_b._ BLANCHARD—Mary (Blanchard) married for her second husband Nathaniel
Wood. She was the daughter of John^3 (Samuel,^2 Thomas^1) Blanchard and
Hannah ——. Wanted: the birth of Mary Blanchard, the maiden name of her
mother, Hannah, and the record of Hannah’s birth, parentage and
marriage.
_c._ BURR—A certain Samuel Gault, (or Galt, Gaalt, etc.), born about
1780, married about 1810 Mercy Burr, “a Green Mountain girl,” who is
supposed to have been born about 1790. Their first child, James
Washington Burr Gault, was born in 1812, in or near Smithfield, Madison
Co., N. Y. Wanted: birth, marriage, and parentage of Mercy Burr.
_d._ GAULT—Samuel Gault was the son of Alexander Gault, a Scotch-Irish
immigrant who has a Revolutionary record. Wanted: birth record of Samuel
Gault and any information about his parents.
_e._ WILDER—The “Book of the Wilders,” p. 283, says: “There is a church
record in Northampton that states that, ‘Catherine, daughter of
Catherine and Aholiab Wilder, was baptized in 1741,’ which is all that
we can learn of his [Aholiab’s] wife.” Their children were Catherine,
Aholiab, Daniel Witherby, Samuel, and Joshua. Who was Catherine, and
when and where did she marry Aholiab Wilder?
_f._ BROWN-SHELDON—The “Index of the Births, Marriages, and Deaths,
Recorded in Providence,” p. 109, Marriages, gives: “Brown, John, and
Sarah Sheldon, Jan. 3, 1747. 1:18.” Wanted: parentage of John Brown, and
of Sarah Sheldon.
_g._ BULLOCK—Who was Comfort Bullock, born in Rehoboth, Mar. 9, 1762,
married 1st to Sybil Pierce, of Dartmouth, Dec. 19, 1784, and 2d, in
Rehoboth, Dec. 4, 1788, to Bethia Bowen? He was said to have been the
son of the Comfort Bullock who was born at Barrington in 1741 and
married to Holmes Whitman in 1768, but this Comfort proves to have been
a girl, and Holmes Whitman, her husband. The date of birth of the first
named Comfort is from family records which do not give his parentage.
B. 1.
_3. a._ MAVERICK—Was Moses Maverick, of Marblehead, a son of Rev. John
Maverick, of Dorchester? Is there any known evidence that Moses was a
brother of the King’s Commissioner, Samuel Maverick, of Noddles Island?
Moses was admitted Freeman at Dorchester in 1633 while Rev. John was
minister there, a fact indicating relationship, but I can find no
positive evidence. Savage and Palfrey did not believe that Samuel was
son of Rev. John, but perhaps some later investigator has found
conclusive evidence one way or the other.
S. 1.
_4. a._ QUINCEY—“Col.” Edmund^2 (Edmund^1) of Braintree, b. 1627, d.
Jan. 7, 1697–8. He was a Major in the 1690 Expedition. Is there good
authority for the title Colonel? Is the date of his commission known?
