On Thursday last the wife of Capt.

| 24015 | The Tilton Family Among the 12 original patentees of old Monmouth is John Tilton, who arrived 1640 in Lynn Co., Mass. At this time in Lynn the most noted, influential person among the Baptists was Lady Deborah Moondie, afterwards long & favorably known among the original settlers of Long Island. The following extract from the Lynn Records dated Dec. 13th, 1642: The Lady Deborah Moodie, Mrs. King & the wife of John Tilton were presented for holding The proceedings agains them resulted in their leaving Lynn & the next year 1643, we find mentioned Lady Moodie, the Tiltons, Wm. Goulding, Samuel Spicer & others at Gravesend, LI, founding the settlement from which afterward many person to Old Monmouth. No sooner did the Quakers begin to promulgate their views, than the Dutch authorities issued severe edicts against them & all who harbored those abominable impostors, runaways & strolling people called Quakers. The following year John Tilton was fined £12 Flemish money for harboring a Quaker woman. From that time forward both Tilton & his wife seem to have strongly sympathized with the persecuted sec & soon cast their lot among them altogether, which greatly excited their of the Dutch & especially of old Governor Peter Stuyvesant. On the 5th Oct, 1662, John Tilton & Mary his wife were summoned before the Governor & his council at New Amsterdam charged with having entertained Quakers & frequenting their conventicles. They were condemned & ordered to leave the province before the 20th of November following, under pain of corporal punishment. "Goody Tilton, (Mrs. Tilton), was not so much condemned for assisting at conventicles as for having, like a sorceress, gone from door to door to lure & seduce the people, yea, even young girls, to join the Quakers." 1662 Sept 19th, John Tilton was fined, as the record says, for permitting Quakers to quake at his house at Gravesend. Many other persons were prosecuted at this time by the Dutch on similar charges. Here, being again persecuted by the Dutch, they seem to have determined to seek some place where they could worship God as they pleased. The lands in Monmouth county impressed them so favorably that the following year 1663 they made large purchase of the Indians. After the conquest of the Dutch by the English, ... John Tilton found he could remain at Long Island without molestation & leave his share in his Monmouth purchases to his children. He died at Gravesend, L.I, in 1688, his wife died a few years before in 1683. His will dated 15 of 7th month 1687 was recorded at Brooklyn , L.I. . In the quarterly court records ... "At the same court, December 14, 1642, the Lady Deborah Moodie, Mrs. King & the wife of John Tilton were presented, for holding that the baptism of infants is no ordinance of God." From these historical relations we learn the reason why the Lady Moody, her son Sir Henry Moody, Ensign Baxter, Sergeant Hubbard, John Tilton & many others of her associates & friends, left New England & planted themselves at Gravesend, where they hoped to enjoy the most perfect freedom of opinion, unawed by the civil power & be allowed unmolested to propagate those religious principles which to them seemed most agreeable to their principles of reason & justice. - - - | GOODIE PEARSALL, Mary (I793)

| 24019 | THE WANDERINGS OF JANE FERGUSON & ANDREW LAMOTT Jane FERGUSON was born around 1808 in Scotland. She married Nathaniel HAY & bore 3 female children by him; Jane, Catherine & an unnamed female, between 1825 & 1831. Sometime between 1831 - 1839, Jane became a widow. At least some of the children were born in Johnstone, Scotland. From an obituary of…….Jane HAY LANGDALE some background of the Hay family can be provided by Jane's obituary published 1st of November 1906 of the Delmont Record, which in part states: Jane HAY born in Johnstone, Scotland 27th March 1825, came to Canada with her widowed mother & two sisters in 1840. While the obituary implies that there were 3 daughters who came to Canada along with their widowed mother, Jane FERGUSON HAY, in 1840, it is believed only 2 daughters, Catherine & Jane, made the trip with their mother, landing in Quebec. Jane Fergerson, & her daus. Jane & Catherine, (& possibly the third daughter) probably spent time on this Grosse Ile quarantine Island before continuing their journey to Quebec City & then by riverboat to Montreal. By 1844 Jane Ferguson had met & married Andrew Lamott, with whom she had another child, Rebecca Lamott. The 1861 Census of Ontario states that they were living in a log house. Andrew & Jane built this log house. The Arthur Township Residents list in 1867 had Andrew LAMOTT & Jane living in Concession OSR, Lot 26, with his son-in-law, "HR" Robert MCCUTCHEON & his daughter, Rebecca. By 30th July 1870, Andrew & Jane had drifted down to Erie, Neosho, Kansas, USA & are found on the 1870 Census records living with a young family by the name of Phillips. By 4th June 1880, Andrew & Jane were living independently on Ward? Street in the City of East Saginaw, County of Saginaw, Michigan, USA. Andrew was making a living as a carpenter. 1882 February 27 -the Lamotts homesteaded 160 acres of land in NW-I, section 17-96-61, Kulm Township, Hutchinson County, South Dakota, a was the head of a family, a wife & 3 children, & declared my intentions to become a citizen of the United States. Andrew built a 20 x 24 adobe house with plastered walls on the land & drilled a well in May 1882. 1886 - he built a stone stable. By October 1888, he had 26 acres broken. 1885 Jun 1 - Andrew was now 70 years old, Jane 5 -10 years older. Residednear their daughter, Jane, her husband Charles Langsdale & grandchildren. 1888 Feb 28 - February 1888 Andrew became a naturalized American citizen. 1888 Jun 19 - Jane Ferguson Hay Lamott died & buried Delmont Cemetery, South Dakota lying in an unmarked grave. In the Langdale-Bundy plot there is an unnamed female occupant in block G, lot 10, grave 8, between Jane Langdale & Ralph Bundy, believed to be the grave of Jane Ferguson Hay Lamott. 1888 Oct 26 -b Andrew Lamott, as a widower, mortgaged his land for $440. The patent on the land was issued 9th December, 1889. 16th May 1891, Mary Langdale's diary states: We got a letter from Grandpa (Andrew Lamott). He is still well & likes the country well. He writes to father (Charles Langdale to offer his place for sale. He likes the climate & country so well he does not think he will come back."{ Likely referring to the farm located at the NW ¼ of Section 4; Township 19; Range 14; WPM near Glensmith, MB – HR's original Homestead]. Andrew sold the land 8th April 1892 for $900 plus a $440 mortgage to Homer W. JOHNSON of Douglas County, South Dakota. According to Mary Langdale's diary, shortly after Jane died, by 1891 Andrew perhaps came to Manitoba to visit his daughter & grandchildren who were living on HR's homestead quarter. Catching the land grab fever, he applied for a land grant adjacent to HR's farm - the SW ¼ of Section 4; Township 19; Range 14; WPM. By the 25th January 1898, Andrew had fulfilled his obligations to the Crown for his homestead & received his Letters Patent. 1898 Jun 7 Andrew Lamott died in Canada, &, at the age 83 years. He is buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa, MB in the McCutcheon family plot. Transcripts by P J Ahlberg. Thank you. - - - | LAMOTT, Andrew (I315)

Ref: NB Historial Society, Vol1. . 1770-1771 -Journal of Captain William Owen R.N., during his Residence On Campbell, by Wm Owen; . 1842 - The Quoddy Hermit, a small book containing 16 conversation upon religion, in the course of one he gives his autobiography. The book was displeasing to his family & was recalled & destroyed but few copies are now extant. Ref: NB Historial Society, 1897 Vice Admiral William Fitzwilliam Owen (17 September 1774 – 3 November 1857), was a British naval officer & explorer. He is best known for his exploration of the west & east African coasts, discovery of the Seaflower Channel off the coast of Sumatra & for surveying the Great Lakes. The illegitimate son of Capt. Wm. Owen he was orphaned at the age of four, however, his father's friend Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Richie, kept an eye on both William & his elder brother Edward, in 1788 at age 13 he embarked as a midshipman in Rich's ship, HMS Culloden, & from that time the Royal Navy was his life. Self-willed & boisterous, he had not infrequent difficulties early in his naval career. He served at home & on ships in the East Indies. From 1815 to 1816, he surveyed the upper Canadian Great Lakes with Lieutenant Henry Bayfield, naming an inlet in southern Georgian Bay, "Owen's Sound" in honour of his elder brother, Admiral Sir Ed. Wm. Campbell Richie Owen. Between 26 October 1815 & 31 May 1816 he was the senior Royal Navy Officer on the Great Lakes. Owen mapped the entire East African coast from the Cape to the Horn of Africa between 1821 & 1826 in the sloop Leven & in company with the brig Barracouta. When they returned in 1826, with 300 new charts, covering some 30,000 miles of coastline, over half the original crew had been killed by tropical diseases. In 1827 he was in charge of settling a colony at Ferando Po. During the first year, he was joined by Lieutenant James Holman who was famous in his time as "the Blind Traveller". In the mid-1830s, having little hope of further naval appointment, he removed with his family to New Brunswick. He secured title to Campobello Island, which had been granted to his grandfather & was lord proprietor of the same as well being involved in other investments in New Brunswick. From 1841 he served as a Justice of Peace as well as concurrently as Judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas. Between 1837 & 1842 he was a very visible member of the New Brunswick House of Assembly for Charlotte County. Following his defeat for reelection, he was appointed in December 1843 to the New Brunswick Legislative Council of which he was an active member through 1851. In the final action of his naval career, between September 1842 & December 1847, he conducted the definitive survey of the Bay of Fundy for the Admiralty. Indeed some charts of the area are still based upon his surveys Family: Vice Admiral Owen was twice married: first in January 1818 to Martha Evans with whom he had 2 daughters (see Captain John James Robinson-Owen), secondly 11 December 1852 in Saint John, New Brunswick to Amy (née Vernon) Nicholson widow of Captain Thomas L. Nicholson. Owen was promoted rear-admiral in1841 & vice-admiral in 1854. He died on 3 November 1857 at Saint Johns. Ref: Wikipedia, 2012. Transcriptions & research by PJ Ahlberg.

| 24043 | There is a whole lot of confusion over this person's name. Baptismal records list him as "Denis Elgin", while Ontario birth records list him as "Thomas Arthur". Marriage, Naturalization and census records list every possible permutation of the names. Family called him 'Elgin'. As Thomas E. Callaghan, he married. In l926,Elgin went to New York State to find work. He officially emigrated to the U.S. in 1927 (as Thomas Arthur). Elgin and Julie resided in Rochester, Munroe County, NY, then later in Buffalo, Erie County, NY. This line represents the ONLY existing male Callaghan line of descent from Denis Callaghan Sr. and Johanna Callaghan. | CALLAGHAN, Thomas Arthur Dennis (Elgin) (I2322)

| 24044 | There is also the possibility that he's the illegitimate son of Margaret Richardson. See the possibilities in the gallery. | RICHARDSON, Francis 6 (P754)

| 24045 | There is an unsourced record stating that the three children shown from this marriage may have come from Thomas' second marriage to an unknown woman.

| 24050 | There was much sickness among the people due to lack of food & shelter as it was bitter cold November weather when they were driven from their homes. George Tarbox was one who answered to the call of death in the winter of 1838, at Quincy, Adams, Illinois. Try to picture if you can, the sad plight of this young widow, only 19 years old, left with a small son to provide for as well as herself to look out for, under such unfavorable conditions. She was fortunate, indeed, when George Young asked her to marry him. They eventually rejoiced over the arrival of a little daughter Emma Amanda Young, born Feb 28, 1841, at Caloun, Jersey Co., Illinois. The mob persecutions went from bad to worse in Illinois. To show just a few of the unmerciful treatments these people had to endure, although innocent on any misdemeanor, let me quote a few lines from the book: "Essentials of Church History" p A153 "On one occasion some of the citizens of Nauvoo, Illinois, went out into the country about ll miles to harvest wheat. While engaged in their work they were surrounded by a mob who ransacked their wagons, seized their weapons, & then took them one at a time & brutally beat them with hickory goads. When they asked why they were treated in that manner, the answer was given that they had committed no offense, but they were Mormons & were gaining too much of a hold in that state." George and Jane, with the 2 children, crossed the Mississippi River, perhaps on the ice, as many did as it wasJanuary of 1846, to make a temporary camp on Sugar Creek, Iowa. The weather was extremely cold and stormy, and a great number of the people were without proper clothing and necessary shelter. Many of the wagons were without covers. Several members of the camp died from exposure and lack of proper care. The roads were almost impassable because of the constant storms. At this time there were some 400 hundred wagons on the road, including George & Jane's wagon. Somewhere along this toilsome journey over the plains of Iowa, George Young be came very ill & died in the fall of 1846. For the second time in a few years, Jane was left a widow. She was ill herself, but for the children's sake, she hung to life to do what she could for them. Ref: Parshal Terry Family History | YOUNG, George (I1264)
