    2. Scott Bill Hirst
    3. Hi! Gayle Waite redwingsri@cox.net one of the co-authors of the Hopkinton Cemetery book along with Lorraine Arruda has produced a new Charlestown cemetery book. She has informed me the grave of Tobias Saunders that was disturbed by cemetery vandalism and covered in The Providence Journal yesterday http://www.projo.com , was born in 1732 and died in 1809,. Doing a search on the Internet it clearly appears that this Tobias Saunders was the grandson of the original Tobias Saunders whose wife was a Peckham, a number of us in this region are descended from that couple. I am not a direct descendant of the Tobias whose grave was disturbed. However because of the Peckham ancestry of the younger Tobias he is a remote kinsman of FDR. The younger Tobias clearly is the son of Stephen Saunders and Rachel Bliven. Through "Bcc:" sharing with various contacts including media. BTW my third cousin the late Earl P. Crandall who grew up in Charlestown did a Saunders genealogy book, I will need to review on this younger Tobias Saunders. Relatively yours, Scott Scott Bill Hirst 20 Maple Court Ashaway,RI 02804-1300 USA (401)377-4643 Note:Telephone if you need quick reply.
