Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
The list has been pretty quiet for some time, this should get some
conversation going!
I have a copy of Mrs. F.H. Obetz' July 1972 work titled "Cloyes and Dagwell
Family Genealogies".
In the preface she writes about Colchester explaining that there has been a
settlement there since the seventh century B.C. She names it, but the
typing has bled into the paper, so it is difficult to read. It looks like
Canulodunium, which later became Colchester.
Apparently Peter Cloyes (Cloise) b.1539 was not born in England, but
migrated there from France during the Flemming emmigration, being born
probably in or near Cloyes, France. After settling in Colchester he
married, in 1563, Ellen Hollandt b. 1543, daughter of John and Cecily (MNU)
Hollandt. Their children were; Peter Jr. bapt. 1567, Lawrence, Nathaniel
bapt. 10th Dec, 1570, Francis, and Ellen (Helen).
She also has translations from the old English script of the wills of Peter
Cloise (Cloyes), Nathaniel Clays, and Francis Claise, amongst others. There
is also info on the Littlefield, Austen, Temple, Dagwell, and Lines families.
There's lots more info there, and it'll take some time to sort it all out.
Since the typing is, in places, so bad that there is not much chance of a
correct transcription where the ink has bled to the point of running the
letters together. I'll try to commit it to disc, and hope that the errors
will be few.
