I plan to reply to Joann privately off-list about results, but I am also a big believer in the list archives, so this part is really for the archives and for the next person who will be asking the same question. From the "Barbour Collection" VRs index film of the LDS. The place is all Lebanon, Connecticut. The surname is all "Closson, Clauson" unless otherwise noted. Miriam Baldwin Closson - none Miriam Closson - none (none by maiden name) Mary Crossman - none Joseph Chapman - none Joseph Closson - none Nehemiah Closson/Clauson, son of Nehemiah Jr. and Miriam, born 1758, no siblings listed Nehemiah Jr, married Miriam Crosman, 1758 (no parents for Miriam; no other Crosmans at all; she's a UFO girl) Nehemiah, son of John and Zerviah, born 1736 John married Zerviah Sweetland, 1735 (no parents for John, and I forgot to check Sweetland). John and Zerviah also had a kid named Eleazer, b. "1709 (1739?)", and Simeon b. 1741. Nehemiah and Elizabeth (a married couple), no birth for Nehemiah, no marriage record to Elizabeth, so Elizabeth has no surname. This couple had some kids in the 1720s, but none named Nehemiah Jr. on this index. But, anyway, there was indeed an elder Nehemiah running around in addition to the others, just for the record. The above is from a typewritten index, and it is subject to error and boo-boos. Nehemiah "Jr" has no parents given, not specifically, literally, per se, with the "Jr" attached, so he might be a son of John, or he might not, I suppose. The dates would work, if John was a busy guy. Lester Powers "Joann H. Nichols" <[email protected]> asked: >>>>> Nehemiah Closson b. 13 Dec. 1758 at Lebanon, Windham Co., CT. He was married to Mary Crossman on 13 July 1783 at Nobletown, Columbia Co., NY, and he died 16 April 1839. Can anyone tell me Nehemiah's parents and siblings? I am seeking information on a Miriam Baldwin Closson who was married to a Joseph Chapman. For a while Nehemiah Closson and Joseph Closson were living in Hartford, Windsor Co., VT. I also need help with the parents of Joseph Chapman. Thanks for any information. Joann Nichols <<<<< ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
