9551 She was made guardian of the minor children of Joseph Morgan, deceased, oct. 5, 1773. She was a matron of the Revolution. On old lists still preserved (American monthly Magazine, 27:784) is to be found her name as contributing to the soldiers in the field the fruit of her own handiwork in frocks and stockings. AVERY, Prudence (I03075)
 
9552 She was mentioned in her father's will of 1 Jan 1672/3 (but not in her husband). She immigrated in 1639 to Boston (returned to England with her father in 1646). PELHAM, Katherine (I100595)
 
9553 She was niece of Clement Chaplin of Wethersfield, Conn., or of Sarah (Hinds) his wife. (Conn. Hist. Coll., vol. 14; Hartford Lands Dist., 1639, p. 577) HINDS, Elizabeth (I83097)
 
9554 She was of royal and noble descent from Louis IV d'Outremer (over the seas), known as "the Simple," King of the Franks from 936-954. EVERARD, Judith (I79838)
 
9555 She was one of three daughters and a brother Henry. Isabella's father was a diplomat and politician. Queen Elizabeth I appointed Thomas Edmonds in 1592 as her agent in France in the affairs of the king of Navarre and the Protestants, in which he continued until 1596, when the queen appointed him her secretary of the French tongue. James I knighted him in 1603. Sir Thomas was a Member of Parliament on several occasions. EDMUNDS, Isabella (I100569)
 
9556 She was possibly the granddaughter of Henry VIII, as purported in an article by noted genealogist Anthony Hoskins. He offers a compelling case (accepted by many genealogists) that Catherine Carey was the daughter of Henry VIII by Mary Boleyn, his mistress during the birth of her two (Carey) children before he married her sister, Anne Boleyn. KNOLLYS, Lady Anne (I72927)
 
9557 She was the daughter of Joseph Warren Harrison and Nancy Jane Harrison. She married Thomas Orion Taylor on Oct 2, 1895 in Arvonia, Osage Co, Kansas.

9558 She was the daughter of Josse, who was known also as Jose, which he signed on his will of 16 May 1638, proved 22 Dec. 1638, by executors Richard Davey and John Harris. Josse was sometimes referred to (incorrectly) as "Jesse" or "Joseph". He "was rector (at Sutton) from 1628 till 1636, when he tendered his resignation, with the design, it is said, of immigrating to New England. Having provided a his own expense a fount of type, and procured funds in England and Holland for a printing establishment, he made an agreement, 7 June 1638, with Stephen Daye to superintend it, and took passage on board the "John of London", with his family, together with Daye, and three persons to work at the printing, besides others, among whom are said to have been Ezekiel Rogers and the emigrants who settled at Rowley." His wife and children "took up their residence at Cambridge, where, in March 1638-9, according to Winthrop, "A printing house was begun (by) Daye, at the charge of Mr. Glover, who died on sea hitherward,' - or as Bradford states, 'when he was prepared for the viage, he fell sick of a feaver and dyed,'- and the first printing-press on the continent, if we except one at Mexico, and another at Lima, in South America, was put in operation." Glover's printing press, which passed to his widow and estate, was kept at the home of Harvard President Dunster, and later at the resident of Harvard President Chauncy.

9559 She was the daughter of Major Joseph Crowshaw, who was an attorney. Joseph was a burgess in 1677, justice in 1659, sheriff in 1656 and a member of the Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg. CROSHAW, Unity (I90211)
 
9560 She was the daughter of Robert Holt and Mildred Stanfield, originally of Halifax county, Virginia. On 24 August 1806 Elizabeth married Timothy Meigs at Fort Southwest Point, a federal frontier outpost at what is now Kingston, TN. He was the son of Grace Starr Meigs & Return Jonathan Meigs who held the first appointment as Cherokee Agent and Agent of the War Department for Tennessee.

Elizabeth & Timothy lived in the home of the agent in present day Rhea county. When Grace Starr Meigs died on 10 Oct 1807, Elizabeth Holt Meigs became the hostess for the Agency. By this time her husband was acting as his father's clerk. By 1811 he had entered management of the factory that was the officially recognized supplier of goods to the indians and military personnel in the area. Shortly before he died he took a partner, John Ross, who later became the principal Chief of the Cherokees.

Elizabeth was unique in her involvement in a large, complex movement, one that receives little note as its outcome was utterly shameful. Her husband died 16 October 1815 following a brief illness. She & her 5 children continued to live with Return Meigs until his death. As an older woman, she lived with her daughter, Elizabeth Jane Hawk.

9561 She was the daughter of William Woodward, who appeared as a headright in four early patens for land in Virginia. William Woodward may have gained his reputation, as an Indian interpreter, through some business association with Abraham Wood, Thomas Stegge and/or William Byrd, all of whom were merchants who traded with the Indians. he patented 3,000 acres of land in New Kent County, of which 2,100 acres were purchased on 27 Sep 1664 from Cocka Coeske, Queen of the Pamunkey Indian tribe. WOODWARD, Martha (I100619)
 
9562 She was the first wife of Reverend Samuel Seabury (1706-1764) and she was the mother of Bishop Samuel Seabury (1729-1796).

Her dates of birth and death come from the "Mayflower Families through Five Generations" publication (family of John Alden) by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Several considerations lead to the conclusion that she was buried underneath St. James Episcopal Church in New London. (1) According to the "Memoir of Bishop Seabury"(1908), in the early history of the Parish the custom prevailed of burying the dead beneath the Church.(2) Her funeral took place in New London. Her funeral on May 10, 1731 is mentioned in the "Diary of Joshua Hempstead of New London Connecticut" and (3) Her husband was the rector of the Episcopal Church at the time of her death.

9570 Sheriffs of the County

The first Sheriff of Pocahontas county was Oscar Slosson, who was elected March 15, 1859. On Jan. 1, 1860, Henry Jarvis succeeded him and being re-elected in 1861, 1864 (for one year - an unexpired term) and in 1865, filled that office seven years, 1860 to 163, and 1865 to 1867. For the term commencing Jan. 1, 1864, he was not a candidate, and Abiel Stickney, who had been elected, having resigned the office March 21, 1864, Edward Hammond, by appointment of the board of supervisors on that date, performed the duties of that office until the end of that year.
It is of interest to note that Abiel Stickney was the one candidate in this county who was elected by the soldier vote. At the general election of Oct. 13, 1863, the home vote for the candidates for sheriff was as follows: John A. James, 16 votes; Abiel Stickney, 14, and John A. James was declared elected by a majority of two votes. But one month later when the four soldier votes were canvassed and all of them were in favor of Stickney, they gave him a majority of two votes and he was then declared elected.
On Jan. 1, 1868, Oscar Slosson became the successor of Henry Jarvis, and being re-elected in 1869, served four years, 868 to 1871. At the general election held in the fall of 1867, the contest for sheriff became a very spirited one and each of the candidates, Oscar Slosson and George Spragg, received 50 of the 100 votes polled in the county at that election. On drawing cuts the tie was decided in favor of Oscar Slosson.

Pioneer Period, 1855 to 1869 - Other important events

At their meeting held Jan. 2, 1865, the board agreed yo pay a bounty of $900 to each volunteer who would enter the army or navy of the United States, and the later records show hat Dennis Quigley and Thos. Quigley were recipients of this special bounty. This volunteer 'bounty' fund was raised by an assessment of four mills on the dollar during the year of 1865. A soldiers' 'relief' fund of two mills on the dollar had been raised for the benefit of those who had enlisted at the beginning of the war, namely:
A.H. Malcom
Oscar Slosson
Chas. W. Jarvis
W.S. Fegles
Henry Cooper
Henry Tilley
Hiram Evans
John Gayler
Andrew Mills

'For those true men who fought to lift
Our country's banner high in air,
Wreaths of lilies we weave and bring
Roses and star-eyed pansies fair.'

During the war, Pocahontas county furnished eleven men, which was one-third of the able-bodies residents of the county at the time. This was her full quota and there was no need of a resort to a draft.

Four of those named above, namely A.H. Malcolm, Henry Cooper, Hiram Evans and Oscar Slosson enlisted at the same time - Sept 2, 1861, at Fort Dodge - and became members of Co. A, 11th Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Capt. Franklin A. Stratton, of Fort Dodge. This company went by stage to Cedar Falls, the nearest railroad station, and in due season arrived at Dubuque where they were mustered in, September 21st, following.

9577 Shirley Mae Woolheater Bouton
HALCOTT CENTER _ Shirley Mae Woolheater Bouton, died peacefully on Friday, Jan. 28, 2011, at her home surrounded by her family.
On or about Sept. 11, 1922, a baby girl was found on the roof of an apartment building on the Upper West Side of New York City. The baby was taken to Bellevue Hospital, given the name 'Susan' and put up for adoption through The Sophia Fund, a NYC Adoption Agency. At the same time, Wilbur and Mary Woolheater of Delaware County were grieving the loss of their infant daughter, Madeline, who had only lived 12 hours. Wilbur journeyed to New York City in hopes of finding a baby to adopt. It was there that he was presented with the baby girl who had been found on the rooftop.
On Sept. 22, 1922, 'Susan' became Shirley Mae and she was brought home by train from New York City to Fleischmanns.
Shirley attended Clovesville School through eighth grade. She attended Roxbury High School and graduated at age 15.
Through the years, Shirley had several jobs that all involved hard work including milking cows, doing laundry, being a waitress, hanging wallpaper, and working at boarding houses.
During World War II, Shirley worked at Maye's Mill in Fleischmanns. It was the first time the mill hired women.
On May 17, 1940, Shirley came to Halcott Center, where she met Donald Bouton. They were married on May 17, 1945.
Halcott Center would be the Bouton's permanent home where they had a dairy farm for 14 years and raised Herefords for 12 years after that. Shirley worked for the Town of Halcott serving as school director for one term, Deputy Town Clerk for 20 years and Town Supervisor for 9 ? years. While she was Supervisor, Shirley was responsible for pioneering several community programs one of which included transportation for seniors. Prior to that program she helped by taking her neighbors to their doctor appointments in the family's 49' Chevy. She persuaded the Meals-on-Wheels folks to service the Valley. Although they would only come as far as the Greene Co. Line, she would meet the meals at the county line and get them delivered. Shirley was a member of the Halcott United Methodist Church, and the Halcott Ladies Aid. Shirley was a member of the Greene Valley Grange #881, and was at one time, lecturer for Pamona Grange. She served as Grange Chaplain, and as an annual delegate to the NYS Grange where she was instrumental in forging a grass roots effort to map-out fire numbers for the homes long before it caught on. She was also a member of the National Grange. Although Shirley was active in community service, she refused to
'play politics'. Shirley was endorsed by both Democrats and Republicans and always registered as an Independent.
Shirley was predeceased by her parents, Wilbur and Mary Rose Woolheater, a sister Madeline, and a brother Robert.
Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Donald W. Bouton; a son Dennis and his wife Jennifer Bouton of Halcott Center; a daughter Mary (Bouton) Konstantine and her husband Philip of Oneonta,; Grandchildren: Jamie (Bouton) Volger and her husband Mark of Margaretville, Lucas and Marshall Bouton of Halcott Center, and Jenna Mae and Sophia Rose Konstantine of Oneonta; several nieces and nephews and many, many friends.
Shirley was an excellent seamstress, making clothes for several members. She also knitted many sweaters and mittens. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. Shirley loved the color red, Cardinals and Black-Eyed Susans. During her later years in life, she found much joy in watching the birds, appreciating the changing colors of the seasons and marveling at beautiful sunsets.
Shirley had a strong faith that was her comfort and strength throughout her life, which included years of cancer. She spent much of her time praying for others. Never fearing death, she often said that when the Lord was ready, she was ready. She will be remembered for her keen sense of humor, being an excellent listener and her refusal to hold a grudge.
Although Shirley loved flowers, she was saddened when she saw flowers 'left over' after a funeral. The family suggests memorial contributions may be made to the Halcott Methodist Church, the American Cancer Society, or plant a Black-eyed Susan in her memory, enjoy it, and remember Shirley, an inspiring woman who was thankful for every day.
The Service to Celebrate the Life of Shirley Will be held on Tuesday at 11 am at the Halcott Methodist Church, with Peg VanSiclen as celebrant. Spring interment will be in the Halcott Cemetery. Friends will be received on Monday from 2-4 and 7-9pm at the E.B.Gormley Funeral Home 87 Main St. Phoenicia.

9582 Sibyl de Neufmarché, Countess of Hereford, suo jure Lady of Brecknock (c. 1100 ? after 1143), was a Cambro-Norman noblewoman, heiress to one of the most substantial fiefs in the Welsh Marches. The great-granddaughter of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, king of Wales, Sibyl was also connected to the nobility of England and Normandy. Sibyl inherited the titles and lands of her father, Bernard de Neufmarché, Lord of Brecon, after her mother, Nest ferch Osbern, had declared her brother Mahel to have been illegitimate. Most of these estates passed to Sibyl's husband, Miles de Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford, as her dowry. Their marriage had been arranged personally by King Henry I of England in the spring of 1121. Sibyl, with her extensive lands, was central to the King's plans of consolidating Anglo-Norman power in south-east Wales by the merging of her estates with those of Miles, his loyal subject on whom he relied to implement Crown policy.
As an adult, Sibyl lived through King Stephen's turbulent reign, known to history as the Anarchy, in which her husband played a pivotal role. Following Miles' accidental death in 1143, Sibyl entered a religious life at Llanthony Secunda Priory, Gloucestershire, England, which she had endowed up to six years previously. Sibyl is buried at the priory, founded by Miles in 1136.

9586 Silas and his wife were admitted to the Church at Wilton, Conn., 16 April 1738 (Wilton records 1737). HICKOK, Silas (I77619)
 
9587 Silas Danes Horton was a farmer, upright, honest, and a man of more than ordinary mental capacity. He was a deacon of the Old School Baptist Church at the time of his death, and for many years before. He wrote frequently on religious subjects, and many of his articles appeared in the "Signs of the times," a religious paper edited and published by the Rev. G. Beebee, of Middletown, NY.

Dea. Horton was one of the pillars of the church, greatly esteemed by his fellow-citizens, and his death, which occurred 21 Sept. 1850, was deeply lamented. 
HORTON, Silas Danes (I29666)
 
9588 Silas made his home at the old Gates homestead, where he followed farming and spent his life. During the revolutionary war he did his part in the ranks of the patriots, it being recorded in the records of the Massachusetts soldiers and sailors in the Revolution that Silas Gates was among the men belonging to the alarm list of Captain Benjamin Monroe's Sixth Company, Fourth Middlesex County Regiment, indorsed a few years before the close of that great struggle. GATES, Silas (I24430)
 
9589 Silas, though young, like his father, was truly patriotic, and signed the Pledge of Independence for the Colonies in 1775. HORTON, Silas Jr. (I75802)
 
9590 Silvanus served in the French and Indian War and evidently did not return. SLASON, Silvanus (I50249)
 
9591 Simeon Avery served in Capt. Joseph Morgan's company that marched to the relief of Fort William Henry, Aug. 1757. He moved to Orford, N.H., where he was a deacon of the congregational church and an innkeeper for many years. He kept the first ferry across the Connecticut River there. AVERY, Simeon (I03084)
 
9592 Simeon Edgerton was a Captain in the Connecticut troops in the revolution, and was with his command at new London, Connecticut, at the tie of the capture and destruction of that place, and Fort Griswold on the other side of the harbor, by the British. The records of Pawlet show that he purchased land there November 11, 1779, nearly two years before his removal to that place. The price named was 500 pounds, and as that was a large sum of money for those times it indicates that he was a man of means.

In his Vermont home Simeon proved a valuable addition to that pioneer community, and he was, most literally, one of the "Town Fathers," for when he died at the age of 77 he had 95 descendants and when his widow died at the age of nearly 84 their living descendants numbered 209.

He served his town as a member of the legislature and was entrusted with many responsible offices.  
EDGERTON, Simeon (I20524)
 
9593 Simeon Franklin Griffin died at his home in this city Thursday eveneing, January 3, 1907, aged 70 years, 1 month and 12 days. His death was due to a complication of ailments and the ill-health of which his last illness was the culminat5ion was traceable to his service in the civil war. He had been since the pioneer times a resident of Richland township, living in the very southeast corner of that township; and it was only last October that he gave up the management of his farm and moved into Nevada, where he bought and occupied the McGloflin cottage west of the court house.
Mr. Griffin was born in Gilbert, Otsego county, New York, November 21, 1836, removed with a brother to Ohio when he was thirteen years of age, and lived at Wooster in that state until he was twenty, when he removed to Indiana. He remained in the last named state only two years, and then came to Story county, arriving here some time in the latter '50's. He enlisted in Company D of the 31st Iowa and served for seven months when he was discharged on account of sickness, from which as before noted he never quite recovered. He was married at LaPorte in Black Hawk county April 16, 1863 to Miss Charity Terry, sho survives him. They came at once to Colo and located upon his farm north west of that place where they continued to reside until last October. Besides his widow he leaves seven shildren, two sons and five daughters, to wit: Jasper on the old fram, Adelbert in Nevada, Mrs. Ada Brunson in Nebraska, Mrs. Ella Hines and Mrs. Mary Elmore of Nevada, Mrs. Alta Hanson of McCallsburg, Mrs. Elva Towne of Runnells.
Mr. Griffin was the last survivor of the charter members of the Grand Army post at Colo. He was faithful member of the Baptist church, and usually attended services in Nevada. He was a man of kindliest disposition, a good neighbor and a most worthy citizen. He will be regreted by all who knew him.
The funeral will be conducted from the Baptist church in Nevada Saturday afternoon at two o'clock by Rev. W. I. Fowle of Ames.

DE MONTFORT, Simon (I17036)
 
9595 Simon was the father of Roger Wolcott, who was a Major-General and second in command at siege and capture of Louisburg in 1745, and from 1750 to 1754, Governor of Connecticut. Roger's son, Erastus, served as General in the Revolution, was Judge of the Superior Court and member of congress from Connecticut. His daughter Ursula m. Matthew Griswold of Lyme, Governor of Connecticut from 1784 to 1786, and father of Gov. Roger Griswold. His son Oliver was member of congress from 1775 to 1778 and from 1781 to 1788; in 1777, 1779 and 1780, he served as a Brigadier-General in the army; Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Connecticut; he was the father of the late Governor Oliver Wolcott. Alexander, another son of Roger was a famous physician. A list of many other distinguished relatives of his daughter Ursula is given in the N.E. reg., 33, p. 223. WOLCOTT, Simon (I82731)
 
9596 Simon Wolcott was but five years old when his father emigrated to America. He remained in England with his two sisters until the family had effected a settlement in this country; they came over within ten years after, but the exact time of their arrival we have not been able to ascertain. He was admitted a freeman in 1654. WOLCOTT, Simon (I82731)
 
9597 Simon Yorke is not identified as a son of Edmund York,e but as there was only one Yorke family in Hardingstone, he almost certainly was a son. Simon was bur. Hardingstone 24 July 1594. He may have been born before Nathaniel or after Martha, but the lack of paternal identification in his burial record perhaps indicates that he was no longer a child and thus would have been born earlier rather than later. YORKE, Simon (I63106)
 
9598 Since Alfred had three older brothers, no one ever expected him to become king, and he was educated for a career in the church.

Slowly, the likely succession to the throne began to change. Aethelbald, Alfred's oldest brother, became king when Aethelwulf abdicated in 855 but then died in 860. Aethelbert, the next brother, was crowned immediately but then died in the late 865 or early 866. Aethelred, Alfred's last older brother, ruled next but was badly wounded in the battle of Meredune and died on 23 April 871.

In 868 Alfred had married St. Ealhswith of Mercia. They would eventually have five children and a very happy marriage, but it would first be necessary for him to save not only his family but also his country.

Wessex seemed doomed when Alfred became king. By the spring of 871, Danish Vikings had already burned half of its towns to ashes. The other half were the las unconquered part of the last Anglo-Saxon kingdom still holding out against the Vikings. By fighting one battle a month from the spring until the end of the year, Alfred brought the Danish invasion to a standstill. As part of a negotiated truce, he then paid the Danes to leave Wessex alone for the next five years.

In retreating, the Danes simply withdrew across the borders of Wessex into the neighboring British kingdoms that they had already conquered. The question was not whether they would return to Wessex but when. During the five-year truce, Alfred devoted himself to strengthening his defenses and building up his army.

A Danish army returned to Wessex in the spring of 876, and for the next two years Alfred was in several battles. The war did not end until the battle of Ethandune in 878. Alfred's triumph there was so complete that it ended the war. Alfred and the men of Wessex had won.

Apart from a brief skirmish with the Danes in 885, Wessex was at peace for the next fifteen years. During this time, Alfred showed that he was much more than a very capable war leader. He gathered scholars at his court and turned it into a center of learning. He personally translated several works from Latin into Old English, including the first 50 Psalms, the 'Consolation of Philosophy' by Boethius, the 'Ecclesiastical History of the English People' by Bede, 'Pastoral Care' by Gregory the Great, the 'Soliloquies' of St. Augustine, and the 'World History' of Orosius. Alfred was determined that all sons of freemen would learn to read and write. His scriptoria produced manuscripts for use in education, and public schools were started.

Alfred was generous to the church and anxious to rule his people justly. He took the law codes of earlier rulers such as Offa of Mercia and Ine of Wessex and used them to create a new legal system for his kingdom. He founded two new monasteries at Athelny and Shaftesbury and also rebuilt other religious communities that had been destroyed during the wars with the Vikings. Alfred himself attended mass daily and was a deeply pious man.

As he did all these things, Alfred never forgot about the Danes. During the long peace that began in 878, Wessex ceased to be a plunderland for Vikings and became a formidable military power thanks to the efforts of Alfred He built a network of twenty five fortified boroughs that covered the whole country. He refortified London. He started a system of troop rotations, where half of his army would be armed and ready at all times while the other half would be dispersed. For designing ships to half a seaborne invasion, Alfred has been called the father of the British navy.

Seen at the end of his reign as the 'Leader of the Christians,' the 'Saviour of the Saxons,' and the model of a Christian ruler, Alfred died on 26 October 899 and was buried in Winchester, which was his capital.

9599 Since Job Hyde and his wife both died when their children were young, the two grandfathers, Samuel Hyde and John Fuller, cared for the children.
