Classification: Query
Surnames: Almon, Freeman, Wilkins, Bancroft
Hello. Several researchers and I have been trying to solve a family mystery for a long time. It is also a "brick wall" in regard to who Samuel WILKINS' parents were.
But the reason I'm posting a query here is that we have always wondered about the names of Samuel's children. First, I can mention that all we know about his wife is that she was Electra "Leeta" ______. I was just told this week that they had 10 children "somewhere" but we only know about 4 out of the 5 surviving children. They seem to have all been born 1800-1820:
Samuel WILKINS, Jr., Almon WILKINS, (daughter), Mary Ann/Jane WILKINS, and George Freeman WILKINS.
No one knows who Samuel's parents were. My educated guess is that they were William WILKINS and Sarah BANCROFT. They had moved from MA to "Maine" ~1780 and that is when Samuel was born. But I have a guess that Sarah died as a result of childbirth.
So, we are wondering if Electra "Leeta" (unknown) was related to a Freeman or ALMON family. Or, whether a Freeman or ALMON family raised Samuel.
This would have been either in NH or "Maine." The family shows up in "Maine" in 1810 and remains in Maine. No one knows where the family was before that, but the couple probably married ~1800 "somewhere."
