Re: Gr. Grandmother-Gatchell
My name is Benjamin Gatchell originally from Brunswick, ME (now residing in Seattle, WA). I am the son of Daniel Gary Gatchell resident of Brunswick, ME born in Bar Harbor, ME. He is the son of John Gatchell who spent most of his life in Bar Harbor. John Gatchell married Hester Seavey. They both have passed on but me and my dad (Dan) are intersested in our ancestry. St Albans is only a couple hours away from Bar Harbor. I would like to switch information with you. I will educate myself more about the lineage.
Hope to hear,
Ben Gatchell

So let me know If I can help you ---
Samuel Getchell -- 1657-1710 -- had 13 children by Elizabeth Jones of Amesbury, Mass.
