I can't find this Lemuel in the Mass. vital records at NEHGS, but he might be related to this family (info from vital records and "The Capen family: descendants of Bernard Capen of Dorchester, Mass." 1929): Lemuel Capen (son of Ebenezer Capen & Elizabeth Leeds) b. 1747 Stoughton, d. 1805 Sharon. In 1766 in Sharon he married Mary Hixon (dau. of John Hixon Jr. & Mary Morse), b. 1748 Sharon, d. 1821 Sharon. Lemuel and Mary had nine children born from 1767 to about 1790. One was Lemuel Capen, b. 1773 Sharon, d. 1820 Sharon. I don't have anything definite on his marriage or children, but he might have been "Lemuel Capen of Boston" who married Nabby Smith in 1802 in Sharon. (I have this because of the Hixon connection.)

Hi John, Thank you for telling me about that book. There are several references to a Homer Street in Boston in 1790's. I just looked at my old, street-map book, and that street is in East Boston - near Orient Heights. It crosses Moore St. and Byron Street. And the several names I found are some of the same names I found in the 1790 census. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. When looking at the map, I see a very small cemetery mentioned. It's on the corner of Horace St. and Wordsworth St. in East Boston.

Hi again, I forgot to check the "history of Arlington," and found this information: HOMER, Elizabeth, of Boston, m. John Winneck, 19 June, 1788. Betsey, m. Thomas Hutchinson, of Charlestown, 14 Apr., 1813. 2. Eleazer, had sons, Alfred Wellington and Orlando Mead, bap. 18 Nov. 1838, and William F. had Adeline Wellington, Mary Bartlett, Maria Mead, and William Flagg, all bap. 28 Nov. 1838. See. WELLINGTON. And, I believe the "history of Arlington" by CUTTER is on-line, but this is another on-line book about the history of Arlington. And, the HOMER name is mentioned several times. One comment is that the HOMER house was on Gray Street which is one of the major streets in the town. And another comment is that the HOMER name is one of long-standing. http://books.google.com/books?id=r49mFfFO1aQC&pg=PA256&lpg=PA256&dq=%22Eleazer+Homer%22&source=bl&ots=4m18qz0MbO&sig=A0-4PXdupjeG16k3oywEtSDz2D8&hl=en&ei=h-emSfLfPI-ctwe86_T7Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPA3,M1 http://books.google.com/books?id=F2YUAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Arlington&lr= Betty (near Lowell, MA) (See my other postings about: Mrs. Elizabeth (LORING) (HOMER) (WINNECK) WELLINGTON. Her first husband died at sea (?); she divorced her 2nd husband ~1805, and then outlived her 3rd husband, dying in her 80's, I believe.)

I'm interested in Joseph WORMALL(sp) and wife Miriam and family. He was at Concord early 1600s and removed to Boston and in 1651 sold his interest in wharves, etc to the Iron Works. One of his children was born at Rowley 1642. All this according to "Pioneers of Massachusetts." Any information appreciated. thanks, Charles

Hello, I don't have time for a long posting right now. * So, I'd just like to ask if anyone is researching the HOMER families in 1700's MA. I have reason to believe that a Jacob HOMER and an Eleazer HOMER born ~1760 were brothers. They both married in 1786 in either Boston or Cambridge. But, I've searched on-line for an hour, and I'm not finding these men discussed in the Lists or Boards or sites more than one or 2 times. I just checked the 1790 census for MA, and found 7 HOMER households in Boston that year: Benjamin, Eben(ezer?), Eleazer, Jacob, John, John, and William. And there was a John in Newton, a Robert in Woburn, and a Michael in Hopkinton. And then then a Robert and a Stephen in Yarmouth. In 1800, neither Jacob nor Eleazer are mentioned. I'm curious if there was a patriarch HOMER man in the 1600's, or whether a HOMER first arrived after 1700. And, I'm curious whether there is a "HOMER book" or document / report. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (I don't have the best of memories, but I thought Jacob HOMER had been discussed on the Lists or Boards several years ago, but I checked the archives of many Lists and Boards this morning, and I'm not finding any postings about him - except for mine.) * I checked the archives of the HOMER List and Boards, and he's not discussed there, either. I just joined the HOMER List and posted a query. FYI: My ancestors were: (Capt.) Jacob HOMER and Elizabeth LORING who married in Cambridge? in 1786. And I believe he died at sea around the time of the birth of their child, Betsey HOMER, who was born in 1786. Elizabeth remarried to John WINNECK, and divorced, and then remarried to Jedutha WELLINGTON. She had a total of 9 children. I have been receiving information on the LORING families, and will try to summarize that today. (There is a "LORING book.")

Learned from another source that TREFFLE BELOIN may have been in Cambridge, Mass. about 1920, living with 2 daughters, Alexina and Alma. Any chance that would show in 1920 census of Cambridge? _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®…more than just e-mail. http://windowslive.com/howitworks?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t2_hm_justgotbetter_howitworks_022009

Looking for help from someone with access to New England records. For the family of TREFFLE BELOUIN (BLOUIN) who sometimes went by his middle name Samuel. Son of Narcisse Beloin and Ernestine Dupuis, of Coaticook, Quebec. Born 06 May 1869 at Coaticook, QC. Died 29 Aug. 1945 in Dixville (Vt or NH?) In the 1880's he went to work in a lumber mill in Beecher Falls, VT. After that, info is very sketchy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do know he marrried Elionore Racicot, daughter of Joseph & Lucie Daignault. Judging from births of his first 5 children, he married around 1896, possibly in Beecher Falls, VT, or Stewartstown, NH. His first 5 children were born in Stewartstown. Mamie (1897), Aime (1899), Wellie (1901), Sam (1903) and Alexina (1906 Sam died at age 16 (in 1920), but not sure where. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would appreciate anything that would help plug holes: Marriage of Treffle and Eleonore, date of birth of children (years I have are approx., from a book privately printed in Quebec), census showing where they lived and whether there were other children. ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

Can someone point me in the direction to find a newspaper article Worcester, 1778, Ezra Ross, Bathsheba Spooner, and two others hung for the murder of Bathsheba's husband.It seems Ezra, on his way home from the War with his three brothers, became infatuated with Bathsheba. Dave Howe, Florida

There's an old Presbyterian Church at Newburyport where some family records may be held. I know the Church had a circuit riding preacher who served present-day Lincoln Co., Maine in the mid 1700s. Do any of the early records still exist, and if so where are they? thanks, Charles

Dave - The only newspaper published in Worcester in that year was the Massachusetts Spy, a weekly. I cannot find any article in it concerning that event. I did find a 23-Jul-1778 notice of publication by the Spy (Vol. VIII, Issue 377, p. 4) of the dying declaration of the three male defendants. An image of that page is coming to you off-list. I also found an 04-Sep-1778 notice of publication by the Spy (Vol. VIII, Issue 383, p. 4) of a sermon concerning the execution of the four defendants. An image of that page is coming to you off-list. I also searched all 137 Massachusetts newspaper titles available at NewsBank, and could find only one mention of the event. The (Boston) Continental Journal of 30-Apr-1778 (Issue CI), p. 3, had a brief notice of the sentencing of the defendants in Worcester Superior Court. An image of that page is coming to you off-list.

They only had listings (and I am not sure about sites like Ancestry) only had records of Federal Courts. I don't know if this still was the practice in the years for which you are searching or not. They at NARA suggested writing to the county where people lived to see if the county or towns would have the records and suggested the website www dot VitalRec dot com as a resource of the county court address.
