Note H10012 :
| Notes for *Dorothy Rand McVeigh: Known to her grandchildren as Nana Peck, she was not a very loving person, but commanded great presence. When she did see us as children, she would pat us on the head and give us each $1.00. She was always dressed up and I always got the impression that she thought that she was better than everyone else. My father always loved Walter Peck, my father's stepdad,and from all accounts the feeling was recipricated. My father told us the story of the day that he went to the cab barn where Walter worked, and overheard Walter telling his fellow cabdrivers about "my son Eddie". ( My father went by the name of Eddie Peck while in school in Cambridge). I never really liked her much, and neither did my father, who barely spoke to her while we were growing up and from about the early '70's, never spoke to her again. I recieved a phone call from brother Rick on December 18, 1997, telling me that she had died. Her obituary, taken from The Boston Globe, reads: "Clifford, Dorothy Rand Cambridge Formerly of Cambridge and Pepperell, November 24, Dorothy Rand (McVeigh) Clifford, wife of the late Walter B. Peck and the late Thomas C. Clifford, mother of Edwin A. Martinson, Jr. of No. Carolina, Barbara C. (Peck) Haley of Concord, Marjorie B. (Peck) Liebsch of Scottsdale, Arizona, formerly of Salem, Ma., and Walter C. Peck of Reading, also survived by 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. Graveside Service will be private. Arrangements by Joseph Dee & Son Funeral Service. Concord." (Tina had one son and two daughters who weren't accounted for here.) |

| Notes for *Edwin Albert Martinson, Sr.: Obituary: Edwin Martinson Edwin A. Martinson, 78, of 3 Carver Road, West Yarmouth, died Thursday, Sept. 2, 1982in Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis.He was a former superintennent of schools in the towns of Groton, Billerica and Marshfield. Born in Concord, he was a son of the late Christian and Karen (Anderson) Martinson.He was a graduate of Concord High School and a 1928 graduate of Tufts University, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta franternity.He received a master of Education degree from Tufts in 1933. After service as school superintendent in Groton during the 1930's and early 1940's, he became superintendent of schols in Billerica.In 1953 he was appointed superintendent at Marshfield and remained there until his retirement in 1964. The following year, the new Edwin A. Martinson Junior High School of Marshfield was opened and dedicated in his honor. There are many residents in Marshfield who worked closely with Edwin Martinson during his tenure as superintendent.Among them is John Nangle, Jr., of South River Street, who served on the School Committee at that time. "I felt," said Nangle early this week, "that he was a fine administrator, a gentleman.He had many good qualities and his thoughts were always with the schools.He was the type of person whose heart and soul were embedded in providing a rounded program, the best education you could give.During that time Marshfield was growing rapidly and he always seemed to be one step ahead of any major problem, managing to avoid double sessions, for example.I think of him as a very dedicated person." An educator of about 25 years experience, Frederick Hubbard, now principal of Governor Winslow School, said it was Edwin Martinson who gave him his first job in this school system in 1957, when the superintendent's office was behind the now closed Grace E. Ryder School.And John Sullivan, assisitant principal at Martinson School, said he was a student of the Ryder School when Mr. Martinson was superintendent.That was a time when the administrator was part of the every day school life."He was a soft spoken man, respected as the authority, a nice man." In his youth, Mr. Martinson worked as a guide at Concord historical sites, including the Old North Bridge, and at Richardson's Drug Store in Concord.He was a 50 year member of the Corinthian Lodge A.F. and A.M. Concord. His first wife, Vivian A. (Wight) died in 1966.He leaves Elizabeth (Sherman) Hatch Martinson of West Yarmouth and a son, David W. Martinson of Northborough and a daughter, Judith P. Ryan of Stowe, Vermont.He was a stepfather of Daniel Hatch, Marshfield; Anthony Hatch, San Francisco; Deborah Davis, Los Angeles; and Mary Henderson, Harwich. He also leaves 11 grandchildren; his sisters Cornielia Lawrence of Concord and Clara Murphy of Lexington; and his brothers Henry of Concord and John of Sebring, Fla.He was preceded in death by his brother Melvin of Leicester and ihs sisters Helen Thompson and Agnes Olsen of Concord. Arrangements were by McRae-Tunnicliffe, Concord.Services were private and burial was in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord.Memorial gifts may be made to the Cape and Islands Radiation Therapy Center, Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, MA.02601. David Martinson wrote: One of Edwin's gifts at retirement was a pair of boodends engraved: "Always sensitively aware of the teacher"from the Teacher's Association. Met Dorothy McVeigh when he worked at a funeral home, run by Carrie Grace Hawkins McVeigh, Dorothy's mother. |

Note H10016 :
| Notes for *Pascal Sweener: Pascal died of "senile gangrene - right foot, and legs part affected." From death entry in Stephentown records. The informant of his death was George Sweener, presumably his son, George W. Sweener. Pascal was 91 yrs. 4 mos. 18 days old when he died and was a widower. Sarah had died three years earlier. His was listed as a farmer. Uncle Pete says that Pascal ( or Pasqual as he called him) owned a saw mill on Black River Road. The sawmill could cut one log an hour. From Stephentown New York Heritage Center Living Gravestones collection: d. 26 May 1914, according to Horace Bateman's record book 1878 owned F89 1899 owned F84 Writer doesn't know where last two entries are, though they obviously refer to tracts of land. Notes from Anne Marie Sweener's files: French translation of Sweener is Chouinard. "Pascal came from Canada and settled in Hancock, Mass. He was a charcoal burner. Moved to Stephentown, N.Y. and settled on Black River Road until his death. Pascal owned an up and down waterpowered saw mill. It sawed one log an hour." Uncle Pete took Clint and Tina to the approximate site of the old saw mill on Black River Road in July 1997. It looks very peaceful there now, with no indication that such a place had ever existed. Up and down the road you can still see several stone walls. Uncle Pete told us they were left from when they had surrounded the properties of the families who had lived there many years ago. He said that every time you see one of those stone fences, you know that a family had lived behind those stones. A couple of the families he talked about as having lived on Black River Road besides the Sweeners were the Carrs and the Silvernails. The Carrs were probably the family of Sarah Parthenia, who married Pascal. On Pascal's death certificate, Paschal Chouinard is listed as father. No mother is listed. Pascal's birthplace is listed as Montreal, Canada. |
Note H10017 :
| Notes for *Sarah Parthenia Carr: Joined Stephentown Center Baptist Church Aug. 25, 1866. Died Jan. 1911 (re: church records). Her death certificate reads: She was 84 yrs. 11 months old at her death She died of apoplexy (cerebral) She died Jan. 10, 1911 at 5 p.m. She was married at the time of her death. She's buried in Garfield Cemetary, Garfield New York (Upon visiting the cemetary, no grave for Sarah is marked as such.) |
Note H10018 :
| Notes for *John Henry Moon: Very little is known of John H. Moon. He appears on census reports from 1860 to 1880, mostly in New York, but the 1870 census shows him and his family to be in Bennington, Vermont. We know that he died before 1891, because when his wife Almira died, Stephentown, N.Y. town records show that she was a widow. It is obvious that he was a farmer, as were his sons. There are no records of John H. in Petersburgh, Grafton, or Stephentown, though it appears from records of his son Charles that the family spent a great deal of time living in Stephentown. (There are no records to speak of in Petersburgh or Grafton for anyone. There was a fire some years ago in Petersburgh, which destroyed all birth, death and marriage records. There were a few cemetary records but that was all.(per Town Clerk, 1997). Grafton's record keeping left much to be desired in the time period that we were dealing with. There were scattered records, but none that pertained to our ancestors.) When Almira died (January 14, 1891), her youngest child that we know about, Edwin, was 11 or 12 years old. This means that in all likelihood, John Henry Moon died in 1889 and is buried in the Pittstown Corner Baptist Disciple Cemetary.Stone says Assigned VT. Regiment, Volunteer. A note found in the Stephentown Heritage Center file on the Moon family (there seems to have been two Moon families, since we have no clear connection between the two): Birth date was calculated by census reports. His age is very consistant on all of the census reports, and looking at the "age at last birthday" columns on all of the census reports, this Month and days window was developed. A child by the name of Alex appears on a census report with John Moon and Almira, but he never appears again with the family. |
Note H10019 :
| Notes for *Almira Seeley: From Stephentown, N.Y. town hall records: Almira Moon died on Jan. 14, 1891 in Stephentown at the age of 53 years. She was a housekeeper (presumably of her own home), she was widowed, and died of consumption. |
Note H10020 :
| Notes for John Moon: He lived in St. Johnsbury, Vermont and ran a butcher shop there. Uncle Russell Moon said that John used to peddle throughout the countryside, selling his wares. It is known, that after the death of Charles Moon, John's brother, in 1928, Charles' daughter Viola went to live with John Moon in Vermont. She lived there until her son, Francis was three years old. They left when Viola married Harry Russell. On a marriage record, for his first marriage to Hannah King,sent to me by Doris Moon in RHODE ISLAND, it lists John's middle initial as W.Doris and I both feel that this is an error, and that this man was probably John Henry Moon, Jr., named for his father. According to his death record, his name was John Henry Moon, with the birth date listed above.The various census records we have saysthat he was born about 1869.His death record shows he was son of Henry Moon and Almira Seeley.

| Notes for Caleb Carr III: General Caleb Carr was colonel of a regiment of state militia during the War of 1812, and in 1814, when the call came for every able bodied man to hasten to the defense of Plattsburgh, Col. Carr was foremost in action; but the progress of the troops was so slow, he asked permission of the commanding general to take 1500 men and hasten on the Plattsburgh with all possible dispatch.The permission was granted and he arrived there in time to help turn the tide of battle in our favor, while the balance of the troops did not arrive until the battle was all over.For this meritorious conduct on the part of Col. Carr, he was promoted to the generalship of all the state militia, which rank he held as long as he lived.He also was a member of the state legislature one term. He moved to Williamstown, New York in 1828, where he died Feb. 6, 1840. He was also an innkeeper in Stephentown Center. General Carr is listed as a member of Friendship Lodge #95 in Stephentown, NY in 1828, along with his brother, Joshua. The Masonic Friendship Lodge #95 was instituted Sept. 1, 1802. Between June 1827 and 1828, there were 25 members registered.The Masonic Order, founded on the Bible, complemented the Bible, teaching all church members to "live in peace and fellowship with their Masonick brethern."The Lodge was dissolved on March 13, 1837.(From Stephentown Historic Album #3) |

| Notes for *Caleb Carr: Caleb married Phillipa Greene, daughter of Deputy Governor John Greene of Warwick, R.I. Their first son, Robert died in infancy. After his death in 1690, his widow married Charles Dickinson. (from a letter written to Lela Carwardine by her brother Richard Whitney, dated November 16, 1942.) He died in 1690. His will was dated in Jamestown, Jan. 27, "1st of William K. of Gt. B.," and proved in Newport, March 30, 1690.He made mention of his wife Phillis Carr, sons Caleb, William, Robert and Job; and daughters Mary and Phillis; and also father in law Maj. John Greene, and brother in law, Peter Greene.His wife was executrix of the estate.She was born in Warwick, R.I., Oct. 7, 1658, and married Charles Dickinson for her second husband and had children by him. Caleb Carr inherited from his father the latter's land in Conanicut, now Jamestown. |
Note H10030 :

Note H10031 :
| According to Jayne Pratt Lovelace: "Ephraim evidently derived much enjoyment from 'putting people on' regarding his age and other particulars." |
Note H10032 :
| Notes for *Martha Wheelock: All information was researched at LDS. We feel that Ephraim Pratt must have had another wife, after Martha Wheelock, as her death date appears as 1720, and all of these children were born after that. Also, the marriage date is later than her death. We will check further on this. For now all of the children will be listed, because they are the children of Ephraim, if not Martha. Oct. 24, 1999 - in e-mail message from Jayne Pratt Lovelace, author of The Pratt Directory : "Unfortunately, there seems to be no record of Martha Wheelock Pratt's death, not as "wife of Ephraim: and not as a "Martha" in any published Mass. Vital Record.My guess is that she died about 1750, or shorlty before her husband moved to Shutesbury." According to Michael A. Hunter, Martha died about 1814 in Shutesbury, Mass. |

| Notes for *Robert (Sir Baronet) Carr: Robert Carr, age 21 in 1635 and younger brother Caleb, age 11, came to America on the ship "Elizabeth Ann". They lived with their uncle, William Carr, Jr., brother of their father Benjamin, who along with his wife, had died. Robert worked as a skilled tailor. Robert and brother Caleb both moved to Newport, Rhode Island, where Caleb became Town Commissioner from 1654 to 1662 and Treasurer General from 1661-1662, Deputy ot the Assembly from 1679 to 1690, Governor's Assistant from 1679 to 1691, Judge from 1687 to 1688 and was Governor of the Colony in 1695, when he accidently drowned. From the Carr Family Records, page 13-14 Robert Carr born in London, England, Oct. 4, 1614, came to America with his brother Caleb, on the ship Elizabeth Ann, commanded by Capt. Roger Cooper, which sailed from Londan May 9, 1635.From an old shipping record in London, we find the following:"Calebb Carr, aged 19, and Robert Carr, aged 21, described as a "tayler", sailed for New England, on the 9th of May, 1635, in the "Elizabeth Ann."These two brothers who were both minors, were sent America after the death of their parents, to live with their uncle William, who had previously settled in Bristol, R.I. A few years later the two brothers settled in Newport, R.I. Robert Carr was admitted as an inhabitant in Portsmouth, Feb. 21, 1639, and a freeman in Newport, March 16, 1641.He was one of the original purchasers of the island of Conanicut in Narragansett Bay, of the Indians, which contained about six thousand acres.He also acquired considerable property in Newport.His will was dated April 20, 1681, as he had determined on a voyage to New York and New Jersey.He died in 1681 and his will was proved, Oct. 4, 1681.The following is a copy of his last will and testament: "Being now in my perfect health and memory, and being bound on a voyage to New York and New Jersey, and aged sixty-seven, and not knowing how th Lord may deal with me in my intended voyage, and knowing certainly that I must once die, though uncertain when, yet being desirous to set my house in order, do make and appoint this to be my last will and testament."
