	FindaGrave page: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100878578/martha_york.
	The name on her marriage record to Benjamin Coffin York was "Mrs. Martha Cummings," signifying that she was likely the widow of a man named Cummings. Circumstantial evidence points to her being the Martha Weeks widow of Samuel Cummings of New Hampton, NH. Samuel died a few months before Martha remarried to Benjamin, some of his siblings were associated with Holderness, and, more significantly, the Juliann Chase mentioned in Samuel's will (no relationshiop given, but seemingly an adopted daughter or similar arrangement) has on her death record parents' names of Benjamin C. York and Martha Weeks.

	Benjamin is placed here as a son of Joseph York of Northwood based on no evidence whatsoever other than the fact that he was from Northwood like Joseph and of age to be his son. While it is certainly possible, even likely, that he is Joseph's son no one should assume it is proven. If he is Joseph's son it implies that Joseph had a first wife before Sarah Watson, as they married in 1789. The 1790 census shows him with one male under 16, though, so that might be Benjamin. He is found in the 1810 census of Northwood with 1 male under 10, 1 male 16-25 and 1 female 16-25, which sounds right for a man who was just married three years earlier.

Birth*

Robert York was born circa 1789-1792 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.

The following ad appears in the New Hampshire Gazette of Portsmouth on 31 Dec 1805, p.3: "One Cent Reward. Ranaway from the Subscriber in the fifteenth inst. an indentured apprecntice boy, named ROBERT YORK, sixteen years of age, light complexion, and light hair--all persons are forbid harboring or trusting said apprentice as they would avoid the penalties of the law,--any person who will return said apprentice shall receive the above reward and no charges paid. DANIEL SMITH, Exeter, December 16, 1805." There is no known Robert yet in the genealogy born about 1789 but he likely belongs to one of the Exeter families. Below is another newspaper article, this time from the same newspaper of 13 Jun 1820, p.3, that likely pertains to the same Robert, although his age would have this one born in 1792, not 1789: Thirty Dollars Reward. Deserted from the Garrison at Fort Constitution, on the night of the 3d inst., ROBERT YORK, a private of Company M, 2d Batallion Corps of Artillery, (N.D.) Said York was born in the town of Exeter, State of New Hampshire, twenty-eight years of age, five feet nine inches high, light complexion, grey eyes, brown hair, and by occupation a Farmer. The above reward will be paid on his delivery at any military post of the United States or confinement in any jail, proper notice being given. THOMAS JONES BEALL. Capt. Corps Artillery. Fort Constitution, June 12, 1820."

Burial*	He was buried in the Saint Augustine National Cemetery in St. Augustine, St. John's County, FloridaG.2
	FindaGrave page: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/3965645/david-york.
	There was a David York from New Hampshire who was a soldier during the Second Seminole War who lost his life in a battle in Florida in 1836. He would likely have been in his 20s at the time and at present we know of no David York born in the period of the 1810s or thereabouts who could be this individual. The article appeared in the Farmer's Cabinet of Amherst, NH on 3 June 1876, p.3, originally reported by the Boston Transcript, and read: "From Tampa Bay.—We conversed with a gentleman this morning who left Tampa Bay on the 27th April. He informs us that Lieutenant Wheelock, who enlisted a company of mounted dragoons in Boston, for the Western frontier service—but was ordered to Florida—left Camp Georgia, with his men, on the 27th, for the forks of the Withlacoochee, under Gen. Scott, to join Gen. Smith. The dragoons are not mounted, but equipped as infantry. They had had one engagement with the Indians, and fought with great bravery—each—"on his own hook"—rifle fashion. One of them only was killed—David York of New Hampshire—who, we understand, has a brother in Boston. The dragoons are commanded by Capt. Warton, but he is sick; and the command has devolved upon Lieut. Wheelock. Four hundred and twelve of the friendly Indians had sailed from Tampa Bay to Red River." General Scott was likely Winfield Scott, and General Smith was probably Persifor Frazer Smith. Camp Georgia was probably a temporary military encampment. Numerous such camps were established throughout Florida as staging points for military operations against the Seminoles. The Withlacoochee is a River in Florida. Questioning the AI ChatGPT about Lieurenant Wheelock provided some interesting context: Lieutenant Thompson Baxter Wheelock was an officer in the United States Army during the Second Seminole War. Born in 1801, he graduated from West Point and was commissioned as a lieutenant. He initially recruited a company of mounted dragoons in Boston, intended for Western frontier service, but was redirected to Florida to participate in the conflict against the Seminole Indians. In 1836, after participating in the Battle of Micanopy, Lieutenant Wheelock tragically took his own life at the age of 35. His death highlights the severe mental and physical toll that the challenging conditions of the Florida campaigns imposed on soldiers during that period. His service and untimely death are noted in historical records, underscoring the hardships faced by military personnel in the harsh environments of the Florida frontier during the Second Seminole War. Given that Wheelock recruited in Boston, and David had a brother in Boston, he may have been living with his brother at the time of enlistment. Where in NH he originally was from is presently unknown. His specific date of death of April 1 is noted in military documents that further say he died of wounds received on March 31st at the "Cove of Withlacoochie," which was the area of the large Seminole settlement and the site of several skirmishes like this one. He was a private in the 2nd Regiment of Dragoons. Regarding his Boston brother, the 1836 Boston city directory has two Yorks. One is James York who was boarding at 13 Myrtle Street and the other was Thomas York, a laborer who lived on A Street. Neither of these two Yorks can be clearly identified yet either.1

	One of the newspapers that reported their marriage read: "In Shapleigh, Mr. Nicholas York, jun., to Miss Sally Applebee, of the same place, after a long and tedious courtship of 12 days." Nicholas moved from Shapleigh - the part of town later set off as Acton - to Newfield, Maine about 1812, based on census and tax records. He built a small house on the 15-acre parcel of land that had been purchased by his father Nicholas Sr. After his father's death he acquired title to the land. This land on Sanborn Road in Newfield remained in the family for more than a century and a half. No record of either Nicholas or Sally has been found after the 1850 census. The births of their children are recorded in Newfield but some may have taken place back in Shapleigh before they moved.4,5

Birth*

Eunice York was born in 1790.1

Eunice and her first husband Elias were living in Newfield, Maine when the 1810 census was taken, but by the time their son Elias was born that December they were in Brighton, Maine. Although Elias, a joiner, appears on the Newfield tax rolls for 1811 and 1812. By 1814 he had died while serving in the U.S. Army. He left an estate which included his homestead in western Newfield, a cow, a heifer, four sheep, and his chest of joiner's tools. Eunice and her second husband Moses Foye might have been living in Bangor, Maine in the 1850 census.2
