I believe that quite a few of them arrived in Kitsap County(Port Gamble area) on a sailing vessel named the Toander that sailed out of Maine around 1857 and around Cape Horn.My G-grandfather, Thomas Pierce, and a Thompson were two of them on board. I am having trouble tracing BACK from there.MyGgrandfather was born in E.Machias.I know he and Mary Ellen McCabe, also from E.Machias,were married before he left Maine and that she followed later on a sailing ship to Panama and on to Calif. and then to Seabeck, Wash.(Kitsap Co.)she was one of the first "white women" in Seabeck.But more than that I have been unable to find. Try Jefferson Co. in Washington in your searching as well - you will find more Maine people there.
