Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Where Were Your 16 2nd Great-Grandparents Born, Married and Died?

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  Where did your 16 2nd great-grandparents live and die?  What are their birth, marriage and death dates and locations?

2)  Write your own blog post, or leave a comment on this post, or write something on Facebook.

Here's mine:

• Isaac Seaver (1823-1901) - born in Westminster, Mass., died Leominster, Mass. married 1851 Medfield, Massachusetts.
• Lucretia Townsend Smith (1828-1885) - born in Medfield, Mass., died in Leominster, Mass.

So my 2nd great-grands were born between 1817 and 1844, and died between 1874 and 1931.  

Births in Massachusetts (3), Vermont (1), Rhode Island (2), Wiltshire (2), Pennsylvania (2), New York (2), New Jersey (2) and Ontario (2).

Deaths in Massachusetts (4), Connecticut (4), Nebraska (1), Illinois (1), Indiana (1), Ontario (2) and California (3).

And my ancestors kept moving west - four generations later I was born in San Diego County, California.
