Hello, Folks --
I'm relying on my memory for this one, and that's dangerous. But I
think I recall Stackpole's "Old Kittery and Her Families" talking about
religion in Kittery, and mentioning the Quaker families. I think the
Jenkins family was included. I don't have access to the book any more,
but I think that's what I read several years ago.
