3. Re: [MAWORCES] Worcester, Massachusetts [1]
LOL, you all must have looked up the last time I was talking about Worcester on this list! Either that or you have LO_O_ONG memories. No, I'm not getting caught up in that again... I simply want to know why the town was called Worcester if noone who was FROM Worcester helped found it.

4. [MAWORCES] Information on Puritan migration to New England from Worcestershire [1]
Yup, I know this is the Worcester County, Massachusetts list, but it occurred to me to wonder how Worcester, Massachusetts, got named for Worcestershire, England, and I bet that people who are right up on the history of Worcester know the answer. Usually towns and counties got named after places where principal founders or groups thereof lived. I only know of a single Puritan who ever came to New England from Worcestershire; the Doolittle's, and there whereabouts just before they left are such a my

6. [MAWORCES] NEHGS website slowness [1]
Greetings, As those of you with a subscription to the NEHGS website know already, the newenglandancestors site is very slow and difficult to get into. In a reply to my email about this, the webmaster said that the NEHGS staff is aware of the difficulties, but haven't figured out exactly what is causing it. Thought you might like to know that they are checking into it. Sincerely, Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer In hot, hot, hot Stevens County, Washington State
7. Re: [MAWORCES] Puritan migration to New England/ Lydbury [1]
I always thought that Worcester and Gloucester were named (and spelled) so that New Englanders could quickly identify non-New Englanders. It is either that or ask them what pinochie is.

10. [MAWORCES] Re; Worcester, MA [1]
one possible answer,, >From http://ci.worcester.ma.us/history.htm The Nipmuc people were living in the region when the first European settlers arrived in the 1670s and created a community they called Quinsigamond Plantation. The community was renamed Worcester in 1684, possibly for Worcester, England, as an angry gesture at King Charles II of England, who had suffered defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. Hostility from the Nipmuc twice forced the abandonment of the settlement; the first permanent
11. [MAWORCES] Fire at Bernat Mill complex, Uxbridge [1]
Update about the fire. From what I know - The fire is not out but is contained. There is still thick black smoke coming out of the shell of the building. 45 fire crews responded to the fire. I'm not sure if that includes all the towns that responded from RI. Uxbridge belongs to a district that includes many of the border towns in RI. 3 Striker crews of EMS responded. From what I have figured out a "striker crew" is one ambulance or EMS apparatus from each town in a district. I don't know how

PURITAN HISTORY Each family history of early New England settlers contain a wealth of history researched by the authors. Dr. William Prescott who authored the Prescott Memorial did lengthy research into the Puritan history. He had this report to offer within the works cited: Prescott Memorial p.3 To obtain a knowledge of the persecutions and sufferings of the Puritans while in England, the reader may consult Bancroft's History of the United States, Vol.1 pp 275 to 3l3.

>In fact, they maintained an indifferent attitude toward the matter of >spelling the word, for in the early town records it is written in as many >as twelve different ways." Of course, this wasn't indifference. They just spelled things phonetically. I have heard it ascribed to Shakespear, who also spelled his own name differently, that a person was not educated who could not spell a word at least 3 different ways. Also, I have read original writings by King Henry VIII, who was extremely well educate

Royalston was established February 19, 1765, from a tract of land called " Royalshire." On the 17th of June, 1780, a portion of this township was set off to Winchendon, and another part was included in the District of Orange, Franklin County, October 15, 1783. Parts of Athol and Gerry (afterwards Phillipston) were annexed to Royalston, February 26, 1799, and another part of Athol was added March 7, 1803. You didn't give any dates in your request.

Hi! I know there was an administration for John Dyer late of Dudley, in 1784 but don't have a docket #. I know I could go up there but hate the lack of parking plus the construction.

21. Re: [MAWORCES] Puritan migration to New England/ Lydbury [1]
As for the pronounciation: besides the ongoing slaughter of the name by telemarketers, no one I grew up with in the Worcester area had any use for the R's at the ends of most words, so it would have been "Wistah" sounding like "Vista" rather than sounding like "Twister." Some even add a bit of the "o" so it's more like "Woostah" (the double "o" sound as in "look" not the double "o" sound as in "toot.") Not really geneaology but perhaps someday someone 100 years from now will be researching the ar
22. [MAWORCES] Gibbons family bible search [1]
Hello, I have found reference to there being mentioned a family bible from the GIBBONS family line. I believe this to have been with reference to maybe listing a Peter GIBBOONS-1, and, a Peter GIBBONS-2 who ultimately lived in and died in Granville MA. I am wondering if possibly someone with membership to the NEHGS could check for me if possibly they have a listing there of such a family bible in their holdings? Peter-2 GIBBONS married my 4TH G-Grandmother in 1751 at Hardwick MA and referred to my 3RD G

Exactly as I suspected. Progeny of good ol' Edmund Rice. From Suffolk and Hertfordshire. But what's this got to do with why the town was called Worcester?

Update about fire Cranes and front end loaders have been moved into the area to take down the remaining walls. There is a meeting going on now and one going to be held later to discuss everything. The fire still has hot spots and flare ups. Water is still being pumped from the river. The Town of Uxbridge is using water out of Whitinsville (the next town) to supply drinking water. The P & W Railroad can not run through town until at least 8:00 p.m. tonight - but that could be changed until later.
