(JOHN8, MORDECAI7, MONDECAI6, SAMUEL5, EDWARD4, RICHARD3, ROBERT2, ROBERT1)1 was born Abt. 1790 in North Winsted, Connecticut USA2. He met (2) ELIZABETH GILBERT3,4,5. She was born 17806,7, and died December 27, 18677,8. He met (3) PHOEBE DIAMOND. He married (4) NANCY SCOTT9 Abt. 1805. She was born Abt. 1790 in New York USA. Notes for ALFRED LINCOLN, SR.: In a History book on the history of Westfield found in the Patterson Library it gives a description of pioneer homes before 1830. You cook spare ribs, duck, or turkey they hung by a tow string before the open fire, with an iron vessel underneath to catch the drippings from which the cook would baste the meat with a ladle or a spoon. The tow string would be whirled so that all parts might get the direct heat of the blazing fire. Plain Roast potatoes and salt was often a meal for the entire family. In the fall of the year would always be seen long rows of pumpkin cut round strips a half inch thick hung on poles fastened to beams overhead to dry. This pumpkin was all they had for pies and dessert until the apples were ready the next summer. The windows of the log house were usually made of single sash of six or nine lights of seven by nine-inch glass. The hinges and latches of the door were of wood. The door was opened from the outside ! by a string passing through a gimlet hole and fastened to the latch on the inside. A person not a member of the family, wishing to enter, would rap with his knuckles on the door; on hearing the invitation "come in" he would pull at the latchstring to enter. If the family were eating a meal for the stranger was always made welcome to a place at the table. The gun was also the chief means of supplying the family with meat, for the most part from the deer that roamed through the forest. During the winter venison hams could be seen in nearly every cabin, hung on wooden pins around the huge chimney or from the beams overhead. No better dried meat was ever served kings, and when fresh, it was as good as beef or pork. The early settlers around Lake Chautauqua also depended for food on the fish, which they caught around the lake with hooks, or in their canoes at night with pine torches and spears. Chautauqua Lake was often called the "meat barrel" of the pioneers who settled ! on or near its shores. It was not unusual for a couple of men to capt ure two hundred pounds or more of pickerel or bass in a single night. The early settlers in Chautauqua County did not live in bark-covered cabins for very long. As soon as the county became more thickly settled and sawmills could be built, log cabins took their place. And it was not long before frame buildings replaced the log homes. It took three or four hours of an afternoon to build a log house, after the logs were ready. Straight trees of the same size were selected from the forest and drawn to the place where the house was to stand. The neighbors were invited to the "raising" and all made it a religious duty to attend. The foundation was four logs the size of the building, laid upon the level ground. When this was done, four the best ax men each took a corner and cut a saddle and notch to hold the logs in place as they were rolled on skids to the right place in the building. The houses were usually made a story and a half high, the upper story being the sleeping room of the family. This was reached by a ladder or pins driven ! into the logs in the wall of the house, and occasionally by rough board stairs. When the body of the house was up, the logs were cut away for the doors and windows, and the floor lay with rough boards. The space between the logs was filled with split pieces of wood and plastered with mud. The roof was made of pine shingles. 1820 Census in the town of Chautauqua #45 Alfred Lincoln. He had two free white males under the age of 16. One free white male over 26 and under 45. One free white female under the age of 6. One free white female over 26 and under 45. One person engaged in agriculture. According to Molly Lincoln in a letter dated 12-26-1998. they moved to New York from Connecticut. Her parents took a trip to Connecticut and found the old homestead Notes for ELIZABETH GILBERT: Notes from Bruce Rova 11-17-2004. I have been bugged ever since we got Alfred's probate records. There was a quit claim Deed signed by Clark Lincoln, Charlotte, his wife, and Elizabeth jis "widow" in Batavia, Genesee, New York. They were name as heirs in the probate records. I search "Clark Lincoln" and found very little. Have found even less on Lucian Lincoln) Then I found a letter of one small sentence about property holders of the Holland purchase in NY. Alfred was listed as the owner with the additional information that he transferred the property to Elizabeth Dorman. Most people do not just transfer property they either sell or trade it. Another letter from Deb Lincoln said that family lore had it that Alfred had a "woodshed" child. Stories of the mare going off in the woods and coming back with a colt that no one expected. In 1850 NY Genesee Census has Clark, Charlottte, Elizabeth aged 66. The 1860 NY Batavia Genesee Census has C! lark, Charlotte, Elizabeth aged 77, and five children named Levant, Juliette, Elsey, Charles and Milly. In 1870 Elizabeth is gone and Clark's personal property has increased from $2600 to $4000 and real property from 0 to $4000. Before or at the same time as Nancy. Connie Rova has for some time felt that Alfred fatherd a son, Clark with the widow of Amasa Dorman. We have seen indications on-line that the Dorman line has difficulty finding a father and some feel his surname was Lincoln for awhile. After Nancy Scoot when Alfred moved to Ohio. Child of ALFRED LINCOLN, SR. is: i. JOHN10 LINCOLN11. Notes for JOHN LINCOLN: He went to Connecticut according to Debbie Lincoln. Child of ALFRED LINCOLN and ELIZABETH GILBERT is: ii. CLARK10 LINCOLN12,13, b. 181914; d. 190414; m. CHARLOTTE LINCOLN15; b. 182416; d. 190416. Notes for CLARK LINCOLN: Bruce Rova in an e-mail 11-27-2004 said that he found several pages with Clark Dorman Lincoln. Amasa Dorman lives right next door to Alfred in Batavia in 1810. According to the family web sight he died in a battle in 1814 too early to have been Clarks father. Clark started to sign the quit claim for Alfred Lincoln with the first two letters Do then changed the signiture Lincoln to reflect his heir status. That occurred in July of 1865 and he and Elizabeth and Charlotted recieved the sum of $400 from John Miller and Reuben Buck. There fore they wer not isted on the petition to sell real estate when it was filed in December 1865. I am agreeing more and more that Clark Dorman and Clark Lincoln are one in the same.
