| 5651 | Owner of Watson's Pond.1 Captain George Watson is purportedly born in Holme on Spaulding, co. Yorkshire, Grantham, co. Lincoln or in London according to various sources. Charles Edward Banks recorded his origin as Dedham, Essex, England. George became a Freeman March 1633/34 in Plymouth, although he did not appear on the Freeman List. It is possible that he emigrated from Dedham, Essex, England in 1631 and lived in Penobscot from 1631 to 1633, when he removed to Plymouth. He died at age 87, and an inventory of his estate is taken on 2nd February 1688/9. 11th Feb 1632: "Examinations of John Deacon, Henry Sampson, George Watson and Oliver Gallow before Captain Walter Neale in New England; of Thomas Willett and William Phipps before Captain Henry Keye; and of Edward Astley before Attorney - General Noye in the case of Edward Astley. (CSPC)." [Note: Contrary to the long-held belief that George Watson is the son of Robert and Elizabeth Watson of London, there is no evidence that either person ever existed in the colonies. Therefore, the origins of George's birth and parents are yet to be identified. However, an unverified entry is found of a marriage 28th Jun 1602 for Robert and Elizabeth (Pye/Peye/Paye) Watson in Holbeach, Co. Lincoln, England. Their list of children included George, Samuel, Nathaniel, Frances, Thomas, John and Robert.] "Mr. Watson was one of the most respectable and useful members of the early settlement at Plymouth, holding various offices of trust, and faithfully performing his public duties, while his prudence enabled him to become quite independent, owning large tracts of land. he reared up a family of four children - three having died in infancy - from whom have sprung many of the most useful and prominent men of the colony and state down to the present period." At the meeting of the Council of War at Plymouth, 12th May 1653, when public apprehension is aroused of armed conflict with the Dutch of New Amsterdam, two barques were pressed for the service, one the vessel in which George Watson sailed. George is a captain in the Plymouth Militia. Also, he served in 1653 as Captain of the Bark Expedition under Captain Myles Standish, against the Dutch in New York. George is deeded 1/2 share in the Taunton Iron Works on 29th March 1663/64 from James Leonard, Sr., father of his son-in-law Thomas Leonard who had married (1662) his daughter Mary Watson. He is deeded another 1/3 share in the Taunton Iron Works on 8th December 1676 from his son-in-law Thomas Leonard. George Watson accumulated wealth in Plymouth in other transactions as well. He received a house and land from Thomas Hope on 29th April 1670. He is deeded a house on 26th October 1670 from Nathaniel Masterson. He received meadow land in Mattapoiset from Joshua Tizdell (Tisdale) on 3rd June 1685. Also, George deeded land on 9th September 1681 to his son Elkanah. George Watson bought about 40 acres of land and a pond in Taunton, Massachusetts, New England from John Gilbert in 1664. The pond and land became a Massachusetts State Park sometime in the 20th century, On the the property behind the bathrooms and guard station towards the pond, a large stone is placed there with a plaque that reads. "JOHN GILBERT BORN IN ENGLAND IN 1580 CAME TO AMERICA IN 1635, WAS ONE OF 46 COHANNET PURCHASERS, SETTLED NEAR THE GREAT WEIR IN 1638, WAS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE GENERAL COURT IN 1639 IN 1641, FOR HIS SERVICES TO THE TOWN OF TAUNTON, HE WAS GRANTED THE LAND NOW OCCUPIED BY THIS PARK, HE BUILT HIS FARM HOUSE AND NAMED IT "PONDSBROOKE" AND LIVED HERE UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1657. HIS BODY IS BURIED NEAR THIS SPOT." Interestingly enough I will note here that on the hill overlooking the pond under some pine trees near this plaque, there are small groups of cobblestones embedded in the ground separated by a few feet apart in between them. There are probably quite a few different relatives buried there besides Gilbert and maybe possibly some Watson's? | Watson, Captain George (I1132)

| 5652 | P. W. SEAMANS, retired farmer, was born in Woodstock, Conn., in 1816, and reared in Steuben County, N. Y., and in the fall of 1858 came to Kansas, making claims on Sections 20 and 29, Rock Creek Township. On this farm he planted Seamans' Grove, one of the first in Nemaha County, visible for many miles in either direction, and the land-mark for the host of over-land travelers, who soon began to make such claims upon his hospitality, as to encourage him to enlarge his cabin to a fair-sized house, and build a stone stable forty feet long. While living with his wife and children in his board roofed, floorless and windowless house, a party of eight travelers, not liking his slender accommodations, pushed on one cold night and nearly froze to death on the open prairie, trying to find Seneca, then the nearest inhabited point to the West. His place was popular for years thereafter, and was known all over the west as Seamans' Grove, which name it still bears, though he sold the property in 1865. He then lived on a farm at Albany, until his final retirement to Sabetha in 1881. He married in Steuben County, N. Y., Phoebe Blakeslee, who died in 1878, leaving three children. The present Mrs. Seamans' maiden name was Sarah Russell, of Seneca County N. Y. She married Benjamin Force, who died in New York State, leaving two children - David A. Force, of Detroit, and Lizzie E., now Mrs. Blakeslee, of Elmira, N. Y. | Seamans, Parley W. (I9237)

| 5654 | p.30 "History of the Story Road", by Lloyd Moose, 1932 "On the west side of the road was what was known for years as the John Swarts farm. It was here that Old John Gilbert and his wife, Sally Lacy, settled, April 20 1842. His first wife was Rachel Lacy, sister of Sally. The Gilberts were Jersey Dutch. THey moved from New Jersey to the town of Benton,Yates Co.,NY; after some years spent there they moved to Ossian and from there to Sparta. There were three sons, I do not know about the daughters. The sons were Lester, Alonzo, and Oliver Gilbert. Oliver lived in Hornell, he married there. They had no children. After the death of John Gilbert, his son, Lester, bought the homestead and lived there to about 1878, then sold the farm to John Swarts and moved to Klipnocky,Allegany Co.,NY. Lester's wife was Harriett Dimmick. Alonzo Gilbert's first wife was Wealtha Farnsworth, his second wife was Mary Sanford, widow of Deacon William Harris. George Gilbert, who is a great-grandson, owns hte adjoining farm. The sixth generations from John Gilbert lives within a mile of the old homestead and is the daughter of Lester Mariman and Luella Wagner." | Gilbert, John (I12716)

| 5682 | Past and Present of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, 1909 DANIEL BURDITT. Among those who gained worthy prestige in the agricultural and business circles of Tippecanoe county and who proved loyal and representative citizens was Daniel Burditt, who, after becoming well established and laying by a competency for his family, passed on to his- reward in the silent land. He passed his youth much as other boys of this community, working on the old home place and attending the district schools. When twenty years of age he married Nancy Buck, who was born August 11, 1835, on the Wea Plains, near the Wabash river, in Tippecanoe county, and she was therefore seventeen years old when married, October 10, 1852. After their marriage they lived on a farm for several years, then moved to Oxford, Indiana, where Mr. Burditt conducted a store with the same success that had characterized his farming, succeeding in building up a liberal patronage and becoming an influential citizen in that vicinity. The parents of Nancy Burditt were William and Tabitha (Bidwell) Buck, the latter dying when Nancy was four years old. William Buck was a native of Ohio, having been born in Scioto county in 181 1.

He was twice married, and four children were born to him by each wife, four boys and an equal number of girls. His second wife's maiden name was Ellen Heath, who is also deceased. Both of his marriages occurred in Tippecanoe county. Mrs. Nancy Burditt, in her girlhood, attended school on the Wea Plains, later attended school in Lafayette and also at Fort Wayne.

To Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Burditt four children were born, namely: William, born June 6, 1859, was educated in Oxford, Benton county, where his birth occurred. He entered business life as a hardware merchant at which he was successful, but he is now engaged in the real estate business in West Lafayette, having built up a lucrative patronage. He married Anna Ferris, of Oxford, Indiana, on September 12, 1882, and they are the parents of three sons, Byron Lamar Burditt, the evangelist singer, is married to Bessie Bryan, of Lafayette, and they are the parents of one son, William Dean Burditt, born 1907.

| 5683 | Pat noted in a genforum in 1998 "I too am looking for relatives of Laura Gallagher, who married James Kenney in Pittsburgh, Pa. They had nine children, my mother Florence was the youngest, family stories tell that, at the time of sailing to this country, thier parents met on board a ship that sunk, they were saved and were married shortly after.
