Cadwalader - Guild or Parker
Looking for descendants of Emma M. Cadawalader Guild or Richard Fay Parker.
I am interested in corresponding with relatives of these individuals, specifically family names of Parker, Forbes or Williams.
I grew up in what was the one-time home of Rose Guild Parker (daughter of Emma M. Cadwalader Guild and Edwin Chipman Guild) and Richard Fay Parker in Westborough (near Southville), Massachusetts, and am interested in locating family descendants.

ALLEN, Benjamin F.
The death certificate of Benjamin F. Allen, dated 1888, says he was born in Agawam, around 1819. Agawam, Hamden County, Ma was established in 1855. On a website (forgot which one) I found a listing of obsolete names of towns.
It stated that there was an Agawam in Essex County at one time. Do you know the location of this old Essex County town and what town absorbed it? I am trying to locate his birth certificate.
Thanks

DOYLE, Arthur J.
I am doing WWII research, and I am trying to locate an Arthur J. Doyle, born in 1926 in Essex County, MA. I do not know if any of his relatives still live in the area. He was on the crew of the Belle of Boston which crashed in England in 1944 (May). the crash site has been dug out, and the men are finding personal effects of the crew. I am helping them find crew families, an so far I have found eight of the ten. If I had Mr. Doyle's complete birth date, Soc. Security could help me locate him. Can anyone help? I believe Mr. Doyle may still be living, and if so, he is the only living member of the crew left. The English are desperately trying to get in touch with him.February 28, 2006
McGrath, Patrick Joseph
I'm researching my great grandfather named, Patrick Joseph McGrath. I would like to get a copy of his naturalization papers or ship records or whatever you can provide.He was married to Margaret Alice (Gunn). I've seen his name in the 1900 census with that showing his date of birth as Mar 1859. see attached. this is the only document that I'm certain of that is correct as the names of the children and their ages; especially that of my grandfather, Thomas is correct.
I would love to know where in Ireland my ggf came from.
I also know that Patrick and Margaret are buried in St Mary's cemetery in Salem.
Please help.
