| Biography | | Whittier: "The earliest record found of him is his marriage at Haverhill, Mass. He was one of the first settlers of Penacook (Concord), N.H., and was admitted in 5 Feb. 1725. The records show that he spent the winter of 1726 at Concord. In the division of land he drew lots Nos. 6, 8 and 42. He sold a portion of these lots to John Wainwright of Ipswich, Mass., 7 Apr. 1731. He was at Concord as late as 1742, when he married his second wife, who was of Newbury Mass., and it may have been this fact that induced him to return to Newbury. With Sarah Urin, who in the deed is called a spinster, both being of Newbury, he sold land and buildings in Ipswich 11 Apr. 1752 (Essex Deeds, vol 119, p. 39)...He died at Newbury 13 Jan 1776, aged 90 years. His children were baptised at Ipswich."
Noyes: "Richard, ag. 90 in 1776, Boston, Concord (N.H.), Haverhill, Newbury, called eldest s. in Urann gen. (N.E. Reg., 1910), not ment. in div. or deeds, is unplaced; of Haverhill, he was sued in 1717 for a Boston board bill incurred in 1716; more likely an unrec. s. of Francis(4) or s. of an unkn. s. of [William](4)."
McCoy: "Birthdate is based on age at death of 90 years. That would put his birth between 14 jan 1684/85 and 13 jan 1685/86, 10 months before his father's second marriage. On the face of it, this also puts his mother's death somewhere in the same period. However, age at death in town records does not seem very reliable. A search of records in Portsmouth, NH is needed. Because Richard Uran died after 1771, none of his children or grandchildren or grandchildren were involved in the family deed of 1771.
The first record of Richard Uran is his marriage in Haverhill, MA in 1717. By 1725, he was one of the first settlers of Penacook (Concord), NH. He was in Concord the winter of 1726, and drew lots 6, 8, and 42 in the division of land there. At the time of his second marriage in Newbury, 1742, he was still listed as a resident of Concord. After that marriage, he is believed to have remained in Newbury, and died there in 1776. Some of his children were baptized at Ipswich, but James and Jonathan's baptisms have not been located, possibly because the family was then in Concord.
Essex Co., MA deeds, vol. 119, p. 39, shows Richard Urin and Sarah Urin,
spinster, selling land and buildings in Ipswich 11 apr 1752. This transaction needs further study to determine how the land may have been acquired. The later history of this couple needs more investigation. C. C. Whittier missed the record in Newbury of their son Benjamin. Assuming the death record there in 1813 is in fact his, we might expect to find additional deeds or probate records.
The account of his life demonstrates how loosely town boundaries were treated in early records, or else how often families moved from one town to another. The research of C. C. Whittier on the Urann Family of New England was very thorough; however, it is possible that further research will eventually fill in some of the gaps in the wanderings of this family.
Further attention to details of the various land transactions may help establish the death date of his first wife and possibly the second also.
The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire suggests that Richard is not actually the son of John Uran, noting that he is not mentioned in any of the family deeds or divisions, and that he was sued in 1717 at Haverhill for an unpaid board bill incurred in Boston in 1716. However, he does not seem to belong to any other known lineage.
Son Jonathan is accepted here, following C. C. Whittier's suggestion in The Urann Family of New England. No other parentage has been proposed. More information is needed to be sure he really fits."

Descendants of Eleanor, wife of William Urin and Richard Woolcome
Generation No. 3
11. Richard3 Uran (John2, Eleanor1 _____) was born 1686 in Portsmouth, NH?, and died January 13, 1776 in Newbury, MA. He married (1) Mehitable Corliss October 17, 1717 in Haverhill, MA, daughter of John Corliss and Mary Wilford. He married (2) Sarah Flood November 22, 1742 in Newbury, MA.
Notes for Richard Uran:
Birthdate is based on age at death of 90 years. That would put his birth between 14 jan 1684/85 and 13 jan 1685/86, 10 months before his father's second marriage and 19 months before that second wife should have had her first child. On the face of
it, this also puts his mother's death somewhere in the same period. However, age at death in town records does not seem very reliable. A search of records in Portsmouth, NH is needed. Because Richard Uran died after 1771, none of his children or
grandchildren were involved in the family deed of 1771.

Children of Richard Uran and Mehitable Corliss are:
+ 33 i. Mehitable4 Uran, died in Boscawen, NH?.
34 ii. Sarah Uran.
35 iii. James Uran, died April 1753 in Sutton, NH?14.
Notes for James Uran:
This is believed to be the James Uran who signed a petition to the Masonian
proprietors for a charter of Sutton, NH, and who drew lots 78 in the first
division and lot 50 in the second division of that town. The records of
Sutton state he was from Haverhill. Dates of the Sutton transactions need
to be reviewed, as they will establish the latest possible birthdate for him,
as well as the timing of the family's connection to Haverhill.
+ 36 iv. John Uran, died Aft. 1796 in Boscawen, NH?.
+ 37 v. Mary Uran, born Abt. 1725 in Ipswich, MA?; died November 25, 1827 in Bradford, MA.

Child of Richard Uran and Sarah Flood is:
39 i. Benjamin4 Uran, born October 13, 1743 in Newbury, MA15; died February 1813 in Newbury, MA16.
15. Joseph3 Uran (John2, Eleanor1 _____) was born Bef. 1696 in Greenland, NH?17, and died Aft. 1760 in Greenland, NH?18. He married (1) Sarah Perkins September 03, 1716 in Greenland, NH?19. He married (2) Rebecca _____ Bef. 1735 in Greenland, NH.
Notes for Joseph Uran:
On tax lists in Greenland district at Portsmouth, NH first in 1717, suggesting
he was born about 1696. He disappears from the tax lists after 1760. In a
deed dated 29sep1735, with his second wife Rebecca, he sold land in Greenland
"being part of my mother Rebecca Urin's thirds in the estate of my father John
Urin, deceased", thus establishing his parentage. Earlier that year he sold
land in Epsom, NH to Enoch Clark of Greenland. This may have been the Joseph
Youring whose upbringing is mentioned in Eleanor Urin's will in 1699.
Children of Joseph Uran and Rebecca _____ are:
40 i. Marcy4 Uran. She married Ichabod Whitten June 13, 1736 in Greenland, NH?20.
41 ii. Comfort Uran.

16. James3 Uran (John2, Eleanor1 _____) was born Bef. 1700 in Portsmouth, NH, and died Abt. 1761 in Greenland, NH. He married (1) Rebecca _____. He married (2) Hannah Edgerly January 28, 1725 in Greenland, NH?21.
Notes for James Uran:
This family lived in the part of Portsmouth, NH that was set apart as
Greenland. The first book of Greenland records was lost by fire. He was
taxed there at least from 1743 to 1761, which is taken as an indication of
the time of his death. His birth date is estimated by reference to the
baptism of his first child and the fact that he was already married to his
second wife by that time. Perhaps other references can be found in
neighboring towns to further define the dates.
Children of James Uran and Hannah Edgerly are:
49 i. Jeney4 Uran.
+ 50 ii. Elizabeth Uran, died November 20, 1824 in Sandwich, NH?.
+ 51 iii. John Uran, died Aft. 1798 in Berwick, ME?.

17. Eleanor3 Uran (John2, Eleanor1 _____) was born Abt. 1700 in NH. She married (1) Diamond Currier. She married (2) Abraham Crockett April 22, 1735 in Isles of Shoals, NH22.
Notes for Eleanor Uran:
It is likely that Eleanor was born shortly after the death of her grandmother,
widow Eleanor Wilcomb (d. 1699). Eleanor Uran was admitted to the church at
Greenland in 1716. The only record of her children by her first husband,
Diamond Currier, is contained in the will of Nathaniel Lord of Gosport, 03 mar
1725/26. His wife was Elizabeth Diamond, widow of Thomas Currier and mother
of Diamond and Weymouth Currier. Lord gave 10 pounds to Diamond Currier's
son Richard.
Notes for Diamond Currier:
The unusual name is explained by the union of the Diamond and Currier families
of Star Island. His father was Richard Currier, his mother Elizabeth Diamond.
Some effort needs to be made to estimate his birth date, as this would tend to
put a lower limit on the birthdate of his wife Eleanor Uran. Town and church
records on Star Island begin only in 1732, so we are undoubtedly missing the
names of some children. There are so many Currier families in the Star
Island records as to make it impossible to sort them all out.
Child of Eleanor Uran and Diamond Currier is:
57 i. Richard4 Currier, born Bef. 1726.
Children of Eleanor Uran and Abraham Crockett are:
58 i. Elizabeth4 Crockett.
59 ii. Weymouth Crockett.

Notes for William Muchemore:
Celia Thaxter's "Among the Isles of Shoals" (1873) quotes from Gosport town
records (her p. 57) as follows:
"March 12th 1769. A general free voot past amongst the inhabents to cus
[cause] tow men to go to the Rev Mr John Tucke to hear wether he was willing
to take on Quental of fish each man, or to take the price of Quental in ould
tenor which he answered this that he thought it was easier to pay the fish
than the money which he consented to taik the fish for the year insuing."
"On March ye 25 1771, then their was a meating called and it was gurned until
the 23rd day of apirel. -- Mr Deeken William Muchmore, Moderator"
