Redemption of Captives

Raid on Hatfield. Extensive Mormon Genealogy Offers a Limited Vision of History. Mormons think as hard as, probably harder than, anyone else in the world about what it means to keep facts alive, or at least to keep them accessible to the living, and the phenomenon they have built out of granite, microfilm, machines, and software is as mind-bogglingly ambitious for our century as the flying buttresses and gargoyles of Notre Dame were in the twelfth century.

Extensive Mormon Genealogy Offers a Limited Vision of History

Even as a large branch of American genealogy sheared off at the turn of the twentieth century into a mad eugenic scheme to reshape the human race, the Mormons got on with their mission to gather and share records. Around that time Mormons whose ancestors had come from Europe could find out about their forebears only by traveling back to their home countries and transcribing whatever information they could find. As a way to assist its members, the church began to send representatives to locate collections of records, copy them all, and bring them back to Utah.

The idea was magically appealing. Compton Castle - Visitor information. Easter holiday fun Don't miss the perfect opportunity to bring your family to Compton Castle over the Easter holidays.

Genea-Musings: Happy 200th Birthday, Cousin Abraham Lincoln

He was descended from Samuel Lincoln, an early settler in Hingham, Massacvhusetts Bay Colony in the 1630's. I looked on Rootsweb WorldConnect to see if I could a well-sourced database containing Abraham Lincoln's ancestry. There were quite a few entries for him, and several seemed to have more information than some of the others.

But I could not find any that I "trust" there. There is a nice looking ancestral chart for Abraham Lincoln here, but I don't know how "right" it is. My next stop was to look in the book Ancestors of American Presidents, compiled by Gary Boyd Roberts and published by the Carl Boyer 3rd, Santa Clarity, California in 1989 (the preliminary edition, revised). The couple that caught my eye in the book were #142 Obadiah Holmes and his wife, #143 Katherine Hyde. 1. 1. User Home Page Genealogy Report: Ancestors of Paul Edgar Turner.

Benjamin Waite was born about 1645, and on 8 Jun 1670 in Hatfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, married Martha Leonard, daughter of John Leonard.

Benjamin Waite

Benjamin died on 29 Feb 1704 in Deerfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts. His early history is not an open book, in fact I have never seen anything in print that would shed much light upon his parentage. No one ever speaks of him as an original emigrant from England. We first hear of him about 1664 at Hadley and later at Hatfield. I am not aware that anyone has ever undertaken to mention his place of birth or his parentage. – Martha (Leonard) Waite.

– Martha (Leonard) Waite

Weber. Martha Leonard was born in 1649 into the very young Springfield settlement, experimenting with a go-it-alone, do-it-yourself sociocultural environment, when fathoms of shell beads were current, Sabbath was six hours of public worship, and winter was a fierce season of ill-preparedness that filled that space of time between the chilled flames of the hills of autumn and the green-grass-blaze of balmy spring. How Martha met and married Benjamin Waite is evidenced only by the marriage date recorded in Springfield, 8 June 1670. Ben took her to the house he had built a little north of the stockade in the west side settlement of Hadley on the of the Great River, where he had located seven years earlier.
