Dear MARY ELLEN MOULTON, Thank you very much for sending this listing. I am sure I sent this listing to the list a couple of years ago. I really should have stated in my post that I have the SLEEPER listing from Kingston. I have the HERITAGE BOOKS ARCHIVES CD New Hampshire Volume 1 which covers Kingston. What my research is all about is finding the proof that NEHEMIAH SLEEPER, son of HEZEKIAH SLEEPER, SR., & MARTHA WOOD is the same one that married APPHIA MORRILL. I think all evidence points to this being the case. I have a listing for NEHEMIAH SLEEPER & APPHIA MORRILL from the Danville book. This listing is problematic because the dates do not agree with the vital records I found on NEHGS for Hawke. Including both items below: ================================ (I am wondering if this book has more SLEEPER's listed for Hawke) DANVILLE NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS 1760-1992 by Gus Collins Heritage Books, Inc. Pages 162 & 163 SLEEPER Nehemiah SLEEPER Sr. married Apphia MORRILL 6 Dec 1770 Children: Henry SLEEPER b. 10 Oct 1773, m. 25 Sep 1794, Kingston, Kezia BEAN. Jonas SLEEPER b. 7 Jan 1785 Jos. SLEEPER b. 9 Apr 1776, d. 13 Nov 1778 Susanna b 17 Aug 1771, d. 7 Jun 1776, age 5 Lois SLEEPER b. 17 Aug 1782 Nehemiah SLEEPER jr. b 4 Jul 1787 ============================================= NEHGS: The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1847-1996 122.)

Church Records of Hawke, NH 47 A record of births: 1788 - May 25 NEHEMIAH, son of NEHEMIAH SLEEPER ======================================== Again, my thanks you were so very nice to take the time to send me that listing. I really think from census research (There were both NEHEMIAH SLEEPER and a few doors down (most likely his mother) MARTHA SLEEPER in 1790 census for Hawke) Hawke was considered a part of Kingston in this era and there is really no other NEHEMIAH SLEEPER of the right age and area, so I am going ahead and entering this line in my FTM and WORLDCONNECT website. ==================== Hi, Did you get an answer to your query? A book that would be very helpful to you is"Kingston, NH, Early Families, Patriots & Soldiers" by Kathleen E. Hosier, pub 1993 Heritage Books, Inc. It is one of the best books I have seen with documentation and very complete. It gives your Nehemiah Sleeper (pg 173) as the son of Hezekiah Sleeper & Martha Wood: Hezekiah Sleeper, b. Kingston 17 Jan 1724/5, son of Joseph & Sarah (Hitchins) Sleeper, md Kingston 7 May 1747 Martha Wood. Children born in Kingston: 1) Nehemiah, 24 Jan 1747/8 2) Joseph, b. 29 Dec 1750 3) Jonas, b. 11 Feb 1754 4) Luse, b. 3 May 1757, d. 4 May 1759 5) Luse, b. 29 Dec 1759 6) Hezekiah, b. Oct 1762, d. Oct 1762 7) Lois, b. 27 Aug 1763 8) Martha, b. 26 Mar 1766 9) Hezekiah, 7 May 1770 Apphia Morrill is the dau of Henry Morrill & Susanna Folsom.... I'd be happy to send you photocopies of the Sleeper, Morrill, and any other pertinent pages from this book, just email me your mailing address off-list.
