Hi Eric,
I too descend from the West Granby branch of Messenger's my line goes like this:
Andrew
Edward
Nathaniel
Joseph
Nathaniel
Israel
Israel, Jr
Harlow
Edward
Raymond
Alvin
and me Alvin, Jr.
I have had a very difficult time researching the West Granby Messenger's beginning with Nathaniel..Wright's book is missing a lot of information, not to mention that she confused Israel, Jr with Israel, Sr, thus missing a generation (where I'm concerned, at least) Your best bet is to visit the Salmon Brook Historical Society, if you haven't already. Also, you might want to find a copy of the Granby Cong. Church records there..in it is some info that was not recorded in town records..I live in East Granby, so if you are close by, email me, ([email protected])perhaps we can get together and share info about our ancestors.
Hope to hear from you,
Al
