Still seeking the lineage of Rhoda Ann DAY, supposedly born at Hartland, Brighton, Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada in 1818. Rhoda married Abraham STOCKFORD on 21 Nov 1835, also suposedly at Hartland, Brighton, Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada. Witnesses at the wedding ceremony of Abraham & Rhoda were: Job S. LEWIS & James HALLETT They had 12 children together, one of which is my gGrandfather; Joseph STOCKFORD. Since the STOCKFORD folks were Loyalists, and Carleton was a Loyalist area in that timeframe, I assume she must come from Loyalist lineage, but I have been unsuccessful in tracking it down, even after two visits to NB. Any hints are greatly appreciated. Jim -- Jim Roaix 605 W Shawnee Street Tahlequah OK 74464 918-207-0093 jerx42@hughes.net http://web.me.com/jerx/Neolithic_Sculpture/About_the_Artist.html

If NJ rings any bells, chances are it would be Bergen County as it was a hotly contested no mans land for the better part of the war. This would be especially true if the lineage happened to have any dutch lineage. You might check into the DeLancy papers as well. My $0.02.
