Thanks Jan. I'm not sure if you once told me that there's a list of names for Worcester or Franklin County of probated or administrative records on a web site? I could be all wrong, but why I'm asking... The registrar of the Pilgrim John Howland Society, Judith Elfring also asked me if I knew anything about when and where Welcome SCOTT died... From Alices Pickering Genealogy, we know he was born abt 1768, possibly Bellingham,MA and we do have it documented that he mar. Phebe FREEMAN, 19 Dec 1799, Franklin,MA. We have listed 5 children, Patience; Willard; Vienna who mar. a Whitaker?;Phebe our direct line who mar. Benjamin Pickering and Olney. I'm thinking..... should I write to Worcester Court house, ask if a Welcome Otis SCOTT on file.... maybe around 1830-40? Would appreciate your in-put when you have a chance to respond.
