    3. New to list, above in subject are my main name interests for this area: Am looking for verification of some vitals provided by others to genealogy sites, if anyone has this info, either agreeing or disagreeing, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you: Birth of: Elizabeth Kelton on 4/23/1779 in Warwick, MA Her parents should be Benjamin Kelton b. 5/19/1755, Rehoboth, MA and Elizabeth Hale b. 7/12/1756, Swansea, MA Marriage of: Elizabeth Kelton to Joseph Potter on 4/5/1801 in Leyden, MA, he b. abt 1775 in Warwick, nothing else is known about him, but Potter's show up in both Swansea, Rehoboth and RI just before this time, so they also probably came from that area. Birth of: Eliza Potter to above Joseph and Elizabeth, she b. abt 1808, probably Leyden. Need to verify date and parents. ............................................................................ ...... Additional info on this line and so you know who I'm connected to if you think I may have info you are looking for, or have info for me: My GGG GF Duane Brooks, b. Leyden 1853 is the son of Jonathon Brooks, Colrain 1827, and Mary Carpenter 1834, have line down pretty well from there. Jonathon is son of Salmon Brooks (b. abt 1795) and Hannah Jones, both were b. Shutesbury, they married 1823 in Montague, nothing else is known about them at this time. The Brooks' are supposed to have arrived in Watertown 1636, and have been in Deerfield for the Massacre, so we have a good idea exactly who we connect to, but there are a couple of generations gap to bring it together. (Mary Carpenter's sister Sarah married her husband Jonathon's twin, Josiah Brooks, and her brother Joseph married their sister Harriet Brooks) Mary Carpenter is the daughter of Eliza Potter and Jotham Orlander Carpenter, of the Rehoboth Carpenter's. Eliza is supposed to be the daughter of Joseph Potter and Elizabeth Kelton as mentioned above. Jotham Orlander Carpenter's mother was a Newcomb. The Mowry's are cousins of the Carpenter's. If these above records which I am seeking to verify are right, Elizabeth Kelton is a great granddaughter of some number to 4 Mayflower Pilgrims, which means I had two 11th G GP and two 12th G GP on the boat, so I'm anxious to verify these records. Thank you for any help you can give me, hope I can do the same for someone out there, it just doesn't work as well if we don't share, so feel free to pick the brain of this new member if you have these names in your family.
