Birth*	Jerusha York was born on 24 September 1787 in Epping, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.1
Marriage*	She married first Joshua Folsom on 11 December 1805 in Brentwood, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.2
Death*	Jerusha York died of old age on 29 October 1867 in Boston, Suffolk County, MassachusettsG.3
	Her first husband Joshua Folsom was of "No. 2, County of Hancock, Mass" and Jerusha was from Brentwood at the time of their marriage. This is probably Hancock County, Maine. Number two was likely an unincorporated area that later became a town, although I do not know what town that was. The Genealogy of the Folsom Family by Elizabeth Knowles Folsom, revised ed., vol. 2, has Joshua as an unconnected Folsom and that they had children Paul, b. in Washington D.C. Sep 1817, Eliza and Harriet. When the 1850 census was taken she was the head of a household in Ward 12 of Boston with the family of Hiram and Eliza Wentworth living with her. This Eliza was born in D.C. so is likely her daughter. Jerusha owned real estate worth $3000. Given that her husband Ebenezer wasn't listed he might have died by this point. In 1860 Jerusha appears to be living in the household of 31-year-old Silas Sherman and his family, who is likely her son. She owned real estate worth $2000 and personal property worth $300. Silas Sherman did not have any real estate so they were probably living in her house. At the time of her death she was the widow Sherman living on Sherman's Court in Boston.

Baptism*	Ezekiel York was baptized on 14 September 1783 in Epping, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.1
Marriage*	He married Nancy Folsom say 1806.2,3
Death*	Ezekiel York died on 1 March 1851 in Brentwood, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.4
Burial*	He was buried in April 1851 in the York Cemetery in Epping, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.5
	His placement as a son of Capt. Richard York of Brentwood is not proven, but is likely as we know from Richard's will that he had a son Ezekiel born in that time frame. Their daughter Sarah's 1891 death record stated that she was born in Newburgh, Maine, which if true means that Ezekiel was likely living up there for a time. The 1850 and 1860 censuses stated that she was born in New Hampshire, while 1880 said Maine. In the 1830 Brentwood census his family was recorded with 1 male 10-15, 3 males 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, 3 females 15-20, and 1 female 40-50. In the 1850 Brentwood census Ezekiel was a farmer with land worth $1500. It recorded two families in the one dwelling house, with Asa F. York being the head of the second family. With Ezekiel and Nancy in their family group was 21-year-old Mary Hook, born in N.H., who is their daughter. His occupation was given as Farmer on his death record.

	The place of Capt. Richard York in the York genealogy is not certain. Throughout his long life there is no document seen yet by this author that states specifically who his father was. The few secondary sources that mention him tend to connect him to an older Richard from Brentwood and Epping, probably because of his being referred to as Richard Jr. in many records, but in early times that merely meant someone who was the younger of two people by the same name. No family relationship was required. Other sources say he is the Richard York baptised in 1737 in Gloucester, Mass., son of Thomas and Dorothy (Low) York of that town, but that is unlikely. Based on his age at death we know he was born about 1743, so he is likely a grandson of Richard and Sarah York of Exeter, Epping and Brentwood. Their only two known sons are Richard and John, and of the two John seems to be the most likely one to be Capt. Richard's father. John's family was reasonably comfortable financially, while his brother Richard's was not. With our Capt. Richard York becoming a ship's captain at a relatively young age his coming from a somewhat prosperous family seems more likely. Also, his brother Nathaniel Folsom York is clearly the son of John York and his second wife Sarah Folsom, whose father's name was Nathaniel. Between 1768 and 1773 Richard, Nathaniel, and two other probable brothers John Carr York and Jonathan Young York all made their first appearances on the Exeter tax rolls, likely when they came of age or soon thereafter. Their father John was probably living in Epping at the time, but he also appears on the Exeter rolls in 1773-74. Another big clue to the identity of his father is the fact that the land on which his farm was set in Epping on the Brentwood border appears to be the same land that was first acquired by his grandfather Richard in 1739, as described in his entry. In 1749 grandfather Richard sold ten-acre portions of this land to each of his sons Richard and John. The son Richard sold his share to another party in 1763, while John York sold it to "Richard York of Exeter, mariner" through two deeds involving Zebulon Giddinge as an apparent middleman in 1772. See below for more information on this land transfer. Unfortunately no relationship between the two Yrosk was stated, but a father/son relationship seems likely. The fact that he was a ship's captain does present the possibility that he could have come from anywhere in the world and settled here, but his getting the captaincy of locally built ships at a young age argues for him being from the local area. Plus the fact that he later acquires the York family farm in Epping. It's possible that John and Richard had an unrecorded brother who was the father of Capt. Richard, but no record of such a person has yet been located. For now he will be considered to be a child of John York, but it will remain unproven. If John was his father, his mother's name is unknown, as John married Sarah York after Richard was born. SHIP CAPTAIN The age at which he first became a captain is an open question. The first record so far found mentioning a Capt. Richard York is from the New England Ancestors database, using the New Hampshire Gazette as a source. Dated 8 Sep 1769, it mentions that Capt. Richard York, of the brig Liberty, left from the Port of Piscataqua, sailing to Europe, from the Piscataqua Custom House list of 7 September. The Gazette has three other entries for a Capt. York(e), with no first name, with the first beginning in 1760, but as he would have been only 17 at the time it doesn't seem likely that it is him (unless of course his birth year calculated from his age at death is way off.) The first of those three entries states "The ship Endeavour, Capt. Yorke, bound-in from Barbados, was lost the 13th Instant [13 Sep 1760], on Chincoteague Shoals, when the Cargo as well as the Vessel was entirely lost, and one white man, and 8 or 9 Negroes drowned."Iin another entry, Capt.York arrived in Philadelphia from the West Indies on 14 Feb 1764. Another one has him arriving again in Philadelphia on 14 Mar 1765, this time from Antigua. A NH Gazette article on 6 May 1774 referencing York has the note in some files maintained by the Portsmouth Atheneum that reads "In on Wed. fr. W.I. Spoke Felicity on E. edge of George's Banks. All Well." One possibility presented by the above is that the Capt. Yorke of the ship Endeavour might have been an unrecorded York brother of Richard and John who died young, and that our Capt. Richard is his son, which might explain how he got his own captaincy at such a young age. He could have come into it through the fact that his father was a captain. We can speculate on some other reasons he could have gained his captaincy. Perhaps his mother, who is presently unknown, was the daughter or sister of another sea captain. Or perhaps Richard's wife's father was one. Either could explain how he could become a captain in his 20s. Another source with information on his early trips maintained by the Portsmouth Atheneum in a compiled list of British Shipping Records out of Portsmouth. There are eleven entries for a captain named Richard York. All were for the ship Endeavor built in 1770 in Exeter and owned by Ephraim Robinson, with the first three entries having a + symbol after Robinson's name, perhaps suggesting the original record mentions a second owner. Ten of the trips were to the West Indies, while one mentions specifically the Barbados, and they took place between Dec 1770 and Jun 1775. That fact that the 1760 trip mentioned above was on a ship also called the Endeavor is noteworthy, as our Richard was captain of a ship of the same name built in Exeter ten years later. There are still open questions here about his age and when he began his captaincy. After the Revolution there are records of many more of his voyages. Another index at the Portsmouth Atheneum lists the following: - Sloop Fair Play from the West Indies, 12/31/1784, 5/13/1785 (St. Lucia), 12/30/1785, 3/25/1786 and 4/1/178- [Last digit of year cut off] - Brig Nancy (built in Exeter), 165 tons, Jacob Sheafe, from West Indies, 9/25/1789 - Schooner Jane (built in Exeter), 75 tons, Dudley Watson, from West Indies, 2/14/1791 - Schooner Jane, from Port au Prince, 8/23/1791 - Schooner Jane, from West Indies, 7/2/1792 - Schooner Jane, from West Indies, 9/11/1792 - Schooner Jane, from Jamaica, 11/13/1793 - Brig Neutrality, 124 tons, Dudley Watson, from Demerara, 6/23/1804 On 3 Sep 1770 William Ham of Portsmouth, yeoman, sued Richard York of Exeter, mariner, for 18 pounds damages for the loss of a horse that Richard had rented to ride from Portsmouth to Exeter and back. The horse was a 4-year-old gelding valued at 15 pounds by Ham, and Richard rented it on 25 Aug 1770. According to Ham, "said Gelding the said Richard so carelessly and improperly used, and so immoderately and violently rode that by means of which said careless and improper using, immoderate and violent riding aforesaid, the said Gelding was entirely ruined and there afterwards on the 28th day of said August died. Whereby the plaintiff hath totally lost his said horse and is deprived of the profits and labour thereof." Capt. Jacob Tilton of Portsmouth provided bail surety. The trial took place on 14 Jan 1771 at the Inferior Court of Common Pleas in Portsmouth. Richard pled not guilty but the jury found him guilty and awarded the plaintiff 12 pounds and costs of court. Several men were called to give testimony: Joseph Moulton, Jon Mullen Jr., Jos. Shillaber, Jona Shillaber, Caleb B[resorter?], William Hart, Jos. Libbey, Gregory Durrell, and George Ham. Richard appealed his conviction and on the first Tuesday of February 1771 he lost his appeal, after which he had to pay even more court costs. [NH Provincial Court case #3466] REVOLUTIONARY WAR A Richard York signed the Association Test in Brentwood in 1776, the only York on the list in that town, so apparently the only adult York living in Brentwood at the time (as the non-signers were mentioned as well.) [Brentwood Association Test, original document at NH State Archives] Whether this applies to him or a different Richard is unknown. There were also two Richard Yorks who signed up in Wakefield, N.H. where a John York had moved. One of those Richards is likely a son of John, while the other may be the second Brentwood Richard who might have been living in Wakefield at that time. [Wakefield Association Test, original document at NH State Archives] Signatures of all three Richards have been compared in the original documents and they are clearly three different people. During the Revolutionary War it seems like Richard didn't serve as a soldier but was involved in finances. He may have been too old to go off to war. His name does not appear in any of the Revolutionary War rolls in the NH State Papers series. There are three documents to be found on ancestry.com. In one there is a pay card for a Joseph Rawlings in 1780 where he is paid for 5 months and 19 days of service "per order of Richard York Jr." [Ancestry.com database U.S., Compiled Revolutionary War Military Service Records, 1775-1783] In another document dated 16 Jan 1782 Capt. Richard York is on a Rockingham County document listing how much money was raised from each town for the war effort. Richard reported the results for Brentwood. [Ancestry.com database New Hampshire, U.S., Revolutionary War Records, 1675-1835] Another document in the same database shows Capt. Richard York reporting more taxes raised for Brentwood 30 Aug 1783. No evidence has been found yet to indicate whether he might have acted as a ship captain during the war. The Naval History and Heritage Command website makes available a thorough collection of naval documents of the American Revolution but as of this writing (2023) they have only produced records up through Aug 1778. Our Richard does not appear in any of the 13 volumes of records up to that point. PROPERTY and RESIDENCES Before 1768 he was likely living in Epping with his father. Tax records for Epping, if any exist for that time period, have not yet been checked. He apparently moved to Exeter by 1768 when he first appears on the tax rolls there. He was assessed for a town rate of 4 shillings 10.5 pence and province rate of 1 shilling 7.5 pence, which is among the lowest amounts when compared to others on the list. He appears again the following two years at similar rates. Then in 1771 his name is entered as Capt. Richard York and continues that way in subsequent years through 1774, where that particular section of Exeter tax lists end in the source that was searched. [Exeter Town Records on familysearch.org starting at , pp. 393, 411, 442, 478, 523, 580, 636] His tax rate continued to be among the lowest until 1773 when they started to increase relative to his neighbors. On 17 Aug 1772 John York of Exeter, yeoman sold land in Exeter to Richard York of Exeter, mariner, through two deeds involving Zebulon Giddinge of Exeter. Giddinge was a prosperous and well-known Exeter merchant who apparently purchased the property from John, for 260 pounds, then sold it immediately to Richard for 250 pounds. The missing ten dollars would likely be made up in the interest payments that Richard would make up over time. This land was at a place called Piscassic and contained 49 acres bordering the road leading from Exeter to Pawtuckaway Mills, land formerly beloning to Jeremiah Bean, the Pissack River [now Piscassic], land Richard York sold to Col John Phillips, Esq., land formerly belonging to Bartholomew Thing, land of Nicholas Smith, and land formerly of Jacob Gales. Both deeds state that the land was in Exeter, not Epping, but this sounds like the Epping land that had been in the family for a few generators - John's share of the York family land that was first deeded to him by his father around 1749, and where they lived during the court cases in the early 1750s. Witnesses to the first deed between John and Giddinge were John Carthy and James Creighton. John York signed the deed. The second deed between Giddinge and Richard was witnessed by John York and John Gilman 5th. [Rockingham Deeds, 103:237-9] John was likely transferring the land to his son through these two deeds, but couldn't afford to just give it to him so he sold it first to Giddinge in order to get the full amount in cash, then it was immediately sold to Richard with a mortgage. There is no stated relationship between John and Richard in either deed but it is one more piece of circumstantial evidence suggestive of the fact that they were father and son. Despite purchasing this land in 1772 that was likely in Epping he continued to be taxed in Exeter, so either had two properties or didn't move to Epping yet. Town tax records mentioned above also include highway taxes for 1772-1774 that describe the local Supervisor of Highways district that each person was in. In 1772 Richard's district was described as “Beginning at the lanes end so called from thence down the road to Newmarket line, also the road leading from the meeting house hill (so called, to Eliphalet Giddinge’s house over the parsonage.” In 1773 it was “Beginning at the easterly side of the great bridge from thence by the water side to Kimmins’s [or Himmins’s] brook (so-called) thence up the Sand hill to the Widow Abigail Connor’s house from thence down the Road to the great bridge aforesaid including said Bridge and all the streets within the aforesaid limits.” And in 1773 it was "“Beginning at the corner of the lane by Benjamin Smith’s from thence the road by the water side to Newmarket line also the road leading over the parsonage to Eliphalet Giddinge’s from thence the road called the Lanes end to the water side.” [Exeter Town Records, 503, 547, 619] While tax records past 1774 for Exeter haven't yet been checked, we know he had moved by 1781 when he first appears in the Brentwood town records (mentioned below). His land in Epping was right on the border with Brentwood and apparently his primary legal residence at that point became Brentwood. On 11 Feb 1784 Richard York Jr. of Brentwood, yeoman, purchased 45 acres of land in Brentwood for 150 pounds from Robert Mattlin of Brentwood, yeoman, and his wife Sarah Mattlin. This was land where the Mattlins currently lived, bounded by Plaisted's Way, the road from Exeter to Nottingham, land formerly of Job Judkins, and land that Nathaniel Webster gave to John Connor's wife. Witnesses were Thomas Kendall and Abraham Perkins. [Rockingham Deeds, 117:5-6] On 19 Apr 1792 Richard York Jr. of Brentwood, mariner, was sued in Rockingham Superior Court by John Taylor Gilman of Exeter, Esquire for non-payment of a 13 pound, 13 shilling debt owed to the estate of Nicholas Gilman that Richard had incurred on 1 Apr 1786 and had never paid. [Rockingham Superior Court case 12774] John Taylor Gilman was a state leader and went on to be NH Governor two years later. A 20 Dec 1793 perambulation of the town lines between Epping, Brentwood and Poplin mentions “a straight line between said Towls easterly to a certain rock called the Middle of the Town of Exeter Standing in Capt. Richard Yorks fence near the north end of his barn and then easterly on said course till it comes to the south east corner of said Epping.” [Brentwood Town Records, 1:515] This was drawing the line that separates Epping in the north from the two towns of Poplin (Fremont) and Brentwood that were both south of Epping, from the western border with Raymond to the eastern border with Exeter. It means Capt. Richard York’s property was right on the Brentwood/Epping line somewhere. Based on an 1857 map it shows a York property (hard to read but appears to be A.F. York) right at the town line just beyond where Route 27 passes the New England Dragway. This is likely Richard’s grandson Asa F. York. By 1793 he owned some land in Nottingham where he was taxed as a non-resident for a number of years. He was specifically referred to as Capt. Richard York in some of the earlier tax lists. The tax books viewed begin with 1793 and for the first two years inventory his land as being 4 acres of pasture and 60 acres of unimproved lands. A few years later he must have converted four more acres to pasture because in 1795 he was taxed on 8 acres of pasture and 56 of unimproved lands. This continued to be the case through the 1798 tax list but in 1799 his inventory mentioned only 40 acres of unimproved land. [Nottingham Town records, 1:415-6, 424, 452-3, 469, 493, 503, 536-7, 545, 578-9, 587, 619, 621, 630-664-5, 671] At an Epping Town meeting on 25 Aug 1806 a vote was taken to describe and number the school districts in town. District 1 “begins at Capt. Richard York’s on the road to Exeter near Brintwood line thence extends up the road to Edward Lawrence’s then taking the mast way (so called) so far as to include Mr. Daniel Rundlet.” [Epping Town Records, 1:244] At another such meeting on 6 Nov 1809 Epping Town meeting a vote was taken “To see if the Town will vote for the Selectmen to lay out a new road from Nicholas Robinson’s to Brintwood line, near Capt. Richard York’s…” The vote failed. [Epping Town Records, 1:271-2] A 27 Nov 1810 perambulation of the border between Epping and Brentwood includes “Beginning at a Stone on the southerly side of Epping at the north west corner of Brintwood thence we run south eight two degrees east two miles one hundred and one rods to a stone in the wall near Capt. Richard Yorks marked E. B. thence…” [E.B. probably stands for Epping Brentwood, but possibly Exeter Brentwood if it was old enough] [Brentwood Town Records, 1:685] TOWN AFFAIRS Over the years Richard served in a variety of local elected and appointed positions in the towns of Brentwood and Epping. He is alternately called either Richard York Jr. or Captain Richard York. This information comes from the microfilmed and digitized records at FamilySearch.com. The letters B and E will be used in the references below to designate which town records they are from, followed by volume and page numbers. Most of these events took place at the March Town Meetings. - Brentwood Surveyor of highways, 1781 [B1:339] - Brentwood, voted a petit juror 1781 [B1:341] - Hired as Brentwood constable in 1782 for $20 plus ‘collection money.’ The vote apparently goes to the lowest bidder. He was turned down for this same job the previous year. [B1:340, 362] - Brentwood, voted a Town assessor, 1782. [B1:362] - In 1782 Brentwood chose a committee to procure four Continental soldiers for three years or during the way, and he was chosen as one of three for the committee. [B1:364] - In 1783 was elected as a Brentwood Selectman for one year, with Levi Morrill and Thomas Stow Ranney. Only Morrill was reelected the next year. [B1:374] - It is thirteen years before he holds another office, that of Surveyor of Highways in 1796. [B1:545] - Brentwood fence viewer in 1797. [B1:553] - Voted as a member of a five man Brentwood committee in 1797 to lay out the $100 appropriated for “Supplying the Desk in said Town With Preaching.” [B1:555] - Brentwood Surveyor of Highways and Bridges in 1798. [B1:561] - In 1799 voted again as a Selectman in Brentwood, this time with Jonathan Vezey and Capt. Abraham Morrill. [B1:570] - Chosen as clerk of a Brentwood Town meeting on 30 Dec 1799. [B1:578] - Reelected as Selectman in Brentwood in 1800 with Vezey and Morrill, [B1:580], as well as a Surveyor of Highways. [B1:581] - Chosen Moderator of Brentwood Town meetings on 25 Aug 1800 and 27 Oct 1800. [B1:586, 588] - Elected Brentwood Selectman again in 1801 with Lt. William Morrill and Edward Tuck. [B1:592] Also Surveyor of Highways and Bridges. [B1:593] - 31 Aug 1801 appointed a petit juror in Brentwood. [B1:596] - In 1802 not reelected as Selectman, but was one of three on a Brentwood committee voted to audit the Selectmen’s accounts. [B1:603] - Drawn as a Grand Juryman in Brentwood on 29 Nov 1804. [B1:621] - Voted a Town Assessor in Brentwood in 1805. [B1:626] The last office he held in Brentwood. He apparently gave up public office in Brentwood at that point but did go back to it a few years later in Epping, when at the 1812 and 1813 Epping Town Meetings he was chosen a Town Assessor, and in 1813 also as a Surveyor of Highways. [E1:288, 296-7] LATER LIFE On 9 Jun 1784 the General Court of New Hampshire met and the following item appeared in their journal: "A vote to grant the prayer of petition of Richard York, Jr. in behalf of Robert Macklin, and giving him leave to bring in a bill accordingly, was brought up, read and concurred. [New Hampshire Provincial and State Papers, 20:44, 73] He is likely one of the two Richard Yorks enumerated in the 1790 census of Brentwood, the other being his probable cousin who married Rachel Wadleigh. His household had one male over 16, four males under 16, and four females. He is enumerated in the 1800 census of Brentwood with 2 males 10-15, 2 males 45+, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-15, and 1 female 45+. There seems to be one extra male 45+ and an extra female under 10. The extra little girl could be a daughter who died before his will was written in 1821, or perhaps the daughter of the extra adult male. We know his daughter Anna was dead by 1821, and that according to the will she had more than one child with her husband George Fuller. George does not appear to be listed in the 1800 census so this could be him with one daughter but given that they had more than one child it doesn't seem likely. In 1819 or 1820 a new Epping First Congregational Society was formed and Richard York was a member for the last few years of his life. [Epping First Congregational Church Society Records, 1819-1841 at the NH Historical Society] In April 1819 Benjamin and John Clark of Exeter, clothiers and partners in trade and manufacturing transacting business under the name of Benjamin & John Clark, sued Richard York of Epping husbandman for ten dollars in regards to non-payment of a debt of $3.32. The case went to court in June and was postponed to 31 Jul where the Justice awarded $3.32 and costs of court to the Clarks. York appealed to the Court of Common Pleas and the following month it was found by the jury that "the said Richard York did not promise the plaintiff in manner & form as he has declared against him." [Rockingham Superior Court Case #47397] In the court papers he was once referred to as "Gentleman" and on another document was said to be from Brentwood rather than Epping. William Plumer, an Epping resident who was an early U.S. Congressman and Senator and Governor of New Hampshire, retired to his home in Epping and kept a written record of deaths in town. When Richard died Plumer wrote the following: "In early & middle life he followed the seas as a mariner: was captain of several vessels to & from the West Indies, & in the coasting trade. He was a peaceable, quiet man; but had sufficient firmness to maintain his own rights. He was a man of a fair character; a member of the congregational society. He did not acquire much property - but sufficient to maintain himself and family. He owned a small farm. He sunk to the grave, not by the violence of disease, but by debility, & the gradual decay of nature, December 14th, aged 78 years." [Plumer, p.191-2] His probate papers are online at ancestry.com: [Ancestry.com, New Hampshire, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1643-1982, Estate Papers, No 10391-10464, 1822, ] He wrote his will on 3 Dec 1821 and it was proved on 10 Jan 1822. The names of all of his living children, and some of his grandchildren, are in his will. His wife is not named in the will, having died a few years earlier. The name of his wife is either Seraph or Jerusha, depending on which copy of the original Brentwood Town record birth of their son Eliphalet in 1781 is used. Her name so far has not turned up anywhere else, and there is no evidence that she is the mother of any of his children other than Eliphalet. But all have been attached to her in this genealogy for now. There is no certainty about the order of birth of all of his children listed here. In his will he lists them in the order of: Richard, Daniel, Archibald, Anna, Harriet, Lucretia, Jerusha, and Ezekiel. Ezekiel gets more responsibilities than the others so may have been listed last for that reason, but the other children are presumably listed in order by age, with males before females.

Birth*	Daniel York was born after 1764.1
Death-Resided*	He died on 30 June 1835, at which time his residence was in Newmarket, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.2,3
	It is easy to confuse this Daniel with the Daniel who was son of Capt. Richard York, who was born about 1776 so was only 9-10 or so years different in age. But the fact that there is that ten year difference in age clearly separates them when looking at the fact that one enlisted, albeit underage, in the war in 1781 while the other's birth around 1775-6 is clear from subsequent census records. Also this one was living in Gilmanton in 1830 when his pension application was made, whereas the younger Daniel was living in Maine at that time. In 1781 he left home to join the Revolutionary Army as a drummer, and was under age at the time (presumably under 16.) When he returned he gave his discharge papers to his father and they were lost, which caused him some issues when he later applied for a pension. Daniel can't be located in either the 1790 or 1800 censuses. The Daniel in the 1800 census of Brentwood is the one who was son of Capt. Richard York. There were four Daniel Yorks in the 1810 census located in Maine and New Hampshire and through process of elimination it seems likely that he was the one living in Alfred, Maine. He would have been about 46 years old at the time, and there was a male aged 45+ in that Alfred family. In addition there were four males under 10, one male 26-44, 1 female under 10, and one female 26-44. Next door was the household of his first cousin Nathaniel Folsom York, son of his uncle John. In 1815 he was apparently living in Exeter when his daughter Dorothy took sick in Gilmanton. The Selectmen of Gilmanton wrote to the town of Exeter to get reimbursed for the money they had expended on Dorothy's care. See her record for further details. [Warning out notice in New Hampshire Archives collection.] Why Dorothy was living in Gilmanton is unknown, but this may explain how he ended up there after this point. It does put into question whether or not he really is the Daniel York who was living in Alfred in 1810, but if that was not him, he is not otherwise accounted for in the 1810 census. He was living in Gilmanton, N.H. when he applied for a pension in 1830. In those pension papers it states that he was a drummer in Capt. Potter's Company and Col. Dearborn's Regiment of the New Hampshire line. But, there is a note that says "The name of Daniel York cannot be found among those returned on the Records of the New Hampshire line as entitled to Bounty Land of the U. States, or to whom a Land Warrant has issued." On 26 Jun 1829 Robert Hollon [Holland?] of Rockingham County [no town stated] testified that he was a Private in Capt. Amos Emerson's Company in Col. Joseph Cilley's Regiment and that he well knew Daniel York who "served in the second Regiment in the Continental establishment, in the Revolution war which Regiment was Commanded by Colonel Henry Dearborn and that he the said Daniel York served the term of two years or more." Further testimony into Daniel's war service came on 3 Oct 1829 when war veteran James Quimby of Meredith testified that in the spring of 1781 he was home from the war and in Brentwood helping recuit new soldiers for the cause and enlisted Daniel York "who was then an inhabitant of said Brentwood for the term of three years or during the war." He continued, "York was mustered and joined the Army and did not return until the war was over as I went to Exeter with the said York and five others of whom I enlisted for to pass muster they all passed muster and marched off to join the Army. Among the others I enlisted was a Robert York a Brother of the said Daniel now dead." On 15 Feb 1830 Daniel made his own deposition in his pension case. "I Daniel York of Gilmanton in the County of Strafford in the State of New Hampshire do hereby declare that I enlisted in the Continental Line of the Army of the revolution for the term of three years or during the war as I choose when I joined the Army in 1781 in March I think and continued in its service until its termination when I was honourably discharged and my discharge I gave to my father when I returned and I now cannot find it among his papers he being dead at which Period I was a drummer in Captain Potters Company in Col. Dearborns Regiment of the New Hampshire line and I also declare that I never have received a Certificate for the reward of Eighty dollars to which I was entitled under a resolve of Congress passed the 15th of May 1778. And I further declare that I was not on the 15th day of March 1828 on the Pension list of the United States. [signed] Daniel York." Over the next few months he received letters from the pension authorities asking for more information, to which he replied three times as follows: "...some time in the month of October (following the declaration of peace the same year having been retained in the service several Months after peace was declared) I was regularly and Honourably discharged at West Point New York by Col. Henry Dearborn which discharge I gave to my father when I returned home and now cannot find it he being dead. Gilmanton April 16th 1830 [signed] Daniel York." "I Daniel York of Gilmanton depose and say that I was young and under age and Controll of my father and he drew my wages after I was discharged consequently I don't know by whom the pay was received. If I ever did know his name it is so long since I cannot recollect and my father is dead. June 21st 1830 [signed] Daniel York." And one last deposition added on 16 Aug 1830: "I Daniel York of Gilmanton in the County of Strafford & State of New Hampshire depose and say that my Fathers name was Richard York [signed] Daniel York" Other depositions were included amongst his pension papers testifying to his character and residence in Gilmanton. On 20 May 1830 Charles Leavitt of Gilmanton deposed that he has been "more or less" acquainted with Daniel York of Gilmanton for eleven years and that "he is a poor honest inoffensive man & a man of truth & veracity so far as has ever come to my knowledge." The next day Thomas Cogswell of Gilmanton testified that he was well acquainted with Daniel York of Gilmanton, having lived within a mile and a half of him for seven or eight years, and he had done "considerable business with him that is I have occasionally had writs & Executions against him I being a Deputy Sheriff and I always found him to be an honest inoffensive poor industrious man and a man of truth. I never heard of his character being impeached for truth and Veracity and believe it to be unimpeachable." Finally, on 20 May 1830 William Peaslee of Gilmanton said that he had been acquainted with Daniel "for a great number of years...and have always considered him as a man of truth and veracity and never heard it doubted." [All pension papers seen in their originals on ancestry.com] On a list of NH Revolutionary War pensioners who received benefits under the Congressional pension act of 15 May 1828 he appears as living in Strafford County receiving an $88 annual allowance for his service as a musician in Dearborn's regiment. He was placed on the pension roll 11 Dec 1830. [NH Provincial and State Papers, 30:388] His date of death appears on a pension roll and on a petition of his son-in-law Ebenezer H. Hanscom of Newmarket for administration of his estate. At the time of his death Daniel was living in Newmarket. Hanscom's petition reads, in part, "Ebenezer H. Hanscom of New Market in said County of Rockingham Blacksmith that Daniel York late of said Newmarket died intestate on the thirtieth day of June A.D. 1835 leaving little or no property except an arreanage(sp?) of pension due at his decease - that no one has yet applied for administration on said York's estate - that your petitioner is an heir at Law of said deceased by marriage with the daughter of said Daniel York - that said York left no son in said County, or any heir who will probably ever apply for administration on his estate - therefore your petitioner prays administration may be granted to him. [Dated] New Market, Decr 14, 1836. [Signed] Ebenezer H. Hanscom. Ebenezer, with Joseph Hanscom and and John R. Sandborn, gave bond for the administration of the estate on 27 Dec 1836. [Rockingham Co. Probate file 13259] The names of his wife and children, excepting his daughters Dorothy and Deborah, have yet to be discovered. Going by the census of 1810, assuming that is him in Alfred, Maine, he had four young sons and one young daughter, all under 10, at that time. Based on the claim of his son-in-law Hanscom above if Daniel did have any sons none lived in Rockingham County in 1836.

Burial*	He was buried in Corinthian Cemetery in Corinth, Penobscot County, MaineG.4
	Archibald grew up in Brentwood or Epping, NH and moved to Maine at some point before his 1814 marriage to his first wife in Belfast, Maine. Aside from the uniqueness of his first name in the York family, proof that the Belfast man is the same person as mentioned in the 1821 will of his father Richard of Epping is strengthened by the fact that his brother Daniel was living in Belfast in 1823 when he petitioned the probate court regarding his father's estate. Archibald's first wife's death does not appear in the published Belfast vital records, but presumably occurred between the birth of their daughter Maria in 1816 and his second marriage in 1825. He was living in Belfast when the 1820 census was taken and the demographics of his household are a bit confusing. The census sheet does not have column headers in it but based on how each column is defined in the instructions it suggest that his family had 1 male 26-45, 2 males 45+, 2 females 10-16, and 1 female 45+. Given that he had two daughters under the age of ten at that time the data should probably be shifted by one, which would change it to 1 male 16-25, 2 males 26-45, 2 females under 10, and 1 female 26-45. This would make more sense, and would account for his wife, who was presumably still alive, and his two daughters Fanny and Maria. The other two males are likely other relatives or farm workers. They were living in Monroe, Maine when his first child by his second wife was born there in 1826. The 1830 census of Monroe shows the family with 2 males under 5, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, 1 female 19-29, which sounds exactly correct. The 1840 census of Monroe shows 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 2 males 10-14, 1 male 50-59, 1 female under 5, 2 females 5-9, and 1 female 40-49. Laura would have been only 35 at this point so appears to have been checked off in the wrong column. His family appears in the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Charleston, Maine. He was a farmer in both censuses. In 1850 he was on land worth $800, and in 1860 his real estate was worth $1200 and his personal estate $525. His widow Laura moved to Charlestown, Mass. before her own death in 1874, presumably to live with one of their children.

Death*	Anna York died before December 1821. She was deceased by the time her father wrote his will on 3 Dec 1821.
	On her marriage record her name was Nancy, but in her father's 1821 will she was called Anna. She was Nancy when in Sep 1809 she was baptized as an adult into the Brentwood Baptist Church. [First Baptist Church of Brentwood Records, 1771-1974, unpaged manuscript (p.12?) at the NH Historical Society] Nothing has yet been found about her or her husband after their marriage. Her father's will leaves a bequest of one single dollar to the "children" of his deceased daughter Anna "to be divided equally among them" so she must have had more than one child. No obvious George Fuller can be found in the 1800 or 1810 censuses other than the one in Exeter that has only one older male who is very likely his father. Those censuses don't report another male who could be the younger George. No deeds from either George or Anna/Nancy Fuller are in the Rockingham Co. deed index online. There is one Nancy Fuller but she is the wife of a different Fuller, her maiden name being Odlin. A generic search on ancestry for an appropriate George Fuller in this time and place do not come up with any additional information. George Sr. died in Hartland, Maine, so that area might be worth exploring for the younger George, although there are no Yorks in the early censuses there through 1830.

In Jun 1809 Harriet was baptized as an adult into the Brentwood Baptist Church. [First Baptist Church of Brentwood Records, 1771-1974, unpaged manuscript (p.12?) at the NH Historical Society] The parentage of Moses Davis hasn't been determined yet. There was a Moses Davis family in Epping at the time, but that Moses married a Nancy Norris. he was son of Moses and Anna (Folsom) Davis and is in the Folsom Genealogy (1938) 1:153-4. It does say that he married (1) Nancy Norris, with no mention of a second wife, so perhaps Harriet was a second wife? On 5 Jan 1828 Moses Davis of Epping, yeoman, sold for $550 to Ezekiel York of Brentwood, yeoman, 35 acres of land in Epping, beginning at the northeasterly side of the road near the house where I now live, westerly of a marked stone in the wall on the line between Brentwood and Epping, then north to the Watchic River, then west along the river to land of Ebenezer Smith, then south to the aforementioned road, with the barn thereon. Also half an acre of land with the dwelling house thereon northeast of the road and on next to land of Hezekiah Smith. Witnesses were William Stearns and Samuel Taylor, and the deed was signed by both Moses Davis and Harriet Davis.

Birth*	Robert York was born circa 1750.1
Death*	He died on 21 April 1821 probably in Brentwood, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.2
	In the Revolutionary War pension papers of his brother Daniel, who enlisted towards the end of the war in 1781, it says that he enlisted at the same time as his brother Robert. This is the evidence that places him in this particular family. See Daniel's own record for the evidence placing him here. The town of Brentwood abated his taxes at the 1793 Town Meeting. [Brentwood Town Records, 1:518, ] There is a record of a Mrs. York, wife of Robert York, being warned out of the town of Epping on 2 Nov 1799. She had been living in the town of Epping for five months and eighteen days at the time she was warned out. [Rockingham County Superior Court File #18299] One might assume this refers to this Robert York, but as there is no other evidence yet found that mentions a wife or children for him it seems more likely that this is Molly York, wife of Robert York of Lee, who filed for divorce against her husband in April of 1790. No record has been found stating whether or not the divorce was granted so if it wasn't she would likely stlil be called "Mrs. York" but could be expected to be living away from her husband. On 23 Jul 1803 the selectmen of Brentwood published the following notice in the U.S. Oracle of Portsmouth dated 26 Jul. "Robert York, a poor person late under the care of the town of Brentwood, County of Rockingham, having absconded from said town – this is to forbid all persons from harboring or trusting him, as they would avoid penalties of the law – No debts of his contracting will be paid by the Town." He may have been living in East Kingston, N.H. in 1810 when the town's accounts for that year have payment of $1.50 for "Warning out Robert York & his Family." [East Kingston Town Records, 3:253, ] He began receiving a $96 annual pension on 27 Nov 1818 for service as a Private in the NH Continental line during the Revolutionary War. He was 68 at the time, and this is the roll that gives his death date of 21 Apr 1821. [NH Provincial and State Papers, 30: 292-3] There was a Robert York who served during the War of 1812 in Capt. Nathan Stanley's Company, Col. Denny McCobb's Regiment, enlisting on 11 Apr 1814 for the duration of the war. [Potter's Military History of NH, 81-5] This is unlikely to be him, however, judging by the following paragraph. On 7 Apr 1819 the Selectmen of Brentwood judged Robert to be non compos mentis due to irresponsible behavior. Two days earlier three local Brentwood men gave their report on the situation: "To the Honorable Daniel Gookin Esquire Judge of Probate of Wills for the county of Rockingham. Thomas S. Ranney, William Morrill and Joseph Graves all inhabitants of the town of Brintwood, Humbly Shews That Robert York an inhabitant and pauper of said town of Brintwood is in our judgment a person destitute of those faculties of the mind which are necessary to enable him to take a provident care of himself and ought in our opinion to be considered a non compos person. That he the said York is now and has been for ten years previous to this time, chargable to the town of Brintwood to a large amount. That from his earliest days to the time of his becoming chargeable to the town of Brintwood he foolishly and imprudently squandered and wasted his daily earnings. That by the provisions of a late law of the Congress of the United States the said Robert York is now entitled to monthly wages during the remainder of his life, and That if the said York is permitted to control and use as he pleases the monies which he may hereafter from time to time receive from the Treasury of the United States; we believe he will immediately upon the receipt thereof squander and waste the sum without any real benefit to himself and thereby endanger and expose the said town of Brintwood to the charge and expense of his future maintenance and supply. We therefore pray that your Honor would appoint some suitable person or persons as guardian or guardians to the said Robert York agreeably to the Law of this State in such cases made and provided." Signed in Brentwood April 5th 1819. Josiah Dudley of Brentwood was appointed guardian and for the next two years took charge of Robert's monies and expenses. Robert had been receiving a pension for his Revolutionary War service in the amount of $96 per year. In the final inventory of his estate taken on 6 Nov 1821 all that was included was his soldier's pension certificate valued at $96 annually.
