"Humphrey Chadbourne, baptized Tamworth, Warwickshire, England 23 Apr 1615; died Kittery, York Co, ME 1667 (will dated 25 May 1667, recorded 15 Oct 1667, inventory returned 12 Sep 1667 (MW, 45-53; YD 2:27-31); married about 1652 Lucy Treworgye, born circa 1632, came to this country circa 1646 (LND), died Newcastle NH between 1704 and Apr 13 1708 (LND, 133-134), daughter of James and Catherine (Shapleigh) Treworgye and niece of Humphrey's good friend, Major Nicholas Shapleigh. Lucy married second after 1 Apr 1669 (YD 4:fol 51) and probably by 13 Apr 1671, when Wills received land "for the use of Thomas Chick's family" (Berwick TR, 74) Thomas Wills. They were surely married by 12 May 1674 when Lucy's niece Elizabeth (Spencer) Chick was in court for abusing her "Aunt Wells" (vide post). Lucy married third after 14 Mar 1687/8 (date of Thomas Wills' inventory attested to by widow Lucy, LND, 134) Elias Stileman of the Isle of Shoals (LND, 661-2). The will of Elias Stileman, written 18 Dec 1695, named Lucy and her children (LND, 662). Elias died 19 Dec 1695 (Journal of Reverend John Pike, NHHS Coll III: 47). Lucy was listed on the Great Island (Newcastle) tax lists of 1699. She left an extensive will probated in NH as Lucy Stileman.
"Humphrey may have arrived in New England with his father in 1634, although some reports credit his arrival earlier. Several books and articles have called Humphrey the builder, 'chiefest of the artificers,' of the Great House at Strawbery Banke in 1631. If this were so, he would have had to have come with his brother-in-law Thomas Spencer in 1630 or have been the 'factor' who came on the Warwick in 1631. If he was baptized in the year of his birth, he would have been only 16 in 1631. In 1989 George Sanborn, as The CFA Reunion main speaker, stated that we have no documentation as to when Humphrey arrived. The first record we have found indicating his presence in America is the 1640 list of Residents of NH (NHPP, Vol 1), and in the same year he was named among the Kittery men who did not attend the court held at Saco (LND, 32), apparently required of all settlers in the region each year.
"In 1643, Humphrey received a deed from the Indian Sagamore Roles of half a mile of ground between the Little River and the Great River in Newichawannock (S Berwick), except Quamphegan (YD I:6). Three years later, Humphrey got a release from the same Sagamore of the rights to the fishing weir at Little John's Falls in Newichawannock (ibid). On 18 May 1645 Humphrey and Robert Nanney purchased a dwelling house in Dover from Christopher Lawson of Boston, that had been in the possession of William Belew. The land included an acre around the house and twenty acres of upland formerly granted by the town of Dover to Belew (Suffolk Deed I:68). No evidence has been found that Humphrey lived there. In 1650 he was elected town clerk in Kittery and served in this capacity many times thereafter. In 1651/2 he built his house near Great Works and that year served as a selectman. In 1663, Humphrey bought 150 acres of land at Sturgeon Creek from Nicholas Shapleigh, Lucy's uncle (Humphrey's will). The Sturgeon Creek property is shown on the 1701 'Plott of Mr Humphrey Chadburns Farm at Sturgeon Creek,' surveyed for the town of Kittery for tax purposes, available through The CFA.
"Notations by Charles Thornton Libby in his personal copy of Stackpole's Old Kittery and Her Families, held at MHS, show testimony (from MA Supreme Judicial Court Docket #138094, between 1780-1798) by Elder Humphrey stating references by William and Humphrey regarding a log house of Humphrey:
"'I Humphry Chadbourn of Francisborough in the County of York Esqr testify & say that about sixty years agone that I have heard my Father & Uncle Humphry Chadbourn often speaking of their Grand father's Logg house or Loging house & that said house stood about half a mile Southerly of Quampeging Landing in Berwick near Little River now called great works river and further saith not.' George Dod discharged Humphrey Chadbourne of his share of 'The third part' of victualling and wages of Dod's man in the French voyage, apparently a shipping/trading venture in which Dod, Chadbourne and Henry Parkes were partners together until Dod bought out Chadbourne (YD I:24 30 Apr 1651).
"In Nov 1652 Humphrey was fourth among the men signing the Kittery Act of Submission, by which Kittery agreed to be governed by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The signers may have thought this would strengthen their land claims in the face of claims by heirs of Capt John Mason. Capt Mason and Fernando Gorges had been granted by King James I 10 Aug 1622 all the land between the Merrimac and Kennebec Rivers. This was further divided in 1629, with Mason receiving all the land between the Merrimac and the Piscataqua. On 3 Nov 1631 Mason and Gorges made a grant to the Council of Plymouth, encompassing both sides of Piscataqua harbor and river. After his death in 1635, his heirs or agents apparently did not continue to fulfill Mason's part of the contract with the colonists; so by 1643 Humphrey 2 Chadbourne initiated the secure title to S Berwick land with his deed from Mr Rowles, the Indian. In Nov 1652 this was further strengthened by the Kittery Act of Submission. Richard Leader was noticeably absent from the signers of this document. Humphrey Chadbourne was among the signers of a petition against Richard Leader in Dec 1652, accusing him of the desire of purpose to get the upper hand in government over them (LND, 32/233, 421; Stackpole, 11-5).
"By occupation, Humphrey was a miller, but he held several significant public offices as well, including serving as town clerk in 1650 and 'often thereafter' (LND, 133). He was appointed a deputy to the General Court in 1657 and acted as commissioner to end small causes for several years. He was returned as deputy in 1659-60. He signed the petition against the claims of the Gorges heirs in 1662 and was an associate judge in 1662-3. In 'The Tory Lover', Sarah Orne Jewett called him 'the law-giver of Kittery.'"

INDEX

[16937] Norman had a twin sister, Norma Alice Foster (b. 17 Jan 1934, d. 20 Jan 1934) Norman m. 21 April 1954 Barbara Nelson (b. 24 May 1934) and had Terrance Foster (24 Aug 1955) and Anne Marie Foster (2 May 1960). "Bangor Daily News [Bangor, ME], 1 February 2020": "Brewer - Norman A. Foster, 86, husband of the late Barbara A. (Nelson) Foster, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2020. He was born January 17, 1934, in Brewer, son of Ralph M. and Mattie L. (Frost) Foster. Norm graduated from Brewer High School in 1952. In 1954, he married Barbara, his high school sweetheart. They celebrated 62 years of marriage before her passing in 2016. The two first resided in Key West, FL, where Norm was stationed with the United States Navy as an Electrician. When his tour ended, they returned home to the Brewer area and welcomed their two children, Terrance and Ann. Norm had a gift for focusing on the bright side of life, and he was known for flashing his characteristic thumbs-up sign for anyone who needed it. He loved to chat and was always ready to lend an ear. Quite the handyman, Norm was always puttering. He took pride in caring for his home and his family. He delighted in following the milestones of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who he loved dearly. Norm was a dedicated technician and Union Member of the IBEW Local 2327 for New England Telephone and retired after 40 years of service. After retirement, he worked part-time for US Customs. In that role, his warm smile greeted many travelers visiting the state that he loved. Norm had his private pilot license, and he enjoyed many hours flying around the countryside and occasionally touching down on the surrounding lakes. In their later years, Norm and Barbara enjoyed day trips to the coast or wherever the car would take them. Norman is survived by his two children: his son, Terrance Foster, and wife, Katie, of North Carolina, and his daughter, Ann Szylvian, and husband, Frank, of Brewer. He is also survived by two sisters: Marlene Howard of Florida and Barbara Scott of New Hampshire. Norm was an adoring 'Gramps' to his four adult grandchildren: Matthew, Chadwick, Sally, and Pearl. He was also blessed with six great-grandchildren: Joseph, James, William, Ezra, Everett, and Asa. Norman was predeceased by his beloved wife, Barbara, his parents, and eleven of his siblings: Thelma, Flora, Dorothy, Lillian, Maxine, Isabelle, Arno, Eleanor, Ralph, Mary, and his twin, Norma."

[46763] "Mount Carmel Item [Mount Carmel, PA], 12 April 1935", p. 1: "One of the oldest and best known figures in Mount Carmel's business life was missing today as a result of the death of Simon H. Geist, pioneer grocer and long an active churchman. Taken suddenly ill late yesterday while on his farm at Pitman, he expired within a few minutes before medical aid could be summoned. The end, brought on by a stroke, came at 5:45 p. m. Although not in the best of health for a year, Mr. Geist had been about as usual and for the past week, he had been at the farm from which he derived much enjoyment, Word of his death occurring so unexpectedly, shocked not only members of the family but the community as a whole. Had he lived until April 25, the prominent merchant would have observed his seventy-first birthday. . . . Simon Hepler Geist, born in 1864, was a native of the Mahantongo Valley, a son of Andrew and Abby (Hepler) Geist. As a boy, he assisted in farming but upon becoming 20 years of age, he decided to enter business and left the picturesque countryside of his birth to open a grocery story in Girardville. Mr. Geist stayed in Girardville only for a year and then came directly to Mount Carmel. That was 50 years ago. Here, he immediately resumed his venture in business. His first store was located on the northeastern corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets. Later, he moved to a stand on south Hickory street between Third and Fourth streets, then to west Third street between Vine and Poplar streets and from there to the present store on north Oak street near Second where the business has been maintained for the last 25 years. As a churchman, Mr. Geist served as a trustee of St. Paul Evangelical Church at Avenue and Hickory street for a quarter century. For years, he also acted as a member of the Board of Trustees in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of the Evangelical Church and held the important post until just the past year when he retired on account of his health. Besides, Mr. Geist was the annual delegate of the St. Paul congregation to conference sessions until only two years ago. Fraternally, he was a member of Cedar Lodge No. 670, F. and A. M., and the Order of Independent Americans. The loss of the highly-esteemed merchant and churchman by death is considered an immeasurable one by score upon score of residents who numbered him as a staunch friend during his long and honorable association with them. Just as his various activities in life show, Mr. Geist was uprignt and conscientious in everything he ever undertook and his place in the church and in business circles will be difficult to fill. Survivors Include three sons, J. Warren Geist of this city, Harry H., professor of chemistry at Pennsylvania State College, A. Frank of Rochester, N. J., one daughter, Anna, now Mrs. Fred Auch of Harrisburg, and a sister. Miss Delia Geist, of Trevorton, a school teacher. It was only less than two years ago that Mr. Geist's wife, Mrs. Emma (Kehler) Geist, died here. Her death occurred in June of 1933."
