  Contoocook, New Hampshire, perhaps around 1910



MAIN FEATURE

Welcome to my work in progress. YOU DO NOT NEED A USER ID. I believe family
should have free access to their history, so nearly every detail of my four
decades of research is available to the public through this website. I have
verified any detail that includes citation to a source document: birth,
marriage, or death certificate, deed, will, census, military, naturalization
record, book or manuscript, etc. The citation points to where you can see the
source document yourself. Any detail that does not cite a source document must
still be verified, and may change. Reference to a published history (town,
church, genealogy, etc.) may also change if I find a source document which
proves otherwise. Again, YOU DO NOT NEED A USER ID. Please send any edits,
additions, or corrections using the Suggest tab on a person's detail page, or
e-mail me using the "Contact Us" link on the bottom of this page.

arrived as the concubine of the bigamist Sir Christopher Gardiner, and was made
an honest woman by Thomas Purchase of Pejepscot Plantation (now Brunswick),
Maine. Search them up and read their stories.

The Hannah Duston Story In 1697, Hannah Webster (Emerson) Duston and her
midwife, widow Mary (Corliss) Neff, and a young boy named Samuel Leonardson,
were captured by Indians and taken up the Merrimack River to be sold to the
French in Canada as slaves. Here's the story from The History of Haverhill,
Massachusetts. Two generations later, Hannah and Mary became related through the
marriage of Hannah's great-niece, Lydia Emerson, and Mary's great-nephew, Lt.
Jonathan Corliss who later died in the Revolutionary War. But this family drama
had begun years earlier with Hannah's sister, Elizabeth Emerson (1665-1693), who
was hung in Boston for murdering her twins in 1691. The father of her three
illegitimate children was Samuel Ladd, the husband of Martha Corliss, who was
Mary (Corliss) Neff's sister. Six years later, Samuel Ladd is ambushed and
killed by Indians because "...he so sour"; his son Daniel is captured, and later
becomes The Marked Man.


Names and dates are dusty stuff. I think of them as the bones, the details that
support the genealogy by linking it all together. The meat is really the
stories. Who are these people? Where did they live? Who did they know? What did
they do? Do big ears run in the family? Click on NOTES (left menu) and scan
through their stories. Click on the person's name or family number beside their
story for the bones.
