He is listed as William W. (sic) Annable, died in Jamestown, age 56, married. He is said to have died of "Exzemia". All particulars are correct except middle initial. To ascertain that this was william H. Annable, a copy of the Probate Record of the estate was obtained. The record left no doubt that this was the father of Estella Annable Sprague, for she is named in the record. The contents of the Probate Record state that William H. Annable died on the 11th day of September, 1885.

William married Hughson Mary H. about 1847 in Saratoga County, Ny. Mary was born on 15 Jun 1828 in Saratoga County, NY; died on 05 May 1865 in Dean's Corners, Saratoga, Saratoga County, NY; was buried in Joseph Roger's Cemetery, Saratoga County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joseph Rogers Cemetery was visited by Louis V. Head, ancester of William H. and Mary Annable, in July, 1994. He found the cemetery heavily overgrown with trees and heavy brush and vines. Penetrating the overgrowth from the north west corner, just inside the fence line, a tombstone lying on a fallen fence post read "William W. Annable Dec. 20, 1857". The cemetery lies on a hill directly across the road from a nice brick bungalow which is also placed on a hill. The overgrowth and the mosquitoes discouraged and further exploration! (Words by Louis V. Head)

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.
