This is to supplement Penny's message below: All of the counties of Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin were Hampshire County from 1662 until: Franklin County 1811 Hampden Co. 1812 Also there is the Probate Court of Springfield if you cannot locate info you seek in the Northampton or Greenfield. Cynthia List Adm.for Ma-Bay-Colony@rootsweb.com Bunnydust@comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Pennington Geis To: MAHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com Hampshire County is the "mother county" in western Mass. Franklin County split off -- hmm -- can't remember the year right now. But Wendell was once part of Hampshire County and is now in Franklin County. Birth and death records are kept by the town clerk in Massachusetts. The Hampshire/Franklin Court District has courthouses in both Greenfield (Franklin County) and Northampton (Hampshire County). Records for events that occurred while Hampshire County encompassed the entire area are probably still in the Northampton Courthouse. There is a card file in the office of the Superior Court in Northampton that indexes most court actions by last name.

Killed by lighting standing in his doorway (the house being about where the Capital now is). Last Saturday, about 4 p.m., Capt. Israel Seymour, of this city, was instantly killed by lightning. The lightning first struck the chimney, the dividing, one branch descended by the side of chimney, forcing its way thro' the garret into a closet in the chamber, the door of which of which it burst open and shattered, where it was probably attracted by two muskets, that stood by the door. From this it proceeded to the kitchen and penetrated the hearth. The other branch divided and was conducted down the roof by two rafters, which it shattered, below these, it seems to have been united & conducted by a stud, directly over the front door where Capt. Seymour was standing. The quantity of electricity that passed through his body was very great, as is evident from several marks of violence, especially from his shoes, both of which, tho' new, were burst open. Several persons who were in the room were affected by the shock, particularly Mr. Alderman Bull, and Mr. Root who received a slight injury. In the death of Capt. Seymour, the public have lost a valuable citizen, his acquaintances a benevolent friend, his wife a kind husband, and his mother an only son. On Sunday a Sermon suitable to the occasion was preached by the Rev. Mr. Boardman, before the two congregations in this city, and the funeral of the deceased attended with due solemnity, Tuesday, August 17, 1784. (Mr. Boardman's sermon was published the next month.)

Melville Reuben Webster, D.D. 1st Edition, Published by Endless Genealogies, St. Paul, printed by: E. R. Andrews Printing Co., Rochester, N. Y. 1915. p. 60. John removed to West Hartford, about 1731-2, and from there to New Hartford, about 1750, where he died July 25, 1758. He had 20 children. He held several town offices. 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. 66. John Seymour settled first at Hartford, where eight of his children were baptized at the Second Church. Shortly after 1730 he removed to the West Parish of Hartford, now West Hartford. There he lived on the corner where the middle orad to West Hartford intersects "Quaker Lane." To this road he seems to have given his name, since it was long known as "the John Seymour road." He was elected in 1731 an inspector of staddle wood, and again in 1732, 1733 and 1737; leather-sealer, 1739 and 1742; inspector of wood, 1739, 1740, 1743 and 1744; hayward, 1740; and Constable, 1741. Staddle-wood (an Americanism) was a term applied to standing trees between four and eighteen inches in diameter. The annual election by that small community of an inspector of wood shows the force of the English traditions by which they were controlled. The Hartford of that time was of course surrounded by forests, but this did not prevent its citizen from adopting regulations for the conservation of the timber resources of the colony, and these regulations had their origin in England, where he scarcity of timber had been felt long before the settlement of New England and where stringent regulations for its preservation were already in force. On Dec. 17, 1741, it was voted that John Seymour Junr., "have liberty to take, upon lease, a piece of land upon the Town Commons, for the purpose of sinking Tanfatts therein." About 1750 (he was then fifty-six years of age), or it may have been earlier, he removed to New Hartford, then a frontier settlement, where his father, who was at this time alive, owned a large tract of land, the greater portion of which he gave or bequeathed to him. Here he lived in that part of the town known as West Hill, and here "Mr. John Seymour departed this Life July 25, 1758" (New Hartford Town Records). His grandson William Seymour, of Fredonia, New York, who as a small boy saw him, remembered that he had "a cancer in his jaws and face." John SEYMOUR and Hannah ENSIGN were married on 7 MAY 1733 in West Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. 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. 69. The births of all the children of the second wife (Hannah Ensign) are recorded at New Hartford, but their baptisms are found in the West Hartford church records. It is evident, therefore that West Hartford was the place of their birth, and that the family record was entered in the New Hartford town records after the removal of the family to that place about 1750. 5. Hannah ENSIGN was born on 19 JAN 1711/12 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. She died before 3 JAN 1778 in New Hartford, Litchfield, Connecticut.
