More Harpswell Resourses

List of Works at Maine State Library
by Rev. Charles N SINNETT 1847-1929.


The Rev Charles N SINNETT compiled many genealogical studies on families of
his home town in Maine from the his residence in the mid-west.  Take care
when using his information as most of this information was compiled by mail
but his works should not be over looked  for clues.
They are a real must see if one is researching Cumberland County families.
Only a small part of his compilation has been published & his collections
can be found at the Maine State Library, Maine Historical Society in
Portland, Maine, & the New York City Library.  

Virginia T Merrill of Solon, ME has retyped some of his works, indexing them
& gave a copy to the Maine State Library.

Bailey, Deacon Timothy 1742

(Wheeler only lists Timothy Bailey as an early land owner on Bailey Island.

This would also make him one of the earliest settlers of Harpswell.)
