6455 Stephen Tracy arrived in the Plymouth Colony just three years after the Mayflower, in 1623, aboard the "Anne". He is likely the Stephen Trace baptized 28 December 1596 at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, son of Stephen and Agnes/Anne (Erdley) Tracy.
He was one of the Separatists who had migrated to Holland to escape the persecution of the Puritans. It was there that he married his wife, Tryphosa Lee, on January 2, 1621. This is how their marriage record reads:


Leiden, Netherlands, January 2, 1621: "Steven Treas, sayworker, bachelor from England, accompanied by Anthony Clements his acquaintance, to Tryfoce Le, spinster, also from England, accompanied by Rose Jennings, her acquaintance."


They had their first child, Sarah, who was to become the next in my direct line, in Leiden, Holland in probably late 1621 or in 1622. Tryphosa then became pregnant again. At this juncture, the young couple makes a decision that must have been very difficult to make. Stephen is to come to Plymouth by himself (although he may have brought Sarah with him) leaving the pregnant Tryphosa to have her baby without him and come later.
Stephen arrived in the Plymouth Colony on July 10, 1623 and was given three acres of land when the land first was first available for private ownership. This means that two other people should have been with him, as the deal was an acre per person. The identity of those two people is unknown, but one might have been Sarah.

At any rate, Tryphosa, Jane (the second child), and possibly Sarah, if she didn't arrive with her dad, followed in 1625 on the "Jacob."

He settled in Duxbury, a settlement near Plymouth. Later, Ralph Partridge and George Partridge, other ancestors of mine, were to become his neighbors.

He is included in the records of the Plymouth colony as: Freeman: In "1633" Plymouth list of freemen, before those admitted on 1 January 1632/33; in list of freemen of 7 March 1636/7. In Duxbury section of 1639 Plymouth Colony list of freemen (with his name lined through).

Offices he held were:

Duxbury representative on committee to lay out highways, 1 Oct 1634
Plymouth colony committee to assess taxes, 3 March 1634/5, 1 March 1635/6
Coroner's jury, 2 March 1635/6
Duxbury representative to committee on the "nearer uniting of Plymouth & those on Duxburrough side," 14 March 1635/6
grand jury, 7 March 1636/7, 2 June 1640
committee to apportion hay grounds, 20 March 1636/7
Duxbury constable, 5 March 1638/9, 4 June 1639
Arbiter, 7 September 1642.
In respect to his name in connection with property records:
In 1623 Plymouth land division, granted three acres as passenger on Anne
In 1627 Plymouth cattle division, "Stephen Tracie, Triphosa Tracie, Sarah Tracie, Rebecka Tracie" were the fifth through eighth names in the tenth company.
Assessed 18 s in Plymouth tax lists of 25 march 1633 and 27 march 1634.
He appears to on the list of purchasers. Permitted to mow "within his own ground", 1 July 1633;
Assigned mowing ground, 14 March 1635/6, 20 March 1636/7, granted eighty acres with some meadow additional, at the North River.
Stephen Tracy returned to England, as early as 1643, but at least by 1654. Stephen Tracy is not included in the 1643 list of men able to bear arms, and is not seen in any later Plymouth Colony record. It should be noted that during this period of time Cromwell was rising to power and King Charles was beheaded. Perhaps this change in climate towards a pro-Puritan government beckoned him. Whatever reason beckoned his return to England, his kids were old enough to fend on their own, and decided to stay in the Colony.
On 20 March 1654/5, while in London, Stephen Tracy "at present of Great Yarmouth in old England" made his will, in the form of a power of attorney to John Winslow, disposing to:

son John "what land and houses I have there in Duxburrow" (along with some cattle)
to "my daughter Ruth Tracy one cow an done two year old mare,"
and "what cattle I have more (Marye's two cows being cast in amongst them) to be equally divided among my five children living in New England," noting that some of his children are married with children, and others are unmarried.
He died after 20 March 1654/5, the date of his will. We don't know for sure if his wife, Tryphosa, died in America or England, but speculate she died before Stephen, as she was not mentioned in his will.
His children, according to the Great Migration Begins, were:

1. Sarah, b Leiden about January, 1623; m Plymouth, November 1638, George Partridge
2. Rebecca, b Plymouth say 1625; m 1645 William Merrick
3. Ruth, b say 1628; living unmarried 1655
4. Mary, b say 1630, living perhaps unmarried 1655
5. John, b say 1632, married about 1661 Mary Prence, daughter of Thomas Prence

6456 Stephen was a carpenter by trade, and came to New England in 1635,
with his family, settling in Charlestown,MA. He was a freeman 07 Sep
1638. Charlestown records state that Stephen Fosdick was fined twenty
pounds for reading anabaptist books and was excommunicated 07 May
1643. It is noted that his neighbors were sill friends. He died
twenty-one years later in Malden,MA.

He was born September 24, 1848, and was the son of the late David B. Brooks. He was a prosperous farmer and will be greatly missed in his community and by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, whose maiden name was Carrie B. McChesney whom he married in 1891; one half brother, Joseph Brooks, of Sonyea.

    6459 Steuben County history names Eleanor as Eleanor Dow, born Tompkins Co.,NY. Newspaper marriage notice of Eleanor Dow and Joel Russell at Tompkins Co. Clerks office shows Eleanor "of Hector". The only Dow from that area for decades was one Hon. John Dow. John Dow stated in a autobiography that he married twice and had two children, both from his first wife. The children were Polly who married John Dunham and Lucy who married Greeley Davis. The mother of these two daughters would have been to old to be the mother of Eleanor. County histories state Roswell Shephard of Reading Center, married one of John Dow's daughters and resided in Reading Center. The daughter couldn't have been John's natural daughter, but an adopted daughter from his second wife Temperance Leek, who is shown as living in Hector in the 1820 census. In the 1865 census she is living with her son-in-law Roswell Shephard and daughter Anna Maria. The census indicates she had a total of 5(five) children. In Anna Maria Shephard's death cert., her parents are listed as Daniel Leek and Temperance Corwith. Back to Eleanor, as her name is given as Eleanor Dow, much like her sister, Anna Maria Dow, Eleanor Dow is in fact Eleanor Leek, daughter of Daniel and Temperance Leek. One additional note, in the 1855 Census, Eleanor is shown as being born in New Jersey, versus Tompkins Co.,NY as stated by the history. I would have to believe the Census record more because she was most likely present when the census taker came around. The history was written almost thirty years after her death and was given to the author by Joel Russell, who would believe she was born in Tompkins Co., because that is where she was from when he met her. Leek, Eleanor (I136)

    6479 Submitted to Mrs Lou Chauncey Wheeler, Historian, Coldwater Chapter of D.A.R. by M. Belle Huff Schmedlen (3rd child by 2nd wife of Henry Huff):
    Henry Huff resided in New York for a few years prior to moving to Michigan in 1834. He and his brother and family made the trip in a covered wagon. The wagon became home until they could fell trees to build a log house.
    In 1840, Henry Huff married Mariah Franklin. Mariah died in 1847 leaving one daughter, Sarah. In 1851, Henry Huff married Mary Briggs of Honeoye, New York. They had three daughters; Fannie, Eva and Mary Belle.
    Henry Huff bought two hundred and forty acres of land in Hillsdale County, Michigan. He, with the help of one hired man, cleared the land with an ox team. They often averaged two acres per day. Huff rapidly acquired a fortune, by hard but ingenious labor. He improved his stock by importing cattle from his native state, New Jersey, and sheep from Vermont. He was one of the first importers in Michigan and paid as high as $3,000 for one sheep. His stock was on exhibition at fairs and received their merited first premiums. Huff also gave great care to the raising of 1" bees and was a large honey dealer. He was one of the men who established the Hillsdale County Fair.
    Henry Huff was also one of the founders of Hillsdale College. He served the County as Supervisor for a period of nine years and served in the Michigan State Legislature two terms as Senator. His portrait still hangs in the Hillsdale County Court House.
    Henry Huff was one of a few successful men who were willing to share the honor of their prosperity equally with his wife. In describing Mary Briggs Huff, it had been said; "A more thorough lady, and one more willing to help and encourage her husband, and more ready to assist the poor, is seldom found in any community."
    Mr. and Mrs. Huff were members of the Methodist Church. They both sang in the choir for many years. Henry Huff died at the age of fifty-nine, honored and beloved by all who knew him. His untimely death was caused from the effects of an injury received when his team of spirited horses ran away at the Hillsdale County Fair.

    6481 SUFFERED STROKE AT DINNER TABLE
    Mrs. Sophronia Hamsher died at the home of her cousin, Mrs. J. F. Deitzel, last week Thursday night, at 9 o'clock, aged 63 years. Deceased was born in Scottsburg and was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William and Elizabeth Hamsher, and her entire life, with the exception of a few years in the west, has been spent in this section where for many years she taught school, and has many relatives and acquaintances in this place and Dansville. Last October she engaged as housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. George Stannarius and remained with them until about three weeks ago when she left on account of illness, having been taken with grippe a week previous. She visited Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Curtis, relatives, and last Thursday morning went to Mrs. J. F. Deitzel's. At the dinner table she was stricken with paralysis and grew gradually worse until a severe shock in the evening caused her death. She was a Christian woman and esteemed by all who knew her, and the suddenness of her death deeply moved her relatives and friends, as she was in her usual health prior to being taken sick with the grippe. A short prayer service was held at the home of Mrs. Deitzel on Monday morning at eight o'clock and the remains were removed to the English Lutheran church at Dansville, where services were held. Interment was at Sparta Center, beside her father and mother. Two brothers survive: Fred, of Detroit, Mich.; and Elmer, of Rochester.
