CORSER.
Compiled by S. B. G. Corser.
JOHN,1 the first of the name in B., was born, as is supposed, in Scotland, about 1678. He was probably connected with the family of William Courser,* of Boston, who came over in 1635, some of whose descendants, in the female line (family of D. C. Colesworthy, bookseller on Cornhill), still reside in that city. Emigrating to this country at an early age, he settled in Newbury, Mass., marrying Tabitha Kenney, of that place, 8 March, 1716 or 1717; removed to B. in the early set- tlement of the town (the exact date is not known), where he tended a saw-mill till disabled by a terrible accident (1745, says Price's History), which deprived him of sight; lived afterwards with his son John on Corser hill, where he d., at a very advanced age, in the autumn of 1776. His wife is believed to have d. in Newbury, prior to his removal to B.
John, b. about 1718.
Nathan, m. Susan Danforth; no issue; d. in B. about 1800. His widow d. in Thetford, Vt.
Tabitha, m. Peter Flood, of B. Polly, m. Ezekiel Flanders, of Kingston, N. H.
Sarah, m. Samuel Davis, of B.
William, b. about 1730.
Hannah, m. John Bowley, of B.
JOHN2 (John1), b. about 1718; settled on a farm in Kingston ; lived afterwards in Chester; moved to B. in 1764, locating on Corser hill, afterwards so called, where he d. about 1791, aged 73. Married, 1st, Jane Nichols, of Newbury, Mass .; 2d, Mrs. Hepsibah Chase, of Dunbarton, 1789.
Children of Jane :
Thomas, b. 1743. Samuel, b. about 1746. Jonathan, b. about 1747. John, b. 13 May, 1751. David, b. in Kingston, 27 Jan., 1754. Jane, b. Jan., 1756; d. in Mich., 23 Dec., 1836, aged 80; m., 1772, Nathan Davis, of Conway; had 7 children.
* This mode of spelling the name is not uncommon in the earlier records. The true form, however (see description of family arms in English works of heraldry), is Cor- ser, represented originally by the Latin Cursor (from curro, to run), a Roman cogno- men, and, at a later stage, by the corresponding Italian form, Corsiere (by translation, Courser), of which the name, as adopted by the reputed Italian founder of the family, at Edinburgh, may be regarded as an abbreviation.
