Further Note: These picks were from the Census Index for Maine ...and my gggps lived in the Portland, Me area ..so I have not used, after 1820, picks outside the York & Cumbeland County area.
Oxford County is near the NH Canadian line up Kennebec country.

Numbers are for pages in the specific US federal Census for Maine (every decade)

William Durgin, by Genealogical Dictionary of New England ..settled at Ipswich "DURGIN, DURGIN, OR DIRGEY, Portsmouth 1684. John, Ipswich, had John,b.23 Nov 1689; and Andrew, 20 Sept. 1692. William,over 1664, was with a w. Martha, d of Robert Cross, at Ipswich, had Martha, b. Aug. 1668, prob. went back to New Hampsh. there lv.1684"

A LIST OF NAMES FOUND AMONG THE FIRST SETTLES OF NEW ENGLAND [From unpublished manuscripts prepared by Mr S.G Drake -not in Farmers Register]. PASSENGERS TO AMERICA by Michael Tepper p. 468 ..William Durgie [sic], come by Ipswich, Nov 9, 1663, and was then 33 years old. Hade been in the W Indies and come here from there. Wife Martha perhaps then is that sme written Durgin.

[Durgin Maine Family descends from William Durgin [1603 England] & WIlliam Durgin II ..& .. Libby & Leighton Families of Massachusetts Bay Colony to Maine 1630? ]

Genealogical Directory Of Maine & New Hampshire ... by Noyes, p 211
"William Durgin ..House at Lubberland paid for barley ..." 1643, 1663, 1693 mentio in text.

William Durgin had 2 wives (widowed) and several children; followed by one of his sons named William Durgin II.

NB ... 1820 is Maine statehood prior to 1820, was province of Massachusetts ... Also 1850 is first US Census after 1848 European Famine

Charles H Scott married Mary Anne Durgin (both ggp's) from Portland, Maine .... So after 1820 or so, most picks are from the Portland area. Numbers are census page numbers ..York to the north was divided into other counties including Cumberland with Portland therein.
The 1820 Henry Scott in North Yarmouth is likely gggf Henry Scott m a Pingam in 1824

Sarah E Scott married Joseph A Connolly,June 25-27 1906 ..son of Bryan Connolly & Winifred McGowan...both great grandparents-paternal were Ireland-borne came to USA as children. dob's circa 1850-1855 from Lietrim area?
Scott Family Origins in Maine --this via Massachusetts Bay colonists to the Portsmouth, NH & Kittery, Maine area.

Two Maine pioneer branches: one sea bound & sea captains the 1790 Federal Census- Johns Scott (father) & sons: - John Burnham Scott & Andrew Scott ... 1800, 1810, to 1850 in Kittery of York County through Limerick Portland area to North Yarmouth. The other branch in tracing colonized "Plantation" Mach in Washington County. Machias & St Croix River to the North were the US-Canadian boundaries and old English-French boundaries.
...
The Pioneers of Maine & New Hampshire by Pope ... p 183
"Year 1642 .. James Scott ..Skot Skote
James, Portsmouth, before the CourtJune 27,1656, had a lot [piece not quantity] of land, half an acre, at Great Island assigned him June 1, 1656-7."
....


Scott Family of Maine believed also descending, associating .. from Samuel Scott of Canterbury, Kent [1706] ..

More coming .. they are also possibly of Scottish who sailed to Barbados & then to New England approx 1630 ..also one is a merchant .. making the same trip.
and may in part join family of John Scott - Springfield Plantation -Massachusetts via branch from Boston area & England to Maine 1650? ... Scotts in Maine in Limerick are nearest Portland area.

NB ... no discerned connection with Maine Scotts to James Scott - Duke of Monmouth .. pssibly his son John Scott (connected too Springfield, massachusetts Scotts?) ..which Scott Family joins the present family of the Duke of Buccleigh (previously an Earl) of the Scott Family in Scottish Borders.
...Duke of Monmouth was the son of King Charles II and a mistress and beheaded in the sustaining of the Glorious Revolution ... by which Parliament unseated the Stuarts and crowned King WIliam III and Queen Mary II.

 

Mary Alice Scott 1885-1969

Mary Alice Scott is the daughter of Charles H Scott & Mary Anne Durgin ..my great-aunt and the family genealogist for her Scott-Durgin failies .. and her descending Connollys and other connections

A literate, gentle maiden lady, she kept her family record,including her Scott Family Bible in a wooden portable desk (as one sets in one'slap) with a business dress photo of her father in top hat (some resemblance to Woodrow WIlson) ...

Great Aunt Mary Alice Scott is also the namesake of her father's cousin by great great Uncle Eugene Scott ... and cousin Mary Alice Scott (b 1842) regularly wrote for Maine & Portland magazines.
Her sister Della May Scott married J Freeman of Portland.

Her box of family history bible & genealogy were last seen in 1994 at 9 Pilgrim Road, West Springfield, Ma (mine-this webmaster's house) ..and it and its contents are reputed sold for their innate value as old documents ..or crudely marketed for a genealogy racket. Included are a 'hand made wooden writing box' or secretary bearing the name Mary Ann Durgin ... & other photographs of PEI McCormacks passed off as MacNeils

Also the Mary Alice Scott birth certificate has been altered ifor a forgery and used for a new bank account and tax identity by the perpetrators.

Her Scott & Durgin family hstories are an important part of my family history and Maine history ... and should be preserved.

Addendum - Several parties have referenced a genealogy for these families for Portland, Oregon -- they area for Portland, Maine. Portland, Me & Portland, Ore families did connect in the latter's founding by sea captains from Salem & Portland. [Sadly Portland, Ore remains one of the biggest credentials fraud centers in the USA]

Contact scottagin@webtv.net if you have information.

Wills, family bibles, old deeds, photos, etc. are replacements for lost history

The same activity occurred with family property of McCormack-McNeill ancestry for PEI & Massachusetts relations -- possibly used to revive an old family real estate business in Boston .. and to create backgrounds for illegal aliens.

A package of MacNeill family history may aslobe i circulation ..which includes Holyhood-Brookline, Ma burial plot lists Mary Ellen MacNeill & family. The missrepresented paperwork is mssing a burial from 1999 and wasprinted in 1994-95 and is a common cemetery grave location map and family burial list which one would obtain from a cemetery. It was being sold & re-sold as genealogy & immigration paperwork with McCormack family photographs -copied (one shows a group of businessmen centering aroung one with white hair and a beard) mis-reperesnted as MacNeills from Ireland. Same parties may mis-repreent the garve as re-salable and offer disenterrment - as is common in some partof Europe with 99 year gravesites.

Genealogy fraud is not un-common but is illegal ... the purpose is also a sale of an illegal background in America... publicity helps police it.

A suggestion of the Connolly Family Descent from William Durgin here.
Some Durgin's may have re-joined from Boston & NH .. and Portland, Maine has a Portland Durgin by 1845-50 distinguishing him from the more western and southern Cornish or Machias? Durgins. [really his name]

Limerick, Maine, on the Saco River Valley was settled in about 1775 on the site of an old Sokoki Indian camp & trading place.
[By coincidence ..Limerick, Ireland was the last port and point of land held by the Stuart rebellion against William III & Mary II & Parliament -- its French forces and fleet departed in 1689 after peace was made.]

Cornish, Maine .. also a Sokoki trading place and camp, was settled in 1668

New Gloucester was settled later in 1866 from the old Sabbath Day Lake Village .. an old Shaker Community from 1799.
