BIRDSALL FAMILY.
Salem, Mass , 1600's

BIRDSALL FAMILY.
First Generation.
Just when HENRY Birdsall came to this country is not known, but he was admitted to the Church in Salem, Mass., in 1638, and on 2 Mar 1638, he was made a freeman, and at the Quarter Court held the 25 Jan 1639, he was a juryman.

29 Jun 1639, Judith Birdsall married Henry Cook of Salem. 3 Dec 1644, Henry Burtsell was chosen to keep the Meeting House, to sweep it and keep it clean upon all occasions of public meetings and to have yearly £15 and 15 shillings and on 12 of Mar 1647, he received payment of £3 and 17 shillings.

10 Oct 1649, Henry Cook of Salem, butcher, for £10 mortgaged his house, shop and one acre adjoining in Salem, to Henry Birdsall. Sep 1651, inventory of Henry Birdsall's estate returned by Thomas Trusler and Edmund Batter. Estate £47, 19 shillings.

16 Feb 1654, Nathan Birdsall for valuable consideration hath sold unto Henry Cook five acres of land, with Joseph Pope on north side and Richard Bishop on south side.

Henry Cook died 25 Dec 1661, leaving his widow Judith adm. She was living in North Fields, Salem, in 1667.

Second Generation.
NATHAN Birdsall, son of Henry, first appears on Long Island as per records, at East Hampton, 5 Jul 1653. "Nathan Birdsall, 3 akers more or less with Joshua Garlick on one side and piece of waste on the other." 6 Jul 1655, "Nathan Birdsall, his part of two lots, etc." 4 Dec 1656, at Town Meeting, "it is also ordered that Goodman Burdsell shall have one acre of land upon ye ould Eastern Plaine that was Goodman Davis."

27 Dec 1659, Nathan makes deposition in case of Humphrey Hues. Nathan was also one of the syndicate in the purchase of Montauk from the Indians.
20 Apr 1664, Nathan Birdsall, planter, sells for 50 pounds sterling to John Oldfield, tanner, all his accommodations, 13-acre lot, house, etc., with woodland and meadow, probably preparing to move to Matinecock, near Oyster Bay.

In the year 1661, Thomas Terry and Samuel Deering, two Englishmen from the eastern part of Long Island, adjacent to East Hampton, entered into a contract with the Magistrates of the town of Hempstead, at that time claiming jurisdiction over the territory of Matinecock, to settle at least seven families thereat. Nathan Birdsall was one of those seven and first appears of record in the town of Oyster Bay, 3 Feb 1666, as purchasing 50 acres of Marks Megs, being land "on which Nathan Burcham now lives." On 22 Feb 1667, he purchased sixty acres more of the Indians, which he later assigned to his sons Stephen and Henry. Nathan died abt. 1698, and five of the sons agreed to abide by the division of the property of their father as made in his life time. They were, Benjamin, Stephen, Samuel, William and Nathan. Subsequent disposition show other sons, Nathaniel and Henry. No daus. have been discovered and the name of his wife is not yet known.

Third Generation.
BENJAMIN BIRDSALL the oldest son of Nathan first appears in Oyster Bay, 20 Feb 1684-85 with brother Steven, and buys of the Indians 100 acres of land on north side of Littleworth Path where he probably built a house and improved the land. On 8 Feb 1688-89 his ear mark is recorded in Hempstead and he was doubtless occupying property bought by his father of Lawrence Mott in the year 1679-80 at a place called New Brittain, Birdsall's Brook and Jerusalem.

Benjamin md. abt. 1682 Mercy, dau. of Samuel and Miriam (Hoyt) Forman, and the following children were born to them:
Elizabeth, b. 1683, md. Nathaniel Townsend.
Susannah, b. 1685, md. John Underbill.
Samuel, b. 1687, md. Sarah Wright (?).
Benjamin, b. 1691, md., 1st, 1728, Charity Haviland; 2nd, 1735, Elizabeth Hopkins.
Miriam, b. 1693.
John, b. 1696, md. Elizabeth Langdon.
Zilpha, b. 1699.
Sarah, b. 1702.
Zibyah(?) b. 17(?).
Nathan, b. 1705.

Fourth Generation.
NATHAN, born 1705, md. by Rev. Thomas Poyer, Rector of the Parish Church of Jamaica, 12 Apr 1726, Jane, dau. of John Langdon. Both were from Hempstead.

We next find NATHAN, born 1705, as being the first settler on Quaker Hill, Dutchess County, N.Y., where he is supposed to have settled in 1728, arriving there with one child. Some students claim he reached there via of Purchase, as his name appears on the early Quaker records of that place, but there is a possibility that he came via Danbury and Ridgefield as a Birchard is interested in the first purchase from the Indians, also in Ridgefield. Nathan is said to have settled on land now owned by Albro Haines and he and his wife lived to be about ninety years of age and were bur. in the Quaker cemetery in Haviland Hollow, Dutchess Co., N. Y. Nathan did not move to Haviland Hollow until the close of the Rev. War. There are no stones in the old cemetery to mark their resting place, owing probably to the objections the Quakers had to such markers at that time, and when the compiler of these notes visited Haviland Hollow in 1909 the old Meeting House, almost opposite the little abandoned cemetery, had recently blown down and cattle were browsing in the burial place where only a few head stones of more recent times were readable.

All of the headstones that were decipherable were copied, as were all of those in the newer bur. place several miles farther on, known as the "Gerow" Cemetery, and placed in the custody of the New York and Long Island Historical Societies. The children of Nathan and Jane were:
John, b. 11 Aug 1727, md., 1st, Eliz. Tripp; 2nd, Rebecca Elwell. He died at Unadilla, N. Y., 17 Sep 1815. Rebecca was born 5 Jan 1735, died 15 Oct 1806.

JAMES, b. Oct. 18, 1728, md. Hannah Akin.
Nathan, b. Dec. 1, 1732, md. Content, daughter of Geo. and Avise Soule.
There is recorded the md. of Nathan, Jr., on Oct. 9, 1794 to widow, Susannah Shippen, from Long Island, but believe on good authority the name should be Stevens and not Shippen.
Lucretia, b. Nov. 24, 1733, md. Gideon Wickham.
Ann, b. June 24, 1736.
Sarah, b. July 10, 1739, md. Oct. 27, 1762, Nathan, b. Aug. 9, 1738, son of Geo. and Avise Soule.
Jane, b. June 26, 1741, md. Timothy Brownell.
Benjamin, b. Aug. 4, 1743, md. Eliz. Akin, daughter of Joshia and Judith (Huddlestone) Akin. She was born Oct. 19, 1746, died Sept. 9, 1836. He died in Chenango Co. in 1828. He abandoned his Orthodox Quakerism to join the American Army.
Mary, b. Aug. 1, 1745, md., 1st, Jabez Sherman; 2nd, (?) Sabin.
Phebe, born June 10, 1749, md. John Thomas.

Fifth Generation.
JAMES, son of Nathan, born as the first child of white parents on Quaker Hill; m. Aug. 15, 1747, Hannah, b. April 20, 1727, daughter of David and Sarah (Allen) Akin of Quaker Hill.

James Birdsall was a speculator in lands. He purchased a large tract in Haviland Hollow and leased to tenants. His will is filed in Carmel, N. Y., dated Jan. 11, 1814, and proven in 1817, in which he calls his wife "Betty." On April 22, 1755, he is enrolled at Oblong as a Quaker and exempt from military service. His old home in Haviland Hollow is still standing in a fairly good state of preservation.

James wills his daughter Phebe Sill, "the house where she now lives and the garden and the land where the orchard is east of the house, etc., up the hill and so notherly to John Towner's land, thence westerly down the hill between the house of David Birdsall and the house in which Phebe now lives."

He mentions all his other children, leaving residue to his son David, including "my desk, my great Bible, etc."
James is mentioned in "N. Y. in the Revolution" under "Land Bounty Rights," 3rd reg't, Dutchess County.

In the records of the "Friends'" Monthly Meeting is the following, which is still preserved in the 15th St. Meeting House, N. Y. City, "Whereas I have troubled my Friends in marrying out from amongst Friends I freely acknowledge I have done amiss and am sorry for it and desire Friends would pass it by & continue their care over me. I do hope by the Lord's assistance, I may be preserved from doing anything to trouble my Friends any more.
