Elizabeth Hazard

Notes:

Elizabeth was born about 1626 in Portsmouth, Rhode island, the daughter of Thomas Hazard and Martha Potter. She married about 1643, George Lawton. He was much older than her and an influential man in Portsmouth. They had ten children, all born in Portsmouth. George died in 1693 and Elizabeth married as her second husband in 1694, Henry Brightman. The date of Elizabeth's death is unknown. She probably died in Portsmouth.

Family/Spouse: George Lawton. George was born on 23 Sep 1607 in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England; died on 5 Oct 1693 in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary was the daughter of George and Elizabeth (Hazard) Lawton. She was born about 1644 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island. Tradition and family records say that John Babcock, after failing to get her father's consent to marriage, eloped with Mary in 1658. The couple went into the wilderness, one night by boat from Newport, and coasting along the shore, landed on the present site of the town of Westerly. They were welcomed by friendly Indians, and he was the first white man who settled in Westerly. Unfortunately, history doesn't seem to support this romantic tale. John actually was a member of the Misquamicut Company and went to the site of Westerly with the first permanent settlers in about 1660. At that time John was about eighteen years of age. He received an apportionment of land and the same as other settlers. He settled on the banks of the Pawcatuck River, near what is now Avondale, Rhode Island.

In 1671, when King Philip's War broke out, most of the settlers in Westerly fled to Rhode Island for safety. The Babcock family stayed. Her husband joined the Stonington, Connecticut militia. Tradition says he fought in the Great Swamp Fight on December 19, 1675 and that his son Elihu was born that day. John died in late 1684. Mary still had several young children when he died, and she married Erasmus Babitt. Mary died on Nov. 8, 1711 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island, and is buried in the James Babcock Ground in Westerly.

Notes:

Joel Stewart was born near Petersburgh, Rensselear County, New York, in February 1804. His parents were Eathel and Esther Thurber Stewart, of English descent.
It has been said that Eathel Stewart helped to build the Baptist church at Petersburgh and that his wife, Esther, was a Methodist. When Joel Stewart was eight years of age his parents came to Oswego County, settling in town of Richland.

The farm at Petersburgh was sold to pay a debt his father made having signed a note with another man. The trip to Oswego County was made by ox team following the marked trees. At that time they had to go either to Rome or Oswego to have their corn ground.

Eathol and Esther Stewart were the parents of Joel, Draper, Benjamin, Ira, Phineas, Harriet, Sarah, Hannah
and Melissa. He (Eathel) died at the age of 81 years.

At the age of twenty-seven, Joel Stewart married Betsey White from Vermont. They began housekeeping in the
Whitesboro district. After some time they gave this up to his parents and purchased a 200-acre farm on the Ridge Road then known as the Seneca Getty farm (later the James Snyder farm and now owned by Ralph Sutton), where he lived nine years. He next purchased the Deacon Meacham farm. When his health began to fail, he went to live with his daughter, Ellen, in Pulaski where he died at the age of 90 on March 3, 1894. His children were Dexter W., James Gilber, Wilbur, Sally, Harriet Jane, Milton, Ellen, Milton Delos

Notes:

The Justus Stewart, Jr. was Chester Stewart Jr. in the 1850 census of Almond with wife Adeline. Edward Stewart named in Almond records for Civil War service names his father as "Justis Stewart" This same Edward is shown in cemetery records as Charles E. Stewart(died 1864 age 19 yrs) and 1850 census as Charles E. Stewart (1855 living with the Abram Wyant family as an apprentice).

Justus and Adeline's son, Ira, is found in the 1855 census in Scio, adopted by the Furnald family. So it appears Justus and Adeline may have died before 1855. I don't find any probate record or any record of them after the 1850 census. Nor do I find any record of their other younger children; either they too died or they were adopted and names changed.

Justus married Adaline Green in 1824. Adaline (daughter of Luke Green and Nancy Murphy) was born in Jan 1810 in Alfred, Allegany County, New York; died before 1855 in West Almond, Allegany County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
