At that time (July 1865) the population of Nebraska City was largely made up of refugees from war-cursed Missouri, and many had left their religion, with their household goods and gods, behind them in their hurried flight from danger."

JAMES¹ CATE OF PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE,

I. JAMES¹ CATE, the immigrant ancestor of this Cate family, was living at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as early as 1657. He was about 23 years of age at that time^(a). However he must have been at Portsmouth as early as 1654 or 1655^(b). His wife's name was Alice, whom he married about 1654, possibly at Portsmouth. James Cate was a carpenter and had a bill against the town, February 4, 1651.^(c). He died May 15, 1677, aged about 43 years, and by 1679 his widow Alice had married secondly, John Westbrook^(c). His estate, amounting to £62, was settled in 1702, at which time Alice was again a widow^(d).

JACOB¹ CHAMBERLAIN, CHELSEA, MASSACHUSETTS;

THREE GENERATIONS.

I. JACOB¹ CHAMBERLAIN was born about 1691, but where he was born or who his parents were has never been discovered. Some genealogists believe he was an immigrant, others that he was a grandson of Edmund¹ Chamberlain of Roxbury, Massachusetts. He was living at Roxbury, when he married, January 12, 1713/14, Abigail, daughter of William and Judith (Jacobs) Hasey of Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, Massachusetts. He moved to Rumney Marsh, some time after January, 1717/18. Jacob Chamberlain was a cordwainer, or worker in leather goods. In 1730 he bought a small farm. He died at Rumney Marsh, September, 15, 1734, aged forty-three years. As administratrix of his estate, his widow sold the farm and moved to Hopkinton with her family of ten children, the youngest born three weeks after her husband's death. She did not remarry as was customary at that time. She is doubtless the Mrs. Chamberlain who died at Hopkinton, April 1793, "the oldest person in the town above 95." If so, she had passed here (sic) ninety-seventh birthday, for she was baptised, October 20, 1695.^(a)

THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST

  Children of Jacob¹ and Abigail (Hasey) Chamberlain:
       i. Sarah, b. Dec. 1714, Roxbury; m. David Burnap of Hopkinton.

II. SAMUEL² CHAMBERLAIN (Jacob¹) was baptised at Chelsea, Massachusetts, June 7, 1724, probably when only a few days old. He was ten years of age when his father died. He married, March 2, 1748/49, at Hopkinton, Martha Mellen, one of the twin daughters of Deacon Henry and Abigail (Pratt) Mellen. In 1772 Samuel Chamber lain and his brother John acquired a tract of six hundred acres a few miles east of Concord, New Hampshire, and in 1774 he removed thither with his family settling in the newly organized town of Loudon. In 1776 he was one of the selectmen of the town. In this position he was one of the men called upon to obtain signatures to the Association Test ordered by the Continental Congress in 1776. He was elect ed to the first state legislature to represent Loudon and Canterbury. In 1791 the boundaries between Loudon and Concord were changed so that Samuel Chamberlain, his son Samuel and his brother Abiel were set off into the town of Concord. In 1797 he removed to Peacham, Vermont, where he died in 1802. His widow Martha died November 14, 1820, aged 90 years.^(b)

William³ Chamberlain (Samuel2 Jacob¹), in an account of the family prepared for his children, stated that his grandfather was one of four brothers who came to this country from England. He said that the other brothers settled at Newton, Mass., Newport, R. I., and Rochester, N. H. See Chamberlain. Abbie M., above.

BOOK REVIEWS

History of Michael Reasor and Allied Families. By F. Hiner Dale, Guymon, Okla., 1941. $2.00. 229 pages.

The greater part of this book is devoted to the descendants of Michael Reasor (1760-1843) of Winchester, Virginia, and Spencer County, Kentucky. A few of his descendants were early adherents of the Church of Latter Day Saints and their lines are carried out with a great deal of detail. Descendants of other branches of the family are especially numerous in Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri.
