I just wanted to send a quick "thank you" to the whole list for the help
with Mary Ann Clark who married James Hall from Matinicus. I have found out
that Mary Ann Clark was one of the daughters of my great-grandfather William
W. Clark and Hannah Cook Clark and she had been born in St. George.
I just want to once again post my brick wall, my great grandfather William
W. Clark. The following is what I know about him:
Born: February 20, 1784 - Trenton ?
Died: October 12, 1838 - St. George, Me buried
I wonder if someone could help me, I need to find a birth record for
Matinicus for 1822. Could anyone advise where I would locate births or
marriages for there.
I need to find the parents of a Mary Ann Clark who was born, I believe, on
Matinicus in 1822. She later married James Hall, and their children were
born on Matinicus, and they later moved to Appleton.
Is there a Town Clerk on Matinicus or are the records located somewhere
else? Thanks.

To Mary Norton:
Many thanks for posting the excerpt on Matinicus from the McLane book. I'm
descended from both Ebenezer Hall and Abraham Young. The two lines tied
when my great-great-grandfather, Thomas Ginn, whose mother, Sarah Young,
was Abraham's daughter, married his second cousin, Jane Emery Calderwood,
whose mother, Charity Hall, was the daughter of Ebenezer Hall and Susannah
Young.
Can you please tell me the publisher of the McLane book, Mid-Coast Islands
of Maine?
Thanks,
Robert Ginn

I was beginning to wonder if I was still subscribed. My Knox County
ancestor search includes CARVER, BROWN, FLORUS, Otis SHAW and others. Would
be interested in knowing if any of the Knox County cemeteries have been
transcribed and put on-line.

I have been busily researching my PERRY family from the Thomaston-Rockland area
and will soon be posting some of my findings. Just trying to get everything
tidied up. It's taken a while, but I've been able to show that the man given in
Cyrus Eaton's _History or Thomaston, Rockland and South Thomaston_ as Job Perry
of Marshfield, MA, was actually Joseph Perry. I've been tracing his movements
up the coast of Maine to Thomaston. More to come. If this is your family, I've

He married Lucy SMITH in Wiscassett, Lincoln, ME. 2 April 1789.(this
was her 2nd marriage--she is presumably from Nantucket.)
They had at least 10 children. Daughter Mary COBB was reportedly born

Hi:
I haven't noticed any activity on this list for a while and someone else was
asking if the list still existed, so I thought I would post and check the

Re: Matinicus Vital Records: The Vinalhaven Historical Soc. would know about
that and probably have them. They are theVinalhaven coordinators for

I'm looking for the parents of Sarah Jane SEAVEY/SEAVY, age 28 in the
1860 Rockland Census and freshly married to widower William PERRY, Jr.,
age 60.
What I've found for her:
the record of her marriage (with her first name wrong),
a marriage announcement in the Rockland Courier-Gazette newspaper,
her death announcment in the Courier-Gazette in 1870,
...but not a single clue to the identity of her parents other than that
she was born in Maine.
A researcher in Rockland has checked cemetery records for me.
