I have been doing a major review, correcting and updating of my genealogy pages some of which I started over 30 years ago. I have focused on the direct ancestors and have not checked all the data on siblings and their descendants. I have removed many speculative ancestors which has no sources to support them. I use Wikitree to check current research. It is the most up to date research in terms of accuracy as you must put in sources. Its goal is to have one profile per person and resolve conflicting trees. Find A Grave but especially ancestry.com trees are riddled with errors. Errors found in ancestry.com are impossible to correct as trees get copied and there is no mechanism to correct an error. I am now adding to Wikitree including sources in an effort to combat the errors in ancestry.com. Wikitree also can have errors or speculation but it it us significantly more accurate.

The Brown family is from well documented New England and is very extensive. Due to the size of the Brown Tree, I have split it into 3 trees/pages.

The Brown Tree is the male line of the John Quincy Brown family .
The Torrey Tree is the family of James Harvey Brown Jr's wife Christina Torrey.
The Chase Tree is the family of James Harvey Brown Sr.'s wife ChaseDelecty.

This page is the family of Christina Torrey and she is the root of this part of the tree.

DNA matches.
I have used a DNA symbol 🧬 to indicate where I have a match to someone who descends from that specific part of my tree. Unfortunately ancestry.com does not tell you where you match on your chromosomes like other DNA testing companies like Family Tree DNA or MyHeritage so I can not verify that the match is through that part of the tree. I do have other parts of the Brown tree in New England and the actual match could be through a different part of my tree. Still the number of matches to so many people in the tree supports its accuracy. And I have a lot more matches than I documented. Its time consuming to try and track the trees of my matches so if I found a lot in an area of the tree, I stopped looking for more.

Comments

The McKnight and Barrs are Presbyterian. Trees that connect them to the other religious records are unlikely. They founded Presbyterian churches and it seems to run strongly in both families.

Warrior Run Church 1775

Comments

The Barrs and James and Hannah McKnight were members of Warrior Run Church. In the early years it was a small log cabin church, It burned by the Seneca Indians during the “Great Run-Away” of 1778. By 1789 a second log church that was much larger than the first was built. This church sat in the grove of trees in front of the present structure. It could hold up to 350 people at a worship service. There was a center aisle and a balcony that ran around the interior on three sides. The balcony was accessed from two outside staircases. Up front was a high cathedral style pulpit. There was no heat in the building and oil lamps and candles provided the only light. The congregation walked long distances to attend the services. The Barrs and James had reserved pews.
John Barr On 6 Sept/Dec 1791 sells land. It states he resides in White Deer Township
Cumberland??? John Barr buys 1769 and sells 15 Dec 1785, James buys 1775 78, 86, Samuel 1779, William from Samuel 1789
A number of trees give the father as James Barr who died 1812 but that is unlikely due to his age in the 1810 census and lack of taxes in the 1780s. So I have placed him as a brother not the father of this group of siblings.
Thomas and John Barr probably moved to Turbot around 1784-5 unless they could not own land. The McKnight were paying taxes prior to this.
Thomas Barr and John Barr lived next to James McKnight in Northumberland, PA 1790 census along with Alla McMath. McMath, James and Hannah then move on to Seneca NY around 1791.

Batt Family Tree

Batt Name Meaning: English: like Bate, a derivative of the Middle English personal name Batte, a pet form of Bartholomew. English: possibly from a Middle English survival of an Old English personal name or byname Bata, of uncertain origin and meaning, but perhaps akin to batt ‘cudgel’ and so, as a byname, given to a thickset man or a belligerent one.

Comments

A monumental brass at St Nicholas Church describes him as an armiger, and as cousin and heir of Richard Beauchamp, Lord St Amand, and gives the date of his death.
In 1504 John secured the revocation of the attainder for high treason imposed on his father by Edward IV
In 1508 John inherited lands in Oxfordshire and Wiltshire from a cousin, Richard Beauchamp, Lord St Amand who died without issue. Richard Beauchamp's will bequeathed Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to John after the death of Richard's wife Anne, but in the event John inherited much more than this. The inheritance included Bromham, Wiltshire, which seems to have become his main residence.

Edward sat in Parliament at least three times, as knight of the shire for Wiltshire in 1529 and 1539, and representing Wilton, Wiltshire in 1542. He May also have been re-elected to represent Wiltshire in 1536.
Edward held lands in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire, many of which were granted to him by Henry VIII. He benefited greatly from the dissolution of the Monasteries in the second half of the 1530s, acquiring extensive properties previously in the possession of Stanley and Malmesbury Abbeys. He built a new manor house at Bromham, Wiltshire, where he hosted Henry VII twice The cost is said to have been some £15000, a huge sum for those days.
Edward was also associated with Anne Boleyn and her family, and served as Anne's vice-chamberlain. In 1533 Anne Boleyn asked for him to be granted the advowson of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Bristol.
Edward managed to avoid damage to his career when Anne Boleyn fell into disfavor, and, if anything, sought to confirm accusations against Anne, stating that others besides Mark Smeaton were involved in adultery with her.[4] He retained the position of vice-chamberlain when Jane Seymour[4] and Anne of Cleves successively became queen. His second wife Isabel Leigh was present at Jane Seymour's funeral in 1537, and was one of Anne of Cleves' four ladies of the privy chamber. He and Isabel retained their positions when Catherine Howard - half-sister to Isabel - became queen.
When Catherine Howard was arrested in the autumn of 1541, Edward was given charge of her household at Syon, Middlesex. For the second time he survived the disgrace of a queen whom he served. In 1543 he was one of the few courtiers who attended Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine Parr, and he served as Catherine's vice-chamberlain, while his wife Isabel was a "lady of the household extraordinary". That year he was admonished for eating meat during Lent, a possible sign of his Protestant leanings.

Blake Family Tree

Blake Name Meaning: English: variant of Black, meaning ‘swarthy’ or ‘dark-haired’, from a byform of the Old English adjective blæc, blac ‘black’, with change of vowel length. English: nickname from Old English blac ‘wan’, ‘pale’, ‘white’, ‘fair’. In Middle English the two words blac and blac, with opposite meanings, fell together as Middle English blake. In the absence of independent evidence as to whether the person referred to was dark or fair, it is now impossible to tell which sense was originally meant.

Jonathan settled first Cambridge (Newetowne) MA
Jonathan came by 5 Aug 1633 Hingman MA 1636.
The remainder of Jonathan's family traveled to England on the Elizabeth and Dorcas in 1634. It left from Gravesend, England and had a long passage and being hurt upon a rock at Sicily and very ill victualed, she lost sixty passengers at sea. Edward Bosworth died on the ship in Boston Harbor, resulting in great hardship for his family. Widow Mary Bosworth and the children were awarded financial assistance from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The shipboard passage for the Bosworth family was paid by Henry Sewall. Perhaps they came from where Henry Sewill resided in Coventry in Warwickshire. On 7 Jul 1635, the Massachusetts Bay Court Record includes the document in which Edward's sons and son-in-law agree to make repayment to Henry Sewall.
The family moves to Hingham, which was incorporated 2 Sept. 1635, and were among the original proprietors.

Comments

an English peer who lived under two kings, Edward I and Edward II.
By 1295, Ferrers was abroad on royal service, and acting as Edward I's agent at the Duke of Brabant's court in Hainault. and he took part in taking part in the King's military campaign. Other royal service included on the Scottish Marches under both King Edwards in their various campaigns there.
In 1296, under the King's instruction, the Keeper of Scotland, John de Warenne restored Ferrers to his Scottish estates that the King still held. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk on 22 July 1298 and at the Siege of Caerlaverock two years later. Following the siege, the Keeper of Galloway also by order of King Edward, restored to Ferrers those estates in that region that the King had still held. In 1301 William Ferrers was signatory to the (eventually unsent) Barons' Letter of 1301 to Pope Boniface VIII, in which Ferrers and 95 other English barons and five English earls repudiated the Pope's claim to overlordship of the Kingdom of Scotland.and defended the aggressive policy of King Edward I.
The barony was created by writ on 29 December 1299, and William was summoned to parliament. Financial problems in the early fourteenth-century led him into conflict with his cousin John Ferrers which centred over a disputed claim to the Newbottle manor. The feud was periodically suspended when both parties fought alongside the King in Scotland, specifically when William was there again in 1303, 1306, 1308, and 1311.
In 1317 Edward II appointed him Constable of Somerton Castle in Lincolnshire. His final summons to military service was on 1 May 1325.

Active during the reigns of Edward II abd Edward III.
He hmarried Isabel de Verdun, who was coheiress to Theobald de Verdun, 2nd Baron Verdun (who had died in 1316). This resulted in Henry Ferrers obtaining possession of property, through his wife, in Ireland and throughout the English Midlands, from Gloucestershire and Derbyshire. He also received the reversion of many of his mother-in-law's manors.
Isabel de Verdun. She was a granddaughter of King Edward I of England. When she was a child, Isabel was imprisoned in Barking Abbey, along with her mother and half-sister, after her stepfather had joined the Earl of Lancaster's ill-fated rebellion against King Edward II. She was not quite 14 when her forst child was born.
By 1325, he was with the Prince of Wales, Edward of Windsor in France, having accompanied Henry Beaumont in his retinue. Events in England were however coming to a head at this time. In 1327, King Edward II was overthrown and forced to abdicate by his wife, Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, but by the end of the decade their regime had become equally unpopular, and there was increasing baronial opposition to their rule.
From at least 1329 then, Henry Ferrers was also in the service of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, a leader of that opposition, and Ferrers provided military assistance at Bedford with him in January that year in the earl's chevauchée against Isabella and Mortimer. As a result, his lands were confiscated by their regime, but were released back to him in February, and Ferrers was allowed to avoid payment of a £5,000 fine that had been levied on him.[4] Ferrers was partly responsible for the capture and eventual hanging at Tyburn of the Queen's lover, Roger Mortimer, and for this he later received a pardon for any offences committed in the course of this episode.
Soon after, Ferrers was appointed to the earl's council, for which he received an annuity of £100. Ferrers was also due to take part in the aborted Irish campaign of 1332 (with "as great a force as he could muster"), but he did fight as one of the 'Disinherited' with Edward Balliol against Scotland later the same year. He was appointed Keeper of the Channel Islands in 1333, and two years later he received the Constableship of Berwick-on-Tweed, prior to a return to military service in Scotland in 1336. He was also intermittently Justice of Chester between 1336 and 1342. As both royal councillor and King's Chamberlain, Ferrers played an important role in the Edward III's military campaigns of the 1330s. Not only did he play an active role in the actual fighting, but he was responsible for negotiating alliances (such as that with the Count of Flanders) and loans for the King. In the case of the latter he was often the Ing's personal guarantor. In return, Ferrers was granted various profitable concessions from the wine trade and the right to hold weekly markets and fairs in Groby, Woodham, and Stebbing. In 1337, he received a royal grant of manors in Buckinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Essex., which together provided an annual income of £160. He was also promised 460 marks per annum by Edward III in view of Ferrers' almost constant service at this time; in 1431 he once again travelled abroad for the King, this time to Brittany.

Comments

William Ferrers grew up as the bubonic plague was ravaging the country, and like everywhere else, this had a severely deletorious effect on the Ferrers family's finances. Almost entire villages were being wiped out (for example, that of Hethe, one of the Ferrers' manors, lost 21 out of its 27 villeins) which meant whole crops were being lost and the value of those manors collapsed.
He took part in some of the major campaigns of the first part of the Hundred Years' War.
Ferrers was knighted by 1351, and the Queen granted him the estates of his that she held. Two years later, having paid homage to Edward III, he received livery of his estates in England and Ireland. Perhpas because of the Black Death Ferrers exchanged many of his outlying estates (for example, those in Shropshire) for some closer to home (in Buckinghamshire), with the Earl of March in the late 1350s. By 1364 he had also sold his remaining lands in Ireland, having already been exonerated from having taxes levied on his Irish estates for defence of that country in 1460, due to his constant service with the king in the preceding years, "at great cost to himself."\
Ferrers accompanied the Black Prince to Gascony in 1355. fought at the Battle of Crecy in 1355[citation needed], at Poitiers the following year, and was with Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster in the 1359–60 Reims campaign. Ferrers last served in France in 1369 again with Lancaster, raiding Picardy and Caux that July.

He was christened on 25 Apr 1372 at Luton, Bedfordshire, England.
In his will, he requested burial at Ulverscroft Priory, Leicester along with his granfather and grea-grandfather.
Because his eldest son died before him, the Ferrers barony descended to his granddaughter's husband. Thus, when William Ferrers died, the Ferrers line, which had begun in England with the Norman conquest, after which they were first granted lands in Leicestershire came to an end.

Hooker Family Tree

Hooker Name Meaning: English (mainly southeastern): variant of Hook which is from Middle English hoke, Old English hoc ‘hook’, in any of a variety of senses: as a metonymic occupational name for someone who made and sold hooks as agricultural implements or employed them in his work; as a topographic name for someone who lived by a ‘hook’ of land, i.e. the bend of a river or the spur of a hill; or as a nickname (in part a survival of an Old English byname) for someone with a hunched back or a hooked nose. A similar ambiguity of interpretation presents itself in the case of Crook. In some cases the surname May be habitational from any of various places named Hook(e), from this word, as for example in Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, and Worcestershire. Swedish (Hö(ö)k): nickname or a metonymic occupational name from hök ‘hawk’, a soldier’s name. , with the addition of the agent suffix -er.

In 1626 he was a lectured at Chelmsford Church Essex then open a school Little Baddow were John Eliot (later an Indian apostle) was his assistant.

Thomas Hooker

He was selected pastor of the church at Newtown (now Cambridge), Massachusetts. He is thus attributed as being the first minister of the First Parish in Cambridge, a church that still exists in the present day. His home was on a plot of land which today is part of the yard at Harvard College. His land in Cambride (Newtowne) 1 May 1633 In Towne one house with a garden and backside aboute one roode. William Peintrery one the northt west, Cow yard one the north east ffeeidd lane one the south east Braintree steet one the south west. He sold land 2 May 1636
In 1636, Thomas Hooker led his congregation west to found the new English settlement at Hartford, Connecticut. One of the reasons he left Massachusetts was his failure to agree with John Winthrop about who should take part in civil government. Winthrop held that only admitted members of the Church should vote and hold office; Hooker maintained that any adult male who owned property should be able to vote and participate in civil government, regardless of church membership.
He and his party traveled on a trail that is now known as the Old Connecticut Path. After settling in Hartford, Hooker continued to be in contact with John Winthrop and Roger Williams. Hooker traveled to Boston often to help settle inter-colonial disputes. He is also remembered for his role in creating the "Fundamental Orders of Connecticut". This document is one of the modern world's first written constitutions and an influence upon the current American Constitution, written nearly a century and a half later.
He took part in the trials of Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson and in several church councils. His book, 'A Survey of the Summe of Church-Discipline', is considered one of the best expositions of Puritan church doctrine.
Sussanah became "waiting-gentlewoman" to Mrs. Joane (Tothill) Drake, who was the eldest of the thirty-three children of William Tothill, Esq., lord of the Manor of Shardeloes in Amersham, and had married in 1603 Franceis Drake, Esq. of Esher, co. Surrey, a suburb of London. While living in this household Susan Garbrand became acquainted with Rev. Thomas Hooker, who in 1620 became curate of Esher and "had his diet and lodging" in Mr. Drake's house.

Leigh Family Tree

Leigh Name Meaning: English: habitational name from any of the numerous places (in at least sixteen counties, but especially Leigh in Lancashire) named either with the nominative case of Old English leah ‘woodland clearing’ (see Lee) or with leage, a late dative form of this word (see Lye).

Immigrant Anne Baynton of Massuchutes descents from Edward ! King of England and and his ancestors. This means we also descend from Charlemagne, See the list of gateway ancestors for the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne.

This is from the book by Gary Boyd Roberts. "The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants : to the American Colonies or the United States Who Were Themselves Notable or Left Descendants Notable in American History. With a 2008 Addendum, Coda, and Final Addition." Gary Boyd Roberts is a premier genealogist for the New England Genealogical Society and this was published 2008 so it is very solid.

Mansfield Family Tree

Mansfield Name Meaning: English: habitational name from a place in Nottinghamshire. The early forms, from Domesday Book to the early 13th century, show the first element uniformly as Mam-, and it is therefore likely that this was a British hill-name meaning ‘breast’ (compare Manchester), with the later addition of Old English feld ‘pasture’, ‘open country’ (see Field) as the second element.

Story of the death of James McKnight from the ANNALS OF BUFFALO VALLEY

"Aaron K. Gift, Esquire, of Middleburg, furnished me with the following narrative of this occurrence, as related by his grandfather, Jeremiah Gift, who died at an advanced age, in 1843. Michael Lepley and Herrold served in the militia and were stationed at Fort Freeland, near which lived a family named McKnight, father and son. They secured a guard consisting of fourteen persons, among whom were Jacob Gift, Michael Lepley, and Herrold, to go to milk their cows. The cows were driven into a pen, and while milking, they were surprised by a party of thirty Indians, who fired upon them. They were so completely surprised, they could make very little resistance. Lep- ley, with others, and old Mr. McKnight, were killed. Herrold ran for the fort. As he ran along a field which sloped towards the fort, the soldiers in the fort heard the report of a rifle, and saw him fall, ; and an Indian scalp him. Jacob Gift also tried to make his escape, but was overtaken. When the pursuing soldiers came up, they found evidence of a hard fight; the ground -was bloody, his rifle broken in pieces, and himself tomahawked and scalped. He had sold his life as dear as possible. Young McKnight was the only one who escaped. He jumped Warrior run, and a tomahawk struck the top rail of the fence just after he cleared it. He was the only one left to tell the tale. Upon Jacob Gift's father the stroke fell heavy. "

The McMath book lists John, Andrew and James as children of James d. 1779 and that James was killed by Indians. The Memorial for William McKnight erected 1916 does not give his parents names or dates for even Williams but say his parents were killed by Indians. So presumably William is a son of James d.1779 but the dates of their children make it more likely they were brothers. A newsaper account written much later says William was the one killed by Indians and that is clealy wrong as William lived another 20 years. William and James son James b. 1763 did live near each oher in 1790. Williams son James b. 1753 purchased land in Seneca not far form where James d. 1779 son James b. 1763 settled on Romulus. It seems very likely Williams and James were related but the exact relationship is not proven. .
The McMath book says Mrs. Mcknight was a large woman and indicates she was scalped but made to to the fort with Polly and a child dying. It also says Andrew was kidnapped by the Indians and was with them several months. It also says he was 14 when captured which would make the year 1775..
Founding members of the Presbyterian Church of Romulus 4 Apr 1802. James and Hannah McKnight, Hannah's sister Sarah Barr Carr, Henry Barr, and Andrew's wife Jane along with the McMaths. By 23 Nov 1804 admitted members: John Barr, Nancy Barr, Jenny Barr, Nancy Barr Jr, Polly Carr, Sarah Barr
Books say James or William or Robert apply for a warrent to obtain land 300 A landApr 13, 1769 in Northumberland area. Robert McNitt is the actual purchaser and has several other transactions in the 1770s. His location lists him as living in Philadelphia. There is nothing that indicates he is connected to the family but its possible.
The first deeds recorded in Northumberland are William Mcknight while a resident of Buffalo township buyingof three tracts land in 1774. They were “contiguous to and bounded on each other,” in Turbutt township, about four miles east of Milton, along the Limestone run. One tract was called “Trout Spring;” the second, “Limestone Quarry,” and the third, “McKnight’s Addition.” .321 acres, 100 acres, and 80 acres. He sold 321 acres in 1783
The McKnight and Barrs are Presbyterian. Trees that connect them to the other religious records are unlikely. They founded Presbyterian churches and it seems to run strongly in both families. 1790 subscribers: Chillisquague Presbyterian church: William McNight, Jas McNight, William Irland, David Irland, Warrior Run Church: Alla McMath, James Welsh, John Barr, Thomas Barr, Jas McKnight. Philip Vickers Fithian: journal, 1775-1776 Volume 2 contains information on his visit to Warrior Run 1776. The journal describes the area in a lot of detail.
1778 James McKnight ran for judge. William McKnight was chosen a member of the Committee of Safety and was an active patriot. His son James was a legislator.
James McKnight taxes in 1793 goes to David Hunter. David Hunter got land from James Espy and his wife Matha whose maiden name is McKnight. They married 14 Dec 1762 Derry Church, Carlisle, PA Rev John Roan officiating. Her mother was Mrs Joseph Wilson. Could Martha McKnight Espry be another child of James d. 1779 or was Martha married to a McKnight before becomes an Espry?

23 Jan 1807 Henry Bears files a formal complaint in their church against James McKnight for immoral conduct. Over time they hear witnesses (Andrew McNight is a witness) and eventually James admits guilt but appears unrepentant and is expelled until he repents. He planned to appeal at Geneva,but I found no further mention o the matter.
Hannah resides in Seneca 1810,1820 after her husbands death. She moves to MI with her sister Mary Barr Karr
Orange Torrey's family lived in Aurelius NY about 10 miles from Seneca until 1803 when the Torrey's move to Bethany Genesee NY which is one county over from Niagara. Orange Torrey and Nancy McKnight m. 1813 and they live in Niagara near her brother Robert McKnight in 1820.

Comments

His parents May have been Richard and Mary (Bushe) Sabin or Samuel and Elizabeth Sabin all of Tichfield England
He appeared to be a wealthy man of considerable culture. The claims that he was a Huguenot are not apparently true. He gave a lot of gifts to those who suffered the revenges of the Indians. He was a leading spirit in Rehoboth and active in schools and affairs in Plymouth. His son Nehemiah was killed by the Indians.
His wife might have been the widow of Richard Wright.

Thomas Troope m. Elizabeth Smyth

Comments

William's grandfather Thomas Throp was the Baliff and Coroner of Scrooby. Thomas, now spelling his name Throp, was buried in the Church at Scrooby, after making his Will, 23rd Feb 1523. He bequeathed that 3lbs of candles be burnt about his house on the day of his burial, and on the 7th day thereafter. Thomas left, in the now Thrope tradition, money to the poor, and his servants received the usual sheep (40) plus oxen and horses. From his Will we gather he had two sons, Thomas Jnr. Who was to inherit a sliver piece pawnchess, and a silver salt cellar. His other son, Sir George (which title refers to someone of respect within the Church, and who we later learned was the Vicar of Everton), received 2 oxen. Thomas’s son-in-law, John Norton, was bequeathed his fox furred gown. The dying man had had two wives, and gave his wife “a pair of beads, gauded with silver and a girdle gilted that was my first wife’s, for the term of her life, and after her death I give and bequeath the said beads and girdle to my said son Thomas according to the Will of my late wife, his mother”

He was present 1 Sep 1681at the first town meeting in Bristol RI
He m. Elizabeth Cooke 7 Feb 1665 in Sutton cum Lound, Nottinghamshire. He m. Mary Chapman 14 May 1666 in MA.
William Throope was a surveyor (1683), selectman (1689), grand juryman (1690), and a RI Assemble Representative (1691)
William Throope was used the name of Colonel Adrian Scroope a regicide. Why? He used both signatures, examples of which still survive. Perhaps if he was a bigamist and trying to deflect?
He was famous for having moved his family to Bristol using an ox.

Also in Shelby is Thomas Courser b. by 1775 who is probably his father. Is this the Thomas Corser b. 1773 NH with son Jasper B b. Genessee, NY and grandson Roswell Thomas all died in Hillsdale, MI? Thomas could even be Roswell's father but the dates are tight. I do believe the Ancestry tree links to the wrong Thomas in 1820 Genesee Co. census. It links to the one in Bethany which is too young and I think it should be the one in Shelby near Roswell as thr age fits. Other Coursers in other towns in Genesee Co. are Thomas b. 1775-1796, James b. 1775-1796, Lilas b. 1775-1796, and David b. by 1775. There are no entries in Genesee Co. in the 1830 census for any Coursers. A James does show up in Niagra Co. in 1830 and a Thomas and Matthew in 1840 in Niagra Co. In general the Coursers/Corsers seemed to have come from VT/NH.

Orange Torry, Orang Torrey was with Worthy L. Churchill's Regt 1813/1814 New York Vols War of 1812 & Churchill's Regt New York Militia War of 1812.. He served at least 20 Dec 1813 to 5 Jan 1814 for 17 days. The americans occupied the Canadian side of Niagara in the summer of 1813. They decided to abandon the town of Niagara (called Newark then) and Fort George and burned the town down as they left. December 18–19, 1813 the Brits made an unexpected night attack on Fort Niagara which was on the American side of the river. The American garrison at Fort Niagara was understaffed and the result was the relatively easy capture of Fort Niagara. The day after the British captured Fort Niagara, Orange started his militia tour. The militia were used to help evacuate the local people along the river. His usit was in the Battle of Black Rock - the last battle along the river during the war. Description of the Battle of Black Rock "Maj. Gen. Amos Hall was first alerted to the British presence when Riall’s advanced guard, the light infantry company of the 89th Regiment, drove off the American pique at Conjockety, present day Scajaquada Creek and captured the bridge and the battery there. The Americans assumed the British would not return and so did not secure this area. Hall sent the militia under Churchill (Orang'e group) to reconnoiter. When they ran off at the first enemy gun fire, Hall dispatched a second force under Maj. Adams and Lt. Col. Chapin, who also ran off at the first sight of the enemy. Hall now took personal command of the remainder of his troops, ordering a detachment under Lt. Col. Blakeslee to attack the British left flank and then Hall advanced toward Black Rock with the rest of his men." The Brits win the battle and burned the town of Buffalo. The Brits went on to burn the Whhite House in Washington D.C. again as retaliation for thr buring of Niagara by the Americans. There ensued a lot of burnings for a period of time. Both sides of the Niagara river remained uin the hands of the British until the end of the war.

Comment

Thomas, a fisherman in York, Maine purchased land in July 1684. He sold land in Dec 1685 in York. In 1698 he sold 11 acres in Burnt Plain, York, Maine. In Sept 1700 he acknowledged the deed in Ipswich. In 1705 Thomas "a mariner of Ipswich" and Elizabeth bought land in Glouchester. In 1715 he again acknowledged the 1685 deed, this time in Gloucester.

After 1723 according to church records he removed from the church in Gloucester to the church in Attleboro.
The will of Thomas Wise of Attleboro 10 June 1728 and probated 10 June 1728, lists wife Elizabeth, children John (who is deceased) who has 2 children, Joseph, daugeters Elizabeth Fuller abd Dorcus Follett, and son Benjamin who is executor. He gives land to Joseph.
Bristol Deeds:
- un 1723 Thomas bought land in Atteboto rwhile he resided in Gloucheter and it was recorded 1729 after his death.
- 1730 Joseph Wise of Glouchester sells land in Attleboro he states he got from is father Thomas Wise.
The circumstantial evidence that Thomas is the father of Joseph is that, they lived in the same area, the will of Thomas shows a son named Joseph. Tthere are no vital records in Gloucester or Battledore showing another Joseph, and Joseph is of an appropriate age to be a son of Thomas. Joseph is also still living in Glochester after his father's death when he sells land in Atteboreo he inherited from his father when his siblings have moved to Atteboro with their father. I have DNA matches to descendants of all the other children of Thomas. Of course those matches could connect through another part of my tree but the variety of the matches to descendants of Thomas support Joseph being the son of Thomas.
His brother John Wise on board a fishing sloop, Stephen Airs master, lost at sea on his return voyage from Cape Sable, Oct. 1716, a. 25 y.
Some trees have him coming from VA. Not true.
