I've "rescued" an old intentions of marriage certificate for Samuel
CHURCHILL and Achsah CHURCHILL, both of Sumner, Maine. The document is
dated 8th Mar 1834 and signed by Town Clerk of Sumner, ME, Zenas STETSON.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following details
regarding this couple and their families:
Samuel CHURCHILL was b. 15 Aug 1810 in Sumner ME to parents Ezra R.
CHURCHILL (b. 25 Sept 1780 in Plympton, MA) and Bethia MEHURIN (b. 25 May
1783 in Bridgewater, MA). Samuel was one of 12 children born to this couple
including, Deborah; Alexander; Bethany; Olive; Samuel; James A.; Ezra; Phebe
C.; Bethia; Barnard; Otis M.; and Narcissa CHURCHILL, all born in Sumner, ME
between 1800 and 1828. Samuel died 7 Jul 1895 and is buried in the
Greenwood Cemetery in Montville, ME.
Achsah CHURCHILL was b. 2 Sept 1808 in Plympton, MA to parents Joshua
CHURCHILL (b. 1 Feb 1769 in Plympton, MA-d. 1870) and Sylvia CHURCHILL (b.
21 Feb 1767). Achsah was one of 5 children born to this couple including,
Unnamed Infant; Ellis; Harvey; Lebbeus; and Achsah CHURCHILL, all born in
Plympton, MA between 1796 and 1808. Joshua CHURCHILL was married a second
time to Jennie ELLIS.
Samuel and Achsah were married the 1st of April 1834 in ME. Samuel and
Achsah CHURCHILL had a daughter Maria M. CHURCHILL b. 29 Apr 1837 in Sumner,
ME. Achsah CHURCHILL Died 27 May 1866. Samuel's second marriage was to
Nancy PENNEY with whom he had another child, Ulyses CHURCHILL b. 1869.
Census records provide the following information:
1850 census of Montville, ME:
Samuel CHURCHILL, age 39, a Peddler, born ME
Achser CHURCHILL, age 41, born MA
Maria M. CHURCHILL, age 13, born ME
1880 census of Montville, ME:
Samuel CHURCHILL, age 70, a Farmer, born ME, parents born MA
Nancy CHURCHILL, wife, age 51, Keeping House, born ME, parents born ME
Ulyses CHURCHILL, son, age 11, at School, born ME
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the certificate can
be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
