     Petition of Soldiers, signed by Jacob Waldron and others. There was a number of other papers, relative to the services of JACOB WALDRON of Warner, N. H., but without doubt the four above will suffice, and the several different dates will OBVIATE THE NECESSITY of presenting the exact date of death of JACOB WALDRON, born March 2, 1743.

     II. Jacob Waldron, eldest child of Isaac and Susanna (Chandler) Waldron was born in Rumford, March 2, 1743, and settled with his father, Isaac, and his brother Isaac Jr., in Warner in 1763. He was a lieutenant, March 5, 1774, in the Fifteenth New Hampshire Militia, Twelfth Company of New Amesbury (Warner); Lieutenant in Capt. William Stilson's company, the Second Company in Colonel Wyman's New Hampshire Regiment, raised in 1776.
     He married July 12, 1764, Sarah Abbott, born January 12, 1743, daughter of James Abbott, born January 12, 1717. Harriman's history of Warner gives their children as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Benjamin C (?).
     Warner, N. H., in 1763. Richard Kenny Waldron was a settler in STAFFORD about the same time, and is believed to have been a brother of ISAAC. It is said of Isaac that he was brainy, levelheaded and public-spirited, but not orthodox -- not a church member.

John Morrill (son of Richard Morrill and grandfather of Charles Henry Morrill) married Mary Watkins. She was the daughter of Jason Watkins. Jason Watkins was the son of Abner Watkins. He married Ruth Annis, who was the daughter of Daniel Annis, who served on the Committee of Safety and gave other patriotic service during the Revolutionary War.

     Daniel Annis, Sr., served on Committee of Safety in Warner, N. H., August 3, 1775.
     Daniel Annis, Sr., served as Selectman in Warner, N. H., 1775. History of Warner, N. H., by Walter Harriman, 1879, page 67, Annis. Also pages 2,5 and 216 Rev. War Rolls, N. H.
     THE CENSUS--The Provincial Congress held at Exeter, N. H., issued 25, August 1775 an order for taking a CENSUS also a number of FIRE ARMS, etc.
     "RETURN OF WARNER, N. H." Sworn to by Daniel Annis as one of the Selectmen.
     Page 217, Same Hist. "When Daniel Annis, Senior, made the above return Warner had one colored man (not a slave)," etc.
     History of Hopkinton, N. H., by C. C. Lord, 1890, page 303.
     "DANIEL ANNIS from Massachusetts to Concord then Hopkinton and Warner," 1762. "At that time, 1762, REUBEN KIMBALL, was 24 years old (at the time of his settlement at Warner) and his wife Hannah 22."
     Hannah Kimball was a daughter of Daniel Annis and as RUTH ANNIS, who married Abner Watkins Sr. was the YOUNGEST DAUGHTER of Daniel Annis, she would have been born some years later than her sister Hannah (Annis) Kimball, or probably somewhere about the year 1744-6, that being the year of the birth of Abner Watkins, the husband of Ruth Annis. Page 66, History of Warner, N. H., says that Daniel Annis and his son-in-law REUBEN KIMBALL came to Warner, N. H., in 1762. If Hannah Kimball was at that time

22 years old and OLDER than her sister RUTH, Ruth would probably have been born about 1744-62. Page 213, Voted Mr. Daniel Annis Sen. Surverare.

     About 1745, Daniel Annis disposed of his property in Bradford and removed to Concord, N. H. He settled near Captain Ebenezer Eastman's. In 1748 he united with others in a petition to "HIS EXCELLENCY, Benning Wentworth, praying that a small number of soldiers might be placed in the GARRISON near HENRY LOVE-JOY'S GRISTMILL, which he had erected at great expense which was a good mill and at a place the most advantageously to accommodate the three towns of RUMFORD (now Concord), Contoocook (now Boscawen), and Canterbury." The petitioners set forth that "the ill consequences of abandoning the garrison the first year hath been severely felt by us," etc.
