     Andrew Durand [Du135] 1820 NY Census for Schoharie Co:

"Durand, Andrew 2 _ _ _ 1 _, _ 2 _ _ 1, _ _ _ 1"

The last 1 means person involved in manufacturing. The other numbers mean 2M 0-9, 1M 26-44, 2F 10-15, 1F 45+. This doesn't work for SAMUEL's brother Andrew because his numbers should be 1M 0-9, 1M 26-44, 2F 0-9, 1F 26-44? (assuming his wife is alive and about the same age as he). Note, however, that if the census slots for the females are off by one (or I recorded them off by one) then the female count fits. If there is an unknown, or perhaps deceased, male child, then the male side fits too. This is a lot of fiddling for an Andrew that we don't even know to have been in Schoharie Co, but it seems reasonable that he might have been there considering that his brother SAMUEL was (and it seems that brother Philo M was too). See below.

The Beach manuscript, p 120, conveys virtually the same information as the Durand Family.

The final pointer is to Harriet Durand in the 1830 census, but she is widow of Philo M not Andrew, according to Durand Family. Andrew was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 4 April 1787. See father EBENEZER DURAND text for argument that Derby CT is the birthplace..⁴ Andrew was listed as the head of a family on the in 1810 Census at Cobleskill, Schoharie, New York, USA.⁵ Andrew was listed as the head of a family on the in 1820 Census at Schoharie, Schoharie, New York, USA.^6,7

     Philo Mills Durand [Du136] "Philo M. Durand was of Oxford, New Haven County, Connecticut"

The Beach manuscript information, p 121, is a subset of that in the Durand Family.

Helen Ullmann researches:

"I looked at Middletown, Torrington and Oxford deeds also. Found nothing for Ebenezer in the first two but at Oxford I found that Philo M. Durand of Oxford bought about 35 rods of land from Chauncey and Rosanna Prindle, in an area called Tooantic, with a dwelling house, on 13 Oct. 1813, and he mortgaged it back to the Prindles on 14 Oct. (6:42; 5:141). But there was no deed where Philo sold it. He acknowledged the deed at Middlebury, which might or might not mean anything."

Middlebury, CT is about 6 mi north of Oxford.

Partridge's Transcript of 1810 Federal Census of Schoharie Co., NY, 84:

"COB-057-02 DURIN Philo M 0 0 2 0 0, 0 0 1 0 0",
followed six items later by
"COB-057-08 DURIN Andrew 0 0 1 0 0, 1 0 1 0 0"
which is his brother. The code is: M<10 M10-16 M16-26 M26-45 M>45, similar for F. So for Philo in 1810, there are 2M16-26 and 1F16-26.

Philo does not appear in the 1820 Schoharie census (probably he is in Oxford?] but his wife Harriet is in the 1830 one, Partridge's Transcript of 1830 Federal Census of Schoharie Co., NY, 23:

"SCO-031-20 DURAND Harriet 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0, 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0"
which mean 1M 15-20, 1F10-15, 1F15-20, 1F30-40. This implies that Philo died before approx Jun 1830 when the census was taken. This agrees with Harvey Durand's SCW applications:

"That the said Treat Durand was the son of Philo Mills Durand born in Oxford, Ct. on 24 Feb. 1788, died in Schoharie, N.Y. on 12 June 1823, and Harriet Livingston his wife born in Cobleskill, N.Y. on 30 Sept. 1792, died in Schoharie, N.Y. on 8 Mch. 1875, ae. 81 yrs 5 mos 8 da."

She appears explicitly in the 1855 census, Davenport, Town of Richmond, dist. 2, Schoharie Co NY, 119:

"36.291B DURAND Harriet 64 ALBANY"

See text for grandson Harvey Durand. Philo was born at Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 24 February 1788. LDS evidence states c 1786, <, Schoharie, Ny>..^1,7,6 Philo was listed as the head of a family on the in 1810 Census at Cobleskill, Schoharie, New York, USA.⁴ He married Harriet Livingston at New York, USA, circa 1810. Dau b 10 Dec 1811.^8,9,10,11,12 He resided at Schoharie, New York, USA, on 4 July 1813. For birth of son Treat, for which he was presumably present. He bought property at Oxford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 13 October 1813.¹³ Philo died on 12 June 1823 at Schoharie, Schoharie, New York, USA, at age 35.⁶

     Harriet Livingston Philo Durand does not appear in the 1820 Schoharie census but his wife Harriet is in the 1830 one, Partridge's Transcript of 1830 Federal Census of Schoharie Co., NY, 23:

"SCO-031-20 DURAND Harriet 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0, 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0"
which mean 1M 15-20, 1F10-15, 1F15-20, 1F30-40.

She appears explicitly in the 1855 census, Davenport, Town of Richmond, dist. 2, Schoharie Co NY, 119:

"36.291B DURAND Harriet 64 ALBANY"

which implies b c 1791 Albany Co, NY [NB Schoharie Co was part of Albany Co at this time]. Harriet was born at Cobleskill, Schoharie, New York, USA, on 30 September 1790. Family Group Sheet gives "" but 1855 census gives age 64 b Albany Co NY (from which Schoharie Co was later formed). Harvey Durand's SCW applications give 30 Sep 1792, Cobleskill, NY. See death evidence for argument that the date should be 30 Sep 1790..^{3,4,5,6,7,2,8} She married Philo Mills Durand [Du136] at New York, USA, circa 1810. Dau b 10 Dec 1811.^3,9,5,6,7 Harriet was listed as the head of a family on the in 1830 Census at Schoharie, Schoharie, New York, USA.¹ A census listed Harriet as head of household at Richmond, Schoharie, New York, USA, in 1855.² Harriet died on 8 March 1875 at Schoharie, New York, USA, at age 84. Harvey Durand gives "died in Schoharie, N.Y. on 8 Mch 1875, ae. 81 yrs 5 mos 8 da." which implies she was b 30 Sep 1793 not 1792. Barber gives 84 yrs 5 mos 8da which implies 30 Sep 1790..^4,10,8 Her body was interred at Schoharie, New York, USA, at Lutheran Schoharie Cemetery.⁶

     William Livingston Durand Family: "of Livingston's Manor, Albany County, N. Y." [but I haven't yet seen the connection proved]

Barker's Schoharie CD, 197-201

"3749: WILLIAM LIVINGSTON - pr. [probably] born ca 1740 to 1755 (son of James & Catherine); died Delaware Co., N.Y. ca 1803 (estate admin.); m by 1773 ELIZABETH DYCKMAN (called ELISABETH DEICK on 1777 bp rec., ELIZABETH DYKMAN on 1780 bp rec.). This William apparently was on the 1790 census of Watervliet N.Y. (Horner notes) and subsequently moved to Schoharie and was on the 1800 Sharon, N.Y. census (10101-01010)."

Cady has, in Livingston section:

"William Livingston, son of - - married Elizabeth Dyckman ch. James, b. -- married Matilda Hathaway, 1788, Derrick, b. -- married Susan Edwards, "Richdmondvill", William, b. -- married Elizabeth Palmentier"

but he is known to be untrustworthy, so use this with caution.
William was born in 1738. LDS: ca 1750; Wetmore: 1738; Barker: "ca 1740 to 1755".^5,6,7 He married Elizabeth Dykeman (Dyckman, Deick) circa 1772.^1,8,2,9,10 William died on 24 December 1798.³

     Elizabeth was born on 22 October 1754. LDS: 22 Oct 1754; Wetmore: 1748 (1728?).^1,2 She married William Livingston circa 1772.^3,4,1,5,6 Elizabeth died in 1851.⁷

     David Durand [Du137] Durand Family, p 76:

"m. Mar. 13, 1812, Harriet Ball - New York City"

I think this means she is "of" NYC.

The Beach manuscript, p 121, conveys virtually the same information as the Durand Family. David was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 28 December 1790. See father EBENEZER DURAND text for argument that Derby CT is the birthplace..³ He married Harriet Ball on 13 March 1812.⁴ David died on 26 August 1832 at age 41.¹

     Harriet was born. She married David Durand [Du137] on 13 March 1812.¹

     Isaac Philander Durand [Du138] The Beach manuscript, p 122, carries the information in addition to that provided in Durand Family:

"I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ASCERTAIN ANY THING VERY DAFINITE [sic] AS TO ISAAC AND HIS FAMILY. BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WERE FOUR CHILDREN."

Wetmore Genealogy, p 509, gives his middle name as Philander. Isaac was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 26 June 1792. See father EBENEZER DURAND text for argument that Derby CT is the birthplace..¹

     Ebenezer Durand [Du140] The Beach manuscript, p 123, conveys virtually the same information as the Durand Family. Ebenezer was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 30 August 1797. See father EBENEZER DURAND text for argument that Derby CT is the birthplace..³

     William Durand [Du141] The Beach manuscript, p 123, conveys virtually the same information as the Durand Family. William was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 20 December 1800. See father EBENEZER DURAND text for argument that Derby CT is the birthplace..³

     Hiram Durand [Du142] Durand Family, p 77:

"m. Oct. 26, 1823, Lucy, dau. of Jessee Baldwin, Oxford, Conn. Lived New Haven, Connecticut. One child: a daughter."

The Beach manuscript, p 123, conveys virtually the same information, as a subset, as the Durand Family. Durand Family manages to copy the spelling mistake of Jessee Baldwin (for Jesse Baldwin) made in the manuscript. The manuscript does say "NO CHILDREN" which is not true; there was one daughter. Hiram was born on 14 September 1803.¹ He married Lucy Baldwin [JBa1001] on 26 October 1823.³ Hiram died on 14 February 1826 at age 22.¹

     Lucy Baldwin [JBa1001] Durand Family, p 77:

     ISAAC WHITEHEAD Hatfield's History of Elizabeth, pp 56-7:

He is established as an original Associate of Elizabethtown:

"The most reliable statement of the names of the original Associates is found in Elizabeth Town Book, B, [the original book was lost] some fifty years after the settlement of the town, and is thus expressed:

'Richard Nicolls, by virtue of the Power and Authority vested in him by .....James (then) Duke of York &c Did thereby Grant Bargain Sell and Confirm unto Capn John Baker (then) of New York, John Odgen (then of North-Hampton, and ..... John Baily and Luke Watson, and their Associates the Premises afores^d - In ffee-simple, which same Associates (together with them the s^d Baker, Ogden, Baily, and Watson (equally seised each to a Third Lot-Right in the pmisses) were, the said John Baker, John Ogden, Jn^o Baily, and Luke Watson, and with them ...... And, To each a second Lot-Right in the same Premisses, Isaac Whitehead...' "

He also took the following oath:

"The Oath of A Leagance and Fidelity taken by the Inhabitants of Elizabeth Town and the Jurisdiction thereof beginning the 19th February 1665.

You doe sware upon the Holy Evangelist contained in this book to have true faith and Alegiance to our Soveraing Lord King Charles the Second and his Successors and to be true and faithfull to the Lords propryetors their Successors and the Government of this Province of New Jarsey as long as you shall Continue an Inhabitant under the same without any Equivocation or Mentall Reservation whatsoever and so help you God.

Mr John Odgen sen^r
...
Isaack Whitehead
..."

The Ogden Family by W O Wheeler, p 47, item 5: "SARAH (Whitehead) OGDEN was dau. of Isaac Whitehead."

Isaac Whitehead is mentioned several times in The Ogden Family:

p 33: The last will and testament of JOHN OGDEN Sr (The Pilgrim) is "Sighned Sealed & Delivered in presence of us
Isaac Whitehead
The marke W of
Jaan Whitehead"

Jane Whitehead is probably Isaac's wife, or sister, or etc, but we have no other record of her in this book. We know from East Jersey Deeds that his wife's name was Mary, however.

p 35: The spelling of JANE (OGDEN) as Jaan is attributed to "probably being that of Isaac Whitehead"

p 41: "A Coppie of the towne record by me. Isak Whitehead." This is a document reporting that Governor Carteret's attempt to give land to a member of his household, Richard Mitchell, has been foiled by the town meeting.

p 49: "The General Assembly in Dec., 1683, passed a stringent military law, and an act for the appointment of a "Chief Ranger" in every county, to look after the "estrays of the flocks and herds." Thereupon, Benjamin Parkis was appointed Captain, George Ross, Lieutenant, and John Woodruff, 2d, Ensign of the Elizabethtown Fort Company. James Emmott was made Chief Rnager and Isaac Whitehead Coroner of Essex Co. In their commissions dated Dec. 3, 1683, they are all exceptin Emmott styled "Gent.""

Hatfield's History of Elizabeth, pp 99-101, in a list of short biographies of the Associates:

"ISSAC WHITEHEAD was of the New Haven Company of immigrants. He was the son of John, one of the founders of N. Haven. Isaac was a planter there, as early as 1643, and took the oath of fidelity Mar. 7, 1647/8. He resided on the E. side, next the sea, beyond the Cove River. He came hither [ie, to Elizabethtown] with a wife and 7 children. He was chosen the first Town Clerk, and served as such until his death. He was appointed, Mar. 22, 1679/80, Captain of the Military Company; also, Mar. 28, 1683, one of the Judges of Small Causes; also, in 1686; also, Dec. 3, 1683, Coroner of the County. He had a houselot, containing six acres, bounded by [Nathaniel Bonnell, son Isaac] .... He had, also, 18 acres of upland, bounded by [son Isaac, Benjamin Price Jr, Nathaniel Bonnell, his houselot] ..; also, 12 acres of upland, "at the W. side of the plain," bounded by [Robert Vauquellin, Samuel Hopkins, Joseph Meeker] ..; also, 20 acres of upland, on "the Long Neck," bounded by [Robert Bond, Benjamin Price Jr, Nicholas Carter, Henry Lyon] ..; also, 45 acres of upland, adjoining Benjamin Meeker and Henry Lyon; also, 55 acres of upland, "at the great oind," bounded by Rev. Jeremiah Peck, Henry Lyon, and "the Sinking Marsh;" also, 8 acres of meadow on Woodruff's creek; also, 10 acres of meadow on "Arthur Cull's bay;" also, 3 1/2 acres of meadow, on E. T. Creek : in all 177 1/2 acres. His decease occurred in Feb. 1690/1."

The WHITEHEAD-BROWN Family Group Sheet gives his death as 31 Jan 1690 in Elizabethtown and his burial as Feb 1690/1 (actually it says, mysteriously, "W.P. 26 1690/91 Feb")

6 of his children are listed at various places in Hatfield's history. 3 (possible) sons for example, are added to the list of Associates of Elizabethtown, p 244:

"In the yeare of our Lord one thousand Six Hundred and Ninty-Nine, At a Town-Meeting (in Elizabeth Town) of the s^d Associates and those Holding under them or Some of them were admitted as Associates with them in the affores^d Premisses, all those Persons whose Names are hereinafter next mentioned (viz.) ...Joseph Whitehead, Samuel Whitehead..., Nathaniel Whitehead ..."

The LDS Family Group Record evidence for this family lists 7 children but one of them, Mary, dies in infancy in New Haven. It does not list Nathaniel, but it does list Samuel and Joseph. If Nathaniel were also a son, then that would explain the count of 7 given in a quote above.

New Haven Families:

"WHITEHEAD. Fam. 2. ISAAC, rem. from NH to Elizabeth, N. J.
1. SUSANNA, b 5 Aug 1650 NHV; m 3 Jan 1665 NHV [1665/6] - Nathaniel Bunnell.

7. GRACE b 12 Nov 1663 NHV."

where NHV = New Haven Vital Records. [Fam1. 1 is the Samuel Whitehead family, which is not connected to ours so it seems]

New Haven Colony Records (Hoadly) contains several mentions from the early days of New Haven (founded in 1639):

"Att a Court Held att Newhaven the 4th of January, 1643.

Isaack Whitehead, Will Mecar, Thomas Powell... [17 other names] ... fined each 1^s for late coming to trayne. ...

Richard Newman... [5 other names] ..., Isaack Whitehead... [4 other names], fined each man 2^s for defect. guns. ...

Richard Newman and Will Potter & Isaack Whitehead fined 6 pence a peece for want of shott ..."

"A Court held the 7th of March, 1643

...

Math Crowder... [4 other names], Isaack Whitehead...[8 other names] ..., fined each man 6^d, for late comming to the meeting wth their armes Feb: 18, 1643."

In the list of men taking the oath of allegiance on March the 7th 1647 appears the name, "Isacke Whithead".

An extensive court entry for 1648, about a canoe:

"Henry Bishop declareth that he hired a cannow of James Russell for his ocasions, & Jn^o Moss and Isacke Whithead tooke it awaye & brought it not againe, but broke it, wherby he he was damnifyed. John Moss saith it is true they tooke the cannow away, but it was a mistake, for they had spake to Allen Ball for his cannow, and he told them that if Mr. Gilbert had done wth it they might have it; they inquired and Mr. Gilbert had done wth it, so as they was goeing vp the river wth the lighter, Isacke Whithead knowing wher Allens cannow laye, went to fetch it, and when he came to the place ther was two, and it being in the night, and darke, mistooke, & did take the wronge cannow; so when morning came they saw they had mistaken; the wind blew pretty fresh, & the cannow wth shering gott betwixt the banke and the lighter, & the lighter fell foule on it and brake it; so when they saw what was done they made inquirie whose it was, resoluing to paye for it, and hearing it was James Russells, spake with him and offered him satisfaction; he required that the cannow should be made as good as she was, and they did mend her, but after vnderstanding that Hen: Bishop had hired the cannow, they spake wth him and offered to paye for the cannow & allso fix what damadge he had suffered, but he would not accept it, but said he would haue it in y^e court, & yesterday, after he was warned to y^e court, Isacke & he tooke Thomas Meekes and went to Henry Bishop and offered him as much, but he demanded 3^d a weeke ever sinc y^e cannow was taken away, and that the cannow be pd for, and 10^s for takeing it away as a breach of order.

Thomas Meekes testifyeth that he heard Jn^o Moss and Isacke Whithead offer Henry Bishop to satisfye Mr. Russell for the cannow and give him 3^d a weeke for his damadge, and for y^e 10^s for breach of order, they see no ground for it. Thomas Meekes asked Henry Bishop why he would have it to the court, he said onely for the 10^s. Henry Bishop was told by the governer that ther is no ground that they should paye the 10^s, for it was against their wills they tooke it, the law of God requires no more in higher cases, even in case of blood, if the will be not in it he shall not dye. The sentenc of the court is that the defendants make good the cannow & paye just damadge to Henry Bishop, but that Henry Bishop beare the charge of the court himselfe."

Everywhere in this account where the word "wth" appears, the "t" should be superscripted.

And another court record in 1643 is about land:

"William Andrewes, Jn^o Cooppr, Richard Beckly, Nathaniel Merriman & Isacke Whithead desired that they might haue some land & meddowe to sett vp farmes one the east side, next the sea, beyond the Cove River. Mr. Crane and the farmers ther objected against it, whervpon the court appointed Leivtennant Seely, Henry Lendall & Francis Newman, as a comittee to view and consider wheither it would prejudice the farmes ther allreadie or no, & so to make report to the court, & if any of the farmers will goe to make ther objects they maye."

There is an item, dated 1648, that appears to relate to the above item. However, it is bound into the book in the 1643 section curiously:

It begins top left with "The names of y^e Tennants of oystershell field, beginning 1648. Mrch 10^th ..." [the "r" in "Mrch" being superscripted]. Then in the middle of the page is a list of names headed "M^ris Eldreds out lotts". Below this list is the following note:

"The Meddow and second divission to be devided equ[ally] betwixt Nathaniel Merriman, Mathias Hitchcocke and Isacke Whitehead if he accept it."

[NB, an early map of New Haven shows the "Oyster Shell Field" just east of the main town squares, across a small river from them and next to the bay - ie the sea.]

A court record of 1649:

"William Andrewes desired the court that they would put an issue to y^e matter concerning the land wch [superscript "c"] was viewed on behalfe of himselfe & John Cooppr, Sariant Beckly, Isacke Whithead & Nathanil Merriman on y^e Indian side beyond Sollitary Cove. Those that were appointed to view were desired to informe the court how they found things. Leivtenant Seely said he thought the towne might grant it them, & so said Henry Lendall & Francis Newman, so y^t the farmers meddowes might be secured from their cattell spoyling them. Mr. Crane, & Mr. Ling & Mr. Tuttill opposed it & said it would spoyle their farmes, yett if they might mave common in y^e necke wth [superscript "t"] them & haue ther medow secured, they were willing, but they wch [superscript "c"] propounded for it were not willing to take it vpon those termes. After much debate, the matter was left that they might speake privatly together aboute it, but the farmers were told that if they hinder the towne from disposing of the land for them to make vse of, the towne will expect the same rates from them that these offer to paye, that is, for all y^e medow and 50 or 60 ac^rs of vpland, or more if it be taken in for planting land."

From the Ancient Town Records, Dexter:

April-May 1650:
"William Andrewes propounded that he might haue that parte of M^ris Eldreds meddow & second devission of vpland, w^ch Isacke Whithead was to haue but now refuseth: the Court inclined to it, but left to y^e Committee before named to make a conclusion therin, concerning y^e rates & charges to be p^d to y^e towne for it"

"At a gen. court held at Newhaven Aprill first 1661
...

"At a Generall Court Held at Newhauen Octob: 31th 1662

"At a Court Held at Newhaven March. 6^th 1665/6

...

* Susanna, daughter of Isaac Whitehead, married Nathaniel Bunnell, January 3, 1666. [footnote added by the editor]"

[I do not know what the "[86]" above means.]

A bit further down in the same court proceedings:

"Ifaack Whitehead doth Alienate to Nathaniell Merriman all his part of Land given him by y^e towne, & houfing upon it.

Nathaniell Merriman doth Alienate to John Mofse halfe the forementioned Land and meadow, excepting y^e homeftead."

"At a Court held at Newhaven Decemb^r 1^rst 1668:

...

Ifaack Whitehead by a Bill of fale under his hand & feale beareing date Aprill. 16^th 1666, & witnefsed by James Bifhop Secret: & John Payne, doth fell & make over unto W^m Payne one dwelling houfe and barne y^t ftandeth upon a piece of Land bought of M^r John Davenport, with all y^e land, fences & all other rights & privilidges belonging thereunto, alfoe eight acres of upland, three of it being part of a lott formerly belonging to M^r Brewfter, in y^e quarter called M^r Rob^t Newmans quarter, & joyneing to a lott y^t belonged to M^r Pearce on y^e South, now in the pofsefsion of Samuell Blakely, & two lieing upon y^e hill beyond y^e weft bridge in y^e new field, the other three in the mill quarter, with fix acres of meadow, lieing in two parcells, on the Eaft fide of y^e mill River, Thomas Powells meadow on the South, Chriftopher Tods betwixt y^m, the mill RIver on y^e eaft & north, a little above the neck bridge. / as in the faid Bill of fale doth more fully appeare. --

[NB, John Davenport was one of the two original merchants establishing New Haven.]

Re Isaac's parentage: Hatfield says John was his father but we have the following counterevidence, from the New England Register, an article entitled "John Whitehead of New Haven and Branford, Conn." by James Shepard, Esq., of New Britain, Conn., April 1901, p 182:

"There was one Samuel Whitehead in New Haven when the first agreement was signed, Nov. 24, 1638, who remained in New Haven. There was also an Isaac Whitehead in New Haven in 1643, and a Sister Whitehead, when the meeting house was seated in 1646, but nothing is found to show any relationship between any of these Whiteheads and the Whitehead boys. The fact that they appear to have been utterly indiffernet, leaving said boys to the tender mercies of Francis Hall and the Court, indicates that there was no near relationship."

This is followed by a list of John's children, which does not include an Isaac.

Colateral evidence comes from Day Upon Day:

"With our son, Peter Hanson, in the spring of 1976, Richard [Hanson] and I [Margery Frances Day Hanson] visited the New Haven Colony Historical Society. We found in its library a wealth of information about the early families of the colony and were delighted that Richard's maternal Merriman ancestors (later among the founders of Wallingford) had land transactions with my paternal ancestors, the Whiteheads. ...

The records show that "Nathaniel Merriman, b. 1613, came on the 'Whale', 1632, to Boston, Mass. To New Haven, 1641. To Wallingford in 1670 and died there 13 Feb. 1693/4. Nathaniel Merriman (p. 12) a founder of Wallingford on March 8, 1666 bought of Isaac Whitehead 'all his part of land given by the town'. ..."

See also the synopsis of ISAAC WHITEHEAD in the text for Nathaniel Bonnell, taken from this same source, p 42.

East Jersey Deeds, p184:

"1690-1 Jan. 31, Will of Isaac Whitehead of Elizabeth Town. Wife Mary. Having disposed of his lands by deeds of gift he appoints sons Isaac and Joseph with Nathaniel Bunnell executors. Witnessess John Harriman, John Woodruffe. Proved February 26 following.

1691 Feb. 27. Letters testimonial on the preceding will issued to the executors named.

1689 Dec. 3. Deed. Isaac Whitehead senior to his son Joseph, for 7 acres betw. the road, Mr. Woodruff and Benj. Ogden; one half of the meadow on the Bay, adjoining Joseph meeker and Mr. Lyons; one half of the land on the road to Newark, adjoining Mr. Wilson."

This is the only place I have seen his wife explicitly named (see also below).

NJ Calendar of Wills, 1730-1750, p 567:

"1690-1, Jan. 31. Whitehead, Isaac, of Elizabeth Town; will of. Wife, Mary. Having disposed of his lands by deeds of gift he appoints sons Isaac and Jospeh with Nathaniel Bunnell executors. Witnesses - John Harriman, John Woodruffe. Proved February 26 following.

1691, Feb. 27. Letters issued to executors named.
E. J. D., Lib. D, pp. 271, 272"

Savage's Dictionary, 4:516:

WHITEHEAD ... "ISAAC, New Haven 1648, had Susanna, b. 5 Aug. 1650; Isaac, 20 Nov. 1652; Mary, 20 Nov. 1654; Sarah, 3 Jan. 1656; Samuel, 15 June 1658; Joseph, 29 Apr. 1661; and Grace, 12 Nov. 1663; rem. soon aft. 1666, perhaps to N. J. Susanna m. 3 Jan. 1667, Nathan Bunnill."

All dates in Savage are supposedly new style (ns).
ISAAC was born at Kent, England, in 1624.^2,10 He resided at New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 4 January 1643.⁴ He took an oath of allegiance at New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 7 March 1648.^2,4 He married MARY ?BROWN at Connecticut, USA, before 1650.^10,7 He took an oath of allegiance at Elizabethtown, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 19 February 1665.^2,9 He bought property at New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 16 April 1666.⁵ He bought property at Elizabethtown, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 3 December 1689.¹¹ He made a will at Elizabethtown, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 31 January 1691.^11,12,13 ISAAC died before 26 February 1691 at Elizabethtown, Essex, New Jersey, USA.^2,11 ISAAC's will was probated at Elizabethtown, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 26 February 1691.^11,7

     She married Richard Ogden 4th [Ogxxxviii] at England on 21 August 1639.¹

     He married Alice Dimery.¹

     She married Edward Knight.¹

     Richard was born. He Ogden Family, p 10:

"His sons Richard Ogden, and David Ogden, lived and died in Fairfield, Conn., and their descendants are living there now."

NJ Calendar of Wills, 1670-1730, p 345:

"1726 April 11. Ogden, Richard, of Fairfield in Cohansey, Salem Co., blacksmith; will of. Wife Elizabeth (sole executrix), daughter Elezabeth; legacy towards maintaining a Presbyterian Minister in the Town of Fairfield. Real and personal estate. Witnesses - Josiah Brooks, John Ogden, Edward Bourrows (Burrows). Proved May 26, 1726. Lib. 2, p. 327

1726 May 2. Inventory of the personal estate, L139.2, incl. L36.17 in outstanding debts; made by John Ogden and Edward Bourrows."

I take this to mean that his will was recorded in Cohansey NJ, home of his youngest son John, although he lived and died in Fairfield CT. He married Elizabeth (?).¹ He made a will at Cohansey, Salem, New Jersey, USA, on 11 April 1726.¹ Richard died before 2 May 1726 at Fairfield, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA.^2,1 Richard's will was probated at Salem, New Jersey, USA, on 26 May 1726.¹

     David died at Fairfield, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA.¹ David was born.

     John Ogden [Ogxxxviiic] "John Ogden, the youngest son, removed to Cohansey, N.J., where he died Dec. 22, 1745, aged 75 years. His descendants are numerous, among them Herbert P. Gerald, of Washington, D.C., who is said to be writing a history of the Fairfield Ogdens." (Wheeler). John was born circa 1670.² John died on 22 December 1745 at Cohansey, Salem, New Jersey, USA.¹

     Hannah was born. She married Sgt Samuel Ward.¹

     Thankful was born. She married Daniel Silliman.¹

     Elizabeth was born. She married Daniel Meeker.¹
