Research Notes

John and Elizabeth Corning Probate

Methuen? The old Beverly town clerk compiled family record includes notation, "Benja Corning of Methuen, being sick at Lieut. Raymonds is chr by Mr Chipman, July 21, 1746."[18] Rev. John Chipman was pastor of Beverly 2nd Church from 1715 to his death in 1775 (Historic Beverly); this record may come from that church's archives. The reference to "Methuen" is not appreciated. A search of Historical Sketch of Methuen from its settlement ... (1876), returned no results for "Corning," "Raymond" or "Rayment" (Hathi Trust).
