Bill’s Family: Ancestors of Eldora Beahm

 
These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further.   HOME

Ann was born 4 Sep 1746 in Saybrook (Middlesex) Connecticut, and died sometime after 1822. Elisha and Ann are fourth cousins, both being descended from John Bishop and Ann Stevens. They were married in the Saybrook (Westbrook) Congregational Church.

1952.1.3. Daniel Willard was born in 1745. A few sources have him married to a Sarah Silliman, but I believe that is a different Daniel Willard who was born 1760.

 


 

1952.2. Phebe Blatchley was born 10 Oct 1720 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 29 Jul 1801. She married 10 Apr 1751, her second cousin Thomas Hall [7810.5.7.1], son of Highland Hall and Rachel Bishop. Thomas was born 11 Feb 1726 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died on 23 Dec 1804 in Bennington (Bennington) Vermont.

He served in the Revolutionary War. The source said they were “Methodist Congregational” (?). I never heard of this, but suppose it is possible, as Methodism in the early days was a movement within the established church, not a religion in its own right.
Phebe and David had ten children, but we know only one (second cousin to us):

1952.2.2.1. Nathaniel Blakely was born 6 May 1798 in Pawlet (Rutland) Vermont, and died 12 Jun 1883 in Madison (Lake) Ohio. He married Polly Law. Polly was born 25 Mar 1801 in Wells (Rutland) Vermont, and died 30 Dec 1874 in Madison (Lake) Ohio. Source says Nathaniel was born Methodist Congregational, but later changed to Congregational.

1952.2.3. Thomas Hall was born 3 Apr 1760 in Roxbury (Litchfield) Connecticut, and died 13 Jun 1801. He married Elizabeth Fairchild.

1952.2.4. Nathaniel Hall was born 4 Mar 1763 in Roxbury (Litchfield) Connecticut, and died 4 Mar 1849. He married 12 Oct  1794 in Connecticut, Abigail Hubbard. Abigail was born 18 Oct 1766 in Connecticut, and died 24 Mar 1846. They were farmers, and were Baptist.
Nathaniel and Abigail had two sons and five daughters, but we only know one (second cousin to us):

1952.2.4.1. Hiland Hall was born 20 Jul 1795 in Bennington (Bennington) Vermont, and died 18 Dec 1885 in Springfield (Hampden) Massachusetts.

He was a Vermont State Representative in 1827, served in the United States Congress (Whig, Vermont) 1833-1843, was on the Vermont Supreme Court 1846-1850, and Governor of Vermont (Republican) 1858-1860. He is buried in Bennington, Vermont.
