Sorry it's been so long since I have written My Aunt has been doing a
considerable amount of research in the Jerusalem area and has added much
more to the family tree. Your info on Nancy Henderson's side was almost
right but a little out of place. Nancy's parents were William and
Isabelle Henderson. Nancyhad three brothers, James (1834-28 Oct. 1898),
Mather (no dates), and Walter(17 Jul 1829-14 Jan 1906). Nancy also had
two sisters who are named only bytheir husbands, Mrs. George Champlain
and Mrs. Shattuck. Now, here is the really cool part: Walter Henderson
married Phebe ROBESON, the daughter of Abramand Anna. So, bro and sis
married sis and bro - I supposed in such a scarcelypopulated area, there
wasn't much choice in a spouse Anywho, Phebe's datesare (1838 - 11 Jun
1889). Walter and Phebe had Clara and Annie who married Judson Carvey Jr.
and Fred Emerson Jr., respectively. Okay, now on to Abram andAnna. Anna
was Anna Hall dates- (13 Jan 1813 - 4 Nov 1875). Her parents wereWilliam
Hall and Ester Briggs. William Hall's father was also William Hall,and
his mother was Pricilla (this is Anna's grandmother). Ester Briggs father
was Peleg Briggs Jr. whose father was none other than Peleg Briggs
Sr.(1729 - 19 May 1807). The latter Peleg Briggs was one of the original
twenty-fivepeople who settled the Jerusalem area with Jemima Wilkenson
(of the Friends). I do know that Peleg Briggs Sr. was born in East
Greenwich Village, RI, inthe area of town called Jamestown. Abram
Robeson's siblings included Diana (23 Mar 1819 - 9 Jul 1898), Polly,
Rachel, James, and Joel B. Their parents were Thomas Robeson and Hannah
Lane. Hannah's father was Abram and all I have for her mother is R. Whew
Lots of info but it certainly provides more leads topast generations
