The question you ask .. if the youngest son Elijah who married Harriet Roggs had ason named Abner? .... My records show there were three children, but only mentions two: Maria H, and Marshall C who married Ann Gibbs of Otis and they had three children. That's all I have..... but this should give you some good leads to see if there was an Abner. AS I already indicated... Elijah (b 1737) married Elizabeth Sparhawk and one son was John Curtis (b1773) he married Martha Patty Newell and their first son was John Curtis Jr (b1804)who had three wives. The first was Mary Smith Curtis and they had a daughter named Mary Curtiss who married Charles H Printiss, my great great grandfather. please reply... Fred

My progenitor was Dennis Sheehan in West Stockbridge. He came from Cork in 1860 and am not sure if he served in CW. I do know my grgr grandfather Albert Clarke from Columbia Co.. NY did, though. Thanks for your effort..I appreciate the thought. Tom Lamb

There was also a Berkshire Medical College in Pittsfield around that time. The Pittsfield Library may be able to assist you in a search if you believe he attended college closer to home. I believe the last graduating class was 1858. Helen
