Hi,

I was wondering if any one has any knowledge of these people and if I am on
the right trail. I have a Nancy Shorey born April 15,1812 in Solon Maine. She
married a William H. Mitchell. I believe her parents were an Ichabod Shorey
born about 1770-1780 and Polly Hilton. Nancy had a brother Richard Shorey born
abt 1808 who married a Caroline Mackie. 2 of Richard's daughters married
Mitchell's. They were Olive Shorey who married Henry William Mitchell and Dorcas
who married ALonzo Mitchell.

On the 1920 census I find Ichabod Shorey living next door to a Benjamin
Shorey born about 1787 in Palermo Maine. I am pretty sure they were probably
brothers .I have searched the family search.org site and found that both Benjamin
and Ichabod were married in Lebanon Maine. This must mean that they are part
of the Shorey family who came from Kittery Maine.

I have found that Ichabod Shorey also lived in Palmyra and Piscataquis
according to the census reports. Ichabod's wife Polly is interred in the cemetery
in Shirley Maine.
