I would be forever in your debt if you could give me any information of my 3rd great grandparents:

John McHugo, born in Ireland in 20 Jul, 1924. Died 27 March, 1887 in Colchester.

And

Winifred Ward (McHugo), born in Ireland abt 1830, dies at age 80 in Clochester on 1 Aug, 1911.

Thank you!

The Worcester Registry of Deeds bears ample evidence that many farms in "the north part" of the town, where the Scotch-Irish were specially located, and where the "Old Fort" stood in which they sometimes worshipped, changed hands in 1737 and in the years immediately following. John Gray, for example, and each of three sons of his, made significant conveyances of land in Worcester in that interval; and it is quite noticeable that the name of John Clark, the first to sign the petition to the town of Worcester for exemption from church taxes in behalf of himself and fellow signers, stands prominent a couple of years later among the first settlers of the Scotch-Irish town of Colerain, fifty miles to the northwest of Worcester, so named from the old Ulster town on the Bann. The Morrisons, Pennells, Herrouns, Hendersons, Cochranes, Hunters, Henrys, Clarks, McClellans, McCowens, Taggarts, and McDowells, many of whom had been previous settlers in Worcester, were the chief families in this frontier and Presbyterian town, now on the border of Vermont.

George Bruce

HGS46 — 2009-11-14 17:32:23Z

Trying to trace what happened to George Bruce b. 21 Jan 1868 Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Mo. Mary Ann Bruce aka Lawrie. On 2 Dec. 1890 he married Mary Wright. In 1901 Census in Aberdeen he was described as - 33, railway carter. George Bruce arrived in US in 1905. He signed up with Canadian Army in WW1 and at one point was billeted back in Aberdeen, very close to his family home - a photograph records George and Mary at this point. He was described as alive and a stone polisher in his son Alexander’s marriage certificate in 1922. (In the 1930 USA Federal Census there is a George Bruce, 44, bo. Abt 1886 Scotland as a Lodger at Barre, Washington, Vermont - but no knowledge if this is same person. The age is wrong.) The family who remained in Scotland have no knowledge of what happened to him.

Sacramental Records of Father Daly, Early Missionary

bobberry1956 — 2009-11-02 21:32:21Z

One of my ancestors was born near Keene, NH ca. 1848. His birth predates establishment of Catholic parishes in that region. There was a missionary priest, Father Daly (John B. Daly, I believe), who served parts of Vermont and, eventually, Southwest NH during that time-frame. Does anybody know if Fr. Daly's sacramental records exist and, if so, where they might be found?

Thanks.

Re: Place family

Theancestors — 2009-10-30 23:28:28Z

Great news---according to the probate record for Roswell Place, died at St. George, VT, 1872, Senara/Cinara Burt was listed in his will as his sister, which would make her daughter of Robert Place and Lucy Lincoln.

There is some other family information that I think would be very interesting to you in Roswell's will.

These probate records are free on the LDS (pilot) site:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home

You have to click on Browse collections, then click on the correct place on the map, then scroll down the page until you get to the listings of databases and look for Vermont Probate files, then search for the person you are looking for.

Good luck, and hope this was helpful to you.

Scottish Glovers

denisglover — 2009-10-30 21:10:54Z

I've been tracing my Glovers in Northern Virginia in the 18th century and having modest success although there were lots of Glovers there, but none proven to be mine. DNA indicates that they were of Scottish descent, probably via Northern Ireland. I'm wondering if the Vermont Glovers were related to the Virginia ones, and if they came somehow from Scotland to New England and for some reason mine came from there to Virginia. Any thoughts.

Thanks for the info. I haven't been to Granville, N.Y since I was about 4-5 years old in the 1930's But some of y father's family from Windgap had settled there and there were quarries nearby-perhaps for slate like the closed Victoria quarries near Windgap. Windgap, Ireland is an interesting place, near the Celtic crosses at Ahenny

Re: IRISH QUARRYMEN IN VERMONT

JNichols7769 — 2009-10-27 17:21:24Z

Granville, NY is not near Barre, VT. Are you thinking of Graniteville, VT which is a village in Barre? There is also a Granville, VT in Addison Co., VT which would be some distance from Barre.

Re: IRISH QUARRYMEN IN VERMONT

thomasmillea — 2009-10-27 16:06:17Z

Read your post on Windgap and vermont quarries. My father (Edward Millea B.1888) and uncle (James) were from Windgap. My uncle worked at Victoria Slate mines in Windgap. I visited there about 3 years ago; the quarries are all closed and fenced off. Uncle James had a letter of recommendation from his foreman at Windgap. Both brothers went on arrival in U.S. to their older sister (Minnie Biggs)in Grandville, N.Y. near the Barre quarries in Vermont. They never worked in the qyarries. Came to Chicago James worked for Post Office and died in 1943. My father Ed worked for Chicago Police DFept for 33 years

I know of no way to search VT records after 1930 except to suggest you go to the local town where the item occurred. usually birth and death etc. records kept at the local level records would be kept. There are people on the VT list who can assist in this.

Is this your family?

Mrs. Mildred S. (Pappas) Soteros

PORTSMOUTH - Funeral services for Mrs. Mildred S. (Pappas) Soteros, 83, of 928 South St., who died Jan. 3, 2004, were held from J. Verne Wood Funeral Home - Buckminster Chapel, on Friday, Jan. 9, 2004, with services at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church.

Father Angelo Pappas, presbyter, officiated. Usher was Andy Bosen. In attendance were members of the church.

Burial was in Sagamore Cemetery, Portsmouth, with committal services by Father Pappas.

Bearers were Nick Soteros and George Soteros.

Re: Place family

My great, great grandmother was Sanara (records have various spellings) Place and lived in St. George, VT and dies in Westfield, MA. Her death record indicates that she was born in Hinesburg, VT but birth records of two of her children indicate that she was from St. George. She maried Buel Burt.

I believe that she was born about 1816 based on census records.

Re: John Phair

terryphair — 2009-09-19 13:44:24Z

After additional research my original post is incorrect. The info on John P was correct up to the point where I said someone confessed. That was an old family tale that is not correct. It looks like old John P did it. I also don't believe he was a half brother but brother to my grandfather Henry William as I can only find evidence of Edward Phair having one wife Mary (Preston).

This information was given to me by a descendant of ADDIE (GROUT) ROSEBERY. I noticed an earlier post on this board that said I was a SOMERVILLE descendant - and that is not true. JUDITH ADELINE (SLEEPER) SMITH was married to REV. WILLIAM CRAWFORD SOMERVILLE. JUDITH was my 2-great grandaunt. Both are buried in the GROUT family plot. JUDITH & WILLIAM unofficially adopted ELLEN (BLACK) GROUT after her parents deaths in Galveston, TX, and they brought her back to Vermont with them where she met her future husband.

I don't find any record of those two burials on "Findagrave.com," but I'm sure its not a complete listing either. I think she's just guessing. I don't know how to go about contacting her.

No, I'm sorry to say that the reunion you've cited would be of no real interest to me. I say that because I'm related to William Guy Rosebery rather than his wife, Addielou Grout Rosebery. So, they and their descendants are the only ones of genealogical interest to me. They were married in 1900, unfortunately a date following that of the reunion you've mentioned.

Rosebery; Addie's first husband, William Guy Rosebery; and/or her son, Theophilius (aka Theodore or Grout) Rosebery. I can't find anything about them other than their likely years and places of birth. William Guy Rosebery was born as William Guy Roseberry—the correct family surname spelling—7/17/1874 in IL. Ellen A. Rosebery was born in 1906 at MA, and the variously named son was born 9/1/1909 in MA. So, can you give me any other data about them?

Sue,

I think you may have found the folks for whom I have been searching. My g, g, g grandfather, Charles Rouse Oles, b 1833 in Brantford, Ont had a father b in VT. I believe his father was brought to Ont by the grandfather at a young age and that this family was a group of loyalists. I also think they were associated possibly with Brant's volunteers - but I am not sure.

There is a Gilbert Oles in the Michigan census of 1850 and 1860 who I think might be my Charles' father. I also think that Gilbert might be the brother of John Oles - famous in Brantford history. John and Gilbert were sons of Gilbert Oles - who would then be Charles' grandfather.

Does this make sense from what you know?
