found old photos in an old album of him and a lot of his family. 95% of the
pictures were taken in studios in Belfast. I would like to return this album to
the family. SIMMONS: I am posting this for a non-computer friend. She is the daughter of Charles 'Edgar' Simmons and Margaret (Macleod). Their children were born in the first half of the 1900's. Margaret was the daughter of Harry A. and Maud (Freese) MacLeod, born in Charlestown or Chelsea, MA. Maud died in Belmont, ME. Charles 'Edgar' Simmons' grandparents were William and Diantha A. (McLoud) Simmons, a blacksmith, who was in the 1870 Census of Brooks, Waldo County, ME. Diantha was the daughter of William and Clara (Rawlins) McLoud. She was born 28 May 1841 in Maine [in various records, her birthplace is given as Corinna, Ripley, or Knox, ME]. In the 1870 Census of Knox, ME, William Simmons was born circa 1807 to 1809. He resided in Belmont, ME, coming from Brooks, Me. The children of William and Diantha were Charles Albert Simmons, born 24 Nov. 1865 and died 19 Oct. 1939 in Belmont, ME He married Minnie E.

SIMMONS:
I am looking for the Parents, or Siblings of
Lebbeus Simmons who was born August 28, 1849 at Middleborough, Plymouth
Co., MA. He married Mary Douglas there on Jan 27, 1774. He
was a Rev War Vet who enlisted at Middleborough, and was discharged
there as well. But later he settled permanently in Maine.
Researchers of this man, have studied his Rev War files, and other
documents, and have NEVER been able to find a FATHER listed for him, or
a sibling group. There is a group of descendant researchers of this man and his children who have been looking at all known records for many years, hoping to uncover a line on his own ancestry. The father of this man is UNKNOWN to date. Those of you studying the Simmons families of Middleborough, Plymouth Co. MA in the 1740 thru 1830 time frame, please check your files for Lebbeus. 1810 census at 25 Mile Plantation , Kennebec Co ME 1820 census at Joy, Kennebec Co ME 1830 census at Troy, Waldo Co ME The name Lebbeus is strange, but it is a Bible name. Sometimes spelled Libbeous, and variations. There is mention of Lebbeus in many genealogical books, but so far no father mentioned. This info may be still cloaked in mystery, we may be looking for undiscovered information. All the common places have been checked. His 3 sons moved to Mercer Co., PA, but some of his married daughters remained in ME. This family lived near Unity Pond. Reply to: Lillian Kathleen Martin 7 May 04 SIMMONS: - One relative, in his own handwriting, claims
his birth in "East Bangor, Penobscot Co., Maine" on 3 Oct 1820; named Nathaniel
Simmons. Census records show Lincoln County and, later, Waldo County, as
having the only Nathaniel Simmons in Maine (1800-90). We
know only that he probably left Maine before 1842, possibly with his widowed mother, and
went west. My father recalls stories of Nathaniel walking along a levee
and doing boat work in exchange for his mother's passage. He married Harriet
Chandler Hammond (22 Feb 1820 - 27 Jun 1892 in
Muskingum, Ohio. Only two of their seven children survived to adulthood; Ira
Rollins and Alonzo Campbell. If anyone
has any leads on this gentleman, please Reply to: Susie Jackson SIMPSON: I am looking for any records regarding Ephraim Simpson. He appears on the 1800 Federal Census for Mount Ephraim, Maine.

I would like to find his parents and any other siblings. Reply to: Markay Raybon 18 May 03 SMITH: In checking your wonderful map collection, I find a Mrs. Smith on the north end of St. George Pond, Liberty. I am trying to find a Smith family. My great-grandfather was Charles E. Smith. The Bangor death certificate for Charles E. Smith lists his father as Jacob and mother unknown. He was born in 1841. I found a 9 year old Charles E. Smith living in Bangor with a Hill family in 1850. My family story says that Charles was adopted. A possible story may go that Charles' mother died when he was very young and he was taken by the Hill family. In that time adoptions were not always formalized. There may be a family connection between the Hill and Smith families. Charles married first, Mary Jones and second, Rose Allen. He is buried with Mary in Pine Grove Cemetery in Bangor. What I would like is contact with someone who is doing work on the Smith family of Liberty and Bangor. Smith is such a common name but researches seem far and few between. Is there a connection between the Smith family of Liberty and Orrington? Reply to: Harry Hurlbert 27 Sep 06 SMITH: Ebenezer D. Smith was born in March of 1801. Daughter's death certificate lists his birth location as Searsmont, ME. Ebenezer married Charity Miller, daughter of Israel and Anstress (Goold) Miller, in February 1830 in Lincolnville, ME. The family moved to St. Albans, ME and Ebenezer and Charity had nine children: Nancy (m. Josiah Nutting Laughton), Sarah (m. Alonzo Chandler), Mary, Lizzy, Eliza (m. David Rowe), Olive, Saviar, Charity (m. Read Leach), and George. Ebenezer died August 8, 1863 in St. Albans. Charity married secondly Isaiah Leach and lived in Levant.

SNOW: Aaron Snow - I
tried to e-mail a response to the "Snow" Query by Guy Sanderson
dated 31 Dec. 2007, but his e-mail address has changed. Please
post the following: In my search for Aaron Snow, I came
across your post dated 31 Dec. 2007. I'm researching an Aaron Snow, son of
Ebenezer and Mary (Chipman) Snow of Eastham, Massachusetts.
From the information that I have, he was born in Eastham, MA on
November 10, 1759 and died in Chatham, MA in 1852. I found
the following online as well, which leads me to believe that he
may be the same person you are researching: SNOW: One of the earliest settlers in the area that was to become the town of Monroe was a man by the name of Aaron Snow. He moved to Monroe from Gorham, ME about 1802 with his wife and young children. He reportedly built a grist mill on the Marsh Stream in Monroe Village which he later sold to Broadstreet Mason. He then moved to western Monroe and started farming. He is listed on the 1810 census with his wife, 3 boys and 3 girls. He does not appear on later censuses for the town of Monroe. Does anyone know what happened to this family? Reply to: Guy Sanderson 31 Dec 07 SOMES: I am looking for information on the Somes' who lived in Palmero from 1793 - 1804.

He was the son of Isaac Sparrow and Mehitable Higgins. Sarah died 18 June 1865 in Frankfort. Someone has suggested that she might have been a Nickerson? Possibly the daughter of Jonathan Nickerson and Priscilla Hopkins. The Nickerson book said that she had married an Anthony Peraro (intentions 24 Oct 1812) Sarah seems to have had a daughter, Olive, prior to her marriage to Prince. Olive would marry a Foss. All speculation without proof. Would love a confirmation or a denial.

J.'s first wife and oldest son and I'm hoping that the sea captain records may provide his first wife's full name and possibly place of marriage and/or residence from about 1830 to 1835.

Ohio; s/o Jacob Welch/Welsh of Boston & Lunenburg, MA & Elizabeth Gordon of Dunstable MA. Jacob Welch/Welsh was sent in 1810 to Geauga Co. OH by his father, John Welch/Welsh, a Boston silversmith to manage the approx 3,000 of acres that he (John Welch/Welsh) bought in the Western Reserve via the Connecticut Land Company. Jacob died in 1822 in Geauga, and the Ohio histories all record that Jacob's son, John Welch/Welsh, who was a sea captain, gave up his profession and went to Ohio to take over his father's property. John Welch/Welsh had a daughter, Mary Parker Welsh, who lists her birthplace as Maine in all census records. The only record that I have been able to find for a John Welch/Welsh on the sea with Boston connections was the John Welsh who was the prize master of the sloop Prince Neuchatel during the War of 1812 which was captured by the British and the crew was held in Dartmoor prison. In the Dartmoor prison records John Welsh cites his birth place as Boston and it is known that he did return to the US following the War of 1812. I'm hoping that if you have a record of a sea captain named John Welch/Welch that it will at least give me a location in Maine to begin a search for the family.

My grandmother had a son named Theodore J. Stearns. I like to find some kind of info on Betty and Peter Young, especially were my aunt was put to rest. Reply to: Susan M.

His father and grandfather shared the same name. The grandfather may have also gone to sea. Levi Young III was born in 1800, in New Vineyard Maine. I did locate all three Levi's in New Vineyard just after the birth of Levi III. He did achieve his masters as a sea captain and sailed out of Boston with Captain Dominis. He seemed to have frequented the fur trade, or the northwest coast of our continent. Up the Vancouver, over to Hawaii, down to California and back to Boston. He seemed to have sailed for the same owners as those of Captain Dominis. Levi married Jane Dauphin Jackson in 1835 and he gave up the sea a few years later. He moved to Peoria Illinois and died there at the age of forty-five, in 1845. His grave appropriately has been lost on land. I was wondering if any information about either Levi III or his grandfather may have shown up on any lists you may have encountered. Any information about the Young family they are part of would be appreciated. My family has the Smiths, Jackson's, Young's, Frank's. They all were here very early on, but the common names are making it a challenge to find the correct one's. Most were born in the East and some migrated to the Midwest. Thank you.

Young, born in Lincolnville, ME in 1818. He was a fisherman. He was married to Lydia E. Richards. Reply to: Arlene (Young) Russell 14 Apr 05 YOUNG: I am looking for information on Samuel Young's career in war of 1812. Going on very sketchy information that he (one of my great great great grandfathers) may have so served. Not sure. His lovely (not) wife was Lydia. (A sterner looking woman would be hard to find!) I have pictures of each and a note written that he had been a Captain in that conflict. Reply to: Carolyn Jacob 2 Mar 03 - Z - |
