• XXI. William Wentworth, who it is believed, was identical with the New England emigrant, afterwards known as Elder Wentworth. As has been seen, he was baptized at Alford on the 15th of March, 1615-16, and, assuming the identity, it is a curious fact that he died on the eighty-first anniversary of his baptism, viz: the 15th March, 1696-7.
• The circumstantial evidence touching the iedentity mentioned may be summed up as follows: ....
• http://www.archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01inwent#page/n252/mo...
• If there were two wives and the name of one was not Elizabeth, the first must have died prior to 18 November, 1666-7. There is a family tradition that when he was quite advanced in years he married a second wife, who was very young even to be married, and that he had children by both wives.
• The order of the birth of the prior children would seem to be as follows: Samuel, John, Gershom, Ezekiel, Paul, Sylvanus, and Timothy. We know he had a child in 1640; and there is every probability that Ephraim and Benjamin were born after 1670, making a difference of over thirty years in the births of children, and creating a probability that there were two wives. And there may have been other children. Indeed under the head of the "Daughters of Elder William," the claims of Sarah, wife of Benjamin Barnard, to be his daughter, upon the ground that her children, left fatherless, call Paul Wentworth their uncle, are canvassed.
  • http://www.archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01inwent#page/n282/mo...
  • Ezekiel (5. IV.) son of Elder William Wentworth, must of been among the eldest of the famly.* If he was but twenty-one years of age in 1672, when his name appears on the tax list in the defective records of Dover, N. H., he must have been born as early as 1651.
  • http://www.archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01inwent#page/n286/mo...
  • The first mention of his wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was in 1676, and we thus learn that she survived him. Besides this, we have only the will of Ezekiel Knight, and a quitclaim of 1715, regarding her.
  • http://www.archive.org/stream/wentworthgenealo01inwent#page/n290/mo...
  • There was one other and only one other, Elizabeth Wentworth, of Cochecho, at this time, viz: Elizabeth, wife of Elder William Wentworth. Which Elizabeth was the daughter of Ezekiel Knight, there has yet been found, after the most thorough search, not the slightest evidence.
  • There is much uncertainty as to the number and ages of the children of Ezekiel. The following is the best list which can now be furnished:
    • 30. I. Thomas. [153]
    • 31. II. John. [154]
    • 32. III. Paul. [159]
    • 33. IV. Benjamin. [159, after Paul]
    • 34. V. Gershom. [163]
    • '35. VI. Tamson, married, 1st, James Chesley; 2d, John Hayes. [166]
    • 36. VII. Elizabeth, married Nathaniel Brown. [178]

    • ' Tamson3 (35. VI.) daughter of Ezekiel2 and Elizabeth Wentworth, is not heard of prior to being the wife (married by Rev. John Pike, 29 December, 1704) of James Chesley, son of Philip Chesley, and grandson of Philip Chesley* James was killed by the Indians, 15 September, 1707.t She married, 2d, John Hayes, a Deacon of the First Church in Dover, He was son of John Hayes, the emigrant, who came from Scotland about 1680, settled at Dover (N. H.) Corner; and married Mary Horne. His family is given in the N. E. Hist, and Geneal. Register, October, 1852. Deacon John Hayes lived in Dover, at what is known as "Tole-End," a farming locality, a few miles up the Cochecho River from the falls, on its west side. Tamson3 died before her second husband. He married, 2d, Mary (Roberts), widow of Samuel Wingate. He died 3 July, 1759, and his tombstone is standing in Pine Hill burial ground.
• * Chesley.— Philip1 Chesley, emigrant, was of Dover Neck early, and in 1644 in Oyster River, part of the town, having, in later days, a garrison house on the north shore of Great Bay. He had first wife, Elizabeth, (living in 1661:) 2d, Joanna, living in 1685. He was "Freeman" in 1665. He conveyed the bulk of his property, by deed, 28 April, 1661, to his -wife and children. He had children:
  • II. Philip,2 born 1644, married Sarah ___ , and had :
    • 1. Capt. Samuel,3 whose wife was Elizabeth; he was killed by the Indians 15 September, 1707, and his widow married Amos Pickham.
    • 2. Philip3
    • 3. Ebenezer.3
    • ' 4. James,3 who married Tamson3 (35) Wentworth, as above.
• t Dr. Belknap says, "A party of French Mohawks painted red, attacked, with a hideous yell, a company who were in the woods, some hewing timber, and others driving a team, under the direction of Capt. Chesley, who was just returned the second time, from Port Royal. At the first fire, they killed seven and mortally wounded another. Chesley with the few who were left fired on the enemy with great vigor, and for some time checked their ardor; but being overpowered he at length fell. He was much lamented, being a brave officer. Three of the scalps taken at this time were soon after recovered at Berwick, Me."-
