Some Descendants of Isaac Kilbourn and Joanna Ordway

Rita’s Family: Ancestors of Helen Spencer
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

Isaac Kilbourn and Joanna Ordway

352. Isaac Kilbourn {a,b,c} was born in 1717 in Massachusetts, and died about 1763 near Crown Point (Essex) New York. He is a son of John Kilbourn [704] and Rebecca ___ [705]. Isaac married about 1752,

353. Hannah Ordway {a,b,c}. Hannah, also seen as Joanna Ordway or Joanna Clark, was born probably about 1720.

Hannah had previously married Aaron Clark, who died about 1750. Isaac served in the French and Indian War, and died at Fort Crown Point. There were no battles in that area at the time, so he probably died of illness. One of their sons was also said to have served in the war, but I don’t believe that -- the oldest any of them could be would be 11.

352.1. John Kilbourn [176] (1753 MA - 1840 MA) and Mary Burpee are direct ancestors, separate page.

352.6. William Kilbourn {c} was born 8 Sep 1762 in Sterling (Worcester) Massachusetts, and died 28 Nov 1841 in Burlington (Chittenden) Vermont. He married first, Mary Bartholomew. William married second, Ann Woodruff.

352.2. Calvin Kilbourn {b,c} was born Oct 1757 (some have 1 Nov, that may be the baptism date) possibly in Lancaster (Worcester) Massachusetts, and died 23 Jan 1852 (from {b} - but {c} says he was still living in Princeton, Massachusetts at age 99 in 1856). Calvin married first, 9 Oct 1783, Mary Stratton. Mary was born about 1758 in Rutland (Worcester) Massachusetts, and died 15 Sep 1847 at age 89. Calvin married second, about 1848 (intent 28 Oct 1848), Susan Warren, daughter of John Warren and widow of ___ Sanderson. Susan was born about 1778 and died 22 Jan 1861. Calvin served in the Revolutionary War. Calvin and first wife Mary moved at some point to Princeton (Worcester) Massachusetts, and at least some of their children were probably born there.
Calvin and Mary had six children (first cousins to us):
