Re: Amadon's of New Hampshire
Jack, Were you able find anything out about Sarah Thurber? Is the spelling of Johns last name Amidon, Amadon, Amidown(e)? I have found John Amadon being Phillip and Eunise's son being married to Sarah. John having a son John French Amadon who was married to Abigail Kimball. Are these the same John's? Maybe the different spelling being different familes? I am stumped after finding your post. I would appreciate any light you can shed. The following comments do not mention Sarah at all. Thank you, Kelly Moore

Re: Amadon's of New Hampshire
Hi Kelly, the Amidon/Amadon etc.. name has changed many times over the years it started as Amadowne in 1600's when Roger came to America... the two that I seem to follow in the last 100 or so years are Amidon and Amadon .. Amidon is almost most always the American spelling and the Amadon is the Canadian spelling. John Amadon ( My Great-Great-Great Grand Father) is the son of Phillip & Eunice Amidon. John - Phillip's son lead a party up to Canada from New Hampshire; in that party was the Thurber family. When in Canada John wed Sarah Thurber (not sure what happened to his American wife Roxanne back in New Hampshire) They John & Sarah had nine children(?) John French Amadon (My Great-Great Grand Father) was John and Sarah's (second born son) he married Abigail Kimball, they had 16 children, their 8th child, Oliver Pond Amadon (my Great Grand Father) married Charlotte Forbes they had four children , their only son is my Grandfather William Henry Amadon ...William moved to Massachusetts in 1919 .... William's children are Amidon's- the name changed back to the (Ami- spelling). is this any help?? Jack

Re: Amadon's of New Hampshire
Kelly, your Great-great grandfather Harley and my Great grandfather Oliver are brothers! I can fill in your holes. I have our line back to the first immigrant to America Roger Amadowne. I have him as John GordonAmadon married Edith Pear Carpenter. He was born in New Ireland Quebec, died 1907 in Lyndon, VT. they had three children. Jack

Re: Amadon's of New Hampshire
This is INCREDIBLE!!!! Yes, John Gordon and Edith Pearl had a son, Kenneth Earl. Kenneth is my grandfather. Kenneth married Marian Flanders. Gayle Louise, their daughter is my mother. Now that it looks like I can explain the back and forth to Canda, I should be able to fit the pieces together. I have seen the name Roger Amadowne in a number of texts but all the spellings kept throwing my off. So, if our great grandfathers were brothers, what does that make us? I am sorry, I never really understood the whole twice removed, second cousin on your mothers side. lol. I am glad to meet you Jack. It was shot in the dark that I even posted to you, let alone to find out we are related. I am so excited. Thank you Kelly Moore
