| 201 | "He appears to have been one of the class called 'roving planets.' He lived in Bedford, Shirley, Stow, Harvard, Mass., Rindge, Jaffrey, N.H., and perhaps other places. Nov. 24, 1788, John Bellows of Walpole, N.H., and John Hubbard of New Ipswich, N.H., sold to Joseph Mead of Shirley, land in Rindge, N.H., with buildings thereon, which they obtained by judgment and execution against Jonathan Parker, Jr., late of Rindge. This land was situationed near the outlet of Pool Pond, West Rindge, and was bounded on the ol road leading from the present railroad crossing between Pool Pond and Contoocook Lake, to the house at present owned by Miss Mary Lee Ware. In 1793 Joseph Meads at Rindge, and Lucy, his wife, sold their Rindge farm, estimated at ninety acres to Jonas Faulkner of Bolton, and then, or soon after, came to Jaffrey." See notes for his son Joseph, with whom he purchased a farm on Mt. Monadnock in 1799. | MEEDS, Joseph (I2472)

| 205 | "He came west in 1856 and bought some land in Minnesota, and then went to Galena, Ill., to look for work. There he met Jacob Spaulding, who had just sold a stock of lumber which he had run down the river from the Falls, taking in part payment therefor a stock of goods. Mr. Jones was employed to take charge of the goods, and was glad to get the job. Little did he suspect, however, that in accepting that job he was destined to become the son-in-law of this employer, but he did. The goods were brought to Black River Falls in charge of Mr. Jones, and he had charge of their sale here. He was the first of the Jones family to come here, and this was how he chanced to come. The date of his arrival was January 2nd, 1857, and he stuck to Black River Falls from that time. He worked for Jacob and D. J. Spaulding in various capacities until the Isaac Spaulding store was established, and he has been with that store, through its successive changes, ever since, having become connected with it in a proprietary way on the 7th of February, 1864, when the firm name became Spaulding & Jones." "After the building of the Spaulding block the store was moved to Water street, to the place where the dry goods department is now conducted, on January 4th, 1868. This has been the home of this enterprising store ever since, barring the interruption of the city's greatest fire -- the one by which this block, the Spaulding block, the first brick block of large pretense to be erected in the city, was burned -- and a distinguished career indeed it has had during that long and eventful period." "On June 12th of the same year everything in the grocery line was sold to D. J. Spaulding, and it became an exclusively dry goods store." "R. C. Jones, having arrived here the spring of that same year, on the 22nd of September he entered into partnership with his brother and Mr. Spaulding, and the firm name was changed to Spaulding, Jones & Brother." "When the Spaulding block burned, on July 11th 1870, the Jones store burned out of course, but their stock was largely saved and the loss was fully covered by insurance. On the 29th of the same month they again opened for business in the present Arne Hagen building on Main street. They joined in the reconstruction of the burned block, however, and moved back into the new store on the 21st of April, 1871." "On the 31st of March, 1874, Isaac Spaulding died, and a few years later the Jones brothers bought out Mr. Spaulding's heirs and the firm name was changed to S. P. & R. C. Jones. The firm did a very large business. They had a branch store at Irving and started a large store and operated a stave factory at Greenwood under the firm name of Jones Brothers & Johnson. This was afterwards incorporated and gradually sold to other parties, except that S. P. Jones retained quite a large interest. Besides these side enterprises they also branced out into the lumber industry and operated quite a large sawmill on Morrison creek, a few miles northeast of this city, and kept lumber yards in South Dakota at four different places for many years. S. P. Jones had especial charge of the lumber yards and other outside business and R. C. of the home store and central office." "On February 10th, 1885, the company was incorporated under the name of the Jones Lumber & Mercantile Company. They have since gone out of the lumber business, closing the last of it out some five or six years ago." "This firm has never for a moment forgotten its place among the leaders in commercial enterprise in the city and county, and for years, single-handed and alone maintained a grain market here, after associates had made a failure of the business and given up trying." "On March 28th, 1902, the company bought the W. C. Jones grocery store, and have since been operating it with wonted vigor and metropolitanism." "R. C. Jones was not only a leading spirit in the enterprise in which he was engaged, but was ever prominent as a figure in public affairs. Like his brother (and all his brothers, for that matter) he was born in Brandon, Vt., the date being November 6th, 1839. He came here and went into the store as above stated and exhibited such a ready grasp of its affairs that the full management of the store was soon placed in his hands, and when the firm incorporated he was made the vice president and general manager, in which position he continued until his death, on February 19th, 1902. He served the city as mayor with conspicuous ability and was twenty-eight years clerk of the school board." "Twenty-one years ago the Jones company was in need of a bookkeeper, and John York of Ontario, Canada, was recommended to them, and upon summons John H. York came. He did not prove to be the John York recommended, but his services were needed and he was put at work. He was the wrong York at the time, but proved to be the right man just the same. He proved his capacity and was continued in the position. He took stock in the company and at the next annual meeting was made secretary, in which position he has continued since. He is now 40 years of age. Besides becoming a member of the company he also became a member of the Jones family, through the attractiveness of Miss Anna Jones." "Dudley W. Jones and F. M. Taylor are also stockholders in the company to a considerable extent, and are prominent in the management. Mr. Taylor is another who became a member of the family while in the service of the company, his wife being Miss Minnie Jones. He afterwards went to Greenwood to look after the company's business there, and was successul, becoming one of the proprietors. He sold out there and put his capital in here about the time that the W. C. Jones grocery store was purchased." "D. W. Jones who was successfully operating a store at Millston, also sold out there and returned her about that time." "Mrs. R. C. Jones is the only stockholder besides those directly in the management." "The only officers of the company at the present time are S. P. Jones president and J. H. York, secretary, no successor to R. C. Jones as vice president ever having been elected."

While here he appears to have been engaged in the business of the town, drafting deeds, bonds, &c. "We have not the date of his taking the freeman's oath. This oath was first printed at Cambridge, Mass., in 1639. Before a person could exercise the right of suffrage, or hold public office, he must be made freeman by the general or quarterly court. He must be a member of some Congregational Church. Afterwards modified in 1664 (Oath in New Eng. His). He removed to Concord, Mass., in 1660, and our ancestors remained there until about 1790. He continued the practice of the law, except at one time he was prohibited from practicing, except his own cases, for not attending church, and speaking slightingly of one of the ministers. He took great interest in the welfare of the Indians, and built a house on his place for the Christian Indians. They at the time of King Philip's war were under his care by order of the general court. "Capt. Samuel Mosely with 103 men took these Christian Indians (the Nashobahs) away from Mr. Hoare's place, insulted Mr. Hoare and plundered the poor, helpless Indians of all they had, and sent them, 58 in number, (12 only able-bodied men) to Boston under guard of some 20 rough and brutal soldiers. Afterwards they were sent to Deer Island. The captain went on his way unrebuked, although the whole court were indignant. "Feb. 10, 1676, Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and child, both wounded, wife of the minister at Lancester, Mass., were taken prisoners at that place. Efforts were made to secure her release, but without success, until Mr. Hoare by the desire of her husband made the attempt. Under date of April 28, 1676, he left Lancester with two guides, Nepphonet and Peter Tatatiquinea and met the hostile Indians at Wachusett Lake (now in Princeton, Mass.) May 2, 1676. He took £20 and some goods and secured her release, although King Philip refused his consent. They returned to Lancester and she went to Boston May 7th. It is said no other person in the colony could have secured her release." SOURCE: Alfred Hoar Family ========================= "John Hoar, son of Charles Hoar, was born in England. He was a lawyer, distinguished for his courage and independence. He lived at Scituate, Massachusetts, from 1643 to 1655. and settled about 1660 at Concord, Massachusetts, where his descendants have been prominent to the present time. Senator George F. Hoar and Judge E. Rockwood Hoar were decended through John Hoar's son Daniel (III), Daniel (IV), John (V), Samuel (VI), Samuel (VII). John Hoar represented the colonial authorities in securing by ransom the release of Mrs. Rowlandson from the Indians. He married Alice Lisle, sister of Bridget Lisle, who married Leonard Hoar, his brother. She was a daughter of John Lord Lisle, president of the high court of justice, lord commissioner of the great seal, who drew the indictment and sentence of King Charles I. and was murdered at Lausanne. August 11, 1664, and of his wife, Lady Alicia Lisle, who was beheaded by the brutal judgment of Jeffries in 1685. Lady Alicia was nearly akin by marriage to Lord William Russell. The story of her arrest on a charge of treason for sheltering rebels, her condemnation to be burned alive and her execution by beheading, with all the cruel, ghastly details, forms a disgraceful page in English history.

He resided in Scituate, Massachusetts, from 1643 to 1655. It was about 1660 when he settled in Concord and died April 2, 1704. His wife Alice died June 5, 1697. Their children included Elizabeth, who in December, 1675, married Jonathan Prescott; Mary, married Benjamin Graves, October 21, 1668; and Daniel, who married (first) Mary Stratton, (second) Mary Lee. The Hoar family were among the early bay colonists and some true conception of their character may be had by referring to a matter of New England history, wherein it is recorded that after the Indian massacre at Lancaster at the time of King Philip's war, John Hoar, at the request of the colonial authorities, followed the Indian band far into the wilderness, and after great hardship and the exercise of great ingenuity, recovered by ransom Mrs. Rowlandson, a lady captive from Lancaster. Her account of her ransom is published. The rock where she was redeemed is situated in (???), close by the base of Wachusett Mountain, and has been marked by the senator with a suitable inscription."

| 239 | "In the early 1680s, Christopher's brother John moved to Boston. In 1688 four of his children were "bewitched" by Mary Glover, their Irish washerwoman. Several ministers, including Charles Morton, intervened as the horrifying torments increased. Both Cotton Mather and his father left vivid accounts of the supernatural violence suffered by the children, especially the eldest, thirteen-year-old Martha. Even when the "witch" was executed on 16 November 1688, the fits continued. The Goodwin family must have felt haunted." From Wikipedia: In his book Memorable Providences Relating to Witchcrafts and Possessions (1689) [Mather, Cotton. Memorable Providence, Relating to Witcraft and Possessions. law.umkc.edu], Mather describes his "oracular observations" and how "stupendous witchcraft" had affected the children of Boston mason John Goodwin. Mather illustrates how the Goodwins' eldest child had been tempted by the devil and stole linen from the washerwoman Mary Glover. Glover was a miserable old woman whom her husband often described as a witch; this is perhaps why Glover was accused of casting spells on the Goodwin children. After the event, four out of six Goodwin children began to experience strange fits or what some people referred to as "the disease of astonishment". The manifestations attributed to the disease quickly became associated with witchcraft. These symptoms were things like neck and back pains, tongues being drawn from their throats, and loud random outcries; other symptoms included having no control over their bodies such as becoming limber, flapping their arms like birds, or trying to harm others as well as themselves. These symptoms would fuel the craze of 1692. | GOODWIN, John (I5207)

| 243 | "Jacques Hennot (James Eno) was the son of Jean Hennot and Catelaine Joné. When James immigrated to America in 1648, he anglocized the spelling of his name to James Eno since the h and t are silent in French. The name has been spelled Henne, Hennot, Henno over the yeras and in America, Enno and after 1700 Eno. Jacques Hennot (James Eno), the immigrant to the New World, was baptized 21 Aug 1625 in the Threadneedle Street Church of London, England. This was the church for French Protestants or Huguenots. James Eno came to American in 16648 at the age of 23 and settled in Windsor, CT. In 1648 he bought the home of the widow Mary Collins on Silver Street in Windsor, CT. This house was occupied by direct Eno descendants for over 200 yers. Samuel Eno lived there in 1896. On 18 Aug 1848, James Eno married the widow Anna Bidwell. They were both 23. She had 2 children from her previous marriage, a child of 4 years named Anna Bidwell and another child whose name is not known. However within the first four months of the marriage disaster struck and the two Bidwell stepchildren died. James and Anna subsequently had 3 chldren of their own: Sarah in 1649, James in 1651 and John in 1654. James Eno was a man of many talents. He held a variety of public offices; Constable (1652/53), Juryman (1657), Way Warden (1658/1659) and Estate Appraiser. He owned lands in both Windsor and Simsbury. In 1666, acting as an agent for the twon of Windsor, James bought a tract of land 28,000 acres from Nassahegan, sachem of the Poquonnoc Indians. For this service, James was given land by the city. In the book History of Ancient Windsor, Ct 1635-1891 by Henry STiles it is noted that two Eno family heritage artifacts have been passed down from ancestors. The first is the Eno Baptismal Gown, with matching cap and mitts. It is made of heavy cotton and covered in silk sewed into stripes of dull green, bright blue and red. It was very colorful. It measures 3'4" x 2'8" with sleeves 8" and was in the possession of Mrs. Henry Jackson, a granddaughter of Eliphalet Eno of Torrington, CT in 1891. The other ancestral treasure is an ancient sword said to have been brought from England which was handed down for several generations in the line of the eldest son. In 191, this sword was in the possession of John Eno of Brewsters, NY. On 7 Oct 1657 James' wife Anna died, leaving James with three children ages 3-8 after a marriage of 9 yeras. The next year, on 5 August 1658, James married the widow Elizabeth Holcomb who had lost her husband Thomas Holcomb in Oct 1657. Thomas Holcomb had been a member of the Connecticut Constitutional Convention in 1639. Elizabeth Holcomb was about 8 yers older than James and she brought 5 stepchildren to the marriage ages 8-18 years. Three of her older children, Elizabeth, Mary and Abigail were already married and two children had died in infancy. From the Probate Court records, it is documented that Thomas Holdcomb left an estate of L24. The widow Elizabeth and oldest son Joshua each received L42 and the remaining children each received L28 from the estate to be held in trust until they became of age. There was a triple intermarriage between the Eno and the Holcomb families. James Eno Senior married Elizabeth Holcomb; their children Sarah Eno and Benajah Holcomb were married; and James Eno Junior married AbigailHolcombs daughter Abigail Bissell. So James Eno Senior, Sarah Eno and James Eno Junior married respectively Elizabeth Holcomb, Benajah Holcomb and granddaughter Abigail Bissell. James Eno was a member of the Episcopal Church in England. When he came to Connecticu;t, he attended the Puritan Congregational First Church in Windsor which had been founded by the Puritans 30 years before. In 1664, he questioned the Puritan church rules and wrote a petition to the Governor along with 6 others which questioned the payment of ministers tax along with some of the church restrictions regarding communion and baptism. They presented a petition to the court, asking for church privileges and baptism for their children if they were current on their church tax. This original petition is still preserved in the State Library at Hartford, CT. The matter went to the Connecticut General Court. The Court ruled that the matter was up to the Church and the issues were not ruled upon. The Governor of Connecticut later noted that Michael Hemphrey came to Windsor in 1643 and James Eno came in 1646 so were newcomers among the Puritans, and if they liked the Episcopal Church and not willing to follow the strict Puritan church rules then they should have stayed in England. (History of Ancient Windsor, CT, 1635-1891, by Henry Stiles). James continued to be active in the First Church of Windsor affairs. In 1669, Benjamin Woodbridge became minister of the church. In 1673, James was among 36 people who petitioned the Governor to recall the minister for relief from 'te spirite of bitterness boyling in the breste of those in this old congregation heare in Windsore.' After a 20 year marriage, Elizabeth Holcomb Eno died on 7 bOct 1679. All the Eno and Holcomb stepchildren were in their 30's or 40's by then. The next year, in 1680, James Eno married for the third time at the age of 55. He married the widow Hester Eggleston who had 8 children ranging in age from 3-20 years. Both James and Hester had lost their spouses the previous year. In the CT Probabe Court records it is noted that the Egglesto estate was valued at L275. Hester was given L35, the oldest son L45, and the other 7 children received L21 to be put in the trust and paid when each became of age. James Eno died in 1682. He left an estate valued over 300 British pounds which was wealthy by the s tandard of the day. James Eno had 3 children of his own, but he had been 'Father Eno' to an additional 16 stepchildren. After his death, the widow Hester Eno and the oldest son James were Estate Administrators of his estate. Hester received L20, and the remainder of the estate was divided by agreement of the heirs without involvement of the Probate Court. Hester subsequently married a John Williams. James Eno is buried in the First Church of Windsor cemetery in a family crypt next to his son James Eno." From Find a Grave: Birth: London Greater London, England Death: Windsor Hartford County Connecticut, USA The primary source for the genealogy of the Eno family is the 1973 typed manuscript "The Eno and Enos Family in America," by Douglas C. Richardson, an Eno descendant. During the mid to later stages of the 20th century Richardson was a frequent contributor to the NEHG Society's REGISTER and other genealogy publications. Jacques Hennot was bapt. of record on Aug. 21, 1625 at the Threadneedle Street French Huguenot Church at London, England, s. of Jean Hennot and his wife Catelaine (Catherine) Jone. Jacques came to America by 1648 and became James Eno, the immigrant ancestor of the Eno family of Windsor, Conn. On Aug. 18, 1648 at Windsor, Conn., James Eno m. 1) Anna, the widow of Richard Bidwell, latter who d. intestate and was buried at Windsor on Dec. 25, 1647. Anna's maiden name remains unknown including the date and place of her birth. Anna m. Richard Bidwell by early 1644 as one known child was born of record at Windsor, dau. Hannah, on Oct. 3, 1644. However, the child d. young. Anna d. of record at Windsor on Oct. 7, 1657, but no individual gravestone is known and her age at death is not of record. On Aug. 5, 1658 at Windsor, James Eno m. 2) Elizabeth, the widow of Thomas Holcomb q.v., Holcombe, whose maiden name, date and place of birth also remain unknown. She had ten children by her prior husband, who d. intestate at Windsor on Sept. 7, 1657. There were no children by James Eno and Elizabeth's marriage. Elizabeth d. of record at Windsor on Oct. 7, 1679, but no individual gravestone is known and her age at death is not of record. John Winthrop, Jr., s. of Gov. John Winthrop of the Mass. Bay Colony, who in addition to being Gov. of Conn. (1657, 1659-1676) was also a physican. His medical diary states he attended to James Eno's wife Elizabeth at Windsor in 1669, noting that she was then "aged" 52, or 51 years old b. circa 1618. On Apr. 29, 1680 at Windsor, James Eno m. 3) Esther Kelsey, the widow of James Eggleston and dau. of William Kelsey of Windsor, b. circa 1636 at Hartford, Conn. She had nine children by her first husband, who d. intestate at Windsor on Dec. 1, 1679. There were no children of James Eno and Esther Kelsey's marriage. Esther survived James and m. 3) on June 10, 1686 at Windsor, John Williams. She d. testate at Windsor on July 10, 1720 mentioning in her will her former husband James Eno and property that she had received from his estate. According to the land records of Windsor, Conn., James Eno was a barber, but not knowingly a barber-surgeon. In 1664 he signed a petition requesting permission to establish the first Anglican (Episcopal) church society in Conn., but the petition was rejected by the Conn. Court. This did not indicate that James favored the Episcopal Church particularly since he was baptized as a French Protestant. Rather, it was in opposition to the rights and rituals of baptism following the Congregational church's establishment of the "half-way" covenant, which prevented, for reasons too lengthy to summarize here, the children of his own children from being baptized and the children's parents from becoming communion members of the church at Windsor. James Eno had only three known children, all by first wife Anna. However, at his death he had at least 10 living step-children by his 2nd and 3rd wives. James Eno's brief estate record, abstracted by Manwaring in his "Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records," vol. I, p. 301, citing Hartford Probate vol. IV, pages 94-5, follows: ...James Ennoe, Sen. of Windsor. Inventory of £278-06-01 taken June 19, 1682 by Daniel Clarke sen., John Wolcott and Thomas Bissell sen. ...Court Record, Page 56--July 19, 1682: Inventory exhibited by the Widow.

Clarke informs this Court that the Children of James Ennoe have an Agreement to settle the Estate of their Father. This Court appoint Lt. John Maudsley, Return Strong and John Moore as Distributors, and to Lay out to the widow Ennoe her jointure of £20. There is no individual gravestone for James Eno. He is memorialized in the large table-top memorial at the Palisado Cemetery at Windsor, Conn. for his grandson Capt. Samuel Eno, Esqr. and wife Eunice Marshall. However, the date of James' death thereon is mistated as July 11th when it is recorded in the Windsor town record as June 11th, 1682; his estate inventory was taken of record on June 19, 1682, eight days after his death. The children of James Eno and first wife Anna, all of record at Windsor, Conn., are: • i. Sarah Eno, b. June 15 (bapt. June 17), 1649, d. at Windsor in Apr 1732; m.
