Richard,
Which Brackett line are you tracing? From Anthony the Immigrant, there is an interesting monument to Cleeve & Brackett in a waterfront park by Munjoy Hill (Portland). There is another Brackett monument by the Maine Medical Center and a close by cemetery with Brackett stones.Go straight past the hospital, past the monument, & the cemetery is there somewhere towards the foot of the hill. Can't remember its name. Also, in Portland there is a Brackett Street. From Portland you can take a ferry to Peaks Island which had Brackett settlers. There are also many cemeteries in the New Harbor - Pemequid area with Brackett stones. I have some on video, but naturally forgot to get the name of the cemetery. I'll be more organized on my next trip.
