BOSWORTH, BROWN, CLARKE, HOWLAND posted by Elizabeth Janssens on Sunday, April 4, 1999

Looking for William Bosworth BROWN, born ca 1810, Bosworth BROWN was the admistrator of William Bosworth BROWN'S, my great grandfather. Bosworth BROWN'S parents were Jesse and Anna (BOSWORTH) BROWN. Bosworth BROWN was born in 1785 in Rehoboth, Mass. I have nothing to prove that Bosworth BROWN is William Bosworth BROWN'S father. I thought the Probate records I had proved that Bosworth BROWN was William Bosworth BROWN'S father. If anyone is familiar with the BOSWORTH and BROWN families and know what I am needing please advise. Thank you. This is the last thing I need to become a Mayflower Descendant under John HOWLAND. Hannah HOWLAND married Jonathan BOSWORTH, Jr. I have traced all of the BOSWORTH"S from the House of Bosworth, compiled by Mary (BOSWORTH) CLARKE.

GARNZEY, GRANT posted by David E. Grant on Sunday, April 25, 1999

My uncle, Everett "Red" Mason GRANT did a yeoman's job of tracing the descendents of Joseph GRANT of Barrington, Bristol County, RI. Practically all names have sources including birth, marriage, death records, where they were born, where they were married, the minister's name, etc. However, he was never able to determine the parents of Joseph. It is believed that Joseph was born around 1711, presumably in Scotland. Rumor has it that the parents were exiles and came first to Massachusetts and then Rhode Island. Joseph was left with the GARNZEY family while the parent(s) returned to Scotland for belongings????. The parent(s) never returned. Possibly ship sank. Joseph GRANT was later married to Rosamond GARNZEY on May 10, 1740 in Barrington, RI. They had eight (8) children: Joseph, Jr. (b.8/12/1842), Benjamin (b.5/12/1752), Shubal (b.6/23/1743), Thomas (b. betw. 1745 and 1755), Ebenezer, Abel (b.1757), Abigail (b.1760) and Elizabeth. If anybody has any info relating to this GRANT line, I would appreciate hearing from you. And, of course, my info is available to you.
