I believe that the Lydia BERRY in question was the daughter of Capt. Jeremiah BERRY and wife Eleanor DOW. Even though sources such as "History of the Town of Rye", by Langdon B. Parsons and "History and Genealogy of Capt. John Locke", by Arthur Locke (which you cited) claim that the Lydia who married William TREFETHEN was a daughter of William and Love (Brackett) BERRY, I think the following reference clarifies the matter: Rockingham Co, NH Probate Records, vol 39 (1809-1811), p155-157. FHL #16202. Will of Jeremiah BERRY, of Rye, yeoman, dated 19 July 1809 & proved at Exeter 23 Sep 1809 Mentions: (among others) "my daughter Lydia TREFETHEN, wife of William TREFETHEN". Her portion included a feather bed & bedding "which was the property of their mother's, decd". "Descendants of William & Jane BERRY of Strawberry Bank", by June Berry. 7 vols, 1992. FHL #2,056,051 [Vol 2: Descendants of James Berry & Eleanor Wallis,p27 & Vol 3: Desc of William BERRY & Judith LOCKE, p105] also supports that this Lydia was actually the daughter of Capt.

Does anybody have Quaker meeting records for Hampton later renamed Seabrook. I am looking for the time period of abt. 1786 (+ -) 1 year. I am searching for the record of birth for William Conner/Connor. William probable son of Benjamin and Mercy (Hanson) Conner/Connor who resided at Kensington. Thanks, Dave _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/

I am very interested in this subject. I am descended from Henry Thrasher and Mary Brown. I don't know if they were Quakers at one time, but since Henry's grandmother was Deborah Southwick, he might well have been. I would love to find out. Here is information I have on Henry: According to History of Cornish, the first of the name known to Cornish descendants was Henry Thrasher, b about 1720, who married Mary Brown. They lived in Hampton Falls nearly thirty years. Henry and Mary Thresher lived on Thresher's Lane. After 1768 this was in Seabrook. In 1776 they moved to Raymond, New Hampshire. The widow Thresher died 26 January 1805, so Henry must have died before this time. According to History of Hampton Falls, Henry Thresher lived on the road leading from the Line meetinghouse to Fogg's corner. This road was called Thresher's Lane.His house was very near where the Abbott house is now located. On the early records this road was called Thresher's Lane. He, and his sons who were minors, polled into Seabrook in 1768. About 1776 he and his family removed to Raymond. At the time that Seabrook was established, it appeared to have been the idea that Hampton Falls would always remain under the parish church system, and be governed by the rules of the Congregational church, and that Seabrook would always be a Presbyterian parish and be governed by the laws of that church. The polling off was a thing in the interest of religious freedom, giving those in either town who held opinions not in accord with the church established there the liberty to pay their taxes in the other town, with whose church government they were in sympathy, and not be compelled to help support preaching they did not believe in. Whether all those who polled from one town to the other were wholly governed by religious motives in their choice we have no means of knowing, but we have some reason to believe that this was not in every case the sole cause. Among the citizens of Hampton Falls who polled into Seabrook were Henry Thresher and minors Jacob, Joseph, and David Thresher. - taken from History of Hampton Falls

This doesn't really prove anything, but there is no record of the birth, marriage, or death of ANYone by that surname in the book, "Vital Statistics of Seabrook, New Hampshire, 1768-1903" [1998, Heritage Books], Jones, William Haslet. Apparently Seabrook was incorporated in 1768 out of the southern part of the Town of Hampton Falls. That may be another place to look. Is there a list somewhere of Quaker Meeting Houses for that region at that time?

I doubt that my folks fit in your time frame; however, similar names and co-incidental places suggest I share my Galvin story: My great-grandmother Katherine Galvin was born in Aglish, County Kerry in February 1861 to Dennis Galvin and Ellen Welch. Dennis was the son of Timothy Galvin and Johanna Flaherty also from Aglish. In 1885 Katherine Galvin married Michael Brosnan in Newmarket, Rockingham County, NH. My grandmother, Mary Brosnan, was born in Newfields (next town over) in 1886. Micheal dies 1886; Kate in 1898 in Lawrence, Mass after a 2nd marriage to Andrew Foley also born Ireland. To my knowledge Kate came to the US around or before 1880 with at least one brother, other children of Dennis and Ellen Welch Galvin followed later. Any connections that you can think of?? Am also trying to document the birth of Patrick A(Augustine, I think) Fitzpatrick, son of Dennis Fitzpatrick and Bridget Egan born Kanturk, County Cork around 1861. Catholic family--Got any research suggestions for County Cork? Thanks.

Hi All I have added another New Hampshire Coffin Plate to my website. This new one is for Belinda Bean who died in 1891 at the age of 77. I found this plate in New Hampshire so I had a hunt for her in the census and found her in Belmont, Belknap, NH in 1870 and Candia, Rockingham, NH in 1880. If you want to see the coffin plate or the census records go to http://www.ancestorsatrest.com/coffin_plates/ Good Luck Brian ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
