To New haven listers, this is good info for those researching some ancient families in New Haven ----- Original Message ----- From: svonhitrit To: dnsfarms Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 9:49 AM Subject: Re: Blakeslee Yes, hello cousin Duane! I didn't have any info on Susanna, so this helps a lot. Any idea where Ebenezer Blakeslee and Martha Beach are buried? I am a desc of Susanna's younger brother, Enoch Blakeslee, b. March 18, 1769, who married Sarah Denton. Enoch was Colonel of the Greene Co. militia. since Susanna is a collateral ancestor, I don't really need any desc info, but I really appreciate the offer. What you wrote below is great! When you look at the attached, you can see that Susanna's ancestor #23 is a Doolittle. So her first husband Benajah Hall Doolittle was a half cousin. Benajah's ancestry is Ebenezer Doolittle and Lucy Hall Ebenezer Doolittle and Lydia Warner Ebenezer Doolittle and Hannah Hall Abraham Doolittle and Abigail Moss (2nd wife) Susanna's: Ebenezer Blakeslee and Martha Beach Ebenezer Blakeslee and Jemima Tuttle William Tuttle and Mary Doolittle Abernathy William Abernathy and Sarah Doolittle Abraham Doolittle and Joan Allen (1st wife) Take care, Steve von Hitritz ----- Original Message ----- From: dnsfarms To: "svonhitrit" ( Blakeslees of Windham " ?
