No last names of women in records

I have come to the conclusion in doing genealogy in Maine, especially going into the old records (1600-early 1800s), that any reference to an Indian (Native American) being the wife of any white…Continue

Yep! it was common practice to hide them out of fear and Ignorance. I didn't know until I was 32 that I had Mi'kmaq and Maliseet Ancestry. My father told me before he died that it was the reason he left Maine at 17. I grew up in California…

I just got this from new member Emilie Green thought you might be interested. She is using the name Hannah as her member name for some reason.

Thank you so much for your response. I live in Sherman, Maine, way, way, way up in the northern part of Maine and don't have the vehicle for such a trip. So, if you could, or one of you could find out any information, I would be truly grateful.

There are several cemeteries on the Stoneybrook Road. One is very close to the road, another is further up at the crossing of Stoneybrook and Meadowbrook Road on the left as you turn the corner to the left,with another cemetery across from that.…

Where was Benjamin Green buried?

Are there any records for Negros or Indians in the Phippsburg area in the early 1800s that I can find any genealogy????? I'm wondering if Benjamin is a negro and his wife was an indian, how can I find any information. I have found however, a…

No, this seems to be a different Nancy Green, who lived in Phippsburg at the same time as Benjamin and Nancy. So the Nancy Green who died in 1894 is probably not the one who married Benjamin.
Diane Bender replied to Diane Bender's discussion 'Looking for the Genealogy of Benjamin Green, b. 1803 Phippsburg, ME'
So is this Nancy Cary (Carey) that everyone is talking about?????
Chris Dunham replied to Diane Bender's discussion 'Looking for the Genealogy of Benjamin Green, b. 1803 Phippsburg, ME'
OK, that explains the discrepancy. There was another Nancy Green who lived in Richmond in 1880. She was the wife of Edward Green, and lived in Phippsburg in 1860 and 1870.

For those who want to know what I have thus far:
Notes for Harriet Newell Green: Death record from Massachusetts: Volume 17, Page 474 - her residence was 28 Walker Street, age at death 74y 4 m 20 d. This record gives her birth date as 1/20/1845 in…

Sorry, when I said "you will have to rule out that Nancy," I meant that you will have to find more evidence to rule that out--not that you should rule it out based on the 1870 census info alone.
Since the 1870 census doesn't indicate…
Diane Bender replied to Diane Bender's discussion 'Looking for the Genealogy of Benjamin Green, b. 1803 Phippsburg, ME'
I don't understand. If your telling me that Benjamin Green was married to Nancy Carey (Cary), then why would I rule this 1870 census out? This indicates Nancy Green, widowed living with the Cary famly.
This is why I did rule out Nancy Carey…

There was flooding on the Androscoggin River in June 1917.

- Diane,
I sent you a friend request and meant to attach a personal message with it, but hit send too fast... :( My name is Brian Bouchard, and I am the President of the Pejepscot Genealogy Society, based in Brunswick, ME. We have a few members who are doing research in the Phippsburg area. If you're interested, I can try to put you in contact with one of them and see if they may be able to help you in your research in the area, being that you are not in the area.

At 12:10pm on March 28, 2010, Hannah said… My husband is a descendant of Henry Green, son of Stephen & Yvonne Serote . He has had his Y chromosome testing done and it shows that that his Y ancestry (L21) is linked to the British Isles , especially Wales, Scotland & Ireland. However, when he had his overall ancestry done, it shows a high linkage to the Tsongas tribe in Africa. this would not be surprising, given that Henry married Martha Black. In addition, we don't know anything about Stephen's parentage.He does plan to have some upgrading done later this year.I have often wondered if there was any relationship between Henry & Benjamin Green of Phippsburg.
