I spent a few weeks at Symmes when I was in 5th grade. It was not my only visit. I understand my grandmother helped with the fund raising to build the original building, which later became the nurses residence. If you go to the MDX newspaper website and enter Symmes in the search engine you will get hits on nine pages. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Middlesex County Massachusetts Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.rootsweb.com/~mamidnws/index.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hi again, I have just become curious when the original "LOCKE homestead" was built on Ridge St. in what is now Winchester. And I was curious if it was built around the same time as my "HUTCHINSON homestead" up the street from it. But, I just found this page which says that the LOCKE house was built in 1827. And, the original HUTCHINSON house was reportly built in ~1727 - 100 years before ! I know there are people interested in the "WRIGHT - LOCKE Farm" (which still exists and is an "historic property." Do any of you know whether that date is correct? Does that mean that the HUTCHINSON house was the only house in the "Hill District" (formerly "Pine Hill") during the 1700's ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philemon_Wright/Asa_Locke_Farm OOPS. I continued to look on-line and found that it was the WRIGHT's who owned the farm in the 1700's: The Wright-Locke Farm has operated continuously since the 17th century when Thomas Wright established a farm at the intersection of High and Ridge Streets in what was then the town of Woburn. Among his children was a son, Philemon, born in 1760, who purchased the farm from his father in 1789. Philemon sold the farm in 1800 to Josiah Locke and moved to Canada where he became the first settler of Canada's National Capital Region and founded the town of Wrightstown, later incorporated as the town of Hull. He later went on to serve as the first representative from Ottawa County in the Lower Canada Assembly. Josiah Locke sold the farm to his son Asa in 1804 and the farm remained in the possession of the Locke family until the mid 20th century. The farm was then sold to the Hamilton family who continued to operate the farm until it was purchased by the Town of Winchester in 2007. What makes the Wright-Locke farm unique is that it has survived as an urban working farm into the 21st century while retaining the configuration of a 19th century farm. The main barn was constructed in 1827 and the present day farmhouse was constructed in 1828. http://wlfarm.org/ That means that there was a previous, large house at 78 Ridge Street stood during the 1700's and up to 1820. Perhaps it burned down ~1820. I don't remember reading whether that original house is shown in pictures someplace. Thank you for your time. Only days away from "March" more "snow." Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: http://www.baystateorganic.org/MA/MAgrowers-W.html

Hello, A week ago, over the weekend, my computer had to spend a few days in a repair shop. Since I couldn't use it, :o( I decided to go through my box of HUTCHINSON papers and reread some of the old documents which an ancestor, Thomas, wrote between 1890-1920's. Also in another later report, I was reminded that the "HUTCHINSON homestead" at 21 Ridge St. in Winchester had been a "large, fancy house and outbuildings" during the 1800's. And "large parties were held there for 'Arlington society.'" The property held a large, attractive house, at least one "carriage house," a large barn, and probably other outbuildings. Unfortunately, they all burned down in 1883. Ridge Street was the main street going through the "Hill District" of Winchester, and it was very close to both the Woburn line at the bottom of the hill and the Arlington line at the top of the hill. And the families in the "Hill District" found it easier to shop in Woburn and Arlington than to travel down to "Winchester Center." (In 1850 when Winchester became a town, a map showed only 3 surnames on that Hill - HUTCHINSON, LOCKE, JOHNSON. (DODGE was a sister to HUTCHINSON).) My first question is: Does anyone know who the people of "Arlington society" were during the 1840's to 1880's? During the 1830's, Jacob HUTCHINSON married Eliza CROSBY of Arlington, whose brother, John CROSBY, ran the large "CROSBY Farm" in Arlington. So, the CROSBY's were probably part of the "society people." My 2nd question is about the "homestead." By reviewing the old documents, I was reminded that the large house at 21 Ridge St. was built ~1724. That is when the HUTCHINSON family bought one part of the large GARDNER Farm from Rev. John GARDNER. So, the "HUTCHINSON house / homestead" stood from the 1720's until the fire in 1883. We lived in the replacement farmhouse which was built with much less money, much plainer, simpler. But, the large attic had many remainders from the previous house. Yet, none of us ever found a picture of the "fancy house" which existed during the early 1800's. I have written to the Winchester Historical Society and the Arlington Historical Society, an neither organization knows of any pictures of that property. (I just remembered to write to the Woburn Historical Society last week.) Does anyone have a suggestion as to which office or group "might" have such a picture, even a drawing? I was also reminded that it was probably my ancestor, Jacob HUTCHINSON, who built the 2nd farmhouse across the street at 18 Ridge Street ~1840. That house still stands. And, we have pictures of that house and the replacement farmhouse probably from 1900. * Betty (near Lowell, MA) * One of the pictures shows the LOCKE house which was just down the street from the farm. I don't know when that house was torn down. The larger LOCKE house at the bottom of Ridge St. still stands. Actually I'm curious whether the original HUTCHINSON house and the LOCKE house were similar - during early 1800's. (I think I already mentioned that I'm curious who the JOHNSON families were during the early 1800's.)

Hi Jane, 2 of my sisters and I were born in a "house used as a hospital" in Cambridge during 1940's, but our younger siblings were born at Symmes Hospital (top of a hill, named Hospital Road).* I believe construction has already started on building a "Condo complex" on the site. And, just a reminder for people not in MA that most of the "weekly newspapers" for the Greater Boston area are on-line. And, if you go to the site for the "Arlington Advocate," you should find many articles about what has been going on at the Hospital site for a few years. If you go to "Google maps" ?? you can probably find Hospital Road, Arlington, in one of the "photos." Compared to other hospitals in the area, it and the "Winchester Hospital" were / are relatively small hospitals. (I believe I read that both hospitals were built around the same time.)

Hello, The "Tewksbury State Hospital" (aka Tewksbury Almshouse) hasn't been mentioned in a while. But, someone e-mailed me yesterday because she found one of my old postings in the archives of the Tewksbury_Hospital List. When I went to look at the archives of the List to remind myself of what was discussed a few years ago, I remembered the researcher, Jodi, and her hard work of "transcribing records." Her previous web site was no longer available, so I was told the current one: http://www.tewksburyhospitalcemetery.ma-vitalrecords.org/ If you have a relative or ancestor who you are not sure where they died, they could have gone to a State Hospital / Almshouse to be treated and then didn't recover. A quick look at one of the data bases in that web site, and I was reminded how many of the people came from other countries. And that reminded me of all the hard work of the late researcher, Shirley. She had transcribed records in Lowell about "Tewksbury" - but where the people came from Nova Scotia. She placed the information on the Nova Scotia List, and I found it very interesting. It was surprising how many young ladies came down to MA - looking for their husband or boyfriend - because they were pregnant. And many of them ended up at the Hospital and gave birth there. http://library.uml.edu/clh/ www.rootsweb.com Mailing List INDEX or "Find a List" I originally subscribed to this List ~5 yrs. ago because I had finally found out what happened to my ancestor, John DEXTER. Mr./Mrs. DEXTER had come up from CT ~1888 as a couple in their late 50's, and Mrs. DEXTER died in 1899. But for several years I didn't know where he went or died. In 1892, the couple had adopted a little girl, and she lived with them until 1899. But, as a 10-yr-old, she was placed in the "Boston Female Orphans Asylum." Then John went to live in a nearby "boarding house." I think it was a death-notice in a CT newspaper which finally told me where he went in 1904. (I'll mention below some tidbits of the story. Actually, I believe a summary of the story is at Jodi's web site.) Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: As I've mentioned on the Lists for several years, I believe that John and Mary (CLARK) DEXTER were the maternal grandparents of my grandmother. I believe their married daughter in CT had a pregnancy outside of her marriage in 1888. That lady went to her dying day proclaiming - NOT ! But, my "very distant cousin" in CT recently received an old photo of Mrs. Dexter, and there is definitely a family resemblance between her and my grandmother. I was able to find descendants of the "hopefully" birth-mother, and wrote to them. But, well over 100 yrs. later, that family won't discuss the possibility. The DEXTER's "knew" who the birth-father was and they never told my grandmother. Some day I will write up a story about my grandmother and find a way to publish it. Anyone know of a "genealoty-story contest" I could enter? By the way, when Mrs. Dexter died in 1899, her remains were returned to CT. In 1905, Mr. Dexter was buried on the grounds of the Hospital. (Adding to the mystery.) -- Remember to check the archives of the Lists and Boards for both your surnames and place-names.

I can only add my amazement that such action is being considered by the US. In Australia, we unfortunately do not have any preserved records like your US censuses. A census is taken in Australia every 5yrs, but does not contain any personal information. The results are used for the future plans for health, housing, population origins etc. The US does not realise who fortunate they are to have access to such a wonderful resource. In Australia, I have to rely upon BDM's to find ancestors (a very hit and miss operations at times). I wish Australia had followed the US lead and kept the original forms which its citizens fill out. Is there a email address that I can contact to plead my case? I hope someone sees reason and retains these wonderful pieces of history so future generations can trace the passage of their ancestors.

Sidney Augustus Bull - Carlisle (Mass. : Town) - 1920 - 365 pages - Page 328 George Frederick Duren George Frederick Duren, son of Isaac and Mary (Blood) Duren was born in Carlisle April 13, 1817. Mr. Duren always lived at the ancestral home, which had been in the family name for three generations. Reuben was the first and was classed among the early settlers of Concord, which for many years included this town. He was succeeded by his only son Isaac in the family possession, who was followed by his only son, George Frederick. Mr. Duren possessed many of the sterling traits of his father and grandfather; he enjoyed the confidence of his fellow townsmen and held every town office except that of treasurer. He held the commission of justice of the peace from 1853 to 1894, having been first appointed by Governor Gardner; he took the undertaker business from his father in 1835, which he kept until 1894. July 6, 1843, George F. Duren and Lucy A. F. Pease, of Wilton, Maine, were united in marriage, by Rev. James Means, in Concord. Six children were born to this worthy couple; four lived to grow up and were married: Isaac F. married Mary Lewis of Lunenburg; Hermon L. married Lottie Lewis of Lunenburg; George R. married Marie Ouilette of Lowell; and Mary F. married John Melvin of Concord. George R. is the only surviving child. Four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren are lineal descendants. On July 6, 1893, one of those rare but always pleasing events, a golden wedding, took place at the Duren home. A large company of relatives and friends kept the worthy couple busily employed during the entire afternoon in acknowledging warm greetings and congratulations: in the evening a pleasing program of music and readings was given, thus bringing the happy occasion to a close. Mr. Duren passed away the following year on May 18, at the age of 76 years. Mrs. Duren lived until March 7, 1905; her age was 82 years, 10 months and 17 days. ============================================================================ ===== Jacqueline Sleeper Russell _http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jacquelinesr_ (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jacquelinesr)

Hi all, In the 1950's my grandfather Joseph Hughes owned what is now called the Henderson Carriage House on Mass Ave in Porter Square. Then it was called Hughes Motor Mart. He also had one on McGrath Highway. My grandmother kept a scrapbook of everything that was in the paper anout it as he was also quite involved in the community. My goal is to scan the scrapbook in someday and be able to somehow index the contents and the names. I also have a painting of it that was done in 1954 on my family room wall. Anyone remember Hughes Motor Mart? Cheryl

Hello, I was just reminded that there is a meeting on Saturday afternoon in Chelmsford of the "Greater Lowell Genealogy Club." Are there other meetings coming up next week or in early March you'd like to mention on the NewEngland-Societies List ? Don't forget that you can mention on that List "surname Reunion" events. And, "city / town anniversary" events. For instance events are being planned in Newbury, MA. And I just read they are looking for GREENLEAF descendants. Betty (near Lowell, MA) http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Genealogical_Societies/NEWENGLAND-SOCIETIES.html FYI: I just received some important information about my great-grandfather's life from the Stoneham, MA, Historical Society. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to get their web site up and running for a year. (The same with the Billerica Historical Society, I believe.)
