Looking for descendants of Margaret Gidney/Richard Estey Currie. They were my gggrandparents. Margaret Gidney's grandfather was Joshua Gidney, Loyalist soldier from Emerick's Chasseurs, came to Grand Lake in 1783/84, got a land grant at Maquapit Lake, Sunbury Co. Anyone researching these famlies, I would appreciate contact. Thanks

I only have the info that Margaret Gidney married Richard Currie. Children were Mary Ann Sarah and Margaret. Sarah married John Allen McLean, my ggrandfather. Roots Web says R.E. Currie's father was David Currie and mother was Dorothy Estey. I'm very new at this, so tell me if this is something you already know. tnx

I found a Joshua Gidney receiving a land grant in New Brunswick as part of Colonel William Spray's land
grant. I found it somewhere on a New Brunswick Web site.

I am looking to connect my great anscester Charles D. Gidney, apparently a son of Charles D. Gidney
and Lucy Gidney all from New Brunswick, and possibly from St. John. I have found them in the Houlton
ME census of 1860 and in the Amity ME Census for 1880. I hope to establish a connection with a listing
by a Kent Lister et al. with the Nevers, Birdsall, and Parker families. The problem is that names in the Census do not quite match and descendants are known to have been.

Dear Grace: I wandered into the Sunbury board last week and found your posting of last Jan. I've been working on the 3 McLean families who settled in Queens County for some years now and have a fair amount of data. I am interested in your gg grandfather John Allan McLean born 21 april 1822 son of John McLean and Amy Goodwin ...marriedc to Sarah Ann Currie ... children are Adeline Terysa, Randolph, Lorenzo, Melissa Blanch, Sophia Adelaide and Lucinda Annetta.

While I have reasonable flow chart of McLeans and MacLeans , I am always interested in where folks went after they left Queens County. It appears that John Allan McLean moved to Boston and lived there until his death.

Let me know if I can help Peter D MacLean

Hi,

I believe your Richard Estey Currey who married Margaret Gidney is the brother of my GGG Grandfather Daniel Currey who married Sarah Gidney.

Do you have Sarah Gidney listed as Margaret's sister?

Hello! A surprise to get a posting after a couple of years. I've just looked at a photo copy of the Will of Joshua Currey, prepared in 1802. In it he lists his sons, Richard, David, Gilbert, Joshua, and Daniel, so you are so right!. I'll look further to see if I can find Margaret Gidney's sister or sisters. I know that Margaret married Richard Currey - I'm not certain that he was Richard Estey Currie.
Cheers.
Grace-Ellen

Tom,

Have you made your connection to the Gidney's yet? If not, I can help you. I have information on Charles Dean Gidney, his wife Lucy Nevers Gidney and their family.
