#2500. Fellows. S. E. C. F., March 20, 1912. The ancestry of Jacob Fellows who married Abigail Sizer is as follows:

William Fellows, born about 1609, in England, died Nov. 29 or 30, 1676, at Ipswich, Mass. Married _____ Ayres.

Children: Isaac, born about 1635; Ephraim, born about 1639; Samuel, died in 1713, supposed to be unmarried; Joseph; Elizabeth; Mary; Abigail, married March 21, 1677, Samuel Ayres; Sarah, born July 26, 1657. Ephraim (2) Fellows, born about 1639, married, first, Mary ___, who died Feb. 23, 1671. He married, second, Anna, daughter of Robert Cross of Salem, Mass. He had two children by his first wife and four by his second, all born at Ipswich. He was a husbandman, and was in King Philip’s War, 1676.

Children: John (3), born about 1668; Ephraim; Mary, died in 1774, married Israel Lathrop, March 2, 1708-9; Elizabeth, born Sept. 14, 1685, married Henry Stevens, Nov. 8, 1716; Amye, married Thomas Stevens; William. John (3) Fellows, born about 1668, died Oct. 20, 1748, married Rachel Varney, Oct. 14, 1692. He was a delegate to the First General Court from Plainfield, Conn., in 1708. His will was made in 1731.

Children: Varney, born March 25, 1694; Isaac (4), born Sept. 1, 1696; Rachel, born Oct. 22, 1698; Abigail, born May 13, 1701, died Sept. 24, 1727, married Samuel Hall, Jan. 4, 1720; John, born March 3, 1703-4; Nathan, born 1706; Mary; Amye. All of these children were born in Plainfield, Conn., except the first one, Varney, who died young at Ipswich.

Isaac (4) Fellows, born Sept. 1, 1696, died Aug. 26, 1755, at Tolland, Conn., married Abigail ___, who died at Tolland, Dec. 1, 1770. Children: Elizabeth, born April 28, 1722; Varney born July 11, 1724; Amos born April 21, 1729; Isaac, born Jan. 8, 1732-3; Jacob. The first four of these children were born at Plainfield. The last child, Jacob (5), was born at Tolland, but the records there do not mention him. He married Phebe Remington Dec. 8, 1757, and I think she died Sept. 25, 1770, and that Jacob must have married again although I have no records of a second marriage. The date of Phebe’s death may be incorrect. The children of Jacob (5) were: Parker, born 1763, served in the Revolution; Priscilla, died Aug. 9, 1777; Jacob, born May 19, 1777; Hiram; John, born Aug. 5, 1785; Lydia. Of these children the first two were probably by his first wife, Phebe Remington, although it may be that she had but one child, Parker, born 1763.

Jacob (6) Fellows married Abigail Sizer and had children: William Linns; Joel; Mary; Sarah.

The record I have of them is imperfect and without dates. Appended to it is the note that Jacob (6) was at one time in Cincinnati, O.

Perhaps A. E. C. F. may be able to tell me something more about this particular Jacob. It may be that the Ohio residence is a mistake, as he says, in his communication, that Jacob lived in Massachusetts and perhaps in New York. Does he know where Jacob died and where he was buried?

I should like information about women bearing the name Fellows. The records which I have are fairly complete, owing to the long industry of their compiler, in the male lines. The daughters have been left with the slight mention of birth and (sometimes) marriage and I am gradually gathering these in also, hoping to add to what Mr. C. S. Fellows has so carefully done.
