INDEX

[44139] "King City Democrat [King City, MO], 1 November 1912," p. 8: "John Vermillion Andrews was born in Schenectaday, New York, May 17, 1818, died in King City, Mo., October 27, 1912. He had thus lived more than ninety-four years. On the 27th of February, 1843, he was united in marriage with Aurilla Saxton who was his faithful and loving companion for sixty-seven years. Eight children blessed their home, five of whom are yet living. The surviving children are, F. M. Andrews, St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. J. J. Nelson, Amhurst, Wisconsin, Mrs. E. E. Gordon, Carthage, Mo., Mrs. C. G. Seamans, Savannah, Mo., and Mrs. W. E. Agee, of King Citv, at whose home kind hands ministered to the father during his illness and did all for him that love could do. In the year 1867 he moved wifh his family to Andrew county, Missouri where he lived a respected and honored citizen until a few weeks ago, when he moved to King City. About forty years ago Brother Andrews obeyed tho gospel of Jesus Christ and united with the Christian church at Whitesville and for many years was an elder of that church. He was a faithful member of this congregation when the end came. He lived a quiet and useful life. He was cheerful, hopeful and contented, even when the infirmaties of age confined him to his room. Aside from the sadness of parting, shall we not be glad because the aged pilgrim has reached home? Death has no sting and the grave no fears for such as he. For we believe he could truly say, 'I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith, henceforth there, is laid up for me crown of righteousness.'"

INDEX

[292] John Hanson's account book lists her birthday as 10 June 1791 at Fox Island (now North Haven, Maine) and her death as August, 1813. "A Brief History of Vinalhaven," (centennial committee 1889), pg. 50 mentions a John Newbury moving to the North Island in 1768. He was originally from Massachusetts, fought in the War for Independence and was captured and escaped, lived on North Haven until his death at age 95 in 1832, was a farmer, fisherman and boat builder - he MAY be Elizabeth's father or g'father. Also check "The North Island: Early Times to Yesterday," Norwood Beveridge. James B. Vickery, 183 Harlow St. - Apt. 220, Bangor, ME 04401, stated 6 Oct 1994 "John Newbury was not a native of Newbury, Mass. ...I have used the vital records of Newbury - there is not a Newbury listed in birth, marriages or death. There are not accurate dates for his birth or death. In the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors he is listed as an inhabitant of Marshfield, Mass.; however, I could not locate him in the place in the published vital records. ...The records show he was born about 1743 and died in 1824 or another says 1832. He is listed in the 1790 census of Vinalhaven and buried in a cemetery in North Haven, Maine." Helen Peterson Conner stated that Elizabeth is (grand-)daughter of Ruth Newberry who came to Brooksville from Vinalhaven and was the first midwife in Penboscot. LDS Church's IGI file (film 452135, p. 0105) states Elizabeth was born in Penobscot. Cf. http://www.one-barton-family.us/genealogy/viva/d1749.html which cites "Brooksville Historical Society. Vital Statistics Copied from Town Records, Penobscot, Maine, 1787, date of incorporation, to 1875. North Brooksville, Maine: Brooksville Historical Society typescript, 1940, reprinted by Higginson Book Company, Salem, Massachusetts in 2002. Repository: Duane Barton" (and other sources) and states that Elizabeth Newbury "was born 20 Apr 1791 in Penobscot, Hancock Co.," and is daughter of John Newbury "born about 1765... He appeared on the census in 1790 in Vinalhaven, Hancock Co., Province of Maine, Massachusetts. He appeared on the census in 1810 in Vinalhaven, Hancock Co..... He died after 1810. He originated from Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts. He was married to Lucy Snowman on 8 Jan 1782 in York, York Co., Province of Maine, ... intentions published 7 Dec 1781. Lucy Snowman was born about 1763 in York, York Co., Province of Maine. She was baptized on 16 Nov 1763 in York, York Co., Province of Maine. She appeared on the census in 1850 in Penobscot, Hancock Co., Maine age 87, living with Ruth and Charles Perkins. She died after 1850."

Lawrence Waters and Anna Linton married in September, 1634/35 in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. They owned eight acres bounded on the south by the highway, on the north by Nathaniel Bowman, on the east by Edward Lamb, and on the west by John Ellet.

Lawrence Waters, Jr. was born in February 14, 1634/35. Sarah Waters Skeath was born on December 7, 1636. Mary Waters Davis was born on January 27, 1637/8.

In 1638, Lawrence or Ann or both were warned in Watertown for having danced.

The first inventory of Watertown taken about 1639, showed the Waters family had large land holdings. Their holdings included the original homestall, four acres of plowland in the further plain, four acres of meadow in the remote meadows, twenty five acres of upland, twelve acres of upland beyond the further plain, and a farm of 105 acres of upland.

The first child named, Rebecca Waters was born in 1639/40. She died as an infant in 1640. Daniel Waters was born on February 6, 1641/42. Stephen Waters was born on February 24, 1643. Rebecca Waters Whitcomb was born in February, 1643/44.

The second inventory of land in Watertown was taken in 1644. It showed the Waters family had same land holdings except the 105 acres, which was replaced by a one acre meadow in Patch Meddow, bounded with common land. The four acres of plow land was described as bounded on the east by Thomas Bartlett, on the west by Garret Church, on the north by the highway, and on the south by the river.

In spite of these large land holdings, they disposed of it all except the original homestall and relocated to Lancaster along with Anna’s parents, the Lintons. A group of colonists called the Nashaway Company who were interested in commercial production sent them ahead to prepare the plantation.

In Lancaster they were assigned seventeen acres on which they built a house which was about twenty rods above 'Sprague Bridge.’ It was the first house and lot number 18.

The plantation was isolated and growth was slow.

Adam Waters was born in 1645. Joseph Waters was born on April 29, 1647. Twins Rachel and Jacob Waters were born on January 1, 1649. Joseph died within the month and Rachel was the first attested death in Lancaster. She died on January 31, 1649.

In 1650 they had sold their original house in Lancaster to John and Elizabeth Hall. They moved a few rods to a 6 acre lot where they built another house. They owned nine acres of rich bottom land bounded on the north by Richard Linton's lot, 13½ acres of upland on the east side of Swan's Swamp, and 11 acres of rich bottom land lying on the east side of Penacook River.

Samuel Waters was born on November 14, 1651. Joanna Waters was born on January 26, 1653. She died as a baby on February 24, 1654.

In 1654 their estate was rated at 277 pounds and they drew lot number four of eleven acres in the second division of meadows.

Ephraim (Ephram) Waters was born on November 27, 1655. He died when he was three years old on April 17, 1659 in Lancaster.

On September 8, 1657 a committee of three ordered the Selectmen to lay out additional land for Lawrence Waters and they received additional land grants on February 5, 1659.

There was a garrison on the Waters property during King Philip’s War.

In 1659 her father gave them 15 acres in Lancaster.

On August 11, 1666 Lawrence and Anna gave their son Stephen one half of the second division land on Four Mile Brook between Wataquadock Hill and Long Hill, together with 4 acres of second division meadow and also fifty pounds of town rights.

After the massacre of August 22, 1675, Lawrence and Ann, and Samuel with his wife and two children, found shelter in Charlestown, where their son Stephen became responsible to the authorities for them because Lawrence was blind. Sarah and John Skeath were killed in the massacre of 1697.

Indigenous warriors attacked the town of Lancaster in February, 1676 and stormed the garrison where settlers had taken refuge. Mary Rowlandson, who was taken captive, described what happened in her famous narrative.

At length they came and beset our own house (which served as the garrison) and quickly it was the dolefullest day that ever mine eyes saw. The house stood upon the edge of a hill. Some of the Indians got behind the hill, others into the barn, and others behind anything that would shelter them, from all which places they shot against the house, so that the bullets seemed to fly like hail. Some in our house were fighting for their lives, others wallowing in their blood, the house on fire over our heads, and the bloody heathen ready to knock us on the head if we stirred out. Now might we hear mothers and children crying out for themselves and one another, "Lord what shall we do?"

Survivors of the attack took shelter in and near two fortified houses or garrisons, one of them on the land of Lawrence Waters.

Ann died in 1680 during the abandonment of the town and Lawrence died in 1687 after the re-settlement.

On May 28, 1684 Lawrence was taxed in Lancaster as an out of town resident 1.3.5 for the meeting house and 1.17.0 for the minister.

In 1697 Samuel's wife, Mary lost her parents, two sisters, and two children of her brother Nathaniel in an Indian raid.
