(A13) BILLINGS, David, b. .at Belchertown, Mass., 17 Oct. 1802: See p. 33 of
the Ellis Family History manuscript showing the family unit of David ELLIS who
m. (2) at Hardwick, Mass., 19 Dec. 1849 Elizabeth Peirce BILLINGS. She b. at
Hardwick 12 May 1807; d. at Ware, Mass., 30 May 1877, dau. of Dr. David BILLINGS
& Elizabeth (Betsey) F. PEIRCE. Dr. David BILLINGS d. at Hardwick, 15 Oct.
1833, age 61 yrs. The nearness of Hardwick and Ware, Mass., to Belchertown,
Mass., may be of significance. Since Elizabeth Peirce BILLINGS was b. 12 May
1807, and your David BILLINGS was b. 17 Oct. 1802, they could be brother and
sister or cousins.

(A15) BIXBY/SMITH - Sarah, w. of Jonathan BIXBY, was dau. of William SMITH,
etc. The dates given in the query are a bit off from the dates given in the
published vital records. William SMITH, b. ca. 1632, at the time of the great
Puritan migration, undoubtedly the son of some elder SMITH colonist. I have
extensive data on William but haven’t been able to establish his par. yet.

Massachusetts, p. 41.

(A35) ELLIS/FALES - Looking for a record of an ELLIS family in New London,
N.H., as early as 1792-1862? Would advise that when I was checking another
family at the New London (Conn.) Public Library, I found a reference titled
EELLS (line of Rev. Nathaniel of Stonington, Conn.) over which someone had
penciled: “This should be ELLIS.” Perhaps if you checked EELLS files you would
find the information on Susannah.

(A35) ELLIS/FALES - Going through the IGI at the local LDS Library for ELLIS
in Mass., I find the marriage of a Susannah ELLIS to Samuel FALES at Dedham.
Mass., Norfolk Co., 17 Jan. 1811. Also the birth and christening of a Susannah
ELLIS in Dedham with par. shown as ASA ELLIS/SUSANNAH. This may be of assistance
to you.

Bourne Families says that this generation (at least in the line of my ancestor
John Ayer) was Robert EYRE and his w. Cicely CROSSE, he a woolen manufacturer of
Bromham. Wiltshire who signed with his mark which resembled a long-toothed card

(A44) IRISH/SAVORY - Jedediah3 IRISH was a Quaker, acc. to the notes I have
on the IRISH family. In 1753 Jedediah & Mary IRISH were of Westerly; in
1754 of Stonington. For the maiden name of Mary, I suggest you look for Quaker
records ca. 1700.

the other to Francis Eaton.

(A52) ESTEBROOK/ESTABROOK -See article in Jan. 1985 Register, “Swansea
Baptist Church Records” for ten 17th c. listings of ESTABROOK in various
spellings, mostly of Thomas, also Sarah. I am told that Thomas came to New

(A61) MOTT - Adam MOTT b. 1620; d. 1690; was of Great Neck. He m. (1) Jane
HULET. Son Gershom. b. ca. 1653. Adam m. (2) Elizabeth and had a son Gershom.
This 2nd Gershom would seem to be much too late to be yours. Gershom MOTT, son
of Adam & Jane (b. 1653), m. a dau. of John & Lydia BOWNE. Other
sources give 1663 as his birthdate. John H. Jones in The Jones Family of Long
Island says his will was probated 30 March 1773. That on 2 Dec. 1703 he took
the oath of allegiance as Lt. of the Militia at Newtown, LI., and that he
settled in Monmouth Co., N.J. He says the N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol.
25, p. 49, has an account of Gershom’s descendants. N. Y.G. & B. Record,
Vol. 45 (April 1914), p. 117, has the story of Adam MOTT and an account of his
ancestors.

(A61) See The Hartford Times 15 Nov. 1951 and other articles. With
reference to the m. of Gershom (of RI., not Gershom. son of Adam of LI.), from
another source, I understand that he m. Rebecca LAWTON, dau. of Daniel LAWTON
and Rebecca MOTT. Rebecca MOTT was the dau. of Adam MOTT & Sarah Lott. I
have info about the MOTTS who desc. from “Auld” John MOTT. Adam MOTT of LI. is
mentioned as involved in litigation on p. 396-97 of Vol. II of Genealogies of
Rhode Island Families (G.P.C., 1983), this being a translation of the Dutch Mss.
at Albany. According to Torrey, Adam MOTT of N.Y. (1619-1686) was m. 3 times:
(1) 28 July 1647 Jane/Jenne HEWLET/HALLET/HULET; (2) ca. 1667 BOWNE; (3) 22 Nov.
1667? Elizabeth REDMAN?; ch. b. 1670. Torrey lists a considerable number of
other MOTT marriages, some of which are undoubtedly of this family.

(A80) ROGERS - Abigail ____, w. of Thomas ROGERS, d. at Moreau, N.Y., 20
Sept. 1816. George3 REYNOLDS, b. at Exeter, RI., 18 Sept. 1751; d. at Moreau,
N.Y., 10 Aug. 1824; m. Elizabeth? ROGERS?, d. at Moreau, 15 May 1828. No proof
that this Elizabeth ROGERS was the dau. of Joseph5 ROGERS in his will/the
division of his estate; no dau. of the name; so the dau. Elizabeth ROGERS of
Joseph & Margret ROGERS, b. 1746; d. y. I have found through research
relatives left RI. for N.Y. together.
