Last month, we were able to purchase 10 documents dating between 1833 and 1850 that show "marriage intentions" between Philbricks and other families from Rye, New Hampshire. Robert Philbrook purchased these rare artifacts on Ebay with funds donated by our members. All 10 of the Philbricks listed on these slips have been identified in our Family tree. At this time however, we do not know of any living direct descendants from these families. Names on the slips are:
Josiah W. Philbrick & Sarah Ann Brown – 1833
Capt. Jonathan Philbrick & Abigail Brown – 1834
Daniel Philbrick & Sarah Ann Philbrick – 1835
Jesse Philbrick & Irena Philbrick – 1836

RYE, NEW HAMPSHIRE – 1805
Rye, New Hampshire lies just north of the town of Hampton, where the Philbrick family settled in the early 1600’s. At the end of the century, Joseph Philbrick3, apparently attempted to settle in Rye, before being granted land there. Parson’s "History of Rye, N.H." states on page 61 & 62:
"The first Philbrick who settled within the present limits of Rye sowed a piece of grain in the field now occupied and on which is erected one or more buildings of the Farragut House, and a party came up from Hampton and burned the grain, calling Philbrick a squatter. He was finally allowed to remain. A writ of summons issued in 1702, directed to the constable of Hampton to bring the body of Joseph Philbrick of Hampton to the court of sessions to be held in Portsmouth. A presentment was made by the grand jury against him for having built a house upon the town's land in Hampton near the house of Francis Jenness."
There are five Philbrick households located on the 1805 map of Rye:
In the far south-east corner of Rye, near the North Hampton border, lived "Deacon Philbrick" who was Ephraim Philbrick6 (Jonathan5, Joses4, Joseph3, James2, Thomas the Emigrant). Ephraim was born in Rye on September 9, 1780 and died there January 24, 1860.
East of Ephraim’s homestead is "J. Philbrick" who is identified as Jonathan Philbrick5, Ephraim’s father. His homestead is found in the possession of his son, Joseph6, on the 1851 map of Rye.
Joses Philbrick6 (Daniel5, Joses4, Joseph3, James2, Thomas the Emigrant) is found in the south-western portion of Rye near "Breakfast Hill." He was born in 1766 and died in 1835. His son John7 is found on the homestead in 1851 according to the map of Rye drawn during that year.
Joseph Philbrick lived in west Rye and is probably Joseph Philbrick5. He died in 1788, but his wife Ann (Towle) and children more than likely continued to reside on the homestead. Joseph’s son Joses6, is probably the Joses mentioned in Parson’s book on page 67: "Joses Philbrick, blacksmith, lived on the north corner near Rand's store, then Colonel Amos S. Parsons and his sons, James M. and Joseph. It is now the residence of Fred D. Parsons." The Parsons do indeed live in the same location when looking at the 1851 Rye map. (Also see page 491 where Joses, son of Joseph, is listed as being a blacksmith.)
"Jonathan Philbrick" lived on what is now Locke Rd. (east of Central Rd.) in Rye. This Jonathan is probably Jonathan Philbrick 6, son of Joses Philbrick5 (Joses4, Joseph3, James2, Thomas the Emigrant). Some of his descendants are found living near by in the 1850 Census for Rye.
1850 New Hampshire Census – Rockingham Co.
The following is a list of Philbricks & Philbrooks who are found in the Rockingham County, New Hampshire Census for 1850 (Including those from Rye!). It is arranged in the following order: Last name, First name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Birth Place, Location that the person is living at in 1850, census page number, Jacob Chapman’s # if identified*, and Notes. Subsequent newsletters will list other 1850 Census records for New Hampshire Counties.
Due to the very large file size (120k) of this table of information, we are putting this data on a seperate page so as to speed the loading of this month's newsletter. Please click on this link to view the 1850 New Hampshire Census Table. |
