This is my first letter to this List. My husband Ted Noble descends from Thomas Noble of Westfield, Ma. His ggggrandparents moved to Vermont. Thomas, Mark, John, Capt. Eli (of Pownal), Robert (of West Berkshire), Sylvester and Nancy Chaplin Noble (of St. Albans), Charles Phelps, Charles Lawrence, Theodore Rugg (Ted) Noble. We have much data on the Noble family and are always happy to share. Research trips to West Berkshire and St. Albans though have provided us with very little information about the families that lived in those areas. We know descendants still live there, because we have found fresh flowers on grave sites in the St. Albans cemetery. We would like so much to hear from anyone related to this family. Sylvester and Nancy Chaplin Noble lived at 61 N. Main (old address), St. Albans, and ran a grain and feed store from January, 1863, until September 18, 1870, when Sylvester died. After Sylvester's death, Nancy ran a boarding house. Their children were: Orcelia Maria who married George William Barnes Marcia Cordelia who married George Edmund Foss Happylonia who married Malcolm Locton Chandler Guy Chaplin who married Jerusha H. Dewey Nancy Miranda who died young. Sylvester Campbell who married Mary Jane Day. Willis Robert who died young. Sarah Eliza who married Augustus C. Stonegrave Charles Phelps who married Celia Emma Lawrence Weston Thank you very much. Freda Noble Gualala Ca Freda and Ted Noble tnoble@mcn.org

To all listmembers I am presently back on the computer and back online. How much is lost I cannot tell as of yet. Luckily my father had a back up of family file, I am however using today to restore favorites and different programs. My largest irreplaceable loss was my address book, as the other items I think I have on a zip in compressed folders but until I have the program installed I will be unable to open them. If you have been corresponding with me personally on a line then please please send me your address. Thanks Debbie

Hi everyone, Is there anyone researching the Hoag family in Franklin. I have reason to believe that they are related to my Charles Hogg (Armington) from Duxbury. There was a Eli Hoag and Joel Hoag from Franklin in the Civil War. Would appreciate any information. Nancy

I am the father of Debbie Jennings, Debbiej_2000, listowner of this list.She is experiencing severe computer difficulties, and might be off line a couple of weeks. Almost all of the lines covered on her various lists are being researched by me, as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or problems, and I will either answer to the best of my ability, or get an answer from her, and forward to you. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Hello List- I'm looking for the HAYES family in Enosburg during the early 1800's and Richford during the early 1860's. My ggg grandfather, Edwin HAYES, was born in or near Enosburg in 1815. I am looking for his parents/siblings. He married Nancy Mary SESSIONS on Nov. 1, 1835 in Essex, VT. Edwin's service records show that he was residing in Richford at the time of his enlistment in 1863. He and his wife, Nancy, are buried in the South Cambridge Cemetery. Does anyone know of this family or where I can find any type of records for Edwin which may give me details about the family? All suggestions welcome! Thanks for your time, Lorie

We should all take a moment to reflect upon what this holiday is all about, other than babeball, cookouts, and family reunions. As a Veteran, I am proud to be an American, and to be able to reflect on the true meaning of the 4th of July. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Hi Debbie: Thank you for the information about the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It was very interesting and made me take notice of what these men gave up for our freedom. I am going to save this and give a copy to my children and grandchildren. It is a sad fact, but our grandchildren do not learn much about our history as a country. Thanks again for taking the time to post this and have a safe 4th of July. Charlene Tobin Rodriguez crodri9794@aol.com

I have several Rev. War soldiers that I descend from. They too made sacrifices. Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't just fight the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted...We shouldn't. So, take a couple of minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.............. ===== Debra Jennings debbiej_2001@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Listmembers: I am having problems of an undetermined nature with my server. For some reason I am being prevented from 'sending' mail to any aol.com addresses although I seem to have no problem receiving it. So for the time being if any of you write to me and have an aol.com address then the answer to you will be on the list as it is the only way I have of getting through to you and I would much rather do that then you to think I am deliberately ignoring you. So since there have been some of you who have written my since Friday when this started and I haven't answered you I am very sorry and will try to get an answer to you.

For those of you who may be interested in this topic: Ancestry.com and Rootsweb has announced yesterday a merger of these two companies. Many persons seem to be concerned about this, but I think in all fairness we should wait and see what, if any changes will occur. I have been assured that the Rootsweb lists and associated items on the internet will remain free access and as they have always been. MyFamily.com is a subsidiary of Ancestry.com and many of you use this or have used it. There has been alot of talk on alot of mailing lists regarding this. If you choose to discuss it, then please do it among yourselves and not on the list. Both companies are promising no changes in the mailing lists so lets not let it take over our list, leave this for research. I am posting this only as a way of keeping you informed, many of you should not even notice a difference. Below is in part what has been sent to the listowners. The is a link at the bottom for any further information.

I hope to learn more about the life of Martin Dewey FOLLETT (1765-1831, son of Eliphalet FOLLETT and Elizabeth DEWEY) and his wife Persis FASSETT, (1769-1849). Martin is said to be buried at East Berkshire, VT. My present knowledge comes only from the book "Follett-Dewey-Fassett-Safford...." written by Harry Parker Ward. I am related through Martin and Persis' son Henry (Harry) FOLLETT and Harry's wife Clarissa POND. I would appreciate information on the location of pertinent gravesites and any hints for obtaining documentary records for the families. Thanks. Barbara in Canada "FollettGen@aol.com"
