Hello listers, Wondering if anyone might know if there were foreign military units in the Worcester area about 1745-1749, in particular Shrewsbury? I wonder as at this point, as I am unable to locate any information on a 4TH G-Grandfather in that region with the surname of FINEL. Nor have I found a marriage record, death record, or birth record of the 3RD G-Grandfather. Although I know my 4TH G-Grandmother was born in Shrewsbury, 1730-1731, as I have proven that. And currently I am tracking her movements in hopes of maybe finding a clue to their meeting. Also if there were, any suggestions as to finding about the history of such units would be greatly appreciated also. Thank you for any comments as I am now suspecting this fellow might have been part of some military unit stationed there or near there. Basically leaving no stone unturned is what I am doing now. Don

Millville was made a town May 1, 1910. My grandfather's WWI draft registration card says he was born in Millville in 1893.

Romantic story with questions: My Scots grandfather, Alexander Allan and my Irish grandmother, Frances Margaret Harper met and fell in love while working for a wealthy Draper Family between 1908 and 1915. He was the good-looking chauffeur (a.k.a. coachman) and she, the stately red-headed upstairs maid. Q. Was the "wealthy Draper Family" limited to the Hopedale area? I suspect Alex and Frances were married in Clinton, Hopedale, Lancaster, Lowell, or Dracut, MA. They were protestant (Episcopalian). Their wedding photographs were taken in Clinton by O'Toole. Q. How can I locate their marriage when I can only hypothesize the year (1915) and the city? The Allan's first son carries the name of young Frederick, a son of his Draper employer, and a favorite of my grandfather. Q. Can someone locate Frederick Draper on the 1910 census? Perhaps Frances Harper, domestic servant, will be in the same household. I know Alexr. Allan lived in Lancaster during the 1910 census. Thank you, in advance, to the very helpful people on this list.

Harrison Bacon's occupation was Mule Spinner. A mule spinner worked a machine which replaced the single-person spinning wheels of the textile industry, according to this Web site. I didn't find out why it is called a mule. Susan http://www.victorianweb.org/technology/ir/t2.html

Greetings, I wonder if anyone can help me find information on an early Worcester County Congregational clergyman? I am not related to him, but am doing research on him, as he was among the 21 Congregational clergy meeting in Bradford, Massachusetts in 1810 as delegates to the General Association of Massachusetts Proper, who voted to create the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). Rev. JOSEPH GOFFE served the Second Church in Sutton [later Millbury] for about 36 years until 1830. I am familiar with information on him in William Benedict's "History of the Town of Sutton, Massachusetts." However, I would like to discover the following information on him and know the sources for it, if possible: --birth date and place --seminary/college graduated from and when --death date and place --and any other interesting information about his ministry/life. Thanks, I appreciate any help, Rev. Dr. Doug Showalter
Trying to find family of Harrison P.O. Bacon, born 1825, in Connecticut. Married Sarah M Wilson, born 1838 in MA. Not sure Windham is the correct county of origin; but since descendending families lived in Worcester, MA and Woonsocket, RI, it seems the most likely place to start. From what I can find out about him (according to census reports), he was a Mule Skinner, a Farmer, and Proprietor of a "Poor House" in Worcester. At the moment, all I have in the names of children are Harriet E, born 1861, and Fred C, born 1865, both in Sturbridge, Worccester, MA. Any information about this family will be appreciated.

Hello all, My name is Anki Hagberg and I live in Sweden. My maternal grandfather Gunnar Eugéne Forsberg, born in Skagershults parish 30 Jan 1886, emigrated to US in 1909. Ten years later he married Ellen Lilja, also from Sweden, and they had a daughter, Edna. My mother, Gunnar's daughter in Sweden was born 1910. (No, he didn't desert my grandmother, she didn't dare to travel with him to US). I have a lot of info about Gunnar, pictures too of him and his brothers who also emigrated to Worcester. I know that Gunnar died from a heart attack in 1960 but I have no idea about the date. I have been trying to find out a bit more about his life in Worcester, I know he was a building constructor and he liked singing, perhaps in a choir. Maybe it's too much to ask, but I'd appreciate very, very much, if anyone on this list could help me to find out a bit more. I was hoping for an obituary or something similar and it would also be very nice to know the date of his death. Any help whatsoever MUCH appreciated! Best wishes, Anki Hagberg

Alison, Glad I was siting down! :-) What a tangled web they did weave! Hahaha!! I've heard the phrase keep it in the family but...gosh! Sounds like a good one for a mystery movie or one heck of a good drama! Hahaa! Although I think I would get confused keeping up with a movie like that!! Hahaa!! I guess when it came to love nothing mattered. Talk about skeletons in the closet! That closet is getting full! Hahaa!!! Also sounds like Sarah couldn't stand not being married or just didn't want to be alone and got around alot. Makes me wonder as to what husbund she is buried next to, if any! (Grinning here) Well if there are any Brighams out there related to me, I hope y'all were sitting down also when you read the post from Alison. Sure glad that my Mom married out side the family. I could have ended up being a cousin to myself!! Hahahaaa!!

Children of William Oliver and Ann 1. John, born 1724, married Mary in 1746, died 1811 (87), Athol. 2. James, born 1726, married Hannah, died 1790, Athol. 3. Elizabeth, born 1730, married Hugh Holland in 1750, Athol. 4. Isabella, born 1733, married James Caldwell (1st) & Nathaniel Jennison (2nd), died before 1786. 5. ROBERT, born 1735, Athol, married Lydia Gray in Pelham, MA 1759, died 1795, Athol. 6. William, born 1736, Athol, married Anna Forbes in 1767, died 1783 in Barre, MA. 7. Mary, born 1738, married Peter Fessenden in 1761, died in 1821, Barre, MA. 8. Anna, born 1742, married Jonathan Kendall 1765, died 1824. I descend from Robert Oliver. There is much written about John Oliver and his large family in the Athol history books. John died in 1811 and the following was written about him in 1940. "At Christmas time in 1811 there was an accumulation of snow of such depth that it was 8 days after Capt. John Oliver died at his home on Lyons Hill before his body could be transported to the Old Pleasant Street Cemetery where it was buried near the entrance gate." He was close to 88 years old when he died; nearly blind and aided by a cane when he walked, local children were very fond of him and referred to him as "Old Dap". Children of John and Mary Aaron, born 1748 Jemima, born 1751 Moses, born 1753 Rachel, born 1755 Hannah, born 1758 Tirzah, born 1760 Mary, born 1762 Anne Durham, born 1764 John, Jr., born 1766 Rachel (2nd), born 1770 Elizabeth, born 1773 These children had many, many descendants as you can imagine. Many of them remained in Athol and many descendants removed to other parts of the United States. An article on Captain John Oliver written by William Lord in 1935, reads as follows: "He was a native of Ireland who came here as a pioneer in 1736 settling east of Petersham Rd and northeast of the golf course which is now there. At the time of the Burgoyne alarm in 1777 he went out from here as Captain of the third company to be sent from here on that campaign. In 1786 he joined with Captain Shay in his ill-fated campaign against the Courts of the State". Dr. James Oliver, Grandson of Capt. John Oliver, Practicing Physician for 50 years in Athol (including Civil War physician) and wrote book entitled Ancestry, Early Life and War Record of James Oliver, MD Born in 1836, died in 1918. Children of Lt. William Oliver (son of William 1) and Anna Forbes (married December 30, 1767 in Barre, Worcester county, Mass. ) Jenny, born 1769, died September 3, 1777. Forbes, born December 2, 1770 James, born 1773, d. September 13, 1777. * William Tertius, born 1775 Anna, born 1778 ** James, born 1780 William, Jr. was listed as a Selectman of Athol for the years 1763-1769 and was instrumental in establishng that town. He died between 1780 and 1783 and his widow Anna is referred to several times in William Sr.'s Will. He refers to her as his "daughter", which was often used as a term in those days for daughter-in-law. It is obvious that William, Sr. was quite fond of her and even left her his house. William, Jr. also fought in the Revolutionary War and was often referred to as Lt. for many years after. * William Tertius Oliver (above) married Susannah Lilley in 1802, Barre, Mass. They had the following children: Lydia, born June 17, 1802, Twins: Willard and William b. February 8, 1804, John, born January 18, 1806, Anna, born May 28, 1808 and Julian, born August 25, 1810. ** James Oliver (above) married Sarah Lilley on April 7, 1806 in Barre, Mass. They had the following children: Forbes, born May 20, 1806, Eliza Walker, born August 12, 1807, David Lilley, born June 26, 1809, Lyman, born Deptember 26, 1810, Harriet Adams, born October 2, 1812, Susan, born February 14, 1815, Submit Lilley, born January 21, 1817, Lydia Lilley, born January 11, 1819, Sarah Caldwell, born September 15, 1820 and Martha Jane, born December 3, 1822. (Middle names were important to these generations, and here once again, the name of "Caldwell" appears, used as a middle name for Sarah, showing a connection to the Caldwell family spoken of previously). Children of Isabella Oliver and James Caldwell Sarah, born 1754, married Reverend Josiah Dana James, born 1756 Anna, born 1758 William, born 1760 Submit, born 1763 James Caldwell was the son of William Caldwell and Sarah Morrison, who were closely related to the Olivers through several different marriages. After James Caldwell died about 1763, Isabella married Nathaniel Jennison in 1769. As mentioned previously Isabella died before 1786 as her children are given legacies in William Oliver's Will. Children of Elizabeth Oliver and Hugh Holland Oliver, born 1752 Ruben, born 1754 Sarah, born 1756 child, born 1759 Anna, born 1762 The Hollands did not die in Athol, as no records can be found in either Athol or Pelham for any Holland deaths. The unnamed child above was born in Pelham, MA, so it is assumed that this family moved to Pelham and then elsewhere. There are several Pelham marriages for a Holland family between the years of 1781 and 1801, obviously descendants of Elizabeth & Hugh. _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~celeste/firstgen1.htm_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~celeste/firstgen1.htm)
Hi Joyce: It appears that Clarence left Winifred, or that Winnie didnt wish to go where Clarence wanted to go. I dont know the details of him except what I found in the census. Sarah Augusta Brooks was a bit of a toughie I thought that she had been married prior to George, but I had to wait for NEHGS to come back up to see what I could find out. I got to the point I had to put all of this on a family group sheet. Now are you sitting down? Remember Sarah Jane Hatch dau of Lyman and Polly (Fay) Hatch? She m1) Augustus W. Brooks and had Sarah Brooks She m2) Marcus Morton Cooper and had among others Marcus L. Cooper She m3) Daniel Tenney. So that makes Winnie and Clarence ½ 1st cousins So that makes Sarah Augusta Brooks and Marcus L. Cooper ½ siblings Henry A. Hatch and Sarah Jane Hatch are siblings so that makes Della F. Hatch and Sarah Augusta Brooks 1st cousins Also that makes Clarence and Winnie full 2d cousins Jonathan Brooks and Sally Brooks are siblings So that makes Augustus W. Brooks and Angeline G. Pierce 1st cousins So that makes Della F. Hatch and Sarah Augusta Brooks 2d cousins So that makes Clarence and Winnie full 3d cousins! Are you confused now? Alison
Hey Dale, In the 2nd volume of "Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worcester County, Mass."; Editorial Supervisor, Ellery Bicknell Crane, Lewis Publishing Company, NY & Chicago; 1907 On pages 423 thru 425 is the complete KENDALL Family sketch which your Jonathan KENDALL belongs. If you would like me to type up this nice family sketch just let me know. This is the only place where Anne OLIVER is mentioned (no parents are mentioned), plus the fact that they had (5) daughters & (1) son. Living in Athol, Mass. --------------------------------------------- Now in another book "History of Worcester County, Mass. with Biographical Sketches of many of the Pioneers and Prominent Men", Volume 2; D. Hamilton Hurd--Supervisor; J.W. Lewis & Co., Philadelphia; 1889 On the chapter about Athol, MA, page 1025 is a list of the first settlers of 1736 to what later became Athol. This list names (4) brothers, William, John, James, and Robert OLIVER, along with several others. The above may be a clue to Anne's parentage. Marcia
It took me a long time to subscribe to ancestry.com but finally I succumbed and find it invaluable - but hope I can get all I need in one year. One thing I cannot get with the subscription I have is access to historical newspapers and some of my ancestral info is there. There is the offer to upgrade listing various options in the blurb - the one month would be satisfactory - it's listed but unclickable! Add another 100 dollars for the upgrade for a year. Foul! Heritage has access to some books which is helpful and sometimes your library offers it free to you. (I am not in the US however), Familysearch is a good place to start but caution is needed. Since often it is individual input there are gross errors and I have found them for my ancestors. These are not remedial by deletion but by adding another - nice to confuse people. One good factor with ancestry is that with a full subscription one can correct errors or add on their trees (right - be sure you know what you are talking about)! If any of you is doing east Sussex (mainly east) , England research, try <www.thesussexweald.org>. It is fantastic and free! Gloria
Hi Charles, My family settled in Worcester County about 1734 and stayed through 1780s when they moved to Hartford NY. My greatx5 grandfather John Campbell b: 1727 Scotland was a private in George Kimball's Regiment from Lunenburg and fought in the Revolution. We suspect his father (my greatx6) was John or William Campbell but not sure when he was born in Scotland or even when he passed in MA. If you find anything please share as I would like to know about colonial life at this time in MA. Thanks!

Alison, Oh my gosh I can't thank you enough. Now looking at all this... It appears that Clarence and Winifred were related before they married, which back then does not surprise me at all. :-) (((((Marcus L. and Della (Hatch) Cooper )))) ((((Augustus Wellington and Sarah J. (Hatch)Brooks))))) I wonder if Sarah J Hatch and Della Hatch were kin. I know of the Coopers and have their line all the way back to 1555 England, but never knew where the Hatch's entered the picture and never put 2 plus 2 together on them. Till now! :-) Beverly Brigham was my Mother. Its wrong with the J as her middle name was Grace. Priscilla E Brigham was my aunt and married Theron Pope , lived in Upton Ma. Ida may Damon is the daughter of Marcus M Cooper, son of Marcus L. She married Jonas S Damon in 1876 I know more about the Cooper's than I did about the Brigham's and thats where my brick wall was. You are so right, George L. Brigham is a slippery devil. For along time I thought he had fell off the earth, until now!! :-) But I never dreamed that you could find all this. I can't thank you enough. Thank you a billion time and more!! You have made my day!! :-) Joyce On Tue, 28 Mar 2006 06:40:58 -0700 "AGFranks" <[email protected]> writes: > Hi Joyce: > > This has taken some sleuthing. George L.
