Great maps of NH circa 1895 can be down loaded from the Univ of NH at <http://docs.unh.edu/nhtopos/NewHampshire.htm> These are topographical maps that were surveyed in the late 1800s One problem is that they were scanned in four sections so you have to splice together. Adobe 5.0 works great for this and although it'll take some time it's well worth it. You'll end up with a very nice and well detailed color map. I've checked the Manchester map that goes all the way south to Nashua and east to Windham with no sign of Knowles Island or Pond. > Subject: Knowles Pond & Knowles Island > Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:29:59 -0500 > From: Ellen Bisson <thebissons@worldnet.att.net> > To: NHROCKIN-L@rootsweb.com > > Found two refs in an Ancestry.com Gazetteer & Atlas lookup for Knowles > Pond (which apparently stretches through to Merrimack Co.) and Knowles > Island, both in Rockingham Co., NH.

Is there a county surveyor's office? What is the best source for obtaining info from old county maps (other than the MA archives, that is)? Regards, Ellen Knowles Bisson

List Members, Seeking information concerning the Emery, Moses, Pearson and Swasey families of Exeter during the 1600's and 1700's. Would greatly appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks, Larry in Florida

On the Civil War Widow's Pension for Lucy Tilton Page , one of the witnesses is Nathan B. Tilton of Exeter . I would hope Nathan is either a brother or Lucy's father . Would anyone have anything on Nathan and possibly know his/their parents ? As an aside , New Hampshire has a volunteer named Robert Christie who helps process requests and is doing an excellent job , if anyone is thinking of writing for records . He located the enlistment papers of 2 other veterans . Mahalo , Kevin

O.K., folks. The yellow flag just went up. Let's stay on the track with due caution. Thanks for your help. -- Dick Marston, NHROCKIN mail list (333 subscribers).

Shannon may be into early American history; back when the King granted half the east coast to the Virginia Company. AL S.

Yes, Rockinham County was and still is in Virginia. Suggest you look on page 291 of " The Vital Record Compendium" for where to get records type stuff. John Colliton

Both states have one. Find Harrisonburg, VA, on the map, and you'll find the other Rockingham co., (with few states in between).

Neophyte question; Was Rockingham County at one point in Virginia? I am not familiar enough with New Hampshire history to know. Shannon Clyde

Would anyone have any information on the parents of Susan Wiggin , b. April 13 , 1782, probably in Stratham ? She married Richard Sinclair , Jr. on April 21 , 1806 and died in Roxbury , Mass. on April 8 , 1845 . These dates from Morrison's 'History of the Sinclairs' . Mahalo , Kevin

There's a new (as yet uncategorized) Rootsweb mailing list for the KNOWLES surname (and its variants). Since the family's origins include much of ME, NH, and VT, I thought it would be useful for you to know. As with other Rootsweb lists, to subscribe send a msg to: KNOWLES-L-request@rootsweb.com with only the word "subscribe," without quotation marks, in the body of the msg. Nothing in the subject line. A confirmation msg is returned almost immediately. My apologies if you receive duplicate messages. Regards, Ellen Knowles Bisson

Where (on line) can I find info on King Phillips War.

Hi, I have a Joseph Kendall Jenness born 1834 in Ossipee, NH. Does anyone know if he is related to a Deborah Jenness born 1810 and died 1887? She is buried in Ossipee NH. Deborah was married to Ordon Hobbs. Thank you Judy cats..dog@worldnet.att.net

Ancestory.com has added some new data bases which you can search for free at this time. Two of interest are the Boston port arrrivals and the vital records of Londonderry. I hold an original copy and a reprint of the vital records of Londonderry and the info on my line is 100% acurate. Happy searching.
