"Do you have any ancestors that lived in Southport, Maine? Is your last name Marr, Pierce, Pinkham, Collins,  Brewer, Cook, McClellan, Hodgdon, Cameron, Blake, Sherman, Pratt, Barter, Blackman or Alley? If so, you might be able to trace your roots back to Thomas Marr and Eunice Spinney, who were born in the late 1780s."

So goes an article written by Jim Singer, Friend of the Southport Historical Society, and published in the Boothbay Register, which you can read here: What a family tree! Makes me wonder if any of the Marr descendants attended last weekend's Celtic Connections Conference.
