I know this is a long shot but those seem to be all I have left. My gg-grand parents were Melicia CONNELL and John PROCTOR. Recently I learned that John was born and probably died in Reading, MA, but I've been unable to learn anything else about them. Am seeking any info on sibs, anc etc. Here's what I have on their descendants down to my grandparents. I know all these surnames are fairly common in Reading and surrounding areas so am hoping someone connects.
