Hello Roger; The following is taken from Judd's History of Hadley 1905: GAYLORD, William, s. of Samuel, b. May 5, 1711 rem. from Hadley to S.H. (South Hadley), and d. Aug. 20, 1798. M. 1733, Elizabeth SCOVILL. Children- Elizabeth, b. Aug. 31, 1734; Mary, b. Jan 7, 1735; Catherine, b. Nov. 8, 1737, m. Dec.22, 1762, Ezekial Day of West Springfield, and d. Sept. 28, 1824, ae. 86; William; Oliver, b. Dec. 7, 1740; Nathaniel, b. Sept. 8, 1742; Eliphalet, b. Oct. 28, 1744; Meribah, b. July 3, 1746, m.________Ashley; Ebenezer, b. Sept. 12, 1749. WIlliam GAYLORD, FATHER of Samuel, came to Hadley after being born in Windsor, Ct in 1651. There is no mention of any CAREW in Hadley or a marriage of Mary GAYLORD to anyone in Hadley. Perhaps you should focus on SOUTH Hadley as that is where the family removed to. Good Luck! Micki L. Sanderson

I am looking for information on Mary GAYLORD b. 7 Jan 1735 in Hadley, MA dau of William b. 1704 and Elizabeth SCOVILL b. abt 1714 both of Hadley, MA. I am looking to verify her marriage of 17 April 1762 to Joseph CAREW. Does anyone have information on this Mary & Joseph? Thanks Roger

In light of pwallred's posting of the Parsons Family in the CRV I thought some folks would be interested in Gerald James Parsons Book, The English Ancestry and Descendants to the Sixth Generation of Cornet Joseph Parsons (1620-1683). It is available from the Parsons Family Association. All pertinent information may be obtained off CRV from Robert Heath, Historian PFA at [email protected] Bob Heath

" Gretna Green" is a town on the border of England and Scotland.....there was a blacksmith there who married folks.......especially those that eloped when they had arranged marriages by the parents. Vernon is no Gretna Green in that sense.....Vernon is located on the border of Vermont and Mass.on route 142.....SOUTH Vernon was part of Northfield,Mass until around 1749. As far as why so many from Mass married in Vernon.......could be number of reasons..... 1. Vermont marriage laws were not as strict as the old Bay State 2. settlers migrating..... 3. elopements....some probably did -- 1806.... you'd write to the Vernon town clerk......for marriage record...

A number of my Franklin County, Massachusetts relatives (including my great grandparents, in 1867) were married at Vernon, Vermont when there was, to my knowledge, no family reason for this. Was Vernon a kind of local Gretna Green, a place to elope to? Are there records of these marriages in their Town Clerk's office? The earliest date I'm interested in is 1806.
