The baptisms of the First Church of New London for the Leeds name are not conclusive as to connection and might indicate only four children. There is a large gap in the baptisms of those named Leeds. There was a long period when baptisms were not given. There was no minister between late 1683 to late 1691. Hope this helps some. This is all I have on this branch.

CTNEWLON-L Listers: I've been on "vacation" from this list, basically since November 2001 because I was unable to use the computer much, because of reasons of health. These are the families, which I am currently researching: Green/Greene, Gallup, Crary, Stanton, MacWithey/Withey & others. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/Surnames8.html My most recent ancestor from Griswold, New London Co., CT is my Grandmother, Orrie Emily GREENE (1856-1940), CT>IA>OR, daughter of Benajah Samuel GREENE, Griswold, CT>IA m.

My "Brick Wall" is Mary M, wife of William GREENE and mother of Benajah Samuel GREENE -- she possibly from another Green/Greene family or from family with a "surname of M....."! Hale Collection for Green Cemetery, Griswold, CT has "Mary M., wife of Wm., died March 19, 1892, age 80 yrs.,8 mo., 19 days". William GREEN and his ancestral line of GREEN/GREENEs are listed in: "Descendents of Joseph Greene of Westerly, RI also Other Branches of The Greenes of Quidnesset, or Kinston, RI, and other Lines of Greenes in America" by Frank L.

OR their son, William Gardiner (Gardner)b: abt 1783 d: abt 1870 who married a Susan (Susannah) James? It is said that William & Susan were living in Exeter, RI and then later moved into the Voluntown/Griswold/Sterling area. They had 2 sons that I know of: Robert James Gardiner b:1805 in Exeter, RI and a Samuel Boon Gardiner b:1808. Samuel Boon Gardiner married Eleanor Bliven and their daughter Almira Gardiner (married Rev. Edwin Bennett) was born in Sterling, CT. Robert James Gardiner married Amey A. Bliven (yes, Amey & Eleanor are siblings). I'm trying to prove that William Gardiner & Mary Boone are the parents of William Gardiner who married Susan James. The only thing I have to go on is a DAR lineage book that mentions Almira Gardiner in it, however, once I contacted the DAR Society, they say they have no listing for either of my 2 William Gardiners. But according to lineage book, it states that William Gardiner who married Mary Boon was a Capt. in the Revolutionary War. There is no record of either William in the Exeter, RI town records except for the death of Robert James Gardiner which state his parents as William Gardiner and Susan James. Sound confusing yet? Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me clear up this mystery. ~Melinda

Surnames: HARRISON TIFFANY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XZ.2ADE/784.824.1 Message Board Post: China HARRISON was born about 1784. We know that Elihu HARRISON and Abigail TIFFANY likely had one or more daughters based on the 1790 and 1800 census for Lyme, New London, CT. The 1790 census shows 2 males 16 and over, 2 males under 16, 2 females (wife & dau.), the 1800 census shows a female 9 and under, a female 16-25 (which could be China) and a female 45 and over which would be his wife. As to the 1790 census, Lyme was grouped in with Woodbridge Town, an error in transcription. Elihu had a brother, William, a half-brother, Silas, and a half-sister Experience. William and Silas had kids, but not any named China that I know of. I do not know the names of any of Elihu's kids. Also in the 1800, 1810, 1830 and 1840 census for Lyme is a Henry HARRISON but I don't know anything about him.
