Maine, which once included that part of present Oxford County wherein lies the village of Roxbury, ME. This area was once a part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, later the Commonwealth of Mass., until Maine became a state in 1820. There never has been a Cumberland County in the current state of MA, so my ancestors must have been Maine-iacs. I can say that, because I used to live in NH! Thanks to all who responded, but I think we got it all figured out. Howard

The only Roxbury that I am aware of in Ma would be the part of Boston by that name however its in Suffolk County. The town of Roxbury Me is located on route 17 in Oxford County just up from Rumford-Mexico

Roxbury is in Oxford Co., ME. I think that part of Maine was once considered, for a short time, part of Old Norfolk Co., MA, as were the Berwicks.

Would like to make contact with descendants or find out more info on Ephraim and Abigail Thanks I have the book Sawyer families of New England. I am looking for other sources to back up this information. Sue Szewczyk

My great-great grandfather was William Barker born about 1800 in Maine who moved to Cobb Co GA (nw of Atlanta) by the 1830's, married a Georgia native- Nancy Dobbs (b 1815 d 1881) by 1841. Their children were: Louisa Barker 1841- 1879 Daniel W Barker 1843-1909 Andrew J Barker 1845-1917 Miranda Barker 1847-1874 William D Barker 1861-1934 Daniel and Andrew Barker served in the Confederate Army, William (60+ yrs old) did not as far as I can tell from the records. William Barker was in the 1860 census, by 1870 he was gone but his family remained in Cobb Co. Nancy Dobbs Barker and all of her children except William D. remained in GA their entire lives. I am trying to find where in Maine William Barker came from and which Barker family. He was a millwright in Cobb Co GA according to the 1860 census. Does anyone have Maine ancestors who moved to Georgia during the 1820-1850 time range? I thought perhaps some brother or brother in-law might have moved with William Barker but I have not been able to find anything so far. There was a gold rush in NW Georgia (1820's or 1830's) which might have drawn some men from Maine all the way to Georgia. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this seems to be a brick wall, Thanks, Larry Wise

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Doloff/Dolloff, Kimball, Foster Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JEB.2ACE/542 Message Board Post: I am searching for any information out there regarding my 5th G-Grandmother, Rosanna Doloff/Dolloff, who was born 15 Feb 1792 in Lyman, York Co., Maine, and married Stephen Granville Kimball (son of Ensign Kimball and Hannah Granville). Rosanna died 2 Mar 1853 in Tamworth, Carroll Co., New Hampshire. What little info I have on her came from "History of the Kimball Family in America - Vol II" by Leonard Allison Morrison. Stephen and Rosanna Kimball had eight children: 1. Ensign Kimball (my 4th G-Grandfather), b. 7 Oct 1818 in Chelsea, Suffolk Co., MA, d. 9 Dec 1883 in Revere, Suffolk Co., MA, married (1) Mary Elizabeth Pratt 29 Feb 1842, married (2) Lucretia Pratt 9 Apr 1854; 2. John N. Kimball, b. 30 May 1820 in Eaton, NH; 3. Joseph Kimball, b. 5 Jun 1822 in Eaton, NH, d. 30 Mar 1875, married Melissa Glines; 4. Abner Doloff Kimball, b. 30 May 1824, d. 2 Mar 1855, married Roxanna Caldwell; 5. Stephen Kimball, b. 17 Nov 1825 in NH, d. 13 May 1885, married Ellen Unknown; 6. Enoch H. Kimball, b. 5 Feb 1829 in Tamworth, Carroll Co., NH, d. 26 Nov 1829 in Tamworth, Carroll Co., NH; 7. Rosanna Kimball, b. 18 Mar 1831in Tamworth, Carroll Co., NH, married William Henry Bennett; 8. James Kimball, b. 11 Feb 1836 in Eaton, NH, d. 31 Jan 1858 in Tamworth, Carroll Co., NH. Since one of their children was named Abner Doloff Kimball, I decided to go out on a limb and began looking into the possibility of Rosanna being related to an Abner Doloff/Dolloff. I found an Abner Dolloff who was born Abt. 1780 in Maine, and married Rebecca Foster Abt. 1812 in Maine. It appears that they may have both been from Gray, Cumberland Co., Maine, but I have seen conflicting info there. This is purely speculation on my part, but I believe that my Rosanna Doloff/Dolloff may be the sister of this Abner Dolloff, or at least that she is related to him somehow. For one thing, it appears that Abner and Rebecca Dolloff had a daughter named Rosanna Dolloff, who was born 25 Oct 1814 in Maine (it appears she was born in Gray, Cumberland, ME, but again, I have seen conflicting info.) From what I have found thus far, Abner and Rebecca's daughter Rosanna married Shephel Foster 17 Jan 1836 in Gray, Cumberland, ME, and died 23 Mar 1890. If anyone has any info about Rosanna Doloff/Dolloff Kimball, or about this particular Abner Dolloff's parents/siblings, PLEASE e-mail me! I have searched everywhere and so far have turned up nothing! Thanks in advance for your help. Leah

Dear List: This is a broadcast message sent as a service to genealogists (see below): Ray Sears of Ray Sears <lrsears@capecod.net> wrote in part: "The Making of America Project at U Mich (8,000 books, 2,000 articles) is a boon to all of us who don't have easy access to New England Libraries." He provided a direct link to "The History of Cape Cod" as http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa;idno=aja2089.0001.001;view=toc and an alternative to the MOA main page as http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/moagrp/ I visited the MOA main page and was impressed by both the search engine, the quality of the imaging of books, and the fact that, besides being able to view material on-line (and print it out) one can purchase printed copy, including whole books, for what I consider a nominal fee. I immediately began to browse "History of Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts: Including Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscot, and Nahant" by Alonzo Lewis and James R. Newhall. I found that there are three ways to view page content: in image form, in text form and in PDF format. I found I could only print out material which was in PDF format, probably due to the way I had set up my browser ....no big deal... The search engine for the website is extremely powerful, and likely to provide more references than desired, so it is best used employing Boolean arguments to be accessed with the "Other Searches" button. If you have a website, it might be well to provide a link to MOA. The service UMICH is providing is so great it would serve them well if you forwarded this message to other genealogists. For this purpose you may quote my message in whole or in part. Thanks, Eugene Hubbard
