I am looking for help finding information on my Ancestors, who lived during the 1750 -1850s, in the Sedgwick, Maine area. Please let me know if you can be of assistance.
Thank You!

Ancestor Information
Moses Black: B: Apr 1751/53 York Maine D: 22 Dec 1829.
He served in the Revolutionary War.
Wife 1: Lydia Reed (1755-1829) M: 1779?
Wife 2: Elizabeth Freethy Black: B: Aug 1765 York, Maine. D: 27 Feb,1860,
Brookline, Hancock. M: 1792? need a source for this.
Wife 3?: Elizabeth Merrill Black B: 15 Aug 1760 N Yarmouth, Cumberland, Me.
D: 27 Feb, 1860 Newbury, Essex, Me. M: 1782.
Son: Jothan Freethy Black: B: 1801, Sedgwick, Hancock, Maine. D: At Sea,
Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia.
1).Were they married or lived together (Moses and Elizabeth F) I found
a marriage record for Elizabeth Merrill, 1782, but not for Elizabeth Freethy
2) Could Elizabeth Freethy have married a Merrill before Moses Black?
3) Were there 2 Moses Blacks?
4) I don’t have any birth records for Jothan Freethy Black. I need
something supporting his birth/death and that he was Moses’ son.
5) Jothan Freethy Black died at sea. I can’t find a source to confirm this. Any suggestions where I should look for this?
