Genealogies - THOMAS to YORK

[Transcribed by Dave Swerdfeger]

THOMAS. Humphrey, Moses, Peter and William Thomas were taxed in old Falmouth in 1766. William and Sarah Thomas owned the covenant at the First Parish Church 25 Nov. 1764. It seems that by the first marriage with Sarah ---- William Thomas had children, William, Joseph and Sarah who married Jacob Stanford, all of Cape Elizabeth. William Jr., married 19 Dec 1793, Eunice Robinson and lived in Durham 1798-1804 on lot 100. He was a sea-captain and moved back to Cape Elizabeth. William Thomas, Senior, married (2) 24 Dec. 1769 Mrs. Abigail (Marriner) Simonton, widow of Capt. Theophilus Simonton, whom she had married 10 Jan. 1765. Her daughter by first marriage married Joshua Miller. After the death of her second husband Mrs. Simonton married, 4 April 1793, William Ray. In her old age she lived in the family of Joshua Miller, Senior, of Durham, and was known as "Granny Ray." It is related that on one occasion there was a husking at Mr. Miller's and the young people were having a social time, when some one in sport offered to give a bushel of corn to Samuel Jordan, familiarly called "Linsey," if he would kiss Granny Ray, who sat quietly knitting in her high-backed chair in the corner. While the old man hesitated and the laugh went round, the old lady exclaimed encouragingly, "come right along, Mr. Jordan, come right along, you can't get a bushel of corn any easier." This turned the tide of merriment in another direction. William and Abigail (Simonton) Thomas had a son Theophilus Simonton Thomas, born in Cape Elizabeth in 1775. He married, 20 Nov. 1794, Elizabeth, daughter of Josiah and Priscilla Stanford, who was born in Cape Elizabeth in 1779. He was first taxed in Durham in 1809 and died there 2 Mch. 1841. His wife died 13 Mch. 1863. JAMES b. 20 Feb. 1799. See p. 263. WILLIAM b. 30 May 1802. See p. 263. WOODBURY b. 14 Jan. 1804. See p. 263.

They lived at first near Parker Hill, but soon moved to the Brunswick Road, a third of a mile below the Free Baptist Church. After marriage he settled on lot 58, where he resided till his death. He was a man of genial nature and made many friends. His firmness of character made him hold tenaciously to opinions once formed, whether in religion or in politics. When the Whig party disbanded, his transition was easy to the Republican ranks. About 1835 he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church of which he continued a zealous supporter. A large part of the New Testament was stored in his memory, and he made good use of it in public exhortations. He married, Nov. 1832, Pamelia, daughter of James Jordan of Lisbon, who was born 14 April 1810 and died 2 Mch. 1840. His second wife was Lovina N., daughter of Dea.

The ancestor of the Tracys came from Normandy with William the Conqueror. His coat of arms may be seen in the Roll of Battle Abbey, "Argent, an escallop in the chief point sable, between two bandlets gules." Grace, dau. of Henri de Traci, Lord of Barnstable, married, 1104, John de Studeley, and her second son assumed the name of his maternal ancestor, William de Traci, and had the coat of arms above described, except that the color argent was changed to or. The tenth Sir William Tracy of Toddington had a son, Richard Tracy Esq. of Stanway, whose son Nathaniel was the father of the Lieut. Thomas Tracy, born about 1610, who was enrolled at Salem 23 Feb. 1637. He married in Wethersfield, Conn., 1641, the widow of Edward Nason, and lived in Saybrook fourteen years. He settled in Norwich, Conn., about 1655. He was Deputy or Representative of the town twenty-one semi-annual sessions, and his son Solomon nineteen sessions. He m. (2) 1676 Mrs. Martha Bradford; (3) Mrs. Mary (Foot) (Stoddard) Goodrich. He died in Norwich 7 Nov. 1685. By first marriage he had seven children, of whom Jonathan was born in 1648. He married 11 July 1672 Mary, dau. of Francis Greswould and settled in that part of Norwich, Conn., which is now Preston. He was Town Clerk, Lieut. in the Training Band, and Justice of the Peace. He died in 1711. He had a son Christopher, who was the father of the Jonathan Tracy who was born in Norwich (or Preston) 29 Dec. 1713. This Jonathan came to old Falmouth, Me., and married in 1743 Abigail, dau. of Jeremiah and Rachel Riggs. (Riggs was a tanner, son of John and Ruth (Wheeler) Riggs of Gloucester, Mass. He came to Falmouth in 1725 and lived near Stroudwater.) Their first four children were baptized at the First Parish Church, of which the parents became members in 1744. They lived in the vicinity of Back Cove, and he was Sergeant of a militia company there in 1757. In Aug. 1762 Jonathan Tracy moved to Gouldsborough, Me., induced by the proprietors by the free grant of lots of land for himself and sons. His descendants in that town and vicinity are very numerous. In an old family Bible, now in the possession of Wm. H. Thomas, the following children are recorded: JEREMIAH b. 9 Aug. 1744 JONATHAN b. 24 Mch. 1746. LYDIA b. 21 Feb. 1748 SOLOMON b. 4 Mch. 1750. MARY b. 17 May 1752 ABIGAIL b. 3 June 1754.

Of these Solomon, Christopher and Samuel settled in Durham. Solomon Tracy married 8 April 1773 in Falmouth Mary Getchell. They lived for a while in Durham, where sons Solomon Jr., Nathaniel, who m. 24 Dec. 1801 Molly Beal, and probably other children (m. 25 Sept. 1803 Wm. Beal and Mary Tracy. m. 5 Dec. 1805 James LeBarron and Rhoda Tracy. m. int. 24 Feb. 1810 Wm. Grant and Peggy Tracy.) were born. They removed to Rome, Me. Solomon Jr. returned to Durham, married Deborah Dunn of Poland and had the following children: NATHANIEL b. 10 July 1795, d. in Rome, Me., at the age of 93 yrs. POLLY b. 26 May 1797 JOSEPH b. 4 Aug. 1799 PEGGY b. 16 May 1802; BENJAMIN b. 7 Mch. 1804 JAMES SOLOMON 3d. Rev. Christopher Tracy (See Biog., and Revolutionary Record) born in Falmouth 2 Oct. 1758, came to Royalsborough about 1778. He married Anna Getchell in 1780 and settled on lot 79. Tracy's Island still bears his name. His wife was born 14 June 1761 and died 19 Oct. 1835. He died 12 Nov. 1839. The number thirteen did not prove very unlucky in the Tracy family, since he, his father and his brother Samuel had each thirteen children. HANNAH b. 25 Oct. 1780; m. 28 Nov. 1799 Joseph (Henry?)

Lemuel Turner and Abigail Starbird of No. Yarmouth (Freeport) were married 16 Jan. 1755. They were, doubtless, the parents of Isaac and Ezekiel who settled in Durham, and also of Desire, who married Stephen Weston. The home of the Turner family in Freeport was near Mast Landing.

He was drowned while mackerel-catching at age of about 55 yrs. Joanna (Roberts) Turner was a woman of remarkable character. She was born 1 Oct. 1773. The date on her tombstone is earlier than this, but it is an error. She had fifteen children. Her home was not far from the Stone Mill. She possessed a deeply religious nature. Her faith is illustrated in her daily prayer for twenty years that her son William, supposed to have been lost at sea, might yet return to her. One day he walked in with thrilling adventures to tell of life among the islands of the sea and of hair-breadth escapes from cannibals, etc. One night, when her husband was away, the wolves surrounded her cabin. The watch-dog became so furious that he had to be released and was torn in pieces by the pack. Notwithstanding scanty means she was generous in feeding the hungry and caring for orphans. She remembered the prayer-meeting on Hezekiah Gerrish's hill, when she separated from her brother, the Rev. Daniel Roberts, elsewhere mentioned in this History. She married (2) 2 Sept. 1824, Samuel Sawyer. Her death occurred 27 Mch. 1858. Her children, all by first marriage, who grew up were: LEMUEL m.(1) 22 Jan. 1815 Mary Wormell; (2) 1830 Olive Sawyer. Ch.

He moved to Royalsborough in 1780. He was a farmer and blacksmith. While in N.H. the patriots annoyed him by their demands on his skill for the repair of the locks of their muskets, the fitting of bayonets and the making of swords, all of which were in opposition to his convictions against war and its concomitants, he being a member of the Society of Friends. So he sold out such of his possessions as could not be moved, and embarked with the rest of his family in a coaster. They disembarked at Mast Landing, Freeport. He drove a flock of sheep through the woods to his new abode on Lot 2. He died 20 Jan. 1814. His wife died 28 Jan. 1828.

Ebenezer, Jr., was born in Dover, N.H., 31 Mch. 1704, married, 24 Dec. 1729, Elizabeth Hanson, and died 30 Nov. 1776. Nicholas, son of Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Hanson) Varney, was born in Dover, N.H., Feb. 21, 1740. He married Nov. 28, 1764 Mary, dau. of Edward and Patience (Carr) Estes. After living a few years in Falmouth he purchased, in 1782, lot No. 17 of Stephen Hart in Royalsborough. Hart's buildings had just been burned and Varney built his house on the hill southwest of John Varney's blacksmith-shop. The house is now occupied by his great-grandson, George E. Varney. He belonged to the Society of Friends, and their rules prohibited any active part in war. They protested against all taxes, any part of which was to meet war expenses. Since it was impossible to discriminate in tax-bills what portion was for war, some of the Friends refused to pay any taxes at all. When the collector of Royalsborough called on Nicholas Varney, he persistently refused payment of the amount assessed upon him. Consequently the sheriff came and seized a new milch-cow, and sought also to take away her young calf with her. The boys, unterrified by the officer's badge and ignoring the spirit of the Quaker principle of non-resistance, mixed those calves up so that the officer was unable to decide which was the right one; and finding it difficult to catch and impossible to drive any one, he went away with the cow alone. The animal was sold, and the next time the officer came that way he brought the balance of the sale money remaining after the deduction of the tax-bill. Neither husband nor wife would touch the polluted currency, and the officer could relieve himself of the responsibility for the money only by laying it upon the high shelf at a corner of the room. There the money remained untouched for many months. When the next year the officer came round for another collection, his demand was met only by an allusion to what he had done the previous year and the statement that the money he had placed on the shelf then was still there. The officer found it so and withdrawing from it the amount required, returned the balance to its former position. It proved sufficient for the third year also. The family of Nicholas Varney is here given. ELIZABETH b. 1Nov. 1765; d. 1 Mch. 1836. ESTES b. 11 Aug. 1768; d. 8 Feb. 1828; m. ---- Sargent. EBENEZER b. 7 Jan. 1771; d. 21 Mch. 1840.

Thomas Williams came from England, Feb. 18, 1717, "when gooseberries were in blow," and reached Boston, April 17, 1717, "when the snow was very deep." He was employed in teaching Latin in Boston, and subsequently removed to the part of Georgetown that is now Bath. It is said that he was a physician, and that he often expressed his regrets at having ever left England. The above is cited from Wheeler's History of Brunswick, p. 757. "Thomas Williams lived at Winnegance in 1729, and remaining there became the first permanent settler of Bath." So says Reed's Hist. of Bath, p. 23. He seems to have had sons Thomas, who married in 1746 Margaret Drummond; George, who signed a petition for a new parish in Georgetown in 1753, which parish was afterwards Bath; and SAMUEL. Perhaps there were others. A daughter married James Hunter of Topsham. Thomas Williams was Lieut. of Georgetown Militia in 1757. Samuel Williams married (Int. Rec. 14 Sept. 1754) Mercy, dau. of Anthony Coombs who lived on lot 28 in Brunswick. This was probably the Anthony Coombs who married in 1722 Mercy Hodgkins in Gloucester, Mass. He migrated to Falmouth and thence to New Meadows, Brunswick in 1739. Samuel Williams bought, in 1761, parts of lots 20 and 7 on Sebascodigan or Great Island, Harpswell. He was living at "Duck Cove" in 1799. It seems that he died soon after. He had children, Samuel, Jr., who lived on the Island; Benjamin, Daniel and Peter, who all moved to Thomaston; and GEORGE, who settled in Durham. There were also several daughters. Mercy Williams, wife of Samuel, Senr., died in Thomaston Sept. 1824, aged 94 yrs. Samuel Williams was a private in Capt. James Curtis' Co., enlisting 10 June 1775 and serving two months and four days. He reenlisted 9 Aug. 1775 and served five months and five days. A Samuel Williams of Harpswell was Sergeant in Capt. Nathaniel Larrabee's Co., enlisting 9 July 1775 and serving six months and seven days. These were probably father and son. George Williams, born in Harpswell 3 Aug. 1777, married Mabel, dau. of Noah Litchfield of South Lewiston. Noah Litchfield was born in Scituate, Mass. 24 Jan. 1753. He married 9 July 1778 Mabel Wade of Scituate, born 9 June 1758. He was the first Town Clerk of Lewiston and died 17 Nov. 1827. His wife died 12 July 1838.
