FIRST GENERATION
1.
Corporal James Stirling RW1,2 was born about 1746. He immigrated about 1750 to Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut. He served in the military on August 27, 1776 in Battle of Long Island, New York.3 DAR Patriot_ID=695426 He appeared on the census in 1790 in Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut.4 He died on July 13, 1829 in Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut.5 He had an estate probated on March 25, 1831 in Litchfield, Litchfield, Connecticut.6,7 James Stirling was born about 1747. In Asa Bonney's Account books, this James was listed as James Sterling, Jr. He immigrated about 1750 to Colonies. He owned James Sterling Farm between 1767 and 1829 in Goshen, Litchfield, Connecticut.
In Edward Star's History of Cornwall, Page 252 - Road to Goshen past James Sterling's and Sam Hillhouse's through College Farms to meet a road in Goshen. Pg. 243 - 1803 - Also road approved through Thomas
Sterling's land.
This pretty much pinpoints where James Sterling farm was: In Goshen 9/10 of a mile before the Cornwall line, a road runs west toward Mohawk Mt. and this road is Allyn Rd. As it approaches the
Mountain and goes over the Cornwall line this becomes Mohawk Mountain Road. It was in this area as far as I can determine, the College Farms was located -- That was land set aside by the state for Yale College when
the lands were parceled off.

NOTE:
This is the last mention of James Sterling on a commitee in the Cornwall town meeting notes. James served with many interesting people over the years, namely General Herman Swift, Major John Sedgwick, and Daniel
Allen, who was related to Ethan Allen. He appeared on the census in 1810 in Cornwall, Litchfield , Connecticut.
Enumeration was 1 male 16-26 years, 1 male over age 45, 2 females under ten years of age , 2 f
emales age 16-26, and one female age 45 and over. James surname was listed as "Stirling " on this census. He appeared on the census in 1820 in Cornwall, Litchfield , Connecticut.
James
"Sterling" (he was listed as James Stirling on the 1800, and 1810 census) had the following free white males at home 1- age 16-26, 1 age 26-45, 1 - age 45 and over. Free white fema les 1- age 10-16, 1- age
26-45, 1- age 45 and over. In addition three were enumerated in " Agriculture". He died on 13 Jul 1829 in Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut. He had an estate probated on 25 Mar 1831 in Litchfield,
Litchfield, Connecticut. He has Ancestral File number 1J85 -3M3.
James Sterling married in Cornwall, Conn., June 28, 1767, Hannah May, dau. of Edward May of Cornwall. James Sterling, although a Quaker,
enlisted at Cornwall in Jun 1776 , as a member of Capt. Roger's company, in the 2d Battalion, Wadsworth's Brigade, raised under an act of the Legislature to reinforce Washington at New York City.
The
battalion served on the Brooklyn front a few days before and during the Battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, 1776 and was in the retreat from New York, Aug. 29 and 30.
It was stationed at New York under General Putnam and narrowly escaped capture and they retreated from the city , Se pt. 15. They were posted on Harlem (Washington) heights until the Battle of White Plain s, Oc t. 28, 1776, un chich the battalion was engaged and suffered some loss. James was must ered o ut with the company, Dec 25, 1776, and returned to his home.
It has also been reported that James may have served his country in the battle of Trenton.
When asked if he ever killed a man in battle he said he didn't know, but that once he was surrounded by the
enemy and in the fight he saw one man fall at a shot from his musket. Jumping over the body he escaped death or capture. "At the battle of Long Island, seeing his company was being surrounded, he rushed at the
British line with clubbed musket and broke through , then threw away his gun and run, escaping unhurt." (Judge Harrison, who had it from James ' s daughter.) James may have enlisted again as their is a
tradition that he was in the Battle of Trenton.
His early home in Cornwall was in a log house. This he built, together with farm buildings, on land which was afterwards proven to belong to another who had a prior claim . The town authorities, in a desire to assist him, laid out a highway through the disputed property and thus saved the barn from confiscation. But he had to build another dwelling.
James was a very vigorous man, large physically, a great worker, and could mow with scythe as much grass as two ordinary men could cut in the same time. He sometimes received the w ages of two men for
a days work.
Like most people of large stature, he was of a kindly and even tempered disposition and enjoyed a joke. In reply to some remarks by his more excitable wife he would say, "Don't thee
bite, Hannh." His half sister, name not known, lived in his family and she did not seem to share his jovial disposition.
He made some remark about her mouth which she resented so much that for a long time she would not eat at the table with him. So James ate his meals alone and left the table, that his sister might eat with the family.
He had one old horse which he had ridden for many years.
Sometimes in returning from a short journey with the mare, he would come home, carrying the saddle on his arm, and leading the animal by its halter strap.
He was a consistent member of the Society of Friends and used their quaint forms of speech.
In 1776 "James Sterling worked the Rev. Hezekiah Gold's farm in Cornwall and was assaulted by him, for which
Mr. Gold was fined." (Sedgwick's pamphlet upon the history of Cornwall.) Asa Bonney, father of Meliscent, who married James son Isaac, kept an account book wherein are many items relative to James and his
sons. The first mention, headed, "James Starling Jr . " is dated May 30, 1780, and the last is Sept. 12, 1812
Hannah May Sterling was a member of the Cornwall First Church as early as
1775. Seven children by her were bapt. there, Ann, Daniel, Isaac and Thomas in 1775, a dau. in 1776, Rachel i n 1778 , and James in 1781.
A child died in 1789. James Sterling died in Cornwall July 13 , 1829. H annah died there May 20, 1834.
There are two copies of letters personally written by James Sterling, III, and Joseph Nathaniel
Sterling. They state James Sterling, came from Scotland and England, between 1700 and 1750, to Connecticut..
Cornwall was first settled in 1739-40. None of the name of Sterling were there among the
earliest settlers of the first eight years. (History of Litchfield Co., Conn., 1881, page, 290. )

SECOND GENERATION
2.
Thomas Sterling1,2 (James-1) was born on December 6, 1767 in Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut.11,12 He was baptized on January 16, 1775. He died on November 26, 1828 in Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.13 He was buried after November 26, 1868 in Old, Cemtry, Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.14 He was a Wheelwright & Cabinet Maker in Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.15 He was Quaker.16 Thomas Sterling was born on 6 Dec 1767 in Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut. The 6 Dec 176 8 d ate is incorrect, but was recorded in The Sterling Genealogy. I have listed it here, so i t wi ll not continue to be repeated. The correct date per the vital statisics for Cornwall i s 1767 . He was baptized on 16 Jan 1775 in Cornwall, Litchfield , Connecticut. The children w ere bap tised on "on his wifes account." He appeared on the census in 1800 in Cornwall, Litch fiel d , Connecticut.
Thomas "Stirling" was possibly listed twice in the 1800 census, he also appears on line 13 u n der the city of Goshen. Because the number of children and ages of Thomas and the female i n t he
house are the same, and tie closely to Thomas's family (James William Sterling his so n wa s an only child.) I'm assuming Thomas was enumerated twice.
His enumeration was 1 male under age 10, one male age
26-45, and one female age 26-45. Wheth e r his house was in Cornwall or Goshen is under some confusion, as the Sterling farm of hi s fa ther was very close to the border between the two towns. There is a check mark
next to t he en try in Cornwall on the original record, suggesting some kind of edit was done.
A interesting note is Thomas lived next door to the Bonneys, who went with Thomas to Susqueh a nna County,
Pennsylvania just a few year later.
He was noted in an entry in Cornwall Town Meeting Notes on 17 Dec 1804 in Cornwall, Litchfie l d , Connecticut.
In the Cornwall Town meeting notes yet another
highway project impacted one of the Sterlin g f amily members. "And also a highway laid out through Thomas Sterling's land." He died on 2 6 No v 1828 in Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. He was buried
after 26 Nov 1868 in Old, C emtry , Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. He was a Wheelwright & Cabinet Maker in Brookly n, Sus quehanna, Pennsylvania. He was Quaker.
Excerpt from "The Sterling Genealogy" by Albert M. Sterling, pub 1909, pg 902
Thomas Sterling removed from Connecticut to Brooklyn, Susquehanna Co., Penn., in 1812.
At that time the township
was known by the name of Hopbottom, deriving this title from the c r eek along whose banks the early settlers found whild hops growing. The name of the town w a s changed to Brooklyn in 1825.
A settlement was first made within the present limits of Br oo klyn by a party of Scotch-Irish and Dutch from Philadelphia in 1787. They began to sell th ei r titles to settlers from Connecticut in 1798. The entire section was eventually peopled a lm ost entirely by natives of Connecticut, who at this time supposed that they were moving in t o a territory over which their old commonwealth had jurisdiction.
Thomas Sterling was a wheelwright and a cabinet and furniture maker. Like his father he w a s a quaker, one of few in locality. He and his wife are buired in the old cemetery in Broo kl yn.
The inscription on the stone above their graves reads: "Thomas Sterling died Nov. 26 , 18 28 Aged 61 years also Mehetabel his wife Died Sept. 18, 1827, Aged 60 years."
The 6 Dec 1768 date is
incorrect, but was recorded in The Sterling Genealogy. I have list e d it here, so it will not continue to be repeated. The correct date per the vital statisi c s for Cornwall is 1767.
He was
married to Mehitable Norton (daughter of Daniel Norton and Elizabeth Howe) on August 23, 1790. Mehitable Norton1,2 was born on June 1, 1768.
She died on September 18, 1827 in Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. She was buried in Brooklyn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. Thomas Sterling and Mehitable Norton had the following children:

He made the journey on foot , w ith a knapsack on his back. He worked that summer chopping and clearing the trees from th e la nd on which he later built his home.
In the fall he returned to Connecticut and came back in the following spring with his fath e r and mother.
His father bought the land and deeded it to James in 1819. James was a farm er , and like his father and grandfather was a Quaker.

James Wm. Sterling came from Fairfield, Ct. in the spring of 1811, when he was 20 years ol d .
He journey was made on foot with his knapsack on his back. He worked that summer choppi n g and clearing on the place, boarding at Mr. Chapman's. The story is still told that Davi d M organ who came the year before, and CHarles Perigo who came two years before, were each c hopp ing at the same time on their respective places, one to the north and the other over th e hil l to the east, but both were still boarding at Mr. Chapmans. It is related that Capt . Morga n and Mr. Perigo were well enough suited with ordinary pioneer fare, and were each t o pay on e day's work in each week for their board, but Mr. S. thought he must have some extr as and ha d to pay more. He returned to Connecticut in the fall and came back with his fathe r and moth er the following spring. He married Betsey (or Elizabeth) Tewksbury then living o n the nex t place south. Mr. S. was of Quaker proclivities, and a friend of Enoch Waker of Di mock.
