Charles Elmer (Jul 1834-16 Aug 1916) — m. Roxanna Lufkin on 20 May 1866
unknown girl
Stephen was born in Clinton, Kennebec County, Maine to David Lufkin, Sr. (2 Oct 1766-10 Aug 1850) from Chester, Rockingham County, New Hampshire and Hannah Dow (29 Dec 1766-23 Dec 1819) from Goffstown, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. That’s according to a reconstructed birth record, and to their pages on findagrave.com. Another source claims Stephen was from Bow, Merrimack County, New Hampshire. Other Lufkins from New Hampshire also came to Maine, including Stephen’s brother James Brown Lufkin (1791-1869).
Polly was from New Gloucester, Cumberland County, Maine, fourth of a claimed 13 children to Josiah Stinchfield (17 Oct 1763-24 Nov 1825) from New Gloucester and Molly/Mary Morse (14 Nov 1761-24 Nov 1825) from Uxbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts. She sometimes claimed to have been born in Massachusetts, which is technically unassailable since all of Maine was part of Massachusetts at the time.
Stephen and Polly married on 14 Oct 1811 in Avon, Franklin County (Oxford County at the time), Maine. Stephen later served in the War of 1812.
1820 and 1830 census records showed a Stephen Lufkin in Oxford County, Maine. The 1840 census showed the family in Berlin, Franklin County: Stephen, in his fifties, with a wife in her forties, a woman in her twenties (Lucinda or Nancy), three boys between the ages of 5 and 19 (George, Luther, and Charles), and a girl under 5 (unknown). They probably hadn’t moved; Franklin County wasn’t created until 1838.
The 1850 census listed Stephen and Polly (both 60) in Phillips with sons Luther (23) and Charles (15), widowed daughter Lucinda Grover (36), and Lucinda’s children William (8) and Mary (7). Also present was Stephen’s father, David (85), categorized as “pauper”. They were living next door to James and Mary Morrison, doubtless some relation to their son-in-law David. Their married daughter Hannah was just up the road in Madrid.
The 1860 census showed them, ages 70 and 69, with just Charles (24) still home.
Stephen died in 1868 and is buried in Marrow Cemetery, Phillips. The 1870 census showed Polly living with Charles and his family in Phillips. She died in 1873, and is reported buried with Stephen, but the grave has not been located.
William married Hannah P. Beedy/Beede (Jun 1815-1 Nov 1889) from New Hampshire about 1837. They settled in Madrid, and had eight children:
Louisa A. (5 Oct 1837-14 Jan 1919) — m. Loren Adams on 22 Nov 1854
Franklin “Frank” (1839-16 Aug 1910) — m. Sarah Dunham in 1862; m. Mary Amelia Norris
Vesta (15 Aug 1840-26 Sep 1913) — m. William Isaac Sargent on 2 Mar 1862
Mary Ada (30 Sep 1841-26 Oct 1892) — m. Samuel Brackett Wing on 2 Aug 1857
Sarah (Jan 1843-12 Jul 1904) — m. Hugh J. Staples about 1860
John (1847-????) — prob. died young
William, Jr. (8 Feb 1849-7 Mar 1905) — m. Abbie L. about 1880
Hannah Elinora “Nora” (8 Mar 1851-after 1930) — m. Andrew Warren Davenport on 20 Mar 1871
The 1850 census for Madrid listed them with seven children: Louisa A. (13), Franklin (11), Vesta (9), Mary A. (8), Sarah (7), John (3), and William (1). They were next door to Joseph Dunham Hinkley and family. William died in 1851, the day after the birth of his youngest child, and is buried in Madrid Village Cemetery.
The 1860 showed the household down to Hannah (supposedly 43), Franklin (21), Vesta (19), William (11), and Hannah Jr. (9). On 11 Feb 1865, Hannah (supposedly 47) married Salmon Sargent (52) in Madrid, a second marriage for both. By 1880, she was widowed again and living with son William Jr. and his wife Abbie. She died in 1889, and is buried with William Sr.
Lucinda married one Thomas Grover, date unknown. There was a Thomas B. Grover born 8 Nov 1808 in Avon – a good bet, but there’s no proof. They had two children I know of:
William H. (1842-19 Dec 1867)
Mary S./L. (4 Mar 1845-22 Jun 1921) — m. Joel D. Grover about 1860
The 1840 census for Franklin County listed a Thomas J. Grover household as a couple in their twenties, with a girl in her late teens (possibly a sister to one of them), a boy and girl age 5-9, and a girl under 5. No telling whether it was this family, but probably. They were next door to the family of Joseph B. Lake.
In 1850, Lucinda and the kids were living with her parents, so we presume Thomas had died. In 1860, she was living in Avon with a Peter Smith (74) from Massachusetts, listed as housekeeper, while daughter Mary, recently married, was living in Farmington.
Lucinda’s son William died in 1867, and her father Stephen the year after that. In 1870 she was still in Avon, still as housekeeper, but now with a William W. Carr (62) from Maine. Lucinda died in 1873, and is buried in Marrow Cemetery, Phillips, the same place as her father, her son William, and her sister Hannah.
Hannah has her own entry in the family tree.
There’s nothing about Nancy apart from her 1821 birth record.
George married Anna Hale (18 Feb 1825-29 Dec 1885) about 1845. Children:
Loretta Ellen (11 May 1846-13 Nov 1888) — m. William Hancher Gray on 25 Feb 1875
??? (Sep 1847-Sep 1847)
George Wesley (4 Mar 1849-1 May 1917) — m. Frances H. Walken on 27 Mar 1882; m. Anna M. Running Barrott on 31 Mar 1888
Phoebe Emma (4 Nov 1851-13 Jul 1921) — m. Isaac Beason Gray in 1871; divorced; m. Abram S. Manchester on 27 Mar 1882
Andrew Truman (Jan 1854-20 May 1855)
Mary Ella (9 Dec 1856-2 Feb 1922) — m. Walter John Garven
Rosannah E. “Rose” (1858-9 Mar 1864)
Hattie Alvira (20 Jul 1859-1896) — m. John French Moody on 2 Sep 1882
Willie S. (2 Aug 1864-18 Jul 1865)
They were living in Phillips in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses, near other Lufkins. However, the 1870 census had George living with just a 26-year-old housekeeper named Susan Berry, the kids living elsewhere, and no trace of Anna. George died in 1873 and is buried in Marrow Cemetery, Phillips.
In the 1880 census, Anna, widowed, was living in Phillips with George, Emma, and Hattie, plus some grandchildren. Anna died in 1885 and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where most of her surviving children had settled.
No trace of Luther after the 1850 census.
Charles married Roxanna Lufkin (1840-1923) on 20 May 1866. Her father was David Lufkin, Jr., Stephen’s younger brother, and her mother was Mercey Woodman Stinchfield, Polly’s younger sister, so she and Charles were first cousins twice over. They settled in Phillips. Known children:
Flora Jennie (Jun ?1866?-?1940?) — m. Frederick Arthur Fisher on 14 Mar 1892; divorced; m. Laurence J. Petrie on 20 Dec 1893; m. Ira Eben Russell on 30 Mar 1908; divorced
Charles Weston (22 Sep 1868-3 Oct 1944) — m. Linna Lane on 2 Jun 1903; divorced; m. Burnette Cora Hewins Harden on 1 Jan 1915
Willard H. (26 Aug 1870-24 Apr 1952) — m. Viola Clark on 14 Sep 1895
Archie Leland (1 Jun 1875-9 Nov 1944) — m. Winnie A. Douglas on 1 May 1908
Etta (1879-????) — prob. m. Addison West in 1899
In 1870, Charles’s widowed mother Polly (who was also Roxanna’s aunt) was living with them. Charles died in 1916, and Roxanna in 1923. They’re buried together in Evergreen Cemetery, Phillips. Their son Charles W. is buried there too.
