Sue/Serena, I have a note that I am descended from one of the 2 brothers per a Mr. Belcher who lived in or near Ipswich, MA. He died about 5 years ago. He told me that the 2 brothers came over about the same time and settled in two areas, one being Ipswich. Since he was descended from one of them, he ended up having to keep track of the other's descendants to keep them straight. I am told that his card file with about 5000 cards was donated to a library in the area, but have no way of getting information from it. Or where it is. My mother was a Belcher. From Springfield, MA, south west of Belchertown, MA.

Does anyone have ancestors from MA? I haven't come across too many that are. :( Jeremy Belcher b. 1613. came to New England in 1635 and settled in Ipswich. d. in March 1692-3. This is as far back as I've gone with the Belcher book. Serena
