Notes for Adeline Stone Waterman:
This lineage goes back to to Issac Allerton, Degory Priest and Francis Cooke, all of whom crossed on the Mayflower.
The 1810 Census for Bath, Maine, lists Calven (sic) Waterman as the head of the family, includes 2 females between 0-9 years old. One of these is certainly Adeline Stone Waterman.
The 1820 Census for Bath, Maine lists Calvin Waterman again as the head of the household.It lists one boy aged 0-9, 2 boys aged 10-15, and one male over 45 years of age (Calvin Waterman himself.)The 1820 census also lists 1 girl aged between 10-15, 3 women between 16-25, and one woman over 45.
She is not listed in the 1830 Census for Bath, Maine as a head of family (only heads of families were listed in the census prior to 1850).Her parents were both deceased by 1830, but she had not yet become married.It's likely that she was living with another family member at the time of the census.Her brother Stephen Waterman is the only Waterman listed in the 1830 census for Bath, Maine as a head of a family.[Maine, LINCOLN, Roll 49 Book 1, Page 344a]. It's probable that she was living somewhere in the Bath area at the time of the 1830 census, as she got married to George Washington Duncan of Bath in 1831.Accounting for a period of courtship, it is highly probable that she was living in Bath at the time of the 1830 census, possibly with her brother Stephen.The census report indicates that two women between the ages of 20 and 39 were living with him at the time.One of these possibly could have been Adeline.
The 1840 Census, Maine, LINCOLN, Roll 145 Book 1, Page 365a, Bath, Maine, lists two women between the ages of 30-39 as living in the George Washington Duncan household.One is very likely to be Adeline, who would have been around 34 years old at the time of the census.The other is probably her sister, Julia Waterman, who would have been about 39 years old at the time of the census, and who lived with her sister Adeline and brother-in-law for many years.
The 1850 Census, Roll 261, Page 194, Bath, Maine, lists Adeline as being 49 years old as of August 21, 1850.This would put her year of birth to 1801 or 1802.The 1850 Census also lists her place of birth as Maine.However, the 1850 census also lists Julia Waterman, who was apparently her sister, as being 50 years old and born in Massachusetts.If this information is correct it would mean that her parents moved from Mass. to Maine sometime between 1800 and 1802.
The 1860 Census Bath, Maine, SAGADAHOC, Roll 448 Book 1, Page 148, list her as being 50 years old as of June 1, 1860.This would put her year of birth to 1809 or 1810.
The 1870 Census, Bath, Maine, SAGADAHOC Co., Roll 557, Book 1, page 256b, lists her age as 60 as of the census date.This would put her year of birth to be 1809 or 1810.
The Bath, Maine cemetery records indicate that she died on January 28, 1876 at the age of 69.This would put her year of birth to be in 1806 or 1807.
Her death notice was reported on page 3 of the Bath Daily Times on January 29, 1876.There was no obituary.The death notice, in its entirety, reads as follows:
"Died.In this city, Jan. 28th, Adeline S., wife of Geo. W. Duncan, aged 69 years."
She is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Bath, Maine, along with her husband, George Washington Duncan and several other members of their family.
According to the Probate Court for Sagadahoc County, no will or record of any probated estate exists for her.
