Kathy,
My husband is descended from Samuel Capen of Belchertown -- he is listed on your chart as
generation #8, a son of Dexter Capen and Cynthia Jenks. Samuel was born 25 Sep 1856 in
Belchertown. He married Hattie Lemon and they had 7 children, most of whom were born in
Belchertown. Their youngest child, Elsie, married Henry Thrasher. Their grandson, Robert
Thrasher, is my husband. We still live in Belchertown. I have checked the town records and
have found birthdates/death dates etc. on most of these people, if you are interested. I
also know the cemeteries where Purchase, Dexter, Cythia and Abijah are buried. If you
want more info let me know and I'll be glad to share.
Erika Hamilton
