assistant: Hi ... I have received a listing of LANOUETTE marriages,
which were indicated as coming from:
.
  Maine Marriages 1892 - 1966"
  Maine Genealogical Society and Picton Press
  Copyright 1996 - Picton Press - All rights reserved
.
Indicated on this listing were the following two entries:
.
  L530 LANOUETTE Robert of PORTLAND ME
    to B550 BOWMAN Marjorie of PORTSMOUTH NH on 08/13/1935
.
  L530 LANOUETTE Robert of PORTLAND ME
    to S322 STOCK Marjorie of PORTSMOUTH NH on 08/13/1935
.
I believe that the above Robert may be the same individual that I
have in my 16,000 plus names genealogical archives that was married
to a "Margery" KERSHAW on (date unknown).
.
Does anyone have any clue on how I can unravel this mystery?
I would appreciate any and all comments!

Have a good day and a better tomorrow!  bcnu, Henri, le "frog"

Here are a few messages that I saved from the Phillips list that pertain
to Ohio.  Don't know if they will help or not.
Area # 0  Email                     01-06-98 18:58      Message # 173
From    : JERRY & VIRGINIA PHILLIP
To      : ERIC CURTIS
Subj    : Phillips in Ohio
From: Jerry & Virginia Phillips <vphilli@erols.com>
To: GRANDOLPH@skn.net
Subject: Phillips in Ohio
Hello Kim;
May I suggest you look at Coshocton Co, OH for missing Phillips.  My
husband's GGGF had brothers, George Washington Phillips and John
Phillips who stopped off in that county while the rest of the family
continued west to Clermont Co.  One of the descendants of George was a
James who later went to Nebraska.  My husband's line lived in the same
town in Nebraska so we figured inasmuch as they were cousins, they had
to have known of each other back from the Ohio days.  Oh...that was
Furnas County, NE.  This James was a teacher.  Most of the Phillips were
Church of the Brethren so never in the military.
Hope this helps.  If I can be of further assistance, please let me
know.  I see you have Bakers also.  Some of the Phillips hooked up with
Bakers from Coshocton Co. also.  Be sure and check out the Coshocton Co.
web page.
Good luck,
Virginia of the Maryland Phillips'  :-)

to JOHN A. BROWN born about 1822 in Butler Co., Pa.  His father, John Oliver
Brown was born in Scotland and died in Texas.  I haven't determined if he
ied
in the Mexican War in 1847.  Several John Browns fought in that war that
here
is a book available on all of the John Browns.  Just wondering?

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks anyhow, really, but I'm certain this particular group was not from
that area.  There is considerable evidence that the generation mentioned as
being "in Lebanon" resulted in a generation of kids and marriages all in
Kennebec (which was formed from Lincoln), and the other chap's folks were all
in Lincoln and Kennebec.
I know the source which gave me "Lebanon" is faulty in a few other ways, so
translation of Lincoln to Lebanon by error makes much more sense.  Too, there
was little evidence of traffic flow from PA to ME; more likely that folks
went south and west from PA, and also south and west from ME, if they moved
at all.  My group went to OH once it opened up, and then their second and
later generations went further west, through IN and IL to the west.  My
closest connections to their descendents are in IN today, and they know their
family came from Kennebec, ME.
Thanks also for participating with this.  I've seen that line.  It is also
well-described in my copy of Burke's _American Presidential Families_.
Sadly, I found other ancestors of that criminal trying to sneak into my
database, but his HUSSEY line thankfully isn't part of mine.  Maybe there was
a connection across the pond, but I haven't pursued beyond New England.  If
you are related to him, you might be related to some of my other distant
cousins.
Thanls again for jumping in with that; I do appreciate it.

     as a representative from some church or similar institution.  She
     remained with the army during the remainder of the war, and
     actually rode part of the way in the review in Washington.  Staunch
