Notes for Noah Webster: General Notes: Noah Webster is my second cousin, five times removed. Noah is the third great grandson of Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford and Alice Carpenter Bradford. They are my seventh great grandparents. Another family connection can be traced. Miriam Cook is Noah's grandmother through her second marriage, which was to Daniel Webster. Miriam Cook's first husband was Abraham Kellogg, who is my fifth great grand uncle.

Register Report for William Bradford Generation 5 line comes through my father's line that goes from Sharpe to Sharp to Kellogg to Steele to Bradford. Noah is a famous lexicographer. His early attempts produced "American Spelling Book," which became the best-selling book in 1783. Source:Richard Skenkman & Kurt Reiger, "One-Night Stands with AmericanHistory," Perennial - Harper Collins Publishers, 2003, 10 East 53th Street, New York NY 10022, page 17. He published his famous Dictionary, the American Dictionary of the English Language, in 1828, and it has been republished in recent years in its original version. It contained many definitions that included Biblical nomenclature in the descriptions. Most of these newly published versions are found in Bible book stores. Suzanne gave me a copy for Father's Day in 2001, and it is very interesting to browse. Another ancestry interest about Noah is John Webster. His third great grandfather is Gov. John Webster, who was the fifth Governor of Connecticut Colony. This biographical sketch about Noah from the Internet below is enlightening: "Noah Webster was born on October 16, 1758, in the West Division of Hartford. Noah's was an average colonial family. His father farmed and worked as a weaver. His mother worked at home. Noah and his two brothers, Charles and Abraham, helped their father with the farm work.Noah's sisters, Mercy and Jerusha, worked with their mother to keep house and to make food and clothing for the family. "Few people went to college, but Noah loved to learn so his parents let him go to Yale, Connecticut's only college. He left for New Haven in 1774, when he was 16. Noah's years at Yale coincided with the Revolutionary War. Because New Haven had food shortages during this time, many of Noah's classes were held in Glastonbury. "Noah graduated in 1778. He wanted to study law, but his parents could not afford to give him more money for school. So, in order to earn a living, Noah taught school in Glastonbury, Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law. [Additional fact: in 1784 Connecticut started the first law school in America, which graduated Noah Webster] "Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed into one-room schoolhouses with no desks, poor books, and untrained teachers. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books, so in 1783, Noah wrote his own textbook: 'A Grammatical Institute of the English Language.' In 1783 Noah also produced what is considered to be the first dictionary created in the US. Most people called it the 'Blue-backed Speller' because of its blue cover, though it was somewhat limited in comparison to the later publication in 1828. "For 100 years, Noah's book taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time.Ben Franklin used Noah's book to teach his granddaughter to read. "In 1789, Noah married Rebecca Greenleaf. They had eight children. Noah carried raisins and candies in his pockets for the children to enjoy. The Websters lived in New Haven, then moved to Amherst, Massachusetts. There, Noah helped to start Amherst College. Later the family moved back to New Haven. On December 9, 1793 Noah Webster founded New York's first daily newspaper. "When Noah was 43, he started writing the first American dictionary. He did this because Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced and used words differently. He thought that all Americans should speak the same way. He also thought that Americans Page 29 of 182 Tuesday, December 11, 2012 11:29:07 AM
