I would like a pedigree for the above who was born 18 Nov 1923 in East Derry.His fathers name was also Alan and his grandfathers name was Frederick. The family came from East Derry and owned the town bank.

The exact title of the book is "The Gilmans of Hingham, England" or The story of the Gilmans and a Gilman Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Gilman of Hingham, England 1550-1950 by Constance Le Neve Gilman Ames, Yakima Washington I made a typing error in that the original authors name is Constance Gilman Ames ...... he son still lives in Yakima, Wa. The 2nd edition was recently printed by Heritage Books, Inc. by Wayne Clark Gilman and John Ames (the authors son) I'm certain that the NEHGS main library has the original book and I'd find it hard to believe that the NEHGS lending library has one edition or the other. What are you Gilman or NH lines as best you know them, maybe I can help?

George: NEHGS library has the Gilman Family History by "Charlotte Ames Gilman" . It was recently republished by Heritage Publishing In NH probate records are in several places. 1). The best source for early records in many counties, after 1700 is in the State Archieves, located on Fruit Street in the Old State Funny Farm, in Concord, NH.... my friend thinks that is a suitable place as all "genealogists are crazy according to her". 2). Next try the county Probate Clerk which is a division of the local court clerks office. 3). The NH provincial papers a publication a convenient source for documents prior to 1800. 4). Prior to 1700 try the Massachusetts State Archives near the Kennedy center in Boston .... remember from about 1740 until 1690 NH was part of "Old Norfolk County" Massachusetts. I agree that there may be a missing link between Elijah Vickery and his Gilman wife and the Elijah Vickery and Lydia who was in the Revolution. He could have moved away from Exeter after 1750, and had a son???? The son may not have been shown on birth records. If the son was in Rockingham County, try the deed records there at the court house in Brentwood/Kingston, NH.

George: It appears that Hannah Gilman (b 9/14/17 to Joshua Gilman and Maria Hersie) as set forth in Ames Gilman Book, m Elijah Vickery: is mentioned in 1742 in connection with her father's estate: 70 years later a Hannah Gilman Vickery Fogg: probably her grandau, was the mother of the Hon George Gilman Fogg, Sec of State 1846, U.S> Minister to Switzerland, 1861 and U.S> Senator in 1867. He was unmarried children of Elijah and Hannah Vickery are 1). Sarah 9/7/1746 3 Nabby: 10/21/1750 2). Hannah 2/26/1748/9 4 Betty 11/17/1754 I doubt if Hannah Gilmans husband served in the Rev War.... he would have been close to age 70 or over The Elijah and Lydia you mention could likely be children or grandchildren of Hannah & Elijah Fred Gain -----Original Message----- From: GHBranigan@aol.com <GHBranigan@aol.com> To: NHROCKIN-L@rootsweb.com <NHROCKIN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, August 30, 1999 8:16 AM Subject: Exeter Vickerys >Hi all--I'm up to my ears in Elijah Vickerys and need help sorting them out >and how and if they connect to other families in Exeter. > >First, the LDS data base lists an Elijah Vickery b. 1708 as married to Hannah >Gilman in 1745. > >Second, the History of the Town of Exeter (Bell) records baptisms of four >daughters of an Elijah Vickery (no wife named) spanning from 1746-1754 (p. >77)and the birth of a William (alias, Elijah) to Elijah and Lydia Vickery in >1782 (p. 64). > >Third, Revolutionary War records mention an Elijah Vickery as serving in >Capt.

Hi all--I'm up to my ears in Elijah Vickerys and need help sorting them out and how and if they connect to other families in Exeter. First, the LDS data base lists an Elijah Vickery b. 1708 as married to Hannah Gilman in 1745. Second, the History of the Town of Exeter (Bell) records baptisms of four daughters of an Elijah Vickery (no wife named) spanning from 1746-1754 (p. 77)and the birth of a William (alias, Elijah) to Elijah and Lydia Vickery in 1782 (p. 64). Third, Revolutionary War records mention an Elijah Vickery as serving in Capt. Shortridge's Co (1775) and in Capt Marston's Co (1776). The name appears in other sources as well. Fourth, the census in 1790 lists an Elijah Vickery as head of household with three males unders 16 (thus all born after 1784) and three females. Are there records to straighten out all the references? Are the Elijahs all the same person? Is there a father-son connection un-documented (thus, two Elijahs)? Where is the Hannah mentioned in the LDS records and is she replaced by a Lydia without any records? Where did the first (only?) Elijah come from? A point in the next right direction will be appreciated. George

New England is quite confusing as that is where most all immigrants landed. Boston to Maine. As with the Dow's Eatons and Fowlers, I have noticed that more than one family has come directly over seas. I know there are at least three families, not related settled in Seabrook and Salisbury Would anyone be able to give me a hint on just how many clans I am dealing with in Seabrook? EX.:John; Peter; George; Henry etc. I know those are some firsts that landed here. Not all in Seabrook, Rockingham Co. NH. How many for migration to just Seabrook? I know that I am grasping at straws, but if I can start from the top and work down, then I might just find he one that I am looking for with all of you helping with suggestions and ideas. Thanking you greatly in advance Gladys http://community.webtv.net/sassypup/GLADYSWEBPAGEABOUT

I'm looking for any information about the birth and parentage of Elizabeth Pierce. She was born in Epping in 1806, married Sherburn Blake on 12 Apr 1825 and died 26 Apr 1839. She is buried in the Raymond town cemetery. Family lore says that she was a sister of President Franklin Pierce but I have never been able to confirm this. Sherburn and Elizabeth had a daughter Ellen Parkhurst Blake, born 24 Mar 1833 in Raymond. She married Elbridge Webster 24 Nov 1859 in Raymond. Loring.Webster@Hanscom.af.mil

I just ran into another one Isaac Brown gen 1-4 Seabrook, Rockingham NH. of course, it spit back at me can not find the page. This happens to me everytime I find somethting that I need. Do I need to be on computer to gain full acces to the website, or does anyone thing that there is another problem? Thanks much for your time Gladys Harris http://community.webtv.net/sassypup/GLADYSWEBPAGEABOUT

Could anhone pleas tell me the heads of the househ of the First Brown and Dow families to inhabit Seabrook NH? I'm trying to whittle down my line to Isaac Brown b. 3 July 1800 in seabrook, NH. It is either Isaac Brown & Mary or ____ Brown. This is all that I can find out. Maybe by working from the top down I can find my answers.

God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later    who you're stuck with."    Kirsten, age 10    WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?    -------------------------------------    "Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER    by then." Camille, age 10    "No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get    married." Freddie, age 6    HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?    --------------------------------------------------    "Married people usually look happy to talk to other people."    Eddie, 6    "You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling    at the same kids."    Derrick, age 8    WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?    --------------------------------------------------    "Both don't want no more kids."    Lori, age 8    WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?    ----------------------------------    "Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to    know each other.

Hi Cindy, I do not know anything about Luther, but can tell you that the name Silloway is the same as Musilloway, and both are corruptions of the name O'Sullivan - the immigrant ancestor was an Irishman, rather rare in northern New England at the time, and the old Yankees had a very tough time figuring out what his name ought to be. Probably he had a bit of an accent, too, and didn't know how to write it himself. Have always thought this would be an interesting family to descend from, but, alas! I don't (as far as I know).
