I married into the Getchell family that arose from the marriage of Mace Getchell and Lydia Kimball and would be happy to exchange information on the Wisconsin Getchells for information on the Maine Getchells. Our information suggests that Mace was born in New Hampshire and moved to Maine at some later time. Thanx.

I'm interested in the Wisconsin Getchell's.

What years are you referring to on your post of Mace Getchell?

I know this is a long shot, but I've been looking for parental information on a WILLIAM S. GETCHELL born August 25, 1893 in Wisconsin. He died August 5, 1956 in Washington County, MN. He was married to Hannah Sandahl, born 1892 in Minneapolis, MN.

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi, Nancy,

The Mace Getchell I referred to was born in about 1801 in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, and died in 1966 in Sauk County, Wisconsin. Although his occupation was listed as "shoemaker", I think he spent the Wisconsin years as a farmer. In 1830, he and his family are listed in census records as living in Sebec township, Penobscot County, Maine. In the 1840 census, they are listed as living in Sebec township, but in Piscataquis County. At this time, the family consisted of Mace, his wife Lydia, and children Henry W., Sewell, Wyman, Charles and two daughters. The move from Maine to Wisconsin occured between 1850 and 1855. If this sounds like the same "Mace", let me know what other information would be helpful to you.

In regard to William S. Getchell, he does not seem to fit in to the Getchell family with which I am familiar. I'll put him on my "watch for" list and let you know if I run across anything. A side note: I found a reference to Mace Getchell that was miss-transcribed as "Man" Getchell.

Hi, Nancy,

Have found some 1900 census info from the city of Milwaukee...Edward B. Getchell, age 35, born March 1865 in Ohio, occupation--switchman, his wife Maude, age 29, born August, 1870, in Illinois, children: Ray A., age 9, born August of 1890, Albert M., age 8, born February of 1892, William S., age 6, born August of 1893, and Consuelo, age 4, born November of 1895. Hope this helps. LEN

Thank you for your replies.

This William sure is alusive .....

In the 1920 and 1930 census records, he lists his parents born in Wisconsin which would rule out the Edward.
However, it's possible that he just didn't know where his parents were born and very well could be that Edward is his father - the birth years seems to fit.
Thank you for putting on your 'watch list'.

Hi, Don, Good to hear from you. I'll try to answer the questions you have posed and provide one for you to work on, too. First of all, I have no information about the parents of Mace Getchell. I have him born between 1798 and 1801 in New Hampshire and dying in Fairfield, Wisconsin, in 1866. He seems to have appeared "out of nowhere" in Maine with no references to parents or siblings at all. I have done searches to find Getchells born within 10 years of the same time that might be siblings without any meaningful success. If you do run across any further information, I'd appreciate a head's up. Now, a question for you. The information I've found has Wyman Getchell marrying Rebecca Teel somewhere between 1851 and 1869, so I would be interested if you have heard of her. According to that same information, she died on 11 June 1872 at the age of 38. Other than that, I have nothing on Wyman's line but would be very interested in what you could add from the Wells family line. Next, I have records of a Henry C. Getchell, born about 1825, but nothing further. I also have a Henry W. Getchell, born in Maine in about 1828 and died 13 September, 1862, in Little
Rock, Arkansas, at the age of 34. I have him married to a Julia A. Hartwell, who was born in 1832. They were married 20 October, 1850, in Maine. I have no information about children or the Hartwell family line at this time. Finally, there is Charles Hazen Getchell, born 8 December, 1823 in Maine. This is the line from which my wife arose and I have a boat-load of information, including a fair number of pictures, so let me know if there are specific areas you are interested in.. There also was an Albert C. Getchell, born 1 October, 1843, for whom I have no information other than the name of his wife (Elizabeth M., born in 1845.) Anything you could add would be appreciated. Oh, by the way, can you verify the name of the parents of Mace's wife Lydia Kimball? I ran into John David Kimball, but the name of his wife (or wives) was uncertain. There, that should be enough to keep you busy for a few minutes. Good to hear from another branch. Enjoy the search. Later, LEN

I haven't heard of the other wife for wyman...where did u find that?..What I do have is Mace in the 1850 Sebec Maine census. Then Wyman married my connection..Jospehine Wells, on Oct 23, 1874 in Sauk County Wisconsin...Then I found them in the 1880 Sauk County Census. I also found Wyman in the 1900 Census in Lodi Wisconsin..Found Josephine in in the 1920 Census with one of her daughters in Montana..but not there in the 1930 Census..assuming she died there in between those census's.
How did you connect henry and charles to Mace & Wyman? I have not seen either name where i could connect them to Mace. I have not done any work on the Kimball side yet. It is good to know there are others working on this family. Good to hear from you. If I do find anything else will keep you in the loop. Thanks...Don

Thanks for getting back to me. It will take me a while to get back to the origin of those connections, but I'll get back to you when I have got it all assembled. Two searchers should turn up more than one. Thanks for your efforts. LEN
