Hi list, Yesterday had an e-mail from a desc. of NEHEMIAH SLEEPER, who I have nothing on besides his birthdate in Kingston, NH. I wonder if anyone else has anything on this couple. When I went into the NEHGS today I discovered APPHIA's name is spelled ATLIA MORRILL in Hawke Church records. I also found some children born to NEHEMIAH. I also discovered that Hawke, NH became Danville in 1836. I have not heard back from this individual as to how she descends from this couple, but am very excited to find a spouse for NEHEMIAH. I had found a NEHEMIAH & a MARTHA SLEEPER in 1790 census for Hawke a while back and wondered at the time if this might be NEHEMIAH & his mother MARTHA (WOOD) SLEEPER. He lived next to the MORRILL family. ============================================== (yesterday's e-mail) I descend from Nehemiah Sleeper who married Apphia Morrill. He was a brother to Hezehiah Sleeper, who married Hannah Bachelder. ========================================= (found one website with information) From website: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=khig2&id=I14293 ancestors and cousins Entries: 55521 Updated: 2006-03-05 20:27:30 UTC (Sun) Contact: Karen Higgins ID: I14293 Name: Apphia Morrill Given Name: Apphia Surname: Morrill Sex: F Birth: 22 Jun 1752 Death: Y _UID: D65F4D9AE81C463084E16B3F4E4BF7295EAD Change Date: 5 Mar 2006 at 11:58 Father: Henry Morrill b: 14 Aug 1717 in Stratham, New Hampshire Mother: Susanna Folsom b: 1721 Marriage 1 Nehemiah Sleeper Married: 6 Dec 1770 in Hawke, Rockingham County, New Hampshire Change Date: 5 Mar 2006 ===================================== 1790 United States Federal Census Record Name: Nehemiah Sleeper Township: Hawke County: Rockingham State: New Hampshire MORRILL, HENRY 2-0-1 MORRILL, NATH L 1-1-3 SLEEPER, NEHEMIAH 3-2-5 COLLINS CHASE SLEEPER, MARTHA 1-0-2 ====================================== Notes on HAWKE: Originally a parish of Kingston, it was chartered in 1760 as Hawke, after Admiral Sir Edward Hawke.
