Posted on: Hampshire Co. Ma Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ma/Hampshire?read=386 Surname: root ------------------------- I have no direct connection to either Eastman or Root, but looking through the vital records for Northampton, there is a Mehitable Root, born 27 May 1688 that might fit. She was the daughter of Hezikiah Root & Mehitable Frary who were married in Northampton on 12 Jul 1682. Since Hadley is just around the corner from Northampton, could be a possibility? Hope this doesn't confuse things. Dave Clark Belmont NC www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/DaveClark/CLARK/index.htm www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/DaveClark/STRONG/index.htm
