Hello new list! Id like to start right off with a search for Henry LAWRENCE, (we think) father of Benjamin, Jonathan and Polly LAWRENCE, who all married BAILEYS who say on their census records that they were born in Hadam, Conn. In 1814 there were three LAWRENCES recorded together on the tax records in Tioga county, PA: Henry LAWRENCE, age 46, Jonathan LAWRENCE, age 24, and Benjamin LAWRENCE, age 28, so we know that they had left CT by 1814, & we are hoping to locate where they came from, and think it will be near Hadam, because of their marriages to the BAILEYS from Hadam. Father: Henry LAWRENCE age 46 in 1814 (born about 1768?) Mother: ?? Children: Three LAWRENCES married three BAILEYS : LAWRENCE BAILEY Benjamin b 14 Aug 1786 CT m Aseneth b Apr 1790 Hadam, CT Polly CT m Griffin Hadam, CT Jonathan CT m Betsey Hadam, CT All LAWRENCES and Baileys were married in and lived in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, and founded Lawrence Corners in Rutland Township, PA. Benjamin and Aseneth (BAILEY) LAWRENCE known children: John Norris Lawrence b 11 Jul. 1822 Tioga County, PA William Lawrence b 1829 Tioga county, PA We have lost contact with the Lawrence descendants that we feel sure are still living in and around Tioga county, PA and Elmira, NY.

LDS records list Simon Hoffman b. 27 Oct. 1775 in Middlesex, CT. Hartford, CT record show his marriage to Chloe Bunce 1 Oct. 1795. LDS information about their children is correct. I assume LDS is correct that Simon's parents were Simon b. abt. 1749 in Middletown and Mary Butler b. 1753 in Middletown. Does anyone have the Simon Hoffmans or Mary Butler in their lineage? Thank you for checking. Glenna Bird
Glad to see this list for Middlesex county alive and well! Sharing information on the REDFIELD and related families, mostly from Killingworth and vicinity. Ray

Super! So the Samuel and Phebe HALL that Jane found in Old Riverside Cemetery are your direct ancestors. What's more, you're a "pure" Hall, straight male-line descent from Old Capt. John -- first of those I've run across. Now I have four Hall cuzzies in my cuz file. And -- lucky you! -- you're kin to everyone with the surname WETMORE in the Western Hemisphere. :-) We all desc from John/1's only daughter Sarah. So if you happen to run across B. Wetmore in Lynnwood, confuse the heck out of him or her by saying, "Hi, Cuz!"

That would be > Beriah (1658 - 1756), one of Thomas' sons. Hi, Cousin Donna -- Apparently ALL of the grandsons used WETMORE. And in the records of Middletown the name appears variously as Wetmer, Wettmer, Wettmor, and other variations on that theme, from Jane Devlin's posts of marriage and birth records on CT-MIDDLESEX-L. Old Tom used WHITMORE in his will. I'm not aware of earlier instances of his using this spelling. His brother Francis's descendants kept that spelling. Who knows why the change in our line? I've suspected that WHITMORE was adopted, and the earlier spelling was more like WETMORE, though there are so few WETMOREs in the UK (16, I believe) as to raise suspicion that it was some other name that was used earlier. We have a BRICK WALL here, kinfolks! And about the connection to Francis Whitmore of Cambridge: Before I ever read Savage on the topic, I saw that Francis Jr's turning up in Middletown in 1670 was strong evidence that Old Tom and Francis Sr. were brothers. Of all the towns in all of New England (sounds like Bogart in "Casablanca"), why else would Jr. pick Midltn except to be near relatives? Yet there are many doubters that John WHITMORE was the father of the two. To my knowledge, no will of John's has ever surfaced. Did he die intestate after suffering an overdose of tomahawk in 1648? Yet Tom & John apparently were in Wethersfield and Hartford at the same time. Coincidence? Any road, the much-bruited connection with Sir George Whitmore appears bogus. Someone was "claimin' kin." Best, Warren

It's now 70 years after the author died. Unless the copyright had already expired during the postmortem 50 years that was in effect before the law was changed to add 20 years.

>From Jane Devlin's Middletown Marriages: > Samuell Willcock & Abigaill Whitmore 9 May 1683 Who was she? Too old to be a d/o Francis Whitmore Jr., I think. And too old to be Abigail, d/o Thomas Wetmore/ Whitmore and Katherine Leete/Leeke Robards, his 3d wife. Antony Martin & Mary Halle 7 Mar 1660/1 Mary was the daughter of Richard Halle Was Richard the son of John/1 Hall of Middletown? This marriage seems a bit early for a grandson of John Sr. Best, Warren
