Here is a recently taken photo of the original list of "The Freemen of New Haven," that Richard Ives was able to retrieve via a genealogical researcher intermediary from the Connecticut State Archives at Hartford just a few days ago. You will find Will Ives' name listed third from the bottom of the left column. There is a blow up posted below the larger image. If you click on the image it will expand.
Thanks to D. Rochon who sent me the link - below is the picture of the grave of Hannah and Jeremiah Ives. It is in the Elmwood cemetery in Holyoke, MA. Captain Jeremiah Ives (5) was the son of Jonathn Ives (1716 - 1792). He was born on Nov. 19, 1738 in New Haven. He married Hannah Bassett on June 7, 1768 in New Haven, CT. Hannah was born on Dec. 26, 1739 in New Haven, CT. and died Sept. 14, 1803 in West Springfield, MA. Jeremiah served in the French and Indian War, enlisting twice in 1758 and 1760 in the Sixth Company from New Haven under Capt. Hitchcock. He bought land in Hamden, CT on February 16,1775 from David Woofter for 4 pounds, one shilling, and four pence (see below). Jeremiah fought in Revolutionary War. (See David Wooster) He later moved to West Springfield MA after 1780 and is listed in the 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820 US Census in W. Springfield.
Here is a link to more information on Jeremiah and Hannah Ives and their family.
I recently recieevd these great photos from D. Rochon who also provided this context: " I was driving down Northampton Street in Holyoke last Sunday and stopped to take a few pictures of 1966 Northampton Street (side view) from the Baptist Church Parking Lot. I thought you might enjoy them. I lived across Carlton Street from this house from 1954 through 1978. Two of my childhood friends rented an attic apartment at 1966 Northampton Street, so we played there a lot. An elderly couple by the name of Ritterman owned the home at that time. We used to play on the snow banks of the Baptist Church. In the springtime, there were beautiful white lilacs in the yard. As you can see, the house has been very well maintained. I admire the outstanding architecture of this era."
Ellen Ives is listed in the 1912 Holyoke Directory at 1966 Northampton St., along with her brother Dwight, a farmer. Here is a link to a 2003 picture.
Update: i found out from Carl Eger, the owner of this home for some time that Dwight Ives, the original owner, was the head Deacon of the next door Baptist Church as well as the first President of the Holyoke National Bank, which was located on the north west side of High St, across from City Hall. He also had built, for his two sisters, the home adjacent to this home, which is down Carlton St (formerly aka Mechanic Street that was the first publicly accepted street in Holyoke). His sister, Ellen had moved in this house by 1912.
Richard Ives has again provided a great service to the readers of this blog. See - Record of William Ives Departure to New England in 1635 for an earlier contribution. What follows is his comments to go with the picture only slightly edited by me. He was in New Haven over the holidays and after some serious consultation of old maps was able to pinpoint the precise location of William Ives's home lot, as it appears on the 1641 Brockett map, drawn the year before William and Goodwife Ives' first child, Phebe, was born. Although the site today is, part of the parking lot of a medical building, he found it interesting nevertheless.
The photo seen on the left was taken at the west end of William's house lot - the first property that William was granted after his arrival at Quinnipiac in 1638.
(The photo was taken looking roughly due east.) William's lot was about 50 feet wide by 100 feet long and is pretty much contained by the area shown in the photograph. The hedge and chain link fence on the left side of the photo mark the northern boundary of his property. The snow piled up at the far end of the parking lot marks its eastern boundary. The southern boundary, parallel to the northern, was just about where the right side of the photo ends. The place where Richard was standing when he took the photo is just a few feet inside the western boundary of his house lot.
These days the area between the far end of the property, as seen in the photo, and the cubical white building in the distance is occupied by a busy highway, known as the "New Haven Connector." (You can't see any cars in the photo because the Connector, built in the 1960's on an old creek bed, is on a somewhat lower elevation than the parking lot.) In the 1630's the place now occupied by the Connector was West Creek, which flowed, left to right (roughly north to south) as seen in the photo.
By the time the creek reached the area below William's house it had widened into a salt marsh that extended to the Long Island Sound, which in those days was not more than two hundred yards off to the right (roughly south) as seen in the photo. From the eastern edge of his property (at the present-day far end of the parking lot in the photo) William would have been able to look out out over the marsh to the wooden bridge that in all likelihood he had helped to build across West Creek, probably in the summer of 1638.
Looking off to the right, he would have been able to see the Sound itself, a couple of hundred yards away. He would have had a splendid, unimpeded view of the rising sun.
William did not live in an area adjacent to the New Haven Green, site of the meeting house and market, but rather in the western "suburbs," along with thirteen other families, whose lots were lined up, side by side, on a gentle bluff, the higher reaches of which, somewhat to the west, would later come to be known as "Sodom Hill," and eventually just, "The Hill."
To reach the New Haven Green in those days, William walked along a path that led down into the marsh (in the direction of the cubicle white building in the photo) to the wooden bridge that was probably just wide enough for an oxcart to pass. Having crossed the bridge, he headed up the path to the top of the slope on the far side and headed east (just to the left of the wavy brownish parking lot in the photo) past other farms belonging to the settlement. The walk from his house to the Green on all but the snowiest days would have taken him fifteen to twenty minutes.
Directions- If you drive (or walk) to the junction of College Street and Congress Avenue in the area of New Haven just west of the Connector, then walk (roughly) east on Congress, you will come to Lafayette Street on the right. If you continue walking a few more steps, you will come to a place where Congress veers sharply right to connect with the "S. Frontage Road." (This little dog leg in the road is clearly visible on the Brockett map and later maps.)
At this point the northern portion of the medical building parking lot will be just ahead. A chain link fence, running along the right side of the Congress Street dog leg is the boundary of the parking lot of a rather imposing medical building. It also marks the boundary of William Ives' property in 1641.
If you visit the site, you will notice that the Long Island Sound is nowhere visible from anywhere on, or near the property. That is because over the last 350 years New Haven town has expanded into the old harbor, which means that the Sound, these days, is one half a mile to the south.
I really Richard’s photo and comments. I have long wanted to go to New Haven and do exactly what he did. Now I will have his photo to further guide me.
Here is a map of southern New England produced in 1646, the year that William Ives passed away in New Haven. It was produced by Sir Robert Dudley (1573-1649). It was part of the first comprehensive marine atlas of the world and is on exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Ma. It was considreed the best map of the world for almost 50 years. 
The town of Hamden CT, home to many early Ives such as Jonathan and Jeremiah, was named after john Hamden, the English statesman and cousin of Oliver Cromwell, who was killed in a battle of the civil war. He was a popular hero of the Puritan founders of the New Haven Colony, the forebears of the majority of Hamden residents in 1786. Picture and information from the Hamden Historical Society site.
Here is a picture of our cousin (through the Dunbars) Henry David Thoreau. Henry (1817 – 1862) (shown below in 1856 with his own survey map of Walden Pond) was related to the Dunbar family and through them was a cousin of the Ives family.
Thanks to Jim for another picture of Elam Ives house. See more on him at Ivesville and Ives Corner, Connecticut - Elam Ives founder, and Elam Ives House. 
Yesterday I showed a watercolor done by Bede Ives in 1810 that I received from David Nelson. Here are the two corners where you can see her signature and the date.
Here is a watercolor done by Bede Ives, daughter of Elam and Sarah Ives. Tomorrow I will show some details. This painting was done in 1810. Thanks to David Nelson for providing this image and the information on Bede. It is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch watercolor portrait on paper done in school (she is most probably the girl nearest the signature.). Bede born Dec. 31, 1793 in Hamden, New Haven Co., CT and died May 17, 1818; Hartford, Hartford Co., CT. She was buried: Centerville Cemetery, Hamden, CT. Bede Ives married David Bradley (b. Dec. 27, 1791) in November of 1813, and they had two children, Amelia, born c. 1815; and Henry, born c. 1817. Elam likely knew his cousin Abraham Ives (1769 - 1855) before Abraham's family moved to W, Springfield around 1790. Perhaps Abraham and his son, Sumner, (born 1799) also knew Bede through visits back to where they used to live and likely they went to her funeral in 1818.
You can find the watercolor listed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Inventory of American Paintings along with works by others Ives artists. Chauncey Bradley Ives, the sculptor listed is a descendent of William Ives through Joseph's brother John.
Here is another picture of the home that Elam and Sarah Ives (see August 2) built In 1790 at what is today 95 Ives Street in the Mount Carmel Ct area. This is another much appreciated picture from Jim.
This house was built by Elam Ives in 1790 (1761-1846) Elam was a prosperous farmer in Mount Carmel. He was also a manufacturer of carriage parts. See August 2 for his picture. Thanks again to Jim for this picture.
Here are the pictures of Elam and Sarah Hitchcock Ives and their house in Mt Carmel, CT (a section of Hamden). It was taken around 1840 when they had been married nearly 50 years. Thanks to Jim for this photo and several others which will appear soon. See the post, Ivesville and Ives Corner, Connecticut - Elam Ives founder, for more on Elam.
I heard from David Nelson that one of his daughters was Bede or Beda Ives, born Dec. 31, 1793; died May 17, 1818. She married David Bradley after 1810, and had at least two children before her death in 1818. She was one of 11 children that included another Elam and a William Ives. He found information on Elam Ives and his children from information taken from the DAR application of his granddaughter Helen Ives Webb, National #73228. Elam served as a volunteer in the defense of New Haven, CT at the time of Tryon's invasion in July 1779. He purchased a four acre lot in 1787 and built a small house (95 Ives Street, Hamden, CT) before his marriage in 1790. See the next two posts for pictures of his house.
This was taken around 1914 in Pinebluff, NC.
Here is St. John the Baptist church, Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire. The church dates to 950, in Saxon times, and was enlarged in Norman and medieval times. The current exterior dates from the 14th century. The stained glass is from 1939. It is likely where Thomas Dickerman and Ellen Whittington got married in 1621. Thanks to Euan Semple for pointing out the picture on Flickr.

The original wooden church buried to the ground in an electrical storm on June 8, 1925. A new brick church shown below was completed in 1929 and named the Ives Memorial Baptist Church. Dwight H. Ives presided at the first services upon completion, held on the August 18, 1929. Dwight preached again at the church on occasion and during World War Two, he acted as an assistant preacher when an Army group was camped nearby and there were additional requirements for services.
On Feb. 28, 1866, he was certified as approved as a teacher for the school in District No. 2, South Hadley, MA by the school committee: Norman Preston & Elliot Montague. Here is the certificate.
