ADAMS: Does anyone know of a family of Adams that lived in that area in the 1700 or early 1800? I'm looking for information on a Capt. Benjamin Adams. He was know to have had four sons, James C.; Joshua; John Q.; and Benjamin Jr. They supposedly lived in Pittsfield. {I realize that this is NOT in Waldo County, however, I chose to include this query at the request of the submitter because of the extremely close proximity of Pittsfield to the Waldo County boundary - CC} Reply to: Joan 7 Apr 01

ADAMS FAMILY OF MONROE, MAINE: David Adams and his wife, Mary E. (West) Adams were living in Monroe at the time of the 1870 census with their children. David was 44, a native of Prince Edward Island., Canada, and Mary was 33, a native of Monroe. They are not found after 1870, although two of their children were in Monroe in 1880 living with other families (the youngest one was called "adopted son" of the family where he was living). I have traced the oldest son, but am trying to find out what became of the following brothers and sister who lived in Monroe, Maine, in the 1870s: 1) James P., born 1858; 2) Mary E., born 1860; 3) David W., born 1862; 4) John W., born 1866; and 5) Frank E., born 1869. Perhaps the parents died between 1870 and 1880. Does anyone have access to cemetery records for Monroe? Or privately-kept records, or church records? Reply to: George F.

(Perry) Bean of Searsmont or Appleton left their four year old daughter, Orinda, with her maternal grandparents Mark and Esther (Burgess) Perry and headed West.

I then followed the Line all the way to Theresa Josephene Gray, born 29 Aug 1907, Brooklin, Me. But there is never a mention of a Solomon Jr. and I have found some bits about him. This is what I have:
Solomon Bolton Jr.; b. 1778 in Brooks, Hancock Co., ME. He had 11 children - 4 were girls. He was a Selectman, Surveyor of Lumber and Farmer.

1800 Census Solomon Bolton Hancock Co.
1820 Census Solomon Bolton Hancock Co., Frankfort, North Div.
1840 Census Solomon Bolton Penobscot Co., age 82 Orrington
1830 Census Solomon Bolton Jr. Waldo Co., Monroe
1840 Census Solomon Bolton Waldo Co., Brooks
1850 Census Solomon Bolton Waldo Co., Brooks
Notice that there are 2 for 1840 and that one is for Jr.
I also found a note stating that Solomon was the 1st of Brooksville and ancestor of all Boltons to reside there. But I wrote to Brooksville and they started with Benjamin, not Solomon.
Brooks, Monroe, and Jackson were all one to start, then divided, Solomon Jr. was first in Monroe, then Brooks. Maybe without even moving. Who knows? Fire has destroyed a lot of their records so things have to be pieced together. I am trying to find the parents of a Rebecca Bolton, born ca 1805, Jackson? married Sewell Cates, 1828, had 2 sons while living in Jackson. They were Solomon Bolton Cates born 1828 and John Bolton Cates, born 1830. The family then moved to Houlton, Aroostook, Me. and in 1832, had Martha M. born in New Brunswick. 1850 Census has them in Houlton, but no Sewell. Sewell and Rebecca were my great great grandparents. I do not know either one's parents. I would appreciate any help that I can receive in this matter.

I have traced as far back as my great-great-grandfather, Tolman Bowen, who is listed in the Waldo County Town of Morrill censuses for 1850, 1860, and 1870. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding out who Tolman Bowen's parents were, and would like to be able to trace the family line even farther back. I have already traced Tolman's wife, Charlotte (Woodman) Bowen's family back several more generations, but have reached a "dead-end" with Tolman Bowen on that side of my family. I have a copy of a newspaper article describing Tolman Bowen's 80th birthday celebration in Morrill. According to my calculations, that should have been in about 1894, and Tolman Bowen was born about 1814. I am willing to share any information on the Bowen family that I have garnered.

BOWDEN / MARSTEN: Looking for information on Abraham Bowden who came from Penobscot and Mary Marsten from Prospect. They were married in Prospect. The archives show the marriage date as 7 May 1810. I believe it to be 1801 since their first born was in 1802. Abraham appeared in the census of Prospect in 1810 but I have no information after that. Also no information on the Marsten family in Prospect during that time period. Reply to: Richard Bowden 19 Aug 02

BOWDEN: I am still working on the Abraham Bowden and Mary Marston that showed up a number of times with intentions beginning in 1801 but I do not know if they were ever actually married or not. I found an entry in the Prospect history that they were married in 1810 but Bob Brooks says it is incorrect. That it's intentions only. If that is the case, intentions have been published 3 times and no marriages. Since they started having children in 1802 it seems that a marriage would have taken place. The theory begins to appear that there were more than one Abraham Booden and Mary Marston. In every case it was shown that Abraham was from Penobscot and Mary was from Prospect. I found Abraham Booden in the 1810 census of Prospect but nothing after that and I do not have information on how many males, females etc. were in the household at that time. Also, I have learned that an Abraham Booden was lost at sea aboard the Brig Phebe of St. Lucia in 1818. If he was the same Abraham that appeared in the Prospect 1810 census this would explain why he would not appear in the 1820 census. If anyone has any additional information on anything that would be helpful in nailing down these Abrahams etc. it would really be appreciated. Reply to: Richard Bowden 18 Oct 02

BURNHAM: I am looking for ANY information on one Eliza Burnham. There is no evidence that she is from Waldo County, but I have a sampler dated 1804 which was done by her and I am trying to find out her genealogy, history or background. It is my understanding that these samplers were common among "proper" families, with modest efforts performed by girls in their younger years, and more substantial efforts - like ours - done in their mid/late teens. That places our "Eliza" born somewhere between 1787 - 1792, most likely. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Reply to: Eric 23 Sep 05

BYARD: I read this excellent history http://home.comcast.net/~downeastgenealogy/History/EarliestRecords.htm about the beginnings of all the little townships and villages in Eastern Maine after the French and Indian Wars ended.
The men of Salem and Boston who took pride in their un-calloused hands stayed put while the other men...our Grandfathers...the Wild Bunch with calluses...came East with adventure in their eyes.
Most of you know where your Grandparents had come from when they first arrived in Eastern Maine and you might know where they lived at the time they petitioned for land but I have no idea about my One and Only Mystery Grandfather, Robert Byard. He had no background....no parents....no siblings....and yet was one of the first three men to arrive (in 1762/63) and then stay...until death...in the Sedgwick area, called Plantation #4 at that time. Robert's piece of land, Byard Point, is still found on today's Maine maps. I just don't know where he'd been before the grants were given which brings me to my request for a look-up in the Bangor Historical Magazine.
In the website above, Newell Hall, the author, wrote that the "Grant That Ultimately Became Six Townships of the First Class (west of Union River) Plans were to be presented to the General Court for its acceptance, on or before 31 Jul 1763. The 359 grantees are named in the grant and reproduced in BHM pg 1620-23."
If someone has these volumes or volume which includes those three pages...1620-23...I would be so grateful if you'd look to see if my Grandfather's name is there.
Robert Byard...or phonetically spelled it could be Byeard...or Biard...or possible Bayard. He MAY have had a brother who came with him...possibly named James...or any given name, actually. If Robert was one of the petitioners, I'll have a new and wider horizon to search for his beginnings and he'll no longer be quite the Mystery Man he is now. Reply to: Jan (Byard) Saremi 29 Jan 05

BYARD: I'm a descendant of the Byards who lived in Sedgwick/Sargentville, Hancock County, ME beginning with Robert Byard and his wife, Abigail (Glover). I recently discovered in the new Sedgwick Vital Records book, page 42, that Polly Billings, d/o Abel and Elizabeth (Farrar) Billings, gave birth to a baby boy in Sedgwick on January 19, 1810. No father was named on the birth certificate but she named her son Sylvanus Byard. Polly was about 15 then and this birth may not have been a happy event for her.
It seems Sylvanus lived in Sedgwick until his marriage to Belinda Colson, d/o Deacon Henry Colson and his wife Deborah Bowden. Sylvanus and Belinda lived in Frankfort, Waldo County, where their eight children were born, and they are buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Winterport.
I'm curious about Sylvanus' life and would love to hear from his descendants. I'm especially interested in finding out who his "real" father would have been...which Byard boy from Sedgwick? Any information would be helpful. Reply to: Jan (Byard) Saremi 21 Jun 05

CLARK: I wonder if someone could please point me in the right direction. I have recently been researching my grandfather's family and I always believed that he was born in St. George, Maine. I recently purchased the Vital Records of St. George and I found that on the record for my Aunt Susie who was born in St. George, Maine on 14 Jan 1870 it states that her father, John Murphy Clark was born in Searsport, Maine. John Murphy Clark was born on 19 Feb 1835 and he was the youngest child of William W. & Hannah Cook Clark. Three years after John's birth, his father William died in 1838 and the younger three girls in the family ended up in Searsport as the mother remarried. The girls that ended up in Searsport were Mary Ann Clark who married James Hall in Searsmont. Hannah Clark who married Warren Perry in Searsmont and Catherine Clark who married Orrin Wellman in Appleton. I believe this family from St. George has some connection with a family in Searsport or Searsmont.

COFFIN: I have been searching for information regarding one Ezra Allen Coffin, born in Palermo, ME, August 10, 1881; parents Albion and Mary Coffin. I know he married my step-mother-in-law's mother but I have not been able to find any records of this; I do have a WWI draft registration record that shows her as his wife and living in Bath (where two of the four children they had were born). I have census records that show him and his birth family in Palermo, I have also found a marriage record that appears to have been earlier than my connection with this individual. The earlier marriage to a Charlotte M. Tobey on February 13, 1908 predates his first child with Dora (Dupont) Maynard by 9 years, but I have found no death records for Charlotte Tobey Coffin. I also have found no record of his marriage to Dora. He apparently had four children with Dora, they moved to MA, divorced and she went on to marry several other men.
This guy seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet! I can't find any death records for him in either ME or MA (where he may have died, according to his daughter). Does anyone have any research suggestions? Reply to: Christine Conlon 14 Apr 06

COLE: Looking for information on a Captain Cole of Maciaus, Maine. He was aboard the coastal schooner HENRY SUTTON in October of 1906. The HENRY SUTTON was lost at sea after leaving the port of Cheverie, Nova Scotia bound for Baltimore, Maryland with a load of plaster. Newspaper reports in January of 1907 said he had duplicate papers of the voyage and crew lists at his home. If any one knows of the Captain or his descendents please on contact me. My great grandfather, Julius C Sturgis was listed as the master of the HENRY SUTTON when she entered the port of Calais Maine on October 18th 1906. Any information would help.

COLE: I am looking for information on an Edward Cole who lived in Frankfort before 1803. He may have died by 1790 and pos. had a wife Phoebe. It has come to my attention from a deed, and another source also called this to my attention, that Abner Colson and wife Phoebe, John Carleton and wife Huldah Cole, and John Pickard, Jr. and wife Eunice all sold a piece of land together that had previously belonged to an Edward Cole. If I were to assume that these families had inherited this piece of property then I would come to the conclusion that they were somehow related to Edward. As I have no last name for Eunice and my Phoebe, I am thinking that perhaps they were Coles and were sisters to Huldah (Huldah was 67 in the 1850 census so Edward would have been born at least before 1765) and this was their parent. In the 1790 census there was a Phoebe Cole as head of household and her children. I wonder if this was his wife and my Phoebe was named after her. If not, perhaps my Susanna, married to James Colson, parent to Abner, was related and Eunice was either a Cole or a Colson. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Even finding Huldah or Eunice's parents would be a help. Reply to: Sheila 13 Nov 01

COOK / MCLEAN: Am trying to find the parents of Mary (McLean) Cook who married Eli Cook in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada in 1831. Also info and line of Eli.
Would like to correspond with anyone who is related to Eli (my ggg grandfather) or knows where he is buried. His parents were Jacob (Jack, or John) Cook and Molly Hathorn, married in Orrington, ME Aug 1791. Their parents I'm not sure of.
From newspaper write-ups I have quite a lot of info on ELI. He was born May 12, 1804 in Dixmont and died Feb 7, 1907. He had five wives and 7 children. Was a blacksmith and lived in Dixmont and Frankfort and Belfast, and for a short time was in New Brunswick where he met his 2nd wife Mary McLean. They came back to Dixmont after 4 years. I'd like to learn the name of his first wife and 3rd and 4th and where they are buried. His 5th wife was Susan Hanson Hughs. He died in Belfast at the home of his son Alphonso H. Cook. He had a blackthorn cane and said he had proof it came on the Mayflower so suppose his line might go back to a Cook on the Mayflower. Does anyone know about the cane now? He was also a veteran of the Aroostook War.
Will return postage on any replies. Thank you. Reply to: Elvera Pardi 30 Jan 05

COOK: I'm looking for parents & siblings of my 2nd great-grand grandmother, Mary Cook (b.1863 - d.1936). She married Orlando Reynolds on July 6, 1892 in Burnham, Maine. They had children: Grace Marion, Bertha M., Elisha M., Lester O., Kate, Minnie, and Gertrude Reynolds. The story goes that one of my grandmothers was 1/2 indian...could this be her? Wonder if she was married to another Reynolds. Grace was 13 when they married. Others born after. Also, looking for any info on the death of George H. Cook, son of Rev. John Cook of Burnham, Maine. Cemetary records show that he was "Killed by the Carrs." I found the following in the Cook Forum: "I have been looking at the Gowen family and learned of a marriage that links a desendent to the Carr/Kerr name. They lived in Waldo Co., Burnham, Maine and were involved in a killing of a man. The victim was George H. Cook son of Rev. John & Mary Cook. It looks like after he was killed the Carr/Kerr family went to Massac Co. IL., and S. Bartlett Kerr married Eveline E. Gowen. The old story is of a old time feud." - David E. Gordan.

CUNNINGHAM: Annie E. Cunningham (1852-1948) married Clarence Harding abt 1869/1870.
Either Clarence died, or the marriage apparently did not survive.

Daughter Jennie Mae Harding married William Henry Morrisette. When? And, what happened to them? Annie lived with them in 1910, 1920, 1930 in Waltham, Massachusetts. Son Fred may have married Lizzie Wheeler in 1895 and they may have had a son in a 1900 Census. This may also be the wrong Fred Harding. If it's right, this marriage did not survive either. Fred is with his mother and sister in Waltham in 1910 Census.
