Dear Listers - According to descendants in CA, Dorcas Ann Thornton, usually known just as Ann, married an Englishman, John Donald [ca. 1840, in Boston?] and moved with him and two children to California in 1852. They settled in San Mateo County, and became quite prominent. These same sources say that Dorcas Ann was born 8 Feb 1818 in Calais, ME. I don't know whether the Calais vital records have been published, but know that we don't have them in our local libraries. Could some kind soul check the records for me, to see whether this birth of Dorcas Ann can be verified, and if so, to identify her parents? Any help will be deeply appreciated.

She died in Malden, Mass. 1894. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thayer e-mail: sea2pals@aol.com

Does anyone have access to the 1830 census cd-rom? I am wondering if there is a Butler (possibly an Ephraim Butler) in Twp. 13 in this census. Also, any butlers in Alexander if possible.

Dear Newell, Thank you so much for posting the material on Jonesboro and Jonesport, ME. It's wonderful to look through and see familiar names that may have migrated elsewhere. I have such a case and would like to know if anyone else is working on the following family of Jonesboro and Trescott, ME. In the Jonesboro, ME birth records there is the following family: FROST, Warren and Betsy his wife with four children. In the Trescott, ME records there is the following family: Frost WARREN and his wife Elizabeth with several children whose names are the same as the above with some discrepancies in birth dates. The children of this couple show up in marrige records, etc as WARREN. Therefore I would like to determine the correct surname and perhaps leave a clue with the original records in Jonesboro and Trescott as to the correct name. I would like to hear from anyone able to help clarify this. Pat Patricia McCurdy Townsend http://members.tripod.com/~quoddybelle/index.html

Crowe and interment in All Saints Cemetery, Marysville. GIFT TO CHURCH. Memorial Plaque Presented Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Memory late Mrs. L. L. Rye. A beautiful pounded copper memorial plaque depicting The Last Supper has been presented Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church by L. L. Rye of New York, in memory of his wife Margaret Kelly Rye, who died on Oct. 3rd, 1936. The plaque has been hung on the wall in the chancel at the rear of the Communion Table. The plaque was made by Mr. Rye himself and is an exact reproduction of The Last Supper made from the famous picture by Leonardo de Vinci, 1452-1519, of Florence, Italy. When Mr. Rye completed his work of art he took it home and presented it to his wife, who valued it very highly. Following her death Mr. Rye had an inscription plate made and then forwarded the plaque to Saint Andrew's Church where Mrs. Rye was choir leader following church union and active in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church both before and after union. The plate bears the following inscription: "Presented to Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Fredericton, N. B., by L. L. Rye, of New York, in loving memory of his wife, Margaret Kelly Rye, Oct. 3rd, 1936." Mrs. Rye, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Kelly, will be remembered by many and the gift in her memory has been graciously accepted by Saint Andrew's Church.
