6312 Shocking Accident at Perkinsville
On Saturday forenoon last, frightful accident occurred at Perkinsville, to Mr. Frederick Lander, a gentleman about fifty years of age, residing on Sandy Hill, being a brother-in-law of Mr. James Krein of this village. Mr. L. was in Perkinsville where he had gone to mill. While waiting for his grist to grind, he thought to assist his son, Frederick Lander, Jr., in his garden. While he had a hoe in his hand, he discovered an ox-team running away, which belonged to Mr. Hinkle who resides this side of Perkinsville. He endeavored to stop the oxen, threatening them with his hoe, but instead of turning aside, the infuriated team ran directly upon him, one ox stepping upon him, and at least one wheel running over him, breaking every rib on his left side, some more than once, and cruelly mangling the whole side. Of course he was very much injured internally. For two or three hours there seemed but little if any life in him, and Dr. Patchin pronounced him incurable. But under careful treatment he revived, being evidently in great pain. As we write there seems to be a good possibility if not probability that the suffering patient will recover.
(Western New York Advertiser, Dansville, NY, Thursday, June 6, 1867)

  • In his will of 1884 he owned 92 acres in South Dansville, valued at $670.05. He came from Germany in 1833. Aka Fritz Lander.

    6319 Si was working as a Fish and Game Warden in what is now Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, when that section of Wyoming was opened to homesteading. He filed his homestead near the old Black Rock Ranger Station and started cattle ranching. He subsequently bought out other small ranchers and farmers, and became one of the larger cattle ranchers in that section. In the 1920's, the Rockefeller Family bought out several large and small ranchers and homesteads in that part of Wyoming, including the Si Ferrin properties. He then moved his family to Jackson, Wyoming. Until the depression he became a cattle broker buying cattle from local ranchers. He drove the consolidated herds to a railhead at either Victor or Driggs, Idaho or Green River, Wyoming. He spent the rest of his life in Jackson with a loving family. Ferrin, Josiah David (I41230)

The documents also reference the appointment of Harvey Thompson as especial guardian to Hannah J. Allen.

    6321 Silas grew to maturity in New Jersey, and subsequently followed the tide of emigration westward, along with his parents family, coming with ox teams to Livingston County, when this part od the State was in its primitive condition, its dense forest being populated by the wild animals native to this region and the untotured savage, who roamed at will wherever it pleased him so to do. Boundary line were then unknown; and the early settlers cut hay indiscriminately, and pastured their cattle where they found an attractive spot. Silas located on Knibloe Hill, in the town of Sparta, and, building a typical house
    for the shelter of himself and wife, remained on his homestead the remainder of his days, occupying the humble log cabin.

    6323 Silver Lake
    On the 3rd, while a party of eighteen young couples from Nunda were
    enjoying a picnic at Silver Lake a fatal and terrible accident
    occurred to two of the number, HARRY SANDERS, son of C. K. SANDERS,
    editor of the Nunda News, aged 17 years and Miss KITTIE BAKER of the
    same place aged 15 years, about 8 p.m. took a row boat at Walkers dock
    and started out on the Lake.
    This was the last seen of them alive. In the morning their hats were
    found floating upon the water near the Dowling Sportsmen's House on
    the east side, and later the boat in which they embarked the previous
    evening was found in the rushes at the foot of the Lake.
    The Lake was covered with boats and dragging parties all day Sunday
    and Monday without any success in a vain attempt to recover the
    bodies. The parents are nearly distracted. The search will be resumed
    to-day. It is said Miss Baker is subject to fainting spells and it is
    conjectured that she might have had one in the boat and Harry going to
    her assistance both fell in and were thus drowned. Both were bright,
    intelligent children and the affair has cast a deep gloom over the
    community. This is the first accident on the Lake in over 30 years.
    Perry, July 5. J. H. T.
    P.S. 8 a.m. July 6. The bodies have just been found. Inquest now being
    held.

Of the thirteen children born to them, four died in infancy. The eldest son, Luther, went to the assistance of his country in the late war, was with "Sherman's March to the sea," and soon after his return home died from causes produced during his army life.

    Bardwell, Solomon B. (I21533)
     
    6342 Solomon Bardwell, Robert's father, was born c1763 in Massachutsetts. He was a son of Perez Bardwell and his wife, Tabitha, of Whatley, Massachusetts, and a descendant of Robert Bardwell who came to America in 1670. He served in the American Revolution from Massachusetts. During his life his surname is generally rendered as Bodwell or Budwell. As Solomon Bodwell he is found in the 1790 census of Tyrrell County, North Carolina. In 1798 or 1799, he was in the Spanish Province of Louisiana. By 1803, he was at Post Arkansas in the District of Arkansas in the Province of Louisiana. In 1808, he was claiming land on the St. Francis River in Arkansas portion of the Territory of Louisiana. By 1810, he was at the Wolf Creek settlement in what is now Pike County, Arkansas. By 1818, he was in Lawrence County, Mississippi. He died by December 1833 in Lawrence County, Mississippi, at which date an inventory was made of his estate. We know he married at least three times, possibly more. The first wife we know of is "Jiseu" Cahoon, daughter of Ezekiel Cahoon and "Crese" Neil of Tyrrell County, NC. ("Jiseu" and "Crese" are names given in the baptismal certificate of Ezekiel "Bodwell" which was written in Spainish in 1803. It appears the priest was trying to spell the names phoneticly, but I cannot tell what they are suppose to represent.) Solomon married prior to 1797 in Tyrrell County, North Carolina, Mary Poole Neal/Neel, daughter of John Poole and Dorcas Meekins and widow of William Neal/Neel. She may have died prior to his migration to Arkansas. In 1819, he married Sarah McLeod as stated previously. Bardwell, Solomon (I14828)
     
    6343 Some family trees have him born in Scotland. I don't understand where that came from (except those darn 'leafs' on Ancestry.com). 1880 census of his children all show their parents born in New York, and Thursa was living with her brother Alanson, both say born in New York and even made the point that Thursa was born in Vermont.

  • John Burns, came from Onondaga at an early date to Sweden, Monroe Co, [NY], afterward settling about two miles west of Holley in the town of Murray where he was a farmer. John Burns married Ruth Willy and their children were: Dennis, who settled in Genesee County; Andrew who settled in Murray and died at Carlton; Chauncy; Blake, who settled in Murray; Polly, who married William Knight; Thirza, who married Peleg Burrows and for her second husband Torrey Winslow; Betsy, who married John Baker; Alanson, who married Esther Smith and settled in Murray; Walter, who married Hannah Smith and settled in Murray; Henry, who settled in Illinois.

    6344 Some records state that this Elizabeth was the daughter of Samuel Shattuck. However, in the probate records of Samuel Shattuck, John Shead is mentioned as an heir (an Elizabeth Shattuck married John Shead in 1732).  Shattuck, Elizabeth (I45261)
     
    6345 Some references state this Mary Peck(d/o William) married Stephen Smith, of Gloucester, RI. However I find no primary source that shows this to be true. Mary's father was living in Dighton about the time she married Isaac Pool. Peck, Mary (I14054)
     
    6346 Some say Jacob arrived in America with the Winthrop Fleet of 1630 b ut there is no record of that or in the contemporary sailing of the ship " Mary and John" which was not part of the Winthrop Fleet ("The Winthrop Fle et of 1630, Charles Edward Banks, Boston 1930).

    Some say Jacob was from Middlesex, England. No creditable sources are kno wn confirming he was the son of an Abraham Waterhouse.

    Jacob "was in Wethersfield by 1637, when he was one of eighteen men from W ethersfield who fought in the Pequot Indian Campaign 26 may 1637, under t he command of Capt. John Mason of Windsor." (Bodge Indian Wars, pp 11-16)

    He removed to New London in 1645, at the time called Pequot, and in 16 49 he was appointed "overseer of the weirs" and was number 7 on the li st of first planters with the record of their house lots - 6 acres ne xt to John Stubens. Later in 1649 he acquired a division of land on the e ast side of the Pequot river, north of Mr. Winthrop's lot. Jacob receiv ed land from a will of Peter Collins dated 7 May 1655. Jacob deeded his s on Abraham land at Alewife Brook 13 Nov 1674. (NEHGR 1950 Vol 104, pp 186- 189 and 195)

    In 1635 Jacob Waterhouse along with Abraham and Aaron Waterhouse sailed fr om the town of Chester, England and came to America. Jacob was born in 16 05 and through his father descended from the Waterhouse family of Halif ax in West Riding which claimed their descent from Sir Gilbert Waterhou se of Kirton, living in the reign of Henry, III. Sir Gilbert Waterhouse, K night of Kirton in Lincolnshire, England, was granted a coat of arms; O r, Pile, Engrailed, Sable, (see front illustration) by Henry, III, who rei gned from 1207 to 1272.

    Jacob came to America in 1635 to find his fortune and was in Wethersfiel d, Connecticut in 1637, when he was one of eighteen men from Wethersfie ld who fought in the Pequot Indian Campaign under the command of Captain J ohn Mason of Windsor. New England colonists feared the Pequot Indians of t he Connecticut River Valley more than any other Indians in the area. In 16 36,Massachusetts settlers accused a Pequot of murdering a colonist. In rev enge, they burned a Pequot village on what is now Block Island, Rhode Isla nd. Then Sassacus, the head Pequot chief, gathered his warriors togethe r. Another chief, Uncas, helped the settlers with his band of Pequots, lat er called Mohegans. The colonists and their Indian allies attacked a Pequ ot village near West Mystic, Connecticut at sunrise on June 5, 1637. Th ey burned the village and hundreds of Indians died. Later that month, t he colonists captured most of the remaining Pequot Indians and sold them i nto slavery in Bermuda. As per account of Jacob Waterhouse and his peer Aa ron Starke, "We being soldiers under the command of Captain John Mason wi th many more when we went against the Pequot Indians. When marching throu gh Narragansett country the Narragansetts came armed and tendered themselv es to go with us in that service against the Pequots. They were readily ac cepted. As we approached Pawcatuck River, the Ninecraft and Miantonomos a nd others warned that we had come into Pequot country and advised us th at we be careful lest we should be destroyed."

    Jacob and his wife Hannah owned a house and 2¼ acres on Sandy Lane in Weth ersfield. It was here that their first three children, Rebecca Isaac,and A braham were born. In 1645 John Winthrop, the younger, founded a new to wn in Connecticut called New London. John Winthrop, the younger, was the s on of John Winthrop, governor of Connecticut in 1657, 1659- 1676. Jacob Wa terhouse was one of the original founders of New London in 1645 along wi th Roger Hempstead, Cary Latham, Thomas Miller, William Morton Isaac Will ey and Winthrop sister-in-law, Margaret Lake, and Thomas Peters, a ministe r. Marshes and meadows in the vicinity were mowed that year at Fog-Pla in by Cary Latham and Jacob. Jacob was number seven on the list of first p lanters and was chosen overseer of the weirs in 1649. He was grant ed by a general vote and joint consent of the townsmen to have six acre s, more or less, for a house lot next to John Stebins. Jacob also owned la nd north of town on the west bank of the river which covered "the ne ck at the strait's mouth", and had a grant at Alewife Brook. The remaini ng children of Jacob and Hannah, Elizabeth, John, Joseph, Benjamin, and Ja cob, Jr., were born in New London. In 1650 Jacob erected a town grist mi ll for John Winthrop, the younger, in New London, which was used continuou sly for 300 years. It is now owned by the city and is kept as an histor ic building.

    In 1646, the inhabitants of New London complained to the Commissione rs of the United Colonies of New Haven that they were abused and wrong ed by the Mohegan Indians, as their chief, Uncas came from Mohegan in a ho stile way with 300 men into the English Plantation. They took cattle belon ging to Jacob Waterhouse and William Morton and kept them for a week befo re bringing them back at the urging of Jacob Waterhouse, being partly h is cattle. The Indians were not without complaint. On May 25, 1649, John H aynes, an Indian, complained to John Winthrop, Jr. that about 30 hogs supp osedly belonging to Jacob Waterhouse had destroyed much of John Haynes' a nd other Indians' corn crop. He requested that John Winthrop, Jr. view t he damage and arrange restitution.

    Jacob's oldest child, Rebecca, was married in 1655 to Thomas Williams, S r. of Wethersfield. They moved to Wethersfield. Isaac married Sarah Pra tt in 1670 and moved to Lyme, Connecticut. He altered his name to Watrou s. Abraham married Rebecca Clark and lived in Saybrook. Jacob's sons, Jo hn and Joseph served in the King Philip's War in the campaign through Narr agansett country. John was present at the Narragansett Fort fight in Decem ber, 1767.

    King Philip became chief of the Wampanoag Indians in 1662. His Indian na me was Metacomet. As Philip saw the increasing amounts of land taken by t he settlers, he became concerned that the colonists would in time destr oy his people. King Philip's War (1675-1678) was an attempt to wipe out t he English settlements in New England. King Philip was killed in 1676 a nd the war continued for two more years. The Indians killed more than 10 00 colonists and destroyed twelve towns. In 1676 Jacob was 71 years ol d. It was thought necessary for someone to go immediately to warn some whi te settlers a few miles away, of an Indian Party in the area. Jacob undert ook this service on horseback, but going through the woods in the darkne ss of night, he rode off a precipice and was killed. His will was probat ed on September 21, 1676, dividing his holdings among his children with li fe use of their home to his wife, Hannah. Children of Jacob and Hannah Wat erhouse: Rebecca 1636-1692, Elizabeth 1639-1736, Benjamin 1655-1702 Isa ac 1641-1713, John 1650-1687, Jacob Jr. 1660-1727/28, Abraham 1644-1725, a nd Joseph 1652-1693.

    6347 Some secondary sources claim that Christopher Wadsworth came to New England in 1632 on the Lyon. This is based on a supposed relationship with WILLIAM WADSWORTH , who did come on that ship in 1632. Christopher Wadsworth is not on the passenger list for the Lyon in 1632, and there is no evidence that he was brother or any other relation of William, and, although he must have been in New England by 1632, he could have come earlier, so there is no basis for this claim Wadsworth, Christopher (I265)
     
    6348 Some sources state 10Aug1890 and 10Aug1891 - family lore states he had his mother change his birthdate in the family bible to show he was younger/older. Marriage record states he is 23 years old. Sickly, David Gray (I13819)
     
    6349 Some sources state 25 Jul 1792 - however tombstone calculation gives a birthdate of 24 Feb 1792 (died Nov 27, 1841 ae 49yrs 9m 3d) Sanford, Hezekiah (I35235)
     
    6350 Some sources state 25 Jul 1793 - however tombstone calculation gives a birthdate of 25 Apr 1798 (died Jan 9, 1881 ae 82yrs 8m 15d) Yerton, Catherine (I35236)
