Hello All, The Family Reunion is coming up soon. Please remember to make your motel reservation soon. Here is a nice letter I received today. Can anybody tell me about the problem with Peter's line? John Aldrich ================================================================== From: "A. DePuy" <<a.depuy@erols.com> To: <<jaldrich@wsii.com> Subject: Another Aldrich Kin?? 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.
