  2. 3.  Lydia Boomer Descendancy chart to this point (1.Hannah1) was born 3 Dec 1690; died Abt. Oct 1761, Freetown, MA.

    Notes:

    The will of Lydia Boomer of Freetown, MA, is dated 27 Dec 1759, proved 3 Nov 1761. It mentions siblings Caleb and Joshua Boomer, and Deborah Mason; cousins Joseph Jenks and Boomer Elsbree; kinsmen Benjamin Jenks; Nathaniel, Matthew, Isaac, and John Luther; Thomas, John, and William Elsbree; Henry, Joshua, and Stephen Salberry; kinswomen Abiah Monro; Ruth Sprage; Hannah and Susannah Salberry; Mary and Eleanor Luther; Mary, Hannah, Lydia, Martha, and Rebecca Boomer; Mary Elsbree; and Deborah Mason. Cousin Caleb Boomer was appointed executor.


  3. 4.  Hannah Boomer Descendancy chart to this point (1.Hannah1) was born 16 Nov 1692.

    Hannah — John Jenckes. [Group Sheet]


  4. 5.  Mercy BOOMER Descendancy chart to this point (1.Hannah1) was born 16 Mar 1693/94, Freetown, Bristol Co., MA; died Between 1 Apr 1755 - 2 Nov 1756, MA.

    Notes:

    Mercy is a 5th-generation Mayflower descendant, through her mother Hannah (Church) Boomer.

    I am not sure if this birth date for Mercy is correct -- needs more research (source: Rootsweb's Worldconnect). "The Luther Genealogy" p. 188 says she was born 16 Nov 1694.

    Mercy is mentioned as Mary (or Marcy?) Luther in the will of her brother, Joshua Boomer. He also mentions his sister Mary Elsbree, so it is clear these are two sisters.

    Mercy was executor of her husband's will as of 1 Apr 1755. It appears that she died before 2 Nov 1756, as a document of that date appoints Elisha Mason of Swansea to be executor of Nathaniel's will, as his widow/executor Mercy Luther has since died. A Jan 1759 document refers to a legacy she and her husband had left for the care of their daughter Hannah, who is "non compos."

    Mercy married Nathaniel LUTHER, Sr. 4 Jan 1715/16, Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. Nathaniel (son of John LUTHER and Hopestill BUTTERWORTH) was born 17 Apr 1692, Swansea, MA; died Abt Jan 1755. [Group Sheet]

  9. 10.  Mary BOOMER Descendancy chart to this point (1.Hannah1) was born Abt 1705, Bristol Co., MA.

    Notes:

    Mary is mentioned in the will of her sister Lydia as sister Elsbury; in her brother Joshua's will dated 1 Feb 1772 he mentions his [living] sister Mary Elsbury. Mary is also mentioned by name in her father's will.

    Some genealogies have Mary & Mercy as the same individual, marrying first to Nathaniel Luther and second to Ephraim Elsbree/Elsbury. However, Joshua Boomer's will mentions four sisters, including deceased sister Marcy Luther and the another sister Mary Elsbree.

    Mary married Ephraim ELSBREE, Sr. 1726. Ephraim was born Abt 1700; died Between Dec 1760 and Nov 1761, Freetown, MA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Lydia Boomer, ages 61 & 54, are living at Tiverton, Newport Co., RI. With them are William H. Boomer, 17, and Adoniram Boomer, 25. William (Sr.) is a carpenter.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, William & Lydia, ages 71 & 67, are living at Fall River, MA, at that time Newport Co., RI. No profession is given for William. Their birthplaces are given as Fall River and Tiverton.


    William — Lydia Humphrey. Lydia (daughter of William Humphrey, Sr. and Lydia Munroe) was born 10 Oct 1794, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 19 Jan 1881. [Group Sheet]

    William — Martha Davis. [Group Sheet]


  12. 56.  Boomer ELSBREE Descendancy chart to this point (35.Ephraim3, 10.Mary2, 1.Hannah1) was born 1 Jan 1754, Freetown, Bristol Co., MA; died 5 May 1830.

    Notes:

    Boomer Elsbree is listed as "cousin" in the 1759 will of Lydia Boomer of Freetown, MA. She was his grand-aunt.

    Boomer Elsbree, listed as Bomer Elesbery, served as a Revolutionary War soldier. He was a Corporal in Captain Joseph Durfee's company at Freetown. He was also a Colonel in Pope's regiment. He was engaged 7 Dec 1776 and discharged 17 Dec 1776, during which time he served 10 days when the company marched to RI on an alarm. I don't the other dates during which he may have served -- needs more research.

    In the 1790 Federal Census, Boomer Elsberry is listed as a resident of Freetown, MA. His household consists of: 2 FWM 16+, 4 FWM <16, and 4 FWF. Possibly the two FWMs 16 and over are Boomer himself and his son Joshua. It appears that there are 4 more sons and three daughters, plus his wife, most likely.

    In the 1800 Federal Census at Freetown, Bristol Co., MA, Boomer Elsbree and household are listed as follows: 3 males <10, 1 male 10<16, 3 males 16<26, 1 male >45, 1 female 10<16, and 1 female >45; no people of color are indicated. If all these individuals are the immediate family, we can assume that in 1800 Boomer had at least 7 sons and 1 daughter living at home. This needs more research.

    Boomer is listed next to Joseph Brightman 3rd.

    Ephraim Elsbree is also listed in Freetown. This may be Boomer's father, or possibly another relative.

    In 1810, Boomer Elsbra and family are in Somerset, MA. There are 9 individuals in the household, including only one daughter who must be Mercy..

    In 1820 Boomer and family are in Troy, Bristol Co., MA (Fall River). In addition to Boomer and Hannah, there are 3 young males in the household -- probably Edumund, Aaron, and Thomas. I don't see evidence of Rebecca.

    I am not sure about whether the last two children really belong here, but they are included in "The Luther Genealogy" p. 280. They don't appear to be in the censuses with the family in 1810 or 1820.

    According to family notes, "Boomer was given half the farm from the shore to Elsbree St. Boomer sold it to a Brownell for $1200. Boomer and Brownell went to Tolland, Conn. to settle . . . "

    Boomer married Hannah LUTHER 20 Dec 1770, Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. Hannah (daughter of Nathaniel LUTHER, Jr. and Eleanor BOOMER) was born 18 Jul 1757, Swansea, MA; died 5 May 1830. [Group Sheet]
