(Uncle) Vocation1880In the last decade of his life, beginning about 1880, Cyrus's nephew, Grove L. Heaton, son of Cyrus's brother, Luther Heaton, wrote at least twenty stories about the pioneer days in Hanover, Chautauqua County, New York. His articles were published in the Fredonia Censor and Silver Creek News in 1884 and later. They were transcribed by Douglas Shepard in 2014, and we found them at http://chautauqua.nygenweb.net/HISTORY/Hanover_Heaton_Stories.htm on the Chautauqua County GenWeb site. Also included are Heaton's letter explaining his involvement in the Underground Railroad and background information regarding Heaton, his family, and the various publications which contained his writings. People featured in his stories who are also in our Heaton Project include the author's father, Luther Heaton, his uncles, Gilman Heaton, Cyrus Heaton and Nehemiah Heaton and Nehemiah's brother-in-law, Asa Gage Jr.2,3,4,5,6 
Birth*29 January 1788Cyrus Heaton was born on 29 January 1788 in Westminster, Windham County, Vermont.1 
(Brother) DeathDecember 1815 In December 1815, his brother, Nehemiah, who was about 30 years of age, drowned in Lake Erie near Buffalo, Erie County, New York. He had been rowing to Buffalo to pay for his mill machinery. The Chautauqua County, New York source reported his death in the Spring of 1816 and his Find a Grave memorial reported it in December 1815. The published writings of Nehemiah's nephew, Grove L. Heaton, contained the sad story of Nehemiah's tragic death. Douglas Shepard's transcription of that portion of Grove's article follows:

"Up to that time the winter had been very open, and there had no ice formed in the lake. Heaton took his man, John Johnson, and another young man by the name of Williams, whom he also had in his employ, and with a yawl-boat started for Buffalo. They left the mouth of Silver Creek soon as it was light enough for them to see clearly, expecting, if they had good weather, to reach Buffalo by nightfall. Johnson and Williams each applied themselves to rowing the boat, while Heaton sat in the stern steering. About an hour after leaving, and when about off the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek there came up one of those sudden windstorms accompanied with snow, that this climate is noted for. The first gust of wind took Heaton’s hat into the lake, and on his making a sudden spring to recover it, he lost his balance and went into the lake head foremost. When he arose to the surface, he was out of reach of the boat or anything to assist himself with.

"He probably realized his situation, and sung out to the men in the boat to throw him an oar. In the excitement of the moment both men threw their oars, neither of which came within Mr. Heaton’s reach. After throwing both oars, the men were left in the boat perfectly powerless to assist their employer, who in a short time disappeared beneath the angry waves. Mr. Heaton was an expert swimmer, but being encumbered with a heavy overcoat with a large cape, or series of capes, such as they wore in those days, and the water being very cold, he was only able to support himself above water a short time. The wind and snow was increasing fearfully, and the men, Johnson and Williams, were in the boat entirely helpless and at the mercy of the waves. The boat drifted to the shore, reaching the beach about a mile below Cattaraugus Creek. The men were enabled to land with no further injury to themselves than a thorough wetting. Their lot was very different from that of their employer. He who had left his home in the prime of manhood, so full of life, and hope, and [?] was then a lifeless corpse at the bottom of Lake Erie. The two men returned home the same evening, and when the sad intelligencewas spread among the community it cast a great gloom over them all.

"Although Mr. Heaton had been a resident here but about a year, he had become generally known through this section of the county, and was looked upon as one of the most enterprising and valuable citizens in the county. The friends immediately offered a reward for the recovery of the body, but it was not until the first week in June following, when a party of four of the Indians from the Cattaraugus reservation, who had assisted in building the dam, were on their way to the mouth of Eighteen-mile Creek on a fishing expedition, while walking along the beach, a short distance from above Sturgeon Point, they discovered the body partly covered in the sand. They recognized the body at once; and, while two of them came here to notify the friends, the other two remained watching the body until their companions with others returned.

"What speaks well for the honesty of the Indians, Mr. H. was on his way to Buffalo to settle up for the machinery and supplies they had purchased through the past summer for their mills, and had a large sum of money, which was in bank-bills, with him. The money was in a package in the breast pocket of the inside coat. When the friends reached the body, they found the coats—both coats—snugly buttoned as they were at the time he was drowned, and the money had not been disturbed. The coats had burst open along the back by the bloating of the body.

Two days before the finding of the remains of Mr. H., his wife died, but had not yet been interred. The funerals of the two were held at the same time, and their remains lay side by side in Hanover Center cemetery".

Cyrus had left Jamaica, Vermont with his family, in the early part of the summer of 1815, but did not reach Hanover, Chautauqua County until after the dead body of his brother had been found.3,7,8,9 
(Brother-in-Law) Death7 June 1817His sister-in-law, Sally (Gage) Heaton, died on 7 June 1817, shortly after being appointed the Administratrix for the estate of her husband, Cyrus's brother, Nehemiah Heaton, who had died intestate.10,11,12 
Probate*12 June 1817His brother Nehemiah's widow, Sally (Gage) Heaton, died shortly after being appointed as the Administratrix for the estate of her husband, Cyrus's brother, Nehemiah, and the Probate Court in Chautauqua County, New York, on 12 June 1817, appointed Cyrus, and Sally's brother, Asa Gage Jr., as co-Administrators of Nehemiah’s estate.12 
Marriage*He married Betsey S. Spaulding, daughter of Josiah Spaulding and Eunice Skinner.13,14 
Death*25 February 1843He died on 25 February 1843 at age 5514

Shepard's introduction follows:
    Grove L. Heaton (1820 – 1890) and his accounts of Early Hanover, New York By Douglas H. Shepard, 2014
    "In the last decade of his life, Grove L. Heaton wrote at least twenty stories about the pioneer days in early Hanover. Those stories are transcribed herein as FC 1 through FC 15, and as SCN1 through SCN5. Also included as FC16 is Heaton’s letter explaining his involvement in the Underground Railroad. The transcriptions are preceded by background information regarding Heaton, his family, and the various publications which featured his writings. In the transcriptions, most of Heaton’s spelling, punctuation, and syntax have been preserved. Where changes were required for clarity, they are noted by brackets. In many cases, paragraph separation has been added for readability"; Background Information by Douglas H. Shepard, 2014. Hereinafter cited as "Heaton's Writings About Early Hanover" by Grove L.

Birth*2 April 1717Daniel Heaton was born on 2 April 1717 in Wrentham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3,5,4,1,6 
(Brother) Relocationbetween 1734 and 1736 Sometime between 1734 and 1736, the three eldest Heaton brothers, Samuel, Jabesh and Daniel, left Connecticut and moved to an area on the Black River near Mount Olive, Morris County, New Jersey, with plans to establish an iron works. How long they operated, or how successfully, is not known, however the mountain range there was rich in iron for many years. It is believed by many descendants of this Heaton family that the boys' father, Samuel Heaton, journeyed with them from Connecticut, and assisted them in setting up their business in New Jersey. If the elder Samuel was with them initially, he also returned, before the spring of 1736, to his wife and younger children in Connecticut. His sons, though, remained in New Jersey, operating their business until they eventually ran out of trees for charcoal.7,8,2,4 
Marriage*Daniel may have married a woman named Ruth Wadsworth as reported by a 2nd great grandson of Daniel's in his Sons of the Revolution application based upon Daniel's son David's service. Ruth may have been from Connecticut, but more likely was from New Jersey, and they probably married there. Heaton Families II stated that Daniel married Ruth Wadsworth in Connecticut in 1734, and that she was born in Framingham, Massachusetts on 14 April 1711 to John Wadsworth and Elizabeth Stanley. Well.... it turns out that John and Elizabeth Wadsworth had a daughter Ruth, born on 14 April 1711 in Farmington, Connecticut. However, their Ruth Wadsworth married Elisha Lewis on 18 April 1739 in Farmington, and died on 15 October 1776 in Farmington. Ruth's husband, Elisha Lewis was born on 23 July 1710 in Farmington to Nathaniel and Abigail (Ashley) Lewis, and died in Farmington on 13 May 1769. Both Elisha Lewis and his wife, Ruth (Wadsworth) Lewis were buried in Memento Mori Cemetery, Farmington, Connecticut.

One of the things we've learned as we've improved our genealogical problem solving skills is how tempting it is to jump to the wrong conclusions in our desire to "connect the dots". We're guessing that somewhere along the line of Daniel's descendants, someone stated his wife's name was "Ruth" or even "Ruth Wadsworth", maybe from one of the Wadsworth families of New Jersey. Over time, that "information" has been passed along in the Heaton family, with someone even selecting the Connecticut origins for Ruth we now find published in the Heaton Families II as fact and, sadly, duplicated hundreds of times on websites and other electronic genealogical trees. It's sad because we realize that once the untruth reaches the internet, it never goes away.2,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 
(Son) DesertionNovember 1743Daniel was age 26 and living in New Jersey when his father was deserted by his mother in November 1743. His father filed for divorce four years later in Connecticut on 14 September 1747. According to the divorce documents, Sarah (Hawes) Heaton left with a load of goods on her horse with plans never to return to Connecticut, or to her husband, and headed for the Black River area of New Jersey where the three oldest of her sons were already living. It is not known if she ever reached New Jersey.17,6 
Relocation*1770Daniel and his wife Ruth remained in Morris County until the mid 1760s when they joined their sons, first in northern Virginia and then finally about 1770 in that part of Westmoreland County that would, in 1781, become Washington County, and in 1796, Greene County, Pensylvania.18,19 
Land Records*1788Daniel, after relocating to Pennsylvania, sold land in Morris County, New Jersey, in 1788 with his son Daniel who lived in New Jersey.20 
(Head of Household) Research Notes1790The names of the heads of household on the 1790 Census taken in Washington County, Pennsylvania, were not later alphabetized so it's possible to get a feel for relatives and other neighbors who probably lived nearby. On page 170, Daniel Heaton is near the top of the census page, and his son David is across from him on page 171. William Heaton is next to David. Near the bottom of page 170, Isaac Heaton is listed between his sons John and Henry. Jonah "Eaton" appears a short distance above them on the same page. John Heaton and William "Eaton" appear near the top and bottom of page 159, another Isaac Heaton is on page 160, Miles Heaton on page 169, John "Hitton" on page 183, Ebenezer Heaton on page 192 and another John Heaton on page 199.

Daniel's household consisted of two people, 1 free white male aged 16 and over, and 1 free white female.21,22,23,24,25,26 
Death*1796He died in Greene County, Pennsylvania, in 1796.2,3

Family
Relationship5th great-grandson of John Heaton
ChartsDescendants of John Heaton of Lincolnshire, including the Immigrant Nathaniel
Father*Seth Heaton1 b. 3 Feb 1710/11, d. 3 Jun 1797
Mother*Thankful Field1 b. 1717, d. 16 Feb 1792
(Son) Relocation1734Before he was born, and while his father was still in his early 20s, he was one of the seven proprietors who arrived in Upper Ashuelot, Keene’s original name, to open the dense forest for settlement. It was at Heaton’s log cabin where three of the settlers made the first attempt to winter in the area. Threat of starvation, however, made the venture unsuccessful. By February they were forced to return to Massachusetts to await warmer weather.2 
(Son) Research Notes We note that several of births of the children of Thankful and Seth Heaton were recorded in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire which makes it difficult to accurately determine their actual places of birth. We add to this our suspicion regarding the date of 1749 reported in the "Oldest house" article as Seth Heaton's second arrival and his family's subsequent residence in Upper Ashuelot, which later became Keene, New Hampshire. Our conclusion is that the dates don't actually matter. It all happened a long time ago, and Seth and his family were very early pioneers to the area. Their story -- and their house is a wonderful thing for the descendants of Seth and Thankful (Field) Heaton to know, and also for the town of Keene, New Hampshire, to celebrate.2 
Birth*28 May 1744David Heaton was born on 28 May 1744 in Upper Ashuelot, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3,4 
(Son) ResidenceAfter Indian hostilities lessened, his father returned to Upper Ashuelot and found charred ruins where his log cabin and small orchard once stood. On land across the pathway from his first home he built the low-framed farmhouse that, although extensively remodeled, still stands at 500 Marlboro Street.

Four of Seth and Thankful's children served in the Revolutionary War. At the time of his death in 1797, he owned several hundred acres of land in the Beech Hill area, all of which he willed to his children. Remarkably, descendants of Seth and Thankful Heaton lived in the house until 1962, when the property was sold.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, hobos, who were usually penniless migrant workers, “rode the rails” into Cheshire County during warm weather months looking for any kind of work. The Cheshire Railroad tracks ran behind the Heaton backyard. Freight trains coming into Keene from the south had to slow down for the Eastern Avenue crossing. Stories were told that hobos would jump off the train onto the Heaton backyard and knock on the back door. They would offer to mow the lawn, split firewood or do other chores in exchange for a hearty meal that the residents were known to provide as compensation.

Although the house has been extensively remodeled through the years, it continues to capture the interest of historically minded citizens as “the oldest house in Keene,” so designated by the Ashuelot Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Revolutionary War*He served as a Captain in the Revolutionary War.3 
Marriage*He married first Abigail __?__, probably in Vermont.3,5,6 
(Husband) Death26 June 1789David became a widower when Abigail (__?__) Heaton died on 26 June 1789 at about age 46.3,5 
Marriage*21 December 1791He married second Naomi Root, daughter of Samuel L. Root and Mary Alexander, on 21 December 1791 in Northfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts.7,8,6,9 
(Father) Research Opinion The Heaton Families source reported that David Heaton had one child by his second wife, Naomi Root, and also reported no other children at all for David. Our research indicates that David's daughter, Esther Heaton, was actually the biological daughter of David's first wife, Abigail __?__. His daughter Esther, who was born in January 1787, was two years old when her mother Abigail died in June 1789. David married his second wife, Naomi, in December 1791 when Esther was 4 years old. It's very possible that Esther, who lost her biological mother at such a young age, and David's second wife, Naomi, who had no biological children of her own, bonded as mother and daughter.10,11 
(Son) Will8 January 1793When David's father, Seth Heaton of Keene, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, prepared his will dated 8 January 1793, he named his four older sons, David Heaton, William Heaton, Jonathan Heaton and Luther Heaton, his two deceased daughters, Huldah Butterfield and Anna Griggs, his daughter, Susanna Mann, and his youngest son, Samuel Heaton, whom he also appointed as his Executor. To his beloved son David Heaton, he gave and bequeathed Thirty pounds Lawful money to be paid unto him within one year after his father's decease.12 
(Husband) Death29 March 1813David became a widower for the second time when Naomi (Root) Heaton died on 29 March 1813 at age 60.8 
Death*25 May 1816He died on 25 May 1816 in Westminster, Windham County, Vermont, at age 711,6 
Burial* and was buried with both of his wives, as Captain David Heaton, in Westminster West Cemetery, Westminster West, Westminster, Windham County.6,8,5
