MARDEN: I was recently given a photograph of a man who I hope is my 2nd great-grandfather Godfrey Overlock. It is my guess that the picture was taken in the 1850s. On the back it says "E. B. MARDEN, Photographer, Stockton, ME." The photo is 2 1/2 x 4 inches in size and it is on cardboard. Does anyone know anything about this photographer? I cannot find E. B. Marden in the census in 1840 (maybe he was not head of household) or 1850. Reply to: Isabelle Hallam 14 Jan 05

MARDEN: (update) I am looking for the family of Horace Marden b. Jan 1832, who left Swanville, Waldo Co. Maine to go to California Gold rush by boat via Nicaragua then San Francisco, arriving in 1853. His father is said to be James Marden and his mother Mary Clemens. Also, I have discovered a James Marden in Stockton with several children who have the same name patterns as Horace's children. Could this be a connection? Any siblings? I see on a topographical map a place called Marden Hill just north of Swanville, does this have any connection to this family? I have quite a bit on them in California and Nevada and will be glad to share. Reply to: Peggy Lee 14 Apr 05

My Charles Royal Marshall was born Jan 17 ,1827 but not found on census later . However he was a mariner and signed up in Providence, Rhode Island for a American Seaman's Protection Certificate in December 22, 1849. (proven by NARA Archives). Haven't found marriage certificate in Detroit, Michigan abt 1875? Suppose to have had relatives in Boston, Mass? Any index for the 2 cemeteries that are listed on this list? Just a looking for connection to any Marshalls listed in History of Islesborough Maine. Reply to: Sharon Moore 19 July 2000

MARTIN: Joseph Plumb Martin, the Revolutionary Soldier, is described in multiple sources as an "artist, poet," and even a hymn writer. In 1962 the historian George Scheer, who edited the modern edition of Martin's memoir, said he had seen examples of Martin's art work and manuscript hymns when he visited Prospect. Does anyone know if these documents still survive, either in the hands of the Prospect Church, a historical society, or descendants of Martin? Reply to: Philip Mead 16 Apr 02

MARTIN: I am trying to locate the grave of Revolutionary War veteran Joseph Plumb (or Plum) Martin. I believe it's in the Sandy Point Cemetary, Stockton Springs/Sandy Point, Maine. Where are those towns located and within the graveyard is the site of Mr. Martin? Reply to: Mark Persky 24 July 01

MASON: Looking for information on Louisa Mason, who married David Dow, son of Jonathan Dow and Polly "Mary" Black. Although I don't know what county Louisa and David were from, I believe her to be the daughter of John Mason and Jemima Nickerson of Prospect. If this is the correct Louisa, she would have been born in 1810 and died in 1883. Louisa and David had 10 children. Does anyone know if John Mason and Jemima Nickerson had a daughter named Louisa who married David Dow? Reply to: Jessica 14 Sep 01

MATTHEWS: Can anyone provide any information (or even speculation) about the parents and origins of Daniel Matthews of Searsmont, Maine? He appears on the census in Hancock County in 1800, 1810 and 1820. In assorted databases online he is claimed to have married Mercy Prescott on 23 February 1796, and to have had at least four children: sons Morrill, Bickford and Noah, and daughter Lois. Unsourced references say that he was born in Durham, NH in 1766 and died in Searsmont in 1826. There's no Matthews that I can find on the 1790 census in Hancock Co., except for an Abigail Matthews - perhaps his mother? Reply to: Nicola 5 Jul 04

McDONALD: I am descended from Mathew and Betsy McDonald, through their son, Andrew Richard McDonald. I have a great deal on his descendants but have tried to limit this to his immediate family.
I am too far from Maine to do local research and would very much appreciate any information anyone there could share about the McDonalds' ancestry.
Although Mathew McDonald was born in Maine, he first shows up (online) in the 1830 census:

1830 Census, Monroe, Waldo County, Maine, p. 381 (I suspect, comparing Mathew and Betsy's ages and census info, that he was married twice, and this 1830 census reflects the first marriage; the oldest child on the 1860 census, Maria, would not have been born on this census, and wife Betsy would have been 26)
McDonald, Mathew, Males: 0010001000 - one male 10-15, one male 40-50
Females: 03200010, three females 5-10, 2 females 10-15, one female 40-50

He doesn't show up in 1840 or 1850, but I suspect the online census indexes are incomplete.

1860 July 12 Census, Winterport, Waldo County, Maine, p. 54, Series: M653 Roll: 453 Page: 932
line 7, HH. 380, Fam. 394
Mathew Mcdonald, 72 1787 Maine, farmer
Betsy Mcdonald, 56 1803 Massachusetts
Maria Mcdonald, 21 1838 M E
Harriet Mcdonald, 20 1839 Maine
Andrew Mcdonald, 18 1841 Maine
Loren Mcdonald, 15 1844 Maine
Sarah L. Rich, 30, domestic
Julia A. Rich, 28, domestic

Information on Andrew Richard McDonald:

1841 Sept. 6 Andrew McDonald was born in Monroe, Waldo County, Maine to Mathew and Betsey McDonald.

Military Information
From Andrew's Civil War pension application:
1862 July 23 Enlisted in Union Army, Maine Inf., Co. B, 19th Reg't. Army says he was enrolled at Winter Port, Maine
1865 May 31 Hon. Discharged from Army, Washington, D.C.

McGLATHERY: Samuel McGlathery, in 1793, a sea captain from Ireland, set up a ship building yard on the coast of Maine. He set up the ship building yard to be with his family more time as he was on the high seas and away from home before he started building ships. I have a large black iron tray that was used to carry the bread along the long tables in the log "chuck" house where the workers ate. I think he married Nancy ? McGlathery. He was a 4 generations back grandfather to me. I am trying to get information of his birth date, and parents and children etc. for a family history. Can anyone help me or advise me how to get a family tree of my McGlathery family who lived in Maine from sometime prior to 1750 to the name Elizabeth McGlathery who married Abel Davis in 1823. Reply to: Ruth Vaughan Adams 6 Oct 04

McKEAN: I am looking for info. on my paternal Great grandparents, Nathaniel Patterson McKean and Mary McGlothin. He was born in Belfast, Waldo Co., Maine in 1802. Nathaniel's parents were: Capt. Abner Graham McKeen and Sarah (Sally) Patterson . Sally, born 1779, died in Belfast, 1813. Abner, born in 1774, place unknown, died in 1820, place unknown. Abner's father was Samuel McKeen, Jr. , and his mother was Janet (Jane) Graham. What I am most concerned with is Nathaniel Patterson's family , especially his daughter, Mary Catherine McKean, who married Thomas Andrew Pettijohn ( sometimes Pettyjohn or Pettajohn). I would like to determine where she died and is buried. She was born in Iowa , abt. 1852. Reply to: ekgs@ev1.net 28 Feb 02

McKEEN: Would be grateful for any information about my g-grandmother, Mary Elizabeth McKeen, born 1861-1865, (Belfast?), Waldo Co, ME, daughter of Charles McKeen and Eliza Sanborn. The family migrated--apparently during the years after her birth (but could have been earlier)--to Edgar Co, IL. There she married my g-grandfather, Jedidiah (George??) Burnham, direct descendant of Thomas Burnham, one of three brothers who founded the prominent New England Burnham family after their uncle's ship, The Angel Gabriel, was shipwrecked off Pemaquid Point, ME, during the great hurricane of 1635. According to the tradition I've heard, Mary Elizabeth McKeen came from Scotland with her family--including 3-4 brawny brothers. (Think we have a photo of them.) But entry in 1880 Illinois Census gives birthplace of her parents--and her own, as I recall--as Maine.) So the family must have come from Scotland--or possibly No Ireland--at an earlier date. I find signs of McKeens in Belfast (or at least Waldo) during the earlier part of 1800s, if not earlier. And I'm told "the Sanborns" were an "old Yankee" family. Would appreciate any info on either family that might lead me to something--as well as data on my specific forebears. Reply to: Brian 16 Apr 02

MERITHEW: Jeremiah Merithew I am trying to discover the birth and death dates of Captain Jeremiah Merithew of Searsport, builder of the house that is now part of the Penobscot Marine Museum. I think he may have been born in 1792, but am not sure. My reason for asking is that I knew one of his descendents/relatives, who was a fourth grade teacher here in Thomaston, Connecticut. After retirement she returned to her home town of Searsport, and passed away some time in the last few years. Later this month I will be traveling to Maine with a friend who was one of her students, and who wants to visit her grave to pay her respects. In researching Searsport, we discovered that Miss Merithew comes from a rich heritage of seafarers, one of whom was Capt. Merithew. I would like to learn more about him before visiting the town whose history he and his family so enriched. Thanks again. Any information would be much appreciated.

Vey Merrill had a cottage "Wa Wa Wigwam" on Lake St George in the 1940s.Their cottage was on Lake St. George, somewhere near Sennett Camp and Iky Quizz's Lumber Mill.

MOODY: Any information at all on the life of Amos Moody. Contrary to popular belief he is not of the Newbury, Mass. Moody clan. His line gets switched at this point to a Joshua Moody which is convenient but not proved. He supposedly lived for 100 years in and around Waldo county. All researchers I know have him as born August 12, 1747 and dying 30 January 1847 in Nobleboro. He married Elizabeth Chamberlain, in 1798 in Liberty. Other than the marriage record, his birth or death has not been proved by anyone with hard proof and there are lot's of people out here pursuing what I think is a wrong line. I think Amos's are derived from a Clement Moody from New Hampshire whose family members migrated to Maine independent of the Newbury Moody's. Reply to: Pete Martin 4 Dec 06

MOODY: Searching for the parents and ancestry of Chandler Moody, Born: about 1783, probably in New Hampshire, married Susanna Field in Prospect, Maine on May 26, 1808. Probably died 1821 in Newport, Maine leaving five young sons: Edward, b. born 9 Apr 1809; Jacob Ames, b.22 June1810; James Sanborne, b.6 Apr1816; Robert, b.1812, and Benjamin, born, 7 Aug 1821. Chandler had brothers, Robert b. abt 1776, and David, b. abt 1780. Edward and Robert settled in Somerset County. The others in Weston, Maine. Father may have been David Moody. Reply to: Rose Moody Cohoon 17 Oct 99

MOODY: am looking for the parents of David Moody and his wife, Ann Maria Pine Deering Jenkins. David was born about 1805 in Maine and his wife, Ann Maria Pine Deering Jenkins was born about 1810 in Maine. They were married about 1830 or so. They and their children are found in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Censuses in Monroe Town, Waldo County, Maine. The censuses are appended below.
I suspect the middle names of Pine and Deering are family names of Ann's parents or grandparents. There are many Moody, Pine, Deering and Jenkins families in Maine in the early 1800's and late 1700's.

MOORE: I am researching three generations who lived in Winterport, Maine from at the latest 1818 through at least 1867. Frank Augustus Moore was born 25 May 1867 in Winterport. He married Catherine Agnes Slattery (from England), although it is unclear where or when. His father, Henry Moore, was born 14 Mar 1818 also in Winterport (He was married in Boston in 1865 to Arvilla Goff from Wellington, Maine, but must have moved back before the birth of his son). The identity of Henry's father is unknown. There is a William Moore on the 1790 and 1800 Census from Frankfort. Any help would be appreciated. Reply to: Bill Moore 07 July 04

MORLEY: Looking for a death record of my 4x great grandfather, Philip Morey (also spelled Mowry). He died sometime between 1850 and 1860 in Northport. He was married to a "Jane". They show up in the 1850 census; Philip was 86 years old in 1850. The 1860 census only shows Jane (still in Northport). Given Philip was 86 in 1850, he probably died in the earlier part of the 1850's. I would like to know who were listed as his parents (Philip was born in Ireland about 1763).

MORRIS: I am researching my husband's g.grandfather, Wm.E.Morris or William Ephraim Morris whom I have been told is listed in the 1860 census for Belfast, Waldo Co., Maine . I am also trying to establish his birth date which is anywhere from 1854 to 1864. He was supposedly born in Worcester Co., Massachuetts in 1861. Can anyone find a Wm. E. Morris in the 1860 census & what does it say about his family.
The reason that I am having so much trouble, I think, is that there are at least 4 Wm.E. Morris' & I think the one listed in Belfast(?) is the father of the one I am researching right now. The father was married to L. Tibbetts. They were actually from the Boston, Mass. area (I think). My husband's great grandfather is Wm. E. Morris & was with Custer at Little Big Horn. I have a copy of his obit. & photo of the headstone in New York & his death of 11-26-1933. He was married to Sarah Angela Kench of Brooksville, Hancock County, Maine, she being the daughter of John T. Kench & Abigail Cousins. Sarah was born Oct. 22, 1857. Sarah & William were married in Manhattan, N.Y. in 1879. I am trying to establish the correct birth date for this William & for his parents......also Wm.E.Morris (1831 ?) & mother, Lavina (Lavinia) Tibbetts (Tibbitts) (Tarbox-first marriage). My husband's GRANDFATHER(also Wm.E.Morris-dob 1880)was married to Edith M. Combes(1889).Reply to: Barbara Morris 30 Jan 05

MORSE: I am researching my husband's surname. His grandfather, George Everett Morse was born in 1915, and was raised by his grandfather, George Washington Morse in Belfast, Brooks or surrounding area. Reply to: Michelle Morse 24 May 02

MORSE: Fact: John P. (or O.) Morse married Abby Y(oung) Cottrell (rill) on 23 Oct 1847 in Belfast, Waldo, Maine. They had Frances b./d. in 1850 and John B. b./d. in 1851. This is pretty well verified in Belfast books/records and they are all buried under one stone in the Grove Cemetery in Belfast. They then had Fannie A. (or Abbie F.) b. on 11 Feb1854 in Belfast. (pretty sure on that).
I thought I had followed him to Chelsea, Mass where he died in 1882 but now I see (from History of Belfast book) that this John P. Morse's widow "Bertha" then died in Chelsea in 1897. This may be a second wife as I can't verify Abbie's death. Did they leave Belfast? Why doesn't Belfast have Fannie's birth in their town records? (I have copies of pages from books sent to me by Belfast).
I can't find appropriate names on 1850 or 1860 census for this John Morse. 1850 Belfast Census has John Morse with wife Sarah and 4 or 6/12 month old Frances, this census was taken August 5, 1850. Can anyone give me suggestions on where to go next or what to do? Reply to: Janet 4 Dec 02

MORSE: I am seeking any information on a John P. Morse married to Abbie Y. Cottrell in Belfast 1847. I am pretty sure he was born in Belfast or at least spent early childhood there. His parents may have come from NH. Reply to: Janet Buchanan 16 Jul 02

MORSE/ WEBB: New to this list and from Melbourne Australia. My enquiry relates to Martha Ellen Morse who married Henry Webb at Montville in August 1858. The couple moved to Rockland where Henry died in August 1863. They might have had two children, Clara Ellen and William Riley however Martha later married William J. Brown and had more children. It seems Martha died in Belfast in 1906. I'm attempting to establish the names of Martha's parents, her father might have been Adam, her mother I don't know, also confirmation of the names of her children with Henry Webb and later with William J Brown - and any other information that might be available relating to this family. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Reply to: James Twycross 25 Mar 07

MORTON / GILKEY: I read on the internet that the marriage date for Thomas Morton and Sylvina Gilkey was November 29, 1792 in Maine (probably Hancock County). My Rebecca Morton was born about June 20, 1800 in Maine.
The daughter, Rebecca Morton married George Washington Parks in Northport on Feb 13, 1815. I was wondering if there are any publications out there that would list the Morton families in Northport at that time. I believe that several may have migrated to Ohio.
One more question. In many of my sources, Northport appears to be in Hancock County; however, today it seems to be in Waldo County. Did the borders change? If so, would I need to post this on the Hancock County board? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Reply to: Krystal Kelley 4 Dec 06

MUDGETT: To the best of my knowledge, my great grandfather, Wilson Mudgett, fought in the Civil War as a member of Co. G, 17th Maine Infantry, enlisting on February 21, 1865 as a substitute for a William F. Longfellow. The enlistment took place in Belfast, Maine. He mustered out on May 13, 1865 in Portland. According to his enlistment papers, he was born in Maine.
I've found additional records for Andrew W. Mudgett, J. Wilson Mudgett and William Mudgett, who may be relatives, but I have no proof.
So far, I haven't been able to find much additional information about him, or his family, either before his enlistment or after his discharge. The only thing I know is that he was probably in Minneapolis on October 21, 1884 (the year my grandmother was born). Sixteen years later, my grandmother shows up in Fargo, ND, with my great grandmother listed as a widow. Can anyone share additional information on Wilson Mudgett, i.e. parents, siblings and/or children? Mark Stephens 28 Feb 06

MURCH: I am trying to find the descendants of granite cutters, stone workers and quarry workers from Maine. Also looking for descendants of Thompson Henry Murch, born 1838 in Hampden ME

I am doing a project for some of the historical societies in New England on the Honorable Mr. T. H. Murch and his union. I have a group called NEW ENGLAND QUARRY PRESERVATION SOCIETY.

Thompson was a U.S. House of Representative from Maine from 1879-1883,and the founder of the Granite Cutters International Union, president and secretary and editor of its journal and a remarkable man. The G.C.I.U. had its origins in Clark Island and then its first official international meeting in Rockland on March 10th 1877. The union was a very strong and outstanding union of its time.

I am doing a remembrance and celebration of Murch's life and of the G.C.I.U. on March 10th in Rockland Maine and would like to find any descendants of the granite workers,whom might like to attend in honor of their ancestors. I am taking my project on tour to other museums during the Spring and Summer of 2008, throughout New England.

Everyone is invited to attend the celebration of life of the Granite Workers of Maine and the Honorable Mr. Murch in Rockland. I will have more information as time goes on. I am hoping to be able to use the Rockland library's conference hall and to meet after at Main and Park st, where the Lynn hotel used to be. I believe there is a restaurant there now.

Thank you for any help in this matter, and look forward to seeing you there. Reply to: Dorothea McKenzie. Tele: 207-727-6354 29 Dec 06

MURPHY: Pursuant to information provided by the Maine Historical society, a William Murphy registered in the 1830 census as a resident of Hope in Waldo County. A son, also named William, is also named (in a household of eight people). The younger William might be my great-great grandfather who went to New Zealand on the Nantucket whale ship "Mary Mitchell" in 1835, before coming to Australia where he was a pioneer in the State of Victoria. On one of his children's birth certificates, he gave his birth place as Maine, USA and his father's name as William. He was born in 1816-17.
Is there any way of finding out more about this Murphy household, from Hope or Waldo County documents? It is a matter of great interest to two or three of us working on this, our 'William Project'.
I hope you might be able to suggest avenues for further research and thank you in anticipation of your reply. Reply to: Jeffrey J. Murphy 2 Jan 08

PARK: I've just discovered that I'm almost definitely related to the Park family of Searsport, Maine. Specifically, my Gr. Gr. Grandmother was Irene Park, born 23 Oct 1831 in Ohio. In the 1850 census, she's listed in the 1850 census (Searsport) with Oliver C. Park & his wife, Catherine E. & their children, Louisa E. & Oliver W., along with Richard J. Morithow? (Perhaps Merrithew) & his wife Harriet.
Oliver & Mr. Morithow are listed as sailors. Oliver was born about 1828 in Maine, Richard was born about 1820 in Maine.
I'm trying to figure out if Irene's father is Benjamin Park, or if he's someone else in that area. (Oliver C. is too young to be her father.) There sure look like there were a lot of Park families in Searsport that lived close to each other... Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They had a son, Charles Henry Patterson, who migrated to CA in the 1860's. I know nothing about either the Patterson or Shibles families. I would like to know who their parents were, what Charles Patterson's occupation was, approximately when the family lines appeared in Thorndike and Knox, etc. Thanks for all the help you can offer.

PATTERSON: Looking for the ancestors of Martin Francis Patterson, born Jan. 6, 1830 in Belfast, Maine. He married Ellen Lancaster, daughter of Valentine Lancaster and Jane Townsend. He is listed in the 1850 Belfast census with Geo W. Patterson in the household of James G. Sumner. Reply to: Judith Coy 18 Oct 02

PATTERSON: I am still seeking Mary Patterson's family. The birth date I have for Mary is Nov.25, 1783. I'm not certain of this as I have seen a 1784 date also. Mary Patterson married Thomas Russell of Mason, New Hampshire on March 6, 1808. The couple soon relocated to Mason. Their children were: Nelson 1809, David 1811, Emily 1813, George 1818, and finally Thomas Barzillai, born 1826. I am thinking that this unusual middle name of Thomas' is possibly a Patterson family name. It certainly didn't come from the Russells. I don't have a clue which of the 5 or so Patterson families living in Belfast in 1790 was Mary's. Reply to: Judith Patterson 18 May 03

PENDLETON: I was on the Waldo County, Maine website and noticed that the family name Pendleton was one of the seagoing families recorded in the book "Searsport Sea Captains" and that several generations of this family had been traced in this book. There was a picture of a Capt. Phineas Pendleton I, b. Sept. 26, 1780, Stonington, Connecticut, d. Feb. 27, 1873, Searsport, Maine; Photograph from Searsport Sea Captains, p181.
That Pendleton family is an allied family of mine that I am researching.
I am interested in a Caleb Tweksbury Pendleton. The only help I can offer is the marriage notice from NB newspapers listed below:
Vital Statistics From New Brunswick (Canada) Newspapers, Vol. 55, Entry #1700:
“m. Smith’s Cove, N. S. ., 21st inst., by Rev. W. M. . Godfrey, at the house of Jabez Snow, Tewksberry Pendleton, Deer Island (Charlotte Co.) N.B. / Miss Eugenie GILLIS, [1] Smith’s Cove.* 27 September 1881 D.T.; 27 September 1881 D.N.; 6 October 1881 COURIER.”
By the way he m. a Eugenia Snow, NOT Gillis.
C. T. Pendleton died in NS on March 18 1903, aged 77 > born ca 1825.
A lady on the Charlotte County, NB website informed me that the Pendletons of Charlotte County were related to the Pendletons of Islesboro, Maine. I was hoping maybe my C. T.
