Abijah BRAINERD was born on Nov 26 1705 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. He died before Mar 22 1798 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. He had an estate probated on Apr 30 1798 in Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT In his will dated 9 February 1781, Abijah mentioned his loving wife, Thankful, and gave her one-third of his moveable estate and one-third of all of his lands, dwelling house and barn, as long as she remained his widow. At her death or remarriage, Thankful's part o, Othniel, Simon, Urijah, Shubal and Cornelius, and to the children of his deceased son, Abijah, named Abijah and Savina, who were to inherit their father's share equally. [The Barbour Collection calls Savina "Vienna."]
Son Simon Brainerd was to care for the grandchildren's shares until they reached 21 years of age. Abijah gave his son, Cornelius, the land with his house and barn. Cornelius was to pay five schillings each to Abijah's two loving granddaughters, Alidia and Abigail, "which Samuel Mack had by my daughter, Alidia, deceased."
He bequeathed the remainder of his moveable goods, other than that given to his wife, to be equally divided among his daughters, Deborah Hurlbut, Zilpah Clark, Leah Freeman, Rachel Brooks, Dorcas Higgins, Thankful Hubbard and Mary Bowers, and the children "which Capt. Daniel Brainerd had by my daughter, Esther, dec'd, whose names are Seth, Daniel and Esther" Brainerd, who were to divide their mother's share equally. He appointed his son Simon Brainerd, as his executor. Witnesses were Thomas Selden, Aaron Selden and Elias Selden.
Abijah's cattle mark was recorded in Haddam town records 28 December 1727. According to the DAR Patriot Index, Abijah, [Sr.], gave public service to the patriots during the Revolutionary War, but no proof has been found and the date of death given for him there is erroneous. He settled on Haddam Neck, and was a farmer. He was married to Thankful FULLER about 1738 in East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. No marriage record has been found for Abijah Brainerd and Thankful Fuller. Further problems have resulted because Thankful's children were recorded in Haddam town records under her husband's name only, with someone adding, in square brackets at a later date, the name of Abijah's first wife, Esther, after the dates of three of Thankful's children, Rachel, Dorcas and Uriah. However, the baptism of Abijah Brainerd, [Jr.] the first child of Abijah and Thankful Brainerd, was performed 29 April 1739, in Haddam, by a visiting minister, the Rev. Edward Eels, but was recorded in his own church, the First Congregational Church of Cromwell, a parish in Middletown. From 1741 to 1759, ten more children, called "of Abijah and Thankful Brainerd," were baptized in the Haddam Neck Congregational Church, which had been formed from parts of Haddam and Middletown. Confirmation that these were Thankful Fuller's children, and not the children of a Thankful Williams, as has sometimes been stated, nor of Abijah's first wife, Esther, is found in a deed dated 27 June 1748, in which Thankful's brothers Ephraim and Shubael Fuller, called her "Thankful Brainerd" when they quitclaimed to Thankful and to their other sisters a parcel of land in Middletown, Conn., east of the Connecticut River, which had belonged to their father, Ensign Shubael Fuller of East Haddam. Therefore, the child Abijah Brainerd, who was baptized in the Cromwell Church, and all those born after him, were born to Thankful Fuller, daughter of Shubael and Hannah (Crocker) Fuller and were all descendants of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Edward
ck Congregational Church when their first eight children were baptized there, for church records show that it was not until 11 February 1753, that Abijah was admitted to communion with the church. His wife, Thankful, was not admitted until 29 March 1761. Church members took religion very seriously and people did not become members until they and the members of the congregation determined that they were fully qualified as pr?cticing Christians.haddam.com/tucker/daniel_brainerd.htm

Note -- despite some confusion on my part about whether this Amos and the other one that I have in my files are one in the same, the proof that they are different is in "Pioneer Families of Cleveland, Ohio" where it states that Amos' (spouse of Rachel) daughter Nancy married the son of Amos and Martha Aiken Brainard.

BIOGRAPHY: This is taken from a book published in July 1896 "Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve" which contains write-ups about the female pioneers in townships in the Western Reserve. Thank you to Betty Ralph for transcribing this for the site.

BROOKLYN

The northern boundary of this township was once bounded by Lake Erie, but in 1836 that part of it became ?Ohio City,? and years later was annexed to Cleveland. Its present boundaries are Independence on the east and Parma on the south.

Its first settlers were the BRAINARD and FISH families from Haddam, Ct., in the fall of 1811. These two families inter-married so often that it is safe to conclude that every Brooklyn BRAINARD one meets is descended from the first pioneer who bore the name of FISH and that every FISH that still resides in the township had a BRAINARD ancestor.

Ozias BRAINARD with his family, riding in a wagon drawn by oxen, left Old Haddam for Brooklyn and were six weeks on the road, only stopping long enough to eat, sleep and washing their clothes. Their house was the first one built on the south side of Big Creek, and the first apple trees in the vicinity were brought by them from the east. Two of these are still living and bearing fruit.

The nearest neighbor of the family was a squaw who, one day, appealed for food for her hungry papooses. As Mrs. BRAINARD had no bread in the house, she baked a quick johnny cake over the coals in the fireplace, and gave her a share which was gratefully received. Mrs. BRAINARD helped to found the First Methodist church of Brooklyn.

In 1815 came Jerusha RAY (Mrs. Amos BRAINARD) and Dorothy ELY (Mrs. William BRAINARD). Harriet and Charlotte, daughters of the latter, have lived single in the old home. They were fine looking women and so witty and genial that their society was much sought and young girls were always delighted to receive an invitation to the home of the ?BRAINARD girls.? The sisters made a beautiful home and an art of housekeeping.

Other daughters of the family were Philema and Jerusha. George BRAINARD married Delight HILL of Twinsburg. Their two daughters grew up in a home of plenty and their characters were formed by kind and upright parents. Mary married Samuel SLOAN and lives in West Virginia, Annie became Mrs. Sherry FISH and lives in Brooklyn.

In 1815 Jeremiah GATES came from Delhi, N.Y., on foot in order to examine the country between that place and Brooklyn. Satisfied with his survey, he returned home, married Phoebe DEMING and started back with her, making the trip, this time, with horse and wagon to Buffalo and thence to Cleveland by boat.

Their only daughter, Matilda, was the first white child born in the township. She married Isiah FISH, and died at the age of thirty-three.

As early as 1814, Seth BRAINARD with his wife Delilah came from Haddam, Ct., and bought a large tract of land, adding to it from time to time, until it numbered 100 acres. A fine inheritance for their children.

The same year came Elijah YOUNG and his wife Candace, also their son Warren and wife Mary DEAN. A covered wagon drawn by oxen brought them on they journey from Chatham, Ct., in forty days. They settled on farms in fine locations and put up their log cabins, one a double one.

The Seneca Indians were not infrequent callers, were friendly, but too much inclined to beg. Flour for some time was $18.00 a barrel, and brave Mary DEAN YOUNG had to exercise much forethought in providing bread for her little flock until land could be cleared for a crop of wheat. Once she was forced to open the oven door and remove the top crust of a johnny cake she was baking to quiet the hungry crying of her children.

Candace was a sprightly little lady, and always walked to the ?village,? as she called what is now the city of Cleveland, even after it had grown to be one of good size.

Her son, Warren YOUNG, was the first settler to construct a road through Big Creek valley. This was a serious but very necessary undertaking since the ?Loaf Hills? in rainy seasons supplied mud of the most baffling nature. Also he started the first toll gate kept in the township.

One of his daughters recalls her alarm when a big Indian, standing in the doorway of the road house, uttered a war whoop with all the power of his lungs. It was, however, only an expression of good feeling as he stalked away with the tobacco he had just begged.

Warren YOUNG kept the first tavern in the settlement, which means that Mary had to prepare beds and meals at all hours of the day or night. For many years this place, under different managers, was a tavern site.

Their three daughters Emmeline, Harriet and Emily, always resided in the township. Emmeline became the wife of Lawton ROSS, and the hospitality of her home was proverbial. They had no children but adopted two orphans, William CUSHMAN and Mary GREEN. Out of this grew a romance, for, when arrived at a suitable age, the pair were married.

Emmeline passed away at the age of eighty in the home to which she came as a bride. She had a gentle, sweet nature and was beloved by all.

Emily became Mrs. Samuel LOCKWOOD, and like her sisters was a notable housekeeper.
Harriet married Willard BRAINARD. Their daughters, Emmeline BRAINARD now Mrs. Abel FISH; Clarissa, Mrs. Leonard FISH; and Celia, Mrs. Lewis BRAINARD, settled near the childhood home.
Sarah B. YOUNG, who may have been a sister of Warren YOUNG, was born in East Haddam, Ct., came to Brooklyn in 1819, and married Jonathan FISH. George AIKEN of Haddam, Ct., aged forty-five years, and his wife, Tamzen HIGGINS, aged forty-three, came to Brooklyn in 1811. Mrs. AIKEN survived her husband nearly a quarter of a century, dying when a very old lady.

Her children were Cyrel, Jared, Julia, Laura, Caroline and William. They intermarried with the families of the earliest settlers. Cyrel married Harriet RUSSELL, Jared married Julia BRAINARD and lived in Amherst, Ohio, Caroline married Diodate CLARK, and William married Betsey CLARK, sister of Diodate.

Julia AIKEN married Alonzo CARTER, son of Lorenzo of Cleveland, and kept tavern with her husband on the West side opposite the foot of Superior St. A Julia AIKEN, also daughter of George and Tamison (or Tamzen) AIKEN, is recorded as being the wife of a RATHBUN, secondly of Abner COCHRAN.
Betsey CLARK AIKEN lived to be ninety-one years old. She is said to have been a most worthy pioneer, and held in the highest respect.

Joseph and Hannah COLE CLARK also lived in Haddam, Ct. Mr. CLARK died, and his widow with all but one of her ten children came to Brooklyn among its earliest settlers. Her children were of the foremost element of progress in the town and connected with leading families of Brooklyn and Cleveland.

They were Joseph, who married Clarissa DICKENSON; Corey, who married Mary SKINNER; and Diodate, who married Caroline AIKEN.

There were also six daughters in this family: Ruth, who became Mrs. Isaac ROBINSON; Mary, Mrs. Joseph BRAINARD; Phoebe, Mrs. Warren ELY; Betsey, Mrs. William AIKEN; Maria, Mrs. Erastus SMITH of Warrensville. Lydia and Hannah were the wives successively of Sylvanus BROOKS of Newburgh.

Martin KELLOGG, born in Chatham, Ct., in 1793 married Laura ADAMS, daughter of Benjamin ADAMS of West Chester, Mass., in 1818. Soon after, accompanied by his young wife, he started with others for a new home in Brooklyn. They traveled as was the usual way, by ox team, and it also took the usual time for the journey, forty days.

They settled upon a farm upon a part of which their son now lives in a fine residence. Mrs. KELLOGG?s children were all sons and, lacking sisters, they must have had to assist their mother in her household work more than is usual for boys to do.

Alfred married Louise ACKLEY, daughter of Asa ACKLEY, and old settler who lived on a farm near the Infirmary.

Among the noble pioneer women of Brooklyn was Mrs. Isaac HINCKLEY, nee Sarah SHEPARD of Chatham, Ct., who arrived here with her family in 1815. She had seven children, four of whom were daughters. They brought two ox teams, two cows, a horse and a dog. One of the wagons contained the household goods. The most valuable were the loom and spinning wheel, also the precious store of provisions that were to last the large family until the land was cleared and made productive. They reached their future home in the forest after six weeks of steady travel, and found themselves five miles from the little hamlet of Cleveland. The wilderness swarmed with bears, wolves, panthers, deer and other wild animals. Fires were kept burning all night and day, alternately fed by Mr. and Mrs. HINCKLEY for protection. Wolves came so close at night that they could hear the rustling of the leaves and twigs under their feet, also Indians passed closely by frequently, but usually were friendly, though their presence was always terrifying.

The log cabin had but two rooms and a loft reached by a ladder, where the children slept. The huge chimney was built of mud and cement, while the floor was of hewn logs. The loft was so open that the children could count the stars through the wide cracks, and often in winter snow would beat in over the bed and floor.

Mrs. HINCKLEY was a typical pioneer?s wife, standing by her husband?s side, day after day, burning brush or tilling the unclaimed land. The first year was one of peril and anxiety, for the store of provisions brought from Connecticut became so low that starvation threatened. For months they lived on pounded corn made into mush, supplemented by occasional game. Once Mr. HINCKLEY tried to mortgage his farm of 200 acres for a barrel of flour, so great was the extremity. But no flour could be obtained.
Like every other pioneer?s home, Mrs. HINCKLEY?s shuttle played no insignificant part in the home. Emily and Lucy were not old enough to be useful, but even the younger ones soon learned to wind bobbins for their mother.

It was a God-loving home. Morning and evening the bible was read, hymns sung, and earnest prayers were given for divine guidance. The nearest church was two miles distant, at first only a school-house, and it was the custom of the HINCKLEY children, as well as others to carry their shoes and stockings in their hands until within sight of the church, then sit down on a log and put them on, thus saving the wear of those precious articles at the expense of their feet.
These children were an honor to their mother after leaving the home nest. The youngest surviving one died in Iowa aged eighty-four. Emily married Herrick GOULD, and died in Newburgh in 1849. She was the mother of Mrs. Oliver HARTZELL of Cleveland. Lucy married Starkweather BRANCH of Cleveland, in 1827, and died the same year. Cleantha married Phineas SHEPARD, Jr., of Cleveland and died in 1886. She was the mother of Mrs. G. GUILFORD of Cleveland and Mrs. A. W. MEREDITH of Washington, Iowa.

Sarah HINCKLEY became Mrs. C.S. GATES of Brooklyn, and died in 1873, leaving four sons.

Mrs. Demas BRAINARD (Nancy) who came from Haddam, Ct., in 1818, had three daughters and a son who were all born in the township. Phoebe marred Alfred FISH, Lucinda married Leonard HUNTLEY, Betsey remained single, and Luther married Marcia SPRAGUE of Parma. She was born in Keene, N.H.

In 1824 Nathaniel GATES and his wife, Nancy SMITH, with her sister, Sally SMITH, came from Chatham, Ct., after a short stay in Delhi, N.Y. Their daughter Caroline married Dan WILLIAMS. Sally became Mrs. James PATTERSON and Mary GATES remained unmarried.

The settlement had now become prosperous. Roads through the hilly country surrounding had been laid out with the hardest kind of work. Good feeling prevailed as the settlers were mostly connected by marriage or by strong bonds of sympathy. But pioneer life was not all toil by any means, for much visiting back and forth kept warm the friendships. These visits were made in ox carts or on horseback.
About 1837 Levi LOCKWOOD and his wife, Tamison, came from Madrid, N.Y., with their grown-up family and kept the Brooklyn tavern. Their three daughters, Finette, afterward Mrs. Lewis WRIGHT of Fremont; Malvina who married Ducay LOSEY and Helen, who became Mrs. George MATHEWS, were all efficient aids in the business, and the generous fare and well kept rooms of that necessary institution the ?Country Tavern? were largely owing to the industry and zeal of these bright girls.
Malvina, the only one now living, is a useful woman of good mind and possessed of a singular gift of preparing herbs and roots for medical use. She had a fine disdain for doctors and their ?stuff,? and, had she come upon the stage of life years later, would have been an invaluable nurse, or even a physician herself, at least for her own sex.

Rev. Edward FULLER, with his wife Anne GREEN of Granston, R.I., came to Brooklyn and became a minister of the town. Mrs. FULLER was a lovely woman with a fund of cheerfulness that never failed and an inborn love of flowers and a gift for cultivating them. Her life was well rounded out with years.
She had unusual business faculty, and by her enterprise in allotting and recording of her property, made possible the incorporation of the village. Without such help, it would have been almost impossible.

Her eldest daughter, Mary FULLER, was a beautiful girl who early joined the Society of Friends in which faith her mother had been raised. Her rosy face beaming from the depth of a Quaker bonnet of drab silk, was a revelation to the townspeople who passed her. She married Thomas PINKHAM of Salem, and died at the age of thirty-one.

The youngest daughter, Anna FULLER, grew up in the retirement of the pretty village, and was married to her school teacher, William TREAT, and still resides in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn in those days was very attractive, occupying a high, sandy ridge which assured its healthfulness, and with a soil that was very productive. Society was at its best. Education advantages were held in high esteem. Much was thought of and done for young people. Debating societies, singing classes and informal parties were frequently held at some home or at the tavern. The last were not monopolized by the young, for there were many social events for real enjoyment held by their elders, where friends met early in the afternoon, visited, danced, and enjoyed a good supper.
The old tavern passed through many hands, and has finally disappeared. Many other changes also have taken place. A long viaduct spans the Big Creek valley and over the pioneers roads made with so much effort and toil, rush symbols of the new age, the automobile and the electric car.

Jabez Brainard, born 1759, son of Simon and Hepzibah Spencer Brainard, a soldier of the American Revolution, rests in Erie street cemetery at the right of the main drive, and not far from the Erie street entrance. His brother Simon Brainard was a lieutenant in the Conn. Continentals. His brother Jeptha Brainard served seven years in the revolutionary army. His brother Asa Brainard also was a soldier of the American Revolution.

The parents of these patriots lived in Chatham, Conn. Soon after the close of the war, Jabez Brainard married Lucy Bingham, daughter of Deacon Elijah and Sarah Jackson Bingham, and removed to Leamsted, N. H., where he lived many years. He was a leading member of the Presbyterian church of that town, and was familiarly known as "Deacon Brainard."

His only son Nathan Brainard established himself in business in Cleveland, and hither at the death of his wife came Jabez Brainard seeking and receiving in the loneliness of his declining years the ministrations that only kinship and love can bestow. And in this city, in 1852, in the once well known Brainard residence on Sheriff street, he died aged 94. A large part of the history of Cleveland is to be found in the lives of many old families of this city allied through marriage to the descendants of this revolutionary hero.

Deacon Jabez Brainard was of slight build, and of medium height. He had blue eyes that twinkled with mirth, or shone with intelligence. He was exceedingly original in his speech, w?thal a Puritan by inheritance and instinct, a markedly pious man even in the days when irreligion was rare in the community. His desk, a beautiful piece of Colonial furniture, stood in the library of his grandson, the late Prof. George Brainard, and doubtless is still treasured and used by the family.

In another of his series of Cleveland's Revolutionary War hero's, Mr.
Kelley discusses Jabez Brainard, last of the suviving veterens.

The Last Leaf--

Jabez Brainard, forebear of Cleveland's musical family,born in
Connecticut in 1758, died in Cleveland in 1852, probably was the cities
last surviving veteren of the Revolutionary War. He was buried in Erie
Street Cemetery to the right of the main drive, until his remains were
removed to Lake View Cemetery.
Ninety-four when he died, his life was a story of military service,
family life in a New England town, as leader of a church and, finally of
residence in Cleveland, where he marched with other white-haired
veterens on Public Square. The date of his death, as entered by Ohio's
Military Register and approved by the State, is at variance with the one
I give. But mine, from cemetery records, undoubtedly is correct. Honah
Hanchett is said by these military records to have died here in 1860.
An orderly, in the Revolution, he lived to be 92. But his buriel place
is listed unknown and there is no record showing he lived here.
Jason Robbins of Solon, lived to be 90, and Obidiah Cooper,buried in
Warrensville, to be 92. Josia Wicox of Brecksville lived to be 91, while
Jared Farrand, buried in Fairview, and John Sheppard of North Royaton,
passed the century mark, but these lived without the city limits.

The " Deacon "--

Jabez Brainard was the son of Simon and Hepzibah Spencer Brainard of
Chatham, Conn. His brother, Simon, was Lieutenant in the Continnentials
with whom brother Asa was a marine. With peace, Jabez wedded Lucy
Bingham, daughter of Deacon Elijah and Sarah Jackson Bingham, and for
many years resided in Lemsted, N.H. Leader of the Presbyterian Church,
he was " Deacon Brainard." His son, Nathan, came here in the
mid-thirties and opened a music store on Superior Street. He bought
land on the east side of Sheriff (E. 4th) Street an with his four sons,
built a home. Like myself, many will recall the later quaint Brainard
brick terrace with mounting steps and areas on the site of McCrory's
west entrance.
When his wife died in New England, Jabez came here to pass his last
years with son Nathan. " Deacon" Jabez Brainard was of slight build and
medium height with humorous, inteligent blue eyes. H? possessed a
Puritanic manner of speaking with the piety and religious convictions of
a day when there were few churches. His ornamental colonial desk was
long treasured in the library of his grandson. Prof. George Brainard.
His desendants were many. The late Miss Annie Brainard, a prominent
member of Trinity Cathedral congregation, whose home was on Kenilworth
Drive, was a great granddaughter. Her father, Silas, and her
grandfather, Nathan, built Melodeon Hall on the site of the Wilshire
Building. Later they renamed it Brainard's Hall. All four grandsons
married, had families and were well known. Silas married Emily C. Mould,
daughter of Henry Mather, married her sister, Laura V. Mould. Prof.
George W., noted organist and music teacher, married Louise Hills,
daughter of Nathan C. Hills; Joseph Mather, the fourth granson, married
Helen Cushmen Hills, her sister, and their only child, Nelly Brainard,
became Mrs.Wilson Black Chisholm and all their decendants are all sons
and daughters of the Revolution.
Amos Brainard, buried in old Brookmere Cemetary, Brooklyn, settled
in the southwestern part of the city. Mrs. Perry Geller,1637 Holyrood
Road, tells me she is directly descended from a brother of Jabez. Her
ancestry traces back through her father, George Brainard, to Enoch
Brainard, veterinary surgeon in the Civil War. His father, Enoch
Southworth Brainard, settled in Newburg and married his cousin, Abigail
Brainard, daughter of Silas, a son of the Revoluntion.
The removal of Jabez Brainard's remains to Lake View Cemetery took
place in 1915. He rests in his original Tombstone, near the man
entrance.
