In this way we connect ALL who are Interested in any name. If you seek infro about BROWN you will be introduced to EVERYBODY ELSE who asks about BROWN-Simple is it not.


The Code System of signing your initials (or other letters) to items in the Genealogy papers is a good system if you wish to conceal the fact that you are a Genealogist-But even then it is unnecessary -- Practically nobody reads these papers except those Interested In Genea- logy. In fact one of the leading Genealogy organs prints the Gencalogy page only for out-of-town subscribers. Those living in that city never see it.


If you desire the opinion of the Editor, or wish to call others atten- tion to your quest the Code System is O. K .; but there is no reason why you should not use BOTH SYSTEMS; double your efficiency; send your items to the Genealogy Press, and also have your Family Names Regis- tered with THE AMERICAN GENEALOGY GUILD. The newspaper gives most publicity for ONE WEEK but the Directory-Register System keeps ' your. Family Names before the Genealogy Ppubilc for years to come. Many use both systems. If you send your Code Letters we will watch for your items-or you can clip them and send to us, and we will send you any names of those interested that may have come in; or just send No., and date your item was printed. This gives a DOUBLE CHECK on your work-Doubles your efficiency at almost no cost. You save' half the stamps by the Directory Method.


There are over 1,100 names in the Directory (August 1947), and 3,000 In the Register. New books are being opened with a capacity of 10,000 names.


Always enclose a self-addressed stamped return envelope-A LARGE ONE, or two 3 cent stamps. Often we cannot send all we would like to because the envelope is too small.

VETERANS Hold on to your bonds!


Veterans! Set an example of level-headed thrift. Don't cash your terminal-leave bonds now, unless you must.


If you need the money desperately-or are in debt-that's different. Otherwise, hold on to your bonds. You'll be glad later.


Every terminal-leave bond earns inter- est at 21/2% a year. A $100 bond is worth $112.50 to you if you hold it to maturity.


So hold those bonds until you can get full interest and full value.

GGGENEALOGY - ONE BRADLEY, BABBITT


My grandmother Sally Ann Brad- ley (Mrs. Richard Drury). Mother was Sally Babbitt who according to some notes I had copied from a let-


Oct. 7, 1773; died at Northampton, N. Y., Aug. 27, 1845; mar. Dec. 13, 1798, Livia, dau. of Nehemiah and ter and a letter sent to me by Ann's Lucy (Peabody) Fitch. Member of sister, Helen Bradley (Mrs. Joshua N. Y. State Legislature 1822 and 1829. Where are they buried? Would like biographicai details. FITCII-PEABODY Patterson) ahout 35 years ago and which I uncovered shout one year ago. The record was that Sally Babbitt was born in 1804 about Nehemiah Fitch, father of the Livia above, died at Plainfield, N. Y., Apr. 7, 1822. He mar. first Lucy Peabody and second Freelove Hack- I ley. Would like all dates and pla- ces on both Nehemiah and his two wives with list of children and four miles from Rochester, N. Y. The date of her marriage to Rev. Aaron W. Bradley was about 1827 as Sally was born July 30, 1827. believe she was the eldest of four children but do not know definitely. One may have died. Where Sally dates of each. Especially desirous of obtaining ancestry of Lucy Peabody. Nehemiah said to have served in Revolution. Are there details or proofs of this? Ann was born I do not know but as Aaron Bradley was an itinerent minister or circuit rider. I remem- ber reading that his four children were born in different states (New FITCHI-VEACH OR VETCHI York, Michigan, Maryland, Illinois). I do know that Sally Ann Bradley married my grandfather Richard Drury in 1852 at Albany, Ill. She and her mother are buried there at was the Minta cemetery, Newton Twp., Ill.


I have tried through the son of the younger son of Sally Babbitt, Aaron Bradley to get some family records, but he says he has none. I To get back to Sally Babbitt. do not know whether the Roches- ter she was born near was in Mon- roe county (formed 1810 or in Uls- ter county just west of Dutchess, but I believe it was in Monroe county as Monroe was the name of the town now called Stratford, Conn., where certain Babbitts lived. Abiel Babhitt born August 9, 1766 54 Mason St.,


died Monroe 1847 (Abiel, William, Erasmus, Edward.) (See Babbitt Genealogy) whose daughter Julia (Mış. John Simms Zimmerman) was found in Union City, Mich. Also these Connecticut people kept in touch with one another, whether intentionally or not, as I have found in working on these lines and I followed others from Connecticut via Rochester, N. Y., to Union City, Branch County, Michigan.


My notes said that Sally Babhitt had a brother Inman and a Sam- uel. I have found no Inman Bab- bitts, several Samuels and quanti- ties of Sallys but not mine. I wish to get. Sally's line back and I believe we could find records in cemeteries, Bibles, etc., if we knew where to look or if some one will try and help by searching.


I have writter: to many histori- cal librarics, searched records in genealogical libraries and written other letters but I do not quite know where further to look. Elizabeth Drury. 4731 Lake Park avenue, Chicago 15, IH."

KING


I am engaged in compiling a gen- ealogy of the King family, my line descended from Willlam King who came to America in 1635 and set- tled at Salem, Mass., and I am in the ninth generation from William King of Salem,


My great grandfather was Cap- tain Paul King, he was master of a coasting vessel and his home was at Hartford, Conn., during the period that he was engaged in that busi- ness. He was married in 1791 to children were born there, about the time of the War of 1812 he migrat- jed to Western New York, our old family records show that he lived at Johnstown in Fulton county, later moved on to Cayuga county and finally in 1831 bought land near Holley in Orleans county and built a home there. He had seven sons and five daughters, the sons, as they grew to manhood migrated to Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Calif- ornia, Texas and South Carolina. My grandfather settled in Adams county, Ill., in 1835.


One son, Willlam Schuyler King went to Charleston, S. C., in or about 1821 and became the editor of the Charleston Courier. He died in 1851 and in his obituary, it says that he learned the printer's trade at Johnstown, N. Y., and describes Johnstown as being in the western part of New York but the John- stown in Fulton county is the only town of that name I can find in New York, so I presume that was where he (Paul) first settled after he left Hartford.


One son, Sylvester Paul King re- malned in New York State and in- herited the farm at Holley. I have quite a complete record of his fam- ily.


Stacy-Lydia Frost, b. June 20, 1753, in Eliot, Me., m. Wm. Stacy, Sewell, Hermon, Mary, dau, Sam- uel Sewell, York, Me., m. (1) Jos- eph Hannon, (2) Simon Frost, grand just where that Queenstown is lo- cated and what regiment Captain Buell's company was in. Henry Feb. 7, 1649. went to Illinois in 1832 and was living in Farmington, Calif. in 1871. I have a copy of your paper of May 23, 1946 and note that it men- tions Johnstown in the account of early sects in Fulton County. Is there an historical society at Johns- town that might give me some in- formation on Paul King or any of

Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada.


WEED


Want ancestry of Smith Weed, ¿ merchant of Albany, N. Y., whose two sons, Edward and Elihu, re- moved in 1821 to what is now Weedsport, Cayuga County, N. Y They built there a "basin" at the point where the mill creek enterec the Erie Canal. The settlement thu: became known as Weed's Basin, la. ter changed to Weed's Port; hence the Weedsport of today.


Said Elihu became the first post- master of the postoffice establish- ed there in 1822. Marie Lyle.

STONE


Rhoda Stone, b. 1744, daughter of John 3 (John 2 Hugh 1) and |Dorcas (Olney) of Cranston, R. I., is known by her father's will of 1759 to have married a man named Hammond, What Hammond could he be? The only Hammond with a wife Rhoda of this general area and period was Amos, b. 1738, son of Capt. Amos 3 (William 2 & 1) and Anna . (Salisbury), Amos and wife Rhoda signed a deed at Fos- ter, R. I., in 1774, and by the fol- lowing year were of Hancock, Berk'- shire County, Mass., at that time called Jerico. Amos and his son Gideon both served in the Revo- lution from Hancock. Gideon later removed to Delhi, N. Y. I am es- pecially anxious to learn when! Amos died. If he died during the Revolution, then I think his widow may have returned to Cranston and married Timothy Carpenter (d .; 1785), by whom she had one dau- ghter, Mercy; and then married third Nathan 4 Williamns (James 3 Joseph 2 Roger 1) who died in 1811, at which time Rhoda was still alive. Her daughter Mercy married Na- than's son, Nathan Jr. When Tim- othy Carpenter died, Rhoda asked that John Stone be the one to ad- minister his estate He was evident- ly the John Stone, brother of Rhoda, born 1741, who married Phebe Greene at Burrillville, and Rhoda and her last husband, Nath- an Williams, later lived in that neighborhood. I wish any further data on these Stone, Hammond, Carpenter, and Williams groups. Bertha M. Clark.
