Hello. I'd just like to say that I am still interested in the family of my ancestors: George Freeman WILKINS and Mary Ann NEAL. George was born ~1815 in or near Unity, Maine, and Mary was born ~1818 in New Brunswick. They married ~1837 in or near Amity, Maine. They had 10 children, and I am descended from their daughter, Clarissa.
I know a little about the family of Samuel WILKINS and Electra "Leeta" ____, who were probably married ~1800 - somewhere ! They were in the 1810, 1820, and 1830 census in Unity, Maine, and moved to Amity, Maine, shortly after.
(I actually am finding out a little bit more about the couple who I believe is Samuel's parents. My "educated guess" is that they are William WILKINS and Sarah BANCROFT from Middleton, MA. They moved to "Maine" in 1770's and that is when Samuel was born. I am hoping that he was their 7th child (3 died young, possibly more).) (Sarah's father, Robert BANCROFT, was reportedly a Native American from the Ponkapoag Tribe in Canton, MA, US. Her mother was Elizabeth PICKETT, and her parents had ties to "the Mayflower" through the BREWSTER name.)
One of my "brick walls" is finding out who Mary Ann NEAL's parents were. There were NEAL or NEIL families in N.B. and N.S., but we cannot tie Mary to them.
That's all I'll say for this morning.

P.S.
On the same large branch of my family-tree, I have another female ancestor who I cannot trace: Lucy McDANIEL / McDONALD who was born ~1810 in New Brunswick. She married in Lubec, Maine, to Daniel RICE. They had 10 children, and I am descended from their youngest, Charles RICE, b1870.
Charles married a woman from Winchester, MA, and they had 2 daughters. Louise and Edith were probably visiting their father's family in Lubec, Maine, when they met George KIDDER. George and Louise married in Princeton, Maine, but came down to Winchester to live. George's parents were Joseph KIDDER and Clarissa WILKINS - the lady mentioned above.
