Rick: Just a quick reply ... I doubt my information would be of interest as I am only a "relative" by marriage. I am interested in those Killam's who married Kimble's. --Juli Martin At 11:22 AM 5/27/01 -0400, you wrote: >List members: > >Please read original message below.

Connie: While in the north shore area last Saturday and in Wenham, I did go to Manchester by the Sea. My great Aunt, who is a very young 83 and a widow, is now dating and living with a fellow from Manchester who is 85. This gentleman owns Crocker Boat Yard in Manchester, thus the visit to the town. I just love Manchester and its little harbor. We had a sail out from there last summer when my collateral cousin from Florida and her husband met me for the Kilhamland tour. I do have the complete inventory of the Kilhams in the Wenham Cemetery and I will look it up for you. It does need some explanation which I will provide. You have probably seen Deb Gunter's and my attempt at creating a Kilham/Killam data base of those who descend from Austin, and I would respectful request you participate. It is simple and painless. Just send me or Deb or both your Kilham lineage (don't worry about spelling variations) starting with yourself and going backwards as far as you can go, in your case Austin. Actually reverse that request and start with Austin and go forward to yourself. Deb will then enter in your line with your e-mail address under each ancestor from Austin going forward. The hope is to create a network of fellow researchers with common ancestors that one can quickly refer to on the net. As you can see, this has the potential for adding richer depth to your findings. Finally we have an opportunity to use the internet to create an accurate and useful research tool. I really do hope you join in on this effort. Even if you do send to Deb, please forward a copy to me, I am very interested in all lines, especially the parts containing the original Kilhams. As you have probably noted from my writings that my passion is the Colonial period relatives and I am always looking to improve on what I already have. By the way, do you also get the KILLAM-L@rootsweb.com mailings? They are quite different form the KELLAM-L mailings and more in tune with your area of research. Thank you for your efforts and mailing. I will dig out the Wenham Cemetery inventory and resend in reply to your ancestor list to me.

Hello Rick, I'm a direct descendent of Austin Kilham. I'm interested in the Wenham cemetery. Can you tell me if you know the names of the Kilham/Killam's buried there? I have my grandfather, ggrandfather and my gggrandfather buried in Rosedale cemetery in Manchester, MA. I just wished I had known about Wenham cemetery while I was in MA last year, I could of gone there and gotten pictures for my records. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

For us here in New England, yesterday provide a brief reprieve in what has been an extended rainy spell. At least in Wenham ,yesterday, the sun was out. The new rules at the cemetery now mandate baskets with handles or in ground plantings with permission of the superintendent of the cemetery. I choose the in ground planting. There were several species of plants placed in a nice arrangement next to the oldest existing Kilham/Killam stone. The commemorative card, which was laminated in plastic was place amongst the plants. It really looked great and gave me a feeling of joy to have accomplished this for both those who have preceded us and on behalf of you the members of the lists. The only sad note I have to relate is that this winter took its toll on three more stones. One stone has now spauled the top layer of slate rendering it unreadable. Two other markers have fallen due to cracks in the stone and ice damage. I am ever so glad that I have pictures from years ago and more recently some great quality pictures taken by Pam Geist while we visited the Old Burial Hill section of the Wenham Cemetery last summer. If you plan on a trip to the cemetery as a part of your research or for personal interest, let me say time is of the essence. I would also like to forward a message from the original ancestors, they were deeply touch and express their thanks to you for showing you cared to remember. No, I have not lost my mind, but while I am there we do talk. To Pam, hit a lotto ticket of $100, had lobster in your honor at the expense of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all followed by a small box of Sweet Sloops. To you wondering what Sweet Sloops are, when in Salem, find the Harbor Sweets factory store, stop in and sample and/or buy some unbelievable top end chocolate candies. Sweet Sloops is my personal favorite. Rick Kilham

List members: Please read original message below. Deb Gunther and myself, feel that the submission each researcher's known ancestors list, starting with yourself and going back as far as one can go, can aide and improve our future research efforts. From your provided list, Deb has created a data base by individual ancestor, showing common ancestors amongst researchers, researcher's name and e-mail address. This is a fantastic opportunity for all of us, and I strongly ask you all participate. Check out Deb's web site and you will see the format of those who have initially contributed. I am sure once you see the data base, you will want to contribute. It if fantastic to find a lost relative you have searched years to find, but just think, you now can find a fellow living relative who is working on the same line. For some of us it will be a shock to deal with the living instead of the dead.

Hi Charlotte, My dad and I were talking yesterday about an uncle of his that lived in Texas, whom I thought I would query you about. Have you ever run accross a Fredrick KELLAM? He was the receipient of The Congressional Medal of Honor and the Siver Cross having fought with Gen. PATTON in the Battle of the Buldge. Dates I would guesstimate to be about 1900 - 1960's-70's.. This is the only one I have who lived in TX.
