Harvey, Ephriam

Notes:

"History of Montague: a Puritan Town"

"In 1757, that difficult and delicate task of seating the meetinghouse was entrusted to a committee of nine, divided
into three sets or subcommittees. Each set was to seat the house by themselves in the first instance, and
then compare notes, the committee as a whole to adjust the differences. We may imagine the fancied slights and
heartburnings which the committee's work produced, however wisely they acted; Mrs. Samuel Harvey, perhaps,
complaining because she had been assigned a seat inferior to that given Mrs. Lieut. Clapp, and others making
similar criticisms without end. Too poor to buy a bell, the people voted to hire Lieut. Clapp's "conk" shell to
be blown as a "sygnall on the Sabbath day," and it was afterwards purchased by the town for one pound and ten
shillings. It exists to-day, a treasured relic, in the hands of Deacon Richard Clapp.

Samuel married Bodman, Lydia on 2 Dec 1736 in Sunderland, Franklin, Massachusetts, USA. Lydia (daughter of Bodman, Joseph) was born on 30 Jul 1707 in Hatfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA; died in in Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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]
