Hello, I have finally found a marriage announcement that I have needed for ever so long. In the Poughkeepsie Journal, October 8, 1828 it is stated "Married: At Amenia, on the 1st inst. by the Rev. Asahel Bronson, Mr. Truman Biddle of Tolland, Mass to Miss Eveline Doughty of Sharon, Conn.". The "Biddle" family went by Bidwell more often than Biddle, but I have seen both, obviously. Is anyone able to furnish any information about Truman and his ancestry? I have searched the Hampden County website and came up with nothing, so far. Deacon Samuel Chapin, standing guard in Springfield, is also an ancestor, but that is another quest. :~) Thanks for any help.
