Wanted to check this with you because the missing pieces of the quilt are filling in: Josiah White-4 (Thomas 3, Joseph 1-2) married Mary Greene Upton Vital Records page 28 14 Nov 1746 --------------- I believe Mary Greene to be daughter of William -4 Greene and Hannah Tyler; that would make her step-sister to my Benjamin Greene who married Prudence Albee. (William Greene -4 and Mary Watkins/Wadkins were parents of Ben Greene.) We have searched many years for Prudence Albee and cannot find her parents. She was married in Douglas and it is also recorded as Northbridge. ---------------- Thanks again for all your help jes

Thank you for that information on the daughter of Joseph White and Lydia Rogers who married William Trask. I wanted to check these two daughters out with you (as the women are very difficult to trace) Joseph White and Lydia Rogers White Daughter: Ann married William Trask (Wm Trask married -2 Sarah Hobart Hayden) Daughter: Hannah White 1681-1763 married 1 - Ebenezer Davis married 2 - Sam Warfield 1701 in Mendon Samuel Warfield 1673-1752 connects with my William Greene line; William Greene of Upton married Mary Warfield. Thanks, jean

Hi Alice, This is my line, too, right? Last year Don and I visited Saugus Iron Works, a National Historic Site in MA. Very interesting and informative guides. Lots of terrific history. There's information on the JENKS and our DEXTER lines, too. Again my DEXTER line went from this area to Rochester, MA; then Charlestown, NH after marrying into my WEST line.

Hi all, -- I haven't shared my surnames we're researching since becoming an MA-MENDON member, mainly because we've been out of town and up and down the road from MA to PA. Cousin Alice knows, sooner or later, I'll have some queries. Have over 135 emails to read. Since just reading that the list is relatively "quiet", starting with todays date -- I'll go backwards with my emails, try to respond or ask a few questions. I have a TRASK line. Have been told this line may have left Beverly, MA, removing to Augusta, Maine. My Benjamin TRASK was b. ca.1811, according to 1850 census, a farmer, living in Augusta; mar. 1832 to Phoebe MAXWELL of Belgrade, ME. Their daughter Emeline, b. 1833 Augusta, ME; mar. 1852 Alfred DAY in Augusta. No death dates, to date on either. Their daughter, Mary Ellen DAY, b. c.1852, Augusta; d. 03 Dec 1917, Woonsocket, RI, mar. my Gr-Grandfather Charles Luke BAILEY, b.Apr 1846, Albion, ME; d. Jun 1926, Woonsocket, RI; mar. Oct 1872, Augusta, ME. Both are buried in Union Cemetery, North Smithfield, RI. Just want to mention, Jan, very kindly shared deeds/will of my 4th Great-Grandf.Caldwallder FORD -- maybe a year or two ago? When I saw your name, Jan, I immediately thought about what you gave to me.

Hi Tim, Yes, you descend from the George Aldrich and Katherine from Mendon, Ma. What do you need on this line?? If you go to Official Mail List of the National Aldrich Association - See http://members.xoom.com/jaldrich/ for more information. I think you'll find a history on George, burial etc. Your Joseph Aldrich land was across from the old Cemetery in Mendon, (now corner of George St. and Prov.

Thanks cuz. I guess they learned more later about where Joseph of RI was really born. It was a different place in NEHGR and a different year (1628). Makes you wonder where the earlier ones got their information from though. Barb

From Capron Genealogy: Joseph Scott married Elizabeth Jenks of Lynn, Ma. by whom he had 7 Chn. Their son John and father Joseph died within a few hours of each other, of a fever. Joseph was age 40 and his widow lived till she was 70 yrs. old. JENKS: Joseph was born in Rockingham, England in 1632. He and a brother , when young, came to Lynn, Ma. His brother concluded to settle at Lynn, but Joseph went in a short time to Pawtucket, R.I. where he built a house which was the first house built by a while man at that place; which house, is said, remains to this day, (1817) and is now owned by the widow and heirs of the late Ichabod Jenks. He afterwards built him a forge to make iron, which was burnt in King Phillips War by the Indians. It was soon rebuilt and vast quantities of iron were made in it for more than a hundred years, History says the Jenks family mostly resided in Pawtucket, R.I. and it's vicinity for nearly a hundred years. and they all descend from the Hon. Joseph Jenks Esq. He had four children , all sons, who are reputed to have been very eminent men. The names were Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebenezer and William. *and he goes on about these 4 sons. Pg. 21 Scoots and Jenks connect to the Capron; I would further observe that there was a corresponding connection in friendship, and business between the families of Jeremiah Scott, Gov. Jenks and brothers, and Banfield Capron as well, before and after their connections in marriage . They all lived a few miles of each other , and were in those days like near neighbors. At the forge in Pawtucket, commonly called the Jenks Forge, Joseph and Sylvanus Scott and their brother in law Pg. 23 David Jenks , Walter Capron, and his brother in law David Aldrich . all learned the art of making iron. Afterwards Daniel Jenks , Joseph and Sylvanus Scott purchased privilege of John Arnold at Woonsocket Falls and built a forge, where they manufactured iron for several years. The they sold it to the late Judge Thomas Arnold, Judge Caleb Aldrich, and Robert Aldrich esq. ======== That's it Barb. on the Jenks history in this genealogy.. Hope I typed without too many errors. I have Joseph Jenks 3 times as an ancestor. Banfield Capron 2 times and George Aldrich 2 times. My Scott line goes up to the Phebe Scott , b. 1811 ; w/m Benjamin Pickering. My GR.GR grand parents, who settled in South Parish Mendon, Ma. now East Blackstone, Ma. . Alice

I have a Rhoena Trask married to a John Southwick in 11 Feb 1819. But no connecting info o the trask line.

Hi Jean , could you resend this in another format? AOL or the server played havoc with the spacing. I cant follow who is the child of who.

Jean, Can add a little bit about Martha (Vose) Adams Greene. She made a third marriage with a Crane (have to sort through my records for the first name and date of marriage). In any event, she left an unproved will which was filed December 1779 in Worcester County (Probate Series A #13969). My interest in her was her marriage to Isaac Adams and their daughter Abigail who was the second wife of Samuel (5) White. Jan Delorey

William Green(e) -1 1651 -1717 married twice; his marriage to Hannah Kendall --- Son: Benjamin Green(e) -- cf. History of Milford by Adin Ballou. He lived in North Mendon and History of Milford says he died on the "Seth Davenport place." Ben was one of the original members of Congregational Church in Mendon 1741; I believe he was married twice....married -1 Margery (unknown) married -2nd Martha Vose Adams Child of Benjamin and Martha Vose Adams Greene = Benjamin Greene who married Mercy Taft. This would appear to be how the History of Milford outlines him and he was possibly the step-brother to William Greene of Upton.... IGI record shows Martha Vose Adams and Mercy Taft and I think we have connected these wives to the line of descendants in William Greene's family . Would be interested in any additions or corrections. Jean

King Philip's War -- Alice -- took your advice and checked out William Green(e). He was recorded as Corporal of Cavalry, Officer of Train Band local foot company, Cornet of 3 County Troop in the Colony Records. Interesting -- I'm not sure what all that means. With the help of Jon Normandin we have pieced together the Willigam Green(e) family; in Rhode Island Roots debyns (her screen name) has traced one of William's descendants , Preserved Green(e) who was a minister ... William 's descendants were in Upton, Mendon, Douglas and Uxbridge William Green(e) -1 - ca 1635 in that part of Charlestown that became Woburn William Green(e) -2 - 1651-1717 married Mary Felch William Green(e) -3 1675-1745 married Mary Warfield -- lived in Upton William Green(e) 1719-1804 married Mary Watkins/Wadkins (Upton, Mendon) Benjamin Greene and Prudence Albee Greene (Douglas) Reuben Greene 1804-1864 and Olive Lee (Douglas) Reuben Greene jr 1830-1891 -- Mendon and Blackstone married Amanda Macker Reuben Greene III 1864-1940 Took a long time to piece this together. This family was in Massachusetts until Benjamin's descendants ; Reuben Greene stayed in MA and Preserved Greene removed to Rhode Island (I will check Rhode Island Roots for the reference on him) Benjamin Greene is listed in a Revolutionary War Grave in Plymouth Vermont. His wife Prudence Albee Greene came back to Worcester County.... have been looking in Millville for her grave. We have the pieces of the first 4 WIlliams and Benjamin fairly well documented if anyone wants the data. (took 10 people and about 10 years). There is another line of Greene from Adin Ballou's History of Milford that I would be glad to post as it was interesting to tease these lines apart. Jes

Barb, How does the one I just sent to you line up with Perley? Alice is getting nervous about the slow down on the Mendon project- told her I would do whatever- hence, my [ahem] poetry AND at her request, the info on the old style-new style calendar. Sure hope no typos in that!!!!! Vacuum....gee, maybe that's why I flunked marriage?? Now, I kind of figure that the shihtsus with their dustmop coat do the job for me....if I could just figure out how to get them to run around the tops of furniture and dust!! Jan

Someone recently asked about the "old style-new style" calendar dating....for anyone who might be new to family research, might be useful to know: Until 1 January 1752, the calendar in use, was commonly called "old style" or "Julian Calendar" - although some parts of Europe had already adopted the "new style" or "Gregorian Calendar", which is in use today. Under the Julian Calendar, the year began on 25 March and ended on 24 March the following year. March was the first month, December was the tenth month, February the twelfth month and so on. Inasmuch as parts of Europe had already adopted the Gregorian Calendar, the system of double dating a year between 1 January and 24 March became used. Therefore, a date of 10:11month 1651/2 would be the equivelant of the 10th day of January under the old style calendar. The method I find most useful for clarification is to repeat the date as shown in the records- that is, 10:12:1651 as 10:12[February]: 1651/2. For futher information, see "Old Style and New Style Dating" by George Bowman in Mayflower Descendant, 1:17-23. Jan Delorey

Jes, don't know if this is any help, you may already have it, but I have History of Salem by Sidney Perley on CD. - Nicholas 3 TRASK, b.

Jean, This is what I have on Trask/Trash: William Trask, born at Salem on 9 September 1674, son of William (2) and Ann (Putnam) Trask (Sidney Perley, The History of Salem, Massachusetts, 1:95), married as his first wife ANN WHITE, an unrecorded daughter of Joseph (2) and Lydia (Rogers) White. The identity of Ann is found in the will of her Uncle, Samuel (2) White who included a legacy to "Thomas White & Samuel White and Ann Traske, children of my brother Joseph White." (Suffolk County Probate #2535). Ann was alive on 17 February 1714 when she and her husband conveyed land inSouth Braintree to John Hollis (Suffolk County Deeds, 49:188). William died on 10 November 1745. Children of William and Ann (White) Trask, born at Weymouth (Weymouth MA VRs., 1:317): William, 29 [month missing] 1699. Samuel, February 1702. John, 5 May 1705. Elias, 14 October 1707 Ann, 5 October 1712. Jan Delorey

Raining here too Jan, plus thunder boomers and etc. Good day to clean a closet. :) which I am doing. WE have a poet here on our list. So thought I'd share Jan's poem with all of you, Alice Hi Alice, On a rainy day and a quiet time on the Mendon list- have to share some very poor poetry (hence called Delorey Doggerel) which I did some years ago.... Orphans on my charts Are the bane of my existence Why was I not blessed With forebears of persistence? Who would take their little babies To be baptized in the church Or leave a family Bible Instead of a genie search I've checked the deeds and probates Until I'm bleary eyed And, at this point in research I'm not sure they lived or died! But I am not discouraged At this maddeningly slow pace I may just claim my ancestry Through an alien from outer space!! Jan
