I am looking for any info on William S. Parsons, he was born about 1865, married Katherine E. Twombly and had several children, one of which was my grandfather, William L. Parsons. I seem to have hit a wall here. I was told awhile back that there were relatives in the cometary behind the brown church across from Short Sands. Any info would be appreciated, thanks...

Did you look into the Parson's Market in York Beach? It was a nice market and they used to deliver the food to your home. This was late 1930's and into the 1940's. Joan Laughton
