ABBOTT: George William Abbott; b. 26 March, 1845 around Waldo, Waldo Co, Maine. He was one of a family of six sons and two daughters. At age 16 years of age, the Civil War broke out and during those years, his father decided to emigrate to California choosing the Isthmus of Panama route. They sailed from Belfast, Maine to San Francisco and settled in Knights Ferry, California. He married Miss Mary Smith in 1870 and started farming and ranching on the Gary Ranch, now known as the Collier Ranch. If anyone has any information regarding other family members that may be related, please contact me.

He was know to have had four sons, James C.; Joshua; John Q.; and Benjamin Jr. They supposedly lived in Pittsfield. {I realize that this is NOT in Waldo County, however, I chose to include this query at the request of the submitter because of the extremely close proximity of Pittsfield to the Waldo County boundary - CC} Reply to: Joan 7 Apr 01 ADAMS FAMILY OF MONROE, MAINE: David Adams
and
his wife, Mary E. (West) Adams were living in Monroe at the time of the 1870 census with
their children. David was 44, a native of Prince Edward
Island., Canada, and Mary
was 33, a native of Monroe. They are not found after 1870, although two of their children
were in Monroe in 1880 living with other families (the youngest one was called
"adopted son" of the family where he was living). I have traced the oldest son,
but am trying to find out what became of the following brothers and sister who lived in
Monroe, Maine, in the 1870s: 1) James P., born 1858; 2)
Mary E., born 1860; 3) David
W., born 1862;
4) John W., born 1866; and 5) Frank
E.,
born 1869. Perhaps the parents died between 1870 and 1880. Does anyone have access to
cemetery records for Monroe? Or privately-kept records, or church records?

Now there was no birth date or anything on William but I do have a birth year for his wife. Her name was Agnes Amelia Elwynn and she was born in 1861.

They were never heard from again and probably died on the trail. Orinda was born in May of 1856 so it is likely they went West in 1860 or 1861. This is an intriguing mystery but I have no idea of where to begin to see if I can solve their story. Has anyone ever heard about this?

I have traced as far back as my great-great-grandfather, Tolman Bowen, who is listed in the Waldo County Town of Morrill censuses for 1850, 1860, and 1870. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding out who Tolman Bowen's parents were, and would like to be able to trace the family line even farther back. I have already traced Tolman's wife, Charlotte (Woodman) Bowen's family back several more generations, but have reached a "dead-end" with Tolman Bowen on that side of my family. I have a copy of a newspaper article describing Tolman Bowen's 80th birthday celebration in Morrill. According to my calculations, that should have been in about 1894, and Tolman Bowen was born about 1814. I am willing to share any information on the Bowen family that I have garnered.

Reply to: Mark Ritzel 3 Mar 03 BOWDEN / MARSTEN: Looking for information on Abraham Bowden who came from Penobscot and Mary Marsten from Prospect. They were married in Prospect. The archives show the marriage date as 7 May 1810. I believe it to be 1801 since their first born was in 1802. Abraham appeared in the census of Prospect in 1810 but I have no information after that. Also no information on the Marsten family in Prospect during that time period. Reply to: Richard Bowden 19 Aug 02 BOWDEN: I am still working on the Abraham Bowden and Mary Marston that showed up a number of times with intentions beginning in 1801 but I do not know if they were ever actually married or not. I found an entry in the Prospect history that they were married in 1810 but Bob Brooks says it is incorrect. That it's intentions only. If that is the case, intentions have been published 3 times and no marriages. Since they started having children in 1802 it seems that a marriage would have taken place. The theory begins to appear that there were more than one Abraham Booden and Mary Marston. In every case it was shown that Abraham was from Penobscot and Mary was from Prospect. I found Abraham Booden in the 1810 census of Prospect but nothing after that and I do not have information on how many males, females etc. were in the household at that time. Also, I have learned that an Abraham Booden was lost at sea aboard the Brig Phebe of St. Lucia in 1818. If he was the same Abraham that appeared in the Prospect 1810 census this would explain why he would not appear in the 1820 census. If anyone has any additional information on anything that would be helpful in nailing down these Abrahams etc. it would really be appreciated.

We now call him "Elusive John" because we are SO stuck. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information or need to contact me 401-309-9429.

There is no evidence that she is from Waldo County, but I have a sampler dated 1804 which was done by her and I am trying to find out her genealogy, history or background. It is my understanding that these samplers were common among "proper" families, with modest efforts performed by girls in their younger years, and more substantial efforts - like ours - done in their mid/late teens. That places our "Eliza" born somewhere between 1787 - 1792, most likely. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Reply to: Eric 23 Sep 05 BUSHEE (BUSHEY) / McFARLAND: I am

I read this excellent history

about the beginnings of all the little townships and villages in Eastern
Maine after the French and Indian Wars ended. BYARD: I'm a descendant of the Byards who lived in Sedgwick/Sargentville, Hancock County, ME beginning with Robert Byard and his wife, Abigail (Glover). I recently discovered in the new Sedgwick Vital Records book, page 42, that Polly Billings, d/o Abel and Elizabeth (Farrar) Billings, gave birth to a baby boy in Sedgwick on January 19, 1810. No father was named on the birth certificate but she named her son Sylvanus Byard. Polly was about 15 then and this birth may not have been a happy event for her. It seems Sylvanus lived in Sedgwick until his marriage to Belinda Colson, d/o Deacon Henry Colson and his wife Deborah Bowden. Sylvanus and Belinda lived in Frankfort, Waldo County, where their eight children were born, and they are buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Winterport. I'm curious about Sylvanus' life and would love to hear from his descendants. I'm especially interested in finding out who his "real" father would have been...which Byard boy from Sedgwick?

CLARK: I wonder if someone could please point me in the right
direction. I have recently been researching my grandfather's family and I
always believed that he was born in St. George, Maine. I recently purchased the
Vital Records of St. George and I found that on the record for my Aunt
Susie who was born in St. George, Maine on 14 Jan 1870 it states that her
father, John Murphy Clark was born in Searsport, Maine.
John Murphy Clark
was born on 19 Feb 1835 and he was the youngest child of William W. &
Hannah
Cook Clark. Three years after John's birth, his father William died in 1838
and the younger three girls in the family ended up in Searsport as the
mother remarried. The girls that ended up in Searsport were
Mary Ann
Clark who married James Hall in Searsmont. Hannah
Clark who married
Warren Perry in Searsmont and Catherine Clark who married
Orrin Wellman in
Appleton. I believe this family from St. George has some connection with a
family in Searsport or Searsmont. Any suggestions that anyone might have
to help me find what family may have been living in this area would be
greatly appreciated. My great grandfather William W. Clark has been my
brick wall for many years and I would love to solve this mystery.

mother but I have not been able to find any records of this; I do have a WWI
draft registration record that shows her as his wife and living in Bath
(where two of the four children they had were born). I have census records
that show him and his birth family in Palermo, I have also found a marriage
record that appears to have been earlier than my connection with this
individual. The earlier marriage to a Charlotte M. Tobey on February
13, 1908 predates his first child with Dora (Dupont) Maynard by 9
years, but I have found no death records for Charlotte Tobey Coffin.
I also have found no record of his marriage to Dora. He apparently
had four children with Dora, they moved to MA, divorced and she went
on to marry several other men.
COFFIN:

Coffin born about 1810 (possibly in
MA) d 1863 and his wife,

Palermo and their descendants. COLBURN: Would be interested in finding out any info on the Colburns of Frankfort, Waldo County, Maine. My ancestor is Lorena (also listed as Lovina, Laura, Lorana). She married Eli Silas Colson. Eli was born about 1807 and Lorena abt. 1812. I found a Charles Colburn, married to Lydia Couillard.. I wonder if this is an uncle. I have a line that is possibly. the parents of Charles which is out of Leominster, MA. Lorena's parents were said to have been from Massachusetts. The line would be from Ebenezer Colburn and Abigail Hunt. Charles had a daughter Abigail Hunt Colburn. Would like to find someone who could either connect this for me or at least send me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Reply to: Sheila 18 Oct 02 COLBURN: I am still trying to find relatives of Lorena (Lorain, Lorana, Lovina) Colburn who married Eli Colson, the son of Abner Colson and Phebe Cole. Lorena was born abt. 1812/1815 prob. somewhere in Waldo County. It is suggested she might be the daughter of Thomas Colburn and pos. an unknown Hannah (pos. Burnham), who lived in Frankfort in 1820. Reply to: Sheila Compton 27 Jan 06 COLBURN: I am looking for info on a Lorena, Lovina, Lorain or Lovinia Colburn who was born abt. 1812 and married Eli Colson of Frankfort and Winterport, Waldo County, Maine.

Reply to: Sheila 8 May 04 COLCORD: My name is Jean Kuhn, wife of Walter N. Kuhn whose 3rd great-grandfather was a Capt. John S. Colcord from Searsport, Maine. He was the husband of a Susan Crockett. He was born October 13,1810 in Maine and died on December 5, 1874. His children were Adenman P. Colcord, Walt’s 2nd great-grandfather, Adelbert H. Colcord, Amanda P. Colcord and Amelia Emma Colcord. We have no more information than the above. Would you might have more information than this? It was said that he was a captain on one of the ships that went out of Searsport. Any information you could send me would be so greatly appreciated. I am the family genealogist and I am diligently working on my husband’s side and wish to go back as far as possible. By the way, if you have any knowledge of his wife’s parents, etc. the information would be greatly appreciated as well. Susan was also born in Maine. Reply to: Jean M.

All three are sons of John Cole, Jr., and Lucretia (Woodsum) Cole. Lucretia was awarded widow's pension when she was living in Clinton in 1839 based on John's service in the Revolutionary War. I would like to exchange information with anyone descended from this Cole family. Reply to: Dean Scribner 30 Jan 07 COLE: Looking for information on a Captain Cole of Maciaus, Maine. He was aboard the coastal schooner HENRY SUTTON in October of 1906. The HENRY SUTTON was lost at sea after leaving the port of Cheverie, Nova Scotia bound for Baltimore, Maryland with a load of plaster. Newspaper reports in January of 1907 said he had duplicate papers of the voyage and crew lists at his home. If any one knows of the Captain or his descendents please on contact me. My great grandfather, Julius C Sturgis was listed as the master of the HENRY SUTTON when she entered the port of Calais Maine on October 18th 1906. Any information would help. Reply to: Peter Dorr 23 Jan 04 COLE: I am looking for information on an Edward Cole who lived in Frankfort before 1803. He may have died by 1790 and pos. had a wife Phoebe. It has come to my attention from a deed, and another source also called this to my attention, that Abner Colson and wife Phoebe, John Carleton and wife Huldah Cole, and John Pickard, Jr. and wife Eunice all sold a piece of land together that had previously belonged to an Edward Cole. If I were to assume that these families had inherited this piece of property then I would come to the conclusion that they were somehow related to Edward. As I have no last name for Eunice and my Phoebe, I am thinking that perhaps they were Coles and were sisters to Huldah (Huldah was 67 in the 1850 census so Edward would have been born at least before 1765) and this was their parent. In the 1790 census there was a Phoebe Cole as head of household and her children. I wonder if this was his wife and my Phoebe was named after her. If not, perhaps my Susanna, married to James Colson, parent to Abner, was related and Eunice was either a Cole or a Colson. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Even finding Huldah or Eunice's parents would be a help. Reply to: Sheila 13 Nov 01 COLE: Seeking info. on Huldah Cole, of Frankfort ME; b. June 22, 1785, m. abt. 1801, d. Februry 4, 1859.

Also info and line of Eli. Would like to correspond with anyone who is related to Eli (my ggg grandfather) or knows where he is buried. His parents were Jacob (Jack, or John) Cook and Molly Hathorn, married in Orrington, ME Aug 1791. Their parents I'm not sure of. From newspaper write-ups I have quite a lot of info on ELI. He was born May 12, 1804 in Dixmont and died Feb 7, 1907. He had five wives and 7 children. Was a blacksmith and lived in Dixmont and Frankfort and Belfast, and for a short time was in New Brunswick where he met his 2nd wife Mary McLean. They came back to Dixmont after 4 years. I'd like to learn the name of his first wife and 3rd and 4th and where they are buried. His 5th wife was Susan Hanson Hughs. He died in Belfast at the home of his son Alphonso H. Cook. He had a blackthorn cane and said he had proof it came on the Mayflower so suppose his line might go back to a Cook on the Mayflower. Does anyone know about the cane now? He was also a veteran of the Aroostook War. Will return postage on any replies. Thank you. Reply to: Elvera Pardi 30 Jan 05 COOK: I'm looking for any information on my Cook Family.

She married Orlando Reynolds on July 6, 1892 in Burnham, Maine. They had children: Grace Marion, Bertha M., Elisha M., Lester O., Kate, Minnie, and Gertrude Reynolds. The story goes that one of my grandmothers was 1/2 indian...could this be her? Wonder if she was married to another Reynolds. Grace was 13 when they married. Others born after. Also, looking for any info on the death of George H. Cook, son of Rev. John Cook of Burnham, Maine. Cemetary records show that he was "Killed by the Carrs." I found the following in the Cook Forum: "I have been looking at the Gowen family and learned of a marriage that links a desendent to the Carr/Kerr name. They lived in Waldo Co., Burnham, Maine and were involved in a killing of a man. The victim was George H. Cook son of Rev. John & Mary Cook. It looks like after he was killed the Carr/Kerr family went to Massac Co. IL., and S. Bartlett Kerr married Eveline E. Gowen. The old story is of a old time feud." - David E. Gordan.

Couillard and I am a descendent of Pvt. John Couillard and Mary Mock and Samuel Couillard and Lois Howard. I visited Monroe, Winterport, Frankfort, area last Memorial Day weekend after my granddaughter graduated from Colby College. I plan on returning to the area because I want to find Lois Howard Couillard's grave site in the Oak Hill Cemetery. I was able to find Sam's grave site in the Metcalf Cemetery but could not locate his wife. I did not have access to the location exactly and thought I could just walk up and find it. I did find other Couillards but not hers. I would like to contact someone from the Winterport Historical Society and make arrangements to meet with them this spring. I have read the Couillard account in the History of Monroe and have some letters written by Samuel to his children when he lived in Frankfort. These span the dates from 1840-1851 when he died. I have letters written by his children to each other at this time and later. The letters are mostly back and forth from Oconto, WI to Frankfort and Winterport. I am also interested in the Couillard Ferry just north of Bucksport and the adjoining farm land. I am through Thomas Howard Couillard Sr. and Jr. who went to Wisconsin from Corrina, Me. in 1849. I am interested in Lovina Couillard and Samuel Dennent, and Louisa Couillard and Benjamin Woodman who were Samuels' daughters and son-laws. I also am interested in Samuel L. Couillard Jr. who went to Boston and holds : Patents on the Couillard Printing Press and also on Wool Combing machines. In the one letter Sam mentioned that his neighbor Capt. Sam Dennet married his daughter Lovina and he lived next door. I see by your map that S Dennet has property in the North East Corner. As you can see I have a lot of questions to ask. I have carefully reviewed the Arrowsic Area in Georgetown and find that Pvt. John left there and moved to Frankfort, at the beginning of the revolution or about 1773. He started out as a drummer and switched to the regulars about that time. He was killed in a mill accident working for Treat in abt 1786. Some reports show his death ten years later. His grave could be near by. I have no dates on his wife, Mary Maragret Mott. Reply to: Bruce R.

Francis Williams Deane, b.1820, Taunton, Mass and died in Australia in 1898. On
his marriage cert (2nd marriage) in Australia in 1868 he describes himself
as a master mariner. I have a sailing card for the Isabella
leaving San Francisco Feb 5,1852 for Sydney and the Australian Goldfields
via Honolulu with Master Deane. The Isabella is
described as a new Baltimore Clipper 400 tons Burden, Master F W
Deane is described as a Bostonian who joined the forty-niners on the
Yuma diggings He was married to a Margaret Scott prior to
coming to Australia as I have found scant records of two children born and
died here at a young age and believe Margaret died possibly in 1865
here in Australia. I have found no record of the Isabella arriving in
Australia hence no passenger lists or anything. DECROW: My 3rd great grandparents were Daniel D. Decrow and Azubah Gay Decrow. They married 12 Nov, 1788 and the marriage appears on page 5 of the Lincolnville town records. Daniel appears on the 1790 census for Ducktrap Plantation. My 2nd great grandfather, Thomas Decrow, was born 1 Aug, 1804 in Lincolnville as were all of his siblings, Daniel Jr, Azubah, Anna, Robert, Ibri, Elijah, Bateman, Howard, and Olivia. Thomas, Howard, Daniel Jr, and Elijah left Lincolnville for Matagorda County, Texas. Thomas returned Maine to marry Lucretia Morton, the intentions were filed 6 Oct, 1835 in Bristol, Maine and the marriage solemnized 29 Oct, 1835. The marriage intentions list Lucretia as of Bristol. While not in Waldo County, I would love to hear from Morton researchers; I have no other information on Lucretia. They returned to Texas to raise their family. Robert married Harriet Wade, the intentions were filed 23 Aug 1827 in Lincolnville, I have her parents as John Wade and Abigail Bates.
Bateman married Betsey Clements, intentions filed 1 Dec, 1822 in Knox. Betsey is Jeremiah's brother. Olivia married Mark Hall, intentions were filed in Thorndike, 18 Nov, 1837 and Lincolnville, 20 Nov, 1837; marriage occurred in Thorndike, 7 Dec, 1837. I would love to hear from anyone researching these collateral lines. I keep hoping to find more Decrow cousins and extend my research. My long term goal is to create a extensive database of the Decrow surname including following the female lines. If anyone is interested in this project Reply to: Pat Nichols 21 Jan 06 DECROW: Requesting any information on Daniel and Azubah Gay Decrow. Daniel was in Ducktrap Plantation (later to be Lincolnville) by 1788. He married Azubah Gay, 13 Nov 1788. I understand the house they raised their children in is still standing. I would like to know when he died, he was still alive in 1839, but that is all I know. I would like to know where he is buried. Azubah was born in Onslow, Nova Scotia and the last I know of her is that the last child was born 13 Sep 1809. What happened to Azubah? What happened to her son, Ibri? Reply to: Pat Nichols 20 Nov 05 DECROW: I am researching the person of Judith F. Decrow, born in Lincolnville, Maine in June 1827. Any information about her or her parentage would be greatly appreciated as I can find nothing further about her. Reply to: Bruce Williams 30 Jan 07 DECROW: Does anyone know the cause of death for Thomas Libby Decrow and his second wife Clita or Cleetie? I have been searching for Decrows on the New England Genealogical Historical Society website. They have indexes to Maine marriages and Maine deaths. Clita was at least Thomas' 2nd marriage. They married 1 Oct, 1936, most likely in Belfast, Maine. Belfast is listed as the residence of both bride and groom. They both died 17 Dec, 1962 in Belfast, Maine. They have consecutive death certificate numbers. Thomas was 90 and Cleetie was 94. I would be interested in any information anyone might have. Reply to: Pat Nichols 19 Mar 05 DECROW: I am researching the Decrow surname. The first Decrows to move to Maine settled in Lincolnville. In the 1880 and 1900 censuses, the William Bateman Decrow family is living in Belfast. William was born in Freedom, the son of Bateman and Betsey Clements Decrow. He married Lucy A Osgood, marriage date and place unknown. Children of William and Lucy are Walter A b May, 1868, William A b May, 1874, Elmer B b 15 Dec 1878, Alice B b Dec, 1879, and Charles Ralph b 4 Nov,1884 in Belfast. They lived at 14 Bayview St according to the 1900 census. William Bateman and William A were employed at the shoe factory in 1900. William A is listed as a lining cutter and I believe William B's occupation is listed Eng - Shoe Factory. The only marriage information I have for the children is for Charles Ralph, he married Lulu Mae Edwards abt 1907. She and her parents place of birth is listed as Pennsylvania. In the 1930 census they are living in Bangor. Does anyone have any additional information on this family? I would like to know when they moved to Belfast. Does Bayview St still exist? Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Reply to: Frances Dodge 7 Apr 01 DODGE: My 2nd great-grandparents were Leonard and Mary "Polly" (Dodge) Boyd of North Monroe. Mary was the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah (Loud) Dodge of Monroe. Supposedly, Benjamin was the son of Edward Dodge but it seems highly unlikely as b would have been only 13 when Benjamin was born in 1778 in Beverly, Ma. Does anyone know who his father was or have a more logical candidate? Reply to: Joan Burgess Brown 15 Feb 04 DODGE/BROOKINS: The family that I am researching is that of Mial Dodge and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Brookins. Mial was b. 1818 in Bridgeton, Cumberland, ME, and d. 2 May 1898, probably in Unity. Betsy was b. 1820-1823 in ME, and d. 22 April 1889. I got the information on Betsy from the Unity town office records. I would like to find out who all their children were, besides my direct ancestor Dudley Hartley Dodge, who migrated to Wisconsin. I also know that Dudley had a sister named Lottie. But the main reason I am writing is because of a small family cemetery which I finally located last summer. I don't find it on your Waldo Co. Cemetery listings. This "burial ground" was 16' x 16', and was exempted from the sale of Mial and Betsy's land in Unity Plantation to George Brookins, who was, I believe, Betsy's brother. Given that they reserved the "burial grounds" at the time they sold their property, (I presume this is the time that they moved into the town of Unity.) I am curious to know in whose hands it now belongs, as that was over 100 years ago. This "burial ground" is located by driving out of the town of Unity (either on 139 or 202, I'm not sure) into Unity Plantation. Then I believe it is the first right, (which is either blacktop or dirt). The thing I remember was going past a place that did work on small engines, on the right; then past a lot with a mobile home on it, then past a field adjacent to that; and then another field, which was the former property of my ancestor. (I think this is about as far as the road goes.) As one drives into the lane to the right, there was thick growth which concealed the old brick foundation to the cabin. ( I found the foundation 20 years ago, but couldn't find the graves then.) The man from the small engine repair place pointed out to my husband and myself where the graves were. He said that he had grown up knowing there were graves there, but didn't know whose they were. At any rate, the graves would seem to be located under a mound on which was planted one or two birch trees, and a large pine or two. It is quite visible on the north ( I think) side of the field. When we investigated it, we came to the conclusion that the burials were made, and mounded, and marked with the trees; and over the years the graves had sunken somewhat, leaving the tree roots exposed and quite visible. I don't know who are in the graves, and don't know how to find out. But I would like to know what we can do to protect that small patch of land, perhaps by fencing it off and putting a small plaque on it, or something to that effect. Unless we can show that it existed before Mial and Betsy Dodge took possession of the land, it could be designated as the Dodge Cemetery. Is there someone else to whom I should be taking this project? I would be happy to pay at least part of the expenses in preserving this burial ground, as I do feel that these are part of my ancestral family. Reply to: Ruth Dodge Lame 1 May 01 DOUGLAS:

Also, there is a Clevland, age 93 in 1860, living with Paul. Could this be Paul's father? In an online message, I saw a query where someone wondered if Paul's father were Moses of Strafford. So perhaps Clevland is not the father, but an uncle? And how should Clevland be spelled? I saw relatives with Cleaveland and Cleveland.

After doing some other History on my Family I came across a Personal Record of my Great Grandfather James Duguid When he joined the (Aberdeen) Scotland, Police Force in 1895, that his father was George Duguid and his mother was Mary Duguid, maybe Mary Watt Duguid, maiden name Mary Watt. In the record it stated that his father, George Duguid was dead, and that his mother Mary Duguid moved to Vinalhaven, U.S.A. I do not now if she ever returned from Vinalhaven or if she stayed there, I would think that when she moved there she probably went over to some other relations of hers, or of her late husband George Duguid. Mary Duguid was from Tarves Village Northeast, Aberdeen, Scotland. I'm not sure when she was born, but her son James was born on the 14th August 1870. I'm not sure if she kept her married name Duguid or if she used her maiden name Watt.

Info that we have is that he married Mary Ford, daughter of William and Sarah (Edes) Ford, on 5 Mar 1761 in Charlestown, Suffolk, MA. William and Sarah had five kids -- Mary, Abigail, Katherine, Elizabeth and William. The first four (and maybe William, too) were born in Charlestown, according to IGI and Thomas Wyman's book on Charlestown. According to a family Bible kept by Katherine's daughter, at least Mary, Katherine and William wound up in Prospect, Waldo, ME. I estimate that the family's move occurred before July, 1788, for Katherine's daughter Sarah was born in Prospect in April, 1789. I'm reasonably convinced that Sarah's father lived in Maine long before that, but that's another story. Several years ago, someone (whose name I have lost) sent me an E-mail to the effect that Reuben's ancestry would be easy to trace -- the Goodwins were well known in Charlestown. If I could find that person now, I'd probably say something to the effect of "Sez who?" Thanks in advance for your help in identifying the ancestors of Reuben Goodwin. I'm well aware of the Goodwin family of York County, ME. There are at least two Reubens in this family. However, they don't fit with a marriage date of 1761 in Charlestown, MA. I'm about 99% certain that our Reuben is not part of the York County Goodwin family. Reply to: Bruce Bardes Cincinnati 7 Sep 02 GOODWIN / TIBBETTS:
Deaths
of Benjamin Tibbetts (d. 13 May 1834) and his wife Mary
Goodwin Tibbetts (d. 26 Jul 1838) have been recorded in a
Trevett
family Bible. Deaths of Katherine (d. 25 Jul 1824) and William
Goodwin (d. 21 Jul 1837) were also recorded. All of these
deaths occurred in Prospect, Waldo County, Maine. Dates of birth,
estimated from age at death notations, were: Benjamin - 1760; Mary
- 1762; Katherine - 1766; and William - 1776. I believe
that Mary, Katherine and William were siblings,
possibly the children of Reuben and Mary (Ford) Goodwin
of Charlestown, MA. I have nothing about Benjamin Tibbetts.. GORDON: Seeking any information on Daniel Gordon of Thorndike, Waldo County, Maine in the mid 1800s.

I have been working for 20 years, more or less, on a manuscript entitled, The Descendants of Samuel Fuller and Mary Longfellow of Albion, Maine, 1776 to the present". One of their children, Charlotte Fuller, married Orchard C. Greely of Palermo, Maine. Both are buried in Greely's Corner Cemetery in Palermo, Maine. I have Orchard's death date recorded as 22 February 1886, aged 78 years. I am looking for an obituary of any type for Orchard C. Greely. (Some say the "C" stands for Cook, but I cannot verify this). I would hope that it would tell me something of his life. There is a rumor that he went to California by wagon train in about 1851. But he had to have returned, because he is in every US Census for Palermo from 1850 through 1880. Some of his sons did go to Coulterville, Mariposa County, California, and their descendants are still living there. I am attempting to ascertain whether or not this is true about Orchard C. Greely. His daughter, Octavia, married Frank Kinsman of Augusta, Maine. Octavia was active in the Kushnoc Chapter of DAR in Augusta. I am related through marriage to Madeleine Haskell of Palermo. I know that she is active in the historical society there in town. I hope that someone who will read this query will either be able to help me or be able to guide me in my search for an obituary for the above, Orchard C. Greely of Palermo, Maine.
