I'm planning a trip to the Boston area in a few weeks, and will visit Hingham, Bellingham, Mendon and surrounding areas. I'm wondering who can guide me; a) is Joshua's house (built 1695) on S. Main St, Cohasset still standing? The 1918 Bates Bulletin says it was at that time. b) the Bulletin also indicates that Joseph (Joshua's father) was Sexton of the parish from 1693-1682. I wonder if this is the "Shipps Church" which is identified on my map. Anyone know? c)What are the 'obvious' Bates things that I sould see while I'm in the area? I have mapped out a plan for the Bellingham area, and hope to locate the farms (or at least the properties) where some of them resided and worked. *Clement, Joseph, Joshua (Hingham-Cohasset-Bellingham), Isaac (Bellingham), Laban (Bellingham), Peter(Mendon), Jervis (Mendon), Julius. Thanks in advance, Wayne S. Ambler
