Hi List: I have compiled a list of my ancestors (all ggggg-grandparents) from Barrington Township that are lost links. These are people which, to the best of my knowledge, there is no further information available on. Crowell had them listed as unknown's, no clues in BTR or any other reference material available to me. I have searched the vital records of the New England towns they came from, when known, but in most cases a dead end. I am putting this out there in the hope that someone has new information or clues on their identity as I know that many from the area share this ancestry. Thanks in advance, Brian 1. Mary Young (1720-1790), wife to Nathaniel Smith, founder of Smithville, married Nathaniel 1744 at Eastham, Mass, so assume she came from Eastham, but no Mary Young's from Eastham, that I can identify that would be the right age to have married Nathaniel. 2. John Spinney (circa 1755- circa 28 Feb 1842), settled in Port LaTour, born US from grant applications he made. Crowell said that he was born enroute from England to Marblehead (there are several Marblehead's in US but assume the one in Mass.) but there is no supporting documentation and no parents listed. Searched Marblehead Mass records but only one possible John Spinney that could be a candidate and evidence is too weak. 3. Mary Polly/Horn?? ( circa 1738- 29 Nov 1820), wife to Nathan Snow one of the original proprietors of Barrington, married Nathan (int. 17 January 1756) at Eastham, Mass so assume she is from there but no proof of that. Unknown parentage or even if Polly is her surname. 4. Samuel Penny (? - May 1789) third husband of Sarah Nickerson (1748-1828), supposedly a soldier of English parentage who received a grant of land at Port L'Hebert. 5. Michael Swim - (1754-circa 1844) - original settler of Clarke's Harbour, married to Letitia Doane. Discharged soldier and Loyalist who migrated to Clarke's Harbour following the Revolutionary War. Crowell lists his parents as Albert and Sarah Swim but no supporting documentation. 6. Letitia Eldredge - (b 1736 Chatham, Mass, d Barrington 26 Jul 1766) Oldest tombstone in Shelburne County, died in childbirth and was buried with her baby in her arms. No further record. 7. Cecilia Carr - (b. ?, d?) wife to Ephraim Swaine (1755-?), son of Chapman Swaine, supposedly daughter of bandsman from Manchester England according to Crowell but no supporting documentation and very little information available. 8. Joseph W. Johnston or Johnson - (b bet 1791-1801, d. aft 12 Feb. 1877) married circa 1827, Sarah Elmena Chetwynd (1799-1892) lived in the Woods Harbour, Argyle area but no further information on who Joseph was or where he came from. 9. Robert Brown (b. circa 1755, Norfolk England, d 1838 Cape Sable Island m. 6 Nov 1795 Eunice Doty (1777-1828) came as a loyalist and discharged soldier to Shelburne. No further record 10. Thomas Chetwynd - (?-?) a loyalist from Staffordshire England, came originally to Shelburne then moved on to Arygyle. Unknown who married to. Conflicting information that he was a merchant in US and also a baker in the British Army (perhaps both). Born probably 1740 timeframe as he married in 1764. Died at the age of 94 but unknown when. 11. James McCoy - b 1764, Morayshire Scotland, d. 21 Oct. 1841 Cape Sable Island, m. 1788 Martha Eldredge (c. 1768, Chatham, Mass., d 03 Oct. 1808) settled Cape Sable Island, nothing further on his ancestry.
