Notes about John Carlton

John and Lydia (Ladd) Carlton were married in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, where their families lived, and where they made their first home and the first of their children were born. Birth records for Kimball and Hannah are found in the Haverhill records. About 1750, John apparently moved his family to Tolland, Tolland County, Connecticut where they remained as permanent residents. John became an early owner of land in the area. John was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, serving the company formed by Captain Solomon Willis of Tolland, which answered the call to arms at Lexington, Massachusetts, in April of 1775. He died intestate and his widow declined to administer his estate, asking the probate judge to appoint her son, John, that "trust." On 21 July 1786, the son, John, and his brother-in-law, Simon Chapman (husband of Lydia Carlton) posted a bond of five hundred pounds with the probate judge. An inventory of the estate was filed 31 January 1787, and shows John to have had a well stocked farm of 100 acres with a substantial house, well-furnished, and with a barn stables. His personal wardrobe was of good size and materials. Distribution of a portion of the estate was made to the widow, Lydia, on 17 April 1787, when she received 24 acres of land, the rooms at the south end of the house with furnishings; privilege to use the kitchen for washing and baking; and part of the cellar and barn. The rest was sold to Simon Chapman (son-in-law) as the highest bidder. Final distribution to heirs was made on 23 April 1790. Among those named were Kimball Carlton, 2 acres; John Carlton, 6 acres; "Dirius" Carlton, 6 acres; Lydia (Carlton) Chapman, 8 acres. The rest of the heirs of the deceased "having before received the whole of their shares." The birth records have never been found for the children (except Kimball and Hannah), certain facts regarding them come from the above mentioned court proceedings and family papers. Ten children are listed o n one DAR membership application. Massachusetts kept good records early; Connecticut did not officially require them until much later.Less
