Coming soon will be our first Rochester Historical Society meeting of 2026 at the Historical Museum at 355 County Road, Rochester at 7:00 pm on April 15. After a short business meeting, Mac Phinney and Howie Smith will present a program on their research on where and when Wareham men fought in the Revolution. This will be very similar to Rochester men as the two towns were very close both geographically and historically. Mac will also share how genealogy provided information on his 7-times great grandfather, John Gault, a Revolutionary War Veteran.
In addition, there will be information that has been sent to me by Cornelia Dougall on the genealogical background of William Sherman, one of the Revolutionary soldiers from Rochester who is buried in the Rochester Center Cemetery.
