James: Thanks so much for this info - I'm happy to have the son's name and your records give me much to work with in the State of Maine. I always suspected that "B."
was for his mother's maiden name (Burley/Burleigh) - glad to have that confirmed as well. Piece by piece it comes together. I'll keep you advised as to what I find over the border in Maine. I have a copy of his probate inventory which is a great record of the tools and materials of a tanner who died too young. It appears that his young wife came with a sizeable dowry, given the extensive belongings of this young couple. The local Heritage Commission hopes to document his tanning mill site. Thanks again.
