I am seeking photos of my family and "the farm" in Maine. My ggrandfather, Leslie Griffin b. 1878 in Livermore, inherited the property from his mother Clara Morse. My grandfather, Richard Griffin b. 1900 in Somerville, MA, summered there, and I did too. There he met and married his wife, my grandmother, Hazel Norton b. 1901 in Livermore, in 1920.
I would also welcome any stories that you can offer of the Griffin, Norton and related families.

Thanks to a member of Maine Genealogy Net, Jean P, I might have found out why I can find no information on my 4th GGrandfather Nathaniel Norton's parents. Nathaniel was b. 1 Aug 1762 in Sanford, ME according to Rev War records. He married Hannah Sawyer and all but one of their children stayed in Maine. Their son, Reuben, is my ancestor and the only one who left ME.
Jean located a York County court record for Abigail Norton who was fined for having a child out of wedlock…

I am trying to find out when William Wallace Brown died and where he and his wife, Louise Augusta Brown, are buried.He was born 18 February 1847 on West Isle, NB but came to Calais, Maine with his parents when he was about five. Wallace spent the rest of his life in Calais. He had a crockery shop and also was an Indian agent.
His wife died in Calais on 30 March 1919. Wallace was alive then but does not appear on the 1920 U.S. Census.

In my last post in this series on my 2xgreat grandfather Asa Freeman
Ellingwood's Civil War Pension file, I talked about the revelation in the
testimony of his cousin James Barrows that he(Barrows) had testified
before in the case and in fact there were two previous afidavits! When
I checked the testimony of several other witnesses on Asa's behalf, I found
they had also testified on earlier occasions.
So how did I miss…

my adventure has taken me to so many different places to look at records. Apparently my family is all over NE Massachusetts and they frequently have births, marriage or deaths listed in more then one VR. It sure makes it easier to find information but makes it all the more unusual that I cannot find any information about the death of my 6th Great Grandfather - Captain Israel Davis. Not a thing…
