While I endeavor to be scrupulous in my genealogical assertions, I am not quite ready to set my work alongside his.

But fortunately I found the new BATCHELDER branch was already in my notes, so it was like adding a "graft" branch without a lot of new research. However, I will have to update a lot of blog posts, which will be even more work! I lost a lot of interesting maiden name ancestors from Rockingham County, NH and gained a few new ones from the Newbury, MA area. <br />Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-4556159065373615602018-08-03T11:01:08.080-07:002018-08-03T11:01:08.080-07:00Just to add to the complexity, I now find that Mar...Just to add to the complexity, I now find that Mary Guptill probably is _not_ my ancestress; she'd been claimed to be the wife of my forebear John Pearce of RI, but it looks very much as though someone confused the marriage of a later Mary Guptill to a later John Pearce of ME/NH. I don't think we know who the wife of the first John was -- she's just going to have to stay "Mary UNKNOWN" on WikiTree for the present...<br /><br />Never a dull moment in this game. :o)Christopher Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750864677103795953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-70132156856400672872018-08-03T10:21:21.371-07:002018-08-03T10:21:21.371-07:00Very interesting.

Dic. of ME and NH" which says "he m. 2nd 4 Nov. 1707 Mary, wid. of Robert Colley of Malden and was liv. then when he went bonds for her in court." Thanks for clearing this up. I will edit the blog post.

I'm finding (MA VR) that Leonard married Mary _Caley_, widow of Robert Caley (Torrey's "New England Marriages" has "Calley") of Malden... not Mary _Caverly_, widow of William. (Mary is, from best evidence, my ancestress, with 1st hubby Thomas Guptill.) Thanks for any info you may have. (If William didn't die till somewhere relatively near 1732, this also would call into question a 1707 remarriage of his widow!) I've laid out the argument with source links on Leonard's WikiTree profile at wikitree (dot) com/wiki/Drowne-62 .Christopher Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750864677103795953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-25941388049434936932011-10-02T04:29:05.784-07:002011-10-02T04:29:05.784-07:00Nice information on this family line!Nice information on this family line!Tracing Ancestors, an a3Genealogy Partnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479631946579184004noreply@blogger.com
