Samuel STEVENS

I am researching Samuel Stevens of Amesbury who married Rachel Heath of Hampton on Nov 16, 1704. I have recently discovered that John Foote of Amesbury gifted 18 acres of land in Amesbury to Samuel Stevens in 1705/6, who he referred to as "beloved cousin" [copy of deed from Salem Archives]. I have also found the deed in which Samuel Stevens sells that land and Rachel, his wife gives up her dower rights.

I am trying to determine the relationship between John Foote and Samuel Stevens. One path that I am following was sparked by one on-line source who lists John Foote's wife as Bathsheba Stevens (most references cite her surname as unknown). If so, perhaps Samuel Stevens and Bathsheba were related. I am looking into both the possibility that they may have been cousins or that Samuel may have been Bathsheba's illegitimate son.

I have discounted that this Samuel Stevens is of the Andover, Salisbury or Gloucester Stevens lines but have been totally unsuccessful in finding anything about his antecedents. My husband is descended from Samuel and Rachel Heath Stevens son William through William's first born son, Parker Stevens Sr.

Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

THOMAS HARDY 1605-1677

At one time I read that Gov. Winthrop came to America with 5 or 6 servants and one was named Thomas HARDY. I believe this may well be the Thomas HARDY who accompanied Winthrop Jr. to Agawam in March 1633 and became one of the original founders of Ipswich.

Has anyone seen this and know where it can be found? also, are Gov. Winthrop's journals/diaries fully published and where might they be found?

Thank You

WILLIAM H. ROWE

William H. Rowe, born 26 May 1815, in Gloucester, Essex, MA, married Charlotte Webb 7 July 1839, in Nova Scotia. They had several children: William Henry; Albert E. born 2 September 1844; George Franklin (may have died young); George F. born 22 August 1848; William D. (birthdate unknown).

I am seeking the death dates or obits of William H. Rowe and his wife Charlotte (Webb) Rowe. Mrs. William H. Rowe was living with her son William D. Rowe in Gloucester, MA - the Rowe Family Bible was in her possession in 1920, and would like to hear from whoever has the Rowe family Bible now.

CONRAD & GERTRUDE SEIBEL

I live in Portland, Oregon and am looking for information on Conrad & Gertrude SEIBEL who lived in Lynn, Essex, MA. I found them on the 1930 census, living in Lynn City...he was a "chipper for iron work" at a electrical appliance factory. Conrad Seibel was born in Brunnental, Russia and came to the Us in 1912 from Russia. He married Gertrude about 1924, and they had a son, Conrad Seibel Jr born about 1925. They lived at 27 Wyman Street in Lynn in 1930.

Gertrude Seibel died May 1981 in Lynn......Conrad Seibel probably died before Gertrude. I need any information about this couple.....when did Conrad die? Where are they buried? Can anyone get me obituaries for both of them?

Any help would be appreciated,

Sherrie Stahl
