Notes

"Abraham, no doubt, grew up working on his father's farm lands. Abraham's father, Rev. Valentine, the successful Groton Baptist preacher, purchased a large tract of land in what was then Norwich from John Stark (Abraham's eventual father-in-law) on July 2, 1722. In his will, he bequeathed this land to his sons Abraham and Daniel. Abraham received this land on November 6, 1744, and probably began farming it soon afterward. Prior to that time, he was farming land he purchased from his brother Daniel, presumably also in Norwich. In 1786, the southwestern portion of Norwich, which included the Wightman property, was incorporated into the new community of Bozrah, CT."

daughter of John Stark (b 1694 CT) who married Martha Walworth Nov 10, 1715; Susannah Stark may have been born in nearby Norwich, rather than Groton. Her birth year is also a point of some debate, with some sources claiming a birth year of ca. 1709. However, this same source also places her death date as "after 1761" and according to Mary Ross Whitman's research, Susannah was still living at the time of her husband's death

Johan Conrad and Elizabeth Franz,  arrived in Galveston from Nassau, Germany via the ship Deluis in 1845. They lived in the German settlement on the Matagorda Peninsula.

Johan Conrad and Elizabeth Franz, arrived in Galveston from Nassau, Germany via the ship Deluis in 1845. They lived in the German settlement on the Matagorda Peninsula.

Born some place in Georgia. She first married Jeffrey Beck III. They had seven children. He died in 1822 and she then married Surry Eaton and they had five children. He was wealthy and had slaves. They lost their land to the goverment and had to leave about 1838. They moved to what is now Deleware Co., OK then it was called the Goingsnake District. She is on the Drennen roll of 1851 with her Eaton Children. She is probably buried in the Beck Hildebrand Mill cemetery with her second husband in an unmarked grave. The mill belonged to her son-in-law Stephen Hildebrand who had married Mary "Polly" Beck about 1850 the daughter of Her first husband. Her father is Ezekiel Buffington and her mother was Mary Emory. I belong to the Western Cherokee Nation on this line and the Nancy Ward line. I have her connected to the correct father.

John Amory Sr came from England with his wife Sarah & some children. Some say John Jr, William & Robert belonged to another woman who died & was buried in England. Some say Isaac & Sarah belonged to Sarah therefore were half-sibs to John Jr, William & Robert.

Some say there wasn't many women in South Carolina in those days. So I'm not sure about John Jr but when William & Robert met Ludovic Grant they married his mixed blood Cherokee daughters

wife of John Randall "Rufus" Sanders

J.R. Sanders and his family were among the earliest settlers of Jack County. In 1826, John Radall Sanders married Phoebe Eaton. After living in Tennessee and Arkansas, they came to texas in 1847 settling in Navarro County until 1855, when they moved to northwest Texas. The area they located in 1856 would become Jack County.

Children born to this marriage were:

Elijah, 1827-1918
Jonathan, 1831-1915
Benjamin F., 1832-1896
William, 1833-1862, killed in Civil War
Charity E., 1841-1927
Phillip, 1843-1920
Catherine, 1845-1910
Richard

There were three more children, but their names are unknown.

It is not known when Mr. Sanders died. Phoebe is buried on the lot with her daughter, Catherine Hensley and her family.

William Amory/Emory came from England with his father & step-mother. I believe his brothers John Jr & Robert were full brothers whereas his sibs Isaac & Sarah were 1/2 sibs. 

It's reported that John Jr died in Georgia & William & Robert brought him home for burial. I believe they buried him before meeting Ludovic Grant & marrying his mixed blood Cherokee daughters.

REBECCA A. REED'S FUNERAL TUESDAY

The funeral of Mrs. Rebecca A Reed was held in the Christian Church yesterday morning. Music was furnished by a male quartet composed of Z.H. Held, Chester Held, Wm. Meairs and Ray Lessig. The pall bearers were her six oldest grandsons, Clement, Raymond, Oren, Glenn and Stanley Reed and Ralph Shobe.Prayer was offered by the regular minister and the sermon was given by W.H. Nation who was her minister for three years, the last she had been able to attend church.Rebecca A. Hawley was born March 31, 1849 and died in Burlington, Kansas, April 16, 1916, aged 67 years and 15 days.On July 24, 1867 she was untited in marrige with Austin Reed; to this union were born eight children, all of whom are living. They are; Mrs. John Shobe, Strawn, Kans; E.M. Reed, Mrs. George Alexander, Myron, Mrs. V.L. Sanders, all of Burlington. Guy C. Reed of Edinburg, Texas; Mrs. W.L. Bivin of Chicago, Illinois, and Mrs. N.B. Mahuron of Bucklin, Kansas. She leaves twenty-three grandchildren and is also survived by five brothers and two sisters.In 1879, she with her husband and four children moved to Kansas and settled on a farm in this county, northeast of Burlington, where she made her home until 1908 when the family moved to Burlington. Her husband departed this life on November 14th of the same year. In early girlhood she became a Christian and united with the Christian Church of which she was a devoted member the remainder of her life. Death was the result of a cancerous growth from which she has suffered for several months yet during the intense suffering of the past five or six weeks she showed the greatest patience, constantly appreciative of every kindness shown her. Her constant prayer was "Thy will be done." She left this message to her grandchildren: "Serve your Master every day you can." Although expressing sorrow that she must leave her family she said she was ready to go and rejoiced that she had been privileged to see them all develop into men and women, and that they with one exception were permitted to be with her to cheer her in her last illness. Her great joy was that every one of her children and all of the grandchildren of sufficient age had united with the church she loved."Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Because of her love for her family, her loyalty to the church and her interest in its every department of work, rather than to say she will be missed, her friends say she will be remembered. This is witnessed in the large number of friends gathered and the beautiful floral offerings.Interment was made in the Graceland Cemetery beside the body of her husband.
