Notebook - Connecticut No. 3

Chatfield, Priscilla. "A Connecticut Case Study: Captain Benjamin Frank Noyes, Mariner of Mystic River, Connecticut," New England Ancestors, Summer, 2002.

Captain Benjamin Frank Noyes (ca. 1828-1879) of Mystic River, CT, began his mariner's career at age sixteen when he shipped out on the whaling vessel Coriolanus. He was a member of the Baptist church. His papers are housed at the G.W. Blunt White Library (Mystic Seaport Museum, Inc.).  Captain Noyes parents have never been identified.  The author presents her research into his genealogy. 

Biographical Review of New London County, CT - Mr. Noyes b. Stonington, lived on farm until age 16 - shipped out on whaler Coriolanus under Captain Gustavus Appleman. 

Genealogical & Biographical Records of New London County, CT - article about Noyes' son-in-law Christopher Morgan: Benjamin F. Noyes, father of Mrs. [Edith] Morgan, died in Savannah, Ga., June 18, 1879, son of Frank and grandson of Nathan Noyes.  Is this information true?

Genealogy of Rev. James Noyes of Stonington does not include the captain, but does include his daughter Edith, calling her ancestry unknown.  The absence of his genealogy may mean he was illegitimate. No birth record was found.  Census records indicate he was born ca. 1828 in Stonington, Connecticut, the informant is not apparent and the captain may have been away at sea.

Married: 1725 Mary O'Dell in Orange Co., NY - no record of marriage, but widely accepted 

Biography: Abraham Denton was born say 1705 in Hempstead, Long Island.  The earliest reference to him is dated 19 November 1729 when for £60 he purchased a 87-acre "messuage or track of land" in Haverstraw, New York, from "Abraham Denton Senor" (Orange County Deeds 1:212). The map of original plots in the Kakiat Patent in Orange County shows two adjacent lots belonging to "Abraham Denton," one of 120 acres and one larger, but no deed has been found for either of them, nor for the disposal of the above 87 acres when Abraham left Orange County. His last appearance on the New York record is 30 April 1734 when at the "Court of General Session of the Peace held at Orange Town . . . the King Against Abrm Denton Junr. . . . the Defendt

Research Log - Residence Chart

Mom shared this Pedigree Chart with Movement with me yesterday and I've been working to create one for my lines in Excel. 

I ended up splitting it into four charts that cover up to 8 generations which gets me back to the immigrant ancestor and they are huge! Or when resized, so small you can't read them.  Yes, I am technologically challenged!

So here is my attempt at a simpler representation of the Lathrop line.  The "first" residence in the line is the last place the person lived.  

Gen 1- (me) - Kentucky - North Carolina - Kansas - Missouri - Illinois 
Gen. 2 to Gen. 4 Illinois -> Wayne Co. - Lawrence Co. 
Gen. 5 & 6- Illinois - Indiana - Vermont 
Gen. 7 - Canada - Vermont 
Gen. 8 & 9  Connecticut 
Gen. 9 - Connecticut - Massachusetts 
Gen. 9 - Massachusetts

Research Log - Tipton Family

As the last two ahnentafel entries are sketchy at best I started looking into the Tiptons.  They are easier to sort out than the Hunts.  I came across Charles Heinemann's Tipton Family of Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, printed in 1934 which is available on Ancestry.

In the preface he states that "these notes represent an effort to arrange the various conflicting data on this famous family in a manner that will reconcile, as nearly as possible, the various lines, so as to aid future searches."

Edward Tipton is the man Heinemann points to as the possible emigrant ancestor in Maryland even though there are some gaps between him and the next known generation.

In England there is a Tipton Parish in an Urban District of South Staffordshire.  It is an ancient church, and its parish registers go back to an early period.

The name Tipton appears in the Domesday Book as Tibintone.  Its meaning was "the tun or town of Tib's or Tibba's people."  It has been suggested on very good authority, that the name had its origin from Seventh Century St. Tybba, patroness of hunting.

As early as 1606 there were Tiptons in Bedford County, England.

Here is the line as Heineman lays it out:

I. Edward Tipton b. 1620, d. ? An Edward Tipton immigrated to Maryland in 1668 in the ship Friendship of London.  Wife unknown.  [Annapolis Land Office Records, Libra 11, Folio 379 and W.C. 2, Folio 123 for service 1680]
