I am doing some genealogy research and was wondering who is the
historical expert on Roxbury, Maine that might be able to help me with
some details.
I am specifically looking for more information on Ebenezer and Ruth
(Cogswell) Allen who may have lived in Roxbury in the 1800's.
Ebenezer's parents are Reuben and Lydia (Thurston) Allen. Ruth's
parents are Dr. Joseph and Judith (Colby) Cogswell. It is rumored that
Ebenezer may have also been married to a Nancy Judkins or a Mary before
Ruth. This is indicated by the tombstone of Deborah "the daughter of
Ebenezer and Mary" He was also married to an Elizabeth ? as stated in
the 1850 census. Elizabeth is not buried in the family plot.
I am descended from their son Thomas and his wife Diantha Huston who
married Daniel Oldham after Thomas death. Any advice and insight you
can provide is appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for information on Zebediah MITCHELL, and his wife, Sarah
(PORTER) MITCHELL, possible ancestors, who lived in Mexico in 1820 and
then apparently in Rumford. They died Aft 1820 and are buried in the
yard near the house that was once Fred A. Porter's of Rumford Falls, ME
(maybe still is-I have no dates on Fred Porter). Their children were
Nancy, Jonathan, Darius, Salome and Sarah. Zebediah was probably b in
Providence Co, RI, and Sarah in Windham Co, CT.
Any additional information would be welcomed, especially on any of
Zebediah's sibs or parents, dates of death for Zebediah and Sarah and
any married names of their daughters and any known grandchildren for
Zebediah and Sarah. Thanks.

Doing research on O'Leary's in Rumford/Mexico, Maine
Richard Alexander O'Leary (son of Keady A O'Leary & Mary Eliza
Saunders) was born 1880 in New Brunswick Canada. He died 1905/6 in
Rumford. He worked at the mill, got hurt at work, developed pnemonia
(sp?) and subsequently died. I am sure he is buried in Rumford though I
can't seem to find any record of his death or burial.
Can you be of assistance or point me to someone who can??
Any help would be much appreciated.

My name is Kristi Jamison-Davidson-Holz and I am looking for
information on the Jamison and Carey family trees. My
grandmother was Dorothy Carey-Jamison and my grandfather was Walter E.
Jamison. They resided in Rumford, Maine and left during the early
1960�s. Walter Jamison worked at the paper mill. Their
children were James, Susan, Eugene (Gene) also my father and Peter. My
family is estranged and I am curious about the history. I was told that
there was a book written on the Jamison Family but do not know the
name. There is heresay that we have Native American in our family tree
and a French Canadian background. This is the beginning of my search
any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me.
Thank you!
