My sixth greatgrandparents lived in Hollis on Proctor Hill which was named after Moses PROCTOR, according to some resources I have read. Moses PROCTOR and Mary BYAM had five children. I have basic information on my fifth greatgrandparents, Moses Junior and Ruth AUSTIN, although always interested in more particularly on Mary BYAM or Ruth AUSTIN/ASTIN. The one person that interests me is their daughter Rebeckah, she was living with Moses PROCTOR Junior, he married Ruth and they had their first child in September of 1786, Moses 3. Rebeckah PROCTOR was born 15 April 1744 in Hollis. She was 42 in 1787 living with her brother, his wife and young son. Joseph Crossman, a fortuneteller came to court her one winter night, stayed late, maybe overnight and they were married the next day 17 January 1787 in Hollis. They lived briefly in his cottage down the lane from her brother Cyrus in a poor part of the town called "The City". The resulting scandal brought her and Joseph to flee to Boston where they were not heard from again. I wonder if anyone has more information on Joseph and Rebekah, I would imagine that they might not have had children but who knows. I am glad to share whatever I have and am interested in adding to my Proctor information.
