Hi Heather,

As I scrolled down and read another comment by you, I noticed we have some common surnames in the area:  Nason, Batchelder, Sanborne.  I also have Brown, Blake, Libby,Larabee, Sleeper, Howard, and several others.  Plus I have my husband lines that came to Londonderry!

I will get more specific and send you a querry.  Thanks for the offer!  Maureen

My blog is http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com and Nutfield Genealogy covers the Scots Irish settlers in Londonderry/Derry, New Hampshire as well as genealogy in general in Northern New England.  If you have requests I might be able to help out, and I have an extensive list of gravestone photos and other genealogical information on the surnames listed on my site.

A Very Grave Matter run by Jenn Marcelais, contains many, many pictures from cemeteries in MA, ME & NH. Each cemetery contains an thumbnails of the headstones in that cemetery, usually alphbetical. Jenn also takes requests for cemeteries to photograph and she has a mailing list for those who would like to be kept up on additions. To sign up for her e-news or to request a cemetery, visit A Very Grave Matter.

I'm posting this information to NH group too because it covers both VT and NH, thanks!

'm looking for information on my ancestor Benjamin A. Lewis born ca. 1818 and wife Lucia, I have them in the 1860, 1870 & 1880 Claremont,Sullivan,NH censuses and have asked for a 1850 lookup but would be happy to know anything else. I found a record in the IGI of a son Willie Anderson born in Springfield, Windsor,VT 26 Feb 1857 so they must have moved to NH not long after that since they are there in 1860 and daughter Anna L. was born Sep 1861 probably Claremont.
I'm not sure if they had any other children. I think I have Lucia's maiden name here somewhere too, just not right here, as most of the family history was kept by my moms family and handed down to her and then me. It's just not all in my FTM as yet.
In 1900 & 1910 Anna is with her NEVERS aunts/uncles still in Claremont.
1920 Anna's head of household with a few boarders, also still in Calremont.
1930 Anna's living on her own, still in Claremont.
She passed away after 1958 as I have a photo and written on the back it says Anna was 90 yrs old in 1958.
Thanks for any help you might offer

*** UPDATE: GeneJ sent me Anna's birth registration.
Anna Lucretia Lewis born Sept 7 1861, Claremont, female, white, living, 4th child, father B. Lewis born Springfield, VT, white, residence Claremont, occupation laborer. mothers maiden name L.S. Lewis (I think that's an error!), born Rockingham,VT, white.

Thank you for the tip. Very helpful!

Comment by Dawn Evans Stringer on July 24, 2009 at 10:48am

I am researching Powers, Whitcomb, Keyes, Wheat, Ball, Nevins, Willoughby and Rhoades, mostly in Hillsborough and Grafton counties in the 1700's. My 7th great grandfather, Captain Peter Powers was the first permanent settler in Hollis. Gene, thanks so much for posting the link to The State and Provincial Papers of New Hampshire I had never seen the site before. I now know where I will be spending the next few days (weeks)!

GeneJ... Thanks for the link for the Provinicial Papers, I had forgotten about them. Not anymore... I downloaded them all this time. Your mention of Grafton County deeds without a link made me go looking for them, and I stumbled on the fact that several counties have their deed information online. I'm going to setup a discussion on deeds, as I would like some further information if you have it. BTW... to access all of the deeds everyone, use this link: http://www.nhdeeds.com/

Comment by Heather Wilkinson Rojo on July 21, 2009 at 8:41pm

Ditto that! The State Papers collection has been invaluable to me.
My ancestors go back to the first settlers on the seacoast and Pisquataqua region- Batchelder, Sanborn, Wilkinson, Nason, Locke, Odiorne, Thompson, etc.
