Levi G McKnight had married Catherine H. P. Elliott in Hartford, CT. From
what I learned was that he was born in Ellington, CT, and could have met his
wife in Beverly, MA. They also had two sons, Gilbert E., who was born in 1869
and died 1870. His other son was Elliot J., who was born in 1879. I don't know
who Elliot J. had married, but he did inherit his father's business. Elliot J.
McKnight had a son, Frank L., who had become the president and treasurer of the
company. The company itself had done important defense work for the government
during World War II. Hope that this information will help with the research, and
thank you very much.
I am looking for information concerning Levi G. McKnight, born 1843 and died
1916. He had married Caroline H. P. Elliott, born 1841 and died 1914. He moved
to Gardner, Massachusetts, and had served during the American Civil War. He
later formed the McKnight Machinery Works company here in Gardner, and had
become one of the most famous industries in Gardner. I would like to know what
the genealogy is on his family, as I have been compiling a comprehensive study
on the families of Gardner, MA. I am also a member of the local historical
commission, and am undertaking a project in which to re-write the last History
of Gardner, MA, by William D. Herrick, published in 1878. Thank you very much
and wish to be hearing from you soon.

All three died early of consumption,, and this may have been the fate of Erastus

I am looking for any information on Joseph
ATWOOD and Mary DERBY - ggrandparents. They had a son, Alfred
Atwood, that was born in Galveston, Texas in 1881. The 1900
census of Ellington Town has the BOSLEY family listed. Alfred
ATWOOD married Ruth BOSLEY about 1914. Ruth was my grandmother;
After they married they are listed in a 1920 census in
Springfield, MA with two children born in 1916 and 1918.
Ruth BOSLEY's father and mother, Greggary and
Julia Ann DESSO BOSLEY both died in 1907 in Somers, CT and are
buried in West Cemetery. Would very much appreciate any
information on any one in this listing. Thank you.

I am looking for the birth record for Orrin/Orin CUSHMAN. His
mother was Amelia Belandy LADD. Tolland vitals showed she married
Isreal CUSHMAN in 1838. No record of Orin appears. According to
military records he said he did not know his parents. But...the
1850 census show Isreal, Amelia, with other children along with
Orin as living in Stafford Springs possibly with a brother of
Israel. Orin's death record shows his mother as Amelia Belandy
LADD and his father as Ezra! I would appreciate anything. I know
CUSHMAN's lived in Ellington. That is why I am inquiring here.

GREATON: I am looking for a birth
record for Lee GREATON, born circa 1793. I believe that he was
the son of Nathan GREATON, who appears in the 1800 census in
Ellington, CT, with four kids and a wife. Does anyone know about
the GREATONs, or have a suggestion for where I might look? They
moved out of Ellington to Wilbraham, MA a few years after 1800
(appearing on the 1810 census there). Thanks.

I am looking for Francis R. HALL,
b. 1813 in CT, my great-grandfather. In 1839 he was in Stark
County, OH and married Hannah PHILLIPS. They lived in Columbus,
OH during the 1840's and 1850's and started a family of 10
children: Harriet, Henry B., Catherine L., Hannah F., Josephine,
William F., Clark B., Charles Burr, Grace, and Lilly May (my
grandmother). I have developed one lead in the Ellington
Congregational Church records showing a Francis HALL, son of John
HALL, baptized in 1814. Would appreciate any help in securing
more information about this Francis HALL. Was he Francis R. HALL?
Thanks.
