Here are some descendants I found. Some of Ira's children ventured far and wide.

"Loring Genealogy", 1917 edition, is available in full, for free, via Google Books.

I'm not related. Don't ask. I'd welcome additions or corrections, of course.

First Generation

1. Ira Loring 1-4 was born on 8 Feb 1801 in Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1850 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He died on 1 Jul 1865 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine (prob).
The Loring Genealogy says Ira:

Attended the Bloomfield Academy and then taught school part of the time for several years; Mrs. Loring was also a school teacher,and so were six of their children. he was a farmer and a tanner; resided in several different houses successively in the village of Norridgewock. He and his wife joined the Free Will Baptist church. he played the bass viol in the choirs of both the Congregational and Free Will Baptist churches as occasion required.

He was for some time bookkeeper in a store at Winslow, Me., the neatness and accuracy of his work winning praise.

Everyone is born in Maine.


In 1880 Betsey is still in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. Ira Franklin is hiding out under his middle name and initial, and they are both mis-indexed as "Loving".

Ira is with his parents, then with his widowed mother in all of the census entries prior to 1900. See them for the complete texts. I can't find him in 1910; I suspect he died between 1900 and 1910 but I can't find a death record, either.
+3 ii. John Loring, born on 30 Jan 1834, Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine; married Henrietta White, on 30 Sep 1862; married Helen Maria Dillingham, on 2 Apr 1867; died on 9 Dec 1903, Thompsonville, Hartford, Connecticut.

She appeared in the census in 1880 in Oneida Twp, Sierra, California. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Farmington, Franklin, Maine.
Loring Genealogy says Martha

"Taught school, first in Maine, then nine years in California; returned to care for her mother; has been postmistress several terms."


In 1880 Martha is in Oneida Twp, Sierra, California, mis-indexed as "Lonny". It looks like it could be "Loring" or "Lonny" in the original image. There ar enot that many women named "Martha W", born in Maine, who are school teachers. Many of the other Lorings were in Sierra County as well. Her relation to Mr. Roberts is "Boarder" in the original.

Martha W Loring, 53, head, Maine, Maine, Maine, postmaster
Era F Loring, 67, brother, Maine, Maine, Maine


In 1910 it looks like Martha is in Farmington, Franklin, Maine:

Helen G Howard, 73
Howard G Howard, 64
Lucy G Gay, 71
Martha W Larring, 62, servant, Maine, Mass, Maine, servant private family

Arguments for:
Martha's sister, Mary Anne, is also in Franklin County, just 10 pages away on p. 14A.
First name, middle initial and all three birth states match.
Martha "Larring" is single and has borne no children. As far as we know, Martha never married or had any children.
Her surname looks like "Lorring" in the images.

Arguments against:
Why would someone go from postmistress to being a hired woman?

I cannot find her in 1920, but that doesn't prove she died before 1920.

+11 x. Abbie Hale Loring, born on 26 Apr 1852, Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine; married Thomas A. van Norden, on 5 Sep 1876, Loyalton, Sierra, California; married George Calvin Willey, on 5 Apr 1882; died after 1920.

Since Henrietta was married in 1862 and died three years later, she isn't on any census as a Loring. Here she is in 1860 with her family in Dixfield, Oxford, Maine:

Orville White, 51

During the Civil War he made ammunition chests; resided then on the road from Chicopee to Granby. he was in poor health much of his life. Went to New Orleans, La., in 1865 and was a sutler's clerk for a while; the change of climate improved his health. Was in the furniture business with his brother John in Holyoke for some time. He was organist in the Central Baptist Church of Chicopee, and superintendent of the Sunday School. Removed to Springfield in 1887. Was superintendent of a department of the Warwick Bicycle Company for eight years.

In 1880 the family is in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts

Henry Martyn Loring and Laura Sophia Chapin were married on 30 Jan 1861. Laura Sophia Chapin 21-23 was born on 7 Apr 1840 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She died on 27 Dec 1894 in Springfield, Hampden, Massachusetts.
The Loring genealogy doesn't always give states. Laura died in Springfield, which is one of the 10 most common town names in the USA. Whether is was Springfield CT, ME or Ma is a question. Springfield, Hampden Massachusetts makes the most sense. Henry Martyn Loring and Laura Sophia Chapin had the following children:

15 i. Lizzie Adelia Loring 21,22,24 was born on 26 Oct 1863 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. She died on 10 Mar 1895.
16 ii. Edward Payson Loring 21,22,24 was born on 28 Dec 1868 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Chicopee, Hampden, Massachusetts.

5. Edward Payson Loring 3,4,25-28 (Ira-1) was born on 2 Mar 1837 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He appeared in the census in 1850 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He served in the military between 1861 and 1867 in The American Civil War (Union). He appeared in the census in 1870 in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts. He died before 1895 in Massachusetts. Loring genealogy says Edward

"... studied at Waterville College in 1859 and then entered Bowdoin College and was graduated with the class of 1961. He entered the Union Army as first lieutenant of Company B in the 13th Maine Volunteer Infantry; served in the campaign at the mouth of the Mississippi River, at Ship island, New Orleans and Fort St. Philip. Was one of the officers to whom was entrusted the work of organizing the 1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery (Colored) in 1863; was commander of Battery A.

Then was acting inspector-general on the staff of Gen. Thomas Sherman, and later major of the 10th Colored Heavy Artillery, commanding the regiment, with headquarters in New Orleans. Was in that capacity in the Port Hudson Expedition. Was mustered out with his regiment in 1867.

Returned home and studied law at Norridgewock, Me and Albany, NY; was admitted to the bar in Maine and in Suffolk County, Mass. Settled at Fitchburg. Was special justice of the police court; president of the common council; was representative to the general court in 1872 and 1874 and senator in 1883 and 1884.

He was on important committees and distinguished for insight, fairness and unimpeachable honesty. Governor Ames appointed him controller of county accounts in 1887, and his administration of that office was strong and effective, a terror to evildoers. He was a very capable writer and speaker, a valuable worker for the Republican party, with which he was affiliated.

From college days to the close of his life he gathered about him a host of devoted friends; his kindly spirit, his ready wit, his fidelity to his friends and his absolute integrity were always in evidence. A man without vices, clean of speech, calm and unruffled at all times, modest and affectionate.

Charles Bonsall writes:

Edward enlisted as a 1st Lieutenant into Co. B at Norridgewock, Maine, on 10/8/1861, and mustered in at Augusta, Maine, on 11/28/1861. On 8/15/1863 he was promoted into the Corps d'Afrique. Upon leaving the army he was breveted a Lt. Colonel.

He was described at enlistment as a 24 year old single student. He married Hannah McMillan Stark at Waterville, Maine, on 7/15/1868. I have found no record of any children.

He died prior to 12/4/1894 in Massachusetts, when his widow filed a pension application.

According to: http://www.bowdoin.edu/~prael/research/cwalum/alum_union.htm He was a graduate of Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, in the class of 1861. His service included 1st Lieutenant in the 13th Maine Infantry, 7th USC H. A., 1st La. Corps d'Afrique H. A. and Captain in the 10th U.S.C. Heavy Arty. Maj. Bvt. Lt. Col.

==========

Edward Payson Loring and Hannah McMillan Stark were married on 15 Jul 1868 in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts. Hannah McMillan Stark 23,26 was born in Aug 1843 in Waterville, Kennebec, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts. She died on 20 Sep 1899 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.
The Loring Genealogy calls Edward's wife "Helen McMillan, daughter of Stephan and Mehitabel Stark". It isn't clear if Hanna was a widow of a Mr. McMillan or McMillan was her middle name.


6. Mary Ann Loring 1,3,4,20,29-32 (Ira-1) was born on 4 Apr 1839 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1850 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Quartz Twp, Plumas, California. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Loyalton, Sierra, California. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Farmington, Franklin, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Farmington, Franklin, Maine.
There is no Mary Anderson who fits in Plumas County in 1880. In 1900 Elijah has been married to Hattie for 19 years. In 1910, Mary is with her daughter, Mary Louise, and Mary Louise's husband, Charles Sawyer, in Farmington, Franklin, Maine. George Edward was born in 1875. It looks like they divorced somewhere between 1875 and 1880.

I think this is Mary in 1880, in the next county; her birth state and name are accurate, even the "A" for "Ann". Her parents' birth states are accurate too. Elijah is buried in Loyalton, so there is a connection.

See son-in-law Hubert Haynes, husband of Bertha Sarah Anderson, for the 1900 census entry. See son-in-law Charles H Sawyer, husband of Mary Louise Anderson, for the 1910 and 1920 entries.

Mary Ann Loring and Elijah Morill Anderson were married on 10 Nov 1869 in Loyalton, Sierra, California. Elijah Morill Anderson 1,29,33-37 was born in May 1836 in Maine. He appeared in the census in 1850 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Quartz Twp, Plumas, California. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Plumas County, California. He appeared in the census in 1900 in Plumas Twp, Plumas, California. He died in 1904 in California (prob). He was buried in Loyalton, Sierra, California - Mountain View Cem.
In 1850 Elijah is in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine with his widowed mother:

Sarah Anderson 43
Deborah N Anderson 15
Elijah M Anderson 13


In 1860 Elijah is still in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine:

Sarah Anderson, 50, Maine
Dorah Anderson, 24, school teacher, Maine
Eligah Anderson, 22, day laborer, Maine


"Dorah" in 1860 is probably "Deborah" in 1850. Sarah is a widow in in Somerset County in 1840, and the only Anderson in Somerset County in 1830 has too many sons to be Sarah's husband.


In 1870 Elijah is in Quartz, Plumas, California:

Elijah M Anderson, 33, farmer, Maine
Mary Anderson, 31, keeping house, Maine


In 1880 Elijah is one of about 40 - 60 men who are working in a quartz mine in the 85th Enumeration District, Plumas, California. His status is married, but his wife isn't with him. I can't find her in Plumas or Sierra County, either.


In 1900 the family is in Plumas Twp, Plumas, California:

Elijah A Anderson, 64, head, May 1836, Maine, Maine, Maine, Carpenter
Hattie A Anderson, 41, wife, Oct 1858, Oh, Oh, Ill
Edith M Anderson, 17, dau, Mar 1883, Calif, Maine, Oh
Ruby S Anderson, 15, dau, Mar 1885, Calif, Maine, Oh
Dora V Anderson, 9, dau, Sept 1890, Calif, Maine, Oh

Hattie has borne 3 children, 3 still live. She and Elijah have been married for 19 years.

Enumerator Joseph Houston Fletcher wrote with such a clear hand that it was a pleassure to read, 109 years later, at 50% magnification. Mary Ann Loring and Elijah Morill Anderson had the following children:

Loring Genealogy says Albert

"... entered Waterville College in the class of 1861, but left to enter the Union army; went as a private in which his brother was a lieutenant, the 13th Maine Infantry. Was company clerk and after a while detailed for clerical duties. Was commissioned first lieutenant November 12, 1863, in the First Louisiana (afterward the 7th and 10th US) Heavy Artillery, of which his brother was major. He was commissioned captain in November, 1864, and commanded Fort Livingstone. He was commissioned brevet-major November 28, 1866; the company transferred to Baton Rouge where he remained till mustered out February 22, 1867.

Returning north he bought a farm at South Hadley and lived on it one year; in 1869 he bought the interest of one of his brothers in the furniture and upholstery store at Holyoke and made that place his home.

Charles Bonsall writes:

Albert enlisted as a private into Co. B at Norridgewock, Maine, on 10/29/1861, and mustered in at Augusta, Maine, on 11/28/1861. He was promoted to Corporal on 2/15/1862. On 11/14/1863 he was promoted to a 1st Lt. Co. A, 1st Louisiana Artillery. On 11/16/1864 he was promoted to Capt., Co. C, 10th US Colored Artillery

The 1890 Veteran Census reported that he suffered from "Ague and chronic rheaumatism resulting in complete nervous prostration, Never applied for a pension."

He was described at enlistment as a 20 year old single student. By 1870 he and his brother had a cabinet making and upholstering business in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

He married Caroline Wing on 12/22/1865. They had at least seven children.

He died prior to 2/8/1924 in Massachusetts.

Albert Loring and Caroline E Wing were married on 22 Dec 1865. Caroline E Wing 11,39-43 was born in 1843 in Maine. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. Albert Loring and Caroline E Wing had the following children:

20 i. George Albert Loring 11,39-42,44 was born on 8 Aug 1867 in Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1900 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1910 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1920 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.
21 ii. Benjamin Tappan Loring 11,39,44 was born on 11 Feb 1869 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.
22 iii. Grace Loring 39,44 was born on 5 Jul 1870 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.
23 iv. Caroline Ellen Loring 39,42,44 was born on 23 Aug 1874 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.
See father Albert Loring for Caroline's 1920 census entry.
24 v. Sarah Nye Loring 40,44 was born on 21 Jun 1880 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.
25 vi. Ruth Winifred Loring 40,44 was born on 21 Aug 1887 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts.

8. Julia Loring 1,3,4,45-48 (Ira-1) was born on 7 Nov 1842 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1850 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Monmouth, Kennebec, Maine.
"Loring Genealogy", published in 1917, says Julia "resides in Haverhill".


In 1880 Julia and her daughter are in Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine. Julia is probably widowed, although her status is "married".

Julia L. Taylor, Self, M, Female, W, 40, Me, Works In Cotton Mill, Ma, Me
Annie L. Taylor, Dau, S, Female, W, 18, Me, Works In Cotton Mill, Me, Me


In 1910 a widowed Julia has moved back to Monmouth, Kennebec, Maine:

Julia L Hussey 67, head, widowed, Maine, Maine, Maine, farmer
Henry Hallowell 63, hired man

Julia has borne one child, but 0 are still living. RIP, Annie Lois.

Julia Loring and Darius Daniel Taylor were married on 22 Mar 1863. Darius Daniel Taylor 1,45 was born in 1832/33 in Maine. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. He died before 1880.
In 1870 the family is in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine:

Daniel D Taylor, 37, farmer, Maine
Julia A Taylor, 27, keeping house, Maine
Anna L Taylor, 6, Maine
Mary Taylor, 75, Maine

I can't find Darious in 1880, and Julia is living with her daughter in Lewiston. I'm assuming Darious died before then. Julia Loring and Darius Daniel Taylor had the following children:

26 i. Annie Lois Taylor 45-47,49 was born on 27 Nov 1863. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1880 in Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. She died before 1910.
Julia Loring, Annie's mother, has a sad little "1/0" for her children borne/living columns on the 1910 census. I estimated her death year from that.

Julia Loring and William B. Hussey were married in 1892/93. William B. Hussey 1,47 was born in Nov 1829 in New Hampshire. He appeared in the census in 1900 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. He died before 1910. He was also known as Huzzey.
In 1900 the family is in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. Annie's husband, Harry Mills, died 21 Aug 1895, according to "Loring Genealogy":

William A Huzzey, 70, head, Nov 1829, NH, NH, NH, shoe-cutter
Julia L Huzzey, 57, wife, Nov 1842, Maine, Maine, Maine
Annie L Mills, 36, dau, Nov 1863, Maine, Maine, Maine

William and Julia have been married for 7 years. The image says "Huzzey", not "Hussey". Whether william spelled it that way is anyone's guess. I can't find him in 1880. It is "Hussey" in "Loring Genealogy".

Julia is "Hussey" in the 1910. She is a widow, too; I estimated his death from that fact.

11. Abbie Hale Loring 1,4,5,50-52 (Ira-1) was born on 26 Apr 1852 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Norridgewock, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine. She died after 1920.
Loring genealogy doesn't say what happened to Thomas van Norden, just that Abbie married him in Loyalton, then came back to Maine.

I can't find her in 1880.

See husband George Calvin Willey for the 1900 census entry and son-in-law Hadley Richardson for the 1910.

In 1920 she is in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine, mis-indexed as "Welly". Her marital status is "M", another mistake. Finally, she is living with her daughter and son-lin-law again, but they have both her and Hadley's relation as "Head", in household 28.

Hadley S Richardson, 47, head, Maine, Maine, Maine
Lura M Richardson, 36, wife, Maine, Maine, Maine
George E Richardson, 11, dau, Maine, Maine, Maine
Willis M Richardson, 7, son, Maine, Maine, Maine
Emma A Richardson, 2 11/12, dau, Maine, Maine, Maine
Abbie H Welly 67, head, Maine, Mass, Maine, farmer

She isn't with Lura and Hadley in 1930, but that doesn't mean she has died. It strongly hints that she has, though.

Abbie Hale Loring and Thomas A. van Norden were married on 5 Sep 1876 in Loyalton, Sierra, California. They were divorced before 1882 in California. Thomas A. van Norden 1,53 was born in 1833/34 in Nova Scotia.
There is a "T A Van Norden" living in Quincy, Plumas, California on the 1880 census. He is a widower, something people often said in 1880 if they were divorced or deserted. He was born 1834 in Nova Scotia. I'm betting that this is our Thomas. He has a son, "F", living with him. Abbie was probably his second wife.

Abbie Hale Loring and George Calvin Willey were married on 5 Apr 1882. George Calvin Willey 1,50 was born in Sep 1831 in Maine. He appeared in the census in 1900 in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine. He died on 4 Dec 1903 in Maine (prob).
In 1900 the family is in Smithfield, Somerset, Maine:

George C Willey, 68, head, Spet 1831, Maine, NH, Maine
Abbie H Willey 48, wife, Apr 1852, Maine, Maine, Maine
Lura M Willey 17, dau, Apr 1883, Maine, Maine, Maine

George and Abbie have been married for 18 years.
Abbie Hale Loring and George Calvin Willey had the following children:

+27 i. Lura May Willey, born on 30 Apr 1883; married Hadley Richardson, in 1905/6, Maine (prob).



Third Generation

17. Mary Louise Anderson 1,30,32,54-56 (Mary Ann Loring-2, Ira-1) was born on 5 Sep 1870 in California. She appeared in the census in 1900 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Farmington, Franklin, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Farmington, Franklin, Maine. She appeared in the census in 1930 in Concord, Merrimack, New Hampshire. She died after 1946.
Mary Louise was probably born in Sierra or Plumas Counties.

Mary's sister Bertha and brother George are in Norridgewock in 1880. Mary Louise is probably there too, somewhere, but I can't find her. Their mother is still in Sierra County.

Mary lived long enough to be listed as one of her brother George's survivors in his 1946 obituary. I can't find a death record.


Mary Louise Anderson and Charles Henry Sawyer were married in 1896. Charles Henry
