I've loved reading where people are from and who they are researching. I am from Fruitland, Idaho, on the border of Idaho and Oregon. I am researching BLACK, DAVIS, FLAGG, STEWART, WEBB, SMITH, SILLOWAY and HOLT. All of these are from Holden. Others who may have come to Worcester County from Essex County are: BRIDGES, SYMONDS, JOHNSON and I'm sure many others. My brickwall is finding who the wife of Daniel BLACK, b: 1778 in Holden. He, with other relatives, went to Berlin, Vermont. His first child was born in Berlin, Vermont in 1807. His children were Benjamin P., b: 1807; Sukey C, b: & d: 1809; Paul Brigham, b: 1810; Anna Smith, b: 1812; William Howard, b: 1815; and Jesse L S, b: 1823. Would love to hear from anyone interested in the above names. Bev Reinhardt bevr@fmtc.com Fruitland, Idaho
