I have a few Spencers with very little information. I was hoping someone could fill in a few of the gaps. I have a Mahitabel Spencer of Haddam, CT. born approximately 1645. She married Daniel Cone. I also have a Daniel Spencer, born approximately 1759? who married a Sarah Lord. I only have one child born to them - a Nathan Spencer born 16 Feb 1779 who married a Rebecca Olmsted. Appreciate anything further on these people. Cassandra

Was the movie, set in the CT tobacco fields PARRISH? I am not sure, but that name came to me when I saw someone mention such a movie. Barb

The movie was "Parrish" and starred Troy Donahue, Claudette Colbert,Karl Malden, Dean Jagger, Diane McBain, Connie Stevens, Sharon Hugueny, Dub Taylor, Hampton Fancher, Bibi Osterwald, Madeline Sherwood, Sylvia Miles, Carrol O'Conner, and Vincent Gardenia. Novel by Mildred Savage. 1961. Many of these names went on to perform in TV sitcoms. Vern Hall

This is to Dave in Long Island - DMS 59Dart, I have tried several times to email you (the mail is returned undeliverable) with a thank you for the file you sent on George Hubbard. All the information you sent was new for me as I had just the day before obtained information that he was my husband's ancestor. Unfortunately, at this time I have no additional information to share with you unless you are related to Thomas Scranton Hubbard from Illinois. I have information starting there, so am beginning to work my way up. If you have any suggestions for me, I would appreciate it. Thanks again for your help, Cousin. Carolyn

I am researching the following Browns and trying to link them together. If anyone is connected to any Browns of Conn. Please see if this may be part of your family tree. ALEXANDER BROWN b. Conn. Married: Kisia Kn Children: Issac, William George. Died in Oglethorpe Co., GA 1811. ALEXANDER D. BROWN b. Conn 1800 Married: Emily Crawford b. 1805 NC on Feb. 9, 1825. 9 Children: Elijah, Margaret, Sarah, Alexander, Charles, James, Julia, William F. , Frank. This was taken from the 1850 Jones Co., GA Census. Also living in the home was Sarah Horne age 34 b. NY and her children Elizabeth age 3 and Samuel Horne age 1 both children born in GA. Alexander D. was a machinist. WILLIAM F. BROWN b. Conn. 1784 He probably came to GA in the early 1800s (1810-1820). Although I think he may have been married when he came to GA, he married a Mrs. Mary Biggs in 1819 in Hancock Co., GA. He finally settled in Carroll Co., GA and was listed on the GA census of 1870 as 86 yrs and living at Villa Rica, in Carroll Co., GA. One of Alexander D. Brown's children was named William F. Brown. He was born in 1825. He died in 1827. Later, they had another child and named it William F. (b. 1846) The importance of the name leads me to believe that Alexander D. Brown was the son of William F. Brown. At the moment, I have no proof, just a feeling. Alexander Brown of Oglethorpe Co., GA is, I believe, connected to this family in some way. I believe him to be an uncle or brother to William F. Brown. If anyone has even a hint of the connection of these people from Conn. I would gratefully appreciate you contacting me. I have no idea where they were from in Conn. although I have had a feeling they are from the New London, Conn area. I have done some research in the Library on Census list and this seems to be the most likely area of Conn. It is hard to get information on the GenWeb from Conn. There seem to be some problems in the very areas I am researching. Please help!! Nora Brown Acton
