[Excerpts submitted by Michael J. on 12.Feb.2002.] Old Union (at founding, Union) was constituted in 1795 or 1796. He mentions the three Baptist ministers—Hightower, Logan, and Devin—as “having been in the area” and having been responsible for forming most of the churches (Baptist) in the area. Hightower was the first pastor of Old Union. The date, 1795 or ‘96, is, perhaps, a bit early for Joseph Logan, but we’re not really sure of his travels “directly” to Warren County. (Allen County was formed from Warren in 1815, so most of the records are there. Old Union is in Warren County.)

[From "Beck and Tittle Footprints" by Nell Truitt prepared 01.October.1998]:
George Beck, Sr. brought his family from North Carolina in 1807, staying a short time in Bear Grass, which is now Louisville, Kentucky. George and his two older sons, John, age 23 and George, Jr. age 16, while out scouting in December 1807, located organ Spring along Mill creek and built a grist-mill ther. The spring was dammed and provided a gallon of water per minute at 60 degree temperature. The first grist mill was a log structure fifteen feet square.
Within a short time, Beck's Hill, as the settlement was known, became a social center as families from a thirty mile radius brought their corn to Beck's Mill to be ground into cornmeal. Sometimes it took two or three days as they waited their turns, so games were played outdoors with the young Beck boys. In the summer of 1825, a frame building, twenty by thirty feet square replaced the first mill structure. Two years later, a lean-to was bult and a carding machine was put in operation. A commodious, two-story frame structure for the mill was built in 1864, and the carding machinery was placed in the second story. The structure still stands in 1998. | Beck, Major John George Sr. (I2546)

[From "Genealogy of Judson Family in Oregon", Lewis E. Judson 1961]
Nathaniel Judson a revolutionary soldier, with Washington on Long Island, Schuyler in Northern New York, a Yoman at the capture of St. Jons, Adjutant of the Fourth Regiment of Connecticut Troops from May 1777 to November 1779 and in other positions to the end of the war.
[comment by David Devin, 10.May.2010: There is no evidence that this Nathaniel Judson served in the ARW. The Nathaniel Judson who served, died after 1832 in Albany, New York. His pension records show a different wife and children for the man who did the above service. (see the Pension records for Nathaniel Judson from the National Archives).]

[From Beck & Tittle Footprints; 19981001]
John (J.J.) Beck was the only son born to his parents (as his father stated in a biographical sketch in 1898 in Wook county, Ohio). When J.J. was 16, his father and step-mother, Sarah Francis Survance Beck, place their belongings in the ox-drawn wagon and moved to Van Zandt County, Texas, where many of the Deck family members had relocated in previous years from the Howard Township, Washington County, Indiana area. John's grandfather, along with most of his children, had moved to the College Mound, Kaufman County, Texas area in 1854 and were early settlers.
As a young adult, John J. Beck became the guardian of Annie Elizabeth Faulkner, her younger sister, and her brother James W. Faulkner as recorded in court documents. He then married Annie Elizabeth when she was 17 years old and he was 24.
J.J. was a successful landowner and farmer, a supporter of education, and a respected citizen of the community. His obituary printed in the Wills Point Chronicle read, in part: "J. J. Beck passed away at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, March 25, 1950 at Baker clinic. He was kind and attentive to his family. A beacon light for each child was his wise counsel from day to day. He loved and cherished the friendship of others. Mr. Beck had professed faith in the Lord in 1928. Many beautiful flowers attested to this esteem in which he was held. Funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock at the Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. James Riley, assisted by Rev. Monzon Fletcher, pastor of the Methodist Church, and Rev. Bob Beck, a grandson of Wichita Falls, Texas. Survivors include seven children, Henry and Curtis Beck and Mrs. Leona Ellis of Wills Point, Cordell Beck of Greenville, Mrs. Grace Plyler of Corpus Christi and Mr.s Ruby Wallis of Dallas."
John Jefferson Beck was lovingly called "Grandpa Beck" by his grandchildren.

An entry in the Mass Transcript for May 23, 1923 states that Dorothy Robinson married by Governor Withrop, in Salem, on arrival from England to Edmond Fawlkner, Feb 1, 1647. first American citizen to be married. Will of EF speaks of stepson Joseph Robinson. He came with his mother, a child of about 4 years. Dorothy Robinson had to have come from Kings Linne, Norfolk, where there were Fawlkners. Will of Thomas Slayne of Kings Linne, Norfolk, gives, "To my youngest son, Samuel Slayne.... the pice of pasture ground in Torrington bought of Dorothy Robinson lately." Corresponding so closely to Dorothy's coming to America, this is interesting. According to the book, Pioneer of Mass. by Charles Henry Pope, Gen. Pub. County, 1981, | Family F2165

He came to America when he was already advanced in years, with his grown
family, among whom were Richard Jr., and Thomas, and perhaps other sons.
No mention is made of his wife or her death, it is probable that she did
in England before the family sailed for New England. He took the oath of
allegiance in New Haven, 5 Aug 1644. Early in the Spring of that year he
was one of the company of proprietors who took possession of their
purchase of "Totoket", now called Branford, in the colony of New Haven.
He signed the divisions of land at Branford, 1 Jul 1646, which is probably
the first extant of Branford, and is called "Old Harrison" on the Branford
records. He remained in Branford until his death. (From Genealogies of
Early CT Families, p2008.) | Harrison, Richard (I6245)

He was a carpenter and the son of Widow Ann Lume. He was a representative in the General Court and prominent in the affairs of Rowley. His will, dated 6 Sep 1683, mentions, to wife (unnamed), "I give my now dwelling-house & buildings orchard & Lands I live upon situate & Lying in the bounds of Rowley & Ipswich; also the Village Farm which Mathew Perry liveth upon with the privileges thereof all during the time of her naturall life: also my moveable estate to be at her dispose: always providing that my Dear wife be my sole executrix & that she receive all such Debts as are Due to me from any psons whatsoever." To son John Picard, what has already been given him and the farm at Johnson's Pond, also the reversion of what has been given wife. To son Samuel Pickard, all the land between Samuel Dresser's land and land of John Wicom, also the land on the other side of the street, of about four acres, also one-half of that land "I purchased of my son Thomas Hammond," also, after wife's decease, the farm now in occupation of Mathew Perry. Daughter Rebecca has had L100, now to have L5; Solomon Phips, L5; daughter Mary has had L100, now to have L5; daughters Sarah and Ann the same; daughters Jane and Hannah each L100 when 21 years old or married. (Essex Ct. Files, 40:69). The inventory of his estate, amounting to L1279-02s-04d was taken 23 Nov 1683. His homestead in Rowley, from 1660, was in the "Morland" or "Murlay" field; the house in which he died was on the site occupied by the house of the late Daniel Harris Hale on Main St. in 1932. It may have been part of that house. The home farm extended E and S into Ipswich to include a large portion of Jewett's Hill.[maryabwhiteanc.ged]

He was one of the early settlers of Groton. He was voted to "keepe cleane the meeting house this year" for fourteen shillings (about $3.50 in 1975) at the first town meeting of which there is any record (23 Jun 1662). He was also elected as a Selectman for the town in 1663, 1667, 1669, and 1670. He also had a garrison house (one of four where the townspeople went when threatened by the Indians as Groton was on the edge of the frontier. It could hold several families and a garrison of soldiers if needed. There was also a stockade to protect and keep the animals.) This was on the west side of what is now Hollis Street and north of James Creek. At the time of the burning of Groton in March 1676, this locality was the center of the Indian attack upon the town. Most of the men from Nutting's garrison and some from Parker's, which was nearby across James Creek, went forth to surprise the Indians, but when they reached the top of a nearby hill, they were ambushed. John was killed as the men tried to make retreat, and three others were wounded. They retreated to Parker's garrison and Sarah and their children, along with the others from Nutting's garrison, joined them escaping before it was taken by the Indians.. Sarah and her children moved to a neighboring town and didn't return until Groton was rebuilt several years later.[maryabwhiteanc.ged]

It is apparent that Dorothy was a widow when she married Edmund, as there was a Joseph Robinson named in Edmund's will, who was clearly not a son-in-law, as all of Edmunds sons and daughters were named also. Joseph Robinson died at Andover in 1719 at the age of about 74, so he was born about 1645, two years before Dorothy married Edmund. They were married in Salem, MA so she may have been from there. One source on Ancestry.com says that her surname was RAYMOND. | Robinson, Dorothy (I6199)
