At last I know that Moise lived in Holyoke Mass. But u wrote that Marie Louise the daughter was born in 1896, it has to be in 1894 (nov 12) cause my uncle Arthur, Marie Louise's brother was born on oct 18 1896. I try to find out if Arthur was born in USA or Canada, even Arthur's daughter (my cousin) does not know, Arthur died on july 16 1966 in Montréal. We believed that another daughter was born and died with the mother. I know u could not find any records of such death, what about baby's that could have been borned in USA. If u know when Moise left USA or any other info please contact me. By the way, excuse my ignorance but where is HOLYOKE city situated in Mass.? Regards Adrien

The Province of Maine (counties of York, Cumberland and Lincoln) became a district of Massachusetts until it became an independent state on Mar 4, 1820. It was one of three districts. http://www.rootsweb.com/~census/states/maine/me1790.htm shows how early census records were handled for the District of Maine. Massachusetts Bay Colony claimed New Hampshire from 1640 til 1679 when it became a separate colony. "In 1691-2, Massachusetts Bay was unified with Plymouth Colony, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, the Province of Maine and what is now Nova Scotia to form the Province of Massachusetts Bay." http://www.answers.com/topic/massachusetts-bay-colony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_District Similar issues existed between New York and Massachusetts. Dukes county was originally part of New York formed of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket and Elizabeth Islands at the same time as New York formed King's and Queen's county. In 1691 Dukes was transferred to Mass. I bet NY wishes they had it back now? Mass now has both Dukes county and Nantucket county (the smallest). -----Original Message----- From: Shelley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 1:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MaBarnstable] HANDY in Cotuit I am looking for the parents (and more of course) for Robert C.

They often had bond letters or commissions (Letters of Marque?) from the Federal Government allowing them to fight as private sailors in the name of the colonies. For example- The Mass Hist Soc published Mass Privateers of the Revolution and my cousin Col Isaac "King" Sears figured prominently. An example 1781 Petitioner Isaac Sears "Prospect Brig 100 ton - Penalty in the fifth year of the Independence of the United States 12 gun 25 men Bond to fit out and set forth in a warlike manner to attack, subdue, feize, and take all ships and other veffels, goods, wares, etc belonging to the crown of Great Britain and shall govern and conduct himself as Master and Commander of the said Ship." There are 14 other ships with similar Bond letters to Sea Captains in the Sears family. -----Original Message----- From: Laura Callier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MaBarnstable] privateers in war of 1812....sources?
