III.
CHILDREN OF JONATHAN^ (8) AND ABIGAIL
RAND.
29.
Lois. Skowhegan, Me.
; baptized Harvard, Mass., October
23,
1763;
married about
1793;
died May
12,
1815.
Husband,
Dr. Willard Sears; died December 12, 1832, age (86?)
; 2 children
(229-230).
Possibly the
Lois born
1763
died young, and
the name was
given to another born
1766, as the family say that she was aged
49 at her death.
The record of this branch was the
first to be
completed with 123 names.
30.
Levi.
Sangerville, Me.
; farmer
; baptized Harvard, Mass.,
October 23, 1763, and apparently twin of Lois; married Canaan,
Me., 1788; died 1831.
Wife, Lydia Brown; died Wellington, Me.,
1849, age 82; 7 children
(96-102).
Levi went
to Sangerville
in
1808, but
later
lived
in Wellington.
He
died
in "Aroostook,"
Me., while on a visit to his son.
There are some 250 descendants
of his daughters
; but those of his sons have not been found.
31.
Millie.
Skowhegan, Me.; baptized Harvard, Mass., Sep-
tember II, 1768; married, Canaan, Me. (intention) July 20, 1787;
died, January 16, 1845.
Husband, Sherebiah Lambert; died, May
I, 1883; 10 children (206-215).
Millie was a famous midwife in her day, presiding,
it
is said,
at
fifteen hundred births
for
a
fee
of one
dollar each.
Also
a
woman of some nerve, since on one occasion she rescued a pet calf
from a bear that had seized
it.
About 250 of her descendants
have been found, but the record
is very incomplete.

; born Harvard, Mass.,
May 9, 1769; baptized November 19, 1769; married, Canaan, Me.,

Me., January
24,
1857.
Wife,
Suzanna
Clark; born March 3, 1767; died May, 1858; 13 children (103-115).
Solomon was executor of his father's will, 1785
; held minor town
offices in Canaan
to 1790; and settled
in Sangerville,
1808.
His
home seems to have been on the island part of the Skowhegan
farm, where most of his children were born.
He went to Illinois
in 1842
; but returned
to die in Maine.
The
last of his children
died
in
1892.
Over 200 of his descendants
are
registered—the

"Oaks" and
"Oakes" were the forms of the name used.
