He had many names over the years. His marriage record has him as Coy, but this may have been from mis-reading poor writing; the 1900 census had his name as Cap, the 1880 census has him as Lafayette, etc. He married Ida Bell Fulmer in Lafayette Co on 20 December 1900. G H White helped provide the marriage bond. Ida was found in Fayette Co at Bylor in 1910. This Ida had children who matched the children from the 1920 census, at Bylor.

        Charles M Wilson [R2c5a8a], son of James Kincaid Wilson and Martha Jane Hogue, was born in 1855 KY, probably in Calloway Co. He was not found after 1880. There was a Charles Wilson who lived at Kansas City, MO in 1920, was a carpenter and a pool hall operator, and was born in KY about 1855. He was a widower and was killed in an auto accident on 28 March 1928. Since he then lived alone, there was no family member who could accurately fill in the personal information for his death certificate. Therefore, his parents were not shown on it. He was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. (158rs,39d)

        Columbus Wilson [R2c5b3], son of Hiram Wilson and Eliza Carothers, was born in 1832 in TN, probably in Sumner Co, but lived in Marshall Co TN in early 1859 and Marshall Co MS (not in TN) in 1860 and 1870. He usually did not use his first name; Columbus was the name used most of the time. His full name was A Columbus Wilson. In all of the USA in 1850, he was the only Columbus Wilson born in TN in the early 1830s. Therefore the Columbus Wilson born in TN in 1832 and living in Marshall Co MS in 1870 with Mrs E M Rhoades must be the same Columbus. In Mrs Rhoades’ home with Columbus in 1870 was Virginia Wilson, born in AL in 1833. Neither woman was Columbus’ wife. She was revealed in son Wilber’s death certificate as being Annie E Gilliland, born in Tipton Co TN in 1840. Mrs Rhoades was born in AL in 1820. Annie and Columbus married in Shelby Co TN on 16 October 1859. In 1850 Annie lived in Shelby Co with her parents Samuel Gilliland and Eliza _____. Tipton Co, Annie’s birthplace, is the county bordering Shelby to the north. Cross Co AR, where their son Wilber was born five years later, is two counties west of Shelby Co. But they first settled in Marshall Co MS in 1860. This county is at the southeast corner of Shelby Co TN. So Shelby Co was the center of the various places where they lived over the years. Annie was dead by 1870 and Columbus and his four children were still in Marshall Co TN then, but in the mid-1860s they lived in Cross Co AR. Annie probably died in Marshall Co MS in the late 1860s. Their children were-

a.     Mattie Wilson, b 1861

b.     Thomas Wilson, b 1862

c.     Wilber Fisk Wilson, b 20 Sep 1864

d.     Fletcher Wilson, b 1866

He married Emma Dunnegan on 19 December 1847 in Marshall Co. In 1850 they lived two doors from Edward’s parents in Marshall Co. So far, there is no direct proof that Edward was a son, but his 1824 birth fits the age of the son in Hiram’s home in 1840, and he did live close to Hiram in 1850. Therefore, he is probably the eldest son. And because of the names of his children, there is little doubt that Edward was Hiram’s son. Edward’s wife Emma was born in TN on 20 September 1829. They lived in Marshall Co into the 1880s. Edward died 13 November 1891 and was buried in Chapel Hill Cemetery in Marshall Co. Emma died on 30 September 1906. They had seven children-

Zacheus died in Sumner Co in 1814. His birth date is often reported as 1765, but this is unlikely and he must be confused with the Zacheus who was a son of Robert Wilson and Eleanor Carothers, and who died in 1842 in Williamson Co TN.

In 1870 they lived at Salt Point, Sonoma Co CA and he was then a teamster.

In Sumner Co a division of the plantation of Zacheus Wilson, deceased, dated 28 August 1816, gave 50 acres to Ezekiel Cherry, husband of Jane Wilson. Ezekiel paid taxes on his 50 acres at Station Camp Creek in Sumner Co in 1816 through 1818. He lived in neighboring Bedford Co in 1820, three counties south of Sumner Co, and his parents lived next door. Although we know that by then Ezekiel had three daughters, they were not shown in his household, yet a teenage male was. The teen could have been Ezekiel’s younger brother. Census takers in the pre-1850 years were often careless. Also in Bedford Co in 1820 was Evan Wilson, brother of Captain John Wilson. In fact, there were many of the Sumner Co Wilson adults in Bedford Co in 1820. Ezekiel served at the Bedford Co Commissioner in 1820, and bought and sold land there between 1817 and 1834.

In 1880 and 1900 they lived in Marshall Co. She was born in Maury Co TN in December 1855, daughter of John Harris and Tabitha Morris. Lucian died in the 1900s, probably in Marshall Co, and Sallie was found at Nashville in 1910 with most of her children. In 1920 Sallie lived with her daughter Ivy in Marshall Co.

        They had three children by 1880, and Sallie claimed ten children by 1910. Census evidence shows eleven children; nine were known to be alive in 1910, and Sallie claimed that two had died. Hence there must have been eleven children in all. Her count of ten would be correct if the eldest son was not Sallie’s. This appears to be the case since she had been married 24 years in 1900, and the eldest living child was born in April 1875. Lucian’s children were all born in Marshall Co TN-

The name Chunn is quite rare for this area of TN. The Chunn families were in Maury Co from the early 19th Century, descendants of Sylvester Chunn who fought in the Revolution in VA. Sylvester was born about 1757 and lived in Maury Co in 1820 and in Marshall Co in 1840. On the 1923 tax roster of Maury Co, Sylvester and William Chunn paid taxes. In Maury Co in 1860 there was John Thomas Chunn; he was born in NC in 1825, son of Henry Chunn (born 1794) and Hannah Garrett (born 1791). Henry Chunn was a son of the Sylvester Chunn of early Maury Co. John T Chunn had married Mariah Shires (born in TN in 1832) in Maury Co on 18 Mar 1846, and they had seven children by 1860 ranging in ages from 14 to 1 (two had died by 1860). One daughter Eliza Ann married John Humphrey McFadden on 7 Sep 1865 in Maury Co, and the middle daughter was Sarah C Chunn (the Sari Chunn who married L P Wilson). Sarah C Chunn was born in 1854 in Maury Co, and was the right age to marry Mr L P Wilson in 1873. Furthermore, this Sarah was the only Sara / Sari Chunn in Maury Co or in Marshall Co of this approximate age in 1860. (117,341kqrsu, 10iqm,49v)

Sylvester Chunn enlisted in Halifax Co VA on 1 Feb 1777 for a period of three years. He enlisted as a Private under Captain Thomas Thweatt in the 14th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Charles Lewis. He was in the Battles of Brandywine (11 Sep 1777), Germantown (4 Oct 1777) and Monmouth (28 Jun 1778). At the Battle of Monmouth, he was commanded by Captain Lambert in Colonel Davies’ Regiment. He remained in this command until his was discharged in the spring of 1780.

On 31 Jan 1819 Sylvester Chunn applied for and was awarded a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War. In the application taken by Perry W Humphreys, judge at Columbia, Maury Co TN, he stated that his age was 61 years old (born about 1758). In the application he stated he enlisted in the 14th Virginia Regiment on 1 Feb 1777 and was discharged in the Spring of 1780.

This Pension, #17,357, was awarded on 2 Jun 1820 at the rate of $8 per month to commence on 31 January 1819. With the pension declaration he was awarded $153.29 in arrears at that time. In an affidavit dated 22 Jul 1826, his age was stated as between 69 and 70 years old (born about 1758). This affidavit was a request to the pension office for the resumption of his pension which was evidently stopped shortly after it was awarded. Sylvester Chunn died in 1841 and was buried in Shires Memorial Cemetery near Pottsville, Maury Co. His gravestone has the birth and death dates of 1758 - 1841. (M,10c)

Aaron was born 26 September 1828 at Princeton, Morgan Co IL, and was a Pioneer Settler of Utah. He was a miner. In 1880 they lived at Challis, Lemhi Co ID. Lucinda died there before 1900 and Aaron was still at Challis, living with his recently married youngest daughter. Lucinda had a son by 1850 and four more children afterwards-

        Narcissa Wilson [R2c5], daughter of Jean Rowan and David Carroll Wilson, was born about 1778 in Mecklenburg Co NC. She married Jonathan Wilson about 1795 at Gallatin, Sumner Co Southwest Territory (now is part of TN). He was born in 1773 in Mecklenburg Co, son of Zacheus Wilson and Elizabeth Conger, and was Narcissa’s first cousin. Narcissa died in Sumner Co in 1824 and Jonathan then married Elizabeth Moore in Sumner Co on 17 November 1831. Jonathan and his son Hiram were mentioned in land deed records of Marshall Co on 4 February 1839; Jonathan sold 150 acres to “M D Wilson” (son Marquis), and Hiram Wilson witnessed. On the same date, Jonathan sold 150 acres to Hiram Wilson, and Marquis witnessed.

        Jonathan was in Sumner Co in 1830. Living close by were: James L Wilson, born 1760s, living alone; Addison Wilson (next door to Jonathan), born 1800s and had a wife and two children; Samuel Wallace, born 1790s, and was with a wife, and a mother or mother-in-law; John Wallace, born 1780s and a wife born in the 1790s, and seven children. With Jonathan Wilson was just one female, born in the 1790s, and since he had not yet married Elizabeth, his second wife, then this person must have been a sister.

        In 1840 in Jonathan’s home, his age was in the 70s (born 1770s), and with him were one male (a son?) born in the 1820s, and a female of the same age, plus Jonathan’s wife, born in the 1770s. Since Elizabeth was born in 1776, when she married Jonathan, she was about age 54, so they had no children. Elizabeth and Jonathan were both living in Sumner Co in 1850; she was age 74. In their home in 1850 was Theresa Pearson, age 44 (born 1806), and Theresa’s apparent daughter Catherine, age 9. Jonathan died 12 October 1857 in Sumner Co TN.

        Samuel Wilson [R2c4d], son of Elizabeth Wilson and Zacheus Wilson, was born in 1797 in TN, and died in Sumner Co in August 1849 of Cholera, age 52,. He was married when he died. He had married Anna Harvey and married Louisa Wilson. Louisa was found in District 4 of Sumner Co in June 1850 with no husband, but had five children in her home. She was born in TN in 1806, so they likely married about the mid-1820s, although no marriage record for them has been found. Perhaps the eldest daughter shown below was a daughter of the marriage with Anna Harvey. The 1840 census of Sumner Co shows Samuel Wilson, born in the 1790s, his wife born in the 1800s, and six children. The 1830 census shows the same Samuel with a wife of Louisa’s birth year, and matching children from the 1840 census. Living nearby in 1830 and 1820 was David Wilson (born 1780s) and his family. The 1820 census shows a Samuel Wilson living close to David Wilson, but this Samuel was over age 45, or born by 1775. The children of the Samuel born about 1798 were-

1.     dau Wilson, b 1821-1825 (337jk)

2.     son Wilson, b 1826-1830 (337jk)

3.     son Wilson, b 1826-1830 (337jk)

4.     Elizabeth Wilson, b 1830, was not in the 1840 census with her parents. (337jn)

5.     Susan E Wilson, b 1832 (337kn)

6.     Margrett Wilson, b 1834 (337kn)

7.     Sarah E Wilson, b 1836, was not in the 1840 census with her parents. (337n)

8.     David J Wilson, b 1838 (337nk) (W,337ijkn)

        Sarah Wilson [R2c4c], daughter of Elizabeth Wilson and Zacheus Wilson, was born in the 1790s and may have married John Patterson. There was a marriage in Sumner Co between Sally Wilson and Joel S Philips on 7 July 1825. His name was spelled Phelps on the marriage record, and Joel made his X mark since he could not write. But in all the census records, his name is spelled Philips, with one L. James Campbell helped pay the marriage bond. This couple lived in Davidson Co in 1830, but that Sally died in the late 1820s since Joel then married Jane C Gee in Davidson Co on 25 June 1830, and they lived in Davidson Co. His name for this marriage was spelled Philips. Since the marriage with Sally took place in Sumner Co, then Sally was probably the daughter of Elizabeth and Zacheus Wilson. Joel’s second wife was born in VA in 1817 (1850 census record), so was age 13 when she married, if the 1850 census was accurate. The wife with Joel in 1830 was born in the 1790s, so was probably Sally. Sally had no children who lived past 1829. Her Joel was of about the same age as she was, according to the 1830 census, but in 1840 he was a few years younger, born about 1803 in TN.

She was buried in Pecan Grove Cemetery. Jennie married Thomas Marion Wilson on 8 May 1880 and at first they lived with her parents. Thomas was a teacher then, and was still a teacher in 1900. Later they lived at McKinney where he was a nurseryman. Thomas was born 30 November 1852 in Perry Co IL, son of Adam Wilson and Ellen W Purcell, both from TN.

Adam Wilson and wife Phoebe A Whipkey (born 1839) lived at Levan, Jackson Co IL in 1870. They were born in TN and IL. Their sons were 17 year old Thomas and 8 year old John, both born in IL. Living next door in 1870 was Walter Wilson and wife Lucretia (born 1839). They were both born in TN. Their youngest children were Thomas, age 8: Martha L, age 3, and Walter, age 2 months, all born in IL. The older three children were born in TN and KY. Walter and Lucretia and their children from Martha and younger still were in Jackson Co in 1880.

In Collin Co TX in 1910, two doors from Thomas M Wilson and wife Jennie A was the John Wilson family. John was born in IL in 1863; his wife Rosa was from OH. And in 1900 in Collin Co was Walter Wilson, born in April 1870 in IL, and wife Josie was from TX. They were in District 4. Also in District 1 in 1900 was Martha Wilson, born in IL in 1867 and married to Daniel W Bagwell from IL, and Martha’s brother Joe, born in IL in 1861 (Joseph Thomas Wilson?). Martha and David were still in Collin Co in 1930.

It would appear that Adam Wilson and Walter Wilson were brothers. Adam was born in TN in 1832 and Walter was born in TN in 1834. Adam’s second wife was Phoebe A Whipkey, born 1839 in PA; they married on 22 May 1959 in Jackson Co. Adam’s first wife and mother of Thomas was Ellen W Purcell, whom he married in Perry Co on 29 January 1852. Perry Co is next to Jackson Co. Adam, Phoebe, and son Thomas, were living in Jackson Co in 1860. (W,340rsvd)

        Wallace Copp Wilson [R2c5c1k], son of George Alexander Wilson and Harriet Martha Kincaid, was born 17 July 1876 in Collin Co TX, and died there at McKinney on 9 January 1956. He was buried in Pecan Grove Cemetery. On 22 June 1902 Wallace married Kate Holder. She was born in 1878, daughter of Willis A Holder and Elizabeth Johnson, and died 1 August 1905.

Rachel was born 23 June 1888 in TX, daughter of John Thomas Dugger and Catherine Louis Lowery, and died of pneumonia on 13 April 1974 at Wichita Falls, Wichita Co TX. Rachel was buried in Pecan Grove Cemetery in Collin Co. Mrs Robert Huston was the informant for Rachel’s death record. Wallace was a bookkeeper at McKinney in 1920 and the postmaster in 1930. With each wife Wallace had three children, all born in Collin Co TX-

1.     Ray Holder Wilson, b 1904 (W,340vw)

2.     Robert Wilson, b 1904 (W,340vw)

3.     Harriet Edward Wilson, b 12 May 1905, died 19 August 1905. (W)

4.     Jennie Marie Wilson, b 12 Jul 1912

5.     Rebecca Wilson, b Jun 1917 (W,340wf)

6.     Katherine Kinkaid Wilson, b 16 Apr 1919 (age 9/12 in 1920 census) at McKinney, died 21 July 1927 at McKinney of hemophilia. She is buried in McKinney Cemetery. (W, 340wd) (W,M, 340svwf,403d)

        Wallace Taylor Wilson [R2c5a2d8], son of Lucian P Wilson and Sallie C Harris, was born 10 September 1893 in Marshall Co TN. He lived at Chapel Hill in Marshall Co in September 1918. In 1920 he lived with his eldest sister in Marshall Co, and was still single. He was single in 1930, living in Marshall Co, and his mother lived with him. Living next door in 1930 was his brother Bright. (M,341uwf, 49v)

        Wilber Fisk Wilson [R2c5b3c], son of Mr A Columbus Wilson and Annie E Gilliland, was born 20 September 1864 in Cross Co AR; his birth date in 1900 was given as September 1864. There were two Wilber / Wilbur Wilson men born in the mid-1860s who can easily be confused with the other. The name Wilber / Wilbur Wilson is relatively rare, so one of these two men must be the son of Columbus Wilson. One was born in AR and the other was born in VA, yet both for a while lived in the St Louis, MO area in the 1880s or 1890s, then in TX in 1910 and 1920. Over the years their names were spelled as both Wilbur and Wilber, but the elder of the two (son of Columbus Wilson) more often used the Wilber spelling, with an E. See the note below concerning the Wilbur F Wilson from VA.

        “Wilber F Wilson” (spelled with an E) enlisted in the US Army on 25 August 1884 at St Louis, MO, and said his age was then 21 years 11 months (born September 1862), and born in Cross Co AR; he was actually two years younger if he was born in 1864, as census records show. But so often young men fudge their age when they enlist in the military, or register for the draft. He was a carpenter in the army and was assigned to the Engineering department. He was discharged in the summer of 1885. In 1900 “Wilber F Wilson” from AR lived at San Antonio, TX, and had married Lillie Marshall in 1894; Lillie was born in November 1869 in IL; her mother was from England and her father from KY. This birth year and place, and the birth places of both her parents was the same in all census records after they married, but no record of Lillie’s parents has yet been found. Wilber was a school teacher and school principal in TX. In 1880 neither Wilber / Wilbur Wilson was found. The census of 1900 at San Antonio said Wilber and his wife Lillie had been married six years; the 1910 census at Houston said they were married 16 years. They remained at Houston into the 1930s. Wilber was still teaching in 1930. He consistently gave his age in census records as being born in September 1864. He was age 5 in 1870 (son of Columbus, in Marshall Co MS).

        Wilber’s death certificate at Houston finally revealed much about him. It spelled his name with a U, as in Wilbur. His full name was given; until then all we knew was that his middle name was the letter F. His father was “A C Wilson” from AR and his mother was “Annie E Gilliland” from Tipton Co TN. And we can be sure that this is the correct Wilber because his wife’s name was given as Lillie Marshall, and Wilber was a school teacher. The informant for the death certificate was “Mrs Wm M Rudersdorf” of Houston (Wilber’s daughter Florence). Wilber died at Houston on 20 July 1937 and was buried in Glenwood Cemetery at Houston. Generally, educated people marry and associate with intelligent people, so must of the death certificate information should be quite reliable. For clarity though, Wilber’s name spelling will remain with the letter E, to differentiate him from the other Wilbur Wilson of about the same age. Wilber and Lillie had three children-

1.     Mabel V Wilson, b Aug 1899

2.     Florence Ray Wilson, b 11 Dec 1902

3.     child Wilson, b & d 1900-1910. (89v) (M,183r,511u, 89uvwfd)

The other Wilbur Wilson lived at St Louis, MO when he married Fay N Laughlin “of Mason City IA” on 24 Oct 1896 at Shelbyville, Shelby Co MO. This was the second marriage for this Wilbur. Over the years he and Fay lived at Austin, TX in 1910 and 1920, then at San Diego, CA in 1930. His birth year and place was consistently 1866 or 1867 in VA. Fay’s birth date over the years when she was an adult was fairly consistently given as 1878 or 1879, yet her CA death record gave her dates as being born on 21 Sept 1875 in IA and died 27 January 1957 at San Diego. She was born in Allamakee Co IA (northeast corner of IA), daughter of James Laughlin from IL and Bertha Concord from PA. Fay’s husband Wilbur was born in VA, yet his younger siblings were born at Hopkinsville, Christian Co KY: brother Edward Wilson was born 26 Sep 1879; brother Richard Henry Wilson Jr was born 6 March 1870, married a French woman Marie Louise _____, and was a professor of languages at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville; sister Margaret S Wilson, born 17 May 1873, married a Mr Waldron and lived at Charlottesville, VA; brother Hugh Wilson was born about 1878; and brother Guy was born 1 May 1881. Their parents were Richard Henry Wilson, born 8 May 1834 in Lunenburg Co VA, died 16 Nov 1902 at Hopkinsville, KY, and Margaret A Smith, born 27 Mar 1842 in VA, died 11 Jan 1890 Hopkinsville (she was a daughter of Orlando M Smith & Lavinia _____). When Fay was a child, census records then showed her birth date as 1876, so her death record probably has the correct date. Wilbur Field Wilson (spelled with a U on his death record) was born 22 April 1866 in VA and died at Los Angeles on 15 March 1953. His mother’s maiden name was Smith. per his death record and the 1880 census of Christian Co KY. Most of the time, this Wilbur’s name was spelled with a U. He was a real estate broker, a sales manager for a trucking company, and was in the wholesale grocery business. Fay and her Wilbur Wilson had no children. (CAd, S,IAs,541q, 540wf, 48m,539u, 409vw, 65f)

        William Wilson [R2c3], son of Jean Rowan and David Carroll Wilson, was born in 1771 in Mecklenburg Co NC. He married Sarah Brevard on 10 November 1793 at Gallatin, Sumner Co TN, and they lived in Sumner Co in 1820. Sarah was born 5 June 1762 in Mecklenburg Co, daughter of Zebulon Brevard and Ann Templeton, and died in Mecklenburg Co in 1846. William was not found in 1830. Some researchers think that the Sarah Wilson who lived in Henderson Co TN in 1830 was his widow, but cemetery evidence in Henderson Co does not support that. See the Zacheus Wilson of Henderson Co TN biography. (W,55, 337m)

        William Wilson [R2c5b4], son of Hiram Wilson and Eliza Carothers, was born in 1835 in Sumner or Marshal Co TN. He was in Marshall Co in 1850 but was not found after then. (341kn)

        William Albert Wilson [R2c4e4g], son of Henry Woodville Wilson and Susannah Armstrong, was born 3 December 1868 at Provo, UT. He died 15 July 1928 at Provo and was buried in Provo City Cemetery. William married Lillian P Cook after 1900. In 1900 he was still single, and was living with his brother John M at Provo (and was age 29 then). Lillian was born at Provo on 19 June 1885, daughter of Charles Cook and Hannah Allen (both from England), and they lived at Provo. William was a barber at Provo. Lilly died 21 September 1980 at Ogden and was buried in Provo City Cemetery close to William. After William died, Lilly married again, to Seth Silock Pixton, a Salt Lake City banker, after 1935. This was also his second marriage. His first wife, Ellen Weaver, was born in 1874 and died in 1935. Seth was born 20 June 1875 in UT and died at San Diego, CA on 25 Nov 1956. (L,W,343rs, 373uwc, 375f)

        William H Wilson [R2c5a8c], son of James Kincaid Wilson and Martha Jane Hogue, was born in August 1861in KY, probably in Calloway Co. In 1900 he lived at Lamar, Johnson Co AR and had married Sallie Houston in Johnson Co on 8 November 1885. Sallie was born in October 1862 at Pittsburg, Johnson Co AR, daughter of Robert Houston and Sarah Louisa Jackson. William was a dry goods merchant. In 1910 and 1920 they lived at Pittsburg. William died in Johnson Co on 20 September 1929 and afterwards Sallie lived with her daughter Ruth. Sallie died on 14 November 1931 at Lamar.

        Willie Straughan Wilson [R2c5c1f1], daughter of Thomas Benjamin Wilson and Alice Straughan, was born 27 August 1888 at McKinney, Collin Co TX. She married James Daniel Leech in 1909 and died 6 December 1960 at Farmersville, Collin Co. She and James were buried in IOOF Cemetery. Her son James D Leach (Jr) was the informant for her death record. James D (Sr) was born at Magnolia, Columbia Co AR on 10 October 1883, son of James B Leech and Emma Harrison.

        Zacheus Wilson, born in the 1750s, lived in Marshall Co TN in 1820, and soon after moved to Henderson Co in West TN. See his biography in the Allied Family Section near the end of this book.

        Zacheus Wilson [R2c6], son of Jean Rowan and David Carroll Wilson, was born in 1779 in Mecklenburg Co NC. He died in February 1827 in Sumner Co TN. Zacheus married Jane Carothers in 1800 in Sumner Co. She was born about 1780. In 1817 at Station Camp Creek in Sumner Co “Zacheus Wilson Sr” was taxed for 63 acres he owned there. Also, the heirs of Zacheus Wilson (who died in 1814) were taxed for their 160 acres. The Zacheus who died with heirs was born in the 1760s and died in 1814 in Sumner Co (see the Zacheus in a Nutshell note below), and was the husband of Elizabeth Wilson [R2c4]. At the same time, there was a “Zachs Wilson” (perhaps the Zacheus Wilson who was born about 1784 in Sumner Co) who owned 260 acres on Indian Creek, and “Zachs Wilson Sr” who owned 63 acres near Gallatin. The Zacheus Sr near Gallatin was probably the son of Jean Rowan since he was the eldest Zacheus living in the area then. Zacheus, son of Jean Rowan, had four daughters-

a.     Malissa Wilson, b abt 1800 (W)

b.     Sarah G Wilson, b 1802, may have married Thomas Patton on 28 Sept 1841 in Sumner Co? (W,337m)

c.     Mary Wilson, b 1806 (W)

d.     Dovey Wilson, b 1808 (W) (W)

        Austin Ward Wolcott [R2g2c1b], son of Aaron M Wolcott and Maria Lovina Merrill, was born 30 June 1874 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. He died in 1950. Austin married Cora L Wilcox about 1910 and lived next door to his sister Stella at Sayre.

Austin worked in the same creamery where his brother-in-law George Norris worked. Cora had no children. In 1930 they lived at Sayre, and Austin was the proprietor of the dairy creamery. His name was then written down as “Lyman W Wolcott” for the census, but was of age to be Austin, and his wife was Cora. She was the age of Austin’s wife. Hence, someone gave the census taker the wrong name, or else he misunderstood. At the same time, Austin’s brother Lyman was then living at Sayre with his wife Lillian. Cora’s parents are buried in the same plot as Austin and Cora; Cora was shown in the 1900 census with her parents at Sayre. (W,M,B, 114bsuvwfc)

Ben died at Millbrook on 14 April 1878. In 1820 they were not found in Bradford Co, yet since their eldest children were born there, Ben and Elizabeth must have been living with older relatives.

He was born in NY 5 November 1822 at Lebanon Spring, son of Paul Shumway and Mercy Gates. They lived at New Lebanon, Columbia Co NY in 1880. John was a carpenter, as was his father, and was a joiner.

The closest name is Watkins Glen in Schuyler Co, just 40 miles northwest of Athens, PA. In the passport application, he stated that his parents lived at Watkins and at Ithaca, NY from 1838 to 1895. Patrick J, in 1918, lived at Athens, and was a machinist. The need for the passport was to do government work in France. (This was just at the end of WW I, so perhaps Patrick was being sent to France to help rebuild from the war damage.) They had five children, all born at Athens, Bradford Co PA-

In 1910 his sister Fannie lived with him and his wife May _____ (neither sister was married then). Charles’ wife May was born in February 1869 in PA. Charles was a clerk for the government in 1900 and was a manager for a publishing business in 1910 and lived at Wilmette Village, Cook Co IL. They were not found after 1910. He and May had a son-

a.     Clifton Ellsworth Wolcott, b 27 May 1893 (198s, 88u,55v)

        Clara E Wolcott [R2g1c6g1], daughter of Louise A Carmer and a Mr Wolcott, was born 10 December 1896 at Athens, Bradford Co PA.

        Clifton Ellsworth Wolcott [R2g9h3a], son of Charles W Wolcott and May _____, was born 27 May 1893 at Eugene, OR. He lived at Omaha, NE with his parents in 1900, then at Wilmette Village, Cook Co IL in 1910, and at San Francisco, CA in June 1917. His draft registration in 1917 gave his full name and birth date, yet in 1920 he was still at San Francisco, was still single, and the census showed his name as Clinton Edward Wolcott, with all other information correct. His parents’ birth places matched for the parents of Charles Ellsworth Wolcott, and the age matched, so this must be the correct Clifton. He had not married by 1920, and was a clerk for a business on Mission St. He lived in a rooming house (different address from June 1917), so perhaps the home’s manager gave the information, incorrectly. (M,88u,55v,536w)

        Countess D Wolcott [R2g2j1], daughter of Amos Prentice Wolcott and Esther J Munn, was born 26 April 1852 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married her cousin Sylvester K Wolcott [R2g9g] in 1881. Her line is continued under his name.

        Dorcas Wolcott [R2g3], daughter of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born about 1783. She married Joseph Pew and lived near Ithaca, Tompkins Co NY. He was born in NJ on 10 August 1784, son of William Pew and Hannah Lacy, and died in October 1855. They lived in Tompkins Co in 1820 and 1830. In 1820 in Tompkins Co the Joseph Pew and his wife were of the right ages to be Dorcas’ family. In 1820, they likely could have been married about 20 years at the most. In their home then were children ranging in age between 18 to under age 10. Joseph Pew of the 1830 census was born in the 1780s. In their home in 1830, in addition to Joseph and Dorcas, was a couple born in the 1801-1810 years, plus a little girl under age 5. Since Dorcas and Joseph were of age to have a son or daughter born in the early 1800s, this couple could be their child and son / daughter-in-law. In 1840 there was no Joseph or Dorcas Pew living in Tompkins Co, but there were three adult Pew persons (Benjamin, born 1790s; Rachel, born 1790s and had five teenage children; and Richard Pew, born 1790s). Benjamin and Richard were apparently Joseph Pew’s brothers, and Rachel was a widowed sister-in-law. Joseph and Dorcas could have had about seven children, but it’s also just as likely that many of these children from the 1830 census could have been children of his brother John who died in 1821.

        Neither Joseph nor Dorcas were in Tompkins Co in 1840; they, or Joseph, had moved to New York City by 1840. When Dorcas died is not known, but it may have been in the 1830s because Joseph’s wife in 1840 was about ten years younger than Dorcas. In his home in 1840 were two young boys, one under age 5 and the other under age 10. These two boys could have been children from Joseph’s second wife. The youngest four children are likely those of Joseph and Dorcas, but the eldest three could easily be nephews, nieces, or hired farm hands -

Tompkins Co NY is two counties north of Bradford Co PA. In Joseph Pew’s home in 1820 was a young man, born 1795-1804. He could have been a younger brother of either Dorcas or Joseph. And living close by in 1820 was brother William, and Bartine Pew born between 1795-1804. The census writing is clear, so there cannot be an error in reading this name Bartine. He was the eldest son of Joseph’s eldest brother John.

From the 1850 census, Benjamin Pew was born in 1792 in NJ, and had a wife Nancy, born in 1798 in NJ. Rachel Pew was there in 1850, born in 1794 in NY, and living close to Benjamin. Richard Pew from the 1840 census was born in 1792 in NJ and his wife Hannah was born in NY in 1795. Other researchers show that Joseph Pew’s siblings were the above mentioned Richard and Benjamin, plus John Pew, born in 1779 in NJ, married Anna Cowell, and died in Tompkins Co in 1821; William, born in 1787 in NJ died in Tompkins Co NY in 1832, and married Rachel Lockey Genung who was born in NY in 1790 and died in Tompkins Co NY in 1863. And Elizabeth Pew, born in 1788 in NJ, died in 1837, and married Matthias Honness and had many children. Rachel from the 1840 census was the widow of William Pew; they had many children. (MA,W,54,102, 105,191ijkn,108k)

The name of Pewtown, now an area of Tompkins Co NY around the intersection of Honness Lane and Snyder Hill Rd and later called East Lawn, came from William Pew, one man in a caravan of pioneers who came from New Jersey in 1801, and who first began to farm and develop that area. With William were five sons, all of whom served in the War of 1812, and one of whom, Joseph, was elected a highway commissioner at the first Town of Ithaca meeting in April 1821.

Much of the reference material about Pewtown used for this story was prepared by Jennie Williams Comfort in pursuit of family history. Many of the details are to be found in genealogical history entitled Early Germans of New Jersey by T F Chambers which involves four counties in the Northwestern part of that state, Hunterdon, Warren, Morris and Sussex.

One William Pew was the first actual settler to have purchased land, 136 acres, between places called Pleasant Grove and Stephensburg. It was bought from a Thomas Schooley in 1773 in an area known as Schooley's Mountain.
“Why the elder William Pew settled among the (New Jersey) Germans is unknown," Mrs. Comfort had written," for traditions of the family claim the Pews to be of English descent from people of wealth......." Intermarriage with the German families is the most likely explanation.

The William Pew who guided his family to Tompkins County was a grandson of the other and was born near Schooley's Mountain in Washington Township, Morris County on March 29, 1752. He served as a private in the Revolution, and Married Hannah Lacey.

When he left New Jersey, it was not with the intention to seek a place to resettle. He was going to visit uncles in Canada. Hannah refused to undertake the trip unless the whole family could go. Not only were the five sons and one daughter in the party, but there was the wife of the oldest son, John, and their little boy.

They were riding in a sleigh on this journey, and stopped at a tavern on Ellis Hollow Road to rest, one night. The owner of the Tavern tried to sell his house and land to Pew, who declined. The travelers had not progressed very far beyond the tavern when they were forced to stop while Anna, Pew's daughter-in-law and wife of John, gave birth to her second child, a little girl who was named Margaret. While the New Jersey group waited, the tavern owner, who had learned about the delay, dropped by - not by accident. This time he was able to convince William Pew to buy his property. William and Hannah bought 600 acres on or near the Catskill Turnpike (now is Route 79) and gave each son a farm. The head of this family, Old William Pew, died in 1818 and was buried in East Lawn Cemetery, (once known as Pewtown Grave Yard). Hannah, a lady of Irish extraction and great vigor, lived to be 102 years of age and remained active most of her days.

The lone daughter of William and Hannah, Lizabeth, married Mautias Honness and they had 12 children. One, a daughter named Hannah, married Henry Merian and they had eight children. One was a daughter named Charlotte, who married a George Williams. Mrs Charlotte Williams died when her baby daughter, Jennie, was four months old.

The children of William Pew, the "founder of Pewtown" were: John, who lived in an old red house at Pewtown; William, the father of Dan; Joseph, who lived in Ithaca and in New York City; Elizabeth, who married Tyson Honness and lived between Pewtown and the Catskill turnpike; Richard, who kept his father's tavern, built the Mitchell brick house and later owned the Preswick Farm; Benjamin who lived on the west edge of Snyder Hill overlooking Pewtown. Later Benjamin Pew moved to Ithaca, dying at his home at the northwest corner of Seneca Street and Stewart Avenue. His son George N Pew lives at the old Benjamin Pew Home at East Lawn. His family is the last Pew family living at Pewtown.

        Earl Bowry Wolcott [R2g2h8d], son of Putnam Bureaugard Wolcott and Evelyn Cora Stedge, was born 5 December 1892 at Sayre, Bradford Co PA. He was a carpenter, had married Margaret Muir in 1917, and lived at Buffalo, NY in 1917. Margaret was born at Newark, NJ on 13 September 1893, daughter of Edward Muir and Cora Vanderbuilt, and died at Sayre on 12 October 1983. In 1920 Earl was a machinist and they lived at Rochester, NY. About 1923 he and his family were back at Sayre and he worked for the railroad. He died in July 1966 and was buried with Margaret in Tioga Point Cemetery in Bradford Co. They had four children by 1930-

From Margaret’s first marriage she had two children born in NY: Leman Eckenstein, born 10 January 1914, died in May 1973 and was buried Tioga Point Cemetery next to Margaret; and Clifford Eckenstein, born in 1917. Clifford lived at Sayre in 2006. (M,Z,114uvf, 196w)

        Earl R Wolcott [R2g9g2], son of Sylvester K Wolcott and Countess D Wolcott [R2g2j1], was born 9 March 1888 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. See Erle R Wolcott [R2g9g2].

        Edward Hastings Wolcott [R2g2d3d], son of Theron D Wolcott and Evaline L Hastings, was born and died in 1882 in Bradford Co PA. He was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens, close to his mother’s grave. (W,114vc)

        Elijah Wolcott [R2g2f], son of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born on 16 April 1816 in PA. He married Harriet Rose about 1839 and their first home was at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA next door to his widowed mother. In 1860 and 1870 they still lived at Litchfield. Harriet was born in PA in 1818 (age 30 in 1850, 41 in 1860). In 1880 they lived at Thurston, Steuben Co NY, and Harriet had a “dislocated ankle” then (probably a severe sprain). In 1900 Elijah lived with his daughter Rose at Liberty, McKean Co PA. He died soon after then, probably at his daughter’s home. They had at least eight children, all born at Litchfield, but none lived with them in 1880-

        Eliza C Wolcott [R2g2d7], daughter of Samuel Park Wolcott and Lydia Bidlack, was born in 1846 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married Archie McVaugh in 1873 and in 1900 they lived at Athens in Bradford Co. He was a railroad conductor in 1880 and a carpenter in 1900. He was born in Canada in May 1850; his mother was from Scotland and his father from England. Arch came to the USA in 1870. In 1910 they lived at Horseheads, NY, and he was then a retail merchant. Arch died in 1933 and Eliza died in 1912. They are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. They had five children born at Sayre, Bradford Co. Eliza claimed four were still living in 1900, and five still living in 1910. Actually, four were alive in 1900 and three alive in 1910-

        Elijah Micah Wolcott [R2g2], son of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born 29 March 1781 in Cumberland Co PA. Elijah moved to Litchfield, Bradford Co PA in 1802 and married Elizabeth Park at Litchfield on 9 September 1802. She was born 26 January 1786 at Litchfield, daughter of Thomas Park (born 1745, died 1819) and Abigail Nesbit (born 1760, died 1843). After their marriage they later moved to Ithaca, Tompkins Co NY where he had previously lived. Elijah moved back to Litchfield years later, where he was killed on 30 January 1840 “by the cut of an axe” (gravestone inscription). They lived at Litchfield in 1830 and in 1840. He and Elizabeth are buried in Park Cemetery (now called State Line Cemetery) at Litchfield. His gravestone says he died “age 59y 10m 1d.” His age at death must be in error since it puts his birth date in March 1880, too soon after his elder sister Mary was born on 16 October 1779; Elijah must have been 58 years, 10 months, and 1 day when he died (see note below). Elizabeth died on 26 January 1873 at Litchfield, “age 86 yrs.” After Elijah died, she lived with her son Amos. They had at least eleven children-

In 1830 their next door neighbor was Thomas Park, born in the 1790s; he may have been Elizabeth’s younger brother.

In David Craft’s History of Bradford County 1770 - 1878, he named the nine children of Margaret Rowan [R2g] and her husband Silas Wolcott. Then with no explanation of who Mikah Wolcott was, Craft stated “Mikah Wolcott died Jan. 30, 1840, aged fifty-nine years, and his wife Jan. 26, 1873, aged eighty-five years. They had twelve children, as follows: Susannah, married Hiram Merrill, she died May 9, 1843, aged thirty-eight years; Thomas, married Eliza Gillett...” etc. Mikah (Micah) was therefore born about 1780 or 1781, and his wife (not named) was born about 1787. These dates confirm that Micah was a second or middle name for Elijah Wolcott.

        There is a bit of controversy over the birth date of Elijah. It was apparent in Craft’s history that he read the gravestone inscriptions to determine the birth and death dates of Micah and his wife. But other readings at much later dates (1980s?) say that Elijah died “age 59y 10m 1d” when he died. This pretty much agrees with what historian Craft said, although it is obvious that Craft just rounded off the year to 59 when it actually said “age 58y 10m 1d.” This would then put Elijah Micah Wolcott’s birth date at 29 March 1781. The later readings of these gravestones had to put up with many more decades of weathering. Old gravestone numbers, after they have weathered for many years, can make the numbers 8 and 9 look alike. Elijah Micah Wolcott’s elder sister Mary’s birth and death years were given, accurate to the day, in the History of Waverly, New York and Vicinity by Albertson. In that history book, Mary’s birth date was given as 16 Oct 1779 (no grave site was named). Elijah Wolcott’s birth date cannot be in March 1780 since this leaves only five months since Mary’s birth date. (MA, 100, 54,101,110, 119,JB, 114jkn)

        Elizabeth “Bessie” Wolcott [R2g2h9], daughter of William Reed Wolcott and Asenath Hotchkiss, was born 22 March 1866 (age 31 in 1900) at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married Perry Milton Pitcher on 30 September 1885, probably in Bradford Co since they both lived there, and afterwards they lived at Buffalo, NY in 1910. Perry was born in July 1868 at Standing Stone, Bradford Co, son of George Washington Pitcher and Ellen Hock. He was a railroad engineer in 1910. In 1920 they were living back at Athens, and Perry was then a farmer. Bessie died 13 November 1945 at Waverly, NY; Perry died in 1930, probably at Rochester, NY where they lived in 1930. He was then a proprietor of a restaurant. Both are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. They had two daughters, both born in Bradford Co PA-

        Ella I Wolcott [R2g2b5d], daughter of Franklin P Wolcott and Elizabeth Dell Voorhis, was born 3 November 1895 at Athens, Bradford Co PA, and grew up in Bradford Co. She lived with her brother and mother in the Bronx, NY City in 1930, never married, and died at Los Angeles, CA on 16 October 1995. Ella was a stenographer. (CAd,Z, 114uvw,598f)

        Ellsworth Wolcott [R2g9h], son of Benjamin Wolcott and Elizabeth Merrill, was born 11 June 1833 in Bradford Co PA. In 1860 he lived at Vernon, Shiawassee Co MI and worked for his first cousin Andrew W Reed [R2g8a] and his wife Cornelia McFail; a domestic worker in the Reed home in 1860 was Ann J Bristol, age 20. Ellsworth was a carpenter in 1880 at Vernon and had married Anna Janette Bristol in 1863. Anna was born at Oceoli, Livingston Co MI on 26 February 1840, and grew up at Howell in Livingston Co. She was eldest child of Hiram Bristol and Fannie Dibble. They were still living at Vernon in 1900. In 1910 Ellsworth was still at Vernon, but had retired, and he lived alone; Anna and her daughter Carolyn lived at Detroit in 1910. Ellsworth died 10 February 1914, probably in MI, and Anna then moved to Woodland, Yolo Co CA and lived there with her daughter Fannie. Anna died 14 November 1928, probably at her daughter Fannie’s home in either Yolo Co, or at Sacramento where Fannie died. Ellsworth and Anna had eight children, all born in MI. Five were still alive in 1910-

Livingston Co is the neighboring county of Shiawassee Co in southern MI. Hiram Bristol and Fanny Dibble married at Genoa, Livingston Co on 22 Nov 1838. Hiram was born 6 Jun 1810 in Onondaga Co NY, died 26 Jan 1886 in Spencer Twp, Kent Co MI; Fannie Dibble was born about 1815 in NY, and died in the 1840s in Livingston Co after 1844.

        Emily Wolcott [R2g9a], daughter of Benjamin Wolcott and Elizabeth Merrill, was born 10 May 1817, probably in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA. No record of her was found as an adult, and she probably died young. (W,102)

        Emma Eudora Wolcott [R2g9d7], daughter of Henry Brown Wolcott and Ruth Taylor, was born 30 December 1861 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She died 22 September 1863 at Litchfield, probably of the same illness that killed her next two older siblings two days prior. All three children were buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield. (W,112, 114c)

        Emma M Wolcott [R2g2d4], daughter son of Samuel Park Wolcott and Lydia Bidlack, was born 19 August 1841 in Bradford Co PA and died there on 3 September 1842. She was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. (JB,114c)

        Erle R Wolcott [R2g9g2], son of Sylvester K Wolcott and Countess D Wolcott [R2g2j1], was born 9 March 1888 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. In his early years, he spelled his name as Erle, but used the Earl spelling after he was about age 30; in the Athens City directory of 1907 he was “Earl Wolcott” and was a plumber. He was a mail carrier in June 1917, and had married Grace May Morley in 1913. She was born at Sheshequin, Bradford Co in December 1897, daughter of Huston Morley and Frances I Chandler. Erle was a plumber in 1920, and had his own plumbing shop at Sayre in 1930. When he died in 1963 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens, his name on the gravestone was spelled Erle R Wolcott. Grace died in 1957 and Erle was buried next to her. They had three children, all born in Bradford Co-

        Everett Wolcott [R2g2i1], born in December 1846 in Bradford Co PA, lived with his uncle Amos Prentice Wolcott [R2g2j] and aunt Esther Munn from 1850 to 1880, and with aunt Esther in 1900. Everett never married. He was likely a son of one of Amos’ sisters, conceived out of wedlock. Of all of Amos’ brothers who could have been the father of Everett: Elijah married and had children born before and after Everett, so wasn’t likely the father; Samuel P married in 1834 and he and his wife were still alive into the 1880s, so he wasn’t likely the father of Everett; brother Silas P married in 1839 and he and his wife were still alive past 1870, so they are not likely the parents of Everett; Thomas P married about 1830 and he and his wife were alive into the 1870s, so they are not likely the parents; William R married in 1844 and he and his wife were alive into the 1870s, so probably were not Everett’s parents. That leaves the sisters of Amos who might be Everett’s mother. Hannah M was born in 1823 and died in 1898. She was not married by 1880, so could have been Everett’s mother. Louisa J was born in 1828 and married early in 1848, and was alive with her husband into the 1880s; she could have been the mother of Everett, then placed Everett into her brother Amos’s care since she was about to marry a new beau. Amos’s sister Maria C was born in 1814 and married in 1838, and was alive years after Everett was grown, so she also is not likely his mother. Marion E was born in 1831, married in 1857, and had many children afterwards; she could be, but was not likely a candidate to be Everett’s mother. Mary M was born in 1819 and married in 1839; she had children born before and after Everett, so was not his mother. Susannah P was born in 1805 and died in 1843, so could not be Everett’s mother. Therefore, with no definite proof, Everett’s parents were probably Hannah Moore Wolcott [R2g2i] and an unknown father. Until shown otherwise, Everett Wolcott’s mother is assumed to be Hannah Moore Wolcott, sister of Amos P Wolcott who raised him. (JY, 114nqrs)

        Fannie E Wolcott [R2g9h5], daughter of Ellsworth Wolcott and Anna Janette Bristol, was born 4 June 1874 in MI. She was a school teacher in 1900, and was boarding with 71 year old Sarah Lytle at Vernon, Shiawassee Co. In 1910 she was still single and lived with her brother Charles in Cook Co IL. Fannie was then a dressmaker. In 1920 she lived in Yolo Co CA at Woodland, and her mother lived with her. Fannie was then a “farmette” (female farmer?). She lived at Sacramento, CA in 1930 with her “sister” Alice, and died at Sacramento on 13 November 1951, so likely her mother died at her home in either Yolo Co or at Sacramento. Fannie never married. The sister she lived with in Sacramento was born in MI in 1893 (census in fo), when Fannie’s mother would have been age 53. Hence, Annie’s age is not accurate in the 1930 census, if she was a sister. Annie was married to Robert O Maples, who was born in TX in 1897. He and Annie married about 1927. (CAd,198su, 55v,496w, 497f)

        Leo K Wolcott [R2g2h8e3], son of Harold Clifton Wolcott and Josephine A Kepner, was born 20 September 1921 in Bradford Co PA. He died 16 March 1998 at Clearwater, Pinellas Co FL. (FLd,114f)

        Leon Merrill Wolcott [R2g2h8b], son of Putnam Bureaugard Wolcott and Evelyn Cora Stedge, was born 11 June 1888 at Sayre, Bradford Co PA. He married Pearl M Ellsworth in 1909 and they lived with his parents in 1910. Pearl was born at Lyons, Wayne Co NY on 20 March 1894, daughter of Charles Ellsworth and Mary E Wilbur. In June 1917 Leon and Pearl lived at Buffalo, NY and had five children then. In 1942 they lived at Sayre. Leon died at Waverly, Tioga Co NY on 14 April 1970 and Pearl died at Sayre in January 1987. They are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery in Bradford Co. Their children were-

1.     Harold L Wolcott, b 13 Oct 1910

In 1900, Pearl lived with her divorced mother Mrs Mary E (Wilbur) Ellsworth (born in July 1873 in NY) and grandparents William H Wilbur Sr (born in 1830 in NY) and Mary A ____ (born in 1836 in VT) at Lyons, NY. Pearl was the eldest of three children (then), and was born in March 1894, which agrees with Leon Wolcott’s wife’s gravestone. The other two children were Clara E and Ralph B Ellsworth (born in February 1896 & December 1897). In 1910, still at Lyons and after Pearl had married Leon Wolcott, Clara and Ralph lived with their grandmother Mary Wilbur (now a widow), and Pearl’s sister Eleanor M, age 2, also lived with her grandmother. Eleanor Ellsworth, age 17 and born in NY, lived with Pearl and Leon in 1920. Their mother was not living with the grandmother in 1910 (she had died?). The spelling of Pearl’s family name was Ellsworth in 1900 and was spelled with two L’s by Pearl’s brother Ralph when he signed his WW I draft registration card. It was spelled with one L in the 1910 census, and on Pearl’s gravestone. Living at Lyon in 1900 was Charles Ellsworth, born in October 1871, and was married but living without a wife. He was a day laborer and was a boarder in the John and Mary Raymer home. Charles was the only male Ellsworth in the county who could be Pearl’s father. In 1880, Pearl’s mother was “Mamie Wilbur,” age 9, living at Lyons with her parents. (M,Z, 114uvfc, 225uv)

        Lewis Erwin Wolcott [R2g9d2], son of Henry Brown Wolcott and Ruth Taylor, was born 7 May 1852 in Wyndham, Bradford Co PA. In 1870 he lived at Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI two doors from his sister Sophronia Wolcott [R2g9d1] (Mrs James Edwin Royce) and two doors from his cousin Avery G Park [R2g10n]. Lewis had married Mary E Heald on 12 October 1874, probably in MI since Lewis was a teenager there in 1870. She was born in NY on 13 October 1852 (1855?). In 1900 they lived at Empire, Leelanau Co (four counties north of Mecosta Co), and in 1910 they were at Bothell, King Co WA. Most of their children also settled in WA. Mary died 15 April 1927 and Lewis on 18 April 1927. They had two children by 1880, both born at Millbrook, and ten children by 1900 with eight still alive, and eleven children by 1910, with eight still alive. All children were born in MI, at least the first eight at Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI-

        Loviah Wolcott [R2g5], daughter of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born about 1786 in Tompkins Co NY. She married first Joseph Perrigo of Ithaca, NY, and married second Asa Caufman about 1817. (W,MA,54,102)

        Lyman Wolcott [R2g2f6], son of Elijah Wolcott and Harriet Rose, was born in 1854 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. He probably died in the 1860s since he was not found in his parents’ home in 1870. (114q)

        Lyman Clark Wolcott [R2g2c1c], son of Aaron M Wolcott and Maria Lovina Merrill, was born 11 November 1879 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. He lived with his sister Stella in 1900, and in 1910 lived next door, at Sayre. Lyman was still single in 1910. He then was a plumber for the railroad, and died in 1958. He was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. Lyman married Lillian A _____ about 1914 and they lived at Sayer in 1920 and afterwards. She was born 7 June 1893 at Laquin, Bradford Co and died 6 March 1984 at Binghamton, Broome Co NY but lived at Waverly. Lillian was buried with Lyman. They had a daughter-

        Margaret Wolcott [R2g10], daughter of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born in 1797 at Ithaca village, Onondaga Co NY (where Tompkins Co is today). She married Samuel Park, and then after he died she married Samuel’s brother Thomas Park Jr. Samuel was born 23 June 1791 in Wysox Twp, Bradford Co PA, and died 22 May 1823 of lockjaw, “age 33". Thomas Jr was born at Litchfield on 1 June 1795 and died 9 April 1861 “age 65." Both were sons of Thomas Park (born 1749, died in 1819) and Abigail Nesbit (born 1760, died 1843). In 1850 through 1880 Margaret and Thomas (until he died) lived close to their nephew Benjamin Park (son of Daniel) at Litchfield. In 1870 Margaret was still in their home, but now lived alone. Margaret died 29 April 1890 at Litchfield. Her two husbands (and parents-in-law) are buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield (also called Park Cemetery). Margaret had seven children with each husband. Source 102 states (page 154) that Samuel had “four sons and one daughter” and Thomas had “three daughters and one son.” This was recorded in the early 20th Century, and the information was obtained from a granddaughter who wouldn’t have known of the children of Margaret who only lived a short time. The five children from Samuel and the four from Thomas would have been those who survived into adulthood. In 1830 Thomas was at Litchfield living close to Elijah Wolcott and Silas Munn. In 1840 Thomas was still there near many Wolcott neighbors. All of Thomas’ children were born at Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA, and all of Samuel’s children were born in Bradford Co-

In 1820 there were two young women in Samuel and Margaret’s home. They were too old to be their children, so may have been sisters.

Part of Wysox Twp came from Athens Twp in the 1804-1813 years. Litchfield Twp was formed out of eastern Athens Twp in 1821. All of these townships are at the north central edge of Bradford Co with NY state forming the northern border of the townships.

The Margaret Park who died 28 January 1821 and is buried in State Line Cemetery is Margaret McKinney, who had married James N Park, brother-in-law of Margaret Wolcott. Thomas Park and wife Abigail Nesbit are both buried in this cemetery. (MA,54,100,101,105, 114ijknqrc)

        Margaret Evelyn Wolcott [R2g2h8a1], daughter of Howard Ernest Wolcott and Jennie Leona Muir, was born 4 July 1906 at Lyons, NY, but grew up at Sayre, Bradford Co PA. She first married Harold Brown in the 1920s but he died in 1928. Margaret then married Frank B Desisti. She died at Towanda, Bradford Co on 7 April 2000 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. Frank was born in 1904 at South Waverly and died at Sayre on 12 March 1977. (W,Z, 114wc)

        Maria C “Rie” Wolcott [R2g2h10], daughter of William Reed Wolcott and Asenath Hotchkiss, was born 26 October 1870 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married Randolph Harry Benson on 26 December 1887. He worked for the railroad in 1900 and they lived at Athens, Bradford Co. Randolph was born 24 March 1863 in PA. In 1910 and 1920, still at Athens, he was a bridge and building contractor, with his son Fred in 1920. Randolph died 17 December 1928 at Athens and was buried there in Tioga Point Cemetery. Maria was a widow in 1930 living with her son Fred. She died in 1946 and was buried with Randolph. They had three children-

        Maria Cook Wolcott [R2g2e], daughter of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born on 13 January 1814 (age 36 in 1850, 44 in 1860, 56 in 1870) in Bradford Co PA. She married Ira Merrill on 14 January 1838, and died 3 October 1900 age “86 Yrs 8 M’s & 20 d’s.” Maria is buried in the Merrill family cemetery near Litchfield. Her daughter Marion C Merrill’s gravestone says “dau of / Ira & Murial / Merrill” Either the stone was hard to read at the end of the 20th Century, or Murial was actually Maria’s name; she used the name Marie and Maria most of her life. Her gravestone in the same cemetery says “Maria C / wife of / Ira Merrill / died / Oct 3, 1900 / Aged 86 Yrs 8 M’s & 20 d’s.”

        Ira was born 20 April 1808 in Litchfield Twp, son of Eleazer Merrill Jr and Nancy Booth, and died 31 March 1878 at Litchfield. Ira was also was buried in the Merrill family cemetery. After Ira died, Maria lived with their son Alonzo. Ira’s father Eleazor Merrill, born 1772 in CT and Watson Park, born 1836 in PA. lived with them in 1850. Ira’s mother was Nancy Booth, who died in 1842. Next door in 1850 thru 1870 was Ira’s brother Thomas B Merrill, born 1805 in PA. Maria and Ira had nine children, all born at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA; she claimed seven with six still living, in 1900-

1.     Edwin Elijah S Merrill, b 22 May 1840

2.     Cynthia Eliza Merrill, b 13 Nov 1841

        Marion Elizabeth Wolcott [R2g2m], daughter of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born 29 October 1831 in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA. She married Walter Kerr Green on 8 January 1857, and died 12 February 1917. Walter was born in September 1830 in TN, and in 1860 they lived at Cherry, Sullivan Co PA. In 1870 they lived at Athens, Bradford Co (family #23) and Walter was then a lumberman. In 1880 they were still at Athens. In 1900 and 1910 they lived at Richmond, NY. They had eight children, all born in PA, and five still alive in 1910-

1.     Harry C Green, b 1859

2.     child Green, b & d 1857-1880 (203uv)

3.     child Green, b & d 1857-1880 (203uv)

4.     Craig W Green, b Sep 1866

5.     Euphemia Marion Green, b Jul 1869

6.     Mary Wolcott Green, b Dec 1871

7.     child Green, b & d 1857-1880 (203uv)

8.     Virginia Green, b Apr 1880

The 1870 Bradford Co census taker must have had bad hearing: most of the names for this family were not accurate. Marion was Mariah, son Harry C was Harry D, etc. (MA, 54, 114knrs, 204q, 203uv)

        Marion L Wolcott [R2g2j3], daughter of Amos Prentice Wolcott and Esther J Munn, was born in 1857 in PA. She married Franklin L Decker in 1877 and they lived at Athens. He was born 25 September 1856 at Croton, NY, son of Charles J Decker and Catherine Stickel. Marion died before 1900 and Frank then lived with his parents at Athens. Their son was also not found after 1880, so perhaps he died when Marion died. Franklin died 25 July 1942 at Athens and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. He was a machinist for bridge building. They had a son-

a.     Clyde Decker, b 1879 (114s) (W,114rsc)

        Mark Pomeroy Wolcott [R2g2d3c], son of Theron D Wolcott and Evaline L Hastings, was born 14 September 1877 in Bradford Co PA. He was a law student in 1900. Mark never finished law school, and moved to Brooklyn, NY where he was a salesman in an electric supply store. He married Maud Walton in 1908. She was born in OH on 17 November 1880. In the early 1910s they moved to Mansfield, Richland Co OH and Mark was a salesman there, in a brass shop. In 1930 he was an engineer for an electric company. Mark died on 24 April 1958 at Mansfield. Maud died after Mark. They had two sons, both born in OH-

1.     Mark W Wolcott, b 16 Apr 1915, lived in PA in the 1940s, and died at Salt Lake City, UT on 18 September 1993. (Z,210wf)

2.     Richard H Wolcott, b 28 Dec 1916, died 6 October 1980 at Olympia, WA. He lived in CA in the 1940s. (Z,210wf) (W,M,114su, 72v, 210wfd)

        Martha M Wolcott [R2g2c6], daughter of Silas Park Wolcott and Maria McCullough, was born 6 November 1853 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She died 2 October 1858 and was buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield with her father. Her gravestone says “dau of Silas and Maria Wolcott.” (B,114c)

        Mary “Molly” Wolcott [R2g1], daughter of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born 16 October 1779 in PA and died on 16 June 1869 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married Thomas Atherton Munn in 1797 in Lancaster Co PA and they moved to Litchfield Twp in 1806. He was born 12 July 1778 in either NJ, NY, or CT, depending on different sources. In 1800 he lived at Ulysses, Cayuga Co NY, next door to a Wolcott family. Since these two families lived next door to each other, this cannot be ignored; if they are not the families of Mary and of Thomas, then they must be closely related. The head of the Wolcott family cannot be read from this old census, but in his home were two boys under age 10, one boy age 10 to 15, and one 16 to 25, and the head of the home was age 45 or older; the only female was a young adult, age 16 to 25.

        Thomas died 1 June 1850 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. Where he and Mary are buried is not known, but is probably in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield; their son Lemuel, who died as a young man, is buried there. After Thomas died, Mary lived with her son Elijah in 1850 and 1860. In 1820 in Athens Twp, Bradford Co PA living close to Thomas were many Willett, Merrill, and Park families. Living close by in 1840 was son Elijah, and brother Benjamin Wolcott [R2g9], born in the 1790s. Mary and Thomas had fourteen children, most of whom lived in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co. The family numbers of the 1850 census are given after their names so that you can see how close they lived to each other as adults-

        Mary Ada Wolcott [R2g2h4e], daughter of Neil Wayne Wolcott and Martha J LaMont, was born 19 March 1890 at Mexico, Oswego Co NY. She died in 1912, perhaps at Jericho, Chittenden Co VT where her parents lived in 1910. (W,114u, 325v)

        Mary Ann Wolcott [R2g2c3], daughter of Silas Park Wolcott and Maria McCullough, was born 6 April 1846 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA (age 5 in 1850, 32 in 1880, 46 in 1900). She married James J Dunham in 1872 and lived at Barton, Tioga Co NY at first. James was born in NJ in August 1846 (age 38 in 1880) and was a wagon maker in 1880. He was a junk dealer in 1900 at Waverly. They had two children, both born in NY (Mary claimed she had one child in 1900, but the 1880 census showed two)-

a.     Myrta M Dunham, b 1874 in NY. (68s)

b.     Owen S Dunham, b Jun 1876 in NY. (68su) (W,B,114nq,68su)

        Mary B Wolcott [R2g2d5], daughter son of Samuel Park Wolcott and Lydia Bidlack, was born 2 April 1842 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She was “M T Wolcott” in 1850 and Maria in 1860. Mary married Frederick Gohl on 22 April 1869 at Litchfield and in 1900 they lived at Athens, Bradford Co. Fred was born 29 July 1837 at Salladasburg, Lycoming Co PA, son of Jacob Gohl and Catherine Eckhardt (both born at Württemberg, Germany in 1803), and died at home in 1904 at Athens. Frederick enlisted in the Civil War and was in Company K, 8th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Cavalry. He lost a foot in that war. Mary was a widow at Athens in 1910, and her recently married daughter lived with her. Mary was not found in 1920; she died 3 October 1910 at Athens. Both were buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens (the only two Gohl graves there). Fred at first worked in a saw mill in Lycoming Co soon after they married, but in 1880 he was a grocer at Athens. They had two children, with one still alive in 1880-

a.     child Gohl, b & d 1870s, probably in Lycoming Co PA. (114su)

b.     Euphemia M Gohl, b Jun 1874

Lycoming Co PA is the county just southwest of Bradford Co.

Jacob Gohl came to the USA on 2 August 1830, arriving at Philadelphia on the Brig Isabella. He died in August 1879 at Mifflin, Lycoming Co PA. He and Catherine married in Württemberg, Germany on 8 Jul 1827. Württemberg was a kingdom in southwest Germany until 1806 when it became a state. After WW II, it was combined with the state of Baden on its northwest side to become Baden-Württemberg. (JB,M,S,208nr,130s, 114Nnqmsuv)

        Mary Edith Wolcott [R2g9d13], daughter of Henry Brown Wolcott and Ruth Taylor, was born 8 (or 29?) July 1874 at Millbrook, Mecosta, MI. She died there on 3 February 1881 of diphtheria age “6 years, 6 months, 5 days” which gives a birth date of 29 July 1874. Source 112 said she was born on July 8. (W,112, 122sd)

        Mary Ethel Wolcott [R2g9d2g], daughter of Lewis Erwin Wolcott and Mary E Heald, was born 20 September 1891 in Mecosta Co MI, and lived in Leelanau Co in 1900, then was in King Co WA in 1910. She married I B Graham about 1911 and in 1920 they lived at Tacoma. In 1930 they lived at Bothell, King Co. Mr I B was born in North Dakota Territory on 21 October 1886, son of Waite G Graham and Abbie Frances Pike, and was a house carpenter. This Graham family was found on the WA state census of 1 April 1892, and I B was then 3 years old. Most other census records show that I B was born in 1886 or 1887, and his WW I draft record gave a birth date of 1885; his Social Security death record gave a birth date of 1886. On the draft record, he named his closest relative as “Mrs Ethel Graham,” and signed the card as “I B Graham.” He apparently was never given full names, just two initials. I B died 26 June 1967 at Everett, King Co WA, but lived at Bothell then. Ethel died in Snohomish Co on 15 December 1982. They had three children-

1.     Kathrine E Graham, b 1912 in WA. (332w, 139f)

2.     Lew W Graham, b 20 Jun 1915 in MT, grew up in WA. He died at Stanwood, Snohomish Co on 29 March 1993. (Z,332w, 139f)

3.     Frances M Graham, b Aug 1919 in WA. (332w,139f) (W,M,Z, WAd,232u, 139vfd, 332w)

        Mary Frances “Mamie” Wolcott [R2g2c5a], daughter of Silas J Wolcott and Frances Elliott, was born 17 March 1887 at Litchfield, PA. She married Floyd Leander Munn [R2g1c1d1]. Her line is continued under his name.

        Mary “Polly” Moore Wolcott [R2g2g], daughter of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born on 27 February 1819 (age 29 in 1850) at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. Polly married Henry Wood about 1839 and they at first lived at Litchfield next door to her recently married brother Elijah, her brother Samuel P, and her widowed mother. Henry was born in 1818 in CT, and died “18 August 1851 age 33yr;” he was age 30 in 1850 and Polly was age 29. See his son James’ biography.

James Bidlack (born 1778, died in 1828) and Esther Moore (born in 1787, died in 1863) were married in Bradford Co in 1803. Esther was a daughter of Daniel Moore, a ferry boat operator. (MA, 102, JB,114knqrsc)

        Sarah Sophronia Wolcott [R2g9d1], daughter of Henry Brown Wolcott and Ruth Taylor, was born 30 October 1850 in Tioga Co NY. She grew up in Shiawassee Co MI, in IL, and in Bradford Co PA. She married James Edwin Royce on 15 September 1867 in MI. He was born in September 1843 in NY but grew up in Ingham Co MI. His parents were Orin A Royce and Cornelia _____ (both born in NY). In 1920 Sarah and James lived at Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI. In Boyd Cemetery, Mecosta Co there were seven Royce graves, but none of them appear to be descendants or parents of James and Sarah. Sarah claimed she had seven children by 1900, yet census records show that there were at least nine then, and in 1910 had ten children with seven still alive. Perhaps the actual number of children in 1900 were seven still alive, but ten were born by then-

Sarah’s uncle Sylvester K Wolcott [R2g9g] lived with her and Edwin in 1880.

There were just two choices, from 1850 and 1860 census records, as to who James Royce’s parents were. In Genesee Co NY in 1850 and 1860 there was a James Royce with a sister named Mary O Royce, born in 1845. But that James had a middle initial L, even though he appeared to be born in 1843. His parents were James M Royce and Mary B _____. But in Ingham Co MI in 1850 and in 1860 there was a James Royce, born in 1843 in NY. He was a son of Orin A Royce and his wife Cornelia _____. Ingham Co is in south central MI, three counties southeast of Mecosta Co These two cases of James Royce in 1850 and 1860 gives just one conclusion: The James Royce who married Sarah Sophronia Wolcott was the one who grew up in Ingham Co. James, in Ingham Co, had siblings named Hugh Royce, born in 1848 in MI, and Olive Royce, born in 1846 in NY. Hence, this family moved to Ingham Co about 1847 from NY. Hugh Royce was still living in Ingham Co in 1870. (112,147nq, 114q, 122suvw)

        Shirley Wolcott [R2g2h8a2e], daughter of Gersley H Wolcott and Ruby Hall, married Richard L Dildine and lived at Athens, Bradford Co PA in 2005. Richard was born in 1936. They had children. (114NP)

        Silas B Wolcott [R2g7], son of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott, was born 17 August 1793. He married Effa Pixley and they moved out West. “Out West” in a 1913 Bradford Co PA history book can even be northwest of Bradford Co, such as Ithaca, Tompkins Co NY. Silas was living at Ithaca in 1830. He was “Silas B Wolcott” in the census record, and was born in the 1790s. This must be the son of Margaret Rowan and Silas Wolcott (Sr). His wife was of the same age as Silas B, born in the 1790s. Silas B died 17 January 1840. They had three or four children by 1830; one girl in their home was born between 1811 and 1815, so could have been a younger sister of either Silas B or his wife Effa-

Also living in Tompkins Co in 1830 were Nathaniel Wolcott, George Wolcott, and Premeins Wolcott. None lived in the same area as Silas B, and from their names, none appear to be siblings of Silas B. (MA,W, 102, 191j)

        Silas J Wolcott [R2g2c5], son of Silas Park Wolcott and Maria McCullough, was born 22 June 1856 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. He was not married by 1880, but did marry Frances M Elliott on 9 September 1884, and they lived at Litchfield into the 1930s. She was born at Chemung, NY in January 1862, daughter of John Elliott and Elizabeth _____, both of Chemung, NY. In every census where Frances was found, with one exception (when she was a teen, in 1880), she consistently gave her age as if she was born in 1862. Silas J died in 1933 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery. Frances died in 1949 and was buried with Silas. Her gravestone’s dates are 1862 - 1949. They had one child-

a.     Mary Frances Wolcott, b 17 Mar 1887

Living with them in 1920 was Silas’ brother Raymond and Raymond’s wife. Their close neighbors in 1930 were brother Raymond Wolcott [R2g2c6], great nephew Charles Alonzo Merrill [R2g2a5c4], and cousins Floyd Leander Munn [R2g1c1c1], Claude Henry Park [R2g10m2h], Gertrude Pauline Bensley [R2g2d1a1], and Ford Emery Wolcott [R2g2d8b]. (W,B,144qrs, 114qrsuvwfc)

        Silas Park Wolcott [R2g2c], son of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born on 4 August 1809 in Bradford Co PA. He married Maria McCullough on 29 April 1839. In 1850 they lived in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA four doors from his aunt Margaret Wolcott [R2g10] and her husband Thomas P Park; for years they lived close to aunt Margaret. Maria was born 4 October 1820 in PA, daughter of parents from England. Silas died on 13 August 1870, probably at Litchfield where they lived, and was buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield “age 61 y 9 d.” Maria lived at Litchfield in 1880, a widow, with three of her sons. She died in 1912 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. They had six children by 1860, and all born at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA-

        Stanley E Wolcott [R2g2b2b3], son of George Emerson Wolcott and Edna M Harkness, was born 12 April 1910 at Springfield, Bradford Co PA. He married Myra Adell Fisher in December 1936. Myra was born 8 February 1911 at Ellicottville, Cattaraugus Co NY, daughter of Stanley Dwight Fisher and Verna Ruth Howe, and died at Phoenix, AZ on 19 April 1992. Stanley died in May 1966. They are both buried in Grover Hill Cemetery at Springfield. Myra married second to Leslie D Meeker. He was born 9 August 1921, and died 17 January 1996 at Phoenix. (W,Z, 114vwf)

        Stella Morilla Wolcott [R2g2c1a], daughter of Aaron M Wolcott and Maria Lovina Merrill, was born 1 August 1867 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. She married George W Norris about 1890 and they lived at Athens in 1900. George was born in NY in June 1866. He was a “milk peddler” at Athens; in 1910 he was a “milk dealer” and in 1920 his job description was a Creamery Merchant. In 1930 George was a building painter and they still lived at Sayre. In 1900 Stella’s two bachelor brothers lived with her and George. They lived next door in 1910 at Sayre. In 1920 Stella’s brother Austin still lived next door, at Sayre. Stella had no children. She died in 1943 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. George died in 1953 and was buried with Stella. (W,B, 114suvwfc)

        Susannah Park Wolcott [R2g2a], daughter of Elijah Micah Wolcott and Elizabeth Park, was born on 6 June 1805 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married Hiram Merrill on 17 September 1823 at Litchfield. He was born 3 March 1798 at Farmington, Hartford Co CT, son of Eleazor Merrill Jr (born 25 Jul 1772) and Nancy Booth (born 18 May 1768). In the 1830 census, in the first two pages of Litchfield Twp (pages 76 & 77), were Hiram’s home (he was age 30s), and next door was George Merrill (age 40s, probably a brother of Hiram); nearby was Milo Merrill (age 30s, brother of Hiram), John Wolcott (age 40s), Charles Munn [R2g1a] (age 30s), Silas Munn [R2g1b] (age 30s), Susannah’s father Elijah Wolcott [R2g2] (age 40s), and Elisha Merrill (age 20s, brother of Hiram), Thomas Merrill (age 20s, brother of Hiram), & Eleazer Merrill (age 50s, father of Hiram), Silas Wolcott (age 70s, husband of Margaret Rowan [R2g]), and Benjamin Wolcott [R2g9] (age 30s).

        Susannah died 6 May 1843 at Litchfield and was buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield. Hiram then married Mrs Nellie Veightnor (Gore) West about 1845 at Litchfield, but they had no children by 1850. Nellie was born in 19 April 1799 in PA, daughter of Samuel Gore and Sarah Brokaw, and died 24 August 1857 in Bradford Co. In 1860 Hiram’s wife was Mary Wolcott [R2g2g], Susannah’s sister whose husband Henry Wood died in 1851; she was Hiram’s third wife. Hiram died 19 June 1879 at Litchfield and was buried with Susanna. Their double-gravestone is so eroded more than a century later that it is barely readable. They had at least seven children, all born at Litchfield-

1.     Elizabeth Nancy Merrill, b 7 Jul 1826

2.     girl Merrill, b 1826-1830, was alive in 1840. (114jk)

3.     Chester Samuel Merrill, b 14 Apr 1929

4.     Edwin R Merrill, b 12 Oct 1831

5.     William C Merrill, b 12 Sep 1833

6.     Elijah W Merrill, b 23 Jul 1835

7.     Sally Merrill, b 1836 (114kn)

8.     Nancy E Merrill, b abt Oct 1837

In 1860 in Hiram’s home, in addition to wife Mary Wolcott, were Mary’s son Elias Wood, and Elisha Haley (born 1856 in PA) and George Wolcott (born 1845 in PA).

Some family researchers claim that Joshua Merrill, born 3 September 1824 in Litchfield Twp was a son of Hiram and Susannah. But the 1830 census does not show two sons of that age; there was just one son, age under 5, for Hiram, and he was Chester Merrill. But George Merrill, who lived next door to Hiram, did have two sons under age 5 and a son born between 1821 and 1825. One of those three was perhaps Joshua Merrill. Also, Hiram’s brother Elisha had two sons in 1830; one was born between 1821 and 1825 (Joshua?), and the second born between 1826 and 1830. In 1840 George Merrill, probably Hiram’s brother, was gone from the county (died?), and in Hiram’s home were four sons instead of one. One of those four was the boy from the 1830 census, born between 1826 and 1830 (Chester, born in 1829). But there was an unexplained extra boy, born between 1821 and 1825, plus the two sons of Hiram who were born after 1830 and were alive in 1840 (William and Elijah). The extra boy could be Joshua, taken in by his uncle Hiram. Elisha B Merrill, Hiram’s brother, had 4 sons in 1840; one was a boy from the 1830 census (James, born 1826-1830), plus three more born between 1830 and 1840 (Lyman, Horace, and Eli); the eldest son, born between 1821 and 1825 was missing in 1840. Did Joshua move over to his uncle Hiram’s home to work as a farm hand? In 1850 Joshua was married and was family #106 at Litchfield; Elisha B Merrill was family #99. Hiram Merrill was family #4, a much larger distance from either Joshua or Elisha.

We do know that Joshua Merrill’s great grandson was Arlington Wood, born in 1895 and a son of John A Wood (he a son of Elias R Wood and Sally Ann Merrill). The only name Arlington found in prior years was Celestia Arlington, first wife of Elisha B Merrill. Elisha B and Celestia Arlington married on 12 Oct 1826. (MA,W, 114jknqc)

        Sylvester K Wolcott [R2g9g], son of Benjamin Wolcott and Elizabeth Merrill, was born 20 February1831 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. He moved to Shiawassee Co MI in 1856 and under the Homestead Act he claimed 120 acres. Soon after he moved to IL and stayed for five years, but then moved back to Shiawassee Co MI, stayed three and one half years, and then moved to PA until late 1868, and moved back to MI with his parents and settled at Millbrook, Mecosta Co. Sylvester then bought 80 acres next to his original 160 acres. He had no wife in 1870. In 1878 he sold 40 acres. In 1880 he lived with his niece Sarah Sophronia Wolcott (Mrs James Edwin Royce) at Millbrook, Mecosta Co. Sylvester was then (June 1880) shown to be married, yet there was no wife with him. In April 1888 he sold 80 acres. After years of living in MI, Sylvester moved back to Bradford Co PA and there married his cousin Countess D Wolcott [R2g2j1] on 27 October 1881 at Athens. The 1900 census shows that they had been married for 19 years, but since he claimed in June 1880 that he was married then, then Countess may be a second wife. In 1900 he and Countess lived with her widowed mother at Litchfield. Countess was a daughter of Amos Prentice Wolcott and Esther J Munn, and was born 26 April 1852 at Litchfield, Bradford Co. Sylvester died 8 September 1906. Countess lived in a boarding house (602 Second St) in 1907 at Athens and the city directory showed her as a widow of “S K.” Her son “Earl Wolcott” lived with her then. She was a widow, working as a house maid for Mrs Mary E VanLoan at Athens in 1920, but she lived with her son Earl. In 1930 she and Earl lived at Sayre. Countess, in her old age, walked in front of an auto and was killed on 21 July 1932. She and Sylvester are both buried in Tioga Point Cemetery in Bradford Co. Sylvester and Countess had two children-

        Ada L Wood [R2g2g4g], daughter of Elias R Wood and Sally Ann Merrill, was born in January 1885 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. She married William George VanEtten in 1901 when she was about age 16. William was born at Lockwood, Tioga Co NY on 23 February 1879, son of Richard Alonzo VanEtten (born May 1849 in PA) and Ethalinda Hill (born Aug 1851 PA). He at first was a farmer, but in 1918 worked for the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Sayre as a hostler. They had four children in rapid succession by 1910, and the last was born in April 1900, so Ada’s parents temporarily took one daughter to give Ada some relief. In 1930 Ada and William lived in Tompkins Co NY; Ada was a housekeeper for widower Frank Aiken (two years older than Ada), and William and most older children lived with recently married daughter Bertha at Enfield, while most younger children lived with Ada at Danby. Ada and William had at least nine children-

        Arlington E Wood [R2g2g4a1], son of John A Wood and an unknown mother, was born 25 May 1895 at Barton, Tioga Co NY. He at first would appear to be the youngest son of Elias R Wood and Sally Ann Merrill, born ten years after their prior child Ada, but in 1910 Arlington lived with his uncle Franklin Wood at Tioga, Tioga Co NY, and Franklin named Arlington as a “nephew,” not a brother. Arlington was of age to be a son of Prudence or any of Franklin’s siblings older than Prudence Wood. The likely parent must be Franklin’s eldest brother John A Wood, who had married about 1893 and was a widow by 1900. In 1920 Arlington lived with his widowed grandmother Sally Ann (Merrill) Wood, who also lived with Sally’s son George. Arlington was called a “grandson” then. (M,114uw,68v)

        Charles S Wood [R2g2g3], son of Mary Moore Wolcott and Henry Wood, was born in 1845 in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA. He married Mary Buffam about 1870 and they lived at Rome Bradford Co in 1870, but were at Athens in 1880, and at Troy in 1910. She was born in 1844 in PA. They had two children, both alive in 1910-

b.     Myrtile M Wood, b 5 Apr 1875 (114nsuv)

        Edna S Wood [R2g2g4b2], daughter of Silas F Wood and Sarah E _____, was born in July 1898 at Athens, PA. She married George Rex Lovejoy in 1914 when she was age 16. He was born at Candor, Tioga Co NY on 31 March 1890, son of Jerome Lovejoy and Adaline Esther Hover.In 1920 they lived at Candor, Tioga Co, as did her parents; in 1930 they lived at Ithaca, NY (519 W Clinton St), as did her parents.

        Elias R Wood [R2g2g4], son of Mary Moore Wolcott and Henry Wood, was born in April 1847 in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA. He lived with his mother and step-father Hiram Merrill in 1860.

In 1870 and 1880 Elias and Sally lived at Litchfield next door to her parents. He was a stone mason, constable, and carpenter at Litchfield. Sally died there in 1922. They had seven children by 1900 and 1910, all still alive. Only six ever shows in census records (the 1890 census does not exist). Therefore there must have been a child (a daughter?) born about 1882, and had married before 1900-

a.     John A Wood, b Apr 1868

b.     Silas F Wood, b Jun 1871

c.     Prudence A Wood, b 1873

d.     Franklin C Wood, b Nov 1876

e.     George Elias Wood, b 15 Sep 1880

f.     child Wood (a daughter?), b abt 1882 and married by 1900. In the 1900 and 1910 census, Sally Ann claimed that she had seven children and all were still alive, yet one never showed on any census record with Elias and Sally. Therefore this missing child must have been born just after the 1880 census, married and left home before June 1900. (114uv)

g.     Ada L Wood, b Jan 1885

Daughter Ada had a daughter who lived with Silas and Sally in 1900. Ada had just recently given birth to her fourth child, so Ada’s parents helped out by taking Ada’s 6 year old Bertha VanEtten into their home for a while. (W,114nqrsuvP)

b.     Moses Haley, b Jul 1858

c.     Deborah Haley, b 1862

d.     Elias H Haley, b Jul 1866

e.     Sarah Belle Haley, b Sep 1876

Elisha Haley, age 4, lived with Elizabeth’s mother in 1860. Elizabeth was not in their home in 1860. Michael Haley came to the US in 1844. (W,114nr, 68su)

        George Elias Wood [R2g2g4e], son of Elias R Wood and Sally Ann Merrill, was born 15 September 1880 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. On his 1918 draft registration, he said he worked for “Sally Ann Wood” at Sayre and his wife was “Clara Wood.” The 1900 census gave his birth date as September 1889, but the WW I draft registration showed the 1880 date. In 1920 George lived at Litchfield and was then age 39, so the draft card birth date must have been the correct one. He lived with his widowed mother at Litchfield in 1920, and had been married by September 1918. His wife was Clara Louise Weil, born in 1891 in NY. Her parents were Alfred Weil and Amelia Rocktaschl. They had a son-

        James Wood [R2g2g7], son of Mary Moore Wolcott and Henry Wood, was born in September 1851 in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA, and died 26 February 1855 at “age 3y 5 m” and was buried in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA with his siblings and father. Actually the gravestone was read with a death date of 26 February 1856, putting his birth date in September 1852. Apparently the gravestone of James was read incorrectly, or James’ father’s gravestone was read incorrectly, or James’ mother had an affair after James’ father died. James’ gravestone also says “son of H & M Wood.” Probably James’ gravestone said he died in 1855 since a weathered 5 and 6 are very similar on old gravestones. (JY,114c)

        John A Wood [R2g2g4a], son of Elias R Wood and Sally Ann Merrill, was born in April 1868 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA.
