Hi, trying to find information on ancestor Francis Gayward (or Goward). MAY have either been born in England, or in Rochester MA around 1705. He's still listed as Gayward when he married Anna Morse (or Morss) on Jul 10 1730 in Middleboro, MA. They had 6 children with the last name Goward or Gayward, born in the Middleboro or Taunton MA area:
 
William b. Nov 29 1730
Jesse b. Feb 25 1732-33
Israel b. 1734
Francis (my line) b. Aug 23 1738, d. 1797 in Easton MA (one of the first settleers of that town)
Mary b. 1740
Marcy b. 1744
 
ANY information greatly appreciated

Hello I have sent you some information back of list due to length of it.

  • Ancestry family tree contacts and details found online today
  • descendancy lists off ancestry from the trees found

If there if further you want looking up on ancestry I am happy to oblige as I mentioned in letter off list.

Credit goes to the group not me for without the group we would not have made contact.

Managers if one of you is already working on this line & need a copy of what I have sent I am happy to oblige.

I've confirmed so far that his name is actually Francis Goward (NOT Gayward), born about 1705 in ENGLAND, he emigrated to Plymouth MA (then Plymouth Colony) in 1720, married Anna bout 10 years later...haven't been able to trace back further though...any help appreciated.

Hello once again my friend. I have done a quick check and to date the best I can do is descendants of Israel in your line:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=craighermes&id=I472

The name of owner rings a bell so perhaps we have crossed this bridge before.

I will keep checking around.
Other managers if you have other resources by all means butt in and add info
