[Holbrook.ged] MARY Howe wheel lists Mary as Abraham's first wife. Howe Genealogy has no name for her. New England Marriages Prior to 1700 lists Elizabeth as first wife and Sarah as second wife, although first children were born in England. Why would NEMP1700 list his wife at all, if he was married in England. Were there three wives?

[Holbrook.ged] Ballard. WILLIAM BALLARD, a farmer from London, England, sailed in 1630 in the "Mary and John," Captain Sayres, and settled at Lynn, Mass., with his wife, Sarah, and several children. When the celebrated military organization, the "Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company," was first organized in 1638 he was one of the original members. He was appointed magistrate in 1638. He died about 1643. A day or two before his death it is recorded that he intended to make his will the next day, but died before he could put it to writing. He would have his wife, Sarah, have half, and his children the other half of his estate. WILLIAM BALLARD, son of William and Sarah ((???)) Ballard, was born in England in 1603 and sailed from London in 1635 in the ship "James," with his wife, Elizabeth, and one child, Esther, then two years of age. He settled first at Lynn, Mass., and later at Andover, where he was a considerable land owner. He died at Andover, July 10, 1689. One of his sons, Joseph, has the notoriety of being the cause of the first charge of witchcraft against citizens of Andover during that strange and horrible craze. His wife had been sick for many weeks and medicine brought no relief. Her husband finally decided to try the so-called spiritual methods for ascertaining the cause of her ailment. Accordingly, he sent to Salem and induced two of the party of young girls, who were engaged in that strange work there, to come over to Andover. They were received with great solemnity, and were immediately conducted to the meeting-house, where a season of prayer followed. They were then abjured to tell the truth, and, upon being questioned, named certain persons in Andover and other places as tormentors of the sick woman. The constable, another son of William Ballard, forthwith obtained warrants for the arrest of the accused, and hurried them off to Salem jail. Others were accused, and in a short time forty prisoners were placed in irons and huddled together in the limited space within the jail. The story of the horrible affair need not be retold. In all, eight Andover citizens were condemned, three were hanged and one died in prison, not to mention the victims from other towns. Husband: William BALLARD Birth: ca. 1615/6/7, of Lothingland Hundred, Bradwell, co. Suffolk ?Essex?, England Death: 10 Jul 1689, Andover, Essex Co., MA Transhumance (probably): 1634, Southampton, England, to Massachusetts on the Mary and John per Tepper's "Passengers to America", Willliam Ballard, age 32, travelled with Elizabeth Ballard, age 26 and Hester Ballard, age 2 and Jo: Ballard, age 1.

ID Number: A-SCOTT**-000073[Holbrook.ged] Rank, Name, Age Date Inspected, Pay/Month Regiment, Corps, or Ship in which they served Disability and the reasons that occasioned it. Private Charles Scott, 27 Jan. 23, 1786 $2.50 Maj. General Sullivan's Life Guard Lame hip, occasioned by a wound received in action with the British on Rhode Island, Aug. 29, 1778, which renders the hip joint stiff, and has drawn the joint up in such a manner as to shorten right the leg about five inches, which renders it difficult for him to travel, the ball remaining in the hip or thigh, which has occasioned the wound to break out several times, per certificate from Dr. John Gould and Capt. Aaron Mann, who commanded the guard. 17 June 1760 per family papers a Private in Colonel Sullivan's RI Militia Life Guards a letter in the family collection is as follows: Woonsocket May 24, 1893 Dear Mrs. Holbrook (Maud S.) According to promise I send you all I find in my Colonial Records concerning your ancestor Charles Scott. The name of Slack appears in several instances in these records, but no Eliphalet Slack. Sarah Brown thinks he was a Boston man. If he was a Massachusetts man it is not likely that his name would be found in our RI records. I will try Olney Arnold and see if he can give me any account of Mr. Slack. Your friend, D. D. Farnum (attached info) Charles Scott, a soldier in the Revolution, was a private in Major General Sullivan's Life Guard., Rhode Island Militia, was wounded in the hip in a battle with the British in Rhode Island Aug. 29, 1778 which renders the hip joint stiff, and has drawn the joint up in such a manner as to shorten the right leg about five inches, which renders it difficult for him to travel, the ball remaining in the hip or thigh, which has occasioned the wound to break out several times, per certificate from Dr. John Gould and Capt. Aaron Mann, who commanded the guard. Charles Scott was at this time about 20 years of age. Being disabled, he was honorably discharged from service March 16, 1779. In January 1782 the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island voted to pay Wm. Bradford for medicine and attendance on Charles Scott 16 pounds, 16 shillings, 6 pence and at the same time voted Mr. Scott one hundred dollars in money "for his wound". In June 1785 the United States Congress passed an act pensioning all disabled and wounded soldiers of the Revolution during life. Chas. Scott had a pension of $2.50 per month from the time of his discharge March 16, 1779. On the 23 January 1786 his pension with interest amounted to 37 pounds, 1 shilling, 6 pence and was paid about this time. The pension continued during his life; later on it may have been increased. I find nothing later about him, however, and do not know the date of his death. DDF per family papers: "Gramma Scott went to the Battle field and found her wounded brother took care of him in a barn he carried the bullet in his hip for over 60 years". The wounded brother was Charles Scott, b. 17 June 1763(0) - my great grandfather" Clara F. Holbrook. "Charles Scott was father of Jeremiah Scott) in family papers: Application for Membership The Order of the founders and Patriots of America (never submitted, as far as I know)
