Would anyone have any idea who this JAMES ALDRICH was? He requested and received membership in the Farmington (Ontario Co., NY) Quaker meeting in 1812 (he would have been an adult at that time). By 1818 he removed to Erie Co., NY, and by 1832 he can be identified with the Orthodox faction of the Collins Quaker meeting (which covered southern Erie, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, NY). There was a James Aldrich b. c.1793 MA res. Clymer, Chautauqua Co., NY with wife, Louise A. b. c.1810 MA and family in 1850. Slight possibility this could have been him. But not convincing! Can anyone enlighten me on Quaker JAMES ALDRICH? Sue Kulp, Orchard Park, NY

I have spent days trying to find parents and families of spouses of Ahaz Cook. I am quite sure the following is correct: -Born 19 Jul 1790, probably Mendon, Ma -Served in war of 1812 from Mendon and received land in Illinois given to vets. -Married Mercy Walling, 19 Jul 1818, Mendon -Married Hannah Sherwood, 1 Oct 1829, Lewiston, Fulton, Il. -Mendon vitals say he died there 17 Aug 1840, son of Esaius Cook although some say he died in Far West, Missouri The first name "Ahaz" was common in the Aldrich family in Mendon and in R.I. at that time, (I believe due to the earlier death of a young Aldrich boy by name of Ahaz) and there were a number of Cook/Aldrich marriages. Could the mother of Ahaz Cook have been from the Aldrich family. I can find no other reference to Esaius(Esaias) Cook. As you know, any information would be sincerely appreciated. Paul P.

E. Easton, editor and owner. The next year Easton was joined by Dr. P. P. Nichols. The paper changed owners several times in the next few years, but in 1873 it came into the capable hands of Abram J. Aldrich who remained editor and owner down to 1893. Mr. Aldrich, grandson of the Abram Aldrich who owned the first mill at Hodunk, and grandfather of Dr. Napier S. Aldrich of this city, made the Republican one of the best newspapers in Coldwater history. In 1897 the Republican was consolidated with The Courier, which had been started in 1885 by William G. Moore and Dr. P. P. Nichols. The paper had several changes in ownership down to the time of its consolidation under the management of C. C. Newell and Major George H. Turner, when the paper became the Courier and Republican. Another paper, a short-lived one, was the Union Sentinel owned by Franklin V. Smith and William Moore. This paper, discontinued in 1870, and was Democratic like its predecessor, the Sentinel, but the word "Union" was used to imply that it supported the war. The Daily Reporter was established in 1895, the first daily paper in the city. Simon B. Kitchel, the founder, had enjoyed a varied and successful career. Coming to Coldwater after the Civil War, he practiced law and served the county as prosecutor and the city as mayor. Kitchel compounded and sold the famous "Kitchel's Liniment" --- "Good for man or beast" --- that became a household word throughout the country, and it might be said that this business was an important factor in the establishment of the Reporter. Mr. Kitchel had acquired a considerable amount of printing equipment to handle the labels and advertising for his product, and he conceived the idea that a newspaper was the answer to the problem of seasonal shut-downs. Once in the field of journalism he made the Reporter one of the outstanding papers of Southern Michigan, employing the best in editors, among whom were A. J. Aldrich and W. C. Bailey. Although Kitchel was a robust Republican and his paper frankly partisan, he waged a battle against "bossism" and was one of the leaders in the in the fight against the party caucus and for the establishment of direct primaries in Michigan. One other paper should be mentioned. In 1881 the Coldwater Sun was established. This passed into the hands of Willis Bailey. In 1891 Gen. J. G. Parkhurst, Judge John B. Shipman, E. E. Barlow and the Rev. Henry Hughes came into the company, and an attempt was made to establish once more a strong Democratic paper. The project was not successful, and right after the turn of the century, one of the most colorful figures of local journalism, John S. Evans, combined it with his Star, making it the Sun and Star. Evans battled for lost causes for many years. His editorials were widely read, and more widely disagreed with. He was an ardent Prohibitionist and so astute a politician that in 1896 he engineered a coalition of minority parties to elect a Prohibitionist to Congress in the strongly Republican Third District. Through the 19th century Coldwater did not lack for editorial writers --- Major George T. Turner, J. S. Evans, Henry and Willis Bailey, Charles Newell and S. B. Kitchel ranking with the best in the state --- but the dean of them all was Abram J. Aldrich who best expressed the necessity of independence in Journalism: "At this time in our political history we are attaining the point where but two parties exist. While the editor must choose the fold to which he shall belong, it is not his duty to blindly accept the following of any person who may for the nonce be the recognized party leader." Ralph

Aldrich I was hoping you might be able to help me with my Aldrich ancestors. My grandmother was an Aldrich, Etta Tabitha b.10-15-1872 Kent Co. MI, m. Lewis M. Hunting, 8-7-1895 --Rockford, MI. She was the daughter of Peter M. Aldrich b. 9-4- 1835, Wayne Co., MI. and Mary P. Dryden, b.abt. 1844, Worcester Co., MD. m. 11-12-69 in Hannabal, MO.

Peter was the son of Marvin M. who was born in VT. 5-18-1803, he m. a Mary Harrington of Newfane, NY she d. abt 1834. Marvin was the son of Chad b.2-12-1773, Northbridge,W. MA, d.4-16-1816, m.

I would like to know more about Marvin and Peter. Do you have any information on the line I have given you. Thanks for any information Virginia Hunting Cox P.S. Mary Dryden died fairly young and is buried in Cedar Springs, MI. Peter M. took his four sons Edward, Marvin, Frank and Archie to New London, MO. This woud be about 1884. He left his daughters Etta and Nettie behind with the DeWitt Perry family.

Hi John and All: The bottom of the writer's letter which gave the e-mail address I guess and I would respond to her too - The GAG is a tool. Yes, it is accurate in some areas and not in others. Why - no sources listed in the book. Each entry must be scrutinized carefully and researched to be certain that if AJ says someone was born in Mendon, MA, that in fact that information can be found in the Vital records of Mendon, MA, or with a certificate from the Town Clerk's office if later than the printed vital records which in most cases go to 1850. If this information can not be substantiated with good sources, then that should be stated in the notes of the individuals own family papers.

Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 09:21:44 -0400 <smaller>Dear John, I was thrilled to find your National Aldrich Association page. I am an Aldrich on both my mothers & fathers side. They had a common ancestor Robert Aldrich who was born in Smithfield. R.I. From vol 5 of A.James Aldrich's book, I believed that my chart would read. George (1), Peter (2) married to Mehitable Swazey, Jacob (3) married to Bethiah Evans, Daniel (4) married to Mary, Robert (5) Married to Mary Bettlebrunt as his first wife. From my fathers side I am from Robert's third child Peter (6) who married Sarah Ackerly. Their 6th child is Nathaniel (7) who is my gr gr grandfather he married an Elizabeth McConnell from Vermont. Nathaniel and Elizabeth's 7th child was Aurissa (Orissa) (8) who married for her second husband Francis (Frank ) Osterhoudt. Their first child Maude (9) who married Fred Eck is my grandmother. I am from their 2nd son Earl. > On my mothers side which isn't in A. James book it would read Robert (5) married to Mary Bettlebrunt from their 10th child John Aldrich (6) who married Sally Devine (her second marriage) . Their 2nd child Lydia (7) married Clark Sheley. Their second child Viola (8) married George Dean. ( You will find them mentioned in A. James's Vol 5 because their daughter married some one connected to the Aldrich family too). George and Viola's first child Elisha (9) is my grand father. Elisha married for his first wife Fanny Vandemark. and their second child Clara is my mother. If you would like more information on these families -- I would be glad to share it with you. > I was a little confused that the information from your organization said that Peter's line was not proved yet. Does this mean that the information in the book is not correct???? > I will enjoy returning to the National Aldrich Association page many times. You may reach me at <underline><color><param>0000,0000,fefe</param>j.depuy@erols.com</color></underline> if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for the great job all of you are doing on behalf of the Aldrich cousins.

Hi John and All: I think that an intense search of the RI records are in order. Also, this group were Quakers, so maybe a good look at the Quaker Monthly Meeting records in Smithfield would be of help. There is a url for the Quaker material, but I don't know what it is.

Hi John and All: We have a member of the list who descends from this group of Aldrich-Comstock. Perhaps the person will share the data with this newcomer?

The truth is, my database has 10 children for David and Hannah but I haven't posted the info to my web site lately. I will do so pronto. I only have additional information on their children Edward, Margaret, and Levi, but I believe that the Historian of the National Aldrich Association, Robert Criswell, has information on the remaining 7, including Peter. I am sending a copy of this message to the officers of the NAA plus the Aldrich Mailing List. I am sure that you will hear from someone who can help you very soon.
