Dear Listers, I am having a very hard time working my way back through my John Hall family. This is what I have: John HALL b. ?ca 1730 no parents known m. 14 Dec 1752 Mary WILLIS, Middletown, CT When he is called "carpenter" [in Barbour] d. ? Mary WILLIS b. ?ca 1734 no parents known d. 1 Oct 1762, Middletown, CT [in Barbour] John HALL II b. 22 Jan 1753 Middletown, CT [in Barbour] m. Hannah NICHOLS ?ca 1780 no location d. 11 Jul 1830 prob Hartford [Boston newspaper report, no Boston death cert., Hartford Ch records NEHGS, not in Barbur Hartford] If anyone sees a link or has a suggestion of where I can jump next...I surely would appreciate it. There surely have been many times that I wishes for a more distinctive name. I have diligently searched the Middletown CT Barbour and then I purchased the Hartford Barbour thinking that would be the answer to my prayers...and nothing. Regards, Martha Winters [email protected]

Looking for information on any New Haven Faughnan families (changed to Faulkner/Falkner by some). Also, surnames of Doherty, and Cannon as well. These were Irish families that had emigrated from County Leitrim, Ireland. www.faughnan.org <http://www.faughnan.org/>

Yes North Guilford and New Haven are in the same county.The towns go: Guilford Branford New Haven They are all on the shoreline of Connecticut. USA Hope this helps you, Jane USA

I believe that North Guilford would be in New Haven County, CT. My line of Bartlett and Coan descend from North Guilford. Frances

yes, Cindy, for many years to little avail. Azariah is not listed beyond what a friend listed there for me, nor are the Chittenden girls listed. they _might_ be from MA, though most of what I have for them points to CT. both of the Chittenden girls died before 1840, so tracing them through common sources (i.e. census) is difficult. I've tried to find them through...I'm too tired right now to recall it's proper name, but there's an index to CT papers and records. they don't show up in the index.

Hello Cheryl.. I saw your message this morning.. I have a Sarah EGGLESTON in my line.. I have to go back and look at the sources on this but the info I have is that she was born about 1628, perhaps in Biddenden, Kent, England, married a John NUTTING in Woburn, MA in 1650, had 7 children.. the 3rd of whom is my ancestor Mary NUTTING who was born jan 16th 1655/56 in Connecticut somewhere.. John and Sarah Eggleston Nutting show up in Groton, MA by 1663.. perhaps earlier... does any of this match any Eggleston info that you have? thanks... penny On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 23:20:43 EST, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Eggleston family came from Settrington, Yorkshire, England.

Thank you Cheryl, so very much. Regards, Joyce

Eggleston family came from Settrington, Yorkshire, England. Most all if not all the New England Eggleston clan can connect to Bygod Eggleston, b. February 20, 1586/87, Settrington, Yorkshire, England, d. September 01, 1674, Windsor, Connecticut, British Colonies, wife was Mary Wall. I am part of that linage. Here are some notes I have on the Eggleston line in America. Baptized in All Saints Church at Settrington, East Riding, (now North Yorkshire) England 1587-02-20 Settrington, Yorkshire, England (1586 old-style) He came over from England on the ship Mary & John, which sailed from Plymouth, England on 1630-03-20, just a few days ahead of the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. They landed ten weeks later at Dorchester, Massachusetts. About 1635 he moved to Windsor, Connecticut, which is at the confluence of the Farmington and Connecticut Rivers. Windsor is about six miles north of where the city of Hartford stands today. He brought to the colonies with him three sons, James, John and Samuel. A daughter Mary, another son James, and his first wife, are assumed to have died before Bygod left England and little else is known about them. He married again, Mary, and again, her surname is unknown. Together they had seven children; Thomas, Mercy (Marcy), Sarah, Rebecca (Deborah), Abigail, Joseph and Benjamin. Bygod was fined 20 shillings in 1645 for "bequeathing his wife to a young man." The young man, a George Tuckye, was fined 40 shillings, but he took off and didn't pay. Bygod survived his second wife as well, and married for a third and final time. Once again, her name is unknown. No known children came of this marriage. Much uncertainty about his mother.

I'm researching these CT ancestors, some for me, some for Edwin. can anyone tell me where these people were born? any information appreciated. I have some descendancy, an occasional death and/or marriage date for the specific individuals, but mostly my information on the individuals listed below is spotty. I'm happy to share what I have on them and their descendants. Charles A. BUNNELL b. abt 1800 CT m. 1st Almyra GUNN, 2nd Tryphenia BABLET-researching Charles and Almyra's son Ira's descendants Azariah ROSS b. 1789-1792 CT m. Polly CHITTENDEN b. 1790-1800 of CT (MA?)- researching ancestry & descent John Hall WHITTLESEY b. 4 Jun 1778 Wallingford, CT m. Sally CHITTENDEN b. 9 Oct 1782 of CT-researching descendants _____, Catherine b. 10 Jan 1815 CT (MA?) -researching ancestry & descendancy. she m. Samuel HARPENDING b. 1810-1815 NY they resided in CT Lovila A. DAY b. 25 Jun 1803 CT-research ancestry and descendancy (son of Eliphalet and Abigail (MOFFITT) DAY) I've found alot online but Edwin's ancestor, Ezra DAY has been very elusive. we can't find his marriage in Wisconsin, or his death either in Karnes Co., TX or in Wisconsin, or anywhere in between. his wife's death eludes us as well. Abigail MOFFITT b. 17 Jun 1783 CT daughter of Enoch Moffitt and Elizabeth __?__ researching ancestry and descendancy Sally and Polly CHITTENDEN are thought to be sisters. they resided in Portage Co., OH, and when Polly died her youngest child stayed with John WHITTLESEY and his second wife in 1850-Sally having died as well. the other possibility is that she may have been his patient, as he was a doctor. I do not know of her being ill, though. thank you for your time. I hope someone can add to these lines... btw, of these couples, DAY and HARPENDING are Edwin's ancestors, the rest are mine Cornelia

I am looking for the parent's of Mahala Eggleston, b. June 5, 1807, possibly Connecticut She m. Daniel Chapman Palmer, December 4, 1826, possibly Connecticut Could anyone tell me what nationality Eggleston is? Regards, Joyce

I am trying to trace one of my grandmother's sisters, Catherine Farrelly, who was born in Kingscourt, County Cavan, in 1879, was living with one of her siblings in Peoria, Illinois, in 1902, and married a man named Lynch (don't know first name, unfortunately) and moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. I know she was living in Bridgeport when one sister died in 1944 and she had died by the time my grandmother died in 1957. Can anyone suggest ways I could track her down? Any advice is most welcome! Diane

Hello, I may be wrong on this, but I would think that at such an early date, the qualifications would be much the same as they were here in England - by inheriting the position from father or grandfather (in other words, by right of birth), by completing an apprenticeship (described "by right of apprenticeship"), or by payment of money. The candidate would have to sign an oath indicating his allegiance to the civil authorities of the place concerned. I know that the one for Massachusetts was as follows, and I expect the one for Connecticut would have been similar: "I, A B, etc., being, by the Almighty's most wise disposition, become a member of this body, consisting of the Governor, Deputy Governor, Assistants and a commonalty of the Mattachusets in New England, do freely and sincerely acknowledge that I am justly and lawfully subject to the government of the same, and do accordingly submit my person and estate to be protected, ordered, and governed by the laws and constitutions thereof, and do faithfully promise to be from time to time obedient and conformable thereunto, and to the authority of the said Governor and Assistants and their successors, and to all such laws, orders, sentences, and decrees as shall be lawfully made and published by them or their successors; and I will always endeavor (as in duty I am bound) to advance the peace and welfare of this body or commonwealth to my utmost skill and ability; and I will, to my best power and means, seek to divert and prevent whatsoever may tend to the ruin or damage thereof, or of any the said Governor, Deputy Governor, or Assistants, or any of them or their successors, and will give speedy notice to them, or some of them, of any sedition, violence, treachery, or other hurt or evil which I shall know, hear, or vehemently suspect to be plotted or intended against the said commonwealth, or the said government established; and I will not at any time suffer or give consent to any counsel or attempt that shall be done, given, or attempted for the impeachment of the said government, or making any change alteration of the same, contrary to the laws and ordinances thereof, but shall do my utmost endeavor to discover, oppose, and hinder all and every such counsel and attempt. So help me God." One thing to be aware of is that "Freeman" and "Freedman" have quite different meanings. (A "Freedman" is a former slave who has been granted his liberty. A Freeman is one who has been given certain rights in the place where he lives, including the right to trade, and to vote).

Somewhere I have the info you seek but am abt to depart for Mississippi and my minda aflutter. You should be able to do a google-search for "freemen's Oath" Basically, they had to be accepted by the community, be a member of the local church, (Congregational was the state church til abt 1803,) own a certain amount of land (I think the requirement for a batchelor was different for a family man), work the land for a certain period of time, and take the Freeman's Oath...(an oath of allegiance).. Adds new meaning to the reference to "freemen" in the US Constitution,...yes?! Shirley in San Diego -- [email protected] wrote: Thank you for your help.

I'm no authority, but what I see the most of in a quick search is 21. There are a number of web sites which discuss various ages and other restrictions of several states through time, so put a few query terms in Google and good luck! Carol

Thanks Carol, Thank you for the site. Do you happen to know if the voting age back then was 21 yrs. I think 21 or 22yrs was considered the legal age back then, but am not sure and can't remember where I saw it.

I am not certain but I believe it was a term used to represent property owners.
