HELLO: First I'd like to mention my RESTRICTIONS:

1) Because of New England weather, I will only visit cemeteries in the spring or fall (other times weather permitting).
2) I request that an EXACT location of the gravestone be told to me. You must find that out yourself. (If it is a very small graveyard, I will try to find the stone.)
3) I will only visit a cemetery which is in a 20-minute drive from my home. I will definitely not drive over 30 minutes to get there.
4) I usually use a one-time-use camera and have the film developed, and scan/send it to the requestor. I do not have an expensive Digital camera.
5) I will do more volunteering as time permits; so please don't put a time limit on your quest.

Betty


P.S. I'd like to mention my great-grandparents and where they came from.

John "Stanley" LEWIS and Mary Elizabeth CORKILL were born in Liverpool, England, ~1860. They came to Canada ~1875 as "British Home Children, married there and came to Massachusetts in 1881.

George "Sanford" KIDDER and Louise Wellington RICE were born in 1870 and 1876, one in Maine and one in Massachusetts. They married in Maine and lived in Massachusetts. Louise was part of the long-standing HUTCHINSON families in Winchester, MA.

Mrs. Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG is my "educated guess" for being the birth-mother of my grandmother. She was married with a young son, and I believe she had a child out of wedlock in 1889. Her parents adopted that girl while in Massachusetts; they were John DEXTER and Mary Anna CLARK.

William KERR and Elizabeth HANNAH met near Boston, MA. William had been born in Canada; his KERR and HENDERSON grandparents had arrived
