THE BATTLE OF LOVELL'S POND BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

I've previously written about my colonial Massachusetts relatives who
were among the "snow-shoe soldiers" that fought the French-allied
Indians during "Dummer's War" (known as Queen Anne's War in Europe).
They were commanded by Captain John Lovewell, who led three expeditions
against the Indians, and died in battle at Pequawket, now known as Fryeburg,
Maine on 9Nov 1725. The fight took place near a pond now known
as Lovewell or Lovell's Pond.

As it happens, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's first published work is a short
poem about the battle. It appeared in the Portland Gazette newspaper on 17Nov
1820. He was 13 years old at that time: 

The Battle of Lovell’s Pond

COLD, cold is the north wind and rude is the blast   
That sweeps like a hurricane loudly and fast,   
As it moans through the tall waving pines lone and drear,   
Sighs a requiem sad o’er the warrior’s bier.   

The war-whoop is still, and the savage’s yell          
Has sunk into silence along the wild dell;   
The din of the battle, the tumult, is o’er,   
And the war-clarion’s voice is now heard no more.   

The warriors that fought for their country, and bled,   
Have sunk to their rest; the damp earth is their bed;           
No stone tells the place where their ashes repose,   
Nor points out the spot from the graves of their foes.   

They died in their glory, surrounded by fame,   
And Victory’s loud trump their death did proclaim;   
They are dead; but they live in each Patriot’s breast,           
And their names are engraven on honor’s bright crest.
HENRY.

As it happens, Henry's was not the first poem about the battle. An older one had been
popular in New England for quite some time. I'll discuss that next.

THE SEVENTH ANNUAL GREAT GENEALOGY POETRY CHALLENGE

It's time to start thinking about the Seventh Annual Great Genealogy Poetry
Challenge!


As in the past, I'll be posting the links to the submissions on Thanksgiving Day,
which this year falls on Thursday, November 26th. Deadline for submissions will be
a week before, on Thursday, November 19th. That gives everyone nearly two
months to find (or write) and share their poem or song. If you find one long before
that deadline you can post it on your blog now, but don't forget to send me the link to
it before November 19th!
    
These are the Challenge rules:

1. Find a poem by a  poet, famous or obscure, about the region
one of your ancestors lived in. It can be about an historical event, a
legend, a person, or even about some place (like a river)or a local
animal. It can even be a poem you or one of your ancestors have written!
0r if you prefer, post the lyrics of a song or a link to a video of someone
performing the song. 

2. Post the poem or song to your blog (remembering to cite the source
where you found it.).  If you wish to enter an older post, you may as long
as long as it has not appeared here in an earlier Poetry Challenge.
 
3.Tell us how the subject of the poem or song relates to your ancestor's
home or life, or the area of the country where they lived.

4.Submit your post's link here to me by midnight Thursday, November 19th
and I'll publish all links to the entries on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th!

If  you submit a humorous poem or song that will be entered under the
"Willy Puckerbrush" division. Willy was the late geneablogger Terry
Thornton's alias for some humorous posts and comments.


There you have it, and with nearly two months to work with, I'm hoping that
gives everyone plenty of time to take part this year!

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 34: THE CHILDREN OF WESLEY COBURN

I've written about Wesley(Westley) Coburn  previously, but before I move onto
the families of the Coburn wives, I wanted to list the children of Wesley and Lucy (Stowe)
Coburn here  because of the interesting connections made by the marriages of
those children:


Lovinia Coburn b. 12 Sept 1828 at Albany, Me. Married Parker V Brown, 5Jun 1851 at
Shelburne, Coos, NH.

Melvin Stow Coburn, b. 4 Jul 1831 at Albany Me. Married: (1) Elizabeth Barker sometime before 1855. (2) Sophronia Merrill 16 Mar 1895

Leander Coburn  b. 1834?  N.F.R.

Moses R. Coburn b. 24 Nov 1835 Bethel, Me.  Married Mary S Reynolds  31 Jan 1858 at
Albany, Me.

Lucy Elizabeth Coburn b. 10 Aug 1842 at Albany, Me. Married Nathaniel S. Barker 31 Jan 1858 at
Albany, Me.    

A few observations about the list of children:
- Melvin Stow Coburn and Lucy Coburn both married children of Nathaniel Barker and
Huldah Hastings. Lucy is my 2x great grandmother.

- Moses R. Coburn's wife Mary S. Reynolds was the sister of Orpha Reynolds, first wife
of my 2x great grandfather Jonathan Phelps West. 

-Mary S. Reynolds' mother was Ruhama Ames, sister of my 3x great grandmother Arvilla Ames, who was Jonathan Phelps West's mother.

Oh what a tangled web!

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 33: THE ESTATE OF MOSES COBURN 1765-1848

Here, finally, is the Inventory of 4x great grandfather's estate. I've left the spelling and
capitalization exactly as written, except for the placement of the names of the appraisers
which is hard for me to duplicate. And for some reason the column of figures wanders all
over the place when I c&p the completed post here from Wordpad. Ah well.

What always fascinates me is how inexpensive things are in comparison to present day prices:

Moses left those "two months pay of pention" to his youngest son Lot Spaulding Coburn. I wonder if

THE WILL OF MOSES COBURN PT2 REVISITED

Here's the image of Moses Coburn's will and my transcription of it.



I Moses Coburn of Newry in the County of Oxford and the State of Maine, being
desirous to make a distribution of my estate in a manner different from what the law
would make it, declare the following to be my last will and testament,
First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved son, Lot Spaulding Coburn four beds, and the bedding belonging to the said beds; now in use by myself & family; also one chest with two drawers and one trunk; together with all the chairs & one table now in use of
Myself & family; also three bedsteads & one loom now use in said family;also all the
crockery ware knives & forks, together with all the house goods & utensils; now in use
of said family;also one parlour stove; also all the money due to me--from pension of
the United States if any there shall be after my decease; also one cow which I now own.
Second I give & bequeath unto my beloved Wesley B Coburn all my wearing apparel,
all the above named property to be held & possessed as above named--
I hereby nominate & appoint Lot Spaulding Coburn my son, Executor of this my last will & testament In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand & seal this twelfth day
of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & fortysix.
Signed and sealed, by the said Moses Coburn, and by him declared to be his last will &
testament, & we & each of in his presence & at the same time subscribe our names
as witnesses.
Joel Foster
John Brown
Louisa A Brown

My first thought is that Moses was much better off at the end of his life than when he
applied for his pension nearly thirty years earlier. I have to again wonder if that $ 135
in arrears pension money was issued as a lump sum because that would have made
him a moderately wealthy man.

Next, there are those whose names are not mentioned in the will. There's no mention
of his wife, my 4x great grandmother Esther (Spaulding) Coburn. Nor is there any
mention of his other children, including oldest son Moses Jr. I'll have to check and
see what I can find out about them and where they were at the time Moses made his will.

Next post, I'll discuss the inventory of the estate,.

To be continued,.

THE WILL OF MOSES COBURN PT1 REVISITED: A MYSTERY DATE

(In July of 2014 I started a series of posts on the will of my 4x great grandfather Moses Coburn,
the second of my Coburn ancestors with that name. I wrote two posts and meant to add a third,
this one to discuss his estate inventory, but for some reason I never did. So I'm reposting the first
two and then will post the missing third for my latest installment of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
2015 Challenge.)



Before I get on to the particulars of the will of my ancestor Moses Coburn, I thought I'd discuss his death date. You see, I thought it was 4May 1848, but it isn't. Let me tell you the reason why I've changed my mind.

First, I'd found what I thought was the correct date in two places: one was on Find A Grave in a photo of Moses Coburn's gravestone, which you can see here. That seemed to be confirmed by this image of the request for a gravestone in FamilySearch's Maine, Veterans Cemetery Records, 1676-1918 file. Both give the date of death as 4May 1848.

But.....
When I downloaded the Will and Probate file, there was a problem. Moses' will was written on 12Mar 1846. That in and of itself was not unusual, however, there is this document in the Probate file:

If Moses' son Lot Coburn presented the will as executor on 20Sept 1847, eight months before the date on the headstone, obviously the date in the headstone request and on the headstone is wrong. Moses might have died on 4May 1847 and whoever filled out the request form gave the wrong date. Or he could have died on some other date in 1847 before 20Sept when Lot Coburn submitted the will to the court.

So I'm left with a mystery date, which for the moment I've changed to just 1847 in my database, and a lesson as to the importance of wills and probates in genealogical research.

DINAH COBURN "A NEGRESS"

Genealogy of the descendants of  Edward Colburn/Coburn  p29

I mentioned in an earlier post that Caleb Coburn's guardian Timothy Coburn had a servant
who was a subject of some family stores. Here is the story of Dinah: 


During this period slaves were owned in the state, and Mr.
Cobum needing assistance in his large family bought, in Boston,
a young negress called Dinah. She was brought to Dracut by
him on horseback, and was always known as "Dinah Tim."

She always remained with the family, and at her death was
supposed to be nearly 100 years old. Provision was made for
her support by Mr. Coburn, who appreciated her devotion to
the family. Naturally, her reasoning powers were limited. When
quite old and unable to work, the daughters of the family were
one day preparing to weave some checked cloth for aprons.
Dinah requested them to weave some for her. Upon inquiry
as to the use she could make of it, she said she wanted it to use
when she picked beans. "But where," they said, "will you pick
beans?" "In Heaven," she answered. At another time she was
seen sticking pine needles in the ground, giving as a reason, that
they would grow and be pine trees. Upon Mr. Coburn's telling
her they would not grow, she said, "Have faith, sonny, have faith." 
-page 29

Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Colburn/Coburn  privately printed by Walter
Coburn, Lowell, Ma. 1913.


I checked the death records for Dracut, Dunstable, Chelmsford, and Tyngsboro. I discovered Dinah Coburn listed among the Negroes in Tyngsboro and that she died on 14Mar, 1819. 

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 32: CALEB COBURN PT4

I had discovered two names for Caleb Coburn's wife in the Land Sale documents: Martha and
Patty. I believe they are the same woman since Patty was a nickname for Martha in colonial
times. But even if they were two different women, I'm fairly certain that Martha was the mother
of Caleb's son, my 4x great grandfather Moses Coburn. When Moses filed for a Revolutionary
War Pension in 1818, he gave his age as 53, which means he was born around 1765. If "Patty "
was a second wife she had married Caleb far too late to be Moses' mother.

The other reason I believe Martha was the name of Caleb's wife is this entry in the Coburn genealogy
for his son Moses' family:

P99 Genealogy of the descendants of Edward Colburn/Coburn

Looking at it, I believe you can see the naming pattern: two children named for Esther's
parents Lot Spaulding and Esther Butterfield, and two named for Caleb's parents Caleb
and Martha.

There still remains the question of Martha's maiden name. Could the answer be found in
who Caleb's siblings married? Older brother Moses married Elizabeth Peabody and then
Hannah Burpee; younger brother Abiel married Mary Butterfield, another link to the Butterfield
family; and sister Deborah married William Frye. I need to do further research on whether Caleb's
other sisters ever married. Hopefully I can find a link between Martha and Caleb's in-laws.

But for the moment, at least I'm fairly certain Caleb's wife was named Martha!

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 32: CALEB COBURN PT3

Continuing my search for the name of Caleb Coburn's wife in the Middlesex Deed index (grantor) 1800-1835 A-G file at FamilySearch:

The second, later land sale made by Caleb was to a M. B. Colburn who is named in the sale as Moses Broadstreet Colburn. This was not Caleb's brother, who had moved to New Brunswick in the late 18th century, but another relative. The land sale is on two pages and starts on the bottom right on this image:  

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-36164-13038-57?cc=2106411&wc=MC1M-PT5:361613501,364639201 : accessed 4 September 2015), Middlesex > Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 > image 749 of 821; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

It continues on the upper left hand side of this image:

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-36164-13137-59?cc=2106411&wc=MC1M-PT5:361613501,364639201 : accessed 4 September 2015), Middlesex > Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 > image 750 of 821; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

Examining the document I noticed that it had originally been drawn up on 6May 1803 but
was not filed at the county courthouse until nearly 8 years later. Was this a case of Caleb
selling the land to Moses B Coburn on condition he  be allowed to live there until his death?

And of course. I looked to see if Caleb's wife had signed off on the sale:

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-36164-13137-59?cc=2106411&wc=MC1M-PT5:361613501,364639201 : accessed 4 September 2015), Middlesex > Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 > image 750 of 821; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

So in 1803 Caleb's wife was named Martha, but in 1810 her name is Patty? While it's possible
they could be two different women, it's more likely they are the same person. "Patty" was
a nickname for Martha in colonial times, as readers Kat and Linda Shufflebean pointed out in
comments to the previous post.

There's another reason I believe Martha was the wife of Caleb Coburn and mother to Moses
Coburn. I'll discuss that in the next post of the series.

To be continued

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 32: CALEB COBURN PT2

One of the brick walls on my family mtree is the identity of Caleb coburn's wife. I can find no record
of the marriage in any of the towns near Dracut nor Dunstable. Was it possible Caleb's wife came
from New Hampshire, across the Merrimack River that his property bordered?

Last week after I finished the posts about his father Moses I decided to take another shot at finding the name of Caleb's wife, this time using a different set of records. I went to the Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986 Collection over at FamilySearch and searched the records for Middlesex County. In many land transactions, the name of the grantor(seller)'s wife is sometimes mentioned.  I found only two transactions involving Caleb Coburn in the Middlesex Deed index (grantor) 1800-1835 A-G file. Both of them took place around the time of his death:

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-36097-14158-22?cc=2106411&wc=MCBY-PWL:361613501,363562301 : accessed 3 September 2015), Middlesex > Deed index (grantor) 1800-1835 A-G > image 313 of 655; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

The first sale was to a "R.Coburn" on 20Nov 1810, the second to M.B. Coburn on  3Apr 1811.
Caleb had died on 17Dec 1810.

"Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-36097-14158-22?cc=2106411&wc=MCBY-PWL:361613501,363562301 : accessed 3 September 2015), Middlesex > Deed index (grantor) 1800-1835 A-G > image 313 of 655; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

Luckily both land sales were in the same book, Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 and I found them
both. after a fifteen minute search This is the first:

Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-36164-11837-73?cc=2106411&wc=MC1M-PT5:361613501,364639201 : accessed 4 September 2015), Middlesex > Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 > image 494 of 821; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

I noticed that the sale had taken place in Tyngsborough on 1Nov but was received by the
court in Cambridge on 20Nov. Down near the end of the document Caleb's wife Patty is named.

Massachusetts Land Records, 1620-1986," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-36164-11837-73?cc=2106411&wc=MC1M-PT5:361613501,364639201 : accessed 4 September 2015), Middlesex > Deeds 1810-1811 vol 188-190 > image 494 of 821; county courthouses and offices, Massachusetts.

So, My 5x great grandmother's name was Patty, probably short for Patricia.

Or was it?

I now examined the later, second land sale.I'll discuss what I found in the next post in the series.

52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 32: CALEB COBURN PT1

The three posts about the TChart I did for Caleb Coburn contain all I had known about my
5x great grandfather up until last week. For his installment of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
challenge, I'm going to discuss what I discovered about him since then.

I'll start with another document I found in the Middlesex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1648-1871 collection on the AmericanAncestors website. It's a petition from Caleb and his two younger siblings,  Mary and Abiel, asking the Court to appoint a Timothy Coburn as their guardian:

Middlesex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1648-1871.Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014. (From records supplied by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Archives.)

This raised a few questions for me. Why didn't they want their stepfather Edward Coburn as a guardian? From what I have found, he didn't die until 1771. I haven't found a date of death for their mother Deborah (Wright) Coburn yet so it's possible that she had died.Had the relations between Edward and his three youngest stepchildren suffered if that were the case?

Then there is the puzzle as to why Caleb and the others had chosen Timothy Coburn. I can find only one family member living at that time in Dracut named Timothy and he was a second or third cousin. According to the Coburn genealogy he was a prominent citizen and there was a "Negress" working for him who was the subject of several family stories. (I'll go into those in another post.) 

The family dynamics behind the petition will probably always be a mystery. At any rate, the petition was granted by the court. Notice that on the second document, a Moses Coburn had signed as well as  Timothy, and not Edward. Had older brother Moses Coburn been acting as guardian for Caleb and the others?

Middlesex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1648-1871.Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014. (From records supplied by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Archives.)

Next, I'll discuss some land records that might hold a clue as to the identity of Caleb Coburn's
wife.

To be continued.
