I dimly recall something about the post-Revolution American Episcopalians "stealing" the apostolic succession by having their first bishop consecrated by a Scottish Episcopalian bishop because the Anglicans in England wouldn't cooperate.

My Warren, but you do come from a bunch of Reverends;0) I will glean what more there is on Rev. Robert ---- and "get back to you" It shouldn't be too hard to sift out as the book "Life of Philander Chase" is pretty much laid out chronological. This is ONE book I am not underlining and am treating it like the treasure it is;so might take a bit longer to pull the information out. Interesting term to me is that the authour Laura Chase Smith often in the book refers to the Episcopal Church as the American Church.

Well, don't get too breathless in Seattle <g>. It would take a major miracle for the Mariners to get past either the Yanks or the A's. And most likely it will be the A's with their ferocious pitching :-( The Wet Birds are 2-3, which isn't exactly what your multibillionaire owner Paul Allen hired Mike Holmgren to do. (I'm a Holmgren fan, BTW, and if anyone can pull it out, he can.) Dennis Erickson is getting a cool one mil for the last year of his Seahawk contract. One Swede replaced by another. Yrs aye, Warren Wetmore No ancestors played pro football :-) but (probably) a modern-day distant cuz, Tim Dwight of the Atlanta Dirty Birds. The DWIGHTs definitely were a CRV family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "quirkje" <quirkje@email.msn.com> To: <CT-RIVER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 11:49 PM Subject: Re: [CRV] Quiet List > Wellllllllll, I'd have to echo Fred's thoughts...not so much about the list > activity, but about those great Mariner's!!!! > > Us Seattle-ites have had few occasions to get excited, so we will enjoy > every minute....that is, before the Seahawk's game tomorrow!!!! > > Jane > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Fred Jones" <bugler103@home.com> > To: <CT-RIVER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 9:37 PM > Subject: [CRV] Quiet List > > > > I agree with Harriet.

Hello Listers: I am searching for information about Nathan Brown, b. abt 1800 in VT; married Sabrina Dutton, b. abt 1800 in VT. One record said Sabrina was born in Waterford, VT. I don't find it on my map. They had a son, William H. Brown, b. abt 1840 in Windsor, VT. On a census record I find Lucia Brown, b. abt 1828 in VT listed with this family.

I have gotten my greedy hands on a book, "Life of Philander Chase", Laura Chase Smith, 1903. The eventual Bishop Philander Chase of Ohio and the Illinois replaced Rev. Wetmore.

For those of you who, like me, are unfamiliar with the Flagg book I found this in the local on-line catalogue for my local library, Genealogical notes on the founding of New England. My ancestors part in that undertaking, by Ernest Flagg. Author: Flagg, Ernest, 1857- 3n Publisher: Hartford, The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co., 1926. Paging 2 p. l., 3-440 p. plates., facsims., coats of arms. 26 cm. Notes "300 copies printed." Genealogical research is always ongoing. Publications dates are very important. From the comments made in regards the Flagg book, we can see that errors were discovered in the works of earlier writers. When one is using secondary sources, it is always important to check the sources the author of the secondary source used researching their work. To me, the on going discussion of the Peck family shows one of the strengths of a list of this type, and one of the reasons for it's existence. No one should ever feel intimidated about creating such a discussion or feel they have to apologize for doing so. Even if the family is not ours, we can all benefit from the discussions in some way. Participating in discussions such as this by contributing information from source material that sometimes can only be found here in CT has helped me develop my research skills and learn about genealogical research materials. This is helping me find information on my family lines in other parts of the country. Just the other day I learned that my paternal grandmother, born in Canada, has a family line that goes back to Massachusetts in the mid 1600's. Phi or Wilma, Will one of you please post the dates Flagg gives for the date of Deacon Paul's children. I have Names and dates from the Hale, House, book by Jacobus and Waterman, published in 1952, ready to post. If there are discrepancies, the Peck researchers need to know it.
