Greetings Fellow Listers, I am relatively new to your list and have been listening and have decided to post my connections to York County in hopes I can find out some more information as well as perhaps connect with a "cousin" or something. I descend from SAMUEL RAMSELL born abt 1766 died 4 Mar 1848( also found spelled RAMSDELL) and his wife ELIZABETH MORRILL born 9 August 177o died 31 Aug 1847( also spelled MERRILL or MORRELL). They are found in the Parsonfield York County Census for 1820 and 1830. Many members of their family died around 1847. Does anyone know of any type of out break that occured about that time? I am trying to find where and when exactly SAMUEL RAMSELL was born as well as if what I suspect is true and that ELIZABETH MORRILL is the daughter of DAVID MORRILL and SARAH LEWIS of NORTH BERWICK/BERWICK, York County,ME. SAMUEL and ELIZABETH had at least the following children: ANNA( m a JOHN EMERY) JOHN ,GEORGE( m. to a SALLY SCRIGGINS) and IRA(M. to a MARTHA WENTWORTH) Supposedly they are buried in a small cemetery outside of Parsonsfieild along with some of their grandchildren. John and Ira both lived in Cornish for a time. Any connections? any help out there? Thanks for "listening" Sincerely Yvonne Ramsell Simonson
