I know he had a daughter named Mrs. Beatrice Gelinas, he lived on Orchard Street in Haverhill/Bradford Ma. Dorothy d2downsouth @webworkz.com 14 July 2002 Hello! I am researching the Lovett's who were primarily from Beverly, MA. When my dad, (Stephen K. Lovett) died, he left a handwritten note that his paternal grandparents were John M Lovett (b. abt. 1828 in Chelmsford,MA) and Rosetta Peavey. This same note claimed that Thomas Lovett (b.1793 in Beverly) and Molly Morgan were his great-grandparents. My research turns up one offspring for Thomas and Molly, a girl named Catherine Augusta (b. April 25,1823 in Chelmsford.) If John were a son to Thomas, there is a connection back to 1610! ( A John Lovett who was married to a Mary Grant.) I would love help connecting John to Thomas! Thank You so much!!! Judy Dorsett  edorsett@msn.com 16 July 2002 Are there any Broughton's left in the Essex area. My GG Grandmother was Elizabeth Stuart Broughton, daughter of John Broughton, son of Nicholas Broughton, all from Marblehead from the middle 1700's to late 1800's? Jim Merriam JMer180468@aol.com 16 July 2002 I am trying to locate descendants of the siblings of James Griffin HUGHES, my great grandfather. Edward, Michael, and John were his brothers; Mary Catherine was his sister. I have a fragment of a letter to one of my aunts from Mary Catherine's granddaughter, whose name I do not know. Mary married John FLANAGAN. Edward married and had two children; I do not know his wife's or children's names. One of the older brothers remained unmarried, and the third married but had no children. John is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Dover, NH, as are his sister, Mary (Mrs. Peter CONNELLY) and other members of the family. James fought in the Crimean War in the British cavalry at the age of 14, later immigrating to the US when the British authorities pursued him for his Irish freedom activities. Upon arrival in the Us, via Boston, he temporarily lived with his aunt , Mrs. DORAN, in Amesbury. Later, he fought in the Civil War in Battery F of the 5th U.S. Artillery, Second Division 6th Corps, Army of the Potomac. any help or clues will be deeply appreciated. I live in rural Oklahoma, not the best place to be for genealogical research in Massachusetts.

Thank you very much Jane Ann King Thebigking@msn.com 28 July 2002 My mother and I are going to attend the Colby family reunion in August and plan to come to visit Amesbury, Newburyport August 19-20. we have records back to Ebenezer Colby born in 1788 and are trying to prove the earlier generation. Family history indicates that this Ebenezer was the son of John Colby who was a Baptist minister in New Hampshire. John should be the son of Ebenezer Colby and Mary Chase. We are hoping to find proofs or at least clues on this trip. Any suggestions of where we can go to look? Pat Archer patarcher@juno.com 28 July 2002 Hi to all on this list! Looking for information about Joseph and Elizabeth Johnson who lived in Haverhill MA in the late 1800's. Joseph Johnson was born about 1795 place unknown and he lived later in Nova Scotia where he married Sarah unknown last name. they had a large family most remained in NS. In about 1850+ he "ran off" with Mrs. Elizabeth Adams. she was born Elizabeth Christie in Barrington NS in about 1823. She married Charles Ezekial Adams, he had one son and the left her family. Joseph and Lizzie apparently went to Haverhill MA where they "married" and lived until he died year unknown. Elizabeth Johnson died 23 jan 1900. I expect they are buried in Haverhill. Are there cemetery inscriptions of the older Haverhill area graveyards? Town directories from 1860-1900? Town census information 1860-1900 about them? Any Haverhill area Johnson family researchers? Would anyone who has any information about either of them kindly help? Thanks for this Michael Christie   mchristie@ns.sympatico.ca 31 July 2002 Looking for any information about the BRODERICK families living in Lynn from the years 1890 to 1920. My great grandparents, Mathew and Bridget Broderick, lived in Lynn, attended St. Mary's Church and are buried in St. Joseph's cemetery. Mathew was a lineman with the B, RB & Lynn RR. I see from the Lynn City directories that there were several other Broderick families. Would like to be able to connect the families with new information. Jeanne Sandford JPSANDFORD@aol.com
