Lydia Buffum

b. 17 October 1787, d. 8 September 1833
Birth*17 October 1787Lydia Buffum was born on 17 October 1787 in Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island.1 
Marriage*1 July 1813Lydia Buffum married Samuel Shove, son of Josiah Shove and Joanna Dow, on 1 July 1813 in Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island. Following their marriage, they lived for a short time in Union Village, Rhode Island and in 1814, moved to Woonsocket, Providence County, Rhode Island and lived, as reported in 1874, "where the Woonsocket Hotel is now."2,3,4,1 
Residence1815 Just about a year after moving his family to Woonsocket, in 1815, Samuel had a terrible work accident that caused the loss of his left arm. He had run the belt off the woolen picker, and was picking a loose piece of wool from the front, when the teeth caught the back of his hand and tore the flesh from his arm, injuring the bone enough to require amputation just below the elbow. The surgery was performed by a carpenter with one of his saws under the supervision of a village doctor. The awkward manner of the operation caused, upon healing, the end of the bone to be exposed for nearly an inch and to correct it, Samuel was required to journey to Boston, for the nearest surgeon. The flesh was again opened and the bone once more sawed off.4 
Residencebetween 1820 and 1825About the year 1820, Samuel purchased what, in 1874, had become known as the "Ephraim Coe farm" in Woonsocket, Providence County, Rhode Island, and lived there with his family until 1825 when they moved to Providence.4 
Residencebetween 1825 and 1840Around 1825, Lydia (Buffum) Shove and Samuel Shove moved to Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, where Lydia died in 1835 and the rest of the family continued to live for the next six years. Most of their sixteen years in Providence, they lived in a double brick house on Benefit Street between College and Waterman streets, and Samuel was a charming host to all who visited, extending his hospitalities largely to visiting members of the Society of Friends and his many business associates. All who came under his roof were welcomed heartily and entertained liberally.

In Providence, Samuel was very active within the community. He was one of the first directors of the Globe Bank, organized in 1831, with William Sprague as President, and John R. Bartlett as cashier, and also for some years was a director in the American Insurance Company.

In politics, Samuel was an active and devoted member of the Whig Party, which was formed in 1832 to oppose the policies of President Andrew Jackson and the Democratic Party. In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the Executive Branch and favored a program of modernization and economic development.

The Party's name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of the 1770s who fought for independence, and the Whig Party included among its members such national political personalities as Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison, and their greatest leader, Henry Clay of Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also counted four war heroes among its ranks, including Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. Its Illinois leader was Abraham Lincoln.

In its 26-year existence, the Whig Party saw two of its candidates elected President of the United States -- Harrison and Taylor -- and saw both of them die in office. Four months after succeeding Harrison, Whig President John Tyler was expelled from the Party, and Millard Fillmore, Taylor's Vice President, was the last Whig to hold the nation's highest office.

The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. Deep fissures in the membership on this question led the party to run Winfield Scott over its own incumbent President Fillmore in the presidential election of 1852. The Whig Party never elected another President. Its leaders quit politics (as Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. By 1856 the Party had ceased operations and the voter base defected in a variety of different directions. Samuel, in Illinois, followed Lincoln, and gave his hearty allegiance to the Republican Party at its first formation. He retained an intelligent interest in, and supported its activities, up to the last moment of his life. He believed strongly in the value of homeland business and "made in the USA" merchandise, and throughout his entire career lost no opportunity to defend that principle whenever and wherever he found the opportunity.

He had a clear head and sound judgment and never failed to give good counsel to all who sought it of him. His son, Josiah, wrote that Samuel Shove "led a very active life mentally and physically, and his ruling aim seemed to be to do whatsoever came to his hand with all his might, deeming all honest work honorable, and only scorning to eat the bread of idleness or of dishonesty."4,5 
Census 18301 June 1830Lydia (Buffum) Shove was likely enumerated on the 1830 census in the household of her husband Samuel Shove in East Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. There were seven members of the household, including one male aged 5-10 (Josiah), one male aged 15-20 (William), one male aged 40-50 (Samuel), one female aged 5-10 (Nancy), one female aged 10-15 (Hannah), one female aged 20-30 (likely a servant) and one female aged 40-50 (Lydia).6 
Death*8 September 1833Lydia (Buffum) Shove died on 8 September 1833 in Providence County, Rhode Island, at age 45, although the Buffum Family source cited her date of death as 3 Sep 1835.2,7,1 
Burial*She was buried, according to her son Josiah, in Quaker Burial Ground, Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Cemetery Project database, however, has listed two burial places for her. It is believed that she may have been buried originally in the old Friends Burying Ground, as described by Josiah and since relocated, and then moved to Union Cemetery in North Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island.7,4

(Uncle) Marriage Settlement15 September 1817 On 15 September 1817 James Ellis of Summerhill, County Meath, and his bride-to-be, Mary Anne Martha Hinds, spinster of Portland Place in the City and County of Dublin, were participants in a Memorial Deed of Marriage Settlement agreement. John Cade was mentioned in the agreement and identified as James' uncle, his mother's sister. Others participating in the settlement included Jane Hinds of Portland Place, Dublin, a widow and the mother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, Walter Thomas Hinds Esq., also of Portland Place, Dublin, the son of Jane Hinds and brother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds and William Smith Esq. of Laracor in the County of Meath.

The Memorial deed recited that a marriage had been agreed upon and was soon intended to occur between James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds and that James Ellis was entitled under the will of his uncle John Cade late of Ledden Hall Street in the City of London, a Merchant deceased, to the sum of £700 payable upon the death of his mother, Mary Cade, otherwise Ellis, and that that sum was at that time invested at 4 percent compounding in the Bank of Ireland in the name of John Robinson of Ledden Hall Street, a Merchant, as a Trustee for James and his mother. It further recited that Jane Hinds, the mother of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, had agreed to give her daughter a fortune of £500 and that it had been agreed by James Ellis, Mary Anne Martha Hinds and Jane Hinds upon the surety of the intended marriage that the sum of £700 should be assigned to and vested with Walter Thomas Hinds Esq. and William Smith Esq. and that the sum of £500 should be paid to Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith as Trustees for the specific intents and purposes outlined in the agreement.

James Ellis, in consideration of the marriage, had agreed that Mary Anne Martha Hinds, in case she should survive him after their marriage had been solemnized, should have, hold and enjoy during the term of her natural life all the Estate, Real, freehold and personal, he owned or was entitled to at the time of his death. Jane Hinds, with the agreement of James Ellis, had already paid to Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith, as Trustees, her portion of £500 and it was therefore established that James Ellis and Jane Hinds had each vested their sums of £700 and £500 with the Trustees for the following Trusts: the sum of £700 in Trust for James Ellis, his Executors, Administrators and assigns until the said intended marriage should be duly had and solemnized; and the sum of £500 held in trust for Jane Hinds, her Executors, Administrators and assigns until the intended marriage should be dully had and solemnized. Then, from and immediately after the solemnization of the intended marriage, the two sums of £700 and £500, with Walter Thomas Hinds and William Smith as Trustees, and the survivor of them, and the heirs, Executors, Administrators and assigns of such survivor, were to invest the sum of five hundred pounds in Government or other good and rated security with the prior written approval of James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, and that they were to permit James Ellis and his assigns during the time of his natural Life to have, receive and take for his own proper use and behalf all the dividends, interest and other profits which should during his natural life accrue, arise, be made by or from the two sums of £700 and £500 or any portion of them and from and immediately after the death of James Ellis, in case Mary Anne Martha Hinds should survive her husband, the Trustees were to permit Mary Anne Martha Hinds and her assigns during her natural Life to receive and take for her own use, all the dividends interest and other profits which should during her life accrue, arise or be made by or from the two sums of £700 and £500 or any portion of them.

After the deaths of both James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, the Trustees, heirs, Executors, Administrators and assigns were to transfer, assign, pay, apply or dispose of all the several sums or parcels of stock and all the dividends, interest and other profits thereof to each and every of the sons and daughters lawfully to be begotten of James Ellis upon the body of Martha Hinds and the children of such sons or daughters in case any of them should be then dead leaving issue in equal shares and proportions, and if but one, wholly to that one. But the child or children of such sons or daughters as should then happen to be dead, should be entitled only to the share which his, her or their Father and Mother would have been entitled to if living; equally to be divided amongst such children if there be more than one and if but one, wholly to that one. In case Mary Anne Martha Hinds should survive James Ellis, and should not have any issue of their marriage living at the time of his death, or that having issue or being pregnant and that such issue should die unmarried in the lifetime of Mary Anne Martha Hinds, the Trustees, or the survivor of them, their or either of their Executors, Administrators or assigns were to transfer, assign and pay over to Mary Anne Martha Hinds or her assigns the several sums of money or stock and all the dividends, interest and other profits thereof, and of any part thereof, to her for her sole and separate use forever growing, arising or accruing from or out of the properties involved for and during the term of her natural life.

Following her death, and from and after the determination of the marriage settlement Estate then in Trust, the trustees were to pay, apply, dispose and divide the Estate in such manner as James Ellis should have directed, limited or appointed in writing, by his last will and Testament. Or, for want of such appointment, then the several sums of £700 and £500 were to descend to the next of kin of James Ellis, and if that were the case, the deed contained a Covenant permitting the Trustees, with the consent of James Ellis and Mary Anne Martha Hinds, to invest the several sums in other Securities to accrue to the Trustees and the deed also contained a clause that one Trustee should not be answerable for the act of the other.

The deed together with the memorial was witnessed, signed, sealed and delivered by James Ellis and Jane Hinds in the presence of William Wildrige and George Canall. William Wildrige, under oath, stated that he was a witness to the deed of which the above writing was intended to be a memorial and saw the same duly executed by James Ellis, Mary Anne Martha Hinds, Jane Hinds and Walter Thomas Hinds and also saw the above Memorial duly executed by the above named James Ellis and Jane Hinds and that he, William Wildrige, as a witness to the deed and memorial verified the participants' names and handwriting and stated he delivered the deed and Memorial to Francis Armstrong Esq., Deputy Register, at the Four Courts, Dublin at or near the hour of 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th day of September Inst. Sworn by William Wildrige this 15th day of Sept 1817, and signed by Francis Armstrong DR.1

Marriage*between January 1760 and February 1760Esther Cannon married Ralph Hinds Esquire of Old Castle, County Meath, Ireland, son of Walter Hinds (1703-1777) of Corrakane and Martha Faris, between January 1760 and February 1760. The couple had at least ten children, whose order of birth has not yet been learned.1,2 
(Heir) Will10 May 1794Esther's husband, Ralph Hinds (1741-1794) of Mulhussey of Kimmins Mill, County Meath, Ireland, left a will dated 15 Apr 1794 and proved on 10 May 1794. His estate was quite large. He named eighteen beneficiaries, including Walter Hinds (The Missing Link), Ralph Hinds, Walter Hinds of Bruce Hall, Anne Hinds, Richard Stephens, Esther Hinds, Matthew Hinds, Thomas Hinds, Alexander Hinds, Mary Walsh, Michael Walsh, Clarissa Stephens, Martha Matthews, Eleanor Smith, Hester Dunn, Hester Stephens, Clarissa Stephens and Mary Anne Stephens. It appears from reading the will that he put much of his estate into a trust or series of trusts, with Thomas Berry and Alexander Berry as trustees, for the purpose of perpetuating the Hinds legacy for eternity. The order of succession was designed to be (1) Walter Hinds, eldest son; (2) Ralph Hinds, fourth son; (3) Walter Hinds, nephew and son-in-law, husband of daughter Anne Hinds; and (4) Richard Stephens, his grandson. It is not known if any of his four sons had any sons when their father died or what became of all the property bequeathed in Ralph's will. It is known that his fourth son, Ralph, ultimately received at least the towns and lands of Mulhussey, Kimmins Mill and Mulalvey in the County of Meath, had no male issue, and so impoverished himself that he lost all his property except an annuity secured on the lands of Mulhussey.

To his wife Esther Hinds, during the term of her natural life, Ralph directed that his trustees pay £40 a year, over and above all taxes, from the lands and premises held in trust and instructed that this payment be their first priority, and made quarterly on every first day of May, August, November and February in every year. This payment was to be made in lieu of all "Dower or Thirds" which she may have had a claim to at Common law or out of his lands, tenements or Premises which could be seized for any estate of inheritance (taxes?). And he further directed that his wife, within the space of six calendar months after his death, execute such a release of all dower and Title of Dower and Thirds at Common law which she could or might be entitled to and to any lands and premises of the estate that could or might be seized in order to protect them for the line of succession described earlier in the will. Ralph's will provided that should Esther refuse to execute such a release within the term described, then any gift or bequest to and for her own use and benefit was to cease and become void. Further, the will gave Walter, "or such person as be seized," of said Premises the power by Mortgage or otherwise to encumber the lands of Currakane, Kilamainham, Clonmuet and Cunarde as a provision for younger children which he or they may have with sum or sums of money not exceeding one thousand pounds.

Again, regarding the £40 a year payable to his wife, Esther, from the lands of Currakane, Kilemainham, Clenmuet and Curraide, Ralph's will stated that in case the amount should not be paid upon the days respectively before mentioned or within twenty-one days after each of said days of payment shall be passed, that then and in such case Esther Hinds and her assigns would have liberty to enter upon any part of those lands and distrain (seize for payment of the debt) the same lands for her Jointure (the arrangement by which a man sets aside property for the support of his wife after his death; the property so designated) as the same shall become due and the distress and distresses and then there found to dispose of according to law in full satisfaction of the said jointure and all arrears thereof and all costs attending the recovery thereof.

He also bequeathed to his wife Esther the sum of three hundred and nine pounds with all interest due thereon by her brother Mathew Cannon by Bills of Exchange of his Endorsement bearing date on or about the _(blank)_day of _(blank)_. His will also directed his Executors to recover the debt by suit or otherwise as soon after his death as convenient and to pay the full amount all interest to his wife Esther Hinds.

Also to Esther, he gave the use of all his household furniture, Carriage and two Horses during her natural life or so long as she should continue to live with her children.

After the death of Esther, the carriage, horses and household furniture were instructed to go to his son Ralph.1
