Carol, it appears that you search the Sherman name. Elizabeth Carpenter b. abt 1830 in Washington County, m. Bridges Curtis Sherman, Justice of the Peace about 1850. They resided in the Palermo and Liberty area. Bridges had a brother, Alvah. Are you familiar with this family? I am seeking the name of Elizabeth's father. Her mother was named Eliza, born 1808. Thanks for any help. Sharyn Carpenter Herian

Hello, does any one have any infomation on a Martin byrne Bradford and a lola jane Barney of eastport in the 1800,s ?

To All: If I read the e-mail right it is saying that the original records of the Towns are not viewable by the public. But other records that have the same info are. Maine State Archieves has Birth Death & Marriage records from 1892 to 1955 on film for anyone to research, From 1892- 1926 if a record is unreadable they will check cards listed in boxes downstairs and show you the card. After that you have to pay for the copy from the VR office of Human Services. I have found records that are miss filed on the films because of spelling.Some are hard to read but on the whole they have all the info on parents etc. Carol J Grasse Glidden 1960 to 1996 deaths are online from the Archieves as are the Marriages from 1892 Lots of Towns did turn in their town records for copying and are on film. Grass(e)(Can,ME,MA) Day, Hansen, Brewer, Mills, Price, Sinclair, Sherman,(Sutter)Suitter, Wilcox(Can,ME) May, Morse, McLean, Sloan(MA)Beals (ME,MA) http://www.fortunecity.com/millennium/lala/305/index.html

To Joanne McCoubreu and all who might not know>>> For any vital records after the date of 1892 it is best to contact the Maine State Archives at Augusta or the town where the event happened.. According to state law records after the 1892 are not to be examined by the general public, but only by officials in the local town or city office. Some town clerks do allow the public to look at the actually records, while others go by the law and do not. In Machias we can not look at the records so your question about Helen Adelaide McCoubrey could only be answered by your contacting the Machias Town Office at 70 Court St., Machias or by calling 207-255-8683. Since you know the month and year of her birth it should not be a problem for them time wise to look the data up. For your added info the reason for the general public not being able to view the original records is for privacy concerns ... illegitimate births and causes of death.. As for your further question on just where "Ginger Hill" is .. I have never heard of it but will ask around..

Beverly, Thank you so much. This may prove to be the answer that I have been seeking. "Prove" being the key word. It may be that "Willet" has been mistaken all these years for the William who is supposed to have married Eliza Young." William Carpenter and Eliza Young are given on their son, Thomas's death record although Thomas stated on his marrieage record that his " father was Thomas". Perhaps Thomas never "knew " his father. I did prove Eliza, Thomas's mother and that she remarried to Alvin Sylvester in 1846. It is great to get the help from the list. Thank you again. beverly l bird wrote: > Hi Sharyn, > "Marriage Returns of Washington County, Maine, prior to 1892" Maine Genealogical > Society, edited by Alice MacDonald Long, Picton Press. > CARPENTER given names listed: Iva, Mary, Mary Ann, Ruth H. > > "Vital Records from the Eastport Sentinel of Eastport, ME, 1818-1900" Maine > Genealogical Society, edited by Kenneth L.

A death record for a James, a Thomas, or a William or Willet Carpenter before 1847. 3. Any Birth Record for an Elizabeth Carpenter about 1830 4. Any Birth Record for Thomas Edwin Carpenter born 1828. (The mother of these two children is ELIZA ________? ) born abt 1808 but cannot prove the father.) Any help is much appreciated, Bev, as your time might permit.

Newell Hall In answer to your question about the original census records for Washington County Maine. The original records for the census years 1850, 60 & 70 are housed in the probate office at the Washington County Court House in Machias, Maine. They have been bound in books by town. In addition they have been indexed, also by towns, on file cards. If you did not know, when the census was taken a copy was made from the original census papers and sent to the state, from the state copy a third copy was made for the federal copy and from that third copy the microfilm was made. The original was kept in the local county court house. As you can imagine not all survived. We in Washington County are very fortunate to have the original papers. As you can also imagine there are many mistakes between that first and third copy...

Does anyone know where the original census records for Washington County ME are stored? Are they accessible? The microfilm copies for several of the census years and towns are of very poor quality and unreadable. Newell Hall

Does anyone on the list have information on the Keyes family that live in Eastport in the early 1800's? I am trying to find out who the parents were of Abigail Keyes who married Andrew Harrington III. There was a Jonas Keyes in Eastport at that time but that looks like it could have been a brother or cousin.

I recently found a book of poems written by Myrtie Fisher who was born in Charlotte ME August 27, 1872. The book was Copyrighted in 1948 by Helen Seaverns Melvin, daughter of Myrtie. Below is information from the Foreword: Karen Howell "...daughter of Edwin E. and Emma Augusta (Hooper) Fisher. She died in Melrose, MA 7/10/1948. Her girlhood was spent in her native state where she was graduated from the Eastern State Normal School at Castine in 1891. After a short teaching experience, she decided on a business career and located in Haverhill MA. In 1900, she married Sydney Horace Batchelder, son of Horace J. and Helen (Merrill) Batchelder of Amesbury. He died in 1902. In 1908, she married Charles Edward Seaverns of Jamaica Plain MA. They made their home in Melrose where Mr. Seaverns died in June 1938. Mrs. Seaverns was civic-minded and interested in all local affairs of government as well as county, state and National issues. For several years she was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Melrose Public Library. Interested in genealogical research, she was a member of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society to which she contributed much data. She had life membership in the MA Society of Mayflower Descendants and traced descent from Richard Warren, Myles Standish and John Alden. A former regent of the Old State House Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, her interest in that patriotic society was outstanding. She gave much time to Revolutionary genealogical research and helped many people in establishing records of Revolutionary ancestry. She was an active member of the Ex-Regents Club, the Melrose Woman's Club, the Community Associates, the Melrose Historical Society and the Melrose Republican Club. She was also a devoted member of the First Congregational Church of Melrose. While a young woman, Mrs. Seaverns became interested in writing both prose and verse and furnished contributions to magazines and the local newspapers. One of her outstanding accomplishments was the compiling of the town records of her birthplace, Charlotte ME once Plantation No. 3. This data is now being published in the quarterly Register of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society and will become a permanent record of the births, deaths and marriages of Plantation No. 3 and Charlotte, Maine, previous to the establishment of Vital Statistics in the State of Maine in 1892. Mrs. Seaverns was the author of more than 200 poems, from which 102 have been selected for this book of verse. Descending from pioneer stock and Revolutionary ancestry, she was proud of her heritage and never failed to pay tribute to the founders of our country. Much of her life was spent in collecting data and establishing records for future generations."

Hi Everyone, I am looking to find information on my gggg grandfather Francis W, Hatch born in Lovell,Maine in 1796.(I have been told that Maine wasn't a state until 1820 so it could be Lovell, Mass.) He married a Rebecca F.? His son, Lewis G.Hatch was born in 1830,not sure if in Maine or Mass. He married Martha M. Hatch in 1849,daughter to Jeremiah Hatch and Betsey Mason. She was born 1833. Lewis's son, Calvin P. Hatch was born in 1849, Maine or Mass?. He died in Mass. in 1887. He married Caroline C. Wright,in Mass. She was born in 1857,died in April 1916 in Mass. Their son, Horace J. Hatch was one of five children , born Jan. 20, 1883 Andover Mass. Died Dec. 8, 1959 in Malden Mass. He married Sarah Phoebe White, daughter of Joshua LeBlanc (White) and Mary Doucette. She was born 1885 in Reading Mass and died in 1966 in Malden Mass. Does anyone have any connections to this family? This is the only information I have on Francis and Lewis Hatch. Would like to find other connections to this Hatch line if possible. Thank you for your help. Donna
