Whitefriars is an area in the Ward of Farringdon Without in the City of London. The area takes its name from the medieval Carmelite religious house, known as the White Friars, that lay here between about 1247 and 1538. Only a crypt remains today of what was once a late 14th century priory belonging to a Carmelite order popularly known as the White Friars because of the white mantles they wore on formal occasions.

(Research):Warkworth is a village in Northumberland, England situated in a loop of the River Coquet, about 1.6 km from the Northumberland coast. It is 48 km north of Newcastle, and about 64 km south of the Scottish border. An ancient bridge of two arches crosses the river at Warkworth, with a fortified gateway on the road mounting to the well-preserved medieval castle, church and hermitage.
Warkworth Castle was originally constructed as a wooden fortress, some time after the Norman Conquest. It was later ceded to the Percy family, who held it, and resided there on and off (dependent on the state of their often stormy relationship with the royalty of the time) until the 16th century. During this period the castle was rebuilt with sandstone curtain walls and greatly reinforced. The imposing keep, overlooking the village of Warkworth was added during the late 14th century. It was refurbished, with much refaced stonework, by the Dukes of Northumberland in the late 19th century. The castle formed the backdrop for several scenes in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2.

DAR Patriot: Connecticut, Ensign, 9th Co, 4th Regt, Jan 1780
Letter of Administration, Dutchess County, New York from Surrogate Office's Records Liber C p33.

"James Sears was present in the probate of Jehiel Sherwood's estate" - taken from a letter to Hubert Andrew Arnold from a professional genealogist identified as "Box 480, Salt Point" [Salt Point is a hamlet in Dutchess County, New York, United States. It lies northeast of Poughkeepsie following New York Route 115, the Salt Point Turnpike]. This statement is very important with respect to establishing circumstantial evidence that Mehitible Sherwood, James Sears' wife, was the daughter of Jehiel Sherwood.

South East, New York The first settler arrived around 1730. The area first exploited was called "The Oblong," and was outside of the land claimed by the Philipse Patent. Due to a border dispute between New York and Connecticut the area between the undisputed border of NY and the undisputed border of CT was an approximately 4-mile-wide area which ran the full north-south dimension of Dutchess County. This was called the Oblong. Land was sold in this area both by the governor of NY and the King of England for Connecticut, with conflicting deeds. The boundary was settled in New York's favor by the 1731 Treaty of Dover. A southern portion of the Oblong was alternately known as Southeast as it was the southeasternmost town in Dutchess County. It consisted of the eastern half of the current Town of Patterson, and the eastern half of the current town of Southeast. The western half of the current town of Southeast was part of the large Phillipse Patent which had not yet been divided into towns. The most heavily-settled area of the Oblong at this point was the "city" of Frederickstown, now the hamlet of Patterson. The town of Southeast, then still including its portion of the Oblong, was founded in 1788, and formed the southeast corner of Dutchess County. In 1795, the town that had been Southeast's neighbor, Frederickstown was divided into the present Carmel, Kent, and Patterson, the latter two known at first as "Frederick" and "Franklin." At that time, Southeast lost its northern half to Patterson, and expanded to the west to become the shape it is now. Putnam County split from Dutchess in 1812. The most densely populated area in the town is the village of Brewster.

Jehiel married Sarah Squire on 5 Oct 1763 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Sarah (daughter of Daniel Squire and Abigail Osborn) was born on 23 Jan 1746/47 in Fairfield County, Connecticut; died on 6 May 1793 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

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.

Hezekiah married Eleanor Ogden on 16 Mar 1796 in Probably Fairfield Co, Connecticut. Eleanor was christened on 27 Sep 1778; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mehitable/Mabel Sherwood was the daughter of Jehiel Sherwood. She was born about November 1780. The first solid reference to "Mehitable" wife of James Sears, appears on the 1826 gravestone at Hunt's Corners, Wayne Co, New York. Previous references to the wife of James Sears had her name as "Mabel" Sherwood. Is the "Mabel" of South East, New York the "Mehitable", wife of James Sears, at Hunt's Corners? Circumstantially, it is convincing but no specific documentation exists to verify that Mehitable/Mabel Sherwood was the daughter of Jehiel Sherwood. She died 12 Mar 1826 in Wayne County NY aged 45 years and this inscription on Mehitable's gravestone was what I used to arrive at a birth date of approximately Nov 1780. The central problem with Mehitable is that in a Fairfield Church journal of families (not kept in real time), a list of Jehiel Sherwood's family members does not contain either Abigail or Mehitable. This has caused over a century of consternation even leading 19th century DAR applicants to falsify records (in the New York City Public Library) to enable the inclusion of these two children. In fact, Hezakiah Sherwood's name was erased from the Fairfield Church list in order to get Abigail's name in there. There's no justification for doing this. I am able to "fit" birthdates for all without erasing anyone. The burnng of Fairfield by the British in 1779 could well have prevented the recording of Abigail and Mehitable Sherwood's births. From Wikipedia: "On the morning of July 7, 1779, approximately 2,000 enemy troops landed on Fairfield Beach near Pine Creek Point and proceeded to invade the town. When they left the following evening, the entire town lay in ruins, burned to the ground as punishment for Fairfield's support of the rebel cause. Ten years later, President George Washington noted after traveling through Fairfield, that "the destructive evidences of British cruelty are yet visible both in Norwalk and Fairfield; as there are the chimneys of many burnt houses standing in them yet."
The gravestone inscription in the Hunts Corners Cemetery in Wayne County NY is "In memory of/Mehitable/wife of James Sears/ who died March 12, 1826 in the 45th/year of her age." At one time there was a dispute about the year, that it could be 1824, but I have closely examined the gravestone picture and the last digit of the year definitely has a curved top thus it could not be a four.
