EBENEZER FLAGG?S RECORDS? To: NHROCKIN@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <CAE-Vu+YSZOtcXwgq7icBBR=5E3tuuHz9MUXnpLn82gi6DvWm0w@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi! I?m wondering if anyone knows if Rev. Ebenezer Flagg?s records have survived and where they might be found. Rev. Flagg was a Congregational Church Minister in Chester, Rockingham County, NH from ca. 1736 onwards. He married my ancestors, DUDLEY GILMAN and MARY HARRIMAN in 1779, and because Mary was a minor at the time, I?m hoping that the record might mention parental consent, as hers are unknown. [although there are guesses on the net?] I understand that Rev. Flagg was also one of the first ministers in the area to accept Marriage Licenses, which might have been the attraction, as my people settled in Belknap County, NH.. Would there have been a copy of a marriage License kept by the State or the County Record Office? Do they survive? I have contacted the Chester Congregational Church and while they do have some records dating back to that time period, they do not have Rev. Flagg?s records of baptisms, marriages or burials. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stephen
