    1. [MFLR] Freewill Baptist Marriages, Maine, David Soule
    2. Lucy Carroll
    3. Last year,I purchased a copy of a newspaper called something like, "Maine Freewill Baptist News." It had an account of the marriage of David Soule and Clarissa Hopkins, both of Garland ME; marriage performed in Dexter Maine, about 1830, or 1835. I was planning to submit it to supplement ME Census Records, and History of Garland ME by Lyndon Oakes to show that David Soule was son of William Soule, b. Halifax MA , m. Rachel Dillingham. I show Rachel Soule,82, living in house of David Soule and wife Clarissa Soule in 1850, ME Census. The Newspaper copy was the link, I was hunting for, as there are no early marriage records for Dexter or Garland ME. Anyway, I can't find it. The Genealogy Gremlins "cockeroached it" I have hunted high and low, implored St Anthony and I just can't remember where I put my special Mayflower Proof File. Does anyone on the list remember the name of a company who sold original old documents or copies online? What I purchased was a photocopy for $20.00. I can get the other proofs again by writing to Maine Archives, but this marriage record seems a pivotal link between, MFIP, Vol. III, "Ridlon,"History of Garland ME, and the ME Federal Census, 1840 Garland, 1850, Hartland ME. My advice to new reseachers: Don't print out everything you see on the internet. Leave it there! It's probably not going anywhere! I ended up with piles of files and I can't find anything! Betty Bradway and Susan Roser should be named National Treasures, they are so patient and helpful. Now if they could just come to California and get me organized!
