Jay, Thanks so very much for this - that was my request that you refer to. Since then, another person provided me with the link from James Convis back to Edward Converse, but this adds some confermation and a few more leads on other branches. Thanks again, Stephen Jay A.

Several months ago someone on the list contacted me looking for information about the ancestry of James Converse of Rhode Island, ca mid 1700s. Since that time, I did happen upon information about this individual at the below web site. They could contact me or the owner of the web site for more documentation on this James converse. http://burgoyne.com/pages/adgedge/CONVIS.htm Jay Cary

James and Lucy Grovene (Vail) Converse had the following: James Vail; Grovene Vail b. Aug. 21, 1894 in Millbrook, Dutchess Co., m. George Aranyi, 1916 NYC and Massey (male) b. Oct. 20, 1919. Anyone know relatives or descendants of this family? Thanks, Barbara

I'm new to the Converse List, but I have been trying to track down the Converse family and descendants of Sallie Converse and George Vredenburgh for some time. Sallie Converse, b. July 1802 to Elias Converse and Sarah Burrows married George Vredenburgh, one of the first residents of Montezuma, Cayuga County, NY sometime shortly after 1819. Their marriage was the first in Savannah Township, Wayne County, NY and their child was also the first in that township. You can see Sallie's lineage on my webpage at: http://userzweb.lightspeed.net/~vredenb/gedcom/g0000010.html#I47 I have a paper which discusses this family (and other Vredenburgh's) which begins at: http://userzweb.lightspeed.net/~vredenb/wmv01.htm#WILLIAM AND HIS DESCENDANTS Would like to talk to anyone who knows anything about this family. THANKS!! Larry Vredenburgh

Searching for information about Mary CONVERSE, who was born in Lorraine, Jefferson, NY, probably somewhere around 1820-1830. She married Charles B. HALL. They had at least one child, Lillian Love HALL, who was born 19 November 1853 in Toldeo, Lucas, Ohio. This family may have removed to Michigan, because in 1875, Lillian married Norman H. RUDE in Saginaw, Saginaw, Michigan. Any information would be much appreciated. ...Barb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Barbara C.

I have information on the last four children but nothing on the first eight. He also had a brother Henry who also lived in Northfield Twp., Washington County, Vermont in the early 1800's. I found two children listed for him and Susannah, Betsey and Reuben. Thanks a bunch! Marie Bouic

Hey folks, I'm going to be away from the computer a bit the next week or so. I'm planning to go to the Four Corners Ancestor Fair in Springdale, Arkansas on Memorial Day weekend. I hope to see a few of you there! After that, I have a few lectures and on June 6, I'll be at the North Arkansas Ancestor Fair. Sooooooo, please, oh please, let's all get along. :) My wise old grandmother once told me never talk politics or religion unless you want to hear a debate! Let's just stick to genealogy...it seems to be a safe subject. (Sometimes!) Anyway, thank you guys for all of your support. I can't tell you how much fun these lists are to me!

Hey guys, There have been a couple of comments made privately about my request for contributions for the lists. 1. NO ONE has to contribute for any of these lists to stay around. The last posting certainly was not meant as a ultimatum...it was just an email to raise funds for RootsWeb. 2. I am NOT a owner of RootsWeb. I know it's confusing. I am the "owner" of this list and several others but really the title ought to be "list manager." I just started these lists and I try to keep the bad addresses to a minimum to avoid extra strain on the server. 3. I receive NO money from RootsWeb. In fact, I just sent them $100 as my contribution. :) I hope that clears up a couple of things for folks. I know, it's kind of like magic that these wonderful emails appear in your box but there really is "a man behind the curtain" so to speak. :) Thanks!

Hello Converse researchers, I am new to this list, and was hoping to read a few queries before I posted mine, but since our listowner has requested some activity, I thought I would start asking for help. I am looking for Ruth CONVERSE who married into my FLAGG line. Wilmington, MA VRs, page 117, marriages: Ruth Converse of Woburn and Ephraim Flagg of Wilmington, ____, 1757. Woburn Record of Marriages, page 60: Ruth Converse of Woburn and Ephraim Flagg of Wilmington, ____, 1757. My guess is that Ruth is connected to Edward CONVERSE (bap 1588-1663) and his wife, Sarah PARKER. I think she must have been the daughter of one of his sons or grandsons. Now Josiah CONVERSE, son of Maj. James CONVERSE (1645-1706) had a daughter, Ruth, born 28 July 1714 in Woburn, MA, but that seems awfully old to be my Ruth. She would have been 43 at her marriage. She had at least 2 children (that I know of), Ebenezer and Gershom, before Ruth and Ephraim moved to Mason, NH. I have been looking at Middlesex Deeds 1711-1721 for CONVERSE records. I have found a number of land deeds involving Ruth Converse and James Converse, and Ruth / Josiah as grantors. Also, Josiah's estate in 1751 and Ruth as a grantor in 1751. Can't figure who this Ruth is. Is anyone else working on a Ruth CONVERSE, Josiah CONVERSE, Robert CONVERSE, James CONVERSE, or others from Woburn, Wilmington or Middlesex County? Would like to compare with anyone on this problem. Thanks, Rhett Regina Owings georgeo@earthlink.net
