Surname Saturday – Updated DEARBORN of Exeter and Hampton, New Hampshire

I previously blogged about my DEARBORN ancestors here:  https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2016/01/surname-saturday-dearborn-of-exeter-and.html  

This lineage has changed due to new findings. I didn’t lose my DEARBORN connections when I found the correct parents of Jonathan Batchelder (about 1800 – 1847), since my new research has found a new lineage back to Godfrey Dearborn.  (See my blog post “A New BATCHELDER lineage” at this link: https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/09/surname-saturday-new-batchelder-lineage.html 

Godfrey Dearborn, a weaver from Hannah, Lincolnshire, signed Reverend Wheelwright’s Combination at Exeter, New Hampshire in 1639.  Around 1648 he removed from Exeter to Hampton and settled in the West End. His house was built on 73 Exeter Road in North Hampton.   His wife, “Goody Dearbarn”, was a member of the Hampton meetinghouse in 1650 and given a pew.  He had six children, mentioning “three daughters” in his will, and his sons Thomas, Henry and John by name.

Godfrey Dearborn had several famous descendants including General Henry Dearborn (1751 – 1829) of the Revolutionary War who also served as Secretary of War under President Thomas Jefferson.    The city of Dearborn, Michigan was named for General Dearborn, as well as Fort Dearborn (1803) in Chicago. During World War II another Fort Dearborn was established in what is now Odiorne Point State Park in New Hampshire.   

General Dearborn had a son, Henry Alexander Scammell Dearborn (1783 – 1851) who was an Adjutant General of Massachusetts and a Massachusetts statesman.  He wrote many books on botany and was the first president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Mrs. Hannah Moore, and her grandson Albert

These tombstones were photographed at the Cemetery on the Plain in Windham, New Hampshire

Who died

Jan. 18, 1828

Aged 6 months

[Right]

IN

Memory of

MISS HANNAH MOOR

Died Oct. 10, 1832

AEt. 65

According to the website Windham, NH History by Derek Saffie, this is the grave of Mrs. Hannah Moor, even though the stone is carved with the word MISS.   She was the wife of Silas Moor Garland, who was granted a name change on 18 June 1828 to change his name to Silas Moor.  He states that Silas and Hannah Moor had “at least one child, Deacon Silas Moore”.  Saffie also proposes that the “Jeremiah Garland” and “Martha Garland” listed with the name change to Moor are probably two more children. [ see the blog page for an image of a document signed "Silas Moor Garlin"]

According to Leonard A. Morrison’s History of Windham in New Hampshire, page 652, this Hannah Moore who died in 1832 is Deacon Silas Moor’s mother, and he was grandson of Capt. William Moor, Revolutionary War veteran of the Battle of Bunker Hill.  Morrison states that Deacon Silas Moor married Hannah Hill in 1818 “and now (1882)… res. In Chicago, Illinois”.  They had five children listed in this book, and little Albert was born on 4 July 1827, and died 15 January 1828. 

There is a biography book found at the World Cat website Jeremiah Moore, son of Hannah Hills and Silas Moore, born 1823 at Windham, New Hampshire and died 1869 at Morley, Missouri, by author William Sanford Hills (a cousin?) and published at an unknown year.   This book probably answers the mystery of the name changes? 

Genealogy:

Generation 1:  Charter James Moore, immigrant from Northern Ireland; married Elizabeth Gregg, daughter of Charter James Gregg.

Generation 2:  Capt. William Moore, born 1733 and died 13 Feb 1812; married Martha Mack, daughter of John Mack and Isabella Brown of Londonderry, Northern Ireland.  She was born 1734 and died 21 June 1808.

Generation 3:  Miss Hannah Moor, born about 1767, died 1832 (see gravestone above)

Generation 4:  Deacon Silas Moore, born 9 June 1793 in Windham; married Hannah Hills on 30 December 1818.  She was born 20 March 1800. 

Generation 5:  Albert Moor, the infant (see gravestone above)

It is curious that Deacon Silas Moore’s mother is listed as MISS Moor.  It is also curious that the husband changed his name from GARLAND to MOOR.    Was she an unwed mother with GARLAND children who took her maiden name? Divorced from the man named GARLAND and her name reverted back to “Miss Moor”? Was the "Silas Moor" in the name change document her husband or her son?

Surname Saturday ~ LOCKE of Rye, New Hampshire

The Locke Burial Ground at Locke's Neck, on Locke Road in Rye, New Hampshire

LOCKE

John Locke is a famous figure on the seacoast of New Hampshire.  His land and the family burial ground are marked with historical plaques from both the state of New Hampshire and the Locke Family Association.  His sword and scythe are on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society museum.  The history of Rye, New Hampshire has pages of information on his life, his infamous death, and his progeny. There are so many descendants that a compiled genealogy takes up two volumes, and additions and supplemental information are discussed at length every year at the annual Locke Family Reunion. This year will be the 126^th annual Locke Family Reunion, “traditionally held on the third Saturday of August to commemorate the death of our progenitor, Captain John Locke” (LFA website, http://www.lockefamilyassociation.org/reunions.html )

Outside of New Hampshire, and outside of the family, John Locke is an unknown figure in American History.  So I will tell his story here in an abridged version…

John Locke is probably the son of Thomas Locke and Christina French, baptized in London at Whitechapel in 1627.  He immigrated to New Hampshire about 1644 and went to Dover, New Castle, Sagamore Creek and then in 1665 he went to Hampton (now the part that is the town of Rye).  It is thought that he framed the first meetinghouse in Portsmouth about 1645. 

The Hampton records state “John Locke Senior was killed by the Heathen in his lott at work upon 26 August 1696.  An 1801 sermon by Rev. Porter of Rye said “In 1694 John Locke being at Locke’s Neck was ambushed and killed by the Indians as he was reaping grain in his field”.  Rev. John Pike’s journal has “Lieutenant Locke was slain by the Indians at Sandy Beach, 25 August 1696”. 

In the book History and Genealogy of Captain John Locke (1627 – 1696), 1916, there is a long description of how Locke was despised by the native people for foiling several attempts to attack Hampton.  In 1696 eight native men came upon him reaping salt hay with his scythe. They mortally wounded him, but not before he cut off the nose of one of the attackers.  One of the sons witnessed the murder, and spent years searching for the Indian without a nose.  Several grandsons are credited with avenging the death of Captain Locke by murdering an Indian (with or without a nose). 

I descend from the oldest son, John Locke, Jr. (1654 – 1733), my 8^th great grandfather, who inherited his father’s land at Locke’s Neck.  He sold all his land to his son, John, my 7^th great grandfather.  Locke’s Neck is now a very expensive neighborhood in Rye, with beautiful waterfront properties, and it’s entrance is graced by the two memorial plaques to Captain John Locke.  This last John Locke had a wife, Sarah, and seven children.  Sarah and four of the children all died in 1736 in the throat distemper epidemic (diphtheria).  The maiden names of the Elizabeth (my 8th great grandmother) and Sarah (my 7th great grandmother) are both unknown.

Surname Saturday ~ GODFREY of Hampton, New Hampshire

The Godfrey Memorial at Founder's Park
in Hampton, New Hampshire

GODFREY

William Godfrey is my 10^th great grandfather.  He was married twice and I descend from his second wife, Margery UNKNOWN.  She was previously married to Thomas Webster (1570 – 1634) and had a son, Thomas Webster (1632 – 1715).   William Godfrey came to New England with his stepson, Thomas Webster, who is also my 9^th great grandfather in a different line.  I descend from William’s daughter, Deborah Godfrey (1645 – 1699) who married John Taylor.  After William died Margery remarried to John Marrian, who was my 10th great grandfather through his marriage with his first wife Sarah.  

In other words, Margery UNKNOWN, my 10^th great grandmother, was married to THREE different men who were all my 10^th great grandfathers!  Believe it or not!

William Godfrey first settled in Dedham, Massachusetts, and also in Watertown.  He was made a freeman in Watertown in 1640. In 1649 he bought land in Hampton, New Hampshire and sold his Watertown land in 1653.   He was a selectman in Hampton in 1654, and he became a Deacon of the church in 1660.

Surname Saturday ~ PHILBRICK of Watertown, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire

Watertown, Massachusetts

PHILBRICK / PHILBROOK

Thomas Philbrick was from Bures, Suffolk, England, and his six children were all baptized there, the youngest, Martha, baptized in Bures in 1631.  He had settled in Watertown in 1636 where he received a land grant, so he just missed having a sketch in The Great Migration series.  Thomas’s sons, John and Thomas, Jr., removed to Hampton about 1639.  By 1645, Thomas, Sr., had sold his estate in Watertown to Isaac Stearns and by 1650 he removed to Hampton with his sons. 

Thomas Philbrick was a culler of barrel staves.  In Joseph Dow’s History of Hampton, Chapter 2, there is an excellent description of Thomas Philbrick, Sr. and the importance of barrel staves in the early economy of the town of Hampton.   This was an elected position, and barrel staves were collected by “the culler of barrel staves” for the town as a form of payment of taxes. For example, in 1654 “liberty was given to any inhabitant to make 500 staves for each share of commonage owned by him, but the staves must all be made before the 29^th of September following.”  As a seaport, Hampton depended on wooden barrels for shipping, storage and trade.

Notable descendant:  Thomas Philbrick was the 7^th great grandfather of Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (see the NEHGS Nexus, Volume XII, pages 167 – 1672, and Volume XIV, pages 65 – 68 for the ancestors of Sir Winston Churchill).

My PHILBRICK genealogy:

Generation 1:  Thomas Philbrick, son of Thomas Philbrook, baptized on 13 September 1584 in Bures, Suffolk, England, and died before 8 October 1667 in Hampton, New Hampshire; married on 4 June 1615 in Bures to Elizabeth Knapp, daughter of William Knapp and Elizabeth Reade.  She was baptized on 9 July 1593 in Bures, and died 19 February 1664 in Hampton.  Six children.

Generation 2: Elizabeth Philbrick, baptized on 31 October 1621 in Bures, died 11 February 1677 in Hampton; married first in 1642 to Thomas Chase; married second on 26 October 1654 in Hampton to John Garland, son of Peter Garland and Elizabeth Unknown.  He was born about 1622 and died 4 January 1672.  Elizabeth married third to Henry Robie.

Surname Saturday ~ GARLAND of Charlestown, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire

Charlestown, Massachusetts

GARLAND

The first immigrant ancestor in this line may be “Peter the Mariner” Garland, my 10^th great grandfather.  His origins are unknown.  He lived in Charlestown, Massachusetts and sailed ships between Massachusetts and Virginia.  According to the compiled Garland genealogy (see below), he “died in the South while on a voyage” about 1687.  He had requested his sons to take his body North (New Hampshire?) for burial, but his coffin was washed overboard during a storm.  Peter Garland lived in land bounded by Edward Converse, my 9^th great grandfather on my paternal side.  His name is mentioned in early Charlestown records and in Note-book Kept by Thomas Lechford, Esq. Lawyer, in Boston, Massachusetts Bay, from June 27, 1638 to July 29, 1641, by Edward Everett Hale, 1885, where on pages 60 – 61 you can find this note which also mentions my 9^th great grandfather Isaac Allerton, Mayflower passenger:

“Thomas Beech, I pray you to pay unto my good friend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, above somme of thirty-three pounds four shillings and six pence.  And I further desire you to demand, recover and receive for me the above somme £6 3s 6d of the same partys, who owe the same unto me, and upon payment, give them acquittance, which when you have received, pay over to my said friend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, according to my Letter of Attorney to him made the Date hereof in that behalf.

Witness my hand the twenty-nynth of March, Anno Dni, 1639

(Signed)     PETER GARLAND”

Peter’s son, John Garland, is my 9^th great grandfather removed to Exeter, New Hampshire where he was recorded in 1650.  By 1653 he was taxed in Hampton.  His son, Peter Garland, my 8^th great grandfather, was a mariner like his namesake, and made weekly trips between Boston and Hampton on a packet.  His sloop was named after his wife, Sarah Taylor.  The records also show vessels named Nonesuch, New Design and Adventure.  His son, John Garland, my 7^th great grandfather, removed to Rye and owned land in Hampton, Portsmouth, Gilmanton, Nottingham and Barrington.  John was a representative to the General Assembly in 1737 and served at Fort William and Mary in 1708.  

Notable descendant:  Senator Bill Frist of Tennesee, who is also a heart and lung transplant surgeon [ see http://www.wargs.com/political/frist.html ]
