Does anyone have anything that goes further back into Charles Hinckley's and Elizabeth Baxter's ancestors? I have genealogy of some Hinckleys starting with Samuel, first ancestor to arrive in U.S., but can't figure out where Charles fits in. I have nothing yet on Baxter.

Alice Martin---Damaris Bishop---John David Sutton---James L. Sutton---Sarah Sutton---John Read---Lydia Read---Benjamin Frank Martin---Walter Edward Martin---Joseph Selden Martin---William DeWayne Martin---William Bryan Martin--and me, Bryan Sipho Martin

Somewhere between Lydia Read and W.E. Martin they moved from New Jersey to Iowa.

It's quite a while since you posted your question, and I'm wondering whether you've received any replies. I have John McGown Jr and Abigail Brown in Dresden, Maine in the 1810 and 1820 censuses. They apparently had a large family there. John's sister Jane married Stephen Marson, also in Dresden. John and Jane's parents were John and Mary. Do you know anything about earlier McGowns?

She married Josiah Porter Scudder 1852 - 1933. They had 2 sons one of whom was my Grandfather Eliot Rossiter Scudder 1882 - 1954 and I know they lived all of their lives on Cape Cod.

Re: Joshua Freeman Studley

bderick37 — 2010-01-05 18:38:41Z

Joshua F. Studley was master of the tern schooner "Rebecca J. Matthews." This schooner was registy no. 110142, signal letters J.N.R.L., 589 gross tons, 560 net tons, 143.6 ft long, 32.5 ft wide, 16.1 ft depth, built 1873 in East Boston. In 1892 this vessel's home port was Boston, and the principal owner was a J. H. Conant.
Joshua Studley's gravestone in West Dennis Cemetery says that he drowned at Ponce, 8 Dec 1894. Ponce is the major city on the south coast of Puerto Rico, and the seaport is called Playa de Ponce. I do not have records of the Yarmouth Register for that year but a search of them could tell you more. Also you might try the Barnstable Patriot (on line through Sturgis Library).
I would like to know more about your descent from Joshua Studley for the Dennis Historical Society files. Please contact me directly at the address below. I can provide ancestral information on this family - I to descend from the Studleys.

Hello..

You should try the Sturgis Library in Hyannis and their newspaper section.

google Stugis library.

If you do a search on "Capt. Studley" (quotes included) you will find that he died by accidental drowning somewhere in Puerto Rico. check the entry for 1894 i think.

Let me know if this helps.. Sturgis is a great resource ..

Joshua Freeman Studley, dob 29 Oct 1842, son of Joshua Studley and Polly Small Nickerson was my great, great grandfather. Family lore has it that he was captain of a merchant ship, possibly involved in trade to the far east, and that the ship was lost at sea with all hands. I am looking for verification of this, the name of his ship and the date it was lost.

If William Fuller was born 1785 and his mother Elizabeth born 1740, she would have been 45 years old when he was born. Are you trying to say that this is not feasible? I still have no information about ANY children that may have been born to William Fuller (born 1736) and his wife Elizabeth Jenkins (born 1740). Elizabeth was the daughter of Ebenezer Jenkins and Elizabeth Tupper. I believe that William Fuller and Elizabeth Jenkins were married on March 24, 1781.

Anyone have any new information for these people?

Re: Gabriel Wheldon and spouse Margaret Diguina(?) 1620's

pjsears — 2009-12-13 17:26:33Z

It is important to point out that there is no evidence (proof) to support the author's claim that Mary Whelden, baptized 23 December 1621 in Basford, Nottinghamshire, was the wife of Richard Taylor, tailor of Yarmouth.

See:
Jan Porter and Daniel F. Stramara, Jr., "The Origin of Gabriel1 Whelden of Yarmouth and Malden, Massachusetts" (NEHGS Register, 163(2009):253-261).

This issue (lack of evidence) was never addressed by the authors in the article. The conclusion was based solely on the court documents whereby Henry and John Whelden, along with "Rich: Taylor Taylor and Rich: Taylor husbandman," contested the will of Gabriel Whelden [Middlesex Court Files Folio 11; HLS #411] (concluding that 2 Richard Taylors married 2 daughters of Gabriel Whelden).

However, the above reference to two Richard Taylors could have been a recording error. Either the name of Richard Taylor was repeated for emphasis, or Rich: Taylor husbandman was in error for Gyles Hopkins, the husband of Catharine Whelden.

There is no proof that Mary Whelden, baptized in 1621, survived infancy and was not buried along with her brothers Thomas (who had a burial record) and John (who did not).

There is no evidence to support the claim that Mary Whelden accompanied her father and siblings to New England; that she married anyone; that she was the mother of the children of Richard Taylor, tailor of Yarmouth; or that she was the woman found drowned in the wrecked boat off Duxbury in 1673. Simply put: Mary Whelden's name never appeared in the records in Dedham, Yarmouth or Malden.

I welcome the discovery of the Gabriel Whelden records found in Basford, Nottinghamshire, but cannot accept the claim that it was Mary Whelden who married Richard Taylor, tailor of Yarmouth without any supporting evidence. Unless and until that evidence is brought to light, I will remain skeptical and consider it "possible" but not proven, which should have been made clear in the article.

Best regards,
Pam Sears

NEHGR is the oldest genealogical journal in the country, published quarterly since 1847 by the country's oldest genealogical society, The New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston. If you have access to a library with a large genealogical collection they may have it.

I live in Louisville, KY.
I changed Gabriel's wife to Mary ?. Know he married a Margaret, however Margaret was not the mother of Ruth or Katherine and John and Henry.
Somewhere I picked up the last name as Weeks with a ?. I don't remember where I found that.

Re: Gabriel Wheldon and spouse Margaret Diguina(?) 1620's

jeanduerashe — 2009-12-03 17:35:31Z

That is correct. Margaret was not Ruth's mother. The only name we found for a wife for Gabriel was a Jane in Basford Nottingham.... From all evidence Jane died there. ALL of Gabriel's children were born in Nottinghamshire. NONE were born to Margaret...So that means none of the children were part Wampanog, that is if Margaret was definitely a Wampanog. There has been no real proof of that. Bearce's manuscript says Margaret was Wampanog and also mother of a few of Gabriel's children... But we proved him wrong....It would have been really neat to be descended from a Wampanog, and she was supposedly the niece of Massasoit. But, you can't argue with real proof.

Re: Gabriel Wheldon and spouse Margaret Diguina(?) 1620's

For those who have not seen it, the current issue of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 163, No. 4, October 2009) contains the article - Jan Porter and Daniel F. Stramara, Jr., "The Origin of Gabriel1 Whelden of Yarmouth and Malden, Massachusetts" - pp. 253-261.

The one posting they descend from Bearse, who wrote Bearse's Manuscript, stating that Gabriel married Indian Princess, niece of Massasoit, and that some if not all of the children born to Gabriel are descended also from this Margaret... There are tons of holes in that manuscript. Upon a research trip to Nottingham a few years ago,my cousin Jan Porter and myself found the Baptism records for all of Gabriel's children at St LeoDeGarius Parish in Basford, Nottinghamshire, England. The records are on MIcrofiche in Nottingham libraries. We took pictures of the pages we needed that pertained to Gabriel and his children from these microfiche pages. Gabriel's wife in England was Jane, who had to have died after the last child was born. We found original documents complete with wax seal and Gabriel's mark still attached at the University of Nottingham. His uncle Thomas Wheeldon left his land and Blacksmith shop and all he had to wife Christobel(Thomas's wife) and also to Gabriel. Upon Christobel's marriage to another, everythinbg went to Gabriel. His lands were in Basford. All this can be found online.. Or check my tree on here. Also an extensive article has been written and put in NEGHS book for October 2009. Article written by Dr Daniel Stramama. After cousin Jan and I found the Baptism records, and also many other document,s, Daniel Stramara was able to purchase a copy of the microfiche to clean more info from it.. The best thing you can do is contact the NEGHS in Massachusetts to get a copy if this booklet with the article. Seems the NEGHS hired some professional genealogists to go to Nottingham to see if they could dig up more info. All these years, everybody took Bearce's Manuscript as gospel for information on Gabriel family. Jan and I are not professional but some times it doen't take a rocket scientist to find buried treasure!!! You can reach me directly at::: jadaflashe51@aol.com.. Please mention Gabriel when emailing me. I have copies of the original Baptism records, not the transcribed one, have them also.. Bt the way my Wheeldon lines go from Gabriel to son John to son Joseph who married Hannah Gorham and removed to Cape May. I have pictures of headstones for Joseph Sr and Jr posted on my tree online... Nut much left to the headstones. But you can make out the age and date at the bottom of Joseph Jr's heastone to know that it is indeed his... Hope to hear from some of you.... After all, we are cousins..... Jean Duer Ashe

Re: Alice Martin Clark Bishop (1612-1648)

francie_ — 2009-11-07 00:10:42Z

Wow, actually Patsy Paugh Ramsey went to my high school in West Virginia (Parkersburg High School) but she was a few years behind me. Really nice family, regardless of all the stuff that was spread all over the gossip magazines, etc... No one who really knew them ever believed anything bad about that family.

Anyway, I'm descended from Alice Martin Clark this way:

Alice Martin Clark Bishop> Damaris Bishop Sutton> John Sutton> David Sutton> Sarah Sutton Cox> Isaac Cox, Jr.> Philip Hamilton Cox> Evan Carmack Cox> Hallie Frances Cox Shuman> Robert Lee Shuman> Mary Frances (Fran) Shuman Miller (me). I think that makes Alice my 8x great-grandmother.

Sarah Sutton Cox & her husband, Isaac Cox, Sr., were both born in Somerset County, New Jersey. They came to Hacker's Creek, in what is now the West Virginia area, shortly after their youngest child, Isaac Cox, Jr., was born on 27 Jan. 1792 in Somerset County, New Jersey. About 20 years later, some of the family moved to Greene County, Ohio. Others stayed in the (now) West Virginia area, like in Ritchie County, or moved back there from Ohio, like in Calhoun County or Gilmer County. Some of them would be the founders of Coxs Mills, WV.

Hope this helps your research!
