Thanks for getting back to me, Jud. It sounds as if it might be worth at least looking at this book.

It is quite a piece of work - published in 1915 I think privately by her husband - she did it all apparently by some travel in New England and study of old colonial and church records. Its all of two inches think and pages about 6 x 9 inches or larger. A lot of information. I found it first in the Fort Worth PL in microfiche. Good family history libraries should have that. There are some hard copies around (Marlborough MA PL and Western Reserve Univ - where the microfiche came from); it can be bought in xerox through the New England Historical Society or some group like that, but is probably expensive. -- Peace, Jud
