My great-great grandmother is Martha Ma...Hi Sally,<br /><br />My great-great grandmother is Martha Mailman. Her son, Francis "John" Gibbons was my great-grandfather. He married Nellie Ryan from Boston in 1903; they were actually married in Lynn, Mass. They moved to Brockton, Mass. where their daughter Isabelle--my grandmother--was born. <br />Martha was from William Mehlman's first marriage to his cousin, Isabelle Mehlman. She died in August of 1859 and he married Caroline the following April.<br />My e-mail address is littleangeljw@yahoo.com if you'd like to exchange information. :)Jolynn Noel Winlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186680765258462555.post-91519041738265104702012-04-04T16:39:23.187-04:002012-04-04T16:39:23.187-04:00Small world, no?

My aunt lived in Gloucester - I wonder if she knew of the Mehlmans living there? I believe Minnie Mailman Mack (daughter of William [John?]Mehlman/Mailman and Caroline Robinson/Robertson)had a sister Martha Mailman who came to the US first as Martha Gibbons, with husband and children, and lived in Boston. I would love to compare notes with you!<br /><br />SallySally Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12063666949209871860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186680765258462555.post-73107533702225331052012-04-04T16:27:51.383-04:002012-04-04T16:27:51.383-04:00Hi, Johann Carl and Dorothea are my original North...Hi, Johann Carl and Dorothea are my original North American ancestors. My Mehlman decedent left Nova Scotia before 1850 and settled in Gloucester, Ma. where my family continued in the Atlantic fisheries through the 19th century. There are at least four Mehlman men listed on the Gloucester fisherman memorial. In my lifetime, my grandfather Mehlman 1893-1970 could still speak some German. We spell our name Mehlman and pronounce it with a silent 'H'.<br />Sincerely,<br />Steven Mehlmanfloridamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150364202964667788noreply@blogger.com
