Paris is next to the oldest township in the county. As long ago as the year 1833, Barney Burton, Edward Guild, Joel Guild, Daniel Guild, and James Vanderpool located within its present limits. Benjamin Clark and Abram Laraway settled in the year 1835; Jacob Patterson, Miner Patterson, James Patterson, Orleans Spaulding and Philanzo Bowen, in the year 1836; Nicholas Carlton in the year 1837; Hiram H. Allen in the year 1838. Among the other early settlers were De Witt Shoemaker, Clinton Shoemaker, Robert Shoemaker, Alvin W. Wansey, Jared Wansey, James Ballard, Stephen Hinsdill, Abram Laraway and Robert Barr. We would here also make special mention of "Captain Davis" as he was familiarly called, who was the father of Ezekiel W. Davis, commonly known as "Judge." He settled in the township in the year 1834, and remained a resident up to the time of his death, which occurred some twenty-five years ago.
At one time in the winter of 1835 and 1836, the cries of what was supposed to be a man were heard in the vicinity of Mr. Burton's residence. He answered, horns were blowed, and other noises were made to attract his attention, with no result. About the same time a grey horse came to the residence of Abram Laraway, not many miles away, which none of the settlers claimed. Early in the spring a saddle was found by Robert Barr in the woods not far away. Still later the body of a man was found on what is now called the Penny property, in the Third Ward of the City. Its appearance indicated that death had taken place some months previously. A few dollars in money, a watch, and some papers were found on his person, the latter indicating the name of the man to have been Moore. Nothing further was ever ascertained in regard in the matter. He probably lost his way in the pathless woods, wandered about for several days, perhaps lost his horse, and finally starved to death; or, overcome with weariness and down to rest, and perished by the excessive cold.

Abram Laraway and Benjamin Clark settled in the town of Paris in 1835, having previously made a temporary settlement at Grand Rapids. Samuel Gross made an actual settlement in the township of Plainfield in 1835. He brought his family with him.

William, husbandman, and Esther Ballard, of Lynn came to America on the ship "JAMES" in 1635.
!A JENKS GENEALOGY; Helen Clark Jenks Cleary
"JAMES" of Bristol, sailed June 4, 1635, arrived August 17, having 100 passengers, honest people of Yorkshire, being put into the Isle of Shoals, lost three anchors; and setting sail, no canvas nor ropes would hold, but she was driven within a cable's length of the rocks at Pascataquack, when suddenly the wind, coming to the N.W., put then back to the Isle of Shoals, and being there ready to strike upon the rocks, they let out a piece of their mainsail, and weathered the rocks. Only 21 passengers were named.
!Planters Of The Commonwealth, 1930 by Charles E. Banks
The BALLARDS sailed from Bristol, on the "James", as did the "Angel Gabriel". Both ships were anchored near the main coast on 15 August, when they were hit by a terrible storm. The "James" barely escaped being driven onto the rocks on the Isle of Shoals but the "Angel Gabriel" was not so fortunate and it broke up on the rocks of the island. The following is excerpts from the journal of the Rev. Richard MATHER on the ship "JAMES" in 1635:
June 22 - Five ships sailed from Bristol, three bound for Newfoundland; the 150 ton "Diligence", the 80 ton "Mary" and the "Bess" (or Elizabeth) and two bound for New England; the 240 ton "Angel Gabriel" and the 220 ton "James".
June 23 - In the evening they lost sight of the three ships bound for Newfoundland, but the master of the "James" thought it best to stay with the "Angel Gabriel" bound for New England, rather than leave her and go to the ships bound for Newfoundland. The "Angel Gabriel" was a strong ship, well armed with fourteen or sixteen cannons, and the crew desired her company. However, she was slow and sometimes the "James" went with three sails less than she could have used.
June 29 - In the afternoon captain Taylor went aboard the "Angel Gabriel" and he took Matthew Mitchell and Rev. Richard Mather with him. They found much sickness aboard and two cases of small pox, but the latter were recovered. They had supper with the ship's master and had good cheese, boiled mutton, roasted turkey and good sack.
July 14 - The sea was rough, many were seasick and no one could go up on deck because of the tossing and tumbling of the ship. They lost sight of the "Angel Gabriel" sailing slowly behind them and they never saw her again.
August 14 - At ten o'clock at night they dropped anchor at the Isle of Shoales and there "slept sweetly the night until daybreak."
August 15 - They were hit by a terrible storm, with rain and easterly wind. In the morning they lost three great anchors and cables. The third cable was cut to save the ship. "We had no outward means of deliverance but by loosing sail, if so be we might get to the sea from amongst the islands and rocks where we anchored." Their sails were split in pieces as if they were rags. At one point they thought they would be blown onto the rocks and thought only God could save them. Suddenly a new fresh gale appeared and they continued southwest by west toward Cape Anne. "When news was brought to us in the gun room that the danger was past, oh how our hearts did then relent and melt within us! And how we burst into tears of joy amongst ourselves, in love onto our gracious God, and admiration of his kindness in granting to his poor servants such an extraordinary and miraculous deliverance. His holy name be blessed forever."
August 16 - "This day we went directly before the wind, and had delight all along the coast as we went, in viewing Cape Ann, the bay of Saugust, the bay of Salem, Marblehead and other places and came to anchor at low tide at Nantasket, in a most pleasant harbor, like to such I had never seen, amongst a great many lands on every side. After the evening exercise, when it was flowing tide again, we set sail and came the night to anchor again before Boston and so rested that night with glad and thankful hearts that God had put an end to our long journey, being 1,000 leagues, that is 3,000 English miles, over one of the greatest seas of the world. First of all it was very safe and healthful to us, for we were in a ship with 100 passengers, besides 23 seamen, 23 cows and heifers, 3 suckling calves and 8 mares, yet not one of these died by the way, neither person nor cattell, but came all alive to land, and many of the cattell in better condition than when they first entered the ship. We had a comfortable variety of food, seeing we were not tied to the ship's diet, but did victual ourselves, we had no want of good and wholesome beer and bread, and as our land stomachs grew weary of ship diet of salt fish and salt beef and the like, we had liberty to change for other food which might sort better with our health and stomachs and therefore sometimes we used bacon and buttered peas, sometimes buttered bag-pudding made curraynes and raisins, and sometimes drink pottage of beer and oatmeal and sometimes water pottage well buttered." When they reached land they learned that the last storm they survived uprooted many trees on shore and a bark sailing from the bay to Marblehead was cast away. Of the 23 aboard all were lost except a man and his wife who were spared to report the news. The "Angel Gabriel", at anchor at Pemmaquid, was burst in pieces and cast away in the storm. Most of the cattell and other good perished and one seaman and 3 or 4 passengers perished. "But the 'James' and we that were therein, with our cattell and goods, were all preserved alive. The Lord's name be blessed forever." The actual crossing took six weeks and five days. They were aboard the ship a total of 12 weeks and 2 days, for they lay anchor and manuevered around England many weeks before setting across the ocean.

Passenger List, ship Fortune, 1621
The ship Fortune arrived at Plymouth on November 9, 1621, just a few weeks after the First Thanksgiving. This passenger list is based on the 1623 Division of Land, the passenger list compiled by Charles Edward Banks in Planters of the Commonwealth, by material published occasionally by Robert S. Wakefield in the Mayflower Quarterly, and by the information found in Eugene Aubrey Stratton's Plymouth Colony: Its History and Its People, 1620-1691. The author is descended from Fortune passengers John Adams, William Bassett, and Moses Simmons.

Lieutenant in the Connecticut line
Peleg Heath, wife Annar (W24428), Rhode Island Line.
Soldier was son of Peleg Heath, Sr. and lived at Barrington, RI when son enlisted. Soldier married Annar or Anner (---) 18 Apr 1769 at Barrington, RI & soldier died there in 1786 and his widow applied there 24 Aug 1836 aged 91. Soldier and wife had 5 sons and 1 daughter. A son Peleg was born 31 Mar 1771 at Barrington and in 1836 he lived at Killingly, Conn. Another son Joseph was living in 1836. One Joshua Bicknall of Barrington, Rhode Island stated that all but 1 of the soldiers children were born before the Revolutionary War and he stated his father married the soldier's mother (neither named).
Spencer & Sullivan Expedition. Peleg was a Major.
The demoralizing effect of recurrent Indian raids on the settler in western New York and the valley of the Susquehanna led to vigorous retaliatory measures in the summer of 1779. Acting under orders of Congress, Washington directed Daniel Brodhead to march from Fort Pitt up the Allegheny River, while a larger expedition under Sullivan ascended the Susquehanna and Wyoming valleys. Their instructions were to destroy all Indian villages and crops belonging to the Six Nations, to engage the Indian and Tory marauders under Brandt and Butler whenever possible, and to drive them so far west that future raids would be impossible. These operations consumed three months, during which the main army remained for the most part inactive near the Hudson above New York, waiting for Clinton to make the next move. In the South Lincoln, with the support of D'Estaing's fleet, laid siege to Savannah, but failed to rout the British from the city.

Obtained Jan. 25, 1662, a patent for 24 morgens in Flh, which he sold Mar. 22, 1674, to Jan Cornelise Boomgaert. His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent of Flh of 1685, of which town he was a mag. in 1656 and '73, and where he took the oath of allegiance in 1687. From a map on file in the off. of the Sec. of State at Albany, made by "Ja. Cortelyan, sworn surveyor," filed Aug. 8, 1681, of 6 farms in Flh, it appears that "Pieter Lott" owned a farm on the W. side of the "highway to the ferry" S. of Do.

Philip Hunton; the ancestor of all of that name in New England, came to this country when a boy. Traditions in regard to the place from which he came vary. One is, that upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, a family bearing the name of Hunton fled from France and sought refuge in the island of Jersey, whence Philip came to America. Another tradition, of less authenticity, is, that he was the younger son of an English gentleman, and feeling deeply wronged at the manner in which his father’s property was divided, resolved to seek his fortune in America.
Upon his arrival in this country, he was employed by a man at Exeter, N. H., named Hall. With the daughter of this man he fell in love, and subsequently married her. The first mention we find of Philip is his name attached to "The humble Addresse of the inhabitants and train solders of ye Province of New Hampshire (Feb 20,1689.) to the Honab1e the Governour and Council of their Majts Colony of the Matthathusets in New England," setting forth that they were destitute of power sufficient to put themselves in a capacity of defence against the common enemy, and praying that protection may be afforded them as formerly.
On Feb. 21, 1697, the town of Exeter granted to "phillip huntune thirty acres of land joining to a piece of swamp, had formerly." Another grant is found on March 6, 1699. On June 12, 1702, Philip deeded a portion of this land. Philip left Exeter about 1703, and settled in Kingston, N.H. where in 1707 he, with others, deserted the town on account of danger from the Indians. The other inhabitants being much weakened thereby, it was ordered: "That Mr. Secretary Story write to the Captains of Exeter and Hampton, that they forthwith direct the persons aforesaid to return to their former habitations in Kingstown for the strengthening of the place against the common enemy, and in case they shall refuse so to do, the said captains are hereby ordered that when they send soldiers to her majesty’s fort, William and Mary, that the above persons be the first that shall be sent there." They undoubtedly refused to return, and subsequent events proved that Philip, at least, had some cause for his fear; however, it was ordered "that Mr. Justice Dudley send for the said persons, and if they do not return to their settlements in Kingstown, that he bind them over the next quarter sessions and answer their contempt."
In 1708, Philip was again at home in Kingston, for he deeds the land he bought of Lieutenant John Foulsam on the north division of" Pickpocket Path."
On the morning of July 22, 1710, while Philip and his eldest son Samuel were ploughing in the field, not far from his house, they were surrounded by a band of Indians who fired upon them. Samuel fell mortally wounded. Philip and a neighbor named Jacob Gilman were taken prisoners, and suffered terrible indignities and cruelties from their inhuman captors. They were not only obliged to "run the gauntlet," but were tormented by many ingenious cruelties; the Indians would split their toe-nails and then pull them out with their teeth. Finally, after long marches, with food scarcely sufficient to sustain their exhausted natures, their feet bruised and bleeding, they arrived in Canada, and were sold as prisoners of war to the French. They were informed if they would build a saw-mill for the government and teach the French to saw lumber after the English method, they should have their freedom. They joyfully accepted such easy terms, erected the mill, instructed the French, and regained their freedom, although it is said the French never could make the mill run. This mill is said to have been the first for sawing lumber ever erected - in Canada. Tradition says that Philip remained in Canada about two years before he again saw his home.
In 1719, Phillop Hunton, Senior, in consideration of good will and affection gives to his son John Huntoon, "bachaler, one-half of the land which belongs to the dwelling-house in which he lives, and the new frame of a house about four rods from the old one; " he further gives him all his share of "Trickling Falls" mill-pond, and his part and privilege of "Little River Mill," and John agrees to give his father four thousand of boards a year during his life. To his son Philip he gives, in 1729, "one-half of all my estate, and the other after my own and my wife’s death; also fifty acres in the two hundred acre grant be longing to the original right of Philip Hunton Senior," and to his daughter Sarah, who married Darby Kelly, fifty acres.
The records say he married Betsey Hall of Exeter; she must have died before he removed to Kingston, for the Kingston records show, Sarah born in 1703 as the daughter of Philip by Hannah; again, "Hannah" relinquished dower in 1702. The name of Hannah heads the list of communicants "at the first gathering of the church at Kingston at the fast before the ordination of Mr. Ward Clark, Sept. 17, 1725." That she was a woman of deep religious nature would appear from the tradition that she called back from the field her two boys to say their morning hymn and Catechism on that eventful day when her husband was carried into captivity, and from the fact that her pastor says of her, "Died, Dec. 22, 1741, Hannah, wife of Philip Hunton, in a very composed and comfortable manner, after a long life of piety and virtue." Of his eldest Son, Samuel, Belknap, in his "History of New Hampshire" says: "The same day that Colonel Hilton was killed, a company of Indians, who had pretended friendship, who the year before had been peace ably conversant with the inhabitants of Kingston, and seemed to be thirsty after the blood of the enemy, came into the town, and, ambushing the road, killed Samuel Winslow and Samuel Huntoon." This occurred on Kingston Plain, not far from Philip’s home. Samuel was scalped and left by the Indians for dead; he, however, survived in great agony for twenty-four hours, when he died. The father, as has been stated, was taken prisoner. The two younger sons, Philip and John, were saved from capture, possibly death, by a singular and almost miraculous providence. They started to follow their father and brother into the ploughing field, but were recalled by their mother to repeat to her, as was their custom, their morning prayer and hymn. They returned, as directed, and this incident probably saved their lives. | Huntoon, Philip (I40966)
