Dear Snowy I have been checking through the book the History of Easton by Chaffin and the the second volume and follow-up book on the neighborhoods to see if I can find anything on your SNOWS. Do you know the names of your Otis SNOW'S parents? Their are a few different SNOWS mentioned but no Otis. I would be glad to help. Just a thought....have you checked with the town hall, cemetery office to see if they can tell you where any SNOWS are buried in town. If you find out, I can help you to find the cemeteries. Let me know what I can do to help.

I decided to take a trip to New Bedford's Rural Cemetery today to check out some information on my Lavares. I asked for and got photocopies of all the information they have. For those researching the Bosworth name, here is what they have on those buried in this cemetery, along with my notes. #1. Sarah S. Bosworth, DOD 5-26-1895, age 76. #2. Mary B. Bosworth, DOD 9-15-1860, age 34. Stone broken in half. Top part laying against bottom part. #3. Catherine F. Bosworth, DOD 10-7-1852, age 41. I think that's an F; can't tell with the fancy writing. This stone is broken in half but still standing. #4. George W. Bosworth, DOD 8-27-1877, age 64 years, 5 months. Stone is still in very good condition but starting to moss. #5. George H. Bosworth, DOD 9-23-1855, age 4 weeks. Stone says George Henry, son of George and Mary. There is also a tiny white stone laying against this stone with Willie, Gone But Never Forgotten on it. There's no record of a Willie or William on this list. #6. Sarah Alley, DOD 6-20-1868, age 80. There is no stone for her. #7. Kate W. Bosworth, DOD 3-31-1912, age 48 years, 8 months, 24 days. Interred 5/1912. #10 is her husband. Stone is in excellent condition and different quality from the others. #8. Arnold B. Lavare, DOD 2-10-1887, age 66 years, 10 months, 29 days. Interred 12/1913. His stone is just an 8x10 slab of concrete. No notations on stone. #9. Lucinda W. Lavare, DOD 8-19-1883, age 45 years, 9 months, 17 days. Interred 12/1913. Arnold's wife. Another 8x10 slab of concrete with no notations. #10. George W. Bosworth, DOD 2-11-1922, age 64 years. Husband of #7. #11. Charles Luce Lavare, DOD 10-5-1865, age 2 months, 23 days. Interred 12/1913. No stone. I mentioned a surprise in my subject heading. I decided to go also to Westport to check on my elusive Rhoda Manchester Lavare Clarke. Unbelieveably, there was a death certificate for her, and even more unbelieveably, it named her parents!!!! So I now know that Rhoda is the daughter of Gilbert Manchester and Mary Unknown, both of Little Compton. I could not go home without trying one more stab at this so off I took for Little Compton. I now have the certification that Gilbert Manchester is the son of Thomas Manchester and Mary is Mary Tompkins, daughter of Michael Tompkins. They were married in 1789. Although this is not absolute proof that Mary Tompkins is in fact the mother of Rhoda Manchester, it is now in the highly probable category and when I go back to the area next month, I will do everything in my power to find this proof. So that was my day, how was yours? Karen Flanders Eddy

--=======62601A6A======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-16601185; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Peter PRESHO born in England in the time frame1705 to 1710 is one of my wife's ancestors. He had a son James born about 1727. James married Anna SAMSON on 21 October 1752. Peter had a son PETER. On the web site http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com there is an entry for Peter that states that Peter married Abigail JONES and this couple had a daughter Jane born about 1725 in Taunton, Massachusetts. This seems like a good time frame and location. Can anyone confirm or deny this the Peters that I mention above are the same person.

Excellent email! I am not sure that there is a complete listing of Easton MA vital records. I have ancestors from Easton, Elijah Storey and his wife Susannah Philips. My family's oldest document is signed by Elijah Story, son of the above Elijah, on his 20th birthday February 28th 1805, on a compound interest college paper. There are no town records which contain his birth record. I had once seen a list of those warned out of town, and Elijah ended up in Needham MA purchasing land from Lemuel Mills and marrying his daughter, Anna Mills in 1813.

Hello George I live in Easton and have for all of my 55 years. My mom moved here when she was 7. Easton is full of old cemeteries. There are a few larger ones, South Easton Cemetery on Route 138, Unionville Cemetery (which is right up the street from my house), and Easton Foundry Cemetery which is at the junction of Highland and South Screets. There are numerous small cemeteries that are named for the people buried in then, such as Josiah Phillips cemetery. If you could give me some names, I might be able to help you further. I know that there are still SNOWS in town as my mom's friend is married to one that grew up in Easton. I graduated from high school with his brother and my neighbor's brother is married to one of the SNOW girls. Let me know if I can help further.

Hello Carol, I was in Easton about three years ago to the Furnace Village Cemetery looking for my ancestors, and a visitor there told me there were Snows buried in several of the older cemeteries in town. I am particularly interested in parents and/or children of Otis A. Snow and decendents that may have stayed in Easton. I live in Holliston and plan to go to Easton in the next few weeks to take some pictures of the gravestones to help tie this family tree together. very little information was passed down from my grandparents and now at 72, I have a desire to leave an understanding of our ancesters to the kids. The Otis Snow family lived in furnace village in 1820- 1860, at least one son, Otis lived in Easton as well and had a son Archippus. There are others but so far have not located them. Thanks for your help, now I can start plotting a plan on the map to cover some of the town. I wish I had information for you on your research, but at this point don't have any of your families in the tree.

Hi Jim, and thanks for the advice. Those hours will be something I need to remember. I have been to Rural Cemetery on several occasions and have taken pictures of my ancestors' stones. I've also been to the library several times and that's how I found, or rather Paul Cyr the genealogy section director found, that there was another Lavare child named Lavinia. My little mini-vacation won't be strictly in New Bedford. I also plan to go to Westport and Fairhaven and will also stop in at Little Compton, RI, on my way home. I only live 90 miles away in CT but I can never seem to find the time to get to New Bedford. Now I'll have 4 whole days and I plan to make the most of it. Karen Flanders Eddy

I can't help you with your direct questions, but I can't resist commenting on a visit to New Bedord. The city library has an excellent room and staff dedicated to genealogy, BUT-- it does not open until 1:00PM, save on Saturday, when it opens at 9:00 AM. If you plan to drive to the Rural Cemetery, you will find it South of the heart of the city. Jim McCarthy, Somerville, MA

Boy, when I mess up I do it royal. Serves me right for not wearing my reading glasses and trying to write from memory, LOL. Kate Westgate Lavare Bosworth is Arnold's daughter, not his wife. The Lucinda Lavare who I thought was his daughter is actually Lucinda Wilbor, his wife. I'm going to be 52 in a few weeks, so chalk it up to old age, hahahaha. Karen Flanders Eddy

I am going to New Bedford probably next week (if not, then I am definitely going there during my 4 day mini-vacation next month) but called the Rural Cemetery this morning. To my wonderful surprise, the woman couldn't have been more helpful. I gave her names and she pulled out the cards and gave me the information over the phone. I'm going to list these names in case anyone is interested in any of them. I am descended from Epaphroditus Lavare and Rhoda Manchester of Westport. Lot 15, Section S (perpetual care, paid for by one of the William Vinals) Epaphroditus Lavare (just a stone as he was lost at sea) Mrs. Rhoda Manchester Lavare Clark (she later married a James Clark of Little Compton. She was originally buried in LC but was transferred to New Bedford sometime in the very early 1900s) Capt. William H. Vinal Lavina Lavare Vinal, William's wife and daughter to Epaphroditus and Rhoda Augusta Vinal, William and Lavina's daugter William L. Vinal, have no clue who this guy is. Lot 45, Section SW Cedar (not perpetual care and broken stones) Arnold Lavare, son of Epaphroditus and Rhoda, he was also transferred from LC to New Bedford at the same time as Rhoda. Kate Bosworth Lavare, Arnold's wife, probably transferred but not sure Sarah Bosworth Mary Bosworth Catherine Bosworth George W. Bosworth George W. Bosworth Sarah Alley Child Lavare (probably Thomas and if so, also transferred from LC) Lucinda Lavare (another child of Arnold?) George Bosworth If anyone has any information on these people, please feel free to pass it on to me. Thanks. Karen Flanders Eddy

Looking for any information on the Arch Pope & Mary Dolin Families of Fall River. Arch Pope was a doctor who had 3 children in Fall River from 1913 to 1917. Arch E. Pope Jr (died Denver, CO), Caryl Tolin Pope (diued San mateo, CA 1979)and Russell Howard Pope (died Denver, CO). They moved to Denver, Co around 1918 and the father died there in 1921. I also believe Mary had a daughter there after or before Arch's death named Jean Pope Martinez Harmon( last lived in Ne, possible relative in southern CA). Any info would be deeply appreciated. Thank You, Sandy

If you find anyone with a Fall River City Directory could you please let me know? I'm looking for the Arch & Mary (Dolin)Pope family that lived in Fall River from 1913 to 1917. I know they had 3 children born there: Arch E. Pope, Caryl Tolin Pope and Russell howard Pope. Possibly earlier. I live in VA and don't have any contacts in MA. Thank You, Sandy. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "seamus" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 19:00:12 -0400 >Is there anyone on the list who might have access to this city directory and could do a lookup for me?

If possible I need a lookup in the 1910 Fall River city directory. I have reason to believe that Michel PHANEUF from Quebec, Canada resided in Fall River in the early 1900's and had an ice factory business in that area. Any help or ideas on this one? I've been looking for this man for a long time. Thank you. Pauline Alabama

My computer crashed. I had backed up my genealogy, but can't locate some often- used URLs. Does anyone have the one where you type in the street address and it gives you what town it's in. I've checked with the post office webpage, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Much obliged Judy

Jim, Thanks for your timely and documented update. Please consider sending this to the Register itself and as a special note to the Old Colony Historical Society. The October issue each year is considered the Additions & Corrections edition, though they'll also accept it for the new magazine as well. This series of articles on the Chase Family is still THE compiled source on this family. But, let me assure you, you haven't even gotten to the WORST of it! (Some of the most awful proof-reading ever in the Register occurred in setting these articles in type.) The whole thing needs to be redone from scratch by someone. As My Pain/Paine researches weren't materially affected and could be readily corrected, I decided to stay way clear of that project. So, to all researchers: Consider what you see there in print as a clue to what MIGHT be and track down the original records, expanding on them, as Jim has done by using Rounds' Abstracts. Thanks again Jim for making a start on setting that record straight. Robert M. Gerrity YANKEE ANCESTRY P. O.
