Hi List, I am searching for Thomas Jefferson Banks, born June 8, 1820 in Saco, Me. His father was Cummings Banks. Father had two wives [1] Mary Foss and [2] Mary Edgecomb. Thomas Banks married Hannah W. Morse December 11, 1842. She was born June 22, 1817 and died Februaryu 27, 1854. She is buried in No. Dixmont, Me. They had three children: Cordelia E., Edward O., and Hannah W. After the mother died, Thomas farmed the children out to other families. I have lost track of him from there. Is anyone out there researching this family or have any info. Would appreciate hearing from you. Laurice Varney in Waterville, Me.
The Gray reunion will be Aug. 12 at the Sedgwick School Rt. 15 Sedgwick ,Maine This is for all Gray's Not just Hancock County. There will be a photo exhibit this year also We are looking for copies of pictures brownisue@acadia.net
Did you try the Bangor Daily News I'm not sure when it statred but was publishing in the very early 1900's as I found my grandfather obit there this summer in the Mainr State Archives. Also contact them and they may be able to tell you what paper if any. http://thor.ddp.state.me.us/archives Linda Bradley Osborn
One more shot at your problem. I bought the 1840 census for Penobscot Co. for my own problem a while back, and checked the Eddington section for you. There is an entry for Jordon Grant, with a male and female aged 40-50, three male and four female children under 20, and a male aged 80-90. Could the last be your Stephen, now living with his son and family? Stewart Rowe Bonnie Grant wrote: > > Can anyone tell me what newspaper were around the Bangor area in the > 1830-50 time.

I forgot to mention that there is a book, Gray: Abstracts of Penobscot County Maine Probate Records 1816-1866, compiled by Ruth Gray. Includes abstracts of Probate Records from Hancock County 1790-1816 relating to that part of Hancock County set off as Penobscot County in 1816. If you belong to NEHGS or live in a town with a good genealogical library, this should be your best bet to determine whether they were living in the county at their deaths.

It is unlikely that there would be an obituary unless they were very prominent. Have you checked the Town Office in Eddington? They may have vital records. They may also have info about a local historical society. If they were property owners Registry of Probate (wills) or the Registry of Deeds for Penobscot County might be a useful source. Both are in the courthouse in Bangor. Tim King Bonnie Grant wrote: > Can anyone tell me what newspaper were around the Bangor area in the > 1830-50 time.

Take a look at: ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/me/penobscot/newspapers/press/mepress1.txt I believe it mentions that period, though papers died like flies during that century.
