362 5 children, 8 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. WEBB, William Simeon (I2077)
 
363 A mariage registry states that George Motyer (widow) married Sarah Thorn.  It has not been verified who his first wife was, and if children exists from this marriage. MOTYER, George (I976)
 
364 A rumour has been in circulation during the past week, starting as such rumours do, from what source no one knows, to the effect that Private A. J. Motyer had been taken prisoner.
It is gratifying to know that his parents have by this mail, received a card from him dated 25th April 1915, saying "Quite well". It would spare much pain & anxiety to those with friends at the seat of war, if more caution was observed in the repeating of unfounded rumours.

365 Abraham BENJAMIN and his twin-brother Raphael BENJAMIN were born in 1755 in London, England.

They also had older twin siblings, Mozes Salomon Zalman SHOCHET and his twin-sister Lea SALOMONS who were born in 1739 in Amsterdam, Holland. 
BENJAMIN, Abraham (I6470)
 
366 According to 1900 Census, he immigrated in 1850. That would put him at age 10, which seems unlikely given that his parents did not immigrate. COOPER, Capt. Adderley McKenna (I4838)
 
367 According to 1900 census, married 3 years. COOPER, Nannie E. (I5303)
 
368 According to 1900 census, married 35 years.  Gave birth to 5 children, of which 3 are living.  Parents both born in Ireland. LOWELL, Rose (I5301)

370 According to Betty Arel's website, Hannah's death date is December 1713, which happens to be the year her son Peter Pride (1713-1796) was born.  Maybe she died giving birth? THISTLE, Hannah (I1866)

380 Alexander (Uncle Alec) was unusual.  He'd walk out the front door, and disappear.  Months later, his mother would receive a postcard, from Japan!  He died in a hospital in New York city (I think in 1966).  He was buried on 22 March 1967.

381 Alexander Samuel COOPER (1871-1962) was intensely interested in family history, and used to recall that there is a record of a Thomas COOPER of Paget in 1662, who owned one of the original shares in Southampton of 24 acres, and four shares in Somerset of 88 acres.  That would match this Thomas COOPER, date-wise. COOPER, Thomas (I1117)
 
382 Alfred is missing from the 1881 England Census with his family, who were living in 1891 in Hammersmith, London, England, so although I have no proof (he could've been visiting relatives at the time), I assume that he wasn't born until after the 1881 England Census. BENJAMIN, Alfred (Confirmed) (I5259)
 
383 ALINE MOTYER
ALINE MOTYER (nee ROSS) On March 12, 2008 after celebrating her 92nd birthday with her family Aline gently passed away. Aline is survived by her husband of 62 years Jack; son John, wife Anita and grandsons, Ryan and James; daughter Sharon, husband Bill Riches and granddaughter Devon; niece Laurie MacCallum, husband Mike Furness, children, Isla and Duncan; numerous nieces and nephews. Born in Norwood and predeceased by parents, George and Mamie; brother Herrick; sister Bee and her husband Bill MacCallum. Aline spent all but five years in Norwood and St. Vital. She was thrilled when Jack retired from Air Canada and they moved back from Montreal. Aline was a long time member of Norwood United Church until their move and later actively volunteered at South Winnipeg YMCA and took part in the Retired Peoples Participaction Club at the Y. Aline was the consummate mom - loving her family above all else making a happy home -wonderful meals and great butter tarts. Aline's health declined late in 2007 and she spent two months at Health Sciences Centre before her recent move to Vista Park Lodge. Like Aline dealt with all things in life, she accepted her illness with grace and dignity, remaining true to herself and appreciative of all those around her. The family thanks everyone that touched Aline's life in her last few months. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Adoption Options who gave her one of her three most precious gifts or to a children's charity of your choice.

389 Although he was a successful businessman and an accomplished athlete in his own right, Whitfield Frederick Hayward— universally known by his boyhood nickname of "Chummy" —  is best remembered as one of the founding fathers of Bermuda's Olympic movement and a philanthropist who supported a wide range of sporting and community causes.

In 1934, at age 22, Hayward, along with fellow swimmers John King and Jim Murray, started the move for Bermuda to enter the Olympic Games for the first time. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) granted approval of the formation of the Bermuda Olympic Committee (now the Bermuda Olympic Association) on February 13, 1936, with leading businessman Sir Howard Trott as its first president.

Bermuda was invited take part in the 11th Olympiad in Berlin, Germany that year when a team of six swimmers— Percy Belvin, John Young, Edmund Cooper, Forster Cooper, Leonard Spence and Dudley Spurling— made history by becoming the first Bermudians to take part in the Olympics.

With Sir Howard's financial help, Hayward arranged for American coach William Brooks to come to Bermuda to train the team and persuaded Spence, a breaststroke world record holder from British Guiana, to live in Bermuda for the required residency period in order that he could compete.

Ceremony


Hayward travelled to Berlin with the team as manager and carried the Bermuda flag at the opening ceremony— a tradition he would continue to uphold at every Olympic Games until 1968, missing only the Melbourne Olympics in 1956. He acted as a swimming timekeeper at the London Games in 1948 and was the head of timekeeping for swimming at the 1952 Games in Helsinki.

He remained committed to the Olympic movement throughout his life. He served as president of the BOA from 1960-1972 and wore a gold ring engraved with the Olympic emblem from 1936 until his death. His office at J. S. Vallis and Co. on Woodlands Road, Pembroke, was a virtual sporting museum, full of Olympic and sporting memorabilia from around the world, along with numerous awards, letters and tributes. Such was his reputation that Jesse Owens, the legendary American athlete whom Hayward had befriended at the Berlin Games, was the guest speaker at a BOA testimonial dinner held in his honour in 1973.

During a four-year tenure as treasurer of the Pan American Sports Organisation, he lobbied successfully for Bermuda to be allowed to enter the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games. In 1973, Hayward was one of three people to receive the Prix de la Reconnaissance Olympique from the IOC for "his activity of favour in sport, of the development of sport in his country, and his contribution to the international sports movement".

Consummate


A consummate networker, Hayward earned a reputation as a skilled and persuasive administrator and did much to foster international sporting exchanges, which he regarded as essential if Bermudian teams and athletes were to improve and compete at an international level. He organised and often personally underwrote numerous tours in and outside of Bermuda for cricket, football, swimming and boxing teams, as well as fairground-style events, often to raise money for local charities.

At age19, he organised the first overseas tour to Canada by the Bermuda Wanderers cricket team, an all-star team of the island's best players, and funded it through a public campaign that listed all the donations daily on the front page of The Royal Gazette. The Wanderers continued to tour until 1984, and in 1985 an over-40s Wanderers team organised by Hayward won the gold medal at the first-ever World Masters Games in Toronto.

Other sporting ventures ranged from his annual Easter Aqua Reviews at the Eagle's Nest Hotel that attracted many of the world's top swimmers, his hosting of the first visit to Bermuda by a water polo team, to boxing events which he persuaded the likes of former world champions Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Emile Griffith and Jersey Joe Walcott to attend.

Hayward was a longtime friend of Gilbert "Gil" Clancy, the legendary boxing trainer and commentator, and financially helped support Clancy's stable of fighters, including Griffith, a world welterweight and middleweight champion. In 1979, Hayward was appointed chairman of the finance commission of the American Confederation of Boxing.

Legendary


Hayward's generosity was legendary and bridged the racial divide. He was supportive of athletes regardless of their race and would frequently dig into his own pockets to help individual athletes travel. In 1978 he provided last minute funding that enabled Bermuda's women's softball team to go to the CAC Games in Colombia where they won the gold medal. In 1976, he set up a $50,000 trust fund to provide ongoing income for the Bermuda Olympic Association.

Hayward was a talented athlete in his own right. A keen swimmer, diver and water polo player, he played football and cricket for BAA (Bermuda Athletic Association), which he joined at the age of 10 and later became its honorary life president. He was also a lifelong member of the New York Athletic Club.

Bermuda cricket historian and journalist Tommy Aitchison rated Hayward and his older brother Jack as among the Island's finest players of their era. A sound wicketkeeper like his father Benjamin, Chummy was a skilled batsman with "a repertoire of fluent and powerful strokes".

He was a founding member of the Bermuda Cricket Board of Control in 1938 and in 1966 was elected to the exclusive MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) at Lord's, the 'home' of world cricket.

Community


Hayward's philanthropy extended to numerous community projects. He introduced Lionism to Bermuda and was a founding member of Hamilton Lions Club, the Island's first Lions Club, in 1946.

In 1980, he was the first Bermudian to be made a Melvin Jones Fellow, the Lions' highest international honour, in recognition of his community work, and was also first recipient of the Joseph Ferreira Achievement Award by Paget Lions Club. Ferreira, a highly respected sports administrator and FIFA (football) referee who died in 1996, had frequently been Hayward's right-hand man in organising many of his sports tours.

Hayward's generosity was funded by a successful business career. A self-made man, he literally rose from the bottom to the top to become managing director of wholesale agency J. S. Vallis & Co. (now Butterfield & Vallis) and a partner of its holding company Vallis & Hayward Ltd. He was instrumental in buying land on Bermudiana Road, Hamilton where the Vallis & Hayward Building and the International Building— also home to the Bermuda Olympic Association— now stand. He was also a director of several major companies, including the Bank of Bermuda, Bermuda Fire & Marine Insurance and Palms Ltd., which ran the popular Forty Thieves nightclub.

Finances


Hayward was born in 1912, the seventh child in a family of six boys and six sisters—  another brother died at one-day-old— born to Benjamin John Alfred Hayward (1862-1926) and Calista Theresa "Callie" Lawrence (1878-1955). Benjamin was a carpenter and architect who owned a lumberyard and had designed and built the wooden part of the original Hamilton Princess Hotel. He had three other children by his first wife Sarah Emma Voisey (d. 1892), but tragically all died before their first birthday from tuberculosis.

Hayward earned the nickname "Chummy" as a three-year-old always playing with his older brothers, who referred to him as a "chummy little fella". His siblings were: Myrtle Louise (1897-1975), Benjamin Harley (1898-1943), Frank Leroy (1901-1974), Jack Alfred (1904- 1967), Edward (died in infancy, 1906), Harold (1907-1970), Margaret (1908-2008), May Irene (1910-2007), William "Will" Richmond (1913-2007), Eunice Louise (1915-1990), Barbara Elizabeth (1918-1989) and Betty Somers (1920- 2010).

With such a large family, finances were tight and when his father died, Chummy was forced to leave Saltus Grammar School at age 14 to find work to help support the family. They lived in Pembroke Villa, a house designed and built by his father, on Langton Hill, and where Hayward was born.

The enterprising young Hayward collected, washed and dried discarded empty rum bottles he found in hedges and fields and returned them to Gosling's for cash. Reluctant to work in his father's sawmill, he went to work for Joseph Vallis, a cousin of his father's, and started off sweeping floors.

Vallis became a mentor to Hayward who rose steadily from office boy to salesman, window display decorator, and eventually managing director as the company grew from a three-man operation to one of Bermuda's largest commission merchants.

Hayward gave many years of public service as a JP and a member of the Public Services Commission (1968-1977). He was elected to the Corporation of Hamilton as a Common Councillor in 1967 and elected as an Alderman in 1979, retiring from office in 1988.

Through friendships made at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952, he acted as the Finnish Consul in Bermuda and was awarded an honorary knighthood by the Finnish president in 1982. His contributions to sport and the community earned him an MBE in 1964, the Jubilee Medal in 1977 in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, and an OBE in 1979.

Married


He was married twice, first from 1931-1936 to Virginia Bird, a member of the DuPont family of the giant American chemical corporation, with whom he had a son, Robert (1933-2007).

He met his second wife, Dorothy Elizabeth Klein (b. July 4, 1917), at the weekly dances at the Hamilton Hotel. Klein, a swimming champion from Philadelphia, had come to Bermuda as a 17-year-old and worked as a waitress and cigarette girl at the Castle Harbour and Bermudiana Hotels as well as performing in water ballets in Hayward's Aqua Reviews.

They married on February 20, 1941 and remained a devoted couple until Chummy's death in 1997. Dorothy— affectionately known as "Dottie"— shared his love of the Olympics and acted as a chaperone at the 1948 and 1952 Games.

The couple had three children— David (b. May 2, 1941), who worked for more than 30 years at Vallis & Co.; Kenneth (b. January 3, 1945), an airline mechanic; and Pamela (b. November 22, 1946), a hairdresser and receptionist, and wife of former policeman Rex Osborne, one of Bermuda's few FIFA-qualified referees. Chummy was also survived by 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Despite Hayward's many achievements, his long-held ambition to build a Sports Hall of Fame to honour Bermuda's athletes remained unfulfilled. In 1978, ground was broken on land next to the Royal Palms Hotel on Rosemont Avenue, Pembroke but the project was abandoned because of complaints by residents.

When the Bermuda Government eventually established a Sports Hall of Fame in 2004, it was fitting that W.F. "Chummy" Hayward was among its first inductees. 
HAYWARD, William “Will” Richmond (I5688)
 
390 Ancestry shows them departing Rotterdam, Netherlands and arriving in London, England on 3 July 1839.  That is impossible, as he died 59 years earlier, in about 1780.

What's more than likely, is that it is a typo, and they in fact arrived in London, England on 3 July 1739 ?

Their first pair of twins, Mozes Salomon Zalman SHOCHET and Lea SALOMONS were born in 1739 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

But that doesn't make sense either, as their next son after their above twins Mozes & Lea, was Marcus Mordechai Salomon Zalman SHOCHET, who was born in 1744 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Their next son, Jacob BENJAMIN (note the surname change) was born in 1750, but I have no idea where.

Next is daughter Mary BENJAMIN, born 23 August 1753, but also no idea where.

Next are their 2nd pair of twins, sons Abraham BENJAMIN and Raphael BENJAMIN, born 1755 in London England.  And all their remaining children were also born in London, England.

So my WAG (wild-ass guess) thinks it would seem that they immigrated from Netherlands to London, England sometime between 1744 (i.e. after the birth of Marcus Mordechai Salomon Zalman SHOCHET) and 1755 (before the birth of twins Abraham BENJAMIN and Raphael BENJAMIN).

And the earlier date of 3 July 1739 ?  Maybe that was just a trip that they took, and the researcher added that particular event to this person just as a travel record? 
SHOCHET, Salomon Zalman Sadock (I6456)
 
391 Anna Maria's grandfather was a boatswain on an English man-of-war, with Admiral Lord Horatio NELSON at Trafalgar.

The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement, fought by the Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French & Spanish Navies, during the War of the Third Coalition (August 1805 - December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815).

394 Arthur John MOTYER was a Rhodes scholar in Mathematics at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. He did 3 years in Physics at Oxford University in England, and graduate work in Engineering & Electrical at McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Trained in England. During the WW-I, he was a communications expert, and was helping lay the telephone wire down on top of a wall. He was shot, and a Red Cross man went up on the wall to rescue Arthur. He too was shot and killed. In the mean time, another man went up and brought both bodies down. MOTYER, Lt. Arthur John (I155)
 
395 As published in The Royal Gazette on 12 Apr 1887 in the City of Hamilton, Pembroke Parish, Bermuda.

A Catholic Priest officiates at the house, and a P.E. Clergyman at the grave.

The funeral of M. A. Scopinich, interpreter at the post office, took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from his late residence, 1806 Aisquith Street, and was numerously attended, especially by his fellow-clerks in the post office, who, along with other friends, sent beautiful floral offerings.

The religious services at the house were conducted by Rev. J. L. Andries, of St. Leo's Catholic Church, who read the office for the dead, and at the grave Rev. J. H. Logie, of Holy Innocents' P. E. Church, read the Episcopal service, Mrs. Scopinich being a member of that church.

The pall-bearers were: G. W. Warefield and F. C. Nicodemus of the post office; L. Neudecker, S. F. Foster, A. Cutino and A. Schlaffino.

Stewart & Mowen were the undertakers.

405 Bernard came from Dorcester, England.  His wife Joan came to America with some of their children and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts.  His name first appeared with land bought on 4 August 1633.  He died on this property in 1638, at age 76.  His house was still in existence in 1928, although it was moved to Milton in 1909 and set up on a hill.  His gravestone, in pieces, was later kept at the New England Historic Genealogy Room in Boston.  The old "North Burying Ground" in Dorchester has what is referred to as "Capen Row", with Bernard and many of his children and descendants buried there.

Barnard was born in 1562, and was 76 years old when he was granted land in Dorchester, Massachusetts.  His gravestone in the New England Geneological and Historical Society in Boston is believed to be the oldest in this country.  His house is still standing, after having been moved from Dorchester to Milton in the 1920's.

416 Both Bert and Edith were cremated and their ashes were spread over the bluff on there farm that they loved dearly.  The farm was owned by Bert and Edith for over 25 years and was just outside Caroline, Alberta, Canada.

Many memories abound in the family about the adventures that occured at the farm, but due to circumstances the 1/4 section was sold after Bert and Edith's deaths.

Memorial plaques have been placed on the Motyer headstone in Queen's Park Cemetary, Calgary, Alberta.  Original headstone has the names of Bert's parents Henry George MOTYER and Rose Emma NETHERCOTT.

418 Brunswick was first settled by Thomas Purchas some time previous to 1628. His later dwelling appears to have been on Stevens's or New Meadow River, near the head of sloop navigation. He engaged extensively in the salmon and sturgeon fishing on the Androscoggin River, having a fish-house between the falls and "The Landing" at Brunswick village, and another at Lisbon Falls. The one in Brunswick was of stone. In this business he was associated with a London house. He also engaged in trade with the Indians. Before the breaking out of the first Indian war, in 1675, he had become a large producer of corn; and, after the flight of his family, the crews of a sloop and a boat, which had come to his store-house on the shore of New Meadows River to carry away the corn, were attacked by the Indians while loading. In 1631 he married Mary Gove, said to he the cousin of Sir Christopher Gardner, who was for some years in Massachusetts and Maine as the agent of Gorges. Gardner was sent back to England by the Massachusetts authorities in 1631 on charges which were not sustained. Within two years he was again in New England, spending a part of the time with Purchas, at Pejepscot. it appears that the patent of land on the Androscoggin to Thomas Purchas and George Way was issued during Gardner's presence in England. This tract was four miles square on the river Pejepscot toward the sea. In 1636-8 Purchas was one of the councillors in Gorges' government of Maine. In 1639, fearing the Indians, he placed himself under the protection of the Massachusetts Bay government. In 1654 he submitted to the New Plymouth government on the Kennebec, and was one of the two assistant councillors and justices under that government in that part of Maine. In 1663-4 he was one of Archdale's justices under the King's commissioners. At the date of his first marriage he was about fifty years of age. His second wife was Elizabeth Williams of Essex County, Massachusetts. He died in Salem in 1676, aged 101 years, leaving four children. His heirs sold his share in the patent (except a certain reserve near the present village of Brunswick) to Richard Wharton, a merchant of Boston. Wharton also purchased Mericoneag Peninsula (Harpswell) of the Indians. He soon after purchased of Warumbee and other Androscoggin chieftains a quit claim of the territory four miles on each side of the river to the Twenty-Mile Falls, now Lewiston Falls. From Wharton, the patent and the purchase from the Indians passed into the hands of a number of gentlemen (mostly residing in Boston) who associated themselves under the name of the Pejepscot Proprietors; and from these and General Waldo, who had purchased the reserve of the Purchas heirs, the present titles are derived. PURCHASE, Thomas (I5599)
