The latest revision of "Consolidated Contents of The Mayflower Descendant" is now online, adding the contents of the new Vol. 54 No. 2 [Summer, 2005]. This PDF file lists the contents of every issue of MD from January, 1899, to the present.

Hi All: I just received my copy of the latest Mayflower Descendant (Vol 54, no 2, summer 2005) and it has some great stuff for Barnstable Co. researchers. There's an article on the descendants of John Young of Plymouth and Eastham (I descend from him through his dau Mary who m. Daniel Smith -- anyone else descend from this couple? I have several Mary Smith's in my direct line, which doesn't really seem fair!) Also included is the Barnstable Co probate index 1686 to 1850 (from Bradford to Butler) and a small Hopkins article. If these articles interest you but you don't subscribe, check your local library. I'd also be happy to look up names in the probate index. Chris Chirokas Westford, MA

Hello, I have been chasing some ghosts in my Newport family tree and am hoping that someone on this list would be kind enough to help me. There are several Israel Newport's in my line. I accidently ran across an Israel Newport in the Mass sailors and soldiers book serving in the Revolutionary War. I have found no other records of his existence, just his service and discharge. There is also a Daniel and an Abraham Newport as well in this book. Daniel show's up in the early Census records for the county. I am hoping to see if Daniel or Abraham may be the father of a Henry Newport. Any Newport information would be happily accepted. Joel Newport

Most of what is known about this family can be found in the silver book, Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: Family - Stephen Hopkins, Vol. 6, 3rd ed., published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 2001. The connection to Stephen Hopkins is through both Lydia Snow, wife of the first James, and Rebecca Brown, wife of his son James. James and Rebecca were cousins.

Dear Linda, According to The Nickerson Family, Part IV (published by the Nickerson Family Association) p 588, Sophia (Thomas^6, John^5, Joseph^4, William^3, Joseph^2, William^1), was the daughter of Thomas and Jane (Greenough) Nickerson. She died Barnstable, MA, 16 Dec 1867, age 55 yrs, 4 mos, 27 dys, a widow, of consumption. No burial location is given. She married Yarmouth, 30 Nov 1837 (int. 1 Oct 1837), by Enoch Pratt, Ezra Baker, born there May 1816, the son of Washington and Thankful (Crowell) Baker. His death date is unknown. She apparently married again to Francis Haskell, of unknown background, as the 1861 Indian Census lists: Francis Haskell, age 43, married, white, separated fr5om his wife; Sophia Haskell, age 48, married, Yarmouth tribe, living Barnstable; Sophia A. Baker, Ezra Baker, Russell Baker, children of Sophia by her first husband, Ezra Baker, white. On Sophia's death record she is called Sophia Baker, so probably divorced Francis Haskell and resumed the use of name Baker. We have not found related records. Children: surname Baker, born Yarmouth 1. Russell, b 13 Feb 1839 2. Abby Mariah, b 21 Jan 1842 3. Sophia A, b 28 Jul 1844 4. Ezra C, b ca 1847 (age 2 in 1850 census). Best regards, Pam Sears

I would appreciate any further information about the Fairleys in Wellfleet and Falmouth, particularly VRs for Samuel and Caroline. Rev. Samuel Fairley was born about 1825 in Ireland, a Minister of Independent Chapel in March, Cambridgeshire, UK in the 1861 census, minister at Wellfleet First Parish (Congregational) about 1868-1874, and minister at Second Congregational, Falmouth (East End, or Hatchville) from Aug. 1877 to his death by drowning, Aug 19, 1881. He was a widower, with son Joseph William born in 1857, when he married Caroline Cole in 1861. She was born in 1838 in March, Cambridgeshire. They had children Grace E in 1862, Edwin in 1864, and James A in 1865, in England. They had Annie Louise in 1868 in Philadelphia, and Samuel Cole in 1869 in Wellfleet. This whole family was together in 1870 in Wellfleet, and in 1880 in Falmouth for the census. All of the sons became ministers and teachers in NY and NJ, and the daughters became teachers in NY. Sources: the English information is from an email correspondent, the Cape ministry info from Deyo (1890), and family info from the census and Mass. VRs. The brothers are mentioned several times each in the New York Times from about 1898-1949, and a few times in the Boston Globe. -- Sincerely, David Kew

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/417.1 Message Board Post: Carol - Have you looked into the possibility that your John Eldredge could be the son of Bearse Eldredge and Rebecca Nickerson (#960 of the Nickerson Family) Eldredge of Chatham? They had a son John b. 27 Jan 1803, d. 13 Mar 1874 in Chatham of "liver complaint". This John was a mariner. In the Nickerson Family books, John is shown marrying a Ruth Nickerson (#2615). John Eldredge was her second husband, she having been previously m. to Michael Daggett Nickerson (#461) as his second wife, who d. in Harwich 13 July, 1856. As you can see from the above, John and Ruth did not marry until after July, 1856. They are shown in the 1860 US Census thusly: John Eldredge 55, mariner, wife Ruth 53 and children George 15 and Maria 13 (Nickerson children) living in Chatham. This would have given John plenty of time for a sojourn in Lyme, CT, a first marriage, divorce and return to Chatham, sans his own children. He was at least 53 when he m. Ruth Nickerson. Perhaps their wedding documents are available wherin it might say if this was John's first or second marriage. Also, there is the name Bearse.......Bearse was the son of Thomas4 (John3, Joseph2, Robert1) Eldredge and his wife Elizabeth (Bearse) Eldredge. Bearse d. 1 Apr 1846, Chatham. Rebecca Nickerson Eldredge was the daughter of Jeremiah (#358) and Ruth (Hinckley) Nickerson. She d. 9 Aug 1846, Chatham. All of the above citations are from the publication of the Nickerson Family Association: The Nickerson Family , The Descendants of William Nickerson 1604-1689, First Settler of Chatham, Massachusetts Parts I, II, & III and Part IV, 1997.

Surnames: Eldredge/Eldridge Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0EB.2ACE/417 Message Board Post: I need information on my great great grandfather John Eldredge who according to his marriage entry in the Lyme CT vital records married my grandmother Mary Ann Chadwick in January of 1838 in Lyme. All it says is that he is from Chatham. I checked the 1840 Lyme CT Census and he is there with a male child under the age of 5, a woman lives with him in the household in the :25-30" year age brackett and he is in the "30-40" year age bracket. This couple divorced in 1851 but there is no age mentioned in that document either. There were two children by this marriage. One son named John Eldredge born about 1839, and one daughter named Eliza Jane Eldredge born about 1841. I find them in the 1850 census of Lyme living with an Uncle. I cannot find a death record for this grandfather because I have no accurate date of birth. Chatham MA cannot help either as that is all I have. John was supposed to have been a mariner. I have checked Ships manifest and still come up with road blocks. I t! hink that perhaps John descends from Bearse Eldredge and Rebecca Wixon but cannot prove it. Their son John Eldredge fits the time frame. Anyone out there who can give me anymore suggestions? Sincerely, Carol in MN
