Chloe Taft (1785-1826)

EZRA TAFT BENSON’S ANCESTRY

This posting covers the ancestry of Chloe Taft (1785-1826), mother of the Mormon pioneer Ezra Taft Benson. This line contains some unusual and challenging problems. A few comments about how some of the decisions were made might be instructive.

This Mormon Pioneer Genealogy Library website claims to be dedicated to the best scholarship in genealogy, to be the source for reliable scholarly genealogy. What does that mean? What is scholarship? Scholarship is the opposite of groupthink, of following the crowd or some authority without asking questions. Scholarship is not only being open to a different viewpoint, but actively looking for a different claim or viewpoint.

How does this approach apply to the problems on the Chloe Taft ancestry? Everyone agrees that the parents of Chloe Taft are Eastman (Easman) Taft (1763-1829) and a distant cousin Hannah Taft (?-1832). The first disagreement is over the birthdate and parentage of Hannah Taft. For decades LDS sources, including the Archive family group sheets in the 1960s and the Ancestral File in the 1990s, agreed that Hannah was born 1 Nov 1763, the daughter of Jesse Taft and Lydia Sibley. This claim was also published in the original Mormon Pioneer Genealogy Library in 1982, based on the best LDS work available at the time.

As we search the internet for a contrary claim, we search on google Eastman Taft Hannah Taft. Four sites on the first page (familytreemaker.genealogy.com, familycentral.net, myheritage.com, and geni.com) address the birthdate and parentage of Hannah, and all agree her parents are Jesse and Lydia, as long-claimed above. We could end our challenge here and be satisfied, but we keep digging. The fifth site that addresses Hannah’s parentage (whipplephoto.com), on the second page, claims she was born 12 Mar 1764, the daughter of Joseph Taft and Elizabeth Cummings. No documentation is provided, nor does any site in the first five google results pages provide any credible documentation for either claim. We keep digging.

We search on google Chloe Taft 7 Jul 1785. Near the bottom of the first page we discover a freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com site (Thomas Taft GEDCOM submitted by Pat Allen in 2002) that is comprehensive and well-documented. This GEDCOM is extracted from a 1999 Taft Family Association web page, which we accept as the best authoritative source on the American Taft family today. This source confirms that the correct Hannah Taft was born 12 Mar 1764 and that her parents were Joseph Taft (born 15 Jan 1723-24) and Elizabeth Cummings. Further searching on this site provides, to us, the clincher. The unusual name Ezra Taft appears only in this branch of the American Taft family. The first Ezra Taft (born 15 Apr 1731), who probably died young, was a younger brother of Joseph (born 15 Jan 1723-24) above. Joseph named a son Ezra (born 22 Dec 1752), who died unmarried. Finally, Hannah Taft (born 12 Mar 1764) named a son Ezra (born 6 Mar 1793), who also died unmarried. So Chloe Taft had a younger brother, an uncle and a great-uncle all named Ezra, clearly the origin of the name Ezra Taft Benson. It should be noted that there are many conflicting rootsweb.ancestry.com pages from different submitters and that another rootsweb page wrongly identifies Hannah Taft’s parents as Jesse Taft and Lydia Sibley. It should also be noted that the etb.bensonfamily.org site still gives the same old incorrect claim (Jesse and Lydia).

The latest LDS FamilySearch Family Tree (9 Mar 2015) correctly gives Hannah Taft’s birthdate as 12 Mar 1764 but inexplicably gives her the wrong parentage—Joseph Taft (born 19 Apr 1722) and Elizabeth Thayer—and wrong ancestry. This different Joseph Taft and Elizabeth Thayer had eleven children but no daughter Hannah. The Hannah Taft born 1 Nov 1763 (daughter of Jesse and Lydia) married Benjamin Murdock and had six Murdock children.

All three Taft families claimed above as parents of the Hannah Taft who married Eastman Taft are sorted out and well-documented in several excellent GEDCOMs posted by Pat Allen in 2002, on the rootsweb site mentioned above. It is unusual to have two Hannah Tafts born only a year or two apart in the same town (Uxbridge, MA) and two Joseph Tafts born only a year or two apart who are both married to a wife Elizabeth and having children at the same time in that same town.

None of the sites mentioned above give a birthdate or parentage for Elizabeth Cummings, who we have now established as the maternal grandmother of Chloe Taft. When we search on google Joseph Taft Elizabeth Cummings, we discover a 609-page book by John William Linzee on books.google.com that was published almost a century ago but is still recognized today by scholars as a model of genealogical scholarship. In addressing the ancestry of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles, Linzee includes a lengthy discussion on pages 166-173 about the identity of a Samuel Cummings who is the brother of one of his ancestors. We have concluded that this Samuel Cummings (chr. 23 Apr 1710 in Groton, MA), son of Thomas Cummings (1658) and Sarah Warner, is probably the same Samuel who died in Uxbridge on 13 May 1758 and is proven by his will to be the father of the Elizabeth Cummings who married Joseph Taft.

Genealogy has never been an exact science. The above identification of Elizabeth’s father Samuel Cummings is complicated by the fact that a second Samuel Cummings was born 6 Mar 1709 in Groton, son of Samuel Cummings (1684-1718) and Elizabeth Shed. We have concluded that this second Samuel was probably the Samuel who died 18 Jan 1772 in Hollis, NH where his brother Jerahmael lived. We have also had to reject a third possible Samuel postulated by Linzee. A Samuel Cummings Sr. and a Samuel Cummings Jr. were exchanging land in New Sherborn (now Douglas), MA in 1735. We accept this Samuel Sr. as probably the Samuel born 28 Dec 1677, making him an uncle of our first Samuel chr. 23 Apr 1710, the probable Samuel Jr. No evidence has surfaced in the hundred years since Linzee that the 1677 Samuel married or had children, so to us the speculation of a son Samuel is not credible. Linzee himself acknowledged that the Samuel Sr. might be an uncle.

Another problem is the mother of Elizabeth Cummings, tentatively accepted here as Sarah Robbins, following Linzee. Sarah, the first known wife of Samuel, apparently had three children in less than two years before she died, unless there was an earlier unknown wife.

Chloe Taft has numerous colonial ancestors treated in the NEHGS Great Migration study project, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, and The American Genealogist. These and other scholarly works need to be consulted by any serious genealogist when working on New England lines.

Is all of this too much work? The human tendency to seek quick and easy answers does not breed scholarship or accurate genealogy. The problem is compounded in the LDS community by many who have no real interest in genealogy but think they can fulfill some supposed duty or gain entry to heaven by quickly finding a name to take to the temple. Hard work and sacrifice is required to achieve any worthwhile goal. The LDS community is not well-served by a reputation of not caring about scholarship. A different reputation has to be earned.
