Hi Linda, What an interesting story!!! In "Marriage Returns of Washington County, Maine, prior to 1892", I found no STOKOE, checked all surnames that began with 'STO' and found no matches. Also, didn't find any SPEARS, or any matches under SPARIN, SPEARIN/G. "Vital Records from the Eastport Sentinel of Eastport, Maine, 1818-1900" Maine Genealogical Society, edited by Kenneth L. Willey. Picton Press. The only Naomi I found was: Vol 72 #10, 12 Feb 1890 Deaths: In Calais, 3 Feb 1890, Naomi SPEARING, 46 y.

Hi Bev, Would you please do a lookup for me in the Eastport Sentinel on the death of Wilbert M (or Moses W.) SMALL who died at sea in 1876. Also, if you have time, the death of his father Moses H. SMALL, who also died at sea in November 1886 (died after his son). Many thanks, Dick

Hi, I saw Bev Bird's message saying there was no Rhoda Pike in her books. I was told by a member of the Alexander-Crawford Historical Society that Rhoda Pike was born November 24, 1810 in Princeton, Maine. She married William Bonney July 16, 1828 and married second Stephen Billings August 25, 1838. I have children from each marriage and some census data for her daughter Abigail Spencer Bonney. I'll be happy to share with anyone who is interested. Alta

Hi Nikki, "Marriage Returns of Washington County, Maine, prior to 1892" Maine Genealogical Society, edited by Alice MacDonald Long. Picton Press. No BILLINGS listed. PIKE's listed - Abba C.; Nancy W.; Sally M. "Vital Records from the Eastport Sentinel of Eastport, Maine, 1818-1900" Maine Genealogica Society, edited by Kenneth L. Willey. Picton Press. BILLINGS listed are - Capt.; Chas; Eliza; Frances E.; George; Hester G; Horace; John; Lucy Swan; Mary; Pamella J.; Sarah Ann; Sarah Arlanna; Sarah J. S.; Soloman; William; Wm. PIKES's - no Rhoda.
