Rockin' Rooters, Rather than post a LONG message, I decided to simply tell you that I have posted the Wills of Eli BEEDE(1699-1789) and Hezekiah BEEDE (1725-1801), both of Rockingham County, on http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/BeedeWill Surnames in the two wills include BACHELLOR, BEAN, BROWN, DAVIS, EDGERLY, FRENCH, GILBERT, GILMAN, GLIDDEN, HUNTOON, KIMBAL, LADD, MAGOON, PARKERKEY, ROBERTSON, SMITH, WEBSTER, and WHITE. If you are interested in any of the above names, you might want to take a look. You might also want to remember this page because I will be adding new wills in the future and I'm sure others will to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack W.

I am applying for membership to DAR. My ancestor grandfather, Bethuel MILLER was from NH, but he served under Col. Benjamin BELLOWS in the relief of Fort Ticonderoga. I have discovered he is listed in the following, but I live in Oregon and don't have access to any of the following. One of the questions on the DAR form is; What were his services during the Revolutionary War. Would somebody PLEASE try to look my ancestor Bethuel MILLER up in one of the following? Thank you very sincerely, Sarah srose@jeffnet.org Rolls of the Soldiers in the Rev. War 1775- May 1777; and Diaries of Lt. Jona Burton, Ed.

It has been suggested that I was not justified in posting my query regarding Mary Sanborn to the Rockingham list without showing any evidence that my Mary Sanborn was from the Rockingham area [see below]. I made the mistake of assuming that subscribers on this list would realize that I wouldn't post to the Rockingham list unless I had good reason to think that Mary could have been from that area. What I'm seeking is proof. If I get that proof, I will share it. My hypothesis is based on the fact that Mary was born in NH, the Sanborn family has roots in the Rockingham area and my family has roots in the Rockingham area. I apologize for not making this clear. In the future I will make every effort to leave no room for doubt. I hope the following file will provide me with the needed creditability as a Rockingham County researcher. I have done MUCH research in this area and enjoy sharing it with researchers on this list. If you are interested in any further information you might find what you need on my webpage [address below] and/or the archives for nhrockin [keyword: Pettit]. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Descendants of Daniel Hoyt Generation No. 1 1.

Interesting question, so I have asked my husband, who is a professional, registered land surveyor who has 12 years experience surveying in Rockingham County, NH prior to our immigrating to the Frozen North. He says: The original Land Grants were done by legal description as there were few points of reference other than rivers. ie. "3 miles north of the Merrimack River", which is now the Massachusetts-New Hampshire state line. >Were survey plat's made? or in what manner were these tracts described? Plans(plats) weren't usually needed until later years when town boundaries were established and land within the town became better defined, or when ownership boundaries became more important. Most "metes and bounds" legal descriptions from these long ago times described the property in reference to the abutting properties and the names of the owners unless there was a road or natural feature which would define the boundary, such as a stream, wood lot, stone wall, pond and even "the tree with the cow tied to it"(We found the tree and the chain was still there). A common description would be as follows:"A parcel of land in Newton, New Hampshire containing 5 acres and bounded on the west by land now or formerly of Nason. On the north by land now or formerly of Smith. On the east by the shoreline of Great Pond. On the South by the road leading from Salem to Exeter." There are probably 2 good reasons why drawings weren't used. 1. Attorneys prepared deeds and it was easier for them to write the description, however vague, than to draw a map. 2. There was no good way to reproduce a drawing other than tracing until the early part of the 19th century and you couldn't get a certified copy. The early drawings at the Rockingham County Registery od Deeds are pasted into plan books. Last we knew, the pages had to be photocpied. Don't know if they are available on fiche at this time. >Where could one find the "legal descriptions" of these grants. Who would have these records? Any grants prior to 1679 would probably be found in Salem, MA or Plymouth, MA. You start with a current parcel and go back to the beginning. It is impossible to start with the land grant and come forward unless someone has given you a lot of the research. It's not unlike a jigsaw puzzle. Hope that this makes sense to you. I personally would research titles at Salem, MA and would often get side tracked reading the descriptions. Sue Lang Warming Anchorage, AK

TO ONE & ALL According to Bell's "History of Exeter", land grants were made from 1630's to 1750 at varying times to the original settlers e.g. Wilsons, Gilmans, Things, Dudleys, etc. I do not believe these are shown in the Rockingham Recorders office at least not in the Grantor/Grantee indexes. Where could one find the "legal descriptions" of these grants. Were survey plat's made? or in what manner were these tracts described? Who would have these records? Fred Gain, P.O.

Dear List, and Donna, Would everyone please note that the husband of Ann [NOT Anna] Bachiler, mother of the three Samborne brothers who settled in Hampton, N.H., is absolutely unknown. Old claims that he was a John or a William are based on nothing, and should be discarded. Once one of these groundless assertions gets into print, it is a nightmare to eradicate it - sort of like trying to stop the spread of the AIDS virus. The Sanborn Family Association has spent a great deal of money and time to try to establish the identity of the husband of Ann Bachiler, so far without success. Anyone interested would do well to read the Bachiler sketch in "The Great Migration Begins" [volume 1], as well as the bibliographic references which that sketch cites. That will tell you all that is known about the first Sambornes and the first Bachilers. PLEASE, in the meantime, erase whatever you have written on your pedigree charts for the husband of Ann Bachiler. Whatever it is, it's wrong. He is UNKNOWN. George F. Sanborn Jr., F.A.S.G.

I have just found a thick, neatly typed document in my father's files, obviously prepared by a professional genealogist or someone almost so. This document was left to him by his Aunt Edith TILTON GORRELL MOULTON on her death in 1954. (Edith was niece to George Henry TILTON who worked very closely with Francis TILTON in the preparation of his book and whose photograph appears on p. 50 of the said book. Edith herself was very interested in the family history and took her research most seriously.) The dates on the upper right-hand corner go from Apr '52 to Jan '53, presumably when the document was typed. There is no indication who typed the document or of any sources. Having said this, the document is extremely detailed, giving places and dates of birth and death, names of spouses and of spouses parents and their place of origin, no marriage dates, however, names and dob/d for children, spouses, etc., etc. Beginning in 1793 and ending Dec 1952. It would appear that this was prepared as part of a follow-up chapter of one branch of the TILTON family had Francis TILTON and heirs continued with the original book. Example of presentation of material: Page 1 TILTON-BATCHELDER 1.

Their names are too numerous for me to go into here. Locations are primarily San Francisco, San Bruno, San Mateo. Unfortunately, this document doesn't help me with my great brick wall which is, can anyone help me find a birth record, anywhere, for Julia BATCHELDER, daughter of William BATCHELDER and Olive LADD, b. Northfield NH Mar 31 1799 d. San Mateo CA Mar 23 1881 and who were William BATCHELDER's parents!!! The original Stephen Tilton was my ggggrandfather.

I am hoping someone on the list has information on Hugh Clyde, brother to Joseph Clyde, Sr. If you have information on any of the Rockingham County Clyd (Clyde) family, please let me know. What follows is information Colonel Joseph Clyde, Jr., son of Daniel Clyd of Londonderry and Windham. Source: BOOK: Geneological and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, Vol 2, Pg 940-941; Ezra S. Stearns. FICHE, LDS-FHC 6046857 pg 17. "Colonel Joseph, eldest child of Daniel and Esther (Rankin) Clyde, was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1722, and died in Windham, June 7 1805, aged eighty-three. He accompanied his father's family to America and shared the hardships of the voyage to Massachusetts and of the following winter. At that time he was about ten years old. He learned the brickmaker's trade, and worked for a time in Billerica. After his marriage he settled on what is still known as the Joseph Clyde farm in Windham, where he built a one-story house near the highway, a few rods from the present house, where the ancient cellar is still to be seen. He took a foremost position in the town's affairs, and was selectman in 1749-50. He was commissioned lieutenant of a military company, May 7, 1764, and captain of the company, which was a part of the Eighth Regiment, May 3, 1770. When the "Lexington Alarm" reached Windham, Captain Clyde, who commanded the company of minute men in the town, was plowing in the field. He left his plow in the furrow and started immediately at the head of his company, each man having been notified. The women -- wives, mothers, and sisters of the soldiers -- at once cooked a large amount of food, and sent it to the front to the men. One of Captain Clyde's brothers loaded his horse quite heavily with provisions which his mother had cooked, and followed the company. It is not certain how far this company went, nor the length of the time of its service, as the muster-roll is lost, but it is not improbable that they joined the New Hampshire militia near Boston, as Captain Clyde's pay-roll to Cambridge for the services of his men was 35 pounds 8 shillings. He was commissioned captain of a company of minute-men, with the rank of colonel, February 16 1787. He married in Billerica, Massachusetts, Margaret Moffit, born in county Tyrone, Ireland, and came to Londonderry, New Hampshire, with her father when seven years of age. They were thirteen weeks and three days coming over, and when they arrived at Boston the passengers offered prayers of gratitude before leaving the ship. Her father was a maker of spinning wheels. He lived in Lunenburg, then a part of Billerica. He accidentally cut his wrist and bled to death. She used often to tell in her later years how plentiful wild animals were when she first settled in Londonderry. Sometimes, while she was spinning, the bears looked in at the windows of her cabin. Colonel Clyde kept two dogs, one to stay at the house with his wife, the other to hunt bears of of the corn. The children of this couple were: Daniel, Ann, Margaret, Mary, John, and Joseph...." This is just an extract. There is more information in the book. I do not have it, so unfortunately cannot do look ups. If you have a copy of this book for sale, or know where I can purchase it, please let me know. As always, let me hear from you if you make a connection. Happy hunting.

Keywords: Rockingham County, Keene, Windham, New Hampshire, NH, Clyde, Clyd, Association Test, Committee of Safety, 1776, New England Greetings fellow researchers. I am looking for connections to the Clyde or Clyde family of Windham, Rockingham County, NH. I learned of the connection to my family after discovering an old letter describing between the Indiana Clyde clan and the New Hampshire Clyd and Clyde families. The letter was written in 1920 to my great grandfather, Sheridan Clyde, from an un-named cousin residing in Keene, New Hampshire. Since finding the letter, I have been able to trace back to Daniel Clyd (Clyde). Daniel is one of the early settlers of Rockingham County, living primarily in Windham. He had several sons who were prominant members of the community. The letter provided the following information: Daniel Clyde b:1683 at Clydesdale, Scotland; d: 04 June 1753, age 70. Married twice, nine children total. Daniel emigrated from Londonderry, Ireland to Londonderry (now Windham), NH. A younger brother name Michael Clyde followed Daniel to America. Michael Clyde, having landed much further south, decided to settle in one of the Scottish settlements in Pennsylvania. Children of Daniel Clyde: Hugh Clyde (second son) b: Abt 1724, m: 5 Mar 1756 to Sarah Moffit d: 17 Feb 1777, age 44. Children: 9 Hugh became the possessor of the Simpson farm in Windham, NH. He lived most of his life and died on this farm. Children of Hugh Clyde: twin sons, John Clyde b: 28 Sep 1773 m: 8 Feb 1803 to Mehitable Griffin and Joseph Clyde, Sr. b: 28 Sep 1773 If you connect into this family, please let me know. In the mean time, I thought I would pass on some findings of interest. Have you discovered references to the Association Test? This is a great source for early residents of New Hampshire (and other New England colonies). Here are two sources with Clyd (Clyde) data. Inhabitants of New Hampshire 1776; Emily S.

Great description and pictures pages 62-67. My gr gr grandmother made flax for knotting (with steel pins) and I have some of her doillies (now framed) and a bedspread (because of disintegration is now a table runner). These articles got me interested and now I enjoy lace knitting, often using old cake testers as my favorite knitting needles. In order to copy the leaf edging on the bedspread, I took a section and ripped it out, a stitch at a time, so as to get the replica. (labor of love). From another grandmother, I have a book from 1894 (or thereabouts) with great dorections for knitted edgings, insertions, gloves, etc. I love lace knitting...so easy to carry around and work on with a few minutes here and there or waiting for...whatever. If anyone's interested in directions for a doily or lace edging...they look so nice on pillowcases...let me know. Sorry this is disjointed, but I'm typing as I'm thinking about it. BUT, do get a copy of Colonial Magazine for Aug '96...you'll love it.

I have never heard any claim about The Londonderry group introducing flax to America. I think it must be a mistake. They have been weaving flax and other materials since the first settlements. I have been to Derry as it's now called. Londonderry is a bit to the west -happened when the town was divided. I have been to the cemetery back of the church and seen the graves of my ancestors. Does anyone have any info on John Patten who married Jean/Jane Cochran? What I need is his parents. He is the immigrant born 1727 N. Ireland probably the brother of Samuel Patten of Bedford.

Does anyone on the list have access to either of the following books or the indexes and if so, could they look up any mention of GORRELL/GORRILL? Living in Portugal, its somewhat difficult for me to consult local libraries! I'd appreciate the help. "Fragmenta Genealogica" by Frederick Arthur Crisp "Geneological Gleanings in England" by Henry F. Waters. This was a work commissioned in 1883 in which he indexes over 1000 wills of NE settlers from England in the 16th and 17th centuries. Thanks in advance, Magdalena Northern Portugal
