RAMSDELL, Hannah
I am seeking information of the parentage of Hannah Ramsdell.
Hannah married Aaron Kneeland 19 May 1774, Topsfield, MA. Hannah died 16 Jun 1844, Harrison, Maine at 88 years (I have a copy of her tombstone).
Aaron, s. of Philip and Mary (Potter) Kneeland, was born 10 Nov 1749, Topsfield, MA. Aaron died 4 Oct 1838, Harrison, Maine.
They had fourteen children: Daniel m. Elizabeth Rolf, Aaron m. Lucy Hobbs, Mary m. George Hobbs and I believe she is the mother of Hiram Kneeland by a Mr. Ross, John m. Rhoda Hobbs, Moses m. Priscilla Peabody, Ezra m. Polly Harden/Haraden. Daughter, Nehemiah, Nehemiah again, Asa, Simeon, Samuel, David Porter m. Mercy Watson, William Porter.
Any information on Hannah Ramsdell is appreciated.

JOHNSON
I am trying to find documentation relative to the children of Abigail (Carlton) Johnson who died Decemebr 14, 1873 in Haverhill, MA at the age of 71+.
I am a direct descendant of her son Henry C. Johnson born in 1827. I hoped that you might have records regarding her family. I need documentation as proof of parentage (via Abigail) for DAR registration.
I would appreciate any assistance that you can give me.
Thank you,

WATSON
My Great grandmother was Isabella Watson born on or about 1860 in Scotland. I do not know her maiden name. In 1890 she along with her 3 year old son, my Grandfather Peter Joseph Watson born in 1886 in Scotland, set sail from Glasgow Scotland to Boston. According to the ships records she was to continue on to Lawrence Massachusetts. I have noticed from viewing the 1900 Lawrence census that Watson was a popular surname at that time. I am assuming that Isabella had a relative in Lawrence. I don't know if Isabella ever made it to Lawrence, I found she later married James Gaffney in Boston and they had three children, Joseph, Wallace, and Lottie.
I realize this is stretch, but I was wondering if you have any turn of the century Watson-Scotland connections in Lawrence.
Thank you
