It appears to be out of business for good since it was hacked over a year ago. Savage's Dictionary text files can still be found at http://www.usigs.org/library/books/ma/savage/savage.htm Debbie's and my Web-based (HTML) version of Savage at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/vt/state/savage/ currently is VERY slow to load -- usgennet is revamping its servers and installing another T-1 connection to the Net.

Surnames: STEBBINS, GILMORE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/394 Message Board Post: Seeking any STEBBINS family information and dates regarding Anna STEBBINS and her CT family. She married Gawin Gilmore (aka: Gawen, Gowin, etc.) of Acworth, NH sometime between about 1807 and 1819 (best guess). Anna & Gawin lived in Acworth, Sullivan Co., NH. They had at least 3 daughters together: Sally Ann, Caltha, and Nancy (b. 1819). All born in NH. Anna supposedly came from Old Saybrook, CT. She was Gawin's second wife, following the death of his first, Sally Grout in June of 1807. So far, I have had no luck in locating her CT family. Any details or leads are much appreciated. Her daughter, Nancy Gilmore is my gg-grandmother.

Thanks to Jane for the work of entering the Barbour collection on Middletown. I am presuming , based on the list, that his parents are Mancah and Hannah Woodward Hubbard. But Joseph appears to have been a very popular name. Would somebody suggest how to be sure I have the correct parents> Thank you Sue

Is there SKS that could check the Middletown census for me? It would be the years 1885 and 1895. From the years 1887-1891 I have his address as Durham Avenue in Middletown. Hoping he was there before 1887 or after 1891. Many thanks for any help you can give me. Kind regards, Linda Rondou Burnsville, MN

Warren, Thanks for the information on the website etc. I'll check it out and see what else jumps out at me. Dona

I just uploaded the second half of the Hartford Barbour records for surnames beginning with the letter B. Once again, these are available thanks to the hard work of Coralynn Brown who has been doing the transcribing. Enjoy.. Jane list mom http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/

And Francis/2 had a Francis/3, just to confuse matters. :-) But no Elizabeths. Francis/1 died 1685, aet. 60. His eldest child Elizabeth/2 b. 1649 m. Daniel MARKHAM -- rings a bell; was he a Middletown guy? Francis/3 m. Mary CORNWELL and had an Elizabeth/4 b. Apr. 12, 1716. | I, too, have the information on Elizabeth, b Middletown 20 Mar 1686 (Barbour | Collection), daughter of John Wetmore & second wife Mary Savage. Mary married | John 1 Apr 1686 in Middletown, and after John's death in 1696 married Obadiah | Allen. I don't have other children listed for either marriage, though there | probably were some. I think Eliz/3 was b. 1687. Savage's Dictionary has this: "JOHN, Middletown, eldest son of the first Thomas, married 30 Dec. 1680, Abigail, eldest daughter of Andrew Warner, had Thomas, born Apr. 1682; and Abigail, 2 May 1685, both died young; and his wife died 5 May 1685. He married 1 Apr. foll. Mary, daughter of John Savage of the same, had Elizabeth 20 Mar. 1687; Mary, 18 Jan. 1692, died young; John, 21 May 1694; and Ebenezer, posthum. 17 Sept. 1696. He had made his will 6 Aug. 1689, and died 31 Aug. 1696; and his widow married Obadiah Allen." PS: I believe there are descendants of Ebenezer living today. | For the other Elizabeth, daughter of John Whitmore & Abigail Warner, I have | only a death date of 31 Jan 1743. Looking back at A.W. Savage's references | for his facts on this Elizabeth, I find he cites Adams, "Middletown Upper | Houses", p 159, for the death date and Savage, "Family of John Savage", p 10, | for her parentage and first marriage to Daniel Clark. | | As for Francis Wetmore Sr, in his will he does mention a daughter Elizabeth, | amongst others. | | I take it you're suggesting that these Elizabeths are the same, and the John | Whitmore/Wetmores mentioned are the same, leading to the question of which | wife was mother of Elizabeth--Abigail Warner (first wife) or Mary Savage | (second wife). Exactly! There were several John/3 WETMOREs, but their dates are wrong. Susan replied with good information on the Elizabeths and the | various marriages. I really have no other information to add. But I'd like to | ask where is that online version of the Wetmore genealogy? Okay -- it was scanned by various and put up by a British WHITMORE, Derek. His site: http://www.btinternet.com/~derek.whitmore/freedown.htm which of course mainly features WHITMORE materials, including the W.H. WHITMORE genealogy of the desc. of Francis/1. You'll want "The Wetmore Family of America and its Collateral Branches" by J. C. Wetmore. 768 kB, zipped. File is called Wetmem.zip. I think it's in Rich Text Format, which you can open with Windows WordPad or MS Word. I haven't checked it against the hard copy. The WH WHITMORE genealogy has at least one other child of Francis/1 moving to CT: Thomas/2 who lived in Killingly. But had no dau. Elizabeth.
