Hi NH Looking for anyone interested in sharing info on a Hiram AGER, wife Jane AGER, who were living in Claremont NH in 1859, where they sold land to an Israel WELD. Thanks for your time julie

I'm looking for info on William C. FORD, his wife Sarah Ann ORNE, and their children George Albert FORD and Emma FORD. William and Sarah married in Washington, Sullivan Co., NH on July 1, 1840. I don't have birthdates or parentage on William or Sarah. William was supposedly a medical doctor and Sarah supposedly an ordained Methodist preacher (I didn't know they ordained women then?). George was born April 30, 1845 in Hillsboro, Hillsborough Co., NH. Emma was born about 1842. She evidently married a BARRETT b/c she died as Emma BARRETT in NH State Hospital on Jan 25, 1921. (By the way where is this hospital & what type would it be? She was supposedly buried there.) As the story goes, Emma and George were both orphaned at a young age and were being raised by a grandmother, whose surname might have been FORD or MUGFORD. By about 1852, she also had died and Emma & George were "adopted" by a family named CHAPMAN. At that time, they had no children, but did go on later to adopt two more. Thanks for any help.

I am looking for a James LEET who appears on the 1860 census in Sullivan Co NH. His wife's name was Lucy Ann. He sold/deeded a parcel of land in Sullivan Co which included a house known as the SULLIVAN HOUSE in Claremont Village to Mary MAYNARD. Other names mentioned in deed: Joel HAYWARD;Alondo BERRY; COOKE&ALBEE and Charles BINGHAM. Happy to share information on this as well:>) julie

Hi, Can anyone be of help? I do not drive so it is not easy to get around to different places. I am looking for the marriage and birth certificate of an early ancestor. I am willing to compensate for time and documents. They were born and married in Swanzey and I realize that at that time Swanzey was part of Chesire County. I am hoping the records will be at the town clerk's office. If you can be of any assistance, please contact me at my e-mail. I need the documents for DAR applications. Thank-you all very much.

I would like to be in contact with cousins who are searching the same NOEL family as mine. Two brothers, PAUL and AUGUSTIN NOEL came from Quebec to the USA around the late 1840's. Exactly where in Quebec, it is still uncertain. Possibly the Richleau Valley area, or in the area of a St. Charles, or Notre Dame DeStanbridge. I've been unable to locate their baptismal records. The only possible clue to their prior activity before arriving to Massachusetts, is that PAUL NOEL'S wife, MARY PLANT was born in 1828 in GRANVILLE, NY which is near the Vermont border. PAUL and AUGUSTIN could have been in that area prior to arriving in Massachusetts. Most of their children's vital records say parents were born in Canada. >From the marriage records of PAUL and AUGUSTIN NOEL, it is recorded that their parents (from Canada) were JOHN or PAUL NOEL and ADELINE.

Carol: I am forwarding your email to my Conn River Valley list and the other "sister lists" so others can see your Smith who was excuted for witchcraft.......maybe there is another person on one of the lists that share your Smith name. Cynthia Listmanager Ct-River-Valley-L@rootsweb.com Carol Houghton wrote: Hello List My 8th Grandfather was Phillip Smith of Hadley and the following is a exerpt that I have in my files of his death "by witchcraft". Philip SMITH - b. Apr. 30, 1632; bap. Nov. 1632, Hadleigh, Suffolk, England; d. Jan. 10, 1684/5, Hadley, MA, being "murdered with a hideous witchcraft," in the words of Cotton Mather. Son of Samuel SMITH and Elizabeth SMITH. Married about 1657, Wethersfield, CT. The following extracts provide the story of the death of Philip SMITH. >From The Magnalia Christi Americana, by Cotton Mather - 1702. Mr. Philip Smith, aged about 50 years, a son of eminently virtuous parents, a deacon of a church in Hadley, a member of the General Court, a justice in the County Court, a selectman for the affairs of the town, a Lieutenant of the troop, and which crowns all, a man for devotion, sanctity, gravity, and all that was honest, exceeding exemplary. Such a man was in the winter of the year 1684, murdered with an hideous witchcraft, that filled all those parts of New England, with astonishment. He was, by his office concerned about relieving the indigences of a wretched woman in the town; who being > dissatisfied at some of his just cares about her, expressed herself unto him > in such a manner, that he declared himself thenceforth apprehensive of > receiving mischief at her hands. Early in January, he began to be very > valetudinarious. He shewed such weanedness from the weariness of the world, > etc....

Gally pots of medicine provided for the sick man were > unaccountably emptied: audible scratchings were made about the bed, when his > hands and feet lay wholly still, and were held by others.

After the opinion of all had pronounced him dead, his > countenance continued as lively as if he had been alive; his eyes closed as > in a slumber, and his nether jaw not falling down. Thus he remained from > Saturday morning about sunrise, till Sabbathday in the aftenoon.

Connecticut River Valley List: (and sister lists) How many of you know that there was a witchcraft frenzy in Springfield,Hampden County,Mass in 1650/1.......40 years before the Salem witchcraft trials ? "Ironically 2 women of the same name: Mary Parsons was involved. One was Mary Lewis who married a Hugh Parsons The other, Mary Bliss who married Joseph Parsons Mary(Lewis) was tried in 1651. She was a Catholic who had been separated from a previous husband for 7 years and got permission to remarry, and the 2nd husband was Hugh Parson who owned a sawmill and was a brick mason. Mary and Hugh had 2 children who died in infancy. It's suspected that the 2nd death drove Mary out of her mind. She accused Hugh of witchcraft and murder. Hugh was also accused by another woman in town who was convienced that Hugh put a spell on her. Mary later broke downand confessed to consorting with Satan and to killing her own baby, and was sent to Boston for trial. At the time,according to Picard, a historian at the Storrowton Village in West Springfield, there had been several stories of mothers in Connecticut smothering their babies and the courts took a hard line on them. Mary Lewis Parsons was condemned to death, not for witchcraft but for infanticide. When the jailers came to take Mary to the scaffold, she was so ill she couldnt move, they came back the next day and she was dead ( doesnt say how). In the meantime, Mary's husband Hugh had been in jail for a year and the jury convicted him of witchcraft but the court in Boston acquitted him in 1652. The other Mary(Bliss)and her husband Joseph Parsons, lived in the area what is now Longmeadow. This Mary apparently was high handed and haughty. Her speech was "forcible and she had domineering ways". When they lived in Springfield, Mary had walked around at night, and exhibiting other odd behavior. She would fall down, dead in her tracks and wake up failing around and not know where she was. (today she probably would be diagnosed as epilepsy or sleep walking but in those days..) Mary and Joseph moved to Northampton in 1656 and lived to regret it. Stories began to circulate about Mary from a visitor from Springfield. Before long, Mary was tried for witchcraft. after her acquittal, Joseph sued for slander the woman most responsible for spreading the rumors about his wife.....that woman was SARAH BRIDGEMAN, who was arrested, fined 10 pounds, and ordered to retract her statments. But the bitterness continued to simmer between the Parsons and Bridgeman families, flared up again in 1672 when Sarah's daughter died after only 2 years of marriage...Sarah had been dead for 2 years by then but the bereaved bridegroom seized the chance to accuse Mary(Bliss)Parsons of witchcraft for a second time. Mary was in Boston prison for 3 years before she was brought to trial, she spoke on her own behalf and was acquitted. By the time Salem was swept up in the witchcraft horror of 1692, Springfield had grown out of the witch scare. The 2 Marys are buried in the old cemetery in Hadley , lie near the judge who acquitted them. Mary "Molly" Webster , of Hadley, whose sour disposition was probably aggravated by the poverty that had befallen her and her husband. She was accused in 1683. in 1685, a gang of boys in the community decided to take matters in their own hands. They dragged Webster out of her house in winter, hanged her until she was nearly dead, rolled her around in the snow, buried her in it and left her for dead. Incredibly, Molly Webster survived and lived another 11 years...maybe out of sheer crankiness." There is much more but due to copyright laws, I just took sections of the story . If anyone wants to read the about it, the sources are listed below. Many early settlers of Springfield are in the books.
