Shirley, I missed the opening gun of this MOTT/TALCOTT thread. I descend from Sarah TALCOTT (1595 Braintree, co Essex, Eng - c1640 Hartford, CT) d. of John and Anne (SKINNER) TALCOTT, who md. Wm. WADSWORTH. Did spot your queries: >> 10th gr grandparents >> John -1) TALCOTT b 4 Oct 1562 Colchester, Essex, Eng. d 29 Jan 1604 >> Braintree, Essex, England. md 1594 at county Essex, England, TO: >> Ann -1) SKINNER d/o Wm & Margarie (...) SKINNER. Ann was born >> 1572/74 at Braintree, Essex, Eng, d 6 Apr 1673 Braintree, Essex, Eng. > >Is there a source for the marriage date of 1594? It seems John was born two >years before they married, in 1592. I have no birth or marriage date for John and Anne (SKINNER) TALCOTT but as their 1st child, John was born after 1595, 1594 seems a plausible. However, like you I'd love a source. The date of after 1595 for the birth of their son John is calculated from his age at the time of the will of his grandfather Wm. SKINNER in 1616 per: Waters, Henry F. A.M., Genealogical Gleanings in England: Abstracts of Wills Relating to Early American Families, with Genealogical Notes and Pedigrees Constructed from the Wills and from other Records, Vol. II (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1969). In the will he was still minor; therefore, he was born after 1595 to qualify as a minor in 1616. >> 9th gr grandparents >> John 1) TALCOTT b 1592 Braintree, Essex, Eng., d Mar 1660 at Hartford, >> Hartford, CT., md bef 1630 at Braintree, Essex, England TO: Dorothy >> MOTT d/o Mark -1) & Francis -1) (GUTTER) MOTT. > >Is there a good source for Dorothy's parents? Barbour, Lucius Barnes, Families of Early Hartford, Connecticut (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1977; compiled before 1934). Has her parents as John and Abigail (WARRINGTON) MOTT. However, this certainly is not sealed in concrete because: S. V. Talcott, "Talcott and Mott Families" in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, XXI (Boston: NEHGS, 1867), p. 217. Lists no Dorothy as a child of John and Alice. Henry F. Waters, "Genealogical Gleanings in England" in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, XLVI (Boston: NEHGS, 1892)p. 320. The will of Mark MOTT, brother of this John, says "cousin Dorothy the wife of John Talcott." Dorothy would have been Mark's niece rather than cousin but as we all know it was a common practice to call all relatives cousin, brother or sister when they were not. --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ ----------------------------------------------- USGenWeb Mansfield, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/mansfield.html USGenWeb New London, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/newlondon.html USGenWeb Norwich, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/norwich.html USGenWeb Windham, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/windham.html USGenWeb Plymouth, MA http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ -------- New England Genealogy Collections Outside of New England http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/NECollections.html WWW Genealogy Resource Links http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/webresources.html *********************************************************

Thanks to everyone who wrote to tell me of available "CT Nutmeggers" -- My original message was sent to ask if anyone had the issues that I am missing. I wish to purchase them...

Commenting on MAGGRACE's question: Smaller-statured Irish who have dark coloring, especially hair, are sometimes called Black Irish to differentiate them from the Irish with red or blonde hair and rangier limbs. I have heard people say that the darker look harks back to the people who populated Ireland before the Celtic tribes arrived beginning around 400 B.C. Others have said that the darker look is reminiscent of the Celts themselves, with the fairer sort stemming from the Viking settlers and invaders who came in waves starting around 795 A.D. But there is more to it than this - I recall a discussion of this subject on the CARIBBEAN list some time ago, but I was focusing on another thread. You may be able to access those messages via Rootsweb. Another thought is to search the NEWSGROUP archive for the term. I have had good results doing that. A very interesting question! Good luck to you. Ginny Crawford VCrawf@aol.com Carmel Valley CA

Hi - I am having a very hard time tracing the Phetteplaces, who just loved to traipse across the MA/RI/CT borders for all important events. If any one has any info on these folk, could you let me know? David Phetteplace, born circa 1820 in Thompson Ct, or Ri or MA he married Susan Humes in 1843 in Cumberland RI. David's relative was Minvera Phetteplace, who married James Burlingame in 1843. Thanks Kathy Montgomery Victoria, BC

Would someone be kind enough to send me the address to the "Connecticut Nutmegger" Genealogical Society quarterly.. Do they have a web site..does any one know? I am interested in Sep 1988 ~ Dec 1988 & March 1989 It has information on my DIMICK family...I have all those sheets, I'm interested in from March 1989 to now... did the author of those first 4 generations do more? He said, "this completes all information that I have gleaned on the first four generations ( & their children) of Thomas 1) Dimock of Barnstable. I have further information on those descendants indicated by a "+" preceding their numbers above, and will attempt in the future to continue on with this genealogy...." Thanks for your help Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com

For whomever is interested, I have the following books of the Connecticut Nutmegger: June 1990, volume # 23 Number 1 Sept 1990, volume # 23 Number 2 Dec 1990, volume # 23 Number 3 Mar 1991, volume # 23 Number 4 June 1991, volume # 24 Number 1 Sept 1991, volume # 24 Number 2 Dec 1991, volume # 24 Number 3 Mar 1992, volume # 24 Number 4 Joyce (Jocejsews@aol.com)

Nutmeggers are available in most large and some fairly small libraries throughout the country. I found them in NEHGS in Boston and in Westfield Public Library in NJ. Call you county library system and they will tell you which branch they are available in. This is assuming you are looking and not selling. Dave from Long Island

The Memphis, TN Public Library: http://vax1.memphis.lib.tn.us/MARION/ABW-6097 has the following: Connecticut Historical Society.

I did pick up a page or two with background on the Diary/record: <No page number on this particular page> "The documents here printed are among the earliest records of one of the three towns which united to form the Colony of Connecticut. That the most extended of these documents is a private record and that some of the others can hardly be designated as official records, does not lessen their interest or value. ... "All of these original documents have been in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society for more than three-quarters of a century. "The data contained in the Matthew Grant record was printed in part in the 'New England Historic Genealogical Register' in 1851 and was incorporated by Henry R. Stiles, M.D., into his "History of Ancient Windsor,' the first edition of which was published in 1859. There is reason for believing that in compiling this work, Dr. Stiles did not compare the copy which he used with the original record, which has been used in the present printing, and the "printer's proof" of which has been twice read with the original manuscript. The whole record is now for the first time printed all together in its original form. ..." The on p. 4 - I don't have page 3: "Ellington, and brought his bride to the Birge Homestead, (then standing on the site of the late Roswell Miller House). After remaining there a short time they removed to Windsor Locks. About the year 1800 the Birge Homestead, then known as the Molly Birge House, was pulled down, and Oliver Ellsworth Jr. in searching among the ruins discovered this manuscript book. How came it in the Birge family? Presumably Peletiah's bridge Mary Grant of Ellington brought it to Windsor and left it at the Birge homestead, when she went to live at Pinemeadow, Windsor Locks. Fortunately the young man who found it was able to appreciate its value, and carried it to his father Chief Justice Ellsworth, who gave it to Pastor Rowland. At his death (1835) it passed into the hands of his son in law Timothy Sill, then to Col Loomis about 1840, where I found it and held it long enough to make a copy for myself, and this copy was made from mine. There is also an earlier copy made by one of the Rev. Mr. Rowlands sons, which has since come to light, and is now in the Town Clerks office in Windsor. The manuscript itself now consists of 48 leaves measuring about 6 X 7 3/4 inches. With the exception of two leaves of records now loose from the others, and some occasional scribbling by later hands it is almost entirely in the handwriting of Matthew Grant. ...." >And has anyone ever seen a copy of the will and inventory of Thomas Deble? I suspect there is a copy of it in: Manwaring, Charles William, comp., A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, 3 volumes, Hartford District, 1700-1729 (Hartford: n. pub., 1904). The USGenWeb sites for Norwich and New London, CT <addresses listed after my sig.> have a volunteer willing to do limited look-ups in Manwaring. BTW, I happen to have one page of Thomas DEBLE and his descendants from the book with Matthew Grant Record. If you are interested I'll E-mail you a scan of it.
