"Hello again Cousins!" Sticking my neck out on this one, so if any of you can shoot this theory down, PLEASE do so! Might any of you happen to know who Sarah JOHNSTON, b abt 1747, MA, dau. of Daniel and Susannah (BIXBY) JOHNSTON of Essex Co., MA, might have married? Or know whether either Daniel JOHNSON or his wife, Susannah BIXBY, may have left wills or probate records? Or as I have found previously in other situations, might anyone have a death record for Sarah that would preclude her as having been the wife of Deacon Ebezezer GRAY of Pelham, MA? As Deacon Ebenezer GRAY and his wife Sarah JOHNSTON of Pelham, MA, did name their only "known to me" son, Daniel Johnston GRAY, I am inclined to think that I'm on the right track. Ebenezer and Sarah were married 12 Feb 1767, Pelham, MA, or at least there is a recorded marriage record for them there. Might there also be one in Haverill, MA, where Daniel and Susannah (BIXBY) GRAY are believed to have resided, as I have found more than one marriage in MA doubly recorded, once where the bride's family lived, and again where the groom's family lived, if both not from the same community. I believe extra weight may be added to this budding theory due to the dau., Sarah JOHNSTON, of Daniel and Susannah (BIXBY) JOHNSTON, also having had a sister named Lydia. This, since I am working to try to establish the ancestry of Lydia Queen GRAY, who m. Aaron GOULD, 1781, in Pelham, MA, I do find to be somewhat enticing to my curiosity to say the least! Might anyone know as to whether Daniel JOHNSTON, who reportedly d 8 Mar 1794, Haverill, Essex Co., MA, might have left a will or other probate record naming his surviving children, or might his wife have done so, as she reportedly died 16 Jan 1779, also in Haverill? I am wondering if Sarah JOHNSTON, wife of Ebenezer GRAY, may have had a bequest left to her or her, existing heirs, and due to that fact, Deacon Ebenezer failed to include dau. Lydia Queen GRAY's name in his will? So many questions and so few answers at this time, especially for this northwest Missouri resident whose family has so many New England ancestors still to be identified. Any and all help and assistance on this one will be most appreciated! I believe all the descendant researchers who are working on the family and descendants of Aaron and Lydia Queen (GRAY) GOULD of WV, will accord anyone who helps to break through this impasse on the ancestry of Lydia, with respect and admiration, as I surely will, as we have been stymied on this question for well over a century now, in so far as I am aware! Thank you so very much "Cousins!" for either helping to establish any of this to be fact , or in showing it to be total fancy, regardless of the outcome! TTYL Craig "Always looking for Cousins!"
