Thank you Chuck Richardson what I am trying to find is some contemporary hard data supporting Jacobus' assertion that Elizaabeth Richardson born Novemer 1692, Chelmsford, married Jonas Clark. I believe that to be true, in part because Jonas had a grandson named "Bunker" plus of course Jacobus is famed for accuracy. This Elizabeth is the daughter of Ezekial Richardson and his wife Mary Bunker who later , about 6 or seven years after Elizabeth was born married Moses Barron after Richardson died. Barron also died and in 1724 Mary (Bunker) (Richardson) Barron married Col. Thomas Howe or Marlborough who died in 1733 but she died in Chelmsford 5 July 1741. It is my belief that Mary Bunker Richardson Barron How (Howe, Howse etc) may have mentioned her daughter Elizabeth (Richardson) Clark or Clark grandchildren in her will so I am trying to find someone who has seen that probate or has other hard data or knows where 1741 probates are stored and how to get in touch with the officials there This Elizabeth (Richardson) Clark was not the Elizabeth Richardson who married Joseph Butterfield in 1741 as Vinton claims. That Elizabeth Richardson was born 27 July 1724 in Pelham New Hampshire and therefore of the right age to marry in 1741, the year that ("my") Elizabeth b. 1692 died. She (Elizabeth Richardson Butterfiel) was the daughter of William (5) (Lieut. Josiah (4) Josiah (3) Ezekiel(2) Thomas(1) ) See Walter Goodwin Davis : Richardson of Chelmsford You are incorrect in your last paragrah stating the Mary Barron was the mother of ("my") Elizabeth. I am sure you meant to say "Mary (Bunker) Richardson Thanks for your thoughtful input .Please let me know if you have further thoughts on the subject Robert Bowman In a message dated 2/25/2010 10:29:41 AM Pacific Standard Time, chuck.richardson@mindspring.com writes: > Subj: Re: [MAMiddle] Howe /Richardson/Clark > Date:2/25/2010 10:29:41 AM Pacific Standard Time > From:chuck.richardson@mindspring.com > Reply-to:mamiddle@rootsweb.com > To:mamiddle@rootsweb.com > Received from Internet: > > > > from my database.
