Supplina Judd Household (and possibly Hamilton children) in 1840 Virginia, Cass County Census
The 1840 Census shows Supplina Judd and household. Supplina was the brother of Altha (Judd) Hamilton. Supplina's father was also named Supplina as was his young eight year old (now orphan) nephew Supplina Hamilton. Supplina was a lawyer and known as 'Squire' Judd. I guess it makes sence that he was living in the county seat of Cass County at the time. Supplina married Susan Pratt in 1837. That being the case at least two of the older children in the household could not have been his own but may have been Hamilton's or other extended family. There is an older woman living with them as well. We do not know who this was. It could be his mother or Susan's mother. Supplina's mother was Jemina (Pooler) Judd. (posted by Glen)

Supplina Judd's family. Sidney, NY. 1810
Supplina Judd married Jemina Pooler on Jan 26, 1797 in NY.
Here they are listed in the 1810 Census as living in the town of Sidney, NY in Deleware CO.
They have six children in the household four under 10 and two in the 10 to 16 census age bracket. We know that they had six children total.
One of these children was Altha Judd who would marry John Hamilton in 1815 and become the mother of Supplina Hamilton.
It's also interesting to note that it looks like quite a few of Jemina's family were living nearby. There are four Pooler families listed in this relatively small town. (posted by Glen)

Supplina Judd's first Illinois land purchase - 1835
There are two Supplina Judd's. The first is Altha (Judd) Hamilton's father. The second is her brother. The elder Supplina Judd and his son were living next to John and Altha Hamilton in Amity, Allegany County, NY in 1830. Apparently sometime thereafter the Hamiltons' and Judds' emigrated to Illinois perhaps in search of better or lower cost farm land. I am assuming this purchase record was for Supplina Judd the elder as Supplina, Jr. and family were living in Virgina, Cass County (not Greene County) as of the 1840 Census. This is only an assumption. As a point of interest, Supplina Hamilton (Son of John and Altha Hamilton), named after his grandpa Supplina Judd, was born in Illinois in 1832. (posted by Glen)

This link is to a list of the historical trust properties in North Carolina. Of the few there are, two are adjacent lands put in historical trust by William and Laverne Templeton. These lands are in Iredell county in NC. The first Templetons settled in the area by at least by the first half of the 1700's. David Hamilton is one of the earliest recorded immigrants in that part of the State. In 1828 Robert Templeton left Iredell County and moved to Shelby County, Illinois in the Ash Grove Township. Robert's grandson, Greenberry Shields Templeton was the father of Laura Annette(ie) and Julia Aletha Templeton. the girls emigrated to Oregon with their father and stepmother Hattie (Munson) Templeton and eventually married Judd and Frank Hamilton respectively, the sons of Supplina and Jane Hamilton.

Templeton's in Illinois: History of Ash Grove, Shelby County, Illinois
Ash Grove Township came into being in 1825 when Samuel Little and Robert Duncan arrived. The Wilson family is also associated with Ash Grove.
...
"The deer were the principal game; however, bears were seen in (Ash Grove) township as late as 1833, and panthers for several years later. Along the streams was a favorite hunting ground for the Indian, and as late as 1827 Indian camps still remained. In the winter of 1826 and 1827 the Indians had quite a large camp, of ninety or one hundred lodges, on the west side of the west four mile branch, on what is now the William M. Wilson place. The Indians camped here were a part of three tribes, the Kickapoos, Pottawatomies and Delawares, under a chief by the name of Turkey. These Indians were very friendly, and considered honest by the early settlers. This camp was a lively place, particularly on Sunday, made more so by the presence of a great many white people, who would come from the settlements for miles around to spend the day. The camp was kept lively by horse racing, shooting, foot racing, jumping and trying their muscle in various ways. In the spring of 1827 the Indians left their hunting grounds in this part of the country, and were not seen any more here after the year 1828." http://www.edenmartin.com/counties/ashgrove.htm
...
Cochran's Grove, located in Ash Grove Township, came into being in 1826 with the arrival of John Cochran.
...
"There is considerable timber along these streams. Among the larger bodies is Cochran's Grove; it contains fully Three Thousand acres at the head waters of the West Fork of Little Wabash; a part of the Grove is in Richland township, and ... was named in honor of John Cochran, one of the early settlers." http://www.edenmartin.com/counties/ashgrove.htm
...
Cochran's Grove post office served the area sporadically from 1831 through 1856, when mail service was transferred to Windsor. The Cochran, Frazer, Templeton, Storm, Bolin, Green, Dixon and Rankin surnames are associated with Cochran's Grove.
...
Robert Templeton arrived in Section 4 of Ash Grove Township in 1828. This North Carolina native settled between two small tributaries of the East Fork of the Little Wabash River. The two streams were called Four Mile Creeks and the area became known as Four Mile Grove.
...
The Cochran Cemetery in Section 7 of Ash Grove Township is the final resting place of one of the first people to die in Shelby County. Anna Templeton was buried here in 1829. Cochran, Sexson and Storm family members rest beside her.
...
Located in Ash Grove Township Section 7, the Cochran family did bury 92 year old John Cochran here in 1853. Rankins, Storm, Templeton and Abercrombie families are also buried here.
...
Cochran's Grove became Windsor on July 8, 1856. It served the communities of Quigley and Sargents. Windsor was also known as Illiopolis. (posted by Glen )

The country church John and Altha Hamilton may have attended
This pioneer Presbyterian congregation in Cass County, Illinois was very likely attended by John and Altha Hamilton from the time they entered the county (c. 1831) to their their death c. 1839(?). The congregation is known as the Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church. A leading pioneer minister of the congregation was the Reverend William McCord. He died in 1833. In 1834 when John and Altha had their twin sons, they named one of them William McCord Hamilton.... we believe after their esteemed minister, William McCord. The Scotch-Irish Hamilton's had likely been Presbyterian for many generations at this point. (posted by Glen)

The Dawn of the Ulster-Scots as shown in the BBC
This is a BBC documentary on the Scottish 'Ulster plantation' founded in Northern Ireland in 1606. It was produced on the 400th anniversary of the founding of this historically transformational colony in 2006. The movement was lead by James Hamilton and Hugh Montgomery. Our Hamilton lineage genetically traces its roots through Ulster back to Scotland. We were at one point in our history (likely from the early 1600's to the mid-1700's) 'Ulster-Scots.' When our family got to America the Ulster Scots became known as the 'Scots-Irish.' This documentary is now on YouTube.com in four segments: a, b, c and d.
Note: We are genetically not closely related to the descendants of James Hamilton who came to Ulster in 1606 but the families of the Duke of Abercorn (Hamilton) in Northern Ireland are well known to this family and we are genetically closely related to them. (posted by Glen)

The loss (foreclosure) on the Sumpter Homestead in Linn County, Oregon
This is interesting document from the book, "
Reports of cases decided in the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon." The case of Fleschner v. Sumpter. Fleschner and his business partner Solomon Hirsch were well known pioneer financiers. I don't claim to have gotten all the nuances of the case, but It would appear that Alexander Sumpter, Jr. , the younger brother of Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton sold their donation land claim of 160 acres in Linn County, Oregon in the summer of 1880 to two men for $2,060. What happened after this is disputed but it would seem that Alexander Sumpter, Jr. used the mortgage he extended to the buyers as collateral in two promissory notes to secure loans from Fleschner. At this point Flescher is foreclosing on Alexander Sumpter, Jr's remaining interest in the mortgage paper related to the family's original donation land claim. The judge agreed. It's very interesting that this case made it all the way to the Oregon State Supreme Court. (posted by Glen)

This page discusses the account of the infamous 17th Century 'Witch of Hadley' Massachusetts. Mary Webster was indicted by a grand jury and tried as a witch. She was acquited but gained a huge reputation... She was thought to be behind the death of our 'honorable and upstanding' ancestor, Lt. Philip Smith. Most of the source material on this page is taken from the definiative work of the history of Hadley, 'The History of Hadley', written by a cousin of ours, Sylvester Judd. It was originally published in 1863.
