(Letter enclosed in book at page 129)
Minot Jan 19 1878
Sir, your letter was received last evening, & I will proceed to give the information you ask about my family & what little I know of the others inquired about.
My family consists of nine children 3 sons & 6 daughters viz:
1. Ann Elisabeth born Oct 8 1823 married Sept 8 1848 to Lucius Merrill.
2. Clarissa M born Feb 12 1825 married Oct 12 1859 to D. S. Whitehouse
3. Harriet Louisa born Aug 6 1826 not married.
4. William Ladd born Sept 18 1827 married Sept 28 1854 to Ann L. Farrington He is a clergyman & preaches at present in Oakland, California.
5. Sophia A. born June 18 1829 married May 6 1847 to Edwin N. Nelson.
6. Sarah Frances born Sept 23 1832
7. Mary Lobdell born Dec 27 1837
8. Edward E. born Sept 20 1842 married June 10 1875 to Emma Hastings, Lives in N. Y.
9. Myron Winslow born Aug 25 1844 has recently returned from Colorado, It is uncertain whether he will return there.
The mother of my husband came from Holden, Maine to us in 1823 and lived with us till her death Dec 25 1833
Rev Elijah Jones came to Minot about 1821 & continued Pastor of this church till his death April 29 1869 - I came in 1822
I remember Dea Chamberlain but do not know where he was from nor what time he came to Brewer. I was told that his wife was a widow Rogers when he married her & know that they lived with her son Josiah Rogers & Near where the bridge now is He was probably a Dea before coming to Br. for he was a Baptist & there was no church of that denomination there. He was very rheumatic & never went abroad much.
The Capt Lot Rider of whom you write, I think must have been a brother of my Grandfather; but if I ever knew anything about him I have entirely forgotten, but I have no doubt he was grandfather's brother. I dont think my father had any cousins in B. or O of either name, his brother Stephen lived in O. & had several sons - should think 'some of them may be living now but my brother would know more about them than I.
Col. Joshua Chamberlain had several sons & one lived in Br still who could give more information than I can.
I used to know an aged Mrs Holyoke but never saw her husband. She was a widow when I knew her. She was of the same generation as my grandparents, but she had several sons and daughters. The eldest of the sons was John & he continued to live & bring up a family in B. some of whom are still there.
Dea John H. is one of the sons & a man of some wealth I think & a good man. That old lady his grandmother was said to be from Boston, her maiden name was Treat. I dont know what time they came to B perhaps the grandson will know.
With regard to the Burrs, Charles & Joseph, they always seemed to be about the age of my father, tho he was a little the oldest. He died many years ago but cant tell how many. His wife was a Holyoke, she afterward married a Wiswell of Holden. I think some of her sons live in Brewer now. They lived a little father down the river than the Holyokes. Joseph Burr lived about half a mile above my fathers, & the widow of his son Joseph lives there still. I think they were from Hingham, Mass.

Of the Brastows I knew Deodat Sen very well and often heard of the others.
The Fishers in Brewer were not related to my husband. I don't know much about them, only that they lived there & had two daughters married there - one a Howard another a Howe.
My husbands uncle Dr Isaac Fisher lived and died in Kennebunk, or Kennebunk Port
Excuse all mistakes
I have written as much as I think would be useful to your history, if I have failed in telling all you wish to know, it is because I have thought it more easily learned by those who have known the families more recently.
Respectfully yours, Mrs B. Jones

Mr Porter
Dear Sir
Since I received your last letter I have been unusually busy, having sold my farm in Holden and moved to East Orrington & so you will parden me for being so tardy in answering your letter. You ask information in relation to the Fisher family. I have not seen the record but think I can get it sometime. And also the Hart and Mann record.
I will say here a few words from memory of the Fisher family Ebenezer F. I think was a Wrentham man & related to David Fisher, he had a brother Amos the one you named in your letter.
Ebenezer Fisher married Sarah Stratton of Foxboro, Mass. They had four children viz: Sally you spoke of a Jesse Fisher, I think he was not a relative of Ebenezer his daughter Married Samuel Cobb my brother in law. You mentioned a Gordon Fisher also he was not a relative.
The original record of the Jones family did not give the names of those persons the children married but I gathered it from other sources and my own knowledge.
