If my Uncle Eddie Schnorr was alive, bet he would know....
The Quaker Motor Inn is like maybe one mile from Cock 'n Kettle.
Since the owners of the Inn have lived there for many a year.... maybe
they would know? Just a thought....Joan

Hi Joan,
Ok- tackled the other email first- the Capron-Scot-Arnold-Spear-Hall info.
First- found nothing in Mendon published VRs- also checked Wrentham as
Bellingham was an early part of that (as well as Dedham but don't have access
to those at our local library). So, all the information will be from:
Vital Records of Bellingham, Massachusetts To The Year 1850, published at
Boston MA in 1904.
David and Sarah (Capron) Scott- can find no marriage nor intentions of
marriage- did find seven children li
Hi All.
Rose that is a good question?? Also on Birth Certificates??
Back in those days was the father named or were all written as
unknown , if not wed??
I have been on many list and been doing genealogy over 20 years and
this question has never arisen..
I was a God Parent in the late 1940's for an unwed mother.. Although
she knew the father, the birth record had
Father: Unknown. and of course the child carried her maiden name.
(think this was the norm back
Tom, notice a "Le Sueur" in your e-mail. Are they from Mass. too? I am
trying to fill in that line a little more completely. Do you have more
information on them? I am connected to a Cynthia Lesure (1780-1864) who
married a Daniel Corbett. Her parents were Simeon Lesure (1761-1806) and
Miriam Fitch (?-?).

Hi All:
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking at the vital records of Thompson,
Windham Co., CT on film.
I extracted a few entries pertaining to Mendon and surrounding towns:

Good morning,
As cousin Alice knows I've been trying to connect our Pilgrim John
Howland line in order to register with their Society.
Just received a letter asking about conflicts regarding the marriage or
marriages of Sarah CAPRON, on p.8, #24, "The Descendants of Banfield
Capron (1660-1752)" and Philip Capron's brief account of Banfield
Capron's descendants.
Sarah, b.1732; mar. David SCOTT and had 10 children. According to
Frederick Holden's notation on p.8, David also married Sarah ARNOLD, 21

Hi All,
Tradition has it that Ammidon
/Amadowne etc. is a French Huguenot name.
Philip Ammidon was the first known owner of the Ammidon Tavern in
Mendon. (ca 1770) . This building is still standing in Mendon at 2
Main St.
It is very famous for having refused George Washington lodgings.
And one of Mendon's Historic Buildings.
Philip's wife was Silvia TAFT;
He was the son of Ichabod and Margery Aldrich d/o Jacob and Margery
Hayward.
Margaret or Margery Aldrich Ammidon
With all the spelling problems of the good old days who can be sure?
I still can't spell Le Sueur without stopping and thinking. I believe in
French the meaning is "the sweat". Go figure.

Hi Rose:
No not necessarily. The child could carry either the father's name or the
mother's. In some cases if the father was listed on the birth certificate,
then the child would more than likely take the father's name. If not, then
more likely to have the mother's name. Not set in stone.

Morning Betty and all Lister,
Betty your Thomas Thayer was a brother to Ferdinando Thayer.
I have a little in my data about them, however, I don't see where
they came to Mendon?? They were in Braintree and seemed to remain in
that area. I maybe wrong??
My info below comes from the B. Thayer Genealogy. which is known to
have many errors. So beware.

I have nothing on Abigail Thayer, of Briantree. No Veazey's in the
Mendon vital records.
Hope this helps a littl
Why Was George Washington refused Lodgings at the Ammidon Tavern in
Mendon, Ma. :)
Pres George WASHINGTON was inaugurated , as the 1st President ,
in New York City in 1789. Congress adjourned and Washington began his
a tour of the states along the Eastern seaboard on Thursday, Oct.
15. 1789 . As far as can be found he was accompanied by Major
Jackson,
Mr. Bear, and 6 servants..
The President traveled in a very impressive carriage flanked by

Morning Joan and All Listers,
Just quickly here as for VR'S , I am sadly lacking on this
Capron/Scott line.
However David SCOTT as far as I can see married only once Sarah
CAPRON,,
It was their son DAVID that married Sarah ARNOLD .
I have the same data as you on Elizabeth Capron says she married
El. Spear and 2nd Seth Hall. I haven't any dates either..
Sorry I can't be of more help..But hopefully all our Ma-Mendon

Hi-just wanted to say that I'm glad this is such a friendly list! I am
on quite a few, and it seems that any time there is an off- topic post,
whether its holiday greetings or virus warnings-there s a follow-up
flurry of hissy fit postings about what is or is not appropriate!
Hope you all had a nice mothers day!! Rose

I spent my day at the Brimfield Fair. It was my second trip there. I went
once when I was 15. That was 21 years ago. I found a photo of a Laura R.
Spinney and her husband _____ Staurt. I wonder if they are related to my
mohters family. I didnt buy it because I had no clue. I did buy some dishes
and flatware. I had fun in the brutal sun.

This question came to me in regards to Pheoebe Trask; hope someone on the

Query:
My dilemma is that my ancestor Jacob Amidown
took for his second wife Irene Johnson (probably born about 1745). He died
circa 1790 and she remarried on July 09, 1794 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts
to David Aldrich. But which David Aldrich???
Thanks Barb,
for sharing this sight.
Must say I did shed a few tears,
again: Happy Mother's Day to All,

Hi Tom,
I received the letter from you yesterday.... I will put it in the Pratt

Hi Joan,
Answer to second email. There are lots of things on the Worcester County web
site but I am not aware that the index to the probate records is there.
I'll check out this family first in the VRs to see what we find and then-
when I get to AAS, I can check the Worcester County Probate Index to see if
there is anything on file. That way, if there is, you will have a probate #
to use when you write to the Registry of Probate.
Now- remind me next week please? Hate to have this get lost in the p

On DAVIS families....I do have a copy of a bound typescript entitled "Samuel
Davis of Oxford, Mass and Joseph Davis of Dudley, Mass. And Their
Descendants" compiled by a George L. Davis in 1884. I cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the information- only that there is an everyname index and this
book includes some text from deeds and probates.
Many familiar Mendon surnames so if anyone would like a lookup, let me know.
