Hi again-
Had a chance to 'look around'-
First off- John Bagley Sr's wife's name is spelled Elisabeth- not with a z- sorry.
I presume this is the same as the 'Betsy' Hall who married John Bagley on March 31, 1814 in Washington County( both of Eastport)- from the Morman- Family History Library.
other Bagley names I saw there-
Davis Bagley m. Sally Tinny- Oct 25,1810 in WC- both of Machias
Saphronia(I presume this is Sophronia)Bagley m Cyros( again-this is propb. Cyrus)
W. Chase- Oct,26, 1833 in WC- both of East Machais
Maine State Archives roll 7,vol-1,page 7
Next- the town clerks-
of Whiting- Washington County-
Bernice A. McHatten, POBox 101, Rt1,Whiting, Maine 04691 tel-207-733-2027
and of Machiasport, Washington County-
Margaret Flaherty, POBox 267, Rt92, Machiasport, Maine 04655 tel 207-255-4516
After I found John Sr in the 1850 censusof Whiting,I also found John Jr. on previous page- with wife Mary Campbell and son Benjamin W.H.
In the 1900 census John Jr. is found in Machiasport,just before his death with wife #2 - Rachel and son Arthur
As for his sister Elisabeth- who m. Jeremiah Campbell- I found her with her parents in 1850 and in the next house to John Jr. is Jeremiah and his parents James and Margaret Campbell. I don't see them in the 1900 census.
In your query about Cora Bagley- I found her in the Maine State Archives Marriage Index- with husbands- Sylvester Bagley of Centerville and William Trott if Edmunds, Maine.
I also found Sophronia Bagley and Cyrus Chase in the 1850 census with 7 children.
On to the name Kinghorn-
Since they came in to the US from Canada in 1860 and 1870 I could only pick them up on the 1900 census. There are however 25 Kinghorn names in the Canadian index from the 1830s to 1900 with several locations. I can send you a list of the names and locations and see if there is anyone you want to follow up on. In the 1900 census-
Stephen's mother Mary D.( from Canada-1860) is listed as a widow- age 71- in Machiasport. Stephen is a sailor, age 27, still single.
The other Kinghorn in the area is Ambrose- also from Canada(1870)- with his wife Maggie and 2 children
Looks like it is time for you to e-mail me your address so I can send copies of what I have-
Enjoy!
