I have Seavy lines from Scarboro and Saco.  Sarah Seavy (d 14Jan1851 at age 88)  married (31Jan1782) Solomon Libby (b 1759 -d. 3Mar1832) and he fought in the Revolutionary War.  They are buried in the Laurel Hill Cemetery in Saco I believe.  She was the daughter of Thomas Seavey of Scarborough.

i just looked at my seavey stuff have your people in in must be them Solomon Libby born August 05, 1759 died March 03, 1832 married January 31, 1782 Scarbrough Maine  Sarah Seavey born May 23, 1762 dau of Ebenezer Seavey born February 16, 1721/22 and Mary Stevens his father was Thomas Seavey  born April 21, 1695 Scarborough,, Maine, married Hannah Knight I come down from brother of Thomas /  Capt Stephen  Seavey born 1686 Rye  New Hampshire married Anne Fernald 

A sea Captian who bought Seavey's Island in Portsmouth Harbor, 1722 this is the site of the navey ship yard at Kittery Maine his wifes grandfather Thomas Fernald built ships here as early as 1645
had a house in Casno Nova Scotia, 1729
Some source says born aft 1695, of Seavey's Island, Kittery, NH. According to Parsons History of Rye, in 1682 the southern half of the Isles of Shoals was assigned to NH, including Seavey Island; although it appears unlikely that he would have been born on Seavey Island. Apparently the northern islands were part of Kittery, Maine as mentioned about 1700. Since there is apparently no document giving his birth on Seavey Island, I will adopt the current designations: of Rye, Rockingham, NH. they wer sons of Capt William Seavey  born 1648 Rye NH died January 31, 1731/32 Rye NH married Hannah Jackson  i have more info if your interested

Hi Norman, I'm not sure if you received my answer on chat, when you mentioned you had just seen my Uncles, Avery and Ernest Angevine from Bethel, Maine.  You mentioned that their mother (Gladys Lombard) was a cousin to your wife's great grandmother.  What is your wife's great grandmother's maiden name and married name?

Gladys Lombard's parents were Albert Lombard and Arabella (Belle) Whitney.

I just noticed that you are now a member of Upton Hist. Soc. and saw that you had the Whitney family listed also.

I also have Linnell, Dunham & Fish, Bangs, Hancock & Prescott, Jewell & Guptill, and Gammon names, etc. attached to the Lombards and Whitneys.

Would love to swap info, photos, etc. with you. on some of the families that we have in common.

It's always exciting to find another "cousin".

Thanks for contacting me,  Pauline
