Thanks in advance.

Dear Kay:
There is no record of them being formally ordained to serve in any
church in either Biddeford or Saco, acc. to my search of "Saco Valley
Settlements and Families" by G. T. Ridlon, Jr., which covers from the
beginning of settlement of Biddeford and of Saco up to 1895 or in
"Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England" by Frederick
Lewis Weis, who listed clergy from the beginning of Biddeford and Saco.
Please let me know if your individuals are identified.
Regards,

Hi
Perhaps someone can tell me why so many people moved from Strafford NH to
Exeter, Dexter ME about the 1830's to 1840's. I have wonder about this for
a long time. It also seams like a lot of them left ME in between 1850
and1860.

It wasn't just Strafford to Exeter/Dexter. They moved from all over
New England into central Maine. I've found lots of families who moved
up from the Cape Cod area as well. Why? New land. Younger sons who
stood no chance of inheriting their father's farm headed out for
greener pastures. Maine was a popular spot in the early 1800s, and
after that their eyes turned westward to the midwest and far west.

That's exactly it - northern and central Maine were still a "frontier" in
the mid 1800's, with plenty of open land for the taking. It didn't take
long for them to figure out that the Midwest and far West were more fertile
and hospitable for farming and development.

My Bunker line went from Durham, NH to Sedgwick, ME to Charleston, Me to Wisconsin and then to Minnesota over the years. I believe they were following the logging operations. Or, following the pines, as I like to think of it...
