Primary Goals: To learn more about relatives, To identify sources of specific information
Time Period: 1700's or earlier
Looking for information on John Stewart, born 1720 in Ireland, supposedly died 11/4/1754 in Rowley, Essex, MA. He married Margaret Gilmore 11/6/1754. Though, to be honest, I dont know where those dates came from. They had, among others, a son, John born 1756 in Haverhill who died 1828 in NH. Is there any proof for any of these dates or residences? Any information, including ideas of where to look would be wonderful. Thank you.

Seeking information on the birth and parents of Daniel Abbott. He married Annice Janes( 1794-1868) in 1821 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, and I know of three children they had: George Graves Abbot (1821-1885), Mary J Abbott (1823-1863), and my ancestor Jeremiah Flint Abbott (1826-1882). I have found references to Daniel Abbott in "Vital Records of Lynn" and in records related to Jeremiah Abbott. I have seen family trees which connect him to Ebenezer Abbott and Sarah Graves, but never with any sources that support that connection. Thanks!

Hello,
I am searching for the parents & info. of my 3x great grandfather, Jacob G. Maddocks. His youngest daughter was Martha E. Maddocks, niece of Augustus & Lucretia (Linscott) Nash. Martha lived with Augustus in Lynn, Mass until her death in 1910. After her birth in CT, 1866, I can find no more records of her father Jacob. Do you have anything that shed light on her history?
Thank you
