Subject: [MAINE] Does/Did this town exist?
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 20:29:23 EDT


Williamsburg, Piscataquis, Maine

Searching on the LDS 1880 census site in Shirley and Blanchard, Williamsburg
showed up. I've never heard of it nor can I find it in "Discontinued Names of
Towns". The only possibility I can think of is Willimantic and that LDS got
it wrong. It apparently is a slate quarry town. An example is pasted below.
Have a solution to this puzzle?? Thanks. Allen
