4th great grandfather
Anson Lowell

Parents: Nathaniel Lowell and Lois Colson
Born 30 Nov 1798 Bucksport, Hancock, Maine
Married Mary F Baker 19 Nov 1815 Orrington, Penobscot, Maine
Note: On Maine Marriages, they have 17 Dec 1815 as the date. Perhaps the February date is the engagement date - or banns. In Bucksport Town records it lists that the marriage was 'published' 5 Nov 1815 and 'certified' 19 Nov 1815 in Bucksport, Hancock, Maine.
Died 30 Jan 1844 Bucksport, Hancock, Maine (age 43y)
Probate: 15 January 1845
Anson's headstone. Note the year 1844. If he was 45 and 3 months, that would mean he was born in Oct.

11 Feb 1815: Though listed in Maine Marriages, I believe that through common sense/logic, that is is actually Anson and Mary's engagement record. 


5 Nov 1815:  Here Anson and Mary are already married (She is referred to as a wife, not Miss Mary Baker). and are being granted a certificate of marriage on 17 Dec 1815.

The face of the clock David  
made in 1755
David Blaisdell

Born 5 Feb 1712 Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Occupation: Clockmaker
Note: Amesbury historian Steven Klomps asserts that the Blaisdell's were the first American-born clockmakers. David Sr. was a “mechanical genius” and made his first clock in 1735.

David hitched up with Abigail Colby and lived on Main Street in a house that is now the Bartlett Museum. The couple had four sons who became master clockmakers.

David conducted business from Kendrick’s Lane in the front yard of his Uncle Charles’ home and “never was there a more industrious or useful man seldom found.” His talents went beyond clocks. He “repaired augers, andirons, steelyards, gunlocks, tin and brassware, shod horses, and forged ironwork for vessels.” He also “sold groceries, dry goods, meat, wood, and operated a cider mill.”

The town voted to give David the meeting-house bell that historians conclude he used for casting clock bells. The clocks are still ticking today and the fine craftsmanship and quality come through the brass and pewter dials. There are 20 clocks on record made by him.David was commissioned to Fort Ticonderoga to make armor. He brought his 14-year-old son Isaac to apprentice under him. Unfortunately, he was killed in battle, but Isaac returned home to work with David Jr. and Uncle Obadiah Colby.

Life Note: inherited his father's house and lived there, as did his son, David Jr.
Married Abigail Colby 16 Nov 1733 Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts
Children: David, Isaac, Molly, Jonathan, Nicholas, Dorothy, Jonathan2, Spencer, Obadiah, Obadiah2
Died 27 Aug 1756 Fort Henry, Lake George, New York
Note about his death: He was killed near Lake George at Fort William Henry while serving in the last French and Indian War as a blacksmith. He was responsible for keeping the troops' arms and armor in good repair.
