      The Diary of Master Joseph Tate of Somersworth, NH
      From a Manuscript in the Possession of the New England Historic Genealogical Society

      The town of Somersworth, NH, was set off from Dover and incorporated as a separate town on 23 April 1754. It included at that time the territory of the present towns of Somersworth and Rollinsford, having been set off and incorporated on 3 July 1849. The so-called "Diary" of Master Tate is a record which was kept by an early schoolmaster of Somersworth, who lived in that part of the town which is now Rollinsford. His name first appears in the records of Somersworth on 6 April 1752, while Somersworth was still only a parish, the entry under that date reading: "voted Mr Joseph Tate twenty three Pounds old Tenor to keep ye the Parish School one year." His exact term of service as a teacher is not known, but in his later years he was a town charge, lived with the family of Capt Maurice Hobbs, and on his death was buried on the Hobbs farm. The "Diary" supplies some information about his wife and children.

      In this "Diary" Master Tate entered the family records of the inhabitants of Somersworth from about 1740 to the middle of the Revolutionary War. He gave the names of parents, with the birth records ot their chilren, and also many marriage and death records. He inserted items of local historical interest and various entries of a miscellaneous character, such as anecdotes, verses, humns, etc, which were for the most part copied from almanacs and nespapers of the day.

This is my database of people I have researched during the course of compiling my own genealogy and family history. My primary interests include the following. Families from Charlotte County New Brunswick -William Johnson and Annabella Simpson -Robert Carroll and Sarah Ann Greer -William McCrum and Jane Hall -James Hewitt and Nancy Montgomery -Samuel Johnson and Sarah Greenlaw -James Simpson and Ann Gray -Andrew Greer and wife [] Seeley and second wife Matilda Pendleton Leeman -James Hewitt and James O'Neill, including his apparent father Adam Hewitt -William Montgomery and Mary Ann Creighton The Johnson family has roots in Whitefield (Balltown), Maine, and Barrington, New Hampshire. Samuel Johnson and Lydia Remick of Balltown were married in Pownalborough and settled in the frontier plantation of Balltown shortly before the Revolution. Samuel John was a Continental soldier, serving nearly 2 years. His parents of Thomas Johnson and Esther Tuttle, two early settlers of the Barrington 42 40-acre lots, having come from Greenland, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Lydia Remick was born in York, Maine, daughter of Jacob Remick and Mary Grover (daughter of Matthew Grover and Hannah Freethy). Lydia's widowed mother Mary was first the widow of Benjamin Elwell. We know that Mary and Lydia were living in Madbury, New Hampshire, (adjacent to Barrington) in the 1760s. There is a possibility that Lydia Remick and Samuel Johnson knew each other before moving to mid-coast Maine in the early 1770s, Lydia to Pownalborough (where her brother Joseph Remick m Sarah Remick, who had children William Remick m Elizabeth Austin and Joseph Remick m Priscilla Noble) and Samuel to Newcastle. Samuel Johnson's siblings included Esther Johnson m Elijah Tuttle, Thomas Johnson m Abigail Berry, James Johnson, Charity Johnson m Solomon Hall, Andrew Johnson m Elizabeth Buzzell m Catherine Jackson, Lydia Johnson m Emmanuel Grace, and David Johnson m Martha Carpenter. Samuel Johnson of Charlotte County had children George Johnson m Lydia Ann Brisley, William Johnson m Annabella Simpson, Leonard Johnson m Jane Higgins, Benjamin Johnson m Elizabeth Ann Brisley, and Sarah Jane Johnson m William McClelland (McLelland). The Simpsons had several relatives both in Charlotte County, New Brunswick (St Andrews parish, St Croix parish, Dumbarton parish, Saint Patrick parish), and afield. Henry Simpson from Armagh, Ireland, was a brother of James Johnson. Henry's wife was named Mary; they had children James Simpson m Isabella Mitchell, Henry Simpson m Ellen Shea, Jacob Simpson m Clarissa Herald m Jane McCarrick, John E Simpson m Eleanor Jane Orr, Nicolina Simpson m James Guest, Abraham Simpson m Charlotte Kirby, Mary Ann Simpson m William Towle, and Samuel Simpson m Mary Carroll. Leslie Simpson was another brother of James and Henry. He had children Jane Simpson m Isaac Bard who lived in Boonville, Oneida, New York and Cheyenne, Laramie, Wyoming; Leslie Simpson m Catherine Levar who lived in St David parish; Elizabeth Simpson m John Creighton who lived in Haldimand and Cobourg, Northumberland West, Ontario; Isabella Simpson m Thomas Black who lived in St David parish; and Margaret Simpson m Francis A Dinsmore who lived in St David. William, another brother, married Sybil Eastman and later Sarah McCann. His children were Joseph Andrew Simpson m Elizabeth Mary Johnson, Margaret Louise Simpson m William Henry Simpson. The Greenlaws were a very large family of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, and Deer Isle, Maine. Just after the Revolution, there were more than 3 dozen Greenlaws in Charlotte County, and the number kept growing. I have conducted extensive research on the Greenlaws. The data is included in the database, and in Documents I have written much about it. You can contact me to discuss them, as there is always much more to say. Here are the children and grandchildren of William and Jane Greenlaw from Glasgow, Scotland, who settled on Deer Isle, Maine. John Greenlaw who was a shopkeeper at Boston, but returned to Scotland during the Revolution. -Jean Greenlaw m David Black -John Greenlaw -Ann Greenlaw m Robert Semple -Margaret Greenlaw m James Hutchinson -Mary Greenlaw James Greenlaw married Catherine Crawford and moved to Chester, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, before the Revolution. -William Greenlaw m Mary Webber m Barbary Rafuse -Jane Greenlaw m David Vaughan [David Vaughn] m James Anthony -James Greenlaw m Abigail Alline -Sarah Greenlaw m Francis Tufts -Catherine Greenlaw -Jonathan Greenlaw Jonathan Greenlaw m Elizabeth Lamb -Abigail Greenlaw -William Greenlaw m Rebecca Babbage -James Greenlaw m Jerusha Watson [New London, Connecticut] -John Greenlaw -Ebenezer Greenlaw -Jonathan Greenlaw m Mary Card -Thomas S Greenlaw m Elizabeth Jane Davis m Susannah Cushing -Elizabeth Greenlaw m John Lymburner [Caistor, Lincoln, Ontario] -Richard Greenlaw m Mary Jordan -Sarah Greenlaw m Jonathan Greenlaw -Janes Greenlaw m George Christie -Rebecca Greenlaw m John Rigby William Greenlaw m Elizabeth Fossett m Elizabeth Blithen -Alexander Greenlaw m Lydia Cox -Jane Greenlaw m Robert Sproul -William Greenlaw m Abigail Stone -Mary Greenlaw m James Sproul -John Greenlaw m Lucy Whitney [Brownfield, Oxford, Maine] -Elizabeth Greenlaw m Ephraim Upham m Miles Thompson -Daniel Greenlaw m Ruth Day -Sarah Greenlaw m James McKinney -Naomi Greenlaw m Jacob Oliver -Dorcas Greenlaw m Jacob Oliver Ebenezer Greenlaw m Eunice [possibly Dunham] -Elijah D Greenlaw m Sarah Smith -Elizabeth Greenlaw -Jonathan Greenlaw m Sarah Greenlaw -William Greenlaw -Joanna Greenlaw m [] Smith m Willoughby Nason m Timothy Blake m James Collins m William Palmer m David Keezer m Samuel Johnson -Ebenezer Greenlaw -Abigail Greenlaw m Walter Greenlaw -Eunice Greenlaw m Aaron Linton -Sarah Greenlaw m Samuel Johnson -Miriam Greenlaw m John Cumberland -Mary Greenlaw m Charles Riley [Reilly] Charles Greenlaw m Mercy Hawthorne -Alexander Greenlaw m Martha Watson -Mercy Greenlaw m Calvin Kidder m Ambrose Bates -Martha Greenlaw m Elias Waterhouse -Mary Greenlaw m Nathaniel Fenlason -Solomon Greenlaw m Margaret Cookson [daughter of William Cookson and Honor Rodda or Rodier] -Charles Greenlaw -Jedediah Greenlaw Alexander Greenlaw m Hannah [Nason?] -Hannah Greenlaw m John Baldwin -Jane Greenlaw m Donald Malloch -Lucy Greenlaw m William Tremere -Walter Greenlaw m Abigail Greenlaw -William Greenlaw m Hannah Hersey -Elizabeth Greenlaw m Gould Hoyt m David Smith -Catherine Greenlaw m Job Ewell m John Neal Hobart m James Chandley -Alexander Greenlaw. His widow Jane m William Cookson -Harriet S Greenlaw m David Smith -Sarah Greenlaw m Moses Chase [Nunda, Livingston, New York] -James Nason Greenlaw m Harriet Greenlaw In addition to these families, I have spent extensive time looking into Sullivan, Moriarty, Doona and McGillicuddy families on the Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland, particularly in Glenbeigh, Killoglin, Milltown, Kilcolman, and Kilbonane. My closest Sullivans were James Sullivan who married Bridget Moriarty in Hartford Connecticut. James Sullivan was the son of Daniel Sullivan m Mary Shea who lived at Bunglasha, Corrawoolia, Lickeen, and Reennanallagane [Reenanalagane], Glenbeigh. Daniel was the sonf of Timothy Sullivan m Mary Coffey, of Drombrane, Bunglasha, and Corrawoolia, Lickeen. He was said to be from Dromod. There are countless other Sullivans associated with these families, both in Glenbeigh, Killorglin, Knockane as well as Hartford, Connecticut, and the many other places of settlement in Connecticut and Massachusetts. These Sullivans were known by the moniker Fiely. Bridget Moriarty was the daughter of James Moriarty m Mary Cronin of Boheeshil, Knockane, and Glannagilliagh, Killorglin. Their other children were Ellen Moriarty m John J Sullivan [brother of James Sullivan], Mary J Moriarty m Thomas Kennedy, Julia E Moriarty m John J Fitzpatrick, and Margaret Elizabeth Moriarty m Michael J Leahy m James Francis Farrell. James Moriarty was the son of Martin Moriarty m Honora Sullivan who lived at Glannagilliagh and Muingaphuca, Killorglin. Their other children included Ellen Moriarty m Michael Brennan, and Mary Moriarty m Eugene Grady. These Moriartys were known by the moniker Buony. James Sullivan m Bridget Moriarty had a son named James Joseph Sullivan who married Bridget Downey. Bridget Downey was born Bridget Doona who was the daughter Michael Doona and Ellen Griffin of Dromglass, Coolroe, Glenbeigh. I am also a descendant of Frank Romanski and Dominica Brodowski of Norwich, Connecticut. Frank was from Piatkowizna, Turosl, Kolno, Poland. Dominica was from Nowa Wies, Bakalarzewa, Suwalki, Podlaskie, Poland. I have collected extensive amounts of information regarding these families, both in Poland and Connecticut and Massachusetts.
