1501	Thomas Seeley or Sellye was of Detroit. In US censuses his surname was spelled Sellye while the Cooley Genealogy the name is spelled Seeley and his father's surname was spelled Seeley. In the US Civil War Draft Registrations his surname is spelled Seeley.	Seelye, Thomas (I2302)

1504	Two DAR applications list the husband as "Hebbard" (No. 74380, Mrs. Ida L. Fitchard and No. 131665, Mrs. Jessie Estelle Margerin). They list the birthdate of Abigail as 17 Feb 1777. That, however, was the birth year of Hezekiah who was omitted from their applications. They may have been referring to the Grenville C. Mackenzie papers which also omit Hezekiah substituting his birth year of 1777 for Abigail's. I do not think that there is any justification for omitting Hezikiah from the list of Jehiel Sherwood's children. In fact, with reports of the pencilling in of information in the MacKenzie papers and the Lounsbury papers (letterTalbot to Arnold) it appears that there has been deliberate alteration of Sherwood family history data (possibly as early as 1895) in order to juggle, include, and exclude names in the list of Jehiel Sherwood's children. With Fitchard, for example, she desperately had to find a father for her ancestor Abigail Sherwood and Jehiel Sherwood, Revolutionary War Patriot, filled the bill. However, it is unconscionable to remove a name (Hezekiah) to get Abigail in there. I have done an analysis in which I added three names (Mehitable, Abigail, and William) to the original Greenfield Hill Church list leaving original birth dates in place with logical birth dates for the additional children. A mystery of the ages, however, is why two of those names, Mehitable and Abigail, did not appear in the Greenfield list. William was a latecomer born in New York City, giving a reasonable explanation for his omission.	Sherwood, Hezekiah (I269)

Samuel Cooley Sr left Vermont in 1816, and engaged in farming in Cambria, Niagara Co., N. Y., and in 1832 settled in Bruce, Mich. Mr. Cooley, of this sketch, was employed as a carder and cloth-dresser in Niagara County, N. Y. In 1832, he came to Michigan and purchased 120 acres of land in Bruce, returning to New York in the fall of that year, intending to remain. He was persuaded to come back with his father, to whom he sold his land and bought eighty acres more, on which he has since pursued the vocation of a farmer. He has been the owner of several farms and a considerable amount of timber land. He was married, January 1, 1835, to Lucretia Hindz, of Cambria, N. Y., a native of Vermont.

1531	William was churchwarden[1] of St. Peters in Berkhamsted after 1610. He was a Justice of the Peace, Member of Parliament, Agent for the Duchy of Cornwall (belonging to the King) in Berkhamsted about 1612. This was the beginning of enclosures[2] in Berkhamsted, in which he was involved with the Duchy lands. He was deputed [to ask someone to act or speak for you] to select 30 acres "lying west upon the former inclosed grounds (Colharbour Farm), north uppon a highway leading from the great heath towards Aldbury, east uppon the open Frith (Commons) and south uppon the old fence of the Parke", for the purpose. Receipt in the accounts to the vestry[3] includes 3/4d from him for the burial of his son George, in the church. Elected Sidesman[4] in 1612 and signed the vestry proceedings that year. Presented on 9 Apr 1613 in which he contributes another 3/4 d for his child Martha's grave. In 1613 a levy for repairs to the Church reveals that William's rank was the 6th highest in the Parish based on holding 23 acres arable, 2.5 acres meadow, and other wealth. He was one of the first "Gentlemen" of 12 new Capital Burgesses when King James I granted the town a new Charter on 18 Jul 1618. Elected churchwarden on 26 Apr 1622. In 1625 he paid 6/8d for Mrs. Mason's grave (his mother in law?). In 1625 more enclosure was called for by Charles I in order to raise money, even though no more division had been promised by the King's father. Behind the scenes bargaining was made with Berkhamsted for loss of grazing on 400 acres, for 100 acres for the town's poor. Fences were raised, probably under William's order, and torn down by North church farmers on an Aug 1640 night. They prevailed and it wasn't for another 220 years that Lord Brownlow who owned the Duchy rights enclosed the same 400 acres. This enclosure also did not prevail, however. He was a Bailiff[5] in 1625. He was called Mr. Pitkin after 1627. He paid 6/8d for his wife Jane's grave in Apr 1628; she had died in childbirth (with daughter Jane). He was Chief Burgess in 1628. He signed minutes of Vestry meetings in 1631 where problems about Church dissention and other activities were noted. In 1632 he was assessed on 196 acres, the second largest in the parish. He took office as an Overseer of the Poor in 1633 and he sold the Church wardens some timber, that year. He became Headmaster of Berkhamsted Grammar School 8 Aug 1636 and elected Overseer of the Poor in 1642. He died in January 1644/45 and was probably buried in the St. Peter's Church churchyard. [1] A churchwarden is a lay official in a parish or congregation of the Anglican Communion, usually working as a part-time volunteer. Holders of these positions are ex officio members of the parish board, usually called a vestry, parochial church council, or in the case of a Cathedral parish the chapter. [2] Enclosure (sometimes inclosure) was the legal process in England of enclosing a number of small landholdings to create one larger farm. Once enclosed, use of the land became restricted to the owner, and it ceased to be common land for communal use. In England and Wales the term is also used for the process that ended the ancient system of arable farming in open fields. Under enclosure, such land is fenced (enclosed) and deeded or entitled to one or more owners. The process of enclosure began to be a widespread feature of the English agricultural landscape during the 16th century. By the 19th century, unenclosed commons had become largely restricted to rough pasture in mountainous areas and to relatively small parts of the lowlands. - Wikipedia [3] Colloquial: A "vestry" was the committee for the secular and ecclesiastical government for a parish in England and Wales which met in the vestry or sacristy of the parish church. A vestry is a room in a church, especially one in which priests and the group of people who sing in church put on the special clothes they wear for church ceremonies, and in which things used in church ceremonies are sometimes kept. [4] A sidesperson, also known as a sidesman or usher, in the Anglican Church is responsible for greeting members of the congregation, overseeing seating arrangements in church, and for taking the collection. In England they are usually appointed by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and receive guidance in their duties from the churchwardens. [5] *Bailiff was the term used by the Normans for what the Saxons had called a reeve: the officer responsible for executing the decisions of a court. The duty of the bailiff would thus include serving summonses and orders, and executing all warrants issued out of the corresponding court. The district within which the bailiff operated was called his bailiwick, even to the present day. Bailiffs were outsiders and free men, that is, they were not usually from the bailiwick for which they were responsible. Primarily, bailiff referred to the officer executing the decisions of manorial courts, and the hundred courts.	Pitkin, William (I1987)

1535	Yates County New York erected 1823 from Ontario County. Farmington Hills is the second largest city in Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan and a northwestern suburb of Detroit. The first white settler in what became Farmington Township was a Quaker from Farmington, New York, named Arthur Power. He purchased land in 1823, left, then returned in 1824 with a group of family and associates to clear the land. The settlement became known as Quakertown. A post office was established Quakertown in January 1826 with the name of Farmington. Shortly, the township of Farmington was organized in 1827. In 1839 a post office named East Farmington was established but it only lasted for three years. In 1847, a post office named North Farmington was established a mile south of the township line as Wolcott's Corners. After the death of postmaster Chauncey D. Walcott in 1865, the office moved to the township line in the northeast quarter of section 4 (near the intersection of 14 Mile Road and Farmington Road). The settlement incorporated as the village of Farmington in the winter of 1866-67. A fire on October 9, 1872, destroyed many buildings in the center of the village. Farmington incorporated as a city in 1926. Farmington Hills initially was part of the city of Farmington but it incorporated as a seoarate city in 1973.	Coomer, Benjamin Goff (I1723)

1537	[Henry's] widow survived him about five weeks; she died July 7 [1655], and her will, dated July 5, is attested by her mark. The explanation of this, which we find in one of our old manuscripts, is unquestionably authentic: "Their wills were made just before their deaths, and Mrs. Wolcott, not being well enough to write her name, only made her mark." - Wolcott Genealogy	Saunders, Elizabeth (I1989)
1538	[Julius Augustus Owen's] second wife was Rebecca Murray whom he married 30 Oct 1811 at Fairfax, VT. (She was the widow of Zadock Clark). He had three children by Rebecca the second of which was Ambrose Owen (and the ninth child overall).	Murray, Rebecca (I432)
