HEATH/GRIFIN
April 27, 2000 jimell@swbell.net Kendall Mellem
According to Giorgi's _Bartholomew HEATH of Haverhill, Massachusetts_, Josiah HEATH (#82 in her book) m. 1747 Susannah GRIFFIN and had 9 children, the first seven born in Hampstead. The fourth listed child is a John HEATH. Giorgi gives no further information on John, but lists him before brother Sterling (Starling) b. 1759. I believe this may be my ancestor John HEATH who married Rachel KENTFIELD 31 Jan. 1785 in Bridgewater NH. (Giorgi gives Rachel's husband as #178 John Heath b. 25 Feb 1761 in Plaistow to Jonathan Heath and Hannah Stevens. I believe this is an error.) Can anyone help untangle the two John Heaths, who were cousins?

ATKINS/ROWELL/SMITH

I'm looking for information on John Atkins parents and where he originated from. This is WHAT I know...John J (Johnson/Johnston) Atkins married in Hampstead Abigail Rowell, d/o Job Rowell and Priscilla Emerson (Was Johnson his mother's maiden name?) They had a daughter Alice b 11-20-1787 (or 9) who died 12-4-1873 and married Benjamin Smith of So Reading. My grandmother said that her grandmother Alice used to smoke a clay pipe...would this suggest her father originally came up from the south? After Alice, John and Abigail had 12 other children and ALL of them have vanished, without leaving a trace. The info re the marriage of John Atkins and Abigail Rowell came from "Memorial of the Town of Hampstead, NH" Any help/documentation would be very appreciative.

Seeking information on the Davis family of Hampstead. Remembering Molly Davis being the town telephone operator from her home in the late 40s and early 50s. She had two Nieces, one Ruth (my Aunt, recently deceased in CT) and Pricilla who still lives in the area. Would like to find Pricilla who's last name is Gatgill or Gatsgill or something that sounds like that. Any help appreciated.

MARTIVIA/MATAVA

I am looking for information on my paternal grandmothers family. We have that she, Ellen Christina Mativia (Matava) was born in Hampstead, Rockingham County, New Hampshire in September of 1892. When I called to check the records they could not find a birth record for my grandmother, but did find a record for two of her siblings, one born before her and one after her. Ellen was born to Isaac & Ellen Mativia. There is a number of different spellings that we have run into for this surname in records of family members. They are McTavie, Matava, Mativia, and McTava. Thank you for any help in this research
