Dore(1776-1846). Samuel was married to Lydia Corson (daughter of Lemuel Corson and Patience Perkins) June 29, 1795 in Shapleigh, ME. Is it possible that this Greenleaf is actually a foster child? Is it possible that he is a child of a previous marriage of Lydia's? Is it possible that he is a namesake of your Greenleaf? I show my Greenleaf's mother as Hilda ____ , and his birth as May 1828. Maybe somebody has a little more....

I'd check the Reg. of Deeds to see if they had maps. About 1860+/- there was a good map for most counties. But that would pre-date the actual development date of the couty. The Length & Breadth of Maine by Atwood gives the establishment of each county and where the area came from. I know Franklin County has copies of the original surveys of most of the towns. Using those and comparing them to the towns' lines now are usually helpful.

This is an extraordinary program. Kathy, you might want to make some inqueries to see if larger organizations have AniMap available for public use -- i.e. libraries, historical societies or the LDS Family History Center. I volunteer at the Family History Center in Richmond, VA and we have a copy of it there. If you can't find an answer, let me know and I will do the research for you when I return in a couple of weeks.

I paid $79.95 for it a few months ago, and well worth it if one's genealogy program (Legacy) spits out counties because they "didn't exist in that particular year." Legacy also touts the program which is how I found out about it. It is stand-alone, so can be used independently. Thanks for your reply. B R

You responded to a post that I had made a few years ago. I'm still trying to research the Edward Kent Davis line. I know that Edward Kent Davis served as a PVT in the 38th PA Co. H or K during the Civil War. at some point, he must've returned to somerset Co., Maine, because his daughter, Alida May was born there in 1869. Alida was my gg-grandmother. Apparenlty, Edward returned to PA after the birth of Alida. I'm assuming that his wife, Mary Jane Cree died in PA. Edward's father was John Davis. My gg-grandmother, Alida May Davis Brown, claimed that her family were Mayflower descendants. I know that there were Kents and Davises on the Mayflower. I think there might have been people with the surname, Cree, as well. I was born many years afet she died. I never had the chance to speak to her personally. As far as the Mayflower info, I'm only repeating the info that Alida told my grandmother. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Reminder: Second Sunday in July is Reunion for the Maine PENLEY'S and Related Families 2 PM, 9 July 2006 See Details Below Daughters and granddaughters of progenitor Joseph 1 PENLY 1755 Eng -1844 Maine are known to have married into the: ACKLEY / AKELEY, CROCKETT, DAKIN, DAVIS, DINGLEY, DYER, GARCELON, HACKETT, HAINES, HODGKIN, JORDAN, MARSHALL, MITCHELL, PACKARD, RANDALL, VICKERY, WAGG, WATERHOUSE and other families and lived in Androscoggin, Aroostook, Cumberland, Franklin, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Sagadahoc, and Somerset counties in Maine. Descendants are known to have lived or be living in many states from Massachusetts to California and across Canada from Ontario to British Columbia. One great grandson established a line centered around Vicksburg, Mississippi after the Civil War. A great granddaughter moved to Kansas with her family when she was twelve years old. She and her husband were missionaries in India and all but one of their children were born there. I had a major computer crash last Oct (2005) and lost all of my e-mails and addresses. PLEASE, if you have ever contacted me before last Oct, send me another e-mail about your PENLEY connection / information so I will know who you are and how to contact you. If you have a PENLEY ancestor in or from Maine or New England, you are urged to contact us. If you can provide your direct line back to your earliest known PENLEY ancestor(s), it will be a great help in placing you in the correct branch. The Maine PENLEY family is primarily the descendants of the children of the progenitor, Joseph 1 PENLY, who was born in England in 1755, arrived in Freeport, Maine, in 1770, and died in 1844. Joseph was first married 1780 to the widow, Esther FOGG JOHNSON, and they had 10 children. Following Esther's death in 1796, Joseph second married 1797 Thankful MOODY and they had six children. However, there was an earlier Sam(p)son PENLEY who was living in Falmouth (now Portland), Maine in 1658. He was later associated with House Island, Cape Elizabeth, and Long Neck. He was a fisherman and jail keeper. When he died in 1688, he was survived by his wife, Rachel; a son, Sampson; and 3 daus: Jane or Ann who married Dennis MURROUGH (MURROW ?) Dorcas who married Hugh WILCOTT Mary who married Henry BAILEY His son, Sampson PENLEY, was a mariner who is believed to have died without issue. How or if these two PENLEY families may have been related is not known, but the PENLEY family genealogists welcome the participation of Sam(p)son's descendants in hopes that future research will give us some resolution to these questions. The Maine PENLEY family has an annual reunion, at 2 PM every 2nd Sunday in July. The special service is held at PENLEY Corner Church, state route 136 (same as Riverside Dr on the Auburn side), 3 miles south of the Auburn - Lewiston, Maine bridge (just a few hundred feet south of the Auburn city limits sign). Route 136 cuts across from Freeport to Auburn. This year the meeting will be Sunday, 9 July 2006. Rev E Richard WRENTZEL, pastor of visitation at the Turner Village Church, Turner, Maine, will the guest speaker. He had served as pastor of many churches in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Maine, but is now retired from active preaching. Family members who now live in AR, CT, MD, and ME will be participating in the service. Family genealogists will be available both before and after the service to receive information from descendants and discuss your line with you. If you have New England PENLEY's, the chances are very good that you are a descendant of Joseph 1 PENLY. If you are unable to be at the reunion on July 9th, PLEASE contact me. And if you know of other PENLEY descendants, please let me know who they are and how to contact them by phone or e-mail by sending an e-mail directly to me (to protect their privacy re phone numbers and addresses). Thank you for your help. Our success, in updating the genealogy of Joseph 1 PENLY's descendants, is dependent on the contributions made by all of our living cousins. Janice
