John, Liddia; and burials for their children John, Catheren, James, Martha, John, William, Hanna and Lidia (five of whom died in Aug. 1625) with the note that "during the plague year of 1625, burials during Jul, Aug and Sep frequently reached 40 or 50 a day," The American Genealogist, V. 51, No. 1, Jan 1975, in an article "More on the children of William Collier" identified baptisms of James and Martha.

Notes from: http://www.gendex.com/users/hhadaway/harry/nti02032.htm William Collier Birth: BEF 1590 ,England Death: 1670 probably, Duxbury, Massachusetts Notes: He came to New England in 1633. He lived in Duxbury. The signature of William Collier appears in the Composition with the Plymouth Colony on 15/25 November 1626. (See Arber 1897, p.321). Apparently this one of the only 42 people in England with some stake in Plymouth Plantation at the time. He served as Assistant Governor of the Plymouth Colony. He was reported to be the "Richest Man in the Colony". He was an advocate of Religious Toleration. From Leon Clark Hills, "Cape Cod Series, Vol. II, WILLIAM COLLIER: History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters and first Comers to Ye Olde Colonie." Hills Pub. Co., Washington D.C., 1941: He was a Merchant Adventurer & Brewer of London, and very active in support of the New England Settlers. In fact, he was one of those to subscribe for special aid to the Plymouth colonists on Nov 15, 1626. He finally decided, like so many other merchants, to remove himself and family to America. It is not surprising to find him, his four daughters and apprentices (not servants), among whom were the brothers John, Job, and Daniel Cole, disembarking from the good ship "Mary and James," together with 190 other passengers when it arrived at Plymouth in 1633. His wife probably had died, leaving him with the children. He was an able man and soon took a high position in the Colony, especially in the matter of final settlement of acounts with the London Adventurers. He was a comissioner at the first meeting of the United Colonies in 1643, and served as Governor's Assistant from 1634 to 1665, a period of 31 years. The Court ordered a special aide for him in 1659, on account of "age and much business." Note: he was also in on the first purchase of Dartmouth in 1652. A posting on soc.roots by Jerry.Hodges{windmill,agape}.com, 3009 47th Lubbock TX 79413, claimed that one of his wives was Jane Clark, and a dau. of their was Ruth (Collier) COLE, wife of Daniel Cole. : Jane at ,England Source Chrisman Pedgree --------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COLLIER, WILLIAM - One of the few Adventurers to come to live in New England, he was praised by Nathaniel Morton (New Englands Memoriall, p. 91): "This year [1633] likewise Mr. William Collier arrived with his Family in New-England, who as he had been a good Benefactor to the Colony of New-Plimouth before he came over, having been an Adventurer unto it at its first beginning; so also he approved himself a very useful Instrument in that Jurisdiction after he arrived, being frequently Chosen, and for divers years serving God and the Country in the place of Magistracy, and lived a godly and holy life untill old Age." He was often elected an Assistant between 1634/35 and 1665, and he appeared to side with the more conservative leaders, such as in the 1645 fight with Vassal]. James Cudworth wrote that "Mr. Collier last June would not sit on the Bench, if I sate there" (Bishop, p- 176). He was on the Council for War, and he served at times as a commissioner of the United Colonies. He resided in Duxbury, and in 1649/50 he deeded ten acres of land in Duxbury to "my kinsman William Clark" (PCR 12:182). Collier married Jane Clark at St. Olave, Southwark, 16 May 1611, and he and his wife had four daughters with them in Plymouth Colony: Sarah, who married (1) Love Brewster and (2) Richard Parke of Cambridge; Rebecca, who married Job Cole; Mary, who married Thomas Prence; and Elizabeth, who married Constant Southworth- Robert S. Wakefield, "More on the Children of William Collier," TAG 49:215 and 51:58, identified eight other children in England (all of whom had died young there), and he showed that Collier had lived in St. Mary Magdalen Parish, Bermondsey, Surrey, and St. Olave Parish, Southwark. In the St. Olave register he was called a grocer. Bradford referred to a "brew-house of Mr. Colliers in London" (Ford 2:125). On 7 June 1653 Mrs. Jane Collier made a claim on behalf of her grandchild, the wife of Nathaniel 2 Warren (MD 3:141). The grandchild was Sarah (Walker) Warren, who was baptized at St. Olave, Southwark, 10 November 1622, the daughter of William Walker (TAG 51:92). On 2 December 1661 William Collier of Duxbury, gentleman, with the consent of Mrs. Jane Collier, sold all his house and land that he was living on in Duxbury to Benjamin Bartlett, who was not to enter into possession until the death of both William and Jane Collier. Collier died before 5 July 1671, when men were appointed to administer his estate (PCR 5:68). An excellent documented narrative of various aspects of his life is given in Moore Families, P. 196-205.

| 5762 | Polly Ann Benton departed this life in East Virgil, Dec. 8, 1852, aged 46 years. Her disease was consumption. She experienced religion about thirty years ago, at a camp meeting, and soon after joined the M.E. Church, in which she lived and died. The subject of this memoir was married to Isaac Benton in May 1826, by whom she had ten children, three of them died before her, two daughters and one son, all within two years previous to her own departure. As she had long since given her heart to God and was endeavoring to lead a Christian life, she met these trials as a Christian, and seemed to be perfectly resigned to the will of God. Sister Benton's life, as a Christian, was consistent. In her sickness, which was long and painful, she was resigned, happy, and sometimes triumphant, and her death was peaceful. She now rests from her labors. In the death of this sister, the Church has lost a worthy member, her family a kind and worthy companion, and a tender and affectionate mother. May her companion and seven remaining children so live that they may meet her in Heaven. NORTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE 1853 | Grindley, Polly Ann (I44417)

| 5764 | Polly(Mary Stanley) graduated from Hornell High School in 1920. She lived with her aunt, Mrs. John Stanley, after the death of her mother in 1905. She was said have had a very tough time as a little girl, living with her mothers family, having to hear about how "improper those Allen's are." Audrey Allen, said that Grandma was not even aloud to play with the neighbor kids because she was an Allen. Grandma never mentioned anything about her father having been Divorced before marring her mother. This was look down upon at the time and may have been why her parents went to Steuben County to get married by a Justice of the Peace. Grandma always spoke highly of her father and of his third wife Edith Jotry. She so wanted to go and live with them, but from what I understand, they were always traveling and it would be no place for a little girl, so she was told. HORNELL- Polly(Mary) Burdett, 105, formerly of Burdett Road, died Friday (Feb.6, 2004) in Hornell Gardens, where she has been a resident for the past seven years.

Burdett, who died in 1965; onwe grandson, David Burdett; a great-grandson, Shane Burdett; and a great-great grandson, Xavier Drake. Living most of her life in the Hornell area, she was a graduate of the former Hornell Acedamy. Polly was a seamstress, employed by the former Hickey-Freeman Co., Inc. of Hornell for 20 years, retiring in 1967. She loved doing handwork with her crocheting and making several beautiful quilts.

| 5768 | Poor "Jeb" Under The Sod. On Sunday morning last died at the county house Lucien D. Grover, familiarly known as "Jep," at the age of 40 years. He was the victim of strong drink and the irregularities which usually accompany this habit. He was born in Springwater and has spent much of his erratic life in Dansville. He went to California about 1857, and joined a regiment there during the war, and served in it for some time. He was a brother of Leonard Grover, the well known theatrical and operatic manager. He possessed natural abilities which, if they had been properly cultivated and directed, would have rendered his life a bright success instead of the sad failure which it was. He had a fine taste for music, an extraordinary memory of the details of musical compositions, and the peculiarities of different musicians so that he could play on his violin a great variety of pieces from having heard them, and although without a musical education, was a discriminating music critic. This was a few years ago. Within the past four or five years he was gone down, down very rapidly, and became almost idiotic sometime before he died. Poor Jep. His bones now lie in our Greenmount cemetery. (Dansville Advertiser, Dansville, Livingston County, New York, Thursday, October 11, 1877) | Grover, Lucien D. (I46804)

Resides two miles from Dwight, in Livingston County, Illinois. Second - To the second interrogatory, he saith, I was acquainted with Abraham Staley, late of Johnstown, N.Y. Have been acquainted with him ever since I can remember. I was intimately acquainted with him. He was my brother, was with him until he left my father's family. He died in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois the last of September or the first of October, last year. Third - To the third interrogatory, he saith, It is the same. I was present at the time it was executed. I saw the said Abraham Staley subscribe his name to it, or make his mark the same. He made that mark in my presence. Fourth - To the fourth interrogatory, he saith, I have said that I saw him make his mark. He did not talk about it afterwards to my recollection. Fifth - The fifth interrogatory, he saith, that Jacob I. Keck, and Eugene Canfield were present. Abraham, I called him my brother, told me what he would give the different ones, and he told Mr. Canfield who wrote it down in this Will. Mr. Canfield afterwards read it over to him, and he said that was right. To Obadiah, thats his son, he gave four hundred dollars. To Laney, his daughter he gave four hundred dollars. He gave to Mary Ann Welch, his daughter, one hundred and fifty dollars. I am pretty sure to Catharine Steele, his daughter, a widow he gave one hundred and fifty dollars. To Ann Nickloy, he gave one hundred dollars. I am pretty sure she was his daughter. I am most lost, but I believe he gave to Michael Staley, one hundred and fifty dollars. I am not sure but I think it was that. To John N. Staley, he gave fifty dollars. To Adam Staley's family he gave twenty dollars. He told me that he ad done a good deal for them, but he would give them a little something. I am not quite positive about this, but it was that I think. That comprehends the whole I guess. I remember now that he said that his wife should have her maintenance out of the property as long as she lived, if she wanted it. He said that if there was surplus or a deficiency in property from what he calculated, that it should be divided among them proportionately. Sixth - To the sixth interrogatory, he saith, he knows the persons who signed the Will with himself. Their names are Jacob I. Keck and Eugene Canfield. They are living in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. Saw both of them sign the instrument as witnesses. Nothing special took place at the time it was signed. Seventh - To the seventh interrogatory, he saith, The state of Abraham Staley's mind and memory was right at the time the Will was executed. I thought of it and noticed it at the time. He was under no restraint. He was competent to transact business at the time. I took particular notice. Eighth - To the eighth interrogatory, he saith, I know of no other matter that would tend to the proving of the last Will and Testament of Abraham Staley.

He died in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois, as near I can recollect about the middle of October. Third - To the third interrogatory, he saith, I was present at the executing of this deed as a witness. I saw Abraham Staley subscribe his name to this deed, by making a mark or cross. Fourth - To the fourth interrogatory, he saith, I saw him subscribe his name or make his mark. Fifth - To the fifth interrogatory, he saith, Mr. Aaron Staley and Mr. Eugene Canfield, were present and no one else. Abraham Staley was asked if the deed was as he wanted it, and he said it was. I heard him make no statements or requests about it. I was there only while it was being subscribed. I went out soon after. Sixth - To the sixth interrogatory, he saith, I know the persons who signed the deed as witnesses with me. They were Aaron Staley and Mr. Eugene Canfield. Mr. Aaron Staley is living and resides in Grundy County, Illinois. Mr. Eugene Canfield is living in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. I saw each of them sign their names to the deed as witnesses. Nothing took place as I know of at the time it was signed as I know of. Seventh - To the seventh interrogatory, he saith, I think that he was as well as he had been for a long time. He answered questions correctly and so on. I think he was all right in mind and memory. Eighth - To the eighth interrogatory, he saith, I don't know as I know as I know of anything more that would tend to prove the will. Jacob I Keck Examination taken, reduced to writing, and by the witness subscribed and sworn to this 26th day of May 1866 before John C. Sherwin, Commissioner Eugene Canfield, of the City of Aurora, County of Kane, State of Illinois, an attorney at law, aged twenty-nine years and upwards, being duly and publicly sworn pursuant to the directions hereunto annexed and examined on the part of the executors, doth depose and say as follows: First - To the first interrogatory, he saith, my name is Eugene Canfield age twenty-nine years, profession that of an Attorney at Law. Residence - Aurora, Kane County, Illinois Second - To the second interrogatory, he saith, I was slightly acquainted with Abraham Staley, lately deceased, said to be of Johnstown, Fulton County, New York, in his lifetime. I met him, however, but once and that was upon the occasion of the making and execution of a will attached to the Commission, and under which I am being examined in this case. I do not know of my own knowledge where, or when he died, but I am informed and believe the information to be true, that he died at the house of his daughter in the city of Aurora, sometime in the month of October last. Third - To the third interrogatory, he saith, I have looked at the instrument mentioned as requested, and recognize it, as the last Will and Testament of the said Abraham Staley, deceased. The will was drawn by me at his request and under his directions. I was present as a witness at the time of the execution of the same at the request of the said Abraham Staley. I wrote his name opposite the seal thereon, with the words "his mark" and in his presence. He then made the mark or cross, enclosed by those words, in my presence and stated that he adopted the same as his signature and seal by so doing. Fourth - To the fourth interrogatory, he saith, In my answer to the last interrogatory, Ihave not stated as is implied in the third interrogatory. I had no conversation subsequent to the execution of the said Will with the said Abraham Staley, in regard to the same except that he desired me immediately after its execution, to seal the same up, and deliver it to his brother, Aaron Staley for safe keeping during his lifetime and remarked to me that he had no money to pay me for drawing the will but that I would be paid by him or someone sometime in the future. Fifth - To the fifth interrogatory, he saith, Mr. Aaron Staley and Mr. Jacob I Keck, and no other persons were present in the room where Mr. Abraham Staley was at the execution of the will except myself. In an adjoining room there were a number of persons whose names I don't know, but who I was informed were children and grandchildren of the said Abraham Staley. Very little conversation took place at that particular time. The will was executed about seven o'clock in the evening. About two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I was called upon at my office by Mrs. Nickloy, who desired me to accompany her to the house of a sister of hers, in the lower part of the city about a mile distant for the purpose of drawing a will. I went with her to the place indicated and found Mr. Abraham Staley, and a number of children and grandchildren of his and Mr. Aaron Staley, his brother there. Mr. Abraham Staley, Aaron Staley and myself were in a room by ourselves, the other persons being in an adjoining room. Mr. Abraham Staley told me he wished to have me draw his will and then in conversation with myself and Aaron Staley, he proceeded to state how he desired to dispose of his property, and who he desired to have act as his executors. I made memorandums from time to time in regards to the disposition that he desired to make of his property and discussed with him very freely in regards to the best manner of carrying into effect his intentions as expressed by him. Mr. Aaron Staley took considerable part in the conversation. I cannot now recollect what was said as a matter escaped my mind, and I thought nothing further about it. After I had seen the will executed. The will however executed by him and drawn by me, expresses the result of his desires as expressed at that time with regards to the disposition of his property. This interview lasted I should think about an hour. After it was over I took my memorandums, left the house, and returned to my office, drafted the will shown me and which was afterwards executed, and after tea returned. Mr. Aaron Staley and myself were in the room alone, at this last interview that I am now about to describe with Mr. Abraham Staley, for a while. I read over to Mr. Abraham Staley in the presence of Mr. Aaron Staley, very carefully and he listened very attentively to my reading the draft of the will which I had prepared. After I had finished he seemed to consider a moment, and then asked the amount of one of the legacies, which one, I have forgotten. I referred to the will and re-read that portion. He then said that the will was right, just as he wanted it. I then asked him who he desired to have witness the execution of the will. He answered that he would like to have his brother, who was present, myself and Mr. Keck to do so. I stepped to the door and requested Mr. Keck to come into the room where we were. He did so and I closed the door. Either before or after Mr. Keck came in he requested those of us who were present not to disclose the contents of his will to anyone during his lifetime. After Mr. Keck came in as before stated, I placed the will before Mr. Abraham Staley for execution. He desired me to write his name, and said he would affix his mark. I did so, as stated by me in my answer to a former interrogatory and again placed the draft of the will before him, when he made the mark or cross on it. The will I have spoken of is the same attached to the Commission and shown me. I then asked him if he declared that to be his last Will and Testament. Her replied, yes. I then asked him if he desired to have Mr. Aaron Staley, Mr. Keck and myself sign the will as witnesses. He replied, yes. We then did so, in his presence, and in the presence of each other. Either myself or Mr. Aaron Staley then asked him, I think myself, what should be done with the will, or who should have the custody of it. He asked Mr. Staley if he would take care of it for him, and he replied that he would. He then requested me to seal the same up and give it to Mr. Aaron Staley. I did so. He then asked me how much my fee was for drafting the will. I replied two dollars, he then said that he had not the money to pay me by him, but that I should be paid. He then remarked that perhaps it might be necessary to have something further done by me in my professional capacity sometime and desired me in case he died to advise his brother in regard to the proving of the will and render any assistance that might be desired, in the settling of his state. He said he thought that he might not live long, as he was an old man and sick, and if he didn't pay me the estate would. I think that no other conversation took place except what I have related at this interview, except the ordinary salutations when I bade them good evening. I then left the house. Sixth - To the sixth interrogatory, he saith, I know the persons whose names are signed as subscribing witnesses to said will. Their names are Aaron Staley and Jacob I. Keck, they are both living. Mr. Aaron Staley now resides, as I am informed at Dwight, Livingston County, Illinois. At the time of the execution of the will he resided in DuPage County, Illinois. Mr. Keck resides in this city, that is in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. I saw both of them subscribe their names to the will as witnesses. I have already answered what took place at the time in my previous answers and refer to them to avoid repetition. Seventh - To the seventh interrogatory, he saith, I necessarily paid particular attention to Mr. Abraham Staley, at the time of the execution of the Will and at the former interview in the afternoon. He appeared to be an old man, quite an old man, and seemed to be quite ill. I thought however at the time to be in the full possession of his mental faculties, and should say that he was of sound and disposing mind and memory at the time of the execution of said instrument. He was under no restraint as far as my knowledge, information or belief extends. As far as his mind and memory were concerned he was competent to transact business, as far as I am a judge. Eighth - To the eight interrogatory, he saith, I know of nothing further except as herein before stated. Eugene Canfield Examination taken reduced to writing and by the witness subscribed and sworn to this 26th day of May 1866 before John C Sherwin, Commissioner Fulton County, S.S. Recorded the preceding last Will and Testament of Abraham Staley, deceased, as a Will of Real and Personal Estate, together with the proofs taken in the Surrogates Court, of Fulton County relating to said last Will and Testament, which record is hereby signed and certified, by me pursuant to the provisions of the Revised Statutes this 4th day of June in the year 1866.
