Ed Note ... 1850 Census has a Henry and ? CHarles in Calais via the Samuel Scott Family in 1850 in Calais (Samuel then is 63 ...1787 born) Washington Cty .. in 1870 a Charles & Henry of 30-31 & 37-38 , brothers are living & working in Portland. Chas Henry Scott GGF is Maine born [1853] as are his parents. ...If he is this Henry's son .. then Samuel >>> Henry b 1832 >>> Charles b. 1853 m 1878 Cape Elizabeth to Mary Ann Durgin ... parent of Sarah 1883 & Mary Alice 1885 ..Sarah Scott married Joseph Connolly 1906 ... parents of Owen F. Connolly ..1921 ..[married Dorothy Cormack in 1947] ...parents of Scott M Connolly .. b 1949 ..this editor.]
Other clues are Chas Scott of Calais with a Mary Alice for a wife NB born (but that would give GGF Chas Scott's census report an error .. both his parents are Maine born) ... howevera as a truckman .. he is an employer or work -source affiliated with 'teamsters' ... which affiliation runs to several directory entries pertinent to a Chas Scott and Bernards & Bryans Connollys entered as teamsters
in Portland Directories ... Cousins (Scotts) .. and recollect that Bryan Connolly's 3rd son 1880 born Joseph would wed Sarah (dghter of Chas Scott --) in 1906 ..Portland raised & wed. Bernard Connolly, Bryan Connolly Charles Scott .. and brothers Joseph & John Connolly (via Bryan) ... share Chas Scott's office address 228 Cumberland Ave .in City Directores (elsewhere at this site)
Please, in using this data remember that the editor is reconstructing missing or lost family records of Mary Alice Scott .. b Portland Maine? 1885 to Chas Scott & wife mary Ann Durgin Scott
