| 4 | Disputed Origin "According to the family tradition, John Sturges was born in 1624, probably England. Nothing is known with certainty as to his parentage. Full records showing his English extraction are said to have been in the hands of his great-great-grandson, Judge Jonathan Sturges of Fairfield, and to have been destroyed, with other family papers, when the Judge's home was burned by the British troops in 1779. It has been surmised that John Sturges was a son of Edward Sturgis, or Sturges, eldest son of Philip Sturgies". Biography John Sturges was born in England in 1623 and came to Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1660, in his thirty-seventh year. His name is often spelled Sturge and Sturgee. He bought Richard Fowles' homestead and various other property from time to time until he became one of the large property holders there. He was admitted a freeman, May 14, 1669, and was a selectman the same year. His will, dated March 4, 1697, bequeathed to his son Jonathan the homestead, his sword and variouos parcels of land; to Joseph his fowling piece, long gun and land; to John his little gun; to Deborah, wife of James Redfield, several lots of land and his negro woman Jenny; to his grandson Christopher; son-in-law, Richard Stratton, and children by his daughter Sarah; to daughter Abigail, wife of Simon Couch, his negro boy Jack; the remainder of his movables to be divided between his daughters Deborah and Abigail; to his absent son Thomas. His home was on the northwest side of the highway to Mill Plain. He married Deborah, daugther of John Barlow. Children: Jonathan; Joseph, mentioned below; John, married Mary Goodwin; Thomas; Deborah, married James Redfield; Sarah, married Richard Stratton; abigail, married Simon Couch. | STURGES, John (I2185)

| 7 | [John Bate Family.FBK.FTW] [Bates 296.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #0296, Date of Import: 29 Jan 1999] John Wallis BATES parted ways (no record of divorce has been found yet) with Lavina LIGHT in 1812. He made over all his property to John LIGHT with the understanding that Lavina would surrender all rights to him. This occurred in Washington County, Virginia, April 22, 1812. --"The Bates Family of Kentucky", Col. Miller p. 14. By the 1820 Census, John was in nearby Russell County, Virginia, with a second family, while Lavina was in Washington County, Va. By the 1830 Census, John Wallis had moved to Perry County, Ky., and when that county was divided, he remained in the part known as Letcher County. He died there in 1845. According to the same 1830 Census, Lavina and her children had moved to Pulaski County, Ky. By the 1840 Census, Lavina is no longer in Pulaski County. --Delma BATES, BFOV, Letter to Edna Mae Compton, 1985. John Wallis's grandson was John Henderson CRAFT. He indicated that his grandfather had two families and that some of his descendents of the first family lived then (1890's) in Pulaski County, Kentucky. --Delma BATES, BFOV, Letter to Edna Mae Compton, Sept. 23, 1985. Evidence exists that Lavina and her brother, John, with their respective families made the journey to Pulaski County in 1828 from Washington County, Va. --Letter from Bonita L. Cochran (Lexington Park, Md.) to Edna Mae Compton, Aug. 27, 1985. John Wallis was born at Broad Ford of the Holstone River, Va., May 17, 1779. His father was either Thomas BATES or James BATES according to an article in the Bates Bulletin. There is obviously some dispute as to wheter John Wallis' father was William of Wythe County or one of William's brothers. --"The Bates Bulletin" Vol. I, Series III p.33. & Series I, p. 106. According to the Mormon Index ("Bates Booster" March 1993, p. 3), John Wallis was the son of William BATES and Margaret YOUNG (rather than Anabel OATES). John was c ertainly living in Kentucky in August, 180, when the great "Cane Ridge Revival" broke out, launching the great "Camp Meeting" era. (Cane Ridge, KY is in Logan County. The Cane Ridge church was located about 20 miles west of Lexington.) This Cane Ridge meeting was for forerunner of the Second Great Awakening. --"Christian History" (Issue 45; Volume XIV, No. 1), pp. 8-1 | BATES, John Wallis Sr (I1461)

| 37 | Albert fought in two of the famous battles of WW1 at Ypres, Belgium and Somme, France. The Second Battle of Ypres was fought during the World War 1 from 22 April to 25 May 1915. It was the first major battle fought by Canadian troops in the Great War. The battle took place on the Ypres salient on the Western Front, in Belgium, outside the city of Ypres (now known by its Flemish name, Ieper). The untested Canadians distinguished themselves as a determined fighting force, resisting the horror of the first large-scale poison gas attack in modern history. Canadian troops held a strategically critical section of the frontline until reinforcements could be brought in. More than 6,500 Canadians were killed, wounded or captured in the Second Battle of Ypres. The Battle of the Somme also known as the Somme Offensive, was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British Empire and French Third Republic against the German Empire . It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the upper reaches of the River Somme in France. The battle was intended to hasten a victory for the Allies and was the largest battle of the First World War on the Western Front . More than three million men fought in the battle and one million men were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history. He was a member of the 26th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) overseas in WW1 and served from 1914 to 1919. He started work in Lt. Governor Snowball's mill as an apprentice engineer in 1904 when he was 12 years of age as an apprentice engineer and earned $.50 per week. After the mill closed down, he worked for W.S. Loggie Co. in Chatham and later as Chief Engineer for the Deptartment of National Defence at the Chatham airport. Albert was a Licensed Stationery Engineer. He drove one of the first cars on the Marimichi. In retirement, Albert's favourite pastime was listening to world wide news on his shortwave radio. He also loved being with his grandchildren and telling them stories. | BRIGGS, Albert Edward (I13)

| 38 | ANDREW COE, son of John and Hannah (Barrett) Coe, was born about 1654 in Greenwich, CT. His name first appears in the records in 1679 as a witness on a deed in Stratford. In 1680 he was witness on a deed in Rye, where he resided all his life, owning land there, and also meadow lots on Manursing Island, previously belonging to his father. Andrew's birth date is determined from an affidavit at "Rie, June the 22nd 1681, Sworne before me Robert Treat, Deputy Governor," regarding a disturbance caused by Stephen Sherwood. Stephen Sherwood and Andrew Coe were closely associated. Although he bore witness to Sherwood's9, unseeming behavior, Andrew tried to smooth things with his last statement: "Andrew Coe aged 27 years testifieth that yesterday being the 21st of ye present, "I heard some discourse between Stephen Sherwood and Mary Perce the wife of Jacob Perce at his house and I doe and did apprehend that the said Shirwood was far gon in Drink who spoke very rashly and saw him at Mr. Ogden's Drink wine very freeley that very day and the occasion of the words (as I] took them up was upon Mary Perce's speech to Stephen Shirwood saying we heard the Indians and French are coming against us we had not need make trouble among our selves if we keep quarrelling we shall murder one another then to ye best of my remembrance Stephen Shirwood said ay and we will murder our King we could show a papist oath for it saith so if you will go to Goodrn Ogdens but i did not take him up that he spake any way approving of it as their said in the Oath but the Contrary." Sherwood seems to have had a penchant for getting into trouble by saying the wrong thing at the right time, as is noted in other instances. On February 27, 1698, Andrew Coe was granted land in Port Chester, and a little later, in what was called the Pondfield Draft, he received twenty acres. In 1699 his home was mentioned as being near Fox Island, next to Stephen Sherwood. In the Swampland draft of 1702 he received lot number eight. In 1708 more land was laid out to him at Port Chester. On February 18, 1711, in the second division of lots of the Lame Wills Purchase, he received an allotment. In 1714 land was granted him at White Plains. He was townsman in Rye in 1701, sergeant in 1705, and on January 9, 1711, was made a vestryman of Christ Church. He married Deborah Lyon, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Hoyt) Lyon. Her father was one of the early settlers of Rye. He was born in England about 1621, and married first Martha Winthrop, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Fones) Winthrop, and granddaughter of Governor John Winthrop. After her death he married Mary Hoyt, daughter of Simon and Susannah (Smith) Hoyt. Simon was born in Somerset, England, in 1595, and came to America in 1629. After Andrew Coe's death his widow married William Proby of Rye. Andrew and Deborah had seven children, but John Coe III was the only son that left issue, and thus through him the entire posterity of John Coe by the name of Coe is preserved. | COE, Andrew (I1338)

| 39 | Anna Swan was born in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia on August 6th, 1846. She was a large baby. She began her life at eighteen pounds and simply continued to grow. By the age of four she was almost five feet tall. By the time she was sixteen, Anna towered over her parents and 12 siblings. When she was done growing Anna stood a staggering seven feet, eleven and a half inches tall. She began her exhibition career shortly after her seventeenth birthday. She started at the very top, working with P. T. Barnum in his New York Museum. Anna was often paired with the famous midget Tom Thumb, to better accentuate both of their statures. Anna made a great deal of money under the management of Barnum. Unfortunately, her career with the famous promoter was rife with disaster. The original Barnum Museum caught fire while Anna was on exhibit there and she barely escaped with her life. Trapped on an upper floor, Firemen were unable to carry her to safety. Instead, an outside wall was demolished and a crane was called to facilitate the rescue. When Barnum rebuilt his museum, Anna returned only to lose all of her possessions in a second museum fire. Anna quit the business for a time and returned to Nova Scotia. However, in 1869, Barnum invited her on a tour of the United States. While on tour Anna met a Kentucky, gentleman named Martin Van Buren Bates. Bates had been a Confederate Captain during the Civil War. He was charming, soft spoken and eloquent. He also happened to be nearly eight feet tall. The pair fell in love and married on June 17th, 1871. The pair, billed as the 'World's Tallest Couple' were showered with wedding gifts. Queen Victoria herself provided the gown and diamond ring. The Gigantic couple settled in Seville, Ohio and used their vast career earnings to build a colossal home. The ceilings were fourteen feet high, every door was at over eight feet in height and every piece of furniture was custom build for their frames. The pair continued to tour, but only sparingly. In 1872 Anna gave birth to her first child. The little girl weighted eighteen pounds, just like her mother had, but unfortunately did not survive long after birth. In 1879 the couple had another child, this time a twenty-two-pound boy. Sadly, he too did not survive past infancy. Despite these tragedies, the two titans lived together in their custom home quite happily in love. In 1888, one day before her forty-second birthday, Anna passed away unexpectedly. Her husband, Martin, erected a great funeral monument to his wife. Atop her grave towers a fifteen-foot statue of a Greek Goddess. Although Martin later remarried, he insisted that, upon his death, he be laid to rest next to his beloved Anna and their children. His request was granted and today they rest together. | SWAN, Anna Haining (I1031)
