Trott, Rigby, Gulliver of Massachusetts and Maine
Hello fellow Trotts: I’m looking for any info on any ancestors and/or descendants of Thankful Trott, b. March 1700 in Milton, Nofolk county, MA, to John Trott 1664-1719 and first wife Mehitabel Rigby (Rigbee).
Thankful married Seth Gulliver in 1723 in Milton, MA.I am descended through their daughter Lydia Gulliver (1736-1776) who married James Shepherd (Shepard) (1731-1815) and moved to Jefferson, Lincoln county, ME which was called Balltown at the time.
Lydia may have died giving birth to her son, Gulliver or Culliver Shepard (born Dec 1776); he is my GGG-grandfather.
Culliver married Jane Poor or Powers (born 1783), had a daughter Jane Shepherd (1808-1861) who was the first wife of Gorham Heal (1808-1883) and lived in Lincolnville, Waldo, ME.
This info will help me through a 'brick wall' in my tree!
