Dear WRG: Triggered by Robert's recent note about Arabella Bowker and Jason Whitney, I have run across a marriage in Hopkinton (a real Bowker treasure trove) between one Samuel Bouker and Lydia Whitney of Mendon, Dec. 12, 1754, in Mendon. Sudbury VR's also show other siblings for Arabella: Danill, b. Jan. 17, 1703/04; father spelled Edman Edmund, b. Aug. 5, 1689; father spelled Edmund also (on the theory that the Edmund above would have been the first son of a man born sometime around 1655/60) one other, who might be a sister; Mary, d. Edmund and Margarett, April 15, 1665 When time permits, I'll go back into the Middlesex VR's and see if I can find more. Allan E. Green
