Esther was born in town of Oxford,Maine but year is not known. I think she may have been born in 1930/31?.
Last known town she resided in was Gray,Maine as it is listed on my Mother Glennis' birthcertificate.

Esther was 17 yrs.old at the time when she gave birth to Glennis.

I have recently learned that for some reason,the info. that I got on an Esther Strout is that this woman DOES NOT claim Glennis as hers,rather I believe a Jennie Billings. This becomes very confusing to me as Glennis Irene Hamilton is the said child of Russell Grant Hamilton and Esther Lovejoy Strout(Lovejoy could be a maiden name but I don't know for sure).

I am starting to think that either I was given the wrong Esther OR maybe the info. of the birthcertificate was falseified somehow?
It is in fact a certified copy.But I suppose those can be messed with.
As far as Glennis goes,I think she was a ward of the state. To my knowledge,Glennis kept the last name of Hamilton(as it was given to me at birth before I was adopted)until she got married.
Sorry if this is confusing to you all but I am probably even more so! :-(

Thanks,Lorna
