Notes:

William was in Liverpool, Nova Scotia for a time,living on Coffin Island. He joined his brothers, Isaac and Ephraim there. He came back to fight in the Rev. War for the state of Massachusetts as did his brother, Isaac. An Annable Island is name after the Annble brothers who lived there in Nova Scotia.

William married Pike Tabitha on 03 Jul 1760 in Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. Tabitha (daughter of Pike Leonard and Snow Anne) was born on 29 Jan 1737 in Truro, Barnstable County, MA. [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.

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

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.

Family/Spouse: Swain Eunice. Eunice (daughter of Swain Elijah and Cathcart Susanna) was born on 30 Jun 1738 in Nantucket, Nantucket County, MA; died before 1772 in Prob. Barrington, Nova Scotia, CAN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: 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:

Ephraim is listed in Saratoga in the 1790 Federal Census as having two males over sixteen, two males under sixteen years and three females.

Ephraim married Coffin Margaret about 1773 in Barrington, Nova Scotia, Canada. Margaret was born on 23 Jun 1756 in Nantucket, Nantucket County, MA; died after 1820 in Tioga, Tioga County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth married Hammond David on 05 Dec 1764 in Rochester, Plymouth County, Ma. David was born on 26 Oct 1738; died on 20 Apr 1821 in Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Is this the Samuel Annable (Annibal) who was living in Ontario county as listed in the 1800 Federal Census report? I think it is. He probably followed his brother, Isaac, to NY in the late 1790s. Page 370, pg0310.txt. He is also listed in the History of Saratoga County, NY as a Captain in the War of 1812.

Samuel married Smith ThankfullDartmouth, Bristol County, MA. Thankfull was born in of Dartmouth, Bristol County, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The baptismal records were found in C R 2 (church records of Rochester, Plymouth County, MA. Probably Congregational Church of Rochester.

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:

In the 1800 Census, Isaac was living in Cambridge, Washington County, NY.
In the 1820 census, Isaac is living in Cato, Cayuga county, NY next door to his brother, Prince Annable.
In the 1830 Federal Census for Granby, Oswego County, NY, Isaac is listed as a resident, page 172, NY ID# NY55841820.

Who is the Isaac Annable/ Anible who is listed in New Bedford, Bristol County, MA in the 1800 census and is 16-25 years of age if not this Isaac?

Isaac married Beecher Polly in 1794. Polly was born about 1774. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is a possibility that this Cornelius, son of Isaac and Lydia, is the one who lived in Howard, Steuben County, NY instead of Cornelius, son of Cornelius, born in CT. Because the Cornelius in Howard had children by the names of Caleb and Lydia,(uncle and mother's names) leads me to believe this is this correct person who lived in Howard, NY. Need to be checked further.

He was taken prisoner in the War of 1812. (Home Folks Book of Darius Myer's Family)

In the 1830 census, Cornelius was living in Cameron, Steuben county next door to Charles Brown, the son of Eunice M.Brown, Cornelius's sister. Although it doesn't show that Eunice is with her family, the rest of the family fits in the profile. Eunice may have been off taking care of her elderly widowed father.

Cornelius III, was a mason by trade but in early life followed the sea for some years. He married in 1809, at Groton, CT, Abigail Lankton. After stopping at various places, among which was Fabrious, Onondaga County, NY. In 1827 they located on Oak Hill, Canisteo Township, but later removed in 1828 to Howard township, a short distance from his former home, where he afterward resided.

In 1811,he was living in New London, CT and was a seaman, sailing to Barbados on the Brig. Harriet, which departed New London on August 8, 1811. The ship's log lists him as a crewman, and was 36 years of age, born in New Bedford and living in New London. He was dark complexioned.

Cornelius married Lankton Abigail (Nabby) on 30 Aug 1809 in Groton, New London, CT. Abigail was born about 1779 in CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In March of 1813, Prince still had a farm in Saratoga next door to Joseph Guile and William Smith. In the 1820 census, Prince is living next door to his brother, Isaac in Cato, Cuyuga county, NY.

Prince, a quiet, thickset little man, had once been a sea captain. All of the Annable family were kind, hard-working gentle people. Prince married widow, Ruth Howland Dewell. To them was born nine children.

Prince moved to Sterling, Whiteside County, IL where he bought one hundred and sixty acres of Federal land on July 22, 1853. County 98, Sec. 29, Twp 22N, Archives Vol. 712, p 007. Section SW, range 06E, Record ID 249340

It is family tradition that he lived in a hamlet known as Hannibalsville, NY on the shores of Lake Ontario sometime during his adult life and before moving to Illinois. This was certainly named after the Annable families living in or near there. Eunice Annable, his sister, used the name Hannibal all her adult life in signing papers.

In the 1880 Federal Census of Otoe County, NE where his son, Isaac lived, it states that his father, Prince, was born in CT. and his mother, b. in NY.

Prince married Howland Ruth about 1804 in Prob. Saratoga County, NY. Ruth (daughter of Howland Silas and de LaFarge Sarah) was born on 20 Dec 1782 in Cuyuga County, NY; died on 26 Jul 1870 in Sterling, Whiteside County, IL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Annable was living in Milo, Yates County, NY in 1830 according to the NY census.

Notes:

It has been a family tradition that Eunice was born in New Bedford, but land records show the family was still in Dartmouth at the time of her birth. No birth records have not been found for the children of Lydia and Isaac Annable in Dartmouth. However, Lydia and Isaac were married and lived in Dartmouth until December of 1780 according to land records, when they moved to New Bedford, MA.

Census records show an Isaac Annable lived in Stillwater in 1800. This is probably Eunice's father.

She and Samuel Right Brown were married in Saratoga on 13 February, 1803. (This information was on a petition to the government to inquire of her eligibility for a land grant because Samuel had served as a volunteer and correspondant in the Volunteer Army in the War of 1812. She was denied the grant.) In this petition, it states that she never remarried but remained a widow of Samuel Right Brown for the rest of her life.

In the autobiography, "The Life of Thurlow Weed" , Weed who once worked for Samuel R. Brown in Auburn's Cuyuga Patriot printing office, wrote; 'Mrs. Brown was placid, emotionless and slipshod. Both were imperturbable. Nothing disturbed either. There was no regular hour for breakfast or dinner, but meals were always under or over done. In short, like a household described by an early English author,"everything upon the table was sour, except the vinegar." The printing sympathized with the housekeeping. This was certainly telling of her personality and character.

Weed also described the village of the Auburn, "as exceedingly muddy, rough-hewn and struggling."

Eunice was head of her household in the census of 1820 and 1825, listing six males and one female. She was not in any census in 1830. She could have moved to Cameron, Steuben County, NY and living with one of her children.

In the census for Torrey, Yates Co., in June 9, 1855, Eunice is listed in the household of her youngest son, Samuel Right Brown, Jr.

By June 19, 1860, she is listed in the household of her son, William Henry Harrison Brown and his wife, Elenor Jane. Samuel, Jr. and family had moved to Indiana and IL by this time.

It has been said that she became almost blind by the time she died. She is buried near her son, William Henry Harrison (Henry) and his wife, Jane; her son, Charles Volney and grandchild, John in the Brown family plot in City Hill Cemetery in Torry, Yates County, NY. All of the graves are next to the Uriah Townsend family plot and are notibly marked by a large brown granite monument marked,"Brown". On the backside of the Brown monument, it mentions Samuel R. Brown as being buried in Cherry Valley, NY.

Eunice married Brown Samuel Right (Wright) on 13 Feb 1803 in Saratoga, Saratoga County, New York. Samuel (son of BROWN Wright Samuel and NEWLAND Hannah, son of BROWN Wright Samuel and OLNEY Bethiah) was born on 26 Sep 1775 in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., NH; died on 15 Sep 1817 in Near Cherry Valley, Otsego County, NY; was buried in Cherry Valley Cemetery, Cherry Valley, Otsego County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Lydia married Fiske Ezra about 1803. Ezra was born on 26 Apr 1778 in Schuylerville, Saratoga County, NY; died in 1831 in Palmyra, Wayne County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Lydia married Wheeler Isaiah after 1831. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hannah lived to be 92 years and seven months. She is buried in the Adam Castner plot. According to the "Home Book of the Darius Myer's Family" by Violet M. Beck; Adam Castner, husband of Hannah's was a wealthy cousin.

In the 1870, a widow, Hannah lived with her eldest child, Catherine L. Townssend husband, Charles J. Townsend.

Hannah married Castner Adam on 25 Jul 1819 in Benton, Ontario County, NY. Adam was born on 08 Jul 1772 in Pluckemin, Somerset County, NJ; died on 17 Apr 1858 in Torrey, Yates Co., NY; was buried in City Hill Cemetery, Torrey, Yates Co., NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
