The information found by Carol Rathbun was sent to me as a photocopy of a typed transcript of the MAINE Vital Records. It shows Benjamin Bunker, son of Benjamin Bunker and Abigail ADAMS, christened 22 1759 in Cumberland, Harpswell Co, ME. It says Page 466; source Batch 8706501, Serial Sheet 41. I have this information from a message I sent to the Bunker mailing list; I do not find the photocopy itself, however. Mary-Gene Hal Bradley wrote: > Thank you.
