An article on The Two Wives of Lionel Chute, published by William Wyman Fiske for NEHGS in their quarterly journal in April of 2009. Response and reactions from Chute family genealogists followed soon thereafter. Again, all Chute family members are encouraged to read and respond. Many of us have seen the record of Lionel marrying Thomasine Barker on the Family History.org website, and generally assumed that Thomasine and Rose Barker were in fact the same person. Do you think author is correct and Thomasine and Rose were in fact two different people?

For those of you with Facebook accounts, you can also find a few of us - although the list is growing - on these networks. You can join the usual babble by sending me a request (be sure and let me know which network you're on and that you're a Chute Family member) and I'll be pleased to send you an invite. You'll find a few other Chutes to chat with, and hopefully the network will grow even larger. Of course, these networking sites are not meant to replace this website, by any means, although I do use them to mention that the website has been updated.
