From the History of Montana:

Mr. [Everitt Hiram] Brundage's father, Hiram Brundage, was born in Canada, came to the United States when a boy and first settled in Indiana. He came to this state in 1863 and has ever since been in the west. During Indian war times he was telegraph operator at Bridger, driving through the country under the escort of soldiers and assisting in getting the first telegraph line through to Salt Lake City. It was he who established the Dillon Tribune, one of the leading newspapers of Montana. Now retired, he resides in Lower California, and enjoys universal respect. The mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Holiday, married in Pennsylvania and died in Virginia City, Montana, where she is interred. There were five children in the elder Brundage family, the subject being next to the eldest. The remainder are located as follows: John is married and resides in Beaverhead county; Anna, now the wife of Thomas Shaw, resides in Madison county, 
Montana; Adelaide is married and makes her home in the state of Washington; an infant sister, Elizabeth, died at the age of two years.

Hiram Brundage died in 1914 in California.

(Colonel) Barzillai Richmond



Below is the biography of Barzillai Richmond from the Richmond Family book. Was his possible participation in a famous incident not known when this biography was written (ca 1896)?

The Gaspee Organization makes the case that Barzillai Richmond (and his son and son-in-law)  participated in "the 1772 burning of the hated British revenue schooner, HMS Gaspee, by Rhode Island patriots as America's 'First Blow for Freedom'TM."

343.  (COLONEL) BARZILLAI RICHMOND (5) (William 4, Silvester 3, Edward 2, John 1) was born in Little Compton, R.I., April 13, 1721, and died January 5, 1796.  He married in Providence, November 24, 1743, Sarah, daughter of Ebenezer and Elizabeth Knight, who was born November 21, 1718, and died October 10, 1791.



He was one of the seceders from the First Congregational Church on account of Josiah Cotton preaching "damnable good works."  He was in the Canada War during two campaigns, and in 1755, and afterwards was ordered to raise a body of men and proceed to the relief of the British Colonial Army on Lake Champlain.  He contracted a disease in one of his legs which made him lame for life.  He was at the siege of Ticonderoga under Dalrymple, as Colonel; he was not, however, in the storming party.  His brother William, of Little Compton, was with him as volunteer lieutenant.

At one time he received orders late Saturday night.  He repaired to his minister's, and had an appropriate sermon preached on Sunday morning; opened a rendezvous for enlistment in the afternoon, and in the evening, with a large company, was on his march.  Of the four companies to be raised as a reinforcement to go against Crown Point under Major-General Johnson, he was captain of the fourth company, and was Lieutenant-Colonel in 1758 and 1760.  He also held various municipal, civil and State offices. 

Children (born in Providence, R.I.):

1023.  William (6), born Aug. 17, 1744; married, 1st, Lois Gray; 2nd Hannah Mason
1024.  Elizabeth (6), born April 5, 1746 (?), married James Searle
1025.  Ebenezer (6), born Feb. 5, 1747; died unmarried
1026.  Mehitable (6), born June 21, 1749; married Lewis Bosworth
1027.  Anna (6), born Oct. 1, 1750; married Silas Talbot
1028.  Sarah (6), born Sept. 28, 1758; died Sept. 12, 1785.

There were probably three other children, viz: Barzillai, Samuel and Cyrus.

His Mayflower connections found here in an article about Elizabeth Pabodie and Descendants.

Barzillai Richmond's name was listed in the Report on the formation of the Society for Providence Society for Abolishing the Slave-Trade, published in the Thursday, Feb. 26, 1789.  His name was also among petitioners for the establishment of a university (Brown University).

Was this Clarence Carpenter, living in Rhode Island, but born in Creston, Iowa, the son of Walter and Sarah?  I would say it's almost a certainty since he named his son Sturgis, after his grandfather, Sturgis Phinney Carpenter.

Nathaniel Richmond - Who Was Killed In Louisbourg Expedition

Nathaniel Richmond was born about 1700 and died in the Louisburg Exepedition, according to the Joshua Bailey Richmond "Richmond Family" book:



64. NATHANIEL RICHMOND 4, (Edward 3, John 2, John 1) was born in Taunton about 1700. He married, November 2, 1732, Alice Hackett, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Elliott) Hackett, born January 18, 1715. He was killed in the Louisburg Expedition in 1763*, and his widow married ---Finney**.
*The date is questionable
** Probably Joseph Phinney

Children (born in Taunton):
230. Nathaniel 5, born in 1733; married 1st Mary Richmond; 2nd Sarah Damon [1731 - 1791/3]
231. Gideon 5, married 1st, Hannah Richmond; 2nd Susannah Busby
232. Alice 5, married Onesimus Campbell***
233. Elizabeth 5, married Ezra Leonard

***The marriage was in 1744 -- was it the widowed Alice Hackett who married Onesimus Campbell? Most likely.

Onesimus and Joseph Phinney (Alice's probable 3rd husband) were listed together in this history of the Church of North Middleborough, Massachusetts. There is an IGI entry that lists the marriage of Alice Hackett and Joseph Phinney on 14 Jan 1762 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts.

From Nathaniel's father's bio in the J.B. Richmond book:


The descendants of Nathaniel 4 say that he was born about 1700; that he was killed at the siege of Louisburg; that he left a son Nathaniel who married his second cousin, Mary Richmond (daughter of John and Dighton (Mirick) Richmond; that this last Nathaniel was born about 1731, and died in 1813, at Camillus New York.

John Richmond, Nathaniel's grandfather married 2nd Abigail Rogers according to the Mayflower descendant publication:

Nathaniel was a member of the Thomas Rogers, Pilgrim, family:

Nathaniel Richmond 5 (Captain Edward 4, Abigail 3 Rogers, Elder John 2, Thomas 1) born ca 1700.

This source stated that there was no verifiable offspring of Nathaniel & Alice (Hackett) Richmond and their descendants are no longer accepted to the Thomas Rogers Society nor the Mayflower Society.
