Nathaniel and his family travelled by stagecoach in 1816 from Salem Ma to Raymond Me and stopped at Westbrook on route, details I have been given about the inns in those days have led me to this site and it has taught me a lot to enhance my overall researchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283225970813159623.post-25187251014714834042022-07-31T04:28:16.398-07:002022-07-31T04:28:16.398-07:00I have long been fascinated by the asymmetrical ar...I have long been fascinated by the asymmetrical arrangement of the windows on the Means house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283225970813159623.post-81822541193769722042021-07-21T18:34:19.040-07:002021-07-21T18:34:19.040-07:00Hi,

Wondering if she could be the daughter of Jeremiah Holmes, Sr. and Phoebe Crymble. Billey Saunders witnessed the will of Jeremiah Holmes, Jr. in 1799. Have you come across Phoebe's name in your research? Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261730183600411840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283225970813159623.post-34565799721921736692021-04-25T06:22:02.912-07:002021-04-25T06:22:02.912-07:00I happened upon this cemetery while winding my way...I happened upon this cemetery while winding my way back to the Hampton Inn in Westbrook. I have a fascination with grave stones carved before 1800 which feature either the winged soul effigy with the skull or with the human head. I walked through the cemetery early in the morning and enjoyed looking at the carvings. I was disappointed to see so many stones that were pushed or blown over but the overall setting is very pleasing. I happened upon your site while doing some research on the cemetery and I have to say it is one of the most complete reviews of a cemetery that I have ever seen. I have photographed grave stones in over 150 cemeteries from CT to ME and have never come across such detailed descriptions and historical background as you have provided. People will find your research and writing valuable for years to come. Great Job!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732778857372400468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283225970813159623.post-59053512976299102382020-10-29T23:01:56.975-07:002020-10-29T23:01:56.975-07:00This is wonderful work.

Also, in the far back, on the edge of the river bank, is a headstone that reads simply "Parker". This stone is kept in what might be a family sized lot. But, there is no other information on which Parkers are contained to rest there. Do you know who is buried there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707574004739585741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283225970813159623.post-56042064659667978782020-09-17T14:28:44.298-07:002020-09-17T14:28:44.298-07:00I was born in Stroudwater in 1955 and went to the ...I was born in Stroudwater in 1955 and went to the one room school house called Willard from k-3 1960-1963.Moved to Prides corner of Westbrook in 1969.
