Hi all!
I believe we have the wrong Hannah listed for George and Dorcas.
There are two Hannahs in the 1850 census for Tremont Maine.
Hannah daughter of George and Dorcas Murphy is too old to be our Hannah who married James Moulden/ Moulding
1850 Tremont ME
George Murphy 30carpenter
Dorcas 42
Benjamin 24 fisherman
HannahM. 22(born about 1828)
George 19
Rueben 17
Isabelle 13
Isaac11
John 9
Dorcas A 6
William 3
Benjamin Otis 19
Another Hannah Murphy age 13 in 1850 Tremont is living with James M and Emerline Butler.
Her birth date about 1837 fits with our Hannah.
I believe this Hannah was the daughter of Joshua and Lois or Louise Dow. But have no proof.
1840 Black island census
Joshua Murphy 122xxx112xxx1
1 male under 5
2 males under 10
2 males under 15
Joshua under 50
1 female under 5
2 females under 10
Lois under 40
Joshua is missing in 1850 and perhaps dead,
and if I am correct Lois may be remarried to a George Butler.
Is it a coincidence that our Hannah is living with the Butler family?
LDS shows one daughter for Joshua and Lois named Rhoda A.
The following are my suspects for Joshua's children.
There isa Mary Murphy age 15 in 1850 Mt Desert Lewis Freeman household.
There is a Rhoda age 11 and Edward Murphy age 22 in 1850 Mt Desert living in the Benjamin Richardson household
And This may be our Lois Dow/Murphy/Butler
on Black Island in 1850
George Butler 52
Louis Butler 50(Lois? Louise??)
George Butler 6
Albion Butler 4
Pheba Murphy age 8
Our Hannah who married James Moulding or Moulden
coincidently had daughters who share these names.
Mary,Rhoda and Phebe.
Also
Rhoda had a daughter named Lizzie Myra.
Hannah had daughters Lizzie and Myra.
There is also a Joshua Murphy in 1870 Tremont age 39 who has a daughter Rhoda and son William. perhaps he too is a son of Joshua.
What does everyone else think?
Anyone know?
Bob
