Elisha Farnham, born in Hampton, Connecticut, is also listed as one of the early settlers of Fenner. Information takes from 1784 History of Chenango & Madison Counties, NY by James H Smith; pub. 1880.

Newspaper Mention	18 April 1924	The 18 April 1924 edition of the Jefferson County Union, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson County, Wisconsin, reported that Mrs. Betsey Ives Roberts had been born 128 years before. Perhaps it was some sort of history or commemoration event. The text stated : "Mrs. Betsey Ives Roberts, above, grandmother of Earl, Dean, and Ives Roberts, was born near Fenner, Madison County, N.Y. 128 years ago on July 16, 1795. She came to Fort Atkinson 85 years ago, in 1839, and late that summer the first M.E. church in this community was started at her house west of town. Services were preached by Rev. Frink, a circuit rider, who lived near Aztalan. The picture was furnished by her daughter, Mrs. Matilda Winslow, this city."
Research Note	26 June 2001	26 June 2001 Thread from Genealogy.com forum, in the Ives Surname forum. John Cape responded on a Genealogy.com thread entitled "Amasa IVES Rev War D Chaut.>HUNT", 26 Jun 2001: Ken, I believe we gave a copy of the following to Joe Garcia, but don't recall sending it to you or posting it.We are fairly comfortable with the information and believe that all of this Amasa's children were by his first wife Bethiah. Mrs. Cape is a descendent of Jesse Roberts and Betsey Ives and has a lot of information on the Roberts family that we could provide if you are interested in filling in that line.(She has the original deed that created the Roberts family burying ground in Madison Co. NY) John Cape PRELIMINARY REPORT on A SEARCH FOR THE WIVES OF AMASA IVES (Amasa(5) b.11/10/1747 per Wallingford CT. Vital Records V.13 P.543) (Son of Stephen Ives and Sarah Hart) SUMMARY        The record is unclear on the wives of this Amasa (5). Our trip through the vital records and land records in NY. VT.MA. and CT. during April 1999 provides some information and may lead to further investigation.        We are now sure that this Amasa’s wife was Bethiah as of March 24, 1794, and his wife was Mary as of March 19, 1816. Also that his children,2 boys and 8 girls, were children of Bethiah. SCOPE OF THE SEARCH        The search started in the land records in Mayville, County seat of Chautauqua County NY and included the library at Jamestown plus a trip to the Myrtle cemetery in Poland township where Amasa (5) is buried.Additional search was made in Madison County land records at Wampsville and the library in Canastota, plus a trip to the Roberts family burying ground on Milestrip Road in Fenner township.        At Pittsfield MA,county seat of Berkshire County the land records were reviewed and extensive research was done at the library, which has the best local genealogical reference collection we found. In northern Berkshire county, the land records located in the town of Adams, and the Adams and North Adams vital records in the town clerk’s office in North Adams were reviewed.Some local historical information was found at the library in North Adams. A side trip to check the land records at Bennington VT was unproductive. (The VT Ives families were located further north in the Tinmouth area.)        In Bristol CT, the Clock and Watch Museum has an extensive collection of Ives clocks and some by Gideon Roberts.The library in Bristol has a reference collection with some original documents and records of prior research, primarily concerning clock manufacturing by the Ives and Roberts families. Land records were reviewed in Bristol, Wallingford and Farmington. Vital records were also reviewed to some extent. They are not accessible directly unless you have a “Genealogist Card”,although a few individual inquiries will be responded to. However, that is not a bar to access to the older records for two reasons. The Birth,Deathand Marriage records in CT prior to sometime in the 19th century were kept on blocks of pages interspersed at intervals in the land records. They can be usually be found by checking the Grantor/Grantee indexes under “Births”, etc.. However the best source of CT vital records for the era is the Barbour Collection at the State Library in Hartford. It is a compilation of the local vital records entries and is cross referenced with an extensive card index. (A cross check of Barbour entries versus local entries at Wallingford indicates that all of the information available at the local level is also included in the Barbour database. ) The reference section in the State Library in Hartford contains an outstanding collection of genealogical resources, including a card index of newspaper, church, family-bible and probate records. There is also a very large collection of family history and historical books and records.        The final stop was at Forty Fort PA and the monument that memorializes the Wyoming Massacre of July 3, 1778. Elias Roberts died there and his son Amasa was one of the survivors. (Family historical information indicates that the “James Roberts” listed on the monument as a survivor is really Amasa Roberts, whose son Jesse married Betsey Ives at Madison Co. NY on 8 January, 1815.??) SPECIFIC FINDINGS        The Barbour Collection and the vital records in Wallingford show that there were three Amasa’s born to the Ives families in Wallingford in 1740 to 1750:        Amasa Ives, s. Jotham & Abigail,b. 2/7/1742?43Wall.VRv. 9,p. 554        Amasa Ives, s. Stephen & Sarah,b.11/10/1747Wall. VR v. 13.p. 543        Amasa Ives, s. Gideon and Eunice,b. 4/15/1748Wall.

VRv. 19,p. 215        ( Is he Jr. because he is the youngest of the two Amasa’s born in 47/48???)        Amasa Ives m.Rebeccah Ward12/13/1782Wall.VRv. 1,p.61 As will be indicated below, we also need to followAmasa (5)’s brother Stephen Ives.The records show:        Stephen Ives, s. of Stephen and Sarah,b.1/20/1739Wall. VRv. 13,p. 543 and:        Stephen Ives Jr.m. Susannah Parker Nov. 20, 1766Wall.VRv. 17p. 196 Following Amasa (5) and brother Stephen, we find in the“Colonial Records and Proprietary Plans of Berkshire Northern District Registry of Deeds” (This is a copy of an early set of records that precedes the regular Berkshire County Land records and is located with them in the Clerks Office at Pittsfield MA.),the following entry on page 77: ADAMS EAST HOOSUCK ...

It is a deed from William Towner, Stephen Ives and Amasa Ives to Elisha Brown & Jeremiah Colegrove. It is signed:                                                  Wm Towner*Seal                                                  Stephen Ives* Seal                                                  Amasa Ives*Seal                                                  Mary Ives                                                  Bethiah Ives The deed is dated November 27, 1793. It was signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of Joshua Knapp and Zena(Zera?) Ives on March 24, 1794. It was recorded October 5-9th (?)A.D. 1794 Amasa(5) and Bethiah were husband and wife as of March 24, 1794. [We believe that Stephen’s 2d wife Mary is listed in the Rutland County Vermont Genealogical Gleanings transcribed and gathered by Elijah Ellsworth Brownell, Phila. PA, 1942, which shows that one of the Pensioners at Wallingford in Rutland County as of June 1, 1840 was:        Mary Ives Age 75, Residing with John Ives, (Head of the family of residence)] On to Madison Co. NY. (Where Betsey Ives married Jesse Roberts on 8 June, 1815.) In the Madison county land records at Wampsville we find a deed in BookJ, at pages 430/431 dated March 19, 1816 between:        “Amasa Ives and Mary his wife of the town of Smithfield, County of Madison, State of New York of the first part and Amasa Ives Jun’r ...of the second part.”        This deed is signed by Amasa Ives and MaryX(Her Mark)Ives and was               recorded on 6 June 1816. In the 1810 census for Madison county we find:        A. Ives               Males 45 and up              1               Females 10 to 16              1        (This must be Betsey??)               Females 16 to 26              1               Females over 45              1       (Is this Bethiah or Mary??)        A. Ives Jr.               Males 10 to 16              1               Males 26 to 45               1                      Females0 to 10              2               Females 26 to 45              1        In Mayville NY on June 22, 1835, the Holland Land Company sold the east half of lot No. 3 in Township No. Two in the Tenth Range to Amasa Ives (6?)This is the initial sale of this parcel after the acquisition and subdivision of the area by the Holland Land Company.(See Book 19, p.292)Subsequent deeds of property in this area are by Amasa (6) Ives and Betsey Ives. No deeds by Amasa(5) were found in the Chautauqua county land records at Mayville NY. CONCLUSIONS 1.       It seems clear that the juvenile members of the Amasa(5) family counted on the censuses of 1790 and 1800 had to be children of Bethiah, since she was still alive on March 24, 1794 when the deed listed above was signed. 2.       We believe that Bethiah is Betsey’s mother, since the deed was signed on March 24, 1794 and Betsey was born on July 16, 1795. It hardly seems likely that Bethiah would die or leave and Amasa(5) would remarry and have a child by Mary within 16 months??? The 1810 census in NY indicates that Betsey is also the youngest and last child of Amasa(5)??? 3.       Some of the Ives females who were married at North Adams in the period from 1790 through 1806 should be children of Bethiah. If the children of Stephen from that group can be identified, then the remaining females married during that time are likely to be children of Bethiah. (Our review did not show that there were other Ives families of this generation in the North Adams area at that time???) 4.       No records of the surnames of Bethiah or Mary were found.Some sources indicate that they may have been sisters with a surname of Ames, Eames, Aems, etc.. (We question whether they were sisters, since Bethiah was able to sign her name and Mary was not???) To our knowledge no marriage records of Amasa(5) have been located. FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS THAT SHOULD BE MADE 1.       Check the Death Notice for Amasa(6) published in the Mayville NY newspaper(Mayville Sentinel???) on 3 Feb. 1864 DOD 25 Jan 1864. It may include some information about his parents?? This should be available on microfilm at the Patterson Library in Westfield NY. 2.       Check the Tinmouth and Rutland County Vermont records and other sources for identities of the Stephen and Susannah/Mary Ives children so the Amasa and Bethiah Ives children who were married at North Adams can be tentatively identified. 3.       Investigate the genealogy records of the husbands of the Ives females married about 1790 - 1806 at North Adams to see whether any of those researchers have identified the parents of the Ives females. 4.       Check with the Boston Genealogical Society which is purported to have extensive vital records for MA. This may lead to some marriage and birth records that would provide the surname of Bethiah and/or Mary. 5.       Check the NY vital records at Albany to see whether there is any record of a death of Bethiah in NY and a marriage of Amasa(5) to Mary.

Parents

Biography

Biography		The following note is on Amasa Robert's FindaGrave page, which was created by Larry Storm in 2006. "Amasa Roberts was born April 14, 1758, in Bristol, Hartford County, Connecticut. Amasa was the son of Elias and Susanna Roberts. In 1769, Amasa came with his parents from New Cambridge, Connecticut to the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania to settle that Great Wilderness. Amasa was a Private in the 24th Regiment of the Wyoming Valley Militia and was one of the few survivors of the battle of Wyoming, July 3, 1778. His father, Elias was killed in the battle. His name is incorrectly noted on the plaque of survivors, as James Roberts. Amasa and the rest of the family returned to Bristol after the massacre. He married Keturah Lindsley in 1787, at Bristol. Their children were: Jesse, Alvory, Susanna, Alice, Amasa, Hiram,and Jared. In 1794, Amasa left Bristol with his wife and three children intending to move to Genesee County, New York. When they arrived at Fenner, Madison County, New York, his ox cart was broken so badly he had to stop there. He liked the country so well he decided to stay. He bought land in Fenner on the Peterboro Road in 1798. He built a log cabin on this land, which was all woods. Later he built a wood frame house which was the first in the locality. " Kim's New England Ancestors Rootsweb World Connect tree gives the following bio: Amasa Roberts, Sr. served in the Massachusetts Militia and was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He was a private in Captain James Walsworth's Company, Col. Elisha Porter's New Hampshire Company. He enlisted on 22 July 1779 and was discharged on 27 August 1779, serving 1 month and 11 days at New London, CT, including 6 days to travel home. Roll was sworn at Deerfield, MA.

Thaddeus Crane

Parents

Biography

Biography		The History of Westchester County, by J.T. Scharf, dated 1886, has the following paragraph about Thaddeus: "Colonel Thaddeus Crane, a resident of the town long before the Revolution, went out in the Continental army as major and was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. He was supervisor of the town from 1784 to 1788, member of the Assembly in 1777-78-79 and a member of the convention to deliberate upon the adoption of the Constitution and voted in favor of it. He sold land, July 2, 1795, to John Lobdell. His will on record is dated July 2, 1803. He left a wife, Lydia, and sons, Peter and James, and daughters, Mary (Mrs. Nathaniel Paddock), Sarah (Mrs. Abraham Smith), Elizabeth (Mrs. Nathaniel Smith), Ruth (Mrs. Jotham Smith), Abigail, Fanny, Lydia, Theda, Weltham and Sally." Another paragraph notes: "Colonel Crane was an active participant in the war for liberty, holding a commission in the American army. While leading his command against a party of British, just over the present eastern line of the town and near Ridgefield, he was shot through the lungs, and the large flat rock is still to be seen where he was carried by some of his soldiers to have the bullet extracted, which was done by cutting the skin just under the shoulder-blade, the ball having passed directly through the lung and lodged under the skin of the back. It was thought impossible for him to recover, but he did so, and lived several years afterward. The bullet was preserved for many years by his family, but was eventually lost. Colonel Crane was the father of Thaddeus and Gerard Crane, the noted showmen, and his grandson, Thaddeus Crane, is now a prominent resident of the latter town."1
