TO: Researchers in Rockingham Co. Because of the great number of cousins and other relatives I have found while researching my THURSTON line and BEAN line from Rockingham Co., I am once again requesting information on the lady that married Robert THURSTON abt.1740 and the one that married his son, James THURSTON abt 1770. I also would like to find the surname of Margaret, who married Samuel SHAW abt 1780 in Epping, NH I believe that after finding my 3GGrandparents were Jonathan and Polly THURSTON and that a Helpy THURSTON was married to a Charles Bran in Belfast, Me. in 1818, I have the correct THURSTON line to persue. I have posted my family and some other THURSTON, BEAN, SHAW, HILLIARD, BATCHELDER, BERRY, CRAM, PARTRIDGE, PHILBRICK, WADLEIGH, and ROBERTS lines that I have encountered while searching.
