CAPT. EBNEZER HARVEY was of Northfield, Mass, in 1758, having come to that town from Sunderland. He appears to have removed from Northfield to Winchester, and from that town to Chesterfield. September 17, 1772 he purchased of Elkanah Day,, of this town, a part of house-lots Nos. 5 and 6, in the tenth and eleventh ranges. This land was near the common at the Centre village, which was mentioned in the deed as having been conveyed to the town. In JUne 1777, he was sentenced by
the "court of inquiry" at Keene to be confined to the limits of his farm and to pay a fine for alleged hostility to the American cause.
He appears also to have been a zealous partisan of Vermont in the controversy about the "New Hampshire Grants." He was selectman in 1783 and 1803; representative in 1785. He was the first postmaster in Chesterfield commissioned by the United States, holding the office from 1802 to 1810.

One of his sons, RUFUS HARVEY SR., lived and died in Chesterfield. For many years he (Rufus) was a deputy sheriff for the county of Cheshire.

DANIEL2 WARNER, son of Andrews Warner, was
probably born after his parents came to America. His birth
record has never been found and the year is uncertain,
although the evidence would be in favor of a date between 1632
and 1635. He died in Hatfield, Mass., April 30, 1692. He went
in 1659 with his father from Hartford, Conn., to Hadley, and
settled in the part of town that was set off as Hatfield in 1670.
Dani : \Varner, freeman, Hatfield, May 7, 1673 (Mass. Bay
Records, vol. 4, pt. 2, 587). Daniel Warner was appointed
ensign to the foot company in Hadley, Oct. 7, 1674, and returned
a bill for caring for soldiers, May 3o, 1679 (Mass. Bay Records,
vol. 5, 239, 336, etc.). He is designated in early records as Lieutenant
Daniel Warner. He was a grantee of Northfield in 1682
and was there at the Second Settlement (History of Northfield).
With seven others from Hadley he signed a letter to the General
Court, sent from Hadley April 29, 1676, regarding the nearness
of the enemy (N. E. Reg., 41 :202). This was during the French
and Indian War.
The settlers on the two sides of the river at Hadley were
obliged to do many things separately on account of the treacherous
swiftness of the water at the point of crossing. The
church was on the east side of the river and the ninety residents
of the west side found great difficulty in attending services. In
May, 1667, Daniel Warner was one of those who sent a petition
to the General Court asking to he set off as a separate parish or
society. They had lived on the west side for six years and
found it difficult and dangerous to cross. "Our vessels tossed
up and down so that our women and children do screech, and
are so affrighted that they are made unfit for ordinances, and
cannot hear so as to profit by them by reason of their anguish
of spirit."-"When we do go over the river we leave our relatives
and estates lying on the outside of the colony, joining to
the wilderness, to be a prey to the heathen when they see their
opportunity." Thrilling tales were told of the canoes filling with
water, or of the worshippers breaking through the ice. (History
of Hadley.)...
...
The Court appointed the widow Martha and Samuel Partridge
as administrators on September 30th, 1692, and ordered
the "property to be devided amongst ye children of the deceased
which are fowrteen, the eldest son named Dan" Werner a double
portion, 2(1 son Andrew, Sarah Shelding, Anna Hubbirt. Mary
Warner, Hannah Worner, John, Abram, Samuel, Ebenezer,
Mahitabell, Elizabeth, Hester, Nathaniel." (Northampton Probate
Records, 3:1.)

Daniel married Boltwood, Martha on 1 Apr 1674. Martha (daughter of Boltwood, Robert and unknown, Mary) died on 22 Sep 1710. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The Harvey Book, Oscar Jewell Harvey, 1899, pages 35-37:

THOMAS Harvey,(Thomas), born in Somersetshire, England, in 1617, came with his brother William to Dorchester, Mass., in
1636. [Sec page 26 ante.] Two years later he was settled at Cohannet, as is evidenced by the following deposition recorded in Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, Vol. I., p.38:

"The deposition of Thomas Harvey of Cohannet yeoman aged xxj yeares or thereabout" (taken before Thomas Prince, gent., Goyr.. the eight day of Nov. in the xiiij yeare of his Maj’ Y Reigne of England 1638)."

"The said Thomas Harvey deposeth and sayth, That he this deponent having a bond or writing under the hand and scale of Walter Knight, Carpenter, whereby the said Walter Knight stood endepted in the sume of five pounds sterling unto Mr. Christopher Derby, which was paid for his passage over, for which five Pounds is to be payed unto Mr. Richard Derby here, as this deponent was reading the same (at sd Knights re-quest) in the ship as they came over, the said Walter Knight snatched the said bond or writing out of this deponents hand and immediate! tore the same an pieces."

Thomas Harvey was not one of the "first and ancient purchasers" of Cohannet (one reason for this being that he was under twenty-one years of age when the purchase was made), but between 1639 and 1642 he and thirteen others were adraitted as "proprietors of Taunton" upon the payment of twelve shillings each; by virtue of which payment, it was voted, the new proprietors - known as "12-shilling men" - had "“and shall have a right in future divisions of land."

In 1643, by order of the General Court, a list of "all the males able to beare Armes from xvj Yeares old to 60 yeares, within the seurall
Towneshipps," was made. Taunton’s list (see Plym. CoL Rec., VIII.: 195) contains fifty-four names, and the only Harvey in the list is "Thom Harvey." (His brother William was at this time living in Boston.)

Thomas was married about 1642 to Elizabeth Andrews (born in England in 1614), sister of Henry Andrews* of Taunton. Thomas Harvey died in Taunton in 1651, aged thirty-four years; and a year or two later his widow was married to Francis Street of Taunton, to whom she bore a daughter named Mary, who was living in Taunton in 1724, unmarried. Francis Street died early in 1665 (William Harvey was one of the appraisers of his estate in June, ‘65), and on the 10th of the following December the widow Elizabeth was married (3d time) to Thomas Linkon, or Lincoln, the Taunton miller, whose grist.mill (built in 1652 or ‘3) stood on the west side of Mill River, between the present Cohannet and Winthrop streets.

* HENRY Andrews was included in the list of freemen, from Cohannet dated 7 March, 1636; was one of the purchasers of Taunton in 1637; Was one of the Seven men admitted end sworn as freemen 4 Dec., 1638; was one of the Deputies to the General Court in 1639 when the town was first organized, and also in 1643, ‘4, ‘7 and ‘9. He built the first meeting-house in Taunton, in payment for Which (in whole or in part) the town conveyed so him the “calves’ pasture” in 1647. He died at Taunton in 1653, and in his will (dated 13 March, 1653, and recorded In Plym. Col. Records) bequeathed so his sister Elizabeth Harvey, " widow * * * in Taunton * * a cow which is now in the keeping of George Macey, which my will is shall belong so her children."

LUCIEN C. WARNER, M.D., LL.D. & MRS. JOSEPHINE GENUNG NICHOLS, The Descendants of Andrew Warner (NEW HAVEN, CONN., THE TUTTLE, MOREHOUSE & TAYLOR CO., 1919).

Robert' Boltwood, a native of Essex County, England, came to America before 1648, when his name first appears in the
Connecticut records. He *settled in the east part of Wethersfield, in the part now included in Glastonbury, and received a
grant of a pond with a quantity of land adjacent thereto, which he purchased from the Indian chief, Peckharen. He was made
freeman May 20, 1658, and the following year was one of the "engagers" who removed to Hadley, Massachusetts, and became
one of the original proprietors of that settlement. His home lot of eight acres was located on the west side of Main Street
of Hadley, the fourth in order from the north limits of the settlement.

He died in Hadley April 6, 1684, and his wife Mary, whose parentage is unknown, died there May 14, 1687. In Hadley
Robert Boltwood was a sergeant in the militia, held many civil offices, was a farmer and ran the corn mill from 1677 until
his death. Robert' and Mary Boltwood had five children : Samuel2 ; Sarah', m. (I) Isaac' Warner of Hatfield (see number
8) ; Lydia2, m. April 2, 1674, John Warner of Springfield; Martha', m. Daniel2 Warner; and Mary', m. October 24, 1667,
James Beebe. Samuel2 Boltwood was a soldier stationed at Deerfield at the time of the fearful Indian attack upon the settlement,
February 29, 1704, and was killed in the encounter. When the news of the attack reached Hadley, his sons, Samuel, Robert,
and Eleazer, knowing that their father was involved, joined the troop and rode rapidly to the relief of Deerfield. The father and
three sons were all engaged in the desperate fight on Deerfield meadows for the recovery of the captive inhabitants. In the
same band were four other grandsons of Robert Boltwood, Johns, Ebenezer', and Samuel' Warner (sons of Daniel2 and
Martha (Boltwood) Warner), and Daniel' (son of Isaac2 and Sarah (Boltwood) Warner).
Robert Boltwood of Hadley, in his will dated 19 Jan. 1682, proved at Springfield 3o Sept. 1684, provides as follows (among
other items) :

"Item I give & bequeath to my daughter Sarah wife to Isaac Warner ten pounds. Item I give & bequeath to my daughter Martha wife to Danll
Warner fifteene pounds. Item I give & bequeath to my daughter Lydia wife to John Warner fifteen pounds Item I do give & bequeath to my
daughter Mary deceased her three children five pounds apiece. Item- to my loveing son Sarnu Boltwood-five pounds. Item-al the rest-I bequeath
to my Loveing wife. Son Samuel Boltwood Executor."

(Hampshire Probate, Northampton, 2:18.)

Robert married unknown, Mary. Mary died on 14 May 1687 in Hadley, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
