I have Gowells also from Auburn that I've been researching. My gg grandfather was Sumner Gowell and I've been trying to trace his ancestors and link them up with Richard Gowell and Hannah Remick. Would be interested in sharing information.

Hi. Sorry this response is so long in coming; every time I tried to read your message there were some bizarre technical problems. Anyway, I will look in my information at home to see if there is a Sumner anywhere. Regardless, though, your connection to the original Gowell is almost assured, I would think. If you prefer, you can contact me directly at drane@aya.yale.edu

Joseph Gowell, husband of Martha Bailey, is my 4th great granduncle. Since posting my previous message I have discovered a great deal about the Gowells. I would be happy to exchange information with you.

Dear Dave,

Thanks for replying so soon! Unfortunately, I'm afraid all the information regarding the Gowells is yours as the names of my great-great grandparents is all I have. Well, other than their daughter, Rachel C., and her descendants.

Hi Donna,

I have gathered quite a bit of info on the Gowells and have posted it on the Internet if you would like to take a look at it. The website is under World Connect at:

Surnames: Small, Hodgkins, Salisbury, Gilpatrick and Doan
Re: Small, Hodgkins, area,; my great- grandmother was Suzy Small,
she married Isac Salisbury around the 1860's. My grandmother was
Annie Blanch Salisbury, Born, May 13,1866.,and was listed the Us
1870 census as being 14 and in school, she later married My
grandfather Harry Carlton Hodgkins in the late 1880's.

My problem is being able to find information on Suzy Small's
parents, siblings, her place of birth and death. Nor do I know any-
thing about my grandfather Salisbury's back ground, family, siblings
birh or death.

Believe, me the Hodgkins' are not nearly as elusive. With their
genealogy, which I read completly as a child, my grandmother
Salisbury-Hodgkins' mind like a steel trap,who very rarely forgot -
anything and was amazingly, talented, honest, most frank there
was never a doubt what was on her mind.

If can help me with the Smalls in and around The Hancock Co,,
Lemoine, Ellsworth, Eden, Bar Harbor and Salisbury's Cove. Me.

Thank you

Dear Neila,
If the good Lord's willin' and the crick don't rise - and with a bit of luck - your elusive Suzy is related to my equally elusive Dennis H. SMALL. However, I doubt it because all my Smalls as well as all my other Maine surenames, as near as I can tell, hail from Androscoggin county (Minot, Auburn, Mechanic Falls, etc.). So far the only surnames we have in common are SMALL & HODGKINS.

I'm so sorry. I have been looking for Dennis for 26 years!! I'll add your Suzy to my list of people I'm looking for.

Good luck,
Donna
