| 105653 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Daughter of Samuel & Martha (Valentine) Seaman, 4th child. Sister of Phebe who married her husband's brother. Mentioned in her father's will (NY Hist Soc, "Abs Wills", vol 10, 1780-82, p 100-01, orig liber, p 226): "Know all men by these Presents, that I, SAMUEL SEAMAN, of Oysterbay Township in Queens County, on Nassau Island, this sixteenth day of ye Second month, 1780, do make this present writing to contain my last will. My just debts to be fully paid and all necessary charges that may happen. I leave to my daughters, Rachel Hicks, Martha Titus, Abigail Willets, Phe Hicks, Meriam Robens, and Ester Sands, each ¶100 and all my household goods, in equal shares. Unto my grandchildren, viz.: Samuel Seaman, Samuel Robens, and Samuel Hicks, my grandsons; and Martha Hicks, Martha Willets, Martha Seaman, Martha Titus, and Elizabeth Seaman, all my granddaughters, ¶10 each, to be preserved in my executors' hands for their use, and paid as each shall come of age. Having taken into consideration that I am now in possession of divers black-people, do hereby by virtue of these presents give them all, both male and female, their freedom and fully discharge all them from me and my heirs forever at my decease, feeling an entire freedom so to do in my mind. The residue of my estate, real and personal, unto my three sons, Willet, Obediah, and Samuel Seaman. But having deliberately considered the legacy given to my son Obediah, I have thought it proper for his benefit and advantage to impower my executors to take his equal portion of lands and goods into their care and possession, and carefully to let my son have the privilege and benefit of all his portion during his life. In case they have any of my Estate in their hands at my son's decease, then his wife, Phebe Seaman, should have the use of one-third of the Estate left by him, and the other two-thirds to go to his children in the following manner: Unto his sons, two-thirds; and to his daughters, one-third, as they respectively come of age. Further observe, the legacy given to my son Obediah Seaman's wife is to be understood given to her during her widowhood, and no longer. Her portion to go to Obediah's children as their portions be directed. I make my brother-in-law, John Williams, Samuel Way, and my kinsman, Henry Post, executors.

| 105659 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Note that Joseph is not mentioned in the will of his supposed father, Jacob Hicks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a question with regard to two possible sons, Joseph.

Something is confused here but I don't have the information necessary to clarify it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IGI has two entries on the location of the 2nd marraige - one saying Rockaway, Queens Co, and one saying Clinton, Oneida Co, which is an error - Clinton is in Dutchess Co. 1790 Census - NY, Dutchess, Clinton -- Joseph 2-0-2 suggesting that most of his children have long since left home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a will for Joseph (DC Wills B:371) recorded 4 22 1803.

| 105662 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Something is confused. The same birthdate is given for Samuel Hicks, son of Samuel, who married Mary Middagh. Not sure if two different Samuel's and birth date erroneously applied to one or if possibly only one with confused parentage??. Conflict between info in Doughty article and Cornell Gen. See attached notes to Sam & Mary Middagh pair, son of Sam & Mary Doughty. There is also a Sam Hicks, Jane Smith marriage 9 7 1762 Flushing in IGI which may well belong here.

| 105663 | [JhnHicks..FTW] The best source on Herodias is published in "Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, from Rhode Island Periodicals", Vol 1, Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1983, p 599-605, entitled "Herodias (Long) Hicks-Gardiner-Porter. A Tale of Old Newport," by G. Andrews Moriarty. A copy of John's NY divorce decree is included in this article. For a shorter summary by the same author, see NEHGR, Vol 105, p 258 (Oct 1951) - G. Andrew Moriarty "Some Notes on 18th Cent. Block Island" Herodias's Divorce decree, obtained in Rhode Island, is published in NYGBR, Vol 70, issue 2, p 116 by Josephine Frost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following summary was "copy & pasted" from Thayer & Burton Ancestery, (Thayer, Htfd,CT, 1894),p 48. It is a little more positive toward Herodias than other accounts, and does not mention her common-law divorce from George Gardiner and subsequent mariage to John Porter, whose wife promptly sued for desertion. The sources mentioned above give amore complete and accurate picture of her life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HERODIAS (LONG) HICKS, wife of George Gardiner, of Newport, R. I., and one of the noted sufferers from the religious persecutions of the Boston church, had a somewhat eventful life before coming under the lash of the Massachusetts executioner. This story can be best told in her own words. In 1665, upon her complaint, her husband, George Gardiner, was before the Rhode Island Assembly. She then testified that when her father died in England, she was sent to London, where she was married, unknown to her friends, to one John Hicks, privately, in the under church of Paul's, called St. Faith's church. She was then 13 or 14 years of age. She came to New England soon after with her husband, and lived at Weymouth, Mass., two years and a half, removing to Rhode Island about 1640. A difference between her and her husband arose soon after, resulting in his going away to the Dutch and taking with him most of her estate, which had been sent her by her mother. After this desertion by John Hicks, she became the wife of George Gardiner, and by him had many children. Testimony was given as to this second marriage by Robert Stanton, who said that "one night, at his house, both of them did say, before him and his wife, that they did take one the other as man and wife." Having lived with her last husband eighteen or twenty years, she now desired of the Assembly that "the estate and labor he had of mine, he may allow it me and the house upon my land I may enjoy without molestation, and that he may allow me my child to bring up, with maintenance for her, and that he be restrained from troubling me more." After this second separation, she married a third husband. In 1658, while she was still the wife of George Gardiner, she went, with her babe at her breast, "a very sore journey, and, according to man, hardly accomplishable, through a wilderness of above sixty miles," from Newport to Weymouth, to deliver her religious testimony. She was promptly carried to Boston, before Governor John Endicott, who sentenced her to be whipped with ten lashes. Mary Stanton, who came with her to bear her child, also received the same punishment. After the whipping with the three-fold knotted whip of cords, she was continued for fourteen days longer in prison. The narrator concludes: "After the savage, inhuman and bloody execution upon her, of your cruelty, aforesaid, kneeled down and prayed the Lord to forgive you." The date and place of her death can not be given. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So maybe she realy was a devout Quaker as she claimed, but she surely was a feisty and determined survivor, with a great ability to find men to support her!!!! This paragraph for the Thayer book refers only to her side of the early years. John's version is quite different!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | LONG, Herodias (I31981)

| 105664 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Will of John Hicks, of Flushing in Queens Co, Island of Nassau, Province of New York, dated Nov 12, 1727 and probated April 28, 1730: (NY County Surrogate Records, Vol 10 , pp 224-226, p 211-212 of old Liber?) To my well-beloved wife Elinor Hicks all my moveable Estate Goods and Chattels and debts, dues, duties and demands whatsoever belonging to me * * * To my well-beloved wife Elinor Hicks my now dwelling house and all my lands and meadows for her use until my youngest son Thomas Hicks arrives to ye full age of twenty and one, for and towards the education and bringing up of my children, but no longer. Unto my four sons, Robert Hicks, Ellis Hicks, William Hicks, and Thomas Hicks, all my dwelling house, lands and meadows to immediately be sold after my son Thomas Hicks reaches age twenty one, and (the proceeds) divided into four equal parts between my sons, share and share, alike. Appointed as executors; my well-beloved wife, Elinor Hicks, my loving brother -in-law Thomas Ellison, and my well-beloved brother Isaac Hicks,* and my well-loved friends John Tallman and Benjamin Thorne. Witnesses: Samuel Stringham, William Van Wyck; Humphrey. *(in orig Abstract, listed as John Hicks, corrected later to the correct Isaac Hicks as in this original) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is supposition that some or all of these sons of John & Elinor moved to North Carolina. While there is nothing in this will to prove that, the conversion fo the estate to cash would be consistent with the concept that at least some of the sons have moved away and none is interested in retaining the land. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | HICKS, John* (I33253)
|
| 105665 | [JhnHicks..FTW] All of John's descendants bearing the surname Hicks are descended from the cildren of the Thomas Hicks. The Seaman Genealogy (p 84) says Thomas was born Weymouth, MA in 1640, d in 1740. However given his father's travels, Newport, RI seems a more likely birth location. All accounts seem to agree that he lived 100 years! Thomas became a gentleman of much importance, a judge, and active in the affairs of the area. There are many original source references to him. Note also that he was a slaveholder, which was not uncommon at that time even in New York and other Northern areas. Several members of the first few generations of this Hicks line had slaves, whom they eventually freed. There is a substantial listing of Hicks Black Americans in Long Island Records, many of whom are no doubt descendants of these early slaves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NY Historical Society, Abstracts of Wills, Vol 3, p 352 -In the name of God, Amen. I, THOMAS HICKS, of Flushing, in Queens County, Gent., being in good health. I leave to my grand son, Thomas Hicks, the eldest son and heir of my son Thomas Hicks, deceased, the sum of 5 shillings. I leave to my son Isaac "my Great History Book which is called Speeds Chronicle of England." I leave to my son Benjamin, my silver Tankard. I leave to my son Stephen, all my houses, lands, and meadows, in the bounds of Flushing or Queens County, except my right on the Great Plain in Hempstead; Also a bed and furniture and the remainder of my books, and two Hatchells, and my wearing apparell. I leave to my 6 sons, John, Joseph, Isaac, Benjamin, William, and Stephen, all my right on the Great Plain in Hempstead. To my daughter, Phebe Simmons, ¶100. To my daughter Charity, L250. To my daughter, Mary Bushlar, L100. I leave to my grand daughter, Mary Hicks, daughter of my son William Hicks, my silver tumbler. All the rest of my personal property to my 4 daughters, Phebe, Elizabeth, Charity, and Mary, and to my grand daughter, Sarah Everitt. My Indian and negro slaves, and my live stock, are to remain for my son Stephen. My sons Benjamin and Stephen are to be serviceable to my daughter Charity in her affairs. I make my son Stephen executor. Dated May 15, 1727. Witnesses, Cornelius Van Wyck, John Washburn, T. Whitehead. Proved, January 28, 174 1/2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is interesting to note, he does not mention his son Jacob who was the only son by his first wife still alive. One is tempted to wonder if his second marriage caused an alienation between the two, or if there were religious differences as Jacob and his line are all Quakers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 Oct 1684 a license was granted to Thomas Willet, Elias Doughty, Thomas Hicks, and Richard and John Cornwall (Cornell) to purchase of the Indian properties of unoccupied land on the east side of Cow Neck, Long Island. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 20 Oct 1685; Elias Doughty, Thomas Hicks, and others, commissioned as Justices of the Peace of Queens County. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Documentary History of the State of New York, Vol I, p661: "An exact list of all ye inhabitants names within ye towne of fflushing and p'cincts--of old and young, freemen and servants, white and black, etc.,-- Justice Thomas Huckes (Hicks) and Mrs. Mary his wife; sons Isaac, Benjamin, Charles, William, Stephen, Charet, daughter Mary, nine persons besides six servants. Sarah Doughty, sons Benjamin, William, Sarah, four besides servants. Francis Doughty and Mary his wife, sons Elias, Palmer, Francis, Obadiah, Sarah, Charity, Mary, eight besides servants. Charles Doughty and Elizabeth his wife, children, John, Charles, Sarah, Elizabeth, six besides servants --Five hundred and thirty (530) inhabitants altogether." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | HICKS, Justice Thomas [2] (I30253)

|
| 105667 | [JhnHicks..FTW] From History of Long Island, 3rd ed, p 470 - "Thomas was the eldest son and on the decease of his father in 1712 inherited the Bayside estate. In 1738 he was appointed Judge, and in 1749 first judge of Queens County, which latter office he held until his decease in 1777. He was, moreover, a member of assembly from 1738 - 1775. By Margaret, daughter of his uncle Isaac Hicks, whom he married in 1724, he had two sons and four daughters." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | HICKS, Thomas * 6 rub III, Judge (I33288)
|
| 105668 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Hannah was probably born in Weymouth, MA (or possibly Newport, RI). She is generally assumed to be the oldest of John & Herodias's children. She is mentioned in her father's will as "my daughter Haviland" and "my daughter Hannah." (See full text in the notes under her father.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | HICKS, Hannah (I31982)
|
| 105669 | [JhnHicks..FTW] Many of the sources on John Hicks incorrectly state his ancestry. There is no proof that John Hicks, the progenitor of this line is the John Hicks, son of Robert Hicks, bpt 1605. Genealogists who have seriously studied the original source material discount any relationship between the two. (See Robert Wakefield, "The Children of Robert Hicks", TAG 51:57-8; and Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins" Vol 2, p 927). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ancestry of this John Hicks should be considered unknown. There was also a Stephen Hicks early at Flushing, who is usually claimed to be the brother of John. I [Jim Rubins] have no information as to the accuracy of that, but Stephen apparently died without leaving issue to carry forward the Hicks surname. His will (dated June 8, 1688 & proved Aug 29, 1688) leaves his entire estate to his wife, Ann, and one daughter, also called Ann. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A particularly well-regarded reference on John & his descendants that I [Jim Rubins] have heard of but not yet been able to find is Herbert F. Smith (aka Seversmith) - "Colonial Families of Long Island, NY, and CT", Vol 3. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John was probably born between 1610 and 1615 in England. He married at St. Faith's Church (the crypt of St. Paul's in London) in March 1636/7 Herodias Long. (Hodge, p 64 cites - Liscense 14, London Marriage Liscenses, p. 153. British Rec. Soc.). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She later claimed to have been only 12 or 13 at the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He is thought to have emigrated about 1637, going first to Weymouth, MA. However he shortly removed to Newport, RI. He was listed as admitted as Freeman "since the 20th day of 3rd mo. 1638 - and again on a Court Roll of Freeman dated Mar 16, 1641. (NEHGR, 133:201). His RI period is noted particularly for the tempestous relationship between he and Herodias. (See notes under Herodias) This culminated in him taking the children and removing to Long Island where he obtained a divorce in the Dutch Court. Meanwhile she also sued for and obtained a divorce in the RI courts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He married second, Florence (???) Carman, widow of John Carman, who had been a fellow landowner. His third marriage was to Rachel (???) Starr, widow of Dr. Thomas Starr, with whom he had a pre-nuptial agreement. She had 10 children by her first marriage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the Court Record of the Town of Hempstead, dated 3/5/1657/8, John Hicks is listed as a Magistrate. (Gen LI Fam, v II, p 694) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Early in February, 1665, each town was invited to send two delegates, 'sober, able and discreet persons,' to settle good and well-known laws, called the 'Hempstead Convention' to be held Feb. 28, 1665, where many of the 'Duke's Laws' were enacted. Among the delegates were John Bowne from Gravesend, John Hicks from Jamaica, John Underhill from Hempstead, Daniel Lane from Brookhaven, and William Wells and John Young from Southold." (Frost Gen, p 356) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are many more references to John's career, not yet recorded here. He was one of the original patentees of Flushing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Testament of John Hicks, late of Hempstead, Justice of the Peace. (Surrogate Records of New York, Vol 2, p 91-2 - "Old Liber p. 164-5") "Being weak in body but sound in understanding," makes son Thomas executor, and, referring to their premarital agreement, "he is to pay to my wife Rachel, L100 in cattle, according to wheat at 5 shillings a bushell." Leaves to wife household utensils, "besides her own wearing clothes, and what goods my said wife brought with her to me." I leave to each one of my daughter Haviland's children, a colt." Leaves to daughter Hannah L100, one-third in horses and two-thirds in cattle. Legacies to "children of my son Thomas," and to "my son-in-law Josyas Starr." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated April 29, 1672. The will is also signed by his wife Rachel, "in token of her satisfaction." Witnesses, Jonah Fordham, Richard Valentine. Proved at Court of Sessions, held in Jamaica, June 14, 1672. Anthony Waters, Clerk. Letters of Administration granted to Thomas Hicks, June 17, 1672. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After his divorce from Herodias, John Hicks married twice again; in 1656 to Florence ???, and in 1662 to Racheal ???. As there was no reported issue from these unions, and no other definitive information, I have chosen not to enter them formally into my database.

Mayrita, Cornelis Wilse and Sophia (his daughter) were witnesses. Many of the relatives of Marten Wiltsee's wife moved to Dutchess County, New York early in the eighteenth century, and settled near Matteawan on the Rombout Patent, and were joined by others later. Cornelius Wiltsee and Johonnes, his brother, and their cousin, Hendrick, moved there with their families in the third decade of the century.1 Many of their relatives joined them, and the county became a center of concentration of their relatives. At the close of the fourth decade, not one Wiltsee remained on Long Island. Their migrations were made in river boats, as the least expensive means of conveyance. The death of Cornelius in 1755, scattered his family as the sale of his father's farm resulted in his and Johonnes's migration. The French and Indian war of 1760, and the war of the Revolution scattered the Wiltsees of Dutchess Co., and the descendants of Jacob Wiltsee and Saphia and Jannetje, of Tarritown and Rockland Co., far and wide. The earliest record of a Wiltsee in Dutchess Co. is that of the baptism of Johonnes Wiltsee's daughter, Sara, in the Dutch church at Fishkill Sept. 26, 1733. The first record of Cornelius Wiltsee is of his attendance at Fishkill at the baptism of his grandson, Cornelius, as a witness June 23, 1736. The freeholders of Fishkill met August 1st, 1739, to change the location of a road. They signed a petition to have the roadway along the north side of the Fishkill River turned across the river at the east end of Judge Ter Bosch's land, into the county road leading along the south side of the river. The committeemen appointed were Johonnes Wiltsie, Samuel Halstead, Seth La Duc and Cornelius Wiltsie. This crossing was about three miles from Matteawan and two from Fishkill Village. Cornelius Wiltsie1 had bought land adjoining the Fishkill River and Sylvan Lake on the Rombout patent, extending to the line of Beekman Precinct. Johonnes had bought land near Poquage on the Beekman patent. CORNELIUS WILTSEE BUYS LAND.

Cornelius Wiltsee built a house three-fourths of a mile west of Sylvan Lake and improved his farm there. At the time the census of Dutchess county was taken in 1740, Cornelius Wiltsie, Johonnes Wiltsie and Hendrick Wiltsie were freeholders of the county. Doc. Hist. N. Y. States. PURCHASE OF THE SITE OF FISHKILL LANDING. On Aug. 6, 1743, Cornelius Wiltsee and 21 others bought the site of Fishkill Landing (12 acres of land) of Francis Brett and Margaret, his wife, for the consideration of . 28, S. 13, P. 9. This land lay adjoining Matteawan on the east side of the Hudson River. "A street running east and west through Fishkill Landing and Matteawan is called Wiltse Avenue in the former place, and Rombont Avenue in the latter, designating where the two Wiltsies, Cornelius and Johonnes, [these are grandchildren of Cornelius] first located, and perpetuating their name. The two places are practically one. In 1900, the population of Fishkill Landing was 3,675, and that of Matteawan was 5, 807." Fishkill Standard, 1901.

In connection with his old house, Cornelius built a stone addition with a basement kitchen, and placed a corner stone in the wall on which was engraved the date, 1745. He furnished each part of the house with a loom and furniture, and the necessary implements to carry on the manufacture of linen, and woolen cloth, and blankets; and erected a barn, and a corn house, and a cooper shop, and carried on farming, coopering, and carpentering. He built a store 2 1/2 miles from his place of residence, on the bank of the Fishkill, and named the place Hopewell; and his sons conducted mercantile business there, carrying on traffic with merchants of New York City, by the way of Fishkill Landing and Matteawan, 15 miles away. Hopewell was south of his residence, Arthursburgh 3 miles north; Poquage 6 miles east, on the south branch of the Fishkill. Hopewell was on the original land first purchased. A church congregation assembled there in 1757, and held meetings in private houses, and in a Dutch barn that was still standing in 1901. A church was built in 1764, a fourth of a mile from the barn. That was partly torn down, and moved away, and rebuilt into a carriage house in 1833. The church was rebuilt of brick, and the date given is taken from the lintel at the door. It is on a little rise of ground in the center of the village--a lovely spot. The mill pond is before it, and the road between them. "Johonnes Wiltsie built the mill 300 feet west of the church, and it was owned and run for many years by Nellie Stockholm's relatives. The store is 200 feet east of the church, and all three are on the same side of the street. There are six houses, a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop and a cemetery. They could rent more houses if they had them. Hopewell has not grown much, but I hardly think it will die out. "Hopewell Junction, a settlement of 800 inhabitants, is one mile south. There freight trains change hands. Two railroads pass through, and there are two stations. We have telephones all through the country, and people are prosperous. All are delighted with the country." JennieBogardis. A COPY OF CORNELIUS WILTSEE'S LAST WILL, MADE DEC. 15, 1755. "In the name of God amen this fifteenth day of December one thousand seven hundred fifty-five.

| 105687 | [JRSMITH.GED] In the Genealogy of the Cornell Family, Elizabeth Cornell is "perhaps" married to Cornelius Wilzie (sic). Mary H. Cornell, in a letter to Vivian Allen dated Nov.11, 1996, states: "there is a question as to whether this Elizabeth or her cousin Elizabeth, daughter of William's brother Thomas (born abt 1710, m. Mary Kissam June 22, 1733), was married to Cornelius Wiltzie. Most genealogists believe it was this Elizabeth, not her cousin". In the Wiltize book,(this may be credited to the wrong book by DNR) page 45 she is shown as the daughter of Thomas Cornell and Annatje Wilse (sic). The Wiltse book page 14 shows Annatje Wilse b. 1699-1700) married to Tammus Cornel, whose name has at least 5 variations. Thier children include subject Elizabeth, but she would not be a cousin. | CORNELL, Elizabeth (I61077)
|
| 105688 | [JRSMITH.GED] JEREMIAH WILTSEE VISITS HIS RELATIVES WITH HIS COUSIN. In 1740, Jeremiah Wiltsee and his cousin Lawrence Wiltsee went down the Hudson River to Dobbs Ferry, and to Tappan, to visit Jacob Wiltsee and his descendants, and the descendants of Sophia Hendrickse Wiltsee and her sister, Jennetje, many of whom were living near these places. They met Theunis Hendrickse Wiltsee at Jacob's house near Dobbs Ferry. They went on to Tappan and visited their relatives near there, and followed down the west side of the Hudson River into New Jersey, and visited the descendants of Meyndert Hendrickse Wiltsee, living in that state under the sirname of Savage, Meyndert having, after assuming the name Wiltsee, dropped the last syllable of that name, and translated the first one into English and continued its use as his family sirname. They worked a year or more in the copper mines for John Schuyler, and then proceeded on their journey to Hempstead, Long Island, and visited their grandfather, Marten Wiltsee, and his relatives there, and their mother's relatives, and then engaged in business. Lawrence got married, and later, Jeremiah married his cousin, Mary Cornell. Soon afterwards they both returned to Dutchess County with their wives by boat, Jeremiah to his father's at Hopewell, and Lawrence to Nine Partners where he rented a place. Jeremiah Wiltsee dwelt in the upper story of the store his father built at Hopewell, and dealt in homemade cloth, woolen blankets, wool, flour, cooperage, furs and farm produce, which he shipped to New York City by river boats from Fishkill Landing, and in exchange for them, took European goods and groceries, which he sold at the store at Hopewell, assisted by his childen. His father had willed him an undivided fifth of the store and of the land at Hopewell, and made him an executor of his will in connection with "Henry, Honnes and Jeans," and by arrangement with them he had the store and its contents and outstanding accounts. At the vendue of his father's personal property in 1756, he had bought property and paid cash for it to a small amount. His sons were trained as storekeepers and as farmers, and his children had several of them grown up and gone into business for themselves, when the disturbances in the country arose because of the feeling against England. He then brought his business to a close, and he and his wife and her children moved to Hoosac Corners, to live near his son Thomas. The Bennington Mob molested him there, and stole his stock, and he loaded his household goods into a wagon and returned with his family to Nobletown (Hillsdale) Columbia Co., and remained a few years, and then moved to Bethlehem, 12 miles from the city of Albany, toward the close of the war, and died in a few years after peace was made, some of his children remaining at the homestead. THE OUTLAWS OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANT. The inhabitants holding possession under the New Hampshire grants claimed that the New York State grants were illegal, and formed themselves into companies under leaders whom they called Captains. They made an agreement between themselves to defend themselves by force of arms, and to assist each other against the New York authorities. A mob established itself at Bennington under Seth Warner as Captain. On January 1st, 1772, they held a review there, and practiced firing at a mark. They took two cannons and a mortar to Bennington, and made preparations there to defend themselves against New York. They erected a pole with the stuffed skin of a catamount on top of it, with its head pointing towards New York State. Then they made excursions into the country, destroying property, and maltreating and dispossessing those who held land titles from New York State. Other outlaws under Samuel Robinson, Remember Baker, Ethan Allen and various leaders, roamed over the country, stealing property, burning grain and houses, and whipping the owners, and driving them from the country or murdering them. They "cut men in a shameless manner," and resisted the lawful autohrities1. These outlaws finally built two block houses, and enclosed them with palisades, in the mountains at a place they called Rupert, and established their headquarters there. When they took men prisoners they erected what they called a judgment seat, appointed a judge, and proceeded with a mock trial. The charges they brought against the prisoners were: Sympathizing with the government of the colony of New York; of having rented land of people holding it under a New York Patent; of holding office under the colony of New York, or having possession of land claimed by residents of that colony. Having convicted a prisoner of guilt under one of these charges, they proceeded to sentence him to some kind of brutal treatment or banishment from his home, and the destruction of a part or all of his property and improvements. There were 110 of these outlaws1, and Ethan Allen, Seth Warner and Remember Baker were the most prominent leaders. Note--Being the oldest of the four brothers appointed executors of his father's estate, Jeremiah took charge of the settlement of it. He paid the expenses incurred from money left by his father, and accounted for it in writing. Jeremiah was also executor of the estate of Thomas Cornell, his father-in-law, and left the following as a receipt for what he received: s d "Received from the estate of father Cornell Dc 56 13 6 Jeremiah Wiltse Dr. upon the above 0 3 11 Cr.
