752	The "1st ult" means the 1st of the prior month	Source (S652)
753	The 1900 Census (Eastport, ME) records Jennie as giving birth to 4 children, yet only 3 are alive and this same census does not include Earnest, so we assume he died prior to to the 1900 census.	Campbell, Earnest C. (I1238)
754	The 1900 census lists this individual as Harriet M. Campbell and the 1910 census lists her as Maude H. Later records identify her as Maude, so she might have been christened as Harriet and assumed her middle name as her first. This was confirmed by granddaughter (Karen Copeland) she did not like the name Harriet, so she used the name Maude. According to her daughter Jinnee (Virginia Irving Church); Maude was named for Maude's mother's best friend Maude Seely.	Campbell, Harriet Maude (I551)
755	The 1940 Census for Oscar & Cora include a 10 year old son "Lewis". That entry might be this Karl, if he was known as Lewis in the family. Karl - his oldest son Jeffrey, age 11, and youngest son, Bradley, age 7, were killed at Christmas, by a delivery truck as they were crossing the street….still looking for the info of birth dates, and date of deaths. All Karl’s children were born in MI.	Van Newkirk, Karl Douglas (I2149)
756	The 1940 Census spells the Surname as "LaBelle". We thought it was Label. We need another source to determine which is correct.	Lebel, Robert Frances (I79)
757	The article gives his age as 82, but we believe that should be age 78	Source (S279)
758	The family moved to Lunenburg to farm when he was two years of age. At age thirteen he became an apprentice at the country store in Groton Center where he became Clerk and Partner. He self educated himself after business hours by the tallow candle and was elected to the State Legislature in 1842. Harvard College conferred upon him the degree LLD. He was elected the 20th Governor of Massachusetts in 1851. Served as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, the US Senate, and a number of other government positions.	Boutwell, George Sewall (I1025)
759	The origins for Reginald Foster (birth and parents) are still in question. Many possibilities have been suggested but none proven. Refer to Pierce's book Foster Genealogy starting on page 110 for information on this Reginald Foster. This book claims Reginald is from Brunton, Northumberland in England, but that is just one of the possible origins put forth by various researchers. Included is some history and a will. He sailed to America between 1636-1638 with wife and children. Where in England he was born, married, and lived prior to moving to New England is unknown, although there is much speculation. Reginald may have married three times, twice in England. Judith might be his second (not first) wife. The order of births of the children of Reginald and Judith is in question. The birth dates might be associated with the wrong individuals. Court records give his name as Randall.	Foster, Reginald (I1237)
760	The transcribed church records indicate Carleton being in West St. John. The town of Carleton appears to have been incorporated into the city of St. John in St. John County, New Brunswick.	Source (S383)
761	The Wadsworths lived in Kingston, Massachusetts, until 1775, when Wadsworth recruited a company of minutemen, of which he was chosen captain. His company mustered in response to the alarms generated by the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The Plymouth County battalion, commanded by Col. Theophilus Cotton marched to Marshfield, Massachusetts to attack a garrison of British troops there. The attack was delayed for two days, allowing the British time to escape Marshfield by sea. During that time, Capt. Wadsworth, frustrated with the delay, advanced his company to within firing range of the British encampment, nearly instigating combat. Wadsworth served as aide to Gen. Artemas Ward in March 1776, and as an engineer under Gen. John Thomas in 1776, assisting in laying out the defenses of Roxbury, Massachusetts. He was present at the Battle of Long Island on August 1, 1776. He was made brigadier general of militia in 1777 and Adjutant General of Massachusetts in 1778. Wadsworth's finest military engagement was in one of the worst American military defeats of the war. In the summer of 1779 he served as second in command to General Solomon Lovell over the land forces sent to make a combined arms attack on the British fort at Castine, in the so-called Penobscot Expedition. Commodore Dudley Saltonstall was in command of the naval forces. Lt. Colonel Paul Revere also served in this expedition as commander of artillery. While General Lovell remained aboard the Commodore's vessel, Wadsworth and Revere landed with the infantry and artillery and laid siege to the fort for about two weeks. Due to the reluctance of the Commodore to launch a naval attack in support of the ground forces, the British garrison held out until ships of the Royal Navy arrived from Halifax and drove the American Navy up the Penobscot River where all 43 American warships were sunk or were scuttled and burned, comprising most of the American fleet, making it the worst American naval disaster prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Wadsworth, still with the forces on shore organized and led a successful overland retreat through the Maine frontier. Colonel Revere and Commodore Saltonstall were court-martialed for their roles in the debacle (Revere was acquitted, Saltonstall was "dismissed the service"). In March 1780, Peleg was given command of all the troops raised for the defense of the Province of Maine. On February 17, 1781, British soldiers overran his headquarters in Thomaston. Wadsworth was captured and imprisoned in Fort George at Bagaduce (Castine) (the same fort he had led the attack against in the summer of 1779), but he and fellow prisoner Maj. Benjamin Burton eventually escaped by cutting a hole in the ceiling of their jail and crawling out along the joists. Wadsworth then returned to his family in Plymouth, where he remained until the war's end. In April 1784 Wadsworth returned to Maine, purchased 1.5 acres (6,000 m²) of land on Back Street (now Congress Street in Portland), engaged in surveying, and opened a store in early 1785. There he also built a house, now the historic Wadsworth-Longfellow House. He headed the committee that organized the first convention to discuss independence for Maine from Massachusetts, held in January 1786. He and his wife had ten children, one of whom later gave birth to poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Although he continued to live in Portland, in 1790 he purchased 7800 acres (30 km²) from the Commonwealth in what became the town of Hiram, Maine, settled his son Charles there in 1795, and in 1800 built Wadsworth Hall there for his retirement. In 1792 Wadsworth was chosen a presidential elector and a member of the Massachusetts Senate, and from 1793-1807 was the first representative in Congress from the region of Massachusetts that later became Maine. In January 1807 he moved to Hiram where he incorporated the township (February 27, 1807) and served as selectman, treasurer and magistrate. For the remainder of his life devoted himself to farming and local concerns. He died in Hiram on July 18, 1829, and is buried in the family cemetery at Wadsworth Hall.	Wadsworth, Gen Peleg (I1039)
762	There is a daughter "Mary" (but no Margaret) listed as a passenger of the Winthrop fleet. Daughter of Thomas and Susan French.	French, Margaret (I739)
763	There is a Jane Irving b. 25 Aug 1814 in Scotland that married a Thomas McCallum of Nova Scotia, Canada. My belief is that is a different Jane Irving from the one who married Charles Seely.	Irving, Jane (I916)
764	There is a problem associated with John B. Morrice. He is listed twice in the 1940 Census, one in Cambridge living with his aunt and also living in Tisbury (Martha's Vinyard) with his parents. But his younger brother is not listed in that census - suspect one of the listings for John should be his brother James.	Source (S26)
