A young adult (early 20s) at the time I read a poem, stating my prophesy that my Poppa Wally was the link that held this family together and that now that he was gone, I feared this chain would fall apart.

I came across Lyman Wallace while looking at a family plot I had recently discovered, and was photographing the stones and taking down names and information. Lyman and his wife, Mary were off to the very front/ side of the large plot by themselves, Lyman's small military stone practically sliding off the edge of the lawn into the dirt road that curved its way around the peninsula of stones. No birth date nor death date for this poor man who had serviced his country during one of our bloodiest wars in history, and now became a person no one can find in a single family tree research program. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would have assumed nothing of him if it weren't for the man's last name. It was Wallace. I knew that the grand tall stone that stood behind and center on that same piece of land had the name of a Captain, and his wife, Amaril (she was a challenge too!) What the stone does not say is that Amaril's maiden name was Wallace as well. I remember searching census records trying to get her maiden name, and on most censuses, they couldn't even get her first name right! They had every spelling and variation under the sun for her name, but rarely was it Amaril. However, since I knew family knew her name and spelling, I trusted them. Then I found Amaril's name mentioned on one of her daughter's death certificates. They also put her maiden name on it! THERE! I knew it was Wallace, but really needed to prove it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lyman's wife was Mary. After a little research, I discovered that Mary's maiden name was likely the same surname as her husband's, which, in this particular Wallace family was not so surprising to me. The question remained whether the name was truly spelled with "ACE" or "IS".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Wallace and Wallis families populated the Phippsburg area back in the 1700's. William Wallace & Rhoda Blethen had many children, and those children had children, for generations, with names that were passed on from generation to generation. Mary is not the only Mary Wallace. Unfortunate for me, Lyman Wallace was a bit more of a rarity. Did he have a first name and Lyman is his first name? The task of hunting down his parents and confirming Mary's parents began. I thought perhaps Mary was Amaril's sister, and indeed find a Mary as a sibling, but no list from any of the censuses had a mention of Amaril, so again I doubted myself. For Lyman, all I could find was a Lermand or something. In every cencus under Lyman's alleged parents, it carried on as Lermon or something similar, never turning up as Lyman. Then comes Mary married to another fellow. Well, Lyman had his stint in the Civil War, so he did not marry young. He was at least in his mid thirties when he was discharged on 8 July 1864. Since it states elsewhere that they married in 1865, she was at a similar age.</div>

Dyer; Village Soup; Camden, MaineFebruary 18, 2012<br />
<br />
We are all familiar with history telling us about <b>James Richards</b>, "Camden's first settler", who sailed into Camden harbor on May 8, 1769 with his wife <b>Betsy</b> (Elizabeth Hasson) and an African American cook. Also familiar are his brothers, <b>Dodipher</b>, and <b>Joseph</b>, who previously came here to cut wood and returned to Bristol to tell <b>James</b> what a beautiful place this was to settle. They had a sister, <b>Sarah</b>, the oldest child of <b>James Richards</b> and <b>Sarah Foss</b>. Not much is mentioned about her, probably because women were not important in those days. However, I am going to talk about her for a bit.<br />
<br />
She was born about 1748 at Dover or Rochester, NH, and married <b>Joseph Hardy</b> on July 5, 1775 in Camden. He was born February 8, 1748 in Westerly, Rhode Island. They had the following children:<br />
<br />
-<b>Joseph Hardy II</b> was born 25 September 1775, who married <b>Elizabeth Thorndike</b>, daughter of <b>Robert Thorndike</b>. He died in 1843 in Nauvoo, Illinois, as did his wife. They had nine children.<br />
<br />
-<b>Sarah Hardy</b>, born 1777 and married<b> Joseph Bailey</b> on 17 May 1800 in Camden, Maine. Sarah died 31 December 1862 at the "poor farm" in Camden, Maine.<br />
<br />
-<b>Lydia Hardy</b> was born in 1779 and married <b>William Hassan, Jr</b>. They had seven children.<br />
<br />
<b>-Zachariah Hardy</b> was born 12 March 1781<br />
<br />
<br />
There may have been more or fewer, but researching back to the 1700s becomes conflicting and confusing.<br />
<br />
So I do not have much to write about <b>Sarah Richards Hardy</b>, but the Hardy family is prolific. Starting with her husband, <b>Joseph Hardy</b>, the following is a bit of their history. It appears that <b>Joseph Hardy</b> came from Westerly, Rhode Island where he had been apprenticed at age five because his parents, <b>James</b> and <b>Sarah (Palmenter) Hardy</b> were town paupers. <br />
<br />
In 1769, <b>Joseph</b> had a sister-in-law, <b>Mary Pendleton Hardy</b>, in Stonington, Connecticut. <b>Joseph</b>, prior to the American Revolution came to Islesborough, Maine, probably with the Pendletons.<br />
<br />
In 1771, he was permitted to settle in Camden, Maine by the Twenty Associates. Approximately 13 years later,<b> Joseph Hardy</b> sold 100 acres of land in Camden bounding on the town line, and the mill privilege, being 100 rods wide and half -mile in length. In 1787, <b>Joseph</b> was on Seven Hundred Acre Island and sold land there. The following year he sold more land on Seven Hundred Acre Island and bought 100 acres of land in Camden, beginning at the southwest corner of the <b>James Richards, Jr</b>. lot. The next year, the Camden Town Records read: "1782 Dec. 24 Camden selectmen gave notice to <b>Joseph Hardy</b>, <b>Joseph Hardy, Jr</b>., <b>Zachariah Hardy</b>, <b>Lydia Hardy</b> and <b>Sarah Hardy</b> to leave limits of town of Camden within 15 days with their children and those under their care." In 1798, he was listed in Islesborough with a house valued at $40 and 100 acres of land valued at $110.<br />
<br />
In 1790 US census <b>Joseph Hardy</b> is listed as head of a household at Isleborough. Males older than 16- 1, males under age 16- 2, females- 3. In 1800 Us Census <b> Joseph Hardy</b> is listed as head of household with males under 10- 1, males 25- 45- 1, females 25- 45-1. When asked "Where did you come from?" the answer was "Connecticut".<br />
<br />
<b>Joseph </b>and <b>Sarah (Richards) Hardy</b> lived in Islesborough, and according to town Record Books: "23 April 1815 <b>Joseph Hardy</b> and his wife to <b>Joshua Dodge </b>(the low bidder) for $4.75 per month at "Publick (auction) vendue" (meaning the town paid someone to care for them). Then in 1816; "Voted <b>Mrs. Hardy </b>should remain as she was last year. (There was a town expense in Camden that year for<b> Mrs. Hardy</b>.) It was rumored that she had separated from her husband and had been brought to Camden to live with her daughter, <b>Lydia Hassan</b>. She died in Camden January 25, 1828.<br />
<br />
The town of Isleborough continued to pay for <b>Joseph Hardy</b> even after he moved to Searsmont to live with his son, <b>Joseph Hardy, Jr.</b>, whom the town of Islesborough paid to care for the father. The last entry regarding him in the Islesborough records is dated February 9, 1841, when the "town meeting voted to support <b>Joseph Hardy</b> in the town where he is." He apparently died shortly after.<br />
<br />
For of <b>Joseph Hardy II</b> and <b>Elizabeth</b>'s children were born 1805 to 1812 at Passamaquoddy, New Brunswick, Canada, where he was one of the petitioners for land on Deer Island in Passamaquoddy Bay. He returned to Searsmont, where the story goes that <b>Joseph II </b>first heard the Gospel preached by <b>Elder William Hyde</b> in Searsmont. He was so impressed that he was soon converted and baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1840. On September 5, 1842 he and members of his family left Maine to join the Latter Day Saints.<br />
<br />
They left their homes and all they possessed, taking only what they could carry on a wagon. The family members were<b> Joseph II </b>and wife <b>Betsy</b>; <b>Zacarhiah</b> (eldest son), his wife <b>Eliza Philbrook</b>, and children; <b>Lewis</b> (second son) and wife; <b>Elisa</b> (daugher) and her husband <b>Abiah Wadsworth</b> and their family; and <b>Joseph</b> (third son) with his wife and their three married children. It was a long rough journey and the father, <b>Joseph II</b>, died in 1842 in Illinois, and wife, <b>Betsy</b>, died in 1843. <b> Zachariah</b> was chosen body guard for Prophet <b>Joseph Smith</b> until the Prophet's death and <b>Brigham Young</b> became their leader.<br />
<br />
<b>Zachariah</b> died in 13 February 1846 at Montrose, Illinois of pneumonia.<br />
<br />
<b>Joseph Hardy, Jr</b>.. and <b>Elizabeth Thorndike</b>'s youngest son had a son, <b>Robert Hardy</b> who was born 3 April 1815 in Camden, and who married <b>Mehitable Thorndike</b> in 1839. Both were born and died in Camden, and were first cousins. They were both grandchildren of <b>Robert </b>and <b>Deborah (Wallis) Thorndike</b>, the first settler of Rockport, Maine.<br />
<br />
<b>Mehitable</b> was a granddaughter of <b>James Jr. </b>and <b>Elizabeth (Hassan) Richards</b>, the first settlers of Camden, Maine. <b>Robert Hardy</b> was a grand nephew of the same.<br />
<br />
<b>Robert Hardy</b> lived in Searsomont, Burnham, Rockport, Lincolnville and Camden. He was a farmer, ship's carpenter and peddler of dry goods. They had four sons. One of them, <b>Robert Willard Hardy</b>, married <b>Carrie Etta Young</b> and they lived in Lincolnville and Camden. One of their daughters, <b>Jennie</b>, married <b>James Russell Carver</b>. One of <b>Jennie</b> and <b>Russ</b>'s four daughters, <b>Doris (Carver) Delano</b>, has a son, <b>Sandy Delano</b>, who has kindly shared some of his Hardy family research here.<br />
<br />
May descendants of the Youngs, Hardys, Richards, etc., are in Lincolnville today. The Youngstown Cemetery in Lincolnville is full of the related people, but Mountain View has many of the Richards family, also <b>Robert</b> and <b>Mehitable (Thorndike) Hardy</b>.<br />
<br />
So much for the Hardy family. What secrets from the grave will be next?<br />

Then there are a few issues I have with the online family research groups themselves. Below is a list of my pet peeves and a couple of suggestions as well:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRIP5b6gtJb8IGvHJGCKp0kJf08KPo-egknoRT7X452Un0-RtjQTAWUElb10hKlVw7x1R8l-AhrOie1t2GzDKud5M-zzk2Ctvh6_Cxw-uvvkABTw4gjZmHbJlBKzIhj2lw0uI4C0EtTk/s1600/BMC-28+p.+65.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRIP5b6gtJb8IGvHJGCKp0kJf08KPo-egknoRT7X452Un0-RtjQTAWUElb10hKlVw7x1R8l-AhrOie1t2GzDKud5M-zzk2Ctvh6_Cxw-uvvkABTw4gjZmHbJlBKzIhj2lw0uI4C0EtTk/s1600/BMC-28+p.+65.jpg" height="237" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1- typing "Unknown" in a space meant for a family name. If you don't know it, leave it blank or it will show up when accepting information from resources such as family trees! (Ancestry.com)<br />
<br />
2- typing the dates the wrong way. The proper way to write the dates is to write it out. 3 June 1970 is how it must be written out on Familysearch. Why not do this on every site? I have also seen it done this way 1970-00-00 if only the year is known. Please don't do that. Just put the year. If you don't know the date at all, leave it blank.<br />
<br />
3- If you do not know the wife's name, do not replace it with her married name. Leave it blank. It will mess up the matching process and you will get a lot of resources that do not apply to the woman. If you don't know the woman's name at all, please leave it blank. Do not put things like "Mrs. Berry" or "Mrs. William Berry". Leave it empty. If I accept your family tree I do not want to have to correct everything. I have begun to not accept family trees with these mistakes in them. (Ancestry.com)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
4- Listing just the name and nothing else. If you know an approximate date, list it. If you know what country, at least list the country. If you know the state, add that and so on. I usually estimate at least 20 years younger than the first child's birthday when trying to figure out the mother's birthdate.<br />
<br />
5- When you accept sources, make sure the dates and places match the information you already have. Make sure you do not list a child to a family where the child is born around the same time as the mother. Make sure the women are not too old to have children. I usually get wary when the mother is in her 50s and still having children, but it happens.<br />
<br />
6- Make sure that you give a gap of at least 9 months between children, unless they are listed as twins. You should not have multiple children born in one year with different birthdates unless the first is born in March and the second is born in December, and even that is unlikely.<br />
<br />
7- I don't know who does it, but when putting where a person was born or died, please don't put "ENG/MASS". If you do not know if they were born in England or Massachusetts, leave it blank.<br />
<br />
8- I don't know who does that, but I think there is only one person who does this and it really annoys me: don't put "5-s & 3-d" in the section that asks you to list out the children. They want their names. If you must do something, put "Baby boy" 5 times and then enter the last name. Then add "Baby girl" 3 times and add the last name.<br />
<br />
9- Familysearch- There is a number of misinformation in the trees, and often it will not allow you to delete or merge the person to correct it. VERY FRUSTRATING!<br />
<br />
10- Type capitol letters on the beginning of all names unless it's nationality calls for a lowercase letter (such as with a surname like: "van Otterloo".)<br />
<br />
11- I love when the address of where a person died is added to the "place of death" for people from the UK area. However, there is only room for a town, county, state and country. Please add that note elsewhere on the person's profile.<br />

<br />
<br />
12- Findagrave.com users- IF you do not know where a person is buried and do not know where the memorial is, please do not create an account for that person. This site is called "Find a grave" yes, but you have to find the grave first in order to post it. At least know what cemetery they are in.<br />
<br />
14- A note to let people know that not all vital records are correct. Example in my own tree: The marriage of my great Grandmother and Great Grandfather, my Gr. Grandmother actually lists her grandmother as her mother. I don't know if she was aware of that error or if she really didn't know her mother's name, but even though I have the record of their marriage, and it is recorded in the vitals that way does not make it correct.<br />
<br />
15- Native American ancestors- There are a lot of tales and family legends that include Native Americans in otherwise white (or other nationality) families. Some may be correct. Some may have a bit of truth to them, and some may be totally made up. If you can back up your random Native American with something other than someone else's family tree, records somewhere, diary entries, skills etc. at that as a source. Check out if the date and place your ancestor is said to have lived matches what was going on in that time period. Don't expect Anglo names from your Native relatives, but don't expect that they did not also have an English name given to them by the white people so that they could remember and pronounce their name. Back in the 1600s, the English language did not have correct spellings of much of anything. Thus, mutations of names and places have occurred over the centuries. This goes for Native American names and places as well. Names will have odd spellings because they would spell the name how it sounded to them. "No- Pee" derived from "Nope". It is not necessarily a hoax, but make sure all the dates and places match before even accepting the information.<br />
-- be aware of mentions of "Indian princesses" in your family tree.<br />
-- Learn about what tribes were in that area around the time your ancestor was and see if it matches facts.<br />
-- Know that if the marriage was a tribal marriage, there may be no record of the wedding.<br />
-- Make sure your sources are credible.<br />

<br />
<br />
16- Often if a baby was born and died young or if a child was born and was deemed "simple" or any other words to describe a defect, the parents may name another child with the same name. Make sure you don't merge these children together. Get rid of duplicate names in your family tree (if the program lets you like Familysearch who may not).<br />
<br />
17- If a death certificate lists a cause of death, take note of that in that person's profile. It is an interesting way to track the health of a family over the generations.<br />
<br />
18- Many people used to use the same names generation to generation. I get why, but it really makes finding the right people really difficult. That is why other information is so important, so you can tell one Elizabeth Smith from the next ten Elizabeth Smiths in the tree.<br />
<br />
19- Please READ CAREFULLY the information you accept into your tree! Other people doing their trees what the facts of their ancestors. Do not blindly accept any and all information you find. If you are not sure, save that information elsewhere until you find out that it is a match. This goes for Familysearch and Ancestry (those are the two I work with). If you cannot find a person in one of these family tree sites, try Googling the ancestor and finding the information elsewhere. You may be surprised at what you find out!<br />
<br />
20- I've notices that some sources that pop up as hints have very little information to them to the point where it could be my person or maybe not. There are census records that just has a list of men on them. No other information. There is no way I can tell if that person with the same name is my person from that census. I won't accept those types of hints.<br />

I have discovered that he has been holding back on me! He has an absolute treasure trove of family photos stored away in shoe-boxes. Even though not everyone is labeled for quick identification, many are, and there were some I am seeing for the first time ever! How exciting! And even better, my Dad let me take a bunch home for scanning! I have half scanned and labeled, and the other half is scanned, but not labeled yet. Among the treasures my Father brought out at Thanksgiving were a number of architectural sketches and paintings from Scotland. Not all are signed, but the two artists are most likely William Glashan and John Norrie. I will be posting photos of them to this blog in a special section so maybe someone can help identify who did the unsigned ones.<br />

I think any one of us living today can be thankful for our Pilgrim Relatives, the passengers of the first sail of the infamous Mayflower in Autumn of 1620. After all, without them, we would not be here at all!</div>

How many generations connect you with the original sailing of the Mayflower? Below I will share my different connections.</div>

<b><i>The Mayflower Compac</i></b><b style="font-style: italic;">t </b>was a document of a list of rules and temporary government that was created and signed by the men on the Mayflower before heading ashore and settling. Since the original destination was supposed to be Virginia, where there already were laws and a government, they would need something to keep the order in this secluded land on which they were about to settle. To me, it is kind of like a Declaration of Independence. You want your ancestors to have signed this important piece of paper.</div>

</div>
<b>Amaril</b> was supposedly born in Small Point (Phippsburg), Maine, in Sagadahoc County (but was part of Lincoln County back then) in June of 1819. She married<b> Jeremiah McIntire (Jr)</b> who was a Captain, and they had and raised their family in Rockport, Maine (in Knox County). That is where this cemetery is near Beauchamp Point. It has been a big job trying to find out what <b>Amaril's</b> maiden name was, and then the biggest challenge was trying to find out who her parents were. We actually made this trip to the cemetery to find <b>George Demmons</b> and his wife <b>Leonice N. Grant</b>. Instead we found the mother-load for the <b>Berry</b> clan, and as we were still patting ourselves on the back for that, we walked around the corner and found the <b>Demmons</b> family and several <b>Demmons</b> family members. This whole family must have just rented out this whole corner of the cemetery for them, because the only 2 stones not in this corner were from the <b>Thomas</b> part of the family, the stones of 2 infant children of <b>John H. Thomas </b>and <b>Mercy H. Grant</b>, my 5x grandparents. The infants' stones were off the left side of the cemetery. We did not find the <b>Thomas's </b>(<b>John </b>and <b>Mercy's</b>) stones though.<br />

NOT HER PARENTS---<br />
<br />
So upon closer inspection I see the dated are from the same generation for all three stones. Though <b>Mary </b>and <b>Lyman</b> are NOT her parents, Mary's maiden name is also Wallace. It is believed that <b>Mary A. Wallace</b> (1828) is Amaril's sister, and that perhaps their parents are <b>Josiah Wallace</b> and <b>Charlotte Wallace</b> (same for married name). Lyman's (born 15 Sep. 1822) parents are probably <b>James Wallace</b> and<b> "Austrus" Sinclair</b>. I may never be able to confirm this connection since I am going by census records and names are often misspelled. Look at poor Amaril... every census I found her on her name was spelled in a different variation, but it was obviously her based on the husband, location, birth dates and children listed.<br />
<br />
I can look at discovering Lyman and Mary's stones as one step closer to finding Amaril's parents.<br />
<br />
Update- <b>Mary Wallac</b>e married <b>Lyman Wallace</b>, and Mary's maiden name is Wallace. <b> Mary</b> is <b>Amaril's </b>sister! THAT has helped me locate and identify Amaril's parents, in spite of all the misspellings of names in all the censuses. Lyman's name isn't correct in any of them either! So, it is official. Without further ado, here are Amaril's parents!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Josiah Wallace</b></u> (son of <b><u>John Wallace</u></b> and <u><b>Hannah McIntire</b></u>)<br />
b. 17 December 1797<br />
Small Point, Maine (Phippsburg/Georgetown)<br />
<br />
d. 2 October 1879<br />
Phippsburg, Maine (Georgetown)<br />
<br />
Married 17 July 1817 in Phippsburg, Maine to:<br />
<br />
<b><u>Charlotte Wallace</u></b> (daughter of <b><u>William Wallace</u></b> and <b>Rhoda Blethen</b>)<br />
b. 26 April 1798<br />
Georgetown, Maine<br />
<br />
d.2 July 1898<br />
probably in Georgetown/West Point, Maine<br />
<br />
Yes,<b> Josiah</b> and <b>Charlotte</b> ARE related. I think they are cousins. No,<b> Lyman</b> and <b>Mary</b> are NOT (that I can find) related.HeatherELGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243560898834062663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487441797165632015.post-50739034893586662922013-08-22T22:56:00.002-04:002014-04-10T22:49:59.973-04:00August 11, 2013- In My FamilyOn August 11, 1947 my mother was born in Camden, Maine to Ralph & Louise Berry of Camden.

For my Mother's birthday, my sisters, their families, and me and mine gathered at her home she shares with her husband David Henderson (my youngest sister is his daughter) on Megunticook River in Camden, Maine. Fortunately it was a beautiful day and we ate Lobster rolls on a table outside on the lawn. My dog got to play with my niece Fiona, down on the dock. Rosie (the dog) dove after the ball Fiona threw over and over for her, would retrieve and bring it faithfully back to shore to be thrown again. Nola, my youngest niece seems timid of Rosie this visit. At Christmas, she was right there playing with her as we came into the door. Not this trip! I wish I could see them more.</div>

Uncle David was predeceased by his son and oldest child, Edward Lee Lindquist, who died 1 March 2013 in Wysox, PA when he was hit by a truck while riding on his Harley (he hadn't even had it a month). He (Uncle David) is survived by his younger child, Elizabeth Lindquist, a wife, Joyce, an ex-wife, Sue Merritt, my father and his youngest brother, another brother (the oldest) Peter Anson Lindquist of New Mexico, 7 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter (all by cousin Ed).<br />
<br />
Uncle David was smart, athletic, and I remember how well his dogs were trained. I remember thinking I want my dogs to be that well-trained. Too bad he never met Rosie. She is way smarter than those dogs!HeatherELGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243560898834062663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487441797165632015.post-63608578352013649282013-07-28T02:10:00.002-04:002013-07-28T02:25:39.666-04:00William and Rhoda Wallace of Phippsburg, Maine -circa 1700s<div style="text-align: center;">

He was a passenger! As I looked at this list, I was amazed to recognize many surnames in my own tree, and nodding as I could remember what family it belonged to. Amazing really. I began tracking the <b>Demmons</b> part of my family back (goes to <b>Oldham</b>, <b>Wetheral</b>, and <b>Sprout</b>) and decided to find the misses parents. I found their parents and their parents and... well you get the picture. That family traveled all the way up to northern Maine (Downeast) from Massachusetts, and then back down to Rockport in the area where my family still resides.<br />
<br />
*I highlighted in <b>Bold</b> text the surnames related to my family.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

Anyway, if you are interested to see if any of your surnames are on here, take a look at this list. Check out the site too. One of my favorites.<br />

Demmons Relocates from Washington County, Maine to Penobscot County, Maine<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leonice N. Grant, b. 8 Apr. 1857 in Bradley, Penobscot Co., Maine Married George H. Demmons, b. Nov. 1840 in Marion or Whiting, Washington Co., Maine on 18 Jan. 1874 in Bangor, Maine. They gave birth to all of their babies in Bradley Villiage(Great Works), and the Old Town area, but it seems that they all moved to the Rockport, Knox Co., Maine area where many of them would live their lives, marry, raise families themselves and die. The patriarch, George H. Demmons, was a Mayflower descendant, and like many of them, they worked their way up the coast generation after generation, finding new places along the way.<br />
<br />
One problem we genealogists may have today when searching out family members from days long past is now non-existent towns, renamed towns, even towns that have turned to lakes! Great Works, Maine does not exist anymore. It did not take me too long to find out where it was, because there is still a town there. Bradley, Penobscot Co., Maine is up the river from where I presently live in Bangor. There are 3 towns and a bridge between me and this town. I am eager to learn a little bit about this area to see what the big attraction was for George to relocate from Washington County, as it is not a short trip even today.<br />
<br />
I found a site with an old map of Bradley Village or Great Works, Maine and thought I'd share it with you! Zoom in and out to find the right map.</div>

Whether the child is 30 years or 30 weeks gestation, the loss is felt with all your heart and soul. For me, a miscarriage at the end of the first trimester felt like my body had rejected my own child. I know, maybe that sounds silly considering that at the time, they were all one, but that is how I felt. Even in a brief time, I had built up hopes and dreams for this child. The baby had a name. A life grew inside of me. It was all such a miracle. I even started a journal at the suggestion of a friend of mine who gave one to me for a Christmas present.<br />

One of the difficult parts of doing family history is hunting for all the lost babies and children. Especially the babies, because if they died in early infancy, often they were never mentioned. Maybe there would be a tiny tombstone that would be in the family plot. Some are adoringly decorated with lambs, angels and cherubs, flowers, and the dates of a very short life. Back a hundred or so years ago contagious diseases would whipe out households, and even communities (like small pox epidemics, Scarlet Fever, Polio). In a graveyard you would see whole families that died off one by one in fairly close succession. It was something that unfortunately was very common. Some families would name their next child with the same name of the child that died young, which makes for some confusing family research work. I don't think I could have ever done something like that, but many did.<br />

One of my cousin's (from the Waltz side, my great x3 grandfather's brothers' 3x grandchild, or something like that) wife had a miscarriage on early Monday morning. She was 13 weeks along. My cousin and his wife are very distraught, which is to me very understandable. On his Facebook Page I typed something like "I sooo know what you're going through" which sounds trivial, but for the simple fact that I do know what it feels like to lose a baby at that point in gestation. I truly hope they understand that I did not write that on a whim. My cousin stated he'd never hurt so much before. I know, from the mother's point of view, what that pain is like, and it is deeply felt.<br />

They will have a funeral on Thursday for the baby. I am a little jealous of that as I did not have a body<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
to view or hold or bury. My body did not "abort" the baby. I had to have it removed. It was quite traumatizing, though at the time I tried to keep a tough front. I suspect that having a funeral will provide the family with some sort of an end that I may never feel. They will have a stone to memorialize their dear baby boy. (Yeah, I'm jealous). It will not soothe the loss but help them to grieve. A stone, maybe could symbolize "Yes, I was a real baby you lost." They will have a place to lay flowers or teddy bears.</div>

Children choose us before they are born. They are excited to become our children and provide us with love and lessons and grace. Even the child that is never born from a womb has a purpose and has completed his journey. Something became of that journey. I will never know what Mattea's purpose is til death, but she left an indelible mark on my heart and in my life. One day I hope that I will be able to meet my baby lost so many years ago. I hope I am good enough for that.</div>

My cousin and his wife have been blessed with 3 children already. They do not know it now perhaps, but this fourth baby was a blessing as well. I have to say that I envy them there too, to have 3 children. I have none. I wanted a few, but it just never happened. I was supposed to be a mother. It is just in me. I grew up never thinking that I wouldn't become a mother. I don't know if I will ever feel like my life was complete because I will have never been a mother to a live child. Never have that chance to try my hand in parenthood. Maybe it is for the best.</div>

This past spring he made a trip back down to Deleware to where he used to live to pick up a bunch of his belongings, including a whole bunch of old furniture. My Great Uncle Ellsworth Philip passed away a few years back and my Dad got a lot of his old furniture including a huge roll top desk. Recently, while going through the drawers still full of things Uncle Ellsworth kept inside them, Dad found a bunch of old family photos. They are beautifully kept, and Dad has sent scans of all of them. I was able to help him identify some of the people he didn't know, and though we still have questions on a few of them, it was a joy to go through them.<br />

One of my Australian relatives says she does not think this is the Norrie family of Scotland because he is in over-alls and they did not have those in Scotland at that time. So my question is: Who is this family? Is it the Anson family on my grandfather's side that had been in the United States for years before everyone else on my father's side of the family? Who is the child? The Mother? So this photo remains unidentified.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Friday, March 31, 1893-- James Richards</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>James Richards</i></b>, the oldest man in Camden, who passed away March 13 (1893) in his 95th year, was visited a few weeks previous by a representative of the press, who found him comfortably seated by the fire at his home on Free Street, one bitter cold day in February and was welcomed by a hearty handshake and pleasant smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes,” said he, “I suppose I’m the oldest man in Camden. I was born in Camden in a log cabin on what is now Pearl Street, near where I now live, and have lived my life time. My grandfather, <b><i>James Richards</i></b>, was the first settler in Camden, coming here in 1768 and building a log house right back of the village hall lot, about where the Methodist Church stood before the fire. I was the fifth child in a family of thirteen. My grandfather came from Bristol, Maine, to which place he had moved the year before from a place on the Piscataqua river, New Hampshire. My father’s name was <b><i>James</i></b> and he married the first white woman born in Camden, <b><i>Mehitable</i></b>, daughter of <b><i>Robert Thorndike</i></b>, who was the next settler after my grandfather. My <b><i>grandfather Thorndike</i></b> lived to be 104 years old. Soon after my <b><i>grandfather Richards</i></b> settled in Camden, his father, who was also named<b> James</b>, came here from Dover, New Hampshire and in a few years died and was buried in Camden.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This locality was a great place for hunting and fishing, and my grandfather came here to settle on that account. He came in a small vessel with his negro slave. When they rounded the Southern entrance to the harbor the negro pointed to the little island of ten acres, and said: ‘dar, dats my island and I’se gwin to have it.’ So the island has ever been called Negro Island. It is now owned by the Government for the Camden harbor light house station.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Did he get along well with the Indians?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes, the Penobscot Indians were always very friendly. They used to come to his log cabin and make use of his grind stone to sharpen their tomahawks on. Sometimes grandmother was afraid of them. They came once when grandfather was away, bringing some rum with them, and had a drunken pow wow. When he returned in the evening, he drove them out, one of them being so drunk that he had to be dragged out of the cabin. That was the only time he ever had any trouble with them. They used him well except once when they found out he had quite a lot of beavers housed up side of a brook on Beach Hill meadow. Grandfather would go and get one when he wanted it, but the Indians tore open the houses and got them all. Grandfather was a great bear trapper and hunter. Once a bear got into <b>John Thorndike’s</b> barn and took a calf. They came for grandfather, and he rigged a log trap. The bears returned that night, two of them, and both got caught in the trap. One was headed one way and one the other, when the log came down on them, both happening to be passing through the trap at the same time. One night, when grandfather came home, his wife told him that she had heard a bear growl near by on the side of the mountain during the afternoon. He went out and in a few minutes shot him. He weighed over 400 lbs. and was the largest one he ever killed. Grandfather used to go hunting a great deal with <b>Leonard Metcalf</b>, who ran away from the English service druing the Revolutionary times and settled in Camden, whom Locke in his history speaks of as having rode a bear bare back down Mt. Battie, finally killing him. They were once hunting for moose. That animal defends himself with his forward feet. They found a moose yearling in the deep snow, where the moose had trodden out a place to feed. <b>Metcalf </b>was on the point of getting down into the yard, when grandfather saw a big moose coming, and pulled <b>Metcalf</b> out by the collar just in time to save him from being pounded to death by the moose.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the old gentleman was relating the incident, his nephew, <b>Mr. Fred M. Richards</b>, who had been listening, returned from the attic with an old gun, a long single barreled flint lock English piece, the identical one used by the old hunter. It bore this inscription: “This gun is more than 200 years old used by <b>James Richards</b> the first settler. He killed 70 moose with it and over 100 bears”. He also brought down from the attic the large old steel bear trap, with its well worn links, which the primitive hunter used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My grandfather,” continued the old citizen, “had a hard time during the Revolutionary war. The English burned his cabin but did not find him or his family. He went up river about 2 miles and built another log cabin. The English also came up and burned that too. One of his boys saw them coming and gave the alarm in time to get the cattle away off in the woods where the English could not find them. The English burned the grist mill and the settlers then had to carry their corn through the woods twelve miles to the Warren mill. It was grandfather’s brother, <b><i>Dodapher</i></b> who was held at bay one night in the woods by wolves, on his return from Warren with a half bushel of meal on his shoulder. He stood up back to a big tree and fought them with his cane and a little dog; he would throw the dog out among the wolves, and for a little while they would fall back, and then return, the dog being afraid and coming back to his feet. In this way he kept them off until morning, when the wolves slunk away, and he returned home safe with his grist.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I can remember all about the war of 1812,” said he, “and saw the English fleet of twenty vessels sail up the Penobscot when they took Castine. The also took Belfast, but did not take Camden. They were afraid to try it. My brother, <b>Asa</b>, defended the harbor from the top of Mt. Battie with a few men and one small cannon which he carried a ball about 6 inches in diameter. I saw him fire it several times, and the balls struck the water out beyond the ledges at the entrance to the harbor. There were two other small cannons in use at the settlement. So the English passed by what they thought a strongly fortified town. My brother <b>Asa</b> and <b>Peter Ott </b>were afterwards taken prisoners at Clam Cove. They took <b>Asa</b> for a pilot, but he would only pilot them away, and so they let him go on Lassells’ Island.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On being asked to what he attributed his long life, our aged friend could give no special reason, except temperate habits. He followed his father’s occupation of running a saw and grist mill and has always been active in life until within a few years. When a young man he was a great wrestler. Few could ever take him down. He went by the name of “Stiff Back”. He also used tobacco freely until he was 72 and then thought it hurt him and left it off. He never was married. He has 2 sisters living in Camden, one<b> Mrs. Eliza Simonton</b>, aged 90 and <b>Mrs. Nathaniel Crooker</b>, aged 86. These three with eight other near relatives in Camden all over 80, had a picnic a year ago last summer at Lake City, at the summer cottage of his nephew, <b>Mr. E. E. Richards</b>, of Boston. Mr. Richards always had a habit of greeting everyone with a smile and then as he was nearing the century mark, he found life a pleasure, and was enough interested in passing events to enjoy it as he was passing along.</div>

<br />
Confusing, but necessary. John Foss is frequently referred to as Johann Foss from Danish ancestry. There is no Johann. Only John who is from England. Mary Berry is often referred to as Mary Chadbourne, wife of John Foss. She is not. She is Mary Berry, daughter of William Berry and Jane Locke Hermins. I had to delete a bunch of names from my family pedigree to correct this problem, but I would rather have the truth of who I am than some false story. If these names look familiar to your family tree, read this article and figure out if you are descended from John Foss or John Fosst, Mary Chadbourne or Mary Berry.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Funny how I like all those black and white book/magazines about each town in the State of Maine. I was in my book shelf today and found 3 books that might be able to help me with my genealogy research. The first one is the black and white booklet I salvaged from some pile of books I found somewhere. It was damaged, the soft cover was ripped and many of the pages torn out of its binding. The book is named: "Mirror into the Past": Town of Passadumkeag, Maine Sesquicentennial 1835-1985. It credits: George Websters "Passadumkeag and its People", Bangor Historical Society "Battle of Scalp Rock", Bangor Daily News, Bangor Public Library, Kay Trickey, Marion Hannemann, Arlene Parker, True Severence, and includes a special thanks to Bea Mottram "for her help and advise, and all the others too many to name them all." It was compiled by Lillian Marquis. I have no idea who published it. This book seems like a good source for anyone who was descended from earlier people from that area. Though I did highlight a few surnames, I may never find out if any are actually related to me because if they were, it would be someones sisters, daughters child, and indirect. Mostly I do direct bloodlines and their spouses, and list their children and spouses if the information is available. It would be a fun read for anyone from Passudumkeag as it has old photos from the town and even has school photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did scan some of the photos from the book about Passadumkeag to possibly help people with their own family genealogy. I know that for me, there is nothing as great as seeing an old photo of a relative. I just have to remember to tag my posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next book, "The Maine Coast: Penobscot Bay Region: Special Bicentennial Supplement Maine and the American Revolution." The printing of this soft cover bookwas done at Maine Coast Printers. Rockland Ads were composed at the Island Ad-Vantages Newspaper, Stonington. Proof was read by Blanche. This book was edited and published by Richard Baker, Ellsworth Falls, Maine. Copyright 1975 by Richard Baker. It has bits of history from up and down Penobscot Bay. One of my complaints about this book is that they are telling a story about some battle or something and they leave out the names of who does what, and only add the names of the captain or maybe not even him. I am waiting for a name drop that never happens, and it is a bit frustrating. These people were a part of the American Revolution. Many of these names are around and known.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On page 23 of "The Maine Coast..." , there is a description of Rockland Bog. It doesn't say where it is. Could be in Thomaston, Warren, Rockport or Rockland. it talks about Bear Hill there. Then it goes onto tell a story about one of my relatives, Dodipher Richards who was the brother of the first settler of Camden, Maine. (They don't say who he is, but he is James Richards (Jr.). Anyway, it says a bear killed one of Dodipher's children (doesn't say which one). It goes on to say Dodipher fought for hours against blood thirsty wolves. I've never heard this story of a Bear killing one of his children. I have read a story about him taking some grain to Warren to sell (and of course he would have to hike on some trail to do this). Says the woman at the other end was alone and she was afraid of Richards. So Richards turns around and on his way home is confronted by a pack of wolves. There is a book that was written in 1909 (I believe) that tells this story, but nothing about Bear Hill or his child being killed by a bear. My husband looked it up on the internet where there was yet another story about this incident, which sounds like the person killed was not his child at all. I got this little book from the shelves of a used bookstore in Marblehead Village, MA.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The third book I pulled from my shelf also came from the old Marblehead Village, MA. This one is "Stories Behind the Stones". It was written by Gail M. Potter. Published by South Brunswick and New York: A. S. Barnes and Company, and London: Thomas Yoseloff Ltd. Copyright 1969. I got it because I became enthralled by some of the stories behind these gravestone engravings. Some told part of a long story. The author, Potter, then goes on to tell the whole story, which in most cases is quite interested, and you get a bit of history from reading them. It wasn't till later when I got involved with the internet's "Find a Grave" website, and I began taking pictures of family gravestones that I got the idea that maybe, just maybe that book had some family information in it! So I am approaching this book with a new frame of mind. I looked in the back where it has an index of names from history and some events. It even has indexed some New England towns of historic interest. Today, I highlighted any name, town or event that I know is related to my family history. I will begin reading the book probably tomorrow.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"> Edward Lee Lindquist, age 45, died on Friday March 1st, 2013 when he pulled out turning wide into the path of a tractor trailer. He was riding his new 1999 Harley Davidson at the time, & was wearing a helmet. He had left to run a quick errand and had several children home waiting for him to return. This accident occurred when Ed was pulling out of the long driveway/road. Fortunately none of the children witnessed the accident. Eddie, a loving father, Grandfather, U. S. military veteran, God loving man leaves a beautiful wife and children, a mother, sister and several other family members behind as he goes to join the Lord in Heaven. Eddie is my Uncle David's oldest child (of two). Uncle David is my father's youngest brother. I believe Eddie's birthday is May 1967.</span></div>

Ed and I never had a chance to really get to know each other while growing up, but recently, over the past few years on Facebook I had enjoyed getting to know him and his family. Politically, Eddie and I definitely did not see eye to eye, but love is unconditional. We both made it through the presidential elections of 2012 okay. He is a kind soul wrapped in a rough-looking exterior. Now, with God, he is simply a kind Soul who has shed his physical body, and is free! No pain! Rest in Peace my dear cousin.</div>

Boy do I have a lot of work to do! I have been neglecting that part of my family tree! It used to have more information than the Berry-Richards pedigree, but not anymore! I am lacking some people, and many places and dates of events. It is neat to see where both sides of the family overlap. Yes, they overlap. I am line-bred like a puppy mill puppy. Actually, I am line bred more like a well bred purebred. Nothing TOO close to cause too many problems. I bet my relatives from the Mayflower had no clue when they married their respective spouses that somewhere, hundreds of years later, their families would meet again, a few more times, to eventually create ME! <br />

Oh, and my husband and I are related. So far we are only related by marriage. I am related to Isaac Allerton who was married to Mary Norris. Mary didn't live long after arriving in Plymouth. She didn't survive the winter. She had been pregnant on the Mayflower, and gave birth as they arrived. Unfortunately her child was stillborn. I'm sure that conditions did not really support a healthy pregnancy on the Mayflower journey. She must have been weak and sick from pregnancy, birth and the long trip. Anyway, she lasted a couple months tops. Isaac remarried a woman named Fear Brewster. My husband is related to Fear. Fear ended up dying somewhere, perhaps in Machias from my reading, from one of the outbreaks that went around. No one is really sure where she was buried. Perhaps another book source has more information on that. By the way, Isaac was not a model citizen by any means. He was a scammer and swindler who was eventually kicked out of the Bay Colonies for screwing over too many Pilgrims. What do they say? You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family!<br />

I have read articles warning of family stories of the family's "Native American Princess". Don't believe all of the stories your older family members tell you. Make sure to research the facts. When I did my tree, I did just that. I knew a story that my great aunt told me about an Indian Princess that married an early Camden, Maine settler and tucked it away in my brain for future reference. Six "Greats" into my Mother's side of the family tree and there it was! It was true! (Well, I don't know about the Indian Princess part, but...) There was no story to go with it or anything, but I found the records and added her name to my family tree. My great aunt did not have access to internet genealogy sites that harbored the false "Indian Princess" scams in family tree pages. She was remembering this information from word of mouth. Someone in her family told her this. There was no need to make it up.<br />
<br />
Since this information was given to me from my seventy-something great aunt (whose mother was a Richards) I would not have to worry about my Indian Princess ancestor being fake. Well, perhaps she wasn't a princess. I am not really sure. That isn't what mattered most to me. I just wanted to have my family tree in order. Aunt Glad wanted to help me with that.<br />
<br />
Then, today, I was checking out a page on the Maine Genealogy Network and there was a site about researching Native American relatives. I clicked on the section about the "fake" indian relatives. Not me! Down the page, I saw the name "Big Thunder". My heart kind of sunk. That was supposed to be the name of my Great great great great great Grandmother's father. She couldn't be a fake! If she was then who did my great 6x Grandfather really marry? I'm here so he had to have married someone! I did a careful research of my family tree. How could this happen? <br />
<br />
Well, I read the article regarding "Big Thunder" and it seemed my heart would sink further til the very end where it gave some examples of some possible facts regarding a "Big Thunder" character. The last example was of a "Little Fawn" marrying a man named Dodipher Richards. Little Fawn was also called "Sarah Tarratine", a little factoid I discovered in my research and not something that came up in the Big Thunder scam. And of course, Little Fawn and Dodipher settled in the Camden, Maine area and had many children, as they did way back then. There were little Dodiphers and Sarahs running all around in the large Richards' family (Dodipher's brothers etc. lived fairly near).<br />
<br />
My advise is DO YOUR RESEARCH! Write down your sources. Are they reliable? Census records (not available for the time period of Dodipher and Little Fawn). Birth and Death records. Verify family stories with facts. Why the heck people would try to deceive others by posting fake family trees is beyond me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is the source that I read all this information from.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">UPDATE! June 7th, 2013 [Sarah "Little Fawn" Richards]</span></b><br />
<br />
On Maine Genealogy Network I requested information regarding my Native American relative and her husband, Dodipher Richards, asking for any kind of proof that Sarah was a Native American, or something with her real last name on it, because maybe her name wasn't "Little Fawn". I knew that the Richards part of my family is very large, generations producing many children, and many still living in the area. Today, someone posted information about that section of the Richards' family. Here is what he posted:<br />

<i><b>My 3rd great-grandfather, Mormon pioneer Willard Glover McMullin (b.1823, North Haven, Maine) married Martha Richards (b.1814, Searsmont, Maine). Martha's parents were Josiah Richards (b.1785, Maine) and Ruth Richards (b.1789, Lincolnville, Maine).

<i><b>Back to Willard and Martha...they arrived in Utah in 1848, and were sent to help establish the community of Harrisburg, Utah, in the late 1850s. From what I've read about Martha, she was an expert basket maker/weaver and was given a name by local Native American groups that translated to "Golden Woman", due to them always being welcomed at her door. I've seen her photo, she had a dark complexion and straight, black hair. If Sarah Little Fawn was both Martha's grandmother and great-grandmother, it makes sense she would have been an expert basket maker/weaver and a friend to the local Native American groups.</b></i></div>

A woman sent me a bunch of information from a Swedish CD Archive system. It is a tangled mess of information (mix of English and Swedish, the latter being a language I know little to nothing about), but I am planning on cleaning it up a bit to make it more understandable. You can see this information (in it's original form) on the <b>Lindquist/Philip</b> page. I will be posting a new pedigree chart there soon.<br />
<br />
I am so excited!HeatherELGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243560898834062663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487441797165632015.post-17211275942004469372013-01-09T01:11:00.003-05:002013-06-07T23:37:04.306-04:00January UpdateI have done some updating. I removed the pedigrees from the top of the page and put new ones on the page that correlates with that surname/family. The site I originally used to create the pedigree is no longer available, but I was able to find another, with which I can put more names on, but with less information. Not quite as neat looking as the last, but it is serving its purpose and is free. I have one posted for the Berry/Richards page. I will create ones for the other 2 pages later on.<br />
<br />
I have been getting loads of information and family names from my at home research, and when I get to go to church, there are even more resources for the more difficult ones. I cannot view the many records that are available on the church's system, so it is always great to get there and find some new things.<br />
