Nathaniel Brush

m: Elizabeth Sears (-7 MAY 1815)

Children:

Notes:

The parentage of Nathaniel accepted here comes from the research of Richard Sweet Rice, fruit s of which has been passed through his son Bill to Jo Rice to me. Records in Research & Leads are consistent with this and were obtained independently, but were insufficient to just to this conclusion. The full records backing this conclusion have yet to be verified by me..
_______________
Research & Leads:

* The following notes were found on a now defunct web site -- it appears that it could be refering to the same Nathaniel Brush... "May shows husband as Nathaniel Brush but Descendants of Thomas and Richard Brush of L.I. by Stuart Brush, c. 1982 says May had the wrong Elizabeth. Nathaniel's wife probably was a Sears and perhaps an Elizabeth as in 1810 Nathaniel's father, Philip, nearest neighbors in Ridgefield were Comfort Sears, Knowles Sears and Isaac Sears."
* The Elizabeth Sears in question in the above quote was Elizabeth b. 26 Nov 1790, dau. of Knowles Sears (Elizabeth-Knowles-James-Silas-Silas-Richard). The belief of that author is that that Elizabeth Sears actually married Joseph Bennett Brush, b. 26 May 1786 in Huron, NY, d. 30 Apr 1858 Ridgebury, CT.
* State papers of Vermont, Vol II: Vermont Charters, P.H. Gobie Press Inc., 1922 (http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~teking/orphans/vt_grants.htm) , has the Charter of Fletcher Twp., which includes name Nathaniel Brush.
* A Nathaniel Brush is found on the tax rolls of the town of Amenia, Dutchess Co., NY, in 1765 & 1766. He is not found there in 1757 or 1767. In 1770, Reubin, Richard and Samuel Brush are there. No Sears are found on those lists. [http://www.ajcockrell.com/census/ameniany/Amenia_1Page30.html]
* Suffolk Co., NY finds many Brushes. (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nysuffol/) Old Huntington Cemetery has several (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nysuffol/ohcem.html), with no obvious connection.
* As per AF, a Nathaniel Brush b. 5 Jan 1746 d. bef 1794 m. 1 Jan 1775 Hannah Platt, all events in Huntington, Suffolk Co., NY. Note the surname Platt. A son, Stephen Brush, listed as b. c1776 in Huntingdon, LI,NY. This Nathaniel3-Ananias2-Samuel1. However, as a red flag for reliability, also note that AF shows him as a descendant of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower, but "Mayflower Families" Vol.6 doesn't even accept the first generation of that purported descent, let alone the incorrect wife of Stephen Hopkins shown there that has since been disproven.

Elizabeth Sears

m: Nathaniel Brush (10 NOV 1787-1840)

Children:

Notes:

Apparently a number of authors have mistakenly equated her to the Elizabeth Sears born 26 No v 1790, dau. of Knowles Sears.

Judith Pattee

m: Sparrow King (21 APR 1798-)

Children:

Notes:

She was NOT the daughter of Daniel Pattee and Judith Barnard. They had a daughter, also name d Judith Pattee (born 29 Jun 1787 Canaan, Grafton Co., NH), who married David Greeley [William A. Wallace, History of Canaan, NH, The Rumford Press, Canaan Historical Society]. Thanks go to Steven Pattee who pointed this out to me.

Daniel Collins Pattee

m: Anna Putnam (27 JUN 1778-16 FEB 1857)

Children:

Notes:

List of names of children comes from Stephen Pattee, email of Mar 1, 2003, where he also conv inced me that my Judith (Pattee) King, wife of Sparrow King, was not the daughter of Daniel and Judith (Barnard) Pattee, but rather the daughter of Daniel Collins Pattee and Anna Putnam. The latter assignment still relies on the fact that we don't know of any further Judith Pattees.

Someone with this name listed in a rev war index.

IGI entry: Daniel Collins Pattee, b. 14 Jun 1768 Georgetown, Maine, to David and Lucy (Collins) Pattee

Note: This does seem like the most likely parentage. However, David's brother Ezekiel also lived in Winslow and can't be ruled out yet (although the middle name is certainly suggestive of David and Lucy (Collins) Pattee.

JOHN PUTNAM Norridge and Wock, Lincoln County
Listing is 1-2-4. John is number 876, a son of Israel Putnam (329) and Sarah Hutchinson of Bedford, Massachusetts. He was born there April 23, 1750, and came up here shortly after the Revolution. He married Joanna Eames in Cambridge, Massachusetts March 22, 1774. He will die here into the early 1820s, his children and grandchildren forever. John will die here about 1815, Joanna in 1834. This line goes back John (876) > Israel (329) > Israel (126) Benjamin (23) > Nathaniel (5) > John (1).

Notes:

The identity of Benjamin Putnam's first wife is somewhat of a mystery. The Descendants of Ri chard Hutchinson of Arnold, Nottinghamshire, England, at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rhutch/nti00551.htm, reviews the controversy. Eben Putnam [Putnam Leaflets 1:3] suggests that her maiden name was Tarrant. Also, one of their children was given Tarrant as a first name. LDS AF & ordinance lists gives her name as Elizabeth Tarrant, but this is also weak. Read Putnam has stated the name could also be Elizabeth or Hannah. Percy Derby's book, The Hutchinson Family, 1870, gives (it appears) Sarah Tarrant.
