601 GBFA p.24: Buried at the Bullock's Hill Graveyard,"wife of Capt. Daniel"

name: Alice or Else or Elsie - Spelled Alce in father's will; spelled Else in marriage record.
Diane Bowman (28 May 1999), in response to Freelove Wheaton, posted by Carla on Sun, 21 Feb 1999: One of Ephraim and Mary Wheaton's daughters, Alice (1700 - 1766), married Daniel Barney on Feb 24, 1726. I'm descended from them. I have some information on Wheatons, but none on Mary Mason. Do you have more on her line? As for Wheatons, I have Ephraim's parents as Robert Wheaton 1604/5 - 1695/6 and Alice Bowen (abt. 1618 - 1693). Alice's parents are Richard Bowen (abt. 1590 - 1674/5) and Ann (abt. 1606 - 1648). I'm not sure if the dates for Robert Wheaton are correct. 
Wheaton, Alice (I2067)
 
602 GBFA p.25: The Reverend Ephraim Wheaton was the 9th son of a clergyman, and is believed to be a descendant of Robert Wheaton who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1636. Ephraim Wheaton lived in Southern massachusetts all his life. One of his descendants is Judge Laban Wheaton who founded the Wheaton Seminary College at Norton, Mass. Among the children of the Rev. Ephraim and Mary (Mason) Wheaton are:

a. Alice (or "Else") Wheaton, b. Nov. 26, 1700; md. #39 Daniel Barney.
b. Freelove Wheaton, b. June 1, 1703; md. #46 Josiah Barney.

"Reed Family History," by Mrs. Nellie Reed Sutherland: "Ephraim Wheaton was the son of Robert Wheaton, an early settler in Rehoboth, owning land there in 1658. In the double Volume 1 and 2 of Arnold's "Vital Records," on page 20, he says Robert Wheaton and Elce Bowen were married about 1636 at Salem, Mass. Elce Bowen was the daughter of Richard Bowen who was one of the early Pilgrims. Robert Wheaton followed Roger Williams from Salem south toward Providence in 1638 or about that date. The Wheaton family has produced many famous ministers and judges. Two of the latter endowed the Wheaton Female Seminary (now College) at Norton, Mass., 80 miles from Taunton and near Rehoboth. My daughter, Jean Sutherland, graduated from this college in 1913. It is about 80 years old now."

Notes from Rehoboth Roots; Updated: Mar 19, 2002. Contact: Jim Bullock Descendants of Early Settlers of Rehoboth, Mass.: "In 1704, Mr. Ephraim Wheaton became associate with Elder Luther, and at his death [1716] sole pastor. [The first Baptist Church in Swansea] In 1718 the church records seem to begin. Mr. Wheaton appears to have been a man who exerted a great and good influence on the church, and on others also. His ministry was eminently successful, and the church was highly prosperous. According to the records we have, about one hundred were added to the church. He died April 26, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, and was buried in Rehoboth." [History of Swansea] Residence was in a contiguous part of Rehoboth. [NEHGR]

She had accepted an assignment to Rubens School along White Rock Creek in Jewell county, Kansas and was boarding with Sadie and Elmer Intermill when their son, Myron, came home on leave from his service with the U.S. Army during World War II.

In November, 2007, Evonne was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to be closer to her daughter, Pat and her family. She lived at Rigden Farm Senior Living where she enjoyed visiting with family and friends, particularly her great-granddaughter, Tessa.

620 Had 13 Children according to History of Winona County. Census records from 1860 to 1900, however, reveal 14 entries.

From The History of Winona County Minnesota, compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Editor in Chief, Assisted by William Jay Whipple, Reviewer of Manuscripts and a Large Corps of Local Contributors, Illustrated, Volume II, Chicago, H.C. Cooper Jr. and Co., 1913 (Copy in Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul), page 909:

James G. Wilson was born in New York state, February 13, 1832, and died in Winona county, June 6, 1907. He came to Winona county in 1854, and settled in New Hartford township. He lived a quiet life, and devoted himself to his farm and his large family. He married Sarah Brown, who was born June 20, 1832, and died in June 1902. In the family there were thirteen children, ten boys and three girls. Eleven of the thirteen lived to adult years, and of these, ten are still living.

From the Winona Republican-Herald, 13 June 1908:

Dakota

Another of the rapidly diminishing members of Winona county pioneers has passed away. James G. Wilson died at his home in Dakota Valley June 7 1908 at the advanced age of seventy-six years, three months and twenty-four days. The deceased was born at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and came to Minnesota in 1854 and opened the farm which he has occupied ever since. He was joined in marriage to Sarah B. Brown a sister of the late Nathan Brown, the pioneer settler in Dakota. The marriage took place in 1852. Of this union were born thirteen children, three of whom are dead. The first Mrs. Brown died quite a number of years ago and on June 6, 1907 Mr. Wilson contracted a second marriage with Emma Einfeldt of La Crosse who survives him. The funeral services were held June 9, conducted by Rev. C. F. Dykeman. Interment was made in the cemetery about a mile and a half west of the village of Dakota, which was laid out as a burial place a number of years ago and is located near the residence of the deceased. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the west. Because the house was unable to hold the assembled number of people the services were held in the open air on the cemetery grounds. The grave was decked with garlands of flowers placed there by those who loved him best. Kind friends sang hymns of comfort and Rev. Dykeman pronounced and the people returned to their homes. Seven of the children were present at the funeral. Mr. Wilson possessed a robust and vigorous intellect, but lived rather a retired life, fond of horticulture and gardening, intimately known to but few and esteemed most of his old neighbors and associates, who with him came here in territorial days and labored to make Minnesota and abode of an industrious, intelligent and happy people.

In the Wilson cemetery under the huge boughs of the large oak trees which cover the place, Mr. Dykeman said in part to the large crowd of mourners and freinds, that he thought the service would be more impressive and appropriate right out in the open air, and in God's own temple he read a short sketch of Mr. Wilson's life and religious belief which was a Universalist. He then took up his theme which was to avoid or lessen future punishment; Justice and Truth doing all the good we can, and making all as happy as we can. He said Universalists were scarce and far between, and he believed that he was the only Universalist minister in southern Minnesota. Mr. Dykeman spoke as only Mr. Dykeman can. It has seldom been or privilege to listen to more truth. The choir were Wm. Winter, Mrs. Wolf, and Mrs. Workman.

628 Harold H. Johnson, 89, born August 27, 1922 died July 28, 2012 in Sunnyside. His grandparents came to Sunnyside from Iowa by covered wagon in 1893 when his father was a year old. They homesteaded a farm on South Emerald Road, SW of Sunnyside. Harold was born on this farm and graduated from Sunnyside High School. He then attended Washington State College (now WSU), and graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering.

Due to World War II, he completed his degree a year early, finishing in the summer following his Junior year. In June 1944 he was drafted into the US Army "Corps of Engineers" and was soon on his first cruise liner "Queen Elizabeth" headed for Europe. After the war in Europe was won, they prepared for deployment to the Pacific. However, this war ended prior to deployment. He then was assigned to a group photographing the Nurnberg Trials. By the time he left the army, he had earned the rank of Sergeant. Battles & Campaigns: Rhineland. Victory Medal, American Theater Service Medal, Army of Occupation Medal (Germany), European African Middle Eastern Service Medal, and Good Conduct Medal.

After the war he returned to Sunnyside and built his own house, which was completed in early 1950. Later that year he met and married the only woman he ever loved, his wife, Viola. They lived in the house a short time until he decided to follow construction building dams. He soon became Project Engineer constructing dams all over the world. Their three children were born at various towns near these projects. Dams include: Chief Joseph, Littleton (NH), Dalles, Ice Harbor, John Day, Fall Creek (OR), & Arrow (BC). He also worked on Dams in Australia, Iran, Central and South America. As the construction of dams was ending, he worked on Rapid Transit, including BART in San Francisco, CA, and Metro in Washington, DC. He received Professional Engineer Registration in Washington, Oregon, and District of Columbia (Washington, DC) Harold retired in 1984 and returned to live in the house he built in Sunnyside. He always planted a vegetable garden. Due to the size of his garden, a friend once stated, "The government should pay you not to produce!"

Viola had been diagnosed with cancer a couple of years prior to his retirement, so his goal was to conquer the disease. She eventually died in February 1988, so he directed all his energy to helping his children and grandchildren. He was a strong advocate of education, something no one could take away. Viola's dying wishes to her son was for him to take care of her husband. She was more concerned about him than herself. With his son Keith, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and designing and building home improvement projects, including an addition to his original house. Harold continued to grow his massive garden, using only a #2 shovel and a hoe. He couldn't understand why people would walk around the block for exercise when all they had to do was go work in their yards.

He is survived by: Two daughters, Betty & Tom Spradlin of Selah, WA; Irena Johnson of Wenatchee, WA Son - Keith Johnson of Sunnyside, WA; seven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Viola; his parents Leighton & Gladys Johnson; his sister, Jean & husband Earl Huetson; his sister, Virginia & husband Bill Verhulp; his sister Barbara & husband Walt Johnson; Granddaughter Angela Bisbee; and Little Girl.

647 He was alive in the 1744 census owning 7 slaves with a wife,over 61 years of age and was known as Col. Northup. He was extremely sucessful, having held various military and civilian offices. An extensive landowner. He built a house in Kingston which still stands. 1725-1730, appointed Lt. of Kingston Militia by King George, 2nd May 1731-1739 Served as 2nd Capt., May 1739-May 1742 Lt. Col. 3rd Regt., May 1742-1767 Col., May 1729-1747 N. Kingstown Sheriff, May 1749-1767 Chief Justice of the Peace, then appointed Chief Justice. He apparently remained loyal to the King during Rev. War. There are no records of Immanual during the Rev. War period till his death. He obviously led a secluded existence from public life previously known. With the responsibility and favors bestowed on him by King George 2nd, his loyalty is understandable. Though he was about 76 years old when Rev. War was declared, he did not leave for Nova Scotia as many other Loyalists did. In his positionsof authority, he must have been respected, since no retaliation seems to have been taken against him. He had descendants whofought for the American cause. One can only imagine what turmoil Immanual must have suffered emotionally with divided feelings of loyalty. For holding such prestigious positions, one assumes he was a man of stature, dignity and commanding veneration. Perhaps this, coupled with age, is why his friends and neighbors seemgly left the man to himself with his thoughts. (Thanks for Ve Nolan for this information) Northup, Immanuel (I6599)
