Seeking information on the Joseph H. Taplin family. In 1850 they were living in Corinth. Especially would like to know the maiden name of Joseph's wife Julia A.

Am seeking for information on my gggg grandparents James Brown and Emeline (Slafter) Brown. They supposedly lived in Corinth during the period between 1820 to 1830.

Seeking information on Warner O. Brown who was 39 in 1880 and would have resided in Corinth.

I would really like to have the information on Julia Ann Taplin. Her father Walter Brown was my ggg grandfather James Brown's younger brother.

Need help, could somebody assist me in giving me the names of the cemeteries and addresses located in Corinth, Orange County, Vermont. Richard Van Wagenen

Hi, Thanks for the offer. Don't make a special trip, but if you're there and have the time, I would be interested in knowing where he might have come from or gone to if he left Londonderry. John Mitchel/Mitchell has been my brick wall for over 3 years.

There is info about him at the library. We also have a house called the Morrison house, that is open for viewing. You will want to also go to Windham, NH which in next door (originally part of Londonderry "Nutfield"). There is a few pages about the family in the History of Londonderry, It seems that one of his descendants, Leonard A. Morrison wrote "The History of the Morison or Morrison Family", published in 1880 and several other books.

Hi Deb, In your response to another list member, you mentioned a John Mitchell who was one of the original settlers of Londonderry. Was that VT or NH? Is there any other information about him, i.e., where he came from, if the family removed to another state, the dates of the settlement, his age and/or family at the time? I have been stuck on John Mitchel/Mitchell for over 3 years. Mine, my gggg-grandfather, and his descendants lived in the Colchester/East Haddam/Lyme/Old Lyme, CT areas; but I have not been able to find where he came from. They eventually married into the Morrises who came from VT (most probably Randolph, Orange) and I wonder if that could have been the connection. Thanks for any help.

Deb: Thanks so much for agreeing to search the Alexander information for me. I look forward to receiving it. Dorothy

I went to the library today and checked out the History of Londonderry. There really was not a lot of help in it. Some info on the McKean's. I will have to go and do some research at the library itself, they have a genealogy room, but you have to do the research there, and can not check books out. I was also mistaken about the marker on the end of my road, it was Anderson. Randall Alexander was one of the original 16 settlers of Londonderry, here is the list of the original settlers: Randal Alexander James McKeen Allen Anderson John Mitchell James Anderson John Morrison Samuel Allison James Nesmith John Barnett Thomas Steele James Clark James Sterrett Archibald Clendenin John Stuart James Gregg Robert Weir Have a Good Day - Deb (Case) Donovan New Hampshire New England Research: (NH - VT - CT - MA - NY) Surnames: CASE, SHELDON, ROBERTS, ALEXANDER, WADE, LOVEJOY, SLATE, ARCHER Canadian Research: IVON, FORTIN, DUBE, CAOUETTE, CLOUTIER, TOUPIN, BOUCHER Check out: <A HREF="http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Debra-M-Donovan/index.html#ed it">MY HOME PAGE</A>

Deb - I'd like to ask if you know of any published histories about Randall ALEXANDER's descendants. He was one of the original settlers of Londonderry back in 1719 or so. I'm 95% sure my husband is descended via Anda Alonzo <Joshua <Hugh <Robert <Randall but am having difficulty verifying Joshua's marriage to Polly SESSIONS and all their children. There are bunches of submitters on the IGI that indicate this marriage, but I can't locate anything about their family group and though I wrote to all the submitters' addresses, I recieved two "undeliverables" and the rest no response. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is there a local historical society there?

Dorothy, I will be happy to look up the Alexander's for you, in fact there is a monument at the end of my road that is Alexander, I will go and get the information listed on it for you, it looks like a headstone, but it is just a monument. Alexander's were a big part of Londonderry, if I remember correctly, I did read the history of Londonderry a few years ago. My family has been here since the 1940's, however I have all the original deeds of my parents land dating back to late 1700's. It is also interesting that I am researching Alexander's, my great grandmother was Helen Alexander, but she was born in Canada, this is on my dad's side, my mom's is the family that first came to Londonderry, and she is all french canadian. I don't believe Helen was french, her father was born in England, but I don't have a lot of info on them, I do have them when they immigrated to NH, it was Lempster, which is up North more, Londonderry is on the southern part of NH, near the Mass border.

Deb: I received a copy of your message to Judy which was posted on the VTOrange list. When you mentioned Alexanders in Londonderry, I perked up. I am searching for information on my 5g grandmother, Margaret ALEXANDER. I will list below the information which leads me to believe that she was from Londonderry but I have been unable to confirm the information or find her parents. Margaret Alexander, b. 1 May 1729, NH; d. 3 May 1812 Fryeburg ME; m. James MCKEAN, b. 3 Apr 1728 Londonderry, NH; d. 9 Aug 1800 Fryeburg ME. My information indicates that they married in Londonderry. I am decended from their first son Alexander MCKEAN, b. 1758 Londonderry, NH. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
