Hello, A genealogy-friend has e-mailed me and asked about "almshouse records" which might exist in Newburyport. I tried to find a web site for the Newburyport Historical Society and have not yet been successful. While I writing back to this lady, I remembered the "Essex Society of Genealogists." I went to that web site and discovered they have a speaker coming up in December, and another one coming up in February - which some researchers might be interested in attending. The members meet in Lynnfield. http://www.esog.org/ My genealogy-friend would like to know if "almshouse records" from 1900-1905 exist. Her grandmother was born in a "private" almshouse in Newburyport in 1901, possibly to an unwed mother. She's looking for the name of the birth-father which is not mentioned in other records she has obtained. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newburyport,_Massachusetts I'm not finding a site for the City of Newburyport, but I was just browsing at this site and spotted what I needed: http://www.newburyportchamber.org/history.shtml http://www.newburyhist.com/ Also, I believe I wrote a slow-mail letter to the Marblehead Historical Society at least 2 years ago, and there was never a response of any kind. http://www.marbleheadmuseum.org/ It's too late to mention their "museum open house," but they do have "exhibits" to consider: http://www.marbleheadmuseum.org/Calendar_4.htm .. Are there other meetings or speakers going on this month, or coming up in January which you'd like to mention on the NewEngland-Societies List? I only get to visit "Cape Ann" a few times a year, and almost never in December. But, it must be a nice place to visit during the Holidays ! http://www.cape-ann.com/history.html Oops. I just remembered that Marblehead is south of Cape Ann and Newburyport is north of Cape Ann. Still - nice towns to visit. * Betty (near Lowell, MA) * However, I attended a funeral in Marblehead 2 months ago, and I enjoyed "getting lost" in the town, but I didn't enjoy - trying to get there ! :o) And, if you live in New England, please be careful if you go out to drive today !! It was about one year ago when we had a terrible "ICE Storm" in New England. But, they are saying this morning my area will probably have rain later in the day.

Hi Scott, You should be able to write to or e-mail the Library in Winchester and ask for a look-up for the obituary: http://www.winpublib.org/ And, if Steward was a resident of Winchester at the time of his death, you should be able to get some information from the Town Clerk's office: http://www.winchester.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=43%3Atown-clerk&catid=55%3Ageneral-&Itemid=48 If Stewart was 25 at the time of his death in 1937, then he should be listed in the 1930 census in MA. Perhaps his death certificate states where he was buried.

Stewart A. McKenzie was a United States Navy Aviation Cadet that died in a military aircraft accident on 20 Sep 1937. His age was listed as 25 years old and his home was listed as Winchester MA. Prior to joining the Navy he may have attended Yale. More information pertaining to Stewart A.

Hi: Curious on this... why the "bad reputation" on the book you mention... Is it not an accurate account? I have the book, a reprint.. I hope it has SOME good info that is of use.. My Revolutionary Patriot (DAR) was Job Spalding... His wife was Abigail Pierce.. From research I've done, I don't believe she had biological parents after her age of 10 yrs.. I know her father died before she was a teenager.. It appears her mother re-married and didn't live very long either.. I don't have the info nearby, but that is my recollection after researching her family for many hours. I would like to know for sure, her mother's maiden name.. the best I can tell, it might be Joanna Townsend.. I found Job and Abigail's burial info but I believe her age and birthdate is wrong.. It shows her much older than she was.. I would like to see the original document of her death.. I will perhaps order film from a FHC very soon... Ellie S.

I think this is the first time I've seen that RUMZY surname. And I'm not finding that spelling in the census records, nor RUMZEY in MA. And, it is also curious that the 2nd wife of George HUTCHINSON, Amy RUMZEY, had a mother with the maiden name of Elizabeth CROSBY. George's mother had the maiden name of Eliza Ann CROSBY of the large CROSBY Farm in Arlington, MA. I just checked and there is no Board for RUMZY or RUMZEY. So, I placed a query on the RUMSEY Boards. And, 2 records say that the Benjamin RUMZY family was of Nova Scotia. I checked the Nova Scotia Board and the RUMSEY name was mentioned 10 years ago and 6 years ago. But one posting showed that a Benjamin RUMSEY was one of the "Planters and Pioneers" in the 1700's. So, I searched on-line for "Benjamin RUMSEY" and found a few sites mentioning him in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rumsey http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=1231 This site mentions that his grandfather had come to the Colonies in 1665 from Wales. http://famousamericans.net/benjaminrumsey/ Even though RUMSEY is not a popular name, there seems to have been another family in CT, and another in NY, which included a Benjamin. OH -- I just came across this page which mentions a Benjamin RUMSEY in Arlington, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia: http://beals-genealogy.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I03645&tree=Beal s&tngprint=1 Anyone researching this name?

Hi again, I'm browsing for RAMSEY people coming down from Canada in the middle-to-late 1800's and came across this family. I'd just like to offer it as an FYI: RAMSEY, SARAH (1920 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , MIDDLESEX, 9-WD CAMBRIDGE Age: 96, Female, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA Series: T625 Roll: 708 Page: 253 RAMSEY, SARAH (1910 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , MIDDLESEX, 9-WD CAMBRIDGE Age: 85, Female, Race: WHITE, Born: CANA Series: T624 Roll: 596 Page: 204 In 1910, Sarah is listed in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Hugh and Jane MURRAY. She had had no children after 35 yrs. of marriage, but they have an "adopted daughter" listed as Marion MURRAY, 19, bMA. Both Hugh and Jane (and Sarah) had come down from "CAN / ENG" in the 1880's. Sarah was listed as having had 10 children but only 2 live. Also in the home is a nephew, Harry RAMSEY, 24, bCAN/ENG. Hugh MURRAY is listed as being a gardener in a cemetery. In 1920, Jane MURRAY is also a widow and living with her mother, then 96. It looks like many RAMSEY people came down to MA from Canada. (A few had RAMSY spelling.) I'm not finding the family of Benjamin and Elizabeth RUMZY (sp?) and daughter, Amy, in census pages. If Amy RUMZEY / RAMZEY married in MA in 1875, perhaps she came down about 1872 at around Age 20. (I've seen that many young men and young woman came down from N.B. and N.S. looking for work.) Betty (near Lowell, MA)

I think this is the first time I've seen that RUMZY surname. And I'm not finding that spelling in the census records, nor RUMZEY in MA. And, it is also curious that the 2nd wife of George HUTCHINSON, Amy RUMZEY, had a mother with the maiden name of Elizabeth CROSBY. George's mother had the maiden name of Eliza Ann CROSBY of the large CROSBY Farm in Arlington, MA. I just checked and there is no Board for RUMZY or RUMZEY. So, I placed a query on the RUMSEY Boards. And, 2 records say that the Benjamin RUMZY family was of Nova Scotia. I checked the Nova Scotia Board and the RUMSEY name was mentioned 10 years ago and 6 years ago. But one posting showed that a Benjamin RUMSEY was one of the "Planters and Pioneers" in the 1700's. So, I searched on-line for "Benjamin RUMSEY" and found a few sites mentioning him in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rumsey http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=1231 This site mentions that his grandfather had come to the Colonies in 1665 from Wales. http://famousamericans.net/benjaminrumsey/ Even though RUMSEY is not a popular name, there seems to have been another family in CT, and another in NY, which included a Benjamin. OH -- I just came across this page which mentions a Benjamin RUMSEY in Arlington, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia: http://beals-genealogy.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I03645&tree=Beal s&tngprint=1 Anyone researching this name?

So, I've been trying to gather information about him. From information I just looked at this morning at www.familysearch.org and combining it with notes I took at the Registry of Deeds this week, it seems that my Carleton lived most of his life in MA. Contrary to what I've posted in the past, this seems to be closer to what happened: George Homer HUTCHINSON (1843-1907) (Winchester and Arlington, MA) had 2 marriages. He first married Mary WRIGHT of Concord, MA, and they had a son, Carleton Homer HUTCHINSON, in 1870. The couple seem to have separated soon after and Mary moved back to Concord. The 1880 census has George living with his 2nd wife: Amy (?) HUTCHINSON, 26, born in Nova Scotia as did her parents. (I don't recall at this moment whether I've found out her maiden name.) I don't know if George had more children, and I don't know what happened to Mrs. Amy HUTCHINSON as the 1900 census shows George living with sister, also divorced, in Arlington, MA. He died in 1907. The census page says that George had been married at that time for 25 years and no children are mentioned. That puts that marriage ~1875. I'm not finding an Amy HUTCHINSON in Middlesex Co. in 1900. Back to Carleton, he seems to have married a Caroline "Carrie" HENEFELT / HENFELDT ~ 1897 in Cambridge. They had a daughter, Gladys HUTCHINSON, in 1898 in Arlington or Winchester. And then had a son, Leslie Loring HUTCHINSON, there in 1901. The 1900 census has the couple living in Arlington. That page says that "Carrie" was 19 and born in 1881 in MA, but her parents were born in Germany. I'm not finding the correct Carleton in Middlesex Co. in MA in 1910. But, Carrie HUTCHINSON, 29, is listed as living with a couple in Cambridge and having her children, then 11 and 9, with her. She said she was divorced. Carleton had a 2nd marriage in 1910 to Mabel ROSS. She was 30 and had been born in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, and her parents were John T. ROSS and Abigail MALONEY (that couple divorced?). I don't know of any children born to Carleton and Mabel HUTCHINSON. If I find the correct couple, there is a Carleton and Mabel living in Hanover, MA (Plymouth Co.) in 1920. I'm not finding the couple in 1910. In 1920 it says Mabel had come to US in 1884 and no children are mentioned. (I don't have access to the 1930 census from home.) Carleton died in MA in 1962. I don't have further information on Mabel. At the Reg. of Deeds I found Carleton mentioned as having a mortgage in Arlington in 1919. And having a mortgage in Medford from 1924 to 1935. I don't believe I found a "will" for him, but I might have forgotten to check. This him owning a property in Medford in the 1920's does not correspond to him being in Hanover in 1920 unless they moved back to Medford after 1920. (I still don't know where Carleton died in 1962.) One researcher at the WorldConnect Project says that the 1930 census has Carleton and Mabel living in Littleton, NH.

Hello List, I am renewing my search for info on Mildred V. LESLIE daughter of Earl Howard Leslie and Hazel B. WOODMAN   All were listed in the 1920 census in Somerville, MA and Mildred and her grandparents (Byron and Edith A. WOODMAN ) were listed in the 1930 census for Somerville.  Both Earl LESLIE and Leslie WOODMAN registered for the draft on Jun 5 1917 and both lived on Broadway in Somerville at the time.  If anyone has any info or connections to these people I'd like to hear from you. Thanks, Al of Delaware
