Ayer/Ayers/ page: 114: "Edward Ayers" 1680 (land grants along the Newichawannock) page 150: "Edward Ayers", 1712 (estate values) ------------------------------------------------- VITAL RECORDS OF HAMTPON,NH ; George F.Sanborn and Melinde Lutz Sanborn,NEHGS, 1992 Ayer/Ayers page 78: Samuel Ayers and Mary Johnson, were joined in mariag: 12 december 1681 page 136: Daniel Philbrick and Margrit Aiers joyed in marriage the 12 day of Nov. 1752 ------------------------------------------------------ Now, is it possible that these COULD BE relatives of Hatevil Nutter's wife, Ann(e) ???......longshot.
