Minthorn/Minturn Families of Orange County, NY Nathaniel Bailey of Rye, grandson of Judge Nicholas Bailey of Westchester Town, wrote his will in 1740, mentioning his daughter Abigail, widow of John Minthorn.[1] We don’t know anything about this John Minthorn but he could have been living in the Philipse Upper Patent and not have appeared on the tax lists since he was dead before 1740. Four of Abigail’s Bailey’s brothers moved up to that area. According to one author, Nathaniel took up lands in North Salem and may have moved to the Oblong in South East when it was opened for settlement in 1730.[2] The tax lists show a Nathaniel in the Southern Precinct in 1753 and in Fredericksburgh 1763-79; Nehemiah is shown in the Southern Precinct 1740-41; and Nathan in Fredericksburgh 1773.[3] Levi bought a farm just across the county border in Croton Falls, Somers, Westchester County, in 1769 when the land was first sold, but was probably living there earlier.[4] It is not unreasonable to believe that Abigail Bailey met John Minthorn somewhere around there. We know that Abigail and John Minthorn had three children—Nathaniel, John and Abigail Minthorn—who moved on to Orange County. Abigail Bailey’s sister, Jane Bailey Harker and her husband Joseph Harker, also moved to Orange County. When Joseph Harker wrote his will in 1756, his witnesses (all in Florida/Warwick) were John Minthorn, son of Abigail Bailey, Richard Edsall whose brother John married John Minthorn’s sister Abigail, and Richard Johnson, married to Sarah Poppino, sister of John Minthorn’s wife. Richard Edsall was Executor[5] Some evidence suggests that John may have descended from Richard Minthorne of Long Island.[6] But he might also have been a son or grandson of the first Philip Minthorne (who was associated with Judge Nicholas Bailey) who never got into the records. 1 Nathaniel Minthorn, 13 Jan 1735 in NY – ca 1822 in Warwick, m 15 Jan 1754 Hannah Grant 10 Apr 1740 - 1822. Nathaniel was a Lt. in the Orange County militia in 1762 during the French and Indian War[7] and a private during the Revolution. (His will Liber G, p 43, made 5 Jun 1818, probated 27 Sep 1822, named wife Hannah but not children.) His 83-acre farm adjoined that of his brother John Minthorn and lands of Samuel Baird and William Wisner.[8] He also had some 300 acres of mountain land around Bellvale of which he sold off pieces at various times. Possible children:[9] 11 Margaret Minthorn, 17 Oct 1754 -. [Note: if her mother were born in 1740 she would have been 14 when Margaret was born. Not likely.] 12 Abigail Minthorn, 15 Jun 1755 – 16 Jul 1818. 13 Sarah Minthorn, 12 Oct 1758 – 14 Mar 1850, m Jesse Elmer, 11 Jun 1764 – 12 Sep 1835, son of Dr. Nathaniel Elmer, a physician who was also a Captain in a Florida company of the militia. Nathaniel’s father, Rev. Jonathan Elmer, had been minister of the Florida Presbyterian Church from 1750 to 1757 when Nathaniel and his brother John were members and he married Abigail Minthorn to John Edsall. Children of Jesse and Sarah:[10] 131 Temperance Elmer b 1789, d 4 Jul 1878, unmarried. 132 Julia Elmer, b 1791, d 1864, m Ananias Ketchum of Greenwood Lake. 133 Clara C. Elmer, 17 Feb 1795 – 17 Jul 1857, unmarried. 134 Nathaniel Elmer, b 1799, d 1837, m Mary Bolton, 1810-1884. 135 Thompson Elmer, b 1803, d 1884, m Ruth German 136 Eliza Ann Elmer, b 1806, d 1875, m William Wilson 14 Nathaniel G. Minthorn, b ca 1765, m Anna --- who died in 1836. In the 1800 Census he was shown next to his father; probably living on his father’s farm. Around 1808 he obtained a lot in Goshen near the Presbyterian Church and built a house on it but was unable to pay the $3,500 price so in 1810 he leased it for four years on payment of interest.[11] He was witness to the will of John Gale of Goshen 3 May 1806. Sometime before 1819 he moved with his family to Havensport, Greenfield Township, Fairfield County, OH. He appears there in the 1820 Census with 2 boys 10-16 and 8 girls 16 and under. He wrote his will 1 Jan 1827; it was proved 26 Mar 1827.[12] He and his wife are buried in the Greenfield Cemetery. A few of his children: 141 John B. Minthorn, 20 Nov 1787 – 27 Mar 1805 in Warwick.[13] 142 Nathaniel Minthorn, b 1795 in Bellvale. He married, ca 1826 in Pennsylvania, Catherine – b ca 1804 in Pennsylvania, then was shown in Havensport, Ohio in the 1830 Census. In 1842 they sold their holdings and moved on to Boone Township, Cass County, Indiana. He erected the first sawmill north of town and then a hotel and boarding house, which he kept for six years. He died 31 Mar 1863 and is buried in the Cline Cemetery near Royal Centre in Boone Township. Children: 1421 Samuel J. Minthorn 1422 Alfred Minthorn 1423 Clarke Minthorn 1424 Phoebe Minthorn 143 Thomas Minthorn, moved north to Buckeye Lake, Walnut Township, Fairfield Co, OH. A book about Buckeye Lake said he moved there in 1820 and built a log cabin. At one time there was a Minthorn Inn on Buckeye Lake. 1431 William Minthorn 1432 Isaac Minthorn 1433 Henry Minthorn 144 Emeline Minturn, m 29 May 1819 in NY D’Jurco V. Knevels, MD of St John, West Indies.[14] 15 Christian Minthorn, b 8 Feb 1773 16 Magdalene Minthorn, 25 Jan 1775 – 1855, m 1796 John Mabie, 1763 - 1814[15] Born at Tappan, NY, John was the son of John Peter Mabie and Maria Bell. It was a Dutch family going back to Casparus Pieterszen Mabie, bap. 1660 in NYC.[16] John Mabie wrote his will 4 May 1814 giving his house and furniture to Magdalene; and all of his sheep old and young and their wool to be applied to the use of his wife and children until they arrive of age, then to be divided between his two sons; and all of his real and personal property to be divided between his two sons Grant and John. 161 Grant Mabie 162 John Mabie, 1810 – 1890, res. Warwick, married Elizabeth Bodine, 1819 – 1914. On 25 Aug 1825, John Wood was appointed guardian of John Mabie who was 14 at the time.[17] 17 Hannah Minthorn, 17 Nov 1777 – 15 Jan 1845, m 12 Dec 1795 Samuel Baird 8 Aug 1769 – 15 Nov 1816. He was the son of Francis Baird of Baird’s Tavern and Esther Eagles. Children[18] 171 Esther Baird, b 10 Mar 1798, m 14 Dec 1820 William Lawson. 172 Margaret Baird 28 Jan 1803 – 16 Nov 1874, bur Woodlawn Cem., Bronx, NY, m William Browning 7 May 1792 – 1863. 173 Thomas Eagles Baird, 18 Dec 1795 – 27 Apr 1852, m 29 Mar 1821 Mary Ann Tyler, b 12 Apr 1798. 174 Nathaniel Minthorn Baird, 2 Sep 1793 – 22 Jul 1802. 174 Francis Baird, 19 Dec 1794 175 Esther Baird, 19 Dec 1794 (twin) 176 Hannah Minthorn Baird, 28 Apr 1800 – 6 Sep 1855, m 23 Jan 1849 John R. Masters. 177 Nathaniel Minthorn Baird, 9 Dec 1805, 23 Apr 1830 Philadelphia, PA. 178 Jane Baird, 20 Apr 1808 – 5 Jul 1809. 18 Jane Minthorn, 18 Nov 1777 – 16 Mar 1840, m Ananias Wilson 30 Jan 1782 – 28 Jul 1843.[19] During around 1809 to 1824, preaching at the newly formed Bellvale Methodist Episcopal Church was done at Ananias Wilson’s house. He then removed to the Sugar Loaf church.[20] On 7 Nov 1825 (Liber V pp 444-6), Ananias and Jane mortgaged property to the widow of Samuel Benson Jr. described as “Beginning at the middle of the long house creek? at the NE corner of Nathaniel Minturns house, thence running along same 20 chains and 8 links to an oak standing in the line of Nathaniel Minthorn Senior, thence running S along the lands of William Minturn 53 chains and 39 links to lands owned formerly by the heirs of John Robertson deceased, thence S 13 chains and 63 links, thence W 2 chains and 66 links to the road leading to the mill, thence S (hard to read) 157 acres. Also a piece of mountain land containing 113 acres. Also two pieces of land in the 8th Ward (late 7th) of the city of NY conveyed by Trinity Church 1 May 1797 and shown on a map made by Stephen Ludlum, City Surveyor of lots #347 and 349 on Hammond Street and Varick Street, each 25 x 75 feet deep. 19 Amy Minthorn, 25 Sep 1783 2 Abigail Minthorn of Bellvale m 25 May 1756 in Florida John Edsall,[21]. John, bap 25 Nov 1733, son of Richard and Hillegonde DeKay, lived in Warwick next to his brother Samuel with whom he operated a grist mill.[22] Said to have three children. 21 Hannah Edsall, b 11 Apr 1776, Orange County; d 23 Dec 1801 Newton, Sussex County, NJ. She m William Coe, b 23 Mar 1764 Torringford, Litchfield County, CT, d 29 Dec 1809, Lunenburg County, VA.[23] 3 John Minthorn, ca 1738[24] - < 1790, m Christian Poppino.[25] In 1762, John Minthorn was one of a group of men from the Florida and Warwick Presbyterian Churches who signed a bond agreeing to pay Samuel Parkhurst as minister of their churches.[26] Parkhurst died in 1768: around 1766, John Minthorn named a son Samuel Parkhurst Minthorn.[27] John was commissioned 19 Feb 1778 as an officer in Col. John Hathorn’s Warwick regiment of the Orange County Militia and is often referred to as Captain Minthorn. After the war he was promoted to Major.[28] John was a member of the Committee of Safety and Observation of Goshen Precinct and served at one time as its chairman.[29] His farm was next to the farm of his brother, Nathaniel Minthorn. In 1785 he mortgaged to Samuel Johnson (son of Richard Johnson who was married to Christian Minthorn’s sister) a small piece of land adjoining lands of Daniel Burt and Francis Baird.[30] John is said to be buried in an unmarked grave. Christian Poppino Minthorn has a tombstone which was moved to the Warwick Cemetery in the 19th century and reads: “In memory of Christian, wife of John Minturn, who died May 23, 1828 in her 81st year.” That gives her a birth date of ca 1747. Christian Minthorn was head of family in the 1790 census. The family consisted of 2 males over 16, 2 under 16, and 3 females. Thus we should be looking for at least 4 boys and 2 girls. The 1800 Census for Orange County showed three Nathaniels, one of which had a woman over 46 in the family. This was probably Christian's eldest son and that woman was Christian The probable children of John Minthorn and Christian Poppino are: John Minthorn, b <1764 Joseph Minthorn, b 1764, Samuel Parkhurst Minthorn, b 1766, Nathaniel Minthorn, b 1768, William Minthorn, b 1771, Christian Minthorn, b 1774, James M. Minthorn, b 1780, Patty Minthorn. 31 John Minthorn, m Susanna Rogers. There is a John Minthorn in the 1790 – 1820 censuses who was older than the John who was the son of Joseph Minthorn. So he would appear to be a son of John and Christian, having one son and six or more daughters. In the 1810 census he is shown as 26-45 which would make him born by 1765. He was probably the first son of John and Christian, both because he was named for his father or grandfather and because his service in the militia during the Revolutionary War indicates that he could not have been born after about 1765.[31] In 1798, John Minthorn and Susanna, his wife, mortgaged 29½ acres which they had purchased from Garrett Post, adjacent to the land of John Sayre on the south side of the road from Major Poppino’s to Warwick.[32] In 1807 the children and heirs of Augustine Rogers sold his 172 acre farm in Warwick which they had inherited at his death. They included John and Susanna and Nancy Rogers Roe, widow of Joseph Roe who died the year before and was the son of Joseph Roe, b 1755, and Mary DeKay.[33] Once again we have to make guesses about their children. We’re calling their son x because we know he existed but we don’t know anything about him. We’ve assigned them a girl who got married with no record of her parentage, since we do have some record of daughters of John Minthorn’s siblings. 311 Lucy Minthorn, b say 1786, m 4 Jan 1806 Willliam Berliene (Berlin?).[34] In 1810, William Burline was in Minisink, age 26-45, with a female of the same age range and two girls under 10. 312 X Minthorn (male) b ca 1795-99.[35] This man does not appear in the censuses after 1820. He may have died before 1830, leaving a son, John, who also does not appear in the censuses but was probably living in another family. 3121 John H. Minthorn, b 27 Feb 1821, d 21 Nov 1851, Chemung County, NY, buried in 2nd Street Cemetery, Elmira, m Emaline (Emma) A. Elliott, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Elliott.[36] Children:[37] 31211 Ann A. Minthorn, b ca 1840 31212 Joseph D. Minthorn, b ca 1842 31213 Elizabeth Minthorn, b ca 1844. In 1860 she was a domestic in the household of Joseph Rodburn, merchant, in Horseheads, Chemung, NY. 31214 John Henry Minturn, b 22 Jan 1851, Chemung County, NY, d 23 Feb 1923, Horseheads, Chemung, m ca 1883 Martha Atwood, Oct 1855 - 13 Jun 1929, daughter of Thomas Atwood and Bessie Youmans.[38] Children: Mary Belle (m -- Clark) b Apr 1884, Bettie D. (m --Harrower) b Nov 1886, Helen L. Minturn b ca 1904.[39] In 1860, Henry was living with an aunt, Elizabeth Elliott and her husband Joseph Holcomb in Caton, Steuben County (near the Chemung border) suggesting that his mother, Emaline was dead by that time. 32. Joseph Minthorn 30 Apr 1764 – 30 Aug 1847[40]. m Sarah Ann Bradner, 20 Jun 1773 - 12 Jan 1840 (tombstone: 66/6/22)[41] Joseph lived in a small house on a 118 acre farm north of the Ackerman farm on the corner of Ackerman Road and the Florida-Warwick road.[42] An unusually harsh winter in 1835 caused animals to freeze in the barns and the family to huddle in one room to keep warm. Joseph’s health declined from the strains and he became bedridden. In 1839 he conveyed his property to his two sons in exchange for their agreement to take care of he and Sally for the rest of their lives. In addition, the sons each paid $1,500, which was divided among the three daughters.[43] Children:[44] 321 John Minturn b 23 Jun 1792, d 30 Sep 1861, m Sarah Elizabeth Keene, 2 Dec 1791 – 2 Apr 1871. The 1820 census shows him in Warwick with 2 boys and 1 girl; the 1850 census shows John and Sarah with one son, James, and a ten year old Armstrong girl. In 1855 John and Sarah Minthorn were living with Thomas and Sarah Taylor. Their grandson, Joseph F. Minturn was living with them in 1860. The 1865 will of Sarah Minthorn left most of her estate to her sister, Abby Adeline Poppino, wife of Lewis Poppino. In 1870 she was living with Adeline Poppino. 3211 James Minturn, b Bellvale 11 Aug 1822, d 11 Jun 1896, stonemason, [45] m 3 Jan 1849 Sarah Catherine Quackenbush, b 9 Oct 1825, dau of John and Elizabeth Clarke Quackenbush.[46] 32111 Joseph Franklin Minturn (Frank) b May 1851.

Bennett 33 Samuel Parkhurst Minthorn was born ca 1766 and died at 68, 16 December 1834 in Lansing, Tompkins County, NY.[77] He married Catherine Howell.[78] Catherine was also born about 1766 and died at 63 on 8 May 1829.[79] In the 1790 census, Minthorn is six persons away from David Howell. He is also fairly close to John Minthorn, his probable brother. According to one family record, his father was Moreck Howell, a sea captain from Orange County. I have not, however, found any other record of such a person. [80] Some members of the Minthorn family changed the spelling of their names to Minturn at various times in the 19th century. In general, Samuel and his children are listed as Minthorn in the censuses up through 1810 and Minturn after that. Some changed the name further to Minton. After the war, the area west of Orange County was opened to settlement, much of it as bounty land. Chemung County (which then included Tioga) was established in 1788 and Lt. Col. Henry Wisner from Warwick laid out the town of Newtown, which was renamed Elmira in 1828. A number of people from Warwick moved up there or speculated in land, and Samuel Minthorn was living in Tioga in 1800.[81] By 1810, he had moved north to Genoa in Cayuga County.[82] By 1820, the southern part of Genoa became Lansing in Tompkins County and it was here he died in 1834.[83] Samuel and Catherine had four boys: John, William, James, and Samuel, and five girls: Jane, Laura, Eliza, Maria and Helen. All of these, except Jane who died earlier, can be identified through a land transaction in 1868 in which Laura, for $1, received a parcel of land in Lansingville from the others, probably a property that had belonged to the first Samuel.[84] 331. John Minturn, b ca 1790, d > 1880, married Elizabeth Kelly (or Kelsey), b ca 1792, d >1860.[85] John first shows up in Elmira in 1810, age 16-26, with one male 10- 16, probably too old to be his child.[86] In 1820 and 1830 he is in Genoa, Cayuga County, where his father was listed in 1810.[87] In 1850 and 1860 he is in Ithaca, Tompkins County, occupation mason. In 1870 he is living with his son Frank in Ithaca and in 1880, still in Ithaca, he is living with his daughter Ann Cameron. At this time he is shown to be 94, which would give him a birth date of 1786, however most of the other census entries suggest a birth date of 1789 or early 1790.[88] Probable children: 3311. Henry E. Minton, b ca 1811, d ca 1855, mason in Ithaca, m Amelia, b ca 1811. [89] 33111. William E. Minton, b ca 1837. He was in the family of Henry Minturn in 1850 but a deed in 1855 said Eliza was the only child of Henry, so he might be a son of one of Henry’s brothers or he might have died before 1855.[90] In 1860, William Minturn, b ca 1839, mason, was with Elizabeth, 17, in Ithaca.

William Weisner (Wisner) Minthorn/Minturn,[105] b 1 Sep 1791 in Warwick, Orange County, d 27 Mar 1872 in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. He married 16 Jun 1816 Tirzah Tullar (or Tirzah Fellows, daughter of Willis Fellows and Sarah Hart), b 18 Jul 1799 in Shelburne, Franklin, MA.[106] The Wisner family was very prominent in Warwick and had various associations with the Minthorns and their relatives. This boy may have been named for William Wisner who died in 1803, son of Captain John Wisner, Sr. and brother of Lt. Col. Henry Wisner who, as mentioned in a prior footnote, laid out and owned much of Elmira.[107] Sometime before 1820, William, perhaps with his brother James and sister Maria, moved down to Point Pleasant, Mason County, VA. This was the site of the famous Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774 during Lord Dunmore’s War, which preceded the Revolution. It is just across the Ohio River from Gallipolis which was originally created to attract refugees from the French Revolution and the Minturns lived in both places. In the early 1800s both communities were small, with good farmlands. The Minturns stayed in the area for a long time and today there is still in Point Pleasant a Masonic lodge called Minturn #19 of which William W. Minturn was first master in 1858. William signed a will on 14 Jan 1868, probated 23 Apr 1872, and was buried in Mar 1872 in Pioneer Cemetery, Point Pleasant.[108] Children of William W. Minturn and Tirzah Tullar/Fellows:[109] 3321 Oliver H. P. Minturn, b ca 1817. In 1870 he was 53, a carpenter, living in St. Joseph, MO with wife Sarah E., 37 and Frank, 15, born in VA. In 1880 Oliver, 63, carpenter, and Sarah, 49, were in Brazos, TX. He was listed in the Waco, TX Directory, 1886-1890. Not found in records before 1870.

Gallipolis, Gallia Co, OH, d 14 May 1904 in Amazonia, Andrew Co, MO. "Lorren Tuller Minturn and family moved to St.
Joseph in 1857 by water, down the Ohio, up the Mississippi to St. Louis and on to St.
Joseph on the Missouri. They stayed from 1857 to 1869 then moved to Amazonia
where he owned and operated a flour mill. He also organized and built a lovely little stone
Episcopal Church (St.
Matthews) of which he was permanent Deacon until his death."
"Rev. Lorren T. Minturn, rector of the Episcopal Church at
Amazonia, was born Mason County, West Virginia,
October 13, 1819. He is the son of William W.
and Tirzah (Fellows) Minturn. The father was born in
Dutchess County, NY., and the mother was a native of Connecticut.
In May, 1816, they were married at Point Pleasant,
West Virginia., where they located and died, the

The Peck Family Two of John and Christian’s children married Pecks—William to Lydia Peck and Christian to David Peck--so it seems worthwhile to give some special attention to this family.[145] No one has found clear documented proof of their background but there is enough suggestive material to give us a pretty good guess that Lydia and David were the children of David and Mary Woolsey Peck, descending from William Peck, one of the founders of the Colony of New Haven.[146] William Peck emigrated from England to Boston 26 Jun 1637, probably with the Rev. John Davenport. They soon moved down to the Connecticut shore to create the New Haven Colony. William was one of the original proprietors, a merchant, trustee of the Colo |
