I am descended from Mercy [Marcey] Winslow b. 1775 and Jeremiah Clough m. 14 Apr 1791. I believe Mercy is the daughter of Elijah and Eliza. My notes say that Joseph Perkins sent a petition for Elijah Winslow and others through the courtesy of John…

The actual record will be found in Supreme Judicial Court Records. You can order a copy from the Archives, or (if you're patient) wait for these records to be posted to FamilySearch. They seem to be working through the counties in reverse…

there are indeed free software programs you can download to unzip it. I use one called 7zip...   I use it for both work and for personal things. It is pretty easy and good instructions - a simple mode and a more expert mode. I hope it works…

I was able to download a zip file to my desktop but cannot open it. Do I have to order a hard copy from the Maine State Archives or is there a simple (free) way to access the information? William F. Irwin v. Catherine McKennon Irwin.

Discover the parents of Abraham Winslow and Elisabeth "Betsey" Welch. Also, I need to learn how to search for deeds. I have no clue.

I think that two of the missing children on the Maine birth index probably have their information withheld  because they were twins who were given up to the Home for Friendless Boys at birth in 1897. One appears on the 1900 federal census…

I have a notarized copy of my father's birth certificate (b. 24 Dec 1916) but can't find his birth in the Maine VR through 1922. That's not a problem, however, my great grandmother had 6 children before 1901, and I can only locate…

No, I don't think you can assume that. A batch number generally covered a town's entire collection of births or marriages (birth batches begin with C, marriage batches with M). All the batch number will tell you is which batch of records…

I have a Maine marriage with the number M50338-2. I know the data is correct. The bride is Elizabeth Allen. I also have a birth record number M50338-1.  The child is Betsey Allen and the parents are Elijah Allen and Merriam Porter. The source film on both is 10917. Is it likely that Betsey and Elizabeth are the same person based on the proximity of  the record numbers? The birth and marriage both took place in Freeport.See More

Penobscot Expedition

Can anyone recommend a good book on this. I'd like one that also covers the rescue of the settlers.

Family Search Records

The batch film source numbers are the same for each of Abraham Winslow's eight children, but the batch and source numbers for his marriage to Betsey Welch 12 Feb 1789 differ from those of the children. Can these numbers be used to find information online or by writing to the state? I was wondering if the marriage numbers might reveal the names of parents of the bride and groom?

The vital records of the town give your grandmothers name as Emma L. Coffin (birth) and some other records refer to her as "Lizzie". Emma married Charles R Woodman in 1891 (intentions 7 Nov 1891 in Freeport). In general, the work tracks people named Coffin and their spouses (Some exceptions like name changes,etc.). The 2006 work is obsolete, but would give one a feeling of where in the grand scheme of things one fits. I would be glad to send you a copy in return for Emma's death date and Charle's birth and death dates and say $5 for handling, postage, etc. Book is paperbound, over 80 pages, 8.5 x 11. Send surface address to eleven11@roadrunner.com for privacy concerns.

Elizabeth:

The Coffin's in Freeport, Brunswick, Phiipsbug, etc. area are 99% descended from Abner who came to Freeport c. 1760. The Coffin's in Wiscasset are a different branch (Alna--sometimes called Head Tide is on the Sheepscot adjacent and above Wiscasset).
I have tracked Abner's descendants for 30 years--I think the library has a copy of my 2006 release. Since 2006 I have added another 50% of pages, sources, checking, etc.

Samuel K (Eliz Winslow), Stephen (Mary Ann Gross), Stephen (Rhoda Welch), Stephen (Martha Chapman), Abner ((Mary Rawlins).
Will get back later. Ed Coffin
