Michael J. Boonstra 10 May 1997
I am researching the Maine family of Stonington & N. Stonington. In particular I am trying to find the name of Benajah Maine Jr.'s wife. Benajah Jr. was born about 1772, the son of Benajah Maine and his wife Dolly Woodward. He married in Stonington in the late 1790's before removing to Brookfield, Madison County New York. Benajah's first son was named Shepard Wheeler Maine and Shepard's brother Thomas J. Maine also named a son Shepard Wheeler Maine. The Wheeler family of Stonington used the unsual name of Shepard so I believe it is probable that Benajah's wife was a descendant or relation to the Wheelers who are well covered in The History of Stonington. Unfortunately no one has made the connection. Can anyone help?
