Here's a document I have in my computer files. I'll copy the key part you were interested in; I'm not sure who I cooresponded with as it's been a few years since I was aggressively researching my family history (a ten year activity until the internet provided me with access to more detailed information in 2002. Here's the note I copied from the e-mail exchange: At Lansing State Library, there are some copied pages from the "Blakeslee Families in American - by Porter Matteson - he lived in Columbus, Ohio and then lived in Fla. I found some dated 1955 - wrote to him at address in Fla. and never received my letter back nor any response. However I noted today 2 other people listed in Columbus, Ohio area and will try them via phone. but that's about 50 years ago. Anyway - have put together some information (don't hold me to it) that I found in my copied papers from Lansing library: Samuel Blakeslee - born June 30, 1599 Great Chishill, Essexshire Co, Eng Died May 17, 1672 New Haven, New Haven Co.,Conn married Dec. 5, 1650 in New Haven, Conn to Hannah Potter who was born about 1633 and died Nov. 7, 1723 in New Haven, Conn. I have seen her birth as New Haven and I have seen her birth as Chesham Parish, Bucks, England..... 11 children at least...... Son - John Edward - born Oct. 22, 1651 Guilford, New Haven Co, Ct. and died Sept. 2, 1653. (End of Message) Hope this is of interest. The DNA study noted that I am really not a Blakesley, I assume in England prior to the 1600's my family line was pulled into the Blakesley(ee) family. We were most likely farmers somewhere near the "black forest" where the Blakesley(ee) family tree connects us. Hope that helps...

The Marsh land had the lands of Eli Deming to their north and Eliakim to the south. I know Eli had children, but had seen no evidence that Eliakim did, but he may have had such. If this is the same piece of land the Marsh family had owned previous to 1780 and then sold off, the earlier sale was to Eliakim. So it is possible that your Sarah was a sister to an Abijah. I've been looking for Abijah, but the only one I find on the Internet was still in CT. (of course he could have been there an inherited land).

I think you should view the actual Plymouth record (perhaps on microfilm, if you have an LDS Family History Center near you). My guess is that it's a matter of messy handwriting.

I think you will find, after further study, that the town of Plymouth came from Waterbury. Plymouth was later further divided as the population grew I believe and one of those towns was Terryville. I think this family lived in that portion of Waterbury that slowly became Plymouth and then Terryville.

Thanks Owen & David for responding. I'll have to see about the original records. I just thought it was odd that basically the same people were listed in 2 different town's info. I later noticed the same thing happened to a couple of their children.

I am descended from Micajah/Macajah/Micah Blakeslee (1766-1845) and Rhoda Hopkins. His father was Abner Blakeslee (1731-1817) but I'm confused about Abner's wife. I was looking at the Barbour Collection for further info and now I'm really confused. The Waterbury records show that an: "Abner, s. Jacob, m. Thankfull Peck, d. Sam[ue]ll, Sept. 23, 1755" While at the same time, the Plymouth records show an: "Abner, s. Jacob, m. Thankfull Peeter, d. Samuel, of Waterbury, Sept. 23, 1755" It makes more sense that Peck is the correct last name since one of their son, Abner Jr. named a son "Abner Peck" but who knows. Does anyone have any insight into this? Anita McKinney Colorado Springs, CO
