Thank you for your response. I guess I didn't word my question or request in the right way. I am looking for "proof" that Calvin, Betsey (Elizabeth) and Philetus are in fact the children of Solomon and Lucy Munson. I have the 5 books of The Munson Record which is the history/genealogy of the Munson family starting with Thomas who came to CT from England about 1637. There is a tremendous amount of information in those books, but most of it is hearsay with very little actual proof. In book 1 it states that Solomon married _____ Ball. No date for the marriage but the place was Hanover. Children are listed but not their birth dates. A short paragraph follows with general information provided by a Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Westbrook - I haven't a clue who either woman is. I started this search to "prove" this line because I wanted to apply for membership in the DAR. At this point I am not sure if that is still my goal or not. What I would like to know is where did you originally find the information that Solomon and Lucy married, and that they had a number of children that included Calvin, Betsey and Philetus. I have a copy of a church record showing the marriage of Solomon and Lucy, but have never found anything else. Is there a BALL family bible that lists marriages, births and deaths? So far, I have not found baptism records for the children or any records of their marriages. Calvin was married twice - both times in New Jersey. I am reluctant to pass on information from the Munson Record as I have found several errors. I shared information once before and it showed up on another site as that person's original work and they had changed or corrected the information to hide a child born "early." I'm not against sharing, just passing information that I can't prove is correct. The stuff I know is right, I will share. I look forward to hearing back from you about your sources. Kay Sibert
