Any & All: Any info on an Ephraim Harris b abt or after 1680 who had a daughter "Mary" and son Ephraim....and other children around 1700. I'm looking for the "HARRIS FAMILY GENEALOGY" in Exeter, NH in late 1680's and early 1700 which includes these Harrises. Ephraim Harris supposedly had a daughter Mary Harris who later married a Norris. Ephraim supposedly had a son Ephraim and other children who were raised by a wife who remarried shortly after 1710 to a "Lister" or another person. Mary ?Harris, Lister,? prior to 1728 married as his first wife, James Norris (1702-1768) an incorporator of Epping. Your help will be appreciated. Fred Gain, P.O.

I'm still to track my elusive US ancestors so I'm having another try at finding a fellow researcher. Clement M DAVIS b.1-9-1995 in Portsmouth, NH, married Sarah STEVENS b.5-3-1798 on 12-7-1817 in Lee,NH. They had ten children, the sixth was Henry Burley DAVIS who emigrated to Australia during the days of the Victorian gold rush. Any takers? Regards Peter Coffee Camp Australia

There may be others with a name like that. James was born in Chester on 12/31/1747. (These towns are also in Rockingham). Speaking of Rockigham towns, I'd like to remind everyone with web access that a complete list of those towns (current names only) can be found on the Rockingham GenWeb page, URL below. Perhaps I can get together a list of former names to add later. -- Dick Marston, Rockingham County, NH, County GenWeb Pages: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1706/; Rockingham County, NH, Mail List (NHROCKIN) Owner.

Hi Karen and all, Yes, I've gotten to the point that counties really mean a lot to me to. Although someone might mention a specific town, if the county is not referenced also, I find it hard to define or associate where that particular town or city might be located, and I find myself losing interest in the specific query unless it is a name of a person or location that happens stand out for some reason.

I am looking for the ancestors of Bruce Dow of Hampton - probably born in the early to mid 1940's. I need his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents to finish my tree. Thanks

Thanks to all of you who responded with information on the Brackett Massacre. I have a few photos of the burial ground, if anyone is interested. I haven't figured out my scanner yet, but I would be glad to send copies by regular mail (even though postage is increasing again tomorrow!). Y'all probably already know about the following WWWeb site, but I just found it today, so I'm sending it in, just in case it might help somebody else who is researching the Brackett family. It contains five Brackett descendant outlines, plus other information, including a brief mention of the Brackett massacre. <A HREF="http://www.qni.com/~anderson/BrackettTOC.html">Brackett Information </A> http://www.qni.com/~anderson/BrackettTOC.html Descendants of Anthony1 and (?)

Descendants of Anthony5 and Susanna (Marston) Sawyer. Thanks again -- Vickie in Texas

Hi all- Thanks to all who reassured me that Greenland is alive and kicking in Rockingham County. I've gotten so used to thinking in counties I get very put out when I find town names with no county given! Is anyone researching the TOWLE, BROWN, or FOGG families? Specifically, I'm looking for an Elizabeth TOWLE b. 1770, Ann BROWN, b. 1717 and the daughter of Abraham, and Hannah FOGG, b. 1690. Thanks again. Karen

In reply to: Subject: Places? Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 21:20:21 EST From: KLKimball@aol.com I'm trying to find out if "Greenland NH" is in Rockingham Co. Does it have a new name? I know Hawke is now Danville, and Poplin is now Fremont. I tried the USGS mapping website to find a county for Greenland, and it said no matches found. What about Rye? The 1839 New England Gazetteer has the following entry for Greenland NH: Rockinbgham co., is situated five miles W.S.W. from Portsmouth, and 45 E.S.E. from Concord: it is bunded N. by the Great-Bay and Newington, E. by Postsmouth and Rye, S. by North-Hampton, and W. by Stratham. The soil is remakably good. The orchards and gardens of this town are valuable, and yield annual profits to the farmers. Greenland, originally a part of Portsmouth, was incorporated as a distinct town in 1703. Settlements commenced early, and in 1705 there were 320 inhabitants. Rev. Samuel M'CLINTOCK, D.D., who died int he 48th year of his ministry, was born at Medford, Mass., May 1 1732; graduated at the New Jersey college in 1751; ordained in 1756; and died April 27, 1804, aged 72. His father was a native of Ireland. Dr. M'Clintock was a sound divine, eminenet as a apreacher, and distinguished for his attachment to the cause of his country. He served as a chaplain in the army of the revolution. Population in 1830, 681. Entry for Rye, NH: Rockingham co., is pleasantly situated on the sea coast, 6 1-2 miles S. from Portsmouth. It was originally taken from Portsmouth, Greenland, Hampton and New Castle, chiefly the latter; and though it began to be settled as early as the year 1635, it was not incorprated till 1719. The sea coast here is about 6 miles in extent, being nearly one third of the coast in the state. On the shore, there are three considerable and very pleasant beaches, viz. Sandy, Jenness' and Wallis?, to which many persons resort in the summer season from neighboring towns and the country, both for health and for pleasure. There is here a small harbor, near Goss' mill, into which vessels of 70 or 80 tons burden may conveniently enter, at high water. The boat fishery is carried on to considerable advantage, particularly in the fall and winter seasons. There was formerly a large fresh water pond, lying continguous to the sand bank or bounds of the sea, covering a surface of about 300 acres. Between this and the sea, a communication was opened by the inhabitants about a century since. The waters were discharged into the sea, leaving a tract of marsh, which, being watered by the regular flowing of the tide, yields annually large quantities of salt hay. Breakfast Hill, between this town and Greenland, is distinguished as the place where a party of Indians were surprised at breakfast, at the time of their incursion in 1696. There are small circular holes in the rocks of which this hill is principally composed, supposed to have been made use of by the natives. This town has suffered considerably in times of war and danger. In the American or revolutionary war, 38 of its inhabitants lost their lives, by sea or land; most of them young men. Population in 1830, 1,172. Interesting, isn't it? Magdalena

Karen: Greenland is still in Rockingham, in a triangle with Stratham at the west, Rye at the east and Greenland at the apex to the north. Hurray to Joyce Davies, would that you were able to find all our brick walls!

Karen, You definitely shouldn't mention the temperature; it's 20 degrees and snowing hard here. Joshua BRACKETT is not my line, but I believe I have come across him in Greenland. Libby, Noyes & Davis may have some clues. There is some wonderful WEEKS probate including a contested will that was in the courts for quite some time. If I remember correctly some of the Bracketts were among the relatives contesting. I'm not sure if Joshua and Mary were involved or not.

Their daughter Eleanor was born in 1712. They may have been from Raymond, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'd like to hear from anyone with information on the Bracketts.
