Are you interested in learning about your family history? Do you now have a computer and Internet access? This interactive workshop will show you how to use your computer at home and the Internet to document and research your family. "This workshop will introduce some popular software programs and techniques for using them effectively. The class will also demonstrate several of the major on-line data sources for American genealogy available and how to use them effectively. This workshop is not meant to be a Genealogy 101 class teaching you all of the techniques that you will use as you delve deeper into this hobby, nor are we going to show techniques for researching in other countries. A workshop project will be done to use the tools and sources to actually build a family tree. Participants interested in having their tree started should bring with them names and birth information on their parents and grandparents." Originally, this had been scheduled for March, but it was re-scheduled almost at the last moment.  As it is coming sooner than expected, we need to do some extra publicity. I will be talking about some RI and New England issues as I research the Stedman family and, as RI is close to Worcester. Happy Holidays, John B. Lisle.

In one of the Remington wills, I did find a Mr. Potter listed, but no indication as to who he belonged to, or his family. The Remingtons also married into the Gorton family, the ones who helped found R.I., and set up a different faith. Is there any record of the Utters being Gortonites that you know of? Is so, that might confirm it was Utter instead. I have not found anything yet, but Hope springs eternal. regards Maggie Roberts

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XcB.2ACE/238.3 Message Board Post: Dear Madam, Regarding your search for Hannah that married a Remington in Westerly, Rhode Island, bear in mind that Otter is a frequent enough spelling error for the Rhode Island Utter family. In fact Utter is actually of Swedish origin meaning "Otter". While I dont know about the Potter family of Rhode Island I do know that the Utters are an old Westerly, Rhode Island family, their ancestor Nicholas Utter Sr. ab.t 1630-1722 having first settled there by the 1670's.He first arrived at the short lived, Swedish Colony of New Sweden in 1654 as a soldier colonist and after the Dutch took possession of it a few years later, many of the colonists were allowed to remain if they so wished. Obviously Nicholas migrated to New England sometime after that and earlier record I have seen is in the 1670's in Newport, Rhode Island. So I would not ignore the Utters of Westerly, Rhode Island in your search for Hannah's family. I am looking actually for a different Hannah who was a Palmer that marrried a John Utter of Preston, Connecticut and that has been difficult as there is no marriage record and only a land record which lists Hannah as wife of John Utter and no last name. regards Donald Clink

Speaking of Nicholas Utter: I've been trying to locate the Mescanauge Purchase mentioned in the following citation. Help? 1675 John Crandall, Jeremiah Clark, Thomas Dungan, Clement Weaver and Latham Clarke of Newport and Samuel Reap of Patuxet went up to a place known as the Mescanauge Purchase, in the Narragansett Country, and the proprietors of the land agreed to receive John Crandall and give him a half share of the purchase for his going up with them to settle Nicholas Utter upon the land. They set up a shelter for themselves and for Utter, and left Utter there. Utter improved half an acre of land by planting it. This was the testimony of Jeremiah Clark in a deposition dated 26 Mar 1723 before Wm. Sanford, Justice.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: NIcholas Utter, Thomas Utter and John Utter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XcB.2ACE/301.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Pat, I am a descendant of Mrs Stephen Clink (1780-1861) who was Christianna Utter daughter of John Utter born abt. 1750 probably in Fairfield or New London, Connecticut. Christianna's great-grandparents were John Utter and Jemima Benjamin and this Utter line descends from Thomas Utter a son of old Nicholas Utter. The record you mentioned of Gov. Andros that I also have seen was from 1687 or something like that; but that is the earliest record I have seen in Rhode Island for our ancestor. There is thus this 30 yr. gap from the time he arrived at New Sweden in the mid 1650's to 1687 for my records. I have seen some of the early 18th century land transactions which list him and his sons before he died. I also have some accounts of his early years and that of the Swedes at New Sweden; but little else on Nicholas Utter. The next few generations that are related to me seem to have been residing in Preston, New London Connecticut for a number of years in the 1700's and Christianna's grandfather seems to have located at Preston and Westerly, Rhode Island shortly after his marriage to a woman named Hannah who we believe to have been a Greenwich, Palmer apparently of the Denham Palmer Sr. family of Greenwich, Connecticut. Later Utters of our family group named their children Palmer Utter and C! hristianna's father John Utter was infact looked after in his teens by his guardian Uncle Denham Palmer according to Stamford, Connecticut records in the 1760's So that is how I fit into the Nicholas Utter family. Christianna's father and two brothers came to New York State about the time of the revolution and her father apparently lived with the two brother in Tryon County where loyalist support was strong and he briefly joined up or was recruited into a loyalist militia probably as Burgoyne and his forces made into New York State from Canada in 1777. After British General Burgoyne's defeat and capture at Saratoga, New YOrk, most of his loyalist troops had already escaped to Canada because of Burgoyne's fear they would be mistreated or killed by their captors as loyalist soldiers were regarded by the local militias and the population as traitors to their County. Many in New York State, strongly were against the war as much as they were pro British; but were compelled to either join up with their local militia on the rebel side or join with the "enemy". Neutrality seems to have been an option for only a few during the war. In fact many local loyalists because the prisons were too small and loyalists too numerous were paroled with a fine and a warning; so it would seem with my Utter ancestor. John Utter it fairly certain escaped lengthy imprisonment, did not go to Canada to receive official loyalist status or to rejoin with the other Tryon and other New York loyalist, instead he married Margaret Houghteling of an old Dutch New York family whose father Henry Hougteling lived near present day Claverack at a village called Nobletown (present day Hilsdale). John Utter probably married Margaret about 1777-1778 as his first son John Utter JR. was known to have been born abt. 1778 for certain in New York State. The next child as far as we know was my ancestor Christianna Utter born abt. 1780. John Utter Sr. and his family settled farther north up the Hudson River in Albany County, Coeymans Township by the late 1780's apparently following John's older brother Dr. David Palmer Utter who purchased land ! in Albany County beginning in the mid 1780's and subsequently purchased land also at Coeymans in the late 1780's. Dr. David Palmer Utter, although not known to have served on the loyalist side during the war, apparently expressed his unhappiness some years after the Revolutionary War with the new government in Albany, New YOrk and later considered himself to be pro British. This then appears to be the reason why he was banished from ALbany County and New York State in 1790,lost his medical practice and had his small estate confiscated. To make matters worse his first wife Lydia Eaton did not accompany him to Canada and at some point around this time divorced him and married his neighbour in Coeysman, New York. Dr. Utter first arrived at Grimsby, Upper Canada in 1790 and in 1796 petitioned the Crown for a land grant in neighbouring Saltfleet Township in compensation for his mistreatment and losses. Although the Crown did not grant him loyalist status his petition was accepted and he received a generous 243 acre land grant at Saltfleet TOwnship in 1796. By 1803 or 1804, my ancestor John Utter Sr, the Doctor's brother was invited to come up to Canada with his three sons in Coeymans, New York and farm a 50 acre portion of Dr. Utter's land grant near Lake Ontario. In 1811, John's daughter, Christianna Utter and her husband Stephen Clink 1786-1871, my great-great-great grandfather of Albany County, New YOrk came up with wife Christianna and my then infant great-great grandfather John Utter Clink (1810-1887) to settle first of all at Saltfleet with the Utter family. Several years later Stephen Clink applied for a land grant in 1819 and eventually by 1821 the Stephen Clink family established a farm in Erin Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. That greatly symplified is how my Utter connected Clink family ended up in Canada from ALbany County, New York State. Hope this tale is of some interest to you Pat and any of the Utter researchers. I have compiled as much as I can of my Connecticut/New York/Ontario John Utter family, his ancestors and particulary descendants over the last few years. But always looking for info on John Senior's family in old Connecticut and Rhode Island if it turns up. Thanks again for your suggestions. I have also seen the Waterman book; but it does not dwell much on our branch of the Connecticut Utter family I think. I am also researching the David Palmer/Denham Palmer family Greenwich, Connecticut Genealogy as I am apparently a descendant of this family through John Utter's mothers family. regards Donald Clink regards Donald Clink

It is supposed the first of the family who emigrated from Scotland was the great-grandfather of Harmon, and that he settled in the town of Hartland. His son, Andrew, married Polly Lampson, their children were Andrew, Jr., Abraham, Asa, Jacob, Lydia V., David J., and Archibald. Andrew, Jr. lived and died in Canada; Asa, in Batvia, N.Y.; Jacob in Shaftsbury, Bennington Co., VT; Lydia V. was the wife of Dr. Knight, of Grand Blanc, Genesee Co., Mich.

The children of Abraham and Abigail McWain were Lucretia T., Harm! o! n, Mary Malona, John W., and Malvina M. Harmon McWain was born in Dorset, Bennington County, VT, September 5, 1817, and passed most of his minority there. In 1844 he married Sarah S.[Sophia] Bebee, who died in 1848, leaving a daughter, Sarah A. [Adelie], born August 8, 1847, the wife of James Ailward [Aylward]. Harmon McWain married October 6, 1858, Amanda M.[Malvina], daughter of Luther and Betsey [Emeline Jenne] Coolidge. Her grandfather, Captain John Coolidge, a Revolutionary officer from Lancaster, Mass. [John Coolidge was a private in the Revolutionary War and received the title of Capt. at a later date], who at the close of the war was paid for his services in Continental script, which afterwards became worthless, thinking to better his fortune in the new country as it were then, removed his family to the wilds of Vermont. Many were the hardships endured, but at last plenty smiled upon them, and at the time of his death, March 23, 1822, left each of his three sons ! and two daughters a farm. Luther Coolidge, his second son, father of Mrs. McWain, was born on this place May 6, 1781, where his father first located, and died there June 11, 1856. Her mother, Betsey Jenne, was born in Poultney, VT., April 27, 1790. The maternal grandfather of Mrs. McWain was the Rev. Prince Jenne, the first settled minister in the town of Plymouth, having been sent from Massachusetts as a missionary to establish churches in the new settlements of Vermont, and after a long and faithful ministry died in 1836, aged seventy-eight years [Rev. Prince Jenne is buried in the Plymouth Notch Cemetery]. Mrs. McWain was born August 16, 1830, where she now lives, and has lived since her marriage with the exception of the first six years, when they resided in East Dorset, Bennington County. Of their seven children six are now living [this is wrong, they mention 8 children, and one died early]. Jennie R. McWain, born October 4, 1852, married Merritt A.
