Dwelly from Maine
William & Clarissa (nee BUTTERS) were both bn late 1790s & there children were born in Bangor, ME. I am connected with their eldest son Samuel who went to Australia where he married and had children. Where he died is one of many mysteries with this family.
The 1850 census has some of the family in Bangor, but after that they 'disappear'. Later census records have a William & Clarissa with other children in Veazie, ME, which while they 'fit' in age wise between mine, and same names appear in my lot's children, other forums suggest they are a different family with the mother's maiden name as SNOW.
Any help sorting this lot out would be appreciated, including suggestions of where else I can look - preferably for free.
