Hi Wayne - I believe my Nathan Glidden is the same as yours.Mine was alive in 1855 to receive Bounty Land grants for War of 1812 service. A son named Nathan witnessed these documents. Daughter Hannah Chase Glidden married my ggggranfather Lauren Tinker. My Nathan Glidden lived in Unity NH in the 1850s when he rec'd the bounty land grants. Do you have any more details on the Glidden family? Ben Wayne McElreavy wrote: > My wife is a 4th great-grand niece of Nathan Glidden (1773-1857). He was > married to Polly Huntoon.

Looking for info on Lewis that lived in Claremont NH in 1800's Can anyone help me on this. Thanks Sharon

Kathy, I appreciate your offer. I am somewhat familiar with the Ezra Jones and Asa Jones families of Claremont, but I am unable to make any connection with my Jones line. My ancestor was Alfred Jones born Dec 15, 1802 in Claremont. This information comes from a 1907 "History of Dallas County, Iowa" entry by his son Benjamin Franklin Jones. Alfred married Elizabeth Woodell, born July 17, 1814 in England, died Feb 07, 1896 in Dallas Co, IA. Alfred and Elizabeth had six children: Margret Joanna b. Sep. 1834 Claremont d. Dec 5, 1839 Claremont Edward Hatch b. June 1836 Claremont d. Oct 6, 1839 Claremont Mary b, Feb 9, 1838 Claremont d. April 14, 1890 Dallas Co., Ia Edward b. 1840 Claremont d. 1860 Champaign, IL Benjamin F. b. July 1, 1847 Claremont d. 1913 Dallas Co., IA George A. b. 1852 Claremont d. 1933 Dallas Co., IA Alfred and his family moved to Champaign, IL abt 1864. He died in Champaign in 1866. Alfred first appears in the 1830 NH census. In his home were one male between 60 and seventy, one female 10-15, one female 50-60, and one female 60-70. The eldery male is gone during the 1840 census. The two elderly females are probably the ones identified on the 1850 census as Betsy Jones and Hannah Jones. Alfred's two youngest children are buried in the West Part Church Yard. The only Jones male buried there who meets the age range of the 1830 census and is gone in the 1840 census is Benjamin Jones, who is buried very close to Alfred's Children. Benjamin, who died in 1837, is next to his wife Mary, who died April 23, 1805 age 44. This is about as far as I have been able to get. I feel the records at the Union Episcopal Church could be the answer, but I have been unable to find out how to research them. I will be deeply indebted for any help you may be able to provide. Jack

Welcome Janice Farnsworth

My wife is a 4th great-grand niece of Nathan Glidden (1773-1857). He was married to Polly Huntoon. I don't know whether this Nathan had any children. Any chance this is your Nathan Glidden?

Jack, Though I will not work for pay, I may be able to provide a little information for you on the Jones family if you know some details. A couple of years ago I wrote a book on a neighboring town, "The Early Families of Unity, NH" and I put a lot of work into trying to understand the Jones families there, and I tried to distinguish them from other Jones families. I also collected some Claremont materials such as cemetery records. I would be happy to check what I have for you.

Hi, Is there anyone who has access to the 1860 census that can do a look-up for me? I am looking for: Calvin Richardson and his wife Nancy Streeter Richardson. They would probably be living in Swanzey at that time. Calvin died in 1871 and was in Vermont living with his son for the 1870 census and Nancy died in 1866. Thank-you very much for your help. I do not have access to the libraries or FHC at this time to do any research myself. Sue macduff@citrus.infi.net

Only the towns of Hampden Co,Hampshire Co.,and Franklin Co.,MASS. This is sent to 10 "sister" lists blind copies so everyone will not get 10 of the same message.

The histories of the towns are mainly the settlements and names of first settlers, and those who served in early wars up to the Revolutionary War, no later.

Surname: BOULTER Source: Prescott Memorial James Prescott/Mary Boulter Line, Hamton, NH 1655 Prescott Memorial, Part II James Prescott Line p.229 Nathaniel Boulter was born in England in 1625, as appears in an affidavit given by him and John Redman in Nov. 1685 and published in the first volume, pp. 46-7 of the New England Provincial Papers. It appears by said affi- davit that he settled at Hampton, NH as early as 1642 yet by the said Provincial Papers, Ibid., pp. 170, 179, he appears as an inhabitant of Exeter, NH in 1645, his name being fixed to sundry petitions from that town to the Governor and General Court of Boston. In 1647 he married Grace Swain and the had the following issue, to wit: 1. Mary Boulter b. at Exeter, NH May 15, 1648 m. in 1668 James Prescott (subject of Part 2, Prescott Memorial) 2. Temperance Boulter b. prob. at Hampton, NH Jan. 8 1651 3. Nathaniel Boulter, Jr. b. at Hampton, Mar. 4, 1653 m. Mary Drake. He d.

Mary Boulter was the maternal ancestor of the New Hamp- shire branch of the Prescott families and as the name of Boulter became extinct in America upon the death of her brothers, Nathaniel and John Boulter (the end of the 2nd generation of Boutler) it cannot be deemed irreva- lent to give, in this connection the brief notice (above) of the family. See her children by James Prescott below. p.231 James Prescott and his wife Mary Boulter of Hampton and Hampton Falls, New Hampshire had issue: 1. Joshua Prescott b. Mar 1, 1669.

In two parts. By William Prescott, M.D., member of the Massachusetts Medical Soc- iety; member of the American Medical Association, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the New Hampshire Historical Society; honorary memb- er of the American Statistical Association, and of the Minnesota Historical Society; corresponding member of the New England Historic, Genealogical Society; Boston: Printed by Henry W. Dutton & Son. 1870 8 vo. pp xiv and 653. It is an honorable thing for any man to love his kindred to cherish their virtues, and to preserve their names and deeds from oblivion. For upwards of thirty years, Dr. Prescott of Concord, NH has been engaged as a literary avocation, upon the work which he has now successfully brought before the public. The volume contains the names and considerable of the individual history of the descendants of John Prescott who came to Massachusetts in 1640 and of James (Vol.xxiv) Prescott, known to have been a resident of Hampton, NH as early as 1665, all descendants of James of Standish co., Lancaster, ENG, tempo Elizabeth. The Prescott family is a prolific one, and is scattered throughout the United States; yet the compiler has succeeded in bringing together the record of 9,044 members of the family. No one can open these pages without seeing abundant evidence of thorough and patient investigation and great industry on the part of the compiler. But the work is something more than a mere compilation of names and dates. It begins with a resume' of the historyof the Pilgrim movement from England into Holland, and afterward to America; and the rest of the introduction is taken up with chapters on the origin and meaning of names and surnames, in which valuable and to some extent original matter is brought into a brief compass; with a table or vocabulary of roots and a key to the sources of surnames, etc. Another valuable feature of the book is the matter relating to those of the family who have served in the various wars, colonial, provincial and national. Dr. Prescott knows better than most men how essential to any book is a good index, and hence he has not for- gotten that part of his work, and gives us an index of names, alone, covering about fifty pages. This index forms a perfect key to the book. The volume is well arranged and printed in good, clear type and on strong paper and is handsomely bound. It is illustrated with several steel plate engraved por- traits: among which are the portraaits of the doctor, himself; of his son, William C. Prescott; of William H. Prescott, the historian; of Jeremiah Prescott, the well-known and efficient superintendent of the Eastern Railroad; and of Nathan B. Prescott of Jamaica Plain. The family owe Dr. Prescott a debt of gratitude which the mere payment of the subscription price of this book can never discharge. But whether they manifest their gratitude or not, he will have the satisfaction of having crowned his eighty-second year with the conclus- ion of a gigantic undertaking.
