Research Notes

  • Birth Record is required.
  • 1860 Census described above is off in the age of Mary, but not the age difference between her and her husband Joseph. Also, the name of the son is transcribed as "Hither." Further confirmation of them living in Berwick, Maine would add to the confidence of this source. If this is not accurate, a 1860 Census is required.
