My ggg-grandmother was Harriet Stearns. She married Samuel Bennett probably in Waldo or Franklin Co and had Persis Bennett, my gg-grandmother in abt. 1850. In the 1860 census Persis Bennett and her brother James were living with a Greenleaf Spaulding family a couple houses away from Samuel and Harriet in Franklin Co (New Vineyard?) By the 1870 census the family was in Aroostook Co and Persis was there too. Does anyone know of any Stearns from Franklin or Waldo Counties or even any Stearns from Maine in the 1840's through 1870's? Cheryl
