Hi, Sandy. Take a look at a message of madamx on 4/26 in VAFRANK-L. She refers to two documents relating to Phebe Belcher Swinney. In the second Phebe refers to "the heirs of my own body which is Keshia Boldwin, Prudence Belcher, Isham Belcher, Polley Warwick, Frances Belcher." Hope this helps. Barbara

I like that name Clementine..... I think the ancestors chose the neatest names. I don't have interesting names like that in my family tree. :(

Hi, havent posted in some time. Am looking for a Malinda (Fox) Belcher, wife of Bartlet (Bartley) Belcher. Their daug. was Martha Clementine (Belcher) Milligan/Milican. Malinda was married in 1848 (TN) and died in 1883 in WV. Possible born in OH or PA. Connie

My gg grandmother was Margaret BELCHER born in PA about 1832. She married Nov. 25, 1852 William Henry Beckey in Lenawee County, Michigan. They had one daughter I know of for sure - Margaret Luella b. Nov. 20, 1865 in Lenawee County, Michigan, married Norman Speller in 1884. (They were my great grandparents). I believe Margaret had 2 other daughters, an Eliza and a Lydia who might have married an Odell. Does anyone have a connection to or know of this family, or is she listed in the Belcher book everyone has been talking about??? Joyce joycevan@gulftel.com

Is it called "Belcher Family"? I just checked on Barnes and Noble (www.bn.com) and nothing even remotely associated with family ancestry comes up.

There is a Belcher Family book that lists some families and their ancestry. Only 50 of these books were ever made. They are available but they cost about $256. Barnes and Noble.com had it a few years ago and that was the cost. I don't think they have it anymore.

I would also like to know what Belcher book is referred to. Is it still available and where? My Belchers (John; born ca 1810) came from Virginia and was married to Sina Ann Rudd, also from Virginia. Among their children; Sarah M Belcher was was born in Ky was my great grandmother. She married William McNabb. The family was in Hickman and Ballard Counties while in Ky. Other children of John and Sina were; Robert W Belcher born ca 1841 Hickman Co, Ky Sarah M Belcher born 1842 Married William McNabb Martha J Belcher born 1844 Ballard Co, Ky John S Belcher born 1849 Milton J A Belcher born 1851 Married Martha ??? ca 1879 Mary T Belcher born 1855 Alvin W Belcher 1859 Treey S Belcher born 1860 Ivy Susie Belcher born 1862 Married 1879 to James Thomas Burpo Can anyone shed any light on my line or any of the above? Thanks in advance. Shirley

Hi Ed It's the New England Historical and Genealogical Library in Boston. I'm not sure if they have done anything with the records, but Sue Curry said that they have a copy at the Dyer Library in Abington. Let me know what you find out.

Ed, Harry Belcher also donated a written copy of his records to the Dyer Library in Abington, MA. This is where all the records from the Weymouth Genealogical and Historical Society records are kept.. I bet if you get their address and write them a letter I bet they would photocopy his records (for a fee of course) I went over a few times and photocopied some of the pages. You don't have anything to loose.
