2630	Found his name (spelled McQuown) on a list of petitioners from Rowan Co ., NC along with Georg e Howard. Petition to His Excellency Josiah Mar tin Esquire Governor and Commander in Chief i n and over the Province o f North Carolina asking him to have an amendment of the act of Assem bl y so far as to tolerate the Presbyterian Publication. (Concerning marr ying of the member s of the Presbyterian Church). From Four Generations of McKaughans in America: There are two s tories written or tol d about Hugh's life. One story states that he le ft Phoebe and the children when their twins , Jesse Alfred and Forreste r were small, presumbly to find a better place for them to live . The t wins were born on May 1, 1815. It was told that he went to Tesas to re locate near re latives, prehaps his niece, Jane Mercer Brooks Simpson, d aughter of his sister, Rebecca McKau ghan Brooks. A letter from Archib ald's son, John Wesley McKaughan, to one of his children re lates that t he family heard from his grandfather (Hugh) two or three times in the n ext few ye ars and then no more, so assumed dead around 1820. The other story relates that Hugh was known to have bought land in 1816 i n Pulaski Co., Kentu cky. While there, it is stated that he married Na ncy Riddle in 1820; then moved to Texas t o settle near his niece. Div orces were practically unheard of in this era. If there were gr ounds f or divorce, only the rich and/or influential could afford them. Whethe r or not he eve r legally divorced Phebe or just deserted his family is n ot known. Prehaps if the latter i s true, it wwas just easier for Pheb e to tell her children that their father was dead than t o try to expla in the divorce/desertion. Book 23, page 40: On 11 Sep 1812, Hugh McKaughan -- no wife signs -- l ets John Cecil (both o f Rowan Co., NC) have 75 acres on Rich Fork of A bbott's Creek next Rachel Cecil, Hoseph Alber tson & ---- Collet, for 1 00 pounds, witnessed by John Wayman & Thomas Cecil & proved by the l at ter in Feb 1814. (Said Hugh McKaughan bought this of Sherwood Kennedy) . Hugh reared his family in Guilford Co., NC but went to Texas which port ion was then Mexico . He wrote his son Archibald from Natchitoces, LA o n the border of Texas. A little later wor d was received that he was de ad. In a note from Raymond Peace, editor of "The Descendants of Silas Peace ": In the settling o f the estate of George Whitefield Pope, daughter, P hebe McKaughan, was not taken apart from h er husband as was her sister . This indicates that Hugh McKaughan is deceased. Date is 5 Oc t 1819 . He was on the tax rolls in Texas in 1845 - from Cuz of Sorts by M inniebell McKaughan P erkins From CUZ of Sorts: HUGH McKAUGHAN, named after his Uncle Hugh Mc Kaughan born in Pennsy lvania, went with his parents to what is now Sul livan County, Tennessee after the Revolutiona ry War. He went to Pulas ki County, Kentucky around 1800 with his parents where he was grante d 2 00 acres of land on the East Side of the south fork of the Cumberland R iver. He apparentl y kept his land; but he went to North Carolina wher e he married PHOEBE POPE, 29 March 1804 . Phoebe was born 7 August 178 3 in Pennsylvania, daughter of Rev. George Whitefield Pope an d Mary Ha itt. His marriage bond was co signed by his father-in-law, Rev. George W . Pope, Witn esses James Pope, the bride's brother, and Joab Brooks, br other of his sister Rebecca's husba nd, John D. Brooks. It is possible H ugh and Phoebe knew each other in Pennsylvania before the y moved south . Something happened to the marriage of Hugh McKaughan and Phoebe Pope. W hile I was in North C arolina, I read a letter telling that Hugh went t o the Dominion of Mexico (Texas) to try to g et land near kin (his niec e, Jane Mercer Brooks Simpson), when the twins were a few months ol d ( 1815). He was heard from once only so assumed dead. When we were in P ulaski County, Kent ucky doing research, we found him having his land s urveyed and getting a license to run a saw mill. In 1818, he married P OLLY RIDDLE and then they went to Texas where he was on the tax r olls u ntil 1845. If they heard from him in Texas, it was years after he had l eft North Carol ina. I feel the marriage bond had something to do with i t for it states that if he leaves hi s wife, and there are children inv olved, he would pay the state five hundred pounds, the curr ency of the d ay. Since he was nowhere to be found and since his father-in-law had c o-signed , it looks like he would be the one to pay. It was just easie r for Phoebe to say he had gon e and not heard from rather than he had l eft her. To get married legally in those days, yo u had to get a marri age bond, which meant you had to pay the state a certain amount of mone y t o take care of your children if you left them, in his case, 500 pounds. T his is why commo n law marriages were so popular. After Hugh McKaughan left North Carolina, Phoebe took her children to h er father's farm wher e they built a cabin for her down by the spring. T he foundation is still visible. They alwa ys referred to it as "Widow P hoebe's home" All their children stayed in North Carolina but Re v. Wil liam, my great grandfather.	MCKAUGHAN, Hugh (I20586)

2636	Founding settler of Norwich and Saybrook, Connecticut. Rev. James Fitch was the first ordained minister of Saybrook Congregational Church and the First Congregational Church of Norwich. He was instrumental in getting Uncas and the Mohegans and the Pequot Indians to side with the English against King Philip's Narragansett tribes. Their fair dealings with the Indians spared these settlers who were on the very frontier at that time.

Translated "In this grave are deposited the remains of that truley reverend man, Mr. James Fitch. He was born in Bocking, in the County of Essex, in England, the 24th day of December, in the year of our Lord 1622; who after he had been most excellently taught the learned languages came into New England at the age of sixteen, and then spent seven years under the instructions of those very famous men, Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone. Afterwards he discharged the pastoral office fourteen years at Saybrook. Thence he removed with the major part of his Church to Norwich, where he spent the other years of his life in the work of the gospel. In his old age indeed he was obliged to cease from his public labors by reason of bodily indisposition and at length retired to his children at Lebanon, where after spending nearly half a year, he slept in Jesus in the year 1702, on the 18th day of November, in the 80th year of his age. He was a man as to the smartness of his genius, the solidity of his judgement, his charity, holy labors, and every kind of purity of life, and also as to his skill and energy of preaching, inferior to none."

2639	Frances's mother, Bessie G. Dorr, died shortly after her birth. She was raised by her grandmother Augusta "Gustie" (Small) and her 2nd husband, Nelson Wallace . She was born in the old Ed Puffer home (then lived in by Roberta Puffer), in the little corner room next to the road. "I remember so well when the Dr. came, he put his satchel bag in a chair and put his coat on it. Mama wanted Cliff and I to go to bed so she told us the doctor had a baby in that bag and put his coat on it to keep the little dear warm, that he was going to leave the baby with Bessie, and sure enough he did, for when we came down stairs the next morning there was a darling baby girl in bed with Bessie". by Elizabeth Roberta Puffer. The 1910 Federal Census shows Frances living with her grandmother and step-grandfather Augusta Small and Wallace Nelson. She is 9 yo.	SMITH, Frances Alma (I23638)
2640	Francis Nourse was an early settler in Salem, and was a proprietor of the town 1647. He lived for forty years near Sperry's, on North River Street, between the main village and the ferry to Beverly. He was a woodworker, called a tray-maker. In those days, wooden trays and dishes were the rule; there was little pewter, less silver and china, and the plates, trays and trenchers of wood were the ordinary dishes.	NURSE, Francis (I47396)
2641	Frank Davis and his wife, Harriet, were divorced in 1852. He was living at the Sullivan County Poor Farm at the time of his death, and according to their records, he was buried at the County Farm.	DAVIS, Francis S. (I7403)
2642	Frederick Clayton Lampham was born in Rochester, New York in 1881, the son of a barber in the Second Ward. He studied music at the Rochester Free Academy, becoming an accomplished cornet player. A soloist at concerts before graduation, when city-directory canvassers inquired at the end of 1899, he gave his profession as musician. The following year, he published his first song, “Since My Darling’s Gone,” for which he composed the music and penned the lyrics, leaving the arrangement to a more experienced pro. During the succeeding decade, Lampham helped make ends meet by teaching music, but bankrupted himself operating a music store for a short time. His main line was performance as a cornetist, a conductor and a bandleader. In 1902, he assembled his first large “Cadet Band” for concerts. Two years later, a small-town paper referred to the not-yet-23-year-old as the “world’s youngest bandmaster.” At the time, to be a band was nearly synonymous with being a brass band. The pinnacle of accomplishment aand fame and was represented by the “March King” John Philip Sousa, who had first published his own music three decades earlier and had led the U.S. Marine Band and his own eponymous commercial band. Lampham’s outfit followed the uniformed example of Sousa’s touring company, eventually dubbing his men, unoriginally, the “Red Hussars.” Not all were men, however. The Red Hussar Band would typically feature a female vocalist—originally, Lampham’s fiancee, Fannie May Puffer, a soprano, a solo pianist and a flautist. Multi-talented, she would later direct music for a photoplay, and would reappear fronting the Hussars occasionally in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s. By 1909, the “Red Hussar Band and Extravaganza Company” consisted of “30 artists,” as Lampham insisted that each could competently solo, as he typically did each show. Their agent flogged them in “The Billboard” magazine as “the musical sensation of the century… a carnival of soloists combining in a human organ.” They were essentially based at the Ontario Beach Park resort, where they played the bandshell all summer, a return engagement from the prior year. Publicity led to gigs over an ever-wider area; Lampham’s band eventually performed in every corner of New York State and at resorts in Connecticut. They played concert halls, dance auditoriums and vaudeville theaters, and at county and state fairs, amusement parks and trade shows. They were busiest in their hometown. Lampham wrote and arranged “The City Beautiful” march and two-step to honor Rochester’s 1912 centennial, presenting the original manuscript to Mayor Edgerton at the festivities, and copyrighting it the following year. In April 1917, contemporaneous with Leonard Wood’s World War I preparedness campaign, Lampham led his band in a patriotic spectacle featuring his original composition “Hurrah for Old Glory.” The Red Hussars would perform the piece again at Ontario Beach in July. Despite the negative connotations of the color red and the rejection of militarism after the war, the Hussars hung onto their name and their dated uniforms until the early 1930s. They did freshen their repertoire, however, performing everything “from classical overtures… to modern jazz,” now referred to as a novelty band and orchestra. The outfit slimmed down to 20 pieces by 1920, but to meet the Jazz Age, a saxophone sextet was added. They also introduced their first regular female player, Rochester’s Deva Ellsworth on bass horn. Lampham demonstrated his willingness to keep up with popular music by composing “Honey Mine,” a number for the vaudeville revue “Fads and Fashions of 1921.” The band’s success and promotion landed them their first engagement in New York City in 1920, followed by gigs at Capitol Park, “Connecticut’s Coney Island” at Hartford; at Savin Rock in West Haven; and at Danbury. In the first half of the 1930s, the now sixteen-piece orchestra played summers at the real Coney Island, and began promoting itself as Lampham’s Coney Island Band or Luna Park Band. It was the era of the crooner and the “girl singer,” and female leads included Elizabeth Roderick around 1925, Mildred O’Done from 1930 to 1935, Pauline Stevens from 1935, and occasionally Fannie Lampham. In the late 1930s, they rebranded as the Exposition Band and, just before World War II, as the Scotch Highlander Band. One of the photographs depicts several members of Clayton Lampham’s “Red Hussar Band,” probably at a county fair or circus, with comic performers dressed as clowns and “keystone” cops and—manifesting the racial insensitivity of the time—as Mexican campesinos and blackface drag characters. Lampham stands to the right of the ringmaster. -- MERGED NOTE ------------ Frederick Clayton Lampham was born in Rochester, New York in 1881, the son of a barber in the Second Ward.

The Mercer cousins who have worked o n that line believe Moses was rel ated to General Hugh Mercer, they bot h came to America around the same time and Jane's brothe rs always seem ed to be near General Hugh. History books tell us General Hugh Mercer was the private doctor to the K ing of Scotland an d after their war with England for their Independenc e the King was exiled and so was Genera l Hugh Mercer. We do not know w hether Moses Mercer was also exiled or not. General Hugh settl ed in Cu mberland County, Pennsylvania (Mercersburg was named after him). When t he revolutiona ry war broke out, Hugh Mercer enlisted as a doctor and w as commissioned to General. He was i n many battles in Pennsylvania and w as sent to Princeton, New Jersey where he was killed. Tw o of Jane Merc er's brothers were with him in Princeton at the time. Archibald McKaughan, Jr. served as a private eighth class, Captain Jack 's Sixth Company, Four th Battalion, Cumberland County Militia, accordi ng to a patrol return dated 24 October 1782 ( page 313, Vol. 6, 5th ser ies, Pennsylvania Archives). He is recorded as Arch McCaughran. I fe el t he name was written by a clerk and the clerk wrote it "McC", rather tha n "McK" because Ar ch Jr's signature on a land survey in 1804 and he sp elled the name McKaughan. The "r" in th e name indicates the Gaelic pro nunciation and the "r" the roll. His name is recorded Archibal d McKaug han on the D.A.R. Patriotic Records, cleared 9 November 1933 by Zula Mo ore Nelson, Wi chita Falls, Texas. There are, however, several errors i n her report. After the revolutionary war, all the Mercer brothers and all the McKaug han's regathered i n a territory which is now Sullivan County, Tennesse e. Around 1800, when Kentucky was formed , all the Mercer brothers and f amilies and Archibald McKaughan, Jr. and family went to Pulask i County , Kentucky. Archibald's land was 15 miles west of Somerset, west of Nan cy about 2 mil es, and one mile south on road #1664. The King Creek men tioned on the survey is now named Spu tter Creek. The land is now owned b y Mr. Glen Roy. Their graves are in the pasture on a hill , among a clu mp of trees, between the two barns. It is hard to tell just how many gr aves ther e are for the cattle have trampled them, and there are only t wo marked with names. One, a sol dier recorded Caughran (no date), appe ars to be a grandson, and the other a baby recorded a s Caughron (1853) . I have neither of these on my files. If the soldier was the father of t h e baby, it appears he had dropped the prefix "Mc" from the name and u sed "C", as we find the m doing sometimes during this time, and again t he "r" which indicates the name was still pron ounced the Gaelic way, t he "r" being the roll in the name. In the early days, Pulaski County , Kentucky was quite large; in fact, it went to the Tennessee border. The y built sub-courthouse s so the men could get to a courthouse in the wi ntertime when the river was frozen and road s icy. One such sub-courtho use was built at Monticello, Kentucky. Later, when Pulaski Count y was d ivided into several counties, Monticello became the county seat of Wayn e County but i t appears they kept all the old records so if you look f or information, you have to work bot h courthouses. The Wolf Creek Dam h as been built between Archibald McKaughan, Jr's land and M onticello so y ou have to go to Somerset and around but at the time he lived there. I w as tol d by Mr. Roy that they would take a skiff across the river. It i s 7 miles from Monticello an d 15 miles and many hills to Somerset. Thi s explains why we found more information in Wayne C ounty on them than P ulaski County. The information containing the children and birth dates was found in tw o courthouses - in Way ne Co., TN - Monticello and Somerset. From Four Generations of McKaughans in America - "After the war, h e moved with his fam ily to East Tennessee. They cleared their land, b uilt their homes, put in their crops, and m ade peace with the indians. T hey were doing fine until North Carolina found out about them a nd took t heir land. Archibald, Jr. was one of the signers to form the little st ate of Frankl in. After North Carolina took over their land, they move d on to Jackson County, Tennessee, b uying land next to his brother, Hu gh about 1815. It is assumed that they both died and are b uried in Ja ckson Co., TN." Archibald McKaughan, Jr. was buried in a pasture on a hill among a clum p of trees on land no w owned by Mr. Glen Roy - Pulaski Co., KY (west o f Somerset). Archibald McKaughan, Jr. is listed in D.A.R. patriot Index published 19 67 pr. 455.

2656	From Libby’s Knowles genealogy:22 “As a boy Nathaniel Knowles evedently woud rather go to sea than to school; for, although he belonged to an educated family, he did not learn to write. After his marriage his father attempted to establish him by giving him a large quantity of land in the new settlement at Windham, Conn., in that part of the town which is not wht town of Scotland; but in a few years he had evidently run through with this, and in a Windham deed he is called ‘of Branford, Conn.,” 27 Mar 1724, when he sold the last of his land at Windham. At Branford he bargained for a house, a shop, and two acres of land, in an instrument dated 8 Aug. 1722, but he did not get his deed until 21 Aug. 1724. Two years from that time he quit claimed his equity in the house and a half acre of the land, an acre and a half having been already levied on by a creditor, 18 Mar. 1724/5. At Branford he attempted to keep a store, and also was licensed as an innkeeper, enterprises which only a keen man could carry on successfully without an elementary education. After his house was gone he continued to live at Branford, doubtless going back to his early choice as sailor. Suits for debts appear in the court, and he was also arrested for having in his possession a man’s purse containing a large sum, but on surrendering this and showing penitence he was discharged with a small fine. A lawsuit in Apr. 1730 gives us his last appearance at Branford, except what we may infer from the marriage of his daughter a few months later; and the only evidence that he removed to Provincetown is found in a military roll in which his youngest son gave his birthplace as ‘Cape Cod,’ an expression which at that time meant Provincetown, where all the inhabitants were squatters, a law of the Province prohibiting the purchase of lands from the Indians. Whether he died at Provincetown or in his father’s house we can only doubtfully infer from his father’s will, which was evidently prompted by his prodigal but beloved son’s lying at death’s door. In one part of the will the father speaks of his son Nathaniel as alive, and in another part he calls Elizabeth a widow.”	KNOWLES, Nathaniel (I1347)

2666	From the autobiography of Marjorie Puffer Field: "On the way home from my high school senior reception, Harris asked me if I would accept a diamond on my 18th birthday. What a thrill! Oh, how could I wait until August 30th and keep it a secret. It was just as well that I was leaving the next morning for Eagle Camp. Those ten weeks would seem endless to me now. For high school graduation he had given me a beautiful, silver necklace with some family, Egyptian scarabs for a present. My one request, and a hard one for him, was to tell my parents before he gave me the diamond. I knew they were not going to approve of our engagement. Harris gave me my diamond ring as we sat on the rocks beside Lake Champlain on August 30, 1930. What a tempest was stirred up when I came home wearing that ring. My two maiden aunts, Fran and Lucy, were my main stays in those hard days. They highly approved of Harris and finally convinced Mother to accept the fact that I was grown up and not the student that my sisters were. Even Aunt Lucy told me she wished she were younger so she could try for Harris, as she liked him so much. Grandpa Rice knew Harris before his death in 1927 and thought he was a fine young man. To me, Harris was as near as fine a man as my grandfather, who always was my idol." She was town clerk for Berlin and later worked as assistant town clerk for 23 years, in an office in her home. She moved to West Newbury, Mass., in 1968. In 1982, she moved first to Corvallis and then to McMinnville.	PUFFER, Marjorie (I33014)

2669	FULTON, Ill. - An interesting phenomenon in Fulton´s history is told here. Is it macabre, eerie or incredible? You decide. Warren P. Hall, co-owner of the Langford & Hall Sawmill located on Fulton´s riverfront, was fatally injured on July 7, 1881, by a falling log. He was supervising the raising of a tall smoke stack that had been blown down in a storm. His death, however, was not the first tragedy for the Hall family. On January 16, 1876, five years earlier, George Hall, age 16, the only son of Warren and Catherine Hall, went to the river to ice skate and never returned. The Halls' residence was on the northeast corner of Third Street and Eighth Avenue (current site of the Fulton Corporation office). The Fulton citizens, gripped with great concern and anxiety, aided in the search for the missing boy. Most of the concentration was at the site of the C & NW railroad elevator located on the west end of 11th Avenue. At the time, Mrs. L. F. (Emma) Puffer, a quiet woman who had demonstrated clairvoyant powers in the past, offered her advice as to the location of the body of George. She was hesitant about getting involved as she had experienced public animosity in a previous town, but her desire to be helpful gave her courage to use her "one talent, clairvoyance, toward directing others where to search." In the presence of four others, she laid her hand on a coat that George Hall had worn and `"from a clue given by the magnetism in the coat as it appeared to her, she saw the boy leave his home, go to the river, put on his skates and skate to the north above the sawmill," according to an article written by Wayne Bastian. She could clearly see the boy's body under the ice in that location. This would have been the Smith & Culbertson Sawmill at the mouth of the Cattail Slough (current site of Rick Brown's property). Later that day, William Stuart, who resided in the neighborhood, stopped by the Puffer home and said that people no longer thought that George had drowned and that he had run away from home. Mrs. Puffer refused to accept this theory and reiterated her belief as to the body's location. "Billy, George Hall is dead and is under the ice'85." That evening George's body was located exactly at the site that Mrs. Puffer had envisioned. Many people doubted Mrs. Puffer and claimed that someone had told her, but she rose in righteous wrath and defended her clairvoyant talent. In a lengthy letter to the Fulton Journal on April 7, 1876, three months after the drowning, she defended herself and expressed resentment for being accused as an imposter. The letter is well written and reflects an intelligent and educated woman with a caring nature. In closing, she wrote, "and although I am a woman, I claim the rights of citizenship enough to defend myself when there have been false accusations made, and for the use of your columns through which to do so, you have my thanks." Signed: Emma E. Puffer. There was an affidavit that accompanied her letter signed by the people that were present when she first described the location of George Hall's body. Emma was not the only clairvoyant noted in Fulton's history. Dr. A. W. Benton, a medical physician, arrived in Fulton in 1853. His advertisements offered both medical and clairvoyant services. He owned the first drug store. Dr. Benton is best remembered, however, because the house he built in 1855 is now the Fulton (Martin House) Museum located at 707 10th Ave. Writer's note: The reference to another community in which Emma Knight Puffer experienced public animosity was in Nauvoo. She and her family moved to Fulton in 1847 when the mass exodus of Mormans departed for Salt Lake City. Emma practiced Spiritualism while she lived in Fulton. She is buried in the Fulton Township Cemetery. Emma Knight Wythe Puffer was Helen Wythe´s grandmother; Wythe was a well-known Fulton resident who died March 17, 1993.

Their original license can be found in Way ne County . It is recorded under the name of McGahan, however, if you t urn it over to where George sign ed it, he used the McKaughan spelling. T his indicates to me that the name must have been pro nounced McGahan in K entucky from the start. All their decendanls but one that we have foun d n ow spell the name McGahan, pronouncing it Mc Gann, which isn't too far o ff from the Gaeli c pronounciation of the name. Peggy was the daughter o f John Caldwell of Wayne County. George McKaughan was a farmer. The survey office in Somerset, Kentucky , shows him owning 12 5 acres of land on the west side of Sand Creek.

He was ordained in Berlin, November 26, 1781, the first minister, and continued pastor of the Congregational church there to the end of this life. He was a very useful and able minister. He delivered the Dudleian lecture at Harvard College, May 11, 1808, and preached a sermon at the annual convention of Congregational ministers at Boston May 30, 1811. Both of these sermons were published in pamphlets. Rev. Dr. Puffer spoke at the inauguration of John Adams to Massachusetts State Senate. The late Rev. Dr. Allen of Northboro in an article in the Boston Advertiser gives the following incident among his Cambridge reminiscences of 1810. "Quite a sensation was occasioned in June of this year by the delivery of the Dudleian lecture by a country minister, with whom many years afterwards I had pleasant intercourse as a neighbor and friend, Rev. Reuben Puffer, afterwards D.D., of Berlin. He had previously delivered the election sermon in Boston which first introduced him to notice, and probably led to his appointment as lecturer. We were given to understand that he was a poor country minister, with small salary and a large family, and our expectations on entering the Chapel and seeing an ordinary-looking man in the pulpit were not raised to a high pitch. But we were disappointed and we listened to the discourse with intense interest from first to last. His text was "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, come and see." And so we found that a very sensible, rational, eloquent discourse could come from the minister of the obscure little town of Berlin. The result was that a meeting of the Students was called, a Committee chosen to request a copy for the press, and the profits of the pamphlet, amounting to about one hundred dollars, was given to the poor country minister." Rev. Dr. Puffer left a large estate for his day. He made special bequests of Scott's Family Bible, Brown's Dictionary of the Bible, Burder's Village Sermons; Cowper's Poems; Newton's Letters; Memoirs of Mrs. Ramsay and some of his manuscripts. He had a large library. He gave his watch to his son Oliver and his clock to his son Henry; a gold necklace of his deceased daughter Sarah to his granddaughter Sarah Puffer Fay. Edward Baker was executor. His will was dated Sept. 3, 1828. The widow Phebe Puffer remembered each of her husband's children in her will, which was dated March, 1851, and allowed February 5, 1856. She gave to Phebe Goodnow, granddaughter of her husband, her gold necklace. She gave Scott's Family Bible to Oliver Puffer; Barley's English Dictionary to Thomas Stone's wife; $30 each to her own sons, Truman, Freeman and William Stowe. Among other legacies to her granddaughters, Eugenia Stowe Gilbert and Phebe Morse Stowe, daughter of Truman Stowe, was "a large chest with one drawer" that "came from her ancestors," also wearing apparel, household goods, desk, papers, etc. He married, first, Feb 9, 1779 or 1780 at Stow, Hannah Perry, who was born Sept 21, 1760, died Jan. 5, 1812. He married, second, in 1814, Phebe (Morse) Stowe of Marlborough, daughter of William and Phebe Morse. By her first husband Truman Stowe, she had children William, Truman, Freeman and Eugenia Stowe. Eugenia Stowe married September 28, 1828, Rev. Lyman Gilbert of West Newton. Phebe died Jan. 12, 156, aged 84 y. 28 d.	PUFFER, Rev. Reuben D. D. (I22069)
