continued from part 1. " 'In descending the lock is filled and the boat glides in on the level, and the upper gates are closed, and the water drawn from the lower gates until the water is depressed to the level below. This operation occupied, in passing up, about four minutes, and in descending about three minutes. The average height of the lock is about ten feet. There were men hired for lock tenders, whose duty was, for boats ascending, to see the lower gates opened, and after the boat glided into the lock, to close the lower gates, and draw the water from the upper level until the lock was full, and then open the upper gates and let the boat pass out upon the level; and when the boats were descending, locks were to be filled and upper gates opened so that the boat would glide in. On the 4th of July the 'Lady Carrington' carried excursion parties to Scott's Pond, six miles, amid great rejoicings.' The paper then added the following amusing incident: 'A Mr. Arnold, who keeps a store opposite Smith Street, in company with a Mr. Olney, was sitting on a box or railing of the Boat 'Lady Carrington' and was very earnest telling a story when the Boat struck the bank of the canal, and overboard he went. After pulling him in all wet through, he sat down and said, 'as I was saying' and went on with his story as though nothing had happened.' If you had been a resident of Providence in early 1800's, all the foregoing would have been perfectly familiar to you, for you probably would have been one of the citizens on the 'Lady Carrington' or, as least, one of the spectators on the bank or some housetop. The completion and opening of the Blackstone Canal in 1828 was a great event in Providence history and one that deserved acclaim. The year itself was doubly significant to the business interests of the town, for, before it was out, the Arcade, a pioneer building in the present business section of the city, had been finished. Yet the canal served only for twenty years and then was abandoned, while the Arcade still prospers, though encircled by modern business edifices. How easily the situation might have been reversed is a story that evolves out of the story of the canal itself." continued in part 3.

continued from part 3. "Excavation of the canal was begun in 1824 in Rhode Island, and two years later in Massachusetts at the Thomas Street end. This gave a lot of employment to Rhode Islanders and stimulated Providence business to a very considerable extent. About 500 men from Providence were engaged in the work at one time, and North Water Street (later called Canal Street) was transformed into a busy business center. New warehouses were built along it with wharves facing on the canal. And general business throughout the city increased proportionately. There were forty-nine locks in all between Worcester and Providence, all of them heavily constructed out of granite at a cost of $4000 each. As for the canal itself, it was 32 feet wide at the top with sloping banks that made it only 18 feet wide at the bottom. Water was kept at a depth of 3 1/2 feet. But the canal was actually only dug nine-tenths of the way between the two towns. For the rest the engineers depended upon slack water navigation, making use of the ponds along the way. They did not figure on such things as drought in the summer and ice in the winter, and consequently the loaded canal boats frequently became stranded for days and weeks at a time for lack of navigable water. This was of course ruinous, both to the canal company operating the boats and to the merchants who used them for shipping goods. As a matter of fact the Blackstone Canal was always of more value to the public than to its stockholders. The latter received only decreasing dividends from the start of the project, but the former had the advantages resulting from the reservoirs which had been built along the route to hold back spring flood water in the ponds. More water flowed in the Blackstone River and there was enough increased hydraulic power to encourage the building of many manufacturing plants along the canal." continued in part 5.

from the Providence Institution for Savings "The Old Stone Bank" History of Rhode Island, Vol. III by John Williams Haley, "The Rhode Island Historian" published by Providence Institution for Savings, 1939. pp. 194 - 196: "THE BLACKSTONE CANAL. On the morning of July 1, 1828, the pages of the 'Rhode Island American', a local newspaper, carried the following story: 'At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the 'Lady Carrington' started from the first lock above the tide water (opposite the jail), on Canal Street. A salute of artillery announced her departure, seconded by the cheers of those on board, and the shouts of hundreds of spectators who crowded the banks and surrounding eminences to witness this novel spectacle. The boat is of the largest size that can be admitted into the locks, being about seventy feet long, nineteen and a half wide, and as high as will admit of a safe passage under the bridges crossing the canal. She is covered on the top, having below a cabin nearly the whole extent of the boat, conveniently and neatly arranged. Her draft, when filled with passengers, does not exceed eight or nine inches. Among the passengers were His Excellency the Governor, two of the Rhode Island Canal Commissioners, and about fifty citizens. The boat was drawn up the Canal by a tow-line attached to two horses that travelled with rapidity on the straight levels (of which there are some very beautiful ones before you come to the Blackstone River). She might be conveyed with ease at the rate of four or five miles per hour. 'Between the water and the Albion Factory, nine granite locks, of the most substantial masonry, were passed. Just before entering Scott's Pond, a beautiful basin of deep water, there are three continuous locks, by which you ascend an elevation of twenty-four feet. The novelty of ascending and descending from the different levels was particularly gratifying to those who had never before witnessed the operation. The boat glides into a solid iron box (so to speak) in which she is enclosed by the shutting of the folding gates. The water is then admitted through wickets in the upper gates, and the boat is rapidly raised to the level she is to ascend; the upper gates are then opened and she passes on." continued in part 2.

+PRINT THIS OUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE & TO PASS TO OTHERS+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ County Courthouses in most states are the main source for obtain- ing Vital Records & info pertinent to genealogists. But as many of us are researching in areas far distant from our place of residence; contacting Courthouses in those areas oft presents a problem. In this respect I have the County Courthouse Book; 2nd Ed. by Eliza- beth Petty Bentley which covers 3,125 Courthouses in all 50 States as well as the American Protectorates of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico & US Virgin Islands. Should any listers have need for the address, phone number, & services offered by any of these various Courthouses you may contact me by E-mail as follows, & I will be pleased to share whatever info is available as a genealogist to genealogist service. I adhere to the code of: "GENEALOGY...PEO- PLE HELPING OTHER PEOPLE." *NOTE* I will always assume that genealogists are looking for Vital Records, so I will list only the con- tacts for them. However, if you wish the contacts for Land, Nat- uralization, &/or Probate Records please advise me accordingly in your request. Thank You! In addition to the Courthouse lookups; Now with the addition of the Genealogist's Address Book also by Elizabeth Petty Bentley, I am now able to offer info on the addresses, etc of National Archives, Govt Depts & Agencies, Vital Records Offices, Research Libraries, Historical & Genealogical Societies & Independent Publications. Also I can offer info in all of the above categories on a State & American Trust Territories level. Also info on some of the major Ethnic & Re- ligious Organizations & Research Centers, Lineage, Hereditary, & Patrotic Societies, & other miscellany relating to genealogy. Please realize that not every entity will be listed, & I may not be able to fulfill every request...But give me a try & I'll do my best to help you. I ask only that you be SPECIFIC in stating what info you are looking for. My address & instructions for requesting follow at the end of this message. Please keep your reguests to the minimum as to wording, & do NOT include extraneous info such as your findings, etc, as I will not be doing the researching--This will be YOUR task thru the info I 'may be able' to provide you.

Beth - I didn't notice your first message - but there is a Natick in RI. It's a mill village in Warwick - Kent County The AFGS in Woonsocket has many published church records for the french churches in RI. The one in Natick is St. Joseph. They have published the Marriages of St Joseph's Church (1875-1989), but I don't see the births. Holyoke is another mill town. It's in Hampden County, MA There is a list for hampden county at rootsweb.com Families moved from town to town in search better work opportunities. It's possible that some part of the family was in Holyoke before or after Natick. Maybe they started moving west from RI, and were in Holyoke for a while before they made their way to Michigan? Holyoke also had a large french canadian population. Rhode Island's adoption records are sealed, so when you write to any authorities for records, don't mention the adoption or you won't get too far. I don't think the records were always sealed, so there is hope you can find her original birth record. You could send to the RI state archives - the information is below - They only charge 15 cents, or 2.00 for a certified copy. The massachusetts archives that Donna mentioned only charges $3.00 for a record, so these are 2 good resources to use. Lisa Kenneth S.

Donna, thank you, I will look into these. I know so far all the records I have found on her, census, death, children etc. state that she was born in Rhode Island. But as I mentioned my gr-aunt (she's 87 now) for some reason remembers Holyoke, MA. It is something to check on though.

Hi there everyone, I have just signed up for the Rhode Island list. I hope that I might be able to find out some things about my gr-grandmother. she was supposed have been born in Rhode Island. On her son's birth record it states Natick, learning through some looking I have found there is no Natick so has been quite a search. I anyone has any direction for me in what to do it would be wonderful. I live in Michigan and won't be traveling out that way to do my own looking, hopefully someday I will be able too. She was supposedly adopted by the parents that raised, but I have ideas that maybe her adoptive father was her birth father too? no proof though. Name was Rose Marie Bushman (adoptive name) or Plouf (family says Plouf was her birthname) b.Aug. 30, 1887 Natick, Rhode Island d. April 4, 1921 Ludington, Mason Co., Michigan Parents that raised her were: Azarie/Alarie Bushman (Bueachiman) b. Aug. 1854 Canada d. Jun 1, 1912 Ludington, Mason Co., Michigan m.Jul 24, 1876 Quebec, Canada to Olive Plouf b. jan. 31, 1853 Quebec, Canada d. April 11, 1914 Ludington, Mason Co., Michigan Rose Marie was married to an Unknown Lussier sometime between 1900 and 1910. They had a daughter named Armelia. A great aunt of mine thinks Holyoke, Massachusetts is familiar to her? Also, Rose's parent Azarie & Olive immigrated from Canada in 1890 from the 1900 Census. Armelia Rosalie Lussier b. abt. 1907 Rhode Island Rose is in Michigan in 1900 Census and also the 1910 Census. In 1900 she is a Bushman, in the 1910 she is a Lucier and her daughter Armelia is here too. She was remarried to a Charles William Peterson in Ludington, Mason Co., Michigan and when Rose died in 1921 Armelia was sent back "out east" to live with family out there? Anything that might be of help to direct me would be wonderful... Thanks so much, Beth

Here is one possibility. If Cornell Littlefield's father was Solomon C. Littlefield b. 9 May 1761 and his mother was Deliverance Clark then his grandmother was Deliverance Cornell b. 3 July 1746. Dave in Sand Key, Florida From: Leftyford@aol.com "I need some help here. I am looking for a family connection between Cornell Littlefield b 1782 p Block Island. and my g grandfather William Littlefield b 3-17-1828 p New Port. William named his first born son Cornell which was common to name a son after a father or relative. Cornell was a slave trader and wealthy, so was William from the beginniing of his adult life in Ohio where he eventually died. He married Rachle McRobert 1851 in Michigan."
