I thought I'd list the children I show for William C. AMAZEEN and wife Jane Jones AMAZEEN. I think the 16 to whom you are referring are: Sarah - b. 18 Nov 1804 William - b. 8 Mar 1806 Mary - b. 11 July 1807 John - b. 30 Mar 1809 William J. - b. 12 July 1810 Joseph Jones - b. 27 Dec 1811 Rufus - b. 10 July 1813 John - b. 1 Apr 1815 Mary - b. 18 Feb 1817 Clarissa - b. 4 Aug 1818 Thomas Oliver - b. 14 Mar 1820 Eliza Jane - b. Feb 1822 Nancy B. - b. 15 Nov 1824 Adaline - b. 17 Jan 1826 Henry Clay - b. 4 Dec 1829 Frances Lear C. - b. 3 Feb 1832 I also postulate that there may also have been another son who died as a youngster, born between 1821 and 1825, based solely on the family's entry in the US 1830 Census, as follows: [NOTE: the Census taker wrote the surname as EMERSON for all of the AMAZEEN families he met in this census] US 1830 Census, New Castle, Rockingham Co, NH [Images Online @ Ancestry.com], p211, line 25 William EMERSON [sic], male, head of household, age 40-49 [ie: b. 1781-1790] 1 female, age 40-49 [ie: b. 1781-1790] = wife Jane 1 male, age 20-29 [ie: b. 1801-1810] = son Wm J.

I did do a seach on rootsweb and they claim that Solomon White and Mary Locke are the parents of Nathan White. Is this what you have? If so, Solomon White and Mary Locke seem to have had at least two children born in New Castle, NH: Joseph White born 11 July 1746 and Nathan White born 16 Aug 1749. Any corrections are welcome.

The record of Abigail BEAL's second marriage to John AMAZEEN gives evidence that her previous marriage was to a "TARLTON".

She was killed by Indians in 1747 and buried in Nottingham Town Square. Her husband, Andrew Simpson, joined with a Robert Patten in 1725 to buy land granted to veterans of King Philip's War. Land purchased as north side of the fifth street in Nottingham from John Dabney. In 1729 they purchased 70 acres near Beaver Brook in Londonderry from John McKeen. There was also a venture between Robert and William Patten and one John Gridley in 1723. Given the transactions between her husband, Andrew Simpson and Robert Patten, I am guessing that Elizabeth (Patten) Simpson and Robert Patten are related in some way. Her first know child was born in 1720 which would place her birth around 1700. Matthew Patten refers to Robert in his diary as "cousin". Elizabeth is called "of Candia" in most records. It is also recorded that Robert Simpson arrived Boston 1725 aboard the "True Love". I have not personally been able to find a record ot the True Love sailing at that time. Robert and family attended the Brattle Street Church in Boston. Any information that might lead to Elizabeth's parents would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

> Hi Carolyn, We seem to correspond constantly! The Bell's are also in the line I'm researching. Katharine Wingate made some inaccurate remarks regarding the Bell family.

Mary Sheafe and he died 3 Dec 1773 in New CAstle. Their children were Sampson, Thomas, Meshack, Matthew, abigail and Mary. Meshack was taxed in New Catle 1770 - 1772 and 1778. He was b. 25 Aug 1748 in New CAstle and died 8 Jul 1786 age 34 (a problem here). He married Jane Watkins 19 Nov 1776. According to "Abstract of Graves of Rev. Patriots Vol I" Capt Meshach Bell is buried in the Frost Cemetery New CAstle. According to Abstract of Probate Records of Rockingham County, NH 1771 - 1799, Lt.

Apparently Thomas (#2) died before Summer 1840, because he is not on US 1840 Census of New Castle, NH when wife Grace is shown as head of household, and not shown later on the US 1860 Census of New Castle, NH with wife (probably widow) Grace and dau Abby. The date for his death which you found in the Rev.War pension summary, Carol, fits nicely with this assumption: 26 Apr 1831. There was a small error in the above statement. I found Thomas' date of death in the "Index to War of 1812 Pension Files" by Virgil White. NOT in the Rev. War pension summary. Sorry (2) Abigail A. BEAL, born 10 Apr 1827 at New Castle, NH; died 31 Aug 1891 at New Castle, NH; married [I don't have a date] to John TARLTON (1828-1863), son of Capt Elias TARLTON & Ann J. YEATON.

Thanks *SO* much for reminding me about Mehitable (SIMPSON) WHITE. You are absolutely correct, and it makes *a lot* more sense that his daughter would be handling John's probate details. I got so excited to see the "Mehitable WHITE" advertisement--that I jumped to a VERY big (and VERY hasty) conclusion! Thanks for reminding me that that are (almost!) as many WHITEs in Rockingham County as there are "Joseph AMAZEEN"s <big grin>. ~ Carolyn Depp ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol White To: Carolyn G Depp ; [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 6:06 PM Subject: Mehitable (BELL) WHITE There were two Mehitable Whites. JOhn Simpson's daughter was Mehetabel Sheafe Simpson who married Robert White 12 June 1773 per "copy of Births of Capt. Robert White" from original made by Thomas Frost 27 May 1854. Mehitabel (different spellings, different documents) is mentioned in deeds & probate records #5629, roll #9, 1791; #0231-0375 1812; #0203 - 0460 1814; and #0253 - 0234 1827. I have copies of those deeds/probate records. She is listed in them as the widow of Robert White. I'd be glad to send you a transcript of them. You said you found an ad placed by Mehitable (Bell) White. Were you only speculating that her maiden name was Bell? It doesn't say Bell in the ad. Robert White died before 16 Mar 1791. Mehitable Sheafe Simpson White died 13 Sep 1827 and is buried in the Frost Cemetery in New CAstle. John Simpson's will was entered for probate 16 Jun 1802. (per his will). Did you want sources for all those facts? I can provide them if needed. I need to go do something right now. I'll get back to this asap. thanks for all your help.

New Castle - Feb 3, 1807" I also checked and found no death notice for Mehitable in the same newspaper between that Feb 1807 announcement and the end of April 1808. If Mehitable's husband, William Cooper WHITE, married his second wife Sarah MITCHELL before the birth of son Isaac in 1808 we are cutting things *pretty* close..... What documentation do you have that Isaac was really born as early as 1808? Could Mehitable have been his mother instead of Sarah?? ~ Carolyn Depp

Would appreciate *ANY* information anyone might have on any of the (numerous) "Meshack BELL"s who lived in and around New Castle, NH in the 1700-1800's. I have accumulated a large research file with numerous references to various men and can't presently link any of them accurately into the New Castle BELL family tree. Author Katharine Wingate in American Monthly Magazine (May 1917) said that in the BELL family of New Castle, the "eldest son was always called Shadrach, the second Meshach, and the third Abednego". Unusual given names (even if repeated over and over) but tough to link them to the correct parents. No apparent connection with the Londonderry BELL families, however. Any tidbits anyone may have come across while researching other local family lines--along with some sort of source or documentation--would be MOST aprpeciated. Thanks! ~ Carolyn Depp

See below. 1) Mary and Sarah Jones were indeed sisters, the only children of William and Jane Jones. He leaves in his will (dated 15 June, 1795) 4/5 of estate to Mary Amazeen and 1/5 to Jane Jones Amazeen, dau of Sarah after his widow's decease or remarriage. Tax list for 1797 and '98 list property as "widow Jane Jones", but after this says 'estate of Wm. Jones dec'd', so she might have died or remarried (don't see her on New Castle marriage lists, though). A petition on this estate was made on behalf of the above heirs in 1806 by Joseph Amazeen "husband of only surviving child of dec'd" and by William Amazeen "husband of the only child of the other daughter dec'd", "the 2 daughters being the only children of the deceased". I wish I had something more to offer, but I don't. Carol

Hello Carolyn, William C. White m. Sarah Mitchell Randall 11 May 1807 per Early Marriages of Strafford County, NH 1630 - 1850 by Canney pub. 1991 and by the New CAstle Vital Records. The marriage took place in New Castle. I have been trying to research Mehitable Bell for ages. The only hint I can find is in some notes from my father-in-law's research that says that William C. White owned land next to Meschack and Abigail Bell in 1814. Maybe that was Mehitable's brother/father/relative. I have no idea. It's only a guess and now I can't seem to track these two elusive people either.
