Dummer Michael "Mike" Sylvester born 19 January 1865 in Etna,
Penobscot County, Maine son of Daniel Sylvester (Calvin 6, Edmund
5, Zebulon 4, Zebulon [Silvester] 3, Israel 2, Richard 1) and Eliza
Wolf Friend (Amos 7, Phineas 6, Benjamin 5, John 4, John 3, James
2, John 1). He died 1 March 1958 in Searsport, Waldo County, Maine
and is buried in Gordon Cemetery in Searsport.

Evelyn Lissie Cochran born 20 April 1868 in Etna daughter of
Randall Nelson Cochran (Samuel) and Phebe Elizabeth Glidden
(William Stinson 7, Ezekial Averill 6, Benjamin 5, Charles 4,
Charles 3, Richard 2, Charles 1). She was missing June or July 1917
-- nothing further.

Mike and Evelyn (third cousins) married 4 July 1891 as her second
marriage. She had previously married Mr. Elbridge in 1888 in
Carmel, Penobscot County, Maine.

Children:

1. Lionel Nelson Sylvester born 7 April 1892, died December 1945,
married Mabel Stark 8 Nov 1917. One son. Later married Leona Jones.
Two daughters.

2. Vivian Daniel Sylvester born 20 November 1893 in Hartland,
Somerset County, Maine, died 24 October 1968. Married Evangeline
Estelle Washburn of Madison, Somerset County, Maine daughter of
Edward Jones Washburn and Alice Eldora Williams 22 June 1916 in

3. Gertrude Pansy Sylvester born 13 July 1899 in St. Albans,
Somerset County, Maine, died 28 May 1981, married Charles Roland
Gordon 1 May 1921.  One son and four daughters.

Mike was a farmer and a carpenter. In addition to the towns above
Mike and Evelyn also lived in Plymouth, Penobscot County, Maine
(1920); Belfast, Waldo County, Maine; Searsport, Waldo County,
Maine where he was manager of the farm on Sears Island (1916-1917).

After Evelyn's disappearance in 1917 Mike moved back to Belfast.
Mike married Harriet J. Hooper or Harriet J. Martin of Belfast on 1
May 1918. In 1920 Mike was living in Belfast with his daughter
Gertrude. In 1930 he was living in Simsbury, Hartford County,
Connecticut with Gertrude's family. At some point in time he lived
briefly in Florida.

I remember him as "Old Gramps" (my great-grandfather) when I was a
child. During that time he lived in Gertrude's home on Brock Road
in Searsport where he died in 1958.

  From a clipping in a local newspaper a few days after his untimely
death:

"Edward J. Washburn of Madison died suddenly at his home on Pine
Street, Sunday night at the age of 52, after an illness of about
ten weeks of tuberculosis.

"While his relatives and friends knew that it was only a matter of
time before he must pass on still the end at this time was wholly
unexpected and came as a great shock to the entire community of
which he was a loved and respected member.

"Mr. Washburn was a member of the Baptist church and always an
active worker in the choir, the church and the Sunday School and in
all three various places it will be hard to find a man, always so
ready and cheerful and always at his post.

"Mr. Washburn had been assistant janitor at the library and the
school buildings until failing health in the spring forced him to
give up active work, and by his unfailing courtesy and faithfulness
to his duties endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact."

I am researching the following so if anyone has any type of
information to offer - please feel free to send me a note.

Machie, Messier, Perkins, Beebe and Andert

Those are the main tree trunks anyway.

Those are quite enough for me - lol.  The Beebe, Perkins and Messier
clans are quite large.

The clans that I am related to are from New England.  Yes - all of
them.  Even the Anderts ended up in CT from Russia.

That about does it

Happy hunting to all

Video: Early Settlers of New England

In 1940 Encyclopaedia Britannica Films created an educational film
that shows the life of the early settlers of Naumkeag, a village that
later was renamed to Salem, Massachusetts. It shows the lifestyles of
1626 through 1629. This video is now available online and certainly
will interest anyone who had ancestors most anywhere in New England.
You can see how your ancestors lived.

BUSH 'MOST RELATED' SALEM WITCH TRIALS DESCENDANT

Witches join president's family history of vampires, heretics, Nazis
and Satanists

SALT LAKE CITY -- As U.S. President George W. Bush prepares to leave
one of the most controversial presidencies in history, he might
consider that his legacy begins at least better than that of his
relatives who participated in 1692 with the Salem Witch Trials,
according to a trials researcher.

David Nelson, the owner of the family-history group Bloodlines of
Salem (http://www.bloodlinesofsalem.org/), said on Oct. 3 that the
president is an 8th great-grandson of Mary Parker who was hanged
during the trials. But, his trials relationship with numerous other
participants surprised Nelson more so.

"Because so many trials participants lived in the relatively
unpopulated parts of the Salem area, their descendants are often
surprised to learn that they're related to several participants who
might have opposed each other during the trials, but whose families
married later," Nelson said. "But, the president is the most related
descendant I've researched. His ancestors and relatives were deeply
involved in the trials from accusation to execution."

The president is related to as many as 217 of the almost 1,500 trials
participants including jurors, marshals and constables who accused
others, or were accused, of witchcraft. He and Nelson are cousins,
and share several trials relatives. The trials resulted in the deaths
of 20 defendants.

Since becoming president in 2001, writers have reported about Bush's
occult history including his secret-society memberships with the 176-
year-old Skull and Bones fraternity, the 136-year-old Bohemian Club
and Grove fraternity, and the 54-year-old Bilderberg Group
conference. Photographers have published images of him showing
the "Horned Hand" sign of Satanic greeting.

Nelson's report is the first time that the president's trials
relationships have been published, but similarly horrific family-
history facts about the president were published in the last five
years:

--News correspondents John Buchanan in rural Georgia and Stacey
Michael in New Orleans reported in 2003 that the president was a
paternal grandson of U.S. Sen. Prescott Bush who was an owner of
businesses which helped finance Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, and died
in 1972 (Buchanan, John and Stacey Michael. "Bush/Nazi Link

I have a Polly Gamage who married Ambrose Thurston, probably in the Rockport, ME area. I don't have exact dates but they were  probably born in the 1770's to early 1880s. I have also seen her name spelled Gamache.

Subject: Christmas Celebration Outlawed

http://www.massmoments.org/moment.cfm?mid=369


On This Day...  
     ...in 1659, a law was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony requiring a five-shilling fine from anyone caught "observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way." Christmas Day was deemed by the Puritans to be a time of seasonal excess with no Biblical authority. The law was repealed in 1681 along with several other laws, under pressure from the government in London. It was not until 1856 that Christmas Day became a state holiday in Massachusetts. For two centuries preceding that date, the observance of Christmas ­ or lack thereof ­ represented a cultural tug of war between Puritan ideals and British tradition.

Background

Like other Massachusetts Puritans, the Reverend Increase Mather considered Christmas a "profane and superstitious custom." The Boston minister wrote in 1687 that December 25th was observed as the birth date of Christ not because "Christ was born in that Month, but because the Heathens Saturnalia was at the time kept in Rome, and they were willing to have those Pagan Holidays metamorphosed into Christian [ones]." He was correct.

The English men and women who came to New England in the 1600s were familiar with Christmas as it was celebrated in Britain. The Christmas season began in late November and continued well into the New Year, coinciding with a natural break in the agricultural cycle. It was a time of feasting, excessive alcohol consumption, general merry-making, and "misrule" (the turning of social conventions upside down). Men of means were expected to open their homes and furnish those less well off with food and drink.

Massachusetts Puritans sought to put an end to the celebration of Christmas with all of its excesses. Almanacs published in the Bay Colony did not mark December 25th as Christmas Day.

While the Puritans succeeded in suppressing most holiday revelry, they could not quell it completely. The authorities condemned fishermen and other residents of the region's coastal villages as irreligious; they behaved in unacceptable ways, from heavy drinking to "keeping Christmas."

One Christmas conflict occurred in Salem in 1679. On the night of December 25th, four men entered the home of farmer John Rowden and helped themselves to seats by the fire, began to sing, and then demanded cups of the Rowdens' pear wine. After being repeatedly refused, they pretended to leave the house, only to return and demand money. Turned out again, they continued their harassment, throwing "stones, bones, and other things" at the house and stealing several pecks of apples. These men were re-enacting the time-honored English tradition of "wassailing," where lower-class revelers entered the homes of their social superiors at Christmas time. In exchange for singing and mumming, the uninvited guests generally received gifts of food, drink, or money. In England, the tradition had long fostered good will between people who occupied different rungs of the social ladder, but as the events in Salem indicate, this was not so in Puritan New England.

Under pressure from the British government, Massachusetts repealed the law against Christmas festivities in 1681. The holiday was widely, and sometimes wildly, celebrated from 1687 to 1689, the period after Massachusetts Bay lost its charter and was governed by an English official. When the colony regained its charter in 1689, public expressions of Christmas cheer ended, at least for the time being.

The observance of Christmas did not disappear altogether, and soon a movement was afoot to purify and temper the custom, rather than stamp it out altogether. By the 1750s the most common New England hymnal, the Bay Psalm Book, included Christmas hymns, and by 1760 most almanacs named December 25th Christmas Day. Christmas music by New England composers appeared in song books published in the second half of the eighteenth century; the Worcester Collection of Sacred Harmony, published by Isaiah Thomas in 1786, even included Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."

In the early nineteenth century, fear that excessive drinking, aggressive begging, and riotous processions associated with Christmas posed a threat to public order moved middle- and upper-class Americans to re-make Christmas as a family holiday. The social and business elite collaborated with the press to reshape Christmas into a well-regulated domestic celebration. The chief beneficiaries of this kind of Christmas were children.

The new, child-centered Christmas was idealized by Clement Clarke Moore's 1822 poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which introduced Santa Claus into American lore. A few years later, Stockbridge writer Catharine Maria Sedgwick published a story that created an indelible image of wide-eyed children discovering a Christmas tree surrounded by gifts.

The gift-bearing St. Nick and present-laden fir tree coincided with a consumer revolution in nineteenth-century New England. Merchants and shopkeepers capitalized on the new materialism by advertising "thoughtful gifts" for children and others within the domestic circle.

By the 1840s many states began to make Christmas a legal holiday. An 1856 Massachusetts law accorded this status to Christmas, Washington's Birthday, and July 4th. The success of this measure was due to the growing number of Irish Catholics in the electorate. Public offices were also to be closed on these days, and it was expected that businesses would follow suit. In time they did. Early in the twenty-first century, December 25th remains one of the few days that the nation's economic engine is still.
