Some folks have asked about where they can find Plymouth Colony Records. You can download them from the Internet Archive Text Archive: http://www.archive.org/advancedsearch.php Enter "Records of the Colony of New Plymouth" in the text field and click on "Search." I would suggest the 12-volumes-in-six reprint - they should be the fifth through tenth entries. Dale H. Cook, Member, NEHGS and MA Society of Mayflower Descendants; Plymouth Co.

A principal resource for research concerning the families of New Plymouth Colony is: Nathaniel B. Shurtleff (Volumes 1-8) and David Pulsifer (Volumes 9-12), Editors "Records of the Colony of New Plymouth In New England" 12 Volumes, issued bound as 9 or 10 Boston: The Press of William White, Printer to the Commonwealth, 1855-1861 Reprinted in 6 Volumes - New York: AMS Press, 1968 Scans of all volumes can be found online at the Internet Archive Text Archive. One of the difficulties in using this work is that each volume has its own index. I am creating a consolidated index to all twelve volumes. Although that index currently contains only the first six volumes I have found it sufficiently useful in my own research that I have decided to share it with the genealogical community. The six volumes are: Volume 1 [1855]: Court Orders, 1633-1640 Volume 2 [1855]: Court Orders, 1641-1651 Volume 3 [1855]: Court Orders, 1651-1661 Volume 4 [1855]: Court Orders, 1661-1668 Volume 5 [1856]: Court Orders, 1668-1678 Volume 6 [1856]: Court Orders, 1678-1691 The index therefore includes all of the records of the General Court. Note that the General Court at Plymouth was both a legislative body and a judicial body, so these volumes hold an immense amount of genealogical information, including admissions of freemen, grants of land, some probate proceedings, and judicial proceedings including charges abuse of family members and of fornication. Note also that although there are scattered records of marriages in these volumes, most of the Colony's vital records are found in the yet-to-be-indexed volume 8. The index is in a 1.2 megabyte PDF file: http://plymouthcolony.net/resources/files/PCR.pdf As additional volumes are added to the index that will be announced here and elsewhere. Dale H.

I just went to find the web site for the "Boston and Maine Railroad Historical Society," and came across this web site. It shows that RR companies and tracks existed in New England from the 1830's. I had it in mind that they were really started to close to the 1850's.* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_and_Maine_Railroad It says there was even a "Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad" before 1880's. This is the web site for the B&M RR Historical Society. I found out about it several years ago, and found out that their Office is in Lowell, and part of the "Lowell National Historic Park." http://www.trainweb.org/bmrrhs/ One of the reasons I was interested in this Society is that I was interested in "Iron Horse Park" in Billerica, MA. When it was active, it was a "Repair Yard" for the trains in New England. And, I believe there were other "Repair Yards" in New England, possibly near Concord, NH, possibly in every state. And probably many people worked on the trains, in one capacity or another, or worked to lay down the tracks, or repaired the trains, etc. So, now that I have been reminded that "train travel" existed in New England back to the 1830's, that is the probable way for my ancestors' relatives to travel long distances, or from one location to a much farther away location. Or, from my other posting, it could be how Edward WILKINS and his wife and young child moved from Whitefield, NH, to Presque Isle, ME. But, it must have been a month-long trip !

Hello, The railroad network was more extensive during this time. I have a neat book called "The Rail Lines of Northern New England" by Robert M Lindsell. In most cases the rails still exist but are only used for freight service. Whitefield. NH is a junction of two Boston and Maine lines. There are also interchanges with other lines. In 1907 there were 4 passenger trains between Whitefield to Berlin. Maine Central had a line from Scotts Junction, through Whitefield to Portland Maine. So to get from Lawerance to Whitefield they could take the Boston and Maine through central NH and Woodsville or go up near Portsmouth and through Conway. There are two west-east rail lines going through Fryeburg and Bethel that connect to a good rail network in southern coastal Maine. Presque Isle is served by the Bangor and Aroostock and you can get to Presque Isle through Millinocket. Princeton is served by the Washington County Railroad and you could go down by the St. Croix River and loop down near the coast and over to Bangor. There a several options from there. You could easily go from Boston to Worchester, New York, or Montreal. There is a rail line that goes from Quebec to New Brunswick by going across Maine. I could go on but I would suggest you look at "The Rail Lines of Northern New England" and also "The Rail Lines of Southern New England" by Ronald Dale Karr. http://www.branchlinepress.com/rail_titles.html One of my Nickerson ancestors ran a wagon express service between Melrose and Boston in an earlier timeframe so I assume that someone would run transport between railheads and smaller towns. If course if they owned horses and wagons they could use them. The automobile changed the transportation map. Passenger Rail Service today is a very small shadow of it's former self. 73 Eric ----- Start Original Message ----- Sent: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 07:21:12 -0400 From: "Betty" <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> To: <new-hampshire@rootsweb.com>, <genMassachusetts-L@rootsweb.com>, <MAINE-L@rootsweb.com>, <vermont@rootsweb.com> Subject: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] "How" Did Families Travel between States ~1900 > Hello, > > I've been thinking about my related KIDDER and WILKINS ancestors again this > morning.

The age was older and most women will not make their age older than they are and she was listed as a sister-in-law to the couple she was living with and the names were not right.

Hello, I've been thinking about my related KIDDER and WILKINS ancestors again this morning. I've been researching both names for 15+ years. As I've mentioned on some Lists, I spent over a week recently researching the WILKINS families in Presque Isle, ME, from 1870's to 1950's. As I've mentioned, I found out that a Joseph WILKINS moved his young family from Lawrence, MA, to Whitefield, NH, which is north of the White Mountains (and not far from the Prov. of Quebec). And, then his son, Edward, moved his wife and very young daughter from Whitefield to - Presque Isle, ME. That was ~1910. My imagination can't come up with "how" this young family would have traveled that great distance. And, my great-grandfather, "Sanford" KIDDER, in Princeton, ME (near Calais) (south of Presque Isle), had 2 brothers who left Princeton and moved their young families to Berlin, NH. And that is another town north of the White Mountains, and actually not far from Whitefield. And that would have been that 1900-1910 timeframe, also. In fact, Clinton KIDDER had a major Stroke in Berlin, and his wife had to move the family, including very young children and a sick husband - back to Princeton. And she might have been pregnant at the time. She delivered their first daughter in Princeton and Clinton died while the little girl was still a baby. "How" did Mrs. KIDDER do that ? And, for my KERR / HENDERSON ancestors in the Prov. of Quebec, my great-grandfather left Compton Co., P.Q. ~1874 and came down to Boston. "How" did he get here? His mother, Mrs. Elizabeth (HENDERSON) KERR, had a sister, Mrs. Hannah ROBBINS, who left Argenteuil Co., P.Q., and moved to North Hero, VT. Then the young couple moved again to the Worcester, MA, area. "How" did this family get from northern VT to MA in the late 1800's? I can't think of other examples of families traveling great distances during the 1880 to 1910 timeframe at the moment. But, it makes me wonder whether anyone has ever written a book about "how" men, women, and families traveled great distances during those years. In the case of Whitefield, NH, to Presque Isle, ME, there are long, wide, tall, and great mountains between them ! And there were no major waterways - between them ! I supposed they could have headed north to the St. Lawrence River and made their way to the Ocean and made their way down to Portsmouth or Boston. Or, they could have headed down the Merrimack River to that area. Or, they could have headed down the St. Croix River towards the Ocean to that area. But, these proposed "routes" would have been way out of their way ! Is any researcher looking for a possible "topic" for a new history book? I know that "train travel" existed in New England after 1850. But, most tracks would have been "south to north" or vice versa, wouldn't they? Not across mountains across northern New England? Just "food for thought." Betty (near Lowell, MA) (on Lists for 8 years; now an Administrator for 8 Lists) FYI: The "Old Canada Road" has been discussed on the Quebec-Research List this week. And, looking at an on-line history, that went from, in general, what is now Quebec City to Skowhegan, ME, in the 1700's. But, it was just - a road ! But it did allow stagecoaches to travel back and forth in the 1800's. But, Skowhegan is in the middle of the State (north of Waterville and Augusta) and "not" near Presque Isle. Etc.

I'm researching one Madeline Forrest who married three time - to Edward Frederick Burke, then Major Henry Hooker, and then about 1940 Count Anton Louis Apponyi of Hungary. She lived in Budapest for many years and returned to the US in the late 1950s. She is said to have died in a Boston hospital about early 1962. Is there sks who can confirm her death or even come up with an obit? Many thanks. Rod Smith, Wellington, New Zealand.

Good Morning, I live in North Easton and have all my life and grew up hearing the stories of the Ames Shovel Shop. We have quite a few large castle like homes in Easton that belonged to this family but most have since been sold. The Ames Shovel Shop is still standing and various businesses have been in there thru the years. They no longer make shovels there. When I was young I remember hearing stories and seeing pictures of the joining or the east and west with the railway at Promontory Point, Utah and the picture shows some men standing with shovels and at least one of them was an Ames as their shovel were used to put in the railway. It is a beautiful stone building and there has been talk of a developer going in and making them into housing, etc. Right side of the Shovel Shop is the Easton Historical Society which is housed in the old Old Colony Railroad Station. They have occasional open houses where their collection of old pictures of Easton are on display. Just some thoughts. Carol Sherman Houghton

My grgrgrandfather was Joseph TAYLOR, b. Aug 31, 1802 and died May 26, 1868 in Rutland, Worcester County, Mass. His death certificate (filled out by a friend), states that he was born in Westminster to William TAYLOR and Louisa GALE TAYLOR. Census records also state that Joseph was b. in Mass. I can find nothing in Westminster or elsewhere concerning William TAYLOR and/or Louisa GALE. I have searched for over 25 years and now I am running out of time. (I am almost 82 years young). P.S. One of Joseph's sons was named William Haskell TAYLOR and his son was William Ladd Taylor who was an artist and also illustrator for books and magazines such as Ladies Home Journal. William Ladd TAYLOR died in 1926 in Mass. leaving no heirs. I truly hope someone can help me ! Arline (Taylor) Larson Native of Paxton, Worcester Co., Mass. Living (I don't know why) in Florida

Hi again, In this morning's MassMoments e-mail there is the story about how the phrase "Banned in Boston" came about: http://www.massmoments.org:80/moment.cfm?mid=104 The major part of the story involves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_and_Ward_Society http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/01/01/dwight_strong_watch_and_ward_society_leader_dies/ http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~law00001 Betty (near Lowell, MA) April and May what a wonderful way to spend your day ..... (me)

Hello, As often times happens, I see something on TV or in a newspaper which makes me curious about something. I go to look on-line and find that and then find something else which I become curious about. Etc. Early this morning I watched "Antiques Roadshow" where they were showing some Civil-War-era "cannons" and one of them was made by the Nathan T. AMES in Springfield, MA. I go to look on-line for information on this company and find many sites which mention him and all the swords and cannons his company made. I mention him on-line and someone tells me that AMES is a big name in Easton, MA. I go to find information on that, and I find out there is an AMES Shovel company in Easton. Oops. Took another look and found out that "Ames Shovels" have been mentioned on the "MassMoments" e-mails: http://massmoments.org/moment.cfm?mid=139 This site mentions "an historic site" .. http://www.easton.ma.us/Directory/Notices/Miscellaneous/Ames%20Shovel%20Shops%20Press%20Release%20Mass%20Most%20Endangered%2010%201%2008.pdf and this shows a picture of it: http://www.eastonmass.net/historic/shovel.htm There are many sites which mention "Ames shovels" but one of the sites coming up is about a museum in Maine: http://www.davistownmuseum.org/bioAmesShovel.html I had to look at my map to see where Liberty, ME, is, and found it near Belfast, ME. This page mentions the beginning of this museum: http://www.davistownmuseum.org/about.html#staff This page mentions a booklet about toolmaking before 1870: http://www.davistownmuseum.org/publications.html Just an FYI for you. But, for the "Memories" List, there is probably a book somewhere which discusses the tools people used, or created, during each century in our country. Perhaps an ancestor invented one, or built a better one, etc. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: I see that there are other towns near Liberty which are named Freedom and Hope. I'm curious how towns near Belfast, ME, came to have those names. In a previous search, I found this page which mentions an AMES patriarch: http://john.rootsweb.ancestry.com/Ames/0768-l.html And here is a man in Europe who influenced "America." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ames FYI: Last summer I met a man in MA who has the first name, Oakes. It's the first time I had heard that name, but here it is mentioned again: Oakes AMES.

Would someone please look up the following for me and see what details you find - 'Levi, s. Elisha', 1845, Vol. 9, P. 169, Worcester', and - 'Wife of Elisha, 1846/7, Vol 26, P.134, Buckland'. Thank you very much faye
