Ancestors of Della Elaine Eveland (1937-1984)
First Generation 
1. Della Elaine Eveland,1 daughter of Carlton Derald Eveland and Ethalyn Rose Montross , was born on 6 Oct 1937 in Waterloo, Black Hawk, Iowa, 1 died on 5 Dec 1984 in Escondido, San Diego, California 1 at age 47, and was buried in Escondido, San Diego, California. 1 The cause of her death was Automobile accident..1
General Notes: Elaine's parents divorced when she was quite young and she was raised by her paternal grandparents.
She married Roy Leggitt on her eighteenth birthday before she completed high school. Roy was stationed at the local Waverly Air Force Station at the time. She spent the next eighteen years traveling around the world with Roy as he pursued his Air Force career. As was the custom for Air Force wives of that generation, Elaine did not pursue a profession of her own. She was a full time mother and performed various volunteer and club work while Roy was in the Air Force.
For several years after Roy retired Elaine worked at a local bath accessories store and later at the Miramar Naval Exchange in San Diego.
Elaine and Roy separated in September 1981 with a final dissolution of the marriage in February, 1983.
She was killed instantly when a drunk teenage driver ran a stop sign and drove in front of her at the intersection of Las Palmas Avenue and Bear Valley Parkway in Escondido, California. Because of the proximity of the accident to the Palomar Hospital, her eyes and several organs were salvaged for transplant.
Her SSAN was 478429888.

Della married Major Roy Clarke Leggitt USAF (Retired) ,1 son of Roy Alonzo Young and Clara Clark Leggitt , on 6 Oct 1955 in Nashua, Chickasaw, Iowa. The marriage ended in divorce in Feb 1983. Roy was born on 6 Apr 1933 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Oklahoma 1 and was christened in 1962 in Shemya Island, Alaska. 1 Other names for Roy are Jay Clark Smith, and1 Samuel James (Jay) Purdy.1
Christening Notes: Roy was baptized by the Lutheran Chaplin while stationed at Shemya Air Force Station near the western end of the Aleutian Chain.
General Notes: Early Life:
Roy was born during the Great Depression just at the beginning of the Oklahoma dust bowl His parents were not married.
(In 1994, Mae Leggitt Finney related a story whereas there had been consideration by Inez Hussey Leggitt, Roy's grandmother, of placing him up for adoption shortly after his birth. His great grandmother Elizabeth Capps Hussey put an end to that by stating there would be no adoption of any of her great grandchildren.) His grandmother, who didn't like the name Roy, called him Jay.
In January 1934 his mother and he moved in with the Samuel Purdy family in Carter, Oklahoma. Clara worked as their housekeeper and finished high school there in 1936. By 1937 the Purdy family could no longer support themselves in Oklahoma because of the severity of the dust bowl. In September 1937 they migrated to southern California.
Roy went to first through third grade as Samuel James (Jay) Purdy. After his mother's marriage in 1941 to Leonard Smith, without adoption, his name was changed to Jay Clark Smith. He went to 17 grammar schools and four high schools, graduating from Modesto High School, CA, in 1951. Roy worked as a janitor, shoe salesman, operating engineer, and carpenter until joining the United States Air Force in November, 1952. During that period he and his family lived in Nevada, central, and southern California.
Military Life:
Roy joined the United States Air Force 26 November 1952. He served as an enlisted ground radio operator and attained the rank of staff sergeant. Just prior to his marriage in 1955 Roy changed his name from Jay Clark Smith back to his legal birth name, Roy Clarke Leggitt.
Upon completion of officer candidate school he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1959. He served as a communications officer and later as a communications-electronics staff officer.
Roy attended night college courses until he was able to complete his two final semesters at the Alaska Methodist University. He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Natural Sciences (Magna Cum Laude) in 1965. In 1969 Roy completed his Masters of Science in Information Sciences degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
During his tour with the USAF, Roy was stationed in California, Mississippi, Japan, Iwo Jima, Iowa, New Mexico, Azores, Texas, Mississippi, Shemya Island, Alaska, Mississippi, Iowa, Georgia, Belgium, and Oklahoma. Roy retired from USAF as a major on 31 August 1974.

Post Military Life:
Two days after retiring from the USAF Roy began working with NCR Corporation in San Diego as a software quality analyst and later as a programmer analyst. He worked primarily in telecommunications programming.
In 1976 he became bored with his job and obtained his real estate sales license. He worked mostly in the Poway, California area. While working there he met his future wife-to-be, Darlene.
In 1978 he went back to NCR as a senior software quality analyst and later as a consulting analyst.
After their children were grown, Roy and his wife of nearly 28 years grew apart and divorced in 1983.
In 1984 Roy changed over from the commercial side to the defense industry side of software quality engineering with the Cubic Defense Corporation in San Diego. He worked as a software quality engineer and later as a software quality engineering technical specialist. Again, his specialty was in telecommunications programming.
In 1987 Roy married his present wife Darlene.
His aim for several years was to retire when he reached 59 1/2 years of age. On schedule, Roy retired in October 1992.
Retirement Years:
Roy now pursues genealogy as his principle pastime. After his wife Darlene retired a day after her fifty-fith birthday in 1996 they spent a considerable amount of time each year touring America in their recreational vehicle from their home base in San Diego. In January 1997, after they decided they enjoyed RVing so much, they sold their house in San Diego, bought a new diesel powered 37' Holiday Rambler Endeavor LE, and became full time RVers. Darlene drives and Roy navigates. Using his laptop computer and a cellular modem, Roy still pursues his online genealogical quest.
They spend their winters on the Colorado River near Parker, Arizona. Starting in early spring and continuing through late fall they travel to a selected area of the United States. They try to visit family and friends in central Nevada and southern California twice a year. By the end of 1997 they had traveled to each of the contiguous 48 states and in early 1998 ventured down into Mexico.
They still have the traveling bug. In June 2002 they upgraded their home-on-wheels to a new, custom built 2002 41' Monaco Windsor diesel pusher with three slide out compartments. Darlene still does all the driving.

When his mother married Leonard Smith, without adoption, his name was changed to Jay Clark Smith. He completed school and joined the United States Air Force using this name.
Just prior to his marriage in 1955 he formally changed his name back to Roy Clarke Leggitt.

Second Generation
2. Carlton Derald Eveland, son of Alva A. Eveland and Clara M. Dreier , was born on 5 May 1914 in , , Iowa and died on 6 Jun 1987 in Escondido, San Diego, California at age 73.
General Notes: Source: Eveland family records.
The Birth Index at the Waverly Bremer County Courthouse indicates Carlton's birth as May 8, 1914.
Carl worked for the local John Deere manufacturing plant and retired from there. In his later years he and Grace lived in Janesville, Iowa.
In the late 1970's Carl suffered a severe brain hemorrhage. The doctors in Waverly effectively told the family that Carl was brain dead. Elaine and Laverne had flown in to be with him. Vern insisted on transporting Carl to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. There they were able to stabilize him. However, he was restricted to a wheel chair the rest of his life.
Prior to his brain hemorrhage Carl was an extremely witty and funny man. People gathered around him to be entertained and shocked by his often tall tales and iconoclastic humor. Although his family knew a more abrasive and grouchy side of his personality, they were also very devoted to him. Carl could always delight an audience and was generally very well liked by most people.
In about 1982 he and Grace moved to California to be near Elaine. For a short period they moved back to Iowa, but shortly returned to Escondido, California.
Elaine was able to enjoy her father before her death in 1984.
Carl is listed as C. EVELAND in the Social Security Death Index: 483-09-0480.

Carlton next married Grace Johanna Harris . Grace was born on 29 Dec 1921.
General Notes: Source: Eveland family records.
Grace is listed in the Social Security Death Index: 478-16-4063.
Grace was one of 3 girls and 1 boy born to Alfred Harris and Hannah Ziehe, in Waverly, Iowa. She was only 18 when she married Carl, her only husband.
She devoted her entire life to her family, and held a number of difficult jobs.
She worked in a bomb factory during WWII, and subsequently in various meat packing plants and canneries. Her final job, which lasted more than 20 years was as a nurse’s aid at Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo, Iowa.
Always a highly moral and principled woman, she cared for her physically and mentally disabled husband faithfully for the last 20 years of their lives, and died in Escondido, CA of unknown causes less than 3 weeks after his death in 1987. Her devotion to family, patience and strength of character inspired the epitaph, “Amazing Grace”, on her tombstone.

The following was written by his grandson, Vern Eveland, in November 2002:
Alva lived his later years at 708 third St., Southwest, in Waverly, Iowa, with his wife Clara, and their youngest son Donald. That is also where Alva and Clara raised their granddaughter, Elaine, whom they both loved very much. Alva worked nights at Rath's meat packing plant in Waterloo, Iowa and returned home to sleep early in the morning. During the days he toiled in their large vegetable garden and tended a colony of honey bees. Frequently, when Alva arose from sleep grandchildren would be sitting at the dining table visiting with their grandmother and eating her somewhat overcooked food. He would traditionally sit down at the table, unshaven, scratch his heavily matted and tussled gray hair, look around at the children and utter a few choice curse words to the delight of his young guests. This elicited an outburst of frustration from his wife, although she obviously also found him amusing. On days off from work, Alva and Clara would drive to the business district in their old green 1947 Hudson, crossing the river to where most of the stores were located, and there Clara would sit in the car for hours, watching people while Alva spent time in the tavern with his friends. Alva was not a heavy drinker, but he kept a bottle of whisky in the garage where he would sneak out for an occasional nip. A favorite game of the grandchildren was to try to find where grandpa hid his hooch, then tell Grandma, who for good reasons detested alcohol and frequently lectured her grandchildren on its evils. There is no doubt that Alva and Clara were in love, because following his death from a brain hemorrhage, Clara lost her desire to live, and pined away until her death in 1959.
Alva married Clara M. Dreier on 16 Jan 1906 in , Bremer, Iowa. Clara was born in Jun 1889 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa, died on 24 Feb 1959 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 69, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
Children from this marriage were:
i. Winnifred Eveland was born about 1909 in Ipswich, Edmunds, South Dakota.
iii. Helen Marie Eveland was born on 24 Aug 1916 in , Bremer, Iowa and died on 30 Nov 1974 in Waterloo, Blackhawk, Iowa at age 58.
iv. Donald Edward Eveland was born on 24 May 1919 in , Bremer, Iowa and died in Feb 1987 in Worthington, Nobles, Minnesota at age 67.
v. Infant Daughter Eveland .
5. Clara M. Dreier, daughter of William Dreier and Sophia A. Laitner , was born in Jun 1889 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa, died on 24 Feb 1959 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 69, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: Source: Bremer County Marriage Records, 1900-1916. License #6372, dated 15 Jan 1908. Listed as age 19, white German, living in Waverly. (See LDS microfilm #1034274.)
Clara and Alva raised Elaine after her father and mother divorced in about 1939.
I (RCL) met Clara shortly after I arrived in Waverly in the fall of 1954. She was very obviously the typical German grandmother, very stern but fair. She had a hidden humor that took quite a while to recognize..
At the time of her death Elaine and I were stationed in the Portuguese Azores. We were scheduled to leave there the next month for San Antonio, Texas. Elaine and Derald left early to attend the funeral.
Clara married Alva A. Eveland on 16 Jan 1906 in , Bremer, Iowa. Alva was born on 2 Mar 1886 in , Bremer, Iowa, died on 3 Jan 1954 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 67, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
6. Percy M. Montross, son of Alpheus/Alphonso R. Montross and Juliette Agusta Gould , was born on 22 Apr 1884 in , , Iowa, died on 26 Jun 1945 in , , Iowa at age 61, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: Source: Eveland family records.
Bremer County Genealogical Society May - 1983 indicates: burial in Harlington Cemetery, Washington Twp Sec #2 in lot G 1 L 438 Sec H.
The 1920 Federal Census soundex for Iowa listed Percy A. Montrose 35 with wife Leah 28, and daughter Evelyn 2 1/12. I did not have time to check the actual census (see Bremer County, ED 48, Sheet 5, Line 81.)
The Bremer County Record of Deaths Book 2, page 314, sequence number 6 indicated he was born Apr 22, 1854 in Butler County, Iowa. His father was Alpheus M. Montross, born in Janesville, Iowa. His mother was Julie Gould also born in Janesville, Iowa. He died from a bleeding stomach ulcer.
Percy married Leah Ernestine "Slim" Bennett . Leah was born on 22 Mar 1891 in , , Iowa, died on 8 Feb 1970 in , Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 78, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
The child from this marriage was:
7. Leah Ernestine "Slim" Bennett, daughter of Edward Allen Bennett and Cora Irene Bessmer , was born on 22 Mar 1891 in , , Iowa, died on 8 Feb 1970 in , Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 78, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: Source: Eveland family records.
Slim was alive and very active while I was stationed at Waverly Air Force Station in 1954 and 55. While I was overseas in 1961-62 she babysat for Derald and Alan on many occasions while Elaine was living in Waverly.
Bremer County Genealogical Society May - 1983 which lists cemetery plots indicates:
Bessmer, Albert D. age 77 2-6-1945 G6 L130 Blk6
Anna G. (Mrs.) age 78 8-26-1943 G6 L130 Blk6
Lena (Mrs.) age 92 4-24-1944 G2 L91 Blk12
It could be very probably that Albert D. and Anna G. are Slim's parents and Lena her aunt.
Bremer County Genealogical Society May - 1983 indicates: burial in Harlington Cemetery, Washington Twp Sec #2 in lot G 1 L 438 Sec H, along side Percy.
The social security death index indicates her birth and death dates. It also indicates her resident ZIP code as 50677. The entry name is Leah Montross, SSAN 481-20-4888.

During a visit to Waverly in 1997 I found that Leah's maiden name had been Bennett, not Bessmer. Her marriage license clearly indicates Bennett. The 1910 might provide the clue to why. Household 121 in the Bremer County, Waverly Township is headed by Christina Bessmer, age 63. Also listed in the household is Cora Bennett, age 37 and daughter of Christina Bessmer. Leah Bennett, age 19 is listed as Cora's granddaughter and her profession is indicated as teacher. Cora's sister Isabelle is also listed as a daughter of Cora.
Her marriage certificate to Percy Montross on January 4, 1913 at age 21 indicates her father as Edward Bennett and mother as Cora Bessmer. Therefore either Edward Bennett had died by 1910 or he and Cora had separated by then and were living with Leah's grandmother.
The Bremer County Death Records Book 4, page 232, sequence number 2 indicates Leah Ernestine Montross was born 22 Mar 1891. She died 8 Feb 1970 in Waverly. Her father was E. L. Bennett and her mother was Cora Bessmer. She died from arteriosclerocis mid-cerebrial artery thrombosis with right hemiplegia for three weeks.
The Social Security Death Index contains:
MONTROSS, LEAH 481-20-4888 (IA) b. 22 Mar 1891 d. Feb 1970 last residence 50677 (Plainfield, Bremer, IA)
Leah married Percy M. Montross . Percy was born on 22 Apr 1884 in , , Iowa, died on 26 Jun 1945 in , , Iowa at age 61, and was buried in Harlington, Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.

The History of Butler and Bremer Counties, Iowa, 1883, page 1103 has the following biographical information:
Jacob M. Eveland, second son of Henry and Aurenna (Miller) Eveland was born in Fulton county, Ill., April 21, 1841. In 1854, his parents moved to Bremer county, and settled in Lafayette township, where Jacob has since resided, excepting two and one-half years spent in Davis County, Iowa. His educational advantages were very limited, as he had to assist his father in preparing their future home. In 1875, he bought his present farm, on section 10, on which he has since resided. In January, 1868, he was married to Miss Angeline Stufflebeam, daughter of Joshua and Polly Stufflebeam, one of the pioneers of Bremer county. Seven children have been born to them, four of whom are now living -- Nellie Alavanda, Jacob Clarence, Bertha Aveline Aurora, Elfie. (Note: this text was published in 1883, Alva was born in 1886.)

It looks like Jacob's wife had passed on by 1920 and Alva and Glenn and their families had moved in for a while.

The History of Bremer County, 1985, in an article on the family of Io Austin and Louise Mary (Dreier) Alcock, indicates the spelling of the name as Leichtnor.
Bremer County Genealogical Society May - 1983 indicates Sophia age 76 1-25-193 B6,L92,G3.
Sophia married William Dreier . William was born about 1854 in Haeven, Westphalia, Germany, died on 2 May 1926 about age 72, and was buried in Harlington Cem., Washington Twp, Bremer, Iowa.
12. Alpheus/Alphonso R. Montross,3 son of Griffin Montross and Permilla Marie Rumsey , was born in Oct 1854 in , , Wisconsin and died after 1920.
General Notes: Marriage certificate is recorded on page 450 of the Bremer County Marriage Records Jan 1873 - April 1880.
The 1894 Atlas of Bremer County, Iowa lists A. R. Montross with 34 acres in Washington Township section 13.
The 1900 Federal Census for Bremer County, Washington Township, Iowa lists the following in enumeration district 35, sheet 5, line 54:
Montross, Alpheus, W, Oct, 1854, age 45, born Wisconsin, farming, both parents were born in New York. His wife was Julieth, born Nov, 1856 in Iowa. Her father was born in New Jersey and mother in New York. Children all born in Iowa were Percy born Apr 1884, Beatrice born Apr 1887, daughter Kay (or Ray) born Mar 1890, daughter Augusta (or Angicla?) born May 1892, and Louisa born Aug 1897.
There is no soundex for the Iowa 1910 census so I could not check for children born after 1900.
The 1917 Atlas of Bremer County, Iowa lists A. R. Montross with 90 acres in Washington Township section 13.
Alpheus R. Montross is listed in the 1920 Iowa census for Bremer County, Washington Township, age 65. It indicates he was born in Wisconsin, his father was born in Ohio and his mother was born in New York. His wife's father was born in New Jersey and her mother was born in New York.
There is a possibility Alpheus' father may be either Enox L or Samuel Montross. They are the only two Montross entries in the 1855 and 1860 Wisconsin census. They are both listed in the Winfield Township, Sauk County.

The above text, page 303, lists a Enos Lemael Montross (486), born 27 May 1828 in Greene Co., N.Y., died 20 Mar. 1909 at Reedsburg, Wisc. Married 5 Feb 1851 at Four Mile Point Lighthouse, Greene Co., Sarah Ann Pelton b. 22 June 1827 at Athens, Green Co., dau. of John Pelton (9 Aug. 1800-28 Jan1867) and his wife Sarah R. Hinckley (6 May 1807-26 June 1890); both Enos and Sarah Ann were buried on their farm; their bodies were later moved to the Greenwood cem., Reedsburg.
Soon after he was married, Enos moved to Wisconsin, where he farmed with his father on their 180-acre farm -- part of Sec. 25, township 13, range 4, near Reedsburg.
Children (2, both b. Reedsburg):
(1) Frederick L. Montross b. 12 Nov. 1851; d. 23 Aug. 1854; bur. Reedsburg
(2) Ivan B. Montross b. 7 Nov. 1855; d. 9 Mar. 1860; bur. Reedsburg
(3) Agnes williams Montross (adop.; m. Jason Pelton and d. abt. a year after her marriage.
Sources: Bertha Montross (1026) who owned in 1953 the family Bible of Samuel Montross (216).
This would tend to show that Enos was not the father of Alpheus. However, if a family relationship can be proved, the Montross Family History would provide the ancestry back to the immigrant. Likewise, http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1969955&id=I1824 has a detailed pedigree on Enos.
In October 2002 I searched the various online databases for Alpheus again. I found a recent posting for an Alpheus/Alphonso Montross who was married to Juliette Agusta Gould. Bingo!! (Sally Dockstadler is identified as the source provided this new posting.)
This lead provided Alpheus' parents: Griffin Montros and Permilla Maria Rumsey. That, in turn, led me to the Montross: a family history identified as a source. That source then provided the six generation connection back to the immigrant, Pierre Montras, who migrated from France to Montreal about 1680. 4
Alpheus/Alphonso married Juliette Agusta Gould on 25 Mar 1880 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa. Juliette was born in Nov 1856 in Janesville, Bremer, Iowa and died after 1930.
Children from this marriage were:
6 i. Percy M. Montross (born on 22 Apr 1884 in , , Iowa - died on 26 Jun 1945 in , , Iowa)
ii. Beatrice Montross was born in Apr 1887 in , , Iowa.
iii. Kay (Or Ray) Montross was born in Mar 1890 in , , Iowa.
iv. Augusta May Montross was born in May 1892 in , , Iowa.
v. Louisa Montross was born in Aug 1897 in , , Iowa.
vi. Eva Montross was born about 1907 in , , Iowa.
13. Juliette Agusta Gould, daughter of Henry Day Gould and Eliza J. Miller , was born in Nov 1856 in Janesville, Bremer, Iowa and died after 1930.
General Notes: The 1930 federal census lists Juliette as mother-in-law in the household of Harry E. and Mae A. Robninson in East Waterloo Township, Black Hawk County, Iowa. 5
Juliette married Alpheus/Alphonso R. Montross on 25 Mar 1880 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa. Alpheus/Alphonso was born in Oct 1854 in , , Wisconsin and died after 1920.
14. Edward Allen Bennett, son of Edward Bennett and Janette Hume , was born about 1866 in Probably, Marquette, Wisconsin.
General Notes: The actual father of Leah and Isabelle Bennett is not totally confirmed. Leah's record of death indicates E. L. Bennet as her father. Her mother, Cora's death record indicates her husband was Ed Bennett, age 78. This would indicate he was born about 1864.
This is complicated because this Edward's uncle Benjamin Bennett also had a son named Edward Allen Bennett born about 1865 in Wisconsin, according to the Bremer County History and 1870 federal census.
Even though Benjamin's son Edward is closer in age to that of the stated husband of Cora, I still lean toward the Edward born about 1866. Two factors influence this decision. First Benjamin's son Edward Allen is enumerated simply as Allen in the 1870 census. Secondly, Cora's death record indicates her husband was E. L., not E. A. Bennet.
The IGI has the following:
Cora BESSMER
Sex: F
Marriage(s):
Spouse: Edward Allen BENNETT
Marriage: Abt. 1890

Edward married Cora Irene Bessmer . The marriage ended in divorce. Cora was born in Oct 1872 in , , Iowa, died on 13 Nov 1942 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 70, and was buried on 17 Nov 1942 in Harlington Cem, Bremer, Iowa.
The child from this marriage was:
15. Cora Irene Bessmer, daughter of David Bessmer and Christina Wuest , was born in Oct 1872 in , , Iowa, died on 13 Nov 1942 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 70, and was buried on 17 Nov 1942 in Harlington Cem, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: The 1900 Bremer County, Waverly Township, Iowa federal census, ED 36, Sheet 6, Line 58 shows the following:
Bessmer, Christina Head Nov 1846 53 Widow Germany Germany Germany
Isabelle Dau May 1869 31 Single Iowa
Bennett, Cora I Dau Oct 1872 29 Divorced Iowa
Leah E GDau Mar 1891 9 Single Iowa
Bessmer, Raymond Son Oct 1885 14 Single Iowa
The census information also indicated that she immigrated in 1851 and had been in America for 49 years.
The Bremer County Record of Death, Book 2, page 21 indicates Cora was divorced at the time of her death. She lived in the east city limits of Waverly. Her husband, Ed Bennett, was 78 years of age. Her birth was 6 Oct 1872 in Clarksville, Iowa. Her father was David Bessmer, born in Germany. Her Mother was Christina Wuest, born in Germany. The informant of the information was Leah Montross of Waverly. She had been a retired school teacher and her burial date was 11-17-42 at Harlington Cemetery, Waverly, Iowa. She died Nov 13, 1942 at 3:30 PM. Cause of death was Padgents disease right breast, 1 year; due to generalized carcinomatosis; due to arteriosclerosis.
Cora married Edward Allen Bennett . The marriage ended in divorce. Edward was born about 1866 in Probably, Marquette, Wisconsin.

18. Joshua Stufflebeam, son of William John Stufflebeam and Mary Elizabeth Miller , was born in 1822 in , , Kentucky.
General Notes: Source: Eveland family records.
Bremer County History, 1985, page 11, indicates Joshua Stufflebeam was one of the settlers who arrived in 1853. (Mason Eveland was also on this list.)
1910 Iowa census, Bremer county, Lafayette Twp, lists age as 88, born in Kentucky, father and mother born in North Carolina.
According to Ernest Willey Eveland, Grandfather Stufflebeam suffered with a "fever sore" on one leg which made him practically a cripple and so his wife and children worked hard to make a living the last few years they lived in Illinois. His sister, Cinda, Mrs. Mason Eveland, prevailed on him go back to Bremer County, Iowa where they could help him, which they did. He traded his little farm which he had in Illinois for some personal property which included a young mare so in the course of a few weeks they were back in Iowa with a team of young mares, a few cows, and some farming equipment not much better off than they were when they left Iowa, eighteen years before.

Griffin Montross b. abt. 1818; m. 8 Dec. 1848, by Rev Mr. Alfred Newton, Permilla Rumsey; sold land to Hugh Summerlin in 1844 and 1848. (This Summerlin entry is important because Griffin's daughter, Adella, appears in the 1920 Bremer County, Iowa census in the household of Spencer Summerlin.)
Griffin's marriage to Permilla Rumsey is supported by several researchers who have submitted data to the Rootsweb/Ancestry.com online database. The 1850 census lists Griffin and Amelia Montross living in the Indian Lands District, Marquette County, Wisconsin. However, based on the following census entry, it appears Griffin was married to a woman named Cornelia in 1880. (By the way, Jackson Township covers the town of Janseville and is one township south of the Waverly Township.)

General Notes: History of Butler and Bremer County, 1883, page 1098 has the following biographical information:
Henry D. Gould, one of the early settlers of Jefferson township, and one of Jefferson's most trusted and enterprising citizens, was born in Morristown, New Jersey, January 13, 1829. He was the son of Z. S. and H. L. (Day) Gould.
His father died in 1868; but his mother is still living on the old homestead, in New Jersey, where she has lived for over sixty years, at the advanced age of eighty years. Henry D. is the third of a family of seven children, all of whom are living, excepting one sister. When sixteen years of age, he left the parental roof, going to Brooklyn, Long Island, where he learned the confectioner's trade, following the same, as a journeyman, for something over nine years. Having a thorough knowledge of the business, he determined to embark in this branch for himself; but this proved to be a disastrous move, as in it he lost nearly all of the hard earnings of his early life. Nothing daunted by his misfortune, he resolved to seek his fortune in the West, and in March, 1856, landed in Jefferson township, Bremer county, where he bought land on section 33, on which he has resided every since. In 1852, he was married to Miss Eliza J. Miller, a native of Brooklyn, born July 18, 1830. The change from city to country life, upon the western prairie, was a great one, and it is no wonder that Mrs. Gould often sighed for the old home.
But many changes have been wrought in the years that are gone. The little log cabin in which they first lived has long since been replaced by a more elegant structure. The farm has been improved, and they are now surrounded by all the comforts obtainable in the older countries. Mr. Gould has always been active in township affairs, holding at all times some one or more of the various local offices. Mr. and Mrs. Gould are the parents of four children, three of whom are living -- Mary Louisa, living at home; Julietta A., wife of A. Montrouse; Josephine F., wife of John Vincent; Joseph D. who died in 1879, at the age of sixteen years. The family are active members of the M. E. Church. Mr. Gould has been one of the trustees of the church for many years.
The 1900 Bremer County, Jackson Township census indicates Henry D. Gould was born Jan 1829, age 71, and is a widower. His daughter Mary L. was born Apr 1855, age 45, and is single. The entry indicates that Henry's parents were both born in New Jersey. It also indicates his occupation is a capitalist. Mary's entry indicates her mother was born in New Jersey also.
Henry married Eliza J. Miller in 1852. Eliza was born on 18 Jul 1830 in Brooklyn, , New York.
Children from this marriage were:
i. Mary Louise Gould was born in Apr 1855 in , , Iowa.

In February, 1864, Mr. Bennett enlisted in Company C, of the Twenty-third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the war. Mr. Bennett has been twice married -- in 1858 to Miss Elizabeth Ellison, also a native of England. She died in 1857, leaving one child -- Elizabeth, now the wife of Albert Shadbolt. In November, 1867, he married Miss Janette Hume, a native of Scotland. They have ten children -- James, Sarah A., Edward**, Martha V., Maggie, William C., Robert Hume, Cora, Ruth, and Eva.

FIFTH GENERATION
JACOB G[RIFFIN ?] MONTROSS (parent: Joseph Montross)
b. 14 Feb. 1790 in Somers town, Westchester Co., N.Y.
d. 1 June 1837 near Norwalk,, Ohio
m.Betsy ; d. bef. 13 Nov. 1837
Jacob was 22 years old when the War of 1812 began. On 25 Aug. 1814, a British raiding force plundered and burned the City of Washington. One week and 1 day later Jacob enlisted in the 13th New York Artillery Regiment in the company commanded by Capt. Justus Hyatt. The regiment was assigned to guard New York City and was stationed at the West Battery. Jacob's term of enlistment was for 1 month, but he re-enlisted on 2 Oct. after receiving his pay of $8. On 2 Nov. he was hospitalized in Peekskill by order of the regimental surgeon because of "disability". The war was ended by treaty in December.
Shortly after discharge Jacob married and probably continued to live near his parents but apparently did not purchase a farm. Two years after his father's death Jacob petitioned the court on 22 June 1829 for a partition of his father's estate. With the proceeds he set out with his wife and 5 children for the West. We find him on 18 Aug. 1831 purchasing 40 acres in Hartland Twp., Huron Co., Ohio, for $50. In 1837 both Jacob and Betsy died, leaving 5 children, all minors except Maria, who was over 1& The Surrogate Court of Huron Co. appointed Edmund W. Meade guardian of the others. He acted for them in the administrative proceedings and also in collecting what was due them undet: the will of Jacob's mother Sarah, who had left 54 of her residual estate to be divided equally among Jacob's children. In the settlement of Sarah's estate, Mr. Meade filed 19 Oct. 1844 a statement declaring that he was guardian of Catharine and had been appointed attorney by Maria, Griffin, and Susan, who were then of age. Joseph was not named; he had died since 1837. None of the children appears in the 1850 census of Huron Co.

56. James Bennett was born in Of, Lancashire, England and died in 1861 in Probably, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: The fact that Benjamin is the son of James and Sarah is established by the Bremer County History. That same history entry for Edward Bennett indicates the same time and migration path as Benjamin's. That and the 1850 Marquette County, Wisconsin federal census entry leads me to believe that David, Edward, and Benjamin are brothers and therefore the sons of James and Sarah Bennett. This will warrant more investigation the next time I have access to Wisconsin and Iowa census records.
James married Sarah Higgenbotham . Sarah was born in Of, Lancashire, England and died in 1870 in Probably, Bremer, Iowa.
Children from this marriage were:
i. David Bennett was born about 1826 in Of, Lancashire, England.
28 ii. Edward Bennett (born on 6 Jul 1831 in Of, Lancashire, England)
iii. Benjamin Bennett was born on 7 Jul 1833 in , Lancashire, England.

Sarah married James Bennett . James was born in Of, Lancashire, England and died in 1861 in Probably, Bremer, Iowa.
62. Mathias Wuest was born on 24 Aug 1813 near Cologne, Rhine Province, Prussia, Germany, died on 25 Jul 1892 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa at age 78, and was buried in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa.
General Notes: Bremer County Iowa History, 1985, page 10 for Fremont Township indicates that Matthias Wuest was one of the first settlers, settling there in 1855. The text also indicates that their daughter Mary was the first birth in Fremont Township on August 25, 1855. Since another daughter Christina was born in Germany in 1847, this means the family immigrated to America sometime between these dates.
History of Butler and Bremer Counties, Iowa, 1883, page 1054 has the following biographical information:
Matthias Wuest was born in Rhine Province, Prussia, near Cologne, August 24, 1813. He learned to read under his father's instruction, then attended the high school until he was eighteen years of age. His English education has been acquired at odd moments. Until he was seventeen years old, his life was passed on his father's farm, except the time spent at school. At that age he began learning the carpenters' trade, and at nineteen, volunteered in the army and served three years. Upon returning to civil life, he followed his trade, and in 1837 was married to Miss Mary Kopp, who also was born near Cologne. During the last five years spend in his native country, Mr. Wuest was engaged exclusively in stair-making. In 1848 -- during the Revolution -- he became a Liberal and was chosen as a delegate to elect a representative. About this time he read a book descriptive of America, and thinking he would like the country, decided to cross the ocean and settle here. Accordingly in 1852, he, with his family, came and located first in Chicago, but one month after his arrival, left because of cholera becoming an epidemic. Upon quitting that city he settled in Freeport, Illinois, where he remained, working at his trade until the summer of 1855, when he came to Bremer county, Iowa, and entered eighty acres of land on section 14, Fremont township, where he has since resided. Since his settlement here, he has added one hundred acres to his original eighty. Mr. Wuest has held the office of trustee several terms, besides being assessor and holding other minor offices. He belongs to no political party, but he believes in the "Golden Rule." They have had nine children, seven of whom are now living -- Peter, who now lives in Nevada; Frank, now living in Nashua, Iowa; Christina, wife of David Bessemer, of Waverly; Kate, wife of Hon. Louis Hanchett; Sabella, wife of Leroy Walling; Mary, wife of Sanford Ferror; and Albert who now owns a drug store in Tripoli.
The Bremer County Record of Deaths Book 10 page 93, sequence number 11 indicated he was a farmer and died July 25, 1892 in Waverly. Cause of death was heart failure and he was buried in Waverly.
Mathias married Anna M. Kopp . Anna was born in , , , Germany.
Children from this marriage were:
i. Peter Wuest .
ii. Frank Wuest .
31 iii. Christina Wuest (born in Nov 1846 in , , , Germany)
iv. Kate Wuest .
v. Sabella Wuest .
vi. Mary Wuest was born on 25 Aug 1855 in Fremont Twp, Bremer, Iowa.

64. Frederick Eveland,11,12 son of John Eveland and Hannis Lowrance , was born in 1744 in , Sussex, New Jersey 12 and died in 1838 in , Mcleary, Illinois 12 at age 94.
General Notes: Source: Eveland and Stull Family Bible Records, The New Jersey Genesis, Vol 10 No 1, October 1962, page 395. This text covers three generations of Evelands, from David Eveland to Frederick and Frederick's six children which lists Frederick as the oldest.
The will of John Eveland, of Newton, Sussex County, dated 3 Jun 1766, was administered by Frederick Eveland, Jr.
Additional evidence is that Sussex County was created from Morris County in 1753. Morris County, in turn, was created from Hunterdon County in 1739; thus, the locations also match.
Source: The Palatine Families of New York, Henry Z. Jones, Jr., 1985. Friederich, at Walpack, Sussex Co., NJ by 1766.
According to Ruth (Bradford) Lacey, Fridrick was born 1720, married Anna Rosina Wollenben, was in the Revolutionary War, and died after 1787.
Barbara Covey said because the father of Frederick, John, and William C. Eveland was one of those so-called Connecticut pioneers, he served in the Revolution in the 4th Conn. Regt., along with Nathaniel Evans, Lois Evans' father. The father was named Frederick Eveland also, and he was the son of John b. 1704 in Morstadt, Palatinate, Germany.
Also, see the "Frederick Eveland of the Revolution" chapter that Barbara Covey, 2742 San Ramon Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90274, provided to Roy Leggitt on 21 June 1991.
This chapter indicates that Frederick Eveland died at Waynesville (Illinois) in 1838 and was buried on the farm of his grandson (William, son of William C.) which became Fremont Cemetery.

This is the research of Wayne V. Jones and Ruth Lacey on Fredrick Eveland . This work is open for discussion and I do not vouch for it's accuracy. Everyone should check out their own families for proof, sources and accuracy:
Fredrick Eveland was a son, almost certainly eldest son of John (NJW 1038), who was the eldest brother of Fredrich Ifland. Since his parents were married prior to May 15, 1738 (JAB), it is likely he was born in 1738/1739 or before. His qualifications as Administrator of his father's estate (NJW 103S : this could be a typo for NJW 1038) on June 3 1766 establishes that he was born prior to June 3 1745. He presumably was born in the log cabin of his parents on the west bank of the North Branch of the Raritan River in Bedminster Twp., Somerset Co. New Jersey. On Aug 14, 1766 (Somerset Co. Historical Quarterly) he and Catrina Evelant, probably his wife, were sponsors at the Old Reformed Dutch Church at Walpeck, Sussex Co., N.J., at the baptism of Catrina, a daughter of Jan van gorden. (New York Gen.& Biographical Records)
He was included in a "List of Settlers on the Susquehanna, December 1771", made by Zebulon Butler and Stephen Fuller, as " Eveland, Fredrick-15th" (HHWB 715/6). The 15th appears to be his date of arrival." Eveland, Fred'k" was one of the 215 settlers at Susquehanna in May 1772 (HHWB 732). At a town meeting at Wilkes Barre on March 2 1774 he was named one of the fence viewers for the ensuing year (HHWb 794) and in August 1776 he was a tax payer in the Plymouth District, Town of Westmoreland,Conn. (HHWB 877). All during this period he was living at Plymouth in the Wyoming Valley of "Connecticut".
He served in the 4th Connecticut Regiment as Corporal and Sargent beginning January 1 1777 in the companies of Captains Ransom and Durkee. He was recorded in this company, raised in Westmoreland, and extant payrolls show he was paid $7 and 1/3 for service as Corporal August 1 to Sept. 1777 and $8 for service as Sgt., Sept. 1 to Oct. 1777 (NAM). Captains Ransom and Durkee were killed, and he is shown by a succession of four muster rolls, January to May 1782, as " Fredrick Eveland,Sgt." in the 2nd Independent Company commanded by Lieut. Simon Spaulding, three of the rolls showing he had enlisted for the duration of the war (NAMR). Captains Spaulding's Company was stationed at Wilkes Barre, August 1778 to January 1781 except for two or three brief expeditions.(HHWB 980). On July 16, 1780 Col. Zebulon Butler sent him as a messenger to Mr. Wm. Stewart to expedite the arrival of "flower" as the garrison had been out of flour for 8 days (HWB 1254). On January 23, 1781 he is a signer of a petition protesting an order to move Capt. Spaulding's Company to New York because it would leave their homes unprotected. This petition states the signers had enlisted in 1776 (SP 79-81). They replaced a New Jersey company as a result of the protest, and on February 25, 1781 they marched to General Washington's army on the Hudson River (HWB 1274-5) A Bill of Losses sustained by the inhabitants of the Town of Westmoreland, July 3, 1778 to May 1780, shows that he suffered losses of 90 pounds 6 shillings. After being "carefully examined" by the Selectmen of the Town it was filed in the Secretary's office and was never acted upon (SP 348-9) It is apparent from the above that he enlisted late 1776 and served at least until 1781 and very probably for the reminder of the Revolutionary War.
With the winding down of the Revolutionary War the Pennamite- Yankee War revived and things were not developing as the Connecticut (Yankee) settlers had hoped. As a result on February 12, 1783 Fredrick Eveland , his son Fredrick Junior, and several others to whom he became related by marriage later on, were signers of a petition to the Assembly of New York for permission to settle on lands along the Susquehanna in New York (HWB 1312-15) After considerable delay their request was approved and implemented. On March 21,1787 " Fredrick Eveland of Shawney in the county of Luzerne sold to Benjamin Harvey a lot of land in Shawnee for 30 pounds" (ROL3:313), and on April 10, 1789 " Fredrick Eveland of Plymouth in the Susquehanna Purchase conveyed lands on ' Shawnee Flats' to Benjamin Harvey (HWB 1563). He was ready to move. His grandson, Nathaniel, son of his son Fredrick, was born in New York between June 1, 1787 and May 31, 1788 (CF), indicating they moved to Canfield Corners in the Town of Nichols, Tioga County, New York. (HTC) on the south bank of the Susquehanna. On July 20, 1792 "Fredrick Eveland in the town of Owaga(Owego),County of Tioga", New York. conveyed lots in Plymouth, Luzerne Co. ,Pa. to Benjamin Harvey (RDL 2:148/9) . When Tioga County was formed in 1791 the town of Owego was located where the town of Tioga now is, but in 1813 the two towns switched names (HGT). He lived in " Yates Location" in the present town of Tioga, a fact which caused many of his descendants to think he had lived in Yates County, N. Y.. He was not joined by a wife in the 1787 and 1792 deeds, suggesting she was deceased. She well could have been killed in the Wyoming Massacre in 1778.( Note: this is not a proven fact) .
He moved to Washington County, Northwestern Territory, (now Ohio ) prior to March 8, 1797 when he acquired a tract in the Wolfe Creek Allotment of "Donations of Lands" (Ohio Land Grants) Also moving at this time were his son Fredrick. On March 17, 1797 in Washington Co.N.W. Territory, he married Nancy Lee (NWQ). She probably was of the Lee family of Walpeck, Sussex Co., N.J., into which his sister Antje Eveland had married (NYGBR). In 1800 he was in " Middletown", an area in Washington County larger than the present county (CWC) While his family settled in Stockport, now Morgan County, Ohio, he was not there by 1810 when he was over 70 years of age. Extensive search of census indices in all even faintly plausible states failed to locate him in 1810, 1820, or 1830. He must have been living in a household of which he was not the head.
When he next is positively identified he was in McClean County, Illinois and married a Miss Brock (DAR) as his third wife. They were living near Waynesville, probably in the family of Andrew Brock, who come from Indians to Funk's Grove, Tazwell (now McClean) Co. in 1829 and who in 1830 entered a 100 acre farm just north of Waynesville (PAD). On September 5 ,1837 his grandson William Eveland, son of William C. Eveland, purchased a 120 acre farm northeast of Waynesville, 40 acres in Sec.10 and 80 acres in Sec.15-T21N-R1E (RDM). Probably Fredrick had married Miss Brock and then came to Illinois with the Brock family, but it is possible he had come with his grandson and then married Miss Brock.
He died in 1838 in Waynesville (DAR) Twp., DeWitt Co.,Illinois and was buried in the sec.10 part of his grandson's farm, which became known as Fremont Cemetery or alternately as the Brock Farm Cemetery (DAR), as a result of the later purchase of the tract by a younger Andrew Brock. He was known to have had five sons by his first wife: Fredrick Jr., John, William C., Amos, and Brazillia, probably a sixth son Lawrence. There could have been other children, particularly daughters, who have not been identified. William C. and Brazilla had moved from Tioga Co. N.Y., to the town of Milton, Cayuga Co. , New York, with the Daniel Swartz family, parents-in-law of William C., but later joined the rest of the family in Ohio . (BHBE)

General Notes: A legend of Priscilla Estes, as told by descendants of Priscilla's daughter Elizabeth, and is recorded in the book " Down Through the Stopplebein, Stufflebeam Years" by John F Stufflebeam.
"When William Stufflebeam's mother-in-law, (Elizabeth's mother), was about eight years old, her mother and father and one or two small children took the ox team and went to the mill to get some corn ground; for practically the only bread they had in those days was bread made from corn. Leaving her and another girl about 12 years old, a grown girl, and a grown boy about 16 or 17 years old, respectively. The parents would not be back for several days and warned them to keep a sharp lookout for Indians. It was the next day after the parents had left to go to the mill, that the grown boy hoeing potatoes a short distance from the house, with his gun nearby. a small band of about 50 Indians in full war paint , came out of the woods nearby and attacked him. He shot and killed one Indian, which of course enraged the rest of them. They immediately killed and scalped him. This the girls saw from the house and when the Indians started toward them they hid in an old four poster bedstead, next to the outside wall of the log cabin. Somehow the Indians failed to find them there The girls watched from between the cracks in the logs to see what the Indians would do next. Finally a lone Indian found the older girl hiding, and began to attack her, but she fought so hard with a hunting knife that she used to make pegs for her loom, that he called out to another Indian. Between them they killed and scalped her. Then they started to leave without burning the buildings, when this young girl of 8 said, "I want to go with you." She immediately got out of her hiding place and ran after the Indians. There was a commotion among the Indians and an old Squaw stepped out and took hold hand and started to lead her toward to the band. Then a warrior was determined to kill her and probably would have succeeded in doing so, but just then another Indian, apparently the leader of the band, interfered. After listening to the old squaw's babble for a moment, he spoke sharply to the other Indian who put up his tomahawk. The band then moved on taking the little girl with them."
She lived with the Indians for about 8 years before being rescued by white soldiers accompanied by scouts, hunters, trappers and Indian fighters. "This girl was struck across the head with a saber and at first was thought to be dead. It turned out to be a glancing blow, however and only stunned her, but left a deep scar across the top of her head. Elizabeth's daughter, Lucinda in later years said that as you combed her grandmothers hair that many times the comb would drop in the the old saber scar."
"As soon as she was able to travel, they took her back to the white settlement where she later married a man by the name of Miller and raised a family. One of the children was Elizabeth Miller who married William Stufflebeam."

General Notes: The quoted source, "Montross: a family history," page 33 contains the following:
FOURTH GENERATION
JOSEPH MONTROSS (parent: David Montross,)
b. 23 Jan. 1760 at Yorktown, Westchester Co., N.Y.
d. 23 Nov. 1827
m. 19 Feb. 1787 Sarah Griffin b. 9 May 1768 and d. 11 Nov. 1841
For 17 years after his marriage Joseph apparently farmed on rented land in Somers town, Westchester Co. Stephen Van Cortlandt's ledger shows a charge account against him for rent due 23 Mar. in each of the years 1792, 1793, and 1794 of Ł21 :7. A payment of Ł12 was made on the account 6 Nov. 1793 "by the hand of Capt. David Montross". Joseph's father. Joseph's name was on the jury roll in Somers for 1800.
On 16 Aug. 1804 Joseph bought from his father 105 acres in Somers for $1,000. He purchased an additional 39 acres from his brother Nathaniel 11 Apr. 1808 for $2,271 .37. He may have applied to the payment the $300 bequest his father left him in 1807.
The year before Joseph died he and his wife sold 20 acres off their land to John Travis of Somers for $700 tinder date of 2 Apr. 1826 - After his death his heirs sold the 105 acres at auction in 1829 to Daniel Underhill for $4,015.93.
Joseph left no will. His son-in-law Samuel Tompkins was appointed administrator. An inventory of the personal estate made 8 Jan 1828 was surprisingly small, totaling about $440. Some of the items were "one tabel $4 ; 1 iron kitte1 $2; 2 cows $30 ; one lot of pertaters in the ground $2; one pare of oxen $40; 5 hoggs $l8; one peace of wheat 8; one slay $3."
As a widow, Sarah lived with her daughter Catherine and son-in-law Samuel Tompkins, at whose house she died in 1841. She had the family Bible with her, and it passed down to her daughter Sarah Ann Tompkins, her granddaughter Deborah Jane Tompkins, and finally to her great-grand daughter Sarah Tompkins Baker, who made the entries available for this family history.
Samuel Tompkins was made executor of Sarah's will which, he testified, was found in her clothing. Special bequests were made as follows: one bed and bedding to Sarah Ann Flewelling, granddaughter; one trunk for Catherine Tompkins, daughter; a table and a copper teakettle for Permelia Flewelling, daughter; $20 for Jane Montross, the colored girl, if she lived to need it, otherwise for the children of her daughters Catherine and Permelia. The residue of the property was to be divided into 4 equal partt, one to go to the children of her son Jacob, one to the children of her son David, one to Samuel Tompkins, husband of her daughter Catherine, and one to her daughter Permelia Flewelling or her heirs to be handed to them as they needed it.
The amount which went to Permelia was $173.39. She and her son Aaron had petitioned 22 Apr. 1844 to have the legacy paid to them to pay the mortgage on their small farm. In the petition Permelia (signed Amelia) stated that her husband did little for the support of the family (there were 6 children); that she depended on her son Aaron (then about 20); that she was sometimes out of bread and flour and had to borrow small sums.
A share of the estate amounting to $38.65 for each was acknowledged by heirs of Sarah's son David, namely: William H. Montross, Charles A. Montross, Andrew J. Montross, Ambrose C. Montross, and Phebe H. Montross.

General Notes: The following are my original notes entered under the STUFFLEBEAM father of our ancestor William John Stufflebeam.
While I have not yet been able to make a positive connection, it appears the Stufflebeam ancestry is very probably connected to the same Palatine immigration path shared by the Evelands. The Palatine Families of New York - 1710, Henry Z. Jones, Jr. 1985, volume II, page 1002 contains the following:
PETER STOPPELBEIN (Hunter Lists #745)
The ancestral roots of this prolific Hudson Valley family were at 6531 Laubenheim (10 km. n. of Bad Kreuznach; Chbks. begin 1659). The grandfather of the emigrant Peter Stoppenbein was one Johannes Stoppelbein; he md. Elizabeth (--), who probably was the woman who died in 1666, aged 61 yrs., and called the mother of Han Valentin Stoppelbein in her obituary in the Laubenheim registers (HJ).
The text indicates the spelling Stoppelbein evolved into Stufflebeam. This text and the The Palatine Families of New York & New Jersey - Some Later Arrivals 1717 - 1776, also by Henry Z. Jones, Jr, pages 283-286 contain several generations of Stoppelbein line up to the early to mid 1700s, about the time of John Stufflebeam, our most distant known ancestor. Unfortunately his specific ancestry cannot be determined from the text. However, I am all but positive a connection can be made. The naming patterns are just too similar. Georg (George), Johann (John), Elisabeth, Margaretha (Margaret), Jacob, Henrich (Henry), Jeremias (Jeremiah) are all mentioned in the first three generations.
There is a Johannes Stoppelbein, bpt. 1746 - sponsors Joonis Philipp and Catherine Philipp (Claverack Ref. Churchbook); the Bible (see below) states he was b. 20 Jan 1746.
If this turns out to be our John Stufflebeam, his parents would be (Georg) Michael Stoppelbein (bpt. 17 Oct 1717) and Gertraud Blass, married 1742.
Georg was the son of Johannes Stoppelbein (1681 - 25 March 1736) of Laubenheim. Married 4 March 1710 to Ottila, daughter of Nicholas Schleythess, who was baptised 18 April 1675. Johannes married Anna Elisabetha Pott from Dormsheim on 1 March 1729.
Johannes was the son of Georg Michael Stoppelbein (1657 - 1723) who married Agnes, daughter of Johannes Enders in 1680.
Georg was the son of Johann Valentin Stoppelbein (1632 - 1688) who married Magdalena (1639 - 1666).
Johann was the son of the Johannes Stoppelbein who married Elisabetha. They are mentioned in the first part of this text.
For future reference, Jones mentions he was greatly helped by the materials furnished by Lee N. Stufflebeam, Jr. of Hampton, Virginia. Of particular value, besides his counsel on the complexities of the German background of the family, was Lee's sharing a photocopy of the data from the old Family Bible of Johannes Stopplebin, son of Georg Michael Stopplebein.

Dear Roy,
It was surprising to see my name quoted on the web.
Upon further research I have determined that our JOHN STUFFLEBEAM'S parents were JOHANNES STOPPELBEIN and EVA DINGMAN not GEORG MICHAEL and GERTRAUD BLASS.
As the five male STOPPELBEIN'S who emigrated to America were all related this change of parentage does not change the fact that we were desended from the original JOHANNES (ca 1600) and his wife ELIZABETH.
If you do not have a copy of the STOPPELBEIN information from Germany and Colonial New York I gave to Hank Jones years ago I can send it to you.
I'm new at computers and E-Mail. I have a Family Tree Maker that I'm in the process of posting my information on. I have the STOPPELBEIN part done and if you wish I can make a file and send to you.
Please reply to-----leestufflebeam@netscape.net-----as that is where I keep my genealogy correspondence.
Sincerely,
Lee N. Stufflebeam, Jr 12

General Notes: The quoted source, "Montross: a family history," pages 18-20 contains the following:
THIRD GENERATION
DAVID MONTROSS (parent: Henrick Montross,)
b. 1724 at Philipshurgh, Westchester Co., N.Y.; bp. 25 Apr. 1724 at Tarrytown, N.Y., wit. by Canel and Janitie Davids
d. 1807; bur. in old Presbyterian burying ground between Yorktown and Yorktown Heights, Westchester Co. Inscription erroneously gives death date as 1805, aged 83 ); his will was dated 28 Feb. 1806 and proved 5 Mar. 1807.
m.(name unknown)
David was brought as a young child by his parents from Philipsburgh Manor to the Van Cortlandt Manor shortly after it was opened for settlement in 1734.
The Van Cortlandt Manor, lying to the north and east of Philipsburgh Manor, was a tract ot about 85,000 acres extending 10 miles along the Hudson River northward from the mouth of the Croton River just north of Ossining to the northern boundary of Westchester Co. It extended 20 miles eastward to the Connecticut border. By authority of the King of England, the property was purchased from the Indians by Stephanus Van Cortlandt (1643~l700), merchant and first American-born mayor of New York City. The manor passed to his son John (1672~l734?), who died without issue, and then to his son Philip (1683-1746). It was then that active settlement began. After Philip's death the manor house and the western part (Cortlandt and Yorktown towns) went to Pierre Van Cortlandt (1721-1814), while the eastern part (Somers, North Salem, and part of Lewisboro towns) went to Stephen Van Cortlandt (l710-1756).
This manor was distinct from the Van Cortlandt estate in Yonkers, which in 1889 was purchased by New York City and made into Van Cortlandt Park. The Yonkers estate was assembled by a younger brother of Stephanus, Jacob Van Cortlandt (b. 1658).
Still a third Van Cortlandt estate lay in New Jersey, most of the land being in Second River (later Belleville, now part of Newark). It was held by a grandson of the original Stephanus Van Cortlandt, John Van Cortlandt (1721-1786). This John Van Cortlandt and his son John, Jr., (1764-1793) were close business associates of David Montross.
David Montross first appears in history as a merchant, 34 years of age. The day book of John Van Cortlandt kept at Belleville, NJ., contains an account with David Montross, the extant portion showing dealings from 8 Mar. 1758 to 20 Feb. 1762. David's purchases consist of imported commodities - sugar, coffee, molasses, indigo, rice, rum, buckles. His payments, apart from cash or notes, consist of locally produced commodities - wheat, butter, tallow, pork, and "1 fatt ox". One entry, on 2 June 1761, shows that David had dealings with a Peter Montross, who apparently received by error from David for the Van Cortlandt account Ł30, when no money was owing. This Peter was probably the son of his first cousin Peter Montras.
It is interesting to note that the wholesale price of sugar was 31 cents a pound ($5 to the Ł) in 1758 and 34 cents in 1760; molasses sold at 75 cents a gallon in 1758 and coffee at 22 cents a pound; rum brought 93 cents a gallon in 1760 and 89 cents in 1761.
The business relationship between David Montross and John Van Cortlandt remained close for many years. The letter book of Stephen and John Van Cortlandt, 1771-1792, contains a letter from John Van Cortlandt to David, dated 17 Aug. 1771, which illustrates the details which had to be handled before the days of organized markets. Van Cortlandt acknowledged David's notification that Maybee could not "serve" him and stated that he would see Stricklin on Long Island instead; he asked David to have Frost send to Stricklin a consignment of furniture, tea, cotton, milk pails, indigo, and a scythe, which goods had already been despatched to David on the Lyon schooner.
Twenty years later David was acting for John Van Cortlandt, Jr., in negotiations over leases of farms on the manor, On 17 Dec. 1791 Van Cortlandt set forth the terms on which he would turn over to a new tenant a farm then occupied by Benjamin Golden. David had informed him that Golden was "partly willing" to sell and that the prospective buyer (not named) would make a good tenant. Van Cortlandt replied that he would "indulge" Golden to sell if Golden paid the arrears in rent amounting to Ł100 and planted 100 apple trees. Tenants might sell the buildings but title to the land remained with the owner of the manor.
On 21 June 1792 in a letter addressed to Capt. David Montross, Van Cortlandt announced that S. Brady would not accept a certain offer and commissioned David to offer the soil-right to any person who would pay Ł550 in cash or Ł600 payable at the rate of Ł100 a year "with interest for the whole sum".
We have no record of when or how David obtained his farm of 371 1/2 acres in Somers town on the north bank of the Croton River, He sold 105 acres to his son Joseph 16 Aug. 1804 for $1,000, and the remainder went by bequest to his son Jacob in 1807.
As early as 1760 David was serving in the militia, being one of 37 men in the 5th Company of the Northern Battalion of Westchester County. In 1775 he was a captain and apparently very popular with his men: when the Continental Congress ordered a complete reorganization of the militia, his men refused any new choice of officers. The record states: "The Company commanded by David Montross refused to chuse officers". How long he remained captain we do not know although, as noted above, John Van Cortlandt addressed him as Captain in 1792. In 1778 his son John was an ensign in a company commanded by Samuel Delivan, and in 1779 his son Adam was 2nd lieutenant in a company commanded by Abraham Buckhout .
One of David's slaves, Jack. was apprehended by the county's Commission for Detecting Conspiracies in 1777. Elias Montross appeared before the Commission on 1 March apparently to obtain Jack's release. After Elias voluntarily took the oath of allegiance to New York State, the Commission handed Jack over to be delivered to his master. This Elias Montross is not otherwise known. He may have been a trusted slave of David or even a former slave who had been freed and was treated as such by the Commission. If he was a son of David, he apparently died before 1790 and left no issue living in 1807. The inventory of David's estate taken after his death included "one old negro man aged upwards of fifty years and one negro girl aged about 10 years".
After the close of the Revolutionary War, we get a glimpse of David as an official of Somers town. On 2 Apr. 1788 he was chosen at the town meeting's first session as fence and damage viewer; in the same year he was elected assessor and on': of the 15 overseers of highways. The tax list of 5 Apr. 1779 for Cortlandt Manor (which included Somers) shows David taxed Ł55 on real estate (worth Ł1,100) and Ł46.12s. on personal property (worth Ł1,864).
When the first census was taken, in 1790, David appears in Stephentown (now Somers) with one other male over 16 and 2 females. Besides David and his wife, the household probably consisted of Nathaniel, aged 20, and his wife, whom he had married the year before. There were 5 slaves. All other sons and daughters, except Jacob, were married, the sons and the daughters' husbands appearing in the census as heads of families. Jacob may have been in New Jersey (census records for 1790 not extant) with John Van Cortlandt, with whom we know he had mercantile dealings in that year
By 1800 David had a larger household - 7 besides himself. His wife was no longer living since there was no female over 45. Nathaniel had moved away and had a household of his own. David's household probably included Jacob and his wife Elizabeth Belden, who were married in 1794, and at least one of their children. There were other young people in the household, 2 of whom cannot be children of Jacob by this marriage, which was contracted when he was 31. Two might have been children by an earlier marriage, a son and a daughter, who were not 20 named among the minor children of Jacob in 1812. Two other boys, under 10 years of age, could be sons of Jacob and Elizabeth but, if so, they died before 1812.
On David's death in 1807 he left the farm on which he was then living to Jacob. The rest of his estate, both real and personal, went equally to Jacob and Nathaniel, who were charged with the payment of the following legacies: to his son Adam $1,250; to his son Joseph $500; to his daughter Elizabeth who married Gabriel Higgins $375 to be paid out by the executors as they think proper, the residue after her death to go to her daughters Sally and Polly; to his daughter Winnifred who married John Pell Sutton $125; to Phebe, widow of his deceased son John, $250 to be dealt out to her as the executors may think proper; to Jacob's daughter Sally Ann "the bed and bedding I now lie on, together with the furniture around it"; and to Nathaniel's son David (b. 1805) after his becoming of age $500 - in case of his decease before he became of age, this legacy to go to his brothers and sisters.
Note: The order and approximate birth dates of those children whose birth dates are not at record are estimated from the following considerations, the bases for which are set forth in their separate sketches: John's wife was born before 1755; Adam was 56 when he died 29 Apr. 1811; Winnifred was married in 1773, age at marriage estimated at 19; Jacob was born before 1765 and married in 1794; Elizabeth had a daughter born by 1784.

The Book of Names Especially Relating to The Early Palatines and the First Settler in the Mohawk Valley, Compiled and Arranged by Lou D. MacWenthy, 1961 contains a section called The Kocherthal Records which quotes records published in the Lutheran Quarterly published at Gettysburg, Pa. Reverend Kocherthal was the pastor of the Palatines in West Camp and Schoharie. He received permission to accompany the Palatines in 1708 and came to England from the lower Palatinate, from whence in 1709 he embarked for America with ten families consisting of 41 persons. He returned to London and in 1710 accompanied the second migration.
Under Baptisms in the upper German Colonies the following records are of interest:

JOHANN DAVID IFFLANDT (Hunter Lists #341) David Yslant, his wife, and 1 child were on Capt. Jno. Unthank's ship in Holland in the 5th party of Palatines in 1709 (Rotterdam Lists).
Johann David Ifflandt made his first appearance on the Hunter Lists 1 July 1710 with 2 persons over 10 years and 1 person under 10. The notation showed 2 over 10 and 2 under 10 25 March 1711, 3 over 10 years and 2 under 10 on 24 Jun 1712, and 2 over 10 and 3 under 10 years on 13 Sep 1712. Johann David Lieffland and his wife Anna Maria with 4 children were at Neu-Quunsberg ca. 1716/17 (Simmendinger Register). David Eveland settled on the Proprietor's land near John Readings's on the Rariton and desired a grant of about 200 acres, according to a notation dated 6 month 15th 1733 in Minute Bk. K of the Board of Property of the Province of PA. on 28 May 1737 he was deeded a track of land by the Penn family (Letter from Wayne V. Jones). David Eveline was a freeholder of Amwell in 1741 (Hunterdon County Freeholders). The will of David Eveland of Amwell Twp was dated 28 May 1753 and proved 9 Nov 1761 (NJ Wills: Lib. 11, p. 147).
Baptismal sponsor: Johann Schack, forester from Ludersdorf b. in Thann (Dan).
Johann David Ifflandt, son of Johannes Ifflandt of Mecklar in Hessen, married Rebecca, daughter of Johannes Schnneider, 2 Nov 1702 (Hochheim churchbook). Rebecca Schneider was confirmed 1693, aged 15 years at Hochheim. After their marriage, Johann David Ifflandt and Rebeca resided at Morstadt.
Much of the 2nd and 3rd generation material on this interesting family was supplied by Wayne V. Jones of Houston, TX; Mr. Jones has spent years collecting data on the family from old bibles and private sources and his contribution to this chapter is much appreciated (HJ).

1761, Oct 26. Inventory, (pounds) 145.3.1, made by Uriah Addoms and John Wolaver. Lib. 11, p. 147.
On 31 Dec 1991, I found another source. It is Hopkinson and Allied Families, Ancestors and Descendants of Junius Greeley Hopkinson and Perry Hopkinson and their wives Jeanette Eveland and Lois Amanda Moffett, by Laura Huffman, Aura M. and Alsey E. Hopkinson, 1965. It is available on UMI microfiche G4190. References to it in later generations will be indicated by "See Hopkinson".
It indicates that David Eveland was born about 1690 and settled on the Raritan River in New Jersey prior to 1733. He purchased a large tract of land in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, from the Penns, which at his death, by direction of his will, was sold to settle the estate. The land consists of much of the land that the county seat of Flemington now covers. He died in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, between 1753 and 1761. In his will he mentions his wife, "Mary Eveland and seven children".
Here are some notes provide to me by Delores Eveland of Cerritos, CA in 1994:
Johann David Iffland (aka Eveland), according to research done by Wayne Van Leer Jones (3), "was born in what is now Germany. He, with his wife and one child embarked at Rotterdam, Holland during the period July 3 to 10, 1709 and on July 15, 1709 they sailed for London, England in the 5th sailing of Palatines who were emigrating to England, at the invitation of Queen Ann, for later transfer to the English colonies in America. Undoubtedly they had come down the Rhine a month or two before and probably were in Rotterdam for several weeks before sailing.
"His name was misspelled as 'David Yslant' in the embarkation list, a spelling which has been verified by examination of the original list (by Wayne). The Iffland family were some of the 'poor Palatines' who had embarked on a heart- rending experience which, through no fault of their own, was to really try their souls. driven to leave their homeland by the ravages of war (or much less probably by religious persecution) and by the hardships occassioned by the unusually bitter winter of 1708-09 they went down the Rhine to Rotterdam and thence to London where they lived in what today would be called a refugee camp. Just after Christmas 1709 they embarked on one of a group of ten ships to go to America. The departure of these ships from England was long delayed and after more than three months on shipboard they finally sailed in a convoy on Apr. 10, 1710 from Portsmouth. The first ship arrived in New York on June 13, 1710 and the last one on August 2, 1710."
In New York "subsistence was provided to them by order of Queen Anne and under the local direction of Governor Hunter of New York ---." According to Wayne, detailed lists maintained during this period recorded each family, its size, the number of days subsistence and the amount. These lists have survived and track this family from June, 1710 through September, 1712. Those Journals and Ledgers are located in "CO 5/1230 Public Record Office, London, England. (3)"
During the period of subsistance the family first resided on Nutten (now Governor's) Island where many of the immigrants "were recovering from the epidemic of 'Palatine Fever' (typhus) from which hundreds died on shipboard and after arriving in New York.(3)" Later they moved up the Hudson River to an area referred to as Livingston Manor near the current towns of Germantown and Rhinebeck.
"The stay in the settlements along the Hudson was a period of continuing hardship. Each famlily lived in a hut constructed by itself as best it could and of its own design. They worked at times on the abortive Naval Stores scheme but had no real means of livelihood and were sustained most inadequately by a grafting contractor with the government funds which would have been inadequate under good management. In September, 1712 the funds for their support ran out and they were released from their obligations to the Crown and left to shift for themselves. Not only was this unfortuante for the individuals involved, but it brought to an end the fine record that had been kept of them.(3)"
"Just when the Iffland family left the Hudson River settlements and moved to West Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey is not known but it was during the period 1716-1722, since in 1722 David Eviland was one of the 'early settlers' of West Amwell Township.(3)"
Though most records in New Jersey spell the family name "Eveland," Johann David always signed his name "David Iffland.(3)" Other variations in spelling found are: Ephlin, Efland, Ephland, Ifland, and Iffland. The German pronunciation is Eafulandt (2).

In March 2004 Tom Wilson <Thomasecw@aol.com> posted an interesting message on my Eveland-L@Rootsweb message board:
... if you should ever do a genealogy trip to Flemington, New Jersey, there is a VAN BUSKIRK book under lock and key in the county library just north of town. The book cannot be checked out, but you are free to make photo copies of it.
The Hunterdon County Historical Society, located downtown between J. David's original home and the EVELAND bar, is open only one night a week (Thursday) between 7 and 9 p.m., so be prepared to write fast if you should go there. This is an incredible place to do family research.
One place I did not visit in Flemington (no time) was the Lutheran Cemetery located just west of town. The volunteers at the HCHS told me there are several EVELAND / IFFLANDT / EPHLAND cousins buried there dating to the 18th and 19th century. They were not aware of any EVELANDs living in Flemington today, and the phone book confirms that. If someone on this list lives close enough to Flemington, perhaps they could find some time to visit this cemetery, take some pictures and report back to our list.
Also, while in Flemington, J. David's home was located on the site where the Flemington Baptist Church stands today. When J. David died, his children sold it the home (1762). The buyer donated part of the land to the Baptist Church a couple of years later, making the church only the second owner since J. David died. The minister of the Baptist Church told me his boy scout troop was researching the IFFLANDT family, barely mentioned in the first chapter of the history of the church. 12

384. Hendrick Montras,6 son of Pierre Montras and Margaret Davids , was born about 1689 in Kingston, Ulster, New York, U.S.A. and died after 1724.
General Notes: The quoted source, "Montross: a family history," page 5 contains the following:
SECOND GENERATION
HENDRICK MONTROSS (parent: Pierre Montras)
b. abt. 1689, prob. at Kingston, N.Y,
d. after 1724
m. about 1713 Elizabeth Jeffers (Jeffries), prob. dau. of John Jeffries, against whom a judgment was rendered in New York City 28 Mar. 1671 in favor of Nicolaes Bayard for 52 florins, 10 stivers, for goods purchased but not paid for.
Hendrick was born while his father was still a Catholic and may have been baptized by a Jesuit missionary, following the custom of his father's friend, du Poitier. At any rate he was not given a delayed baptism in the Dutch Reformed Church at Kingston, as was his sister Margaret. He was taken by his parents about 1695 to Newtown on Long Island.
When Hendrick was about 14 years old his father died and his mother returned to Kingston, where she married Richard Reyster. Hendrick probably stayed with his grandparents Jean and Esther Davids in New York City, very likely engaging in some type of trade as his father before him and his son David after him. While there is no record of his marriage to Elizabeth Jeffers, whose family lived in or near New York, the couple continued to reside in that vicinity until after 6 Oct. 1714, when their first child, Margaret, was baptized in the Dutch Church in New York.
Hendrick and his family then removed to the vicinity of Tarrytown, N.Y., probably Ossining, where his mother's brothers, David and Carel Davids, had settled before 1697. Hendrick attended the Sleepy Hollow Dutch Church at Tarrytown and there his other 3 children were baptized. Hendrick's sister Margaret also attended this church, residing nearby with her husband Harmen Montras in the house of his father, Jan Harmse, in the Philipsburgh Manor.
The last record we have of Hendrick is the baptismal entry for his son David, 25 Apr. 1724. His flame does not appear on the 1723 map of Philipsburgh and Ossining made for the construction of the Albany Post Road. It is possible that he may have been living with one of his relatives instead of in a house of his own. It is probable that he moved to the Stephen Van Cortlandt Manor to the northeast, where his son David later appears as a merchant.

FIRST GENERATION
PIERRE MONTRAS
b. prob. abt. 1660 in France
d. bef. 13 June 1703
m. abt. 1688 Margaret Davids, dau. of Jean and Esther (Vincent) Davids
Pierre Montras, progenitor of the Montross family in America, was born into a world in which religious divided people into savagely warring camps. About 12 years before his birth, the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) ended the Thirty Years' War the bloodiest phase of the Catholic-Protestant conflict which had laid waste Europe and destroyed half the population of Germany. This was followed in France, where Pierre was born, by 5 years of civil war. The result in France was, generally, victory for the Catholic party, a victory which became more complete under the despotism of Louis XIV (reigned 1643-17l5). The king in 1685 revoked the Edict of Nantes (1598), which had assured Protestants (known in France as Huguenots) the right of worship within principalities ruled by Protestant princes -- a sort of religious local option. As this Edict was gradually weakened and finally revoked, many thousands of Huguenots fled to Holland, England, and America.
Pierre, however, was a Catholic. Why did he go to America? There is a note in the family Bible of Pierre's son John which states that he "fled from his native France for fear of persecution against the ----- titans [part of word lost]." This note was written in a later hand, probably that of a grandchild of Pierre, at a time when the family had long been Protestants, and the writer probably did not know that Pierre ever was a Catholic. Plainly the note is erroneous since Pierre, a Catholic, would not be driven from a Catholic country, but it probably uncovers an important clue to the earlier history of the family. A family tradition has it that the family fled from Scotland to France in the 16th century because of religious persecution. This note rings true if it is applied to a Catholic ancestor of Pierre who fled from Scotland to France. It must he regarded as evidence in support of the tradition.
When Pierre reached young manhood about 1680, prospects in France for a young man without powerful family connections were indeed bleak. Service in the numerous mercenary armies raised by wealthy and ambitious men proved attractive to thousands. But, during Pierre's childhood, another outlet for youthful adventure and possible wealth was opening up. While France had been torn with internal strife, the Spanish, Dutch, and English had been pushing colonial expansion in America and elsewhere. Louis XIV, partly under the influence of his minister Jean Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683), determined to make up for lost time by developing a new France in Canada.
In 1664 Colbert created the Company of the West, sometimes known as The Hundred Associates, to govern and trade in the French territory bordering the Gulf of and River St. Lawrence. A fund of 358,000 livres was created to assist it. Revenues were to come from a tax of 25 percent on beaver skins and 10 percent on deer skins. Merchants were licensed to trade in the furs, and taxes were received from collectors who paid contract prices for the right to collect the tax. Colbert's first agent, or "Intendant", Jean Talon (1625-1694) in 1665-68 and l670-73 worked for a broader base for the colony. Aiming ambitiously at 500 settlers a year, he built houses in Quebec and Montreal and offered to each settler 2 acres of land, with tools, food, and wages while he cleared the land. Shops, inns, and a brewery were established in Quebec. The growing of hemp for making clothes was insisted on. Several shiploads of "King's girls" were brought out to become wives of the settlers.
But the economic base of New France was and continued to be trade with the Indians, who brought furs and took in exchange cloth, ornaments, and often firearms and brandy, all of which were imported from old France. Since this trade, as stated above, was strictly licensed and taxed, the situation was ready-made for bootlegging. The more adventurous spirits took to the woods in canoes laden with goods purchased from the merchants, met the Indians in the wilderness, and there effected exchange to cargoes of furs. These they sold surreptitiously to the merchants tax-free, or they might even bypass the merchants and sell to ship captains with false bottoms in their ships. These bootleggers were known as coureurs de bois ("forest runners"). So numerous were they that, at one time, the drain on the towns was estimated at one fourth of the effective male population. The coureurs de bois, who were often absent a year or more, lived like the Indians and sometimes with them.
It was to this kind of life that Pierre took when, about 1680, he migrated from France to Montreal - a strategic point in the fur trade since at this point two great rivers, the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence, converge. Montreal at that time was a walled village of fewer than 1,000 inhabitants lying on the north shore of the St Lawrence River. A drawing of the village as it was about 1680-90 shows 82 houses within the wall and 12 outside. Other buildings include a church, the administration building, a wind-powered mill, a hospital, and a fort. Some of the houses appear to have cultivated plots. Outside the wall are two large walled plots apparently used as farms lying west of the village toward the 700-foot eminence known as Mount Royal. All buildings have steep gable roofs to shed the snow. Houses were of frame construction, with doors of red, blue, or purple. The village was 44 years old in 1680.
It is possible, but by no means certain, that Pierre worked for a while as a carpenter. A list of carpenters who worked in Fort Frontenac on 14 Aug. 1684 is extant. It contains the name "Monrouse". No first name is given. Fort Frontenac was 165 miles up the St. Lawrence where Kingston, Ont. now stands. It was in 1684 that La Barre, Governor of Canada from 1682 to 1685, hurriedly repaired the fort as an incident to an abortive expedition he led against the Seneca Indians. His force of 100 French soldiers, 700 colonial volunteers, and a few hundred Mission Indians was decimated by disease. There was no fighting, but the white man was worsted in the parleys. We cannot tell whether the carpenter was actually Pierre Montras, disguised in erratic spelling, but he may have been. There is no record of this man in the Montreal church records, just as there is none of Pierre Montras.
It may be assumed that Pierre took to the woods as a coureur de bois. Living in or near Montreal was the family of a French Huguenot Jean Davids and his wife Esther Vincent. They had a daughter Margaret, who was about Pierre's age. Jean Davids, who was about 20 years older than Pierre, was seldom home. For 20 years or more, he had traveled and lived with the Indians along the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. When Kingston, N.Y., was attacked on 7 June 1663 by the Esopus Indians and many of the inhabitants captured, the citizens enlisted the services of Jean Davids and some Mohawk Indians to negotiate for the return of the prisoners.
There can be little doubt that Pierre became acquainted with Jean Davids on one of the latter's visits to his family and that this acquaintance led to Pierre's going into the wilderness with him on the trail to Kingston. Any scruple Pierre may have had in associating with a Hugnenot was probably lost in the freemasonry of the forest - and by thought of Jean's attractive daughter Margaret
Why did these coureurs de bois choose Kingston as their base of operations instead of Montreal? There were a number of advantages in dealing with English posts. For one thing, the trading operations were not illegal in the English settlements, they were in French Canada, where arrest might legally bring penalties as severe as a public whipping, although in practice enforcement was very lax. A second more important advantage was that English manufactured goods were cheaper and better than French goods. Kingston was one of the most convenient English bases since it could be readily reached by canoe via Lake Champlain and the Hudson River.
As early as 1638, trade in Kingston (then Witwyck) was freed from the restrictions which the early grantees (patroons) had imposed, and practically all the settlers became Indian traders for furs, many of them hiring coureurs de bois (known as bosloopers by the predominantly Dutch population) to meet the Indians on their way down the Hudson with their furs.
At long last, Jean Davids brought his family to Kingston, probably in the summer of 1687; he had a son Daniel baptized in the Dutch Church there on 2 October of that year and took the oath of allegiance in Ulster Co. in 1689. Pierre's marriage to Margaret Davids took place about this time or in the next year. If Pierre bad been a Protestant, we should likely have had a record of his marriage and of the baptism of his first child, Hendrick, who was born about 1689. These ceremonies may well have been performed by Jesuit missionary who, like the coureurs de bois, lived among the Indians. Such was the course taken by a Catholic friend of Pierre's, a well known trader who had brought his family from Montreal about 1675 and was in Saratoga, north of Kingston, in 1689. This friend was Jean Baptiste du Poitier, Sieur du Buisson, who was to act as godfather to Pierre's second child, Margaret Montras,
Du Poitier was born in Amiens, France, about 1650, son of Pierre du Poitier and Helene de Belleau. He married in 1672, probably in Quebec, Elizabeth Jossard, daughter of Gaspard Jossard and Marie Deschamp of Paris. His wife may have been one of the "King's girls".
Du Poitier may well have been initiated into forest life by Jean Davids. He quickly saw the advantage of trading through the English centers. He operated from Harlem, N.Y., in 1677, where he appears in court as a Witness to an oral bargain. The next year, in Flushing, Long Island, he drew the will of Simon de Ruine, a Protestant Walloon land-owner there. He had a daughter born in Flushing in 1678; was back in Harlem in 1681; on Staten Island until 1685 or later; and then operated in Saratoga. While he was there, an order for his arrest was issued by the Albany County authorities on the ground that he was intending to transport his family to Canada and had carried on a secret correspondence with the French there; hence should not be allowed to live in the county. Du Poitier then went to Kingston in Ulster County, where he remained until 1699. At that time he did take his family back to Montreal, purchased a house, and regularized his standing with the Church by executing an affidavit telling where and by whom his children had been baptized "in the heretical country around Manhattan". In 1711 he was sent as commander of the French fort at Detroit to meet an expected English attack.
To return to Pierre. He and Margaret had a second child, Margaret, born 25 June 1691. She was not baptized for another 2 years since there was division of opinion in the family as to where she should be baptized. Strong pressure was apparently being brought on Pierre to renounce Catholicism and join the Dutch Reformed Church. His wife and her family finally prevailed. After the birth of their third child, Angelique, on 6 Nov. 1693, Margaret and Angelique were both baptized on 13 November in the Dutch Church. After the record of the baptism of Margaret appears the note "This child was born the 25 June 1691, but was not baptized before because they [the parents] were Roman Catholics". From that time Montross descendants have, with rare exceptions, been Protestants.
Jean Davids and his wife might have been expected to be witnesses to these baptisms in the Protestant Church. However, they had previously removed to New York city and joined the Huguenot Church of the Holy Spirit, where on 22 April 1694 they had baptized their youngest and last child, Daniel.
Du Poitier witnessed the baptism of the 2-year-old Margaret, and his wife Elizabeth Jossard witnessed the baptism of the infant Angelique. Their Catholicism was not so rigid as to prevent their acting as godparents in a Protestant Church to the children of their friends Pierre Montras and his wife. A second witness to Margaret's baptism was Margaret Rinkout, wife of Jean Fort; the second witness to the baptism of Angelique was Jean Petit. The entire baptismal party appears to have been French. The Forts and Petits were apparently Huguenots since they had their own children baptized in the Protestant Church.
Pierre and his family left Kingston before 24 Oct. 1695, when their fourth child, John, was born, and went to Newtown on long Island. The record of baptisms in the Dutch Church at Newtown prior to 1708 have been lost, but John's birth date is recorded in his family Bible. We know that the family lived in Newtown because their 5th child, Resule, when marrying FransVan Dyck in New York City 8 Dec. 1713 gave her birthplace as "N.Tuyn".
Pierre died about 1702. His death is not recorded; that he died early we know as there is on record in Kingston the marriage on 13 June 1703 of "Margriet Montras, widow of Pieter Montras".
Pierre's widow was left in 102 or 1703 with 5 children (Angelique had probably died) ranging in age from 14 years to 3 years. She turned for assistance to her relatives. Her parents lived in New York City. They apparently kept Hendrick, the eldest, who married Elizabeth Jeffers of New York about 1712. They probably took Resule (aged 6) who married Frans Van Dyck in New York City in 1713. Veronica (aged 3) was likely left with her two brothers, David and Carel Davids, and her sister Angelica Davids, all of whom had settled on the east bank of the Hudson near what is now Ossining, N.Y. This was in a tract known as Philipsburgh, the manor of Frederick Philipse of New York City, who, after receiving a royal patent, was actively seeking settlers on a rent-free basis. Margaret (aged 11) doubdess joined the Davids household in Philipsburgh also but this did not last long. Harmen, the 18-year-old son of another settler, Jan Harmse, met her and married her the same year. The widowed Margaret appears to have kept John (aged 8) and taken him with her to Kingston, where he later met his future wife, Margaret Schut.
In Kingston Margaret married on 13 June 1703 Richard Reyster, a young man from Westminster, England. Apparently there were no children of this union; neither Margaret nor Richard appears again in the records.
Note by RCL: Gerry Coulson <gcoulson@telus.net> has an online datbase on Rootsweb/Ancestry.com named Coulson Family. That database contains an extremely detailed genealogy of many of the descendants of Pierre Montras. Many of his references are to Montross: A Family History. Thus, rather for me to reenter my late wife's Montross ancestry directly from that text, I accepted Mr. Coulson's offer to download a gedcom file from his online database. When I imported those genealogy records into my database I included him as the source. I thank Gerry Coulson very much for the work he has done on this line.
I have only included the direct ancestors and siblings of my late wife, Della Elaine Eveland, whose mother was Ethelyn Rose Montross. For researchers wanting information on other Montross lines, I highly recommend Gerry Coulson's online database at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=:1969955.

A NAME IS BORN
The Dutch and the Norwegians used a "patronymic" naming system in which the father's first name became the children's last name, so there was no such thing as a "family name" that passed from one generation to the next. Under this system, the surname of Dirck's children was Dircks (sometimes spelled Dirckse or Dirckx). In the following generation, his son Volkert's children had surnames based on Volkert - variations that included Volkerts, Volkertse, Folkerts, Folkertse, Volkertson and Folkertson. In 1664, four years before Volkert married, the British seized the colony from the Dutch and the patronymic system was slowly replaced by the English system of permanent family names. Generally, by the fourth and fifth generations we adopted an English version of the name, FULKERSON.
Dirck married Christine VIGNE in 1630/31, daughter of Guillaume VIGNE and Adrienne CUVELIER The Vignes were among the first 30 French Walloon families the Dutch West India Company imported to establish the New Netherlands colony in 1624. [By the way, Peter MINUIT was not Dutch...he was a French Walloon like the Vignes.] 13
Dirk married Christina Vigne 13 about 1625 in Long Island, Kings, New York. Christina was born about 1605 in Valenciennes, Nord, France, 13 died on 21 Feb 1663 in Bushwyck, Kings, New York 13 about age 58, and was buried on 27 Feb 1663 in Noorman's Kill, Long Island, Kings, New York. 13
The child from this marriage was:
523 i. Magdalena Dircks Volckertsen (born about 1632)
1047. Christina Vigne,13 daughter of Guillaume Vigne and Adrianne Cuvellier , was born about 1605 in Valenciennes, Nord, France, 13 died on 21 Feb 1663 in Bushwyck, Kings, New York 13 about age 58, and was buried on 27 Feb 1663 in Noorman's Kill, Long Island, Kings, New York. 13
General Notes: Dirck and Christine lived on her parents' farm, at the south end of Broadway, until 1638. Christine's father died in 1632, and Dirck and his mother-in-law were named executors of the will, as recorded below:
"We, the underwritten, William WYMAN, blacksmith and Jan Thomaisen GROEN, as good men do attest and certify that before us appeared Dirck VOLCKERSON, the Norman and Ariantje CEVELYN, his wife's mother in order to agree with her children by her lawful husband, deceased; she gives to Maria VIGNE and Christine VIGNE, both married persons each the sum of 200 guilders as their share of their father's estate. To Rachel VIGNE and Jan VIGNE both minor children, each the sum of 33 guilders, under the condition that with her future husband, Jan Jansen DAMEN, she shall be held to keep the said two children in good support, until the come of age, and that she shall be obliged to clothe and feed them and make them go to school as good parents are bound to do." 13
Christina married Dirk Norman Volckertsen 13 about 1625 in Long Island, Kings, New York. Dirk was born about 1595 in Bergen, Bergen, Norway, 13 died on 24 Apr 1680 in Long Island, Kings, New York 13 about age 85, and was buried on 28 Apr 1680 in Noorman's Kill, Long Island, Kings, New York. 13

General Notes: The Thomas Osborne text indicates that another Thomas Osborn, the sone of John and Thomasin Osborne, was born at Ashford in 1595, and it is possible, but unlikely, that he, and not the son of Jeremy, was the American settler. But, as David Lines Jacobus has pointed out, circumstanial evidence favors Jeremy's son. For instance, he was known from Jeremy's to have been a tanner, and his second son was named Jeremiah, after his father. John's son named his fourth son Jeremiah.
After 1636 the family disappears from the Ashford records. Richard Osborne in his 1646 will names his own children and those of his brother Joseph but makes no mention of Thomas or his children, probably because they had removed to America.
Thomas and Richard Osborn arrived in Boston on June 26, 1637. They and the entire New Haven Colony stayed in Boston until the spring of 1638 when they continued on to the area where they Founded the town of New Haven, Connecticut. The entire trip is described in the book "The Colony of New Haven*" by Edward E. Atwater. The book describes life in England at the time, why they wanted to come to America, the trip aboard ship, and the way the land in New Haven was divided up.
(* The text was digitized in 2001 and is now viewable at the following URL: http://invictus.quinnipiac.edu/colony.html - Page 136-7 says: According to the schedule of 1641, the proprietors of the south-west square were, at that time, William Fowler, Peter Prudden, James Prudden, Edmond Tapp, Widow Baldwin, An Elder, Richard Platt, Zachariah Whitman, and Thomas Osborne. The town records show that the lot reserved for an elder had been originally assigned to Timothy Baldwin, who, removing to Milford, sold his allotment to the town. As no land within this square has been traced to Thomas Osborne, it may be inferred that he sold to Mr. Fowler at an early date, and before a record of alienation was required. Mr. Osborne owned and occupied a house and tanyard on the south side of George Street, between Broad and Factory Streets, doubtless preferring this location to his original allotment because of the facilities it afforded for his vocation as a tanner. He afterward became one of the first planters of Easthampton on Long Island; but this property, being given to one of his sons, remained in the name of Osborne far into the nineteenth century. With the exception of Osborne, the original grantees of this square removed to Milford. As they had all emigrated from Herefordshire, or its vicinity, the square was for some years designated as the Herefordshire quarter.)
History of New Haven County edited by J. L. Rockey, 1892, page 7-9 tells that the party of fifty men and another 200 women and children were part of the company of the Reverend John Davenport arriving on the Hector and her consort. The company was composed of men of wealth, education and influence. Almost immediately upon arrival there was civil and religious conflict with the current residents of Massachusetts. In the spring of 1638 the company moved on to settle the Colony of New Haven.
History of New Haven Colony, Edward R. Lambert, 1838, page 54 indicates that Planter Thomas Osborne was responsible for six persons and had an estate valued at 300 pounds. Richard Osborne was responsible for three persons and had an estate valued at 10 pounds.
East Hampton History Including Genealogies of Early Families, by Jeannette Edwards Rattray, 1953, contains detailed genealogies of our Osborn family and many of the collateral lines. However, before I cover the genealogies, there is a section in the book entitled, Where They Came From, and Why. Here are some excerpts from that section:
Most of East Hampton's first settlers had been in America for ten, fifteen, or even twenty years before coming here. None, as far as we know, had been passengers of the Mayflower although some married into Mayflower families. They crossed the Atlantic, most of them , in the great Puritan migration from England that followed the granting of a charter to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.
Some of our 17th century forefathers were born into the gentry, some were ministers or merchants, others tenant-farmers or servants. But most were sturdy yeomen who came from the rich agriculture district in and around Maidstone in Kent and so, in the early years, they called the new settlement "Maidstone."
It was said that serfdom was almost unknown in Kent; that to say your father was born in Kent meant that you were free-born. A Man of Kent was an honorable appellation.
In the very early 17th century, King James began to exert the theory of Devine Right of Kings which became increasingly hard to swallow. Then the Thirty Years' War in Germany created a slump in English trade, there was a depression which made the prospect of new lands still more attractive. The depression lasted through King James' death in 1625, into the reign of Charles I and into the civil war of 1641. When King Charles surrendered to the Puritans in 1646 the Devine Right of Kings idea exploded. King Charles lost his head in 1649, just as East Hampton pioneers were drawing lots for Main Street homesteads.
Thomas Osborne and his son Thomas were not among the original nine settlers of East Hampton but became their very early associates, possibly still in 1649. The old Osborn family is listed as an early builder of a house on Main Street in 1680.
The introduction of the Osborn genealogy is now quoted:
OSBORN OR OSBORNE
THIS NAME, variously spelled, has existed more than a thousand years. In ancient Saxon England it was sometimes spelled Osbjorn; the wife of King Egbert was an Osborne. Egbert of the house of Cedric, King of Wessex, united the seven Saxon kingdoms of Britain into one kingdom under the name of England in 827, A.D. Earliest record of the Osborn family appears in the will of Harjanna and Julian Osborn of Kent, bearing date of 1404. The family lived in and around Maidstone then, and is still represented there. The first Osborn in East Hampton was Thomas of Ashford in Kent who owned land in Hingham, Mass. before 1635, moved to Windsor, Conn. by 1637, and was one of the early settlers of New Haven, Conn. in 1639. Thomas came to East Hampton in 1650 to 1651. His son John 2 was one of the first settlers of Wainscott, five miles west of East Hampton village, and in the township. East Hampton was first named Maidstone because so many of its first settlers had come from that vicinity; and Wainscott was doubtless named after a hamlet named Wainscot in England, near Rochester, and not very far from Maidstone. Mrs. George Odell (born Mary Osborn of Wainscott) visited the English Wainscot looking up her ancestors; and Ernest Clowes of Bridgehampton has located church records in that parish which give marriage of early 18th century Osbornes.
Preparation of the following genealogy (which does not attempt to carry the family far out of East Hampton Township) would have been impossible without data furnished by Osborn Shaw of Bellport, L.I., Brookhaven Town Historian and himself a descendant of East Hampton Osbornes; by William E. Osborn of Mt. Vernon, N.Y.; by Raymond H. Osborn, Mrs. Ralph Frazee, Mrs. Amy Osborn Bassford, Nelson C. Osborne, Mrs. Alice Dayton LaPointe, also Dr. Frederick A. Finch's notes and Judge Hedges' genealogies have given some basic information. Miss Minnie L. Hunting, who with her brother Daniel Osborn Huntting occupies one of the few East Hampton homesteads which have never passed out of the family, has prepared the whole of one section: "Descendants of Daniel Osborn 3."
Early American Osborns were tanners; Thomas 1, trained in that trade by his father in England, was given liberty to cut trees on the common in New Haven for his tanning. In 1660 Thomas 1 deeded to his son Jeremiah his house and tanyard in New Haven. Deacon Abraham Osborn 6 (1776 - 1855) grandfather of the late Burnett Mulford Osborne who lived on the property now that of Maidstone Arms, said that Thomas 1 and 2, Joseph 3 and his three sons Joseph 4, Jeremiah 4, and Thomas 4, Lewis 5 and Abraham 6, all tanners, worked for six generations at that trade on the hill where he resided; also for generations the family and descendants of Daniel 3 and his son Deacon Daniel 4 so wrought.
A beautifully carved chest, said to have been brought from England by the first Thomas Osborne, was given to the John Howard Payne memorial house "Home, Sweet Home," by the late B. M. Osborne.
It is interesting to note that Thomas and John Osborn were promoters for East Hampton of an agreement between the offshore whaling companies of East Hampton and Southampton, in January 1667. Descendants of John 2, John M. and Oliver S. Osborn of Wainscott, were among the last of the offshore whalemen here - Oliver S. Osborn headed the crew that captured the last right whale off Wainscott in 1907.
According to East Hampton History, 1953, page 490, Thomas 1 was baptized April 4, 1594/5 in Ashford, County Kent, England and died in either East Hampton or New Haven between 1677, when he made his will, and 1686, when his son Thomas is called Senior. He is thought to be the son of Jeremy and Joan Wybourne Osborne (due to cousins being named Thomas, there is some doubt) and is known to be the grandson of Thomas and Wilmeth Osborne.
In 1897, Judge Henry P. Hedges wrote an earlier East Hampton History from which Ms. Rattray quotes frequently. Rather than copying the complete Osborn section, I will only include parts that are not in the 1953 version.
THE OSBORN FAMILY
Thomas Osborn, Sr., was father of Thomas, Jr. 2, John 2 and Benjamin 2, and conveyed to the latter in 1687 all his lands in East Hampton, see T. R. Vol. I, pp. 84, 300, 406. From Savage's Gen. Dictionary and otherwise we know that this Thomas 1 had in New Haven a son Jeremiah and other children, and a brother Richard, the tanner there. The tradition that he returned to New Haven and died there is consistent with the deed and all the known facts. The Thomas 2 dying in 1712 at age 90, was son of Thomas 1. The Joseph, Jr. 3 was son of Thomas 2 dying in 1743 at age 83, and by will proved Sept. 9, 1746, devised to his son Joseph 4 the old Deacon Osborn homestead, to his son Jeremiah 4 the house on the corner bought of Capt. Thos. Wheeler, and to his son Thomas 4, the Pudding Hill lot. Four generations of the family are traced and located on three homesteads, at so late a date and so clearly as to leave little if doubt so far. The same will names his brother Daniel 3.
....
In Munsell's History of Suffolk County, the Osborn genealogy is erroneously traced from Robert and Elizabeth of Maidstone, Kent, Eng., to Thomas 2 who died at age 90 in 1712, to Daniel 3 d. Jan. 6, 1713 at age 48 yrs., Daniel 4 d. May 18, 1757, Jonathan 5 d. Nov. 1, 1781, Joseph 6 b. 1754, d. 1844, Joseph 7 b. 1789, d. 1872, Sylvanus M. 8. The partial genealogy of this family by Judge Thomas A. Osborn, late of Maybille, Chautauqua Co., N.Y., County Judge in 1843, Member of Assembly in 1868, contains the same mistake. Thomas 1 Sen. father of Thomas 2 Jr. who died in 1712 may have been son of that Robert and Elizabeth, but not of Thomas 2. The Town Record proves Thomas 2 son of Thomas 1.
Deacon Abraham Osborn 6, son of Lewis 5, son of Joseph 4, son of Joseph 3, son of Thomas 2, son of Thomas 1 was a man of devout soul, good memory and good sense, versed in treasured traditionary lore.
"And many names he would repeat,
Whose pulses long have ceased to beat."
He said that Thomas 1, Thomas 2, Joseph 3 and his three sons Joseph 4, Jeremiah 4, and Thomas 4, Lewis 5 and Abraham 6, all tanners, worked for six generations at that trade on the hill where he resided, now the residence of his grandsons William A. and Burnet M. Osborn. For generations the family and descendants of Daniel 3 and his son Deacon Daniel 4 so wrought. Judge Thomas A. relates that the family have tradition that they are of Norman origin, and came with William the Conqueror. He had an account of the family Coat of Arms which writing from memory, is not given. Believing that what we do and not what our ancestors have done will be our true measure I have made no inquiry in that direction. Dea. Joseph 4, grandfather of Dea. Abraham 6 was a man of strong convictions and in the Revolution a resolute patriot. During the Revolutionary war, on his way to church, he was ordered by a British officer to appear forthwith with his team and cart, at an appointed place to do service for the British army. The Deacon inquired by what authority the officer commanded him and was answered "by the authority of the King." "What King do you serve?" asked the Deacon. The answer was "King George the Third." The Deacon replied "My King is greater than your King. I serve King Jesus. He commands me to go to meeting and I shall go." With this the old hero marched on to the church. To such a man titles and coats of arms are baubles. Having known the strong personality and power of Dea. Abraham, his grandson, I can better conceive the master manner of his grandsire.
The source for all of Thomas's children is the LDS Ancestral File with corrections and additions made from East Hampton History, 1953.
In preparing this compilation of descendants of Thomas Osborn, the immigrant, I have mostly limited the content to the direct ancestors of our Cornelius Osborn (1814 -1879). Exceptions to this are other descendants who settled in Rensselaer and Monroe Counties, New York where our Cornelius's immediate ancestors resided.
For the interest of other researchers, I have photocopies of most of the Osborn sections of the East Hampton History, both the 1898 and 1953 versions.
Here is a message I received after publishing the Osborn text:
Thomas Osborn and his brother Richard [b. 1598] came to America in 1637 aboard the ship "Hector" which was commissioned by the New Haven Colony by a Mr. John Davenport and Mr. Theophilus Eaton. You will find Richard's name on the Passenger List on the Olive Tree Website (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/neship.htm#hector ) Thomas and Richard arrived in Boston on June 26, 1637. They and the entire New Haven Colony stayed in Boston until the spring of 1638 when they continued on to the area where they Founded the town of New Haven, Connecticut. The entire trip is described in the book "The Colony of New Haven" by Edward E. Atwater. The book describes life in England at the time, why they wanted to come to America, the trip aboard ship, and the way the land in New Haven was divided up.
Thomas was still fathering children in Ashford, Kent, England in 1636, so he COULD NOT have been in "New England" in 1635 ! (Joseph Osborn [b. Dec. 4, 1636, Ashford, England] [d. 1732-1733 in Newark, Essex, New Jersey]).
I am a descendent of Thomas Osborn(1), Benjamin(2), Benjamin(3), Samuel(4), etc.

General Notes: The LDS Family History Library contains a text entitled "Thomas Osborne of Ashford, Kent, England, and some of his American Descendants" by Daniel J. Weeks. In a section entitled Ashford: Ancient Seat of the Osbornes, it say at the dawn of the Seventeenth Century, Ashford, England, in the county of Kent, was a small market town of about 1,000 people. It is here in the very early part of the Seventeenth Century that we first encounter the Osborne clan, whose progeny were to make their way across the Atlantic to America during the years of Puritan migration to the New World. Because it is situated a few miles from the sea between the channel ports of the east coast of Kent and the City of London, Ashford benefited from the number of travelers who passed through Kent on their way to London. Kent itself was one of the most populous and wealthy counties in England in these years. Its prosperity was largely based upon diversified agriculture. The county was the premier fruit growing area in England during the Seventeenth Century, though it was also noted for its livestock and brewing. In the early part of the century Ashford had become a center of Puritan activity, thanks in large part to the lectures of one "Master Urdnay," whom Archbishop William Laud suppressed. It is quite likely that the Puritan agitation had a strong influence on the Osbornes, or at least on Thomas Osborne, who came to New England about 1637 and settled in the Puritan enclave at New Haven.
It should also be noted that the American settler of this particular line of the Osbornes was almost certainly a close relative of Thomas Osborne, the Earl of Danby and later Duke of Leeds, who became first minister to King Charles II. Danby's great-grandfather was Richard Osborne of Ashford.
