525	There is little known about the early life of Obadiah Winters. He first appears in records in 1750, when he purchased land in Branford, Connecticut from Hannah Scarrett, who is referred to as his mother-in-law. Obadiah was probably married to an unidentified daughter of Richard and Hannah Scarrett in the mid to late 1740's. While living in Branford, Obadiah served in the French and Indian War. He served for a short time in 1757 before deserting and again in 1761. Obadiah and his family apparently stayed in Branford until about 1766. In that year, Obadiah purchased land from Aaron Harrison in Waterbury, Connecticut. While living in Waterbury, Obadiah married a second time to Phebe Gordon. In 1772, Obadiah sold his land in Waterbury to William Rowley, his wife's step-father. Where they went after this is somewhat of a mystery. In the late 1780's, they settled at South Hero, in what is now Grand Isle County, Vermont. It seems that before this, they may have lived off of Otter Creek in what is now Addison County, Vermont. In 1790, he was living at South Hero, Vermont. Many records it seems confuse Obadiah with his son of the same name. It appears though that they probably lived together for most of their lives. In the 1790's, Obadiah (unclear whether him or his son) had plans to move to Canada. Apparently in the year 1797, they sold their land in Vermont and moved to Canada.

528	Vernon, CT, Connecticut - Jean Roberton Howland, 93, of Vernon, CT, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 17, 2022. She was the beloved wife of the late Earl Howland. Born on May 13, 1928, in Saint John, New Brunswick, she was the daughter of the late David and Rhea (Bissett) Thomson. She graduated from Saint John High School, New Brunswick Teacher's College, and Gordon College, Boston MA. While a student at Gordon, she met and married the love of her life, Earl. Jean taught school for thirty years, ending her career in Pittsfield, ME, where she and her husband owned and operated the Donald H. Shorey Funeral Chapel. Jean was involved in Christian work all her life. While a member of First Baptist Church in Pittsfield, ME, she served as Sunday school superintendent and a member of the choir and bell choir. After retirement, she and Earl moved to Good Samaritan Village in Kissimmee, FL. where Jean volunteered in several village activities. She served as soloist and choir member in the G.S. Community Church where she was a member. Recently Jean moved to West Hartford where she entertained the staff of Brookdale Senior Living with her antics. Jean was much loved and will be missed. She is survived by her three children and their families, daughter, Elizabeth (Howland) Chadbourne and husband, Mark, of Old Town, ME; two sons, David Howland of Fairfield, ME, and Daniel Howland of Vernon, CT; six cherished grandchildren, Amy (Chadbourne) Leland and husband, Matthew, Rachel (Chadbourne) Solomon and husband, Jeremy, Kristen (Howland) Colburn and husband, Keenan, Matthew Howland and wife, Summer, Lindsay Howland, and Ian Howland; two great-grandchildren, Eowyn Leland and Nathanial Solomon; and sister-in-law, Donna Wilson. In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by her sister, Ruth Henderson and husband, Angus; sister-in-law, Lillian Howland; and brother-in-law, Sanford Wilson.	Thomson, Jean Roberton (I47)

530	While engaged in sawing a stick of wood on Saturday, Andrew BISSETT of Black Spring road, age 82, fell suddenly back and died in a few minutes. Coroner Berryman was summoned but did not consider an inquest necessary.	Bissett, Andrew (I1215537039)
531	William Bissett has possession of 700 acres of land at Cumberland Point, Waterborough Parish, Queens County in 1808. In October of 1808, William and Elizabeth sold 350 acres to Robert Cox. In September of 1812, William and Elizabeth Sold the second 350 acres to A. Barton and H. McDonald. In September 1812, William Bissett bought 200 acres from James and Jane Weldon, 100 acres each of the lots 14 and 15 at Carter Point, Westfield Parish on the Kingston Peninsula of Kings County. There is no record of lot 20 at Chapel Grove being left to James Weldon. By English inheritance law then, the eldest son assumed title to a father's property upon his death, sometimes without Probate action. Also, there is no record of a registered transfer of the Chapel Grove lot 20 from James Weldon to William Bissett. We have to assume a verbal or paper private sale at some time between 1817 and 1832, from James to William. In 1832, William and Elizabeth Bissett sell lot 20 to their son Thomas of Saint John. In 1835, William and Elizabeth sell their 200 acres, lots 14 and 15 at Carter Point to John McKeel.	Bissett, William (I1215537043)

533	WO 12/8191 The muster roll of His Majesty's 76th Regiment of Foot commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John McDonnell. Capt James Fraser's Company mustered at Inverness on 27 Jan 1779. Andrew Bisset was listed as a Private. The muster covered the period 25 Jun 1778 to 24 Dec 1778 and was sworn before Duncan Grant JP at Forres on 2 Feb 1779. There was also an Alexander Bisset, (whom I did not pursue), in Captain John McDonald's Company which mustered at Banff on 25 Jan 1779. The next muster of the 76th took place on 8 Jul 1783 at Staten Island for the period 25 Dec 1782 to 24 Jun 1783. Captain Fraser's Company was mustered but Andrew Bisset was not present. No explanations were available and there were no musters between Jan 79 and Jul 83. There are obviously two possibilities why there are no musters during this period. Either the musters did not take place or they did but the records were not preserved. I have discussed this in the past with resident staff in the PRO and did so again today. The official view is that the musters must have taken place or the regiment would not have been paid, therefore the records have not been preserved. The next muster was on 8 Mar 1784 at Stirling and obviously Andrew Bisset was not present. The final pieces which I had hoped would locate him in the 76th at Yorktown in 1781 followed by the first muster when he was not present with an explanation about his absence was just not forthcoming and I am afraid we will have to accept that. However, we can draw reasonable conclusions. 1 Andrew Bisset was in service with the 76th until Feb 79 and probably until 1781. 2 He was not present on 25 Dec 82 and was probably absent from 1781. 3 As the 76th were reformed in 1777, he probably joined around then, or shortly thereafter, and as the first muster available was in Aberdeen, it is reasonable to assume that he was recruited from that area. I know there is room for argument with these probabilities, but I think they are reasonable and they go a long way towards substantiating the claim of his son. 76th Regiment of Foot: The 76th regiment was formed in Scotland in 1777. Three hundred and forty five men were present at the battle of Yorktown, VA and were known as Lord MacDonald's Highlanders. Major Francis Needham was the commander of this group which was disbanded in 1784. From: Alexander Good [agood@netjets.com] Oct. 2005 It’s my understanding that there were 4 muster rolls for the 76th, but none surviving or known during the regt’s time in North America. I know that there was an offer made that any soldier of a regiment that was to disband could go to Canada and be granted land as long as he joined the militia, which many did. The numbers of those that mustered out in Scotland for the 76th are pretty low, about half of the numbers there should’ve been. Finding info from the 76th in Virginia or New York has been high on my list, but so far, there’s nothing out there. So, I’ve been having to piece things together from all manner of sources, especially from other regiments. Do you have the inspection return that was mentioned as having been done in March of 1779? I have the one from May of 1778, and it’s driving me crazy trying to find the other one. I’m starting to go through microfilm reels from the Amherst Papers, but it’s slow going. As told by Mary Ann 4, Thomas 3, William 2, Andrew 1 Mother's great grandfather, William Bissett, a Lieutenant in the Black Watch (Scotch) died in Virginia at the time of the war between England and the United States. His widow came to St. John, NB, Canada and settled at the foot of King St. Brining their only child, a son, William. They, not caring for the place, moved up the St. John River to a place called Bissett's Point. She married a second time to Mr. Fitzgerald. Afterward she lived at Chapel Grove, Kings County, on the Kennebecasis River, where she, we suppose, died. Her son married Betsy Elizabeth Weldon, an adopted daughter of his mother and they had twelve children. As told by Alberta May 4, William 3, William 2, Andrew 1 Capt. William Harding Bissett's grandmother came to New Brunswick from Scotland about 1770 shortly after the death of her husband, bringing with her, her only child, Thomas, eight years old. Her maiden name was Bissett and her husband's name was Bassett and after the death of her husband became a captain and the owner of his ship. Capt. Thomas Bissett's wife's maiden name was Elizabeth Weldon. Their son, William Harding Bissett, who became a sea captain, was born in the district known as the Devil's Back in St. John County, New Brunswick. Capt. Thomas Bissett, was in the Coasting Service between New York, Boston, and the Maritime Provinces. As told by Margaret3, William 2, Andrew 1 Back from the south and have found a old note that my mother typed. It relates to what her grandmother requested she write down. Her grandfather came from Scotland: went directly to Virginia in 1812, he was a Lieutenant in the War of 1812 and died there. His wife was a Perth from Scotland, they were watchmakers. Their son my grandmother's father settled in St. John for the winter; then went to Bissetts Point. He sold out there and settled up the Kennebecasis River at Chapel Grove. There were sixteen children: Benjamin who drowned while skating on the river; John a Sea Captain was lost while taking a ship laden with passengers and all else off Bermuda enroute to California. Elisha a sea Capt. was killed by his crew during a mutiny and buried at sea. He had assumed the name Thomas Elisha Whitney as a boy to allow him to ship out underage. He had promoted one of his men to 1st Mate and the crew ebelled resulting in his death. Charles went to the pearlfisheries in Australia and married there. His wife died at sea and he in Australia. He left his estate to his niece (perhaps Lida M.W.Ray) Five children died in infancy. There were three girls, Marion, Margaret(my grandmother) and Harriot. My mothers maiden name was Wadsley.	Bissett, Andrew (I1215537051)
534	Worked at Calgary Herald. Started as a paperboy at 8 and rose up to be head of the mailroom until he retired. He was also a bare-knuckled boxer in his teens and twenties to make money on the side.	Hewitt, Thomas (I1215537460)

She graduated from Saint John High School, New Brunswick Teacher's College, and Gordon College, Boston MA. While a student at Gordon, she met and married the love of her life, Earl. Jean taught school for thirty years, ending her career in Pittsfield, ME, where she and her husband owned and operated the Donald H. Shorey Funeral Chapel.

Jean was involved in Christian work all her life. While a member of First Baptist Church in Pittsfield, ME, she served as Sunday school superintendent and a member of the choir and bell choir. After retirement, she and Earl moved to Good Samaritan Village in Kissimmee, FL. where Jean volunteered in several village activities. She served as soloist and choir member in the G.S. Community Church where she was a member. Recently Jean moved to West Hartford where she entertained the staff of Brookdale Senior Living with her antics. Jean was much loved and will be missed.

William Bissett has possession of 700 acres of land at Cumberland Point, Waterborough Parish, Queens County in 1808. In October of 1808, William and Elizabeth sold 350 acres to Robert Cox. In September of 1812, William and Elizabeth Sold the second 350 acres to A. Barton and H. McDonald.

In September 1812, William Bissett bought 200 acres from James and Jane Weldon, 100 acres each of the lots 14 and 15 at Carter Point, Westfield Parish on the Kingston Peninsula of Kings County.

There is no record of lot 20 at Chapel Grove being left to James Weldon. By English inheritance law then, the eldest son assumed title to a father's property upon his death, sometimes without Probate action.

Also, there is no record of a registered transfer of the Chapel Grove lot 20 from James Weldon to William Bissett. We have to assume a verbal or paper private sale at some time between 1817 and 1832, from James to William.

In 1832, William and Elizabeth Bissett sell lot 20 to their son Thomas of Saint John.

In 1835, William and Elizabeth sell their 200 acres, lots 14 and 15 at Carter Point to John McKeel.

He and brother John may have come from Ireland at same time. I have been in touch with a Dr. Rev. Glenn Lucas for over 10 years and William Lucas and Margaret Telford are his lineage lines. He is supposed to be writing a book on the Lucases of Ireland, but as far as I know that has not yet been published. Fay Lucas Vancouver, B.C.) bertrfam@direct.ca

WO 12/8191
The muster roll of His Majesty's 76th Regiment of Foot commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel John McDonnell.

Capt James Fraser's Company mustered at Inverness on 27 Jan 1779. Andrew
Bisset was listed as a Private. The muster covered the period 25 Jun 1778 to
24 Dec 1778 and was sworn before Duncan Grant JP at Forres on 2 Feb 1779.
There was also an Alexander Bisset, (whom I did not pursue), in Captain
John McDonald's Company which mustered at Banff on 25 Jan 1779.

The next muster of the 76th took place on 8 Jul 1783 at Staten Island for
the period 25 Dec 1782 to 24 Jun 1783. Captain Fraser's Company was mustered
but Andrew Bisset was not present. No explanations were available and there
were no musters between Jan 79 and Jul 83. There are obviously two
possibilities why there are no musters during this period. Either the
musters did not take place or they did but the records were not preserved.
I have discussed this in the past with resident staff in the PRO and did so
again today. The official view is that the musters must have taken place or
the regiment would not have been paid, therefore the records have not been
preserved. The next muster was on 8 Mar 1784 at Stirling and obviously
Andrew Bisset was not present.

The final pieces which I had hoped would locate him in the 76th at Yorktown
in 1781 followed by the first muster when he was not present with an
explanation about his absence was just not forthcoming and I am afraid we
will have to accept that. However, we can draw reasonable conclusions.

1 Andrew Bisset was in service with the 76th until Feb 79 and probably
until 1781.

2 He was not present on 25 Dec 82 and was probably absent from 1781.

3 As the 76th were reformed in 1777, he probably joined around then,
or shortly thereafter, and as the first muster available was in
Aberdeen, it is reasonable to assume that he was recruited
from that area.

I know there is room for argument with these probabilities, but I think they
are reasonable and they go a long way towards substantiating the claim of
his son.

76th Regiment of Foot: The 76th regiment was formed in Scotland in 1777. Three hundred and forty five men were present at the battle of Yorktown, VA and were known as Lord MacDonald's Highlanders. Major Francis Needham was the commander of this group which was disbanded in 1784.

From: Alexander Good [agood@netjets.com] Oct. 2005
It’s my understanding that there were 4 muster rolls for the 76th, but none surviving or known during the regt’s time in North America. I know that there was an offer made that any soldier of a regiment that was to disband could go to Canada and be granted land as long as he joined the militia, which many did. The numbers of those that mustered out in Scotland for the 76th are pretty low, about half of the numbers there should’ve been. Finding info from the 76th in Virginia or New York has been high on
my list, but so far, there’s nothing out there. So, I’ve been having to piece things together from all manner of sources, especially from other regiments. Do you have the inspection return that was mentioned as having been done in March of 1779? I have the one from May of 1778, and it’s driving me crazy trying to find the other one. I’m starting to go through microfilm reels from the Amherst Papers, but it’s slow going.

Mother's great grandfather, William Bissett, a Lieutenant in the Black Watch (Scotch) died in Virginia at the time of the war between England and the United States. His widow came to St. John, NB, Canada and settled at the foot of King St. Brining their only child, a son, William. They, not caring for the place, moved up the St. John River to a place called Bissett's Point. She married a second time to Mr. Fitzgerald. Afterward she lived at Chapel Grove, Kings County, on the Kennebecasis River, where she, we suppose, died. Her son married Betsy Elizabeth Weldon, an adopted daughter of his mother and they had twelve children.

Thomas Bissett, was in the Coasting Service between New York, Boston, and the Maritime Provinces.

As told by Margaret3, William 2, Andrew 1

Back from the south and have found a old note that my mother typed. It relates to what her grandmother requested she write down. Her grandfather came from Scotland: went directly to Virginia in 1812, he was a Lieutenant in the War of 1812 and died there. His wife was a Perth from Scotland, they were watchmakers. Their son my grandmother's father settled in St. John for the winter; then went to Bissetts Point. He sold out there and settled up the Kennebecasis River at Chapel Grove. There were sixteen children: Benjamin who drowned while skating on the river; John a Sea Captain was lost while taking a ship laden with passengers and all else off Bermuda enroute to California. Elisha a sea Capt. was killed by his crew during a mutiny and buried at sea. He had assumed the name Thomas Elisha Whitney as a boy to allow him to ship out underage. He had promoted one of his men to 1st Mate and the crew ebelled resulting in his death. Charles went to the pearlfisheries in Australia and married there. His wife died at sea and he in Australia. He left his estate to his niece (perhaps Lida M.W.Ray) Five children died in infancy. There were three girls, Marion, Margaret(my grandmother) and Harriot. My mothers maiden name was Wadsley.
