I will introduce myself to this list with the above connections. Both my husband and I have lines leading back to the Seventh Day Baptists. We descend from 4 MAXSON lines: Bethia MAXSON, b 31 Jul 1693 in RI, (dau of John MAXSON (jr) and Judith CLARK) married about 1715 to Joseph MAXSON (jr) (son of Joseph MAXSON (sr) and Tacy BURDICK. Elisabeth MAXSON, b 07 Nov 1695 in RI, (dau of John MAXSON (jr) and Judith CLARK(e)) married 25 Aug 1715 in RI to Rev. John DAVIS (son of Rev. William DAVIS and Elisabeth BRISLEY). Elisabeth MAXSON, b 1770 in Shrewsbury, NJ, (dau of Zebulon MAXSON (sr) and Experience DAVIS) married about 1788 to Benjamin THARP/THORP. Lydia MAXSON married Stephen MOSHER (I know nothing more about these two). Our descendancy is thru their son Hugh MOSHER, b 1603, who married a Rebecca HARNDEL. DAVIS ... see above. BURDICK ... Tacy BURDICK, dau of Robert BURDICK and Ruth HUBBARD, married Joseph MAXSON (sr) (son of John MAXSON (sr) and Mary MOSHER).
