I am researching Amy Disberry/Disbrow/Disborough of NJ. Her family may have lived in the Hopewell NJ area. She married William Seaman, b. c. 1740-45. A clue to Amy Disberry/Disbrow's family may lie in the will of Thomas Burrows, of Hopewell, NJ, dated
1-26-1761, in which he leaves bequests to his granddaughters, Charity and Rachel Disborough, these names and others mentioned in the will are also in the William Seaman family.
A daughter of Joseph Seaman and Lydia Vaughn named Amy (Amelia), b. 1796? married Dr. Peter Q. Striker (Stryker) in Rockville, Indiana. Dr. Stryker was born in NJ, and Amelia was born in Pennsylvania. I noticed the names Stryker on one of your message b
ards, and thought the names may be connected.
Any information on the ancestry of my Amy Disberry/Disbrow b. c. 1740-1750 in NJ would be most appreciated.
This is a wonderful site, and I am sure that if there is a connection out there, this will be the place to find it! Thanks for all of your hard work!

Your site always gets better! Great job. Some big news: just checked out "new" Mercy Holbridge/Thomas Disbrow information at Latter Day Saints site: FAMILYSEARCH!! Some amazing new stuff there, accuracy not guaranteed, but SEVERAL named sources with addre
ses to check out. This "new" info includes exact dates for Thomas birth at "Eltisley, Cambridge", a named Disbrow dad from there: "James", a previous named marriage with exact date, England, year date for marriage to Mercy (1676), etc, etc (several list
d sources!). Also note one "Abigail Disbrow" listed as born 1686, Milford, New Haven, CT with our own ancestors named as parents!! What's this all about do you think? Certainly warrants looking into, if not more detailed verification check. Perhaps yo
have already done this. ENJOY, STEVE (we have e-mail now!).

Hi there! Just found this site while trying to

deceased. (My Mother is deceased, also.) I'd just like to find out the origin of the name and trace my ancestry. I'm Irish ALL THE WAY on my father's side, but always wondered about Mother's side of the family. Thanks!! :-))

Hi Mike!
So glad to have found your site on the Web. I accessed this through familysearch (LDS). Your work is great, as always. Glad to see you are also looking into Holbridge. When I was growing up there was a Mouseketeer named Cheryl Holdridge, who later mar
ied the son of millionairess Barbara Hutton (Woolworth fortune). Cheryl retired to the Aspen or Vail area, I believe. I think her father had been an officer in the service. Always wondered if there was a connection.
Two other cemetaries of note: Ashael and Abigail Disbrow are buried in Greene County, New York. And their daughter, Polly Disbrow West, wife of Benj., is buried in Raisin Twnsp Cemetary, Lenawee Co., MI. Keep up the good work.
Best, Pat Kozal

n named David. He married and had a son, David, Jr. I am married to David, Jr. I have the complete information if anyone needs it. I'm looking for cousins of this line. Thank you. Brandilyn Ruppell

I enjoyed getting the newsletter. I'm still puttering with genealogy. I am interested in finding Dr. Ira Disbro's family bible. I understand it was sold at an auction. Does anyone know if it is a member of the family that has it or a nonfamily member
hat remembered him.

Would the Disbrows in U.S. be related to the Disbrowes in Canada? I am a descendant of Henry Sharp Disbrowe who was Canon of Lincoln Cathedral, England. Please advise.

Hello cousins! I descend from Benjamin and Polly (Disbrow) West. If there is anyone else out there who also descends from this couple and is looking for the line of Benjamin West, please contact me. Three of us have been working on this for some months a

This is a great site. Also have both books and have found them invaluable. Thanks for all your hard work, Michael.

Looking forDavis and Disbrows that are related. I sure their is someone out there who can help me.
I have three great aunts Emma, Anna, and Jenny Disbrow all three from Clinton county, Ohio and married men with the last name of Davis. I believe that Emma moved to one of the Dakota's while Anna moved to Illinois and I lost track of Jenny she moved out o
Xenia Ohio around 1900 and married to a man with the last name of Davis I can not remember the first name at this time. Jenny had a twin brother, Joseph, who was my grandfather. any help you could send me would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My grandfather (Lawrence Disbrow) and his mother were abandoned by his father when he was only a toddler. They lived in east Texas but I think that he was born in North Dakota. He never spoke of his father's name and I've always been interested in findi
g out the history of my unique last name. It would seem that the Disbrows remain concentrated around New Jersey (from the websites that I've found) and there aren't any others in the state of Alaska. I'm excited about your site and what I might find the

I know very little about the family background of my paternal grandmother whose maiden name was Disbrow. I know of a sister(my great-aunt) named Alice. There may have been more siblings. Apparently the Disbrow family had resided in Michigan and later move
to Idaho. I also recall the name of Pat Disbrow who was my father's cousin (possibly Alice's son). Any links to the family history are deceased, so I'm starting out with very little information and no experience in geneology. I was pleased to find this w

Hi Michael: I am Cathy Disbrow's Aunt. Our side of the family is having our first Disbrow Reunion in Williamsburg, VA this August. I have only researched and contacted the decendents of George Ward Disbrow, which is my grandfather. For most of us, this
will be our first contact with Disbrows and for others, our first contact in 40 years.
I would like to do a Family Chart for everyone and was wondering if you knew of a good software package I could purchase which would serve our needs best. Eventually, I would like to trace further back and have received some info from my Uncle which belo
ged to my grandfather about the French connection to our family.
Will keep you informed as I go.

Hello,
I am recently getting into the genealogy of my family. My wife and I have rapidly become addicted/obsessed with the excitement. I have borrowed your two books of Thomas D. descendents. I have found it fascinating. You and your committees have don
a wonderful job. I have heard rumor of a third volume. Is this true?
I am connected via my uncle by marriage (Leon Disbro) -you know, the one in your book without the "w". His wife is my fathers sister. I wonder if I am wasting a lot of time entering data into my family tree maker. I am basically enterring ever name, da
e, specific interesting detail into my own tree. Is there something already on file with all of this info that can download into my tree? I am even interested enough to purchase my own books (though I need to recoup from x-mas first)haha. I found out a
out your website about 10 minutes ago when another Disbrow returned my e-mail. I found her on the World wide web under the entry of Thomas Disbrow. I cant wait to get in and read your pages.
Great Job,
Jeff Richards

To whom it it may concern. I have a well researched Disbrowe Family Tree. This tree predates 1500AD,in content. I believe that most North American Disbrowe families and the varient spellings decend from this lineage. The family line is clear from 1600AD f
rward with the spelling with the terminal "e", and suggest links to the other spellings.
Anyone interested in an exchange of info please contact me. I am new to the internet please bear with me. [email protected]

Mike: Two points of interest. 1= Finally saw booklet called "DEAR SISTER: A Compilation of Letters of the Disbrow Family of Yates County NY; ca 1860-64". Fascinating prime sources on a up-NY State Disbrow family from Civil War era. Published Dec '96
y compiler Marvin A Minton, 8402 Chippingham, Cordova TN 38018. No family relation, he received letters from relative who handles estate sales. Contact him for a copy, this publication should be made more widely known to your web browsers.
#2= A solution to Thomas Disbrow's "Will" we discussed, re:"heirs to Jennings estate", etc. Finally reviewed Jennings Family genealogies at CT State Library. Absolutely fascinating, but seems my ancestor David Disbrow may have indulged in wishful th
nking about a fabulous "treasure" widely discussed at turn of 19th century. Seems one WM Jennings of Acton, Eng, died with $80 million in his estate & no one to give it too but believed to have American heirs. A mad scramble over here to establish claim
to this fortune that continued well into 19th c. as my own David Ellis Disbrow would have known. Outcome of this scramble is unknown by me so far. Perhaps it was kept by Lady Howe of famous 18th c family as she made some claims over there then. Will
orward by snail further particulars on this fascinating "treasure quest"! Long time no hear; Steve Squires, 4 Storrs Hgts Storrs, CT 06268.

Hey, Mike,
I had to come to Tennessee to get on the guest book.

My mother
was Janet Macmillan. My father was William Gray Disbrow (Bill). Grandfather was Dr.
John Robert Disbrow and he had one sister who never married and her name was Mansel.
Great grandfather was Dr. William Gray Disbrow and I don't know if he had any brothers
or sisters but it seems he was a graduate of Harvard University and practiced medicine
here in New Brunswick, Canada. Other than that, we are not sure of where we come from.
I'm not too computer literate and once my e-mail is hooked up, I'll put it in this

My father, William Cook Disbrow IV, was
born in New York (NYC, I think) on August 18, 1910. He was an only child. I don't know where his father was born, though I do know they thought of their roots as being in New York. Unfortunately I don't know anything more about his background. My father w
s an only child, and his only two children were daughters. I have a Dutch first name because my father's mother was from Holland.

I am an artist and art therapist working outside of the Philadelphia area. My father, Robert M. Disbro, the son of John Disbro, a
banker from Mentor, Ohio, just died this week from a massive stroke. He was living in Naples Florida with his wife Deanne Disbro, who will now be learning to live her life alone after fifty three years of marriage. I would like to hear from anyone who may
be related in some way to the Mentor, Ohio group.

Glad to find your page. I'll keep in touch and hope to find some information on my Disbrows. Frederick A. Disbrow married Rose Estelle Lange and their daughter Elsie Eleanor Disbrow. Keep up the great work!

Hi Mike! I've found bits and pieces of printed material that elude to the possibility that widow Mercy
Disbrow/Disborough, endicted, but not hung as a witch married into the Nichols family in Fairfield Co., CT. Do you have knowledge that that marriage is credible?

I am part of a whole line of
Disbrows from the East Coast New York/New Jersey area. My father (Dave Disbrow) and brother (Stephen) live in Hackettstown, New Jersey. I went to school in Maryland,
hence where I live now. I am very strong to my roots and take after the Disbrow side of the family. My father's full name is David Ward my grandfather was Ward and was an
officer in WW2. My great grandfather up were doctors in the Newark New Jersey area. I guess my father broke the trend. I am very excited and want to hear from you as much as
possible. Check out my web site as well. Cathy

I'm looking forward to reading your site at length. I've been kicking this family tree stuff about for awhile, but haven't had a lot of luc
going back. My Disbrows moved to Oyster Bay on Long Island in the late 1800s.
The only thing I know before that is that they came from Upstate New York in the Catskills from either West Kill or Little Kill. If this rings any loud clanging bells for you, I'd appreciate a lead!http://Storrs CT

Mike, Terrific job posting my booklet ARE THERE WITCHES! Booklet is not a DETAILED history (people should go to your fine books for that), more of an odd, personal experience of history, just as you say so well. On "Holbri
ge": ran across a local family named OLDRIDGE (w/ a "D"), runs gardening business (aptly enough), in Ledyard CT. Am told they love genealogy, so we shall see. Thanks again!

My Disbrow connection is my husband's ancestor William Newdick bap. 16 Sep 1683 in Mildenhall, Suffolk, England who married Ann Disbrow (bap. 14 Apr 1671 Soham?) on 5 Oct 1707 Suffolk. Any connections?

My grandmother was
Margaret Beach Disbrow, who lived for most of her life in New Milford, Conn. which is not too far from the orginal Disbrow holdings in Fairfield. In fact, some of my relatives
with the Disbrow name live in Fairfield County. Does anyone know a source for a picture of Meeker Disbrow, born 1798?

My father, Grant Valentine Disbrow, descended from a family of Disbrows that settled
n New York and CT. My sister, Susan, and I have been
looking for links to our ancestry for a longtime. My sister linked us back to Cromwell's army. Our grandfather was also named Grant Valentine Disbrow. Apparently we have a
female link to the Revolutionary War, as well. We also traced our lineage back to the town of Disborough in England. Do the names Valentine or Thies ring any bells? Would love to think that we have lots of cousins out there, since our Disbrow name has d
ed out with our father.

My family traces its rootsback to Thomas as well. I have many documents passed down to me regarding the family. Would be interested in ordering the books on the family to see if there are any gaps my records could fill. Als
have National Archive records of Pvt. Abraham Disbro, CompanyI, 8th Ohio Vol. Inf., if anyone is interested.

Mike: The page looks good. I have to look up the Isaac Disbrough that came to Boston from Eltisley. I think
a researcher in Eltisley found he was a brother of Thomas (poss. our ancestor). I'll look for the data and send it to you. You will probably get several emails from people that are looking for NJ Disbrows and data on Thomas and Mercy. Keep up the good
ork. I am using Fam. Tree Maker too. Have same disks as you. DJLobe
