On Elizabeth Hart, from: The Salem witch trials: a day-by-day chronicle of a community under siege By Marilynne K. Roach

2010-10-10T10:53:00.003-04:00

May 14, 1692 – Saturday
Salem Village
Young Ann Putnam had seen, but not been harmed by, the specter of Elizabeth Hart for some time. The real Goody Hart, wife of a Lynn farmer, visited the girl as Martha Corey and Willard had earlier, and sought to resolve the accusations with reason. Her results were equally unsuccessful, for her specter began to torment Ann. Today, Nathaniel Ingersoll and Thomas Putnam entered complaints against Elizabeth Hart and Thomas Farrar Sr. of Lynn; two suspects from Reading – Elizabeth Coleson and Bethia Certer Jr. (for a second time); and several from Salem Village – George Jacobs Jr. with his wife Rebecca, and her brother Daniel Andrews, plus Sarah Buckley and her daughter Mary Witheredge.

May 17, 1692 – Tuesday
Salem Village
Five suspects were in custody at Ingersoll’s when Marshal George Herrick arrived in Salem Village; Rebecca Jacobs, Sarah Buckley, Mary Witheredge, Elizabeth Hart, and Thomas Farrar Sr. As soon as Herrick locked them in the watchhouse, Constable John Putnam rode up with John Willard and the afflicted screamed in pain until Herrick pinioned Willard.

May 18, 1692 – Wednesday
Salem Village
With Rev. Samuel Parris and Ezekiel Cheever ready to take notes, John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin sat in Salem Village to hear the postponed cases. (Parris and Cheever had written the earlier transcriptions from their shorthand on full sheets of paper with generous margins. Today, by contrast, Parris’s final notes for Sarah Buckley crowded a card no longer than a man’s hand.)
Elizabeth Hart, wife of Lynn farmer Isaac Hart, was bold enough to have confronted Ann Putnam Jr. directly when the girl accused her of witchcraft, and outspoken enough that the Lynn Church had reprimanded her in 1655 for calling her fellow members fools and lackwits. She was examined and held for tormenting Mary Warren.

October 19, 1692 – Wednesday
Salem Town
Boston
Back in Boston, the General Court continued to receive petitions for the imprisoned. Not only was that good woman Elizabeth Hart in misery, wrote her son Thomas, but her husband was left “ancient and decrepit.”

Correspondence between two others researching this line states:

I'm here at the Salt Lake City Genealogical Library, and the following is for you:

Prudance Nee was born about 1637 in Virginia.

She married Robert Lassiter, b. abt. 1635, Nansemond, Virginia, (spelling is correct from a public record of the time that listed him as a child in England) in about 1655 in Virginia. Further information on him is available, but I wasn't sure that was what you were after.

They had one son, Thomas Lassiter, b. June/02/1670, Nansemond, Virginia; d. February/15/1745, Edgecombe, North Carolina.

There is only a notation that Prudance's father was called "Nee", which can be a full name for any American Indian of that period. Her mother is not listed but I am looking for her diligently, and because the Cherokee are a matriarchal society, I am hopeful that some record of her may be found somewhere. It is very hard to find records back this far in the Americas, but sometimes you get lucky!

Happy hunting for further information, and hopefully you'll share anything you find with me.

As a matter of interest for you:
Nansemond, VA was in the middle of the "Indian" territory of that time, and was considered "Indian" land. It is more than possible that Robert came from England, married Prudance, and was invited to remain on the land for as long as he chose. The Cherokee were considered "civilized" by the whites of the area, and he would not have had any reason to move away from his wife's home. It seems he might have died there, but his death and burial information is not listed and cannot be considered true until it has been verified. Prudance has no death or burial information listed at this time, either. I will continue looking.

Milly Turner and Family - Book Excerpt

2010-06-17T09:00:00.004-04:00

From "Unruly Women: The Politics of Social and Sexual Control in the Old South"
Book by Victoria E. Bynum; University of North Carolina Press, 1992

"Even more malicious were the charges of fornication against six legally and long-married couples in Montgomery County, whose marriages probably had not been considered interracial by most citizens of their community before the war. Six sons and daughters of John and Eleanor Hussey--Milly, Nelly, Sarah, Mary, Samuel, and Lindsay-although indistinguishable in appearance from whites, were descended through their father from Milly Turner, a free woman of one-eighth African ancestry. Turner had been accepted as white in her native South Carolina, where she married a white man, Samuel Hussey, and raised her son John as a white. John Hussey married Eleanor, a white woman, and they migrated to North Carolina, where they and their children were accepted as white until the Civil War. First initiated in the fall of 1861, the fornication charges were not dropped until late 1864. Further harassment of the family is indicated by the arrest of John Hussey in 1863 for illegal possession of firearms, a charge traditionally reserved in the antebellum South for free black males."

Stories & History of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Andrews:

http://www.trackingyourroots.com/data/parker.htm

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrews Hays Parker is buried at what is called the “Old Parker” or “Parker/Dupree Cemetery” in Lee County, Alabama. According to her tombstone she died at age 110. The date of her birth, according to her tombstone is 1751, but varies with census records which indicate as late as 1767. She died in 1862 in Lee County, Alabama.

The little family cemetery located near the community of Marvin, is
situated on a knoll and is fenced. An old small building adjoins the
cemetery and is approximately 10 x 10, and is reported to be an old one room schoolhouse used by area children. At the time of her death, she was apparently living with child, John Miles Parker, as he and his descendants appear to be the others buried in the cemetery. It is an interesting thought that she had lived in three countries in her lifetime: an English colony, The United States of America, and The Confederate States of America.

According to an article published in The Southern Star on July 19, 1899, by W. L. Andrews, Elizabeth’s family were Quaker’s who lived on the Roanoke River in Virginia in 1750-80 and in 1752 three orphan children were left in the community. They were Elizabeth, Folson or Thelston Andrews, and a baby sister. Lizzie was adopted by a family and given a good education. She had fair skin, blue eyes, brown hair, and weighed 108 pounds at 19 years of age. She learned to dance and at the function given at the Quaker mansion, she was considered the toast of the every. It is said she could run an old fashioned cotillion or reel, for the misty mazes of the round dance had not made its appearance then, with a glass of water on her head without upsetting it. Lizzie first married Elias Hays about 1770, by whom she had
a son, Elias Hayes, Jr, who was born Dec 24, 1783. During her life with
Hays, it is said that George and Martha Wasington stopped at her house and got a drink of water. She described Martha Washington as a kindly disposed lady, unaffected with fashion or the dignity of her position before the world.

Enmore mourns passing of Mr. Edward Coles

The funeral will take place this afternoon, at Enmore, of
one of the village's best known residents, Mr. Edward
Henry Coles. He died on Friday at the age of 78 years.

"Ted" Coles as he was popularly known, was the village
carpenter, postmaster, builder, wheelwright, and
undertaker, having acquired the business from his father
who was also sexton from 1882-1907.

One of the first to own a motor cycle in these parts, Mr.
Coles could remember taking his wife and three of his
children on a solo machine for an outing to Burnham!

Years ago he was a keen member of Enmore Cricket Club
and at one time there were no fewer than six members of
the family on the village team.

Funeral Tributes to Mr. E.H. Coles

Enmore has lost one of its most interesting and respected
figures by the death of Mr. Edward Henry Coles, which
occurred on Friday at the age of 78.

A member of an old-established local family, he succeded
his father in the family business of carpenter, postmaster,
builder, wheelwright and undertaker, and was in his
younger days well known in the district for his feats of
strength and skill. At one time he was a keen cricketer.
Mr. Coles was one of the first in the district to ride a
motor-cycle and one of his feats was to often ride back
from Bridgwater with a keg of paint balanced on his head.
He was quite an authority on the Quantocks, having lived
and worked on them all his life.

The Funeral:
Mourners were Frank, Winifred, Victor, Joseph, Edward,
Jack and Jean (sons and daughters); Mesdames J.J.V. and
E. Coles (daughters-in-law); Mr. J. Sandilann (son-in-law);
Mr. E.W. Hayes (nephew); and cousins from Weston Supermare.
Miss Florence Coles (daughter) and Mrs. J. Cridge (sister)
were unable to attend owing to indisposition.
Six friends - Messrs, H. Fry, C. Harris, L. Kinnersley, G.
Purness, F. Hucker and L. Parsons - were bearers

Will of George Thompson:

Page 128-THOMPSON, GEORGE. To wife Ann all estate for life to be equally divided among my children as follows; Confirms gifts to son Jos. Thompson, dau. Frances, wife of John Ferguson. Residue to be divided among sons John and George, daus. Mary Phillips, Peggy Evans, Sally Trammel, Anne Boman, Lucy Richardson, Betsy Crews, Nancy Formby, Frances Forgerson, Mourning Huddles'ton, and Susanna Formby. Brother-in-law John Ogletree and friend Nathan Formby, Excrs. Signed Jan. 16, 1806. Probated Mar. 2, 1807. Allen G. Arnold, Burwell Ferguson, Israel Moore, Test.

This will reasonably confirms that the Betsy Thompson who married our Jesse Crews is the daughter of George Thompson, and also gives a clue as to the maiden name of his wife, Ann. He lists his brother-in-law as John Ogletree, so one can reasonably ascertain that he is referring to the brother of his wife, which would make her maiden surname Ogletree as well.

AND, if this is correct, Ann Ogletree (George's wife) would have been the great-aunt of our 5x GGmother, Susan Ogletree (Ann was David Ogletree's sister). She was also James Crews' GGrandmother, so...
James Crews and Susan Ogletree would have been second cousins.

None of this is terribly unusual for that time, of course, as certain family groups tended to stick together for the most part, stay in the same areas, and intermarry frequently.

CHOCTAW ROOTS:
The following information was found on Rootsweb.Com

"I have a copy of a 1902 application to the Mississippi Choctaw tribe completed by Lola Hanson Coppedge where she is supposed to be 1/8th Indian. I also received copies of Elizabeth Hanson Howell's transcript. In Lola's transcript they asked about her Indian lineage and she claims it thru her father, Pinkney Hanson, thru his mother, Martha Dunn Hanson, and thru Martha's mother, Jane Harris. It is the first time I have seen the name Jane Harris! I have seen Nancy (?) listed before. The second child of John Dunn you have listed as Harris Dunn. That would fit in if the mom's last name was Harris. It seems like they were denied application in to the Dawes rolls as they could not prove that their ancestors were not granted land from the Dancing Rabbit Treaty of 1830." (Mary Wade, email: , 2003.)

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Recent findings show that the Hansons must have had Mississippi Choctaw blood. At least Pinkney and his sister Elizabeth, and several others of their descendants tried to claim tribal enrollment in the final rolls, but for some unknown reason were rejected. This doesn't mean they weren't of Indian blood, just could not prove the kinship by government specs. One of the requirements for enrollment was that they had to be living in the Indian territory of their tribe. The application shows the full blood Mississippi Choctaw being their grandmother, mother of their mother, Martha "Patsey" Dunn Hanson, the one called "Whistling Bee." The application gives the grandmother's name as Jane Harris. The 1850 census shows John Dunn's wife to be named Nancy, so she could have been named Nancy Jane Harris.

+ Mattie Lee Strickland

Family stories, told by son Willie:

They were cotton mill workers and when you worked in a cotton mill you always lived in a house in the cotton mill village. All of the family that was of age to work would get a job. Willie indicated that his sister, Bell (Lizzie Bell), was so hot-headed and had such temper that every time they would all settle in with their jobs she would get mad, get into a fight, and get fired. When one member of the family was fired, the whole family was fired and they would have to move out of the village house and to the next cotton mill. Willie stated that "if he had all the furniture they had to give away or leave behind, he could start a furniture store". The family lived all over Georgia, and at one time in Clinton, Louisiana where Mattie Lee (their last child, who died at age 2) is buried. The family finally settled in Columbus, Ga where they went to work at the Meritas Mill when Willie was a young boy.

William Henry Strickland died February 3, 1925 in Columbus, Ga. He had a mole on his face that he kept shaving off until it spread all over his face. He was diagnosed with Cancer, which is what killed him. He is buried in a plot at Riverdale Cemetery, his grave is marked with a marker bearing his name.

James Verdis Strickland lived to an old age, and when she became physically and mentally feeble, her son Willie and his family tried to care for her. Will and Elizabeth worked, though, and their small children went to school, so there was nobody to look after her during the day. After she fell one day when she was home alone, Will decided that it was time his sister Georgia helped care for their mother, as she had a daughter at home all day. Georgia and her family didn't want to care for Verdis, though, and there was trouble caused when she died. Willie called it "spite work" because Verdis had been pushed on Georgia to care for.

Verdis died April 2, 1937 at Georgia's home. She was buried in Stranger's Ground at Riverdale Cemetery because there was no insurance to pay for the burial.

Elizabeth's brother, Vernon Waters, offered to pay for her burial but Georgia was so spiteful that she refused. Vernon said all he could do was offer his help, but he couldn't make her accept it. None of Will's family went to the funeral except Katherine (Will's daughter) and her husband Oscar. She said she would fight Georgia every step, that she was going.

Not much is known other than what his Grandson Willie could tell.

His name may also have been William Henry Strickland and he had several children but only three are known. William Henry, Rachel, and another son who left Georgia in a covered wagon headed for Texas. They could not read or write, and so were never heard from again.

There is a John Quick with a wife named Rachel listed in the 1870 Polk County - Van Wert District Census. It is assumed that this Rachel is Henry's daughter.
