Tracking down his birth city:

To Do Next - Follow Stephen and Connect with Michael Dwinnell
This post will disappear when I've done it! Genealogy is an ongoing process and I just need a note here! If you happen upon this blog, keep in mind that it's not complete.
The only reason I'm so far in my Mother's lineage is because of the connection to Royalty. In this day and age, I consider the connection to be a servant/employer relationship. In 1600's England, evidently it's not that way. Still, it's interesting.
The Knorr lineage is harder to follow because there hasn't been extensive work done before me. I'm looking for primary research leads rather than secondary. I want to follow paper! :)
If anyone has any anecdotes, heresay, gossip or secondary information I would be happy to listen. Many of those sources are reliable sources but I just want to document everything. Besides, those secondary sources are most interesting! :)

Dr. Michael Dwinnell - 1670 to 1770
Dr. Michael's parents were Michael and Mary Dwinnell in Topsfield, Essex County, MA. It was passed through generations that he had been married seven times though only five are proven. It is unknown how he came to be a physician but the first designation was found in 1724.
On March 1, 1691/2, he was on duty at the Ipswitch county jail to overlook Sarah Good accused of witchcraft.

Lost Genealogy Research
Thank goodness I've listed bits of research here because my computer failed and with it went some of the research I had done. Bummer!
I'm going to list a few links on how to organize this sometimes mess of research. There is someone out there more knowledgeable than I am!
