WHITEHEAD by Joel Whitehead 3 May 1990 ------------------------------------------------ I am researching WHITEHEAD. My earliest known ancestor was David WHITEHEAD of NY, who married Elizabeth A. WARD of CT in the early 1800Us. They eventually travelled to Jersey (Licking Co), OH in the early 1820Us where they had my GGF Ezekiel Payne WHITEHEAD (b. 1844, OH), who served in Co.E., 135th OH Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War. Ezekiel married Amelia Anne HANDLEY (b. 1843, IL) in West Virginia(?) in1864 and was father to my GF David Brainard WHITEHEAD (b. 1884, OH). His son, James Russell WHITEHEAD (b. 1907) of Richwood, OH, was my father. Any connection leading to my line would be appreciated. * Origin: CPAFUG: MD(301)Colmbia 290-9530 SlvrSpng 989-8960 (Opus 100/611 17 May 90 07:16:12 From: Joel Whitehead To: James Davis Subj: WHITEHEAD, BURR, CONDIT, SLOSS Families Attr: ------------------------------------------------ In your message of 26 Apr 90 about Jehu BURR, you refer to his brother-in-law, Gershom WHITEHEAD, who I may be descended from. I've recently discovered some information relating to a Major Peter BURR. Here is a quote from the "NY Calendar of Wills 1626-1836" by Fernow, p. 337. It refers to a will of John SLOSS: "SLOSS, John, of Fairfield. Wife Esther, daughters Sarah, Ellen and Deborah, sister Anna, in Scotland. "My manour of Eaton's Neck, L.I.,U property in Scotland, personal estate. The wife sole executrix. Witnesses Nathaniel WHITEHEAD, Elisabeth WHITEHEAD and Major Peter BURR. Copy." Although I dont know fully the meaning the dates to the left of the entry are: "1482 (S II) 1720-I Jany. 5 March 2" The first entry "1482 (S II)" refers to the numerical entry of the will entry in the book. I'm not sure if the other dates are will probate dates, reading dates, or recording dates, though. I am trying to find out about Nathaniel and Elisabeth WHITEHEAD as my GGF David B. WHITEHEAD was from NY and might be related. I also am checking out an Onis WHITEHEAD of NJ (b. 1 AUG 1741, d. 4 July 1814) (Revolutionary War private from NJ) who married Rebecca CONDIT. My ancestor David B. WHITEHEAD travelled to Licking Co. Ohio, where most of my side of the WHITEHEAD family settled, and I know they were in some way related to the CONDIT family in Ohio. Any clues you might have re Nathaniel, Elisabeth or Onis would be appreciated. Hope this helps you on your BURR.

I am descended from Abigail WHITEHEAD b. aft 1664 in ELizabethtown, NJ. Her father was Isaac WHITEHEAD b. 20 Nov 1652 Morristown. NJ and his father was perhaps Isaac b. 1611 d. 1690/1. His father was, perhaps, John. I have a copy of "Some Early Records of Morris County, NJ 1740=1799" by Stryker-Rodda. One Onesimus WHITEHEAD is listed as a freeholder in Mendham Township (near Morristown) in 1793, on a poll list (May, 1776) for delegates from Morris County to NJ's first Constitutional Convention, and on a list of "all the Ratables on the Township of Morris in the County of Morris in the Province if NJ with the assessment Made thereon October, 1768. In the latter the value of his land is listed as 17 pounds 10 shillings, 22 acres. 2 horse and/or cattle, 5 sheep, pound value 7 shillings 12 pense, poor tax 2 shillings 11 pense, county tax 1 shilling 9 pense, sinking fund tax 1 shilling 9 pense. He is not listed in "New Jersey in 1793" by James Norton. I have some more info if you can get yourself to my Isaac. Good luck!

Your WHITEHEADs are much earlier than I have traced back to, but the family names (John, Abagail, lots of Isaacs) are many of the same in my WHITEHEAD family and I know they followed tradition by naming 1st male after paternal GF, etc. I doubt there were very many Onesimus WHITEHEADs in Morris Co. in 1793, so I think the one you mentioned is mine, though I'll check into the 1790 census records. My Onesimus married a Rebecca Condit (daughter of Phillip), and the WHITEHEAD family had many marriages with that family. Some marriages were in NJ and later in Ohio, where some of both families migrated in the early 1800s. I am trying to confirm the important marriages with the CONDITs now. They are discussed in the book Genealogical Record of the CONDIT family, 1678-1885 by Jotham and Eben CONDIT. I am expecting any day to receive Onesimus Revolutionary War military record and bounty land-warrant records from the archives and I am hoping this will give me some valuable information on his family. Meanwhile, I will check the Stryker-Rodda and Norton references you gave me and check into others at the NGS library. I have also written to Morris Co. probate for info on Onesimus will, etc. Any information you have as to the children of Abagail or her father might be a help - it's conceivable that Onesimus father (Isaac) could be the son (or nephew) of your Abagail and the grandson of your Isaac, but that needs some proof for certain. Also, any info as to when your WHITEHEADs got to NJ and from where would be a help. I've got some articles which indicate that some WHITEHEADs originally arrived in southern VA and then went north to NY/NJ area, but nothing definite. Thanks again and I'll keep you posted. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: NGS/CIG BBS - Arlington, VA (703) 528-2612 *DHST/V.32* (109/302) 141/250 261/1023 422/804 17 Jun 90 11:44:55 From: Joel Whitehead To: Jack Sanders Subj: Re: WHITEHEAD FAMILY IN MORRIS CO.

I am having a real problem with the two Isaacs. My information is as follows: John WHITEHEAD (no dates); father of Isaac (b. 1611, m. Mary BROWN, d. Feb 1690/1 NJ.) Info "History of Elizabethtown, NJ" and "First Church, Morristown, NJ." Isaac II b. 20 Nov 1652 New Haven, CT, m. 1700, d. 1 Jul 1724 m. daughter of John HINDS ( I believe Sarah). Now this is where I have a problem. I'm not sure if Abigail is the daughter of this Isaac or the first. According to the minutes of the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown. NJ Abigail is the daughter of the first Isaac and the sister of the second. According to this source the first Isaac had his first six children born in New Haven, CT (the last on 12 Nov 1663) and his next two children, Nathaniel and Abigail born in Elizabethtown. I have not as yet determined the birth date of Abigail. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. As to Abigail, she m. John HARRIMAN, Jr. ( have no info as to where or when they married or died.) Their children were Joseph b, abt 1686 d. 1758 Hanover, NJ; Hannah m. John HENDRICKS; and Abigail m. John CLARKE. I do not have any sources for this information. I hope some of this helps but I'm afraid it is very sketchy at best. If you would like copies of what I do have, let me know.

I've printed off a copy and will put it in the mail for you today. Of particular interest is a reference to a will of Isaac Whitehead dated 31 Jan 1690/91 - it shows spouse as Mary and and their children were Isaac and Joseph. Two other records dated 16 Nov 1691 and 24 Mar 1690/91 refer to deeds which show Abagail as the spouse. Both of the above I found in PATENTS AND DEEDS AND OTHER EARLY RECORDS OF NJ: 1664-1703, V. 31 of DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE COLONIAL HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. It was reprinted by the Genealogical Publishing Co. in 1982 and I got it at the NGS library here. The original documents can probably be obtained through the NJ Archives in Trenton -I have the address and tel no. here if you need it. I will send you today the abstracts of the 3 records mentioned above. I would like to get any documentation you have on your John and two Isaacs. I think I am descended from the son or grandson (also an Isaac) of your youngest Isaac. You mentioned in an earlier message as a source FIRST CHURCH OF MORRISTOWN. Where did you get that from? Also do you know the circumstances of how these WHITEHEADs got from Elizabethtown to Morristown? My address is: Joel R.

I was at the NGS Library yesterday and located a copy of the National Register of the Sons of the American Revolution (about 1890 ed.) and in it I found one John WHITEHEAD who was then National Vice-Pres. of the SAR and President of NJ SAR. By his biography, he is absolutely a relative, having descended from my ancestor Onesimus WHITEHEAD. His biography says: The WHITEHEADs of New Jersey are descended from John WHITEHEAD, a Freeman of New Haven, Connecticut, where he was found, a prominent citizen as early as 1630. His son came to Elizabethtown, as it was then called, about 1668 and was one of the most influential of the immigrants who settled that place. This son Isaac, was a clerk for many years of the town meetings of Elizabethtown, was Secretary of the first Colonial Legislature, and continued in that office for many years. Now that's certainly not proof, but I plan to look into the SAR records for him to see if there are any primary documents which support this. I also will search Savage in the next week. Two other sources which I am pursuing: (1) The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey: I have copied the index pages for WHITEHEAD and there are lots of entries for persons named John, Abagail and Isaac. I like this source so far because it is almost exclusively reprints of primary materials like rateables listings, etc. and it has a lot of cemetery tombstone recordings etc. I will copy out the Volumes and page numbers for your interests in the next week or so and send them to you. (2) History of Morris County, New Jersey (Pub. H.H. Munsell,1882). I can't get a copy of this book yet, but I did find an index to it. If you can get this book, there are references to a John on pp. on 95, 156-157, 275 and Isaac on pp. 21 and 77. Hope this is of help, as well as the information I sent by mail. - Joel --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: NGS/CIG BBS - Arlington, VA (703) 528-2612 *DHST/V.32* (109/302) 129/34 261/1023 274/13 586/876 12 Jul 90 15:32:55 From: Joel Whitehead To: All Subj: JOHN WHITEHEAD - PILGRIM? Attr: ------------------------------------------------ I am looking for information on John WHITEHEAD who would have been in either Massachusetts or Connecticut in the late 1630's. I have seen several secondary sources indicating that this John WHITEHEAD was father to my ancestor, Isaac WHITEHEAD (b. about 1620) who was a member of the original New Haven Colony about 1640. Isaac's son (also named Isaac) left New Haven about 1668 to help form the new colony at Elizabethtown, NJ. Several sources, including Donald Lines Jacobus, show the elder Isaac and family in New Haven, and young Isaac (b. 1642) in New Haven. However, I have found no record of John WHITEHEAD in New Haven. Jacobus says there was a John WHITEHEAD in nearby Branford CT about 1668 but they were not related. That they were not related is also supported by an article in the New England Historical and Genealogical Record entitled RJohn Whitehead of New Haven and Branford, Connecticut. John WHITEHEAD may have been part of the Pilgrim colony in Massachusetts and his son Isaac migrated to New Haven alone. I think there is some Pilgrim connection based upon an entry for Laura Gertrude (Baum) Fryburg in the 1929 edition of RLineages of Members of the National Society of the Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims.S Her lineage is claimed from General William Bonnell, a founder of the New Haven Colony in 1634 and a supplemental line is indicated from John WHITEHEAD. I would appreciate help from anyone who might know something about whether John WHITEHEAD was a pilgrim in Massachusetts, whose son Isaac later moved to New Haven as a founder of the colony. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: NGS/CIG BBS - Arlington, VA (703) 528-2612 *DHST/V.32* (109/302) 157/200 382/1 454/933 18 Jul 90 10:31:47 From: Joel Whitehead To: Reed Livingston Subj: WHITEHEAD FAMILY - CT AND NJ Attr: recvd ------------------------------------------------ Reed - Thanks for the information you sent - there was a lot there in the Morristown Church records that I knew nothing about. Do you have page 255 of the Combined Registers book? You sent the other pages and I think that page 255 will have information on more of my family. I'd also like to look up the book here - could you give me the author, Publisher and date if you have it? I am also confused by the references to John as the father of the 1st Isaac WHITEHEAD though. I saw the Church record mentioning a John as IsaacUs father and your article on John WHITEHEAD from the NEHGR, but I donUt see the connection to our Isaac, especially since the NEHGR article seems to indicate that Isaac I in New Haven was not related to John Whitehead of New Haven/Branford. I didnUt find any reference to a John WHITEHEAD in the early New Haven records except for the one in Branford. Moreover, Donald Lines Jacobus in "Families of Ancient New Haven" (Vol. 8) shows only 2 WHITEHEAD lines in old New Haven: (1) our Isaac I who went to Elizabethtown about 1668 and (2) John WHITEHEAD of Branford, unrelated. So where did Isaac come from? I have yet to see any reference in a primary document referring to John the father of our Isaac - perhaps he lived in the Massachusetts Colony or was never in America and stayed in Great Britain? The books I referred to in my last message came from the NGS Library in Arlington, VA - not far from here. But by far the best source I have found here is the DAR Library where I went for the 1st time last weekend. LOTS on NJ there & I plan to research it better this summer. I have still not found the Munsell history of Morris Co. - I guess I'll have to go to the Library of Congress, but it's so old, I may not be able to copy it. In recent research I found out that an Isaac WHITEHEAD was elected a Lieutenant in the militia from Elizabethtown in 1673 during the Dutch Reoccupation: Source is "Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of NJ" (Vol. I: 1631-1687), ed. William A. WHITEHEAD, published in 1880. Also, there is a book called "As They Were" on colony at Elizabethtown. I saw it quickly at a bookstore here & it mentions Isaac in some detail - I will probably buy it and will send you new information when I get it. Last, have you done much research in Hartford? My wife is from Waterford & I went to college in New London so we get up there fairly often. I thought I might try going to the State archives or to the library at the Society of the Colony of New Haven. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: NGS/CIG BBS - Arlington, VA (703) 528-2612 *DHST/V.32* (109/302) 157/200 382/1 073/935 10 Sep 90 12:30:01 From: Joel Whitehead To: Roger Willett Subj: BONNELL & WHITEHEAD FAMILY CT Attr: ------------------------------------------------ Roger - My oldest known ancestor, Isaac WHITEHEAD (b. ca. 1626, Kent, England?) had a daughter, Susanna WHITEHEAD (b. 06 Aug 1626) who married Nathaniel BONNEL on 03 Jan 1665/1666. Isaac was one of the early members of the original New Haven Colony - he lived in New Haven until about 1665, when he left to help form the new Elizabethtown (NJ) Colony. If this sounds like a son/grandson of your Benjamin, let me know - I have a little more information. I know for fact that this marriage is recorded in the original New Haven Colony records, and more recently by David Jacobus Lines in "Ancient Families of New Haven." I think Torrey also mentions the marriage.
