<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong><u>Stephen Flanders</u></strong>, immigrant ancestor of all of the colonial families of this name in Massachusetts and Maine, and possibly of the whole country, was born in England about 1620. He was a pioneer in Salisbury, Massachusetts, as early as 1640, and a proprietor of that town from 1646 to 1677. He married <strong>Jane</strong> ______, who died November 19, 1683. He died June 27, 1684. His will was proved September 30, 1684, bequeathing to his eldest son STEPHEN, to daughters Mary, Naomi and Sarah, and to grandchild, Thomas Flanders, the residue being left to sons PHILIP and JOHN.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">A. <strong>MARY</strong></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"> died May 4, 1650</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">B. <strong> STEPHEN</strong> was born in Salisbury Massachusetts, March 8, 1646, died October 6, 1744, aged 98 years, 6 months, and 26 days. He married, December 28 1669, ABIGAIL CARTER, born February 22, 1653, daughter of Thomas and Mary Carter. Children born at Salisbury: Thomas, February 17, 1671, died April 1 1672; Stephen, January 31, 1672, married Sarah Blaisdell; Thomas December 3, 1673, married, March 8, 1711, Catherine Hackett; Daniel, March 16, 1676; Joseph, March 28, 1677; <span style="color: blue;"><strong>PHILIP (see below in blue),</strong></span><span style="color: black;"> Jane, March 1684, married John Martin; Jeremiah, September 1686, married Mary Hayes; Abigail born October 1688, married Jabez Page.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial";"><strong>PHILIP, </strong><span style="color: blue;">son of Stephen Flanders 2nd was born in Salisbury, January 8, 1681. He married, February 2, 1710 Joanna Smith. They settled at Kingston, New Hampshire. Their children: Sarah, born November 16, 1710;</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong> PHILIP (see below in red),</strong></span><span style="color: black;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="color: blue;">Zipporah, March 4, 1716; Joanna, May 20, 1719, Abigail, August 15, 1722; Richard, April 6, 1727, June 29, 1728.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>PHILIP</strong>, son of PHILIP, son of STEPHEN, son of STEPHEN Flanders was born at Kingston or Salisbury, March 13, 1713. He married October 1735, Hannah Morrill. Their children: Sarah born 1736, James 1739, <strong><span style="color: #783f04;">Daniel</span></strong>, Ezra born 1743, <span style="color: purple;"><strong>PHILIP (1746 see below in purple)</strong>; <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Christopher</span></strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> was born in Kingston or Hawke, New Hampshire. He served in the revolution of the Lexington Alarm, marching from New Ipswich (see Revolutionary Rolls, NH State Papers xiv, pg 34). The history of Warner says: "<span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>Christopher Flanders</strong></span>, brother of James, came from Hawke, New Hampshire, remained a few years and removed to Canada" (pg 93). He may have lived at Sutton, New Hampshire for a time, after leaving Warner. He settled finally in the providence of Quebec, Canada. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial";">The family settled at Hawke, now Dansville, New Hampshire, and many of them went to Warner, New Hampshire. The history of Warner says: "<span style="color: #783f04;"><strong>Daniel Flanders came from Hawke, now Danville, and lived in the lower village near the Henry B Chase house. He was Warner's first town clerk. His farm extended across the river and the lightning struck one of his trees near the Hutchinson place, broke it down and shivered it in pieces. Flanders hauled it home for firewood and in doing this stuck a sliver into his hand. He got cold in this slight wound and died. From that circumstance, most of the people believed that the electric fluid poisons the wood and that a scratch from a splinter of such a tree is sure death</strong></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "arial";">PHILIP, son of Christopher Flanders, was born about 1790, probably at Warner, New Hampshire. He settled at Hatley, province of Quebec, Canada. He married Lydia Hall. Children: Craig, George, Hiram, Seth, Mary and Amanda. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">James Flanders from Hawke, now Danville, also came to Warner. He was a farmer and cordwainer and for 8-10 years a State senator and a leading citizen. He had sons Calvin, Abner, Ezra, <strong>PHILIP</strong> and Timothy (pg 250 Warner).</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">PHILIP Flanders, was from Hawke, a brother of Daniel (who came to Warner with him) and to James and Christopher (who came afterward). Philip settled where the symmetrical elm tree now stands, it being the first place on the Schoodac Road. He was the father of MAJOR PHILIP, who lived on the Pine Plain and who is yet remembered by a majority of the people of Warner.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was another family distantly related that also settled in Warner.</span> Zebulon Flanders of South Hampton, married Hannah French, of Kingston and settled where Captain Timothy and Walter M. Flanders afterward lived. His children were: Nathaniel, Ezekiel, Zebulon, Benjamin F, Timothy, Hannah, Job and Washington. Hawke was formerly part of Kingston, New Hampshire.</span><br />
<br />
Isaiah Flanders, another settler in Warner, was from South Hampton, and had daughters who married Nehemiah Ordway, _________ Dike, and _________Tewksbury.<br />
<br />
Moses Flanders, of Warner, Zebulon's brother, had sons Ezekiel, Amos, John and Colonel William G. Flanders.<br />
<br />
In the Census 1790 we find the following Flanders reported from Warner, s heads of families: James, <span style="color: purple;"><strong>PHILIP</strong></span>,<span style="color: #274e13;"><strong> Christopher</strong></span> (who had 2 males under 16 and 3 females in his family), Zebulon, <span style="color: orange;"><strong>PHILIP JR,</strong></span> Moses, Isaiah and Hopk (Hopkins probably).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">"The town of <u>Boscawen</u>
is located near the center of the county, and is bounded as follows: North by
Salisbury; East by Northfield and Canterbury; South by Concord and West by
Webster.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The original grant
of this town was made to John Coffin and eighty others by the government of Massachusetts
Bay, June 6, 1733. It was named Contoocook, and bore that name until it was
incorporated as a town, April 22, 1760, for a term of two years, by the
government of New Hampshire, and given its present name in honor of Admiral
Edward Boscawen, of the British navy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This charter was continued for an indefinite term, by the same
authority, October 7, 1763.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first
proprietor's meeting was held in Newbury, Mass, in 1733, and thirty-three of
the proprietors commenced settlement in the town the following spring.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Mr. Richard Hazen,
an experienced surveyor, who had been employed by the proprietors of Penacook
to survey that plantation, was engaged to make the first survey of Contoocook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The original plot, as laid by him, is on file
in the archives of the Secretary of State, Boston.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">During the year 1734
thirty-three settlers came to Contocook to begin life anew in the wilderness. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rev. Mr. Price has handed down the names of
twenty-seven only; but from a deposition made by Moses Burbank in 1792 the
number is stated as being thirty-three as follows: David Barker, Sinkler Bean,
John Bowen, Josiah Bishop, Andrew Bohonnon, Moses Burbank, <span style="color: #c00000;">Philip Call</span>, Thomas Cook, John Corser, William
Dagodon, William Danforth, Nathaniel Danforth, Joseph Eastman, Edward Emery,
Edward Fitzgerald, <span style="color: #c00000;">Jacob Flanders</span>, Richard
Flood, John Fowler, Stephen Gerrish, Ambrose Gould, Richard Jackman, George
Jackman, Joel Manuel, Nathaniel Meloon, William Peters, Nathaniel Rix, Daniel
Rolfe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(<span style="color: #cc0000;">Jacob Flanders and Philip Call
were best friends</span>)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">It is not probable
that many of the settlers' families came in the spring, but most were there
before the close of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>November
8, 1734, a meeting of the proprietors was held at the house of Archelaus Adams,
in Newbury. It was voted that a saw-mill should be built at the charge of the
proprietors, and Daniel hale, Joseph Gerrish and Thomas Thoria were chosen a committee
to attend to the matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same
committee was empowered to rectify a mistake made in the laying out of lots,
and John Brown, the surveyor, was engaged to go to Contoocook to show the
proprietors the locations of the lots.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Five of the
proprietors (<u>Joseph Lunt</u>, John Coffin, Thomas Thorla, <u>Benjamin Lunt</u>,
Benjamin Coker, and Edward Emery) entered their dissent in regard to the power
of the committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">December 18<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>,
1734 another meeting was held. It was voted that the intervale should be fenced
by the 15th of May the following year, at the expense of the owners of the
lots, and any proprietor neglecting to build his proportion should make
satisfaction. It was also voted that Joseph Tappan should obtain a grindstone
for the common use of the proprietors.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">At this meeting
further action was taken towards building a sawmill. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The year opened auspiciously to the settlers,
for, on January 7th, a daughter was born to Nathaniel Danforth, the first birth
in the plantation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The infant was named Abigail,
grew to womanhood and married Thomas Foss, whose name frequently appears in the
records of the town.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">From the action
taken in regard to the discharge of the bond given by the fifteen who obligated
themselves to build the saw-mill, the evidence is conclusive that the mill had been
created. "Voted that the bonds of the men, which have built the saw mill
will be delivered and to lay out the bonds for building said mill according to
vote as by record."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a
pioneer mill of this section of the Merrimack Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The saw-mills of that period were such as any
carpenter might construct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This mill had
no "nigger" wheel to move the "carriage" back after the saw
had passed through the log; that labor was done by a man treading upon the cogs
of the "ratchet-wheel"--labor exceedingly fatiguing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many years it was the only saw-mill in the
town, and several of the houses now standing on King Street are covered with
boards which were sawn in this first mill.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">THE FIRST FORT--It
was voted that a fort should be erected at the expense of the proprietors, the
enclosure to be one hundred feet square, built of hewn logs, seven feet high
and eight inches thick when hewn, "to be built three feet above the logs
with such stuff as shall be agreed upon by the committee."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From this record it may be inferred that
there was an upper work,--a chevaux-de-frise of pointed, projecting timbers,
designed to prevent the enemy from climbing over the wooden walls, which
undoubtedly were loop-holed for the use of musketry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was voted to locate the fortification on the "school lot."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The probabilities are that it was erected a
few feet south of that lot, near the spot upon which the first framed house was
subsequently erected by Rev. Robie Morrill.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">It being found that
the enclosure was not large enough to accommodate the entire community, another
fortification was erected during the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No record has been preserved in regard to the dimension of the garrison,
but it probably was somewhat smaller, and designed as a retreat for the
settlers on Queen Street in case of sudden surprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the years of <u>trouble with the
Indians</u>, these garrisons served to protect the resolute men, who, during
the most exciting times, when other frontier settlements were abandoned, never
thought of yielding the ground to the foe.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The first attack of
the Indians upon Contoocook was made about 1744, though the exact date is
unknown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josiah Bishop, who was at work
in his field at the lower end of King Street, was surprised by a party of
Indians. They took him into the woods, probably up the rocky hill west of the
lower end of King Street. He made an outcry, and quite likely preferred death
to captivity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As was subsequently
learned from the Indians, he resisted bravely, and they dispatched him with
their tomahawks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The capture naturally
threw the settlement into commotion; but the citizens having located their
homes, determined to defend them. The summer was one of great anxiety. The
families took refuge in the garrisons, while sentinels were ever on the watch
while the citizens were at work.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The chief item of
interest in the call for the annual meeting of the proprietor’s in 1752 was the
erection of a second fort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The meeting
was held May 20th, and the following vote passed:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Voted to raise L200 old
tenor to be laid out in building a garrison or fort & to be built forthwith
and to be set on Samuel Gerrish's lot which was originally laid out unto Richard
Greenough, said fort to be one hundred & ten feet square or otherwise as
the committee shall Judge, allowing said building to cover the land."</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This second fort was
erected on the hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stephen Gerrish, <span style="color: #c00000;">Jacob Flanders</span>, and Richard Jackman were placed in
charge of the work. It is probable that this fortification stood on the site of
the smaller fort, erected during the previous troubles.</span></span></div>

Steven Flanders (a Puritan) is the first recorded Flanders in America. He arrived at Salisbury, Massachusetts before 8 March 1646 - as the first record of him is the birth of his son on that date. He was not in Salisbury in 1640 when a complete list of inhabitants was made.<br />
<br />
It appears that he married Jane Sandusky prior to arriving in Salisbury, and that their daughter, Mary, was born elsewhere. There are no listings on any ships of his name sailing to America, but it is common for people who were escaping the reign of King Charles I to use an assumed name.<br />
<br />
After 1643 more Puritans returned to England than came to America because things had settled down and they were more safe from religious persecution.<br />
<br />
Salisbury was the most northern of the 30 Massachusetts Bay Colonies - located 40 miles along the sea coast above Boston.<br />
<br />
Several documents were signed by Steven Flanders, and he would not have been allowed to sign documents unless he was a Puritan. Some were church documents and also the Oath of Fidelity to Cromwell's Puritan Commonwealth in 1651, 2 years after the beheading of King Charles.<br />
<br />
18 February 1650 a general meeting was held and Steven Flanders was made a townsman on condition that he constantly keep the town herd of cows. At that time there were only 1300 cattle in New England for a population of 20,000 people, and their value had risen to great heights. After a few years with this responsibility he turned to having a plantation of his own.<br />
<br />
"Pioneers of Massachusetts" (by Pope) lists Stephen Flanders as PLANTER OF THE PLANTATION OF SALISBURY. In those times a man who owned much property outside of a city was termed a "Planter". Steven was not a rich man, but he was steadily a prosperous man, buying and selling real estate until 4 years prior to his death.<br />
<br />
Steven died 27 June 1684, shortly after the death of Jane (19 November 1683). There appears to be a talent for public service in the blood lines of the Flanders family, as four of his descendants were governors of States of Territories, there were Generals in the US army, judges, congressmen and senators, revolutionary patriots, minister to France, secretary of War, etc.<br />
<br />
At his death his estate of about 30 pounds of sterling was divided into 5 pounds for each of his 6 living children - thus he left his children well provided for. He had given a substantial dowry to his daughter Sarah and had set up his 2 oldest sons on separate farms (with cows, horses, swine, sheep, meadowland, pastures).<br />
<br />
Children:<br />
(1) Mary Birthdate and place unknown. Died 4 May 1650 (child)<br />
(2) Stephen Born 6 March 1646. Married Abigail Carter<br />
(3) Mary Born 7 May 1650. Married ________Feavor<br />
(4) Philip Born 14 July 1652. Married Martha Eaton Collins<br />
(5) Sarah Born 5 November 1654. Married John Newhall<br />
(6) Naomi Born 15 December 1656. Married __Darling, (2) Benjamin Eastman<br />
(7) John Born 11 February 1659. Married Elizabeth Sargent<br />
<br />
Child #4, Philip, married Martha Eaton, widow of Benjamin Collins. They had no children of their own but he raised her two sons (John and Benjamin Collins). <span style="background-color: white;">Philip was a huge blessing to each of his siblings throughout the years, as well as a very respected man in the community. Thus, many people were named after him</span> ... thus causing the problem with 5 lines of PHILIP 3RD (grandfather to Collins Eastman Flanders) that can possibly be our genealogy line. I AM LOOKING FOR ANY DOCUMENTATION:<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>There are many mysteries to be solved in the Flanders family history line, and JANE FLANDERS is one of them!</strong></span></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Steven Flanders is the first Flanders listed in America. It is said that the ship that he sailed on towards America sunk before reaching land, and that his wealth and possessions were lost. However, due to him having "spektacles" (eyeglasses), he was known to be of European higher-class and educated. He married a woman named Jane, listed as 'Sandusky Indian', and family stories state that she was an Indian princess. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As early as the late 1500's, the Sandusky tribe lived on the banks of the Sandusky River in Ohio. For some reason the tribe splinteed and went in opposite directions; some to Oklahoma, the rest to New York. The New York tribe was absorbed into the Iriquois tribe. Some of the early missionaries from Jamestown reached that area and took some of the tribe to upper New England to be Christianized. Tradition says that Jane was a Christianized Indian, and this could explain how she would have been in Georgeana, Maine (now known as York) when Steven Flanders arrived to America.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2oP8C3gw2M_fmEmU7BPv1Mx0PqsSP3KtXFFJmP3gn_9BfYdo0MF9MJXL7T-W0pKytUPI401k6Rxit4QonbE_R_u5Iint_2njwjlaRn55CuG17YK6aEojhzhKooPIdrI4g4NCqKrWAif27/s1600/Puritan+Indians.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2oP8C3gw2M_fmEmU7BPv1Mx0PqsSP3KtXFFJmP3gn_9BfYdo0MF9MJXL7T-W0pKytUPI401k6Rxit4QonbE_R_u5Iint_2njwjlaRn55CuG17YK6aEojhzhKooPIdrI4g4NCqKrWAif27/s320/Puritan+Indians.jpg" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">There are several reasons to believe that Jane was an Indian princess. Colonial records indicate that <span style="color: #cc0000;">she had an excellent command of the English language</span><span style="color: black;">, causing questions to arise as to her origins.</span> On the other hand, <span style="color: #cc0000;">she was recorded as being an exceptionally fierce and violent woman</span>, characteristics not usually associated with Puritan female colonists:</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was referred to by colonist William Osgood as “<em><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>a foresworn wretch.”</strong></span></em></span></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">A complaint to Salisbury court brought by Goodwife Flanders against Samuel Gachall and his wife for calling her vile names: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><em>"She and her daughter went into Gachell’s field to see where their cattle had broken in and Goodwife Gachell met them and asked if they had come to steal their corn. I said no, I haue no need of yor corn; then shee said ‘Geet of my ground thou pennycoinquick – I am sheure you are com to stell my corn.’ Shee had a pumkeng in har hand. She held it up & said shee woold staue my hed wth it. Then I said if my Cattell haue stooid your corne your piggs haue stooyd mine wheat. Then shee said ‘Com doun St Donstone to heare how the Deuill lies’ & Likewise good man Gacheall doe often prouocke mee by calling my Children Deuills etc .”</em> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The epithet <em>“pennycoinquick”</em> that Goodwife Gachall hurled at Jane Flanders, when Jane and her daughter allegedly entered the neighbor’s cornfield in search of the Flanders’ cows, is a mystery. It sounds like it could be an Indian word, but could also be some obscure English insult. There was a prison at ”Pennycomequick” near Plymouth, England. “Pennycomequick” comes from</span> the old Celtic name “Pen y cwm coet<em>”</em>, meaning “the head of a wooded valley”, or “Pen y cwm gwyk<em>”</em>, referring to a nearby creek.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">On October 16, 1649, Jane was also brought before the local Court for abusing her husband and neighbors</span>.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt from <em><strong>The Flanders Family: From Europe To America</strong></em> (2nd ed. volume I) by Stephen M. Flanders (2000): <em>“Jane Sandusky, was purported to be of Indian descent. This is a tradition in the family; however, there has never been a tribe of Sandusky Indians in the region of New England which she was found in. However, there has not been enough evidence found to refute it either. </em></span></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em><span style="color: #cc0000;">She had “A ready tongue, together with no hesitancy to use it,</span> and these attributes of hers could not pass unrecorded in a community of Puritans, who tolerated nothing. After reading the old court records, one."</em></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em> </em></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>It was common during that time to press civil charges against individuals who displayed rudeness, aggression, and unkindness. It would make sense for a woman of Indian background to be somewhat wild compared to the Puritans, as well as to struggle with the harsh Puritan code of living. Puritan life would have taken away a more free lifestyle she had previously known. Plus, they had a constant struggle against hardships of deprivations in this new land, as well as cultural and language differences.</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">There was an old GEDCOM listing for a “<span style="color: #cc0000;"><em><strong>Jane ‘Sandusky’, Indian</strong></em></span>”, who married Stephen Flanders, which is documented. It says that she was <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"><em>Iroquois of Sandusky descent</em></span></strong>. It quotes as sources: <em>Eunice Allen, genealogist, Mary Parrish, Genealogy Files of Mary Parish, Columbus, Wisconsin</em> and <em>The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Ancestral File</em>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">According to Henry Howe, an early Ohio historian, the origin and meaning of the name “<strong>Sandusky”</strong> was also a matter of some dispute. However, <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"><em>William Walker, principal Chief of the Sandusky Wyandot tribe living at Upper Sandusky, Ohio in 1835-36</em></span></strong>, claimed that it meant, “at the cold water,” and should be pronounced “San-doos-tee.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Jane “Sandusky” Flanders</strong> died on November 19, 1683 at about age 61 at Salisbury, Massachusetts.</span><br />

(source call #1014414 film, Source M518961 (dates 1826-1885). There are no records of him traveling to Utah with any of the pioneer wagon trains, thus he most likely learned about the Church of Jesus Christ while living in Hawaii and then traveled to Utah from there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Two months later Collins Eastman Flanders was <strong>baptized</strong> a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (a Mormon) on July 17, 1854 by P.B. Lewis in the Salt Lake Temple, SLC, Utah.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> (40 years old)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two years later he received his <strong>patriarchal blessing</strong> on July 30, 1856 in Santaquin, Utah from Isaac Morley (Volume 18, page 32, No. 26). </span><span style="font-size: small;">(42 years old)</span><br />
<br />
One year later he was <strong>ordained</strong> into the 15th Quorum of Seventies on March 9, 1857, by H.W. Mikesell, signed by Joseph Young, President,. By virtue of his office, was called to preach the gospel and officiate in all the ordinances thereof. (Robert Campbell, clerk). From early Church records (Info file 1,750,676) shows Father as Phillip and Mother as Eunice Eastman.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><em><span style="color: #cc0000;">Joseph Smith Flanders</span> (a child age 5, born 1855) is listed on the 1860 census.

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">In gratitude to him, I would like to find family members who are willing to get together, order a headstone for Collins Eastman Flanders's grave! I am truly grateful for his courage to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and to gift us (his posterity) the privilege of the ordinances and teachings of Jesus Christ. If you are not a member and have not received the required ordinances of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, you can learn more here: <a href="http://www.lds.org/">www.lds.org</a> </span><br />
