I bought a slide (small photo) off eBay. It is taken on the road of William S Hart's property where you can see the buffalo. You cannot see the buffalo in this picture. This was taken in 1970 and in the background you can see my grandma's house with her camper in front of her house on the hill. Brings back so many wonderful memories. I cannot count how many times I stood in that same spot to look at my grandma's house. Since my grandma was one of the original Walker.children and William S Hart was considered a friend to the Walkers I believe this photo is appropriate to be on here.

Hello Everyone, this is Emily, though I promised to post more, these past few months have been great while dreadful. I call it the family curse of health issues, so I have been going with it. I will be posting today photos from two CD’s of family memories that my cousin Lisa gave me to use. If you notice who is in these photos please let me know so I can change the description of the post to the correct individuals! I honor my ancestors/relatives, I just don’t know all who is in them.

Hello everyone, welcome back to another history session. Today we are starting off the earliest Starbucks in America and beginning with a man named "Edward Starbuck" (1604-1691). He was both in either Derbyshire or Attenborough, England, and arrived in the New World about 1635 in what is now called Dover, New Hampshire. He was highly looked upon in Dover.
In 1647 and 1650, he was granted the right to erect sawmills and in 1652 he was granted the right to use certain lands. In 1643, he was chosen as the first Representative from Dover to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and served again in 1647. However, he had problems in Dover, his religious views were not acceptable to his fellow townsmen considering he was not a Quaker unlike his descendants. Rather, he had evidently come under the influence of the Anabaptists who were disturbing the colony. In 1648, he was charged with "denying to join with the church in the ordinance of baptism."
This was the time he settled on Nantucket after this ordinance from what I have read, because his religious views stayed in Dover. But after the fact he just ended up removing himself and his family from Dover and moved to Nantucket in 1660. While he was not an original purchaser, Edward and his son Nathaniel were a part of the first group of associates chosen by the purchasers in 1659. He became highly esteemed on the island and respected by the Indians. His name even appears on the earliest Indian deed in 1660. He served as a selectman in 1673 and was nominated to the position of Captain though he was not chosen. During the thirty years of his life spent on Nantucket, he was instrumental in the development of that land.
He then lived sixty-five years and died on February 4th, 1690. His wife's death is unknown but is believed to have been prior to the move to Nantucket as there is no record. For his children however, some passed on early, but he had six children by the names of,
1. Nathaniel (1635 - 1662) Married Mary Coffin
2. Sarah: Birth and Death unknown, Married William Story 1668; Josep Austin 1684 who then married Humphrey Varney as second wife.
3. Dorcas: Birth unknown, death 1696, married William Gayer
4. Abigail: Birth and death unknown, married Peter Coffin, who became a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire.
5. Esther: Birth and death unknown; married Humphrey Varney as first wife.
6. Jethro: Birthday 1651, death 1663, was ran over by a cart.
Though this is a small post, I will be regarding his children in the next posts that I will do. Each story is just as long; hence I might as well separate them all. I will also be posting photos I recently acquired from my cousin Lisa so stay tuned for more. Thank you for those that have waited and hope to post more History soon!
