Hello,

I need to cut down on the Mailing Lists I subscribe to, so I'd like to post
one question (also posted it last year?) before I unsubscribe.

One of my strongly built "brick walls" is a Samuel WILKINS born in the
1770's in "Maine." Right around 1800 in or near Unity, ME, he married
Electra "Leeta" ______. They had 5 or 6 children while in Unity, ME,
but, just before 1830, most of the family moved to Amity, ME. (mid-Maine
to very northern Maine)

My ancestor was their daughter, Mary Jane WILKINS, who married my ancestor,
J. Calvin KIDDER (b 1799 NB), of Calais, Amity, and Princeton, ME.

The youngest child was named George Freeman WILKINS. And, after he
married Mary Ann NEAL of the ME/NB border, they named their first child ..
George Freeman WILKINS, and the son went by the name, Freeman WILKINS, while
he lived in New Brunswick. (George and Mary WILKINS had 10 children.)

For Samuel WILKINS there are two, big questions:
1) Who were his parents?
2) What was the maiden name of his wife?

And, did his wife, or he, have any connections to the FREEMAN families which
lived in northern "Maine" the same time they did?

(Maine did not become a state until 1820.)
(Possible fathers for Samuel WILKINS, were the several WILKINS men who were
Revolutionary War soldiers "from Maine.")

Thank you for your time.
