I called the Montville City Hall today and they said I needed a first name, not just the Dolbeare last name. That's why I need the records to find out the name of George Benjamin Dolbeare's father. A researcher wrote that he inherited a farm from his father and afterwards, it was known as the "Lorenzo Dow Place." Can anyone help? Ginny Houston, TX Hi Ginny, In the Raymond Library in Montville, there is a printout by Cecilia A. R. Fuller which has a large section on Dolbeares. Cecilia lived in Foley, Alabama last I heard. hope that helps, Raymond B. Howard
