I am new to this list, and have many Worcester County relatives. Daniel STEWART (STUART, STEWARD) was born in Leicester or Rutland in 1756 (history says Paxton, but Paxton was formed from parts of these towns in 1765). He served in the Revolutionary War for 19 days. In 1779 he married Dorothy MAYNARD of Westborough. In 1783 they moved to Brattleboro, VT. Their daughter Elizabeth married my g-g-g-grandfather James Frost. Daniel died in 1834. Widower Ebenezer FROST was in Cambridge, MA with four children in 1760. He married Ruth Wright of Woburn in 1761, and they moved to a farm he bought in Rutland, MA. They had six children (in addition to four Ebenezer had with first wife Naomi Dana). Son James was probably born Dec. 15, 1776. A shoemaker, James moved to Brattleboro, VT in 1790, later marrying Elizabeth Stewart. Ebenezer died in 1768. His home, which was built around 1760-61, still exists, although moved from its original location. The current owner allowed my husband and me to tour it in 2003. Amazing. Robert Anthony CALLAHAN moved from Charlestown, NH to Fitchburg around 1893, then to Worcester around 1895. He was a bartender or waiter, then had his own saloon starting around 1904. He married Florence PRATT in 1902. She died between 1911 and 1918. Prohibition closed his saloon in 1920, and his employment was spotty after that. He married Karah E. (surname unknown) in 1927. She was a clerk in a boot and shoe company. He died around 1936, Karah around 1949. Robert didn't have children with either wife. John C. CARMODY married Joanna (Annie) KENT in 1888. In 1890 they moved from Keene, NH to Fitchburg, where he worked for Western Union. By May of 1891 John's mother Mary (CORBETT) CARMODY was living with him. In 1892 he was manager of the Postal Cable Telegraph, a position he held through 1911. By 1895 he established Carmody's District Messenger and Signal Service which he ran while working at Postal. He invented a signal device for the telegraph and a device that allowed people to drive a car with hands only. His sisters Ages and Ellen (Nellie) lived in Fitchburg or Leominster from around 1896 to 1908 when they and their mother moved back to Charlestown, NH. Both John and Annie died in 1926. They are buried in Keene, NH with Annie's mother and brother. Last week I discovered that many of Annie (Kent) CARMODY's KENT relatives lived in Fitchburg, including her brothers Timothy and James. Timothy and wife Bridget (often listed by nickname Delia) Welch had six children, some of whom I found into the 1950s. James and wife Annie had several children, but he didn't live long. I need to go back to the Library of Congress and check Fitchburg city directories for this family. Sources for the above information include federal censuses; city directories; two Frost family genealogies; vital records; histories of Brattleboro, Rutland (MA), and Charlestown, NH; tombstones; over 60 articles from Fitchburg newspapers on Ancestry.com; and information from the Rutland and Charlestown Historical Societies. If anyone is related to these individuals, please contact me and we can exchange information. There may be a delay in responding since I'll be at the NGS convention 5/13-17.
