Some of my ancestors, the Neal : family, came from Berwick on Tweed. They settled in Berwick, Maine, in the : mid-1600's. My parents still live on the original grant, across the street from : ever-so-great-grandpa Guptill's house, built in 1678. I'm hunting the origin of : the family name Guptill. Some people think it is a French name, possibly : Gobtaille, but I'm not sure. : : Other ancestors may have come from a small coal-mining town named Colby, and : they bore the surname of Colby. : : Wilson is a pretty hard one to tease out of the background; I've gotten stumped : with great-grandfather Daniel Wilson, b. 18 June 1846, (according to his wife's : note on the back of a photograph) somewhere in eastern New Hampshire, USA. : Family lore has it that his father's name was Tristram Wilson, and that he was : born around 1816 in Sanford, Maine, USA, but I can't find him in the records : anywhere. The problem with Daniel is that he lied about his age and background : when he enlisted (1861) in the Union Army, because he was underaged and had run : away from home. : : : :
