Kate, You might try by writing to the Registry of Deeds N. Russell Street, Plymouth Massachusetts 02360.

Hi Dave, I agree that the Scituate Historical Society is a good place to begin. Can't help you with Hoop Pole Hill, even though I grew up on the South Shore in Hanover, and spent much time in Scituate as a child. Sometimes the old place names go out of use. Can't say if that is the case with this one. You can get old maps of Scituate, from 1879, at www.oldmapsne.com which can be very helpful. Norwell and Hanover were formed, at least in part, from Scituate, so you may want to look in those towns as well. There were a lot of Damons, especially, in Hanover. A lot of the local town libraries have good genealogical resources, but the best place for research is The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston, www.newenglandancestors.com , well worth the price of membership since you can do research online and can borrow books by mail. Also worth a trip into Boston while you are in the area. I would strongly suggest using public transportation, i.e., The T, since the Big Dig has made an unspeakable mess of already difficult traffic. From the South Shore you can easily get the T at Braintree. The station is right off Rte 3. Here are some suggestions for books: For records of births, etc. from th 1600 and 1700's The Vital Rcords of Scituate, 2 volumes, pub. 1909 by NEHGS. These records are available online at the website listed above. The Records of the Second Church of Scituate, published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEHGR), also available online at the above website. For Scituate history "History of Scituate, Massachusetts", by Samuel Deane, pub. 1831, reprint by Scituate Historical Society, 1975. Has genealogies, and is a good place to start looking for clues, but contains many inaccuracies. "A History of Shipbuilding on the North River, with Genealogies 1640 -1872", by L. Vernon Briggs Also by Briggs "History and Records of Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church, 1725 -1903". St Andrew's is in Hanover but many of the Scituate families ended up in Hanover. "History and Records of the First Congregational Church of Hanover, Mass., 1727 - 1894" For passenger lists, try NEHGR, also "Original Lists of Persons of Quality 1600 - 1700" by James Camden Hotten, pub 1898. Scituate is much built up since the 50's when I was growing up, but is still a very pretty town that retains a lot of its historical character. While there be sure to visit Scituate Lighthouse, very pretty, and as the story goes, the place where the Bates Sisters deterred a landing by sea of the Redcoats ( think it was the War of 1812, but not sure), by playing the fife and drums. Be sure to have a meal at Barker's Tavern, a bit pricey but the food is excellent. And, if you are adventurous, take a canoe trip on the North River, which was of great historical importance to the surrounding towns. It is still very bucolic and lovely, surrounded by marshes. But - stay away from the mouth of the river unless you are expert in boats, it has dangerous tidal currents and has brought many a casual boater to grief. Hope you have a pleasant and productive trip.

I am planning a trip to the Scituate, Massachusetts area and would appreciate some information on places of genealogical interest. My maternal ancestry is deeply rooted in Scituate (including the following surnames: PROUTY, TORREY, HATCH, DAMON, HOWLAND, WHITCOMB, ELMES, etc.) Can anyone help me with the location of Hoop-pole Hill in Scituate?

Does anyone know how I can locate research already done on the surnames mentioned above? I am also interested in older cemeteries in the area (especially near the location of Hoop-pole Hill). Are there any good resources for information on cemetery records? What is the best source for birth, marriage and death records from the 1600s and 1700s? Any information or assistance which could help me in my research would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Dave Ohio

My Thanks to those who responded. Another question about William. In the original document noting his death, is his age stated? The notations of his age are as varied as those of his date of birth, so I am curious if the parish record or some other original document listed his age at the time of his death. Elizabeth

There is a reference which you surely have seen to the transfer of his indenture from Derby to Doty that mentions a number of years of service. Perhaps Cutter was making some assumptions from that, although I don't know why he should and how he'd arrive at age 11 I have no idea. In fact Stratton's biographical sketch in _Plymouth Colony_ says Doty was looking for "one able man servant." Whether that would describe an eleven year old I don't know. In 1651 he was presented at court with a bunch of others for "vaine, light, and lacivious carriage at an unseasonable time of the night." (PCR 2:170)--which sounds like something a young man would be doing, but who knows? I may well have missed something, but I didn't noticeanything in any of the mentions of William that I found that would give a precise idea of his age.

Greetings Listers, I am new to the Plymouth List and eager to make connections. I have been researching Willam Snow and his connection to Richard Derby hoping to find clues to William's English origins. I am currently interested in a statement made by Cutter referring to some Plymouth records which indicated that William may have been only 11. Does anyone have any information as to what records?

> > JoEllen Brown wrote: > >> >> >> Does anyone know where I could get a list of the medical schools >> that existed in Massachusetts around 1800. > To expand a bit on my earlier reply, this is from Paul Starr, _The Social Transformation of American Medecine_ (Basic Books, 1982). "At the time of the Revolution there appear to have been about 3,500 or 4,000 physicians; 400 of them had formal medical training, perhaps half as many held medical degrees. This professional elite was concentrated almost entirely in the larger cities. ... Apprenticeship served as the principal form of medical training in the colonial period, and it remained central even after the advent of medical schools." (p. 40) [The first medical school in the colonies was at the College of Philadelphia, 1765] "After the War of 1812, medical schools began to proliferate through the country." (42) Your man may have had a medical school education, but the odds are he didn't. Interestingly that may well have made him a better doctor at that time. George Washington received the "best" medical attention available--they drained nearly all his blood in a lethal effort to save his life. One of my wife's ancestors was a doctor at about the same time. He moved his family again and again--he lived in four states during his lifetime. We assume that like the southern planters who exhausted the soil and moved on, he stayed in one place until he had killed off all his patients and then went in search of new blood. >> > > > >

He left a widow and 2 small children. Does anyone have any information on this man? The only doctors I can think of that might be around in those days would be medical doctors or preachers and probably this title would only be used by medical doctors.

At this time a medical doctor would very likely have trained with another doctor if he had training at all.

At this time I have accredited the issue of the Rev'd to the following wives: 1st wife: Rev. Joshua Rev. Jeremiah Elizabeth Capt. Josiah Ichabod Hannah Hannah Bathsheba Jael Gershom - could go either way 2nd wife: Israel Japhet Rev. Nehemiah David Rebecca Abigail Lydia Hezekiah I have 2 HOBART lines from the Rev'd. One from Rev. Joshua to my father and the other from Elizabeth to my mother. I thought I had it all settled with 1 wf Elizabeth IBROOK per Sanborn and 2 wife Rebecca PECK per Torrey then I had to go and check GMB a few days ago and it all came crashing down. :( My gut feeling is to go with Anderson but with Sanborn more or less using Anderson's notes as her source I'd like someone to hold my hand and assure me to go with him. ; ) I'd really like to get the identity of these wives put to bed.

Karen and Steve - The City Clerk would hold the death records: http://www.brocktonmass.com/clerk.htm Brockton City Hall 45 School St. Brockton, MA 02301 508-580-7114 Fax: 508-580-7104 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Without a precise year of death, though, they might not be willing to look for a death record. I believe that the City Clerk's office now uses microfilm or some other storage medium for death records from the early 1900s, as the original city death registers from that period are now at the Brockton Public Library. The death records from that period would indicate place of burial. I was born in Brockton and last visited cemeteries there last fall. Offhand I can think of 13 cemeteries there. We can eliminate the oldest cemeteries from initial consideration - few burials took place in those in the 20th century. Four of the cemeteries I know of are religious. Let's put those aside for now - they are Calvary Cemetery and Saint Patrick's Cemetery (Roman Catholic), and Agudas Achim / Chevra Thilim Cemetery and Plymouth Rock Cemetery (Jewish). There are four cemeteries I would think most likely. At the top of the list is the largest cemetery in the Brockton, the city-owned Melrose Cemetery: Melrose Cemetery 88 North Pearl St. Brockton, MA 02401-1708 508-580-7833 A second possibility is: Union Cemetery 327 Centre St. Brockton, MA 02402-2735 The city took over operation of this cemetery a few years ago - contact the Melrose Cemetery office listed above. A third is: Ashland Cemetery (aka North End Cemetery) East Ashland St. Brockton, MA And a fourth is: Coweeset Cemetery South Pearl St. Brockton, MA In the late 1990s Ashland was overgrown and locked up. It is possible that the city now maintains Ashland and Coweeset. I will try to obtain additional information about both and get back to you. Dale H.

Yes, this is the same as the diary. It was published in the NEHGR , Vol 121. I just scanned thru it on the NEHGR CDs and spotted at least one of the James WHITONs Merriel was looking for. However, the index of these CDs fails to list WHITONs in this article. Sooooo have had to manually scroll thru the many series of the article. Merriel, are you lurking?

Hi All Adelaide Willett died in Brockton around 1900 and is buried in a cemetery there. I'm not sure how many there are there...or which one she is buried in. I am certain it's Brockton though.
