Among others sailing out of London on the Christian in March (no year
stated) and arriving in Boston in June (no year stated, but probably
before 1640) were Henry STILES 40 of Millbrook, County Bedford bound
for Windsor, CT; Francis STILES 35 of Millbrook, Bedford bound for
Windsor; Mrs. Rachel STILES 28; John STILES 33 of Millbrook, Bedford
bound for Windsor; Mrs. Joan STILES 35; Henry STILES 3; John STILES
3/4. [Source: Planters of the Commonwealth, Banks) Sir Richard
Saltonstall, an English nobleman, had a grant of land in the Windsor,
CT area and engaged the Stiles party to establish and maintain a
settlement there. However, there were a number of groups competing for
the same territory and the Saltonstall activity dispersed to more
favorable locations. My immigrant ancestor Thomas Cooper, a member of
the party, moved to Springfield. On a more recent note, Ephraim Stiles,
a gg-grandson of John Stiles, of Westfield, was one of the eight men
who, in 1764, founded the First Church of Christ, Congregational, in
Pittsfield. [Source: Records of First Church]

99013 MORRIS
Eleazer MORRIS b circa 1762 probably in Gt. Barrington, Berkshire Co. I
believe he is the Eleazer who was soldier in Rev. War fighting in 1777,
from Berkshire Co. I believe his father was John MORRIS b 1745 in New
Haven CT, who moved to Mass in 1758, living in Gt. Barrington in 1762.
In census of 1790, there is a John listed with an Eleazer in household.
This John also had a brother named Eleazer, born 1749, in New Haven. I
am trying to find out if the Rev. War soldier was John's son, Eleazer,
or his brother,Eleazer. Also would like to contact researchers of the
CT, MA, MORRIS family.

BURGESS from Lanesborough, MA. He was proscibed as a traitor and

was confiscated. He was a Captain of a militia company of Loyalist
refugees who arrived in New Brunswick in 1783.....His wife Phoebe died

the British military in 1783. He moved to Kings City, New Brunswick,
Canada and later Murray Township, Ontario, Canada. He married SYLVIA

daughter of Job GIBBS and Sylvia HUNTER. She was born November 17, 1759
in Sharon Township, Litchfield Co., CT and died after 1799 in Murray
Township, Ontario, Canada. Ichabod Squires is listed on the muster
roles of the Prince of Wales American Volunteers. He was a corporal in
August 1777 muster role for Captain Andrew Maxwell's Grenadier Company.
He was taken prisoner in January 1778. His name was added to a list on
a land petition initiated by Captain James Dickinson. His presumed
brothers, Zalmon, Eliakim, and Peter are also on this list Ichabod
Squiers was later a Sergeant in Colonel Brown's Provincial Regiment of
Associated Loyalists according to his second land petition of 1797.

STEVENS-CALLENDER-WILLIAMS-SMITH-LOMMIS-MARSH
Zebulon Stevens b 1740 d 9 June 1776 in
Sheffield, Berkshire Co. of
small pox and was buried beside the West Road between Shef-
field and Great Barrington. Refer to "A Lonely Grave" in the Berkshire
Hills magazine (October 1, 1901). The September 1776 Tax list reveals a
widow Rhode(a) STEVENS in Sheffield, whom I presume is Zebulon's wife.
He had done some land buying and selling in the first half of the
1770s. Unfortunately that is all I know about him. I would like to know
where he was born, when he married Rhode, and his other children. Their
son Thomas married Rhoda CALLENDER about 1790. Zebulon and Rhode were
probably married abt 1765 in Litchfield County, Kent?? or Dover,
Dutchess Co., NY. Rhode's maiden name could be SMITH, LOMMIS or MARSH.

were married in Plainfield, CT 20 June 1728 and left for Dutchess Co.
along with Henry, Samuel, William and Ebenezer STEVENS in 1732.

Zebulon STEVENS who enlisted in Capt. John STEVENS Company on 24
January 1776 was taken prisoner at the Cedars 18 May 1776 along with a
Phineas and Benjamin STEVENS. My query is - are these Zebulons the same
man or two Zeb's?? I have strong reason to believe they are two
individuals, as I have identified Zebulon, Benjamin and Phineas as not
in my direct lineage but in a parallel line from Plainfield. The
Zebulon mustered out of Watson's Company could well be the Zebulon who
died in 1776 of small pox. The Corporal Zebulon lived on into the
1800's

Massachusetts Historical Commission
wish
to contact members of the Thomas ALLEN family. Thomas ALLEN (1832-1916)
was the grandson of the famous Rev. Thomas Allen (named the "Fighting
Parson" for his work during the Revolutionary War). Rev. ALLEN was born
in Northampton and became the parson of the First Congregational Church
in Pitts-
field in 1764.
The grandson, Thomas Allen became a director of the Union-
Pacific Railroad and moved to St. Louis, MO. He owned a granite quarry
there. He was also a state senator in Missouri.
The Historical Commission is in the planning stages of restoring his
Queen Anne mansion on East Street in Pittsfield, which was built in
1885.

ing the inscription "Major Samuel Arnold, departed March 11, 1802 in
the 41st year of his life." I'm suspicious that West Stock-
bridge may not have been the original location of the stone. Where did
this Samuel ARNOLD's family come from - possibly Con-
necticut? Elsewhere in New York?

04007 GOULD-JOHNSON-WILBUR-HERENDON
Patience WILBUR m Samuel GOULD, s of Eli
GOULD and Bernice JOHN-
SON 9 June 1841 (Pownal, VT rec.). An article in Berkshire Hills
Magazine states that Samuel GOULD is the brother-in-law of Deacon
Jeremiah WILBUR and Jeremiah's father was Selectman James WILBUR. Thus
Jeremiah and Patience would be siblings and James their father. Others
indicate her parents were Jeremiah WILBUR and Patience HERENDON. I
would like to hear from anyone who has proof of her parentage. Also
need b & d of Patience.

04008 NICHOLS
Seek parents and bp of Tyrus NICHOLS
(1801-1854). Parents resid-
ed in Tyringham 1802-10. Tyrus shows up in the 1830 census for Rose,
Wayne Co., NY, ae 20-29, m with 1 child under 5. He is shown living
next door to David B. NICHOLS, also ae 20-29, prob brother to Tyrus and
David. If so, probably his name was Ezra, born prior to 1810. The elder
Ezra may have had a brother John W., born in 1780 in CT. The 1810
census for Sheffield shows the elder Ezra NICHOLS with 4 young sons,
living next door to John W. I need more info on my GGGF Ezra. Tyrus and
his wife settled in Unadilla, NY by 1840, where they raised a family
and are buried in St. Matthew's Cemetery. My GGGF and his family also
spent the majority of their adult life in Unadilla and raised 5 sons
be-
tween 1834-50, named Ezra Wilkinson, David, Edmund, Henry and George E.
NICHOLS. Any information will be most appreciated

05002 GRIFFIN-BAKER
George GRIFFIN was listed on the 1790
census of Lee, MA. The listing
included a male and a female 16-45 years of age. In "The Vital Records
of Western Massachusetts CD" when his name is entered it is posted to a
BAKER household under "The Lanesboro, Massachusetts Methodist Church
Records." An article in the now defunct "Downeast Ancestry Magazine"
titled "From Whence They Came" states that George GRIFFIN came to
Northport, Waldo County, ME from the Lee/Lenox, MA area in 1800. About
1812 he removed to Searsmont, Waldo County, and both eventually died
there ca 1850. A son Jacob GRIFFIN was interviewed many years later at
90 years of age by an associate of a Belfast, ME newspaper and added
that his father was a revolutionary soldier and passed away "at a good
old age." Would like to communicate with any individuals having more
information on this family.
