| 3802 | The fact that he is not buried in the same cemetery as his wife and child at Sackville suggests he moved away from the area. I have come to the conclusion that he is the William H. Crandall who was born in Chester, Nova Scotia and moved to Massachusetts where he married in 1867. The marriage record states it is his second marriage, which is consistant. | CRANDALL, William Haliburton (I1408)

| 3807 | The following extracts are from The History of Carlton in Coverdale 1086-1910 by Nora Elaine Joynes "Coverham rectory A large-scale dealer in land acquired the first lease of Coverham. rectory from the Court of Augmentations - none other than Leonard Beckwith, who was the Receiver for the Augmentations in Yorkshire. Here in the Archdeaconry of Richmond he was operating outside his own area, where he also acquired monastic property. Beckwith was granted the lease of Coverharn rectory for twenty-one years at the rent of f20 on 10 June, 1537. In 1562 the reversion of the rectory, then in the tenure of John Ward, was granted to Thomas Allen and Thomas Freman, along with the Rectory of Iford, Sussex. 45 The tithes of the ancient parish church thus passed to a succession of lay impropriators, who bought and sold their shares of the rectory like any other piece of property, while the pastoral needs of the parish were served by a perpetual curate." "The witnesses in 1613 gave differing evidence about the tithes paid by the other four granges, but they all distinguished between Carlton Flatts and the other four. The phrase 'except Carlton Flatts' occurs repeatedly. An explanation was given for this difference by Richard Geldart of Carlton, who claimed to be aged ninety or thereabouts. He stated that John Ward, who was an impropriator of the rectory, also obtained a lease of the five granges for twenty-one years from the Earl and Countess of Lennox. He sub-let the other granges, but fanned Carlton Flatts himself. This evidence was partly contradicted by one of the Dawson family who said that about fifty years before (i. e. about 1563) his father Roger Dawson was an under-tenant of John Ward leasing half of Carlton Flatts for seven or eight years, and never paid any tithes to John Ward or any other farmers of the rectory. However, it seems clear that the difference between Carlton Flatts and the other four granges came about in the time of John Ward." The witnesses described events after the Dissolution, when John Ward, Luke Metcalfe and Leonard Buckle (father of the plaintiff) had a lease of the parsonage of Coverharn and of the chapel and its three acres of land, and were undisturbed during their lease. Roger Dawson said he had heard they paid f6 rent (which seems to indicate the offerings were profitable)" | WARD, John (I9819)

| 3809 | The following is from Jim White, a descendent of David Reece Thomas' sister Gwenllian. "In 1926 he emigrated to the US, where he was followed the next year by his wife and two surviving children. They set up home in Chicago, with another child, Ellen, being born in 1933. One son, James, died of bone cancer in his teens. The two remaining children grow up to hold successful positions - Joe in the commercial gas industry and recognised as an authority, testifying on a number of occasions before Congress. Married, he had six children, all of whom are either lawyers, or engineers, or teachers and, apart from two, live in the Chicago suburbs. Joe died suddenly while on business in New York. I am in contact with Ellen, she having been over here several times and I have visited Chicago. I also keep in touch with Joe´s granddaughter, Rebecca, who is just going up to college. All are interested in FH. " | THOMAS, David Reece (I9252)

| 3810 | The following was found in a book called 'Swaledale - Its Mines and Smelt Mills' Mike Gill, Landmark Publishing, 2nd Ed 2004, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. ISBN 1-84306-131-7'. I believe the smelter named Ralph Warde is one and the same as this Ralph Warde, born about 1618. "The site of a second mill is revealed in a sale of land at Orgate to Robert Willance in 1614. It is not clear who built that mill, but for convenience Tyson called it Willance's Mill. When Willance died in 1616, his estates including the mill, passed to his nephew, Brian Willance. The latter's daughter and heiress, Elizabeth, married Doctor John Bathurst in 1635. He worked at the Arkengarthdale Mines, first under the Commonwealth (1649 - 1653) and then under a lease from the Citizens of London from 1654. Ore was carried from shafts, chiefly around Windegg, via Gun Nest to Willance's Mill. Here two smelters, (Ralph Warde and John Taylor) were paid 10s 6d for each fother of lead they produced plus 2d for weighing it… .´´ A John Taylor close to Ralph's age in the area was one John Taylor b. in Forcett, 01 Jan 1620, son of William of Ovington. Another quote taken from http://sometimes-interesting.com/2015/03/22/orewinners-and-deadmen-lead-mining-in-swaledale/: "The smelters were the highest paid men in the mining operation as it required considerable experience to be able to produce good quality lead. The men doing it may not have been aware of the chemical terms for what they were doing, but it was quite sophisticated chemistry that they were performing, first turning the ore into lead oxide, and then adding carbon to remove the oxygen to produce the finished metal. They controlled everything: lighting the furnace, choosing the type and amount of fuel to use, and the casting of the lead pigs at the end of the process." ----------------- Ralph Warde is also mentioned in the book 'A Dales Heritage' by Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby, in chapter 2 'Two Seventeenth-Century Lead-Mine Proprietors' describing the entries in the business account books, in 1657, of Dr.John Bathurst, manorial lord, and the owner of Clints mine: ``The accounts are complicated by the borrowing which prevailed. Almost everyone, including the smelters, was in debt. For instance, although the partners at the White Gang had raised 247 ½ loads of ore, they were only paid for 225 ½ . The twenty-two loads deducted cancelled out previous debts, and 'Clear' is now written at the bottom of their column of figures. A further list of individual miners record debts ranging from shillings to £ 2 8s. 8d., and one of the smelters, Ralph Warde, owing £ 3, had paid off part leaving him still owing £ 1 15s... The rate for the smelters was 10s. 6d. For smelting a fother and 2d. a fother for weighing. Between them they received £ 39 16s. 3d. During the year. Ralph Warde also chopped wood and the other smelter, John Taylor, built up 'Orgait house in Clints ground which was burnt' for £ 1 2s. 6d.`` __________________________ Other entries re baptising and burial of Ralph's children are, unfortunately, illegible. Here is another quote from a book that may apply to Ralph's widow: "The restoration of the monarchy brought in the 'Hearth Tax' - (two shillings on every hearth in order to provide Charles II with some revenue. The only apparent extant record for the area is 1672. It shows that the Widow Warde was exempt." ____________________ He was still alive in 1665 ... "It is known that Marske has suffered in 1665 when stringent measures were enforced to keep George Mason and his family in quarantine for forty days. (NR Yorks Qtr Sessions Records Vol VI). Under the direction of the constable six men maintained a day and night watch at Mason's home because he had "…lately come from the city of London". Some of the watchers were Hutton Harrison, Matthew Smith, Ralph Ward..."He is also mentioned in the Inventory statement on the will of Thomas Horseman Hollings, Marske on the 7th Mar 1664 as owing him 10s 2d. On this document his name is spelled 'Raiph' | WARD, Ralph (I1678)

| 3832 | The Halifax Herald Tue, Feb 15, 1887 ·Page 4 DEATH OF CAPT. FRED. CURRY. ----- One of Hants County's Most Famous Sea Captains and Shipbuilders. (From the Windsor Tribune.) By the death of Capt. Frederick Curry, Hants county has lost one of its most enterprising and wealthy shipowners. Capt. Fred, as he was generally termed by his numerous friends, was a son of Thomas Curry, who was a tenant of the Bayfield estate then owned by the father of the late Col. Butler. He was born in 1812. Several years ago the Capt purchased from the Butler estate for $20,000 the farm on which he was born. He was one of a family of eight children, seven sons and one daughter. His brother, Capt. Thomas Curry, of Windsor, also a ship owner, the father of the present liberal candidate for Hants, was also very successful in his business and died in 1874. Captain Fred was one of the most wealthy men in the county, being estimated to be worth over $300,000, all of which he made by his own pluck and energy. Besides his vessels he was a large owner of bank stock, also owned extensively in the Halifax sugar refinery, cotton factory, besides being a large owner of real estate. His only two surviving brothers are Edward Curry, farmer, who resides near Windsor and for several years has been blind from cataract, and James Curry also a farmer. Capt. Fred Curry married the daughter of Nicholas Mosher, of Avondale, shipbuilder. His family consists of three sons, Capt. Nicholas, Frederick and Rufus, and one daughter Mary, the wife of Rev. C.M. Tyler, Weslyan minister, now stationed at Maitland. The captain from an early age followed the sea. After his marriage he resided at Avondale. He retired from the sea about thirty years ago and has since that time been engaged in shipbuilding, and built some of the finest vessels that ever sailed the ocean. We have been informed that the first vessel Capt. Curry commanded was the brig Ready Rhino, owned by James Fletcher of Wentworth. This was about the year 1841. After that he sailed in the employ of Capt. John Duncan, and afterwards for Bennett Smith. The names of some of the vessels Capt. Curry was master of in those days were the brigs Mars and Alpine, barque Levant, ship Humber, and ship Squando, all being well known vessels and profitable. The names of some of the vessels he has built and owned the past 25 years are ship Juno, barque Simcoe, barque Venus, ship Summer, ship Joseph, ship Arklow, ship Tuscar, ship Algoma. Capt Curry was a man of fine physique, being over six feet in height and stout in proportion, of attractive appearance and manner. He bore the weight of age lightly, although 75 years old one would not take him to be 65. Perhaps no Nova Scotian sea captain was better known in shipping circles in Liverpool, London and New York, as since his retirement from sea, he occasionally visited those ports where by his genial manner he made hosts of warm friends. Capt. Curry was a liberal in politics and took rather an active part. In 1871 he contested the county with the late W.D. Lawrence of Maitland, in opposition to Messrs. Allison and McDougall, for a seat in the local legislature, but was unsuccessful. Capt. Curry came to Windsor the middle of December to be near his medical adviser. Previous to that he had been complaining of ill health. The disease partook of a gangrenous form involving the whole of the right foot. The disease remained stationary until February 1st, when symptoms of blood poisoning manifested themselves, and from that date he rapidly grew worse, and on Thursday evening he calmly passed away, surrounded by his wife and family. During his illness Dr. Gossip, his physician, held several consultations with Dr.'s Black, Weeks, Parker and Farrell, but all medical skill could do was to no avail. Capt. Curry was a gentleman known to all in this community and much respected. He possessed many good qualities, both as a business man and a citizen, and leaves a blank in business circles not easily filled. ------------------------ The Halifax Herald Mon, Mar 07, 1887 ·Page 3 CAPT. FRED CURRY'S WILL. The will of the late Capt. Frederick Curry, of Avondale, was probated a few days ago. Following are the principal bequests: To his wife Sarah Jane Curry, the homestead at Avondale, all the plate and household effects, for her own sole use, and the sum of $1,000 per annum for her life time, the principal set apart for this purpose on the demise of his wife to be divided equally among his children. To his son Nicholas Curry a lot of land and premises and two lots of dyke land at Avondale, together with the interest on the sum of $20,000. To his son Frederick Curry, the house and lot of land at Avondale, also the property in Windsor known as the Hall estate, also four acres of dyke land in Windsor, also the sum of $20,000.

The inventory of the estate is $180,000. | CURRY, Capt. Frederick (I6436)

| 3837 | The Halifax Herald - Mon. Aug 16, 1886 A Hants Family Drowned. A sad account of the drowning of the famly of Wellington Marsters at Portland, Maine, was recently published in the Herald. Mr. Marsters belonged to Scotch Village, Hants, and moved to Portland about three years ago. He has a sister living at Hantsport, Mrs. Chisholm. Miss Weir, a sister of Mrs. Marsters, is residing at Eliza P. Harris', Windsor. The Whitten and Cleveland children who were drowned were all grand children of Wellington Marsters. They were out on a pleasure excursion, intending to spend the day on one of the islands of the harbor, when the accident occurred. ----------------- Article Published - August 5, 1886 in the New York Times Seven Persons Drowned Sad Ending of a Day’s Pleasure in Portland Harbor Portland, Me., Aug. 4. - This morning, about 8 o’clock, a merry party left the wharf for a day’s sail among the islands. They occupied two small open sailboats, and in all numbered 15 persons, as follows: Welling Masters and wife, John R. Cleveland and wife, James Whitten and wife, Emma and Harry Cleveland, children of J. R. Cleveland; Benjamin, Maud, James, and Owen Whitten, children of James Whitten; and the members of the family of Edward Masters, Misses Linny and Maud Masters and James (should be Jane or Janie) Masters. Mr. and Mrs. Whitten also had with them a young baby. All the members of the party were related to each other. The morning was pleasant, but a cool breeze, blowing across the water from the northwest, came in treacherous flaws. Welling Masters had charge of one of the boats, a Hampden boat having but one sail. Mrs. Masters was in this boat with her husband, and with them were James Masters, Emma and Harry Cleveland, Maud Whitten, Benjamin Whitten and their older brother, James. The remainder of the party were in the boat under the charge of Mr. Cleveland. All went well until about 9:30, when the two boats were some distance beyond the wharf of the Diamond Island Company on Great Diamond Island, both being near the shore and Mr. Cleveland’s boat some distance ahead of the other. Mr. Cleveland looking around for the other boat, saw her in the act of coming about. She rolled from side to side and suddenly, right before the eyes of the occupants of the other boat, turned completely over. One of the ladies screamed that the boat had been capsized, but Mr. Whitten who had also seen the accident, pointed out another boat a short distance away , and for a moment the women were satisfied that it was the boat containing their friends. Mr. Cleveland at once made for the shore, but before he could render assistance to the occupants of the other boat all but one were beyond help. The returning boat first encountered floating upon the surface of the water the body of Wellington Masters and this was taken on board. The ladies and children in the boat could no longer be deceived as to the accident. Some distance away was floating the upturned boat, and shortly after the body of Mr. Masters was reached. Jamie Whitten was seen swimming in the direction of the capsized boat nearly exhausted. The boy was taken on board and the boat then made a landing. The boy saved is the only survivor of the occupants of the boat, and he alone can tell how the accident occurred. He said that as the boat approached in shore she was put about, but the centreboard, which had been drawn up while the boat was running before the wind , was not lowered. The wind filled the sail as the boat was turning and she rolled from one side to the other and then turned completely over, plunging those in her into the water. James swam toward the shore. he looked back once and saw his grandfather and Emma Cleveland standing on the boat’s bottom. When only a short distance from shore young Whitten turned and retraced his course, swimming toward the boat. Before he reached there, however, he was picked up by the other boat nearly worn out. Either from the excitement or possibly a desire on the part of Mr. Masters to see if he could aid any of the others, he and Mrs. Cleveland attempted to stand upright on the insecure floating boat and when the first heavy wave washed over the boat they were again thrown into the water, and were drowned before assistance could reach them. When Mr. Cleveland, after landing those person in his boat, looked back, there were three bodies floating upon the surface of the water. Help now arriving, the boadies were brought ashore, that of the old lady, Mrs. Masters being the first to be recovered, and then those of Emma Cleveland and Janie Masters. The ladies made every effort to resuscitate the children, but their efforts were useless. Following is a list of the persons lost, with their ages: Wellington Masters, 71 years Mrs. Jane Masters, 69 years Jane Masters, 9 years Emma Cleveland, 12 years Harry Cleveland, 7 years Maud Whitten, 12 years Benjamin Whitten 7 years Of these the bodies of the first four mentioned were recovered. The bay is being dragged for the bodies of the others. The place where the accident occurred is one of the worst along the coast being exposed to gusts and flaws between the island. Mr. Masters had had experience in the management of keelboats, but not of centreboards. Coroner Gould will hold an inquest tomorrow morning. ------------------ The Times Record Brunswick, Maine · Saturday, August 07, 1886 A Quadruple Funeral The funeral of Wellington Marsters, his wife Mrs. Jane Marsters, their daughter Jane, Emma Cleveland and Benjamin Whitten (whose body was recovered yesterday noon,) five of the seven persons drowned August 4th, by the upsetting of a sail boat off Great Diamond Island, took place from the Congress street M.E. church at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The church was filled with relatives, friends and acquaintances of the deceased. The five caskets, on each of which loving hands had laid floral offerings, made into various designs, appropriate to the age of the silent occupant, were placed side by side in front of the sacred desk - a touching and solemn spectacle. Rev. Ezra Ticker, paster of the church, read select passages of Scripture and offerred an earnest and heartfeld prayer. Feeling remarks were made by Rev. Mr. Crosser and Rev. Mr. Adams. Appropriate hymns were sun by the select choir. The remains were carried out to the five waiting hearses, and the mourning procession moved on to Forest City cemetery where the bodies were buried.

| 3843 | The late Thos. Faulkner. (From Truro Guardian, Dec. 27) The death of Thomas Faulkner of Folly Village occurred very suddenly on the 18th inst. He left his home in his usual health on Thursday the 15th inst., to take a grist to Mr. Gould's mill at Great Village. Whilst waiting for his grist he took dinner with his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gould. After dinner he went out to the mill where he was suddenly seized with paralysis of the brain and died three days after. His remains were brought home and the funeral took place on Tuesday. The church in Folly Village was filled with friends and neighbors drawn together by respect for the dead and sympathy for the bereaved family. Rev. N. McNichol conducted the services, discoursing fittingly from the words "To live is loss and to die is gain." The audience was deeply moved by the solemn words of the preacher. The deceased was a man of sterling character, a citizen that will be greatly missed both in church and state. He was a most correct and upright business man; he commenced life on a small farm, which he tilled well, became a ship-owner to some extent and was very successful. He leaves eight children, six sons and two daughters. Two sons are master mariners, one having charge of the ship "Thomas Faulkner." Another son is a well known business man in Halifax and has the charge of Dunn, Wiman & Co.'s agency there. Two other sons are in Seattle, and one is studying at Pictou Academy. The oldest daughter is the wife of G. Fred Carver, of Windsor, N.S., and the other daughter teaches in the Academy, Sydney, C.B. Mr. Faulkner leaves behind him a fragrant memory, which will be long cherished by all his neighbors and acquaintances. His life, as a business man, friend and neighbour, might be copied with advantage. | FAULKNER, Thomas (I24827)

"Sir Lancelot apparently left no will, but in 1635, George´s cousin, CHRISTOPHER LOWTHER noted in his diary that 'Sir Lancelot was "considering leaving the estate to George´s elder brother, the Reverend Lancelot Lowther of Kirkby Thore" adding that he might change his mind and had, in any case, decided to give George 50 pounds a year `during his (Sir Lancelot´s) life. That Sir Lancelot did change his mind is known, because in a document of 1659, George is described as `late of Screene´ in Ireland, deceased.´´ "Also, this George married Frances Piers first, the daughter of Henry Piers of Tristernagh, County Westmeath, and granddaughter of Archbishop Thomas Jones of Dublin. Henry Piers was an eminent traveler, and wrote an account of his travels in 1595 on the continent. George's estate at Skreen consisted of some 300 acres and included the remains of an ancient abbey as well as the castle (or fortified house) where Sir Lancelot spent his last years. George died at some date before 1659 leaving three sons: Edward, Lancelot, and William; and two daughters who are mentioned without names in Sir Gerard II's will." Regarding the Irish Branch of the Lowthers, in Chapter Eleven of the Lowther Family by Hugh Owen, on page 132 he states: The branch of the Lowther family known as the Irish Branch stems from George the youngest son of William Lowther of Ingleton and youngest grandson of the Elizabethan, Sir Richard Lowther (1532-1608) Members of this branch sat in the Irish House of Commons in Dublin.
