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.

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.

Stephen Willey
Born 1740 Dover, Stratford, New Hampshire
Married Comfort McCoy
Note: This marriage is listed on Family Search and has a source. However, I'm not convinced he married this woman at age 70. It needs more research. There are two children listed with similar names, but different birth/death dates. They are both listed as born in 1765 - now that would have been an ideal time for Stephen and Comfort to get married. If they were not married until 1809, Comfort would have been nearly 70 as well - beyond the age of a woman being able to give birth. 
Children: not going to list either girl that is listed on Family Search  
Died 1810 New Hampshire - I've also seen 1823 in Brookfield, New Hampshire - birthplace of their supposed daughter.

Military: American Revolutionary War
Note: Rank: Private according to the pension he received
Married Comfort Hilton 
Children: none found
Died 21 January 1853 Almshouse, Nottingham, Rockingham, New Hampshire (age 107)
Note: I've seen August 1853 as a date, but given his probate record, which took place in February, August of 1853 is impossible.

Doctor's record of his death at the Alms House in New Hampshire Deaths and Burials

Death found in New England Historical and Genealogical Record


Part of Charles Probate - according to this letter, he and Comfort lived
with James Griffen and his wife. With that said, the death record the doctor turned in claims that Charles died in the Poor House and his widow, Comfort, lives with them.




Letter petitioning court to have the pension Charles was receiving
go to his widow, who is living with James Griffen and his wife.
The Court was satisfied that this was the case and ordered it to be so.
Though, this is odd since a doctor claimed he died at the poor house (alms house).
