Ebenezer Rider married
Thankfull Sylvester d/o Joseph in 1725/6, in Plymouth, MA.

In researching this line I have seen reference to "The Nellie Rider Papers" my
source, Fremont Rider, describes 'The Papers' as "A genealogy of the Cape Cod
branch of the Rider family from Samuel (1601) to about 1915. By Nellie Rider
of Providence, RI. Handwritten manuscript in 3 loose leaf notebooks, deposited
in the Library of the New England Historical & Genealogical Society." I have
written to NEHGS and they tell me 'The Papers' are not part of their
collection. I even wrote a second time after rechecking my information. The
answer was still NO.

Is anyone else descended thru Thankfull & Ebenezer?
Has anyone used this collection?
Does anyone know where it is?
Could those of you in the East put it on your list of things to check next
time you are at the libraries in your area?

I hope that someone has used this manuscript or can locate can help me locate
it, it seem to cover a missing link in my documentation.

Thank you,
