He was enumerated in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA, in the 1790,[15] and 1800 federal censuses,[16] but he was probably living in Winthrop, Kennebec Co., ME, in the 1810,[17] and 1820 federal censuses.[18] She probably died by 1830, and he was probably the male aged 80-89 years in the household of Nathan Perkins in Winthrop, ME, in the 1830 federal census.[19] No death record was found for him in Maine, and no probate records were filed for his estate in Kennebec Co., ME.
