Biography

Henry Fonda (1905-1982) was the son of Dutch-descended William Brace Fonda and Herberta Jaynes and grandson of Henry Silas Jaynes and Elma Lampher. The parents of Henry Silas, Henry C[linton] Jaynes and Almira L. Jacobs, appear on p. 108 of the 1900 Bemis genealogy. Almira L. was the daughter of Silas Jacobs of Croydon, N.H. (1785-1839) and Lydia Pike, daughter of John Pike and Beulah Bemis. John was the son of another John Pike (and Mehitable Howard/Hayward) of Sturbridge, who appear to be not further traceable. Beulah’s parents were Abijah Bemis and Dinah Hagar; her grandparents were John Bemis, Jr. and Anna Livermore, and William Hagar 3rd and Mary Flagg. Once again, there is no royal, Mayflower or Salem witch descent, but families of some historical importance among the forebears of Anna Livermore include Danforth and Sherman. The mother of William Hagar 3rd was a Benjamin, and the mother of Mary Flagg was a Bigelow.^[1]

Beulah. m. Nov. 11, 1784. John (b. Nov. 10, 1762.) s. of John and Mehitable Pike, of Sturbridge. They moved to Marshfield Vt. in 1806.^[2] There is a FindaGrave memorial dedicated to Belah 'Beulah' Pike with a photo of the marker identifying her date of death as 19 Mar. 1837, Marshfield, VT.
