3265. Capt. Michael Loomis
Lieutenant Michael Loomis was one of the Minute-men in Capt. John Holms's Co., Col. John Fellows' Regt., which, in response to the alarm of 19 April 1775, marched 21 April 1775 and engaged the British troops for the first time in their fight for freedom in the Revolutionary War.

Four of Andrew's sons were leaders in the Mormon Church. He was a Private in Col. Fellows company beginning in 1775 when he was about 16 years old. He was one of the Green Mountain Boys. On his pension application he stated that he was 73 years old on 14 May 1832. If that is so, then he was born in 1759 and he would have been the first child instead of the second in this family.
3266. Abijah Loomis
Abijah Loomis may well have been a "Regulator," that is a rebel during Shays' Rebellion in 1786. "In Berkshire County, the Loomises, Nobles, and Dodges of Egremont helped stop the court at Great Barrington." After the collapse of the Rebellion he may have gone to New York and ultimately to Chenango County. He left Egremont, Massachusetts in 1795-96 and went to Smithville, Chenango County, N.Y. Later he moved to Greene, NY.
He was possbily a Revolutionary War vet.
First Town Meeting of Greene, Chenango County, New York: "By a late Act passed by the people of the State of New York represented by the Senate and Assembly that all that part of the town of Union and Jericho (bounded thus and so) should be and remain a separate Town by the name of Greene."

6054. Daniel Loomis
From "Pioneer & Patriot Families of Bradford County PA 1800-1825, Vol. 2, by Clement F. Heverly, p. 83: Daniel Loomis came from Connecticut to the Sugar Creek Valley, 1803, settling permanently on the J. R. Vannoy farm at East Troy, which he cleared and improved. He married Mary, daughter of Ezra Goddard, Jr. of Burlington. She died, 1836, and Mr. Loomis, 1846. Both rest in the Hilton cemetery. Their children who married as follows were: Marilla to P. C. Williams; Alvin to Minerva Berry of Springfield; Eley to Lydia Rich of Sullivan; Orrin never married; Lucy to George Fritcher of Athens; Harriet to Edward Gough of Clearfield; Caroline to Leonard Upham of Springfield; Ezra to Harriet Pratt of Canton; Luther to Lucretia Farmer of Troy.
49y2m0d; daughter of Ezra and Mary Godard and wife of Daniel Loomis.
Gary Silverstein provides the following account: Jesse Bartoo, fifth child of Silas and Ruth Luce Bartoo, was born December 25, 1775 presumably in Connecticut, (possibly on Long Island as his father lived there in 1783). He married Eunice Loomis who was born October 17, 1778. She was the sixth child of Abijab Loomis, born March 7, 1744, and Mary Loomis, born November 29, 1749. He died July 16, 1819; she died December 4, 1815. They came from Egremont, Mass., to Chenango County, N.Y., but at what date is not certainly known, probably about 1795-6, and it is not known where they first located, (supposed to have been at Smithville [Flats], N.Y.)
Later he procured a farm on the Chenango River six miles above Greene." (1)
He appears in the 1800 census and the 1820 census in Greene. (2)

"The first farm on the east side of the river in the town of Greene's northern limits was taken up in 1794 by Samuel Wheeler, a British soldier over here during the Revolution, who decided to remain... Joseph Gray was the next occupant of the farm, then Jesse Bartoo in 1835 who, with his wife, Eunice Loomis, came from Egremont, Mass. Their children were: Hiram, Abigail, Polly Ruth, (Elisha) Smith, Jesse L(uce), Louisa, Olive Urania, Lucretia, William and Charlotte. Hiram Bartoo married Laura Bates and succeeded his father on the farm." (4)
According to an 1869 directory, his son Hiram, who inherited his farm, was living at Lot 73, Township 3, East Greene (Brisben) (3).
"His father Silas Bartoo was living with him at the time of his death. He died suddenly on December 24, 1823 and is buried at the Tillotson Cemetery in Greene, N.Y. His tombstone reads:
Jesse Bartoo
d. Dec. 24, 1823
Age 48 yrs.
Friends nor physicians could not
Save mortl body from the grave,
Nor can the grave confine it here
When Christ commands it to appear." (1)
I visited the cemetery, which was in the process of being cleared and repaired (August 1995). His tombstone, which is the oldest in the cemetery, is in remarkably good condition. I did not find his wife's tombstone, which is reportedly in the same cemetery. The cemetery is primarily a family cemetery for the Tillotsons, whose property was adjacent. The cemetery lies on a small side road (which was the old NY 12) just west of the present NY 12 about half way between Greene and Brisben. It is on a small mound next to the old canal. If you look west from the highway over the marker, the mound directly behind the sign is the cemetery, though it is very hard to see. (See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rsaft/Tillotsen.html#map for a map of the location.)
His son Elisha Smith Bartoo and probably his son William emigrated to Clarksville, which is where Jesse Whiteman moved to and where George Whiteman was born.

3269. Benajah Loomis
Removed from Egremont to Catskill in 1787; came to Oxford, NY in the year 1790 and settled on the west side of the Chenango river near the south line of the town. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; he was at the Battle of Saratoga. He died soon after receiving his pension. Cemetery north of Brisben has a tombstone of Benaiah Loomis "who died March 8, 1836 aged 86 years."
Benaiah Loomis, a native of Egremont, Mass., was born July 15, 1752; married (1) Rachel Patterson; married (2) Mrs. Prudence Corbin. He came to Oxford about the year 1790 and settled on the west side of the river, near the south line of the town (near Brisben), where he died March 8, 1838." From: Annals of Oxford, p. 44-45
6064. Edward Loomis
From History of Smithville (http://www.artmakers.com/chenango/history/smithville.html):
In 1799, Edward LOOMIS settled in the east part of the town, at East Smithville where he was the first settler. He was born in Egremont, Massachusetts, Feb. 2, 1777, and removed about 1790, with his father from Catskill to Oxford, where the latter settled. He took up 50 acres on lot 25, in Smithville, for which he paid by cutting, the following year, a road from Oxford to Smithville Flats. This was the first road in the town. In the winter he brought in his family consisting of his wife, Polly, the daughter of Blodgett SMITH, a native of Massachusetts, and one child, Vinson, born in Oxford, October 4, 1799, and occupied a log house erected by him the previous fall. It stood on the farm now occupied by Perry LOOMIS, on Burlingame creek, about 100 rods below the junction of Ludlow and Bowman creeks, which unite and form it. He continued to reside on that farm till within two or three years of his death, when he went to live with his son Daniel in Oxford village, where he died June 21, 1869, at the advanced age of 92 years. His wife died on the farm in Smithville June 10, 1850.Vinson Loomis, son of Edward, married Polly, daughter of Heber WILLIAMS, and lived and died near the center of town, on the farm now occupied by David PURDY. He died November 27, 1864; and his wife on his father's farm in East Smithville about 1825. He afterwards married Cynthia MOORE, who died in 1840.
The children of Edward LOOMIS born after he removed to Smithville were: Jane, who was born May 2, 1801, and was the first child born in the town, who married Thurston WILLCOX of Smithville, where she lived and died July 8, 1861, leaving eight children, (Edward, Mary Jane, who married Ransom YALE, Ruth, who married Chauncey ADAMS, Thurston, Patience, wife of Henry CHURCH, Charles, Harriet, wife of Avery D. LANDERS, and Almira, widow of William STRATTON and wife of Eugene BUTLER;) Eleanor, who married Joseph CORBIN and died August 20, 1876, in Harford, Cortland county, where most of her family are now living, none in this town; Lucinda, who married Daniel WILLIAMS, and died in Cincinnatus, Cortland county, February 24, 1867; Lovina, who married Charles STRATTON and died in Willett, Cortland county, January 3, 1870, leaving five children, one of whom, Louisa, wife of Joseph Warren HAMILTON, is living in Smithville, and another, Charles, in Oxford; Abigail, who married Joel WEBB and is now living in Oxford, where three of her children reside, George, Alvin and Charlotte, wife of Charles A. McFARLAND, and four in Greene, Benaiah, Edward, Whitman and Marion, wife of Clark McNEIL; Daniel, who married Mary CLINE, and after her death May 30, 1853, Diantha, widow of William WOOD, with whom he is now living in Oxford, and has one child living in Smithville, Betsey M., wife of Samuel CLINE; Hannah, who married Simon G. WILLCOX, and died in Cortland November 6, 1866; Lois, who married Jonathan BENNETT, and died in Cortland county January 15, 1865; Rachel, who married Charles WILLIAMS and is living in Michigan; Benaiah, who married Sally HAMILTON, and is now living in Smithville, having five children living in the county, Edward, Alexander and Minnie in Smithville, Sarah, wife of Arvine LEWIS, in Oxford, and Emma, wife of Adelbert FLAGG, in Greene; and Betsey, who married George M. STARKEY, and is living in Broome county.
His application for Revolutionary War Pension says he was born November 14, 1760 in Little Nine Partners, Dutchess County, and at the time of his enlistment was living in Taghkanic NY. I believe this Jacob Kline married Rachel Loomis in Egremont, Mass. in Nov.11 1783. Children from this union were Jacob (b 3/11/1784; Josiah (b 3/18/1786) and John (b 8/7/1788). Rachel Loomis died on April 11, 1804 in Egremont. Jacob is listed on the 1790 census for Egremont.
Jacob's Revolutionary War Records indicate that he was an enlisted man in the Albany County 9th Regt. of Col. Peter Van Ness and Major Jacob Ford and he is listed on pages 65, 80, & 118 of the Mass Soldiers and Sailors. (a John Kline enlisted in the same Reg at the same time).
Jacob pension application indicates that he was married twice. The first marriage is not listed but the second marriage was to Lucy Weed in 1814 who died when she was 100 years old.
I do not have confirmation yet that Jacob Kline husband of Rachel Loomis is Jacob Kline husband of Lucy Weed but the evidence indicates they are the same person. If anyone has any information or who could check the 1760 baptism I would be so appreciative. karen miller in Calif.
Susan, I found DAR references to Jacob Kline and he was born in Little Nine Partners in 1760 and was living in Taghkanic at the time of his enlistment. (my Jacob died in 1841 at 81 yrs old in Egremont so I am pretty sure this is the same Jacob). Little Nine Partners is only 4 miles from Litchfield Conn. In fact my grandparents from that same area in NY were also married in Litchfield. I believe it will only be a short matter of time before I find your Huldah and my Jacob's family. I have the 1710 Palatine lineages for the Klines up to about 1740 or so-so if I can make the connection with Jacob and/or Huldah's parents I can send you the lineage back to the 1710 immigration. I believe some of Jacob's family married into the Newmans in Egremont and I think one of Jacobs son - John Kline moved to Sheffield. At least that is where he married. He married a Polly Moore.

Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 15:24:32 +0000Susan, here is what I sent to a mailing group I belong to that is looking into the history of the NYS anti-renter disputes and the families that moved to Mass as a result. Jacob Kline's father-in-law was one of the main persons involved during the 1750's anti-renter activities. Jacob Kline was born in Dutchess County and was living in Taghkanic, NY at the time of his Revolutionary War enlistment. If his parents had moved to Conn, by the 1780s I am reasonably certain we will find that the Klines were also involved in the anti-renter activity. I find a Johannes Kline at the same church as Josias Loomis before he moved to Mass. The Loomis family is a very old English New England family whose founding ancestor emigrated in 1639. I am now inclined to think the our Klines are the descendents of Johannes Kline (whose father Peter died the year after they emigrated in 1711 when Johannes was only 2 years old. He had half-siblings as his mother he remarried but he was an only son.) On my next trip back east I will look into John Kline (the son of Jacob Kline who died in Sheffield in 1828) and John Kline (Brother of Jacob Kline who lived in Mount Washington and who I know next to nothing about yet). I will send the 1855 Egremont census data separately. As a note I found George Noteware's children baptismal information on the Berkshire County website so you have the same info I do. Anyway I checked the Great Barrington Church after I found out Josiah Loomis was a member and figured the Kline family also belonged and viola there was George-Hulda and children. karen

Subject: Josiah Loomis
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 22:07:32 +0000Here is some additional information that I have been able to gather about Josiah Loomis.
Josiah Loomis was born in Windsor, Conn on 11 March 1708/09; m 26 April 1732 to Abigail Bacon of Middletown, Conn. He moved to Simsbury, Conn. and from there to Ancram. It appears that his brothers Benajah, Ebenezer, Thomas, and Jacob were already in Ancram or they all came together. Josiah Loomis was an ore digger at the iron mines on Livingston Manor and had been a tenant for 12 years under Livingston by 1751. He, with others, considered that they held their lands under the authority of grants to be secured from Massachusetts, and refused to pay rent to the patroon. Loomis was "warned off" and his crops destroyed in 1753 (Hist. of Columbia County, NY 1878 pp. 37-38). By 1770 Josiah was a member of the Episoppalian Church in Great Barrington, Mass and living in Egremont, Mass. His brothers remained behind in Ancram.
Josiah had 10 children:
Elizabeth b. 6 March 1733 m. Joel Crippen in Egremont.
Abigail b. 27 Feb 1734/35 d. 3 March 1736/37
Josiah b. 19 May 1737
Andrew b. 23 May 1739 m 2 March 1758 Thankful Karner d/o Andrew Carner
Michael b. 5 Sept 1741
Abijah b 10 March 1743/44
Sarah b. 10 Oct 1748
Daniel b 4 April 1750
Benejah b. 15 July 1752
Rachel b. 11 March 1755; m. 11 Nov 1783 Jacob Kline. Rachel and Jacob
had three sons Jacob, Josiah, and John. Jacob and Josiah eventually
moved to Smithville (Chenango County) NY with other Loomis family
members). John moved to Sheffield. Rachel died on 11 April 1804.On 4 Oct 1814 Jacob remarried to Lucy Weed and had four more children; Mark b. 19 Sept 1815, George b 17 Nov 1818 Lucius b 30 July 1820 and Lucy b 28 July 1823. Lucius and Lucy died young. Jacob died on 20 Aug 1841. Lucy died on 20 Sept 1862 and was over 100 years old. George became a blacksmith in Egremont and Mark a shoemaker. They are both listed there in the 1855 census.
