Nathaniel Church ancestor’s of Addie McLellan Carter-Olive Jane Cates

1. Nathaniel Church, born Dec 18, 1784 in Cape May, New Jersey, died April 15, 1854 in Jonesport,ME. I believe he served in the American Civil War. At this time I

Have not found any parents for Nathaniel. As of Feb 2005.

He married Rebecca Sawyer, Dec 26, 1811, born Aug 02, 1794 in Jonesboro,Washington Co,ME, (daughter of Nehemiah Sawyer and Rebecca Sawyer)

died Dec 15, 1853 in

Jonesport,ME.

Children:

2. i Charles W. Church b. ab1830.

ii Mary Ann Church, born Aug 21, 1814 in Jonesport, ME.

iii Rebecca Church, born Aug 12, 1816 in Jonesport, ME, died July 16, 1890.

Second Generation

2. Charles W. Church, (1.Nathaniel¹) born ab1830 in Jonesport, ME, died in NS. Got information on Family in 1881 Census for River Hebert NS. We know he was

living in NS in 1875 as his son Charles is listed on 1881 census as born in NS. I suspect he and his daughter Livona and William Cates who also came in 1875 came at the same time.

He married Mercy Jane French, born AB 1831 in USA, died in NS?. Mercy: According to the 1881 Census Jane is 40 however this would only make her

13 when she had Livonia, I suspect the date should be 1831. Just a guess. Unfortunately I did not find them on the 1901 census so they were either deceased or returned

to US.

Children:

ii Walter E. Church, born ab 1857 in USA. From talking to Doris Watson. I learned she corresponded with Walters Daughter Dorothea Church Barlett. Dorothea

was 90 in 1981 in one of the letters. I guess that would make her born ab 1891. In this letter she refers to meeting only one of the Church family that was Frank she

said he was a "charming man". I believe Doris mentioned he was a Shipwright in Milbridge Mass.
