Sheri -- Diane actually set up Indiana. She's probably the one who put the search engine on it. She would choose a password of the state/county the search engine was on, usually all in lower case -- try that and if it works, change the password. If it doesn't work, start over! When I started seriously collecting the data, my cousin told me to be sure I kept a separate file for each individual and make multiple copies -- for example, on a census page that pertained to a specific family, if there were four in the family, I was to make four copies and put a copy in the folder for each individual. If I had a deed or will or some other document, I wasn't just to put the document in one folder, but in all folders of anyone in the line. For example, if a man died and left everything to his wife, four children and six grandchildren, I was to make twelve copies: one for him, one for his wife and one for each of the kids and grandkids. That way no matter which one I pulled out, I would have all of the documents so that I wouldn't have to gather all of the folders in order to have a complete record. These binders are alphabetical, but they are also chronological. For example, the immigrant family member (or as far back as she could find) is listed first, but the last names are alphabetical. After the bios and summary data is the copies of the raw data and documents, plus she also transcribed many of them so that my eyes don't get so darned tired trying to read those ornate scripts with spelling that is atrocious by today's standards! I found a bunch of pictures of "Golgatha" and the Macy Colby Home in Amesbury included in these binders. When I get to the scanning phase, I will get them scanned and sent to you for inclusion!

Signed Oct 8, 1669 Witness: Robert Clement Jno (his X mark) Heath, Sr John Redman Thomas Mudget owned this agreement or division Dec 18, 1684. Acknowledged April 2, 1672, by Moses Pengry and John Osgood. George Brown and Daniell Ella were chosen by the Hampton court to consider of and survey a division of land that Mr Rob Clement gave to his grandchildren which they have done and consider the above division just and right as witness our hands Oct 6, 1685 (Norfolk Deeds, Vol 3, p 341) 50 Great Migration Colonists to NE & Their Origins p 123-28 Anthony Colby, son of Thomas and Anne (Jackson) Colby was baptized at Horbling, Lincolnshire, England on 8 Sept 1605. He was apparently named for his uncle Anthony Jackson. He came to America with the Winthrop Fleet, landing in Boston in June or July 1630. He apparently married about 1632, probably at Cambridge, to Susanna Waterman, a widow. They had seven children. TAG Vol 51 p 66 Anthony Colby married after coming to New England, probably between 1630-1632, the widow Susannah Waterman of Boston, MA. She married 3rd, about 1663/4, William Whitridge, a carpenter from Gloucester who died 5 Dec 1668. She died 8 July 1689 in Salisbury, MA. Various sources state her name to have been Haddon and make her either a sister or a daughter of Jared Haddon of Salisbury; others claim she was a daughter of William Sargent, and still others say she was a Nutting. None of these claims are backed by any documentary proof so her maiden name remains unknown. Bio: Anthony Colby died at Salisbury, Essex Co, MA, 11 Feb 1660/1 and was probably buried in the old graveyard called "Golgatha" on the western bank of the Pow Wow River in Amesbury, Essex Co, MA. His widow, Susanna married (3rd) about 1663/4, William Whitridge, who died 5 Dec 1668. Susanna died at Salisbury, Essex Co, MA on 8 July 1689. The fact that Anthony Colby married the widow Waterman is proven by a deed given by John Steevenson, 20 Aug 1652, to Mary widow of Peter Thornton and to Joseph Thornton, eldest son of Peter, which recites: "Whereas there is a parcel of Land lying neere the Lands of mr John New in Boston which at first was granted to [blank] Waterman who dec'ed. Anthony Colbye married his Widdow & they two sold the sd Land unto James Pennyman, and hee sold it to William ffeild and the sd ffeild sold it to Henry Vayne and Henry Vayne sold it unto Theodore Atkinson and Atkinson sold it to William Tilley and Tilley sold it to William Ludkine and the sd Ludkine sold it to Jeremiah Houchin by his writing bearing date the third day of the second month in the year of our Lord One thousand six hundred fforty and eight sold the sd parcel of land unto me"{John steevenson], etc [Deeds, Suffolk County, 11-176] Anthony Colby came to America with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. He signed the 1st Church Boston covenant at Charlestown, Suffolk Co, MA on 27 Aug 1630 as number 93. His name appears beside that of his life long friend Jared Haddon. The clerk, however, has mistakenly put his name in the records as Anthony Chaulby. He went to Cambridge, Middlesex Co, MA in 1632, and while there was admitted freeman 14 May 1634. he owned two houses and six acres of land in Cambridge (on Brattle Street), which he sold to Simon Crosby in 1639. Anthony Colby was the father of eight children. Many have placed a 4th child, who died young, into the list of the children of Anthony and Susannah Colby. This child was assumed because Anthony Colby is supposed to have reported as having four children by the time the Salisbury records egan. James Savage states that there were 4 children older than Isaac Colby. James Colby describes Anthony Colby's life as follows: "Anthony Colby, Puritan exile from England, pioneer of Boston, Salisbury and Amesbury, father of most American Colbys, was perhaps the original planter of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Winthrop's company came to Salem, th Charlestown and to Boston in the summer of 1630 and Saltonstall's company came to Watertown that fall. During the winter, the assistants selected Cambridge as the best place to fortify, they all agreeing to build there. By the fall of 1631 only eight families are known to have gone to cambridge; three from Boston - those of Anthony Colby, Jared Haddon and Joseph Redding - the last named coming later. In 1632 the settlers came in large numbers and the town was laid out in compact form, from the college grounds to the river, so as to be surrounded by palisades. As early as 7 Jan 1632, the erection of houses outside the village was prohibited. Anthony's farm was up in the Watertown road, where the river comes nearest the high ground beyond Ash Street, and away from the village, and he must have entered before the prohibition. He was called upon to build only four rods of the great garden fence, over a mile in length. He, therefore, got what he apparently did not want -- a garden right in the enclosure. But four rods was not in proportion to his ownings; and I judge he was considered an outsider equally by Watertown and Cambridge. By the time the Cambridge records began, some three years later, the Watertown line had been readjustted and his name appears on every page of that book, the boundaries showing that he was now surrounded by neighbors. And so he built him a second house, up by the Observatory hill, owning both for several years. I judge that he kept the first for his work people, while he drew the leafy veil of seclusion about his new home. And when two-thirds of the townsmen departed to distant regions from sheer disgust at the grab game of a few ringleaders -- from fifty to two hundred acres apiece while they had three -- I do not think he removed for larger allotments, but for solitude. "Then again, although a chuch was built in Cambridge in 1632, his church relation was not transferred from Boston to Cambridge. Together the names of Anthony and his lifelong friend Jared Haddon had been affixed by the minister to the roll of the Boston First church while yet they all tarried in Charlestown, in August 1630. But their membership had so been allowed to lapse that by the new law they were abliged to take the freeman's oath in 1634. Yet just as soon as the Rev Mr Cotton arrived in this country, Sep 1633, Anthony took his two children to Boston for baptist, [a girl, (eldest), who died young, and John, born 1633]; and his personally presenting them before the great congregation settles forever all suspicion that this constant habit of voluntary seclusion and isolation was the result of any shady record of ill-standing. He loved ever the solitude of the backwoods, and while other timorously hugged the village blickhouse and feared the Indians, he dwelt undaughted in the forests of Cambridge, of Rowley, of Amesbury, going thither before others went and flitting when others came." He has commonly been considered as a resident of Boston, Suffolk Co, MA during 1631, but I now incline to believe his boat was then moored just above Windmill hill in Cambridge, Middlesex Co, MA. In 1637, he was in Ipswich, Essex Co, MA; and in that year he sued John Hall of Saugus, Essex Co, MA, calling himself of "Ipswich". When Salisbury, Essex Co, MA, was settled in 1640, twelve Ipswich families were among the newcomers, and Anthony Colby received a lot in the first division, also a sweepage lot valued at 20 pounds. In this year he was appointed appraiser. he was one of the first group entitled to the use of the common lands at Amesbury, Essex Co, MA and was grandted land there in 1654 and 1658. His widow received a further grant in 1662 and 1664. Jarrett haddon sold to Samuel Fellows his dwelling and eight acres of land in Salisbury bounded on one side by land of Anthony Colby, 5 April 1644. This deed was acknowledged 28:4:1652. Anthony traded land on the west side of the Pow-wow bounded on one side by land of William Sargent 25:1:1645. In 1649 he moved again. All this time his friend jared Haddon was with him; their homes were side by side in Salisbury, and together they moved to Amesbury and occupied adjoining properties. In 1647 he sold his house and two acre lot in Salisbury to William Sargent. Thos Bradbury of Salisbury sold 23 Oct 1647 a lot of meadow adjoining land of Anthony Colby's. Mr Colby witnessed a deed from John Weed to Wm Osgood of land on the Powwow river in Salisbury in 1648. Thomas Macy, 23:11:1654, sold his dwelling house to Anthony Colby, and the barn and garden near the barn of Roger Eastman, and the well and bucket and rope belonging to it; and colby agreed to convey to Macy a mare, foal, boards, corn and pipe or hogshead staves or cattle. Ten years later Macy returned and sued Anthony's widow for the possession of his former homestead, but without success; and the very dwelling is occupied today by the ninth generation of his descendants of the name. In the course of the suit which was tried 12:2 mo:1664, John Colby testified as to the sale and adds that the price was 38 pounds; Thomas Barnat testified he had heard Macy say that he had received the payment for it. Anthony Colby's estate was distributed by order of the Court held at Salisbury 9 April 1661. He died intestate and Capt Thomas Bradbury and Capt Robert Pike, both of Salisbury, were trustees. Anthony's widow Susanna conveyed to Samuel Colby three acres at Salisbury next Jarett Haddon's land 24 Dec 1662; she acknowledged the deed 12:2 mo:1664, as Susanna Whitrid, having married again. Susanna on the same day 24 Dec 1662 also conveyed to Isaac for 10 pounds in board sixty acres of upland in Salisbury near the Haverhill line, bounded by land of William Sargent and Jarret Haddon. This deed was not acknowledged till 21:3:1671. 26:5:1664, Samuel Colby of Salisbury, planter, conveys "to my brother, Isaac Colby of Salisbury, planter, 3 acres of fresh meadow purchased of my mother Susanna Colby, now ye wife of Willi Whitrid." Land formerly granted by the town of Salisbury to Anthony Colby was sold 20 Oct 1660 for 3 pounds 10 sh by John Nash. jarett Haddon of Salisbury, tailor, for 35 sh sold his 8 acres adjoining widow Colby's land in the Lion's Mouth 10 Paril 1662. Jarrett Haddon 9 April 1662 of Salisbury sold twp pieces of land in salisbury both adjoining Colby's land in Salisbury; Colby had acquired both from Samuel Winsley. April 17, 1663, Haddon still of Salisbury sold to Anthony's son Isaac a 40-acre lot next to the lot of Anthony Colby, "late deceased." Macy Colby Home in Amesbury, MA The Thomas Macy home in Amesbury, MA, purchased by Anthony Colby in 1654, is now known as the Macy-Colby museum and the Descendants of Anthony Colby have contributed money for its restoration and upkeep. During "Old Home Week", 1904, the Amesbury Improvement Association, many of whom were descendants of the early settlers, erected as a memorial to the early settlers of the town a large boulder bearing a bronze tablet on which are the names of the first eighteen settlers. This memorial takes its name, the "Golgatha" boulder from it's position in the ancient burying ground locally known as "Golgatha", situated on a terrace overlooking the Powwow River. This spot was first selected as a burial place by those who had removed from the town of Salisbury to the west bank of the Powwow, and it has been estimated that the forty persons had been buried there previous to 1663, when the new cemetery was established. The names on the tablet are as follows: Richard Currier Thomas Barnard Orlando Bagley Anthony Colby Thomas Macy John Bailey John Hoyt Philip Challis George Martin Valentine Rowell henry Blaisdell William Sargent Edward Cattle jarret Haddon John Weed John Colby William Barnes William Huntington Jeanne/jmh

Sheri, I have long pages but I use anchors to direct researchers from an index of the people I have info on. I have one page of about 390 names and 11 long pages of info on those people. Someone only has to view the index and cli ck on the person to go to just their information. I agree, Jeanne does need credit. I think that extends to all of us. Some work behind the scenes and don't get the praise they deserve either. Fran By the Grace of God, we live in the land of the free because of the Brave. Pray like your life depended on it. It does!

When my cousin told me that she was going to give me all of her research and I told her that I wanted to put it up on the Trails websites, the only thing she asked was that she get the credit. She was leary at first because she has seen so many errors perpetuated through online genealogy. She has been doing research since the 1930s and I'm merely typing her work, nothing more. As you can see, this research is well documented, as well as including lots of raw data, which you cannot possibly refute or replace. I don't need any credit. As to how you want to put it on the site, well, to me, that's your decision. Personally, I prefer to locate exactly what I am looking for and go to it. If I'm looking for bios, then I would prefer to go there, wills, go there, etc. I don't like wading through long pages to locate what I am after. I don't like having to move my mouse left to right or right to left in order to read something. Most of these individuals tended to pick a spot and stay in that one spot and I would probably break it down by biographies, wills, deeds, vital records, etc and put it on the applicable counties. Since I am only to the Cs, you can imagine how much data you are going to be inundated with.... Phyllis has tended to include details about women who were tried and executed during the Salem Witch Trials, you might want to include some information about that, whatever you can find. You might also want to see what you can dig up about shipwrecks along the coasts and lists of passengers, crew, etc from assorted ships. Most people know about the Mayflower in 1620, but did you know that it made a second trip? You might want to include links/details about Maine, since that was also considered part of Massachusetts until Maine became a state. You will notice that some of the older documents I had for Kittery, York Co, Maine refer to it as the colony/state of Maine. Phyllis had lots of photos that I need to get scanned and sent to you. Some of the photos are of the Saugus Iron Works, assorted Burying Grounds, etc. I don't know if there are any photos of any of these people, but, then again, I'm only in the Cs, so who knows what all I will find. Another ship fleet that is fairly well known is the Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (again, more ancestors for me). Sorry, Sheri, don't ask, I do not have enough hours in the day to take on another site(s)!!! The list of those who make one eligible for the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury, I think I would research to find more information about the town and it's history, etc. In the front of this directory is three sketches: one is a sketch of the monument commemorating the landing place where these men landed in 1635; a second one is a sketch of another monument to those whose risks the hardships of emigrating on the ship "Mary and John" in 1635; and the third is a sketch of the Jackman Willet House, which was built in 1696 and is now owned by the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury and was moved to its present locating in 1981. Many of the states in the Northeast have a wealth of information and we should try to capitalize on that as much as possible. Once I have finished, hopefully you will have more than enough data to attract the perfect individual to take on Massachusetts and all of it's counties! Then again, with everyone else starting to share data, between all of us, you could become inundated! <grins> With all of this data, you may also consider putting a search engine on the site. That way, if anyone wants to quickly locate something, it wouldn't be too much effort!

This is submitted by Phyllis D Purdy This is only for Trails use Bio: Robert CLements, son of Richard and Agnes Clements of Cosby was baptised at Cosby, Leicestershire, England on 14 Dec 1595 and died at Haverhill, Essex Co, MA, 29 September 1658. He married 1st, before 1615, Lydia, who was buried at Ansley, Warwickshire, England, 12 March 1642. This Lydia's maiden name is thought to be "Drummer" by some but no proof has been found. He married 2ns, before 1657, Judith, who after his death married John Whitney of Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA, and died in 1669. Robert Clements probably grew to manhood in the parish of Cosby. In 1617, his father, Richard Clements, died, and on 20 October in that year Robert Clements, then aged 23 years, was granted administration on his estate. (Act Book, Rerogative Court of Canterbury, 1615-18, Fol 133) Unfortunately the papers relating to Richard Clements estate are lost, only the record of the Commission to the administrator being preserved. In this same year, 1617,Robert Clements paid 60 pounds for land in Huncote, where he lived for a number of years. Huncote is in the parish of Narborough, Leicestershire. In 1619, his mother, Agnes Clements, died and the administration of her estate was granted at Leicester, 7 Aug 1619, to William Fellowes of Enderby. (Act Book, Co Leicester, 1604-1634) William Fellowes was evidently her son by a former marriage. In the record of the Commission she is called "Agnes Clements of Huncote", and was uncoubtedly living with her son, Robert Clements, at the time of her death. Robert Clements removed from Huncote to Ansley between 3 April 1620 and 22 November 1634. Ansley is a small market town in the northern part of Warwickshire. No record of the purchase of this land has been found, and while it may have been part of his inheritance from his father, it is also possible that it was his wife's portion as his sons of age join in its sale. In 1534, a Robert Clements purchased land at Broughton, and from the fact that his relatives were connected with that parish, it seems probably that our Robert Clements is identical to this man. Four years later, in 1638, he acquired land in Witherly. Robert Clement's wife, Lydia, died in 1642 and was buried at Ansley, 12 Mar 1642. Her parentage is unknown. She was the mother of all his children, and the fact that her memory is cherished is shown by the fact that each of these children named a daughter for her. One of her descendants, Percival Wood Clement, Governor of Vermont, had a bronze tablet to her memory set in the wall of Ansley Church. He was Governor 1919 to 1921. The tablet bears the following inscription: "In Memory of Lydia Clements Buried in this churchyard March 12, 1642 The wife of Robert Clements who emigrated to New England 1642 And became one of the founders of Haverhill, Massachusetts" It must have been the death of his wife that made Robert Clements decide to emigrate to New England. He was now a man of about 43 with property at Cosby, Huncote, Ansley and Witherly. Tradition makes him also interested in ships or "Ventures" on the sea. His son, Job, had been in New England in 1639. Two months after the death of his wife, Robert Clements sold his land at Witherly and with his sons, Job, John and Robert, and his daughters, Sarah and Lydia, sailed for America. His sons, Abraham and Daniel, aged about 20 and 18 respectively, he left behind in England, they being pledged to the Army of the Commonwealth. His daughter, Mary, aged about 5 years, he left in Coventry, probably with relatives until such time as she would be old enough to stand the hardships of the new life. Tradition states that Robert Clements came over on his own ship; no sailing list has been found. After their arrival in Massachusetts, Robert Clements and Tristram Coffin, who is believed to have come over in the same boat, followed Rev John Ward, Hugh Sherrat and others up the river to Pentucket, probably in the fall of 1642. Here the group bought from the Indians a tract of land called Passaconoway, where the city of Haverhill now stands. Haverhill, Essex Co, MA was named for Haverhill, England, the birthplace of Rev John Ward, the beloved pastor of the group of colonists. In the spring following the purchase of this land, Robert Clements cleared a portion of his land for "ye planting of ye corn". In 1645 Robert and his sons were named in a list of thirty two land holders at Haverhill. Robert Clements was made freeman in November, 1645. In 1647 he was appointed "Commissioner to end causes" in Haverhill. This office is equivalent to the present day Justice of the Peace. From 1647 to 1654, he served as deputy to the General Court and was succeeded in that office by his son, Lt John Clement. He was associate judge, county commissioner, and was appointed and empowered by the general court to give the oath of fidelity to the inhabitants of Haverhill. He was also appointed to set off public lands, fix their limit, etc. He held many public offices and was held in high esteem in the community. He must have been an innkeeper in 1653, when he was given permission by the Salisbury Court to sell wine in Haverhill. Robert Clement's youngest daughter, Mary, came to New England about 1652, and she married John OSgood of Andover, Essex Co, MA. She said in a deposition that she formerly lived in the city of Coventry, Warwickshire, England. She was one of those suspected of witchcraft in the great delusion of 1692. She was accused due to the illness of Joseph Ballard and his wife. Dudley Bradstreet issued a warrant for her arrest and she was taken to Salem for trial. She was examined before John Hawthorne, one of His Majesty's justices, in September 1692, and confessed that she was a witch and had been for 11 years, and had afflicted several persons. The minutes say that her husband was asked if she were telling the truth, and he said he believed her, whereupon she and a number of others of Andover were indicted, January, 1693, by the Grand Jury and William Stoughton and his Associates. Before this, on the 16th of October, she had recanted before Increase Mather, saying she was frightened and browbeaten by the examiners into making the confession. After about four months imprisonment she was released, with others, on the petition of Dudley Bradstreet and a number of citizens of Andover, who "had come to a better state of mind". In the New England records we find that there is much variation on the Clements surname; many simply appear as Clement, the final s being dropped. Robert Clement's will was dated 6 September 1658 and was proved 11:8:1658 Jeanne/jmh

Bio: Aquila Chase was the ancestor of one of the largest Chase families in America but his own ancestry remains unproven. Aquila Chase and his older brother, Thomas, were among the first settlers of Hampton, Rockingham Co, NH. They received grants of land in Hampton, June 1640, along with fifty-five other settlers. As owners of houselots, they were listed among those entitled to a share in the common lands, December 3, 1645. Aquila Chase remained in Hampton for about six years. Some authorities intimate that Thomas and Aquila Chase were employed by their uncle, Thomas Chase, who was part owner of the ship "John and Francis", and thus became navigators and so found their way to America. This theory is strengthened by the fact that in 1646, Aquila Chase removed to Newbury, Essex Co, MA, that town having granted "to Aquila Chase, anno 1646, four acres of land at the new towne for a house lott and six acres of upland for a planting lott, where it can be had, and six acres of marsh where it can be had, also on condition that he doe goe to sea and do service in the towne, whith a boate for four years." There is a tradition in the Chase family that Aquila was the first person to pilot a vessel across the bar at the mouth of the Merrimac River. The four acres granted him, as above, were at what is now Newburyport, Essex Co, MA. In the New England Historical Genealogical Society building in Boston, there is a tablet in Caen stone showing a low relief of a 17th century ship beneath which is the following inscription: Aquila Chase Mariner 1618 - 1670 Hampton NH 1640 Newbury, Mass 1646 By old repute the first Pilot at the mouth of the Merrimack River Erected by his descendants John Carroll Chase 1924 The only record to his discredit is one in which Aquila Chase and his wife, Ann, together with her brother, David Wheeler, were presented and fined "for gathering pease on the Sabbath." They were admonished by the Court, after which their fines were remitted. Aquila Chase (his A mark) of Newbury conveyed to my brother Thomas Chase of Hampton all my land in Hampton excepting one dwelling house and 1 and 1/2 acres of land sometime in the possession of Steven Sanborn, having agreed to convey the same to my said brother twenty years ago, May 15, 1667 Wit: Mehitable Dalton and Hannah Dalton His wife Ann Chase (her B mark) signed and both acknowledged May 15, 1667, before Samuell Dalton, commissioner. [The Essex Antiquarian, Vol 6, p 134, Old Norfolk Co Records] A deposition made September 25, 1666, mentions "Accquilla Chas, aged agout forty-eights years," which would make 1618 the year of his birth. He died in Newbury, Essex Co, MA December 27, 1670. Aquila Chase married Ann Wheeler, daughter of John and Ann (Yeomans) Wheeler of Hampton, Rockingham Co, NH. After the death of Aquila his widow, Ann, married 2nd, Daniel Mussiloway, 14 June 1672 at Newbury, Essex Co, MA. She died 21 April 1687 at Newbury, Essex Co, MA.
