Mellisa:Emily M. Colcord was born at Fox Island, ME, 26 Mar. 1830 and died at Ellsworth, ME, 15 Jul. 1908 (see "Colcord Genealogy", 1908, p. 69). She m. Augustus H. Stilkey at Bangor, ME, 15 Apr. 1849 (Ruth Gray, "Marriage Returns of Penobscot County, Maine", Camden, ME, 1994, 2:136). They were both residents of Bangor when they married. I know nothing of Stilkey except that according to Emily's half-brother (Doane Blood Colcord, author of the Colcord Genealogy)he was "a mason by trade, a find young man who contracted the drink habit and died early from intemperance"! Emily was a nurse during the Civil War and a daughter of David (7) & Martha (West) Colcord. She had two more husbnds: Woodman C. Hunton and J. Smith. She is buried in Bangor, ME, next to her first husband. I will be happy to supply you with her Colcord ancestry if you like. Tim Colcord
