARVIN & SOK, PRI:YTERS, 73 FEDERAL STREET. 1904. TO THE PERSEVERING INTEREST OF CATHARINE MUNROE (MARCH) CLARK THE PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK IS DUE; AND TO HER MEMORY IT nr· LOVINGLY DEDICATED. INTRODUCTION. IN offering this volume to the public, the compiler is well aware that in many lines it is incomplete, and that there must be, of ~ecessity, occasional errors in dates and names. As to the former, it is well known to all genealogists that the dates found on town records frequently differ from those contained in family Bibles, or given on gravestones; in some cases, two or even three varying dates for the same event have been furnished by different members of the same family; in such instances the responsibility of deciding which had the greater weight of evidence in its favor has necessarily fallen upon the compiler, and it can hardly be supposed that no errors have been made in reaching . the conclusions given. In the spelling of names some apparent dis- crepancies will doubtless be observed; these are due to the fact that the form used by the family itself has been followed. Even in the same family different members have occasionally, used different spelling of their family name. The material for the foundation of the work was largely gathered by the late John Goodwin Locke; the notes which he left at the time of his death, in 1869, being collated by Capt. Nathaniel Goodwin, who brought down the line of descendants of Dr. Lazarus LeBaron,2 the second son of Francis/ quite fully, to the year 1872. In 1897, at the initiative of Edmund S. and James W. Clark, the compiler of this volume assumed the work of bringing the record down to date, picking up, as far as possible, the many lost threads in 1 2 2 the lines of the other sons of Francis - J ames and Francis. In 6 Introduction. carrying out this labor many members of the LeBaron family have rendered important aid by their kind and ready response to many and repeated inquiries; the compiler would express appreciation of the great help received in the way of suggestions as to arrangement, as well as for information furnished, by the printers of the book ; thanks are due to Mr. Frederick Dielman for his kindness and courtesy in allowing the use, for the frontispiece, of a copy of his etching, "A Colonial Wedding," which represents the marriage of Francis LeBaron and Mary Wilder. The Rev. Calbraith B. Perry, D. D., has kindly permitted the use of plates of pictures of Ann (Bradford) De Wolf, Mary Ann (DeWolf) Perry, and of the Bradford House in Bristol, R. I. Some information which was received too late for insertion in its proper place, would gladly have been included had it been possible without disarranging the plan of the work. Valuable assistance has been rendered by Mr. Harry G. Botsford, Mrs. Frances E. Bovie, Miss Sarah Bradford, Lemuel LeB. Dexter, Esq., Miss Isabella Eldridge, Mrs. Helen L. Goodwin, Mrs. Catherine E. Hedge, Mr. Isaac N. LeBaron, Miss Mary A. Richardson, Mrs. Clara J. Sampson, Mr. Benjamin Shurt­ leff, Jr., Mrs. Jessie F. Stalker, Mrs. Ella G. St. Dizier, and Mr. James LeB. Willard. Mrs. Hepzibah G. Emerson, Miss Frances E. Murray, Mrs. Sarah S. Norton, and many others showed their interest in various ways, in the early years of the work, but have not lived to see its completion. M.A.RY LEE.A.RON STOCKWELL. January 1, 1904.

His grave­ stone on the " Ancient Burial Hill " in Plymouth, now in good preservation, marks the date of his death and age, and gives the latter as thirty-six years. Substantially the same tradi­ tion in regard to him has been handed down in the various branches of his family, namely, that a French privateer, fitted out at Bordeaux and cruising on the American coast, was wrecked in Buzzard's Bay. The crew were taken prisoners and carried to Boston. In passing through Plymouth, the surgeon, Francis LeBaron, was detained by sickness, and on his recovery; performed a surgical operation so successfully· that the inhabitants of the town petitioned the executive, Lieutenant Governor Stoughton, for his release, that he might settle among them. The petition was granted, and he practiced his profession in that town and vicinity until his death. In regard to his religious faith there are different opinions: some have claimed that he was a Roman Catholic, while others are just as strenuous in declaring that he was of a Huguenot family. It is possible that both claims are right, as, for a long period preceding 1696, the severest affliction of the Huguenots was due to the ab­ straction of their children and youth from their homes, to be edu­ cated in the Roman Catholic faith. We think best to express no opinion in regard to this matter, but place in the Appendix various statements and notes which have come to our attention, leaving each one interested to draw his own conclusions.

  • Film Synopsis
    TRACES OF THE TRADE: A STORY FROM THE DEEP NORTH FILM SYNOPSIS By Katrina Browne with Co-Directors Alla Kovgan and Jude Ray, and Co-Producers Elizabeth Delude-Dix and Juanita Brown. In Traces of the Trade, Producer/Director Katrina Browne discovers that her forefathers were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Given the myth that the South is solely responsible for slavery, viewers will be surprised to learn that Browne’s ancestors were Northerners. The film follows Browne and nine fellow family members on a remarkable journey, which brings them face-to-face with the history and legacy of New England’s hidden enterprise. From 1769 to 1820, DeWolf fathers, sons and grandsons trafficked in human beings. They sailed their ships from Bristol, Rhode Island to West Africa with rum to trade for African men, women and children. Captives were taken to plantations that the DeWolfs owned in Cuba or were sold at auction in such ports as Havana and Charleston. Sugar and molasses were then brought from Cuba to the family-owned rum distilleries in Bristol. Over the generations, the family owned ships that transported thousands of Africans across the Middle Passage into slavery. They amassed an enormous fortune. By the end of his life, James DeWolf had been a U.S. Senator and was reportedly the second richest man in the United States. The enslavement of Africans was business for more than just the DeWolf family. It was a cornerstone of Northern commercial life. The Triangle Trade drove the economy of many port cities (Rhode Island had the largest share in the trade of any state), and slavery itself existed in the North for over 200 years.

  • Dewolf Was Born to Balthasar Dewolf and Alice Dewolf
    HOMO HOMINI LUPUS 1646 Edward DeWolf was born to Balthasar DeWolf and Alice DeWolf. He is referred to in the records of Lyme, Connecticut as a carpenter. He was a member of a committee to arbitrate the differences between the people of New London and the builders of a church. JOHN WARNER BARBER LYME, CONNECTICUT 1656 March 5, Wednesday (1655, Old Style): Our first record of Balthaser DeWolf, the progenitor of the DeWolf family in America, has the name spelled “Baltazer De Woolfe,” as one of a group presented in Connecticut before “A Perticular Court in Hartford” charged with “smoking in the street.” Balthasar seems to have been living near what is now Branford, for the name is in a list of persons who settled in that town between 1645 and 1660. Balthazar DeWolf of Wethersfield 1664, removed to Lyme 1668, then had a daughter of age to live in a neighbor’s family; Edward DeWolf, Simon DeWolf, and Stephen DeWolf, who may have been all, as was Simon DeWolf, his sons (or not), joined with him in 1678, as members of the town train band, in a petition. Simon DeWolf of Lyme, son of Balthazar DeWolf, got married on November 12, 1682 with Sarah Lay, and they had Simon DeWolf, born during 1683; Sarah DeWolf, born during 1685; John DeWolf, born during 1687; Josiah DeWolf, born during 1689; Phebe DeWolf, born during 1692; Daniel DeWolf, born during 1693; and Jabez DeWolf; and died during 1696.
