Wilmington, a brother, Randolph Hoagland of North Plainfield, and 6

On December 19, 1924, Simeon's obituary appeared in the Bound Brook

Jacob married again after the death of Margaretta. On July 21, 1857, he
married Martha Miranda Warriner (March 2, 1832 in Agawam, Mass. - May
26, 1916 age 84.2.23 of arteriosclerosis and chronic myocarditis with
secondary cause of cerebral hemorrhage. She died while living at 143
Cedar street, Springfield, Mass. and is buried in Agawam). They were
married at Agawam, MA by Reverend Ralph Perry. Jacob's residence was
listed as New York and Martha's was Agawam. Martha was the daughter of
Captain Reuel Warriner (January 12, 1787 in West Springfield now Agawam
- June 19, 1854) and Anna Chaffee (May 1793 at Enfield, CT - January 29,
1882 age 88.8- of old age at Agawam). Reuel and Anna married in 1814.

Jacob C. Dutcher was the son of William Dutcher (June 20, 1774 at
Irvington, NY - baptized April 16, 1774 at Tarrytown - June 19, 1843)
and Anna Van Wart (March 24, 1782 at Tarrytown, NY- October 31, 1820).
They were married on January 11, 1801.

Jacob was the minister of the South Bound Brook Reformed Church between

Market Street Church, New York 1863 - 1866; Somers, Conn. (a
Congregational church) 1867 - 1868; Bound Brook 1868 - 1879; U. S.
Consult in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada 1880 - 1887. He was appointed
consul by President Arthur. From the Warriner genealogy: "In the war
times of 1861-5, Dr. Dutcher was a strong supporter of the Union, and
his services on the rostrum were in much demand. He published a number
of works and was a writer of fine literary taste as well as an eloquent
speaker. The children of Dr. Jacob C. and Martha M. Warriner Dutcher
were: Jacob C., born Dec. 18, 1859, died Feb. 6, 1887, and Anna M., born
May 17, 1862, died July 19, 1863." The likeness of Jacob, Martha and
Jacob, Jr. appear in The Warriner Family of New England Origin by Rev.
Edwin Warrine, 1899, pp. 117-118.

In the 1860 census for New York City (ward 9, 1st district p. 150 In the
margins of the census entry was written, ‘53 Barrow'), Jacob C. Dutcher
39 D. R. clergyman, born in NY; Martha 28 born in Mass.; William 14 born
in NJ; Mary 12 born in NY; Simeon 7 born in NJ; Margaretta 4 born in NJ;
Jacob 6/12 born in NY; Mariah Nelson 25 domestic born in Ireland. In
the 1870 census for Franklin Township, Somerset County (p. 84), Jacob C.
Dutcher 49 born in New York a clergyman; Martha M. 38 born in MA; Simon
A. 17 born in NJ; Margaret A. 14 born in NJ; Jacob C. Jr. 10 born in NY;
Jennete Overtes 18 born in Scotland, a domestic servant. In 1880 census
for Red Bank, Monmouth County, Simeon A. 28 born in NJ, Rachel S. 27,
Clinton 7 and Simeon 2. In the 1900 census for South Bound Brook (e.d.
82 p. 14B), Simeon A. Dutcher 9/1852 47 married 27 years, clerk
insurance, owns farm with mortgage; Rachel S. 11/1853 46 had 2 children
2 still living. They were listed immediately after Joseph L. M. Dufour
and family.

Jacob and Martha are buried in Agawam Cemetery with son, Jacob C.
Dutcher, Jr. died in 1887 age 27; and daughter, Anna M. died 1863 age
1. They are buried in section C-12 and D-12. Captain Reule Warriner
and Anna Chaffee are buried with children in section D-1. There is also
a Major Gad Warriner (died 1842 age 84); his wife, Eunice Worthington
(died 1820 age 57); his second wife, Ruth Phelps (died 1846 age 72); and
two children buried in section D-1. They were married prior 1796. Gad
was a major in the Revolutionary War. Elsewhere in the cemetery, there
is a Captain Lewis Warriner (Revolutionary War) and family.

In the Warriner genealogy, "Reuel Warriner is honored by his descendants
as a true Christian gentleman," (p. 115) and "The old homestead is in
excellent repair, standing on land originally granted to William
Warriner as proprietary settler of Springfield." (p. 116). Reuel was
the son of Gad and Eunice; Anna Chaffee was the daughter of William
Chaffee and Mary Whipple.

I could not find any record of Anna Chaffee being born or baptized in
Enfield, CT. [I wrote the churched and an historian from Enfield].
There was a Enfield, MA that was flooded and destroyed in the 1930's to
create an immense reservoir.

In the 1900 census for Springfield, Massachusetts, Martha M. Dutcher
3/1832 68 born in MA; Edward Warriner 9/1869 30 born in PA (no
relationship recorded). She was living at 143 Cedar in Springfield. In
the 1850 census index for Massachusetts there were nearly one dozen
Warriner's listed.

Harry - thank you very much. My family has talked about Hoaglands for so long and finally they show up. My aunt will be so very glad to be vindicated!

Simeon Ayres Dutcher is my GG Uncle. I'm in a direct line down from Reverend Jacob Conklin.

I have some other information about him and I'll try to find time this weekend to transcribe and post it.

Does anyone have any more detail about the Ayres/Ayers connection? I have some info and considerable interest. If there are other interested, let me know and we can pursue it off the Dutcher list.
