General Notes: Husband - Arthur Bragdon
I exchange data with people who have a interlocking marriage
into any surnames that interlocks into any of the branches
of my families.I started when I was 10 years old now 68years.
I am sharing my data in the interest of collaborative research.
I do this to help people to find there lineages and to fill
the pedigree charts.
I have not personally researched all families listed; dates
and information are subject to verification. Not responsible
for typographical errors misplaced citations. Missing
sources/references are because of my learning curve,not my
intention. You are encouraged to seek further documention
for your own confirmation.Further I have no control what
other people include about their families in any of the
data that they exchange.
If there are no dates about the living, then the computers
can not determine if the person is alive or deceased.
The sites set the living anywhere from 75 to 100 years
depending on the laws of the countries that they are in.
When I exchange with lineages the living are sometime shown
depending on who you are exchanging with, but my
request is that,if you update any of my data to the
internet, you also set the do not show the living,before
you update to the internet.
Also place in the source your contact email
address,and the lineage, so people can contact you
reqarding your update.
I have no claim to owning the data, except that which is
my immediate lineage, and even that is worked on by many
members of my family lineages. It is only as good as what
people put into it,that exchange with me. So look
in the notes of the genealogy for origin, if they put it
there,or the source.
If you are going to correct,update or put new branches on the
lineage your are inquirying about,please do not add from what
I have sent you,(This just duplicates how many more people
I have to find in the duplicates and merge them,edit your
notes to ensure that there is nothing there that you do not
want published.
Also do not submit information on copyrights that invades the
privacy of others especially for a relative that has not given
you permission to publish same.
Remember nothing is carved in stone except time.
The best way for me to describe the relationship, is for
example if you have 6,000 people in your data base
that are connected via interlocking marriages, and
you find that you have a marriage that is interlocked into
one of my people in my data base, then they are related
via interlocking marriages, does not matter how distant.
The difference here is that the interlocking into my data
base would link to over 631,749 people via interlocking
marriages.
My hobby is working on interlocking marriages,to any
family surname that is in my data,and I exchange with
people to find them,and to assist them in finding lineage
that link into their families.

can not determine if the person is alive or deceased.
The sites set the living anywhere from 75 to 100 years
depending on the laws of the countries that they are in.
When I exchange with lineages the living are sometime shown
depending on who you are exchanging with, but my
request is that,if you update any of my data to the
internet, you also set the do not show the living,before
you update to the internet.
Also place in the source your contact email
address,and the lineage, so people can contact you
reqarding your update.
I have no claim to owning the data, except that which is
my immediate lineage, and even that is worked on by many
members of my family lineages. It is only as good as what
people put into it,that exchange with me. So look
in the notes of the genealogy for origin, if they put it
there,or the source.
If you are going to correct,update or put new branches on the
lineage your are inquirying about,please do not add from what
I have sent you,(This just duplicates how many more people
I have to find in the duplicates and merge them,edit your
notes to ensure that there is nothing there that you do not
want published.
Also do not submit information on copyrights that invades the
privacy of others especially for a relative that has not given
you permission to publish same.
Remember nothing is carved in stone except time.
The best way for me to describe the relationship, is for
example if you have 6,000 people in your data base
that are connected via interlocking marriages, and
you find that you have a marriage that is interlocked into
one of my people in my data base, then they are related
via interlocking marriages, does not matter how distant.
The difference here is that the interlocking into my data
base would link to over 631,749 people via interlocking
marriages.
My hobby is working on interlocking marriages,to any
family surname that is in my data,and I exchange with
people to find them,and to assist them in finding lineage
that link into their families.

General Notes: Husband - Rev. Maurice P. Witham
He made his first trip to Ohio on horseback between 1795 1nd 1797. He purchased a one thousand acre tract of land from George and Julius Blackburn. The land was part of a four thousand acre Virginia Military Warrant, No. 2311, granted to Captain Churchill Jones who had served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. By an Act of Congress, August 10, 1790, the young United States Government, financially unable to pay the soldiers for their service during the War, granted them the privilege of obtaining "titles to the lands lying Northwest of the River Ohio, between the Little Miami and Sciota" in the Northwest Territory. This served the dual purpose of renumeration for the soldiers and hopefully would help settle the wilderness of the West. Morris Witham's ded was dated November 28, 1803 and signed by President Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State James Madison, and Secretary of War Henry Dearborn. It was recorded in the Department of State's patent of lands "granted to the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment" by Christopher Thoms, Clerk. The original patent is in the possession of Helen Witham and her daughter, Kay, at present. Copy of deed in possession of James Bennett.
Morris and his wife and their eight children and their families left their home in Saco Valley, Maine, along with other families from the area and migrated to Ohio. Their settlement was originally known as Witham's Settlement. Morris subdivided his property, selling some land to his chilren and their spouces for their own farms. Morris, a Regular Baptist minister as well as a farmer, along with William Robb,helped to found the Baptist church in the community.
In 1807 Morris set out for Chillicothe, Ohio to purchase more land but never returned. There is no information on the manner of his death. There is no record of his disappearance in the Chillicothe newspapers of the early 1800's.
Emigrating to the Ohio Country
1798-1800
G. T. Ridlon, Sr.
From The New England Magazine, New Series, Vol. 21, Issue 6,
published by the New England Magazine Co., Feb. 1900, Boston.
(P. 695) Elder Maurice Witham, said to have been a native or
transient resident of Standish, Cumberland county, Maine, and
sometime chaplain to Congress, was the promoter of a great
uprising in the Saco valley in the years 1798 and 1800, and
became the Moses of the Hard-shell Baptists of that period, who
led the once contented and prosperous inhabitants from their
peaceful homes through the wilderness to the Promised Land
known at the time as the "Virginia Reserve" or Northwestern
Territory, and now in the state of Ohio.
This man made a journey on horseback to the West in 1797-
98, and purchased or somehow became possessed of a large tract
of land in Little Miami county, now within the corporate limits of
Cincinnati; but for reasons that do not appear, he abandoned this
and secured title to one thousand acres in the present Clermont
county, some ten miles east of Columbus, then in the "Virginia
Reserve", so called. This tract, one of the first to be settled in the
great Northwest, was surveyed in November, 1787; and in 1798
the first settlement was made, headed by Elder Maurice Witham.
In the autumn of 1798 he returned to the Saco valley as he
went, on horseback, accompanied by a half-breed Indian named
John Whales, (The mother of this John Whales was a
full-blooded squaw, belonging to one of the western tribes, and
John's early years were spent among the Indians. In a moment
of anger he had killed one of the savages, and fled to escape
the vengeance of the tribe. Being hunted by dogs, he eluded
them by taking to the water. While he was secreted on the bank
of the Ohio River, he discovered several of his dusky pursuers
approaching in a canoe and headed directly toward his hiding
place; and as soon as they were within range he sent bullets
through three of them. Aware that there would never be any
safety for him in the West, and having found the new settlement
and formed the acquaintance of Elder Witham, he procured a
horse and accompanied him to the East. He built a cabin on the
bank of what has since been called "Whales Pond" where he lived
as a "squatter" burning lampblack and stealing his neighbors' sheep,
until he was detected and driven away. He removed to Cornish and
continued his lawless course. He was once discovered in a store in
the night, having removed a shutter, and the owner tried to secure
him, but, seeing the gleam of the long knife with which he was armed,
allowed him to escape. He married a woman of respectability, and
many of his descendants are now living in western Maine, who show
some characteristics of their Indian ancestors.) and brought back
such a glowing account of the rich bottom lands and prairies, of the
salubrious climate and pure water, the beautiful forests and valuable
timber, plantiful game and mineral resources, that he induced two or
three families to dispose of their farms and stock and, the following
spring, to follow his "star of destiny" westward.
According to a description given the writer by one who
remembered the event, Elder Witham might have been (p. 696)
seen dressed in a well worn suit of black, under a broad-brimmed
hat, on an old "heaving" yellow mare, riding from neighborhood
to neighborhood up and down the Saco valley in Newbury-
Narragansett (now Buxton) and Little Falls Plantation (now
Hollis), halting here and there, surrounded by groups of sturdy
yeomen, while he enlarged, in vivid description, upon what he
had seen in the great West. He told of corn, growing from soil as
black as gunpowder and of unknown depth, higher than the tallest
of men; of natural grasses for pasturage growing on broad
blossoming prairies, upon which cattle became for for the
shambles in a few weeks; of inexhaustible fountains of purest
water, which he predicted would prove to be an elixir of life; of
tall chestnuts from which rails could be split as true as a line by
an axe stroke; of cedars from which shingles and clapboards
could be made that would never decay: of unfailing streams that
could be utilized for water powers and prove a source of wealth
to such as had a predisposition to engage in the lumber trade.
Mohawk potatoes would grow, he affirmed, as large as Caleb
Kimball's foot which had long been the unit of measurement for
large solid bodies in the Saco valley; and by this allusion to a
familiar object he enabled his hearers to form a ready estimate of
the size of the tubers. Was he not a minister of the gospel, this
Elder Maurice Witham, and, consequently, a man of truth?
The fact was, he was a man of superior intelligence, eloquence
of language, and speculative temperament, who could preach the
doctrine of predestination with power, and successfully embark in
business ventures, as a "side line", at the same time. He believed
that the saints should inherit the earth, had no doubt about his
being one of the elect, and wished to secure his share of the best
land before the available territory was absorbed. He was a Hard-
shell Baptist of the ultra stamp, a rigid close communionist, who
wished to establish a colony where he could live without any
interference from the other sects. As we survey the movement in
retrospect, aided by the testimony of excellent characters, both in
the East and West, who were personally acquainted with Maurice
Witham, some of whom followed him from New England to
Ohio, it appears that he had cherished the hope that, when settled
down upon his claim in the West, surrounded by a cluster of
families isolated from other communities and free from any
denominational intrusion, he could build up a little theological
kingdom of his own, all of one stripe.
The inception and execution of his plans, so far as they were
executed, was no haphazard thing, but a well arranged scheme,
which bid fair to materialize in organized form. Evidence of this
was found in the manner of surveying, allotment and disposition
of his lands among those who followed him to the West. Here he
exhibited his ingenuity and forethought. All lots assigned to
settlers radiated from a common centre, and extended backward
for half a mile, like the openings between wheel spokes. A
suitable plot was reserved at the hub for a church, school. burial
ground, blacksmith's shop and stores. Each owner was required
to erect his homestead upon the narrow end of his land; and thus
they formed a compact hamlet in neighborly association.
In the autumn of 1799 Elder Witham returned to New England
the second and last time, for the purpose of moving his own
family, and of inducing other families to follow him to the West.
Having waited for those who had first emigrated to gather a
harvest from the new lands, like the faithful spies from the land
that "flowed with milk and honey", he brought of the fruits of the
new country "the grapes of Eschol" in his saddlebags to prove
the truthfulness of his statements when on his first (p. 697)
homeward journey. There were potatoes surely of enormous size,
but not as large as Caleb Kimball's foot; there were ears of corn
of tremendous length, but not as long as common flail swingles;
and there was a braid of grass wound about the neck of his mare,
of luxuriant growth, but not as tall as giants. With these
specimens he rode through the Saco valley settlements and
exhibited them to the wondering inhabitants. As further proof of
the fertility of the soil, he brought letters from the families who
had first removed to his lands for their kindred in the East. These
epistles, one of which I have seen, were as high colored in
descriptive phrase as the meagre education of the writers would
admit. In one, it was stated that the potatoes grew so large that
while the writer was using his pen, his brother was sitting on one
end of the Mohawk, or Shenango, eating potato and butter, at the
same time that the other end was roasting in the embers at the
fireplace. Another wrote that the corn grew to such enormous size
that the kernels had to be cracked with a sledge-hammer before
they could be ground between millstones. This was hyperbole
with a vengeance. - of which there was very much in those old
days when New England began to go into the West. They also
wrote of mild winters, long, temperate summers, a climate
salubrious and delightful.
Such letters, written by the pioneers on the "Virginia
Reservation", contained the bacteria of an early western fever that
spread through the Saco valley until many families became
hopelessly infected. The excitement became so contagious that
the industrious farmers, whose domestic necessities required their
attention at home, neglected their daily work and assembled in
groups of dozens to mature plans for selling out and removing to
the West. As a result of this early craze, those who owned good
lands and comfortable buildings, whose expanding fields and
pastures were ornamented with abundant crops and decked with
goodly herds and flocks, who, having passed through the
preliminary struggles of cutting away the forest and subduing the
soil, were just entering upon an era of agricultural prosperity,
were so swept away from a coll estimate of the sacrifice they
were making, that they sold their farms and stock in haste at
ruinous prices, pulled up stakes, turned their backs upon their
native region and kindred and anticipated the advice of Horace
Greeley to go West.
Many of these farmers expended nearly every dollar they had
received for their land and stock for large horses, wagons and
harnesses, and in other preparations for their journey. All the
cordwainers in the Saco valley were called into commission to
cut up all the sides of leather in the tan pits of Ben Burnham and
Dan Hopkinson, and make harnesses for the big horses, while
wheelwrights and joiners were hewing, sawing and slashing to
build the great lumbering wagons of capacity sufficient to
accommodate the families and household gear to be transported
toward the setting sun.
It was indeed a sad hour when the time of parting came; and as
we look backward and try to appreciate the whole transaction and
all that this westward movement involved, we can hardly
understand the strength of the motive that was sufficient to impel
a family connection living together in a peaceful neighborhood to
turn away to untried scenes and circumstances; and we naturally
ask whether they were possessed of the finer sensibilities of
kindred attachment and filial affection, thus voluntarily to isolate
themselves from so many associations that should have bound
them to the homes of their childhood. The settlements where
they had lived on the Saco were nearly all made up of their own
relations, and they had become masters of the means of securing a
livelihood. On their estates there was an abundance of valuable
timber that could be turned into ready money and (p. 698) family
supplies; and there was no necessity behind to stimulate their
removal. The war of the Revolution was over; they had secured
valid titles to their land, had built commodious farm buildings,
were provided with schools, with mills for sawing lumber and
grinding corn, and their harvests were ample to supply them with
wholesome food. I was satisfied when visiting the West and
conversing with old men who, having been among those who
removed in 1800, were able to give me accurate information, that
much was sacrificed and nothing gained by this precipitate
exodus. It is true that the new lands were all that could be desired
for a new colony; and so were those they abandoned in the East.
Many who followed Elder Witham were united in amity with
those left behind and carried away with them much that had made
life enjoyable in their old neighborhood; and they left behind
them the remnants of broken families and the bleeding hearts of
those who loved them; and they knew the separation would be
final, so far as this world was concerned.
From the lips of two venerable men, one in the Saco valley
and his cousin in southern Illinois, at whose prairie home I was
visiting twenty years ago, I wrote down some reminiscences of
the parting scenes and the journey, as the two remembered them.
It was, they said, a balmy morning in "flax-bloom time", when
those composing the emigrating party took leave of their friends
and kindred and turned their faces away from their childhood
homes. On the evening previous, fathers and mothers had
gathered their children around them and knelt for the last time at
their hearthstones to pray. Mothers went from room to room to
take a last look at the homely walls and ceilings hallowed by toil
and domestic peace. Fathers strolled once more over the acres
they had cleared and brought to fertility. With quivering lips these
heard the familiar click of the door latch for the last time. Then
they turned away and went to pass the night with their aged
parents down the river. Before daybreak all was bustle with the
final preparations for the journey. Old, white-haired men sat at
their chimney-sides with bowed he adds brushing away the tears
that trickled down the furrows of their cheeks. Venerable
mothers, who had spent their stregnth in childbirth and the
bringing up of their children, were now, with many a sigh,
assisting them to depart. Brothers and sisters had journeyed from
the back towns to say farewell to those who had been nursed on
the same maternal bosom and rocked to sleep in the same cradle.
More distant relatives, indeed every family in the community, had
assembled to see the west-bound train depart.
When the great wagons had been loaded, and the horses
brought from the barns and hitched up, Elder Ebenezer Lewis,
widely known as "Uncle Eben" in the Saco settlements, called the
families together and delivered a brief and practical address, in
which he admonished all to remember the counsel of their early
years and the God of their fathers; then he knelt upon the green
turf-the very spot has been pointed out to me-and in a most
solemn and pathetic prayer commended the whole company to an
all-merciful and covenant-keeping Providence. Afterwards, amid
falling tears, the fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters,
neighbors and friends, fondly embraced each other. One by one
the children were handed up to the great covered wagons.
"Farewell, Abram" said a patriarchal father with faltering voice,
as he stood with uncovered head, his snowy locks tossing in the
breeze. "Good by, Patience", sobbed a poor old wrinkled mother,
as she held the hand and looked into the face of her first born for
the last time. "Good by, grandpa and grandma", cried a quartet of
little voices from the wagon. Then crack went the great leathern
whips, (p. 699) and one by one the slow, heavy-laden teams
moved away down the bank of the Saco.
Long and sadly did those gathered about the dooryard stand
and watch the departing teams. Not a word was spoken, for every
heart was full. When the last white covering of the wagons
disappeared below the hill, these neighbors silently separated and
pensively went their way. Back to their hearthstones, where they
had reared their children, went the aged parents, and sat down
forlorn. A cloud, dark and heavy, had gathered over the old home,
and they sighed: "O Abram, O Patience, how can we give thee
up!" "O Maurice Witham, ye have bereaved us of our children.
Would we had died for them!"
This is no fancy picture, but the cold attempt to delineate what
actually took place, as related substantially by those who were
eyewitnesses of the sad even t when their young minds were
impressionable and their memories retentive. Nor does the
account apply simply to one family, to the separation of one
kindred band: it applies to many.
There were twenty families in the train when all had come
together, and those who moved down the Saco River from the
plantations of Little Ossipee and Little Falls were witnesses of
what transpired at other homes as the caravan was augmented on
the road. At Salmon Falls, the rallying point for all, the saintly
Parson Coffin, of precious memory, had come down to bid adieu
to those families baptized and united in marriage by him. While
the long train of white-covered wagons was drawn up in the
highway, he called together those who lived in that vicinity, many
of them members of the church founded by him in the wilderness,
and reverently prayed with them. That was a memorable day in
the Saco River settlements, of which much was afterwards told
around the firesides in the years that succeeded. Many heart
woulnds were made that never healed: many an old mother's
tears fell upon her knitting work; and many a father brushed from
his cheek, fissured by the plough of Time, the dews distilled by
an aching heart, as they remembered those who were torn from
their arms on that sad morning.
Cooking utensils, such as were used at the time, were carried
in each wagon; and when night came on, the train was formed
into a circle, the horses were tethered to hubs driven into the
ground, and watched in turns by their owners, while the women
were preparing food for the supper. Seeing their fires, the people
living in the neighborhood of the emigrant camp came out to see
them and often brought refreshments for them. Jovial seasons
were enjoyed around those evening camp fires. One of the young
men, with musical inclinations, had taken his fiddle along to
beguile the hours of their loneliness; and in spite of Elder
Witham's remonstrances, the young men and maidens whiled
away an evening with dancing and merrymaking. These social
pastimes were often participated in by the youth who came to the
emigrant encampment from the homes along their route.
I was also informed that a pleasant incident of a romantic
character occurred on the journey. The horses wore wooden
hames without collars or padding, and when the train reached
Pennsylvania the poor creatures were so badly chafed that it was
necessary to halt for two weeks while the sore shoulders healed.
Being in a Dutch settlement, the men of the emigrating company
engaged in threshing grain with flails, and their wives in spinning
flax, for the kind families whose hospitality they shared, to pay
their keeping. It was while they thus tarried that a young
Dutchman became passionately enamored of a beautiful daughter
of one of the Saco valley families, and as she reciprocated his
affections they were loath to part. After a delay of sixteen days,
some of the horses were still too (p. 700) sore to be harnessed,
and these were exchanged for sound ones, with the Dutch
farmers. "My father", said my old informant, "traded one of hit
big horses for a tight-bitted mare, and found afterwards that she
would bite like a sarpint, and kick like a mu-el." As the emigrants
resumed their journey, there was a touching scene when the
young Hans took leave of the damsel who had so struck his fancy.
The sequel proved that some rather sacred promises were made
by the two before they separated; for so powerful was the
feminine magnet, that on the second day after leaving the Dutch
settlement the young man joined the emigrants and journeyed
with them to their destination. This accounts for the wedding in
the colony of New England families between Hans Frelinghusen
and Pattie Woodman, the first there united in wedlock by the
founder of the settlement, Elder Witham; and a record of his
contract should be preserved in Clermont county, Ohio, until this
day.
The women, from the day the families had decided to
emigrate, had employed every spare moment in spinning woollen
yarn, and were busy with their knitting work while on their
journey, in the wagons and arjound the fires when encamped; and
many a little foot was kept warm during the following winter with
stockings their mothers had knitted while on the way to 'Hio.
I asked my old friend one evening, while sitting on his porch
at Webb's Prairie, whether Elder Witham himself took any of the
"Oh, be joyful" while on the trip. He answered "Sartinly!
Sartinly! Why, everybody took the ardent when they could get it
in them days. I remember him well. He would swallow a little
and then snap his eyes and smack his lips smartly, as if he took
kindly to it."
There were some lively encounters on the road. When they
reached a broad highway, they raced horses "ontil the waggins
rumbled like an airthquaker, and the dust rose like a heavy
cloud." "My soul! How the pots and kittles rattled!" said Uncle
Sam as he threw his head back and laughed. "Speaking of
dancing," he said, "I could tell you that my mother was an all-
killin' powerful dancer, and could tucker down any man who
dared to take the floor agin her."
Elder Witham constantly rode in advance, on his yellow mare,
and guided the long winding caravan slowly westward. He had
covered the trail as many as four times, and was familiar with
every inch of the track. When he said, "Advance," the train
moved forward; when he rode back and said, "Halt," they went
into camp. There were no hosts led on behind by Pharaoh, no
rumblings of chariot wheels to fear, and they took their time.
When they reached the Alleghany Mountains, the ascent was
so steep that the emigrants found it necessary to double up their
teams and draw the heavy wagons up by stages, one at a time; and
men walked behind with billets of wood to trig the wheels when
they allowed the horses to stop and rest. In descending, long
withes were twisted into the hoops of their wagon covers, and
these, held by men who walked on the upper side of the uneven
road, prevented the wagons from capsizing. When going down a
very steep hillside, a young horse on which one of the lads was
riding stepped upon a loose stone, stumbled and fell, throwing the
rider upon a ledge and breaking his arm. The teams could not be
stopped, and the lad was put into one of the wagons, where he
suffered excruciating pain until the foothills were reached; then
they laid him upon a quilt at the roadside and his fractured limb
was bound up between two rough "splints" cut from a cedar
sapling for the purpose; then he mounted the colt again, but
suffered terribly from the jolting motion over the flinty road.
At Redstone Creek a halt was called, and the whole company
waited until great timber flatboats were constructed (p. 701) upon
which to transport the families, horses, wagons and gear down to
the place of landing. Here a stranger fell in with them, who said
he was on his way to the Northwestern Territory to prospect for
land. As he appeared to be honest, and his objective point was the
same, he was permitted to take a pair of the horses down the river
by land. This would reduce the cargo and help the traveler on his
way.
The passage down the river was uneventful. Frightful stories
had been heard about hostile Indians skulking along the shores to
waylay emigrants; and as a precaution the flatboats were
anchored every night some distance from the banks, where they
remained, guarded by armed sentinels. The arrival of the settlers
had been anticipated, and at the landing place the party was
greeted with acclamations of joy by their kindred, who had
followed Elder Witham to the settlement a year before.
The stranger did not appear with the horses as promised, and
after waiting for several days, the owner went back in search of
them. One was found where it had been turned out to care for
itself; but, being too poor and weak to drive, it was exchanged for
a two-year-old heifer and a note of hand, which was never paid.
The other horse, a valuable one, was never found, nor was the
adventurer to whom it had been intrusted ever afterwards heard
of.
"How long were you on the journey?" I asked my old friend.
"We left Saco valley at flax-bloom time, and reached our
destination and roast-ear time," was his prompt reply. They were
on the road, including the two weeks in the Dutch settlement,
about three months.
Some of the families were permitted to spend their first winter
in the cabins of their kindred who had preceded them; others
made haste to cut down trees for log houses, and in a few days
were sheltered from the storms under a bark roof and living upon
a ground floor. The family of which "Uncle Sam" was a member
passed their second winter in a rude hut of puncheons roofed with
great squares of chestnut bark. There was but one small room,
one door, and no window. A store of meal and potatoes was laid
in; but all the meat the family had was brought to them by two
Dutch hunters, named Van Eaton, who came occasionally to tarry
for a night. These provided some fore quarters of venison and
wild turkeys to pay for lodgings, which were very acceptable. In
this cabin a family consisting of the parents and four children
were sheltered; and a fifth child was born there during the winter.
Meanwhile the father and his eldest sons were splitting rails for
Elder Witham, to pay for their land. There was none ill, they were
contented, and "came out as fat as woodchucks in the spring."
"Nothing to do but build a log meeting-house as soon as we got
fairly landed," said my old friend. It was a sanctuary in the
wilderness, a small, rude building, twenty by thirty feet, laid up
with rough logs and warmed in cold weather by a stone-cobbled
fireplace. When their first winter in the West had passed, the men
united in building houses for those who had lived in the cabins of
their kindred; and then the settlement, named "Witham's
Settlement", began to assume some resemblance to a village.
Strong arms, nerved by resolute wills, hewed down the forest, and
domestic peace prevailed.
On Sabbath mornings the families assembled within their
"parish church" and sat on timber seats to hear Elder Witham
preach; and the year after their arrival a powerful revival was
experienced and many were baptized and gathered into a church.
And here for seven or eight years this Moses, who had led his
people through the wilderness between New England and the
great Northwestern Territory, held sway as ecclesiastical head.
Thus far his plans had materialized, (p. 702) and he could "sit

General Notes: Child - Avis Katrine Shaw
BAR HARBOR — Avis Katrine Keene, at 82 years of age, went home to her Savior June 20, 2012, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. She spent her last four years at Sonogee. Avis was born Sept. 12, 1929, in West Sebois.
The earliest years of her life were marked by tragedy having lost her mother when she was 8 years of age. Under state care, Avis and her young siblings were placed in a foster home where she was to learn the hardships of labor — scrubbing floors on her hands and knees, washing dishes, doing laundry and waiting on the boarders that her foster parents attracted to The Brookdale Farm in West Sebois. There was little joy or play in Avis' childhood, but in reflecting on these years, it is clear that it helped cement the bond with her siblings, who were subjected to these trials as well. This experience, as difficult as it was, prepared her for a life of selfless service to her family and friends. After leaving Lee Academy, Avis came to Bar Harbor upon the encouragement of her teacher, Nancy McFarland, who summered there. Avis began working with Mrs. McFarland at the elegant Malvern Belmont Estates. There she met a handsome, charming young sailor, William Samuel Keene. They courted and subsequently married in 1947. Together they raised a family of four and ultimately welcomed 19 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. For decades, Avis' arms lovingly cradled babies — her own children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren while she cooed them to sleep with sweet lullabies. As they all grew Avis introduced them to the magic of camp. Each weekend during three seasons, Avis and Bill would be at their camp at Donnell's Pond in Franklin where Avis was something to all: swooping toddlers in the cool pond — waiting for the squeals of delight and pleas for more, baking blueberry pies in the woodstove, serving afternoon coffee (just at the right time or on demand) brewed slowly on the woodstove bubbling under the glass knob of the percolator or preparing a big spread of homemade baked beans with freshly prepared yeast rolls for whoever was at camp. At home or at camp, Avis was able to satisfy and charm with her homemade culinary delights. On occasion when Avis needed a little solitude, she would grab the walking stick Bill made for her and head to the blueberry barrens. Here she would walk and commune with nature spotting an occasional bear or deer or on rare occasions a bobcat. Her walks helped her to recharge — knowing all the while Bill was keeping the children and grandchildren busy with badminton, horseshoes or boating. During the cold winter months, Avis created intricate quilts by hand-preferring her steady stitch rather than the speed of the electric sewing machine. She also taught her grandchildren to knit and crochet. Many of these handcrafted treasures became gifts. She also found pleasure in traveling to visit family in Florida and North Carolina, reading and doing word puzzles. Having lived a fairly traditional life as a stay-at-home mother and devoted wife, late in her life at the age of 64, when most women have long retired, Avis got her driver's license. This afforded her the freedom to travel way beyond the miles that her feet had previously carried her giving her a great sense of independence and accomplishment. Throughout her life, she was devoted to God and Jesus Christ and was a longtime member of St. Saviour's Episcopal Church, Bar Harbor.
She is survived by a brother, Dick Shaw; one sister, Jean Peters; sons, Bill Jr. and wife, Marge, Dick and wife, Gail, Jerry and wife, Barbara; one daughter, Debbie Oechslie and husband, Bob; 19 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Avis was predeceased by her husband, Bill Keene Sr.; her father, William Percy Shaw and mother, Edna Mae (Bragg) Shaw; a brother, Francis; and sisters, Norma, Mary, Christine and Hattie.
General Notes: Child - Norma Shaw
Silver Springs, Florida and Millinocket - Norma A. Foote, 85, went to be with the Lord Saturday, January 12, 2008 from an Ocala, Florida health care facility. She was born February 28, 1922 in West Sebois, the daughter of William and Edna (Bragg) Shaw. Norma was very active in the Millinocket Baptist Church for many years, teaching Sunday School, working with the choir and many charitable events with the church. She was also involved with many skits at the church with Roger Boynton, Ozzy Pound, Jr. Shanks, and Dot Kelly. Norma made hand puppets, teddy bears, and animals for neighborhood children, as well as flying her handmade kites with them. She loved her little nature walks in the surrounding woods near her home, where she would gather berries and wild flowers. Norma will be dearly missed by all of her family. She is survived by a son, Thomas Foote and his wife Catherine; a daughter in law, Linda Foote of Hyde Park, Massachusetts; a brother, Richard Shaw and his wife Mary Ellen, all of Millinocket; two sisters, Jean Peters and her husband Vaughn of Mattawamkeag, and Avis Keene of Bar Harbor; four grandchildren, Diana Nicholson and her husband Rick of East Millinocket, Karen Birmingham and her husband Kirk of Millinocket, Scott Foote of Oxnard, California, and Wendy Lactara and her husband Ted of Southwick, MA; three great grandchildren, Melanie, Amanda, and Andrea; five great great grandchildren, Natalie, Lillian, Emily, Andrew, and Michael; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Norma was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Lewis C. Foote in 1994; a son, Allen Foote in 2007, and siblings Hattie Lovejoy, Christine Pratt, Mary Pratt, and Francis Shaw.

Notes for EDWARD BRAGG: Per genealogy report by Lorraine Bragg...
"Edward, the first of the name in this country, came in 1642 with Mr. Samu el Symonds, and settled in Ipswich in 1648. He is called sixty-four yea rs old in 1680, makling his birth date about 1616.
"He is listed in early records as a servant of Mr. Symonds. Historians do ubt this, believing that he used a ruse employed by many for government de ceptions. Fealing a long delay and possible refusal, a friend was often a sked to list them as his servant. That Edward did this is attest ed to by the position he assumed in the colony.
"He is listed as a woolen draper, a freeman and voter in Town affairs. T he right to vote was restricted to freemen and it was not easy to attain t his status. All had to pass a minute examination of their religious vie ws and moral character and have a rateable estate of 200 pounds.
"In 1674 only 2,527 persons were listed as freeman, although there were 12 ,634 males in the Massachusetts, USA Bay Colony. There was quite a distin ction between freemen and inhabitants.
"Edward Bragg is listed as executor of several estates, including th at of Mr. Symonds, who at the time of his death was Deputy Governor of t he Massachusetts, USA Bay Colony, He is called Mr., which was a tit le of importance among early settlers. He was also assigned a seat at t he Lord's table, which was a mark of distinction.
"The colonists were very strict at first in limiting the use of Mr. to th ose whose families belonged to the landed gentry and to those whose offici al position entitled them to it. In assigning seats in the meeting hous e, a great deal of attention was paid to social importance. The gentlem en had the first pews; after them the respectable tradesmen and farmers, a nd lastly, the servants and those of low social standing.
"In his book, Ipswich in the Massachusetts, USA Bay Colony, Thomas Wate rs describes Edward's farm as extensive and his house spacious.
"In his old age (Edward) deeded his farm to his son Timothy, by an instrum ent that bound Timothy to plow each year an acrea of flax for him, care f or the garden spot in front of the door, furnish a horse, 60 sheep, 60 bus hels of Indian corn, 20 bushels of malt, 15 bushels of wheat and rye (call ed Misalings), 6 barrels of cider, 10 bushels of winter apples and summ er apples as needful. It further stipulated that he should improve 50 ro ds yearly, also if Edward's now wife sees good to live a half year at sa id dwelling after decease of said Edward, said Timothy shall carry h er to meeting on the Sabbath and lecture days if she so desires it.
"The church was the center of all activity. Ipswich, as did all coloni al towns, included all the settlements for miles. Church attendance was r equired. The first public building was the church. The first salaried pe rson was the minister. Many had to travel miles through snow, fording str eams, taking down fences and enduring great hardship. Parents were fin ed if children misbehaved in Church.
"Edward married first Elizabeth MacKamallen, who died in 1690. He marri ed second, Sarah Reddington. In his will dated January 1, 1706, he mentio ns his wife Sarah and Children born in Ipswich.
"In his will, he gave three pounds to the church for a piece of silver pla te. The first church of Ipswich had in its museum until recently, a silv er cup bearing his initials. After a disastrous fire the contents of t he museum were given to the museum of Yale University. (Pioneers of Massa chusetts, USA, Under Prince by Pope, p.375)"

Thomas Bragg at last landed a blow on h is tormentor's nose with dire effect. Fined 10 shillings."

Notes
First Name:
Josiah
Biblical name (meaning “God heals” in Hebrew) borne by a king of Judah, whose story is recounted in 2 Kings 22-3. This was fairly frequently used as a given name in the English-speaking world, especially among Dissenters, from the 18th to the early 20th century. The most famous English bearer is the potter Josiah Wedgwood (1730-95). In North America this was a recurrent name in the Quincy family of Massachusetts; the best-known Josiah Quincy (1744-75) was a pre- Revolutionary patriot, who died at the age of 31 while returning from arguing the cause of the American colonists in London.
