I found some interesting information that confuses me though, which is a John Glossenger in southern Michigan (Berrien County) who was listed in the 1860 census and beyond. In the 1860 census he had married a Regina Griess/Griebb, born in Wurtemburg, Germany, aged 25 at the time of the census, and he was listed as being 39 years old and being born in Massachusetts. Later census records have his birthplace listed as Connecticut, indicating that perhaps a different person answered the census taker about family origins. He had several children, including Oscar Glossenger, my GGG-grandfather. I have found records of Lyle, Marvin, Oscar, Edwin, Gladys, Jesse, and some other Glossengers in the southern Michigan area.

I would be very grateful to someone who lives in Norwich and who has a digital camera who would be willing to take some photos of gravestones in a family lot at Maplewood Cemetery and email them to me as photo attachments. My father died in 1938 and my mother remarried and moved away, so I have not lived in CT and have had a difficult time trying to get information. I recently discovered that I have six family members buried in a family burial lot. The cemetery management provided a diagram showing the locations of graves in Section 8, Block C, Lot 5. Other than the comfort of seeing my father's grave, there may be information on the gravestones that will be helpful to me. Location: 1. John Thomas Broadhurst, my grandfather 2. Elizabeth M Broadhurst, my grandmother 3. Joseph J. C. Broadhurst, my father 4. Harriet A. Miller (sister to my grandmother) 5. Herbert C Broadhurst, my uncle 6. Irene Broadhurst, my aunt Also, another relative is buried in the same cemetery in a different location -- Mary Smith Manning, my great-grandmother, mother of Elizabeth, is buried in Section 11, Block C, Lot 2. An interesting comment in the letter from the cemetery was that since I have the deed to the family lot, I am entitled to six additional cremation burials in the family lot, and I am now considering that for myself. That will probably be the only way I will get to Norwich! With gratitude... Arthur G Broadhurst 820 Carolina Circlw SW Vero Beach, Florida 32962 http://www.broadhurst-family.org

I am wondering whether Lodice is the same person as Dise Corliss, b. Jan 23, 1757 in Norwich, CT - parents: Timothy Corliss and Ann Willoughby. While the towns are fairly distant from each other, there is a connection. Dise had an older brother, Bliss, who married Phebe Wright, (widow of Joseph Kibbe, a distant cousin of Jedidiah) in 1775 and apparently relocated to Somers, CT. Around 1776, both he and Jedidiah enlisted as privates in Somers, CT and served in the CT Line (DAR). Does anybody have information to support or refute this theory? Any help would be appreciated!

Surnames: ROEBUCK Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XZ.2ADE/1452 Message Board Post: Hi there everyone, Are there any ROEBUCK's out there ???? Mary Ann WRIGHT, a G G Aunt of mine, married Henry ROEBUCK in Sheffield, England in 1855. It would seem that Henry and Mary Ann, together with their children, John, Mary Ann, George, Ann Elizabeth and Henry, emigrated to the USA, sometime between 1871 and 1881. Later entries through Ellis Island give two intesesting listings. 1. Henry ROEBUCK aged 67 yrs. arrive August 02, 1899, on a ship called the Teutonic. He is described as being a US Citizen but his residence is given as Sheffield. 2. John ROEBUCK aged 47 yrs. arrived September 02, 1904, on a ship called the Baltic. He is described as being a US Citizen with his residence as being Burrowles ( Burrow Lees was his residence in Sheffield, England). However, on the ship's Manifest, his adress is said to be Burrowlee R and Bostick Street, Lakeville ( Conn. ) Any information on possible links would be greatly welcome. With best wishes Keith Wright Sheffield England
