Annable Charles M.

Notes:

Charles is shown living with his brother, William Henry in the 1855 Saratoga Census. Also living with him is his father.

Notes:

As of August 10, 1994, the first that Sarah E. is found as the wife of William Annable is the record of the deed of some property transmitted to William Henry Annable. The record of the deed is located in the Saratoga County Clerk's Office at Ballston Spa, New York, in Deed Book # 58, page 168, dated March 11, 1850. Wm. H. was 21 years old and his brother, Charles M., was 19 (see note from Census of 1850).

On March 25, 1852, Willaim and wife, Sarah, sold land in Saratoga, Sartoga County, NY to Ezra Munger of Stillwater. It was 34 1/4 plus 73 acres for $3500. or 200 pounds. The property was located in Stillwater, NY SCDB62; p. 476.

The U. S. Census of 1850 of Saratoga, Saratoga County, New York lists Sarah living with William Annable. The 1855 Census, State of NY, lists the family of William Annable, but Sarah is not included. Since she had not died, and she is still absent at the 1860 Census, it may be that she had divorced Wiliam. Since her Will did not name either William H. Annable or his brother, Charles as heirs or nex of kin, it may be supposed that she was not their mother, but rather, probably, a step-mother. Isaac C. I. Barber may have been a son born of a previous marriage. Also in th 1850 census, it says that William is insane. Perhaps this is the reason Sarah left him.

In the 1855 New York Census, William is reported to have been born in Saratoga Co. and was 53 at the time of census.

There were several families of Anable/Annable (etc.) in the townships of Saratoga and Stillwater, Saratoga County, NY at the turn of the nineteenth century. It would appear that they were all related, but how is difficult to ascertain. Two masculine names predominate; Ephraim and Willaim.

Ephraim # 1 was born 3 March 1765 in Nova Scotia, entered the Service as as
revolutionary soldier in 1781 and relocated to Stillwater, Saratoga County, NY in or shortly after 1789; in September 1832, he applied for a pension.

Ephraim # 2 was born in 1782 and died June 1842 at the age of 59. His wife was Charlotte, born July 1788 and died January 1868 at 79 years, eight months. Some of their children were Elizabeth, b. January 1822, d. July 22, 1839, age 17 yr. 7 mos. Horace, b. February 1818, died August 14, 1838, age 20 yr. 7 mos. (Information from Card File, Saratoga County Historian's Office, Ballston Spa, NY)

Other descendants, listed in a deed recorded in Saratoga Co. Deed Book # 63, page 233 and dated June 15, 1850, when the heirs of Ephraim Annable disposed of some inherited property, are; Abner H. Annable and Sally Annable, his wife; Levi Annable and Loretta Annable, his wife; and James Inman and Lucy Ann Inman, his wife.

Ephraim # 3 had a wife named Mary A. who was born about 1849 and died July 21, 1887, and was buried in Joseph Roger's Cemetery, Saratoga, NY. This Ephraim is probably the son of the William Henry. Annable, who died in Ottowa County, Michigan in 1885; William H's probate file lists his son, Ephraim aged about 36 living in Saratoga County, NY in 1886.

In March 1865, William h. and Mary H. sold some property; Deed recorded in Deed Book 106, page 87. Mary H. died on May 5, 1865. (Sarah Hughes, Mary's mother had died in 1861.)

Williaim H. Annable moved his family to Ionia co., Michigan, where he had already purchased property (transaction recorded at Ionia Co., MI Land Office in Libr #49, p. 463 and Libr 56, p. 77.)

Ephraim # 4 as Ephraim "Anebal" is listed in Heads of Families 1790 Census District of Saratoga County, NY..
His household consisted of ; 1 male 16 yrs.and older, (including head of house) 1 male under 16yr. 5 females (including wife)

Ephraim # 3 was the firstborn son of William Henry Annable and his wife, Mary H. Hughson. He was born in 1848/49 at Dean's Corners, Saratoga, Saratoga Co.NY.

The records of the Greenfield Congregational Church contain the record of the marriage of " Annaball, Leonard, married at Stillwater on January 4, 1795 to Miss Rebecca Jacobs".

William # 1, was a contemporary of an Ephraim who ws a witness to a land transaction recorded in Saratoga County., Deed Book V, p. 80, dated September 23, 1831. he married Sarah E. Barber, (nee Esmond) widow of isaac Barber who died in 1827, and was the father of William Henry and Charles M. Annable. (Sarah E. Annable left her estate to Isaac C. I. Barber, her nearest of kin (Saratoga Co. Court Archives, Book 22, p. 169.)

William # 2 was William W. Annable, who, according to the 1850 Census of Stillwater, NY was 23 years old in 1850, placing his birth in 1826/27. He was the husband of Deborah___, who was born 1828 and died Sept. 26, 1847; and then Mary E. ____, born, 1829 and died May 5, 1865.

William W. and Mary E. Annable buried an infant son and a young daughter, Orlina, in the Joseph Rogers Cemetery. It is unknown if any children of this marriage survived to adulthood.

William # 3 was William Henry Annable, born around 1828. He married Mary H. Hughson and was the father of Ephraim and Estella Annable.

James Annable wa also a contemporary of Ephraim #1 and William #1 and is named as a witness to a land transaction by Ephraim Annable dated Sept. 29, 1827 and recorded in Saratoga county. Deed Book O, p. 307.
It is possible that James, Ephraim and William were brothers.

There is a possiblility that William moved to Steuben county, NY and died there.

Birth:
1802/1803

William married Esmond Sarah M. about 1828. Sarah was born on 24 Jun 1798 in Saratoga, Saratoga County, NY; died on 20 Oct 1869 in Stillwater, Saratoga Co., NY; was buried in Viele Lodewecus Cemetery, Saratoga Co., NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is probable that Sarah E. Esmond was married prior to her marriage to William. The U. S. Census of 1850 of Saratoga, Saratoga County, New York lists Sarah living with William Annable. The 1855 Census, State of NY, lists the family of William Annable, but Sarah is not included. Since she had not died, and she is still absent at the 1860 Census, it may be that she had divorced William. Since her Will did not name either William H. Annable or his brother, Charles as heirs or nex of kin, it may be supposed that she was not their mother, but rather, probably, a step-mother. Isaac C. I. Barber may have been a son born of a previous marriage. Sarah was a Quaker as were all the Esmonds at that time.

Notes:

Married:
They were divorced sometime between 1850 and 1860 according to the census reports.

Notes:

Date and place of Ephraim's birth is found in his application for pension which he filed in 1832.
He is the father of William and James and others. William's son, William H., named his first son, Ephraim, after his father, which was common.

Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, Passed June 7, 1832

State of New York, County of Saratoga.

Ephraim married Delanee Lydia D. about 1789 in New Bedford, Bristol Co., MA. Lydia was born on 06 Jul 1772. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Isaac, a tailor, from Dartmouth, Bristol, County, MA was among the first to settle the town of Barrington, Nova Scotia about 1761. He was joined by Nathan Snow, a cousin. (VR/Barrington, NS) He had lot No. 49 in the town of Barrington, next to John Coffin who later became his father-in-law. This however, may have been his brother, Ephraim, who married Margaret Coffin.

Isaac was first married to Eunice Swain of Nantucket, Nantucket Co. MA. Their daughter Abigail, was born in Nantucket and a son, Ephraim, was been born in Barrington, Nova Scotia on 3 March 1765. After the death of Eunice, he married Margaret Coffin, daughter of John Coffin who was also originally from Nantucket. I am not convinced it wasn't Isaac's brother, Ephraim who married Margaret Coffin instead of Isaac.

Margaret died sometime before 1772. It is unknown if they had children together.

According to The History of Barrington Township, by Edwin Crowell, page 432/433, Isaac sold in 1785 to Richard Pinkham for 25 pounds his lot and dwelling house. His 2nd Division lot, No. 97 was laid out to him in 1784 but drawn by Richard Pinkham. As his name was not in the 1770 census, it is likely he had moved to Halifax by then. He is listed as having charged rum in Doane's Mog-book. His name also survives in Annable's Shoal, west of Blackberry Island.

Isaac is listed as living in Halifax when his marriage intention to widow, Lydia (Peckham) Delano was announced according to the vital records of Dartmouth, MA.(6 July 1772)

The below are records from Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, 17 Vols. Vol. 1, p, 274:

Annabell, Isaac, Dartmouth, was a Sergeant , Capt. Luen Pope's Co., which marched April 21, 1775, in response to the alarm of April 19, 1775, to Roxbury; service; 5 days.

Annable, Isaac, Dartmouth, corporal, Capt. Daniel Egery's Co., Col. Timothy Danielson's reg't.; muster roll dated Aug. 1., 1775; enlisted May 4, 1775; service, 3 mos., 4 days; also, company return dated Roxbury, Oct. 6, 1775;also order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money, dated Camp at Roxbury, Nov. 6, 1775.

Vol. 1,p. 272
Annable, Isaac, Private, Capt. Henry Jenne's co., enlisted March 14, 1781, discharged March 18, 1781, service four days, on an alarm at Rhode Island.

Vol. 1, p. 274
Isaac Annibal was a Private in Capt. Benjamin Alton's Co. Col. John Rand's Regt.; enlisted July 9, 1780; discharged Oct. 10, 1780; service , 3 mos. 11 days, at West Point; enlistmant, 3 months; also order for wages dated Oxford, April 2, 1782; money payable to Col. Jacob Davis.

Bristol County, MA land records (62-164) show that Isaac purchased land in Dartmouth 6 Jan 1781 and sold the same land 10 Apr 1793 and the transaction was recorded 12 Sept 1793 (72-171) when he moved to Saratoga, NY. Lydia signed the deed under Isaac's signature, which would indicate that she removed with him to New York. This land was in Dartmouth, which would later become part of New Bedford. Other property was sold in December of 1780. They were still there when the 1800 census was taken but by 1803, they were in Saratoga, NY. There is some confusion as to whether this is the correct Isaac, still living in New Bedford in 1800 as you will read below.

In the 1790 Federal Census for New Bedford, Bristol County, MA, it lists Isaac as head of the household with 2 males over 16, 2 males under 16 and 4 females. Probably Isaac,Sr. and Isaac, Jr. are over 16, John and Prince, under 16 and three daughters and his wife would be the females. Cornelius was probably born after the census was taken in 1790. Ephraim would have been gone from home at the age of 25 when the census was taken.

Isaac is listed in the Stillwater, Albany County, NY census for the year of 1799. He lived next door to Samuel Leggitt and Gabriel Leggett, then Ephraim Annable. Next door to Ephraim was Thomas Leggitt.

I saac had $26. in real extate and he was taxed $2.00. fro that year. Ephraim, perhaps his son, had $832. in real property and $135. in personal property. He was taxed $96. for the year.

Daughter, Eunice married Samuel Right Brown on February 13, 1803 in Saratoga.

A family history, "Home Folks Book of the Darius Myer's Family" by Violet M. Beck, 1968, a descendant of Prince Annable,states that Isaac, Sr. died at the age of 95 years.

In 1800, the New York census shows two Isaac Annables. One of them lived in Stillwater, Saratoga County, while the other lived in Cambridge, Washington County. The one in Saratoga could be this Isaac and his son in Washington County. Daughter, Eunice was married in Saratoga so this is more than likely correct.

Multiple births in this family first appear with the Snow/Smalley line of ancestors and have followed through for many generations.

Ephriam Annable, who lived in Saratoga, NY during the early 1800's and whose Rev. War records state that he was born in Nova Scotia in 1765 is probably the same as above. There are no vital records in Barrington, Nova Scotia for any Annables. According to the 1790 census in New Bedford, Massachusetts, no other previous children are listed that would fit the age group. Ephraim would have been seven years old at the time Isaac married Lydia. It is, however, according to family tradition, that an Ephraim was born to Isaac and was a half brother to Isaac's children by Lydia.

Audrey Annable Franklin says that Isaac died on 5 June, 1798 but location is unknown.

1: Isaac Annable, born 1738 in Mass. went to Nova Scotia in about 1759-60 with his cousins: Capt. Jabez and Joshua Snow. They remained in Nova Scotia and Isaac returned to NY state sometime after 1765 when Ephraim was born in Nova Scotia to him and his wife, Eunice Swain. He is my GGGGgrandfather through another wife.
2. Information sent me from Archives of Nova Scotia in Halifax through Queens Cty Museum in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. ANNIBLE, CORNELIUS, Capt. Perkins, Jan 11, 1767; "I hear that the schr. Liverpool Packet goes to the West Indies, Cornelius Annible." Perkins, Aug. 15, 1767: At evening arrives the Schr. Success. Capt. Martin, from Turks Island, Cornelius Annable is his mae. They were at St. Croix. Perkins, Aug, 26, 1783: Capt. Annible sails for Connecticut. I write to Doc. Moseley & Capt. Perkins. Perkins, Aug, 27, 1783: Capt. Annible comes in again, Joshua Boomer is passenger with him & Thomas Burnsby. Perkins, Aug. 28, 1783: Capt. Annible sails again.
3: From same source as #2: ANNABLE, WILLIAM, francis Tupper says that Robert Plaiceway, Acue Trip, Wm. Annable, Jonathan Wood, Peleg Coffin and one Isaac Coffee, a negro, very early in settlement of Lpool established a fishery on
Coffin Island, with Peleg Coff as shoreman, and, apparently, the only one with house on Island. Long, Page 63: One of the deeds is from Robert Plaiceway, Acue Tripp, William ANnable, Isaac Cuffey (Coffee?), and Jonathan Wood, conveying to Daniel Torrey "a certain island at the entrance of the harbor know as Bear Island". This is now Coffin's Island.

Isaac married Peckham Lydia. Lydia (daughter of Peckham James and HAMMOND Deborah P.) was born in 1749 in Dartmouth, Bristol County, MA; died after 1803 in NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Notice was from BCM...church of Dartmouth?
In the 1840 census for Nichols, Tioga County,NY a Lydia Annable is listed.
