Hello, Steve, Thanks for the offer. Do you see any Carley or Smedley families in your index? I don't think my Carley/Smedley lines are in Newbury, I believe them to be in Williamstown, but would you check to make sure? Sometimes families are in locations we don't think they are in.

Steve: I would be interested in any Davenports that might be in Newbury. I have lots of ancestors in the Williamstown, Randolph, and Brookfield areas.

Phyllis, It's very kind of you to offer your lookup. I'd like to know if you find any mention of a Quartus Carley or Joseph Carley in it. I'm searching for the Quartus Carley (Sr.)& Rebecca (Smedley) Carley who had a daughter Cynthia Carley supposedly born there in Williamstown, Orange, VT on September 19, 1796. The Cleveland History I have gives two locations for her birth, Williamstown, Orange, VT and Williamstown, (Berkshire) MA. Jedidiah Smedley is the father of Rebecca, and Smedley/Carley families are in MA earlier, according to other info. Anything on Quartus and daughter Cynthia would be helpful, just to even place them in the county for certain. I'm trying to locate parents for Quartus, and believe they may be Joseph Carley and Sally Gilbert. I surely appreciate your lookup in your index. I'm in very South Texas and it's some distance to a library with any NE books. Billye D. Jackson coffey@viptx.net This message is virus free.

Thank you for your offer to do look-ups in the Gazeteer of Orange County, Vermont, 1762-1888. I am looking for information on Jonathan and Phebe Chesley who lived in Orange County, Vermont in the early 1800s. Their children included: Cynthia Chesley born 1824, and Mary Chesley born 1826. Both were born in Vershire, Orange County, Vermont.

Janet: Just wondering if you had seen a copy of teh Avery Genealogy Avery, Elroy McKendree, [View Citation <http://www.heritagequestonline.com/prod/genealogy/fullcitation?docID=Genealogy-glh07698775>] [Table of Contents <http://www.heritagequestonline.com/prod/genealogy/fullcitation?docID=Genealogy-glh07698775#toc>] The Groton Avery clan Cleveland: unknown, 1912, 1529 pgs. There is a section on your Christopher Avery and Sally Jones. Unfortunately, it does not provide the parents of Sally, but it does mention that they were married in Meriden, Connecticut, which should narrow down your search for Sally's parents. If you would like the transcription of this section, let me know. I note Christopher was a very, um, fertile person, having had 11 children with Sally and another 8 children with his second wife Sophia Lund. Also, Christopher is sixth generation descendant of the original settler Christopher Avery of Groton, CT.

This is a long shot, but I am searching for Epperson and Olivia Smith..brother and sister b. 1822 and 1823 respectively in Bradford, Orange County. If anyone has any information whatsover on this family, I would really appreciate it. Thank you all for any help. Pauline

Yes, I did know that. Thank you so much for giving me that site. I will study it now. I appreciate this. Pauline

Pauline: \Do you know if Albert Woodworth married a Betsey Sawyer? If so, there is some information on the Sawyer family in McKeen's "History of Bradford" which is available electronically at Universiity of Michigan's "Making of America" site (http://www.hti.umich.edu) Also, I have entered most of the genealogical info from McKeen's book into my New England Families databsae which can be found at: http://orcuttfamily.topcities.com I just checked and the Betsey Sawyer information is there.

Phyllis, Thank you for your generous offer. I would like to ask for a look-up of the Rev. Stephen Hopkins Fuller of Vershire who married Phebe Thurston in 1788. Regards, Ed Herron

Have you contacted the SPRAGUE database? There is quite a bit of information about Jonathan and his family there. It names his 11 children and gives dates of birth for them, along with date of death for many. http://www.sprague-database.org/sp=searchable.htm I am a SPRAGUE descendant, too, but I am of the William (04) line.
