2502 The St. Lawrence Co. New York History by Gates Curtis, 1894, states that Abraham was a Hessian (German soldier fighting for the British army). Some have theorized that Abraham may have been a part of a German Battalion, but as a British soldier. The surname Brundage is also much more prevalent in England than in Germany. Abraham is said to have deserted the British army, which was not unusual at the time, and some families in the northeast are proud that their ancestors deserted the British cause.
-
Another biography "A history of the town of Williston", pg. 40, shows the following:

Stephen N. Warren came to Williston about the same time as Lemuel Bottom and settled near him. He afterwards moved to Fairfax where he died. He had eight children. Of these the youngest, Charles E. followed the trade of carpenter and joiner for some time, worked a while at the paper mills in Essex, and finally purchased a farm in Williston where he died July 30, 1888. Charles E. married Rosetta Baldwin, a granddaughter of Abram Brundage, an early settler, a soldier in the French and Indian War, and in the British Army of the Revolution. He stood at the top of the rock down which Gen. Isaac (Israel?) Putnam made his famous ride, at the time the deed was done. . . .
-
The 1800 census:

2 age under 10
1 age 26 to 44
Females:
1 age under 10
1 age 10 through 15
1 age 26 to 44
Slaves: 0
This record of Abraham is of interest as it shows his family in close proximity of he Isham and Lockwood familys, both of whom have recorded inter-marrying with the Brundages in the 1700's & 1800's.
-
Some records show Abraham and Lois as having 8 children, 5 boys & 4 girls (See below).
Abraham appears in the 1810 Vermont census as living in Williston, Chittenden Co., Vermont (roll 64, p. 387).
Males:

1 age 60-69

-
By 1840 there is no mention of Abraham in Williston. One interesting fact in the 1840 census is that Nathaniel's family is shown with a 70-79 year old female living with them, could this be Lois (Yale) Brundage, Abraham's wife?
-
The St. Lawrence Co. book states Abraham spent his last days in Williston, Vermont.
-
All 4 of Abraham's sons appear in the1840 census for Williston, Chittenden Co., Vermont, their names were; Joshua, Harry, William and Nathan.
-
A Clarissa Brundage married Carlton Barto at Hinesburg, Vermont on November 11, 1820. Perhaps she is Abraham's oldest daughter ?.
-
From the book "A Survey of the Ishams in England and America" There was an Elizabeth Brundage b. October, 1787 who married an Ebenezer Isham who lived in and raised children in St. George, Chittenden Co., Vermont in about 1813. From the same source we find a Mary Brundage married to Nathan Lockwood, this couple raised children in St. George, Chittenden Co., Vermont. One of their daughters was born October 20 , 1795.
-
The following - Might ???- apply to our Abraham:

Andreas Emmerick's Chasseurs, Capt. Benjamin Ogden's Troop...
Muster Roll of a Troop of Dragoons in his Majesty’s Corps of Chasseurs Under the Command of Lieut. Colonel A EMMERICK, October 24th, 1778:
...Abraham Brundage, Sick in Quarters, May 2, 1778...

NOTE: !...!...!
Andreas Emmerick was an accomplished German Officer who was given authority to recruit men from the New York colony to serve under his command. (Hmm... this sounds familiar...).
This is very intriguing and may tie our Abraham to the loyalist Brundages who ended up in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia at the close of the Rev. War.

Also this...

Muster Roll of Discharged Officers and Disbanded Soldiers and Loyalists:
Town of Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada, May 29, 1784.
Brundige, Abraham, Loyalist.

Land, tract "Resurvey on Meadow" adjoins north side of Patrick Street, same as deed conveyed 23 Dec 1791 from Michael RAYMER to Matthias BUCKEY, 3/4 acre and all lots, 1 1/2 acres each; lot 1/4 acre, tract "Tasker's Chance" conveyed by James BEATTY, deed 5 Apr 1804 to Matthias; part "Tasker's Chance" by Alexander Contee HANSON, Chancellor of State to Matthias for 96 sq perches and part "Resurvey on Meadow" by Henry ZEALER, deed 2 Jun 1796, 5 acres; and part "Mountain Tract", 78 acres, part "Resurvey on Meadow", 3/4 acre on south side of Patrick Street on 23 Dec 1791 from Michael RAYMER to Matthias; part "Resurvey on Meadow", 1 1/2 acres on 22 Sep 1792 by Michael HAASS to Mathias; and part "The Mountain Tract", 78 acres.

This property was left to Matthias' sons jointly. Indenture was made between Michael & Jacob to divide land on 12 Jan 1814; Michael's wife was Catherine, Jacob's was Maria Margaret. On deed 8 Feb 1812, Jacob purchased property from Eleanor & William POTTS, executors of Richard POTTS for $550.00. But then -

Jacob BUCKEY, d/ Feb 1817, intestate
widow - Maria Margaret
only child - Jacob Michael, minor

It appears Maria Margaret was a very young widow with an infant and she, herself, was not of age (under 21). She is now married to George MILLER and is filing for 1/3 dower. Guardian appointed was Peter BRENGLE. The land had to be surveyed by Peter MANTZ and her dower was laid out in two sections: one 26 acre piece of "The Mountain Tract", and 110 perches of part "The Meadow" and part "Tasker's Chance"; case closed 20 Oct 1819. 
BUCKEY, Matthias (I6122)
 
2519 They are descendants of French Huguenots, who fled from France on account of religious persecutions, and settled in Ireland.
In 1720 William Marquis and Margaret, his wife, together with their son Thomas and daughter Mary, emigrated to this country from Ireland, and they settled on the Opequon River, about three miles outside Winchester, Virginia in the year 1737, shortly after opening of the Shenandoah Valley by Lord Fairfax. It is believed that some of the children of this family remained in Ireland. Some years after their parents came to America.

CANBY, Thomas (1668-1742; Son of Benjamin Canby, m Mary Baker), from Eng. in the "Vine," arriving September 17, 1684 in the Delaware River. The ship sailed from Dolgelly, Wales. He then went to Bucks Co., Pa. as an indentured servant of his uncle Henry Baker.; mem. Pa. Assembly and justice several yrs.; m 1709, Mary Oliver, she came from wales in the Welcome," with William Penn, 1682. (ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM, Frederick Virkus, p. 3463) and (The Compendium of American Genealogy, 1600s-1800s
Volume VI, Immigrant Ancestors, Biographies, Page 762).
-
Emigrated to America 7th month,17,1684 on "The Vine" from Yorkshire, England.
Bonded to Uncle Henry, brother of his mother.

From the History of Bucks County: Thomas was an orphan of 16 years of age when in 1683 he came with his uncle and guardian to Bucks county. The family were Friends, and the youth, in connection with his guardian and Bucks quarterly meeting, settled a claim of five years' service due in payment of his passage over. After the expiration of this service young Canby settled near Jenkintown, Montgomery county, and in 1693 married Sarah Jarvis, by whom he had nine children. His wife died in 1708, and about two years thereafter he married Mary, daughter of Evan Oliver, who came from Radnorshire, in Wales. By her he had eight children. She died in 1721. He moved from Abington shortly after and purchased land below Centerville, in Bucks county. He remained there some time, but finally disposed of it and purchased three hundred acres on the Street road, in Solebury township. We find him again marrying his third wife, Jane Preston, a widow, and living at the mill on the Great spring above New Hope, on the Delaware. It does not appear that he had any children by his third wife. Some time afterward he removed to Wilmington, Delaware, where some of his children had located, but returned to Solebury, where he died in 1742, aged 75 years. In the life of Thomas Canby there is much to admire. Starting in the humble walks of life a poor and friendless orphan boy, we find him working his way by industry and perseverance into general confidence, while his sterling character, his usefulness as a citizen, and his many acts of Christian kindness and charity endeared him to the community at large. In the home circle and the religious society, of which he was an active member, his influence for good was widely felt. He and his descendants served Buckingham monthly meetings as clerks almost continuously after its establishment in 1720 for a period of over one hundred years, and in important appointments in church matters the name of Canby often appears. The Canby name is not very common in our county at the present day. This is partly owing to the fact that of Thomas Canby's seventeen children twelve were girls. Most of them changed their names and were blessed with large families.

Pioneer Irish in New England
CHAPTER XII
page 195
The name Gleason appears in the town records of Charlestown, Cambridge, Sudbury, Framingham and Oxford, Mass., but there is nothing to indicate their racial identity. The Irish origin of the name Gleason has been disputed by a Massachusetts historical writer, yet the Gleasons, originally O'Glasain or O'Gliasain, a name common in the south of Ireland for centuries, are listed among the ancient Irish families as chiefs of the Barony of Imokilly in the County of Cork, Irish Pedigrees, by John OHart, Vol. 1, p. 808.1 and the motto on their coat of arms is in the Irish language, Lamb Laidir An Uachdar, meaning the strong hand uppermost. Mary, daughter of Thomas and Susanna Gleason , was born at Cambridge on October 31, 1657, and other children mentioned in the records of Middlesex County Vol. 1, p. 158, and Vol. 6, p. 13.2 were Thomas, Joseph, William and John. In 1663, Thomas Gleason (1) leased a farm from a Captain Scarlett at Charlestown. His sons, Thomas and John, located at Sudbury and Thomas bought a tract of land on Gleasons Pond near Framingham, from Benjamin Rice by deed dated September 29, 1673;Middlesex Deeds, Vol. 6, p. 378.3 and according to the genealogy of the Gleasons In History of Framingham, by William Barry, and Genealogical Register in History of Framingham, by J. H. Temple.4 his descendants lived there for at least four generations. John and William Gleason and Philip Gleason served in King Philips War, and Thomas Gleason and his son, Thomas, were listed among the thirty incorporators of the town of Framingham in 1692. John Gleason had land assigned to him at Sherburne, Mass., in 1682, and he was the father of eight children born at that place between 1680 and 1700.New England Historic-Genealogical Register, Vol. 6, p. 246.5 
GLEASON, Thomas (I6218)
 
2532 THOMAS READ, a tailor of Chelmsford was born about 1656; parentage unknown. He was not a son of Obadiah and Anna Read, as stated in Read Genealogy, 1861. He was a freeman, April 1, 1679 , and a soldier in King Philip's War, 1676. He married, probably in 1679, Hannah Blanchard, daughter of Dea. John and Elizabeth (Hills) Blanchard.

On the warrant of warning or caution against settlement in Chelmsford issued June 10, 1679, under date of June 14, 1679, the constable made a return: "Thomas Read and Hannah Read, his wife, is fled away out of our town, we know not whither," and a second return dated September 27, 1679, the constable says: "Thomas Rade and Hanna Blanchar are run away out of this county and I am informed they are gone to the southward." If he lived elsewhere a number of years it is certain that he returned to Chelmsford . He was a member of the garrison there 16 March 1691 and in 1727 was one of several petitioners in regard to placing the town line between Chelmford and Westford.

In 1717, he sold to Joseph Blanchard of Dunstable the land willed to his wife, Hannah, by her grandfather, Joseph Hills, and by her father, Dea. John Blanchard.

In 1725, the selectmen of Chelmsford petitioned the General Court, saying Thomas Blanchard "an ancient and infirm man" had petitioned the town for assistance and that his sons John, Thomas, William and Jonathan, who were able, had refused to assist him.

Very probably Thomas and Hannah (Blanchard) Read had more children than are named in this register.
i. JOHN, born 1685; married January 10, 1706, Jane Chamberlain; lived in Westford, where ten children were born.
ii. THOMAS, born 1687; married March 14, 1709-10, Sarah Fletcher; lived in Westford, where he died December 24,1773. He was prosperous and respected. Of their children, Timothy is named hereafter. The late Elbridge Gerry Reed is a descendant.
iii. WILLIAM, married Hannah Bates of Chelmsford. He lived in Westford. His son, Robert, born December 25, 1720, married May 11, 1743, Mary Abbot of Andover, and was a leading citizen of Litchfield and Amherst. His second son, William, born February 25, 1724-5, married Lucy Spalding. He settled in the north part of Litchfield. He was an ensign in Col. Gilman's regiment, 1755, and was commissioned a captain soon after. He established a ferry between Litchfield and Merrimack, about 1728, known as "Read's Ferry." He died 1768, being killed at the raising of a building. In 1789, the legislature made a grant of a ferry to his son, William Read.
iv. JONATHAN. married Margaret. Two children born in Westford.
v. BENJAMIN, born October 23, 1698; died in Westford, April 2, 1778.

The name of Reade may also be spelled Read, Reed or Reid. All stem from the Anglo-saxon "rede " which has three interpretations: cousel or advice; a reed plant, and the color red. It woul d be difficult now to say which of these meanings may have inspired a family's adoption of the name.
The first Reade in America to bear the coat of arms was Thomas. He was the son of Sir Thomas and Mary (Cornwall) Reade of Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire, England. His paternal grandfather, Lord of Shropshire. An elder brother, Compton, was a baronet.
Thomas Reade came to this country with Wintrop's fleet in 1630 and settled in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. His grant of 300 acres was exceeded in size by those of only four other settlers of the time. It adjoined Governor Endicott's and was made is 1637.
In 1660, he returned to England, served in the army during the Restoration of the Stuarts and became a colonel. His sisters were Margaret Lake, Martha Symonds and Elizabeth Winthrop.
The coat was confirmed in 1654, and its colors are azure and gold.
William Reade was born in 1587, one of a family of nine children: Compton, Edward, Richard, Thomas, John, Esdrass, William and two others (probably the sisters!). Some of the family had already crossed over to the new country in "the great fleet" William and Esdrass were younger sons and together they left their English home in July 1635 in the ship "Defence" With William was his wife Mabel Kendall, and they were for a time in Salem, Boston, Chelmsford and Woburn. Esdrass had a grant of land that later William bought of him, which is now Brookline Mass.
-
There are a number of errors here, but generally accurate. Col. Thomas Read was supposedly the son of Sir Thomas and Mary Read. His maternal grandfather was Lord of Shrophshire. The land ownership in Salem is correct. He was a Col. as early as 1643, probably a Col. before he came over. His activity in the Restoration of Charles II is correct. He died in England in 1663. His son Abraham settled his estate.
As for the response from the decendent of William. He is supposed to be the son of Thomas and Mary of Brocket Hall, making him Col. Thomas's brother. He sailed from London aboared the "Defence" in July of 1635.
-
Thos. Reed was not the first Reed of this family to come to the colonies. He was not related, per the "Bible" written by Sir Compton Reede with family documentation galore. 
READ, Thomas (I7082)
 
2533 Thomas Rowell was a cooper.
He was christened on 17 March 1593/94 at Atherstone, Mancetter Parish, Warwickshire, England.
He was the son of Valentine Rowell and Elizabeth Hampton.
On 12 October 1615 at Atherstone, Mancetter Parish, Warwickshire, England, Thomas married Margaret Milner.
Thomas moved in 1648 to Salem, Massachusetts and was in 1648 at Salisbury, Massachusetts.
Thomas Rowell was finded 10/3d for not attending public worship. As John Bourn was fined for the selling of strong water at the same time, there may lie the explanation for Thomas' absence.
He moved in 1650 to Salisbury, Massachusetts.
In 1651 Thomas married Margery Fowler, daughter of Philip Fowler and Mary Winsley. They made a pre-nuptual agreement 24 February 1650/51.
Thomas Rowell and Margery Fowler moved in 1652 to Ipswich, Massachusetts.
On 25 June 1652 at Ipswich, Massachusetts, Thomas Rowell was was employed to build a prison along with Henry Pindar, his son's father-in-law.
He and Margery Fowler moved in 1658 to Andover, Massachusetts.
Thomas Rowell died on Monday, 8 May 1662 at Andover, Massachusetts, at age 68 years, 1 month and 21 days. 
ROWELL, Thomas (I13092)
 
2534 Thomas Smith, eldest son of Robert and Phebe, became the owner of the homestead farm under the will of his father. An apple tree of natural fruit grew up wild near a fence in one of his fields. The tree proved to be a prolific bearer, and developing apples of superior quality for eating and cider, became well known in the neighborhood, and was kept closely trimmed of scions for grafting. The same apple, which has been brought down by successive grafting, is the well known Smith cider apple of today." (from "The Genealogy of Robert Smith" by Josiah B. Smith, 1885).

There is recorded in Lancaster 1 Oct 1667 from Thomas Wyllys, of Lancaster, and Mary, his "now wife" to Abraham Weekes. There is in Middlesex County (formerly a part of Lancaster)a marriage contract dated 6 Feb 1670 between Mary Willis, widow and Mathew Bentley, shoemaker, making provision in favor of her children, Richard, John and Eleanor Willis. This Mary Willis was doubtless the widow of Thomas Willis. Her second husband, Mathew Bentlye, was one of the letters of the adherents of Nathaniel Bacon in Middlesex and vicinity. At Middlesex Court February, 1677, Matthew Bentley was summoned to answer the charge that during the late rebellion, when in command of forty or fifty men-in-arms at Major Lewis' plantation, in New Kent, he killed three hogs and four sheep, use a great deal of corn and took meal for the whole rebel army at Major Pate's. in this case Bentley took an appeal to the General Court. On July 23rd, Col. Wormeley, of Middlesex, sued Matthew Bentley and others for trespass and for taking from him in October, 1676, twelve beeves, forty sheep, twelve bushels of salt, etc &c. He obtained judgment for 435 lbs. ... " [Ref: Virginia Tax Records, Tithables of Lancaster Co., Virginia 1654, p. 248]

2545 Transcript of a Letter Written By
Phebe Ann Huffman Carr Carr Davis
To Her Unmarried Daughter, Cora Carr

Hunnewell, Mo., June 4,1904, Afternoon

Dear

I will endeavor to answer some of your inquired, if not all. My Grandfather was not in the regular army of the Revolutionary war but was one of a company that marched out through West Virginia, to the Ohio on some official business, he being under age for a soldier. I never heard of his having any brothers or sisters in America. He had two cousins in Kentucky, Michael and Hoffman. There is where Paul got his Hoff (instead of Huff) as Father wrote his name. Father's name was Michael. He had one brother Henry and four sisters. Sally and Lizzie married Rexroads, Polly married a Moyers; Katy a Jordan.

My Grandmothers name was Elizabeth Hull. I think that General Hull and Captain Hull were her relatives. Grandmother had several sisters. One married a Yeager, one a Sigaluce and two others that I can't remember their names.

My mother's name was Susanna Summers. She had two sisters, Rachael Coulter and Phebe Davis and four brothers. Jehu Summers lived In Elks River some 50 miles above Charleston West Virginia. He had a large family, 2 wives (one at a time) and 20 cildren. George Summers lived in Lewis County Virginia; had two daughters and four sons. William Summers lived in Summersville, West Virginia, where Grandfather Paul Summers and Elizabeth my grandma died. Adam Summers lived and died in Kansas City, Mo. My grandparents all lived to be 80 or over. Father 89; mother 86; Aunt Katy 96; Brother William 93. There was some consumption in the family. I think it was brought on by exposure and weaving carpets wore than hereditary, as it seemed to be from the Huffman families.

Of course you know that mother had a large family. Augusta Rouse's Mother was my sister; also Dyer Booth's Grandmother was my sister Naomi. Sister Elizabeth Mitchell and Rachel Rainer was also my sister. You know my two brothers Hoffmans and 34)Huffmans but all full brothers.


My Mother had two sisters, Rachel married William Coulter. They had five children - three sons and two daughters. Adam Coulter moved from Ohio to Maryville Missouri, where he settled on a farm. Naomi Butler lived in Ohio. They had several childen, Tom not far from Gyandot West Virginia. Harriet, George, Charley and Minna daughter of Adam Coulter; They lived in and near Maryville, Nodaway County Sam Coulter moved to Illinois and took his mother with him where she died about 20 miles south of Quincy. Paul Coulter moved to Maryville Missouri also. He had two sons. He died in or near Maryville, Missouri. One of Rachel Coulter girls married Hunter. They had several children. Jane and Maggy. They lived in Irontan, Ohio.

Archie Rexroad enlisted in 34th Illinois was shot in Tennessee.
Full name Samuel Archibald Rexroad, son of Samuel Rexroad and Mahulda Huffman.

Asa Mitchell, son of John and Elizabeth Mitchell enlisted in 83rd Illinois and was riddled with bullets as he raised the flag of fallen standard bearer near Lookout Mountain.

William Rainer was in Andersonville Prison.

Phebe Ann Huffman Great Grandfather was born on the high seas when his parents were coming from Germany to America. I used to say to her: "The only thing I have against you is that your ancestors were Germans." To which she replied - "Well I ca't help that, they got away as soon as they could." His name was Frederick Huffman.

Her Grandfather, Henry Huffman when 17 and too young to enlist was sent as a special messenger to General Braddock with the Army of Virginia under the command of Major George Washington in November 1755 who took the expedition to Port Duquesnenow Pittsburgh) to help th_ colonists capture Fort Duquesne and the Ohio Valley and rescue General Braddock's army.

Her Father Michael Henry Huffman had recruited a company, trained, ready to go to the front in the War of 1812 when peace was declared.

Grandfather Henry Huffman had two cousins in Kentucky - Michael and Henry Hoffman. That is how Paul came to use the "o" instead of Huffman.
Father Michael Huffman had one brother Henry, and four sisters. Sally and Lizzie married Rexroads, Polly married a Moyers, and Katy married a Jordan. Michael married Susanna Summers (1806).

Phebe Ann Huffman was born Sept 4, 1831 in Randolph County, West Virginia, and 30 miles from Beverly the county seat on Tiger River - what was called Tiger Valley. When between seven and eight we moved to Braxton County five miles up the riverrom Suttonsville the county seat and about two miles south of what is now Plar Woods Station.

I had to row across Elk River and walk over the hill about a mile to school to Flat Woods Creek. I came west in the spring of 1850 with Mother and Altea. We first stayed with John and Elizabeth Mitchell; then with the Rexroads and Adam Huffma. I was married at Adam's in the log house with cement milk house at the head of Sulpher Spring Creek on Nov. 2, 1851.

[Extract of letter written by Phebe Ann Huffman)

I do not know where the Hulls came from to West Virginia, but they lived east of the Allegheny Mountains on or near the South Branch of the Potomac River in a place called the "Bull Pasture", I think in Pendleton County, not sure about county.randma Elizabeth Hull married Paul Summers and both died at Summersvilles West Virginia.

General William Hull, the hero of 1776 who surrendered at Detroit August 16, 1812 was a relative; also his nephew Capt. Isaac Hull commander of the Constitution ("Old Ironsides") which defeated and sunk S. S. Guerruere on Aug. 10, 1812.

There was also a Wash Hull of later date of whom Paschal Davis used to speak, also his sister Phebe Wilson mentioned Wash when I visited her at Staunton Virginia November 8, 1901.

Elizabeth had several sisters. One married a Yeagar; one a Sigaluce, Cornal or Cornell Hull was a first cousin of Elizabeth.

Paul and Elizabeth Summers had seven children -

(1) Susanna Summers married Michael Huffman and had thirteen children.
(2) Rachel Summers married William Coulter and they had three sons and two daughters.
(3) Phebe Summers married a Davis. There were four brothers.

(1) Jehu Summers lived in Elk River, some 50 miles above Charleston, West Virginia; He married twice and had 20 children. (C. W. Bell says 21.)
(2) George Summers lived in Lewis County, Virginia. He had two daughters and four sons.
(3) William Summers lived in Summersville, West Virginia where Paul and Elizabeth died.
(4) Adam Summers lived and died in Kansas City, Missouri.

Naomi had seven children - two living, one in Colorado, Julie Harmon, one in Comanche, Iowa.

Angeline had five children. Elizabeth had four two living at last account. Mollie in Dakota and Martha Young in Nebraska.

Rachel had ten children, James and Jasper Rainer in Southern Kansas, Mary Marlow and Adam Rainer in S. W. Missouri, Susan Cox and Cetelba Ford in Montana. Elizabeth Hull in N. W. Iowa, Louella Ford in Wisconsin, Mahulda Raxroad had 3 children,ugusta living near Grand Island, Nebraska, Adam in Denver Colorado. One girl died young.

It was probably Grandfather Huffman's place that William visited. He was living when William was married to Polly; Mother took care of him in his last sickness. Grandpa Summers had moved with Uncle William to Summersville, West Virginia. Granda Huffman lived in Pendleton County east of the Seleglung Mountains.

Sawyer Davis says Carmel Peter Hull was mother's first cousin and his sons being our second cousins.

Your affectionate Mother
P. A. Davis .

2547 Upon arrival, the Scotch-Irish petitioned the assembly of Massachusetts for a tract of land. The signatures of Archibald Mackmurphy and John Macmurphy are found among the early petitioners of the in habitants of Londonderry before 1738 (Belknap, 1970). The assembly gave them permission to stake out a settlement of six miles square in any unappropriated lands eastward. The Mc Murphy family, along with many of the Scotch-Irish families, settled in an area above Haverhill in New Hampshire referred to as Nutfield because of the great number of chestnut and walnut trees there. They first built huts near a brook which falls into the Beaver River. They brought with them the necessary materials for the manufacture of linen and their spinning wheels. They planted flax, cultured pototoes, churned milk, drank buttermilk , and made barley broth, none of which the English did (Preston, 1930). The way Massachusetts in provided settlement lands to the Scotch-Irish was to have them settle on the frontiers as a living shield against the French and the Indians. The motive of the Ulstermen in coming to New England was to establish homes and commercial activities with ownership of the land and less government control, and to be free to worship as they saw fit. The Scotch-Irish emigrants were also offended at being called "Irish" because they had frequently ventured their lives for the British crown against the Irish papist. The people in New England did not understand the distinction and it was some time before they were treated with common decency. Inter-marriage among the Scotch-Irish families was very common for the first few generations because of the ill-treatment that they received from established settlers. The first dwellings were made of logs but, as saw-mills were built along the area where Beaver Brook tumbles from the pond into the Merrimac, two good frame houses were erected. The first frame house was for Pastor McGregor and the second frame house was for John McMurphy, Esquire (Scotch-Irish Society, 1889). John McMurphy, Esq. held a commission as justice of the peace, dated in Ireland, and so antedated the commission signed by Governor Shute on 29April 1720, to Justice James McKeen, the foremost man of the settlement.
