I know of the 2 young twins that died in 1818 but need to find proof, perhaps in your NEHGS, of any other children they had. > > Linda Lathrop Linda: The NEHGS is the "New England Historic Genealogical Society" which publishes the NEHGR, the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register". Notice the slight difference in the wording of the two. The NEHGS is by far the oldest and most respected organization related to New England genealogy, being founded in 1845. The NEHGR has been published since 1847, and is the oldest journal related to American genealogy. see: www.newenglandancestors.org Darrell -- Darrell A.
