Hi Alice- To you and all Happy Mothers Day!! Jan D.

Hello Again, Joan Reed Miller from Pa. just called me from Pa. to let me know her computer crashed. GRRRR.. Although it is at the shop, they can't look at it till Monday, to see probable cause.. She asked me to let you all know and she'll be back as soon as she's up and running. :) We'll be the first to know! Again: Have a great Mother's Day weekend, Alice

Hi All , Sorry about being away for so long. I have been having computer problems and we all know what that is all about. GRRR! Hopefully I am back , to stay. I have been able to read all the messages, however was unable to send any. I will go over them once again and see if there is anything I can help with. Memory says NO.! but I will recheck them in case. :) A few members have unsubbed, due to vacations.. Jim B. and Tom Pratt. However they will return after vacation. A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. to all list members, their spouses and families. Drive safe and have a nice Weekend: Alice List Mom [email protected] - Message From Massachusetts

This question came to me in regards to Pheoebe Trask; hope someone on the group mailing list has her Jacob , Irene and David.... All I had was Phoebe Trask in the Adin Ballou book and couldn't help her. Thanks, jean Query: My dilemma is that my ancestor Jacob Amidown took for his second wife Irene Johnson (probably born about 1745). He died circa 1790 and she remarried on July 09, 1794 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts to David Aldrich. But which David Aldrich???

Hi Sue and Anyone else interested: Probably the same name, only spelled however it was heard, or spelled for etc. The Vital Records of Upton, MA list Lesuer (see Lasure, Le Sure, Lesure). some of these Lesures are descendants of Edward 1 Rawson.

With all the spelling problems of the good old days who can be sure? I still can't spell Le Sueur without stopping and thinking. I believe in French the meaning is "the sweat". Go figure.

Don't know Diane. My data doesn't go back that far. However, it is food for thought and a little more research one of these days.

Hi Tom, I received the letter from you yesterday.... I will put it in the Pratt file... it is too bad that we cannot find something on "your" Thomas earlier.... but, I never say never... so, something might turn up in the most unexpected place! Marilyn

It seemed like it was originally LeSueur and then over time, changed, in some of the families. The connection on my side is John Lesure, b. 1722/23, whose father is Philip Lesure and whose grandfather is listed as Nicholas LeSuer. John married Sarah White in 1748/49. Are you connected with those? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 12:59 PM Subject: Re: [MA-MENDON] responses > I have a question for Diane or Tom or anyone else who might know.

I have a question for Diane or Tom or anyone else who might know. Is the name Lesure a corruption of Le Sueur? I had never heard that before. I have a collateral line of Lesure in MA and a collateral line of Le Sueur in VA -- but I never would have connected the two as being the same name. Is anyone sure about this? Just curious! Sue

Well, heck, thanks anyway.... worth a try.. hey, I just got an e-mail from a Belinda Loomis, Clinton, ME, telling me her father related to Isaiah Brown and Isaiah Brown,Jr. And she's researching these Davis lines, too. Isaiah's son Luke Brown was the father of my Gr-Gr-Gram Sybil Brown who mar. William Bailey, Benton, ME. This thing actually works.... Amazes me!

Hi Joan, Darn it all.......hate to say it but not a Dorothy or Dolly in that time period nor a Timothy Brown. Jan

No chance, a Dorothy DAVIS, b.ca1725 married a Timothy BROWN? Had to ask.

On DAVIS families....I do have a copy of a bound typescript entitled "Samuel Davis of Oxford, Mass and Joseph Davis of Dudley, Mass. And Their Descendants" compiled by a George L. Davis in 1884. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information- only that there is an everyname index and this book includes some text from deeds and probates.

Tom, notice a "Le Sueur" in your e-mail. Are they from Mass. too? I am trying to fill in that line a little more completely. Do you have more information on them?

Good Morning MA-MENDON families, I have a few DAVIS lines. Wondering if one or more might connect to any cousins out there in "Mendy" land? 1. Dorothy DAVIS, bpt.1725,posibly Rutland,MA?;d.27 Jan 1749/50, Holden,MA;mar.Timothy BROWN, b(?); d.10 Apr 1763, Holden, Worcester,MA (pub.vr's) Would anyone know if Dorothy is the daughter of Lt.Simon DAVIS,sr? According to Horace Davis' publication on Dolar Davis,1881, Lt. Simon had a daughter Dolly. I wonder if this is Dorothy. 2. Abigail DAVIS, b. 16 May 1720 (pub.Concord,MA vrs); d.13 Oct 1815, Clinton, Kennebec Cty, ME,(vr); m. 14 May 1741, Concord, MA (vr), Ezekiel BROWN. According to Christine & Donald Brown's publication, "The Browns from Concord to the Kennebec), Abigail DAVIS was the dau. of Eleazer and Eunice (Potter) DAVIS. If so, possibly this would be a double connection to Dolor DAVIS line? 3. Tabitha DAVIS, b.ca.1806, according to 1870 U.S.census, Maine, she was born in Vermont; d. 13 Oct 1890, Augusta,ME, (vr's); m. George DAY. I corresponded with Shirley Davis, Plaistow, NH a few years ago. She sent information found in the IGI records of FHL as follows: Tabitha DAVIS, b. 1 Feb 1806, Rome, Kennebec Co., ME-civil. Parents: James DAVIS and Sally.....; Tabitha mar George DAY, 8 Jan 1829, Mercer, Somerset Co, ME and 12 Feb 1829 in Rome, Kennebec Co., ME, civil. Tabitha and George had a son David J. DAY, b. 1834, Augusta, ME (1850 U.S.Census, ME); mar.#1 Viola Williamson, 06 Feb 1874, Augusta, ME;#2 mar.1889, Mrs. Mary Smith. David's death record: died 12 May 1895, Augusta, ME, place of birth, Wilton, ME; bur. Mt.Pleasant Cem.; son of George DAY and Tabitha DAVIS. 4. Judith DAVIS, bpt 01 Jan 1752, Kingston, NH (NHGR 6:27), possibly born in ?Hawke,NH);d.07 Aug 1801,W.I.Tyler Brigham's, "The Tyler Genealogy"; mar.10 Jun 1773, David TYLER,jr, possibly in Piermont, NH? David & Judith(Davis) Tyler had a son, b.06 Feb 1780, Piermont, NH who became a Methodist minister, removed to preach nr Buffalo, NY and had two sons in the railway business. I wrote to Methodist Archives address few years back. No response to date. According to Kathleen E. Hosier's "Early Families, Kingston, NH, p.54, Judith DAVIS was bpt. in Kingston, NH and is the daughter of Samuel and Dorothy (Hadley) DAVIS who were mar. in Kingston, NH in 1746. In the publication "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury", pp.731,732,1063, there's information that this DAVIS lines descends to Francis DAVIS. But David Hoyt who published the book seems to suggest not enough strong evidence to prove this line? Wonder if anyone connects with this line since some of the TYLER families were in Mendon at one time? I have lots of Davis correspondence and the above mentioned books. Be happy to share any additional information. Thanks for letting me share the above. Joan Reed Miller ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

If my Uncle Eddie Schnorr was alive, bet he would know.... The Quaker Motor Inn is like maybe one mile from Cock 'n Kettle. Since the owners of the Inn have lived there for many a year.... maybe they would know?

Does anyone know what "bazeley's estate" was? Can't find anything on that expression in the Rootsweb. I believe it might have been near the land where the Meeting House was built and where , now , the Cork and Kettle Rest. is located. Thanks Jes
