Hi! I am also a descendant of Daniel Webster,specifically a cousin. I descend from Thomas Webster, Sarah Brewer, and Ebenezeer Webster. I also descend from the Bachelders. I guess that makes us related as well. I will let you determine the exact nature of the relation, but it is nice to meet you! :)

Hi Heather-- I remember that movie, even though I was only a kid Yes, Rob Lowe is very easy on the eyes, isn't he?

I have had a crush on Rob Lowe since I first saw St. Elmo's Fire. I haven't yet watched his episode, but you have me intrigued. Thanks for the write up

Hi Leticia! Doing fine thanks, and hope you are too.

Ryan, yes, this was a great surprise. Wasn't expecting that! Glad to hear that it worked for you too. I didn't try Massachusetts, but I guess you did, huh? It'll be up soon, I'ms ure. I know that Lowell is your main town of interest, but it was big even back then, and going through the enumeration districts would be a pain!

Hi Karen - it's good to see that the '40 census is beginning to get indexed! Thanks for the Family Search tip - it worked for NH. I can't wait till they get Massachusetts up too.

I just posted about Rev. Bachiler, our mutual ancestor, at this blog post http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/05/founders-park-hampton-new-hampshire.html There are photos of the memorial to him at Hampton, NH.

Karen K comments on James W. WINSLOW enumerated twice-- twice

Hi Elizabeth, great to see you! Sorry I haven't come by your place in awhile... just started a new job, and it's keeping me very busy.

Wow, your McAlpin ancestors seem to have been pretty comfortable to have two homes, ha. I don't think my people owned even one home... from census records, most of them seem to have rented.

I did find a James W. Winslow in some Newburyport city directories for the 1880's, but unfortunately this still doesn't tell me anything as far as confirming whether or not he's my ancestor. And I'd love to know if he and his family had actually moved in with Sophronia or not. If they did, they must have been having financial problems or something. If Sophronia was sick, which is another possible reason, then I would think she would have moved in with them and not the other way around. Ah well...
