Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Joseph Edmunds was born 17 Aug 1685, Providence, Providence Co., RI; died Abt Jun 1767.

    Notes:

    The surname is sometimes spelled Edmands or Edmonds.

    Joseph Edmunds of Warwick is mentioned as a son-in-law in the 7 Dec 1738 will of Thomas Nichols of East Greenwich. The name of Joseph's wife is not mentioned, but the East Greenwich records show the birth of Thomas to Joseph & Hannah; Thomas is also mentioned as a grandson in the will of Thomas Nichols.

    The will of Joseph Edmunds of Warwick is dated 9 June 1765 and proved 15 June 1767. It mentions wife Elizabeth -- probably not a first wife, based on the wording of the will -- and sons Thomas, Andrew, and William.

    I have estimated the birth years of most of the children.

    The following notes are from a family tree by Kristi Anne McKenzie at Rootsweb's Worldconnect; much of the information already has been substantiated by my own research, but some remains to be confirmed:

    "His will was proved 15 Jun 1767, ex. son Andrew. To son Thomas all wearing apparel. To wife Elizabeth (Elizabeth Vaughan who he married 7 Jun 1759) negro named Jeremiah, a good cow, a riding beast, two feather beds, all silver spoons she brought me, and all other things she brought, with use of west end of house and chamber above with bed room adjoining, privlege in cellar and kitchen and half of profits of homestead farm, all to her while widow. If wife refuses this provision in lieu of her dower, then executor to have all. To son Andrew all my homestead farm. To son William, land in Coventry, wife privilege of getting firewood on premises. To son Andrew, all remaining part of estate both real and personal. Inventory,

    Joseph married Hannah Nichols Abt 1708. Hannah (daughter of Thomas Nichols and Mercy Reynolds) was born 9 Mar 1684/85, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died Bef Jun 1759. [Group Sheet]

    This information on John Tibbits and his son George came from the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 12, Early RI Settlers in Rensselaer County, NY. George was the eldest of 10 children. When he was five his father and family moved to Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA, and in 1780 they moved to the village of Lansingburgh, NY. In 1784 he began his business career, and in 1787 he took his brother, Benjamin, in with him as a partner in G&B Tibbits.

In 1800 he purchased a large amount of land in the Hoosick Patent; was the mayor of Troy from 1830-1836; was a member of the NY State Assembly in 1800 and 1820, and a State Senator from 1815-1818.

    Notes:

    From a descendant, Susana Aravena: "We know George was born in USA. He stated, in a church record, that he was native of Providence. George was in Argentina in 1804. I know he was Protestant. The record I obtained was from the Inquisition. He was forced or not, I do not know, to convert to Catholicism. The next year he had his first son, my grandmother's grandfather's brother. As well, we know that when my grandmother was around 10 years old a relative from the line Arnold-Brown visited my family in Argentina."
