Cousins and Colleagues... I want to thank those individuals who responded to me query re the above-named couple. For those who did not receive all of these messages, the answer to my query is a highly probable "yes:" The Rachel Philbrick who married Ephraim Brown in Havehrill was the daughter of James and Sarah (Unk) Philbrick whose children were born in Hampton, NH. The key reference was to Libby, Noyes and Davis, p. 545 which notes that Sarah (Unk) subsequently married Benjamin Emerson in Haverhill. The Haverhill Philbrick marriages of the appropriate time span were precisely the names of the children of James and Sarah. The reference had a particularly good effect for me, since it permitted some additional linkages that I had not previously made in my database. Thanks. Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William F.
