Richmonds & Connected Lineages

What William Makepeace Thackeray Wrote

2012-01-30T06:27:00.000-08:00

From The Richmond family, 1594-1896, and pre-American ancestors, 1040-1594 by Joshua Bailey Richmond:

William Makepeace Thackeray wrote of Colonel John Richmond-Webb (whose name may be found in the Gazetteer of the English Army): "He came of a very ancient Wiltshire family, which he respected above all families in the world; he could prove a lineal descent from King Edward I, and his first ancestor, Roaldus de Richmond, rode by William the Conqueror's side on Hastings Field. 'We were gentlemen,' Colonel Webb used to say, 'when the Churchills were horse-boys.'"

William Richmond Alias Webb In British History

This blurb from British History online, "In 1540 the site of the abbey's manor and lands called Turneys and Uffcott were granted to William Richmond alias Webb (d. 1579)," reminded me that my presumed Richmond ancestors were also Richmonds alias Webbs.

Before that quote was this information:

"A knight's fee in OVERWROUGHTON was granted early in the 12th century to Tewkesbury Abbey by Adelize, wife of Robert de Dunstanville, and probably heir of Humphrey Lisle. It was confirmed to the abbey by Walter de Dunstanville, probably him who died in 1195. Tewkesbury retained a manor in Overwroughton until the Dissolution."

Details from Joshua Bailey Richmond's The Richmond Family book seem to corroborate the above information:

A Tenant In Claverack

2011-12-03T07:39:00.000-08:00

Alexander Hamilton was embroiled in land dispute cases in early New York history. So was Edward Richmond. Was it my Edward Richmond?

From The Law Practice Of Alexander Hamilton....:

"[Legal] Actions were brought against Edward Richmond and Charles Truesdale, Coenradt Ring, and Jacob Gaul for lands at Claverack*. All were entered in January vacation 1793 and were filed on April 11, 1793. File numbers for the counts in the writs of right** are: Richmond, V-273; Truesdale, V-279; Gaul, V-280; Ring, V-282; all in Pleadings 1754-1837 (Ms. HR)."

"Actions by writ of right were entered in January term...against four tenants." "....all appeared by their attorney, John Bay." "Attorney for the demandants was Elihu Chauncey Goodrich, ... Richard Harison was [probably] masterminding the litigation."

"...Edward Livingston appeared on behalf of John Bay and at his prayer an appearance for both tenants [Richmond and Truesdale] was entered." ...A return of the petit capes [was] on January 31, 1795.

*Edward Richmond was on a 1767 Tax List of Claverack, Columbia Co., New York.

**"The writ of right procedure was an intolerably dilatory action...." The writ of right may have been first used in New York in the Nicholas DeRiemer case by Alexander Hamilton.

In a similar case, "the Van Rensselaer devisees were having no more happy experience with the ejectment actions filed on October 20, 1792, against Caleb Clark and three other tenants." [Alexander Hamilton was one of the Van Rensselaer devisees]. Coenradt Ring and Jacob Gaul were defendant tenants in the Van Rensselaer devisees case as well.

From History of Providence Co., Rhode Island:
George Lewis Gower was born November 6th, 1849, at New Sharon, Maine. His father, Harrison Bartlett Gower, was a Baptist clergyman, and died in 1859, leaving his wife, Maria Susan (Dix), a widow, with three boys, aged respectively nine, seven and five. George, the eldest of the three, was educated in Abbott's School in Farmington, Maine, in grammar and high school in Providence, R. I., and Brown University, in the class of 1871. He studied law with Samuel Currey of Providence four years, and was admitted to the bar there in December, 1871. He was clerk of the Rhode Island house of representatives from 1876 to 18S6 and judge advocate general of the state from 1883 to 1888. He has been associated with his brother, Fred. A. Gower, in telephone affairs from 1878. He was never extensively engaged in legal practice, but was connected with Providence newspapers from1867 to 1880, and has acquired interests in telephone affairs and other business connections in Rhode Island and in Washington state, and is largely interested in the growth and development of the city of Tacoma, in the latter state. He was married in January, 1873, at Providence, to
Frances, daughter of Hon. J. M. Blake, of Bristol, R. I. They have two children— Hope, born in 1875, and George Lewis, jr., born in 1876.

Hope And Frances, Martha (Richmond) Daggett's Twins

 This Hope Daggett?

One of the sensations of the hour during my sojourn in Springfield, was
an encounter between the State Street Baptist Church and Hope Daggett,
one of its members. The disaffected sister had at sundry times and in
divers manners made herself so obnoxious to the congregation, by her
strong-minded peculiarities, that an officer was called upon the scene
and requested to eject by force, if necessary, the eccentric and
uncompromising Hope. Officer Maxwell, suiting the action to the word,
seized the unruly sister, and without stopping to consider the sudden
fame which this act would launch upon him, thrust her into the street,
amid the cheers and taunts of friends and enemies. Now it was the
peculiar misfortune of Miss Daggett to have a wooden leg, and on the day
following this tragic affair the press of Springfield was devoted to
various accounts of the engagement, in which Maxwell and the wooden leg
figured alternately. [Source]

Amanandah (Holland) Palen, Daughter of Abigail Richmond?

2011-09-15T07:42:00.000-07:00

Amanandah Palen's death record clearly named her parents as James Holland and Abigail Richmond. However, the marriage record between John Palen and Amaranda stated that her last name was MORRIS and her parents were Thomas and Abigail Morris. On Ichabod Palen's birth record, his mother Amaranda's maiden name was listed as Morris. However, Ichabod Richmond was Abigail Richmond's father; was Ichabod named after his great-grandfather?

The probate of Ichabod Holland's estate with Ichabod Palen as an involved party was in an Ontario court; Ichabod Palen was named as Ichabod Holland's nephew which would add evidence that his mother was a Holland, not a Morris.

2513. Abigail Richmond (7), born about 1804; married James Holland. Resided in Murray, C.W.

Also mentioned in the Lowell Public Library page article:
Jonah's brother, Franklin, settled in Chicago where he built an iron foundry called the Franklin Iron Works. It is now the Wisconsin Steel Mills and a subsidiary of U.S. Steel. One living granddaughter of Jonah Thorne, a daughter of the Perry Clarks, is Mrs. Etta Vories, age 79, of Port Huron, Mich. She will be in Lowell for centennial festivities. Other descendants, many living in Lowell, are Walter James, Getti Powell, Mrs.Agnes Machacek, Mrs. Iva Nichols, Mrs. Alice Ruley, Myrtle Johnson, Thorne Clark, Millard, Virginia and Margaret Clark.

Phebe (Richmond) Thorne was living in Lowell, Lake Co., Indiana, in 1860, with her husband Jonah and others. Her 18 year old daughter, Sarah Jane, was living with her husband, Perry D. Clark, also in Lake County, Indiana. Daughter (Lauretta) Abigail and her husband, John Ault were living in Allen Co., Kansas, in 1860.

Deliverance & Rhoda (Richmond) Smith

2011-04-15T07:41:00.000-07:00

My Richmond lineage mirrors Rhoda's From John (1) through Edward (5).

943. RHODA RICHMOND, 6 (Edward 5, Benjamin 4, Edward 3, Edward 2, John 1) was born in Spencertown, N.Y. She married Deliverance Smith. He removed to Canada, near Niagara Falls, but came back to serve in the Revolutionary War; he returned after the War, and died there.

CHILDREN:

2498. Elizabeth Smith 7, born about 1780; died in 1811.
2499. Abigail Smith 7 married Timothy Street
2500. Rhoda Smith 7.
2501. Phineas Smith 7.
2502. Sisson Smith 7.

There were perhaps other children.

Deliverance Smith married 2nd, Sarah (Doty), the widow of James (Reuben) Conger, on January 1, 1814, in Berne, Albany, New York. Sarah's 1st husband died in March of 1813; she died on August 10, 1863. Sarah Doty Conger Smith was a descendant of Mayflower passenger Edward Doty.

Image from Deliverance Smith's Revolutionary War Pension Application at Footnote.com

...Captain Melancton Smith's Company, Colonel Graham's New York Regiment and was engaged in guarding the bridges in Westchester County, New York, during this service, he was in three skirmishes; about two years thereafter, Deliverance Smith, having in the interval, married and moved to Spencertown, Columbia County, New York, and called out in a general alarm, and served two weeks in Captain Rowley's Company, Colonel Scott's New York Regiment.

After the Revolution, Deliverance Smith resided in Spencertown, New York, about twelve years; then moved to Berne, Albany County, New York; returned to Spencertown, then moved to Athens, Greene County, New York, thence to Morrisania, Westchester County, New York, thence to Saint David's, Upper Canada; then returned to Berne, New York.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 28, 1832, while residing in Berne, New York.

He [Deliverance Smith] died at said Berne October 18, 1838.

In the DAR database Deliverance Smith is Ancestor Number A105111; Mrs. John Newbury (Margaret) is listed as Deliverance Smith's daughter. A letter dated 1937 from Blanch (Mrs. R.E.) Van Noy of Albany, New York, stated that Deliverance Smith was her great-great-great grandfather.

Deliverance Smith was also in Captain Cooper's Rangers in New York along with Israel Smith, Phillip Smith, and Melancton Smith.

A Deliverance Smith was found in the Old First Baptist Church Cemetery in North Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York (33:39). Sarah (Doty) Smith was buried in Arabia Cemetery, Delaware Co., New York.

Abigail (Smith) Street, Daughter of Rhoda Richmond

2011-04-12T09:34:00.000-07:00

From Rhoda (Richmond) Smith's lineage:

943. RHODA RICHMOND, 6 (Edward 5, Benjamin 4, Edward 3, Edward 2, John 1) was born in Spencertown, N.Y. She married Deliverance Smith. He removed to Canada, near Niagara Falls, but came back to serve in the Revolutionary War...

CHILD:

2499. Abigail Smith 7 [b. 1783 in Hillsdale, NY], married Timothy Street.

Abigail Smith's husband, Timothy Street, was a member of a Loyalist family. After moving from New York to St. David's, near Niagara (also where Abigail's father, Deliverance lived), Timothy and Abigail moved to what were formerly the lands of the indigenous Mississauga people. There they founded the town of Streetsville, Ontario, Canada. Here is a photograph of the Timothy Street house (41 Mill Street), built in 1825, probably the first brick house in what is now Peel County. According to the Streetsville walking tour map, there is also an Abigail Street house, built in 1850, at 27 Mill Street.

The Heritage Mississauga site stated that Abigail (Smith) Street's death occurred in 1859.

From an Archaeological Assessment...

Lot 13 was patented by Timothy Street on January 13, 1820. Street was born in the United States in 1777, but settled near the village of St. David’s in Niagara Township where other members of his family had settled. Street was a saddler by trade, who had served in the 1st Troop of the Niagara (Provincial) Light Dragoons during the War of 1812. In 1818, he entered into a partnership with Richard Bristol for surveying the “Mississauga Tract” (now part of Peel County) which the government had recently purchased. In lieu of cash payment for their work, Street and Bristol were granted blocks of land within the newly surveyed tract. Street was awarded at least 1,000 acres in Toronto Township alone. Street built a saw and grist mill as well as a tannery on the Credit River in about 1819, and permanently settled with his young family in Toronto Township, at what would later become Streetsville, in 1825. He donated land for use as a non-denominational burial ground in Streetsville. He died in 1848 aged 71, and his wife Abigail Smith Street died in 1859 at the age of 76 (Gray 1995:170; Lauber 1995:88).

According to FindAGrave, the land where Streetsville Public Cemetery is located, was inherited by Lenora (Street) Doherty (Mrs. George), from her father, Timothy Street. Streetsville Memorial Cemetery (established much earlier than Streetsville Public Cemetery) was also located on land once owned by Timothy Street.

An Ancestral File Record for the children of Timothy and Abigail (Smith) Street can be found here.

At the convention of the Governor's Council, as supreme ordinary of the English colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at Newport, May, 1760, William Richmond, Esq., was one of ten Assistants of Gov. Stephen Hopkins. He was one of the Representatives of the town in 1779; was first Deputy in 1780, '81, '88, '90, '93; Moderator of Town Meeting in 1777, '82, '83, '86, 87, '88 and '91; and on the Committee of Safety for the County of Newport. He served in one or two campaigns in the Canada War, as Lieutenant under his brother, Col. Barzillai; was Lieutenant of a company sent against Crown Point in 1755, and Captain in Col. [Christopher] Champlin's regiment in 1756. He had a command as Colonel in the Revolutionary War, and was Colonel of the State Brigade in 1776; was Military Governor of Newport at one time during the War. He went on a military expedition to Long Island. The British had penetrated to the east part o the Island, and he went, with a detachment of soldiers, from the Connecticut shore, and dispersed them. Col. William Richmond and Gen. Barton, who surprised and took Prescott prisoner, were on terms of closest intimacy. The General was accustomed to spend a part of the summer with Col. Richmond.

The Richmonds freed their slaves before the Revolution, and settled them in Dartmouth Woods. The Richmond Farm, owned and occupied by Col. William Richmond, lies north of the farm now owned by Frederick Brownell, Esq. (which was formerly the property of Judge Perez Richmond), and extends from the road to the Seaconnet River. Here Capt. Edward Richmond (first of the name) settled, died, and was buried. His tombstone is still visible in the old family burying-ground. This farm was in the possession of the family continuously until within a few years. Rev. William Richmond of New York bought two and a half acres of land of Primus Collins, given to him by Col. Richmond, tore the old house down, and made the Richmond Farm complete as it was in the beginning before the Colonel's gift to Collins.

There is a noted and historical place on the farm called Awashonks' Rock, or Treaty Rock (named after Awashonks, the Queen Sachem of the Seaconnet Indians), where Col. Benjamin Church made his treaty with Awashonks in King Philip's War. It was through his means and negotiations that the Indians of Seaconnet were induced to break off their alliance with the Sachem of Mount Hope*. *The History of King Philip's War, by Col. Church's son, has this passage: "Col. Benj. Church made a treaty at a rock on the farm of Edward Richmond, with Awashonks, the Squaw Sachem of the Seconnets, which broke the power and heart of Melacomet."

The following is the inscription upon the tombstone in the old family burial place, located near the house:

"Col. Wm. Richmond, who having served his
country in several public stations for many
years, departed this life Sept. 23, 1807,
81 years of age."

Col. Richmond was a large man, with very white hair in his old age. He was a gentleman of the old school, but jocose, liberal, and greatly beloved by his family and kindred. He was wealthy, for the times, and one of the first men in the town, very active and public-spirited in all its affairs. Many anecdotes are told of him and his slaves, of which the following may be interesting:

Once, in high party times, Col. Richmond was told by the presiding officer that his vote would be taken out of the ballot-box (though well known since boyhood to every man in the town), because he had not registered his name; the Colonel replied, "If you touch my vote, I shall come down with this cane on your head," at the same time holding the vote in his left hand and the rebellious cane in the right hand. The officer attempted to extract the vote, and the cane came down and hindered the operation. A row ensued, in the midst of which an unexpected combatant appeared. Primus Collins, who had been honored with election to the negro governship of Rhode Island (an ancient custom in that State), and who was always called Governor Collins, was in the gallery. The white of his eyes and of his teeth were soon visible, and exclaiming, "It is about time for this darkey to drop," he leaped from the gallery into the midst of the combatants, and by means of his black face, sudden appearance, and vigorous blows, scattered the opponents of "Old Master" right and left, and the vote remained undisturbed.

Primus Collins had been a slave of the Colonel, and was subject to twenty-five years' service, but he liberated him and afterwards gave him a farm. Then he became a free voter, by the ownership of the land. col. Richmond took him to the polls and told him to put in his vote. The moderator forbade it, and said he had no right. Col. Richmond drew up his cane, and with a loud voice declared, "That man shall vote"; and he became a voter until his death. Afterwards, however, Isaac Wilbour (who was Chief-Justice and Member of Congress) of Little Compton, got the word "white" inserted in the statute respecting voting. Col. Richmond had another slave named Saul, who had the entire supervision and control of his farm. He found a negro woman and bought her, and had Saul marry her. They had children, one of whom he gave to Rev. Mace Shepard, his minister, and others to some of his friends. One was named Jeffries, in derision of the Chief-Justice of England. Saul was complete master of ceremonies and affairs about the farm. An ox could not be bought without his presence and counsel. Mr. Shaw, a member of the Senate of Rhode Island from Little Compton, said of the Richmonds in Little Compton, "D__d proud family; they esteem their negroes better than common folks."

The Colonel was an ardent patriot and Revolutionist. He resided at one time, about the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle, at the house of his brother Barzillai in Providence, who was a good Deacon, but timid and peace-loving, if he did not in his heart sympathize with the Tories. The good man had family worship regularly every morning. Three days passed. The following morning the Deacon, as usual, had read the Scripture and was rising in order to pay, when the colonel caught up his famous and trusty cane, and raising it above his head, exclaimed, "Stop!" and added, "I have been her now three days, and every morning you have prayed and haven't mentioned the American Congress, nor prayed for the success of the American arms. Now, by G_d, if you don't this morning, I'll knock you down with the cane when you say 'Amen'." It is said the Colonel was not religious,--but he certainly believed in the efficacy of prayer, and his patriotism was beyond a doubt.

Primus Collins lived in Little Compton many years, and died February 7, 1858, aged eighty-one years. He was highly esteemed, and was a worthy and pious man. His daughter married Charles Simmons (in 1855, 1860), and lived at one time at the head of Middle Street, New Bedford, Mass. [Note: Primus Collins married Elizabeth Thomas 29 September 1799 in Little Compton, RI]

William Richmond was a Mayflower descendant (John Alden & Priscilla Mullins).

Mrs. Cyrus H. S. (Nancy Richmond) Powers

2011-03-17T06:07:00.000-07:00

James Richmond (Nancy's father) could be the brother of my Elijah Richmond. I say could be because Elijah was named as the son of Edward(6) AND Edward(5) in the J. B. Richmond book. I'm also interested in this family because my maiden name is POWERS, although there is no relationship to the Cyrus & Nancy (Richmond) Powers family.

5275. NANCY RICHMOND 8, (James 7, Edward 6, Edward 5, Benjamin 4, Edward 3, Edward 2, John 1) was born in Wayne, N. Y., May 15, 1818. She married, in 1839, Cyrus H. S., son of John Powers of Pleasant Valley, Ill. He was a farmer and stock-raiser in 1862. They resided in Providence, Bureau County, Ill.

Cyrus & Nancy (Richmond) Powers were the parents of:

7427. Julia Powers who married Joseph Young
7428. John Powers who married [Eliza A. Partridge]
7429. Sarah Powers who married Walter O. Carpenter
7430. Philena Powers who married 1st Francis Lefever & 2nd Henry Buswell
7431. James R. Powers
7432. Mary Eliza Powers
7433. Cyrus C. Powers m. 1st Emma Brown; 2nd Jennie Lind Shepard
7434. William W. Powers

In 1850 the Cyrus Powers family was living in Wheeler, Steuben Co., New York. In 1860 and 1870, Cyrus H. S. and Nancy Powers were living in Indiantown, Bureau Co., Illinois. Their son, John & Eliza (Partridge) were living near them in 1870.

The family was also in the 1860 census.

Was Mrs. Richmond using Anna/Annie before her husband died? Charles B. & Anna L. Richmond, with 9 year old Guy Richmond, were living in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1870. Charles was a paper manufacturer.

Nancy Locke Richmond formally changed her name on September 23, 1879:

In 1880 Nancy or Annie was enumerated as C.B. Richmond! Living with her on Andover Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, were her daughter and son-in-law, Carrie and E.A. Coffin, and Nancy/Annie's son (first name not listed), age 8 [prob. 18] and 2 servants.

Carrie (Richmond) Coffin (1844-1914) was unhappy with her mother's decision to change her name to "Annie" because it was perceived as an insult to her late father, Charles B. Richmond. There was a "lingering estrangement" at the time of Annie's death.
