Essentially the same information appears in "American Ancestry of L. Warren Church I -- Covering 44 New England Settler Families Including Karner, Younglove, Belden, Kellogg, and Terry" by Warren Church and Glenn W. Church (1984). I don't have the entire work, only copies of the title page and pages 58-63, which someone copied for me from an LDS microfiche. (Possibly anyone having access to a Family History Center could view or copy the same information there.) I did note a few small differences between the above work and Gail's posting which I have noted below, enclosed in [] marks. > >CHURCH: > >Rebecca CHURCH, b. ca 1654, d. 9 Jun 1726, m. 11 Feb 1666 (Check >out today's date!) to Joseph SELDEN, Bpt. 2 Nov 1651.

Medieval lines are being worked on and updated >often these days so it is important to keep checking the latest research >to keep the lines as accurate as possible. I would very much like to hear from anyone on the list, or any of the CCs to this message, who might have additional (or more accurate) info. on this lineage. Higginson Book Co. also lists copies of several other books re. the CHURCH line, but I don't know if any of them would contain additional or more-reliable information. Do any of you? BTW, in case anyone is interested, my line is from Mary CHURCH, sister of the above Edward (1628-1704.) According to the above authors (p.63) this Mary was b. Nov 2, 1632; d. 9 Jun 1695; ma. Sergeant Isaac GRAVES. One of their dau.Mehitable GRAVES ma. (2nd) William WORTHINGTON of Colchester (CT?). They were my ggggg-grandparents. > >Here is a site to East Haddam.
