[Posted Essex and Middlesex, because of overlap] Helen Graves asked MAExxex about record of marriage of Ebenezer Knight and Mary Greenslit in Lynn 7 Aug 1739. I gave VR citation in Lynn, then became curious, since we have many Knight ancestors in Essex Co. [Middleton & Topsfield], but no children of Ebenezer are found in Essex County. Search for Ebenezer Knight in NEHGRegister index reveals the following sequence of recorded events. Could this be the same Ebenezer and Mary? Two places on same day? Aug 23 1735. Anna, dau of Ebenezer and Mary Knights born, Malden [1] 24 Feb 1735/6 Ebenezer Knights and Mary his wife warned to take children viz "Alice, Amaziah, Mary, Ebenezer, Ruth, Matthew, Sarah and Anna" and depart. Malden Mass., Warnings Out 1678-1794 [2] [Introduction clarifies that warnings out were given by town selectmen to strangers who arrive and the town did not wish to be obliged to support] 15 Apr 1739 Alice, Amaziah and Mary 3 adult children of Mr Ebenezer Knight by virtue of their own covt, Ebenezer, Ruth, Matthew, Sarah, Anna and Elizabeth by virtue of their Father's Covt. baptized Milton Church.

Ruth dau of Ebenzer Knight bapt Milton Church [5] [a Tuesday]; [is she the same sister of Alice, Amaziah, etc above] 7 Aug 1739 Ebenezer Knight and Mary Greensleet married Lynn [6] Seems a big coincidence to have an Ebenezer Knight and Mary marry and have a child baptized on same date in different towns. There seems to have been an Ebenezer Knight and wife Mary in Reading about that time; also in Stoneham, but children names were different, and these families seemed to stay there.

Hello, Following along with the same extended family, I have been looking for more information on my great-grandmother's sister, Miss Edith Crosby RICE, who never married and was a life-long Children's Librarian in Arlington. (Up until her serious illness around 1930.) No one seemed to know where she was buried, so I called the Arlington Town Clerk and found out she was buried at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. I then called the cemetery office, and they said that Edith was not in their computer data base. I said that the Clerk had said she was there, so she checked the Index cards. It turned out she was listed as Edith Rice CROSBY, and was buried in the large CROSBY plot of her great-grandparents. The lady in the cemetery office then very kindly e-mailed me the record for that large plot ! There were KEATING's buried there, and I couldn't remember how they were related, so my sister e-mailed me a family-tree chart. In case it will help others, this is the basic information from the chart: John CROSBY and Mary BUCKNAM married in Arlington in 1817, and they had married children: (Belinda CROSBY, b~1817 -- no further information) Eliza Ann CROSBY married in Lexington to Jacob Homer HUTCHINSON in 1838 Lydia Louise CROSBY married in Arlington to Daniel B. KEATING in 1840 John Spencer CROSBY married in Arlington in 1855 to Adelaide Cynthia FROST, and possibly around 1870 to Sarah BLAKE Sarah Russell CROSBY, b1835, d1856 in Arlington. ..... Regarding grandchildren: Jacob and Eliza HUTCHINSON had a son, George, and a daughter, Adelaide, and lost a daughter, Mary, at Age 16. Daniel and Lydia KEATING had 2 daughters, Mary and Ella. John and Adelaide CROSBY had a daughter, Helen, who died in her 40's. John and Sarah CROSBY had 4 daughters and one son: Helen, David, Ruth, Phyllis, and Evelyn. (Ruth CROSBY wrote some books on her family's "summer house" in Bethel, Maine.) I think I posted this information on the Lists a few years ago, so you can check the archives for more details. Hope this helps someone. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. If I owe someone an e-mail, I'll get back to you this week. Thank you to all the researchers who help me ! I can only "dream" of putting all the data I have in boxes of papers .. into a formal document. I find it much more pleasant to participate on the Lists ! P.S.2 Don't forget it is Spring ... and in New England ... it's time to spend more time OUTSIDE .. than inside !

Hello, Yesterday I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to Probate Court and the Registry of Deeds (same bldg.) in Cambridge to look for 2 things. o I found the "will" of Miss Mary HUTCHINSON of Winchester, and she refers to "her" plot in the cemetery in Winchester, which she was leaving money for (perpetual care and stone). She then left a small amount of money to her friends, and to her cousin, Mrs. George? SPAULDING. The rest of her money was to be "share and share alike" to her "second cousins," John B. HUTCHINSON, Mrs. Mabel SPICER, Mrs. Ruth LYNCH, and the sisters, Miss Edith RICE and Mrs. Louise (RICE) KIDDER. That was the handwritten page. The typed version mentions where the rest of her money went - mostly to pay bills and taxes, etc, and this included the real-estate tax to Winchester. (The "will" of her brother, Thomas HUTCHINSON, who died 3 years before, was "among the missing." (probably mis-filed) ) o With information from my sister, I just went across the building to find the Deeds for the "HUTCHINSON Farm." The "family story" we had heard was that the unmarried siblings, Thomas and Mary HUTCHINSON, had left the Farm to our Great-grandmother in their "wills" - because she was a devoted Caretaker for them. So, I was quite surprised to find out this was not true ! According to a 1937 Deed, the owners of the land and house were: John B. HUTCHINSON, Miss Edith RICE, Miss or Mrs. Ruth LYNCH of NY, and Mrs. Mabel SPICER of CT. And, they are the ones who "granted" the Farm to Mrs. Louise (RICE) KIDDER. We had no idea that Grandma's sister was already a part-owner in the land, and, up until yesterday, I had never heard of Ruth LYNCH and Mabel SPICER. An earlier Deed from 1866 showed that John B. and Ruthy (WYMAN) HUTCHINSON and William and Elizabeth (HUTCHINSON) DODGE, both merchants in Brooklyn, NY, Jacob and Eliza (CROSBY) HUTCHINSON, and Mrs. Gardner SYMMES, and Mrs. Francis JOHNSON (Winchester, MA), were "granting" the land to Thomas O. HUTCHINSON "for $1." Now, we had heard that the "2" HUTCHINSON Farms, bordering each other on opposite sides of Ridge Street were originally owned by William DODGE (brother-in-law) and Thomas O. HUTCHINSON. But, with the above statement, I remembered an old document I have which said : "John HUTCHINSON died in 1819 and willed the farm to his son, Thomas. .... This Thomas died in 1863, and the land was divided among four of his six heirs. ...." This would have been Thomas and Betsey (HOMER) HUTCHINSON (Thomas, b1784), and their married children were: John B. and Ruthy (WYMAN) HUTCHINSON Thomas O. and Mary (MASTERS) HUTCHINSON (brief marr. to Harriett LOCKE) Jacob Homer and Eliza (CROSBY) HUTCHINSON William and Elizabeth DODGE Gardner and Adeline SYMMES Francis and Maria JOHNSON (All died between 1875 and 1910 - some in Winchester.) Jacob and Eliza were my ancestors, and they only had 2 children live to adulthood: George HUTCHINSON and Adelaide Crosby HUTCHINSON. Thomas and Mary lived across the street in late 1800's, and they only had 2 children, Thomas and Mary, who never married (died 1933, 1936). John and Ruthy seem to have lived in Brooklyn, NY, from at least 1860 until the 1880's. I do not know about their children, but the 1870 census showed them with a son, Edward, 27, and a daughter, Sarah, 24. (In 1880 in NY Sarah was still living with them.) William and Elizabeth seem to have lived in Brooklyn, NY, from at least 1860 until the 1880's. The 1860 census has their children as: Elizabeth, 18, Maria, 16, Ann, 12, and Agnes, 2. The 1880 census has Elizabeth and Agnes still living with them. I haven't had time to look for the SYMMES and JOHNSON families in the censuses ! (But, I'm pretty sure that Gardner was related to the "SYMMES Hospital" family.) .. What is very curious to me is why I have never heard of Thomas and Mary's "second cousins," Miss or Mrs. Ruth LYNCH and Mrs. Mabel SPICER. .. Since I have just started looking for the MASTERS family of Mrs. Thomas O. HUTCHINSON (Mary Anna MASTERS), they could be cousins from that family. But, a researcher sent me the 1850 census showing William and Lydia (ROBINSON?) MASTERS and it only shows their daughter, Mary. I know this is a long posting, but I hope it will help someone else. By the way, I received more information on George HUTCHINSON and his son, Carleton HUTCHINSON, yesterday. And, it now appears that Carleton had a son, Leslie HUTCHINSON, who might have spent his life living in Cambridge, dying 1973 ???? ... Betty (near Lowell, MA)

In 1900 and 1910, the family was living in Waltham, MA (Middlesex Co.). In 1920, they had moved to Somerville, MA (Middlesex Co.). And, they were actually on Somerville Ave. (not Bow St.). The Index has the wrong age in 1920; I think he should be 67, so there is a chance he died while living in Somerville, MA. So, a letter to the City Clerk's Office in Somerville might get you some information on the family. (Might be a small charge for look-up.) In the 1900 Census, John and Mary TODD have their niece, Mary WRIGHT, living with them, and a John TODD is mentioned, but he is not a son. I can't read the handwriting, but it looks like the word starts with "F." John and Mary had been married for 21 years, and Mary had had a child, but had no living child. My first thought is that he was a "foster son." I can't read the birthyear or the age, but I think it says he was born in Scotland. And, if they arrived in 1882, then the younger John TODD had to be at least 18 in 1900.

Hello, While trying to learn more about the extended HUTCHINSON family who left their large farm in Winchester, MA, to my great-grandmother in 1936, I was reminded last night that I still didn't know very much about my great-grandmother's extended family. Her mother was born Adelaide Crosby HUTCHINSON in 1851 in Winchester to Jacob Homer and Eliza (CROSBY) HUTCHINSON of the other Farm across the street. Jacob and Eliza only had 2 children, the other being son, George H. HUTCHINSON. (Although last night my sister told me that they lost a daughter, Mary, when she was 16.) I only have sketchy information on George and Amy (?) HUTCHINSON, mostly from Census information. George was born in 1843 in Winchester. Amy _____ was born in Nova Scotia and immigrated in 1867. The only child I know if is Carleton HUTCHINSON, b~1870 in Winchester. In 1900, George and Amy had probably separated, as George was living in the home of his sister, "Addie," and her family in Arlington. I believe they sold their HUTCHINSON Farm in 1890's after the deaths of their parents. George died in 1907 and in 1910 was living as a widow in Cambridge. I only have sketchy information on their son, Carleton HUTCHINSON. Around 1898, he married Carrie _____, b~1881 MA, and they had a daughter, Gladys HUTCHINSON, b~1899, and a son, Leslie HUTCHINSON, b~1901. Actually I just found out about son, Leslie, last night when I was reviewing Census information. I have no further information on Gladys or Leslie, but the SSDI has people with the same names dying in the 1970's in MA. (Possibly Mr. Leslie HUTCHINSON continued to live in Cambridge, and that is where he died.) Carleton and Carrie must have divorced as the 1910 Census has him living with his wife, Mabel, in Boston, and in 1920 they were living in Hanover, MA. I have no idea whether there were more children for Carleton. I think Carleton later moved to Littleton, NH, but he did not die in NH. So, I'm wondering if he moved back to MA, and the SSDI has a Carleton dying in MA in the 1960's ! I was just curious if anyone knows anything about siblings, Gladys and Leslie HUTCHINSON. If they married, it would have been in the 1920's. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Jacob's brother, Thomas, and his wife, had only 2 children, and they lived long lives but never married. So, of the 2 brothers who owned the HUTCHINSON Farms in Winchester in 1800's into early 1900's, there is possibly only one male descendant ! P.S.2 Earlier this morning I posted queries on the HUTCHINSON Boards ! One of the things on my Genealogy-To-Do-List is to create a list of all the descendants of George and Margaret (?) HUTCHINSON and Thomas and Ann (BROWN) HUTCHINSON, who arrived in the MA Bay Colony in 1630. If I could create such a list, I could find out if other HUTCHINSON's living in Cambridge and Arlington were related to my HUTCHINSON's.
