1 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JOSEPH HALSTEAD

In the name of God, Amen, January 22, 1735. I, JOSEPH HALSTEAD, of the Borrough town of Westchester, being sick. Whereas I have, together with Nathaniel Yeomans, of Westchester, entered into an agreement with Madame Brett, for the purchase of 300 acres of land, of which I am to have 200 acres, and to pay therefor the sum of 160, as by said agreement, dated in October last, my executors are to sell my negro slave "Peggy," and all my wheat, and apply the money towards paying for the said land; and they are to sell so much land from the farm where I now live as will pay the remainder, and they are to take a deed for the said tract of land for the use of my son Samuel Halstead. And if my executors are obliged to pay the last payment of 100 for the land I bought of Joseph Thorne, when his executors make good the title, then my executors are to sell so much of my farm as to pay for the same. Whereas I have given to my eldest son Joseph, a farm in Queens County, I leave him 5 shillings in full for his portion. Whereas I have given to my son Richard a farm in Orange County, I leave him 5 shillings. I leave to my son Ezekiel, my farm in New Rochelle, which I purchased of Joseph Thorne, with the buildings. If Madame Brett releases myself and the said Nathaniel Yeomans from the agreement, then I leave the remainder of my farm in Westchester to my sons Samuel and Michael. But if the agreement is not released, then I leave to my son Michael all my said farm, except what my executors may sell as afore stated. If my son Michael should die under age, then I leave the farm to my sons Ezekiel and Samuel. I leave to my daughter-in-law, Deborah Wright, all the goods that her mother, deceased, brought to me on our marriage. I leave to my son Michael, my cart, oxen, and implements. The rest of my personal estate I leave to my daughters, Anne, wife of Robert Ryder, Phebe, wife of Robert Marvin, Sarah, wife of Samuel (???), and Abyah, wife of Henry Gillian.

He died before 10 June 1613, his will dated 5 Sep 1612 was proved 10 Jun 1613 and filed in the York Registry, vol.32 F. 402." Colonial Families of Long Island, New York, and Connecticut, p. 1260 In his will, Abraham intrusted his son Jonas to his wife Susan (Whitley) Halstead who later married John Lum of Northowram on 12 April 1615; she [Susan (Whitley) Halstead Lum] died after 1621 and presumably at Northowram. Abraham Halstead of Northowram was buried 8 Nov 1612, per Halifax Second Register, original, p. 97.

6 Joseph C. Brady received his education in Wheeling and at private schools in Virginia, after the completion of which he was employed as bookkeeper for a hardware house in Cincinnati, where he remained three years. He then returned to Wheeling and was bookkeeper in the National Bank of West Virginia at Wheeling. He was subsequently connected with the wholesale grocery house of Joseph Speidel & Company, a position he relinquished to become manager of the Evening Standard. He became secretary of the Wheeling Hinge Company in 1880, and since 1884 has held the managership also. His business career has been a successful one, and his efforts have been well rewarded. He occupies a prominent place among the leading business men of Wheeling, and takes an active part in all undertakings which tend toward the development of that city."

7 Seversmith "Colonial Families...."p.1260 notes that Arthur S. Wardwell publish a study of the connections of Jonas Halstead and John Lum in The American Genealogist, Vol. XVIII (1942), pages 146 "...In September, 1940,a search of the unpublished registers of Halifax was instituted for connections of certain Long Island families. The registers after 1593 and up to 1636 were examined for the Halstead surname, and some very interesting information came to light. We are convinced that the parents of Jonas Halstead have been found, together with the record of baptisms of Jonas, his two brothers and a sister, and perhaps some half-brothers and a half-sister." "And Mr. Wardwell shows Jonas Halstead, baptised 23 February of 1611, is reasonably identified with the emigrant to the North American Colonies. Therefore, from records to be recited further, we say that Jonas Halstead was the son of Abraham Halstead m. Susan Whitley, dau of John Whitley and Agnes Maude."
It appearing reasonably certain that Abraham and Susan [Whitley] Halstead were residing at Westercroft Manor in Northowram in 1612 at the time of Abraham's death, that one could also conclude that Jonas was born at this location also.

As William Albertson of Cedar Swamp, farmer, he left a will dated 17 Apr
1731 and proved 5 21 1732 in which he mentioned his wife, Barbara; his
sons William and John; and daughter Elizabeth. The will refers to
Elizabeth getting an equal share with her older sister, apparently the

MARRIAGE IN FORD COUNTY RECORDS---JOHN BRITT OF FORD CITY AGE 23
SARAH J. VAN VALKENBURG OF FORD CITY AGE 18
INFORMATION ON JOHN CAME FROM HIS OBIT IN THE KINGFISHER TIMES.
BRITT, John
Thursday January 11, 1940 - John Britt, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Britt,
was born October 18, 1862, near La Crosse, Wis., and passed to his reward
following a brief heart attack at his home four miles west of Cashion
about 7 p.m. Saturday, January 7, 1940. Funeral service was held
Wednesday afternoon at the Cashion Christian church, Joe L. Pope,
minister, delivering the sermon. Burial was made in the Cashion cemetery.

Orphaned at an early age, Mr. Britt was thrown upon his own resources
when a mere child. In advance of the opening of the lands of Oklahoma to
settlement, he had located in this area, being present when the run was
made. Later he went to Iowa, returning to Oklahoma in 1902.

On February 18, 1886, Mr. Britt took as his bride, Miss Sarah Jane
VanValkenburg at Ford, Kans. To them were born the following children,
who with the widow, survive; Lemuel Britt, Austin, Minn., Miss Norma
Britt of the home, Earl Britt, Stillwater, Mitchell Britt, Cashion, Mrs.
Ethel Herrington, Wellington, Kans., Mrs. Hazel Marlow and Elmer Britt,
Cashion, and Mrs. Fern Struck, Kingfisher. He also leaves 8 grandsons, 11
grandaughters and many friends, who mourn the loss of this kindly friend
and gracious neighbor.

Coming back to this part of the country in 1902, Mr. Britt established a
home in the vicinity of Reeding, and only a few years ago he built a new
home for his family. He was identified with all movements for the
development of his community.

Mr. Britt was one of the citizens of the community known as "old timers,"
and had witnessed with delight the development of the country. It has
been said of him that he was one of the minority who never complained
about conditions, and whose utterances about his fellow creatures
relected the spirit of true friendship. (Kingfisher Times)

In an old court record it is stated that the marriage of John
Underhill, Jr. and Mary Prior is pronounced null and they are fined five
pounds each for breach and contempt of the law and to pay ten pounds more
if they shall not be legally married before the next court, which being
neglected, they were fined ten pounds each.
The marriage of John and Mary was according to good order in the
Society of Friends, but contrary to the laws of the Colony, because of the
omission of "priestly or civil official." The Friends finally won in the
stand they took and are married in the same way today. [From: Frost,

RICHARD VALENTINE (1681-bef 1768) is thought to have been born at
Hempstead. The first public record in which Richard is found is a deed
dated 25 October, 1715 in which John Jackson of Hempstead sells a certain
piece of property to his son, James Jackson of Flushing, describing the
land as "the Harbour Hill in Hempstead adjacent to lands of Richard
Valentine, Jr."

The next record which mentions him is that of his father®s Will which
was made in 1723. He is believed to have married MARY, daughter of THOMAS
and MARTHA (SEAMAN) PEARSAL(L), for he is next mentioned with Henry
Pearsal in the Will of Charles Mott of Cowneck, dated 21 August, 1729 as
"my brothers-in-law". Charles Mott requested that his executors sell the
land he bought from Noah Barton in Westchester, (Westchester County, NY).
He devised to his wife, Deborah (Valentine/Pearsal); to his daughters
Abigail, Elizabeth and Mary, all under the age of 18, and four Joseph,
Thomas, Samuel and Sylvanus Mott. He referred to his father, Charles Mott
and his uncle, Adam Mott.
Witnesses were Jacob Mott, Alexander Yong, William Kirk and Thomas
Pearsal. [NYHS COLL XI:156]

Herny Pearsall (Sr.), Mary®s grandfather, was one of the original
fifty proprietors of Hempstead with 9 acres in Mr. Washborn®s Neck, 12
acres more in Mr. Fordham®s neck and 12 acres held "for estate".

In December, 1753, Richard (Sr), for love and affection, deeded to
his youngest son, Richard "equal moiety or half part of all my land."
[HTR IV:295]

On 20 March 1758, Richard, yeoman, of Hempstead Harbour, deeded land
to his son, Richard, Jr., yeoman, of same, that was land bequeathed to him
by his son, John Valentine, in his Will dated 3 May, 1748.
[HTR IV:293]

Whether Richard had been brought up in the Society of Friends or
adopted the Quaker faith when he married Mary Pearsal is difficult to say.
Though a through search of available Quaker records has not revealed the
first mention of him or his children, it is entirely possible he belonged
to a unit of the Quakers who®s records have not survived. According to
the family tradition as written in 1858 he was a Quaker; his wife®s
family undoubtedly belonged to this faith. It is
noted that the north side of town - in which the Valentines lived - was
"rapidly become a Quaker area", about the time of Richard®s birth. Such
leaders as John Seaman, Mary®s maternal grandfather; and Nathaniel and
Thomas Pearsall, Mary®s uncle and father, had jointed that Society.

Richard "of Hempstead Harbour, Queens County," left a Will dated 4
April, 1768, proven 18 June, 1768. In it he refers to himself as being
"far advanced in years." He bequeathed to his sister (sister-in-law) Ann
Pearsall, the use of the west dwelling house and two lean-tos on the north
side along with the cellar and Chamber, and one-half of his meadow ground
below the house with firewood for her use to support one fire, a cow and
his black horse, and the privilege to
gather apples. She was to have pasturage for both until her death or
marriage. He also gave her all the beds she called hers, linen she marked
with by name, a year®s board or provision, wool and flax and two barrels
of cider yearly. He mentioned his grandson, George Weeks to whom he
devised a piece of meadow ground lying west of his house and which he had
given a deed to him, and to his deceased grandson, Richard Weeks,
containing six acres." He stated, "if there is any dispute made by the
executors of my son, Richard, or my grandson Richard Valentine, the son of
my deceased son, Richard Valentine, then my grandson, George Weeks is to
have as much other land." The executors were to divide the land that had
laid in common between him and the children of his deceased son, Richard.
They were to sell eighty acres of land above the Hill eastward to the
house. He devised to his son, Joseph, fifty acres of land lying on
the west side of the road and joining the east side of Onderdonk®s mill
pond, and a small piece of land on the east side of the highway, and
adjoining the north side of Thomas Ireland®s land. He also left to his
son, Joseph, one-half of all the undivided lands in Hempstead. To his
grandson, Richard Valentine, son of his deceased son, Richard, the other
half. The executors of his Will were to pay to his sister-in-law, Phebe
Valentine, the use of all lands, gardens and buildings not ordered to be
sold during ten years to support her and her children and they were to be
sold with monies being paid to grandsons, Richard and Samuel
Valentine, sons of his son Richard, deceased. To his two granddaughters,
Jemima Baker and Abigail Weeks, he gave all of the household goods with
the rest of his personal estate being sold. Thomas Seaman of Westbury,
Israel Pearsall of Hempstead Harbor, his loving friends, and his grandson,
Richard Kirk,
were appointed executors of the Will.
Witnesses were Elijah Gowdy, Hendrick Onderdonk and Samuel Willis.

Strange to tell, but in the three reputable databases where Thomas
Franklin is shown with parents, the father is consistently shown as Henry
Cock and the mother as an unknown Sarah. In all of the other databases
containing information on Thomas Franklin his parents are not shown.
Possibly he was adopted, or issue from an earlier marriage of the unknown
Sarah.
Because those three databases are well documented and the compilers
were circumspect in what they entered, I am going to enter that
information here.

After much soul-searching I have reached the conclusion that Sarah

EDWARD JACKSON
Edward, son of Joseph and Anne Jackson, was born 1741 at Rockaway, New
Jersey and died June 1807 on Freeman's Creek, Harrison County Virginia. In
1762 he married Martha Miller of New Jersey. She is buried in the Butcher
Cemetery, Lewis County, Virginia. Martha while on a visit to her
daughter's Mary Bush, took sick and died there, the streams were at flood
stage and her body could not be taken to the graveyard on the home place,
where her husband Edward was buried, near Mount Clare, Harrison County.
The name of Edward Jackson on March 13, 1776 is among the Signers of the
Article of Associates of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Pequanock,
Morris County, New Jersey, pledging themselves to support the action of
the Continental and Provincial Congress in defending the Constitution.
This was signed by one hundred and eighty persons.
On August 13, 1776 Edward Jackson enlisted for three years in the war of
the Revolution. He was a private in Capitan John Willis' Company, second
Virginia Regiment, commanded successively by Colonels Allen Spottswood and
Christian Fehringer. He was transferred to Capitan Marquis Colme's
Company August 1778. When the second Virginia Regiment was ordered to join
the army of Delaware, Edward Jackson's seventeen year old son Stephen,
joined the Revolutionary Army with Washington's forces. They both marched
to Virginia where they fought and were wounded at the Battle of Yorktown.
Edward and Stephen are both buried on the home farm in the family plot,
about one mile south of Mount Clare, in 1973 the gravestone of Edward and
his son, Stephen, was found in a field where animals had been turned into,
it was cleaned up and moved to the Seven Day Baptist Cemetery next to
Sarah Abigail (Jackson) Hughes.
As to the conflicting dates as to Edward's birth, here is one explanation
from Mary Jackson in Jane Lew, West Virginia. This was not the original
monument. Years ago my father's oldest brother Goodloe Jackson bought
this monument for Edward. He could have been mistaken about the dates.
About forty years ago I visited this graveyard, then it was fenced. At
that time I think the farm in which they were buried belonged to Henry
Bassel whose grandmother was Susan Jackson, a daughter of Stephen.
It is a family tradition that Edward Jackson "crossed the Delaware" with
General George Washington, on December 26, 1776.
About the year 1768 Edward with his wife, Martha, and three children,
Stephen, Sarah and Jemima, left New Jersey and went to Fayette County,
Pennsylvania. They went in a party composed of Edwards cousin, John
Jackson with his wife and sons, George and Edward; his sister, Elizabeth
Tompkins and her family; and his brother William, with his family. At New
Castle, Delaware they separated. Edward and John with their families,
went into Pennsylvania and the others went south into Virginia.
After the close of the war, Edward and his family left Pennsylvania and
moved into Harrison County, Virginia, where they settled on Brown's Creek.
His name as grantee appears on a deed ____. Much of this data was
collected by Lon (Alonzo) Jackson who made quite a study of the Jackson
family. Lon was a son of Minter Jackson and his first wife Mary Katherine
Fell. He died in 1892. He had a son Ernest Alonzo who was a missionary
to Brazil. He and his wife and youngest son went down in the wreck of the
Vestris, Nov. 1928.
The Minter Jackson mentioned in the foregoing, was the son of Stephen
Pomeroy Jackson, who was the son of Stephen G. (W.) Jackson, who was the
son of Edward. We assume that Edward Jackson and his son, Stephen, were
issued land warrants for Revolutionary War Services by the state of
Virginia. Most of there were patented west of the Alleghenies.
Edward Jackson's will, dated May 7 1807 and the inventory of his estate,
recorded June 29, 1807, names nine of his eleven children as legatees.

"Jacob and Thomas C. Stringham were twins." is a statement occuring
earlier in the data of Josephine Frost, but on page 119 of that work she
has his birth as 13 Sep 1790. Thomas C. was born 3 Jun 1801. I think
the earlier date for the birth of Jacob must be correct as he married 27
Nov 1811. The statement making Jacob and Thomas C. twins was probably a
mental lapse referring to James C. and John Stringham, sons of Jacob's
brother David, who were twins.

"The circus animals were housed in barns on Joseph L. Purdy's property,
just to the east of the house. The house is located immediately north of
the present village of Purdys, just east of the highway and railway
station, on the north side of the river. There is a hill behind the
property (the original land area; Purdy's etc. is in the river valley)
extending east to the Titicus Reservoir. Joseph owned at least 1000
acres here. The family now owns about 20 acres, including the house,
which it leases. On the south side of the river is Titicus River road
which turns into Hills Road. It passes to the south of the reservoir,
