Hi - thanks to a good suggestion from a Mamiddler ;-) I was able to get the death dates for my Mulligan relatives. Would someone be kind enough to look up their obituaries for me next time they visit the Arlington library please? This is their info from the Town Hall: We have a death record for Michael Mulligan who died on March 25, 1954. He was married to Catherine Rowley. His parents were William Mulligan and Catherine Lundy. We have a death record for Catherine Mulligan who died on September 29, 1954. She was married to Michael Mulligan. Her parents were Owen Riley and Catherine Duffy. They are both buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, MA. Thank you! Susan Daily

Hello, Yesterday I spent a couple hours at the Billerica Library's Local History Room. I wanted to look at 2 new books which they had added on Billerica's history. One of the booklets turned out to just be some papers in a 3-ring binder. If anyone is familiar with the "historic homes" in town, it turns out that the large "The Brown House" on River Street actually was last known as the "John Nelson PARKER House." (Brown house has recently been painted blue.) One of the papers says: "About 1805, Stephen PARKER bought out then heirs of Solomon KIDDER (who had died in 1776 in White Plains, NY) and thus returned to his (Stephen's) ancestral homestead -- Stephen's mother, Abigail, was Solomon's sister." A few weeks ago I visited an historian in town and saw a map from 1700's (?) showing James KIDDER (patriarch) had a 30-acre lot, which, in current terms, would have run from Billerica Center, down the left side of River Street all the way to the shore of the Concord River. (The matching lot on the right side of River Street was Jonathan DANFORTH's homestead.) The other book which I wanted to look at was a new book being sold by the Billerica Historical Society: "Pioneers of Billerica - Settling the Shawshine Wilderness: 1654-1660." I turns out to be a small paperback with an unusual format; it lists 45 original settlers, but only offers a "chart of their family" on the left and a one-page description on the right. James KIDDER's information is not new to me, but it did say something I didn't know: "In 1656, Kidder bought considerable property .. but did not move .. until 1658. He had a 30-acre tract by the Common, 26 acres on Loes Plain, 60 acres on Fox Hill, 39 acres on Heath Brook in Tewksbury, various meadows and more. ... " On a quick review of the book, I found the author, Shirley BARNES, tended to describe some historical facts in terms of today; for instance Tewksbury did not exist in the 1600's ! And, she mentioned that James had moved from the Menotomy River in Arlington, and Arlington did not exist until the 1800's ! From the same set of great-grandparents, I am also descended from Simon CROSBY, b1637 Cambridge, and his story is also in this book. Another mentioned in the book is Gouldin MOORE (aka Golden MORE), who was an uncle to James KIDDER's wife, nee' Anna MOORE. This says "In 1658, Gouldin, Joanne, her Champney children, the the three Moore youngesters moved to Billerica, where they bought James PARKER's original grant, with a house lot of 14 acres. The land was on both sides of Andover Road in the Center....." ... To get to the books about Lowell, I had seen the "Illustrated History of Lowell and Vicinity Massachusetts" by divers hands . in a Library before. But, I decided to take a closer look at it; only to discover what an "encyclopedia" in one volume it is ! It is a very large, very thick book chock full of details, and with lots of pictures ! I was able to copy about a dozen pages on the Wamesit Purchase which I was interested in ! (Strangely ... I had e-mailed the "Lowell Historical Society" a few weeks ago, and they e-mailed back and told me that they had very little information "before 1820" ... and that I should write to the "Tewksbury Historical Society." The information I wanted .. is right there in that book ! (This is not the first time the Lowell Historical Society has disappointed me !) James and Anna (MOORE) KIDDER's son, John KIDDER, was one of ~50 men (association) who bought "the Indian land" from TYNG and HINCHMAN in 1686. John married Lydia PARKER of Chelmsford and moved there, and supposedly raised their 12 children there, all born there between 1685 and 1709. What I have been trying to figure out is how long the KIDDER family or descendants lived on that land ! I also picked up a used-book from eBay, "Cotton was King." In that book I was reminded that it was 1792 when Gov. HANCOCK signed the charter for "the Locks & Canals on the Merrimack River" ... and the Pawtucket Canal was completed in 1796. I believe this canal, the Merrimack and Concord Rivers became the outline of what we now know as "Downtown Lowell." And, I also believe that the mills weren't built here until after 1800 ! This means that this entire area was still "East Chelmsford's farm land" -- throughout the 1700's ! So, my big question is: Did the KIDDER's remain living there? The "Cotton.." book shows a map from 1832 which shows the entire area -- including, I think, the "Wamesit Purchase land," and labeling it as "Belvidere Village." (Lowell annexed off in 1826.) (Some of John KIDDER's sons seem to have lived in "West Chelmsford" - like Thomas, whose home became part of Westford.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. By the way, I did spot a few pages in the "Lowell" book on the history of the Police Department: "The Lowell Police Force of 1896 is the evolution of the rural tything-man and constable, who the days when the city was pasture and farm land was the terror of small boys and scolding women in the quiet old town of Chelmsford. The the farms grew into hamlets and the hamlets became the town of Lowell, the simple methods of preserving peace of the mother town continued. It was only when the town became the city, and Lowell took on the dignities and responsibilities of a municipality in 1836, that it became necessary to organize a police force." (So far I only see the jail on Thorndike St. mentioned; but I will keep looking for information on the "first" jail -- which we suspect was the building on Fletcher St. which has housed "McKITTRICK's Hardware Store" for many years !) (By the way, I drove down Fletcher St. a few days ago and poked around a bit, and was surprised to find out how many churches exist within a few blocks of Fletcher St. !! This includes .3. Greek churches ! Area is included on 1832 map. Oh, I just noticed there is a list of the churches in 1832: The print is very hard to read, but it looks like there were 10 churches at that time.)

Hello, Yesterday, while browsing in a local thrift shop, I came across a copy of a "High School Yearbook" from Dracut High and it is for the Class of 1980. There is nothing really "historical" about it, but it is full of photos ! I just don't like to let "old yearbooks" get tossed away, so I bought it. If anyone has an interest in it, please e-mail me privately. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Last fall I was in another local thrift shop and found a "college yearbook" for Boston University's "Class of 1964" ! I went to B.U. from 1962 to 1964, but was not part of the "Senior Class" for that year ! I bought it for the same reason ! But, I also found it amusing that the photos of the students look so similar to my High School Class of 1962 ! (Of course some students from B.U. in 1964 did come from Arlington !) P.S.2 On the subject of "old photos," while looking for something on the Internet a few days ago about photography studios, like "Loring Studios" and "Purdy Studios," I came across a web site run by a man who has made it his "hobby" to "rescue" old photos found in "any kind of shop" across the U.S.A. He says he now has over 60,000 old photos. I was curious if anyone has ever corresponded with Tom, and whether he has made any "match-up's" with families researching the people ! www.freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rampage/INDEXTWO1.txt

Hi Dennis, The "U.S. Bunting Club" (or similar name) still exists in Lowell - or at least their building still exists. It's located where Lowell, Billerica, and Tewksbury meet !

2 Obituaries Compliments of the Worcester Public Library: Sunday Telegram May 7, 1899 Page 2 (PHOTO of sketch entitled: DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL) DIES OF MUMPS AT NINETY-NINE. DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, OLDEST VETERAN OF HARVARD COLLEGE. DEFIES ZERO WEATHER WITH NEVER AN OVERCOAT. Chuckles Over Croquet and Whist to the Last. Special to The Telegram BARRE, May 6 - DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, up to the time of his death the oldest living graduate of Harvard, died this afternoon at 2:30 at the home of his daughter, MRS. J. C. BARTHOLOMEW, at the age of 99 years, 6 months and 8 days. The doctor was taken seriously ill Wednesday afternoon. He had been having a bad cold for two weeks. Wednesday he worked a short while in his strawberry patch, then went into the house and took a nap. On awakening he felt pains in his neck. Since then he had been confined to his bed. DR. HENRY J. WOLCOTT claimed mumps and consequent complications were the cause of death. DR. RUSSELL was born in Carlisle, Oct. 28, 1799, and was Barre's oldest inhabitant. He attended the public schools of Concord, and Groton academy, and after teaching several terms he fitted for college at Westford academy. He entered Harvard in 1822, and was graduated in the class of 1826. After graduation he resumed teaching but later decided on studying medicine and became a student with DR. PROCTOR of Lexington. He also studied with DR. DOANE of Boston, and in part of his three years' course was assistant physician at McLean Asylum. After completing his studies with DR. DOANE, in 1831, he went to Barre and opened an office in a house on the corner where since has stood the residence of GEORGE E. BATES. He boarded with MEHITABLE CALDWELL, in what is known as the DESPER house, then situated at the corner of Union and Pleasant streets. DR. RUSSELL practiced medicine 20 years in Barre and surrounding towns. In 1836 he married MARY A. WARREN of Hubbardston. His only son died at the age of 8 years. The older daughter, CAROLINE, married WILLIAM HOWLAND of Lynn. She and her husband died several years ago. The younger daughter, MARION, married J. C. BARTHOLOMEW, native of Hardwick, and since a prominent business man in Barre. DR. RUSSELL was the eldest of five children. Only one survives, JAMES SULLIVAN RUSSELL of Lowell, aged 92. The two brothers were wont to pass their summers together in Barre, and afforded much enjoyment by their display of rivalry over croquet on MRS. BARTHOLOMEW's lawn. The doctor was also of wide repute as a whist devotee. DR. RUSSELL was a man of robust health, and scorned an overcoat. In the coldest days of last winter he wore no extra garment, but buffeted the bleak winds with elastic step(?). He kept a diary all his life, and managed his own business affairs. He was a director of the First national bank, and always present at directors' meetings. He was of methodical habits, and strict to observe natures health laws. ============================================== Worcester Evening Gazette May 8, 1899 Page 8 WILLIAM L. RUSSELL DEAD. HARVARD'S OLDEST ALUMNUS PASSES AWAY AT BARRE. DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, Harvard's oldest alumnus, died Saturday after a short illness of the mumps, at his home in Barre. WILLIAM LEONARD (LAMBERT) RUSSELL was born in Carlisle, near Concord, Oct. 28, 1799, and therefore lacked less than six months of having lived a century. The first of DR. RUSSELL'S ancestors to come to this country was WILLIAM RUSSELL, who landed at Plymouth in 1630. His son, BENJAMIN, settled near Concord, and in 1680 built the house in which the doctor was born 119 years later. When 15 years old young RUSSELL went to live with SAMUEL HOAR at Concord. He sawed and split the wood, took care of the horse and cow and kept the weeds out of the garden. In 1818 he began teaching school in the winter, studying during the summer. One of his teachers gave him the books he needed in preparing for college, and he recited to REV. EBRA RIPLEY of Concord. DR. RUSSELL entered Harvard in 1822, and as graduated in the class of 1826. After leaving college, DR. RUSSELL taught school in Beverly and Lexington, and then he studied medicine with a DR. PROCTOR of Lexington and at the McLean insane asylum. He settled in Barre in 1831 and lived there ever since, practicing steadily for 20 years. He married in 1836 a daughter of CALVIN WARREN of Hubbardston. Of the four children born to the couple one is living. MRS. JOHN C. BARTHOLOMEW of Barre, with whom the doctor made his home. His wife died in 1893. DR. RUSSELL was the best-known man in Barre, and the people of that Worcester county town always spoke enthusiastically of him and his marvelous vigor. He was a skilful whist player, and found great enjoyment in his favorite game. He celebrated his 99th birthday last October by enjoying a birthday letter from his brother JAMES, who is 91, and a visit from his granddaughter, MISS HOWLAND of Cambridge. A number of friends were invited in for whist in the evening. The Tuesday, before his birthday, he, with his daughter went to Cambridge, returning the same day, apparently, not at all fatigued. DR. RUSSELL in 1894 told a reporter this interesting story of his college life: "I had finished my preparatory work at the Westford academy in Concord, together with five or six other young fellows, all of whom had the same object in view. Our little delegation from Westford entered college the same year. I remember the men and their names perfectly. There was a fellow named ADDISON BROWN of New Ipswich, WILLIAM PARKER, EDWARD JARVIS of Concord, GEORGE WASHINGTON HOSMER of Concord, a young man named KEBBINS, who hailed from Alabama, and JULIAN ABBOTT, who was my chum and who died about two years ago. There were 52 men in my class, some of whom achieved high places in various walks of life. There was RICHARD HILDRETH, the historian, who was a good writer, as his history of the United States will testify. He entered college from Gloucester. WILLIAM PARKER, who was a native of Chelmsford, became exceptionally successful as a physician and surgeon in New York city, and ANDREW P. PEABODY, who was born in Beverly, won renown as a divine and preacher. ROBERT RANTOUL became a senator and distinguished politician. I did not know OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES personally. He was in college when I was, but I knew him only by reputation. A few of us studied Greek under GEORGE BANCROFT, the historian, when I was a freshman, and I recollect that one day there was a disturbance in his recitation, which resulted in the disappearance of two of the members of the class of "36." DR. RUSSELL attended the commencement at Harvard regularly until within the past few years, and was of course made much of by the college authorities. ====================================================== Note: WILLIAM's birth name was WILLIAM LAMBERT RUSSELL, his great grandmother was MARY (LAMBERT) KIDDER originally from Reading, MA. WILLIAM was my 2 great grandfather's (GEORGE WASHINGTON RUSSELL's) oldest brother. His siblings were EMERSON, MARY ANN, JAMES SULLIVAN and GEORGE WASHINGTON RUSSELL, all were born in Carlisle in the house built by their 3 great grandfather BENJAMIN RUSSELL IN 1680. Would love to find WILLIAM LAMBERT RUSSELL's descendants.

Hello, For several years I've been trying to "connect the dots" between the descendants of Bray WILKINS of 1600's Middleton, MA, with some WILKINS men who moved from MA to "Maine" around 1775 ! Researchers have found that the David and "Molly" WILKINS from Middleton, MA, did got to Maine with their children and settled in Lewiston, ME. But, there was a William WILKINS in "Maine" around the same time, and David had a brother, William ! The following is the information on this William: "William WILKINS, son of David and Annah (THOMAS) WILKINS, was born May 21, 1746, in Middleton, Mass. He married Sarah BANCROFT, who was the daughter of an Indian, whose mother was a PICKETT. Sarah was received into the church May 10, 1772. Two of her children died of 'canker.'' Children: Sarah, (no other info) Eunice, b. 1771, married James NICHOLS, no children Jethro, b1774 (no other info) Last year I placed queries about this family on several Lists, including the MAEssex List, and received good information. One point learned was that James and Eunice NICHOLS lived in Middleton, MA, and Eunice lived a long life (no children). My "guess" is that William and Sarah (BANCROFT) WILKINS left MA ~1775 and moved to "Maine" - settling near Pittston, ME, or somewhere around Augusta, ME. Another "guess" is that they had one more child while living there, and he would have been my ancestor, Samuel WILKINS, b~1775 in the same area of "Maine." (There are no records for who Samuel's parents' were.) Somewhere around 1800, somewhere around Unity, ME, Samuel married Electra "Leeta" ______, and they had at least 5 children. I am descended from 2 of them, as my great-great-grandfather, Joseph KIDDER, of Princeton, ME, returned from fighting in the Civil War to marry his first-cousin, Clarissa WILKINS. Since the BANCROFT name has been brought up, I thought I would offer this information as an FYI ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) ... While looking in the archives of the MAEssex List for my postings to remind myself of the above details, I found a response from "Cynthia" in Jan. 2005 - reminding Listers about her "Can-Deerfield-Attack" List ! (Cynthia / BunnyDust passed away suddenly last fall !)

Search my transcriptions - what I have on Bancroft Subject: BANCROFT Source: Biographical Review Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of Middlesex County, Massachusetts 1898 Biographical Review Publishing Company - Boston "Who among men art thou, and thy years how many, good friend? - Xenophanes. pp.197-199 The Bancroft Family of Tyngsboro, Mass., having been identified with the locality for over one hundred and sixty years (in 1898) - its ancestry is traced to Lieut. Thomas Bancroft who came to Mass. from England when abt ten or twelve years old. He prob. lived for some time with his parents in Lynn, Mass. The records of Dedham show that Thomas Bancroft was married in 1647 to Alice Bacon and that she died in 1648 and that he m. (2) a few months later to Elizabeth Metcalf. He owned land in Reading and also in Lynnfield and is said to have resid- ed at different periods in each of those towns. Ebenezer Bancroft, his thrid son by his wife Elizabeth Metcalf married Abigail Eaton and settled in Lynnfield. Lieut. Timothy Bancroft son of Ebenezer, was born in 1709 and in 1734 he located at a point on the Merrimac River now the town of Tyngsboro. His military commission which bears the date of June 27, 1754, was signed by Gov. William Shirley; and he served under Col. Eleazer Tyng. He married Elizabeth Farwell, dau. of Henry Farwell, one of the pioneers in this town and reared ten children. Lieut. Timothy Bancroft died in 1772. Colonel Ebenezer Bancroft, one of his sons, was born at Tyngsboro, April 1, 1738. In 1754 when but sixteen years old, he joined a company of soldiers enroute for Canada. After taking part in the French and Indian War, during which he suffered many hardships, he with some others succeeded in picking their way through the wilderness to their homes. In 1757 he was commissioned an Ensign in Capt. John Alford Tyng's company which served under Rogers and Stark; and it is probable that he was present at the siege and capture of Quebec. On May 27, 1775, he marched to Cambridge to join the patriot forces there assembled. He was commissioned Captain in Col. Ebenezer Bridge's regiment at Watertown and at the battle of Bunker Hill, he commanded a company of fifty-eight, officers and men, forty-two of whom were residents of Dunstable. He kept firing as long as his ammunition lasted, and is said to have been the last man to leave the works, making his escape by clubbing a passage out with a musket, losing in the melee the fore- finger of his right hand. He was commissioned Second Major of the Seventh Middlesex County Regiment, Col. Simeon Spaulding, Feb. 8, 1776; was made First Major June 2, 1778; was on April 21, 1780 advanced to the rank of Lieut. Colonel of the Seventh Regiment, under Brigadier General Eleazar Brooks; was on June 28 assigned to Col. Cyprian Howe's regiment which was ordered to re-enforce the Continental army in Rhode Island; and he was honor- ably discharged Oct 30 of the same year. He must have rejoined the army, however, as his name appears upon the payrolls as late as Feb. 19, 1783; and his military re- cord probably ended with the close of the Rev. War. On March 24, 1760 Col. Ebenezer Bancroft bought the Jonathan Farwell estate adjoining his father's farm; and on May 5, 1763, he m. Susanna Fletcher, dau of Deacon Joseph Fletcher and grandaughter of Capt. Joseph Fletcher and wife, Sarah (Adams) Fletcher of Chelmsford, Mass. Being cognizant of the fact that the Declaration of Independence was to be signed on July 4, 1776, he on that day planted an American elm tree in his yard and discharged his musket thirteen times in salute! This ceremony he continued as long as he lived, adding a round to the number for each new State admitted to the Union. Colonel Ebenezer Bancroft died upon his farm at Tyngsboro, September 27, 1827 in his ninetieth year. His son, Ebenezer Bancroft 3rd. was for many years a justice of the peace in Tyngsboro and his grandson, the fourth Ebenezer Bancroft died at the homestead July 12, 1891 aged eighty-three years. His widow was still re- siding there in 1889. Her son Ebenezer Bancroft the 5th, great-grandson of the Colonel, died from the effects of a railroad accident on Feb. 12, 1891, aged forty-four years. On July 5, 1871 he married Carrie Nichols of Nashua N.H. and had three children, namely: Minnie Ardell Bancroft; Lila May Bancroft and Ebenezer Luther Bancroft. Deacon Jonathan Bancroft, son of Lieut. Timothy Bancroft and brother of Colonel Ebenezer Bancroft, was born Aug. 11th 1750. He was a member of Capt. Leonard Butterfield's company of Dunstable (minutemen) and was a Sergeant in Capt Ford's company in September 1777, having previously it is thought, taken part in the battle of Bennington, was made Second Lieutenant in 1781 and in 1786 was comm- issioned First Lieutenant of the Seventh Middlesex County Regiment. He was a prominent member of the Unitarian church and for many years a Deacon. He died July 11, 1815. Major Jonathan Bancroft, son of Deacon Jonathan Bancroft was born Feb. 9, 1774. He settled upon a farm in New Hampshire just over the state line. His commission as Major in the NH militia was signed by Gov. William Plummer June 17, 1812. He married Sarah Taylor of Dracut, Mass. on July 4, 1798 and had a family of two sons - Jonathan and Ephraim Bancroft and eight daughters Major Jonathan Bancroft died Sept. 24, 1838. He was a Deacon of the Unitarian church. Jonathan Bancroft the third, his eldest son, was born in Nashua, NH June 21, 1811. He was reared at the old home- stead of his ancestor, Timothy Bancroft, which he occu- pied until his death Aug. 27, 1888; and the present (1898) residence was erected by him in 1838. He was a citizen of prominence in his day and served as Tax Collector for thirteen years.

He attended the State Agricultural College at Amherst, Mass., and gave his attention to agricultural pursuits. He was a Republican in politics and served upon the School Board for five years.

Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth ______________________________________________ Subject: BANCROFT, John Source: History of Lynn, MA Annals of Lynn - 1638 p.171 "The first burial in the Old Burying Ground, at the west end of the Common, so far as is certainly known, took place this year." "The remains interred were those of John Bancroft, the same individual spoken of on page 118, as ancestor of George Bancroft, the distinguished historian." p.118 John Bancroft died in 1637. He had two sons, Thomas and John, and his descendants remain. The name was sometimes spelled Barcroft; indeed it is questionable whether that was not the original spelling, the change easily occuring. Jane, the wife with whom this settler was blessed, does not seem to have been the most amiable of women. By the record of the Court held at Boston in 1633, it appears that, "Mr. John Barcroft doeth acknowledge to owe unto our Sovereign, the King, the sum of x1l and Mr. Samuel Mavacke the sum of xxl etc. The condition of this recognizance is that Jane Barcroft, wife of the said John, shall be of good behaviour towards all persons." George Bancroft, the eminent historian, is a lineal descendant from this Lynn Planter.
