Annable Abigail

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]

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

James married HAMMOND Deborah P. in 1736 in Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. Deborah (daughter of HAMMOND Josiah and BARLOW Mary) was born in 1720 in Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Deborah was probably a descendant of William Hammond of London, County of Kent, England and Elizabeth Penn. sister of Admiral Sir William Penn and aunt to William Penn, the Quaker.

William of London and Elizabeth had a son, Benjamin,b. 1621, d. 1703, and three daughters; Elizabeth, Martha and Rachel all born in England. After William died, she broght her family to Boston on Sept 18, 1634, having sailed on the Griffin, having with them the Rev. Lothrop, theri minister.

She lived in Boston and in Watertown, MA until the year 1638, when she joined Rev. Lothrop's church in Scituate, Aprl 16, 1638. being the 33rd member of his church. She probably returned to Boston near the close of the year 1639, as she died and was buried there in 1640.

Son, Benjamin married Mary Vincent and first settled in Sandwich, Barnstable County, MA. Benjamin and his wife moved to Rochester in 1684.

Benjamin and his wife, Mary had six children: Samuel, John, Nathan, Benjamin, Jr., Rose and Mary.

Deborah, b. 1720 in Rochester, was probably the daughter of one of Benjamin's sons and was a resident of Rochester, Plymouth County, MA at the time of her marriage to James Peckham.

Notes:

John married Taylor Experience on 16 Jun 1692 in Barnstable, Barnstable County, MA. Experience was born in Jun 1672. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John was 60 years old when he died at Duck Creek, Kent County, Delaware. He settled at Truro on property given to his father by grandfather Nicholas Snow. John bought land at Lebanon, CT in 1710-11 and was founder of the Truro Church (Truro, Barnstable County, MA) 1 November 1711. Elizabeth Snow, wife of John, was admitted to the church 30 August 1713. He served as deacon from 1717/18 to 1726/27 and as Truro's town clerk. On 20, November 1721, Deacon John Snow, wife, Elizabeth and son, Joshua witnessed the will of Joseph Young of Truro; she swore as to attestation on 30 January 1722/23 and Deacon John swore 4 July 1723. On 11 January 1726/7 he was chosen ruling elder of the Truro Church. On 31 March 1728, he was "discarded for suspected adultery and other misdemeanors." Probably as result of his troubles, he moved ca 1728 to Duck Creek (now Smyrna), Kent Co. DE where his brothers, Elisha and Isaac had settled in 1711. John was there by 7 May 1729 when brother Isaac sold him 246 acres on the north side of the southwest branch of Duck Creek. John conveyed this tract to brother Elisha 11 Nov. 1734, with brother Isaac serving as witness and no spouse participating.

The will of John Snow of Kent Co. Delaware, dated 9 oct 1738 and proved 14 Oct. 1738, mentioned wife, Hannah and son David; brother, Isaac was named executor, and witnesses were Elisha Snow, Abraham Cockrill and Thomas Harrod.

The first wife, Elizabeth apparently remained on Cape Cod. She may be the Elizabeth Snow whose cattle mark was recorded at Truro 29 April 1736. No record of divorce or probate has been found for her. John's children by his first wife appear to have remained on Cape cod and were not mentioned in his Delaware will. They are identified in a family record prepared by his grandson, Dr. Samuel Nye (1749-1834) as follows:

"Children of my maternal grandfather; Joshua Snow, Isaac, Anthony, Amasa, Ambrose, John, Elizha, Mrs. Annable (Elizabeth Snow), Mrs. Young and Mary Nye."

Died:
Bet 9 and 14th Oct 1738

John married Ridley Elizabeth about 25 Feb 1700 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Ma. Elizabeth (daughter of Ridley Mark) was born on 13 May 1678 in Truro, Barnstable County, MA; died on 29 Apr 1736 in Cape Cod, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She lived to be 57 years old.

Notes:

Married:
25 Feb 1700/1701

Notes:

Stephen lived in Dartmouth (now New Bedford), MA and was a farmer. He was a Friend (Quaker), and his second marriage was in Friend's Meeting Records. Of his children, Elizabeth, Eunice and Richard are mentioned as minors in their father's will, dated March 19, 1757. The estate was divided between James, Stephen and Richard. He died in June, 1764.

There are two different dates for his birth; Oct. 23, 1683 and Feb. 23, 1683. The dates for his death also vary; June 1764 and July 3, 1764.

Stephen married Sisson Content about 1715. Content (daughter of Sisson James and Hathaway Lydia) was born about 1694; died before 1734. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Josiah Hammond lived first on the southeast part of his father's farm, the house standing quite near the waters of Buzzard's Bay. He afterwards sold this farm near the salt water, to his son Josiah, and received land to the north of his father's place, where he built a second house. Although the house has disappeared, the place is still pointed out as the "Siah" place.

Josiah married BARLOW Mary. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
