at the Massachusetts State Archives as follows:

nor am I familiar with them after the NH/Rockingham Co. phase of their
lives.

Late Feb. through early April (depending on weather conditions).....it's maple sugar time......
I have found several websites and hopefully to will be able to go to one of them.
Our forefathers learned how to boil sap from maple trees to make syrup from the Indians
of New England..... sugar was scarce in early New England and the maple syrup was a good
replacement !

Keep in mind that Maine was actually part of Massachusetts until 1820 and you will need to find information at the Massachusetts
State Archives in Boston.....look for "Maine Papers" [on line] . Am sure the Maine State Archives will have information but dont know
how far back their information goes.

I show a several TOWLE in my files, only 1 remotely related to my listings.
My sources show TOWLE in Hampton, NH and Chester, NH. Philip TOWLE and
Isabelle ASTEN (Austin in one listing) are mentioned as the parents of a Caleb
TOWLE, B-14 May 1678. Married Zipporah BRACKET. She died 14 Aug 1756. Caleb was
the father of Francis Towle mentioned below.
I would believe that Chester, NH has a library and you may be able to get
info from them from the following book, if they have it.

Hoopers had three known children: Ella P. who married Hazo F. Wood,
Angeline, b. 1849 (nothing further known), and John S., b. 1854 (nothing
further known). Would like to know the names of the parents of both Sanford
and Sarah and any additional info on family. Would appreciate having
someone look up the family in 1850 - they were probably living in
Waterville - they were there in 1860 & 1870, absent in 1880.

Have you asked on the Towle List? I was once told that all Maine Towles are
descended from Philip Towle and someone on that list may be able to help you.
