Hi,
I've been on this list for a while and decided to send along information
for my missing CALKINS in case anyone else recognizes her.
My grgrgrmo Elizabeth QUANCE was b in 1828 to Thomas QUANCE and his
(2nd?) wife Mary CALKINS who were then living in S Hadley MA. The QUANCE
line came from Kingston MA, to Chesterfield MA and then to S Hadley by about
1810. Thomas m !) Hulolah - poss Huldah ---- the writing is almost
illegible. She died by 1828 when Elizabeth was b to Thomas and Mary
(COLKINS). A da named Mary Ann was b 1830 and then Thomas has a da Rachel
Hawley QUANCE b in 1832 to "Sarah". His last child, Moses, is b 1833
without the mother noted. The only name we can positively identify is a
Mary COLKINS. This is a very slim lead, but it's all I have to go on. Does
anyone recognize Mary? Was she from Wilbraham MA originally? Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
