New England Genealogy Notes

Seventh Generation (Continued)
121 Rhoda WYMAN13, GGGG Grandmother. Died in Bedford, Massachusetts, on 28 Sep 1815.

Could this be the Rhoda Wyman at http://www.wyman.org/html/d0008/g0000069.html#I1241 born 1768 at Woburn? FamilySearch also lists a Rhoda Wyman born 1 Feb 1784 at Burlington, said to be daughter of Nathan Wyman.

122 Asa BURGESS27, GGGG Grandfather.  Born on 4 Apr 1795 in Harvard, Massachusetts. Died in Ayer, Massachusetts, on 5 Jul 1888.

According to the Shed Genealogy27, "ASA BURGESS, b. in Harvard, 4 Apr. 1795, was a farmer there and in Ayer, Mass., where he d. 5 July 1888. He m. at Boxborough, 26 Nov. 1817, LYDIA WALKER STEARNS, b. there 6 Dec. 1791, d. in Harvard 9 June 1858, daughter of David and Miriam (Walker) Stearns." Details about their third child, Asa Simeon Burgess and his descendants follows. The full set of birthdates of Asa and Lydia Walker (Stearns) Burgess' children given here is from Skeate7, who shows daughter Miriam Walker being born six months before her parents' marriage. Peter Parkhurst13 believes Asa Burgess lived in Brookline, Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire.

He married Lydia Walker STEARNS27, GGGG Grandmother, on 26 Nov 1817 in Boxborough, Massachusetts.

They had the following children:
i. Miriam Walker (1817-)

Would love to hear what you come up with on this Thomas Cummings (the third?)
and his wife Elizabeth. It seems Mooar or the American DAR has mixed two
Thomas' together, Thomas who married as his 2nd wife Lodema Blanchard and was
the probable son of Stephen Sr. >Abraham Jr.>Abraham Sr.>John>Isaac and Thomas
who married a Hildreth. Thomas prob. son of Stephen Sr. died in Troupsburg,
Steuben Co., NY. Thomas called the III may have also been in the area (a
monument erected to him as a Rev. Soldier) but by all indications he may not
have been there and Deerfield but PA not NY was where Thomas prob. son of
Stephen Sr. was residing for a while.

I think Am Rev. pension records may have been inadvertently combined and a
cause to this confusion.

Kind regards.

They had the following children:
i. Jeremiah12
ii. Hezekiah12
62 iii. Thomas (1782-1865)

125 Elizabeth (Mary?) HILDRETH12, GGGG Grandmother. Born ? 1765. Died ? 1843.

The identity of Thomas Cummings' wife is uncertain. If Mary rather than Elizabeth is correct, then Mary's parents are Ephraim Hildreth and Elizabeth (French) Hildreth.12 Birth and death dates given here are for Mary, not Elizabeth.
