I have a Cornelius Thayer who married Abagail Hayden in Braintree, Norfolk Massachusetts and I have Darlings from the same area but my Darling family went to Mendon, MA and later went to Gloucester, Providence County, Rhode Island. I have an English born Mary Ann Pementor on my Fathers side who married William Malcolm from Aberdeen, Scotland. I noticed another blog post with Darlings and Thayers living across from another. I heard family rumors that there was a Thayer Darling from Rhode Island. Does that ring any bells?
Hi – please note in my “Books” tab a link to an excellent book on the Darlings which also has a section on Thayer. Yes, those two families were closely connected. The towns of Mendon, Mass. and Gloucester, Rhode Island are close to each other.
Good afternoon. I just recently started to research the genealogy of my family. I was able to get as far back as William P Arnold who was born in Rhode Island in or around 1800. I do know that he was married to Almy G Arnold and had 5 children Benji I, Harriet J, Ann I, Thomas and William B (who would be my great-great-great grandfather). William B appears to be the last member of my family to be born in Rhode Island (the family later moved to Illinois and then to California).
I am hoping you can direct me to some resources that I might be able to go even farther back than William P Arnold. It is my belief that he is a direct descendant of William Arnold (of Illchester, Somerset England) who was a founding settler of Rhode Island. I just need a little nudge in closing that nearly 200 year gap!
Jerome M Arnold
[note to readers: I've been corresponding with this commenter - if anyone is from this branch of the Arnolds, let me know and I'll pass his email on to you -- Diane]
William P. Arnold is my gg grandfather, so I would like to be in touch with Jerome.
Hi Tom – I have passed your message on to Jerome. All the best
Diane
Hello Diane! I would greatly appreciate the citations you mentioned. I have not read anything yet from Scott Andrew Bartley. I would love to compare notes with you once I dig into this stuff again. Thanks!!
Hi Lisa. I will send you a list off line. all the best — Diane
Hi Diane! Just checking out your website while doing some genealogy work. Noticed that you are related to Lamphere’s out of Rhode Island and Conn. I am a desendant of George W Lanphere (1786 who was born in Rhode Island) and Married to Hannah Haskins. His son, Nimrod..odd yes. was born 1817-1903 in Almond, Allegany New York and died in Bell Run, McKean co, Penn. Any of this sound familia to you?
Hi Lisa. Wow, I’ve never really met a Lanphere before!! thank you so much for dropping me a line. My gg-grandmother was Emma (Lamphere) Darling, she was descended from old George in the following way:
George Lanphere, 1638-1731 m. unknown
–> [John Lanphere, 1681-1757 m. Ruth] – unsure
—-> [Daniel Lanphere, 1705-1788 m. Catherine Prosser] – unsure
——> Daniel Lanphere, 1745-1808 m. Nancy [Tefft] – ?unsure
——–> Russell Lanphere, 1777-1855 m. Lydia Miner
———-> Russell Lamphere, 1817-1898 m. Hannah Andrews
————> Emma
I do not see your George in my tree, but I haven’t really followed all the lines that far forward. Likewise, I have no Haskins. I happen to have a completely separate line of Baldwins who lived for a while in Allegany County, NY.
I got a lot of good help on the earliest 3 generations from the four articles in The New England Historic Genealogical Register by Scott Andrew Bartley. I hope you have had a chance to explore them; if not, I’ll send you the citations. My guess is that YOUR George is a cousin of my Russell Senior; I do not believe he was a brother. Many of my Russell Jr.’s siblings headed out to New York State, but I think Russell Jr. had no interest in farming; he was a machinist. There are some BAD sources and trees out there about the Lampheres, unfortunately, and most of my line I have constructed myself, and I have a lot of holes. Would be happy to compare notes further of you like. all the best
Lisa,
I too am looking exactly for George W Lanphere of R.I. I traced my line up through Nimrod to George W and I am looking for more info.
