From Dedham , MA, Vital Records to 1850, p 17: 1676 Marriages John MASON & Hannah HAWES married the 5th of 11th This also happens to be one of my family's ancestral lines, MASON. Am curious as to what information you have for Lydia as I currently have no information on her as being part of this family. TTYL Craig >> hi Craig , That is because she is not part of the family !! , And niether am I ... Confused now ? , I am very confused , but working on getting things staight , It is a long story .... I`ll try to tell it briefly , Lydia Mason married John Seymour they had Abigail Seymour who married Elijah Flower , etc . this Lydia Mason is the daughter of John Mason and a Hannah _____ , It is shown as Arnold in the FHL stuff ..... It is listed as Hawes in the book about the Seymour family , Niether one is correct ...... The only Hannah Hawes and John I found in the FHL are not the right people , The Hannah Arnold and John in the FHL is not correct Or Donald Lines Jacobus / George Dudley Seymour got it wrong when they did the book on the Seymour Family , Something is very badly screwed up ...... Do you have any proven records that will help me ?? , Phil
