I want to thank everyone who has contributed to my research by responding to my research questions. I've been able to fill in some massive chunks with your help. I especially appreciate the references. My Hanson ancestry starts in New Hampshire with Thomas Hanson, the emigrant, and ends up in southern Maine. I'm searching for more on the ancestry of the following people: (1) Lucinda Burnham who married Moses Hanson in Hollis Maine on 3-6-1832.I think she may be related to the Burnhams of Essex County, MA as so many of my other Me ancesters are. (2) Francis Marion Wilkins (b.12-2-1842), son of Steven and Sarah J.(Pingree) Wilkins. My mother in law found me info on Sarah but I would still like to find out about Steven. I would especially like to find more research on the family of Hugh Mosher who settled in Falmouth,ME in the 1600's. Most of the records were destroyed by indian attacks. (3)Thomas Rainey and his wife Mary. Thomas was born in Newry,County Down, Ireland and died in Castleaglen Down, Ireland. Mary was born in 1829 and emigrated with the children in the 1880-90s with the children to Maine. (4)James Ridley Park b. Mar 15 1818 Prospect, ME, d. Oct 1, 1905 Searsport, ME, son of Thomas(6-23-1795 to 2-23-1882) and Betsey(8-2-1793 to 5-19-1868)(Ridley) Park.I'm pretty certain they are from the Park family of Westerly, RI but haven't been able to find the link yet. I have alot of research from varied sources,including out-of-print books from the LOC, NEHGS, family records, and graveyards--most paternal lines going back to the great migration. I would like to fill outmore of the lines to that same period. I would be happy to share research information with my cousins.
