Greetings Listers, First, I want to extend a special note of thanks to Frances Raye, Maisil Miller, and Terry Holt for their help with my Harrington and Calder and other geneology questions. Their help has been extremely thorough and wonderful! If I lived in Maine I would petition Gov. King to honor their devotion to preserving both Eastport's and Washington County's history. I have made a few major break throughs using the information they have sent in the past. The most recent is the discovery that the wife of Andrew Harrington III of Eastport, Phoebe Ann Herrington was the daughter of Nancy Clary and Joseph Herrington of Georgetown and Edgecomb, ME respectively. I've pulled together those lineages with the help of several email correspondents and a few other sources. Nancy Clary Herrington married secondly Jonas Temple Keyes and they had one daughter, Dolly Temple Keyes, born in Eastport. It appears that Nancy may have married a third time to a Harriman. Andrew Harrington III and Phoebe Ann Herrington named some of their kids after Jonas Keyes' family, including their firstborn, Israel Keyes Harrington who was named for Jonas Keyes' father. My ancestor, John Bent Harrington appears to be named for Dolly Temple Keyes' husband John Bent. I would be happy to share the other information I have on those lines. Now for my question. Does anyone have access to preloyalist records? I am trying to find out where Andrew Harrington I came from before settling on Moose Island. It appears that he had land near Grand Lake and was one of the pre-loyalists who petitioned for compensation when that land was taken from him. In the petition Andrew tells the Gov. of NB that he was run off his land on Moose Island when the war broke out and that he had settled on Deer Island. This fits with Esther Clark Wright's book that lists Andrew as first having land at Grand Lake and then Deer Island. His first kids were born on Deer Island, including Andrew II my ancestor. Also, Sarah Frost, his mother-in-law is listed on Deer Island in 1792. Andrew's one deed for his farm on Moose Island is a transfer from John Curry who just happens to have been a partner or somehow involved in the sawmill on the St. Croix that was operated by James Frost, Jeremiah Frost, Sarah and Curry. Has anyone on the list come across documents that might show where Andrew came from? I have a hunch he may be from the family of Edward Harrington (Harraden) of Glouscester. That family used the name Andrew quite a bit and the Eastport Harringtons had four generations of Andrews. Also, are there any old sketches or photos of the Golden Ball Hotel and Farm on Moose Island or of the Spring Farm, or of the Harrington school that is mentioned in a letter to the Eastport Sentinal in 1901 by William Harrington. If they exist could someone scan those images and send them via email?

Does anyone have a copy of Maine Probate Abstracts, 2 vols. by John Frost? Or - Maine Wills by Sargent?? If so, I need a couple of quick look-ups. Thanks, Susan.
