Families of the Children of Lydia5 Washburn and Samuel Norris

 

 

            The children of Lydia Washburn and Samuel Norris settled in either Sandwich, Massachusetts, or the area around Wayne, Leeds and Livermore, Maine. Several branches of this family are still uncertain, including the children of Alpheus Lane, and the children of Thomas Atkinson and Lydia Norris, and they may be changed or corrected if new information is uncovered. This was a very difficult branch to trace in Maine, and I am relatively certain I have not found all the appropriate probate records for this branch in Maine.
