Hi Helen: I think I may have located your ancestral relative, Louisa Bartlett who m. William Dutton Hayward on 5 Nov, 1836. The Vital Statistics of Northboro show a marriage by Lois-W and William Hayward of Hopkinton, occcurring 27 Oct., 1836. This may be the date the intentions were published or it may be the actual wedding date. The births for Northboro show that Lois-White Bartlett, a dau. was born on 3 Apr.,1813 to Gill and Sally Bartlett. The parents Gill and Sally refer to Gill Bartlett, son of Antipas Bartlett and Lois White, who was b. in Northboro on 15 Oct., 1773. Sally refers to Sally Patterson, the dau. of David Patterson and Beulah Clark, who was b. in France on 30 July, 1776 and d. in Northboro 21 July, 1826. I show 8 children born to Sally, the last of which was Lois-White Bartlett. Gill and Sally's marriage is shown in the Vital Statistics of Northboro as 25 April, 1796, but based upon a record review that I made in the Northboro Town Clerk's office some years ago, I found the official date to have been 25 Aug., 1796. Following Sally's death, Gill married Sarah (Crawford) Wyman, the widow of Abraham Wyman and the dau. of Col. John Crawford and Rebecca Mahan who was b. in in Boylston on 6 May, 1795. [Source: unpublished genealogy notes of Gilman Bigelow Howe, ca 1850-1940.] The Vital Statistics of Northboro record this marriage as having taken place on 1 Dec., 1828. Northboro town records indicate that Rev. Joseph Allen officiated. The 1850 Census reports Gill and Sarah living together in Worcester, at which time he was 77 and she was 55 years of age. Gilman Bigelow Howe reported that Gill Bartlett d. on 5 Jan., 1859; this date is in agreement with the record in the Northboro Town Clerk's office. I was just searching through my notes to see if I could find the date of death for Sarah (Crawford) Bartlett, but instead I found a third marriage for her at age 71, on 27 Nov., 1866 to Gill Valentine, a 78 year old surveyor who had been born in Hopkinton, the son of William and Elizabeth J. Valentine. It was his second marriage. Tracing back the Bartlett lineage: 6. Lois-White Bartlett was the dau. of Gill and Sally (Patterson) Bartlett. 5. Gill Bartlett was the son of Antipas and Lois (White) Bartlett. She was b. in Lancaster. 4. Antipas Bartlett was the son of Jotham and Miriam (Howe) Bartlett. 3. Jotham Bartlett was the son of Daniel and Martha (Howe) Bartlett. 2. Daniel Bartlett was the son of Henry and Mary (Bush) Bartlett. She was b. in Cambridge. 1. Henry Bartlett was born in Wales probably between 1655 and 1660. His parentage is not known at this time. ^ In 1675 he served in Capt. Johnson's Company in the War Against King Philip (also known as the ^ Naragansett campaign). My descent includes Henry and Daniel, but not the other individuals shown above. Hope this information is helpful. Bob Bartlett

Dear Fellow Listers, I have just came across a sight that gives you some History of Mass. It is this.....http://www.massmoments.org I was very surprised to find out Mass had a lepers colony. I don't ever remember anyone I know talking about it. It was 1905 at Penikese Island in Buzzards Bay. But there is also something about Eli Whitney. You can also listen to radio broadcasts about it. Anyway, there are things to search for. Maureen _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Hi Maureen and All: Here is an article about Penikese Island written last year in the Boston Globe Newspaper. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/11/26/ the_tragedy_of_penikese_island/ Alison

Thank you Pat for the additional information. I've been digging around in my source materials to see where I got the name Sampson for Simeon Bowman. It came from a handwritten record that I had copied several years earlier from an unpublished genealogy prepared by Gilman Bigelow Howe (ca 1850-1940). This same genealogical resource was subsequently inherited (and added to) by his nephew, John A. Bigelow of Marlboro. The Vital Statistics of Northboro and Westboro clearly identify Mr. Bowman' name as Simeon, although Betsey's name is subject to some variation in spelling. Just to add a little something to the mix, if we note the dates of birth and marriage for Betsey Bartlett (1764 and 1797 respectively) we see that she would have been in her 30s when she married Simeon Bowman. One might speculate that at this time in our country's history, that would represent an advanced age for a woman to marry for the first time. The reason I bring this up is that in my handwritten notes there is an entry which was crossed out indicating that Betsey Bartlett m. John Fisk in 1790. At this time I have no way of corroborating against the original source to determine whether I, myself, mistakenly made the original notation, realized my error on the spot, and then crossed it out, or whether I faithfully copied an entry that had been crossed out in the original manuscript. If this detail if of any relevance to your research, you may want to further investigate and see if there was any Fisk connection. Do you have any information on the town in which Simeon and Betsey resided after their marriage (also where their children were born) and where Betsey died and was buried?

In the Farwell family bible it gives her birth date as May 30, 1799 (above attributed to "Holloway" which I believe was her middle name) her grave marker lists her death as Jun. 15, 1873 at age 74 which works out to 1799 for her birth. Apparently there are confusing inconsistencies in the Berlin info. Betsey's marriage date from Berlin was the first I found, and is what I had in my notes. If the intentions listed for Aug. 23, 1797 (Westboro) are accurate your marriage date of Oct. 31, 1797 makes more sense. I was surprised to see that Betsey's family ended up in Westboro.

Irish Free State From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Irish Free State (Irish: Saorstát Éireann) was (1922–1937) the name of the state comprising the 26 of Ireland's 32 counties which were separated from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland under the Irish Free State Agreement (or Anglo-Irish Treaty) signed by British and Irish Republic representatives in London on December 6, 1921. The Irish Free State came into being in December 1922, replacing two co-existing but nominally rival states: the de jure Southern Ireland, which had been created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and which from January 1922 had been governed by a Provisional Government under Michael Collins; and the de facto Irish Republic under the President of Dáil Éireann, Arthur Griffith, which had been created by Dáil Éireann in 1919. (In August 1922, both states in effect merged with the deaths of their leaders; both posts came to be held simultaneously by W.T. Cosgrave.) There is a good deal more on the history of the IRISH FREE STATE on the website below - see URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Free_State

Hello I wonder if someone could check and see if they could find either a Birth or Death Record for me. The name as it was written on the 1880 Census is Maggie ROLAND. I think that she was born either 1862 or 1863. After the 1880 census she disappears, no one seems to know where. The family name as most did has various spellings(these are the main ones that I have found: ROMAN RONAN RONEN RONIN ROMAINE ROWAN ROHAN Thank you in advance for your help and I am hopeful that someone can help find her.

Joe - I haven't been able to find much else about the infirmary http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/doctors1.html this site has bios of doctors from RI - I found one piece of information there Joseph H. Akers, M.D., was born on the 11th of November, 1856, at Granby, Mass. His parents were Joseph W. and Lucy A. Akers. He attended Dartmouth Medical College, graduating in the class of 1884, and for one year previous to graduating was assistant physician in Doctor Ira Russell's 'Family Home', at Winchendon, Mass., a private retreat for the treatment of nervous and mental diseases and the alcohol and opium habits. There was an F. W. Russell listed as a physician in the 1890-91 Winchendon City Directoy. 1930 Gardner City Directory shows Gardner City Infirmary, Winchendon Rd, n Town Line There was also a State Colony for the Insane in Gardner, which I believe is on the Gardner/Winchendon line. Try the library - Beals Memorial Library (978) 297-0300 50 Pleasant St Winchendon, MA 01475 http://www.winchendon.citymax.com/library.html They may have a local history collection, or they can tell you if they have any city directories for that time period which might help with locating the place and seeing how long it operated.

Hi Pat: I may have found some information on your ancestor, Betsey Bartlett. I have 4 Betsy Bartletts in my program, but only one had a brother, Adam and it just happens that this particular Betsey married a Bowman, though I have his name as Sampson, rather than Simeon. The dates I have are also at variance with your dates. Anyway here goes: According to the Vital Statistics of Northboro, Betsey Bartlett was born 30 Nov. 1764 in Northboro, MA. She was the dau. of Jonathan Bartlett and Mary Holloway. They had married on 18 April, 1753 in Westboro, MA. They had 8 children for whom I have a record, including: 1. Adam B. son b. 27 Jul, 1754 in Marlboro; m. Persis Badcock/(Babcock) on 27 May 1792 in Northboro; d. 22 Jul 1828 or 1832 in Berlin. (Different dates from different sources.) 2. Zadock B. son b. 10 April, 1756 in Marlboro; m. Hannah Sever abt. 1780; d. date and place unknown. 3. Levinah B. dau. b. 18 Dec. 1757 in either Northboro or Westboro, MA; m. Silas Bailey. No further information. 4. William B. son b. 12 Aug, 1760 in Northboro or Westboro, MA.; m. Azubah Gleason 21 Feb, 1788. 5. Moly (aka Molly) B. dau. b. 9 May, 1762 in Northboro, MA; m. James Longley of Shrewsbury on 15 Jan, 1784. They had 11 children and resided in Boylston. She d. 27 Aug, 1831 at age 69. 6. Betsey B. dau. b. 30 Nov. 1764 in Northboro, MA.; m. Sampson Bowman on 31 Oct. 1797. 7. Jotham B. son b. 24 Aug, 1766 in Northboro, MA; m. Rachel Rice on 26 Jun, 1792 in Northboro, MA. 8. Jonathan B. son b. 8 Jul, 1770 in Northboro, MA; m. Molly Fawcett on 28 Mar, 1793. Can you cite a source for Betsey's death on 4 Jun, 1822, and indicate where she lived and where she died? Some of my information was supplemented by access that was granted me several years ago to the unpublished genealogy of Gilman Bigelow who had once been a Northboro Town Clerk. That's part of the reason I show different death dates for Adam Bartlett who moved to Berlin. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 11:05 PM Subject: bartletts of Marlboro-Northboro Hi Bob, I saw your message on the MAWORC list . I have been looking for the family of my GGG Grandmother BETSEY BARTLETT, born abt. 1775. Married Simeon Bowman Aug. 21, 1797 of Westboro. Notes say she was from Northboro and had a brother Adam. She died Jun 4, 1822. I wonder if she may be part of your research? Pat Gosselin, Sturbridge

I wonder if someone on this list lives in or close to Barre MA and could call the Glen Valley Association that has the records for the Glen Valley Cemetery and find out for me the death dates for MARIANNE (RUSSELL) BARTHOLOMEW, and her husband, JOHN BARTHOLOMEW (d. aft. 1930 census) and MARIANNE's mother's date of death (MARY ANN (WARREN) RUSSELL. I have the year as 1893. Any other family members buried in their plot would be of interest as well. GARTH DICKSON is in charge of these records. The Barre Historical Society gave me his phone number as: 978-355-4636. I live in California and it sure would be a help if someone living in the area could call for free! Thanks. Jacki Russell

I am answering to this earlier post. I stated I went as far as I could in Swimming lessons when I was in eigth grade. The next thing to do was take the life Savers Course. I weighed only about 70 pounds. The life savers course was offered at Whites Beach in Mendon. I aslo stated you had to wear a T Shirt over your bathing suit and jeans and a sweatshirt and socks and sneakers.....They took you out in a row boat and the instructor had to jump in the water and you had to turn the fighting person over and cuff him under his chin and bring him safely to shore. You had to do this three times without going under...AND I said on the third attempt I went under and it was an immediate FAIL.They told me to come back when I had a few more pounds on me I did not finish that story. I went back up there when I was a Junior in High School....The same two instructors took me out on the lake again. When I first jumped in the water I looked them straight in the eyes.. AND I said if either one of them JUMPED on my head I was going to consult an attorney. The reason why I went UNDER on my first try was because on THAT first TRY the INSTRUCTOR jumped on my head and that was why I went under and FAILED. They said they would not do it this time and the reason why they did it the first time was because I did not wiegh enough to become a life Saver yet...SO I said well then you should have told me that last time and I would not have tried out till I was older....Sheryl that was BOB PAGNINI and BOB MCGINNUS.....They both were the INSTRUCTERS >From: Sheryl Romasco <[email protected]> >To: "Maureen Cooley" <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [MAWORCES] About Mendon, Mass. >Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 21:10:16 -0500 > >Hi Maureen, > >I have been at meetings every night this week so I am behind on all my >reading.
