We have talked before more than once. My Desire Trim moved from Ilseboro, Maine to Oak Bay, St. David, New Brunswick. She was born on Block Island (New Shoreham), Rhode Island in 1781. Desire Trim was the daughter of Godfrey Trim and Mary Rose (Trim). They moved with their children to Islesboro, ME in about 1778. Pendleton was one of the family names along with Redding, and Dodge Desire Trim married Sargent Towle, the son of Francis Towle of Chester, Rockingham, NH and they had three sons: Horatio Nelsen Towle; Robert Sargent Towle, and my great- great grandfather, John Cramer Towle, who was born in 1828 in Oak Bay. I believe that there must be a connection between our families but I do not know just where to find it. Desire Trim is buried in the Oak Bay cemetery with some of her children. She died at the age of 98. Marilyn
