- Several pages on The Goldsbury Family and Its Connections: The Sweetser Family. Genealogical Records from Scott Bible. Miranda Sweetser married James Goldsbury. “Most of the heirs of Ann Maria Goldsbury, who died in 1920, the daughter of James and Miranda signed off their interest in the house. Ann Maria’s borther, James (who married Mary Rosaline Long of Shelburne) lived in Minneapolis, Minn, and had no need of the Warwick house. His children, Dr. James (no longer living – therefore John Goldsbury was one of the heirs), also Dr. Paul, Mary Long Goldsbury Channon, Royal Sweetser Goldsbury, Czarina Goldsbury Metcalf, John Goldsbury, and Joseph Goldsbury were heirs. Royal took the responsibility of seeing taxes were paid and the house maintained. Royal lived in PA, never lived in Warwick. His brother, Dr. Paul lived there a number of years, and Rena Metcalf Goldsbury (Royal’s sister) and her husband Rev. Harlan Metcalf retired there. Religious services were held in the Goldsbury and Francis homesteads and the Pulcifer barn. After Harlan’s death in 1936, the house of Rev. Preserved Smith, on the Athol Road, was purchased, converted into a chapel and named the Metcalf Memorial Chapel in honor of Harlan Metcalf. The Scott Bible contained marriages from Samuel Sweetser to Hannah Moore in 1792 to the last birth noted Lillie Sweetser in 1847 and the last death recorded is Frederick Jones in 1887.

- Many pages of correspondence between Alfred Stocker, Professor, University of Virginia, first between “The Pastor, Congregational/Unitarian Church, Warwick” and Betsy Lincoln, Office Secretary of the Metcalf Memorial Chapel and then extensive correspondence between Professor Stocker and Lois Goldsbury Macy. Professor is a descendant of Col. Joseph Williams and he has a chair which has come down in his family. The chair has the initials ’S.W.’ carved in its back and is believed to have belonged to Samuel Williams (Stocker’s grandmother’s maternal grandfather who died in 1785). Professor Stocker would like to present this chair to the Historical Society and in fact he did at a meeting of the Warwick Historical Society June 8, 1994.
