Over the past several months I have written two or three letters to this line and they are totally ignored. Am I getting through or a persona non grata? Wells

Ann, Am curious--I haven't found (but haven't looked, either) to see if my Samuel PRINCE, b 14 May 1790, at Hillsboro, served in the War of 1812. He would have certain;y been the right age to have served. He was the first white man in Whitewater, WI, and as such, is recognized as the founder of that community in 1836. If he did serve, from Hillsborough County, I have more information on him, and would be interested in a copy of your book. Julie C. Hesson, ggggranddaughter of Samuel PRINCE.

Well, I'm on the list and I got your message! :-) Dianne Butler Lucas

Hi! I am working on a project of identifying over 400 soldiers of the War of 1812 who resided at their enlistment in a town then & now in Hillsborough Co., NH. This man fits that description. The History of Hancock, NH does not name his parents. I have checked the NH Vital Records to 1901, available to me through the DAR's inter-library loan of microfilm & fiche, for a birth of Micahaiah Mooers and found none. I as yet have not checked the Vital Records of Salisbury or Haverhill, MA. I wonder if you would be willing to share the page(s) of the family bible with me. I would of course credit you with a citation. I plan to publish this large project in the near future. Any thing I can do from this end I would be happy to do or share.

Hi, Cousins... I'm trying to identify parents of Rebecca Roberts who married Richard Hovey, 17 Dec 1789, at Peterborough, Hillsboro, NH. Would appreciate any help and will gladly share data on the Hoveys. Thanks, Dick Brown

This site was sent to me by another list member, You might want to check out the info that it has about some fraudulent pedigrees and family trees. This is good info to know while researching for your ancestors. Just wanted you all to know about this. List: Fraudulent pedigrees compiled by Gustave Anjou are listed here (scroll down first web page link) http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm If any of your source material contains references to his works, or family histories compiled from his works, then you are more than likely on the wrong track. These 'genealogies' have made their way into libraries, repositories, AND the Family History Library. Be sure to read the introduction on each of the three main web pages. It is sobering material. This is one example why every 'fact' gathered from compiled material (read web site, book, maillist, etc.) should be accompanied by a source citation....so we can check it out for ourselves! Sincerely, Richard S.EMERY Descendent of John EMERY,Newbury,Mass

Michaiah MOOERS, b. 6 April 1794, has been my 20 year brick wall. I am hoping that someone on this list may recognize his name, or be able to provide suggestions for my continuing research. Michaiah and his family resided in Hancock, NH, from about 1816 to 1828. He may also have resided for a short time in Peterboro, NH. Listed as a resident of Amherst, NH, Michaiah married 1st, Lucy KITTREDGE of Nelson, NH, in 1816 (2 children). He married 2nd, Sarah NEWTON, of Weathersfield, VT, in 1819 (5 children). He married 3rd, in 1871, at age 77, Rhoda RUSSELL FOSTER (no children). >From his gravestone, his family Bible and from The History of Hancock, NH, we know that Michaiah MOOERS was born 6 April 1794. I have been unable to find the names of his parents or locate his place of birth. Census records indicate that he was born in either NH or MA; the same was said for his unnamed parents. (Guess it depended on who answered the door the day the census taker made his rounds!) Clues handed down through the family over the years all contradict each other regarding his place of birth. Possibilities include Salisbury, NH, Burlington, VT, Bennington, VT, Bennington, NH, Salisbury, MA and the Haverhill, MA area. Nothing is known of Michaiah's father. Michaiah may have been an only child (family lore). His mother is said to have resided with him when he moved from Hancock to NYS in 1828 and is said to have died in NYS in 1851, with her body (again family lore) returned to New England for burial. She is not buried with the MOOERS family in Broome County, NY, and there is no mention of her in any town or church records. There is a woman, aged 60-70, residing with Michaiah in the 1830 NYS census; and aged 70-80 in the 1840 NYS census. Although this woman is not listed in the 1850 NYS census, I highly suspect she is the mother of Michaiah. Family lore also suggests a spelling change in the last name due to Michaiah (or one of his ancestors) being the black sheep of the family. Michaiah was an accomplished cabinetmaker and an undertaker in Hancock and NYS, and for a time William J. FLINT of Hancock, NH, and Broome Co, NY, was his partner. He served briefly in the War of 1812 as a substitute for Jothan/Jonathan RICHARDSON of Mont Vernon, NH. Jothan's father was a cabinetmaker and I've wondered if Michaiah may have been his apprentice. After finishing his 6 weeks' service in 1815 (for which he received a pension and bounty land), his service records show that Michaiah resided "for a while after discharge in Hancock, NH, then for about two years in the State of Vermont, after that until the year 1828 in Hancock, NH..." After his removal to NYS in 1828, NH connections were still kept. At least three daughters (Elisabeth Mariah Mooers PACKARD, Lucy Jane Mooers and Lydia Apphia Mooers returned to Nelson, NH, to work at Oliver and Nancy WHITCOMB's tavern and at the HARRISVILLE, NH, MILLS in the mid 1840s. I have two clues as to Michaiah's possible family. First, the family of Joseph MOORES of Hancock, NH, who removed to Broome County, NY (as did many other Hancock residents) only one month prior to Michaiah's October 1828 removal. Second, also residing in Hancock/Bennington was Apphia Stevens MOOERS GEORGE, a daughter of AMMIRUHAMAH MOOERS of the Haverhill, MA area. I have the names of 10 of Ammi's 13 children and the names he uses are names Michaiah used to name his own children; Apphia MOOERS GEORGE named her son Michaiah Mooers GEORGE. My suspicion is that Michaiah's father may be a sibling of Apphia, but I can find no proof. I'd truly appreciate any insight or suggestions list members may be able to provide. Finding Michaiah's origins would put to rest a nearly century old quest by a long and frustrated succession of his descendants!

The History of Lyndeborough, NH 1735-1905 p. 727 gives Olivia J b. 5-23-1842 d/o Eli Curtis & Sarah Loring. Olivia J m. May 1864 John Bradley Baldwin (1839-----). The History of Wilton, NH (1888) p. 302 gives John Bradley Baldwin m. 1) Jane O Curtis of Lyndeborough who d. Sep. 1865. He m. 2) Louise E Perham Jan. 1872 & she d. Oct.16, 1886. My published record of Lyndeborough's cemeteries in 1984 does not give the Baldwin family. You might try the printed--not published--cemeteries for Wilton. Should you not have access to this I do at the NSDAR Library in DC where I reside.

Bill, I am curious whether you have information on a Jane Olivia Curtis, born May 23, 1842 in Lyndeborough, NH and who died Sept. 19, 1866 (place unknown). She was the first wife of my great grandfather, John Bradley Baldwin. They were married May 1864 and I have not found any children of that union. Lucille Cameron

I am interested in the Peaslee reference as I am searching for Wilbert N Peaslee and his wife Elizabeth. They or his parents might have gone to Maine/new Brunswick from Hillsborough County with other loyalists often of Scottish background. Ric.Turner@att.net wrote: > 11.

I am searching for information about Hannah Morse who married William Patterson McAllister. McAllisters were from Hillsborough County New Hampshire but Father Daniel McAllister and his wife Sarah Patterson were loyalists who moved to New Brunswick about 1797. At that time William Patterson McAllister would have been about 23 and might have stayed in Hillsborough County until he was married?

Hi Lists, Looking for Samuel Peabody and his wife Elizabeth Wilkins. They were married in Andover, Essex Co. MA June 15, 1765 Children baptised at Andover: Oct. 12, 1777 Aaron, John, Moses and Samuel June 25, 1780 Jake May 27, 1781 Henry possible other child: Sarah who supposedly m. an unknown Damon in Andover. The family was possibly in NH for several years, but I do not know if Hillsborough Co. or Rockingham Co. I would appreciate any leads. Kathy source: for m. & b. Early Vital Records of Essex County Massachusetts to about 1850, Search & ReSearch Publishing Corporation, Wheat Ridge CO 80033, CD 1998

Kathy: According to the census indexes, Samuel PEABODY was in Milford, Hillsborough County starting in 1790. There is one listed there as late as 1850 also, which is probably his son. I can send you the 1850 listing if you're interested. Loretta B. IBSSG

Hello: I originally posted this information on the Hillsborough (NH) County Genforum, and thought to re-post it to a number of lists that I subscribe to, in the hope that it may be of use to others. 1.
