Dear Ruth.I don't want to be picky, to start off this letter, but I'm sure that you meant Priscilla Jones.I don't know any Priscilla Shepherd.Sorry about that!This is what I have.Dolly was the daughter of Abner Heal Junr.Abner was born 2 June 1779/1783 in Edgecomb, in what is now the State of Maine.He died 7 Dec. 1859, aged 78 yrs. in Lincolnville, Me., aged 80 years 6 months and 5 days.He and his wives are buried in Lot #49 in the Youngtown Cemetery in Lincolnville, and I'm supposing that I got his dates from the gravestone and Census, and the town records.You see, in the beginning, I made the mistakes as have many others, in not recording my sources.I've learned some hard lessons since then.He married 1) to Anna [called Annie] Young, born 5 Feb. 1783 in Camden, [now Maine], daughter of Gideon and Jemima (Cilley) Young.She died 14 Feb. 1833, aged 50 years.Abner married 2) Joanna F. Whitney, born circa 1796, daughter of John and Lois (Wadsworth) Whitney.She died 11 Dec. 1875 aged 79 years, 10 months.The children of Abner, Junr. and Anna (Young) Heal were: Hezekiah Heal born 5 Dec. 1803; died 22 June 1871.He married in 1829 to Ruth Wadsworth; Dolly Heal, born 8 Sept. 1805 and died 9 Dec. 1884.She married 25 Mar. 1825 to Sedate Whitney; Martin Heal, born Oct. 1807.He was living with widow Joanna Heal in the 1860 Census; Moses Y. Heal [probably Moses Young Heal] born circa 1810; died 24 Jan. 1885;He married 8 Sept. 1833 to Louisa Heal;George Washington Heal born 5 May 1812; died 23 Jan. 1903, aged 90 yrs. 8 mos. and 18 days; unmarried.He was called 'Washington' Heal; Norris Heal born circa 1811; died 25 Nov. 1886, married in 1834 to Christiana Heal of Belmont, Me.; Samuel W. Heal born 25 Nov. 1815; died 11 Mar. 1899; married 1) 4 Dec. 1842 to Ruth Heal; and 2) 1 Sept. 1869 to Clementine Moody, who I also believe was from Belmont, Me.; Hosea B. Heal born 5 Aug. 1819; died 21 Jan. 1890; married 1) 3 Dec. 1840 Priscilla Clark; and 2) 16 Nov. 1879 to Hannah Philbrook.The children of Abner Heal, Junr. and his second wife Joanna F. Whitney were:Annie E. Heal born Feb. 1834; died 17 Mar. 1914; married 20 Nov. 1852 to Francis W. Richards; Cynthia Ellen Heal, born 25 Sept. 1836; died 8 Mar. 1922, married 12 June 1855 to Thomas Jefferson Young, who served in the Civil War; and Asenath Heal born [?] 30 Jan. 1838; died 12 Jan. 1892; married 10 Nov. 1861 to James Henry Young.This is what I have in the 'Heal/Heald Genealogical Workbook- 1988'.I do know that any dates after 1892, I gleaned from the mircofilms at the Maine State Archives, where I went many times, going over and over them, to get every bit of info that I could on the Heal/Heald family.The births of three of Abner, Junr. and Anna (Young) Heal's children, Hezekiah, Dolly and Martin are found on page 33 of the original Lincolnville, Maine records.If you would email me, at [email protected], I can send you a copy of a clipping from the Camden, Maine newspaper, done in Dec. 2000 by a friend of mine, who interviewed Lawrence Whitney of Appleton, Maine Ridge, who has personal history of the family of Dolly (Heal) Whitney, and some family photos.My friend did a nice full page historical article about the family.May God bless.Isabel Morse Maresh
