Anna Smith Buckhout"

Extracted from Tarrytown (Sleepy Hollow) Dutch Church, The Second Book, Marriages, Typed Transcript by Florence E. Young, p. 107.

The following is Anna's obituary:

"Obituary - Mrs. Anna Smith

The subject of this brief sketch whose death is chronicled in another column, was born at Saw Mill River, now called Hall's Corners, or Elmsford, on the 12th of August 1790 [or 1?] and died at her residence corner of Broadway and Main street on Sunday morning last, having almost reached the ripe old age of four score and four years. Mrs. Smith was the oldest of eight children of Jane and Jacob Buckhout, five of whom survive her and three have passed away within the six months last past. Six months ago when all were living their combined age was five hundred and ninety-two years, making an average of seventy-four, an age to which few people and scarcely any whole families ever reach. Mrs. Smith passed her maidenhood and childhood at Saw Mill River until January 1812 when she was wedded to Martin Smith, and moved almost immediately to Tarrytown, then but a mere hamlet. In 1821, fifty three years ago, Mrs. Smith moved with her family to the corner of Broadway & Main street, where she resided until her death. She was the mother of six children, four of whom live to mourn her loss. Previous to her marriage, and over sixty years ago, she became a communicant of the Old Dutch Church, but at the death of her husband which occurred in September 1860, she removed her allegiance to the Second Reformed Church, of which she was still a regular attendant, until two years ago, when the weakness attendant upon old age, compelled her to remain at home, though it was with great reluctance and frequent expressions of regret that she ceased her attendance. Her life, as all who knew her can testify, was that of a consistent Christain, quiet and inoffensive, so much so, that in dying she leaves in all her acquaintance none but friends, and among them all not one an enemy, or one who can say aught except in praise of the quiet nature of her life. She leaves a circle of near relatives and friends who will sincerely miss her presence and who can never fill up completely the gap which her loss occasions. But in mourning her they can gather much comfort from the thought that their loss is her gain, that though they have lost a temporary comforter, she has gained everlasting comfort; that though the shadow of death has darkened, seemingly blighted their home, she has gained a home above, and rest in the bosom of the Great Master in whom footsteps she has been walking for seventy years."

Burial Notes: From the reverse of John Pack's gravestone in the Salt Lake City Cemetery:

"Philotte Green
1770 - 1866
His Mother"

The Utah State History Cemetery burials website indicates Philotte was born "May 20, 1770" in "Long Island, NY" and she died / was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery on "Jan. 6, 1866."

General Notes: Philotte's death is recorded in the Salt Lake City Death Register, 1848-1890, p. 66, conservative no. 2604, as follows:

"No. 2604 - Place of Death: 14th Ward; Name: Pack, Philotte; To whom related: Mother of John; Birth: 20 May 1770 at Long Island, New York; Death: 6 Jan 1866 of Old Age; Interment: Plat D, Block 14, Lot 14."

• Burial Location: Salt Lake City Cemetery, 6 Jan 1866, Salt Lake City, UT, United States.

Phylotte married George Pack, son of Job Pack and Unknown, on 1 Apr 1790 in St. John, NB, Canada. George was born about 1770 in New Jersey, died in Sep 1838 in Grand River, Daviess Co., MO, United States aged about 68, and was buried in Sep 1838 in Far West, Caldwell Co., MO, United States.

General Notes: Esther Clark Wright, in "The Loyalists of New Brunswick," Lancelot Press; Hantsport, NS, 1955, p. 317 identifies George Pack as among the Loyalists:

"Pack, George; Ord.; P329, NY'17"

George Pack, no location of origin indicated, found Ordnance Department, and his first land grant would have been in P329, he later removed (likely in abt. 1817 based on the above) to New York.

George is reported to have travelled as a civilian refugee (i.e. not a member of the Military) with unit 45 (most Refugee Loyalists arrived as part of a civilian Military Company) on the ship Mary to New Brunswick. He was enumerated as "1 adult male" on the ship (individuals counted shortly before sailing) and as "1 adult male" in May and June 1784 (from the victualling lists), at the settlement in St. John's.

This information is contained in Appendix VIII Alphabetized List of Refugee Loyalist Households: 1783-84 as found in D.G. Bell's "Early Loyalist Saint John: The Origin of New Brunswick Politics 1783-1786," New Ireland Press: Fredericton, NB, 1983, p. 228. According to the author, p. 172, the above is extracted from records at the "...Public Record Office, London, contained in WO60/33 pts1&2 (company musters at New York and passenger lists on board ship) and T1/609 (victualling lists as Saint John and in the lower Saint John Valley)."

George served as an Ensign in the First Battalion, Kings County Militia, New Brunswick in at least 1807. This was recorded in "The New Brunswick Militia Commissioned Officers' List 1787-1867," by David R. Facey-Crowther, Capital Free Press: Fredericton, NB, 1984, p. 142:

"PACK, George
Ensign 1 December 1807- (?)"

George's death is noted in his son's records, from the Mormon Church, "Temple Life of John Pack:"

"George Pack the Father of John Pack

Died Davis Co. Missoura in the Month Sept. 1838 firm in the faithe and hope of a glorious Resurrection and was buried in the grave yard at Farwest."

334 M i. John Pack was born on 20 May 1809 in St. John, NB, Canada, died on 4 Apr 1885 in Salt Lake City, UT, United States aged 75, and was buried in 1885 in Salt Lake City, UT, United States.

General Notes: The following are excerpts taken from the "Temple Life of John Pack" written in his own hand and preserved on microfilm at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. John was one of the original settlers that journeyed with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and the many other Mormon followers, west from New York, through Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and ultimately into Salt Lake City, UT in 1847:

"May the 17 AD 1846

My father was born in the State of New Jersey his father died when he was five years old and my Father was bound to Mr. Kent until he was twenty one years of age.

They had two Sisters the Eldest name was Nancy the next is my Mother her name is Phylote. When I was eight years of age My Father moved to the State of New York Jefferson County town of Watertown he had five sons and seven daughters..."

John then delves into the lives of his siblings, their families and residences where the they lived.

"...I now Commence with My own history John Pack

225. Nancy Buckhout ⁴⁵⁶ was born on 11 Feb 1786 in New York, United States^¹³¹ and died on 15 Feb 1874 in New York, NY, United States aged 88.

General Notes: This is a portion from the "Reminiscences of Mrs. Richard Lazier" an unpublished work written in August 1893, when she was in her 89th year. Nancy is mentioned by name in this memoir. Mrs. Richard Lazier was Anna Bookhout Appleby, a niece of Anna (Appleby) Bookhout, daughter of Thomas Dorland Appleby, Anna's brother:

"Father [Thomas D. Appleby] had two sisters, Anna, who married John Bookhout, lived on Walker Street, near the theatre on Bowery Street in New York City. Her family was two sons and two daughters. Nancy married Edward Story, an engraver..."

Nancy is listed as William Buckhout's sister in the "Coroner's Reports New York City, 1823-1842" abstracted by Kenneth Scott, published by the NY Genealogical & Biographical Society, 1989, p. 15:

"Bookhout, William - heart disease, b. New York State, age 44 or 45, carpenter by trade. Nancy King is his sister. (7 Sept. 1842)"

The latter date in the transcription is the date of the coroner's inquest.

In the full transcript of the record, it was noted that the Inquest was held at Nancy King's home at 224 Centre St., 14th Ward, New York City.

There is a Nancy King living in the 14th Ward, in the 1840 US Census. The enumerator indicated that she was living between "Hester to Grand [Streets]" which is exactly between where 224 Centre St. lies. So, assuming this is the same Nancy, her family includes 3 small children (1 male 10 < 15 yrs & 2 females 5 < 10 yrs) and herself (1 female 50 < 60 yrs).

In the next twenty years, Nancy is found living with differing family members. The 1850 US Census, Nancy King, age 63 yrs, is living with Perrine & Eliza Riggs, in Sodus, Wayne Co., NY. By the 1860 US Census Nancy King, has returned to New York City and is living with Gustavus A. Fuller and wife, Henrietta. They are in Ward 22, District 1.

The 1870 US Census has Nancy King, living with R.M. Harrington (who was also living with G.A. Fuller and family ten years earlier in the prior census) in 22nd Ward, New York City.

The following obituary appeared in the "New York Herald" newspaper on 16 Feb. 1874, vol. XXXIX, issue 37, p. 9, column 6:

"KING - On Sunday, February 15, Nancy King, aged 88 years and 4 days.

The relatives and friends of the family, also those of her son, Edward Story, are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, from the residence of her son-in-law, G. A. Fuller, 202 West Forty-third street, on Tuesday, February 17, at twelve o'clock."

Nancy next married David King,⁴⁶⁶ son of Unknown and Unknown, about 1820 in New York State, United States. David died before 5 Feb 1844 in New York, NY, United States.^⁵⁸⁸

General Notes: David King, subsequent to his death, and his children, are named in a Legal Notice as potential heirs of Noble King, late deceased in Onondaga Co., NY. The article was published in the "Albany Evening Journal" on 22 Sept. 1857, col. 7, p. 3:

"The People of the State of New York to Major King, residing in Ashtabula, Ohio; Joseph King, residing near Grand Rapids, in the state of Michigan; Hannah Hill, deceased, former wife of Zachariah Hill, left a family of children, whose names and places of residence, after diligent enquiry cannot be ascertained, Elisha King, residing at Sodus, Wayne county, N.Y., John King, whose residence after diligent enquiry cannot be ascertained, brothers and sisters of Noble King, deceased, of full age, the deceased left nephews and nieces, the children of David King, deceased, as follows: Adaline Flinn, the wife of Samuel D.

226. John C. Buckhout ⁴⁵⁶ ^,457 was born about 29 Dec 1793 in New York, United States,^{⁴⁵⁸^,459} died on 29 Mar 1863 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY, United States^{⁴⁵⁸^,459^,460^,461} aged about 69, and was buried about 1 Apr 1863 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY, United States.^{⁴⁶²^,463} Another name for John was John Bookhout.

Death Notes: John's death announcement is found in the "NY Daily Tribune" on March 31, 1863, vol. XXII, issue 6860, p. 5:

"DIED --

BOOKHOUT - Suddenly, on Sunday, March 29 of disease of the heart, John Bookhout, in the 70th year of his age. The relatives and friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend the funeral on Wednesday, April 1, at 10 o'clock a.m. from the residence of the deceased, No. 282 Gold street, Brooklyn."

General Notes: John is found living in NY City from at least the fall of 1818 (as evidenced below) until his disappearance from the City Directories and NY State Census records in 1854/55.

The "Columbian" newspaper in New York City, advertised "Lists of Letters" awaiting pick up at the Post-Office. John is found in the notices from newspapers dated: Oct. 1, 1818 (vol. IX, issue: 2625, p. 2), Oct. 4, 1819 (vol. X, issue: 2924, p. 4) and Apr. 1, 1820 (vol. XI, issue: 2985, p. 2) as:

"John C. Bookhout"

John is then found in the NY City Directories from 1822 to 1854/55 as a Carpenter, and in the later years, 1842 onwards, as a Builder. He could even be the "John Buckhorst, Carpenter" who appears in both the 1820 and 1821 Directories with addresses 5 Rhynders and Orange n. Hester (1820 and 1821 respectively). In 1822, John is listed with his brother, Henry, as Carpenter at 81 Orange St. In the ensuing years, John is recorded at many various locations. In Longworth's 1827 Directory, John is found listed as "Carpenter, 112 Orange" but also as a Surveyor for New-York La Fayette Fire Insurance Company, on p. 40. His last appearance in the City Directories is in 1854/55 where he is found as follows:

Rode's "NY City Directory," p. 81:

"Bookhout, John, builder, 172 Forsyth, h. 143 Suffolk" [h=home]

(Source: Longworth's, Rode's & Doggett's NY City Directories, for various years)

John and his family are found in the 1850 US Census for NY City, Ward 10, p. 228 as follows:

"John Bookhout, age 52 years, Carpenter, born: NY
Eliza Bookhout, age 48 years, born: NY
Anna Bookhout, age 22 years, born: NY
Susan Bookhout, age 20 years, born: NY"

John Bookhout was very active in the community in which he lived. He was appointed a Fireman, City of NY, as follows: Common Council Minutes, Feb. 17, 1823, p. 151.

"The following persons were appointed firemen the Chief Engineer Certifying the Vacancies \endash Hose Company No. 1. [among others] John Brookhout Carpenter 81 Orange [Residence] \endash New Member"

(Source: Minutes of Common Council of City of NY 1784-1831, vol. XII, Sept. 3, 1821 \endash Mar. 31, 1823, 1917, p. 718 [found at the DAR Library, Wash., DC])

John was appointed for a further term as Fireman as follows: Common Council Minutes, May 22, 1826, p. 389.

"The following were appointed Firemen the Chief Engineer certifying the Vacancies.

John was appointed Fireman again as follows: Common Council Minutes, May 21, 1827, p. 38-39.

"The Chief Engineer presented the following return of Firemen which were appointed and the resignations accepted:

Fire Engine Co. No. 39 (?) [among others] John Buckhout - House Carpenter 5th St. near 2d Avenue. Vc John Ellis - Time Expired."

(Source: Minutes of Common Council of City of NY 1784-1831, vol. XVI, Jan. 2, 1827 - Feb. 25, 1828, 1917, p. 309 [DAR Library])

Continuing with his commitment to community service, John was appointed an Inspector for the 14th Ward, NY City on Oct. 5, 1829 (Council Minutes, p. 227) as recorded in the Minutes of the Common Council of City of NY 1784-1832, vol. XVIII, Apr. 20, 1829 - Apr. 19, 1830, 1917, p. 288. Then, was replaced as follows: "Council Minutes, p. 385 - Upon recommendation of Alderman Woodfull & Mr. Engs William C. Wales was appointed Inspector of Election of the 14th Ward in place of John Buckout, who declined serving." (Minutes of the Common Council of City of NY 1784-1832, vol. XVIII, Apr. 20, 1829 - Apr. 19, 1830, 1917, p. 317)

John and his family moved from Manhattan May 1855, and settled in Brooklyn, NY. They are found in the 1855 NY State Census, in the 11th Ward, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Enumeration District 1, recorded on 15 Aug. 1855 as follows:

John married Eliza Muston, daughter of John Muston ⁶⁰⁷ ^,608 and Elizabeth,⁶⁰⁸ on 5 Apr 1820 in New York, NY, United States.⁴⁵⁷ Eliza was born about Jan 1800 in New York, NY, United States,^⁶⁰⁹ died on 10 May 1879 in Pequannock Twp, Morris Co., NJ, United States^⁶¹⁰ aged about 79, and was buried on 13 May 1879 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY, United States.^⁶¹¹ The cause of her death was Carcinoma.⁶¹²

Marriage Notes: John & Eliza's wedding is found in the Madison Ave. Dutch Reformed Church parish records in New York City:

"April 5, 1820 - John C. Bookhoud [sic], son of John Bookhoud, with Eliza Muston, daughter of John Muston, Wednesday evening."

In looking at the original parish entry, it definitely appears that John's name is recorded as "John C. Bookhoud." The middle initial of "C," rather than "G," is supported by the handwriting of both letters in other entries on the same page.

• Marriage Location: Madison Ave. Reformed Church, 5 Apr 1820, New York, NY, United States. ⁴⁵⁷

General Notes: Eliza died on May 10, 1879 at Pompton, NJ as noted in her obituary from the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" newspaper, May 12, 1879, p. 3:

"BOOKHOUT - Died, at Pompton, N.J., on Saturday 10th inst., Eliza, widow of John Bookhout. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, on Tuesday, 13th inst., at 2:30 P.M., from the residence of her son in law, John O. Watkins, 1,215 Dean st., near Brooklyn av."

Eliza's Death Certificate, found in the NJ State Archives, relates additional information. She had been living in Pequannon Twp, Morris Co., NJ for two years at the time of her death in 1879. Her parents were listed as John & Elizabeth Muston, both born in England. Eliza's birth place is noted as New York City and she was 79 yrs and 4 mos. old at her death on May 10, 1879, placing her birth in abt. Jan 1800.

Eliza Bookhout, purchased Lot 149 [Deed #3456], Section 4 in Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY on June 26, 1865. The Cemetery's interment file for this Lot includes the following burial information:

Letters of administration were granted by the Surrogate Court on her estate on or about June 7, 1879:

"Letters of administration were granted on the estates of the following named deceased persons... [among others] Eliza Bookhout... all of the City of Brooklyn."

From the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" newspaper dated June 7, 1879, p. 4.

The application for Administration of Eliza's personal estate was filed May 28, 1879 and granted June 2, 1879 as follows:

"In the matter of the Application for Letters of Administration on the Goods, Chattels and Credits of Eliza Bookhout, Deceased, Intestate, Kings County, City of Brooklyn, SS.

I, Susan A. Watkins of 1215 Dean St. of the City of Brooklyn, do depose and say, that I am the daughter of the said Eliza Bookhout deceased; that the said deceased departed this life at Pompton, New Jersey, while on a visit on the tenth day of May in the year 1879 without leaving any Will or Testatment, that your petitioner was present at the time of her death, and attended the funeral of said deceased... that the deceased died possessed of certain personal property in the State of New York, the value of which does not exceed the sum of about Eleven hundred dollars, as I have been informed and believe; that said deceased left surviving no husband, but three children to wit, Susan A. wife of John O.

Both Edward Bookhout, of Cranford, N.J., and Anna Elizabeth Patterson, of Pompton, N.J., signed away their rights to letters of Administration at Brooklyn, on May 24, 1879. The Letters of Administration were then granted to Susan A. Watkins on June 2, 1879 by the Kings Co., NY Surrogate Court.

342 F i. Adeline A. Bookhout was born on 31 Mar 1821 in New York, NY, United States,^⁶¹⁸ died on 12 Aug 1844 in New York, NY, United States^{⁶¹⁹^,620} aged 23, and was buried about Aug 1844 in New York, NY, United States.^⁴⁷⁷ The cause of her death was Consumption.

General Notes: Obituary Notice from the "New York Herald," Tues., August 13, 1844, vol. X, no. 22:

"On the 12th instant, after a lingering illness, Adeline A. Bookhout, eldest daughter of John & Eliza Bookhout, aged 23 yrs, 4 mos., and 12 days. The friends and relatives of the family are requested to attend her funeral this (Tuesday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from her late residence, No. 33 Mulberry St."

Extrapolating from this obituary, Adeline was likely born on March 31, 1821.

Adeline's death is also recorded in the Manhattan Death Register, 1795-1865, v. 14 as follows:

"Date of Decease: 1844 Aug. 12, Name: Bookhout, Adeline, Residence: 33 Mulberry, Age: 23 yrs 4 mos., Place of Nationality: NY, Disease: Consumption, Cemetery: Brick Ch., Sexton: J.S. Hunt [or Hart?]"

Adeline was originally buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery, located on E. Houston St., between Chrystie and Forsyth Streets, in Manhattan but was removed and reinterred in Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY on Nov. 22, 1865. The Manhattan Cemetery was utilized by the First Presbyterian Church, the Brick Church and Rutgers Street Church for burial purposes. But, like many burials grounds in NY City, interments were banned after 1851, and the property became valuable for other purposes. Thus, the Presbyterian Cemetery property was sold in 1865.

The following is from "Gravestone Inscriptions from the Burial Grounds of the Brick Presbyterian Church" as appeared in the NYGBR, vol. 60, 1929, p. 8:

"The Brick Presbyterian Church was located on Beekman Street, between Park Row and Nassau Street, from 1768 to 1856. Surrounding it was a burial ground, where many members of the church were interred. When the property was sold, in 1856, the bodies and the gravestones were taken to Church Hill in Evergreen Cemetery; except such as were claimed by members of the family.

The Brick Church had also another graveyard on the corner of East Houston and Chrystie Streets. This was sold in 1865, and the bodies and stones from this yard were also taken to Evergreen Cemetery."

Adeline's mother, Eliza Bookhout, purchased Lot 149, Section 4 in Cypress Hills on June 26, 1865 and moved Adeline, her Aunt, Adeline Bookhout and Eliza's mother, Elizabeth Muston, all to the new location in November 1865.

+ 343 M ii. Edward Bookhout was born in Feb 1823 in New York, NY, United States,^⁶²¹ died about 30 Dec 1910^{⁶²²^,623} aged about 87, and was buried on 30 Dec 1910 in Westfield, Union Co., NJ, United States.^⁶²²

344 F iii. Elizabeth Buckhout was born between Feb and Jun 1825 in New York, NY, United States,^{⁶²⁴^,625} died on 19 Nov 1827 in New York, NY, United States,^⁶²⁶ and was buried on 19 Nov 1827 in New York, NY, United States.^⁶²⁷ Another name for Elizabeth was Elizabeth Bookhout.

Death Notes: Elizabeth's death is recorded in the Manhattan Death Register, 1795-1865, v. 6 as follows:

"Date of Decease: 1827 Nov. 19, Name: Bookhout, Eliz'^h, Residence: Orange St., Age: 2 yrs 5 mos., Place of Nativity: NY, Disease: Hives, Cemetery: St. Marks, Sexton: W.D. Disbrowe [sp?]"

Extrapolating from her death, she was likely born in June 1825.

Burial Notes: The following Burial Card from St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery in New York City indicates the following:

"St Mark's Church
Burial Card

Name: Bookhout Elizabeth
Date of Burial: Nov. 19, 1827
Age: 2 yr. 9 mo.
Place of Interment: Vault
Officiant: W. Creighton"

There is no indication which Vault Elizabeth was placed in and the Church has no further information. Her date of death, residence, cause of death and place of service were not completed on the card.

+ 346 F v. Susan A. Bookhout was born in Jun 1834 in New York, NY, United States,^{⁶²⁹^,630} died on 2 Feb 1902 in New York, NY, United States^⁶³¹ aged 67, and was buried on 4 Feb 1902 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY, United States.^{⁶³¹^,632}

General Notes: Henry was born about 1800 in either Dutchess Co., NY or New York City, as reported in various marriage and/or military records. The evidence is conflicting but most likely he was born near Fishkill, Dutchess Co., New York to parents John Buckhout and Anna Appleby. Certainly he indicates his parents as "John and Anne(a) Buckhout" in marriage records throughout his life and these were the only couple of that name in New York state having children in/about 1800. However, at this time, very little is known about Henry's early years. After his father's death in 1820, he appears to have briefly moved to NY City and is residing with other family members before leaving to go north into Ontario, Canada.

Henry is listed in "Longworth's 1822/23 NY City Directory" with his brother John as follows:

"Bookhout, John, carpenter, 81 Orange [Henry"

On p. 1 of the directory it states: "In the arrangement observed through this Directory, the christian names of those, where there are more than one of the same surname, are correctly alphabeted..."

It isn't clear exactly when Henry left New York City, or if he married there or further northward, but he is next found in a "Nominal List of the Inhabitants of Asphodel" which was a Muster Roll of men aged 16-60 years of Asphodel Township that was taken on April 19, 1822:

"Bockout, Hendry [sic] No. 3 Concession: 6 Lot No.: 4"

(Roger's Family Fonds; F533-1-0-23; Ont. Archives Film MS522)

Henry carries on finding work and laboring in the back townships of Newcastle District. He reappears in the Land Tax Assessment & local Census Records in Percy Twp, Newcastle District, Ontario in 1824 (Library & Archives Canada, Film M7745), as follows:

"Henry Buckhout, 2 milk cows"

Also, in the 1824 Census for Percy & Seymour Twps, List of Inhabitants, for Percy Twp, filed Apr. 13, 1824 as:

"Henry Beokhout [sic] and wife
2 M < 16 yrs; 1 M > 16 yrs; 1 F > 16 yrs; 4 total"

(Source: Trent University Archives, Peterborough, Ont., Ref. 84-021, Box 1, Folder 8). Very little else is known about Henry's first wife, other than the notation in the 1900 US Census for son Stephen Bookhout, residing in Jefferson Co., NY, which states that both is parents were born in "New York."

In 1825, for Percy & Seymour Twp Census, Newcastle District, Ontario:

"Henry Buckout

Total = 5 members"

The third male child, born between 1824 and 1825, noted above has not been identified.

Henry then moved back to northern NY state by at least 1826/7 where he is found in the 1827 City Directory for Rochester, NY as a "householder" in the 5th Ward, on p. 10:

"Bookaut [sic], Henry, labourer, Andrews St."

According to the title page of the Directory it represents "..the names, residence and occupation of all male inhabitants over fifteen years of age in said village on the first of January, 1827..." The Directory listing is divided into two parts; those that represent "householders" and those that are "boarders." The move back to Rochester fits with information about Stephen Bookhout, one of Henry's sons, whose birth was in June 1827 in "New York" (as noted in the 1900 US Census).

In the 1829 "Rochester Daily Advertiser & Telegram" Henry is found in a listing of those for whom "Letters [are] Remaining in the Post Office at Rochester November 1st, 1828."

Henry enlisted in the US Army at Rochester, Monroe Co., NY on Feb. 14, 1829 and deserted one month later. The entry in the Register of Enlistments reads as follows:

"Bookhout, Henry, age 29 yrs, 5' 7", grey eyes, light hair, light complexion, born Dutchess Co., NY, Occupation: Mason, enlisted for 5 yrs on Feb. 14, 1829 at Rochester, NY by Lt. Pendleton, 2 Inf. D., Deserted: March 21, 1829"

(Source: "War Department, Register of Enlistments, US Army, 1798 - 1914," RG94, Film M233, vol. 38, p. 14, entry #43)

Henry's enlistment papers also include his actual signature (in two places), and that he was paid a bounty of $6 for joining the service for a "period of five years."

Thus, Henry was in the Rochester area from, at least, early 1827 until the end of March 1829. Possibly as a result of his desertion from the military, Henry, and his family, moved westward to Buffalo and back into Ontario again in the following years.

The following information chronicles the Bookhout family moving from NY state into Canada. This is a portion of an email from Polly Bookhout (great-granddaughter of Stephen Bookhout) dated Feb. 27, 2001:

"America of the Frontiersmen's Sons"
Excerpts from an unpublished paper by Russell Bookhout

"Somewhere in the Rip Van Winkle country of the Katskills there may be a village where most of the inhabitants are of my family name. It may be only a folktale, however, for it was years ago that my grandfather [Stephen Bookhout] told me of it, and his parents left it when he was a baby.

When my great-grandfather, his wife and two boys left eastern New York, they moved by oxcart into the wilderness south of where Buffalo now is. When store goods were needed, or a letter had to be posted, they two children were left with a nearby tribe of Indians where they lived happily until a few weeks later their parents returned behind the ox-team from the nearest trading post. My father [Levi Bookhout] was born across the line in Ontario while my grandfather was helping lumber off that province and quite a bit later, and many hundred miles farther west, my two brothers and I were born on a Wisconsin farm. In each generation, some, like my father, settled down. Like his brothers, I didn't, nor have I yet."

Information from Polly Bookhout on her research trip to Salt Lake City in March 2001:

"My first advisor was very pleased with the Ontario census records you've discovered and with my ggrandfather's story of travelling through New York state to an area south of Buffalo. She said, "Of course, the Genesse Trail." Later, I saw maps of this and other trails west, along with chapters about this area in Lockwood Doty's "History of Genesse Country.""

Henry reappears in the Percy Township, (then Newcastle District) Northumberland Co., Ontario Assessment Records in 1833 with a milk cow, a wife and 2 sons less than 16 years of age. It does not appear that he owns any land, but is more likely a laborer. The land owner immediately preceding his name in the register is Jacob Bull, Concession 3, Lots 12 & 13.

Henry and family continue living in Percy Township for a number of years. In the 1836 Assessment records, there is an entry of "Stephen Bookhout," again immediately after Isaac Bull, Concession 3, Lot 4. The same four family members are indicated. Is it possible that this is also Henry? Maybe his middle name was Stephen, or the enumerator made a clerical error and confused Henry with his son, Stephen (who would have been about 9 yrs old at the time)? This reference to a Stephen Bookhout does not appear again in the Percy Assessment records from 1808 to 1847.

By the 1837 Percy Assessment records, Henry is directly following George Zufelt, Concession 5, Lot 12 East. The family still consists of Henry, wife and two sons under 16 years of age but no property is indicated. However, in the 1838 Percy Assessment records, Henry is finally listed on a piece of land: Concession 5, Lot 12 with 20 acres under cultivation and 80 acres uncultivated. As well, he now has two milk cows. It is possible that he purchased the property from George Zufelt. In addition, the family has grown to include 2 males > 16 years, 2 females > 16 yrs and 2 boys < 16 yrs. Is it possible that another couple have temporarily joined the family? It is impossible for Henry and his wife to have had another son and daughter (now > 16 yrs) in the time period.

The Percy Twp Census records in March of 1839, show Henry once again with 2 boys less than 16 yrs of age and presumably a wife (female > 16 yrs). This census also indicates the family belonged to the Church of England. In most other instances, Henry and his family members are shown as Episcopal Methodist.

Henry then moves closer to Lake Ontario and appears in the Cramahe Township Census records in April of 1840 with the same four family members in his household (1 wife and 2 sons under 16 yrs of age). This first wife's name is still unknown, but from later records his sons are identified as Levi & Stephen Bookhout. Henry is not listed in the 1841 Cramahe Twp Census or 1841 and 1842 Land Assessment records.

On Oct. 15, 1843, Henry married Agnes Nancy (Miller) Milligan, widow of Robert Milligan. His first wife passed away sometime prior to this marriage. Henry and Agnes' first child, Henry (Harry) was born about 1844 and Adeline followed in 1845/6.

From the 1844 Assessment Records for Cramahe Twp, Henry and family appear living on Lot 5, Concession 4, northeast part. At this time, Heny has one acre under cultivation and the family has one milk cow. The total assessed value was £4. This is the same property that Robert Milligan and his wife were living on prior to his death. It is likely that Henry & Agnes remained on this property after their marriage.

On May 27, 1844 Henry's son, Levi, from his first marriage, died accidently near the Common School house in the 4th Concession, Cramahe Twp, when he fell off a two wheeled carriage hauling a timber log and was run over by one of the wheels. He died almost immediately afterwards.

In 1845, the family is still living on the same property but it is indicated as just the "eastern" part. In 1846, the same lot and concession are indicated but the part is now showing as "mid." In these later instances, the family still has only one acre under cultivation with one milk cow. The 1847 Assessment Records do not list any property for Henry, but he is shown as having one "square or hewn log house < 2 storey" assessed at £20.

Henry Bookout appears in the 1848 Cramahe Twp census records as a laborer and proprietor of land. The family was living on Lot 4, Concession 3 with a number of other families. Obediah Simpson and Wilmot Wells are also recorded as proprietors of land for the same concession and lot. Henry owned "1 neat cattle" and the farm produced 30 lbs of maple sugar.

Sometime around 1849, Henry and Agnes had another son, named Charles.

By the 1850 Cramahe Twp census, Henry Bookout had moved to Lot 4, Concession 4. He is shown as a 'non proprietor' of land with a family of six. Likely as follows:

1 male married 40 and not 60 yrs = Bookhout, Henry
1 female married 40 and not 60 yrs = Bookhout, Agnes [implying she was born abt. 1810; given we know she had a final child in Feb. 1851]
1 male 10 and under 14 yrs = Bookhout, ? [unknown son, or possibly John M. Milligan, son of Agnes' first husband, Robert Milligan?]
1 male 5 and under 10 yrs = Bookhout, Henry [aka Harry]
1 female 2 and under 5 yrs = Bookhout, Adeline
1 male 1 and under 2 yrs = Bookhout, Charles

In addition to the above, the family had 1 "neat cattle" and their farm produced "20 yards of flannel or other unfulled cloth."

Stephen, Henry's eldest living son from his first marriage, married in February of 1850 and is living with his wife, Phoebe, in Brighton Twp, Northumberland Co., Ontario. On February 7, 1851, Henry and Agnes had their last child, Robert Emmerson Bookhout.

The 1852 Cramahe Assessment, shows Henry Bookout [sic] as a "freeholder" [unproven] of land living on Lot 14 of Concession 3. The real property was valued at 10£, his personal property at 3£, for a total of 13£. The tax due was 2d. A further General School Tax of 2d, Town/Township rate of 2d, and Lunatic Asylum levy of 1d was applied. His total tax burden for 1852 totalled 9d.

In 1861, Henry Buckout is listed as a 61 yr old laborer, widower, in the Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont. Census, taken on the evening of Jan. 13, 1861. In the same census, Henry's son, Henry Jr., is listed as "male family member absent" with an estimated age of 16 yrs, placing his birth in 1844. Other children shown in this census are: Adaline aged 15 yrs, Charles aged 13 yrs [? hard to decipher] and Robert aged 9 yrs. Henry married again in March, 1861 to Mary Ryckman, daughter of Edward & Mary (Zufelt) Ryckman. In the marriage register he lists his birthplace as the "United States" and his parents as "John & Anna." So, his wife Agnes has to have passed away by Jan. 13, 1861, the date the census was taken.

Henry married once again on February 5, 1864 to Abigail Ryckman. They had a daughter, Annie [possibly Annie Mary?] born Nov. 9, 1863 likely in Cramahe Twp. In the registry information for this final marriage, Henry indicates his birth place as "New York City" with parents "John & Anne," and his age as 61 yrs. Henry's last appearance in the Canadian Census records is in 1871 in Cramahe Township where he is living with Matthias McCoy's family as a 71 yr old widower. This final census record also shows Henry as born in the United States and Episcopal Methodist. Interestingly, his origin is first written as "American" and then crossed out and "German" is written above it. The daughter, Mary, aged 6 years is living nearby with Joseph & Amanda Cunningham.

The spelling of this surname varies from: Boeckhout, Boekhout, Buckhout, Bookhout, Brokhout, to Buckout etc. It appears to have been recorded inconsistently.

General Notes: Levi died as a young adult in Cramahe Twp, Newcastle District (Northumberland County), Ontario on May 27, 1844. The following is taken from the Coroner's Court Records and outlines the circumstances of his death and inquest following:

"Newcastle District

+ 349 M iii. Stephen Bookhout was born in Jun 1827 in New York, United States,^{⁶⁴⁶^,648} died on 8 Mar 1918 in Lowville, Lewis Co., NY, United States^{⁶⁴⁹^,650^,651^,652} aged 90, and was buried on 11 Mar 1918 in Lowville, Lewis Co., NY, United States.^⁶⁵¹

Henry next married Agnes Nancy Miller ⁶⁵³ ^,654 ^,655 on 15 Oct 1843 in Brighton Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.⁶⁵⁶ Agnes was born about 1810^⁶⁵⁷ and died before 5 Mar 1861 in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.^⁶⁵⁸

Marriage Notes: Henry & Nancy's marriage is found in the Newcastle District (now Northumberland County), Marriage Register 1839-1851, Book B (v. 17):

"Henry Bookhout, Nancy Milligan, both of Cramahe. 15 Oct. 1843, by banns. Rev. Beal. Witnesses: Ira Hodges and Sarah Hodges"

The Minister added some additional details at the bottom of the page:

"I do hereby certify that the above Marriages were lawfully done by me [signed ?] Richard Beal, Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada in the Newcastle District .. this thirteenth day of ? [word] 1843. Signed: Richard Beal, Minister, Brighton"

Original entry found on Ont. Archives Film MS 248, Reel 3.

• Married By: Rev. Richard Beal, Episcopal Methodist Minister, 15 Oct 1843, Brighton Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.

• Witnesses: Ira & Sarah Hodges, 15 Oct 1843, Brighton Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.

General Notes: While certainly Agnes has to have passed away before Henry married Mary Ryckman in March 1861, it is more likely she was already deceased by Jan. 13, 1861. This was the night on which the Census was taken and Henry was reported as a "widower."

+ 351 F ii. Adeline Bookhout was born between 1845 and 1846 in Brighton Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada,^{⁶⁶²^,663^,664} died on 6 Oct 1889 in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada,^⁶⁶⁵ and was buried in 1889 in Shiloh Cemetery, Con 6, Lot 15, Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co.

352 M iii. Charles Bookhout was born about 1849 in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.^{⁶⁶⁶^,667}

General Notes: Charles' year of birth may have been about 1848 or 1849. The 1861 Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont. census indicates he would be 13 (but very hard to decipher) on his next birthday.

In 1866, Charles is found in the "Calendar of Prisoners for Quarter Sessions September 1866" for the Common Jail in Cobourg, Ont. with his step-brother Stephen as follows:

"#23: Charles Buckout, age 18, born: Canada, crime: Felony, whom committed: O. A. Carpenter, date committed: Aug. 9, 1866

# 35: Stephen Buckout, age 40, born: S. N. York, crime: Assault, whom committed: H. Squire, date committed: Aug. 29, 1866, remarks: Sentenced."

Charles and Margaret were married in April 1875 in Peterborough, Ontario. Charles' parents are listed on the wedding registration as Henry & Agnes Bookhout and his age is indicated as 26 years in 1875, placing his birth in approximately 1849.

+ 354 F i. Annie Bookhout was born on 18 Nov 1863 in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co., Ont., Canada.^{⁶⁸³^,684}

General Notes: Amelia died in Jackson, Jackson Co., MI on June 12, 1879 at the age of 78 years. She died of pneumonia. In the Michigan State Vital Records for Jackson Co., she was listed as a "widow" and born in "New York." Her parent's names were not indicated.

Amelia married Richard Gale, son of John Gale and Martha, before 1823 in Onondaga Co., NY, United States. Richard was born about 1789 in New York, NY, United States and died on 26 Apr 1869 in Apalachin, Tioga Co., NY, United States aged about 80.

General Notes: Richard Gale, and growing young family, appear in the US Census records for Onondaga County in both 1830 and 1840 living at Spafford. In 1830, they are living next door to Philip Appleby and a few families away from Thomas Appleby, relatives of Amelia's mother Anna Appleby.

Richard Gale
1 male < 5 yrs
2 males 5 < 10 yrs
1 male 40 < 50 yrs
3 females < 5 yrs
1 female 5 < 10 yrs
1 female 20 < 30 yrs

Assuming all of the seven individuals less than 10 years of age in 1830 are Richard and Amelia's children, then they must have married before 1823 or some may be from a prior marriage?

On Apr. 12, 1836, Richard & Amelia of the town of Spafford, in consideration of $150, conveyed to Messier Barker, also of Spafford, a parcel of land in the town of Spafford, formerly Marcellus, commonly known as "part of lot number Eighty nine." The land was "bounded as follows to wit. Beginning in the center of the road (which runs north and south through the village of Borodino) at the northwest corner of land owned by John C. Hillibert [sp?] thence runs east on the north line of said Hillibert's land twenty four rods thence north on the west line of land owned by Jonathan Turnbull twenty rods thence west to the centre of the road thence south along the center of the road to the place of beginning..." The instrument was signed by Richard and Amelia Gale, and recorded by John Collins, Commissioner of Deeds, Onondaga Co., NY on 10th day of April 1837, and is found in Onondaga Co. Land Deeds, vol. 66, p. 81.

By 1840 the family mix has changed as follows:

1 male 5 < 10 yrs
2 males 15 < 20 yrs
1 male 40 < 50 yrs
1 female < 5 yrs
1 female 5 < 10 yrs
2 females 10 < 15 yrs
1 female 30 < 40 yrs

On Nov. 13, 1840, Richard & Amelia of the town of Spafford, in consideration of $600, conveyed to John Van Voorhis, also of Spafford, 60 acres of land in the town of Spafford, commonly known as "part of lot number forty three in the original township of Tully." The land was "bounded and described as follows (viz) Beginning at a Stake and stories standing in the north line of said lot forty three at the distance of twenty two chains and forty two links east of the north west corner thereof runs thence south to land now owned by Martin E. Knapp thence east on said Martin E. Knapp's north line to land now owned by Andrew Odell [sp?] thence north to the northwest corner of Andrew Odell [sp?] land east to the centre of the highway thence northerly along the centre of said highway to the southeast corner of James Smith's land thence west along said Smith's south line to the southwest corner thence north to the north line of said lot number Forty three thence west on the north line of said lot to the place of the beginning..." The instrument was signed by Richard and Amelia Gale, and recorded by John Collins, Commissioner of Deeds, Onondaga Co., NY on 14 March 1841, and is found in Onondaga Co. Land Deeds, vol. 77, p. 432.

Sometime before 1850, the family moved to Owego in Tioga Co., NY and are found living there in the 1850 US Census.

The family members, all born in New York, include:

Richard Gale, age 61years, Farmer
Amelia Gale, age 49 years

General Notes: William had a nautical career and served as lieutenance or mate on the 'Snap Dragon,' a captured American privateer. The story is mentioned in "Under the Red Jack: Privateers of the Maritime Provinces of Canada in the War of 1812" by Charles Henry Jeremiah Snider, published by M. Hopkins & Co., London in 1928, p. 209-214:

"Another New Brunswick letter-of-marque which had a colourful career under the Stars and Stripes before hoisting the Red Jack was the 'Snap Dragon' of St. John. The name is spelled in two words in her original papers. She began as a North Carolina cruiser, and is credited with having captured two British barques, five brigs and three schooners. Many of these vessels she burned at sea. One of her prizes, the brig 'Ann,' is said to have had a cargo of dry-goods worth half a million dollars; a statement to be accepted with some hesitation. Eighteen owners, one of them being Increase Bradley, of Newbern, N.C., fitted the 'Snap Dragon' out again for privateering in May, 1814, and sent her to sea under a new commander, Capt. William Richards Graham, of Virginia..."

The 'Snap Dragon' encountered two ships on the day she was captured by the British. First, the 'Osbourne,' an English packet-ship of 463 tons, which sent two 9-pound shots into the 'Snap Dragon's side and caused her to veer course away to plug the holes. Later, that same day, she encountered the 'Martin,' a British cruiser gun-brig. "She made short work of the 'Snap Dragon.' She could outsail her, and she was much too heavy to the 'Snap Dragon' to fight. So down came the young Virginian captain's colours... The 'Snap Dragon' was sent into Halifax as a prize, and Messrs. Curry and Hanford, of St. John, N.B., bought her on condemnation.

As an American privateer she had carried one 12-pounder and five 6-pounder guns, and her crew numbered eighty. Her American measurement was 147 tons. In her British warrant she is described as of 160 tons - there being often differences in measurement between British and American surveys. John Roy, and the obliging Samuel Cunard, of Halifax, who was also bail for the St. John privateer 'Dart,' were her bondsmen. Capt. James Reid, formerly of the New Brunswick privateer 'Hare,' and an early lighthouse keeper in St. John, was her master. William Buckhout was named as lieutenant or mate, and she reported a crew of theirty men, as a British letter-of-marque -- and a musket and a cutlass for each..."
