March 2002 I am searching for the PARENTS of a Joseph
D. Moody who married Sarah A. Brewer in May of 1841 Ipswich, Essex Co., MA.
According to the IGI, they were married at the First Congregational Church in
Ipswich. (they cited sources as VR's and this church).
Joseph Moody's birth is undetermined at this time, but I do
know that he and Sarah had a daughter named Susan D. Moody born Sept. 1841.
(same year they were married according to VR's). then I lose track of them until
the 1850 Ipswich, Essex Co., Ma CENSUS. It shows Sarah MOODY living with her
parents John and Hannah BREWER in Ipswich along with children: Susan, William
(born 1843 MA), James (born 1845 in MAINE) and Daniel Moody b. 1849 also in
Maine. Daniel is my 3rd grt. grandfather and he was only 9 months old at the
time of the 1850 Census.
I am suspicious that Joseph ~may~ be the son of Daniel Moody
b. 1781 Salisbury (son of Samuel Moody) and Jemima Stevens of Salisbury, Essex,
Co., MA who moved to Cornville, Somerset Co., Maine. They had a son named Joseph
who was born in 1820. I hope I have provided enough info and covered all
backgrounds to hopefully get results from someone here.
Any help on this would be Very Much appreciated as I have no
access where I am to Essex Co. VR's etc.

Hi,
I am researching the LULL family of Essex County. They were in Newbury &
Haverhill in the early to mid 1700's. ANY information about them would be
appreciated but in particular, the parentage of JOHN LULL who married JERUSHA
MERRITT before 1763. Apparently they moved on to Ware, MA, as the only child I
find for them was born there in 1763.
Thanks

15 March 2002 My wife's family of BLOODS have a long
lineage. It appears that about 1635 one of her relatives married in Concord, MA.
A large family was started. I wish to document those folks so I need a
researcher to locate records, etc., for several people. I would like to have
verification of births, marriages and deaths. It appears that Bloods were in
Concord at least till 1725. That's a lot of years!
What do you think? I look forward to our e-mail's.

March 2002 I am doing an extensive search of the VIVIAN
family that came to Essex County from the Belgrade/Vassalboro area of Maine in
the mid-1800's.
Wilmot W. Vivian, a carpenter, is first in the Salem
Directory in 1850 and died in May 1899.
Joseph Vivian appears briefly in 1859, shortly after his 1855
Salem marriage to Charlotte Garrett Tiplady. I believe, but am trying to
confirm, that he may be the same Joseph Vivian who married Dinah Wyman of
Belgrade, Maine in 1814 and by whom he had several children, including Willard
S. Vivian.
Willard S. Vivian (c 1827 - 1885) married (1) Caroline R.
Garrett May 1855 and (2) Martha Sargent Tucker (1833-1918), the daughter of
Lydia Riggs Sargent and John Tucker of Gloucester, February 1865. Willard and
Martha lived in Gloucester most, if not all, of their married life.
Any information that people can share with me about any of
these Vivian's, or other members of their family, would be greatly appreciated.

March 2002 I am interested in obtaining the names of
genealogists who might be willing to do some research in the Ipswich area. I
know that Captain Ephraim Gibson lived there. It is said he died of smallpox
while his ship was in the British West Indies. His widow, Joanna Wood Gibson,
the married Joseph Raynsford of Canterbury, CT. in 1752. I cannot spend a large
sum on this, but also cannot get back there, and macular degeneration would keep
me from being able to look anything up, anyway. Would there, for instance, be
archives containing the names of Sea Captains who sailed out of that area? Is
there a possibility there would be newspaper items from that era? Any guidance
you can give me would be so very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
