    3. In doing queries on the name Sheffield from this mailing list, I came a Joshua Sheffield, born Dec. 1, 1777 listed in an email posting from a Beth Hurd dated June 13, 2003. The posting was apparently an excerpt from "The Narragensett Historical Register, volume VII. January 1889 No.1 James N. Arnold, Ed. pp. 193-195 (births and deaths)" Anybody know how I might get more information on this resource? This might be my guy... the dates match.... Steve Lokers <stevenclokers@yahoo.com> wrote: Help! I've hit a stumbling block in my genealogy. I'm looking for a Joshua Sheffield from RI. He would have been born between 1770-1780. He married Susan Hoxsie and had a son by the name of Henry Hoxsie Sheffield born around 1798. My genealogy ends with Henry. I've been told his father's name was Joshua and his mother's maiden name was Hoxsie, hence the middle name, and that both his mother and father were from RI, but I have been unable to prove anything up to this point. Any information that you may be able to provide on any of these three names would be greatly appreciated. stevenclokers@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Yahoo! Autos.

    1. Briggs
    2. Jane
    3. For Frank: If someone could get a look at the 1865 RI State Census it would say which town Gorton Briggs was born in, Celinda too, which would narrow things down. I worked on a Briggs family from NK and EG a few months ago for someone, and found my answers by going to the EG town hall and digging through land records and probate administrations. One of the women in that family, Lavina Briggs b. 1793, dau. of William, married Oliver Gorton. It's possible that someone in her family named a son Gorton Briggs after that. That kind of naming was done all the time to honor a new member of the family, I guess, but there were so many Gortons in the area that you can't bet on it being the answer. Lavina's brothers were all too young to be father of your Gorton: David S., Robert D., Isaac, William, and one whose name we haven't yet found who left children but no Gorton. They were more his contemporaries. I don't know -- but you may have to do some serious digging in town records. There were so many different Briggs families in RI that until you know the town of birth it's nearly hopeless. There is some good Briggs material at RI Historical Society, on one East Greenwich family in particular. But basic here: Can anybody help with the 1865 census? It's at RI Historical Society (indexed) and on LDS microfilm. Jane

    2. Frank: The info came from Ancestry. It is all in the search technigue. Under search enter the name Briggs only and the state of RI. Up will come all Briggs' in RI, A list ing of Births, Deaths, Marriages etc. will include all Briggs' found. Then scroll through the listings one by one looking for your names. I haven't checked the census which could be used to confirm the names of the family memebers after 1950. You need to be patient and realize spelling may be off. The cemetrey records are found in the NEHGS website database. There are also RI Cem. records collections out there. All give clues to locations of the family. In later years the Directories of RI may find where they lived. Steve

    2. Frank: I assume she is based on the age at death. The way she is listed as first kin line Gorton further seems to solidify that connection. Using the death date I would try to find an obituary for her or death certificate . She is listed as widow of Gorton. No other celinda's found. I don't know the source of your info. it could be a spellong error. Selinah sounds like Celinda.
