Hi, I am trying to gather info on Benjamin Harrington/Hannah Dodge, both parents and descendents.
I think I've pieced together this (all of this, by the way, taking place in Edgecomb, Lincoln, Maine): Benjamin & Hannah's son:
Israel, b 1788, had a daughter:
Betsey b 1816, who m 1837 to William Harrington (her cousin? I can't seem to fit William into the other Edgecomb Harringtons? can anyone ID him? He was b 26 Dec 1808, m 4 Oct 1837, d 4 Aug 1855);
Betsey & William had
Edwin (1840);
Sarah (b 1842, possibly died 1855?);
Betsey (1846);
Henry (1851);
possibly another Sarah (born abt 1855).
This younger, "mystery Sarah" was living two houses away from Betsey (who was then on husband #3) in the 1880 census, age 25, as a boarder with the Daniel Page family. She was also recorded as being deaf.
I'd like to confirm the relationship of the younger Sarah. I've recorded every Harrington in Edgecomb in the 1880 census, and her being a second daughter Sarah to Betsey makes the most sense.
Does anyone have info on this?
Sandy, where did you look to find the children of Benjamin Harrington and Hannah Dodge? Finding records from Maine seems hard compared with Massachusetts!
Thanks, everyone, for the help! -Barbara
