Henry Belding lived on property in Montague, sold it in the 1840's and moved to Sandisfield. Interesting in knowing where his property was in Montague. He had 4 children and a wife and mother or mother-in-law living with him. A daughter named Mary, I think, or wife named Mary The eldest son is my Great Great Grandfather. He was born 1842 right between the census every 10 years. There may be a grave on his property. Say what I mean mean what I say but not be mean when I say it C.

He was a contemporary of Buffalo Bill, etc, etc. I would like ot know more about the St. Lawrence and Illinois connection. I have been in contact with a genealogical person in Shoreham, VT.

Author: Jillaine_Smith Surnames: Smith, Hitchcock Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.massachusetts.counties.franklin/2158.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: rolandgig, Thanks for the comments on my draft manuscript. And I don't mind proofreading comments at all. I've spent so many hours staring at and updating this document that I can certainly benefit from fresh sets of eyes reviewing it. And the error you pointed out is also one that a spell-check wouldn't find. So thanks. I haven't studied the SMITH line extensively, but I did take a close enough look in my attempt to confirm the link between Jerusha Smith and the later Warwick pastor, Preserved Smith. And Joel F. who also reads this board was very helpful in finding the confirming link for me. If I understand it right (and this is from The History of Hadley which ancestry.com has included in their digitized collection of histories), there were two contemporary emigrating SMITHs who ended up in Hadley-- Lieut. Samuel and Rev. Henry. The History of Hadley doesn't link them, but the fact that they both use some of the same names for their children -- including CHILEAB -- makes me wonder if Samuel and Henry were related in some way. I'll leave that to others. Their lines did intertwine at least once: Samuel's descendant Mary Smith married Henry's descendant Preserved Smith. Mary and Preserved had at least two children, named: Samuel and Chileab. Jerusha was the daughter of Samuel; the Warwick reverend Preserved Smith was descended of Chileab, creating the link between Jerusha and Preserved. And, of course, this establishes a link to your own Chileab Smith who married Hitchcock. I believe that these old SMITH lines are well documented elsewhere. I'm fairly certain that there is a genealogy of Rev. Henry Smith-- he stirred up trouble in Wethersfield, CT and was supposedly instrumental in an entire group from there leaving town and going to Hadley, MA. I haven't seen a genealogy of Samuel SMITH other than in the History of Hadley, but I bet if you poke around Google, Google Books and Ancestry.com's digitized histories and genealogies, you'll find something. You might also ask over at the SMITH board/list. -- Jillaine Smith (no relation; my "Smith" is of German extraction) Washington DC Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: rolandgig Surnames: Chileab, Smith Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.massachusetts.counties.franklin/2158.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Your book is very interesting reading! Good job. I am interested in your mention of Chileab Smith. Being that it is such a unique name I can only assume that it is related to the Chileab Smith's I have in my line. One of them is referenced in the "Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson" and the rest of my information is unsourced from my cousin. Overall, her research has proved itself well - despite her lack of recording her sources. If you know more about this family or can figure out how it ties to the family listed below I would like to hear. Samuel Smith b. 1601 in England m. Elizabeth Chileab in 1624 in England. He died about 1680 in Hadley. They had a son Chileab (abt. 1635 - 1730) who married Hannah Hitchcock. I have two sons listed for that union, Chileab (d. 1746) and Luke (b. 1666). This second Chileab married Mercy Golding in 1710 and had a daughter, Thankful, born in 1722 who married Moses Dickinson. I realize there are many gaps in this - mostly that there must have been many more children in each family, but this is the information I have so far. I have not attempted much research on this particular line, but finding the odd name in your story brought it to my mind again. btw - pg 7 of 23 at the end of the indented paragraph - "which or course" - did you mean of, not or? I don't mean to be picky, but hope you appreciate the little proofreading note to help your published paper be the best it can be.
