The Ancestry of Alfred Henry Sturtevant III


Compiled by A.H. Sturtevant (II)

Each individual in this pedigree is given a number. If the number of any individual is represented as n, then his father's number is 2n, and his mother's is 2n+1. This is illustrated below:

1. Alfred Henry Sturtevant 2. Alfred Henry Sturtevant 4. Alfred Henry Sturtevant
5. Harriet Evelyn Morse
3. Phoebe Curtis Reed 6. Charlton Albanis Reed
7. Emilie Harding Curtis

Some of the authorities used are cited under a few of the separate entries. Much of the information has come from the published genealogies of the Munson, Warren, Tuttle, Tanner, Newcomb, Richards, Leland, and Morse families. Such local works as Davis' "Plymouth Landmarks", and the similar accounts of Watertown (Bond), Stratford (Orcutt), etc., have also been useful.

In several cases I have used MS pedigrees found in old family records. These in general do not cite authorities nor give the name of the compiler.

A.H.S. Jan. 1955


1. Alfred Henry Sturtevant.  Third of a family of three:

        For an account of his life see:
        Julian M. Sturtevant - an Autobiography, 1896, Fleming H. Revell Co., New York, Chicago, and Toronto. 349 pp.
                This book is also my authority for part of his ancestry.  It has, however one error: he had one extra generation in the Bradford line (the second American William, (#524), was the father - not the grandfather - of Major John, (#262)).  It also seems likely that his great grandmother, (#69), was named Hannah Newcomb, not Esther.

9. Hannah Richards Fayerweather.  The youngest of seven children, probably all born at New Canaan, Conn.
        (1) Julia Hope.  Born 1804.  married Timothy Chamberlain.
        (2) Elizabeth Maria.  Born 1806.  Married Julian Monson Sturtevant.

17. Lucy Tanner.  Born 1782, at Warren, Conn.  Died Nov, 5, 1833, at Tallmadge, O.

18. Richard Fayerweather.
        I (#2) have his Family Bible, which contains this entry:  "Richard Fayerweather, son of Thomas and Mary Fayerweather, born Dec. 21st 1778 was married 1803 to Hannah Richards who was born Aug. 30th, 1775.
        My father once told me that his sister Lucy had been told in New Canaan that her grandfather (this Richard Fayerweather) was an illegitimate child.  I have found no record of his parents other than the above entry, but local records in New Canaan and Norwalk have not been thoroughly searched.  The name Fayerweather was present at about this time in Norwalk families.  There was a Thomas Fayerweather (or Fairweather) at Boston in 1634, who had sons and grandsons.  Perhaps this line?
        There is a family tradition - unsupported so far as I have found - that the name Fayerweather was originally Beautemps, and that the first emigrant from France went originally to Martinique.

19. Hannah Richards.  Born Aug, 30, 1795, presumably at Norwalk or New Canaan, Conn.

25. __ Hart.

26. John Higgins.  Born 1791, died 1851.  Lived at Flemington, N.J., where he was known as "Old Yaller".

27. Rebecca Schenk.  There were Schenks in Hunterdon Co., N.J., who traced to Roeliff (=Ralph) Schenck, who came from Holland in 1650 and settled on Long Island.  Surely this same family.

29. Meribah Curtis.  B: about 1795.  Died July 12, 1868.  She (and her son William) lived with her brother Ebeni(^)zer and his wife Betsey.  He was of Quaker ancestry, the family having been for several generations at Point Pleasant, N.J.  Her son (#14) was illegitimate.  Brother:  Cook Curtis.

30. Seth Doolittle.  Died Oct. 1853, aged 52.  He, with his brothers Hart and Cornwell, manufactured carriages at Pleasant Valley, Conn.

35. Hulda Monson.  The surname was so spelled by her grandson, (#8).  It seems to have been spelled Munson by her ancestors, and is so spelled here, beginning with entry #70.

42. Ebenizer Scales.  Born Nov. 6, 1766, at Nottingham, N.H.  Died Feb. 18, 1855.  Married Anna Matties Beg. 17, 1789.  He was ordained in 1804 as a minister in the Free Will Baptist church.  I have seen his gravestone and that of his wife in the Wilton (Me.) Cemetery.

43. Anna Matties.  Died Nov. 24, 1829, at Wilton, ME.  The name is sometimes spelled Matthes.

44. Paul Bickford.  Married Elizabeth Kendall May 31, 1781.  Possibly descended from John Bickford, who was at Durham, N.H., as early as 1660, and left many descendants.

45. Elizabeth Kendall.  Born Aug. 17, 1757, at Wiscasset, ME.

46. Nicholas Gaubert.  Born in France - family tradition says at Marseilles.  He was on a sailing vessel on the coast of Maine during the Revolution.  He want ashore and saw a girl who took his eye.  He left his ship and persuaded the girl to marry him.  So runs the family tradition.  There is a published record of "intention of marriage" at Topsham - "Nicholas Gaubert and and Diana Ried, July 7, 1779"  (Drummond, J.H. "The Rogers family of Georgetown" - which is also the authority for the ancestry of (#47).)

47. Diana Reid.  Born July 2, 1760, at Topsham, Me.  Died Feb. 10, 1818.

48. Asa Reed.  Was a captain in the Revolutionary army.  He was taken prisoner and held on the prison-ship "Jersey".

66. Nathaniel Swift.  Born Mar. 14, 1707/8.  Married Abiah Tupper Sept. 14, 1730.

68. William Tanner.  Born about 1730 in Rhode Island.

69. Hannah Newcomb.  Born about 1728.  Died Aug. 6, 1806.  Married William Turner Mar. 23, 1749, in Kent, Conn.  So the record in the published Newcomb genealogy.  Grandfather (#8) gives her first name as Esther; and the above record has her husband's surname wrong.  The probability is that, in spite of these discrepancies, this is the woman we are descended from.  The pedigree given on later pages is on this assumption.

70. Timothy Munson.  Born July 1, 1734.  Died Oct. 29, 1826.  Lived at New Haven and Milford, Conn., and Pownal, Vt.  He served in the Revolution in 1775 and in 1778.  He was a tailor, a tavern-keeper, and a farmer.

116. David Curtis.  Died 1774 or earlier

120. Daniel Doolittle.  Lived at North Haven, Conn.  Surely descended from Abraham Doolittle, who was in New Haven in 1642, and left many descendants.

138. Benjamin Newcomb.  Born about 1700, at Edgartown, Mass.  Moved to Kent, Conn. about 1740.  Died at Canning, New Brunswick, after 1776.  Apparently he was a Tory, and went to New Brunswick for that reason.

139. Hannah __.

140. John Munson.  Born July 7, 1693, at New Haven, Conn., where he died in 1745 or 1746.  Married Esther Clark Jan. 28, 1711/2.

        He was the first of the name in America.  So far as known all of his descendants have used this spelling; and also so far as known all American Sturtevants are descended from him.  Evidently Sturtivant, Sturdevant, and Sturdivant are the same name - but they seem to come from other immigrants.  The name is English, but its meaning can only be guessed at.  The earliest reference I have found to it is in York - with the spelling Stirtavaunt, (The reference is Weekly. 1917..  "Surnames".  Date 1338 or earlier.), suggesting a Norman-French origin for the last two syllables.
        The name is rare or perhaps already extinct in England now.
