Notes

For starters, pulling stuff out of Maine secondary sources.

Mehitable (Webber) Farnham

• Would love to have Benjamin's will/probate records. Or maybe those of Martha (Day) Webber. My question is, who took care of all those kids when their parents, including step-mom, died one after the other leaving seven, by my count, minor children without parents. Three of the girls were married, with kids of their own. They might have taken 2-3 each - or not.
