They had children: Nancy, James, Mary Francis, Hannah Morton (which makes me
think wife Mary "was" a BRADFORD since it appears she named this daughter
after her mother), Susan BRADFORD COOK b. June 8, 1833 (my 3rd grt.
grandmother who was given the BRADFORD middle name), and Francis COOK, Jr.
Can anyone verify wife
Mary was born to Josephus and Hannah (MORTON) BRADFORD. I would greatly
appreciate any info. Thank You for your time.
I have already received information from Cyrus Eaton's books.

MAKER/TENANT: :
I am researching my husband's family - MAKER - and I am
interested in how/why Tenant's Harbour was named. I understand that it was
named for Joshua TENANT (his daughter Hannah married Jonathan MAKER). Can
you tell me anything about Joshua? his family? I understand his wife was
Ruth MATTHEWS but I have only the one child for him - Hannah. Was the
Harbour named for him because he died in the Revolutionary War? or was he a
land owner? Where did he come from? I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you. Susan Simmons New Zealand, July, 2002

Harpswell, ME; residing in Bath, ME in the 1790 census with seven males (three
over 16) and six females in the household; and residing in Camden, ME by 1794.
Benjamin is cited in some sources as the s/o Philip and Mary (WILEY) HIGGINS
but stronger evidence supports a Benjamin b 1764/1768 as their son. The
following is a list of probable children (or close relatives) of Benjamin and Sarah
(MATTHEWS) HIGGINS of Knox County.
MERCHANT/RICH/BUTTLER:I am researching the MERCHANT and RICH families. Henry MERCHANT was b in Stonington, Maine probably around 1865.
Henry was living in Vinalhaven, Maine by Sept 12, 1914.
Married to Ada F. RICH b Mt Desert, Maine. She was deceased at the time of son Ernest MERCHANT's marriage to Bertha MONROE 12 Sept 1914.
Bertha MONROE was b Lincolnville, Waldo Co., Maine. Her father was Benjamin MONROE b Lincolnville, ME and mother Sarah BUTTLER b Appleton, Knox Co., ME.
If you have any information on any of these families I would apprecitate it.
MERCHANT:I am interested in obtaining information on John S. Merchant. He was born
on Vinalhaven, and died there in 1905. He is buried Roberts Neck Cemetery,
Vinalhaven. His wifes name was Barbara?. They had a son named Herbert,
and a daughter Charlotte. (My great great grandmother) I am unclear as to
whether there were any other children or not. John has a picture of him
hanging in the Historical Society with him in Uniform from the Civil War.

his family if possible. Dates of birth, deaths, marriages, etc. Thanks

Josephus BRADFORD and Hannah MORTON but can't seem to find proof of this
anywhere. Francis COOK was b. Jan 22, 1796 in Friendship, ME and d. June 16,

MURPHY/CROCKER:
In the early 1900s Albion B. CROCKER wrote articles about Tenant's Harbour for
the Courier Gazette in Rockland (Knox Co) Maine. He wrote under the pen
name "Boze". His father, Charles Gideon CROCKER, had kept a diary for many
years and "Boze" used this diary as a source for many of his articles.
The diary (to my knowledge) has never surfaced among CROCKER relatives.
Albion B. CROCKER (1865 - 1940) had a second marriage to Emma J. MURPHY
(1858 - 1949) and I'm wondering if, perhaps, the diary might be in the
possession of HER family ? Albion left Tenant's Harbour and settled in
Somerville, MA
