I'll second the motion. I have RACHEL HOLDEN, born 1700 in Groton, MA, who married WILLIAM LUND, 1716 of Dunstable, Middlesex County, MA. They lived in Hillsborough County. He died in Merrimack, NH in 1768. Their daughter MARY LUND married James UNDERWOOD who was from Litchfield, and one of the first Judges in Hillsborough County History. Any one have some ideas on were to search for more about the HOLDEN's? Please, include the group in the answer if possible. Colin Brooks

I am wondering if anyone has a copy of the 1776 Association Test list? I have one somewhere, but cannot locate it! I am looking for the locations of JOHN SMITH individuals. In the family there was a son JOHN SMITH born supposedly 1751, so there may be two in one location. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom Moffatt

Thank you for your offer. I don't have access to that book. I would be interested in the text concerning the Reverend if it wouldn't be any trouble to forward the information. I didn't realize there was one that covered the entire county. I have read excerpts from histories of Antrim, Francestown, & Weare where my relatives lived but I had not discovered that there was a history of the county itself. Is it very informative regarding families in Hillsborough? I might want to consider an interlibrary loan if it would be helpful for me in learning more about the Atwoods & Nichols. Thank you again.

I believe that at that time, the Congregational Church was the "established" church in New Hampshire, with everyone taxed to support the minister.
