Not sure just what you seek about Simon Crosby of Eastham. VR Barnstable, Eastham, [on S&R CD] Eastham p 25 also in Mayf Desc, 5:195, has the following: "Simon Crosby and Mary Nicherson was Maried the : 27th day of agust : 1691" "Simon Crosby a son borne the : 11enth day of July : 1692 : Named Samuel" "Elizabeth Crosby the daughter of Simon Crosby was born the : 15th day of September in the year . 1693" Harwich VR: "Simon Crosby died in January 19 day 1717/18" [Mayf Des 6:56] Torrey Marriages lists marriage of Simon Crosby (1665-1718) to Mary Nickerson (1668-1746). NEHGReg 6:44: has Simon m Mary Nickerson, chn Samuel, b Ju]y 11, 1692; Elizabeth b Sept 15 1693. NEHGR 79:441f; has Mary Nickerson (who m Simon Crosby) born last week July 1668, at Yarmouth.

Hi again, I am trying to find out who the parents were of a Simeon CROSBY who married in Cambridge, MA, in 1787. there are a half-dozen or so Simon or Simeon CROSBY's in MA in the 1600's and 1700's, not all accounted for, and several mistakes by researchers.. I have just noticed that Rev. Thomas CROSBY in Eastham had a son, Simon, b1665. But, I have no further information on this Simon. Does anyone know if this son lived to adulthood ? And, if he did, did he have descendants, possibly with a Simon CROSBY, born in 1760's ? I checked the 1790 Census for CROSBY in Barnstable County, and found 16 households, mostly in Yarmouth, Barnstable, and Harwich. But, no Simon CROSBY. Oh, I just checked different spellings, and found CROSBEY mentioned, 8 households, all in Harwich except one in Eastham, but, again, no Simon. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. I am descended from about a dozen early arrivals in the MA Bay Colony, including MOORE, KIDDER, RICE, HUTCHINSON, CROSBY, and possibly WILKINS, and more possibly DEXTER, CLARK, MANCHESTER, TOMPKINS, etc. New List created on Feb. 1: CAN-USA-MIGRATION For Genealogy researchers, please remember to check the archives of the Lists & Boards for both your surnames and place-names.

Hello, In addition to what I just posted, I'd like to ask if anyone has good information on the descendants of Rev. Thomas CROSBY in Eastham, MA (Cape Cod area). I would like to find out if there is further information on his son, Simon CROSBY, b1665 in Eastham. By the way, the CROSBY book I'm looking at does not mention the name of Rev. Thomas' wife, just Sarah. But, I have written in that her name was Sarah FITCH. (I must have read that on-line someplace.) The book says that they had 12 children, but does not further information on them, except for the marriage of 2 daughters: Sarah to Silas SEARS, and Anne to William LUSE, and Mercy was still unmarried in 1702. Both books have Rev. Thomas and Sarah having twin boys in 1670, both dying as infants, and having triplets (all girls?) in 1678. One died young, one possibly grew up but did not marry, and the third was the Anne above. Their sons (who lived?) were Thomas, Simon, Joseph, William, Ebenezer, and Eleazer. A comment in the Cambridge book says: "Thomas, the father, died in Boston in 1702. His posterity on the Cape was both numerous and respectable." The CROSBY book says: Rev. Thomas "... he contined as a mnister there (Eastham) until 1670. Later he became a merchant at Harwhich, MA, and, while on a business trip to Boston, was found dead in bed there in 1702, aged 67 years. ..... His descendants were numerous and of high respectability; continued on Cape Cod for many generations, and about 1780 some of them went to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia." Oh, by the way, the CROSBY book says there is further information on the family of Rev. Thomas in the book, Freeman's "Cape Cod." And, I would think that there is information in a book on the history of Eastham. http://www.eastham-ma.gov/Public_Documents/EasthamMA_WebDocs/about http://www.eastham-ma.gov/public_documents/index http://www.easthamhistorical.org/ Oh, I just looked at my map and see that Eastham is way up on the Cape on the way to Provincetown !

Hello Bobbie Hall, I have people named FISH and GREW in my tree. Sometimes the clerks wrote GREW as GREEN(E.) One of my ancestors was Mercy "Marcy" FISH who married Jonathan Grew-III, both of Falmouth. They had 9 children, one of which was a Mary, a twin of Job's, but they both died on June 10, 1812, a day after their mother died. Their dau./ my gr3-grandmother Experience married Isaiah Davis, so the FISH and GREW names disappeared in my line after that marriage. The name GREW is very hard to find. If you Google it, the word is taken as a verb rather than a noun, as was Jonathan's mother's name, Experience HANDY. Check out the site, http://www.capecodgravestones.com/index.html. There are many names listed in the many cemeteries listed. Hope this helps.

I have a puzzle. At first glance, this woman died twice <g>. I'm having a really hard time explaining the death records, and am hoping for enlightenment.... On 8 May 1862, Mary Laurance (mn Fish,) married, died in Falmouth age 72y5m19d of derangement, born Falmouth to Rufus & Jane Fish both born Falmouth. On 9 Oct 1873, Polly (Fish) Greene, widow, age 83y10m20d, died Falmouth of Paralysis, born Falmouth to Rufus & Jane (dec.) The VRs for Rufus & Jane (Davis) Fish are pretty clear. They had a daughter (amongst others) named Polly born 19 Nov 1789 in Falmouth. She only had sisters Thankful, and Betsey, both of whose marriages and deaths I have found. FVRs marriages has this which shows both variations of the name: Fish, Polly (Mary, int.) and Ephraim Lawrance (Lawrence int.), 21 Dec 1813 I find no Green(e) to Fish marriage in Falmouth or Sandwich or Barnstable VRs. I find no Polly/Mary Green(e) in the 1870 census in Barnstable Co. I do find the record of Ephraim Laurence's death: "Falmouth, 28 Feb 1879, Ephraim Laurence, widower, age 91y8m11d, d. Falmouth of old age, carpenter, b. Falmouth to Solomon & Mary both deceased and both born Falmouth. " He's a widower, so not likely that Mary/Polly remarried a Mr. Greene, and I do find Ephraim in the 1870 census with no wife, living with his son in Falmouth, so he pretty clearly was the husband of Mary who died in 1862. Does anyone have a batch of Green(s) in their database that could check to see if there is a rogue female named Mary or Polly born about 1789 who married into the family? This isn't crucial to my research, as Rufus Fish is a brother on my line, but it does make me very curious! Anyone have any ideas about the identity/misidentity of Polly who died in 1873? Cheers, Bobbie Hall Chicago

Sorry for the cross-post to several lists, but hoping to find someone who is experienced in old church records, old dating systems, and can help me verify an entry ..... On Google Books (praise those people for their efforts!!) I find the Dorchester First Church records, a copy made in 1891 of the original volume, URL for those following along: http://books.google.com/books?id=0-xzW5V-AzoC&pg=PA1&dq=Records+of+the+First+Church+at+Dorchester . The copied page says this on p. 151: "Rebecca Wiswall : 2di 6to 1639, born the 3d of the same mo: about 7 aclocke in the eveninge: (marryed mr Curtice)" On page xxv, the "Notes of the Copyist" state that this date is Apr 6 1639. I am familiar with the OS dates, that the 2nd month would be April. It appears that the dates in this section are in Latin? For example, on p. 152, there is an entry :Joseph Willies (went to Boston) 12me Vicesimo 3tio 1639. And Just after that: "Anna Waterhouse 1me: 5to Decimo 1640:" These entries totally confuse me! Anna Waterhouse first, fifth, tenth 1640 ?!and Joseph Willies twelfth, twentieth, third 1639?? The only real reason I'm questioning is that The Rebecca Wiswall mentioned is an indirect part of my line, and I find her birth date published (Wiswall Handbook) as 03 Jun 1639. <picking nits!> So I read as the copyist did, that she was born 3 Apr 1639, and baptised 6 Apr 1639, yes? The "2di" and the "6to" being <translated from Latin?> second sixth 1639, in otherwords, it's not specifying which is day and which is month? But the balance of the dates bear out the order which is in the form of month first, day next, followed by year? Cheers, Bobbie Hall Chicago

Looking for information on the Sanderson family, from Cambridge MA around 1917, and possible later from Barnstable MA. Mother was named Sarah, and one of her children I think was named Richard. Richard would have been born c 1903.

Rootsweb is hosting an extremely valuable project in the transcription of vital records for Barnstable County now in progress. The site is www.rootsweb.com/~mabarnst/vitalrecords/vrindex.html The records for Truro to 1850 are at this site. I found the following--"Elizabeth Cooke the daughter of Caleb and Deliverance Cooke died November the seventeenth in the year 1715. Abigail Cooke the daughter of Caleb and Deliverance Cooke died the twentisixth day of November in ye year 1715. Experience Cooke the daughter of Caleb and Deliverance Cooke was born at Truro in the year 1714." These entries were together and no other children were found, but it would seem probable that another daughter Elizabeth was born to Caleb and Deliverance and named for the child who died, as was commonly done.
