Thank you Ellen and Gary . I live on Maui so a trip to Exeter is not practicle at the moment. I have written the INS about his naturalization papers. Hopefully they will not take too long (and find something). The National Archives took almost 3 months for John A. Sinclair's Pension Forms to reach me ; I was hoping for a shortcut via this list. For Michele Stepto , try writing The State of NH , Records Management and Archives , 71 South Fruit St. Concord 03301-2410.They have been very nice and helpful . Don't forget a SASE.Does the name Pamelia Princess Cualty Page mean to anybody? My g-g-grandmother. Any family? Mahalo-Kevin

Had a chance to look at the Gen. Dict. Me & NH over the weekend. The Neal family entry provided some insight: it would seem that it is "plausible" that Jane was the daughter of John and Mary (Berry) Foss. This is mostly based on the family tradition that the Fosses had twelve children who lived to maturity and married. Only ten have been identified. Jane could be one of the missing two. Her granmother Berry was named Jane and two of her sons' names match two of the Foss sons. What source do you have that states that she was a Foss? This query hit close to home since I have been recently doing some fairly heavy research into my 5th gr gr mo Hannah Jenness. Hannah's Mother was Hannah Foss - apparently a sister of Jane. If you're interested in such things, Jane's probable maternal grandparents, William and Jane Berry are ancestors of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Dick Marston, our list owner, has details on his web site at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1638/famouscuz.html Dick only has the line back to William and Jane's grandson Nathaniel Berry. His line is through the Philbricks. But you can find the full Berry line in GDMe&NH under Berry.

The furtherest back my record goes is to Jane FOSS of Greenland,Rockingham Co.,NH,she married about 1682 at Newmarket,Rockingham Co.,NH Samuel NEAL. They had the following children:Samuel, John,Walter,Jeremiah,Thomas,Joshua,Samuel and Joshua(the two Samuel's most likely occured due to the death of a child),all except the second Samuel,who was born in either Rye or Greenland NH,were born at New Market,Rockingham Co.

I believe the NEHGS library has the NH state papers on microfilm, because I looked up a will there last month. For a small fee, they will make copies of their records and send them to you, although maybe you have to be a member.

Dear Rockingham County Group--does anyone have access to the NH State Papers. I have a reference, "32:476-477, Will of Daniel Lucas of Nottingham, 1733, proved July 17, 1734" which I would like to look up. Or alternately, can someone suggest where/whom I should write for a copy of this document? Thanks, Michele

Frank or Franklin Pierce, is shown on MA 1900 census as being born in New Hampshire in 1854. He may have had siblings Robert, Emma, Mary, Sarah and Elizabeth. He removed to Connecticut prior to 1880. Do you recognize this family? Wife's name unknown, parents unknown. Sons Frank C. (1880) and Arthur C (1884) born in Connecticut. There supposedly was a third son by the name of Cleveland. Second wife, Mary (Mae) Lauretta McDermott (aka Graham) of New Haven, CT gave birth to their first child, Dorothy Mae (my grandmother) in Virginia in 1887; another child, Lewis Wesley, was born Norwich, CT in 1893. Thanks in advance for any help, Barbara Hanscom Stuart

I am seeking information on my g-g-grandfather , Matthew Winkler. He emmigrated from Poland in the 1890's with his wife and 2 small children. They settled in Exeter , where he died in 1939. I would like to find out their Polish home . They may have had their name changed to Winkler on arrival in the U.S. I have more info , also Sinclair info if anybody needs it. Any clues or nudges in the right direction much appreciated. Also , a couple of months ago I found a page on the 15th NH Infantry and can't find it now . Anybody know it? Mahalo - Kevin

Paul; I thought I sent this to you back about 10-7-98 Thanks for your reply, Anson. The question on Betsey is for Donna, but I'm sure it could have been a nickname for Elizabeth. You'll satisfy my own query if you can tell me whether there are =any= individuals surnamed STILLINGS or SKILLINGS in your files. Paul B. Phelps, Alexandria VA <pbphelps@cpcug.org> There is a Daniel Thurston on page 345 of Brown's book which he says that he believes belongs to the Daniel Family but he is not able to connect them. It says; #5307 Daniel Thurston was a farmer in Sanford, Me.; married Molly Stillings; he died 1782 Children #5308 + Richard, b in No. Berwick, Me. 1775; m. Lydia Twombly. #5309 Ruke, b 1777; a farmer in Limerick , Me., d 1810; m Susan Smith; no c. #5310 Daniel, b. 1779; a seaman, d. in the Isle of France 1805 or 1807; n.m. 5309 Richard Thurston (Daniel), son of Daniel and Molly (Stillings) Thurston of Sanford Me.; born in North Berwick Me., 1775; married 1799, Lydia Twombly, born in North Berwick, 1774. He was a farmer; soon after marriage went to Shapliegh, Me., built a log house in the woods a mile from any other, cleared a farm, and when the town was devided it left him in Acton. about 1840 he moved into Shapleigh again, and died May, 1848; she died 1850. Then there is a page of children #5311 Lydia, #5312 Polly, # 5313 Ruke, # 5314 Huldah, # 5315 Daniel, #5316 Richard Whitney Nothing on John Thurston b.a. 1736 and Mary Shorey. Nothing on John Thurston b.a. 1754 or Betsey. These people might be related to John Thurston, #61 pg 24, s/o Stephen and Mary, but I would think you should look at any of Daniel's (1) ggrandchildren named Richard If any. According to the 1790 census for Belfast, Me. both Jonathan and Peter Thurston s/o James and Elizabeth (Shaw) Thurston, lived there. If we keep digging, all the Thurston's will be accounted for. I'm taking the liberty to fwd this to one of the senior Thurston's who might be able to shed more light on the missing John's. Anson J. Thurston, Jr.

Rockin' Rooters: Just as a reminder, I would consider it a HUGE personal favor if each of you would remember, whenever you change your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or if you simply change your default email address, please unsubscribe from NHROCKIN first. Later, when your new email address is in place, come back and join us again. What happens when you forget is that all messages posted to the list bounce from your former ISP or email postmaster back to me. I have no way of knowing the reason why mail can't be delivered, because sometimes it's only a temporary problem that you or your ISP solve, and messages start getting delivered again. One of you reading this will know what I mean because you're now reading this at your new email address, and you'll probably recall that you forgot to unsubscribe from the old one. The second problem that occurs much more often is the one where you go away for a week or two only to return to find your mailbox is jammed to capacity. After that capacity is reached, all messages posted to the list get returned by your ISP with a message telling me the problem. It gets to the point where everytime I read a new posting, I'll have 2 to 4 other messages telling me that the one post has not been delivered to one of you. This is happening now, and, of course, the subscriber I'm referring to won't see this message. Please do me and yourseslf a favor before leaving on a long trip for business or pleasure. Please unsubscribe before you go, then rejoin us when you return. I thank you. My ISP thanks you. Your ISP thanks you. Happy hunting out there! :-) -- Dick Marston, Rockingham County, NH, Mail List (NHROCKIN) Owner.

Maryellen: Thank you very much for your dissection of my Ward problem. Laid out that way it becomes clear why Ann is considered to be the sister of Lucy. I guess this is a case of "preponderance of evidence". Boy, I sure love this list. Bill Lander Cleveland, TN.

Does anyone know if the Thomas Weare in the 1790 Census of Hampton Falls, Rockingham, N.H. with 1 male over 16; 1 male under 16 and 2 females is the same man as the Thomas Ware who paid taxes in Franconia for one year in 1794. Was his wife's name Catherine? Is Betsy Weare who was born in Franconia in 1793 his daughter? Any information at all on this man would be greatly appreciated. Brenda

That has been fully documented. Lucy Ward's parents were Francis Ward and Sussanna Brown. Her grandparents were Robert Ward and Alice Pixton. Her great grandparents were Roger Ward and Katherine (Fifty Great Migration Colonists by John Brooks Threlfall). The question always has been, "Is the Ann Wadd who was listed on the passenger list in 1637, and who was traveling with Robert Page and Lucy Ward, the sister of Lucy or someone else. On p. 218 of "Fifty Great Migration Colonists," it states: "Concerning Ann Wadd, aged 15, who accompanied the Pages to New England, there is some evidence that the name Wadd, as published, was correctly Ward, and that Ann was his wife's sister and later the wife of Edward Colcord of Hampton. On 24, June 1673, Robert Page of Hampton conveyed land by a deed in which he called Edward Colcord of Hampton his brother and Colcord's wife Ann his sister. There was no Ann Page for Colcord to have married. Also, Ann Colcord bore ten children between 1641 and 1667, so she must have been born between 1621 and 1625. Ann Wadd (or Ward) was born about 1622. So, Ann and Lucy were probably sisters." Threlfall's book has been touted as being thoroughly researched and highly reliable. I hope this helps with your question. Maryellen Mcanfora@aol.com

My name is KAY MARTEL and have just returned from visiting family in Londonderry, N.H. While there, we spent a couple of days searching cemetaries for my husband's great grandfather GEORGE A BARTLETT. On his death certificate it says he died in 1892 ans buried in North Salem, N.H. We went to Mt. Pleasant Cemetary and the cemetary by the museum in Salem. No luck there. We drove around the Canobie Lake area and other back roads, stopped at a few that are inactive, no luck there. Is there other's in North Salem that we might check that we are not aware of? any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. e-mail address:kaymart@dmv.com

Looking for ancestry of Peter Smith, b. February 16, 1760, NH, m. Hannah Sanborn on Nov. 23, 1783. d. march 1837 when he was washed overboard from the Brig "George Edward". Hannah Sanborn was from Hampton, NH, daughter of John Sanborn(Jeremiah, JOhn, William, William, JOhn)and Lydia Rollins(Jonathan, Moses, Joseph). Would love to find the family of this 4th great grandfather of mine. I have been told that a man named Danny D. Smith of Gardiner Maine is the expert on these Smiths. Does anyone have access to Mr. Smith's publications? Any tips most deeply appreciated. Susan Winters Smith

Folks, I have a question. a couple of months a cousin sent me some Warde material from NEHGR Early Settlers of Hampton, New Hampshire from Ormesby St Margaret, Norfolk, Vol 141, pgs 114-121. (shown below) The interesting thing about this material is that child #8, Anne Warde, is shown to have married Edward Colcord in Hampton about 1640. Is the Edward Colcord mentioned in the article the same as Edward Colcord Sr. of Hampton? The dates would seem to work out ok. He would have been about 25 if m. in 1640. I am also descended from Robert Page who is said to have m. Lucy (Lucia) Warde, the sister of Anne Warde. My only previous sources for them were Dow, which didn't say and GDM&NH which seems to be less than positive in its identification. Now I'm really confused, Do I have a double line of descent from the Warde family or were the wives of Edward Colcord and Robert Page actually surnamed Warde at all? The NEHGR material shown below is the most current research I have. Is there new research which has happened. Does anybody know for sure what the latest findings are on these two "Warde" girls?
