Thanks John for your help. Kitty's link was very interesting.  Some of the sources I have used but there are a few I haven't used yet.  What you could help on is I have a few lines that need research.  If you like to research you can try one of them.  For Instance one of the Hickling girls Mary Hickling married a William Burton in Boston and then disappeared.  Mary's birth date is 8 February 1746 in Boston.  They were married by Mr. Walier 1 December 1772. in Boston.  I have nothing on William. Mr. Wailer is  a minister but I don't remember which church. See what you can find.
