Sarah and John Bailey lived in Scituate. She was the 'probable' daughter of Gowen White and wife, Elizabeth. The Bailey Genealogy cited below: "Bailey Genealogy, James, John, and Thomas and Their Decendants", in 3 Parts, Edited by H. R. Bailey, Somerville, MA, The Citizen Co., 1899, Part Three, "Thomas Bayley of Weymouth", Compiled by W. H. Reed, 1899, p.314 - "Thomas Of Weymouth Branch, Third Generation, #6 - John Bailey, born Weymouth (no date) indicates he was recipient of the gift of a large farm in Scituate, that he married Sarah, daughter of Gowen and Elizabeth (Ward) White, and that she was mother of all 9 of his children. There is no death date for Sarah, but he married 2d Ruth Clothier on 9 December 1699. The date of birth of his last child is not given but follow intervals of 2-3 years from 1673 to 1690. The last child, then, was probably born about 1692 or 3. John died in Scituate in 1718. I descend from 3d child, Mary, who was born in Dec 1677, married James Perry, 1 Jan 1701, and lived in Rehoboth, Bristol County, MA. The following is the result of several years of research in the White/Bailey/Perry families: GOWEN WHITE AND WIFE, ELIZABETH (?WARD) C.A. Torrey, “New England Marriages Prior to 1700”, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore: Page 805 – White, Gowin/Gawen (-1665,1664), Scituate & Elizabeth [Ward]? (1597?- ); 15 Oct 1638; Scituate. Vital Records of Scituate, MA to 1850, NEHGS, Boston, 1976: Page 324 – Marriages – White, Goeing and Elizabeth, “servant to Mr. Hatherlye”, Oct 15, 1638, GR.1 Page 341 – Marriages – Negroes, Etc. – Elizabeth “servant to Mr. Hatherlye” and Goeing White. Note: She is listed in this category solely because a last name was not known. All other entries here identify persons as Negroes. Samuel Deane, “History of Scituate, MA”, Boston, 1831. Family Sketches – pp.382-3: "Gowen White, (Planter), a Conihasset partner in 1646." “He married Elizabeth Ward of Plymouth 1638”. Further in the article is mention of “Sarah, who may have been his daughter, married John Bailey 1672”. Deane notes that Gowen purchased the farm of William Richards who had moved to Weymouth. He further notes that there is no record of this White family, but notes that Joseph and Timothy White were his sons and heirs. The Mayflower Descendant, MA Society of Mayflower Descendants, Boston, Vol. XVI, 1914, p.126 “Plymouth Colony Wills and Inventories” – [Gowen White Inventory] “…taken 8 December, 1664,”…“exhibited to the Court held att Plymouth the third of march 1664 on the oaths of Timothy and Joseph White.” Not much to be inventoried and valued only at £4. The American Genealogist (TAG), No.4, Apr 1941; Article by G. Andrews Moriarty of Ogunquit, ME entitled “The Parentage of William White of Dartmouth, Massachusetts”, pp. 193-206. On pp.198-9: Gowen White of Scituate. This section identifies his wife as Elizabeth Ward, both of them servants of Mr. Hatherley. Sarah is listed as a “probable” daughter of this couple. An Addendum to the article is Table D, which identifies sons Timothy and Joseph, their children, a daughter Elizabeth who married Thomas Pinse, Jr, 18 Sep 1662 and daughter Sarah (probably). I find no proof that the maiden name of Elizabeth was indeed Ward. Above she has been identified “of Plymouth”. In a Bailey Family genealogy she is identified as the Elizabeth Ward, 38, servant who came with the family of Thomas Josselyn in the “Increase” of London, which arrived in July of 1635. That family settled in Hingham. It may be she was to be a servant to Mr. Hatherly and not of the Josselyn family. Mr. Hatherly made several trips to and from England, but the records show no servants accompanied him. (See C.E.

The 1947 Boston directory at Ancestry shows them still living there. Unfortunately, the next available is 1961, and nothing obvious. So, the best way to find out where he went is to take a look at the directories in b/w 47 and 61. They are available in a book case at the Boston Public Library. The directories typically indicate to where somebody relocates. You might try posting a request for a lookup at the BPL in the Suffolk County board. You can get the birth record from the Salem city clerk at http://www.salem.com/Pages/SalemMA_Clerk/index, if you are sure that Robert was born in Salem. Angus was living in Manchester when he married in 1910. He is also listed in the 1911 Manchester directory. He is not listed in the 1911 or 1912 Salem directories.

I went looking for churches that might have records of our families. The Presbyterian churches that I have belonged to have membership, baptism, marriage, and death records. I have even been clerk at some churches responsible for keeping such records. I believe the Mormon church has microfilmed records from many churches. If I missed your family's church I would like to add it to my list. The date gives some idea of when the church might have started keeping records? There may be a few duplications showing parsonage, rectory, chapel, etc. The complete list is on the Mass. USGenWebArchives http://files.usgwarchives.net/ma/mastate/mass_churches.txt Thanks, Ray Sears http://www.SearsR.com/ Here is the beginning of nearly 3000 churches in the list.

Greetings, I apologize for the intrusion but I'm wondering if someone on the list might have one or more of the Germans to America CDs and be willing to do a look-up on my behalf. I'm trying to determine the town of origin for a pair of 3rd great-grandparents Carl (or Charles) Becker and Marie Eva Beier (d/o Joseph Beier and Eva Jaeger). Both were born in Baden about 1825 and probably emigrated to the US in the earlier 1850s; they resided in Providence, Rhode Island and later Attleborough, Mass. None of the records I've searched (census, birth [for their children], death, cemetery) indicate where in Baden they came from and without this information finding their ancestors is next to impossible. I have no idea what port they left from in Germany and can only assume that they arrived in one of the New England ports. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Best regards, Kenneth

Hello, I was just mentioning on another List that both my grandfather and his father, and probably his relatives worked at the Cochran Chemical Works in Everett. (They worked at a "chemical works," and I'm guessing that was the one.) Out of curiousity, I Googled for that company, and am finding some interesting Google / Books which mention that company: http://books.google.com/books?id=Kn1LAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=%22Cochran+Chemical+Works%22&source=bl&ots=5GRyzCz6S0&sig=g7B3mHTaB7jTG05cKEsi9u055pw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result#PPA53,M1 http://books.google.com/books?id=qNdKAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA2-PA29&lpg=RA2-PA29&dq=%22Cochran+Chemical+Works%22&source=web&ots=8_o6MT0JrM&sig=HytK6bhOW7QRE_g_H26kzcc72NU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result http://books.google.com/books?id=qvsWAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA29&lpg=RA1-PA29&dq=%22Cochran+Chemical+Works%22&source=web&ots=PVZuBPxjzz&sig=mOtDV1zUrJedK2tCUFflRn7bhOw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result My grandfather's family believed that he developed Asthma as an adult because of working at the "chemical works." And, his father, I think, also worked there, and his "death record" from 1905 said he also had TB, in addition to suffering from "perotinitis" - which is a bacterial infection. He "dropped dead" at the supper table. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/peritonitis-000127.htm Oh, here's another Google / Book someone might like to look at.

Hello all! Can someone with access to the 1900 census please take a look for Daniel McLAUGHLIN and family?? He was a widower in the 1880 census... He was born about 1845 in Ireland. Children were: Elizabeth/Lizzie - b. 1867 - Scotland Mary - b. 1868 - Scotland Rose - b. 1874 - Mass. Patrick - b. 1875 - Mass. -- married in 1875 *(I have him in 1900 and beyond)... Bridget - b. 1878 - Mass. I had been unable to find his death record b/t 1880-1900, and I just now found his second marriage record in Dec 1883 -- to a Margaret (DIVER).... She was born about 1848 in Ireland. So, I presume they were still alive in 1900 and 1910 (n/a to find death record for either) -- not sure if they had any other children?? And the other daughters (from his first marriage) may or may not have been living with them, as I've not been able to find deaths or marriages for any of them. (Some images on NEHGS were not available, though - so one *may* or may not be amongst them.) I greatly appreciate any assistance, as always! Many thanks, Kim

Hi listers, some nice person named Vickie sent me a link to ancestry to view something about the census. But I have already had my designated "5" views from them, and am not allowed to see anything again, so if the wonderful Vickie could send it to me directly, I would be very grateful.

Hello Listers, I'm wondering if anyone can find my great uncle Joseph McGlinchey in the 1910 census? He would be living in Brockton, MA He was married to my great aunt Anna Soderbom by the 1920 census, and if anyone could tell me their marriage date and place that would be great. They never had children. She was born in 1891 in Sweden and he was also born around the same year in Massachusetts. Thank you, Barbara Shepard Smith

Hello, Someone on the QC-ETANGLO List just mentioned the new feature "Google / News." Out of curiousity, I did a search there for: "KERR, HENDERSON," and found some interesting things. One was a 1907 newspaper article about a horse race, where a Dion KERR from Washington was participating on his horse, Essex. http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=Kerr,+Henderson&num=10&as_price=p0&hl=en&sa=N&start=40 It mentions the "Myopia Steeplechase." And, less than 3 mos. later, horse is killed and rider hurt: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D06E0D8163EE233A25750C0A96F9C946697D6CF There is a brief statement about the history of that on a 1999 article in the U.K.: Did I say Myopia? I kid you not. I'd better throw in at once that Myopia was a club founded more than a hundred years ago to stage an annual horse show, polo match and steeplechase. But like many another polo club it tumbled out of business during the Great Depression and afterwards was crafted into an interesting and notable golf course. It kept the original name - Myopia - which was chosen by the three founding members because they had an affliction in common - they were all near-sighted. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/letter_from_america/386645.stm I also saw a "Myopia Hunt" in Boston mentioned. http://www.norfolkhunt.com/nov2003.htm I see another 1903 article mentioning a race that Dion KERR was in; he must have involved with horse races for quite a while. In fact, other articles show both he and his wife were "breeders" up through 1930's ?? http://www.bloodhorse.com/articleindex/article.asp?id=32144 (I'm not finding a biography for Dion K. KERR.) In this Google / News search, I see men with names, such as James Henderson KERR, or Thomas Kerr HENDERSON. The reason I'm mentioning these names is that my ancestors were part of a family-group arriving in Canada in 1823-1825, and settling in the Province of Quebec. I am descended from 2 couples: William and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON and Patrick and Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR, through their children, Robert KERR and Elizabeth HENDERSON, both born 1827. Stay warm ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. On the other side of my family-tree, I have Francis MOORE arriving in the MA Bay Colony in 1630's and settling in Cambridge. When I read about his descendants, I believe I read that some of his property which stayed with his son, Francis, Jr., eventually became a place for horse races.

No, I do not have a county or town for where Theda was born in MA. She did go by the nic-name "Thiddy" on some records. The only clues I have are those listed in my post, that she first appears in the WV census, and old family records passed down to me. My research shows that the name "Theda Porter" is an old, old one out of MA, beginning generations before she would have been born - I thought that was interesting. She must be connected to one of those old families. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
