In a 7/11/99 Email Bill Fredrickson asked about Sally Seavey who m. Ephraim Rowe and had child Mary Ann Rowe b.1 Nov 1817. I am sending this to the Seavey OneList, to the Rockingham List and directly to Bill Fredrickson. I hope that Bill or some of the folks on the Lists may have some ideas or leads on the parents of Thomas Seavey or Anne Staples. As usual, the Hall Index doesn't provides some dates, but not places. Although there is no documented Rockingham connection, that was the home for most Seavey's of this era. Today I came across more info on this family in the Hall Index and I had Bill's name and Email address in notes for Sally. The Hall Index Page 110 has the following: Thomas Seavey b.abt 1744 m. Anne Staples (or Steples). Anne d.1821. (Parents for Thomas not given) Children: Eliakim 1761-1845 m1) Lucy Witham; m2) Mary Brown Polly Sally m. Ephraim Rowe Anna (Nancy) m. Simon Knowles Hannah m. John Robinson Beckman Moses I note that the Noyes GDMN has a listing for Staples, but not for Steples. There was one Anne Staples, but no marriage to a Seavey is listed. Parsons' History of Rye has some Staples in the index, but none are married to a Seavey. Tom Sevy Thomas D. Sevy, MSW, LCSW Grantsmanship Consultant 1617 W.
