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 Dawnie Hodgkins

Their children were Nancy, Jonathan, Darius, Salome and Sarah. Zebediah was probably b in Providence Co, RI, and Sarah in Windham Co, CT.
