Hi, there! This comes to you as a subscriber to the Chadbourne Family "List" to
which you have a free subscription.
We thank Wendy Pirsig of the Old Berwick Historical Society in Maine for pointing out a
front-page article (click the link below) about the latest discovery, IHS, at our
now-nine-years excavation of the long-lost home of the Humphrey Chadbourn(e)s of our
second and third generations. They with their wives Lucy (Shapleigh) Treworgye and Sarah
Bolles lived in this house/compound, believed to have been burned by Native Americans in
the raid of 1690. We presume occupants had fled across the dam or a log boom to the
Spencer Garrison on other side of the cemetery.

we store data at other locations, called up automatically. Clicking on a picture of
interest will cause it to be enlarged for a closer view.
We believe you'll be very happy if you explore thoroughly the other links on the left
side of the opening screen.
For instance, within two weeks one new-found cousin (whom I believe didn't know which
Mary Chadbourne his male ancestor had married in the 1700s) learned he could find her
name, parents and several generations back in the 26,000 every-name index on that
scrollable page of links. He was later able to go jump directly to that family. thanks to
the active links there.
More information about this excavation, annual gatherings in October, 2003 and August,
2004 will be found at the same
