Birth*	John Carr York was born circa 1751 in Epping, New HampshireG.1,2
Marriage*	He married Sarah T. (?) circa 1774.3
Death*	John Carr York died before 9 April 1814. His widow Sarah deeded land on that day.4
	There is no direct evidence that John York was his father. There is also a Jonathan Young York who appears in Exeter about the same time who could be a brother. Middle names were still rare at this time so two men, both with middle names, could be siblings, despite the fact that one is John and the other Jonathan. These two, along with Capt. Richard York, are all now placed as children of John York primarily because that is the most likely family from which they might have come. Their 'brother' Nathaniel Folsom York - another with a middle name - was clearly son of John and his wife Sarah Folsom, daughter of Nathaniel Folsom, and all four of these brothers first appeared on the Exeter tax rolls between 1768 and 1773. John York himself doesn't appear in the earlier tax records of Exeter, but he does in 1773-74, so must have decided to move there after his sons did. John Carr York, husbandman, shows up in Exeter as early as 1772 when on 29 July he was deeded land in Deerfield, N.H. by Theophilus Smith, Esq., of Exeter. Theophilus was son and residuary legatee of his late father by the same name and payment for the land was “for and in consideration of the services heretofore done for my said father” by York “according to an indenture of apprenticeship made between them” as well as an additional 40 shillings. The deed was for one third part of land in the Parish of Deerfield in the township of Nottingham, being lot #17 in the 6th range of lots about 66 acres, laid out and drawn to the original right of Ezekiel Walker and now lies in common and undivided. Witnesses were William Gilman Jr. and Noah Emery. [Rockingham Deeds, 103:533-4] Theophilus Smith the elder died 26 Feb 1772 in Exeter. His will and probate papers on the ancestry.com database "New Hampshire, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1643-1982" have been examined and there are no mention of Yorks. John Carr York apparently was indentured with the elder Theophilus Smith and then as part of his reward for the indenture he received the land in Deerfield. He would likely have been a young adult at the time, which gives more evidence that he would have been born around 1751. He didn't hang onto this Deerfield land for long. On 18 Dec 1772 he sold it to Simon Marston of Deerfield, Gentleman, for 33 pounds. Witnesses were Elizabeth Parker and William Parker, Jr. York signed the deed and acknowledged it on the same day. It wasn't recorded until 23 Jul 1777. [Rockingham Deeds, 109-362-3] A few days later, on 26 Dec 1777, Abigail Folsom of Exeter, widow, and administratrix of the estate of John Folsom late of Exeter, yeoman, decd, intestate deeded to John Carr York of Exeter, yeoman, all the rights that the deceased John Folsom had at the time of his death in a saw mill and grist mill standing on the upper mill privilege below the Great Bridge (so called) in Exeter, which mills stand below the mills of Col. Peter Gilman and the privilege of the stream and mill yard to the said sawmill and grist mill and all of his right in the upper dam below the said bridge, plus all the mill works, gears, stones etc. Witnesses were Theophilus Smith and Samuel Harris. [Rockingham Deeds, 108:534-5] Abigail (Smith) Folsom was the daughter of Theophilus Smith for whom John Carr York was an apprentice as mentioned above. The next day he took our a mortage for $200 with John Phillips of Exeter, Esq. to purchase the mill rights, and York's wife Sarah released her right of dower. John signed and Sarah made her mark the same day. Witnesses were Abigail Folsom and William Parker. [Rockingham Deeds, 110:1] Could this be a clue that his wife Sarah was a Folsom, daughter of John and Abigail (Smith) Folsom? The Folsom genealogy does not assign this couple a daughter Sarah so there is apparently no obvious evidence for it. He first appears on the Exeter town tax list in 1772, and is there again in 1773 and 1774, but records past that point haven't been checked yet. His tax rate was among the lowest in town in those years. He also paid a highway tax for his district, which in 1772 was described as "“Beginning at the easterly side of the great bridge from thence down by the water side to a small bridge near Daniel Grant’s House and up the road leading to Hampton as Capt. Jethro Pearson’s house also the road leading to Portsmouth as far as Stratham line.” He paid the same tax in 1773-4 and was clearly in the same district with the only difference in the description was the last house. In 1773 it was the widow Sarah Connor's house instead of Capt. Jethro Pearson and in 1774 it was the widow Sarah Pearson's. [Exeter Town Records, 1: 495, 524, 568, 581, 603, 636, records start at ] He is likely the John York who was one of many Exeter inhabitants who signed a petition to the NH House taken up on 27 Mar 1779 asking for a change in an existing 1755 law relating to parishes set off from Exeter. That law stated that adult residents of the new parishes needed to register with their respective town clerks if they wanted to be taxed to support the minister of their new parish instead of the minister of the town of Exeter. As many individuals neglected to do this they saw it as a hardship that needed rectifying. [NH Provincial and State Papers, 11:660] In the 1790 census of Exeter his family consisted of 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, and 5 females On 27 May 1790 Jonathan Young York of Exeter, yeoman, deeded for the price of 4 pounds and 4 shillings to John Carr York of Exeter, millwright, about 10 1/2 acres of land in Exeter on the road leading from the great bridge to Daniel Grant’s house, bounded by the road, James Rundlet's home lot, land of John Carr York, and land that Jonathan Young York had purchased of John Phillips, Esq. Sarah York his wife released her dower. Both signed their own names. Oliver Peabody and Francis Peabody witnessed his signature while Caleb Mitchell and Joseph Young witnessed hers. The deed was recorded on 24 Mar 1795. [Rockingham Deeds, 138:395 On 28 Nov 1792 John Carr York of Exeter, yeoman, took out a mortage on one of his mill properties with Thomas Moulton of Hampton Falls, husbandman. Witnesses were Mary Bennett and Oliver Peabody. [Rockingham Deeds, 133:129] On 2 Dec 1792 James Hackett of Kittery, shipwright, deeded for 76 pounds to John Carr York of Exeter, millwright, one half of a sawmill on the north side of the Exeter River below the Great Bridge being the same sawmill which Eliphalet Ladd and said Hackett built on the privilege formerly belonging to one Wilson with half the mill privilege both above and below the dam belonging to the same saw mill and also half the saws and other implements. Witnesses were John Rand and Samuel Wallis, and Elizabeth Hackett also signed the deed. [Rockingham Deeds, 133:178] On 7 Mar 1795 James Hackett of Kittery, Esquire, sold for 90 pounds to John Carr York of Exeter, millwright. 7½ acres of land in Exeter bounded by land he sold Samuel Gilman on the road leading from the great bridge to Grant’s, land of Josiah Coffin Smith, land he sold Kingsley Hall, land of Jonathan Young York, land of John Carr York, reserving out of said land the land on which Caleb Mitchell’s dwelling house now stands, being all the remaining part of the lot he purchased from John Shaw. Witnesses were Amos Paul and Elihu Fernald. Elizabeth Hackett, wife of James, releases dower. [Rockingham Deeds, 138:394] In early 1796 he was one of many signers of a petition for a new road to be laid out in Kensington. [Kensington Town Records, 2:36] On 7 Feb 1797 Eliphalet Ladd of Portsmouth, Esq., sold for 110 pounds to John Carr York and John York both of Exeter, millwrights, one half of a saw mill on the east side of the river at the lower falls in Exeter being the same he purchased of James Haskell. Witnesses were Joseph Swasy and Daniel Connor. [Rockingham Deeds, 149:155] This John York is likely his son, as a later deed from a John York of Exeter millwright specifically mentions "my Father John Carr York." On 30 Jun 1798 John Carr York of Exeter, millwright, sold for $33 to Daniel Clark of Exeter, trader, land in Exeter, the same lot which said York purchased of Samuel Rust and Jeremiah Calph and was lately owned by James Calph, bounded by bridge near Kinsley Hill’s shop that leads to Benjamin Boardman’s oil mill, then back to the road that leads to the gaol, to land owned by said Clark, then to the river or Clark’s floom, to his fulling mill, being all the land he bought of Rust and Calfe, more or less. Witnesses were Moses Clark and Samuel Rowe. John signed the deed, which was received and recorded more than twenty years later on 8 Jun 1819. [Rockingham Deeds, 223:166] The 1800 census of Exeter records him as having 2 males under 10, 2 males 16-25, 1 male 45+, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25, and 1 female 45+. On 26 May 1800 John Carr York of Exeter, carpenter, purchased for $240 from Daniel Clark of Exeter, gentleman, land in Exeter bounded westerly by Prison Street, northerly by land of Jonathan Young York, easterly by land of John C. York which is lately mortgaged to Samuel Gilman and John York, and southerly by the above mentioned John C. York., containing 26 2/3 rods with the house and buildings and also his buildings on the west side of Prison Street and the land they stand on. Witnesses were Samuel Rowe and John York Junior. John C. York signed and acknowledged the deed on May 30th. [Rockingham Deeds, 155:257] York apparently did not pay this $240 because a few years of legal issues ensued relating to this original $240. Four case files in Rockingham Superior Court describe the process. The first issue to come to court was John Carr York suing Daniel and Moses Clark of Exeter, traders, on 27 Jun 1801, for $5000 relating to a trespass that occurred the previous May 23rd. On that date said Daniel and Moses "with force of arms, seized, took, and detained certain goods and chattels, to wit one gun of the value of twenty dollars, one chest and its contents of the value of five hundred dollars, one writing desk and its contents of the value of two thousand dollars, one small writing desk and its contents of the value of six dollars, six green chairs of the value of ten dollars, one saddle and one bridle of the value of eleven dollars, one dictionary of the value of one dollar, one bottle & ink of the value of fifty cents and one cider barrel of the value of one dollar, the property of the said John then and there found, and carried away the same, and converted and disposed thereof to their own use and other wrongs to the said John..." The parties appeared in court and agreed to refer judgment on the decision to a committee of Ephraim Robinson, Benjamin Clark Gilman, and Samuel Gilman. On December 1st the committee came back with its decision stating that the Clarks were to pay York $27.58 to cover damages and court costs. [Rockingham Superior Court File 20082] When the Clarks took property from John Carr York on May 23rd they also took property belonging to Sally York of Exeter, spinster, as she sued at the same time as John did. It is not certain who this Sally is but it seems likely that she was living in the same household and when the Clarks took some property they took things belonging to her as well. John Carr York's wife was Sarah but given that Sally was referred to as 'spinster' it's more likely that this was an unmarried woman. She could be a sister, daughter, aunt or mother. The items they took were listed as "one low chest of drawers containing one feather bed and other articles and one Rose coverlet" valued at $100. Sally sued for $200 on 27 Jun 1801, after which the same committee of three men found for Sally in the amount of $11.24. [Rockingham County Superior Court File 20483] While the committee was deliberating on the above case Daniel Clark, apparently realizing that seizing York's property on his own initiative might not have been the best course of action, decided to turn to the courts himself. On 21 May 1801 Clark return to Rockingham Superior Court to sue York for $2000 due to the original $240 debt. On 23 Jul 1801 Deputy Sheriff Moses Clark (who may or may not be the same Moses Clark sued by York in the case above) attached a long list of personal items, livestock and some real estate pursuant to the writ. The list won't be included here as it is hard to read at times but for anyone interested in the personal belongings of this individual it's worth a look. On September 12th these items and livestock were appraised by three local men (Samuel Gilman, Benjamin Lampson and Enoch Rowe) to a total value of $91.11 and the items were transferred to Daniel Clark's possession in partial payment of the debt. In addition some land belonging to York was transferred to Clark as well. One piece of land with a house, containing about twenty rods lay on the north side of Prison Lane in Exeter. Another piece of land on the west side of Prison Lane contained about six rods with a barn and hog pen. This was land that York purchased from James Rundlett. There were also three other small portions of land totalling about 100 rods adjoining the other land on Prison Lane that John Carr York purchased from Jonathan Young York, it being land that J.Y. York had purchased from John Phillips. All of this land was appraised to a value of $133.33. On 20 Jan 1802 the court found for the plaintiff in the amount of $257.40, giving Clark some interest payments but nothing close to the $2000 sum he originally sued for. With other costs of court totalling about $36 the court ordered him to pay or for him to be arrested. Partial payment was taken from the possession, livestock and land that had previously been transferred to Daniel Clark. On February 9th Deputy Sheriff Moses Clark arrested him and took him to jail in Portsmouth. No further documentation on this case exists. [Rockingham Superior Court Files 20089, 20907] On 10 Oct 1800 John Carr York and John York, both of Exeter husbandmen, were sued by Elisha Lougee of Sanbornton, "joiner alias husbandman," for non-payment of a $104.24 note dated the previous 15 July. Samuel Gilman provided bail. [Rockingham Superior Court file 19509]. The second John York is likely his son. On 10 Feb 1802 John Carr York, carpenter, and son John Jr., laborer, both of Exeter, were sued by Mary Smith of Exeter, singlewoman, for non-payment of a $79.23 debt incurred on 24 Dec 1799. The case file does not include documentation as to the outcome. [Rockingham Superior Court file 21961] On 22 Mar 1802 John Carr York of Exeter, Millwright, quitclaimed property for $1000 to Samuel Gilman, Gentleman, and "my son" John York, Millwright, both of Exeter. Property in Exeter including a saw mill and grist mill with the privilege of the stream and millyard that went with it. Also his right to the upper dam below the great bridge, plus one half of a saw mill below the great bridge with its privileges, plus all of the mechanical implements pertaining to both mills. In addition it mentions a seven acre tract of land in Exeter, being the same mortgaged by me to the said Gilman and John York by deed dated Jany 11th, 1799. Witnesses William B. Reed and R. Cutts Shannon. Sarah York, wife of John Carr York and mother of John York, relinquished her right of dower, which was witnessed by Josiah Nelson and James Grant. John Carr York signed and Sarah York made her mark. [Rockingham Deeds, 162:60-1] On 9 Apr 1814 Sarah York of Exeter, widow, deeded land to Samuel Rowe of Exeter, trader, for $18, land that had come to her by right of dower from the estate of her late husband John C. York. This was for 3/4 of an acre of land and buildings on the east side of Prison Street in Exeter, bounded southerly and easterly by land of Joseph S. Gilman, northerly by land of Jonathan Y. York. Sarah acknowledged the deed on the same day and made her mark. Witnesses were Joseph Tilton Jr. and Samuel Gilman. [Rockingham Deeds, 206:1]

[Rockingham Superior Court file 26766] According to their private family record that gives the births of all of his children they had an unnamed child who was stillborn at some point between the birth of Edward in 1823 and his first wife's death. That record also gives places of birth for most of his children, and based on that we know that they lived in the following Maine towns in these years: Limerick 1809, Brunswick 1811-12, Topsham 1814-16, Lisbon 1821-23, Brunswick 1826-29, Waterford 1832-33, Topsham 1836 and Brunswick 1838-43.

Baptism*	Abigail Melcher was baptized in July 1780 in Kensington, Rockingham County, New HampshireG. According to this source her parentage is only a possibility and is not proven.1
Marriage*	She married first John York, son of John Carr York and Sarah T. (?), on 28 December 1802 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG. He was from Exeter and she was from Kensington at the time of their marriage.2,3,4,5
Death*	Abigail Melcher died before September 1824 when John York remarried. NH Families in 1790 suggests she was the Abigail "Eliza" York who died 7 Feb 1826 but John York's family records clearly show that she must have already been dead by that time.1

Birth*

Charles York was born in February 1803. The family record on which this birth is recorded has a place name penciled under the date, as is done with many of his siblings. This is presumably for his place of birth but as the paper is torn it can't be read in its entirety. It appears to begin with Kenne or Kensi, which could be either Kennebunk, Maine or Kensington, NH. The family lived in Exeter in 1800 and Brunswick, Maine in 1810.1

Death*

He died in 1832.
