0. Headlines

1. Mary Rowlandson: settled, as far as print goes. Martha Rowlandson, wife of Ralph Jr., is the twin daughter of Thomas and Dorothy (Portland) Rolenson, born at Salisbury 24 Aug 1666 [D, Salisbury VR]. Hoyt prints a Salisbury estate agreement of 8 April 1706 that names "John Elenwood and Ralph Elenwood and Martha his wife" among the children of Thomas Rowlandson [D, published abstract]. Savage and Hoyt both make Thomas of Salisbury a son of Thomas Rowlandson of Ipswich and Lancaster and a brother of Rev. Joseph Rowlandson [C]. Nourse's Early Records of Lancaster lists among those killed in the Rowlandson garrison on 10 Feb 1675/6 "Thomas Rowlandson, nephew of the minister, aged 19". That is Martha's brother, born at Salisbury 5 July 1656. So Mary (White) Rowlandson was Martha's aunt by marriage, and Martha's brother died in the attack her narrative opens with. Rating: Probable (strong). One primary record naming both brothers would make it Proven. This contradicts the present files' "no connection found"; see section 5.
2. Paul Revere: confirmed as cousin of Robert Hitchborne. Cutter (1908) abstracts the will of Frances (Pattishall) Hichborn (dated 1742, proved 1749). It names her son Thomas, her son-in-law Paul Revere (the elder) and her daughter Deborah Revere. Cutter also gives Robert as the son of Thomas and Isanna (Fadre) Hichborn, baptized at the Brick Church on 28 Mar 1742. Fischer's appendix, the DAR and DFPA lineages, and Robert's naming of a son Paul Revere Hichborn (b. 1777/8) all agree. On 29 Nov 1773 Robert and Paul Revere stood guard together on the tea ship at Griffin's Wharf (Drake, Tea Leaves). Rating: Probable (strong).
3. New blood kin through Susanna Ellingwood Hitchborne (shared ancestors Capt. Israel Ellingwood and Susanna Rand):
   • Rear Adm. Philip Hichborn (1839-1910), Chief Constructor of the U.S. Navy 1893-1901 (Wikipedia), Dick's third cousin, three times removed;
   • Nathan Griffin Hichborn (1818-1874), Maine State Treasurer and a delegate to the 1860 convention that nominated Lincoln (Wikipedia), Dick's second cousin, four times removed;
   • the poet Elinor Wylie, who married the admiral's son, is an in-law.
4. New blood kin through Benjamin Ellingwood (1668), son of Ralph I and Eleanor Lynn: Henry Larcom Abbot (1831-1927), Union engineer and brevet general; Francis Ellingwood Abbot (1836-1903), philosopher; and Edwin Hale Abbot (1834-1927), railroad president (all three on Wikipedia). Their mother was Fanny Ellingwood Larcom, daughter of Henry and Fanny (Ellingwood) Larcom; her mother was born at Beverly in 1780 to William and Molly (Dane) Ellingwood. The three Abbots are Dick's sixth cousins, three times removed. Rating: Probable.
5. Leonard Ellinwood (1905-1994), musicologist and the family's genealogist, is Dick's seventh cousin, once removed, through Ralph Jr. and Martha Rowlandson's son Thomas (bapt. 1703). Rating: Probable. The same branch, through Thomas (1728) of Brimfield (his Brimfield births now read in the printed VR), gives four more figures with public standing:
   • Frank Field Ellinwood (1826-1908), Presbyterian foreign-missions secretary;
   • Everett E. Ellinwood (1862-1943), Arizona lawyer and University of Arizona chancellor;
   • his son Ralph E. Ellinwood (1893-1930), editor of the Arizona Daily Star;
   • his grandson Tom Ellinwood (1922-1995), editorial cartoonist.
6. Finley Ellingwood, new material:
   • his 1886 Bennett doctorate address, The Non-Materialistic Character of the Mind, with quotations;
   • his journal's part in the first X-ray therapy reports in Chicago (1896);
   • the 1919 preface to the American Materia Medica ("perhaps 25,000 practicing physicians");
   • a 1913 tribute;
   • the presidency of the Bennett alumni (1882).
7. The Cleora: ShipIndex has an entry "Cleora, schooner: captured by Revenge (Capt. Richard Ellingwood)". The Cleora was probably taken. The source sits behind ShipIndex's paywall and is listed under Lookups.

2. Famous kin (blood relatives)

2.1 Rear Adm. Philip Hichborn (1839-1910)

• Why notable: Chief Constructor and Chief of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Construction and Repair, 1893-1901; "prepared the United States Fleet for the Spanish American War" (Wikipedia, "Philip Hichborn"). Inventor of the Franklin life-buoy; advocate of sheathing steel hulls; author of Report on European Dock-yards (1886) and Chronology of the Hichborn Family, 1673-1891 (1891) (Cutter 1908). Buried Mount Auburn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Hichborn
• Suggested category: public (or science).
• Shared ancestors: Israel Ellingwood (Israel Ellingwood) and Susanna Rand (Susanna Rand). First step on the archive: Susanna Ellingwood (use via).
• Line:

Step	Evidence
Susanna Ellingwood (1744-1807) m. 16 July 1765 Robert Hitchborne (1740-1800)	[D] Boston births (RC 24) and marriages (RC 30: "Robert Hitchborne & Susannah Ellingwood", int. "Hichborn"/"Ellinwood"); already on Susanna Ellingwood
Philip Hichborn (c. 1768-c. 1818), cooper of Boston, master mariner	[C] Cutter vol. 2, p. 772: "son of Robert Hichborn (6), was born in Boston about 1768". Philip was part-owner of the schooner Susannah and lost a daughter in her wreck, 1798 [C, Bangor Daily News 10 Oct 2010, from the Salem Gazette list]. m. 16 Sept 1792 Betsey Hopkins [D, RC 30 p. 120]
Philip Hichborn (1805-1889), shipwright at the Charlestown Navy Yard; m. 1829 Martha Gould	[C] Cutter p. 772
Philip Hichborn (1839-1910), b. Charlestown 4 Mar 1839	[C] Cutter pp. 772-773; Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary V (1904): "to Philip and Martha (Gould) Hichborn"

• Confidence: Probable. The weakest step is Philip (c. 1768) as Robert's son. Cutter and Robert's naming pattern support it, and so does the Penobscot partnership (Philip of Boston co-owned the Susannah). Cutter does not give Philip's baptism; Boston records would settle it.
• Relationship: Dick's third cousin, three times removed (4 generations below Israel against 7).

2.2 Nathan Griffin Hichborn (1818-1874)

• Why notable: Maine State Treasurer 1865-1868; Maine House and Senate; delegate from Stockton to the 1860 Republican National Convention at Chicago (Proceedings, 1860); Temperance nominee for governor 1869; built 42 ships at Stockton; his house is on the National Register (1988). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Griffin_Hichborn ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_G._Hichborn_House
• Suggested category: public.
• Shared ancestors: Israel Ellingwood and Susanna Rand (via Susanna Ellingwood).
• Line:

Step	Evidence
Susanna Ellingwood (1744-1807) m. Robert Hitchborne	as above
Henry Hichborn (b. 2 Apr 1791, d. 18__), youngest son; returned from Boston to Prospect in 1811; m. Desiah Griffin	[C] Ruth Gray, Maine Families in 1790 vol. 3, p. 102 (search snippet: "Henry Hichborn, b 2 Apr 1791 (g.s.), son of Robert & Susannah (Ellingwood) Hichborn"); Historical Sketch of Stockton Springs (1908), c. p. 9
Nathan Griffin Hichborn, b. Prospect (Stockton) 29 May 1818	[C] Wikipedia, citing the Universalist Register 1874: "to Henry and Desiah (Griffin) Hichborn"

• Confidence: Probable. Gray vol. 3 p. 102 (full page) would make the Henry step firm.
• Relationship: Dick's second cousin, four times removed.

2.3 Leonard Webster Ellinwood (1905-1994)

• Why notable:

  • musicologist and hymnologist; Library of Congress Music Division from 1940;
  • editor of The Hymnal 1940 Companion (1949);
  • author of The History of American Church Music (1953) and The Works of Francesco Landini (1939);
  • compiler of the Dictionary of American Hymnology;
  • the family's genealogist (The Ellinwood (Ellenwood/Ellingwood) Family 1635-1963);
  • Episcopal deacon.

  No English Wikipedia article. Sources: Episcopal Church glossary, https://www.episcopalchurch.org/?p=169903 ; BnF authority record; his own sketch, Leonard 1963 pp. 365-366.

• Suggested category: writers.

• Shared ancestors: Ralph Ellingwood Jr. (Ralph Ellinwood) and Martha Rowlandson (Martha Rowlandson); so also Thomas Rowlandson and Dorothy Portland.

• Line:

Step	Evidence
Thomas Ellinwood (1703-1772), bapt. 16 May 1703	[D] Beverly VR I:123-124 "Thomas, s. Ralph and Martha, bp. May 16, 1703"; named in his father's 1741 will. Page Thomas Ellinwood
Thomas Ellinwood (1728-1804), b. Beverly 1 Aug 1728; to Woodstock, then Brimfield c. 1745	[C] Leonard p. 52 ("the only son of Thomas (1703-1772) and Abigail Wallis"). The birth is not found in the printed Beverly VR. In the Brimfield records he is "Thomas Jr." [D, Brimfield VR p. 53], which fits a father Thomas living there [I]
Dr. Daniel Ellinwood (1751-1794) of Athol	[D] Vital Records of Brimfield (1931), p. 53: "Daniel, s. Tho[ma]s Jr. and Abigail, Aug. 6, 1751"

Leonard Webster Ellinwood (1905-1994), b. Thomaston, Conn., 13 Feb 1905	[C] Leonard pp. 365-366 (autobiographical)

• Confidence: Probable. He wrote his own line with care, and Brimfield proves the third step. Athol and Worcester VRs would raise the rest to [D].
• Relationship: Dick's seventh cousin, once removed (8 generations below Ralph Jr. and Martha against 9).

2.4 Frank Field Ellinwood (1826-1908)

• Why notable:

  • Presbyterian minister; pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, Rochester;
  • corresponding secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions from 1871 (missions in China, Korea and the Philippines);
  • professor of comparative religion at New York University 1886-1904;
  • author of Oriental Religions and Christianity (1892).

2.5 Everett E. Ellinwood (1862-1943), his son Ralph Everett Ellinwood (1893-1930) and grandson Tom Ellinwood (1922-1995)

• Why notable:
  • Everett E.: U.S. District Attorney for Arizona Territory 1893-98; Commissioner for Uniform Laws 1897-1911; member of the Arizona Constitutional Convention 1910; Chancellor of the University of Arizona 1923-27 and president of its Board of Regents 1937-41; president of Phoenix National Bank. He was chief counsel for Phelps Dodge in the Bisbee Deportation era; that part is from memory and not checked here. Sources: Leonard pp. 245-246; Who Was Who II; NYT obituary 9 Aug 1943.
  • Ralph E.: an American Field Service ambulance driver, captured by the Germans in 1918; author of Behind the German Lines (1920); joint owner and editor of the Arizona Daily Star from 1921 (Leonard p. 338; Who Was Who I).
  • Tom: editorial cartoonist and executive editor of the Arizona Daily Star; Cow Country (1959). Leonard pp. 374-375; JFK Library holds a cartoon, https://jfk.artifacts.archives.gov/people/9430/tom-ellinwood

• Coincidence of names only: Everett's son and grandson carry "Ralph Everett", as Cudge and Dick carry "Richard Everett". There is no evidence the names are connected.

2.6 Truman Jeremiah Ellinwood (1830-1921)

• Why notable: private stenographer to Henry Ward Beecher 1858-1887, reporting his sermons; after Beecher's death he edited several volumes of them (Leonard pp. 275-276; Who Was Who I:365).

2.8 Henry Larcom Abbot (1831-1927), Edwin Hale Abbot (1834-1927), Francis Ellingwood Abbot (1836-1903)

• Why notable (all three on Wikipedia):
  • Henry Larcom Abbot: Army engineer; Mississippi River survey with A. A. Humphreys; brevet major general of volunteers and brigadier general in the Regular Army; consultant on the Panama Canal locks; National Academy of Sciences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Larcom_Abbot
  • Edwin Hale Abbot: counsel in the Alabama Claims; president of the Wisconsin Central Railway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hale_Abbot
  • Francis Ellingwood Abbot: philosopher of "free religion", editor of The Index; praised by Frederick Douglass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ellingwood_Abbot
• Suggested categories: Henry: science (or public); Edwin: public; Francis: writers.
• Shared ancestors: Ralph Ellingwood I (Ralph Ellinwood) and Eleanor Lynn (Eleanor Lynn). Full cousins: Benjamin and Ralph Jr. are both Eleanor's sons.
• Line:

Step	Evidence
Benjamin Ellinwood (1668-1731), "coaster of Beverly"	[D] Beverly VR "Benjamin, s. Ralph and Ellen, bp. 17:3m:1668"; Ralph I's will names Benjamin (Hoyt p. 307 n.). Page Benjamin Ellinwood
William Ellinwood (1691-1773) m. Abigail Woodbury	[D] Beverly VR "William, s. Benjamin and Mary, Nov. 1, 1691"
either Joshua (1721-1794) m. Joanna Ober or William (1716-1766) m. Elizabeth Woodbury	[D] Beverly VR (both "s. William and Abbigall")
William Ellingwood, m. Molly Dane of Ipswich (int. 16 June 1776)	[D] Beverly VR II:109. Which William is open. Leonard (p. 56) says only "one of the children of this generation named William". The candidates are William b. 6 Jan 1748/9 (s. Joshua and Joanna) [D, Beverly VR] and William b. 2 May 1758 (s. William and Elizabeth), a Revolutionary pensioner who died 14 Aug 1838 aged 80 [C, Leonard]. Both descend from William (1691)
Fanny (Phanny) Ellingwood, b. Beverly 27 Apr 1780	[D] Beverly VR I:124 "Phanny [Fanny, c.r.1], d. William and Molly, Apr. 27, 1780"; sister Molly b. 25 July 1777
Fanny Ellingwood "of Hamilton" m. 27 Nov 1800, Henry Larcom(e) of Beverly, master mariner	[D] Hamilton VR p. 54; Beverly VR II:108 (int. 13 July 1800). That this is the 1780 Fanny is [I], supported by three things. Her sister "Polly" (Molly) Ellingwood was also of Hamilton (int. with Luke Dodge of Groton, 22 June 1798, Hamilton VR p. 54). Hamilton was the Danes' parish. And see the next row
Fanny Ellingwood Larcom, b. Beverly 14 June 1807; m. 13 May 1830 Joseph Hale Abbot	[C] Essex Institute Hist. Coll. 67 (1931), p. 27: "the daughter of Henry and Fanny (Ellingwood) Larcom, and grandniece of Nathan Dane"; Stanley H. Abbott, Family Tree of Ezra Abbot (archive.org familytreeofezra00abbo, leaf 61). Marriage [D] Beverly VR II:15. "Grandniece of Nathan Dane" makes her grandmother Molly a sister of Nathan Dane, which fits Molly Dane of Ipswich [I]
Henry Larcom Abbot (b. Beverly 13 Aug 1831), Edwin Hale Abbot (b. Beverly 26 Jan 1834), Francis Ellingwood Abbot (b. Boston 6 Nov 1836)	[C] American National Biography (sons of Joseph Hale Abbot and Fanny Ellingwood Larcom); Daedalus 70 (1936), p. 493; Ezra Abbot family tree

• Confidence: Probable. The father of Fanny (1780) is unsettled between the two Williams; that does not change the shared ancestors. What would settle it: the pension file of William Ellingwood (d. 1838), Hamilton records of William and Molly, and Molly Dane's birth.
• Relationship: Dick's sixth cousins, three times removed (7 generations below Ralph I and Eleanor against 10). If you show only one, Henry Larcom Abbot has the strongest public standing; Francis Ellingwood Abbot carries the surname as his middle name.

2.9 Minor: Rev. John Wallace Ellingwood (1782-c.1860), of Bath, Maine

• Silversmith-watchmaker turned minister; Andover Seminary 1812; pastor of the North Church of Bath, Maine, ordained 4 Nov 1812, for over 25 years, with sermons in print (Leonard p. 133, citing Owen 1936 and Reed 1894).
• Line: Benjamin (1668) > William (1691) > Joshua (1721) > Capt. Joshua (1750, privateer master)

  John Wallace (1782). Beverly VR for the first three [D]; Leonard for the last two [C].

• Relationship: Dick's fourth cousin, five times removed.
• Category: close or public. Possibly not worth a card.

3. In-laws

3.1 Paul Revere (1734/5-1818)

• Why notable: silversmith and patriot, the midnight ride of 1775.
• Category: public. In-law; not a blood relative.
• The link:

Step	Evidence
Thomas Hichborn (1673-1731) m. Frances Pattishall	[C] Cutter, Genealogical and Personal Memoirs ... Boston and Eastern Massachusetts (1908) vol. 2, p. 771
Their children Deborah (b. 25 Jan 1703/4), mother of Paul Revere, and Thomas (b. 30 June 1708)	[D] Boston Births (RC 24): Deborah p. 22, Thomas p. 56 ("Thomas Son of Thoms. Hetchbon and Frances his Wife"). [D, published abstract] Cutter p. 771 abstracts Frances's will (10 Sept 1742, proved 26 Dec 1749). She "appointed her son Thomas and sons-in-law Paul Revere and Philip Merritt executors" and made bequests "to son Thomas ... to daughter Deborah Revere". Proven: Thomas (1708) was Deborah's brother
Thomas Hichborn (1708-1776/7) m. 14 Jan 1733/4 Isanna (Hannah) Fadre	[D] Boston marriage index (FS FHQW-58N, via WikiTree); Cutter p. 772: "Isanna Hichborn owned the covenant at the Brick Church, March 21, 1741-42, and her children were baptized there ... Children: 1. Robert, baptized March 28, 1742"
Robert Hitchborne (b. 20 Nov 1740; bapt. 28 Mar 1742; d. 18 Oct 1800)	[C] Cutter p. 772; Fischer, Paul Revere's Ride (1994), appendix "The Hitchborn Family", after Leehey 1988; DAR A054786; DFPA Lineage Book 11 (1923), no. 928; Adm. Philip Hichborn, Chronology (1891): "That Thomas, with wife Isannah, then had son Robert, born in Boston in 1740" (as quoted on heirloomsreunited.com)

• Support from naming [I]: Robert's sons included Paul Revere Hichborn (b. Boston 1777/8, d. 1861/2) [C, Ellis 1955 p. 27; DFPA no. 928], and he had a daughter Deborah.
• Confidence: Probable (strong). It becomes Proven with the Brick Church baptism, or with the 1777 Suffolk probate of Dea. Thomas Hichborn naming his son Robert.
• Exact relationship wording: "Paul Revere was a first cousin of Robert Hitchborne, husband of Susanna Ellingwood, sister of Richard Ellingwood (1742/3)." In Dick's terms Robert was his fourth great-granduncle by marriage, so Revere was the first cousin of the husband of Dick's fourth great-grandaunt. Short form for a card: "Cousin of Susanna Ellingwood's husband".

New about Robert Hitchborne (adds to the research file):

• Tea-ship watch, 29 Nov 1773. The town meeting set an armed watch of about 25 men on the Dartmouth at Griffin's Wharf to stop the tea being landed. The list for 29 Nov, "Captain, Edward Proctor", includes "Paul Revere", "Jonathan Stodder" and "Robert Hitchborn" [D, Drake, Tea Leaves (1884), p. xlvi; also p. xlix: "Robert Hitchborn was a cooper, on Anne Street, in 1789"]. https://archive.org/details/tealeavesbeingco00drakrich . His company captain of 1776, Jonathan Stoddard, stood the same watch [I: Stodder = Stoddard]. The tradition that Robert was "a member of the Boston Tea Party" (16 Dec) is [T/C] (DFPA 1923; Ellis 1955). The watch is the documented part.

• Revolutionary service: "Hitchbourn, Robert. 1st Lieutenant, Capt. Jonathan Stoddard's (Ward No. 5) co., Col. Henry Bromfield's (Boston) regt. of Mass. militia ... commissioned Nov. 25, 1776" [D, Mass. Soldiers and Sailors VII:956 in the archive.org copy].

• Penobscot:

  • Robert bought out the Goldthwaite and Bernard heirs at Cape Jellison on 6 May 1789, and sold an undivided half to the Lincoln County land committee on 9 June 1789 [C, Ellis 1955 p. 26].
  • He bought the peninsula in 1791, built a large house and ran packets to Boston carrying timber, fish and game.
  • He brought Edward Kneeland from Boston in 1792 to work the farm.
  • He was "the first to sleep" in the cemetery lot he gave the settlement [C, Historical Sketch of Stockton Springs (1908), c. pp. 8-10].
  • Sons Paul Revere, Robert Jr. and William stayed in Maine; "when the mother returned with the other children to Boston" [same].

• The Susannah:

  • built at Bangor and launched 1793, 68 ft;
  • owners John Lord of Boston, "Robert Hichborn of Frankfort, 1793", "Philip Hichborn of Boston" and "Robert Hichborn of Prospect, 1795";
  • wrecked off Cape Ann 18 Oct 1798, no survivors;
  • among the dead: "Capt. Daniel Jamison of Penobscot; Robert Treat Jr. of Penobscot; Robert Hichborn's daughters, Susannah of Penobscot and Eliza of Boston; and Philip Hichborn's daughter, Sarah"; also Seth Noble Jr., son of Bangor's founding minister.

  [C, Bangor Daily News, 10 Oct 2010, from the Salem Gazette in Fogler Library] https://www.bangordailynews.com/2010/10/10/living/the-susannah-much-more-than-a-ship-built-in-bangor/ . Cutter p. 772 has the family version: "one of whom was on her way to Boston to buy her wedding dress" [T].

• Children baptized at the Brick Church: Robert Jr. 25 Jan 1767; Hannah 2 Dec 1767; William; and Susannah, 14 Mar 1773 [C, Cutter]. Also Philip, Paul Revere, Henry (b. 2 Apr 1791), Deborah, Harriet and Eliza.

• Robert's brothers: Benjamin Hichborn (1746-1817), Harvard 1768, lawyer and colonel of militia, and Samuel (b. 1752), a silversmith apprenticed to Paul Revere [C, Cutter; Fischer]. As in-laws of Susanna, Benjamin could get a line on Revere's card. He was the courier whose capture in 1775 exposed John Adams's "intercepted letters" (from memory, not checked here).

3.2 Mary (White) Rowlandson (c. 1637-1711)

• Why notable: author of The Sovereignty and Goodness of God (1682), the first published American captivity narrative.
• Category: writers. In-law; not a blood relative.
• The link:

Step	Evidence
Thomas Rowlandson Sr. ("Rolenson", "Rawlinson") of Ipswich 1637; freeman 2 May 1638; to Lancaster c. 1655; d. there 17 Nov 1657	[C] Savage III:582; Hoyt p. 306-307; Marvin, History of Lancaster (1879), names "Thomas Rowlandson, the father of the minister" among the dead fathers of the town. In 1648-50 "Thomas Rolinson, sr." was freed from training "on account of age" [D, EQC I:143, 188]. He married (2), after 1643, Bridget, widow of Robert Mussey [D, Essex Probate I:32: "Brigitt, wife of Thomas Rowlison, late wife of Robert Mussey", 1648]
Sons Thomas (Jr.) of Salisbury and Rev. Joseph (c. 1631-1678), H.C. 1652, first minister of Lancaster, husband of Mary White	[C] Savage III:581-582: Joseph "s. of Thomas"; Thomas of Salisbury "s. of the preced[ing]". Hoyt pp. 306-307 lists Thomas, Elizabeth (m. Dea. Richard Wells, then John Harris), Martha (m. John Eaton) and Joseph as Thomas Sr.'s children. Circumstantial [D]: in July 1651 Joseph Rowlison, then a Harvard student, confessed authorship of a libel posted at Ipswich, and "Thomas Rolandson" stood his surety (EQC I:234-235). "Thomas Rolinson, jr." appears in 1651 (EQC I:233)
Martha Rowlandson, b. Salisbury 24 Aug 1666, twin daughter of Thomas Jr. and Dorothy (Portland)	[D] Vital Records of Salisbury p. 211: "Martha, d. twin, Tho[mas] and Dorethi, 24 : 6 m : 1666." Marriage of Thomas Roleson and Dorethie Portland, 17 May 1654 (p. 470). Thomas d. 7 July 1682 (p. 612)
Martha = wife of Ralph Ellingwood Jr.	[D, published abstract] Hoyt p. 307 note: "In an agreement about the est. of Thomas Rowlandson, signed April 8, 1706, by wid. Sarah Bond and Samuel Joy, of S., (in right as purchaser of J. Blodgett and Mary his wife), 'John Elenwood and Ralph Elenwood and Martha his wife,' are given as children of Thomas Rowlandson."
Martha's brother Thomas (b. Salisbury 5 July 1656) was killed at the Rowlandson garrison, Lancaster, 10 Feb 1675/6	[D] birth, Salisbury VR p. 211. [C] Nourse, Early Records of Lancaster (1884), p. 104: "Killed in Rowlandson Garrison ... Thomas Rowlandson, nephew of the minister, aged 19"; p. ~324: "Thomas Rowlandson, aged nineteen years, nephew of Reverend Joseph." Hoyt p. 307: "killed by Indians in the attack upon his uncle's house"

• Confidence: Probable (strong) that Rev. Joseph was Martha's uncle. Three independent compilers (Savage 1861, Hoyt 1897, Nourse 1884) agree. The 1676 casualty lists make the dead Salisbury nephew aged 19, which matches Thomas Jr.'s son exactly. The father-son link Thomas Sr. to Thomas Jr. is not in a primary record I could read. What would settle it: the estate papers of Thomas Rowlandson Sr. (d. Lancaster 1657, Middlesex probate) naming sons Thomas and Joseph, or an Ipswich deed between them.
• Exact relationship wording:
  • "Mary (White) Rowlandson was the aunt by marriage of Martha (Rowlandson) Ellingwood, wife of Ralph Ellingwood Jr.: her husband, Rev. Joseph Rowlandson, was the brother of Martha's father, Thomas Rowlandson of Salisbury."
  • In Dick's terms: Rev. Joseph was his eighth great-granduncle, and Mary his eighth great-grandaunt by marriage.
  • Short form: "Aunt by marriage of Martha Rowlandson".
• Rev. Joseph Rowlandson as a card: "close" category. He is a blood relative, an eighth great-granduncle, and gets a sex: male "granduncle" line from the shared ancestor Thomas Rowlandson Sr. That needs a page for Thomas Sr. (none yet).
• Mary's narrative and Salisbury [D, the narrative, Gutenberg #851]: after the ransom, in the search for their children, Joseph Rowlandson "was not willing to stay [at Newbury] that night, but would go over to Salisbury, to hear further, and come again in the morning, which he did, and preached there that day." That night news came that their daughter "was come in at Providence." Why Salisbury: his brother Thomas's family lived there [I].
• Correction to Marvin: Marvin (1879) calls the Thomas who fell "brother of the minister". Nourse's later list corrects this to "nephew". The narrative's "my brother-in-law (being before wounded ... in or near the throat) fell down dead" is not Thomas. Do not identify that man with Thomas.

3.3 Elinor Wylie (1885-1928)

• Why notable: poet and novelist (Nets to Catch the Wind, The Venetian Glass Nephew). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Wylie
• Category: writers. In-law.
• Link: she married first, in Dec 1906, Philip Simmons Hichborn (1882-1912), son of Rear Adm. Philip Hichborn (2.1). Cutter p. 773: "Philip S., born at Philadelphia, September 30, 1882; married, at Washington, D.C., 1907, Elinor Hoyt; son Philip, born 1907, at Washington" [C].
• Relationships:
  • Philip Simmons Hichborn is a great-great-grandson of Susanna Ellingwood and Dick's fourth cousin, twice removed.
  • Their son Philip Simmons Hichborn Jr. (b. 22 Sept 1907) is Dick's fifth cousin, once removed.
• Wording: "Elinor Wylie was the wife of Philip Simmons Hichborn, great-great-grandson of Susanna (Ellingwood) Hitchborne."
• Confidence: Probable, resting on 2.1.

3.4 Nathan Dane (1752-1835), for a Small world note rather than a card

• Fanny Ellingwood Larcom is called "grandniece of Nathan Dane" (Essex Inst. Hist. Coll. 67:27; Ezra Abbot tree). Daedalus (1936) wrongly says "granddaughter". So Molly Dane, who married William Ellingwood in 1776, was a sister of Nathan Dane: delegate to the Continental Congress, drafter of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, founder of Harvard's Dane professorship [C].
• This links to a distant Ellingwood cousin, not to Dick's line. Possible to Probable.

4. Notable lives on the direct line: new material

4.1 Martha Rowlandson's family (for Ralph Jr.'s chapter and a possible Small world story)

• Siblings [D, Salisbury VR pp. 210-211, 470, 612]:

  • Elizabeth, 7 June 1654 (d. 29 July 1655);
  • Thomas, 5 July 1656;
  • Sarah, 5 Aug 1658 (m. 5 Dec 1684 Nicholas Bond);
  • Elizabeth, 26 Feb 1660/1 (m. John Ellingwood, 1684/5);
  • Joseph, 18 Feb 1663/4, a cordwainer, d. by 28 Sept 1694, when his mother administered;
  • Mary and Martha, twins, 24 Aug 1666 (Mary m. 7 Feb 1687/8 Jonathan Blodgett);
  • John, 20 Mar 1667/8;
  • Ann, 16 Mar 1668/9.

• Two brothers married two sisters: John Ellingwood married Elizabeth (1684/5) and Ralph Jr. married Martha (1691) [D]. Martha "of Beverly" in 1691 was probably living near her married sister at Bass River [I].

• Births out of wedlock [D, Salisbury VR pp. 210-211, 612]. Both are in the town record and should be handled with ordinary care on a page:

  • "Charitie, d. Elizabeth [Rolandson], 18:12m:1683" (18 Feb 1683/4), eleven months before Elizabeth married John Ellingwood;
  • "Sam[ue]ll, s. Martha [Rolenson], Jan. 12, 1686 [1687]", who died Jan. 20, 1687 ("Jan. 26, 1686, ct. r."), four and a half years before Martha married Ralph.

  The court presentments should be in EQC IX (1683-1686) or the Norfolk/Essex court files; not read here.

• Her father's first marriage was annulled. "Thomas Rolinson, proven impotent, on complaint of his wife, was to take counsel of physicians forthwith" [D, EQC I:221, Sept 1651]. In 1657 William Beale sued "Tho. Roulandson. For wrong done his wife under pretence of marriage, taking away her good name" [D, EQC II:59, Salem 24 Nov 1657]. In 1670 William and Martha Beale petitioned "Whereas by Reson of a nullitie of Marriage betwixt Thomas Rowlandson ye guilty & Martha Bradstrete ye innocent, Som persons Take ockacion To abuse us". A Marblehead neighbor had called Goody Beale an adulteress who "had another husband aliue" [D, EQC IV:269-270]. Hoyt's additions identify the husband as Martha's father [C]. That fits the dates: Thomas Jr. married Dorothy Portland in 1654, while his father was too old for training [I].

  • The parallel with Ralph Jr.'s own annulment for "insufficiency" (EQC VIII:356-357, 1682) is striking: father and son-in-law each had a first marriage annulled on the same ground.

• Her parents in court:

  • 1674-1676: "Tho. Rolenson, presented at Hampton court in 1674, for charging the pastor of the church at Salisbury with inhumanity and speaking other unseemly speeches, was sentenced to be publicly admonished". "Tho. Rolenson was in open court admonished upon a lecture day and reproved for his sin in charging his pastor, Mr. Wheelwright, with inhuman actions"; John Eaton (his sister's husband) was bound with him [D, EQC VI:23-24]. The pastor was Rev. John Wheelwright, the Antinomian exile of 1637.
  • 1677: "Dorethie Rolenson, for stealing from Mr. Wm. Bradbury to the value of 20s." was ordered to pay treble damages or be whipped ten stripes [D, EQC VI:265]. Mr. William Bradbury was husband of Mary (Perkins) Bradbury, condemned as a witch in 1692 [I/C].
  • Thomas's will, 7 July 1682 (proved 21 Sept 1682), names "son Joseph and four daus., without giving names" [C, Hoyt; Savage].

• Name carried on: Rowlandson Ellinwood (1742-1797) of Amherst, N.H. (later Deering). Leonard makes him "presumably" a son of Ebenezer (1697) and Sarah Tuck, "for he was given his paternal grandmother's maiden name" [C, Leonard pp. 49-50]. That would make him a grandson of Ralph Jr. and Martha. The name is evidence for her surname, not for her Salisbury origin.

• Martha's dates: alive 8 Apr 1706 [D abstract]. The archive's "died 1712" (from the Ancestry tree) has no source. Her birth, 24 Aug 1666 at Salisbury, can move from compiled/possible to documented.

4.2 Richard Ellingwood (1742/3-1784) and the Cleora

• ShipIndex.org has two citations for "Cleora, schooner (Capt. Richard Ellingwood)" and "Cleora, schooner: captured by Revenge (Capt. Richard Ellingwood)"; the source titles are behind its paywall. https://www.shipindex.org/ships/cleora
  • So the Cleora was very probably taken by a vessel named Revenge, probably a British or Loyalist cruiser in the West Indies, after June 1777 [C, index only].
  • That fits the gap in Richard's record from 1777 to 1782, when his wife was licensed to retail in Cross Street [I].
  • Probably from Naval Documents of the American Revolution vols. 9-11 (index "Cleora"), or a Vice-Admiralty prize list. NDAR vol. 9 could not be fetched (navy.mil returned 503 and has a broken certificate chain).
• Nothing else new found for Richard. Searches of archive.org full text for "Cleora" 1777 returned only 19th-century vessels.

4.3 Dr. Finley Ellingwood (1852-1920): additions

• 1882, Bennett College Alumni Association. At the meeting at the Palmer House, Chicago, "Findley Ellingwood, M.D., Manteno, Ill." was elected a vice-president and read "The Eclectic System". The report adds: "The conservative views of President Ellingwood are well worthy of careful attention" [D, California Medical Journal 3:6 (June 1882), pp. 282-283]. He was outgoing alumni president at 29.

• 1886 doctorate address, delivered at the Bennett commencement on 23 Mar 1886 and printed as The Non-Materialistic Character of the Mind (16 pp.; NLM copy, archive.org 101176302.nlm.nih.gov). A new title, not in the research file's list of works. Quotations (public domain):

  • "Man, then, is the study of the physician."

  • Against materialism: "Carlysle said it was the belief of Cabanis that the brain secreted mind, as the liver does bile. If so, then when the secreting organ is dead, the product is dead also."

  • "That which you learn, learn well; it is better that you know a few things well, than that you should be only carelessly informed on many topics. Glean good from every source. Apply all you learn, and learn to apply."

  • To graduates who had struggled: "Keep your eye on the silver side of the cloud ... Adversity is the fire test of a young man's character, and if he passes through it resolutely, it will develop the good material there is in him, and bring out the pure gold of his character."

    He had supported his widowed mother's family from age 19. The link is [I].

• 1896, early X-ray therapy. H. Preston Pratt, "Experiments in X-Ray Therapy in 1896", American X-Ray Journal 12:4 (Apr 1903), pp. 115-118 (archive.org sim_american-journal-of-progressive-therapeutics_1903-04_12_4) [D]:

  • the experiments began in February 1896 "under the auspices of Bennett Medical College";
  • "The Chicago Medical Times of March, 1896, was the first medical journal, as far as I am aware, to publish any of our experimental work". JAMA and other Chicago journals had refused the reports as premature;
  • Ellingwood edited the Times. He examined the sputum of a tuberculosis patient ("both found the bacilli of tuberculosis in it. They gave a very unfavorable prognosis");
  • he reported the cases in the Chicago Medical Times of July and Sept 1896, noting "an increase in secretion of urine ... and ... an active exhalation of hydrogen sulphide with the breath after the first half hour of treatment";
  • in Oct 1896 he referred a patient with tuberculosis of the kidney for X-ray treatment.

  Röntgen had announced the rays only in Dec 1895 to Jan 1896.

• 1905, NEMA secretary. "The Boston District Eclectic Medical Society on the evening of Jan. 9th tendered Prof. Finley Ellingwood, secretary of our National association, a banquet at the Thorndike" [D, Eclectic Review 8 (1905), p. 50]. He was also chairman of the NEMA Committee on Organization and Status (p. 69).

• 1913, a tribute from H. Vandre, M.D., of San Francisco, "The Correlation of Forces in Materia Medica Therapeutics", read before the California Eclectic Medical Society: "To Ellingwood we are indebted for most of our rich and incomparable materia medica—to the Lloyds for our elegant Eclectic pharmaceutical standards" [D, California Eclectic Medical Journal 6:9 (Sept 1913)]. The same issue prints Ellingwood's own "Eclectic Uses of Erythroxylon Coca" (p. 217).

• 1919, American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy (Chicago: Ellingwood's Therapeutist; archive.org b31352868), with a section on pharmacy by John Uri Lloyd.

  • Title page: "Late Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in Bennett Medical College, Chicago; Professor of Chemistry in Bennett Medical College 1884-1898". The research file says chemistry "to 1900"; this is a conflict to note.
  • Preface quotations:
    • "the foreign supply of drugs of every kind has been cut off so fully by the European war, that American physicians have their attention forced upon American products";
    • "In this work every statement has been weighed";
    • "it is a presumption of the highest order to believe that one man alone could accomplish it. This is a one-man work only in very small part. This book contains the results of the observations of perhaps 25,000 practicing physicians."
  • Preface to the 11th edition: he wishes "to lead the profession, as a whole, out of the present confusion of Pharmaceutical and Therapeutic doubt".

• Advertising: the Chicago Medical Times, "Edited by Dr. Finley Ellingwood, author of Ellingwood's Materia Medica and Therapeutics ... Send 30 cents in Stamps at once and get THE TIMES Four Months on Trial" ran in Suggestion, a Chicago journal of suggestive therapeutics, c. 1899-1900 [D, archive.org IAPSOP-suggestion_v4_adverts].

• Scholarly mention: John S. Haller, Medical Protestants: The Eclectics in American Medicine, 1825-1939 (1994), quotes Ellingwood's estimates as NEMA secretary and his remark that most eclectics had become something (snippet cut off). The book is a lending-library item; read it for quotation [C].

• Still unverified: Wikipedia's "vocal advocate of women physicians". Bennett admitted women (its alumni treasurer in 1882 was "Mrs. S. K. Whitford, M.D."), but no statement by Ellingwood was found.

---

5. Conflicts with the present research files (raise with Jordan; nothing changed)

1. Ellingwood_Master_Family_Tree.md, Part Eight ("Rowlandson"), says: "No connection found to Rev. Joseph Rowlandson of Lancaster." The page Martha Rowlandson says the same; ellingwood-ch2-research.md says "Lead cooling".
   • Against that: Hoyt's 1706 agreement (Martha a daughter of Thomas Rowlandson of Salisbury), Savage and Hoyt (Thomas a brother of Rev. Joseph), and Nourse (Thomas's son killed as "nephew of the minister").
   • Proposed reading: Probable. Martha's parentage: Proven on Hoyt's quotation of the 1706 agreement, pending sight of the original.
2. Martha Rowlandson: birth 24 Aug 1666, Salisbury, can become documented (Salisbury VR p. 211). "Died 1712" has no source; she was living 8 Apr 1706.
3. Research file, section 4 (Israel), notable children, Susanna: Robert Hitchborne's birth. The DFPA's "Mch. 28, 1742" is his baptism (Cutter); 20 Nov 1740 is the birth date given by Ellis (1955), the DAR index and his gravestone record. The Revere cousinship can go from Probable to Probable (strong). The Deborah-Thomas sibling step is now Proven (Frances Hichborn's will, as abstracted).
4. Finley's chemistry chair: 1884-1898 (his 1919 title page) against "to 1900" (research file).
5. Leonard Ellinwood (1963), p. 17-18, lists Ralph III's children (Israel, Ralph 1716, Daniel and the rest) under Ralph II, and calls Sarah Woodbury Ralph II's third wife. Already ruled (decisions.md). Beverly VR I:123 supports the ruling. It gives "Israel, s. Ralph [jr. c.r.1] and Sarah, Sept. 29, 1714", and the church record's "jr." marks Ralph III [D].

---

6. Lookups needing Ancestry, FamilySearch, a library or a subscription

1. Thomas Rowlandson's estate, Salisbury, 1682-1706.

   • the will of 7 July 1682 (Essex probate; the printed Essex Probate Records stop at 1681);
   • the agreement of 8 Apr 1706 quoted by Hoyt (probably Essex or Old Norfolk deeds; FamilySearch deed images);
   • Dorothy's administration of her son Joseph's estate, 28 Sept 1694.

   This would make Martha's parentage [D] at first hand.

2. Thomas Rowlandson Sr.'s estate, Lancaster, d. 17 Nov 1657: Middlesex County probate (FamilySearch), for sons Thomas and Joseph by name. This is the record that would prove the Mary Rowlandson link.

3. EQC vol. IX (1683-1686; salem.lib.virginia.edu, not on archive.org) and later Essex court files: presentments of Elizabeth Rolandson (Charity, Feb 1683/4) and Martha Rolenson (Samuel, Jan 1686/7).

4. New Brick Church (Boston) baptisms: Robert Hichborn, 28 Mar 1742, and his children, 1767-1773.

5. Suffolk Probate:

   • will of Frances Hichborn (dated 10 Sept 1742, proved 26 Dec 1749), to read the original;
   • estate of Dea. Thomas Hichborn (d. 16 June 1777), for the son Robert.

6. Hancock County probate of Robert Hichborn (proved 2 Nov 1801; WikiTree reads its beneficiaries) and the gravestone at Mount Recluse Cemetery, Stockton Springs (Find a Grave 5395962; returns 403 here).

7. Salem Gazette, late Oct 1798 (GenealogyBank or America's Historical Newspapers): the Susannah wreck list.

8. Revere Family Papers (MHS): letters from Robert Hichborn to Paul Revere (one is said to describe his state after the 1798 wreck).

9. Adm. Philip Hichborn, Chronology of the Hichborn Family, 1673-1891 (1891): a library copy.

10. ShipIndex (subscription) for the source of "Cleora ... captured by Revenge". Then NDAR vols. 9-11, or TNA HCA 32 prize papers, for the capture.

11. Pension file of William Ellingwood (b. 1758, d. 14 Aug 1838) on Fold3, with Hamilton and Ipswich records of William and Molly (Dane) Ellingwood. These settle which William was the Abbot brothers' great-grandfather. Also Molly Dane's birth (daughter of Daniel Dane and Abigail Burnham?).

12. Ruth Gray, Maine Families in 1790 vol. 3, p. 102 (Griffin family): full page for Henry Hichborn and his children.

13. Athol, Worcester and Thomaston records for Leonard Ellinwood's line (James 1781, Daniel 1814, Daniel Webster 1847, George Francis 1873, Leonard 1905), and Leonard's 1994 obituary.

14. Boston baptism or birth of Philip Hichborn (c. 1768), son of Robert and Susanna.

15. Chicago Medical Times, March, July and September 1896 (Lloyd Library or HathiTrust): Finley's X-ray reports, to quote him directly.

16. Haller, Medical Protestants (archive.org lending copy): the passages quoting Ellingwood.

7. Checked and ruled out (or left unlinked)

• Albert R. Ellingwood (1887-1934), mountaineer (Ellingwood Point, Ellingwood Arete), Rhodes Scholar, assistant dean at Northwestern; died at Evanston.
  • Son of Francis L. Ellingwood and Amanda Priscilla Russell of Cedar Rapids. Leonard (pp. 377-378) places him only in the appendix of unconnected individuals, and no source found places his father.
  • No line: a namesake, not a connection. Leonard's general belief that "all persons using the names ... trace back to the single immigrant" is opinion, not evidence.
  • Small-world aside: he taught at Northwestern from 1927 and died in Evanston, where Finley's family had lived. No link known.
• Bruce R. Ellingwood (structural engineer; Wikipedia): living; no line. Not pursued.
• Herbert E. Ellingwood (Reagan's legal affairs secretary, chairman of the Merit Systems Protection Board 1981-): no line found. Namesake.
• John R. Ellinwood (1838-1910), Santa Fe Railroad chief engineer, for whom Ellinwood, Kansas is named. Leonard (pp. 184-186, 258-259) says only that his father John M. was "likely" a son of James and grandson of Ralph (1756-1836). That Ralph descends from Benjamin (1728), son of a David whom Leonard could not identify (p. 21). Possible at best; not shown.
• Charles Norman Ellinwood (1834-1917), Rush M.D. 1858 and San Francisco physician; Charles Marvin Ellinwood, Nebraska Wesleyan acting chancellor, removed 1898 for misappropriation; and James Lee Ellenwood (1891-1959), New York State YMCA secretary and author of books on family life. All descend from Benjamin (1728-1775), "son of David and his second wife, Margaret Wallis". Leonard could not say which David (the son of John and Elizabeth Rowlison, bapt. 1696, or another). Possible; not linked. If it is John's son David, these lines would also descend from Thomas Rowlandson and Dorothy Portland.
• Henry S. Ellenwood (b. 1791), author of The Vagabond (1823): Leonard says only "probably the son of Joshua (1750)". Possible; minor.
• Isaac L. Ellwood and Reuben Ellwood (Wikipedia): different surname; nothing links them.
• Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827), the English caricaturist: namesake only.
• "Thomas Rowlandson, brother of the minister" (Marvin 1879) as the man killed at the garrison: Disproven. He was the minister's nephew (Nourse 1884; Hoyt 1897; Salisbury VR birth 1656).
• "Robert Hitchborn, member of the Boston Tea Party" (16 Dec 1773): tradition only (DFPA 1923; Ellis 1955). The documented service is the tea-ship watch of 29 Nov 1773.
• "Robert Hichborn b. 28 Mar 1742" (DFPA 1923): that is the baptism date. The birth date of 20 Nov 1740 is unconfirmed by a record seen here.
• Daedalus (1936)'s "granddaughter of Nathan Dane" for Fanny Ellingwood (Larcom) Abbot is wrong. She was a grandniece (Essex Inst. Hist. Coll. 1931; Ezra Abbot family tree).
• Wikipedia's claim that Finley was a "vocal advocate of women physicians": still unverified (see 4.3).
