Amy C. Usher, born in Colchester, Conn. between 1800 and 1806. At some point her family left Conn. and moved to either (or both) New York and Ohio. By 1832 she was living in Newburgh (Cleveland) (Cuyahoga County), Ohio with her husband, John Righter, who was born in Easton, PA in 1790. She died in Brecksville (Cuyahoga County) Ohio, where she and John had a farm, between 1870 - 1875. She is buried there with a cemetery marker that is too weathered to read.

History of Windham County, Connecticut, Volume I, 1600-1760

Captain Blackwell was warmly welcomed in Boston, made a justice of the peace and much connected in public affairs. In 1685, the General Court of Massachusetts granted him a tract of land eight miles square, "in behalf of himself and several other worthy gentlemen of England," and also a share in the new township of Oxford, but he decided to settle his colony within the wilds of Connecticut and secured from Major Fitch, May 28, 1686, a deed of five thousand seven hundred and fifty acres of land, "containing the Newichewanna Hills and other lands adjoining, lying west of the Quinebang and south of Tamonquas, alias Mashamoquet River." This land was confirmed to him "after he made his choice," November 11, 1686, by Major Fitch, Owaneco and Josiah, in presence of Hez. Usher, William Blackwell, Thomas Hooker and John Hubbard,-the Mashamoquet proprietors and other patentees of the newly granted townships, agreeing, "That Blackwell's part of 5,750 acres, situated in the southeast angle thereof, shall be accounted a separate tract by and of itself, to hold to him, his heirs and assigns, so that neither the rest of the purchasers, nor their survivors or heirs, shall challenge to have, hold or enjoy, any joynt or separate interest, title, power or jurisdiction or privilege of a township or otherwise, howsoever, or within the same from henceforth for ever."
