| 104. Abraham7 Aaron |
On 27 May 1772, Abraham Ernn (sic) purchased 210 acres on Aaron's Creek, a branch of Turkey Crock Creek for 50 pounds. 'Delivered to A. Aron' is written on the margin of the deed. This land was purchased from George Jefferson who was a first cousin of Thomas Jefferson.
During the Revolutionary War, Abraham Aaron furnished supplies for the Virginia Militia. On 17 Oct 1778, he furnished beef for the Pittsylvania County militia. On other occasions, he provided bacon, forrage, brandy, and he shot (shod?) two horses. He also repaired guns for the use of state troops.
Abraham subscribed to the Oath of Allegiance before Capt. Daniel Hankins in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on 6 Sep 1777. He was also a member of the Grand Jury of Pittsylvania County for several terms during the Revolutionary War.
An Act was passed by the Virginia Legislature in 1779 which encouraged settlers by offering "waste and unappropriated lands" for sale at nominal prices. Abraham Aaron, Sr. patented four tracts of land from the State of Virginia pursuant to the act which offered land for 40 pounds for every 100 acres: (1) 320 acres which was surveyed on 29 Oct 1782. The deed was signed in Richmond, Virginia on 1 Jun 1784 by Gov. Benjamin Harrison (Gov. Harrison was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence); (2) 96 acres which was issued on 10 Feb 1783; (3) 400 acres, warrant no. 10,635 issued 5 Jan 1782; (4) 220 acres surveyed 9 Apr 1802, and signed 10 Jun 1802 by Gov. James Monroe who later became a President of the United States of America.
From the FTM Files of Ruth A. Collins: Abraham Aaron, Sr. was also known as Abraham Aron and Abraham Arnn. Research is leaning toward, but not proven, the probability that our Abraham Aron/Arnn/Aaron, was Jewish.
There is one known case of shunning. Family tradition is that when Margaret R. Blair married Abihu Aaron, a descendant of Abraham Aaron I, her family shunned her because she married a Jew. That combined with family reports that Abraham I was Dutch and several his descendants were named after Jewish High Priests, raised the question of whether Abraham Aaron I was Jewish.
The Jewish Community of Antwerp, Belgium, Austrian Rule (1713-1794): The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) transferred Antwerp to the Austrians. The new authorities were more interested in collecting their taxes than in enforcing anti-Jewish policies. Although in principle there were limits on the number of Jews permitted to enter the country, after 1718 they were required to pay the Toleranzgeld, a special tax for the right to reside in Antwerp.
The first Jewish inhabitant that was inscribed in the Poorterboek (the municipal register of Antwerp) was Abraham Arons, a shopkeeper, in 1715. Other Jews originally from Amsterdam or Germany are mentioned in the municipal records of the early 18th century.

| 352. Nathaniel9 Sherman |
Apr. 3, 1732, John Sherman administrator, presented to the Probate Judge his complaint and petition of that date, stating that considerable of the personal estate of deceased is in the hands of Nathaniel Sherman, of Hassanimisco, Worcester County, which he refuses to deliver to the administrator, and praying the Judge to cite Nathaniel before him in order to his being interrogated relating to the premises.The Judge thereupon issued a citation to Nathaniel to appear at the Judge's house in Cambridge, on Apr. 28, "at 10 of the clock, afternoon" to be interrogated and authorized John Sherman to serve the citation. The Judge certified that on Apr. 28, John and Nathaniel appeared before him and Nathaniel acknowledged he had in his possession "all ye deeds, surveying Instruments, and a feather bed, about 20 Books, plans of lands and other paper and sd. Nathl. being examined upon oath declared that he has in his possession sundry other things mostly household stuffe wch. his sd. father dyed possessed of, but not being able to give an account of all ye particulars at present promised within 30 days to give an Inventory thereof to the Administrator."
The administrator presented another petition dated Sept. 15, 1732, stating that his brother Nathaniel had neglected to give him any account of what of the decedent's estate he had in his possession and asked that he answer certain interrogatories. Nathaniel answered these stating that he had in his possession "a feather bed and furniture, two Inn Kettles, tongs & fire peal, 3 pewter dishes, some wooden & eathen [sic] dishes, scales & weights--one suite of ye decd, wearing cloths, one chest & 2 Boxes bell morter & brass skimer, one spit, frying pan & warming pan, one load stove, Iron Fetters & an 100 Weight of old Iron, cast wheell, old Hoops & boxes, horse & plow chains old, five chairs & captns leading staff;" that he knew nothing of live stock except an old horse since dead and that he had about twenty books.

he answered "He declares on oath that he knows of no Bond or bill executed by himself or any other person to ye decd or for his wife and that he knows of no estate money or goods of ye decd in ye hands of any other person." He also promised that if any of the deceased's estate should come to hisknowledge he would give an account thereof to the administrator.

| 488. Anthony9 Garnett |
That Anthony, though not named in the will was his oldest son is proved by the following: Essex D.B. 28, p.115, October 27, 1758, Anthony Garnett and Elizabeth his wife of Culpeper County convey to Richard Noell 150 acres that descended to said Anthony as heir at law to his father Thomas Garnett, deceased. Thomas was likely born about 1675 and Anthony between 1700 and 1710.
Anthony married about 1730 Elizabeth, the daughter of Robert Jones, Burgess of Essex 1726, and widow of John Boulware (Essex D.B. 20, p.15, O.B. 11, p.72). Robert Jones died about 1730 and Elizabeth his widow with John Edmundson, James Jones and John Rowzee as her securities gave bond as administratrix (W.B. 4, p.395). In the division of the negroes, Anthony Garnett and his wife received one-third of those belonging to the estate (W.B. 5, p.268).
Between 1739 (O.B. 11, p.72) and 1741 Anthony moved from Essex to that part of Orange later Culpeper, for on December 20, 1741 (Orange D.B. 5, p.571) the executors of Alexander Spotswood deceased leased to him "50 acres in St. Mark's Parish in Orange on the north side of Rapidan River for the natural lives of Robert Garnett and Thomas Garnett his sons for 800 lbs. tob. annually, the first payment to be made December 25, 1743."
He died in Lincoln Co. Kentucky, about 1784, where his inventory is recorded in Book "A" (King's KY. Wills, p.150). Besides the sons Robert and Thomas he is said to have had sons James, John and Reuben, daughters Lucy who married ___ Tinsley, Sally who married ___ Stepp, and Betsy married William Willis of Culpeper (Slaughter's "St. Mark's Parish", pp. 59-60).

| 968. George10 Boone |
He first settled in Abington, Birks Co., PA, later, in North Wales, Philadelphia Co., PA, then in 1720 to Oley Twp., Philadelphia Co., PA. He was a Quaker, a member of Cullompton, Devonshire, Meeting House in England.
Albert Cook Myers, Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750.,(1902, Reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1969) Page 109:
Exeter Monthly Meeting in Berks County - The Particular Meeting of Oley, later called Exeter, was established by Gwynedd Monthly Meeting in 1721, and the Monthly Meeting in 1737. Among the first Friends to settle here was George Boone, originally from Bradwinck, near Exeter, Devonshire, England, grandfather of Daniel Boone, the celebrated Kentucky pioneer.--Howard M. Jenkins' Gwynedd, 80, 325 et seq.
Genealogies of Kentucky Families, Vol. 1, "Boone Records", p.55 (Genealogy.com): The Gwynedd meeting records show this minute, dated 31st of 10th month (December), in that year (1717): "George Boone, senior, producted a certificate of his good Life and conversation from the Monthly (Meeting) at Collumpton in Great Britian, which was read and well received."
This George, the elder, died in Berks County (the Oley or Exeter Friends settlement), February 2, 1740, aged 78 years. [The date is actually the date of his wife's death.] His wife was Mary, who was born in the same place as her husband, and died aged 72. They were both buried in the Friends' ground at Oley.
"A New Light on Daniel Boone's Ancestry", p.71: George Boone 3d, born 166 at Exeter, England; married to Mary Mangridge there. Emigrated to America 10th October, 1717, and settled at Exeter township, on the Schuykill river, with his family.
George Boone died on the 6th day of the week, near eight of the clock, in the morning, on the 27th of July 1744, aged 78 years. And Mary, his wife, died on the 2d day of the week, on the 2d of February, 1740, aged 72 years, and they were decently interred in the Friends' Burying Ground in the said township of Exeter, Pa.
"The Boone-Bryan History", p.84-86: Exeter (England, where George lived) at this time was an important seaport town in Devonshire, S.W. England, and in their day was the seat of the old Saxon kings. ...
George Boone and family arrived at Philadelphia October 10, 1717. (It is said he was appointed secretary to William Penn by King James at the request of Sir Wm. Penn, M.P.) ...
George Boone, Sr. ... lived in Calumpton, Devonshire, England, and came from there to Pennsylvania. In that day religious beliefs were emphasized with much force. The Boones were "dissenters" and belonged to the "Society of Friends" (called Quakers), both in England and America; this was sufficient reason for their choosing Pennsylvania for their future home.

| 1354. William11 Cornwell |
The date 1633 is given just before and just after the entry of these names. No further record of him is found in Roxbury, but we have evidence that in May 1637, he was one of the seventy-seven soldiers, all but nineteen of whom were from Hartford and the other Connecticut River towns, who attacked and all but exterminated the Pequot Indians in their fort at Mystic.
In 1639, when the land records of Hartford, CT begin, William Cornwall had a house lot of eight acres in the village, "no. 54, west of South Street, south from the Lane," which corresponds to a location near the north end of the present Village Street.
He removed before March 5, 1648, from the village of Hartford to the east side of the Connecticut River at Hocanum. On that date he bound out his second son, William, who was seven years old, to Susannah Hooker of Hartford, widow of the Reverend Thomas Hooker, with provision for his education.
William & Mary next were found living in Middletown (Mattabeseck Settlement) on the Connecticut River, fifteen miles below Hartford. They lived near the present day corners of Main and Washington streets. He owned 5 acres at the intersection of these streets and ten acres across the street from his home.
His lands in Middletown were first formally recorded February 30, 1657, though a grant to him is alluded to as early as March 15, 1652, about which time the land records begin. The total amount recorded to him is nine hundred and three acres. Besides this amount he had a "great lot over the Great River" and an original proprietor’s share in the undivided lands of the township.
William and family joined the church in Middletown on 3 Dec. 1668. William became a representative from Middletown in the Colonial Legislature in 1654, 1664 and 1665. He was also a constable in 1664. A March 26, 1670 tax list gives 52 house holders in Middletown, CT, including him and three of his sons, the other two having stayed behind in Hartford. He was included in this list even though the General Court in 1667 had freed him from paying taxes, probably due to his age.
He was 64 when he signed his will "Cornell" in 1674 and he called himself "well stricken in years and much abated in any natural strength." He is probably buried in Riverside Cemetery, though no tombstones exist from that date.

| 1355. Mary11 [--?--] |
No first hand evidence has been found that Mary Hyanno is the wife of our William Cornwell. There is some circumstantial evidence that supports this connection though.
William was involved in negotations with the tribe that Mary Hyanno was a member of. He appears to be the original land owner of sections of land on "Indian Hill" in Middletown, the town he helped found. (Could he have inherited this through a marriage to Mary Hyanno?) The fact that his 2nd marriage wasn't recorded in a time period when marriages were listed in the public records possibly indicates that it could be because of a marriage to an Indian.

| 1356. Richard11 Miles |
Isabel MacBeath Calder, The New Haven Colony, p.155-56: The town voted to build a new mill on the site of the first. Then Rowe [the miller] fell ill, and Richard Miles, who "said he was no Milner, (thought some thing he had done that way in England when the Milner was out of the way)," was installed. The complaints of his grinding were many, and weary of the enterprise, the town considered selling or letting the mill. In 1662 the destruction of the edifice by fire solved the problem. ...
James Rogers of Milford baked biscuit on a wholesale scale, but not to the entire satisfaction of his customers, and perhaps for this reason, in 1655 the town of New Haven requested Richard Miles to establish a bakehouse for biscuit. ...
He was one of the persons entrusted with the building of an ocean-going vessel. Though ill built and very "walt-sided," in due course the ship was completed. On its first voyage, the ship disappeared and became known as the famous "phantom ship".

And because I understood by Joseph Alsop how boisterously some of your plantation opposed your voyage, with your family to us ward, and intimated that the vessel was rotten and your lives would be endangered by the voyage, I signified in a letter which I sent to you by Higby, that on the Lord's day after his departure from Pequot, which was the next day after the date of your letter to me, as I remember, Joseph Alsop gave public thanks in the congregation for his safe and comfortable passage. ...

He emigrated to New England in September 1635 on the Truelove with his second wife and four of the children from his first marriage (Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary and John). In his will he refers to the monetary assistance of his wife in bringing himself and his children to this country.
In England he was a solicitor (a type of lawyer), and therefore probably a man of superior education and station in life.

From the Records of the Court of Requests
12 Feb 21 James I [1623/4]. Elizabeth Sale of Chesshum, co. Bucks, widow, relict and executrix of Edward Sale, late of Chessham, brings suit against Randle Wetwood of London, haberdasher. She claims that her husband Edward Sale, being a mercer, had dealings with and bought wares of the defendant, who was a haberdasher, and, owing him £17. 19s. 4d. for wares, entered into a bond in August 1618 to pay said sum, which sum was afterwards paid.
But by reason of the great trust and confidence which he had in the said Wetwood, he took little care nor gave any sufficient direction for the cancelling of said bond, not doubting that the said Randall would have cancelled the same of his own accord, by reason whereof said bond hath remained in the hands of the said Wettwood uncancelled.
Complainant is executrix of her husband's will, and hath in administering said estate paid said Wettwood several sums owing him for a debt her late husband owed said Wettwood as surety for one James Gossham; yet the said Wettwood hath not claimed anything on the said bond until now of late, by reason of some dislike he hath taken [for reasons mentioned], he hath brought suit at the common law to recover said £17. 19s. 4d. Asks for a writ of Privy Seal to be directed to the said Randle Wetwood.
The Answer of Randle Wettwood, dated 28 Apr, 22 James I [1624]. He declares that Edward Sale paid £4. 11s. 4d. on said debt, so that there is still owed £13. 8s. Claims that, about six months after the death of Edward Sale, William Presson, son-in-law to said complainant, who was privy to all the passages between the said defendantand said Sale, and also now solicitor in this cause, came to defendant from complainant, and asked how much the said Edward owed; and being told, said he would see it paid. Denies that complainant has paid anything to him for the debt of James Gosham. (Public Record Office, Court of Requests, unindexed records, Bundle 423.)
