I think that I am descended from Nathanial Chandler and Ruth Fish. This I know for sure,
my great-grandmother was Elvira D. Snow. She married Rev. Moses Hanscom.
Now it gets fuzzy. In the records that I have seen mostly on family
search.org,
Elvira's name has been spelled Elvlira, Elivera and finally, Elvin, a boy. I am going
to try to straighten it out.
After burrowing through much more wrong internet info, this is what I' ve figured out:
Her father was, I believe, Deacon Jonathan Snow, son of Abizer not Ambrose. His wife was
Rebecca Chandler. They are buried in Maquiot Cemetery, Brunswick, Maine.
I think that his wife, Rebecca Chandler, was born in 1785 in Poland, Maine. Although
Jonathan's birth was recorded in Poland, Maine, he was actually born in Brunswick.
They married in 1814 or 15 in Minot, Maine. There are records that show both years. They
may have had two children in Poland. Two more, Abiezer and Elvira, my gr-gr grandmother,
were born in Brunswick.
Do you have any information about either Rebecca or Jonathan? The info that I have on her
family is sketchy and nothing on Ruth Fish. Info would be appreciated
