2Bev McConnell, Martindale Family History, 1759 - Present, Bev McConnell, 16808 91 St., Edmonton AB Canada T5Z 1W6, p.500. "THOMAS & LUCY MARTINDALE
Our travel in time takes us back to meet our forefathers, Thomas and Lucy Martindale. Thomas Martindale was born about 1759 as he was eighty-four at the time of his death in 1843. Lucy (maiden name unknown but due to the fact that two of their children bear the name Bennet, it is a good possibility that her maiden name was Bennet.) was born about 1772 in New York. Lucy was seventy-nine at the time of her death in 1851. These two lovely people met, married and the rest is our family history.
We are not sure where Thomas or Lucy were born. Although it is interesting to note that on the US Census for the town of Weston, Clark County, Wisconsin for Samuel Martindale it lists his Father's place of birth as England and his Mother's place of birth as New York.
Thomas was enumerated as a single person in Wellsburgh, Clinton, New York in 1790. He married rather late in life, as he was about thirty-one when he married Lucy who was quite a bit younger (approximately twelve or thirteen years). On the 1800 Census Thomas is enumerated in Crown Point, Essex, New York with five children. Therefore, Lucy and Thomas Martindale probably married shortly after the 1790 Census was enumerated. There were three boys and two girls in the family at the time. In 1810 Thomas and Lucy were living in Ticonderoga, Essex, New York and had three boys and six girls.
Thomas and family moved to Orwell, Vermont in late 1813 or early 1814. Orwell land records show the purchase of land in February 1814 by Thomas Martindale of Ticonderoga, Essex, New York from Clark Sanford. Thomas purchased an estimated thirty-five acres of land, part of Lot No. 187 for One Hundred and Five Dollars. That December the family was given a "Warning Out".
The following is taken From Orwell Land Records - Vol 6, Pg. 307
"'State of Vermont ' Rutland County, to the Sheriff of Constable of Orwell you are hereby commanded to notify and warn David Hubbard his wife and family Samuel Field his wife and family Thomas Martindall his wife and family Richard Hunter his wife and family Henry Bliss his wife and family Sylvester Field and his wife Levi Davis his wife and family all Residing in Orwell to Depart this town forthwith Hereof fail not, but of this precept, and your doings thereon make due return according to law.
Dated at Orwell this 27th day of December A.D. 1814.
Orwell December 31st 1814 1 thus served this: Precept on the within named David Hubbard wife and family Richard Hunter wife and family Sylvester Field his wife and family Levi Davis his wife and family by leaving a true copy of the precept in the hands of each of their wives and on the same day on Samuel Field his wife and family Henry Bliss his wife and family by leaving a true copy of this precept in their hands with this my return hereon thereon enclosed.
Attest David Cook Constable
(It isn't known if the constable couldn't find Thomas and family to serve the Warning Out or if they proved they could support themselves at that time.)
Fees 12 miles travel $0.72
Six Copys $1.02
$1.74
Received to Record Jany 10th 1815
Attest ? Smith, Town Clerk"
On April 16, 1817 the following was published in the Rutland Weekly Herald "Delinquent property taxpayers list for year 1816 according to an Act of Congress. Gives acreage and bounds. Lands to sold at Benson at John Kellogg's office, he is deputy collector.
......... Orwell: Josiah Austin; Charles P. Allen; ; James Q. McFarland; Thomas
Martindale; Henry Moore; "
By 1820 two sons and four daughters still lived with their parents, Thomas and Lucy, in Orwell.
While the farm Thomas and Lucy lived on was sufficient to support themselves and a young family, it wasn't large enough to support the children as they grew up and married. During this time period as sons married, they had to find their own land, and that was very often done by moving west or up into Canada where there was new land. The daughters would marry and become the responsibilities of their husbands.
In 1830 only one male, probably Samuel and two females, possibly Rebecca and Jane, were living at home with Lucy and Thomas Martindale in Orwell.
The Manual of Congregational Church in Orwell, Vermont published in 1856 (held at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont) lists Martindales. It appears
that Samuel Martindale and Rebecca Martindale are two of the known children of
and Lucy Martindale and that Parmelia Munger, recorded as a member in 1830 would marry Benajah Martindale in 1831. Rebecca Martindale would marry Alvah Munger later on. J.
The names were recorded in the order in which they joined and since Electa Martindale and Parmelia Munger are next to each other it appears to be a reasonable conjecture that these
two soon to be sisters-in-laws joined the church together. This was the link we
needed to
connect Electa Martindale to our family.
On March 12, 1834, Thomas leased the "'Jimmy Hoar lot" of 19 acres on the south line of lot
No. 172, 3rd division for Thirty-five Dollars. On January 15, 1835, Thomas transferred all right to this lease to Nathan Woodward of Orwell for Seventy-five Dollars.
Due presumably to age Thomas transferred the farm to his son Benajah B. Martindale in October 1836. In return Benajah had to "'take care of him the said Thomas Martindale my honoured Father & my Mother Lucy Martindale the wife of the said Thomas during their and each of their natural lives and at all times furnish for them suitable and sufficient meat, drink, washing, lodging house room, and fire wood, clothing, medical aid, and assistance when necessary and in general all things necessary to them the said Thomas and Lucy as comfortable as is consistent with the age and circumstances for and during the full term of their natural lives..." This agreement lasted less than six months. On March 30, 1837,
Thomas Martindale discharged the mortgage in full and cancelled the conditions of the mortgage.
On March 30, 1837, Benajah B. Martindale transferred the land to Sam (Samuel) Martindale. There are further records of this land transaction all involving the original Thomas Martindale farm. Samuel, the youngest son, had taken over the responsibilities of his parents so that Benajah could eventually move to Erie County, New York.
In 1840 Samuel was now living on the Martindale family farm and looking after his parents, Thomas and Lucy Martindale, as agreed upon earlier.
From various land records it is noted that Thomas Martindale could not write as his mark is placed on the document instead of a signature.
Thomas died March 30, 1843 at Orwell, Rutland, Vermont. He is buried in the North Cemetery in the Town of Orwell, Vermont.
Lucy lived with her youngest son, Samuel, as per the agreement made on the transfer of the Martindale farm, until her death on April 28, 1851 at Orwell, Rutland, Vermont. Lucy is also buried in the village cemetery (North Cemetery, Orwell).
According to the various censuses and trying to put two and two together we think Thomas and Lucy Martindale had thirteen children. In subsequent chapters you will discover how each child married and carried on their own branches of the family to make the Martindales a widely spread family.".

"BENJAMIN FRANKLIN NUTTING, an elderly resident of the village of Loyal, where he and his wife are much esteemed, has been a resident of Loyal Township since 1867, and for many years lived an active and somewhat strenuous life, first as lumberman and afterwards as a pioneer farmer. He was born in the township of Madison, Somerset County, Maine, Jan. 1, 1840, son of Josiah and Abial (Ames) Nutting. Both parents were natives of Maine, in which state they were married, residing there subsequently for about twenty-four years, Josiah working at farming and shoemaking. Four children were born to them: Josiah Marshall, James Melvin, Chandler Baker and Benjamin Franklin (subject of this sketch)., After the death of his wife, Abial, Josiah Nutting came to Clark County, Wis., and here contracted a second marriage. His son, Josiah M., died in Maine. James M., the-second son, came west a few months after his father, and the third son, Chandler B., joined a Maine volunteer cavalry regiment and served through the Civil War.
In the fall of 1860 B. F. Nutting came west alone, locating in La Crosse, Wis., where he was hired as a lumberman to work in the woods. In this kind of work he was engaged for thirty winters, taking part in twenty-six spring drives. At the age of 27 he was married to Josephine Hayden, daughter of William D. and Naomi (Lawrence) Hayden, the marriage taking place July 30, 1867, in Skowhegan, Maine, he having made the trip East for that purpose. Returning to Wisconsin with his wife, Mr. Nutting bought 120 acres of wild land -in Loyal Township, Clark County, also buying a small house, which he moved onto the place. This farm he developed during the summers, getting his supplies from La Crosse. During the twenty-two years that he spent on it he cleared about sixty acres, built an addition onto the house and erected a barn, 40 by 60 feet. He raises cattle, sheep, hogs and horses.
In 1901 he bought a residence in the village and moved to town, where he and his wife are now living in the enjoyment of a well-earned competency. On July 20, 1917, they will celebrate their golden wedding. While on the farm Mr. Nutting served for a number of years as a member of the township board, and as a good citizen, he has always taken an interest in all measures for the benefit of the community in which he resides.
He and his wife have three children: Clifford H., William J. and Dumont H. Clifford H., born in Maine, married Lottie Demouth and lives on a farm in Clark County. He and his wife have four children-Erma, Robert, Reuben and Emma. William J., who was born in Beaver Township, Clark County, married May Smith and resides in that township. He has two children-Naomi and Rudel. Dumont H. married Flossie Greeley and resides in Butternut, Wis. His children are: Franklin, Mildred, Ronald and Josephine. While in the township Mr. Nutting served as a member of the town board. He is a member of the I.O.O.F. of Greenwood. Mrs. Nutting, at one time, was a member of the Rebekah Lodge. The family church is the Methodist."2Clark Co., WI Internet Library, ALHN & AHGP website, tombstone photo.
