I would like any information or help on finding Samuel Kimball Cole b. 1794 either in or around Londonderry, or Boxford, Mass area.

Hello - I am looking for information regarding a sketch done by Edith Norcross Lane in 1882. Edith Lane was a great aunt of my mother's and was quite the artist. She was also a single lady who shared quite abit of our history in her art work and letters. The sketch I have of hers was of what I believe is a farm or farm house, called "The Oakes" near Hampton, New Hampshire and I can't figure out who it belonged to in our family - or even IF it belonged in our family. Edith's direct line is mostly from ME / MA and includes her parents William Warland Clapp Lane and Olive Ann Bradbury; her grandparents were Simeon Bradbury and Annie Googins and Charles Lane and Eliza Bonner Homer. Another name that shows up is Marian Ware and Mr. Ware. Any suggestions / ideas would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Adams of Rockingham Co. New Hampshire

TynaDevine — 4 Jan 2008 7:01:20 GMT

I am looking for any info that anyone has on my particular family I am researching, I seem to have hit a brick wall. Any info would be greatly appriciated.

My husbands great grandfather was George Samuel Adams b. 22 Feb 1894 in Akron, Ohio. George married Sarah Smart of Raymond, NH.

His father my mother-in-law beleives was named Sylvester E Adams unsure of birth year but he was born in NH and married a woman with the last name of Dunphey.

I have found George on a few census' but none of which he lives with his parents, thus making my research a little more difficult. I have though, found him to be living with a Natalie B Adams which I beleive to be his sister b. 1889, they live with Naomi (Bartlett) Adams but on all the census' dating back to when she would have married she was widowed. I had though that Sylvester may be Naomi's son, but it states on the census' she only had two children, Walter D and Lizzie. So I am thinking maybe whoever her husband was that maybe he was an Uncle to Sylvester and he would be brothers to Sylvester's father.

I have found that Natalie B Adams married Phineas Austin Smith and they resided in Deerfield, but George lives with them in 1920 and states him as a boarder not a brother.

If anyone has any relation to this family or any info that they would like to share it would be greatly appriciated.

I hope come Spring to go to the Pine Grove Cemetary in Raymond as I only live in Dover...but a little cold for that this time of year. My mother-in-law beleives some of them to be buried there, but not sure if they lived in Deerfield if they would be buried in Raymond, even though they are only a twon away.

WILSON Surname

I am searching for descendants of James Wilson, who with his four sons, William, James, Robert and Hugh, emigrated from Ireland (Northern Ireland) and settled in Chester, Rockingham County, N.H.

Rev. War - nehemiah Davis account, mentions other names

ghoecampbell — 1 Mar 2008 10:35:34 GMT

The following was written down in my great-grandmother's hand, transcribed from a Nelsonville, Ohio newspaper in 1883. I do not have the original newspaper, only her transcription of it as well as a letter her mother sent her mentioning how lucky they were to have found the old newspaper article. I put it on rootsweb in Athens county, OH but thought it might help someone in NH as it takes place there and mentions other names.

"(Printed in a Nelsonville paper about 1883).

"An Old Letter.

From Elder Nehemiah Davis, of Sunday Creek, O. to REv. Elihu Thayer, of Kingston, N.H. (date unknown).

Dear Sir: I am unde the necessity of making a friend of you or some other person in your vicinity to do some business for me, as I live a great distancce from your parts. As Congress has passed an act for the relief of soldiers who were in the United States service for nine months or longer in the Revolutionary war. I enlisted in the service of the United States in teh Revolutionary war the 1st of January, 1776, in Captain Philip Tilton's company and Col. Poor's regiment, in the New Hampshire line of troops, and served my country faithfully for that year.

The way and manner of my serving the army is as follows: there came a snow sometime in the month of November, 1776, and Major Tilley with about one thousand men went from Mount Independence where we were then stationed, to track or find some Indians- who were lurking around, and I, lying down in the night, with my blanket under teh side of a log, I took a great cold. Next day we returned to our tents at Mount Independence, and I was taken very sick with the fever, extremely sick, and the year being nearly out for which we enlisted, Lieut. Joseph Huntoon (note: the last name is ? as I couldn't definitely say it's Huntoon, due to her cursive), my brother-in-law, under whom I enlisted, was sent home with about one third of the regiment who were feeble or invalids, and I should have been sent with them if I had been able to go. Orders came for the rest of the regiment to go to New Jersey, and Dr. Pebe (?) came to me and told me I must go with them. I was taken across Lake George in a boat, from thence towards Albany. I rode in a cart with the officers' baggage and about fifteen soldiers commannded by Captaiin Clough (?) who had charge of me, and in company with the regiment, and I riding in the rain three or four days I took a relapse, and we put up at a tavern, and in the morning they left me for a dying man. I fainted and was gone apparently, but recovered again. The said Captain Clough who had charge of me, was gone, the regiment was gone and I left alone at the tavern, and out of money save $1.25 loaned me by Ensign Robert Pike. In this deplorable circumstance I was left, expecting death to discharge me, and thought of no other discharge, neither do I think my officers thought of any other discharge.

My year being out except a few days, and separated from all my fellow soldiers, after a few days I felt better, and rode seventy miles on a cart and on a wagon, and soon overtook Captain Clough of Cantaburry, of our regiment, so through the goodness of a kind God I got home to Poplin, where my father Timothy Davis lived, who, with my mother, were members of Kingston Congregational Church of Christ. Mr. Amos of Tappan was their pastor while he lived, then the Rev. Eliui Thayer took charge of the flock.

To you, sir, or some other person of fidelity, I apply to find some living evidences of my service that I may receive pensioin as a private soldier. I served my country faithfully for the year 1776, and neither was I put under guard once for the whole year. I felt resolved to do my duty and leave the event with the great Ruler of heaven and earth, and the _____ (can't read) spared my life to this day and I believe my peace is made with him through my glorious Redeemer.

The last of my wages I received of Lieut. Powell, after I returned of home, but as no written discharges were given I want witnesses of my service.

Added- Caleb Huntoon (?), formerly of Kingston, who knew me, and of our company, John Smith, of Stratam, to whom I sold my gun, and one of our company.

Circumstances- When Ensign Robert Pike left me at the tavern, sick, he left me $1.25, and I told him to take it out of my wages, which my paymaster told me he did, and I spoke to him about it a few years before I came from the District of Maine, where I was preaching at New Market in a time of reformation. Also Sergeant John Sweet will remember me at Saratoga, on our return, when I was sick. I was lying down by the fire, and James Pating came in drunk and told me I should not lie there. Sergeant Sweet todl him I should, and Pating took a piece of a slab and motioned to send it at him and Sergeant Greeley in bed. Sergeant Sweet sprung and knocked him down, and crooked the barrel of his gun. By this circumstance he will remember me.

To Rev. Elihu Thayer"

I am looking for directions to the cemetery that I have found reference on a recent death certificate from the NH Vital Records Office. It is called the Hoitt Cemetery located on Mountain Rd in Northwood.

This is not to be confused with the Hoitt Cemetery on Garrity Rd in Lee NH which I have located.

Nicholas Hodge descents, he born 1653

jalfischer — 14 Jan 2003 8:16:42 GMT

Help from anyone that has any information on the Nicholas Hodge born 1653, he lived at Rye in what is now Rockingham Co, New Hampshire.
I have information that I would like to varify that his grandfather was Thomas Hodge born 1583 in Bicester ? England who had at least these sons: Charles, James, Nicholas, and Michael.

Charles had the Nicholas that was born 1653 and who settled at Rye, now in Rockingham Co, New Hampshire. He was associated with the Skillings family of Casco Bay and New Castle.

James was in what is now Kittery, Maine. One of his sons witnessed a deed there in 1643. Two of James's sons John and Henry went to Connecticut (I have the Hodge line there Book: HODGE AND ALLIED FAMILIES).

Nicholas born before 1605 had a fishing vessel and worked the coast from Casco Bay, New Castle, and Rye to Virginia in 1625. Don't have anything on Michael except that he had descents in Maine and New Hampshire and they intermarried with the other brothers children.

I believe my family is from the line of Nicholas (1653) of Charles (circa 1620) of Thomas 1583.

My ancestor is Thomas Hodge (1748) and he was married in Newberry port to Abigale Young and had two daughters there Elizabeth and Abigale. He removed to Portland Maine with the land lottery.

Would like to know the father of Thomas.

Also any information on the Nicholas 1653 that married Seaborn Reynolds the adopted daughter of Richard Tucker and his wife Margaret Raynell Tucker. Margaret died on Sagamore Creek after deeding her lands to Nicholas grandson of Nicholas and Seaborn. Seaborn's natural parents were Nicholas and Dorthy Reynolds.

Thank you Jo

John Rowe (Lt) b. 1737 or 1744? New Hampshire (m. Susanna Scribner)

jedh1 — 11 Feb 2007 8:07:04 GMT

Okay, so sue me... I have a theory which I would like to see either totally disproved, or challenged.

The long-standing family histories on the ROWE families show two separate John ROWEs, who I believe MAY actually be one and the same.

1737 John - There were TWO John ROWEs documented as b. 1737, that play into this equation. One was b. Jan-1737, son of John Rowe and Leah Blake, b. at Hampton Falls, NH.
The other was a John Rowe, b. Aug-1737 at Gloucester, MA, who later became a Captain in the MA Militia (no need to go on, he doesn't "fit")

This John b. Jan-1737 has never appeared married to anyone or had any children (at least none that I've seen). So... he has an ancestry, but no descendancy....

We now come to John Rowe, listed as b. 1744, Kingston, NH (granted, he WAS married in Kingston). He has a wife, and children (descendancy), but no ancestral lines ever noted.

Here, in a nutshell, is my theory:

1) There is no known connection to ANY ancestors for John Rowe b. 1744
2) There is no known marriage or children ever connected to John Rowe b. Jan-1737 (yes, to Aug-1737, but that's a different John)
3) If b. 1744, John was only 17 when married to a woman who would have been 3-4 years his senior (Susanna b. 1741, marriage in 1761, Kingston (by most accounts))
4) LESS than 10 miles separate Kingston (presumed birth location for 1744 John) and Hampton Falls (birth location of Jan-1737 John)
5) IF John was baptized later than other children, or, if his family happened to remove from a Hampton Falls church to a Kingston one, he MIGHT have been baptized in 1744 in KINGSTON, yet still have been born in 1737, at Hampton Falls. (though nothing suggests Kingston except marriage record - from what I've found)
6) Only KNOWN source for year of birth I've seen is his being listed aged 81 in 1825, when he died. If this was from a history, or a written document OTHER than an original notice of death, there's a CHANCE that 87 could have been read as 81 or even an 89 misread, similarly. This would put his birth 1736-1738, which would surely encompass the Jan-1737 DOB in this theory.

Does anyone have solid proof that the John b. 1737 had no marriage or children? Or, proof against the possibility that John listed b. 1744, could have been actually born in Hampton Falls, only 7 years earlier?

I welcome all challenges, as well as any ideas on how one might possibly prove this theory out. I've no idea where (as yet) John Rowe was buried in 1825, though I'd have to presume somewhere in Andover, NH. What condition might his marker be in, and if so, what entry is made? Is he listed with a date of death "at age" or were both years of birth and death inscribed?.

Looking forward to trying to break two brick walls at one time... I have 1737 and 1744 John in my database, and truly believe this theory is a factual possiblity, given the right set of FACTS, if they can still be sorted from non-facts or previous historical assumptions or assertions.

GRAHAM migrations from Chester, NH to Caughnawaga, NY

jgraham67 — 12 Sep 2007 7:34:54 GMT

I am trying to determine whether the Thomas GRAHAM and wife Maragriet who appear in records for the Caughnawaga Reformed Church are connected with the Graham family that settled in Chester, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire in the early 1700s.

Thomas Graham (birth/death dates unknown)
wife Maragriet (last name unknown)

had a daughter:
Catrina Graham b. 17 May 1777

The Caughnawaga Reformed Church records also list

Elizabeth Graham, wife of John Crosset

Elizabeth Graham Crosset has definitely been traced to the Chester, NH Graham line.

I am also interested in determining how (or if) there is a connection between Thomas Graham and the following individuals:

William Graham and George Graham

Both of these men appear on the 1790 Census for Caughnawaga, NY.

I would appreciate any information/assistance.

Sincerely,
Jeannie Graham

Thomas Perkins b. 1667-171 in

sharonadp — 6 Sep 2007 1:29:23 GMT

I am trying to confirm the correct Thomas and his ancestors for my family line. What I do know is he married Mary Banfield, daughter of John Banfield. They had 9 children, one of these children is part of the lineage of George Clement Perkins who moved to California and became Governor.

My Thomas was born (depending on the source) in 1667, 1670, or 1671. He was born in Topsfield, MA, Greenland, NH, or England. His son, Thomas, my 4th great grandfather was born in Greenland, NH in 1700; m. Lydia Harding.

The family migrated to Kennebunkport (old Arundel), ME. where Thomas Sr. may have all ready had land.
Thomas Perkins, Sr. is found with various parents...
In the Genealogy and Family History of Maine they show him the son of John Perkins and Deborah Browning. However, I find the same son in online trees and in 1 other reference as having children in Enfield. John was the son of Thomas and Phebe (Gould) Perkins.

Some trees show him the son of Thomas Perkins (b. 1628 in England) and Frances Beard.

Still two family trees have Thomas parents as Thomas Perkins (b. 1628) and Elizabeth Dawes.

I am up to the possibility we are all wrong. However, I do know that there was a Thomas "of Dover, NH" that was the immigrant Perkins of that line. It is possible he had two wives?

Any proof to any of these combinations is greatly appreciated!

Benjamin Moore and Eleanor Jewell

mishkacavy — 14 Aug 2007 4:50:40 GMT

Some time back I posted for information on Augustus Moore. I was looking for his family of origin. I even had the opportunity to visit Stratham and Exeter, NH in July of this year and found nothing. However, NH state archives in Concord gave me some valuable advice: death certificates often carry more information than birth certificates. Having found nothing on Augutus there I sent for his death certificate in Oregon. It named his parents. His father was Benjamin Moore and his mother was Eleanor Jewell Moore. Does anyone have any information on these people and their families?

Plaistow Vital Records

bgmerritt — 4 Jul 2007 7:49:07 GMT

I have been working with Priscilla Hammond's Vital Records of Plaistow, New Hampshire (Concord, N.H., 1937) and have discovered what I think is an error. I would like to compare the book to the original source but I don't know what it is. Hammond is completely silent on her sources or methodology other than saying in her title that the book is based on the town records and "other sources." I assume that most of it comes from town (or church) records in Plaistow, but it's obvious from a brief study of the book that it also includes events that did not occur in Plaistow. Does anyone know enough about the vital records (town or church) of Plaistow to point me in the right direction? The error relates to an 1847 report of a death (Malinda George) which I think was "highly exaggerated."

Anna Maria Trickey and father Samuel Trickey

I am looking for Anna Maria Trickey's family. Anna was born in Portsmouth, Rockingham Co., NH, November 7, 1819. Her father was Samuel Trickey. Apparently some members of the Trickey family changed their lastname to Milton and Samuel was one of them. Therefore, his records might be found under Samuel Milton. I do not know the name of Anna's mother.

Anna Maria Trickey married William Jennings Slade(born North Revere, Suffolk Co., MA, July 7, 1807) on September 22, 1839 in Portsmouth.

If you have any information on Anna or ancestors and siblings, please let me know. I am also very curious as to why the Trickeys changed their name.

Virginia Lee Trask

My grandmother had a daughter Virginia Lee Trask born August 22, 1913 in Wakefield,MA. She died at the age of 13 from scarlet fever w/complications. I recently came into some papers that states where she is buried. Buried lot 738 Riverside Cemetery, New Market, New Hampshire. Recorded in the book Octobr 20,1936 book D page 739 Copy of Cemetery Deed Dated July 1924. 1926 she married Stephen Augustus Willey and I believe that is why she is buried there. If some kind soul knows of this cemetery and/or has access to the book of burials I would more than appreciate a look up.

Thank you advance for any consideratons.

Barnetts of Londonderry, NH

Am searching for connecting persons in the above families that were either in the original colonists to Londonderry, NH in 1719 or later. My first ancestor to America was Jannett Forsythe Stewart. Her son John was married to Elizabeth Clark. Her son Robert was my direct ancestor and I can find nothing about a spouse or spouses of his, although he had two sons, John and Samuel that lived in Amherst, NH. John's son was Simpson who moved to VT and his grandson Charles May Stewart married Abigail Barnett. Tracing her line back takes me back to NH and a John Barnett. I have no documentation as to which Barnett line this is.

Hello
I am making a road trip to NH in the summer and am looking for ancestors headstones. Where can I find out which cemetary in Newton (if there is more than one) an ancestor is buried? I am looking for Charles Collins (1735-1787) born and died in Newton. As well as some of his descendents born and died in Newton. I understand Concord now has all records so will be going there for certificates, but wanted to see headstones. Thank you.

The History of Windham in New Hampshire by Leonard Morrison

I ordered a reprint of "The History of Windham in New Hampshire" by Leonard Morrison from www.higgonsonbooks.com. Some images are missing from the reprint but all the text appears to be there. It's certainly not the same as having an original copy but the next best thing!
