Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/Fairfield/3256 Surname: WATERMAN, DEBOBEN, HOPE, SCHOEN ------------------------- Dana, I have seen three rolls of LDS microfilm that provide some vital records from Danbury. Have not yet been able to get copies of original certificates. However, I am checking into a Waterman connection. To make a long story short, I found an Adolph Hope in these records and believe he *may* be the brother to my greatgrandfather's first wife. Adolph Hope (born 1860 New York City) married Mary Waterman (born abt. 1858 in Danbury, died 1903) in 1886 in Danbury, Fairfield County. Mary's parents: Ezra Waterman and Mary Haggerty, both of Danbury. They had at least 5 children: Adolph Jr. (1890-1902), Bertha (1892-1893), Mable (1894- ), Mathilde (1896- ), Lawrence (1898- ). Does this Waterman have any connection to yours? Pat Tampa

I have him as far back as residing in Haverstraw Precinct, ORANGE (NOW ROCKLAND) COUNTY, NY --will was written Dec, 12, 1774. Probably came to that area between 1720 and 1740 and died around 1775-85. His sons, Jacob, Isaac, and James were also in the area and fought in the Revolutionary War. If anyone has further info on these people, it would be great as I have hit a dead end on where John Parker came from, who HIS parents were, etc. The three sons left the area around 1800-1810 and moved onto Ontario Co, NY. Thanks for any help you can give. Bill Parker parkwp@earthlink.net

Hello again~~~ I want to thank each and every one who answered my plea, for your time and generosity. We have a winner here!!! who shall remain anonymous unless he/she wants to speak up - Ha! They cited this for me, and I was able to check it out in FTM GenLibrary. This is, indeed, a wonderful book, and there's more here than what's shown. According to Donald Lines Jacobus, HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD, Vol. 1, p. 62, Joseph Benedict, son of John and Phebe (Gregory) Benedict, "m. (2) 21 Mar. 1720/1, Mary (Groom), widow of Samuel Pitman of Stratford." And, on p. 244 of the same volume, Jacobus states that Mary Groom was the daughter of Edward and Miriam (Wheeler) Groom, and continues: "Mary, b. 19 Nov. 1690; m. (1) 23 Nov. 1716. Samuel Pitman; m. (2) [21 Mar. 1720/1]. Joseph Benedict, of Ridgefield. She was the "daughter Benedict" mentioned in will of her father-in-law Jonathan Pitman. In 1727 Joseph Benedict and Mary his wife of Ridgefield conveyed to brother Zechariah Blackman of Stratford, land that descended from Moses Wheeler, Sr." Jacobus, the foremost authority on Fairfield Co. genealogies, can be considered credible source documentation." This Benjamin and Mary Groom are going to play havoc with what I had previously done, but I'd rather have it redone now than way down the road. Thanks again to one and all - Happy Hunting, Dolores ---------
