BLAKE: I am interested in any information you may have of George W. Blake listed in some reports of coming from St. George, ME. I believe he was born around 1858 and married Dora H. Hart of Appleton in 1887. One of his 5 children, Clarence O. Blake was my father. Any items of interest pertaining to the Blake lineage would be appreciated. Thank you, Florence Blake Caron of Massachusetts.

KALLOCH: An article about Sarah Phinney KALLOCH, (Mrs. Hanse Kelloch), who lived in the St. George area from approximately 1814 to at least 1870 is published in the Stories Section on the St. George USGenWeb page. The piece was originally published in the Summer 2003 edition of CUMTUX, the Clatsop County (Oregon) Historical Society magazine. Sarah was the paternal great, great, great grandmother of Marilyn Morrison who lives in the State of Washington. She would like to know more about her. Click here to read the article.

LEE: I am looking for the ancestry of Abigail LEE, b ca 1794 [ 1850 census] "of St. George" when she married William ALBEE "Of Boothbay" 21 Sep 1812 in St. George [Vital Records of St George, Maine compiled by Marlene Groves].

I suspect she was a daughter of James LEE who was in Cushing in 1790 census. Thomaston Records have a marriage for a James LEE to Abigail ELWELL, both of St. George, int. 15 May 1788.

SHEERER: Hello! I'm helping my friend (Beth Waters (nee Sheerer)) research her family tree, particularly her first ancestor in America who appears to have been a Capt. Fred Sheerer (Sherer, Shearer). He came from London around 1850 and resided in St. George. He married Hannah Pease and had children William (postmaster in Tenants Harbor), Lovey Ann, Marion, Rose, Fannie, and Fred. I also believe he may have captained a schooner of his own name.

Any little bit of information would be much appreciated.

Sincerest Regards, Aramathea Nakayama (an_eggnogg@yahoo.com) Kobe, Japan

SNOW/WATTS/McLAUGHLIN: Greetings. I was writing to see if you couldn't help me trace some family history. My Great Grandmother was Harriet SNOW WATTS. I know my Great Grandmother's Middle name is connected to Snow (as a surname). In a very odd turn of events, it just so happens to be the Middle name I chose for my daughter. It wasn't until I looked up Hattie's death certificate that I found her middle name was SNOW.

Tenants Harbor, Knox, ME Born 14 Jun 1888 Last Benefit: Died Feb 1973

She married Wallace McLAUGHLIN (I'm Carmen McLaughlin) B in 1891. I'm trying to find out who Hattie's mother was or her father. I have a Sam Watts some place in there but I am not sure which Samuel Watts it is. All I know is Hattie's father was a sea captain of some sort in Maine. She would take trips with him to NY. Do you have any information that would help? Thank you for your time, Carmen.

Note: Christine Rike has sent some Watts info.
Does anyone have any SNOW or McLAUGHLIN info?
Carmen lives in PA.
