Park...can't thank you enough for all the work you went to! But I know we genealogy folks love to help and give clues!! I have to go off to work this am...so will write up details where I believe there are connections and give you whole basic family tradition..which reaches from Red Beach, Calais Me to Bowdoinham, Wells, Barh and Gardiner, to Boston and Winthrop ma. Winthrop was where I was born and my father also.His Mother Edith Abigail Cottrell Brown ma. George F Waite there..and she is the lady who gave me the bits and peices. names Parlin, Brown, Whittemore(Benj and Andrew) all have meaning. George Files Temple seems familiar as does Solon. Thanks again and I will post the whole confusing situation this afternoon. Carol ps isn't it great when the list is acxtive like this? Joanne had a great idea!! Just remembered two other bits info..John Temple ma Eliz Bowdoin ca 1730?? and a Temple ma a Josiah Parlin who was in Rev. war. Thanks again
