Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> responded to my posting from the Concord Enterprise, 25 June 1913 to say: >I think I've seen the CENTER surname in your postings a couple times >recently ! There was a CENTER family in Arlington Heights from at >least 1950 through the 1970's? It must be very frustrating to search for a surname like CENTER or BROWN or WHITE in which all the non-surname iterations of the word pop up. For example, searching the MDX newspaper site for "center" results in 32 pages of hits, but they are almost all for things like "Arlington Center" or "Acton Center". The only surname hit is for the Carl Center who was going to camp in the Berkshires for nine weeks with the YMCA in 1913. -dja

Hi Dennis, I think I've seen the CENTER surname in your postings a couple times recently ! There was a CENTER family in Arlington Heights from at least 1950 through the 1970's? The father had already passed when I met the family when we joined the "Park Ave. Church" around 1954, but I remember them talking about him having something to do with "music" in Boston ! I knew the family through the church up through the 1960's when I moved out of Arlington, and then occasionally corresponded with their daughter after that ! I don't know anything about their family-tree !

Hello, My HUTCHINSON ancestors before me, for several generations, and my sister and I have tried to learn more about the two HUTCHINSON Farms in Winchester, MA. My sister and I - only when we have time ! I dabbled in the research last week and over the weekend, and tried to get the Census information and summarize it ! I know that the HUTCHINSON's were on these Farms throughout the 1800's and possibly from the 1700's, and family members continued to live on the Farms up near 1910 for one farm and up to 1960 for the other farm (19 and 21 Ridge St., at the intersection with Hutchinson Road). So, I was quite surprised when I couldn't find the HUTCHINSON's living on the Farms in ..1900.. ! I checked some more and found out one brother, Jacob, and his wife, Eliza, had died during the 1890's ! And, their adult-children who lived with them probably couldn't afford to maintain the large farm, so they moved to Arlington ! (Two IRWIN brothers seem to have moved there just prior to 1910.) I checked further and found Mrs. Mary HUTCHINSON (wife of Thomas O.), and their 2 adult children living on High St., in .. Westford ! I found this very strange ! Adding to the confusion was that there is no High Street in Westford ! Mrs. HUTCHINSON was living right next door to a very large LOCKE family (8 children, 5 servants). So, I posted a query on the LOCKE List and a person who researches these LOCKE's in Arlington and Winchester wrote to tell me this is a major mistake ! That LOCKE family and Mrs. HUTCHINSON were living on High Street in ..Winchester.. in 1900 ! (High St. runs off of Ridge St., so it was very near the HUTCHINSON Farms.)* So, I wanted to alert researchers that not all Census information you read is correct ! I access the HeritageQuest Census data through my Library ! The LOCKE researcher got his Census data from another source ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: A quick summary of the families I'm discussing is that: Thomas HUTCHINSON and Betsey HOMER (of Arlington and Winchester) had several children, including 2 sons, Jacob Homer and Thomas Oliver HUTCHINSON. During most of the later 1800's, Jacob and Eliza (CROSBY) HUTCHINSON lived on one farm and Thomas and Mary (MASTERS) HUTCHINSON lived on the other farm (across the street from each other - Thomas' farm was much larger). Jacob and Eliza only had 2 children, a son, George HUTCHINSON and a daughter, Adelaide Crosby HUTCHINSON, my great-great-grandmother, born on farm in 1851. Thomas and Mary HUTCHINSON only had 2 children, Thomas Masters HUTCHINSON and Mary A. HUTCHINSON. (Thomas O. HUTCHINSON had a very brief marriage to Harriett LOCKE; she died in 1848, and he then married Mary MASTERS in 1851.) (By the way, Mrs. Betsey (HOMER) HUTCHINSON didn't die until 1858. So, the researchers having Thomas HUTCHINSON with a second wife are incorrect. It was another Thomas HUTCHINSON who married Betsy BLACKINGTON (sp?) (don't have my notes handy).) My gr-gr-grandmother, Adelaide HUTCHINSON, married Charles W. RICE from Maine, and they had 2 daughters, Louise and Edith. We knew that they "separated" at some point, but the 1880 census has Mrs. RICE and her young daughters living in her parents' home (HUTCHINSON Farm). My great-grandmother, Mrs. Louise (RICE) KIDDER, had also separated from her husband. Around 1915-1920, he returned to his hometown of Princeton, ME, near Calais, ME, and remained there until his death in 1943. She became a single-parent of 3 school-age children. At some point she became the housekeeper and caregiver of two siblings, Thomas M. HUTCHINSON and Miss Mary HUTCHINSON. I am told that they never married ! So, when Mary died in 1936, she left the farm to my great-grandmother ! It was a very large farm, and an old (not well built) Farmhouse with not very many amenities. So, she and her disabled son had trouble maintaining it ! My father moved his young family into the farmhouse in 1946. I lived there for 7 years ! My great-grandmother died in 1958, and my "Uncle Clinton" was forced to sell the large farm in 1960. "Within months" - the farmhouse came down, and the building of a large subdivision of fancy houses began ! And, part of the farm was across the street, and that is where St. Eulalia's Church was built !! I don't know how long the IRWIN family kept the other HUTCHINSON Farm, possibly up to the 1960's or 1970's ! The last time I drove through that neighborhood .. the Farmhouse was still there, but most of the land had been sold off ... for a large subdivision of new, fancy houses !

Hi Jacki, It was probably me who offered you the KIDDER information from the History of Billerica !

Here is some news on this issue. This is from Rootsweb. 2006-03-26 SpamCop's listing of RootsWeb as spam Update: Sun 26 Mar 2006 No current blocks are in place, however, this does not preclude SpamCop again listing us through collateral damage. If ISPs are willing to whitelist our servers, we are very prepared to provide details. Past message 2: We have discussed the matter with SpamCop and there has been a temporary resolution. This does not prevent any further listing or mean that there is a permanent solution in place. We are looking to some of the issues that SpamCop has and are talking about our issues with their processes. Here's hoping for a mutually agreeable solution! Past message 1: Subscribers whose ISPs use SpamCop to block spam mail will find that they will have lost email and may have been unsubscribed from mailing lists. We are happy to provide RootsWeb's list server details to ISPs if they wish to whitelist our mailing list servers. We would require either a working webpage or email address in which to contact your ISP. I forgot to look at the name on the earlier post. The gentleman was correct. Money talks. If an ISP starts losing too many people because of the over aggressive handling of spam notices by Spamcop, they'll drop Spamcop.

For about a week we had a lot of bounces by spamcop. AOL, hotmail, and a couple others do not use spamcop. However, if you are on a relatively local ISP, you should check the archives and see if you missed any posts. If so, it is an extremely high probability that your ISP uses spamcop. You need to notify your ISP that the list is not spam. How does this happen? It only takes ONE person to cause the problem. They make only one report and spamcop puts the list on its blacklist. It then takes about 24-48 hours of no posts to get it clear.

A couple of years ago - someone on this list sent me the write up on JONATHAN KIDDER, b. March 26, 1728, Billerica, m. MARY LAMBERT, of Reading. I have lost it. I have the KIDDER listing (see below) but would love to have that Billerica listing too. I just cannot figure out what happened to the one sent me. I am sure it was in the notes section for both MARY & JONATHAN in my FTM at one time, but is gone now. If I get this again, I will post it to some Rootsweb boards, just in case! Thanks!

I usually just email them and ask if they have the obits I am looking for. I include my mailing address. Most of the time that I email the libraries they will send me the copy of the obit at no charge. If I have quite a few, they will tell me and the cost and ask if I want them mailed to me. I don't think I have every paid more than $5.00 for info. I also do that with towns in ME and MA and they do the same thing, a free obit or a small charge. Good Luck! Carol

I didn't see Eugene in 1930 census, but I ran out of time & didn't do a very good search. I will try to do that, if you need it. By the way, I forgot to add a notation on the 1920 census. Where Eugene shows as a "daughter" was not a typing error on my part, that's what the census enumerator wrote. First time I've seen that particular error but probably won't be the last, lol. Have a pleasant Sunday. Linda
