| 4057 | There was a William Corbit mentioned in an article on the lead mining in Marske. Looks like William decided to name his children after Timothy Hutton. as follows: "In 1608 Sir Timothy Hutton granted a lease to William Corbet, Katherine his wife (daughter of Arthur Phillip) and Hutton Corbet, for faithful service "for the seatte and soyle of the laite decayed lead mylne or smelting houses in the territories of Marske laite in the tenure of Richard Willance of Richmond, deceased." | CORBETT, Timothy (I7302)

|
| 4062 | There was an Elizabeth Hutchinson 'of Whaston' in the Kirkby Ravensworth Burial records, July 19, 1752. This is possibly the same person and would explain why there are no records of any children born to Bartholomew Hutchinson. Also Elizabeth's father John Ward had a copper smelting mill at Whashton. Maybe Bartholomew worked there for his father-in-law. | Source (S406)

| 4066 | These Hunters came from County Ayr, Scotland, where they were hunters by occupation-hence the name. Due to religious persecution in Scotland, the Hunters moved to Northern Ireland. David Hunter came to Nova Scotia from Aghadowey, in Londonderry County, Ireland with his wife and six children. Two more children were born in Nova Scotia. David Hunter's wife was Margaret Martin, daughter of Lodowick Martin of Ulster. Their ship was bound for Philadelphia but was wrecked off Sable Island, not far from Nova Scotia. Another vessel 'The Good Ship Blessing' came to the rescue and took the Hunter family and other passengers to Halifax. The Hunter family settled on the Wentworth Road near Windsor (Hants County) and lived there from 1769 until 1785. They then moved to Ardoise Hill, at St. Croix. | HUNTER, David Fleming (I3538)
|
| 4067 | They (Martin & Polly) settled at Goose River (Linden) Cumberland County where he was the first white settler. His Grant dated 1809. They had six sons and three daughters. (Miss Lucy Fowler Logan, sister of Senator Hance J. Logan, who are descendants of Martin Hunter and Polly Berry, has furnished me with the following information of the early Hunters, which I have incorporated in the Berry record. I will here give it in abreviated form. The vessel in which the families of Allison, McCaffay, Hunter, Miller, etc. came to this country sailed from Londonderry, Ireland in 1769 for Philadelphia, on the way the vessel got into trouble at Sable Island, and the passengers were landed at Halifax. Among the passengers were David Hunter and his family from Aphadowny, Ireland, (his grandfather came from Scotland), David Hunter was married in Londonderry, Ireland to Margaret, daughter of Ledewick Martin of Ulster. They settled at Ardoise Hill, near Windsor, N.S. where he took out a grant of 1850 acres in 1785 from King George III. They lived to good old age and were buried in Windsor, N.S. David Hunter and Margaret Martin had six sons and two daughters. | HUNTER, Martin (I2256)

| 4069 | They didn't have children of their own, but on the death of Henry's brother, Jabez, he and Ann took Jabez' twin sons to raise. They were James Caldwell Walker and John West Walker born 29 May 1858. | BOND, Ann Hull (I1502)
|
| 4070 | They must have divorced some time after the birth of their last child because William's obituary says Elizabeth was his first wife and he had two wives after her. | Source (S2102)

| 4081 | This could be an ancestor:: On Dec 15, 1526 in Minskip, a Richard Warde, Labourer, Brother of John Warde was loading oat sheaves onto a cart ('plaustrum') pulled by four oxen and two horses of John Warde, in a field in Minskip. He was standing on the cart, when the front part of the cart broke and the oxen and horses became separated from the cart. Richard fell into Minskip Beck and the oats from the falling cart fell on top of him so that he could not get out of water and he drowned. One scenario could be that the above John Warde is the one who was left a 'tenement in Skelton on Ure' in his grandmother's will. | WARD, Thomas (I9066)
|
| 4082 | This could be my gggrandfather. He may have been the father of my illegitamate g grandmother Mary Berry in 1838, before he married Rebecca Nelson. I have arrived at this through a process of elimination and analying the common DNA matches. I have several matches on Ancestry who share about 60 cM so it would have to be a Marsters who also has Mosher dna to make the cM so high. | MARSTERS, Mark (I23784)

| 4086 | This is a bit squeamish .... but tells us a lot about social life..... On view of the body of a new born female bastard child daughter of Hannah Ward of Bellerby 9 July 1868 .... sign of the Cross Keys.... Jurors Miles Broadley, John Ridley, William Thistlethwaite, James Ridley, John Fawcett, George Bows, Henry Calvert, Francis Walker, William Walton, John Pearson, Benjamin Brockhill, Isaac Spence, John Scott. Witness Elizabeth Ward, Thomas Simpson, Dr Metcalf, Hannah ward Verdict Accidental injury to head at birth, daughter of Hannah Ward singlewoman. this is a newborn child that was buried clandestinely in the church yard at bellerby. From enquiries made it appears that Hannah Ward , single woman, residing in Bellerby is the mother of it. She states that on Thursday evening last she was unexpectedly confined whilst alone in the house and was unable to get any assistance and the child was dead when it was born. it further appears that Dr Metcalf was called in the next day he saw the child and examined the navels tring , it appeared to ahve been broken and the woman Ward said it had broken when the child dropped from her whilst she sat upon a pail thinking that she was going to have a motion. She told the Dr that the child gasped once and then died. He the Dr told them to bury it. There does not appear to have been any attempt to conceal the child but the clandestine burial of it appears to have created the suspicion that there is something wrong, Signed Wlamsley police constable at Leyburn. sworn statement of Elizabeth wife of Thomas Ward of Bellerby, farm labourer. ....

| 4088 | This is a different Pharez Constantine than the one born around the same time in Newport, Nova Scotia. This is determined by the census information.

| 4089 | This is added tentatively until proven otherwise. It is so far only based on the following excerpt (brackets mine): "THE SCOTT FAMILY By Nelson Mason, Grandson of William Addison Scott A family history of the Scotts is contained in two leaves from an old family bible in my mother's possession, herewith reproduced under date of February 12, 1905. The only sister of CHARLES STUART, called the Pretender (Bonnie Prince Charlie), married John Gilmor. Their daughter, Mary Gilmor, married Robert Scott." (of course history books report that Charles did not have any sisters, only one brother Henry, so how reliable this family story is cannot be known. I suppose it's possible there was an illegitimate child who was this 'sister' of Bonnie Prince Charlie) | STUART, Mary (I3152)

| 4092 | this is an assumption that this Elizabeth is a child of James CALDWELL by her birthdate and the proximity of her dwelling to the other Caldwell's of this line when she was married. | CALDWELL, Elizabeth (I1887)

| 4093 | This is determined from her son Richard's marriage record. He states his mother was 73 at death. Some have thought she died in the Halifax Explosion, but that was in Dec. 1917 and her son Richard was married in Oct. 1917 and his mother was already deceased. | MARPLE, Elizabeth (I10787)

| 4099 | This is only a guess that this Christopher Ward was a son of John Ward, Lord of Barton Manor. Only because he died in Barton. John Ward's daughter Winnifred was his only heir, and this makes sense, since Christopher died before John. | WARD, Christopher (I7782)

| 4100 | This is possibly the Cuthbert Ward who built and lived in Newlandside Hall in Stanhope. Excerpt from 'All Around Stanhope': "NEWLANDSIDE HALL. This building is pleasantly situated, and is of modern construction. It was formerly the seat of the Wards, and is said to have been built by one Cuthbert Ward, whose memory is recorded on a limestone altar tomb in the parish churchyard, as follows :- In Memory of Cuthbert Ward, Gentleman, and Elizabeth, his wife, of Newlandside Hall, who departed this life. Elizabeth, July the 12th, 1769, aged 56 years. Cuthbert, December the 9th, 1776, aged 68 years. Cuthbert Ward was in early life a sea captain, and at his death the estate was inherited by his son, Captain Ward. The estate afterwards came into the hands of the Harvey family, of Newcastle, then into the Newlandside Estate Co., and it is now owned by the company above mentioned." Excerpt from The history and antiquities of the county palatine of Durham , etc.,Published 1857 "Newlandside Hall, an ancient estate of the Wards, is the property of the representatives of the Harvey family, timber merchants, of Newcastle." Excerpt from Weardale in Old Photographs: "Apparently there was a rough causeway here as recorded in 1777 when footpads, having robbed Captain Ward of Newlandside and Thomas Robinson of Bushey Flat, fled across the causeway tearing up planks behind them to hinder their pursuers." Excerpt from An Historical, Topographical, and Descriptive View of the County Palatine of Durham: "Newlandside Hall, an ancient estate of the Wards, is the seat of John Rippon, Esq." I found some photos of the ruins of Newlandside Hall online, with this caption: "Many of the farms, particularly in the Stanhope area have suffered from the effects of quarrying. Many have disappeared altogether such as Ely House, Mellenberry, Hollin House and East & West Capplespeth. Two still remaining, Shield Ash and Newlandside Hall are tottering on the edge. Photos 1 & 2 (Courtesy of Judith Bainbridge) show Newlandside in the 1950s the others show it in 2012" Excerpt from Natural History Transactions of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Volume 7: "In descending from Thimbleby Hill (nearly twelve hundred feet), after passing Newlandside Hall, the ancient seat of the Wards, the quarries of Newlandside were inspected, where blasting by means of dynamite was being proceeded with, and which operation was viewed from a safe distance with much interest. Here some lead ore was shown which appeared to be rich in metal. The hill side was then gradually descended, through fields where hay making was in process. The hedgerows were studded with the Woodruif, Asperula odorata, in bloom, its sweet aroma being very grateful. In the bed of the -Wear a remarkable bed of Basalt first described by Sir W. C. Trevelyan was pointed out. After crossing the Wear by the picturesque stone bridge Stanhope Hall was visited." Excerpt from The Antiquities of the Abbey Or Cathedral Church of Durham. Also a Particular Description of the County Palatine of Durham, Compiled from the Best Authorities and Original Manuscripts: "Names of the Castles and Mansion-houses belonging to Nobility and Principal Gentry in this County...
