Hi, I am new to your list and I have a couple of questions. I am not accustomed to having to work with a county that was formed from another so, I need to get the birth and married documents for Calvin RICHARDSON. He was born in Swanzey on 17 July 1790 and married Nancy STREETER on 10 Nov. 1810. Would I be able to write to the town clerk in Sullivan County for those docs. or would I have to write to Chesire County? Second question: Once I know which county clerk or town clerk to write to, whom do I write the check out to? It did not specify on the genweb pages for Vital Stats. Thank-you all very much for you help. Sue macduff@citrus.infi.net

Surname: BELLOWS Source: History of Charlestown, NH - Fort 4 - by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson, pub. 1876 p.284 Peter Bellows was the oldest son of Col. Benjamin Bellows, the founder of Walpole. He was born at Lunenburg, MA Jan 6, l739 and removed to Walpole with his father the year he was l4. At the age of 2l he was apptd constable of the place. He m Mary Chase of Cornish, NH and settled at Charlestown, NH He d. Apr 5, l825. She d. Apr. l8, l830. A relative, Rev. Dr. Bellows of NY in his account of the Bellows family says "A good deal has been said to me of Peter's bravery. It appears he went to Ticonderoga, June 28, l777 just a fortnight before his father's death, as a private in Colonel Walker's company. "At the close of the celebrated Kilburn fight, which ended in the evening, the occupants of Col. Bellow' fort were in a state of great anxiety as to the result, fearing that Kilburn and his family had been killed. The anxiety of Uncle Peter was so great that he determined to ascertain their fate if possible, and for that purpose he left the fort late in the evening and alone, to pass through what was then an unbroken wilderness, and filled, as might be supposed, with Indians. He crept through, using all the caution of a hunter and at length arrived safely at Kilburn's house; and having carefully reconnoitered and ascertained that it was still held by Kilburn, he asked and obtained admittance and was the lst to congratulate him upon his successful defence. "He was distinguished for wit as well as for courage and could furnish very good company to any body disposed to a merry time. I have heard that he was famous for the point and readiness of his repartees which he could even put into very good rhyme at short notice; and among these witticisms was his own epitaph which is described to me as exceedingly funny and smart, but I have not been able to recover it" The Doctor adds to this account. "He was left many highly respectable descendants. p.285 The children of Peter and Mary (Chase) Bellows: 1. Samuel Bellows b. l776 m. Martha ___; he d. April 5,l820. She d. Mar 8, 1843 aged 77.

Charles Watkins. p.286 In the sketch of the Bellows family, by Dr. Bellows, Theodore Bellows is thus described: "At the age of twenty, I find by one of the army rolls that he was a sergeant in Capt. Peter Page's company of militia raised by NH l780 (Colonel Nichol's Regiment) to join the Continental Army for the defence of West Point. He served 3 months and fourteen days. He was l7 yrs old when his father died. Being of a huge frame and lively spirits he was convivial in his habits Misfortunes overtook his property but he had the blessings of a good and constant brother in the squire, General Benjamin Bellows, who never failed to minister to his necessities. He lived the latter part of his life in Charlestown, NH He more than any one of our founders' children emulated his father in size and weight attaining I believe over 300 lbs. He possessed immense strength in his prime. At one instance when a trial was made of the strength of some horses by hitching them in turn to a great iron cannon, and no one of them (horses) could drag it from its position, Uncle Theodore (called "Thod") slipped his head into the collar and alone drew the weight which no horse had been able to stir". Theodore Bellows and wife Abigail had these children: 1. Mary Ellen Bellows b. June l7, l804 2. Abigail R. Bellows b. Dec 24, l806 p. 59 A garrison was sustained at Fort 4 from the time of Ensign Obadiah Sartwell's death. In the summer of l754 Governor Wentworth ordered a detachment of 60 men from the regiment of Colonel Joseph Blanchard of Dunstable for the protection of the frontiers on the Merrimac and Connecticut Rivers. Colonel Blanchard says in a letter dated Dunstable, Aug 29, l754, "The complement destined for Connecticut River marched in company and under the command of Major Bellows." This consisted of 18 men, officers included, of which the following is the MUSTER ROLL Lieut Benjamin Bellows Jesse Richardson James Hewey Henry Hewey Amos Kenney Henry Hill Joseph Richardson James Page John Lovell, Jr. Samuel Parker, Jr. Timothy Beadle John Martin Sameul Stearns James French James Whiting Amos Whiting James Hill (see also Potter's "Military History of New-Hampshire") see other families of Charlestown at: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nh/sullivan/charlestown/history/fami ly">Fort 4 Surnames</A> _____________________________________________________________ Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth
