| 901 | Excerpts from "A Charleston Album" by Margaret H Harrison: Colonel William Alson, called by Washington Irving "that greatest of all Southern Planters", whoes estates of Clifton was likened to Fairlyand by George Washington, was born in 1756. The revolution broke out when he was a very young man. Taking service as a Captain under the "Swamp Fox", Francis Marion, he saw years of high adventure in guerrilla warfare." He was a personal friend of Washington and also of Jefferson. SAR Patriot #: P-103086 Additional References: SAR Patriot Index Edition III (CD: PP2210, Progeny Publ, 2002) plus data to 2004 ________________________ From WikiTree Colonel William “King Billy” Alston was one of the richest men in South Carolina. In 1777, when he was about 21 years old, Col. William Alston married Mary Ashe (d.1789). In 1791, Col. William Alston married, secondly, Mary Brewton Motte. At the time of the 1820 Census, William, Sr. and sons William A. Jr. and Charles were all enumerated as living at North Island, Waccamaw, Georgetown, South Carolina. Together, the three owned a total of 731 Slaves and 1 "Free Other." This census makes it difficult to sort out the family members, since several of the children, grandchild, and in-laws appear to be all enumerated in William Sr's household and Charles has no enumerated Free White members at all.[4] William Alston is buried in the Oaks Cemetery, in Murrells Inlet, Georgetown County, South Carolina. A portrait of William is on his Find A Grave memorial. | Alston, Senator William Algernon (I46070)

| 902 | Excerpts from Margaret Haynes' "Items of Family HIstory" written 1902; "Miles tried to presuade against rebellion against the Crown. To him, the quarrel betwen the American Colonies and the Crown had always seemed merely a fight for Magna Charta in the New World. In 1774 he had written to Josiah Quincy that "if Boston would only persevere and be prudent, her sisters and neighbors would work out her salvation, without taking the musket". After Congress adjourned and George Washington became commander-in-chief of the American Army; the battle of Bunker Hill had been fought. Miles Brewton and WIlliam Drayton, as members of the Committee of Public Safety, were able to secure five thousand pounds of powder in Savannah, which they forwarded to the rebels in Boston. Inspired by word that Indians in the northern part of the state were being incited by the British to murder the Colonials and rumours that Charles Town slaves had been bribed to kill their masters, Miles felt he must leave his beloved Charles Town and found passage, along with his wife and children, bound for Philadelphia. The ship they were on apparently perished in a great storm of Cape Hatteras and they were never heard from again. In his will, he left everything to his sister Rebecca Brewton." "Miles house is described as; had trellises hung in heavy "cloth of gold" roses. There were other roses, some deep red, some white than the masters favorite snowdrops which he had brought from London at the time he had contracted for the cargo of bricks for his great Georgian House. The house was built by Exra Wright, "Civil Architect, Housebuilder, and London carver" who planned and constructed this King Street residence that had a special appeal to Charles Town's people." And well built it must have been, being amoung the very few houses which witstood the earthquake in Charleston, Sept. 1886. It was selected in 1781 as headquarters by Lord Rawdon, then in command of British Forces. At this time the house was occupied by Mrs. Motte, wife of Jacob Motte, whose father had been treasurer of the Carolinas under British rule, 1776. At the time referred to above Mrs. Motte was a confirmed invalid and died shortly after. Miles Brewton has this epitaph carved on his tomb in St. Philip's: A faithful patriot, He builded better than he knew. | Brewton, Colonel Miles Sr. (I44850)

| 905 | Following Bartrum, Boyer shows Efa as the daughter of Gwrgan ab Ithel abId wallon ap Morgan Mawr, the King of Morgannwg who died in 974. While Boyer identifies two wives of Gwrgan, he notes that it is unknown which wife was the parent of specific children of Gwrgan. Thus Efa's mother is not known. Assume that king was aged 60 at death, born, say, 915; his son born 945 , grandson born 975, great-grandson born 1005, and Efa born 1035. Since Gwrgan was a king of Gwent, assume Efa was born within the Kingdom of Gwent. | ferch Gwrgan, Efa (I9662)

| 907 | From (cousin) Eva Evans manuscript re: BJB ggg grandmother, Sophia Phillips Saunders McCullough and gg grandmother, Isabelle Saunders Byrd. (Winfield Saunders changed the spelling of name to Sanders in adulthood) Grannie, (Isabelle Saunders Byrd) my mother's mother, lived next door to us on some land Dad (Chris Evans) had given her out of our block. Grannie was a Tennessee Mountain woman, and had had a very hard life. She had only been to school for three months, but she could read and write and spell better than any of us, because until she was a middle -aged woman she only had three books; a Bible, a dictionary, and a "Dr. King's Doctor Book'. This had belonged to her mother, and had pictures of herbs in it. This great-grandmother McCullough was a remarkable woman. She was six feet tall, could ride and shoot, and was not afraid of anybody or anything. She came to California in 1852, with my grandparents and their two children, crossing the plains with a covered wagon caravan, and though they were not attacked by the Indians, they had several narrow escapes. "Once they came upon a butchered train, the ruins of the wagons still smoking, and the mutilated bodies not yet cold. They washed them and gave them a Christian burial, expecting to be attacked any moment. They went to the mines in Amador County, and during the seven years they lived there, Grannie cooked in a fireplace, in cabins with dirt floors, and had three more children . . . There wasn't a doctor in the country, so Great-grandmother McCullough got out her 'Dr. King's' and started looking for herbs and making medicine. She knew how to set broken bones, so in a little while she was going miles to care for the sick. The Tule River Indians were on a rampage at this time; but she had some saddlebags, so she would put her medicine on one side and her gun on the other, and away she would go. What cared she for Indians!" It could be that the legacy provided by the example of her mother and grandmother led to Sophia Josephine Byrd's (McClelland) interest in medicine which she pursued as a young woman, becoming the first or one of the first degreed women physicians in California. Sophia's birthplace is stated as Ireland on several of children's death certificates, but in census, Sophie is always listed as born in Tennessee. Perhaps her parents or grandparents were from Ireland, or less likely, she indeed was born in Ireland, but grew up in TN. | Phillips, Sophia Josephine (I8410)

| 908 | From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Smith-2069 Samuel lived at Northampton, MA 1666-1680, then moved to Hadley, MA to care for his widowed mother. Included in the letter referring to his father was the following reference to his stepfather, John Russell: "He was sometimes a little short of ye Charity which thinketh no Evil, at te least I was wont to think so when his Hand was too heavy on my Shoulder & I remembered ye sweetnesse & ye Charity of my firste Father, but on ye whole said he was a Goode Man & did well by my Mother & her children & no doubt we did often try his wit & temper." | Smith, Deacon Samuel (I9436)
|
| 909 | From Margaret H. Harrison's "A Charleston Album": Margaretta and her brothers and her one sister were born at the country estate "Clermont" near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Their city home "Green Hill" lay beyond the then limits of Philadelphia. Her father centered all his hopes on young Margaretta who was far more accomplished than most women of the time. Private tutors had given her a thorough grounding not only in English literature, but in European and American history as well as in French and in Latin. As her father had frequent visitors from Paris, Margaretta had been taught to speak excellent French, and she presided over her father's dinner parties with grace and wit. | Stiles, Margaretta Love (I8876)
|
| 910 | From Margaret H. Harrison's "A Charleston Album": "Two presidents had known him intimately.

|
| 912 | From North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000. The Campbells of Kishacoquillas: Robert Campbell of Scotland. This is the most remote ancestor of the Robert Campbell family of whom anything is known.

| 914 | Genealogy given by Bronwen Summers Ms (WikiTree [[Summers-2224|Bronwen Summers Ms]] Parkhurst is about 9 miles from Guildford. It was from this wooded park, so named, that the family took its name. By the early 1500's Parkhursts were living in Shere, Guildford, Shalford and nearby. All were closely related, the same given names being repeatedly used. | Parkhurst, John (I46280)

| 915 | George Aldrich was a freeman and member of the Church of Dorchester, Massachusetts by 7 December 1636. He was a tailor by trade. In Dorchester he had a one-acre houselot. He removed to Braintree in 1640 where he was granted a 20-acre parcel of land in Mt. Wollaston (which became Braintree). On 9 June 1663, George Aldridge, tailor, and Katherine his wife sold their land in Braintree to Richard Thayer for 30 pounds sterling and removed to Mendon, where he was one of the first six settlers.

| 916 | George Neville was the son of Edward Neville, 3rd Baron Bergavenny and Elizabeth Beauchamp. He was knighted by Edward IV on 9 May 1471, after fighting for the king, who was his cousin, at the Battle of Tewkesbury. | Neville, 2nd Baron Bergavenny George I (I20935)
|
| 917 | George Parkhurst was born in Ipswich in England and all of his children by Phebe were baptized there. Sometime before 1642, he emigrated to New England, settling in Watertown, Massachusetts. It is not clear if Phebe accompanied him or whether she died in England. In any case, George married a Susanna Simpson in New England and had five more sons with her. In 1655, he petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to sell a piece of land in his wife's estate in order that he might return to England to aid his wife who had already returned with their five youngest children. He claimed that his wife and children were destitute and that his age was 67 years at that time. He probably left for England soon after 1655 and was buried at St. Lawrence church in Ipswich, England, June 18, 1675. He may have been the "Old George Parkhurst" who was buried on 18 June 1675 at the Church of Saint Lawrence, Ipswich. All his older children remained in New England. | Parkhurst, George (I3838)

| 921 | Guy served in WWII in the Pacific as a Gunners Mate aboard USS LCS(L)(3) - 81. Once Guy had enough points to return home, he returned to California, spent some reserve time, and finally got out of the Navy in 1947 after serving for 3 years. Guy married Betty on Feb. 14, 1948 and they began his construction career in Kingman, Arizona helping to build dams on the Colorado River for California's massive water projects. Guy quickly realized that he needed to have more of an education to make advances in his chosen profession and they returned to Visalia, Ca., where Guy completed his studies in Civil Engineering at College of the Sequoias in Visalia. Guy’s career with California Dept. of Transportation began in Feb. 1951 and retired in 1990. Many of those years were as the Resident Engineer for highway and bridge projects throughout San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Benito and Santa Barbara Counties. Guy died in Marysville, California during retirement when he rushed to the aid of a neighbor whos' house had caught fire. It was thought that one of the children was still inside the house and Guy had a heart attack while rushing to bring a water hose to the house. | Buckman, Guy V (I2)
|
| 922 | Guy V. Buckman, proprietor of a restaurant and soft drink establishment in Visalia, California, and captain of Company M, One Hundred and Eighty-fourth Infantry, California National Guard, is a native of Visalia, born June 11, 1895, a son of E.J. and Ada (Van Loan) Buckman. His paternal grandparents were among the early settlers of Tulare county, where his father was born, educated, and for some time followed the profession of school teacher. He is now the deputy county superintendent of schools. Guy V. Buckman was educated in the Visalia public schools, and after completing the course in the high school he enlisted in the United States army for service on the Mexican border. He remained in the United States infantry service during the late World War, with the rank of second lieutenant, but his command was not called on to serve in Europe. After being discharged from military service be was employed for about eighteen months in the city of San Francisco. He then returned to Visalia and for the next year he worked on a ranch. He was then with the California Packing Company for about six months, when he established his present business at 110 East Main Street. When Company M was organized, he took an active part in its formation and was commissioned captain. His experience on the Mexican border and in training camps during the World War gave him excellent qualifications as a company commander and his skill in this respect is reflected in the efficiency of his company. He is a graduate of the Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia, class of 1925, having specialized in machine gun and machine gun tactics. Captain Buckman is a member of the American Legion and of Visalia lodge No. 1298, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and takes a keen interest in National Guard work. Politically he is affliated with the democratic party but is much more interested in the success of his restaurant and in military affairs than he is in politics. He is married to Miss Elsie Byrd, a native of Tulare county, and they have one daughter, Clara Anna, and on son, William Enoch. | Buckman, Guy Vincent (I43)

After the death of his parents, Richard and Margaret migrated with their children to New England, arriving in New Haven in 1640. He took the oath of allegiance at New Haven Colony in 5 Aug. 1644 Richard was among the earliest proprietors of Branford, New Haven in the 17th century, or "Totoket " as it was still called for some years, who were named in town records from 7 July 1646 (dividing up the meadows) and 16 September 1646 (constructing a 5-mile fence around the core part of the town). Totoket was part of the land bought from the Mattabesech Indians in 1638 by the first settlers of New Haven. | Harrison, Richard II (I2658)
|
| 924 | He was a cooper by trade, a farmer, an extensive land-owner for that period, and a part owner of mills in Phillipstown (now Sanford), York and a part of Berwick later set off as North Berwick. The records show that during his life he bought and sold many tracts in York, Wells, and Phillipstown. He was interested in public affairs of Wells and served that town as a constable, surveyor of highways and selectman. In 1736 he was appointed a member of a committee to finish the first meeting house in Wells. He was a large man physically and was called "Much Big" Perkins by the Indians of whom he had no fear. | Perkins, Jacob III (I9141)
|
| 925 | He was author of Virginia Impartially Examined..., published in 1649, in London. According to some, he makes no claims to have first-hand knowledge of Virginia, and there is advice given before Section I begins. "Before you cast your eye upon the Worke it self, look stedfastly upon the Author (and as thou likest him give him credit) whilst he tells thee that he was never in this Place himself."[4] This statement was perhaps meant to be ironic. While William was born and lived in England, his father, Hugh Bullock, had spent considerable time in Virginia in York (and Warwick) County and deeded William: My estate in Virginia amount to (L)100 per annum left me there 10 years past to my son William and his son Robert. [2][3] Nevertheless, William's will reveals that, at the time of its writing, he was bound for Virginia in the partes beyond the seas.[3] Note also that Thompson (2004) states that of Hugh's Warwick estate, in excess of 5,000 acres, that William administered and attempted to expand the Warwick estate even before his father's death.[1] One researcher (Ray, 1945, p. 278-9) outlines a few occasions when William was in Virginia:[5] 25 Jan 1624 he was living at Mulberry Island in Warwick County, having arrived on the Jonathan (citing Notten) 10 Oct 1634 at which time he was a witness (citing Virginia Colonial Court, p. 24) Arrival at Charles City County in 1638 (citing Greer's Immigrants: note that Greer, George Cabell. Early Virginia immigrants, 1623-1666 lists a William Bullock, Arrival: 1638, Sponsor: William Cloys, County: Charles River) | Bullock, William (I34205)
|
| 926 | He was born about 1571 in Surrey County, England. He died about 1620 in Surrey County, England. [2] | Cade, Robert (I46303)
|
| 927 | He was born before 1620 in Surrey, England and his parents were Elizabeth Johnson and Robert Cade By 1647 he had moved to Virginia. He died about 1685 in New Kent County, Virginia. | Cade, Robert Sr. (I25817)
|
| 928 | He was made a freeman of the colony on May 2, 1732; signed a petition against lotteries on January 16th, 1733.

At Glocester he was president of the Town Council for about 40 years; town clerk for 60 years, having this position from June of 1737 until the day of his death. | Steere, Richard Jr. (I268)
|
| 929 | He was the 7th son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, and Joan Beaufort, daughter of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford. In 1436 he married Elizabeth de Beauchamp (died 18 June 1448), daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Worcester, and the former Isabel le Despenser, who later succeeded as de jure 3rd Baroness Bergavenny. The title Baron Bergavenny was created several times in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of Great Britain, all but the first being baronies created by error. Abergavenny is a market town in South East Wales with a castle established by the Norman lord Hamelin de Balun c. 1087. | Neville, 3rd Baron Bergavenny Edward (I19828)
|
| 930 | Hildegard van Vlaanderen (born 936/937 - died. 975/980), by marriage she became countess (gravin) van Holland. Daughter of Arnulf I, graaf van Vlaanderen (885/890-965) and Adela van Vermandois (910/915-960). Hildegard van Vlaanderen married in 948 or 949 Dirk II, graaf van Hollanden West - Friesland (936/941-988). Diederik II died in 988. He was buried in the new abbey church of Egmond, in the grave in which Hildegard was buried eight years earlier. Their gospel book remained in the abbey for six centuries, then swirled around, and resurrected in Utrecht in 1805. Thanks to King Willem I, it has been in the Royal Library since 1830 | Flandre, Hildegaert (I9838)
|
| 931 | His family arrived in Placerville, Ca. 1856, when Benjamin Campbell was 7 years old. He first married Mary Malvina Smith (b1852 d1887) and had four children. Upon her death, Benjamin married Mary's sister, Esmerelda Eramantha Smith (b1857 d1895) and they had one son, Donald Lorenzo Campbell. | Campbell, Benjamin Franklin (I60)
|
| 932 | Howe's Bigelow Family in America states that Samuel Bigelow "was an important man in Watertown", an innholder from 1707 to 1716, and represented the General Court from 1708 to 1710. Bond's History adds that he was also a carpenter, and in 1686 received from his father a gift in-deed for 16 acres and a house. Thumbing through the third volume of Watertown town records, which covers the period from 1680 to 1727, we find Samuel's name appearing frequently. | Bigelow, Samuel (I9431)
|
| 933 | Ignatius Buckman was the first person buried in what later became Holy Mary Cemetery, and his sister Susanna Buckman Hayden shortly thereafter. | Buckman, Ignatius (I29636)

| 937 | In the parish registers of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire: 15 Nov 1624: Georgius Paughter et Martha Hoare. They baptized children at the same parish. Jacobus Pougher fill Georgii 17 Aug 1625 Mathias Poughter filius Georgii 25 Feb 1626/7 Rachell Pougher filia Georgij 12 Sep 1630 He migrated to New England about 1639 and settled in Braintree, Massachusetts. He was accompanied by his wife and three children; this is indicated by the fact that the land grant he received in Braintree was for five heads. According to Charles Nutt George Puffer, the first of the family in this country and the pioneer ancestor, lived but a few years after coming to New England, and we know very little about him. He was one of the residents of Boston to whom land was granted at Mount Wollaston, which was afterwards the town of Braintree, now the city of Quincy. The record shows that he was granted twenty acres and that there were five in his family, indicating that he had three children, February 24, 1639. His homestead was located about two miles east of the railroad station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad (formerly the Old Colony Railroad) at Quincy. It is the site of the present Fore River shipyards. In the early records the name is often spelled Poffer. | Puffer, George (I5080)
|
| 938 | In the year 1867, July 3rd, William Alston Hayne with his wife and seven sons (the first born died an infant in Charleston) arrived at San Francisco, per steamer "Sacramento". There they were met by Dr. Arthur P. Hayne, settled some years previously in San Francisco with his two children. After a few months' residence at Oakland, Ca., Col. Hayne fixed upon Santa Barbara, "El Montecito", as his future home. At the time of his death, he was buried on an open common- his, the first grave. It was through the exertions of his father that the enclosure was made a public burying ground - the company incorporated by Legislature of 1875, of which body Col. Hayne was a member. | Hayne, Colonel William Alston Sr. (I40)
|
| 939 | Isaac Hicks, like his father, was a prominent man in public affairs. He was judge of Queens county, Long Island, for the years 1730-1738, and a member of the colonial assembly of New York from that county, 1716 to1739. | Hicks, Judge Isaac (I8990)
|
| 940 | Isaac was married, in Watertown, 29 Decembeer 1709 to Mary BOND, daughter of Thomas Bond and Sarah Woolson. They soon moved to Colchester, CT; land records show that he bought land there 23 March 1712, and was admitted as an inhabitant 05 January 1717. He held various offices in Colchester: tax collector 1724; way warden 1725, 1732, 1733, 1734, 1737, 1740, 1742, 1745, 1751; howard 1726; grand juryman 1732, 1737; surveyor 1751; lister 1751. He was a member of the local militia and in 1744 was commissioned a sergeant by the governor of the province. Colchester First church records show Isaac Bigelow & wife were admitted prior to 1733 (early records of Mr. Bulkeley's pastorale are lost.). | Bigelow, Isaac (I9374)
|
| 941 | It is believed that Elizabeth and her 11 children and their families and slaves (Elizabeth freed them) left TN to plant cotton in the TN Valley area of the Mississippi Territory, which would become Alabama in 1819. | Buster, Elizabeth Woods (I8818)
|
| 942 | James was baptized in Earl Shilton on 17 August 1625, recorded as "Jacobus Pougher fill[ius] Georgii." It is probable that he immigrated with his parents to New England, landing probably in Boston for it was on February 24, 1640 that his father was granted twenty acres of land at Mount Wollaston, afterwards called Braintree. He succeeded to his father's homestead in Braintree and lived there to the end of his life. His farm was at Ship Cove, now called Quincy Neck, and he also owned land in what is now the town of Randolph. Though he followed farming, he is also described as a boatman. He was elected constable in place of John Bass, Mch., 1679-1680. | Puffer, James E. (I238)

| 949 | John Biglo seems to have arrived in Watertown, MA about 1632. He probably came with an older relative, Elizabeth Bigelow, second wife of Deacon Richard Butler, who after a short stay in Massachusetts, followed the Rev. Thomas Hooker to Connecticicut. It is assumed that Elizabeth was an older sister or first cousin. No ship's-records exist showing the date of their arrival. It is probable that John Biglow and/or Mary Warren came over on one of the ships of the Winthrop Fleet. It is also probable that they would have had to do so by budgeting solely based up on their own personal budget. John Biglo took part in the Pequot War of 1636, serving from Watertown. The next public mention we find of him is his marriage in Watertown on 30 October 1642-- the first marriage recorded in Watertown --before Mr. Nowell, to Mary Warren, daughter of John and Margaret Warren. Ella Biglow's book, Reminiscences of Historic Marlborouqh, MA, contains a fictional description of John at his wedding, in white satin breeches, ruffled shirt, and silver shoe buckles. There is also a doc-u-drama book called The Winthrop Woman, that is very well researched. On page 250, there is related a cannon-ball pitching contest between Will Hallet and "his o pp o n e n t -- Bigelow, the blacksmith ." The contest was held in the Common of "little Boston", on Election Day in the mid to late 1630's. To quote from Howe's book, "from the list of those who took the oath of fidelity at Watertown 1652, we find that John Biggalough was one of the number, and he became a freeman 18 April 1690 which we find from the roll of freeman written as John Bigolo; under the same date we find that Samuel Begaloo was made a freeman, and by another list, date 16 May 1690, we find Samuel Biggilo and John Warren jr. were made freemen. On the return of soldiers who were in the service from 25 November to 3 December 1675 [King Philip's War] we find the names of John Bigulah Sr, Michael Flegg, and Isaac Leonard, the last being wounded. Thus we find the name variously spelled by different officials, but when we find the name written by any member of the family, in those early days it is written Biglo, Bigelo, or Bigelow." John Biglo appears by various accounts to have been a blacksmith, and again from town records we quote: "Agreed with John Biglo that for ten trees the towne allowed him for the setting up of a shop for a Smithes forge, that he shall either go on with his promise of setting up his trade, which is the trade of a Smith, within one twelfmonth after the date hereof or else to pay unto the towne ten shillings for these ten trees he acknowledged to have off the towne." Dated 4 March 1651. John Biglo was chosen a surveyor of highways in 1652 and 1660, a constable [Tax-collector] in 1663, and one of the selectmen or town council, in 1665, 1670, and 1671. | Bigelow, John (I9340)

| 950 | John Boynton was amoung the first generation id Boynton's to come to North America, settling in 1639 in what would be Rowley, Essex county, Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1637, John Boynton along with his older brother William and William's wife Elizabeth Jackson Boynton joined the expedition which was fitted out under the auspices of Sir Matthew Boynton and others who had made extensive preparations for a settlement in New England. Sir Matthew Boynton remained behind and joined fortunes with Oliver Cromwell. In December 1638, these brothers emigrated from Hull, East Riding, Yorkshire, England on the ship "John of London" to Salem then Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. John and his brother William were each assigned an acre and a half house lot next to each other on Bradford Street, Rowley. John also was a "tailor" by trade. | Boynton, John Sr. (I23752)
