HINTS TO GENEALOGISTS

One of the most difficult phases of genealogical work is the tracing of a family through its migrations from one section of the country to another, for it is hard to find records which prove the connections between a family group, located in Iowa and Nebraska, and the progenitors of that family in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and, further east, in western Pennsylvania and New York state, or West Virginia and Kentucky, and ultimately the Atlantic Coast, be it New England, the Central States, or Virginia and the Carolinas. If the family be a northern one, the most difficult move to trace is that from the place of origin, say Massachusetts, to the first stop, say western New York, because it is the most remote from the present time and the group memory of it has been obliterated and the records, if any were kept, forgotten or destroyed. A hint or two, and a sketchy outline of the general trend of migration may be of use to some of our readers.

Naturally, the shiploads of emigrants from England and the Continent could not all settle in the coast towns, so we find them sifting inland throughout the thirteen colonies. Some of the families would remain in a seaport, such as Boston or Salem or Hingham, long enough to become recorded as church members and freemen and give birth to a child or two, then they would move on, hoping, doubtless, to find a less thickly populated place and acquire a larger, richer, and more fertile tract of land, as did many of the families who removed from eastern Massachusetts to northern Connecticut and New York State. Some of these Massachusetts and Connecticut people, finding their land too barren or their holdings too small to support the large families of the time, became interested in the great tracts of lands opened up in the state of the Green Mountains, then known as the New Hampshire Grants, or simply the Grants. About the middle of the eighteenth century, or, more accurately, about 1760, we notice a large migration to Vermont, especially from Connecticut and Massachusetts, with a sprinkling of families from eastern New York state.

There were two points of entry into Vermont, or, rather, two main routes of migration. The Connecticut and eastern

THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST

New York families settled first around Pownal and Bennington on the west side of the Green Mountain range, thence they gradually moved northward, up the Vermont side of the Champlain valley, spreading through Bennington and Rutland counties, up into Chittenden and what is now Franklin counties. The other route followed the Connecticut River Valley. This side of the state, the eastern side, was in the main settled by Massachusetts families, who settled first at Dummerston, Westminster, and Brattleboro, and moved northward through Windsor, Thetford, and so forth to St. Johnsbury and Newport.

About 1820, or a little before that, say after two generations, or at most three, these families again found themselves cramped for room on the rocky Vermont farms, so a large proportion of the sons began to move westward through New York state, sometimes taking the old folks with them, sometimes leaving them behind with one or two of the 'boys' to keep the old place going. This, too, is a difficult move to trace, for many families did not migrate to Vermont from the mother colonies, but went directly westward. Some of them stopped a generation, or a generation and a half, in western New York, and some of them went immediately to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Michigan (the old Northwest, as those states are sometimes called).

And to complicate matters still more, towns changed their names, boundary lines of counties were changed and adjusted, so a modern map does not show, always, the location of a place of the eighteenth or early nineteenth century. In tracing the migration of a family, it is always well to have at hand either a list of the towns that have been changed in New York state and New England, or, better still, two maps, one of the older time, another of the present day.

It is not generally known that such vital statistics of the states of Vermont and New Hampshire as are to be found in the various town records of those states have been brought together by each state respectively and are to be found in Montpelier and Concord. A trip to Montpelier will save traveling through many towns in Vermont, for there at the office of the Secretary of State is to be found an alphabetically arranged card file of all the birth, marriage, and death records. According to a state law, passed several years ago, each town clerk was obliged to go through the town records and copy out on cards, one card for each name, these statistics, and file those cards in Montpelier. The same thing happened in New Hampshire. So the Department of Vital Statistics, Concord, contains the records of this sort. But, one must remember

GENEALOGICAL RECORD

that land records, court records, probate records, and church records were not searched, so, failing to find a given record at Montpelier does not mean that such a record does not exist. For example, the vital statistics at Montpelier contains no record of the children of Salmon Soule, of Fairfield, but a deed, to be found in the office of the town clerk of that town, is signed by all the children, surviving at the date of the deed. The office of the Secretary of State, Montpelier, Vermont, and the Department of Vital Statistics, Concord, New Hampshire, will answer individual queries and search their records upon application either by post or in person. If a large number of names are to be searched, then the querist is referred to a professional searcher, whose fee is very small, generally five cents a name. * * * *

In Connecticut all of the old records of many of the towns have been gathered together at the Connecticut State Library at Hartford, where they are rapidly being arranged and carefully indexed. There is a trained genealogist in immediate charge of these records, so a query sent in by mail receives expert and courteous attention. Photostatic reproductions of any document can be procured at small cost, if desired.

* * * *

Rhode Island records have been published, but should be used with caution, for the editor did not always interpret the faded writing correctly. So, in the event of doubt, it is sometimes necessary to have the original record consulted and supplementary material compared with it for the sake of accuracy. The early Newport records were partially destroyed during the occupation of the city by the British at the time of the Revolutionary War, but the Newport Historical Society has restored as many as possible of them and has placed the crumbling pages between transparent silk.

* * * *

As the users of any genealogical library know, the Massachusetts records are quite rapidly being printed and bound in the familiar light tan cloth. There again the court, land, and church records supplement the printed vital statistics, and the proceedings of such admirably managed local historical societies as the Essex Institute and the Dedham Historical Society should be consulted.

* * * *

Maine has always been a particularly difficult state in which to do genealogical work in absentia, for there are very few published sources. Some of the local histories contain genealogical material, such as Street's Mount Desert Island.

THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST

Unfortunately most of these histories are not indexed, so it is sometimes tedious work extracting the kernel of information from them, but the true genealogist never objects to hard work, even though the results are meager. * * * *

The editor is always glad to have the results of genealogical digging made known to him. For instance, a fact of this sort is worth a note in a genealogical magazine. Some of the early probate records of Bennington County, Vermont, are at Bennington; and some of them are at Manchester. It is the only county in the state that has two 'shire' towns. Consequently, this fact is worth printing, for a genealogist cannot work successfully in that county without knowing that the record he is looking for may be in either of those two towns, and that he cannot give up the search without going to both places. Much information of this sort is handed about by word of mouth among genealogists, but very little of it gets into print, or is brought together in one place. It is the hope of the editor that this magazine may be able to publish such information from time to time and thereby increase its value to all genealogists.

* * * *

In this issue we commence the publication of the Murray Genealogy, by Mr. Wm. B. Murray, of Peoria, Illinois. Mr. Murray has been at work for several years gathering the data about his family, which he is here publishing. As a great many members of this large family have settled throughout the Middle West, it is especially valuable to us. It is this sort of genealogy that the Nebraska and Midwest Genealogical Record likes to publish, for it enables mid-western searchers to quickly establish their lines to the eastern progenitors of the families on which they are at work. Of course, we are glad to print unpublished eastern records, but we are particularly interested in records which bear upon the 'migratory families' as they may be termed.

* * * *

Another valuable contribution appears in this issue, and that is the marriage records of the Rev. George Fellows, formerly pastor of the M. E. Church at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Mr. Fellows was unusually careful to note the genealogical details, as an examination of these records will show. Would that more records had been as carefully kept. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lucia Russell Fellows, a well-known genealogist, of Salt Lake City, has transcribed them.

GENEALOGICAL RECORD

SOME DESCENDANTS OF JONATHAN MURRAY, OF
EAST GUILFORD, CONNECTICUT

By Mr. William B. Murray, of Peoria, Illinois

1. JONATHAN¹ MURRAY was born in Scotland about 1665. At the age of twenty he came to America and settled in East Guilford (now Madison), Connecticut. He was a farmer and lived a short distance north of the village in what was known as the Hammonassett district. He died 27 August 1747, and is supposed to have been buried in the old Hammonassett cemetery, where many of his family were buried. There is, however, no stone at his grave.

He married, 17 July 1688 (by "Mr. Andrew Leete") Ann Bradley, daughter of Nathan and Hester [or Esther] (Griswold) Bradley. She was born 16 November 1669, and died 1 June 1749. Hester (Griswold) Bradley was the daughter of Michael and Anne (Adams) Griswold.

	[xii.	Philo. A family tradition, well authenticated, states that one of the sons of Jehiel Murray was a
			Tory, and married the daughter of a British officer, and lived on the Hudson River after the Revolution, The census of 1790 lists a Philo Murray as a resident of Coxsachie, New York. As Philo is a name fairly common in the Murray family, it is believed that this was the Tory son of Jehiel Murray. A line of Murrays living in the vicinity of Saratoga Springs, New York, trace their ancestry to a British officer, but they do not know his name. From the given names used in this branch the indications are that they are from this family of Murrays.)
