10058 The most accurate information that we have of Capt. David Godfrey is from a brief sketch of his life, written by his grandson, George Porter Godfrey, and read before a reunion of the Godfrey Family Association in Michigan at their first meeting in 1887: "...He and his brother, with ten or twelve other families emigrated from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia soon after the close of the French and Indian War in consequence of land bounties and other privileges offered by the king of England. there he lost his first wife and married our grandmother, Elizabeth Harris. Following this, he, and a part of the families who had accompanied him, abandoned their land and in 1769, procured an old sloop and turned its prow toward the Colonies. In his youth he was a sailor and made fourteen voyages to the west Indies and several to South America---how many as Captain we have no means of ascertaining..." Capt. David settled near what is now the town of Otisville where he built a house which is still standing in a good state of preservation.

David Godfrey was a soldier in the Continental Army, serving as a Private in Capt. Abraham Cuddeback's Company, Col. James McClaghery's 2nd Regiment of Ulster County Milita. On Aug. 17, 1790, he was included in a large group of men several of whom were Revolutionary soldiers, who, by right of occupancy, were granted a 7000-acre tract of land in the town of Mamakating, ulster county. A Survey return, dated Sept. 10, 1791, lists him as one of the group owning 200 acres.

The records of the OldSchool Baptist Church show that Elizabeth Godfrey was one of the original constituent members when it was organized in 1785. 
GODFREY, Capt David (I78578)
 
10059 The name "Edmund Ward" is closely identified with the history of Eastchester, Westchester Co., NY. In bolton's Hist. of Westchester Co., vol 1, p. 211, we find the following item: "In the year 1700 it was resolved by the inhabitants of the town of Eastchester that Edmund Ward shall have and hold sixty acres of land, in consideration that the said Edmund Ward do pay the Indians purely, and clear the said town of and from the said payment when need be, etc.," Some years earlier than this transaction, it is likely that Edmund Ward, and possibly his aged father Samuel, removed from Fairfield to Eastchester. Samuel died Jan. 8, 1693, and his widow Hannah, and son Edmund administered upon his estate. Under date Dec. 28, 1699, we find the following in the Greenfield, Conn., Probate Records: "Edmund Ward, belonging to the manor of Fordham, in the county of Westchester, in the province of New York, administrator on the estate of my honored father, Samuel Ward, late of Fairfield, in the colony of Connecticut deceased, at a special court held at Fairfield, Mar. 29, 1693, have by these presents, delivered unto my loving brother, William War, according to order of court, for his legacy, the several tracts of land, hereafter mentioned," etc. Edmund Ward was one of the foremost men of this new settlement of Eastchester. By special grant of the crown, he, in company with others, became proprietor of what was known as the Long Reach, or New Patent. "Anne, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, etc., the Queen, defender of the faith, etc., grants to Col, William Peartree and others (among them Edmund Ward) a tract of land in Westchester Co. Dated 23rd of Sep in the 7th year of her Majesty's reign, 178." (Bolton Hist. Westchester Co., vol. 1, p. 211)
Mr. Ward was very active in all affairs pertaining to the welfare of the new settlement. He was Town Clerk, Recorder, etc., and held many offices of trust and responsibility. "The name of Ward was, during the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries, that of the strongest family in the town of Eastchester. Edmund Ward was one of the patentees of the Long Reach grant. His son Edmund was the colonial Member of Assembly, and his two grandchildren were distinguished in the Revolution - Edmund, for his inflexible self-sacrifice and loyalty and Stephen, for his services in the patriot cause. Charles and Jonathan, sons of Stephen, rose to offices of influence and honor in the town." (Scharff History of Westchester Co., vol. 2, p. 750) 
WARD, Edmund (I59153)
 
10060 The name is sometimes spelled Canfield. In one old document he is called "Mathu Camphile of Norwack." He had the title of Mr. He was first of New Haven, Conn., but subsequently removed to Norwalk, Conn. Was made a freeman in 1654; was deputy 1654-1666; assistant 1658, 1663. His name occurs in the charter of 1662. Afterwards, about 1669, he became one of the first settlers of Newark, N.J., where he was magistrate 1670-72; assistant 1669, 1671, 1673. The inventory of his estate is dated in 1673, in which year he died, between March 19, 1672/3 and June 6. CAMPFIELD, Matthew (I101982)
 
10061 The name of his first wife and date of his marriage is unknown. He may have married first in England or Virginia. he m. second, 1663, in Boston, Grace (?) Ricks, b. about 1620-1625, the widow of William Ricks who was the son of Robert Ricks of Kenninghall, Co. of Norfolk, Eng. John Davys in 1641 agrees to build a house in Boston, 16 x 14 ft., for tis William Ricks, for the sum of L21.

John Bearse Newcomb of Elgin, Ill., the author and compiler of "Genealogical Memoir of the Newcomb Family, 1874," says: "Of the early history of Capt. Andrew Newcomb comparatively little is known; but from the records information has been obtained by which some idea may be formed of the man who appears to have been the progenitor of the largest branch of the Newcomb family in America. That he was born in England is quite certain; that he emigrated from the west of England, perhaps Devonshire or Wales, nearly all traditions declare. Beside tradition, however, there are other reasons that make it probable that such was the case. The date of his arrival in this country is not definitely known, but is is quite probable that he was among the earliest settlers of New England. First mention of him is made in 1663, in Bost, Mass., when and where he married his second wife, Grace: he was at that time a mariner or sea captain, and it is quite probable that this had been his occupation from youth, although there is no record to show it."

Later research inclines to the opinion that Capt. Newcomb came to America as captain of a sailing vessel, making his first landing perhaps at Barbados and from thence to Virginia. Absence of records in Virginia makes it impossible to verify this opinion.

Records indicate that Capt. Newcomb had not obtained a residence in Boston until after his second marriage, but that soon thereafter he, with his wife, occupied the former residence of William Ricks....

10063 The name of his wife is unknown.

William was in Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony, by 1639 where his children James and Rebecca were born. he removed to Southampton, Long Island, New York, by 1642. On 30 August 1659 he is mentioned in Fairfield Land records and deeds, buying fifteen acres near the Chere/Chayr Swamp from Thomas Morehouse, which land he sold to John Hardman on 17 March 1662/3.

He resided in the north part of Eastham, now Truro, Cape Cod, Mass. january 28, 1701/2, "voted to make inquiry concerning a whale whitch (it is said) Simon Newcomb and Rich Rich cut up at Billingsgate last year." Mr. Newcomb was chosen fence-view in 1702. There was laid out to him in 1711, as one of the proprietors of Truro, two pieces of land--4 acres for his tenement on Lieutenants Island, 2 acres in northeasterly corner and 2 acres northeasterly of Samuel Mayo, Jr's, lot. "A record of the divition of the pond of Moonpoon and the Old Field at Eastern harbor in ye north part of Truro called Moonpoon old field divition as they were laid out and lotted and bounded for ye proprietors thereof on ye fourth day of march 1711-12 the 6th lot fell to Wm. Dyer, Simeon Newcomb and Daniel and Benj. Small," 12 acres. he received, by division other lots of land near the line of Eastham and Truro and near Pamet Point.

His name, as also those of his sons, Simon and Andrew, was signed 12 June 1711 to a petition of the inhabitants of Billingsgate, a village of Eastham, "desiring John Done to go before the governor and seek remedy for difficulties they were subject to." The petition is now on file in Vol. 113, p. 606 of Mass. Archives at Boston......

10066 The name of Thomas Huse appears in the list of "Snowshoo men" of Captain Hugh March's company belonging to the North Regiment in Essex for operations against the Indians in 1710. In the Newbury Vital Records he is referred to as Sergeant Thomas Huse. Thomas Huse and his brother William were granted land near Contoocook, NY., in 1739 for service as soldiers in the expedition to Canada in 1690.

thomas Huse was a mason. He left a will dated 15 November 1732, proved December 1734, at which time all his children were living.

The will of Hannah, "widow of Thomas Huse of Newbury," was dated 5 February 1737 and was witnessed by Abel Huse. It was proved 23 May 1737. It mentions her three surviving daughter, Mary Holt, Hannah Hays, and Ruth Burnap, and son Ebenezer.

The following is from Currier's "OULD NEWBURY":

"Doctor Greenland sold property 1665-1666 to Israel Webster.....Mr. Webster owned the place until his death 7 December 1683. The next owner recorded was Thomas Huse, a mason, Mr. Webster's son-in-law. He owned it in 1692; and 6 May 1695, he sold it to John Badger of Newbury for L46---from which it was called Badger's Corner."

10069 The New England and Historical Genealogical register:

In 1683 and 1684, John Austin, Thomas Austin and Elizabeth (Austin) Finch, all of Greenwich, gave receipts to their father-in-law (i.e., stepfather) William Hubbard for their portion of their deceased father JohnAustin's estate. John was probably a commercial tobacco grower, since his inventory contained, "a tobaca wheele, bouls & traies," ad L4 worth of tobacco -- a substantial amount considering his house and land together were valued at L12.

Writing in 1860, James Savage assumed that this was the same John Austin who had appeared briefly in New London, Connecticut, from 1647 to after 1651. While this may be the case, Savage did not mention his source(s) and no records have been found to confirm that this was indeed the same person. the possibility still exists, however, since a John Austin did own land in New London in 1648-49, and apparently sold at least some of it to Samuel Lathrop there sometime before 13 June 1655. John Austin was not in New London after that time, but no evidence has been found (other than the coincidence in timing) that connects him with anyone in Stamford or Greenwich. As already mentioned above, John Austin of Greenwich was certainly not part of the New Haven Austin family.

John Austin was one of eleven Greenwich men who pledged their allegiance to the Colony of New Haven on 6 October 1656. Greenwich itself was loosely connected with the Connecticut Colony, but not recognized as a separate town until May 1665, after the consolidation of the Connecticut and New Haven colonies. Before 1665, Greenwich people appeared as inhabitants of a fairly independent settlement at various times in the records of Stamford, New Haven, and Fairfield (the nearest other Connecticut colony town.) Therefore, in 1657, John Austin's estate was of concern to both colonies. At that time, new Haven had jurisdiction over Stamford, and so John Austin's inventory was recorded in both of those places, as well as in Fairfield. It should be emphasized, however, that John Austin of Greenwich never lived in any of those three places. 
AUSTIN, John (I74518)
 
10070 The new England Historical and Genealogical Register:

The date of his death has not been found but he was living in Stamford on 9 February 1721/2 when he, "of Stamford...formerly inhabitant & Resident in the Town of Greenwich," sold four acres in Greenwich to Samuel Peck. His wife has often been identified as Hannah Hardy, but Hannah's husband was named Jon Austin not Thomas Austin. The identity of Thomas Austin's wife is unknown.

Thomas Austin owned property and probably lived for a time in the town of Bedford, Westchester County, New York, just over the colony line from Stamford and Greenwich. He was granted land in Bedford at a Bedford town meeting on 23 April 1689 and again on 18 March 1695(/6). But he was called "of Stamford" when he sold a small parcel of land in Bedford to John Copp on 12 November 1703. He sold his remaining property in Bedford and moved back to Stamford about 1704, since in a deed dated at Stamford 1 December 1704, Thomas Austin "of Bedford" sold his three-acre homelot plus three other parcels of Bedford land and his remaining rights to future lands in Bedford to Robert Love of Stamford for an unspecified price.

He was certainly a resident of Stamford on 28 February 1716/7 whe he sold his 2/3 interest in a 5 1/2 acre parcel of land at Heckett's Hill to Isaac Weed....

10087 The New York Genealogical and biographical Record:

To distinguish him from an older David Hait in the area, this David was known as "David Hait Jr.," until 1762, when the elder died, and afterwards as "David Hait Sen". He was also known as "Captain David Hait".

In November 1759 the General Assembly of Connecticut appointed David "Hoit" to be a lieutenant of "the military company in the parish of Stanwich." In May 1773 he was appointed "Captain of the company or trainband in the society of Stanwich in the ninth regiment in this Colony." He continued in this role as the revolutionary War began. As shown below, David's sons Aaron and Frederick and his son-in-law Gideon Palmer also served in the 9th Regiment, Frederick in his father's company, but Aaron and Gideon in Captain Smith's. Captain David Hait's company of Col. Mead's 9th regiment marched to New York City 13 August 1776. David requested permission to return home to Connecticut several days after arriving in New York. He said that his wife had died, leaving his family "in Difficult Circumstances." He left his unit believing he had such permission, but was returned as a deserter.

In May 1777, a committee of the Connecticut General Assembly recommended that "David Hait Junr. of Stamford Capt: of a Military Company in sd. Town...ought to be sent for to appear before this Assembly to answer to the...Allegations against (him)." He stood before the committee 1 October 1777, and after hearing his explanation, the General Assembly ordered that Hait "pay the Cost arisen in the premises allowd. to be two pounds, one shilling & six pence cash...that Exn. issue against them...for the same."

He ma be the private David Hait on a company pay roll dated 1779 in Stamford, serving 26-27 February under Captain Reuben Scofield in Mead's 9th Regiment, and on a company pay roll, serving 18 June to 18 July (year not stated) under Captain Reuben Scofield, in the 9th regiment commanded by John Mead. There are other younger David Haits in the area, but this could be the former Captain David Hait, stripped of his rank.

On 3 May 1783 fifty-four "inhabitants of Stamford & Greenwich, within Stanwich Society, in sd State" signed a petition to the General Assembly asking for relief from taxes. they claimed they had suffered losses from "expos(ure) to the continual inroads of the Refugees station'd at Westchester." Among the signers were David Haut and his so Frederick Hait, as well as known neighbors and associates of the Haits: William White, Jacob White, John Todd, John Mackay (a witness to David's will), Jonathan Waring, and Benjamin Brush.

On 18 May 1784 David purchased a tract of confiscated land...

Sylvanus Hait, David's younger brother, was a Loyalist in the Revolutionary War and moved to New Brunswick, Canada, in 1785, where he received a land grant. the confiscation of his estate and that of another brother, James, were recorded among the probate records of Stamford.

He had served nineteen days in the 9th Connecticut Militia, Captain Charles Smith's Company, Col. John Mead's Regiment, under the command of General Wooster, and was discharged 28 November 1776. Aaron's father and brother, David and Frederick Hait, and his brother-in-law Gideon Palmer, married to Aaron's sister Mary, also served in the 9th regiment. Gideon, like Aaron, enlisted in Greenwich on the same day, and served in the same company. Other men associated with the David Hait family also served in this unit: Benjamin Brush was ensign, John Todd was drummer, and Jacob White was a fellow private. Captain Charles Smith was "of Stanwich", in Greenwich just over the town line from the Long Ridge area where the Haits resided.

An unpublished and undocumented family history written by Henry Hait's granddaughter-in-law says of Aaron only that he "was a sailor in the English navy." No contemporary evidence regarding this alleged British service has been located, though his patriotic service seems to contradict this tradition.

LOTON HORTON DIES IN FRANCE AT 72

President of Sheffield Farms Co., Touring with his wife, a victim of Pneumonia.

BORN ON A DAIRY FARM

Began His Career as Driver of a Milk Wagon in New York--Merged Four Milk Companies.

Loton Horton, President of the Sheffield Farms Company since its organization in 1902, and for more than fifty years in the business of supplying milk in new York City, died yesterday at Nice, France, according to a cablegram received by his sons last night. Mr. Horton was 72 years old. He had been visiting in Europe with Mrs. Horton and was planning to return to this country when he was stricken with pneumonia. For several years past he had been troubled with a weak heart, and it is believed that this was a contributing factor to his death.

Mr. Horton's city home was at 135 Central Park West. In addition to his widow, who was Miss Tillie Spleker of Zurich, Switzerland, whom he married in 1917, he is survived by four sons. DanielS., Ralph, Chauncey and Jerome Horton. Mr. Horton was married three times.

Mr. Horton was born on an Orange County (NY) dairy farm in April 1854. His mother died when he was three years old and his father died seven years later. young Loton Horton was bound out to an uncle by marriage, who had agreed to provide a home and educate him in return for the interest on $2500. Loton's share of his father's estate, which was in a savings bank.

The young farmer boy knew nothing of the details of this agreement. He spent his time on the farm doing the chores which seemed never-ending, and as he grew he was doing the work of a full fledged hired man. When 16 years of age young Horton became disgusted with his situation.

He had a long talk with his Uncle "Tim", a brother of his father. The upshot was that he left the farm where he had been working and went to Middletown to live, with the understanding that he was to be permitted to attend school in town.

STARTS AS MILK DRIVER

At the end of the school year young Horton came toNew York city to drive a milk rout for another uncle. The conversation which determined Mr. Horton's future did not seem particularly pregnant with possibilities at the time. His Uncle Chauncey said: "Bub, how'd you like to drive a milk wagon in the city this Summer?"

Loton would and did. Mr. Horton used to take delight in telling of his experiences as a raw, gawky country boy on a city milk route. the only was he remembered his way was to count the blocks and houses, and he said that it was several weeks before he realized that his route crossed and recrossed the same streets.

When his first month's collections were checked up it was found that he had turned in more for one month than preceding drivers had turned to for a three-months period. Young Horton retuned to Middletown for two more sessions of school and at 18 came to the city to take a permanent job on the milk wagon.

When he received his money at the age of 21 he bought a route which he used as capital for joining the partnership of the Slawson Brothers, who were also his uncles. He continued with this concern and in 1901 (?) bought out the business after the death of two of the brothers.

The following year marked the greatest forward step for Mr. Horton in the matter of handling milk. that year marked the consolidation of the Slawson Company, the T.W. Decker company, a business dating back to 1841, the Sheffield Farms Company and the Tuthill's Sheffield Farms Company. the assets of the combination were only $135,000. Today the company has more plants than it had routes in those days.

Louis B. Halsey, a lawyer, who had turned to dairying, operated the Sheffield Farm. he was years ahead of his competitors and in 1897 brought a German chemist to operate the first pasteurization machine. Halsey had developed a herd of pure Jersey cows and was constantly experimenting with better methods of handling. He devised a scheme for freezing blocks of skim milk and putting large block into each can of rich milk. Thus the milk arrived sweet and pure.

Dr. Royal S. Copeland's Tribute

It was this farm which gave the name to the vast organization which now distributes milk throughout New York City. Mr. Horton became interested in the pasteurization process and employed it for his own milk.

Although he had very little formal education Mr. Horton was recognized by his associates as a man with an extraordinary capacity for study. He knew both men and the progress of ideas. he had been at the forefront in all measures to develop better methods of handling and caring for milk for the time it left the farmer until it reached the consumers here.

Mr. Royal S. Copeland paid him high tribute at a dinner in 1922 when Mr. Horton celebrated the anniversary of his fiftieth year in the business when he said, "No man in New York City has done as much to reduce the death rate of children."

Mr. Horton had been under fire several times because of charges that he was at the head of a "milk trust" and artificially controlling prices. The Mayor's Committee conducted an investigation in 1917, and in 1919 there was a Federal, State and city investigation after an increase in prices had been announced.

Mr. Horton also had a prominent part in breaking the strike of drivers in 1921. he obtained an injunction against interference, which stripped the milkmen of the power to harass dealers, and this proved an effective weapon in winning the strike for the company.

J.N. RICHARDS DEAD
Word has been received here from Tipton, announcing the death of James N. Richards, aged eighty-two. He was the father of Mrs. Nancy Davis, wife of Thomas Davis, of Arcadia, and was born in Hamilton county in 1838. During the latter part of the 1850s, he moved to Kokomo and in 1857 was married to Almedia Pfaff. He served in the civil war and when he returned from the army he settled in Tipton county where he spent the remainder of his days. His second marriage occurred on August 10, 1865 to Mrs. Louisa Turner Jordan. He was a farmer, for a while operated several thrashing machines and at one time was also owner of a stave factory.

Although he left this county when a young man, it is possible that a few of the very oldest residents of this locality may remember him.
