| 6505 | Tabitha's madian name has been written as Hastings in some genealogies. However, in a baptismal record of her grandson Ezekiel John Bardwell in Arkansas his grandparents are listed as Peres Bardwell and Tabitha Dickinson of MA. "I have not found the parents of Tabitha Dickinson or found confirmation that our interpretation of her maiden name as Dickinson found in Ezekiel Bardwell's baptismal record is correct. However, I did search the Genealogies of Hadley Families, Embracing the Early Settlers of the Towns of Hatfield, South Hadley, Amherst and Granby (Compiled by Lucius M. Boltwood Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1979) which gives a fairly good listing of Nathaniel Dickinson's descendants. There is no Tabitha listed in this publication although she could have been overlooked. I went through this listing and picked out the male descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson that were old enough to be Tabitha's father or grandfather who were indicated as having survived childhood and for whom there was no further information available. From this the most attractive prospect as a father of Tabitha is the following: Joel Dickinson, son Nathaniel Dickinson (1670-1745) and Hannah White (1679-1756), born 23 March 1715/16 in Hatfield, Hampshire County, MA. This is the extent of the information in the History of Hatfield, but on-line sources indicate Joel married Rachel Coombs/Combs on November 3, 1738. She was born 6 September 1714 in Springfield, Hampden County, MA. Her father was John Coombs/Combs of Northampton, MA. She is said to have died 3 April 1787 in Conway, Franklin County, MA. According to one source, Joel "Removed to Whately about 1751 with a family of children and settled at the junction of the Mother George Road with Chestnut Plain Street, directly East of the Stockade monument, and it was his house and about three-fourths of an acre of his land that was enclosed by the stockade where those living in that section could fly for safety. The family removed to Conway before 1771, perhaps as soon as 1767, and then later to Phelps, N.Y., where he died. Was Capt. Elijah William's company, expedition to Canada, 1755 and 1756." "early as 1750. at the "straits" (so called) by Joseph Belding, Sergt. John Wait, Elisha Smith. David Graves and Joseph Scott. Here they erected the first dwelling in the territory. A few years afterwards, houses were built on "Chestnut Plain Street" by Lieut. Ebenezer Bardwell, Thomas Crafts and Deacon Joel Dickinson, which were the first buildings in the central part of the town. " I have seen no authoritative listing of the children of Joel Dickinson, but considering he lived at Whatley when Perez Bardwell did, moved to Conway, where Perez Bardwell was living in 1790, is said to have died in Phelps, New York where Perez is also said to have died, and Perez and Tabitha had a son named Joel, perhaps Joel Dickinson is worth further research to eliminate or confirm him as a prospect as father of Tabitha Dickinson. | Dickinson, Tabitha (I401)

| 6524 | Terrible Murder A Former Resident of Wayland Murders his Wife in a Fit of Desperation A report was circulated on our streets last week to the effect that Nicholas Bill, a former resident of the town of Wayland, but lately residing in The Dallas, Oregon, had murdered his wife and then commit suicide to escape the penalty of the law. Monday evening in the company with C. Dick, we visited Christian Bill, father of the above-mentioned Nicholas Bill, who lives by the side of the bullhead pond on the road between this village and Wayland, and from him received the letters published below, which will explain the situation of affairs to a certain extent. The first letter written to Jacob Werdein of Perkinsville as follows: The Dalles, June 1st, 1880. Estimable Friend, Jacob Werdein: - I take the liberty to ask of you a favor, and sincerely hope that you will perform it, namely, Be so kind as to read the enclosed letter directed to my father, and you will ascertain what I have done, then take the letter to my father, read it to him and console him in the best conceivable way. Beg of him not to be provoked, for I could not do otherwise. As I learned this morning, and I am therefore prepared now to die willingly. Ere the sun shall make its appearance over my head I will be a corpse also, and perhaps before it goes down to-night. I will not allow myself to be brought to justice. What for? I am considered in the world as a murderer, and death is certain, but nevertheless I hope that God will not look upon me as such, for he alone knows the sufferings I have endured. No human being is aware of what hardship and misery I have stood for the past nine years. I beg of you all, my friends, relatives and acquaintances, be not irritated for my deed is irrevocable. Jacob, you know what I have endured while with you and here. While here she was a greater plaque than formerly, for she coaxed and misled the children. The oldest of my boys has also left me since last Sunday. He was in the house at the fatal moment. I hope no one will ever be so unfortunate as to witness such an instance. These few lines I am writing in a woods, a wilderness, where no one can find me. I am to-day closely watched and sharply looked for by three sheriffs and perhaps more. I was at a neighbor's house about two hours ago. Live well, live well, for you never will hear from me again. Farwell to all until your death. From your friend, Nicholas Bill. The Second letter needs no explanation: The Dalles, May 31, 1880 Dear Father, Brothers and Sisters, and All Acquaintances: - With blood-stained hands and clothing, and at the same time as a murderer, I pick up this pen and send my farewell greeting for I murdered this afternoon the Wretch, May God forgive me, for his alone knows the extent of my sufferings. I am present sitting in the woods from where I write to inform you of the sad news. Would God that I could see you all once more, but that cannot be. Before you receive this letter, I think I will rest in the lap of the cool earth, for I will not give myself up to justice. My God console you for my bringing you such disgrace, but father, I could not do otherwise; for yesterday Christian also left me, and to-day I went to him and asked if he was not coming back to my home, and he responded with a no; whereupon I asked him for what reason and he said, because I had sued his mother, and consequently he desired to support her. An furthermore, he said I had driven him around as a dog long enough and was not disposed to submit to it any longer. This had a tendency to create great sadness and also made me very angry. Then upon my way home I perceived the "wretch" in company with Barbara slowly stealing along to ascertain what Barbara's husband, Christian and myself were contemplating, then I came to the conclusion to murder her, and immediately went home, took my revolver, shot gun and dagger, returned again and found them (Christian, Barbara, and the "wretch") sitting at the table, whereupon I fired four or five times at the "wretch." How often the shots took effect I do not know. Then I stabbed her in the breast and side until she fall to the floor. In the meantime, Christian gave me a tremendous blow across the head with the stock of my gun, causing the flow of blood and very nearly brought me to the floor, and then he ran off to call Barbara's husband. Nevertheless, that I know that she is dead I will die willingly. My life has been one sadness and a great burden ever since the "wretch" has made her appearance, and since then I never had an rest day or night, and therefore think myself better off dead than alive. It is of course a disgrace to the family, but I beg of you all not to get angry but forgive and pardon me from the bottom of your hearts. I can now also repeat the old prayer "Through deep misery I cry to thee, O Lord; listen to my supplications, etc." If I could have thought so nine years ago my children would at present possess a nice little fortune, but as it is I think not much will remain. I was at work enclosing my land with a fence but how it will proceed I am not aware of. My fruit is in very good condition. Dear father, one thing more I wish to call your attention to. Should you at your death leave any property my me, be so kind and will it to Jacob, Catherine and Adam, for I do not wish to have any bequeathed to Christian or any of the remaining children except the three younger ones. I made my testament about fourteen days ago and bequeathed everything to my four smallest children. I do not think I ever could get my property again which lays in the city, that is as long as I am living. Dear Father, I do leave here a host of good friends such as I had when living near you but all my good friends cannot help me, but may God forgive my miserable sin. May you all live well till I see you again in the next world. God stand by you all. From your son - Nicholas Bill From friends of the unfortunate man, we have been able to learn these facts: Twenty-five years ago, Nicholas Bill married May Bill, and the second year after they were married, she left him for a time but finally came back. About nine years ago she again left him, and began suit to obtain possession of the property, which was continued until the property was used up. He then moved to Pennsylvania, taking his children — some eight or more — except the oldest girl. His wife followed him, and finding it unpleasant to be near here, he about five years ago went to Oregon. Some of his friends advised him not to take his children so far west, but to settle in one of the more eastern states, but his reply was that he would go to the ends of the earth where he could live at peace with his children. He purchased a lot of land and was in the prospering finely, when last April his wife made her mind to follow him, and in company with a cousin who had lately come from Germany, she went to him. What his life has been since her arrival can be surmised from his letter. Matters evidently had gone from bad to worse, until in a fit of desperation he stained his hands with her blood and put the brand of Cain on his own forehead. His friends here were at first inclined to doubt that he had added the crime of suicide to his greater crime, but the following from the Police News of June 24 dispels all doubt in the matter: Nicholas Bills who brutally murdered his wife at the house of his son-in-law, of Moshler Creek, Wasco County, Oregon, and then fled, was found in his house June 4th, dead having, shot himself with a pistol. Lying on the bed and placing the muzzle of the pistol under his left ear, he fired, blowing out his brains. Near the body a letter was found, explaining the motive of the murder of his wife and his suicide. The letter is written in German, and addressed to W. M. Hand, editor of the Dalles Mountaineer. The letter disclosed that both the murder and the suicide were premeditated and were caused by the thought that his wife came from the east to estrange the children from him. This terrible transaction is a sad blow to his friends and especially to his father who is advanced in years and unable to bear the burden of woe that has suddenly been cast upon him. We are indebted to E. M. Schuchart for a translation of the above letters from German to English. (The Dansville Express, Dansville, New York, Thursday, June 24, 1880) The particulars, as near as we could learn are as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Bills had not lived together for some years, the former residing here with his younger children and the latter in the East. Lately, Mrs. Bills came out to Oregon for the purpose of seeing her family. She had been stopping at her daughter's - Mrs. Robert Dinsmore- about twelve miles from this city, near the Sandy Wagon Road. About two months ago, when she first came out here, she and Mr. Bills had a quarrel. An elder brother had left the paternal roof some time ago and was staying with his sister, Mrs. Dunsmore. The father was so cross that the young man thought he could do better away from home. There were three children at home, Jacob, 16 years old, a girl 12, and the youngest, a boy 10. On the morning of the tragedy, Mr. Bills sent his youngest boy to Dinsmore's to tell the older brother to come home. The boy came back and told his father that the elder brother had refused. Mr. Bills and his son Jacob were building a fence about a quarter mile from the house. After eating dinner, Mr. Bills went down to Dinsmore's house and came back and got his shotgun and bowie knife, and again proceeded to Dinsmore's house. Immediately upon entering, he shot his wife twice in the stomach and then stabbed her with the knife. It was done so suddenly that the inmates had no time to interfere. The elder brother grabbed the shotgun out of his father's hand and clubbed it over his head. The father immediately fled. Our informant was the son of the murdered and murderer, and arrived in town about 4 o'clock, having left Mr.Dinsmore's house about 2. He was in such an excited state that it was impossible to learn any definite particulars. He said as he left, he saw his sister washing the body of her murdered mother. A warrant was immediately issued for the arrest of Bills, and the Sheriff sent one of his deputies in pursuit. Up to the time of going to press no arrests were made. The following is a description of Bills; about 53-60 years of age, 6', 1" in height, high cheekbones, weighs about 180 pounds, has no beard or whiskers, and face kept smoothly shaven, dark blue eyes, and speaks fair English. On the following night, Mr. Bills committed suicide after leaving a letter addressed to the Editor of the Mountaineer stating the cause of his actions.

| 6530 | THE ALFRED SUN, WEDNESDAY, March 21, 1900 A Terrible Fire. Eugene Ferrin's Home Burned To the Ground Early Sunday Morning and Two of His Children Perish in The Flames Last Sunday morning the inhabitants of this community received a shock, Which, while it excited the sensibilities, at the same time touched the Inmost hearts and sympathetic natures of all, when it was learned that the home Of Eugene Ferrio lives in a house belonging to Wm Ostrander, situated almost three miles from this village on the McHenry Valley road, was burned to the ground together with the entire contents, and two of Mr. Ferrin's children had perished in the flames. About twelve o'clock Saturday night Mrs. Ferrin arose and put a chunk of wood in the stove to keep the fire until morning. She then retired again and her attention was soon attracted by a reflection of light which proved to be a fire which had started around the stove pipe hole down stairs. Mrs. Ferrin gave her husband the alarm and went to the stair door and called the three older children who were sleeping overhead, two boys in one room and a little girl in another. They answered and the little girl came down. The fire was at first apparently not very serious and Mr. Ferrin, endeavored to extinguish the flames with two pails of water which were handy; but this amount being insufficient and the water privileges being very inconvenient, he was obliged to abandon the effort. When it became apparent that the house would be destroyed, Mrs. Ferrin rushed out of the house with her baby and little girl. Seeing that the boys did not come down stairs in response to the call, Mr.Ferrin became alarmed for their safety and started up the stairs to rescue them but was met by a wall of seething flame which caused him to retreat. He then rushed out of the house and after procuring a ladder, climbed to the chamber window which was located near the bed in which the boys had been sleeping. We are informed that when Mr.Ferrin broke through the window he found that the children had left their bed and were in the opposite corner of the room cut off from him by the flames so that it was impossible to effect their rescue. In his efforts to save the children he was very badly burned, the hair being burned from his head and his hands and one side of his face being entirely blistered. The two boys who were cremated were aged 9 and 3 years. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrin and the other two children escaped with nothing save their night clothes and walked on third of a mile to Mr. Ostrander's in their bare feet. The night was severely cold, the thermometer standing at eight below zero, and their feet were badly frozen from the exposure. They are at present at the home of Mrs. Ferrin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry McIntosh, and it will be some time before they recover from the burns and effects of exposure. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrin have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their great calamity and bereavement, and several parties are busily engaged in collecting effects to aid them in their time of need. Surely this is a Christian duty, and we trust that all will join in bearing these heavy burdens that they may be made as light as possible for those on whom they will fall with crushing weight. The remains of the little ones were placed in a casket "together" and interred in Woodlawn Cemetery Monday afternoon. | Ferrin, Eugene Nelson (I3627)

| 6533 | The area of the Palatinate where the Anabaptist Oberholtzers lived is today known as the Kraichgau. This region was depopulated during the Thirty Years War. The Oberholtzers and other foreign families were needed in the area by landlords who sought to rebuild their manors and estates. In exchange, they were given some religious toleration. Consequently, the majority of the Anabaptists emigrated from Zurich, whose officials had resorted to execution, imprisonment, confiscation of property, and any other means of cruelty, in hopes of banishing them. The Geneallandearchiv, Karlsruhe, gives this quote from the seventeenth century: "A number of the Wiedertauffer wish to settle here, which people practice their religious exercises partly in the forest, partly in their houses, and some have their land on the church support land. Many adapt well, among them is Marx Oberholtzer, who announced that he plans to marry his brother's servant, but does not intend to have his marriage announced publicly." Marx Oberholtzer was among a group of 53 Anabaptists meeting for worship near Sinsheim on the evening of March 2, 1661. While they were singing, the meeting was abruptly ended by German authorities. Their names were taken, which included other familiar Pennsylvania names such as Groff, Hess, Landis, Meyer and Miller. They were to report for punishment on March 29th. Appearing on that date, they stated that they had come into the country from Switzerland in 1655 and had been meeting for worship secretly in the forests near Steinsfurt. The government fined them but they continued to meet. In 1662, Elector Karl Ludwig ordered that the Mennonists should no longer be forbidden to meet, but that every participant must pay a tax. Warfare, economic difficulties and religious suppression would later entice members of the Oberholtzer family to America. The Anabaptists in the Palatinate became known as Mennonists, for a group of Holland Anabaptists who took the name from an early leader, Menno Simons. | Oberholtzer, Marcus (I38974)

| 6534 | The article from which the following statement is compiled was written by Miss Caroline Whiting, of Norwood, Mass., from information that she obtained from Joel Talbot, Esq., of Stoughton, and the Misses Anna and Catherine Talbot, of Norwood, and printed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for April, 1855. "Peter Talbot was born in Lancashire, England, and while a youth, at a boarding school in Edinburgh, he, with two other of his fellow students, were seized one day, while out in a boat, by a press-gang and taken on board a man of war, bound for the American coast. When near Rhode Island, he escaped from the vessel in the night, and by swimming reached the main land in safety, leaving on board his more timid companions, who had tried to dissuade him from so rash an undertaking. From his place of landing, he travelled northerly, and after a journey of some days, arrived in Dorchester, where he considered himself safe from pursuit. Here by industry and frugality he secured the means to return home, never intending to settle in New England. He paid his passage and took his effects on board, himself staying on shore during a storm, which detained the vessel from sailing. The weather having cleared, the vessel sailed early in the morning, leaving him behind, but taking his effects, and he losing his hard earned passage money. He bore his misfortune with courage, and soon after married. Again he made preparations to return to England, this time taking a wife with him, but strange though it may seem, from the same cause as before, the vessel sailed without them, again depriving him of all his property. Hearing afterward that the vessel with all on board was lost, he concluded that it was intended that he should remain in New England, and made no further attempt to return home. Some years after his mariage he removed to Chelmsford, Mass. During his residence in Chelmsford, while he and hs eldest son were absent, the Indians came to his home, seized his wife, and carried her away with them, first killing her infant child. the Indians were pursued by the town's people, and Mrs. Talbot was soon rescued and returned to her home. Her children, Sarah and George, and probably Elizabeth, were out of doors together, when the Indians appeared and safely hid themselves in a ledge of rocks, not far away from the house. The eldest son was killed while fighting the Indians, either at this time or at a later period. After these disasters, the family returned to Dorchester and made it their future home. It is supposed that he died about 1704; his widow, surviving him, lived with her son George, in that part of Dorchester now Stoughton, probably at the original homestead. Sarah, his daughter, married, but to whom it is not known, and Elizabeth Talbot, who was probably another daughter, married Eleazer Puffer." The genealogical part of the article is found, after careful investigations, not to be absolutely correct, and has not been copied. The only events relating to Peter Talbot, contained in the family record of his son George, and thus preserved, are, that he was "born in Lancashire old England" and that he "died about 1704." This is from my father's copy; but happily there are other sources of information, from which we are able to follow him during a great part of his life, after he settled in Dorchester. How early he arrived in this town is not known, but the first date we have is 1675, when he is found on the Dorchester tax list. He was in the military service before October 14, 1677, for on that date his military account is made up by the province treasurer, showing the amount due him to be 18 pounds, 16 shillings, 08. In 1679 he removed to Milton, where he remained until 1684, if not later, he being taxed there in a rate made in January of that year. December 14, 1686, he was one of fifty persons who bought a large tract of land in that part of Chelmsford which has since become the city of Lowell. Two years later he sold his undivided interest in this land, but retained a home lot that had been set off to him. He remained in Chelmsford until after March 16, 1691-92, for at that date he was on the rolls of the west regiment of Middlesex; but soon after, returned to Milton, where he was taxed in 1693 and 1694. The latest date that has been found relating to him, is May 4, 1704, when with his wife Hannah, calling themselves of Boston, they sold six acres of land in Chelmsford. His son George was a witness to the deed. It is probably a hundred years since Richard Talbot made this entry in his family record, relating to his great-grandfather, "died about 1704," and it was his belief, that about that time he undertook to make a visit to England, and not being heard from afterward, was supposed to have been lost at sea, or to have died soon after his arrival there. At any rate no positive evidence has been found as to his decease. The sale of land in Chelmsford in the early part of 1704, a circumstance of which those who fix the time of his death would not be likely to have had any knowledge, adds to the probability that the date of his voyage to England, if he made one, is correct. Peter Talbot was married to his first wife, Mary WADEL, by Gov. Dudley, in Dorchester, January 12, 1677-8. With much time and research Mary Wadel has been completely identified, but the date of her birth, the names of her parents, and their residence has not been found. Mary GOOLE married, in Chelmsford, December 25, 1666, John WADEL, whose alias was WATTEL. He died before June 6, 1676, that being the date when the inventory of his estate was taken. In this inventory the appraisers returned "one bed and furniture to it, and one cow," prized at Dorchester, and valued at five pounds. His whole estate was valued at 38 pounds, 9 shillings, 6. It seems to be clear that at this date, his widow, for some reason, was living in Dorchester. He left three children who lived to grow up and marry. Their names were William, Mary, and Rose, and they, in 1710, made sale of their father's real estate in Chelmsford. At this date, 1710, Mary was living in Woburn, Mass., Rose in Preston, Conn., and William in Lebanon, Conn., which at the same time was the home of Dorothy Talbot, wife of James Cutting, daughter of Peter and Mary (Wadel) Talbot. Mr. Cutting in his will, made in 1746, appoints William Wattel, his friend, one of his executors. These facts, I think, are conclusive, that the first wife of Peter Talbot was the widow of John Wadel, and they also make doubtful the story that they made arrangements to return to England soon after their marriage, as the number of their family would seem to be a hindrance to such a procedure. Mrs. Talbot died in Chelmsford, August 29, 1687, and on the same day John Fisk and Susanna, widow of George Byam, also died. Three deaths in one day, out of population so small as was that of Chelmsford when these deaths took place, must have been exceptionable; but it is not found that they were from other than natural causes, and the Indian raid and massacre as stated in the "tradition," has not been found to be related to these deaths. Peter Talbot married, December 29, 1687, for his second wife, Hannah Clarke, of Concord, widow of William Frizzell, to whom she was married November 28, 1667, and whose death occurred in Concord, January 25, 1684-5. Elizabeth Frizzell, their daughter, undoubtedly lived with her mother, as she was admitted to the Milton Church, August 11, 1700. No attempt has been made to follow the history of the other children of Frizzell. The ages of both these wives, judging by the dates of their first marriages, would indicate that the second husband, Peter Talbot, had been some time in this country before his marriage, or that he was older, when he arrived, than the "Tradition," would make him. The date of his death has been previously considered, but nothing has been found to fix that of his second wife. - the above is from p. 7-9, "Talbot Genealogy" by Hon. Newton Talbot (Boston, 1895).1 | Talbott, George Jr. (I510)

| 6536 | The baptism record for Gershom was found in the Register at the village of Eccles, near Banham, Norfolk, England. The record reads as follows: "Gersham Wheelocke filius Radolphi Wheelocke baptisatus fuit 3 die Jan:1632/33". (Source: "Mr. Wheelock's Cure", by Christopher Gleason Clark, published in the July 1998 issue of New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol 152.) William S. Tilden, "History of Medfield, Massachusetts, 1650-1886", 1886, writes the following about Gershom: "Gershom was in the list for Mr. Wilson's rate in 1657 [1], and probably came of age about that time. He married Hannah Stodder, daughter of John of Hingham, in 1658. In 1663, he had liberty from the town to cut "200 sedar plank" in the common swamp. His house stood on the Harbor Island road, a short distance south-west of the present residence of Charles Hamant. He rung the bell and swept the meeting-house in 1674, for which the town paid him 2 pounds, 15 shillings. The next year, he assisted in thatching the meeting-house. His house was burned by the Indians in 1676, and it appears to have been rebuilt on the same spot [2]. He died in 1684, and in 1690 his heirs sold the homestead to Joseph Plimpton."

| 6537 | The best record of the life of Samuel Rider is from an untitled manuscript found in the Barnstable MA Public Library, and attributed to Phyllis Ryder Endicott. A slightly abbreviated version of her paper is given here. A more rigorous treatment of the family can be found in The American Genealogist, 36:193-98, 43:117-23, 80:128-39 (see Vol 80 (2005), p.130). "Marriage records at Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England, show that on 1 Nov. 1600, John Rider was married to Helen Smyth. john was probably the son of William Rider and Alice England, who were married there 7 Oct. 1577. The family goes back at least to 1433." "The Samuel Rider who appears in the early records of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, was the son of this John Rider. he was baptized at Newport Pagnell 19 June 1601 and he married Anne Gamlett 16 Oct. 1628 in Allhallowes Parish, Northampton, England. Samuel's children, those born in England and those born in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, were named in his will, dated 20 Nov. 1679 in Yarmouth. That the English-born Samuel and the Yarmouth Samuel were one and the same is proved further in the next paragraphs. "The will of a John Smith, yeoman, dated 7 Oct. 1637, in Kingsthorpe, England, contained a bequest to "Samuel Rider, my godson" of "the house I lived in with yard, outhouses, etc., belonging the leas of grass that adjoins unto them." Twenty-six years later, in 1663, a conveyance of this same property was made by "Samuel Rider of Plymouth in New England, yeoman, son of Samuel Rider heretofore of the Town of Northampton, Moulster, to William Butlyn of Kingsthorpe, miller...of the messuage in Kingsthorpe now occupied by Elenor Hancorne, widow, and a leas of ground shooting against a close belonging to the messuage which said premises were given to the said Samuel Rider by the last will of John Smith." "Since Samuel appeared in the records of Yarmouth in 1638, the year following the original bequest, it seems likely that he mortgaged the property to obtain money to emigrate. "There is a deed in the Northampton Public Library that states that Samuel Rider, Jr, "reputed sonne of Samuel Rider, Sr, sometimes lived in the town of Northampton in the County of Northampton in the Parish of Allhallowes in Old England, and the said Samuel Rider Junir hath lived with the said father in the township of Yarmouth in the jurisdiction of Plymouth in the new England in America and in the Towne of Plymouth in the aforesaid jurisdiction, dated 3 Dec. 1662. "Newport Pagnell where Samuel1 was born is a small market town on the main road some twelve miles from Northampton, England. Samuel was nineteen years of age when the Pilgrams made voyage in the Mayflower, on board which ship was William Brewster, whose 5-great grandson, John Rider. In those days before newspapers, market days were important events for more than marketing purposes. News was exchanged, gossip passed on and speeches made in market places, and undoubtedly Samuel first heard of this sailing on market day in Newport Pagnell. On many other market days in the following years, he probably stood in the crowd listening to impassioned speeches and to talk of better prospects in America. When letters arrived from the Colonies, telling of independence and opportunity there, I imagine him listening intently as they were read aloud and discussed. "English life was not pleasant under Charles I. Samuel and his family were almost certainly dissenters, and their wish to emigrate was religious as well as economic, for Yarmouth and Plymouth church records show their early membership. "At some point during this early life in England, Samuel moved from Newport Pagnell to Northampton, twelve miles away. There he married Anne Gamlett 16 Oct. 1628 and started his family. Then, through the will of John Smith in 1637, the move seemed nearer. On 7 Jan. 1638/39 his name appears on a list of "those who proposed to take up their freedom at Yarmouth.” "Samuel received a grant of land in 1638 for having the first male white child born in Yarmouth. This child was Zachariah, who died in 1685 from a gunshot wound at a training." Once settled in Yarmouth, Samuel's public activities were busy and varied. In August 1643 he was amongst the "Names of all the Males that are able to beare Armes from xvj Yeares old to 60 Years wthin the sevrall Townshipps" [Shurtleff 194]. He served on a committee chosen to "appoynt a place for defense in case of sudden assault, and forthwith to cause the same to be fortyfied with all speede." On 9 Jun 1653 he was appointed lieutenant of a Military Company at Yarmouth. But this promotion was short-lived, for in 1654/55 he was charged with the offense of "showing sympathy to Quakers" and "ordered to appear before court to answer for affronting a constable" at Yarmouth while pressing men for an extended expedition, and on the 7th was bound over to the next court. He was subsequently demoted from the "office of Lt, 6 March 1654." However, on 1 Jun 1658, he was "restored to the office of Lt." In 1658 he was a member of the Council of War, and appeared at Plymouth as deputy from Yarmouth to consider with deputies from other towns the danger of war between England and Holland. In 1649, 1658, and 1659 he sserved as surveyor of highways. In 1657 he was amongst "the Names of Such of Yarmouth as tooke the Oath of Fidelytye in the year 1657." [Shurtleff 185] On 3 Jun 1657 he served as grand juryman, and again in 1660. In 1659 he was on a jury of inquest at Yarmouth. In 1663 he served as constable. In 1671 he was a collector of Minister's taxes, and in 1676 was one of three makers of a rate "toward the charge of the late war," his own tax fixed at 5 pounds 2 shillings 6 pence. He was demoted for protecting a Quaker | Rider, Lieutenant Samuel (I47583)
