Hi Heather!

I saw your comment on the book "THE WOOLVERTON FAMILY: 1693 – 1850 and Beyond" at wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Woolverton_Family%2C_1693-1850_and_Beyond. I'm hoping you can look up some information on Thomas Dawson (1776-1834) in the book? I'm trying to prove/disprove his children, especially a David Dawson (1806-1896). Google provides a line for reference: "The thieves sprang up and fired, killing John Wolverton and wounding the constable. ... They lived at Bryan, near London, Ontario, and he died on 6 January 1855. ... [1267] Thomas Dawson is said to have been born around 1810 in St. John?, ..." so possibly pg. 1267 or footnote/endnote 1267, if that helps to locate anything. The Thomas Dawson mentioned is actually Tom Dawson Jr. I'm looking for Tom Sr.

Thank you! Aurora

Hi Heather. A few weeks ago, as I was looking further into the genealogy of my late mother-in-law Carolyn (Riggs) Spencer, I found that Carolyn was descended from several New Sweden families. Naturally I've been delving into Craig's articles and books, and in the process I found that Craig said court records (which ones?) gave Elias Toy/Tay's full name as Elias Janssen Tay. Elsewhere Craig says Elias' father's name is unknown - but in that time and place a patronymic (whether Dutch or Swedish/Finnish) always gives the father's name. The surname Tay or Toy would be Flemish or Dutch - "du Thoy" or "du Toict" (of the barn/stable).... And yes, I'm interested in the New Sweden project.

Hi Heather - I sent you a private message in reply to your post asking about my connection to the New Sweden families. Thank you for getting in touch!

Hi Heather, thanks for the heads-up on those additional Norfolk sources. I've added them to the Norfolk Resources page, and added the volumes for Norfolk to the existing Phillimore FreeSpace page.

Cheers, Chris

Hi Heather,

According to Lucy Husted's obituary, her parents were "Calib and Phoebe". The Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947 gives Luisa (Husted) Rigg's parents as Caleb Husted and Phoebe Purdy, both born in Ohio. MRs Phebe Husted married John Champ 12 Sep 1858 in McDonough Co.

Hi Heather, I've had fun adding people to the New Jersey's founder's category.  :-) I married into the Lippincott family, so my husband is your cousin. I hadn't noticed that my tree wasn't viewable. I opened it up, so you should be able to see how you are related now. Carrie

Thanks for the additions to Benjamin Angelo-20. I feel confident that your conjecture on the baptism record is correct and you have extended my paternal line by a generation. I have long thought that Benjamin was the son of Samuel Angelo and Ann (Annika) Cock, who were married at Penn's Neck in 1724, but I had absolutely no sources, before this!

You're welcome :) Keep up the great work!
