From her husband Jonathan=E2=80=99s birth year (1764), that of h= is brother David (1762), and that based on the age at death recorded for = Martha=E2=80=99s sister (David=E2=80=99s wife) Elizabeth (ca. 1764), it i= s reasonable to suppose that Martha=E2=80=99s reported age of 85 in 1850=E2= =80=94producing a birth year of ca. 1765=E2=80=94is about right. For sources supporting the identification of Martha Westcott=E2=80=99= s parents, see the preceding note. - ------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan, who had married a sister of his brother David=E2=80=99s wife, l= ived at the sisters=E2=80=99 hometown of Warwick about the same time as d= id David but probably even more briefly. Like his brother, he had been of= Putney on 2 January 1794 (Putney L,T&VR 3:20-22); of Warwick when on 3 S= eptember of that year his father deeded half the Putney homestead farm ba= ck to him, he probably returned to Putney about that time (ibid., 3:77-78= ). Clearly by 1 May 1796 Jonathan had returned to Putney and on 6 Septemb= er of that year was listed among the town's freemen (ibid., 1:1:463; 3:34= 5). In 1807 he bought from brother David the other half of what had been = their father's farm (Putney Deeds 4:318). Like David, he was listed as a = Baptist on 22 March 1804 and does not appear on a similar, 1806 list (Put= ney T&VR 59). Since Jonathan's death is reported in the records of the Pu= tney Congregational Church (1:106, in Vt. VR Coll.), he had probably resu= med worshipping there.=20 Jonathan's estate inventory, presented to the court on 24 May 1813, value= d his personal estate at $492 and 150 acres of real estate at $1,890 (Wes= tminster District, Vt., Probates D:380-82). The debts accruing to the est= ate were such as to force widow Martha, granted letters of administration= on 25 March 1813, to sell an "out pasture" of about 50 acres in two tran= sactions totaling $379 (Westminster Dist. Probates D:323, E:219-20, F:127= -28; Putney Deeds 5:56, 166). The 100-acre home farm, valued at $1,600, w= as finally distributed on 24 March 1818 to Martha and six of the ten surv= iving children (Westminster Dist. Probates F:183-86). It was sold out of = the family in 1832 by son Lovell, who earlier that year had acquired the = other heirs' interests (Putney Deeds 7:305-61 passim). Martha remarried b= etween 1820 and 1823, taking as her second husband John Priest of Westmin= ster, on Putney's northern border (1820 U.S. Census, Putney, Windham Co.,= Vt., 133 [Radway]; Putney Deeds 6:62, 6! 3, 338, 350, 7:123).=20 Redway/Radway children, b.

[Here, out of order, is an additional item of interest.] From 1812 to 182= 0 the surname of Timothy's eldest son, Wilmarth, daughter-in-law Martha (= Jonathan's widow), and their respective families underwent a transition f= rom Redway to Radway (see Putney Deeds 4:570, 580, 621, 5:56-622 passim, = 6:62-532 passim, 7:29-361 passim; 1820 U.S. Census, Putney, Windham Co., = Vt., 133, 134). Certain of Wilmarth=E2=80=99s descendants retained the la= tter spelling; others reverted to the former. All Jonathan=E2=80=99s desc= endants appear to have remained Radways. (It is ironic that this modific= ation did not follow on the heels of the Redways' migration to Putney but= occurred after more than thirty years there.

I am searching for whatever happened to my ggg grandmother Lovina Severance Howe (b. 14 February 1824 in NY) after the death of her hubby Rhino Howe in June 1867. They resided in Tunbridge, Orange County, VT. After Rhino's death according to probate they lost everything. It was tragic enough because Rhino and her daughter died 4 days apart, and she was left with a mess of minor children. The last entries of the probate (both dated July 8, 1868) says....in one entry the monies were handed over to Lovina for the care of minor children...there is a breakdown...then there is an entry that states money is given to a Nathaniel King for the care of the minor children because he is their guardian...both have the same date but this makes no sense.... Was Lovina not capable of taking care of her kids? (does anybody have a list of the buried in the State Hospital in Windham, VT?) Did she have a breakdown? I can not find them in 1870. (Is there an index?) By 1880 some children are in Worcester, Mass. others in Chautauqua County, NY, my gg gram went to Washington County, VT, and at least one went to Atlanta GA.

When on 2 October 1795 his father deeded half the Putney homestead farm back to him, David was living at Warwick, Massachusetts—wife Elizabeth's father, a brazier, had brought his family there from Dighton between 1765 and 1773—where he stayed probably less than two years (Putney L,T&VR 3:196; Bristol Co Deeds 50:231; Warwick VR 1:68). By 1 May 1796, certainly, David had returned to Putney and the following 6 September was listed among the town's freemen (Putney L,T&VR 1:1:462, 3:345). On 22 March 1804 David was identified in Putney records as a Baptist (Putney T&VR 59); he was not on a similar, 1806 list, however. Between 17 and 21 January 1807, he disposed of all his lands at Putney, including the aforementioned half of his father's former farm, which he sol! d for $600 to brother Jonathan, who already owned the other half (Putney Deeds 4:318, 319, 419). David and his family left Putney probably about this time. Although absent from U.S. censuses after 1800, they next appear in the northern-Vermont township of Burke, where on 25 May 1813 a warning-out order was issued against them and served on his wife (Burke T&VR A:146). The only known, subsequent American record pertaining to this family documents the marriage—at Burke, 28 October 1816 (not 1815)—of David’s namesake and only known son to Nancy Humphrey (Burke T&VR A:445). While it is uncertain if the family was still (again?) residing at Burke at this time (neither party’s residence is noted), the record’s failure to refer to the groom as “Jr.” suggests that David Sr.—and thus the bulk of his family—was living elsewhere. The next known record of father or son locates both in 1825 at Barnston, less than ten miles north of the Vermont-Quebec border: listed successively in Quebec’s earliest ninet! eenth-century census are heads-of-household David Redway, David Redway 2d, and Wheeler Westcoat, eldest child of Elizabeth's brother Richard (1825 Quebec Census, Richelieu Co., 728; Warwick VR 1:45). David and Elizabeth, David Jr. and Nancy, and three of the latter couple's daughters are buried at Barnston’s Buckland Cemetery (gravestones [Dodge]). The archivist for nearby North Hatfield’s Old North Church Cemetery Association reports that Ruth F. Redway, wife of Silas Perkins (and probable daughter of David and Elizabeth Redway), is buried there (Terry Skeats, “Ruth Redway,” e-mail to compiler from <[email protected]>, 26 Jan. 1999).

VR Coll.); buried at Dipping Hole Cemetery, Putney; married at Putney, 18 February 1790 (intentions 31 Jan.), MARTHA WESTCOTT, born probably at Rehoboth or Dighton, ca. 1765, and living at Newburg, Ohio, in 1850, aged 85, daughter of Richard and Rachel (Goff) Westcott/Westcoat/Waistcoat/etc.[2] (Putney L,T&VR 1:1:343, 1:2:15; Rehoboth VR 2:268; Bristol Co. Deeds 50:231; 1850 U.S. Census, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio 650 [Rodway]). ---------------------------------------------------------- [2] The 1850 U.S. Census (fully cited above) reports Martha’s birth place as Massachusetts; she is enumerated in the household of her youngest son, wagon maker “L[ovell] Rodway,” aged 38 [sic]. Since Lovell was actually 40, it is tempting to doubt the accuracy of his mother’s reported age. A lineage chart of Ohio Radways and allied families shows Martha’s birth year as 1762; it also has her as having died in 1847, however (Eldert L. Hyde, "Genealogy of the Barlow, Hyde, Radway & Marshall Families" [chart, 1934; photocopy in custody of compiler]). From her husband Jonathan’s birth year (1764), that of his brother David (1762), and that based on the age at death recorded for Martha’s sister (David’s wife) Elizabeth (ca. 1764), it is reasonable to suppose that Martha’s reported age of 85 in 1850—producing a birth year of ca. 1765—is about right. For sources supporting the identification of Martha Westcott’s parents, see the preceding note. --------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan, who had married a sister of his brother David’s wife, lived at the sisters’ hometown of Warwick about the same time as did David but probably even more briefly. Like his brother, he had been of Putney on 2 January 1794 (Putney L,T&VR 3:20-22); of Warwick when on 3 September of that year his father deeded half the Putney homestead farm back to him, he probably returned to Putney about that time (ibid., 3:77-78). Clearly by 1 May 1796 Jonathan had returned to Putney and on 6 September of that year was listed among the town's freemen (ibid., 1:1:463; 3:345). In 1807 he bought from brother David the other half of what had been their father's farm (Putney Deeds 4:318). Like David, he was listed as a Baptist on 22 March 1804 and does not appear on a similar, 1806 list (Putney T&VR 59). Since Jonathan's death is reported in the records of the Putney Congregational Church (1:106, in Vt. VR Coll.), he had probably resumed worshipping there. Jonathan's estate inventory, presented to the court on 24 May 1813, valued his personal estate at $492 and 150 acres of real estate at $1,890 (Westminster District, Vt., Probates D:380-82). The debts accruing to the estate were such as to force widow Martha, granted letters of administration on 25 March 1813, to sell an "out pasture" of about 50 acres in two transactions totaling $379 (Westminster Dist. Probates D:323, E:219-20, F:127-28; Putney Deeds 5:56, 166). The 100-acre home farm, valued at $1,600, was finally distributed on 24 March 1818 to Martha and six of the ten surviving children (Westminster Dist. Probates F:183-86). It was sold out of the family in 1832 by son Lovell, who earlier that year had acquired the other heirs' interests (Putney Deeds 7:305-61 passim). Martha remarried between 1820 and 1823, taking as her second husband John Priest of Westminster, on Putney's northern border (1820 U.S. Census, Putney, Windham Co., Vt., 133 [Radway]; Putney Deeds 6:62, 6! 3, 338, 350, 7:123). Redway/Radway children, b. (except perhaps no. 3) at Putney (Putney T&VR 397): 1. Bethany, b. 7 March 1791. 2. Experience, b. 2 Dec. 1792. 3. Arad, b. (Warwick?) 17 Aug. 1794. 4. Martha, b. 2 Aug. 1796. 5. Daniel, b. 16 May 1798. 6. Rachel, b. 3 June 1800. 7. Elizabeth, b. 26 July 1802. 8. Richard, b. 24 July 1804. 9. Preserved, b. 26 June (d. 24 July) 1806. 10. Laban, b. 16 Dec. 1807. 11. Lovell, 26 Aug. 1809. [Here, out of order, is an additional item of interest.] From 1812 to 1820 the surname of Timothy's eldest son, Wilmarth, daughter-in-law Martha (Jonathan's widow), and their respective families underwent a transition from Redway to Radway (see Putney Deeds 4:570, 580, 621, 5:56-622 passim, 6:62-532 passim, 7:29-361 passim; 1820 U.S. Census, Putney, Windham Co., Vt., 133, 134). Certain of Wilmarth’s descendants retained the latter spelling; others reverted to the former. All Jonathan’s descendants appear to have remained Radways. (It is ironic that this modification did not follow on the heels of the Redways' migration to Putney but occurred after more than thirty years there. Timothy’s other two sons and their respective families left Putney before the transition began and escaped it altogether.) [If you'd like information about Timothy and Mary (Willmarth) Redway, the rest of their children, and their Redway ancestors, let me know and I'll send it to you as an e-mail attachment. You might also obtain copies of three articles, all in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register: "Joanna Hildreth, Wife of Captain James3 Redway of Rehoboth, Massachusetts: How Much Circumstantial Evidence Is Enough?" NEHGR 146(1992):337-42; "Samuel4 Redway of Rehoboth, Massachusetts: His First Wife and Later Life," NEHGR 150(1996):311-14; and "The Redway/Radway Family of Putney, Vermont: A Branch of the Rehoboth, Massachusetts, Redways," NEHGR 154(2000):446-58 (this is the one mentioned in my introductory remarks).]

My Charles was born in 1785so I doubt he was the father of your Charles S. Don't know where my Charles was born. Yes, we have Windows 98. We have the census bundle but I had trouble finding any Dickinsons in it. But they are not complete. Cushman does not ring a bell. I doubt there is any directory for Saxtons River. I'm from that area originally and it's a dinky little town, not even its own phone book. Charles' descendants are (wife) Catherine Jackson, son George W., dau. Clarissa, son David, and the rest of the list up to me. I can come forward but I can't go back. Afraid I can't be much help, but that's about the only info I have on that generation. He had some business dealings (land, etc.) with a Daniel, but I don't know which Daniel. My Charles S. owned the Saxtons River Inn at the time. He owned quite a bit of land and you'd think I could trace him but cannot. I've been up through the vital records and found nothing I did not already know. Thank! s for your interest. Kay D.

>> MAXWELL, ALEXANDER, CONABLE, RICE, STEVENS I am looking for information on the MAXWELL family of Guilford, Windham, VT. Any information would be welcome, but I am specifically looking for JAMES MAXWELL, b. 1 May 1791, Guilford, d. 16 Dec 1869, Baraboo, WI. He married DOROTHA STEVENS 1 Jan 1812 in Guilford, and then I lose him until he shows up in Wisconsin. Does anyone know where he lived in between? Any information about who DOROTHA STEVENS' parents were would also be helpful. And, if anyone else is researching this family, PLEASE contact me! I have considerable information following the line of James' and Dorotha's oldest son, James Alexander, but not much on the rest of the family.

Ms. Depatie, Thank you for responding to my query. The key to my Dickinson research is Saxtons River. Your Charles S. Dickinson may be the father of my Charles S., or related in some other way...an uncle? My Charles S. (1809-1874) had several children born in Vermont. One son, James W. Dickinson, was born in Saxtons River in 1836. Charles S. probably left the area for Massachusetts in 1842. Do you have MS Excel (Windows98)? I can send you a matrix that contains details in regard to the Dickinson family. I would be interested in US census returns for Saxtons River for 1830-1860. I live in Michigan. I may have to make a trip to the Allen County (Indiana) Library to view them. The purpose of my reserach is backgound for a biography of Pauline Cushman. She was a nineteenth-cenetury actress and Civil War spy. In 1853 she married (in New Orleans) Charles C. Dickinson, another son of Charles S. I am hoping to establish her husband's ancestry and a connection to Saxtons River. There is a notation in her pension application that their son, Charles L. Dickinson, died in Saxtons River in 1864 while living with an aunt, Mrs. A.A. Newton. My Charles S. eventually ended up in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1850s. He and many of his descendents are buried in Cleveland. I wonder if there is a city directory for Saxton's River between 1850 and 1860? Do you know the descendents of your Charles S. Dickinson? Any help will be appreciiated. Regards, Bill Christen

I don't know whether or not this is of interest to you, but my gggrandfather, Charles S. Dickinson b. ca 1785 and died in 1855 and is buried in Saxtons River, VT. Buried with him are his wife Catherine Jackson D. and 2-3 children, George W., David, Clarissa. I am looking for Charles' parentage. I realize the dates and laces aren't quite right for you but perhaps would be a little help.

Linda I may have some information on this line out of Windham VT thru the Hescock line. I would be happy to share with whoever is interested. My lines from that area are HESCOCK and RAMSDELL lines. Sheron

Hi, I have been looking high and low(Mass, Maine and Ct) for the parents of Ebenezer Grant, born abt 1790 in Mass (which could mean Maine too). I just heard about Neverson. When I checked his children, there wasn't an Ebenezer. Have you come across any of Neverson's siblings? I have traced my Grant line back to Ebenezer's birth, but no further. I do know that he married a Sarah/Sally, moved to Ovid, Seneca Co. NY, in 1815, they had six children, including "my" John. The family moved to Raisinville, Monroe Co. Mich in 1831. Ebenezer died there in 1855 amd John died of disease in Feb 1863 in the 17th Mich Co. C. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Steve, La Jolla Cal

I am hoping your Reed Grant is closely related to "my" Ebenezer Grant. Ebenezer was born abt1790 in Mass, married a Sarah/Sally, lived in Ovid NY Seneca Co, 1815-1831, had six kids including John Grant. The family moved to Raisinville, Monroe Co. Michigan in 1831. Ebenezer died there in 1855. John died in 1863 of disease while in the 17th Mich, Co. C. Do you know anything about Reed's parents, or siblings? Any help would be appreciated. Steve of La Jolla Calif. I am soooooo close to getting the Grants set.

Hi List, I have just been given information that the person I am looking for may have come from Windham County, VT. I am looking for an Enos STOCKWELL who married Lidia/Lydia West of NY. I was told that there was an Enos Stockwell born in Brattleboro (Windham County) VT in 1805 to Asaph Stockwell and Lucy Harris. That is about the correct date of birth for my Enos. He and Lydia had at least one child, Harriet STOCKWELL who was born about 1825 and died in 1907. Harriet first married John C. ROBERTS of Plattsburgh, NY and they had 2 children, Darwin and Sarah (Truman BATES). After John's death in 1882, Harriet remarried to James McKINNEY of Plattsburgh, NY in 1896. Harriet's daughter, Sarah BATES was the informant for her mother's death. I do not know how much Sarah actually knew about her family. She said that Harriet was born in MA. The death certificate is where I finally found the name of Harriet's parents. If you can be of some assistance in finding Enos STOCKWELL, I would love to hear from you. I have checked the roots archives, Familysearch, Genforum, Ancestry, Stockwell, Roberts, Bates lists without any success. My FHC is closed so I cannot order any films. Thank-you all in advance.
