Hi to all: I am researching my WATERHOUSE ancestry in ME, & in the course of this, I have come to realize that there are many, many WATERHOUSES' still residing in ME. I feel that some or many of these could be descended from from the same lines as I am. From my find- ings to date, I have found that most of these ancestors were born, married, raised their families, pursued their occupations & died in the Androscroggin, Cumberland, Oxford,Sagadahoc & York County areas. Most had large families, as was the norm in those times, which led to many offspring who had large families, & so on & so on, which leads me to believe there must be still be many descendants living in these areas. If anyone has done any research on their lineage, or are fam- iliar with their family tree, & who can identify with any of the names which follow, I would love to hear from you. My Grandfather was Charles E. Waterhouse: b. 1851 in Androscroggin Cty. He moved to CT as a young man where he married, raised a fam- ily of 5, practiced his trade as a barber & died in 1925. He had 5 siblings; Henry, William, George, John & Sarah, all born between 1834 & 1845. Charles E. parent's were Abner & Mary-[Robinson] Waterhouse. Abner is listed on the 1850 Census as a farmer living in Danville, ME. Abner's parents were Joseph & Lydia [Parker]-[Wescott} Waterhouse Joseph is buried in the Fitz Cemetery in Auburn ME. I will not go beyond this point with the lineage at this time, as I have quite a few facts; IE: birthplaces, dates of birth & death, marriage dates, etc. which I am still trying to correctly authenticate--record keeping back in those days was not what it is today. However, the names, etc. I have listed should be within the memory spans of many descendants still around. So, fellow WATERHOUSES in ME, or anywhere, if any of this "rings a bell" I would appreciate hearing from you, & we will go from there, & see where it takes us. Best regards & Thanks to all, BILL WATERHOUSE MYSTIC, CT wm.r.waterhouse@mymailstation.com FAX: 860-536-1486

Trying to learn more about the family of Phebe Tucker, who married Aaron Severy. She was born 6 June 1781 in Hebron. She is the d/o Lemuel Tucker (s/o John), who is on the 1790 Census in Shepardsfield Plantation. A possible mother is Phebe Bucknam (18 March 1753) d/o Daniel and Phebe (Gould)of Sutton. Father and daughter both lived in Shepardsfield. A confused scenerio in the "Annals of Oxford, Maine" has her marrying 3x; to a Johnson, a Tucker , and a Seavey. I found "Phibe" Tucker marrying James Jonson 13 April, 1805 in Dixfield at the LDS site. Would anyone have anything on these families? Mahalo , Kevin
