Mike, I am curious to know if there is a coat of arms associated with the Disbrow name. My father Durrell Disbrow was born in heights town nj his mother was Emma Louise Fenemore and father Willard E. Disbrow. My grandfather's father was also a resident of heights town and had the nick name of whoppie where he was a champion head butter. Aside from this undocumented information I have no additional facts regarding my family tree. My grandfather's sister married a knam and thy live in cranbury, new jersey. Sadly I have no contact with that side of my family. My father lives in Decherd Tennesse, my mother lives in Redbank Tenn. They are divorced some 30 years my mothers maiden name is cavender. I believe mother was born in Kentucky. Now you know as much about my lineage as do I. I had no idea that there were so many of us out there. jim -----Original Message----- From: disbrow-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:disbrow-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dr.Hazel Barker Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 11:49 AM To: disbrow@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DISBROW] A few Disbrow books still available Hello, I am from the British branch of the family.

The source of the idea that the wife was a Stanton probably was a writer named David Russell Jack who married a descendant of the younger Noah. He wrote �Biographical Data Relating to New Brunswick Families,� from which the following excerpt comes. It has also been filmed by the LDS church & you can see it on their microfilm #1276610. Later on, whoever compliled the entry about the younger Noah for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography copied the info from Dr. Jack. You must note, however, that Dr. Jack seemingly was recounting family oral tradition & offered no sources or proofs. And there is a big discrepancy in what he said about the ocean voyage during which the senior Noah disappeared. Dr. Jack said the ship was sailing from Engand to Boston. However, the senior Noah's father, Joseph Disbrow of Fairfield, CT, said in his will that the son disappeared on a journey from New York to "here," (the "here" probably being CT since that is where Joseph lived & died). Since the father's will was written at a time much closer to the actual event, and by Noah senior's own father, I tend to put more stock in that than I do in the compilation by David Russell Jack. However, none of it has been really tightly proven. We are just making educated guesses here. The marriage you are quoting 2 generations later occurred in 1829, way too late to be related to the marriage of Noah senior & his wife. It could still represent the marriage of cousins, I guess. Plus the marriage of the senior Noah occurred somewhere in the colonial US, and that 1829 marriage occurred in New Brunswick. There is one other tidbit of evidence that shows up in a land transaction in New Brunswick dated October, 1798. In it Noah (the younger one) sold some land that had originally been granted to "widow Phoebe Disbrow." Since the young Noah did not have a wife, nor a sister, named Phoebe, that we know of, we think this widow Phoebe was probably his mother. However, that only pins down the lady's given name, not her surname. I found the Maria Scribner theory in the LDS's IGI database, but there was no source of info given. I seem to remember trying to contact the person who submitted that record but never got any response. There also used to be a David Disbrow in Livermore, California, who believed that the wife was Maria Scribner but his email addy seems to be outdated. You would think that if Noah senior's father, Joseph, disapproved of Noah's marriage to his wife, then the wife's family probably lived somewhere near enough to the Disbrow family in order for the Disbrow family to know them & to know that they didn't like her. That suggests a CT marriage ought to be able to be found for Noah & his mysterious wife. Now, I don't have full access to all kinds of CT marriage records, but I have not been able to find it in anything I have searched so far. Also, you would think that a birth record ought to be "findable" for the younger Noah, who was probably born after his father died at sea, and for sister Hannah, but, again, I have not found anything yet. Of course that assumes that families always do logical, predictable things and oftentimes they surprise us. But it may be suggestive of the idea that Noah senior had moved out of CT before or soon after he got married. You would also think that a mysterious death or disappearance on a ship might prompt a report in the newspaper of the city where the harbor was, so it could be worth surfing old newspapers from Boston, and/or some harbor cities in CT, which I have not yet had a chance to do. Here is what Dr. David Russell Jack wrote about the Noah Disbrow family: "Noah Disbrow came to St. John with the Stantons, his mother's people, with his mother, a widow, her maiden name having been Stanton. Disbrow was then a young lad of about fourteen years of age. Mrs. Disbrow did not marry again, remaining a widow until the time of her death. Mrs. Disbrow came with the Stanton family, having been cast off by the Disbrows, who were annoyed at the marriage of Disbrow, father of young Noah, with a Stanton. Whether the objection was one of political, personal or social origin, is not known at this date. The father of Noah Disbrow had made a voyage to England, and upon the return passage, just as the vessel was entering Boston Harbour, he disappeared, whether he committed suicide, or been murdered or whether his death was accidental, was never known. The grand-father of young Disbrow, always liked to see his grandson, but would never have any associations with the Stanton family. He, however, left some property to Disbrow at the time of his death. He resided at Norwalk, Connecticut, and this branch of the family were not Loyalists. They lived in good style, kept a pair of horses, lived in a good house, kept a number of servants, and were apparently people in affluent circumstances. The above is family tradition, as handed down by Mr. [sic] W. Brydone Jack to her daughter, wife of Lewis D. Millidge. Mrs. Jack died Nov. 1910, and was the daughter of a Loyalist. Noah Disbrow married Isabella Chillis, daughter of Robert Chillis, as his first wife, and Amelia Canby as his second wife. For particulars of their families, with dates, etc., see my manuscript genealogies of Loyalists and others. ....Noah Disbrow was the owner of the first brick house in St. John, which stood on the corner of Germain and Church streets. The bricks for this building were all brought in a sailing vessel from England. See my History of St. John, p. 74. From 1818 to 1823 the leading packet which sailed between St. John and New York was a one-masted sloop called the Wellington, owned by Noah Disbrow. Her cabin accommodations were not spacious, rather too much for one and not enough for two, but such as they were, travelers were compelled to put up with them. See same work, p. 111. In March 1832, the St. John Water Company was incorporated, Noah Disbrow, with Hon. Wm. Black, Hugh Johnston, Robert Parker, Charles Simonds and others as projectors. The Capital was 20,000 pounds. The plans were carried to completion about 1837, and the water was brought from Lily Lake. The water was first brought through the pipes to the City in October, 1838. For a full account, see History of St. John, pp. 114-115. Dr. Jack was twice married and by his wife, Maria Ellen, youngest daughter of Attorney-General Peters, had eight children, two of whom are living. In 1859, he married Caroline, daughter of Noah Disbrowe, a Justice of Peace and former merchant of St. John. Mrs. Jack, who is still living, comes of distinguished stock, the DIsbrowes having been early settlers of Norwalk, Conn., and people of considerable means. In former days they were slaveholders. In 1783 they removed with the colony of Loyalists to New Brunswick, and here became identified with the best interests of the province. Noah Disbrowe was a magistrate at the time of his death. Although not a member of any religious organization, he was a good Christian. He reared three sons, two of whom were ordained clergymen of the Church of England. Mrs. Jack has one daughter, Mrs. Lewis D. Milledge, of St. John, and four sons. Two of the sons are residents of British Columbia, one being a physician in Vancouver and one a lawyer. A third, now deceased, was an engineer. The fourth son, also an engineer, is located in the United States.� Carol Norman cgnorm@earthlink.net > [Original Message] > From: <disbrow-request@rootsweb.com> > To: <disbrow@rootsweb.com> > Date: 10/18/2008 12:21:37 AM > Subject: DISBROW Digest, Vol 3, Issue 19 > > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hello Disbrow Enthusiasts, I am seeking the name of the wife of Noah Disbrow, son of Joseph Disbrow, of Fairfield, CT. I know that Noah was born Feb. 1740/41, and was said to have disappeared on an ocean voyage, Dec. 5, 1771. I know who his two children were, Hannah & Noah, Jr. The family story has it that his widow & the 2 children went to New Brunswick, Canada, with the British Loyalists at the end of the American Revolution. That much is pretty well documented. They supposedly went with the wife's family. One source says the wife was a Scribner and another source says she was a Stanton. I haven't found a record of Noah's marriage anywhere in the few CT records that I have access to. Thanks in advance. Carol Norman cgnorm@earthlink.net

Yes, according to my father and grandfather there was a Disbrow who married an Indian chief I believe of the Delaware tribe.

To those on the Disbrow Mailing list who have not heard of our "famous" ancestress Mercy Disbrow or her witchcraft trial in Fairfield, Connecticut in 1692 (the same year of the more famous Salem trials), I included a chapter devoted to her in my book, "Descendants of Thomas & Mercy (Holbridge) Disbrow", Part One.   I have forwarded a copy of that chapter to Bertha Hall in hopes it may at least point her to some of the references I used to compile the information.   Here is a list of those references:            REFERENCES FOR "MERCY DISBROW" Connecticut, Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut, Vol. II, pp. 76-7 [Joan E. Ford] Jacobus, Donald L., History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, pp. 187,  343-4, 442, 721; Vol. II, pp. 299-302. Fairfield 1930-32 (repub. Baltimore 1976 & 1991) MacKenzie, Ruth, "Connecticut Justice And Mercy", article in Connecticut Bar Journal, Vol. 39,  (Dec. 1965), pp. 558-73 [Fairfield Hist. Soc. via Bernice Disbrow] Marcus, Ronald, Elizabeth Clawson... Thou Deservest To Dye, Stamford, CT 1976 [Virginia A. Marcus via Susann Davis] Sherman, Harriet A., "Disbrow Family History", unpub. ms. 1930 [Harriet A.

G., Witchcraft Trials of Connecticut, Hartford 1978 Also photocopies of some of the original documents in the Wyllys Papers, obtained by Bernice Disbrow and furnished to me by her. Other materials: Cortesi, Lawrence, "Was Mercy Desborough In League With the Devil?", article in Connecticut, Oct. 1972, pp. 27, 46. [Susann Davis] --------------- "The Beautiful Witch of Fairfield", article in Cobblestone, Jan. 1981, pp. 16-19.    [Note: I did not use either of these articles by Cortesi for references in writing the chapter on Mercy Disbrow. Both are sensationalized accounts and contain much questionable material and some outright falsehoods. The former article is very condemning of Mercy.] There may be more material available now, but these were the sources I was aware of in 1992 when I compiled the book.   Mike Disbrow

You were called a witch. I would love to know the story behind Mercy. ************** Psssst...Have you heard the news?
