Descendants of John SCRIBNER, Sr., Son of John and Mary SCRIVEN


6. ELIZABETH2 SCRIBNER (JOHN1, JOHNA SCRIVEN, THOMASB, EDWARDC, THOMASD, THOMASE, ROBERTF, JOHNG, JOHNH, REGINALDI, RICHARDJ, DAVID (EDWARD)K) was born Abt. 1698 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH93, and died Bef. 175894. She married CLEMENT MOODY Abt. 1718 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH95, son of CLEMENT MOODY and SARAH CLARK. He was born Abt. 1693 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH95, and died Aft. 175895.

Notes for ELIZABETH SCRIBNER:
After Elizabeth's death, Clement married Mrs. Margaret Smith in Kingston 24 July 1758 (Anderson, "Moody Sons and Grandsons" [op. cit.], 224).
CLEMENT'S PARENTS: Clement Moody, Sr. was born before 1672 in Wenham, Essex County, Massachusetts (Anderson, 223), and died 21 April 1729 in Exeter (Metcalf, PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 2 [op. cit.], 362). Sarah (Clark) Moody was born 14 December 1668 in Wenham, and died in Exeter after 1710, sometime following the birth of their seventh child, David, who was born about 1710 (Marlene A. Hickley [comp.], DESCENDANTS OF JOHN CLARKE OF WENHAM, MASSACHUSETTS AND EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE [Bath, ME: The author, 1968], 2, 3). Clement and Sarah were married before 1693 in Exeter (Anderson, 223). Following Sarah's death, Clement re-married, taking for his second wife a lady named Alice, who outlived him.

  v.   SCRIBNER MOODY, b. Abt. 1738, Exeter, Rockingham, NH106; d. Bef. 21 February 1812, Pittston, Kennebec, ME107; m. SARAH SMITH, Bef. 09 December 1762, Weare, Hillsborough, NH107; b. Bef. 28 June 1744, Kingston, Rockingham, NH107; d. Aft. 1806, Pittston, Kennebec, ME107.
  Notes for SCRIBNER MOODY:
There are two equally compelling arguments for the parentage and dates for Scribner's wife, Sarah. The first comes from Sandra Ellis' article, "Scribner Moody," in MAINE FAMILIES IN 1790, Volume 4 [op. cit.] and The New Hampshire Genealogical Record [NHGR] Volumes 3 and 5 [op. cit.]. According to Ellis, Sarah's parents were William and Sarah (Bean) Smith, and that Scribner and Sarah were married before 9 December 1762 (page 188). Volume 3 of NHGR informs us that Sarah's parents were married at Kingston, New Hampshire 8 February 1738/39 (page 40). Volume 5 of NHGR tells that she was baptized at Kingston 28 June 1744 (page 111).
The second argument comes from Bernie MacBean's THE CLAN MACBEAN IN NORTH AMERICA, Volume 3 (where information provided by Patricia Caswell of Olathe, Colorado, is quoted on page 550), and Kathleen Hosier's book, KINGSTON NEW HAMPSHIRE EARLY FAMILIES, PATRIOTS & SOLDIERS [op. cit.], pages 8-10. Hosier's book refers often to official records of Kingston and New Hampshire. According to both books, Sarah's parents were Joseph and Hannah (Davis) Bean, Sarah was born 19 April 1740, and married first William Smith (although Hosier's book shows only his last name). Then,according to Caswell's information, Sarah married Scribner 12 September 1762.
In this present document, we are favoring the first argument.


7. MARY2 SCRIBNER (JOHN1, JOHNA SCRIVEN, THOMASB, EDWARDC, THOMASD, THOMASE, ROBERTF, JOHNG, JOHNH, REGINALDI, RICHARDJ, DAVID (EDWARD)K) was born Abt. 1703 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH108, and died 16 October 1756 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH109. She married THOMAS GORDON Abt. 1730 in Chester, Rockingham, NH110, son of THOMAS GORDON and ELIZABETH HARRIMAN. He was born 24 August 1701 in Haverhill, Essex, MA111, and died 27 August 1772 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH112.

Notes for MARY SCRIBNER:
Thomas married (2nd) Deliverance Eastman, who died 12 July 1791 (KINGSTON EARLY FAMILIES [op. cit.], 95).
THOMAS' PARENTS: We have no dates for Thomas, Sr. Elizabeth (Harriman) Gordon was born in Haverhill 20 November 1675. They were married 22 November 1699 in Haverhill (HAVERHILL VRs, 2 [op. cit.], 138, 172).

8. SUSANNAH2 SCRIBNER (JOHN1, JOHNA SCRIVEN, THOMASB, EDWARDC, THOMASD, THOMASE, ROBERTF, JOHNG, JOHNH, REGINALDI, RICHARDJ, DAVID (EDWARD)K) was born Abt. 1707 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH119, and died Aft. 1763 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH120. She married (1) JOHN MUDGETT 1725 in Gilmanton, Belknap, NH121, son of THOMAS MUDGETT and ANN FRENCH. He was born Bef. 16 March 1700/01 in Salisbury, Essex, MA122,123, and died Bef. 28 May 1746 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH123. She married (2) NICHOLAS SMITH Abt. 1745, son of NICHOLAS SMITH and MARY GORDON. He was born Abt. 1705 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH124, and died 17 March 1758 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH125. She married (3) ??? THURSTON Abt. 1763 in Brentwood, Rockingham, NH.

Notes for SUSANNAH SCRIBNER:
John served in the Revolutionary War, and was a proprietor (an original owner of town land) of Gilmanton, Belknap, NH (THOMAS MUDGETT [op. cit.],53).
JOHN'S PARENTS: We have no birthdate for Thomas. He died about 1700 in Salisbury. Ann (French) Mudgett was born 10 March 1658/59 in Salisbury. They were married about 1695 in Salisbury (SALISBURY VRs [op. cit.], 104; Torrey, NEW ENGLAND MARRIAGES BEFORE 1700 [op. cit.], 471).

Nicholas was a farmer. Susannah was his second wife, since he had been married first to Judith Gilman (Noyes, GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE [op. cit.], 615). We learn the names of their children from Nicholas' will.
NICHOLAS' PARENTS: Nicholas, Sr. was born 3 September 1661 in Exeter, and died there in June of 1716. Mary (Gordon) Smith was born in Exeter 22 May 1668, and died there in 1739. They were married in 1695 (Noyes, 273).

After Nicholas died, Susannah married a man named Thurston about 1763. We learn this from the fact that, in the account of Nicholas' will, when the estate was settled and allowed on 26 October 1763, Susannah is referred to as "Susanna Thurston, formerly widow of the deceased, executrix" (Hammond, PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 4 [op. cit.], 503).
