David LEACH and wife Hannah were the parents of seven children (Mercy, Hannah, Ephraim, Experience, David, Mehetabel, Abigail) born between 1693 and 1714 in Bridgewater. (Bridgewater VRs) Who were David Leach's parents? When did he die? According to _History of the Early Settlement of Bridgewater_ by Nahum Mitchell, he was the son of Giles LEACH of Weymouth. Several other secondary sources give Giles as a son of the immigrant Lawrence LEACH of Salem; however, Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration Begins, vol. II, gives Lawrence Leach a daughter, Rachel, and and three sons, Robert, John and Richard. No Giles. I've searched the NEHGS web site databases and found nothing that links David Leach to parents. Is anyone else reasearching this line? (I'm especially interested in David's daughter Mercy, b. 1693.) Kendall Mellem keks@kc.rr.com
New USGenWeb sites are now online for the Plymouth Co. towns of Halifax, Hull and Pembroke. Your are welcome to post queries for those towns or to list town families that you are researching. You are always welcome to contribute information to the sites - they (I have 14) always start out small, but grow through the contributions of other researchers.

I have added a listing of cemeteries to the new Pembroke USGenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~macpembr/cemeteries.html I have been tracking down the location of the cemeteries mentioned in Pembroke VRs, but have not yet found two of them - Chapel Burying Ground (G.R.8.) and Stetson Burying Ground (G.R.2.). If anyone knows where those cemeteries are located I would greatly appreciate receiving that information. Any additions and corrections to the cemetery list would also be appreciated. Dale H.
