• Notes

  "Deacon" John married Martha, daughter of Justice James McKeen, or McKean (the latter born 1665, at Ballymony, County Antrim, Ireland), and of his wife Annis Cargill. Justice McKeen was son of William McKeen "ye soldier," who fled from Scotland to Ireland, and founded the Scotch Colony of Ulster County, Ireland. "He testified before Claverhouse, about the murder of Archbishop Sharp." He was a staunch Protestant, and took part in the defense of Londonderry, Ireland, in 1688-9. Deacon John Dinsmore died July 23, 1793. He and his wife Martha McKeen had a large family, and their eldest son, Hon. Silas Dinsmoor (he preferred this manner of spelling his name) was a brilliant, handsome man, engaged in political life in Washington during President Jackson's Administration. His younger brother William was born in Londonderry, N. H., April 18, 1787. He moved to Charlestown, Mass., for business affairs, and married September 15, 1803, Katherine, daughter of Gawen Brown, and wife Elizabeth Hill, and lived in Boston, where his children were born.
