[51634] Sarah's grave marker names her Fannie S. Higgins. She is daughter of Reuben Billings (1811-1899) & Sarah W Clark (1816-1872; m. ca. 1838 on Mount Desert Island, Hancock Co., ME).
[53995] Darrell is son of Alvia B. Diffin (1867-1931) & Helen M. Nash (1884-1935; m. 5 October 1902 in Robbinston, Washington Co., ME).
[41900] Find A Grave Memorial 140883724 offers her obituary: "Queen M. Zartman, 79, of Dornsife RR 1 died Tuesday at home. She retired as a seamstress from Pillow Manufacturing Co., Pillow; attended Washington Twp. schools; was noted locally as a quilter; and was a member of Grace Community Church, Herndon RR 1. Surviving are her husband, Clarence Woodrow Zartman; a son, Dennis W. of Herndon RR 1; and two grandsons."
Nathaniel r. Cornish, Maine in 1812. A Private in Capt. Briant Morton's Co. (seacoast), enlisted 27 Jan. 1776, served 7 months 4 days; company was stationed at Scarborough and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. {- ref. Mass. Sailors and Soldiers, Vol. 5, p. 59} He came from Gorham after Nov., 1796 and by 1797 to Cornish. His grandson (Col. Joshua Dunn) said the family came from Ireland and settled in the Portsmouth, NH area.
A Nathaniel Dunn, born in 1711 in MA, married in 1730 Deborah Skillin; he died in 1737 in New Hampshire (per Gerald C. Dunn, 368 Terebet Ct., Edgewood, KY 41017, 5/92, who also lists a Nicholas Dunn. born in the 1680s in NH, married in 1710 in Mass. to Deborah Grindle; he d. in 1745 - there is no indication that these are ancestors of Nathaniel of Maine). NSDAR 215834; NSSAR 119888. Tom Dunn posted on GenForum in July, 2003: "The Nathaniel Dunn who married Mercy Dyer was indeed the son of Nathaniel and Deborah (Skillings) Dunn of Kittery and Portsmouth. Nathaniel (the father) was born at Boston on 13 May 1711 and married Deborah Skillings around 1732 at Kittery. He was dead by 1738 when his wife and four children moved to Cape Elizabeth where Deborah's father was a substantial landowner. Now there is a fair amount of confusion over which of the Dunn brothers married Deborah Skillings. Hathaway & Sargent make a solid case that it was Nathaniel. Nathaniel was the son of Nicholas Dunn who married Deborah Grindall on 6 June 1710 at Boston's 2nd Church. Nicholas his wife had five children at Boston, two daughters died very young. Nicholas his wife and three children left Boston in January of 1719/20 to settle at Oyster River, now Durham, NH. While they briefly belonged to the church at Durham where a sixth child was baptized, they soon settled at Kittery where their family continued to increase. By 1733 Nicolas had crossed the river and was residing in Portsmouth. Nicholas, who seemed to have prospered earlier, fell on rough financial times and volunteered to join the Pepperell's forces which were moving against Louisbourg. Nicholas was killed there on 17 June 1745. The Nicholas described above was the son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Roberts) Dunn of Oyster River. This Nicholas was taxed at Oyster River in 1680/81, therefore he was likely to have been born prior to 1660. He is last recorded at O.R. in Feb. of 1689/90, and was dead by 1699 when his wife sold their land. Family lore tells of Nicholas being killed in an Indian raid. My own research has uncovered one of his daughters living in Canada until her death in 1735 at the age of 55. Having studied the history of O.R., I've concluded that Nicholas was one of the many unnamed who died during the raid in 1694. Sources: History of The Second Church Boston; Robbins, 1852; Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire; Libbey, Noyes et al; Nicholas Dunn Family History; 1983, Hathaway; The Skillin Book; Yates, 1926; The Skillings Family: Sargent; Old Kittery and Her Families; Stackpole, 1903; NEHGR; October,1927, page 441; Records held at the Ma. Archives; Vol. 94, p. 111 & p. 389." [n response to another GenForum query, Tom Dunn offered: "Marie Catherine, most likely a name given to her when she was baptized by the French, was the daughter of Nicholas Dunn and his wife Elizabeth Roberts. The family lived at Oyster River (now Durham, NH). During an Indian raid, she was taken captive and ended up on the south side of the St. Lawrence River. I believe the raid was that of July 1694. She married twice, once to a Dube and once to a Morillon."] "Vital Records of Gorham, Maine" (Camden, ME: Picton Press, 1991) p. 118 lists children of Nathaniel and Mercy: Deborah (b. 6 Feb 1771), Polly (10 Oct 1773), Josiah (22 Feb 1776), Samuel (15 March 1778), Betsy (17 June 1780), Benjamin (no date) and David (no date). See "History of Gorham, Maine," Hugh D. McLellan (Katharine B. Lewis, editor; Portland: Smith & Sale, 1903), p. 471, which states "Nathaniel Dunn came to Gorham from Long Creek, Cape Elizabeth. ...In 1812 he was a resident of Cornish."
