Time to review what I thought I knew about Robert Forscutt and his sister Elizabeth. The family wedding (from which I have a photo showing Robert) took place in the September quarter of 1902. My great aunt, from whom I obtained the photo, was not born until 1904, so she could not have been present at the wedding. On the other hand, she would have known many of the family members who were there. Eileen's mother did not die until 1953 and her sister was alive until 1973. Eileen could have been tol

Charles is the third child of Edwin Lee. As in the blog about Edwin he didn't show up in any Federal Census until the 1870s. He was married to Elizabeth Van Norwick and they lived in Binghamton NY. He was an Engineer but I'm not sure which railroad company he worked for while in New York.
He had two daughters born in New York - Alice and Sadie Feiam. Alice was born in January 1876 and Sadie in 1881.

The current church building itself was built in 1769 and still serves an active congregation and a large part in the Derry community activities.

I first met the Forscutt family more than forty years ago when I began my interest in family history. My grandmother knew that her mother's maiden name was Forscutt. She thought her grandmother was named Elizabeth, but couldn't remember her grandfather's name. She knew her mother's date of birth, so I obtained her birth certificate and discovered she was illegitimate. This was not something a teenage boy wished to discuss with his Victorian grandmother, so the certificate was quietly placed in a

The Batchelder name is liberally sprinkled over New Hampshire. There are eight Batchelder/Bacheller families listed in the white pages for the Londonderry area. There are Batchelder Roads in towns from Hampton, to Strafford, to Raymond, to Nashua. The first Batchelder immigrant to the New World was the Reverend Stephen Batchelder, born in 1561, who was a founder of Hampton, New Hampshire.
There is a huge red genealogy book labeled “Batchelder Batcheller” available on the shelves of many libraries
