    Hi Jeff
    Thanks for informing me about the possible link to Sir Christopher Pack. It might come in useful if I ever try to trace the ancestry of Jabez; however, I am reluctant to do that unless I can be reasonably certain that I am following the right line. Unless someone with more knowledge than I turns up, I think my only hope is to find a record of Jabez's death, burial or perhaps an obituary in a church magazine or local paper in which a birth place is mentioned. I did manage to trace the husband of another aunt that way. New records are constantly appearing online, so I might be lucky one day.
    Jabez is a rather uncommon name. It's from the Old Testament, a favourite source of names for
    Methodists of the time. Oddly, in my search for Jabez in the US, I found that the name also occurs in another Pack family in New England, very early settlers, I believe.

    Thanks again,
    Victoria

    A Tailor in 1851....
    was he the Reverend Jabez Pack of East Woodstock?, briefly mentioned in the Genealogy text of the Prince Family?

    Hi Waitabit,
    Yes, that's the Jabez who I think is the same man that later appears in various New England towns as
    the Rev. Pack. What I am looking for is proof or at least a good indication that they are one and the same. I was not aware of the Prince family genealogy. I'll check that out. Thanks.

    Dear Super Moderator

    How do I insert some Word Text into this box? To save me typing it all again?

    Thanks, Jeff, Not a Techy

    Unaccustomed as I am to answering for Super Moderators, & also not being a 'Techie' I enlisted help from some who are.

    I always 'copy/paste' bits from where-ever to there-ever, FIRST making sure there is NO copyright infringement.

    As per helpers advice, you can use Italics, u/line or colour to separate your words from included text, or [ ].

    You may think it wiser to Private Message someone if unsure about copyright status.
