Hi Sue, and all!

Horse thieves in Mendon? Heaven forbid! Weren't all our ancestors too good for that? We'd like to think so, anyway. No, I never heard of this society, but it makes me wonder if Alice knows anything about it or has anything in the archives about it. I know I have a witch back there as an 8th great-grandmother (Mary Tyler, wife of Hopestill Tyler, daughter-in-law of the notorious but always interesting Job Tyler), but she was acquitted. I've always thought she'd be more interesting if she had been found guilty!

Alice, I'll be glad to transcribe something about this if you have something in the archives. Just let me know. I haven't done any transcribing for you in a long time.

Hi Mendon Listers!
Long time, no hear from any of you! Has anyone ever heard of this? I found
some records for The Society for Detecting Horse Thieves in the Towns of
Mendon, Bellingham, and Milford. It was organized 21 Dec 1795. When I put Chilson
in the search engine, four names came up! I haven't tried any other names as
yet. It's on the Genealogy Today website -- but is a for pay resource.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this.
Sue
