Surnames: MONTCALM Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0EB.2ACE/442 Message Board Post: Hello. I am seeking information on the lineage of Anthony Montcalm. Is he the son of Moses and Amy (Beecher) Montcalm of Yarmouth? According to the IGI, Moses was born between 1775-1788. Does this Montcalm line go back to the Marquis of Quebec fame? Thank-you. - Jeanne
Checking my facts, I see that Truro and Brewster did produce the tan books. Fairly recently, independent groups have produced books in similar format for some of the other towns, but I assume they won't be included in the NEGHS online project. David Kew
John Slaughter's announcement is wonderful news. The "Early Vital Records" set is critical data, but most libraries don't have a full set. Can anyone explain why none of the Cape towns contributed to the series? David Kew http://capecodhistory.us/
Seth H. Baker jr (13 Oct 1833, single) and brothers Henry D Smith (age 30-0-18, married) and Benjamin F Smith (age 28-2-19, single) all of Wellfleet were lost with all on board the schooner R. R. Freeman, in Vineyard Sound, on the night of the seventh of February, 1861. These facts are from 1861 Wellfleet death records and from "Sweet Rosemary and Forget-Me-Nots," a book of poems by Seth's aunt, Betsey (Baker) Libby, published as a memorial to her in 1898. Presumably Wellfleet's Richard Rich Freeman was a part owner. Does anyone have more information on the ship and other crew?
Good afternoon, everyone. :-) For those of you who don't know me, I'm the county coordinator for Essex and Middlesex counties. Over the past several years, with the aid of many people, I've been working on getting the "Tan Book" series of vital records transcribed and online. I have always said that I would consider the job done if I got them done or I could get one of the pay sites to make theirs firee. The latter is soon to come to pass. I had a talk with the New England Historical and Genealogical Society (NEHGS). We have come to preliminary agreement. NEHGS is going to convert their database of the early vital records of Massachusetts from 1600-1849 to the format that I have been putting online. (For those unfamiliar with these, visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~maessex/VitalRecords.) These will be made entirely free to everyone. These will be indexed by both exact name and soundex. Indexing should still include year, or range of years. Hopefully, the indexing will go even further over time. Also, images of the book pages will be available. This is all still in the early planning stages. For instance, who is going to do the actual conversions - my transcribers and me or NEHGS? They have about 164 towns already done. When those are converted, it will still be necessary to transcribe the remainder, about 50 or so towns. The first steps are being made. NEHGS has begun scanning. They have already sent me all 3 volumes of the Gloucester vital records and they are online. This is in addition to what I already had up. It will depend on their volunteers and their other needs as to how fast they can scan the rest and send them to me. I think that this is going to be one of the biggest boons to those with New England roots in a very long time. Thank you.

It was from J Henry Sears of Brewster, a master mariner who adventures could not be rivaled. Sears was now retired from the sea and was an important shipowner in Boston. The ship he ordered was named Ellen Sears, in honor of J Henry's sister. The captain was to be J F Bartlett, who married young Miss Ellen. Ellen died abt 1858

Amazing and wonderful! My fingers are crossed that you might have found the marriage record of John B. Caton and Amelia _____, married in the 1880's there. John was from the Azores, and thanks to US Census records of that area, I am certain Amelia was born in MA. Some records also show her as "Amelda". Any information shown on any vital records from P'town for this couple would be most appreciated, and if you are looking for history of the CATON, SILVA, DaLUZ, BRAGG, or PERRY of Provincetown, I might be able to help you in return.

Isaac's wife Mary was alive in 1669 when she was involved in a real estate matter. Check the articles mentioned in the Anderson sketch. Don't waste your time on undocumented assertions on the internet, there is recent research that lays out what can be known from the records and you will see there are several reasons why this Mary could not be Isaac's wife.

Brenda - That is correct. Isaac married Mary (___) between June 13, 1649, when Margaret (Hanford) Robinson was buried at Barnstable [NEHGR 9:285], and 05-Oct-1651, when his son Israel (later renamed Isaac) was baptized at Barnstable [NEHGR 9:284]. I hadn't seen Mary Faunce listed as Isaac's second wife. That is found in none of the usual sources - did it come from the LDS site? If so, it must have come from a member submission and not from the extraction program. > Our family history, while showing that Mary's birth and death > dates haven't been proven, show marriage to Isaac at > approximately 1650, and her parents as being John Faunce and > Patience Morton (also lists Patience's parents) The Plymouth birth dates of the first five children of John and Patience (Morton) Faunce are not known, but based on other evidence authorities generally assign them the birth order of Priscilla, Mary, Patience, Sarah and Thomas. This would put Mary's birth around 1638. She died 04-Oct-1664 at Plymouth [PCR 8:25]. She married William Harlow 15-Jul-1658 at Plymouth [PCR 8:21]. > May I jot down your email, in case I have further questions? Yes, you may. Dale H. Cook; Research Member, NEHGS; Member, Mass. Soc.

The family history is there, but there's no certificates, is that right? Isaac would be my x12 grandfather. His and Mary's son, Peter is the line I am descended from. Our family history, while showing that Mary's birth and death dates haven't been proven, show marriage to Isaac at approximately 1650, and her parents as being John Faunce and Patience Morton (also lists Patience's parents) I am really not looking for any specific information yet, I've started my own research of the Robinson side, although my grandmother did it years ago. I am fascinated with the area that they settled, and am just trying to find out as much as I can. That's an interesting aspect though about Mary. I'm sure the research has been done on her. May I jot down your email, in case I have further questions? Thank you! Brenda

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0EB.2ACE/440.2 Message Board Post: Hi Brenda, You can find a biographical sketch of our common ancestor Isaac (I have lines through son John and daughter Mercy) in Robert Charles Anderson's _The Pilgrim Migration_ published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 2004. (You can find essentially the same information in this somewhat earlier sketch by Anderson http://www.revjohnrobinson.com/isaac.htm ) This would likely be the best recent summary of what is known of Isaac and includes references to the sources of the information given so you can proceed to those from the sketch. Dale has mentioned one important point; the surname of Mary is not known. Another is that Anderson lists three children, not four, for Isaac and Mary. They are Israel, Jacob and Peter. Anderson notes that a son Thomas is often listed, but that there is no evidence for such a son. As for his movements, Anderson lists "Scituate 1636, Barnstable 1639, Falmouth by 1664, Tisbury by 1671, Barnstable 1701. Isaac was a fascinating individual in his own right, but as you know he is also the son of John Robinson, pastor of the church of the Mayflower pilgrims (and who, of course, did not come to Plymouth). There are several works on Pastor Robinson. If you haven't seen _The Pilgrim Way_ by Robert Merrill Bartlett I think you might enjoy it. Robert Merrill Bartlett was quite an extraordinary man himself, well qualified in several ways to write about Robinson, and while the book is a few decades old, I think you might find it enjoyable and worthwhile.
