I am trying to find the ancestors of Mary Weld b. March 30, 1667 married 1st to David Alexander who was killed at Deerfield 1704. Mary was taken captive, returned and married Samuel Smead b. 1669 who family was also killed that day. According to Sheldon (see below) she was the daughter of Daniel Weld, b. 1642. Again according to Sheldon he was probably the son of Joseph of Roxbury, and that he married Mary Hinsdale. According to Savage Daniel of Roxbury son of Joseph was a Dr. who married m. Bethia, sec. d. of Edward Mitchelson, and was possibly the father of Mary b. Feb 19, 1676. But the good Dr. Daniel Weld has the same birthday Dr. Daniel Weld b. 18 Sep 1642 (within a few days) as the father of Mary Weld who married Mary Hinsdale.

A History of The Seymour Family - Descendants of Richard Seymour of Hartford, Connecticut, Compiled by George Dudley Seymour & Donald Lines Jacobus, printed by the Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor Company, New Haven Connection, 1939. p. 146. Captain Samuel Seymour, as he was always called, made an application for a pension under the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832, and there is on file in the Pension Office at Washington, an interesting affidavit made by him detailing his services in the Revolutionary War. That affidavit is too long to copied in full, but the substance of it is as follows: He says that on the 3d day of May, 1834, he was a resident of Litchfield and eighty years of age, having been born at Hartford, January 21, 1754; that in December, 1775, he enlisted in Hartford for two months' service to go to the City of New York in a company commanded by Capt. Abram Sedgwick, Lt. Joseph Skinner and Ensign Peleg Heath; that the regiment was commanded by Col. David Waterbury; that he marched immediately towards New York, and arrived at Stamford where they halted in consequence of information received that Gov. Tryon had threatened to burn the City of New York if the American troops attempted to enter it. A messenger was sent to Gen. Washington to know whether the troops should march on or return. Having received orders to march, they went to the City of New York where the Company remained two months and was then dismissed, and he returned to Hartford. In the Fall of '76, he removed to Litchfield, and in December of that year he again enlisted in a company of troops commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Goodwin, Lt. Alex. Waugh and Ensign Ozias Goodwin, commanded by Col. Hooker, Lt. Col. Jesse Root and Maj. Hills; that he marched from Litchfield with said Company to the lines in Westchester County where he was stationed at different places, and was engaged at the Battle of King's Bridge, was also stationed at Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, etc. When the term of enlistment of the Company had expired, they were requested by their superior officers to remain longer, which they did. in this service he was in New York for a period of two months and seven days; that he received no written discharge, but was dismissed by verbal discharge from the officer in command. In April, 1777, word having been received at Litchfield that the British had landed at Compo and were marching towards Danbury to destroy the stores there, Captain Seymour marched with a company under the command of Eaton Jones, who was formerly a Lieutenant in the Company, before daylight on the following morning after the alarm was given. When they arrived at Danbury, they found that the British had burned it and were retreating towards their ships. He with his company pursued them towards Ridgefield where he was under the personal command of Gen. Wooster until he was wounded; they pursued the enemy towards Long Island Sound and had quite a skirmish with them at a place called Chestnut Ridge in which two of the Litchfield Company were wounded; they then pursued them to Compo River and on Compo Hill had another skirmish with the British in which Paul Peck and another of the Litchfield company were killed. After the embarkation of the British, the company marched back to Litchfield and were dismissed; he was engaged eight days in this service at this time. Immediately after he was elected Sergeant of the company commanded by Capt. Miles Beach, and almost constantly thereafter he was called upon to go with a file of men to guard ammunition, provisions, etc., which were sent forward from Litchfield, which was then an important military depot of supplies, to the American Army on the lines near New York and the Hudson River; that in the year 1777, he was detached from his company and ordered to march in command of a guard of men to defend a trainload of ammunition sent from Litchfield to the North River; that almost constantly during the years 1777, 1778 and 1779 he was engaged in this business as commander of a company of guards. That in the Summer of 1778, an officer of the French Army deserted from the troops at Newport, R.I., and was pursued through Connecticut, and as Captain of a troop in pursuit of such officer, he (Seymour) pursued him across the Houstonic River and captured him, bringing him back as a prisoner. That in the forepart of July, 1779, at the New Haven Alarm, as an officer in Capt. Beach's Company, he marched to New Haven in defense of that town, but arrived too late to participate in any actual engagement. In June, 1780, he went as an officer under Capt. Ephraim Harrison to Peekskill on the North River to defend the country in that neighborhood from an apprehended attack by the British, who, it was supposed, were about to sail up the river for that purpose. In December, 1781, in command of guard, he marched with some deserters who had fled from the American Army to Litchfield back to West Point. Capt. Samuel SEYMOUR and Rebecca OSBORN were married on 20 JUN 1788 in Litchfield, Litchfield, Connecticut.

Hi again, Cynthia. Thanks once again. More of my ancestor/old relatives. Paul of San Diego

I am trying to locate any infotmation concerning the families of Azuba Pierpont and Gordon Smith who were married in Rowe, Mass. on 10 July 1796. I believe that Azuba's father, Hezekiah, was from Ct. and emigrated from there about 1792. Thank you, Bob Jolin.

I don't remember for sure, but there might be maps in the History of Hadley by Judd.

Does anyone know of a map that shows the Lots (Numbers, etc) of the Original Proprietors of Hadley MA? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search

Have uploaded the old " Ware Center Cemetery" located on Greenwich Road,Ware. This is a small cemetery but has several old families buried here. http://cyndy.smugmug.com/gallery/29814/1 --------- I was at another cemetery in Ware today , will post it next week ( 4 rolls) Cynthia List Adm.for Ma-Bay-Colony@rootsweb.com Bunnydust@comcast.net

I am looking for information on Roxanna ROSS b. 6 Mar 1764 in Windsor, CT d/o of John ROSS (b. abt 1737) & Patience DENSLOW. Patience was b. 1740 in Windsor, CT d/o Samuel and Sarah (CHAPMAN) DENSLOW. I am trying to prove whether or not this Roxanna may have been married to Joel COOK, Jr. (b. 1763; d. 1801 in Wintonbury, CT) s/o of Ens. Joel COOK & Sarah PINNEY. After the death of Joel COOK, Jr. widow Roxy is mentioned in the probate of his estate. Widow Roxy COOK later married Samuel WILSON (1754 -1832) who was s/o of Joel WILSON & Abigail LOOMIS. Roxy __ (COOK) WILSON died in 1827 at age 63 in Bloomfield, CT. The WILSON Genealogy suggests that Roxy was Rosana CLARK b. 1753; d. 1793 and d/o David & Rachel CLARK! But that Roxana married Reuben PHELP, so that does not add up! This has been quite a mystery to determine who the parents are of Roxy __ COOK (WILSON)! Roger

I'm sorry, but I don't seem to be able to find the surname search function. Can someone direct me to it? Thanks.

I highly recommend this library located in the Conn. Valley Historical Museum at the Springfield Quadrangle. They are very strong on New England genealogy as well as hold a vast collection of Quebec marriage transcriptions. <A HREF="http://www.quadrangle.org/CVHM.htm">http://www.quadrangle.org/CVHM.htm</A> Also, a new Family History Center is supposed to be opening in Ludlow in the new Mormon Church this month.
