 Notes for JOHN MAGNER:

Hist Of Winthrop by Stackpole, 1929, Pg 491:

  ...John Magner, a native of Ireland, who came to this country about 1790 and first settled in New Hampshire, where he married for second wife the mother of Samuel Harvey, then a widow.  He was a man of some education and became so noted as a school teacher as to be called "Master Magner".  Many stories are told of his eccentricities.  After his marriage to Mrs. Harvey he with four children by a former wife settled in Monmouth near the southwest corner of Winthrop.  He died 7 April 1814, aged 65 years.  Abigail, his wife, died 30 March 1814, aged 65 years. Their only son that lived to manhood was James, who married, 1812.

 History of Monmouth and Wales by Harry H. Cochrane, Vol. I, 1984 (republished in 1988) pg 284-285:

  Master Magner (who was a Hibernian) wore a long-tailed coat, and velvet breeches that fitted his limbs so closely as to make them appear about as large as a man's wrist.  Like Master Lowney [a Monmouth schoolmaster] he was fond of a drop of "the good crayther".  At the first election of artillery officers, held at Capt. Prescott's hall, Master Magner was at his best.  The finest liquors that could be procured were served as freely as water, and, by some, drank with a freedom that would put water to blush.  Master Magner rose to the spirits of the occasion--or was it the spirits that rose?  Under the circumstances a toast would be eminently proper; and who was better qualified to propose it than Master Magner?  Thus soliloquizing, he raised his glass far above his head proclaiming, "Here the cup goes round and--."  Alas for human calculation!  It was Master Magner's head, and not the cup, that was going round.  He staggered a little, and before he could regain his perpendicular, found himself lying at the bottom of the steep stairway leading from the hall, slightly sobered and considerably injured.

  The following article concerning Master Magner, evidently from the pen of that able writer of historic sketches, Mr. A. W. Tinkham of North Monmouth, was copied some three or four years ago (abt 1890) from the Winthrop Budget:  "About one hundred years ago the first John Magner made his appearance in New Hampshire.  He ran away from Dublin, Ireland, and came in no small degree of pomp for he was dressed in a white linen suit with silver buckles and black silk stockings which reached to the knee. He had with him several of these suits for a change, all white linen, and as some of our grand-mothers of the first families have told us, the widowed mother of Samuel Harvey, and having four children of his own, he took both families and call all the way to Monmouth on horseback.  Here by his smartness in school-teaching he received the title of "Master" Magner, by which name he was called until his death.  I have been told of late that he taught the first school ever taught in Greene.  His only son that lived--James Magner, settled in Wayne."

  This was published in the heat of the excitement cause by the announcement that a large estate had fallen to the Magner heirs of this country.  Whatever may have been the value of the property, non of the Monmouth heirs have yet seen their shares.
