51        Anyone who is interested in this Adams Family line to Reginald G. Adams (Son of Ira Adams) and Nedra Brewer should consult, Charlotte Schmidt at 16175 Cathy Loop, Peyton, CO 80831 or at Charlottesch@aol.com. Her book on this Adams family is entitled: SOME DESCENDANTS OF JESSE ADAMS, 1789-1844. There are pictures and other documents in this book that would be of extreme interest.

52        At the point of entering information on Ebenezer Pierce (03/09/04), there is little known about Ebenezer Pierce. As usual in checking Ancestry.com, there is a lot of doubtful information or unconfirmed information relating to Ebenezer. Some reports suggest that he married a second time, a Mary Tilton; another indicated that his death was in 1766 in Attleboro, MA; there was even a first name, Elizabeth, given of his first wife. But none of this has been substantiated, at least by me. There are some leads, however. One of them is the records of the Second Congregational Church in Attleboro.
       The records of the Second Congregational Church in Attleboro [EBP 06] confirm, as stated in F.C. Pierce [EBP 04], that an Ebenezer Pierce was a member of this church. This membership was recorded as part of a group of "Members in full Communion." He is listed with "Benjamen Peirce, Ebenezer Peirce Jun, and Elizabeth Peirce, Deceased." It is not clear from the text when membership was granted. Thus, I have used the phrase, "after 1743" for that is when the church was established. While I have searched several town vital records, I have not been able to find a death date for Ebenezer, nor have I been able to find the name of his first wife, her birthplace, birth date, date of marriage, or date and place of death. The association with other Pierces in the record leads me to believe that this Ebenezer Pierce is the Ebenezer Pierce in this Pierce line, although there remains some doubt because no other records have been found in Attleboro.
       F.C. Pierce [EBP 04] says: "Ebenezer Pierce was born in Scituate, Mass., but moved to Attleboro, where he was a member of the Second Congregational Church in 1749. Attleboro was first settled in 1669 by John Woodcock, his house was the garrison and licensed in 1670. Many of the first settlers were from Rehoboth and Scituate, Mass. The town was originally called the "North Purchase," and incorporated in 1694." F.C. Pierce indicates two children: Benjamin and Ebenezer.
       In 1751, Ebenezer is received with his son, Benjamin, and Benjamin's wife, Elizabeth in the records of the First Church of Scituate, Massachusetts, according to a compilation of First Church Records, published in the 1909 volume (11, p. 141) of The Mayflower Descendant. [EBP 07.]
       In Wakefield, Robert S., Janice Beebe, et. al. (1991). Richard Warren of the Mayflower and his Descendants for Four Generations. Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, I did find reference to the marriage of Ruth Tilden and Ebenezer Pierce in 1752. There were no off-spring listed. [RT 02.] According to this same document, there are "No Plymouth Co. PR for Ebenezer Pierce." [RT 02.]

53        At this point (2005), I hypothesize that John Drought is the husband of Lucretia Stanley. The evidence is circumstantial, yet plausible. From the 1856 Iowa State Census, I know that Lucretia is living with her mother; she has the last name of Drought; and she has a small daughter by the name of Sophia Drought. Drought as a last name is certain. In a 100th Anniversary Souvenir Program of the Methodist church, Webster City, Iowa, there is a sentence (page 2):
       "The first formal religious ceremony was a wedding solemnized in 1850 by Rev. Thompson Bird of Des Moines between a soldier from the barracks at Fort Dodge and Lucretia Stanley, a niece of the Brewers. Her father, "Uncle Billy Stanley, was probably a Methodist Exhorter." [JD 02.]
       It was my assumption, the Drought male being a soldier, that he must be in the 1850 U. S. Federal Census. And, that is where I found a John Drought, a soldier in a garrison, stationed in Boone County, Iowa. He was a 24 year old, white, male born in Ireland. [JD 01.] Unfortunately, I have not been able to find him elsewhere; nor have I been able to locate Lucretia Stanley Drought. I hypothesize that John Drought is the husband of Lucretia Stanley Drought and the father of Sophia Drought. [DLL.] This hypothesis is correct and there is now more information about John Drought, but it is still incomplete.
       In the 1852 Iowa State Census, John Drought appears in the Polk County, Cass Township Census with one other person, a female. It is my assumption that this female is his wife, Lucretia Stanley. In the census record there is an indication of an alien. It could be that John Drought is not a citizen of the U. S.

54        August C. Dehnke was married twice. In this compilation, I am only dealing with the marriage with Louise Sophie Rosentreter. Thus, the children from his first marriage will not be reported in this compilation, probably because they have less to do with the context of Linda M. Dehnke than anything else. [DLL.]
       In the 1905 Wisconsin State Census, August C. Dehnke is a 46 year old, white, married male. He was born in Germany of parents who were both born in Germany. His occupation is that of farmer who is occupied 12 months during the year in that kind of work.. He owns his farm free and clear. August lives with his wife, Sophia and nine children: Linda, Adolph, August, Frieda, Sophia Ervin, and Margret Dehnke. The family lives in the town of Lincoln, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin. [DA 01.]
       In the 1900 U. S. Federal Census, August C. Dehnke is a 41 year old, white, married male. He was born in Germany in August of 1858 of parents who were also both born in Germany. He is in a second marriage for 9 years. He immigrated to the United States in 1868. His occupation is that of farmer. He has not been unemployed. He reads, writes, and speaks English. He owns his home free and clear of any mortgage. August lives with his second wife, Sophia, and five children from the second marriage: Linda, Adolph, August, Frieda, Sophia. The family lives in Lincoln Township, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin. [DA 05.]
       In the 1910 U. S. Federal Census, August C. Dehnke is a 51 year old, white, married female. He is in his second marriage. He is in the 20th year in his second marriage. He was born in Germany of parents who were both born in Germany. His native language is German. He immigrated to the United States in 1868 and is a naturalized citizen. August speaks, reads, and writes English. He owns his own farm free and clear. August lives with his wife, Louise Sophia, and eight children for his second marriage: Linda, Adolph, August, Frieda, Sophia, Irving, Margaret, Gertrude. The family lives in Lincoln Township, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin. [DA 04.]

55        BOY BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY
       The Fifteen Year Old Lad Charged with Assault with Criminal Intent Is Held
       PARENTS FURNISH $500 BOND
       Crime Alleged to Have Been Committed on Little Eleven Year Old Jessie Ahrens
       Justice Hyatt this morning bound Frank Brewer over to await the action of the grand jury which meets May 1st, upon the charge of assault with criminal intent. The young man is but fifteen years of age. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roll Brewer of this city. The charge against him was preferred by Gus Ahrens, who charges that the crime was committed upon the person of his eleven year old daughter. Young Brewer's bond was fixed at $500, which was furnished by his parents.
The preliminary hearing was help before Justice Hyatt yesterday afternoon and concluded last evening. The decision, however, was withheld until this morning. Since the young man is not age a conviction upon the charge, serious though it is, can mean nothing more than a sentence to the reform school.
       It is alleged that the crime was committed last Tuesday afternoon. Jessie Ahrens, in company with a little Sweazey girl, was out in the woods picking flowers. They were back of the Brewer home in the west end of the city near the river. Frank Brewer, in company with an O'Rourke and a Butler boy, was also in the woods. It is charged that young Brewer chased the little Ahrens girl, caught her and threw her to the ground. It is then charged that he put his hand over her mouth, but was unable to check her terrifying screams. She finally broke away and upon reading home told her parents of the occurrence. The latter swore out an information against Brewer.
       So far as known the Brewer Boy has never before shown signs of viciousness and in school has always been considered rather bright for the chance that has been given him. His parents are poor and the lad has had to shift for himself a good deal. Like all boys under those conditions he has been a little wild. The seriousness of the charge now pending against him, however, is a surprise to his family. While the preliminary hearing developed very thorough investigation of the matter, the grand jury will go further into it. [FB 02.]
       In the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, Frank Brewer is a nine year old, single, white male. He was born in Iowa of parents who were born in Indiana (father) and Iowa (mother). He was born in September of 1890. In the home, there is also a boarder by the name of George Bonebright. [BRB 16.]

       In the 1930 U.S. Federal Census, Frank Brewer is head of a family of four, including himself. With him are his wife Gladys M. (Jameson), a daughter, Ellen, and a son, Herbert. In the household is also Ruth Vielgomott, a widowed 65 year old, female who is the servant in the household. [Ruth was born in Illinois of parents who were born in Illinois (father) and Ohio (mother). She is competent in English.] Frank owns the home in which the family lives. The home is valued at $1,500. Frank is a white, married male; he is 40 years old and was first married at 31. He is not attending school, but can read, write, and speak English.

56        By 1905, the Robert Lange family had moved from South Dakota to Wisconsin. It is my conjecture [DLL] that after marriage in Wisconsin, Emilie and Robert went to South Dakota to establish a homestead. When they had met homestead criteria, they probably sold the farm, moved back to Wisconsin, and bought a farm in Cleveland Township, Jackson County, Wisconsin. This conjecture will need proof. Family: Robert M. Lange / Emilie Albertine Zech (F5)
 
57        Donald W. Schlegelmilch, Sr., was a meat cutter. Dale Lange remembers that Don worked at Piggly Wiggly Stores in Eau Claire. Dale also remember that he was visiting Don and Loris in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and was present on the day that Don received his notice to go into the Army in World War II. He must have enlisted. During WW II, Loris and Don, Jr., went back to live on the farm with Art and Alma until the war was over and Don, Sr., returned. Then, this family moved back to Eau Claire, Wisconsin area to live.

61        Elizabeth was a lowlander [MS 01.]
       In the 1920 U. S. Federal Census, Elizabeth Wilson Stuart is a 27 year old, white, married female. The record is somewhat strange in relation to other census records. She speaks, reads and writes English. However, her birth and parentage do not square with the reality of other records. She was born in Scotland, not in Nebraska; and her father was not born in Iowa, nor her mother in Nebraska; they were both born in Scotland. I do not know why these falsehoods were allowed. However, Elizabeth does not have an employ outside the home. She does live with her husband, James, and three daughters: Margaret, Nora, and Kate. The family lives at 8112 State Street, Omaha, Ward 12, Douglas County, Nebraska. [SJG 03.]

       In the 1930 U. S. Federal Census, Elizabeth Wilson Stuart is a 38 year old, white, married female. She was first married when she was 20 years old. She lives on a farm. She is not in school or college at the present time; however, she does have a university degree. She reads, writes, and speaks English. Elizabeth was born in Scotland of parents who themselves were both born in Scotland. And She spoke Scotch prior to coming to the United States. Elizabeth immigrated to the U.S. in 1916 and papers have been submitted. She has no employ outside the home. Elizabeth lives with her husband James and three children: Margaret, Nora, and James D. The family lives in Crescent Township, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. [SJG 02.]
       In the 1940 U. S. Federal Census, Elizabeth Wilson Stuart is a 47 year old, white, married female. She is not in school or college, but has finished three years of college. She was born in Scotland, and is considered an alien. She living in the same house in which she lived in 1935. Elizabeth lives on a farm. She has no employ outside the home and is thus a homemaker. Elizabeth lives with her husband, Jame G., and a son, James D. Stuart. The family lives in Crescent Township, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. [SJG 04.]

62        Ellen E. is the probably same person as Ellen O'Rourke that is mentioned in BRB 07. She is found in the 1910 Census as Ellen E. and has been married to BRB for 22 years. This information fits with BRB 06, a marriage license. In this same census, there is a Peter E. O Rourke that lives as a neighbor. This person could be a brother to Ellen, but I have not been able to establish that fact by means of perusing census records with a variety of names: Ellen, Nellie, Nellie Conlin, Ellen E., Ellen C.,etc. I did find a Patrick O Rourke in Iowa City, Iowa in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census. An Ellen is listed as being 4/12ths year old. It is not clear that this is the Ellen, wife of Benjamin R. Brewer in 1910, but it could be.
       Ellen or Nellie with the last name of Conlin could have been previously married, but I have not found anything in census records to show that. [DLL]

68        F. C. Pierce is not correct in indicating the lineage of Simeon Pierce. It is Michael-1, Benjamin-2, Ebenezer-3, Benjamin-4, Benjamin-5. (F. C. Pierce has Michael-1, Ebenezer-2, Ebenezer-3, Benjamin-4, Benjamin-5) - DLL
       In the 1840 U. S. Federal Census, Simeon Pierce is listed as head of his family. He lives with his family in Windham Township, Windham County, Vermont. He lives with one male under five years of age. It is my assumption that he is the male between 30 and 40 years of age. Also in the family are two females under the age of five; one female between 20 and 30, probably his wife, Dorcus, and a woman between the ages of 50 and 60. It is not clear who this person could be. [SP 02.]
       In the 1850 U. S. Federal Census, Simeon Pierce, the head of household, is a 47 year old white, married male. He is married to Dorcus Andrews. He is a farmer whose real estate is valued at $3,000. He was born in Vermont of parents who were both born in Massachusetts. He lives in Windham, Windham County, Vermont, with his wife, Dorcus, four children (Jerome W. Martha A., Ella C., Margaret), and what appears to be the parents of Dorcus, Nathan and Abigal Andrews. [SP 03.]
       In the 1860 U. S. Federal Census, Simeon Pierce, head of household, is a 59 year old, white, married male. He is married to Dorcus Andrews. He is a farmer, born in Vermont. He owns real estate with a value of $3000 and a personal estate of $1,535. He lives in Windham, Windham County, Vermont with his wife, Dorcus, three children (Jerome, Margarette, Ella), and his father-in-law, Nathan Andrews. [SP 04.]
       In the 1870 U. S. Federal Census, Simeon Pierce is a 67 year old, white, married male. He is married to Dorcus Andrews.

He lives with his wife, Dorcus, in Windham, Windham County, Vermont. [SP 05.] 
Pierce, Simeon (I870)
 
69        F.C. Pierce (BP 01) states that Benjamin was born in Westmoreland, NH. H.C. Pierce (BP 03) suggests that he was born, although not specifically stated, in Westmoreland, New Hampshire. The genealogy found in the History of Westmoreland (BP 02) does not state a birthplace. However, I have found that he was actually born in Medford, MA or at least the birth reported and recorded in Medford, MA [BP 04]. Thus, Benjamin's birthplace is disputed and, from the Medford, Massachusetts records, his birthplace is assumed to be Medford, Massachusetts, not Westmoreland, NH.
       Benjamin did live in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, moving there with his father, Benjamin and his mother, Elizabeth Dryer. It is from Westmoreland, NH that Benjamin enlisted as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Dale L. Lange has the Revolutionary War Pension Application that his wife, Lucinda, applied for after Benjamin had died in 1847. The Pension Application was made 1855 in Lucinda's 86th Year. Ezra Pierce, a nephew and Justice of the Peace in Windham, signed affidavits for this application in Windham, VT. [BP 09.] Timothy Burton, a son-in-law of the Benjamin Pierce, also signed papers as a Justice of the Peace. The hearings were held to establish the eligibility of Benjamin and thus Lucinda for the pension and/or bounty land. Testimony as to his service was provided by a number of people: Lucinda in 1855 for the application itself; J. Daniel Whitman, son of Abial Whitman - the latter a close friend of Benjamin and compatriot; Clark Chapman, a boarder at Benjamin and Lucinda's home; Simeon Pierce, a son of Benjamin and Lucinda; Benjamin M. Pierce, another son of Benjamin and Lucinda; Timothy Burton, a son-in-law of Benjamin and Lucinda Pierce. The file and these attestations indicate the following:
1. Lucinda and Benjamin were married on February 19th, 1789 [BP 10 & LC 01];
2. All of those who provided testimony gave support to the application for a pension or bounty lands by testifying about Benjamin's service and the officers with whom he served;
3. He enlisted when he was sixteen years of age;
4. He served under Capt. John Cole, Col. Nichols, Col. Ashby
5. He was at the Battle of Bennington; saw service in Rhode Island; and was at West Point, where he was exchanged for a guinea.
6. Clark Chapman, Simeon Pierce stated that Benjamin did not himself apply for a pension.
From Simeon Pierce: "Father told Mr. White he thought it doubtful if he could prove time enough to make out the time require and as he did not need the pension he should not take the trouble to attempt to get it - that he could not get it unless he took the oath that he was poor - and that he could not, nor would he ever take an oath that he was in need of it - though in justness he ought to have the pension. Judge white told him he thought, from his statement, he was in service long enough to entitle him to the pension, but father would not confess his poverty so as to come within the provisions of the act [of 1844].
From Clark Chapman: "I asked him why he did not have a pension. He said he ought to draw a pension, but could not make oath that he was poor and needed it, for he could not, nor would he put his property out of his hands for the sake of a pension. He could live without it, and besides he never was out at any one time long enough, he did not think. And as he had property enough for his comfort without he should not trouble himself about it though he was entitled to it just as much as any of the old soldiers if they would reckon his time from the day he enlisted till his return to N.H."
7. Lucinda's statement of 1857, as contained in BP 09, indicates that he may have born in Mystic, Massachusetts, but that from other records, we know that he was born in Medford, Massachusetts.
8. Lucinda also states in the same affidavit that "he [Benjamin], with his parents, removed to said Westmoreland [NH] when he was about three years old, that from that time till his intermarriage with he, he resided at said Westmoreland most, though not all of the time perhaps..."
9. Continuing, Lucinda states: "In the year 1789, after his said intermarriage, he removed to Windham, Vermont and from that time till his decease, he resides at said Windham.
10. There was agreement among the testaments that Benjamin was at the Battle of Bennington, Vermont.
11. The death of Benjamin Pierce took place on 23 May 1847.
12. The pension application documents indicate that this Benjamin Pierce was involved with the Continental Army from 1777-1781 in a number of places.
The application for pension was denied, 3 September 1857 in spite of indications from State of New Hampshire records that he had served sufficient time to warrant a pension.
       In 1789 [See 1857 affidavit of Lucinda Pierce in BP 09], after Lucinda Cobb and Benjamin married, they moved from Westmoreland to Windham, VT. In the Gazetteer and Business Directory of Windham County, VT., 1784-1884, there is the following:
"Benjamin Pierce, from Westmoreland, N.H., came to Windham, about 1783 [should read 1789], in company with Abial Whitman, and both located in the southeastern part of the town. Mr. Pierce made his pitch and erected a log-house on road 37. In 1789 he married Lucinda Cobb of Westmoreland, N.H. His life was spent here where he reared a family of nine children, only two of whom are now living -- Nathan, aged eighty-three years, in West Townshend, and Benjamin M., who owns the old homestead, on road 28 in this town, aged seventy four. Benjamin was a justice of the peace for many years and several times represented his town in the State legislature. He was captain of the militia company, and a member of the Baptist church. He died at the age of eighty-six years." [BP 06.]
       In the Vermont Historical Gazetteer [BP 11], the following paragraph is stated:
       "Benjamin Pierce represented the town the next 6 years (either 1818-1820 or 1827-1830, it is not clear from the previous statement) and was appointed justice of the peace. He settled in this town in 1782 (actually 1789 after his marriage to Lucinda Cobb), from Westmoreland, N.H. His settlement was in the southeast part of the town. Abial Whitman came about the same time and settled near him. Mr. Pierce also represented the town three years after the next representative." [It is not clear what three years this representation took place.]
       Finding the Vermont State Archives on the Internet, a request was forwarded to Christie Carter of the Vermont State Archives. Her response clarifies Benjamin Pierce's service in the Vermont State Legislature: "Benjamin Pierce was a Representative from Windham in 1819-20-21-22-23-24 and 1826-27. He was born in 1761 and died in 1847. One piece of information I was able to find is that he was appointed a member of the Committee on the arrival of Lafayette in October 1824. The House Journal, for the years he was legislator, may have more information on what committees he sat on a what bills he supported, but the indexes are very sketchy. If you ever come to Vermont, you can page through the Journals." [BP 12.]
       With the U.S. Census Records for 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1850, I have made the assumption that the Benjamin Pierce, whose records I am citing, is the Benjamin Pierce of Windham, VT. I make that assumption because there are other Benjamin Pierces in other towns of Windham County. I am locating this Benjamin Pierce in Windham, VT, because he is close to Abial Whitman in some of the census, but not all. Although he died in 1847, his wife, Lucinda, lived with a son, Benjamin M. Pierce, probably until she died in 1858. [See LC 05.]
       In the 1790 U.S. Census [BP 07], Benjamin Pierce and Nehemiah are located next to each other probably because the list is organized alphabetically. It is my understanding that Nehemiah was ill from injuries or sickness during the Revolutionary War and lived with Benjamin for a while after the move from Westmoreland, NH, until his illness and injuries improved.
       The 1800 U.S. Census shows Benjamin as head of household in Windham, VT, again in an alphabetized list. It shows two white males under 10 years of age (probably Alson and Benjamin), two white females under the age of 10 (probably Mary and Sarah), and one white female between 10 and 15 (probably Zilphia). The two parents are listed between 28-44 years of age (Benjamin and Lucinda). One person in the household is between 16 and 28. This person could be extra help for the family.
       There is an 1810 U.S. Census that is not included here. It deals with a Benjamin Pierce in Halifax of Windham County, but has too many children to be this Benjamin Pierce.
       In the 1820 U.S. census, there is one free, white male of age 10-16, one free, white male 16-18 years, two free white males of between 18 and 26, Benjamin, a free, white male of 45 or older as head of household. There is one free, white female between 10 and 16, one free white female between 16 and 26, and one free, white female 45 and older. Two individuals in the family are involved in agriculture, most likely Benjamin and Lucinda.
       There are four people in the 1830 U.S. Census, one free, white male and one free, white female between the ages of 60 and 70 and one free, white male and one free, white female between 20 and 30 years of age. The assumption here is that the older couple are Benjamin and Lucinda. It is not clear who the other couple is.
       Because Benjamin dies in 1847, the last U.S. Census in which he is found is that for 1840. In this census, there are a free, white male and female of the age between 70 and 80, as well as another free, white male and female between the ages of 40 and 50; one other person completes the household, a free, white male between 30 and 40. The couple between 70 and 80 are assumed to be Benjamin and Lucinda. It is not possible to ascertain specifically who the other three individuals are.

73        From Brewer, Warren H. (1935). History of Brewer Family of North Carolina, etc., p. 13: "The 1830 Census, page 30 for Randolph County, Indiana, shows Wm. Stanley, age 40 to 50, with three male children under 5 and wife, age 40 to 50. William Stanley was a witness to a deed of Nathan Brewer to his father, Thomas, executed Jan. 27, 1831. [NB 02.] [See also WS 02.]
In the 1850 U. S. Federal Census, William Standley is a 45 year old male, a farmer from Virginia who can read and write. Living with him are his wife, Nancy and his children: Thomas, Lucretia, Joanna, Joseph, Perry, and John Standley. The family lives in Howard Township, Howard County, Indiana. [WS 04.]
       From Lee, History of Hamilton County, Iowa, p. 31:
       "In the fall of 1850 Wilson Brewer and family, and a nephew, William Brewer, and William Stanley and family arrived and settled near Bone's Mill about six miles south of Webster City...
       Mr. Stanley located his claim a short distance up the river from the mill site. He built his house on the east side of the river and cleared a truck patch on the west side. Being a hunter and trapper, he made no other improvements. The site of his cabin is still plainly to be seen, the land being now owned by county clerk, J. C. Sterling. After occupying this claim about a year, Stanley sold it to Peter Lyon and it was occupied by his brother, Isaac Lyon, and his family for some time. Shortly after the sale of his claim Mr. Stanley died and his family moved north of Webster City and took up another claim. William Stanley was the first white person to die within the present limits of Hamilton county. His death occurred in the fall of 1851."
However, this date could be inaccurate because probate papers were not filed until December 23, 1853, appointing Wilson Brewer the administrator for the estate of WS. Another date of October 15, 1853 is also found in these papers, but it is difficult to know what this date means. [WS 04.]

80        I am having great difficulty sorting out the wives of Benjamin Pierce with the name Elizabeth. It appears according to First Congregational Church Records in Atteboro that an Elizabeth Pierce, wife of Benjamin Pierce died or was buried 30 November 1743. [EBP 06.] There is also an Elizabeth who joined the First Church in Scituate with him in 1751. Finally, there is the Elizabeth Pierce that was born in 1717 and died in 1772 in Westmoreland, NH [E 03]. Question is, who are these individuals? Or has some mistake been made in recording the Elizabeths with Benjamin and Ebenezer Pierce either in Attleboro or in Scituate?
       I have not yet found the actual birth date for this Benjamin Pierce. Neither the F.C. Pierce or the H.C. Pierce genealogies [BPeb 01 and 02] offer a birth date. F.C. Pierce indicates that either Scituate or Attleboro could be the birth place. Only the History of Westmoreland, NH [BPeb 03], suggests ca.1713, but no explanation is given for that date. I have searched the Vital Records for Scituate, Attleboro, Rehoboth, but have not found any corroboration for the 1713 birth date.
       All three sources [BPeb 01, 02, 03] agree on the date of death although I have not been able to find an official record. In fact, the state of New Hampshire has returned an application for a death certificate with a certificate indicating that a record cannot be found. [BPeb 04.]
       It is possible to conclude from the birth records of both Benjamin, Jr., the son of this Benjamin [BP 04], and Nehemiah, another son [NP 10], that Benjamin and Elizabeth Dryer, must have spent the time from 1759-1761 in or near Medford, MA, prior to removal to Westmoreland, VT because both Benjamin Jr. and Nehemiah were born in Medford, MA.
       According to the History of Westmoreland, NH [BPeb 03, 518], Benjamin "seems to have been a person of some importance as [his] name occurs often in early records."
       From the Introduction to the Carter and Shepard, (1924) Membership and Vital Records of the Second Congregational Church of Attleboro, Massachusetts, I take a couple of paragraphs:
"The town of Attleboro (originally called Attleborough) was organized in 1694 from the "North Purchase" of Rehoboth. In 1830, part of the town was annexed to Wrentham. In 1887, the town was divided and the northern part thereof was established as the town of North Attleborough. In 1914, Attleborough was incorporated as a city, at which time the name was changed to its present form, Attleboro. The town is in Bristol County."
       "The Second Congregational Church was set off from the First Church on April 7, 1743, being called originally the East Parish or East Precinct of Attleborough. Rev. Peter Thacher preached there from August 20, 1743, but was not finally settled and ordained until November 30, 1748. He continued as pastor until October 26, 1784..."
The records of the Second Congregational Church in Attleboro [EBP 06] confirm, as stated in F.C. Pierce [EBP 04], that an Ebenezer Pierce was a member of this church. This membership was recorded as part of a group of "Members in full Communion." He is listed with "Benjamen Peirce, Ebenezer Peirce Jun, and Elizabeth Peirce, Deceased."
       In 1751, Benjamin Pierce, and Benjamin's wife, Elizabeth, were admitted into the First Church of Scituate, Massachusetts, according to the Records of the First Church of Scituate, published in The Mayflower Descendant 11 (1909): 141. [EBP 07.]
       I have not found the maiden surname of Benjamin's wife, Elizabeth. In the Ancestry.com lines, some indicate that Benjamin's wife is Elizabeth Darby. I hypothesize that Benjamin's brother, Ebenezer, is the husband of Elizabeth Darby. Yet, there are many suggestions on the Internet (Ancestry.com) that Elizabeth Dryer is also the wife of Benjamin. I wish to hypothesize that a marriage relationship between Benjamin Pierce of Rehoboth and Westmoreland, NH may not have existed. In the Vital Records of Rehoboth, p. 448, an intention of marriage is listed: "Dryer, Elizabeth of Rehoboth and Benjamin Peirce of Voluntown, CT., Nov. 19, 1743." Although I do not know that the Benjamin Pierce of this line did not live in Voluntown, CT, I am making the assumption for the moment that he did not. If such is the case, then Elizabeth Dryer is not the wife of this Benjamin Pierce. The maiden surname of his wife Elizabeth remains unknown.
       The above notes have been superceded by what is found under Elizabeth Dryer whom I now believe is the first wife of this Benjamin Pierce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I leave them here as part of the search process that I have gone through.

83        In Fletchall, Mrs. Charles B., "Smith, Isaac Family," The History of Hamilton County: 1985. Dallas: Curtis Media, 1986 [NAB 01], the following is written about Nedra Brewer. "Nedra, graduated from Lincoln High School in 1926, married Reginald Adams, also of Webster City, who worked for the Railway Express Agency until retirement. Nedra, a skilled weaver and teacher of hand crafts and Reginald are presently enjoying a busy retirement in Sister Bay, Wisconsin."

We moved from Decorah - Cedar Rapids - Des Moines - Fort Dodge (all in Iowa) - Rockford - Evanston, Illinois - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, retiring in September 01, 1971. I always moved with him of course and worked on city playgrounds as arts and crafts director. Or, when we moved to Evanston, Illinois, I worked with senior citizens at the centers for the elderly and also took classes at Chicago Art Center in weaving and pottery design.
Reginald drew the design for the house we built on the shore of Lake Michigan. We lived there 10 years and realized Reg was losing his eyesight due to diabetes.

       "Isaac [Smith] became a stage coach driver, going from Cedar Falls to Fort Dodge by way of Lakins Grove, Homer, Webster City, and on to Fort Dodge. The stories he told usually ended the same way. One day he went to the hotel to see his mother Sarah, who was a cook there, and he met the new maid, Maila Rhoda Churchill. Maila had left Three Rivers, Michigan to visit her brother in Cedar Falls, but hearing of work at the hotel in Webster City came there. Maila and Isaac were married, lived for two years in a log cabin in Briggs Woods while Isaac worked the farm some three miles east of the woods. After the house was built on the farm, they moved and had three daughters, Emma being the youngest.
       Edward and Emma were married in 1900 and had two children, Nedra and Clair. They lived most of their lives on the farm, purchasing it and other adjoining land from Isaac Smith. Edward died in 1936 and Emma in 1956." [EWB 05.]

90        In B&AP 02, Arloa writes about earthquakes, mainly: We moved to Reseda in the San Fernando Valley in 1951. We're long time, active members of the St. James Presbyterian Church, Tarzana, where the Sanctuary was totally destroyed in the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake. We wouldn't be here today if we had been in there 14 hours earlier. By the Grace of God, it was Martin Luther Ling's Holiday, 4:30 a.m. and a school holiday. the whole ceiling structure collapsed 6 feet deep onto the pews. It was quite a financial struggle, but with prayer, fund raisers & twisting the arm of our congressman, we finished building our beautiful new sanctuary last year [1999].
       Our daughter Carolyn's apartment in Granada Hills was also destroyed, but thanks be to God, she escaped unharmed and came to stay with us for a month until she found another apartment in North Hollywood. Her John F. Kennedy High School was one of the most seriously damaged in the valley and she lost all her lesson plans and teaching materials and had to start again from scratch in a temporary bungalow. Her building was finally rebuilt last year after five years [1999].
Although it was named the Northridge Earthquake," the epicenter was actually just a few blocks north of us on Wilbur Ave., Reseda.
       My family survived the strong Long Beach Quake when I was just 7 years old - we felt it violently way up in Los Angeles where we lived.
       We had a bad one in 1952, another in 1972, but the Northridge one was the worst!! It was terrifying and such violent, vertical shaking, we couldn't get out of bed nd thought our house was going to collapse on us. It was still dark, electricity went off (for four days), pictures and furniture falling. We had some stucco repaired on the outside, but not many of the cracks on inside walls yet, because the house is still settling.
It might be of interest to you that I'm [Arloa] a second generation Californian, born in Sacramento. (my Dad was born in LA). On my mother's side, I'm the 11th generation direct descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrims John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, who landed at Plymouth, December 11, 1620. (From Elizabeth, the first of their 11 children.) We're so grateful to my great grandfather George Elliott Redfield (b. December 09, 1832, d. April 04, 1918) for researching all this genealogy and even further back to England and France."
       In B&AP 04, Arloa writes: "I can relate to joining our Valley Master Choral in 1975 founded by Bill Lee, our church choir director at the time, and a well-known studio singer and contractor for movies, Disney, etc. He dubbed in the beautiful voice for Christopher Plummer in "Sound of Music" and also Lieutenant Cable in "Sound Pacific" - but didn't get screen credit. It was such a wonderful experience. We did not only show tunes, but classics such as "Braham's Requiem," "Messiah," "Elijah," etc. He was also one of the "Mellow Men" and "the Modernaires" with Hal Dickinson and Paula Kelly - way back in the 1940s. Every once in a while, we see him in an old movie, and just last week, we happened to watch an old Elvis Presley documentary about Elvis' Gospel singing, and there was Bill Lee singing right next to him."

93        In putting the Johann Zech Family genealogy together in 2003, very little is known of the family of Pauline Totz.
       According to Irene A. Sichler [IAS 01], Pauline may have died when Adelhaide was only nine years old. That could have been in 1872. Adelhaide, her second child was born in 1863.
       The reason why Emilie, Adelhaide, Pauline, and Willhelm all came to the United States is that their father remarried after the death of Pauline Totz. See IAS 01 for a sentence that indicates that Adelhaide's father "remarried and she was raised by a stepmother."

This second marriage took place in Londonderry, Vermont, on October 25, 1858. There could not have been any children from this marriage because both were too old. [DLL]

       The first grist-mill erected in the town was built by a Mr. Hamilton, on road 29, upon the site now occupied by Pierce's mill. Mr. Hamilton run the mill a number of years, during which time it burned to the ground, and was rebuilt. He was finally killed by a fall from the bridge. Captain Danile Cobb, son of Colonel Daniel Cobb, and father of Mrs. William Harris, subsequently purchase the property, running the business about ten years, when he, too, was killed, or died of wounds received by being caught in some of the machinery. Mr. Pierce, the present proprietor, has enlarged the mill so that it now has three runs of stones, with the capacity for grinding 15,000 bushels of grain per annum, and has also lately put in machinery for manufacturing chair stock.

100        In the 1840 U.S. Federal Census, Frederick Bonebright lives in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. He is in the two to 30 year old category; he lives with one female also in the same category; this person is probably his wife. He also live with five children, three males and two females; all of these children are in the under five category. One person in the family is engaged in agriculture; the assumption would be that it is the head of household, Frederick, who is that person. [FBon 01.]
       In the 1850 U.S. Federal Census, Frederick Bonebright has moved from Lycoming County to the Town of Silver Creek, Stephenson County, Illinois. That event happened between 1840 and 1850, probably after 1847 or 1848 after the birth of Harriet, born in Pennsylvania probably about 1847. He is a 38 year old farmer who was born in Pennsylvania. He lives with his wife, Marie or Maria, five daughters (Elizabeth, Priscilla, Sarah, Rebecca, and Harriet) and three sons (Thomas, George, and John). It appears that Priscilla and Thomas could be twins since they are both of the same age. FBon 02.]
       It is my hypothesis that Frederick Bonebright died between 1850 and 1860 since his wife is a widow [MaBon 01] in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census. 
Bonebright, Frederick (I983)
