Sorry - I realized I didn't answer your question.... I don't have the vital records CD, but I can access the data they have posted at ancestry.com One of my complaints about the online version is that although it contains several different sets of data from a few different towns, it doesn't tell you where the event occured. Based on what you found at familysearch.org, I still think they are book & page numbers - with no way to tell from the CD where it is.

Hi Ann - I can't say for sure, but they look like book & page numbers to me. The OS could be *original source* ? If the marriage took place in West Warwick, Kent, RI then I would take those numbers to mean Volume 17, Page 29 and Volume 9, Page 147 of the official record books of Warwick The marriage could be one of those, and the other might contain a reference to the marriage in another record, like a birth or death record of another family member. When you are at that record on the familysearch.org page, if you click on the film #, it will bring up the name of the source of the data. this one is Births, marriages, deaths 1649-1883 Warwick (Rhode Island). Town Clerk so it looks like this is a film/fiche of the vitals for Warwick that were filmed by the LDS.

Lisa... I have the Ancestry CD, and use both the Ancestry online version and use to use the CD, which I now cannot get to work on my computer. GGrrrrr. Ann will have to answer that questions about whether the Conly-Keely marriage is on her CD. I read the originial note a couple of times, and finally concluded (perhaps wrongly) that the marriage she found was only on the LDS I.G.I. and not on the CD.... For sure, Vol. 9 and 17 don't relate to the year 1855.

I got so excited at being sent in another somewhat positive direction that I couldn't wait to dive in! I have searched Castle Gardens records and Ellis Island,with no results. From a cousin I have found that he had relatives in Rhode Island and that they actually came to visit him in later years, who or what kind of relative I don't know. They where not his parants but perhaps could be siblings. He arrived here somewhere around the turn of the century because the census states he was naturalized in 1910. He lived in Skiathos Greece, I don't know the ship nor dates it sailed. He married my grandmother in Bridgeton, NJ in 1906 they moved to Phil, Pa then to Mass. and then back here to Swedesboro, NJ where he raised a family and passed away in 1955. I do know that he returned to Greece sometime around 1915 to 1920 with two or three of his children to visit his familly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Perry

I have my grandfathers, Stephen F. Brayton Jr., birth certificate from Fall River, MA. That lists his mother as Mary T. Peckham, b. in Fall River. However I have other data listing her as as being born in RI. The area around Fall River, Dartmouth, and Westport have changed between MA & RI, this may be part of the confusion. What you found in the 1880 census must be correct. It all fits the birth certificate except for her middle initial. I have 12 children listed for Stephen and Mary but the 1880 census should only list 5, in that 4 died before 1880 and 3 were born after 1880. I also have Caroline (Fish) Peckham listed as her mother but no father. That has not been authenticated. The only thing I have is Mary Thomas Peckham, b. Sept. 25, 1844, d. Jan 25, 1893, m. April 17, 1862 Stephen F. Brayton. You said her parents were b. RI, Who are they, and where in RI. If you have dates and pedigree that would be great.

continued from part 2. "In the meantime, the Boston Colony had been invaded by Quakers and the place was fairly seething with fury against them. And yet, according to facts pertaining to that tempestuous period, the people of Boston were not so opposed to the Quakers as were the magistrates and the clergymen who saw in these newcomers a threat to the existing civil and religious dictatorship. Here again crops up that paradox of men leaving one country to seek religious freedom elsewhere, but in the land of their adoption the freedom seekers become even more despotic than those from which escape had been effected. Note also in such cases that political power, gained and maintained through religious domination, is invariably behind the measures taken by men to persecute others in the name of religion. In Boston the Quakers were persecuted simply because the individuals then in power did not want to lose that power; what the Quakers believed about the worship of God was a secondary matter. So great was the hatred for the simple, truth-seeking Quakers that a law was passed which imposed a fine upon any sea captain who brought them into Boston. Under this law Quakers who did come into the Colony were to be thrown into prison, whipped, and placed on hard labor. As fate would have it, among the first Quakers to arrive after the passage of such brutal laws were Ann Burden and Mary Dyer. Both were immediately thrown into prison and Mary Dyer was not released until her husband arrived from Rhode Island to demand her release. The next arrivals experienced a much more painful fate. They were whipped, imprisoned, fined and finally banished. One woman, Margaret Brewster, was stripped to the waist and dragged through the streets of Boston tied to a cart, with a flogging later for good measure. Stories of such inhuman practices in ancient times cause the reader of history to wince, but think that the foregoing evidence of man's inhumanity to man took place in staid old Boston less than three hundred years ago. Besides, laws were enacted by which Quakers could be punished by cutting off their ears or boring a hole through their tongues with a red-hot iron. A final decree, however, stated that any Quaker who returned to the Boston Colony after once having been banished could suffer the death penalty." continued in part 4.

Hello and Happy Easter- I am a BRAYMAN BRAMAN enthusiast, still trying to solve the mysterious bunch in EXETER around 1800----the widow of my EBENEZER BRAMAN later lived in Smithfield with a HAZARD BRAMAN and his wife SARAH. I am trying to connect the Hazards to the Bramans, and I think that Hazard Braman and EBENEZER Braman were perhaps brothers. *****Are there any ***HAZARD researchers** out there *** who might have input for the family group sheets I am trying to work on? I plan a trip to SOUTH KINGSTOWN town hall in May, where it seems there should be plenty of Hazard clues. If anyone needs something looked up for themselves in SK, please let me know!!!!!!!! Thanks, Jude in CT
