Alpheus Worcester & Hannah S. Bubier

Alpheus Worcester was my 5th greatgrandfather and father of Alpheus Worcester (Jr).  He was born in Spencer, Massachusetts in 1785.

Spencer is about 60 miles west of Boston and in 1785 was a stop on the Old Boston Post Road.

The Boston Post Road was a system of mail-delivery routes between New York City and Boston that evolved into the first major highway in the United States.  Pictured is one of the stone markers that still survive from the 18th century.

Alpheus married Hannah Bubier on Feb 12, 1811 in Boston, Mass where she and her family resided. Hannah was born on September 4, 1794 in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

They had at least six children; Christopher Gore, Abby Sarah, John, James Madison, Alpheus, and Isaac W.

Alphas died in October of 1834.  Hannah died in 1875 and is buried in Norwich, Connecticut.
