At this point I’m trying to finish an update to “A New England Genealogy” which…

The Whiting Women - Synopsis

          The legend of Gladys Mabel Hunt[1] began many years before she was even born in Wellington, Maine, on the cusp of the 20th century.  She was born to "White" parents, whose own parents were all "White", as were all of their ancestors.  Not a single Narragansett Indian. Zero.

Paul Myrick married Mary Coombs in 1798 on Vinalhaven. They had 10 children and he was in 3 censuses. I need proof of his birthdate so I can connect him to the Paul Myrick who was born in 1774 in Dartmouth,Mass. Lucinda Myrick, his daughter married Josiah Harding on Vinalhaven in 1820. I need proof of his birthdate and father and grandfather's names. find a grave is a guess that he is joshua's son.
