He is buried in Conville, Maine in the Bowman cemetery. I have he and Judith as having 4 children(Elizabeth Eliza, Willian Flanders, Josiah, and Jonathan Flanders Morrill). According to an old family bible(author unknown), Micajah bought his land in Cornville from John Robinson on September 29th, 1801. Death date information comes from a Morrill bible that I have. Date is also on gravestone. Age is listed on stone as 78 years. Hope this is of interest.

This is to announce the recent publication of a book entitled Nathan Fish (1748 - ca. 1811) and His Wife Betsey Kinney/Kenney, Early Settlers of Starks, Maine and Their Descendants (Vol. I) This volume follows Nathan Fish's family from Groton, MA, to "Balltown," ME, to Starks, ME, where they settled in the early 1780's. It carries the family down through four generations. Published by the Penobscot Press of Rockport, ME, this is a hardcover edition, printed on 244 pages. It is fully referenced and includes an every-name index, several maps and original documents, as well as over 40 photographs. If you have family in the area, you may be interested in this work.

There are also numerous books in print about the WINSLOW family. I am in the process of verifying all that I have now. I got the info from my cousin who researched this from the Maine State Library. I descend from Kenelms son Job and through his son James who married Elizabeth Carpenter. There is one book that I also got information from called: Winslow Memorial, by David Parsons Holton and Frances K. Holton, New York, 1877. Good luck with your search.

That is one of the bits of information I am looking for. I did have the census info from 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. A volunteer from Somerset County was so kind as to look that up for me. I would very much like to find out who Elbridge's and Mahala's parents are, but have come to a brick wall right now. I believe one of ther son's, Ferdinand is my great grandfather. But these census's are the only thing I have to go on. I can not find any birth or marriage records yet to verify. I have been recently told there are some old Pittsfield records in Augusta, which I may check out. The town of Pittsfield had a gap in their records due to a fire. That would be interesting if your Mahala matched up with mine. Please let me know if you ever find her and it turns out she married Elbridge, and I will try to do the same if I find my Mahala's maiden name. Perhaps between the both of us, we can solve some mysteries!

Do you know Mahala's maiden name? I have a 'missing Mahala' in my tree born in Ripley, ME in 1816. 1840 Elbridge is NOT listed in the census; Pattens of Somerset are in Athens, Pittsfield, Fairchild I think. So he most likely is with either his parents with his family or her parents. 1850 he is in HARTLAND, Somerset Co. ME; he is Elbridge G. Patten a laborer 36 born in ME; Mahala is 36; Delphina 14; Judith 12; Benjamin F. 10; Rosephia 8; Ferdinand 6; Elizabeth 4; Elbridge 2; 1860 he is in Pittsfield is 46 and a woodturner; Mahala is 46; Delphina 24; Judith 22; Franklin 20 (note he was Benjamin 1850); Rose 18; Ferdinand 16; Elizabeth 14; Elbridge 12; Carrie 2 and Marrion a male is 1; 1870 Now in Fairfield; he is 56 a wood turner; Mehala is 55; Judith 32; Elbridge J. 22 is a Blacksmith; Carrie A. 15 and Merrion is 11. 1880 NOW IN Lewiston Androscoggin, ME; Elbridge Sr. has died; Mahala is 65; Judith is 40; Carrie A. 26 a seamstress; George C. is a barber.....this is Merrion who now is 21 and changed his name.
