Hi Nelson, given that you mention Elthia Hatch, do you happen to know of a Phoebe Hatch that was in the Greene area?

Thomas Ray 1780 & Elthia Hatch 1809 greene,me

Why is Martin V. Whitney buried in Peare Cemetery? Again, this is just an assumption, but I do know that James Peare is the person that provided the land to establish that cemetery. Given that Martin resided w/ this Peare and his daughter Elizabeth Peare Rowe (widowed) in 1880 and the info we've since discovered about Theron and the assumption that his birth mother was a 'Rowe'...There is definately a connection and I believe this is why we find Martin buried in this cemetery.

Hi Nelson, I'm leading towards Lewiston for a burial place for Theron and Z. Leah Peare...in 1900 Census they are listed in Lewiston. A spelling error as she is listed as "Silpa" record states they were married for 14 yrs. ( marr: 1886) and record lists their children: May L. b. Nov. 1886, Walter b. Aug. 27, 1890, and Edith E b. June 1895. Then in the 1910 Census they are listed under Auburn as Theron, Leah, Walter now 18 yrs old, and Edith age 14.  By Aug 15, 1914 Leah is deceased in Auburn, Me.  Then Theron is in 1920 Census (unknown where but in Androscoggin cty.) Census record states his age: 57, and also lists son Walter living there age: 29 and also Martin now age 85. In 1930 Census I find Walter, Theron's son living in Greene, married to Estella w/ a child named Marie P, age 8. No idea where Theron is in yr. 1930..Theron died 1940....we need to look in Auburn  or Lewiston for her burial place ..of course this is just an assumption on my part I've no found proof yet!

my faimly on my grandmothers side are Ray whom still live on the lane road near the Peare cemetary. my cousin built a new home behind the old cemetary. I do not know were Theron was burried but will find out this spring.

would like to know why Martin V. Whitney is burried their and not Theron. ZILPHA Leah Peare is burried where?

                                                                                           thanks

I'm w/ you as the Peare and Rowe 's that I'm talking of are in Greene.

Of course, that is assuming 'Elizabeth Peare Rowe was THE Rowe that is assumed to be Theron's birth mother.
