1052	Exact death date from apocryphal source Covington Surname Origin The name Covington is of Old English origin, and the meaning is "settlement near the cave" It is a fairly common surname, #1053 out of 88799 according to the 1990 U.S. Census. The earliest of the name on record appears to be Covintune who was listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book of 1086. Couvyngton was recorded in 1260 in County Lancashire. Later instances of the name include William de Colbaynston between 1202 and 1222 as witness to a charter by Brice, Bishop of Moray, bestowing the church of Deveth on the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity at Spyny. Edmund de Colbenstone of Lanarkshire, also rendered homage for their possessions in 1296. In 1297, a royal message from Edward I of England was directed to William de Colbeynston, and in 1304, Sir John de Colbanston held the farm of the barony of Colbayneston of the King. Surname Origins in Europe Surnames derived from placenames are divided into two broad categories; topographic names and habitation names. Topographic names are derived from general descriptive references to someone who lived near a physical feature such as an oak tree, a hill, a stream or a church. Habitation names are derived from pre-existing names denoting towns, villages and farmsteads. Other classes of local names include those derived from the names of rivers, individual houses with signs on them, regions and whole countries. In the Middle Ages heraldry came into use as a practical matter. It originated in the devices used to distinguish the armoured warriors in tournament and war, and was also placed on seals as marks of identity. As far as records show, true heraldry began in the middle of the 12th century, and appeared almost simultaneously in several countries of Western Europe.	Covington, Samuel Homer (I1783)

1068	From http://www.genealogybranches.com/naturalization.html Naturalization Petitions Following the Declaration of Intention and meeting the residency requirements an applicant then filed this petition for formal application for US citizenship. There was a 5 year residency requirement (in the US) to become naturalized (raised to 14 years in 1798, lowered back to 5 in 1802). Generally minor children (not born in the US) could derive citizenship from their father when their father naturalized. From 1855 to 1922 alien women became citizens automatically if they married an American citizen. Women could derive citizenship from their spouses until 1922 when the law was changed...	Source (S512)
1069	From http://www.genealogybranches.com/naturalization.html Declarations of Intention (also called "First Papers") The record by which an applicant for US citizenship declared their intent to become a citizen and renounced their allegiance to a foreign government. Early records of this type (before Sept. 1906) usually will have: name, country of birth or allegiance (but not town), date of the application and signature. Some (but very few) show the date and port of arrival in the US. After Sept. 26, 1906 much more detailed information is given including place of birth and port and date of arrival. A Declaration of Intention normally preceded proof of residence or a petition to become a citizen by two or more years. Exceptions: a person who entered the country while a minor, honorable military discharges, a person married to a citizen. Beginning with 1795 a person could declare their intent to become a citizen at any time after they arrived in the United States. A few people did this almost immediately upon arrival.	Source (S511)

1073	From A Thousand and a Half Sutherlands: There is no primary evidence available to indicate William Sutherland was the first of his Sutherland Clan to emigrate to the Colonies. Secondary evidence, however, suggests William emigrated from Scotland before the end of the 17th century. The first mention of William Sutherland in genealogical records appeared in Spencer Mead's book Ye History of ye Town of Greenwich in 1911. Mead states that 'according to family tradition William was born in Scotland...William bought land in the Connecticut Colony town of Horse Neck [Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut Colony], on 16 Feb 1722. According to Douglas Merritt in the book Sutherland Records (where he has two William Sutherlands b. about 1690): Of the second William Sutherland (1) said to be son of William of Scotland, was called Junior in Bangall record (2) said to be son of David and Mary of Westchester Township, NY 1698. [DBC: I will completely ignore the parents of William Sutherland]. ...married 1720 Hannah daughter of Mr Avery; bought land in Greenwich Conn about 16 Feb 1723. William Sutherland carpenter of Dutchess County [New York] mortgaged 206 acres Lot No 5 in Lot No 17, Great Nine Partners, to Mary Barclay, 15 May 1772 (Poughkeepsie, Lib 3 p149). The genealogy of a William Sutherland is so convoluted that all data should be taken with a grain of salt. If Douglas Merritt can't decide who William Sutherland was, then no one can. Furthermore, lists of William's children are wildly inconsistent. In May 2021 there were 2289 trees online in Ancestry.com and all of them appear to be copied from one, very bad tree. Some of them have four marriage entries for William and Hannah Avery yet all of them cite no sources. In light of this abominable online situation perpetuated by Ancestry.com, I have chosen to use as a source the relatively recent book A Thousand and a Half Sutherlands; A Genealogy of Roger Sutherland, His Ancestors and Descendants by Neil Sutherland.

1081	From CG: "Anthony Cooley lived in Kalamazoo, Mich, on Edward Street, and later moved to Paw Paw. He was a farmer, and a painter of considerable reputation. Two of his paintings hang now in the Kalamazoo Public Library. He bore the title of Col Anthony Cooley, though his military service has not been established. He may have served in the New York State Militia or in the War of 1812. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan and Huron Institute, founded in Kalamazoo in 1833, and was also a member of the Executive committee of the school". From a paragraph in the Kalamazoo Museum local history: "Cooley, Benjamin" in a document having to do with men from Kalamazoo County Michigan who participated in the California Gold Rush: "Four Cooley brothers, Thomas, Arad, Anthony, and Benjamin, came to Kalamazoo County in May of 1831. His name variously spelled Anthony or Antony. His uncle's given name was spelled Antoney. His name was preceded by "Col." but there is no military record.	Cooley, Anthony W. (I2203)
1082	From Conn Genealogies: [Elizabeth was the] daughter of William Stoughton. This marriage was against the wish of the bride's father, and [Rev. Timothy] Edwards refused the communion to the young couple, and refused to baptize their children, unless Diggins should make public confession of his "scandalous offence." The church seems to have taken the young man's part, and endeavored in every way to persuade the pastor to recede. A lengthy controversy ensued, which finally developed into a trial of the pastor's power and right to negative (sic) a vote of the church. The struggle continued for several years, and is fully recorded in "A Narrative of the Troubles in the Second Church in Windsor from the year 1735 to the year 1741" a manuscript of Gov. Roger Wolcott in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford. A Mr. Matt B. Jones who contributed the Dickens, Diggins notes states that he has recently (1980's) found Joseph Diggins' and Elizabeth Stoughton's "marriage record among the early marriages of Somers, Conn, under date Dec 17, 1735, the name of the wife there appearing as Elizabeth Houghton, but it is stated that both were of Windsor and there was no Houghton family of Windsor, the evidence being abundant that he did marry Elizabeth Stoughton." In light of the scandalous nature of their marriage, it seems likely the couple dashed over to the neighboring Toland county to get married and the bride "accidentally" misspelled her last name.

1090	From http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohjeffer/doylebioindex/jjbarnhouse.html J. J. BARNHOUSE, a general farmer, who owns eighty-two acres of fine land, situated in Salem Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, was born in Springfield Township, Jefferson County, November 21, 1843. He is a son of C. C. and Drusilla (Wagner) Barnhouse. C. C> Barnhouse was born in Springfield Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, December 9, 1818, a son of George and Susan (Fox) Barnhouse. The father of George Barnhouse came from Hesse-Cassel, Germany, probably with the Hessian forces which were hired by the British at the time of the Revolutionary War. It is a family tradition that he escaped from the British army and fought for the colonies. He settled in Virginia, probably in Loudon County, as it was from there that his son George Barnhouse, came to Jefferson County and subsequently settled in Springfield Township, where years later both he and wife died and were buried in the cemetery not far from their farm. They were members of the German Reformed CHurch. To George and Susan (Fox) Barnhouse, ten children were born and nine grew to maturity. They were as follows: Benjamin, who was born in Loudon County, Virginia, married Mary Gillespie and they lived near Sharon, in Noble County, Ohio; Priscilla, who married Thomas Eberhart, and they lived in Tuscarauwas County, Ohio; William, who died in infancy; Elizabeth, who married William Dotts and resided in Carroll and Jefferson Counties; Lucinda, who never married; George, who was born after the family came to Jefferson County, married Rosanna McFerren, and they lived in Noble County, Ohio; Abner, who married Elizabeth Miller, and lived in Jefferson and Carroll Counties, Ohio, but died in Michigan; Jacob, who married Elizabeth Hall, and lived in Noble County; C. C., who spent much of his life in Jefferson County and is noticed more fully in another paragraph of this sketch; and Sampson, who was born in Jefferson County, married Katherine Able, and they lived in Noble and Morgan Counties. On the maternal side, Grandfather Fox came to America from England. He was a poor boy and as was a frequent custom in those days, entered into a contract with a vessel captain to work for his passage across the ocean. This placed him more or less in the hands of a bad man, for when the end of the voyage was reached he kept the young man a prisoner until some one hired him--a Maryland farmer, who paid the passage money demanded by the captain and then took Mr. Fox with him as a slave until he should have worked out the sum. In those days when laws were lax, great injustice was frequently done. Mr. Fox accompanied his purchaser, but evidently was not willing to submit to the latter's treatment, for he soon ran away and went into the Patriot army, subsequently finding a peaceful home in Virginia. In 1840, C. C> Barnhouse was married to Drucilla Wagner, and they had the following children: George William, who died when aged four months; J. J., whose name begins this sketch; Chastina E., who married Ervin Naragon, of Minerva, Ohio; and Zachery T., who married Lucinda Whitmore (they resided for a time in Harrison County, but later moved to California, where he died). For some time after marrying, Mr. Barnhouse remained in Springfield Township, but then moved to Harrison County and later to Carroll County. They moving back to Jefferson County, he settled in Springfield Township, within a half mile of wher ehe was born, and he died there April 7, 1869. His wife had passed away on April 19, 1866, and both were interred at East Springfield, Ohio. They were worthy members of the German Reformed Church, good, honest, virtuous people. Mr. Barnhouse was a member of the Republican party and as a citizen was held in such high esteem in Springfield Township that he was frequently elected to office and served both as assessor and as supervisor. From 1854 until the date of his death he was a Free Mason in good standing. His estate comprised 150 acres of land situated in Jefferson County/ J. J. Barnhouse was educated in the schools of Springfield Township and the Normal School at Hopedale, Harrison County, after which he returned to the home farm to give his father assistance and continued to live on that place for twelve years after his own marriage. He then moved for a time into Cross Creek Township and from there came to his present farm on March 28, 1882, since which time he has made many improvements, all the substantial farm buildings now standing having been erected by himself. General farming is carried on by him and he is ably assisted by his son, Roy B. No tests for oil or gas have ever been made here nor has the land been leased for coal rights. It is a well managed, productive property and all the surroundings indicate thrift and prosperity. Mr. Barnhouse was married May 23, 1867, to Miss Nancy Jane Naragon, a daughter of William and Nancy A. Naragon, of Miller's Station, Harrison County, and a granddaughter of Jacob Naragon, who came to Harrison County from Schuylkill County, Pa., and had been a soldier in the War of 1812. His father was killed in Pennsylvania in early days, by the Indians. Mr. and Mrs. Barnhouse have four children; Anna L., who lives at home; William E., who resides at Billings, Montana; R. Howard, whose home is in California; and Roy B. In politics Mr. Barnhouse is identified with the Democratic party. He served one term as township supervisor and two terms as school director, but his life has been mainly a private one, his desires never making him anxious for public notice. FOr many years he has been connected with the Masonic fraternity. With his family he attends and gives his liberal support to the Presbyterian Church.	Barnhouse, J.J. (I1006)

1092	From Marriages in Harrison County, Ohio:Jacob Barnhouse and Elizabeth Cane, May 9, 1839, by James Endsley, JP Now here's a compilation by Sharyl Farrell, Duck Creek Pioneers, Compiled by Sharyl Ferrall; for all who have ancestors settling Duck Creek Valley, OH 1800's 9/10/1999 [last up-dated 1/26/02] Elizabeth Hull Kane Barnhouse, b. July 4, 1813 in Huntingdon Cty PA removed to Jefferson Cty, OH in 1830. After her marriage to Jacob Barnhouse on May 9, 1839 in Harrison Cty they moved to Noble Cty. In an articular in the Caldwell OH newspaper on July 4 1885, she was interviewed and said her home was in Belle Valley. She was a widow before 1850. [I'm sorry, I didn't record who sent this to me.

1093	From Massachusetts Town and Vital Records and the 1857 transcription of marriages in Leicester Mass the date of the Benjamin and Eunice marriage is 2 Sep 1752. As respects the note below about the "Old Stile" date, the 2nd of September 1752 is still an Old Style date, it was the last date of the Julian calender in Britain and the British Colonies. At midnight on what would have been the 3rd, 11 days were added resulting in the new date of September 14th, 1752. Some sources have their date of marriage 2 Sep 1752 "Old Stile" but this is surely wrong since the date of conversion to the Gregorian Calendar by England and the American Colonies was the very same day, 2 Sep 1752 so the next day was 14 Sep 1752. Confusion abounded at the time just as today so the 16 Aug 1752 date seems most likely from the Mass Vitals source. As a refereence, the Cooley Genealogy states: "On Apr. 13, 1752 [Eunice Cooley's] intention to wed was filed in Leicester, Mass., and on May 2, 1752 she was married to Benjamin Garfield of Leicester."	Family: Benjamin Garfield / Eunice Cooley (F711)

1097	From the 1850 census of Jackson Twp, Miami Co, IN, a Jane is listed ae 13 thus born about 1837. Two assumptions: (1) If her twin brother Wm Barton did not survive childbirth and (2) she was called "Jane" (possibly her middle name) then I will list Matilda as being born in Ohio in 1837.	Miller, Matilda (I121)
1098	From the Cooley Genealogy "[Azariah Cooley II] died 28 Feb 1778 [at] Bloody Brook, Deerfield Mass where he settled on 1 July 1774". "Bloody Brook" is the namae of the site in Deerfiled where Native Americans ambushed and massacred English settlers in 1675.* Azariah signed the covenant made by the men of Brimfield "for absolute non0intercourse with Great Britain". He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars as well as the Revolution. *The Battle of Bloody Brook was fought on September 18, 1675 Old Style (September 28, 1675 New Style) between English colonial militia from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a band of Indians led the Nipmuc Sachem Muttawmp, during King Philip's War. The Indians ambushed colonists escorting a train of wagons carrying the harvest from Deerfield to Hadley, and killed at least 40 militiamen and 17 teamsters out of a company that included 79 militia. - Wikipedia	Cooley, Azariah (I2119)
1099	From the Cooley Genealogy p 451 "Daniel Cooley married again, in 1709, the widow of Jonathan Burt, Lydia by name, daughter of John and Mercy Dumbleton."	Dumbleton, Lydia (I1920)
1100	From the Bliss Genealogy it appears that a Hester Bliss, who arrived in Boston after the Thomas Bliss Sr family was established in Hartford (1640), was married to an Edward Foster, himself a servant of John Pynchon. The question arises: was the Hester Bliss of Boston the same Hester Bliss, daughter of Thomas Sr? There is also the question of her twin sister Elizabeth. Why isn't Elizabeth mentioned in conjunction with Hester? It appears likely that (1) Hester of Boston is probably not the Hester of Hartford. If she is eliminated as a child of Thomas Bliss Sr. the question of her twin sister still remains. Another possibility, (2) Hester of Hartford did not marry Edward Foster. I will keep Edward Foster as husband because of the strong John Pynchon link to Springfield and that Hester died in Springfield. [Dec. 26, 1661, Edward Foster, a servant of John Pynchon, Esq., a merchant in Springfield, Mass., was m. to "Hester Bliss", supposed by some to have been a member of this family, came to this country after the death of Thomas Bliss, sen. It appears by the "account book" kept by John Pynchon, Esq...[he] agreed with Hester at Boston, to serve bim a year for four pounds sterling, and that she commenced her service with him Nov. 1, 1658. And Mr. P. paid on her account, at Boston, two pounds to the "pinnace master;" which indicates that she had then lately arrived from England, and that that sum was the balance due for her passage. For this reason Judge Morris excluded her name from the list of the children in the {Thomas Bliss Sr family]. The birthdates and places of the twins Hester and Elizabeth Bliss are not clear. I have stated they were born in Hartford Plantation in 1640 because there is evidence Thomas Bliss Sr was in Hartford "as early as 1640". If they were born before 1640 Glouscestershire seems likely or aboard ship which seems less likelly.	Bliss, Hester (I2148)
