10351 Timothy Mather, second son of Rev. Richard Mather and his wife Catharine Holt, was born in Liverpool in 1628 and came to Boston with his father in 1635 when he was but seven years of age. He was not educated at Harvard as all his brothers were, nor did he like them become a preacher, but for some reason he took a bent contrary to the rest of the family and gave himself up to the care of his father's large landed estate. Hence, and as if to emphasize this contrary bent, he became known as the "Mather Farmer." Apparently he was the business head of the family and kept things going while his brothers were fitting themselves to become preachers and his father was struggling with the versification of the "Bay Psalm Book". In his will his father very thoughtfully and considerately provides: - "And concerning my son Timothy, inasmuch as he hath not had so much cost bestowed upon him in his education as his brothers have had, therefore I think it meet that I should otherwise bestow upon him and his a greater portion of my outward estate," and then proceeds to give Timothy a life interest in the bulk of his real estate, remainder over to his children, and to make him also his residuary legatee. MATHER, Timothy (I101341)
 
10352 Timothy Williamson died unmarried in 1682; bur. 18 Sept. 1682. The inventory of his estate was taken 22 Sept. 1682, and showed property amounting to L51. 12s. 4d. It was presented to the Court at Plymouth by Arthur Howland of marshfield, and the following distribution was ordered: "This Court doth order the Estate of Timothy Williamson late deceased that it shall be divided between ye said Williamson brethren and sisters according to ye order of Court in that Case made and provided, That is to say ye Eldest brother of ye said Timothy Williamsone shall have a double portion of ye said estate and all ye rest of his brethren and sisters to have a single part or portion, and that the said Eldest brother shall have all the lands of the said Williams if he desier it, when he shall come of age rendring ye overplus of ye prise of ye said lands to his brethren and sisters if any should hapen toward ye making up of there parts or portions as above said." (Plymouth Colony records. wills, vol. 4, part 2, p. 4, and The Williamson and Cobb Families, p. 11 footnote.)  WILLIAMSON, Timothy (I61953)
 
10353 Timothy Williamson was a mariner, and lived in Boston during his short married life. At the request of his widow Christian (or Christiana) her husband's father was appointed by the Suffolk Probate Court, 27 Oct. 1718, administrator of his son's estate. His inventory showed that he owned a three-eights interest in the sloop "Martha", and his household effects were those of a man of substance. (Suffolk Probate Records.) His widow owned the covenant of the First Church of hartford 30 mar 1718 (records of the First Church of Hartford) and had, therefore, apparently gone to reside with her father-in-law. She m.

OBITUARY

CHAUNCEY L. RICH DEAD

Chauncey L. Rich died at his home in Richford, NY., Thursday afternoon, oct. 1, 1903, at the advanced age of 88 years. For several years he had been in feeble health, but able to be around the village, until about nine months ago, since which time he had been failing physically and mentally and for several weeks he had not left his bed. As death resulted from a general giving out from old age, his sufferings were not severe and the end came as peacefully as sleep to a babe. The Richford correspondent of the Newark Valley herald says:
"In the death of Mr. Rich, our town has lost its oldest citizen and also one whose long life has been an honor to the place. He came to this place with his parents from Newark Valley in 1821, when but six years of age, and his boyhood and youth, as well as business life and old age, have been spent in our town, which was regarded by him with deep affection. Ezekiel Rich, his father, was the hotel keeper and considered its most influential citizen. The son has well sustained the reputation of the father. Between the years of 1845 and 1872 he owned and operated a mercantile business in the building now occupied by C.G. Krum, but soon after the Southern Central railroad was laid through this valley he sold out his business and became treasurer of the railroad company and retained that position for 16 years. He has held all the important offices in town and was our postmaster for 20 years during his active business life, and again in 1893, after his physical strength began to fail and he might be termed an old man, he was reappointed postmaster and filled the position acceptably for four years. The funeral was held at the home, Sunday afternoon, Re. G.M. Hamilton officiating, and he was laid to rest in the family plot in the village cemetery. He is survived by three sons and three daughters, Chauncey D. of Auburn, George L. and Edward H. of Ft. Dodge, Iowa, Mrs. J.L. McEntee of Albany and Misses Winifred and Lucile of this place. Of his old time friends, but few survive. His brother-in-law and business partner, Mr. John Deming of Ft. Dodge, Ia., still lives, but in very feeble health".

10393 TOQUERVILLE - Chester "Chep" Adams, age 87, passed away Monday, November 27, 2006. He was born August 19, 1919, in Kanab, Utah, to William Fredric and Annie Alvey Adams.

Chester grew up on the family's cattle and horse ranch in Johnson Canyon, Kanab, and became a true cowboy at a young age. He graduated from Kanab High School and later attended Dixie College, where he met Elizabeth. After a short courtship, they were married on May 12, 1940, in Kanab, the marriage later being solemnized in the St. George Temple.

They moved to Toquerville in the fall of 1940, where Chester became Toquerville's "own protector." In the years to follow, he served the town as its Postmaster, emergency relay ham operator, City Councilman, Mayor, City Manager, and Justice of the Peace (1970-1980). Chester retired from city employment at the age of 85, but was always busy with his interests. He was a woodworker, making jewelry boxes, loved raising animals of all kinds including horses, sheep, and chickens. He also enjoyed working with and repairing small appliances and electronics.

"Chep" was a hard worker, even though he had been confined to a wheelchair since 1952. He taught his children the value of work, was a good provider, plain spoken, perfectionist, determined, strong and had wonderful, polite manners - a real gentleman! He loved his children deeply and was always there for them, and was considered a "great" grandpa!
He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, of Toquerville, UT; daughters Darlene (Wes) Cannon, and Hopi (Barry) Hunt, all of Toquerville; grandchildren, Elizabeth Christensen, Lund, NV, Lara Christensen, Hurricane, UT, Lacey Cannon, Toquerville, UT; great-grandchildren, Colton, Carly, Sarah, Wyatt, Garett, Macey, and Chelsey. His parents preceded him in death, as well as a daughter, Helen Smith, grandson, Lance Cannon, sisters and brothers, Alvey Adams, Lima Adams, Verda Steins and Anita Hughes.

Funeral services will be held Friday, December 1, 2006, 11:00 a.m., at the Toquerville LDS Chapel. Visitations will be Thursday, November 30, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Hurricane Valley Mortuary, 140 N. Main St., Hurricane, UT, and again on Friday, December 1, 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Toquerville Chapel, prior to services. Interment will take place at the Toquerville Cemetery.

Arrangements are made under the direction of Spilsbury Mortuary, (435) 673-2454. Friends and family are invited to offer their condolences at www.spilsburymortuary.com

Clifford Sprague of Paso Robles was the bridegroom's attendant and ushers were James Dean of Long Beach and Phil Tepper.

A reception followed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. McNeil of 1744 Andreo ave.

Mrs. McNeil received her guests dressed in an R. A. F. blue ensemble with silver trim, complemented with fantasia corsage. At the buffet table, at which a four-tiered wedding cake was cut, Mrs. Clifford Sprague of Paso Robles, sister of the bride, and Mrs. P. S. Taylor, of Long Beach, poured.

Mr. and Mrs. Dean left for a honeymoon at Yosemite and upon their return they will make their home here. Mrs. Dean has been employed as accountant at Mayfair Creamery for a number of years and her husband is coordinating supervisor at Douglas, El Segundo.

10395 Town cow-keeper in 1648, soldier in King Philip's War, juror in 1655, and freeman May 21, 1657. In 1654 Samuel received a gift of land from his father. John Winthrop, in his Medical journal, records that Samuel was married and age 26 in 1658. Moved to Hatfield, opposite Hadley, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts in 1661. BELDEN, Samuel (I04975)

10397 Tradition has brought the first settler of the name in America from the town of Wales, in England, but no authentic record of the fact is know to exist. In 1854 an effort was made to ascertain the origin of the Tisdales in England, and for this purpose the aid of H.A. Somerby, an American gentleman long resident in Great Britain and a through-going antiquarian, was invoked. He found in Ripon, Yorkshire, a record of the baptism of John, son of Thomas and ruth Tisdale, November 7, 1614, and this John is thought to be progenitor of the American name.

The precise date of John Tisdale's immigration to the Old Colony is not known, nor in what ship he arrived; but it is supposed to have been in 1636 or 1637. he first settled in Duxbury, or Marshfield, where he had a grant of ten acres at Green harbor path; he also owned land at Hound's ditch and Namasakeeset, the sale of which to William Brett, in 1657, is duly noted in the colonial records. He was one of the twenty-six original purchasers of Freetown, and received the twenty-third lot, upon which a part of Assonet Village is located, and also possessed considerable land in Taunton.

In 1643 Plymouth, Duxbury and Marshfield combined in the organization of a military company, and John Tisdale's name appears in a "list of those able to beer arms in New Plymouth," under "Duxborrow, 1643."

In 1645 he was elected constable of Duxbury and held the office for several years. In Emery's "History of Taunton" we read that "the office of constable was one of great responsibility and honor in colonial times as representing the civil government and being the chief exponent of law. the most respectable and trustworthy persons were chosen to fill this office."

About 1650 John Tisdale removed to Taunton. Here he held some public office: May 11, 156, he was one of a coroner's jury of twelve men on a case reported in the old colonial records; a selectman in 1650(?) and 1658; constable in 1655-1659; Representative to Plymouth General Court in 1674-1675; and seems to have been a person of no little importance in the community.

His home in Taunton was on the east side of Great River, some three and a half miles from "the Green," bordering upon what is now the northern boundary of the town of Berkeley, and overlooked Mount Hope, the home of King Philip. He incurred the the displeasure of the Indians by his hearty espousal of every course of the English to keep them in subjection. As early as 1671, four years before the "Great War," his house was a rendezvous for the English troops and was thus in constant peril, and when the war came, in 1675, his property was destroyed and himself murdered. This is substantiated by the old colonial records: "John Tisdale was killed by Indians June 27, 167."

John Tisdale married Sarah Walker, who came from London in the barque 'Elizabeth'. She was the daughter of "Widow Walker," of Rehoboth. She was seventeen years of age when she reached American in 1635, and died in 1676. 		TISDALE, John (I7348)
 
10398 Tradition says she wept and prayed, fearing to do wrong in marrying her cousin, but her heart triumphed over her scruples. They resided in North Coventry, Conn. "During the Revolution - time, probably winter of camp at alley Forge - General Washington came to Hartford to confer with Governor Jonathan Trumball on the state of the army, they being in great straits - destiute of food and ammunition. the members of the Assembly went home on Saturday, for the Assembly was in session at the time, to collect supplies among their constituents. Ebenezer, who was a member of the Assembly, caused the lead weights to be taken from his old clock and run into bullets substituting bags of sand for the same. Joseph, his son, was sent to collect flour, and himself and sister worked during the entire Sabbath, and night following, to 'prepare bullets and biscuits' for the Continental soldiers. On Monday morning Deacon Kingsbury, .. these things were immediately sent to the headquarters of the army and distributed to the needy soldiers. Other members, did the same, thus furnishing to the army a supply of food and ammunition at a critical period of our history".

"At one time after the Revolution, when age and infirmities began to come on to Deacon Kingsbury, he remarked to Captain Nath Root, when Captain Root was drilling the militia. 'the time was. The time has been. But the day is over." He died September 6, 1800, "having by the will of God, served his generation faithfully." She died June 30, 1805. 		KINGSBURY, Deacon Ebenezer (I33923)
