Benjamin Higgins is cited in some sources as being born c1749, s/o Philip and Mary (Wiley) Higgins; however, stronger evidence supports the claim that Benjamin Higgins (b c1764, m1 Hannah Coombs and m2 Mercy Coombs), is the correct son for Philip and Mary (Wiley) Higgins. The following is a list of probable children (or close relatives) of Benjamin and Sarah (Matthews) Higgins:
1. William, b c1769/9, m Joanna Coombs 1790 Bath, ME

Kenneth Harrington McKeever Fri 19 Jan 2001 1:05 pm
I have been researching my Eastport, Washington, ME Harrington line for a number of years and have recently discovered a possible Sagadahoc Co, ME connection. My direct line in Eastport is as follows:
Andrew Harrington/Herrington I and Jane Frost Andrew Harrington II and Abigail Clark Andrew Harrington III and Phoebe Ann Herrington (aka Phoebe Keyes), b 1805 John Bent Harrington and Annie Augusta Capen Fred Alexander Harrington and Mollie Pope Cushing Ralph Alexander Harrington and Melitia Edna Silver Janet Ruth Harrington and Kenneth Francis McKeever me
VRs published in the Eastport Sentinel list the marriage of Andrew Herrington and Phoebe Ann Herrington; however, I have received information that she may be named Phoebe Ann Keyes. The children of Andrew and Phoebe were apparently named for members of the Jonas Temple Keyes family; i.e.,:
1. Israel Keyes Harrington (first son named for Jonas' father or brother)
2. Cornelia Bush Harrington (after Jonas' sister Cornelia Bush Keyes)
3. John Bent Harrington (after Jonas' son-in-law John Bent, who married Dolly Temple Keyes)
Thus, I have been researching the Keyes family records to verify that Phoee Ann was either a sister, dtr, or niece of Jonas Keyes. A FTM webpage lists a Nancy Clary (b 20 Feb 1783 Georgetown, Lincoln, ME; d aft 1870), m1 Joseph Herrington 8 Jun 1803 Georgetown, Lincoln, ME; m2 Jonas Keys 26 Mar 1812 Eastport, Washington, ME; m3 Thomas Harriman 15 May 1815 Nobleboro, Lincoln, ME. My theory now is that Phoebe Ann was the d/o Joseph and Nancy (Clary) Herrington and that Nancy was either widowed or divorced when she married Jonas T. Keyes. Nancy appears to have had one child with Jonas, Dolly Temple Keyes (b Eastport, ME). Nancy appears to have divorced Jonas, as his death date is 1831 in Eastport. I speculate that Jonas then raised Dolly (his natural dtr) and Phoebe (his step-dtr) and that may explain why the family refers to Phoebe Ann Herrington as Phoebe Ann Keyes.
I tried to email this question to Janet Heck, who is listed as researching Harringtons; however, it was returned as undeliverable. If anyone reading this list has a Joseph Herrington/Harrington in their records, b abt 1780 and married Nancy Clary of Georgetown, ME would respond, it would be greatly appreciated.

Abigail was the sister of Elizabeth Smith (1796-1871), who was m c1822 to Samuel Edgecombe (1799-1880) Woolwich, Sagadahoc, ME. The only information I have on this couple is a fragment of a letter dtd 20 Apr 1861 and signed, "Your affectionate aunt and uncle, Silas and Abigail Warren." A son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Smith) Edgecombe was named Silas Warren Edgecombe.

Marilyn Dale Sun 2 Apr 2000 11:21 am
I am searching for information on the family of Reuben (b c1770) and Betsy (Bridges) Higgins of Bath, ME. The 1800 census of Canaan (Back settlement of Ducktrap later named Lincolnville), ME identifies Reuben's place of origin as Bath; along with James Higgins, who is believed to be his brother and is also cited in other sources as "of Georgetown." Both Reuben and James later appear in "A Genealogical History of Morrill, Maine" as having settled in that area. It is believed that Philip Higgins of Eastham, Barnstable, MA, who settled in Bath, is the ancestor of most of the Higgins families in that area.
I am trying to bridge the gap between Philip and Reuben and have reason to believe that Philip's oldest son, Benjamin (b c1749 Eastham, Barnstable, MA; d 9 Oct 1823 Camden, Knox, ME) is the father of Reuben. Probate records show that Philip left his property in Bath to his second son (Reuben, b c1750 Eastham, Barnstable, MA, d 3 Sep 1829 Bath, Lincoln, ME, bur Higgins Cemetery at Foster's Point, West Bath, ME; m1 16 May 1776 Harpswell, Cumberland, ME to Marcy/Mercy Hopkings; m2 18 Nov 1821 Bath, Lincoln, ME to Susanna Philbrook) rather than to Benjamin (who m 27 Sep 1770 in Harpswell, Cumberland, ME to Sarah Mathews), who seems to have left Bath prior to Philip's death. I have searched in vain for anything that would provide the names of the children of Benjamin and Sarah (Sally) (?) Higgins. I would appreciate any information on this family.

I am looking for a James Chambers and his family who lived in Bath, ME c1890. His wife was Sarah and their children were: (1) George, (2) William, (3) Ella May (or Emma). There may also have been an Edward Chambers and family living in the same area. Both Edward and James were shipbuilders and would have been associated with that industry. They had moved to the Bath area from Dorchester, New Brunswick when the shipbuilding industry took a "nosedive" in the 1880s. Any help would be appreciated.

Francis Fortin Sat 25 Mar 2000 1:03 pm
I live in RI and would appreciate someone within the City of Bath who might be willing to do a couple of "lookups" for me. I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, George Joseph Fortin.
George Joseph Fortin, b 27 Apr 1859 Bath, s/o Jean Hector and Marie Rosalie (Chouinard) Fortin (both b Canada). I would like to obtain a copy of his birth certificate. An added benefit would be to identify other family members from the area.
George lived in or near Bath until he married (at age 36) his 3rd wife, Amanda Kirouac on 26 Aug 1895 at Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Lewiston, ME. I have not been able to confirm whether he married his first cousin, Helene (Lena) Fortin on 14 May 1881 at St. Francis de Sales Church, Waterville, ME. Helene was the d/o Jean and Louise (Cote) Fortin and had two unnamed sons (b 1892 and 1894) who most likely died (unconfirmed). I would like to identify his first two wives.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the above information? I am currently researching the surnames of Fortin, Kirouac, and Hamel in the Bath, Lewiston, and Brunswick areas of ME during the 1800s.

Dana Rowe Sun 13 Feb 2000 7:26 pm
I am a descendant of Stephen Mann (Dana Rowe, Irving, Arthur, Irving, Joseph E., Elisha, Leona Mann, Stephen) and Michael McMahon. Stephen Mann m Susannah McMahon (both of Eddington, ME), d/o Michael and Thankful (Horton) McMahon. Apparently both Michael and Thankful came from Georgetown, ME, according to an excerpt in the Bangor Historical Magazine (later known as the Maine Historical Magazine):
Michael McMahon was b 1741 Georgetown, ME, prob s/o Terrence McMahon (a soldier in the French and Revolutionary wars). Michael m 1763 Thankful Horton and is said to have settled at Eddington Bend (on the Penobscot River) in 1770. In the spring of 1771, he, Stephen Bussell, and David Rowell were running a boatload of fish over Gardner Falls (near Georgetown) when the boat swamped and McMahon and Rowell were drowned. Children were probably:
1. Nathaniel, b 17 Jun 1708, Dunnells Island, Kennebec River, ME, went to Eddington with his father and settled there, m 20 Mar 1800 widow Nacy Wild Clapp -- 5 ch
2. Hannah (unm.)
3. Susannah m Stephen Mann of Eddington -- 9 ch (see lineage below)
4. Joanna, b. 28 May 28 1773, m 14 Dec 1794 Samuel Turner of Brewer, ME; he d 5 Oct 1837 (age 82 yrs); she d 4 Oct 1850 (age 77 yrs) -- 6 ch
5. Elizabeth, m David Burton of Eddington; tragically, she and her only child both drowned crossing the ice at Reed's Ferry
Of all the children of Michael and Thankful, only Nathaniel had issue with the surname McMahon:
1. Nathaniel (of Eddington) m Hannah Spratt -- 6 or more ch
2. Samuel Wild (of Eddington) m pub 26 May 1833 Lydia Aldrich -- several ch
3. Thomas D (of Eddington) m Mary Spratt -- 5 or more ch
4. Asahel Wild, b 22 Mar 1810 (of Eddington) m1 4 Sep 1832 Lydia Rowell (of Greenbush); m2 1840 Elisabeth P. Aldrich -- 2 ch
5. Abigail m Lawsuon Woodbury of Eddington.
Does anyone have any information on the drowing of Michael McMahon or David Rowell or on the parents of Michael McMahon or Thankful Horton? I'm trying to establish a link from Michael back to the McMahon family of County Clare, Ireland, which would connect the McMahon family in ME with the O'Brien family (descended from the Irish king, Brian Boru).

I am interested in obtaining information regarding the Oliver family of Popham, Bath, Phippsburg, Georgetown area. I have taken over the task of tracing my family from my grandmother, who was very successful in tracing back into the early 1600s. I am particularly interested in any info on the David Olivers. There were several from the 1600s to 1800s. Please send me any info or put me in contact with another. I would be happy to pass along any information that I have as well.

I am looking for information about my g-g grand parents. I have found them in the 1880 census records living in Bath, ME on Elm Street on 3 Jun 1880. My g-g grandfather's name is Charles P. Harris age 44 b in ME; his wife's name is Sarah M. age 37 b in ME; their first daughter Julia G. (or possibly Julia F.) age 8 b in ME is my g grandmother. Their next son is Frank G. age 4; next son is Fred M. age 2; and next daughter is Viola age 1/12. I have not been able to locate any other information about the family prior to 1880. The census record shows that Charles is in bed or handicapped. Any assistance that you could provide to me such as where they were born what Sarah's maiden name might be and Charles father's name, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have a g-g grandfather, James Pratt, b abt 1800 in Bowdoinham. He moved to Philadelphia where he married and had one son, William A. in 1845. I have no clue as to James' family and would desperately like to receive some direction from someone on identifying such. He was a seaman and from his Seaman Protection Certificate he was 5 feet 5-1/4 inches tall with hazel eyes and dark brown hair; light complexion, a small scar on his forehead, a white mark on his left cheek, a scar on the back of his right hand, two scars on his right leg and a dimple in the chin. Surely, someone must recognize him!!
