Generation No. 1

	1.  John12 SCRIBNER, Sr.  (John11 SCRIVEN, Sir Thomas10, Edward9, Thomas8, Thomas7, Robert6, John5, John4, Reginald3, Richard2, David (Edward)1) was born 1657 in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire1, and died Bef. May 31, 1738 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire2,3.  He married Elizabeth CLOYES Abt. 1688 in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire3,4, daughter of John CLOYES and Mary LONG.  She was born Abt. 1665 in Charlestown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts5, and died Abt. March 02, 1735/36 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire6.

Notes for John SCRIBNER, Sr.:
John and his siblings grew up during the time of one of the most costly struggles the early Colonies ever faced, King Philip's War (1675-1676). Native American Indian tribes had formed a confederation under the leadership of King Philip (also known as Pometacon), chief of the Wapanoags. During this war, one-half of the towns in New England were attacked, and 12 of those towns were completely destroyed. The Colonists banded together and organized a common army (the very earliest predecessor of the U.S. Army) to defend against the Indian attacks. In that force were 527 men from Massachusetts, 315 from Connecticut, and 158 from Plymouth Colony. One of every 16 men was killed, making this the most costly war, percentage-wise, ever fought on American soil.

According to MacKenzie, Colonial Families of the United States of America at 4:449, John was:  "b. circa 1656, Exeter 1689; was on Jury at Portsmouth, 1693-96; where his name appears both as 'Scribner' and 'Scrivener;' his name appears upon the Muster Roll of Captain Gilman in 1710; in Hampton Church, records of 1698, he is marked as dismissed to Church at Exeter; as to his wife, Henry Wadleigh of Exeter gave deed reciting "for the parental love and affection which I have unto my well beloved son and daughter John Scribner, Junr. of Exeter, blacksmith and Sarah his now wife my well beloved daughter."  In 1701, he calls himself of Dover and conveys to Peter Coffin the "Plantation" whereon his father "jno Scribner" lived in Dover.  But, in 1717, he was both a creditor of Estate of Edward Sewall of Exeter and named in the will of Francis Stelle as owning land there."

Apart from these notations, information about the Scribners who lived in Exeter is sketchy and incomplete,owing to the fact that the Exeter Town Hall burned in 1870, destroying most of the Vital Records of the town. What few records remain are bound in a single volume, which is kept at the Exeter Town Office.

We do know that John Scribner was a blacksmith.  In 1685, John Scribner, Sr. sold the Dover plantation on which his father John Scriven had lived.  John and his wife Elizabeth moved from Dover to Exeter in the early months of 1689, after selling the Dover holdings inherited from his father.  The John Scribner who petitioned, along with others, the "Governor and Council of Mass in England for protection by soldiers on 2/20/1689" [see Petition of N.H. Settlers, Massachusetts Archives, Book 35, p. 229; Reprinted in NEHGR 8 (1854) 233] was identified to be the John Scribner discussed in Vol. 8 of the "Webster Family" in the Burton Library, Detroit, Michigan.  This John is also discussed in Sinnett, Scribner Families, at pages 20-144.moved their family from Dover to Exeter, New Hampshire after selling all of John's Dover holdings inherited from his father.  In 1698 -- the same year he moved to Exeter -- John united with the newly-formed Congregational Church at Exeter. He is listed among those who, according to Hampton Church Records, on 11 September 1698, were dismissed from that church "in order to their being incorporated into a church state, in Exeter." Another record lists John as an original member of the Exeter Church. According to that record, Exeter's newly-called Pastor, Rev. John Clark, was to be ordained 21 September 1698. "On the Sunday preceding the ordination a confession of faith and covenant, which had been previously agreed upon, were signed by the following named persons, who were the first members of the first church in Exeter, the organization of which has ever since been maintained" (MEN AND THINGS OF EXETER, SKETCHES FROM THE HISTORY OF AN OLD NEW HAMPSHIRE TOWN [Exeter: The News-Letter Press, 1871], 57).  In 1698 John received 60 acres of land from the Town of Exeter.   In 1709, John purchased land in Exeter from the estate of John Glidden, and land in Kingston from William Long. In 1723, he and seven others (including his son, John, Jr.) purchased land in Exeter from Clement Moody, Jr., which land the seven buyers divided between themselves in 1725 (SCRIBNER NOTES [op. cit.], 5). Then, in 1725, he received another 50 acres of land from the Town (Bell, HISTORY OF EXETER [op. cit.], 141-143). At the same time (12 April 1725), his sons John, Jr., Joseph, Edward and Samuel received grants of land from the Town. As a result of these land purchases, John owned about 200 acres in Kingston, and another large holding of land (which, in his will, he called "My Swamp or Meadow Ground Laying upon the South Side of Exeter River").

John and his son John Jr. are mentioned as part-purchasers of King's Falls Saw Mill in Exeter on 7 August 1723, along with Nathaniel Glidden, Henry Wadleigh, Daniel Ladd and others (N. H. Provincial Deeds, 14:179, quoted by G. W. Chamberlain in his book, THE DESCENDANTS OF CHARLES GLIDDEN OF PORTSMOUTH AND EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE [op. cit.], 77).

We learn the names of John and Elizabeth's children who were living on March 2, 1735/36 from John's will.  In the will he speaks of sons John, Edward, Samuel (already deceased; Samuel's children inherited in his stead) and Joseph (who he named as Executor, supporting a suspicion that Joseph was the oldest), and daughters Elizabeth Moody, Mary Gadon (Gordon), Abigail Young, Susanna Mudget and Sarah Moody.  

Of much interest is the fact that John, Sr. and his siblings chose to change their name from Scriven to Scribner. While we have no recorded explanation of this name-change, some possible reasons follow: 

-->One possibility is that, by continuing to be known as Scrivens, they would forever be linked to the legacy of the disgraced King Charles I, to whom their grandfather, Thomas, had given his loyalty and for whom he had given his life. Add to this the hatred they must have felt toward King Charles' son, Charles II, who was ruler of England when their brother, Edward, was taken from them and impressed into the English Navy, never to be heard from again. 

->Another possibility is that they did not want to be mistaken for the family of the Rev. William Scriven (1629-1713). Rev. Scriven (of no relation to John) was a well-known Baptist minister in New England, especially Boston and Kittery, Maine. The prominent (indeed, state-sponsored) form of religion was Congregationalism (of which John and family were adherents). Rev. Scriven and his followers left New England and moved to South Carolina, where they exercised an incredible formative influence upon Southern Baptists (Noyes, et al, "Genealogical Dictonary of Maine and New Hampshire, p. 615). 

->Yet another possibility is that they strongly felt the need to establish a new identity in this new land of Colonial America.

->Another possibility is that the change was accomplished by an official who simply misspelled the name phonetically as he heard it, as "Scribner" because he was familiar with that name, which was close in sound to "Scriven."

As did his brothers and many of the men of Exeter in those early Colonial days, Edward fought Indians as a soldier serving under Capt. Gilman. He was granted 30 acres of land in Exeter in 1725.

Edward Scribner is mentioned in October 1754 when the selectmen of Brentwood, New Hampshire laid out a road for public use running between Edward Scribner's house [probably this Edward] and John Scribner's "till it come to Edward Scribner Jr.'s land" [probably the son of Edward]. 

Edward had seven children, five of whom lived to maturity [not Abigail or the first John]. All the surviving children settled in Otisfield, Maine except the 2nd John and Samuel who both settled in Waterborough, Maine.  See Sinnett, pages 69-144.

Notes for Susanna SCRIBNER:
