That is a lot of money on my genteel poverty budget...but, I am sure it is well worth it for anyone who can afford and has a lot of use for it. Methinks maybe the best idea is to simply send an attachment to an individual.

Hi All, Jan, I know the frustration I have with scanning.. the old typewritten documents, Manuscripts etc. ; Scans to words in Greek, :) Then others don't scan at all. I have many ,manuscripts, copies of copies and etc. but have to type them in.. Reason I had bought a scanner, but it's not much use on older material. :( Anyone else have this problem?? I haven't any suggestion on how to help. I am not computer literate. Any help for Jan here?? Appreciate your asking Jan about sending an attachment. I'm sure many of us will want to share large files with one another, at times. Rootsweb won't accept attachments. so best to ask who wants a copy and send to those who request it. This also goes for exchanging of Ged Files.. Please send to only those who request to receive an attachment or a photo or etc. I have the digest set at 40K, The highest they allow. Cause I know some of our histories, and lines and etc. will be larger than just a query or reply. Thanks. Alice

Hi Barbara: Oh yes indeed, Rawsons were early in Mendon! Rev. Grindall 2 Rawson was the 3d minister of Mendon, and lived there many years. He had twelve children, and one of his descendants was Pres. William Howard Taft! Pres. Taft was also a Chapin, therefore related to Pres. Stephen Grover Cleveland, and Cleveland's wife, Francis Folger was also a descendant of Edward 1 Rawson, thus a cousin to Pres. Taft. Rev. Grindall Rawson's wife, Susannah Wilson was his second cousin. His grandmother, Margaret (Wilson) Rawson was the sister of the Rev. Dr. John Wilson, 1st Minister of Boston, who was Susannah Wilson's grandfather. The other grandmother of Rev. Grindall, Rachel (Greene) Perne, was the sister of Dr. John Greene of the famed "Greene's of RI", the ancestor of the Rev. War Gen. Nathanael Greene. When my great grandparents married they were eighth cousins. Waldo 8 Rawson and Abigail Lois Lovell. She the descendant of Dr. John Greene. I also descend from Job Tyler through my father. The only CT ancestor my mother has is Rev. Thomas Hooker, a grandfather of Susannah (Wilson) Rawson. The Wilson, Hooker, Greene and Rawson families are all linked together! My Taft link goes through my 2ggmother, Mary Jane (Jepherson) Rawson. Alison I descend from Wilson 3 Rawson, the eldest of Grindall's children. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Petty" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 12:05 PM Subject: [MA-MENDON] TYLER! > Alice and Alison, I was reading the Jobe Tyler story with great interest and enjoyment when the name Joan Tyler (widow) popped up. > > It sent me scurrying to my database to confirm that Joan the widow "Tiler" had married my ancestor Nathaniel Dickens of RI as his first wife (no known children).

Alice, I'd be more than happy to share the Whites- just trying to figure out how to do it for you. All of the documentation is in the footnotes and, if I copied and pasted, the darn things don't come through. Another thought- if anyone is interested, I could probably send them an attachment to download? If someone has a better idea, maybe they would let me know. Jan

Hi, Recently finished an article on the Ross families of Ipswich who had Mendon/Upton/Sutton connections. Abigail Ross, daughter of Fennel (1) and Hannah (Bull) Ross, married John Haseltine at Bradford, MA on 21 August 1701. Of their children: John Haseltine, born at Bradford in 1702, died at Upton between 19 October 1777 and 21 November 1777 (Worcester County Probate #28815), married Jane WOOD who was born at Rowley on 2 March 1707/9, daughter of Ebenezer (3) (Thomas2, Edward1) and Rachel (Nichols) Wood (her identity confirmed in will of Ebenezer, Worcester County Probate, 1:224, 275.). Abner Haseltine, born at Bradford on 19 June 1705, died at Mendon in 1731. He married at Mendon on 11 February 1730-/1 Elizabeth RAWSON. She was born at Mendon on 12 April 1710, daughter of Grindell and Susannah (Wilson) Rawson. She married second at Mendon on 8 March 1737/8, as his second wife, James WOOD who was born at Rowley on 28 April 1696, son of Ebenezer and Rachel (Nicols) Wood and brother to Jane who married John Haseltine. Daniel Haseltine, born at Rowley on 5 August 1708, married at Mendon on 13 October 1732 Mercy TYLER who was born at Mendon on 26 March 1704, daughter of John and Hannah Tyler. Jan

Alice and Alison, I was reading the Jobe Tyler story with great interest and enjoyment when the name Joan Tyler (widow) popped up. It sent me scurrying to my database to confirm that Joan the widow "Tiler" had married my ancestor Nathaniel Dickens of RI as his first wife (no known children). What a small world! Jobe may have had some good connections, though poor. Nathaniel Dickens was thought by Moriarty in NEHGR Vol. 86:174 to have been an old dear friend of Massachusetts Secretary Edward Rawson. Dickens was town treasurer of Newport 1659. But Dickens was also not a wealthy man. I'm not up on the Rawsons so don't know if they were a Mendon family (probably?) but I know they intermarried with the Tafts of Mendon. Dickens is thought to have been born in Chesham, Bucks Eng about 1614/15 and Rawson hailed from Colbrooke a hamlet near Chesham. That would put him more as a contemporary of Jobe's agewise however and I don't know where that puts the widow agewise but she must not have been Jobe's mother? But perhaps his sister? Anyway, she wasn't my ancestress apparently. Moriarty gives Nathaniel Dickens an unknown second wife who mothered his oldest children including my Mary Dickens (b. c1666) who married Thomas Rathbun/Rathbone of Block Island. Dickens' third and last wife was Sarah ___ who married, as Dickens' widow, Thomas Brown of New Shoreham RI. Nathaniel Dickens wrote his will 18 Oct 1690 which wasn't probated until 1722, but Sarah, as his widow, made a land purchase 3 Oct 1692 in Newport from Thomas Partridge of Flushing LI. Small world!

Hi Alice: Job Tyler is also mine, but I don't descend from the Mendon bunch, as I come down through John and Moses who went to Brookfield. Yes I have the 3 volume set of Tyler - buried in a box. Alison

Continued: The deposition although sworn in 1659, was brought forward in 1665. Claiming Job abt. age 40. wife Mary and son Moses between 17 & 18 yrs. and a Mary abt. 15 yrs. They witness.. they saw a thing like a bird to come in at the door of their house, with John Godfrey, in the night. It was about the bigness of a Blackbird, or rather bigger, to wit, as a big Pigeon and did fly about. John Godfrey labouring to catch it and the bird vanished as they said through a chinck of joined board... This as they remember was 5 or 6 years ago. The Annals of Andover state.. "this charge was too ridiculous a character to be seriously considered and was discharged." Other legal problems, arose with Thomas Chandler of Andover to whom Job had apprenticed his son Hopstill and which bargain, Job wished to dissolve. Job stole the written signed document, thus giving rise too much criticism, and for 10 years this case was carried from court to court. Finally Job lost the suit and the decision was that Job was "POOR" and should not be fined the 6 pounds, but a penalty was imposed. Job had to nail up and fasten upon posts in Andover & Roxbury Meeting Houses for 14 days a confession and acknowledgement as follows. " In brief Job, admitted to have shamefully reproached Thomas Chandler, by saying he was a base, lying Cozening, cheating knave, that hath got his estate by cozening in a base (cowardly) reviling (abusing) manner & that he was recorded for a liar & that he was cheating, lying whoreing knave fit for all manner of bawdery wishing that the devil had him. Job admitted he had been most wicked in this slander and said he was sorry, and that no person should think the worst of Chandler for the his sinful expressions. Shortly before this in 1662 Job sold 3 parcels of land, his house and etc. in Andover and removed to Rowley, possibly with a horse he had bargained 12 acres for, leaving it seems like he never was going to return to Andover. Little did he know years later a Memorial would be placed in that town, by his descendants. Again we find Job in trouble, this time with the Indians, near Marlborough, they complain the said Jobe Tyler of Roxbury was cutting and carrying hay from their meadows. He was fined with cost, 10 shillings. His wife Mary was dismissed from the Roxbury Church to Mendon, on the 28th day of May 1665. This was probably about the time they came to Mendon. Although none of the Mendon Records show Jobe in this area till 1669. In June 1671 he was among those who drew lots in Mendon "for doubling of their houselots". In 1675, and the outbreak of King Philip's War , Job along with the other families, must have buried his pewter, plates and brass kettles in the swamps , loaded the wagons with precious feather beds and children and fled. (Tyler Gen.,) Job probably returned to Roxbury, as a birth of a grandson is recorded there in 1676. In 1680 , he is again living in Rowley Village, but was back in Mendon prior to 1688, as he was paying Minister rates. Job was now probably about 69 years old. His son Hopstill also was in Mendon , in 1669, and probably remained here, only leaving the 5/6 years of the War. 1700- The last entry for Job is a deed to his son Moses, for 60 lbs. for land in Mendon. This lot was 15 acres in Ye Township with 5 acres of it, the doubling lot in the 2nd division, 20 acres or more bounded north by Ebenezer Read, South by Samuel Tyler, easterly upon the brook known as Muddy Brook, & west upon the house lot of John Moore, now deceased, and in the possession of Samuel Moore. This land was later granted to John Farnum of Andover. (Hopstill's son-in-law ) who afterwards settled in Mendon, by Moses Tyler for 61 pounds, in 1701. The Tyler Genealogy sums Jobe Tyler up as "hardly ever has any other immigrant American had such a word picture as this. " Superstitious, willful, hot-tempered, independent and self reliant. However he did not have saints to live with; were all the truths known, it would be seen , he was on par with a large proportion of his neighbors. The puritan iron rule, which made no allowance for any man , met a sturdy opposition in this possible descendant of Wat Tyler of England, and it is too late to determine if he was always justified. >From this story there gazes not an ideal but a very real personage, an out & out Yankee Type. He is the progenitor of thousands of descendants, that came down through the years, that were honored, useful in both private & public life, served their country in war & peace, dwellers of city & rural areas, and as you read about his descendants you can't help but believe the old man came from good stock: He had 8 children: The eldest child was born in Roxbury or Andover as probably was the 3rd, 5th, and 6th in Roxbury.. others birth places are uncertain. 1. Moses b. 1641-42 ; d. 2 Oct. 1727 2. Mary Tyler, b. about 1644 3. Hopestill, b. 1645-1646 4 Child- who died- Jan. 28, 1646 ( which says a twin child) 5. Hannah, b. 6. John, b. ca. 1650, Andover died 28 Sept. 1652 7. John , b. 16 Apr. 1653, d. 1742,90 yrs. ? (settled Mendon, from him come the better known Tyler line in Mendon and area) 8. Samuel , b. May 24, 1655. MOSES: settled in Boxford, which was Rowley Village. (for history on see The Tyler Gen. R.I.His. Lib.) He had 11 Children: 2. MARY: married/1; Richard Post, of Woburn, Ma. who settled Mendon in 1674, and is believed to be one of the Mendon settlers killed July 14, 1675 by the Indians.

Hi All, I will send this in two parts as it rather long: This is not my ancestor, but Jobe was a 1st settler of Mendon. I know Joan M. this is your ancestor. Is Jobe anyone else's?? Joan do you have the Tyler Genealogy, for any future lookups?? =============== I followed his descendants up to John Tyler.. who became a Deacon in Mendon and was killed while chopping down trees Mendon. ========= JOBE TYLER: COMPILED BY ALICE PICKERING PALLADINI: 1994 For the Mendon Historical Society: WHO WAS THIS JOBE TYLER: WE READ ABOUT IN OUR ANNALS? Source: 1] The Tyler Genealogy: by Willard Tyler Brigham: 2] The Annals of Mendon: By John G. Metcalf 3] Unpublished Manuscript of Former member, Gordon Norton: 4] 200th anniversary of Mendon Ma. excerpts of Address by Rev. Carlton A. Staples: 5] Photo's by Alice Pickering Palladini & Mendon Historical Museum Files. One of Mendon's early settlers JOBE TYLER is found in many places in Ma. & R.I.; Rowley. Andover, Roxbury, Dedham, Newport, Providence & Mendon. As you look at the photograph of this monument, we've all heard about or seen in the woods behind the old Trask property.. and the photo of the grave stones in the Old Cemetery.. for John Tyler and his father Deacon John Tyler. We wonder! Who were these John Tyler's?? Were they descendants of one of the first settlers of Mendon, JOBE TYLER we read about in the Annals? Was the early settler JOBE TYLER their ancestor? After searching several files and sources, I found there was very little written material here in Mendon about this Tyler Family , except what we read in the Annals. The first we hear of Jobe in the Annals of Mendon, is July 14, 1669. At this time according to other records he was about 50 years old. A deposition was made in 1659 and his age is stated as "about 40 yrs." Reading Pg. 43 of the Annals, would certainly raise anyones interest to learn more about this Job Tyler. [Shortened] On July 14th 1669 the Selectman met and ordered to send the Constable to summon before them JOB TYLER the next Friday at 1 P M , at Gregory Cook's house, to answer his contempt of orders, and also "WHY HE REFUSES TO WORK ABOUT THE CELLAR of the Minister's house". When the Constable returned, Job's answer to the Selectman was "he could not or would not come, but if the Selectman had more to say to him, than he had to say to them, they might come to him!" The Townsmen , upon receiving this answer made a complaint to the Magistrates of Job Tyler's contempt of the Selectman's orders and of his MISCARRIAGES OF THE LORD'S DAY & AT PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES, which he does not submit, which he did not. (seems Job Tyler did not attend church nor Town Meetings) On Dec. 1st 1669, Job's shortcomings were condoned as he is on the list, helping to confirm (in his humble way) Rev. Joseph Emerson, the first settled Minister of Mendon. Then later comes an entry in our Annals, "whereas there has been complaint against Job Tyler heretofore recorded, he has given satisfaction for that offense." ........................... It was said, by Rev. Carlton Staples. "In the book of Job, that on a certain day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, SATAN came with them". "and so it was here, (in Mendon) so it is everywhere." How JOBE TYLER got here, in a territory where "only honest men and of good report" were permitted to settle is hard to understand. (records already showed he had stole hay from the Indians) Probably he came as Satan usually does "in the guise of an Angel of Light". JOBE TYLER was considered by many here in Mendon to be "Satan's especial representative. (Rev. Staple's Address) "STUBBORN , IRREVERENT , JOB TYLER!!! Good blood in thee never - the- less! FOR JOHN, DEACON of the CHURCH was THY SON: -and a long line of useful, brave men came of thee" (Rev. C. Staples. Add.) We must reminese here on a little history of our first settlers. Eight years after the settlement was made only 12 men , including the Minister were free men, when the number of household equaled 40. To be entitled to be a freeman , a man must be a member of the church, & hold a certain amount of real estate. Not all were so privileged! The rights and privileges of most households was excluded on grounds of heresy in doctrine, & poverty of purse & estate. However the few dignified and important freeman because they were a little richer, and probably smarter than the masses were a source of great discontent, bitterness and strife amongst the other community inhabitants. So this importance of the privileged few, helped raise a class of bold, defiant, reckless men, who had no particular interest in the affairs of church, state, or little or nothing to do with the government of the Community. These pioneers considered Church , ministers and it's members as linked together to keep them down. At the same time the Church drew a class of men whom religion was only a stepping stone to privilege, and place , and these men were continually bringing it into contempt among honest men. Rev.C. Staples. Address) " Was it not these 12 privilege men who in "1672" petitioned the General Court " to take this poor place" under their immediate care and heal it if possible of the dissentions of it's people."????? Which brings us back to our subject JOBE TYLER: Question have arose through the years whether there was one Jobe Tyler or two. ( Could one JOBE TYLER be in so many places causing strife everywhere he went???? Research shows there was only one Jobe Tyler. He had a wife Mary... it is said she was the "widow Horton," but no proof has been found. No record of his death or her death has been found although all records point to the fact that he died and was buried in Mendon, Ma. A Memorial Plaque was dedicated in his honor at the 6th Annual Reunion , by his thousands of descendants. The Memorial was erected Sept. 4, 1901, in Andover, Ma., besides the grave of his eldest son Moses . Upon a boulder, securely riveted, bears the following legend. In Memoriam Job Tyler Immigrant First settler Andover about 1639 Born 1619 : died 1700 ( This is called legend because no records of dates can be found on this couple.) Jobe's Church-goings were not only question in Mendon, we find another record in 1680 in Rowley Village Ma. Jobe, & Moses Tyler and many other GOOD-KICKERS against taxes, were duly inspected "to see if fi they go to Church". (Annals of Andover) Jobe was probably in Andover, again in 1681 and then it is found HE was PAYING Minister's rates in Mendon 1688, 1689, 1691, & 1695. It has been said, "" He was a rude, self-asserting striking personality." There are but a few highlights in the picture, presented in this report , the shadows are all there. "He did not learn prudence very fast, but he was himself... he had a good deal of individuality and gave utterance to it at times with more vigor than grace." (Tyler Gen.) He did not shape his words to suit sensitive ears. He resented dictation and found it hard to restrain himself from what he wanted to do in any prudent way." The very first record of JOBE is in 1638 in the R.I. Colony. He was admitted to the town of Newport . A widow Joan Tyler in the R.I. at the same time , has been thought to possibly be Jobe's mother or a widow of a brother John. This John was the progenitor of the R.I. line of Tylers. In 1639 , we find Job , in Andover, Ma., a soldiery Squatter. (believed to be about 20 yrs. old) A few years later , he was in Roxbury, but he soon returned to Andover: In 1650: In Andover, Job put up his house, land & 3 cows, and other merchantables, such as wheat, rye, etc. for a debt due, to John Godfrey. In 1662 in Andover Job Tyler turns his house, in which he lives, barn, land containing 25 acres, 9 acre meadow, for 3 separate bonds he owed said John Godfrey, and if paid the sale would be void. Job had many legal problems in Andover, also: 1658, a charge against John Godfrey of witch-craft, and the accuser was MARY wife of Jobe Tyler. John Godfrey was said by historians to be a " Hard-bitted money lender " and hints that they may have had some cause for the bitterness shown by the Tyler family against him. Part 2- next:

Morning all Mendonites, Alison happy to see you are feeling better. Do you have a history on G. Rawson that you could share with us?? Would be nice to have all this Founder's and early settlers history in our Archives. :) Unlike other places, Rootsweb archive are easy to get to. Janet could you share your Joseph White history with us?? I , myself , have a computer copy of your book that you sent me, awhile back, concerning the Mendon branch. Could you share with our list a little history on this line. Thanks Also any other list member that has a ancestral Mendon history to share with us. Be good reading for all. I will share another History later today.. Thanks all, again for taking a chance with the Mendon list. Hope you all make many finds, and find many Cuz's and friends, Have a nice day Alice

Hi All: Here's what I have for lines, though I've not worked on them in eons since I have other more interesting fish to fry! Aldrich, Plumley, Rawson, Taft, Thayer, and others. My primary interest in RAWSON. I also have Chapin ancestry, but not from the Mendon area. Mine stayed in the Springfield, MA area which is where I was born. As Alice says, yes we will wander over the state line to RI, and even on into Windham Co., CT., as at one time, Woodstock, CT was part of Worcester Co., MA. Some of the data for that area can be found in the Worcester Co., Court Records and I might add as Alice says "Good Poop". While I am don't have Wheelock or Seagraves ancestry, I do have some data on them, because they did marry into the RAWSON family. Actually very few families didn't end up being RAWSON in this area. Alison Franks Archivist, Rawson Family Association

Hi Barbara: I have the two volume set of Chapin Genealogy by Gilbert Warren Chapin and the Rowland Thomas was from England. The children of he and Sarah Chapin appeared to stay in western MA. Your look at Ford-Thomas - Some early Ford's were in Plymouth Co., MA, so this may be a clue for you. Regards, Alison Franks Archivist, Rawson Family Association

I am descendant of this couple myself on my mother's side. Not on my Aldrich line (Dad's side). Father of Mary Parkhurst was George Parkhurst and Phebe Leet and please don't ask me about Leet line.

Hi Jim, Yes, you are correct- all of which goes to show I should have looked at my records and not off the top of my head! The wife of Joseph (3) White was Lydia Copeland, daughter of Lawrence and Lydia (Townsend) Copeland. The source used for identifying Lydia Copeland as the wife of Joseph White was the will of Lawrence Copeland (Suffolk Probate #2550) in which he left a bequest to his daughter, "Lidia White." I also made an error in identifying the wife of Richard Ford as Jemima Callum...she was his mother and wife of William Ford. On the Copelands- all of my reference books and files are boxed temporarily while my upstairs is being redone. As a result, I can't pull my Copeland file for the will of Lawrence- but, if you remind me in a week or two, things should be back to normal here. I think I neglected to mention that I also have a GASKILL line as well as a THAYER line. And, if anyone is interested in Mayflower connections, I have BREWSTER, COOKE, HOWLAND, TILLY, WARREN, SAMPSON. I also have information on the HASELTINE/HAZELTINE and WOOD families who were at Upton and Sutton if anyone needs it Jan
