Sarah “Sally” (3 Feb 1792-2 Dec 1884) — m. James Trefren on 4 Oct 1819; m. John Kent in 1849
Hannah (1793-Nov 1875) — m. Richard W. Abbott on 23 Apr 1812
Dorothy H. (Sep 1795-9 Apr 1878) — m. John Caverly in Jan 1821
Thomas H., Jr. (15 Feb 1798-????) — m. Julia Ann Pinkham on 24 Aug 1834
Nancy (15 Apr 1800-22 Nov 1805)
Mary G. (May 1802-????)
Stephen H. (21 Aug 1804-26 Aug 1871) — m. Frances Rindge on 29 Jan 1829
Thomas was the fourth of eight children of Samuel B. Locklin (17 Sep 1732-1810) and Sarah Hawes (28 Jun 1732-~1810), who married on 3 Nov 1757 in Dedham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The family name is also written Laughlin, Lauchlen, Lockland, Lochlin, and other variants.
Mary was the second of four children of Stephen Hovey (24 Feb 1742-~1770) and Abigail Hood (16 May 1741-30 Nov 1839), who married on 18 Jul 1761 in Topsfield, Essex County, Massachusetts, where her ancestors had long resided. Her father was reportedly lost at sea when she was a child. Her mother remarried within a year or so to one John Tibbetts (1745-1824), and later died in Wakefield, New Brunswick.
Mary’s first husband was Benjamin Emerson (~1760-????), whom she married on 10 Jul 1783 in Dunstable, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. They had two children:
Mary (10 Jan 1784-????)
Benjamin (21 Jun 1785-????)
Benjamin must have died in the late 1780s or early 1790s. Stephen and Mary married about 1792 in Dunstable.
The 1810 census for Alton, Strafford County, New Hampshire had the Thomas Locklin household as a man aged 26-44, a woman aged 45+, a girl aged 10-15, and two boys and two girls all under 10. This doesn’t fit what’s known of the family.
In the 1830 census, the Thomas Locklins of Alton were just a couple in their sixties and a man in his thirties. That fits. The younger man was almost certainly Thomas Jr.
The 1840 census for New Durham, Strafford County, New Hampshire listed the household of Thomas Laughlin as a couple in their seventies, a man in his thirties, a woman in her twenties, and a boy age 10-14. Given that son Stephen was by then living in New York, there’s no knowing who those younger folks were.
Thomas and Mary are both supposed to have died in the 1840s. That’s certainly likely, but no records back it up as yet, and their burial locations are undetermined.
Sarah married James Trefren, Sr. (15 Apr 1772-30 Oct 1846) in 1819. Some of his lineage write the name as as Trefethen or Trefethren. It was his second marriage; he and his first wife, Amey (1768-1813) married in 1789 and had four children. Children with Sarah:
James, Jr. (30 Sep 1820-6 Aug 1898) — m. Hannah Osgood Norris in 1845
John Lewis (2 Aug 1826-25 Oct 1904) — m. Sarah Leavitt Penniman on 7 Jun 1846; m. Elizabeth Shepler on 25 Sep 1890
In the 1840 census for Moultonborough, Carroll County, New Hampshire, the James Trefren household was a man in his sixties, a woman in her forties, a boy aged 15-19, and a boy aged 10-14, which fits this family very neatly.
James died in Moultonborough in 1846. He’s buried in Shannon Cemetery there. Both boys married around the time of their father’s death.
Sarah remarried in 1849 to John Kent (1788-1860), a widower with several children. The 1850 census listed her with John and some of his children in Wolfeborough, Carroll County. John died in 1860. Sarah died in 1884 in Massachusetts, but is buried in Shannon Cemetery back in Moultonborough with James.
Hannah has her own entry in the family tree.
Dorothy married John Caverly (19 Jan 1799-1 Dec 1843) from New Durham, Strafford County, New Hampshire in January 1821. Known children:
Mary Ann (11 Jun 1821-10 Apr 1847) — m. James. J. Kimball on 7 Nov 1841
Elmira B. (9 Jun 1823-12 Jan 1892) — never married
Dorothy H. (14 Aug 1830-7 Dec 1843)
John was a deacon. He died in 1843 in New Durham, and is buried in Caverly Cemetery there. In the 1850 census, Dorothy was still living in New Durham with unmarried daughter Elmira.
Dorothy died in 1878, and is buried with John. Daughters Dorothy Jr. and Elmira are buried there also. Daughter Mary Ann is buried with her husband in Thompson Cemetery, Sandwich, Carroll County.
Thomas was probably still with his parents in 1830. He married Julia Ann Pinkham in 1834 in Strafford County. They had at least one child, reportedly born in Oneida County, New York, where his brother Stephen also resided:
Mary (?1831?-?30 Oct 1897?) — prob. m. Russell Chapin about 1850
Mary’s birth predates the wedding by three years, but it’s possible she was the child of an earlier, unknown wife. Nothing further about Thomas or Julia.
Mary Jane Laughlin Chapin (1831-30 Oct 1897) from New York, wife of Russell Chapin (1820-1896) and daughter of Thomas Laughlin, is buried in Dryden, Lapeer County – almost certainly this family’s daughter. According to her husband’s 1896 obituary, she had a brother, Frank Laughlin, who also lived in Dryden; that probably meant her cousin William Francis Laughlin.
Nancy died at age 5.
No data
Stephen married Frances Rindge (1810-184x) in 1829 at the First Presbyterian Church in Utica, Oneida County, New York. Known children:
unknown boy (1831-????)
unknown girl (1834-????)
William Francis (15 Feb 1837-18 Dec 1912) — m. Lucinda Zavitz on 27 Feb 1860
They settled in Bridgewater, Oneida County, New York, where son William was born in 1837. The 1840 census there listed them as a man (Stephen H. Lauchlin) in his thirties, a woman in her twenties, a boy and girl age 5-9, and a boy under 5. They were three households away from one headed by Katherine Rindge, doubtless a relative to Frances.
Stephen was a jeweler and watchmaker. That fact helps to confirm that he was the man the 1850 census found at a hotel in Chester County, Pennsylvania, with his name mangled to “Sephen H. Lawhlin”. Frances had probably died in the 1840s. By the time of the 1860 census, Stephen was in Shirleysburg Borough, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, still alone. No trace of the kids in this period.
Stephen died in 1871 in Penn, Cass County in southwestern Michigan. His death record changed his name to McLauchlin, which is the kind of confusion that makes tracing the branches of this family difficult. Burial location is unknown.
Son William is said to have left New York at age 16 (so, about 1853) to work in Ontario. He married in 1860 in Ontario, and settled in Dryden, Lapeer County, Michigan toward the eastern side of the state, where he remained from 1860 until his death in 1912.
