George Benjamin Dolbeare born Dec. 25, 1753, New London married Margaret Fox
about 1775, New London.
Margaret is the daughter of Ezekial Fox and Mehitable Lamson.
Did George Benjamin and Margaret have a son George who married Sarah Bradford
in 1797?
Are there any more children born to George Benjamin and Margaret?
What are the names of the children born to George and Sarah Bradford?
There is a George Dolbeare on the Mohegan tribal roll for 1861. Is this
family any connection?
Thank you,
Lynn

I'm Kathy Smith, new to this list - looking for descendants of Rev. Jedediah Smith, born May 10, 1802 in the town of Lyme, New London Co. CT, from a long line of Welch ancestry. His parents were Esek (may have been Ezekial) Smith and Thankful Thompson. Jedediah was the fourth of five children. The others were William, Hannah, Betsey and Prudence. Jedediah's father, Esek, was drowned, with a comrade, at the mouth of the Niantic River, when his boat capsized. He left his family impoverished, and when Jededi

They had one child that I know about, John W. Arnold (b. 11 Apr 1867 in

Co., CT). Joel's father might have been Justin Arnold. Supposedly this

Rich,
Saw your post today on the CTNEWLON-L on Lucretia HOLMES, wife of Samuel. I
have no information on them, but curiosity has me wondering if you are
looking for Samuel HOLMES who married Lucretia BILL and had a daughter,
Lucretia HOLMES who married William THOMPSON [b. July 2, 1742 in Montville,
New London County, Connecticut, d. 1834 unknown location]. That's about all
I know about them, other than the names of three of Lucretia HOLMES and
William THOMPSON's children, their dates and spouses, and so
I have a brick wall with this family. Would appreciate any information on
them.

Good morning Doug and Good morning list,
I am answering this through the list as I thought there might be an
interest elsewhere and wanted to share what I have, which is not much.
Yesterday while at the library in Orlando, FL., I ran across a book titled
"Norwich Historic Homes and Families". It was published by The Society of
The Founders of Norwich. Until I received the below information from
DAVID HOFFMAN and PAM HOLDEN, this was all I knew. Thanks Pam and Dave.

Henry A. Baker, in his "History of Montville, Connecticut", also says:
This Samuel Holmes was a resident of the North Parish and died about
1774, aged fifty-two years. His will, dated August 4, 1774, names his
wife as executor, but does not give her name. He says there are eleven
children, and only names one, his daughter Prudence, "who is
incapacitated to help herself."
Does anyone know where I can get the text of Samuel HOLMES's will?

A map of the town of Voluntown was included in the Atlas of Windham County,

hear the story behind it. Anybody know?

If you have German-speaking relatives who lived in Norwich between
1857-1901 you will find a goldmine of information in the records of the
First Evangelical Lutheran Church. This was the German-speaking church
and their records include births, marriages, deaths, and confirmations.
These records include the birthplace! The records are written in the
old German script, and they are in the German language as well so they
can be hard to read. The confirmation record for my relative gave the
exact birthplace

New lister seeks marriage date/place for union of Anne EDGERTON and Amos AVERY.
Anne was born 9 Oct 1738 in NOrwich and Amos was born about 1735, probably in Groton. No death information for Anne, but Amos died 11 Aug 1823 in North Coventry, CT (county name not known).

In later years ca 1800 there were PRATTs living in the area of Providence,
RI, later moving to the area near Voluntown in Washington County, RI. It's
a long shot....
