Page 27 Child IV; ELIZABETH WALLING 1831-1892

To save time, I'm just going to type in this missing scanned page:

No. IV  Elizabeth  b. 1831 d. Jan 1892.
             Funeral date in my father's diary--Jan. 13, 1892.  m. 1st in Sangersfield John Freel Jr.
             b. in Ireland, British Empire and son of John Freel Sr. and his wife (indefinite as yet)
             possibly the Elizabeth Freel listed in the Second Baptist Church Recods of Burlington,
             NY as late as Jan 29, 1794 when she joined their church.  Report says the Sr. Freel family
             moved to Italy, NY.

            John- Elizabeth Walling-Freel were divorced.  She later married Nathan Willis
            and lived in Bridgewater NY until her death from pneumonia.  She is buried in
            an unmarked grave, down the knoll a bit from the Irvin-Sylvester Reed lot.

                                                           Ch.
            II  Marcia Elizabeth b. Mar. 19, 1851 in the home of Stephen Sr. and Olive Clara-
            McLaughlin-walling in Township of New Lisbon on Wooley Hill Road near the
            Quaker Church.  The church and

Page 28 of the Journal continued with a few corrections in spellings:
            farmhouse have long since been gone.
            On Mar. 8, 1870 she m. Irvin Emory Reed son of Sylvester-Susan Aylsworth- Reed.
            Sylvester was b. June 29, 1837, d. Mar. 23, 1908.  He was born, lived and died on
             the Reed farm on the Butternut Road.

            The farm was settled by his gr. father Shubael Reed and family when they came
            from Tolland , Conn. in early 1800s.  Shubael Reed's wife, Mehitable Hale was
            daughter of John Hale and gr. daughter of Daniel Knowlton: also niece of Col.
            Thomas Knowlton, killed in battle of New York on Manhatten Island and the
             present site of Columbia University.

            The Hales were from Ashford Conn.  Irvin E. Reed is descended from Capt.
            Thomas Aylsworth b. Aug 21, 1726: d. Oct. 11, 1811 and second wife Martha
            Harrington.  The Reeds and Hales are buried in Butternut Valley Cemetery
            while Capt. Thomas Aylsworth and his wife Martha are buried in Holdredge
            Cemetery on the Cornell Farm located between Garrattsville and West Burlington
            owned and occupied by Ralph Rose and sister Ethelyn Rose (as of 1962) and
            descendents of the former owner Peleg Cornell.


My addendum info:  Pvt. John Hale and his wife Mehitable were the parents of  about 10
children.  Some stayed behind in Conn. and several relocated to NY.  I have visited their gravesites several times.  John Hale was a cousin of Nathan Hale.
