Genealogical Dead Ends

As I hand off to the genealogical “player(s) to be named later,” here is my present list of dead ends– people whose parents I haven’t yet found, and who need to be researched.

This search, this attempt to put a few things in order, and keep more than a few people’s memories “green” has meant a lot to me– more than I can really say here. I wish you the best!

Gen. # Lawrence/ Brandegee family Burgin/ Swain family

  • John Skudder and Mary Russell

  • Thomas Burgin and Mary Boyce (a conjectured, still unproven, tree exists)
  • Peter Shufelt and Elizabeth Huych (or Huyck or Houck)
  • Susannah______, wife of Samuel Hall
8
  • Susanna Goodwin, wife of Robert Patten
  • Matthew Clark, husband of Abigail Rand
  • Abigail Powers, wife of William Packwood
  • Phoebe Dodd, wife of Ebenezer Byram
  • Deborah Brimblecomb, wife of James  Tewksbury
  • Fancis Lodge and Elizabeth Ellerton
  • Hannah Clough, wife of Hilton Woodman
  • John Peter Shoemaker (akak Schumacher) and Sarah Johnson
  • Mary______, wife of Abraham Sanborn. Notes for a future post: Abraham Sanborn’s will (Probate date – 23 Aug 1798, so definitely the will of the correct Abr. Sanborn, and not the other man of the same name, whose dates were , and who married Mary Jewett) is clear his wife’s name was Mary. In apparent contradiction to this, multiple online trees state his wife was Theodate Fogg, . Query: could the “Mary” of the will be a second wife?  The History of the Town of Exeter, NH, by Charles Henry Bell, 1888, mentions, on p. 82, the intention of a Lt. Abraham Sanborn – yes, there were several Abraham Sanborns in Rockingham Co., NH, but how many Lt. Abraham Sanborns? – to marry Mary Parsons of Amesbury, 31 Jul 1790. Could Mary Parsons be the (second) wife mentioned in the will? It seems worth considering. [More: On Ancestry see this record, spelling the name as Parson, no sand this record as Pearson, with the name of the groom spelled as Sandburn.]
