ALLEN RESEARCH REPORT [allenUS080904 / 0346] 8 September 2004 The objective of this research project was to search primary sources to verify the ancestral lines of Leonard, Allis, Burkhead, Harvey, and Comstock, and to update family group records and pedigree charts with source information. Sources consulted were maps, vital records, tax, land and property, town, church, census, and court records, and computer databases. We will briefly discuss sources found concerning each family as well as evidence used to prove or disprove generational links. Leonard Research began with the Leonard line, beginning with Truman Leonard, born 23 March 1784 at Worthington, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. His birth information was documented through the published vital records of the town of Worthington, and was given as the following [document #1a-b]: LEONARD: Truman, ch. Capt. Ezra, Mar. 23, 1784 Truman, [ch.] Capt. Leonard, bp. June 13, [1799]. C.R. The birth information of Truman's father, Ezra, as well as the marriage of his parents, Nathan Leonard and Abigail Herrick, was documented through town and vital records of Preston, New London, Connecticut. Their information is as follows [document #2]:
Nathan Leonard and Abigail Herrick both of Preston were married November the 12th A.D. 1739
Ezra Leonard their son was born June ye 30th 1755
Nathan Leonard's birth information, as well as information for his parents, was also found in these records [document #3a-b]:
Saml Lenardson dyed ye 11th of May 1718
Samuell Lenardsons junr children by Lydia Cook
. . . It appears Leonard and Leonardson were interchangeable in the Preston records [document #3c-d]. We also documented Abigail Herrick's birth information in these records [document #4]: Ephraim Herrick Junr. was maried to Rachel Fellows ye 19th day of February 1719/18 . . . Abigail their daughter was born ye 21 of October 1721 Through a memorial for Solomon Leonard, we found Truman and Roxanna (Allis) Leonard named a son Ezra [document #5]. This supports the parental link between Truman and his father, Ezra. This memorial also gave migrational information which will be helpful in future research. We sought to locate the location of Truman Leonard's marriage to Roxanna Allis. An unknown source gives their marriage date as 1 June 1811, but place information differs between Hampshire County, Massachusetts and New Canaan, Columbia County, New York. We found Nathan's father, Ezra, in Worthington, Hampshire, Massachusetts in the 1810 Federal Census, just a year before the supposed date of Nathan's marriage [document #6]. Nathan would have been about 26 and was not enumerated as part of his father's household. We did not find him listed separately in Hampshire County. This may mean he was not married there, but future research will be necessary to determine this. We also found Ezra in the 1820 Federal Census in Wayne, Ashtabula County, Ohio [document #7]. Although not yet documented, this supports the claim he died in 1823 in Ashtabula County. Allis
Attention was first given to documenting the birth and parental link of Roxanna Allis, supposedly born 15 September 1786 at Chester, Hampshire, Massachusetts. Chester is now part of Hampden County, which was created 1812 from Hampshire [document #8a-b]. It appears Allis and Ellis were used interchangeably in many records. Other members of the Allis/Ellis family were also found in these records [document #9a-f, 10-12]. We found Lemuel's birth information in many other sources [document #13a-b, 14-15] , but found no source to document the birth of Roxanna.
We sought to document Lemuel in Chester, and also to prove the parental link between him and his supposed father, Samuel. As vital records for the area of Somers, Tolland County, Connecticut (the place of Lemuel's supposed birth) do not exist at the Family History Library, we first focused on records in Chester, and then turned to land records in Somers.
We searched tax lists for Chester, but did not find any Allis/Ellis individual in Chester until December 1779, when the name of Samuel Elliss appears [document #16a-b]. His name was in the tax lists through their end in 1788 and is joined by Lemuel and John Elliss in 1784 [document #16d]. We found Lemuel and Samuel had pew assignments relatively near one another in the town meeting house in 1785 [document #16e-f]. Lemuel's name was in the tax lists through 1788 [document #16g-i]. We found some vital records for Samuel Allis in this history [document #22f-j]:
October 19th 1729 marriage is intended between Mr Samll Allis of this town and Mrs Hannah Shelding of Deerfield
. . . We did not find any mention of Lemuel Allis/Ellis in this history, and at present do not know the source of Lemuel's full birth date (22 June 1747). The fact a man named Nathan Haverfield was a witness to their marriage supports the link between Mahalaleel and the son he and Sarah had five years later, named Nathan Haverfield.
We documented the birthplaces of Nathan, Mahalaleel, and Sarah through the 1880 Federal Census [document #29], and documented Nathan's month and year of birth through the 1900 Federal Census [document #30]. Nathan and his wife were in Nodaway County, Missouri in the 1900 Federal Census, which supports the claim he died in this county three years later. We also found Mahalaleel and Sarah near their son, Joshua, in Adams County in the 1870 Federal Census [document #31a-b]. Anna's age in this marriage license does not match the 1855 year of birth we have for her. We followed her in several censuses, however, and her age consistently matched 1854/1855 [document #34-37]. In fact, the 1900 Federal Census gave her birth information as February 1855, which documents her birth month and year [document #35].
We were unable to find Anna or her supposed father, Ed (probably Edward) in the 1860 Federal Census. We located two Edward Harveys in Virginia in the 1850 Federal Census [document #38-40]. As one of these individuals was still single in the 1860 Federal Census [document #41], the most probable father of Anna (if his name was indeed Edward) is Edward B. Harvey, of Appomattox County, Virginia. He was age 25 in the 1850 Federal Census, but was not found in 1860. ROBERT G. ALLEN REPORT ENDNOTES [allenUS080904 / 0346] 8 September 2004 ROBERT ALLEN RESEARCH REPORT [bass011204 / 0346] 16 January 2004 The objective of this research project was to identify as many new ancestors as possible to at least the tenth generation, if possible, of Robert Grant Allen [1st generation], focusing o the New England lineage of Sarah Read [8th generation], Luther Bass [6th generation], Joseph Rawson [7th generation], Rhoda Gough [7th generation], Ezra Leonard [6th generation], Hannah Marsh [6th generation], Lemuel Allis [6th generation], and Rebecca Davis [6th generation].
All of the above names were sought in the Ancestral File. Two connections were made. Joseph Rawson's ancestry was copied back to the ten hundreds where it connects to a number of Magna Carta Sureties and the Royal Lines of Great Britain, Scandinavia, and Europe. Many of the client's lines were extended back numerous generations, some as early as the first century A.D. [document #8-25]. Joseph Rawson's ancestral connections appear to be correct, although many of the dates are questionable, especially in sixteenth century England. Each connection should be verified in an original document, family history, or other acceptable record. ROBERT ALLEN RESEARCH REPORT [marshdavis102504 / 0346] 10 November 2004 The objective of this research project was to identify the parents of Hannah Marsh and/or Rebecca Davis in New England. We were able to find one possibility for the parents of Rebecca Davis, but could not locate the parents of Hannah Marsh at this time. The marriage of Lemuel Allis and Rebeckah Davis took place at Somers, Tolland, Connecticut. Rebecca and Lemuel also named a daughter Hannah, possibly after her mother. Since Lemuel and Rebecca were both listed on their marriage as being of Somers, it would make sense Rebecca was also born in Connecticut. At this time, we were not able to absolutely verify the parents of Rebecca Davis as Benjamin and Hannah Davis, but they are an excellent possibility. Conclusion Although we were not able to identify the parents of Hannah Marsh and Rebecca Davis, we feel this has been a successful project as we have been able to verify and add information to the family group records compiled during a previous project. We found two of the children listed in the family of Ezra and Hannah (Marsh) Leonard were actually the children of Ezra and Dorcas (Brown) Leonard. The marriage date for Lemuel Allis and Rebeckah Davis was also located as were four additional children. Suggestions for future research include the following: Further search records in Connecticut for the Rebeckah Davis who was born to Benjamin and Hannah in 1758 to see if we can determine who she married or what happened to her. Search all of the town records of Hampshire County, Massachusetts in an effort to determine who the parents of Hannah Marsh were. It has been a pleasure to assist you with your research endeavors. We look forward to continuing research according to your instructions. _2004 Price & Associates Incorporated DEM/mh |
